Good Book Always Sells Well.

The Bible continues to be the best
selling book, as it always has been
since the invention of printing. The
number of copies sold annually IN
the United States and in other
parts of the Christian world is
regularly increasing at the rate of
from TO 10 per cent. a year, which
does not look as if the present
generation was rejecting the faith
of its fathers.
1t is said at the Bible house in
New York that not less than 10, :
900, 900 copies were sold throughout
the world last year, and the actual
number is probably nearer 12,00O,-
600 copies. The total sales of the
American Bible society for the
fiscal year 1906, at home and abroad,
amounted to 2,236,755 copies,
which is an increase Of 405, 759
copies over the year 1905. OF these
$40, 367 were issued from the Bible
House in New York, and 1896, 38S
from the foreign agencies of the
society. The greater part Of the
latter were printed on the presses at
missionary stations in China, Japan,
Siam, Syria and Turkey.
The sales this year, both in the
United States and foreign countries,
were larger than ever before and
probably from 400, 900 to 500, 900
copies were sold by private dealers,
booksellers and department stores.
Some of these copies, perhaps 20
per cent, are already accounted for
in the sales by the American Bible
society, but a large number of
Oxford Bibles, printed on the Uni
versity Press in England, are sold
in this country, and we have at
least four private publishing houses
which make speciality of Bibles.
The whole or part of the Bible
has been translated into 467 diff
ferent languages and dialects, chief
" by Christian missionaries, of
which 44S translation are now in
circulation.

Letter from Ralph Ray.

Following is letter to Harry
Gingngh, written by his nephew,
Ralph Ray:
Turiguano Island off the North Coast
of Cuba, Jan. 9TH; 1907.
DEAR UNCLE: / received yours OF
the Goth was very much pleased to
hear from you and the latest from
Lancaster.
To day the thermometer registered
80 In the shade. 1t was very sultry,
but | have seen it warmer in Dec
About a week ago | went to the
orange grove at Piedra "A miles north
east of here, while there | was caught
In tropical rain-storm. 1t didn't rain,
1t just poured, took refuge in the old
Spanish fort there. This fort was sur
rounded by an embankment outside
of which was a deep ditch or moat.
This in turn was surrounded by sever
al lines of barb wire. These Cubans
are very ignorant. There are very few
who can even read and write their
own names. They think the United
States is composed of Chicago and
New York which they think are some
thing like Moron and Ciego de Avila;
these are two of the most life-less
towns I have ever seen. This Turf
guano is very healthful island. The
yellow fever has never been here. 1t
is mostly covered by timber. The
chief building timber is Jobo (pro-
nounced Hobo.) There is some oak
AID very much cedar and mahogany,
or caoba as the Cubans call it. Much
of the lumber in their building is
mahogany. They do not know the
value of it. Mr.. and Mrs. McCull of
Chicago; H. J. Van Camp, of Mime
sofa; @. w. Ritchie, of Ohio and my
self compose the American population
here at present. Our sea port on the
Atlantic is Terra plin eight miles north;
the chief lake port is Lahaute on the
White lake which separates this island
from the island of Cuba. We have
had radishes and turnips from our
own garden since New Years, potatoes,
tomatoes, watermelons and cabbage,
are ready for use. The sweet-potatoes
are as large as cocoanuts, the orange
season has been on since October.
The banana season never ends. Lemons
also grow during the whole year. Be-
sides these there are many tropical
fruits unknown in the north.
We are 800 miles from the nearest
point of Florida, / expect to make a
home visit within few months. The
American soldiers are still here.
Yours as ever, regards to all.

From the land of continued sunshine.

Of Interest to Odd Fellows.

The large addition to the Odd
Fellows home at Green Bay will
be ready for occupancy on Feb. IS.
Although the addition has been
completed, the furnishings Of the
thirty three rooms have not been
installed, thus causing a delay IN
taking possession of the addition.
At a meeting of directors last
week, which was attended by Sec
rotary Richard Hoe, it was found
that the grounds surrounding the
home were inadequate to meet pres
end needs, and two additional acres
of ground were purchased. The
home is surrounded by twelve
acres of ground.
There are forty-fve inmates in
the home. The addition will satisfy
long felt want, and enough APP
plications for admittance are on
hand to Immediately press the adj
dition into service. The annual
election will be held in April.
Richard Hoe, who has held the
position of secretary for sixteen
years, undoubtedly will be re
elected at that meeting.
Besides thirty three rooms in the
addition, there is a large reading
room for inmates and nurses
room on the first floor. The addi-
ton contains all modern improve
ments. The entire expense of build
ing the addition was betrayed by
an assessment on members in Wis
cOnSin.

Judge Mills Contest.

The Judge Mills oratorical con-
test, held Friday evening was an
event of the usual interest on ac-
count of the particular publicity
given it as home feature, and the
opera house was filed to overflow
ing long before the girls glee club
rendered the initial number on the
program.
OF the seven contestants parti-
cipating for the prize it was a diff
tcult matter indeed for the audience
to name the winner, and previous
markings on thought and compost
ton by foreign minds certainly
must have settled the question, for
all did splendidly and won applause
from every hand.
The contestants with their various
subjects ere as follows:
Victory from Defeat" Elizabeth
...,,.........-.. .......--...........,...E Emery
CLARA Barton and the Red Cross"
..,..,, ..,-..,.. ............ Martha Meyer
Patriotism as Displayed by Citi-
zens Of Grant County" -Clar-
-ence webb
Our High School, Winnlfred
.-..-..-.- Willis
Napoleon Bonaparte" Chas. Webb
''Child Labor ...........- Glare Totman
1.-THE Modern American Girl" -.
Mira York
1t is a matter of regret that every
one of the participants could not be
rewarded for their respective eff
forts. Each is certainly due praise,
for 1t was undoubtedly the best
contest of the large number previ
ously rendered.
Charles Webb was given first
prize, Clarence Webb, his cousin,
second, and Clare Totman third.
The Herald adds complimentary
mention to the balance, for they
are certainly deserving of it.
The judges on thought and COM
position were Prof, Philip Kennedy
of Beloit college; Miss Myrtle Car
penter of Platteville Normal and
Prof. Miles Thomas, principal of
the high school at Lodi.
On delivery, the judges were
Prins. Henry Kircher of Fenn1-
more; Babcock of Dodgeville and
Prof. Dudley of the Platteville Nor
NAL.
Judge Goodsell and Miss Emma
Schreiner acted as a committee to
make the report.

Judge Is Better Acquainted.

One day while John A. Peters, late
chief justice of the supreme court Of
Maine, was presiding at Bangor, he
was asked by counsel to suspend court
a few moments in order to pass upon
the eligibility of two candidates wis
had applied for naturalization papers.
The chief justice graciOusly con-
scented and the two men presented
themselves at the bar, with their Wit
nesses. One of these witnesses was a
great personal friend of the judge, and
his honor called this friend first, then
the following cOlloquy occurred;
