Without question, the Scots curler
Of whom Lord Lyveden tells in Fry'S

his sport.
During a recent curling-match In
Switzerland, the skip of one of the

was heard to address him in the fol-

Individuality.

No process is so fatal as that which
would cast all men IN one mold. Every
human being is intended to have a
character OF his own. to be what no
other is. to do what no other can do.

true is quite another matter 1t is
hard in writing of Robin Hood to sift
fact from legend. This story can but
tell the popular version of his career
without vouching for it's entire truth
Robin Hood is said to have been
born in 1160 and to have been no
bleman's son who, through injustice,
was outlawed He took refuge in
Sherwood forest, in Nottinghamshire
England. There he gathered about
him a band OF unfortunate men as des-
perate as himself, and prepared to
make war on the world at large.
1t was a rude, violent age. Human
life was held lightly. Laws were bar
barous. For shooting deer in the roy
al forests the penalty was torture and
(for the second offense) death. The
barons and other rich and powerful
men could overtax and ill-use the poor
almost without restraint. Persons who
suffered under such tyranny had usu-
ally no redress. Often they reyenged
themselves by plundering their for
mer masters and by preying on human
ity at large. Says one old historian
(Stow).
In this time were many robbers and
outlaws, among which Robin Hood and
Little John, renowned thieves, contin-
ued in the woods, despoyling and rob-
bling the goodies of the rich. The said
Robin suffered no woman to be OBJ
pressed or molested. Poore mems
goodies he spared; abundantlie reliev-
ing them with that which by theft he
got from the houses of the rich. OF
all thieves Major (an early writer) af-
firmeth him to be the prince and the
most gentle theefe"
Robin and his band dwelt in the
greenwood, patrolling the highroads
and holding, up rich travellers. Espe-
cially did they enjoy capturing dishon-

FELLOWSHIP CLUB MEETS

Last evening the Fellowship club
met in the Presbyterian church parlors
and e. S. Williams, missionary from
South America, gave an address on the
social conditions and the methods
used in farming. He stated that the
people are so superstitious that it is
almost impossible to teach them any,
thing. When young man wants to
court young lady he goes to church
and follows her home, staying about a
block behind her. If he gets any
closer the young lady's escort will tell
him to get away. Providing he stays
where be belongs, he receives encour
agement and finally is allowed to talk
to her through window. After that
comes the part of serenading her and
then he gets permission from the father
and can then see her.
The methods of farming are very
crude and the people do not want to
learn any new methods. They never
fertiIize the soil and in spite of this
fact raise abundant crops. South
America is the home of the potato.

MISCELL ANGUS SHOWER

Last evening at her home, 226 Third
avenue, Mrs. Earl Schilling entertained
sixteen girl friends in honor of Miss
Eva Wilcox, the event being a
mis cellaneous shower. The house was
prettily decorated in red aud white
and the feature of the evening was a
wheel also decorated in red and white.
The wheel contained sixteen spokes
and on each spoke was beautiful pres
ent from each of the girls. Miss Will
COX spun the wheel and took the pres
emit from the spoke which pointed
toward her until all of the presents
were taken off. This caused much
enjoyment as we'll as keeping the MEM
bers of the party in suspense. Games
were played and all enjoyed them
selves socially until Frank Wilder and
Earl Schillinglannounced that a lunch
con was ready. The young men were
dressed in white and Immediately be-
gan to serve the three course luncheon.

WORK Of THE
HUMANE OFFICER
Much Good Has Been aAc-
complished During the
Past Few Months.

The Sank County, Humane society is
a branch of the Wisconsin Humane
society and was organized March %,
1912, with E.P. McFetridge, presi-
dents George T. Thuerer, vice-presI,
dent; l.. S. Van Orden, treasurer; and
F. A. Philbrick, secretary and super
intendent. Since it's organization
Officer Philbrick has received over
hundred complaints from all parts of
the county and has Investigated 81 of
these; put teams in the barn out of
the cold; made three arrests; total;
fines collected being $21.60; had 5
crippled horses ordered from the city
stopped four delivery boys from
abusing delivery horses; made one
man unload part of load where the
team was over loaded; stopped the
neglect and abuse of an old lady;
found homes for three children; shot
/ one dog; had one horse shot; one man
arrested and fined for not taking pro-
per care of his horses and not watering
them for ten days; ordered several
horses fed and watered, put 175 tags
on horses with printed statement on
each asking the owner to provide his
horses with fly nets; in most cases the
request was complied with.
Baraboo has about 10 members and
Reedsburg has about 81, making q
total of 257 members who signed to
help protect the poor, neglected,
abused dumb animals and children.
AS only $3.50 cash has been received
only little can be done, and it is
hoped that those who believe in this
good work will contribute something
towards it. We believe that auk
county should set aside a certain sum
each year for this work. In other
parts of the state where these societies
are in force the county board has set
aside an amou mt each year and Sank
county should not be behind in this
work.-Secretary.
