BUSINESS MEMS EXCURSION
Nearly One Hundred Citizens a Outing
the Interests the and the City.
Extend Greetings Receive a the
Route.
A DAY OF PLEASURE AND PROFIT.

Darlington, and was followed in brief
address by Secretary Priestley. Oar
lngton's Mayor being absent, J. G.
Monahan was called for, and he made a
happy address. By request, Frank Fal-
lon responded, and responded right.
He spoke particularly of the good feel
ing of each town for the other. Oar
lingtOn and Mineral Point, he said,
would always be friends, as they should
be.
Shortly after the departure of the
regular evening passenger train for
Mineral Point the excursion train fol-
lowed and soon the business mems ex-
cursion was at an end. A like excur-
sion had never before been planned and
successfully carried out by any city the
size of Mineral POint,-as was said
in this state or any other. 1t not only
brought the business men of Mineral
Point face to face with their friends in
the various towns which they visited,
but it brought them in closer contact
with one another. They represented
Mineral Points business life, and out of
the unity of purpose which they mani
tested on the occasion great gain will
come to the city.
A feature of the occasion was the
lunches served ON the train by Frank
Suthers and John Crum. No one was
allowed to go hungry. At Dodgeville
one hundred pasties were procured from
the Methodist Episcopal ladies of that
place, and made an excellent warm
dinner for the excuTsiOnists.
The management declare that there
will be like excursion next year when
their visit will be to their neighbors
to the south and east.
The following were members of the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1909-08-12

At every stopping place a goodly
number of people were present to greet
and welcome the visitors, and during
the journey, brief impromptu addresses
were made by the following citizens of
Mineral Point, and in the order named !:
T. M. Priestley, George Crawford, W.
J. Penhallegon, Phil Allen, Jr., Joseph
J. Fielder, S. E. Shepard, F. H. Fallon,
John Knight, and Calvert Spensley.
The day was hot and dry; but, en-
livened by the music of the Band, the
march to and from the various stations
was borne without great fatigue.
The Apollo Quartet, consisting of
Messrs. Vickerman, Maust, Coady and
Stair, sang songs that delighted all
listeners, and both Band and Quartet
received many words of praise through
out the day.
At Ridgeway a pleasant surprise
awaited the visitors The good people
of the town had, in shady nook ar
ranged tables and chairs, that all might
partake of the ice cream and cake so
generously provided, and residents of
the village and outside of the village,
women and men, Wed with each other
in extending a cordial welcome to the
men from Mineral Point.
At every town visited the excursion
lists were made to feel that they were
welcome. No envy or jealousy was
shown, and the thought appeared to be
that the prosperity of one town or section
of southwestern Wisconsin, means the
prosperity of all sections.
Darlington outdid itself in welcoming
the people from its neighbOr city. The
town was in holiday attire, with canons
booming and banners flying as the
excursionists approached. On their ar
rival the visitors were at once given the
freedom of the city. A band wagon
was provided which served for the band,
speakers and singers. After music by
the band and quartet, P. Allen, Jr.
extended greetings to the people of

Our business mems excursion ON
Thursday, Aug. 5, was a great success.

cursionists left Mineral Point in three
coaches appropriately decorated for the
occasion. Besides local representatives
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and the Mineral Point & Northern rail
ways, the following railway officials

What VIII Your Harvest Be?

