FROM TEXAS.

Paris, Texas, Dec. 81, 1909.
DEAR FRIEND THAYER:
| better pay my old debt as long ]
have opportunity this year even if it
is only promise of writing and say
ing Hello! to the Wisconsin boys.
Well, got here all right, and not
too fast. The trains were late, came
just twelve hours later than ex-
pected.
Up to Springfield, Mo-, we had
snow on the ground. Chicago, even
ST. Louis had more show than up in
Marathon county. Here it is warm
er. But what is the difference after
all? Every one of the boys here sit
around the stove. Just as close, if
not closer, than out home.
Then people here take life seeming
ly very easy. From daylight on until
5 p. m. along the road did not see
one half dozen farmers on the fields
or woods. Some of the farming lands
look nice, but it is awful how people
take care of them. Have hardly seen
a decent house. No barns, only small
shed for stable. If those people can
make living that way they have a
snap. The villages and cities, yards
and everything looks dirty. Even
tho platforms, waiting rooms at the
depot make no exceptions.
The general report about farming
is not favorable. Just think of it up
on my quiry, how are Irish potatoes?
the answer came ''If frost doesn't t
catch 'em." The average crops are
far below Wisconsin. Cattle still
worse than some Wisconsin scrubs.
But / have no right to judge yet.
Later on / might be able.
One thing / am sure-there is graft
here as we'll as up north, and now,
/ wish you and the boys, happy
and prosperous new year.
With best regards to all,
Yours truly,
p. VANDERKAM

BAD ROADS.

All of the country roads at present
are what might be termed the COM
bination yariety-yagon and sleigh.
The wagon road is in the middle, the
sleigh road at either side, in the
ditch. Neither are worth tinker's
darn. In consequence of the prevail
ing condition of the roads, teaming is
very light. The roads are tough on
horse shoes. and it is impossible to
keep a horse sharp-shod for any
length of time. The cost of sharpen
ing shoes at the blacksmith's knocks
off all the profit on load of hay or
wood. Since the first SNOW came
enough has fallen to make good
sleighing had it remained where it
fell. but the wind has swept it into
the next county.

Cocaine Evil.

II Is said that not one-haf OF all
the cocaine imported into the United
States last year was used for medicin-
al purposes. The use OF this drug as
q stimulant has increased enormously
in recent years, particularly in those
states where the sale of liquor has
been prohibited. When used in this
way the drug skaters the nervous sys-
tenn. II has been said that within the
next few years the rate of mortality
among southern negroes win Increase
enormously as q result of the use OF
this drug, and 1t is well known that
its effects have been In the highest de-
gree harmful in some of the northern
and western states. 1t Is not surpris-
ing. therefore, that many citizens.
especially physicians and druggists,
who are aware OF the rapid increase
In the improper use Of cocaine. are
suggesting the federal regulation OF
ftx sale.

Iner on the bank where a seat and
view of the falls could be obtained

to remain standing-constantly moy-
ing from one position to another, re-
minding one of 'busy bees.n Forty
'rapids pieces" were run during the
day, several pieces being badly STAYED,
several slightly injured, and but few
passing uninjured. Not a cloud was

A few days since as Chas. w. Nut
ter was surveying some land in the
vicinity of Sandy creek, a small
stream few miles east of Wausau
the needle refused to perform its ac-
customed work. He went to look
ling in the bed of the stream, for
the cause of the local attraction. He
soon found large quantities of iron
ore from which he broke and brought
in few specimens. They have the
appearance of being very rich and
MIR. Nutter says they will yield IS
per cent pure iron. He also found in
the same stream, a few miles distant
from the iron, a piece of galena,
which is the richest we have ever
seen.

1t will be remembered that in Feb
ruary little son, five years old,) of
Aug Deichsel had his leg broken.
Very little hopes we're entertained of
his recovery because the bone would
not knit together, leaving the leg
perfectly useless. DIR. Searles when
he arrived in the city, was called and
made an examination and said he
could perform an operation that
would bring the limb out all right.
The operation was performed on
Monday and hopes are entertained
that the lad will soon be on his tops
again.
A GALA DAY-Sunday was lovely

"Thatll do" broke in Blake. IT'S
time for us to trot along"
but, Mr.. Blake, II he is i'll"
"Just the reason why he should keep
moving. No more of your CAB, Win!
Give your jaw a lay-off, and try wig
Cling your legs instead"
Winthrope turned away, crimson
with indignation. Blake paused only
for a parting word with Miss Leslie.
IF you want something to do, Miss
Jenny, try making yourself a pair Of
moccasins out OF the scraps of skin.
You can't stay in this gully all the
time. You've got to tramp around
some and those slippers must be about

They are still serviceable. Yet IL

You'll need good tough moccasins

swung away after Winthrope, she
stood for some time wondering at her.
self. A few days since she knew she
would have taken Blake's remark as
an insult. Now she was puzzled to
find herself rather pleased that he
should so note her ability to be of
service.
When she reused herself, and began
singing the hair from the odds and
ends Of leopard skin, she discovered
a new sensation to add to her list of
unpleasant experiences. But she did
not pause until the last patch of hair
crisped close to the halfcured surface
of the hide. Fetching the penknife
and her thorn and catgut from the
baobab, she gathered the pieces of
skin together, and walked along the
cleft to the ladder-tree. There had
been time enough for Blake and Win
thrope to set up the signal, and she
was curious to see how 1t looked.
She paused at the foot of the tree.
and gazed up to where the withered
crown lay crushed against the edge
Of the cliff. The height Of the rocky
wall made her hesitate; yet the men.
in passing up and down, had so
cleared away the twigs and leaves and
broken the branches on the upper side
Of the trunk, that 1t offered a means
of ascent far from difficult even for q

Revealing Ancient History.

In Laconia, Greece, where excava.
tons are being carried on vigorously
by English psychologists, the latest
finds confirm many assertions by an.
cient authors concerning the Spartans.
1t becomes definitely known that Lace.
daemonia was formed by the union
of five villages; that only priestesses
and citizens fallen in battle were
buried; that children were blrched in
public, etc. But the most fortunate
discovery is that of the most ancient
Doric temple known. 1t dates from
500 b. C. 1t is built partly of wood
and partly of sun'baked bricks.

Experiments with New Safety Device
for Foqqy Weather.


The United States government Is ex-
perimenting In San Francisco bay
with a safety device for foggy weather
which is remarkable In the uniqueness
of its idea. 1t is nothing less than
fog buoy which will make no noise OF
its own, but which will be expected to
catch the sound waves Of a vessels
whistle and echo them back across the
water.
The buoy, or structure, Is construct
ed of corrugated iron sheeting, placed
on piles, and built In three wings
placed at different angles. Each wing
Is 80 feet square.
The idea was given birth accidental
ly. There has always been much
trouble in the upper part of San Fran
cisco bay because the shore lights
cannot be seen when the weather is
bad. Pilots and shippers began to no
tice, however, how clearly the CORFU
gated steel warehouses around Benicia
returned the sound of their whistles,
and for some time have been guiding
their way along by the echoes. The
government is confident that the new
buoys will act in the same manner.
