miIknaD. He went up the street,
stopping in front of every house as If
to leave the milk. By and by he came
to the corner and then turned to go
back.
But something was the matter with
the wagon. Howard looked and saw
that a wheel had come Off He was
in great trouble. He felt as if he
should cry.
perhaps papa can mend it, thought
Howard: but he will not be home ur-
til tonight Papa is SO busy, too, that
he may not get time to mend it for
several days
Poor Howard was very unhappy.
Just then a kind man spoke to him.
Let me take the wheel, little boy.
He took down a box which he was car
rying on his shoulder, and took out
some carpenters tools. Howard hand
ed him the wheel, and in a very short
time the wheel was on again and the
little wagon was as good as ever.
There" said the carpenter, that
is strong now. | do not think it will
come off again.
"Oh, thank you. Thank you. said
Howard; Il am so glad it is mended.
Now will carry your box of tools for
you. This is the Star Express.
The carpenter put his box OF tools
in the wagon and away went the Star
Express rafting down the street.
After this, Howard used to watch for
the carpenter, and whenever he had
his box of tools or a package of nails
to carry, Howard always put it into
his express wagon and took it as far
as he could-Home Herald.

Runaways from Russia.

Every now and again the Russian
is stirred up by the arrival of prison
breakers from Russia. They are not
criminals. but men and women who
have been sentenced for political rea-
sons.
The accounts of their escapes very
often hardly seem credible. For in

there is one Of the strongest in the
world. Its head received a telephone
message from the military governor
that ten of the prisoners we're to be
transferred to the citadel, for which
purpose he was sending an officer with
sufficient guard.
In due course, an officer, accompa-
MED by six policemen, produced an
official looking document authorizing
the transfer Of the ten men, who
were fully described. The prisoners
were driven away in prison van, and
never seen again. The van and uni
forms were found later on the out
skirts of the city.
The Akatui prison, eastern Siberia,
provided London with another run

himself in a picked cabbage barrel.

friends with a sleigh, and safely
reached a refuge, where he planned

A Bow With a Little Red Wagon.

One morning little Howard awoke
and found a bright red wagon with
four wheels at his bedside. 1t had a
long handle to pull it by and was de-
lightful plaything. Howard could
scarcely wait for the time to come
when he could play with it. After
breakfast he hurried out as soon as
he could. At first it was fun enough
Just to run up and down on the broad
sidewalk and hear the wheels rattle
on the bricks.
By and by, his Aunt Kate came
down the street, and Howard ran
ioyfully to meet her and to show her
his new wagon.
Aunt Kate admired everything,
about it very much.
Howard called his wagon the Star
Express so Aunt Kate put book in
the wagon and let Howard take it to

The New Years Gift.

The little boy and the little girl had
many friends among the animals.
There was the rabbit, the turtle, and
the owl and the proud bluejay and
pretty, CHEEKY robin. The old gray
goose and the speckled guinea hen
and the quacking duck and the strut
ting rooster and the clucking hens
were their friends, too. So were the
pigeons and the old black crow, and
the little, frisky, scampering squirrel.
These friends all knew that early
New Years morning the little girl and
the little boy would go to the ever
green playhouse for the gift the New
Year brought. Nobody had ever told
the little girl and the little boy that
the New Year would bring them gift,
but all children know a great many
things that nobody tells them.
The evergreen playhouse was a
beautiful circle of evergreen trees,
with an opening on one side for. 4
door, This playhouse had only the
sky for roof SO it was very gay and
cheerful. A table for play stood in
the center OF. the house.
All these bird and animal friends of
the little girl and boy thought it would
be nice to bring New York's gifts
and lay them on the table in the ever
green playhouse-fne, good, New
Years gifts.
So early New Years morning the
little boy and girl went hand in hand
to the little evergreen house and
stood quietly inside the door.
Then they looked at the table and
there they saw all the beautiful New
Years gifts.

