Pleasant Smile

An unknown genius dedicates a
poem after observing the smiling
countenance of court attache.
Several nights ago in the district
which called for the reading of law
references, briefs and other legal
documents and during which time
Miss Anna McSorley, the court re-
porter, was required to use an almost
lightning-like rapidity in recording
the case. Evidently n of those
present in the court room observed
Miss McSorley in her work and the
next morning when she went to her
desk she found the following little
testimonial:
THE COURT STENOGRAPHER.
dedicated to Miss McSorley.)
l observed a court stenographer,
As | heard a lawyer read,
And as | saw each page fit DER
wondered at her speed.
And when the lawyer ceased to read
She'd look up for awhile,
And eve as she raised those eyes
We'd see that pleasant smile.
Twas nigh unto the midnight hour
And she'd toiled the whole da,
long,
But ever as she raised those eyes
Her face seemed like a song.
And then I thought there is tru
worth;
There is a girl worth while;
A girl who'd worked the whole da
long,
And as she worked she'd smile.
5 1t seems she knows the secret
5 OF how we. through life shoul
file,
Which is. do each task with chez
~fulness;
Meet each one with a smile.
So to this worthy maiden,
g | address these few short lines
e 1t may, somewhat surprise her,
VI But do such things by times.

LAST LECTURE.

Geo. r. Vending of Washington, ID.
c., will appear at the opera house to-
morrow evening. under the auspices oi
the Y M. c. A. and deliver his histori
cal lecture, Robert f. Lee--the Idol oi
the South" This will be the last mum
ber of the course for 1908 % and should
be well attended. Mr. Vending comes
very highly recommended as an orator
In fact it is thought he will prove to be
one of the strongest lecturers who have
appeared here in recent years. Prof.
Swing, well known essayist, once
made the following statement:
/ "At time when many are affirming
that books and morning papers have
been for years destroying oratory, as
though TO mock these generalizers. and
to cheer up the pnblic heart, three great
new orators made sudden appearance
-lngersoll, Cook and Vending. They
are a remarkable group, even aside
from the fact that they have not yet
passed into the magnifyiug at mosphere
of the past. Great and powerful as
Ingersoll and Cook are, it is a great
pleasure TO turn from both aud hear
Vending. | speak only for myself.
Vending adds to great subjects pure
and clear style. His language, his logic,
his Imagination, bis enunciation, his
method, are all of the old Everett and
Charming school,"

SHORTY M'CABE.

Have you made the acquaintance OF
the latest hit in American humor-
Swell Ford's Shorty McCabe" stories.
If not you are missing a heap of fun.
Shorty is character" in every sense
of the word. AS an artist in humorous
slang he can match George AIDES fables,
and as a creator of original and witty
phrases he esl match Mr.. Dooley, but
Shorty can beat all his predecessors in
the art of telling a good story. 1t is a
genuine story every time, too, with a
hilariously funny plot and with charac-
tiers that are alive and kicking, full of
the quirks and absurdities Of universal
human nature.
Shorty McCabe, bis better half, Sadie,
and their laughabIe adventures in New
York society can be found and enjoyed
only in the Sunday Magazine OF The
Chicago Record Herald, whose editor
has the honor of having discovered
Swell Ford's powers as a humorist. This
unique magazine is filled with good
fiction and timely articles every week,
written by many of the most noted
authors of our day. but nothing seems
able to oyersha3ow the perennial inter.
est in the Shorty McCabe stories, which
appear every second week throughout
the year. Wherever you go you viii
hear people talking and laughing ovel
them. Thousands of people taile The
Sunday Record Herald simply for ii:
Sunday Magazine and the inimitable
Shorty McCabe. 1t begins to be cues
ton whether Shorty is not more popu
| lar parsonage than Mr.. Dooley.

nationalities. The government main
tains two distinctive pay rolls. The
Americans are paid in gold, while the
laborers of countries which are on the
silver basis are paid in silver. Board,
clothing and other necessities are high
er there than here, but not so in proper
ton to the salaries paid. The govern
ment furnishes all quarters, fuel, light,
etc. 1t has built good, substantial resi-
dences, hotels, store buildings etc, and
everything is right up to the handle.
Tropical fruits can be purchased for a
song.
The base ball season there and here
is reversed. The game is played on the
isthmus from Thanksgiving time up to
about the 4th of July. After the latter
date it is too hot to play, the tempera-
ture averaging over 90ir the shade.
The canal, when completed, will be a
triumph of American genius, modern
engineering feat and will be of incalcu-
able value to the commercial interests
of this country and of the world. 1t
will be of great service to us in case of
war with foreign power, for our
battleship fleets in both oceans can be
assembled in short time, and at the
same time we can keep the vessels of 9TH
er powers out of it at our will. 1t is the
opinion of men of thought that we
should protect it with forts and heavy
guns, and this probably will eventually
be done. Western shippers are robbed
in tariff rates~by the railroads, but
when the canal is completed the low
vessel rates will lessen the cost of COM
modities.
In conversation with Mr.. Altz o
newspaper writer can get enough
material for columns of wri;e-up, but
we have only mentioned a few of the
main points about the country. MIR.
Altz is withal a very pleasant gentle
man to meet, good conversationalist,
possessed of much interesting informa-
ton. He will remain in the city until
about the middle of this week and will
then go to New YosS and sail for the
isthmus.

