A. {. Little a KenOsha Workman Said
to Have Discovered the Secret
of the Ancient Aztecs.
It is Claimed that the Invention of Little
Will Revolutiontze the Copper Bust
ness-.worked Nine Years On It.

A. E.. Little, we'll known metallur
gist of Chicago, is creating consider
able excitement and mystery in the
neighborhood of the Chicago Brass
Works and it is stated that he is per-
fecting an invention, which, when
completed, will revo1utionize the work
ing of copper. Mr.. Little has been at
work at the Brass mills for several
days. He is not in any way connected
with the mill, but he has managed to
secure the use of furnace at the plant
with which to develop his invention.
While Mr.. Little has been at work at
the mills, he has not disclosed his Sc
cret to any of the managers of the
plant and they are as much in the
dark as is the general public.
Mr.. Little was seen Tuesday even
ing at his room in the hotel and seem
ed considerably annoyed on account of
the fact that the report of his discov-
cry had been given abroad. He said
that he had been at work on his scheme
for the last ten years, and that he now
hoped that it would prove a success.
Mr.. Little positively refused to talk Of
his invention more than to say that 1t
was a new plan for the treatment of
copper which would cause a revolution
in the copper industries. He limited at
the building of large factory in Ke-
nosha and stated that the Chicago men
for whom he had been working for
some years, had decided to erect the
plant and had narrowed the location
down to Waukegan or Kenosha. He
said that if the plant was esta blished
it would be a great thing, and that his
invention would be largely the pur-
pose of the esta b1ishment of the
factory.
Several of the managers of the
Brass Works were seen, but they stated
that they had nothing to say in regard
to Mr.. Little more than that, he was
working at a furnace in their mill on
an invention which had not as yet
been made public. They said further
that Mr.. Little was not connected with
the mill. Some years ago Mr.. Little
and his invention were rather well
known in the world of copper, but it
was not thought at that time that he
would be able to prove the success of
his experiments. Within few days a
full statement of the invention and its
value to the industrial world will be
given out.
In the meantime Mr.. Little will con-
tinue to mystify the workers at Brass
vile.
This afternoon it is learned from re-
liable sources that the plan of Mr..
Little is a plan of hardening copper,
making a metal that is useful for the
production of vessels similar to those
produced by the Aztec Indians. The
manufacture of such copper vessels
has long been regarded as lost art.

Milwaukee Brewers Will no Longer
Supply Saloon keepers With
Furniture and Fixtures.
THIS WILL CLOSE MANY SALOONS
All Brewers Agree to Furnish Nothing But
Beer to Saloon Men in The Future
Must be Paid for when Delivered

The sa1oonkeepers of Kenosha are in
quandry just at present and some of
them are not absolutely certain
whether they will continue in the sa-
loon business or be closed out by the
breweries, which hold mortgages on
their fixtures and stock. AT the regu-
lar meeting of the Wisconsin Brewers
Association held in Milwaukee a few
days ago, it was decided that in the
future they will not give any fixtures
to sa1oon-keepers or guarantee any
bills contracted by the saloon men.
This order will affect nearly seventy
five percent of the saloons in Kenosha
and without the aid of the breweries
they will have to close their doors and
let their keepers seek some other line
Cf work. One of the men effected, said
today: sit is impossible for many
saloons in Kenosha to run without the
aid of the breweries and the order will
result in many of them being c1osed".
The agreement as signed is as follows:
eve, the undersigned firms doing
business in the state of Wisconsin in
consideration of each others promises
and agreements herein made, agree to
and covenant with each not to furnish
any saloon fixtures, beer pumps or
furniture of any kind whatsoever,
either directly or indirectly, to any
saloon now existing or to be opened
hereafter in the state of Wisconsin.
eve further agree not to advance
any money for the purchase of saloon
fixtures nor to agree to guarantee to
manufacturers or others any bills for
the fixtures by or for any saloonkeeper.
sit is hereby understood and agreed
that in saloons now existing and sup
piled with fixtures belonging to the
brewery or brewing company, that no
a1tera tons or repairs on same shall be
made or to exchange said fixtures or
any part thereof, or to replace the
the same by new ones.
"This agreement to go into effect as
soon as all brewers and dealers in beer
doing business in this territory shall
have signed the same, and notice
thereof has been given to the under

The oyster dinner given on Thurs
day, Jan. oath, at Abram Gu1ick's, was
a decided success. In the morning it
was squal1y outside, but that did not
hinder friends from kenosha, who
came out on their annual pilgrimage,
to the number of twenty-five or so.
They seem to know a fine country
when they see it; also hospita5le peo-
pie, like their host and hostess; also
fine bivalves when they eat 'em. One
was seen to eat with his knife, but
what of that; he ate just as many as
those who confined themselves to the
fork style. He thought he was gett1n
them out of the shell ia the good old
down East way. But not to dwell too
much on form, that dinner and the
social part was something to remem-
Der through the year, or until the Ken
osha boys feel like coming out again.
Between fifty and sixty dollars were
realized, which will be we'll laid out on
the parsonage grounds. Over hun
dred guests were present, and several
stayed from 10 a. m. to S p. m. It was
(of the Gu1icks) born, to see so many
on this jolly occasion at midday and to
see how those Kenosha boys enjoyed
themselves, and witha1 so we'll be-
haved. 1t was observed that L. S.
Fowler, Chas. March, Fred Blackmon
and others, including their better
halves, had finger in the pie.

May just see them eating oysters.

The game of cards was first played
in the east and seems to have had a
military origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at the time Of
the crusades and were first used by
necromancers to foretelI fortunes. They
soon became a popular amusement in
the south of Europe, where the Sara
Gems and Moors taught the people how
to use them, and card playing spread
to all parts of the continent. The state
records of Germany mention the fact
that Rudolph T., in 1915, was fond of
the game and played with his court
ierS.
After the invention of paper the man
ufacture Of cards became extensive,
but declined somewhat when card play
ing was forbidden by several of the
German states and by the English gov
eminent on account of the supposed
Immoral tendency. Before the era Of
paper cards in the orient were made
of ivory, papyrus and canvas, less fire.
