Robin Redbreast
Chooses Wrong
Bathing Place

One of our exchanges tells of a
robin that made a bad mistake in
choosing a place to battle one day
recently. Workmen on highway
had been using tar to patch up
some defective places in the con-
crete and the sticky substance had
become warm in the sunshine and
had formed a pool by running to-
gether. The robin evidently took
this glossy surface for a bathing
place and alighted in it. 1t was a
serious mistake for this summer
songster. 1t could not pull itself
loose and in its effrts to escape
had become literally covered with
the tar, it's feathers being one solid
mss of smeary stuff. The bird
had probably been in the mire all
night and had become exhausted
in its efforts to free itself. 1t was
killed to put it out of it's misery.

GIRL REVEALS
3DAY Spree

A scarlet -rivaling the most
lurid "jazz-mania adventures of
metropolitan flappers-was un-
folded to Monroe police by a 16-
year old New Glarus girl who dis
appeared for three days after a
country barn dance. She was
found by her parents in Monroe
where they had come for police
aid in searching for the girl. She
told police of wild automobile rides
to Madison twice in three days, to
Juda, Albany and Monticello. She
had not slept in, a bed in the three
days but had associated with a
number of men she said. She nam
ed two who are being held by pol
ice on serious statutory charges
based on her sworn statements.
Her parents had accompanied her
to the barn dance but had left her
il charge of her brother when they
went home.

Indians Made
Maple Sugar

Mr.. J. P. Harrington, of the
Smithsonian Institution, says that
the Indians were adept at maple
sugar making before the coming of
the white man. In fact, the whites
learned of maple sugar from the
Indians and initiated their process
of tapping the trees and boiling
down the sap The Indians made
both sirup and cake sugar of the
most delicious kind and it was an
article of barter among them. They
also made two other kinds of SUI
gar. The root of the mescal, a
kind of agave, was roasted and then
eaten. This had the appearance
and sweetness of roasted but
rather tough sugar beet. The ma
tive cane growing lin the Western
states was used for preparing a
brownish sugar of excellent flavor.
It was sold in cakes and considered
by Indians a great delicacy, since
it was made by laboriOus process
and the cane was rather scarce and
difficult to procure. But the maple
sugar was the most savory and i'm
portant of the Indian sugars

oliver Emell and Lavec also were
Indian traders doing a great bust
ness. AS many as 500 Indians
were encamped upon the site Of
the present State House at Madison
at one time, getting powder, hatch
cts, whiskey and other supplies in
trade for their furs, etc. These
men, by their intimate association
with the savages, exercised a pow
erful influence over them, and to
them is due a great deal the credit
for the absence of Indian troubles
in this section of the state during
the early days.

Christian Science

On Local Theatre

On the bulletin board of the pub

the Christian Science Monitor of
recent date which is of much in

tiCle is written about the AL Ring

pears under the head "A Metrop-

says:

Way back in 1883, November Is,
at o'clock in the morning, a
shower of meteors visited the

sooner did the new hops begin 20

bottom had dropped out of the
market. The eastern growers,
having successfully banished the

ted.
Editors Note: Another element
besides the hop louise which en-
tered into the reduction in price
was the use of bark as a substi-
tute by the brewers. Just as lumber
climbed in price in recent years,
paper cartons have taken the place
of boxes made of boards, so the
brewers used something besides
hops to produce the bitterness in
beer.
When W. s. Grubb was the lead
ing hop buyer in Baraboo, some of
the growers thought he was cutting
the price mercilessly and the pro-
ducers shipped to London and
elsewhere. Some of the shipments
did not bring enough to pay the
freight.
Jared (Jerry) Dodd continued
to grow hops for some years after
the crash at small profit, Others
plowed up their fields. About the
time of the crash here New York
had improved the production, in
ferior hops been produced in the
past, and the state Of Washington
entered the Ifield with superior
cones or strCbiles.
The hop house, where the hops
were dried, on THE Dodd place
still stands, also on the Calvert
farm north of town, on the Hoege
place near .he Man Mound, and
elsewhere in the region. All speak
of the glorious age of hop produc-
ton when money flowed freely and
when pickers crowded the streets
of every village roundabout.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets--the sub
stitute for calomet--are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little
ovile-colored tablets are the result of
DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaint swith cal
0mel
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that Gallo mel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or Gallo
mel. They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct 1t. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Give

a young man who practiced medicine

towns and cities because of his sue.

This was DR.. Pierce, who finally
made up his mind. to place some of
his Medicines before the public, and
moving to Buffalo, N. Y, put up
what he called his "Favorlte Pre-

druggists in every state.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
has long been recognized as a tonic
for diseases peculiar to womankind.
After suffering pain, feeling nery-

The Tangle
LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEU
PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRES
COTT, CONTINUED.

COTT, CONTINUED.
A little later, Leslie. perhaps Jim
mic Condor can carry on the bust
ness, but you know that your father
did not think he was capable or he
would have put him in instead Of
me. Besides, it is madness to re-
ward a man who. like Condor. had
prepared to run away with the pay-
roll by bringing him back and MAX
ing him general manager OF the
firm.
II will be some years before I will
feel that I can fully trust him. He
is very young and very impulsive.
In the meantime we cannot shut
down the mill
Leslie, I'm some ways you ARE one
of the most innocent women I have
ever .l--TG. All women are most
unforgiving Of those sins they know
nothing abour. Some old French
man said, THE temptation to which
we think 1t is most sinful to sue
cumb is the temptation which does
not tempt us"
/ think you will find this true
| / thought, dear-yes, you are still
the dearest woman on this earth
that you might at least come to
understand that men are queer
creatures. slightly monstrous per-
haps. in the eyes of the delicately
minded woman. Such is a mans
complex heart that he can love a
woman with his whole soul and be
untrue to her all the time. That Is
the difference between a man and
woman. A man can be in love
with one woman while being very
much interested in another. and a
woman may be interested in many
men but she can only love one Of
them at a time.
Leslie. do have to tell you that
the woman In a mans arms is not
always the woman in his heart.
Have you not yet learned from the
modern stories and from the lives
of your friends that. however tragic
a woman regards the seventh COM
mandment, TO a man 1t has always
seemed something like the eight
zenith an1endment-a law that may
be necessary for the other fellow,
but not for ones self.
You see. dear. I am being per-
fectly frank and honest with you.
I am not trying to gloss over any
thing. and yet I want, oh. how
want you to know, that love you
with all the intensity OF the male
animal as well as with all the adj
miration and reverence of which my
soul is capable.
You are mine. dear. However
much you may chafe against your
bonds, you are mine.
1 am proud of my possession, and
strange as It may seem to you,
want you to be happy.
OF course, there are times when
I forget you utterly. Men have
minds of only one track. When they
are using It to further their bust
ness, or any other activity which
does not concern their wives, they
forget them.
