The world is beginning to realise the
true value of northern Wisconsin, and
to see that instead of sandy desert
from which all the value departed
when the pine was cut, it's in reality
great agricultural country. Grad

lands, and settlers who have learned
the value of that deep, eyentempered
soil, have made this known. Now
others are learning this Snd are com-
ing to US with their iaI4ished stock
from the West, where their is neither
food nor drink for them, while up
here the grass is long, sweet and
nutritious. the water cool and refresh

is shown by the sales made recently
to western stock men, no were offer
ed lands and refused to buy them at
three times the price. These men
come from the afflicted sections of the
West and will locate in the state.
Nothern Wisconsin is blessed with an
equable climate, 1t gets very cold
but is not the penetrating kind. 1t
gets very warm but the warmth does
not kill. The soil is deep, decompos-
ed, silicious loan, and hay and grass
and clover grow abundantly.

A merchant in a neighboring
town was kicking about peddlers be-

asked the editor to go ahead and roast
them and the city dads for allowing
it. To please the merchant the editor
said he would. After racking his
brain for some time to find words
strong enough to fit the case he
finally produced the following: Ped

take notice that you are roasted.

The DAISY CHAIN.

Margaret went out into the woods
for stroll. She found some daisies.
She picked her apron full and wove
them into a chain. She then started
for home, and when she got home,
there she found her papa asleep in an
arm chair on the porch, and Margaret
said, ''Poor papa, how sleepy he is, -
and then she took his hat off carefully
and wound the daisy chain around it.,
and put it back on his head again.
Then her papa awoke. He remembered
that he was to meet some men and he
hurried to his office. When he went
into the office, the men began to
laugh. He took off his hat and found
the daisy chain and he laughed too.
Then he gave each man a daisy and
that made every one happy that hot
afternoon.

HORRIBLE TRADE IN JAPAN.
Woman Trafiics In Hcads of the Dead
for Medicinal Purposes.

The japanese Government for many
years has been trying to stamp out
most barbaric custom among Its sub
jects of the lower classes, handed down
for centuries-that of using the heads
of dead bodies for medicinal purposes,
says the San Francisco Bulletin. n few
days before the steamship Coptic sailed
from Yokohama family was arrested
for carrying on the grewsome trade.
The heads were either charred over a
fire and thus sold, or ground into pow.
der. The powder thus obtained Is sold
under the disguised names Of Tenseki,
Tengal or Henjirishi, according to Its
form. 1t Is formally announced that
these heads are the charrcd heads of
stays and no one but the druggist or
his chief assistant Is supposed to know
the real facts.
The police have now succeeded, how.
ever, In tracing the persons who pro.
cure these heads, and the wife of man
named Hanamoto Kakichi, residing ut
Nipponbashisuji. Higashi, Osaka, and
her eldest son were arrested on Feb. ~
as the result of search OF their house.
The man had been suffering from lep-
rosy for three years. 4 human head,
quite intact, was found In the dwell.
ing. This one had already been charred
but two more were discovered buried
In the ground. being seemingly too old
for disposal. Besides the heads. a con
siderable number Of snakes, some
mea surfing over five feet In length, wer.
found In tubs. and also number OF
tortoise and hundreds of live bullfrogs
These were also for charrlng and sell
ing as medicine.
The woman, upon examination, n,
first stated that she found the head II
n pond near Sakal. Upon being taker
to the pond, however, she confessed
that she got the head from cemetery
ut Suminoyemura, Nishinari-gun, Osa
ka. From her statement 1t appears sh,
was In the habit of going to the GENE
terry TO catch snakes, of which q grea,
number abound there. and thus mad,
the acquaintance of the Waterman
Together they devised plan for Sc
curing the heads OF people buried in
the cemetery. This outrage, II appears
has been going on for years, but has
only now come to light.

Fortune,a Bottled Beer.

The Fortune Brewing Company has
added to Its large plant . magnificent
bottling establishment. The new works
adjoin the brewery on Van Buren,
street, west Of Desplaines, and are 1T
ted up with the latest and most i'm
proved machinery. Their capacity is very
great, and the quality Of the goods turn
ed out Of the very best. One Of the
features Of the plant Is the arrange.
ment for cooling the beer. Not only
has the latest cooling machinery been
introduced, but the building In which
the bottling IL done Is adjoined by an
other building In which freezing ap
paratus Is placed. This keeps the tenn
perature Of the very walls at freezing
point all the time. The Fortune Brew
cry produces a beer which is famous
the world over. Now that Its bottlinl

settled down over the building am
nothing but the lower lights could be
seen a-burning" They followed the
other travellers into the house, were
eivcn rooms and went to them. Later,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. one OF
the women appeared On the stairway

said:
