When one speaks of building in
its architectural or structural sense
ones thoughts naturally travel &c
the spot where are found the most
famous buildings, and at once the
most beautiful in all the world. That
spot is Florence, capital city OF
Tuscany, fair town, called by its
citizens the Lilly Of the Arno," the
scene of the Italian Renaissance
and the birthplace, too, of the great
est builders the world has ever
known.
Architects they were called--arch-
itects they called themselves - but
builders they were, the noblest citi-
zens Of their day. They performed
the work by which their epoch is
remembered. Princes won immor-
tality through being their patrons.
The days of the Italian Renais-
sance were the days of Brunelleschi
and Bramante and Michael Angelo.
Those were the days when the
builder built, perhaps, one building
at a time, devoting his entire at
tention TO the work, and sometimes
adding to his ordinary or extraordi-
nary functions the tasks of the fore
man ard even of the artisan. Those
were tie days of all-around genius
the great builders were painters and
sculptoIs as we'll as architects.
Michael Angelo added the art of
poetry to his other achievements.
Those were the golden days, the
simple days, when building was
a matter of walls and floors and
roofs-two trades, masons and car
penters. Contrast it with the com
plex thing that a building is now.
Heaven only nows how many diff
fcrent trades and interests the
builder of today has to deal with.
And the builder himself is split in
twain; there seem to be two en-
titles. Two men or two sets OF men

CROWDS AT ANNIVERSARY
SALE ANSWER QUESTION:
DOES 1T PAY TO ADVERTISE

The question: Does 1t Pay to
Advertise ?" was answered vocifer-
ously for Whiteman & Simpson
when that firm opened its store at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning to
admit the waiting throng which had
been attracted by the double-page
advertisements in The Ardmoreite
tellin gof the First Anniversary
Sale.
Judging from the crowds going
and coming, it was estimated that
during the early hours of the day
fully 500 persons per hour were
waited upon and the crowd kept
coming and going all day long and
until closing time last nj ght. That
was just what the advertisers want
ed and they were not disappointed.

ARMENIAN AND SYRIAN
RELIEF
So Far $500 Raised-$2 900 More to
Raise-Send in Your Contributions.

Marathon Lodge, Knights of Pythias.
which assumed the responsibility of
conducting the Armenian and Syrian
relief fund work for this county, has
up to this time raised for this pur-
pose approximately $4,000. This is
$1,000 short Of the amount apportioned
as Marathon county's share.
In this work it has been impossible
to cover the whole county, or in fact,
the whole city, and the committee re-
allzes that many who would be both
willing and glad to contribute to this
noble cause have not been approached
by any solicitor. They ask that any
such do not wait for a solicitor to call
upon them, but send their check or
money direct to Mr. j. N Manson,
treasurer, or ask him to send some one
to their homes to get it.
No appeal for funds for any cause
has met with more sympathetic re-
spouse, and the solicitors who con-
Quoted the canvass state that in hard
ly single instance were they re-
fused contribution. The awful des-
tltutlon OF these unfortunate Armeni-
ans, especially of the women and chill
dren, destitute and starving, wander
ing in the wilderness, is a condition
that must appeal strongly to all with
humane instincts.
You still have an opportunity of do
ing something for these people, and if
you have not already done something,
send in contribution to the treas
urer, j. N. Manson, Wausau, Wis.

WISCONSIN A DUMPING
GROUND FOR SNOW
Big Storms Tie Up Railroads and
Traffic Generally

Early last week there was record
| breaking of snow-dumping in Wis
| consin, in fact it extended far below
! Chicago to perhaps north to the north
| pole. That great storm also swept
! over the Middle West and the Great
Lakes region and there was about Is
inches of snow fell, tying up traffic to
| such an extent that fuel and food
| shortages were threatened in many
| cities. Trains were stalled Monday
and Tuesday and they had hardly got
| Strengthened out before there was an
other prediction of another storm.
The storm came Friday, the wind from
the northwest and very fine snow that
was hard to face. While up in this
country the snow fall was not heavy,
not more than five or six inches; the
heavy wind shifted the SHOWS of the
previous storm piling UP snow drifts
all over the state, tieing up trains, to
greater degree than on the previous
storm. On Friday night the st. Paul
train came up four hours late-Sat-
urday there was one passenger train
which had hard time getting through
but it brought nothing from the main
line. The storm ragged all over Wis
consin and Illinois and other states
and the result was tie up on both
roads to this city and there was no
mail in Sunday.
A train left Milwaukee over the
Northwestern R. r. with only a pas
senger, baggage and mail coaches,
headed by two engines and a snow
pillow. The train reached Junction
City at a. M, Monday and reached
Wausau at 9 o'clock. 1t only brought
mail from Milwaukee, showing that no
trains were running between Chicago
and Milwaukee. Those who came up
said the train was often stalled in
snow banks over ten feet high
The st. Paul R. R. started out a
train Sunday night but it did not
reach Wausau until Monday afternoon
The troubles this season are in the
neighborhood of Babcock; last year
the greatest trouble was had with
snow drifts near Rudolph.
At present the tracks on both lines
are open and trains, we are told will be
nearly on schedule time, barring fur
Their storms.
In Wausau not a great deal of
trouble has been had. Nels Rasmus-
sen, who is Supt. of the street rail-
way system of Wausau, was out dur
ing Friday and Saturday nights oper-
ating the snow pillow clearing out the
snow drifts. On Sunday night it was
necessary to make one trip over the
line with the pillow after midnight
AS result the street car system has
been giving excellent service.
The rural delivery clerks had some
trouble in making their routes on Fri
day and Saturday and some could not
make the rounds but all were able
to do SC on Monday.
