'Is 1t Jimmy Stagg?" asked Percy,

shrinking a little under the slap on his

A porter leaped for Percy's suitcase
aud Jimmy hoisted his boyhood friend
into the car. In another minute the
train was sliding out of the junction
and Percy was gasping at his luxurious
surroundings from the depths of a
leather upholstered chair.
Whose car is this, anyway" asked
Percy, as soon as he got his breath.

SODA FOUNTAIN QUICK LUNCH.

People Are Giving Up the Old
Fashioned "Straisht" Drinks.
Double sundae-peaches :" said the
tall young man.
The man behind the saltwater
fountain dropped two ladlefuls of ice
cream into a tall glass and poured a
plentiful supply of fruit juice over it,
says the New York Post.
Egg and matted milk and ice cream,
and shake 'em all up good" quoth the
next customer. The order sounded
oddly, but the creamy product that was
poured into the glass looked both re-
freshing and palatable.
Are those recently invented
drinks?" an interested observer asked
mot specially" was the reply. 1--WE
fill any order they give US here-no
matter what the combination is. Peo-
nle are getting so they invent their
own drinks more'n they used to. The
number that takes an old-fashioned
straight soda is growing smaller every
day. We have to do some mighty
queer mixings here.
II think" he continued as he drop
ped a spoonful of ice cream into a lem
onade, ''it comes partly because q
whole lot Of folks get their luncheons
here during the summer time. A
straight soda's mostly gas, and it amt
filling for very long. But when you
add matted milk or eggs or ice cream
or all three it makes a pretty substan-
tial meal.
1T amt only those who patronize
the dairy lunches that come here Any
man who makes himself think he's
dieting during hot weather can get
here Just the sort of a sustaining drink
he's looking for. There's one man who
has come here every day for a month,
and never drinks the same combination
twice He's ordered some wonderful
mixed drinks, and they always foot up
to Is or 20 cents at least. One healthy
looking woman lunches on three sun
daes' every noon. She takes them in a
single order in high glass, SOS not to
attract attention.
Not more than half of the orders
include soda in any shape" he added
as he pushed a plate of crackers to-
ward man who was slipping
from glass into which coffee,
an egg and matted milk had been
poured, land milk drinks are all
the go just now. That's proof
that the customer is taking his
lunch here. He wouldn't order a milk
drink on top Of chicken croquettes or
before it. No, sir; we serve the cheap
est sort of quick lunch at double-quick
time you can get anywhere in the city.
That's why we're so busy"

THE SILENT RULER.

We only know he walks with noiseless
tread,
Unresting ever-voiceless as the dead.
We only know he brings us loss or gain,
The rose of pleasure, or the rue of pain
All changes manifold of life or death,
From leafs promise to dying breath.
We only know when this old earth and
sky
Pass into nothingness, he cannot die
The silent ruler with his scythe and
glass,
Our Father Time, who sees the nations
Yet gives no token over land or sea
OF his new reign-the yelled eternity.

MOUNTAIN GIRL MooNsHINERs.
School Children Peddle the Booze In
Kentucky.

4AC-ko$Oys
Moonshining by school children In
the newest phase in this species cf
lawlessnesS in Kentucky. They are
being sent by their parents and others
TO solicit trade in the mountain settle
ments and along the mountain roads.
On their way to school they carry the
drink. dispensing it to whomsoever will
buy, and after school they are sent TO
deliver it to the village customers.
Whether the moonshiners believe that
by making their children the puryey-
ors of the whfskey they may escape de-
lection or whether they realize that
the little ones win more customers, in
spectors say that more children are
sent out and each day more of the
illegal liquor is sold. Although govern
ment sleuths have driven the willy
mOonShiners to such straits, the SYM
pathy of their neighbors in the noun
tains has not decreased. By moonshin-
er and many mountain villagers alike,
moOnshining is regarded as a legiti-
mate business, and government inspec-
tors are regarded when it is safe to do
so, as marks for guns.
So there are many persons in such
sections. primitive in their instincts,
and thirsty enough to violate the law,
ready to buy the liquor when there is
a knock at the door and child stands
there, school bag over the shoulder
albeit school bag that says suspi-
ciously with weight.
This. the newest and most startling
development of the moonshine traffic in
mountain Businesses, follows what the
government officials thought was a
virtual suppression of moonshining.
Last fall they announced that they
had stamped out the illegal business.
But they have found that illegal dis
tilling is no sooner stopped in one sec
ton than other stills, mushroom like,
spring up almost over night in another.
During recent years a number of
women have been arrested on charges
of moonshining Some of them had
evaded the search of revenue agents
for many months. Their stills are
usually well secreted deep in the noun
tain Businesses and it takes a careful
search to find them. Women of the
mountains in the moonshining belt
have long been noted for their bravery.
Often they have stood by their men,
and they handle a gun as well as their
lovers, husbands or sons.
Now that the children are being
trained in the Illicit business the prob
lem of moonshining becomes more seri-
Gus still and the suppression Of it will
become more difficult.

