Curious Capers of Cupid

They journeyed to New York City and
from there they made their way to York
ers, where they were married on the date
above mentioned. The strictest secrecy
was enJoined on all present, and how well
that promise has been kept IS indicated by
the belated announcement that surprised
the friends Of both recently.
Fond papas and ,mammas on both sides
were informed some time ago. but every
thing was satisfactory and the parental
blessings poured in on the Young couple.
Young Surge says he wanted to finish
his education before the marriage was an
nounced. while his wife had accepted a
lucrative position, teaching for a private
concern interested in settlement work in
Brooklyn She has been there for more
than two years and has made many friends.
Matrimonial Ventures in Ireland.
In Ireland love making, like Molshic Nc
Grath's griddle bread, is never done-at
least until the boy meets the girl of his
final choice. Then he eschews wooing,
which was his pastime, and prepares him
self for wedding. soberly and seriously, as
befits the momentous undertaking. He bids
goodbye to fun and frollc, fair faces and
delightful meetings at the market, and takes
on a look Of care and fortitude, relates
Seamus McManus In L~Appinoott's. After
marriage, when he has become habituated
to the new aspect OF affairs, he will relax,
and WOO his wife, making rich amends for
his previous Observation-Disclosures. This WOO
ing differs from all former ones, inasmuch
as this is done for home happiness, while
those were simply followed for fun.

partial to the girl who loved nonsense. for
the serious business OF life he wanted sense
and probably pence; whilst she whom he

ILank EngIf.h Women.

The searching glare OF the law courts
has been brought to bear upon the sub
ject Of the English woman's figure, says
a writer in the Gentlewoman. During the
progress Of a case between a wholesale
cosJumer sndN a draper expert opinion
was called TO compare the figures Of
English women to those of the American
and French.
Il was discovered that Americans lack
the Englishwoman's height, though their
shoulders are broader and waists larger;
the stock shoulder size for ladies across
the Atlantic is six inches, while madame
on this side of the water can boast but
four and three-quarters.
But the length from neck to waist for
the average woman in America is only
fourteen and a half inches, while in Eng
land ii is sixteen and 4 half.
The deduction TO be drawn from the most
vigorous legal Investigations on the sub
ject in which all the witnesses appear TO
have been of the sterner sex is that the
average or stock size English woman OF
today is with due apologies to Words

Toot! Toot! Another train

The steamer Frank H. Peavey
is now in port with a cargo of T.
900 tons Of soft coal which is be-
ing unloaded, and several more

No Question About it.

From all indications the Thomp-

TED next season by the Sterns
Lum Der company of Odanah.
The Sterns company have IN ct
with a good deal of loss to tim Der
by forest fires during the months
of August and September and in
order to save the tim Der as much
as possible they will have to have
it cut during the coming winter.
it is now estimated that they
will cut about seventy-fve mil
lion feet and this will keep a
mum Der of saw mills busy during
the comming summer to saw it
into lumber. 1t is said that they
have leased the Thompson mill
and will operate it night and day.
The mill will have to be over
hauled during the winter and
put in shape to run. 1t will give
employment to about one hun
dred and fifty men, on the two
shifts.

the Edward Hines Lumber COM
pany of Chicago, were lost IN the
heavy storm on Lake Superior
Monday night when the tow line
parted and the boats went adrift.
The boats were in tow of the
steamer Edward Hines and were
just off Huron Island. Owing to
the heavy pail Of smoke which
hung over the lake the boats were
quickly lost to view. The captain
OF the steamer searched for them
all night but could not locate
them. It is feared that the boats
have gone on the rocks. They
were loaded with coal and we're

City Foot Ball Team Again Defeats
the Ashland Naval Reserve.
Washburn High School Sec
ond Team Trimmed up
Bayfield, Boys.

The members of the city foot
ball team added another feather
to their cap last Sunday after
noon when they went across the
pond and defeated the Ashland
Naval Reserve Foot Ball team
on their own grounds, the final
score being 10 too.
The Ashland boys wanted the
game and wanted it bad and they
put all of their very best ma
terial in the game in an effort to
win it, but without success.
The Washbrrn boys were just as
determined to win and they play
ed ball all of the time. The game
was called at exactly three
o'clock, and two twenty minute
halves were played.
In the first half from the very
first kickoff the ball was in the
Ashland territory all of the time.
The Washburn team by center
rushes, end runs and cross buck
plays steadily gained ground
until the ball was carried down
to the Ashland five yard line,
Ashland then got the ball and
endeavored to carry it back again
but they were stopped almost in
their tracks. After three un-
successful attempts to make
their gain of ten yards, the ball
went back to the locals and was
carried over the goal, Nelson
making the touchdown.
The second half Ashland kick
ed off and the punt was returned
by Wiley. The Ashland quart
er-back fun bled tine ball and
Ross for Washburn succeeded
in getting it after a run half way
down the field and carried it
oyer for the second touchdown,
making the score ten to O.. The
game was rather rough one all
the way through, but other than
that it was a good one. An en-
deavor is being made to get
Odanah here for a game next
Sunday.

"Read This Before you Vote"

A poster is being distribute d
about the state that is unique in a
political way The headline in bold
type is-"Read This Before You
Vote. 1t presents no mans picture
and points the promises and coed
points of no candidate. But IT does
point out in a very forcible way the
Importance of the good roads amend
ment to our state constitution.
The Good Roads Association is an
organization chiefly of farmers formed
for the sole purpose of pushing the
cause of better roads in Wisconsin.
Realizing that ours is the last state
to have a constitutional provision
forbidding the state to aid the far
mers in road building they are doing
everything possible to present the
importance of this amendment to
the voters.
The poster states that this amend
ment is not confined TO any one party
but that progressive men of all par
ties favor it. 1t states that resolu-
tons favoring the amendment have
been passed by the state organiza-
tion OF the Equity Society, the State
Grange, the Agricultural Expert
ment ASS and every other impor
tant state farmers society. In ad-
dition the State Press Association
and the State Rural Carriers Assn
have passed resolutions favoring it.
The difficulty with getting this
amendment passed is that, like all
amendmen is it attracts little atten-
ton. 1t is at the bottom OF long
ballot and after the voter has put
crosses after the names of all the
men he wants to see elected he is al
most sure to fold up his ballot and
hand it in. The voters who vote
straight ticket also fail to vote for
the amendment.
The poster ends. with the pointed
request-"Don't Fail to Vote
Mark Cross After Yes the First
Thing You Do in the Voting Booth. !"
Every thoughtful voter should make
resolve to do this. Wisconsin should
not be behind it's neighbors, and be-
hind every other progressive state
IN the building of good roads. The
history of road building shows that
no country has ever attained good
roads until some large unit of gov
ernment has taken the matter up
and helped the local people pay for
them.

The Proof IS in the Eating,

WouIn't you rather pay few
cents more for an oyster that tastes
like an oyster with the true, irresist-
ible salt sea-tang? That's the kind
"Sealshipt" Oysters are.
The price of "Sealshipt" is trife
higher; but the actual cost is less,
because you get so much more for
your money. And the delicious
flavor of 'Sealshipt" is beyond COM
parison-superior to the taste of the
washed-out, fiabby oysters sold
from tubs.
Get pint of ''Sealshipt" Oysters
