Northern Wisconsin Development.

Northern Wisconsin Development.
That rapidly developing terri
tory when occupies the northern
halt OF Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardships
and v1cissitudes OF frontier lite.
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C
count, OF exorbltant land prices.
1t is in that stage OF partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, good roads
and other improvements are GO
ing IN. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari. kaolin and CLAW
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity to the
settler and the manufacturer.
Land is cheap and can be pur-
chased on easy terms.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the quick and
cheap transportation of it's pro-
ducts and as the line pene+ra+es

err1 territory, choice of location

The Festival of Hone.

Christmas Day is, above all other DAYS.
the festival of hope, wrote Dean Farrar.
on that blessed day the thoughts of mil
lions all over the habitable globe from
the huts of the Esquimaux to the kraaIs
of the Kaffirs. and from the torrid zone
down to the wigwams of the Patagonians
and the stormy Antarctic isles will turn
to Bethlehem and to the Christ child. On
Christmas day on the decks of sailing
vessels they will sing their Christmas
hymns; in the backwoods settlements of
America the eyes of exiles will fill with
tears as they deck the hearth and think
of home; in the crowded city alike and
lonely hamlet; from the glorious min
sters of Europe and in the coral churches
of the Seychelles, and where a few gath
er under the forest trees by the shore
all will be glad to think how to us is
born in the city of David a Saviour who
is Christ the Lord. And why? Because
even the dimmest and vaguest concep-
ton of Christmas will show that this
commentaries an infinitude of love and
inflnitude of hope. What is the very in
most meaning and lesson of our Christ
ian faith? 1t has meanings so many and
so precious that it may be hard to fix on
one, but assuredly it has this meaning.
around which all others centre-tlIat man
is not worthless atom; that he is dear
to God; that there is an infinite value
and preciousness in this our mortal life

A DOUBLE RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Blanchard Serious
ly Injured.

A double runaway accident hap
pened about $50 o'clock Monday
night, with serious results. One
horse, owned by Liveryman c. S.
Stockwell and attached to a traverse
sleigh, was driven by Charles Wei
come. clerk for George E. Fox, and
the other was attached to a single
sleigh occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Blanchard of Esteyville. Mr.. Blanch-
ard had one shoulder broken and his
head cut so that stitches were taken
in dressing the wound, and Mrs.
Blanchard had one shoulder dislocat-
ed, one rib broken and one rib crack
ed. Their sleigh was demolished.
The other sleigh was not seriously
damaged and no one else was badly
hurt. Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Welcome had
been out distributing bill boards, had
unloaded the sleigh and were return
ing home, Mr. Fox walking. When the
team started down the hill by the FL
lot street iron bridge the horse began
to run. Mr.. and Mrs. Blanchard
were just ahead, going in the same
direction. The teams collided at the
east end of the bridge. The force
of the collision threw Mr.. Welcome
out and separated the front and rear
sleds of the Stockwell traverse, the
horse continuing to the stable. 1t
also turned the Blanchard sleigh cross
wise of the road and overturned it
after dragging it some distance. AS
Mr. and Mrs. Blanchard struck the
ground both were stepped on by the
Stockwell horse. Their own horse
with sleigh attached, ran the length
of Frost and Flat streets, up Main
street to Elliot street, thence to Green
street, across to High street and down
Main street again, collding with
Charles Springs coupe near the
Brooks House. The horse was freed
from the sleigh and continued to the
bank corner, where it was caught by
Chlef-ofPolice Hail. Mr.. and Mrs.
Blanchard were carried into the
house near the bridge, and later were
taken to their home in Esteyville.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL NEWS
ECHOES FROM NEW ORLEANS.