OSHKOSH HAS BIG FIRE.
COnfagratfOn ut Morgan Co. Lumber
Yard Does SS6.OOO Damage

Losses totaling about $4,000 were sus-
tanned at an early hour the other morn
ing in a fire in the lumber yard of the
Morgan company on the south side of the
river in Oshkosh. The loss to the Nor
gan company is estimated at $4,000.
Other property owners having losses
which bring the total up to $4,000 are
the II. G.. DOMAIN company, engine build
ers; Major r. P. Davidson of High
land Park, ILL.,, who lost a cabin launch ;
John Gutenberg, Samuel Hawthorne and
w. F. DOMAIN. The fire was made more
severe by a gale of wind which carried
the embers far up into the business sec
ton of the city. Several small fires were
started, but were put out by volunteer
firemen.

NO STATE TAXES AGAIN.
Appropriation OF $45G,OOO for Capt.
toll Taken from General Fund

toll Taken from General Fund.
No State tax will be levied in Wiscon-
sin this year except the usual tax of
$157 $40 to pay the interest on the bonded
Indebtedness which has regularly been
levied since the Indebtedness was incur
red during the Civil War. In accordance
with discretionary power conferred by
law, Gov. Davidson, Secretary of State
Frear and State Treasurer Dahl removed
the necessity for levying a State tax by
transferring from the general fund to the
capitol building fund the sum of S450,000,
the amount which the last Legislature
provided should be raised by special State
tax this year to help erect the new State
house. This was done because the general
fund now has 81, 563 457 so that S45O,OOO
can be taken from it without any likeli-
hood of its being exhausted by the de-
mands made upon it during the coming
year. The estimated additional receipts
are $5,301 .070 and disbursements in 1907,

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
feshtigo Logger Buried Beneath an
Avalanche of Logs.

Reg BrOuette, a Peshtigo man, had a
miraculous escape from death. He was
working on logging landing when the
logs started to roll. His foot became
caught and he was unable to move. Twen-
y fellow workmen saw the logs moving
toward him without being able to render
the slightest assistance. The logs struck
Brouette, knocked him down and ten of
them, or over 1000 feet, rolled right over
his PROSTATE body. 1t was expected that
his crushed and mangled body would be
found, but instead Brouette had been
buried in the soft ground and mud and
had escaped almost uninjured. The logs
were rolling toward the river at the time.

sin Town Causes 100000 Loss.
Fire which started in the Gordon bak-
cry shortly before midnight threatened
the destruction of the entire town of
Barron, and it was not until after 8
o'clock in the morning that the flames
were gotten under control. The Com
mercial hotel, the Methodist parsonage
and the opera house were destroyed, en-
failing a loss that is estimated at $780,
600. Many smaller buildings and resi-
dences were consumed by the flames. The
origin of the fire is unknown. A strong
wind was blowing at the time and fire
brands were carried distance of several
hundred feet, endangering the residence
portion of the town. The pump at the
city water works broke and dynamite
was resorted to to check the flames. Three
blocks are in ruins and fifteen families
are homeless

came to Oshkosh in an auto, had close
shave from a plunge into the Fox river
in the evening at s o'clock on Main

searching party working in the
thicket on the Riley farm, south of Ke-
nosha, found the missing skull of Frank
Clope, portions of whose body were found
the previous Sunday. The skull had a
bullet hole in it. 1t is evident that the
bullet which ended the life of Clope was
fired from short range, and this seems to
confirm the suicide theory.
