LA Never Reached the could Folks at
HoTne.'
Surgeon General Sternberg told a
&ood story once of an experience he
had in the civil war. He said that
when he was going into the battle Of
Bull Run the Irish sergeant major of
his regiment came to him with a big
bag Of gold coin weighing three or
Hour pounds and said:
Doctor, l know that I'm to be kilt
entirely, an | want you to take care
of this money an see that it gets to
the ould folks at home'
There was no time to demonstrate or
TO make any other arrangement, and,
dropping the bag into the surgeons
Zap, the Irishman hurried away to his
place at the head of the column All
through two bloody days DR.. Stern
berg carried that bag Of gold with his
surgical instruments. and it was bur-
den and an embarrassment to him. He
tried to get rid of it, but couldn't find
any one willing to accept or even to
share the responsibility, and he
couldn't throw it away for the sake of
the could folks at home'
Toward the close of the second day
the surgeon was taken prisoner. He
lost his surgical instruments and his
medicine case, but clung to the gold,
<and, making belt of his necktie and
handkerchief, tied it around his waist
next to his skin to prevent it's confiSca-
ton by his captors. During the long,
hot and weary march that followed the
ay0ldpieces chafed his flesh, and his
waist became so sore and blistered as
no cause him intense suffering, but he
WAS bound that the "ould folks at
home" should have the benefit of that
mDney and by the exercise of great
caution and patience managed to keep
1t until he was exchanged with other
prisoners and got back to Washington.
There he found his regiment in camp,
and one Of the first men to welcome
Gain was the Irish sergeant major. who
zNas so delighted to learn that the doc
&aT had saved his money that he got

Expansion in Northern Wisconsin.

The wise poor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufactures who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin a few
years ago, when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaping their reward. Northern
Wisconsin:is feeling expansion in
the truest sense Of the word. Op-
portunities have not passed by any
means. There are still thousands of
acres OF rich hardwood timber lands
awaiting the settler as we'll as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaoliD,
maral aud timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.
Trans portation facilities are un-
eScelled. The wisconsin Centera
Ry., a strictly Badger State Road,
pierces the rich northern portion Of
the state, offering excellent transit
service to the markets of the world.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
about Majors cement.
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. oetter
than other cements for which similar claims
are made. but great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr.. Major
usts the best materials ever discovered and
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits Mr. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs s.. 70 pound
and another costs 81 Is a gallon, while q large
share of the SO-called cements and liuui1
glue upon the market are nothing more than
sixteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retailS at fifteen cents and
twenty five cents bottle, and when a dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
it his only object is TO make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is dOubtly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
OF Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts 10 over $4,000 a month throughout
the country. Established in 1876

ly wrote to the Commissioners calling at
tention to the dusty condition of Thir-
teenth Street, between B Street north
and B Street south, and asking that it be
remedied by the daily sprinkling of the

In their letter they said that the por-
tion of the street in question borders on
the east end of Lincoln Park, that the
surface is not paved, and that, because it
is a much fused thoroughfare, clouds of
dust arise in dry weather. This, they
said, in summer. when the houses must
be kept open, is ruinous to furniture,
