A BIT % NOTHIN'

A dog sat out in the midnight
chill and howled at the beaming
moon; his knowledge of music
was strictly nil; and his voice
was out of tune. And he howl
ed and howled as the hours went
by. while lodging the bricks we
threw, till tie moon was low in
the western sky, and his voice
was split in two. And there
wasn't a thing at which to howl,
over which a fool pnp should
weep, and the course of the dog
was wrong and foul, and people
were wild to sleep. There are
plenty of men like that foolish
hound, who yell when there's
nothing wrong, disturbing the
country with senseless sound
the pessilnist's doleful song.

The way it looks now, the

be sliced up and attached to

few who desire to escape from
what they deem unjust taxation.

ship 4O-6 from town of Arbor
Vitae, Villas county, and attach
it to town of Woodruff, Oneida

PHONE SWITCHBOARD
Madison Exchange Recently
Installed Elaborate Switch
board--Fine Service Prom
ised.

The Madison exchange of tn
Wisconsin Telephone Company
recently installed a new telephon
switchboard which was manufac
tured by the Western Electri'
q Company.
After describing the install
lation, the Democrat of that cit,
has the following interesting
eulogy on telephone service IL
general.
ut is maintained that Il e
commercial growth of any
community, irrespective of
size, is hampered to degree
that cannot be over-estimated
if telephone service is not at
hand. This is a fact that is
beng demonstrated and en-
phasized every day. 1t is es-
sential to all, not only to the
millionaire of many bust
ness interests, but to the farm
er as we'll. The latteris learn
ing that it is not an expense
to have a telephone, believed.
but saving perhaps of a life
in illness, perhaps OF help
in danger when flood or fire
comes, or something else.
ITO the town and small
city the telephone has become
almost as necessary to their
welfare as their lighting sup
ply or water supply. To
many the former is as i'm
portant as the other two. No
city or town can prosper
and grow without all three.
To-day, even in cities of
5000 and 5000 inhabitants,
the candy store. plumbers
shop, restaurant and even
tobacco store without a tel
ephone is not considered up
to-date. Of course, all estab-
Iishments that make any pre-
tentions toward monopoliz-
ing its particular line of bus
mess in any city or town has
a number of'phones sufficient
to meet requirements.

BALL TEAM ORGANIZED
High School Organi cation
Perfected Last Week--Fans
Will Have Plenty Of Ball
This Year.

The members of the high school,
base ball team organized their
1909 team Friday evening. W.
A. Bradford was elected manager
and Jos. Frankel. captain.
Manager Bradford, who is a
fan of the old school, is now Sc
curing dates for the team with
Rhinelander, Amigo and Merrill
high schools, and will also play
the regular team on off dates.
The regular team is now cinch-
ing dates with outside teams
and they want an associa-
ton formulated for the protection
of the teams best interests. It
would not come amiss to render
the regular team the assistance
they ask. The boys want an as
ISOLATION formed and a manager
chosen outside of the team. They
have $8O.75 in>the treasury and
are anxious to give us snappv
ball next season, but want to be
under outside management.
Let us give both the teams
good substantial support this
season. A town without a ball
team is dead one.

BITTER Poem
S7IRS ENGLAND

According to Miss Violet Asquith,
daughter of the British Premiev. the
now famous poem. entitled THE Wo-
man With the Serpent's Tongue" is
a piece of spite work on the part of
poet Watson.
She declared he had made her faith
cr's life miserable with his persistent
demands. and had failed. The poet,
according to Miss Asquith, asked for
large literary pension. and expected
that the announcement of his knight
hood would be made on the Kings
birthday year ago.
When It did not come out he became
peevish and blamed her mother and
herself for not approaching his great.

quested that Miss Asquith make full

versy, but she firmly declined.

which has caused sensation In
England. being interpreted as being
directed at Mrs. Asquith, wife of
the Prime Minister. Watson's broth
er says that he has wandered away
In a period of mental alteration.
The character OF an cnvenomed
woman is drawn In unsparing fash
ion, and since II has become known
that Watson's verse was directed at
Mrs. Asquith. II has caused a seIsa.
ton in England, which has been
heightened by the disappearance of
the author.
The poem Is as follows:
She is not old. she Is not young,
The Woman with the Serpent's
Tongue.
The haggard cheek, the hungering
eye,
The poisoned words that wildly fly.
The famished face, the fevered
hand
Who sights the worthiest In the
land,
Sncers at the just. condemns the
brave.
And blackens goodness In It's
grave.
In truthful numbers be she sung.
The Woman with the Serpent Il
Tongue;
Concerning whom Fame hints at
things
Told but In shrugs and whisperings;
Ambitious from her natal hour,
And scheming all her life for
power
with little left of seemly pride;
With venomed fangs she can not
hide;
Who half makes love to you today
Tomorrow gives her guest away.
