A GOOD INVESTMENT.

Every owner of farm or homestead in
Kenosha County ought to own a share in
the Old Settlers Club. Every resident of
Kenosha County will be benefited by the
purposes and use Of the grounds at Pad
docks Lake. There are plenty of men in
the county rich enough to put their hands
in their pockets and donate to the public
the amount needed. but 1t will be far bet
ter to have the shares widely distributed
SO that large numbers will have the in
terest of ownership in the grounds
There is surely no owner of a farm but is
able to own one share in this property;
and this investment of five dollars will
return as much of good as any money in
vested for pure pleasure and enjoyment
WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING
When the grounds are enlarged to FIVE
acres and the building is up and in use,
how we shall all rejoice, Every body will
be glad Every one will wonder it was
not done long ago. And people will say

The Pioneers BuiIded Wisely.

The pioneers Of Kenosha County We're
noble men and women and builded wisely
and 1t may be truthfully be said Of them,
they buflded better than they knew, It
was wise thought for them to save lit
tie fragment of untamed nature, to rescue
a little spot from the pillow and the reaper
and hold 1t sacred for their reunions
their harvest home festivals, their annual
picnics and for like ennobling pleasures.
Ever since their organization they have
extended general invitation to gather
with them and enjoy day Of restful
pleasure on their grounds at Paddock S
Lake. It is not probable they had, in the
past, a just conception of the numbecs
that thronged their ground at the annual
picnic of 1890. when there were hundreds
upon hundreds Of horses and vehicles and
thousands of people, Old and young. But
the benevolence Of their plans is made
manifest by providing in their constitu-
ton that persons from 16 years of age
might buy shares and become full mem
bers Of their association: Persons Of this
youthful age were not pioneers of 1885 to
1910, and this provision for them shows
the old settlers plans reached out beyond
themselves to bless others.
BENEFIcENT FUTURE.
The last picnic Of the Old Settlers Club
demonstrated that their grounds are not
large enough. For several years some
build a shelter on their grounds. When
the grounds are enlarged and building
is erected the Old Settlers Club will full
filth prophecy of it's benefcence. Every
day school and every Sunday school and
all associations can, at will, all through
the season Of leaves and flowers, take a
day Of rest and pleasure at Paddock's
Lake. 1t is perhaps piece Of good for
tune that the building is yet in thefuture.
The last picnic proved that the building
must be large enough to shelter at least
two thousand people. 1t need not be or
namental and expensive, and it must be
large, substantial and well adapted to its
purpose.
A SMALL THING TO ASK
In 1885 fifty-six years ago, Kenosha
County contained 29, 900 acres Of unframed
wildness. 1t was lovely wilderness, the
rich lands were covered with luxuriant
grasses and carpeted with beautiful wild
flowers Wild fruits were abundant;
quail and prairie chicken and deer were
plenty All this wildness has been con-
quered by the irresistible march Of civili-
Zatlon. In its place we have now rich
farms, houses, barns and orchards, and
numberless docks and herds Is it too
much to ask that five acres of this great
domain be reserved, with as much Of It's
wildness and everlasting beauty as can be
saved 1t is a small thing to ask of the
wealth and thrift of kenosha County
with an assessed valuation running into
the millions of dollars, to invest a few
hundred dollars in building that is 10

Not Wiser Than His Father

One day the caliph Almansor, one
of the vainest of the Arabian mon
archs, was conversing familiarity with
the famous poet Fazelli, with whom
he delighted to talk when retired
from the cares of his empire.
"Thou thinkest," said he to Fazelli,
"that am not wiser than my father?
Why is it so? Doth not every sue
ceeding generation add to the wisdom
of that which preceded it?
"Dost thou think thyself wiser than
the prophet?" answered the poet,
bowling his head reverentially.
"Assuredly n t." answered the
caliph.
"Dost thou think myself wiser than
Solomon ?" asked the poet, bowling
still lower.
"Assuredly not" again answered
the caliph.
"Dost thou think thyself wiser
than Moses, who communed with
Allah himself?" third time asked
the poet, bowling to the ground.
AlmansCr was for moment
thoughtful, and bowed down his
head.
"Assuredly not" replied he at
length. II were fooiishly presumptu-
Gus to think So"
"Then, how" resumed Fazelli,
."canst thou prove that each succeed
ing generation is wiser than another
that is past?"
"The aggregate of knowledge is
certainly increased" replied the
caliph.
"True, o my King" replied Fazel-
Ii; "but knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom points out the road to hap
piness and virtue; knowledge is only
an acquaintance with a mass of facts,
which are not necessarily connected
with either wisdom, virtue or happi-
ness, the only objects worthy thep ur-
suit of wise man. The knowledge
of things has certainly increased, but,
o King, remember that wisdom is
always the same; as much so as the
great power by whom it is dispensed.
Thou mayst, perhaps, know more OF
the moon, the stars, the earth and the
sea than thy father; but of thy or
ganization, thy soul thy passions, APP
petites, the power to direct them, and
the Being who bestowed them upon
thee, thou knoweSt no more than the
meanest of thy fathers slaves"
"Thou sayest true" replied the
caliph, bowling his head reverently
"Allah teach me humility"
"Great King" said Fazelli, ala
ment not thine ignorance. Every
thing we cannot comprehend furnish
ishes proof of the existence of a Being
wiser than ourselves.

A Poser.

A calm, blue>eyed, self-composed
and self-possessed young lady, re-
ceived long call the other day from
a prying old spinster, who, after pro-
longing her stay beyond even her
own conception of the young lady's
endurance, came to the main ques-
ton which had brought her thither.
With the color rising to her face she
said,-
81 have been asked a good many
times if you are engaged to Doctor
c.. Now, if folks inquire again
whether you be or not, what shall
1 tell 'em think ?"
"Tell them," answered the young
lady, fixing her calm blue eyes In un-
blushing steadiness upon the iEquisi
tive features of her interrogation, "tell
them that you think you don't know,
and you are sure it is none of their
business"

He Got the JOB.

Farmer Crane, who lives over on
the town line, has some very unique
methods of examining the men who
apply to him from time to time for
work.
One evening a tall, big boned fell
low, in his shirt sleeves, asked Crane
If he had any work to do.
81 don't know" said the farmer.
"Can you tend horses ?"
eyes, indeedy. I've worked about
horses all my life"
"Come around here to the pump"
said crane, and he led the way. to a
common sucker rod pump near the
barn. Going inside he got a long,
narrow pitcher, and placed 1T under
the spout. "There," said he, pump
that pitcher full of water" The big
boned fellow complied, carefully
pumping the pitcher full without
spilling a single drop.
"That'll do" said Crane. go In
side and get ready for supper; I'll
give you job in the morning"
About week later the big boned
fellow asked Crane what pumping the
pitcher full of water had to do with
his getting job.
"Well, I'll just tell you. This
is mighty dry weather, and water is
getting scarce. You must have
thought that far, for you didn't spill
any water. If you hadn't pumped
hard the water would have been
spilled, and if you had pumped too
hard the water would have gone
over the pitcher. Now the way 1
argue is this If a fellow don't pump
hard enough he won't work hard
enough. If he pumps too hard
he'll work too hard for little while,
and don't want either kind to work
for me. You pumped exactly right,
and you got job.
