GIVEN THE FLOP.

see an elephant lying supinely on his
side in the forest, while a gorilla dances
up and down on his body. The ele-
plant had sought to crowd the gorilla
off the sidewalk as they met, but was
seized by his tusks and given the flop.
While the lion has his good natured
moments and the elephant will often
take great deal of sass before he
breaks loose, the gorilla is fighting mad
from Sunday morning to Saturday
night He is never placid or compla-
cent, but is ever itching to give some
one a swipe on the jaw. He is proba-
bly, the only thing OH earth that will
get out Of a warm bed at midnight to
fight the yeowl of a cat or the boot Of
an owl. It is this pepper sauce temper OF
his that gives him such great advan-
tage over his fellow wild beasts. He has
them licked before they can get mad
and ready to fight. If you will take
notice of a gorilla in a menagerie, you
will discover that his face carries a
grin. He looks like man who would
back a note for a friend or sign petit
ton for a new sidewalk, but there is
where you are fooled in him. Under
that grin is concealed enough cayenne
pepper to warm up whole village.
What the fate of the gorilla will be
no one can say. He may never be edu-
Gated up to the point of running a ward
caucus or carrying the American flag
from New York to San Francisco, but
if he could be taught to turn a grind
stone, husk corn, shell beans and kill
cats the world would give him well

Capt Charles SymmOnds, KenOsha
Soldier. Gets a Promotion in the
Service Of His Country.
IS BANQUETED BY THE CUBANs
Hany Citizens of Puerto Principe ASK
That the Kenosha Boy be Left in
Cuba to Complete His Work.

Capt. Charles Symmonds, of this
ity, who has been active IN the work
f reconstruction in Cuba for the last
wo years, will give up his work in the
Stand and return to the States, for
.tter has been received from him
tating that he has been transferred to
4. Sam Houston in Texas to take up
ONE important work among the 1ndi-
as near this point. Capt. Symmonds
ill begin his new duties about the
fiddle of next month and in the mean
me he is preparing his final reports
} the government of his work IN
Puerto Principe, where he has been
tationed.since the close of the Spanish
american war. The people of Cuba
we're very anxious to have the Keno
,ha boy remain with them for some
lime to come, and to this end a great
petition was sent to the War depart
ment, but the government officials re-
fused to grant the request, as it was
held that Capt. Symmonds would be OF
greater value to the army at the Texas
fort.
Capt. Symmonds has been at Puerto
Principe since the close of the war,
and none of the American officers have
done better work in connection with
the reconstruction. Puerto Principe,
thanks to the efforts of the Kenosha
man, is one of the model cities of
Cuba. The town has been completely
rebuilt, and it is modern in every way.
The people of the town are greatly
pleased with the work of Captain Sym
monds, and Ebefore he leaves for the
states a great banquet will be given in
is honor, and if the government will
permit, one of the large bridges built
under the regime of the Kenosha boy
will be named in his honor.
In going to his new work Captain
Symmonds will go among friends, as
he has had large experience among the
Indians and at the forts on the out
posts of civilization. 1t was in this
work that he won his first spurs after
1eavingIWest Point in 1890. His mis-
sion in Texas will be most important
0ne, but it can be depended upon that
the work will be done in a manner to
effect credit on the Captain and on his
1ome city. It is possible that Captain
5ymmonds smay make short visit to
xenosha on his way to Fort Sam
Houston.

BAIRD WINS A RACE.
Heating and Hecker's Race Horse Finished
First at Harlem Thursday.

Heating and Hecker's Race Horse Finished
First at Harlem Thursday.
"Baird" has started the season well
and Thursday afternoon Heating &
Hecker's racer, the only Kenosha
horse in Harlem, cantered in under the
wire an easy winner in the last race at
Harlem. AS the little racer crossed
the tape first she brought immense JOY
to the hundred Kenosha specta tors
who were present at the races and who
had backed the horse to win. Baird"
is a splendid horse, but the ways OF
race horse are peculiar and it is hard
to tell just when they are going to act
right. "Baird" has been entered IN
several races this year and the form
shown did not warrant the kenosha
sports putting much money on him,
but when he put out as ten to one
shot in class of fast ones Thursday
the sports saw the opportunity and the
bookies were kept busy cashing Keno
sha tickets for the rest of the evening.
The race was an easy one for the
Kenosha horse. After 1oafng half
way round the course "Baird" seemed
to come to the conclusion that he was
due to win and after the half mile post
was passed he showed the field how
Kenosha horses ran when it was nee
essary. The purse in the race was
four hundred dollars, but it is stated
that the Kenosha men cleared up sew
era1 thousand dollars on the race.
"Baird' will be kept at Harlem during
the season and it is expected that he
will make a better showing than dur
ing the last season.

