Leonard Potter, we'll known and
highly respected farmer of the town of
Oakland, died at his home Thursday
evening, Feb 25th, after an illness of
three weeks duration, aged nearly So
years. The immediate cause of his
death was hemorrhage, but he had been
sufferer for a number of years with
chronic ulcer of the stomach.
At the monthly meeting of the city
council last Tuesday evening, the chief
of police was instructed to notify all
owners and lessees of slot machines to
close all machines and that said ma
chimes will be confiscated and DESTROYED
if not moved Immediately upon notifca-
ton. The city attorney was directed
to prosecute all offenders under the city
ordinance relating to gambling The
order also puts ban on raffies of all
descrip tons.
The last consignment of carp and
buffalo fish, made by seins at Lake
Koshkonong during last fall, was ship
ped to the eastern markets last week.
The weight of these consignments,
made by Henry Neidecker, Ray Thomp-
son and Ted Carroll aggregated 440, 900
pounds, divided as follows: Niedecker,
200, 900; Thompson, 100000; Carroll,
100, 900 pounds-M Niedecker catching
all of his fish in four hauls. An idea of
the extent of this industry may be
CLEANED from the fact that it required
more than forty freight cars to hold
the fish.

Ennerson'. Memory.

Emerson was q notable sufferer from
the vagaries of memory. His biogra-
pher relates that he met him one day
In Boston apparently at loss for
something and asked him where he
was going. ITO dine," said Emerson,
with a very old and dear friend. I
know where she lives, but I hope she
won't ask me her name." And then he
proceeded to describe her as "the
mother of the wife of the young man
the tall man-who speaks so WE'LL"
and so on, until his interlocutor guess
ed to whom he was referring. Even
the names Of common objects often
failed him completely. On one occa-
sion when he wanted an umbrella he
said: II can't tell its name, but can
tell its history. Strangers take It
away" This failing of Emerson led to
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfellow's funeral and remarked as
he gazed at the coffin, "He was
sweet and beautiful soul, but I have
entirely forgotten his name"

had my breath taken away one day
by a good looking stranger mailing
from Chicago. He threw a letter of

Of all the loose cash thought we

Nero's Golden House.

The golden house, of Nero seems
from all accounts to have been the
most stupendous dwelling place ever
built for a mortal man. Even If we
regard the ancient descriptions as
somewhat exaggerated 1t remains one
Of the largest royal houses ever built,
and the internal decorations seem to
have been incomparably magnificent.
1t was surrounded by parks, woods
and pools Of great size, which appear
to have been entirely within the walls.
The colonnades of the house itself ex-
tended mile In length and crossed
one Of the main thoroughfares Of the
city. The cities Of the east were ran
sacked for masterpieces of Greek art
for the interior. The walls shone with
gold and pearls, and the roof rested on
marble columns Of enormous size and
beauty.-New York American.
