In Baraboo the other day a little
girl came across a book, the leaves of
which had not been cut. She desired
to know how they got the print on the
inside.
When Rev, r. M. Laurenson, Mrs.
Laurenson and three sons moved from
Ohio to Baraboo some time ago the
weather was too cold to bring the
canaries. The birds were given to the
family by bird fancier and grower
in the Ohio city and priced very highly.
When moving time came it was de-
cided to leave the songsters behind and
have them shipped later. A few days
ago the cage arrived and when the
cover was removed there was much
rejoicing for instead of two birds there
were six. Mr.. and Mrs. anary seem to- 4
be just as happy in the Laurenson
household as in the Ohio home.

Again does DR. Charles H. Villas ex-
hibit fine public spirit by great addi-
tional gift of $4,000 to make more
complete for service to humanity the
noble and notable tuberculosis sanato-
rum not far back from the east shore
of Lake Monona. This community has
had to thank him marv tine s, and now
is under further obligation.
He, humanitarian in the sweetest
sense, of course is having his own
great satisfaction in these frequent
benefactions, but that his felowmen
are profoundly grateful he scarcely
need be told.
A monument far more enduring than
usually is erected, DR.. Villas is quietly,
lovingly, unselfshly building to his
own name and memory here.-Madi-

the name of states. An overly dressed
woman pranced in on us one day and
wanted to know who gave in the

but she insisted we had slandered her.

that Mrs. Harvey had the husband
ideal, man who wouldn't smoke up
the house with his old cigars, and who
was always tickled to take his wife out
for an evenings pleasure at the movie.

better than my husband, and Mrs.
Harvey became extremely fond Of
john" explaind Mrs. Tilford. Last
August she and I consulted and we
agreed to swap husbands. After we
