SUCCESS AT MERRILL.
AN Aunt For Day" Played at Mer-
rill Before a Large Audience.

A special train took eighty Wausau
people to Merrill last Tuesday even
ing, comprising those who took part
in the play, "An Aunt For a Day.
recently given in the Opera house In
this city. The special train arrived
in Wausau at 3 a. m.
The following concerning the en-
tertainment is taken from the Mer-
rill Herald:k
"A good audience was entertained
by the amateur production, San
Aunt for Day." staged by A. G.
Radke, under direction of the Fra
ternal Reserve association, with a
cast made up of Wausau people.
The comedy was replete with musi-
cal numbers, so many that the audi
ence were sated with their portion.
A company of forty with full or
chestra gave the melange.
1t relates story of the troubles of
two Oxford students, who expect a
visit from wealthy American aunt,
and whom are later forced to utilize
the abilities Of one of their friends as
female impersonator as their aunt.
Mark Scholfield as the eccentric Mr..
Chiswick was by odds the best of the
cast. His characterization of the
part was laughable in the extreme.
George Merklein and A. G. Radke
cleverly gave their parts, but Harry
Kane as the female impersonator
nearly shared honors with Mr.. Schol-
field.
Most of the musical numbers were at
tractive, but the rendition of YOU'RE
Such Lonesome Moon Tonight,
ty Selma Gogg was best received, and
meritoriously so. The young lady
showed rare quality IN her voice.
Mrs. Fleischfresser of this city sang
two pleasing numbers between acts.
Ensemble numbers were encored
several times. However, the most
refreshing "bit," was the work of
chic Catherine Geier and brave little
bud" Hanson, who gave ''double"
as their part. Miss Geier's work
borders closely on the professional.
After the performance local MEM
bers of the order and their guests
danced at Barrett's hall, the special
train departing at 200 O'Clock"

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

There was tragedy enacted at
Stevens Point on Sunday, the 14th,
which resulted in the death of Mrs.
Harold Dawson and her two-year-old
son. Dawson is 500 brakesman, and
it seems did not live happily with his
wife. After some trouble Sunday,
Dawson left the house and when a
few yards away he heard revolver
shots ard returned to find that his
wife had shot the boy and then killed
herself. The Stevens Point Journal
says:
A sequel to a series of domestic
troubles took place shortly after j
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, when Mrs.
Julia Dawson, wife of Howard Daw-
son, 500 line brakeman, took her
own life and that of her son, Robert
not yet two years of age.
The tragedy, one of the saddest
local authorities have had to deal
with in years, was enacted in the

was leaving the house, intending tc
go to the south side, when he heard
two pistol shots in quick succession.
Rushing back into the house he found
his wife and child lying on the flool

they went into the bedroom and
found Mrs. Dawson dead. A revolver

At the coroner's ipouest it devel-
oped that Dawson and his wife had

 h the Presbyterian general as gembly at Rochester action was taken which forbids any minister or elder to give open or secret sup port to the liquor traffic. There is much more to this than may ap- pear ou the surface to the ordinary reader. In the assembly of 1914 there was raised the question of forbiddiug members of the Presby- terian church from belonging to clubs wherein liquor was sold. This was not put to a vote, but the later action is regarded as q step towa,d it from different angle. If such action is taken it will op- cite finally. it may be presumed, iu oue O two ways: either it will drive Presbyterians from the cluos :n nou-prohibition districts or states or it will compel the clubs, in or der to hold valued section of their membership, to close their bars.
 Liquor advertising, consideret with regard to the amount of space ased and the amount Of mon ey UalG for that space, has until IateIv heeu sought by the large ad- yertis.ug agencies and the great newspapers and magazines of the United States. There are some agencies, some newspapers and some magazines otherwise of good r5puts t tat will still take such ad- yerIsing matter, but the number il each instance is rapidly diminish ing.

home-of course only by her father or mother. Billy Perkins met her at a function given by his chief, the am bassador, and fell desperately in love with her.
 D0na Iuez eviuced a desire to learn English. and when Billy offered to teach her her mother was much pleased with the offer The good lady had q high admiration for the English nobil- ity and had formed a design of taking her daughter to England, hoping that her rare beauty would catch an Eng fish nObleman. However this may be, Billy was permitted to come to the house two evenings in the week to give DOua Inez lessons in the English lan- guage. Of course her mother or some member of the family who could be re- lied upon was present to watch that no lovemaking passed between the two young persons. Moreover, whoever was on watch understood enough Eng fish to know if Billy were trying to work that language for the purpose of making love, though, since DOna Inez did not understand q word of English, this was hardly necessary.
 Nothing is so delightful to two young persons of opposite sex as to outwtt those who are placed on guard over them. Biuy's method of teaching Eng fish was to have his pupil read some thing printed iu that language or con- vert something printed from Spanish into the English tongue. This required the use of a Spanish and English die tionary.
 One evening when the two were at work using the dictionary every few minutes, Billy, turning the leaves, stop ped and put his finger on the word your" Then he turned to the words "eyes" and put his finger on that word. In this way he spelled out your eyes are like beautiful twin lakes. and your lashes are like the ruShes growing on the borderS.' Then Inez tOCk the die tionary and by the same means said, You Americans are great fattcrers.' This was followed by a sentence from

