Girls, Heed this Warning.

Girls, don't cheaper yourselves
by allowing yourselves to be every
boly's p,aything. 1t is all right for
you to have a fellow" and GO here
and there with him, but don't be
every fellows girl, just because he
asks you to be and then imagine
that you will not cheaper your
selves in the eyes of everybody, es-
pecially the young men. 1t is !
laudable ambition for a girl to have
a fellow" and she is entitled to the
best, if she is the right kind of
girl. But it makes no difference
how really good she is, she loses
the respect of everybody when she
gets so boy struck that she cannot
walk down the street without catch
ing on or without stopping to gas
with every lobster she happens to
meet. When she permits such fam
iliarity she loses her dignity, and
that is one Of the rudiments of be-
ing a lady. The average man has
no genuine respect for the girl who
is familiar with all the boys of her
acquaintance and she is the last girl
in the world he would think of
marrying. 1t is really a disgusting
sight to see an otherwise sensible
girl gadding up and down the
streets, gadding with every wart
she meets loafing around the stores
and shops and sponging treats from
all who have the price and the dis
position ito loosen" That girl is
marked for the bargain counter and
when she marries it in invariably
is the last or only chance.

Near Ulrich Eberle's farm

Near Ulrich Eberle's farm a
Highland on last Wednesday a
moving load of hay upon which
two men were riding took fire and
burned, together with nearly all of
the wagon. The men had barely
time to unhitch the horses. The
fire may have been caused from
friction of the wheels or from
lightning, there being a sharp
flash just before the fire was dis
covered in the load of hay.
The law providing that cattle
imported into Wisconsin for breed
ing purposes must be certified to
have been subjected to the tuber-
culin test and free from the disease,
or else must be held in quarantine
until tested, is to be rigidly en-
forced. The state live stock sanitary
board met IN Madison and for
mulated plans for enforcing the
new law. Railroads importing cattle
into Wisconsin are required to file
with the sanitary boards copies of
all bills of lading on such ship
ments. Cattle imported for feedin g
or exhibition purposes are not re-
CURED to submit to the test.

HARD ON INFANTS.
Excessive Heat Causes Deaths and
Consequent Sadness in Two Homes.

The oppressive weather the past
few days is hard upon everyone but
infants are the easy marks and the
little tots require additional care
and attention with lot OF, patience
thrown in these days,
The Herald records with great
regret the deaths of two children
that occurred Monday IN Lancaster:
GEO. r. MARROW.
George Raymond NARROW, aged
five weeks, the bright little son of
DR.. and Mrs. Geo. G. NARROW died
suddenly at about a. m. Monday
morning at the family home just
south of town. The child had not
been we'll for several days but his
condition had not been such as to
excite any apprehension on part of
the fond parents or attending
physician. Sunday eve he appeared
to be better. At a short time before
he passed away coughing or chok-
ing was apparent and in a few
minutes the little spark of life had
flown.
The cause of death is thought to
have been a hemorrhage in the
stomach.
Funeral services were held in the
afternoon and the remains were
tenderly conveyed to Hillside by
the sorrowing parents and COM
pany Of sympathizing relatives and
friends, Rev. Evans officiating.
FLOYD WILLIAM ABRAMS.
A sad surprise indeed was the
sudden death of little Floyd Abrams,
aged 90 months, at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey.
Abrams. One of the brightest ana
healthiest of youngsters, favorite
OF all who knew him, it is blow
hard to bear to learn of his untime-
ly death. His illness was of brief
duration. AT p. m. Monday he
was stricken with the fatal malady
and twelve hours later he was cold
in death.
The funeral services will be con-
Quoted at 2 p. m. today at the home,
Rev. Morgans officiating, and the
remains will be laid tenderly at rest
beside of those of his mother who
passed away shortly after his birth,

A Sad Accident.

John Fahy was drowned in Lake
Winnebago, about twenty miles
northwestern the city of Fond du Lac
on Tuesday afternoon, July 18th.
He in company with five COM
panions left Fond du Lac on the
above date for weeks outing on
the banks of Lake Winnebago
close to the mouth of Mud Creek.
After they arrived at their des-
tination Mr.. Fahy started out in a
row boat alone to catch some fish.
After he had gone out upon the
lake a short distance, his friends
thought that they heard some one
call, and looking toward the boat
they saw that it was empty. They
Immediately rowed out to the boat,
but the unfortunate man could not
swim, and sunk Immediately. Word
was sent back to Fond du Lac

Orders Draw Put IN Bridge.

The latest decision at Washington
is to the effect that the War depart
ment has no authority to allow the
building of bridges across the Wis
consin river, and that the Burling-
ton will have to put in a draw in
its new bridge across the Wisconsin
river, thus making the river open
for the passage of boats. This
matter was brought before the de-
partment last week and resulted in
the above decision which will have
to be complied with. Two boats
have come down the Wisconsin
river this year which have had to
remove their upper decks etc., be-
fore they could go on their journey
causing delay and extra expense.

BARS POSTAL CARDS.
Can No Longer be Used to Describe
Criminals.

