The Temple Of Honor Dramatic
Club presented the drama elbow for
Blow Wednesday evening of last week
to q small audience. The rain-storm
OF that day and evening kept many
away, who, doubtless, would have at
tended had the weather been fair. The
several characters in this rather diff
cult piece were very finely given, and
the efforts Of this club to furnish
amusement for our people are deserv-
ing of more encouragement than trav-
cling shows of doubtful moral reputa-
ton. We are informed that the dis
appointment in not having the music
promised. was one of the principal
drawbacks of the evening. There
ought to be amateur musicians enough
in Kenosha to form an orchestra in
connection with the dramatic club,
and render themselves independent of
professional musicians. The next play
to be given by this club is 'Kath-
leen Mavournaen.
The engine for digging the new Ar
tesian we'll has been placed, and the
work of boring will soon be commenced
The churn-drill will work night and
day, and the prospect is encouraging
for a supply of water in the near flu
ture.
The concert given at the Town Hall
Bristol, Tuesday evening Dec. I'd, was
very good, but the attendance W.

We noticed in attendance Mrs. Charles

Bristol, and number of others. Wei

HOME FORTY YEARS AGO.

1IoMA A Oh L EAnEo htTO.
The home of my childhood I call
home now, although over forty years
have passed since first / left the old
homestead, bidding parents and friends
farewell, to seek a home in the then
far West. Well do | remember how
anxious | We're, after arriving here to
hear from home that dear old spot,
and when letter was received the
memory Of home and Of loved ones
would choke me with emotion. When
a letter was delayed the exclamation
was, why do / not hear from home?
AS time has rolled on, have visited
that dear spot several times, the last
time how changed? My parents had
been laid in the family burying- ground,
the old farm and home had been sold ;
other unfamiliar faces occupied my
once happy home, the dearest spot on
earth, the place where I first saw the
light of day, Where I was taught
TO say my little prayer, Now | lay me
down to sleep where I first learned
my A B c., was a home for others
which caused tears unbidden to start.
| went over the farm, down the cart
|road into the wood lot, pastures and
meadows, where I used to fish in the
brook for the speckled trout. This had
also changed, the water was almost
dried up; the old mill below, that made
50 much lumber in my loyho0d days,
was still and gone to decay. I went in
the same path [ trod in my innocent
days to see the brick school house in
Little Best" where I first went to
school, which stands as Of yore, but
enlarged and repaired. The trees I'M
der which | made my playhOuses had
almost all been cut down; even the
stone wall had changed, the moss
now covers it. The pastures and lots
Iseemed much smaller, the hills were
more steep. Everything had changed.
In talking about this dear spot, say
home, and 1 always shall call it my
dear old home; dear by thousands OF
little remembrances. Who does not
think often of that dear home o. child

NOVEL TREATMENT OF GROUP

According to Les blondes, Dr.. Duro-
die has successfully treated case of
Group, in child years old, by scrap
ing the larynx. The method is to lit
troduce rapidly the left index finger
into the pharynx, SO as more surely to
reach the upper laryngeal opening;
then, with the right hand, piece of
curved Whalebone is introduced, hav-
Ing small piece of sponge fixed at the
end, soaked in tepid water. After
three or four movements up and down.
the instrument was quickly withdrawn,
this being done three different times at
each seance. The sponge was covered
each time With debris of false mem
branes. The instruemnt has reflex
as we'll as mechanical action causing
spasmodic movements, which provokes
the election Of the false membranes.
The child rapidly recovered.

Is our land to become a desert and 4
waste ? Is it not tending in that iii
rection? And has it not been so fol
these many years? These questions
must be answered in the affirmative
The next question to be solved, is
what has been the cause of the dry
seasons we are having and have had
for so many years? The answer is
plain, and unless d change is made oul
! beautiful west will become q Sahara
! When we look to the first settlement
, OF Wisconsin and Illinois we remem-
Der the many water reservoirs nature
had provided all over the prairies
There was rain in summer sufficient tC
keep these basins filled with water
the rivers and streams frequently over.
/ flowed their banks during the summer
the crops were not dried up for the
want Of rain; the spring and fall rains
came regularly; the eQuinoctial storm
never failed i'll the early years. The
winters also had their part of moisture
by SHOWS that covered the ground du-
ring the winter months. The rains
and SHOWS were sufficient to give mois-
ture for all crops and for all purposes
needed, no fear of drought was had
Now the seasons are very different
the fear Of dry seasons and short crops
are the topmost thought in the mind
OF the community. Our solution OF
the change is this: Farmers all over
the west have drained these reservoirs
the farms have been drained and I'M
i derdrained, the highways and railways
have large drains on either side carry
| ing off all water and the result is that
all water has been run off; none left
in these places designed by nature to
evaporate and fill the atmosphere with
moisture to come down again in rain
and dew. The result is of our own
doing, and we, as a community, have
made it ourselves by making these
drains. So natural question will come
up, can the water be restored? Our
theory is that it can in part by making
reservoirs in all low places where the
water can be held. All our farms
| SHOULD have more of these reservoirs
| than nature had formed, to secure Wa
ter sufficient for evaporation. We
/ hope that scientific men and all farmers
would look at this important matter
and see if our theory is not in the right
direction. Let our Agricultural Socie.
ties discuss the subject Investigation
in such important interests to the
whole community cannot fail to be of
great interest to us ALL We further
believe that more rain is needed than
was before all the prairies were broken
up. Since they were broken, the mois-
ture by rain and dew is absorbed in
larger quantities where the soil is pull.
verified and fine, the natural sod retain
ed more moisture than the tame grass

question Of sufficient water supply
should be discussed; it is of vital con-
sequence to the continued prosperity
Of our country. T.
