the presence Of others, where with
due formality they babe one another

Lucia insisted on a protracted tour
of travel covering wide distances.
He yielded to her slightest whim,
weary and sad-heaTted as he realized
how little there was in her outside of
being a wilful, spoiled child.
Then they drew closer to one an
other, the mismated pair, for a little
one came to the household and the
secret chords of DOre's being were
stirred to a new source of interest
and love. 1t was after that when a
revelation came that made him still
more devoted to Lucia. The doctor
had told her father that her frail
constitution was broken, that insidi-
GUS disease was wasting her Eitals,
that she would not live through the
year.
It came to pass, her gradual fading
away, and Dore was widOwer Then

world with a helpless little infant on
his hands.
Little Lois became the one object
in life upon whom he now centered
his love and care. For a time he was
fearful that the child might inherit
the constitutional weakness of her
mother, and his constant anxiety ex-
acted unusual and unnecessary med
ical care in behalf of the baby. AS
two years passed by, however, and
the child grew stronger and happier
day by day, DOre began to direct all
his plans to be content to spend his
life for the care and happiness of this
dear companion.
On account of the little one he re-
moved from the city a pretty suburb,
where fresh air and green fields

heard of Miss Benson. He thought
of her often, however, and wondered
how fate had treated her. Of course,
an attractive woman like her would
have married long since. He valued
the memory that placed her high in
his estimation, but felt that so far as
any mutual interest was concerned,
his hopes and affection were like an
aforementioned story in the old
time entOmbed.
Dore was absent at a distant city
on a most important business mis-
sion, when a telegram reached him
signed by his hOuseeepekr announc-
ing that little Lois was Ill, but in good
hands and that his immediate return
was not imperative. DOre wired back
to advise him daily of the child's con-
ditiOp. The reports were so vague
simply containing an assurance that
Lois was well cared for, that he
traced a certain mystery about the
same which troubled him. He hur-
ried through with his work and start
ed for home.
He was met at the depot by the
doctor. The latter after some cir
comlocutiOn explained the situation
to him.
Your wish to see your little child
is natural, Mr.. Dore," he said, but
that is impossible for the present"

During the civil war some western
men called on Abraham Lincoln and
criticised his policies, to which the
president replied: Gentlemen, want
you to suppose a case for a moment.
Suppose that all the property you
were worth was in gold and you put
it in the hands of Blondin. the famous
rope walker, to carry across the Mag
ara Falls on a tight rope. Would you
shake the rope while he was passing
over it, or keep shouting to him,
'Blondin, stoop a little more! Go
little faSter?' No. l am sure you
would not. You would hold your
breath as well as your tongue and
keep your hands off until he was safe
ly over. Now, the government is in the
same situation. 1t is carrying an
immense weight across a stormy ocean.
Untold treasures are in its hands. 1t
is doing the best it can. Don't badger
it! Just keep still and it will get
you safely over"
President Wilson is working over
time to keep this country out of war.
Should he be criticised?

Examinations began Wednesday, or
as one boy said" the melancholy days
have come" and lasted until yester-
day afternoon.
Last Wednesday afternoon all the

nouncements, which were somewhat
belated.
Practices for the play and opera
go merrilly on. The opera, "The
Pirates of Penzance," which will be
given tomorrow night. had a dress
rehearsal last evening. For the play,
Much Ado About Nothing" there will
be a dress rehearsal this evening, in
all probability.
Last Saturday at Madison, Elvin
Hartlett won first place in the track
meet in the hammer throwing event.
He hurled it $50 it. lin, and received
a silver medal for so doing.

