SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM.
Driven to Despair by Impo@IbiIIty
of Securing Help SIX Families Es-
tabIiah Conan unity Kitchen.

A number of women OF Kenosha,
Wis, have grown tired of seeking a So
luton for the servant girl problem,
and in order to put an end to these
troubles plans have been made for the
opening of community kitchen. Six
families are interested.
For some time there has been a
dearth of cooks and housemaids in the
city Girls have been imported from
Chicago, japanese and Chinese cooks
have been secured. and even southern
negroes have been imported, but lured
by the offers of factory managers the
girls have gradually drifted into the
factories until at the present. time it is
almost impossible to secure a house
maid.
A large house will be secured for
use as a kitchen, and chef will be en-
ployed who will do all the cooking nee
essary for the six families. An assist
ant will deliver the victuals to the diff
ferent homes. The women are enthusi-
astic over the scheme, and fail to see
any of the drawbacks which have been
suggested by the husbands.

Death of Mrs. Inter.

The sympathy of this community
is with Rev. DR.. and Mrs. ID. M
Reeves in their recent bereavement
in the loss of a daughter, Mrs. G. ii
Inter, who was visiting her parents
at the time of her death, Tuesday
Sept. I'd. Mrs. Linter came here fol
Il short visit with her parents about
two months ago while en- route from
Tampa to Philadelphia to join her
husband, who now makes his head
quarters in the latter city. She was
persuaded and gained the consent OF
her husband to prolong her visit.
On Monday she gave birth to little
boy, and on the following day was
siezed with commissions, in one of
which she passed away.
AT the time of her death, Mr.. Lin
ter, who is in the marine service,
was en- route to Galveston, and he
could not know of his wife's death
nor the birth of his little one until
the arrival of his vessel at that
point this week.
The funeral services were held at
the Presbyterian church Monday and
were conducted by Rev. D. Spencer,
of Silver Pond. The interment was
in Eden cemetery.
Mrs. Inter was the second child
of DR.. and Mrs. Reeves, She had
been teaching in South Florida,
where she was married about one
year ago. Her husband recently en-
gagged in the marine service between
Philadelphia and Galveston, and
had prepared a home for his bride in
the former city. The blow will come
with crushing weight upon him, as it
has upon the fond parents, the
brothers and little sister.
,!The little motherless baby will be
cared for for the present by Mrs.
Reeves, who is far from able to UNI
dertake the responsibility.

which calls to mind the story of the
southern judge who had a fine lot of

notorious for stealing, said: "Uncle

pick out two of these hogs you think
you'd like best, and I'll give them to

TWAIN'S vow OF SILENCE.
The HumOrist Says He Will Make No
More Speeches from the PHbIi"
Platform.

Mark Twain has retired from the
public platform for ever. His appear

received his degree of LII. D., was his
last as public speaker. On this oc-
casion he talked for nearly an hour
He was in brilliant mood. There was
flash in every word he uttered, and
and he proved the truth of the asser-
ton of Julian Hawthorne, that no man
m the world can handle joke for all
it is worth and bring it out SO forcibly
and clearly as Mark Twain
The audience laughed and laughed
again, but some Of them cried when the
speaker said in tones that shook with
suppressed emotion that he was bid

interviewed concerning the recent dis

TRANSACTIONS of his works have been
excluded by the Russian authorities,
Mark Twain was not bit worried. az

Russia has a great many Germans
in its population and is gradually Rus
sianizing them, and naturally it does
not wish any literature circulated that
would influence any of the people in
favor of monarchy.
"fn some Of my works I may have
said something that could have been
