A Little Girls Essay on a Cow.

"A cow is an animal with four
legs on the underside. The tail is
longer than the legs, but it is not
used to stand on. The cow kills
flies with her tail. A cow has big
ears that wiggle on hinges; so does
the tail. A cow is bigger than a
calf, but not SO SO big as an eleph-
ant. She is made SO small that she
can go into the barn when no one
is looking. Some COWS are black
and some hook. A dog was hooked
once. She tossed the dog that wor-
ried the cat that killed the rat.
Black COWS give white milk, SO do
o.her COWS. Milkmen sell milk to
buy their little girls d1esses, which
they put water in and chalk. Cows
chew cuds, and each cow finds it's
own chew. This is all there is about

SHOT AT AUTO DRIVER
Frank TregO, Cuba City Miner, Has
Close Call From Sudden
Death.

Frank Trego, a mine owner of
Cuba City, had a close call from
death one day last week. A farmer
fired revolver at his head and the
bullet passed through the crown Of
his hat but did not injure him.
From the particulars as learned
from gentleman who resides in
that vicinity it appears that Mr..
Trego was riding through the coun-
try near Cuba in his automobile,
with two friends, when a farmers
team was met. The horses became
terribly frightened at the machine
and the driver, who is we'll known
farmer Of that community, called
out to Mr.. Trego, who was driving
the machine, to stop until he got
his horses under control. The
driver of the auto paid no attention
to the farmer, but came ahead, the
machine making a terrific noise.
The horses dashed to the side of the
road and became entangled in a VIII Q
fence. Trembling with fright and
anger the farmer drew a 38-caliber
revolver and emptied the gun at the
reckless and selfish driver of the
automobile. One bullet took effect
in Mr.. Trego's hat, tearing a great
hole through the crown and knock
ing it from his head: Had the bullet
passed two inches lower Mr.. Trego
would have been dead man.
After the shooting the party con-
tinued on their way as fast as their
machine could carry them. The
b arrowing experience will un-
doubleday be lesson to them, and
when they meet another farmer
with fractions team they will
doubtless exercise more care, and
display little common sense.
The farmer was not injured in
the runaway, but his horses were
severely torn by the barb wire
fence. 1t was said that Mr.. Trego
would arrest and prosecute him for
shooting, but nothing has been done
in that direction yet, and the mine
owner is evidently satisfied with
escaping with whole skin.

CANTATA PLEASES.
Little Folks Entertain Large Audi
ence and Swell Fountain Fund.

The cantata given by the juvenile
class OF amateur actors and actresses
at the opera house Friday eve was
one of the most enjoyable events of
the season and the close attention
given the little tots throughout was
clear evidence of the appreciation
shown by the large audience present.
The affair was given under auspl-
ces of the Ladies of the G.. A. R.
and the receipts, amounting to about
$50, go to swell the fountain fund.
Great credit is due Mrs. r. B.
Sho walter and the ladies who as
sisted her in training the children,
and the ept manner in which the
latter followed instructions is also
very creditable. Several mothers
should also come in 1or praise on
account of the dainty costumes ar
ranged for the occasion. In all, the
cantatta was excellent from start
to finish and many people are
clamoring for reproduction of the
event. This is being considered and
It may be placed on the boards later
Tor the benefit of those who were
unable to attend before and also
those those who wish to witness it
again.
The Ladies of the q. A.. r. are
very grateful to everyone who as
sisted in making the affair sue
cess. They now have over one half of
the $500 necessary for the fountain.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
A Few Points Concerning the Fifty
Grant County Fairs.

The Grant County fair had it's in
ception at Beetown, in the spring
of the year 1856. An association
was organized there, and fair was
held at Lancaster the following fall.
1t was held on or about on the
ground were the residence Of S. R.
Greene and the adjacent buildings
stand. 1t is impossible to give my
figures as to the financial success
OF this meeting, as the records have
not been preserved. The venture
must have been favorably received,

trouble and is now prepared to

however, from the fact that a
second fair held the next year on
what was then known as the Burt
farm, in the north part of the city.
A few years later the central
portion of the present grounds was
purchased, and work upon it COM
menced. Capt. Vinegar, the veteran
horseman, laid out the first track
and graded it with a scraper made
OF two oak planks. Mr.. Vinegar is
now over seventy years of age, but
is still training horses and is as
eager to drive in race as ever. 1t
Was he who first made record for
the track with German Boy, a horse
we'll known in this section of the
state score of years ago. Prior to
his coming the track had been
merely plowed course, where
grass grew during the summer
until the heavy, old fashioned
sulkies wore it down.
The earliest financial reports
which are on file in the office of the
secretary date from the year 1864.
The receipts from the sale of tickets
for that year were $46S.65, for the
year 1868 $4,000 and for the year
1902, when the receipts ranked low
among those of recent years,
$1S75.S5.
Many of those who purchased ad-
mission tickets to that first fair will
attend the fair this year. Some of
those who attended fifty years ago

STEALS A WATCH.
COlOred Crook Attempts Nicely
Planned Theft.

