RIGHTS OF SMALL BOYS.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
The traditional right of small boys
the world over to climb trees has been
judicial. recognized by the Mississippi
court A Mississippi youngster climbed
an oak tree through which passed an
electric light Wire The wire WAS not
properly Insulated and the boy came
H. contact with 1t and received severe
injuries. An action was brought
against the company for damages and
the court found IN the boys favor, The
court held that the company was 1T
fault in stretching an uninsulated wire
through the tree, particularly as II mad
numerous branches which grew close
TO the ground, ana said THE I'M
memorial habit OF small boys to climb
trees filled with abundant branches rs
one of which corporations stretching
wires over such trees must take notice.
and the court is going to safeguard the
right of small boys to climb such trees.
1t is good guessing that the learned
judge was once a small boy himself ana
possibly retains pleasant recollections
of tree-climbing feats OF his own.

The contract for the erection of the
elegant new building in which will be
housed the First National Bank of Viro-
qua, was let the fore part of the week
to Geo. l.. Smith & Co. of South Kau-
kauna. The plans call for building
l00x41, two stories with basement.
Nothing but the best of material will
be used. The building proper will be
of pressed brick; the trimmings of
Raindrop and Bedford stones, the en-
tire basement facing to be of the Rain
drop variety. At the vestibuled en-
trance on Main street will be two mas
sive Bedford stone columns, with 81
foot shafts The trimmings alone call
for an expenditure of So, 900. It will
cost S25, 900 to erect the editice and
$40. 900 more for the heating plant. fix
lures, plumbing, etc. Tie whole of
the ground floor will be occupied by the
bank; the second floor viii be divided
off for office purposes. A portion of
the basement win contain barber shop
with bath rooms.
The architects who drew the plans
are Parkinson & Dorkendorf of La

Freak in Amin al Industry.

The La Crosse Chronicle says that
Carl Trehus, a farmer of Houston
county, tells one of the strangest
stories in TIE history of animal hus-
bandry in tins part of the country and
is willing to take oath that it is true.
He stated that in the first part of April
one of his Red Pole cows had calf.
About three weeks elapsed when an
other calf put in it's appearance April
18th. Mr.. Trehus was very much sur
prised to find the two calves with the
said COW, and believing that calf No. 2
had evidently made some mistake as to
its rightful mother, ne looked over his
herd but came to the conclusion that
the calf had not Numbered. How
ever, he was not satisfied without
further investigation and therefore took
away calf No. 2 and although the COW
still bud No. /, the other one had to be
returned, as its doubtful mother gave
every Indication, the same as any Other
cow would do under like circumstances,
that it grieved for its offspring The
two calves are both heifers and look
exactly alike. They appear to be in
good condition and are as active as any
naturally born.
