Early Irish History.

In the earliest time Of which there
is any record, Ireland was inhabited
by tribes of the great Celtic family,
to which belonged the ancient Brit
ons Of the larger island, and the Gauls
of the country now known as France.
Each tribe had Its chief, and after a
time supreme monarch came to the
front. One Of the most famous Of
these was Brian, who overthrow the
invading Danes in the battle Of Clon-
tart, fought in the year 1914 near Dub
lin. He was slain in his tent at the
close Of the fight. After his death
-the supreme monarchy was often In
complete allegiance, misrule and an
archy widely prevailed and the ancient
form of society was largely broken up.
It is said that Roderick O'Connor, son
Of Turlough, was the last Of the mon
arcbssOf Celtic Ireland. From that
time. the influence of Anglo Normans
increased.s

Forming a chil&s ldeas.

Priceless opportunities belong to a
mother to give to the baby, with his
whole life before him, the true foun-
dations of character and chances Of
future happiness and greatness. So
the first thing a wise woman does is
to reason the matter out, deciding on a
method of action which can be pursued
with as little deviation as possible.
Preparation is needed, for Just as love
does not bestow a mysterious instinct
as to the proper physical treatment Of
a baby, SO affection alone will not
prove a sufficient guide or teacher in
the matter of character training. One
has to cultivate the power of restrain
ing impulse, Of infinite patience and
Infinite self-control and 4 firm grasp Of
those principles which underlie the for
-mation of character. By possessing
these powers herself, the mother Is
able to direct a child's conduct and to
suggest motives to him at q time when
his impulses are natural and his ideas
yet uniformed, when he will learn lit.

Automobile travel is increasing to a
remarkable extent in this part of the
country and heavy trucks are being
utilized for hauling merchandise be-

This increase in motor traffic is, how

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR A
NATIONAL GUARD co. HERE

Considerable interest was occas-
toned bv the announcement last week
that River Falls had an opportunity
to secure a Wisconsin National
Guard unit.
Mr.. Kenneth White started out with
a petition to the Adjutant General
for such unit to be located at Riv
er Falls and secured some thirty
signers Wednesday afternoon.
Fifty-three signers is the minimum
required by Gen. Holway before he
will visit this city and take steps to
organize company here. The min
imum quota has undoubtedly been
secured by this time, but the farther
this city can go lover the top" the
better consideration it will receive
in this project.
The people here are urged to 'talk
it up" and to help boost for this unit.
There is great enthusiasm manifest
here and it appears to be the gener-
al sentiment that the establishment
of this unit here will be another
laurel added to the prestage which
River Falls already holds in this cor
ner of the state"

ed, and he made a post-mortem ex-
animation of the body. He made a
statement before the jury that the
examination showed that death was
he result of burn on the back, and
that there were no other indications
of physical disorder.
The jury, which consisted Of
Messrs. Victor Bailey, r. w. Free
man, Geo. B. Phifer, o. A. Csen, A.
c. Dunn and Rod McGregor, concar-
red in the Doctors report.
The deceased, it is claimed, had Wis
tied the John Till establishment at
Hudson on the Saturday previous to
his death, and there had received at
tention in the form of plaster, which
it is alleged, caused the burn hereto
fore alluded to. 1t is said that the
young mans back was terribly burn
ed and that he suffered excruciating
pain.
The results of Saturdays post
norton hearing have been turned
over to the District Attorney of st.
Croix county, and should he find the
testimony sufficient he will undoubt-
edly start action against Till
This, however, will be no new ex-
perience for Till, but, in the opinion
of some, the case in question appears
to have strength in the testimony of
the specialist that the burn was the
only cause of death, whereas in 9TH
er cases against Till the patients
have had other ailments which might
reasonably have been blamed.

