NEW COMPANY Ut
Chicago Telephone Company Invades
Kenosha and Begins Building
Rural Lines for Farmers.
WILL NOT CROSS WISCONSIN CO.

A third telephone company has en-
tered the field in Kenosha county, and
yesterday the Chicago Telephone
company began the work Of building
a toll line to connect Chicago with
the big ice houses in the county. The
line will start from Genoa Junction,
and will run through the entire west
ern part of the county. It will take
in nearly every lake region in the
county, and while it will not be con-
nected directly with the Kenosha
lines, it will be possible for Kenosha
people to secure connections through
the Wisconsin Telephone company
lines. The line will be one of the
longest rural lines in the county. It
will extend from Genoa Junction to
Twin Lakes, and from that point to
Bassett's station. From Bassett's it
will be continued to Powers Lake
and from Powers Lake it will be ex-
tended to Chicago. The people of
Wilmot have made an effort to get a
connection with the line for Wi1not,
but Wi1mot has not as yet been in
cluded in the circuit.
This is one of the first rural phone
lines that has been built by the
Chicago Telephone company, and il
brings the Chicago company as a
competitor to the Wisconsin com
panies. The company will not com
pete with the Wisconsin Telephone
company, but it will come as COM
petitor to the independent companies
in the state. The company refused
to enter Wi1mot because such line
would interfere with the plans now
made by the Wisconsin company.
The lines of the Chicago company
are being well received by the farm
ers in the district, and many of them
are placing the instruments in their
homes.

The caution and conservatism Of the
average banker are proverbial. A little
story which I heard the other day
serves to illustrate the banking trait
to rather humorous degree. A man
I know had some paper to discount
He resides in one Of the larger towns
near Ptttsburg, and he called at GER
tain bank IN that town with his note
"Mr Blank" he said to the cashier,
II wish your bank would discount this
note for me- I can get So-and-so to In
dorse It and So-and-so and So-and-so,"
giving the names Of q score Of men
who, be stated, would be willing to put
their names to the back Of the note.
"All right" said the cashier in reply
Suppose you get them air
This reply took the man who wanted
the accommodation completely off his
feet So, picking up his hat he made
a profound bow to tie man with the
hoe-I mean the man with the dough
and replied IN tones of biting sarcasm:
my dear sir, l see your point exact
". What you want is petition, not a
note. Good afternoon, sir. -Ptttsburg

REINARDY PROTESTS
Compares His work with That Done Under
Previous Administrations.

| Editor EVENING NEws:-In your
paper of the 9th inst, there appeared
an article under the caption "The
Game Warden Scandal This article
was so manifest1y unfair to the game
warden, and so misleading to those of
your readers who are not posted re-
| garding raising ard expanding the
moneys used in the protection of fish
and game in this state, that I feel
constrained, in justice to myself, to
reply. In the first place, would call
your attention to the law governing
the protection of game. The law pro-
vides that all moneys received for
hunting licenses shall constitute a
fund for the payment of the game
wardens, and it expressly forbids the
use of any other moneys for this
purpose.
This ought to a11ay any fear that
the tax payers are being burdened by
the per diem and expenses of the
game Wardens. There is no tax levied
for this purpose, simply license of
one dollar, which is paid by the
hunter.
Any one at ali posted IN the matter
knows, and this can be confirmed by
writing to the State Treasurer, that
since the game laws we're enacted,
there has been steady increase in
the number of resident and nonresi-
dent licenses issued each year. In
Kenosha county this increase amount
ed to nearly fifty per cent last year.
Increasing the number of licenses
sold, makes it possible to give in
| creased protection to fish and game.
The protection is limited each year
by the number of licenses sold in the
state. Comparisons are odious, but
you have said in your article that
while the expenses of the game de-
partment were double under Governor
LaFo11ette' S administration than they
ever were before, under any other
administration, the fish and game GER
tain1y could not have been doub1y
protected. Perhaps not. Let us see.
In this county under Governor SEQ
fields administration, the warden
drew as his salary and expenses from
the state Of Wisconsin, for seven
months services, beginning June /,
1900, the sum of $1Oo2.11 or $1,000
more than the present warden drew
for the same time in 1908, under La
Fol1ette's administration, and the
records show that the former warden
did not make single arrest in that
particular length of time referred to
in your article.
| believe you called the article as it
appeared in your paper "The annual
report of expenditures for the pro-
lection of fish and game" Did you
ever print any such report while Sco-
field was governor?
Respectfully yours,
CHAS. REINARDY.

What Little Harry Was
Capable Of Doing Himself

"A TEACHER IN Kindergarten In
A Boston had among her pupils a
little chap of tender years named
Harry D. One morning Harry came to
school with the flush OF triumph on bis
face.
II can deth mythelf now" he said,
with a decided lisp.
''You can dress yourselfT' said the
teacher. why, what a smart little
boy you crep
Soon after the session OF the school
had begun up went Harry's hand.
"What is it, Harryp r asked the teach
eY.
II can deth my own theft"
you have already told me that"
said the teacher.
Twice Harry announced that he could
'Adeth himthelf," and when he an
nounced it for the third time the teach
eP said:
Nov, Harry. you have disobeyed me
twice, for j told you not to interrupt
me By saying again that you could
dress yourself. You may go behind
that screen in the corner and stay
there until I say that you can come
out"
Harry obeyed and moment later
two or three visitors were announced.
What charming lot Of little peo-
pie" said one Of the callers, ''and only
one vacant seat"
1.-THE little boy who sits there is
here" said the teacher IT had him
go behind that screen for a slight in
fraction OF the rules, but he may come
out now. Harry, dear, go back to your
seat"
Harry came forth, and, horrors, he
was clad In nothing but the simplicity

sTUDEBAKER THEATRE.

No more conclusive proof of the
emphatic success of the 'FSho-Gun'
could be found than the enthusiasm
shown by audiences that have been
packing the Studebaler theatre, Chi
cago, since this new George AIDE Gus
tav Luders comic opera was brought
out a trif1e more than week ago.
The music written by Mr.. Luders for
this opera is by all odds the best he
has yet turned out. The score is ex-
tremely tunefu1 throughout, while
there are several individual numbers
that are sure to prove as popular as
the gems that stood out in s'King
Dodo" and the "Prince Of P11sen. -
The song hit of sThe Shotgun seems
to be "She's Just Little Different, y
although II am Yours Truly and
"Litt1e Moo-Zoo May" are close sec
onds. The costumes are particularly
elaborate and wholly in keeping with
the atmosphere of the opera, while
the scenery is picturesque and quaint
1y oriental. The chorus also is a big
feature of this production, 1t is made
up of pretty faces and fresh young
voices which are heard to excellent
advantage in the ensembles. On the
whole 'sThe Shotgun" is proving a
delight to Chicago p1aygoers and it is
sure to enjoy long and prosperous
run at the Studebaker. DIV
