The Question

They tell Bill Bryan's bemoanng
The fact that his pay is too small,
And under the burden is groaning
With barely nuf cash pay all;
We Clerks also complaining
With sal'ries small it is clear!
If Bryan can't live thousand month
Can nine hundred year?
OF course, we're only jay hawkers.
And must struggle and toll for toll
While Bryan follow Chautauquas
In order to fatten his roll;
But still must labor and suffer, 800 THr-..-..

Huerta. rolling the wealth wrane from

tribute toward the conduct OF the cam

ambassador Is quoted as describing as
brigandage.
THE situation in this respect Is more
or less as it was In. 1910 and ISL. when
the emissaries Of General sDiaz and the,
reactionary group supporting him
spent many thousand dollars trying to
convince the American people that the
revolutionary party were nothing but
thieves and hooters. with no organized
object IN view save robbery.
But this view was speedily dissipated
by subsequent events, precisely as the
malicious charges credited to Mr.. VIII
son will be shown wanting IN truth.
However, neither charges nor coun-
ter-changes will have any effect on the
result, because If our armies are COM

develop. All we ask Is fair play. that

MRS. BENJAMIN BERRY
Died on Friday Evenins, January 18th,
1913, at Her Home in this City.

Last Friday evening one OF Wau-
sau's oldest citizens passed away at
her nome in this city, at 8 O'Clock.
The immediate cause of her death
was paralysis. She was confined to
her bed for three weeks previous to
her death Mrs. Berry had resided
in Wausau and vicinity for nearly
sixty years, having come here in
1853 with her father. Her husband
Mr.. Berry was, in the early history OF
Wausau, one of its best known men
in The pinery His ancestors fought
in the war of independence, and the
war of 1872. He was the oldest of
eight children and when he came
here was a man Of phenominal
| strength and giant in stature. He
built the first saw mill on Trappe
and was in the lumber business here
up To the time of his death in May,
1876.
Deceased was born in Murfreesboro,
Pa, Oct. 20, 1885. When seven years
she came with her parents to Milwau-
kee, her mother dying there year
later. She resided there until Is years
| of age, when her father came to Wau-
sau bringing his family with him.
She was united in marriage to BENZ.
f. Berry in this city on the 3lst day
Of March, 1866. She was the mother
of three daughters and two sons,
Andrew, the Oldest boy, dying four
years ago this month. Those suryiv-
ing are: Mrs. G. p. Taplin of Ches-
ley, Idaho; Mrs. Harriet Hawley and
Frank OF Wausau; Mrs Matte Kugel
Rhinelander She also is survived by
one brother, Joseph ESchenbauch of
Grafton, H., and one sister, Mrs. H.
L. Pearce of this city, also seven
grand children and three great grand
children.
She was woman we'll known
throughout the valley, more especially
during her early life, for her kind,
charitable disposition which won her
hosts of friends and was always held
in very high esteem.
The funeral services were held from
the home al 10 o'clock, Rev. j. l..
Menzner pastor of the German Meth
odist church, (of which deceased was
a devout member) officiating. Beau
tiful flowers were in profusion,
tributes from old friends and neigh
bors. Interment was in Pine Grove
cemetery.

Interesting Facts About Oysters.


An oyster is wonderfully prolific.
A single oyster in single season
will produce 100000 eggs. If these
all survive and in turn had normal
families, in a few years many great
bodies of water, such as Long Island
Sound, Peconic, Gardners, Nara
gansett, Great South and Chesapeake
bays would become filed up. Nayi-
CATION would have to be suspended.
The oyster shells would form solid
land, as do the houses of the coral
insects OF the South Pacific. But in
stead of increasing, the destruction
of the young oysters by their enc
mites is so great, together with the
depletion Of the natural beds by the
demand for this delicious food by
r,1nkind. that far from increasing, in
past years the supply was gref.t.sy de-
pletad. In many cases it has threat
ened to become extinct This was esf
pecially true in Great Britain and
some places on the Atlantic cc,st.
In recent year, however, vast
Industry has been established for the
artificial propagation and cultivation
of oysters. Now hundreds of thous-
ands of acres are emrloyed in oyster
farming In the great bays and sounds
of the Atlantic sealooard- Here
oyster farming under from 30 tc &c
feet Of water is conducted upon an
enormous scale, at great expense and
labor.

