Boy nodded.
"You did?" Teacher gasped, and
Daddy's face grew stern. Didn't he
do anything to you?"
Another nod.
Call you names?"
A nod.
Anything else?"
"Jerked Mol away from me and was
going to kick her."
Miss Haines looked puzzled. Daddy
interposed. why did you bring your
doll to school, Lawrence?"
Miss Haines said we might, cause
it's Friday afternoon"
Bit by bit the story was elected, and
presently Boy, his head on Faith
Haines' shoulder, was sobbing out the
incoherent details. Daddy caught the
words "lonesome-Muvver sick, Daddy
didn't care, Moll-lonesome, too"
and when Boy regained sufficient self
control. to lift his head and turn
shamed little face to his fathers with
a 'Scuse me, please, Daddy. l didn't
mean to-" the slender throat was still
clutching. I'll" Neville's own eyes
were misty and his voice not entirely
steady.
Somehow the lad found himself close
to his fathers side, mopping his face
with the paternal handkerchief. Ne
vile rose. ''Ill take Lawrence home
with me, Miss Haines, unless you think
it will be quite subversive of discipline.
He's hardly in condition for school,
his lips twitched as he scrutinized
bumps" on the small face "and be-
sides, want to make few facts clear
to him. It's been an anxious time at
home, but that's no excuse for me-"
Boy tucked the doll under his arm
and snuggled his sound hand into his
fathers. 81 s'pose maybe Moll's tired
and we'd better take her home first"
he suggested in response to Daddy's
proposal of a trip to the Zoo.
That was an afternoon to remember.
They walked past the schoolhouse
and through!the park beyond and stop
ped to watch the swans on the pond.
During the hour at the Office that
Daddy craved as a favor, Boy curled
up in a big leather chair supremely
content. Then came hours at the Zoo,
when just he and Daddy were alone in
a charmed world, where Daddy retold
| his favorite Just So" stories as they
wandered from place to place. And
without anything being said about It,,
Boy came to know that he had his
own place in Daddys heart that not
all the baby sisters in the world could
oust him from, and that Muvver-lover
loved him just as dearly as ever.
That evening, when he was all ready
for bed and feeling a little homesick
as he knelt to say his prayers be-
cause Muvver-lover was not there to
hear him, Daddy came to say that he
might see her for a little while If he
would be very still indeed.
Baby sister slumbered peacefully
while he stroked her cheek and kissed
the tiny fingers that clung to his Moth
er had been told part of the story.
The fight had shocked her at first, but
she had not been the one sister in a
band of sturdy brothers for nothing.
Boy climbed up and nestled into his
old place beside her. He smiled con-
tentedly as her fingers caressed his
bruises, while she whispered Hes
mothers comfort, her dear baby boy. y
AS he was slipping into dreamland,
Daddy lifted him and carried him back
to his bed at the other end of the
hall. He cuddled closer and flung one
arm about Daddy's neck as the man
murmured: Hes Daddy's brave little
man. From the Ladies World.

they will send track team. If the
same proportion continues, there will
be nearly forty track teams present,
but this would be exceeding the record

However there will be goodly number
and fully as many to compete for the

application for permission to come.
At the meeting Of the Fire Depart
ment tonight it was voted to offer $225

Tournament.
The proposition for the Department
to stand half the expense of putting in
four arches of electric lights at $50
each was turned down.

Rusk County Rural incorporated

The first stockholders meeting of
the Rusk County Rural Telephone Co.
was held at the court house Saturday.
There are now nearly one hundred
stockholders, of whom goodly num-
Der were present. The minutes of the
preceding meetings for organization
and the acts of the provisional officers
were ratified. Articles of incorpora-
tion and bylaws were adopted.
Five directors were elected as fol-
lows: G. B. Goocher and Alden j..
Laidlaw of Ladysmith, E. c. Camp
bell and S. M. Alvey of Bruce, and
Ben Faast of Conrath.
E. J. Bates of Chippewa Falls,
manager of the Chippewa County
Telephone Co., was present at the
meeting and offered some valuable
suggestions. His company expects to
connect with the Rusk County Rural
oast of Flambeau. Connection will
also be made at Murry with the Rice
Lake and Northwestern.
At the directors meeting following.
Mr.. Goocher was elected president,
Mr.. Alvey vice-president and Mr.. Laid
law secretary and treasurer.
The material is on the ground for
building forty miles of line south and
southeast of Ladysmith, to the "Pea
Farm" and Conrath, and to Bruce, via
Port Arthur. The contract for this
work has been let and work was be-
gun Monday.
The construction of an exchange
in Ladysmith will be begun as soon as
the canvass for phones desired has
been completed and the necessary
stock subscribed.

RAILROAD MUST PAY DAMAGES
Jury Finds for Plaintiff in Case
Against Soo-Cenfral Lines

A case of particular interest to ship
pers whose goods in transit must pass
over more than one line Of railroad was
on trial in circuit court the first three
days of the regular term now in ses-
sion at Phillips. This is the case of M.
j. Vinnedge, of Ogema, against the
500 and Wisconsin Central lines.
In the fall of 1904 the plaintiff ship
ped car of apples and other fruit
from Rutland, Indiana, consigned to
self at Ladysmith. BY reason of the
improper or careless handling of the
car the contents were so injured while
in transit that they were refused by the
consignee upon the arrival of the car
at Ladysmith, and suit was later COM
menced to recover the value of the
consignment. The apples and other
fruit included in the shipment were
sold by the 500 line for 5000 and the
money applied to payment of the
freight and other charges.
The defendant railway companies
admit the damage claimed but insist
that such damage occurred prior to
their acceptance of the commodity for
transportation, contention which, if
upheld by the supreme court, would
most effectually forestall any action
for damages that may hereafter arise
where goods must be transported over
more than one road.
For the railway companies there was
cloud of witnesses comprising large
number of employees from station
agents to section men, and the claim
was made that there were others "in
Texas" whose presence could not be
secured because they could not find
them"
Another peculiar phase of the case
was the fact that the bill of lading
showed the shipment of certain num-
Der of pounds at stated rate of 81
cents per hundred pounds, making an
agreed freight charge of about SLOT,
but when the fruit was sold for 5000
these charges had grown to the sum
of $197. As, some 500 being charged for
"cooperage" and transfer.
The jury returned verdict Thursday
morning in favor of the plaintiff of
S746. 76 damages, the amount that was
asked for in the complaint. An appeal
will doubtless be taken by the railway
company to the supreme court and an
other five years be occupied before Mr..
Vinnedge gets final settlement. =

Probably the departure from Lady

so generally regretted as that of Mrs.
W. T. Rooney, who left Tuesday morn
ing for her new home at LosAngeles,
California. Mrs. Rooney was one of
those unselfish individuals who was al
ways ready to give helping hand to
anyone in distress and her friends
were not among any one class of So
ciety; she took an active part in society
and church work, where she will be
greatly missed. She was accompanied
west by her daughter Miss Rose. Mr..
Rooney preceded them several months
ago, in the hope that a change of eli
mate would be beneficial to his health.
