What Mr. Simmons Does.


Mr.. Simmons stated that he had
taken charge Of the financial part Of
the enterprise. He had agreed to build
a better plant than the one 1T Elgip,
and he had secured such concessions
from the railroad as We're thought nee
essary. Among these was a side track
to the proposed plant, transportation
of all the machinery and material up
here free, and an excursion train fcf
the free transportation OF MI the pres
ent employees Of the Sterling company
to Kenosha for a picnic after the clos
ing of the works in Chicago, sometime
in July. These had all been asked for
by the company and Mr.. Simmons took
the requests to President Marvin Hugh
lit, Of the Northwestern road, ard had
been granted all the requests.
He stated that Mr.. Balm had fur
nished the land required. The lard is
situated a little to the north Of the Chi
cago- Rockford Hosiery company's
plant The plant is to be finished by
Aug. !, so that the company can get
into it and proceed to manufacture BIZ
cycles. The building to be put up. he
specified, must be 500 feet long ly 100

be 100x70 feet, with Il 80 horse power

Which Finished the

T WILL EMPLOY 400 MEN

It has been many a long day since
Kenosha has had a meeting IN which SO
many of her business men we're inter
ested and in which SO much of vital i'm
portance to the interests of tile city was
considered and disposed Of to the entire
benefit of the whole city. The spirit OF
progress was the moving element, the
desire for better things was. the key
note.
The Importance of the meeting can
not be oVerestimated from any stand
point. Taken purely from the stand
point Of pecuniary benefit the outcome
of those deliberations must be Of ines
Unable value. Taken more from an
ethical standpoint, the manner and
spirit in which all came together for
the good Of the whole must inevitably
rebound to that broader citizenship,
whose basic principle is the trust and
mutual business confidence that moves
us ahead in civilization. Every man In
the meeting seemed determined to put
his shoulder to the wheel and give Ke
nosha a lift-a thing that no city has
been more in serious need of. The
meeting seemed to mark the point at
which personal self interest is hereafter
to be dropped in the broader interests
Of the whole city. Seltishness has too
long held a dictatorship over our af-
fairs. May we never get back into It's
| dominion.
The meeting Of tie Kenosha Busi-
ness Mems association was calletl to or

Preparations had been made fer a
larger meeting than usual and the pre-
cautions had not been made in vain.

Rare French Shooting.

An enthusiastic French marquis met a
friend in Paris and offered him few days
shooting on his estate. The invitation was
accepted, and the man set out the next day.
The journey was seven hours by railway,
but to true sportsman that was nothing.
The next morning the visitor was waited
upon by the marquis keeper, and the days
sport was mapped out.

"And after that?" said the visitor to

birds was not very exciting.

awhile on the open plain, where there will
be plenty of larks. Then will show you
some moor hens that l know of. Down

Senator Brice's First Fine Clothes.

Speaking of Cal Brices wedding recalls
the story | heard concerning him by one OF
his old schoolmates at a college fraternity
dinner here in Washington the other night.
When Brice went to school, he was very
poor, and he had barely enough to pay his
tuition and board. He could not indulge
in fine clothes. He was too honest to go in
debt, and without seeing some immediate
means of repayment he was too proud to
borrow. He had, however, good deal of
humor in his nature, and he was by no
means ayerse to practical joke at the ex-
pense of his friends.
While he was in the senior year both
himself and his roommate received an invi-
tation one day to attend the wedding of
friend. The couple to be married were
very popular, and it was known that the
wedding would be large and, for the
town, a fashionable one 1t was talked
about in the social circles of the college for
weeks beforehand, and Brice's roommate,
who was well to do, ordered new suit Of
clothes for the occasion. Brice looked over
the clothes with him and longed for a suit
himself but as he looked at his slender
pocketbook he gave up the idea with
sigh, and taking his nail brush scrubbed
the dirt out Of his old suit and prepared to
wear it.
Now, the clothes of his friend were to be
delivered the evening of the wedding. The
hour of the afternoon went slowly on, and
the suit did not arrive. AS it approached
the time for leaving Cal Brce said that he
would go down and see what was the mat
ter and would hurry up the tailor. His
friend said all right and sat and waited. In
the course of half an hour message came
saying that the clothes could hardly arrive
on time, and the boy, not to be late, put on
his old suit and went to the wedding.
He had just gotten himself into a good
place for watching the ceremony when, to
his surprise, Cal Brice entered, looking as
though he had jumped from bandbox He
was clad from crown to heel in his friends
new suit, and he was for that time at least
the best dressed of his fellows.-W Washing

A Very Strange Intercession.

In church where the prayers are made
at the discretion of the minister very
strange intercessions are sometimes pre-
scented. remember well ages since hear
ing old DR.. Muir of Glasgow, who was a
real though eccentric genius in his day
and of whom no English reader ever heard,
relate an incident which had been in his
own knowledge. "Mr. Smith was preach
ing at Drumsleekie, and he had come to the
concluding prayer, where we pray for all
and sundries (sic), when he suddenly re-
membered that he had forgotten to pray
for the magistrates. So he put in the
prayer just were he was, Have mercy upon
all fools and idiots and specially upon the
magistrates of Drumsleekie.' He meant
no evil, but the magistrates were not
pleased. "--Longman's Magazine.

II don't like very well to travel" said
James Whitcomb Riley II am always I'M

fore in all their experience. II want to

the train we wanted was never early, never
late. 1t was always made up on that track

looked at my watch. The train was past