A cleverly planned theft of the
watch and chain of E. j. Walton of
this city was thwarted by quick
action on the part of the owner last
Monday morning. Mr.. Walton had
left his tailor shop over the Barnett
Jewelry store to go on an errand
down the street He had been gone
perhaps five minutes when someone
on the street told him that couple
OF men were looking for him to
have some work done. He went
back to his shop, and on the stairs
met couple of doubtful looking
strangers, one of whom was of a
distinctly Ethiopian cast of counter
ance. Mr.. Watton's first thought
was for his watch, which he had
left in his vest in the stop. AS soon
as he got into the shop he looked
for the watch, but could find no.
thing OF it. He told the two men
that he had lost his watch, but they
loudly protested that they knew
nothing about it, offered to let him
search them, and even offered to
call the police for him, Mr.. Walton
then sewed up the rip in the coat
which was to be repaired, after
which he stepped to the foot of the
stairs and called Chief Budworth,
and together they searched the two
men, but with no gratifying results.
The negro they searched the most
thoroughly. He wore two pairs of
trousers, shirt, vest and coat, but
had no watch. In his pockets were
found whiskey, cards, dice of the
variety known among the colored
brethren as craps" and little
small change.
After satisfying himself that the
watch was not upon the person of
either Of the men, the officer al
lowed them to 60 back to the fair
grounds where they were employed
by some of the horsemen as stable
boys. He and Mr.. Walton than
searched through the garments in
the shop, around the hall and even
around the adjoining grounds,
working on the theory that the
thief had anticipated the search and
had thrown the watch into some
corner where it could be gotten
after dark. Their search awaited
them nothing until Mr. Walton
looked in box full of old papers
which stands in the hall, and deep
down under the papers in one
corner of the box he found the
watch with the fob or chain nicely
wrapped around it and covered with
cloth sack.
The marshal and sheriff then
went to the fairgrounds and Sc
cured the pair, as no one else could
have been in the shop during Mr..
Watton's absence. The white man
claimed that he knew nothing of it,
as the negro had gone up alone in
to the shop. The negro was ar
raigned before a justice, and con-
! fined in the Jail pending his hearing,
which will be held on Saturday.
He gives his name as Harry Fields,
and the authorities are quite certain
that he has just finished a term at
Waupun. A revolver was stolen at
the Platteville fair and the circum-
stances were such as to warrant
suspicion of this same negro, but
the evidence found was insufficient
to justify his detention. A blanket
was stolen sometime on Sunday
from stall on the Lancaster
GROUNDS and was afterwards found
in the stall where the man Fiel Is
was working; but it was returned to
the owner and nothing was done
toward Furnishing the culprit.

Views and Interviews.

August Kohlenberg, Drexel, Mo.
A corn year down in our country
means much to the world for we
have monstrous corn crops down
there. This is corn year and we
have fine crop. Why, to show
you about the size will just relate
an Incident that one of my neigh
bors figured in. An enterprising
farmer, wishing to utilize every
foot of available space, planted
corn on the roadbed of an abandon
ed switch which lay parallel to the
main tracks. A few nights ago a
high wind blew down one of the
stalks across the main track. The
far-sighted engineer of the through
train approaching discovered what
he thought was huge bowlder IN
the way. and halted the train at a
distance of several hundred yards.
The obstacle proved to be an ear of
corn which required twenty men to
remove it.

that he does not tramp from town to town he
fain would have believe, in his eager attempts
not to find work but travels in state, curled up
the trucks of the Pullman aStrde the freight
bumper or in the dim light of the empty box-car.
Yet it is strictly of the comfortable zone
that we think of him, and we should no expect
to find him in the far North than we should
humming-bir golden-wnged butterfly, or
any other pampered favorite of the Yet to
the far North he goes and indeed has been found
there of late in increasing numbers
The pioneers, no doubt, who deserted
from whaling vessels, with the tramp instinct
who had been impressed on whalers when drunk, or
had shipped with the idea that whaling easy
lne and then finding their mistake impelled by
the instinct which makes their sort blndly seek to
move on, have deserted. Recruits since have come
to the fraternity from the weakwilled and the lazy
who in the latter-day rushes have managed to get
to the mining camps OF the extreme Northwest.
At any rate there they are and there they make
themselves at home, subsisting, as in fairer chimes,
through the lenien good nature of their telowmen.
Men of the MANIFESTATIONS who spend many
years at Point Hope and Point Barrow, and who
also know Eastern Siberia through exploration and
the purchase of reindeer and furs there, tell many
interesting stories of the antics of the tramp fra
ternity in these regions. 1t would seem that the
tramp, resourceful as he is would not be able to
live through the long Arctic winter if it not for
the sagacity of the Eskimos They, like the esoterc
Buddhists and some other people, look beyond the
plain matter-of-act, everyday things of this life
for the explanation of what they cannot under
stand.
The Eskimo fathom the queer antics
of the tramp than he those of the idiots of his
race, and he classes the two together. No
one he argues, would start out journey without
outfit, tramping north into the frozen wilderness,
if he in his right mind Therefore, he gravely
asserts that the tramp is kukoeiIoao (crazy), and
entitled to the immunity and protection that he
grants to crazy people The lunatie, he AYERS,
lives bodily in this world but his mind is in the
world of spirits and is directed by them, hence the
kukoaOHo7O must not be interfered with.
So the Arctic tramp may dwell with the tribes in
their gloos acquire wives and feast literally the
