Sterling, poet. dreamer. author of
The Wine of Wizardry." which
Ambrose Bierce pronounces the great
est poem ever written In America. was
the direct cause of a special meeting Of
the board of library trustees IN the free
public library tonight. as the aftermath
of a clash between the poet and the
subjanitor. Edward P. Perrin. The
conflict began last Sunday afternoon
when Sterling visited the library to con-
suit the various dictionaries. 1t is sup
posed that the poet was driven at last
to a storehouse of vocabularies and In
fringed on the library rules. In that he
entered the main reference room on
Sunday. At that hour the reading
room alone was open to poet or bour-
geois, and the janitor reigned supreme,
with mop for scepter and a scrub
bucket for a crown, IN the reference
room when Sterling invaded hiSsSab-
bath domain.
Sterling was chaperoneo by Assistant
Librarian Epperson- The librarian,
says Janitor Perrin, was the butt Of
the indignation which Perrin felt As
Il result, Sterling felt that he was in
suited when the man who did real work
instead Of literary work objected. The
cause Of the objection was that Ster-
ling had come from the rain outside,
and, according to Perrin, it was Of no
use to scrub when a poet was allowed
10 wander at will even as Sterling's
imagination wandered the universe in
The Wine of Wizardry."
WRITES PROTESTING LETTER
Sterling wrote classic letter to the
board Of library trustees, and these
men, feeling some interest above the
ordinary for the man who helps I'LL
-
ing. Here is the letter:
"As citizen and tax payer wish to
protest against the treatment TO which
and one Of your library employees
were subjected last Sunday. February
> 1908. On that occasion your library
.enploye conducted me to the main
room, where I wished to consult the
dictionary for a minute. We were
verbally assailed by one Perrin. the
subjanitor in your library, in an out
rageously offensive manner. Inasmuch
Is we may have entered the main room
outside Of the proper hours I have no
disposition TO cavil at the protest Of
this janitor at our presence; but the
fact that his protest was in a grossly
insulting manner brands him as an
irresponsible hoodlum, a disgrace to
the board to which he owes the tenure
Of his position: a standing and con-
slant menace to the body of citizens
which your honorable body represents.
Begging leave TO subscribe myself.

tFrom Wednesdays Daily

Mr.. Joseph Dvorak, of whose doings
The Leader gave an account, died at
st. Mary's hospital at 2:3O p. m.
yesterday at an age of forty-fuur
years.
After Mr.. Dvorak had settled his
troubles Monday morning, he consulted
DR.. Shinnlck in order to arrange for a
rest and treatment ut the hospital
While doing 80, he assured the doctor
that he was very sorry for the hap
penings of late and said that he would
be good man again. That Mr..
Dvorak was sincere is evlnced by, the
repetition of his intention to be good
man. With these sentiments in his
heart and the consciousness of re-
conci iation, he went to Hrobsky home
on North Fourth street, reconciled
himself with his wife, asked for for
glveness and promised with tears IN
his eyes to dU better and be good
man, as he expressed it in his Bohemian
dialect. At the same tim. he informed
Mr.. Hrobsky that ne intended to take
rest for few days at the hospital
and be home on the farm in a few
days. With apparent contrition in
heart and feelings like unto "The
lost Son" in the Bible, he proceeded
to the hospital. 1t was Tuesday at
noon that The attending nurse observed
change for the worst in his condi-
! ton, which aroused her supsicion.
The nurse rhereupon telephoned for
DR.. Shlnnick and Father Theisen
whom the patient desired to see rela-
tive to spiritual consolation.
On the arrival of DR.. Shinnick, it
was evident that the exhaustion of Mr..
| Dvorak had taken an adverse turn for
the worse and that his end was only a
question uf time.
Mr. Dvorak died at 2: 80 p. m. yes
terday CTuesdsy) and will be buried
from the Hrobksy home to St. Henry's
cemetery on Thursday morning at 9 q.
m.
His wife, two sons, and married
daughter, living at Waterloo, survive
him. Mr.. Dvorak was known to be
a very industrious and honest man.
He came to this country from Bohemia
about twenty years ago. He lived
for i've years in the state of Kansas
and came to Watertown about fifteen
years ago, locating on the present
farm ON the west side in the Seventh
ward.

MAY CALL CON JENTION.

Hon. W. d. Conuor, chairman of
the Republican state central committee
has Issued call for a meeting of the
committee at Milwaukee On the 9th
inst. There ia some talk of calling a
state convention for the purpose of
unifying the party IN the state and
creating the necessary enthusiasm to
work for victory. The recent demo-
cratic state convention was an object
lesson to the republicans, many of
whom are like the lost children of
Israel, wandering around without name
or place, and, an Indifference and
apathy existing within the ranks of
the party which may eventuate in its
defeat in the state. The democrats
will be united and work as they have
never worked before, for they have
everything co gain and nothing to lose.

