Albert Bellin, seven-year-old-son
of John Bellin, in the town of Maine,
while watching the cattle in the
woods, along in the afternoon fell
asleep. When he awoke it was nearly
night and the castle had gone. Not
knowing which way to go he became
lost in the deep woods. He wandered
around for six days. His parents and
friends in the meantime put forth
every effort in their power to find
him. On the sixth day, Sam Stewart
found the boy lying upon the margin
of a small brook too weak and emaci-
ated to speak. He took him up and
carried him to his parents. A few
days of careful nursing and the little
fellow will be well again, but will
probably never forget his childhood's
experience of ''lost in the wilds of
Wisconsin"

A COLD BATH.

Louis Dessert took rather precipi-
tate plunge into the ice cold waters of
Cures lake one day last week. Incom-
pany with Geo. Parker and II. Rode
he was engaged in looking over some
timber on the island and in the course
of their meanderings it was necessary
to cross the slough at the lower end
of the lake. Louie didn't just like
the looks of the ice so he made Par
ker and the other fellow cross first.
They got over all right and he VEN
tured forth himself. But he is either
heavier than he thinks or the ice was
weakened by the passage of the 9TH
er two men. Anyway he broke through
and was extricated with no little diffi-
Guilty. However, he finished the work
in hand before he returned home for
a change of clothing and showed the
next day none the worse for the ad-
venture Mosinee Times.

WE OUGHT TO GET 1T.

With the business men OF Merrill,
Stevens Point and Wausau united in
their efforts TO secure the 500 rail-
road, it seems that there ought to be
no difficulty in getting it. The idea is
to start from Prentice, run to Merrill
and then down the Wisconsin river
valley. This with Isse Chicago &
Wisconsin Valley interurban road,
should give the cities along the pro-
posed lines plenty ofrailroad facilities.
With the water power question
settled and the prospect OF enough
cheap electric power every city in the
valley should double its population
in the next ten years. Vast electric
power is an asset to our cities as
much as the oil and coal is an asset
to growing cities in Pennsylvania.

FOOT BALL.
Wausan Won From Grand Rapids Last
Saturday.


Last Saturday marked the close Of
the local high school foot ball season
IN = double header game with Grand
Rapids, at which time Wausau won.
both contests, the first by the score of
Ii TO O, the second 26 to 9. Both
games were excellent exhibitions of
clean, hard, foot ball. Grand Rapids
spurred on by the victories of past
years was determined to maintain its
record, while the smooth running
machines of the locals gave evidence
OF a preparation and training, which
nothing but victory would satisfy.
The opposing teams gave one of the
best exhibitions of football ever wit
messed here and reflect great credit
upon their coachers, their high schools
and themselves.
FIRST GAME.
The Wausau second team established
a record of a successful season last
Saturday by defeating the Grand
Rapids team Is to O, thus closing the
season Of three games with its goal
hne uncrossed and with three clean
cut victories to its credit.
Grand Rapids having the advan-
tage in weight and experience looked
the. more formidable as the teams
lined up for the kickoff. They re-
ceived the bah at lie east goal and
at once began . march across the field
which looked like a sure touchdown.
Nausau braced however and the ball
changed hands only to be lost again
to the visitors. Here a tumble by
Grand Rapids was recovered by Smith,
left end, who raced 80 yards through
broken field for a touchdown. 1t
was one of the prettiest runs ever
seen on the local gridiron.
Forward passes and end runs by
Wansau ran the ball again to the 3
yard line where Grand Rapids held
and at once punted out of danger.
The second aud third quarters were
marked by steaoy consistent foot balls,
honors being about equally divided.
A shift formation and quarterback
run, together with the old "shoe
string" play netted Grand Rapids it's
greatest gains. Wausau was much
stronger on open playing, end runs
and forward passes and in defensive
work showed fiashesof first team form.
The tendency of Grand Rapids to
tumble, coupled with the aggressive
defense of the locals was also respon-
sible for the result.
In the fourth quarter Wausau in
creased her speed, strengthened up on
defense and soon sent Capt. Weinkauf
over for the second touchdown. Trick
formations and accurate forward
passes almost seemed another touch
!, down before the whistle blew.
Both teams are to be congratulated
for their good spirit and hard fight
ing. 1t was clean cut victory in
which aggressiveness and fight over
came weight and speed inan excellent
exhibition of modern foot ball.

e. 8.
Grand Rapids outweighed Wausau
at least 10 pounds to the man but
was surpassed in speed, in the use of
the forward pass and in general
knowledge of the game. Both teams,
however, put up fine showing. The
Wausau eleven should be congrat-
ulated not only upon its showing at
this game but for its entire seasons
record.
The lack of weight and experience
so noticeable at the beginning of the
season gave place toa smooth run
ming machine, transformation very
noticeable. last Saturday. The season
has been astccess, not only financially
but in all ways. Since credit is due,
it should be placed first upon Coach
Wolfe, whose knowledge of the game,
and skill in coaching made possible n
winning team; also upon the boys
themselves who gave all they had and
played hard to win; again upon the
school body which has shown a re-
markable spirit of boosting and sup
port, and finally but by no means
least upon the school administration
whose sympathy aud snnDCrt has
evidenced itSelfsthe entire sesson.
