B. 3. NOTES

John Schmirler, pitcher of Marsh
field, who was given try-out with
Wausau last season, and Gus Callies,
who has been catching for local anna
teur teams, have signed to play with
the Seattle team of the Northwestern
league.
At the meeting of league officials and
team presidents held in Milwaukee
last Tuesday schedule for the season
was adopted. The season will start
May with teams playing as follows:
Wausau at Rockford, Green Bay at
Freeport, Fond du Lac at La Crosse,
Oshkosh at Madison.
In home holiday games Wausau
fares better than it did last year,
being given Memorial day as date for
two games with Rockford The season
will close on September 13 and total
of 126 games will be played. 1t was
decided to pool the receipts for the
Fourth of July games. President w.
R. Bryan of the Wausau club made a
strong fight to have the schedule so ar
ranged that our team could close the
season at home and he was successful.
Wausau, playing out on the road at the
close of last season, and Freeport play
ing at home undoubtedly cost us the
pennant At this meeting the transfer
of the Eau Claire franchise to Rockford
was formally made.

INCORPORATION WILL STAND.

The supreme court on Tuesday last
affirmed the decision of Judge Silver
thorn in the case arising from proceed
ings for the incorporation of the village
of Unity, and unless the protestants find
another card to play, the matter will
rest as the supreme court has decided
and the village will be an Incorporated
municipality.
The litigants have been fighting for
almost five years and when one case
ended adversely to the protestants,
another was Immediately started. The
matter has never been allowed to COOL
Cases have been tried in both Marathon
and Clark counties, petitions have gone
to the supreme court, writs of certiorari
have been issued and the proceedings
cover many thousand sheets of type
written paper.
The proceedings to incorporate the
village were begun in June, 1908, and
since then two elections have been held.
The village this year was represented on
the county board by L. H. Cook.
The claims of the protestants have
been that the village did not have the
required population to warrant incor-
poration, that it did not contain the re-
quired territory and that the confines,
as surveyed, were irregular and pastial
to certain property owners.
Those who opposed the incorporation
were greatly in the minority. The peo.
pie have been so worked up over the
affair that whenever decision came
from the supreme court, it was received
with such enthusiasm that torch light
procession invariably followed.

USELESS RESOLUTION 2

The city council, at its meeting on
March 10 passed a resolution making it
misdemeanor for minor to enter a
saloon and misrepresent his age in such
manner as to get drinks thereby. The
penalty was fixed at from $5 to S25 fine
or by Imprisonment in the county Jail
not to exceed ninety days. To great
many people the above resolution looks
like the fifth wheel on a wagon, in view
of the fact that there is state law
under which such minors can be prose-
cuted, almost similar in effect. 1t is
doubtful whether such ordinance would
son that it conflicts to some extent with
the provisions of the state law. The
Wisconsin Legislature at its session of
1907 passed section 1557m OF chapter
l72, reading as follows:
ANY minor over eighteen years of
age who shall willfully represent that
he is of age, for the purpose of asking
for or receiving any strong, spirituous
or malt liquors from any keeper of any
saloon, shop or place of any name
whatsoever for the sale of strong, spir-
ituous or malt liquors. except in cases
authorized by law, shall be punished by
fine of not less than one dollar, nor
more than fifteen dollars, or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail not to ex-
ceed ten days or by such fine and inn
prisonment."
The state law is milder in its terms
1t only affects minors over eighteen
years Of age and the penalty is less
severe than .Wausau's city ordinance.

SOME NICE FRUIT.

George Mcintosh has an interest in a
fruit farm in Cuoa. Some four years
ago a number purchased 1000 acres and
planted it with fruit trees averaging 50
to the acre, so now they have 1000
trees bearing fruit this year. The
varieties are principally oranges, grape
fruit and tangerines. Mills Bros, of
Chicago, handle and distribute the fruit
and last Wednesday, of the first ship
ment ever made from the farm. sent
MIR. Mcintosh several boxes of grape
fruit and tangerines. A part of these
were placed in the store of Kruger &
Rick where they were disposed of. II
was a nice lot of fruit.

