Within another week Christmas, 1904,
will have come and gone, and the re-
naming days of this week our stores
will be crowded to their fullest capacity
by those seeking presents. During
this time of good cheer, those more I'm.
fortunate; those who are not able to
buy anything bat food and fuel and
very little of either, should not be for
gotten. This should not be in the ma
ture of mere almsgiving but prompted
by a loving, human kindness and de-
sire to help and comfort others. Get
busy and see whom you can make
happy on Christmas day.

on, the jump taking coin and filling ont

so great that he has siscided to keep his
office open on Tuesday and Saturday
evenings to accommodate those who
cannot come during the day. AS usual,
the banks were the first to discharge
their obligations to the city, and the First
National bears the credit of turning
over the first funds for the present year.
The cashier of that institution, HI. A.
Grout, received receipt No. l in pay
ment of 81, 1864. The Marathon Coun-
ty bank followed BY paying 50 Al. 81 and
the German American received receipt

TIE American daily papers are just
now spreading themselves on the cases
of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, Nan Patter-

a candidate before, he knows that ex-

ONE faction of the republican party
says that LaFollette has no chance for
securing the election of U. S Senator,
and the other faction says that Quarles
cannot be reelected. So it looks as if
the position would have to go to dark
house or to democrat.

sewed the skins together with needles made
of bone. Nowadays he cuts the poles with
a steel ak. Animals being scarce, he makes
his covers out of cotton cloth. And there is
another way the Indian makes the covering
of his wigwam-an Old way, too, it is. He
weaves a thick mating OF grass and laps
this around the poles.
Here I've been saying ''he'' all the time.
It's not he at all who does the work; it IS
she. The Indian women, the squaws, build
the homes.
How do they begin? The poles cut. they
take four of them, lay them on the ground,
and three or four feet from the small ends
tie them together. TIE poles are about
twenty-four feet long. These they stand
up and spread out SO that they will n 1T fail
over. Then into the "F's' at the top they
lay eleven more poles. Over these they
place the skins, canvas or mats. Before
they tighten the cover by spreading the
poles further apart the sluaws take little
sticks and button il together. Along one
side of the cover are holes; on the other are
tied small cords in a loop. The loops are
put through the holes; the sticks through
the loops, and there you are.
The Simple Extras.
Two things are yet lackng-the door and
the chimney. But these are simple things
to make. The door is just piece Of CLOTH
which fits over a hole left in the cover-a
hole so low that has to stoop when he
goes into the tepee The chimney is just
two flaps at the top of the cover. Why
these flaps? They serve to make draught;
for if the wind were allowed to blow down
into the tepee it would keep the Indians
house full of smoke The squaws fasten two
