FIND STOLEN
FORD IN
WOODS

The automobile stolen from the
home of F. H. Schroeder on Saturday
night and belonging to August Heinz
of Loganville, has been found where
the woods are most dense on the East
Sank road. Evidently joy riders had
taken the car, gone over the bluff on
the west Sank road and were return
ing by the lake route when they met
with disaster. When located by Emil
Werlich on Sunday the car was about
five miles from Baraboo. The wind
shield was bent, the glass broken and
the radius rods bent, which made it
difficult to steer the machine. Soon
after it was established who owned.
the car the owner was notified.
Others Find the Car
On Monday afternoon John Stadler
and William Schoephoerster drove a
team to the south side of the bluff
for some stock. On the way over. on
the East Sank road, near the town
line, they found an abandoned Ford
automobile in the highway 1t was
about squarely across the track and
it was with some difficulty that they
were able to get around it. They
supposed that by the time they re.
turned in the evening the machine
would be gone. When they came
back about 8 o'clock, however, the
car was still there, the moonlight
plainly outlining the machine. They
showed the car to one side and came
on home. On making inquiry it was
learned that the car had been report
ed to the authorities on Sunday.
The car seemed to be slightly dam.
aged, and evidently was not in work.

not received much attention since
automobiles have come into such IA

are places badly washed, and the

The car has been brought to Bara-

THE CLOWNS FACE.
Pathetic Incident From Which the Use
 of Black Lines Come.

Pathetic Incident From Which the Use
 of Black Lines Come.
 "One of the greatest tragedies of the theater," said a prominent come dian, lis connected with the clown.
 ., "In the time of Louis XIV. there was famous clown known as Fat William (Gros Guillaume), who held his audience in the Rue Fayari by his wonderful eccentricities of gesture, voice and mimicry. One night, so the legend runs, his wife was dying, and he was still obliged to go on and en- certain the clanking, clashing, ribald Partisan mob that stood in, the pit. It was in the days before there were seats in the orchestra.
 Like all imitators of the Italian 'commedia,' his face was whitened with flour. Under the burden of his great domestic sorrow he was stupid and slow in his performance, and in order to stir him up his companion on the stage hit him resounding whack with a heavy cane. The con- bination of his sentimental troubles and the physical pain caused Gros Gulllaume to weep. As the tears streamed down over his whitened face the aspect was so comical that the au- dience> cheered and laughed itself into Mysteries. And ever since then every clown has black lines on his whitened face.
 Many are the black lines on the face of the actor that the, audianco knows not of."-Chicago Tribune.

A Wise Provision.


 Did you ever notice when man smites his thumb with hammer while putting down carpet under his wifes supervision how quickly he thrusts the bruised and throbbing member into his mouth? People think it is because the application is soothing. But the move ment is purely inveluntarily, like wink ing. The man cannot help it. The fact is that nature knows what man is apt to say under such circumstances and so has provided him with an auto matic stopper. Whenever he hits his thumb hard enough to hurt-and it doesn't take very hard blow almost to kill man when he is doing some thing he doesn't like to do-by sort of interlocking system his thumb flies into his mouth, and for the critical moment speech is cut off.
