| Many in BaraboO have read The
Mirrors of Washington" anonymous
ly written and published last winter
The author has been unmasked and
, his name is Clinton Gilbert, a Wash
ington correspondent OF the Phila-
delphia and other newspapers. Being
in Washington he has been able to
study the characters which he has de-
lineated so we'll Mr.. Gilbert was
born on Long Island ffty-one years
ago and graduated from the University
of Rochester
John B. Martin of Lyons has built
a unique Culvert or bridge in front
of his property. The West Baraboo
garage discarded a number Of truck
rims, portions of the hard rubber
clinging to the iron, and by placing
these close together a continuous
tube was made, earth covering the
whole Rounded stones have been
used in protecting the ends of the
cavity. TIL iron in the rims will last
for a long time but eventually will
return to tne earth as dust. Iron is
not lasting like copper or bronze, dis
indignation taking place rapidly. The
rims will last longer than Mr. Martin
no doubt, so there is small ground for
worry on his part.
The FIOuse by the Lake" is the
title Of an article in the last number
of Country Life and the description
is that of the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles H. Tenney of Madison. Mrs.
Tenney, nee Elizabeth Abbott, is n
daughter of Fl. w. Abbott of this city.
The residence was built a few years
ago and is located at the waters
edge of Lake Mendoza, but a few
blocks from the state house. In order
to reach the front door one goes
down brick steps past lowered ter
races, then down more steps to a
slOping lawn which is bordered by
the lake on one side and the house
on the other The front door opens
on the shady lawn, this door being
on the side of the house and the
back door in front. The living room
is practically glass on three sides and
as to the contents Mrs. Tenney says:
There is not a new piece of furniture
in the living room, except the little
gatelegged stand; every chair is very
old. the couch is an heirloom, the
spinnent desk is an antique, and
the andirOns and tenders are histcr-
ic." Space forbids a complete des-
cription. The article in Country Lire
is illustrated with four views and a
copy of the magazine may be seen at
the Baraboo public library.
