DO TRIFLES ANNOY ?

What a blessed thing it is that we
can forget. Today's troubles look
large, but week hence they will be
forgotten and buried out of sight.
Says one writer: eff you keep book
and daily put down the things that
worry you, and see what becomes of
them, it would benefit you. You
allow a thing to annoy you, just as
you allow fly to settle on you and
plague you; and you lose your temper
and you justify yourself by being
thrown off your balance by causes
which you do not trace out. But if
you could see what it was that threw
you off your balance before break
fast, and put it down in little book,
and follow it up and follow it out,
and ascertain what becomes of it, you
would see what fool you were in the
matter" The art of forgetting is
blessed art, but the art of overlook
ing is quite as important. And If we
should take time to write down the
origin, progress and outcome OF few
of our troubles, it would make us so
ashamed of the fuss we make over
them, that we should be glad to drop
such things and bury them at once in
eternal forgetfulness. Life is too
short to be worn out in petty worries,
frettings, hatreds and vexations.

RICH INDIANS.

$500, 500 is to be distributed among
547 Chippewa Indians on the Bad
river reservation. Most of the In
dians are children. Besides the cash
each Indian will have title of the
land on which the timber stands.
This will make the Bad river bunch
of Chippewas. the richest in our
country. The Chippewas have tanned
down some since the times when they
used to receive their annual payments
in Wausau some fifty years ago.
Then they used to give their war
dances in the village of Wausau, be-
ing taken before various homes by
prominent men, much the same as a
serenading party goes about on an
evening in these days. Then, too,
some would take an overload of fire
water and literally paint the town a
bright vermilion until taken In
charge by the village marshal 1t is
different now; the aborignees are be-
coming civilized.

master general has notified poStmast-
ers that effective September l a re-
ceipt will be issued to the sender of
parcel post packages on the payment

COLD SEASON.
The Summer Of 1915 Will Go Down in
History as Frosty One.

Throughout the state, the past
week is reported as a very cold one.
In Wausau, furnace and stove fires
have been going full blast to keep
occupants warm. This is something
very unusual, but we are no worse off
than those who live in any part of
the state; the same condition has
existed in the southern part of Wis
consin. Here, on Wednesday night.
there was heavy frost, again it
settled down on this section Thurs
day night: though very cold Friday
night there was no frost. Again Mon
day there was heavy frost. 1t has
simply blighted everything in the
vegetable line and Towering plants
not protected. 1t is very unusual
state of affairs. However, our farm
ers have not suffered to any great ex-
tent. for they have harvested bumper
crops.

immediate supervision of Fred Zent-
ner of that firm. Forty instruments

statement that after this seasons S
saving is closed there will be logs
enough in the boom to last all the
mills until July next season, and
that in consequence thereof logging
operations this winter will not be as
extensive as last winter.
During the past week large crews

THE GAME LAWS.

A good many changes have been
made in the fish and game laws of the
state, which our sportsmen will do
we'll to heed
The season for deer is from Nov.
llth to Nov. Both inclusive Each
license holder can only take one deer
and that must be buck.
Muskrat season has been changed
from Oct. Is to fifteen days later in
the northern counties and one month
later in the lower counties.
The partridge or ruffled grouse are
given uniform season in all of the
counties from Sept. 7 to Oct 81. Ten
may be taken each day except in
Washington and Ozaukee counties,
where limit of two each day is pro-
vided. Prairie chicken, pinnated
grouse and sharp tailed grouse may
be hunted from Sept. to Sept. 80,
with limit of five each day, except
in Waukesha county where the sea-
son closes on Sept. Is and in Vernon
and Chippewa counties the season
closes Nov. 30.
Wild duck, including American
cOot and mud hen, may be hunted
from Sept. to Nov. 30. The state
law conforms with the federal law in
every respect. Wood duck and wood
cock are the'exceptions to the above
statement, these birds having no open
season.
AS many of the huntsmen go to and
from their hunting grounds in autos,
attention is called to a new law
which prohibits hunting or killing of
any wild bird from an automobile,
motorcycle or other vehicle.
In the laws pertaining to game fish
fewer changes were made than for
game birds and animals. The general
open season has been set for May 80
instead of May 30. The legal length
of trout that may be kept has been
changed from 6 inches to seven inches
and the season in the counties of
Douglas, Bayfield,, Iron and Ashland
has been made to open fifteen days
later than formerly and in the coun-
ties of Sheboygan, Fond du Lac and
Manitowoc to close one month earlier.
The length of pike has been changed
from twelve to thirteen inches and
pickerel from twelve to sixteen inch
es. The weight of muskellunge has
been changed from eight to five
pounds in the round, while the length
of black bass remains ten inches as
before. Several lakes in Forest coun-
ty have been closed against fishing
for pickerel for the purpose of giving
them a chance to reStock.

