Seratch-pad Reflections; Wise and
Otherwise.
.One who never turned his back, but
marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break,
Never dreamed, though right were
worsted, wrong would triumph,
Held we fall to rise, are baff1ed to
fight better,
Sleep to wake.
mo at MONDAY in the hustle of mans
worktime,
Greet the unseen with a cheer!
Bid him forward, breast and back as
either should be,
Strive and thrive!' cry Speed
fight on, fare ever,
There as here!'"

Fifty Years Old

With this issue of the Leader, the pa
per passes the semi-centenial of its ex-
istence. During the many years that
have come and gone, the paper has been
faithful chrOnicler of local events, JOY
Gus and sad. The births, marriages and
deaths have been mentioned with words
Of cheer or sadness. Every good work
for the advancement Of the village and
city has found an earnest supporter in
the Leader, which has sometimes al it's
own pecuniary loss favored improve
mentS and industries which have been
of value to the city, aiding in the evO-
luton from a village into the most beau
tiful city in the state. Policies no
doubt, have been advocated which did
not meet with the approval Of the peo-
pie, as would be natural, but the welfare
and prosperity of Watertown was the in
spiration. But what changes have oc-
Cured in city, state and nation during
the half century? Those who were the
leaders so years ago in all the activities
of life, now sleep in the silent cities
all over the country, among them, the
former editors and publishers OF The
Leader, E. d. Coe. Julius Keyes and Will
liam Norris, who stood for the best in
the social, moral and political life.

Carl SChurZ Park

The carl Schurz National
Memorial" has become possible.
The old homestead and its ten
acres of ground in Watertown that
formerly was the residence of the
great soldier and statesman is to
be purchased for $40, 900 from the
present owner, John |. Beggs, in
the first part of September, and it
will be maintained by the western
association as a national park.
Ernest A. Kehr, chairman of the
Milwaukee committee, was in New
York last week and attended the
banquet of the New York COM
mittee.
On this committee that has been
raising funds in New York for the
purchase of the Schurz homestead
are Senator John C. Spooner and
Edward Broennimann, among other
Wisconsin men. A meeting of the
committee is to be held on Sept. I,
when it will be formally decided
to purchase the homestead.
The western association, which
comprises all the territory outside
of New York, is raising an endow-
ment fund of $40. 900 which will be
used to maintain the park.
The homestead is in fairly good
condition." said Mr.. Kehr, but
it will require the $4,000 raised
by the New York committee to pur-
chase the property and put the
house into the condition we want
it.
The grounds are to be fitted
out beautifully, and all will be
maintained as national park.
There is great interest all over
the country in fitting up this old
home as perpetual, national
memorial to a great man. Mill

Monday evening, Miss Sadie Norton,
the popular society reporter on the Times

All Got Home All Right

Sunday morning, large number went
from this city to Waukesha Beach to
spend the day and picnic. They went
by the interurban line and exercised
fOrethOught by purchasing return tickets.
During the afternoon, storm struck
Milwaukee and lightning struck the
power house of the interurban company
at West Allls and put it out OF business
and stopped operations on the line as
far as running cars over the road to the
west, compelling those at the Beach to
take advantage of the steam road In re-
turning to their home, some crossing the
lake by boat in order to catch train
and others going to Milwaukee for the
same purpose all having return tlcKets
over the inJerurban line in their pockets.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon another
party started for the Beach and their
car was STALLED" near Delafield and the
occupants were Oblidged to ''hOOf it, to
that place where they hired farmer to
take them to NashOtah where they tar
ried until the evening train on the st.
Paul road going west came along, which
they boarded for home much disaDpOint-
ed with the experiences of the day with
their return tickets in their possession.
A party Of thirty-twO people went to
Oconom0wOc by the interurban, some OF
them leaying at o'clock and the others
at o'clock, the object of their visit be-
ing to listen to lecture on Christian
Science by Mary Brookins of Minneapo-
lis. They to, by reason of the "tie up
on the interurban line were obliged to
avail themselves Of the steam railroad
in order to get home some arriving at
s o'clock and others at 1920 p. IN. with
their return tickets also in their pockets
to keep as souvenirs Of the day, unless
redeemed by Bro. Beggs.
In spite however of the experiences OF
the day, all were happy and Watertown
looked good to them on their return and
will not deter them from going again,
should they feel disposed to do so.

