LET THE BOYS GO FREE

Some time ago the following incident appeared in the Christ ian Herald "One Sunday morn ing a minister was requested to teach a lesson of Christian cou- rage to a class of convicts m the prison chapel. He had but just begun, when a prisoner asked permission to speak to him. Are you a Christian ," "Yes," was the surprised re- ply. "And a minister of the gospel ?" 'I am." "And yo'I have come down here to tell Us the meaning of Christian conr- age. Now, see here. Most of us fellows were brought here by strong drink. You lock us up and let strong drink go free. Why don't you lock up strong drink and let us go free? The reason you don't do it is be cause you havn't got the Christ ian courage
 Many a tortured mother-heart many a sin-bound prisoner is pleading Lock up the strong drink and let the boys go free. Isn't it about timein this land of the free and the home of the brave that our boys have an op-- portunity for true liberty.

The stranger In Guayaquil. In Ecua
dor, at once remarks one very curl
Gus feature of It's life and general ap-
pearance. We are used to seeing nets
over our horses in the summer, but
such an outfit as is required by the
donkeys in the tropics strikes the
stranger as ludicrous. The donkeys
are numerous in the city and are used
for all manner Of load purposes. from
baskets Of fruit to the carcasses or
butchers meat. In the morning a
string Of them may be seen trotting
through the streets with a load OF
fresh meat from the slaughter house.
which is situated outside the town.
The donkeys are all provided with
coverings around the fore legs, like
ordinary trousers, and with a protec-
ton over the ears against the mos
uuitoes. The Guayaquil donkey pre-
sents most comical appearance In
trousers, especially If his garment Is
embroidered, as It sometimes Is.

How japanese Speak Of Death.

AT Onsen-Gori Of Iyo province a
mans death is spoken Of as "he has
gone to Hiroshima to buy cotton" In
the same province the expression
changes to ito go to Hiroshima to buy
tea" at Echi-gori and to ito go to Hiro-
shima to buy tobacco" at Nii-gori. In
Buzen and Iwami they also say The
has gone to Hiroshima to buy cotton
The reason is that the people hate
to pronounce the inauspicious word
death" But why they have come to
limit the unknown destination to Hiro-
shima. remains a mystery. At Hagi OF
Choshu they say 'he has gone to Ma
gasaki to buy tea" when they want to
say q man is dead, but one knows not
why Nagasaki Of all other places has
been chosen. In this connection 1t
will be interesting to learn that the
Eta In Chikuzen province will bluntly
say when they refer to girl who has
been married, "She has found q place
to die at."-Dr. Enryo Inouye.

Foot Ball Saturday

The first game of foot ball to
be played in the city this season
will be played at the base ball
park next Saturday afternoon
when the Park Falls team will
be here for a game with the
Washburn High School. Coaches
Hyper and jerks feel confident
that their team will win and do
not hesitate in saying SO. The
Washburn team this year is con-
sidered much better than a year
ago and they are expected to
make a showing before the sea-
son is over. Two weeks ago they
defeated Ironwood and last Sat-
urday were defeated by the
Ashland team.

Never offer pound of poor butter
for sale. Better take it right out and
bury 1t In the back lot.
Do not move the cows faster than a
comfortable walk while on the. way to
the place of milking or feeding.
Probably no single cause tends more
to check milk secretion than the fail
ure to remove all the milk secreted at
the time Of milking.
The animal that is expected to make
you profit must be made comfortable.
Pleasant and comfortable quarters are
great feed economizers.
Bnttermaking can be readily reduc-
ed to a system and should be. 1t is
the slipshod way that causes SO much
poor butter to be sent to market.
Keep the tanks and udders Of the
cows clipped 1t is much easier than
to clean the parts before milking. 1t
helps to keep dirt out Of the milk.
To clip the cows all over once or
twice year will do them good.

taste to the full. for his friend, Dr.
Taylor of Lich6eld. whom he con-
trived when possible to visit at straw
berry time. was rather a noted fruit
grower. and when at his house it was.
as Johnson said. with gusto, Straw
berries and cream, toujours strawber-
ries and cream!' A voracious eater at
any time, Johnson's appetite for fruit
was almost limitless. Mrs. Thrale
tells us that he used often to eat half
a dozer peaches before breakfast, and
then frequently she had heard him
complain that never In all his life had
he quite as much wall fruit as he de-
sired, save once. The exceptional Oc-
casion was during visit to Lord San
dys' seat at Ombersley. The exact
quantity he then devoured has not
been recorded. but he was accused OF
clearing a whole wall side.-Pan Mall

WRITING on the subject OF
good roads for northern Wiscon-
sin. Bro. Staining of the Clark
County Journal published at
Withee, says that much is being
done to get settlers to settle up.
on the wild lands of the northern
half of the state but at the same
time the state seems to overlook
the necessity of seeing that tie
settlers are provided with good
roads to enable them to work
their farms to better advantage.
Minnesota recently passed a
bill providing for the building of
good roads through the northern
half of the state and the influx
of settlers to that territory has
been large. For excellent lands
Wisconsin cannot be beat and
people are now waking up to the
fact that one of the first things
needed by the new settler is
good roads and a bill should be
passed at the next legislature
providing for the building of
roads by the state through this
northern territory. The nom-
inees for the assembly and
senate from this district both
favor such plan and will do
their utmost to secure the
passage of such a bill at the next
legislature.
Southern Wisconsin mem bers
sof the state legislature who are
at all broad minded will lend
their aid for such a bill for what
will build up one section of the
state will in turn benefit the
other.
WISCONSIN republicans are
wondering what LaFollette will
have to say over the change of
heart of r. E. McGovern, the
republican nominee for Govern
or. In the last issue Of La
Follette's magazine the senator
comes out strong for McGovern
and says that he is entitled .to. the
support of all loyal progressive
republicans on his past record
in the governor chair-a record
of earnest and faithful cooper
alton with the legislature in
carrying to fullfiiIment every
pledge of the party made in
1910. LaFollette is bitter against
Roosevelt and now that Nc
Govern has stated that he will
throw his support to the "Bull
Moose" party republicans are
wondering just how LaFollette
will take it.
The adoption of a uniform build
ing code, the enactment oflaws regu-
lating the storage of gasoline .and
dynamite, the adoption of statue
prohibiting the sale of so-called par
lor matches, and the passage of law
providing for the giving of at least
one lesson each week in all public
schools on fire waste and fire pre-
vention are among the recommends
tions made by state fire Marshall
T. NJ. Purtell in his annual report to
Governor McGovern. The depart
ment also recommends the enact
ment of Legislation making it the
duty OF officers and members of paid
fire departments to inspect the
buildings and premises in the BUSH
ness districts monthly, and empow-
ering them to enforce the correc-
ton of hazardous conditions.

Maintain the Cows Vigor.

"Wheu was boy In Sunday school ]
was taught that God made the COW to
give milk for man. With all reverence
would say that God never made such
specimens as are here before us. These
are the creations of man, evoluted from
Gods original creature. The original
COW simply gave milk long enough to
maintain her calf. She was not capable
of assimilating much food. Through
selection, breeding and proper feeding
man has developed the dairy COW to her
present high state OF production. !! be-
iieve we have reached the limit and arc
approaching the danger line. There is
. Law of breeding that when We develop
one organ to tho extreme We reduce the
power of other organs. Many instances
are coming to my notice sterile OF
cows and heifers developing udders and
giving milk even before they are preg-
nant, an increasing number Of sbortions,
ali indicative Of . reduction Of vital force
and . diminution Of the reproductive
organs. Unless physical vigor 10 main

rather than advance In production.
