HOMES FOR WORKERS
KcnOsha (NisD Manufacturers Ade
. Novel Plan to Attract Factory
Men to Their city.

Proft-sharing on novel basis Is
to be given n trial by l. of the lead
ing industrial plants in Kcnosha,
Wis, as the managers of the plants
have formed cooperative associa-
tion for the purpose of bringing in
laborers and to make the city n
model manufacturing town. The
plan Is to purchase large tract of
land on which will be built homes for
1000 laborers. These homes will be
sold to the men at the actual cost of
building. They will be located near
the factory district, and fitted with
all modern conveniences. In order to
encourage matrimony among the
workmen these houses will be sold
or rented, and in the latter case the
rent paid will apply on the purchase
price of the house. To further the
plan a large clearinghouse will be
erected to accommodate several
hundred workmen, at which it will
be possible to secure board and
rooms at low rates. One thousand
men are now needed for the factories
in Kenosha, and this unique plan has
been hit upon to draw people to the
city.

CATS SPOILED THE HUNTING.
House Pets Take to the Woods In
Maine and Destroy the
Small Game.

The experience of trappers at IIol-
brooks and Eddngton ponds, near
Bangor, Me. during the past winter
has demonstrated the fact that the
common house cat will, WIN Nurucd
loose in the woods and left H. It's own
resources, become as wild in tho
course of month or two as any
bobcat. says the New York Timex
1t is the custom of cottage owners
at the ponds to take cats to their
places in the spring to drive out tho
mice that take possession of the cot
tage during the winter and in the
fall, when the cottagers return to
town, these cats are usually forgot
ten and left to shift for themselves.
Trappers just returned from the
ponds report that their season has
been failure because the wild house
cats have robbed the traps, tearing
into shreds the mink and muskrats
that were daily caught and feasting
on their flesh. Every morning around
the traps the hunters found evidences
OF feasting by the cats and OF fierce
battles between the cats and animals
caught in the traps. Recently .
dozen of the wild cats have been
shot, but the woods are full OF them,
and so long as they remain there will
be no profit in trapping.

RAN TOO GREAT A HAZARD.
Awkward Predicament In Whtch
Raiiway Conductor Found
Himself.

A man boarded Missouri Pacific
train equipped with transportation
which dad" Walsh, the conductor
thought was questionable. says the
Kansas City Star. The passenger re.
fused to put up the cash fare and
Walsh called the porter and carried
him from the train, depositing him on
a truck on the station platform. The
man took it so nonchalantly that II
occurred to Walsh that he might be
making mistake. He accordingly
went back to the passenger and told
him he might get aboard again.
"All right" said the passenger u
didn't get off the train, and theorctic-
ally I'm still riding. In the nature OF
things I cannot well board n train
upon which am already riding and
he sat on the truck as obstinate as a
mule.
Walsh called the brakeman and por
ter and carried the man carefully ont
the train, put him In the seat in which
he had been riding before the incident
occurred and saved his road damage
suit.

BOSTON'S TEA IMPORTATIONS
Next to Those Of New York. Chicago
and San Francisco They Exceed
All Other Ports.

According to statistics contained in
reports to the treasury department,
next to New York, Chicago and San
Francisco, the port Of Boston stands
at the head Of the ports ranking be-
low the three leading ones as tea
port. The amount of tea passed at
Boston during the six months end
ing June 80, 1901, was 320,524 pounds,
and 1t was not found necessary to
make any reflections. Japan tea made
up 1o5,1s4 pounds of the importa-
tions at Boston; Ceylon, 95,912; In
dia, s5,612. and China, 1886 pounds.
st. Paul ranks next, with no rejec-

CUSI UE AMERICAN ARMY.
In Proportion to It's Sine United states
Military establishment Is Moat
LAucasiyc in World.

In proportion TO its size the Unit
I'd States military establishment is
the M, st expensive in the world. Ac-
cording to Tie official notes of mill
tary interest prepared by Lieut.. Col.
Simpson it is shown that the cost Of
maintaining one soldier in the Amer
lean army for one year is $l,Ol4. The
nearest approach to this is Germany
with S20l, while Russia pays less than
any other government with Sl55 for
each man.
A comparative statement Is made
which shows the effectiveness of the
different armies, the cost of main
tanning them for year, ard the cost
