The Hunsberger Business to Be Re-
newed in This City. Many Chi
cago Couples Coming.
A GRETNA GREEN ONCE MORE.
A Loopholein the License Law Gives the
Matrtm on1ally Inclined an opportun-
ity to Seek Their Old Haunt.

There is possibility that the mar
rage industry will be revived. Chica-
90 couples have discovered that there
is loopho1e in the State license law
by which they can get married quick
and without the delays put upon them
| by the Illinois laws. The consequence
is that the number of Chicago couples
coming here to get married is steadily
on the increase, and the local minis
tiers and judges stand chance, II they
are so minded, of stepping into the
long-vacant shoes of the reverend pas
tor of the Grand Avenue M. h. church
of Milwaukee, formerly so we'll known
to fame as a rapid tier of nuptlal
knots.
In Illinois after marriage license
is obtained there is required wait of
ten days. Here is fve-day wait but
by going to a judge this time can be
evaded, and permission for an imme-
date ceremony can be obtained. TO
people living in the city this permits
sion is usually withheld, unless, OF
course, there is a valid and sufficient

rage rush into town, get their license
and then appeal to judge to unite
them in time to catch the train back,
they are usually able to show that the
dispatch is necessary.
The mans vacation time is about to
expire, that he will not be able to re-
turn to the city or that he is too poor to
pay for board for himself and his in
tended for the time required by the
provisions of the law.
To all intents and purposes there is
Just as good reason for couples to take
advantage of the present ''loopho1e"
as there was to seek out the Rev.
Hunsberger. The object in each case
is to get around the wait between the
time of taking out the license and the
time when the ceremony can be legal
ly performed. Many couples came
here to avoid the expense of a set wed
ding time. Others wanted to surprise
their friends. And so the chances for
Kenosha getting back its title of a
Gretna Green are bright. There is
only one drawback, however, and that
is that the licenses are not issued on
Sunday, the Sunday marriages indus
try cannot we'll be revived.

GLAD THE STAMPS ARE GONE.

Everybody who has been compelled
to use revenue stamps on checks, tele-
grams, express receipts, legal docu-
ments, ETC., is glad their day has
been discontinued. Especially are the
cashiers of banks, telegraph Office
managers and express agents glad, as
the use of troublesome little things
caused more friction between them
and patrons than all other causes. 1t
was not the expense attendant upon
their use, butss' the annoyance which
caused people to forget to remember
the MAN," aEfiue picture of which on
every 1-cent stamp was supposed to
arouse patriotic ardor and the frame of
mind inducedsby being compelled to
hunt around for that extra cent or
break nickel and get back four dingy
copper cents in change, was not con
ductive to pleasant relations between
the parties. Everybody now loves the
stamps-because it has gone.

SHE Con1ApsEs INTO A WRAPPER.


who grow old the quickest. After her
| work the busy business woman rushes
home, eats a hasty meal and flies to the
| seclusion Of her room, where she col
| lapses In an untidy wrapper and spends
| the evening yawning and reading
novels. If some one asks her why she
doesn't brace up, put on a clean gown
and enjoy the evening with some
friends who will cheer her up and give
her new ideas and fresh interest in
life, she answers I'm too busy" or II
haven't time" Or "I'm too tired" The
truth is, she is satisfied with her own
company; she is too selfish to interest
herself in other people and too lazy to
exert herself a little to make friends.
The result is that she goes down to the
office next day discontinued with life
and grumpier than ever.
The busy home woman is the same
From dawn till dusk she rushes around
doing a multitude Of things. She is
model housekeeper. She makes all the
chjIdren's clothes and most Of her own,
she is forever cleaning, mending or
making embroidery or preserves, ana
she considers that she is doing her
duty by her husband and children. But
she never has time to listen to their
little troubles, and she is too busy to
make herself attractive to her hus-
band and she hasn't time to extend
those little courtesies which make life
long friends. She is just plain WON
an, as she will tell you, and very
busy one, with no time for nonsense
Does it ever occur to the busy WOm-
an, | wonder, that she is missing the
best part of life; that it would pay her
far better to be less active and smart
and to find time for kind word and a
smile? Does it ever occur to that wo-
man that she is turning herself into
machine and that the best machines
break down some day? No, suppose
not. She will have to reach that day
first-the day when her physical activ-
ity will have deserted her, when she
will be sick or old and will no longer
be able to be busy. She will look
around for sympathetic words and
comfort, not realizing that the treasure
Of friendship is built up by continued
little acts of kindness throughout the
years of ones life. Perhaps she will
wish then that she had allowed herself
to take time: MAUD ROBINSON.

DOING A BIG BUSINESS.
The Money order Branch of the Post
ONCE Business is Kept Busy.

The branch of the business of the
Dostoffice of Kenosha that has to do
with money orders, ETC., is in such
thriving condition that those in charge
are kept pretty busy. 1t was estimated
some time ago that the money order
transactions of the local office for the
year ending June 80 would not only
surpass anything that had been done
by the office in previous years, but
would amount to more than is done in
most of the cities of the State, except
ing only Milwaukee. The report of
ahe department .ows business COW
ering more orders by almost fifty per
cent than have been issued by the RAJ

RECEIVES TERRIBLE INJURIES
August Kinder Loses Hand and is Cut in
the Abdoman by Saw.

