HUNTING SEASON
CASUALTIES

Thanksgiving day closed the open
season for deer hunting in w conSin
this year. This is the first time in
long number Of years that Thanks
giving has been the last day of the.
open season, and it seems almost to
have lost it's force as a holiday when
the large number Of hunters who have
been killed during the season are con-
Sidered.
A total of 90 persons were either
killed or wounded as a result of the
desire to get into the woods and help
to extermlnate the jewellers among
the trees. During the open season
for deer there were only eleven per-
sons killed, much smaller number
than for the proceeding year, but a
number large enough, at that. Be-
sides these there were thirty eight
persons who received wounds more or
less dangerous. Surely, the American
people must be ANXIOUS to hunt. when
this number will be killed in only two

Most of the hunters who were
wounded in the woods this year, re-
ceived their hurts from fellow hunters
in most cases, by members of their
own hunting party. Many were shot
by relatives, and in some instances by
brothers, and even by fathers. Among
the few women who were hunting
this year, but one was injured, receiv-
| ing slight flesh wound in the arm.
She had been mistaken for a deer and
shot at. The shooter fired once more,
and the woman, who comes from the
| northern part of the state returned
his fire, when the fellow made off
through the woods.
Some of the foolish ways that some
hunters injure each other are illus
trated in this years accidents. In
one instance. section crew on hand
car were fred upon by a hunter who
was a few rods away in the woods
bordering the track. The hunter ex-
planned that he had never seen a deer
in the woods and that when he saw
them moving along apparently through
The woods, he fired, supposing it was
deer.
Such hunters as this should not be

there were the least bit of resemblance
between the forms of deer and men it
would be excusable. but as matters
stand, these would-be hunters ought to
have guardian appointed for them,
when they would HE themselves to the
woodland and pursue the festive deer
through their hauntS and slaughter
them in their lairs.

SKATING WILL SOON BE HERE

Now that the cold weather has
come, skating parties will soon be in
the regular order of events. There is
already about two inches of ice on the
Consolidated pond along the edges,
and already some of the more venture
some members of the younger genera
tiOn have ventured upon the glary
surfaces, much to the envy of their
fellow playmates, whose parents will
not allow them to go. The latter is a
wise policy, even though it does pre-
vent the children from having a little
OF the pleasant times resulting from
this sport. The ice on the pond,
though thick enough to be safe for
one or two in places, is not yet strong
enough to bear crowd, even small
one, and parents are wise in not al
lowing their children to go upon it as
yet. When little thaw has come to
melt the snow now on the ice, and
there has been week or more of cold
weather, the ice will then be safe
enough to bear the skaters. Though
it is early in the season., there have
been two drownings reported thus far,
both of venturesome boys who went
upon the ice too thin. One was at
Medford and the other at "A Appleton,
both of this state. AS result, the
boys of Appleton are prohibited by
special ordinance of the city council
from going upon the ice in thai city
till it has been pronounced safe by the
chief of police of Appleton.

Wear Rainooats

1t is seldom that any one style Of
wrap has become so extremely popu-
lar as the loose rain coat of blue silk
that so many wear this spring. One
woman has a wonderfully voluminous
one she always wears with a costume
of dull blue cloth and a hat to match.
A north side matron wears one while
in her automobile or driving, of dark
blue rainproof satin, with a little blue
hat to harmonic with the coat. That
hat, by the way, gave the distinguish
ing touch to a costume that otherwise
might have been thoroughly common
place. The brim was turned up at one
side, and just under this there nestled
a bunch of bright pink roses that
were put there by some one who
knew what was just the right thing.

Some Pretty conoelts.

Mousseline de sole is one of the
most beautiful of fabrics. An exquis-

has a skirt trimmed with puffs headed
with rows of slightly rufied satin rib

Irish lace embroidered heavily in
shades of pink, and about the neck is
a chain of pink velvet ribbon knotted
on the bias with several loops. These
lace coats will be much worn during
the coming season. In fact, Irish lace

Will be much employed for trimming.
Delicate valenciennes lace is equally

las Vegas Proud Of the Thirst or
Buster and Broncho.
Two beer guzzling burros are
among the chief objects of interest at
Las Vegas. Buster and Bronco are
the names of these two curiosities in
the animal line, whose admirers are
ready to go broke at any time betting
on the claim that they can drink more
beer than any other kind of animals
that may visit the camp.
Two-legged animals of any variety
are not barred, so deep and profound
is the belief of the sports in the thirst
and liquid capacity of Buster and his
side kicker, Bronco.
These imitation mules we're among
the first arrivals in Vegas. "old man"
Morgan, a conspicuous character
among the fortune hunters, started
with them for the gold diggings, but
decided to stop at the site of the rail-
road town.
While Morgan is the nominal owner
of the burros, the whole population
claims an interest in them. AS both
animals are of a gentle disposition, all
the newcomer has to do to ingratiate
himself in their esteem is to spend
the price of two bottles of beer-a bot
tie for Buster and one for Bronco.
The owner AYERS that their appetite
for beer is natural The sports of the
camp declare in one voice that if there
is anything cultivated about their un-
usual appetite it is the most beautiful
specimen of cultivation that they have
ever seen.
1t is yet al ~unsolved question as to
which of the two can dispose of the
most beer, and every saloon man in
Vegas has a standing offer to supply
the stuff if some tenderfoot is prepar-
ed to furnish the cash with the order.

Is better made either with a long coat

The base ball fan, or, more correctly

the advent of the n~on-breakable bat
that has made its appearance. This
most desirable and hitherto unknown
attribute of a base ball bat is attained
by cutting a spiral groove in the wood
and inserting therein, flush with the
surface of the bat, some strengthening
material, such as steel wire or steel
tape or sinew. The spiral is made con-
tinuous from a point just above the
handle, so as not to interfere with a
good comfortable grip, to a point just
below where the ball ordinarily strikes.
Care has to be exercised, of course,
in fastening the ends of the strength
ening material wound in the groove to
prevent the developments of weak
spots, particularly at the handle Ok
