THE CHRISTMAS STORY.

The FLOWING is a language lesson
or story, written in three parts, by
three different pupils in Grade iii
of Mexico Central School:
THE JOURNEY.
Once there lived in Nazareth Mary
and Joseph. The King said all the
people must go to Bethlehem to pay
their taxes. But we have no don
key" said Mary. Perhaps, said
Joseph, 1--WE may use our neighbor's. ."
When they arrived at Bethlehem
watchman in the street cried out,
mo more room at the inn, no more
room at the inn!"
Joseph said, 81 will find a place to
sleep" That night a wonderful
thing happened. A bright light
shone in the stable. The baby Jesus
was born. Fred Campbell,
THE SHEPHERDS.
Shepherds watched their fiocks by
night. A wonderful light shone
about them. They were frightened
An angel said unto them, Fear not
for behold, bring you good tidings
of great Joy, which shall be to all
people. For unto you is born this
day in the City of David a savior
which is Christ the Lord"
Then angels sang, GLORY to God
in the highest, and on earth peace
good will toward men,"
The shepherds went to Bethlehem
There they found the baby Jesus
lying in a manger.
Gladys Fontella Hamilton.
THE WISE MEN.
Once there were some wise mer
who watched the stars. They saw 9
strange star which was larger and
brighter than the others. They stud,
led and thought it must be the
Christ-child's star.
Let us follow the STAR" said the
wise men. The star led them to Beth.
lehem There the star stopped and
shone over the stable where was
the Christ-child indeed.
They gave rich and costly pres.
ents to the child Jesus.
Mary Lucille Wooten.

NEW LIBRARY FOR SHAWAN.
Work on $4,000 Building to Be Start.
ed at Once-Was Started Fifteen
Years Ago.

Shawano.-Contracts for the con-
struction Of Shawanos Carnegie lib
rary will be awarded and work on the
$4,000 building will be started at
once. 1t Is planned to finish the struc-
ture, planned by Madison architects
who have drawn the plans for most OF
the more recent libraries in the state,
by Aug /.
The Shawano public library was
started about fifteen years ago by the
Woman's club. 1t was maintained sew.
eral years by private subscriptions and
from socials, etc About six years ago
the city council appropriated $500 a
year for library purposes. This about
paid the rent and the librarian and
what money was spent for books was
secured through entertainments. Three
years ago the council gave the board
$500 a year, which was enough for all
expenses and books.
Last summer the library board went
before the council to secure an in.
crease of $500, making the annual ap-
preparation $1,000, then application
was made to the Carnegie foundation
for an appropriation Of $4,000 for
public library building. This was
granted, and the board secured plans
for the proposed building. The pro-
posed building will be 32x60 feet with
basement and first floor The build
ing will be plain one; Mission or
tapestry brick will be used.

Domestic Trouble.

Stevens Point-With her husband
in the next room, Mrs Harold W. Daw-

yolver and then sent a bullet through
her own brain. Both died instantly
When the husband an employee of
the 500 line, rushed into the bedroom
he found the two bodies lifeless on

The police here say that domestic
trouble was the cause of the woman's
act. She had been married five years.
The couple had been living in Stevens
Point for three years.
A second child a 4-year-old girl,
was recently taken by the husband to
Rhinelander to live with his parents.

NITRATE OF SODA
AS A Fertilizer
Top Dressing on Old Meadow Is
Almost Certain to Show
Marked Results.

