A Busy, Season

The big mill of the Iron River
Lum Der Company located at
Iron River finished its winter
run on hardwood tim berf last
Friday evening after a steady
winter ruH.. The mill will be
closed down for a few days to
make few necessary repairs
and changes and some time this
week the plant will start up
again saving white pine and
norway timber. Pine is already
being received from the woods
and there will be quite little
stock on hand at the time that
the mill resumes saving.
The company will operate
again next winter, saving hard.
wood timber, and they announce
that matters will be so arranged
in the fall that the change from
pine to hardwood will take no
longer than the change this
spring, and the mill will be kept
running all the year around.
New tracks will be laid during
the coming summer into tracts
containing several million feet of
hardwood timber and all of the
timber will be hawled out before
the tracks are again taken up.
The running of this big institu.
ton winter and summer has
made business rather brisk in
Iron River and the town is now
one of the busy little places of
northern Wisconsin.

IT never think Of the dreadful ocean

mark that a small child of mine made
to me on the way out last summer"
said cheerful young matron who had
just returned from abroad. 81 was SUI
fering from one Of the most awful
spells Of seasickness. Ny little daugh-
ter for three days had seen me lying
in my berth, while the stewardess
from time to time tempted my reluc-
tant appetite, making dutiful efforts
to swallow and retain something-any-
thing to sustain life till I could get OF
that agitated monster called a floating
palace
Mamma queried this daughter Of
mine after she had just witnessed q
particularly narrowing scene, do you
think you'll ever go back home If you

Warned to Keep Off Stage

Hayward, Wis. April John
Dietz must keep off the stage. A
report coming from Milwaukee that
Dietz has found the public platform
so attractive that he has been nego-
tiating with a vaudeville company
for appearance as a stage attrac-
ton, has caused District Attorney
Williams to warn Dietz that if he is
not careful he will find himself be-
hird the bars again,
Within the past week Sheriff
Clark has been notified by District
Attorney Williams to watch Dieiz
closely and if he is found disregard

ASSEMBLYMEN FAVOR
Youmans measure, slightly
changed, expected to re-
ceive endorsement

Madison, Wis. Apr-Two
slight changes have been made
in the county tuberculosis sana'
tora bill as a result of the hear
ing this week before the assemb-
oily committee on charitable and
penal institutions. When new
bill has been drawn incorpora.
ting these changes, it is believed
there will be no opposition in the
com mittee to recommending the
measure for passage.
The changes are those which
provide that the sanatOria may
De erected on the grounds OF
existing county institutions, and
which compel a detailed annual
report from the county to the
state board of control. !
DR.. j. w. Coon, superinten-
dent of the state sanatorir M at
Wales, again appeared before
the com mittee. He told of the
cost of maintenance in Wiscon'
sin and in other states and also
said that the cost OF maintaining
an institution would be less If il
were located on the county poor
farm site, although the bill gives
counties the authority to build
separately if they wish.
DR.. Almah j. Frisbie, OF the
state board of control, again
spoke in (. favor of the bill,
emphasizing the necessity OF
caring for the advanced cases OF
tuberculosis, DR.. M. ?. Raven.
ell and Prof. Louis E. Reber of
the university and L. W. Hutch
croft of the state board of health
were present at the hearing.
Mem bers of the assem- bly, and
senate from all parts of the state
are receiving requests from
constituents that the bill be
passed, 1t is pointed out to
them that Wisconsin's provision
for it's 10000 consumptives is so
inadequate as to be almost neg
Eligible, and that seven counties
in the state are waiting favor
able action by the legislature
that they may build institutions.

PLAYING OFF SICK.
a Fable That May Act as Tonic /
Such Case.