TIE River Falls Volunteer Fire
Department has selected that Won
derful and thrilling film story Of the
Far North, Back to Gods Country"
by James Oliver Curwood, for a BEN
eft show to be put on at the Prin-
cess Theatre here Feb. II, 1920.
Never film like this was ever
shown in this territory before. Be-
sides the strong plot in its wonder
full scenic settings, there is the inter-
esting and instructive portrayal Of
wild animal life, so finely woven in
to the story that the audience is
held spell bound from start to finish.
The animals appear, not as pas
sive side issue, but take an active
part in the development of the play,
showing in some cases the fiercest
savagry of their natures.
Nell Shipman is the star, playing
the strenuous part of '"Dolores lie
Beau" who living with her father
in the wilds of Canada, was brought
up with bears, mountain lions and
wild cats, ETC., as her pets.
The full intensity of the play can
not be described. 1t must be seen to
be appreciated.
The films will be shown at a mat
inee in the afternoon and at the us
ual evening hours on Feb. IL, at the
Princess Theatre. For the matinee
the admission price will be SOC fol-
adults and 25c for children. The eve
ming shows will be so cents for all.

FINK BOUND OVER TO
$3.50 CIRCUIT COURT

The hearing of the case of the
State VS.. John Fink before County
Judge w. P. Knowles, was concluded
Saturday and the defendent was
bound over TO the May term of the
Circuit Court. He is out on $4,000
bonds.
At the opening Of the hearing on
Tuesday of last week Judge Knowles
courtroom was crowded and st,fling
while for five solid hours District
Atty. w. G. Haddow, for the State,
and Attys. John Foley and F. NJ.
White, for the defense, questioned
the principal witness, Miss Clara
Lewendoski
Miss Lewendoski told her story and
answered all questions in a compos-
ed, even manner, and at no time APP
peared uncertain or i'll at ease. She
is about sixteen years of age, and for
the past eight years has lived in ELS
worth as member of the Richard
Hanson family, the Hansons bring
ing her there from a La Crosse or
phanage. Here she had had an ideal
home. She attended the Ellsworth
high school and had reached the Jun
ior year.
On the stand she related the story
of her life in Ellsworth, her alleged
relations with John Fink, and the
events which eliminated in her ar
rest and conviction on the charge OF
larceny and her commitment to the
Girls Industrial school at Milwaukee
where she is now enrolled.
At the time of her commitment
about a month ago, she gave an al
legged confession of improper rela-
tions with the defendant, which, she
claimed, first occurred at a club
house on Rush river after she ac-
companied Mr.. Fink on a trip to the
vicinity of Plum City to deliver q
piano, either in August or September
last.
At the hearing Tuesday she stated
that while during late years the de-
PENDENT had shown her few atten-
lions of sentimental character
there had been nothing more serious
until the return from this trip to
Plum City, when, she says, she COM
mitted her first indescretion. After
that, she stated, she and the defend
ant had had several clandestine
meetings, usually at the piano store
but once at the Fink home and al
another time at the Hanson home
when others of the family were out
of town.
A great deal of Tuesdays hearing
was taken up with detailed accounts
of these meetings. but in the course
of this testimony there were brought
out statements regarding alleged es,
capades which, she testified, came lat
er in Fargo, N. D., and st. Paul

thorities. She first ran away last
October, after missing an afternoon
session of school, fearing, she claim
ed, the consequences OF that act and
its report 70 the Hansons, whom she
referred to throughout the hearing
as father" and mother"
Her story of these escapadas. rs
we'll as her testimony regarding the
defendant, was listened to with eager
attention by the crowd, which was
jammed intentionally around the
walls and railing of the court room.
At no time was it necessary, while
this subject was under discussion, for
the Judge to rap for order. for the
dropping of pin would have made
an actually startling crash in the
breathless silence. Nor did the dis
comfort of their cramnei positions
ever seem to lessen the anxiety OF the
crowd to hear it through. No place
was vacated and they only change
was made by new arrivals who held
tenaciously to the outer edge.
Miss Lewendoski was on the stand
from about 1870 until after 6 o'clock
and was succeeded by two or three
others who were up but q few minut-
es each.
The defendant, who had entered
plea of mot guilty" was not placed
on the witness stand at this hearing.
