Prepare For Old Age.

1t is a Iamentable fact that so
many young people fail to treat
aged persons according to their
deserts. Youth is prone to be so
thoughtless in this matter. Just
because some octOgenarian cannot
doff his hat or hold his fork as
gracefully as some young flop, the
former is snubbed and treated as a
social Outcast.
If young folks would only re-
member that they themselves will
reach old age some day and that
they may founder more and meet
with more mishaps than the cur
rent generation of older people,
they would be more careful in their
dealings with and remarks concern
ing their grandparents
1t is not the latters fault that
they have to be cared for and min
istered unto, and that they make so
many conventional plumbers, for
through their long years of struggle
and toll they have lost their grace
and the art of observing the fine
points of living. And yet we will
be that way when we get old.
Youths modern treatment of old
age is utterly inconsistent with the
praise and eulogy which are lavish
ed upon the dead. That is human
nature. To try to compensate for
what was neglected during the life
of the deceased by paying all sorts
of post mortem tributes. oral and
floral. Be good to your elders
while they are alive. Bear with
them, make things pleasant, SYM
pathize with them, and show them
that you are interested in and con-
cerned about their welfare. When
they are dead you can no longer
reach them with your ministrations.
Give them their flowers in deeds of
loving kindess.-Spectator.

Indians Are Wealthy.

According to figures which have
'een made public by the bureau of
indian affairs, the total value of
ands belonging to Indians is more
han $576,C00,000 and the amount
II actual cash held is more than
E62,O0000O.
The popular opinion is that the
hdians are rapidly disappearing
hce and that they will soon be-
bme extinct. Figures do not bear
, Ut this theory, and the Indian
fice statistics show that the birth
lite last year was 1874, while the
bath rate was only 31.2. The In
ans per capita wealth is approx
ately So, 100; that for other Amer
Pns is only a little more than
300.

Road To Success,

Benjamin Franklin, the great
American, when asked for the Sc
cret of success gave the following
maXims:
Eat not to fullness; drink not to
elevation.
Speak not but what may benefit
others or yourself; avoid trifiing con-
versation.
Lose no time; be always employ
ed at something useful; cut off all
unnecessary actions.
Use no hurtful deceit; think in
nocently and justly, and if you
speak, speak accordingly.
Tolerate no uncleanliness in body
cloths or habitation.
Be not disturbed at trif1es, or at
accidents common or unavoidable.
Drive thy business; let not thy
business drive thee.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes
a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
He that hath a calling hath an
office of profit and honor.
One to-day is worth two to-mor-
rows.
Buy what thou hast no need of
and ere long thou shalt sell thy
necessaries.-Ex.

N. W. u. is in Association

Invitations are to be sent out short
ly by Coach Mark Catlin of the Law
renee college teams, to all of the col
leges which are members Of the In
tercollegiate Atheletic association as
sociation of Wisconsin asking them
to participate in the biggest athletic
meet ever held in Wisconsin among
minor colleges. 1t is proposed to hold
the event on Lawrence field, where
extensive improvements will be made
in the spring in addition to the
stands which were erected last fall.
The schools to be invited include
Beloit Ripon, Carroll and Northwest
ern in addition to Lawrence college.
1t is Catlin's plan to pull the events
off the same as the big conference
meet is held at Chicago. Medals will
be offered the winners of each event,
in addition to trophies for the high
est point winners. Having partici-
patel in so many of the conferences
himself while he was Chicago's crack
hurdler and later having pulled off
these contests while he was coaching
at the University of Iowa, Catlin has
no fear but what he can make a sue
cess out of the meet.
That Ripon and Lawrence have
buried the hatchet there appears no
doubt They have two games of bas-
ketball scheduled for this winter and
in addition to that Ripon has asked
for an indoor track meet.

