Rehearsed Christening


minister also remarks on this versatility OF
genius Of the college girl.
'They are a boon to the race" he says
'They Introduce new ideas which are positively
delightful into the the most commonplace af-
fairs of life. The other day 1 christened the
first baby OF a married college girl and all
during the ceremony 1t smiled up beautifully
into my face.
Now, babies usually cry while they are be-
ing christened, and 1 congratulated the
young mother on her little ones lamblike be-
havior and what do you think she said? Why
of course he behaved we'll. His father and 1,
with pail of water, have been practicing
christening on him for the last two days The
idea of rehearsing a christening! Who but a
college girl would think of such a thing?'
The real secret of the average girl graduate $
success in matrimony, We are told is her ca
pacity for keeping up with her husband and
growing as he grows" The average college
bred wife is heartily sorry, it appears, for the
pretty little ignoramus who is depending only
on her face and clothes to hold her husband ."

Los ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, II 1909
FOR A GOOD WIFE
WED A COLLEGE GIRL

In recent discussions about the colege-bred
wife this charmer comes out with flying colors
Considering her one writer points out, and en-
forces her view with examples, that, whether
IL be SanslSrit or chemistry or any other branch
of knowledge that an American girl touches'
If she learns 1t with her mind it adds some
thing of dizziness to her touch in handling a
fryingpan, a baby a husband"
one merry graduate maintains that a college
girl has crushing advantage over any other
girl in ANY Job she puts her hand to.
'If that job be matrimony,' she persists,
"she does that better, too. Oh, yes, I know"
she hastens to anticipate your insinuatons'
'the college girl doesn't marry so soon as other
girls simply because she can't catch man as
soon, but once caught she holds him faster.
Did you ever hear of divorced college girl?
she asks with air Of fnality in clinching
the argument

OUR CIVIC CREED.


God hath made of one blood all
nations of men and we are His chill
dren, brothers and sisters all. We
are citizens of these United States,
and we believe that our flag stands
for self-sacrifice for the good of all the
people. We want, therefore, to be
true citizens of our great city and we
will show our love for her by our
works.
Wausau does not ask us to die for
her welfare; she asks us TO live for
her, and SO to live and so to act that
her government may be pure, her Off
GERS honest, and that every corner Of
her territory shall be fit place to
grow the best men and women to rule
over her.
The above creed will be distributed
among the city grade schools, and
every pupil will be required to commit
1t to memory.

A number of Wausau citizens
have donated sum of money sufficient
to furnish good meal to many al

programs which will be carried out.
All or nearly all Of the English
churches will join in union services
which will be conducted in the Uni

what the seating capacity of the
schurch will be taxed at that time
Rev. Duer will preach the sermon.
There is little prospect of sleighing
and the pleasures of sleigh rides and
cOaSting will not in all likelihood be
experienced. The ice on the sloughs
OF the river is as yet unsafe for skat-
ing. Don't let little Willie try to
prove us liar. unless you think the
undertaken needs lift.
There appears to be good supply
of birds of different varieties and the
prices of the Thanksgiving fowl will
be about the same as last year, with
conditions favoring less money to buy
it with.
Turkey, cranberries, mince pie,
fried oysters shaw, what's the use
making our mouth water unneces-
sarily.
The turkey gobbler is very I'M
friendly bird just now. He wears q
worried, far-away look
These are about all the thoughts
on this subject we can expurgate from
our thinktank just at present Maybe
there will be more in our dome next
year.
Miss Trip will spend Thanksgiving
at her home in Chicago and while
there will visit some of the Chicago
schools.
The Kindergarten at the Grant

