faithful to their trust, Dick in parti-

very uhsayory reputation. The Trim
ity discover the facts by accident and
try by every means in their power to

and in a fit of anger leaves Dicks
house for good. Terribly hurt and
almost broken-hearted, remembering
his promise to the boys father and
from love of the boy, Dick buys the
woman off and she in turn repudiates
the Imp who brought to a sense of
his foolshness and ingratitude, comes
back and is received into the fold
with open arms.

GIBSON HISTORY RELATED.

At the training school rooms last
Friday evening the last meeting Of the
historical society until fall was held.
The subject of the evening was the
early history of the town of Gibson.
Papers were read by DR.. Floyd West
gate and A. p. Schenian. The former
related the early history of the town,
gathered from original documents,
statements of settlers and other sourc-
es. 1t contained valuable historical
data and evidenced considerable labor
and research. The first authentic re-
cord of visit by whites was an account
of the temporary stay of french fur
trader in 1875. The town was named
by Darius Pech, still living at Two
Rivers, in honor of his old home in
Penn sylvania. The school, church,
political and industrial history of the
town was sketched.
Judge Schenian's pape recounted the
part taken in the development of the
town by the Bohemian immigrants. a
pleasant surprise of the meeting wasan
impromptu recital of early experience
es by Edward Zander, ST., aged 50, who
settled in the town in the very early
days. His account of the hardships of
early pioneer days was graphic and
extremely interesting. He landed in
New York possessed of two dollars.
Saving 5000 at Milwaukee he walked
to Mishicot and purchased land in Glib
son for 30 cents an acre.
The season of the society just closed
has been very successful, due entirely
to the enthusiasm of historical zealots
such as Judge Baensch, DR.. Falge and
Ralph Plumb.
