TIE Death oCAl. Ringing

The death of Al. Ringing represents
a serious loss to Baraboo and the COM
munity round about. His life was spent
in the amusement business and through
his influence and those associated with
him, the circus was brought to higher
level than it had ever enjoyed before.
1t was not the idea of the Ringing
B OF ers to humbug the public but to
please and this they accomplished to a
degree never before experienced.
The brothers had the pleasure of be-
ginning at the bottom and in time be-
coming the greatest circus owners in
world. They commenced without
money and without a name, and reach
ed the top. That is success. In all this
AL. Ringing played great part. From
the time the first entertainment was
given in 1882 until his death he was a
citizen of Baraboo and for the public
spirit he has shown the citizens last
summer paid him deserved tribute
with a public demonstration in the
public park In all this Mrs
Ringing shared deserved honors with
her husband. In increasing the bust
ness of the circus and the erection of the
new theatre she gave much aid and
shared the pleasures of her husband in
having accomplished go much. Had
Mr.. Ringing lived decade or more no
doubt Baraboo would have been great
ly enriched by his generosity but death
has removed him and his work is ended.
Tn loss of such a citizen is a loss to
the community.

A lecturer who protested against

he perceived any tendency in that d.

ling statement to revive their tagging
attention says an exchange. On one
occasion, when his audience seemed
ather somnolent, he Numbered out:
''Ah, you have no idea of the suffering
of Englishmen in Central America, on
account of the enormous mosquitoes.
A great many of these pests would
weigh pound, and they will get on
the logs and bark as the white men are
psssing."
BY this time all ears and eyes were
wide open, and he proceeded to finish
his lecture. The next day he was called
upon to account for his extraordinary
statements. But l didn't say one
mosquito would weigh a pound" he
reposted. "Isail a great many of
them would. II think perhaps a mil
lion of them might do So But you
said they bark at the missionaries, :"

Are you 80 living that you will reach
the station of old age or will there be
a wreck along the route2 Poor health
and wrecked health are the debts which
fall due from the days of youth-eating
too much, drinking too much, and work
ing too much. There are few people
about the country who have approach
ed the century mark and if you investi-
gate you will find they have always
resided on Moderation street. If q
machine comes out of the factory we'll
made and if it receives good care, it
will last long; men born with strong
bodies will live long if they use them
we'll, barring accidents or other mis-
fortunes If you do not live on Moder
alton street, find a residence there at
once if you would live to enjoy the
sunny slope of venerable years.