On an old meadow which has not
been properly fortified, a top dress
ing Of nitrate of soda is almost GER
tain to show very marked results. The
farmer Is likely to be SO enthusia site
over the showing made that he at
once concludes that nitrogen is the
one facto- needed to make his hay
crop a profitable one. Right here lies
the danger. While the first applica-
ton of nitrate of soda may show these
marked results, 1t is not by any means
safe to conclude that nitrogen is the
only element of fertility needed.
Repeated applications Of nitrate of
soda may soon result in no apparent
benefit and even result in a final con-
dition worse than the original condi-
ton. The first application Of nitrate
Of soda shows such marked results be-
cause there is marked deficiency of
nitrogen in the soil; but there Is suf-
fcient of the other fertilizing ele-
ments. particularly phosphorus and
potassium, to balance the nitrogen
used.
The increased crop yields from the
use Of nitrate of soda make an in
creased drain upon the available phos-
phorus and potassium Of the soil. No
effort being made to replace these ele.
ments thus removed the time very
soon comes when NO response is re-
ceived from the application of nitrate
of soda because the phosphoric acid
and potash have been depleted, or.
in other words, are the limiting fac.
tors.
AS a rule. where nitrate OF soda is
used as fertilizer it is a safe princi-
pie to use in connection with it some
form of phosphorus and potassium,
having in mind permanent results
rather than temporary increase due
to the nitrate of soda.

LAND PURCHASE
IS HELD INVALID
CONSTITUTION NOT PROPERLY
AMENDED, is DECISION OF
HIGH COURT.
TRUST DIVERSION UNLAWF I'll
Amendment to the Constitution De-
signed to Permit Works of In
ternaI Improvement Not
Legally Adopted.

Madison.-The supreme court has
decided the forestry case, which has
been in court for some time against
the state. Justice Marshall wrote the
opinion
In substance the court holds that
section 10 OF article s of the consti-
tuition was not legally amended; that
the land contracts for the purchase
of forestry reserve lands are void and
not authorized by the statute. The
present forestry statutes are uncon-
stitutional and void; that the diver
sion of the trust funds Is unlawful. and
referee, the Hon. Samuel ID. Has
tings Green Bay, is appointed to state
the account between the state and its
trust funds, and a lien on the lands
belonging to the trust funds and I'M
lawfully sold is declared.
The amendment to the constitution
designed to permit works Of internal
Improvement, at state expense, as to
forestry matters, was not legally
adopted, says the court.
The board OF land commissioners
and Judge Samuel D. Hastings Of
Green Bay are named to make an ac-
counting OF all Of the transactions
cision, and they are to report to the
court which will then make final ad
justment settling up the affairs of the
forestry department.
The decision in the width of its
scope In wiping out a state policy is
the most important which has been
handed down in Wisconsin in many
years. The action In which 1t is the
decision was started as a friendly
suit by state ex rel Atty.-Gen. Walter
C. Owen VS.. Secretary of State Johr
S. Donald.
Under the forestry decision" said
State Forester f. NJ Griffith, "the
state forestry department as consti-
tuted will continue as it Is now. The
work Of administration is not touched
upon by the supreme courts decision.
1t is unconstitutional until the consti-
tuition Is amended for the state to pur.
chase any more land primarily for
forestry purpose, but the legislature
can purchase additional lands to en-
nance the value of the trust fund
land, and they can be managed Incl.
dentally as part of the forest reserve.
THE lands in the forestry reserves
are derived from number of sources.
In 1905 the remaining swamp land was
serve by act of the legislature. All
these lands are now held to belong to
the school trust fund The extent Of
this land was 342,746 acres.

Pays in Full.

Acknowledgement in terms Of
cash are the figures which appear in
the record OF State Treasurer John
son these days. The time for paying
the first half of the railroad tax ex-
pired, as did the date for counties to
pay their dues to the state. AS a re-
suit there was added TO the treasury

$l,000,000 paid by the counties. and
the recent additions to the cash bal
ance total something more than
100000
The Northwestern paid its full first
half of the tax, sS22,962S1, making
the total $l221,15O.22.
These payments clean up the first
half-payment of taxes by the railroads,
the amount due Feb. Is being 1880
92352. Two small roads. the Robbins
company and the Chicago g. Lake Su.
perior are the only ones now delin.
quent. their present dues amounting
to only $38316. The Illinois Central,
following its usual practice, has paid
its full tax, $14,660.07, anticipating
the August payment by six months.