GREAT IS THE BUCKWHEAT!
Only Pumpkin Pie May Be Likened to
the Tasteful Cereal Cakes,
Says Rhapsodist.

This modest Towering plant makes
but a poor showing in our annual
crop returns-some 100000 bush
els, perhaps. AS grain it figures
insignif1cantly, outside of New York
and Pennsylvania. But 1t is to be
noted that the honey bee is aware OF
it's peculiar virtue, preferring a. ne
the white clover to the buckwheat
blossoms. Farmers who keep bee
hives know this ana plant patches OF
the grain.
Wise as the bee is the man who
awaits the honey from the hive, the
-four from the buckwheat; then fol
lows the griddle cake.
It's time is at hand. i. goes with
sausage or Philadelphia. scrapple.
There are such distinct American
products that one reads with keen
sympathy in the latest life of the ex-
patriated genius, Whistler, how he
was so devoted to bdckwheat cakes
that che insisted almost at the price
of friendship that others share his
enthusiasm" How could others be
expected co do SO born outside the
buckwheat belt? Wretched, homesick
ar fist.
Other countries are blesse with
special foods, from the cavire OF
Russia to the macaroni of Italy, but
they are beyond the pale. itiably
ignorant Of what they miss and OF
what we are about to enjoy. In Amer
lea there is nothing sectional about
the buckwheat cake; it springeth UP
as : lowly dover, and, in the common
taste for 1t, is to be likened cnly to
the unpretentious pumpkin pie.-Phila.

TRY A HOT BLAST.

Every little while we hear of some
one slipping upon our icy walks, and
breaking a limb or seriously injuring
themselves and then the city is usually
sued for several thousand dollars.
Here's an idea and it may be worth
something. Let some ingenious official
OF the city rig up something in which
sand can be heated to a red hot
temperature and then have blast in
connection, so that rec hot sand can
be blown onto slippery places. If ar
ranged all right the sand will set in
the ice and will be like sand paper.
1t might require cost of perhaps
$500 to rig up such machine and
few days work would fix up every
slippery place in the city. Suppose it
cost the city several hundred dollars,
it would be saving in the end. Our
walks throughout the city are in a
very dangerous conditions; one can
hardly stand after taking a good look
at them to say nothing about walk
ing upon them. Some have put on
cold sand and others ashes, but it is
absolutely waste of energy.

PRISONERS MIGHT BE FREED
Many In New York JaiIs Are Held
Contrary to the Strict Letter
of the Law.

An examination of the prison reports
Of the state of New York has shown
that 254 prisoners are at present serv-
Ing terms in the state under Illegal
sentences.
Part of these prisoners claimed when
on trial 10 be first offenders, and so
got an indeterminate sentence. The
law of New York provides that on
second convictions TO indeterminate
sentence can be given.
Part of them, however, have SEN
fences which terminate In the middle
Of the winter. The law OF New York
wisely provides that no prisoner may
be released in the winter season, when
work is scarce and the incentive to
crime is redoubled by the hardship
Of the cold.

BASKET BALL.

Last Friday evening the Bushey
Business College team of Appleton,
defeated our first Y. NJ. G. A. team
by the exceptionally close score of
1929. At the end of the first half
of the game. our team was in the
lead and it appeared as if it was pure
" careleSsness that lost the game for
us. Our men were not up to the
standard, Swanson had lame Shout
der, while Piper did not get as many
baskets as usual and just opposite the
Appleton team seemed TO be in the
best possible trim. The Appleton
coach, Sylvester, was player on the
Appleton base ball team and it was
he who lead our Wis.-Ii. league in
batting. Although many fouls were
committed Sylvester did not reprove
and so proved a very unsatisfactory

STORE BURNED

The Kruger & Miller store at Doer-

Sunday evening, at 9 O'Clock. The
ire started in the Lay shed at the
rear of the building and it is slightly
suspected that the fire was set by
some one. The loss was $4,000, the
building and contents being fully in
sured. The partners will probably re-
build although Mr.. Miller is awaiting
the return of Mr.. Kruger from Wau-
sau before he will make any definite
plans. The Kruger & Miller store at
