THE LITERARY MOUSE.

There was a mouse who had the luck
to be
Born in an ancient study, still and
warm.
One lonely student kept him company;
There was no enemy to do him harm.
And he loved books, and was in tiptop
feather
Among the parchments and the Rus
sian leather.
A mouse of letters, that knew naught
of cheese,
Or cake, or dainties, but was well
content
To nibble on a sage, and take his ease:
A mouse, indeed, of literary bent;
Who breakfasted upon bit of Cato,
And took a pleasant dinner out of
Plato.
One day, more reckless grown, he
showed himself
(He had been dining on some poet
ry),
And so the student saw him on the
shelf,
And softly murmured, otis a mouse
l see;
A mouse, no doubt, who has a taste
for letters,
And dips into my books just like his
betters."
On which he got some cheese and set
trap,
Some tempting cheese, that had
toasted SMELL
And when the mouse woke from his
MONDAY nap,
He gazed, he smelt, he dared, and so
he fell;
For well the student knew who'd be
the winner:
What classic bait could rival such a
dinner?
Poor mouse! he thought himself botn
wise and strong,
And only meant the dainty rare TO
see;
Though something told him that 1t
was all wrong,
And that from danger he would pet
ter flee,
He risked his life, as has done many
mortal
Within some fatal but seductive portal
Then said the student to his son: BE
sure
In every circumstance some lesson S
sent:
This mouse had been both happy ana
secure,
If with less tempting fare he'd been
content.
Let not strange lures thy simple heart
awaken.
Lest unawares thou too be trapped and
taken"
What is this? Why, this is Mr.
Slave, the collector, who has called
about "the balance of that little bill,
and who has been balancing himself
for the last ten minutes on the newell
post, pending the arrival of some one
to call off the dogs. Mr.. S. thinks that
there is such thing as too many pets,
and the next time he calls at that
house he will go accompanied by the
dog-catchers, or wear pair OF stove
pipes round his legs.

ACCIDENT IN MILL.

The Brooks & Ross Lumber Co. g crew,
Schofeld. was temporarily laid of at
ten o'clock Friday morning The lay
off was occasioned by the blowing out
of the piston rod which works the car
riage on the band saw side of the mill.
After the rod blew out the carriage
shot back and forth several times before
it stopped. VIM Holtz, who was on it,
was knocked off and fell through hole
in the floor through which the carrier
chain which carries refuse up into the
burner runs. His falling through the
floor probably saved his life. The pis-
ton rod was driven through the carriage
drum, breaking piece of steel several
inches in thickness. The bumper heads
withstood the test put to them, though
they were reduced to splinters They
saved the carriage from going through
the trimmer and undoubtedly saving
life or limb. Many of the crew were
working in that particular part of the
mill at the time and that none were
killed or seriously injured is miracle.
Two were slightly bruised. AS soon as
the steam had blown off crew was put
to work making repairs, so than the
mill would not be forced to shut down
more than two days. 1t is reported that
the mill will be shut down for some time
about Aug. 1st.

GINSENG Is TAXABLE.

In reply to a request for information
on the subject, the state tax commission
has forwarded to VIM. j. Kregel, super
visor of assessment. an opinion relative
to the taxing of ginseng gardens. Here
tofore ginseng growers in this and
other counties have held that ginseng
comes under the head of growing
crops and cannot therefore be assessed.
AT the time tax laws were passed the
cultivation of ginseng in this state was
an unheard of industry, and therefore
the law on the subject is rather vague.
Quoting from opinions rendered in
otaer states, the commission holds that
ginseng is not TO be considered grow
ing crop because the plant is perennial,
not annual. l. is therefore subject to
taxation, tae commissioners say. II
Marathon county assessors act upon
the advice of the commission, it will
mesn that quite number of Marathon
county farmers, hsying ginseng gardens
en- their property. will be compelled TO
pay a large additional sum in taxes
The assessor would, or should, in such
case base bis assessment on the true
value of the crop. As one incorporated
firm alone values its crop at not less
than $4,000 the public can easils sac
what it means to the owners. The
stockholders of the firm we refer TO, We
understand, intend TO hAs@ any such

GOES SOUTH.

David .. Thompson, editor OF the
Athens Record and vice-president of
the Marathon County Agricultural soci-
ETY., has severed connections with his
paper and has accepted position in a
department of the state agricultural
college of Georgia. located in Douglas,
Coffee county His resignation with
the Record Publishing Co. takes effect
Aug. 1st. He will leave Athens next
Saturday and come to Wausau, where
he and Mrs. Thompson will visit rela-
tives for week before their departure
for the South
MIR. Thompson came to this county
several years ago at the solicitation of
the late Fred Rietbrock. Mr.. Riet-
brooks purpose in bringing him here
was to educate the farmers of western
Marathon county along certain lines in
dairying. Mr.. Thompson succeeded in
marked measure in getting farmers
interested in better stock. milk tests
and other things which go to make up
an up-to-date dairyman. He contrib
uted articles weekly TO the Athens Ilec
ord on dairy subjects and when Levy
Williamson rendered his resignation as
editor of that paper. the Record Pub
fishing Cos offered the vacancy to Mr.
Thompson. He accepted and notwith-
standing the fact that he never had any
previous experience in newspaper work,
he filled the position very creditably.
For two years past he has acted
vice-president of the Marathon County
Agricultural society and succeeded in
getting the farmers of the western sec
ton greatly interested in the fair.
His new vocation will be worth more
to him financially than his present posi-
ton, and it is for this reason alone that
he leaves county which he much likes.
Mr.. Thompson was united in mar
riage last season with one of Wausau's s
young ladies, Miss Cellah Waterhouse.

GIANTS ONO: LIVED HERE.


That human beings of enormous size
inhabited this section of the country
ages ago was proven last Sunday, when
the massive skeleton of an Indian was
unearthed near Pelican Lake
The interesting discovery was made
by Geo Patton and l.. III. Eaton, two
Chicago tourists, who are spending the
summer there. For several days the
men noticed mound on their travels
through the woods and at last led by
curiosity decided to excavate it. Pro-
curing spades they fell to work and
after digging down to depth of about
four feet were surprised to find the
bones of large human foot protruding
through the earth. Digging further
they gradually uncovered the perfect
frame of giant, The skeleton was
nearly eight feet in height and the arms
extended several inches below the hips.
Buried with the bones were numerous
stone weapons and trinkets. among
these were a curious stone hatchet, a
copper knife, several strange copper
rings and a necklace made of the tushs
of some prehistoric animal. The skele-
ton is no doubt that of an Indian who
was one of tribe of giants who roamed
this part of the state over one thousand
years ago.
Last year, near Monico, there was un-
iNa g n
feet in length. This former discovery
goes to show that the Pelican Lake
giant was not alone on earth.
The Chicago men will present the
skeleton to some geological museum
