THE WIND FAIRY.

THE following lines were written
in answer to a letter from little boy
of eight, Cd the first page of which
he drew the outlines of his conception
of "Wind Fairy" Ed.
Wind Fairy foated in at my door
SO lightly her feet ne'er touched the floor.
She kissed my cheek,
She ruffied my hair
And knew from her sweet and gentle air
That a spirit Of love was lowering there.

"A beautiful 81 irit has sent me to you

From the morning bright to the evening dim
And when night comes and his dear eyes close
In gentle sleep and sweet repOSe.

And wander about in shady bowers.
And blow through his window fragrant breeze
That lis dreams may be bright as the summer

SECRETARY FREAR.
An Evening with the Mems Club Of the
UniversaIist Church.

Last Friday evening the Mems clut
of the Universalist church held its
regular monthly banquet in the din
ing room of the church. AS usual,
the tables were filled, there being
nearly 100 men present. The supper
was such as to tempt one to come
again-to say nothing about the
feast of reason" which was sure to
be part of the evenings pleasure
and was furnished by the ladies OF
the church.
On this occasion Hon. James A.
Frear, our secretary of state, was
the speaker of the evening. Mr..
Frear is one of the able and well
known public men of Wisconsin, hay
ing served for two, and is now on his
third term, in the position which he
occupies. He is representative
man of what is known as the progress
sive wing of the republican party.
His address was concerning the laws
more especially which have been
passed since the so-called reform
movement started in this state;
reform Legislation, Viewed from a
Non-Partisan Standpoint" He was
introduced by the clubs president, j.
w. Coates.
Mr.. Frear talked for over an hour
and had the closest attention of his
audience. He took up many of the
Very important measures of our
country which, when proposed, he
said, were called insane laws, but as
they were never repealed it was evil
dence that the people thought other
wise. He took up the anti-pass,
primary election, r. r. commission,
and other laws. He gave his opinion
as to what would become laws this
winter and fervently advocated the
getting together of the representative
men of all parties on the great, vital
questions, that better laws might re-
suit to the benefit of all.
A motion thanking Secretary Frear
for his splendid talk before the club
was passed unanimously by rising
vote, after which time was spent in
shaking hands and getting acquainted
with the speaker. Mr.. Frear, while
in the city, was guest of A. L.
KreutZer.

WAUSAU A WINNER.

We have received a letter and tab
ular statement from the secretary of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION in regard to the awarding
of prizes for the sale of Red Cross
stamps. This shows that Columbus
won the $3.50 Henning piano for hav-
ing made the largest per capita sale
for city of 1900 population or more:
it's percentage was 25.33. Kenosha
won the equipment for an open air
school, offered to the city of $4,000 or
over making the largest per capita
sale.
The only competition entered into
by Wausau was for one months SER
vices of visiting nurse. Our rank
was tenth, with percentage of 2.225.
The nine cities above us will have
precedence in the assignment of a
nurse, and it will not be until next
October that one will come to this
city.
Street drinking fountains of the
value of $50 were offered to towns in
each congressional district making
the highest per capita sale. Amigo
won the prize in this district. Many
other prizes were awarded. Miss
Clara Christensen's school in Muk-
wanago won a prize of 500 sanitary
drinking cups for having sold on ali
average of s1.0S worth of seals per
pupil.
The letter says that while all re-
ports are not in there is little doubt
that Wisconsin will lead all other
states in the sale of the Red Cross
seals.

The present fashion of women wearing
enormous hats even while at church mas
caused vigorous protests from male wor-
Slippers whose view - obstiucted and de

1t has beer suggested thst a 1ompronn-
Use might be arrived at by the adoption
Of modified form OF the Spanish man

his diocese, published IN The Catholic
toderationsts, points out the inconvcn-
fence caused by large hats in church. and
proceeds: surely nothing can be more
suitable, more becoming TO woman I'm

I'm Spain and Italy. Every woman who
has an audience Of tho Holy Father has
TO wear It. IT Was-by request-wurn

In evening dress with a slight veil or

near us. some times came to see us

his antecedents. He came to us as a

took one Of them. He was a yiolinist
and gave, lessons. am told that he

Harrison Phillips, David Graham $
younger brother, said that Goldsbor-
ough had been bothering David with
letters and telephone calls to the
Princeton club for month or six
weeks, but that his brother had never
been able to learn what the mans
grievance was. He thought perhaps
they had met at some socialistic gath
ering and that Goldsborough had in
sisted Phillips ought to do something
for the cause"
