The editors of Yo Hum6ugge have
given the best criticism of the production
Of ode Meisterschaft'' that has appeared.
The following is taken from the last
'sHum5ugge::" 1":~a.
Mark Twain little comedy in
three acts was given at Kimball
Opera House Thursday evening last
by the ladies of the Congregational
church. The piece, full of this au=
thor's peculiar humor, was well pre-
pared and admirably carried through
by the principals. Amateur theat-
ricals are often pronounced sue
cess from the blunders of the play
ers, but this entertainment was a
decided go from the thoroughly con
scientious preparation of the play
and the enthusiastic way in which
the clever participants threw them
selves into it's presentation.
There is certainly marked dram
attic ability among the amateurs of
Kenosha and they should not keep
their talents hidden. A histrionic
club ought to flourish in this soil
and prove profitable to the MEM
bers and a source of amusement and
instruction to the community.
1t is difficult enough to give an
English comedy acceptably, but
when one is chosen with the best
parts in German, the performers are
tremendously handicapped IL their
efforts to amuse The hearty rounds
of applause and laughter that greet
ed the well made points of Miss
Blinn, Miss Schroeder, Mr. Cass,-
Mr.. Engel, showed that they had
conquered and caught the audience.
Mrs. Cass, who took the part of
Gretchen, the maid servant, who.
brings the lovers together and looks.
after their progress in that terrible.
German language, was the only one
what had nothing but German lines.
She spoke and acted with great.
freedom and excellent effect. Mr.
Marsh made dignified and hand.
some papa for the two charming
daughters and the affectionate greet
ing with which they announced to.
him their wonderful progress in
love- making on the Meisterschaft
system was most touching. Miss.

What They Say of the Semi

The publisher of the KenoSha TELE-
GRAPH-CoURIER issued handsomely il

veteran Col M. Frank, editor Of the pa
per, and Mr.. i. A. Glass; the
publisher, makes the number one worth
fling away for future reference. Besides
portraits of the late c. t. Sholes, founder
of the paper, and Col. Frank, there are
views of Kenosha harbor, the parks, resi-
dences, churches, schools and factories of
the city, and pictures of both sides Of
Main street. in 1912, when the place was
known as Southport MihcGu7tee Sentinel
The semi-cehtennial edition of the

They Regard the African Natives with
Aversion If Not HATRED.
When changing teams at a veldt
shanty, two Kafirs suddenly came for

for which they rendered the required
sixteen sovereigns They were rather

indorsed the remonstrances of the other
European passengers against being

covered vehicle with these two natives,
who, flush with money from the mines,
chose to discard their ordinary means Of
transport-an OK wagon. But the six
teen sovereigns were too much for our
driver; the Kafirs were thrust in, the
team started off at its usual wild gallop,
and we could only solace ourselves with
invectives.
Bydegrees, however, the circum stance
assumed fresh complexion. 1t was
palpable that one of these natives was
miserably and gravely ill, possibly from
smallpox, perhaps from some brain
malady, probably from fever, and that
the sufferers object was to reach hi:

crouched up in torment in corner, mo.

his thirst out of a tin pannikin of water,
and with every evidence of pain. He
stirred not at our eating halts; he passed

THE VANISHED YEARS.

With their majestic sweep, and bear away
into the shoreless sea, where singers sing
Endless ebb.songs, the years that would moi

II could traverse them just as they were
Bathed in The light that never was on sea
Or shorei The blossom.g .garlanded pnrterre

BY meadows daisy pied in memory;
And through the silence the skylarlt's lays
Drift to my heart in strands of melody.

The smell OF lovely pink white blossoms floats
Through msts and distances athwart my
dreams,
Commingling with the orioles woosome notes I!
o happy harmonios that never let
The dulcet strains droop to the minor lSeyi
o happy harp that has no string at fret,
No plaintful strain in all its minstresyl
The years They dawned and waned with shift

And seem in retrospect o'ercanopicd
with skies forever blue and smiles divine
Beaming from Heaven with songs accom-

A vision fair of blissful Already,
Where in childish moods and maiden dreams
Found hidden lines, unwritten poetry!

The Secret of Happiness.

