They were dug in the fall with spade
FORK. They were then placed in pits
of 100 bushels and hauled as needed
to factory. 1t took from September to
April to use them up. Lime at that
time did not enter into the manu-
1lcture of sugar; the juices passed
through pipes filled with burned bones
and acid. The molasses went to
waste. Every machine was crude in
it, make up. The company's capital
was $4,000 and consumed 80 acres in
six months. 1t is not unusual now to
have a company of $1,OO0O00 and with
! a capacity that will grind up the pro.
duct of the 80 acres in twenty-four
-lours.

Newfoundland has 100000 people.
The water voyage from upper Canada
to reach the island is only about 125
miles. The interior of the island is a
wilderness, unsettled, and the game

A Scotchman named Reid with his

strong hold on other interests. Sena-

a packer into the woods with himself

Regrets, Not Praise, for Suicide.
1t is always we'll to say as cheerful
things at a funeral as one conscien-
tiously can. The Nazarine figured at
many death scenes and always in
sympathetic role. Nevertheless, the
Milwaukee poet who, in speaking at
the obsequies following double sui
eide, applauded the fatal act as calling
for courage of a high order and de-
fined the event as ''herOic," did no
kindly service 1t was the dictum of
a philosopher. long before Christ, that
no man should lay down his life with
out orders from the Great Commander.
If human wisdom is not sufficient to
trace cause and effect. to distinguish
the little things from the big ones i'll
the routine of life, how plesumptuous
is it for mortal, an integral part Of
home and community life, to decide,
absolutely, that the time is ripe for
one to be eliminated as factor. They

Many sick man, many a cripple-yes,
ends. Often one can see this. One
need have no theology to believe that

of motives and ends sought are too
much yelled for man to helpfully OBJ

selfish or at least mercurial, illogical
and irresponsible.
The Late DR.. johnson.
The death of DR.. Sam G.. Johnson
of Hudson seems to have been an
event of profound Importance in a
wide area. One local paper calls him
1.-THE best loved man in northern Wis
consin." To his funeral two special
trains ran, one from st. Paul and one
from New Richmond, probably ex-
planned by the interest of Masons. DR..
Johnson was IN the war. He was twice
Democratic IOminee for congress from
the st. Groin county district and sew
eral times mayor of Hudson. He was
at one time president of the State
Board of Health. He was born in
Georgia.. The reading Of the sketch
of his life indicates that forty years
of medical practice bind man to "a
community very closely. He was evil
IDENTIFY a man of strong sympathies
and it says He suffered with his
patients, he thought Of them with more
than professional interest" He was of
more intellect than most men, yet so
democratic that the poor were drawn
to him. This is ever an irresistible
combination. His character is said to
stand out Ike a granite rock HE
! did not affiliate with any religious de-
nomination but practiced the Golden
Rule and dispensed aims and scattered
sunshine" Types OF, character, of this
sort are full of interest. Every man,
in his best hours, Graves to live the
. rounded and full life. 1t cannot be
that physicians alone have the oppor-
tunity.
