XMAS FOR THE POOR.
KEMPER HALL SISTERS GAVE THEIR
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE.
OVER 200 CHILDREN PRESENT.
And Every One of Them Received a
Present and Merry Christmas"
Greeting From the Sisters of st,
Mary-A Worthy Charity.

Among all the festivities of the
Christmas season there is none that
reflects so clearly the spirit of doing
good to others as the Christmas tree at
Kemper Hall for the poor people. For
most of these this is the only taste of
the Christmas joy that they gel, the
one treat in the year to which they
look forward. For the sisters it is g.
purely unselfish work, and one of their
many ways of giving not only practical
help but pleasure to others.
Ia this work they are assisted by the
merchants and other townspeople who
send money and presents for this festi-
val. This year the charge of the
decorations and a great deal of the
work was assigned to Miss Frauline
Schwartz.
Wednesday night more than two
hundred poor people gathered in the
chapel of St. Peter. After a short
service and the singing of the Christ
mas hymns the visitors were taken to
Armitage Hall, where a large tree
blazing with lights and gaily decorated
met their delightful gaze. Seats had
been arranged the length of the hall
and to these the people were led and
seated.
Then began the distribution of pres
ents. Every one had something, and
on every package was ritten the
familiar greeting Merry Christmas.
The presents were most of them prac-
tical-mittens, stockings, shawls and
dress patterns. For the children were
books, toys and pictures. All received
an orange and bag of candy before
they went away. 1t was surely some
return for the sisters treat to hear the
expressions of delight and gratitude
from the recipients of their kindness.
These people are those with whom
the sisters come personally into contact
during the year. Many OF the children
belong to the sewing class which meets
every Saturday afternoon and is taught
by one of the sisters. When this
Christmas treat was first planned there
we're only about twelve families that
enjoyed their entertainment. Now
there are more than two hundred per-
sons who come annually to the Kemper
Hall Christmas festival.
One of the most thoughtful gifts this
year for the festival was present from
Mr.. z. G.. Simmons who sent sixty
dollars in silver quarters, fifty cent
pieces, and dollars, all fresh from the
mint.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor il you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale, they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
YOUR make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public, both are GER
tain to be tried, and the public will
very quickly'pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
put forth with exaggerated claims, but
are certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and fol-
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
ing equal to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by Starkweather &

W. W. STRONG, President.
Kenosha, Wis, Dec. %, 1898.
Entertained the Teachers.

A very enjoyable social affair was
given last evening by Rev. and Mrs. E
F. Dornfeld, at the parsonage of the
German Lutheran church, in the way
of a supper for the teachers of the
Sunday school.
Thursday evening was the anniver-
sary of Rev. Dornfeld's birth and the
teachers took advantage of this and
helped him spend the evening very
pleasantly.
After the guests had partaken of a
sumptuous supper they retired to the
parlor, where music and conversation
assisted in passing several pleasant
hours.

Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
thousands of kidney sufferers back
from the verge of despair.

trouble.
Mr.. John G. Tretow, of 922 Hadley
St., Milwaukee, night foreman in the
Electric car barns on Twelfth St., says:
" I used plenty of medicine, lots of
plasters, all kinds of liniments said to
be sure cures for kidney complaint or
backache, yet despite all my efforts my
back ached. | had attacks of it for six
or seven years. When motorman, if
he car jolted or gave a quick turn
which caught me unawares, | frequent
ly had such eXcruciating twinges
across my loins that I fairly groaned.
STOPPING or remaining in one position
for any length of time resulted in
weakness, lameness and soreness of the
back. Obtaining Doan's Kidney Pills
at drug store and taking a course OF
the treatment, was surprised at the
results obtained. Since stopped the
use of the pills there has not been an
ache or twinge in or around my kid
neys. You are at liberty to tell any
one the above facts" just such en-
phatic endorsement can be had right
