ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Exchange: There is move
ment among hunters in Wiscon-
sin to obtain legislature next SEES
sion which will require fisherman
as we'll as hunters to pay license.
The hunters assert that as the law
now stands they are now taxed for
the support of game wardens and
the protection Of game, while the
anglers who get the same benefits
pay nothing. They fallto see the
Justice Of the present law by which
those who use the rife and shot
gun are required under penalty to
provide themselves with state IL
censes, while those who obtain
their sport with hook and line
make no contribution toward the
cost of state protection for fish
and game.
Fx.-Them man who wrestles with
the COW and learns the calves to
suck, who casts the corn before
the swine, is now greatest luck;
for buffers on the upper grade,
vea's higher than kite, pork is
climbing up the scale and beef is
out OF sight; eggs he gathers eV-
cry day from his Poland chicken
coop are almost worth their
weight in gold and we are in the
soup. His corn brings him a
fancy price, its rising every day
and he rakes in all kinds of mon
for a half load Of hay The
farmer is in the saddle and when
he come to town the rest Of us by
right go way back and sit down.
Rhinelander Herald: 1t has
been frequently suggested and the
suggestion is a good one, for eV-
cry farmer to place his name and
the name of his farm on his road
gate. Not only would persons
driving to a place more easily find
it. but it would. add more pleasure
and interest to people driving
from place to place. This last re
suit would also have special effect
with regards to we'll kept and
pretty houses. An observing per-
sou will seldom pass beautiful
farm without desiring to know
who is its enrerplisIng owner.
Tomahawk: Young man, the
other day heard you refes to
your mother as the old woman, "
Perhaps you did not mean it that
way, but it sounded coarse and
brutal. No true son refers to his
mother as 1.-THE old woman. "
Quite likely she is old, and gray
and wrinkled out it is also quite
likely that some of those wrink-
les were caused by the long vigils
she put in at your bedside when
youthful ills were trying to claim
You. Mother doesn't like to be
referred to as 1.-The old woman .
1t makes her feel as though she
had run her race and was now
only in the way. The world has
use for the boy who reverences
his mother. The man who Loves

that he wished twenty thousand devils
would fly away with the said Monica,
mother of the holy Augustine, or any
other saint who came between a man
and his meat. Item, that upon
Brother Ambrose reproving him for
his blasphemous wish, he did hold the
said brother face downward over the
piscatorium or fish-pond for a space
during which the said brother was
able to repeat Pater and four AYES
for the better fortifying of his soul
against impending DEATH
There was a buzz and murmur
among the white-frocked brethren at
this grave charge; but the Abbot held
up his long quivering hand. What
then?" said he.
'sItem, that between Nones and
Vespers on the feast of James the
Less the said Brother John was OBJ
served upon the Brokenhurst road,
near the spot which is known as
Hatchett's Pond, in converse with
person of the other sex, being a
maiden of the name of Mary Sowley,
the daughter of the kings verderer.
Item, that after sundry japes and
jokes the said Brother John did lift
up Iuc odIu A1dIy OOMI Icy anu 0l1 IdhC,
carry, and convey her across a stream,
to the infinite relish of the devil and
the exceeding detriment of his own
soul, which scandalous and wilful
falling away was witnessed by three
members of our order"
A dead silence throughout the room,
with a rolling of heads and upturning
of eyes, bespoke the pious horror of the
community. The Abbot drew his gray
brows low over his fiercely questioning
eyes.
"Who can vouch for this thing?' he
asked.
"That can l." answered the accuser.
$50 too can Brother Forphyry, who
was with me, and Brother Mark of the
Spicarium, who hath been so much
stirred and inwardly tt ubled by the
sight that he now lies in fever
through It."
"And the woman?" asked the Abbot.
Did she not break into lamentation
and woe that brother should SO de-
mean himself?
NAY, she smiled sweetly upon him
and thanked him. I can VoUch it, and
so can Brother Porphyry."
"Canst thou?" cried the Abbot, in
a high, tempestuous tone. "Canst
thou so? Hast forgotten that the five
-thirtieth rule of the order is that
in the presence of woman the face
should be ever averted and the eyes
cast down? Hast forgot it, I say?

