DISPOSITION IS TO
HELP THE BEGGAR
GET OUT Of TOWN
Communities Spend Much In
This Way Working At:
Cross Purposes.

The beggar long ago discovered that a
trouble us no more is the thing above
all others which we give with the
greatest cheerfulness to the applicant
for aid. AS a result an agency in a
railroad town out of a total relief eX-
penditure of $500 a year used s24O for
railroad tickets to nearby communities.
The officials of neigbboring places re-
turned the compliment. All were busily
giving transportation to meet the de-
ated by passing on the procession
of charity rate travellers. What else
could they dor" Surely something bet
ter than this.
Over 400 public and private agencies
refuse to buy railroad tickets for dppll-
cants except straight through to des-
tinauon and then only to those who
will be better off there.
The adoption of this rule in one city
reduced to one-ahlf the amount spent
for railway tickets. How badly some
sane method of regulating the evil of
passing on is needed is shown by an
instance given by Mary E. Richmond in
the Survey.
"A feeble-minded woman, young and
good looking, applied to the county Of
ficials Of a Western State. saying that
she came from Kansas. The county
promptly sent her to another county,
which as promptly sent her back again.
Weeping and in great distress, she was
second time in the custody of the coun-
ty clerk. Such contests are not un-
known over the insane.

The Cry of the Loon,

The cry of the loon is one of the
strangest, weirdest sounds in nature.
Those who have heard it can scarcely
wonder that it has so often been woven
into song and legend.
blood red ring hung round the moon,
Hung round the moon. All, me! All, mel
heard the piping of the loon,
A wounded loon. All, me!
And yet the eagle feathers rare
I, trembling, wove in my braves hair
Almost all writer's who have attempt
ed to describe the cry Of this bird have
likened it to unmirthful laughter.
Thus Mr.. Vernon Bailey, speaking of
the sound, describes it as follows:
"Only on the lonely lake in the heart
of the woods do you get the startling
thrill of the looms wild cry-one clear,
piercing note or long, quavering, de-
moniacal laugh that to the timid sug-
gests herd of screaming panthers."

The Names of Moses.

Moses of Scriptural fame is called
by eight different names in various
places in the Bible. Bathia, the daugh-
ter of Pharaoh, called him Moses be-
cause she drew him out of the water
Jochebed, his mother. called him Jeku-
thiel, saying, 81 had hoped for him."
Miriam, his sister, called him Jared
because she had descended after him
into the water to see what his end
would be- Aaron called his brother
Abb Zanu ch because his father had de-
serted their mother. Amram the IA
Their of Moses, called the boy Chabar
because he was again reunited to the
mother of the lad. Kehath, the grand
father of Moses, called him Abigdor
because God had repaired the breach
in the house of Jacob. The nurse of
the grandfather of Moses called him
Abb Socho because he was once hid
den three months in the Tabernacle
All Israel called him Shemaiah be-
cause ''in his days God heard their
cries and rescued them from their op-
pressOrS."

Dot and Trousseau,

Dealing with the weaknesses of &C.
tors, some noted for meanness. a Paris
contemporary relates a good story of
Frederick Lemaitre, the celebrated ac-
tor, who was somewhat parsimonious.
When his daughter was about to
marry, Lemaitre agreed to provide the
"dot'' and the trousseau. dot" it
may be observed, is the French equiv
alent for the English dover or Scot
fish 'tocher."
When the notary came to complete
the contract and was reading the
terms Lemaitre said: 'The daughter of
Frederick Lemaitre has not need of a
dot. M. LIE Notaire. strike out the
dot"
The prospective son-in-law was pres
ent, and he had the courage to reply:
"The daughter of Frederick Lemaitre
can easily clothe herself with the fame
of her father. NJ. LIE Notaire. pray
strike out the trousseau."

