WHEN THE INDIANS CAME TO
PRAIRIE DU CHEN

SIN looking back over the de-
parted years." writes Antoine Orig
non, the old fur-trader, in the an
nual volume of Proceedings of the
Wisconsin Historical Society, which
has just come from the press, 81
can see Prairie du Chen as it was
when | played along it's streets as
boy. The strange, wild life of
the hunters, traders and trappers
thrilled me, and / was often on
hand to see the fleets of canoes
from the northland with their
painted Indians, or to see the voy-
ageurs arrive with their bateauX
of furs. Indians came from t a +
and near to trade at Prairie du
Chen, which was in reality a big
post with stores and warehouses
belonging principally to the Amer
lean Fur Company. From tn e
north, the region along the Mime
sofa and Chippewa rivers, and the
upper Mississippi, came the Sioux,
Winnebago, Chippewa and Menom-
onie. Down the Wisconsin came
bands of Indians belonging to diff
ferent tribes. The Iowa, Sank, and
Foxes came from the river below
Prairie du Chen. The In dams
travelled mostly by river in canoes,
but a few came on ponies, afoot
and horseback, from the interior.
"When the Indians came down
or up the river, they were painted
in their most gaudy colors, the
bucks used red, yellow and green
to decorate their faces, while the
squaws used vermillion, and paint
ed a round spot OF this color on
each cheek and streak down the
middle of their hair where it was
parted. The canoes used in these
journeys were both the dugout
and the birch bark, and a fleet
usually consisted of a dozen or
fifteen boats, but l have seen as
many as forty in one flotilla.
teThese bands of Indians would
remain a week or two to trade at
Prairie du Chen and the surround
ing neighborhood. While there
they would feast and dance and
enjoy life that had a tinge O CT
vilization in it. You could hear
the tum-tum beating all night
when a dance was in progress, and
mingled with the crude song and
the yell OF the dancers, t made
night hideous; silence was a lux
ury on nights of the Indian dance"

TIE LAST GREAT EUROPEAN
WAR

History repeats itself-but with
variations. A hundred years ago
France alone, under the leadership
of Napoleon, faced Germany, Aus
tria, Italy, Russia and Great Bri-
tain-AND WON.
At thirty-six, Napoleon had con
quered every nation of Europe and
in the battle of Austerlitz in 1905,
practically brought the continents
under the subsection of the French
Army. Then Austria, Germ my and
Russia formed the great coalition
against France, only TO be beaten
in battle after battle until they
were forced to sue for peace. Eng
land, thanks to her inpregnable
navy, was the only nation not
forced to acknowledge Napoleon's
rule.
It was the snow-covered steppes
of Russia rather than the military
science of Europe that finally
turn the tide against him.
The present crisis gives a par
ticular opportuneness to the offer
of Napoleon's Memoirs, announce
ment of which is made in another
column in this paper. Few books
throw a more Illuminating and in
teresting light on the underlying
causes of those years of conflict
than the fascinating story of the
man whose meteoric career e t
Europe sown with the seeds of dis
content.
Eventually" said Napoleon,
PRUSSIA will rule the World"
The present conflict will go far to-
wards determining the truth of
that prophecy, and day by day it
will furnish an absorbing illustra-
ton of the advance which has been
made in the art of warfare since
the days, only a century ago,
when France alone had Europe at
her feet.
Napoleon's Memoirs, written by
his private secretary, Baron De
Meneval, will give you a clearer
insight into that tremendous up
heaval of Europe which the pres
ent crisis seems destined to repro
duce.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

Floyd Laramy, eighteen-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank G.
Laramy of the South Fork Gis-
trict, was struck by lightning while
milking about 5 80 O'clock Saturday
morning, and was unconscious for
nearly seven hours after. The
prompt arrival of DR.. Gallup, who
made the trip from his home out
to the farm in his auto at break
neck speed, saved the boys life.
Lightning struck the silo, passing
down down through that into the
barn. The COW which young Lar
amy was milking was thrown to
the ground, and the boy was hurl-
ed the length of the stable, up
against the wall, where he fell I'M
conscious. His father was in the
barn at the time but was not a f :
fected by the lightning. A terrible
current Of electricity must h av e
passed through the boys b d y,
as one of his arms was badly burn
ed, and the sole of the shoe on
on his left foot was torn off a n d
the shoe laces broken apart. Aft
er regaining consciousness he re-
covered speedily from the shock
and was soon able to be about as
usual. The burns on his arm are
healing rapidly.

