We clip the following from a
GAINESVILLE correspondent to the
Milwaukee Sentinel dated March Is.
There is perhaps no woman who
has been in closer touch with the
blind of this state than has Miss
Elizabeth Curtis, matron of the
State Institute for the Blind. Miss
Curtis is just recovering from Sc
rious illness, and is about to COM
plete her twenty-sixth year as ma
iron. Originally a resident of
GAINESVILLE, she went to the River
Falls Normal school nearly thirty
years ago and was teaching there
when called to the Institute for the
Blind. Of late years Miss Curtis
has had direct charge of the little
children and her love for them and
their appreciation of her care and
attention have been touching"
E. L. Cook, justice of the police
court at Madison, N. j., fined two
women $40 for carrying concealed
weapons, the concealed weapons in
this case being the women's tongue.
One woman charged that another
woman called her names" The
justice advised them to settle the
case and endeavored to make them
shake hands. Instead they both
gave him tongue 1ashing" and
called him several names" He
promptly fined them $40 under his
own complaint of the section of the
statutes which relates to concealed
weapons. We think if the women
should appeal the case they could
get the verdict set aside by leading
that a woman's tongue is no. a CON-
cEALED weapon-unless she has the
1ockjaw.
Mrs. Tozer is having her four cot
tages finished that were begun last
fall at Ilwaco Springs. She will
have nine of these cottages for rent
this summer. Accommodations will
| be better than ever this season and
a large patronage of resorters to
this romantic spot is assured. In
two barns there will be stalls for
about twenty horses. Mr.. and Mrs.
George Pratt will reside at Ilwaco
Springs this summer to attend Wis
itors. They will keep cows and be
prepared to furnish fresh milk and
butter and Mrs. Pratt will probably
do baking for those in need of her
services in this line. Mr.. Pratt will
cultivate a garden to supply fresh
vegetables. Ray Williams has hired
Oak Leaf Cottage at the Springs
and about the first of June he will
put in stock of such merchandise
as those who resort at the Springs
either for a brief visit or for an out
/ ino of several weeks will have &C.
