sci men here believe six ships and a
hundred or more sailors may be at the
bottom of Lake Huron. Up to now %
bodies and wreckage of all kinds have
been washed up on the Canadian shore

ford and James Carruthers. Only four
bodies of those recovered have been

SHOOTS A. BEAR.

Ed. Nieman of the town of Ham
burg was the lucky nimrod that shot
bear on Tuesday of last week The
bear had been seen crossing the road
near the Hamburg cheese factory,
early in the morning, and several
Ieighbors started out in pursuit of
poor Bruin. II. Wiedenhoeft, Fred
Woller and Alb. Langhoff approached
the woods, wherein the bear was sus-
pected, from one side while Mr.. Me
man approached all alone on the OPP
posite side. Several times he heard a
crashing noise through the brush,
and he advanced very cautiously,
when finally he saw the bear sitting
high up in tall oak, leisurely pick
ing and chewing acorns. 1t required
six shots to bring the bear TO the
ground.
Upon the first shot the bear came
down, but he caught hold of large
branch and then began to descend
slowly along the trunk; when he spied
Mr.. Nieman, he started to climb up
again; but five more shots brought
him down dead. The bear was year
old and weighed 90 pounds. Mr. Me
man says that he was supposed to
have butchered a calf that morning
and that the teacher of their district,
Miss A Schroeder, was so shocked
after being told that the supposed
veal was bearsteak, she calculated in
sheer surprise; "Nu ik hew Boare

of which she is the head instructor

Miss Rusch explains "that the senses
of touch and sight first are developed
so as to make up for part of the defect
in hearing and that the sounds which
make up the English language are
taught separately" Miss Rusch's
school is in the nature of an expert

THAT 16 POUND FISH.
Its Species To Be Determined by
Superintendent Of Fisheries.

A wager has been laid on the 16
pound fish that was caught in the
Wisconsin river above here, on Fri
day of last week. One mans money
says that it is a muskallonge and an
other man is equally confident that it
is pickerel, and he, too, is willing to
back up his opinion with a certain
number of big round dollars. Judge
Murat, one of Stevens Points expert
fishermen, was appointed to decide
which of the two alleged piscatorial
experts are correct in their diagnosis.
As the Judge had only the head of the
fish to examine he declined to render
a decision. Instead, he recommended
that the case be at once appealed
directly to James Neyin, superintend-
ent of fisheries at Madison, and this
may be done.
Judge Park, another of our expert
fishermen, says it IS, or was, mus
kallonge, and in that connection bold
ly proclaims that he "has caught
hundreds of 'em." His remarks,
however, are incompetent, irrelevant,
and immaterial, for the reason that
he has not been called upon to decide

''l.CoK BEFORE YOU LEAP

@. Peterson, st. Croix county, has
written farm paper letter con-
tanning advice 20 Wisconsin people
who think of selling their farms and
going elsewhere. Boiled down to a
single word his counsel is like that of
Punch to people about TO marry
"Don't." But 'twould be a pity to
boil it down to a single word for he
goes into detail that is pertinent to
the subject.
He is not dogmatic. He wants all
those who are thinking of selling out
and moving away to investigate for
themselves and see whether or not
what he informs them is true. He
conjures them not to sell out their
holdings first but, while hanging on
here, to take trip to the region,
wherever it may be, that has taken
their fancy. His own experience has
convinced him that their investi-
CATION will disappoint them, and that
they will change their views regard
ing the advisability or "pulling up
stakes" and moving. Here is a para
graph from his letter to the Agri-
culturist:

SUICIDES, MALE AND FEMALE
Three German Men to One Woman
Xiii Themselves, According to
Prussian Statistics.

II Prussian statistics give any idea
of the relative proportion, then women
must be much fonder of life than men,
for more than three men commit sui
eide for every woman who takes her
own life.
According to the Berlin correspond
,ent of the Lancet, the number or sui
cides in Prussia showed a slight de
crease during the year 1911, when q
cases were registered for each 100000
of the population, as compared with "a
in 1910. The actual number of per
sons who took their own lives was g.,
422, of whom 1894 were men and 2,02$
were women.
The relatively highest proportion OF
uicides-namely, 35 for each 100000
occurred in the province of Bran
denburg; next came Berlin, with 81
per 100000.
The tendency to commit suicide in
creases with the age, the proportion
per 100000 at various age periods be
ing as follows: Between fifteen and
twenty-five years, &c; betweeen thirty
and forty years, %; between sixty and
seventy years, 81; between seventy
and eighty years, 81, and over eighty
years, SO.
About 25 per cent of suicides are
said to be caused by insanity. In 81!
cases bodily suffering, in 609 cases al
coholic excess, In 942 cases sorrow
and In 6O4 cases remorse were the
causes assigned. In 1,786 cases the
cause was absolutely unknown.
The smallest nun. Der of suicides
happened on Fridays and Sundays
and the highest number on Mondays
and Tuesdays.
