POETRY IN RUSHING WATERS
Voice and Appearance of mighty
Thunderer" Brought to Ones
Senses by Graphic Description.

But of a sudden the sun bursts forth
iS all the glory of summer after
noon and the whole aspect of the
scene Is changed. Gloom and despair
ara overridden by boundless joy. the
ali-dispelling JOY of nature. True, the
waters still hurl themselves headlong
to the awful depths below; true, the
terrible chasm yawns for its
lawful prey; true, the voice of the
Mighty Thunderer" still echoes from
the untold depths. But those waters
seem now to sccintillate with thou
sand crystals, to reflect strange colors
and weird phantom shapes-to dance
with a newborn impetus; that chasm
seems to yawn less terribly; the
voice of the Mighty Thunderer" to
speak with a cadence strikingiy mu-
steal, and as the mist created by the
fall rises snowlike to the sky, veri-
table burnt Offering, GROWING the
Mighty Thunderer" with a glorious
double rainbow, emblematic of victory
and peace, the waters themselves
glide of down the river, clear as
crystal, yet verdant as the meadow
land, smooth as glass, yet turbulent
as the mighty torrent that impels
them-glide of down the river in the
besetting peacefulness that marks the
period of calm that precedes the
storm-off down the narrowing gorge
to be lost In the vortex of the rapids.

Magazine.

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

The Training school held its annual
picnic at Rothschild last Saturday
afternoon, the natural opportunities
for outdoor exercise and pleasure were
utilized and enjoyed. The visit was
somewhat premature, because the an
nual spring opening had not occurred,
hence boats could not be had for
recreation.
In former years it has been the Gus
tom, usually, to go to Granite
Heights, but the railway train sched-
ule compels a thirteen hour outing,
which would be unbearable.
Peace day and Memorial programs
will be united and presented prob
ably Thursday at IL a. M, in order to
permit the school to attend the May
fetes or festivals given in the after
noon by the public schools of the city.
The training school will close ear
lier than ever before, about June 20.
Work on the graduating program is
progressing steadily with a purpose
to make it highly interesting and in
structive.
The alumni are already at work
upon their program with desire to
make it exceptionally enjoyable. A
large attendance is desired and we
cordially invite all who have attended
the achool to be present. Please pass
the word along and plan to come your
self. Fuller announcements will be
made later.
The school will observe Memorial
day by max ing it full holiday.

FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS
The First Town in the County to Bond
for Highways

At the recent Gown meeting of pike
Lake, in this county. the voters an
propriated the sum of $1,000 for the
completion of their highway system
This win require the county to oiye a
| like sum and the state will undoubt-
edly also be able topay the,same sum.
The town will easily be able TO bond
the town for that sum. The amount
appropriated this year is 5000 and
with the state and county aid there
will be in the county treasury 81. 800.
The town authorities propose to hold
this r1oney for one year, which they
have a right to do, for the pur-
pose of letting the contract to a PARTY
and thereby obtain the benefit of
suitable machinery and help. The
town will probably commence during
the coming fall and winter to make
arrangements for the drawing of
stone, ETC., to, make a macadam high
way. The voters and officers of the
town of Pike Lake are to be congrat-
ulated on being the first town to take
advantage of the state law. 1t viii
also greatly benefit the city of Wau-
sau by making it possible for the set
tiers in the lower part of the county
to come to Wausau and return on the
same day. Most of the lands border
ing on the proposed highway maca-
dam road, which will be theold Wau-
paca road, are well settled and i'm
proved. The southern part of the
proposed highway touches the best
potato section in the county. From
lack of highways it is almost impos-
sible to move this produce except
under the most favorable conditions.
Lands in this part of the county will
undoubtedly boom and greatly in
crease in value. The history of sim
liar enterprises in the southern part
of our state shows that one of the
quickest possible methods to stimu-
late state improvement arises from
the expenditure of money in this
manner

MEMORIAL SUNDAY.
Union Services at the Presbyterian
Church Draws Out Large
Congregation.

