The government recently stopped all gambling in

Mrs Paul Aguilar of Chino California yesterday, al
though 50 years DID, gave birth to her twentyeighth
child There have been three sets of twins and there
twentysix of these children still alive. This record
that will stand for some time at least and there will be
few if any contenders for record that will beat it. If
those gold lorgnetted and silk upholstered females now
in the workhouse at Washington had done half much
they would not be in jail for pcketing the white house
and violating the ordinances Of the city 1t is said it is
the devil who finds work for idle hands to do and while
we never took much stock the activities Of his satanic
majesty it is quite probable that had these women had
more work and less leisure children and less social
functions more home duties and less time to gad about
they would have accomplished more for humanity and
done less injury to the cause of suffrage.

is correct it should be in operation not later than Satur
day There states still to be heard from at
that time but it thought these about ready to
report all preliminary arrangements had been completed
1t is not known yet just what plan will be adopted in such
counties as Marion that have furnished their QUOTA and
will be excused from furnishing any under the draft
AS the man having the number drawn will be selected
and this in each Of the than 1000 districts the
bers will necessarily be drawn in this well as all other
districts What arrangement the government has made,
or will make as to the drawn in districts where the
quotas are already completed is not yet given out That
they will be drawn is certainty but all else is uncertain
until the authorities at Washington speak.

opening, the price ranging all the way
from rs cents to $1.00. At some of
the tations one price is being paid
and another price elsewhere. No

TELLS Of WORK
-:
OF MRS. HARVEY
..5: =

| On Friday evening at the court,
house, DR.. M. M. Quaife, secretary Of
the State Historical society, Madison,
told of the good work done by Mrs.
Louis P. Harvey, speaking Of her as
"The Angel of wisconsin, While
her husband was governor the battle
of Shiloh took place and so many
northern soldiers were in distress the
governor went to the south with sup
plies and for the purpose of giving
personal attention to their relief.
| While there he accidentally fell into
the river and was drowned. MIS-.
Harvey then took up relief work and
was instrumental in bringing gladness
to thousands Of sick and wounded SOL
diers. She visited hospital camps
and performed great personal serv-
| ice. Before her time soldiers were
not brought to the north to recover in
| hospitals, the heads of the army think
ing it too expensive. Through her eff
forts hospital was opened in Madi-
son, and of the first 100 men brought,
seven died, five were discharged and
Lightweight returned to the army.
Practically all would have died in the
! south.
Dr. Quaife told how the relief work
( grew, how more and more suffering
was reduced. Mrs. Harvey visited
President Lincoln many times, was
| tireIess III obtaining permission from
! the heads of departments to carry on
the work and extended aid to those in
distress everywhere she went. The
; speaker told of her high purposes,
! her exceptional character and the in
! f1uence she wrought. To often a
generation removed knows too little
of those who have done great work
for their fellow-beings.
| The speaker said the world was be-
coming more and more humanitarian.
If citizen of 800 years ago could re-
turn, he would not be as amazed so
much at skyscrapers and modern in
ventions as the egreat stride the world
base made in alternating suffering,
even in distant lands, as is being done
in Belgium by the people Of this coun-
try today.
! Regretful as it may be, Mrs. Har-
vey passed away and was buried al
most without notice by the world.
| At the meeting the former officers
were reelected. Mrs. E. V. AleXan-
der reported s75.88 on hand, the 5000
received from the estate Of the late
w. w. Warner having been invested
in bond Mrs. L. II. Horstman be-
came member and it was decided to
send two delegates to the state meet
ing at Madison.

FIRST FLAKES
CIRCLE DOWNWARD

Br-r-r-r-r.
He is coming.
Old Winter is certainly on the way,
This morning the first snowfakes
OF the season came slowly down, just
as a harbinger that Old Boreas is
breaking his leashes at the back door
Of the Arctic ocean and will soon be
here with all his severity. The first
flakes melted as soon as they struck
the earth, but their presence was suffi-
cient to speed up the coal man and to
make the defenseless spud cry out
that he was afraid he would freeze.