Milwaukee Journal: You cannot
SOW wild oats and expect harvest
of good wheat. You cannot trifie with
folly or yield to self indulgence without
paying the penalty. Intemperance in
eating or drinking ruins digestion and
brings poor health. The child learns
by burned finger to avoid the fame.
The older child often thinks himself
smart enough to avoid the results of
his acts. He never can do so. The
consequence is sure soon or late.
The kind word spoken the kind act
done, brings it's result as the wrong
thing said or done. The consequence
of a good deed done is further reaching
than one may suppose at first thought.
A conscientious teacher was once in
despair over a refractory boy. No rep
rimand or punishment appeared to have
any effect on him. One day the teacher
took the boy alone and talked to him
seriously, yet kindly; put before him
the consequences of a continued disre
gard Of right and of the better life, and
showed him what a man he could make
of himself if he chose. He could not
tell from the boys manner whether he
had made any impression or not. The
next day the boy was truant. The
teacher said nothing to him on his re-
turn to school He was good and mis-
chievOus by turns during the remainder
of the term.
For many years after that the teacher
lost knowledge of the boy. One day a
man walked into the teachers office and
made himself known. 1t was the ''bad
boy of long ago. The talk of the
teacher had taken root and brought
forth a good harvest. The boys heart
had been touched and the day when he
had been truant had been spent in the
woods alone, weeping tears that no
punishment had ever brought. He re-
solved to make the man that he could
be. And his resolves were well carried
out. He went to a new town, was in
dustrious and steady, and came to be
one of the leading citizens of the place.
He had married good women and was
bringing up family of good children.
And the end is not there. 1t goes on to
his children's children and on to gener-
ations uncounted. His good character
has its influence on his neighbors and
community where he lives, This is one
result from a single kindly, thoughtful
act of a teacher.
1t behooves every one to think of
what they are doing or saying. LAS
you SOW, so shall you reap" What do
you wish your harvest to be?

THE IMPOSSIBLE.
IL Lies Just Beyond the Limit of Our
Own UNDERSTANDING.

u Lies Just Beyond the Limit OF our
Own Understanding.
Here is striking parable by Miss
E. Fox Howard, which we take from
the Friends Fellowship Papers"
"a dog tried to open a door. He
scratched it. threw himself against it,
struggled to get his nose under it and
burrow his way out, but at last he
decided that the door would not open
and never could open, so he lay down
before it and went to sleep.
"a child was watching the dog. and
he laughed and turned the handle with
his small fingers, and the door was
open. Then he took a book, and, sit
ting on the floor, be turned over the
leaves one by one and gazed at the
queer black marks upon them without
knowing what they meant, for he was
q very little child and he could not
read. AS there were no pictures to be
found he tossed it away.
But a boy picked up the book and
laughed and read page after page of
wonderful fairy tale. Then he went
sum which had to be brought to the
class that morning. Try as he might
the sum would not prove, and the boy
said: L can't do it. I'm sure it can't
be done. There must be a mistake in
the book
But the pupils teacher laughed,
and, taking the blotted exercise book
hn no Nv
and proved the sum. Then he turned
to his own studies and went into the
laboratory, for he was learning chem
istry. All the morning he labored
among the gases and the acids, but he
could not get the right combinations
and only succeeded i'll making a loud
explosion. It's all rubbish to say that
potash and carbon form potassium? he
said. They simply explode, and l de-
fy any one to say they don't!
But the master, who had heard the
noise, came and took it into his own
hands, and soon the metal was drop
ping from the condenser. After school
was over the master, who was getting
an old man, sat in his study reading
a paper on modern scientific thought.
AS he read his brow darllened, and at
last he flung it down and said: 1T is
mOnstrous idea. How can the crea-
ton of the world have taken millions
Of years? The good old Bible account
Of the six days of creation is good
enough for me- And he wrote an
angry letter of remonstrance to the
great professor who had sent him the
paper.
But the professor only smiled, for
he was a geologist and had read the
message of the rocks. He himself,
one of the deepest thinkers of the day,
sat late into the night among his
books, trying to fit some newly dtscOV-
cred laws of physics into his schemes
of things and to bring his mind nearer
to a solution Of the great why of the
universe. At last he bowed his head
and said: 1T is impossible. Facts are
too conflicting. I cannot explain them,
and I doubt if there is any eXplana-
ton

understanding lies the impossible"

BAD EXAMPLE SET

legged propensity Of Mrs. Alice Roose-

Mark Keppel, superintendent of schools

or any other narcotic.
