HERE'S TO you.

Next Saturday being the beginning
OF the new year, the PILOT hereby
tenders to all its readers, and our
citizens in generel, New Years wish
that the 1910 youngster may prove a
happy and prosperous one for all;
that we may live in peace, not tell
unfounded tales on one anothe steal
our neighbor's wood, or fight Ger the
question of paving ThiId street; that
the city may materially add TO its
population, and that we can annex
Schofield: that WauSau may continue
TO grow industrially and that pros
perity may be spelled within the
Jorders of our city and county with a
capital p: that the Sixth waro engine
house site may be finally settled, and
the people of the "North end' may
eventually get that bridge which they
want: that the 1910 spring styles In
millinery may not be so high (perpen-
dicularly. not price nor so loud, and
that we may havo the coin to pay
for the Partisan ideas; that if "Jack,
the PEPPER ever shows up in our
city again he may be caught and
sentenced to spend the rest of his days
in Junction City; that the city of
Ashland may keep its dirty divorce
cases at home; that the smell and
taste of our city water may take
wings and fly to some distant land,
and remain there forever ever more:
that our base ball team may be a
pennant winner, our foot ball team a
squelcher, our basket ball team nom
defeatable; that everyone may keep
out of Jail, have money to throw at
the dogs and never be forced to bor-
row a lawn mower; that no man may
talk back to his wife, or call his
mother-in-law a yinegar-faced old
weaZen hen when she is not looking;
that everyone y read his own Pilot
and not borrow iC of a neighbor. All
these, and many more things, we
wish.

CAMERA IN A BABY CARRIAGE
Ingenious Way in Which Profession
al Woman photographer Carries
Her Big Outfit.

Necessity as the mother of inven-
tion brought forth an interesting off
spring which l saw few days ago."
said the professional commercial pho
tographer. "One member of my corps
of assistants is a woman, and she does
excellent work. None of my men can
do better. 1t is hard for her, however,
to carry the large cameras, glass
plates and other supplies she Aeeds,
but she never complains, and | have
often wondered how she could meet
the situation as well as she does. Re-
Gently | learned. | met her accident
ally when she was out on hard trip,
and she had all her supplies in a ba-
by carriage, which she was trundling
lightly before her, in the most ma
ternal way. She laughed when /
caught her, and admitted that man
probably would not have thought of
such method, or, If he had thought
of it, he would have been shame-faced
about using it. She said it was much
easier than packing her supplies. The
baby carriage was of the cheap, fold
ing variety, extremely light and COM
pact, but it held complete outfit.
"Of course, I always include my
carrying case and strong leather
strap she told me, so that If l find
place where | cannot trundle the
carriage l can strap the whole outfit,
including the folded wagon, and pack
it, On the street cars l have to do
that. but you see can fold the cart
instantly, with the outfit inside, snap
on the strap and board the car. Yes,
l think it is a good invention, and 1t
looks so feminine

of Prof. Vetter as a leader and the
PILOT congratulateS this band on
having secured him. The band has
expended 81, 200 since organizing and
Vetter's salary, the amount will reach

Foul MURDER.-It is an old saving
that murder will out" and we be-
lieve it. 1t will be reD2Gabered that
on Oct. last the PILOT gave an account
of the disappearance of r. G. Blan-
chard of Stevens Point. A few LAYS
since his body was found at the foot
of Conant's rapids. A severe wound
had been inflicted on his head, his
pockets, which had been rifled, filled
with stones, and a rope was found
around the body, the elbows thrown
back and pole passed through, ap-
the body from the place where the
murder was committed to the river.
1t is evident that the body was
thrown into the river above the rapids.
The driver, Wendover by name, and
fellow by the name of Sharp, were on
the drivers seat. Both have been
arrested. Wendover worked for two
years at Little Rib for b. Single: he
attended church regularly here in
this village and was considered an ex-
emplary young man. Mr. Blanchard
was an esteemed citizen of Stevens
Point and there is great indignation
there, and if it can be proven that
they have the murderers, fears are
entertained that Judge Lynch,
would call court to order, pass SEN
tence and speedily carry it into execu-
tion. (The perpetrators of this foul
murder were never found out. Wend-
over was able to prove an alibi also
Sharp.-Ed.)

