Twice-ToId Tale from Caledonia

Reading in The News of the coons

Mrs. Agnes Steele of a time when she
and her husband anticipated "a din

in the house one night and said to
his wife, NANNY, how would you
like some coon for dinner tomorrow
"Fine," said the lady. "Get your
COON"
ST have" said John. 81 killed a
coon on the fence"
At that, Mrs. Steele put the meat
part of the coon on to give it first a
boil. Off and on she tried the meat
with a big fork. 1t didn't get tender.
At last, with hungry feelings grow
ing fierce, and if it ever was boiled
enough, it was then, so the meat was
taken out of the kettle and nicely
fixed in dripping pan for roasting,
and even then, the meat was tried
and often basted, but not wee bit
did it get tender. Just then friend
happened in and to him was told the
toughness of young coon meat.
"Show me te pelt," said the friend.

He managed to pass two Of his dol

He said he had longed for many years

Electing a President

Two presidents have been elected
by the house Of representatives.
In 1900, when Jefferson and Burr
each received 73 electoral votes, JET
ferson was finally elected in the
house on the thirty-sixth ballot, and
Burr was elected vice-president. This
was the last election under the old
method, when the candidate recelV-
ing the second highest number OF
votes became vice-president.
In 1924 the electors chose Calhoun
vice-president, but failed to elect
president. Jackson had the largest
popular vote.
The house elected John Quincy Ad
ans on the first ballot.
In 1885, the electors failing tc
name vice-president, the senate
chose R. NJ Johnson.
In 1876 there were four disputed
states: South Carolina, Florida

TREE FROM FUTILE
FARM FOR CHRISTMAS
DAY CELEBRATION
Fine Specimen Planted by Merritt
TuttIe in the Year
of 1860

Of the many trees placed at the
disposal of the committee having this
part of the work in charge, a giant
Norway spruce which now stands on
the G.. r. Tuttle farm has been select
ed for Baraboo's community Christ
mas celebration. Mr.. Tuttle, himself
a member of the tree committee, and
one of the many active workers IN
Che movement, was the first to offer
a tree.
The mammoth spruce selected by
the committee is fully fifty feet high.
It's lower bOughs have spread or
more than twenty feet. The mighty
tree has stood on the Tuttle farm for
almost sixty years. Imported from
Norway by a New York nursery, It,
with a number of others, was planted
by Mr.. Tuttle's father, Merritt Tut
tie, in 1860. Mr. Tuttle, Sr., was then
a lad of twelve years and the baby
tree barely reached to his knees.
Perfect in contour, it is one Of the
handsomest trees of it's kind in Sauk
county. Stout of branch, it promises
to lend itself admirably to the scneme
of electrical decoration.
Early next week a corps Of work"
men equipped with specially designed
wagons and a quantity of tackle, will
move the giant spruce from its old
home to the courthouse park. The
work will embrace a ticklish task, as
great care must be taken to prevent
the breaking of boughs. F. J. War
rell chairman of the tree committee,
will superintend the job. Once placed
I'm the park, the spruce will be hidden
from the public gaze while the deco
rating is done, and then unveiled at
the appointed time

Formerly Of Baraboo

I have a recent letter from Mrs.
Anna M. Holland, who wishes to be
remembered to old Baraboo friends,
and | know of no better way to send
her greetings to them than through
the columns of the Baraboo News.
Will you, Mr.. Editors, kindly in
sert the following item:
Rev. Fred May Holland was pastor
of the Free Congregational church a
number of years ago. He and Mrs.
Holland made many warm friends,
not only in their church, but In other
churches also. Mr.. Hollands mother
and the mother Of Louisa M. Alcott
were sisters. They were Of the wide
ly known literary family of Mays in
Boston Louisa NJ. Alcott gives her
mother the credit for her becoming
an authOress. Her father, Bronson
Alcott, visited in the BarabOo home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Holland and gave g.
lecture in the church. He commenced
by saying, "My daughter has forbid
den me making any reference to her,
or her books, in my lectures" He
was too proud of her to heed her re-
quest. Mr.. Holland passed away in
May, 1908, in Concord, Mass.
Mrs. Holland has seen much OF
foreign lands, in company with the au-
thoress of Five Little Peppers"
She has spent several winters in the
south and in California. She has
rented her beautiful home on the
river near the Minute Men monu-
ment, Concord, and will be this win
ter in the Colonial Inn, Concord, Mass.

