The Old Pie Woman.

"The third day we were in camp a
woman came through selling pies. We
thought nothing of her visit, other
than that her pies were homemade
and tasted awfully good.
1T was just such a day as this
continued the Judge, "and In the AT
ternoon the heat became very oppres-
sive. AS the evening wore on we
observed thunderheads piling up in
the southwest; and the boys prophe-

on, and walked about the camp watch

the more safety for the ammunition in

accountable sense of impending danger
possessed me; and, acting upon what
appeared to be foolish impulse,
ordered the boys to move all of the
ammunition into the timber just below
the camp This was done without
lights; and the tents and other equip

were. Camp fires were lighted as

COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
In this issue will be found the an
nouncements of three candidates for
the above office.
Grant Cook one of Eagle Rivers
young men, and at present teacher Of
the Grammar department. of our High
school, is out for the above office
Mr.. Cook has by his own energy and
by hard work, gained an education
which well equips him to fill the office
which is now out for, in most capable
manner.
VIM. d. Fuller, who has filled the
position as Principal of our High
school the past three years, is in the
| field for county superintendency. Mr..
Fuller has by unceasing hard work,
placed our school on a footing that
is equal with schools in larger cities,
and will surpass amy of them, and he
| is qualified to transact the duties of the
rQt1ice he seeks in proficient manner.
Eugene A. Jewett, principal OF the
| Minocqua Public schools, has declared
himself candidate for the office of
County Superintendent of Schools in
an announcement elsewhere in this is
sue. Although we have not had per-
SOnal acquaintance with Mr.. Jewett,
we understand that he is gentleman of
stearn qualities and pleasing manners,
and is we'll qualified to fill the Office he
seeks with credit. HIS record as a
Teacher and principal are of the finest,
and although he is not personally &c
quainted here, he will no doubt draw a
number of votes from this side of the
county.
The real race for the office of county
school superintendent will lie between
Messrs. Cook and Fuller, and at this
Jiue it is doubtful who viii be the win
ner. as the sentiment on these two can
didate8 are about evenly divided.
