The funeral of Hans Evenson, who

Services we're held at the home in the
forenoon and at the church in this city
at 2:30 p. m., interment being made IN

two years of age and the cause of his
death was consumption.
The entertainment given by the La
dies Society of st. Joseph's church at
Royal Hall, Wednesday evening, was lib
orally attended and quite generally en-
joyed. The readings of Mrs. Gertrude
Mccarthy gave a variety of selections
which were we'll rendered. The singing

the audience favored with responses.
The Legislature has passed bill
which has been signed, published and is
in effect, increasing the pay of jurors
from So to S. day. Little has been
said about this measure and Milwaukee
attorneys were somewhat surprised that
it passed without publicity. The jurors
in the United States courts have received
So a day heretofore, but in the state
courts the pay per diem has been So.
The increase affects all jurors of state
courts. The mileage allowed each juror
is the same as before, cents per mile.
Mr.. M. P. Rindlaub, deputy collec-
tor, and a special agent of the revenue
department were in town Monday exam
lining the books of the licensed liquor
dealers of Edgerton and we are informed
that the books disclosed several instances
of violation of revenue laws regarding
the wholesaling of liquors. Under these
conditions there was nothing to do but
to settle with the government on the
best terms possible. /. The officials per-
mitted the sviolators to take out whole
sale license and assessed a small penalty
as we'll. In this way Uncle Sam scraped
up a few hundred dollars 10 help along
the running expenses of government and
the liquor vendors will be a little more
careful in the future.

Agnes and Ethel are the kind Of
twins it is difficult for intimates Of the
family to distinguish apart. They are
four years old and source Of despair
to mere acquaintances.
A friend of the family met one Of the
twins on the street the other day and
asked:
"Now, which are you, Agnes or
Ethel? simply can't tell you apart"
"1'm Agnes" gurgled the small
maiden. and then she put one Of her
chubby little fingers in her mouth and
mumbled: You can tell me easy. I'm

A SCOUTS HARD LIFE.
Some OF the Hardships and Dangers
That Must Be Faced.

some OF the dnrdSn1pS ana dangers
That Must BE Faced.
An unfortunate, says Leslie's Month
ly. was sent with q dispatch to one Of
the smaller outposts in the far north
west. 1t was toward spring, when the
midday sun thaws the surface Of the
snow and the light frosts harden the
melted crusts to a glace Of io, as daz-
zlingly bright as the binding flashes Of
sunlight from polished steel. The thaw
had crusted over the trail, and the
scout had to keep sharp eye on the
way not to lose the path altogether.
Suddenly the midday sun developed ex-
traordinary hues. Magenta, purple and
black patches began to dance on the
snow. alternately with wheels and
rockets of cheese colored fire. Then the
light went out altogether, though the
man knew that it was broad day. He
had become snow blind. The only thing
was to give his horse the bit.
The horse stood stock still. By that
time he knew that he had lost the trail
altog. --.er or the broncho would have
followed any visible path. He wheeled
the horse about It still refused to 60
on. and then the man inferred that the
crust Of ice had been so hard that the
horse could not follow back the way
it had come. That night the trooper
slept under saddle blankets, with the
faithful horse standing sentry.
For five days the trooper wander
ed blindly over the prairies, losing all
count Of time, eating snow to quench
bis thirst and sleeping in the holes that
the broncho had paved through the
Ice crust to the under grass. The troop
er was now too weak to mount and
keep the saddle. AS last hope the
thought struck him that If he unsad-
died his horse and turned it loose 1t
might find its way back to the fort,
and so notify his friends that he was
lost. He did this, but the faithful crea-
ture refused to leave the man lying on
the snow and stood over him in spite
Of all his efforts to drive it off. On the
sixth day the mail carrier found the
pair. The trooper was severely frozen.
but the rider and horse lived to see
many another days service.

The Turk and the Grave.

In Russia many Of the peasantry still
bury their dead in grottoes and caves,
just as their princes and noble men
were accustomed to do centuries ago.
In Constantinople. as in other Turkish
cities, bodies are placed in the ground
as soon as the last spark Of life has
fed The Mussulman believes that as
long as the body is unbured the spirit
is in torment and that it IS q crime
akin to murder to molest grave. Ac-
cordingly, the cemeteries around many
oriental cities far exceed in extent the
abodes Of the living.

THE SAME OLD WAY.

Each day some man of science
Proceeds to make us glad
With some new scheme for putting
Mosquitoes TO the bad,
But season after season
We learn to our diSmay
That the "skeetcr" he keeps busy
In
the
same
g old
W
We warn the fools who fancy
The tips they have are STRAIGHT,
That betting on the races
Is worse than bucking fate.
But what care they for warnings?
They 50 with spirits gay.
And the bookie hooks their money
In the same old
We try to teach the lambkin
To shun the bulls and bears;
We warn him not to mingle
Or mix in their affairs;
But, thinking that he knows it,
He goes with them to play
And gets himself surrounded
In old
same
the way.
Each day the busy doctors
Announce some wondrous cure
Fer some disease or trouble
That mortals must endure;
Contagion. plaques and fevers
They knock out day by day,
But the undertaker's busy
In
way.