Owing to a recent decision of
judge Of a United States court,
police departments are no longer al
lowed to send out postal cards with
the pictures and descriptions of
crooks in an effort to locate Grim
inals and law breakers. The de-
scription, if it is sent, will have to
be sent in some other form. For
years this has been a favorite
method with the police depart
ments, and whenever a criminal
whose description was known was
wanted the country has been flooded
with postal cards bearing the same.
This will now have to be dis
continued, however, and if the
police chiefs want to locate Grim
mails thew will have to send out the
descriptions in some other way than
n postal cards.

Views and Interviews.

''Ill tell you haying now a days is
different proposition from what it
was so years ago when the scythe,
the hand rake and the common
pitchfork were all the implements a
farmer possessed" said one of our
good old rural readers the other
day. Nov they have moving
machines, sulkey rakes, horse forks,
hay tedders and hay leaders, and
the gathering of the hay crop is
really more job of pleasant me-
chanical engineering than of farm
ing. 1t seems, somehow, that an
injustice was done us, in having to
be born and raised on a farm when
farmer boys had to hoe and NOV,
pillow and SOW in the arduous old
style, instead of the fancy fashion
of the present day. Those were the
days that tried the souls as we'll as
the soles Of the barefooted farmer
boy. With blisters and stone bruises
on his feet, with boils and car
buncles on-his humpers-and with
calluses on his hands bigger than
birds eggs, what in life was there
for him? It was painful to stand,
painful to sit and painful to work.
The only comfort he could get was
to 60 in swimming, and the creek
was over six miles away. The cool
rippling water laved his sores gent
ly and there was healing in their
touch. Swimming did not hurt his
calluses OF his stone bruises and the
boils on his back-low down boils-
were really a consolation to him in
stead of torment when the sooth-
ing waters of the creek rolled over
them. Probably the farmer boys
of today know nothing about
blisters, stone bruise, boils and cal
luses."

Hazel Green to Get Railroad.

A meeting was held in Hazel
Green recently to discuss the
proposed extension of the North
western railroad to Hazel Green.
The railroad company stated that
the road would be built, provided
right of way through the village was
granted and the sum of $1,000
donated toward the project. A COM
mittee was appointed to solicit the
required sum. They have been out
for several days and have met with
very hattering success. The entire
amount has been almost raised and
it will be but a short time till the
required sum will be turned over
to the railway company and then
the work of building the road will
be commenced. It is stated that
material is already upon the ground
and Hazel Green will enjoy the ad-
vantage of a railroad before snow
flies.
There is a rumor afloat to the effect
that the line will be extended east
from Hazel Green to Sinsinawa
Mound and from that place to
Platteville, from whence it Will
cross the river and go through
Iowa, connecting with other lines
Of the road in that state. This is
only rumor, however, as no
official statement has been made as
yet.

mists that cannot be rolled away by
any Of the worlds logic.
There are heart-aches and anguish
that no words. however eloquent or
loving can heal.
But some one has sweetly and truth
fully written "When the angel Of
death-the masked and voiceless-en-
ters the door of home, there come
with him all the daughters If COM
passion, and of these, love and hope
remain"
Just now there is an agony of soul
in that stricken home in which all the
community feels keen sympathy.
Hencef nth for Mr. and Mrs. Duncan
the glorious independence day will be
fraught with saddesJ memory. The
years will come and go and their dear
boy will not return. But the dear
love that blessed their lives for twen-
ty-one years remains. Deaths dark
ness was for Jimmie but one brief
faltering step into the highland the
Masters door stands open wide. There
is comfort in the thought that life was
laid down before it became burden,
Corroding care and knowledge of
life's disappointments had not yet
clouded the smooth brow, nor hushed
the merry laugh-joyous gladness-
youths happy heritage was still his.
All who ever knew the boy remem-
Der his happy smile and how the
mother weeps as she recalls those good
night kisses that her boy never grew
ashamed to give. James Allen,
son of Budd j. and Ellie Duncan
was born at Hurricane, Wiscon-
sin, May 4th, 1884. He was the eldest
grandchild in his fathers family and
the only child of his mother until the
coming of little Dorman four years
ago. Consequently he vas greatly
beloved, and he was not spoiled, never
causing the hearts that so loved him
to ache as many an only child has
done.
For two years he had been
in the employment of Mr.. Swift of
Dubuque, and that city's pa
pers say that he was liked by all
who knew him there. But for
his loyalty to his employer, and
his faithfulness to his interests,
he would have some weeks ago, re-
turned to Lancaster and engaged in
business here so as to be at home.
And this unexpected visitation seems
sadder still, when we remember the
message that came to his parents last
winter on New Years day, to come
quickly if they would see Jimmie alive.
He was lying very i'll with pneumonia
at the Mercy Hospital. His mother re-
NAMED with him three weeks. and
brought him home. tenderly caring
for him until his recovery. He had an
attack of the same kind just year
previous and it is thought those severe
illnesses weakened the heart and left
him an easy victim Of the fatal acct
dent that so saddened his friends. So
strange, that he should die thus
with expert help so near at hand.
