HAYWARD. WIS, Nov. 2S.-John
Deitz isn't the only outlaw In Saw
yer county.
It's easy to determine that be-
yond peradventure: There's no
question about It at all.
These other outlaws of Sawyer
county may not be technically and
officially outlaws, as is John Deitz;
certainly they are not admittedly
outlaws, as Is he. Nevertheless the
bold fact remains that they ARE
outlaws.
For those men are not all dead
yet who made a milk COW of Saw
yer county. who bankrupted the
county treasury while they stripped
Sawyer county OF its timber, who
made county politics byword and
carried grating to the limit OF
crudity and unblushing frankness
in operation.
The men are not yet dead who
were won't to herd Ghippewas to
the polls, each Indian with piece
of money In one hand and ticket
In the other. There are men in

And Miss Aicott Was at the Other End

1t seems an awful thing, but here Is
the circumstance on record that Louisa
M. Alcott, the safnted author Of Little
Women" once publicly fiirted with Ed
ward VII. The-fac comes out in Mrs.
Belle Moses book, Louisa May Al
colt, Dreamer and Worker" There Is
a passage in the book which contains
Miss Alcott's personal account Of the
incident. 1t refers to the time when
the late king, then Prince of Wales,
made his famous visit to this country.
II went to Boston," Miss Alcott re-
lates. "and | saw the Prince Of Wales
trot over the common with bis train at
review-a yellow haired laddie, very
like his mother. Fanny w. and nod
ded and waved as he passed and he
openly winked his boyish eye at us,
for Fanny with her yellow curls and
wild waving looked rather rowdy, and
the poor little prince wanted some fun.
We laughed and thought that we had
been more distinguished by the saucy
wink than by a stately bow. Boys are
always jolly-even princes"
By the way, this incident occurred
in 1860, when the Prince of Wales was
nineteen years old and consequently
quite broth of boy, and when Miss

WHARF Ears Grow sharp.

A French balloonist has recorded the
clearness with which sounds coming
from the surface of the ground can be
heard at high altitude. at the
height of 5000 feet the ringing Of
horses hoofs on a hard road was
clearly audible. At 4,0O0 feet the
splashing sound made by ducks In q
pond was heard. The barking OF dogs
and the Growing Of cocks could be
heard at seven or eight thousand feet.
These sounds penetrated through q
white floor Of cloud that hid the earth
frcm sight, says Harper's Weekly. In
the perfect silence Of the air the In
vestigator was startled by what seem
ed stealthy footsteps close at hand. i
was ascertained that this noise was
caused by the stretching Of the ropes
