wednesday evening, the 18Th, we
enjoyed a visit from the world.fam-
GUS Prof Slap Jaw OF Northern Iowa,
noted for his wonderful powers over
the mind. He was able TO hypnotic
great many subjects in his profess
sional duties and concluded to spend
his vacation in travel and visit the
various summer resorts in Wisconsin.
DR.. Clark being a personal friend OF
the Professor and hearing he was in
the state, induced him 10 make US q
visit at Birch Island Lake. The DR..
has confidence in the powers of the
Professor TO do or be done and the
exhibition was Of the high class order
and proved to all that tho combination
o. the ,Dr. and the Professor would do
anybody. We were also fortunate In
having with us one Mr.. John Sing,
who could be relied on TO keep all IN
the straight and narrow path. He at
one time was q famous instructor but
lost mis- voice In the civil war. How
ever. on the arrival of Prof. Slap Jaw
he was enabled through the powers
Of the Professor 10 partially regain his
voice and sing fairly we'll and initiate
chicken Growing and loon-a.tlc,--
especially successful in the latter. He
was very useful in the camp saving
wood at night. Dr. o. y. Dead easy
was sometimes called Weary Willie.
He was the tired member. II was
either too not or too cold TO SIT, stand
or go after the mail. He endeavored
10 Ug n ihNltB iluh anu NOhlh y
make believe he was not able to do
or be done and continually worked for
sympathy. Wei, he played 1t to a
finish. However, the men set up a
Job and got even by posting every
mosquito on the island TO take'a peck
at him. The last we saw Of him nc
was going through the brush on the
morning Of the goth, and 46s,35f mos'
qutos taking a punch at him. The
good things always come to him who
waits. But I'm this case 1t was the hot
things.
Here's 10 DIR. and Mrs. Clark, the
prince and princess Of entertainers,
and may you enjoy life, providing
you give us another Invitation TO
spend another vacation with you o.
BirEh Island, Wis.
