April, how old are you ?''
An older sister asked her young
brother who had just come in from a
drive of six miles, with his father, and
mercury 16 degrees below zero, ''Are
you cold dear ?'' The youngster, with
the utmost look of disgust on his face,
hesitated for moment, then in great
sarcasm, simply said, cam I?"
A little hamlet, between Wausau and
Stevens Point, that recently assumed
some popularity, has in its day, passed
through several soul stirring epochs;
the latest interest extended to this Sec
ton, was the robbing of large number
of sacks of flour and feed, from car,
that had been set in, for one of the ex-
tensive lumber firms operating there.
Some crafty fgurer saw fit To make the
raid, succeeding in thus purloining or
borrowing, whichever way they might
choose to consider it. Possibly these
parties have not as yet learned that
the way of the transgresser Is hard"
We have read that about Mineral
Point and Plattville, when the farmer
and his wife need little extra spend
ing money, he goes out to corner of
the farm and commences to dig for
mineral, he soon secures enough TO
make their desired purchase, it being
a veritable banking institution In the
town of Knowlton it is just little diff
ferent. There is one farmer, especially,
who simply puts on his skies, walks out
over the snow banks, to the ''back 40,"
where he has previously set number
of traps and there finds one or more
wolves, caught fast, waiting for their
captor. During this winter, he has
secured seven of these snarling animals,
which means the snug little sum of Sl6S
for Mr.. Farmer and trapper, his farms
proving somewhat of wolf mine.
A prominent physician, also being

PULLED OUT.

The Fox River Valley Racing circuit
was organized Friday at d meeting held
in Fond du Lac Sheboygan, Fond du-
Lac, Washington, Winnebago, Outa-
gamie and Waupaca counties were rep
resented at the meeting The latter
three were members of the Central cir
cult at the time of the meeting in this
city two weeks ago, but evidently were
dissatisfied with their dates. The Fond
du Lac Reporter says:
''The sentiment was in favor of hav-
ing as high if not larger purses than are
being offered by the Central circuit. =
1t is thought that New London
and Appleton, although a part of the
Fox River Valley circuit, will benefit
considerably from the Central circuit.
Their pulling out will considerably
shorten that organization, and the horse
owners will take advantage of the APP
pleton and New London races"

VALENTINE PARTY.

On Wednesday evening, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs B. Heinemann,
the Misses Dorothy Heinemann, Nina
Kickbusch, Emma Pardee, Margaret
Dunbar and Della Thayer entertained
a number of young ladies and gentle
men at valentine party. The first
part of the evening was spent in play
ing hearts. The highest scores were
made by Miss Nell Dunbar and Clyde
Osen. Those present then wrote an
original valentine: each young lady to
one of the young men present whose
name had been previously drawn, and
the young men to the young ladies
present, whose names had been Sc
cured in like manner. The prize
was awarded to Miss Gertrude Arm
strong. 1t was an evening of great
pleasure to all in attendance.

CIRCUIT COURT.

When the Pilot went to press last
Tuesday, testimony was being taken in
circuit court in the case of the State OF
| Wisconsin VS. Richard Lambrecht.
During the morning session Lam
brachts attorney argued the point that
the circuit court had no jurisdiction in
the matter inasmuch as the defendant
had been bound over to that court after
his appearance in municipal court for
examination. When testimony was in
troduced by the state in the afternoon,
Lambrecht's attorney again raised the
question of jurisdiction with the result
that the defendant was discharged. He
was Immediately re-arrested and
brought into municipal court, where he
was bound over for examination Feb.
2Sth, his bond being fixed at 81 800
We understand that petition will be
circulated for signatures to a request
for pardon of Louis Peneau, who was
implicated with Lambrecht in the
alleged robbery and who is now serv-
ing sentence after pleading guilty to
the crime.
After Lambrecht had been discharged
the case against George Andreas was
taken up. The defendant was charged
with having used indecent and obscene
language in the presence of his daugh-
ter. He was discharged because of the
complaint being defective
Next came the case of the State of
Wisconsin VS. John Petarski, who was
found guilty and fined $40 and costs.
Petarski, who lives near Hatley, was
charged with assault and battery, but
was found guilty of assault only.
Stephen Shattuck, charged with burg
larry, did not appear for trial and his
bond was declared forfeited Shattuck
formerly lived in Edgar. About two
years ago his wife brought suit for
divorce, but when the case came up for
a hearing it developed that divorce
could not be granted because she was
his common law wife, marriage con-
tract never having been entered into.
A little later a committee made diVis-
ion of their household goods and prop
erty, but the division did not suit Shat
tuck, and it is alleged that during his
wifes absence he broke into the house
and removed more goods.
An assault and battery case against
Chas. Wood, of the town of Brighton,
was settled by the defendant paying a
fine of 81 and costs.
An adjournment was then taken to
Monday morning at ten o'clock.

