FIRST PLEASURE PLANE.

To E. P. McFetridge, the wooden
manufacturer of Baraboo, belongs the
distinction of being the first citizen
Of Wisconsin to file his order for an
aerOplane for pleasure driving. Mr..
McFetridge has purchased a Packard
Lepere two-seated cruiser type plane
equipped with Liberty motor. The
order has been placed with the Pack
ard Automobile company, Milwaukee.
Mr.. McFetridge's deposit check gives
him priority order for the first plane
for flying in the state. The McFet-
ridge plane will have 400 horse pow
err engine and will cost from $4,000
to $4,000. Mr.. McFetridge is an ex-
pert autoist, one of the best and most
daring drivers in the state. He is a
hard worker in his business and goes
for spin in his big Stevens-Duryea
as a means of relaxing

NOT FIT TO PRINT.

Many people have wondered why
the newspapers did not pass around
a definition of German "kultur" so
that all could see it. 1t was well
known that the German troops which
invaded Belgium were al taught kul"'
tur in their military training and that
they learned the tenets of the new pc
lief so we'll that they took to muir,
der and rapine like ducks to water.
as soon as they got across the Bel
gian line. While the word "kultur"
was used by Emperor Wilhelm in ev-
cry speech to the German soldiers,
only now and then would a stray ten
ct get past the censor for the infor-
nation of the western world.
An amusing thing happened in Car
negie Hall, New York. recently dur
ing a lecture by DR.. Henry Van Dyke
before the League for Political Edu-
cation. A lady rose md asked DR..
Van Dyke: What is the definition of
kultur?" Madame" said the speak

TUG BOAT AND STEAMER.

Mark Twain tells story of a man
who piled q tug boat up and down the
river. This man was terribly envl-
GUS of a steamer which commanded
much attention every time she blew
a blast from her great whistle. Final
w the man woke up to the fact that
he could purchase just such whistle
and make as much noise with his
little tug boat as the steamer. But
after he got the big whistle he found
his boat stopped every time he blew
it. The engine had only enough pow
er for the boat or the whistle.
