CONVINCING PROOF.
The Average Wausau Citizens Must
Accept the Following Proof.

The great Sir Isaac Newton, one of
the most profound reasoners the world
ever produced, once cut a hole in a
board fence to allow favOrite cat ac-
cess to two gardens, and cut smaller
hole to allow her kitten to follow her.
The weakness manifested in Sir Isaac'S
action was due to want of thought.
Any reader who mentally debates the
proof offered here about Doan'S Kidney
Pills and arrives at any other couclu-
sion than that stated in this citizens
statement, is as short of reasoning pow
ers as the philosopher when he turned
carpenter.
Mr.. John Smith, of ll6 Eveland
Court, Menominee, stationary engin-
Ger, says: Il had symptoms of kidney
complaint for long time and felt that
| ought to do something to better my
condition. 1t was not serious, yet it
annoyed me greatly especially when l
caught cold, for it always settled in my
kidneys and made my back lame and
sore. 1t was hard for me to get down
to sit in n chair and equally hard to
rise. My back was weak and soon
tired out and ached if | stood long or
did much walking. When saw Doans
Kidney Pills advertised to cure such
cases as mine | got box at drug
store and the remedy did just what was
claimed for it. In a short time all SYM
toms of kidney ailment were removed.
Should it ever return | should look to
Doan'S Kidney Pills for relief. | can
confidently recommend them to any
one"
just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in WauSau. Drop
into AlberS' drug store and ask what
his customers report.

Not Quite the Same Thing.

Some of the sycOphants have found
and made use of another opportunity
to compare President Mckinley with
George Washington. They say McKin-
ley, like Washington, has refused a
third term. George Washington re-
fused a third when he could have OBJ
tanned it with scarcely a dissenting
voice. Possibly Mr.. Mckinley would
do the same thing, but he has not been
tested, for he has not been even offered
nomination by his own party Plat
and ono O. two others suggested MS
nomination, and thereupon considera-
bic newspaper comment followed.
While this seems to be time when it
has become fashionable to overterm
established precedents and usages in
our government, to treat with con-
tempt the declaration of independence,
and even TO look leniently upon infring-
ments of the constitution, perhaps,
nevertheless 1t might not be an entirely
safe thing for the republican party to
attempt to Subvert the custom of not
electing the same man as president
more than twice. Then again, perhaps
nomination is not quite equivalent to
an election with a republican candidate
for president. So it would seem there
is hardly any room to claim that McKin-
ley has initiated George Washington
this time.

SOME of the newspapers have been
speaking in cOngratulatory tones about
the prospect of getting an adjudication
of the question as to the legal quality
of spanking a man may administer to
his wife 1t seems that wife in New
York has sued her husband for divorce,
alleging that when he spanked her he
did not do it mOiiter mGRuS impOSlGt, as a
lawyer would say,-or in plain English,
no harder than the occasion required
We apprehend, however, that there is
not much occasion for congratulating
mankind upon the prospect of settling
this veXed question The most that the
New York case can determine is to
establish the rule in eases exactly SIM
liar. As Chief Justice Gibson once
said, as to fraud cases, Every case
must rest on its own bottom" So it is
with spanking eases, what might be
enough in one case would not half
cover the ground in another, and rice

Many a time l hev wanted a peach

Mr.. Gallup was holding his breath
over the statement that the Virgins

course he didn't answer.
"The cider vinegar amt no good,
Samuel. 1t didn't work, and you might

She looked full at Mr.. Gallup for the
first time. His eyes were still glued to
that pamphlet. 1t was stated that the
Virgins washer was So constructed
that it could be attached to a potato
slicer or an apple parer and no readers
interest could help but grow.
Mrs. Gallup waited 60 seconds for
an answer, and then as none came she
softly rose up and went out into the
kitchen and began to get things ready
for breakfast. She had been gone ten
minutes when Mr.. Gallup smiled. He
didn't smile because he heard her sing
ing a verse of "The Old Oaken Bucket"
but because Mr.. Virgins finished his
pamphlet with the declaration that no
matter who wrote the poetry of
America, he proposed to wash the
shirts of the nation. NJ. QUAD.

How WATER Causes n Fire.


One would hardly believe that a bot
tie of water standing harmlessly on
table could be the cause Of a fire.
Nevertheless such is the case. In my
| laboratory the other day detected the
OdOr Of burning wood and, seeking the
cause, noticed a tiny wreath of smoke
rising from the counter. Setting aside
a flask Of water that stood close by 1
spOnged over the burning spot with a
damp cloth. Shortly after l again de-
tected the odor of burning wood, when,
to my surprise, 1 discovered another
burning spot on the table close to the
water flask. The flask was standing
in the sunlight thereby concentrating
the rays to a focus On the top of the
table, acting in this case as n burning
glass. A handful of highly combusti-
bic material was thrown over the burn
ing spot, catching fire almost immedi-
ately.
l cite this instance merely as a warn
ing to chemists and apothecarics, who
may not realize how easily a fire may
be started in their stOrerooms by the
sun shining through bottles, TASKS and
carbOys of liquid, converting them for
the time being into burning glasses of
great power. have in mind now the
instance of a fire originating in a
storeroom from this cause.-New York

Papa" asked the little boy, "do you
remember the fist money you ever
earned?'
Yes" said papa. at was a nice,
new, shiny . cent piece that old Mr..
Gregg, the grocer, gave me for doing
about a quarters worth of work in car
rying load of potatoes into his cellar.
1 worked all Saturday afternoon to
earn that nickel, and when he paid me
1 ran three blocks home, tired as / was,
to show it."
and did you put it in your little
bank?' asked the little boy.
NO; l. got fathers permission to
spend it just as | pleased. However, |
kept it for three or four days, just to
have the satisfaction of having money
of my owned, earned by my own exer-
tons. And if l could have bought all
the things l thought Of buying with
that nickel / would have had about
$40 worth Of books, toys, marbles and
what not. Finally | made up my mind.
What do you think bought"
Il am sure | can't guess" said the
little boy. What did you buy, papaT'
II went to the bakery and bought a
custard pie
why, papa. And you said grandma
always had custard pie at home and
let you have a slice Of it as soon as you
got home from school,
Yes, l used to get a slice, but not a
whole pie, and she never let me eat it
the way l wanted to. So I went 20 the
bakery and bought my pie and borrow
ed E spoon from the baker and ate all
the custard and left the crust. / never
had anything taste 50 good in all my
life"
you never allow me to eat custard
pie that way, papa" said the little boy.