BROUGHT DOWN A WILD CAT.

Johnnie Fromm aged IL years, of the
town of Hamburg, shot and killed
wild cat on Wednesday morning. He
had seen the tracks of the animal, so he
put some meat in the vicinity, to which
the cat made visits each day. Johnnie
at last got sight of the cat and brought
him down at the first shot from a little
22-calibre rifle. hitting him in the eye.
The cat weighed is pounds and meas
ured three feet. His father, Fred
Fromm, brought the pelt to the city
Friday and secured the bounty, which
is 5000. There have been good many
wild cats up in that section this winter,
so Mr.. Fromm informs us, and quite
a number have been killed.

LONDON. May 1s.-What remains OF
the famous Crowland Abbey in lincoln
shire, one of the sights OF the Fen coun-
try, which Is annually visited by hun
dreds of American tourists, is threatened
with speedy collapse, unless funds can be
obtained to repair it. Owing to the SUBJ
sidence of the foundations, which are
built over q bed Of peat, the north wall
of the Abbey Church has buckled and
cracked, and extensive underpining viii
be necessary to prevent 1t from falling.
Of the once vast pile Of buildings,
there are now left only the northwestern
tower, the ruins Of the nave and north
aisle, which is used SIS the parish church,
but these remnants are Of singular beauty
and would be well worth preserving II
only for the historic associations which
cIuster around them. The Abbey was
founded in 7o6 4. D., by King Ethelbald,
who endowed the monastery royalty. For
a long time it prospered, but with Peter
borough, was destroyed by the Danes In
$40, and many of its inmates were killed
There were only three monks left there
when Thurketyl set about his great work
Of restoration. Thurketyl restored the
monastery to more than Its former condi-
ton of prosperity and left large COM
uaunity there provided with an ample In
come. his successor added g chime OF
bells, and from them, It is said, were
ruug the first peal ever heard In England.
In 1921 the abbey was burned down,
bat was rebuilt In 111s by Abbot Jofdd,
whose begging appeals in those old days
met with much more generous responses
than have been accorded those of the
present rector. This JoRnd was 3
scholar as wen as something OF q hnan-
cier, and with bis monks, set up "houses
Of Learning at Cambridge, which
proved the foundations Of Cambridge
University. The Abbey suffered from an
earthquake IN lila snd was burned down
again In las, but was once more re-
built on q scale Of still greater mag
nthcance. It Is matter Of record that In
1889, the income Of the Abbey amounted
70 $500, 900 o year. The place came in
for a share Of Crcmwellis iconoclasic
attentions In 1913, and since then, until
within comparatively recent years, moth
ing has been done to check the ravages
Of time and decay.
The Rev. T. B. LeBouf was installed
as rector In 1884 with the magnificent
salary Of $50 year. Bis life there
has bean one long, pathetic struggle to
keep The old ruins standing. In that
period he has written no less than IL 40
letters appealing for money for that pur-
pose. Now, aged and inHrm, such work
e beyond his strength, and unless relief
comes from sources which he Ii unable
to reaeh personally, the remnants Of the
grand old edihcs win soon tumble down.
