work in this county is unique in Wis
consin from the fact that the whole
work is done by the county forces with
county owned machinery. The county
now owns three very complete road
building outfits and has developed a
trained force of employees with each
outfit, who build the roads in accord
ance with the best modern ideas. All
roads are surveyed and planned by the
state highway department before con-
struction is undertaken. Last year a
total of five miles of road was built in
eight towns; during 1910 about ten
miles will be built in fifteen towns, and
during 1911 the demand is for even
more construction.
The work in Sank county is an ex-
ample of the fact that the farmers will
willingly pay for road improvement if
they see results for their money. The
system in Sank county is an excellent
example for other counties in the state
which are desirious of getting the best
possible results from the expenditure
of county road funds.

A BATHLESS AGE.
For a Thousand Years the People Of
Europe Went Unwashed.

FOR thousand Years the People Of
Europe Went Unwashed.
When Egypt, Greece and Rome were
at the height of their ancient power
their citizens made bathing a social
function, municipal duty and a re-
ngious observance. The public baths
of these nations were magnificent ar
chitecturally and important as centers
of hygienic and municipal sentiment.
With the decadence of these coun-
tries the world seems to have reverted
to a period Of mental sloth and physi-
cal uncleanliness. AS an authority on
the matter puts it:
For 1000 years there was not a
man or woman in Europe that ever
took bath. if the historian of these
times, Michelet. is to be believed The
ancient love Of the bath seemed to
have disappeared from off the land.
'"There was no Greece or Rome to
hold up the ensign of cleanliness to
the nations of Europe. Small wonder
that the people of the continent be-
came physical decadents, as indeed
they were in spite of tradition to the
contrary.
1T is not strange that there came
the awful epidemics that cut off one
fourth of the population of Europe
the spotted plague. the black death,
the sweating sickness and the terrible
mental epidemics that followed in their
traln-the dancing mania. the mewing
mania and the biting mania
1.-THE bath was banished and filth
was almost deitied. Indeed, it was
then thought that the sanctification Of
the body was only accomplished when
that body was indescribably dirty

A WEIRD INCIDENT.
Chopin's Funeral March Was Inspired
by a Skeleton.


Late one summers afternoon, said
Ziem, Chopin and l sat talking in nv
studio. In one corner of the room
stood piano and in another the COM
plete skeleton of a man with a large
white cloth thrown. ghostlike. about it.
noticed that now and again Chopin's
gaze would wander, and from nv
knowledge of the man / knew that his
thoughts were far away from me and
his surroundings. More than that. I
knew that he was composing.
Presently he rose from his seat with
out word. walked over to the skele-
ton and removed the cloth He then
carried it to the piano and, seating
himself, took the hideous object upon
his knees-a strange picture of life and
death.
Then, drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton, he laid the
latter's fingers over his own and began
to play. There was no hesitation in
the slow. measured flow of sound
which he and the skeleton conjured
up. AS the music sswelled in a louder
strain closed my eyes, for there was
something weird in that picture Of
man and skeleton seated at the piano,
with the shadows Of evening deepen
ing around them and the ever swelling
and ever softening music filling the air
with mystery. And l knew 1 was lis
tening to composition which would
live forever.
The music ceased, and when looked
up the piano chair was empty, and on
the floor lay Chopin's unconscious
form, and beside him. smashed all to
pieces, was the skeleton l priced so
much. The great composer had swoon-
ed, but his march was found.

County Aid for Roads in Sank
County.

The county aid idea in road construc-
ton was adopted in Sank county in the
fall of 1908 and county highway

Several towns in the county, notably
the town of Baraboo, had previously
done good work in the building of
macadam roads, but the greater part of
the towns had done very little along the
lines of hard road. construction.

POLICE OF GERMANY.
Privacy of the Home No Bar to Their
Farreaching Authority.

Privacy of the Home No Bar to Their
Farreaching Authority.
To foreigner no feature of German
life is more striking than the promi-
nence and almost unlimited authority
Of the police. Many of it's functions
are such as in the United States would
be intrusted only to a court of law.
What seems almost equally strange,
the greater part of these functions are
exercised quite independently of the
local government.
The minuteneSs and thoroughness of
the work of the German police are a
constant surprise to the foreigner. The
policeman not only preserves order in
the streets. but exercises a farreach-
ing authority in private houses For
instance, he undertakes the nightly
locking of ones street door at a suffi-
GENTLY early hour He sees that one
has his chimney regularly cleaned. He

and heating apparatus. and while he

One feature of his activity strikes a
good many American visitors with ia
vor. In some places singing and piano
playing with open windows are for
hidden. and it is a common house reg
ulation in large towns that no pianos
may be played after 10 o'clock in the
evening. The German policeman is
also something of food inspector in
his way. and he keeps a sharp eye on
vendors of food and of medicines. 1t
is not an uncommon sight to see Ger
man policeman halt a milkman's wag-
on and on the spot make an inspection
of his wares. Should there prove to
be anything wrong with them they
are promptly seized and destroyed and
the matter is Immediately taken in
hand by the higher authorities.-New

FRANKS OF CUPID.
Celebrated Men Who Married Their
Domestic Servants

Domestic Servants.
Many celebrated men have married
their domestic servants. Sir Henry
Parkes, premier of New South Wales,
is an example. One night when dining
at friends house he was struck by
the appearance of a servant girl who
waited upon the table and persuaded
his host to allow her to enter his en-
ploy. This she did and for a short
time held the position of cook in Sir
Henry's household. Then he made her
Lady Parkes.
But more illustrious than this is the
case of Peter the Great. One day he
was dining at the house OF Prince Men
shikOff. He noticed one of the servant
maids particularly, and. though she
was not handsome, she caught his fan
cy. Her name, the prince told the
car. was Martha. She had been a
servant in the house Of Lutheran
minister of Marienburg. and when that
city was captured by the troops of
ASoSo4o SAC Dctu Idkeu DEISOueE
by General Bauer. who had passed
her over to the prince, whose servant
she was. The count politely made a
present of her to the car, who even
tually married her.
William Cobbett. the great writer,
when he was only twenty-one years of
age. one morning CHANGED to see a bux-
ON servant girl busily engaged in
washing the family linen. The girl
was pretty, so Cobbett spoke to her,
learned her name and the same even
ing called upon her parents and said
he would like to marry their daughter.
The parents of the girl informed the
young man that they had no objec-
lions to him as their son-in-law, but
that he would have to wait until their
daughter was of a manageable age.
Five years later Cobbett, true to his
early love. married her.

often applied to Chatham island, one
of the Galapagos. 1t is in the Pacific
ocean. about 73O miles west of the
coast Of Ecuador. 1t is overrun with
black cats, and cats of no other color
are seen there. These animals live in
the crevices of the lava foundation

fish and crabs instead of rats and mice.
Other animals found on this island are
