GAVE A CANDLE LIGHTING.
John Kupfer Entertains His Friends in a
Peculiar Manner.

J0nn kup1er hnCerGdluS his FrleAuS III d
Peculiar Manner.
One of the most enjoyable informal
parties ever given in Kenosha was given
Tuesday evening at the pretty bachelor
apartments Of John G. Kupfer, on
Market street. The occasion of the
party was peculiar one, but the guests
enjoyed the evening hugely. Mr..
K1pfer has large Turkish candle,
over six feet high and five inches in
diameter, which has been presented to
Mr.. Owen, to use in the presentation of
his plays during the coming season.
The candle is thingof beauty and Mr..
Kupfer desired very much to light it.
The lighting was duly attended to
and the ceremonies attendant upon the
deed were very amusing. The guests,
after the candle was lit, all made guess
es as to how long it would burn and the
successful guesser will be awarded a
handsome prize.
The evening was very pleasantly
spent and music and conversation made
the hours pass very rapidly. At the
close of the evening refreshments were
served in a very charming manner.
Those present besides the members
of the Owen company were Misses Swift,
Van Ingen, Hazelton. Farr, English,
Madeline English, Charles, Bond, Belle
Bond and Messrs. Charles, Jebb and
Fisher.

An Exception to the Rule.

There is an old saying that 1.-The more
you kick a dog the more he will love
you" but there are exceptions to every
rule. Some years ago l was stationed
at Davenport. A friend of mine iwhom
| will call Bates owned a handsome
retriever dog. The animal received
more kicks than caresses from his mas
ter, and l was continually remonstra-
ting with my friend on his cruelty to
the dogs; but his only answer to my
entreaties to be kind to the animal was
the usual one, THE more you kick him
the more he will love you
l was very kind to the dog, and my
kindness was we'll rewarded, as the
sequel vii. show.
One afternoon Bates and engaged Il
boat for row. Bates tried all he knew
how to prevent his dos getting into the
boat, but l eventually prevailed upon
him to let the dog accompany US.
On the return journey a fog came or
and a passing steamer swamped us,
with the result that our boat upset, and
we were struggling in the water. We
could not swim, and the steamers
crew could not see us, although they
could hear our cries for help.
As | was sinking the dog grabbed
me and pulled me to the upturned boat;
but l could not get him to save his
master. who was drowned.-Casselfs

The Michigan Experiment Station
found after repeated tests that about
four times as much food can be obtain

The produ, of agriculture form a
very large proportion of our exports.
In 1896 they formed % per cent of the

constituted fully that percentage of the

Barley is not extensively grown, yet
it is n superior stock food and will grow

In England hogs are fattened on bar

Emerson and Lonpf.llow.

In the first number of the Atlantic
Monthly, forty years ago, Ralph Waldo
Emerson had a poem entitled "Brah-
ma" which puzzled both critics and
common readers. Some said 1t was the
greatest poem of the century; some
said it was nonsense. The first verse
ran as follows:
IF the red slayer thinks he Stays,
Or if the slain think he is slain,
They know not well the subtle ways
/ keep, ara pass. and turn again.
That winter it happened that a rela-
tive OF the poet Longfellow. living in
another state, bought sleigh, and in a
family letter TO the cousins TN Cam
bridge there was a wall lest the JAN
uary thaw. which had followed the
purchase. should keep them from en-
ioying the gay cutter that season.
When the letter was answered Long
fellow contributed this verse. which. 1t

Side of the Defense.

Commenting on this, Mr.. Palmer said:
"You will also find that the sheriff pos
sesses powers of Il judicial character
Now, then, to get down to this case. The
sheriff was on the ground in his official
character and in the performance of his
duty. His deputies were in exactly the
same position. In the opinion of the sher
if it became necessary to fire upon what
he considered disorderly and dangerous
mob.
"If the sheriff made a mistake in iudg-
ment he is no more liable to punishment
than Judge of the court who should com
nit a similar error in a criminal trial and
thereby cause the execution of an limo
cent person. But we will prove that the
sheriff made no mistake.
THE real charge against the sheriff and
his deputies is that they used unnecessary
force in dispensing the strikers OF. that
day. and that some of them were inspired
by malice and burning desire to commit
murder. You have heard only one side of
this case, given by witnesses who are not
only intensely prejudiced and personally
interested, but who have been thoroughly
drilled.
THE way their stories agree is simply
marvellous. They were not going to do
anything; they were entirely unarmed;
they were as peaceful as lambs; they were
going over to Lattimer to have a little
talk; they were not going to force TIE
men at Lattimer to quit work, but they
were only going over to persuade them.
But they took along 800 men TO do the
persuading

circumstances of this kind the very fact

ITse of Fertilizers.

