to the crowd that while Sadies pulled out of the
competition, she's asked leave to put on sub, and
that the prize awardin' will be delayed until after
the returns all in.
Meantime l climbs into the sleigh and goes down
to meet the express Sure enough, Cornelia Ann
aboard, bit hazy about the kind OF a stunt
that's expected of her, but ready for anything. l
don't go into many Details for fear of givin her
stage fright; but lets her know that if she's got
any sculpturin tricks up her sleeve nows the time
I've been tein' some friends of NINE, says l,
that when it came to clay art, or plaster of paris
art, you the real lollypop; and l reckoned that
if you could do pieces in mud, you could do EN-
just well in snow.
Snow!' says she. Why, never tried
Maybe Id banked too much on Cornelia per-
haps she right in sayin this out of her line.
Anyway it was mighty disappointed trio that sized
her up when landed her under the porte cochere.
When she's run her eye over the size and swell
ness of the place I've brought her to, and
sample of the folks she looks half scared to death
And you wouldn't have played her for a fav'rite,
either, if you'd the cheap figure she cut, with
them big eyes rollin' around, if she huntin'
for the nearest way out But we gives her cup of
hot tea makes her put pair of fleece lined
shoes and somebody's Persian lamb jacket, and
leads her out to make try for the championship.
Some of EN- was sorry for her. and tried to be
sociable; but Others just stood around and snck-
cred and whispered things behind their hands. Hon
est, could have thrown brickbats at myself for
ben such muSh head That wouldn't have helped
any though, l gets busy and rolls together a
couple of chunks of snow about as big as flour bar
rels and piles top of the other
It's up to you, Cornie says l. Cant you dig
something or other out of that?"
She don't say whether she can can't, but just
walks around it two three times, lookin at it
dreamy, like she in a trance. Next she braces
up bit, calls for old carvin' knife and kitchen
spoon, and goes to work, the whole push watchin
her as if she some freak in a cage
pipes off her motions for awhile real hopeful, and
then I edges out where l could look the other way.
Why say, all she'd done was to hew out something
that looks like lot of soap boxes piled up for
bonfire 1t a of funk, l could see that;

she's got-which wa mt any too many-an with the
other she's reachin' above her head after somethin
or other-maybe the soap on the top shelf: But
she beaut, all right. And all Cornelia
dom to bring her out was just slashin away
less with the knife and spoon handle, hardly stoppin
a second between strokes. She simply had 'em google
eyed l reckon they'd seen things just as fine and
maybe better, but they hadn't had front seat
before, while little ninety pound cinnamon top
like Cornela Ann stepped up and yanked white
washed angel out of snow heap.
Its wonderfully says Mrs. Purdy Pel
Looks to like we had Skippy fngerin' the
citrus, don't it?' says l.
The Count, he's been standin' there with his
mouth open, like the rest of us, only CROWN red
der n redder.
But Just then Cornelia makes one last swipe drops
her tools, and steps back to take view. We all
quits to what's comm next. Well, she looks
and looks at that Lady Reacher she's dug out,
right down there in the snow, with both hands over
her face, don the weep act like kid
In two shakes it was Sadie and Mrs: Purdy Pell
to the rescue, each side, while the rest of
gawps and looks foolish
What is it, you poor darling?" says Sadie.
trouble oh, obi says She Il just know i its
going to rain tomorrow!
Now wouldn't that give you foolish fit?
What Of it?" says Sadie.
That" says she, pontin' to the snow lady.
She'll be gone forever. Oh, it's wicked, wicked"
We'll" says 1, shes too big to go in the
Never mind, dear" says Mrs. Purdy Pell you
shall stay right here and do another one, in solid
marble I'll give you thousand for duplicate of
that.
And then you must do one for me-" says Sadie.
And me too" says Mrs. Dicky Madison.

and begins to play up strong He's of these big,
full blooded pretzels that's been everywhere, and
everything, and knows it all, and thinks there

a gold brick down to

asked for the acid

Then l begins to
hear the " Oh's!" and
"Ah's!' come from
the crowd. First off
l thought they was
guyin' her, but when
l strolls back near
enough for a peek at
what she was up

They Met Defeat

The Washburn high school
foot ball team went to Ironwood
last Saturday where they played
against the team from that place
The game was a good one but
resulted in a victory for the
Ironwood team, the score being
27 to 0. This was the first game
that the Washburn boys have
played this season and it is
thought that with a little more
practice that they will develop

Business Men and Citizens Of This
CITY Will 90 to Cornucopia.
The Trip Will be Made Next
Sunday. It Will be a Busi-
ness Jaunt.

The north country between
this city and the northern end
OF Bayfield, County will hear the
shout Of enthusiastic citizens
next Sunday. Conveyances have
been engaged to take about forty
people to Cornucopia and their
mission will be to boost for
Washburn. "Divert trade this
way will be the slogan, and
settlers all along the route will
be invited to come to Washburn
TO do their trading. A parley
will be held with the citizens of
Cornucopia, and it is hoped that
an inducement may be made to
get the bulk of the business
from that village. The reason
for this is that the new road be-
tween this city and the north
has been opened for travel and
many citizens of the enterpris
ing village on the south shore
have expressed a desire to make
this their business headquarters.
There are many other matters to
be discussed during the day,
which if given to the public
would weaken the general plan.
In due time it will be given gen.
eral circulation. The party is
being arranged for by President
Meehan of the Com mercial Club
and Cashier Swanby of the
Northern State Bank. Let all
who can, take the trip The The
start win be made from this
city about five o'clock Sunday
morning, if the weather will
permit. Arrangements have
been made with the hotels at
Cornucopia for the proper ac-
comadation of all visitors.

There is no fool like an old fool
I met an old fool on the street the
other day who had an idea that he
wants me to nir thru the columns Of
this paper. Said he: There aut to
be new law as to marriages. Be-
fore man is given a license to
marry, the girl should be able to
demonstrate the fact that she can
boil water without burning it., and
the man be made to show at least a
hundred dollars of his own money
that he had made himself. The
man was crazy. of course. Doesn't t
he want the young people to maIry?
And how could they marry with
such a law? Cook? Oh, Lord
The girls of today are not supposed
to know how to cook. Save money?
No young man is supposed to save
money. Yes, the man is surely
crazy.-Leader Clarion.

State Forestry Department Makes
Appointments for the County.
Standing Timber to be Pro-.
tected. Able Bodied Men
to Assist in This. J

Fire Wardens in each of the
towns in Bayfield, County have
been appointed by the State
Forestry Department for the
better protection of standing
timber and other property ex-
posed to the ravages of forest
fires. The appointees are en-
powered to call out, in case of
need, to fight the flames any
able bodied resident of that dis
trict. Those called are to re-
ceive twenty-five cents per hour
for actual work, the amount al
lowed the Warden, which is paid
out OF the town treasury of the
town IN which the fire fighting is
done. The system of appoint
ing deputy fire wardens has
grown out of the urgent ne
cessity of having someone whose
duty it is to guard against forest
fires, no one taking any special
interest in stopping the progress
Of the fires until his own pre-
perty is endangered. The
Wardens are expected to post
notices about, their respective
districts in the spring, giving a.
concise statement of the main
points of the laws bearing on
setting fires and the penalties
which may be incurred. Other
Wardens may be appointed
should the state Forester deem
them necessary The following
have been named in this county:
