VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

We notice in The Dodgeville Chron-
icle of last week an article in reference
to one of our auto drivers; how patient
he remained under trying circumstanc-
es and serious financial loss; and how
on an imaginary occasion, he prayed
for the road boss of the town of Dodge
vile. We are inclined to think that
his prayers were not more ferveut than
those of many others who have to
travel the same road - and in most
cases the prayers are Of nature to
send man down rather than up.
We would suggest, as last word
that if this road boss fails to look after
those rocky points why do not those en-
ergetic business men of the county seat
take matters in their own hands and
send out a couple of men occasionally
to clean up those hills? 1t might be
some inducement for people to patron
ize you more literally, and would be
a source of pleasure to the travelling
public.
Visit our city, and see what our bust
men and auto owners have done.

CORNlSH-AMERICAN CLUB
Annual Picnic. .-When? - August IL.
1912. l.-Where?- Park,
Chicago. Many Former
and Present Mineral
Pointers There.

On Saturday, August II, the mem
bers of the Cornish American club
with their families and invited guests
assembled on the beautiful grounds of
Lincoln Park, for their fifth annual
outing and picnic.
The party numbered several hundred
and it certainly was jolly crowd.
The time was delightfully."- spent in re-
newing old acquintances telling good
old Cornish yarns, and carrying out
the program of base ball, foot racing,
etc, all of which was entered into with
vim.
Beautiful prizes We're awarded the
winners of the various races for first
second and third places.
There were the married mems race,
young men race, and several for boys
of various ages.
Then the married women's, young
women's and girls races, graded as to
age, down to those of three and four
years old.
Two Mineral Pointers entered, one
the married women's, and the other, the
young women's race. In the first in
stance the party dropped out because
she could not continue in a "Grace" -ful
position, and in the latter because she
was left so far in the rear.
A novelty was the three legged men $
race in which the English champion
took part (and the winner of every race
of this kind entered in this country.)
This race is made by two men being
tied at the ankles and using them (the
tied feet) together, and each with one
free foot, making novel race indeed.
Four pairs entered, but the champion
and his mate easily secured first place.
There was also a prize for the Oldest
man and woman and the youngest
child. The former was won by a Mr..
Rowe, 80 years old, and the latter by a
child of months. AS each group ar
rived large lunch baskets were in evi-

display of good things as one seldom
sees, and Cornish at that.
Such beef and tatie pasties. saffron
buns and all the other good things that
only one versed in the art of supplying
the wants of good Cornish appetite
know how to make
1t was a repast such as would tempt
the "king" or any of our aspirants for
the Office of president.
This club was oraniZed gve years ago
Iof social pleasure, but it is also doing a
good work for those coming from
across the water by helping them
secure employment in good places and
in procuring good homes for single peo.
pie to board.
1t was one of the cleanest and most
orderly affairs the writer ever attended
and reflected great credit on the Office
and members.
Those present from Mineral Point
were: Mrs. and Mrs. Nicholas Brewer,
Mr., and Mrs. f. A Jenk ms, Thomas
Brewer, Nicholas Brewer, Jr., Mr.. and
Mrs. James Penhallegon, Mrs. Annie
Grace. Miss Jennie Jones, Mr. and
Mrs. A. Penhallegon.

During recess taken yesterday 1t was learned that of the IS members of the grand jury one was a bachelor, the for lorn creature being R. A. Brown, the well known real estate dealer, sometimes known to his intimate friends as Buster Brown" The grand jury decided that a man as good looking and as prosperous as B. B. had no business being a bach elor, and the chances are that true bill will be found gainst him by ,.-e members of the jury for a failure to do his duty to himself, his state and his country.
 MT. Brown stated that the suggestion was made because misery loves company, and the 1T benedicts were envious of the freedom he enjoyed. However, he said that he was willing to marry under certain conditions, which were that the lady to share his tender and chaste affections should be rich, good looking and crazy.
 When asked to explain, MT. Brown stat ed that the girl he would marry would have to be rich and good looking or he would not have her, and if she was not crazy she would not have him
 "Them's my sentiments" came in loud tones from Hugh Locke. who is also going 1t alone and in the event the grand jury should attempt an indictment it Is un- derstood that the accused will find a champion and defender in the handsome, youthful and distinguished assistant so- licitor.
