Sharp sentineIs ON Deck.

A wise man will take the weapon at
his hand even if it is not the conven-
tional one. So thought Captain Slo-
cum, who, on his sloop, the Spray,
made voyage alone around the world
and met many good friends and singu-
lar enemies This is his description of
one comic happening which might have
ended in tragedy. He says:
discovered, as she sailed along
through labyrinth of islands, that she
was in the Cockburn channel, which
leads into the strait of Magellan at n
point opposite Cape Froward, and that
she was passing Thieves bay, sug-
gestively named. That night she lay
at anchor in a snug cove at the Turn.
1 now became jaded and worn from
my previous battling with danger and
rough weather, and as drowsiness
came on 1 sprinkled the deck with
tacks, for it is well known that one
cannot step on q tack without saying
something about it. A pretty good
Christian will whistle when he meets
the commercial end of carpet tack;
savage will howl and claw the air.
That was just what happened that
night at II o'clock when the savages
thought they had me, sloop and all,
until they stepped on deck. Then they
learned that 1 had them.
They howled like a pack of hounds
and jumped pellmell, some into their
canoes, others into the sea to cool off.
fired several guns when 1 came on
deck to let the rascals know that 1
was at home, and then 1 turned in
again, feeling sure 1 should not be dis
turbed by people who left in SO great
a hurry.
The Fuegians, being cruel, are natu-
rally towards and regard a rifle with
SUP 1rstitious fear. The only danger
from their quarter would be in allow
ing them to surround one within bow
shot or to anchor within range, where
they might lie in ambush.

the nlgnr- They came up the granu
avenue slowly, like a funeral. You
couldn't hear a word-not a groan-
these poor fellows were so tagged out,
so crushed down. There were some
who were asleep as they walked, and
the thought they We're going to die
couldn't wake them up. They made
them file into the lower end Of the
cemetery, and then the volleys began.
There were 147 of them. Do you sup
pose that took long? That was what
was called the battle of Pere-la- Chaise.
Here my old fellow, seeing his SER
geant, left me abruptly, and I stood
alone looking at his sentry box, with
the names of that last pay day written
on it, by the light OF blazing Paris.
called up that night in May, streaked
with shells-nO, with blood and fame,
the great lonesome cemetery as bright
~ lighted up as city on holiday; the
guns abandoned in the middle of the
crossways; all around, the open vaults,
the orgies in the tombs, and near, mid
this crowd of domes, of columns, of
stone statues which the leaping flames
made look alive, with his broad fore
head and great eyes, the bust of Balzac
looked on.-Exchange.

LONG LIFE ENDED.

Wednesday morning at 7:45 oc-
Cured the death of John S. Curtis,
the aged father of George NJ. and
Charles F. Curtis of this city, at the
advanced age of SO years. The de-
ceased was one of the well-knOWn
men of the city. He came to Gin
ton in 1868 to be with his sons, to
whom he was much devoted, and to
the end of his life was a fOrceful
man, ever identified with everything
that is for the good of the city and
it's people. In earlier life, in fact till
he was past middle age, he was a sue
cessful farmer. He moved among the
people in his quiet way, but his ply
steal and mental strength, his strong
personality and high principles, made
him respected and a natural leader
among men. Strictintegrity and love
of justice, coupled with an honorable
and upright life, were his character
istics. For more than sixty years he
was IL consistent member of the Bap-
fist church.
The life of Mr.. Curtis has not been
IN eventful one, because he preferred
the quiet of his home to the excite
ments of more public career. Yet
he met every duty and shirked no re-
spOnsibility. His long married life,
almost sixty years, was one of con-
tentment and happiness. He eX-
tracted the joys of life and found the
most comfort in the company of his
family and his greatest satisfaction
was in the success of his children
His devoted wife passed away De-
cember 80, 1899, little over a year
ago.
Mr.. Curtis was born May 80. 1918,
at Oxford, Chenango county, New
York. In March, 1910, he married
Elizabeth NJ. Carpenter and to them
were born ten children. OF them the
survivors are the two sons in this
city and Cornelius S. Curtis of. Wau
sau, Wisconsin.
In 1856 Mr. Curtis removed with his
family to Rochelle, ILL.,, and in 1868
located in Clinton, where his sons
were engaged in business. An acct
dent happened to him in 1881 when he
was struck and severely injured by
an engine at the Fourth street cross
ing. For some time his life was de-
SPARED of. but his strong constitu-
ton prevailed and he recovered, so
that while the effects of the injury
we're always felt, he was fully re-
stored to health.-Clinton Uowa)
Herald.
Deceased was known to Many in
| Wausau and was the father of &. s.
Curtis of this city.