HER LITTLE GAME
DID NOT WORK IN
LODI DRUG STORES

A woman answering the descrip-
tion given in "The Pill" publica-
tion devoted to the interests of the
Wisconsin Pharmaceutical associa-
ton, and which had issued a warn
ing to the druggists in the state to
be on the lookout for such a-person,
blew into town Tuesday morning and
proceeded to attempt the same stunt
as the magazine had warned against.
To an Enterprise reporter woman
had given her name as Mrs. Frank
Thompson and said she was going
to the Ramsey drug store to wait for
one Will Thompson, who, she claimed,
resides in the country and whom she
was going to visit. She went to the
Ramsey drug store and asked to tele-
phone. Upon leaving the store she
tore her skirt on the door and asked
permission to retire behind the pre-
scription case to repair the damage.
This is where the party is supposed
take the narcotic drugs which it is
claimed that the person is after. Mr.
Ramsey did not allow her any oppor-
tunity to get hold of the drugs, how
ever.
Following her visit to the Ramsey
store the woman went to the Gordon
drug store where she remained for
about two hours, still waiting for
the said Will Thompson to call for
her. She did not attempt to tear her
dress here, but Mr.. Gordon had
been informed Of her visit to the
Ramsey store, and having seen the
article in the trade magazine, did
not give her much opportunity to
pull off the same game, although he
was busy trying to devise means
in which to catch her If such game
should be attempted.
The woman left on the noon train,
saying that she possibly had made
a mistake in the town, and went to
Dane, where she spent several hours
at the O'Dwyer store in the after
noon.
AS far as The Enterprise is able
to learn there is no person living
near here by the name of Will
Thompson.
The woman did exactly the same,
and used the same method as was
described in the magazine. 1t says
in part: Knowing thai a man
naturally would step in the front of
the store while she repairs her
skirt, she takes advantage to steal
any narcotic drugs which she may
find. This moman is about As years
old, of medium height, and when
here wore a black skirt and jacket,
a pink waist and a black sailor hat
trimmed with green feathers" It is

WOUNDED DEER FOUND
IN RICHLAND COUNTY

A fine buck weighing about 200
pounds was found on the Marcus farm
on Ash Creek, in Richland county.
The deer had been shot and evidently
travelled some distance. When found
it was unable to walk and suffered
greatly. The state game warden was
notified by phone and he gave instruc-
tions to kill it and ship the carcass to
Madison. The game warden's instruc-
tions were followed. The animal evil
IDENTIFY belonged to the herd that roam
the bluffs in the town of Orion. An ef,
fort is to be made to learn who shot
the deer, as they are protected in all
seasons In Richland county. The fine

WITH A SUSPICION

When Ed Seaman of Gotham, Rich

found a dead deer. The hogs were
feeding on the carcass of the animal
Mr. Seaman examined the deer and
found that it had been shot. 1t is pre-
sumed that it had been wounded and
ran to the hog lot, where it fell and
died. Mr.. Seaman notified the game
warden at once, who requested him to
dress the carcass and hold it until he
advised him Of it's disposition. Mr..
Seaman complied with the request,
but that night person or persons un-
known stole the carcass from Mr..

SPENDS $4,000;
PLEASURE CRAFT

Spending $4,000 for fishing puts it
in class with the sport of kings.
Henry Ringing, the famous circus
magnate, therefore must be listed
among the nimrod kings Of the world,
as one of the most lavish disciples
of Izaak Walton.
Recently there was launched in Mil
waukee waters by the Great Lakes
Boat Building Corporation, a pleas
ure craft built for Mr.. Ringing, spe-
cially designed, and costing $4,000.
Mr.. Ringing spends the greater
part of his time between circus sea-
sons fishing in southern waters.
Wishing comfort with his pleasure,
the circus king-now the nimrod king
ordered the boat builders to con-
struct for him a seaworthy craft, with
a turn of speed Of at least twenty
miles an hour, one with all the COM
forts of large steam yacht, yet capa-
BILE of ascending shallow streams to
the fishing grounds.
The result is a boat forty-eight feet
long with comfortable accommoda~
tions for ten persons and drawing but
twenty-three inches Of water-a craft
truly fit for pleasure king.-Madisoa

Feels Loss of Deer

In regard to the killing OF our pet
deer by the game warden Of Sauk

nifty. 1t surely seems very strange
that any person should have COM
planned of a lone deer eating a little

ChrisIaw Expresses Himself

Does a conservation commission
conserve? I always supposed that a
commission Of that kind was for the
purpose Of protecting the game of our
state. That would seem to be an easy
matter, with the noble army of game
wardens. About a year ago there was
a pair Of tame deer that rOamed over
the hills of Lodi and West Point, and
abobut Gibraltar. They were very
tame, mingling with the farmers cat
tie and sheep about barns and lots.
Some game-hog took it into his brain
less head to shoot the doe. That left
the buck, and he has been protected
by the people of Lodi and West Point
until last week when the Sauk county
him to Milwaukee.
When asked why he killed the pet
deer, the warden said that certain
West Point farmer had made COM
plaint to the state game warden that
the deer had become vicious and dan
gerous to children, and had prodded
an eye out of one Of his COWS; that
he then received word from the state
warden to proceed to West Point, and,
if he found evidence sufficient, to kill
the deer and ship him to Milwaukee.
The warden said he found the cows
eye very bad; that she might lose it.
he also remarked that the owner OF
the cow seemed disappointed because
he (the warden) did not present him
with the deer, or at least a part OF it
Now, then, the people of this vi
cinity would like to know why the
state commission sent the Sauk coun
| ty warden to kill our deer, when we
have a warden in Columbia county
and also local warden-Mr. Sparks
who certainly knows the conditions
| better than stranger. We would like
to know, Mr.. Game Warden, why you
asked only one man, and he the one
who made complaint, if this deer was
vicious? The cows eye is all right
not a mark on her. Why did you no
ask some Of the people who had fet
and cared for this deer for the las
