MOONSHINE EGG
MAKES DEBUT.

Madison, Wis, June 10-The moon
shine egg has made it's appearance
in Madison. 1t has baffied both the
police and the prohibition enforce
ment agents. The bootlegger invent
ing the deception told his secret only
after going out of business. He blew
out the contents of hens eggs, he
said, and then filled the shells with
liquor. Sealing wax was applied to
repair the broken portion of the
shells and make them liquor tight.
The shells were placed in a large
market basket and kept in plain view.
Evidence came to the authorities
that the Madison man was selling
liquor by the drink at his home, and
a series of raids was ordered. Eight
times within six weeks officers visit
ed the home, each time making a
thorough search. Liquor was never
found, even though spoilers had re-
ported to the officials that they had
purchased moonshine there.
An egg shell holds about three
fingers of liquor, the bootlegger said.
The eggs were never broken in view
of the customer, and no one but the
seller and his family knew that the
large basket of eggs contained liq-
uor.

STATE WOULD BUY
HARD WOOD FOREST.

Madison-Unanimou report favor
ing purchase by the state of Northern
Lakes park at a price approximating
$250000, was made to the legislature
Monday by the special legislative in
vestigating committee. The area con-
sists of more than 5000 acres of vir-
gin timber land, and 1000 acres of
lakes in Sawyer and Price counties.
The committee in determining on
the best method of financing the pro-
ject should the legislature decide that
it should be purchase foT a state
park, to become the Yellowstone of
Wisconsin, it says. Meeting has been
held with Henry Johnson, state treas
urer, and Atty. Gen. Morgan to talk
over details OF the plan.
Description of the proposed park is
made in the report, which tells OF eX-
periences of the members with deer
and other wild animals which have a
refuge in the area.
Thirty Miles OF Lake Shore.
"The choicest portion includes over
thirty miles of lake shore and has
about eight miles Of river course and
land area of approximately 1854
about $50 acres are owned by the
state and another 700, as nearly as
can be estimated, have been improved
for smaller home and resort pur-
poses, and are safe from spoilation,
but the remainder, about 1880 acres,
exclusive of some 1000 acres cover
ing lakes and streams, is the part
which should be acquired by the state.
"The lakes are spring fed, some of
them approximately 40 feet deep, but
the majority of them more shallow in
the greater portion. They are tenn
ing with fish and several large mus
kellunge were seen.
Reached by Autos.
"The park area is reached by auto
mobile from route No. 70 at the upper
end of Long lake and within a short
time will also be accessible at Con-
nors lake. There were no cutover
lands and only a small portion Of
marsh or lowlands to be found.
THAT the lumber companies which
owned a majority of the land in the
proposed park are preparing to log
the heaviest timbers Immediately was
indicated by the fact that at Connors
lake the Flambeau Lumber Co. has it's
camp already prepared Tor occupancy
and only delayed operations this sum-
mer at the request, of the gentlemen
promoting the proposed park until the
legislature could take action.
Forest Cut il Not Bought.
1.-THE committee passed over log
ging road between Long and Round
lakes, which the West Lumber Co.
had recently completed. Unless some
action is taken at this time both these
companies will begin operations at
once and a considerable portion Of the
forest will have been cut before the
next legislature meets.
"It is therefore the unanimous opin-
ion of the committee that this tract
because of it's combination of rivers
and lakes with it's abundance of fish,
it's virgin forests, and wild animals,
is valuable asset to the state and
should be preserved in it's present
beauty for the present and future
generations, by being set aside as a
state park"

Romance in Origin
OF Supershtions
Bubbles and Money.

In this country and Canada al
common superstition is that bubbles /
floating on cup OF tea or coffee
signifies that money is coming to
YOU. In some sections It is con-
sidered necessary to try and take up
the bubbles in a spoon; you will have,
as many dollars as you can catch
bubbles. This is remnan. of the
ancient magic art of hydromancy.
divination by cup OF water as prac-
ticed by Joseph in Egypt. SEQ
Genesis, xiv, S, Water was used Tor
divinaton by the Egyptians because
Isis was sometimes regarded as the
earth when fecundated by the
waters OF the Nile and vessel OF
water was therefore carried in her
professions. In ancient times any
troubling of the waters. in a pool
or in cup, was considered OF slg-
niiicance. In modern necrcmancy
the coffee cup has succeeded to the
divining cup of Joseph and tea and
coffee to the formulating waters
born before Isis But as of old the
bubbles rising in our divining cup
mean something.
But why money? Because the
influence of Egyptian mythology
upon Roman mythology was strong
and though the cult of Isis was bu,
slightly identified with the cult Of
Juno, yet Isis was the chief of tn.
Egyptian goddesses as Juno was the
chief of the Roman goddesses. And
when the Romans first began to coin
money they established their mint in
the temple of Juno and called their
coinage Moneta, that being one OF
the appellations of the goddess. the
name being derived from monere to
warn, connected with nerlinisre to
and the Greek merimnos
anxious So it is the :
breath OF Juno that rises in bubbles
in our coffee cups and Juno under
her name of Moneta means money
Doubtless when the ancient Romans
practised this rite with cup oi
water they invoked the goddess.

