Geographic News of Happenings Of the
Past Few Days in the Great State
of Wisconsin. -

Milwaukee, Dec Fra
zier & Co. of Chicago triumphed over
the Milwaukee grain firm of L. Bart
lett & Son on a decision which the
board of arbitration Of the chamber of
commerce has just rendered. Several
weeks ago Walter Brown, telephone
boy in the employ of Bartlett-Frazier
& Co., made lumber Of trades on
his own account which he charged to
the firm giving lin employment. His
favorite method of operation was to
sell puts and calls to members of the
exchange and pocket the privilege
money. He was doing a thriving bus
mess until the recent rise in wheat one
day made him about $4,000 poorer than
he had expected to be, and he disap-
peared.
When Bartlett & Son called on Bart
lett-Frazier & CO. to honor the trades
which their employe made the local
representative Of the firm declined to
settle. Consequently the case was
brought before the board of arbitra-
ton of the chamber Of commerce for
trial. The case will be carried up to
the board of appeals, the highest tci-
NInal on Change.

How tie hmist1etoe Comes to Be.

How tie SMistletoe Comes to Be.
The stow Of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees is a most interesting one.
Covering the mistetoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come in the win
ter season, when food is comparatively
scarce, and hence some of our birds
eat them freely. Now, when a robin
eats a cherry he swallows simply the
meat and f1ips the stone away. The
seed of the mistletoe the bird cannot
flip. 1t is sticky and holds to his bill.
His only resource is to wipe it off, and
he does so, leaving it sticking to the
branches of the tree on which he is
sitting at the time.
This seed sprouts after a time, and,
not finding earth-which, indeed it's
ancestral habit has made it cease want
ing-it sinks it's roots into the bark of
the tree and hunts there for the pipes
that carry the sap. Now, the sap in
the bark is the very richest in the tree,
far richer than that in the wood, and
the mistletOe gets from it's host the
choicest of food. With strange fore
sight it does not throw it's leaves away,
as do most parasites, but keeps them
to use in winter, when the tree is leaf
less. = Professor S.. G.. Schmucker in
Ladies' Home Journal.

The Cooks Cannonade.

The first thing that strikes a lands
man on a man-of-war is the rigid
discipline observed everywhere. On
some of the ships belonging to the
tropical countries, however, discipline
lie very lax.
The Defense, Haitian man-of-war.
was lying in the harbor of Port au
Prince. One day a mess cook for
some reason cleaned about a peck of
knives and forks on the gun deck, and,
being suddenly called away and not
wishing to spend time to go to the
galley, he seized the mess pot full of
knives and forks and stuck it in the
muzzle of the ten inch gun, putting the
hampton in after it.
About an hour afterward the admiral
came aboard. and as the gun was
loaded with blank cartridge they used
it to fire a salute.
1t happened that the gun was aimed
toward the town. and almost point
blank at the Grand hotel The guests
assembled on the porch to witness the
ceremonies, when they were saluted
with a rain of knives and forks,
which stuck against the wooden walls
like quilts on a porcupine.
Fortunately no one was hurt, al
though there were many narrow es-
canes

We Have Many Friends Here in Town
Who Are Subject to Such Trouble.

Colds if neglected lead to serious and
often fatal consequences.
Do not go on living with the continual
dread of catching cold. There is no need
of it. People who take cold easily do SO
because their system is in just the con-
dition to contract them.
We know of something that will
quickly drive colds out of the system by
invigorating the entire body. 1t is VI
MOL, the great tonic reconstruction, that
contains all the active curative principles
found in cod liver oil.
Here is one letter that we nave had
presented to us that we would like our
friends to read:

cold for number of weeks, and having
