NOT Guilty.

The News Item of Amigo, publishes
an article in its issue of December
3lst, relative to second class matter
and credits the same to the Wausau
PILOT. About the only thing to which
we seriously object is the following
paragraph:
"Now we hope our Merrill friend
(meaning Chris. Johnson will not fly
off the handle and set us down as an
outside "knocker," one who would
like post office but don't happen to
be in a position to get it. Once,
through the kindness of Congressman
McCord and President Harrison, we
had the privilege of writing ''P. NJ
after our name. We liked the job
first rate; would like to have held it
four years longer, and probably would
have done SO but for the fact that
the unfeeling and inconsiderate Dem
ocrats turned us out"

of the PILOT editor having held the
office of postmaster through the
kindness of Congressman McCord and

Not Perfect. But Try to Be.

1t may be safely said that no men
are more painfully and constantly con-
scious of the imperfections and short
comings of our newspapers than those
who are engaged every day in the
task of their fabrication, and yet it
must be said to their credit that none
are more conscious of their RESPONSE
bility to the public and none more
constantly on the alert to verify every
detail of the news they set before
the public or more conscientious in
their purpose to interpret accurately
and fairly the events that demand
critical attention. Newspapers are
imperfect, and doubtless the Marian
press could teach the best of Ameri-
can newspapers very much that would
be well worth the knowing, but the
Times does not believe that ever in
the history of civilization was the
great body of the press acutated by
higher purpose than now or inspired
by a more general determination to
tell the truth and to interpret accord
ing to its best intelligence the sig
nificance of passing events-Brooklyn

LlFE-SAvlNG DOGS IN WEST.
ST. Bernards of Alpine Stock Which
Have Made Records in the
Rocky Mountains.

Few people are aware of the fact
that there are number of ST. Ber-
nard dogs of Alpine stock in the
Rocky mountains which have enviable
records as life-savers. Prof. E. c. Lin
demann writes most entertainingly
about one of these dogs, in the Su-
Durham Life He says: 'Leo's affec-
ton for children seemed to be pas
sion. At one time. he broke down a
fence when he heard the cries of
small boy who was receiving castiga-
ton. at the hands of his mother, and
put stop to the proceedings. He had
been very attentive to this little boy
when he was i'll with typhoid fever
and lived in tent in our garden on
the recommendation of his physician.
Leo never forgave the mother for her
chastisement of the boy, and as a con-
sequence of his obvious dislike, the
parents finally moved out of the
house. 1t was Leo's daily habit to
conduct number of children to the
school house in the mountains, and
go after them, without being COM
manded to do so, when it was time
for the session to close"

A man stood on lower Broadway
corner with box of good luck rings,
They were horseshoe nails made into
rings. 1t was amazing the number of
people who went UP and bought these
rings of the man, fitting them care
fully on their fingers, paying for them,
walking off with them, turning them
this way and that to admire them,
though their price was only a nickel.
do you make your living selling
them?" asked a woman who bought a
very fetching one for her third
finger.
Yes, madam, said he
There must be a lot of supersti-
tious people in New York" said she,

Diocese Defined.

When Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, bishop
of central Pennsylvania, was in Lon
don not long ago his fame as the
cowboy bishop" brought thousands
of young boys and girls to hear him
sp,,ak wherever he went. In one of
his talks to the youngsters, he held
them speilbound by telling them of
his diocese in Wyoming, which was
more hickly populated in the old days
with bears and Indians than with
Christians
When he had finished with his de-
scription he asked the English chill
dren if any one knew what diocese
was. One of them promptly raised
his hand.
What is it, my lad?"
"A diocese, my lord, is body of
land with bishop on top and the
clergy underneath, was the answer.

