THE MEANING OF HOME.

Home-this is the word dear to all
hearts, to him alike to whom home is
present blessing, happy memory,
yet unrealized dream. The dearest
home is that which has sheltered more
than one generation, for more
memories cluster about it and enrich
its every aspect. Here children were
born; here loved ones died; here
young folks were married. This is a
spot loved by grandparents; there
Is a tree planted by loving hands
that toll no more. Around this hospit-
able board gathered youthful friends
who came again after many years,
with gray hairs and bent forms.
Here friendships born with one
generation continued on to others. A
hundred ties, a thousand memor les
have combined to make this the
center of the world while life en-
dures.
What a veritable human treasury
is such a home. They are all too
rare, but they do exist to prove what
may be. To prove that home is
something more than a shelter, that
it is more than place for the DIS
play of fine things, that it is a
central exchange for love and tender
ness, a place for the forming of
friendships, for the sharing of pro-
blems, of JOY and of sorrow, for the
building up of an ideal of family
life that shall be one of the world 8
strongest forces for peace and right
eousness and joy.-Milwaukee Jour-
mol

payers money and the approval of
the legislation, much of it of freak
character, that has recently character
lied Wisconsin law making body.
We do not elect state senator in
Grant County this year. For the as
sembly, in each of our two dis
tricts there are two republican candi-
dates. Those in the first district are
A. V. Wells of Livingston, and
Geo. H. Metcalfe, of Platteville.
Mr.. Wells has faithfully served the
district in the same capacity and
should stand an excellent chance of
nomination and election. In this,
the second district, there are also
two republican candidates-Kenneth
F. Burgess, of Lancaster and Ed
Heathcote, of Fennimore. The latter
is a farmer and the former brilliant
young lawyer. Mr.. Burgess would
make splendid representative. He
is a clean-cut, scholarly and personal :
ly attractive young man, full of in
formation on affairs which pertain
to the duties of the office for which
he is a candidate, and his nomination
would be credit and honor to the
people of this district. He is in
full accord with the principles of the
non-partisan protective league and
would vote Understandings and in
the interests of the people upon
legislation demanding his considera
ton.
Of the candidates for county office
little need be said. There is q fine
field of aspirants for the various
places and most of them are we'll
known to the people whose support
they ask and properly qualified for
duties of the positions they seek.

DEATH OF THE POPE.

The passing away of Pope Plus X
has taken away from earthly acti-
vities a man who had not only at
tanned great prominence as q church
man but who was universally loved
by the people of his church through
out the world for his greG tness of
heart, his meekness and tenderness
of spirit, and the sweetness of his
character. He was bigger than any
church, broader than any creed and
more devout than any ritual. Of
obscure parentage, son of an Italian
peasant, when he arose to the emin-
ence of the triple crowned pontiff of
a mighty church his course became
one of humble service to his God and
the power of his place was assumed
as a burden in His Name and not as
the fulfillment of an ambitious dream.
He shared the joys and sorrows of
his fellowmen, and when this ter
Tible war that now has nearly the
whole of Europe in its mad embrace
was about to be sprung upon the
world, he pleaded with all of his
power for peace, but his pleadings
were unheeded. When the aged
emperor Franz Joseph of Austria
asked the pope to bless his army and
pray for their victory he replied that
he could make no such prayer or
bless such hope, for he knew that in
doing so he would be praying for the
death of the members of the Austrian
and other armies engaged in the
conflict. He told the emperor that
all of the combatants were children
of The Father and he should bless
them all.
His death was fastened if not
even caused by his sorrow and grief
over the war, and in passing from
earth his lips feebly pleaded Father
forgive them, for they know not
what they do.

Bridal Chimes.

Thursday of last week at a. m.
occurred the marriage of Arthur
Boerner and Gladys Jordan at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Jordan. Only the i'm
mediate families of both parties were
present except Mrs. Celia Graves who
just previous to the cere mony sang
"Oh, Promise Me- and was accom-
panied on the piano by Mrs. Weyh-
rauch.
Rev. Weyhrauch, pastor of the
Baptist church, officiated. After
partaking of the wedding breakfast
they took the $50 train amid a
shower Of rice for Milwaukee, going
directly from there to Chicago; after
a brief visit with the family of
George Pearson, they go to Savannah,
Mo-, to visit the family of Mr..
Boerner's uncle who resides there.
They then go on a four weeks tour
in which time they will visit several
places of interest in Colorado, Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington.
When they reach Los Angeles they
have promised to go to Sierra NJ adre
to see Rev. Hannaford's who had
been previously informed of their
plans.
The groom's parental home is at
Cedarburg, Wis, and in the
frequent visits he has made to Lam
caster he has won the esteem and
respect of all who made his acquaint-
ance.
The bride is well and favorably
known, .hav ing spent the most of her
life at Lancaster. She graduated
from the High School after which she
took two years. course in the Mil
wauk ee State Normal, then taught
two years in the public schools at
Port Washington, where she met
Mr. Boerner, at which place he has
business interests and also holds a
responsible position with the firm of
the ellison engine factory. i.
There is every prospect OF happy
and successful future for these two
young people. -.
Those who attended the wedding
from Cedarburg were Mr.. William
and Eugene Boerner, Mrs. Herman
Boerner, Misses Ida and Helen
Boerner and Miss Paulik.
The bride was unattended, attired
in travelling suit and carried a
shower bouquet. Cut flowers con-
sisting of several kinds of beautiful
roses, hydrangeas, asters and ferns
were the decorations. They were
the recipients of many nice gifts.
Best wishes attend the happy
couple. A GUEST.

