SHIPMENT OF
DEER RETARDED


Up north, the heavy snow storms
and the zero weather which followed,
complicated deer hunting, so that great
ihardships had to be endured by the
hunters. Many went in their automo-
biles and were showed in. Some tried
Ito get out to surrounding railroad
towns SO they could ship their cars
home and most of them succeeded in
doing this. On top of the snow storm
come the freezing weather. Up ir the
deer country the temperature went
down to 20 degrees below zero. Many
carcasses had to be left in the woods
and 1t will be sometime before they
can be gotten out. Up at Ashland
navigation closed earlier than in the
past fifteen years.

CHRISTMAS BELLS


Harki Harkl l hear distant bell,
And now chime-they softly ring:
What joyful tidings do they tell
AS back and forth they swing.
IT'S mid OF night-who rings those bellsg
Perhaps some doves til re nesting,
And while each little bosom swells,
And warm, they touch with gentle wing
The tuneful metal, and it feels
So incubated it would swing
To life, and wake the world with peals
OF gladness as for new-crowned King.
Those midnight bells, how sweet they
chime.
The welkin vibrates with their sound;
To hearts attune they are sublime.
Nor spread they dread alarm around.
Lo. now l see, from East afar
A light shines through the steeple's
frame
'Tis brighter than the brightest star.
1t gilds the bells with golden flame;
There, too, / see some cherubs cling
Fast hold the ropes. How fair they be!
They swing the bells and sweetly sing
This is the Christs nativity"
Wake every heart, join in their song
OF praise to Christ. our newborn King:
10 MN ouE sweetest StTdifiS oclohS,
And his. our richest offering.
When wakes the god of day. and shines
Athwart the heavens, what of glee
Will wake as we'll? With box and pines
And flowers gay, yon house will be
Adorned. and while the anthem swells
With organs voice. all Christendom
Will vibrant be as are those bells
That Christ's nativity has come.

results were entirely satisfactory. If

kind again, / would use Doan's Kid
ney Pills" Statement given October
20, 1879
On January 81, 1918, Mrs. Lehrbas

MEETING OF THE
CITY COUNCIL


The regular monthly meeting of the
city council was held in the council
chambers on Tuesday evening, Mayor
Sell presiding.
The tax rate was fixed at practically
1885 on every 500 to include the
soldiers and sailors bonus.
The petition for a suitable building
for school children on Weston Ave-,
was referred to the committee on FL
nance and to the Board of Education.
The committee reported on the re-
moval of plumbing fixtures from the
old city hall, to the effect that some
had been removed. Supt. Tobey ap-
peared before the council and stated
that the plumbing of the building was
in use, but that one layatory had been
taken out by mistake but would be re-
placed at no cost to the city. 1t was
voted that the removal of the plumbing
by the vocational school board be APP
proved.
The petition of E. Nitzsche for
raise of salary was referred.
Communication from Wausau Realty
and Loan company in regard to selling
property now occupied by the Labor
Bureau was referred to the committee
on Public works.
A resolution was passed authoriz-
ing the board of public works to pur-
chase wood for the several city depart
ments.
The claim of Erma Erdmann for
personal damages of $1,000 for injury
received on one of the sidewalks, was
referred to the committee on claims.
The report Of the committee on the
Yawkey ball park which had been Of
fered to the city without cost to re-
main a park for athletics was recon-
mended to be accepted and the coun-
Gil adopted the report.
The matter of the contribution of
$1,000, made by the city for the home
coming celebration was discussed 1t
was given for the Homecoming cele-
bration of July 4th, but instead a part
of it was used for the Homecoming of
Company G. 1t was the opinion that
the county should stand part of that
which had been spent on Co. G's re-
turn, and it was returned to the COM
mittee and that they take it up with
the county board.
1t was voted that the soldiers bonus
be included in the taxes now to be
collected.
1t was voted that the city engineer
be instructed to furnish specifications
as to paving East Jackson street and
to give an estimate of such paving.
1t was voted to purchase cable for
the lighting system on Clinton street.
1t was moved and carried that the
city electrician make an inventory of
what the city has and also report on
new installations.
There was considerable discussion
on the matter of the city electrician.
1t was claimed no new lights had been
installed for two years although auth
orized by the city council, but this
was answered by the statement that
the city had not appropriated sufficient
funds and further that help could not
be had at prices offered by the city,
hence no new lights were installed.

ANCIENT CHRISTMAS TOYS
Dolls That Delighted Children Of Rome
and Greece in Early Days Re-
Gently Excavated.

Rag dolls are as old as the hills and
so are dolls with movable arms and
legs, toy dogs, rocking horses and
host of other things that bring de-
light TO the children on Christmas
morning.
Recent excavations in the ruins of
ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt have
placed the British museum in posses
sion of an interesting assortment of
these relics of early Christian days,
some of which may possibly have
been given to the children of the fol-
lowers of Christ at a time when the
observation of Christmas day was an
innovation.
In the nursery of a newly excavated
house at Behnesa, Egypt, fairly well
preserved rag doll was found with
arms and legs still intact and painted
face. The doll @ by no means a beau
ty and does not compare with the
Christmas dolls of today, but neverthe-
less it must have brought joy TO lit
tie girls heart nearly 1900 years ago.
The jointed dolls of long ago were
made to sit down, stand up and move
their arms. but they didn't close their
eyes or squeak mamma" Among the
toy dogs horses and donkeys are some
made of stone and baked clay and
others carved out of wood.
