Facts About the Proposed Hospital

For the information of our citizens
who seem so deeply interested in the
proposed hospital, / will say, that
while the sisters have not formally ac-
cepted Mrs. Ringling's most generous
offer, the negotiations have advanced
so far, that they cannot gracefully
back out if the people of Baraboo only
do the little expected of them and
supply the necessary funds to furnish
and equip the building and make the
necessary improvements to fit it up
for first class hospital.
l wish to say that it is almost inn
possible to secure hospital sisters for
a town the size of ours The supply is
not equal to the demand. And it was
only after meeting with several re-
fusals that we finally succeeded in
getting those sisters to give us any
consideration.
The sisters whom we are about to
secure belong to the same order as
those who conduct st. Mary's hos
pital n Madison, and they are among
the most efficient hospital sisters in
this country.
If we place no obstacle in the way,
the hospital will open it's
doors within six weeks, with a COM
plete staff of ten we'll trained hos
pital sisters in charge

THE UNSEEN CITY

At o'clock of a dark, foggy morn
ing the clear, ripping notes of a
robin suddenly ring out from the top
of a tree near the heart of the city.
How the little optimist knows that
dawn is approaching is a complete
mystery to the belated human who
chances to pass. 1t is still as dark
as at midnight; the moon, high in
the sky, is dimly outlined through the
mist. No faintest glow penetrates
the haze to the east.
But the robin seems to know, and
so do his fellows. The first tentative
notes of the earliest singer seem to
awaken half a dozen others in every
block. Soon the air is fairly ringing
with the chorus. A scant two blocks
from Main street, and one of it's
busiest corners, a cardinal, timid
creature of thickest woods, whistles
from a high perch. : wild cottOntail
rabbit, feeding on the tender grass of
"a lawn, becomes uneasy and hops in
ungainly fashion across the street to
the opposite side, a strange sight on
the pavement that a few hours later
will be resounding from the wheels Of
ice wagons and the whir Of spinning
rubber res.
There are innumerable other little
wanderers from the fields and woods.
A flicker sends forth his long. must
cal "brrr." Bluejays are early awake,
and they delight in making as much
noise as possible, except when. like
boys, they chance to discover a deli
cious morsel to eat, when silence
reigns lest others be attracted In the
old, unused barns at the rear of the
lots rats race back and forth in the
darkness.
All this exotic. wild life in the very
middle of a large city, totally unsus-
pected by most of the thousands of
men who hurry about their errands in
daylight hours in the impression that
this is urban territory. The fact is
significant, perhaps. of mans inabil-
ity, however he may crowd himself in
a congested city, to shut out nature.

tice this rattle is partly gone so the
snake is an old timer The snakes
break their rattles off in getting
around in the rocks. These snakes
were found lying on punches of dry
leaves in the bright sun, not on one
place but a rod or two apart. They
had evidently crawled from their
home in the ledge. There were Sc
veral woodchuck holes near the
snakes as it is almost impossible to
get near them with a club when
