on the lawn in front OF the old Bureau
Yesterday morning, for the benefit OF
the employees of the auditors office.

and secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, addressed the gathering IN be-
half of the loan, and, incidentally, said
some mighty nice things about the
band. Edward Luckow, auditor for
the Navy Department, closed the pro-
gram with a stirring speech-and the
band played on.-Washington Herald.

A whale of the proper gender, will
give a barrel of milk at a milking
When slaughtered, one of these huge
animals yields many tons Of Eat and
edible meat which now commands a
ready sale. When the Mont Joy man
was selling hogs at 500 each he might
have made greater success had he
tried selling stock in whale herd
The excitement would have been
greater because the chances were more
uncertain but the average stock in
yestors loves that kind OF an adven
ture.
In Milwaukee Frank would not obey
and his mother put him i'll girl S
clothes This did no good and lie was
sent to the country where he was
sentenced to the pillow. This might
serve as a good remedy for "The
Hooded Terrors" of Baraboo.

1t is strange how things visible and
invisible pull us. We may be lured
, by the love of the dollar, by an at
, tractive lake, by the desire 20 hear
an orator or the longing for a place
of rest. Down in Chicago there is a
, very sick man H. P. Hamilton, q
wealthy manufacturer of Two Rivers,
Wis. His hobby has been the collect
? ing of Indian relics, especially those
! Of stone and copper Recently there
was sent to him a groved stone axe,
gr0Ted both as to circumference ana
as to it's length, and this greatly
, cheered him The relic was found
near his home, on ground that he had
= gone over again and again, and the
, finding OF the specimen has SO stimu-
lated him that he may be able to re-
: turn to his Two Rivers home. A
stone axe, an old relic of another race
J a thing without life, has SO aroused
the sick man that his days have nc
doubt been increased The pull OF
g this object has increased the span OF
J., his years.
