SETH BARBER SWAN
One of the Pioneers of the Town o
wauwatosa is Laid at Rest.

One OF the PlODPSEs OF the Town OF
wauwatosa is Laid at Rest.
Seth Barber Swan was born in
Springwater, Livingston County, New
York. November 25, 1929. On July 4,
1887, at the age of eight, he came to
Wisconsin. The boyhood days were
spent with his parents and brothers
and sisters on the farm where he help
ed to clear up the land and build the
roads. On January /, 1856 he was uni
ted in marriage to Miss Maria Moore
of Wauwatosa, who was called to her
reward March 13, 1889. Five children
were born to these parents, Ida, Wal
ter, Bertha, Edward and Clarence.
Three died in their youth or infancy
leaving but two, Bertha and Clarence,
to survive the father.
Many were the trials and struggles
Mr.. and Mrs Swan had to meet as pio-
neers in the early days. But, with a
firm faith in God and a good supply of
that courage and endurance which
characterized the thrifty pioneers of
Wisconsin, they finally succeeded in
carving out of the woods their beauti-
full farm home, where so many years
have been peaceably and usefully spent
The neighbors and lifelong friends of
our departed brother knew him only
to love and respect him. Those who
dealt with him in business transactions
found him absolutely beyond reproach.
Though modest in his way, he has ex-
erted lasting influence upon his
friends and acquaintance His church
found in him loyal supported and
during the long years of membership
relied upon him and always found him
ready to respond to her needs.
Mr.. Swan was hard worker, and
this, too, against the odds of i'll health
during the latter part of his life. For
more than twenty five years he had
been a sufferer from asthma which
naturally grew worse as old age came
on, finally claiming it's victim. He re-
sided in Wauwatosa for seventy two
years, fifty of which were spent here
on the farm. The long and useful life
came to It's close on the morning of
February 6, 1909, when our brother
gladly answered the Masters summons
to come up higher, for he louged to go
home and be Mt rest
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence at o'clock on Monday, February
s, 1909 Rev. Sanborn of the Under
wood Memorial Baptist church officat-
ing. Interment being in the family
lot at the Wauwatosa cemetery, and
the remains were followed to the grave
by large number of relatives and sor-
rowing friends, Thus ends TIE life of
another of Wauwatosa's pioneers,
The family have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends not only in the
city and town of Wauwatosa, but of
the surrounding towns as we'll.

Some say thatrents are too high. that
land values are too high. and that there
is no money in farming. 1t is true to
a certain extent that money is not piled
up so rapidly by the agriculturist now
as in the past, but there are good and
sufficient reasons therefor, The day
has gone by when the seed can be sown
and the development of bountiful
crop left in "a great measure to nature.

We wonder how many of our readers
have noticed the difference between
the man who has been married but a
short time and one who has been mar
ried several years. You can always
tell young husband from an old one.
When man has been married few
months, you viii generally see him
working in the garden or fixing up
about the house and while he works he
whistles, or sings, or occasionally looks
up towards the window to see if any
one is watching him A year later he
is still working in the garden but the
smile has been exchanged for a frown
and he occasionally looks up towards
the house wondering why IN thunder

rolls by and his looks would sour milk,
but he is still at work, stopping occa-
sonally to kick the dog or throw a
brick at the cat. The next year we
find him sitting on the front porch.

watch our young men, as one by one,
they are caught in Cupid's net and see
if this rule does not work out the prob
lem correctly.

"Snarl," is a despised dog. even
among dogs. The human ''snarl" is
always Stunned by his fellow beings,
and has but little influence which al
ways takes the form of dark shadow
there is no sunlight in ''snarl's"
soul.

When applied to the newspaper page
they make people think twice.
First, people think there's a man who
keeps up with the proce sion.
Second, they think he must keep
good goods on hand.
Again, if the home paper has enough
drops of advertising ink on its surface
to make proper showing the outsider
thinks this must be pretty lively
town.
Thus a drop of NEWSPAPER AID
VERTISING INK is a good thing for
the town.

GoNGs FOR COUNTRY HOUSES
More Musical Than the old-Time Din
ner Bell to Summon the
Family Together.

In country houses it is becoming
more and more fashionable to use
chimes or gongs of some sort to sum-
mon the family at meal times. Often
the different members are scattered,
some on porches or out in the grounds,
others in their rooms, and it is almost
impossible for a maid to announce
Dinner is served" to each one.
Many attractive chimes or gongs are
w provided which are both more
musical and less palpable than the old
tirae dinner bell. Most of these chimes
are of Japanese origin and are gener-
ally ornamental arrangement of gongs
and bells attached to rods or cords of
board which can be hung.
A fascinating variation seen recent
ly could be stood on buffet or on
small table just inside the dining
door. 1t was a Chinese coolie in
bronze, about eight or ten inches high.
Over his shoulder he carried rod to
one end of which was attached two
small gongs and to the other one large
one, A small striker was slipped
through the COOLIES belt. where 1t
was ever in readiness when wanted.

crowdina Out All Native Thinus.

