Red the Popular Color.

1t has been many years since red has
been such a fashionable color as this
season. 1t is used in gowns for the
street and for the house, in trimmings,
in wraps and in hats, and there are a
number of different shades, fortunately
most of them becoming and all of
them lacking the crude effect that red
generally possesses. There are very
smart long coats made of bright red
smooth cloth.
The red hats are extremely attract
i've, made of CLOTH velvet taffeta, felt
and tulle. The very smartest of all are
the velvet, almost entirely covered
with velvet flowers of same shade or a
little darker shade, put close together
so that none of the velvet is seen except
in the center of the crown. A large
picture hat in red tulle has quite a
wide brim Of velvet that is covered by
a long ostrich plume of exactly the
same shade.

Thought He Grasped the Idea.

In the fifth grade of grammar
school not many miles from the
statehouse the following story was
read by the teacher and the class told
to write it from memory: "A farmer
planted a field of corn and placed a net
over it as a protection from the birds.
Next morning he found a number of
cranes and a stork caught in the net.
The stork begged the farmer to re-
lease him, saying, 4 am a bird of eX-
cellent character The farmer laughed
and said, You were caught in the com.
pany of these robbers, and with them
you must die"
Great stress was laid upon the word
character" the teacher explaining
that a boy, girl or bird found in bad
company showed great lack of char
acter. The following is a copy of one
of the papers actually produced and
handed in by one of the pupils, boy
of IL:
IA farmer went out in the farm one
day and he saw character and between
them was stork.
HE caught the stork and the char
acter. The stork begged the farmer
to set him free. But the farmer said
you were in there company and you
must die with them.
1.-THE stork said he was not like char
acter. | am bird of freedom" boston

CITY NOTES.

Blue trading stamps given with every
purchase and also all up-to-date work
at Foss' jewelry store.
Peter Anderson, an employee of the
Yawkey Lumber Company was brought
d wn to the Riverside Hospital Friday
evening. He fell from a 80 foot tram
way at the mill at Hazelhurst and sus-
tanned broken arm, broken ribs,
and an injury to his spine.
A new city directory is being gotten
out by A. e. Wright, of Milwaukee
Mr.. Wright has gotten out seven or
eight directories for the city, some of
which were quite accurate and some
quite the contrary. A directory is no
good on earth unless it is reasonably
complete.
A. l.. Kryshak has vacated the Jones
building on Third street and has shipped
his goods to Stevens Point where they
will be placed in the store of his brother,
Joe, The store is now being arranged
for the receiving of the goods of VIM
Neuling, who shortly will open dry
goods store in the same.
Stevens Point Gazette-A private let
ter received from a former Stevens
Pointer now living at Wausau, contains
the pleasing information that DIR. F. A.
Walters has a good practice in the lat
ter city and surrounding country and
is already recognized as an exception
ally able physician and surgeon DR..
and Mrs. Walters are also well thought
of socially by the best people of Wausau.
Sheriff Marquardt took w. W. Van
Order, of MoSinee, on Saturday to the
State Hospital Mr.. Van Order is one
of the well known and highly respect
ed men of our county. Three years
ago he was quite badly injured by hav.
ing log roll on him, and since that
time he has not been himself. Last Fri
day he was examined by DrS. Daniels,
Rosenberg and it was thought best to
have Mr.. Van Order placed in the State
Hospital at Oshkosh, where he could
nave proper treatment. 1t Is hoped
that he will soon be in good health
again.
\ woman who Swindles women has
of late been operating successfully in
neighboring places. She is young, of
pleasing appearance and smooth
talker. Fancy work is her stock in
trade, and upon reaching a town the
Swindler ascertains the women who
are inclined that way. Then she
promises to organize classes in two
branches, the entrance fee in one be-
ing s. and the other s. Two or three
days later, the swindler explains, in
structors will follow in her path, pro-
viding the materials and giving the
lessons. Money must be paid TO her

ally spends aboSt day in q town and
then vanishes for ne4&s anew. The

the SPIDERS IN their webs were the only
living inmates. Some one had tried
that door, Some one had flung it wide
open as the brace was removed. Clark
and L laughed at each other, but we
both felt awed and mystified and bit
afraid
When the door had been secured
before, we returned to our game and
spoke in whispers and kept very quiet.
After half an hour we abandoned the
cards and sat listening. l think it was
half an hour after midnight and we
were both probably nodding in sleep
when both doors were suddenly burst
open, with a crash. our candles were
blown out by what seemed a strong
wind, and next instant l was seized,
lifted off my feet and carried to the
broken window Of the office and flung
out. While yet lay on the ground
Clark followed me, and we heard a
queer sort of chuckling from the win
dow above. We both scrambled up
and ran for our lives and in time reach
ed the city. Neither of us was much
hurt, but we had received a great
fright. What had attacked us we could
not say; but. whatever it was, it had
the strength of three average men.
We went at once to the police, but
even as we told our story we saw a
red glare on the sky and knew that
1.-THE Devils Inn" was on fire. Next
day, as we visited the place with
strong detachment of police, we found
nothing but the walls standing. The
unknown something that had flung US
out had fired the place by accident or
design, and the smoke stained adobe
walls are yet there for you to see and
wonder over

Not Too Far Away.