They Help NJ all Order Houses

Recently, moss back merchant saw a
well-tO-d do farmer receiving goods at the
St. Paul depot which had been shipped
from Chicago mail order house. The
goods the farmer was receiving were in
his line and had been carried in his store
for years. He accosted the farmer and
said: II could have sold you every arti-
Gle you have there for less money than
you paid in Chicago and saved you the
freight"
"Then why in thunder didn't you say
SOP" answered the farmer. Il have been
taking the Leader for years, and have
never seen line about your selling
these goods and inviting me to visit your
store and examine your goods and learn
your prices"
There are several such merchants in
this city, who when they pass in their
chips will not be missed.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
AT WATERFOWL. WIS.
1t Combines Thorough College
Training With the Best Christian
Influence.


The college of the Northwestern uni
versity of WatertOwn, Wis, controlled by
the Lutheran Synod of Wisconsin Ger
man, has little reason to fear the criti-
cisms hurled against American colleges
in recent times.
In its collegiate department it has re-
mained an old-line college pure and
simple 1t has profited by the experience
both of Germany and of America.
1t has arranged its course for such
young men as want TO prepare for any
one of the learned professions or want
to take up postgraduate work in Ger
man or American universities. With
this end in view the faculty offers its
students a prescribed course (nO cleo
tives). Upon completing this course a
young man will have good general ed
ucation in languages and literature
English, German, Latin and Creek,
will know much history, mathematics,
including trigOnOmetry, and will have
obtained an elementary knowledge of
the more important sciences. During
his stay at the college he will always
have been under good Christian infiuen-
ces and will have received regular re-
ligious instruction, doing for his heart
what the course of studies does for his
mind
1t is this latter element of the Erich
ung impaired at Watertown that makes
so much for strong Christian man
hood, Milwaukee Free Press.

GrdtutiOuS Advice


gentleman needs encouragement. One
way, is to tell how some other gentlemen
is bothering you with his protestations
Of love and desire to marry you. If that
does not bring proposal, then fall upon
his neck and weep great big tears and
tell him that life will be Sahara des-
ert without him. That is usually effica-
cious in lOosening the tongue of BASH
full man.
Marie. 1t is certainly in bad taste to
be too loud on the street, especially in
the evening. Your parents did right in
reproving you and you will thank them
for their words of loye and caution some
day and realize, that it was love which
prompted the reproval.
Yes, Mary, the ideal girl, is the
girl who loves her mother and fol-
lows her advice. Do not feel that you
have no liberty because your mother will
not permit you to be gadding about the
streets nights gossiping, with young
men who make slurring remarks about
you to their associates.
Our advice John, is to take the home
loving, mOther-helping girl. Let the
flirt go, for you would never be happy
with her.
Helen. Good taste condemns peek-a-
boo waists, particularly if they are to
peek-a-bOo. A real modest, pure hearted
girl will not try to expose too much Of
her anatomy. 1t may be the fashion
but just think of the class of women
who set that fashion. Ee modest, for it
is the charm of girlhood.
Then she promised to go with you and
went with the other fellow Alex? If
were you, would not get mad about
little thing like that. You were lucky,
for girl who does not know her own
mind would be unsafe as wife. Think
yourself lucky, indeed.
-
As a matter Of precautiOn Ellen. we
coincide in your opinion, that when
young lady accompanies a young man
into the woods upon the river bank in
the night time, she should leave the fam
lily dog at home. While the dog may
not be able to speak, his presence may
speak louder than words.
1t is in exceeding bad taste Libbie, for
a girl yet in short dresses to hang around
on Main street at late hour at night
to flirt with anything that wears
breeches.
