Every one who has lived south

SimOn's master rode on horseback a
little distance behind the coach, and
as they approached railroad cross

drive calmly before passing train

ONE EFFECT OF The AUTO.

A gentleman living in the northern
part of the county informed the secret,
airy of the fair association that some Of
his neighbors would not attend the coun-
ty fair unless they could get ride with
some one who owns horses which are
not afraid of automobiles. He said that
there are many farmers who are afraid
to drive to town because they might
meet automobiles, and he thought il
might affect the attendance at the fair
An article is going the rounds of the
state press which bears out the stale
ment of the Reviews informant We
quote from the article as follows:
Through fear of meeting an auto
mobile many persons are tlmid about
driving horses on the public highway" ="
I'm conversation with prominent
farmer Of Dodge county, a few days ago,
we We're informed that he seldom or
ever left home now, with his team, be-
cause he was afraid of meeting ANTONIO
bles. He said his wife could hardly be
induced to get into buggy for the same
reason. We have heard much more
talk of the same kind and in our opinion
it is only question of time when the
farmer and the city man will clash,
and clash hard on the question of pos.
session and use of the highway. As a
matter of absolute necessity the farmer
must use the highway for hauling his
produce 20 market and bringing from
that market the things he needs. On
this point he has the advantage of the
automobile owner, who uses his car
mostly for pleasure. Plymouth Re

MAY GET OUT ON PAROLE.

Anton Katenbrun, Il native of st.
Nazianz, who was committed to the
hospital for insane at Oshkosh over three
months ago wrote to Atty. Cratic re-
Gently, requesting him to make an et-
fort to secure his (Kaltenbrun's release
from the hospital. The attorney wrote to
the state board of control asking that tine
kaltenbrun case be Investigated. A let.
ter from the superintendent of the asy-
lum to the board would lead one to be
leve that kaltenbrun may be released
before long. The letter is rs follows:
Winnebago, Wis, Sept. 2G, 1907.
Hon. Herman Grotophorst

Dear Sir Yours asking for Anton
Kaltenbrun is at hand. Mr.. Kaltenbrun
wat admitted here AugS, 1907. He is
man, "A German, sc years of age. He is n
machinist He is mild pleasant man.
He takes kindly to the life of the hospi-
tai Mentally he is somewhat confused
Il portion of the time. He sometimes
talks in rambling inconsequential man
ner. He has not been very greatly de-
ranged any of the time but says he was
run down before he came here and he re.
allied at times he was not himself. He is
quite tractable here. He is always smiling
and good natured and has improved con
siderably, both mentally aud bodily. He
has gained seven pounds in weight since
his admission. Mr.. Kaltenbrun is not par
ticularly anxious to leave the hospital
for he has never requested me to let him
90. He told me that the Manitowoc sher-
itf stated to him when he was leaving
sheriff when he wished to get out of the
hospital so one day he says he wrote the
sheriff and the sheriff gave the letter to
u lawyer. 1t seems he has had n sweet
heart for the last five or six years and
she has been to see him lately and think
it is probable that the sweeeheart's talk
has caused him to write to the sheriff and
temporarily he had desire to leave, He
likes to talk about his sW eetheart in II
foolish way. 1t is probable that be could
be paroled before a great while, especial
" If there IL some one who il interested
in him. { apart from financial considera
tions) and will look after him. OF course
you know the crowded condition of this
hospital and the constant efforts make
for people to get away Every patient we
can parole is always relief to MS am
sure if you come here and talk with Mr..
Kaltenbrun yon will conclude that he is
impaired mentally and is a suitable per-
son for treatment and the declaration
thst he was sane at the time of his com
mitment entirely .unfounded.
Yours respectfully,

WENT HOME FOR WARRIOR.
Dog Evidently Had Reasoned Out the
Situation.

G. b. Shockley, who lives across the
river, was recently plowing in some
new ground near the edge of the river
hills, says an oklahoma correspondent
of the Kansas City Journal He was
accompanied by a half-grown shepherd
dog The dog in hunting went over
small hill and soon came kiting back
with a coyote close to his heels. See
ing the man the coyote ran back and
the dog plucked courage to follow.
Out Of sight OF his master he weak
ened and came back over the hill with
the coyote after him. This was re-
peated several times, to the amuse.
ment Of Mr.. Shockley, who offered
neither counsel nor assistance, mean
ing to see how the dog would figure 1t
out. He had not long to walt. The
dog sat down and seemed to think over
the situation, and then started for the
house on a keen run. He was back In
very short time, accompanied by a
big dog whose reputation as coyote
fighter was established The young
dog led the old one over the hill and
soon the coyote had disappeared.

Used PIow on Shlpboard.

A common, everyday farm plow was
used in unloading the cargo of the
Ammon at San Francisco. The entire
hold was filled with / 500 tons of inter,
which had frozen into one solid mass
and very hard. Explosives could not
be used. and picks and shovels were
too slow. AS joke a bystander sug-
gestcd they better use plow. The
captain, however, decided to try the
plan, and bought a good sized plow,
and by means Of block and tackle
and steam winch pulled 1t back and
forth the length of the hold. The
plow loosened the inter as fast as a
big gang could shovel ii into the steel
buckets. This is probably the only in
stance on record where ships cargo
was discharged in this way.-Popular

"BLEST BE THE TIE"
How the Familiar cld Hymn Came 10
Be Written.

Not one in thousand OF those who
sing that good old hymn "Blest be
the tie that binds" knows the history
of its homely origin. According to
the Church Eclectic, 1t was written
by the Rev. John Fawcett, who in the
latter part OF the eighteenth century
was the pastor of poor little church
in Lockshire, England. His family
and responsibilities were large, his
salary was less than four dollars a
week In 1772 he felt himself Obliged
to accept call to London church.
His farewell sermon had been preach
ed, six wagons loaded with furniture
and books stood by the door. His
congregation, men, women and chill
rem were in an agony Of tears. Mr..
Fawcett and his wife sat down on
packing case and cried with the 9th
ers. Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said.
"Oh, John, John, cannot bear this!
! know not where to go," Nor | eth
err" said he, nor will we go. Unload
the wagons and put everything back
in its old place" His letter of accep.
tance to the London church was re-
called and he wrote this hymn to com
memorate the episode.
