the hand of Miss Verna Hartnell,
daughter of Mrs. Ellen Hartnell,

When the late w. H. Canfeld
came to Wisconsin in 1912, he locat-

of the pioneer cabin is on land now
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. L. G. Farr.
The chimney was built of clay and
fiat stones taken from the creek
and all that remains of the site now
is a partly sward-covered heap OF
material from which the chimney
was made. The old well which
stood between the cabin and the
creek is almost filled. While the
family resided in this primitive
dwelling, two children died and
were buried on a knoll near the
house. The site of the graves is
entirely lost. The land purchased
from the government by Mr.. Can

in the neighborhood of forty rods
northwest of the Pewit's Nest

A Lew1stown, Montana, paper has
an amusing incident relative to the
wedding of Wayland Kier, a for

heading "Struttun' Along" it says:
We all know that the course of

that love laughs at jobbers as well
as locksmiths and SO on. 1t was
demonstrated again when Wayland
E. Kier, car inspector for the Mil
waukee, better known as DICK J,
and Miss Bernice Melchert, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. William A. Mel

The groom procured a marriage IL
cense in due season and likewise
engaged Rev. Evert Top to tie the
knot. While he was fusslng
around in his apartment, preparing
for the ceremony, a couple OF MS
close friends, Tom Johnston and
Lloyd Grogan, hooked the license
so that when the groom sallled
forth, all set for the wedding, as he
supposed, he soon found when he
reached the Melchert home and
faced the minister that the all i'm
portant permit to we'd was missing.
A hurried trip was made to the
courthouse and Did" was soon
back with another, license. The
ceremony was proceeded with, per-
formed in the presence of small
party of relatives. Mr.. Kier had
never thought of such a thing as
the marriage license being hooked
but he did foresee possible compli-
fcations at the depot, SO he arrang-
ed to have the train stop at the
head of Main street, figuring upon
outwitting any plotters in that
way. The same pair of jokers got

ANNETTE

ORANGE is responsible for the dash
= ing little name Annette, which con-
lures up visions of a slim, chic creature
of flashing eyes and saucy smile. The
very sound Of the name seems to pre-
clude any relationship with demure
Anne, but they have a common origin
in the Hebrew word meaning grace,
which the Irish have identified with
their native Aine (joy).
The name from which Annette was
evolved was first used in France after
a supposed appearance Of the good St.
Anne to two children at Array in Brit
tany, and first gained vogue as femi-
nine name through the Bretonne heir

larity i'll court circles insured It's wide

the English Anne, calling it Annot 1t

derivative of Anne.

Have You This Habit?

JOHN TORTIs

~HERE was sharp competition
l. among various contractors through
ont the state for the building of the
new memorial hall in the capital The
memorial committee had held meet
ings every day for a week, hearing
bids. comparing estimates, investigat-
ing credentials, until there were only
two principal candidates left. The
committee were the solidest citizens
of the community, and they had hon
estly sit heart the significance and
beauty and usefulness Of the new
hail.
Mr.. James Hare was talking.
"Gentlemen, believe me, If that hall
isn't finished before winter, and if it
isn't one of the sights to make the
old state proud, my name isn't James
Hare. that's all Trouble getting
labor? That's ali crazy Bolshevist
talk You give me this contract, and
Ill start work tomorrow-that's what.
Trust me, gentlemen, I know what
I'm talking about. You want a real
handsome memorial: this is no time
70 hem and haw. Well, / propose to
nut you up something that'll make the
whole country sit up and take notice"
Mr.. James Hare mopped his heated
brow violently and then, handkerchief
In hand. began to gesticulate wildly
In the enthusiasm of his oratory.
Presently he went out, leaving the
table heaped up with plans and blue
prints: and, almost before the COM
mittee were aware, quiet gentleman
was ushered into the room. 1t was
John Tortis, who had worked his way
mn from bottom to top in the firm he
represented.
What were the ideas Of the commit
fee about the memorial, was what
John Tortis wanted to know. Before
they knew 1t the committee were
speaking at length, one after another.
Meanwhile Mr. John Tortis simply put
in word here and there that served
to bring out more information from
the older men. 1t was only at the
very end of the interview that in
few concise sentences he made his
proposition in DEFINITE terms, with no
promises.
When tie fathers of the city we're
once more alone together they sat In
silence for a moment. Then the chair
man said: 81 am reminded of an old
saving of 10Y fathers. He taught us
when we were children that there is
a reason for all things and that the
good Lord has given us two eyes and
two ears and only one mouth for a
purpose. Gentlemen, my trust is in
the man whose habit it is TO use his
eyes and ears twice where he uses
his mouth once"
