HISTORIC PASSAGE.

The passage reads as follows:
"We say to you, that you have
made the definition Of business man
too limited in its application. The
man who is employed for wages is as
much a business man as his employer;
the attorney in a country town is as
much business man as the corpora
ton counsel in great metropolis the
merchant at the crossroads store is as
much business man as the merchant
of New York the farmer who goes
forth in the morning and tolls all day
who begins in the spring and tolls
all summer-and who by the applica-
ton of brain and muscle TO the nat
ural resources of the country creates
wealth, is as much business man as
the man who goes upon the board of
trade and bets upon the price of
grain; the miners who 90 down q
thousand feet into the earth, or climb
1000 feet upon the cliffs, and bring
forth from their hiding places the pre-
cious metals to be poured into the
channels of trade, are as much bust
ness men as the few financial mag
mates who, in back room corner the
money of the world. We come to
speak for this broader class of bust
ness man.
lin the next installment Mr..
Bryan tells the story OF the his
toric Democratic convention OF 1896,
and reveals the intimate details OF
the extraordinary chain of events
which led to his delivery Of the IA
nous Gross Of gold" speech and
stampeded the convention for his
nominati0n.)

and he believed me the most available
man, he would continue to urge nv
nomination if / was willing that he
should do so.
I replied that I appreciated his
support and would not, of course. for.
bid his speaking of me, but that was
not willing for him to suffer any per
sonal loss on account Of his devotion
to me.
had an engagement TO speak at the
Chautauqua in Crete, Nebraska, be-
tween the preliminary conference at
Chicago and the converting of the con-
vention. I was advertised for a de.
bate there with John Irish of Iowa.
one of the prominent advocates Of the
gold standard. i went from Chicago
to Nebraska, to fill this engagement,
and then returned with the Nebraska
delegation.
"THE CROSS OF GOLD"
In the debate with Irish I used the
sentence with which I closed my Chi
cago convention speech, the sentence
which refers to "the cross of gold and
the crown of thorns."
/ had used it few times before
that time, recognizing the fitness for
the conclusion of climax, and had
laid it away for a proper occasion.
At the preliminary conference ]
had in mind the possibility of being
chairman of the committee on resolu
tons, but found that Senator Jones
of Arkansas, the chairman of the BIZ
Metallic League, was candidate for
the position, and was not willing to
be proposed in opposition to him, so
that matter was dropped.
Some of my friends there spoke Of
me for temporary chairman Of the con-
vention, but this position, as / have
said, went to Senator Daniels and
very wise selection it was.

BRYAN WRITES SPEECH.

Then there was some talk of me for
permanent chairman, and this seemed
a possibility when 1 made the brief
trip to Nebraska. On the train L
made some preparations in anticipa-
ton of an opportunity to speak at the
convention, although there was no GER
tainty Us to this opportunity coming
to me. While 1 spent all my spare
time in arranging the arguments for
any speech that i might deliver at the
convention, / prepared only one new
argument. and that 1 have always re-
garded as the most important argu-
ment presented, although it has never
received great deal of attention from
those who have commented upon the
speech.
The passage was intended for dou-
BILE purpose first, to awaken small
business men to an appreciation of
their Importance, and, second, to re-
buke the gold advocates who were con-
tinually talking about business men,
but who regarded these engaged in
business as the only business men to
be considered.

John F. Johnson, a farmer residing

one better. This egg was also laid
by White Leghorn hen, not quite
ten months old, and its exact meas
urement was found to be 81 by

larger than the Pound egg. It's
weight is a trifle better than three

it has one or more eggs or not.

It's Plum Blossoms.

'Tisn't robins nor crows;
nor angle worms nor snakes
just plain plum trees in full
bloom in the yard of w. J.
Walsh on Main street, Eagle
River. Yesterday D. c. Lake
brought in a bunch of
ranch es which he had
stripped from one of the plum
trees in the Walsh yard, and
the evidence that they were
in full bloom is not deniable.
This for March 23rd in
Northern Wisconsin, is some
thing just out Of the ordinary.
Not one of the Walsh plum
trees were in full blossom,
but dozen Of 'em. Help
yourself to the facts and if
skeptical, amble down toward
the court house and see for
yourself.
Robins, crows and whatnots
are old stuff; but we have the
bulge on the other fellow
with plum blossoms.

LOST HOUSE AND GOODS
Deerskin Farmer Loses All
By Fire Last Tuesday
When Home Was Burned.

John Valeria, a farmer living on
a farm in the Deerskin district
some ten miles northeast of Eagle
River, suffered by fire the loss of
his home and all the contents some
time during the day last week
Tuesday. The fire was not discov-
cred until it practically covered the
entire interior of the building and
nothing could be saved.
There being no near neighbors
the family could not cope with the
fire and carried only the clothing
on their bodies, which leaves them
in Strengthened circumstances.
Temporary residence quarters we're
obtained in the Solomon farm
home, which was vacant at the
time, and supplies and clothing and
household goods are being donated
this week to the stricken family.

