April II, 1912.
Drink and Safety

Railway companies are not bands OF
hope. They are not in the world for
a reform propaganda. They have an
eye to the one thing, that is to make
the roads pay. To this end they find
it essential to do everything they can
to prevent accidents involving damage
either to persons or to property.
Realizing the fact that liquor makes
es the risks of accident, the Lake Erie
and Western Division of the New
York Central lines has begun cam
paign against the use of liquor by
employees at all times, whether on or
off duty. Nearly all railroads forbid
the use of liquor while on duty The
tendency, as business managers learn
the close relation between drink and
accidents, will be more and more to
eliminate all drinkers, no matter how
moderate from positions of response
bility
The man who takes an occasional
glass is potential drunkard, but as
sot, he would probably damage only
himself and his family; as a moderate
drinker, he is probably on the road to
that nerve instability that makes for
train wrecks and other unavoidable"
disasters. Railway managers are
opening their eyes to this fact.-G. Fl.
Head, NJ. D., in Life and Health.

The Red Flag

An engineer gave his little girl a
small red flag to play with, and ex-
planned that on the road the red flag
signifies danger. "Would you stop
your train if you saw red flag on the
track?" she asked. Yes lie said,
cor there might be all accident" After
her papa had left, the little one found
her mamma crying. why are you
crying, mammal" she asked. The
mother gave no answer But as the
child saw the decanter on the side
board she said: "Is it because papa
drank some of that nasty brandy be-
fore he went to work." eyes, dear;
you see, he is getting worse, and will
surely lose his place. He thinks the
people do not notice, but they must
notice it. And he will, I fear, COM
pletely wreck his life"
The child did not forget her
mothers worry. All day long she
thought of what she might do to help,
and at last she thought of the red flag,
and what her papa had told her it
stands for. Going to the sideboard,
she firmly fastened the flag to the de-
canter, and then went to bed satisfied.
The father came home, went to the
-sideboard for the usual nightcap but
saw the flag and understood and
needed the warning-Selected.

This Brave Bear Stole a
Pig and Away He
Ran.
THE SIXTH STORY.

1t may not be generally known that
bears were at large In this vicinity as
1874 but such is true. That fall Gus
Sells was working for father while
father visited his old home in New
York. On a certain Saturday Gus
was blowing In field about 100 rods
east of the house. Father had a nice
bunch of shoats running in the woods
near this field. About 10 o'clock Sells
noticed that the pigs were making
considerable noise, so he called the
dog that had been following him and
started to see what the trouble was.
The dog went ahead. The pigs were on
the opposite side of clump of brush
and as Sells went around these he met
the dog coming back on the run. Sell
went few steps farther, then he came
back and as Billie Rrinson, who was
working in our neighborhood, told the
story, Sells beat the dog to the house.
There he related that there was a

big black bob tailed wolf eating one
of the pigs. My step-brother, Earl
Cranson and Edgar Swain were hunt
ing in the woods that forenoon and
when they heard the story they re-
turned with Sells to get the wolf.
They found the trail leading east
toward Patrick KelIy's land and there
found what was left of the pig.
Mr.. Bruin was not able to get his
plumber over the rail fence so left what
be could not eat and there the boys
lost the trail. That night as E. K.
futile was returning home from choir
practice he met what he supposed was
an immence black dog in the road
near where William Little lives. Next
morning as my wife and [ were going
to call on some friends, on Webster's
Prairie and when near the Catholic
cemetery, we met boy on horse back
who SAID bear had just crossed the
road near the Charles Meyers place
This is the last we ever heard of the
bear.

REVEREND GEORGE WASHINGTON NUZUM.

Rev. George Washington Nuzum
died at Viroqua a few days ago and it
is believed that he married 1000
couples and preached 5000 funerals
during his ministry. He was char
ter member of the West Wisconsin
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church and the last to answer the final
roll call of those who were the pioneers
of the organization. The ministry of
Rev. Nuzum went back to the days
of the circuit rider and saddle-bags.
The story of his life is filled with
romantic interest. He located in
western Wisconsin when the highways
were Indian trails and the privations
not few. His grandfather, George
Nuzum, was Virginian and faith
er of seven children. His father,
Richard Nuzum, located in Ohio and
