WHERE ARE THE TEXAS COUS-
TNSp

Dear P. G. c.: | will come again,
as the Waste-basket caught my other
letter. What has gone with all the
Cousins from Texas? / have not seen
letter from them in a long time.
Cousins, received two letters from
Raymond Soker, and answered both.
l haven't heard from him any more.
How are all of the crops? We never
made any corn off of twelve acres We
only got three messes of roasting
ears. Our cotton will not make more
than three bales Off of twenty-four
acres. | will close for fear of the
waste-basket. Your Cousin, EU-

~11INCE our mutual friend, Mr..
Watson has generously allow
ed me to present the PROPOSE
T. ton in his columns, I have
another word to say:
/. From the first appearance of the
Prospectus, the names have been
coming, and they increase in number
constantly AT first singly, later in
twos and threes, but now they are
coming in, twenty in one letter, and
more to follow. Got 26 by this
mornings mail. And with them
come good letters, wishes for sue
cess and most hearty good wishes
and encouragement
2. In accordance with my sugges-
ton, many have taken the matter up
and are presenting it to their neigh
bors, using the Prospectus attached
to a sheet and placing names below.
This is greatly encouraging. We
thank them and ask them to keep it
up.
3. Remember that such a paper as
we propose will cost money, lots of
it, for the technical work, to say
nothing of editorial work and all
that. We have set the starting point
at 5000 names, as it will cost at
least Sc 900 year to print and mail
it even if we did not have but hun
dred subscribers, because the type
setting would cost just as much for
one paper as for million, and this
must be paid without reference to
the number of subscribers. Of course
such a paper must pay its way or it
would be folly TO start it. Help us
get it to the self-sustaining point to
begin with, and then We can go on
to better things. To this end we ask
all who read this to send us their
names at once. Don't wait but act
today. We want to start by Oct. 1 ,
and the quicker you help the quicker
we start. A dollar is not much, taken
singly, and it will be a dollar we'll
spent to help put such paper in the
field. Send your name and help it
along.
4. 1t will different from any pa
per you ever saw; original, it will
have "dig" to it you will like. Of
course, it will stir things bit They
need string a good deal. We have
not room or time to tell you how
many things need it, but if you will
help us push it along you will see the
point when We send you the paper.
A boy handed a sleepy man one of
those thing-a-ma-jigs called a "Jack
in the box. He opened it and then
he woke up like lightning and look
ed so different! Well, we promise
you if you will help us fix the box, to
hand the Pope and other ecclesiasti-
cal bosses, who are snoring on top of
their jobs, a thing-a-ma-jig that will
wake up the old sleepy boys and
make them take notice the people
are here yet. It is going to tell
things new and old many folks never
thought about. Try us and see.
5. We cannot afford to go by guess
work. We are usy, have a good po-
sition, making good living and do
ing lot OF work. We are not hunt
ing a job at all, have no axe to grind
no nest to feather. We just want to
get in position to reach more people
do more good, render better service
to our fellows, and that is the only
reason we want the paper We and
others have something real interest
ing to tell you, and at present other
publications are crowded and are we,
not able to tell you all. We want to
keep up with the procession, get a.
head bit and put a few blocks in

Oxyaen and Hydrogen.

Oxygen gas was discovered by DR..
Priestley about Aug. l, 1774. Turquet
de Mayeme discovered the inaamma-
bility of hydrogen in 1856. In 1766
Cavendish proved hydrogen to be an
elementary body, and in 1871 he and
Watt first showed that in the combi-
nation Of this gas with oxygen, which
takes place when 1t is burnt, water is
produced. Later Lavoisir decomposed
water with its elements and gave hy-
drogen Its present name, instead of its
old one Of inHammable air.

Frozen Apples.

Apples and potatoes when frozen can
be restored in good condition If they
are thawed slowly. But when thawed
rapidly they become fabby and soon
decay. The carpets and other cover
ings we place over plants in winter
do not prevent their freezing and
, thawing, but they do prevent their
freezing and thawing too quickly;
hence the benefit.

their owners drew closer round the

SCRATCHED Ill BLOOD RAN

When my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
Watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning | had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as il he were dying. He was
almost skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies l
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for long while
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was so soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad / was he felt better It took one
box Of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake of Cuticura Soap to
cure him ! think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and / shall always remain firm
friend Of them. There has been no
return Of the trouble. / shall be glad
to have You publish this true state
ment Of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. NJ.

Yes; It's too bad" agreed the

There ensued an ominous pause.
You know" remarked Butt senten-
tiously, 'telephoning seems to be a
habit, bad habit. in Washington.
People are beginning to issue their
invitations by telephone. They phone
on the slightest provocation They
don't seem TO know when not to tele-

Work of the
Legislature
An Epifon,e of Doings at Madison

The senate has concurred in the
Gilboy bill, providing that no state
ment made by an injured person
within seventy-two hours of the time
of injury shall be used in any dam
age suit brought by him; the Nye
bill, making all persons who per-
formed military service for the
United States in time of war eligible
to county aid; the Johnson bill, pro
viding for payment in installments
Of expenses of repairing or construct
ing sidewalks; the Urquhart bill, pro-
viding for the licensing of farms for
raising protected fur bearing ami
mails, and a dozen bills relating to
fishing and hunting.
The first move in showing the bind
er tWine plant through the legislature
was made when the assembly passed
the bill as amended to a third read
ing by vote Of 81 to 49, This bill
was introduced early in the session
and provided for the appropriation of
revolving fund. The substitute
provided for an appropriation of
$4,000 to complete the plant and
revolving fund of 100000 this
year and 100000 in 1912. An at
tempt to amend the bill so the pris-
oners would not be required to work
more than eight hours each day was
voted down
The famous Wehrwein bill, which
gives the state uperintendent Of pub
lie instruction control of the entrance
qualifications to the university in
stead Of the university, was reported
into the assembly by the committee
on education for indefinite postpone
ment The measure provides that
graduates of free high schools shall
be admitted to the university without
examination.
The senate adopted a substitute for
the Hamper resolution, providing for
special legislative committee to con-
fer with the governor and capitol
building commission regarding pro-
posed changes of the plans for the
new statehOuSe. The substitute pro-
vides for a new chamber for the as
sembly in the north wing and the
abandonment Of the present assem-
bly, chamber in the west wing to other
purposes because it is too small.
The senate committee on judiciary
recommended the Johnson bill, Great
ing a new judiciary circuit, consisting
of Marinette, Oconto, Florence and
Forest counties, for concurrence.
The senate adopted by rising vote
resolution expressing it's sympathy
for Senator John NJ True of Baraboo
on the death Of his wife.
A substitute bill introduced by
Senator Sanborn, providing for the
participation of Wisconsin in the cen
tennial Of Perry's victory on Lake
Erie, was passed to engrossment in
the senate.
The bill to increase salaries of SUI
preme court justices to $4,000 was
killed in the assembly by vote OF
81 to 81. A supplemental bill for
the retirement of justices as COM
missioners of the court on $4,000 q
year met a like fate.
The teachers retirement fund bill
has passed the senate and it's supper
ers expect little opposition in the as
sembly.
The assembly passed the Gilbov
bill providing for automatic bell
alarms at dangerous railroad cross
fngs.
