FARMERS EASTERN.

The Farmers Eastern Telephone
company held a stockholders meeting
last Saturday at the court house and
there We're about thirty-fve present.
The meeting was called to order by
President w. w. Albers. This was
the first stockholders meeting of the
company and the affairs were pretty
thoroughly gone over. There has
been enough stock sold to warrant
going ahead and as soon as the frost
gets out of the ground, work will
commence in building the lines. 1t
is designed TO cover large portion Of
the eastern part of our county When
completed $50 farmers or more, will be
in touch with the city: they can talk
direct to anyone in the city at a fiat rate
perhaps no higher than is paid by city
subscribers. There will be from ten
to twelve phones on each line which
will enable the farmers to talk with
each other without calling up the
central office. The matter of pur-
chasing the line now running east
about twenty miles, belonging to the
W4usau Telephone company, was
discussed and a committee of three
was appointed to confer with COM
mittee appointed by the Wausau
company for the same purpose are as

MoNoLITHs FOUND in EGYPT
Some Are Enormous but the Majority
of Them Are of Moderate
Size.

The monoliths of Egypt were as a
rule of comparatively moderate size,
and most of the building blocks were
such as would generally be used to-
day, but the pillars of the temple of
the Sphinx are 16 feet in height by
Az feet in width, and some others
are 20 to rs feet III height.
Most of the great columns, says
the National magazine, are built up
in courses, and those of Luxor are
not solid, two-thirds of the diameter
being filled in with a yellow con-
crete or cement which has now lost
its adhesiveness. These, however,
are of immense proportions, with
shafts of 40 feet, capitals of liz feet
and diameter at the base of liz
feet.
At Karnak the columns of the main
hall measure SIS feet in the shaft,
with lotus flower capitals of 10 feet
additional; their largest diameter Is
II feet s inches. Other temples were
supported by columns scarcely less
lofty and Impressive. Upon these
columns immense blocks of hewn
stone formed massive architraves. on
which the thick tagging Of the stone
roofs was supported
The arch, while not unknown to the
Egyptians, was for some reason SCI
dom used in the great temples. By
what means these immense pillars
were carried up and the superstruc-
ture added is something of puzzle
to modern artisans who appreciate
the difficulties to be met

cess of the Work.

At Grove Park, one or the suburbs
OF London, Mrs. Scott conducts very
interesting dog farm. Fer specially
IS Eskimo dogs, which she breeds and
trains for the market. The market is
not very large, but it is sufficient to
make it worth her while TO raise and
train the best possible Eskimo dogs.
1t is not the food market, nor the or.
binary dog market. 1t is the market
Tor Eskimo dogs which are trained for
Arctic exploration.
II you decide to make a journey to
one of the poles, you know that Eski.
mo dogs are absolutely essential
You can get good Eskimo dogs in
Greenland, or In Alaska But the
good dogs in Greenland may not be
exported except by special permission
or the Danish government; and the
good dogs in Alaska are not SO good
One trouble with ordinary Eskimo
dogs is that they have no breeding
and no discipline. They will obey the
master with whom they have been
brought up, but when they start after
nsh or other game, even their master
can control them only by the exercise
OF brute force. For the purposes of
your exploration you need dogs that
VIII obey orders given by white
man, dogs that are broken to the har.
ness and are not afraid of work dogs
that have learned team work.
1t is this kind of dog that Mrs.
Scott raises for the market. Her ken.
nels have only pure blooded animals
OF carefully selected stock, and from
earliest puppyhood she trains them in
how to eat and how to work. When
she gets through with an Eskimo dog
the animal is not nearly so ferocious
as one that just 'growed up" in the !
surroundings of an Eskimo village.
they adapt themselves quickly to new
masters, and they have acquired good
eating manners, 60 that they ara NOT |
SO likely to attack the cupboard or
fresh game.
Mrs. Scott feeds her animals no
meat except pemmican and dried fish
brought from Norway; large part
of the diet is specially prepared
biscuit. She has supplied trained |
dogs for number of Arctic and Ant
arctic expeditions.-Sc Scientific Amer

1T is true that they are very low

each. The growers stock consists OF
forty plants, which he will not part
with for $4,000, and not a plant will
he sell until 1913. 1t is extremely
difficult to produce a really good rose
and in producing this one many hum

lie Petit caporal.

