men to be proclaimed in the city of David by a Savior who is Christ the Lord. Of the kings Of the East with their treasures and their wisdom, we hear nothing, nor yet of the wonder full star. These stories did not appeal to St Luke, who drew with a purpose. and whose picture is unified by a sim gle thought. He wanted to show what sort of men and women are great in the sight of the Lord" and he includ- ed none who might be considered great in the sight of men. Paul and the be- loved physician were men of far wid- CT cultivation than the immediate dis ciples of Christ. They knew another world than that of Palestine. a world which puts its trust in philosophy, in money, and in men-at-arms; but both believed with a God-given as- surance that salvation would be brought about by none of these things. Against the power of the Spirit the Roman legions and the Roman logic would stand, they knew. in vain. and St Paul, as he ''reaped his teeming brain and cast his sheaves before the world bound up in bands of paradox. declared that God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to con- found the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to con- found the things which are mighty yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are.
 This is the key to St. Luke's Christ mas picture. With regard to the worldwide nature of Christs mes sage he was in ardent acquiescence with his hero St. Paul It is he who reported the sermon on Mars hill, he who deprecates the narrower concep- ton of the saints at Jerusalem; but sincere believer though he was in Paurs theology, he believed yet more surely in Christ's religion. It must have been as plain to him as it is tc us that the little group chosen tc ' protect the infancy of the Incarnate Word were not chosen for their poli- ] tical or theological clearness of vision l But it Is the pure in heart who see  ' God, however mistaken their theories of the cosmos, The babe whom his joy. l full mother imagined upon the throne | of David was to hang in obedience tc l the will of God upon q Roman cross

It is astonishing how great a change few years Of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a flower which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, faint echo of the charming maiden. Few young women appreciate the shock uf the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understand ing that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness.
 As surely as the general health suffers when there is Arrangement of the health of the delicate womanly organs, so surely when these organs are established in health the face and form at once witness to the fact in renewed comeliness. More than a million women have found health and happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Itmakes weak women strong and sick women well.

It can do no harm in 1ny condition Of the system.

DETAILS OF DAMS
CONSTRUCTION
ACROSS-RIV LENGTH OF $50
FEET BETWEEN WALLS OF SAND
STONE ON BED.
STEEL AND TIMBER MIXTURE.
Foundation Work Completed on the
West Part of the Dam-This Was
Started Year Ago,

Since visiting the K1lbourn dam it
has occurred to us that one feature Of
the work is worthy special mention.
Stupendous as is the entire undertak-
ing, almost beyond the power of
language to convey any appreciable
description of, the construction of the
dam proper is a feature that may in
terest many readers.
AS stated before, the dam when fin
ished will have a length across-river
of about 450 feet. At the point of con-
struction, the river is narrow, being
confined between high walls of sand
stone. To force the great volume Of
water between these solid barriers
makes the stream, of necessity, very
deep, at normal stages about 81 feet.
So the construction rests and has to
begin on bed rock, 81 feet below nor
NAL water in the river. In other
words, the dam will have attained a
height of 81 feet before it can be seen
by the naked eye. Above this point
it will rise Is feet, total height of 81
feet from the foundation at the bottom
of the stream. Even when completed
the work will not show the enormity
of this feature of the undertaking, be-
cause more than two-thirds of it is
hidden from sight below the surface of
the stream.
From front to back, the dam has a
thickness of 154 feet. The average
city lot is 1872 feet deep, so this dam
will be % feet wider than is city lot
deep. Think of the enormous weight
of solid concrete construction 154 feet
in thickness, with height of So feet.
Besides the great weight, the work is
reinforced with steel and timber so
that it cannot break in two-if it moves,
the entire structure will have to slide
down stream as a mass, a condition
hard to fancy as possible.
Foundation work is completed on
the west half of the dam. The Golfer
dam for this part was put IN about a
year ago, and after the water had been
pumped out sand and cement were
put in for the foundation. In this
concrete were set $50 piles of heavy
oak, rising nearly to the surface of the
river. On these heavy piles will
rest the frame work of the construction.
This frame work will be put together,
as if it were to be a frame dam, but
when it is in place the whole interior
of it will be filled with crushed stone
and cement, hammered into solid
mass. So the frame work will be
thoroughly covered and filled with
concrete. It will look like it is all
concrete, so entirely will the timbers
and steel be imbedded.
To put in the cofer-dam was no in
considerable task. At that point the
current is very swift, and that the
temporary structure might withstand
it and "hold water" was problem for

