WORDS OF WISDOM.

It is a foolish fruit that kicks against
its root.
Some creed is the backbone of every
character.
\ coward never forgives; it is not
in his nature
Manners are the shadows of virtue.
Sydney Smith.
Nothing is so pleasing or so hOrrid
as the music Of your own harp.
Life is not so short, but there is al
ways time for courtesy.-Emcrson.
Eternal life is the only thing worth
living for in which there is no compe-
tition.
The existence of q few weeds is 10
argument for the rejection Of the whole
garden.
God is dark to some people because
they are on the wrong side of the pillar
of fire.
If the pearls of the virtues become rs
common as pebbles they would be less
valuable.
The private car may carry a heavy
heart while the day coach carries a
light one.
There is any quantity of gold in the
land, but we enjoy it most when the
other fellow digs for it.
Misunderstanding goes on like n
fallen stitch in a stocking. which in
the beginning may have been taken
up by needle.
If education be preparation for life
then should every child. from the be-
ginning. have daily experience of that
fact-Herbert Spencer.
The truth of nature is part of the
truth Of God. TO him who does not
search it out, darkness. as it is to him

ing up in manful purposes and works.
are the words of those that in their
day were men.
The habit OF blaming others when
things 90 wrong is an insiduOus and
dangerous one. Far more is it the
purpose to inquire within whether the
fault, or much of it, may not lie ut
home.
AS the lights of heaven are put out

stated to the representative of the
city that it was willing to put in the

the crossing was put in the cost of the
work would have to be paid by the
peop1esasking for the opening of the
street. The managers of the COM

rule of the company in dealing with
such questions and that no change in
policy could be made in this particu-
lar case. The cost of the crossing
will be in the neighborhood of 1920

REGIMENT TO DECIDE

Capt. E. G.. Tinme of this city, who

interview yesterday in regard to the
fight that has been raised against the
return of the flag captured by the
First Wisconsin Infantry from the
First Tennessee regiment of the Con-

Capt. Timme states that he had no
idea that'any of the old boys would
oppose the return of the flag, but that
If such was the case he would not re-
turn it to Tennessee without the con-
sent CT the officials Of the First regi-
ment. In his interview Capt. Timme
said
"The report that I have a captured
battlefag in my possession is true. It
was taken by the First Wisconsin
regiment at the battle of Perryvi11e.
The flag was sent by the regiment to
the then governor of Wisconsin, and

son. Years afterward, when there
were changes made in the locations

Bold SWindIers Manage to Work
Waukegan Merchants With
Kenosha Bank Checks.
F0RGERS MANAGE TO ESCAPE
Secured $117.5O on Worthless Checks,
Which We're Returned When Sent
Here for Collection.

Just one lone Swind1er from Keno
sha landed on Waukegan Wednesday,
and as a result of his manipu1ations
he managed to get away with Sly. SO,
taken from the Golfers of two of the
leading merchants of the village to
the south. The game was one of the
worst ever seen in this section of the
country and shows conc1usively that
the Waukegan people are several
years behind the times.
The man gave his name as Ander-
son and'had full day of it in Wauke
gan. He got in Wednesday morning
and his most noticeable asset was a
package of the discarded checks which
had been used at the old bank in the
village of Salem in this county. The
bank closed up more than year ago,
but it is possible that the discarded
checksfhave been scattered far and
wide. Anderson began his crusade in
Waukegan at the store of Harry
Roseb1un1. He went boldly into the
store and made a small purchase.
Then he began the bluff. He stated
that he had no change with the ex-
ception of check for the sum of
$58.75 given to man by the name of
Petersen and properly endorsed to
Anderson.
The store proprietor stated that he
would be perfectly willing to cash the
check, and Anderson left the store
with fifty-fve dollars in change and
the knowledge that his plan was
working fine. He then visited an
other large mercantile establishment
andaamanaged to work the same game,
making him a hundred and ten dol
lars to the good, to say nothing of
few little articles of male and female
wearing apparel.
This was Anderson's time to duck,
and he stro11ed 1eisure1y to the North
Western station and took train for
the north, supposedly to Kenosha.
By this time he has probably buried
himself in the wi1ds of the town of
Salem and it will be difficult for the
officers to locate him.
The checks were sent for collection
to local bank Thursday, and smile
played over the faces of. the officials
as they discovered the gu1libility of
the Waukegan people. The checks
were promptly returned, and the
facts in the case stated.
Chief Reino1d and his men are now
making an effort to locate the fellow,
but it is not an easy matter, and the
man has probably escaped. Ander-
son is not known in Kenosha.

DOG KILLS SHEEP.

Areport coming from the western
part OF the county states that dogs
have invaded the f1ocks in that sec

havoc with them. Nineteen sheep
were killed in single flock, and many
of the farmers announce that they
have lost four or five head Of sheep.
The farmers are planning to organize
and the dog that gets out of the dis
trict without being killed will be
fortunate.

NOT SEEKING HUSBANDS.
How the Bristol Girls Tell of the Meet

ing of the bachelor Girls"
The editor of this paper has re-
ceived the following letter from
certain young ladies of Bristol who
are c1assed as members of the '1Bach-
elor Club of that village:
"In the last weeks issue of the
Te1egraph-Courier appeared a short
article mentioned the Old Maid S
League of Salem and likewise calling
the attention of the public to the fact
that four of our well known young
ladies had made application for mem
bership in this society. Nothing could
be more perfect falsehood. In the
first place the Old Maids club of
Salem is a strictly local society, and
while it's aim is the getting of hus-
bands, nevertheless it is not seeking
to enroll the young ladies of neigh
boring towns to aid in the hunt. We
think that the reporter who penned
last weeks article got the Bachelor
Girls Club of Bristol and the Old
Maids Club of Salem badly mixed.
The Bachelor Girls, composed of the
following members, Misses Edith
Murdoch, Emma Castle, Grace Ellis,
Name Bacon, Ethel Jackson, Alice
Stevens, Lula Robottom and Elsie
Gray, organized some four years ago
as purely social club and the name
Bachelor Girls" was chosen. Since
the organization many articles have
been written announcing that the
girls had taken vow never to marry.
This is an error as two of it's members
are now married. But the idea that
our young ladies have to join club
to get husbands is an erroneous one
for it is a we'll known fact that all of
these girls have had chances to marry
and have either accepted or refused.
