LINCOLN SCHOOL NOTES.

Drawing stands, which are a great
improvement over those formerly used,
are being made in manual training by
the boys of room A.
Instead of the usual two pianists
there were three last week. Veneta
Beck in the morning and Lawrence
Bernhard and Alma Peterson in the
afternoon.
The travelling library has again been
welcomed into our building and each
room was glad to receive its allotment
of books. We regret that we cannot
have more.
Hattie Felbaum, Elsie Priebe and
Anna Rockenstein entered the I'M
graded room last Monday morning
The two former had been attending st.
Stephens school.
The ladies of the Literary club ex-
tended an invitation to the rooms of
our school to visit the art exhibit in the
Spencer building on Third St., Friday
afternoon. The children were very
much interested in the pictures and no
doubt protited by it.
The upper rooms had speech, Mon
day afternoon by Mohammad Ali. a
Hindoo. He spoke about the habits,
customs and education of his people.
The talk was intensely interesting and
much more instructive than any geog
raphy lesson could be.
Whips are very much in vogue. Not
inside of the building however, but on
the play ground. 1t has taken the
nature of the game of ball which was
recently carried on between the chill

antagonists. 1t is rather difficult to
decide which has the advantage the

both were usually on hand when punt

badly smashed. They are both on the

Earl Lake is deserving of considera-
BILE credit. With five days practice in
the position he played quarter back in
the Tomah game without tumble, and
helped to win from Stevens Point. His
skill as a drop-kicKer ought to place
him on next years team.
The games were as follows:

ANOTHER BIG HORSE BULLETIN,

Bulletin No. 141 of the Wisconsin ex.
pertinent station entitled 1.-The Horse
Breeding Industry of Wisconsin," is
now ready for distribution, free OF
charge to residents of the state. This
bulletin which is profusely illustrated,
comprises some 100 pages, and contains
in addition to much important reading
matter complete directory of owners
of licensed pure-bred, grade and cross
bred stations. 1t discusses fully and
impartially the results of the enforce

by the last state legislature, points out
good and poor features of the law and
suggests amended or new legislation
required for further progress in the
same direction.
AS one of the chief objects of this bull

on horse breeding matters throughout
the state, and thus continue the good
work begun by Bulletin No. 1877, which
dealt with the principles and practice
of horsebreeding, it is hoped that every

THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL TEAM, '06.
Last Saturdays game closes another
foot ball season for Wausau high school
The spirit of hard, determined work,
which brought US out of defeat at the
hands of heavier team and hostile
referee in this last game, has character
lied our team during the season.
When school opened, and muster of
foot ball material was called, the show
ing was not very hopeful All the back
field of last years eleven, with the
exception of Jones, who played a part
of the time at full-back, were gone.
The line was in fairly good condition,
however, so that the largest problem
was the selection of a quartet of backs
Captain Scholfeld was moved from
end to left half, where he played with
dash and vigor in our first two games,
but sustained an injury to his knee in
the Tomah game which kept him out
of the remaining games, to the loss of
the team. "Harve" is a strong defen-
sive player, clever at following his in
reference, and a great help as field
captain. Jack" Mormon was picked
for right half This was his first year
on the team. A good base allplayer,
his skill at handling and passing the
ball was in evidence, and he is a heady
player
John Kuhlman was selected for an
end at first, but later took the place of
Scholfeld at left half. 'Coolie'' is fast
and hard to find when running with
the ball. Rather too nervous for back
field position, he kept himself well in
hand during the games, and for a first
year player showed remarkable devel-
opment. Merritt Jones is line Tucker
of peculiar type. His speed when
hitting the line is not fast, but his re-
markable faculty of keeping his feet
enables him to MAKE long gains when
we'll supported. His work shows the
advantage of two years previous play
ing, and full-back position was easily
his place.
Arthur LaMotte, the 40 pound quar-
ter back, began the season by brea king
a collarbon at Amigo which kept him
on the side lines until the last game.
Art earned his position by his facility
in handling the ball, his certainty in
catching punis and his speed with the
ball. This is his first year on the team,
but he had played on the second team
for two seasons.
Arnold Wegner played strong, sure
game at center. His work in blocking
punts was fine and no fumbling ever
resulted from MS passes. he was
bnlwark of defense, as he was last year,
and the line loses a good man when he
graduates. Wegner was supported by
German on the right aud Campbell on
the left Pat German, though not a
heavy man, made up by hard playing
what he lacked in beef When we say
that he made hole for Jones touch
down, we have told a good deal about
him. Campbell is guard of the heavier,
slower type, who has profited by his
first year on the team and viii make a
great linemau next fall.
Karl kraatz and John Stuhlfauth
filed tackle positions full" Kraatz's
punting was always reliable and he is
one of those players who gets in every
pay. "Stoolie" had to learn tackle
position, having played guard last fall,

New md Old Rnnk Bills.

