TO THE SPELL OF DRESS.
Tribute Paid by Famous Writers
and Philosophers to
Fashion.

Jane Austen wrote to her sister In
1914: II have determined to trim my
lilac sarsenet with black satin ribbon,
just as my China Grape is, sixpenny
width at the bottom, threepenny or
fourpenny at top. Ribbon trimmings
are all the fashion at Bath. With this
addition it will be very useful gown,
happy to go anywhere"
Emerson quotes, with admiring SUBJ
mission" the experience of the lady
who declared that "the sense of being
perfectly well-dressed gives a feeling
OF inward tranquility which religion
is powerless to bestow."
So the clever woman and the philos-
opher, says Youths Companion, pay
their tribute to the spell of dress.
Any woman who has qualms of con-
science at the amount of time and
thought she must give to her clothes
may gather cheer from the innocent
pleasure so genuine q nature as Miss
Austen's found in the simple task of
making gown happy to go any
where" The woman who has COM
passed the art of making that kind of
a gown has done herself a large serv-
ice and the world no small one. We
should have admired" to see Miss
Austen attired in the lilac sarseret
with the black satin ribbon. We may
be sure that not only was the gown
happy to go anywhere, but that the
wearer was happy in it, and that this
company was happy to have her.
A gentle word, a charitable act. a
difficult sacrifice are each more easy in
a well-ftting and becoming dress. Per-
haps it may be a sign of our servitude
to earth that this should be so; but
while we live here we are bound to
look facts in the face, and cherish the
ideal of the happy" gown.

WILL BUILD RAILROAD.

We learn from good authority that
during the coming summer an extern
sion of the St. Paul railway VIII be
built from the town of Hewitt to the
village of Kelly. This will give lumber
companies now operating in Hewitt a
much shorter haul for the logs that are
shipped here than is at present obtain
able. The branch will also open up a
good lumber and farming country
Several companies are getting supply
of logs from the above mentioned town.

KENNEDY CORN Frs.

VIM. Ventzke's mill is running full
blast with supply of logs to last two
months yet, and the logs are first quail
itys composed of rock elm, Eastwood
and some nice pine.
We had in this berg, last week, a
regular hold-up. Two boys of the town
OF Easton, as we have been informed,
met man on the road and knocked
him down, went through his pockets,
took what money he had, but we did not
find out how much the amount was.
We saw the man in Wausau last Friday
looking for the sheriff, so we suppose
the robbers will be brought up before
the court this week.
1t is getting pretty lively in this town
and no street cars yet. We have been
waiting patiently for the tinkle of the
bell and the sound of the conductors
voice saying, call aboard for Washing
ton street,
We have all been waiting for spring
which was promised some time ago;
that is, we of the corners did think it
was a sign to see Mr.. Head sending
loads of peas out this way to sow, but
there are no peas sown yet and from
present appearances there will be a
good deal of logging done yet as the
roads are as good as any time this win
ter.
And by the way we are getting up
here at the Corners, what is called W
E. Brown clubs, that is they are made
out of certain kind of elm that grows
in this ninth district, that is we keep
them up our sleeve so as to have them
ready for this congressman that thinks
that farmer does not know anything
about voting We will admit that they
don't know much, that is those who
vote for the likes of him, but, neverthe-
less, we would like to have a vote to
make Chris. johnson postmaster of
Merrill, for we know him to be an hon
est man, and we know he was once a
democrat and there might be little in
his bones yet.
Farmer boy was asking some ques-
tons this week about the Marathon
county fair, but will not tell him any
more yet for while; well, then, he
says, what is all this fuss down at Mad
ison, at the university about, but we
said to him this is nothing but deal.
Henry's brother-in-law who fed one of
the COWS they have down there, Protene
and Albumenoids and lot of other
Latin names, and the milk was so sweet
that he drank forty-two dollars worth
OF it in one month, and Mr. Folk,
of Monroe, heard of this and he
thinks there must be leak there some
where, and | guess he is going to send
for Mr.. jerome, of New York, and in
vestigate, and / am pretty sure that
they will find leak, one that could not
be stopped with solder iron.
But leaving all jokes aside, they are
having quite time at the experiment
farm at Madison, but we are in hopes
they will be like the Kilkenny cats, that
they will card each other until there is
nothing left but the tails, and then we
will 60 down with the club which we
have up our sleeve for certain con-
gresham and kill the rest. We think
this would stop terrible big leak, that
is, for the whole state of Wisconsin.
But this boy wants to know what
they are doing down at Madison with
all those lat lambs and sheep they are
selling in Chicago. But we will have
to tell you next week.
Yours truly,
JOHN II. KENNEDY,
Town of Wausau

Well fed appearsng man, was in the

a big blaze sprung up in the church

discovered that a mischiveous gang of
boys had started bonfire, the material
for which had been accumulated by
taking the hay from the wagon boxes.
He straightway squashed the rash
Tovement, brushed the Sabbath, and
entered the church, soon after the re-

hess of the Sabbath evening. The
