California conditions, according to a

A Rabbit Hunt.

An incident which was more anus
ing to the spectators than to the ac-
tual participants, occurred at the
wood Bros. ranch, about four
miles west of this city Tuesday. The
one most interested in the affair. at
least the one who took the part of
leading man, was Chris Eismann.
Mr. Eismann, in company with Fred
owens, was rabbit hunting. Since
the recent heavy rains some little
Islands were formed and in order to
reach the rabbits the gentlemen con-
structed a raft and set sail on their
hunting trip. Whether the trouble
was due to the inferior boat build
ing ability or the depth of the water
Is not known, but the raft sank inst
before they reached the island and
chris went overheard. All at once
the hunting trip was turned into a
fishing expedition, with Mr.. Owens
angling for Mr.. Eismann who was
safely landed, but not until he was
saturated by his encounter with the
elements. Not a rabbit did they get
but Chris got wet. Better to stick
to apple raising, Chris, boat build
ing is not in your line. Sail on dry
land for awhile and let Russell and
Horning kill the rabbits.

reason for this extraordinary move
Is simply this: We recently shipped
fourteen pianos to this city to be dis

selling four instruments, he left for
parts unknown. Our misfortune will
be your gain. They are the finest
lot of instruments ever seen in this
city, and they must, and will be sold
regardless of the sacrifice. In
cluded are such world famous makes
as the Kimball, awarded Highest
Grand Prize at Chicago, and again
at the Seattle Exposition; Lester, the
pride of Philadelphia; the popular
f. H. Eiers, and several others

the shortest possible time. If yours

chance to buy piano for a Christ

ing, so do not lose any time. Re-

Day after day, from morn to night,
Where the sky is clear crystal bell,
And Its deepblue depths all gloom dispel
And here raineth the liyelong day,
And the mud lies thick the broad highway
The mss hide the mounain-tops from view,
And the gray clouds Danish the heavens blue.
But the grass and the he'd ges fresh and green

The thirsty forests and fields drink their I'LL,

articles containing good stuff on north

cured the good will of large number
of the influential dailies, including the
Chicago Record Herald, Chicago Amer

has secured the publication in them OF
number of articles on the resources
of northern Wisconsin. These articles
reach an immense number of people
who are DESTROYS of acquiring homes,

than literature sent out by land dealers.

improved Photographic Lens.

One of the latest Photographic
inventions is lens by means of which
q complete view all around the OBJ.
server can be taken at once. 1t Is
known as periscope lens, and en-
ables the observer to see all around
the horizon without moving. Such q
lens should prove useful on board
ship, In aeroplanes and In all cases
where a view all around is essential,
The result is attained by means of a
circular ring of glass curved on the
outer surface, and fat inside. BY this
the light from all sides Is reflected
down the tube which carries the lens.
The periscope lens enables the photog-
rapher to take circular picture OF
the view all around hin. The new
lens is a British invention.