Mrs. George C. Fairman is Married
to r. w. Disbrow, Chicago
Broker.
HUSBAND GIVES THE WIFE AWAY.
Broker Disbrow Had Lived With the Fair
man Family For Fifteen Years and
Wanted the Wife.

A number of Kenosha people have
received cards announcing the mar
rage of Mrs. George C. Fairman, of
Chicago, to Mr.. F. w. Disbrow, the
we'll known Chicago broker and the
cards tells one of the most peculiar
stories of love and business ever re-
lated. Mrs. Fairman, the bride, was
formerly Miss Brady, a well known
young lady of this city, and twenty
years ago she was united in marriage
to George C. Fairman, mem
Der of the Chicago Board of
Trade. The home of the Fairman's
was a happy one, but the wife and
husband presented a strange contrast
as the wife was in the bloom of youth
and the husband was on the shady side
of fifty.
Fifteen years ago F. w. Disbrow, a
we'll known Chicago broker, came to
board at the Fairman home. He paid
literally for his board and room and
seemed to take an active interest in
the affairs of the household. Since
that time until a few weeks ago
he had remained at the home as
boarder, but from now on he will be
the head of the house and Mr.. Fair
man will take the place on the side of
the table which was formerly occupied
by the boarder.
Fairman and Disbrow were always
friends and business associates and
vixen Fairman discovered that Dis
brow was enamored with Mrs. Fair
man he looked the matter fairly in the
face and the two men considered the
matter for many weeks. AT the close
of the discussion Disbrow offered to
90 away and make an effort to forget
his love for Mrs. Fairman but the hus-
band was equally se1f-sacrifcing and
he suggested that divorce be secured
and that Disbrow be permitted to
marry the wife. The matter was sug-
gested to Mrs. Fairn1an and she con-
scented. A few days later the parties
appeared in the divorce court and a
divorce was granted by mutual con-
sent of the man and wife.
A few days later the party left for
Boston, the former homes of Disbrow,
and there in the presence of few
friends Mrs. Fairman became Mrs,
Disbrow. The former husband was
present at the wedding and gave the
bride away.
At the conclusion of the wedding
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Disbrow left
for wedding tour before returning to
their home in Wood1awn and Mr.. Fair
man bidding them God speed left for
Buffalo for visit at the Pan Ameri-
can.
After the visit was over Mr.. Fair
man returned to Chicago and went to
the home of the Disbrow's to make his
home. The same number of plates
are still set at the table and the only
change noticed is the position of the
star boarder. All the parties are per-
fect1y satisfied with the new arrange
ment and the home is one of the hap
piest in Wood1awn.

BROKE THE RECORD.
2,675. 900 Gallons of Water Pumped at the
Power House Last Wednesday.

The approach of the warm weather
has had its effect upon the city water
system, and it is reported today that
all records at the power house were
broken on Wednesday when the pumps
were worked almost to their fullest
capacity, and 2,675,000 gallons were
forced through the mains. During
this record breaking work five and one
half tons of coal were consumed.
On account of the demand for water
the commissioners are making every
effort to shut down on people who are
abusing the sprinkling privileges, and
it is more than probable that water
will be shut off in many residences on
account of these violations.

NATURAL HISTORY.
Some Pointers For the Youth About
the Gorilla.
Copyright, 1901, by c. B. Lewis.l

ILOpyTlgnt, TUT, Dy z. 3. LeWls.T
Were a boy 10 or II years of age to
encounter a full grown gorilla in a
cornfield late at night the struggle
might be terrific one, but that boy
would be advertised as missing next
morning. OF all wild beasts to be fear
ed by man the gorilla inspires the most
dread. If he were to be found in Amer
lea in such numbers as in Africa, no
farmers son would go sparkling on
Sunday night for love or money, and
spelling schools, cornhuskings and ap-
pie bees would have to take place in
the afternoon.
The home Of the gorilla is in central
Africa, and he is boss in his own terri
tory. In the picture have drawn you
