Your blue beads? Oh, Daisy, really?"
exclaimed Rosie, but still she looked
doubtful.
Yes, my blue beads. for your very
own. Now, listen. You know 10 wants
to marry Emily, everybody knows it,
and we are all willing that he should,
but he is So bashful that he don't dare
ask her. Now, if you help him out he
will be fonder of you than ever"
Il think she would say yes if he ask

'Of course ! do; but she can't if he

During the next day or two Rosie's
wise little head did a great deal Of

more it seemed to her that Daisy was
right. Jo must love Emily or he would
not come to see her so often. He never
went to see any other girl. People GER

because she told her nothing. Then she
did so want the beads. Not even Carrie
Wells that all the girls at school made
so much fuss over, We're as pretty as
they. SO she questioned Daisy once more,
and Daisy reiterated her assurances,
saying:
THE next time 10 and Emily are by
themselves, and do calls you his little
sweetheart. all you have to do is to tell
him that you had rather be his little
sister, and ask him if he isn't going to

he does. you know, How can he mind

In the days following the baby's birth

herself in the preparation of jellies and
broths for the invalid.

hood the baby's advent is practically
3 painless, there is abundant strength to
nurse and nourisl, the child, and rapid
recovery from the shock and strain in
separable from maternity.
"1 was pleased that Dr. Pierce answered nv

Regent Street lee Park, Wilkesbarre, Penua.

Fortune favored her. The next Suii-
day was a bright September day, and
Joe and Emily had the parlor to them
selves. Daisy had discreetly gone for
walk. and the rest of the family were
sitting out on the porch. Rosie went to
the door Of the parlor and peeped in.
They sat, Emily and 10, one on one
side Of the table, one on the other as
they had so often, talking quietly as
usual.
Come here, Rosie" called 10.
Rosie went in and took her stand be-
side his knee. He drew her to him
and stroked her curs. You're my lit

Having taken the plunge with Rosie's
aid, JOS bashfuness vanished, and when
Mr.. and Mrs. Mason came in a little la
ter they found Emily and her accepted
lover waiting to receive their consent
and blessing.
Rosie wore the blue beads to school on
Monday. There was but one drawback
to her happiness: everyone made so
much of her, and her honest little soul
shrank from accepting the credit which
belonged rightly to another.

Historical VickSburg.

On the last page of the supplement
that accompanies this issue of The Re-
porter we give our readers description
of Vicksburg and the part she played in
the memorable drama of 1851 to 1865. 1t
is here where General Grant achieved
his greatest success as war hero and it
is here where the government now pro-
poses to establish four grand national
military parks; not, as the article states,
in honor of victory or defeat, but to
commemorate a crucial epoch in the his
tory of the Republic and the fortitude
and heroism of her soldiers on both sides.
The Wisconsin Commission has lately
returned from visit to this historical
ground, where it located the monuments
which the state will erect to commemo-
rate the engagements of Wisconsin
troops. The article was taken from the
columns of the Vicksburg American, and
was published in that paper at the time
of the Wisconsin Press Associations
visit to that city few weeks ago.

Death of Lena Clark

At the home of her mother, Mrs. S. A.
Phillips in this city Monday evening,
Dec. 9th, Miss Lena Clark passed into
eternal rest after many weary months of
suffering. She had been in failing health
for some time developing into consump-
ton from which no relief could be OBJ
tanned. The deceased was born in
Leonardsville, N. Y, twenty-three years
ago. After coming to Edgerton she
gathered about her a large circle of
friends who now mourn with grief
stricken mother and brother the loss of
bright loveable girl.
The remains were taken by train on
Wednesday morning, accompanied by
her mother, to Unadilla Forks, N. Y. for
burial besides those of her father.

Geo. Underhill is riding in the north
ern growing section this week.
J. M. Thayer, S. B. Heddles and John
Soulman of GAINESVILLE were callers in
this market Monday.
Andrew Norman of Stoughton, and
Frank Colman of Madison were in this
market for short time Thursday
Sherman Green, who has been here
for several weeks past sampling the
packing of J. Bunzl's Sons left for New
York and his home in Connecticut on
Wednesday.
Mr.. Max Bamberger and J. Sondheim
of the firm of L. Bamberger & Co.. Phil
adelphia, were in this market few days
of the week consulting with 7. B. Earle,
the local representative, on business
matters. They left for home on Thurs
day.
VIM. S. Brill arrived from New York
Wednesday evening to arrange for an in
ventory of the stock held by Herbs,
Wertheim & Schiller in this state prior
to the consolidation of the firm on Jan.
1st with the Hirschhorn & Mack Co.
Mr.. Brill says his firm reached the 100
million mark of cigars made this year in
October last and will be unable to fill
the orders booked at that date by the
end of the year.
Henry Miller of Milwaukee was call
ing upon the leaf dealers in this market
on Saturday. On Jan. 1st Mr.. Miller
states that he will retire from the tobac-
co business after forty years continuous
service. For many years past he has
had charge of the Wisconsin business of
the New York firm of Cullman Bros.
with warehouses at Stoughton and Sun
Prairie, and has purchased largely of
nearly every crop grown in the state dur
ing that time. Mr.. Millers son and AL
Sehrode Of Stoughton will take charge
of the Cullman Wisconsin business in
the future.
Mr.. N. P. Strause of Madison, in
charge of the American Cigar Co.'s bust
ness in this state, was a visitor in this