The WISCONSIN STATE FAIR
from The Stoughton Daily Cour-
Ter, August 10, 1910

tFrom The Stoughton Daily Cour-
Ter, August 10, 1919
Why should Wisconsin people at
tend their own state fairs? w h y
should boys and girls go to school?
The answer to the latter answers
the former question-to learn. The
fair, like the school, is an educator.
It's lessons are printed in the pro-
ducts of the farm and factory, SO
that every person may read them
Understandings The farmer from
the southern part of the state wants
to know what the farmer from the
northern part raises. This desire
for practical knowledge can b e
gratified only by fairs where the
products of the farm are on exhi-
bition. How many farmers have
been induced to change their me-
thods of farming to their advant-
age as the result of knowledge
there learned for the first time
that the breed of cattle or hogs,
or horses they had been raising
for years was not a profitabl one?
Men who never attend plac S
where agricultural products and
farm stock are exhibited cannot
in reason be up-to-date farmers !;
nor can theylhope to compete with
those who do, because they have
not the knowledge essential to the
proper and profitable manage
ment of farm. Seeing is believ-
ing. What we see impresses u S
more than what we read. When we
see a fine ear of corn, or quantity
of small grain, our curiosity is ex-
cited. We want to know the his
tory of the exhibit, how it was
raised> where the seed may be pro-
cured. When we see an animal
which strikes our fancy we inquire
about it, try to learn things con
corning it which will enable us to
determine whether it will be d more
profitable kind for US than the
stock we have been raising.
Then there is the display Of
machinery. We see just what we
have been wanting, hear its adj
vantages explained by men who
know what they are talking about
The advantages of a prop erl J
conducted fair are so many that
it is hard to enumerate them The
farmer is not, by any means, it's
sole beneficiary. Far from it
Fairs are universal educators, il.
structors of all classes, teachers o.
the socially inclined, the merchants
the smooty-faced smiths anC

mouIders, for set before all life's
necessities in an intelligent form
so that the stupid, as well as the
intelligent, may learn what nature
produces when used by man.
Every man should be proud o f
his state. If he is not he is not
a good citizen. If he is proud Of
his state, then he will embrace
every opportunity to encourage it's
industries. And what better OPP
rlunity to demonstrate patriot
ic devotion 60 your state than the
fair affords? Like your schools it
is purely state institution. Like
the schools, it is an educational
institution and it, like the schools,
was brought into existence in re
spouse to a demand that an OPP
portunity be given Wisconsin peo-
pie to know their own resources.
The Wisconsin state fair is your
fair, Mr.. Farmer, yours, Mr.. Mer-
chant, yours, Mr.. Manufacturer,
10 NIL AdOO1CI' IL 10 Tic OllIy
school Wherein is taught the lessons
Of actual accomplishments, t h e
only one which opens up to your
view vistas of possibilities the like
of which you never dreamed of.
Do you admire the products of the
farm? Then see the fruit of the
wisest thought and best work in
agriculture, for it is there. Are
you an animal fancier? Then go
to the fair and see what intelligent
Wisconsin breeders have produced.
Do you like machinery? You will
see all kinds in operation on the
grounds. Are you interested in
fast horses? Go to the fair and
see the speediest in the world
Are you curious to know how your
state has advanced in every de-
partment OF h uma n endeaVor?
Then go to the fair every day it
is open and examine and inspect
the multitudinous in er t in g
things there displayed. BY all means
take postgraduate course at the
Wisconsin state fair where natures
books reveal the wonderful re-
sources of your wonderful state,
and the products of the mill and
factory prove the skill and inge-
nuity of it's people.
Are you proud of Wisconsin?
Then go to it's annual fair with
firm determination to know more
about your state, to become better
acquainted with it's resources, the
of it's people and its ca
pacity to meet the demands of goth
century conditions. Do not go
alone. Take your friends with
you. Make the state fair your fair.
Become it's soliciting agent, it's
booster, it's advertising medium
from this hour and continue active
ly as such until it is over, and then
begin advertising the next fair.
Let US Guido Minnesota in exhibits
and attendance, as we now do j n
manufacturing, agricultural and
dairy products. Let US show other
states that when our state does
it leaves nothing about
it undone; that when it plans an
of it's products, it will
have one worth seeing, and that
when it determines to have a fair,
it's people, with one accord, resolve
to make it their business to see
that the fair is a success.
