uncroWned Queens.

There have been seven uncrowned
queens Of England. The first was
Margaret of France, the second wife
of Edward I. Money Xas scarce In
the government Golfers at the time,
and Edward could not afford the ex-
pense Of coronation. The four later
wives of Henry WILL, Anne Boleyn's
successors-Jane Seymour, Anne of
Cloves, Catherine Howard and Cath
crime Parr-were never publicly crown
ed as queen consorts. Perhaps 1t was
because Henry thought it would cause
ridicule to have coronations occur as
frequently as his marriages. Henriet-
ia Maria, the wife of Charles J., being
strict Catholic. refused to take part
in q state function which would COM
pei her to partake of the Sacrament,
according to the rites Of the Church OF
England. Sophia Dorothea, the wife
Of George !. and mother Of George H.,
was never recognized as queen OF Eng
land and therefore cannot be classed
as one Of Britain's uncrOwned queens.
Caroline of Brunswick, the wife OF
George w., was not permitted to be
present In Westminster hall at nus
coronation.-LOndon Mail.

day last June the landlord called TO
collect the rent and before leaving
said:
"Say, August. after the first day Of
July III have to charge you $40 a
month more than you are paying now.
The paving on this street has cost me
good deal. and now the gas company
Is raising it's rates, and I've gotta have
more rent

A little later the barkeeper came
over to Augustus desk and said
"Say, August. the cost of living is
goin' up so fast that gotta have
more wages. After the first of July ]
want SO more n month"
"Vell," said August. Il guess that
will be all right"
The next day the representative OF
the brewery called to collect for the
beer, and when he was writing the re-
ceipt he said:
"Say, August. hops is darned scarce
this year, and after the 1st of July
we've got to have $1.25 barrel more
for the suds."
"Vell," said patient August. Il guess
that is all right"

moved to and fro uneasily In his effort
to recall It. This friend with whom
we have taken tea tonight, whose
name also I cannot remember-here

The Drink That Was Called Robur.

About forty years ago there was adj
vertised OH London billboards a drink
called Robur, said to be good for every
ailment and, incidentally, the long
sought after elixir of life. One was
invited to send for free samples, and
it's marvellous properties were the sub
ject of everybody's conversation. Ro-
bur might have been sold to this day

a libel action before his eyes, divulged
its secret fOrlnula-cold tea enlivened

rapidly as it had risen, for people
could make their own Robur If they
wanted it-Chicago News.

A MEETING which has for It's
purpose things that will be OF
interest to the Northern Section
of Wisconsin has been called by
the Commercial Club OF Amigo
to be held in that city on Janu'
airy 29th and delegates repre-
senting the twenty.nine northern
counties in the state are request
ed to be present. According to
the convention call there should
be three delegates from each
county fair association, three
delegates from each county
board, three delegates from
each Commercial organization,
the County Superintendent, the
City Superinten dent, each
assemblyman and senator and
representatives from the Press.
One of the purposes OF the
meeting is to consider the i'm
portance of terminating forever
the question Of a change in the
location of the State Fair by Sc
curing legislation that will place
it permanently at Milwaukee,
the metropolis of the state and
further to recommend to the
State Board of Agriculture the
fixing of a date for holding this
fair late enough in September
to give the counties of the
Northern part Of the state a
chance to exhibit fully matured
products and to arrange Tor
representation at the meeting OF
the State Board at Madison on
the first Tuesday in February.
The date of the fair is one OF
Importance to this northern
section of the great state OF
Wisconsin and one in which
every citizen should be interest
ed and the purpose of the meet
ing is to bring pressure to bear
upon the State Board to have a
later date set.
The trouble has always been
that the exhibit from the north
ern part Of the state has not
been what it should because the
fair has always been held al
such an early date that matureo
products could not be exhibited
If the meeting can accomplish
this it will mean much to THIS
northern region and we hope &c
see good representation from
this section Of the state at the
Amigo meeting.

ITO the Mayor and Common

Gentlemen:
We. the undersigned, Board of
Public Works of the City of Wash

18th day of January 1914 we made a
personal examination of the follow
ing buildings situated IN said city,
to-wit:
The frame building on lot six CO.
IN block forty-two (42) of the origin
al townslte of said City Of Washburn
A certain ice house situated on
block forty-eight (4S) Of the original
townsite of said City,
A shed in the rear Of the building
known as the Masonic building in
block forty-eight (48)
The frame building situated on
lot six (6) in block forty-nine (49)
of the original TOWNSHIP of said CITY
The frame building situated on

in block fifty nine (59) of the origin
al townsite of said City
And the frame building situated
on lot twenty two (22) in block fifty
eight (5S) of the original townsite OF

decay and lack of repair each and
every one of said buildings have be
come and is dangerous to the public,
that the foundation, stills, doors,
windows and roofs on said buildings
from decay and lack Of repairs have
| become rotten and such stills and
foundations by reason of such decay
| and lack of repair have become and
are unable to support the weight OF
said buildings and that the same are
| and esch and all of said buildings
in danger of falling, and thus have
become dangerous TO the lives and
persons of travellers passing the

recommend that such further action
be taken with respect to each and al

The Noble Life.

True worth is in being, not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good, not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For, whatever men say in blindness
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness
And nothing 50 royal as truth
We get back our mete as we measure;
We canrOt do wrong and feel right,
Nor can We give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing Of the sparrow.
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children Of s1a.e"

had aroused her. Veronica jumped out
of bed, slipped on a kimono and hobbled

service. She reached down and touched
it, 1t was hot. She lifted it. 1t was

a chair and lifted out the cup that closed
the top Of the pail. Underneath was a
great quantity of steaming fragrant cOf-

Veronica's hands trembled. There were
hot baked potatoes and hot rolls, chops
Drowned to perfection, a melon still hint