People Are Rebelling

The boycott Of meat and butter is be-
coming general all over the country.
Thousands of-people are pledging them
selves to use neither SO long as the trusts
demand extortionate prices for the two
articles of food. 1t is probably the best
way to teach the trusts to lower prices
if they would continue to do business.
1t will no doubt be hard on local dealers
who are forced to pay high prices and
make small, very small, profit as COM
pared with that made by the packers and
spectators. Should worse come to
worse, they can SELL at cost and then re-
fuse to order more until the price is
reasonable. and thus teach the trusts a
lesson If the farmer was being bene-
fitted by the high prices, it might te
different, but he sells his product for
what the trust see fit to pay him, the
price being fixed by combines which are
becoming enormously rich by robbing
both farmer and consumer.

Annual Meeting and Election

The annual meeting of the Congre-
gational church last evening was well
attended despite the unfavorable
weather conditions. The financial re-
port showed the funds to be in salts
factory condition, considering that the
outlay during the past year was in
excess of $4,000. A small deficit in
the annual running expenses was easi-
ly raised. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
Deacons-R Achtenhagen, John
Chapman, Eugene Goeldner.
Clerk-A A Hardie.
Financial Secretary-A. ID. Platz.
Treasurer-Miss Marie Mentink
Trustees-W C. Stone, E. A. Pratt,
E. w. Schultz, w. P. Roseman, r.
Achtenhagen, F. E. Woodard, J. W.

A vote of thanks was rendered to
Mr.. Platz for his management of the
finances. Donations from Mrs. Sarah
Boynton of New York, the wife of a
former pastor, and from Mr.. Charles
Pfister of Milwaukee were gratefully
acknowledged. The latter donation
came largely as an expression Of
friendship for the late Hon. Jesse

County. Jail Record

Seventy-fOur prisoners were COM
mitted to the Jefferson county Jail
during 1909, according to the books
of Sheriff G. A. Shower. During the
two previous years 1856 were commit
ted. We doubt if another county In
the state the size of this county can
make an equally good showing. The
figures show an awful difference be-
tween the salaried sheriff and con-
tract of board and the old fee system.
Under the fee system during the win
ter months as high as SO prisoners
were confined at one time.
The record of the Jail the past year
has been most satisfactory from the
point of the public, there being good
control, excellent conditions about the
jail and nothing to resemble an escape
from custody,
OF the seventy-four persons handled
the record OF different towns was as
follows:
From Watertown "a.
From Fort Atkinson Is.
From Waterloo 8.
From Lake Mills Z.
From Jefferson 6.
From Palmyra L.
The number of persons committed
to state institutions is as follows:
Waupun penitentiary 3.
Waukesha industrial 2.
Milwaukee industrial Jefferson

A Story From LIE

little incident reported from Nor
rill, Kansas, and reprinted by us from
the Commoner tells story that will be
appreciated by every teacher of expe-
rience. 1t is as follows:
''He was the worst boy in school; she
was the teacher. She was angered by
his stubbOrnness; he was defiant. She
took him to the hall for punishment.
AngriIy she administered the penalty
and-then somehow great wave of pity
for the boy swept over her. She looked
at the worn coat of the little fellow; she
thought of the frail body deprived of
nOurishing food; she thought of the hard
and lOveless home and of the starved
soul of the poor kid. Tears sprang to
the teachers eyes as the boy waited for
further punishment. Then he saw the
tears. His own eyes grew moist and
overfiowed. Thinking of how the poo<.
boy had no chance, in an impulse Of love
she put her arms around the boy and
they cried together. That is religion.
She and the boy both found it."

All Should Attend

The -EpwoIth League of the First
Methodist church has decided on new
venture in church entertainments. On
Thursday evening, February 8, 10, there
will he firstclass entertainment for the
nominal entrance fee Of 10 cents. Miss
Nina Hall of the Lawrence School Of Ex-
preston, will give an evening on "The
Dawn of Tomorrow Concerning this
entertainment Prof. earns says: 1T is
the best story evening know of, having
the most powerful dramatic elements
and the strongest religious appeal. Miss
Hall has caught the very essence OF its
spirit and will hold her audience SPELL
bound"
The aim of the league in putting the
admission price so low is to furnish
those of most limited means an incen-
tive to enjoy wholesome entertainment.