Il your eyes MSfe upon y our Sandals,
how came ye to see this smile of which
ye pirate? A week in your cells,
false brethren, a week of rye bread
and lentils, with double Lauds and
double Mathis, may help ye to a re-
membrance of the laws under which
ye live"
At this sudden outflame of wrath the
two witnesses sank their faces on their
chests, and sat as men crushed. The
Abbot turned his angry eyes away
from them and bent them upon the
accused, who met his searching gaze
with a firm and composed face.
What hast thou to say, Brother
John, upon these weighty things which
are urged against thee?"
Little enough, good. father, little
enough" said the novice. For the
matter of the ale, had come in hot
from the fields and had scarce got the
taste of the thing before mine eye lit
upon the bottom of the pot. It NAV
be, too, that I spoke somewhat shortly
concerning the bran and the beans.

as well as my monkhood, if I had held
back my hand from her." He glanced
around as he spoke, with the half
amused look which he had worn dur
ing the whole proceedings.
There is no need to go further" I"
said the Abbot. "He has confessed to
all. 1t only remains for me to portion
out the punishment which is due to
his evil conduct
He rose and the two long lines Of
brothers followed his example, looking
sideways with scared faces at the
angry prelate.
John of Hordle," he thundered.
"you have shown yourself during the
two months of your novitiate to be a
recreant monk, and one who is un-
worthy to wear the white garb which
is the outer symbol Of the spotless
spirit. That dress shall therefore be
stripped from thee, and thou shalt be
cast into the outer world without bene-
fit of clerkship, and without lot or
part in the graces and blessings of
those who dwell under the care of the
blessed Benedict. Thou shalt me
back neither to Beaulieu nor to any of
the oranges of Beaulieu, and thy
name shall be struck off the scrolls of
the order.''
The sentence appeared terrible one
to the older monks, who had become
so used to the safe and regular life of
the Abbey that they would have been
as helpless as children in the outer
world. From their pious oasis they
looked dreamily out at the desert of
life-a place full of stormings and
strivings, comfortless, restless, and

at the top, disclosed a round sinewy
neck, ruddy and corded like the bark
of the fir. Thick muscular arms, COW
cred with a reddish down, protruded
from the wide sleeves of his habit,
while his white shirt, looped up upon
one side, gave a glimpse of a huge
knotty leg, SCARED and torn with the
scratches of brambles. With a bow
to the Abbot, which had in it perhaps
more pleasantly than reverence, the
novice strode across to the carved
prie-dieu which had been set apart for
him, and stood silent and erect, with
his hand upon the gold bell which was
used in the private prisons of the Alb
bots own household. His dark eyes
glanced rapidly over the assembly, and
finally settled with a grim and menac-
ing twinkle upon the face of his ac-
cuSer.
The chamberlain rose, and having
slowly unrolled the parchment-scroll,
proceeded to read it out in a thick and
pompous voice, while subdued rustic
and movement among the brothers be-
spoke the interest with which they fol-
lowed the proceedings.
Charges brought upon the second
Thursday after the feast of the AS
sumption, in the year of our Lord
thirteen hundred and sixty-six, against
Brother John, formerly known as
Horde John, or John of Horde, but
now a novice in the holy monastic
order of the Cistercians. Read upon
the same day at the Abbey of Beau
lieu in the presence of the most rev.
erend Abbot Berghersh and of the as
sembled order.
'The charges against the said
Brother John are the following,
namely, to wit:
"First, that on the aforementioned
feast Of the Assumption, small beer
having been served to the novices in
the proportion Of one quart to each
four, the said Brother John did drain
the pot at one draught, to the detri-
ment of Brother Paul, Brother Por-
phyry, and Brother Ambrose, who
could scarce eat their none-meat of
salted stock-fsh, on account of their
exceeding dryness."
At this solemn Indictment the novice
raised his hand and twitched his lip,
while even the placid senior brothers
glanced across at each other and
coughed to cover their amusement.
The Abbot alone sat gray and i'm
mutable, with a drawn face and a
brooding eye.
'Item, that having been told by
the master of the novices that he
should restrict his food for two days
to single three-pound loaf of bran
and beans, for the greater honoring
and clarifying of ST. Monica, mother
of the holy Augustine, he was heard
by brother Ambrose and others to say
