DElTON FACTS
AND FANC|ES
Phena Luke, author of "The
Kings TIessage in Song.n

The problem of handling the mail
at the Delton postoffice is a growing
one and Uncle Sam will doubtless, in
the near future, send his mail sacks
over the macadamized road from Kill
bourn to. Baraboo in q. s. electric
motor; this will be appreciated very
much by the people who come here Ito
spend their summer vacation and also
by the business men of the village, for
while two deliveries in twenty-four
hours are reasonably convenient, six
deliveries would be entirely satisfac-
tory.
Messrs. Pierce, who are associated
with one of the large banking houses
of Chicago, are stopping at the Hull
bert house. This is their third season
in Delton and the beauties of Mirror
Lake are still attractive to them. ::ss
Mrs. o. McGann of Chicago, who
is stopping at the Grand View hotel,
near this village, met with an accident
few days ago which has not proven
to be serious one and is rather
amusing.s It is the biggest fish .stoTy
of the season. She and her son were
fishing in Mirror Lake AMI they be-
came so raZZled-daZzled with the
reflections that the boy mistook his
mother for akfish, and caught his
strolling hook In her cheek. DR..
Taylor was summoned from. Kilbourn.
The hook was removed and the wound
was taken care of in time, so that no
serious results have been developed
unless the game wardens of this state
object to the catch.

Miss Lily, of the Protestants' Home

drilled wells would prove curative
tonic.

is spending the week at Chestnut
cottage with Miss Ruth Koppke.

erably pestered with some Canada
thistles that are very annoying to his
guests from the city. He and Jay

as they used to over the "bresd and |
molasses" and it is safe to predict that
thistle down in Delton will be scarce |
hereafter. Those steel shavings are
the eliminators.
