Mrs. Nettie II. Patterson, superin-

said that the societys officers had
been trying to effect the reformation
of drinking man whose excuses had
impoverished his family. Finally he
was induced to sign a pledge that he
would not indulge for year.
To demonstrate to his wife that he
could remain steadfast the man, ac-
cording to Mrs. Patterson, walked
twice past a saloon where he had
been wont to spend his earnings, each
time preening himself on the strength
of his will power. AS he was about

wife and said: "Such bravery deserves

Green Bay. Wis.-Passengers on an

screams Of young woman and the
discovery that a rat had taken refuge

rodent, which had been beaten to
death.
A girl from Depere and her escort
were the principal figures, especially
the girl, under whose skirts the rat
found false security. The escort
caught the squirming animal in the

it to death with his cane. Other male

the measured cup Of welcome with
