NORWICH TOWN
Possibilities and Opportunities in Wisconsin Mission Field Described -Yantic Rector at Sheitering Arms Successful Opening of kirmess- Perfect Attendance Report.

Rev. M J. Fenenga addressed good sized audience at the First Con- gregational church Sunday evening, beginning with the statement that old New England has been planting itself in the west, and such are the fine characteristics of it's representa- tives that we wonder sometimes if there are any good people left in New England. But these people who are settling northern Wisconsin come from poverty and suspicion in their home land, yet some day in that re- zion of intense cold and snow the struggle to live there will develop men and women of calibre you sim ply can't imagine.
 There is wonderful broadening of a life far away from help in sudden need-far from a doctor, but strength, the tender touch, comes-they are men and brothers then. These people have tested depths you have never touched, It Is a splendid thing to come up against such liyes-no second rateness, but the real thing you are up against humanity that almost shocks you by its bigness, You would get a new grip on life as you looked into the faces Of men and women with splendid education who were hunted fer their lives because of their love of freedom and have escaped here. Nigh ty forces are working which in time will powerfully affect our government. We can see things go and see lives changed in a wonderful way out there faster than you can here.
 Feur-fifths of that region is waiting far the inSDiFatian and helD of trlIe l leaders, The young men trained in the school at Ashland are solving the problems of leadership. of right foun- dations, as they could not otherwise be solved. What we want is to get hold of two young men from each of the eighty settlements te train. Re- turHing to their homes, the commer- cial, educational and religious life of the community is in their hands. The day of heroism is not over; you and ! live among big things.

HIS WAY.

Never heard him blame the woftA Fer the troubles that it brought; Never heered him rail at life Or express a gloomy thought: Seen in rainin' pitchforks, when Outside labor he had planned; All he said wuz: After this
 Won't the sun be simply grandf" Seen him shoulders high with care, Didn't know which way t turn Troubles, troubles. everywhere; Never, far as l can learn, Walled an whimpered at his fate; Took 'em smiling, one by one; Telling folks: When these are past What comes nextn jes' be fun" Seen him t the hubs in mud,
 Wagon stuck, an horses tired; Never growledF about the road, Never kicked COZ he wuz mired; Rested fer a while an said
 TT the hosses: Never mind. Jes' g rod or two ahead
 Easier goin' we will find" Seems his woes appealed t him, Jes' as sugar does t boys: Used 'em, too, in jee' that way, Made 'em sweeten up his joys. Allus lookin' jes' beyond
 The edge O trouble to the day (Havin' known the bangs O strife) He'd appreciate his play.

Is there any luck in a horse
shoe?
Twenty-Five years ago as Joe
Bachrach, a clerk, was plodding
up the dsuty road from the N. p.
dock, his dreams were of the ORR
ent, good clerkship with Lii
lienthal & Co. in Yokohama. He
had just interviewed the captain
of an Orient bound steamer. He
didn't have much money, but he
did have a fund of energy and
was quick to act on impulse.
He stumbled over something
in the road and turning, found a
horse shoe, just a common horse
shoe that had been thrown by
some truck horse hauling freight
to the steamer. The points stuck
out right for luck.
Right then Joe Bachrach, clerk.
decided that he did not want to
go to Yokohama. He was going
to remain in Tacoma and make
his fortune. He carried the
horse shoe home.
Brought Him Fortune.
Today Joseph Bachrach, mem
ber of the firm of Feist & Bach
rach, dry goods merchants, has
that fortune. He's still got that
horse shoe and 1t is gilded and
decorated with handpalnted flow
ers.
THAT may sound as IL I'm su-
perstitious," said Mr.. Bachrach
when the Times man questioned
him about 1t. But II there was
any charm 1t surely worked for
me-"