MANY ROBBERIES
THE PAST WEEK.

Last Tuesday night thief or g
brace of them made a good haul from
many Of Wausau's dental offices. II
appears that gold was the chief thing
sought, though in some cases sets Of
teeth were taken. Offices were brok
en- into early in the evening in some
cases. DIR. f. L. Joslin's office was
entered between the hours of six and
seven and $3.50 in gold taken and nine
sets of teeth. This is the second rob-
berry sustained by the doctor and his
family within the past six months.
In April the clothes line in his yard
was stripped of $500 worth of cloth
ing. There were a number of other
clothes line robberies committed at
that time.
DR.. l. B. Thackray's office was en-
tered the same evening and about
$500 in gold taken.
The robber entered DIR. G. w. Club
bucks Office and took a small sum
of gold amounting to S400, but it
would have been much great
er if the gold had not been stored in
the safe.
DR.. G. G. Anderson found broken
skeleton key in his door when he re-
turned after supper. The accident
prevented the person from gaining
admittance.
DR.. B. H. Conlin's office was visited
by the thieves, but whether they
gained entrance and made way with
goods is not known, as the doctor is
out of the city.
Miss Grace Cummings, who con-
ducts beauty parIors over Ploss' Phar-
macy, was robbed of about $4,000
worth of goods.
There has been gang of thieves
working the dental rooms at Merrill,
Amigo, Green Bay, Oshkosh and 9TH
er cities. DR.. Metcalf of Merrill, is
said to have had Sl0O in gold taken.
These thieves were not with or fol-
lowing the Barnum & Bailey circus

the circus was here. The show had
about $50 negro roustabouts. 1t was
pay day and these negroes went to
nearby saloons outside of the city
limits and filled up on squirrel" and

rows, hold-ups and general discord. A
young couple in the shooting park
we're used roughly by negros, hit with
clubs and about $40 taken from them.
Another young couple had money and
ewelry stolen from them on the fair
grounds. While our police force did all

without avail. Later, those who had

OUR PHILIPPINE TRADE,

Trade seems to follow the flag, all
right. The United States in the fiscal
year, 1914, for the first time supplied
more than one-half of the imports
into the Philippine Islands, namely,
IL per cent, as against IA per cent in
1904. The imports into those islands
in 1914, according to official figures
published by the InSular Bureau of
the war department and reprinted in
the Statistical Abstract of the United
States, included $28,572, 900 worth of
merchandise from the United States
and $27, 44O,0 900 from other countries,
while in the same year those islands
sent to this country s22, LOAF, 900 worth
OF merchandise, as against S29,191, 900
sent to other countries. Statistics COW
ering later period and including
nine months ending with March, 1915,
published by the department of COM
merce through the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, indicate a
marked decrease in shipments to the
Philippine Islands from the United
States and a considerable increase in
value of their shipments to this coun-
try when compared with the same Pc
riCd one year ago. The value of Ship
ments from the United States 70 the
Philippine Islands in the nine months
ending with March was 6,434,0OO
as against S21 ,44S,000 in a like period
of last year, and shipments from those
islands to the United States in the
ten months of the current year were
valued at $1S,9S4,o00, as against
S12,23S,OOO last year. Cotton goods
