Taft Exhibits Himself

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 2S.-The days
exhibition of political enthusiasm in
Indiana has been such as to eclipse all
previous campaigns, according TO the
national and state leaders who have
been with the Taft special. So great

even the arrangements of the local
committees have been overridden. APP
preciating the conditions, and realizing
that while he might be heard by few,
it was better to meet the demand of the
many who would be satisfied with a
sight of him, Mr.. Taft has done less
talking and more "exhibition" work
than heretofore in the campaign.

MAY MELANGE.

Today is the forty-sixth day of spring
and still Wausau people have witnessed
but few lamb-like days-but they are
coming. We have arrived at spring
flower and base ball period. May-that
lis, parts of it's one of the finest
months in the calendar. It is the month
when spring fever is usually epidemic.
Spring fever is good deal like spring
poem-it makes one tired. Some people
have the spring fever all the time. You
will always find man with spring
fever looking for work-he wants to
find it so he can avoid it. Cows begin
to give more milk this m onth, and milk
men begin to dispose of more.
When the cows freshen, the milkman
also gets fresh. The farmer plants his
corn this month and the crows begin to
fatten up. Corn planting is all right,
but planting your foot on somebody
else's corn is all wrong. If you are
sceptical aScnt this, try it. Ten acres
would be called a good corn crop.
Some men use a razor to shave with;
others use one as corn cutter. A good
corn-cutting razor makes poor shaw
ing razor.
May is a good month in which to.
sharpen your lawn mower-for your
neighbor's use 1t is also the month of
dandy lions and lilacs. Many Wausau
lawns will display enough dandy lions to
supply several ZOOS and circuses. Ifyou
want to learn how much your neighbor
loves you, let your dandy lions go to
seed and allow the light feathery down
to be picked up by the gentle May
zephyrs and waited into his lot. Show
him that you are not impartial to his
sharing your stock with you. May is
also the month in which to plant your
garden sass" and many good man
gets sassed by his wife while endeavor
ing to convince her that he is an up-to-
date agriculturist. II wish / were as
happy as the birds in May" says the
spring poet So do we. Many sweet
Wausau girls are named May, many
others just as sweet have some other
handle. Another thing about May, and
one you should not lose sight of: 1t is
an excellent month to start years
subscription to the PILOT. If you are
taking the paper yourself speak good

SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

About two years ago the department
of civic improvement of the Ladies'
Literary club placed number of gal
vanized iron boxes on prominent street
corners in the main part of the city as
receptacles for waste paper and other
refuse. Policemen and many OF our
citizens have found the boxes very
handy for the purpose intended and
loose materials found on the street have
been placed in these boxes and later
carted away. Since these boxes were
placed on the streets and since an ordi-
nance was passed prohibiting the throw
ing of hand bills promiscuously over
the main streets, our thoroughfares have
been kept tolerably clean. OF late some
Anticipated rascals have taken it upon
themselves TO destroy these boxes. The
ones on the court house corners have
been torn from their fastenings and
lammed into a shapeless mass and all
of them have been more or less misused.
The action of the ladies in supplying
these boxes is commendable and that
Wausau numbers in Its population such
contemplate ours as the ones who have
practically destroyed them is to be
regretted. The ones guilty of such acts
were undoubtedly brought up with a
pig sty attached to their kitchen

LAWRENCE GLEE CLUB.

The Lawrence Glee club gave an en-
tertainment in the Methodist church
Thursday evening to a very large
audience. Indeed it was the largest
audience which has turned out to like
entertainment in this city in many
day, and the program warranted the
attendance. From the opening num-
ber until the close there was not dull
moment and every number was highly
pleasing. The club came here heralded
as the best college glee club in the
state, not barring the one representing
the University of Wisconsin, and the
impression left here fully justifies all
claims for such reputation.
The program was varied one. 1t
included high class vocal music, by the
club as whole, by quartette and by
soloists; interpretive character recita-
tions and some acting. illustrating col
lege life.
During the time the boys were in the
city they visited the Lincoln and other
schools and sang several selections.
They were well taken care of by our
citizens. Five autos, trimmed with
Lawrence colors, lined up in parade
formation conveyed them about the
city They we're shown every section
of town and were much pleased with
their reception.
