Northern wisconsin DEVELOPMENT.

That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies the northern
half of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardshlps
and vicissitudes of frontier life,
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C
count of exorbitaDt land prices.
1t is in that stage of partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, goodroads
and other improvements are 60
ing in. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari, kaolin and clay
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity to the
settler and the manufacturer.
Land is cheap and can be pur-
chased on easy terms.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the quick and
cheap transportation of it's pro-
ducts and as the line penetrates
the very center of this vast north
ern territory, choice of location
is not confined to any one par
ticular locality.
Interesting pamphlets and
maps fully describing this beau
tiful and rich country can be OBJ
tanned by addressing,

Representative Jones, of Virginia,
tells this story on his father: Direct
ly after the war Jones senior was sent
to the state senate. An old slave who
had belonged to him was also elected
to the senate. The two drew adjoining
seats. Senator Jones was very cour-
teous, and in addressing his former
slave always called him senator. The
old negro stood it for some time and
finally said: Massa William 1 don't

Pretty Japanese story.
One of the prettiest of all the stories
relating to mirrors is that which comes
from the far east. In this a man
brings as gift to his wife mirror of
silvered bronze. Then she, having seen
nothing of the kind before, asks in the
innocence of her heart whose was the
pretty face smiling back at her. And
when, laughing, he tells her it is none
other than her own. she wonders still
more, but is ashamed to ask further
questions. But when at last her time
comes TO die she calls her little daugh-
ter and gives her the treasure she has
long kept hidden away as sacred
thing. telling her: after 1 am dead
you must look in this mirror morning
