HIS STORY is A TRAGEDY.
SAD LIFE STORY OF WISCONSIN
FARMER WHO HITCHED HIS
CHILDREN TO A PLOW.
LOVEVERSUS INHU MANlTY
August bundles Arm Broken, His Wife
and Horse Sick and Family
Poverty Stricken.

OSHKOSH, Wis, May 26.-Four
children, one of them a girl, stood around
August bundle, their father, yesterday,
offering a bulwark of loyal flesh and
blood to the wrath of neighbors who
branded the man cruel, inhuman and
brute.
bundle was seen, first by neighbours,
then by an officer of the Humane socle1
ty, driving a pillow to which several OF
the children were hitched. The little
ones were harnessed to tho pillow, and
they dragged it like horses. At first
sight it seemed mOnStrous, and the neigh
bors arose in outcry against the farmer
inhumanity.
But they did not know Farmer Dunn
dies story, and, not caring, did not ask
it, His story does not reveal cruelty.
1t is the story of a life tragedy on which
even President Roosevelt and all cham
pions of race increase might ponder.
Farmers Story Is Tragedy.
Reduced to its lowest terms, this is
bundles story, explanation and defense
all in one, as he gave it to a reporter:
Il have worked hard on this farm ell
my life. l have been getting poorer and
poorer every year, and more children
kept coming until the house is run over
with them. But l love them anyway.
Things have come to pretty pass IT 4

Il have been sick and so has my wife
l broke my arm and could not work. L
kept them home from school during the
planting season for ten days. What of
it, Have any of these men around here
raised as many children as | have?
IF a man has got to raise so many
children, what is he gong to do with
them if he is pOOr"
bundle lives near Wooden Shoe alley
five miles north of here. For years stor-
les of his misery have gone round the
tage, which he calls home, is avoided by
children. 1t stands in a secluded cor
ner of the Lake country. The farm is a
patch of black soil backed against a
scattering growth of timber and sur
rounded by prosperous farms.
Misery Reigns in Home.
At the gate a crippled dog met the re-
porter, and, finding no energy to bark,
crept back to a pile Of old bones by the
barn. A woman came to the door, her
arms dripping with s0apsuGS, for AIRS
bundle has to take III washing to help
things along.
She began to cry, and looked nervous
~ across the fields, where bundle was
working Behind the woman two chill
dren played on the floor. The room be-
trayed hopeless poverty. A tiny, tow
headed baby crept from the shelter of
the woOdpile. The woman gathered this
smallest candidate for field work into her
arms and sObbed out her troubles. There
was no word of reproach against her
husband, however.
The children like to work with the
plow," she said. 1T is light, and my
husband pushes it hard"
After some cudgeling of her memory
for ages she gave the following list.
Jonathan, 1 year
Edna, years.
Helen, years.
OTTO 6 years.
Henry, 8 years.
Freda, 8 years.
Fred, IL years.
Elsie II years

,LIs4ED IN RusK couNTY--PAYARLE IN ADVANCE
MUTILATING CEMETERY
A Severe Law Prevails to Pevent It
An Instance Suggests Like
ly Action.

Allen Pippen reports that an elegant
rose, which Mrs. Pippin has planted on
the grave of their daughter in the GEM
etery, has been torn up and carried
away. At the request Of Mr.. Pippin,
the News has looked up the law of Wis
consin on this subject. 1t covers all
sorts of miscreant work in the injnry
and desecration of cemeteries and pro-
vides penalty for such mischief as the
one mentioned of three months in the
county Jail or $10O fine.
1t is beyond conception that any per-
son so dull as is be able to desecrate a
grave could have sufficient finer sent
iment as to be able to appreciate a rose
sufficiently to gather it from the road
side. There are strange mixtures in
the human family and the conduct of
the person who committed the crime in
estion-for it is a crime one of the
strangest.
The law is a good one and should be
enforced.

For the Complexion.

Try this for the complexion, as well
as for the general health. Every
morning, take a pint of hot water,
squeeze into it the juice of one lemon
and season with half teaspoonful OF
salt. Drink slowly half an hour be-
fore breakfast, every morning for two
weeks: keep this up for three months,
every alternate two weeks, and it will
clear the complexion, clean coated
tongue, tone up the stomach and act
directly on a torpid liver, without in
turing the health, as the use of strong
cattartics or quantities Of liver"
medicine would do.

Invading the North.

Arnold Verhyen, who was in the city
from the town of Dewey Tuesday, re-
ports that there are five settlers on the
north side of the Flambeau river in his
town who want a road. If connected
with the Dewey roads, this will require
bridge across the Elambeau. How
ever, these people could be connected
with the county seat by road on the
north side of the river, perhaps with as
much convenience to the settlers and at
less expense. This is an item of coun-
ty business that merits attention.

Keep for this purpose a piece Of

Olive OIL may be used on the eye-
