THE DOLLAR GONE TO STAY.

There was a man not far away
and he was wondrous wise; he
marked silver dollar and gave it
all to Lie; she went to see the
butcher and she blew it all in; it
wasn't long before the dollar came
back again. He took it to the
merchant and bought dress for
Jane, before the week was gone,
back it came again; he spent the
coin in his native town full fifty
times or more but he always got
it back again and spent it DER and
DER. But when he sent the dollar
off to a mail order store, it was
gone forever and he never saw it
more.

wilson of Wisconsin DAVIDSON
and Governor Johnson of the adjoin-
ing state of Minnesota are of Scandi-
navian blood, but Governor Johnson
has the advantage of being eligible for
the presidency, while Governor David
son could never be president, as he is a
native of Norway. He was born in
Sogn in 1854 and came To- America ut
eighteen years of age. When he reach
ed Madison, Wis, he was practically
friendless-a total stranger, with
debt for his passage over staring him
in the face. The first summer he work
ed on a farm. Then he learned the
tailors trade, which he followed for
few years. Next he became Il clerk in
store, and five years after landing he
opened a general store of his own at
Soldiers Grove, Crawford county,
which has since been his home. He
prospered, but in 1888 incendlarles de
stroyed his store, entailing loss of
$4,000 above all insurance. In spite
of this heavy setback he rebuilt his
store. His energy and industry were
in due time rewarded by substantial
business success, and then came his
political career, when his championship
of the interests of the people as against
those of the corporations led to his ad-
vancement to his present post OF honor.

prose, but all showing that the ladies
had been doing something the last few

given by Pearl Darling, which was very
good. Music was next on the program
and this was given by bevy of young
ladies playing a medley upon combs.
A duet was sung by Rensley Holden
and Ventry Hisey, both of whom have
good voices. A song by a lady quar-
tette was very nice the voices being
those of Stella and Eva Francis, Rhea
Hisey and Ina Palmer. An encore
was also sung. A duett by Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Newell was much appre-
ciated and closed the program, and the
experience social. Proceeds of supper,

And show that none her task should shrk,

Two aprons made for twenty pence

Twas great surprise To find so much
But stingy husbands beat the Dutch.

And Mr. Griswold paid the dime,

preventing the fire from spreading to
adjoining buildings. The cause of the
fire is unknown, but it was first discov.
cred in the bean picking department.
