WEEKLY WATERTOWN LEADER. VOLUME XLIX Hoard’s oa’ryman Among agricultural journals there is one that every farmer keeping cows should not neglect to subscribe f >r. We refer to Hoard’s Dairyman. It is a journal that is broad in its seep*, being unilke any other agricultural journal in the thorough and practical mannner in which it deals with all farm problems that concern farmer keeping cows. This journal has a lively interest and practical knowledge of all things about the farm which plainly shows that its editors are daily in the farm atmosphere and con fronted with the same questions to solve in the practical handling of a farm "that are before every farmer handling j cows. From reading the paper we learn that it has its own dairy farm of 200 acres, that is stocked with ate-d of good dairy cows, and the whole management of this farm is directly under the editor ial supervision. This Keeps the edit ors in touch with farm conditions so that they Know the subjects that the farmer wants discuised and they know what they are talking about when they discuss them. In dozens of ways, Hoard’s Dairyman will appeal to one as coming closer to faim life and farm business than any other journal we have seen. It gets right up close to you and talks good hard farm sense, about the soils and crops and how best to handle them; talks about the rows and ♦heir breeding, and gives special attention to feeds and feeding. It does not have a prejudice for some one breed, but talks for the dairy cow wherever she is found; talks about the barn and its arrangement, and in fact gives a fund of good sound practical information on questions of interest to the farmer who keeps cows, few or many. Hoards’ Dairy man tells you things you want to know in a way that will interest you. We notice it ban no fashion plates, puzzles or cheap stories, it is all busi ness. It is published at Fort Atkin son, Wis., and has stood as the lead ing dairy authority of the country for many years. There are many in this community that will want to take this journal, so we have secured a club bing rate that enables us to offer a year's subscription to The Laader and Hoard Dairyman both for $2.00. Regular subscription price of Hoard’s Dairyman is SI.OO per year. If you desire a sample copy send for it.

The meeting at Janesville will be held under the auspices of the Methodist, Presbyterian, United Brethren, Lutheran, Episcopal, Bap tist and Congregational churches in that city. Tha subjects for consid eration will be as follows: “Our Share of the World.” “Our Available Resources.” “The Supreme Opportunity of the Hour. ” “An Unanswerable Missionary Testimony. ” “Missions, a Man’s Work.” “Something Doin’ in the World.” 2 “The Supreme Obligation of the Uhurch.” “Missions Under Fire—An Analysis of Current Criticism.” There will be many noted speakers from a distance to deliver addresses during the session, including Gov.

Nova Scotia, and others of prominence in this state. Kejoice and be Glad Nineteen hundred years ago, there was born in far-away Judea, a child whose life was to leave its impress for good upon the world for all time. He was born in a manger, there being no room fur him in the inn. and at his advent, an angel and a multitude of the heavenly host praised God, saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good will toward men.” The rich, proud and powerful were not among those who called upon the mother, to see the wonderful child, only a few poor shepherds. His advent was not heralded by the populace, only by those who were looking for his coming, as is the case today. In his wonderful ministry, he demons trated by love and His mighty works, that he was the best man that ever tarried in the flesh, his mission being to uplift man spiritually and show him bow to obtain a full and complete salvation. The world was not ready for him, and yet, bis name was to fill the whole earth—the savior of man. Next Friday, all over the civilized world, the anniversary of this coming will be observed with praise and joy ousness. He is the morning star of hope to all who are in the material environment, for there is no other name whereby we can be saved except —Christ Jesus. Postal Savings Bank There has been a demand upon the part of many well-meaning people for the enactment of a law by congress, establishing postal saving banks, throughout the country at every money order selling post-office. While the theory may be right in the abstract, there are many and vital objections to the bill drafted by the Postma-t r- General, which has already be°n intro duced in congress and liable to become a Jaw unless a strong protest goes up from the people. In the first place, the spirit of the propcsed law establishes a dangerous precedent in the centraliza tion of power in the general govern ment, especially the money power. Then it should not be forgotten, that such a law would interfere to a damag ing extent, with private business, in which millions of dollars are interested for the transaction of monetary affairs. Ths men engag*. and in legitimate banking enterprises are entitled to protection and it is decidedly wrong for the gov ernment to impair the business they have labored years to build up. All must admit, who have given the mat ter thought, that it is extremely dan gerous to concentrate too much power in a government, much more so in a republican form of government like our own. One of the piovisions of the pro posed law permits deposits to the ex tent of SIOOO of eaclyndividual, which escapes taxation and cannot be reached by any process cf law, to satisfy the debts or obligations of the depositor ; and a family uf several members conld have a large sum on deposit and laugh at tax gatherers and