with scarcely movement or ner MAIN
moth countenance, but a cabbage head
ever so small was promptly deposited
upon the ground and flattened under
ponderous foot then deftly gathered

and passed on to follow the big vol

Annie is a massive, impressive crea-
ture. a model in disposition, and des-
tined to afford endless entertainment
to untold thousands of Madison and
all the country far roundabout. Our
excellent collection of animals was
deficient in her absence. 1t now is
essentially complete.
Commercially gentle Annie may be
worth some $4,000, hence her presen-
tation by Mr.. ALI. T. Ringing is an
act of generosity whose magnitude it
is fit that our people should under
stand. 1t fairly may be said that no
gift within that limit of value could
possess the capability of yielding so
much innocent, wholesome, instruc-
tive enjoyment. Mr.. Ringing GER
tainly is entitled to the gratitude of
Madisonians and he may be sure of
having it even though not generally
expressed.
This noble elephant, perfect type
of the Asiatic family, becomes an ad-
dition to the zoo of highest signifi'
canoe and indeed is most welcome

Ed, Binder is a rare character re-
siding not far from "the narrows,"
between Baraboo and Portage. A
big auto passed him on the highway
and skidded into the soggy ditch,
hopelessly stuck Binder, onsa load
of lumber, at once alighted, deta ched
horses from wagon without soliclta-
ton and in a trice the stranded car,
unframed, was hauled to safety upon
the macadam. So far nothing appears
to indicate rarity of personality, but
that characteristic is quite manifest
when, money in hand, compensation is
proffered for the timely rescue.
"Not a cent" was the emphatic
protest. 81 might have to be pulled
out myself Besides, was partly to
blame for not giving you more of the
road, but didn't hear you honk."
And so would he have it, this high,
fine spirited, right-minded farmer
for Ed. Binder is of that classified
ton. Quite unlike him is another
fellow living on the Wilton hill, who,
asked to help a stranded auto on his
own utterly disgraceful highway,
cody asked, "What's there in it for
e?"-Madison Democrat.

visiting Camp Grant recently. He was
taken through the trenches, saw how
the boys live under ground and many
other things in connection with camp
life He says one can see how actual
warfare is carried on by visiting
Camp Grant.

the right kind of testimonial. Here

It is funny what one or two letters
will do for a word. A newspaper con
tanned the following:
They climbed to the top of the
volcano and saw the Creator.

When Clark Dwinnell entered the
, Nehs grocery store at night he exer
cised considerable adroitness. In or
, der to prevent the glass in the door
from making noise he pasted a
sheet of fy-paper over the pane. He
evidently had no difficulty in remov
ing this, but was not so successful
with the next one, for it remains with
the f1y-paper still clinging to it. Aft
or rnmOVinp the first name he easily