the little girl, as she saw the pres

"Oh, goody, look at the nuts!"
laughed the little boy, as he saw the
nuts the squirrel had brought; won't
they taste fine."
There's my littlest doll-the one
lost" shouted the little girl. The
sharpeyed crow had brought it back
from his hiding place.
And there's my lucky penny"
shouted the little boy. For that ras-
cal Of crow had brought that back,
too.
So they laughed over their pres.
ents until all their animal friends crept
in to see.
"Come!" cried the little boy. We'll
all have dance around the tablet"
So around they went; the birds and
chickens, the squirrel and the crow,
and all the friends, squeaking and
quacking and Growing and chirping
and cawing. while the little girl and
boy sang Ia, la, Ia" to no tune at all,
just because they were so happy.

Railroad Game.

The Railroad Game is a good one for
the little people. To play it each child
is given the name of some part OF the
railroad or some railroad employe or
traveller. Thus one child becomes
the rails, another the car, another the
conductor, another the baggage, one
the locomotive, etc. Someone, usually
an elder person. then tells an improm-
tn story, bringing in all these things
and characters. AS each player hears
his fictitious name mentioned he must
rise and initiate the thing or charac-
ter he is named for. Thus, the Rail
stretches out his arms as far as pos
sible in front Of him, the Locomotive
puffs, the Conductor pulls the bell
rope and cries ''All Aboard" Towards
the end Of the story there is report
of a terrible collision. When this is
heard all the players boo" loudly
to initiate the noise and rush together
in great confusion.-New York Press.

John Bissell was united in marriage
to Miss Hazel Hallet. The ceremony
took place at the home of the brides
parents and was very quiet family

tracing parties being present. Mr..

after the ceremony on trip East.
They will return about October LIST
and be at home to their friends at
Arbor Vitae, after that date.
The groom is the second son of w.
H. Bissell, of this city. His home
has been in Wausau for a good many
years and he is widely known and

honor of his acquaintance. He at
tended our public schools and was
graduated from ST. Johns Military
academy, at Delevan. He holds a
responsible position with the Yawkey-
Bissell Lumber Co., at Arbor Vitae,

BACK FROM THE WEST.

Mrs. Agnes B. Murray and daughter,
Miss Margaret, returned home from
their trip West on Thursday night,
having had a most delightful time.
DR.. Anne Burnett of Mt. Pleasant, Ia,
Mrs. Murray's sister, accompanied
them, but as she extended her trip
up into Alaska, she will not return
until November. They went out by
way of the Great Northern and re-
turned over the Canadian Pacific.
They found the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific
exposition fully equal to expectations
and were greatly surprised at the
showing made by Alaska, especially
in its exhibitions of fruits, vegetables
and grains. They visited important
points along the route of their trip
going and coming. The greatest in
convenience which they encountered
was the inability of the roads to
take care of the many who were trav-
cling to and from the exposition.
The Canadian Pacific had every car it
possessed in use and still each train
was crowded to the train doors with
every seat taken and aisles damned
with people standing up. This condi-
tion existed on all roads. At Seattle
they met the Albers family and other
Wausau people and at Lake Louise,
Alberta, met Rev. and Mrs. B. B.
Gibbs, formerly of this city.

90 YEARS YOUNG.

The Oshkosh Northwestern of the
issue of Saturday last contains long
article with reference to VIM. Bar
den, pioneer of that city, and father
of Frank Barden of Wausau. The
elder Barden celebrated his ninety
third birthday on Friday. He is quite
well known here, and visits his son
nearly every year. Although he has
passed the allotted age of man, he is
very well preserved, and as he ex-
presses it, is "ninety-three years
young" He is a great reader, and
although he lost the sight of one eye
some years ago, he does not use eye
glasses. He has never known any i'll
ness to speak of. He is a veteran of
the civil war and lost two sons in that
struggle. He was born in Vermont
'of poor but honest parents" He
says: cat that time everyone was
honest, because there was no object
to be otherwise" He cast his first
vote for Henry Clay and later took an
active part in the underground rail
road" When asked for an explana-
ton of how he has lived so long and
been healthy all the time, he answers,
Because I've been allowed to live"
