B. Hoppa and wife were Mosinee visitors Sunday, going up to view some of the wreckage that the recent flood deposited near there, among which was a residence, a two story saloon building that had been carried down from Rothschild, and lumber and logs by the thousand. The unfortunate experience which Wausau passed through last week goes to show that the most unexpected things can happen. The writer ventures to say that not many Wausau residents could ever imagine that conditions could so shape themselves that they could suffer so severely from high water. A.

Soik, who recently moved on his farm near this village, is now busy erecting a new barn and later will build a residence. This section of country never looked more prosperous, new buildings going up on all sides, and nine new silos are now under construction in this immediate locality. With crops of all kinds promising first- class, no wonder land values are raising and will continue to raise. One might find localities where some certain crops are as good as through this section, but it would be hard to find where every crop promises so bountifully. MLBEHAH.

The new saloon appears to be doing a fine business and has certainly made things lively around here. There were two fights last Sunday. We wonder if this Sunday sale of liquor is strictly lawful, and if not, whose business is it to look after the matter? On account of the high water our mail carrier was unable to make his usual trips last week, and those who deliver cream to the Knowlton creamery were also compelled to stay at home. This gave our housewives an opportunity to make butter in the good old fashioned way. Mr.

Gunderleski's aged father, who has been in feeble health for the past three years and whose mind is a blank, was lo'fit in the woods from Wednesday morning until Sunday noon. In order that the old man might get a little outdoor exercise, he was placed in care of a small boy, but the latter soon forgot his charge and went to play with During the lad's absence the aged citizen crept away towards the timber and although diligent search was made for him by members of the family, he could riot be found. Early Sunday morning the men of the neighborhood turned out and shortly before noon he was located near the banks of the creek, completely exhausted. His clothing was torn nearly to shreds, his shoes had been removed and he apparently had been chewing the insole of one of them. D.

Whitney and R. Sparhawk were the first to see him, but others soon arrived and the nearly starved man was carried home. Because of his poor physical condition, grave results are feared from his long exposure. Another aged man, Mr. Chapanoski, also spent a night last week without shelter in the woods.

While hunting cows he became lost but a searching party found him at daybreak. The Track of the Earth. If the sun and earth and the earth's orbit could be seen, then the track of the earth would be a spiral around that of the sun. Go take a broomstick, wind wire around It like thread on a spool, take out the stick and stretch the coil until the space between each turn is, say, one-third of an inch and make a hundred turns of the wire. Then this spiral or coil would represent the track of the earth through space during a hundred years.

The sun moves toward the star Vega at a speed of twelve miles per second and carries the earth, all the planets and their moons along.

The Sign. A famous craniologist while strolling leisurely through a churchyard found a gravedigger tossing up the earth in which there were two or three skulls. The craniologist took them up and, after considering one a little time, "Ah, this is the skull of a phi losopher!" "Very likely, your honor." replied the solemn gravedigger. "Sure.
