There came to a man who has had a
success in literature which we should
envy did we not all agree he deserves it,
a lady who was neither young nor fair,
but who had the assurance of youth in
combination with the obstinacy of ad-
yancing years.
81 have decided" she said to him,
that l must earn my living by writing
poems. | sent a poem to the Blank
Magazine, and they returned it with a
printed slip. Now, l want you to write
to the editor, and tell him that he made
a mistake"
1t naturally seemed to the author that
he had to deal with a humorist or a mad
woman; but the lady was certainly in
earnest and apparently ane BE en-
deayored to show her that it was not his
business to interfere with the decisions
Of the editors of magazines, who might
be supposed to know their own business.
The lady insisted, however, and in the
end he was forced to decline point blank
to do what she asked. Thereupon she
turned upon him and declared that he
was one of those who endeavor to keep
Others out in order that they may have
the field to themselves, and who are

heard.
sit is all a ring" she declared with
vehemence. 81 have been told so be-
fore, and now l am sure Of it. l can't
make you do justice to me, but / can
show you up"
Her method of showing him up" has
been to send letters of bitter i~nvective to
the papers, one of which fell into my
hands. OF curse nobody would print
them, but she perseveres, and in addition
to this she sends to the luckless author,
whose crime is that he did not make the
editor of the Blank Magazine print the
rhymes Of an unknown woman, a letter
once a week. OF course he burns them
unopened, and it is not easy to see what
satisfaction it can be to the woman to
keep on with this sort of thing, but the
TACT remains that she does. The story is
not of profound Importance, but it throws
a curious bit of a side light upon the life
of the successful author of today.-Arlo
Bates in Book Buyer.

His Eleventh Anniversary.

Sunday was the eleventh anniversary
of the coming here Of Rev. Father Cleary.
The gentleman made few remarks to his
congregation concerning the size and pro-
gress Of the church since his coming, on
that day When he came here he took
charge Of the old ST. Marks church at
the corner of Wisconsin and Ann streets.
This church was completed in 1915 and
was the first brick Catholic church erect
ed in the state. It was for many years
considered the handsomest church that
existed in the commonwealth. The peo-
pie here took much pride in erecting ST..
Marks for they were making an effort to
get the bishop to come here instead OF
Milwaukee, where common frame edi-
fee was the place of worship. In this
they were unsuccessful.
When Father Cleary came here in 1880,
he took charge of the old church with a
membership of 1000 in round figures.
In 1882 and '83 a fine $685. 900 brick
==hurch was erected at the corner Of Con-
gress and Wisconsin Streets 1t is most
beautiful structure and reflects very much
credit upon those Immediately connected
in it's erection. The next step was to
erect a pastoral edifce, on the site OF the
old church This makes most beautiful
home for it's devout occupant; its well
kept lawn and flower beds, its comforta-
bly, furnished rooms and everything, be-
speaking progress and prosperity for the
church. The next step was the building
and establishing Of the sisters convent in
1889 and the last has been the commence
ment Of the beautiful new school build
ing. The progress Of the church speaks
very much for the ability and popularity
of its pastor. The membership of the
church is now 1900 and is growing rapid
Iv. The TELEGRAPH-CoU man
called upon Father Cleary at the parson-
age and obtained much information re-
garding the church affairs in this state
from an early day until now.

Mat. Brusch, of the town of Somers,
was in town on Saturday. He says that
a few days before some horse jockeys
came to his house from the north going
south. They challenged him to swap
horses. They had about 80 horses with
them That he told them his team was
kind and any child could drive them, and
that he wanted one equally as kind and
gentle, and that he would take the horses
on trial, and if they suited, all right
While looking over the drove the fellows
took Brusch's horses and left He fol-
lowed and caught them at Butcher
Franks slaughter-house on the Burling-
ton road and brought the horses and the
man to the county Jail. The next morn
ing he felt more generous and let the
thieves go if they would pay all expenses,
which of course they did. These fellows
were substantially horse thieves, and but
for the generosity of Mr.. Brusch, they
would not have escaped SO easily.

Encourage the BOYS.

A few years ago Kenosha had what
might be termed f1rst-class base ball
club The boys practiced and took an
interest in the game and the citizens were
equally enthusiastic. Many were the
scalps that dangled from the belt of the
Kenosha management. But the sun be-
gan sinking and darkness dawned on base
ball circles. One by one they dropped
out of the club. The people then lost in
terest in the game and the sport died a
natural death Time and again the few
remaining enthusiasts applied the battery
to the mummy and succeeded in raising
it to a sitting posture, when life would
again fade away. Each defeat in their
set purpose discouraged the boys more
and we are not surprised that they were
conquered. But the national game has
had an injection Of Brown-Sequard elixir
of life and the boys are steadily marching
up to victory A new babe has been born
and it has already grown to strong,
lusty youth. From now on Kenosha
takes a front seat in Wisconsin amateur
base ball circles and this day we shy our
castor into the ring. Let us hear from

Base Ball.

day, would tend to cause man to stay in
out of the hot sun. But base ball is too

sembled at the Association Park to wit

from Brewerytown, better known as the
Milwaukee Nationals, by our own dear
pride. the Park Citys
The game was one sided and uninter-
esting from the start, the only thing Of
interest being a home run by Baldwin
the new short stop. The Kenosha boys
played a splendid game and with their
expressed intention of practicing daily,
She prospects are what are to be greatly
desired. The following out of such a
course will result in a first class amateur
base ball club, the mention Of whose
name will excite the enthusiasm of the
average Kenosha citizen. The following
is the score by innings.

And There Was Light.

At last Kenosha has taken that long
promised step toward civilization of en-
loving electric lights. The current was
turned on little before eight o'clock last
Saturday evening, and after a few splut-
ters the lamps shone brightly and for the
first time since the primeval floods sub
sided ages ago the historic site of this city
was illuminated with electricity The
plant works well and everything ran
smoothly. A little time will show where
some improvements can be made 1t
would seem that Main street ought to
have better treatment. An additional
light ought to be put in at the crossing of
Main and Park streets, and another at.the
south end Of Main street at the crossing
ton with Park Avenue. A light there
would illuminate in five different direc-
tions and that was one of the places
which the superintendent specially rec
commended. The lights might be better
distributed around the park and one put
at the crossing of Ann street and Prairie
Avenue The city has now 81 lights at a
cost of S82 each, but there are not enough
yet Kenosha covers considerable ground
and needs more than that number.
The commercial arc light will be start
ed very soon with quite number of
lamps. and as soon as the incandescent
lights are ready there will be large de-
mand for them. Last Saturday will be
red letter day in the history of Kenosha.

DEAR FRIENDs:-On the 10Th day Of
May, 1884, you unanimously invited me
to become your pastor. After thoughtful
consideration your hearty invitation was
accepted, and the duties Of the Office, to
which I had been chosen, We're entered
upon. During the more than seven years
in which we have labored together as
pastor and people, we have not been with
out the manifest and manifold tokens of
Gods favor and blessing The pillar Of
the fire and of the cloud have been be-
fore and behind us: while over us has
been the shekinah Of His presence.
What has been accomplished for Him
and for us has been the result OF our
united efforts and of His divine blessing
on our labors.
Believing that pastoral labors will be
blessed only while behind the pastor is
united church: and feeling that there is,
on the part Of some, desire for change
of pastors and WEAKNESS on the part Of
others, | now return to you the trust
which you then confded to me.
In order that this action may be orde''ly,
ask you to unite with ME in calling a
mutual counsel, to whom we nay refer
this matter for their advice and dgment.
wish this resignation to ia effect
and be in force on and after the first day
of November. 1891.
