LEARNED TO EAT LEATHER
How Mornan's Pirates Managed 70
Swallow and Digest 10 to
Avoid Starvation.

The Infamous Captain Morgan and
his piratical crew were sometimes In
tight places at Panama, and on one
occasion were reduced to eating their
leather bags. Some persons" says
one Of the company, Exquemelin
(whose narrative is reproduced In
"The Buccaneers in the West Indiss'')
who never were out Of their mothers
kitchens may ask how these pirates
could eat, swallow and digest these
pieces of leather, so hard and dry.
Unto whom l only answer: That could
they once experiment with hunger, or,
rather, famine Is. they would certainly
find the manner, by their own neces-
sity, as the pirates did. For these
first took the leather and sliced 1t in
pieces. Then did they beat 1t between
two stones and rub it, often dipping
1t in the water Of the river, to render
1t by these means supple and tender.
Lastly, they scraped off the hair, and
roasted or broiled 1t upon the fire.
And being thus cooked they cut 1t
into small morsels and ate 1t, helping
it down with frequent gulps of water,
which by good fortune they had right
at hand"

MAMMOTH WAGON.

f. JaWort has constructed a wagon
for the Marathon Granite company
which is somewhat on the curiosity
line. The wagon weighs about $500
pounds, and requires two teams to
haul it. 1t is built to haul fourteen
tons, and consequently its construc-
ton is massive. The aXles are of
fOur-inch steel and are stronger than
those under the ordinary box car.
The wheels are about six inches in
thickness and of solid oak. Every
part of the wagon is of solid construc-
tion. 1t is the first and only wagon
of the kind ever constructed in Wau-
sau and possibly in the state of Wis
cOnsin. 1t Will be used to haul mass
i've blocks rom the company's quarry
in the town of Texas to the plant in
this city.

CATARRH SUFFERERS.
II You Don't Know About HYomei
Try 1t at W. w. AIbers' Risk.

Nearly every reader of the WAUsAU
PILOT has read about HYOMEI, but
many of them continue to suffer from
catarrh Just because they do not
exactly understand just what HY-
OMEI is.
To these sufferers w. W. Albers
says you don't have to know anything
about HYOMEI except that you
breathe it and that it does not contain
cocaine or opium or any harmful drug.
You can find out all about HYOMEI
without taking any chances whatever.
Just get an outfit today, read the
simple instructions, give it a fair
trial and then if you are not willing
to say that it is the best remedy for
catarrh you ever used, w. w. Albers
will gladly return your money.
A complete HYOMEI outfit costs
but S10O. Extra bottles so cents.

SHORT NEWS ITEMS.

The fourth concert given on the
fair grounds Sunday was like it's pre-
decessors-it drew out thousands of
people. In addition to the concert
there were several organizations hold

fact that we have at our door as fine
park grounds as can be found this
side of Marathon City. With few

made the equal of any park in the
state. We are told that movement
is on foot to secure a number of Won
derland attractions for the grounds
next season, starting early and con-
tinuing as long as the weather per-

fired two shots at Policeman John

grey and was dressed in the Sunday
toys Of poor man. When he first
landed in the city he was quite talka-
tive, but after the shooting affair he
closed up like clam. Where he
came from or why he came here he
refused to state. Although he claims
to have lived here over twenty years
ago, no one seems to remember him.
He entered a plea of guilty to the
charge Of assault with intent to kill
and murder, and was sentenced to
serve term of five years in the peni-

NO LEAGUE.

A statement has gone out from
La Crosse to the following effect:
"That there may be no Minny
league next year unless some other
financial arrangements are made, is
the opinion expressed by leading base
ball fans here after a study of the
records following the close of the
season.
SIT is stated that none of the six
clubs now constituting the organiza-
tion have made any money, in fact,
in all cases it is said that there is a
considerable deficit. Two clubs,
Wausau and Red Wing, found it nee
essary to quit earlier in the season.
Winona, Eau Claire, Superior, Du-
luth, Rochester and La Crosse are all
said to be ready 10 throw up their
hands unless something can be done
to assure reduced expenses or else
higher revenue next season."

1T WAS "DELIGHTFUL POISON"
Pretty Legend of the Origin Of Vino
in Persia, Where 1t First
Was Made.

The making Of wine is said to have
originated with the Persians, who dis
covered the process quite by accident.
One OF their earliest kings, Jensheed,
who, 1t is said, was only five or six
generations from Noah, was the dis
coverer, or rather a woman of his
household was.
He was immoderately fond of
grapes" says the narrative, which is
found in Sir John Malcolm's History
OF Persia" "and desired to preserve
some, which were placed in a large
vessel and lodged in a vault for future
use. When the vessel was opened
the grapes had fermented and their
juice in this state was so acid that
the king believed it must be poison
GUS.
He had some vessels filed with it
and Poison written upon each. These
were placed in his room. 1t happened
that one Of his favorite ladies was af-
fected with nervous headache; the
pain distracted her SO much that she
desired death. Observing a vessel
with Poison written on it, she took
1t and swallowed its contents. The
wine, for such 1t had become, over
powered the lady, who fell down into
a sound sleep and awoke much re-
freshed.
Delighted with this remedy, she re-
peated the doses SO often that the
monarch's poison was all drunk. He
soon discovered this and forced the
lady to confess what she had done. A
quantity Of wine was made and Jen-
sheed and all his court drank Of the
new beverage, which from the circum-
stance that led to It's discovery is to
this day known in Persia by the name
OF Zeher-e-khoosh, or the delightful
poison"

Tin Used In Weighing SILK.

A chemist has recently analyzed a
sample Of a silk dress that was sub
mitted to him by a lady. He found
that 1t contained only fraction over
28 per cent. Of silk, and as much tin
was found in it as that present In
poor tin ores from Cornwall. The tin
occurs in the so-called weighing of the
silk. The chemist states that he at
once realized the fact that the silk
dresses worn by the ladies in London,
taken together, would represent q
Cornish tin mine Of very fair quality.

There is no greater element in the

Of q certain friendliness and cordiality
among its people.
There is probably no better index to
the calibre OF it's people than certain
hospitality which should at all times
be evident among the o-called home

surer road to absolute success than a
spirit Of friendliness with regard to
strangers.
Are you a true-to-the-heart Pensa-
eolian?
Are you always glad to give the poor
unfortunate stranger the grasp of
friendship when he falls beneath your
notice7
Because II you really want Pensa-
cola to grow and grow and to grow
some more. you should eliminate g
certain amount of owl-eyed reserve
and give the poor offender a chance
for his life, because don't you see, un-
fortunately, every one cannot be born
IN the dear old town-alas, not every
one!
You should lay the matter before your
wife, too, If you and the city are to

results Of alien dollars. and instruct
her to call on the family of Mr..
Stranger Town, because. in nine
