Nay, but because in the very warn

The time comes to a man when

Our Yesterdays ::: =: :.:' ';'

The interesting topic of Our Yester-
days and What to Do With Them
was the subject of the sermon at Phil
lips Congregational church Sunday
The Rev. p. A. Simpkin dealt with both
the thought of what our attitude should
be to its memories and also our action
In the light of the moral condition of
the soul
The text of the evening was Thou
shalt remember all the way which the
Lord thy GOD hath led thee"
Mr.. SimpRin said. in part:
we shall have begun to realize the
perspective of eternity. The unity of
life is truth which holds alike thought
for smile and cheer, for gravity and Sc
robustness. A yesterday is only a pos
sible comprehension for us as we think
of it as a part of the life whose be-
ginning OF expression lies behind u.s.
The sweet innocence of infancy, the
sunny life of the happy childhood flood
ed with a glory like to heavens own;
the youth that flushed beneath the con-
scious stain of the worlds evil; the
maturing life that lies between mid
morn and mid-afternoon; the long even
ing creeping to the purple night of the
last sleep and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
are all not sections of life, but one
life, and into its succeeding develop
evil, that make the shadow and the
light of it, the sorrow and the joy.
1T is not that today is not free to
mold and create, but that its dream
and its power are determined for larger
or smaller, finer or baser end. by the
dominance of yesterday, in the sense Of
the past's survival

The Victory of Yesterday.

David, sitting on the tower and
dreaming of the temple he fain would
frame into unmatched beauty, a tribute
to the God of Israel, thinking of cedar
and gold, of marble and bronze, of altar
and incense, dreams in vain Out of
the past come threads dyed in blood,
the blood of lust and hate, and wound
about his wrists they hold him pris-
oner. His yesterday was master, and
he but types all life in his bondage to
that he had been. The limitations of our
lives were set in the passion-driven
stakes of the yesterday. 1t is not that
yesterday makes destiny, but that it
molds present service and possibility
Why should one remember the yes
terday? Because of the good they
shrine, because of the gentle and beauti-
full things they hold for our hearts, be-
cause of that which the goodness of
God has tucked into the days The
mellowest, sweetest lights life can know
are those which shine from the bea-
cons of the hearts yesterday. "A man
is affected so largely by that he chooses
to remember of the yesterday. If his
emphasis be upon the bitter things. the
fallen castles, the shattered dreams, he
will build no fair thing for the chill
dren of men or for his own heart And
while a poets song may be refined in
the baleful light of the pyres that con-
stunned the treasure of his life, or one
may stain the sable wing of melan-
choly a darker hue to point life's preg-
nant lesson of vanity. the great use of
the past by the wise man is that in
which the good and the inspiring. the
refining and the sanctifying are recalled
to make melody in the heart and crown
the life with sunny hope

brandy and large cheese. These
we're, later, taken to the fleet, well
fastened with ropes and sunk in the
river. We had four planks, from the
shore to the RATS, and they were ar
radged so that any one trying to get on
TO the fleet would end up in the river
and that is what happened to the sheriff
and the saloon keeper in the morning
at about O'Clock, when they came
down with a search warrant to try and
find the missing goods. They could
not find anything, so left, wet and
angry and there was a good deal of
swearing in German and English.
We pulled out about 8 o'clock a. m.
and run to Castle Rock where it re-
quired four days work % to pry off the
fleet; but we had great time during
those four days.
Are there any of the old boys in Wau-
sau now? If so, give them my kindest
regards. | would like to make just one
more trip out the river and then could
say, without regrets, Good bye.'A

REGISTERS TO ORGANIZE.

A convention has been called in Mil
waukee for the purpose of organizing
the registers of deeds of the different
counties of Wisconsin into state body.
This will be done for self protection Of
the members so tha; they can act as a
unit in fighting obnoxious laws, fixing
fees, etc One of the first moves to be
made will be that of pushing bin be-
fore the state legislature for the repeal
of the present law which provides that
all births, marriages, deaths, accidents,
etc, shall be recorded with the clerks
of the different towns in which they
occur, instead of with the register of
deeds, as under the old law There are
several objections to the new law.
First, under it there are no records on
file in the court hsuse where they be-
long. Second, it is very inconvenient
To go to one of the town clerks to look
up any record. Third, the records are
not kept as Systematically as they
would be if the matter was left with
the register of deeds. Fourth, under
the present system the salary Of each
register of deeds is greatly cut down.
This fall nearly every register of deeds
in the state brought the matter before
the county board of his county, with
the result that in nearly every instance
petitions to the legislature for the re-
peal of the law were passed. The state
meeting will be convened tomorrow.

HIGHLY RECON- MENDED.