About four O'Clock Friday afternoon
August Kinder, whose home is on
Lake avenue, had a very narrow es-
cape from being literally cut IN two.
August is boy 10 years of age, the
son of William Kinder, and was EN-
p1oyed at the time of the accident at
the Carter Manufacturing company's
factory. He was engaged in working
a swing saw that is kept IN position
by weight attached to a rope. 1t
seems that the weight was displaced
by the breaking of a rope and the re-
suit was that young Kinder was
caught by the advancing saw. HIS
right hand was cut off clean just above
the wrist and two long gashes were
torn in the abdoman. Had the boy
been a little closer to the saw there
can be no doubt that he would have
been killed outright.
Pr. Pugh was sent for at once ana
the boy was taken to the office OF the
Doctors Pugh, in the Meyers block,
where, with the assistance OF Or. Farr
and DR.. Kimbal1, the wounds were
dressed. The hand was cut OFT SO
clean that the doctors never saw 1t at
all. The amputated member was lett
where it fell when the accident oc-
Cured.
The grit of young Kinder was
something quite remarkable. He went
through the process of having the
wound dressed with the utmost sang
froid, and when the parents arrived at
the scene and both broke down at the
sight of the boys injury, he stolidly
remarked: "What are you crying
about? I'm not killed"

THE BUSY WOMAN.
She HAS No Time For the Small Cour-

tesies of Life.
Need the busy woman be a bear?
Anybody would think so to watch her.
Ii the busy woman's sphere of activity
is bounded by an office, she is so rush
ed that she hasn't any time for the
small courtesies Of life. If any one
opens q door or hands her a book,
there is no response. Often a CHEEKY
good morning calls forth only blank
expression. If any one reminds her
that she is impolite, her lips close with
a pinched expression, and she mutters
CURLY, I'm busy" | suppose she
thinks a smile or . courteous word
would be a waste of valuable time
That's where she is vastly mistaken.
People form their impressions of our
character from these apparently small
things, and no one can afford to be in
different to the good opinion Of others.
Then, too, a smile acts on a tired brain
like tonic; it refreshes and invigor-
ates. 1t is safe to say that every smile
makes a woman second younger and
that it is the women who seldom smile

EGASOLINELAW
Retail Dealers Do Not Seem to Know
About the Statute Now
in Effect.
MUST SELL IN RED PACKAGES.
Every Barrel, Can or other Package OF
Gasoline Required to be of
Vermilion Hue.

After the first day of June OF the
present wear, according to law passed
at the last session of the Legislature
it became obligatory upon dealers IN
oaso1ine to deliver this product in pack
aoes of certain hue. Vermilion is
the color selected by the legislators
and the law requires that every cask'
bETrel, can or package shall be OF this
color. In addition the word 'gasol1ne"
shall be plainly stenciled on the out
side. This makes gaudy package OF
a can of gasoline and one that must
attract attention and be easily d1st1n-
ouished fromsa can of kerosene.
Thus far, however, the law has not
been generally observed, either because
the dealers whom the law affect are I'M
familiar with the provisions or the
statute, or because the enforcement OF
it has not yet become a matter OF fact'
The section of the law in question
reads as follows:
Section 9. EVERY person dealing at
retail in gasoline in this state shall,
after the first day of June, 1901, deliver
the same to the purchaser only in bar
re1s, casks, packages or cans painted
vermi1ion red and having the word
"Gaso1ine' plainly stenclled thereon.
No such dealer shall deliver kerosene
in barrel, cask, package or can paint
ed or stenciled as above. Every person
purchasing gasoline for use shall pro-
cure and keep the same only in barrels,
casks, packages or cans painted and
.stenciled as above. No person keeping
for use, or using, kerosene, shall put or
keep the same in any barrel, cask,
package or can painted or stenciled as
above. my person violating any OF
the provisions of this section shall be
punished by,a fine,of not less than FIVE,
nor more than. fifty dollars, or by i'm
prisonment' 'in the county Jail not to
exceed three months, or by both such
fine and Imprisonment.
The danger Of" handling gasoline IS
we'll known by this time and the extent
of damage that may be done by this
product is illustratedaby tables of stat
istics so forcibly that the Legislature
was led to enact this section IN the Dill
regulating the sale of oils and the pen
atty for adultcratiOn.
Several Kenosha' drug stores were
visited to ascertain whether or not the
dealers consider that the law requires
bottles containing gasoline to be
painted vermi1ion hue, but it appears
that the druggists have not been re-
minded of the fact that such law was
passed. That a bottle is package is
not disputed and while the druggists
do not know how the matter will be
settled, they are of the opinion that
even a bottle containing 5 cents worth
of gasoline for cleaning gloves is in
cluded in the object of the law.
AS to the enforcement of the law it
is in the hands of the state dairy and
food commission. The'po1ice claim 10
jurisdiction in the matter.
The law affects householders as well
as dealers, for all who use gasoline are
required to keep it in packages as
above required.
