The Chicago and North Western
r. r. Co. will, on or about the lst of
April commence Surfacing and
ballasting the road bed between
Princeton and Marshfeld, and for
this purpose will use twenty eight
thousand $1,000 car loads Of gravel to
do the same. This will require a train
crew with large force of men for
some time to accomplish this work.
When completed, the running time
between these points will be shortened
considerably as the road-bed will then
warrant more rapid running.

Those who are obliged to visit the
Northwestern trains are surprised at
the large number of passengers coming
in and going out on that line. To the
.'wise-acres" who prophesied that the
Northwestern was in the field too late
for business in this city would be
surprised if he visited their station
daily and witnessed the passengers and
freight business which they do, and we
understand it is increasing as time
passes.

should be stopped.

There seems TO be prevailing
opinion among certain class of peo-
pie that the proper thing to do at all
gatherings such as school meetings,
caucuses, schooleXhibitions, etc, is to
see how much disturbance they can
make: at times nothing can be heard
but their tom-fool clatter, stamping
the feet clapping hands, whistling
and yelling, so that the effect of the
meeting is lost to those who wish to
take part in it. If they are asked in
a gentlemanly way to be more orderly
it is like adding fuel to the fire"
they become worse. Now there is a
law on the statute books of Michigan
making it misdemeanor for any per-
son or persons to disturb any public
gathering. Such persons are subject
To "A fine or imprisonment upon con-
victions. Undoubtedly the habit is a
relic of the campaigns where candi-
dates like what they call enthusiasm,
but there it should stop, as it is be-
cominga an unbearable public nuisance
which long suffering people are not
bound tosstand forever. u

out of harms way, you would think"
Eyes, / remember you pointed out
the fish a little before We reached
Nagoya station on our way through,
but tell US about Daredesuka and his
sweetheart What did they do?"
"Daredesuka was a sumural who
had been with the daimiyo Of Kaga
once, and had won fame as a great
swordsman. But when the daimiyo
died Daredesuka became ronin. That
is a samural without a master. He
went about teaching fencing and
sometimes winning prizes in contests
before distinguished folk, but never
getting established anywhere. He
was too fond of roaming. He used to
practice with his sword on all the
forked limbs of trees that he could
reach and also on the wild dogs that
are as dangerous as wolves on the
West Coast roads. 1t is said that
once when robbers tried to take him
he cut through two bodies with a sim
gle stroke, and that the other robbers,
seeing this, ran away crying that he
was an Oni (demon), not man.
in time he came to Kiyoto, which
was large city then and was the home
of the Tenshi, our emperor. The
Shotgun lived in Yeddo-this was
long time before the name was
changed to Toxic. Soon after
Daredesuka arrived the Shotgun
came down to Kiyoto to see the Ten
shi. He had to come once a year ac-
cording to ancient custom. OF course
this meant a great deal Of prepare
ton. The ceremonies were elabo-
rate, and the court mobiles, who usu-
ally were poor, made money by reach
ing the proper etiquette to the Sho-
guns officers. Geisha were busy in
all the tea houses, and gathered gold
pieces enough TO last them a whole |
which is a long time when
speaking of geisha. There were all !
sorts Of sport, too-polo, archery or
horseback fencing and jiujutsu, which
is kind of wrestling.
''Daredesuka was the right kind of
man for such a time. lie went into
many contests, and won so often that
people talked about him in the !
