A TROUBLESOME cUss. ESQ.

A man once resided in Skowhegan,
Maine,
Who during a long life could never
refrain
From comments on follies and sins
of mankind,
To which many people are somewhat
inclined.
Hypocrisy, pretense or lawbreaking
prank
Received condemnation, outspoken
and frank,
And sometimes his comments would
stir up muss;
Then, people would say That's
A Troublesome Cuss."
A call came for soldiers to fight for
the flag
Some men full of whiskey, of buster
and brag
Were jumping the bounty or lodging
the draft
Or piling up fortunes by cunning and
graft;
Yet thousands were flocking to
answer the call.
A leader was sought for, to discipline
all.
They found one, in spite of all red
tape and fuss.
And some people thought him
A. Troublesome Cuss.
The law was defied by the vendors of
beer
(Of Sheriff Goodfellow they had little
fear),
But the people arose, and they made
a square fight
For enforcement of law and for set
ting things right.
There was need of a sheriff who had
a backbone,
Who would execute law if he stood
all alone,
So Neal Dow was chosen. He settled
the muss!
But whiskey men call him
CA. Troublesome Cuss."
Whoever distinguishes wrong from
the right,
| Opposes things evil with all Of his
might,
Who by speech or by pen may at
tempt to maintain
His views on these subjects by ut
terance plain;
If he stands for sobriety, decency
truth,
Deplores all the vices destroying our
youth,
And always stands ready reforms to
discuss
! He is sure to be known as
"a Troublesome Cuss."

Rip Van Wrinkle in the West.

Four weeks in the life of an eastern
town is but a day. The man who
leaves it for a month returns to find
the main street looking as ne left il,
and he would be immensely surprised
to find any changes worth his notice.
But the man of North Dakota who
drove to Antler a month ago would
have found a railroad grade waiting
for the rails and a patch of brown
prairie. with nothing to indicate that

A CLEVER ERENcHMAN.

julie Claretie occupies in modern
French literature a place secure if
hard-earned. The author of some
forty volumes of novels, plays, eau
series and historical works, he is most
proud of his position as director Of
| the Theatre Francois, and with rea-
son, since this institution is the polar
star of every French writer's ambi-
| ton; to have ones play produced in
the House of Moliere is to achieve
| real fame and the substantial things
which usually follow after CIaretie
is the high priest of this temple of
art; his power is enormous Solely
plays shall and what shall not be pro-
duced in the first theater of France.
Jules Claretie wrote his first novel,
Peirrille, when he was twenty-three.
1t attracted the favorable attention OF
George Sand, which meant much for
the struggling journalist. Claretie is
the born newspaper man, and he has
never quite forsaken his first voca-
ton. He was a very able war CORES
pendent and has fine record as a
soldier. He is no longer young; he
was born in Limoges in 1910. He has
lived all his life since boyhood in
Paris. And how he loves the city
which in turn loves him!
His Moliere, His Life and Works
is a monument of classic criticism

Forty Immortals '-which is not per-
haps so much to his discredit as the
late Alphonse Daudet would have us
believe.-Metropoli Magazine.

Rafting on the Wisconsin.

At the mills they made UP the big
A crib was made of boards, say, six
teen feet long, and was built in lay

perhaps a couple of feet deep, all
fastened by long hardwood pegs.
Seven of these cribs made a piece;
and three pieces, side by side, dashed
together by lines fastened to the
boats, made what was called wis

as large as a raft could be and run
safely the various dam and bars and

DIR. r. v. PIERCE GETS VERDICT.
Jury Vindicates '"FavOrite Prescriu-
ton" from Attack of Ladies'
Home journal.

Jury Vipdicates 'EFavOrite Prescrip-
tom from Attack of Ladies'
Home journal.
The trial of the first libel suit grow
ing out of the attacks on patent"
medicines has resulted in a verdict for
the plaintiff. The first case to come to
trial was that of the Dr. Pierce COM
pany against the Ladies Home Journal,
and the jury found the Ladies' Home
Journal guilty of libel and fixed $4,000
as the damages it should pay. A mo-
ton was Immediately made by the DR..
Pierce company to have this verdict set
aside and the case retired the grounds
being that the verdict was insufficient.
This motion is yet to be argued.
The article on which the suit was
based was printed in the Ladies' Homo
Journal, and was to the effect that
the Pierce medicines contained alcohol,
digitalis ana opium 1t was shown
that they contain none of these drugs,
and Mr. Box admitted, on the stand,
that after the article was printed he
had caused analysis to be made by
three chemists and none could find a
trace of the drugs mentioned.