Think on These Things

The deviltry in this city is mostly
committed after II p. m. at stall sa-
looms and other hell-holes. Many a
young girl took her first downward step
after that hour in q stall saloon. The
question may be asked: Where were
their parents? But when 1t is uGder-
stood that many parents care less for
their children than they do for their
pigs, the question is answered. All sa
looms should be closed in accordance
with the provisions of the state law and
those who refused to obey the law are
lawless, and the time will come ere long
when an aroused public sentiment will
see that the law is enforced. A strong
sentiment is growing in this community,
not against the saloon, but against the
manner with which the laws are vio-
lated. As has been said in previous
article, if the local liquor dealers 1880
citation would insist on the enforcement
OF the law, it would tend to disarm op-
position.

A Cut and Raise

A cut and raise in salary, is what en-
fronts George Nichols, the shoe Sd es-
man, who resides in this city and who
is one of the most popular and success
ful OF the road. It all comes about he
cause Of placing hides on the free list
which has increased the price of foot
wear and cuts the pay of statesmen on
certain lines of goods, as strange as it
may appear. 1t is evident that the hide
trust is buying up all the hides import
ed into this country and making an i'm
mense profit out Of the people who can
not go barefooted, especially in the win
ter. 1t is reported, that the trust pays
from s to cents pound for hides End
hold up the tanners for Is cents, rea-
sOnable profit? This is not case in
which the tariff does not increase the
price of the commodity, it being simply
a trust steal. There ought to be some
way to protect the people against such
cOnsciepceleSs thieves.

Mayors Can Post Men

In an article in the Madison Demo-
crat it is stated that the district at
torney moved to dismiss a case in
court where the defendant had been
convicted in a lower court of selling
liquor to a posted person, on the
ground that the mayor has no author
ity to post a person under chapter
1854 of the statutes.
The fact of the matter is the mayor
has such right, as the chapter in ques-
ton was amended by chapter 33l OF
the laws of 1863, which provides that
a person may be posted by the man S
wife, a supervisor, aldermen, trustees
of villages, superintendent OF the poor,
mayor OF any city, chairman OF the
county board of supervisors and dis
trict attorney. The section is plain
and concise.

BEGAN and His Female Rat

A number OF years ago, when Mr.. Be-
gan was in the grocery business. at the
corner OF West Main and Washington
streets, he was greatly bothered with
rats, which were constant source OF an
nOyance and loss. He secured large
number OF rat traps and succeeded in
diminishing the rodent population with
the exception of knowing female rst
who was too wise to get tangled in a
trap and thus came to an untimely end.
He then got shot gun which he loaded
with fine shot and laid it On the counter
with the intention of putting an end to
his rodent friend when she should put
in an appearance. One night, an old
veteran who had boasted Of his remark
able craftsmanship was in the store
when The rat made her appearance as
cheerful as day in June. Mr.. Began
told the old veteran to shoot Mrs. Rat.
He grabbed the gun and blazed away.
the charge went into the ceiling, nearly
killing Mrs. B. who was up stairs, and
the rat ran away singing: Shall we
meet again?" He then procured cat
and to his surprise and dismay the feline
and rodent became the best OF friends
and would play by the hour If not dis
turbed. About this time Mr.. B. received
a barrel Of fruit jars which he piled up
in the form of pyramid in order to at
tract the attention of the good house
wives who intended to preserve fruit.
The fruit jars were in the center Of the
store. Placing several sheets of fly paper
in the front window order to catch and
reduce the flies which were bothersOme.
One day, the cat who was asleep in the
sun in the front window in stretching
out got her tail onto the fly psper and
then there was circus. In her eff"rts
to free herself she knocked down the
fruit jars breaking all but four, much to
MIR. B. disgust who. it is said, used Ian
guage not found in Sunday school books.
A few tnights after which Mr.. Began sat
reading in the store the rat made her
appearance to keep him company and
picking scale weight he threw it and
killed the poor rat-and thus ends the
rat story.