IT Will Be J. W. Miller.

There is considerable interest mani
tested as to who will succeed E. I.
Wheelock as Register of the Wausau U.
S. Land Office. 1t was thought that j.
W. Miller was the only one after the
position in Wausau, but it appears that
there are others, also that there are a
few in the district who think that Wau-
sau residents are not the only ones who
should be considered, as it will appear
from the following which is taken from
the Sunday Milwaukee Sentinel:
Senators Spooner and Quarles have
under consideration The recommends
ton of candidate to fill the vacancy
in the office of register of the land
office at Wausau, caused by the resigna-
ton of Edgar T. Wheelock. There are
a number of candidates for the appoint
ment and no decision has been reached
as to who shall be selected. Various
sections of the land district embraced
within the jurisdiction of the Office have
candidates for the nomination, includ-
ing j. w. Miller, r. H. johnson and A
p. Bailey of Wausau, j. II. Waggoner
of Oconto, former editor of The Re-
porter of that city, and L. j. Billings of
Rhinelander. The indications are that
John w. Miller of Wausau will get the
place. Mr.. Miller is strongly endorsed
by the republicans of Wausau, where
he has held various public positions.
The compensation of the register is
about 81 800 year"
Information has been received in
Wausau that Senators SpoOner and
Quarles and Congressman Stewart have
decided to name j. w. Miller. Mr..
Miller has devoted fully thirty years of
his life to land matters and for many
years has had charge of the land de-
partment of the Wausau Law and Land
Association, and is in every way fitted
to fill the position. The PILOT is only
slightly acquainted with the gentlemen
mentioned for the position outside OF
Wausau, but anyone of those named by
the Sentinel, of Wausau, who are being
considered, would make an excellent
and capable official.

SALOON CLOSING

Last week, Monday evening, Mayor
tldPrson gave out that all saloons must
be closed at II 80 o'clock, as per the city
ordinances. Chief Anderson saw to it
that the law was enforced. 1t was soon
earned that the law was not drawn up
n such shape as to treat all alike, as sa-
looms in connection with hotels, accord
ing to its provisions, could not be closed,
hence hotel-keepers took advantage of
the same to keep open as usual, all
night. 1t must be very discouraging to
Il mayor and his chief of police to run
lp against laws of this kind on our
books, which prevents the will of the
people being carried out. If Wau-
sau is ever going to have any
reputation for decency it must first
have laws passed by its city coun-
ell that can be enforced. Mayor
Anderson is to be congratulated on his
efforts to suppress vicein all of its forms,
and since starting in several weeks ago,
he has kept religiously at it, but finds
the laws in such shape in some cases, as
to be imperative. Half past eleven
o'clock is late enough for saloons to be
open, and, as good citizens, all should
close up at that hour The old law was
repealed last night, now another should
be drawn up that will cover the ground
entirely, and be presented at the next
meeting of the city council.

At the moment when fortune is with
in his grasp he thrusts aside his oppor-
tunities to save girl from a false
charge of theft The play departs
entirely from the conventional lines of
comedy and as the original production
is to be given its presentation here will
be awaited with a great deal of interest.
With Mr. keenan, this season a COM
plete production of "a Poor Relation"
is being carried, comprising new and
special scenery, properties, models,
rugs, etc. Mr.. Berger, in his deter
mination to give better performance
of "A Poor Relation" than ever before,
has most carefully selected his COM
pany and has sent Mr.. Keenan, out
supported by stronger cast than has
ever appeared in this famous comedy.