President tloton Presented with a
Gavel--Interview with Picayune
Reporter-Mosquitoes and Yellow
Fever.
The American Pubic Health asso.
ciation Dr.. IL. ID. EIolton of Brattle-
boro president closed an unusually
interesting and important session in
New Orleans Saturday. In attend
ance upon the convention were some
of the most noted scientists in the
United States, Canada and Mexico
The New Orleans newspapers, par
ticularly the Picayune, devoted col
umns of space each day to a report of
the convention. On the arrival of the
train from New England a reporter of
the Picayune interviewed President
Holton and wrote for his paper in
part as follows: "Dr. Holton is a fine
looking gentleman with gray beard
He is one of the oldest members Of
the Public Health association. To a
reporter of the Picayune he said that
the Association was 80 years old; it
was organized in New York and he
had been a member since 1875. The
great purpose of the organization is
sanitation to prevent disease, and to
make the sanitary condition of cities
and towns and states better, has been
the work so far The work of SAM
tation in the last ten years has add
ed six years to the average life of the
people, which is a very important re-
suit. and DR.. Holton assented to the
statement that if the rate could be
kept up long enough people might live
forever"
On Monday evening a reception was
given the visitors in the city in the
palm garden of the St Charles hotel.
In the list of names of those present,
the papers of New Orleans mentioned
President and Mrs. Holton, Miss
Susan Clark, Mrs. C. H. Thompson
( and Misses Catherine and Ellen Ware
of Brattleboro, Mrs Campbell of Bel
lows Falls, Rev. and Mrs. H. L. Ballou
of Chester, and others from other
parts of Vermont. On Tuesday
President Holton delivered the presi-
dents address, which was an exhaus-
tive paper, dealing with some of the
leading topics of sanitation. The
address was published in full by the
New Orleans newspapers.
An important yellow fever congress
was held Wednesday, w-4ch consid-
cred a subject of unusual interest in
that section of the country. 1t was
practically the unanimous conclusion
of the convention that yellow fever
is contracted solely from the mosquito
This theory is so firmly and universal
~ believed in Havana that no one has
the slightest fear of patients affected
by that disease, provided the patients
be protected from mosquitoes and the
mosquitoes from them.
At the session Thursday morning
DR.. Holton was presented a handsome
gavel made from orangewood and
ornamented with an engraved silver
band. DR.. Holton's successor as
president of the association is Surgeon
General Walter Wyman. Of the Unit
ed States Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service. The next meeting
will be held in the city of Washington

Slippers for Misses, Boys and Children

the rest of the crowd looked out for
developments. Lavelle was French
Canadian from the Northern lakes,
blood. He got angry and drew his
hunting knife. Dempsey, of Irish
race, relied on fist and foot. The
crowd wondered which would be the
corpse.
Outside, the wind moaned through
the pinewoods, bearing along the cry
of wolves on the trail of unsuspecting
prey No one needed it inside. The
men were gently wondering whether
Dempsey would kick Lavelle's head
in or Lavelle would dissect Dempsey.
But the wolf bowls grew louder as the
opening. Dan Macdonald hazarded
the remark that the wolves were close.
There was a shout behind him.
For Gods sake, look!" and the
startled men looked at the small win
dow beside the door. "a banshee,
by the Blessed Mother!" shrieked
Dempsey, throwing down his hands.
Lavelle gave one glance at the win
dow, and the murderous knife fell
from his strong right hand, and he
fell on his knees. That fight was
over.
She came in. shaking the snow
flakes from her hair as Lavelle kicked
his knife under a bunk. The wolves
had chased her. She hardly knew
that they had. Poor old Nine. Tur-
cotte's son had been killed on the
drive last spring and the widow was
alone that night The young English
girl thought of those things she had
heard and sung Of and had gone
forth in the wilderness to tighten her
loneliness. And then she had lost
herself. People will, with half a
hundred wolves after them. The
north wind surged through the forest
with all it's old-time fierceness, and
snow swept around her girlish form,
and she scrambled through under
brush and around fallen timber with
the fendish yell of the wolves in her
ears. She saw light, and the pluck
that is in every man and woman that
is of blood that fought at Waterloo
and Fontenoy asserted itself, and she
struggled on, while the wolf bowls
mingled with the screeching of the
forest wind.
"Lost her way" she said. "Went
over with a basket of things to old
Nine. Turcotte. Poor old thing. And
those horrid wolves chased me. But
I can rum" and she innocently showed
a pair of ankles that the shanty poet
wrote verses about for the rest of the
winter.
"Did I brighten you when my face
was at the window? I didn't know
how to open the door" And then
Dempsey got his coat on, and the high
wines keg was secreted outside, and
Lavelle felt as If the curse of Cain
was lifted from his soul.
She was quite exhausted. The
snow had fallen deeply outside The
oldest backwoodsman of them all OPP
ened the door. The storm had turned
to a wild north blizzard that caused
his stalwart form to stagger. lit
tie woman, you have to stay here to-
night" And she laughed, for these
wild men knew her, and her father
had long ago gone to sleep.
Then they piled the blankets high
beside the roaring camboose and en-
throned her; and thirty or forty black
guards guarded her couch. AS her
girlish eyes were closing in sleep she
whispered something that both Demp-
sew and Lavelle could hear. Their
thoughts travelled far from Michigan
woods, those of one to lovely Shannon