According to the Washington Post,
quoting a cashier, bank officials do not
prefer fresh new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said cashier. ut is a
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. As
a matter of fact, nine cashiers out Of
every ten try to get rid of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
it. There Is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
er. Frequently the ink is not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle a great deal Of money. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world to make
mistakes with new bills when in a
hurry to relieve long line of waiting
patrons. When possible we give out
the new bills during hours when there
is no Iush I'd rather pay out mil
lion old bills than hundred new
ones"

king was accustomed to fire with his;
own hands, the ashes being afterward:
carried home by the people for good:
luck. Louis XIV. was the last king:
who did his part. A mysterious item;
of earlier times was the burning in the;
bonfire of barrel, bag or basket full
of cats. The registers of Paris show;
that a hundred sous were paid to an:
official for having provided during:
three years Q571-73) "all the cats re-:
quired, as usual, for the fire." and also:
in one year, when the king was pres:
ent, "a fox, to give pleasure to his:
majesty and for having provided a;
great bag of linen in which the said;
cats ware."-London Chronicle.

Ristori's Too Grateful Soldier.

During Ristori's first engagement at
Madrid an elderly woman one night
gained access to her dressing room and
tearfully begged her intervention on
behalf Of her son, a young soldier con-
demned to death for serious breach
of discipline. At the close Of the per-
formance Ristori was presented to
Queen Isabella, made the required ap-
peal and obtained the young mans
free pardon, perhaps because 1t gave to
the queen the opportunity Of mot
that she was certain the actress had
never before played in tragedy with
such happy ending. Some years later
Ristorl again visited Madrid. During
the first performance a soldier among
the audience made a disturbance, was
elected only after severely damaging
a number of policemen and was sub
sequently sentenced to long term Of
Imprisonment. He proved to be Ris-
tori's former protege. who, hearing Of
her return, had come to the theater in
order to renew his expression of graft
tude. Unfortunately lie had drunk her
health too enthusiastically beforehand,
with the result that he finally owed
her not only his lifr. but free board
and lodging for several years into the
bargain.-London Truth.

STRENGTH OF CHARACTER.
1t Combines Power of VIII and
Power of Self Restraint

Strength of character consists of two
things-power of will and power of self
restraint. 1t requires two things, there
fore, for its eXistence-strong feelings
and strong command over them. Now,
it is here we make great mistake. We
mistake strong feelings for strong
character.
A man who bears all before him, be-
fore whose frown domestics tremble
and the children quake, because he
has his will obeyed and his own way
in all things, we call a strong man.
The truth is he is weak man. 1t Is
his passions that are strong. He that
Is mastered by them is weak.
You must measure the strength of a
man by the power of the feelings he
subdues, not by the power of those
which subdue him, and hence COM
posure Is often the result Of strength.
Did we never see a man receive a
fagrant insult only growing little
pale and then reply quietly? This is a
man spiritually strong.
Or did we never see man bearing
hopeless, daily trial remain silent and
never tell the world what cankered his
home peace? That is strength.
He who, keenly sensitive, with many
powers Of Indignation in him, can lie
provoked and yet restrain himself and
forgive-he Is the strong man, the spir-
itual hero.

THROWING THE DISCUS.
Methods of the Grecinn Athletes In
Homeric Times.


Discus throwing was refined form
Of hmling the stone. In Homeric
times, and even at Olympia, stone or
mass of iron was first used for the
purpose. This was held by leathern
thong, swung in circle and hurled as
far as possible. A circular or lentic-
ular disk Of bronze was used at least
as early as the beginning of the fifth
century.
A standard weight must, of course,
be assumed for the great games. A
discus now in the British museum,
which seems to have been used, weighs
II pounds 0 ounces, but whether this
was the standard weight or not is not
definitely known.
The thrower took his stand upon a
slight elevation of limited circumfer-
ence, where he could have a secure
foothold and was prevented from run
ming. Then, win a swing Of the arm
and corresponding movement of the
whole body, he hurled the discus as far
as possible.
The value of the body movement was
recognized by the sculptor Myorn in
his famous statue, "The Dlscobolus,"
and is understood by the modern ath-
lete when he swings the hammer or
even when he makes drive at golf.
