even those at the Marlborough nup-

were limited as to number seemed to
be stimulus for every woman there

that the nations of the earth take pleas

man who has done so much to advance
the cause of peace and has aided 50
materially in bringing his own country
to a position of world-recognized great
ness. For the gifts which have been
sent to Miss Roosevelt are not only a
compliment to this young woman Of
striking personality, but are likewise
a tribute of respect to her father and
to the nation whose head he is.
On the other hand it is a mistake to
assume that it is only because she is

PUPILS SAVED FROM FIRE.
BarabOO High school Building
Burns, with Loss of $4,000.

The lives of many school children were
saved at Baraboo by the prompt action of
the teachers, who cleared the building,
which was on fire. BY the GOODNESS and

dren were safely conducted out of the
burning three-story high school building

might have been serious panic. About
100 made use of the fire escape. The fire
originated from a defective tue, quickly
spreading throughout the building, which
was valued at $4,000 and is a total loss.
The insurance is $4,000
