BETTER QUARTERS.

The local lodge of X. P. have in con-
temptation plans for fitting up fine
hall In the present quarters. If the
plans under way go through, about
$4,000 will be expended in making it
the best arranged and equipped X. P.
hall IN the state outside of Milwaukee.
Things are in such shape at present
that no details can be given, but it is
likely that the work of Encouragement
will begin at an early date.
A special train has been chartered for
next Thursday evening, when about
100 of the members, together with about
twenty five candidates for initiation
will fall in line at the hall and march to
the Northwestern depot, where they
will board the train for Amigo. There
will be delegations present from other
cities and degree work of the order will
be exemplifed The Wausau candi-
dates will be initiated at this meeting.
Every member is expected to be at
the hall at $50 o'clock and the train
will leave Wausau at 600. Two stops
will be made between this city and
Amigo, at Hatley and Birnamwood, for
the purpose of taking on the other
members of the order.
The local lodge has in contemplation
another new feature, to. be brought out
an early date-that of organizing uni
form rank. Few lodges in cities the
size of Wausau have this rank, SO if
such organization is made, here, the
Wausau members will be taking very
progressive step. The Knights of
Pythias is one of the growing orders of
the day and the local branch is one of
the healthiest lodges in the city.

Quaw, the commission appointed some
time ago by the circuit court to make
an appraisement of certain lands in the
town of Texas which the Wisconsin
River Traction and Power Co. desire
as right of way, have made their re-
port. They visited the lands On the
18th of February, but held their report
until recently. They made the follow

Men who know the character of land
in that section consider the above
figures fair and equitable appraise-
ment. The St. Paul Ry. Co.'s tracks
now run through the lands and the
portion the Wisconsin River Traction
and Power Co. desires for right of
way is parallel with the ST. Paul Co.'S
track, cutting off strip of but fifty
feet. None of the owners appeared to
make any protest. They have the
right to appeal from the appraisement
within a certain time but it is not
likely that they will do so. Gaulke,
we understand, was thu only one who
offered any serious protest early in the
proceedings. This action viii open up
a way for an electric line between here
and Merrill without any further
antagonism, for the company has filed
deeds for nearly all, if not all, of the
remaining right of way.

be every chance for her to make her
self conspicuous and ridiculous If she
has mind to.
Her hat, which was perchcd on top
IF an enormous pompadore, was of the
most fy-away order. 1t had so many
wings on it that it is wonder it did
not fly off her head.
Her waist was a cheap white lace

Her skirt was of thin black material,

was her business costume.
Every man she passed stared at her

glances were not those of admiration.
Her clothes We're conspicuous, un-
ladylike and unbecomlng.
It's bad plan to buy thing just
because it happens to be stylish. The
wise girl chooses what is becoming
and sets her own styles.
When she can have but limited
wardrobe it is great mistake TO have
her things so conspicuous that every
one will get to know them. The last
thing a well bred woman wants to be
is conspicuous. Loud dressing is al
most as bad as loud behavior.

How a porcupine Fights.

A dog never attacks porcupine but
once. If he survives. the lesson is
enough to make him wise In the way
of porcupines ever after.
Ordinarily, and when at ease. the
quills and hoary hair of the porcupine
lie fiat upon his back, but when an
gered he 1ristles up, and every part
OF him, even to his toes and the tip of
his nose, is protected by the armament
of sharp quills. His plan of lighting is
wholly on the defensive, and so de-
structive Is his veritable bayonet line
to the attacking one that even the
bear, the panther and the lynx viii
not molest him.
That is why the porcupine knows no
fear, and why he comes abruptly into
camp and calmly investigates things.
ffe has yet to learn that man and his
unarring rifle are far more deadly than
even barhed and poisonous quills.--
