Why He Was Called Literary.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is a great
reader of modern novels. Recently, it
will be remembered, he RECALLED his
Bible class with a series Of excerpts
from g. II. Lorimer's Letters from
a Self-Made Merchant to His Son."
More recently still Mr.. Rockefeller en-
tertained for several days one of the
best known Of American novelists.
This novelist has the habit of leav-
ing books and papers lying around
him in great confusion, and one day
Mr.. Rockefeller overheard a maid-serv-
ant comment upon his friends care
lessness somewhat humorously.
1.-THE gentleman is literary, is he?"
said the maid. well, l suppose they
call him that because he is always
making a litter.-Roston Post.

The little touch of discipline given
one of the carriers will have good
effect on the whole force. Accord
ng to the statements of the men now
employed, there is too much business
done through the office for anybody
to have time to loaf, but these in
fractions of the rules of the depart
ment are not going to make it any
easier for the postmaster to secure
additional help, and Judging from the
kicks being made on the service
either more help or more work by the
present force is needed. The em-
p1oyes say more men are needed to do
the work properly, but if any more of
them are caught 1oafng the public
may conclude that they themselves
are at fault.

DIR. Ell. A. Robinson Begins the Work of
Erecting Big Flat Building
The first modern brick fiat building
to be erected in Kenosha, will be the
property of DR.. H. A. Robinson, and
the work of making the excavations
for the buildings was started this
morning. The building will be 1oca-
ted on Park avenue, just across the
street from ST. Matthew's church. 1t
will be of brick three stories in height,
the dimensions being % by 90 feet.
The building will contain three flats,
each flat containing eight rooms and
a bath. The plans for the building
have been made by Chandler & Parks,
of Racine, and it is claimed that the
building will be modelled after the
Chicago flat buildings. The work on
the new fiat building is to be COM
pleted by the middle of November.

Only Two ROYAL Reflections.

The Viceroys of Ireland and India
are the only two officials who may be
said to directly represent his majesty
and who possess certain privileges
usually only pertaining to royalty. The
dignity Of the Indian viceroy's court
had somewhat declined until Lora
Curzon, who was a very strict disc1-
plinarian in the matter of etiquette,
took up the reins of government, and
under his rule many ancient customs
and ceremonies were revived. The ell
quette Of the Irish viceroy's court has
always been strictly maintained,
though to the majority of the Irish peo-
pie Dublin castle is more of a political
than social influence. Chicago Record

THE necessary repairs to the break
water can be made this summer at
little expense, but if the matter is
neglected much longer the repair
bill is likely to put crinp in the
city's finances when the work finally
has to be done. There are no very
bad breaks but the whole frontage is
in need of genera. overhau1ing, and
if the matter is attended to in time
the breakwater can be made to last a
good many years yet.

FINE FARMING LANDS.

A large number of new tracts of
fine timber and farming lands Just
opened in Marathon county. Many
Kenosha parties have purchased lands
in Marathon county and they are de-
lighted with the prospects and with
the gains on their investments. Mara
thon county has stood at the head of
the dairy interests of the state for
several years and is rapidly becoming
one of the foremost in agriculture and
manufa cture. Splendid returns on
investments guaranteed. It costs you
nothing to see these lands. Free ex-
cursipns for purchasers. A rare
chance for a poor man to secure a
home for himself at a reasonable cost.
All these lands are accessible to rail-
roads, telegraph and telephone faci1i-
ties and have good roads.
A ready sale at good price for all
timber cut from the lands. Don't fail
to investigate these bargains. Call

SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Second List Issued by the American
Merchants Protective Association
Contains Over 400 Names.
THE WORK IS WELL UNDER WAY

A month ago when the Merchants
Protective association issued it's first
list of delinquent debtors in Kenosha
the list contained something like a
hundred and fifty names, but the
second list of the company, which
was issued today, was sufficient to
send thrill through the breasts of
the dead beats" in the city. The
list contains more than four hundred
names, and what is more to the point,
it is thorough list of de1inquents in
the city. The former list contained a
few we'll known names, but the list
issued today is filled with them. Few
people who avoid the payment of bills
when due have escaped from the
clutches of the association, and the
list contains many names well known
to business and professional men of
the city.
The company has now got down to
a working basis and the list shows
that almost every business in the city
is reporting to the company the list of
people who refuse to pay their debts.
Since the issue of the last list few
of the names of chronic debtors have
been cut off, but the additions more
than make up for any erasures that
have been made.
The company is pushing the co11ec-
ton business in Kenosha at a great
rate and the manager promises to
make great clean up in the city in a
short time.

THE managers and directors of the
hospital have done wonders with the
comparatively limited means at their
disposal, and the institution is one of
which all Kenosha is proud. It has
demonstrated it's usefulness to the
community, and its growth and de-
ve1opment along all lines is now only
a question of time. The directors
and the members Of the association
hope that within few years the hos
pita1 will be in a position to care for
all the patients in Kenosha city and
county, many of whom are now
obliged to seek accommodations in
Chicago or Milwaukee hospitals and
from the progress made during the
last year it would seem that their
hopes are in fair way to be realized.

Manager Breen of the Kenosha

for series of three games with the

that the series will be arranged.
They wi11ssin no way interfere with

Teachers Meeting.

On Saturday, Oct. o., the first
county teachers meeting of the
year was held in the High School
rooms. The meeting was called to
order by Supt. E. D. Wood at IL.
20 and F. R. Sherwood appointed
Secretary. Two papers were read
and discussed at the morning ses-.
sion,-"Language Training in the
Lower Grades" by Miss Kate
Muhmel, and "School Decoration"
by Miss Farmer of Tyndall. These
were discussed by the various
teachers present,-the keynote of
the former being that the basis of
language training lies in observa-
ton work, literature, and art, while
the latter laid stress on making the
school-room attractive and home
like.
The afternoon session was also
filled with good things. Mrs.
Washburn read a paper on "The
Personality of the Teacher" which
would certainly convince anyskep
tic that the teacher has something
to do beside "keep school, from
nine O'Clock until four. The sub
ject of "Drawing" was admirably
discussed by Miss Nina Campbell
who notonly pointed out the benefits
derived from the study of Drawing
butalso gave some very helpful sug-
gestions as to methods in teaching
it. "Number Work in the Lower
Grades" was the subject of a splen-
did paper by Mrs. Miller. She ad-
vocated the use Of objects in the
early teaching of numbers followed
by plenty of wholesome, practical,
common sense drill. Supt. Wood
gave an interesting talk on "Grad-
ing County Schools" after which q
chorus, composed Of girls from the
High School room, sang "Octo'
, bers Bright Blue Weather" The
"question box" conducted b!
3 supt. Lehr, was next in order ant

tendance in the afternoon was very
good, but there are several country
teachers in the vicinity whose pre-
sence was not manifest. These
meetings are of special interest
and help to teachers and not one
should be missed by any one who
deigns himself a teacher. It helps
you out Of the ruts, rounds off the
corners, and you will fit better in
that little school room than you
did last year. Not only teachers,
but all who are interested in Edu-

will get or be able to give some
thing helpful. Get acquainted
