REST At GISH0LT HOME
Advantages of Old Folks Re sreat al
Madison Not Fully Appreci
ated by People.

Madison.-Six persons soon will
be enjoying the comforts Of the Gis-
holt home for old folks-the late
John A Johnson's benefaction six
miles east Of Madison, and they have
comforts and conveniences such as
none of them perhaps ever had be-
fore-a new fireproof habitation, a
glorious farm over which to ramble,
a wondrous view of Madison and it's
lakes, no restraint, and a kindly rela-
tionship with those in charge.
All these advantages are open to
any elderly individual who deposits
$1,000 at the home, the proceeds of
which help to defray expenses.
The home has accommodations for
about twenty persons, and inquiries
are being received from various parts
of the state. 1t is incredible that it's
superior privileges can exist long
without all it's accommodations be-
ing taken, and an anxious waiting
list be formed. 1t is available alike
to women and men,

WANTED SATAN SENT NORTH
Good Example of Scottish humor in
Remark Made by Railroad
Porter.

scottish humor is dry rather than
oolsterous, and / always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
SalVatlon Army captain" To catch
the nang Of little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on &C
count OF a slight mishap a mile OF two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with a Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out OF the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.
Aye, aye" unused Andra, after Civ
ing the desired information, "yell be
for Aberdeen, I'm thinkin'?"
Yes. my man." was the reply;
I'm bound for Aberdeen-a very
wicked place, I'm told!'
What MIGHT We be goin' to dae
there, sir, If it's as bad as a that?''
asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah," was the pious answer, 'I'm
going to drive the devil out of Aber
deem"
Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retort:-
See an drive him north, chiel;
baud him well to the north!"-Ex

La Crosse.-Circuit Court Judgs
r. c. Higbee announced that he would

importing a judge, one from the
Milwaukee circuit will in all prob
ability be chosen.

side OF the little homestead telling
timber, and told that their daughter,
Myrs. DietZ, is about to be removed
from the Ashland hospital to. the
county Jail, John Dietz and Mrs.
Dietg declare they are the victims
of ulwarranted persecution.
Sheriff Madden, in behalf of Saw
yer county, notified his prisoner that
the county would no longer guard
his homestead or care for the stock.
The sheriff gave the notice on his
own responsibility, declaring that the
expense of keeping two men on the
homestead was an unnecessary one.
John DietZ also was notified that
judge Wickham of Eau Claire, who
was expected to admit him to bail,
is III La Crosse and bail can not be
secured for Dietz until the court re-
turns Dietz was further notified
that in case Judge Wickham admitted
him to bail he again will be re-
arrested and confronted with the
Horel shooting charge which, in turn

indictments against him.

Looking After the Equs.

Lady Betty, who is 4 years old and
never misses a trick, was taken the
other evening to a restaurant for her
supper, and with all the Importance
and sprightly dignity Of her years
calmly ordered poached eggs on toast.
While the little family group was
awaiting it's service the "kiddie"
amused herself by looking out of the
window, pressing against a screen to
get a closer view Of something below
She was warned by her mother that
the screen might give way and let her
fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring
her terribly. She drew away, thought
q minute. and then said naively:
Would fall if the screen went out?'
You certainly would" was her moth
er's reply. And would J get awful
hurted?" VERY likely" Then what
would the man do with the eggs?"

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead Of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
Il had drank coffee for about twen-
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart l was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
eft, hid kidney trouble and constipa-
ton.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then I became less respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof of renewed physical and
mental strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. / formerly
did mental work and had to give 1t up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum I am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"

R|PON SETS MARK
FOR GYMNAS|UMS
STRUCTURE RECENTLY OPENED
OFFERS MANY UNUSUAL
ADVANTAGES.
EARTH OR WOODEN FLOOR
Suitable for All as Outdoor Athletics "
Under Cover-Two Large Wings
VIII Be Annexed Early in the
Spring.

Ripon.--Work ON the central struc-
ture Of the new $4,000 Ripon col
lege gymnasium is finished and stu
dents now are making use of the
building. The two large wings, each
a full equipped gymnasium in itself,
will be built early in the spring.
Director of Athletics f. O. Stiehm
has been making use Of the dirt floor
of the main structure for the last
month, working the football squad
there when the weather prohibited
the use of Ingalls, field.
The Ripon gymnasium is one of
the most advanced in gymnasium ar
chitecture, and entirely different from
any other such structure in the coun-
try. The central structure, equipped
with running track, built along mod
ern speed lines, has Mother Earth for
the floor. A removable wooden floor
is being constructed which can be in
stalled for basketball games when Wis
1ting teams protest against playing on
dirt. This main section has shower
baths and gallery, and can be used
as an auditorium for college events.
1t is in the wings that the most
novel part of the structure will ap-
pear. The first floor Of the mems sec
ton. on the north end, will be equip
ped for college club rooms, with loung-
ing room and reception room. The
directors office will be on this floor.
On the second floor q full equipped
gymnasium will be installed. The
woman's section ON the south end will
be somewhat similar, having club
rooms for the women and upper floor
gymnasium.
Each of the wings Will be 90 by 80
feet. The central building is 129 feet
by 50 feet, making the structure com
plete 229 feet long. The indoor in
field can be used for baseball, basket
ball, tennis, track or any of the in
door or outdoor sports.
The gymnasium was formally opened
by college party, in which the men
were entertained by the goods. The
gymnasium was decorated with pen
nants and lined with booths. The
next morning the track men were at
work indoors using running shoes of
the outdoor type, with long spikes; the
tennis players had a net up in the
center and were playing tennis, and
in the afternoon several of the baseball
squads were doing light batting praC-
tice and catching. 1t was a novel day
