FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Any Number May Play Sheep and
Shepherd Game.

One of the players in this game
is selected to act as shepherd. The
rest, who may be as numerous as
they choose, play the part of his
herd The shepherds eyes are ban
daged, and he is led to spot which
is to be the ''sheep fold"
One of the sheep walks to him,
taps him on the shoulder and asks:
Glow many steps will you allow
me to take, oh, kind shepherd ?"
The shepherd answers, designat-
ing a certain number. The sheep
goes that distance, in any direction
that it may choose, and stands still.
Thus sheep after sheep goes till
the last one is placed. When the
shepherd observes that no more
sheep come up to him he cries:
"Sheepl Sheep! Where are you,
my dear herd ?"
Then all the sheep must say,
'Ba-a-aw in chorus, and the shep-
herd advances and seizes one.
The seized one must say,
''Ba-a-a~ again, and the shepherd
must guess who it is instantly. IL
he guesses the right person the
caught sheep becomes the shepherd
If the shepherd fails in his guess he
must catch another sheep, and 80

Just when thought he'd surely como
And 1 would hold him fast
Somehow 1 can't remember what

But when / got awake again
And fixed my eyes upon
The place where expected him
Why, he'd been there ard gone
I've tucked my baby brother up
In my own little bed
And got behind a chair and watched
The Man sleep him instead.

To kiss his little toes:
He kept the Sleepy Man away
And that's the way it goes.

The table below shows the population
of the various towns in the county, also
the wards of the city, as returned by
the state census enumerators. Two
towns are missing from the table Easton
and Knowlton, the town clerks in the

The table throughout, with few ex-

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

George Nachtigall, resident of the
west side, was arrested Friday and was
later passed through a mental examina
ton made by physicians to determine
his sanity. Nachtigall, it appears, has
of late been making threats to kill him.
self, and on the day mentioned above
determined to end his earthly career by
the revolver method. He purchased a
cheap revolver but failed to procure
any cartridges and possibly might have
re-cOnsidered the matter. At any rate
neighbors gave the officers warning OF
his intention and they placed him be-
hind the bars where he could do him.
self no harm. Nachtigall is past sixty
years of age and recently had trouble
with his wife and she left him. He also
recently figured in an episode on the
west side, which resulted in an attempt
at suicide and police court case.
LATER-Since the above was put in
type Nachtigall has made another effort
to end his life On Saturday afternoon,
while confined IL the hospital cell on
the second floor of the county Jail, he
attempted to hang himself and came
near being successful. During the
afternoon Sheriff Damon's family heard
a gurgling sound coming from his cell
from one of the window bars. He was
cut down and found to be unconscious
and physician was at once summoned.
Before the doctor arrived the man had
reclaimed consciousness, and soon was
none the worse for his experience. An
examination was made of Nachtigall
yesterday by Drs. Koch and Rosenberg
and he was declared to be sane and was
discharged.
Al an early hour this morning Mach
tigall reported to the night police that
a man and COW had been drowned in
a pond back of his house. Captain
German called up the sheriff office
and accompanying Mr.. Damon's sons
they drove over to Nachtigalrs place.
There was thick green scum on the
water and this had been recently dis
turbed which led the officers to believe
that there might be some truth to the
story. Nachtigall said he was awakened
at late hour by the noise of cattle in
his field
He dressed himself and went outside
to drive the cattle away and saw that
man, a stranger to him, was then driv-
ing them off the property. He watched
the man. Presently one of the cows
got into the pond and was drowning

closed over him and he was seen no
more. 81 tell you feel me sorry for
the poor man." said Nachugall. II ask
him Who be you?' an he say Ich

The officers got boat and some pike
poles and dragged the pond, as they
did also another pond near by, that was
eight feet in depth. They worked from
two o'clock this morning until six and
then gave up the quest for the dead
bodies of the COW and man and con-
Guided that the story emanated from
diseased brain.
This morning, when 1t got daylight,
an examination showed that there had
not been any cows in the field, at least
no tracks could be discovered. But the
ground was all plowed up, showing

been quite few changes in town and
village organization in the past few
years, so that the apparent decrease
noted in some towns is explained by
foot notes at the bottom of the table.
The decrease in the town of Berlin
was quite surprise, but this is ex-
planned by the fact that most of the
farms In that town are owned
by old people. Their children
are fast getting married and
moving into other towns, where new
land is more available. Thus the town
does not grow.
Marathon county is fast being settled
up and when the government census is
taken in 1910 we ought easily to have
10000 people.
The Fourth ward in the city is slow
one and does not live up to the hopes of
the strenuous Teddy, for there has
been an increase of only one in that
ward in five years. If the other wards
made no more progress and the same
ratio of increase was kept up in each,
we would be nearly sixty years in at

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the oldfashioned castor oil, and
see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to grippe.
If this does not check the bowels give
) Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose of
castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in its incipiency and all danger
avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
and kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
even in cases of cholera infantum. For
sale by all druggists.
