Raking the Hay.

Arch Sampson on summers day,
raked the meadow sweet with hay.
The mule with which he raked the
hay was muckle dun with streaks
of gray. Arch's shirt was hickory,
his pants were brown, with a patch
on the place where he sat down.
He cussed in way that was hard
to see, for the mule went haw when
he said gee. A bumblebees nest in
the meadow lay where Arch and the
mule were raking hay. A rake
to 9TH ran through the bumblebees'
h )me and the bees came out and be-
gan to roam in search of the man
that summer day who raked the
meadow of clover hay. The bees
swarmed inside SIMPSONS shirt and
qulckened the mule to a lively
squirt. 1t was tough on the mule
but worse on Arch and even worse
on the sulky rake, for the mule
turned loose in a promiscuous way
and scattered it over the new
mown hay.

The New Peddlers' Law.

On July 18th the peddlers' license
law passed by the last Legislature
went into effect. According to its
provisions, every peddler with a
horse or team and wagon must pay
an annual fee of $45; and every
peddler with push cart must pay
a fee of $50, and every pack peddler
a license of 500. The street peddlers
in the cities say the law is unfair
and works hardship upon them,
contending that it practically
amounts to driving them out of
business. The peddlers have an
organization and they are consider
ing whether to go into court to
make test Of the new law.

Williams.

Mrs. James P. Williams, whose
death was chronicled in the. Her

1852, near Platteville. Her maiden
name was Pauline M. Neeley and
she was che youngest of a family of
twelve children. The father died
wlen Mrs. Williams was but a
child and the care of rearing the
household fell to the faithful
mother At the age of seventeen de-
ceased was united in marriage with
Mr.. Williams and they took up their
abode on a farm near Ellenboro.
In 1870 they emigrated to Mir
nesota, then principally a desolate,
prairie country and settled on a
farm near the present site of
Marshall, at that time but an un-
important hamlet. In the fall of
1878 they returned to Grant county
and located on a farm near Mt.
Hope where they resided con-
tinuously for period of fourteen
years, removing to Lancaster IN
1891. In August of 1908 the fami y
r moved to the northern part OF
the state and Mrs. Williams death
occurred, as previously stated, at
Mather, Sunday morning, July
23rd, after an illness of twelve
weeks.
She was laid forest on Tuesday
following. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Kendall OF
Valley Jet, assisted by Rev. Derfey
of Mather. During her illness Mrs
Williams received the kind ministra
tions of the entire community and
after her demise the same kindness
and sympathy were given the sor
rowing family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams were the
parents of five children, three oil
whom with the bereaved husband
survive: J. Guy of Ladysmith,
Harry L. of Duluth and Robert F
of Mather.
Deceased united with the M. E
church at Mt. Hope in 1878 and
had ever since been a loyal mem
Der of this Organizations great
worker and an exemplary Christian
woman. May the memory of he1
devoted life be a fragrant and

Many Rural Routes.

Rural routes to the number OF
1880 were in operation in Wiscon-
sin on July l, and eighty-two petit
tons for the service awaited action.
The routes IN operation are divided
among the congressional districts
as follows: First, 1879; Second, 1873;
Third, 223; Fourth, Z; Fifth, 81;
Sixth, 1876; Seventh, no; Eighth,
146; Ninth, Ill; Tenth, 68, and
Eleventh, 154. By the end of the
current fiscal year it is the expecta-
ton of the department officials that
nearly all of the available rural
free delivery territory in the state
will be exhausted, at least for the
time being. Wisconsin stands well
up in the list of states enjoying
county service, but two or three adj.
ditional counties will be completed
during the year.
About $25, 900, 900 is available fol
the service this year. Of this
amount $21, 100000 will be used fol
maintenance, and the excess for ex
tensions. From this time on, &C
cording to the officials, expenditures
for rural free delivery will not grow
as fast as during the last few years
