(From Tuesdays Daily.)

A class of five started the new course
of stenotypy at the business college
yesterday. This is new system
which will eventually take the place
of short hand. The machine is an in.
genous continuance that will print
from one to five words at stroke on
piece of tape about two inches wide.
The machine is absolutely noiseless
and weighs about eight pounds. 1t
has only twenty-one letters on the key
board and an experienced person can
take dictation at the rate of from
eighty to one hundred and fifty words
a minute, A person can learn to do
the same work with this machine in
three weeks that it would take them
over four months to learn to do with
short hand.
A lady has written five hundred ard
ninety-three words in a minute with
one of these machines.

This morning while John Herring

and telephone lines on the Madison
division of the Chicago & North
western, was riding merrily along
from the north toward Baraboo he
was overtaken by belated passenger
train near Klrkwood. He was on a
three wheeled gasoline motor car
and without stopping to turn
off the liquid, he jumped for
safety. The little Car spun along sing
ing chug, chug, chug, passed through
Baraboo on two-forty clip and was
caught at the stone quarry of the
American Refractories company at
Devils lake just as it was gathering
breath for run up the Devils Nose.
The passenger train was not delayed

SKILLET CREEK
FARMERS CLUB

The club dinner at the Relief Corps
hall on Wednesday was well attended.
More that fifty persons were seated at
the tables. AS caterers the ladies OF the
Relief Corps deserve great praise. 1t
is the general opinion that the club
will repeat this experience next year.
Prof. and Mrs. w. e. Smith of Reeds
burg and Chas. Melzl were invited
guests. The diners were ushered to
their places with march played on
the piano by Mrs. Newman. Addi-
tional music was furnished with
Victrola kindly furdished by the Atom
music company. After dinner the
company assembled in the G. A. r.
hall and joined In various amusements
and old fashioned games for couple
of hours.
The club meeting at the home of
Hon. and Mrs. Wilbur Cahoon on Fri
day evening was fairly well attended.
A full program was rendered consist
ing of accounts of travel by some OF
the members, readings, Rotations and
music. The Misses Ryan, WEIGH and
Baer each gave piano selections. Mrs.
Il. Zantow surprised the club with her
musical and literary abilities.
Through the club we are continually
finding good qualities of the various
members. The Wichern Male quartet
gave a medley song arrangement
which was heartily encored. Master
Glenn Hill and Ivan Cahoon gave one
of their vocal duets which as usual
was very good. Mrs. Ella Cahoon
displayed unsupported literary abilities
by sketching with crayon on paper
and canvas placed against the wall, a
winter scene. When frame was placed
to it the picture looked fine-better
than some which people give perma-
nent place on their walls. To close
Mrs. Cahoon gave some numerous and
musical selections on the phonograph.
The next meeting will be at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Wichern on Friday evening, Feb. 7th.
This will be an Aud Lang Syne
meeting when members will tell of the
days of hop picking and before, when
we went 10 church with OK teams and
used lara burning lamps and tallow
candles, Some of the old time songs
will be sung. Come early and avoid
the rush,

CORNING. Cal, Jan. 18th, 1913
Have been having the same weather
that looked some like Wisconsin. On
Thursday morning of last week we
had about three inches of snow on Fri
day shout half of this melted and on
Saturday morning we got one inch
more. On Saturday night it rained
and Sunday morning there was no
snow. Since that time it has ra1ned
so the ground has presented the
appearance of numerous small ponds
or lakes, but still we have not enough.
The ground needs to be we'll filled
with water in winter as we do not
have rain here in summer. TIE win
ter here does not seem like winter but
more like spring or fall. The coldest
it has been here so far was % degrees
above zero and freezing cold only a
few times.

usual health. Roses are in bloom
