The First Kiss.

Where the pretty girl who edits
the Louisville Lyre got the idea is
not known when she said 1.-THE
greatest surprise to the girl who
gets her first kiss is that it has no
taste to it," However, an old bache-
lor in the western part of the state
roars back: mo taste to 1T? By
the great hen feather in Cupid's
dart, the girl must be color blind in
the palate. They tell us, those who
have tried tive haven't-that it
tastes like double distilled essence
of honey spread on pumpkin pie.
Away back in the dim and joyful
years long ago, before we lost our
teeth and our cinch on the beauty
prize, the prettiest girl in all the
world told us that it felt like
covey of frightened quail flying out
of each ear, and ended up with a
sensation similar to that which
might be produced by a flock of
angels pouring a golden stream of
molasses down ones back. No taste
to a first kiss! Great Scott? 1t would
make wooden Indians hair curl"
The question is if the Tyre speaks
from experience, what kind of a
galoot was it that gave her that
counterfeit kiss.

Away MOnday-Mrs. Walker
Dead Mr.. Walker and Daugh-
ter Badly Injured.

Monday afternoon while on their
way home from this place Alex.
Walker, his wife and daughter were
the victims of what proved to be a
fatal runaway for Mrs. Walker.
The team which Mr.. Walker was
driving was young team and
in some manner took fright
and became unmanageable. Miss
Walker jumped out of the back end
of the wagon and sustained severe
but not serious injuries. Near the
home of Hy. Heileger Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker thrown out and the team
broke away from the wagon. 1t is
supposed that Mrs. Walker struck
on her head and she was uncon-
scious when she was taken into the
Heileger home, Mr.. Walker was
run over by the wagon and received
several bad bruises. A physician
was summoned to attend to the in
Juries of the victims and Mr.. Walker
and his daughter are doing nicely
but his efforts in Mrs. Walkers
case were of no avail and she died
from her injuries at o'clock Tues
day morning. It was a most de-
plorable accident and the sympathy
of everybody in this community
goes out to the afflicted family.
LATER-The funeral of Mrs.
Walker will be held either Thurs
day forenoon or afternoon at her
late home with burial at the Dyer
cemetery. Rev. Sprague will
deliver the funeral address.

Prairie du Chen Hard Hit.

Sunday nights storm of wind,
hail and rain was the worst ever ex-
perienced in the city. It lasted only
ten minutes but the damage cannot
yet be estimated as wires are down
and the roads almost impossible.
At Wauzeka nearly every window
light on the north and west side of
buildings were broken, trees up
rooted and small buildings blown
down.
The hail laid the crops fiat and
beat them into the ground and a
strip about half mile wide and
five miles long, ten miles east of
the city is utterly devastated. The
hail was large and thick and the
cloud that carried it seemed to be
less than 800 feet from the ground.
One and eight-tenths inches of
water fell according to the official
Indicator in this city, during that
brief time.
In the city telephone and tele-
graph wires suffered, trees ten to
fourteen inches were snapped off,
windows blown in and cellars
flooded. Box cars were driven with
the storm on the track and; two
drownlngs are reported but cannot
yet be verified.
The Mississippi and Wisconsin
rivers which were at standstill
Saturday and Sunday are again
rising and indications are that they
will rise many inches. Several boats
were found adrift on the river OPP
posite the city but no fatalities from
them have yet been discovered.
Old settlers say it was the shortest
and severest storm ever witnessed
here.

nation. The color examination is

| Another case where it pays to
deal with home merchants has been
brought forcibly TO view by a large
number of farmers in the county,
who recently contracted the seasons
clip of wool to travelling agent.
The agent, we understand, obtained
many contracts for the wool at
twenty-five cents a pound for the
clip. Many signed these contracts
and will have to deliver the wool to
him while home buyers are paying
thirty cents pound or five cents
more than was contracted by the
agent. Those who did not sign the
contracts have the pleasure of re-
ceiving the top market price.
The children's day exercises at
Pine Knob last Sunday afternoon
were attended by about one hundred

schools of the Rowdon and Graham

ated, and notable feature of the
program was the prominent parts
taken by several young men and
young ladies. Over 5000 was taken
as an offering toward establishing
Sunday schools in the needy dis
tricts of Wisconsin. There is quite
a religious interest at the Graham
school where Sabbath school is
maintained every Sunday through
out the year under the superintend-
ance of W. FL. Graham and where
Rev. W. J. c. Ralph breaches every
alternate Sunday afternoon, quite
a number of young people attend
and have formed themselves into a
choir to furnish music for the
preaching service. The Rowdon
Sunday school is maintained
through part of the year under the
leadership Of Mrs. Slosser.

The Locusts.

The neutrality-suspicious. are SO
called because they make their ap-
pearance every seventeen years.
AS sure as we are that the sun
will rise tomorrow, as sure are we
that seventeen year hence, not one
year sooner nor one year later, the
locusts will come again.
Their coming, their long absence,
their existence in the earth, is all a
great mystery, a mystery almost as
great as life itself. The locust has a
shell watch he throws off and leaves
behind HIM. Within the next few
weeks you will behold an increas-
ingly large number of these shells
and will mark the increasing volume
of the locusts' chorus, for they have
a chorus as merry as the tree frogs
and not radically unlike it.
The locust has failed to show
cause why he should be- treated as a
welcome guest. Coming in great
swarms he will devastate the fruit
orchards and leave behind him a
path of wreckage neither relishable
or profitable. What good does he
do us, besides supplying food for
thought, is yet as mysterious as the
manner of his earthly existence.
For the present, at least, we may
learn punctiliousness from the
locust. One could not be better
tutored in the art of keeping ap-
pOintments.
