Eddie Coad is taking winter trip
to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and
Santiago, Cal. He will be gone for
several months and will return by way
of Portland and visit Yellowstone Park.
As it is leap year it is reasonable to
suppose that he is trying to get away
from the girls.
There is a likelihood that parents
are to some extent at fault if their
children would rather spend their even
ings anywhere else than home. The
home should be the best and most inter
esting place in all the world, and par
ents should realize more than they do
the Importance of making it so.
The other day we noted the case of
man who agreed to pay his wife 25
cents each day that she would walk a
mile. She had been in none too good
health and was somewhat in doubt
whether she would be equal to the
task. However, she persevered, with
the result that she seldom thereafter
knew sick day, while her husband
gave her less for keeping her bargain
than he had previously paid out for
Doctors bills.
The old railroad problem is again
attracting attention: 1.-TWO railroad
stations, A and B, are FIVE miles apart.
A train one mile long starts from sta
ton A. The brakeman waits till the
caboose comes along and gets aboard.
AS the train proceeds toward B the
brakeman walks in the direction of the
head Of the train. When the engine
reaches station B he gets off What
was the total distance he travelled?
How far did he walk? How far did he
ride?
DR. Brewer is hailed everywhere
by the afflicted as the "harbinger of
glad tidings." Few and far between
are the cases which he does not relieve.
If he is convinced that he cannot help
patients, he plainly tells them so, in
stead of doctoring them for the sole
purpose of getting their money. Dr.
Brewer makes his next visit for CON
sultation with persons suffering from
throat, heart, kidney or other chronic
ailments at the U. S. Hotel on Thurs
day, Feb 6.
Nearly one thousand graduates of
the state university are engaged in the
various branches of the United States
service in the Philippines; teachers,
scientists and other civil service posi-
tions along the lines of agriculture,
mining, forestry botany and in execu-
tive positions, etc. Other colleges and
educational institutions of the state are
also largely represented. Surely Wis
consin is contributing much of her best
influence in the betterment of the Fill
pinos in the arts of peace.
Seated far out on the limb of tree,
forty feet in the air, Fred Jensen, a
contractor of Racine, sawed the limb
off the tree, precipitating himself to
the ground below He was killed in
stantly. Jensen was employed trim
ming number of high trees. One of
the dead limbs could not be reached by
ladder; and without thinking of the
position he must take, the man climbed
out on the limb, selecting the place
where the trimming was to be begun,
and started to saw. After cutting
short ways through the wood, the
branch cracked and the workman was
thrown to the ground.
Under the compulsory education
law enacted by the last legislature, all
children between the ages Of 7 and ID
must attend school regularly, and those