UP TO VILLAGE BOARD
Whether Eagle Rivers Main
Business Blocks Will Re-
main Doggy is the Cues
ton Up Now.

Businessmen who own property
on Wall street have petitioned the
village board to proceed at once to
regrade, rebuild and place in
citifed condition that portion OF
Wall street lying between Railroad
and Main streets and Main and
First streets. The petition calls
for immediate action and work IS
asked to start as soon as the frost
is out of the ground. This is sup
posed to be the forerunner OF bet
ter streets for Eagle River; all that
is now necessary is start toward
improvements and the improve
ments will come.
There is not a village in the
state, bar none, that can show as
disreputable streets as Eagle River.
This is awful" to say, but truth IS
better than lying out of something
all of the time. If it is a question
of money; there are two ways out
of the dilemma: strain the village
treasury or swipe it. And it APP
pears to us that there will be no
need of stealing in order to build
for better streets.
The property owners pay for the
improvements; all the village needs
do is raise funds for the cross-sec-
lions, at intersections of streets
1t isn't an impoAibility, but from
a lack of something. Now is the
time to find out just what that
lack" is.

HELPED TO CELEBRATE
Sayner Shows Tribute to
Lightweight Year Old Cit
izen on St. Patrick's Day.

Sayner people have one asset
they are proud of and fail not to
exploit it once each year regularly,
and at that it falls upon St. Pat
rick's Day, March 18th. This makes
it known event and cannot be
forgotten.
On March 18th each year Grand
pa" Wright of that village has a
birthday. This month he passed
the 88th milestone and from re-
ports from that section of the lake
region he was as "skittish as a
coli" the day of the celebration.
Mr.. Wright is the father of Mrs.
Fred Meloy and has been with the
Meloy family for several years.
Most of his summer days are spent
fishing, and he is some fisherman
for he rarely fails in coming in
with a catch of real game fish and
they are not minnows either. Last
year he held the record in that sec
ton of the lake region for big wall
eyes and this year he will go after
record muskies-seems to think
that the average angler has not the
real know-how in musky angling,
and at that might not be wrong
Anyhow he will make try after
the big-uns.
Before coming up to the North
Woods, Mr.. Wright was tiller of
the soil; he held homestead fol-
over half century, and only gave
up active work ON his home farm
after the death of his wife; then
he began making his home with
the Meloys. This year at the party
he was the recipient of three mann
moth birthday cakes-more than
the average blushing bride receives
when she becomes a matron. Leave
it to Grandpa" Wright to get into
the good graces Of his neighbors
over Plum lake way. Being hale
and hearty as he now is, there is
no reason why he cannot celebrate
his Tooth anniversary in this sec
ton where health and longevity is
an assurance.

DIED FROM THE SHOCK
Lad Injured By Revolver
Shot, Died From Wound
Twenty-four Hours Later.

Billy, the twelve year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hanson of Clare
lake, town of State Line, died from
a revolver wound Wednesday after
noon of last week, after having
suffered for a twenty-four hour
period. The remains were brought
to Eagle River Wednesday night
and interment made in the local
cemetery Saturday forenoon. A
number of community friends of
the little lad and of the family
came down from Land O Lakes and
Conover on the forenoon train
with the parents to attend the
services and burial.
AS stated last week, the lad
while playing at being cowboy, Sc
cured an old revolver from a
drawer, and in attempting to push
back the hammer, holding the
muzzle toward his body while
doing so, the gun was discharged.
The bullet entered the left breast
just under the heart, catching the
upper portion of the left lung.
While the wound was a serious one,
it was thought that the lad would
overcome the effects of the shock
and be able to be moved Thursday
morning to the hospital, but a
weakened heart took him very sud-
den.
Short services were held from the
undertaking parlors Saturday at
ten o'clock by Rev. Skidmore. Wal
ter j. Mattison of Milwaukee and
Mrs. John Hanson Of Racine,
aunt and uncle to the lad, attended
the burial services, arriving at the
home Thursday evening. The Han
son family have resid ed on Glare
lake, some nine miles mort h.
west of Conover, for the past half
dozen years, Billy at one time be-
ing a student in the State Line
schools and this year going to the
Tamarack district school. He was
a very bright lad and will be
missed among his playmates of
that district.

New Place for Still.

The neatest cache for liquor that
prohibition officers have discovered
was ferreted out in Beloit when
officers found 15-gallon metal
tank imbedded in the partition of
residence house. 1t was fitted
with spigot which was cleverly
concealed by the wainscoting. The
inlet pipe was found to lead out
through the stovepipe. Several days
previous to the discovery operatives
raided the place and the occupants
left. A later raid revealed the hid
ing place of the fount of joy.
