Our Presidents.

George Washington the chieftain,
First of the line he came,
John Adams followed him,
His policy the same.
Tom Jefferson, Republican,
He tackled the Ship of State,
While Madison the next in line,
Filled out the war time date.
Monroe, Virginian, good and brave
Then John Q. Adams, friend of slave
Next Jackson, laurel crowned by fame
Van Buren, had his aims the same.
The Harrison, who died in chair;
His vice was Tyler, not 80 fair,
Then Polk and war with Mexico.
Then Taylor who had made it go.
And passed away in honor firm,
While Millard Fillmore closed the
term.
Next Pierce Buchanan came along;
Then Abraham Lincoln, brave and
strong,
And Andrew johnson always wrong.
Then Grant, the great war hero, rose
And Hayes whose choice came near to
blows.
Next Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, too.
and again, after Harrison, Cleveland's $
due.
Mckinley then, third martyr, came;
None ever can forget that name.
A blow most tragic had been dealt,
But that blow brought us Roosevelt.

Narrow Escape From Death.

August Bublitz, the gateman at the
Junction, while engaged in his duties
at the time of the passing of the south.
bound passenger train on the G.. & n,
W., Thursday evening, was knocked
down and run over by section of a
freight train on the G. M. & ST. Paul.
His left foot was so badly crushed as
to necessitate amputation at the ankle
and the big toe of his right foot was
also crushed. After the passing of the
passenger train, Bublitz was swinging
the gates to permit the passing of the
freight and had swpg one gate and
was in the act of swinging the other
when the section Of the freight backed
up and caught him. It seems that one
of the trainmen gave the eignal to the
engipeer to back the train before the
crossing was entirely clear and the
rear of the train being so close to the
crossing that Bublitz did not have time
to get out of the way. It looks very
much like a case of criminal careless
ness on the part of the trainman, The
injured man was taken up and carried
to the emergency hospital where his
leg was amputated by Drs. Moulding
and Whyte. Mr.. Bublitz has been in
the employ of the railroads for nearly
forty years, and was generally esteem
ed and trusted AS he is now II years
of age, the severe shock of the injury
and amputation will undoubted prove
more serious than would be the case
with younger person.

The Badger Athletic club football

place. Oconomowoc won at the con-
clusion of two twenty minute halves by
a score of IL to 0. The game was
fercely contested.
| 1t 1858 Capt. Wendorf Of Watertown
kicked off for his team. Oconomowoc
carried the ball to Watertown's fifteen
yard line were they lost it on downs,
| Watertown started to hammer Ocono-
mowoc's line and carried the ball to
the center OF the field were it changed
hands. Oconomowoc by a series of
line smashes and end runs carried the
ball over for a touchdown and also
kicked goal. The score, ..Cooney"
Watertown 0. During the remainder
of the half locals played good game
and the .eCooEey" boys were unable to
gain and the ball changed hands fre-
quently. Time was called for the end
of the first half with the ball in
''Cooney's" possession in the centrs of
the field.
The second half started after five
minute intermission '.Cooney" kicked
off and Watertown carried it to the
center of the field where they lost it and
Oconomowoc got the ball and carried
it for about ten yards when Watertown
again secured it. Capt. Wendorf then
tried e. quarterback run and it was q
brilliant piece of work, carrying the
ball 25 yards, The locals then began
to brace and played fierce game,
Another quarter back run brought the
ball to Oconomowoc's Is yard line.
Here "Cocney" held and Watertown's
only hope of scoring went glimmering.
"Cooney' punted out of danger and
succeeded in getting it at the center of
the field. Oconomowoc's right half
back was then given the ball and with
splendid interference carried it 45
yards for the second touchdown. Time

Years, many years ago, it was the
rare privilege of the writer to listen to
a lecture by Joshua R, Giddings, the
great abolitionist of Ohio, on 1.-The
Life and Times of John Quincy Adams
Mr.. Giddings, had been colleague
OF the ex-president in congress. His
lecture was delivered in the Presby-
terian church at Beaver Dam when
Rev. Miter was yet in charge of the
church. Perhaps no speaker of that day
possessed in larger degree the rare
faculty of charming his audience by
his vivid descriptions and apt SMILES,
and the influence OF his striking per-
sonality and mastery oratory abides
with his student auditors of those days
even until this moment. He was
adopted at once as the standard par
excellence in oratory, and all speakers
since then have been classed as
Among the Best ever Heard :" "Ex-
cellent" and "Good" according as they
excelled, equalled or fell below that
the standard then adopted, And SO it
may prove with the students and schol-
ars of today who are SO fortunate as to
have an opportunity to listen to Mr..
Chas. w. Seymour, one of the finest
lecturers on the platform today. To
hear him might with a great many
cause them to adopt him as standard,
but whether they should or not the
subject matter of his lecture is worth
a hundred times its money cost,

Free Library Notes.

There are two more numbers in the
Chas. w. Seymour lecture course in
aid of the Free Public Library. Cath
crime II of Russia, in Concordia Hall
evening of Dec. 3, and marie Antoin-
ette," week later. Aside from the
pleasure of listening 10 one of the finest
speakers in the lecture field, and
gathering up in condensed and agree
able form interesting facts in the his
tory Of the persons and countries Of
medieval times, is the fact that the
more financial aid you give to these
entertainments the more you help
yourselves in the way of improving
your Free Public Library The re
suits are more valuable and lasting
then money at interest.
A good book. ready at hand, is an
ever present friend; it makes your
leisure moments valuable; creates
taste for ''the True, the Good and the
Beautifully and builds up a desire to
know more and to be better. To aid
in creating taste fo- reading good
books among your boys al cost 6; a
donation of $50 to your Free Public
Library is better than to pay a fine of
$40 in Justices court on charge of
drunk and disorderly, because the boys
had nothing to do with their leisure
hours. There is nothing personal in the
comparison except to try to impress
upon all patrons Of our own Free Pub
lie Library the necessity for improving
it's usefulness.
