And winnow Austrians OF the earth
The Gar u Russia can
when Jones grows stale at desk or bench
And needs thicker coat Of tan,
He cant march out and shoot the French
But Kaiser Wilhelm can.
Smith, Brown and Jones aroused to ire
Can't fabricate a heartless plan
Or set hundred towns on fire
But Francis Joseph can.

But still he never had TO read
All day about tho foreign war.
Job had TO hght his way through life.

But still twas imitation strife
He never had to Ore cook
Jobs troubles sought him everywhere:
They came to him from near and far.
But still he had no need back there
To dodge the snorting motor car

AUTO |S
MISSING
Car Taken From Owners Garage in
LYONS and Cannot be Located
By Officers.
(From Fridays Daily.)

When Wilbur Berkeley went to hi s
garage in Lyons this morning to Gran k
his Ford car he found that it was gone.
He notified Sheriff William Welk who
went to the suburb and looked over the
ground but could gain no clew as to
who took the machine.
From what can be CLEANED the cir
cumstances surrounding the missing
car are about as follows. Harold Berk-
ley had the key to the car and it is
thought it was unlocked by means of a
wire. 1t is also thought the car was
run into the street and to where Fred
Farwell resides by hand for the Far
we'll family heard someone trying tc
start car about three O'Clock this
morning. They think it was fully ten
minutes before the car was set in
motion and since the machine was
about four years old it does not run
like new one.
1t is supposed the car was not taken
earlier than one o'clock for a daughter
in the Berkeley family was awake up to
that time and heard no disturbance.
From the fact that dogs sleep near the
car a noise would have been heard in
case all had not been asleep.
From what could be CLEANED
from the faint trail it is
thought that the car was run toward
Prairie du Sac as faint tracks were
followed to the Spencer place. The car
was 1910 model and bears the num-
Der sow.

The Kendall AeyssOne says that on
Saturday tall stcanger came
to town ani put up at Hotel Kendall
He wore loose p)o4y fittilg clothes
that while not shabby, had seen better
days before being handed down. His
head was crowned with a broad brim-
med felt hat and his negligee shirt with
its crumpled collar gave the immistak-
able evidence of considerable wear. In
addition to these evidences of sartorial
carelessness he wore the mysterious air
of man whose movements were in
tended to be unfathomable. Occasional
ly he cast curative glances here and
there, as though he expected to see
something no one else was looking for,
and he made inquiries for Humane
Officer Frederick.
These things naturally aroused Curl
osity as to his identity. Chris Sack
ventured the opinion that he had come
to hold meetings at some of the church
es. John O'Rourke said he thought
the stranger was detective from
Trippville on the trail of the lonesome
pine. Others thought other things.
, They all had another guess coming.
| The mysterious stranger was Mister
J. 7. Gritfi1, farmer from Warren5.
A few days before his wife, firing of
i the monotony of farm life, and perhaps
finding that ]. T. was not the ideal of
her earlier days, had skipped with a
handsomer man. His visit to Kenda |
was for the purpose of enlisting the
aid of Hun Ofi:9r Frederick in re-
gaining possession of his lost wife.
The man with whom the woman skip
ped is named O'Connor. Its said he
is not pactic llarly valuable or desir
able citizen. If that is true perhaps
he and the clipping woman are so well
matched that it would be a pity to tear
them apart by rude process of law or
otherwise.
The Key stone is not advised as to
the outcome further than Officer Fred
erick, being absorbed in the interesting
details O: his re election to the assem-
bly, and to the care of q brand new son
at the same time, has not been able to
give the affairs of Mr.. Griffin much
attention. He may get into the game

Now that the supreme court has de-

ly indispensable bridge at Merrimack

one, certainly, will be content to set
lie down as before and the hoped for
bridge was in contempIat o.. That would
be like signing our own death warrant.
Something must be done to facilitate
the passage of the river at that place
Any other law having the same OBJ
ject in view would be classed under the
same head as the one just invalidated
by the supreme court and Of course, with
the same result. The means to build
such bridge cannot be obtained ex-

rIust Have Confidence.

Of course the proposed ferry must be
one the people will have full confidence
in and one that can always be relied
upon to meet the demands of the
public. When it is known that such a
ferry exists at Merrimack it will have
ample patronage to insure dividends on
the stock.
Let some wide awake and energetic
man take hold of the matter at once
and be ready for the harvest as soon
as the ice is out in the spring
have been told that Mats ferry
was good property prior to the build
ing of the bridge at Kilbourn and that the
Kllbourn bridge killed it. There would
be no danger from that source now
with the state park and the lake only
five miles away.
The cost of the ferry would not be
great and tie investment, l believe,
would be paying one as soon as the
boats began running.
Again let me ask, who will take hold
of it and push it for all it is worth?
