 Christmas presents are sometimes belated, but one of our youngest residents recently received not only a belated gift, but one which had passed through novel experience be- fore arriving at it's destination. A lady in Somers wished to send Q pre- sent to her little friend in Union. It was too bulky to send by mail, so she decided to send it by the cream team. The day was stormy, and the driver carefully deposited the precious bundle in one of his empty cream barrels If it was during the recent blizzard he might almost have been pardoned for seeking the same shelter for himself). Home was safely reached, bat, in the joy of regaining the warmth of his own flreside, he forgot all about the package that had been intrusted to hia care. Later, in the dusk of an early morning, his un- brother proceeded, accord ing to custom, to store away the pro- duct of his dairy, and as luck would have it, poured the precious cream into the barrel that was already oc- Cupied. Possibly a few little Ger manic ejaoulations escaped when the situation was understood. At any rate, when he extricated the dripping he was able, no doubt, to appreciate the whole cream of the joke. Our friends troubles did not snd here. Although he was perfectly willing to act as Santa Claus, the im- promptu bath had slightly dimmed the clearness of the address and, with possibly little unfamiliarity with English, there was now an uncertainty about the intended destination of the package. After some delay this 1ificulty was happily overcome. The anxious but innocent Santa watched eagerly while the cream encrusted were withdrawn. and gave } deep sigh of relief when baby's 1uilt was disclosed, as bright and red As 2 freshly picked straw berry, with never a drop of cream upon 1t.

BY Mrs. Clarissa Crouch of Portage.
We, the mothers, wives, sisters and
daughter of soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, and other loyal women have
formed ourselves into a permanent or
ganization to assist the union veter-
ans and their dependent ones. Why
should We do this? will tell you lest
you forget. Because we, and every
man, woman and child owe them q
debt OF gratitude. If they had not
stood up like men to resist the seces-
sion Of the south we today would be
broken into warning sections, each
one obliged to keep a standing army
to protect themselves from the other
sections. There would be now no Sc
curity of life or property and no ma
tional improvements as railroads or
deep water navigation, All the coun-
try would be in state of unrest and
turmOil-the south the worst of all
as they fought to retain slavery and
would have to keep an army to keep
their slaves and prevent them from
rising against them. But this is not
the the worst feature there would
have been of the situation. There
would have been no section strong or

FOND Du LAC.

A very large audience attended the
patriotic entertainment given at Fond
du Lac, under the auspices of the
Woman's Relief corps. The event
was in celebration of Lincolns birth.
day anniversary. Pupils of the public
schools gave several recitations and
sang number OF songs. The high
school orchestra also rendered sever
al selections. Captain J. Lee Knight
read paper, telling first of his per-
sonal experience in grasping the hand
of Lincoln when Lincoln was presi.
dent. The superintendent of city
schools, Professor James, told of the
things Lincoln had to contend with
poverty, ignorance and hardships.
He said in part: THE fact that Lin
coin was raised amid poverty and ig-
norance was not, as many people may
suppose, one of the factors which led
him to be great man. If such were
the case great men would come from
the slums of our large cities. We
can derive great lesson from the
life and career of Lincoln. His fight
and struggle for the maintenance OF
the union during the civil war was
worthy of note. A leader of his kind
is needed today, as it was then, in
unfolding things that are right. At
the Gettysburg dedication, Everett,
the great orator spoke two hours, and
Lincoln but few minutes. How
many ever read the Everett speech?

tongue. 1t is engraved on bronze

fort made abroad, notably in Ger
many, to teach speech to the deaf.
The endeavor spread on the continent,
and despite the prevailing conviction
that deafness connotes dumbness,
it was proved that the deaf could
be taught to speak. The tongue OF
the dumb was Embossed. For some
time the speech-teaching efforts were
confined to those of school age and
over. The thought of taking the deaf

If we had let the south go, it would
have been precedent and all Sec
tions of the union would have had the
same right.
The south had long contemplated
the step they took. There were trait
ors in the cabinet and courts. The
money in the treasury was sent to the
subtreasury in the south. The vessels
of the navy were sent as far away as
possible and all the resources of the
north crippled. They had for COM
mander-in-chief of their forces a man
who was educated by nation and
had sworn to be true to the United
States. He perjured himself and be-
came a traitor. The south had the
greatest contempt for the northern
soldiers. They called them Mudsills
and thought they would not fight
They found them men. They fought it
out and conquered at such a cost as
no nation, believe, ever paid. When
those who liveu through came, worn
with the hardships they had endured,
they found their places filled and they
had to do what they could at least

health. There were but few that made
success financially They had lost
the best year of their lives and could
not make it up.
The Relief corps tries to brighten
the lives of our heroes. some of whom
are adopted citizens and some of
native birth. They were all alike in
the noble work Of saving our nation,
so that today we rank with the first
nations of the earth. There are but
few of the mothers, wives and sisters
left, but the loyal women are doing
noble work Let every one as they go
to their quiet homes at night without
fear and alarm, remember they owe
their safety and the security of their
property to the union veterans work

The local corps, Rousseau No. 9,
has been organized since 1883 and is
still working and doing all it can to
brighten the past years of our boys.
The people of Portage have helped
them in the past and why should they
not? 1t is their debt of gratitude as
well as ours.