creditors. There is another feature of the pro posed law, which makes it obligatory upon the part of postmasters to de posit the money received on deoosit in national banks, who are to pay inter est at the rate of two end a half per cent, but before receiving the money, the bank must purchase and deposit at Washington, gilt edged bonds, a requirement witn which no national bank would comply, to receive the deposits. The law would take out of circulation in each locality, large sumo of money and would subserve no good end and should be defeated. Wa + ertjwn for Beggs Mayor Mulberger, in an interview at Milwaukee Sunday, spoke as fol lows : “Watertown is for John I. Beggs in his contest with other companies who are after franchises in the terri tory which Mr. Beggs is developing, ’’ said Mayor Arthur Mulberger in the Plankinton. “There is quite a fight on up in Dodge county between the Beggs company and others which are trying to get franchises to build lines through the county. In these fights, Watertown will certainly stand with Mr. Beggs. “The plans of the Begg’s company will be of great benefit to the city, as under them Watertown will be a junction point for the different lines which will eventually radiate from there es-t, west, north and south. The extension of the line from Ocono mowoc to Watertown has been of di rect benefit to our city. At present we have a sort of ‘near’ city service as the interurban car lays over there an hour and during that time it is run back and forth on the city tracks at regular intervals enabling our people during that time, to travel back and forth through the city. Thedifffcutlv with that arrangement is that people are not certain in regard to the time and they are not certain that when they wish to make a train on either road, fur instance, that they can do so. “However, I believe that in time, the company will find that it will pay to put on city service and I teel cer tain that when they do, it will be found to pay good returns. The pres ent city service is in the nature of an experiment but hardly shows what would be the returns for a steady ser vice on account of the difficulties met with. However, we art pleased to have the interurban service and hope the city will soon be the center for a great interurban service reaching a large part of the southern and eastern part of the state. Miss Smith Sings The fifth Luening concert was given Saturday evening at the old conserva tory hall in Milwaukee, at *hich only the works of native music writers were rendered by Eugene Luening and Miss Anna Smith of this city. There was a good sized audience, which in variably responded as each number was rendered. Mias Smith (with ac companiments played by Mr. Luening) rendered in a most effective and pleading manner: “Daphne’s Love Song” by Ronald, a Japanese-Ameri can lullaby cn the German theme, “Ruck nur zu, ruck nur zu,“ by D. Koven, “The Bird and Rose’’ by Horrecb and “ Dolly.’s Cradle Song ’ by Luening. Miss Smith has a sweet, sympathetic voice, which she keeps well within its register, and always leaves a good impression by her charming manner. Mrs. Robert McNaughton of Mil waukee, is visiting relatives here. SUCCESSOR. TO THE WATERTOWN REPUBLICAN. Johnson Creek.

For an Idle foment On leavng his study, whi'h is in the rear of the church, the pastor of a district in Rirm ngham, saw a little boy. a fr>end cf hie, talking to a st r anger. ‘‘What was he saying to you, Dick?” asked the divine, as he came up to the youngster. ‘‘He just wanted to know whether Dr. Blank was the preacher of this church. * ’ ‘‘And what did you tell him?” ‘‘l told him,” tesponded the lad, with dignity, ‘‘that you were the present incumbrance.” Officers have a right to ask ques tions in the performance of their duty, but there are occasions when it seems as if tffiy might curtail or forego the privilege. Not long ago. an Irishman whose hand had been badly mangled in an accident, entered the Boston city hospiral relief station in a great, hurry. He stepped up to the man in charge and inquired: ‘‘ls this the relief station, sor?” “Yea. What is your name?” ‘‘Patrick O’Connor, sor.” ‘‘Are you married?” questioned the officer. ‘‘Yis sor, but is this the relief sta tu n?” He was nursing his hand in agony. ‘‘Of course it is. How many child ren have you?” ‘‘Eight, sor. But is this the Re lief Station?” ‘‘Yes, it is,” replied '.he officer, a little angry at the man’s persistence. “Well.” said Patrick, ‘‘sure, an’ I was beginning to think that it might be the pumping station!” A trolley car had collider! with a heavily laden milk cart, and sent can after can of milk splashing into the street. Soon a crowd gathered, A man coming up had to stand on tiptue and keep dodging his head about to see past a stout lady in front of him. '‘Goodness!” he finally exclaimed, what an awful waste!” The stout lady turned and glared at him. ‘‘Mind your own business,” she snapped. The traveling men emerged from the little hotel in the center of the country town to find what appeared to be the entire population gathered in the main street, silently watching a funeral procession, as it wended its way slowly toward the cemetery upon the hill in the distance. All business was suspended, and even the children seemed deeply impress and with the solemnity of the occasion. The stranger in the town presently approached one of the townsmen and asked him with proper deference who was having so impressive a funeral. ‘‘They’re b irying Deacon Tight wad,” replied the citizen. ‘‘What was the complaint?” pur sued the stranger, who desired to show proper interest in the late resi dent ot the town who called for such unanimous tribute from the populace. ‘‘Oh! no complaint at all.” 1 re plied