 It should be remembered now, just at this time particularly, that Gen. eral Orrin Holt of Wilmington, of Mex ican war fame, was U. s. represen- tative from Holland County in 1888, think, When Wisconsin was made into a territory he was sent there by the government in some capacity it was said as the first territorial Gov ernor-, but the history of the state does not cOrroborate the statement. So if Colonel William Henry Hall should accept the nomination he would be in line of merit and of cit izenship.

The Birth of q Soma.

Regimental bands piped the French into Colmar and Strasbourg to the tune of "vous n'aurez par PAlsace ct Ia Lorraine" It Is one of the few airs which have survived from the multiplicity born of that period of storm and stress following upon the Franco German war. "Vous n'aurez pas" was the result of flash of in- spiration on the part of it's author, Ben Tayou, just as was Rouget de PIsles's "Marseillaise," Patriotism was the mother of both, and though La Marseillaise" will be sung long after "Vous n'aurez pas" has been forgot ten, Ben Tayous song will have been the song of stirring and happy days of French history.

Napoleon Homestead

A man who represented himself to
be physician was here this week
seeking location. He called upon
the Homestead. We informed him
that lately we would have been able
to support half dozen doctors, but
that normally this section hadn't
much fuse" for 'em. Next day we
learned that when our Red Cross So
licitors approached him with ''heart-
and-a-do1ar" proposition, he not only
declined, but did so rudely. After
we heard about that we arrived at a
definite conclusion that Napoleon has
no room for such shoddy limitations
of humanity. If the gent in particu-
lar is not an absolute counterfeit, he
must certainly have escaped from
school before the finishing touches
were applied. 1t seems strange that
such a specimen might even gain en-
trance to school attended by real
men.
