WHO HAS SKUNK SKINS?
G. A. Briggs Offers a Re-
ward of $4,000 for Arrest
of Guilty Ones.

G. A. Briggs has again lost skunk
skins. Ten is the number this time
and this is the third bunch that has
been stolen within the last four years.
This time two good padlocks were
either broken or unlocked and taken
with the skunk. 1t is problem with
Mr.. Briggs where to keep them safely,
as this is part of the fur business and
he must have skunk skins to manu-
facture. He would like some one to
devise plan or place where he can
keep skins without loss by theft.
Skunk skins are high and this makes
the temptation to steal stronger, as
black are quoted as high as $3.50 apiece
at this time. Mr.. Briggs offers a re-
ward of 500 for information that will
lead TO the arrest and conviction of the
guilty ones.

A Strange Coincidence.

Mrs. w. 7. Kelsey reports strange
coincidence about the story of the bear
hilled by threshing crew on Sauk
Prairie, as told in a previous issue of
this paper. She says that just the day
before the story was printed she was
telling the judge about the bear being
killed and about her father, mother
and herself going to the Hall home to
celebrate the fiflieth birthday of Mrs.
Hall and the tenth birthday of Mrs.
Kelsey, then little Miss Perkins. In
honor of the birthday of the aunt and
niece bear meat was served and Mrs.
Kelsey says that her mother would not
eat any of 1t. The next day after Mrs.
KELSEY had told this to her husband,
he picked up The News and said
"Why, look! Here is that very bear
story" The News proprietors did not
know that Mrs. Kelsey knew of the
story and Mrs. Kelsey had no idea
that editors mad ever heard OF the
story or intended to print it.

Concerning the Lang & Camp IRE
of forty years ago which has been
previously described, Mrs. E. Cowles,
nee Brett, says that on that day was
an i'll wind that brought some plea
sures. She recalls that the old pump
was about half way between the east
entrance of the old courthouse and the
side walk along the south side of the
park. She was one of those in the line
to pass the pals of water to the fire and
the empty buckets back again. Many
glass cans of stick candy were carried
across the street and thrown into the
park. Of course the cans broke and
1T was glorious opportunity for the
young ladies to get all the candy they
desired and they were not slow to en-
brace the opportunity. She recalls
that the fire, commenced about the
time the people of the Presbyterian
church were dismissed and that she
did not arrive home until late in the
evening. Candy was the only food
they had to eat through the day.

USED TCr WIN GIRL
Under the Guise of a Show
mans Son He Seeks
Minnesota Daughter.
ARREST SOON FOLLOWS
sAtorney John M. Kelley
Goes to Elbow Lake to
Show the Deception.
ARREST SOON FOLLOWS

According to an article in
the Saint Paul Pioneer Press, a
young man al Elbow Lake, Minneso-
ia, has come to grief as the result of
acting the part of son of Al. Ring
ling of Baraboo. In order to win a
fair daughter of the Gopher state, he
had letters sent to him from different
people and worked his correspondence
in such way that it was generally
believed that he was really BaraboO
Ringling. The authorities were not
able to show that the name of the
young man was not AL. Ringing but
the part he played was sufficient to
land him in Jail. The story from the
Minnesota paper reads as follows:
Al. Ringing, young man who has
been in North Ottawa township, south
of Fergus Falls, for several weeks,
was arrested and taken to Elbow
Lake on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. 1t is alleged
that he had obtained $15 from TheO-
dOre Goerdt of that township by
representing that he was son of AL.
Ringing, the circus Snowman. He
was convicted and SEN 'enced to thirty
days in Jail.
At the hearing, it developed that the
prisoners name really was Ringling
and that he had conceived the idea of
establishing his credit by claiming to
be a son of the Snowman.
He had been carrying on an eXten-
sive system of deception, having had
letter heads and paper printed with
the Ringing Bros. names and having
arranged to have letters forwarded to
him from various points, written on
this stationery and signed "AI Ring
ling.n These letters addressed him as
a son, and he was able to show them as
he went about the country. de
finally wrote to Al Ringling, the show
man, and asked HIM if be would not
write genuine letter acknowledging
him as his son. Mr.. Ringling's attor-
ney, John M. Kelley. Immediately
came out from Baraboo, Wis, to find
out what be was doing and his arrest
followed. The young man formerly
lived in Oregon. He says that his par
ents are dead. At the hearing. he made
a complete confession, telling what he
had been doing and promising to re-
form.

