Water Is Transmitted by the Lake
Water Route to Waukegan.

ach ache and Kenosha was blamed for
it. In the last few weeks it was de-

their ailment to the water, and they
further lay the blame on Kenosha on
account of the fact that they claim
that chemicals dumped into the lake
from big plants at this place are di-
rectly responsible for the twinge in
the general stomach of Waukegan. 1t
is claimed that leading doctors of Wau-
kegan back the people up in their eff
fort to lay the blame on Kenosha.

posing as mana gers Of his campaign

It is a safe bet that Robert T Burke

What's all this excitement about any

employed in writing the injunction

VIII somebody near at hand please

THE CALL OF THE GOLD.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1903, by Edwin A. Nye.

DR.. Carl Eckstein of the University
of Chicago got tired of the complex
life of civilization and went to Idaho
to live the simple life.
DR.. Eckstein went far away from the
haunts OF men ana on the barren and
unfrequented side of a lake built him
self a shanty and Invested himself of
the clothes of civilization. He an
swered the call of the wild.
The desire to get away from every
body is an impulse that comes to all
betimes. Every day the doctor spent
two hours in the water He lounged on
the sandy beach by the hour He hunt
ed and fshed to the full He ate when
he was hungry and slept when he felt
like it. He obeyed only the primal in
stincts
So far so good.
But one day he had a shock He was
surprised in his wilderness-as much
surprised as was poor old Robinson
Crusoe when he came upon the human
footprints in the sand.
The learned doctor, who had turned
savage, one day accidentally stumbled
upon one of the richest gold mines ever
discovered in that part of the country.
Whew!
That discovery quickly changed his
point of view. 1t awoke in him the
dormant desire of the white man for
loot. Almost in the twinkling of an
eye the sight of the yellow nuggets
overcame the gentler teaching of Pas
tor Wagner's simple life and tie
primal joys of freedom.
Then DR.. Eekstein put on again the
garments of conventionality. 1t is re-
ported that he has sold his claim for a
fabulous sum. lie will go back to the
fatherland a millionaire. 1t is even
limited that Eckstein is negotiating for
a baronetcy.
He will try the gold cure for his en-
nut
The call of the gold was stronger
than the call of the wilderness.
Is that a reversion to type?
However that may be, the story il
Illustrates the age long struggle of hui
mainly forever oscillating between the
sordid and the ideal, forever drawn by
this call and that, like children chas-
ing phantoms.
Only when we get to heaven shall
we be absolutely sure of what we
really want.
