will Play Port Washington.

ures the baseball players in the city
have finally succeeded in making an
organization and the city is assured
that the National game will be revived
in this city during the summer. The

as yet been elected but it is probable
that Griffin Mcclellan will be made
captain of the new team and an effort
will be made to have some business
man act as manager. The first game
will be played next Sunday between
the KenOsha team and the team from
Port Washington. The game will be
played on the Country Club grounds
and the Kenosha boys will do everyss
thing to win this the first game of the
season. The new team is composed of
of the following players: Pitcher Bow
man; catcher, John Harkin; first base,
Griffin Mcclellan; second base, Will
Cantwell; third base, Marvin Miller;
short stop, Harry Cooper; left field,
Will Eaton; middle field, Geo. Harkins;

A Crowd of Kenosha People Make Merry
in Chicago.
Last evening Messrs. and Mesdames
Harry S. Brown, G. P. Garst, Miss
Irish and Will Schroeder went TO Chi
cago to attend we'll planned surprise
party given by Mrs. M. ". Berrimann
to her husband, in honor OF his Both
(?) birthday.
The surprise was complete, and
many more surprises" we're in store.
Al. Lovedale, of yachting fame, fur
nished the first of this series by putting
in an appearance shortly after the
seven course dinner had been started.
He was presented with a loving cup
shortly after taking his seat at the
table, but as the cup only had one
handle, he only drank half the con-
tents. He says he don't blame Nal
waukee for being famous. Chas
Stroud furnished several surprises"
the best of which probably was while
the tomato course was being served.
Ed Berrimann, Horace Wing and Al
Collins we're also present to assist in
making the surprise complete success.
The dining room was simply smoth-
cred with a profusion of roses, one of
which was found at every plate, and
Mrs. Berrimann insisted that the ladies
should not depart without taking with
them at least two or three of each kind,
of which there were many.
The evening was very pleasantly
spent in music and conversation, and
the party from Kenosha returned on
the ll:3S train.

sinm.n MILLION PrIestr.

According to a lecture on Siam deliv-
cred recently in London by John Bart
lett, that country has more than Its
share of priests. The population OF
Siam, he said, amounted to about
100000, and a curious feature was
the large preponderance of Chinese,
more especially in Bangkok. The Chi
nese practically controlled all the trade
and commerce of the place. There
were hardly any Siamese merchants.
One million of the people were in the
priesthood. He had travelled up river
through the main territory Of Siam for
a distance OF $50 miles, and during the
journey 1t had been absolutely impos'
sible to get out Of sight Of a temple.
In each temple there were from 10 to
300 priests, supported entirely by tho
people. OF the 100000 priests only
100000 were actively engaged. The re-
naming 100000 were passing through
the priesthood.

JESS AND THE BEAR.
Bruln Saved the Man, but Lost HI
Life In the Bargain.

Bruln Saved the Man, but Lost His
Life In the Bargain.
There is n story connected with the
last bear killed about here which fond
grandpApas often told the children
seated ON their knees. 1t appears that
the celebrated Uncle Jess" had spent
all his life as trapper and hunter, and
never mishap had befallen him. But
one night, in his anxiety to shake a
coon, he climbed the shell Of an old
tree.
AS he began shaking the neighbor-
ing limb the stump to which he was
clinging gave way, and he sank feet
first into the hollow center. All efforts
to escape were impossible, and the
pious hunter had resolved to pass the
remainder of his life in prayer, when
toward night his suppllcations were in
terrupted. Looking up. he beheld the
eye of a bear looking straight down
at him.
Then the animal turned about and
backed down the inside of the stump.
Hardly knowing what to do, Uncle
Jess put up his hands in protection and
grasped the bear. Now it was the
bears turn to be frightened. He
scrambled up again, while the hunter
hung on for his life and was carried
with safety to the top.
Here the bears real trouble began,
for with so heavy a weight it was i'm
possible for him to turn about and
back down, so he tried 1t head first,
but that was no easy matter to the
beast, and he fell with a heavy thud
to the ground below and was killed,
while Uncle Jess went home and told
the truthful tale, to be handed down
to his chlldren.-Springhel Republic

Franklin's time honored and cumu-

shoe was lost, for want of the shoe the
horse was lost, for want Of the horse

addendum Of twine and paper bags
put to 1t to make it complete.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
The Idea That Professional Men
Have an Easy Time.


Have an Easy Time.
People who work with their hands.
especially farmers, are apt to think
that professional men have an easy
time Of IT," said a lawyer of this city.
ITS an amusing mistake. The farmer
stops at sundown, and the laborer
works ten hours at the outside. The
average professional man works from
II to II hours day In and day out, all
the year around. Often, at a pinch, he
will work from 16 to 20 hours for sew
eral days in succession, and he win
work when he is sick or suffering Sc

watch n day laborer, who seems to
be plodding along like machine. and
you'll find that he really rests more
than half the time. He looks at some
well dressed DOCTOR lawyer, broker or
man of affairs and says to himself:
'Oh, you doggoned lazy rascall If you
only had to work like meg The truth
is that the chap he envies is putting an
amount Of concentration and continued
energy into his daily toll that would
kill the man who works with his hands
