A DAY WITH OLD FRIENDS.

One of the visitors to Wausau last
Thursday was II. j. Miller of the III.
j. Miller Lumber Co., of Seattle,
Wash. Mr.. Miller, about twenty-five
years ago, was with the Brooks &
Ross Lumber Co., at Scholtield. At
that time he was not only intensely
interested in the lumber business,
but also took delight in writing up
newsy articles for the PILOT. He was
also lover of athletics and took the
various sprinting purses at our county
fairs. He was generally known and
met good many old time friends
during the day. He was very much
surprised at the growth of Wausau
since his last visit and classes it with
the best cities of it's size, in the
country. His company is one of the
largest numbering concers in the
west, and its speciality is furnishing
long timber for ship and bridge build
ing, and the past month he has
travelled over IL 900 miles in the east
and middle west in the interest of
his company, coming in the vicinity
of Wausau, he run in to spend the
day and to exchange greetings with
old time friends, much to their de-
light. He departed for the West the
same evening.

Spoiled the Scoop.

The newspaper special. although al
ways the cutest of the cute, is some
times scored off, by colleague For
instance Sir w. H. Russell represented
the London Times at O'ConnelPs trial
In Dublin.
In those days the telegraph was I'M
known, and as his paper wanted to go
one better than the Morning Herald,
its great rival, Russell hurried back to
London by special boat and train i'm
mediately the verdict was pronounced.
AS he got out of the cab in Printing
House square a man in shirt sleeves,
apparently a printer from the Times,
came up and exclaimed: $50 glad to
see you safe over, sir. So they have
found him guilty?" Eyes, guilty. my
friend" replied Russell.
The Morning Herald came out with
the news of the bare fact as we'll as
the Times. The shirtsleeved man was
a smart representative of the rival pa

PUTTING WISCONSIN LAND
UNDER CULTIVATION.
Vast Increase in Improved Acreage
Being Made in the Upper
Counties.

A letter from w. II. Webb of Su-
perior states that vastly more land
will be cleared in Douglas and ada
cent counties this year than in any
year in the past; this notwithstand-
ing the fact that last year saw more
land cleared than any two years be-
fore.
Mr.. Webb's hobby, if we may use
that term, has been in shaping mat
tiers so that the settlers could more
easily secure money for improve
ments. His position has been that
the more rapid clearing of farms, the
construction of better homes, the
equipment of more and better stock
and all other advances were more or
less dependent upon freedom of farm
loans. With greater ease in secur-
ing loans he sees this great advance
in the progress of building farms out
of the raw land.

A Stonehenee Legend.

Friar's Heel is the name given to a
large stone at Stonehenge. England.
An interesting tale surrounds the plae-
ing of this stone in its present up
right position Ii is related that Geof-
frey of Monmouth said that the devil
bought some stones OF an old woman
In Ireland, wrapped them up in withies
and took them TO Salisbury plain. Be
fore he got TO Mount ANDRE the withses
broke and one of the stones fell into
the Avon; the rest were carried to the
plain. After the fend had fixed them

viii ever find out how these stones
came here" A friar replied. That's
more than thee can tell" whereupon
the fend threw one OF the stones at
him and struck him on the heel. The
stone stuck In the ground and is said
TO remain there 10 the present hour.

He Saw the Battle.

There were no war correspondents In
Wellington's time, but that his attitude
toward such would have been friendly
may be judged by a story told by Lady
Doronthy Neyill.
At Waterloo the duke noticed little
man in plain clothes, mounted on a
sturdy cob. who rode hither and thither
in the thick of the fight. He had him
brought to him to demand his business,
whereupon the man explained that he
was travelling for a Birmingham button
maker and, CHANGING to be in Brussels
and never having seen battle, he was
taking the opportunity of SEEING this
one Wellington not only allowed him
to continue his observations, but pres
emily trusted him with a dispatch for
one of his generals in the firing line.
The safe delivery of the message was
rewarded, in more peaceful times, by a
comfortable government appointment

EnaIand's Army Rife.

Quite number of people believe
that cartridges are served out to the
soldiers separated from one another
Cartridges are however, usually given
out fastened together in clips Of five.
The modern rifle used by the British
army is known as a magazine rifle
and holds two clips or ten cartridges in
the magazine itself as well as an ex-
ira cartridge above the magazine, elev-
en- rounds in all.
When the cartridge clip is forced into
the magazine the fastening is removed,
so that each cartridge when it reaches
the magazine is separate from the 9TH
ers.
The magazine of the army rife IL
nothing more than a detachable box
containing spring. This spring
forces up one cartridge at a time into
its position ready for firing AS rule
the ten cartridges in the magazine are
only used In great emergency, as when
the order fer rapid firing is given to
stop an enemy's charge. In the ordi-
nary way the magazine, with its ten
cartridges, is shut off from the rest OF
the rife by means of a metal slide call
ed the "cut off."-London Standard.

BEST TINE TO SPRAY
FOR TRUCK CROP PESTS.

Kill the adult fly that lays the eggs
and do away with the possibility of
having mSggots damage your onion
and cabbage crops.
To control these pests J. G.. San
ders of the College of Agriculture,
University of Wisconsin, recommends
the use of this spray which was tried
last summer with success in many
cabbage and onion fields.
Dissolve grams (one-siXth of an
ounce of arsenite of soda in one gall
ion of hot water, add one-half pint of
black molaSseS and stir thoroughly.
Apply to the plants in coarse drops,
using a sprinkler or whisk broom. In
fair weather, one application a week
is sufficient, but in rainy weather,
twice weekly is better Begin to use
the mixture when the plants first
appear above ground, and in. the case
of cabbage continue regularly for a
month or so after the plants have
been set out in the field.

TERRIBLE WEATHER.

We thought the weather man
would even up on us for the beautiful
weather had in northern Wisconsin
during April and he has. The month
of May, so far, has been cold and disa-
greeable and last Saturday, Sunday
and Monday, we had all kinds of
rains, from heavy thunder storms to
cold, drizzling affairs, which made
our citizens generally feel that life
was a pretty serious thing after all.
On SUNDAY night there was quite a
heavy frost, which probably injured
fruit and any garden truck that
was up and uncovered, in the low
lands especial.
On Monday there was light fall Of
snow and in the afternoon quite
heavy fall. The weather bulletins
announced heavy frost for Monday
night, and sure enough 1t come. Ice
this morning was 10th OF an inch
thick. If this has extended all over
the northern part OF Wisconsin the
apple and berry and other fruits will
suffer.

Early Hand Guns.

When Edward ". returned to Eng
land, in 1471. ten years after he sue
ceeded to the throne, he obtained some
forces from his brother-in-law. the Duke
of Burgundy, including 800 Flemings
armed with hand guns, thus being the
first to introduce these weapons into
England. Afterward they became COM
mon. AT first they were fired by the
application of a lighted match TO the
touchhole by the hand. The match was
wick lighted and pressed against the
powder in the pan. The invention of a
lock to fire the powder in place Of the
hand was suggested by the trigger of
the crossbow. The matchbox fred the
arquebus. or harquebus. used by the
soldiers of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, in projecting a ball which
weighed nearly two ounces.-London

tie man with hacking cough had gone
to the jury, at which time it appeared
from the evidence and the instructions
of the court that the big man had won
the case. After half an hour the jury
was called and asked if a verdict had
been reached.

man. 1--WE only want to know which

THE large man sitting over there is
the plaintiff, and the small gentleman
here is the defendant" replied the
judge.
The jury fled back to the jury room.
In few minutes they signaled that
they had reached verdict. The judge
received it and read:
