New Organ in Place.

The Catholic people of this city can
we'll afford to feel elated over their
new pipe organ, to all appearances it
will I'LL the requirements in every
respect and seems we'll adapted to the
large audience room of that church.
In securing this splendid instrument
n. Reiland is entitled to no small
amount of credit The musical given
this evening at the Catholic church
will be largely attended and the
audience will not be in the least dis
appointed. In the choral effect one
feels sure that he is listening to a
choir singing in another room the air
being perfectly clear, but the words
are not quite diStinguiShable. When
the organ plays on accompaniment
to solo it sings with the singer and
the listener strains his ear to dis
tinguiSh between the two voices.
The largest pipe organ in the world
is at Sidney, Australia, and the
second in size is in the Tabernacle at
Salt Lake City which has seven
thousand pipes and costs over $4,000.

The Cost Of Spite.

Sympathy is costly. Aid of every
sort is costly. But, as DR.. Johnson
said, SO are spite and Immature
''among the most expensive luxuries
in life
It costs us enormously to be rude,
ill-natured or mean. 1t costs much
to give way to unrestrained anger,
to harbor spite and bad feeling.
If we must spend so much of our
life forces on others, were it not bet
ter to spend it in kindness than in
unkindness?
':Getting eyen'' is a hazardous
business. 1t is much easier to get
even with the wrong in man than
it is to get even with the man in the
wrong. You can much better afford
to remain uneven with such a man
than to lower yourself to his level
Hate hurts the hater more than
the one hated. Revenge is poor
Investment. Look at it nationally
from any standpoint, and you must
see that it never pays. You are
obtuse indeed if you have not learned
from experience that one little drop
of kindness holds more of the real
nectar of life than does whole ocean
of spite.
You may search the whole world
of philosophy through and find no
truer thought than this that pride,
envy, malice, hatred, revenge and all
the other evil passions the heart is
heir to, work their first and worst in
jury to their possessors; they corrode,
render wretched and destroy first the
hearth in which they originate.
The man you hate and plot against
may know nothing about it or care.
If he gives thought to you it may be
only to despise you.
Is it worth while to fill your soul
with poison for no better results than
this?
1t be sensible to dwarf yourself in
efforts to make some man recognize
that you are his enemy and can hurt
him, when you can ennoble yourself
by the far less effort necessary to
make him see that you are his friend,
and can help him? Is it not better to
have the respect of others than their
hatred and contempt?

Sensitive Horses.

The horse does not like a nervous,
tidgety, fussy or irritable man. He is
too nervous and irritable himself.
"Why is it," one teamster was heard
to ask another, "that Phin's horses
are always gaunt? Phin feeds them
WE'LL" ''Yes," was the reply, ''but
he's like wasp around horse" A
well known owner of race horses, not
at all a sentimental person, recently
made an order forbidding his en-
ployees to talk in loud tones or to
swear in the stable. II have never
yet seen good hammered horse" he
says, .'that was being sworn at all the
time. It hurts the feelings of sensi-
tive horse, and I'll keep my word
good to discharge any man in my
employ il 1 catch him swearing with
in the hearing of :any horse in this
stable. Country Life in America.

JUST PLANT A TREE
It Adds Value to Your Property
and Makes it More Pleasant
and Comfortable for the Next
Generation.

AS Arbor day is drawing nigh would
it not be well to give it just a
moments thought. Our little city
has many splendid shade trees but
there are many streets and homes
that are sadly lacking in this respect.
1t is safe to say that there is no other
one thing that can be added to a
home that will so improve it in ap-
pearance in comfort and in real value
and add to the selling price like
plenty of shade trees. The reason
that the homes in city and country
are somewhat neglected in this
respect is self evident. If you will
take trip through the eastern half
OF South Dakota and note the many
pleasant little homes in towns like
Brookings you will see a great diff
ference in not only the homes in the
the towns and villages but in the
homes through the country as well.
The first thing that the pioneer
thought of when he settled here in
Wisconsin and Wood county was TO
cut down the timber, but the first
thing that the pioneer in Kansas or
Dakota thought of was to plant a
grove around his home. In travelling
through these states you will find
around nearly every farm house nice
yard we'll kept and an excellent grove,
which not only adds to its value but
gives comfort as we'll, If this grove
answered no other purpose only
play ground for the children and
home for the song birds it would
doubly pay all it would cost. 1t is
hard to comprehend why the farmer
in Wood and adjoining counties will
destroy all the timber around his
house and make little or no effort in
replacing it with either fruit or
ornamental shade trees.
You may own nice house in Grand
Rapids or in the adjoining farming
country but you will never have a
nice home without trees.
The Arbor Day exercises in our
schools is an education along the
right line and ought to be encouraged.
Our noble president set an excellent
example in using the spade in con-
nection with Arbcr Day exercise.
Plant tree this spring. 1t will
help our city. 1t will help you physi
cally, mentally and financially and
be blessing to those who come after
you. Don't forget Arbor Day,

A Happy Couple.

