Items of Interest From That Busting
Bicycle Factory.

Bicycle Factory.
The long, uusy season draws near It's
close, and from the various depart
ments men are dropping quietly out,
though as yet the loss in our working
force is hardly perceptible. But an
other week or two will most likely see
large falling off. Well, all the boys
are fully satisfied and none are dis
pleased at the approaching vacation.
1t has been a good season for the en-
ployes and we most earnestly hope it
has been financially successful one to
the company.
There is ripple of trouble in Wind
sor band matters these days, but We
trust it will confne itself to a ripple
and develop into nothing more serious.
We all want to hear the boys foot up
in the park this summer and it is high
time they were at it.
A marvellous epidemic has broken
out among our workmen and some of
the boys have it in its most virulent
form. And, what do you think? 1t is
a religious epidemic, the seeds of which
were sown away back during last year,
when that dark complexioned and
mysterious teacher" DR.. Guernella
Ct don't know as have spelled it cor
rectly) came up from Chicago to in
struct US in the knowledge of biblical
matters and lead us into all truth. His
rather disastrous experience at the
Simmons Hall meeting during which
he CHANGED to run against Prof n, a.
Rowe-put damper on the local
q truth seekers" for a time and the
doctor disappeared andShas not, to my
knowledge, favored Kenosha with his
visits or lectures of late. But few
ardent souls who had drank deeply of
the fountain of knowledge, revived the
work and secured the services without
money and without price, of a young
and enthusiastic follower of the great
Guernella, and the meetings have gone
merrily on. Our good natured engin-
eer, Lane, has been the head and front
of the movement, and The has been do
| ing a land Office business in the prose-
lyting line, and has succeeded in get
ting a fair number of the wOrkmen in
the shop interested. But amongst the
lot there is not one who, upon being
questioned as to the points of his new
religious doctrine, WILL give you the
slightest satisfaction. They simply
shrug their shoulders, smile pityingly
upon you, and will, most likely, reward
your inquisiti7eness by politely stating
that they do not deem it best to cast
their pearls before swine. l don't just
know where or when this queer spasm
will end.
Charley Lilleberg, foreman of the
tool room, starts tonight for weeks
visit among friends in Stoughton,
Mich. Charley is bachelor as yet,
but his friends here feel there is unu-
sual significance in this visit and are
predicting that when he returns he
will be accompanied by some one of
Michigan's fair daughters.
Ed Blush, our receiving clerk, and
general favorite about the shop, has
been setting up the cigars and things
to those of his friendstinterested in his
recent matrimonial venture. We all
heartily join in wishing Ed and his
bride long and happy life.
And still the wheels go out at the
west end by the wagon loads. That
much talked of war scare seems simply
to hrve scared buyers our way. Well
let 'em come; and ,next season we will
be ready for them again.
JUNE WEDDINGS.
