[ see by the latest copy Of the Bara-
boo Weekly News to reach me that
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Cowles of Bara-
boo have just had an informal cele-
bTation of their siXtieth wedding day.
II they belong to the same family of
Cowles that I used to know in Bara-
. boo, and I think they do, l desire to
extend my congratulations My friends
in the family were the late DR..
Cowles, James Cowles, Henry Cowles
and S. E. C0wles, with AL of whom I
was we'll acquainted and on friendly
terms. My congratulations are due
and hereby extended to the happy
couple.
I have to add to the interest of the
occurrence by saying that if we live
to the second day of January, 1917,
not a very long way off in point of
time, my wife and myself will have
been married 81 years. Our wedding
took place in Granville, Ohio, where
I was born and where we got our
learning, such as it was, and the Off
ciating minister was the same Rev.
Thomas Coslette, who in 1858 or 1859
was sent from Ohio to Baraboo to
take charge of the newly organized
parish of st. Pauls, succeeding Rev.
Hugh Miller Thompson, later a bish-
op, whom few people in Baraboo to-
day will remember.
We came to Wisconsin in March Of
that year, going first to Fond du Lac,
where we remained about one year
and half
I went to Madison in the summer
of 1856, and cast my first presidential
vote for John G. Fremont. l return
ed to Fond du Lac, and, in after years,
voted twice for Abraham Lincoln.
In 1867, at the invitation of the late
Col. D. K. Noyes I went to Baraboo
to take charge of The Baraboo indie
pendent. did my first editorial work
on that paper. 1t makes me laugh now
to think that at that time nothing but
hops was thought of. My first edito-
rial was plea for the Sank County
Agricultural society.
Mr.. Noyes sold the Independent to
Col. D. e. Vittum and M. J. Brown,
and they sold to w. III. Garfield, who
made Democratic paper Of it. Then
came Shanghai Chandler and I went
to the Republic. Later I issued the
Lodi Valley News for thirty years.
I still have a few friends in Bara-
boo whom I esteem very highly.
For further information concern
ing the newspapers Of Baraboo, the
reader is invited to see j. S. Briscoe
or Hugh Kelley.
I am now 80.

They Recommend the "Outside" Appli. cation of Vap.O-Rub Instead of
 Harmful Internal Dosing.

Intelligent mothers everywhere real ize that little children should be dosed sparingly, and yet some treatment for cold troubles is necessary. Joplin. Mo, mothers have solved this problem by the use of Vap-O-Rub. This is the external Southern treatment intro. duced here last winter Applied at night over the throat and chest, the heat of the body releases the ingredi- ents in the form of vapors, and thus the medication is inhaled with each breath through the air passages to the lungs. Vap-O-Rub gives quicker relief than internal medicines, and can be used freely with perfect safety on the smallest child.
 Mrs. Mabel Hawkins, 1407 Pearl St., Joplin, writes-'My druggist sent me