Ole K Huseboe is very low and it is
not expected he can live for many days.
August Peterson, while handling to-
bacco cases in the Simonson warehouse
first of the week, sustained injuries
that kept him from work for day.
The result of the village election was
a surprise all around. 1t was gener-
ally thought the license question would
be very close, and it was more gener-
ally feared that waterworks extension
bonds would be defeated, but the for
mer carried by 80 majority and the lat
ter by 20.
The insignificant hen is doing some
thing towards enhancing the prosperity
of our farmer community. Meyer
Nicholson in four days last week took
in at his store 900 dozen of eggs. One
farmer, John Evenson of North Deer
field, brought in JAP dozen. This amount
was from less than two weeks gather
ing. Had it not been for the radical
politicians making an effort to outlaw
the cold storage business, the eggs
might still have brought 20 cents per
dozen. Then what nice income it
would have made.

A large fishing launch owned by Ted
Carroll was destroyed by fire Sunday
evening, shortly before midnight. The
boat was anchored near the packing
shed of the carp fishermen and the

loss will amount to over $500.
A team of Mr. Damuth of Fort Atkin-
son ran away one day last week and
performed the feat of crossing the rail-
way bridge west of Jefferson junction.
Mr. Damuth took some passengers to

When he returned he found the team
gone and the wagon at the post where
it was caught. The team went on the

Stoughton

James Davidson, a Westby banker,
has been here for couple of days, a
visitor with George O Moen, manager
of the Equity society. Mr. Davidson
purchased of the dairy and food com
missioner, Mr. Emery, some fine high
bred Jersey COWS from the Albion farm.
George Reinhardt, travelling sales
man for the r Hefer Malt & Brewing
Co, who for some time past has been
taking orders here for intoxicating
liquors, has become convinced that his
Stoughton business is not paying one;
that, in fact, it was not conducive to
his general welfare Mr. Reinhardt, as
was noted a week or ten days ago, was
arrested here on the charge of traffick-
ing in Intoxicating liquors without a
license, and entered plea Of not
guilty Thursday morning he appeared
in Justice Gilbert's court, together with
his attorney, John A Hazel wood, of
Jefferson, who, on behalf of his client,
requested permission to change the
plea to guilty and asked for leniency.
Justice Gilbert imposed fine of SIS
and costs. AS another charge was
hanging over the defendants head,
conviction of which would have result
ed in a jail sentence, Mr. Reinhardt
pledged his word of honor that he
would do no more business here while
the city was no-license.
Horses for work on the sewer system
and car load of supplies reached
Stoughton and the contractor accepted
the bid of the Heddles Lumber Co for
1000 barrels of cement to be used in
it's construction Operations will begin
as soon as the necessary apparatus ar
rives. This will give employment to a
large number of men, of whom Slough
ton can furnish some scores just at this
time. Machinery will be used in exca-
waiting where gravel and rock does not
interfere. Piping in the main or bust
ness section of the city will be done in
the alleys, so that the paving in the
streets need not be disturbed, and some
trespassing will be done on private
property in the residence districts, es-
pecially along the Yahara river in the
rear of F N Falk's property, the drug
gist. Whether litigation will ensue in
any case is yet to be determined. There
is likely to be diversity of opinion as
to the amount of damage thereby in
Cured.

The many friends and admirers of
Miss Maybelle Cole were shocked to
learn Friday evening of her death in
Chicago from an operation for appen-
dicitis The operation was performed
last Tuesday at the Jefferson Park hos
pital and until Thursday afternoon she
was thought to be doing well, when she
suffered relapse and died at 3:24 Fri
day afternoon. Maybelle Lois Cole,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs P H Cole, was
born in Milton Junction, Wis, Dec 80,
1883. Practically all her life was spent
spent in this village where she attended
the public schools, graduating from the
high school in the class of 1903. About
eight months ago she decided to fit her
self for the profession of trained nurse
and began her study at that time in the
Illinois Training School for Nurses in
Chicago.

was friend and admirer of the bril-

the Ringlings some of the first animals
tqey had, and has watched their career
from the beginning and naturally takes
pride in their achievement. The Col
onel says that Otto Ringing was never
known to go back on friend. He was
true blue, and was one of the Colonels
best friends. Two special cars from
Chicago with sorrowing friends of the
deceased attended the funeral at Bara
boo Monday. 1t is estimated that
$1,000 was expended for flowers on the
occasion. Mr. Ringing was 32nd de-
