ANOTHER YEAR

The closing day saw the largest at
tendance and enthusiasm. Mr.. Dryer
the lecturer gave a resume of the causes
leading up to the European war and
then an address on "The Christ of the
Andes. - The Symphony orchestra made
a very favorable impression and Mrs.
Wick, the mezzo- soprano, delighted the
audience with her Perfect Day" and
@'Wearyin for You" Three hundred
and eight tickets were subscribed for
another year.
The Chautauqua company and the
Civic League will have charge. A
number of citizens acted as patrons so
that the Chautuqua is guaranteed. Mr..
Sloniker, the platform manager, ex-
pressed pleasure at the help and court
esy shown by the League and CONNER
cial Club and the merchants who had
facilitated the program and assisted in

JeWelerS
Looking
For Obief

A couple of Baraboo jewelers. are
looking for a crook who perpetrateC
an underhanded trick on them recent
ly.
The story is that the man appeared
at one of the stores and told the pro-
prietor that he wished to purchase a
Howard watch. The owner replied
that he was just out of Howard watch
es but that he could send for one and
have it within few days. This was
satisfactory, but the prospective buyer
then requested that he be given the use
of watch from the store to carry dur
ing the day or two he would have to
wait on the arrival of the Howard
timepiece.
The jeweler did not give him watch
at that time but ON his second appear
ance it is said that the man secured a
watch to carry for few days, and from
reports he is still carrying it.
It was later learned that the thief
was playing his little game on another
local jeweler so that the two dealers
are now looking for the same man. The
stranger has undoubtedly left the city
but in case he is intercepted he will
probably pay dearly for the borrowed
watch.

shoe box under his arm and layed it
down with the words, Speaking of
large hens eggs, well here's one that
isn't so far behind the rest of the m.
Right he was, when the box was open
ed we beheld monster piece of 'hen

measures three and one half inches

The egg arrived at the Edwards home

ATTORNEY IN
LIBEL SUIT
George Rounds Name Is Placed
On Posted List And District At
tOrney James H. .HiII Re-
fuses 70 fnaSCuIatG Law.

Yesterday afternoon libel suit for
damages was started against District
Attorney James HI. Hill by George
Rounds of Baraboo. The case will
come up in the next term of circuit
court here.
The controversy arose as u result of
District Attorney Hill having signed
papers which placed Rounds on the
posted list. 1t is understood that dur
ing the month Of July complaints came
to the authorities and that upon inves-
tigation and request of public officers,
Mr.. Hill signed his name to the papers
and he was doing his duty as public
official when he did so. Rounds object
ed to having his name on the list and
since the district attorney is the one
whO looks after law enforcement, it
was he to whom Rounds came with
his complaint 1t is understood
that the case had been thoroughly in
yestigated and Mr.. Hill refused to
change his decision.
This case is of interest to the public
because it will have bearing upon the
strength of the law concerning the
posted list. Nearly every man who
has his name placed on the dry list tries
to take steps to have it removed and
should the officers for the public give
in the law would become weakened and
worthless. The attorney for the plaintiff
IN the action is J. w. Frenz.

