CHRIST MAS.

Though Christmas comes each year
Z means too much ever to be stale. In
religion, it celebrates the best part of the
Christian faith, new joy that came in
70 the world As a holiday, it is the
season of expansion, generosity, lead
ing others lives. Cold reason would
cay that the best time for making gifts
was when necessity called, opportunity
invited, or impulse urged, but Christ
mas throws reason to the winds and
opens the arms of faith and profusion
once each year. The shops are loaded
with grotesque and useless toys,-use-
less, save to give little human beings
JOY. Many poor soul pinches for the
sake of donating some guerdon of its
love, and is, perhaps, the better for the
sacrifice Wear this for me, no
words mean more, and of all gifts, as
the American genius said, the best is a
portion of thyself. Therefore, the poet
brings his poem; the shepherd, his lamb;
the farmer, corn; the miner, gem; the
sailor, coral and shells; the painter, his
picture; the girl, a handkerchief of her
own painting Alas for us, who can
give only what we buy; and yet even
fsat carries our emotion, for it is chosen
lovingly. Certainly the principle of
tie widows mite holds true in Christ
mas giving as in charity, for all depends
upon what it means to the giver. Who
has not been moved by receiving the
tribute of child,-a bit of paper, tooth,
or curl,-comic or pathetic,--in way
that he could be touched by no care
lessly choosing CrGsus? So no wagon
load of city roses can carry the per-
fume of the heart as it is borne by the
blossoms which the giver's hand has
culled or his slender purse has shrunk
to buy. Christmas, the season of Civ
ing and rejoicing helps us all to part
of the spirit after which the day is
named; the child with his joy, the rest
of us with charity and the love of man.
How few are hundred Christmases in
one lifel-Collier's Weekly.

Mrs. Roosevelt a Gracious Hostess

Conversation anent future presidents
and vice presidents has led to the COM
parison of the wives of the public me1
with the president first lady of the land,
who s(said to be tue most hospitalble
mistress of the White house since the
days of Dolly Madison.
Mrs. Spooner, wife of senior senator
from Wisconsin, has figured prom
inently in this connection, and is looked
upon as worthy successor to Mrs.
Roosevelt, not only as a typical Ameri-
can wife and mother, but as a brilliant
and cultured woman, with decided
musical and artistic talent. The
Spooners again have taken the house
they occupied last season. 1t is only
few blocks from the White house, and
many of the exec ative departments
with which the senator has official bust
ness, and for convenience is especially
desirable for so busy man.
Chief Justice aud Mrs. Fuller are
across the street, while Mrs. Hazeltone,
and United States Assistant Attorney
General Louis A Pradt and Mrs. Pradt
with their young family. are Wisconsin
friends on the same block.

ing homes would cover the story of the
early growth of the capital from the
time it was first laid out by George
Washington.-A j: Dodge in the Mil

LOWER WAGES.
Big Lumber Companies Said to be in
Combine For Reduction of Pay.

Ashland, Wis, Dec 1.-The big lumber
companies and logging operators in this
region Iare apparently endeavoring to
materially cut the wages in the woods
A large number of men have returned
to the city from Mason where they had
been employed by the White River lum-
Der company. They say that the COM
pany attempted to enforce a wage reduc-
ton, and rather than submit to it, they
decided to quit and one of the camps
was left almost entirely without men.
According to the scale this company
has instituted in their camps, common
labor in the woods is worth $22 month,
provided man stays three months or
more, and $1S a month when the man
stays only month or less. Teamsters
and sawyers are to receive S26 a month
on three months contract, and S23 a
month on one month contract. As
the White River Lumber company paid
about $50 a month last winter for COM
mon labor and S35 for teamsters and
sawyers, it will be seen that this reduc-
ton is from SS TO $40 month.
tits reported that reductions are being
made in other camps in this vicinity,
but whether the men can be induced to
return and work for these reduced
wages, is a problem that has not yet
been solved. News.

GOOD SLEIGHING.

1t has been number of years since
sleighing was as good at this season as
it is at present. The long dry fall al
lowed the streets and country roads to
be beaten down hard, making a good
bottom, but loggers complain that the
swamps and lowlands are not sufficient
ly frozen to make .good skidding, al
though much of this work is being done
at present. Since the fall of snow the
farmers are making the best of it and
the city produce buyers state that a
great deal of grain and hay are being
brought in. The wood market also is
being well supplied, tan bark is being
hauled to the tannery, excelsior bolts
and other wood products are being sup
piled to the factories. The present good
sleighing is benifit to the city mer-
chant as well, especially at this pre-
holiday season. On account of the poor
sleighing of last year the merchants
suffered loss of thousands of dollars
worth of trades that they would have
got just previous to Christmas had the
farmer been enabled to bring in his
products and exchange them for the
merchants wares.

Those who attended the Interna-
tional Live Stock show in Chicago last
week pronouce it undoubtedly the
greatest show of its kind ever held in
the world. The exhibit from foreign
countries was not as large as had been
expected, but Canada and the states of
Illinois, Wisconsin. Indiana, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kentucky and New York
were well represented. To T. H.
Harding. of Waukesha, Wis, belongs
the honor of exhibiting the finest bull.
Mr.. Harding, it will be remembered,
exhibited stock at our county fair last
fall Among the steers one of three
bloods-one-fourth Angus, one-fourth
Holsteiu and half Hereford-raised by
the Nebraska college, got first prize.
The Wausau gentlemen who attended
are of the opinion that it would have
been paying investmentto to have made
up fund and sent down two farmer
boys from each town in the county to
view this stock. 1t would have been
an object lesson to them in profitable
cattle raising.
Samual Ducette was last week SEN
fenced at Ashland to serve four years
in prison for the killing of VIM Voight

day about six weeks ago when they be-

returned with rife and killed Voight
