Those who think this is a late
spring should note that the ice is
practically all out of the big rivers,
only an occasional large cake is COM
ing down stream. From CassvilIe
comes the report that the ferry boat
was launched on the 18th of this
month, which is early, as springs go
in this section of the country.
Those who come into this section
from other parts of the country seem
surprised to see so much snow. OF
course there was little of the beauti-
full left on hand last Saturday, ex-
cept the small amount spit the night
before, but along the fence rows one
might see banks two feet deep, and
in shaded places around town ice and
snow were yet visible. A person
from southern Michigan, who came to
Lancaster last week, was clearly sur
prised to see snowbanks.
That flock of hens belonging to
George @. Sykes did very decent
thing by the memory of st. Patrick,
on last week Wednesday. Perhaps
they did not intend it, but such occur
rences do not look quite like coinci-
dences. There are II hens in the
flock, as the story goes around town,
and on the 18th day of March they
layed II eggs. That March II was
ST. Patrick's day may not have occur
ed to the hens, and again it may be
that there is force and potency and
suggestion in numbers. Who's to
say?
Charles A. Dyke, formerly chief
operator on the Madison division
with headquarters at Baraboo, but
now retired, discovered the other day
in looking over an old memoranda
book that he gave Emanuel L. Philip,
now governor of Wisconsin, job as
night operator at Lodi in 1882, tax
ing him from some station where
Phillip, then boy, had just COM
pleted his apprenticeship at the
telegraph instrument. Being forced
to be absent from his post for a
couple of years owing to paralysis of
an arm at about this time, Mr.. Dyke
lost track of the boys career until he
turned up as governor few months
ago.-Baraboo News.
When the editor was out in the
shop one day last week, he heard a
mighty disturbance in the office, fol-
lowing the entrance of somebody.
Besides pounding on the floor with a
stick, the new arrival was shouting,
Burglars, burglars" in a loud, but
net very threatening tone of voice.
