Was Harmless.

The Admiral Had to Prove That IL
Was Harmless.
Life in Ireland Is never devoid Of
the humorous, and when Admiral, then
Captain, John Moresby was stationed
at Queenstown, in 1869, he had his full
share. He narrates in 1.-TWO Admirals'
that it became his duty to survey a
damaged ship laden with casks Of
glycerin. For purpose Of repair he
directed a portion Of the cargo to be
landed and stored and thought no
more about 1t.
What was my establishment next
day, he says, to f1nd the whole town
in a panic and to be informed that
every life was In danger from the
deadly compound stored under one Of
the principal offices Of the place.
The town council assembled and sent
their health officer to stop all dis
charge Of cargo and to remove the
vessel to the outer anchorage. and the
people gathered at the street corners
in agitated crowds to meet their doom
in comfortable companionship.
/ vainIy contended that 1t could be
nothing but pure glycerin.
"Pure glycerin, is it?" said the chair
man. "Well, there's mighty little diff
ference between pure glycerin and I'M
pure glycerin, and the ship must be on
before we have the place blown about
our ears"
All I could say was: well, gentle
men, If it is nitroglycerin blow Will

the crowd as they followed at what
they believed to be safe distance.

A MAN AGAINST A. NATION.
The Most Curious European War That
Was Ever MaQed.

Was Ever Ma0sd.
The most curious European war ever
waged was that which in the sixteenth
century, the period OF the reformation
and the renaissance, was carried on
single handed for between FIVE and six
years between a bankrupt grocer OF
Berlin and the elector of Saxony, who
was the most powerful German prince
of the period. The ;grocer's name was
Hans Kohlhase, and the immediate
cause of the quarrel was the arresttnS
of two of his horses in the electors
territory, he being subject OF the
elector of Brandenburg. Failing TO
get redress. he adopted what was then
a perfectly legal expedient and de-
clared formal war on the realm OF
Saxony. The declaration was accepted
in due form, and the war began.
The extraordinary part Of the story
is that the grocer kept the war up for
nearly six years practically single
handed and even went to the extrem-
ity Of declaring war on his own sOver-
eign in the meantime before he was
caught. He burned farms and even
villages. employed mercenaries after
the fashion Of the times and made
himself the terror of the district. He
was finally influenced to stop hostili-
ties by Luther. and after he had taken
the sacrament from his hands he was
betrayed into a further act Of hostility
by treachery and, being captured, suf-
fered death on the wheel after refus-
ing an act Of grace which granted him
the painless and honorable death OF
the sword nhs story is perhaps the
strangest of all the romances OF that
romantic Westminster Gazette

The DEFEAT of Charles H.
Crownhart, the independent pro-
gressive republican candidate
for the office of attorney gener-
al, simply shows that the voters
of the state have not yet come to
the stage where they can be de-
pended upon to pick out the
best man on the ticket without
fear of wasting their vote. Vot-
ers are generally peculiar and it
is hard to get them to switch
from the straight ticket. The
time will come; however, whom
this will be changed and it will
be a case of the oest man to win.
Party lines are becoming very
loosely drawn and in q few years
the voters will learn the system
of picking out the best man on
the ticket, regardless of party.

No town in this state or any
other place for that matter,
can expect to thrive and pros
per without the concentrated
effort of it's citizens and the
judicious expenditure of
money. The towns in our
state today that are prosper
Gus are the ones that have
donated literally to enter
prises which employ labor.
Thus it is and always will be
that the liberal and broad
guaged town will thrive while
the tight listed ones are
struggling for the necessities
of life. It is within the power
of every town to increase her
population. With which class
do you wish to be rated? Do
you wish it to 60 out in the
world that you lack the ener-
gy necessary to protect your
own interest? If not get to
work and do something that
will increase your own
wealth and make your neigh
Dor more cOntented.

DURING the next twenty days
of November it will not be safe
to be in the woods of Northern
Wisconsin for during that time
the open season for deer will be
on in full blast in the state and
thousands of hunters will be
providing around in the woods in
pursuit of game. The annual
slaughter of deer which begins
tomorrow has during late years
come to be regarded as one of
accidents and fatalities for dur.
ing the twenty days many acct
dents are always reported from
the different parts of the north
ern woods. 1t is during this
time that the STOOL with the
gun" is always in evidence and
more or less accidents are sure
to follow. He is to be found
everywhere and hunters in the
woods must use every precau-
ton lest they be taken for deer
while moving in the brush.
It is well at this time to sound
the note of warning for those go
ing into the woods. Every pre-
caution should be taken so that
you will be safe from the care
less hunter. The wearing OF
red or green about the cap and
also the wearing of red gar
ments is one of the necessary
precautions and hunters gong
into the woods should first see
that they are bedecked with one
of these colors. 1t is also well
to be careful in the use of fire
arms and to be sure of the OBJ
ject that you are shooting at.
IF everyone would remember te
be careful the list of fatalities
and accidents would be diminish
ed and the deer season would
MT be regarded as one to be
feared.