"Happiness comes most to people who
seek her least and think least about
her. 1t is not an object to be sought; it
is state to be induced. 1t must follow
and not lead. 1t must overtake you,
and not you overtake it," writes John
Burroughs in the Chautauquan. In the
course of his sound philosophizing he
says: "a contented mind is the first con-
dition of happiness, but what is the first
condition of contented mind? You
will be disappointed when ] tell you
what this all important thing is, it is so
common, so near at hand, and so many
people have so much of it and yet are
not happy. They have too much of it,
or else the kind that is not best suited
to them. What is the best thing for a
stream? 1t is to keep moving. If it
stops, it stagnates. So the best Thing
for man is that which keeps the cur
rents going, the physical, moral and in
tellectual currents Hence the secret
of happiness is-some ething to do; some
congenial work. Take away the occu-
patton of all men and what wretched
world 1t would be. Half of it would
| commit suicide in less than ten days"

Cold Rolling of Wire.

A new industry which promises to be-
come of vast Importance is the rolling
Of cold steel bars into wire. A few years
ago wire manufacturers and metallur-
gists would have said such thing was
an mpossibility; that cold rolling would
destroy the fiber of the steel and render
the wire so brittle as to be of no prac-
tical value. Experience, however, has
proved these prcconceived notions to be
Incorrect. The rolling of cold steel wire
is now accomplished with ease, and in
stead of the wire being weakened by
the process, practical tests have demon
strated that it's tensile strength is nearly
doubled. In other words, the tensile
strength OF hot-drawn steel wire is
5G. 400 pounds to the square inch, while
that of cold-rolled steel wire is 105. 800
pounds Chicago Economist

An Evidence OF Glacial Action In South
eastern Connecticut.
But it is in the region to the east and
west of the line of the Thames river,
and which it has been suggested may
have been the axis of the ancient gla-
cier, and not very far removed from this
line, that powders of extraordinary size
occur most numerously; and among them
is rock which until very recently has
been regarded as one of the largest, il
not the very largest, bowlder that has
thus far been recognized in this or any
other country. This rock-of coarse
crystalline granite-is situated in the
town of Montville, New London County,
about six miles south of Norwich, and
about mile west of the Montville Sta
ton on the Now London & Northern
Railroad; and, under the Indian name
Of "Sheegan," has almost from the first
settlement OF the country been recog-
nized as great natural curiosity. It's
position is on the edge of a gentle
mound or knoll, on the northeast slope
Of little valley; and its Dimensions,
according to recent measurements by
Prof. Crosby, of the Boston Society of
Natural History, are as follows; north
west side, forty-six feet; northeast, fifty
eight; southeast, forty-fve; southwest,
seventy. Maximum height, reckoning
from the lower or down-hill side to the
highest point on the upper side, approx
imately, sixty feet; approximate cubic
contents, seventy thousand cubic feet:
approximate weight, about six thou
and tons. The cavity or recess be-
meath the rock, which is said to have
been occupied, at the time of the first
settlement of the country, by Mohegan
Indian (from whom tho rock undoubted-
~ derived Its name) as dwelling place,
Is sufficiently capacious to admit OF
being used as place of shelter for the
sleds and other farm Implements of the
farmer proprietor. A rude ladder on
the southern side of the rock affords
facilities for reaching its top and OBJ

The Bismarck Tribune says that
the governor has filed with the secre.
tary of state three more vetoes. One
is on senate bill No. 237, providing
for a more economical management
of the North Dakota agricultural col.
lege, by naming the commissioner of
agriculture and labor, state auditor,
secretary of state and superintendent
of public instruction a board of man.

vetoes this bill for the same reasons
that he vetoed the Williams bill pro.
viding for a board for all public in.
stitutions. 81 hold" says the govern
or, "that the appointment of state
officers upon boards of control of
state institutions, is not a wise policy
and so far as I know is entirely with.
out precedent" Another veto was
that of senate bill No. POI, providing
for the publication of supreme court
reports. All the provisions of this
bill are covered in an act approved
March Goth, therefore this act would
be conflicting and superfuous. Sen
ate bill No. l76, amending section $40
Of the probate code is vetoed for the
reason that the repeating clause OF
the act repeats subdivision /, 2 and
of said section $40, which provides
the statutory condition of every such
bond and without which it would be
of no practical value.
