L
DR.. Dawson gave us a good one.
On the 18th, next Monday, Father
Vaughn appears as the third num-
Der in the Peoples Lecture Course;
on the 21st VIM. B. Patty, lectures
on "Radium, Liquid Air and Wire
less Telegraphy." This is an extra
number in the Peoples Course and
is without extra charge to season
ticket holders. On the Oath Delbert
Lean lectures under the auspices of
the Epworth League and on the 29th
Chas. Dennison Kellogg appears as
the fourth regular number in the
Course as announced in the circul ar
| of the Committee. The date of the
Kellogg lecture was announced for
Jan. 81, but the date has bee n
changed to Jan. 20. So it will be
seen that we are to have four first
class entertainments this month.
The Lecture Course Committee had
arranged at the beginning of the
season for five entertainments but
the condition of the treasury war
rants the management in presenting
two extra numbers, all seven to be
given for one dollar to season ticket
holders. Consequently those who
hold season tickets will pay nothing
for the two extra numbers. Prof.
Patty's lecture is one of the extra
entertainments arranged for, the
second has not yet been definitely
determined upon. It has been in
timated by members of the Commit
tee that it will be either concert or
first class lecture.
On Friday evening, Feb. 28, Miss
Lillian Phelps of Boston will lecture
in the M. E. church under the aus
pices of the Boys Brigade. Miss
Phelps lectured here last August at
the Good Templars' Chautauqua.
Her subject was THE Eternal City,"
a subject that she presented to the
delight of her audience. She is a
scholar and a fine speaker. All who
heard her in THE Eternal City"
will not miss this lecture on the 28th
proximo and those who did not hear
her in her former splendid lecture
should be sure to hear this.
Henry Lewis returned to Plum
City yesterday after a weeks visit
with relatives in the city.
Mrs. Ulay McCollor left this after
noon for her home at Herman,
Mimi. She was called here two
weeks ago by the ILLNESS of her
father, William Gray.
The girl who has nothing to tie to
and needs fellow for hitchiug
post is reminded that 1908 is leap
year and her. chance. And when
she fastens to..her affinity-which we
hope it will be-she should be sure
to come to this office for her we'd
ding stationery. We have just the
loveliest!
John D. O'Keeffe of Gettysburg,
S. D., formerly of Kinnickinnic and
for several terms superintendent of
the schools of St. Croix county,
and Miss Amanda A. Polsfuss of
Wauseka, Mimi, were married in
St. Paul Dec. Is, 1907. Mr.. and
Mrs. O'Keeffe are visiting at the
home of his parents.
Some constituencies lunatic with
a heart like the gizzard of turkey
buzzard adv anced the idea a few
years ago that kissing was infec-
tious-not the OSCILLATION per Sc,
but from disease microbes, or germs,
we forget which. Now another
nincompoop tells US that dollar
bill is dangerous TO handle because
it is full of disease germs. But
who is afraid?
People that take note of the
weather are cognizant of the fact
that the past fall and winter up to
the present have been Respondent
in abundance of sunshine. Usual
", November has more cloudy than
clear days, but this fall that month
gave us an exceptionally large
number of sunny days. The spring
and summer were both remarkable
for cloudy skies and rain but from
September until now sunny weather
has generally prevailed. A strik-
ing feature of this latitude is that
when it is not cloudy the sky is very
clear. In no section of the country
where we have ever been are the
stars so bright at night and sun
light so brilliant during the day
as It is here.
