Found Worms for Her n Eat

African jungle people are not very
particular concerning their food, says
the Christian Herald. One of our mis-
sionary ladies was down with an at
tack of fever some time ago. This
was source of sorrow to the poor,
unlearned, yet sympathetic natives,
who in their own way are really COM
passionate and want to help. One
of these bush mammiesr tried to ex-
press her sorrow because the white
nanny missionary" was so i'll. After
time she left the station with a
bright idea in her head, and started
for the jungle. A little later she re-
turned with large tropical leaf from
one of the trees. Upon it were sew
eral big crawling green worms, which
she had caught and brought to the
sick missionary. She thought they
would be nice and tender for her to
eat during her illness

When Uncle Will came back from

should think OF spending the winter

COUNTY JUDGE

Many Matters Disposed of BY Judge

County Judge W. J. Conway took
care of an unusual large volume Of
business during the last week. One
insanity case was disposed of, action
taken on five wills, two applications
for guardianship considered, and sew
eral estate matters were acted upon.
The following matters were heard
and considered before the Probate

In the matter of the insanity Of
Joseph Ebert, examination made as to
the mental condition of said Joseph
Ebert Adjudication of insanity and
commitment to Northern Hospital for
Insane signed, filed and issued.
In the matter of the Real estate of
Caroline Pomainville, deceased. Pc
tition for certificate of Heirship filed
and certificate of heirship issued.
In the matter of the guardianship

strong. Geographically she is beau
tifully located on both banks of the
Wisconsin river and nestles among
the hills of this valley.
She can be proud of all her public
buildings as they stand out conspicu-
ously as monuments of her thrift and
public spirit. They cover all her
present wants and for time will in
the future. Her public service con-
veniences are adequate for the pres
ent and for some time TO come Her
citizens are cordial in their daily
greetings and they are a unit when
it comes to the upbuilding and advan-
cement of Wausau. We compliment
ment them in the production of their
handsome commercial city Of nearly
10000 people. Her street lighting is
beautiful, her street paving is the best
and her public and private grounds are
faultlessly clean and attractive. The
stranger who comes within her gates
always leaves with regret, but with 8
deep sense of her advantages, pros
perity, wealth and hospitality.
While the writer was there on bu.
siness Tuesday we had the pleasure
of meeting Eugene Thayer, Robt. N
Johnson of the Pilot Review, and j
L. Sturtevant of the Record Herald

ly and daily, represent and lead il
