4 CHALLENGE
TO THE WORLD

Inasmuch as the local w. G. T. U.
has become eager to put my patriot
ism into question, which has caused
the deepest sorrow at our home. ]
herewith challenge the world to bring
any proof whatsoever that | have not
been loyal at all times to our beloved
fag.
When grandfather, many years ago,
came across the Atlantic on an old
time sailing vessel to become an
American citizen and help put beau
tiful star into our flag, he was obliged
to sink the bodies Of grandmother and
their newborn together into the
depths of the sea. On the great res
direction morning they will come
forth with our hero boys of today who
fall into ocean graves where no
marker" can ever be set to their
blessed memory. But he came, and
the little ones with him; and he
brought enough blue and white along
with the red to help put a beautiful
star into "OId Glory" under whose
protecting folds | have been born and
nurtured from infancy. More than
that, during the days Of the Civil War,
he did his "bit" nobly to make that
star glorious.
My father and mother, God bless
them; for they are now fast tOttering
to the grave, but out of their life they
gave few girls and seven big boys
to Wisconsin, whose fertile fields they
have helped to adorn with beautiful
homes-yes, American homes with
family records as clean as you can
find them anywhere. And Oh! What
will mother think when she hears all
this of her son Carl? Will [ be able
to keep it from her? All, yes, as long
as all their children and their chill
dren's children stand loyal to our gov
eminent for any duty called upon, l
cannot curse the blood that courses
in my veins as I preach the gospel OF
Gods redeeming love to the world;
and no man under the American flag
has a right to expect me to do so. AS
far as [ know in two generations back
not even a single letter has crossed
the Atlantic, to or fro. Moreover,
President Wilson has made it very
plain that the autocratic heads of the
central powers and their clique are
our great foes, and not the German
PEOPLE. Why, then, should any man
in Wisconsin who can speak the Ger
man tongue endure persecution for it,
when squarely under the Stars and
Stripes? Oh, Liberty! What crimes
are not possible in thy name! Is the
time indeed at hand when at Baraboo
in this day and generation, a hum

Waiting to Be Sick

It is great to be quarantined. About
five days ago a comrade took scarlet
fever. Well, l was one whose bunk
was next to the patient. Also they
took two others that were located
near, and this. day placed us in quar-
antine. They pitched a tent out in a
pine grove and now we are all by our
lonesome, waiting for something to
develop, This is hoping that nothing
comes Of it.
We have one Irish-American and
two Wisconsin boys, the sum total be-
we would like long nights rest Of
it, so we retired about $50 p. m. We
two Wisconsin fellows were just on
the edge of sunderland when the
Irishman says: "Say l have funny
feeling. What do you think it 50"
We both said, eco to sleep" After
moment he (the Irishman) got up and
lighted the lantern, looks at himself
and said II think I will send for the
bloody doctor. What is he for any
way?" By this time he had us wide
awake. We thought the best way to
quiet him was to have him send for
the doctor, so we advised it. He went
out and called soldier, telling him
to have the doctor come over at
once. This was Sunday night, and
the doctor was out. A lieutenant got
the news and came over to see what
the trouble was all about. This Irish
man, Murphy by name, stuck his head
out Of the tent. The lieutenant said,
Hello! Murphy, what's the trouble?"
Murphy says, "Lieutenant, [ have
an awful funny feeling and [ thought
[ had better tell the doctor.
The lieutenant replied, "The doctor
is gone; you go to bed, cover up good
and be sure not to take any cold.
Tell the doctor all about it in the
morning." When the lieutenant got
out Of ear shot, that Murphy sure had
a fit
This is Monday and we have put our
tent ground in order and it sure looks
like a summer resort, but there is only
one day gone What we will do the
rest of the time I do not know unless
we wreck things and rebuild them.
There has been nothing develop in
the way Of a contagious disease as

tower.

America. 1t is now owned by Span

the train two hours late, and missing
the last train for camp. Many Of us

waiting for an auto. One stopped

made a rush. In some way they pushed
me into the rear seat, and loaded two

CAUSE FOR SUSPICION

When the train, with a tremendous
crash, came to a full stop between
stations, a worried looking man
stopped a brakeman who was rush
ing down the track and demanded to
know the worst.
"What is it? An accident?"
"Some one pulled the communication
cord" was the reply. "The engineer
put on the brakes too quickly, and
one of the cars left the rails. 1t will
take Us four hours to clear the line"
-Four hours!" exclaimed the pass
enger. "But I'm to be married today"
The brakeman turned on him with
instant suspicion. Look here" he
demanded, "you aren't the man who
pulled that cord, are you?'-The
