WENT OUT LAST SATURDAY

The ice went out at Stevens Point
last Saturday doing much damage,
bath houses and cottages along the
shores of the river were wrecked. The
ice in its strongest parts was three
and one-half feet thick. Jams were
formed and the water raised as high
as four feet before it gave way. Ice
was thrown upon the shore and trees
cut down. While there was some
damage, still the people of our sister
city can rest pretty easy now it is
over.

WONDERFUL.

Fine Arts. The little man with the
hunted look ON his face was standing
before the mummy of an Egyptian
princess. Isn't it wonderful" he sigh

a woman dry up and stay that way?"
And silently wiping away tear he
hurried out and caught car, for it
was only twenty minutes to dinner
time.-BostOn Post.

that every person in the city and coun-
ty cooperate in the plans and prepar-

much grander than the man we sing

keeping we'll. Her work depends upon
her good health, and she sees to it that
she keeps we'll. The same thing is
true of soldier. of the railroad engi-
neer, or the Office man. In truth, it is
the same with all of us no matter
what our position in life or the duties
that devolve upon us. Let us, there
fore, prepare by keeping ourselves fit
for whatever may come.
A nation that truly and wisely pre-
pares itself for great deeds, in time Of
war will make itself race of citizens,
that will accomplish still greater
things in times of peace. This because
they have learned to turn their sepa-
rate habits, and lives in the way of
health, discipline and efficiency. So it
is with the individual who prepares
for the duties to come by making them
selves fit before duty calls.

DON'T BE A GUTTER.

Dayy Crockett said: First be sure
you are right, and then go ahead" He
might have added, Don't be gutter"
The world admires a determined
man, man who in the face of adver-
sity, having set his face toward a GER
tain goal, strives on, refusing to be-
come a gutter.
But the world detests and despises
a man who has no stability of charac-
ter or firmness of purpose, and who at
the first sight of danger and opposi-
tion recoils, throws up his hands and
becomes a gutter. This sort of man
never succeeds. He is worth but lit
tie to himself and nothing to the
world, in that he accomplishes moth
ing for himself, or for mankind, hence
he is but a filed of space.
A young man just starting in life
will do well to bear in mind the in
junction, Don't be gutter" Decide
upon what you want to do, and then go
at it with the determination to do or
die, and nine times out of ten he will
succeed; his efforts will be crowned
with success, while the world will ap-
plaud over his accomplishments. But,
ON the other hand, if he starts out on
the road of life in an indeterminate
way, failure will be sure to overtake
him before he is hardly started The
world, always ready to criticise and
discourage, will cry, I'VE told you so"
What more could be expected; he was
a gutter.
God has placed us in this world for
a purpose. We all have duties to per-
form, and if we live up to the re-
quirements of God and man we will
never be dubbed gutter.

NO SYMPATHY CAN
Be FOUND THERE

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. There may
be some pace where a wife and chill
cren deserted by the husband and
father can find a modicum of sympathy,
but they needn't look for it around
the Georgia house of representatives.,
ss demonstrated by the action of that
body in taDling a bill make it mis-
demeanor for a man to abandon his
wife and children in destitute circum-
stances.
It apeared from the line Of talk
handed out by the members of the
house who spoke against the bill, es-
pecially the lawyers who have prac-
tice in the divorce courts, that they re-
gard the husband of the state as the
ones in need, of sympathy and not the
wives
The bill had passed the senate prac-
tically with no opposition and was
unanimously recommended by the ju-
dietary committee of the house, but
the house killed the bill with only a
handful Of votes in its favor.

DARKEST JUST BEFORE DAWN.

We are told that the darkest hour is
just before the dawn; that every cloud
las its silver lining, and that it is a
long lane that never turns.
God in his all-wise wisdom has seen
to it that these things are true, and
we'll that he has, for many a heart
would be broken. were it not for the
hope that is held out in such phrases
as these.
How often in life do we stop just
short of success, for no other reason
than that we are discouraged by ap-
parent impossibilities? The task
seems too big for us to overcome, and
we falter by the wayside, when, if we
would but go on the shadows would
soon disappear. and we'd get where the
sun would be shining, and to have
pressed on farther would have meant
victory. But instead we are prone to
become discouraged and sometimes,
right on the threshold of success ana
achievement. To meet just such ex-
igency and to encourage the faltering
ones, is responsible for the coinage of
the above phrases.
1t sometimes happens in the midst
of a great anxiety that not ray of
hope or encouragement breaks over
our pathway. There seems absolute
~ nothing to give us cheer or in
crease our strength. We feel as
though defeat had marked us for its
own, and as though life held only Bit
terness for the days to come. In la
ter years, we look back along down
the corridors of time and we can see
that times like these were always fol-
lowed by rift in the clouds, and the
return of the sunshine
When such obstacles loom up in our
pathway it needs only stout heart and
q patient spirit to weather such times
successfully. There never was a
night so dark as to have hindered the
coming day, nor storm so furious or
dreadful as to prevent the return of
the sunshine, and a cloudless sky"
Therefore, when everything seems at
its worst and the clouds hang dark
and heavy. begin to look for some
thing. And when the darkest hour of
the night throws its mantle about you,
begin to watch for the light of the
east; always remembering that cit is
long lane that has no turning"
