How / Can Save the Woods and
Wild Life of Villas County.

Villas county is a pretty county.
The tourists come here in summer.
| can help to keep Villas county
more beautiful by not catching
the little fish that are not nine
inches long.
Instead of killing the little birds
we must give food to them to eat,
and build bird houses to protect
them. And we must not kill the
baby deer and not kill the mother
deer or the baby deer will die.
We must not make a fire in the
woods because it will spread and
spoil the trees. / will not throw
tin cans in the lakes or in the
rivers.
can help to make Villas county
more beautiful by not killing the
trees or cutting off the birch
bark. We must not climb trees or
you will break the branches off
and it will kill the tree. We must
not throw glass into the lake be-
cause people will cut themselves
when they go swimming.

"ViIas County"


Villas County is 'The Switzer-
land of America the land of
beautiful lakes, rivers, streams
and forests.
One may start at New Orleans
and travel entirely by water to
the most northern part of Villas
county. Two rivers will be ira
versed: the Mississippi and the
Wisconsin. We are proud of the
spots of beauty found on old
"Wisconse," and proud, too of the
fact that it starts in our county

woods, and when we Camp we
should be sure to put out the fire
We should always be careful with
matches when we are near dry
grass because dry grass catches
flre so quickly. The lakes are
scattered throughout the woods:
the trees that grow in the woods
house the birds that build their
homes there.
can help to save the birds by
not shooting those that we do not
eat, and not shoot birds for snort
The birds that we eat we must not
shoot out of season. If we want
BIRDS IN the trees we must not let
the cat get at them. We can keep
the cat away from the tree bv
putting nails close together then
the cat can not climb over the
mails because her paws cannot
catch hold of the nails. If she
tried shel would hurt her paws. In
the winter time the birds that
stay, we must feed them. Then
they will not starve when winter
comes.
How | can help to save the
flowers by letting them grow in
the woods: Sometimes we pick
flowers for pleasure. When some
one IS sick in bed we would like
to give them something. If we
have not anything we can give
them flowers. The flowers help to
make the woods look pretty. We
sometimes pick flowers to put in
vases. That helps to make the
rooms look pretty. Flowers
are the most beautiful wild life
within the woods. There are all
kinds of flowers in the woods and
they are all different colors. All
the pretty flowers decorate the
rooms. When somebody is sick
and died some day and you wanted
to put something nice on his
grave you can put pretty flowers
on the grave. The flowers help to
make the woods beautiful. A lot
of animals live in the woods. It
is cruel thing to kill animals.
When we go any place, sometimes
we see signs up like this do Not
Shoot" Then we should not shoot
unless we have too. And not shoot
animals out of season. When We
see an animal and we do not need
it we must leave it alone and not
shoot it for sport.
| can help to save the fish by
not throwing the head and tail of
a fish into the water. There was
once some people; they came to
camp; the men caught fish for
supper and after they had eaten
the body of the fish they threw
the head and tail back into the
water. Then they went out to fish
but they did not get any more be-
cause they threw the head and
tail back into the water. After we
did not want the cans and old
things that we do not want we
must not THROW them into the
water. Some people put fish into
the water for us so we can catch
them, and have them to eat; we
can eat fish. All the fish live in
the water. We must not fish in
the winter time and break little
holes and fish through them be-
cause that is not the law.

They were married and Betty's we'd

But after a time Harry, with his

attentive, less affectionate.
"Dont you love me any more?" she
asked one day.
"Of course I love you. Do women

She thought about it. S1e supposed

Perhaps it was because when girl
was being urged to matrimony she was
always being implored for her love and
lust so soon as it was assured the
/ question of sentiment was left behind.
And then she had an idea! She
would visit a friend of hers who had
married a naval officer. She would
take her friend into her confidence,
She would explain that Harry vas still

loved no one else, and yet he was so
bound and fettered by ideas rather
than facts that he thought arriage

wanted to use her maiden name-and
that she would not wear wedding
ring.
Splendidly successful was it all !
And how amused she was at the men

to her, and who told her just what
they thought of women" anyway-sc
like her Harry. And yet different from
him, for Harry had such charm; Harry
was really so fine, so much a person

Harry was to come out for Christ

Dinah only thanked "de good

LETTER FROM MRS. MARY AL
DEN PRESCOTT TO JOHN AL
DEN PRESCOTT
MY DEAR SON:

MY DEAR SON:
After my last letter TO you. which
you did not think worthy of an an
swer, I fully determined never to
write you again.
But a mothers heart-even when 1t
is broken and bleeding-cannot quite
cast out her only child.
In my last letter I told you Of
picture which dear Priscilla Bradford
had seen and which made me think
that the suspicious might find Cos
siping circumstances coincident to the
adoption of that nameless brat you
have seen fit to call after your most
illustrious ancestor.
Positive Proof
OF course, that letter was only one
of conjecture. but now, my dear son,
I have positive proof that your wife
q hate to call her by that holy name)
is holding cIandestine meetings with
another man. and I am almost sure
that her own family are aiding and
lbetting her in this terrible thing.
am sure Providence is working
through dear Priscilla Bradford for
your salvation. How otherwise could
she be in New York just at this time
and see your wife In intimate CONVEX
sation with a man, evidently an Eng
lishman. in the public dining-room of
a hotel.
It seems to me that at least she
should, for the sake Of your name,
have kept her affairs more private.
But. no, she has Haunted them to the
world.
In the Dark
OF course, my dear boy, not having
heard from you lately. I am not sure
but that you and Leslie have sepa-
rated. AS much as I 1eplore divorce.
viii confess to you that hope this
is true, especially as dear Priscilla
taken that baby you adopted with
her.
If my surmise is correct. and If you
have found you have made a great
mistake by marrying Leslie. and have
separated. I will make the great sac
riflce OF leaving my home here where
all the furnishings speak OF your an.
cestors and come and live with you in
your home.
OF course. not knowing any one
there. I Will hope to persuade dear
Priscilla Bradford TO come with me
Then. my dear boy. I am sure you
would find home such as not even
you have dreamed.
Priscilla is returning from New York
tomorrow A telegram to me would
bring us to you within the next few
days.
Your loving and forgiving
MOTHER.
