CAST OF CHARACTERS
THEN AND NOW.


In 1871 Geo. H. Altenberg moved
into Dancy with an OK team. On No
vember 30, 1918, the next day after
Thanksgiving, when the ground was
covered with about eight inches of
snow, he drove from Dancy to Stevens
Point in an automobile. With the OK
team he made about three miles an
hour; with the automobile, under un-
favorable conditions for motoring, he
made from 10 to u miles an hour. In
1871 there was comparatively few
horse teams in the county, but that
was not the real reason Mr.. Altenberg
had to use oxen. The reason was
that at that time a large per cent of
horses in all parts of the state were
afflicted with influenza, commonly
known as epiZootic, and could not be
used.-Stevens Point Gazette.

HOME SUNSHINE
Remembering Mother

once knew farm mother whose
Chief delight seemed to be to make
each of her six children a nice Xmas
present. Her husband also was
always remembered, although he
never made any presents and
claimed it was tall foolishness. :"
For Xmas money she depended on
the sale of eggs, chickens and tur-
keys. Ii for any reason the out
look was not encouraging, her only
anxiety was how 10 make a small
amount of money go round. But
go round" it always did, and not
one-except mother herself-ever
failed 20 get present on the tree,
which appeared regularly every
Xmas at the village church.
1t was not the easiest matter in
the world for this mother to take a
ten mile ride to town in cold
weather and to buy and keep all
those things out of sight, but
imagine it was a part of the pleas
ureable program. Sometimes one
or more of the family had to be let
into the secret; sometimes the big
sleigh that carried the family to
the Tree" held lot of queer bun
dies and boxes, but none would be
mean enough to peep" even if he
wanted to, though one can't help
guessing you know
It remained for thoughtful and
tactful neighbor to suggest to
those children the idea of buying
their mother a Xmas present.
Really, they had never thought of
it; at first they demurred. for
young people, as rule, do not
have much money, and boys especi-
ally need some at Xmas time for
parties. shows, ETC., but finally thew
decided to club together and buy
something. and now began their
first real Joy in anticipating Xmas.
1t took some little time to decide
what to get, but the sight of large
framed picture representing cows
drinking from a pond was so like the
the real home scene that it was agreed
upon, cheerfully paying his
share. A few evenings before Xmas
it was brought home in the sleigh,
hidden under the blankets and snug
gled into the barn, and later taken
down to the village and left with
friend who agreed to see that it found
its way to the tree
Mother was there delighting in the
of the gifts and taking
care that none of hers went astray
So absorbed was she that she did not
hear her name announced and thought
it must be a mistake when one
touched her shoulder, saying, "this,
for you, Mrs. R" Could it be ?
A little slip of paper attached: it read,
From the children" in well known
hand.
Those three short words meant
great deal-they were not removed.
This was the beginning but not the
ending. No reminder was needed the
next year. "Mother's present" was
weeks before. 1t was a
set of chairs this time. OF course
they could not be carried to the
church. 1t was lots of fun ''slying''
them home and hiding them in the
barn. When all had left, one big boy
fingered behind, and carrying in the
chairs, placed them about the room
so that Mother would see them the
first thing on her return.
One said, 81 really believe she felt
hurt this time" nothing for her on
the tree but her face changed its
expression when she got home. "But
how did you know just what | want
ed ?" she exclaimed; 'Oh," was the
merry answer. "There's a way to
find out" and you KNOW We'll, we
young folks needed the chairs, you
see," roguishly.