You cannot, by the use of commercial
fertilizers alone, make your land rich.
Indeed, if they are ignorantly applied,
the result will be the impoverishment
of the soil. If you add $40 to your bank
account and check out $50, you know
the result. In like manner, when you
use a small quantity of your fertilizer,
1t grows vigorous plant, which en-
ables it to gather fertility from the soil
largely in excess of the materials added
by the fertilizer. Judiciously used,
they are great boon to the farmer
But, l repeat, the best method of using
the phosphates and potash salts is on
the pea and clover crops. 1t ensures, as
q rule, fine crop of these renovators.

"Profassors.

The misuse of the title professor. -
when 1t IS applied indscriminately to
musicians in general, finds an amusing
example in the following story, credit
ed to Bandmaster Sousa, and printed
III the Musical Age:
Some years ago Sousa was leading a
band at small country festival. The
advent of the band had been awaited
with Intense interest by the audience,
and when they arrived the bandsmen
were quickly surrounded by surging
crowd which hemmed them in so that
it was difficult for them to keep on
playing.
Sousa appealed to one of the commit
tee to keep the crowd away, and said
that unless his men had more room
they could not play. The committee
man shook his hand warmly, and turn
ing to the assembled multitude bawled
out:
Gentlemen, step back and give the

Snueaked Once Too Often,

Maccabe, the ventriloquist, was a
great practical joker. Several years
ago he was ON board a river steam
boat, and, having made friends witt
the engineer, was allowed the freedom
OF The engine-ro0m.
Presently a certain part of the ma
chinery began to creak. The engineer
oiled it and went about his duties. In
the course of few minutes the creak.
ing was heard again, and the engineer
rushed over, oil-can in hand, to lubri-
cate the same crank.
Again he resumed his post, but il
was only a few minutes before the
same old crank was creaking louder
than ever.
Great JUPITER he yelled, 'the
things bewitched."
More oil was administered, out the
engineer began to sil.ell rat. Pretty
soon the crank squeaked again, when,
slipping up behind Maccabe, he squirt
ed half a pint of oil down the JOKER
back.

Mexican Cattle.

The way Mexican cattle have poured
into Texas during the past year at the
increased duty shows that the demand
for feeding cattle has been so great
that the new law had no prohibitory
effect Mexican steers are not the best
stock cattle in the world, but there are
plenty of cattlemen who think they
will do when everything else is gobbled
up. Mexican ranchmen have been will
ing to part with their cattle at prices
which the competition created, for they
were higher than ever before, This
demand, which is likely to continue
for a few years at least, may stimu-
late Mexican cattle owners to raise a
better class of animals.-Chicago

of so great a nuiAS, of men being gath
cred together is an exhibition of force and
coercion. But when it comes our tlrn
we will show that the sheriff did Sot use
unnecessary force. The strikers were not
so lamblike as they would have you be-
lieve. They were just as anxious for a
fight as the deputies and more so.
There was a struggle between the twu
parties at West Hazleton, in which the
strikers used sticks ard stones and the
deputies dubbed with their rifles The
very fact that the deputies hesitated to
fire at West Hazleton made the strikers
more confident and obstreperous when
they arrived at Lattimer. We will show
that the sheriff met the strikers up the
road before they had come within hun
dred yards of the deputies, and that he
used every means in his power to have
them turn back. He was overpowered
and hustled out into the ditch. and the
strikers rushed by him at the deputies.
THE deputies had just three things to
do. They could run, or they could hold
their ground without firing and have their
guns taken away from them, or they could
fire and drive the strikers back. This lat
ter they did, and if the officers of the law
are to be convicted of murder for doing
what was plainly their duty we may as

TheOld Horse.


Az, sell the old horse, if you will;
For he is broken down
And weak with years-why care for tha
There's plenty in the town
To take his place, to do his work,
To go the pace he went
By day or night, or rain or shine,
Until his strength was spent.
He never stopped to reason why,
To ask that this be done,
Or that he knew his duty.
He did it on the run.
He served his master as he best
Knew how to serve-and now
Go sell him; he is loyal and
Will not ask why, or how.
A horse is not a sentiment;
He cannot think or speak
Or vote; then why protect him when
He's worthless, old and weak?
For him no starry banner floats
On every breeze that blows;
For him no pension comforts come
When years his labors close.
Az, sell the old horse, if you will;
He will not ask you why,
Nor make complaint when he is turned
Adrift to starve and die;
But faithful in his labors still,
AS when they were begun,
He will not care; he is content,
With duty bravely done.

A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY.
Canadian Loan Companies Getting

Probably In the history of the cont.

settlement, while in the towns and
cltles all denomlnIt tons are represent
ed, and with markets in close proxim-
lty TO the grain fields, most of the re-
Qulrements for a comfortable existence
are met. The development that is now
taking place in the mining districts
gives an impulse to agriculture, and
good prices, with good crops, bring
about state of affairs that the crowd

the returns from the West during the
past three months have exceeded ex

from Manitoba over $4,000 interest

which had been written off year ago.
Directors of leading loan companies are
taking greater interest in BUSINESS of
their institutions, and are inquiring in
to many properties on which advances
have been made.