The Christmas Fire.

How fortunate that Christmas comes in
midwinter. 1t helps to make the festival
what it ought to be-pre-eminently a
home festival. AS the snow and cold in
crease without. the heart warns within
There is no fire that kindles so bright a
glow in the heart as the Christmas fire.
1t seems to burn out all selfshness, and
surely there is no time in all the year
when the tie of brotherhood is so strong
as it is this night all over Christendom
For once all men seem brothers, and
feel kindly towards each other. Even
the fiinty heart of old Scrooge was made
tender at the Christmas season, so that
his hand slipped into his pocket for his
purse.

t WAS CHRISTMAS TIME.
A Story of the Early Days in the
Michiqan Lumber Woods.


They laugh about this story in the
Michigan woods. They say it was
a good joke. People do not realize
jokes. Henry w made a well-turned
remark and changed the religion of
nation as well as his own.
The story smacks a little of the old
en- time, but it may be well that
we shall not altogether forget that
we have grandmothers. The young
men and maidens of Michigan like to
tell it these long winter nights as the
fire burns low, for it is one of the
state legends there has got to be
something to talk about. Love is
not all lingering love-looks even in
Michigan.
Years ago, no matter how many, for
the parties are still alive, when De-
troit was a town and people lived who
remembered when Hull capitulated,
there was girl.
An ordinary, everyday sort of girl
as we would look on her at present,
but in the Michigan woods she was
talked about. They didn't meet girls
every day when the Michigan pine
woods first made millionaires and the
wolverine was rampant.
In the upper peninsula an English
half-pay officer and younger son, and
with the other Affections that primo
geniture entails on our English cous-
ms, had settled He had some crude
ideas about eking out an existence by
hunting. A half-year's income suf-
feed to build the loghouse, a mort
gage to bring his library of Fielding,
there
and his motherless child lived. The
lumbermen and hunters of half a
state laughed at the English lord
and went miles out of their road for
a glimpse of his blue-eyed daughter.
1t was when the century had half-
waned and was Christmas Eve.
The girl had been reading Christ
mas stories. Three months OF a mod
ern ladies' college would have cured
her of that, but she was young. she
hadn't advantages and had all sorts
of old-fashioned notions about Christ
mas from her own kindly heart and
Messrs. Fielding and Smollett, half OF
which, thank God, she didn't under
stand.
On those December nights the old
father told the eighteen-year-old wo-
man whom, father-like, he looked up
on as a child, Christmas stories OF his
fatherland. Her sweet young voice
Joined with his quavering tones in the
lonely house in the wilderness, In
the dear old hymns that spoke OF
peace on earth and goodwill toward
men.
1t was Christmas Eve in Pete La
velle's lumber shanty a few miles
away. Five gallons of alcohol OF the
most vitriolic kind was the centre or
interest to the thirty or forty woods
men. A shantyman is generally very
good or very bad. With high wines,
forty over proof, he is generally very
bad. And Pete Lavelle was deter
mined to kill Jack Dempsey. The
said Jack Dempsey was the deposed
foreman, and naturally the relations
between him and his successor were
strained, with the alcohol percolating
through their veins like raging fire.
When Dempsey called Lavelle, his
chief, by a name that reflected on the
honor of his maternal ancestry, some
thing that riverman never forgives,
