Former Teacher in kenosha Has
a Taste of the Tickle
Smile of Fortune.
IRON AT NORTH FREEDOM
Big Company Buys Fountain Patent
and Pays Inventor 100000
Things Coming His Way.

Professor Robert E. Dickie, former
first assistant in the Kenosha High
school, is having splendid Irritation
with dame Fortune and he promises
to come out of the Irritation a very
wealthy man. When Mr.. Dickie gave
up his school work to retire to farm
near North Freedom some of his as
sociates in Kenosha smiled b1and1y
and decided that he had decided to
bury himself in the rural life of the
country, but recent developments
show that Dickie knew thing or two
about land near North Freedom, and
his patrimony promises to be very
valuable The land which was left in
charge of Mr.. Dickey at the time of
the death of his father is on the iron
ridge and during the last few weeks
it has been discovered that it is rich
in ore-so rich, in fact, that it has at
tracted the attention of big eastern
company, and the managers of the
company have closed a deal for an
option on the property by which they
agree to pay the former Kenosha
teacher S125,O0O for the land. To
start the work of looking up the vein
of iron on the land the company has
paid to Mr.. Dickie $1,000 for the right
of prospecting. The farm is not a
large one by any means, but the
money received from it will make Mr..
Dickie Independently wealthy.
But this is not all of it, for Mr..
Dickie has had another stroke of luck.
While he was teaching physics in the
laboratory of the Kenosha schools
Mr.. Dickey gave uphis spare time to
working on plan for the making of
pleted and a number of them were
manufactured by novelty company
and sold to people in Kenosha. Few
of the friends of Mr.. Dickie recog-
nized the value of the invention and
now it has been sold to a fountain
pen company in New York for the
sum of $4,000. Mr.. Dickie will also
receive a royalty from the company.
He is now at work on an Improvement
in the pen and it is probable that he
will receive even a greater sum for
the improved article.
With everything coming his way it
is hardly probable that Mr.. Dickie
will ever return to claim the position
that is being kept for him in the
schools of Kenosha.

FRED PETIT In FORM
Former State Champion Captures
the Labor Day Trophy on
the kenosha Links
GREAT DAY FOR GOLF PLAYERS

Former State Champion Fred Petit
showed some of his o1d-time clever
ness as a golfer Monday afternoon,
when bset won the Allen cup on the
links Of the Country club with score
of T63 for the SO holes. The race for
the Allen cup was one of the best of
the year on the local links, and all the
better golfers of the club were in the
match. w. H. Yu1e had the better of
the morning play, but in the afternoon
play Petit went out and returned
with card of 70, while Yu1e fell way
down to 81, and Petit was eight
strokes to the good on the round.
Labor Day was the biggest Day of
the year on the links. There were
matches for all sorts of men and
women, and anyone who could swing
club could find something to amuse
him. The class matches were won by
A. H. Lance and Frank S1osson.
The BLIND DOGGY match for the ladies
of the club attracted a great deal of
attention. Miss Helen Theirs won the
match with score of 81, DOGGY being
drawn at 49.
The surprise of the days play came
in the defeat of Miss Annis Palmatier
in the semi-fna1 match of the Labor
Day handicap for women. Miss Pal
matter conceded Mrs. G. A. Yu1e
eight strokes, and the latter won by a
score OF two up one to play.
The day proved great day for So
ciety at the club house, and both
luncheon and supper were served.
The summary of the matches during
the day follows:

BITTEN BY A, DOG
Bernard Miller, of Racine, Attacked by
Dog in Kenosha Monday Evening.

Dog in Kenosha Monday Evening.
Bernard Miller, an eight-year old
Racine boy who was visiting the fam
lily of Alderman Joseph Thomas on
Monday, was seriously injured Mon
day afternoon by being bitten by
hunting dog belonging to William
Stemn, who resides near the Thomas
home, on Milwaukee avenue. The boy
had been playing with the dog during
the afternoon, and the dog became
angry and 1eaped at him. The dog
planted his teeth in the right cheek
Of the boy, decorating the flesh and
causing long wound. DR.. Adams, of
the Sanitarium, was called to dress
the wound, and it required several
stitches to close it.
1t is not thought that the dog was
suffering from rabies, and the doctors
seem to be of the opinion that there is
no danger of hydrophobia.

HARVEST HOME PICNIC.

The harvest home picnic given by
The Dania socity at Anderson park on
Sunday proved to be one of the most
novel social events ever seen in Ke-

all afternoon and ali evening, and if
anyone went away without having
their fill of amusement it was not the
fault Of the hosts. The park was
crowded during the day, and in the
evening large number attended the
dance which closed the festivities.

