lily Reduced to Ashes Over
Night Little Saved

The Treadwell cottage on Mes
senger shore of Devils lake, the sum-
mer home of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. T.
Treadwell of Chicago, was reduced
to ashes Sunday night. When the
blaze broke out the family and a
daughter had retired but awoke and
escaped from the burning cottage un-
injured. Mr.. Treadwell rescued a few
articles of clothing in his escape but
the rest of the family did not have
time to find theirs. Little or nothing
was saved from the ruins.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Park Superintendent Atwood Smith
and a crew of men were on the scene
all night The park men kept the
flames from adjoining cottages and
subdued the fire that caught on the
trees. The bluff near the cottage
caught on fire but was extinguished
early this morning.
The loss of the cottage and con
tents are partly covered by insur-
ance.
The cottage was built by Dr. Tread
well, deceased, about 20 years ago
The Clark cottage and the one burn
ed were the only two on Messenger
shore at that time. When the cottage
was obtained by G. T. Treadwell its
value was estimated at $4,000 and has
increased in value since then, be
cause of several Improvements made
The wife and daughter were invited
to the Bissell cottage and spent the
night there. Mr.. Treadwell, having in
jured his hand in trying to open a
window of the place, was brought tC
town by J. J. Pfannstihel, to have the
member treated.

MADISON SCOUT
MASTER TALKS
LOCAL CHURCH
Three Madison Boy Scouts Also
at Congregational Church Sun
day With Lewis KesIer

Lewis Kesler, Assistant Master of
Madison Boy Scouts, with three BOYS
from different Madison troops, oc-
cupied most of the Sunday school and
church hour at the Congregational
church Sunday morning. Mr.. Kesler.
who is a student in the state univer-
sity, talked of the relation of boy
scout activities to the physical, men
tai, social and spiritual nature and
needs of boys from II to Is years of
age. Making use of the gang in
stinct", it organizes the gang, and
directs natural tendencies, which, un-
appreciated and either undirected or
thwarted, so often become destructive
to real manhood and result in an as
sault upon civic welfare, into con-
structive, helpful life. The boys with
Mr.. Kesler demonstrated a few of the
Scout stunts" such as tying certain
knots and explaining some of their
uses, semaphone signaling with the
arms, and flag signalling by the
Morse code; making a fire without
matches. This last was demonstrated
by a boy who holds the Madison rec
ord for this. 33 seconds.
The interest of youths, and adults
as well, was remarked by those who
noticed the intensely absorbed ah
tention given the talks and demon
strations. The girls, also were deep
ly interested, one of the girls remark
ing, Il wish l had known last Thurs
day how to start a fire without mat
ches when some OF us had a weiner
roast" Much of the boy scout handi-
craft is common to the activities of
girl scouts and camp fire girls.
If, as some sociologists claim, the
higher civilized races are in some
respects overcivilized, and thus are
becoming unable to compete with the
lesser breeds" in the struggle for
existence here seems to be indicated
a return in part to the ability success
fully to wrestle with nature at first
hand, with the added advantage of
concurrent mood and spiritual cui-
ture.
There is a boy scout troop in the
Presbyterian church here, and one in
process of organization in Glenville,
