One Among Millions.

He began just the same everybody else did, by
learning how to draw. But that's not the secret
of his success; he made specially Of drawing
circles he has been drawing them all his life, and
practice makes perfect. Give any woman low
and arrow, give a man q loaded revolver and she
or he may sometimes hit tie target AMI possibly
the center, but how many hundred times will they
miss the mark? This frequent failure, not only in
target practice, but in everything else, is due to
the fact that not one person in n Thousand makes
a life speciality of one thin:-the thing he can
do best-and keeps right on making a speciality of
1t until he becomes perfect.

There is woman drcssinaker in Paris who foI
thirty years has been voted the world Not
once in hundred times does she fail to gre a
perfect fit, yet this same woman made silk night

wasn't a case Of not knowing how, for she had
learned how to make clothes just she had learn
ed how to draw yet try as she would, she couldn't
even make a night shirt for her husband that
would fit, any more than she could draw circle

LONDON, Dec. 16.-The Paris
correspondent OF the Pail Mail
Gazette, telegrsphs that he is in
the position to state that M. Faure,
president of the French republic,
will resign before March next. He

"Hundreds OF newspapers daily ex-
press their disgust at the cam

there is not an article amongst
them which does not distil the
venom OF calumny." The Pail
Mall Gazette intimates the

1the Elysee Palace expended upon
the press was not wisely dis

troller Of the currency, as was the
case prior to the passage Of the
act OF June 20, 1874, or, If this is
not considered expedient, and the
present system of currency re-
demption by the treasury is con-
tinued, the secretary should be at
a power after a future date to be
fixed in law, to require the banks
to keep their five per cent redemp-
ton fund in gold coin and deposit
gold coin for the withdrawal of
bonds whenever circulation is to be
permanently surrendered or re-
duced."
The secretary also favors the
passage Of a law allowing national
banks to establish branches in
small towns with view to bring
ing them closer to the people in
parts Of the country remote from
large towns and cities by which
their usefulness would be greatly
enhanced. The secretary In con-
GLIDING his report says that it Is
not probable that any plan for the
permanet retirement Of United
States notes and treasury notes.
will be adopted that will not re-
quire considerable time for its csm-
plete execution and he therefore
urges upon congress the propTety
Of prohibiting any future issues of
such notes or national bank notes
Of less denomination than ten dol
lars, thus making room in the cir
culation for silver coins and silver
certificates of small denominations.
This, he says, would Increase their
use among the people and prevent
their frequent return to, and &C.
cumulation in the treasury.

piled in section B., of the criminal
court, to have the date fixed for
the trial Of the councilman, which
had been set for the 18th of this

cided on yet. The reason on which
the application was based was
that Messrs. Evans and Dunn, and
Captain Henriques, Of counsel for
Callahan are delegates to the
Shreveport convention, and had
made their arrangements to go
there before the case had been
fixed,

THE LIBRARY INCORPORATED.
The Aims and Objects of the Association
Set Forth

The kenosha Public Library is
the name OF the new corporation which
this morning made its bow TO the Ke-
nosha public, and which will hereafter
bid for the pubic's favor The arti-
cles Of incorporation were signed by
the organization committee which was
appointed at the mass meeting called
early in November for the purpose of
taking the matter OF a public library
under discussion, and the original ar
tlcles have been placed on file at the,
register Of deeds office and a copy sent
to the secretary Of state at Madison.
These acts complete the incorporation,
The articles of incorporation state
that The kenosha Public library is or
ganized under chapter So OF the re-
vised statutes OF the state Of Wisconsin
of 1878, and the business and purpose
of the corporation are declared to be
the establishment and maintenance Of
q lyceum, library and gymnasium.
The corporation has no capital stock.
The officers provided for are presi-
dent. It vice president, Il secretary and
a treasurer, with board of nine di-
rectors divided into three equal parts
alter the usual form of similar corpora
tons
One of the articles states that any
person Of good repute i'll the county of
Kenosha may JON the library member
ship upon the payment of the annual
dues Of 50 and the signing of the con-
stituton and bylaws. This corpo-
ration is organized exclusively for
benevolent and reformatory purposes,
and no dividends or pecuniary profits
shall eyer be made or declared by the
corporation to it's MEMBERS" states
another Of the articles.
The first meeting Of the association
is set for the Grant house parlors Mon
day evening, Jan. 6. This was lald off
to this date for the reason that two
weeks notice must be given of the
meeting. It can not be held in less
time.
1t was deemed advisable to include
in the article which stated the object
Of the association the words lyceum
and gymnasium, for the reason that at
some time the corporation may desire
to go into these things. They are not
the first consideration, however.

WAS AN AWFUL STORM.
What Is to BE Expected in the Next
Twenty-four Hours.


Twenty-four Hours.
Water enough fell between the time
the storm started Tuesday and this
morning to float q fleet of Noah's arks.
In going through Main street Thurs
day evening one needed nothing short
of hip boots and diving suits. When
off Main street the navigator Of the
streets was wise if he used a raft. Such
deluge of rain has not visited Keno
sha at this time Of year in many years.
If, as would have been usual in other
years, it had been a snow storm it
would have been somewhat difficult to
have found the houses and barns this
morning, and yet the weather clerk
says we have not reached the end. He
says we are to get another twelve
hours of it at least and possibly TWEEN
ty-four. It is all to be doWnpour.
This is not very pleasant to contem-
plate at this season of the year, but
there is nothing left for us but TO grin.
and bear it. Up to this morning there
is o registered rainfall of five inches re-.
corded, more than has ever been re-
corded before for the month of Deem
Der since the weather bureau was es-
tablished. The only consolation which
is anywhere in sight is that it is posi-
bic that by midnight tonight it may
turn to snow. If it does we may look
for another siege of ICY sidewalks and
dangerous streets owing to the always
inadequate cleaning of the sidewalks.
A snow storm on top of this rain would
leave just about the condition we have
Just passed through heavy snow on
top of an icy bottom. The heavy top
will be pushed off again in many in
stances and the ice left to menace life
and limb. There may not be an over
whelming amount of consolation in the
consequences which appear within
view, but such seems to be the newt
able so far as Kenosha is concerned.
The opportunity will be opened again
for Street Supervisor Boyle to make
another batch of arrests and run up
against that reasonable" sidewalk
cleaning ordinance, but that does not
seem to offer any very adequate relief
to that part of suffering humanity
which must use the sidewalks, for
" reasonably" clean sidewalk may i'm
ply an exceedingly dangerous one in
Kenosha. But then, we must grin and
bear it.
