What is that man who wastes the coin he
ought to take to hls peopley
He must be rogue, ne'er do we'll you
cry from your virtuous steeple.
Nay, my friend, restrain your wrath,
withhold your righteous below,
The gentleman you're abusing thus is
merely real good fellow.
Who is that man that reels and falls, and
finally lies in the gutter?
Call the police and have him Jailed
is 1t that | hear you mutter?
Nay, nay, my friend, that is no tramp
he's only trifle mellow,
The gentleman you're abusing so is mere

Who is that being that sinks along with
clothes all soiled and rusted,
With bleary eyes and jsilbird ali, plainly
not one to be trusted?
A criminal born and bred, you say YLook

Nay, my friend, that chap was once
truly a real good fellow.

To The Mysteries.

Mary Mapes Dodge.)
We know not what it is, dear, this SLEEP
so deep and still;
The folded hands, the awful calm, the
cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though
we may call and CALI
The strange, white solitude of peace that
settles over all.
We know not what it means, dear, this
desolate heart pain;
This dread to take our daily way, and
walk in it again;
We know not to what other sphere the
loved who leave us go,
Nor why we're left to wonder still, nor
why we do not know.
But this we know: Our loved and dead,
if they should come this way
Should come and ask US, "What is Life?"
not one of us could say.
Life is mystery as deep as ever death
can be;
Yet oh. how dear it is to US, this life we
live and see!
Then might they say-shese vanished
nes-and blessed is the thought,
$50 death is Sweet to US, beloved!
though we may show you naught;
We may not to the quick reveal the mys-
terry of death
Ye cannot tell US, if ye would, the mys-
terry of breath.
The child who enters life comes not with
knowledge or intent,
So those who enter death must 60 as lit
tie children sent.
Nothing is known. But | believe that |
God is overhead;
md as life is to the living, 80 death is
to the dead.

a sign, said: II beg your pardon,
sir. but you see that smoking is not
allowed in this ROOM well"
replied MI. Bryan, II suppose that
rule is not always strictly enforced?"
"Oh. no. sir; neither is the one along

Snake Culture in Australia.

Snakes, according to the prevailing
popular notion, should be killed at sight
as utterly useless and positively danger
Gus creatures, but in Australia they are
now being systematically reared for the
sake Of their skins, which have con
siderable commercial value in London.
Paris and New York, says the Kansas
City Journal. Snake skin is the fash.
ionable material for slippers, belts, bags,
purses, card cases, jewel boxes, dressing
table accessories, etc. Rabbit trappers
supplement their means considerably by
catching young snaKes and extracting
the poisonous fangs. The blacks are al
so expert snake catchers. To them the
snake ls an agreeable article of diet.

New Town Hall at Minocoua.

The enterprising citizens of Minoc-
qua, are building new Town Hall,
and The Minocqua Times has the fol-
lowing to say about their new build
ing: "Che town hall is fast nearing
completion. The upstairs has bet n
divided off into three rooms, two
small rooms for the town treasurer
and town clerk with large room for
the town board to hold meetings in.
The down stairs has been converted
into one large room which will be
used by the fire company and for vot-
ing purposes. A large tower has been
erected which extends from the down
stairs to several feet above the roof
which will be used for driving the
hose. With the new coat of paper
and siding and the new plastering the
building presents very neat and
tastey appearance and is nice and
warm. The citizens now have got a
town hall that they can well feel
proud of and one that will last them
a good many years"

New Way to Kill Deer.

The Finlanders of northern Wiscon-

ing American methode of doing bust
ness on large scale and getting what
they desire in the quickest manner
possible. The game wardens in Chip
pewa county have found that large
number of deer were being slaughter
ed in novel manner by people OF
that race. They scattered turnips,
saturated with chloroform, about the
fields and roads, and in the morning
the deer, which had partaken OF the
roots, would be found sleeping peace
fully and were easily killed with a

Arrangement have been made fol
q big Christmas dance next Monday
night at the Lyceum opera house.
The Wilson orchestra of Rhinelander
has been engaged to furnish the mus
ic and good time is assured all and a
cordial invitation is extended to all.
The citizens of Rhinelander are
again talking of building an np-to-
date opera house. The project has
been talked of before, but fell through
but it is now likely that the opera
house will be built as the right kind
of men have taken hold of it.
Lee Francis Ly barger, of Phila-
deldhia, gave our citizens who attend
ed the End mum Der of the entertain
ment course at the Lyceum last
Thursday evening, a rare treat with
his lecture, Chow to be Happy" and
was one of the finest lectures ever
heard. Mr.. Ly barger is fine orator,
and his subject was treated in much
broader manner than was expected it
could be, and the cheerful mood in
which he kept his audience through
out the evening speaks we'll OF his lee
ture. The audience was small, but
he certainly deserved full house.
Our citizens who intend sending
Christmas presents through the mail,
should be careful and do their pack
ages up securely, so as to avoid their
coming undone in transit. The send
ers address should be plainly marked
in the upper left hand corner. AS
the railway mail clerks have an enor-
nous amount of packages to handle
at this time of the year their work is
doubled by mail packages coming OPP
ened. A shoe box or corset box Or
a breakfast food cartoon, all being
light, makes very nice package il
which TO send your presents in d
they will reach their destination in Il
good condition. The same can also
be applied in sending express pack
ages.
