From the New North of Rhinelander
the Pilot quotes the following, adding
the fact that "Calico" has arrived in
Wausau for his annual visit and it
seems "just like old times" to see him
once again travesing our fair streets:
Dressed like a delegate to the peace
conference and wearing million dol
lar smile, Calico, box car tourist and
High Potentate of the Mystic Order of
Gay Cats, leisurely drifted into Rhine
lander from the golden west Monday.
Calico says he is not here for any
definite length of time, but will stay
just as long as the staying is good.
Welcome to our city,"
From The Marathon Times is
CLEANED the following little expert
Ience: Eyes, Marathon City had a case
of burglary and we all have to take
our hats off to Mrs. Darling, of the
Darling restaurant. She was aroused
from her sleep when the burglar
struck match on the frame of her
bedroom floor. She looked up and be-
held the burning match and at the
same time the burglar, who, aiming a
lrevolver at her, told her to lie still.
Instead she jumped up and called,
Father though there was no father in
the house. She ordered the burglar
to get out and he did through the
same window through which he made
Ibis entry"
