Two little girls went to school at
! Cassell one wheatless day with white
/ bread for their dinner, says the Prai-
; RE du Sac News. When the teacher
asked how many had rye bread for
dinner the little girls couldn't raise
their hands, so they went without
their dinner. Their mother had been
=, serving rye all week, but that day
was out and thought it would make
no difference for the one day, as she
had used more than the usual amount
| Of dark flour, but the father said,
That's right, girls, stand by the
pledge even if you go hungry all day"

Two Chicago vaudeville folks un-
wound the following:
| did you ever realize that most ami
mails are very affectionate? For in
stance a dog will follow a man any
where"
$50 will a polecat."
That's a rank comparison"
well a polecat is a rank animal"
What / mean is that an animal-a
dog, for instance-will stick to man
after everybody else deserts him."
81 came across a dog like that once"
"And did he stick to you?"
"He stuck to me so hard they had
to pry him loose with a crowbar."
Were getting away from the sub
ject."
81 wished l could have gotten away
from that dog"
and now, sir, can you tell me what
animal has the greatest natural fond
ness for man."

Jack Boyle DeltOn, short story
writer, was in BarabOO on Thursday,
Mrs. Boyle accompanying him. A
few days ago they returned from a
CIT in ITyhi1 10
owners of the Red Book magazine told
Mr.. Boyle some of their troubles.
They shipped a carload of Red Books
to Boston in December and the period
icals have never arrived at their des-
tination. The whole car is lost
somewhere between Chicago and Bos-
ton. Of course the magazines
are worth nothing now, except for old
paper. If the railroad company finds
the car the loss will be borne by the
company; if not the railroad will pay
the publishers. The magazines will
probably come to light after the con-
gestion is over and the loss will be
borne by the publishers. In a few
months the publishers must pay a
higher postage rate, a new source of
distress, unless the law is repealed.
When Mr. and Mrs. Boyle reached
Chicago the owner of the Red Book
said he was going to New York in a
few days and desired Mr.. Boyle's next
story to take with him to read and
turn over to the illustrator. The au-
thor hurried to his room in a hotel
pounded a typewriter for four days
and the story was ready. Mr.. Boyle
is very busy on two short stories, to
be followed by serial, all of which
must go to the illustrator within the
next few months. The family will re-
main in DeltOn for the summer, but
may go to California before the next
winter arrives. His literary work is
meeting with much success, several
magazines having accepted his short
stories.

! A note from o. D. Brandenburg,
Madison, says the recent robbery in
his home has mounted as the days
have gone by, and the sum is now
fully $4,000. At first it was thought
goods worth about $500 had been TAX
en-. Unless the loss goes beyond
$4,000, the insurance will cover the
disappearance Of the missing goods.
