BY THE WAY
Americans were fond of the
Tussaud wax works in London, re-
Gently destroyed by fire. The
collection contained models of
many famous characters in Eng

itor once said, to go into the great
hall was much like seeing an Eng
lish evening party. Besides the
figures priceless relics of Napoleon
were also consumed.
During the blaze fireman waded
through running rivers of flaming
wax, throwing eerie light over the
lifelike figures that stood in groups
about the great hall. Throughout
the night crowds cheered the fire.
men as they emerged with models
of various celebrities.
M. Tussaud declares that he saw
ed the molds from which many of
the famous figures were cast, but
the task of rebuilding the collec-
ton would take years and he is
doubtful whether it would repay
the effort.

This office has received a letter
from Rev. H. Fl. Savage, formerly
pastor of the Baraboo Baptist
church and now pastor OF the First
Baptist church at Pontiac, Michi
gan. In part he says:
"This church is the Oldest Bap-

than | had ever tackled before but
| have made up my mind to this
fact, that a man who can make good
as the pastor of church in Bara
boo, can make good as the pastor
of the most powerful church in the
world, while a man who can't make
coed at Baraboo is not fit to preach
to a little group of farmers out at
Podunk Hollow schoolhouse. The
reason is this, that wherever you

whether in Baraboo or Pontiac 'or
Cross Roads Corners, Missouri, and
the man or woman who has enough
grace, grit and gumpticn to make
a success of any business enter
prise in Baraboo, whether it is sell

would undoubtedly make a success
anywhere; while the man or wom-
an who is not willing to do his or
her best to be a success in Baraboo
will never find the goose that lays
the golden egg anywhere else"