The activity of the University of
| Wisconsin in the anti -tuberculosls
movement is an encouraging sign vi
the times. This state institution Of
ours has recently peen commended al
the leading American exponent of
education along practical and useful
lines. The day seems to have gone
when the sole object of education and
learning is merely absorption of i'm
practical information and disciplinary
grinding in the classics. The present
day ideal of our public schools and
colleges is undoubtedly to teach the
coming men anu women how to live.
Learning how to live implies some
thing more than the mere requirement
of enough dollars to pay for the neces-
stiles and luxuries of life and when
| we are confronted with the fact that
2, BOG people die annually IN Wisconsin
from tuberculosis and that 10, 900 are
innocent sufferers from the disease,
nothing can be more important in our
educational system than spreading the
information that tuberculosis is An
unnecessary cause of poverty, suffering
and death
Every school uperIntendent, every
principal and every teacher down to
the lowest grades is not doing his full
duty to his high calling until he be-
comes personally familiar with the
readily understood problem. Informa-
tion is very accessible and the essen
tial principles are readily commuDi-
Gated to the youngest minds. "'' '''
When the full truth that tubercu-
los1s is communicable, preventable and
durable is realized, then will tubercu
losis be wiped off the earth. If this
result be accomplished by the time
that the school children of today have
grown to manhood and womanhood and
have taken the control of affairs into
their hands, wonderful achie7 ement
will have teen accomplished.

A GRATEFUL GUEST.
The Reward She Bestowed Upon Thos.
Who Entertained Her.


Human nature is a queer thing"
said the philosopher.
mot long ago some friends of mine
got badly down on their luck. Times
were SO hard for them that they scarce
ly knew which way to turn for the
necessities of life.
cat that most inopportune time they
received word from a woman friend Of
theirs that she was coming to visit
them for a few days. They were dis
mayed, but by the exercise of great in
genuity and by depriving themselves
to almost the vanishing point they
managed to entertain her and really to
set before her most excellent meals.
"After she left their affairs contin-
ued to grow even worse, If possible,
and while they kept up brave front l
was near enough to them so l couldn't
help knowing all about it, though they
were not aware that I saw the situa-
ton.
II thought it was time some of their
friends came to the rescue If a suitable
way could be devised, so / wrote the
woman who had been their guest
being slightly acquainted with her my
self-told her l would head the process
sion, would like her aid and would be
glad of any suggestions she could make
as to practical plan for helping our
old friends without hurting their prop
er pride.
Her reply gave me something to
think about for many a day. She said
she didn't care to help them, as they
already lived too well and set too ex-
pensive a table; that when she had
visited them they had a great deal
more to eat than was necessary and
that they must be very extravagant
people; that it was undoubtedly their
own fault they were in such trouble
and that it would probably teach them
to be more economical in future!'-

CHARMS FOR LUCK.
The Sort Of Superstitions Some Wall
Street Men Harbor.

SiTcSl "eIl T1dFpOTs
Let all the dear readers, feminine
gender, take cognizance of what fol
lows, for surely the fairer sex is, after
all, the stronger sex. Women know no
such abject obedience to superstitious
fears and signs as do the men. With
view to eliciting something of inter
est, the writer had a chance to put
certain question to a captain of indus
try. "Tut, tut" he replied suspicious
ly, you'd be getting me into trouble,
would you?" With a promise that no
names would be mentioned, he finally
agreed to tell thing or two.
The question was, Aren't men in
Wall street carrying all sorts Of queer
things to try to change their luck"
In answer to this the writer heard
some curious stories. One man of
worldwide fame, for example, carries
4 cane in the center Of which there is
a slender steel rod. Circling the rod
there are rings made of leather and of
hard rubber, like the washers that
plumbers use. Each seventh ring is
made of leather from the soles of the
shoes worn by the Millionaire during
what he considered his luckiest year.
Elephants and pigs as lucky charms
there are Of course in plenty, but the
proper caper is to wear the animal
pinned inside on the watch fob pocket.
Then there is another great financier
who carries with him gold ink we'll
and would never sign document with
fluid from another receptacle. Once
upon time, when he had, say, only
picayune million or two, he signed a
paper in deal that doubled, then ire
bled, his wealth. The ink used that
day was emptied into long gold tube
or well that he now carries. The ink
was used up, but to the well, so he
thinks, the good luck power has been
translated. Lucky coins pass from ia

The MISSING Window Pane.

Every kitchen has window with
one pane out in the Brazilian town of
Rio Grande do Sul," said cook. THAT
town is servants paradise. Servants
live In their own homes there. as they
should everywhere. They come to
work at Z in the morning, and they
quit at Z at night-a twelve hour day.
Quite long enough. The paneless win
dow is for the milkman, the baker, the
butcher, so that these traders can
leave their supplies-they usually come
early-in safe place. The Rio Grande
servant is, Of course, not there to re-

Last Sad Rites are Held.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Charles
Hildebrandt of Lake Mills, was held
Sunday afternoon at l 80 O'clock at
Ebenezer in the MoravIan church edi-
flee at that place, the services being
conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr..
Wrietenbach of Lake Mills, who de-
livered very impressive Sermon in
which he spoke of the many excellent
qualities of head and heart of the
deceased, and that the occasion was
one ut the saddest Of his experience,
for iC was the burial of d noble woman
whose departure will be a serious loss
to church and society. The music was
rendered by the Ebenezer church choir.
The church was crowded with relatives
and friends from Watertown, Lake
Mills, Sullivan, Rome and Pipersville,
all testifying by their presence Of
their love and respect for the loved
one who had fallen asleep here to
awaken in the realm where there will
be neither parting nor sorrow. The IN
terment was in the cemetery at Ebene-
Ger, where the remains Of loved ones
were laid to rest, such being the re-
quest Of the departed, made during the
illness preceding the final summons.
1t can be truly said, that a good woman
has gone to her reward.
The funeral Of the late Mrs. Joseph
Riehmer of the town of Clyman, was
held yesterday forenoon at 10 O'CLOCK
at St. Henry's church and the inter-
ment was in the church cemetery.

Monism is the doctrine of the one