The general belief is that young
man does not become twenty-one years
years of age and voter until the first
day of his twenty first year, or in other
words his twenty-frst birthday This,
however is not the law for it is well
settled in the United States that he is
twenty-one years of age the day before.
His twenty-first birthday is the first day
of his twenty-second year; the day be-
fore is the last day of his twenty-first
year, and, as the law takes no notice of
fractions of a day he is held by the
courts to be twenty-one years old on
the first moment of that day, as his
twenty-first year is then completed.

A POOR RELATION.

Frank keenan,, the new star who has
succeeded Sol Smith Russell in the Ed
ward E Kidder comedy, ga Poor Re-
lation," has come before the theatre
going public with startling rapidity and
has apparently come to stay. Mr..
keenan,, who will be seen in the role of
Noah Vale at the Grand Opera House
this Tuesday evening, was a few years
ago comparatively unknown to the
great mass of theatre patrons. The
theatrical managers of New York rated
him as one of the cleverest and most
versatile leading men in the profession,
but it was not until Mr.. Fred &. Berger,
manager for Sol Smith Russell, saw in
the young player worthy successor to
Mr.. Russell that Mr.. keenan, became
a recognized star with clientele of his
own. Mr. Russelrs tours have been
reduced until he now spends only few
weeks on the road each year, but his
place has been taken with good success
everywhere by Mr. keenan,. He is said
to give perfect portrayal of the starving
inventor who lives in a garnet and cares
for two little children while he is wait
ing for his genius to be recognized.

Notes From Madison.

The primary election bill is now occu-
plying the minds of our legislators. I'm
less there is great change in the bill
there is but little chance of its becom,
ing law Its friends and supporters
are making great efforts to pass the
bill, flooding the state with supple
ments given out free of charge to every
LaFollette Supporter.
The session is bound to be long one
as compared with former sessions, the
usual length having been 100 days.
The Wisconsin Press Association held
its annual winter meeting in Madison
last week. The session lasted three
days. 1t ended up with reception
given by Gov. and Mrs. LaFollette at
the executive mansion. Officers were
elected for the ensuing year, as follows:
Presidential. L. Luckow.
OCCI J-OoCdl llOCSSICl
Treasurer-Mrs. Flora Ginty.
A bill to regulate dancing, proposed
first in a spirit of jest, is now becoming
quite serious matter. Dancing teach
ers, are anxious to have the bill passed,
as it protests teachers as we'll as the
public. As it is now anyone can set
themselves up as teachers and if dis
honest can collect money in advance
and skip out, as is very often the case.
What is known as the Harvey educa-
tional bill is receiving a good deal of
cussing from many sources. If it
should pass it is said that three-fourths
of those now teaching would be dis
qualified.
There has been a bill introduced
which is of much interest to our for
eign-born population. 1t provides that
no person shall be eligible for election
to any state or municipal office unless
he is a full citizen of the United States.
The law now is that the qualifications
of an elector are sufficient for office
holding in most cases.

When brought down TO a logical con-
cluSiOn isn't there considerable hum
bug, or inconsistency at least, in some
of the organizations we have in the StateY
For instance, we have the State Forestry
association whose object is TO encourage
tree planting and preserve the forest.
Then we have the State immigration
board, whose efficiency is guaged by the
number of people it can induce to come
TO Wisconsin and cut down its forests.
During the recent campaign the Jour
nal, in common with large number of

provinglyextractS from speech of Ste
phen A. Douglas in favor of expansion
In that address Mr.. Douglas compared
the the human family to hive of bees.
When the bees swarm the youngsters
must have some place to go. 1t is so
with the human family, when young
men and women grow up they can not
always remain under the home roof but
must seek new homes for themselves.
If this is true of the nation, why not of
Wisconsin, Why tax ourselves to in
duce men to come from over the sea TO
occupy these lands, which in a few years
will, in the natural course of human
events, be needed by our children or
our children's ehildreng At the risk of
being set down as as ga old fogy, or as

allow them to be occupied and de-
veloped in the ordinary eoaEse of
