'Deap MQr, Boke;
Suit Is Dropped

When Charles Bretz was div
creed from his wife he disappeared
from his home in Sandusky, Ohio.
For years nothing was heard OF
him: his disappearance was COM
plete. After II calendars had
found their way to the trash heap
Bretz's sons, believing him dead,
brought suit to recover valuable
property.
The lawyer was giving the court
evidence that Bretz was dead when
the corpse" walked into the court
room and was able to prove his
identity. Of course the suit was
stopped for not even the best Phil
adelphia lawyer could have proved
Bretz dead with Bretz on hand rea-
dy to prove that the report was ex-
aggerated.
Bretz's sons went back to work.

Speaking of old houses in Bara-
boo, the Moves brick house at the
corner of First and Ash was built
in 1915 and 1850 while the house
occupied by Mrs. Burganah Jen-
nings, corner Ash and Second
was erected in 1850. Just what
house ii town is the oldest and
when erected would be interesting
to know. Aside from those in
Green Bay and Prairie du Chen
the Agency house and surgeons
quarters at Portage are among the
oldest in the state. The former
was erected about 1882 and the LAT.

THE JUMPING OFF PLACE

Writers are always saying there
is no aim in life.
1t is a weak, senseless oOserva-
ton. There is an aim in life,
written over everything in large
letters:
It is to be as comfortable, as
well behaved, as useful, as success
full as possible 1t is a waste of
time to say you should have been
born differently, and into a differ
ont world. You were not, so that's
the end that. Don't sit arcu9i
and grumble. Get busy at some
useful, practical thing, always cas-
lily within reach, and you will find
nore comfort in it than IN being
idle and silly.
And the jumping off place?
Well jump off. Everyone has
to do it; there is no remedy;
Jump off like a gentleman, and
leave something behind to be re-
membered pleasantly.
Your future? That has been TAX
en- care of, too, and millions and
millions have found it bearable.-

HIRING THE TEACHER

One of the tasks before the school
boards of Wisconsin is the hiring
of teachers. In discussing the en-
ployment of teachers in the rural
schools, Jennie S. owen of the Ell
Dorado (Kansah) Times, says:
"As far back as we can remem-
Der our dad was the senior mem
Der of the Wood Tick Hollow school
board and by reason of his senior
ity said the final word in the
hiring of the teachers For many
years it was our duty when shy
pretty, starched and be-ruffled
school ma'am came knocking tim
idly at our front door to escort
her to the field where father was
blowing corn, stacking wheat or
raking hay. We quaked in silent
trepidation as, barefooted, we pick
ed our way through the sand burr
patches and over the stubble fields
toward the autocrat of the school
board. Our heart went out in SYM
pathy to the scared little teachers
when wo sensed that he did not
approve of them. He did not often
err in judgment in his selection as
we recall the roll of those who
taught us our "A. B. C.'s and multi
plication tables and the. rest of
country school lore. There was
one, pretty Fanny Naill, who must
have been one CT the advance
guards of flapperdom. She had a
tousled head of yellow golden
curls, beaux galore, the Big Bows
numbered among them, and she
was known to declare a holiday
and send the children home when
the desire to attend a circus or
picnic overpowered her teaching
inclinations. She was paid the max
nificent salary of $3.50 a month,
and she was not rehired the second
term. Once we were partners in
crime with a little miss who really
was older than she looked. "He
never will hire me if he sees how
little ! am" she said fearfully as
we drove bumpily in her buggy
along the ends of the rows to
where father was blowing. Lets
drive up close to him so you won't
nave to get out of the buggy ana
he won't notice how short YOU
are, we suggested which we did.
She was hired and made an ex-
cellent teacher, but the little de-
ceit always pricked our conscience
a little until we grew older and
learned that Napolean who was
small of stature, would never get
off his horse when he wanted to
make a good impression

Mr.. Gemmill has followed direc-

the results have been highly sat

been too dry for tulips for they
naturally require considerable
moisture. Some of the growers in
town have been using water with
good results. In Holland where tu
lips grow to almost perfection
there is an abundance of rainfall
