THE HORSE WAS PLAYFUL.
But the Tenderfoot Did Not Like Him
Any Better for Being So.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
"Ie amt vicious, stranger, and amt
got a single mean trait
So spoke the owner of the mustang
to the tenderfoot who was sojourning
in the hills of southwestern Missouri.
You just get on and try him, and
If you don't like him don't buy him.
He may be a bit spry and playful
but that's cause he's been in the stable
over a week"
The tenderfoot sprang to the saddle
and what happened thereafter he only
dimly remembered. The horse reared !;
then me came down on all fours, with
his legs as stiff as a sawhorse. Having
repeated this operation half dozen
times, he sprang forward and covered
a good section of the country at a 2.01
gait, with no running mate either.
He reared, leaped, plunged and finally
made his way back to the starting
point, made as If to roll over and then
dived for the stable door, leaving the
horseman dazed, dumb and limp in a
bush near the roadside. The owner
helped the would-be purchaser
to his feet. Strengthened him out and
jammed his battered hat on his head.
What kind-kind of a horse do you
call that?" grasped the tenderfoot.
she! He's all right. Been in the
stable a week, that's all. Feels a bit
playful. But he has a right nice gait.
What do you think of that single foot
of his'n?"

BROWN.

1t was pretty to see how she gazed that
day
AS he led her. a bride, from the church
away;
There was trust in her smiling and hope
in her eyes,
For she truly believed she had won a
prize.
There was no telling, then, she would
softly say,
What wonderful things he would do some
day.
His genius would certainly win renown.
Fame had nothing to give too good for
Brown.
The years rolled on and the loving light
Still shone in her eyes as she watched
each night.
He hadn't done much in the way of art
The career upon which she had set her
heart.
But politics yet his aid would claim
And he'd find his sphere and would hear
his name
Echoed in country house and town.
The world would clanor in praise Of
Brown.
Age hovered near; it was but TO find
Her old ambitions left far behind.
But she clasped his hand as he plodded on
Believing that fortune must surely dawn
That wealth, which may come in a single
day,
Would yet turn honors and JOY their way,
And then, their own burdens of care laid
down,
The grateful poor should remember
Brown.
Her disappointments could never dim
The loving faith that she had in him.
And she tenderly speaks in the same old
way
OF the wonderful things he will do some
day.
She thinks that his virtues were far too
great
For this thoughtless world, to appreciate,
world, to appreciate,
That the sweetest harp and the bright
est crown
Are being reserved, as his due. for Brown,
Washington Star.

His remains were brought home and
Inferred at wyoming.
HIGHER HoNoRs AWAITED HIM.
Colonel oal0ford possessed ell the quail

been spared we can safely predict that
higher honors awaited him. Above ell

itself that this nation should not perish.

and comrades, on behalf of the generous
donor, 1 present you this banner. II Is
inscribed with the name of him, after
whom our command is named. / trust
that no officer or comrade of this com
mand will ever do an act that will bring
disgrace upon this organization nor dis
honor the name OF him, after whom our

Colonel 9. w. Roberts, in accepting
the banner, made some very appro-
pirate remarks, and expressed the high
regard he had always entertained for
Colonel Oakford
In the item with reference TO this

that flag was also presented by Com

from the same treasure house of an
tiquity, Mrs. Lewis recovered a still
earlier syriac palimpsest Of the same
work, concealed under the "superstruc-
ture" Of a comparatively modern mar
tyrology. Most people. too, whether
Biblical scholars or not. know some
thing of the romance attending the
discovery of the long lost "Diatessar-
on" of Tatian in the library at the
vatican: and how the sands of Egypt
have, hardly ten years ago, yielded up
the arocryphal Gospel of st. Peter.
In matters classical. too. 1t is much
the same. Thousands Of people who
are not, in any sense of the word, clas-
steal scholars. have heard how the
ruins uf Egyptian cities have given us
fragments of the "Iliad" in handwrit-
ing some two or three centuries before
Christ, and large portions of the long
lost poems of Herondas. Yet hardly
any one, save a professed mediaevalist
here and there, knows of the romance
attending the discovery of medieval
documents; how the history of the
tenth century has had to be almost
rewritten owing to the discovery of the
autograph Oh lne WOrk OF tne te1ltn
century historian, Richer: or how a
Prague servant just succeeded in saw

of Frederick Barbarossas crusade

many Englishmen know of the late
discovery of the ng-historical French

A Terrible Temptation.