Las Cases, the biographer Of Ma
poleon Ronaparte, thus describes the
origin Of the title LIE Petit Caporal:
A singular custom was established in
the army of Italy, in consequence of
the youth of the commander, or from
some other cause.
After each battle the Oldest soldiers
used to hold council and confer a
new rank on their young general, who,
when he made HIS appearance in the
camp, was received by the veterans
aid saluted by his new title.
They made him a corporal at Lodi
and a sergeant at Castiglione; and
hence the surname of 'Petit Caporal,"
which vas for long time applied to
Napoleon by the soldiers.
How subtle is the chain which
unites ehe most trivial circumstances to
the most important events! Perhaps
this very nickname contributed to his
miraculous success on his return in
1875. While he was haranguing the
first battalion, which he found it nee
essary to address, voice from the
ranks exclaimed, "Vive notre petit
caporall We will never fight against
him!"

PROFANITY TO QUIET PANICs
Colonel Bright Used 1t Effectively to
Restore Order at Theater and
Conventions.

Col. Dick Bright, who has attended
every Democratic national convention
within the memory of man, was once
caught in theater panic Being des-
perately in love with his own life, the
colonel desired to prevent anybody
else in the theater knocking him down
and using his handsome face as one
of the milestones on the road to the
exits. Inspired by the emergency, he
stood up in his seat and heaped on
that crowd of terrorized and strug-
Cling men and women the most hor-
trible stream of profanity that he
could enunciate-which, it may be re-
marked, was profanity of an emphat-
ic and marvellous variety. But it did
the work, because it made the audi
cnce so mad that they all took hand
in beating him up.
In 1854 at the Democratic conven-
ton in Chicago the colonel was in
charge of preserving order in the hall
At that time his face had not recoy-
cred from the ordeal of darting hith-
er and thither, under the impact of
what had happened to him in the thea
ter, and he had a great respect for
profanity as a pacifier.. Consequently,
he went TO the chief of the fire de
De tment and requested the loan of
twelve men to preserve order in the
convention hall.
81 don't want any members of the
church" he explained, "and | want
men who have strong bass voices"
His request having been granted he
visited the various fire engine houses
and picked up the twelve classiest pro-
family vendors he could find.
Now" he told his swell brigade,
''if there is any sign of panic in this
hall, leap on a chair and cut loose
with that line of talk you gave me be-
hind the fire house this morning. The
delegates will forget all about their
fright and put in their time beating
you up. You will find me leading the
chorus from the speakers platform.
There was NO sign of panic n
that convention, but the colonel still
maintains that his system is the best
ever invented for keeping people from
rushing to the exits.-Popular Maya

LAST OF A RACE OF KINGS
Michael, Prince Of Cyprus, Jerusalem
and Syria, Died Recently in
Charity Hospital.

In the charity ward of a hospital
III st. Petersburg there died of can
Ger few days ago the last of a
dynasty of famous kings. This pauper
was Michael, prince of Cyprus, Jeru-
salem and Syria, aged fifty-four. With
him perished the family of Lusignan,
which had been reigring monarchs
for many centuries.
Prince Michael was the only son
of Louis de Lusiglan, who was driven
from the throne of Cyprus by the
Turks in 1921. He had intrusted his
vast treasures to the Patriarch of
Constantinople, but the Turks confis-
Gated these and appropriated them
to their own use. In the war for the
liberation of Greece the prince tried
to regain his throne, but in 1927 he
had to fee to Russia, where Gar
Nicholas gave him a commission as
captain in the army.
Prince Louis fought in the Crimean
war, but the result of this was disas-
trous to his hopes. When Greece re-
gained its independence the throne of
the newly created nation was twice
offered to Prince Louis, who refused
it.
Napoleon III. took UP Prince Louis
cause and Count Debussy made a for
NAL contract to supply him with the
necessary means. He expected to
wiring from the Turkish government
about $250,000,000 But the Franco
Prussian war resulted in Napoleon
III. being driven from the throne of
France and once more the hopes OF
Prince Louis to regain the throne of
Cyprus, Jerusalem and Syria we're
dashed to the ground.
In 1884 Prince Louis died, leaving
his only son nothing but aspirations
and a royal name. Prince Michael
was then "a years old. He lived al
most as recluse, but never gave up
his hopes. Those who knew him con-
sideced him a crank because of the
strange costume he always wore This
consisted of a Russian army overcoat
with gold buttons on which were the
three crowns of his kingdom.