a Fable That May Act as Tonic In
Such Case.
If you have anybody working for
you and they lie down on their Job
don't fire them at once-just call
them in and tell this story:
Down in Virginia a farmer had
an OK and mule that he hitched
together to a pillow. One night,
after several days of continuous
blowing and after the OK and mule
had been stabbed and provendered
for the night, the OK said to the
mule, "We've been working pretty
hard; let's play off sick tomorrow
and lie here in the stalls all day."
"You can if you want to-" re-
turned the mule, ''but l believe I'll
go to work"
So the next morning when the
farmer came out the OK played off
sick; the farmer bedded him down
with clean straw, gave him fresh
hay, a bucket of oats and bran
mixed, left him for the day and
went forth alone with the mule to
pillow.
All that day the OK lay in his
stall, chewed his cud and nodded,
slowly blinked his eyes and gently
swished his tail.
That night when the mule came
in the OK asked how they got along
blowing alone all day. "Well," said
the mule, cit was hard, and we
didn't get much done, and"-
"Did the old man have anything
to say about me" interrupted the
OK.
NO." replied the mule.
"Well, then" went on the OK, 81
believe I'll play off again tomorrow.
1t was certainly fine lying here all
day and resting"
"That's up to you" said the mule,
'Fbut I'll go out and plow.''
So the next day the OK played off
again, was bedded down with clean
straw, provendered with hay, bran
and oats and lay all day nodding,
blinking, chewing his cud and gen.
thy swishing his tail.
When the mule came in at night
the OK asked again how they had
got along without him.
"About the same as yesterday"
replied the mule coldly.
'Did the old man have anything
to say to you about me?" again in
CURED the OK.
NO." replied the mule, mot to
me, but he did have long talk
with the butcher ON the way home"

An Old But Bad System

The bill introduced in the assemb-
ly by Hon. Merlin Hull of Black
River Falls to abolish log-rolling
methods in the legislature is aimed
at on old but exceedingly persistent
abuse which has prevailed in the
legislatures of all states.
A member wants to pass a bill
W hich he knows is open to serious
objections but he goes to other mem
bers who also have some objection
able bills which they want to pass
and he makes mutual arrangement
wherein these members support
each others bills. Thus the bad
bills pass. while good ones are per-
haps defeated. 1t is form of mu-
tual bribery, and ought to have
been prohibited long ago. Mr..
Hull's bill is intended to stop the
log-rolling method. 1t aims TO &C.
compIish needed reform.
Mr.. Hull is making an excellen
record in the assembly in the line of
reasonable reform, and is apparent
ly getting good support. The pre-
sent legislature is in general pro-
ceeding with care and reason, Civ
ing due attention to the wishes and
needs of the respective constituent
cies of the members, and not over
looking the broader questions of the
state government. Superior Tele-
gram.

Parents Shonld Encourage it

The effort now being made by the
young men of the city to organize an
athletic club should be encouraged
by all parents who are DESTROYS OF
seeing their boys engage in good
healthful sport. There is nothing
that will do as much to attract the
young men OF our city from evil
sports and pastimes as a good athe-
letic club. Boys, after they become
interested in the work of a club of
this kind, will become anxious to ex-
cell, and this will encourage good
hours, giving up of bad habits
etc. Parents and others should do
all they can to encourage the organi-
cation of the athletic Climb.

"kil" In Irish.

The popularity of Irish place
names may possibly have had some
thing to do with the sanguinariness
of some accounts of Irish elections
ir bygone times. The frequently
occurring prefix "Kip-meaning
church-has sinister sound to un-
accustomed ears. A young Eng
lishman went to Ireland to assist
college chum at an election. He
was startled on hearing at railway
station the following conversation
between two wild looking peasants.
'1'm just after being over to Kill
patrick" said one. "And l." re-
piled the other, Gam just after be-
ing over to Kilmary." "And where
are We going now?" ooh, I'm going
to Fillmore" Fillmore, is it?
Fax, you'd better be coming wi
me to Kilemaule." The Englishman
took the quickest route home

