STORY OF A LIFE TRAGEDY
Accused by Neighbors of Cruelty, He

Oshkosh, Wis.-Complaint has been
made against August bundle, farmer
living about FIVE miles southwest OF
Neenah on the line of the Oshkosh &
Neenah Interurban, that he has been
hitching four of his seven children to
corn pillow or cultivator and COM
pelling them to drag the implement
through ten-acre truck garden, while
he guided it and drove as he would
drive horses.
This sensational complaint is found
ed upon facts, as farmers in the vicin-
ity and persons from Oshkosh riding
along the highway in carriages and
automobiles have witnessed the prac-
tice.
The attention of the authorities has
been called to the matter and after
securing substantiation of the facts OF
the case DR.. Wilkie, of this city, agent
of the Fox River Valley Humane So
ciety, went to the farmer and COM
PEELED him to send five of the children
T.. school. OF the seven children five
are of school age, whom the farmer,
it is alleged, was rearing in ignorance.
None of them is able to read or write.
The majority are girls The oldest
one who was hitched to the pillow is
not over IA years of age.
Dr. Wilkie stated that the pillow has
harnesses attached to it which were
put about the shoulders of the children.
The farmer says the corn pillow or cul-
tivator is very light, and was used
merely to stir up the top SOIL
When newspaper correspondent
visited the farm, four children, one of
them a girl, stood around August Dunn
die, their father, offering bulwark
of loyal flesh and blood to the wrath
of neighbors who branded the man
cruel, inhuman and brute.
bundle was seen, first by neigh
hors, then by an officer of the HUI
name society, driving pillow to which
four of his children were hitched. The
little ones were harnessed to the plow
and they dragged it like horses. At
first sight it seemed monstrous, and
the neighbors arose in outcry against
the farmers inhumanity.
But they did not know Farmer Dunn
dies story and, not caring, did not
ask 1t. His story does not reveal
cruelty. 1t is the story OF life trag-
edy on which even President Roosevelt

, The French women do not take to
mannish styles in dress as do the Eng
lish and Americans Whenever they
adopt anything that borders on man
nishness they are sure to modify it
with little feminine touches. And the
combined effect Of severity and CO.
quetry is, we must say, both Frenchy
and attractive.

From the time of Joseph's interpre

remarkable fascination for mankind
Passing strange are their prophecies

these come true, as is often the case.
BY what mystic power are dreams
enabled to project the visual sense
through space, to lift the curtain that

Quite often dreams foretell disaster.

Birds Talk Over the Phone.

The well-known animal trainer
Frank c. Bostock not long age
owned two birds. a cockstoo and
macaw, which struck up .
wonderful affection for each other.
That the love took a deeper hold
on the cockatoo. which was a
female, circumstance afterward
seemed to prove.
The lovers had perches c,ose to-
gether. The macaw was an inces-
SAINT talker, and the cockatoo an
equally good listener; hence there
were no family jars. The macaw
found his delight in preening his
gaudy plumage before his affec.
tionate companion, and in telling
her that he was 1t" when it came
to the macaw family; all of which
the gentle cockatoo seemed to be-
lieve and delight in; for she was
clearly enamoured of the gaudy
wesket" of her associate.
But the exigencies of business
separated the lovesick pair, the
macaw being sent to Detroit, while
the cockatoo remained in Cleve-
land.
The faithful female lost her
appetite, the daintiest titbits she
had ever known failing to tempt
her. She literally, to all appear
ances. was dying slowly of broken
heart.
One day Mr.. Bostock had the
cockatoo in his arms, in his Office,
when the long-distance telephone
bell rang, and he soon was talking
with his representative in Detroit.
1t SO happened that the macaw
was in the Office at Detroit, and
with the words that came
over the line, and high above
them, was its discordant clatter.
The cockatoo futtered her wings,
struggled i'll the arms of her
owner, and looked everywhere for
her lost lover. There could be no |
she had heard and re-
coGnized the voice of her dear one.
But to put their suspicious to
he proof, paper cone top was
astened over the mouthpiece at
ZACH end of the telephone, and
hen the birds were brought up to
hem to talk to each other.
Such another chattering aud
conference as was held then it is
afe to say never passed between
lovers before nor since.
The delight of the cockatoo was
veil worth seeing. What the
.audy, feathered lover may have
aid to his faithful mistress only
orld be guessed at; but it no
oubt set everything straight, for
he Cockatoo consented to eat her
reakfest that morning, and took
p the burdens OF her life cheer
Illy after that.
Whenever she seemed down
earted, they would bring her up

Or awhile with the macaw; which

the laborers along the water front
wore ''bare skin" clothes-that is, bare
human skin; now they wear a blue
garment. She described her first trip
up the sacred mountain of Nikko, and

beheld. She also told of the poor
railway accommodations of the coun-

was jammed into n railway seat be-

when they became sleepy, used her