CLUB DISCUSSES
MANUAL TRAINING
Superintendent KingStord
Presents Paper on Voca-
tional Practice.
MEETING IN WORKSHOP
Why Should Girls Not Be
Taught to Use Tools?--
They Dull Them.
MEETING IN WORKSHOP

For the first time in it's history the
Fortnightly Literary club met on Fri
day evening in workshop. Seated
between workbenches covered with
planes, saws, hammers, chisels and
other tools, as we'll as samples of un-
finished work, the members listened
to an excellent paper on vocational
training as presented by Superintend-
ent A. G. Kingsford of the city schools.
There was an odor of fresh wood In
the room and the situation was ideal
for the discussion of the topic of the
evening.
Mr.. Kingsford said at the out:et that
his paper dealt with vocational train
ing more than with manual training.
He said that the part the school play
ed inlthe development of boy or girl
was overestimated, for the influence of
the home, the newspaper, the libraries
and the streets are also ever with the
child. Whether the results of his
training are good or bad, there are
other agencies which must be consid-
cred aside from the school.
At the present time foremen in great
shops must know all the details from
the bottom up and it is said that the
best foremen are being brought from
Europe.
He deplored the fact that boys,
raised in the cities had little oppor-
tunity to obtain experience. In the
village the boy may learn something
at his fathers carpenter, harness,
blacksmith or print shop but in the
city be is often raised in flat build
ing and at the place where his father
works he sees the sign:

The Bear That Left Tracks
In The Sandstone At
DurWard's Glen.
THE SEVENTH STORY.

Years ago, the late John :. Rich
naoad of Caledonia, was mighty
hunter. He at one time got on the
track of bear, which led him on a
long tedious tramp from Columbia
county into Sauk; back and forth, un-
til finally, luck was with the hunter
for the bear entered Durward's Glen.
The ancient hermit and recluse who
then owned the Glen, Geordgie Mearns,
by name, used to show the very rock
the bear walked across. The foot
prints of the lear can be seen today.
Mr.. Richmond followed the bear close
ly, and on the snake trail things be-
gan to hum, for both man and bear,
hunter and hunted, got ugly. The
hunter got his chance, fired several
shots into the bear, and it began to
look pretty serious for the hunter as it
proved stubborn beast to kill. Either
help came in the nick of time, or the
hunter got very busy and told the
bear he was doomed to die for he was
killed and the fame of the hunter went
abroad, as skilled in hunting as in read
ing heads. This rock, with bear tracks
upon it's surface is on the edge of the
brookside opposite the statue on the
rock and the Melzl quartet trees. Now
for proof of my story come and see the
rock at the Glen or ask Rev. Durward.

NO ADMITTANCE.

..... ..... .......- ..''''''''
Manual training in way takes the
place of the experience boy may
have in the village or country but does
not prepare him for his life work. LII
is only part of a liberal education the
same as his arithmetic or latin. His
whole time in the manual training
amounts to but few weeks and one is
not expected to learn trade in that
time.
After Mr.. Kingsford presented the
subject Mr.. Mcintosh told what was
being done in the manual training de-
parLment. Foot-stools, tables and
other articles made were exhibited.
The results of the drawing class were
also shown.
In the discussion so ne of the ladies
though that the girls should be given
the same privilege as the boys. 1t
was stated that this had been tried
but it was found that girls dulled the
tools. Laughter The members re-
gretted that there was not an oppor-

they were in school.

Among othe. things this contains the

where an effort has been made to
bring about an organization of the

the state authorities for the purpose
OF compelling the traders in eggs to

no question in our mind but that the

A trench should be dug to carry 1t

It Is important that the ground
around the house, as well as the house
itself, be kept dry, as fowls never do
well on wet land.
Special attention should be paid to
the roof. The caves should overlap
some three inches. and it is all the

There is no necessity to cover the

Such a house will be cold in the

PROPER HOUSING OF POULTRY
Chief Requisites Of Building Are
Dryness, Perfect Ventilation and
Plenty of Sunlight.
(By N. R. GILBERT.)

Frequently poultry keepers COM
plain bitterly Of the failure Of their
fowls to show profit, when the whole
fault lies in defective housing.
Poultry lead an entirely artificial
life when they live penned in a run,
or even when at liberty and provided
with a sleeping-house- Is to say
they have their food provided them
and do not sleep in the trees, as their
natural instinct would teach them@
It Is simply the difference between
sleeping in a house and sleeping In
trees that upsets them. When they
do the latter, they may not lay well
but they keep their health. More than
half the diseases modern fowls suffer
are caused primarily by this defective
housing. R
The chief requisites Of house are
that it should be weather-proof. so
that whatever the inclemency Of the
season, the fowls keep dry. 1t must
be provided with ample ventilation
and should have sunny aspect.
The sun is life to all animals, .and
the more fowls get Of 1t, the better.
Yet sometimes. fowl houses are
placed in dark, secluded corners, and
built to admit hardly any light A
