A Progressive City.

The Mineral Point correspondent OF
the Galena Gazette sent the following
good words of our city to the Gazette
last week: A federal building-the
center of talk tests in our city. Inc
citizens are interested, why should they
be? or, why should they not be? when
city of 5000 Inhabitants can produce
$4,000 Of receipts for one year, can
also produce an elegant site in the cen
ter of a hustling business district, but
most Of all our city of Mineral Point,
Wisconsin, is city that is steadily yet
rapidly advancing in population and
commercial wealth. We have a zinc
works that is gradually increasing IN
size, of space occupied and produce
made 1t is also the second largest OF its
kind in the world and the largest ID the
United Ststes. We also have cement
factories, cheese storages, implement
works and many other builders OF trade.
Our business houses are of the first
order, attracting buyers from all sur
rounding townships and nearby coun-
ties besides they meet and act as one in
the finest little club rooms in this Sec
ton of the state. We call it our
Commercial club. Our two accomo-
ating railroads with a 100000 increase
in freight receipts during the year OF
1910 tell the story of progress in our
midst, while our two banks with de-
posts that make many Of neighboring
bankers envy to relate to incomer's
the financial basis upon which we rest
In other words can some one advance
reasons why we should not have a
federal building of as much valne as
any of our sister cities?

A Narrow Escape from Death.

Shullsburg Pick and Cad: Harry
Peacock had narrow eacape last Fri
day from being killed by a Jersey bull.
A party called at his farm near Cuba
City to purchase some cows, and they
went to the pasture to see them,
while there, the bull came up, and Mr..
Peacock knowing that the animal was
liable to become vicious while strangers
were about, grasped him by the nose
ring The bull become unmanageable,
and a rough and tumble fight ensued,
Mr.. Peacock retained his hold on the
nose ring, and gradually worked the
animal toward the fence, the impact of
his body breaking one OF the wires.
Harry received two broken ribs, d
broken collar bone, and bruises 50
numerous that it is wonder he lived
through the ordeal. We are glad to
state that his chances for recovery are
good

close on my heels, when l began, three weeks
ago to use DR.. Kings New Discovery. But it
has helped me greatly. 1t is doing all that you

MONEY.

| do not believe in the doctrine
that if you want to make your
wife happy all you have to DO
is to give her plenty of money.
| do not believe that possession
of money and happiness are
synonymous. Women want love
first of all if they are provided
with the right instincts. The
great problem of today is the
making of money. 1t is unques-
tionably the occupation that en-
cages the minds of the vast ma
jOrity Of people. But from what
/ have seen of life and those
leading it when one has obtain
ed a competency money is SUI
perfuous, just like an excess of
what is not needed to round out
the figure and give it hand
some appearance. Piling up
wealth then becomes like piling
on flesh and greatly hinders the
enjoyment of the best things OF
this life.-JOhn Burroughs.

Appointed a Supervisor Of
Assessments.

Fennimore Times: The County Baord
of Grant County at it's session last fall
thought we could get along without a
supervisor of assessments, at least it
elected one of it's own members to the
position with the understanding that
while qualifying for the office, he was
still to draw no salary and perform
none of the duties of the office. The
state tax commission getting wind of
the affair thought differently and has
appointed Clarence M. Calvert, an at
torney Of Lancaster to fill the vacancy,
and fixed his salary at the maximum
amount allowed by law, whereas, the
former supervisor, Mr.. Arnold, who
declined to stand for re election, had
been paid the minimum amount.

BRILLIANCY.

Brilliant men like to have as
their helpmates brilliant women.
The essence Of marriage is com
panionship, and the woman you
face across the coffee urn every
morning for years must be both
able to appreciate your jokes and
to sympathize with your aspira-
lions. If this is not so the man
will stray actually or else chase
the ghosts of dead hopes through
the graveyard Of his dreams.
Prettiness pals unless it is back
ed up by intellect. The merely
clever woman is nearly as bad
as the clever man. All those
people who carry most Of their
goods in the show window are
headed for jobs at the button
counter.-Elbert Hubbard.

There is too much partisanShip
and not enough patriotism in
America. There is much wrong
done owing to disrespect for the
law. The laws may be sufficient,
but they are not efficient. The
greatest thing in our own coun-
try is law, and it is the greatest
thing in the universe. Law has
been and ever will be. In our
country the law is made for the
benefit of the people-to protect
the poor, to enable the work
man to collect his wages and to
maintain him in the enjoyment
of his rights under the cOnstitu-
ton. Disrespect for the law by
public servants and corporations
drags the respect of the law in
the duSt.-JOhn A. Johnson.
