Good Old Age

The following item taken from Mil
waukee paper will be of interest to the
older residents in this section of Jeffer-
son county.
Grandma" BudlOng, widow Of former
State Senator Budlong and mother of
Mrs. S. W. Tallmadge. Milwaukee, Mrs.
Dewitt Mead of Minneapolis, and two
sons celebrated the anniversary of her
eighty-eighth birthday Sunday at the
home of her daughter in Milwaukee.
Mrs. BudlOng, who was born and reared
in Rochester, N. Y, came to Wisconsin
in 1856, and for two years resided at
GAINESVILLE, from where she went to Wat
erlO0. Wis.,, coming from there to Mil
waukee, in 1879, after the death of her
husband, whe was for years one of the
leading politicians of this state. She
was personally acquainted with Martin
Van Buren,, William H. Seward and other
famous New Workers of the earlier days,
and Mrs. Budlong, who is IAN uncompro-
missing Democrat" is perhaps one of the
best posted women upon the history of
her country to be found in the United
States. She still enjoys the best of
health and says she fully expects to reach
100 or more.
FOrty-eight years ago, the editor of the
Leader, then mere lad boarded for sew
eral weeks with the good old lady at
Waterloo, her husband and herself keep
ing the Budlong house. and shall never
forget how kind she was to him and how
pleasant she made it for homesick boy
who had enlisted to defend the flag and
preserve the Union. May she live CEN
turY and more. is his sincere wish.

She Had the Money

An amusing incident occurred in the
waiting room in depot not an hundred
miles from Watertown. Monday morning,
the result OF which will be to teach a
young man lesson, and one, too, which
he will not quickly forget.
4 woman weighing at least two hun
dred pounds, with mother written all
over her broad, flushed face, stepped to
the ticket window and asked the price of
a ticket to Superior. She was told. TAX
ing from her pocket purse, she counted
the contents. She seemed surprised and
said: "Why, there amt enough there"
WhereupOn the young man said, tartly:
What did you come here for, if you
haven't money enough?"
Looking benighingly over the rim Of
her spectacles, the old lady said: Never
you mind, bub, about me not having
money enough. Turn your face the
other way" and unfastening the butt
of her dress waist, from the capacious
depths of some where. she extracted a
roll of bills, the size of which made
"bub's' eyes bulge out. Selecting a bill,
she replaced the roll in the safety de-
pOslt vault" and then said: Nov.
sonny, give ne that ticket, and don't be
sassy again"
She was given the ticket, and as she
sat down to wait for the train she gave
vent to sounds which can never we'll be
reproduced on an Edison record.

Shanghai has its first motor

RiQht Arm Fractured

Thursday of last week while Gertrude,
the nine year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs, O. A. Schatz was playing on teter-
board in the city park, between Eighth
and Ninth streets, she fell and fractured
her right arm at the elbow. A physician
was called and the fracture reduced and
the child is doing as well as could be ex-
pected considering the injury. 1t might
be good idea for the Park board to pro-

Whittier Are We Going?

Editor Leader: In the last meet
ing of the common council two pc
titions were presented--one to
change the sidewalk line two feet
from the lot lire, or in effect;
special permission to break an ord
nance; and the other to appropri-
ate part of the public highway by
constructing a chimney protruding
20 inches on one of our most I'M
portant streets.
Verify. this is a case of sowing
the wind and reaping a whirlwind.
By allowing the construction of
two bay windows protruding on a
public highway, several years ago,
the ball was started a rolling and
opened up the field for applicants
for special privileges. By illegally
permitting this later more of these
unsightly projections we're allowed
Store Window, Weighmaster' S
Lookout, Brick Chimneys-all be-
cause the officials did not have
backbone enough to look to the
peoples interests. Strange to say
they did turn down one petition;-
the one for a covered stairway, and
in the light of later events this
smacks of discrimination.
But why favor these few at the
expense of the mauy? Do not all
loyal citizens accept with pride the
many favorable comments of visit
ing strangers on the beauty of our
citv? And what adds more to the
beauty than the regularity of the
lines of it's streets? 1t is to be re-
GREETED that this regularity has
suffered severely of late, chiefly
thru the liberality of the officials.
Why should public spirited citl-
zens put their hands down in their
leans and spend their hard earned
dollars to assist the Outdoor Art
Association in its commendable
efforts to beautify the city only to
have the officials allow its beauty
to be marred by such hideous, un-
slightly and abominable looking en-
croachments as chimneys, bay win
! dows, &C.? In surrendering the
city rights in such matters are the
officials handling the trust reposed
in them as they would handle their
own interests? Would an alder
man allow his neighbor to appro-
pirate 20 in. of his lot for Chin
ney? Certainly not! Then why
so liberal with the public's in
terests?
Much can be said against this
pernicious practice, but want of
space forbids. Such grants are
illegal and highly injudicious to
say the least. If this liberality is
persisted in where will all this end
Who can say what will be the linn
its of the demands, for the petitions
will evolve into demands.
Certainly the public has a right
to expect the officials to abide by
the ordinances.