The Staples of Living

The staples of living include: bread,
beans, potatoes, cheese and light wine
or other drink. The big cafes place tables
and chairs so they take up half the
space on the walk and here the tired ped
estrians sit and converse. A native Of
Paris says they are not Parisians but
visitors in this city.
American Goods Sold Here
Many of the large firms in the United
States have stores here. There is
duty of so cents on every pair Of shoes so
hey cost that much more. A hundred
dollar American typewriter costs $l2O
and all other goods in proportion There
are only few big stores in Paris, but
thousands of little shops occupying but
very small space. Many, many are
lost in the awful struggle against the
current.
UuilGotine Still Used
The guilIotine, that awful instrument
of execution, is still used. There is now
but one in use in all France and that is
kept in Paris. When needed it is taken
by the chief executioner to other cities
and then made to do it's deadly work,
only few days ago he summoned to
distant province in France and a man
was beheaded for the murder of his
family. In the case against Nine.
Caillaux, charged with the murder of
M. Calmette, it is not likely that she
will lose her head. The period is pro-
badly past for the guillotine to ever
again fall on. the neck of woman.
What Did Her Millions Purchase.
In our travels the palace of Madame
Gould, now the wife Of Prince de
Sagan, was pointed out. All will re-
call that she was once the wife OF
Boni de Castelane. After their separ-
alton he went to live with his parents
in very small house, also pointed out,
near the tomb of Napoleon. Paris
people do not speak of her as having a
title, only as Madame Gould. Her
home is a palace which she built, al
though it said she does not particularly
care for the place. What did her mil
lions purchase?
The home of the president Of France
is also a palace, once the home of
Madame Pompadour and covers about
block.
Where Napoleon Sleeps.
The most impressive place in Paris Is
the tomb of Napoleon Like that Of Grant
in New York, the sarcapagus rests in a
circular depression enabling the spec
tators to look down upon it. Beneath
the great dome and about the en-
peror lie his greatest generals. 1t is
said there is but one other finer burial
place that this of Napoleon, and that is
in India. None but royalty are permit
| ted to enter the door into the place
where the body lies and our guide as
sured us that it is far better to be be-
yond the gate than in a sarcapagus.
Who could dispute him?

Vacation Days Spent
Beyond tie Great Sea
Predominant Idea In Paris Is fanting Sculpture and
Literature-At N0poleGnS Tomb-Guifotjne
ideas Still IN Use In France

Spread out a map Of Paris before you
and it looks like a great spider weber.
A wall q miles in circumference sur
rounds the city and form the Louvre az
tae center the streets radiate ~ al
directions to the surrounding fortifca
ton. The first ruler built his castle
with a wall on an island in the river
Seine, afterwards another wall was
built to include more territory, then a
third wall and lastly the present one
costing $28,OO0,O00. TIE places oc-
cupied by the second and third walls
were converted into boulevards and
naturally these are long circular streets.
There are cross streets in all directions
so that it is somewhat difficult to get
about among strange names and faces.
Inside the great wall reside about 4, 600, :
900 people, If all those in Paris should
move away nearly all the people in
Wisconsin and Indiana could move in,
if they cared to do so. Just outside
the great wall are several million more
and there is some agitation to annex
them. In case this is ever done, Paris
will become city equal in size to Lon
don
Children Speak French
The universal language is French
even the little children follow without
difficulty the drawling tongue of the
Partisan. In appearance New Orleans
is much like Paris, only on diminutive
scale. No building in Paris is high.
They will not permit sky-scrapers in
this land of art and architecture. When
building is erected, the city dictates
the style of architecture.
Living Very High
It requires much money to reside in
Paris. Here are what few things
cost in the French metropolis.
OuSdL1 pei HONA1O, . SC1tos
Five cent u. S. cigars, 15 cents.
Penny box of matches, 2 cents.
Beefsteak, per pound, 81 to $l.2O.
Butter, per pound, 80 cents.
Eggs, per dozen, 36 cents.
Potatoes, per pound, cent.
Milk, per quart, 10c. to 15c.
Horse steak, per pound, 80 cents.
Meat is so high that horses are used
and regular markets, with the head OF
a horse above the door, are maintained.
The flesh is very red and sausage OF
any part of the animal may be obtain
| ed. Horses never have tuberculosis
and for that reason some perfer the
meat and it is permitted to be
| sold.
The only cheap thing in Paris is the
service of the taxi cabs These ma
chimes go at a reckless rate and the
price paid is comparatively low. There
seems to be no regulation on the streets
and all kinds of vehicles go as If the
/ Old Nick were after them. OF course
accidents occur but the speed is kept up.
People on foot have the right OF way
and vehicles are continually stopping t.
protect them. Most teams are driven
tandem and the two wheeled carts art
loaded narrow. The drivers in Paris
are hard on their horses.
