brought suit for divorce Anybody who
has occupied the spare room on win
ter night would ordinarily sympathize
with this martyr to hospitality, but he
happens to be wealthy oil producer,
and might have bought an oil stove and
got along. Usually, too, remarks the
Baltimore American, men blame their
mothers-in-law for making things too
warm for them. The Pennsylvania man
is queer.
In order to make room for the for
ty-sixth star which must appear on the
flag of this country after July 4th next,
the rows will be entirely rearranged.
There will be six rows, four containing
eight stars each and two containing
seven each. This will leave two vacant
spaces for states that may be admitted
in the future. New flags with these
alterations will be supplied by the
government to the army and to all fed
eral buildings throughout the country.
The ladies' of the Plymouth Congre-
gational church of Dodgeville have been
busy the past few weeks gathering old
magazines, books and papers and sue
ceeded in obtaining thirteen tons. This
paper was shipped to Menasha, Wiscon-
sin, on Tuesday last where it will be
made. into pulp and reproduced into
print paper. The Diaper brought from
Sl3 to $50 per ton and the total proceeds
amounting to S225 will be donated to-

"A righteous howl from the Hollan-
dale Review runs as follows: The pest
office department at Washington has
evidently made an attempt to help the
|. c. Company reduce the salary Of the
agent at this place. They have made
inquiry as to whether this Office would
not rather have the night mail carried
to Dodgeville and brought back in the
morning, than to keep open and receive
it at night This would be fine ar
indeed. The carriers would
be delayed about an hour in getting
away in the morning as they would
have to wait until all the mail was dis
tributed; then our Saturday evening
mail would be held in Dodgeville until
Monday morning. In case of important
business mail this would be a fine ar
we don't think. The head
schemer of the /. c. ought to be an
alderman judging from the brilliancy
of some of the plans he evolves.
Otto Miller, farmer living near
Wis, has come to the con-
clusion that whatever helps merchants,
manufacturers and other city business
men win help farmers, and will try adj
vertising the products of his farm dur
ing the coming year. He has contracted
for regular space in the local paper and
will give publicity a trial. 81 don't see
why farmer can not get just as much
benefit from advertising as anybody
else, said Mr.. Miller. Gle always
has something to sell and often wants
to buy something for which he does not
know where to look. Oftentimes have
found, after making a long trip to town
to buy some article, that one of my
neighbors had just what | wanted and
that it was for sale. Undoubtedly my
have had the same experience.
Now, shall try advertising and hope
my neighbors will do the same. .