Timothy Turtles Complaint.
BY ARTHUR l8eTT BAILEY
&..AllA - !.
CHAPTER XNlII.


1t happened that the Bobolink
family moved to Cedar Swamp just
when Timothy Turtle had arrived
there for short outing, 1t was Mr.
Turtles custom to leave his home in
Black Creek now and then and
spend a few days in some other
neighborhood. He said that after
living i'll the creek as many years as
he had it did him good to get a
change once in while About every
40 years he paid visit to the Beaver
Pond on the other side of Blue
Mountain. But he visited Cedar
Swamp oftener than that, because it
was nearer his home.
There was scarcely anybody that
was glad to see Mr. Turtle. He was
a snappish. surly old chap. And he
was forever finding fault with every
body and everything. 1t seemed as
ii you couldn't please him, no matter
how much you tried. He had spent
less than week in Cedar Swamp
before every one voted him nui-
sance. And he had invitations, daily,
to go back where he came from.
But Timothy Turtle announced in
no uncertain tones that he wouldn't
go till he was ready. He said that
it was waste OF breath to urge him
10 leave, and that those that didn't
care for his company might move.
He promised that he wouldn't stop
anybodS-unlcss he happened to get
hold of him!
Naturally every one took pains to
keep out of Timothy Turtles reach,

Snap Judgment.

Perhaps YOU have placed your
self in the position of a person
known for poor Judgment and it all
came about because your boss asked
a question and you wanted him to
believe that you are quick thinker,
Sc you gave answers not well
thought out.
Now the man who asks you a
question does not want snap judg-
nent and snap answers.
He wants sound, logical, helpful
answers to his queries.
IF the question be difficult and
presents many sides, he is less likely
to have confidence in you after one
of your quick comc-backs, even i
you were correct, for he wants to

1t was we'll known that when his
powerful jaws closed upon per
sons leg. for instance, its unlucky
owner might as well not try to get
away till Timothy was ready to let
him go. And If it happened to be his
head that Timothy Turtle seized
well, then he was unluckier still!
If Timothy Turtle was grumpy
before Bobby Bobolink moved to
Cedar Swamp, it would be hard to
say what he was afterward. For
Bobby Bobolink's happy songs
drove Timothy Turtle almost crazy.
He. said that if he had known he
would have to listen to such merry
singing he would have taken his
outing in the Beaver Pond. though
he wasn't really due there for 50
years, because he had visited the
Beaver colony only the summer be-
fore.
When Timothy heard Bobby Bob
olink's song ringing through the
swamp he hurried as fast as he could
toward the place where it seemed to
como from. Timothy did that, not
because he wanted to hear the sing
ing better, but because he had some
thing to say to the singer. He
wanted to tell him to keep still And
he had a good many disagreeable
remarks on the tip OF his tongue, all
ready to fling at Bobby Bobolink.
But somehow Mr.. Turtle never
succeeded in finding Bobby. After
Mr. Turtle had swum i'll one direc-
ton he sure to hear the song in
another Some times he would even
leave the water and crawl over the
soggy, boggy turf; and that was
slow work for Timothy Turtle. You
may be sure it did not improve his
temper to find that his journeying
had been all in vain.
1t happened that at last somebody
told Bobby Bobolink that Mr. Turtle
wanted to speak 10. him. And being
most obliging. Bobby set out to find
Timothy. Its a shame" he said,
s'to disappoint an old gentleman"
Anybody could tell, from that re
mark, that he didn't know Timothy
Turtle.

Where 1t Started
The Blues"

This phrase, descriptive of moods
of depression or melancholy has a
very interesting origin. 1t was
formerly believed that, working with
indigo dyes caused fits of melancholy
as the chemical worked on the sys-
TEN through the skin; and as the
dyers were tearly always stained
blue ia parts of their bodies, the
phrase came into current use to ex-
press low spirits or moodiness.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
TT ONLY WORKS IN THE FILM

At the movies, little Willie
Saw pretty child of six
Knox a large policeman silly
With half a dozen bricks.
Willie. as his way he wended
Homeward, thought he'd do the same:
To his mind this seemed a splendid
Highly fascinating game.
Now his little form is aching
In hundred parts at once,
And he isn't undertaking
Any further movie stunts. a4
Little Henry, who would rather
See a movie show than eat
Watched a boy trip up his father
(On the screen) and said, How neat"
He went home convulsed with laughter,
Thinking what he meant to do
And day or two thereafter
He upset his parent too,
Now his pulse is palpitating
And the rest of him is sore,
And he isn't initiating
Movie children any more.
Tommy watched an infant actor
Give his dear old nurse start
When he violently smacked 'er
With fluffy lemon tart
Nightly this caper pleased him
When he saw it on the screen
And next day the fancy seized him
To enact the self-same scene.
Tommy's ears are hurting badly
He is game, and doesn't cry
But he wonders, rather sadly
How those movie kids get by.