They Are Rather Joyous Events With
q Holiday Flavor Is

They Are Rather Joyous Events With
u a Holiday Flavon
One of the questions asked by the
Brazilian housekeeper in engaging
new servant is whether she be-
longs to funeral association.
These associations are organized
chiefly among poor people. Any
one may join; membership is Sc
cured by the payment of small an
nual fee. There are no constitu-
tions or bylaws, and there is only
one obligation-every member must
attend every funeral of a fellow
member. AS the associations have
thousands of members deaths occur
often, and 80 Brazilian housekeep-
ers are often left without servants.
It might seem burdensome to
have to 60 to so many funerals, but
this is not the case. A funeral in
Brazil is happy occasion for near
ly all its participants. They get a
day off, and holiday is always well
coined by the Brazilians; then they
meet their friends and can gossip
and Hirt, and, still better, whisky
and free dinneriare served to tn.
mourners.
They constitute one of the
strange sights Of Rio. de Janeiro,
these funeral professions. Rain OF
shine, long professions of laughing
and chatting people go through the
streets: Large umbrellas shield
them from the tropical sun, and
their gay colored dresses shine out
brightly underneath. +.
Neither the appearance of the
mourners nor the tinny music OF
the band heading the procession
suggests funeral. The musicians
play everything, waltzes, marches,
light opera, but never dirge. Not
infrequently the mourners stop at
q fruit stand or bar for refresh
ment. Only the presence of hearse
distinguishes these funeral process
sions from a joyful parade. The
stranger who sees the large process
sion is filled with surprise. His
surprise increases when he learns
that the dead man is only poor
negro coachman.
"But surely" he says. che must
have been a wonderful man to have
soamany friends come mourn him"
"sAh, no." he is Informed. "But
he spent all his money and savings
to join this, the best funeral asso-
citation. And I'm sure his soul at
this minute smiles down at seeing
SO large and brilliant procession
in his memory."-New York Sun.

Mark Twain;'s seaIskin Coat.

At the time Of our first meeting
which must have been well toward the
winter, Clemens was wearing a seal.
skin coat, with the fur out, in the
satisfaction Of a caprice or the love
Of strong effect which he was apt to
indulge through life. With his crest
of dense red hair and the wide sweep
of his flaming mustache Clemens was
not discordantly clothed in that seal
skin coat, which afterward, in spite of
his own warmth in it, sent the cold
chills through me when l once accom-
panied it down Broadway and shared
the immense publicity it won him.

At an evening party it was re-
marked that nobody could draw two
things at once. Sir Edward Land
seer, who was present, replied that
he thought he could, and, taking a
pencil in each hand, he drew. stimuli
taneously and without hesitation
with the right hand the profile of a
stays head and all It's antlers COM
plete and with the left hand love-
ly horses head. The acts of drafts

and not alternate, and the drawing
by the left hand was as good as that
by the right.

TOOK HIS FATHERS PLACE.
The Night Edwin Booth First APP
peared as Richard Ill.

peared as Richard Ill.
Between the ages Of fifteen and
eighteen Edwin Booth was almost con-
stantly the intimate companion Of his
father, Junius Brutus Booth the elder.
That fathers eccentricities were such
as to tax even the devotion Of such
son, but Edwin's affectionate care
never failed. He used to beguile the
tragedian's time following his arduous
performances by playing the violin or
singing negro ballads, accompanying
himself on the banjo. Many times he
attended his father on long walks be
tween midnight and morning. In 1851,
on a certain night, the father was
booked to appear as Richard Ill. at
the National theater, New York. An
hour before the time for the curtain
to rise he chose to lock himself IN
closet at his hotel and refused every
persuasion his son could offer to keep
his engagement.
In despair Edwin rushed to the the
alter to explain his fathers absence.
The house was already filled. The
manager was distracted and in his
excited questioning Of the boy acct
dentally learned that the tragedian
had fiippantly told Edwin to go and
act Richard himself. well take him
at his word" said the manager. And
the frightened boy was FASTENED TO
the stage and helped into his fathers
Gloster costume, several sizes too big
for him. Members Of the company
gave helpful encouragement.
The play opened without an explana-
ton to the audience. When Edwin
made his entrance for the opening solil-
oquy the substitution was Immediate
ly recognized, but so also was the boy,
for Edwin had several times appeared
in lesser parts, notably that Of Tressei
in the same play, in which role he
made his very first appearance. The
time, then interested and finally enthu-
siastic, for Edwin Booth, although only
eighteen years of age, played Richard
worthily, revealing many flashes OF
that brilliant genius that afterward
made him star of much greater emil
hence than his father had ever achiev-
ed. On the strength Of this success
Edwin Booth was soon engaged by
the manager Of Baltimore stock COM
pany to play any part assigned to him
at the enticing salary of Sc per week.
Small as that pay was, Edwin Booth
later on in the far west experienced
deprivation that would have been i'm
measurably relieved by an even small
er income.-Kansas City Star.
