Real Fishino.

It is the waiting that is the real
thing, that joy of expectancy which is
a continuous picnic for the tranquil
reveries, that serene vision which sees
the fishes hobnobbing with the bait and
admires their wisdom in refusing to
bite. Then is when philosophy sits
harmonizing all things with beautiful
contingency. OF course the ecstasy Of
a nibble is welcome, but if it passes
unrealized there is the thrill left in all
the ganglias of memory to tighten the
heart for hours or days afterward.
Fishing isn't simply catching some
thing. 1t is sitting in silence where
the sunbeams filter through the green
leaves and the turtle creeps safely
upon yonder log and the woodpeeker
thrums In the dead tree near by-there,
seeking communion with the under
world and playing with ones fancies
down in the green waterS-that's fish
ing. Sometimes one catches some
thing. and the excitement breaks in on
the glorious serenity. but he hastily
puts on another worm, only to resume
the 10y of his waiting and to let his
thoughts run happy with the fishes In
I'd out of their crystal homes.-Colum-

DIRECTIONS FOR
MAKING HENS LAY

Feed regularly and adopt a
regular system of feeding.
Don't throw the food on
muddy places.
1T thrown in the mud the
hen necessarily must eat
snow with the feed, and this
chills the fowl.
Food thrown into the mud
causes the hen to take cold
mud into the stomach, which
IS very undesirable.
In the morning feed ground
food mixed, with warm water,
and to this add two heaping
teaspoonsful of PRUSSIAN
POULTRY TONIC.
Before the fowls go to roost
warm some whole corn and
give them.
Follow these directions and your hens will
become bread winners.
You can procure PrusSian
Poultry Tonic at

VISIT THE EXHIBIT CAR
OF the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul Railway.

The exhibit car of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway, con-
tanning exhibits of farm products,
fruits, etc, from the new country
along it's Pacific Coast extension in
the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho and
Washington, will be at Mineral Point,
on Thursday, January q.
Those exhibits are interesting.
They show the possibilities of this
new country. You are cordially in
vited to visit this car and to inspect
the exhibits. Admission is free.
The country along this new line is
being rapidly settled by good class
of farmers. The land is fertile, IRA
cation is not required in most sec
tions, and crops are of large yield
and of good quality. Excellent farm
ing land is still cheap. Government
homestead may still be secured close
to the new towns along this new line.
This is the country where you can
get a good start toward future indie
pendence.
Booklets describing this new coun-
try may be secured free of charge at
the car, from f. A. Miller, General
Passenger Agent, 348 Marquette
Bldg, Chicago.

especially representative. The club

ioyed a vigorous growth from the
start. The present membership num-
bers 122, and all dues are paid to
Jan. l, 1909, while some members
have paid in advance. The treas
urer's balance sheet showed that the
total receipts for the year amounted
to 81 ,6l6.82 with total disbursements
for the year 81 ,40l. so; having bal
ance, in the treasury of S2l5.32.
The officers who had served the
club faithfully and we'll for the last two
years declining to be reelected, the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year:
T. NJ. Priest'ey, president.
G.. J. Fawkes, vice-president.
E. G. PenhallegOn, treasurer.
J. w. Horn, secretary.
J. J. Fielder, Edward Brown, A. F.
Bishop, Jr., ]. w. Chamley, Neal
Vivian, committee on membership.
A hearty and unanimous vote of
thanks was given the retiring officers.

SCHOOL NOTES.

SCHOOL NOTES.
The high school pupils are all back
after the two weeks of rest. Several
new pupils have entered the grades.
Richard and Amy White have
ceased to be tuition pupils, their peo-
pie having moved into the city.
Miss Schilling, intermediate teacher
in the fourth ward, left Jack Frost in
possession of her room while she Wis
tied the intermediate department in
the second ward Wednesday forenoon.
Mr.. Shepard never gives US chance
to 60 visiting. However, it may be
| too soon to brag.
The new teacher has not yet been
selected, but will be by the beginning
of the next semester.
While the Mt. Horeb schools are
closed on account of sickness, Profes-
sor Kelly and his boys are making
us very pleasant visit. Sorry
about the sickness, but glad to have
the visit.
Miss Leila Olsen. a Blanchardville
Junior, was with US Monday.
Two more of last years graduates
have looked in upon US. This time it
was the Misses Henrietta HanscOm
and Lulu Jackson.
Miss Marion Jones and Ernest
Heathcock were recent callers at the
high school.
That debt we have talked about so
much is half paid. We have paid
S57. 7.43.
We have a little money collected
toward the second half, A complete
statement will be made soon.
We wish again to thank the people
for so kindly helping us to get rid of
the debt.
In order to raise the second part
we shall be obliged to think up some
other scheme. The boys are thinking
of a "box social" sometime in the
spring.
Whatever is done, you will be in
formed from time to time as to what
money we are taking in and where we
are paying it out.

Dodgevilie Town Farmers Insur-
ance Company Meeting.

