WANTED TO TRY THE FARM
Jimmie Davis, Who Was Missing From Ike.

Jimmie Davis, Who Was Missing From Ke-
nosha. is Located ON a Farm.
The sudden disappearance Of Jimmie
Davis, the ten year old son Of Mrs.
John Dale, of this city, caused quite a
little concern among the friends of the
boy in this city Tuesday evening.
Young Davis had gone to Winthrop
Harbor week ago for visit with his
uncle and on last Saturday he started
for his home in this city. He failed to
arrive at home and when he was
wanted his mother wrote to his uncle
and informed him that the boy had
not reached Kenosha. This letter
brought a return one stating that he
had left Winthrop Harbor on Satur-
day. The disappearance of the boy
between the two cities caused quite a
little trouble for his relatives and a
search was at once instituted for him.
After considerable work the uncle of
the boy located him at farm west of
Winthrop Harbor. 1t seems that the
boy had decided that he would take a
trial of farm life, and when he was
sent home instead of going to the rail
way station to take the train for Ke-
nosha he went to a farm house and
managed to secure employment as a
helper about the farm. He was glad
to give up his life as an agriculturist
and returned to his home in Kenosha
this morning accompanied by his
uncle

PICKINGS FROM PUCK.
Is Next Sundays Attraction at the Rhode
Opera House.

opera House.
The farcica1 musical comedy, "Pick-
ings From Puck" which will appear
next Sunday is bound to catch the
public taste to nicely. In the chorus
are a lot of dainty femininity, such
sweet simplicity. No one can deny
that this production is a splendid one
in the matter Of scenic equipment as
well as stage handling. All this is
merely Introductory to saying that
"Pickings From Puck comes to town
with ribbons flying. The musical
numbers are breezy and CHEEKY, and
all that can be desired in musical
comedy, and the ping pong dance,
which is one Of the many features,
will, no doubt, be the talk Of the town.
Mr.. Willard Sims the star, is an unc.
tuous type of comedian, who can
make the transition from humor to the
ridiculous. He is clean-cut type of
the faceur, -nimb1e of feet,-tripping
of tongue, and possessed of techni-
cal knowledge of the niceties of farce.
A broad smile suffuses all counte-
nances when Mr.. Sims appears. One
of the delightful surprises is Miss
Catherine Linyard, who reminds one
of Lillian Russell. Her beauty and
talents are cuddlesome, sweet and all
that is rare.

CONGRESS will be asked to authorize
the employment of civilians as profes-
sors of certain branches of instruction
at the Naval Academy, as the officers
on duty there are urgently needed for
strictly naval duty. The increase in
the naval forces has made the service
short of officers as well as men, and
every availables officer who can be
spared from shore duty is. being or
dered to sea. The new Secretary of
the Navy has little sympathy with
those officers who seek shore duty in
preference to sea service, and since he
was appointed there has been great
shaking up of dry bones in the depart
ment. Officers who have been holding
down comfortable appointments in the
different bureaus at Washington for
years have been ordered to sea in spite
of their political pull and vigorous pro-
tests, and Secretary Moody is making
a great effort to limit the work of nav
al officers to that which is strictly
naval.

WHEN the Board appointed to select
the site for the Naval Training School
visits Kenosha next week It will have
one absolutely novel experience at
least, no matter what kind of enter
tainment is provided by other cities.
1t is generally the case that the gov
eminent has to pay twice as much for
anything as private purchaser, but
the Board will find that the land needed
in Kenosha for the site of the Train
ing school can be purchased by the
government for that purpose cheaper
than it would be sold by it's present
owners to private parties. The own,
ers Of the lands are more than willing
to do a littlemor than their share t.
help Kenosha get the station and take
this way to do a good turn for the city
if possible.

RAIN FILLS THE CELLARS.
Heaviest Rain of the Season Fell on Sunday
Morning and Causes Trouble.

The rain Of Sunday morning was
the heaviest rain of the season ia this
section of the country. 1t began with
the dawn and the steady down pour
continued until noon. It was general
throughout the county and the water
soaked soil was unable to absorb the
rain and as result many fields in the
country are under water.
The usual reports are received from
the city and it is evident that the
sewer system was not sufficient for the
great volume of water and Kmany
cellars are filed. The creeks about
the city are filed to their banks and
considerable damage is being done by
the backing up of the water.
The golf links of the Country club
we're completely submerged and the
bridges across Jerome creek on the
grounds were carried out by the surg
ing waters.

Modern Fawning Before wealth.

The chief evil, nowadays, lies in the
well.pigh universal fawning and COVER
ing before wealth, in the blind scram Bile
for fortune or favor. We are taught to
act part, when we should embody a
principle. We stoop overland walk on all
tours, when we should stand erect,
remembering the stars above us.
Many OF the baagers-on of the
millionaire are mere fawners and fat
terers seeking to push their way into the
social swim. Other classes who bend at
bis feet are working people, who ere
dependent on him for food and shelter.
What is the way out of this social
tangle? The answer is no. clear. But
one thing Is certain; we all need keener
sense OF values. We need to set up char
acter (not money!, as the one ideal of life
that Is best worth while.-Ed,cin Mark

DISASTROUS FIRE.
WINTER HARBoR GETS THE
WORST ROAST IN ITS HISTORY.
scHoopIc INN AND TRACY BLOCK
TOTALLY DEsTRoYED-sf $4,000 IN
LossEs--PARwIALLY INSURED.

