to leave their homes Sunday night,
and several persons we're kept in the
trees all night.
One house floated down Canadian

fair as Educator.

The Mineral Point Fair, like all other
first-class fairs, is educational in its
aims and in its results. It is school to
which all people, old and young, no
matter what their pursuits in life, may
attend with profit. 1t appeals particu-
larry to those engaged in farming and
kindred pursuits, for it is the annual
exhibit Of the products Of the farm in
ali its varied departments. Southwest
ern Wisconsin is good farming terri
toy, but is noted particularly for its
fine stock, resulting from its splendid
grasses and pure water, than which no
section of the United States can boast
Of better. These facts, together with
other winning features, not only make
the Mineral Point Fair popular, but in
sure it's being an educator. This year
the fair viii be held August 20 to %, in
clusive-next week.

VIM. Dunn, known to those of
Mineral Point who lived here quarter
of century ago as 'Billy," is among
us as homecomer. 1t is twenty-eight
years since he left this his place of ma
tivity with his face set toward the gold
en- horizon of the west. Three years
thereafter he was summoned back by
the death of his father, the lamented
James Dunn. That was his only return
up to this time. During the twenty five
years of his continuous absence from
Mineral Point numerous changes have
taken place and they are specially not
iceable to Billy. Many faces familiar
to him are missed, missed because of
the ending of life's course, while Others
like himself have gone in quest of
greener pastures. For all that goodly
number of boyhood friends remain and
the meeting is reciprocally joyous. Bill
ly expresses pleasure at seeing the i'm
provements in the beloved old town and
to note that prosperity's sun shines
brightly Ger it.
1t is pleasure to one and all of
our citizens to meet Miss Lydia Pascoe,
formerly of this city, now of GAINESVILLE
Miss Pascoe is recovering from pro-
tracted siege of sickness which necessi-
tated hospital treatment, and she will
remain in Mineral Point some weeks
with the hope of regaining accustomed
health and vigor.

Lick,s EnIix

+ The story of "Lick's Folly, or the
Mahogany Mill" has to do with the
romance of the life Of James Lick, the
donor Of the Lick. observatory. :.
8 In early life young Lick fell in love
with the daughter Of well to do
miller for whom he worked When he
made known his love, which was re-
ciprocated by the girl, the miller was
angry and is said to have replied:
,"Out you beggar! Dare you think
Of my daughter. who viii inherit my
riches? Have you a mill like thisl
Have you a single penny in your
purse ~ sssse5,s y ..fs. IL ~.
10 this Lick replied that he had
nothing as yet, but one day he would
have a mill beside which this one
would be a pigsty.
!. In 1854 the Quiet, parsimonious
James Lick surprised everybody by
building magnificent -four mill near
San Jose. The mill was finished with
in In solia mahogany highly polished
and was furnished with the best
machinery possible. He made the
grounds about the mill very attractive
and began early to set out trees both
for fruit and ornament.
Lick caused his elegant mill to be
photographed without and within and
sent the pictures to the miller who
had scorned him In his youth.
Nineteen years after Mr.. 4 Lick built
his mill, Jan. is, 1873, be surprised the
people Of San Jose again by giving 1t
TO the Paine Memorial society of Bos-
ton, half the proceeds OF sale to be
used for q memorial hall and half to
sustain d lecture course.

Until one has passed winter and
spring in the British capital he knows
nothing about a real fog Perhaps
there is one place where fog gathers
more frequently, but never so densely.
That Is on the banks of Newfound-
land. The story used to be told of the
veteran "a. E. Judkins, commodore Of
the Cunard line, that when asked by a
woman passenger if there was always
/ q fog on the banks he replied curtly:
low do know, madam? / don't
live here
u But the Londoner who has to remain
In town during the winter knows more
aboutSfogs than would the keeper of a
lightship anchored in the path Of trans
atlantic travel 1t is because Of the
bad fog that the Britisher goes to the
country in winter and remains in the
city during the summer. He reverses
the American rule. The height of the
London season is at the very time
when New York and most American
cities south of parallel 40 are swelter-
ing in the heat and deserted by every
body who can afford to get
There is so much bad winter weather
in London that a really fine day Is a
surprise. In the months between No
vember and May the average resident
Of the British metropolis generally
awakens to find that big town envel-
oped in dense mist that clings to the
window panes, finds It's way into every
crack and crevice, forms in drops Of
water upon the stone stills, only to drop
to half open shutters below; searches
for small openings at window tops and
thereby gains admittance to the sleep
Ing room, where the mist expands like
the genii of the Arabian tales until 1t
fills the apartment, first chokes the
sleeper, then causes him to turn over,
only to find that new place on his
pillow is damp and causes him to say,
as every .Londoner does times without
number, another bad dayy'
Such is a typical awakening during
the winter months in the most popu-
lous city of the world!