Whip CurfeW

Wesson, Miss. = The town marshal
here Thursday night put into effect a
rule that all women caught loafing on
the street after o'clock would be whip
ped.
Three were caught, and when unable
to give good account of themselves,
were given severe lashing.
Here is suggestion for Watertown.
Perhaps it would be better if the parents
of the young girls who promenade the
streets until later than nine by good
deal used the whip at home, but if they
will not, it is suggestion worthy of
consideration.

Moving An Old Landmark

Another old landmark is being remov-
ed. Reference Is made to the old Miller
house at the northwest corner of Main
and Fourth streets, which has been sold
to HI. Davis, who will have it removed
onto a lot on North Second street. In
the long ago, the old house was regarded
as one of the palatial homes in the city,
but times have changed and now moth
ing but palace attracts any attention
and there is no more happiness than in
the good old days of simplicity and good
fellowship.

VOLUME XXXXX
Fiftieth Anniversary

September the twenty-secOnd OF this
year marks the fftieth anniversary of
the laying of the corner stone OF st.
Paul's Episcopal church. Special ser
vices will be held on Sunday next. The
Right Reverend w. w. Webb, ID. D.,
bishop of the diocese of Milwaukee, will
be present and preach the sermon at the
morning service. The Rev. II. B. ST.
George, B. D., of NashOtah Theological
Seminary will be the preacher at the
evening service.
AS nearly as can be ascertained the
work Of the Episcopal church was begun
in WatertOwn as a mission during the
year 1845. The late Reverend Melanct0n
HOyt held services here and i'll the neigh
boring towns during that year. The
work at Watertown grew rapidly and III
the year 1847 st. Paurs parish was or
ganized The first ST. PauIs church was
frame building and stood on the west
side Of south third street, in block 200.
During the early part Of the year 1859
steps were taken towards the erection OF
larger and more durable church. The
necessary funds were raised and the
present church property On south Second
street purchased. Work on the new
building was begun at once and the cor
ner stone was laid on September 22, 1853.
1t is to commemorate this event that the
present jubilee is held.
Those early builders built well and
beautifully. In point of sOlidity the
church is as firm and perfect as if it had
left the hands of the builders but yester-
day-nOt the slightest flaw nor indica-
tiOn of weakness can be found in the
building anywhere. The church is a
perfect type of gothic architecture. The
lines are well laid and beautiful.
During the past year many improve
ments have been added. A complete set
of heavy oaken doors have been put In
place. The design of the doors and dis
play hinges is in strict harmony with,
and adds very materially to the beauty
of the building. New vestibule doors
have also been added. A new pulpit,
built of solid black walnut and gothic III
design, has baen placed as memorial to
the late Mrs Mary A. Slight. Through
the Iiberality of church members and
friends of the parish complete set OF
memorial windows has been donated and
are now in position These windows
were designed by the artist Mr.. Carl
Reiman. Mr.. Reiman has made a study
of the windows in European cathedrals,
especially those of England. In the
present work he has followed cid Eng !
lish masters. The result is very beauti- |
ful. Each window is gem it its proper |
setting.
The program for the services on Sun
day next is as follows:
