The Baths of Old Rome.

At the end of the third century after
Christ there were in Rome eleven large
public baths and 926 smaller ones. The
baths of Caracalls could accommodate
at one time 1000 people; those Of Do
cletian, 5000. Taking 1900 as the av-
erage of each of the public baths and
fifty as that of each of the private
baths, it appears that at any minute
bathing accommodations were possible
for $4,000 people in ancient Rome.
Counting on population of 100000
the figure generally given as the cor
rect one. it would thus seem that am
pie privileges were afforded every day
for every inhabitant of the imperial
city.-New York American.

PLATTEVILLE.

1t has been a long time since
PlattevilIe was so thoroughly, sc
deeply, and so widely "tickled" as
it was by the home grown minstrel
show on the 9Th and 9th. Even some
of our straight backed old timers,
persons who have not been seen to
smile in public for many day, even
these laughed and roared at the
minstrel show. There had been
abundant preparation, and every per-
son knew his part and his place.
Several of the Normal professors
participated, and did their parts
nicely. Former Superintendent of
Schools j. C. Brockert was con-
spicuously happy in his stump
speech A few ladies' voices were
heard in the musical comedy, but for
a general thing it was a show of
hUrrid men.
Trouble on the Milwaukee line,
last Sunday, caused the passenger
train to come in here three hours late.
That is an unusual occurrence for the
Milwaukee road. BY reason of last
Sunday being the 18th anniversary

friends gathered at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Steinhoff and helped
them to make merry the occasion.
Refreshments were served, and music
was given for the entertainment of
the guests.
Ira Poller has been elected assis-
tant cashier of the new State Bank of
PlattevilIe. He has accepted the
position.
There will be big Sunday school
convention here Feb. 1928.
Miss SaIlie Eastwood died here
week ago last Sunday, at the home of
her sister, Mrs March. She was 90
years old.
John H. Grindell, born in Platte
vile 50 years ago, died early last
week, the result of a stroke of
paralysis that came to him last
December. He is survived by a
widow, daughter and two sons.
Last week Thursday Miss Cleo
Trenary and John Ludwig were mar

John Hardcastle in the presence of a

AROUND THE COUNTY
BOSCOBEL.

Attorney J J Blaine was in Ian
caster one day last week, on profess
sional business. His partner, H. E.
Kemp, was in Prairie du Chen tn:
same day. Mr.. Blaine is in Lancas-
ter this week, attending the regular
winter session o. circuit court.
Elmer Peterson, the tobacco buyer
who has been at it so long that he is
entitled to be called a veteran, has
been out lately contracting for crops.
He does not make a business of tell
ing one what the price is. 1t is a
cinch he pays no more than he is
forced to pay, in order to get the
bacon. For as many as ID years
Elmer has been buying the making of
chewing. He spent about all of
last week over in Crawford county,
and it is said that he talked Nor
wegian most of the time.
John w. House, who is something
of a trader and merchant, has taken
territory for the Ford auto. And he
has done more than take territory.
He has already made sale. Joseph
Staskal, Hickory Grove, will ride in
a Ford the coming summer, and he
bought it of John w. House.
B. 7. Williams says he will live
in Grant county the year round here
after. He has sold his summer cot
tage on the other side of the river.
1t was a pretty place, but Mr.. Van
Gordon wanted it more than Ben.
There was a time when G. w.
Gehrand was a resident of Boscobel,
and when he had many friends here.
When Mr.. Gehrand lived here he was
principal of the local schools, and a
very active principal he was. From
here he went to Baraboo, where he
was superintendent of schools for
several years, going from there to
Marquette, Mich. He was very
successful teacher, and at all times
independent. He never allowed any
body to interfere with the proper con-
duct of schools. Now he has been
appointed assistant professor in the
Minnesota College of Agriculture.
He recently completed course of in
struction in Wisconsin College OF
Agriculture, preferring to teach in g
college, rather than in public school.

the hotel linda, Lancaster, has decid.

Peculiar Taxation In Holland.

Some of the most peculiar Of taxa
lions recorded are to be found in the
archives of Holland. In 1901, for in
stance, there was in existence a tax
imposed on all passengers travelling in
Holland. In 1874 a duty of shillings
was levied on each person who enter