the citizen. ‘‘l guess every body’s satisfied. ” Owing to tne fact that t e car lur ched suddenly as he was passing along the aisle, says the Chicago Record- Herold, Bronson was deprived of his balance, with the result that in at tempting tu save himself from falling, he clutched one of the shoulders of a handsome woman who had succeeded in getting a seat. Moreover, he knocked her beautiful hat awry and with great difficulty avoided stepping on her toes. Ahe succeeded in re cover:ng his equilibrium, the lady turned toward him and said: “You contemptible pup! I wish you to understand that I am not a lamp-post or a piece of furniture to be clung to for support. You ought to ride in a cattle train. You have no right to crowd in where you can tear other people to pieces with your big awkward hands. You pitiful clown, you ought to be thrown out into the street. You are not fit to be allowed to go where you are likely to interiors with the comfort of re fined people. You unmannerly bumpkin you des rv. to be”— “Excuse me, madam,'’ Bronson managed to say, “you have maae a mistake ” “A mistake?” the lady demanded, her eyes dishing with wrath. “ What do you mean?” “1 am not your husband.” An Irish boy marries when he has a rid house, and an Irish girl just when she p eases. Sometimes she so pleases when yet her years are tew; at other times she is content to wait upon wisdom. In the latter case, of course, she makes a wise choice; but in the former almost always a lucky one —for Luck is the guardian angel of the Irish. •'You’re too yonng to marry yet, Mary,” the mother said, when Mary pleaded that she should grant Laur ence O’Mahoney a particular boon. “If you only have patience, mother, I’ll cure meself of that fault,” was Mary’s reply. “And she’s never been used to wor s, Laurence,” the mother said to the suitor, discouragingly. “If you only have patience, ma’am,” was Laurence’s reply to this. ‘‘l’ll cure her of that fault.” And he did, too. \'ow Are )e Brothers ‘‘You ncedrt’ try to convince me that the world is selfish to the core,” said a ccmmercia! traveler f o a New York Times man. ‘‘l have just come fn m a city in the middle West, where this happ rud: a teamster nearly 70 years old and fast losing his eyesiight had saved some $1,300 to huy him a cottage and. with his wife, took the money from (he bank to close the deal. Like must uneducated persons, he could not understand having a cbecl, but wanted the money itself to carry. In ’.he elevator he was robbed of the money. He did not make much out cry, neither did h;s wife, they were too stunned. At the police station, where they reported the Joss, every man on the force was touched at the | pathos of it. They impressed upon the police reporters the worth of the aged teamster and his anguish over the loss. The police reporter of one paper wrote the story just as it hap pened. in fifteen minutes after the noon edition of the paper was on the streets, the telephone on the city editor’s desk began to ring: ‘Of course, you’ll start a fund for that man, put me down for slo.’ Well, money poured in withont any begging for it, and in less than three weeks the amount was raised and the identi cal cottage bought. There was no ‘scheme’ or graft about this. The public heart just opened to the old man and his good wife. I saw them when they came to the newspaper office ot thank the paper, and it was better than a sermon. The grasp of the man’s hardened brown hand, though he could not speak, made you wish you could help someone every day. ’ ’ N. W. U. Notes The initial meeting of the Lyceum Literary society was held last Satur day evenrrg. when a good program, arranged by C. Lornfeld, was ren dered. P. Bcrgmann, president of the society, opened the meeting with an appropriate address, after which, musical (vocal and instrumental) and declamatory numbers were rendered amid applause. The program was as follows: PROGRAM Quartette “Sandmaennehen. ” Gerhard Pieper, Herbert Schaller, Paul Pieper, Winfried Schaller Address President of the Society Recitation Haynes Eulogy on South Carolina Henry Hiese Declamation “Des Lied von der Glocke” William Lutz Comical Selection “Der Zeit ungsmann und die Hausfrau” Adam Petermann Recitation The Admis sion of California Phillip Lehmann Oration Capital Punish ment in the United States Henry Koch Reading “Die Brille’’ Fred uoeper Declamation Power of Eloquence Victor Schroeder Piano Solo Mazurka Caprice Carl F.

Prof. Ernst left today for Beloit, where a conference of college presi dents of Wisconsin, is being held. Athletics will be one of the principal subjects to be taken into consideration. ’Thrashed** the Teacher One day quite recently a teacher in the school at Mayville, found it nece ssary to cuff an unruly lad in the school to make him behave. The boy went home and told hia father, who < pon meeting the teacher, proceeded to chastise him in a manner exceed ingly distasteful to the p dagegue, vho escaped from the ire of the fool ish parent without suffering a great harm. As the teacher did not ap prove of the playfulnessjof the father, he was about to invoke the law, lor redress, when the father came to his senses, made an apology and paid re asonable damages. When a father attacks a teacher for doing IPs duty, upon the unsupported statement of his boy, the “old man” needs the thrash ing more than the child just to teach him a merited lesson. Socrates was a very wise man. If be lived now, you would see him buy ing all his Roods of The Central Trad ing Cos. The publisher of The Leader would ask it as a special favor, that when they are trading with the local mer chants, that they would inform them that they saw their advertisements in The Leader—if such an advertisement appeared.
