DID HE LEAVE

"Why l came down from Eagle
River on the c. & N. w. railroad
in 1880, forty-one years ago.
There wasn't any railroad there
then. / tell you if you came down
from Eagle river in 1880 it was on

passed between Fred Lamere and

that he's sure there wasn't a rail-

ent is just as certain that in that
year he came down the line on the

The two men are we'll known old

prove conclusively just what year
the railroad was extended to Eagle

STUDENTS HEAR OF
MOOSE SCHOOL
ALMOST 1909 PUPILS IN THE
HIGH SCHOOL HEAR
MIR. BROWN
(Contributed)

Inc ftOn. DARIUS II. Brown gave d
most interesting speech at the high
school last Friday morning. The au-
ditorium was crowded, the entire stu
dent body of 976 being present and
everyone listened attentively.
MOOseheart School
The chief topic of Mr.. Browns
lspeech was the Mooseheart school, an
ideal institution for the young citizens
of Mooseheart. In this Mooseheart
school the pupils receive every advan
tage which will enable them to be-
come strong, worthwhile men and wo
linen.
The school endeavors to fit each
student in his niche, so that he will
be qualified to do the work for which
he is particularly adapted. When in
the fifth grade each pupil is asked to
name the occupation he wishes to
make his vocation. He is then given a
three months trial in his chosen work
One Example.
Mr.. Brown cited one boy as an ex-
ample. This boy, when asked what
vocation he would select, replied that
he thought his particular bent was
| farming, since he enjoyed ife in the
open. After three months trial he
returned to the superintendent asking
| that he be allowed to take up dairy
| farming. He had found agricultural
farming quite hard At the end of the
three months he took up printing, be-
coming printers devil. This work,
however, was confining and he longed
for outdoor life. He therefore began
to learn the trade of a carpenter, but
one day took up piece of clay and
made of it an image of his mother.
This showed the authorities that the
boys vocation was that of sculptor.
I He is now learning that work and may
some day prove to be a leader in that
| profession.
Law Body.
| Mr.. Brown, in recounting the work
ings of the school, said that the stu
dent body is the law-giving, law-en-
| forcing element. The case of any law
breaker is taken up by the students,
who decide the punishment. The GRIM
inal is placed in the work-line, where
he must NOW the lawn, pick up scraps
/ of paper and do the other "odd jogs"
He is ostraciZed by the other students
and is kept out of all sports.
| All athletic games, football, basket
ball, swimming, etc., are popular in
the school. Mr.. Brown said that the
men on the football team are not es-
pecially large but that their fine spirit,
clean lives and vim, make them for
midable opponents.
Admonishes Pupils.
Mr.. Brown closed his speech with
the parting injunction to the students
to remember their obligations to the
school and to be grateful for the ad-
vantages derived from their education.
Following the address, Ira c..
Painter, principal, called the high
school football squad to the rostrum.
Carl Giesler led the student body in
several snappy School yells.
| Mr.. Lean, the football coach, made
speech in which he asked the stu
dents to give their hearty support to
future football games. The meeting
was concluded with a speech by Mr..
Maxwell, the athletic manager, who
announced the games for the next two
Saturdays.

PFEIFER ESTATE
is DELIVERED
VICTOR KLECKER TAKES
S4S,000 TO RELATIVES
AT PRAGUE

After spending seven months or
travel, study and visiting relatives in
central Europe, Mr.. and Mrs. Victor
Klecker returned to Wausau the latter
part of last week. 1T was satisfac-
ton to me to see to it that the estate
of Charles Pfeifer was obtained from
the allied custodians just before l left
for Europe and to deliver that estate
to his brother and two sisters in
Szecho Slovakia." Mr.. Klecker told
the editor of The Pilot on his return.
Estate of $4Sy0OO.
Mr.. Pfeiffer,S estate of $4S,000 was
confiscated by the government during
the war, being willed to relatives in
enemy territory. The deceased had
been a business associate of Mr..
Klecker's for many years, the two OF
them operating the Pfeifer & Klecker
meat market.
"In Germany I found business
booming and industries humming,'
Mr.. Klecker said, telling of his ocean
voyage to Rotterdam, from which
point they went to Bentheim, Leipzig
and Dresden, Germany, stopping at
each place enroute to Mr.. Klecker' S
boyhood home near Prague in Czecho-
Slovakia.
No News of Russia.
What do you hear about Russia ??
asked the editor of Mr.. Klecker. "It is
peculiar" he answered, 'but the peo-
pie over there don't seem to be con-
cerned about Russia at all. We heard
very little reference anywhere on our
travels to what was going on in that
country. The outstanding thing about
in VII ic C
determined manner in which the peo-
pie are getting to work.
Outside of a few spots in the south
ern Alps, one would hardly realize
that there had been a war In Vienna
where we spent some time, the lawns
are not moved and the pre-war beau
in its cafes, theaters and hotels, how
was"
New Millionaires.
Mr.. Klecker has brother and a
sister who reside about fifteen miles
from Prague, where he formerly liv-
ed, and where the late Mr.. Pfeifer and
he attended school together. There he
spent most, of his time. '.The Czecho,
Siovakia government seems mos
stable" he declared. "They are work.
ing under a Republican form of gov.
ernment and if the people were only
assured about the value of their cur.
rency, l would say the future appear
ed bright" Mr.. Klecker said that il
the relatives of Mr.. Pfeifer decide to
convert their brothers estate into
Czecho-Slovakia currency they would
be rated as millionaires.
"On this trip l found more English
spoken than ever before" he contin-
ued, much more than before the war
There were many tourists everywhere
we went. 1t may be of interest that in
Vienna there are many Ford cars in
use"
On the trip across Mr.. and Mrs
Klecker were accompanied by Mr. anG
Mrs. William Junkerman, and son, and
brother of the latter, all of whom
were going to Westphalen, Germany
to reside at Hamm.

Best Team Won, General
Verdict of Englishmen
b. tle Associated PRESS.

+ ,ONDON, June 22.-The gen
eral verdict by press and pub
lie is that the best team won the
international polo match. Some
of the British followers of the
game are inclined to attribute
the defeat of the defenders this
year to American superiority in
mounts, which critics say is a
so per cent. factor in teams
chances for success. Other OBJ
servers. however, have called at
tention to the performances Of
the ponies in the championship
matches, during which in the
spurts down the field the British
mounts have held the advantage
quite as frequently as those of
the Americans and appeared to
average fairly evenly with the
American animals.
