SOME GIRLS MAKE UP FIBs.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 May I ask your views? I am girl of good morals. 1T years old. Kept company two years. I play the piano and sing. Why do some girls make up dbs to tell other girls that's not so? It's despicable to do so at all. I try to attend to my own business. If go with a certain girl, another girl tries to step in between us to cause trouble. Is it proper to take 9 gent1eman's s arm you are with till after marriage? Is it ladylixe to accept chewing gum from boys? If they ask if you have taste for gum, or care for it,, what am to say? Should boy be a1- lowed to put his arm ae5ut one or suggest a kiss? Do they respect a girl who keeps them in place always? If she goes to another town, is it proper for girls to write first if keep ing company or should the boy? Af- fectiopate reader.
 Girls are not good friends who fib. They injure themselves lastly. Be agreeable, pleasant. Refrain from mingling in the society of the girls you distrust- Pay no attention to rumors. They are usually magnif1ed. It IS proper to accept the protection of a gentleman's arm if the street or path or crowd causes her inconvenience in making her way unaided. It is best not to accept gifts of sweets from young boys Thank them, saying you do not care for them. Do not allow familiarity. It breeds contempt. On no account should a nice young girl permit kissing. Write first.

THE YEAR AND ITS TEACHINGS

It is customary for many newspa- pers at the close of a year, to print a record of events happening in the twelve months. These reviews are in structive, but at best they convey lit tie suggestion of the real spirit of d period of time. V
 History seems one long record of wars, battles, personal conflicts of kings and emperors. These are not the most vital facts. The really sig nificant events are the progress of education, individual liberty, political democracy, scientific discovery, tech nical arts invention, economic pros perity of the common people, advance of moral ideas. The historian may not say much on these points.
 What will be the great events of 1915, as seen by the future historian !? They would hardly be any battles, for these have not been decisive. The triI1mphs of armies, candidates, par ties, laws, often seem at the time 10 mark a great era and assure human prove illusory. Real progress is very intangible, a thing of the human spir- it.
 It would seem as if 1915 and it's events must strongly emphasize one idea, the value of systematic disci- plined organization, working in unity for community ends. Disciplined uni ty has enabled Germany to win mar vicious successes. It has enabled France, with it's smaller population, to make a showing that many people would have thought impossible for a democratic country Lack of unity and discipline has made the English results disappointing.
 This is an idea that applies to the greatest nation and the smallest will 1age alike. Negative criticism des- troys power. The people who seek their own advancement, regardless how such advancement affects the whole community, defeat their own ends. They share in the i'll results of the community inefficiency which they do so much to bring about.

I am in the fifth grade. Is my writing fair? Is it right for a girl to receive gifts from boys2 Am to say so if youth asks if he is loved by me? Should I encourage being called pet names? Thanks.
 B. M Your writing is nice. You should not have love in your heart for a few years from now. Attend to your school duties. Ask your parents ad- vice before keeping company Do not declare you could not live without a youth. Otherwise your ideas are lady like

an Automobile

This morning about 7:45 as the little
son and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Kris
Kramer, Second avenue, were return
ing home from the courthouse they
met with an accident. The little son,
Frank, aged seven, was pushing the
coaster wagon and the daughter, Gene
We've, aged four, was seated in front
of the vehicle. AS they were passing
the Gollmar garage they did not hear
a car coming out on account of the
noise made by the little wagon. The
automobile owned by B. F. Gollmar
accidentally struck the wagon
and both were thrown under the car
One leg of the little boy was badly
fractured but the little girl escaped
without scratch. Fred Wells carried
the boy to the Office of DR.. Farnsworth

A Rare Coincidence.

By rare coincidence the man who
sent the necktie to his son in this city
discovered it. He is a travelling man
and while in the city he mailed the tie
and half dozen nhandkerchiefs here ad-
dressing the package to his son. 1t is
alleged that Nitschke took the tie out
of the box at the postoffice and present
ed it to William Peel, night clerk at the
Simon hotel, as a Christmas present.
Some time ago the sender stopped at
the Simon hotel, it is said, and noticed
Mr.. Peel wearing tie which resembled
the one he mailedito his son. He exam
ined it closely and asked where he got
it. MIR. Peel, it is understood, replied
that he received the tie as Christmas
present from mail carrier who was a
friend of his. The sender reported
the matter to the postal authorities
and it was taken up by the federal
grand jury which met rece ntly at Su-
perior. According to federal authorities
Nitschke admitted taking the necktie
and he was Immediately dismissed from
service.

MAIL CARRIER
ROBS PACKAGE;
NOW IN COURT
r. F. Nitschke at Madison
Presents Stolen Tie as
Christmas Present.

Stealing a necktie from box which
had been mailed at the postoffice and
presenting it to friend as Christ
mas present, it is alleged, has caused
Richard F. Nitschke, mail carrier, at
Madison, to lose his position and be in
dicted by the federal grand jury. He
was arranged before Judge Sanborn in
the federal court at Madison but no
plea was entered.
The arrest of Nitschke has caused a
surprise among the postoffice employees
as he had been in the government SER
vice as carrier for 16 years and had al
ways borne good reputation. He has
just been released from a hospital
where he had been receiving treatment
for burns which he received by the ex-
plosion of gasoline in his automobile. He
was indicted by the grand jury at Su-
perior and the warrant was issued sew
eral days ago but it was decided not to
arrest him until he had recovered from
his injuries.

Solons Would Legalize
About 1000 Saloons In
The State.
DRY WORKS
ARE DEFEATED
There Was a Hot Debate
Before The Final Vote
Was Taken.

Thurs day was exc ise day in the lower
house of the Wisconsin legislature. By
a vote of 48 to 81 it passed the Stempsr
bill to change the Baker saloon law so
as to legalize nearly l, 900 saloons in the
state, including 203 in Milwaukee.
Before the bill was passed one of the
hottest debates of the session arose. AS
semblyman johnson, Mortenson and
Frederick opposed the bill, and Assem-
blyman Donelly and Minkley favored
it's passage. Mortenson charged that
if the bill were passed every legislature
would be bothered with measures to
legalize saloons in some section.
The assembly killed the Frederick
bill, drafted after the Webb-Kenyon
federal act, to prohibit the importation
of liquor into dry territory by vote of
62 to Is. It also killed the Frederick
bill for one half mile dry zone around
the national soldiers home at Wauwa-
tosa, Milwaukee county, by vote of
81 to 38.
Assemblyman Carl MinkIey. the Mil
waukee Socialist member. made stir
ring speech before the committee on la
Dor in support of his bill for an invest
igation by the industrial commission in
to the conditions surrounding domestic
sorvants in Wisconsin.
He said that many housewives takeitoo
little interest in the social and mora
welfare of their domestics. that they
deny the girls use of parlors and dining
rooms where they might receive COM
pany, that too often the palm garden
and family entrance" offer the read
lest place where courting may be con-
Quoted.
The big administration consolidation
bill of the session was presented in the
legislature by the legislative commit
tee that has been investigating the de-
partments for the last three months.
The bill provides for an annual appro-
priation of 5000, 900 for administrative
purposes, which is saving over the
present years appropriation of $91, 600
and over the estimates submitted for
the ensuing fiscal year of $107, 900.

tractors, have arrived and expect to

erected. The old Wisconsin House was
torn away and the plans were drawn
but for various reasons delay has fol-
lowed delay until this time.
