There is only one way that you

THE LITTLE
GREEN HAT
By TEMPLE BAILEY
Copyright, 1904, by Temple Bailey

1t was such a beauty of a hat-all
soft shaded velvets and shining breasts,
with a few creamy roses close under
the brim.
You never trimmed anything quite
so lovely as that, Miss Nannie,' said
Josephine.
Miss Mamie blushed all over her del
icate old face.
my dear,' she protested, then she
Strengthened up with little gesture
Of pride, II do think it is a success
myself 1 thought of you when I was
trimming it. Your hair has just enough
gold in it to go with the green beauti-
fully
But Josephine interrupted her. "Oh,
dear Miss Mamie, l can't possibly af-
ford that hat You mustn't think of it,
Put it in the window and sell it to
some one who can have more than one
hat in two years." And Josephine
glanced ruefully in mirror which
showed her shabby black turban, with
a much worse for wear feather. T..
II will let you have it at cost, my
dear,' began Miss Mamie, but Joseph
inc stopped her.
"No, / must get used to being poor,
you dear, and my friends must not
spoil me. But, oh, Miss Mamie, Miss
Mamie" cried poor Josephine, why
couldn't we have lost our money when
I was old and ugly and didn't want
pretty things?"
The little milliner patted the girls
hand. "It is too bad," she said, land
I wish you'd let me help you
GAS if dignantly-"when
you have to do things all your life that
you don't want to do. And now, as
can't have new hat, you must help
me plan something from these old
things" And she united a package
and showed a conglomerate mass Of
silks and laces and ribbons.
But while Miss Mamie twisted and
turned the inadequate materials Jo-
sephine could not resist one more try
ing on of the little green hat. She set it
ON her soft, bright hair and gave a
glance in the mirror; then she whirled
around, with startled cry.
"Why, Jack Van Horn," she exclaim-
ed, where did you come from? Miss
Mamie, you know Mr.. Van Horn, don't
you? I'm trying on hats" she contin-

GAINESVILLE

Theodore Goldin has entered the en-
ploy of the Hayes Bros, contractors, and
will act as their bookkeeper and conf
dental agent.
William Appleby left Friday evening
for Portland, Oregon, where he may de-
eide to buy ranch and settle down. He
became interested in the proposition
while the present mayor of Portland was
in Beloit several weeks ago.
Early eMonday morning or Sunday
night some unknown person entered the
GAINESVILLE Batting company factory, at
the west end of the Fourth avenue
bridge, and for malicious purposes dam
aged the machinery and costly motor to
the extent of about $500. After enter
ing the place the man took crow bar
and deliberately smashed the $3.50 motor
and then turning his attention to the
machinery he place iron bolts here and
there so that when the machinery start
ed it would mean ruin.
In a runaway Thursday morning, a.
year-old Luella Howarth was thrown
from the carriage near the intersection
of North Bluff street and dragged con-
siderable distance by the reins with
which she had become entangled. The
little girl was picked up by one of the
men working on the streets and taken to
Ziegler's store where it was found that
though badly shaken up and bruised,
she had escaped serious injury. Her
father is Charles Howarth, who lives
near Decker's on the Milton road. The
runaway was caused by the collision of a
street car with the vehicle.
Shortly before noon Friday, Beatrice,
the 215-year, old daughter of William
Robinson, who lives in the town of Rock
on the Willis Noyes farm, ran from the
doorway of the Robinson home towards
the barn, full of life and enjoying the
warm spring day. She was going to
help her papa and finding him busy
wandered towards the barnyard. A few
minutes later Mr. Robinson missing her,
looked into the barnyard and was horri-
fed to discover her lying on the bottom
of large water tank. Medical aid was
hastily summoned from GAINESVILLE and
despite the efforts of DR. LOOMS the lit
tie spark of life had departed. There
was but three feet of water in the tank
and it is thought the little one fell in
trying to float some chips.
Judgment for the defendant has been
rendered in the circuit court in the
$4,000 damage action brought by Eliza
beth Hopkins of Footville against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st Paul railroad.
The plaintiff alleged in her complaint
that on Sept Is. 1903, she was received
in one of the defendant company's cars
at Clinton to be taken to Delavan; that
when the train approached the latter
station it slowed up and the arrival at
the station was announced by the prop
er trainmens that as she prepared to get
off, the train in the meantime having
come to full stop, and was about to
step onto the platform of the car, the
train suddenly started again; that the
resulting Jolt threw her to the floor
causing the fracture of the right leg
above the knee and slightly injuring the
hip, shattering her nervous system and
inflicting other bodily injuries.

