A FINE CONCERT.

The joint recital to be given by the
two favored artists, Miss Lula James,
the Wausau nightingale, and Mr.
Arnold v d. Aue, the Swiss American
tenor of Milwaukee, in Castle hall next
Thursday evening, is attracting much
interest among musical people of Wau-
sau. Miss James will sing some new
songs, heard for the first time in Wau-
sau. By request she will sing Elsa's
Dream, by r. Wagner and an arie from
the opera Martha.
Mr. V. d. Aue has also selected very at
songs as well German Lieder At the
request of many church people he will
repeat the beautiful song 'The Moth

artists will also sing duet.
Miss Della Thayer, violinist, will
appear on the program. Her number
will consist of, (a) Wieniawski's Mazur-
ka; (b) Schumann's Abendlied and (c)
IL'Abeille, by Schubert.
The two societies "Concordia'' and
LiederkranZ, which will assist, need
no commendation, as their many APP
pearances are well known to the music
lovers of this city.
Mrs. K. V. Speer, as pianist, has es-
tablished an enviable reputation for ar
tistic performance among the people of
Wausau, and the fact that she is on the
program will be drawing card in it
self
For this occasion, no doubt, Castle
hall will be filled 10 It's capacity.

GROUND BROKEN.

A contract was let last Wednesday to
Iiebell Bros. for digging the founda-
ton walls for the new Y. Nj. c. A.
building and yesterday the first ground
was broken From now until the job
is completed the work will be rushed to
have it done before cold weather sets
in. The floor joists will also be laid
and the wall will be allowed to settle
over winter and work on the super
structure will start early next summer.
Some time during the winter, contracts
will be let for the balance of the work.
The building will face Third street and
will set back on the lot about ten feet
from the Grant street sidewalk, allow
ing strip of lawn along that side OF
the building. 1t is the intention of the
building committee to have the struc-
ture completed ready for occupancy by
early winter and when it is finished il
will be one of the finest buildings for
Y NJ. c. A. purreses in the state and 3

NOW IN PASADENA.

Mr. and Mrs. James MeCrossen are
now in their new home in Pasadena
California, at IS North Lake Ave Mr..
McCrossen, in a business letter to the
editor of the PILCT, among other things
says, "9ou see time flies pretty fast.
We left Wausau the fourth of July for
Superior, Everett, Seattle and Port
land, and visited our friends and did a
little business at the same time. We
saw a good deal of the country, but
none better than Wausau We left
Portland the eleventh of September,
and came TO San Francisco, where we
remained day, and such sight we
never saw before. 1t would make a
person sick to look over the burned
district, or the part of it which we saw.
Everything looked so much different
from what it did last March when we
were there. We hurried along to Los
Angeles where we remained two days,
and then came on TO Pasadena. We
call it our temporary home, for Wau-
sau will always oe our real home 1t is
hard for US 10 think otherwise, for we
have so many good friends there. We
are expecting TO see many of our
friends ont here the coming winter
1t Is indeed, very comforting to know
that MIR. and Mrs. McCrossen feel as
they do regarding their old home city,
and 1t is the hope of all that they may
visit here often and remain long when
they do come.

ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
founding of the west side Presbyterian
mission was observed Sunday, services
being held throughout the day. Among
those from out of lOWn who came here
to take part in the services were Rev.
w. o. Carrier, of Waukesha; Rev. Jos.
Brown, of Marshfield, and Jacob Nor
tenson, of Oak Park, Ill. There was a
large attendance at each service and
especially so in the afternoon. Each of
three gentlemen named above and
many others spoke. One of the fea-
lures of the afternoon was the bestowing
of several gifts Mrs. Eva Quaw pre-
sented the mission with an enlarged
portrait of Mrs. Mary Poor, who do
mated the ground on which the chapel
is built and who aided materially in
many ways in the organization of The
mission Jas Montgomery, who has
at va&ous times been superintendent
of the mission, and been connected
with 1t in various ways almost since it
was organized, was presented with a
beautiful bouquet of American Beauty
roses A. II. Clark, the present super
intendent, received a very handsome
bouquet of yellow roses, also bible
which belonged to Mrs Poor Letters
OHeflng nope ana cheer Tor the mission
were read from number of people
who in an early day labored for its sue
cess, but who are now residents of other
states.
The mission was organized while
Rev. j. w. Hageman was pastor of the
local church, in 1881. Sunday school
was first held in an old building stand
ing on the site of the present Anthem
store building, corner of Clark street
and Third avenue Later, services
were held in the engine house. In
1888, Mrs Poor donated a site for a
chapel and sufficient funds were raised
to erect the edifice now occupied This
was remodeled and enlarged in 1891
Through all these years the member
ship has grown from few people until
now 200 communicates of the Presby-
terian faith worship in the chapel.

