CORRESPONDENCE

Through the efforts of the park COM
mission, the city council, the adjacent
property owners and the generosity OF
a number of citizens, dam has been
built at the Madison street bridge,
making avery desirable skating pond
for this winter.
William Harrison Hubbard, promi-
nent farmer of tqis community, died at
his home Il miles north of Evansville,
Thursday, Dec. 10, at noon. Mr.. Hub
bard has been i'll since January last but
had kept up and about the house until
the last, passing peacefully away in
sleep sitting in his chair. He was born
near Cleveland, Ohio, October a, 1910,
and came to Wisconsin in 1916, his par
ents making the journey in covered
prairie wagon with their three little
boys, aged six, four and two years,
and settling in the town of Union on
what is now known as Jug Prairie.
DIR. R. j. Digman, of the bureau of
animal industry, was called to Cooks
vile to inspect the herd OF cattle be-
longing to Arthur Franklin. This herd
has been under surveillance for the
past three weeks, opinions differing
greatly as to whether or not the cattle
had contracted the dread disease. At
ter a careful examination DR.. Digman
pronounced them entirely free from the
disease and gave them clear bill Of
health. The cattle had been running
around straw piles and the grain barbs
caused small sores in their mouths
which were responsible for the rumor
that the cattle were afflicted with
apathous fever, and which placed the
herd under quarantine some time ago

last two years there has been more
progress on the roads Of Wake coun-
ty than in the previous twenty years.
There is also a marked Improvement
In the construction of the bridges
and the figures furnished me show
that these bridges are being built at
an exceedingly low cost. The sub
ject of maintenance is one which is
also receiving marked attention and
Wake county is trying out at the
present time the patrol system, pat
terned after the method adopted on
the famous roads of France. The
tax payers would do well to consider
that the dollar does not go as far to-
day as it did ten years ago. Labor is
higher, teams are higher and feed 10
higher. SO that for a similar appro-
priatiOn as great results cannot be OBJ
tanned. 1t is also We'll to consider
that we use our roads a great deal
more than in the past and like any
thing else the more any article Is used
the more rapidly it wears out. This
is true of any type Of pavement from
common earth road to the highest
type of road known to modern engi-

The Disdainful Guest.
n Of the man who went to the
Kings feast without a wedding gar
ment, and was therefore cast into
outer darkness? Is the King fastid-
lOuS about clothes? The entire point
of this incident in the story will be
missed unless we remember the orr
entail character of it, and the usage
which led the host to provide the
wedding garment. A guest was at
no expense for this. He had only to
put on what was furnished him. To
fail to do SO meant to hold aloof from
the festivities and to flOut the hos
pitality of the host. Such q breach Of
etiquette was this that it meant in
suit and enmity; where Difference,
gratitude and friendship were due.
Wherein is the parallel and mes
sage for us? No part Of the story fits
u day more closely. A contemptu-
Gus treatment of religion is common.
Men speak patrOniSingly OF the Lord
Almighty. In t~houghtless profanity
and in open defiance, they jibe at the
holy name Of the Highest. Irrever-
ence is a twentieth century sin. Now
God is-necessarily--jealous of his
OWn honor.
During King Georges durbar a,
Delhi, in India, two years ago, one
of h native princes after greeting
the emperor on his throne, turned
and, in defiance, of all the usages o.
etiquette, Difference and loyalty, in
stead Of retiring backwards from the
royal presence, turned his back upOr
his emperor and stalked away-pre-
sumably in a spirit Of bravado. Thu
incident was regarded as so Seriou:
hat the offending prince vas at once
compelled to make a complete anl
unqualified and abject apology. Such
conduct, unrebuked, threatened tn
very loyalty of the Indian people L
the British raj. So God must b.
king, and receive his kingly due
HE will not be king at all, unless
he can be king in all" To esteem
God lightly is to sin greatly.

The patron saints of all Of us are
our mothers. The reason we put
them first in the long list Of worthiest
women is the love they displayed by
lowly acts of ministry. Seldom is
there any one great deed Of service
or sacrifice to be written over against
a mothers name; out her whole life
is a sum of lowly labOrs of love. The
motto of motherhood is the same as
that Of the worlds Redeemer: mot

always be a path to greatness, but
it is a passion of greatness.

their work is in towing injured ves-
