Observations. “I guess,” said the Yankee, who had been asked to admire an echo, I” guea? you don’t know anything about echoes in this country. Why, at my country place up in the Rocky mountains it takes eight hours to hear the echo ot your voice. When I go to bed I put my head out of the window and snout “Time to get up!” and the echo wakes me up in the morning.” If you have enemies go straight on and dont' mind them. If they get in your way walk aronud them regardless of their spite. A man who has no enemies is seldom good for anything; he is made of that kind of material which is so easily worked that every one has a hand in it. A sterling character is one of those who thinks for himself and speaks what he thinks; he is always sure to have enemies. They are as necessary to him as tresh air. They keep him alive and active. The scholarly William E. Hyerly, professor of mathematics at Harvard, was once asked by a student how to develop a retentive memory. The professor answered that ordinary mental exercise was sutlicient to secure a good memory, whereat the student asked if he might test the mental cap?city of his instructor. Prof. Byerl/ agreed, and the student asked him to listen to and remember several varied items tor a test. He began: “One quart of whiskey." “Urn!” said the professor. “Six pounds of sugar, a pint of s >ur milk, three onions, half a gallon of molasses, and two raw eggs.” “Um!” asid the professor. “Two green apples, twenty-six peanuts, one and a halt cucumbers, and four minee pies.” “Um!” said the professor. “A package of starch, sixty-seven cakes of yeast, and the skins of seven bananas. Got that down?” “Yes,” answered Dr. Byerly. “How does it taste?” asked the student. Farmington. Farmington, Wis., July 14, 1908 (Special to the Leader)—Mrs. Chas.

BATTING AVERAGES OF BASEBALL TEAM ALSO FIELDING AVERAGES FOR THE SEASON. Watertown Has Good Percentage for an Amateur Team With All Home Players—Ruedig Heads Batting List With 400 Per Cent— Kronitz Is Second. Below are given the batting and fielding averages of the players of the Watertown city team figuring from the beginning of the season until last Sunday. Considering Watertown as an amateur team with all home play ers, it had an excellent percentage in batting and fielding which would un doubtedly nut some ot the semi-pro fessional nines in the shade. Ruedig heads the batting list with 400 per cent, having been 55 times up to bat. Kronitz follows with 296 per cent. “Pete” has the honor of being credited with the most runs made during the games played so far, namely sixteen. in the fielding percentage the teams record also shows splendidly. Hahn is on top here with a perfect percent age 100. Kronitz again holds second with Schultz next. Folllowing are the standings: BATTING AB R H PER.

The wort: on the line of the incer urban in the city especially on Main street, has progressed fully as fast as could be expected considering the na ture of the work, the removing of the brick pavement and the concrete foun dation upon which it was placed, which has to be removed with wedge and pick, in order to make a road bed for the iuterurban track, which is laid upon ties elevated above the ground in the road bed at least six inches ar.d then filled with concrete up to base of the rails and the brick placed between the rails and covered with cement. Also the sides of the rails where the brick have been re placed and then covered with a coating j£ fine sand, thus filling up ail ot the openings between the brick and th* rails. The writer is not a competent judge of such work, but it certainly looks substantial and will not deface the street nor interfere with travel. Should the work continue to progress us rapidly as prevails at the present, there is no doubt but that cars will be running into and through the city long before the time required by the terras of the franchise to the company. Work In Pngress. The work of remodeling the Strauss & Sette building at the southwest corner of Main and Second streets is well under way and will be pushed as rapidly as possible so that it can be occupied early in the fall.

ALLEYS WILL SOON BUM NECESSITY Now is the Time to Take the Initiative in the Matter. A few days since, an article ap peared in the columns of The Leader in which attention was called to ihe fact, that conditions were changing in the city and that it would be abso lutely necessary to have alleys in the rear of lots facing on the business streets, especially on Main street. Heretofore, it has been the practice to receive goods at the front doors, but when the internrban shall be in operation that will be quite impossible for want of street room for the deliv ery teams, and the danger of horses becoming frightened. Then the fact must be recognized, that Watertown is no longer an overgrown village but a city, and must confront to city ways and practices. Now is the time to take the imtiavtive in securing alleys, as the expenses will be small, each owner of a lot abutting on Main street granting an easement for the purposes of an alley, thus each receiving and benefitting others.