per and dictator Huerta, American
sympathy again went to Carranza and
Villa, because the constitutionalist
cause they represent is supposed to
stand for representative government.
In the great war which has been
begun in Europe, where Germany is
arrayed against nearly all of the
other nations of Europe, with the
probability of also facing the opposi-
ton of Japan and other oriental in
terests, no decided sympathy is being
expressed either way by the Ameri-
can people. The real cause of the
war is not clear to the public mind.
Who is the real agressor? How
much is the cause of human progr ess
to gain by the dreadful carnage, the
terrible sacrifice of life and property
and treasure, the wiping out of the
strongest and physically best of the
manhood of the several nations in
battle array and the bringing of sor-
row and agony and want to millions of
families and the checking of material
prosperity?
Was England, France and Russia
crowding Germany and Austria to the
wall commercially in movement
which in time meant dismemberment
We Go not know and to no great ex-
tent so far is sympathy either ar
rayed in favor of the Alliance or
the Entente.
We read of the battles that have
already taken place and the momen-
tous ones that seem near at hand
with but little agitation other than
general sorrow and regret that such
things should be. We are not great
Iy concerned whether the armies of
either country succeed in crossing the
n eutral territory of Belgium or Lux
embourg. We are not caring particu-
Iarly whether the Germans enter Paris
or the French enter Berlin. Few
tears are shed over the sinking of
four British battle ships or the loss
of the German cruiser Panther.
Until some inhuman act Is COM
mitted by some of the warning fac
tions the sympathy of the American
people will be held in restraint.
There is so much of the teutonic blood
mingled with the anglo saxon in this
country and SO much Of the slavonic
races being added to our population
that it will take more than has yet
appeared to create any violent taking
Of sides in the struggle.
And it is we'll that this should be
so. The United States does not want
to in any way become embroiled in
the struggle that has brought prac-
ticslly all of the old world face to
face with grim and awful war.
President Wilson'S advice to keep
cool, with friendship for all the ma
items and alliance with none is the
safe and sane policy. 1t is not a
time for hot heads to rock the boat.

WORLDS GREATEST BATTLE
GROUND.

The great war of Europe is increas.
ing in intensity, and poor little
Belgium is again figuring as the door
mat in the mighty trampling of feet.
For more than a thousand years that
gallant little country, whose forts at
Liege and Namur have furnished the
greatest check the Germans have met
with in their advance toward France
and England, has figured in history
and geography as the world s
bloodiest battle ground. With
Brussels occupied by the Germans
and their gigantic and victorious
armies pressing forward, tremend-
Gus battle is now taking place not
far from that capital and near the
historic field of Waterloo.
Every school boy has read in
Caesars Commentaries that the
bravest of all the people in Gaul are
the Belgians and what the first
Caesar and TIE last Kaiser have found
out to their cost has been learned by
many rash invader in the interim
of more than 1000 years.
No other land IN the world has
been so watered with the blood of
armies. Always Belgium has lain
in the path of marching troops, and
while seeking peace herself has been
the ground between warning neigh
bors. The routes now traversed by
the mighty phalanXes have been
trodden by the feet of many millions
in the past, and one might fancy the
present campaign being fought out
under the scrutiny of the ghosts of
those who have fallen there in the
fights of ages.

Uhlan, the great racing whirl-
wind who holds the worlds record
for straight trotting, and who is
owned by the muItimi-llionaire, c. K.
G. Billings, will never again be seen
in a race and never again appear on

owner will take him to his Virginia
farm where he will end his days in
peace and comfort. He is considered
the greatest race horse that ever was
foaled, and has trotted mile, with
out a windshield, in l :544,. the best
mile ever negotiated by either trotter

OUR SYMPATHIES IN THE WAR.

In the Boer war, when England was
engaged in armed strife with the
Dutch of the little free state of South
Africa, the sympathIes of this coun-
try largely went out to Dom Paul,
even though there was some kinship
of blood and a common tongue with
England. The Americans felt that
the Dutch republic was fighting for its
very existence, and there was genuine
sorrow when it was wiped off the
map.
In Russia's war with Japan Amer
lean sympathy was strongly arrayed
IN favor of the slant-eyed little brown
men because so many thought Russia
was the aggressor and the oppressor.
And this too in defiance of the fact
that Russia had always appeared to
be our friend in the days of our peril,
while the Japanese had little quality
for utilization with our civilization
and might become menace upon our
Pacific coast and in Pacific waters.
In the recent troubles in Mexico
sympathy was to a great extent with
Madero, who rose against the iron
rule of Diaz, Notwithstanding it was
the only stable government that coun-
try has had in more than fifty years.
and when Madero, after obtaining
control, met with violent and unto
ward death at the hands of the usur-

The Federal policy of holding the coast
Of North Carolina. except Newbern and

on the point of ordering the abandon

news was received of the fall OF the

Grant reasoned correctly that his own
advance against Richmond would draw
from North Carolina practically all the

those at Wilmington. and that if Rich

also fall.