Robert Barr relates that once. speak
ing with Bret Harte. he upheld the
rigid life Henry Thoreau had led at
Walden Pond. as compared with the
luxurious surroundings of many mod
ern authors. Barr advocated a return
to the simpler habits of our ancestors.
"Yes," Harte replied. living on parch-
ed peas sounds very fine in a book

ished to find how close Walden Pond
was to the Emerson homestead, and l
commented on this. l had imagined
that the pond was away out in the
wilderness, miles from any human hab-
itation.

Emerson spoke up in the tone of a
woman exposing a humbug. oh, yes,
Henry took good care not to get out of
hearing Of our dinner horn! "-Argo-

In England is that of Raby Castle, the
seat of the Duke of Cleveland. 1t is 30

KEEPING PROMISES.
Wausau Appreciates Always When
Promises are Kept.

Every time you read about Doan's
Kidney Pills, you are told they cure
every form of kidney i'll, from backache
to urinary disorders. How are our
promises kept? Ask any citizen who
has tried the treatment Ask the
woman who makes the following state
ment:
Mrs James Morrill, of IL South LIST
Ave, says: Several years ago 1 had a
severe attack of rheumatism and after
that my kidneys troubled me greatly.
Severe spells of backache and | might
say | was seldom free from it. 1t was
almost impossible to do anything re-
curing me to bend; too frequent action
of the kidney secretions annoyed me
especially at night and in the morning
/ felt as tired as when / went to bed.
Procuring Doans Kidney Pills at
Albers' drug store | took them and they
gave me complete relief They are the
best remedy / ever used and | am glad
to recommend them to others. Mr.
Morrill, also used them with beneficial
results. In my case their good effects
were lasting"

There is an effort now being made to
lengthen the time spent by each Wis
consin regiment at Camp Macarthur
hereafter from seven days, which is the
present limit, to ten. This extension, it
is believed, will give the boys a better
opportunity to observe post duty and
field work. 1t will also give the officers
better chance to bring their regiments
up to higher standard. An effort is
also being made to supply each COM
pany with Kraag-Jorgensen rifles,
brown canvas uniforms, rubber blank
cts and shoes of the service pattern.
These plans brought into effect will
have tendency to make great change
in the efficiency of each company and
will place the regiments nearly on
regular army basis.

A GARDEN IN TUSCANY.

The white magnolia opens with the day
To look upon wonder world of bloom,
As il the rainbow met its earthly doom
Beside its namesake iris and must lay
Imprisoned bars of fame and blossom gay
Half hid beneath the olives mournful gloom
The lick branches weave shadow loom
Across the marbles, where the fountains spray
Drips slow, like cool and unsung melodies,
And through the grass the little lizards glide,
Dazed with the drowsy fragrance of the trees.
And love and life lie sleeping side by side
For where still Eros lures the honey bees
A dark young lad dreams through the hot noon
tide.

Winter coats and costumes are occu-
plying much of our time and attention
these days. Long coats and short bo-
leros are equally popular. The main
idea is to produce a slim, stylish effect,
whether with short jacket or loose,
hanging raglan. and it Is hard to de-
eide which is the more stylish.A The
bolerO, though short, is made warm
with padded lining, perhaps, and collar
and revers of fur. Such jackets are
very stylish for the matinee or any
sort of afternoon wear. The long rag
Ian of cloth. or the empire coat Of silk,
velvet or fur may be properly worn
az various times of day. Long cloth
coats are handsomely trimmed with
velvet or silk in applique design or
stitched bands. One black coat has a
wide empire belt of black panne.
Around the bottom of the coat runs an
applique design of panne in vine pat
tern. Cuffs Of panne and a high collar
finish the coat.
While travelling in Cornwall in 1891
Rev. S. Baring-Gould came near being
overwhelmed in bog. He and his COM

themselves in a bog called Redmire.
Six bullocks had already been lost
there that year. Mr.. Barring Gould's adj
venture is related in his Book of the

and was being sucked farther down. 1
cried to my companion, but in the dark
ness he could not see me. and had he
seen me he could have done nothing
for me. The water finally reached my
armpits.
Happily l had a stout bamboo some
six feet long. and placed this athwart
the surface and held it with my arms
as far expanded as possible. By jerks
succeeded in gradually lifting myself
and throwing my body forward till
finally l was able to cast myself at full
length on the surface. The suction had
been so great as TO tear ny leather
CATERS off my legs.
Il lay at full length gasping for near

breath and strength to advance. and
then wormed myself along on my
breast till reached dry land. Ny COM
