THE first case questioning the con-
stitutionality of the section of the
new waterpower law which declares a
permanent public body of water every
navigable stream created by any dam
maintained over twenty years, came
up for hearing before the railroad
rate commission at Madison last Fri
day. The case is that of w. R. Law
and others against the Darlington
Electric Light & Waterpower COM
pany. The company's dam on the
PecatOnica river was the cause, it is
alleged, of low water which impaired
the use of the stream for the owners
of summer cottages along its banks,
some of whom, led by Mr.. Law, be-
gan this action. The waterpower
act declares that no such body of
water shall be destroyed, nor shall
its navigability be impaired.

WHEN Champ Clark, speaker of the
national house of representatives, ar
rived in Nashville, Tenn, to be the
guest of the Tennessee state fair, he
was asked if his supposed humorous
remarks about annexation at ban
quet some time ago had not aided in
the defeat of the reciprocity PROPOSE
ton by Canada Thursday. Mr.. Clark
wrote the following statement:
"My remarks about annexation did
not do half as much to defeat recipro-
city in Canada as did President Taft's
speech, in which he insisted on hurry
ing up agreeing to reciprocity in this
country before Great Britain could
establish her imperial policy of tariff
with preferential rates for the colon
les.
"He and / both were quoted by
the anti-reciprocity crowd in Canada,
he more than l but the chances are
that the quotations from his speeches
and mine did not have half so
much to do with defeating reciproc-
ity as did the corruption funds sent
from both this country and Great
Britain into Canada"

DONATION DAY.

Last Saturday was the anniversary
of the opening of st. Mary's hospital
and the Ladies Auxiliary deemed it
an appropriate time to have what it
termed Donation Day. at which
those who desired TO give cash, linens.
towels, and clothing, provisions, ETC.,
could do so. Cur citizens responded
well but no. as generously as it was
hoped they would. However, it may
be that they forgot the day and to
those who did, the ladies desire to an
nounce that donations will continue
to be received at the Y. NJ. G. A. or
at the hospital. All those who can
donate and have not done so, please
keep this in MUD

AMONG the horrible catastrophes in
Wisconsin the past week was that
which happened at Neenah at $40
O'Clock Sunday morning. A large
number of young people had been out
into the country to attend wedding
party, making the trip on hay
rack. A bill board INSTRUCTED the
view of the track, also it prevented
the engineer from seeing the load of
riders. The engine pulling the n. w.
limited from Ashland, crashed into
the center of the hay rack scattering
the people right and left, killing thir-
teen and injuring like number.
One of the unusual incidents was the
way in which the baby of Mrs, Joseph
Brezinski was saved from injury.
Mrs. Brezinski, holding the child, sat
with her husband near the front of
the hayrack. A few feet toward the
rear of the wagon sat Miss Mary
Schwartzbauer. After the train cut
the wagon in two the Brezinskis
found themselves sitting on the
ground, slightly shaken up. The
baby was not there. The parents ran
about in the dim light of the morn
ING in frantic search of the child.
Fifty feet from the track they found
the baby unframed in the arms of
Miss Schwartzbauer, who was uncon-
scious, but not otherwise injured.
The rate commission has ordered q
thorough investigation. This makes
the second of such accidents within
the past two weeks in Wisconsin.

Corean Pipes.

Until the last few years mans
wealth and position in Corea were
judged to a great extent by the length
of his pipe. OF course, the develop
ments incidental to such a custom
made things irksome to the very
wealthy smokers, for some pipes. be-
came so long that the owner had to
have servant whose duty It was to
bear the burden and hold a match to
the bowl when his master wanted
light. Since Corea has become Japan
csc territory, pipes have been limited
to three feet in length.-Travel Maya

The Cross of Holy Rood.

For many years the miraculous cross
(Which was alleged to have saved
King David's life by interposing itself
between him and an infatuated white
stag) was preserved in the abbey. It's
virtue, however, was tested In 1346
at the battle of Dunbar. The test
proved too much for the cross, which
fell into the hands Of the enemy, who
paid it the respect Of housing 1t in the
cathedral near the field of battle. 1t is
said that the texture Of the Cross OF
Holy Rood was such that mo mortal
artificer could tell whether it was OF
wood, horn or meta1."~-Loniion Chron-

Old Ace PonuIar Here.

More of US are living to good old
age today than ever in any. age Of the
world before; and more, probably, In
America than in any other country in
the world, on account of the wider dis
tribution Of resources and greater
prosperity and comfort Of all classes
and individuals. The prevention Of old
age in the sense Of its postponement
to the latest period and robbing it
of nearly all its discomforts, is ad-

AT the recent meeting of the rural
carriers in Milwaukee, there was a
decided feeling in favor of parcels
post over rural routes. George s..
Thompson, superintendent of rural
delivery for the post office depart
ment, spoke of this service as means
of wiping out the annual deficit. He
might and did probably say that the
parcels post would be a great benefit
to the people.
