WILLOW VALLEY NOTES

Here is an account of a strange in
cident of recent occurrence in this
community and the writer knows to
certainty that the statements are real
facts One resident who has been all
ing for many months has been cared
for and watched over by sympathetic
neighbors. A few nights since one of
those neighbors took his turn at the
bedside of the invalid. In this posi-
ton he dozed off to sleep. On awak
ening he glanced toward the bed and
was Mortified to find the sick man
gone He turned his gaze the other
way and his hair stood straight up,
for there was his sick friend looking
at him as much to say, I'm not dead,
if you did think l was" That watch
Ell declares that he got the worst
scare of his life right there and has
not recovered from the shock yet. The
patient is still alive and it's waste
of words to- say there is one watcher
who will not neglect his duty again.
He doesn't like the idea of the watch
er being watched.
At one of the ice cream parlors in
this region occurred gastrOnomic
feat which is a record smasher. One
young UlOOu SGIu W dHOIuSI, IL Uuy
a quart of ice cream if you'll eat it
all at one sitting" The challenged
party accepted the bid and in few
minutes had gotten himself outside Of
that frozen edible. Several young
fellows witnessed the feat and at the
finish one of the spectators said, I'll
buy another quart if you'll eat it as
quickly as you did the other" That
gastronomist took on the bid and soon
got away with another serving after
which he said, Are there any more
philanthropists in this bunch, if so
I'm ready to be served again" This
bluffed the crowd and the star per-
former saw that there were no more
gratuitous suckers among the specta-
tors, so he called for liberal supply,
paid for it and then ate it to the great
amusement of his acquaintance who
witnessed the affair. And the Won
der is he is alive yet.-Richland

POTOSI NATIVE DEAD

Frank B. Cole, Tacoma, Wash, vice
president of a large timber concern,
sends the Herald an account of the
recent death of his cousin, NJ. B. Au-
gustin, who many years ago, lived at
Potosi and Platteville. Mr.. Cole is a
son of VIM. Cole of Beetown, where he
was born. He says he is often asked
where Beetown is and that he replies
Nobody knows but myself and the
postmaster Even DR.. Chas. Van
Hise, then president of the U. of Wis,
asked Mr.. Cole where Beetown was.
This would indicate ignorance on the
part of DR.. Van Hise rather than OBJ
security on the part of BeetOwn-the
village being the only one of its name
in the world. Mr. Cole went to school
al Lancaster in the winter of 1S67-18
IS, but has forgotten al he learned.
He probably attended the old acad-
along with Dick Meyer, John Howe,
Frank Calls and others who were the
small boys of that day. Mr.. Cole says
he has wandered far since then and
landed in a good place Judging by the
appearance Of his letter head.
But about Mr.. Augustine. He was
a resident of Seattle for sixty years
and president of the wholesale groc-
cry firm of Augustine & Kyer, the
largest in the city. He died of para
lysis at the age of rs after an illness
of five months. Mr.. Augustin was
born in Potosi in 1914. His father
operated a sawmill and flour mill.
After attending business college in
Chicago, M. B. Augustine went west,
crossing the plains and mountains
with an OK team to Bakersfield, Calf.
Thence he went to Silver City, New.
There in 1869 he married Elizabeth
Hamilton. Deceased is survived by
his widow and son, julius, of Seattle,
and daughter, Mrs. Alice Kyer of Los

QUESTION AND ANSWER
(Muscoda PROGRESSIVE

(MuScoda PrOgreSSlve)
]. H., Muscoda.-If there is a scare
ity of coal now, what are we going to
do for it next winter?
Answer.-Use the hot air so prevail
ent around Muscoda.
X. NJ, Highland-I want to ask
you if fish worms or angle worms are
good for anything else besides fish
ing?
.Answer-What you refer to are
properly called earth worms. Darwin
long ago demonstrated that the earth
worm is really a farmers good
friend. The burrows of these worms
drain and aerate the soil, while the
earth which has passed through its
body is finely divided and constantly
being brought to the surface from
lower levels.
Reader, Blue Rive.-As soon as one
falls in love should they get married?
Answer.-No; it may only be infat-
uation If you are old enough gay
court until you are satisfied you are
mated.
Reader, Muscoda.-Why do so many
dance Orchestras play jazz?
Answer.-Because they can play the
same piece over and over without
anybody recognizing it.
j. Y, Muscoda.-I would like to
ask in your question column if the
ex-kaiser is a Free Mason?
Answer.-No. His religious pro-
clivities precluded his joining any Sc
cret society, he being Lutheran.
Reader Muscoda.-May l ask you
what is the percentage of intelligence
OF the American people? Also that
OF the European people?
notwithstanding to the psyche
/ logical tests of the United States
army the percentage of intelligence
is that of normal 12-year-old boy
We have no data on this TOR foreign
countries.
G. n, Cuba City.-Who is the
healthiest fat person or thin per-
son, l have heard this argument over
and over again. Another question in
playing hide and seek on my mind,
too, after washing the hair, should
you rub the head or should you just
leave it dry?
Answer-Usually a thin person is
healthier than a fat individual, al
though the percentage drops in both
cases the father they are removed
from the normal. Concerning the
other question will say it depends. A
blockhead should rub the head;
otherwise the mind may become
warped.

PROGRESS IN BANK CASE
(MOOtfOrt ATain

District Attorney Clementson was
here Thursday on business in connec-
ton with the search the law is now
making for Clyde X. Stephens, cashier
of the Montfort State Bank, who van
ished June Sth. In company with
Mayor Kramer D. James and others
he visited the territory where Clyde
staged his last act as far as this COM
munity has been able to determine, in
the hope that the everlasting hills
might yet give some clue that would
lead to the solving of the mystery.
The district attorney also looked
into another phase of the affair, which
by the way, was suggested in the
Mail, issue of June 18th. He inter
viewed parties who met and had bust
ness dealings with Mr. Wayne on that
memorable June Sth. He secured q
detailed description of the man whom
o number of our citizens allege was
interested in an insurance company
in which they purchased stock and
which they now believe to be unre-
liable as an investment. Color is
added to the belief that Stephens and
Wayne might have departed together
by the report coming to Lancaster
from Wayne's wife in Minnesota to
the effect that she has not seen or
heard from him since. His wife and
two little children feel that he has de-
serted them, it is said.
Wallace G.. Edwards of the bank
commissioner Office, who is in charge
of the bank, went to his home IN
Madison Saturday and the bank was
closed until after the 4th. The big
job of righting the affairs OF the bank
is one that cannot be speeded up.
Those with obligations are finding 1t
out and those who have deposits,
large and small, have been given but
little satisfaction.