Biiiy-"Ther6 Is no such beauty in America as yours"
 These few communications occupied half an hour, but what time was lost In looking up words was gained in the fervor of the sentences. In two or three evenings Billy had made as much love as some men with every facility would make in year. And Dona lneZ, if she was not an apt scholar at learn ing English, certainly understood with marvellous facility what was said to her by this method of communication.
 Before Dona Inez had learN d enough English to catch a British nobleman she had been caught by an American scamp who should have been put in the stocks for daring to make love to the daughter of q Spanish grandee. How ever, he came out frankly at last and one morning, marching boldly into the presence of Don SebastianO, asked him for his daughters hand. The old gen. tleman looked at the American breYet clerk aghast and asked him what he meant. Billy replied that he meant exactly what he said.
 "Are you aware" asked Don Sebas- tiano, that our family were nobles at time when the land In which you were born was inhabited by savages?'
 q am," said Billy, "and are you aware that my ancestors drove your ancestors out of TeXas2 My ancestors bought an oil tract of your ancestors, and now I am In receipt of $20,0O0 a month from the property?"
 Billy intended by this statement to strike the nall on the head, and he did, for Don SebaStiano, with all his blue blood, was as poor as church mouse. Billy married Dona Incz, and the pair now live in winter in Spain, in sum- mcr In America.

WALKING FOR SPEED.
Arm Action, Body Balance and the
 Proper Leg and Foot Motion.

Arm Action, Body Balance and the
 Proper Leg and Foot Motion.
 In starting on the track the novice should hold himself as erect as possi- ble, without, however, leaning at all backward, the arms at the sides, with the forearms in Il horizontal position, at right angles to the part of the arms above the elbows. He should have a feeling of being well balanced on his pins"
 The weight must be kept on the heels therein lies the chief secret of walk ing fairly. Speed depends on two fac tors, the length and the frequency of the stride. Experiments prove that the length of the stride becomes greater as the frequency increases.
 Arm action should be carefully cul- tivated. Properly used, the arms seem to act as levers to lift forward the body, besides helping to balance 1t. In each stride one foot should be always on the ground and at same moment of the stride some part of both feet should be on the ground simultaneously-that is, the first necessity. Second in impor- tance is to have the walk "heel and toe"-that Is, the heel of each foot should strike the ground unmistakably first and the toe of each foot should be the last part to leave it. One should not walk fiat footed, with the ball of the foot or any part except the heel striking the ground before the heel does. Lastly, the knee should be locked" at the end of each strlde-the grounded leg should be stiff and taut as the loose leg swings out for the next stride.-Outlng.

Indeed, since his Ewing was ground out for him by coupons which fell like gold leaves from suudry bonds he had inherited, what be wanted was an apology for occupation. A friend having been appointed secretary of le- gatiou at Madrid, he secured Billy po- sition as Jrevet clerk, which gave him the right to say that he was attached to the embassy. but he was seldom if ever called upon to do any work.
 AS an attaChe of the legation he re- celved invitations, and, since Ameri- cans are considered an unconventional people. he was accorded social fiber ties that other men were not granted. For instance, there were families which he was permitted to visit as young men visit in America-that Is, he was not forced tO converse with young women from the sidewalk, they standing on balcony high above his head. He was permitted to see cer- tain young ladies in their homes, but not alone. Some member of the fam fly other than the lady on whom be called was always present.
 One young lady in whose home he was accorded an entrance was a daugh- ter of Don SebaStiGno Herrera, a Span ish grandee whose family tree was planted in the time of Ferdinand and Isabella. Dona Inez, the daughter, was destined for some nobleman who would be considered worthy to enter the Herrera family.

Story of a Dream.

Of course the medical sharps know it all but let me tell what happened to me. l had a strlkingly vivid dream in which l saw and spoke to a dead friend, and she emphasized what she said by laying her hand on my hair, a trick the dead girl had when living. The subject of her speech has no value. But when I woke l could almost feel her touch still. In day or two mo- ticed my hair looked queer where she touched me, and 1t faded until l had four bars, almost white, across my red mop, just such as would be made by four fngers.-Letter in New York Times.
