sixty but the records show that he
began his eighty-seventh year yes
terdav.
Few members of this community
have experienced more activity
than this distinguished citizen.
From early in life until recentyea
he has occupied positions of trust
and his record shows one of great
usefulness and responsibility. He
was educated in his native city,
Cincinnati, under the famous
astronomer, Prof. O. M. Mitchell,
afterward Gen. Mitchell AS soon
as'his education was finished he was
employed as civil engineer in'some
of the early work done in Indiana
and after three years returned to
Cincinnati where he was engaged
for a time in the bank of which his
father was president. From the
bank he went to Toledo where he
opened a commission bouse under
name Of Winslow & Williams.
Sought Milwaukee.
In 1912 he came to Milwaukee
when the city had but one family,
that being Solomon Juneau. At
the land sale. Mr.. Williams and
two others purchased the present
site OF the Cream City with the ex-
ception Of the land occupied by Mr..
Juneau 2nd'which he had secured
by floating aim. Before this
Major Williams father had pro-
phesied that a great city would be
built between Chicago and Green
Bay and sent a forerunner to find
the place. When the reports
reached the Queen City Mr.. Viii
liams decided it would be where Mil
waukee now is and sure enough
the prophesy has come to be true.
A Vast Swamp.
Milwaukee was a vast swamp
with the exception of the. land
where Juneau lived. Major Will
liams says that he remembers of
thrusting a ten foot pole into the
soft muck where the Plankington
house now stands. He afterwards
erected a building there. When his
father died in l84l he became the
administrator of the estate and
about the same time was appointed
receiver Of the United States Land
Office by President Taylor. Many
of the original land patents in the
vicinity of Baraboo bear the
majors signature While in Mil
waukee he was alderman, treas
urer Of the Milwaukee & Prairie
du CHEN railroad, and held other
positions of'trust.
Came to Excelsior.
In 1856 he came to the town OF
Excelsior in this county where he
raised fine stock, became chairman
| of the board of supervisors, presi-
dent of the Sank County Agricul-
tural societys, and a member OF
the state association.
| When the war came on he was

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
Some Curious and Varied Beliefs az
to Eis Identity.

Some Curious and Varied Beliefs AZ
to Hts Identity.
According to Pratorius, the man In
the moon is the patriarch Isaac, carry
ing the bundle Of sticks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Cain, carrying bundle Of thorns,
the meanest Offering bis lands afforded,
as a present to God. In Iceland the
people claim that they can see the
face Of Adam in the moon and that Of
Eve In the sun. Among the Frieburg-
ers there is superstition which says
that the marks and spots on the moons
face are the outlines Of the traitor
judas Iscariot, holding his hand over
his face while sneezing just prior to
hanging himself. This last belief ac-
cords with the old FFankish legend
which says that there was no spot on
Luna's bright face until after the time
Of the crucifxion Of Christ. Still an
other story tells US that in the time Of
the creation God threw an offending
angel against the face Of the moon,
while another is to the effect that the
moon witnessed the creation Of Adam
and Eve and took an impress Of their
features on his surface, intending to
people his own land with similar be-
ings. When be essayed to initiate Gods
works, he made nothing but Shiny
serpent, which since that day has con-
tinued to fold and unfold its mighty
coils in full view Of the descendants
Of the God created beings.

Poison in Oriental Rugs.

A salesman employed in the rug de-
partment of a big Market street store
died of blood poisoning the other day,
and since then no one In the estab-
lishment has been permitted to handle
any new importations that have not
been fumigated unless gloves are
worn. The salesman in question had
scratched one of his fingers with a
opening a bale of rugs that had just
come from the Orient he had become
inoculated with poison, which resulted
fatally.
tits wonder to me-" said a friend
of the victim, that such cases are
not more common. I have Travelled
through Turkey and Armenia, where
most of the rugs are manufactured on
hand looms amid filth and squalor all
most indescribable, where the most
loathsome of diseases are everywhere
in evidence. These products, while
beautiful from an artistic point Of
view, may readily carry germs to
other countries that might spread all
sorts of horrible contagion. "-Phila

"SooIIed Parents"

A correspondence in one of the
morning papers, on the Spoiled chill
dren" of the present day, has brought
to the front many interesting aspects
of family training. 1t seems general
ly felt that there Is in many cases
an undue laxity nowadays on the part
of the parents, with disastrous re-
suits to the children. One writer has
traced this tendency to one of IS
sources by pointing out that frequent
" it is the parents who are spoiled:
He says:
indifferent and ease-loving fathers,
weak and vacillating mothers, one mo-
ment will scold and punish; and the
next coddle and pity their children,
with the result that the children, with
their wonderful powers Of observation
and imitation treat the desires and
feelings of their parent with CORE
spending contempt
Good parents are few and far be.
tween, and that is because the quail.
ties of firmness, self restraint, and
wisdom, so needsul IL family training.
are so rare among men and women

About Yawninq.

Ydwning is not considered a very
graceful act, and l think 1t should b"
avoided in unseemly places; but
Health Culture considers 1t an impor'
tant effort of nature to rest and
otherwise benefit the body. The
writer is Of opinion, though, that If
practiced too much a yawning habit
may be cultivated which may be more
troublesome than useful. But the
publication referred to says whenever
you feel like yawning, just yawn.
Don't try to suppress it because you
thing 1t is impolite to yawn. Put your
hand over your mouth if you want to,
but let the yawn come. And If you
are where you can stretch at the same
time that you yawn, just stretch and
yawn. This is NATURES way OF
stretching and relaxing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open the mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
very tired but do not feel like yawn-
ing, there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit on a straight-back
chair and lifting your feet from the
floor push them out in front of you as
far as possible, stretch the arms, push
the head back, open the mouth wide
and make yourself yaWn.

A NEW-sTYLE cAskET.

An Innovation Which Does Away With
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Coffin.
1t is not so much what you pay for,
nor what you pay, but what you get
that needs your attention in the selec-
ton of a casket, for the genius of the
twentieth century has been just as
busy in the way of funeral furnish
ings as in other line, until today
the styles of caskets are quite differ
ent from what they were fifty years
ago and changing every day.
This is especially true in Metallic
'Caskets, the old style heavy cast iron
goods having given away to the more
up-to-date copper Innings which are
neatly fitted into the best grades Of
vanished or cloth covered work.
One of the latest designs as recently
brought out by the National Casket
Co., is what is designated as a Couch
Casket, which has the appearance of a
comfortable couch when open, yet re-
tains all the requisite outlines of the
beet styles in regular casket work

APPLE AND ORANGE JELLY.

Use an equal number of apples and
oranges. Wash the apples, slice and
core them; put them over the fire in
the preserving kettle with enough cold
water to cover them and simmer them
until they are reduced to a pulp.
Pour the apple pulp into jelly bag
to strain out the juice. Measure the
juice, and to each pint of apple juice
add one of boiled orange juice and a
pound of sugar, and boil them togeth-
er, removing the scum that rises, until
e little, cooled upon a saucer, forms
a Jelly Then take the kettle off the
stove, let the jelly partly cool, and
pour into glasses. When cold, seal up
like any other preserve.