ADJUDGED INSANE.

The sheriff OF Lincoln county passed
through the city the middle of last week
having in charge MI. and Mrs. Julius
Kranklis, whose home is near Gleason
They were both adjudged insane on
Wednesday and the sheriff conveyed
them to the Northern Hospital for In
sane, Winnebago. The strange part of
their insanity is that they both became
insane from the same cause-too much
religion. For some time religious
meetings have been conducted in diff
ferent homes in and around Gleason, of
nature, it is said, akin to the actions
of the Holy Jumpers Both we're active
in these meetings and soon they became
unbalanced. They destroyed their
property, gave away their stock and
started out on house to house visit,
proclaiming their religion The sheriff
caught them near Parish.

SATURDAY, JUNE 18th. 1867.
DEATH OF THOMAS HINTON

Thomas Hinton, aged 81 years, died
In this village Tuesday morning, June
nth, 1867, after long and painful i'll
ness. Thomas Hinton came to Wausau
with his family in lS43 He was prom
inent figure in our city for many years. .
The PmoT in looking over the files
for its weekly old time article came
across the above notice of death. MIR.
Hinton was one of the best known men
IN the pinery in the forties and fifties,
and in fact until his death. He was
rough and ready; pronounced infidel
and delighted in letting everybody
know it. He was big hearted, gener-
oas man, nevertheless. The first hotel
in Wausau was the "Blue Eagle" built
by hi Pearson, on Main street, just
north of the Stewart mill Mr.. Hinton
was made its first landlord. He after
wards conducted hotel and sample
rooms on the corner of Main and Forest
streets. Mr.. Hinton had his home
on that block during his life here. A
year or so before his death he exper-
fenced change of life and became an
earnest Christian His conversion has
been told from that time to this, and the
writer has heard it in many different
ways, some very mysterious and others
not so much so. The PILoT has two
narratives of this old settlers conver.
sion and will publish them, one in this
issue, from the pen of Mrs. Geo. w.
Casterline, who was former resident
of Wausau aud a devoted member of
the Nj. f. church at the time. She now
resides in Morgan Hill, California, an
aged woman. In letter from her,
dated March, 1906, she sent the follow
ing article, written by herself, and asked
that the Pn.oT publish the same, saying
that it might be of interest to Wausau
people of today. The other article was
told by an old citizen to the PILoT
editor and it will appear in our next
issue. The following is the article sent
TO sgby Mrs. Casterline:
am impressed | should give what /
sion of noted infidel, Thomas Hinton.
He was pioneer; one of the first set
tiers of Wausau, Wis. Ee was promi
nent man of the county in which he
lived. He had attained to his SD year
at his conversion.
'He had not been inside a church for
q years." he said
So adverse was he to Christianity that
he would not allow a minister to come
and pray and have service at the burial
of grandchild from his home, as is
customary He was indeed bitter
towards Christianity
IN REGARD TO HIS CONVERSION.
On beautiful day in August, 1866 he
started to go to Stevens Point, dis
tanae of 40 miles, byswagon. He had
gone on his journey but mile or so,
when there came such a cloud of guilt
upon him that it seemed he could not
endure it, and must be relieved in some
way; So he concluded to stop at the
first hotel and see if he would not be

B. 9. NOTES.

During the past week signed con-
tract was received from A. j. Bourgeois
of Chicago, who will report at the begin
ming of the season for position on the
Wausau team. He played on the Osh-
kosh team during the seasons l9O60l
and last year was member of the
West Ends of Chicago. team as fam
Gus as Jimmy Callahan's Logan Squares.
Last year he batted .270 He is a strong
fielder and all around player. lie plays
first base, the outfield or catches and is
therefore a strong utility man.

ten days QUE new manager, Jack Nc
Carthy. will sign up quite a number of
players. With the beginning of the
month he win visit the training camps
of the Three the Central and WI.
leagues and pick up players. MIR. Nc
Carthy has the reputation of being y
good judge of base bali material, and it
is expected he will pick up a strong
team. He will be assisted by Pres. W
K. Bryan and Secy. Jos. Komers, who
have had enough base ball experience
TO be able to pick up some good players
President John Elliott of the league
is arranging for post season series
between the winners in our league and
that of the Canadian league which has
succeeded the Northern league. He is
also trying 10 arrange post season
games between the winner in our
league and the pennant team in the
WI. league, la the hrst mentioned
series it is thought advisable to play the
series in Duluth, where il is believed
81. 600 people can be brought out.
President Elliott, in interviews given
in Milwaukee AID Chicago papers,
looks AT the base ball outlook in ver5
bright light. Things look promising in
every city in the league.

will be called by President Elliott, TO be
/ held in Eau Claire next Sunday. Al
that time several matters of Importance
will be brought up. twill be necessary
