If the arms keep on long enuf they'll

Narrow Escape From Death.

Geo. Miner, day yardmaster in this
city, had the narrowest escape from
being killed. He was at work about
the yards and unconsciously stepped
in front of a train, to the engine of
which was attached a snow plow,
which raised George from his feet; he
fell on the pillow as the train moved on.
In the most possible perilous situation,
Mr.. Miner retained his position on the
snow plow by placing his hand down
and it touched the track rail, which
being smooth caused his hand to slide
along and in this way he supported
his body from falling down in front of
the moving train, which had gone
about four ear lengths before the en-
gineer could stop it. When the train
was stopped Mr.. Miner was found to
be almost exhausted in consequence of
the close call he had and the way he
saved his life. Mr.. Miners injuries
were only slight and were confined to
his left hip and ankle and bruises that
will lay him up for week.-Harvard

MRS. COMMANDERS new BOOK
Former Free Congregational Minister
of This City Becomes Author
Home in New York City.

"Does the determination of the Amer
lean people to establish a small family
ideal point to race suicide or to race de-
velopmentW This is the question
thrown upon the table for considera-
ton in Mrs. Lydia Kingsmill Com
mander's new book, "The American
Idea," just published by A. s. Barnes
& Co., New York City. 1t is brilliant
ly written, absolutely authoritative and
unbiased; and because of it's strong,
convincing style makes very interest
ing and profitable reading. Famous
men and women in the professional and
business world are directly sounded by
the author; but more important still is
the vast amount of material gathered
from the great representative body of
mothers and fathers of the country.
The author, Mrs. Commander, is we'll
remembered here, having lived among
us for a year or two as preacher of the
Free Congregational society in the very
beginning of her career. She is still a
young woman and has promising
future before her.

Deer Increasing in Wisconsin.

"Deer have steady increased in Wis
consin in the last ten or twelve years,
said J. w. Kelley of Marinette. ~
think this is due to the added protection
and the more stringent laws In the
old days the woods were filled with
camps and pot hunters who used to
supply the Milwaukee and Chicago
markets with deer and made a good
living at it for four or five months
every year.
at is safe to say that each of these
men killed more than a hundred deer
every year, and it is remarkable that
they were not wiped out entirely. Now
the deer hunters are watched closely
and even if they kill more than two deer
apiece they cannot ship them because
the railroads will not accept them with
out license tags. If the deer continue
to inc.ease in few years more Wis
consin should be veritable paradise
for the deer hunter

STRENUOUS TIME
At R|NGL|NG'S
QUARTERS

All Ringlingville is busy. Recently
number of riders and other perfor-
ners, who have to prepare for their
season work several weeks in advance,
arrived in the city, and are hard at
work, six days out of seven, breaking
horses and training them. Ringing
Bros. have some of the worlds great
est trainers here, and, as usual, expect
to put on the road the Worlds Great
est Show. A good many head of horses
have been added to the already we'll
filled stables of the show and from
early morning until night these and
others are being worked and trained
into condition for the work of the sea-
son s07.
Also the animal quarters have re-
ceived additions to their numbers.
Only a few days ago an assignment of
animals of the feline species arrived
here and was put into quarters with
the others to become acquainted with
their new fellow travellers.
Mule riders are as busy as possible,
curing their beasts of the habits that
seem to go with that class of animals,
kicking and bucking, and training
them for the various new features that
will this year be introduced.
George Levasseur of New York City,
the strong man, probably the strongest
ia the world today, who sprained his
ankle badly while lifting ton weight
some weeks ago, is recovering rapidly
and will soon be at his physical de-
velopment work and training at Ring
lingville. Mr.. Levasseur will this
year introduce a number of new
features, one Of them being undoubtedly
the most wonderful of the kind ever
attempted.
The seasons opening is near at hand
and the preparation in all departments
must be rushed to completion.

Today at noon as Wm.. Terry, who
resides west of town, was passing the
first ward schoolhouse on his way to
market with steer, the animal be-
came frightened at some school chill
dren and began plunging about, break
ing the rack and throwing Mr.. Terry

the wagon and breaking loose from it,
ran away, leaving Mr.. Terry, the steer,
and the wagon in heap in the middle
of the street. Neither Mr.. Terry nor
the animal was seriously injured by
their fall, but the wagon was badly
broken up. The horses were caught
and brought back in short time.

One is to have the salespeople shove

overstocked line, and make your prices
accordingly.