AT the prayer meeting of the Presby
terian church last Thursday evening,
the pulpit supply committee reported
that it had visited le Rev JAS NJ Duer,
of Chicago, and had invited him to come
TO Wausau aud visit our people He IS
at present the student pastor of the
University of Illinois in which work he
has been engaged for the past two
years. After his graduation from a
school of divinity and his ordination he
was engaged for four or five years as an
assistant to the pastor of the Fourth
Presbyterian church of Chicago. Then
he accepted the pastorate of the church
in Hillsboro. ILL.,. where he served five
years, when he took up his present
work. He was described as being
about thirty eight years of age, over six
feet in height and man of splendid
physique. Letters of recommendation
were read by the committee and these
letters spoke of Mr. Duer in very latter
ing terms He will conduct services in
the local Presbyterian church on Dec.
% and Jan 8 and will be among our
people during the week intervening
between those dates

MORE SHOP TALK.

There are just nine more days left, TO
do your shopping before Christmas.
Merchants report that their business
has been very good the past ten days,
and that the people are becoming edu-
Gated to the fact that it is better 10
every way. The custom of early shop
ping is better for people and more
satisfactory for the merchants and
clerks. Good sleighing at the present
time would greatly stimulate business
There is so much competition in every
line of business in this city at the pres
ent day that to meet expenses and
make fair profit, merchants can no
longer depend for living on the city
peoples trade alone 1t is fact not
generally known that there are more
stores, carrying larger stocks of goods
in Wausau today, than can be found in
most any other city in Wisconsin of its
size or larger. Any travelling salesman
will tell you this When the Marathon
county farmers are prosperous the
Wausau merchant feels the warmth of
the same life blood. Therefore to help
business at this season of the year, the
farmer must have sleighing so as to
market his wood products to get cash
with which to purchase.
To those who have not done their
Christmas shopping as yet, we would
suggest that they glance over the adyer
tising columns of the Pilot and see what
our advertisers have to say. Last week
the PILoT carried 925 inches of display
advertising or 3Sa columns. This week
we carry more. 1t is plain to be seen
that the merchants consider this paper
a good advertising medium or we would
not be so literally patronized. Much
of this advertising has come to us un-
solicited. The wise merchant sees the
value of early advertising He does
not wait until the last minute to fire
his gun, any more than would the mill
owner or factory man, when he discov-
ers leak in his dam, wait until the
structure is undermined before making
repairs. 10 either case the last minute
is the fatal one.

FIRE IN EDGAR.

On Thursday morning last Mayor j.
+. Lamont received a telephone mes
sage from the village of Edgar. asking
for the use of our fire engine in that
village, as at that time burning ware
house threatened the destruction of
many other buildings The engine
was taken to the e Il N w Ry. yards
ready for loading onto flat car. when
another message came, saying that the
engine was not needed
1t appears that during the early
morning hours a hre broke out in
Supervisor A. Cherney's warehouse.
In the warehouse was stored oils and
many other things of an inflammabe
nature. The villages equipment for
lighting fires is so inadequate that there
was absolutely no possibility of saving
the building The fire spread to another
warehouse some distance away and
caused some destruction and also con-
sumed quantity of cord wood, bolts,
etc The loss to Mr.. Cherney will
foot up TO several thousand dollars.
What caused the fire is unknown.

FURNISH REPORT.

Pursuant to a demand made by mem
bers of the democratic county Dec. 5
upon Walter Alexander, treasurer of
the republican county committee, to file
an itemiZed statement of expenditures
made during the last campaign, Mr..
Alexander on Friday filed such report
1t is even more voluminous report
than that filed by the democrats, show
ing that the republicans had more
money than did the democrats and were
good spenders. The total receipts were
$3423. 76 of which sum 81 ,525 was donated
by seven candidates for office. The
balance, 81 ,S9S as was given by local
men of money. The latter contributed
nearly as much as the entire democratic
campaign fund amounted to, notwith-
standing the fact that democrats re-
ceived donation from the state central
committee.
The report shows that the republicans
spent every cent of their receipts
There is wide difference between this
report and the one filed by Mr. Chesak
Il week previous. At the time Mr.
Chesak filed his report Mr.. Alexander
was out of the city Mr.. Chesak's
figures covered just those amounts of
money which passed through his hands
as chairman of the committee, and did
not include bills paid by Mr.. Alexander
as treasurer. Thus it was incomplete.
misleading and gave the impression
that the republicans got through the
campaign very lightly. Further, it was
not itemized, as is required by law, and
one, in reading it could not tell whether
the money had been spent for speakers,
pursuaders, tutti-fruiti or peanuts. At
any rate the statement should not have
been filed because it was incomplete
and was no statement all.
This prod by the goadstick, in the
hands of the democrats, may have a
good healthy effect upon some of our
republican friends in the future. Let
them live up to the law. 1t is repub-
lican law, passed by republican
legislature, and what is good for the
goose is good for the gander.
