paid advertisement, published by re-
quest of John Ringle. candidate
for Mayor.

Extract from a history of Wausau
written by Louis Marchetti and pub
lished in the Saengerfest publication
in June, 1905, relating to our city
water works:
"To Mr.. John Bingle's administra-
ton belongs the credit of having
inaugurated this greatest public
Improvement which is still the
pride of the city. Many cities as
for instance Oshkosh, Appleton,
Ashland and others gave fran
chise for the construction of water
works to private corporations al
about the same time that Wausau
constructed its municipal works,
and everyone of the cities regrets
ever to have allowed the sale of
water to pass out of it's control. If
Mr.. Ringle had done nothing else
than TO secure to the people of Wau-
sau the absolute control of its munic-
ipal water works he would be
entitled for that alone to the
grateful remembrance of the peo-
pie. The works were to be paid for
in bonds to the amount of $4,000
and in cash $4,000.
These works have proved a bless
ing to Wausau. Not only are the
rates here lower than in any other
city, not excluding those who also
have municipal plants, but they
have brought net surplus to the
city for a number of years, which
last year was $4,000 over and
above the operating expenses, besides
giving ample fire protection.
Mr.. John Ringle came to Wausau
with his parents in 1859, being then
IL years of age. He is product of
the Wausau schools, having had
only one years instruction in the
university at Madison. He has
been county clerk and member of
assembly for three terms, and sena-
tor for this district; also post
master of Wausau from 1893 to
1897. and often a member of the
county board. In all these positions
he proved himself not only able
and competent but took leading
part. He was chairman Of the
County Board which ordered the
building of the present Court House,
and mainly through his influence
favorable action was secured after
the resolution for the erection Of
the new building had been once de-
feated"

KNEW THE CODE HIMSELF
Former Telegrapher Corrected the
Error of TWO Young Men in a
Memphis Hotel.

One whose ear has been trained to
read intelligently the click of a tele-
graph instrument sometimes puts this
raining to the test under strange. con-
iitions. An instance, which resulted
in embarrassment, apologies, and
finally in pleasant acquaintanceship
among the persons concerned, is told
by a certain Ohio farmer who spent
his early years in the employ of the
Western Union Telegraph company.
Some years after impaired health
had driven him from the telegraph of
fee to the farm, he and his wife were
spending a short vacation in the
south. While they were dining in a
hotel in Memphis two young men en-.
tered and seated themselves at the
same table with the couple from the
west.
After survey of The strangers, one
Of the youths took W his fork. and
tapping it in an apparently careless
way against the edge of his plate,
spelled out in the Morse code:
DO you think they are bride and
groom?''
Yes. surely" tapped his companion.
Just watch how soft they are"
Immediately, to the dismay of the
young men, the fork of the supposed
bridegroom joined in the conversation.
With great rapidity it tapped out:
Gentlemen, you are mistaken. We
have been married FIVE years. and
have three children. Youths Com
panion.

HIS RECOVERY WAS SUDDEN
Passes to the Ball Game Worked a
Speedy Cure of Mr.. Jack

Dan Lane, the well-known stock
broker, and also a director Of the
Armory club, was commenting OH the
actions of a fighter in some nearby
town. The fighter in question had ap-
parently been all In up to the last
round, when he came back and put
out his man.
What do you make of it?" asked
the friend.
tits like a friend of mine named
Jackson" replied Mr.. Lane. Jack
sons wife had a habit of thinking up
little odd jobs for him to do on his
day off, so he concocted a scheme by
which he should be sick on his day Of
rest.
Everything went well until after
dinner and he was allowed to stay in
bed. Early in the afternoon his wife
entered the room and asked him if he
didn't feel little better.
NO." he answered, I'm sick
man; too sick to go puttering around
the house, putting on screen doors
and other such things"
'1t isn't that, DEAR" she replied,
but Jones is out here with two
passes for the ball game"
II, er-er, I am, er, I am feeling a
little better" he said, getting out of
bed.-Boston Traveller.

THINK TOO MUCH OF MONEY
Many Persons Lose Chance of Happy
Marriage by Exaggerating the
Value of Wealth.

Scores of people lose their chances
Of being happily married through max
ing an unnecessary obstacle of mon
ey. The Importance of it is often ex-
aggerated. Many man hesitates to
propose to girl because of his small
income. Very often much misery, mis-
understanding, and tangled rives result
from the silence. More unfortunate
love affairs are the result of what has
not been said than Of spoken words.
When man has small, sure in
come, and a prospect of increase,
there is no legitimate reason for his
not speaking of his love; no reason,
for that matter, to prevent marriage.
People are so desperately afraid,
though, Of beginning married life in
small way. They fear the sacrifices
which they will be called upon to make
of the criticism to which they will
be subjected. Many years of happi-
ness are lost in this way. 1t is such
a mistake for young people to want to
start marriage in the state that their
parents are ending it.
To delay marriage until "comfor-
table" income is available is to prove
something lacking in the love.-An-
swers.

