and Mrs j HI Sampson, who departed
Yesterday for Pasadena, Cal Nearly
all of the members of the society and
their husbands were present, and the

of silver teaspoons as a remembrance
of esteem by her Wausau friends. The

The sale and supper given by the
aides sewing society of ST. Stephens
church last Friday afternoon and even
ing was perhaps the best attended of
any sale conducted in the city for some
years. The sale Of fancy articles dur
ing the afternoon Melted the ladies
good profit, while there were SO MANY
applicants for warm supper that they
could not all be served. Its estimated
though, that five hundred were taken
care of at the tables Following this
there was musical and literary pro-
gram by the young people and church
choir that was highly pleasing. This
was the first bazaar given by the society
and it proved so encouraging in its re-
suits that this will perhaps be made an
annual feature hereafter

An exchange tells of school boy
who was compelled by his teacher to
write an essay on the mouth and this is
what he wrote: The mouth is the front
door of the face; it is the aperature OF the
cold storage OF our anatomy. The mouth
is the hot bed of toothache. The mouth
is the crimson aisle 10 the liver; it is the
fountain of patriotism and the tool chest
for pie. Without the mouth the politi-
clan would be wanderer on the face of
the earth and go down to dshonored
grave. 1t is the grocer's friend, the or
ator's pride the dentists hope. 1t is
temptations lunch counter when at
tached to a maiden, and tobacco's
friend when attached to man. 1t
puts some men or the rostrum and
others in Jail 1t is the home of that
unruly member, the tongue. Without
it married life would be summer
dream and the dude would lose half his
attractions.
Rev G. W. Pepper, chaplain of the
state prison at Waupun spent Sunday
in the city. In the afternoon he de-
livered an interesting lecture to men
and boys at the Y. M G.. A. and in the
evening spoke to a large audience at
the Presbyterian church His sermon
was illustrated with stories of personal
experience in the prison, and proved
very interesting. He does not lay the
foundation of wrong doing to the
habits of a person or the vices he may
fall into, but to lack of control of
children by their parents. When a
man has served time" in prison |
society generally afterwards con-
siders him criminal and looks upon |
him with suspicion. Out of charity |
people will give him bite to eat or |
some old clothes, but will refuse him |
work. If the man has honest inten- |
tions it is not free clothing and food he |
wants, but chance to earn living. |
By such conduct on the part of society
many man, who might have re-
formed, has been driven back into the
class. Mr.. Pepper made
strong plead for giving the ex-convict
room among his fellow men,
