Deerfield

Mrs Nellie Reed had the misfortune of
stepping on rusty nail the fore part OF
the week and consequently has been suf-
fering with very sore foot.
The rhetorical contest of the Deerfield
high school will be held at the opera
hail. Friday evening, May 19. Interest
ing declarations and good music will be
given.
Two government surveyors from Wash
ington, D G, were through these parts
last week. They erected temporary
flag pole on Liberty hill, the second
highest point in Dane county. They in
formed US that this hill is 1860 feet high.
They erected pole where similar one
had been erected over twenty years ago.
Aslak o largo, father of Martin largo
of Liberty Prairie, was in town last Mon
day on business. Mr. largo is 911a years
old, yet looking at him one would not
guess him at over "a. He stands as
erect as man in the prime of life, walks
with firm gait, is mentally clear and
writes a good hand without the least
sign of trembling. He and his wife came
to this country in 1843. The first year
he worked for an American near Mus
kego who had a hotel, farm and saw
mill, receiving 800 for his work. He
then purchased yoke of steers and also
filed on 40 acres of the farm which after
wards became his home on Liberty
Prairie. It seems he built mis- house be-
fore he secured his oxen, because he re-
lated that such of the logs for his house
that he could not carry he rolled up to
the house. When he first came he was
visited more frequently by Indians than
white people, but, he says, they never
did him any harm. Mr. largo has always
been lover of good horses, and was one
of the first to introduce improved breeds
of horses into the neighborhood.

RUGS OF PEI CAT SKINS.
Pelts of Dead Felines May Be Used
to Make Handsome Or
naments.

} Devoted feminine owners of "the
loveliest cat you ever saw" need not
utterly despair when, in course Of
time or accident, the last of this cats
lives is yielded. They may, if so dis
posed, at once remember poor pussy af-
fectionately and add to theirown choice
possessions by following the example
of a London woman who has loved and
lost many fine felines.
This woman is the sadly proud own
er of a handsome rug made from the
skins of her departed darlings. All OF
the IA skins that compose this rug are
Of a single color, black, the one-time
mistress of the vanished cats being par
tial to pets of inky shade and keeping
no others. On the reverse side Of each
skin is an inscription recording the
name of its original owner and the Pc
Rod during which she %gladdened the
heart of the woman before whose hearth
her fur still reposes. Thus, one inscrip-
ton reads: Fairy, 1924" and an
other: Beauty, 1900-'5."
Owners Of fine cats might do worse
than follow a similar plan when death
removes any of their feline treasures.
Cat fur usually is fine and handsome.
and poor pussy might as well be re-
membered in this way as by the cat por-
traits that now hang on many a wall

EUROPE SELLS TO MEXICO.
Machinery Is Better Suited to Un-
skilled Handlers Than Amer
lean Make.

John Bulls island and the kaiser's
fatherland are where the Mexican ma
chinery mainly comes from, not on ac-
count of superior workmanship or
cheapness, but apparently because Eu-
ropean manufacturers are disposed to
conform to the requirements OF the A.
900 600 Mexicans who have occasion to
use machinery. Besides, the Europeans
extend long credits, which permit the
buyers to proceed in conformity with
the slow processes in vogue every
where in Mexico.
American machinery is admitted to
be excellent, but it is not suited to
the rough handling of the Indians and
half-breeds, who perform most of the
Mexican labor. By the majority of
this machinery Is made tc perform it's
duty regardless of any defects which
may exist, due to faulty installation or
other causes. The laborers do not
stop to take this into consideration.
Nor can they appreciate the fine work
ing parts of complicated machinery
o the careful handling it requires,
European machinery is fully one-half
TO one-fourth heavier than American
machinery of the same power, and hence
stands much rougher treatment.
American machinery, it is said, Il
shipped carelessly, so that it arrives il
bad condition, requiring the missin;
parts to be replaced by native me
chanics, who thereby je%opardize tn
working of the machines. The European
products are shipped in a faultles
manner.

Immense crowds from all parts Of the

giving away to Brahmans of rice,
sweets, clothes and utensils on the
occasion is considered meritorious,

NOT WHAT LAWYER WANTED
Got Good Motherly Advice Where
He Was Looking for Treas
ury Notes.

Lawyers have some queer expe-
riences," said the judge. zone of them
was telling of a case heard before me.
A young man had been arrested for
larceny and he sent for this lawyer.
THE young fellow told the attorney
that he was innocent, but that he had
no friends in the city, and no money.
His mother, however, was in fair Cir
cumstances, and he knew that she would
help him. What he wanted the lawyer
to do was to defend him, and also send
a telegram to his mother telling Of his
fix, and asking for aid. The lawyer
agreed to this, and made such a good
defense that the young man was ac-
quilted.
HE and the attorney went direct to
the telegraph Office to which the mes
sage had been ordered sent, and found
1t. The young man was sc grateful to
the lawyer that he handed him the I'M
opened envelope, telling him that he
must take all the money that his moth
er had telegraphed him. The law
yer tore open the yellow cover, and his
eyes were greeted with these words:
Put your trust in God. I am praying
for you. Mother"