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

uSThe following items were mailed to
us last Tuesday morning, but owing
to some uneXplainable delay in the
desk until Wednesday morning, too
late for publication:
Preparations for a Christmas enter
tainment were begun about two
weeks ago, but circumstances seemed
to call for postponement, and it will
not be given before the latter part of
January
At the last meeting of the alumni
association it was voted to have an
entertainment and banquet at the
Christmas holidays, but the necessity
of holding it on Christmas eve or
Christmas day made it impracticable
to have 1t.
The question of the adoption of the
parcels post, as advocated by Post
Master General Meyer, was decided
two to one in favor of the affirmative,
the Judges, as usual, being a visitor,
a teacher, and a student. Today the
school had a practical illustration of
the desirability of the parcels post.
The express charges on glass cell for
battery Axis inches and weighing
by itself less than pound and half
was fifty-five cents. On four books
about the size of a fifth reader re-
ceived last spring the charges were
sixty cents.
John Wannamaker, postmaster gen
eral under President Harrison, said
there were just four arguments against
a parcels post: the United States Ex
press company, the American Express
company, the Adams Express Co. and
the Wells Fargo Express Co. Those
were mighty arguments and they
still prevail. Even President Taft
does not second the recommendation
OF his postmaster general.
Material for the debate was obtained
from the extension department of
the University of Wisconsin. The
only expense was postage for cores
pondence and return of documents.
Two of the alumni, Irwin Marchetti
and Zara Schooley, have challenged
any two members of the school to de-
bate at any time any question they
may choose.
The school closed Thursday until
the Monday following New Years.

MY SYMPHONY.

To begin the new year right;
to live in concord with the mass
of Wausau citizens, not at var

spect, not to be met with eyas-

Of all good people, to extend my
acquaintanceship; to practice
charity, not merely to preach it;
to talk Wausau to strangers, to

all III my power for the good of
the city and the advancement
of its interests.
This is to be my symphony.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM CARRIED OUT Al
THE wAUsAU BUSINESS COLLEGE.

-
The closing exercises given by the
Business College students on Thurs
day afternoon, were full of interest
and highly appreciated by all present.
@. A. Cowee called the school to
order at two o'clock in the main room
where the teachers expressed to the
students their appreciation of their
efforts and best wishes for their pleas

Then the. school passed up to the

pared by the College union was rem

in the quality of music rendered and
in the pleasant way it responded to en-

AS stated in last Tuesdays PILOT,
about all of the religious societies in
Wausau had arranged to hold Christ
mas services on Christmas eve., and
this was done and the programs were
very interesting, and with their
various trees and the giving of
presents, it was indeed happy time
for the children of our CITY,.
Several inches of snow fell on Friday
night and this made the sleighing
very good on Christmas day and many
rigs were out and the sleigh bells
were jingling all the day long making
the day seem all the more real If such
thing were possible. In fact, Wausau
never had more joyous Christmas in
its history.
Through the generosity of num-
Der of citizens, the poor Of our city
were supplied with Christmas dinners.
The work of making up a list. of
worthy families, packing baskets, ETC.,
was supervised By Neil Campbell and
DIR. B. III. Conlin.
No delivery of mail was made but
the carriers windows were open for
the benefit of the public. The post
office on Saturday and Sunday was
thronged with a multitude of people,
expecting belated presents. A large
portion of the mail handed out was
postal cards with holiday greetings.
Scarcity of snow allowed the young
the privilege of enjoyment on the ice
and skating was one of the amuse-
ments of the day. The roller riDas,
too, were thronged all day.
There was no merry Christmas"
in some Wausau homes, for Death
entered them with his blighting
touch.
The usual misfit in presents was
everywhere apparent and some cases
are laughable.
The water wagon starts on its an
nual pilgrimage TO Goodresolution-
vile next Saturday. Are you going
to ride with the driver?
Services in the Lutheran and Catho-
lie churches brought in many people
from the country.
The banks disposed of many new
gold coins, which were presented by
people to their friends, as Christmas
mementoes.
Freight traffic on both railroads,
while cut down to some extent for
the day, was not entirely suspended.
There is SO much wood products to
be moved now that the railroads
must work their Crew holidays and
Sundays included.