J. w. Hobbins and wife, experts
after the speckled beauties have been
fishing in this part of the state and
they certainly have the faculty Of
getting much pleasure from their
outing. Mr.. Hobbins is president Of
the Capital City bank Of Madison and
an old friend of f. J. Wood. In six
hours fishing close to Wild Rose they
captured one hundred and twenty
trout. Mrs. HobbinS when dressed in
her uniform for the occasion will get
through the brush, wade the marsh
and streams, catch as many trout and
shoot as many ducks as her husband.
We wish Mr.. and Mrs. HobbinS many
returns to this part Of the state and
many outings with gun and rod.

selves" chewing their cuds, was the

reply.
The trouble with many of US is
that we do not enjoy chewing our
cud, letting go our aches, pains and
anxieties, and just enjoying ourselves.
We cannot bear to let go. We cling
to them like thrifty housewife, who
cannot bear to throw away a rag or
scrap of anything, but pile useless
rubbish in the attic. We cannot bear
to let our enemies 90. We cannot
seem to kick out of doors the things
that worry and fret and chafe and
yet never do us any good.
We Americans keep our muscles
tense and our nerves up to such a
pitch that it is the hardest thing in
the world for us to drop things. We
chafe and worry and fret instead Of
resting without being haunted by the
skeleton of care, of anxiety and of
business.
Who can estimate the medicinal
powers Of one cheerful life in the
home,-of one serene balanced soul.
The workman who rejoices in his
work and laughs away his discomfort
is the man who is sure to rise, for 1t is
what we do easily and what we like
to DO that we do we'll.
The most of us make our backs
ache CARRYING useless foolish burdens.
We carry luggage and rubbish that
is of no earthly use, but which sap
our strength and keep US jaded and
tired to no purpose. If we could only
learn to hold on to the things worth
while and drop the bish,-letting
go the useless, the foolish, the silly,
the hamperers and the things that
hinder,-we should not only make
progress but we should also keep hap
py and harmonious.

STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH
John E. Daily Guarantees that Hyomei will
Cure the Worst Case Of Catarrh In
Grand RAPIDS.

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Grand Rapids guarantees
that medicine will effect cure or
he will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that
remedy. 1t is in this way that John
f. DAILY is selling Hyomei, the treat
ment that has marie so many remark
able cures of both acute and chronic
catarrh in Grand Rapids and vicinity.
Hyomei is not pill nor is it liquid
that has to be taken with a tablespoon
or wineglass. Just breathe it by the
aid of an inhaler that comes in every
outfit and benefit will be seen from
the first treatment.
It destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. It cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or Of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous mem
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do it's work of healing.
When using this treatment, the air
you breathe will be found like that on
the mountains high above the sea
level, where grow balsamic trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance
that is healing to the respiratory
organs.
Complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81. 90, and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several
| weeks treatment.
Remember that il Hyomei.does not
cure you John E. Daily will refund
your money. This is a coed time to
cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
so common at this season.

Gideons Hold Forth at Baraboo.

The forth annual convention of the
Wisconsin Gideons association closed
Sunday evening. This society is COM
posed entirely of travelling men and
has over three thousand members.
Do not think for moment that the
''man with the grip is sinner above
all sinners. This impression was
once upon time abroad in the land,
but today you will note upon the lapel
of the coats of thousands of these men
scattered from ocean to ocean, little
blue button with white pitcher and
flaming torch, inscribed thereon and
proclaming to the world that as the
Gideons of old, they will stand every
man in his place round about the
camp until victory is proclaimed
against all that is evil and bad.

ALWAYS LET IT GO
Never Let Small Troubles and
Embarrassing Positions Rob
You OF Many Happy Moments.
Just Forget Them.

If you have had an unfortunate
experience of late, if Grand Rapids or
fate has seemed to be unkind, IL you
have been disappointed either in your
business or social life, forget it. Ii
YOU have been placed in an embarrass-
ing position, if you have fallen and
hurt yourself by a false step, or If you
have been slandered and abused, do
not dwell upon it, forget it. There is
not single redeeming feature in
these memories and the presence OF
their ghosts will rob you of many a
happy hour. There is nothing valuable
in them. Wipe them out of your
mind forever Drop them. Forget
them.
If you have been indiscreet or
imprudent, if you have been talked
about, or if your reputation has been
injured so that you fear that you can
never outgroW it or redeem it, do not
drag the hdeOuS shadow or the
gattling skeletons about with you.
Rub them from the slate Of memory.
Wipe them out. Forget them. Start
with clean slate and spend your
energies in keeping it clean for the
future.
Resolve that whatever you do or do
not do you will not be haunted by
skeletons nor cherish shadows. They
must go out and give place to the
good sunshine. Determine that you
will have nothing to do with discOrd,
but that every one of them must go
out ofsyour mind. No matter how
formidable or persistent. Wipe them
out. Forget them. Have nothing to
do with them. Do not let the little
worrying and foreboding,
anxiety and regretS-Sap your energy,
for this is your success and happiness
capital.
A gloomy face. sour expression, a
worrying mind, or a fretting
disposition is proof of your failure
to control yourself. 1t is an earmark
of your weakness, a confession Of your
inability to cope with your environ
ment. Drive it out. Dominate
yourself. Do not let your enemies sit
on the throne, do your own governing,
Dismiss from your mind every
suggestion that has to do with illness.
If you have had trouble it is over.
Let it glide into the shadows. the
background of memory. Do not
dwell upon it. Do not talk about it.
Whatever is disagreeat lie or whatever
irritates. nags or destroys your bala nee
of mind, forget it. Thrust it out.
Ithas nothing to do with you now.
You have better use for your time
than to waste it in regrets, in worry
or in useless trifles. Let the rubbish
go. Make war upon despoDdeney if
you are subject to it. Drive the blues
out of your mind as you would
thief out of the house. Shut the door
in the face of all your enemies and
keep it shut. Do not wait for cheer
fulness to come to you. Go after it,
entertain it, never let it go.

while he was out on the Kansas
prairie herding cows he conld not
help envying them. "What keeps
them so contented? he asked a
farmer. "Oh, they are enjoying them
