He declined, with thanks, the invita-

the worse, physically at least, for
his visit TO town that day, he walked
away. l never saw him again.

suppose that no other person in
all the land was more thoroughly de-
spised than the copperhead,-he who
though living under the protection of
our government and enjoying its
many blessings, was at the same time
ready to stab our good Uncle Samuel
in the back. A southerner in the con.
fereate army, fighting our armed
forces face TO face,- We could re-
spect. He was according to our way
of thinking. a thousand times more
! honorable than copperhead We
used to sing:
Rebels at home, go hide your faces!
Weep for your sins with bitter
tears;
He who unfurled our beauteous ban
Says it shall wave a thousand years.

thoughtful citizens of Delton ever con-
demned the means taken to make Mr..
Blank cheer the flag and sign the
pledge. We heard little said about
! the matter after that day | have
heard since the war that Mr.. Blank
himself came to say in later years
that Captain Vanderpoei served him
right; and one of the principal actors
! in the tragical performance has told
me that when the old gentleman came
| to his last sickness he wanted this
comrade of mine, one of his neighbor
boys, to attend him to the last.

years after, l must say that wish

affair like this 1t was too much like
the way they do down south,-too
much like college hazing. / have al
ways admired the character of Lieut.
tenant Gillespie as indicated by his
remark, Boys, l am a young man,
and he has gray hair cannot do
anything to hurt him" Never after
] that day, I am glad to say. did the
men in my company manifest in the
least the spirit of either lynclrng or
hazing.

story with the exhortation of one of
the boys of our "Mauston Squad" dur

Hang him till he is deaf! Colt will

cream the skin should be softened

During the canning and preserving
season the hands become badly

these stains first wash as much of

Light a match and holding the fin
gers close together over the flame
in such manner as to confine the
fumes of the match, see how quickly
the stains will disappear.

because of the stimulation to capil-

massage helps because it renews the
muscular formations. For simple

When you are preparing to retire
Tor the night health-and-beauty sleep,
do you wasa your face thoroughly !!
1t is absolutely necessary that the
CRIME and soil accumulated on the
countenance during the day be re.
moved. That is, if you are doing
things to keep your complexion in
good order. OF course, you take a
bath before retiring as a means OF
better rest and consequently good
health. Certainly, along with the
bath, you wash your face. But per-
maps you dasd it with cold water
while telling yourself that the cream
will do the rest" This is a mistake.
Wash the face thoroughly and then
apply the cream. Wipe off the first
application of cream and you1l take
off more CRIME with it. Then rub
cream into the cuticle to nourish the
flesh. Keeping the face as clean as
possible is first-rate assistance in re-
moving blemishes and great help
in keeping them off.

TOBACCO NOTES
from the Edeerton Reporrerl


The beginning of the new year finds
the handling of the 1906 crop well I'M
der way at the packing points and in
most cases the warehouse people have
the help we'll organized and business
running smoothly. The opening of six
more warehouses in Edgerton during
the week creates a demand for about
500 more hands. and as yet the places
are not all filled. Close to one-quarter
of the crop has now been received. and
there seems to be little fault to find
with the condition of the leaf (barring
some shed burn and pole rot as it
comes to the warehouses. Almost the
entire crop is now stripped and ready
for delivery and growers are every
where urging their claims TO be next
on the list, and the coming few weeks
promise to be the busiest of the year.
The christening of the new $50, 900
tobacco warehouse at Lodi proved an
event of unusual Importance to that
village and the surrounding country.
The dimensions of this mammoth build
ing are 90x272 feet, 25 foot walls from
floor to girders, and has a storage ca
pacity for IL 200 cases The storage
proper is divided by fire walls into three
rooms 50X90 feet.
