THE FROST AND
CRANBERRIES

Sunday night about O'Clock d
telegram was received from Chicago
by Judge Gaynor stating that this part
of Wisconsin would be visited by a
heavy frost before Monday morning.
Mr.. Gaynor Immediately telephoned
to the different cram berry marshes
giving notice of bis report from the
Weather Bureau. The WhiUtlesey
marsh was Immediately flooded at
which point the thermometer reached
% degrees early Monday morning.
A t the experimental station where no
flooding was done the thermometer
reached 23t but in either case little
damage Was done by frost. The
berry while somewhat later than
usual has reached the stage where it
is protected by quite thick skin and
on this account but little damage was
sustained by the cranberry growers,
The harvesting of the crop is pro-
crossing satisfactory and in all pro-
liability good half crop will be
secured.

| TalcOtt. Young Talcott started in at

| large interest in the New Britain Knit
ting company, and with these two COM
i panies the young man concerned him
self. Instead of living with his uncle,
one of the richest men in Connecticut,
the nephew chose to take room in
quiet boarding house.
This was two years ago. Day after day
young Talcott applied himself strictly
to business. One man particularly in
terested him-JOhn Briefly, foreman in
the picker" room. A friendship sprang
up between the two-the millionaire's
son who wasn't afraid of work and the
mill hand. Gradually the college boy
found himself spending much of his
spare time in the old mans company.
Finally, one day he went home with
Briefly. ''My daughter" said the old
man, as a vision clad in dainty white
came to meet him, Miss Ada. She
works for the Parker Shirt company"
| When young Talcott went away after
staying to dainty tea prepared by the
! girls own hands, he asked permission to
call again. He called again and very
| soon.
Gradually the calls became more and
more frequent. Finally the acquaintance
changed to an ardent courtship. The

PROTECT THEMSELVES

Close to Marshfield, a vile wretch
tried to assault a young lady but she
ran from hill, sliced a handy shot
gun and shot an arm off him.
Near Utica. New York, a farmers
wife shot and killed tramp robber
who had brutally beaten her.
In Minneapolis a young woman
grabbed thief who had snatchea her
purse and forced him TO drop it. She
then screamed and a policeman hear
ing her cry for help made his ap-
proach and the miScreant escaped
from both.
In Minneapolis on 18th street a
housewife fired point blank at two
burglars caught in the act of stealing
her silver, and they escaped through
the dining room window.
In Buffalo, girl of eighteen years
was left alone at home and was
aroused by burglar. She arose
softly and secured a revolver and
confronting him in her white night
robes, scared the superstitious wretch
into thinking she was ghost before
she had time to shoot.
In the south In one of it's large
cities, woman also left alone dis
covered burly negro coming up the
stairs. and with all her might pushed
him backward down the stairs. She
then rushed to a window and cried
for help, while the wretch Sneaked
out, glad to escape with his life.
All these Incidents occurred within
forty-eight hours of each other and 90
to prove that the so-called weaker
sex is abundantly able to take care of
itself on occasions. And the influence
OF these examples OF bravery ought to
be helpful to womankind everywhere.

you advertised you would be open FOR
business. You never will forget it.
How proud you were! How you
enjoyed opening up the store on the
first day! receiving congratulations;
some presents from your friends

clerk; yes and counting the cash
every hour in the day: and the final
count at night; then locking up of
the safe; and last but not least, the
sensation of closing the store; turning
the key in the door; walking into the

statements from your creditors and
unable to meet them with the cash?
Scratch your head, walk the floor, not
in your sleep, but when you ought to

Japanese Chemist Who Invented the Pow
der Bearing His Name.)
portant of these surprises was the dis.
covery, early in the conflict, that the
Japanese were using new powder
vastly superior to anything previously
known. 1t is called Shimose powder
named after the inventor, DR.. Shi.
NOSE, Japanese chemist. It's wonder.
full power is shown by the fact that
a shrapnel bali, which with ordinary
powder breaks into only 20 or 80
pieces, with the new powder breaks
into 200 or 800 pieces, and scatters
destruction over a much wider range
of territory. Indeed, it is pronounced
the most destructive missile ever used
One hundred and fifty splinters from a
shell loaded with Shimose powder were
extracted from wounded Russian
sailor of the cruiser Varig, sunk in the
harbor of Chemulpo in one of the first
naval engagements of the war; and
Lieut.. Gen. Count Keller, the famous
Russian commander, was killed by a
splinter from one of these shells that
burst over a battery whose operations
he was watching during the battle OF
Yangze pass on July 81.