In New Zealand, the native Poly.
nesian race, crowded by Europeans, is
becoming extinct. Many of the i'm
ported animals run wild ana multiply
rapidly at the expense of the native
species, even the streams being filled
with European and American trout
which grow to great size. introduced
plants thrive quite as remarkably
New forests are being created design,
edly because the native trees. though
yielding excellent timber, grow very
slowly, and already many millions OF
larches, oaks, spruces, Douglas frs
and eucalyptus have been planted,
while seedlings from them are being
continually added.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-06-26
Use of Slips.

Corset covers and chemises are cut
low and lingerie waists are of the
sheerest materials. Wherefore some
sort of slip" is necessary as inter
yening between the two. Slips conse-
quently will be in great demand this
season. They are made of very strong
mousseline de sole. They have round
neck and half short sleeves when
bought ready-made in the shops. They
are perfectly plain, being finished at
neck and sleeves with narrow hem.
The stores sell them by the dozen.
h, One girl, who is thin. wears these
slips under all her summer, waists.
She finds that 1t gives her a much
better shape around the shoulders,
while the added warmth in hot
weather is hardly noticeable.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-06-26

Bordered foulard in a delightful
shade of green was used for an at
tractive gown patterned after above
model. The yoke of bodice is formed
of fan plaits of white silk mousseline,
with stock, tab and side pieces of
lace. The bertha band and pointed
strap pieces are made from the bor-
der, which has an embroidered ring
in green several shades darker than
material. These are edged top and
bottom with velvet ribbon in dark
green. Fancy crochet buttons are
placed in each point. Four deep cir
cular tucks form the blouse and the
same number Of tucks are used in
tops of sleeves. The skirt is plain, the
dotted border forming the hem.

Iron Hair Tonic.

A good hair tonic containing iron
is made from half an ounce of tine
ture of acetate of iron, half pint of
water. quarter of an ounce glycerine
and 21s grains of sulphuret of potas-
sum. 1t should be well mixed and
the stopper of the bottle left out for
a while. Then ten drops of oil OF
lavender is added. 1t is Rassegsd
nightly into the scalp.

Delicious Noodles.

Break four eggs into one quart of
flour, salt, mix well, divide into four
equal parts and roll thin and then let
dry for an hour. Then make into rolls;
take knife and cut into thin strips and
shake loose. Then they are ready to
put in the chicken or meat broth and
bring to boil, ready to serve. Use
no water or milk: mix as above.

TAKE CARE OF COTTON SEED.

When cotton is giHned the seed
should be placed away carefully in
a house or under q shelter where they
will be kept dry. Then it is we'll to
examine them occasionally to see that
they do not AXE heat and get lam
aged from becoming too hot, Unless
We have a wet fall there is not much
danger of seed damaging from heat
except the first that are ginned. If
packed away in bulk they may get
spoiled from heat. A good plan is
to examine them and stir them if you
find them needing it. Moving them
from one place to another will often
allow them to cool. Another way to
cool them is to dig holes to the floor
all about in the pile Of seed just as
if you were going to set posts in the
holes. Don put seed out in the field
TO take the weather. II you can not
do better make a pen to put them in
and cover it Yer carefully. 1t will
pay we'll to cover the seed if they are
to be used for manure and they must
be protected to make them in condi-
for the oil mills. More farmers
will sell SEED this ear than ever be-
fore as the prices on them are going
high. It never pays to bury seed
when they can be sold at from thirty
TO forty cents per bushel. AS the
years 90 by cotton seed are becoming
more and more valuable. More Of
the oil is used in making good lard
and the meal is finding markets for
feed to the very ends Of the earth.

ThTe~nin@ COWpeaS.

| am glad to note that the Roger pea
thresher is being tested by our lad
ers. | had been watching the making
Of that machine several years. for I
have often said that the only real pea
threSher must be one that threshes the
peas from the UOWn hay. When DR..
Roger had completed the machine I
went all the way to Hawkins county,
Tennessee, to see it work, and was
glad TO see that a real pea threshes
had been made.
There are two other machines on
the market that do good work in the
field. These are both designed to
gather and clean the peas from the
standing plants, and one Of them, at
least, does IT nicely. But the difficulty
with these machines is that one must
let the peas stand in rows till dead
ripe, and then lose the hay. This, Of
course, does not matter to the man
who is growing peas for seed only. but
most farmers need the hay, too, and
the hay is often worth more to the
farmer thar the seed. Then, too, they
can be used only for q short time in
the fall. while the machine hat
threshes from the stored hay can
traVel around a wide neighborhood all
winter and thresh for every one. and
him the hay in fine shape for
feeding.

Money in DairNin@.

The man Wro runs a dairy in con-
nection with his farming will usually
have better crops than his neighbors
who try to make every crop With the
use OF commercial fertilizer. In every
town in the South there is q demand
for more and better milk and butter.
and the farmer need not be a dairy
man entirely. but there are few who
cannot make a few COWS a profitable
part Of their farming. One great adj
vantage Of the dairy over beef is the
fact that the cash is coming in all
the time, While 1t takes q whole sea-
son TO make the beef. Having some
thing to bring in money during the
cropping season is a great advantage,
for the cash enables a farmer TO get
hands and better ones.