Extras and Oils always kept on hand

Teach ethics Do not leave this TO
chacce Have regular lessons in right
doing which will develop right think
ing which will promote good order and
good behavior. You are not hired
merely to hold book in your hand and
hear lessons. Any charlatan can do
that You are hired to develop the
child's mental, moral and physical
being An equal distribution of time
on these three branches of education is
the legitimate office of the school
Too much stress is laid upon the in
tellectual development of the child.
Our boys and girls are being forced
intellectually like early cahbages that
burst open at the top. The supreme
test of knowledge is doing. Practice
makes perfect; theory is thin air.
While the American people are the
most practical people in the world and
their schools the very best, still is there
not grave danger that our educational
system is getting little too top-heayy?
Most teachers work too hard. Their
labor is INSTRUCTED Like fussy house
wives they insist upon doing every
thing themselves until they are ready
to drop. Throw the burden of work
upon the pupils, they will rather enjoy
y
for nobler purposes. A good general
fights out most of his battles on paper;
then when the day of action arrives he
is on the field to direct and stimulate
the efforts of his soldiers while they do
the execution. To illustrate You tell
your pupils that the street in front of
the schooIhouse is four rods wide or
that the schoolhouse is 36 feet long by
% feet wide. Not one in fifty will re-
member this a fortnight, but let them
ascertain these facts by actual measure
ment and they will remember it as long
as they live.
Sounds which address the ear are
lost and die in one short hour; they fade
like echoes through the following space
of time, but that which strikes the eye
lives long upon the mind; the faithful
sight engraves the knowledge with a
beam of light"

LINCOLN SCHOOL NOTES.

Vacation is over and we are back in
the school room again for the year S
work. We miss many OF the old boys
and girls who have gone to the high
school and to work and we realize that
our time to go, will come only too soon.
Everything about the building looks
clean and neat. The lawn seems even
more beautiful and the play grounds
more attractive. Rooms E, +. g, H, l.
j, X and the kindergarten are over
crowded. More seats have been put in
some rooms. The upper rooms are not
so crowded.
Last week was bad one for broken
windows. Two were broken by base
ball. The boys are now hustling around
to pay their share of the damages. We
are not punished or even scolded when
an accident of this kind happens but
those who are in the game chip in and
pay for repairs.
The girls aud boys of the Lincoln
building are carrying on out dooI
basketball. The boys play in the morn
ing and the girls in the afternoon.

ECHOES FROM SCHOOL ROOM.
BY PHIL. o. soPHER.


Boese beispiele uerderbel g,tte sitten. Evil
Communications corrupt good manners.
The best way to have order is to be
orderly yourself Many teacher is
scolding herself while she is talking to
her pupils. Children are great MIN
icers. This is fine trait in human
nature Your school in time will be an
exact reflex of your own character,
habits, disposition Or weakness. AS a
rule, however, teachers do not stay
long enough in one place to make any
considerable impress upon the life and
character of their pupils. You are the
sculptor, and | might say model; they
are the clay. You can mould them
TO suit yourself even as God made
Adam in his own image. They will
take after you while you are taking
after them. Like the man who licked
his boy for smoking while he himself
had a pipe in his mouth. Said he,
while he laid on the rod, 'I'll teach you
how to smoke" and he did. We teach
more by example than by precept. The
children watch your every move. You
are the target of a hundred darting
glances and the sounding board for
many listening ears. Plato's pupils
were nearly ali stoop-shouldered.
Guide well your actions and do not let
your tongue run away with your
thoughts. First of all see that the
children are comfortable No child
can be orderly under disorderly condi-
tions. Then make a good program and
follow it religiously DO not deviate
from it so much as hairs breadth.
Children like system and take especial
pride in being orderly. What 10 do merit
is the saving grace of the school.
Ii is not necessary TO call the classes
at the sound of a gong like a fire alarm,
nor to call or dismiss school like a
house afire Let the clock speak. You
are in your place at the appointed time,
| let them be in theirs. The train starts
according to the schedule; those who
are not in their seats are left behind.

