Mr.. KraascE proceeded to fix up a

JUST LIKE THE NEGROES.
Young Society People are Treated to
Genuine Cake Walk.

Genuine Cake Walk
One of the most jolly parties ever
given in Kenosha was the dancing
party given at the University school
hall on Saturday night. The affair
was very informal and all restraint was
thrown to the winds, when it was an
nounced that the next thing in order
was cake walk. The event was a
great success, the only thing missing
being the prize cake. The walk
started at 10 o'clock and was led by
Walter Cavanagh and Schuyler Van
Ingen, The couples one by one
dropped into line, and in short time
the entire assemblage, Including many
of the most staid and sedate matrons
in the city, had. thrown aside their
dignity and joined in the merry sport
of the young people.
The finale of this feature of the
party ended with a concert of negro
melodies in which every song from
Hot time" to /" Kentucky Babe" was
sung and resung, with as much fervor
as the genuine colored bellies and
beaus could display. Dancing con-
tinued until midnight

INJURED IN A SCUFFLE.
Observation-Disclosures Meets With Serious
Accident.

Saturday afternoon Michael Faul-
hauber, pump maker on Market
street, met with an accident which
resulted in his being laid up for some
time to come. It seems. that his
brother, Joseph Faulhauber, had i'm
bibed little too freely, and going to
the home of his mother created dis
turbance. His brother, Michael, hear
ing of the trouble went to the house
and attempted to make peace. Joe
did not look at his brothers efforts in
the right light, and gave him kick
which broke his leg in two places just
above the ankle.
The fracture is very painful one,
and the pump maker will probably be
laid up for some time.

"Do fish feel pain?" dunno never

have observed frcshly-landed fish to
execute certain movements which
seemed to indicate that the fish felt
something; mebbe 'twasn't pain. 1t
nay have been simply agony, or any old
thing like that. Those who used in
their younger days to carry in their

Il hook worked free from the cork.

sation, but he didn't come within so
feet of me for two hours. The desperate
sagging back and zigZag resistance of
hooked fish, the wild fipflaps and
straining gasps of freshly LANDED fish
may be evidences of pleasurable SEN
sations, but | am tempted to consider
them as closely allied to that joyous
thrill which prompts man To rise
above the insiduous caress of strong,

Well, well-do fish swim? Country

How about the night lines? How about

that used to get better and better as
midnight approached, until the glo-
rious fun and occasional profanity were

How He Made an American Lumber Firm
Walt for Its Pay.
a certain lumber firm of this city
more than two years ago shipped to
the sultan of Turkey several thousand
dollars worth of its most valuable
goo,as. The order included NAH gapy
and ebony logs Of unusual SIZE AID oi
The finest colorng and general quality
that could be obtained. The pay mcnt,
or rather the promise to pay, was IL
the shape of draft on the sultan, tn
n.oley TO be forthcoming upon tha
arrival Of the logs at Cons an,iuopS.
Naturally the American firm regarded
the imperial treasury OF Turkey as
good for the price of d shipmen. Of
lumber.
In due time the mahogany and the
ebony reached the Golden Horn and the
Mediterranean steamship company
sent in to the shippers u gentle remind
err that the settlement of freight
charges was in order. D,it meanwhile
nothing had been heard from the sui
tan or his agents and the New YORK
lumber dealers did not fancy being
held responsible for charges upon
goods which were not yet pad for

Then the lumber firm made applica

He promised to see that his sovereign
paid the bill without further delay,

by the Prevailing American sentiment
in favor of paying ones debts hon

sent TO the firm that the draft had been
paid. Since then the actual money
has been received.
