and Merrill. He told of the find when
in Merrill but could not find the own
er. He brought it home with him, and
the next day a man, Otto Polege of
Irma, Wis, came to Mr.. Damon and
asked him if he had found suit case
and was told that it was at Mr.
Damon's home, and that he could have
it by calling for it and without cost
Mr.. Polege obtained this case, opened
it and found the $4,000, which he had
placed there safe and undisturbed. Mr..
Polege was on his way to Merrill to
make a purchase and had strapped
the case on to his auto. 1t worked

stoppage of building during the world
war has left the country millions of
homes short and the condition which
now exists in Wausau is the same
throughout the country. The need of
many homes here is urgent, but right
now, all available rooms in the city
are needed to take care of the fam
lilies who must either have them or
go elsewhere.

SUGAR SUPPLY VERY LOW

The sugar situation in Wausau as
well as in the country generally is
anything but satisfactory to the low
ers of that commodity. 1t has been
almost impossible to get more than
to supply ones table; to get it in
any quantity to use in putting up
fruits was out of the question. Large
purchases of fruit in some cases, has
gone to waste. Wausau is not the
only city that is suffering on this score
by any means. There is a promise
by the mercantile houses, that this
condition will be temporarily relieved
soon.

Paris Dances to Phonograph.


The London Mail.
A battered, war-worn cottage
piano is on view in a dealers window
in Paris, labeled: "Rescape-retour
du Front" Its case is splintered
beyond all possibility Of repair; the
keyboard barely holds together; the
candle-holders, wrenched and twisted,
hang from the sockets. 1t tells an
eloquent and forlorn tale of de-
vastated home in some modest street
of northern town, and no doubt
there are thousands of instruments
in a similar condition. But it does
not follow that piano dealers are in
undated with orders for new ones. On
the contrary, it appears that many
people will this year suppress the
piano they formerly hired for the
winter season, and will use the pho
nograph in its place for their I'M
promptu dances. The Americans set
the fashion in Paris of dancing to a
phonograph, an unheard of proceed
ing before the war, and already in
the sociable Latin Quarter there have
been some impromptu tangos to the
wall of the phonograph.
The dancers supplement it's fee
bier notes by stamping on the par
auet, like the peasants who mark
the rhythm of their bourrees with
the clank of their sabots.

Everywhere there is violence. 1t
is but a short stride from the Boston
police strike to the mob at Omaha.
The striking steel workers are not
much better than the mob at Mont
gomery. Samuel Gompers has open
lv declared that he will not obey the
Cummins bill if it becomes law. The
parlor Socialist has for years preach
ed sedition and every sort Of revolu-
ton. We are now reaping the results
in these United States. This is the
time when every mans utterance
should be sure, and it should be
moderate.
Here in the South it is the most
trying time that l have known in my
twenty-five years residence. Too,
much foolish talk has been indulged
in, both North and South. At crit
ical time in the career of Booker
Washington he said to me that his
wisest and best friend was the white
man at the South. And among these
friends he prayed that he might draw
his last breath. Here he died, greatly
honored and loved by both races.
came South years ago. l have
seen the negro in his upward progress
through all these years. I have long
since come to believe that the aver
tage white man is just and honorable
and kind to the average negro. 1t
is little short of an imposition for
Northern people to come down here
and try to organize the negro so that
he can get more rights. In this conf
nunity / am the only Northern man.
/ could not ask for kinder neighbors
nor for men with finer sense of JUS
tice.
There has never been a mob here.
There will never be mob anywhere
if men will speak in moderation and
act with that charity which an honest
man must possess. Let US hail no
man as leader who breaches hatred
and revolution.
