OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
PILOT NEARLY FIFTY YEARS AGO

men of the day This man became the
most deyout and pious person in the
community.
He was driving in an open wagon one
time between here aud Stevens Point
Some say he was going to the Point,
some say he was travelling in the oppo-
site direction. He was coming up the
hill near Mosinee when suddenly the
horses stopped. he swore great oath,
gave them the whip and urged them
on. They shivered violently but would
not move. According to one account,
a woman, dressed all in black came out
of the woods and stood at their head,
bnt others say that no woman appeared,
He heard the voice of his mother, who
had been dead for many years, com
manding him to get out and pray that
he might be saved, and not daring TO
refuse he stepped out and knelt down
to pray, there in the heart of the forest.
Arriving in the Point he remained at
the house of friend and went for sew
eral days without food, and when he
finally returned to Big Bull, he was so
changed that mere acquaintance
would scarcely have recognized him.
His whole life was changed, and fsw
could believe that he was the same
man. From being one of the worst
men in the community ke became one
of the best, and his whole subsequent
life was spent in undoing the work he
felt he had done before lis conversion.
He became member of the church and
a reformer of existing evils and when
he died year or so later, his death was
universally mourned. The noble quail
ties which he had suppressed asserted
themselves. His kindness of heart, hon
esty and rigid morality became known
beyond Wausau, and as an upright
man he held prominent position as
he had before held as wicked one.
This is his story as we have learned
it from the older settlers. No one has
doubted it, and those that knew him
never will. The story is a strong one
but they tell us that truth is stranger
than fiction Thomas Hinton has rela-
tives and descendants still here, and
there are many old settlers who will
long be remembered He was one of
the most prominent characters of pio-
neer days and deserves to be accorded
one of the first places in the early an.

Rsst Treatment for Colds.

Most ordinary colds win yield to the
simplest treatment" says the Chicago
Tribune, 'moderative luxatives, hot
foot baths, a free prespiration aud an
avoidance of exposure to cold and wet
after treatment" While this treatment
IS simple, it requires considerable
trouble, aud the one adopting it must
remain in doors for day or two, or n
fresh cold is almost sure to be contract
ell, and in many instances pneumonia
follows. lsit not better to pin your
faith to, ,an old reliable preparation like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, that is
famous for its cures of colds and can
always be depended upons For sale by

APRIL ADMIxTURE.

And now We have arrived at the
April mile post. The first day of this
month is always designated "All FOOLS
day" and the empty barrel in front OF
the BELLS House last Thursday, labeled
Big Snake inside" caused many a
pedestrian on Third street to take a
look inside the receptacle, euly to
lind piece of cardboard at the bottom
on which was inscribed, "You are a
fool" Speaking of fools, reminds us
that there are three kinds:
Common, or those who think the
cost of living will ever go down again
Preferred, or those who thought pros
perity wonld return Immediately after
the presidential election.

Venus will be the morning star until
April 2S; then evening star the balance

The month will be under Aries, the
ram, and children born this month will
always be butting in where not wanted,
and will get presents of gold fish and
Bill Possums.
Easter will come on the llth. 1t is a
little bit early to say what the spring
styles in millinery will be like, but from
the young ones we have seen, it appears
the merry widows have married derbys,
and the issue resembles neither parent.
The milliners were determined to turn
out something which would keep
women from having their old sky
pieces re-trimmed, and they did it.
The revision Of the tariff by congress

The last crop of valentines proved that
there is no foreign competition in this

st. Patrick freed Ireland of snakes

EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE.

Announcements are just being sent
out Of tae seventh annual Educational
Conference to be held at Morgartown
on Friday and Saturday, juno rs and
20. These conferences are highly in.
tHresti7g and very valuable. Il is
there that the various educational in.
terests meet on common ground and
di5c1lss the problems arising in the
various kinds and degrees of work.
The educational conference was an
outgrowta Of the summer school which
was started few years ago AMI!
watch has done 50 much for the teach
ers and schools of West Virginia.
There is such a strong tendency FOR
school men to become "bookish" and
impractical that such gatherings as
the educational conference are almost
absolutely necessary to turn the ct.
teEtton away from the class room and
the text books and give the teacher
q look up and out on the whole field
of education. The teacher WHO has
not attended one Of these educational
conferences cannot realize what he
has missed. It certainly does repay
anyone for the time it takes and the
money it costs to meet the represen-
tatlyes Of the various educational In.
terests at the annual conference at
Morgantown.