The Dodgeville Town Farmers
Insurance company made some
changes in its line of work. The com
pany DOW includes the entire town of
Mineral Point in its territory, and is
so changed as to admit of farm prop
erty located within the DOdgeville
city limits, it 500 feet from other risks
They also include the taking of school
houses and permit the use of acete-
tyne in buildings if used with care
1t was decided that shareholders run
their own risk in steam threshing if
no water is provided, and they do
not comply with requirements The
company is in good standing carrying
over half million risk and has
written about one hundred thousand
this year. 1t has passed from $40 in
debt, to a balance of Sl35 in the
treasury, besides paying $500 losses
this year. After the election of direct
ors, John Rowe. Jr. was elected
president, and Chas. 81. Bergman
secretary.

The Annual Tea Meeting.

The long and widely established
fame of the Primitive Methodist church
of Mineral Point for good cheer and
generous hospitality as exemplifed in

pie attended, and they were served an
excellent supper. Many old friend
ships were renewed and new ones
formed. After supper the company

bright addresses. Rev. w. j. Q.
Bond. the pastor, introduced Rev. NJ.

From EdgeIey, North Dakota.

Richard FL. Beckerleg, writing to
the Democrat from Edgeley, N. Oak,
under date of Dee. 81, says: "The
weather has been fine here nearly all
the time, we have had two bad storms,
one the last of Noy. and one yester-
day. The one yesterday was the
worst. The snow would blow in any
where where IL was not air tight and
water tight. We are all we'll and like
it here fine. We think we did right to
make the change. -

THE CAM P-FIRE
OF George III. Legate Post, Grand
Army of the Republic.

The twenty fifth annual campfire of
Geo. Fl. Legate Post held on Friday
evening, Dec. 81, was a very success
full and enjoyable occasion, netting
satisfactory sum for the relief fund
of the Post.
Supper was served in the banquet
room from to 7; and a large number
we're present to partake of the bounti-
ful repast prepared by the ladies.
During the evening the audience
were favored with patriotic selec-
tions by Messr8. Cork, Hughes, Hux-
table and Williams, and the singing
of popular army songs.
Promptly a. 1880, all repaired to the
Main Hall for the program of the
evening. Commander S. E. Shepard
presided; and in a few preliminary
remarks, took the opportunity to
extend the grateful acknowledgement
of the veterans to the business men
and friends generally, for the kind
and liberal support given them in
replenishing the "relief fund" He
wished to assure all, that with the
members of the Post, this fund was
deemed a most sacred trust, every
part of which was used only for chari-
table purposes as specified.
Department Commander E. D. Coe
was unable to attend on account of
illness.
Col. j. A. WatrOus, assistant ad-
jutant general of this department, was
introduced as the speaker of the
evening. Colonel Watrous, besides
being veteran of the civil war served
also in the Spanish American war,
and later was an officer in the regular
army. He is an earnest, pleasing
talker and his address was listened to
with great interest. The COlOnel's
remarks though sufficiently remines-
cent as to the great civil war, differed
somewhat from the ordinary addresses
on these occasions, insOmuch as he
participated in making subsequent
extent upon those events. The speak
er attributed the early examinations of
the Spanish war to ike fact that
our army was very largely made up
of the sons and grandsOns of the
union and confederate soldiers in the
civil war. Colonel WatrOus is also
an enthusiast and a thorough believer
in policies of the government, as
applied to our inSular possessions.
He pointed out that our history re-
cords no mistake made by Uncle Sam
even in the acquisition of territory.
Having spent two and Onehalf years
as a regular officer in the Philippine
Islands, he spoke Interestingly of the
work done there in carrying out the
policies installed and shaped by its
first governor w. Fl. Taft. These
improvements and reforms are fast
bringing about modern conditions,
and proving to the world the whole
some effect OF their administration by
the U. S. government. He spoke of
the great natural resources of the
Islands, and also of the introduction
of the common school system, which
is already bringing most favored re-
suits. The aptitude of the natives to
acquire education is marvellous. A
large proportion of the administrative
officers, at first Americans, have al
ready been replaced by natives who
conduct official business in the En-
glish language.

SPECIAL REDUCTIONS

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
What the Sailor Will Dc to Obtain
Shore Leave.

What the Sailor viii Do to Obtain
Shore Leave.
AS illustrating how men respond and
adjust themselves to reward, or, what
comes TO the same thing, the maximum
satisfaction for a given amount of eff
fort, two instances that came under
my observation while in the navy are
very interesting. One cruise was made
on a vessel whose executive officer was
IN most respects a very able man.
Discipline in general was admirable.
In arranging for shore leave of the
enlisted men, however, he managed so
to arrange matters, strange as it may
seem, that it was possible for a man
II an inferior conduct grade to get
more liberty than one of the best be-
haved men. This was of course en-
tirely unnatural and came about from
combination of two separate systems.
The reason was that naval regulations
compelled the giving Of at least a GER
tain amount of shore leave to men in
the second grade while the system he
was using actually allowed less to a
man in the first grade. The result was
that in q short time the bulk of the
men were in the second conduct grade
where they could get the most liberty.
At a later date, on another ship, the
executive officer was an extremely
able man, who had studied this ques-
ton more carefully and was a great
believer in making it worth while for
the men TO behave themselves and
keep in a high conduct grade. He so
arranged matters that If any man be-
haved himself sufficiently well and
did all his work with high efficiency
he could have an unusual amount Of
liberty. The result was that this ship
had more than half its crew in what
is known as the special first class.
far and away the largest percentage
that ever came under my observation
