sult of the election means, without
doubt, the endorsement of the ad
raiuistration in this policy.

Perhaps the lumber trade is one of
the best indications of the condition

their premises. From all parts of
the country come evidences of exten
sive building the past season. The

ever before in any one season, and,
wages have been higher than two
two years ago.

Th? talk of the city is the election of John
I. on the Democratic ticket as governor of
the .state by a majority of twenty thon-amt
over the Republican nominee, Eustis. Lind is
not really a Democrat but a silver Republican.
The rest of the state ticket elected is all Re

betrayed the temperance people by not en
forcing the laws, and that city rt pudiated liim

patronage is at his cogi land.

As an attractive retreat on a warm
Sunday or as a place for an Autumn
stroll Wisconsin boasts oi or possesses
nothing finer. Irving depicted no
nook of nature more beautiful. Wide
spreading elms and immense moss
covered basswoods abound over the
entire area. The writer, has often
visited Chicago’s famed Lincoln and
Washington Parks and you may well
believe with him that with a little
renovating this production of nature
could be made to far surpass either
of them.
Years of labor in those two conven
tionalities of nature will not produce
what v.e are about to lose and that
irretrievably. There is no grove re
maining that it would be feasible for
the County to possess. This grove is
contiguous to the Poor farm and
could readily be incorporated with it
under one board and be improved by
the one management.
The educational and moral influ
ence would be unique and inestimable.
Bryant adds—
“To him xvho in the love of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she
(speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
she lias a voice of gladness, and a smile
Anri eloquetiee of beauty, and she glides
Into hi* darker musings witli a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness ere lie is aware.”
We believe that public sentiment in
the county is strong enough to war
rant the purchase of the property
and would assist by private sub
scription and by a fund raised
through public entertainment. The
expense is not a great one and would
be borne by many. We would like to
have every paper in the county voice
its opinion on tiie subject and if
favorable help the cause along.

The Story of Mr. Longfellow. g
On August 16th of this year, a man walked into the store of a Merchant Lj
n Pierre, state of Minnesota, and said: 'I want a suit of clothes.” He <#3
I was a raw-boned individual, some six feet, five inches in height, stooped
somewhat, and possessed a right shoulder that was much higher than the * H
left. Nature had also endowed him with legs that were slightly bowed- [4 8
We shall know this gentleman as Mr. Longfellow. It took the merchant V s " I
a very little while to ascertain that he could not possibly fit this man from I
his stock, so he turned to his old- time friend, the sample line of America’s fgSgJay §
Leading Tailors, and said, "Let me make you a suit of clothes to I
order. Mr. Longfellow replied that he must have the suit within two L
days, and he did not think it possible to have one made in that I
Said Mr. Merchant, “I guarantee to have the suit here on the evening
of the day after tomorrow.” The price being very reasonable for a E
made-to-order suit, the bargain was soon consummated. Mr.
chant measured Mr. Longfellow in short order.
The next scene occurs at a telephone toll station in Pierre. Mr.
Merchant is at the long distance instrument telephoning to No. 305 a Main, EeSSIUh
Chicago. ssß miles distant. He is reciting to the operator in Strauss Bros.'
establishment the exact measurements of Mr. Longfellow—also is telling
of ail the peculiarities of Mr. Longfellow's form. Just one hour later an
automatic form is being erected that is an exact duplicate of Mr. Longfel
low. It also has Mr. Longfellow's bowed legs and his stooping and irregu
lar shoulders. A competent cutter is "trying on" basted garments on this
inanimate form. This was all made possible by the use of the famous
Bourgeous "try on" fitting system, which makes perfect-fitting tailoring a
surety every time. At 4P. M. the next day, Longfellow's clothes had been
completely and carefully tailored by skillful custom workmen, 'and at >
o'clock they were in the hands of the Express Co. consigned to Pierre.
Exactly cn the second evening after the beginning of our story,
Longfellow was proudly wearing what he claimed 'obe the best fitting suit
of clothes, for the least money, he had ever worn. This feat can be
plished by only one concern m the United States, Messrs. STRAUSS BROS ■
