LADIES WILL HUNT DEER
Sixty-Four Ladies win Cross
Wits With the Festive Deer
During Open Season in
Villas County.

Villas county ladies are becom-
ing enthusiastic nimrods, if one
rs to judge by the number who
have taken out hunting licenses
before County Clerk Bradford to
date.
Sixty-four females of all ages,
have deposited the lone simoleon
necessary for a perforated piece
ofManilli tagboard bearing a nu-
merical number and signed by
State Game Warden Sholts,
which legalizes the having in pos
session of one deer of either gen
der-but no more than one. That
IS, the person who intends to use
a last years license and tag, will
find it is nil for 1913. In other
words it's bum, and YOU stand
liable to have some fierce looking
game warden poke his fingers in

The number Of licenses issued
so far by-County Clerk Bradford
are 1909, somewhat in excess of

WISH YOU WERE SOUTH
Weather Reports Show That
the South Got the Recent
Freeze, Too-Northern Wis
consin Was Not So Worse.

When the cold wave ofOctober
10th came, many Wisconsin
people wished they were farther
south. Well let's see what the
result would have been. Illinois
got the freeze when we did
Chicago had snow before Mil
waukee. Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma came in for their share
of the cold on the same day. The
thermometer was at SO at
Shreveport and SO at Milwau-
kee; it was 80 at Amarillo and
the same at Green Bay; it was
ten degrees colder at Concordia
than at Marquette, while Okla
homa City was two degrees cold
er than at Madison, and Spring
field, Mo-, was eight degrees
colder than at Escanaba, Mich.
1t showed at Birmingham, Ala,
and Atlanta, Ga. And vet pro-
moters in the south talk about
the "cold and frozen north. "
The main difference is that we
have a season for the cold and
are prepared for it.

New GolfCourse.

1t will not be many more
years before every lake of any
size in nothern Wisconsin has
it's golf course. All will have to
come to it otherwise the ones
that do have a course will draw
thecrowds. The excellent soil in
northern Wisconsin for grass
growing makes it certain to
have a fine sod in a short time,
hence the chances for having
many fine links in the next few
wears is very promising. In 1911
a nine-hole course was arranged
for on Plum lake, The Plum
Lake Golf club das forty acres OF
ground cleared and as smooth as
a floor, but sufficiently undulat-
ing to make the course a good
one. 1t has a convenient and at
tractive club house and a system
of water works. This year
another forty is to be cleared
which will bring the grounds to
the lake and when completed
these will be among the hand
soonest in the north. And now
Eagle River people see the hand

ONCE CALLED AN ARMORY
Severe, Rectangular Building at Sixth
and B Streets, Occupied by
Fisheries Bureau.

That severe, rectangular building
with the old-fashioned roof standing
at the corner of Sixth and B streets
southwest, which a relatively small
number Of persons still call the
armory, but which is generally called
the fish commission building and
which for long time has been occu-
pied by the bureau of fisheries, actual
ly was an armory. Looking at It
closely, man will probably note that
the lines follow rather faithfully
those of orthodox military architec-
ture despite a number of changes that
have been made in the building. 1t
is grim-looking structure of brick,
red now, but it has been other colors.
1t Is three windows wide on the east
front, and there is a good width of
wall outside the first and third win
dows. On the ground floor is a wide
door. On the north side the building
is seven windows wide, and on the
ground floor are three wide double
doors. Inside are many things of in
terest connected with the fisheries in
dustry of the world in general and of
the United States In particular, and
the aquarium is one of tho show
places of the capital. But the old
armory in Armory square comes right
fully by its title.
Back in 1888 the fact that the fish
commission building was generally
called by old residents "the armory,"
suggested to General Ordway. then in
command of the National Guard of
the District of Columbia, that 1t might
be- profitable to examine into the his
tory of the building. He found that
1t was erected under a provision of
the sundry civil appropriation act Of
1855 For the care and preservation
of the ordnance, arms and accoutre-
ments Of the United States required
for the use of the volunteers and mill
tia of the District of Columbia, the
building to be used by the volunteers
and militia of the District of Colum-
bia under such regulations as may be
prescribed by the president" For
several years it was occupied by the
District of Columbia National Guard
battalion. There is record that at
the first Inauguration of President
Lincoln the United States engineer
battalion from Willets Point was
quartered there.

Bishop of Barbados.

Barbados, where Prince Albert has
been making himself very popular,
used to possess a remarkably exuber-
ant population. Henry Nelson Coler-
idge, who spent some months there in
1926, records that he was present
when the first bishop of Barbados ar
rived Wherever human foot could
stand was one mass of black faces.
AS the barge passed slowly along, the
emotions of the multitude were abso-
lutely tremendous; they threw up
their arms and waved their handker-
chiefs, they danced and jumped and
rolled on the ground, they sang and
screamed and shouted and roared, till
the whole surface of the place seemed
to be one grin of delight" The dem
onstration concluded with a chorus
from the negro girls. DE bissop is
come, De bissop is come! He is COM
ing to marry us, coming to marry us

described how through his efforts this
landmark, which is located at Jones'
Point lighthouse below Alexandria,

for the first time since 1861.
Mr.. Woodward read an account
from an old Boston newspaper of the
ceremonies attending the erection of
this southern cornerstone of the Dis
trict. which took place April 15, 1891,
when David Carroll and David Stew
art were commissioners. In 1855, con-

erected lighthouse at Jones' Point
and in 1861 retaining seawall was
built, hiding the stone from view.

no more rob the face of its world ma

picture, and this is what they were
saying between them:

crazy notion that my figures were

sweat that I jumped out of bed and

that a man in the next seat saw some

out of me. And 1t didn't take him
