Obituary.

Ulster county, N. Y, March Is, 1850,
and died at the hospital in GAINESVILLE,
May 8, 1912.
At the age of 95 he came west, set
Ting in the town of Porter, and on
March Is, 1886, was united in marriage
to Miss Florence L. Arid, moving from
Porter to Edgerton some time after
their marriage. To this union were
born four daughters, Marian, Mrs. Ed
ma Usher, Hazel, Jessie, and one son,
Paul.
For some time Mr.. Stone has been
afflicted with cancer of the bladder and
a short time ago was taken to the hos
pital for an operation which he under
went on Thursday of last week and on
Friday at o'clock he passed away.
The remains were brought across the
country here Saturday by Undertaken
Tellefson and taken to his late home.
Funeral services were held from the
Methodist church Monday afternoon,
conducted by Pastor Maclnnis, where
relatives and friends went to pay last
respects to a loving husband, kind faith
er and obliging neighbor. lnterment
was made in Fassett cemetery.
Besides the bereaved wife and chill,
dren, there are three sisters and one
brother in the East who are left tt

Observance of Mothers Day.

AS Governor McGovern has issued a
proclamation requesting the citizens of
Wisconsin to observe Mothers day,
Memorial day and Flag day, which has
not heretofore been done by a gov
ernor, and whereas the Woman's Re-
lief Corps has been honored by being
mentioned by name in one of these
proclamations, I therefore issue an ap..
peal for the observance Of Mothers
day, the second Sunday in May. Let
not one of us forget to wear the white
carnation, the flower which has been
chosen as a fitting emblem because it
is so lasting and white and fragrant
and in every way symbolic of faithful
ness and purity and love. If it is not
possible to obtain the flower let us don
some other flower or even bit OF
white ribbon to show the world about
us we haven't forgotten that mother is
still near and dear to us. Let Mothers
day, the second Sunday in May, be me-
mortal day, and spare no pains to scat
ter sunshine and happiness in memory
of mother. LIZZIE WILLIAMS,
Patriotic Inst.

MRiu Men and Crime"

"Big, healthy men seldom go
wrong" says a Kansas City judicial
oracle. cit is the thin, shrimpy type
who are the criminals" Yet a New
York financier recently convicted was
a 240-pound shrimp; another recent
Boston financier caught in Bombay
and brought back to Charlestown
prison was an anemic wisp weighing
$50 pounds; still another Boston brok-
er who trimmed everybody in State
street before going to anguish at the
Charlestown reception house exceeded
the 250-pound limit of physical deli
cacy.
More and more frequently is it be-
ing proved that. assertions are totally
independent of information.

The Real Story.

Anciently there lived a certain man
by the name of George, who was much
pestered by a dragon.
The dragons colors were never
twice alike, and by that the creature
got on Georges nerves in a particu-
lar manner.
At length George fell to thinking,
and the very next time he was asked
what he would have he replied:
Never again!"
Moreover, he stuck to it.
est. George!" shifted his boon COM
panions ironically.
But posterity spoke of him without
irony, remembering only that he had,
by the exercise of a superb courage,
slain the dragon.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKETS
Continued From Page ~

the help needed. Last years area was
between 16, 900 and 1900 acres, and
this years will be no less.
Crops have been bought lately as low
as eight and nine cents, but, as rule,
it is about all the tobacco was worth.
Some sales were reported at ten and a
half and ten and three-Quarters cents,
and the tobacco is said to be worth it.
Opinions differ as to the quality of the
new crop, though, of course, in judging
it's merits an interested party is not to
be depended on, because his judgment
is bound to be biased, and the opinions
of disinterested parties vary. 1t is too
early, to be sure, for anybody to say
how the new packing may turn out, but
it looks as though it will be satisfac-
tory goods.

by O'Neil's recent protest against Billy
Papke, who went to France after hav-
ing refused at the eleventh hour to
meet Frank Mantell here. The French
authorities decided to take no action
against Papke. but the incident en-
phaslzed the need Of an international

Rosseau has advised the New York