A Natural inquiry.

This Lincoln story was originally
told by Frederick Douglass in his lee
ture on John Brown. Just after his
first Inauguration President Lincoln
was one day backing his boots in den
ocratic fashion when several foreign
diplomats called and caught him in the
act. One of them remarked sneeringly,
''Mr. President, il our countries the
chief executives do not black their own
boots" Indeed" said Mr.. Lincoln,
with evident curiosity. Whose boots

deed, except that he had complained
of very severe headache that morning.

George Weeks, ex-sheriff of Dane
county and at one time warden at the
State penitentiary, died at his home in
Marshall on Monday. He was we'll and
favorably known to many of our people.
Edwin Shumway and Willard Chip
man were knocked down by team while
returning from church Sunday night,
the old gentleman being badly bruised
but the boy escaping injury. The care
less driver has not yet been discovered.
After returning from church Sunday
evening, Mr. and Mrs FL E Nichols dis
covered that burglars had invaded their
home during their absence, gaining ad-
mittance through bedroom window.
Nothing, however, has been discovered
missing.
Harry Pratt left Monday with his fam
ily and household goods for Rock Castle,
Virginia, where he has bought between
FIVE and six hundred acres of excellent
land. On his farm Harry expects to
raise about the same crops as are grown
in this country, and his tobacco land has
already been prepared by his hired help
on the place.
MIR and Mrs Ed Warren very pleasant

neighbors and friends last Friday even
ing in honor of Mr. Warren's 5Oth Dir tn

guests with fine leather couch and a
handsome rocker in remembrance of the
occasion.
Mrs Fl E Knatvold, mother of Mrs
Albert Kittilsen, arrived here from Ia

Several moulders at the Mandt Wag-

The foreman was dismissed and out OF

and the company will install new fore

considered serious, and will doubtless be
adjusted soon.
Miss Josie johnson, for many years
assistant postmistress at the local Office,
has rendered Postmaster Hanson her
resignation, to take effect as soon as a
successor shall be appointed, which, it is

no doubt, be made apparent in tae not

JUDGE j. q. M'cI1NToN.
An old-Time Nevadan Visits Friends
in Salem.

Judge J. @. McClinton, who recently
visited A. F. Hofer here, was an old
time Nevadan, though for some years
now he has been living at Port Angeles,
Washington. The writer had the pleas
ure of meeting the judge while here,
and he, too, being of the first Matching
Of Usage hens" had a pleasant hour
talking over old times. The judge went
TO Esmeralda, now Aurora, Nevada,
upon the first discovery Of that mining
camp by J. NJ Braly, J. o. Corey and
William Hicks, which followed close
upon the heels of the discovery Of the
Comstock. His fortunes went up and
down with those OF the eamp-but he
was generally successful, and had the
honor of being a member of the consti-
tutional convention when Nevada was
created, and, as far as the writer knows
and believes, is the only living mem
Der Of that body. He also represented
Esmeralda county in the legislature for
number of terms, and his fund of
stories of those earlier days is simply
inexhaustible
Judge McClinton also lived in Vir-
ginia City for a number of years, and
was an intimate friend of Mark Twain.
He said, in swapping stories, that he
met Mark at Port Angeles some years
ago, and the first thing that oldtimer
said, in his inimitable nasal drawl, was
Hello, MeOlinton, you've forgotten