are not at present making any organized
effort to increase our holdings. Our To-
cal buyers have instructions to secure
desirable lots where they find them in
their localities, but are not actively in
the field. The Vernon county district is
pretty we'll bought up, only scattering
lots remaining that are held at outside
figures. We shall not start up our ware
houses until we have enough tobacco
received to continue the season." Mr..
R. L. Henry of Richmond, Va, connect
ed with the leaf department of the
American Co., and Mr. Geo. E. Gary
also accompanied Mr.. Strause.
[ wish to correct the false impression
that has gotten abroad, to the effect that
the tobacco case of Wallin VS.. Herbs,
Wertheim & Schiller, w. S. Brill, agent,
ended in a compromise. The above
named firm made several attempts to
compromise the matter, but were finally
forced to pay the full amount of the crop
and costs. A. X. WALLIN.

Fishermen Discharged

Geo. Sherman and Henry E. Hanson
of MELVILLE, were before the Municipal
court in GAINESVILLE charged with illegal
fishing in Lake Koshkonong. The ar
rests had been made by Deputy Game
Warden Drafahl of Center, who went to
the lake to watch the fishermen who
have been making some rich hauls
through the ice. The deputy game
warden had charged the men with ille-
gal fishing, but neither were found with
any fish nor could it be proven they
owned any of the lines found on the
lake, though each had been seen look
ing at different lines as they walked
along the ice on Lake Koshkonong.
Sherman had his gun and ice chisel
with him but claimed that he was going
after geese though he followed along a
row of lines and tried the ice with his
chisel HE took no fish from the lines
and the deputy could not produce any
evidence that ne owned the fishing out
fit. Under the showing the court dis
charged both Sherman and Hanson.
The law says that it is unlawful for one
person to use more than five lines or
more than one hook on line. The let
tiers sent to the state warden stated that
the fishermen were using all the way
from fifteen to one hundred lines each
and asked that a warden be sent to the
lake to stop the violations.

ESCAPED FROM THE TRAIN.

An Insane Patient Eludes the Nurse in
Charge and Wanders about ALI Night.
Monday evening as the TIT train
reached this station lady stepped off
the cars, passed around the end of the
depot and out into the darkness. A mo-
ment later another woman stepped off
the cars, looked up and down the plat
form and then began to make excited
inquiries of the people there of the
whereabouts of the lady who preceded
her. The explanations that followed
gave the information that the first lady
seen to leave the train was an insane
patient, Miss Harnden of Madison, who
was being taken from the Palmyra SAM
tarium to her home, and the latter was
nurse accompanying her, a Miss Multi
gan of Palmyra. Just before the train
reached the station the patient said she
wanted a drink and went forward in the
car and as soon as the train came to a
halt she quickly slipped out the door
and out of sight in the darkness.
Marshal Reynolds and several vol
teers soon inaugurated search about
town for the missing woman, but no
trace of her could be found. She had
left the train without wraps and it was
feared that some harm might come to
her from exposure. The nurse in charge
wired the physicians at Palmyra and the
Madison relatives of the lady what had
happened and DR.. Wilkinson came Oh
the $3.50 train to join in the search. A
sister of the unfortunate lady, Mrs.
Main of Madison, also arrived on the 4
o'clock train. The town was patroled all
night but no trace of the missing woman
was obtained. Early the next morning
teams were sent out on each road lead
ing from town and systematic effort
made to locate her. When DR.. Wilkin-
son, who took the north road came to
the home of John Harris mile from
town, he found his missing patient there
having arrived but a few moments be-
fore. She was thoroughly chilled by the
all night exposure and in nervous con-
dition. Later she told an apparently
rational story of how she passed the
night walking along highways and fields.
She said that every road she took seem
ed to bring her right back to Edgerton,
while she wanted to get as far away as
possible. That after becoming nearly
exhausted she lay down on pile9of
brush in the woods to rest for awhile.
1t developed that the woman came to
the house of Chas. Stricken on the New
vile road at 2 o'clock in the morning
and Mr.. Stricken tried hard to persuade
her to remain but could not, so she con-
tinued her wanderings until daylight
when she came to John Harris home,
nearly three miles away. Had the night
been cold one it is quite probable she
would have persisted from exposurein
her long travel.
The unfortunate patient is about 80
years of age and daughter of the late
Gen. Henry Harnden of Madison, so we
are informed, and it is to be hoped that
her experience here will not result in ag-
gravating her malady.