"PRINTtR'S DEVIL"

The term printers devil as applied to
the boy who does the choring around a
printing Office has peculiar romantic
history. In early days printing was
styled the "black art" and printers
were supposed TO be in league with
Satan. But it was in the time of Aldus
Minutius in Venice that the matter took
a serious turn. This was the famous
printer who first published the Greek
and Roman classics. He took into his
employ negro boy who was homeless
on the streets of Venice. The people
supposed the boy was an imp from
Satan and that he assisted in printing.
Mobs collected about the Office and
were about TO wreck it, when the boy
was brought forward and exhibited
showing that the boy was flesh and
blood, but he was still called "the
printers devil" and every boy III his
position ever since has been so called.

DOTTED TEARS WON SUIT.
Extraordinary Letter by Father of
Spurned Girl Read in Court.

A thousand dots were in a letter
which was read in breach of promise
action at Chester Sheriff's court re-
Gently.
These are not kisses, but tears"
the letter, which was of an extraor-
binary character, explained.
Last year a Cheadle cab proprietor.
named Arthur Morrell, met Elizabeth
Ann Rhodes, an Ashton-under-Lyne
mill forewoman, who is now 20 years
old, at wedding party.
He apparently fell in love and wrote
her many letters and post cards. In
February last they became engaged,
and the wedding was to have taken
place in September, but the cab pro-
prietor wrote asking the young woman
to let him free, as their social con-
ditions were not quite equal"
The young woman's father in reply
wrote the letter, which was read in
court:
when you go to church apd sing
your praise try to think of the lass
you have now spurned and left with a
broken heart.
When you uplift your voice in
prayer, may the heaven be as brass.
May God repay thee for what thou
hast done"
Then followed 1000 dots and these
words:
These are not kisses, but tears
from mothers and daughters hearts,
which before they knew you never had
a care.
May you for every tear that falls
and every throb in their hearts repent
it millions and millions of times over
and over again, and every time you
look at a lass or hear the church bells
chime at night when you go to sleep,
and at morn when you awake, may
you think of this letter and lass with
a broken heart"
The jury awarded $40 damages

NEARLY EATEN BY WOLVES.
Prominent Rhinelander Citizens Are
freed by Animals. but are Rescued.

The following is taken from the Mil
waukee Sentinel of Friday:
Thomas b. Wood, one of the lead
ing hardware merchants of the city,
and DR.. Chas. C. McIndoe, a member
of the state dental board, had narrow
escape from being eaten by wolves to.
day. They were crossing the Wiscon-
sin river on the ice when they were al
tackled by three of the animals. The
only weapon they had was an axe, but
with this they managed to fight the
wolves off while they retreated to an
island, where they tried to escape the
animals by climbing trees. The trees
were small ones, and they were unable
to get beyond the reach of the wolves,
which bit both of them badly. Their
cries brought others to the rescue, and
the wolves fled, leaving one of the num-
ber dead"
Mr.. McIndoe was a former citizen of
Wausau and is a relative of Walter
Alexander.

ArnoId's Question We'll Answered.

There are renewed efforts to paint
Benedict Arnold in clean, white col
ors. They remind writer of the fol-
lowing anecdote: On one of his raids
Arnold captured an American officer
in Virginia After few days he said:
Captain, what would our countrymen
do with me if they caught me?" well,
SIR" replied the captain, IF | must
answer the question, l should say that
if my countrymen should catch you
they would first cut off your lame leg,
which was wounded in the cause of
freedom and virtue at Quebec, and
bury it with the honors of war; then
they would hang the remainder of
your carcass on q gibbet."

Yes, a lean hand, with long knife, u

out Of the darkness of the porch
crept silently. The body drew itself
together for a fatal spring on the un-

The crouching figure sprang and,
with a hideous cry, fell stricken on
the flags. Just below the neck, full on
the spine, had crashed the virgin with
the lamp Sterkoff lay very still save
that his fingers scratched the flags.
Turning, the prince saw a bronze fig