JOIN IT.
A dispatch from Washington, D. {

n oispaCcil from washington, ID. g..
dated Dec. 3, says:
plans for a national boycott of those
combinations that increase the cost
OF living were laid here Thursday
night when the National Antitrust
league was launched. Members of
Congress are interested in the new
movement, and immediate steps will
be taken toward perfecting state or
CARNATIONS. Then, when prices soar,
the league members by stopping the
use OF such articles or commodities
as have gone above legal level will
put them back again by refusing to
furnish market. The plan is one
that was tried in Germany few
years ago and which, according to a
report, broke up a combine in coffee
that had raised the price of the bean
to almost prohibitive prices
Why not join the league? A move
ment should be made at once. in per-
fecting a Wisconsin utilization of the
federal organization. 1t is matter
of dollars and cents to everyone. e.
most everyone. The trusts from the
United States Steel company down to
the smaller fry of course will oppose
the movement, but the trusts oppo-
sition can be sat down upon by or
ganized movement. The move made
as covered by the above dispatch car
ries with it more than appears on the
face of it. But suppose some of the
trusts get busy and serve an injunc-
tion on the plain peeppul, restraining
them from joining the boycott move
ment? They control the depart
ments of government and judiciary,
and can do so and doubtless will do
so if the above movement is carried
into effect. But recent statements
of Federal Forester Clifford Pinchot
and our own General Il. S. Bragg are
to the effect that something is TO-
menting in this country something
which may work evil to the trusts.
To man up tree it appears that
there is something wrong with pres
ent prices of the commodities of liy-
ing. Every leading newspaper in the
country is taking up the matter, but
the work of the special committee of
congress will amount to nal. Butter
is selling for 40c per pound in Wau-
sau at present everything else is in
proportion. The federal laws place a
tax on oleomargarine, amounting TO
14c on the colored article, and a
lesser amount on the uncolored pro-
duct, and yet no restriction is placed
on the coloring of butter or any limi-
tation placed on the price of the lat
ter. This is class legislation with
vengeance. This is but one instance.
Even the Irvine trust has raised prices
SO we can hardly afford to sew up our
mouths and refrain from eat
ing. Isn't it about time that voters
be getting busy and instruct their
congressman to vote for remedial
legislation? There is spirit of I'M
rest which leads Us to believe that
something will be done.

A Woman onion Grower.

You may have heard how the Rio
Grande country has put the Bermuda
onion growers out of business" said
Capt George H. Darter OF Laredo.
Tex. Our most successful grower.
by the way, Is lady, Mrs. E. c. Dodd,
who lives in my town. She cultivated
135 acres this season and made a net
profit on her onion crop of a little
over $4,000 To make land bring a
gain of $500 an acre is something few
men have the ability to do, and yet
this lady does not seem TO regard her
feat as emitting her to any great
praise
Mrs. Dodd looks after every detail
of her farm in person. Raising onions
Is no child's play; It involves hard
work and great expense in our sec
ton, where irrigation is necessary. Il
is the intention of Mrs. Dodd to plant
on a still bigger scale as she gradu-
ally brings more Of her land under

Hail and Farewell.

Sellers will get what they can and
buyers will get it for as little as they
can. Well, then what's the use of so
much fuss about it? Just because
we will not be content to spend all
of our time in bargain hunting.
Someone will find way to get an adj
vantage over all others, and so the
fuss begins. Why, it is reported that
very recently, a gas producer engine,
using any kind of coal, from low
grade screenings, has been invented
and put in daily use, developing $50
horse power, and making complete
success in heavy structural iron
manufacturing. And yet, quoting
The Iron Trade ReUieaC, of the 1Othinst.
Washington, d. c., we learn the fol-
lowing: "Two matters promising to
engage no small part of the attention
of Congress, during the session. re-
late to the maximum and minimu N
tariff, and the plans made by Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Knox for
perfecting reorganization of those
branches of the administrative SER
vice that have to do with foreign
trade"
Our president and congress, backed
up by the genius and industry of the
people, will take care of things, who's
afraid; for the same paper further
publishes the following,-'It is now
definitely settled that there will be
an advance of 30 cents a ton on Besse-
mer ores; in fact that some sales have
already been made at these figures
reservations of considerable tonages
of non-Bessemer ore have also been
made" When the tariff on ore was
knocked clear down, last session,
many were scared that our pro-
duct would sink out of sight in this
country, but instead of that, up goes
our prices, and the goose hangs alte-
tudinum. 1t would almost seem that
the more mischief the tariff tinkerers
try to 90, the better it is for our
trade and commerce "'Hail Column

HOW TO CARE
FOR SILVERWARE

Silver is a beautiful and durable
ware, whether solid or plated. but its
continued beauty depends upon the
care given IL by its owner
First. II must be washed carefully
Immediately after using. No plate
powder will remove scratches caused
by careless mixture OF the different
pieces. 1t is Of great Importance to
wash the pieces separately in soap
and hot water, rinsing them in hot
water, and polish with fine soft linen
towel. When treated in this way
consistently, plate requires very lit
tle use OF powder.
Many of the silver polishes" on
the market are mercurial in nature
and act quickly in cleansing and
polishing but the silver furnishes
quickly after their use. Gas black

An old cleansing process is the

Wrinkles are caused by tired

This advice is directed to girls and

would tire her muscles.
She must not let her heart clutch