good sized potato, is as hard as rock,
and weighs IL ounces. On the larger
end, the place where the potato was
attached to the vine can be plainly
seen. There is also mark on one side,

A GOOD RESOLVE.
A Palestine Lawyer Sets Example
That other Smokers Would
Do Well TO Follow

One of our most prominent lawyers
has made a resolution that he recon-
mends to other smokers, without ask.
ing any fee.
For years he has been smoking ten
cent and fifteen cent cigars and often
without getting one that was satisfac-
tory. When in the Bratton Drug Co. s
store a month ago, they recommended
sc cigar. Wadsworth Bros Chicos,
and the result is that he has resolved
to buy no other cigar. for he knows
that he is getting a better cigar than
he has heretofore bought.
Other smokers should follow this ex-
ample. The wadsworth Bros. Chicos
is made from the best Havana tobacco.
not favored or doctored in any way,
and is better than cigars that are usu,
ally retailed for double the money.
Drop in at the Bratton Drug Co.'S to-
day and get a Chicos.

THE PRICE PAID
FOR GREATNESS
HOW A SMALL VILLAGE is STRIV-
ING TO BE GREAT INVITED MUL-
TlPLIED TROUBLES.

Special to the Herald.
Berlin: Nov. 22.-The Strasburg
newspapers tell an amusing story at
the expense of the authorities of
small village in the grand duchy of
Baden. These worthless, it seems, full
of local patriotism, were anxious to
show at the recent census a population
of over 1000, but the minutest prelim-
mary count failed to raise the total
over 993. AS the village is located in
an out-of-the-way corner of the grand
duchy, the chance of the desired total
being made up by an odd visitor or
two and few tramps was considered
extremely remote, and the burgomas
ter was in despair. In the nick of
time, however, band of gypsies ar
rived, who brought up the total to
1905.
Never were gypsies made more wei
come. Used as they were to harsh re-
Bluffs, the swarthy wanderers were be-
wildered by the receipt of all sorts
of pleasant attentions, and proudly the
villagers saw their hamlet inscribed
on the roll of places of more than 1000
inhabitants"
But sad awakening was in store |
for them. A new law was passed in
Baden increasing the fiscal RESPONSE
bilities of places with population of
1000 or more, and so the villagers
found themselves saddled with taxes
which, but for their unfortunate local
vanity, they would have escaped. |
There was the inevitable revulsion of
feeling, and the burgomaster's lot has
not been a happy one since.

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH.
Cure catarrh by Breathing Hyomei
Sold Under Guarantee.

The only scientific and common
sense way to treat catarrh OF the nose
and throat is by a local application
that will kill the catarrhal germ.
Ordinary stomach dosing is worse
than useless. Taking medicine into
the stomach to cure catarrh of the head
can have no good effect, and often
leads TO serious arrangement of the
digestive organs.
The breathing of Hyomei three or
four times daily through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, its medicated, healing air pene-
trates to the most remote parts OF the
nose, throat, and lungs. searches out
and kills all catarrhal germs. and
soothes and heals any irritation in the
mucous membrane.
Bratton Drug Co.'S faith in the won
derful merit Of Hyomei as a cure for
catarrh is shown by the guarantee they
give with every Hyomei outfit that the
money will be refunded unless the
treatment gives satisfaction.
A complete Hyomei outfit. consisting
OF pocket inhaler, bottle of Hy-
omei and a medicine dropper. costs
but 81. extra bottles of Hyomei, if
needed. 80 cents. Bratton Drug Co.
give their personal guarantee to re-
fund the money If Hyomei doeg not
relieve, so that you run no risk at all
in buying this reliable remedy.
