Speak Quick, the Supply is Limited.

This month there are a few old
bachelors in Kenosha that can be
had for a reasonable sum if applica-
tions are sent in soon. Some Of them
are holding good positions, but we will
not mention any names. Let the girls
find out for themselves.

just reflect for an instant upon pos
tiers past. posters present and posters like
to-he, and see il this is not true. Nearly
all poster art makes a point of using woman
a S its chief design and decoration. She is,
OF course, represented in 4 variety OF ways
smoking, skating, writing, "biking,'
flirting, reading-but it is nearly always
a woman, rarely a man. No matter what
the poster commentaries or calls attention
to, from cigarettes or soap 10 the new
photography, or Herbert SpeDcer's latest
trifle. it is sure to he n woman who is
chosen to set 1t forth and imFersonate
it. All the designers, whatever their
81 7ol, have appropriated her. She ap-
pears alike upon the impressionist and
the realistic poster; she inspires the Japan
esque no less than the Reardsleyite va
riety. She is of all ages, sizes and
sorts; she is variously occupied, and still
more variousiy environed. She is, how
ever, always striking and picturesque.
The Poster Girl has thus become almost
as marked Il feature of the present era
as the poster itself.

Kiss Them at Bedtime.

Oh, mothers, SO weary. discouraged,
Worn out with the cares OF the day,
You often grow cross and impatient;
Complain of the noise and the play;
For the day brings so many vexations,
So many things going amiss;
But, mothers, whatever may vex you,
Send tho children TO bed with a kiss.
The dear little feet wander often,
Perhaps, from the pathway of right
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night;
But think OF the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your bliss
And. as thanks for your infinite blessings
Send the children to bed With kiss.
For some day their noise will not vex you;
The silence VIII hurt you far more;
You will long for the sweet children voices
For a sweet childish face at the door:
And to press q chiid's face to your bosom,
You'd give ali the world Just for this;
For The comfort .twtll bring you In sorrow.
Send the children to bed with kiss.

Leave Wives at Home.

1t is strict rule with the big trans
Atlantic steamship companies that the
wife of the captain shall not travel in his
ship. The company strongly prohibits
its captains from taking their wives abroad
with them. The supposition is that if any
thing should happen to the ship the cap
tain instead of attending to his public duty,
would devote his attention mainly to the
safety of his wife. So that if the wife
of captain wants to go abroad she must
take passage in some other vessel. This
rule also holds in many of the freight lines.
