In days of the old tinker bold, when
called TO mend pot, would build a
dam of moistened meal around the
leakage spot. The melted solder TINS
was made within due bounds to stay,
but when the solder solid was the dam
was thrown away. Aud so the meal
then useless as a Lake Cochiluate clam,
became a symbol; hence we say Not
worth tinker's dam. "-Ex

The boarding house of Mrs. Carrie

fire in the second story this morning

Herman Marquardt, for the Western
| Union Telegraph Co., was in the city
Thursday fixing up the electric clocks
| of the company in use in this city. The
! extreme cold weather affected the
| clocks and some of them have been out
of business as consequence. Mr..
Marquardt is a Wausau resident, but
| his territory covers three states, and
although there are many cities that
would be more central for him to locate
in and work his territory the Wausau
spirit is too strong in him to allow such
| a change to be made. He is a pleasant
gentleman to meet and loses no OPP
portunity for sounding the praises OF
his home city, of which the entire Wis
consin valley feels proud.-Rhinelander

at the rate of 100000 week, but the
larger part of them will be sawed in

for that was cut years ago, and most
of the logs being cut this winter are

wood.