Memorial Sunday was observed in
Wausau in a very fitting manner.
Union services were held in the Pres
byterian church at 1890 a. M, the
Methodist, Baptist and Universalist
churches joining. The auditorium
was completely filed on this occasion,
as was also the Sunday school room at
the north, the veterans of the civil
war occupying center seats. This
body of men is noticeably growing
smaller each year. In former years
goodly part of church was taken
up by them on occasions of this ma
ture, but on Sunday it required only
al few row of seats to accommodate
them. There were also present Gen.
eral kellogg Circle No. 80, ladies of
the G. A. r. Over the large east
window of the church the national
colors we're hung and in front of the
altar there were cut flowers in profu-
sion. A special choir of twelve
voices, ladies and gentlemen, rendered
excellent music. After the invoca-
tion by Rev. James NJ. Duer, reading
of the scriptures by Rev. Richard
Evans and prayer by Rev. w. H.
Gould, Rev. 0. d. Briggs preached
| the sermon of the occasion, taking Tor
his subject, "The Mantle of Elijah. I"
IL was splendid hours talk and in
every way worthy and appropriate to
the occasion, and which held the
| attention of the large audience from
beginning to the end. The services
closed by the choir and congregation
singing America" and benediction
| by Rev. Duer.

THE mail of nearly every member
of Congress is being clogged with re-
quests for information relative to the
filling of fourth class postoffices. Here
is the information most sought:
@. What was the Taft order per-
tanning to 4th class postm asters? A.
1t was an executive order made on
Oct. Is, 1912, placing all fourth-class
postmasters under Civil Service with
out an examination.
@. What was the effect of this
order? 1t meant each 4th class post
master in the o. S. then in Office
would hold the office indefinitely re-
CARELESS of his fitness or qualifica-
tions, vacancies of course to be filed
based on competitive examination.
Q. Wherein was this order unfair?
A. 1t put postmasters under Civil
Service who had received their ap-
pointment by virtue of political con-
siderations and took no account of
merit whatsoever.
@. What is the "Wilson Way?"
A. President Wilson, on May 7, 1913,
issued an executive order, amending
the Taft order, which provides that
in all 4th class post offices where the
compensation is $3.50 per year or over,
there shall be held an open competi-
tive examination by the Civil Service
Commission, the result of which shall
be certified by the Commission to the
Postmaster General. The Postmaster
General shall appoint one of the three
receiving the highest rating.
@. How are they appointed when
the compensation is under $l809 A.
By the postmaster general based up
on report made by post office in
Ispector.
Q. Who holds these examinations?
A. Local examining boards are APP
pointed by the Civil Sevice Commits
sion to conduct the examination.
When will these examinations be
held? A. 1t is impossible to tell at
this time; but they will be held as
soon as the department can take care
of the work, and as the needs of the
service require.
| @. Where are the examinations
held? A. At the most convenient
point.
@. How does one make application
for examination? A. After an ex-
animation is announced the applicant
lsecures, upon request, at the Local
post Office, form 1853, which is the
proper, blank to be filled out and
which contains full information per-
tanning TO the examination.
Q. What is the nature of the ex-
animation? A. 1t covers elementary
arithmetic, penmanship, letter writ
ing, copying tests, together with
statement as to facilities for transact
ing the business of the office.
@. How can one get more COM
plete information pertaining to this
matter? A. By writing to the
I "Civil Service Commission, Washing
ton, d. c." asking for copies of form
1852 and 1859, which contain instruc-
lions to applicants and rules and regu-
lations governing appointments, or
writing your member of Congress.

LUTHER MCCARTHY, whom the
lovers of the boxing game hoped
would be a world beaten, was killed
in a battle with Arthur Pelkey at
Calgary, Alta, Saturday. In the
first round, in mix-up, Pelkey struck
a blow which landed over McCarthy's
heart. A moment afterwards the
champion fell to the floor and died.
1t was supposed that death was
caused from weak heart, but post
norton showed that it was from a
broken neck.

for him to survive. B. S. Walker
lived for a week after that. Knowing
that he had to die, he simply made
the best of it. He received his
friends, bid them a cheerful farewell
and not once did he lose courage, but
smiled calmly in the face of lingering
death. He became unconscious on
Wednesday afternoon and died on
Thursday morning.

Quilted BY FIRE.

The home of Dr.. A. S. Nichols
was injured to & considerable extent
Monday morning, by what might
nave been quite a disasterous fire.
AS 1t the damages are quite extern
slve and only partially covered by
insurance.
The fire alarm was given shortly,
after seven o'clock Monday morning
and when the fire department
reached the scene it appeared as if
it would be impossible to save the
building, which is one of the best
residences in the county. However
owing to the efficience of the fire
department and their equipmentr
the flames were checked in time to
save the lower story Of the building
and the front rooms Of the upper
story. The roof being steel, it was
not injured to any considerable ex-
tent.
The origin of the fire is supposed
to have been from an English spar
rows nest in the gutter near the
chimney. The SCOT in the kitchen
flue caught fire and sparks fallin
upon the steel roof lodged in the
sparrows nest and soon burned
through the weatherboarding ant
started the fire on the inside of tn,
ceiling.