as to be seemingly impenetrable, his
implicit faith that sunshine would
sooner or later break through, made
his life one of perpetual cheerfulness.
lie possessed that power of faith
which made him confident that all
questions, which yex many and worry
the most of us, would be adjusted
rightly. So he went about giving
cheer to those in trouble and sickness
and when assistance was needed it
was ever given as his means would
allow. This was Characteristic of Mr..
johnson from the time when he la
bored hard as young man as we'll as
when fortune had smiled upon him.
II was this kindly, cheerful, generous
disposition that made him so beloved
by everybody with whom he became
acquainted. 1t was only few weeks
ago, that it became known that his
days on earth were numbered. 1t was
a severe shock to his family and
friends, but, realizing it himself, he
was ready to go and was cheerful and
hopeful to the last.
Besides his widow he leaves one
daughter, Mrs. w. c. Hintze of this
city, two Step-SonS, George Worden
Of the town of Wausau, and Hiram
Worden of Los Angeles, CAL; three
sisters, Mrs. John Liljeqvist of this
city and Anna and Sarah who reside
in Sweden and one brother, Gust, who
also resides in Sweden; also numerous
nieces, and nephews of this city
The funeral was held Saturday at
? p. ~. from the First Presbyterian
church, where Mr. Johnson was an
elder for several years, the services
being conducted by Rev. Duer and
assisted by Rev. w. 0. Carrier, of
Waukesha.
The services of Rev. Duer were very
impressive. His theme was, a "Prince
Has Fallen
In his remarks, DR.. Carrier spoke
of Mr.. Johnson's early struggles, lack
of education and opportunity and
how the Swedish emigrant boy had,
by reason only of his strict integrity,
honesty of purpose and dealings and
purity of character and sympathic
nature had endeared himself to the
rich and the poor, the educated and
the uneducated
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful and included several de-
signs, conspicuous among which was
a 'shroken column the tribute of
twenty-five neighbors. The pail bear
ers were, +. p. Stone, James Mont
gomery, A. H. Clark, A. III. Grout, S.
S. Meseryey, Neil Campbell, f. L.

INTERESTING TALK.

Rev. Frank E. Field, representa-
tive of the Presbyterian church in the

nifty fund which the United States
returned to that country some years
ago. That it was used to build the
inner harbor at Yokohoma; that it
was now an open port and safe har-
Dor for all ships. The United States
returned to China part of the Box
er war indemnity fund, amounting to
S14, 000,0 China is using that money
in sending her studious young men
abroad to learn western civilization,
many are placed in different schools
of technology. In the past three
years China has made wonderful prog
reSS and is now anxious for western
civilization Now is the great oppor-
tunity to christianize China.

John A. Johnson, one of Wausau's
prominent lumbermen, passed peace
fully away at st. Mary's hospital
where he had undergone a surgical
operation about week previous. The
cause of death was cancer of the
stomach, with which he had been ailing
some three months, submitting to an
operation only as last resort. 1t was
then aScertained that the disease had
progressed to point where there
could be no relief given and that
death was only matter of few
weeks at most.
Mr.. Johnson was born in Sweden,
September % 1915 aud his early life
was one of hardships and privations.
Losing his father at the age of eight
the home was broken UP and he was
thrown upon the kindness and char
ity of neighbors and relatives them-
selves too poor scarcely to provide
for their own. He tended the tlOckS
of sheep for the villagers and when a
child of ten years had often known
the pangs of hunger. He was later
employed as a farm laborer and fore

migrated to America, walking TO
Wausau from Stevens Point which
was then the end of the railroad.
He found employment at the saw
mill at Kelly, where he became ac-
quainted with Mrs. Mary Worden to
whom he was united in marriage two
years later. A farm was purchased
on the Eau Claire and he also entered
into partnership with S. S. MeSeryey,
the two taking and executing logging
contracts for number of years, until
he entered partnership with +. Nj.
Smith under the firm name OF Smith
s. Johnson. They engaged in the
hardwood and barrel Stave business,
operating at Pine River, Boyd, Port
age, Baraboo, Soldiers Grove and
other places in Wisconsin and at
Doniphan, Mo-
Mr.. Johnson was also member of
the lumber concerns of Schultz &
Johnson and Hollis, Kruger & john
son, the latter firm being recently in
corporated as the Parrish Lumber
company, of Parrish, Wis. Besides
the numbering interests he was identi-
fed with the organization of the Wau-
sau Sandpaper company, the Wausau
Fixture & Furniture company and
