Fortunes Spent in Trousseaux.

The elaborate trousseaux of men,
bers of the smart set would have made
queen bride of a century ago open
her eyes with amazement. 1t is an
ordinary thing for the daughter of
millionaire on getting her bridal fin
cry ready to order 20 or 80 hats,
trimmed with ostrich and other feath-
ers, to harmonic with as many
gowns. Every gown needs a distinct
hat. The equipment of rich bride
is looked on as incomplete if it does
not contain at least 80 gowns and
such a trousseau does not mean the
bride will get no more dresses for a
year. When lingerie and little orna-
me1ts also are taken into considera-
ton, 1t is plain a young girl In New
York's smart set must spend many
thousands of dollars for her outfit and
several women have spent $4,000 to
100000.

LARGE TREES.
Some of the Monarchs of the Forest
Still Owned by Some of
Our Farmers.

Recently, Carl A. Zemke, of the
town of WauSau, whose farm is less
than four miles from the city limits,
cut hemlock tree from which he
took two logs eighteen feet long; one
sixteen feet long and three logs twelve
feet long, besides the length of one
log of the tree was broken so that it
could not be used for lumber. This
Tree was four feet four inches in
diameter at the stump. The six logs
scaled 2S70 feet. Mr.. Zemke figures
that the tree was about 40 feet high,
and he counted 302 rings on the
stump which he calculated made the
tree 302 years old. A neighbor, VIM.
NJ. Nineman, has cut two hemlock
trees which were still larger. All of
the trees were what they call "dry
trees" As soon as they died they
were cut. Mr.. Zemke has standing
white pine tree on his land that is
four feet through at the butt, and
which is over $50 feet in height. If
he had only few of those trees, at
present prices of white pine, he could
retire, ride in his auto, spend his time
in playing golf and sail around in his
aeroplane, if he felt SO disposed. We
are going to take hike out to Mr..
Zemke's some bright morning, just to
look at that tree.

Treatment Of Wet Shoes.

If you get caught in the rain with
good pair of shoes on, remove them
as soon as you enter the house, and
If you do not possess a pair of trees,
stuff them tight and hard with tissue
paper, squeezing it well into shape.
Wipe off all the mud with soft rag.
Place the shoes in draught, soles
upward, and let them dry slowly. On
no account put them to dry by the
fire.
Never forget to place your shoes on
trees or to stuff them with paper when
they are not in wear.

Remarkable Popular Ignorance.
You Will Regret 1t.

Some one has remarked that at
the height of Napoleon's fame there
were men in the back alleys of Paris
who had never heard his name. This
illustration of popular ignorance was
recalled by judge who was examin-
ing candidates for citizenship in New
York city recently. He asked one of
these prospective citizens, "Who is
the head of your native country?"
"The king" "Who becomes the head
when he dies?" His SON." "And
who is the head of this country"
"The president" "And who would
become the head If he died?" His
son." And yet, as the judge remark
ed, all these men know enough to
earn their daily bread-the rest is a
matter Of schooling.

The Wisconsin river has been rising
few inches each day the past week
and the water rushing through the
channels at present is as high as
usual under the prevailing conditi-
lions. The snow has been melting
away gradually this spring, and no
rain having fallen during the month
of March, the river has not had
sudden rise to endanger any property,
as was expected during the winter
The storage waters further north are
all at high water mark, but no fears
OF flood are entertained by manu-
facturers along the river, there being
no immediate danger unless heavy
rain showers set in. Preparations
are nevertheless being made by those
interested here in the city to ward
off any danger that may arise through
a sudden high stage of the water.
Valentine Throm, for over forty
years a resident of this city, died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. w.

was born in, Bavaria, but came to this
country in 1910. The lrst forty years
of his life he lived here in Wausau.
He is survived by six children, they
being: Mrs. Jacob Goetzmann, Mrs.
W. McEwen and Jos. Throm of
Wausau; Mrs. Johanna Warner of
Chicago: John Throm of Milwaukee;
Mrs. Rosin& Rose of Wautoma. The
funeral was held Thursday morning
from st. Mary's Catholic church, the
Rev. Father Casper officiating. In
terment was made in st. Joseph's
cemetery.
Tomorrow the Brooks & Ross Lum-
Der Co. will commence operations at
their mill in Schofield, after being

important repairs during the closing

cilitate the handling of finished lum-
Der.
