SHORT ITEMS.

August f. Garske of this city, who
has been twice welded, has taken
out marriage license in Sheboygan.
The BRIDE to be is Augusta Hahn of
the latter city.
Blueoerries and blackberries are al
ready becoming scarce. ANY of our
readers who are anxious to secure
baskets of them had better make
haste to the nearest grocery. The
berries are not very plentiful on the
bushes in this vicinity this year
The paving of Scott street has been
progressing at splendid rate the
past week. Concrete has been put
on the three blocks of the street and
the brick laying will soon be COM
pleted. Then comes Washington
street which needs the work sadly.
The booster which was installed in
the water works a short time ago is
out of commission for the second
time in the past year, the first time
it having taken month to make
the needed repairs. The booster is
used TO pump the water to the east
hill water reservoir. In consideration
of the very unsatisfactory service the
board of public works will soon ask
the council to provide for the pur-
chase Of a plunger pump capable of a
capacity of 326 gallons per minute.
1t is expected that the actual cost of
operation will be cut in half if the
new pump is secured.
While Fred Wendorf and wife were
returning from a ride to their home
| in the northern part of the city in
their own rig, Wednesday evening,
their horse became frightened at a
passing automobile, threw the occu-
pants out of the rig, severely cutting
the formers head and the latter
being severely shaken up and bruised.
They were picked up and taken to
their home and cared for, and we
learn, they are rapidly recover
ing from their late experience. The
vehicle was wrecked and the horse
was found at the Marathon Granite
works without scratch.

QUEER THING IS THE TURTLE
Scotch Naturalist of Wide Repute De-
clares It Is Neither Fish, Flesh
Nor Fowl.

According to Macdonald, a Scotch
naturalist of wide repute, the turtle is
the strangest. of all living things and
the most unfathomable. He can live
In the water as well as out of 1t and
can seemingly go for indefinite lengths
of time without air or food or light.
He is neither fish nor flesh nor fowl,
and yet he has the characteristics of
all three. AS for his eating, 1t seems,
quite superfluous, for he can remain
shut up in a barrel for number of
weeks and emerge at the end of the
time apparently none the worse for
the lack of food and light and air.
The baby turtle seems also just as
Indifferent to its surroundings as its
parents are. AS soon as it comes
forth from its egg it scuttles off to the
sea. 1t has no one to teach or guide
1t. In its brain seems implanted the
idea that until it's armor becomes hard
1t has no defense against hungry fish.
And so 1t seeks shelter In gulf weed
and feeds unmolested until It's armor
gets hard.
BY the time that it weighs %
pounds, which occurs the first year, it
knows that 1t is far from all danger,
for after that no fish, however hungry
or well armed with teeth, can inter-
fere. The turtle Immediately with
draws it's head into its neck between
the two shells, and all intending de-
vourers struggle in vain to impress 1t.

WHERE HER THOUGHTS WERE
Woman's Ideas EmInentIy PractIcaI,'
Though Not Quito Following Hus-
bands Reading.

The husband was reading a newspa-
per account to his wife. Now and
then he paused and asked question.
The nature of her replies made him
doubt that she was listening closely.
He accused her OF having thoughts
elsewhere, and she Indignantly retort-
ed that she had heard every word.
He continued reading for few min
utes and then glanced at her. From
the far-away look in her eyes he knew
her thoughts were not upon the item
he was reading. So. turning the sheet
as an excuse for the pause. he con-
tinued as follows:
Last night, at about two o'clock in
the afternoon, just a few minutes be-
fore breakfast, a hungry boy about
sixty years old, bought a doughnut for
nine pins twenty feet thick. With a
cry Of despair he jumped into dry
millpond, broke his arm at the knee
joint and was drowned. 1t was only
ten years later. on the same day and
at the same hour that goat gave
birth to six elephants. A high wind
then came up and killed three dead
horses and wooden cigar Indian.
What do you think of that. dear7" he
questioned suddenly.
She gave a little start, smiled and
said:
Il think that's q splendid bargain.

dozen, for your stock Of shirts IL low"

OF the Japanese today do not know
