WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women OF the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those OF our generation. To be sure,
there are hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage In his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
OF his banquet hall or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength Of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover. although her cloth
ing was gOrgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
it was not subject TO rapid changes OF
fashion. The cut of sleeve or the
bang OF skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
OF looking like a las, years rag bag

der brilliant searchlight effects.
A complete vaudeville entertainment
will also be given each afternoon be-
tween the racing heats. There will also
be exciting relay running races in the
afternoon, and ascensions of the famous
airship which made such a great record

The Comfy FAIR.

From an early period in the history
of Wisconsin county fairs have been a
notable feature in the life of its people,
being an inheritance from England,
where they date back to the early days
of the kingdom. The fair in its primi-
tive stage in England had the features
of market day, when there were sales
of horses, cattle and other personal
property, as at such English fairs as
Goldsmith tells of where Moses traded
his colt for "a gross of green paltry
spectacles.' But the county fairs such
as are now held, once a year, in most
of the counties of the state are an out.

velopment of the state in the competitive
exhibition of live stock and all the prod

The officers of the fair association
have been untiring in their efforts to
make this fair record breaker and are
entitled to the cooperation of the farm
ers and city people. The indications
are that there will be n large exhibit in

fair of 1907 will be the best ever held in
Manitowoc county. In the meantime
every one in the county should make
preparations to attend the fair one or
more days. Remember the dates, Sept

WISCONSIN A GREAT DAIRY STATE.

The following is al extract from the
annual report of the state dairy and
food commissioner which has Just been
issued:
Wisconsin is among the foremost
dairy states of the union. In the extent
and variety of her dairy products, she is
ex ,elled by none. The policy of our
state in the inspection of cheese factor
les and creameries is akin to that of the
national government ia the recently en-
acted law for the inspection of meat
packing establishments. Securing mod
ern scientific practices it tends to give
the consumers cleanliness and purity in
dairy products and consequent greater
remuneration to those engaged in the
dairy industry. 1t is wisdom upon the
part of the state to carry into effect Il
policy which secures these results.
There are in Wisconsin more than
9, 900 cheese factories creameries and
skimming stations. The value of their
buildings and machinery approxmates
-, 600, 600. The number of their patrons
exceeds 1O2, 900. There are 944 900
cows contributing more than g. 1876, 600, :
coo pounds of milk annually to the
cheese factories ana creameries. The
annual revenue from all classes of dairy
products, including by.products from
cheese factories and creameries, exceeds
S51, 600, 900"
Manitowoc county has 81 cheese fac
tories and 20 creameries and skim sta
tions. The county produced 7,726, Az
pounds of cheese and 336, $40 pounds of
butter The value Of cheese was $685.,

PROF. SIMS ADDRESS.

An address was given by Prof. J. F.
Sims of the Stevens Point Normal school
at the North Side high school last Tues.
day evening, to which an appreciative
audience listened with intense interest.
The subject was Lincoln" and the
character of that grand American Was
portrayed in masterful way,
After dwelling upon the condition of
the world at the opening of the 10th
century and speaking of the great men
this period produced Napoleon, Bis
mark, Garibaldi, Cavour-men whose
names are written in large letters on the
pages of the last centurys history-the
speaker stated that on the frontier of
American civilization the opening years
of the century brought forth a man
greater than any of these greater than
all of them. The early life and youth
We're portrayed. The limited advant.
ages of the time were dwelt upon. The
training the young man received was
mentioned, and his entrance into the
domain of politics.
Special mention was made of Lincon's
work as an attorney, meeting in the
circuit and even the supreme courts of
Illinois, lawyers who We're known as
being among the best of the country
The encounter with Douglas was special.
ly dwelt upon the statement being made
that Douglas won the senatorship but
lost the presidency, while Lincoln lost
the senatorship but won the presidency
Lincoln was eminently a man of the
people. His training WAS of a kind that
made him especially beloved by them
and when the awful tragedy came as
the war was brought TO successful
close, the nation both north and south
mourned. Mr.. Sims mentioned, rs his
earliest recollection, the fact that he had
looked upon the pale face of the martyred
president. He closed with the admoni.
tion that we, rs citizens, cannot add to
the sacredness of Lincoln's memory, but
we can resolve that this great American
has not lived and died in vain, and that
government Of the people, by the people
and for the people shall not perish from
the earth.

NOT LIKE ANY SHE HAD SEEN.
Why Chicken Seemed Peculiar to
Small City Girl.

Little Isabel had been so unfortu
nate as to have lived most OF her six
years in boarding houses, Now, the
boarding house chicken, as every one
knows who has had any experience
with that curious fowl, seems large
ly composed OF wings and legs. 1t
generally fell to Isabel's lot to draw
leg. Consequently it was with great
surprise that on her first visit to the
country she contemplated a real live
chicken on its native heath. She had
been told that it was chicken, but
she had her doubts until reassured by
her mother. Even then she was not
quite satisfied. MystifieA as though
graphing with some problem beyond
her power to reason out, she ex-
claimed: But see, mamma, 1t only
has two legs"

Mothers Cruelty to Child.

A strange story OF cruelty comes
from Boone Ridge, near Pentiejd, Pa,
where Mrs. Burtielder Is charged with
having suspended her six-year-old
child In mid-air, permitting her to
hang for three hours. The child did
something that displeased the mother,
and, seizing the little one, It is al
legged she tied her hands behind her
and then fastened strap about the
child's waist. The little offender was
dragged to the barn, where rope was
attached to the belt, thrown over 4
beam and the child pulled up in the
air. This was shortly after supper,
and 1t is said she permitted the child
to swing around and around in that
painful position until her husband
came home at ten o'clock and cut
down the child.

Patrolman August Eggert, who was

charge of neglect of duty, rendered his
resignation to the fire and police COM

and refused to appear to defend the
charges. He declared in a communica-

would have no chance Of fair hearing.
He claims that the charge was based on
malice, prejudice and hatred" How
ever that may be, the fact remains that
Eggert never went near the place from
which the call was sent in. The resigna.
tion was accepted. Ed. Ladwig has been
