SHOULD BE TAKEN IN HAND.

1t has been some time since "Jack
the Hugger" the been heard from, and
people had begun to think that his sew
eral arrests had done him good, when
he bobs up again. One night recently
the members of social organization
which meets and bowls at the Colum bia,
were returning home after their game.
Some of the ladies started on ahead of
the rest of the other members, and
VIXEN they had reached point near one
OF the breweries, were intercepted by
this fellow, whose antics will sooner or
later cause him a badly broken head or
send him to Oshkosh He offered them
insult and they screamed for help At
this Jack ran away and escaped. The
men in the party, when they learned
the cause of these women's screams,
were so angered that it was lucky for
Jack that he did not fall into their
hands that night. A certain member
of the party vows he will pound this
fellow into pulp the first time he
meets him, and he is big enough to do
it, too. The fellow ought to be corralled
and sent to Oshkosh; he is dangerous to
allow loose on the streets. He has been
arrested by police officers and has been
kicked and beaten into insensibility by
husbands and fathers for his actions,
but il does him no good. While he has
never as yet committed any serious
crime, it is hard to tell what he might
do, and for him to frighten woman in
delicate health might mean serious con-
seQuenceS

CANOE TIPS; TWO FACE DEATH,
F. L. Sexmith and o. H. Stevens Have
Narrow Escape.

Death by accidental drowning was
narrowly ayerted yesterday afternoon
few rods below the John street bridge
when David IL. Stevens of Kenosha and
Fred l.. Sexmith of Wausau, both stu.
dents of Lawrence university. approp-
rated canoe from a landing on the
river bank in the vicinity Of the Beltz
boat house and attempted to paddle to
Telulah.
The instant aid rendered by members
of a section crew at work on the Chica-
go & North Western tracks was all that
saved the young men from drowning,
upon the overturning of the frail craft,
which occurred in midstream.
Neither Sexmith nor Stevens are can
oists and had not mastered the difficult
art of maintaining the exact equilibrium
required in order to prevent a possible
accident. When half way across the
river Sexmith attempted to shift his
kneeling posture to one of sitting and
that instant the canoe, a canvas affair,
turned turtle and the two young men
were struggling in the icy waves
They clung to the boat, which kept
them floating until rescued by members
of the section crew. who seeing the ac-
cident, Immediately put out from shore
and rendered assistance. With the ex-
ception of severe chillS, the result of
their involuntary bath and their return
home in wet garments, the boys are to-
day little the worse for their escapade.-

FOOTPRINTS OF THE CEN.
TURlES.

Thursday evening, March "a, Hon. G..
A. Gearhart, of Rocherter, N. T., will
lecture at the opera house in this city,
under the auspices of the u, M. G. A.
The lecturer is brother of Chas Gear
hart, of this city, with whom he made a
brief visit about a year ago. He is
spoken of very highly wherever he has
appeared, both by press and people.
Here is what the Hartford, Wis, Times
says of his lecture at that place. "The
lecture last Friday evening by Hon. e.
A. Gearhart was a mastery effort in
every sense of the word. The Foot
prints of the Centuries" and their rela-
tions to the present and future were
portrayed in scholarly, yet simple
manner that appealed to everyone.
The poetry, wit and wisdom so skillfully
interviewer in sound logic, showed that
Gearhart is a master of word painting.
Aside from the entertainment that such
a lecture affords it carries with it a
weighty influence for good. No one
can listen to such an exposition of fun
damental truths without feeling that it
is privilege to live at the present time,
and that we, too, have our parts to per-
form in making the Twentieth century
even more glorious to live in than the
Nineteenth.

number of thousand feet in each forty

Z. N. Curtis, young attorney from
Merrill. who is now on the tract buying
the timber from the small farmers there
abouts at whatever prices he can best
make.
Mr.. Allen has estimated timber from
Maine to the Pacific and knows a lot
about it. He is careless in dress, like
frontiersmen, and rough and hearty OF
speech. He said: ''G. d. Glenn, A. ID.

'"The pine we worked in was short
leaf. Lumbermen consider that better
than The long leaf because il hasn't so
much turpentine and pitch in it, which
makes it lighter to ship. You can't
burn the short leaf forest. The bark
seems to shield the trees. The owners
OF long leaf rent their timber to the
turpentiners at so much an acre for
three years before they want to cut it.
After that they wait two or three years
and cut it. Taking out the turpentine
hurts the wood around the stump but
doesn't spoil the timber altogether
The farmers burn over the short leaf
woods often to clean up the needles so
the grass can grow. There are oaks
and hickories, 500. Both short aud
long leaf pine are durable and make
a beautiful finish for interior sheath