CHINESE PORCELAINS.
Wine Cups Like Tilted Lotus Leaves
Floating Down a Stream


To look long upon Chinese porce>
lains is likely for numerous causes to
result in falling under their persuasive
spell. If you are interested in the
sculptural stage of art, susceptible to
the beauty of line, you will find 1t
there in dignifed simplicity. In color
the eye is appealed to in a seductive
ininity. In range of decorative mo-
tives the Celestial potter's mind is fer
tile with an imagery found only in the
east. And there must not be left out
of account the interest and satisfac-
ton awaiting the technical student of
structure that is found in a substance
so quickly responsive to the deft touch
Of the artisan.
1.-The fine white bowls surpass boar
frost and snow" is a Chinese descrip-
ton of one of the ancient fctile fab
RIGS. AS the aroma Of delicate wine
is enriched and refined by being served
in a fragile glass, so the tea drinkers
as far back as the days of the Tang,
in the seventh and eighth centuries,
appreciated their bowls, according as
they enhanced the tint Of the infu-
sion" And here comes IN another
element in the charm of Chinese porce-
Iains. Like the European art Of the
middle ages and the renaissance, they
were so intimately related TO life that
they contribute to a human and bet
ter understanding OF a strange and dis
tant people. No sooner is one interest
ed in this truly national art of the
Chinese than he finds a certain even if
meager knowledge of them a matter of
cOncomitant interest, even though not
essential to an appreciation of their
creations.
Wine cups Of the Tang were hkened
by their poets to tilted lotus leaves
floating down a stream" There came
into porcelain the hue of rosy dawn"
Does one not find here a sympathetic
communion with nature in far Cathay?
Those so called "ginger jars" Of the
capriciOusly named hawthorn pat
tern"-the most commonly known of
all Chinese pOrcelains in the Occident
were used for sending presents of
fine tea at the Chinese New Year an
niversary. Their decoration, which has
nothing to do with the hawthorn, was
made in representation of the blossoms
of the winter blooming wild prunus
tree lying on streams whose ice cover
ing was disintegrating under the warm
ing influences Of the approaching YER
nal seasOn.-Dana H. Carroll in Scrib-
ner's.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The chairmen of the various assO-
Citations of Wausau issued the follow
ing letter today:
Wausau, Wis, May 30, 1916.
DEAR SIR:
Men have but two interests in life.
One is their business, the other their
homes. The home is the big interest
because home and family is the
reason for the business. Consequently
men want to serve their community
because a better community means
better homes and business.
How can men best serve their
community? By taking the plain,
everyday human spirit found in every
community, moulding it into strong,
centralized and democratic Organiza-
tiOn and putting it to work.
The Chamber of Commerce is an
organization Of the united effort of
the men within the community for
the industrial development and up
building and civic improvement and
betterment of the community, and
moulding into definite shape and
form the ideas of social welfare and
betterment, of the people within it.
1t is the medium through which the
men of public spirit and civic pride
should serve their community.
The success Of the Chamber of
Commerce depends entirely upon the
cooperation and support of it's N en-
bers. Respectfully yours,
J. n. MANSON,
w. w. ALBERs,
j. S. GRIFFITH

WATER PLANT INSPECTED
Committee.

BY request of the Rotary club
through DR.. L. E. Spencer, Z. J. Tulley,
state sanitary engineer, visited Wau-
sau the past week to look over the
city water supply. He went over the
plant taking samples of water from
hydrants in various parts of the city.
He filtered some of the river water,
also water from the system; the
brOwnish water came out white and
sparkling, as well as the water from
the mains. He said that the only way
to get the deposit out of the mains
was by systematic flushing, under
very high pressure. He recommended
alteration to get rid of the troubles,
using water in which there is the least
iron. The water in the system, he
says, is highly charged with iron,
which is, Of course, the cause of our
trouble. Mr.. Tulley will not make
a report until some time next month.

POTATO DIGGING VACATIONS

(From Co. Superintendent's May Bulletin.)
In those sections of Marathon coun-
ty where potato growing constitutes
the chief industry the school should
have one-month's vacation at potato
digging time. To make this possible
the schools should open not later than
the first Monday in August This plan
is followed in Portage county and is
found to be solution of the poor at
tendance problem that results where
schools are in session during potato
digging time.
Your County Superintendent found
very poor attendance during potato
digging time in the schools of our
potato growing regions. He, there
fore, should be glad to see these
schools open on the first Monday in
August and close for a period of two
to four weeks during potato digging
time. There is probably some objec-
ton to this plan but it might well be
brought up for discussion at the An
nual School meeting.

MONUMENT TO GENERAL LEE.
The One That Was Discovered In the
City of Washington.

Fortunately there is a breezy and re-
freshfng side to political Washington,
says a correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. One of the new south
ern congressman recently was walking
down Pennsylvania avenue with an
older southern member, and they stop
ped in front Of a statue Of Grant They
admired it for few moments and later
in their walk stopped in front of a
statue of Sherman.
what puzzles me-" said the new
southern member, lis that here in the
capital of the United States there is no
monument to Robert E. Lee. The ma
ton is now united, and Lee was one of
our greatest men. There should be an
impressive monument to him right here
in the capital
"Why, haven't you seen the monu-
ment to Lee? asked the southern con-
gresham. at is the greatest monu-
ment ever erected to any man. will
take you over and show it to you right
now"
They walked rapidly for fifteen min
utes, and the older southern member
showed the newer one the pension
building.

Tungsten is probably the most re-
markable mineral known. Pure metal
lie ductile tungsten is practically in
soluble in any common acid, it's melt
ing point is higher than any other
metal, it's tensile strength exceeds that
of steel, it IS paramagnetic, it can be
drawn to a smaller size than any other
metal, and its specific gravity is 20 per
cent greater than lead. And, what is
more to the point, Colorado contains
more tungsten than any other state or
possibly all other states in the Union.

DISPOSITIONS.

The dispositions of men are different
A house is managed well by men and
women of different dispositions, just as
much as a carpenter cannot build a
house with big and tall timbers only.
Even a man of obstinacy or argumen-
tative is not unnecessary in a family.
But there must be a supervision over
them ALL If there is no one who binds
them all the different dispositions bring
confusion to the house.-Kyuo.

corrected estimate shows a balance of
