Some time before the issuance OF

appointed delegation of preachers
from New England called upon Presi-
dent Lincoln. Their speaker an
nounced that they were the delegates
of the Almighty, and with many -four
ishes about Moses and the prophets,

that the president issue the proclama-
ton freeing the slaves, says the Ma
tional Tribune.
When he had finished Mr.. Lincoln
quietly said to him:
Your reverence, If you call a
sleeps tail a leg how many legs would
he have?"
The speaker, as well as the whole
delegation, showed signs OF utter dis
gust, but his curiosity got the better
of him, and he answered: why, five.
Mr.. President"
you ali agree to this" asked Mr..
Lincoln.
They nodded assent.
Well" said the president, you are
wrong. A sheep has only four legs.
and calling his tail leg does not
make it SO"
The application was apparent. Issu-
ing a proclamation of freedom without
the ability to enforce It would be ridi-
culous.

CAMP FIRE

WITH SHERMAN TO THE SEA
One of Most Exciting Features Of
March Through Georgia Was Seek
ing for Buried Treasures.

A story of General Sherman's march
through Georgia, told by George Ward
Nichols, American author, who was a
member of Shermans staff Nichols
tells of the efforts of the Union sol
diers to obtain food, described as
treasure.
AS the rumors of the advance Of our
army through Georgia reached the
frightened inhabitants, frantic efforts
were made to conceal not only their
personal effects-plate, jewelry and
other rich goods-but also food, such
as hams, sugar, -four, and so on.
A large part of these supplies were
carried to neighboring swamps, but
the favorite method of consealment
was the burial of the treasure in the
pathways and gardens adjoining the
dwelling house Sometimes also the
graveyards were selected as the best
places of security.
Unfortunately for these people, the
negroes betrayed them, and in the
early part of the march the soldiers.
learned the secret. 1t is possible that
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1912-04-12

supplies thus hidden may have escaped
the search of our men, but II so, 1t was
not for the want of diligent explora-
ton.
With untiring zeal the soldiers hunt
ed for supplies. Whenever the army
halted, almost every inch of ground in
the vicinity was poked by ramrods,
pierced with sabers and upturned with
spades. The universal digging was
good for garden land.
But it was distressing to owners Of
the exhumed property, who saw it
rapidly and irretrievably confiscated.
1t was comical to see a group of these
red-bearded, barefoot, ragged veterans
punching the unoffending earth in an
apparently aimless, but certainly in a
most energetic way.
If they struck vein, spade was in
stantly placed into execution and the
coveted wealth speedily unearthed.
Nothing escaped the observation Of
these sharp witted soldiers. A woman
standing upon the porch of the house,
apparently watching their proceed
ings instantly became an object oe
suspicion, and she was watched until
some movement betrayed the place of
concealment.
The fresh earth recently thrown up,
a bed of flowers just set out, the
slightest change of appearance or posi-
ton, all attracted the gaze Of these
military agriculturists; it was all fair
spoils of war, and the search made one
of the greatest excitements of the
march.

GOLD MINES DISCOVERED
Gee, but our judges appear to

Judge Rufus Robinson, of the

But that little $1,000 momento
is not the worst. No, indeed
Probably Judge Robinson would
consider himself poor if all he had
in his possession were a note for
$1,000.
There is some consolation
he said today, ''in the fact that
the pickpocket overlooked $500 in

Hereafter our welI-known Chi

instead of to low, common, ordin-
airy millionaires, who only carry
a few tens around with them.

SPEED EVENT
SCHEDULED FOR MAY TO BE
GREATER THAN LAST YEAR.
Many Local People intedested and VIII
Undoubtedly Attend the
Bio Affair

Big Anair.
BY CARL G. FISHER.
president indianapolis Motor Speed
way.)
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 26-
Development OF the American-made
motor car is the chief reason why the
management of the indianapolis Motor
Speedway decided 10 stage the second
annual 5OO-mile international sweep
stakes next May 80. Up until the time
OF the hrst 5O0-nile race last year motor
cars had never been given a combined
high speed and endurance test in Amer
lea, except for some of the longer
events which had been held on the
Speedway in previous years.
The Speedway primarily was built 10
give the manufacturers an opportunity
10 test their product at any speed they
resired Since that time American
made motor cars have developed until,
instead OF being considered lightly when
they compete against foreign cars, they
are looked upon as formidable contend
ers and have proved that all they need
ed was an opportunity for development.
The first jOO-milc race. / believe. was
the greatest stride ever made IN this di-
rcction, so the second should prove even
greater.
Immediately following the first race.
which was held May 30. 1911. We were
besieged with hundreds Of requests TO
repeat the contest in 1912 Immediate
decision was not made at the time. but.
after the Speedway directors had thor
oughly considered every other form Of
contest and compared them with the 500
mile race, Il was decided that the most
satisfactory event which we could give
90 the public as an opener of the 1912
season IN the north was a second 500
mile international sweepstakes.
The success OF the fJa race was in
part reason for staging the second. 4
larger number Of cars finished the race
than We had anticipated. and the long
contest did not work the hardship upon
the drivers which II was feared would
occur.
/ The crowd which attended the race
was representative Of every state IN the
union.
Another reason why We have decided
| on second JOO-mile event Is that il
will tend 20 keep Indianapolis before the
motoring public a. one Of the great au-
tomobilc centers Of the world.
II Is likely that a large number Of
Wheeling people will attend. a. those
who witnessed the event last year wete
very euthusiastic on their return.

Dad Stevenson and c. NJ. Nagle en-
gagged In a nine pin game yesterday
afternoon and the final result found
Steve on the losing end. IL was the
nrst game OF nine pins rolled on the
Wheeling alleys for years.
The Pennsy team, which has been
entered in the various bowling leagues
throughout the city in the past year.
has disbanded. The cause il not
known, but II Is believed that owing
TO their unsuccessful work at the
national tournament Is attributed to
their disbandment. Nevertheless the
members of the team will reorganiZe
next fall under another name.
Since the return of the bowlers from
the American Bowling Congress at
Chicago. ILL.,. Bert Emblem. OF the
Wheeling club. declares that the diff
erence between a strike and q split is
the space. This declaration has never
yet been made.
Sydney Fox. of the Insurgents, who
rolled the highest individual score OF
any OF the Wheeling bowlers at Chi
cago. will probably be elected captain
OF the lnsurgent team, an honor which
Is well deserved owing TO his great
work at Chicago.
The Wheeling bowlors are consider.
Ing a match game with the Youngs-
town team. No challenge has yet
been issued, but II is understood that
one will be made in the near future.
Manager Bowers. OF the Club alleys,
is making various improvements about
his place OF business TO handle the
summer trade. II is expected that the
bowling business this summer will be
better than at any time heretofore.
Guy Pryor. Of the Anchors, one OF
the bowlers who attended the Amert.
can Bowling Congress at Chicago. be-
heves that the alleys had such
sticky substance on them that IL in.
terfered with the bowlers' work.
Local bowlers regret that this CITY

or the committee, and Mr.. Ennis re-
signed prior to the last election. VII.
liam Stevenson is a member OF the
National Bowling associations execu-
tive committee. and he is now the
only member of the local bowling
fraternity represented on a national
committee.
II is likely that Jimmy Smith. the
star bowler Of the United States. will
likely be seen on the local alleys dur.
ing the summer months. Smith was
mere year ago. and his work at.
tracted a great amount Of attention.
and with such men brought 20 the
city II Is likely that II will tend to
create more interest in the game.
