1t was no accident that Earl Brennan
knocked home run in the game with
Marshfield Sunday afternoon. He is
hard hitter and all his friends know
it. 1t has just leaked out that Earl
made hOme-run hit at Ashland some
weeks ago, He was playing with the
Ashland team against Bayfield,. When
Earl came up to bat Bayfield, was in
the lead and things looked blue for
Ashland; three men were On bases and
two men were out. The crowd shouted
to Brennan to do something or bat
no more. Brennan was not particular
about new-fangled curves, and SO
Swatted the first bail that came over
the plate-and the sphere hetook
itself back across the fence. The
wildneSS that seized the fans cannot
be described in words. Every man,
woman and child in the bleecherS and
grand stand rushed upon the diamond,
and Brennan was carried around the

in triumph. The brass band followed
playing the good old tune, "There'll

breathe in the spicy odor Of the pine,
and realize that this scenery is all
yours, you will feel much like pitching
your tent and remaining for season.
No other river in this state of
beautiful rivers is SO varied as the
Wisconsin river. Below Stevens
Point he rushes wildly over the rocks
here he is in joyous mood, running
heller SHELTER down the hill-a fairy
prince in silver armor, throwing a
shower of diamonds at the little ferns
asleep in the creviceS of the rocks.
The woodlands bend down to listen to
his unforgetable singing. Even the
modest silver birch looks wistfully, as
his shining helmet vaniSheS in the
green twilight of the forests. Farther
down the stream he comes to sudden
halt, like one who has forgotten
something and would turn back, but
he goes on until he comes to the first
paper mill, where he proves that merry
laughter and serious purpose some
time go hand in hand, by turning
great water wheels that furnish power
to this plant.
His work here done he glideS
through quiet haunts, where swooning
branches bend over him, through
emerald isles. of lily pads, where the
sun lays golden fingers on his tired
bosom.
But his time for rest is short. At
the next mill he converts great
masses of timber and pulp into pure
paper. As the writer went from
room to room in this great paper
factory, seeing the working of the
| powerful machinery, it was difficult
to comprehend that the power behind
it all was our modest friend we met
a half mile back. Truly he is a
dreamer and a worker. Here he again
puts his shoulder to the wheel, this
time with sudden energy of one
who wishes his task over. Just below
the dam he stops to rest moment in
a lovely spot where the sunlight falls
like golden wires through the trees
on his banks, then drifting lazily along
into the purple shadows, singing
softly to himself little song of the
beauty and truth, the joys and pathos
of life; dreaming, perhaps, as we al
do now and then, of how nice things
would be if they were different; wish
ing he could leave his quiet valley, ano
glide into the arms of the great ocean
and drift away with the sunrise-sail

Ed. Kennedy, of Auburndale, who

said that he had discovered a simple
way to protect his sheep from wolves.
He attaches bell to every fourth or
fifth sheep and the LOUD sound thus
created when the sheep are aroused
drives away both wolves and dogs.
Before Mr.. Kennedy adopted this
scheme he lost many sheep yearly.
The bells have been in use for three
years and during this time he has not
lost single sheep.
