All Talk on Wisconsin

Until recently one could hardly
start a conversation without hearing
about some wonderful country away
over there" Now, the talk is about
Wisconsin lands and Wisconsin OPP
portunities. 1t is believed that not
one-fourth as much Wisconsin mon
ey and people are going out of the
state as three years ago The mon
ey invested in Wisconsin yields
dividends to our own people and our
own state.

LURE OF TREASURE HUNTING

Seeker of Treasure.

For the sake of romance and ad-
venture and all that puts color into
lie it is to be hoped that the failure
OF the expedition which recently went
TO the Isle of Cocos in search of pirate
gold will not mark the end of treasure
hunting. In the interest also of the
good town of Panama, where the treas
ure seekers are wont to outfit and buy
supplies. we should point out that
negative results never really proved
anything. There may be gold on Co
COS. There may be millions of pieces
Of eight and pewels galore and wine
which the buccaneers. who had more
than they could drink, laid aside for a
rainy cay. Because many treasure
hunters have ransacked Cocos from
end to END no man can say thst the
next treasure hunter will not find that

and sought in vain.

country solitude. Like all reprehens
ible habits this one was presently to
revenge itself by getting the ''profes
sor'' into trouble.
One beautiful moonlight night, he
was nearing the suburbs, when he
made discovery. The discovery was
twofold; First, that the real cause OF
his nightly wanderings was not alto
gether WEAKNESS of mental toll; sec
ond, that he had, for some time, been
trying to escape from the thought OF
Fran. He had not known this. He
had simply run, asking no questions.
1t was when he suddenly discovered
Fran in the flesh, as she slipped along
a crooked alley, gliding in shadows,
that the cause of much sleeplessness
was made tangible.
Abbott was greatly disturbed Why
should Fran be stealthily darling down
side-alleys at midnight? The wonder
suggested it's corollary-why was he
running as from some intangible enc
my? But now was no time for intro
spection, and he set himself the task
of solving the new mystery. AS Fran
merged from the mouth of the alley,
Abbott dived into its bowels, but when
he reached the next street. no Fran
was to be seen.
Had she darted into one of the scat
tered cabins that composed the fringe
of Littleburg? At the mere thought,
he felt nameless shrinking of the
heart. Surely not. But could she pos
sibly however fleet of foot, have
rounded the next corner before his
coming into the light? Abbott sped
along the street that he might know
the truth, though he realized that the
ever, the thought of her being alone
in the outskirts of the village, most as
surediy without her guardians knowl-
edge, seemed to call him to duty. Call
or no call, he went.
1t seemed to him long time before
he reached the corner. He darted
around it-yonder sped Fran like a
thin shadow racing before the moon.
She ran. Abbott ran. 1t was like a
foot-race without spectators.
At last she reached the bridge span
ming a ravine in whose far depths
murmured little stream. The bridge

TRIBUTE TO BARD OF AVON
Garden Contains Every Shrub, Flower

Tradition has 1t that Shakespeare
was frequent partaker of the hos

in Brentford, and until recently this
was the only direct association which
this portion of Greater London could
claim with the worlds chief drama

Now, however, tram-ride to the
Shakespeare garden in Raverscourt
park, Hammersmith, brings the po-
cts devotees to a little green board
which conveys this intimation: This
garden contains all the herbs and gar
den plants mentioned in Shakespeares
works
Many an interesting hour may be
spent here in an occupation at once
literary and horticultural, in locating
in garden-bed and printed page the
whereabouts of the plants and flowers
which figure In Shakespearean
