SMOKING in Church.

Smoking in church is a Dutch GUS

smokers that one of them is seldom
seen without his pipe. Indeed, it is
a fact that they find themselves un-
able to forego the indulgence, even
for the short period of church serv-
ice.-The Sunday Magazine.

Last Wednesday he met with his
second distressing accident within a
year While walking to a neigh
Dor s with whom he often drives to
town where he is attending school. he
stumbled and fell into a ditch by the
roadside.
The fall broke his left arm between
the elbow and wrist, and as he has
been cripple for some time, he was
unable to move himself. He laid
there for half hour before being
discovered
A year ago while on the way to
school Joe met with a similar &C
cident. That time he fell and broke
his leg. The bone was set but failed
to knit Gangrene set in and and
amputation was found necessary to
save the boys life.
After being able to get around on
crutches he started to drive to school
but one. day his horse ran away and
while he was. uninjured his parents
did not care to let him take any
chances. After that be would walk
a short distance to his cousin s home
and ride to Cassville with them.
1t was on this short walk that the
last accident befell the little fellow.
Joseph is the son o. Mr.. and Mrs

OF the 8 342 automobiles registered
in Wisconsin, 40 per cent are owned
by the people of Milwaukee county,
and during this year there have been
registered 300 cars, representing an
investment of over eleven million
dollars. 1t is reported that one
seventh of the autos registered are
owned by farmers, but we very much
doubt this Seven per cent might
have been meant, but even this would
seem higher than the facts would
warrant. Surely the farmers are the
particularly prosperous class now and
can better afford an auto than large
per centage of those who buy them,
but it is only very recently that
farmers have INDUCED in the auto

The Chicago Sunday Tribune con
tanned an interesting account OF the
remarkable rise of Judge Jacob
Fawcett. who is now on the supreme
bench of Nebraska. 1t was doubly
interesting to old Grant county
citizens who knew Judge Fawcett' 8
people when they lived in this
county. His father Joshua Fawcett
lived some years ago at Hurricane and
was a familiar figure in Lancaster.
The original home of the family in
Grant Co. was Hazel Green where
Jacob Fawcett worked with his father
in the lead mines. At the age of
fourteen be enlisted in Company
Sixteenth Wisconsin Cavalry as a
drummer boy but when enlisted he in
sisted on serving in the ranks.
Throughout the war his career was
honorable He was badly wounded
at Shi Oh but after recovering return
ed to duty, serving through the war
and being mustered out July u,
%
on Bald ELL in front Of Atlanta but
this did not keep him from participant
ing in the closing campaign. After
the clUs5 &c the war he started to
learn blacksmithiug and at twenty
had a shop of his own. By studying
nights he obtained legal education
and was admitted to the bar in 1878.
He practiced at Galena. Ill and be-
came judge there serving two terms.
Later he moved to Omaha and was
appointed lecturer in the College of
Law in the state university which
position he held nine years. In 1895
he was elected to the District bench
in Dougless Co. where his ability was
recognized all over the state We
quote the Tribune article: Judge
Fawcett is now 60 years OF age. but is
as healthy and vigorous In both mind
and body as the average man of 40.
The personal qualities that brought
him respect and warm friendship
FROM his companions when he was
boy worker in the mines Of Wisconsin
and that endered him 80 his soldier
comrades Of the war. and the sturdy
working capacity that brought him
the success as a young blacksmith.
brings him now as a widely known
iurist and judge Of the SUPP ame court
the confidence and love Of all who
know him personally. The old wounds
of the war left their marks upon his
body, but the herd work and the
stern experience of life time have
left no sourness in his amiable dis
position. and he moves among his
fellow workers in the law with a
manly dignity that marks as an
honest, kindly, manly man.
