CLAIM is DENIED.
Woman Who Broke Arm in Parade
Denied Damage Because She
Married in a Week.

Madison, Jan Is. - Mrs. Mabel
Boyer, Grand Rapids, has filed petit
ton with the State Industrial com
mission for $4,000 for a doctor bill
which she said was caused when she
fell and broke her arm while riding
float in the Fourth of July parade
at Grand Rapids last year. The team
bolted and she was thrown onto the
street. Testimony was given at the
hearing to the effect that Mrs. Boyer
was married within a week of the
time she broke her arm and today the
commission ruled out her claim
The defendant in the case of the
Nekoosa-Edwards Paper company
claimed six weeks pay because of in
iuries he said he received while MAX
ing friction pulleys for the Marathon
Paper Mills company of Wausau. The
claim was denied Frank A. Leitz to-
day by the commission.

SLOAN'S LINIMENT EASES PAIN

Sloan's Liniment is nrst thought of
mother for bumps, bruises and sprains
that are continually happening to chill
dren. 1t quickly penetrates and soothes
without rubbing. Cleaner and more
effective than mussy plasters or ONT
ments. For rheumatic aches, neural
gia pain and that grippy soreness after
colds, Sloan's Liniment gives prompt
relief. Have a bottle handy for bruis-
es, strains, sprains and all external
pain For the thousands whose work
calls them outdoors, the pains and
aches following exposure are relieved
by Sloan's Liniment. At all Drug
gists, 25c.

GUARD VALUABLE
FOXESCAREFULLY
Thirty Animals at Farm and Each
Carries Pelt Worth From
$500 to $4,000.

Reedsburg, Wis, Jan. S-The
raising of the silver black fox no long
er is an experiment, but is establish
ed as successful enterprise. During
the past ten or fifteen years fox ranch
es have been established in a number
of places in Wisconsin, the natural
home of the animal, but not until re-
Gently has the business been attempted
on large scale.
The new 100000 ranch at Reeds
burg is the largest and most modern in
the state, and many claim there is no
better equipped institution of the kind
anywhere. Every fox in this new
farm, and there are thirty ofthem
is genuine, pure bred silver black and
each carries a pelt worth anywhere
from $500 to $4,000, or possibly more
In this ranch is pair Of animals
which fox raisers declare are among
the most perfect and beautiful speci-
mems ever seen in this country. They
were imported and paid duty to the
United States government Of an even
$500.
Reedsburg has two fox ranches,
each separate corporation and or
ganization with it's own pens and dens.
The ranches are located in adjoining
enclosures and for matters of economy
in feeding and caretaking are operat-
ed jointly
The value of the animal causes the
owners to employ great caution in Sc
curing them. This is accomplished by
enclosing the pens in a high board
fence on the inside of which a car
pet of woven wire extends for three

animals should manage to escape from
the Individual pens, it would take some
time with this arrangement before
they could dig out Of the exterior OF
enclosure At the top of the fence
there is a ceiling or overhang of wo-
ven wire which makes it impossible for
the animals to climb out.
The pens are arranged i'll two. In
each lot for a male and a female the
animals can be separated if the keep
er so desires. The pens are construct
ed entirely of woven wire which is
sunk into the ground to bed rock
found here at depth of about four
fleet. The wire again is turned inward
at the bottom. The fences of the pens
are eight or ten feet high and have
the overhang arrangement on all sides
Thus the animals are safe from with
out and within.
AS an industry, fox raising in Wis,
consin is in it's infancy, but not so else
where. On the Prince Edwards isl
and, a territory much smaller thar
this state, there is said to be more thar
SIS, 100000 invested in the business.

Our Soldiers of the Sea.

The American marine is known round
the world. A better set up, more fit,
more spirited, more energetic and
stancher soldier is to be found no
where. He is the first ashore, where
he always knows how to take care Of
himself, and the last to stay at the
fight as well as the first in, always
brave, always cheerful, always dex-
trous and ever steady. There are no
brighter, keener, cleaner, reader sol
diers marching under any flag. They
have got to live up to the traditions of
more than u century, and they never
fail to do it. A civilian who can't get
enthusiastic about the marine corps
but 1t isn't necessary to finish. There
is the glorious record of the fine old
organization, and with every opportu-
nifty for distinction 1t glows and bright

The Unnamed Luddites.

It was curious slip that saved the
old time machine wrecklng Luddltes.
These men were indicted for threaten
ing to demolsh a certain plant at Not
tlngham, and conviction meant the
scaffold-there was no alternative.
Death for all the offenders seemed in
evltably predestined. But old Father
Antic, the law, came with benevolent
guile to their aid The threatened firm
was described in the Indictment as
"proprletOrs Of silk and cotton manu-
factory" The acute mind of the fu-
ture Lord Chief Justice Denman seized
on flaw. THE firm are in reality"
he urged. manufacturers Of silk lace
and of cotton lace" Note the fine dis
tinction. "They ought to have been
described as 'proprletors of silk lace
and of cotton lace manufactory, Z"
he said. A merciful judge, more So
licltous for lives than law, upheld the
objection, and those Luddites died un-
hanged. Chronicle

which some Of us are not going to for
give you. You were one of the very
greatest and most delightful Of our en-
tertainers and in these latter days per-
haps the most heartening Of all, for
while Others chose to rant or fume or
doubt or vllify you chose only to give
us pleasure unmiXed with pain. But
why, with all your wit and all your
wisdom, with all your command over
the very founts of laughter and of
tears-why when you were the only
man In the world who could justly
have dreamed Of such labor Of love,
did you not finish what your great
elder brothers had begun?i Why did
you not give us the missing chapters