Without Regaining Consciousness.

Miss Mary A. Carey, who was over

Thursday night or Friday morning,
passed away at the home of her sister
at half-past 10 o'clock Sunday morn

hours OF life it was almost impossible
to tell whether the patient was alive
or dead.
Miss Carey was in her Oath year and
had resided in Kenosha for many

NEW USE FOR ALUMINIUM,
In Europe It Replaces Wood in the
Manufacture of Bobbins for
Large Factories.

According to La tallurgie, at recent
meeting OF the ''Societe dEncourage-
ment pour pIndustre National" an in
teresting paper was read on the substi-
tuition of aluminium for wood in the ma
chinery of spinning mills, reports Con-
sui Guenther. In the textile INDUSTRIES
spinning, dyeing and silk weaving,
among others-a wooden bobbin is gen.
orally used. This is cheap and easily
worked, but it has many drawbacks.
Being very hygrometric, it suffers from
variations of temperature; this accounts
for the fact that in spinning factories
where the atmosphere is full of humidity
the bobbins revolve irregularly, causing
jerks which slacken the speed and oc-
casion the threads to break. The
result is waste of stuff and loss of time
in joining the threads again. 1t has been
proposed to substitute aluminium for
wood. Bobbins made of this metal re-
volve in any temperature and any de-
gree Of humidity; their relative light
ness Give aluminium bobbins weigh no
more than two wooden ones) allow the
machines carrying them to move more
quickly, or an equal speed may be OBJ
tanned at less expense Of motive power;
finally, the smaller volume of the bob
bins diminishes the cost of transport.
1t was stated that several firms had
adopted the use of aluminium bobbins
and had found that they possessed many
advantages.

REQUIRES SOME PRACTICE.
a Trick Which Is Not Only Amusing
But Has Considerable Scien-
tific Value.

You can surprise people very much by
laying your hand, with apparent care
lessness, on a tumbler or wine glass
nearly full of water, and then lifting
glass, water and all by raising your
hand, with the fingers outstretched in
order to prove that you do not take hold
of the glass in any way. Probably
there will be some people whom you will
not surprise. They will say: "Oh, that's
easy" try to do the trick themselves
and fail.
The secret of success is this: Though
your fingers are straight down when
you lift the glass, they must be bent
downward sharply when you place your
palm upon it. You must press your
hand down rather firmly in order to
make an alright joint between it and
the rim Of the glass, which should be
wet to make the joint tighter Now
suddenly straighten your fingers and lift
your hand. This motion of the fingers
causes the flesh of the palm to move in

CHLOROFORM FOR PLANTS,
Applied by Scientific Horticulturists
for the Purpose Of Making
Them Bloom Early.

The florist who is first in the market
with seasonable blossoms can command
extraordinary prices for his product.
Consequently, experiments are constant
ly being made in greenhouses in the d.
rection Of forcing" early blooms.
Quite recently scientific horticulturists
have learned that plants are extremely
sensitive to the effects of anesthetics,
and that the fumes of ether, for example,
will cause their blossoms to develop sew
eral days earlier than in the course of
nature.
The discoverer of this interesting fact
is Johannsen, of Copenhagen. The ac-
ton of the vapor of chloroform and that
of ether in arresting the movements of
the leaflets of the sensitive plant (mimo-
say have long been known, but the action
has been considered to be purely local.
Johannsen's experiments have been
repeated on large scale in Germany and
In France, the general method of pro-
cedure being the following: In case,
as nearly air tight as possible, the lilac
bushes are placed at temperature of
about 65 degrees Fahrenheit Light is
excluded. From the top of the case is
suspended small cup into which the
ether is poured by means of a funnel
through an aperture made for the pur-
pose, and Immediately closed. Owing to
the explosive nature of the vapor the
greatest care must be taken to avoid the
presence of any fame. Thirty or 40
grams of ether are enough for 100 cubic
liters of air. The plants are subjected
to the influence of the vapor for 48 hours.
On their removal from the ether cham
Der the leaves fall, if they have not al
ready done so. The plants are then re-
moved to cool house and gradually sub
jected to forcing in the ordinary manner.
By these means the expansion of the
blooms is fastened, the etherized plants
producing their blooms several days be-
fore those treated in the ordinary man
ner. The gain of few days is matter
Of great Importance to the grower for
market in the winter season, as he gets
so much better price for his goods.
Moreover, the cost of fuel is reduced, for
the same amount of heat is not required
for forcing, as we have seen that the
time required is diminished. Not only
lilacs, but many other Towering shrubs
have been experimental upon, and with
such good results that the process has
been adopted on large scale.

