The onlooker who sees nine chill
dren calling for ma at one time,
may wonder If the romance OF we'd
ded life has not many false halos.
One writer says when a woman has
that many children she begins to
have suspicious about some of the
beautiful passages in love stories!
But, bless you, why should she?
From babyhood that mother has loved
children. Her first was nigger-baby
which she loved none the less be-
cause she mau1ed it. Her second
was a beautiful china creation with
golden hair, eyes that opened and
closed, dainty silken garments, soft
and shiny shoes, and Withal a veri-
table fairy of q dolly. Even when
she had grown to girlhood she had
big doll in her snuggery, daintily ar
rayed in a coy corner of the room
on a mantel. Then came her love,
her marriage and its first fruit-a
real baby. And she loved it and
lived for 1t! And did she love either
the less for the second baby? One by
one as they came, flowers from hea-
ven, her heart broadened and widened
and her horizon grew. Her vision
took in leagues of understanding and
she was the ideal woman at last-a
motheri With her children she lived,
happy in their joys, sympathetic in
their sorrows, but gladstone always
in maternity. Ask the mother of nine
children if the passages in the love
stories are true and she will answer
promptly:
Eyes, indeed! Every one of them!"

ASSESSORS MEET.
Good Attendance at the School of In

Assessors elected this spring in
the various towns, villages and cities
of Grant county assembled in Lam
caster yesterday to receive instruc-
tions from Supt. Cleary and school
themselves upon the subject of as
sessment as laid down by the state
tax commission.
Asst. Supt. Churchill called the
roll after Supt. Cleary called the
meeting to order at 1 p. m. at the
city hall. All the assessors in the
county were present but the follow
ing: VIM. O'Brien, Mt. Ida; Fred
Wetmore, Patch Grove; R. A. Shep-
herd, Platteville; P. J. Schaefer,
Muscoda; Jos. Ostermeier, Potosi;
E. E. Mccoy, Lancaster.
Supt. Cleary read his address,
touching upon various questions of
importance to assessors and this
was followed by general discussion
of subjects.

Does Advertising Pay?

The above question propounded to
the majority of merchants in Lam
caster would probably elicit the
reply that ''It Does Not Pay" To
the same question the department
stores of the large cities would an
swer that it docs Pay" The diff
ference of opinion is probably due to
the fact that the one has engaged in
persistent newspaper advertising,
while the other has not. The home
merchant will tell you that every
body knows me, anyway" Every
body knows Montgomery, Ward &
Co., and Sears, Roebuck & Co., of
Chicago also, but still they spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually in advertising their goods.
When they have any thing new or a
special bargain they tell their Gus
toners all over the United States
about it. The home merchant waits
for the customers to call at the store,
and that is the reason why a large
trade that rightly belongs to the
merchants of the smaller towns is
being diversed to the department
stores. Thousands of dollars worth
of goods are bought out of town
each year that could be purchased
at home at duplicate prices, and all
because the department storesspend
dollars in advertising when the
local merchant doesn't spend cents.

Items Of Interest.

A somewhat remarkable text
book for the use of young German
soldiers has just been published.
1t deliberately instructs soldiers to
inform their superiors of all kinds
of offenses committed by their COM
rades. Services of this kind are
stated in the text book to be high
duty and worthy Of commendation.
If the soldier hears anything derog-
atory to his officers or to the kaiser,
he is to fetch a policeman.
1t is expected that this month will
break all records SO far for immigra-
ton. According to an estimate, co.
600 will be the April record. Hereto
fore the record breaking month was
May of last year, when 81, 900 landed
at New York. 1t is now estimated
according to reports from different
European ports from which foreign
ers sail for America, that 100, 900
will arrive here next month.

VARRELL WILL AGAIN.
Judge ClementsOn Sets Aside Clause
Creating Calamity Fund.

The will of the late John w. Var
rell was given another bout in cir
cult court here Friday before Judge
Clementson, a special term being
devoted to the hearing Of the argu-
nents by several attorneys interest
ed in the case.
The arguments advanced were
relative to the construction of the
will and Judge Clementson ruled
against the much talked of calamity
clause by which fund was created
the income of which was to be de-
voted to relief of suffers from mis-
fortune brought about by cyclones,
tornadoes, fires, earthquakes, etc.
This fund was to consist of the resi-
due of the estate after other be-
quests were paid and the estate
settled up. By the provisions it
would amount to about $40, 900.
The ruling was made on account OF
the clause being indefinite in its
construction.
Attorneys Howe and Whitman OF
Boscobel, counsel for the executors
of the will, argued for letting the
will stand on it's merits, while at
torneys Fethers & Mouat Of James
vile, Bushnell and Lowry OF Lam
caster and J. j. Blaine of Boscobel
appeared for contestants desiring
this fund disbursed to the heirs at
law.
The executors will appeal the case
to supreme court-in fact it is stated
that the matter would have been
taken to the higher tribunal in
either case.
