A maiden fair with kissed
hair, came tripping down the street;
her face serene, her age 16- gee whiz
butshe was sweet. On the sidewalk
slick, she came down quick, with a

words she used must be excused for
she was one of our incest girls.
Congressman Webster E. Brown
who is visiting here this week, re-
ceived CHASTITY package through
the mail at Washington, D. c., re-
Gently. It was the hand of a man
that had been amputated, and the
owner of the disconnected member,
who resides in the congressmans
district, had preserved it for a num-
Der of years in alcohol. He now
seeks an increase in pension on &C
count of military service and claims
the hand was taken off as a result
of injuries sustained while in the
service. To bear upon these asser
tions he sent the hand to the con-
gresham that it might be turned
over to the medical examiners as
evidence The latter ruled out the
matter as they collect all data and
pension matters from the field.
The thanks of the Herald editor
is extended Supt Geo. McKerrow
for a bound copy Of Wisconsin

The sixteenth annual bulletin is a
report of the annual closing institute

Sixty thousand copies of this book
have been issued which will be dis
tributed free at the 101 Institutes
held over the state this winter In
addition to this, a limited number are
sent to cheese-factories and creamery
men. who live in the localities not
reached by Institutes, for distribu-
ton among their patrons and neigh
bors. They are mailed to points
outside the state upon receipt of %
cents for paper covers and 40 cents
for cloth bound copies; to Wisconsin
farmers they are sent for 10 cents in
paper and 25 cents in cloth.
Distributing them in this way the
department hopes re bulletin will
find it's way into the homes OF the
reading farmers of the country and
that in our state it may be carefully
read, educating farmers to better
and more improved methods OF agrl-
culture, and in this way greatly aug
ment the good work done by our in
