They have a pet sparrow that is
perfectly white. Do you know how

The result, after g series Of genera

Something

There is one especially good
thing about a Christmas pres
ent of The Youths Companion,
1t shows that the giver thought
enough of you to give you some
thing worth while.
1t is easy to choose something
costing a great deal more which
is absolutely useless, but to
choose a present costing only
S1.75 that will provide a long
years entertainment, and uplift-
ing conpanionship of the wise
and great, is another matter.
There is one present, however,
which does just that-The
Youths Companion.
If you want to know whether
it is appropriate or welcome,
Just visit the home of some Com
panion subscriber on Compan-
ion day.
Do not choose any Christmas
present until YOU have examined

YOU free sample copies and the
beautiful Prospectus for 1911,
telling something of how The

larged and improved

WARDENS FIND SET GUN
Hidden Rifle Nearly Causes
Death of Hunter Who Dis
covers it in Woods Near
Three Lakes.

Special Game Warden J. H.
Korzilius of Three Lakes arrest
ed q citizen of that village Fri
day for having out set gun
The Rhinelander News voices
our sentiments in speaking of it
as follows:
A warrant was sworn out be-
fore Municipal Judge Walker
Friday for the arrest of Mike
Kellum of Three Lakes who is
charged with having set gun
in the woods near there. A resi-
dent of Three Lakes very nearly
ran into the gun and this led to
the warrant. The practice Of
hunting game with set guns is
one which should be punished to
the full extent of the law. A
man who will set a high-power
rife off in the wilderness and at
tach string to the trigger and
then go away and leave it is
worse than savage for be puts
human lives in jeopardy. A per-
son stumbling on the set line
and receiving ball through the
body must lay there until found
and several cases are recorded of
strong men being carried home,
feet first, because of the work Of
some ctiminally ignorant hunter.
1t is to be hoped that in case
this charge is proven against
this man charged with the Of
feHce that the punishment meted
out will be an object lesson.

A BIT o NOTHIN'

=. A. Stanton of Chicago, who
returned yesterday to the windy
city after a successful deer hunt,
is indeed g true philanthropist--4
in fact is endowed with an over
abundance of the milk OF human
kindness to both mankind and
beast-principallv to the latter,
some times to the former Any
how, Mr.. Stanton, with the aid
of Henry Schroeder of Merrill, A.
L. Dodge of Milwaukee and E. ].
Baikie of Ashland, endeavored to
perform the good Samaritan act
toward a trio of near-hunters
who invaded Stanton's hunting
party Friday of last week. The
trio were good fellows but mighty
queer hunters. One possessed a
.3O3 Savage. another had grand
fathers old Kentucky squirrel
rifle of the vintage Of rs, and
the last one brought up what re-
manned of the rear with an
8-guage goose gun of the pump
stvle with shells loaded with
mimic balls and buckshot. The
squad was placed under the
tutelage of Schroeder who held
them down for two davs-until
they surrounded three deer in a
small ravine and murdered the
whole bunch with the shotgun.
Schroeder, who is a chum of Phil
StadIer, turned the squad over to
Mr.. Stanton and left the next
morning for Wausau accom-
panied by his shotgun trio and
their three deer. At Wausau he
is said to have placed himself and
the bunch with the fuzees upon
exhibition at the Electric theatre.
Mr.. Stanton has abandoned
philanthropy.

Phones. Homo $50; Sunset Main $50.

SAN BERNARDINO, June IL
While walking in his sleep at an early
hour this morning, Agusta Germaine,
50 years of age, residing in West
Seventh street, had a narrow escape
from death in front of a Santa Fe
overland passenger train, which bore
down upon the aged man, who was
standing on the track unconscious of
the danger. He was dragged from the
track by three Santa Fe trainmen.
The engine crew caught sight of the
old man standing on the track but
were powerless to stop the rushing
train before reaching the spot, the
quick action of the other railroad men
only saving him from death.
The rough handling of his rescuers
awoke Germaine, and he realized the
danger that he had passed through.
"When 1 saw the headlight of the en-
gine it seemed to me like the sun
Just rising above the clouds. The
whistling of the engine 1 heard only
family"
A faithful watch dog which always
follows the old man about on his
nightly wanderings was struck by the
train and seriously hurt.