Early last Monday morning fire broke
out In the sehoodic Inn, managed by
Mrs. Annie smsllidge, Winter Hsrbor,
and before 1t was under control had de-
stroyed the inn, the Tracy block, Il. G.
Hsmmond's livery stable, and Nathan
Hammond's dwelling house and stable,
and had damaged much adjacent property.
The total losses foot up not far from
$4,000. All the property was insured
except the livery stable and its contents.
The entire contents OF the Inn were de-
stroyed. So quick was the work OF the
flames that the guests had barely time
to escape.
The flames OF the burning Inn spread
to the Tracy block, thence to the prop
erty OF the Hsmmonds.
The iire was heroioally fought with the
limited apparatus available, Fortunately
the night was perfectly calm, and this
circumstance may doubtless account for
the entire section OF the town not being
wiped out.
The Tracy, or masonic, block was a
three story building, In which were To-
Gated the offices OF Bedford K. Tracy 1.-THE
owner), county attorney, the New Eng
land Telegraph & Telephone Co, Grind
stone Neck Land Co., the store o., j. NJ.
Gerrisn, eonfectioner, the hardware store
OF NJ. b. Jordan, the masonic hall, and
lodge room of the order of the Eastern
Star.
The stores OF F. A. Harrington & Co.,
c. t. Hooper 81 Son, E. w. Written, J.
w. Weseott, F. Il. Bunker, the town Of
ice aud Hotel Hanover were seriously
threatened, and all OF them suffered more
or less damage.
Hammond's livery stable had been only
recently equipped for the summer bust
ness. The horses and some of the wagons
and harnesses were saved.
Nearly all the contents of the Ham
mond dwelling were saved.
From the Tracy block Mr.. Tracy saved
bis books and papers; the telephone
switchboard was taken out, and the
larger part OF the masonic furniture and
regalis was saved.
There were several accidents. Miss
Margaret Brown, OF Mllbridge, in making
her escape from the Inn, was severely
burned. Edw. Sargent and visitor
named Grant we're overcome By the heat
and smoke. The injured were taken to
DR.. A. Z. smaIl's office and properly
cared for.
Insurance was as follows: On the Inn,
owned by b. f. Tracy, 1880, equally di-
vided between the Hamburg Bremen and
the American; ON the Tracy block, 81 500
81 800 In the London Assurance Co., and
$500 in the Hanover; on the Gerrish
stock, $500 In Hanover, 800 In Capital, on
soda fountain and appurtenances, and
900 In Capital on law library and office
contents OF Mr. Tracy, all OF which is
but partial loss. The Hammond prop
erty was insured for 5000 in the London
Assurance.
This catastrophe is likely to be followed
by prompt action on the part OF the town
In the matter OF fire apparatus. An ade-
quate system Is likely to be adopted.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
A Quiet Day In EIisworth-A Few
Accidents.


Accidents.
Unlike most OF is predecessors, the
Fourth IN Ellsworth was an unusually
quiet day. There were no public exer-
eises Of any sort. Taking advantage OF
the hne weather, many people went to
The shore, or on long drives, or attended
neishborhood picnics, OF which there
were many.
Inc usual changing OF the bells made
the early morning hours hideous, but
from about 7 o'clock until evening, the
town wore the air OF a Puritan Sabbath,
A few accidents happened In the even
Ing. Harvey w. Morsng was struck In
the mouth by stone that was probably
intended for paper balloon. His lips
were badly cut, and one tooth broken.
Charles w. Eppos was badly burned
about the eyes and face while sending of
fireworks. At first Il was feared he
would lose his sight, but now he is out
OF danger.
John w. Brimmer, a Minneapolis
youth who is spending the summer here,
wss burned about the face bs tho ex-
ploding OF giant cracker held in his
hand.

As Young as You Feel.

People grow old by thinking themselves
old. When they reach the age OF forty,
fifty or sixty, they imagine that they look
like others OF the same age, and that they
soon will be useless, unit for work and
unable to perform their wonted duties.
As surely as they think this, 1t will come
true, for thought Is creative. How many
OF US can say, with Job, "The thing which
L greatly feared Is come upon me-"
The time will come when children will
not be allowed to celebrate their birth
DAYS; when they will know that, by
thinking themselves young, they will re-
main young, and that they Will cease to
grow old when they cease to believe In
old age. The body Is built up of beliefs,
and our convictions are stamped upon
every Il Der OF our beings. What we be-
lieve, what we think, that We are; so peo-
pie who remain young In spirit never
grow old.
Not one of hundred students, OF whom
the writer was one, under Oliver Wendell
Holmes, at Harvard, ever thought of him
as an old man, although he had then
passed his eightieth birthday. His spirit
was 80 young, and he was so buoyant, so
fresh and full of life, that we always
thought OF him as one of ourselves. His
vivacity and joyousness were contagious.
You could not be In hiu presence i've
minutes without feeling brighter and bet
ter for IL. The genial doctor never prac-
ticed medicine. yet he did more to relieve
human suffering than many practicing
physicians. His presence Was a tonic; It
was perpetual delight to be near him.
Success.
