However, this season Mr.. Gentry
and his brothers have decided to
make, old Santa Claus good and
jealous, in fact, they have gone and
put the jolly old gentleman Tut Of

done this by combining their four

town Sunday morning and with
them they bring Pinto, the baby
elephant, the friend of boys and
girls in every city the country over.
Pinto is Big Baby.
Pinto is jolly, rollicking baby,
born in the teak forests of far off
Burma, where he learned to play
with the brown skinned little Bur
maese boys and girls, who rode
him about the big government com
pounds in which his father and
mother took their leisure, chained
to huge stakes, after their days
work for the Englishmen at the
teak hauling. Playing about the
compound during the hot hours OF
the work days, Pinto got to under
stand little human tots as no ele-
plant ever did before, and now, in
he has become just as
fond Of white boys and girls as he
was of the little Burmese.

Pinto and his scores OF little |
friends may be seen having the

for they shrek with laughter. OF
course, Pinto does not really laugh,
but his eyes twinkle and he smiles,
waving his trunk from side to side,
while the dogs, looking on, wag
their tails, and the ponies neigh
their pleasure.
What does Pinto play at, when
he is with the kiddies? Why, he
plays horse, naturally, just like any
other youngster, and, because Of
his good nature, he insists on being
the horse and having his human
on his back or In the

SWIMMING POOL

Wausau has reached a stage when
he was busy exchanging greetings.
the Wisconsin river, in fact there
should be a couple of central places
where all can go and take a swim.
The Wisconsin river flows through the
center of our city and there are many
places where temporary arrangements
at least can be made to meet this long
felt want The first swimming hole
in Wausau was just below the high
bridge on Scott street, on the east
bank. There were enough bushes and
trees growing to hide the bathers from
the view of those living half a block
further down the river. Another very
popular place for the boys, fifty years
ago or more, was down below the
Stewart mill, which is now used for
piling grounds; another was up on
the booms, opposite the water works
station. Then many little streams,
like Little and Big Rib, and Eau Claire,
where the boys still go and have a
good time. Now if person wants to
enjoy a good swim he has to go to
Schofield or Rothschild.

Library held its annual meeting at the
library building last Tuesday after
noon.
Miss Cora I. Lansing, librarian, gave
her annual report for the year ending
June 80, 1916. The following is taken
from her report:
although the increase in circulation
is not as great as that of last year, the
report shows very creditable gain.
Additional shelf room is very much
needed. We are handicapped by hav-
ing to put books any and every place
but the right place. An extra room
for lectures, class meetings, story
hours, ETC., could be used. Mr.. Lam
pert resigned and the mayor appoint
ed Mr. Gearhart to represent the city
council in Mr.. Lampert's place. Mrs.
Harger resigned, after many years
of faithful service, and Mrs. P. w.
Sawyer appointed in that place.
Miss Gertrude Pierce resigned after
nine years of service. In Oct
ober we took Miss Helen Curtis
and Miss Olive Wells as apprentices.
In February Miss Wells left and Miss
Curtis was hired as a regular assist
ant June 1st. Miss Ruth Tobey is
doing work this summer, but she goes
to Library school this fall. Books
have been added to each department.
The Wausau Sunday school associa-
ton turned over to us the books in
their library. The total circulation
was 1886. Children's books, 32,258;
adult, 43,62S. Foreign books are in
greater demand. Teachers used 1916
books on their special privilege cards
besides many clippings, pamphlets,
mounted pictures and poems. About
so books have been sent to the fire
department stations and so to the Boy
Scouts reading room at the Univer-
salist church. Under binding and
mending: books rebound, 286; maya
zines, 115; magazines mended in the
library, 1898, withdrawn for all rea-
sons, GAG. The work in the reference
department increases each year. $3.50
active cards are in force at this time.
During the year, 1881 new readers
have been registered, 1130 adults and
S51 children. 401 have been re-regis-
tered and 1887 withdrawn. 12S peo-
pie outside the city, but residents of
the county, have been added to the list.
Your librarian visited every public
school and some of the parochial
schools in the city during the year
and talked to the children and teach
ers about their library. Over 20 rooms
were visited and talks given ON the
Garden and Flower show to be given
this fall. The bird house exhibit was
very successful one. During "Baby
Week" talks were given on the re-
sources of the library, etc. We have
had several exhibits during the year.
We sent 400 pounds of magazines to
lumber camps. About IS school dis
tricts in the county have been supplied
with boxes of from so to 200 pounds.
Many friends have sent us books,
flowers, magazines, plants, ETC."

rian's report she expresses thanks to

MOVER NEED NOT FILE A REPORT

Recently there was an ordinance
passed by the city council making
it obligatory for draymen or others,
who moved household goods of any
person or family, to fill out a blank
giving notice to the city clerk, with
names, dates, location, etc. A few
weeks ago Chas. Wegner moved
family and refused to comply with the
ordinance, saying that it was not valid.
The case came up before Judge Mar
chetti, municipal judge, and was tried
on Wednesday. He dismissed the
case on the grounds that the ordinance
was not valid.
