Some of our friends ask the ques-
tion, why the Courier does not take
more advertisements. The editor
wants to print the news Of Josephine

The only discord that happened at
our dance occurred when one man got
away with another fellows girl. He
is taking it very much to heart, but

Christmas has come and gone. We
have had an enjoyable time and big
time here in our town; a regular old
fashioned dance, good music, every
body enjoyed themselves.
We are sorry to say that we have
some young men who have returned
from their Christmas vacations who
look like some of our girls that are
getting ready to be married.
Our Christmas weather was warm
and fine. The following Saturday
night gave us a little snow, persum-
ably for the boys to hunt rabbits, al
though the snow was hardly enough
for the purpose.

this obstruction will prevent the fish

WISCONSIN'S LONE DEER
SHIELDED BY THE LAW.
Animal Was Seen So Often That .
Protective Measure Wns Passed
by State Legislature.
prp1;nIJc

SPECIAL
Hayton. Wis, jan. 3.-Calumet County
has a deer. Thus far his life has been pre-
served through the operation Of an act OF
the General Assembly for the protection Of
the deer Of the county. He is not a native
of Calumet. but formerly lived in Mantto-
Voc county. The energy and persistence
Of the hunters there decided him to change
his habitat. So he jumped over a fence and
was in another county. Here he has roamed
at will for years.
In his new retreat the deer was often
seen by men passing through the forest
Not for many years. not since the pioneer
days, had a deer been seen in Calumet
County. Each person who saw the deer
supposed 1t to be a different one from those
others had spoken about, and a belief grew
that the swamps of Calumet County would
soon again abound with deer. Far and wide
spread the intelligence that a great herd
roamed the forest where, in reality, the
only one in the county had taken up its
abode.
The legislative body Of the State of Wis
consin had recently received a most valua-
BILE edition. He had been duly selected by
the people OF his county to represent them
in the ssembly His talents were most
manifest. yet no chance OF bringing his
name before the people OF the State pre-
scented itself. Nothing ever came to him.
olIlt AhShh uSAAsSN~A eeSNSA AAAs AANsA
names were mentioned in the news dis
patches and lauded in editorials. But he
simply remained the member from 49,
County.
Then came the opportunity Of HIS life.
He heard Of the deer OF Calumet County.
So he prepared a draft Of a bill. which
specified that. inasmuch as but few deer
existed in the county Of Calumet. and in
asmuch as there was every reason to be-
lieve that. unmolested. their number would
increase. it would be to the interests Of the
people OF the State to insure the security
Of these few survivors. He presented the
bill. 1t passed the House. That night his
name was mentioned in a brief dispatch
which listed the business OF the day. His
happiness was well-nigh complete. The up
per house passed the bill; The Governor
approved It. and the intelligence was pub
lished to all men that the legislators Of the
State Of Wisconsin. having been impressed
with the necessity Of passing laws restrict
ing the slaughter Of game within the State.
had deemed 1t to be to the best advantage
Of the people to prohibit now and forever
the killing Of deer within the limits Of the
county Of Calumet.
The law has never been repealed. What
Is more. 1t has been enforced. Hence the
lone deer still lives.
