SAD DEATH.

Christmas, 1914, was very sad one
| for the Robicheau family of Mosinee.
On the afternoon of that day, Joseph
Robicheau, was drowned in the tower
of the village water supply. The
steel tower is I25 feet high, on which
is the large water tank. The supply
of water had been cut off for some
reason and Mr.. Robicheau gave it as
his opinion that the very cold weather
had formed ice over the top OF the
water in the tank which was causing
| the trouble. 1t was,decided that Mr..
Robicheau and Henry Reinschmidt
should go up into the tank and find
out what was the trouble. The form
er went up first, carrying rope with
| him which he was to let down and
haul up poles and tools with which
to work. The rope was not long
enough within about thirty feet, and
one of the men present went to a
store block or two away to get more
rope. In the mean time Mr.. Robi
cheau went inside the tank to inyes-
tigate. A moment later cries of help
were heard from him. Reinschmidt
hurriedly climbed to the top and
found as stated that the young man
I had entered the tank at the opening
which is only 18x18 inches, leading
down from this for eight feet is a
ladder, which was covered with ice.
In going down this ladder he bad
slipped and fallen into the water,
which was about six feet below the
foot of the ladder, and there was
eight feet of water in the tank. The
ice was not strong enough to support
man but Mr.. Robicheau was able to
keep his head above water by stretch
ing his arms across it. No assistance
could be given him because he was
so overcome by the cold that he could
not help any himself. A rope was let
down but he could not tie it around
his body. Mr.. Reinschmidt went into
the tank but could do nothing, and
before any scheme could be worked
out to save the drowning man he
sank from exhaustion. His body was
gotten out and lowered with much
difficulty and taken TO the home of
his mother.
Joseph Robicheau was born in Big
Suamico, Wis, on the 3rd day of
NAV, 1880. He came to MoSinee 26
years ago with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Alexander Robicheau. He has
dl w dJC llNCQ dO AlOLAO oil0 "on
married. His father died six years
ago. He had, during later years,
worked at bridge building, water
tanks, ETC., where it required man
to be from so to $50 feet above the
ground Very few can get about
with ease at this height and therefore
his services were sought after in this
special line. He was liked by every
body and his sad ending has caused
much sorrow. He is survived by his
mother and a brother, George Rob
icheau who was manager of the An
chor Casualty, Co. of this city, for
five years ana is well known here.
The funeral services took place this
Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 O'Clock at
St. Paul's Catholic church, Mosinee.
On account of the illness of Father
Klein, the usual requiem high mass
could not be said but mass was said
at the parsonage in the morning for
deceased and the remains were
brought to the church for blessing.

COLD WEATHER.
The Coolest December in Many Years.
Nearly Two Weeks Of Zero Wealth

We are experiencing a very long
spell of cold weather for December
and if this is sample of what we
are going TO have the balance of the
winter, we might as well hand over
what little we have to dealers in
coal and wood. Some of the papers
that have kept record, say that it
is the coldest December since 1886.
1t seems to have covered an area from
the Mississippi river to the Atlantic
ocean. In Vermont Saturday it was
81 below; in New York it was Is be-
low; in Florida zero weather, as well
as in Michigan, Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota. In
Wisconsin we know, absolutely, that it
has been below zero especially around
Wausau. The government thermo-
meter has shown a long spell of it,
Along in the first week in December
it commenced to get cold mercury
getting very close to zero. Commenc-
ing the oath nipping breeze has
been with us from the north. The

Ireland's Sionposts.

Ireland is the country for useless
signposts During the last few years
there has been an outbreak of Gaelic
League activity in the country. Among
other manifestations 1t has taken the
form Of erecting signposts with Gaelic
inscriptions. There is one such in the
little village Of Omeath, In County
Louth 1t directs the traveller to Car
lingford and to Newry-but 1t directs
him in an unknown tongue. 1t is not
easy to see what useful purposes IS
served by such a signpost For the
inhabitant knows his way without any
such assistance and the English
speaking traveller is unable to find ii
unless he happens to consult one OF
the villagers, not one Of whom-so far
as | have been able to discover--can
either read or speak single word Of

Of extensive areas Of land, declares a
writer in Harpers Magazine. But in
the course of few years he became
a free citizen and owner Of small
estate. Thus was developed a yeoman
class, a much needed democratic ele-
ment in the southern colonies, while
at the same time settlers were secured
for the black lands, where they were
needed to protect the frontier. Never
theless, they did not form distinct
class after becoming freedmen. Some
were doubtless the progenitors OF the

is likely that environment rather than
birth was the main factor in producing
this class While comparatively few
rose to prominence yet there are some

CHAPTER XII.

Higgins, erratic, demagogic, Often
vicious tempered, was, when once his
championship had been enlisted, an en-.
thusiastic advocate. AS he himself had
said, his heart was "in the right place."
and that morning, as he went through
the plant explaining that the young
new owner had decided not to sell out
to the trust, but would stand by Jones'
Vile, Jones Pepsin gum and those res
ident in one and employed In manufac-
ture Of the other, Broadway lost none
Of merit through his defamation.
In that heart In the right place Higs
gins had admired the way the smaIlish
city man had stood up to his five feet
ten of Drawn and threatened to throw
him out of the building, discharge him
from the plant, and drive him from the
town If he did not cease threatening
woman. He was sorry he had lost his
temper while with Josie.
He had rushed through the great,
rambling buildings of the old-fashioned
mandatory at high speed and high
enthusiasm. His manner had been
been signal for the stoppage of the
wheels of industry and the gathering
Of eager groups about him to listen to
the news which one could not doubt he
bore, and when the nature of that
news became known generally, the
much-relieved workmen, the working
women, and even the basket girls and
bundle-boys throughout the plant, be-
came instantly demonstrative of great
Joy.
The first cheer, that which had
mercifully interrupted Clara's tnqui-
sition Of Broadway on the subject OF
his friend, was followed by another
and another as the news spread. A
gradual cessation of the grinding roar
which was apparent, even in the office
building, when the plant was operat-
ing. showed that here and there
and everywhere machines were being
stopped by those who wished to leave
them SO that they might hear the
news.
The ofice-building group stood spell
bound, listening. None knew what had
| occurred. They might have been
alarmed had the uproar been less I'M
mistakably enthusiastic.
What is it," Mrs Spotswood asked
excitedly.
II don't know was Josie's answer.
Clara certainly knew nothing OF the
nature OF what might be happening,
and none was further than Broadway
from a guess that what he had told
Higgins, In sentence wherein anger
very freely mingled with the news of
his determination to retain and op-
crate the gum plant, could have been
accepted as good reason for such q
really notable demonstration of the
Joy Of gum makers.
1t was the Judge, at this instant,
bustling in, who made the situation
clear to them.
