Frederick G.. Atwood, Past Grand
Chancellor of Minnesota, known as
the blind optimist, gave his lecture on
"Fraternalism." In part he said that
the good fellowship and brotherly
feeling between Americans wherever
they may meet is due in no small way
to the teachings of the different fra
ternal organizations of which this
country may we'll be proud. True
fraternaliSm will make man bet
ter citizen, better husband and
father, teaching him to look for the
best in mankind and lend helping
hand to the needy or fallen brother
and prepare him TO meet his God in
the life hereafter.

CELEBRATED THE DAY.

Lincoln's birthday being last Fri
day, a bunch of thirty boys in
the Wausau nigh school decided
that something must be done by
themselves, seeing there was to be no
celebration in the school, in commem-
grafton of the day. Suffrage appealed
to all as a suitable stunt and so they
procured aprons from their homes and
forming a double column, each with
his apron in plain sight, they marched
to the high school and in at the east
door. They we're met, however, by
Mr.. Goodrich, as neither Principal
Painter nor Supt. I1obey were in the
building, and we're requested TO re-
move their aprons or leave the build
ing for the day. The entire bunch
turned and marched out. This trans
pired before the opening OF the after
noon session.
The entire crowd was convened iii
special session Monday afternoon in
the library. Nothing serious hap
pened, but undoubtedly no more be-
havior such as that of Friday will be
tolerated.

THIRD STREET IN BAD CONDI-

Third street is in a deplorable con-

course, tarown out snow and ice TO
the iron rails and the wheels of
vehicle getting into the cut can hard
ly get cut without an accident. Au-

tracks have had springs broken.
There should be some way to keep
the snow and ice from Third street,

suffer. No one will drive on TO the
street and run the risk of having
their rig smashed up, or, of less i'm
portance, having their lives ens.ed.
