VETERAN WRITES
ABOUT FRIENDS
IN WISCONSIN

George j. Paddock, sos Ninth
avenue, has received letter from his
friend and comrade, Emory Wyman,
Gibbon, Nebraska, which says in part:
"You are the only real friendly COM
rade left in that, to me, dear old town.
l suppose that E. L. Palmer is living
there yet but he has never answered
my letter 80 you are the only one to
whom can write, OF the original COM
pany. /"
He then speaks of Mr.. Paddock hav-
ing never been wounded in the Civil
war and his escaping. until the Burn
side failure on July 80, 1864, when he
was carried from the field and after
wards sent to Annapolis for light duty.
He then speaks of other war events
and of those from this county who
were killed. futile, Feegles, j. H.
Fosnot, Henry Fosnot and Day. Then
he continues:
You will be glad to know that | am
in very good health, eat well, see well,
sleep we'll and hear well. Do not wear
glasses; read all the papers and write
many letters. My wife must be credit
ed for most of my good condition; she
is also quite we'll. Our wives are our
only sure friends when we cannot help
ourselves. | take The Baraboo News

know have gone. could count nearly

find many names there that are known
to me; also my own and that of Brother
Zion J. Wyman. l almost cry when
read over the list of names and see
what became of them. Oh God! if it
has taken half century to outgrow the
sorrow that was caused by our civil
war, how long will it take to overcome
the sorrow caused by this enormous
war in Europe? Never will the world
cease to fight until the money in it has
given out. Nations are spending their
time and money to be in readiness to
kill, not to save human beings, and
why? Look at the money spent in the
world to be ready to kill somebody,
then look at the Krupps and the Steel
Trust, and see their millions grtw.
Mr.. Wyman concluded his letter with
some lines on Baraboo, the first stanza
reading;
Oh, could I live life over again,
This is what would do;
| would start right away, and not lose
a day,
Till reached old Baraboo.

Ye who have scorned each other
Or injured friend or brother
In this fast fading year,
Ye who by word or deed
Have made a kind heart bleed
Come gather here,
Let sinned against and SHINING
Forget their strife's beginning
And join in friendship now.
Be links no longer broken;
Be sweet forgiveness spoken
Under the holly bough.

FORMAL OPENING OF
 NEWWOMEN'S STORE
Griffin's Crowded All Day by Ladies Viewing New
 est Gowns

Griffins the new ladies' store on Second avenue and Nineteenth street, was crowded throughout yesterday by ladies who sought glimpse of the new est styles as displayed by models brought to Birmingham from New York. The occasion was the formal opening of the new store, of which Sydney 5. Griffin, formerly with Steele Smith, is the head.
 The store was e1aborately decorated for the occasion and in the balcony, hidden from sight by ferns, appropriate music was rendered by Nappis band. souvenirs were given each lady who att tended the opening, and the employees of the store made it a point to see that everyone had point of vantage from which to view the display of the beauti- full gowns worn by the models.
 Few handsomer displays of feminine wearing apparel have been made in Bir- mingham. The store is two stories high and beautifully finished in mahogany and mirrors. The walls are lined with dustproof cases and frames are placed all over the floor. The gowns are de- signed by Madame Schwartz, who keeps in close touch with the latest on the boulevards of Paris.
 There were on display yesterday crea- tions of chiffon, taffeta, pompadours, silks, Japanese prints, crepe meteors and many tango shades.
 Among the gowns shown yesterday by the New York models were. An aft ernoon frock of Copenhagen blue crepe de chine as a foundation and a series of ripples around the hips of striped |chiffon printed with rosebuds; a danc- ing gown of blue taffeta silk with cream accordion pleated laces; and a pussy willow taffeta of champagne and red with silver lace trimming around the low-cut neck and the latest 1914 hustle effect.
 Despite the fact that yesterday was Friday, the 18th, the opening was under the most suspicious circumstances.

LOAN SHARK BILL
 PASSES MISS. HOUSE
After Prolonged Debate the Measure Goes Through at Jackson by
 Vote of 70 to 17

Jackson, Miss, March 13.-(Special.) ) The Loan Shark bill was passed in the house today by a vote of 70 to 17, after a prolonged debate, and after the privi- leges of the house had been extended to Senator Boddie, the author, who explained its several provisions and cited instances of highway robbery to convince his hear CTS that 1t was a meritorious measure.
 The bill is similar to one that was passed almost unanimously during the early days of the session, and which vas vetoed by Governor Brewer on the ground that it was class legislation and uncon- stitutional in several particulars. MT. Boddie therefore drew another bill con forming to the suggestions made by the governor, and that has now passed both houses.
 Those persons or firms engaged in lend ing money on household goods or other personal property are required to pay a license of 5000 per year, and are pro- hibited from making any loan for more than 70 per cent, under heavy fine and imprisonment, and al the same time they cannot collect at law if guilty of usury
 MT. Boddie stated that he knew of cases where poor men had borrowed S5 or s10 on which they had paid interest amounting to from s100 to 1850 in three years, and were then closed out because they could not pay any more. Such a thing as paying up the principal on such loans had never been heard of.
