PUBLICATIONS
The greatest thing

in advertising since the discovery
of the fact that advertising would
benefit business has been the
discovery that advertising is not,
after all, an inexact science.
Fewer manufacturers every day
are saying: 81 don't know just
how much advertising helps me,
but ] have a general impression
that it does" More advertisers
are saying: al know exactly how
much my advertising adds to my
business"
The introduction Of modern
methods of keeping close tab
upon the growth of a business
under the influence of adver-
Using has made it possible for
manufacturers to know Just
where they are. 1t has also made
clearer the great advertising
power that rests in a publication
like The LADIES HoMEJ oURNAL,
publication sustaining a very
high standard in the way of a
magazine for the home, with a
circulation which brings it within
the walls of a million representa-
tive homes, and exercising an
influence only possible to a pub
lication which takes full respon-
sibility for everything that appears
in its columns, whether advertis-
ing or editorial.

Farewell DINNER.

Mr. and Mrs Reid Goodrich gave 6
dinner at the Hotel Bells on Sunday al
l o'clock to number of their old time
friends and neighbors. 1t was in the
nature of farewell and the knowledge
that it was so and that Mr.. and Mrs
Goodrich were soon to depart from
/ Wausau-wbich has been their home
for twenty five years-was the only de-
pressing feature of the occasion. The
host and hostess received their invited
guests in the parlor, on the lower floor
of the Bells House, at 1870 o'clock,
and from there all repaired to the grill
room--in couples, paired off by Mrs.
Goodrich-where there was one long
table, on which were laid twenty-eight
covers. This was later reduced to
twenty-four, because of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. Harger and Mr. and Mrs. G. S.
Curtis not being able to be present.
The table was Respondent with cut
flowers and large vase filled with yell
low cryanthemums formed a center
piece beautiful to behold. Mr. Good
rich occupied the seat at one end of the
long table and Mrs. Goodrich the one at
the opposite end, and were assiduous in
their endeavors to see that nothing
occurred to mar a perfect service. The
menu was the best which the Bells
House affords and was done ample JUS
tee. 1t was most enjoyable event
and one which will long be remem-
bered. Those present were:
Messrs. and Mesdames Reid Good
rich, w. G. Silverthorn, ID L. Plumer,

CONCERT THURSDAY EVENING

The American Ballads company,
gave "a concert at the Universaiist
church on Thursday evening, under the
auspices of the ladies' society of the
Universalist church. The company is
composed of four very able artists who
travel under the management of the
Mutual Lyceum Bureau, of Chicago, and
the evening proved one of great
pleasure to all in attendance. The
church was fairly well filled, but the
merits of the entertainment warranted
house crowded to overfiowing.
The program consisted of some of the
favorite American ballads which were
sung by Miss Edna May McClervey, a
young lady, who charmed all by her
stage presence and excellent voice.
She was recalled many times.
Miss Lois Davidson, was the pianist,
and those who are competent TO judge,
say that no better has ever visited our
city. Her numbers were a source OF
delight to all, but more especially to
piano players, and there were quite a
number in the audience.
Miss Florence Mills played the
cello, and the enchanting music which
she was able to get out of that instru-
ment was a revelation to the audience.
The harp was presided over by IL. j
Williams, harpist of reputation, and
his execution on that instrument was
marvellous The numbers of each
performer was roundly encored, and
the concert was heightened out unit
nearly eleven O'Clock. 1t was certainly
the most pleasing concert that has beer
given in Wausau in many day.
The same company will come tC
Wausau again in February when il
will give another entertainment under
the auspices of the schools.

JULIUS CAESAR"

Friday evening, November 18th,
Professor Charles w. Seymour, de-
livered in the high school auditorium
the first of series of four historical
lectures. He is no stranger among us;
indeed, we greet him as an old friend,
to whom we have listened before with
close attention and delight.
The subject of this first discourse was
"Julius Caesar" and it was most
admirably and entertainingly treated.
The speaker presented the background
of the illustrious life of this man, by
explaining the corrupt condition of
Rome at the time of his birth, and the
need of a mighty genius to arise, come
forward, and create harmony and order
out of confusion and chaos. With min
ute and interesting details he traced
the marvellous career up through the
comparative obscurity of boyhood,
until Caesar became an aggressive,
strong minded man, powerful both
physically and mentally. Then followed
a discussion of his wild and adventurous
life in the North, his daring decision
upon crossing the Rubicon, and the
great achievements afterwards accom-
plished almost solely by the uncon-
querable tenacity of his will. The rapt
enthusiasm of the speaker, the events,
brought out so wildly that hush fell
on the audience, and the subtle in
fuence of the charm of the ancient
world, captured the Imagination, called
the man Caesar before us, his laurels
fresh, and unfaded by the centuries of
time, his brilliant deeds shedding a
glory untarnished by the slow unfoldl
ing of ages. The listeners went away
thrilled with interest, the thought inn
pressed upon their minds as never be-
fore, Wonderful, wonderful was this
man, Caius Julius Caesar"

SERVED OHM

Upon invitation of the agricultural
school board and faculty, the county
board members visited the school last
Thursday and enjoyed a dinner served
by Miss Conley and her class of girl
fstudents of the domestic science de-
partment. After short inspection of
the building, the visitors were ushered
into the domestic science room where a
| closer inspection was made of the
following dishes which had been pre-
pared
Fried Chicken Mashed Potatoes
| Cranberry Sauce
Sweet Picked Peaches
Mince Pie Apple Pie
| Cheese Coffee
| Many of the board members had
previously enjoyed the schools hospi-
tally and knew what to expect of Miss
Conley and her students, but there
were few who had never before been
on the grounds, and to the latter new
discovery was made, one which that
oceanroaming dago, Christopher
Columbus, did not equal Their eyes
| were opened to new things, and it is
quite probable that if proposition had
| been made at that time to establish a
school of this kind on every quarter
oNNoiOh III CiO COuhtJ, buO HICiuUCIo
would have voted yea. While the din
ner itself was worth going miles after,
the season of pleasant bits of speech
making which followed was feature
which also suited the visitors.
Those who were called upon for
short addresses were A. L. kreutzer, S.
Tobey. w. j. Farrell, Profs r. b.
Johns, j. Bonnell and o. Z. Wells,
John Ringle and Chas Gilbert, all of
the city; A. E. Beebee, Mcmillan DR..
E. j. Edmonds, Brokaw; W. F. Goetz,
Stratford F. x. Schilling, Marathon
City Henry Kronenwetter, Mosinee
Ben Lang, Mcmillan w. w. Thayer,
Hogarty; F. Borchardt, Texas Ed.
Protze, Edgar, and others. All spoke
in praise and commentator of the
school, its faculty, management and
the objects for which it was established.
1t developed during the talk that a
number who fought the school tooth
and nail at the outset, have so changed
their minds that they would at present
fight just as hard any proposition that
would be injurious to the schools in
terests. A number of the supervisors
at this time stated that they had re-
solved to send their children to this
school and give them training in the
advanced methods of the practical
things of life, essential to the farmer
who would be successful in his calling.

is familiar with that subject. The cheap