SMUGGLING A FINE ART.
Pseudo Count and Countess in Auto
Found to Be Notorious
Offenders,

The latest thing in smuggling comes
from the Swiss frontier, where the art
of bringing in contraband goods BY
automobiles has been DEVELOPED into a
fine art
A party of finely dressed tourists,
presumably count and countess with
friend, has been crossing the frontier
repeatedly.
The suspicious of the authorities
were at last aroused. The automobile
was stopped and searched and the
pseudo count and countess were found
to be notorious smugglers.
Their fine raiment as we'll as their
automobile was simply loaded with
all sorts of dutiable stuff.
Investigations hereafter are likely
to be more severe than ever.

a suction which you can feel distinctly.
The space between the water and your
hand is made little larger, and, there
fore, the air in that space is rarefied or
made thinner, and exerts less pressure.
Therefore, the greater air pressure out
side acting on the bottom and sides of
the glass forces it upward against your
hand strongly enough to lift both glass
and water when you raise your hand.
The trick requires some practice be-
fore it can be done with certainty, and
had better not be attempted with very
thin or valuable glass or in a place
where spilled water will do harm.
Above all, do not use very thin glass,
for even ii it does not drop, you may
break it by mere pressure of your hand.
Besides, thin glasses are very apt to have
little hicks in the edge which will both
cut you and spoil the trick by letting in
air.
The glass must be small one, as it
has to be we'll covered by the palm of
your hand. An egg cup or wine glass
with stem is best. If you use tumbler
which, being small in diameter, will
probably be not very tall-you will have
to hold it in the other hand or set it on
an inverted tumbler or block of wood
| in order to get room to bend your fingers
down properly.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says the trick
seems especially difficult because the
hand is fiat and the glass nearly full of
water, but these are the very things that
make it possible. You cannot lift the
glass with your fingers bent-unless, of
course, you actually take hold of it-as
it is the Strengthening Of the fingers that
causes the suction

about in any shape to suit the face Of the
wearer. Draped round the crown, and
tied in smart windmill bow on one
side, there is wide scarf of soft satin
ribbon which should be arranged, SO far
as color goes, in some shade to match
the frock with which the hat will be
worn. White ribbon would perhaps be
safest, as the hat would then look well
with any frock. A long white ostrich
1eather, dropping over on one side of
the crown, gives q finishing touch to
this pretty hat. .*<
The hat sketched at the top right
hand corner of the picture is intended
Tor younger girl, say, about II or IL
years OF age. It should be made with
crown of plain white muslin and a
wide brim, formed of very full frill of
embroidered muslin. Or it might be ar
ranged with crown of ecru esprit net,
and a gathered frill of lace, in the same
shade of ecru. A band of ribbon, about
an inch and a half wide, is folded round
the crown, and tied with long loops that
TALL over the hair at the back. The
pretty hat shown in our remaining H.
lustration is INTENDED for rather an
older girl, and might be worn at the
seaside or on the river, or for any of
those garden parties to which the young
girls OF the family are sometimes in
vited, betnre they are actually out. This
hat Is made in fine sun-burnt straw of
soft and pliable kind, with a wide
brim bound at the edge with very mar
row border of black velvet ribbon. The
crown Is almost hidden under giant
rose which IL made of very soft pale pink
satin ribbon, folded and wired into tho
shape of the flower. The pale green
leaves, which form quite a mass of
foliage, surrounding the rose, are made
also OF satin ribbon in the same way.
1t Is almost impossible, speaking gen
orally, to improve upon the time-hon-

serges, either navy, electric blue, or
white, nothing can he heater or better
for young girl than REFER coat and a
short walking skirt, fairly full, but
made without any heavy plaits or tucks
to add to its weight and to inconvenience
the wearer, should she feel inclined to
undertake walking or even climbing e.
petitions.
As far as the blouses are concerned
to be worn with these coats and skirts.
there is simply an endless variety this
season from which to choose. Prettiest
of all perhaps among those which are
specially suitable for girls are the
blouses in white, Irish linen, worked
with hand e1nbroideries in dainty floral
designs carried out entirely in soft
white thread. These blouses can be
bought quite cheaply, unmade, and with
pieces of the embroidery for the collar
and cuffs, as we'll as for the fronts of the
blouse. Once bought, they will prove
an excellent investment, as they will
wash and wear literally for years..
Dainty blouses can be made too in floral
muslins and in mercerized silks, as well