RIGHT CHILDHOOD is MODEST
WelI-Bred Youngster Does Not Think
That 1t Knows Everything,
Says Ruskin.

The first character of right child
hood is that it is modest. A we'll
bred child does not think it can teach
its parents, or that it knows every
thing 1t may think its father and
mother know everything perhaps
that all grown-up people know every
thing; very certainly it is sure that
it does not And it is always asking
questions, and wanting to know more.
Well, that is the first character of
good and wise man at his work To
know that he knows very little; to
perceive that there are many above
him wiser than he, and to be always
asking questions, wanting to learn,
not to teach. No one ever teaches
well who wants to teach, or governs
well who wants to govern; it is an
old saying (Plato's, but 1 know not
if his, f1rst), and as wise as old.
Then, the second character of right
childhood Is 20 be faithful. Perceiv-
ing that its father knows best what
is good for it, and having found al
ways, when it has tried its own way
against his, that he was right and it
was wrong, a noble child trusts him
at last wholly, gives him its hand,
and will walk blindfold with him, if
he bids it. And that is the true char
acter of all good men also, as ODE
dent workers, or soldiers under cap
tains.-Ruskin.

To the Voters Of Marathon County:

pride that / publish the list of gen
tlemen residing in the city of Wausau,
who have put me in nomination for
reelection as Municipal Judge, COM
prising as it does, men of all parties
and all conditions in life. / have re-
ceived similar lists from nearly every
village and Town, too numerous to
print, which may be examined at my
Office, except those filed with the i'll
ing officer, the county clerk, where
they are open to public inspection.
The above list was taken in the city
of Wausau, every one without any
personal solicitation from me, all Of
which are men who have had occasion
to observe the manner in which |
have discharged my duties, and no
doubt, they are satisfied that the Mu-
nicipal court of Marathon was free
from political and corporation infu-
ence, and so believing they have ex-
pressed their desire for my reelection.
Thanking all those gentlemen for
their expression of confidence in me,
| assure them, as well as all the peo-
pie, that if elected, | will to the best
of my ability by my conduct endeavor
to earn their confidence in the future
as | have in the past. The following

SENATOR STEPHENSON retains his
seat in the upper house, as the old
saying is 'just by the skin of his
teeth" 1t is not victory of which
to be proud. There was no occasion
for his home city to unfurl their flags
from their liberty poles, nor to boom
cannons. Seventy-four votes were
cast as to whether he should or should
not retain his seat; thirty-four voted
''no." which is SO strong condemna-
tion of Stephenson's methods, that the
junior member should pack his grip
and quietly return to his home in
Marinette, and by rubbing up against
his lumber piles and standing timber,
try to forget that he ever tried to be-
come a statesman by the money
route and made a lamentable failure
of it. 1t is strange that the most
ordinary men who have been lucky
enough to get within the circle OF
the rich, at once lays plans to either
capture seat in COMPRESSOR the U. 5.
Senate and if he is real simple and
many times a millionaire, he wants to
be president.

Fortunate PrlbiIoff islanders.

A curious and interesting people are
the Pribiloff Islanders in Bering sea.
When the United States government
took over the islands, along with
Alaska, the Russian colonists became
in a measure wards of the nation, but
they have remained true to the infiu-
ence to which they were first sub
jected, and in some respects are to-
day more Russian than American at
heart. All of them are members OF
the Russian church, and all of therz
have Russian names, selected for the
most part from among the nobility
The United States government has in
this instance been faithful guardian
Of a primitive people. The result is
that today they are the most highly
civilized, best clothed, best fed, and
most healthy of all the natives Of
Alaska.

Temperatures of Volcanoes.

Scientists have recently secured an
accurate measurement of the temper
ature of boiling lava in a crater. The
experiment was a very dangerous one,
and it was considered a triumph of
precaution no lives were sacrificed in
making the test.
The crater of Killauea in Hawaii
was selected for examination. The
work progressed very slowly. For a
long time 1t was impossible to obtain
results, but after several thermome-
tiers had been destroyed a pyrometer
was substituted to advantage. The
temperature recorded was 1910 de-
grees centigrade, which is the same
as 1850 degrees Fahrenheit. Iron is
still unmelted at this heat, but gold,
silver and copper become molten
mass at lower temperature.-Har

In Praise Of Courage.

Certain virtues are divided from
vices by so narrow line that we must
discern very clearly TO see the differ
ence. Few men can distinguish pride
from vanity; perseverance from stub
oornness; economy from avarice. The
same is true OF courage as distin-
guished from effronte-y. The courag-
eous man must have ambition, not
merely dream Of what he would like
10 have. The audacious have been
found fault with for their brutality in
overcoming all obstacies-but force is
necessary to accomplish any real pur-
pose.-Chicago American.
