another a sore finger, another sore
head, and still another a lame back,
which looks like a lame excuse. Now
boys, come out like men and ackuOwl-

WALKS
Mineral Point Making Extensive
improvements in This
Line.
WORKING ON HIGH STREET
Long Lines Laid on State and
Chestnut Streets.

The work of laying cement walks,
which was so we'll begun last year,
has been taken up with renewed vigor
this season, and long lines of good
walks are being laid. A. S. Hawley
of Baraboo has the contract from the
city, and he has already laid side
walks on State and Chestnut streets,
and now has a large force of men at
work on High street. The line now
under construction will extend along
the south side of High street and the
west side of Commerce street to the
depot. a good many private walks
have also been laid by Mr.. Hawley
and other contractors.
Cemeut walks are the cheapest and
best walks and they are being laid
down all over the country.
The Chippewa Times, which is pub
lished up in Chippewa Falls, where
lumber is cheaper than it is in Miner
al Point, says;
"The council has condemned large
portion of the old walks, and the peo-
Pile have gone to work checrfully to
making cement walks. The move is
certainly in the right direction, a di-
Iapidated and broken board walk
even in the residence portions of the
city is not in keeping with the pro-
gressiveness of the city of Chippewa
Falls, and does not indicate the pub.
lie spiritedness of its citizens.
The board walks are slippery after
the least rain, and where they are the
least sloping it is impossible to pass
over them at such times without dan
ger of falling. In wet weather they
are but little better than the ground
for the mud is carried to them from
the crossings and it is impossible to
keep the footing.
Cement walks cost more, but once
they are properly built, they will last
till destroyed by an earthquake or
some other calamity. They are there
fore convenience, beauty and a
saving in money.

Manners, but that does not help the rest of us. In a short time I presume shall be on the county. If you had married Dan Martin, as I wanted you to, I would not be facing this terrible situation, but you always were headstrong, and my whole life has been sacrified to the eff fort to raise you as your dear dead mother would have had me.

 The letter covered five closely writ ten pages, and Annabel read 1t through twice with firmly set lips and dry eyes. Then very deliberately she put on her coat. hat and gloves and went out for a long walk in the snowy park, where motor cars filled with fur clad figures flew past and laughing children pelted her with harmless balls of feathery whiteness. It was a glorious day. and when she came back to her dingy hall room she was smiling and the hard

The comparison with last year is not so much to the discredit of this year when 1t is remembered that more than $1O,O00,OOO of the money embez- zled was taken by three men-one in Chicago, one in Philadelphia and one in Cuba, the agent of New York house. Tn each of these three eases the figures represent the total of many years of stealing which was discovered only this year. It Is unfair to charge 1t all against the year 1906.
 A better comparison will be made with the years 1894 to 1897 In 1894 the embezzlements, etc, amounted to s25,234,112, and for the next three years averaged over $10,600,OoO a year. The special reason for the losses of 1884 was the consequences of the panic of the year before, but 1t must be remem- bered that the money In banks at that time was only about half as much as at present. If the percentage of loss Is considered, the year 1906 is distinct ly better than 1895, 1s96 or 1897. al- though the loss in dollars is greater than any year since 1894.

 Columbus Ga, Dec. 30 .-(Speciai ) An attemNt was made to hoax d Columbus newspaper yesterday with a report of the fake" wedding of a prominent young couple of Girard, Ala, and had it not been for the inves- tigation of a reporter in seeking to verify the article, the couple would have been subjected to cruel embaF" rassment.
 The account of the wedding. which was quite elaborate, was neatly writ ten in a lady's handwriting, and gave full details. including a description of the house decorations and the bride 2 costume It seemed to be matter of-fact report of bona ide wedding, but the fact that no name was signed tn the article prompted an investiga- tion. The minister who was repre- scented to have performed the ceremony was more than surprised when ques- tioned over the phone, the young lady who rendered the wedding march so beautifully was likewise astonished. and the parents of the young lady not only denounced the report as false. but felt outraged that so serious matter should have been made the subject of a hoax.