She was the angel of the street,
So fairy like and shy and sweet
| always stopped to scan her face
And catch the ia wnings OF new grace.
Sometimes 1 brought her sweet or flower
And treasured for pleasing hour
The smile she gave to me in thanks,
Like zephyrs ripping flowery banks.
But, ah, true friendship seldom sticks
You see I'm thirty, she is six;
And hcw she got the garden hose
Is something that nobody knows.
But l came by-What did she do?
She calmly soaked me through and

At country school not hundred miles

clergyman. He sent word that he, with
the other directors, would visit the school
last Friday. The teacher, a young girl,
was desirous of making good impress
sion, so she drilled tho children carefully
as to Just what to say on the occasion OF
the visit. The first boy was asked, "Who
made your" His reply was to be God"
The second boy was to be asked, "Who
was the first man?" His answer, of course,
was 10 Adam"

A NECKLACE OF PEARLS

Is a beautiful possession. II a woman owns
one, and IL single pearl drops off the string,
she makes haste to find and restore It,
Good health is a more valuable possession
than a necklace of the most beautiful pearls,
yet one by one the jewels of health slip away,
and women seem indifferent until tbs almost
too late, and they cannot be restored.
To die before you are really old is to suffer
premature death, and that is a sin. 1t is sin
because 1t is the result of repeated violations
of natures laws.
Pain, lassitude and weariness, inability to
sleep, dreadful dreams, starting violently from
sleep, are all symptoms of nerve trouble.
You cannot have nerve trouble and keep
your health. In ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred the womb, the ovaries and the bladder
are affected. They afe not vital organs, hence
they give out soonest.

The windsor Band CONCERT.

Prof Jacoby's first appearance be-
fore KenoSha audience took place
Tuesday evening and was very salts
factory to all concerned. The house
was th0rou4h ly filed. Every seat pro-
vided was taken early in the evening
but before the program began every
available space large enough to hold
person was taken. The concert began
shortly after eight and from the begin-
ming the audience manifested great
interest in the music. The program
consisted of march by the Windsor
band; a violin solo by Josephene
Jacoby; an overture by band; violin
solo by Prof F. A. Jacoby; recitation,
Josephene Jacoby; musicians strike,
the band; duet, Josephene and Prof.
Jacoby and The jolly Blacksmith =
by the Windsor Dand.
Little Josephine and Prof Jacoby
were highly enjoyed and both in their
solos and duets were encored frequently.
Prof. Jacoby and family represent &
diversity of musical talent and are
valuable acquisition to the musical
force of the city.

THE STATES EXPRESS QUITS.
1t Closes It's once Today and Leaves Ke-
nosha Of the Map

The United States Express company
today crossed Kenosha off its map. It's
Office is closed and after this day no
more business will be done by it in this
city. This will undoubtedly be a great
surprise to most of our citizens since
the company was generally supposed
to be doing q paying business here.
The order to move out was as great q
surprise to Charles Young, the local
agent, as to anybody else. He knew
nothing of the intention of the com
pany to take this move until noon.
Then Route Agent Kerrigan of Mil
waukee appeared and ordered every
thing to be packed up and shipped to
Milwaukee. Mr. Young at once hustled
out and got some dry goods boxes
and this afternoon everything was
tumbled into them, except the horses
and wagons. A representative of this
paper asked Mr.. Kerrigan the mean
ing of the move and he stated that it
was undoubtedly made because of some
deal between the States company and
the American company. This is not
credited, however, at the Americas
express Office, though they admit there
that they would know nothing of it if
there was such deal.
Among the business men who had
learned of the change it was thought
that the company was not doing suffi-
cient business here to sustain the heavy
expenses made necessary by the .em~
ployment of so many men and teams.
Whatever the cause there will be NO

sCHMITT WINS
Our Local Favorite Takes the Game by
an almost even score

The last game of the series between
Malone and Schmitt took place Satur-
day evening. A large number were in
attendance and witnessed a fine con-
test. The playing was close through
out. Schmitt played very evenly, MAX
ing each evening between 1872 and 135
points Malone's best playing was on
Friday evening, when he made l87
balls. The match proved drawing
card. for the billiard parlors were full
each night. A little more was cleared
than enough to pay Malone's guaraa-
tee. Schmitt surprised good many
by his cleverness. The score which in
order for Malone to win should have
been 600 to 400, resulted in a victoryof
more than 134 points for Schmiti. 1t