FERN DELL WILL CELEBRATE,

G. G. Watson, in company with AL
bert Harrison, was in Baraboo Wednes-
day making arrangements for a grand
celebration at Fern Dell on the shore of
Mirror lake on the Fourth of July. Mr..

races, boating, horse race, fireworks
and dancing afternoon and evening.
Although there are many celebrations
this year, Mr.. Watson proposes to make
this one pleasure to all who attend.
Fishing is said to be good at Mirror

engineers to solve. The area enclosed
by the coffer-dam was 154x250 feet,
and OF course the work had to rest on
the bottom of the river. Cribs of heavy
timbers were made, filled with broken
rock ahd sunk at the proper place
Outside these cribs was put strong
planking, reaching down 81 feet to the
river bottom. Cracks were battened
and large holes slugged with bags of
clay.
To stop these holes at the bottom,
the services of a diver have been in
constant demand, for the temporary
cotter-dam persists in springing
leaks and the work on the foundation
inside the enclosed area must be done
while it is pumped out. Pumps that
throw six-inch stream are lifting the
water that leaks in day and night, so
that men may be there dry shod to
tamp in the concrete. During the
spring freshet, while the old Wiscon-
sin was on its regular rampage, the
river ran over the coffer-dam many
feet deep.
1t is expected that the first half of
the dam will be completed this sum-
mer. In the meantime work on the
power house is being pushed forward
and another year will witness the con-
struction of the last half of the dam
and the finishing of the job.

the meantime the dog died. AS ne
really had no dog when it came tax
paying time it was decided to refund
the dollar.
Alderman McFetridge called the at
tention of the council to the fact that
an underground driveway had not
been built at Crawford's crossing. He
had seen Superintendent O'Brien and
in discussing the matter it was deem
ed advisable to see other officials of the
Chicago and Northwestern.
There was some discussion as to
whether or not sewer should be laid
on Eleventh street before the paving
was done. Alderman McFetridge
wanted more time to think about it
and Alderman Jacobs moved the mat
ter come before the council, as this
should be decided in order not to delay
the paving. It was voted to bring the
matter up at once, but Alderman Nc
Fetridge objected on the ground that
the committee had not reported. City
Clerk Workman and City Attorney
Kelley believed that the council was
in proper bounds to act.
Alderman Hofstatter reported that
the property owners on Eleventh de-
sired very much to have the sewer
built.
Notwithstanding the objections of
Mr.. McFetridge, the chairman of the
sewer committee, the council decided
to take up the matter and proceed All
voted in favor except Mr.. McFetridge.
The cost will be about $500.
The committee, to which had been
referred the petition of teamsters for an
increase in wages, reported unfavor-
ably and the matter was laid on the
table.
The contract for cutters on Ash,
Eleventh and East streets was let to
Charles Bender and for the crossings
and catch basins to Laird & Shepard.

The bridges will receive attention.
William Schneider was granted per-
mission to build an automobile house.
An ordinance was adopted to con-
struct a sewer on First, Rosaline and
Water streets.
1t was decided to purchase three ad-
ditional seats for the court house park.
Sections of Ninth and Elizabeth
streets will be made more passible.
The Wisconsin postoffice clerks were
invited to come in 1909, according TO q
resolution by Alderman Power.
Alderman Welk introduced a resolu-
ton to provide one or more drinking
places about the court house, for, as he
explained, there is no place outside of
the saloons and stores where people
can obtain a drink. City Engineer
French will make the water flow be-
fore July 4.
