ADJUSTMENTS
My Dear Juniors:

My Dear Juniors:
r SUPPOSE a great many of you
expect to be happy when school
Il is closed for the summer. Every
one likes vacations, and 1 am sure you
will each have good time this year,
but would like to know just how each
one of you is planning to spend the
two months Immediately following
school. Perhaps some of you have
some special study or art which you
will follow more persistently this sum-
mer, when relieved of the necessity of
preparing daily lessons at school,
The boys will no doubt work rather
hard at some of their fads 1 hope
many are planning to train along some
physical lines. to develop themselves
SO that they may grow to be strong and
active?
They will no doubt swim, and play
ball and tennis, and NOV the lawn, and
perhaps help in the garden awhile each
day. Write me about all of these
things, and also of any trips you ex-
pect to have.
The girls will have their music les
sons, and perhaps painting or drawing.
l hope every one of the Juniors, both
boys and girls, will keep up their draw
ing through the summer, for they have
made such progress along that line
within the past six months that it
would be unfortunate to give it up.
Some of the girls may take their turn
in the kitchen too, and relieve the
tired-out houseworker for a while, at
the same time putting the knowledge
acquired in cooking school to some
good advantage.
They may experiment little with
sewing, and l hope each one will take
this time to commence mending her
own stockings, if she has not done SO
before now. Beautiful darning is one
of the most charming of womanly ac-
complishments, and l wish 1 could look
in over the darning bag some day and
see my dear girls busily threading the
needle carfully back and forth, making
a smooth, even web in the place of the
ugly hole
Swimming and tennis are excellent
exercises for boys and girls, and they
will derive much enjoyment from either
of them, / am sure.
Before l close l want to speak of a
report which reached me the other day.
1t is that several of the boys and girls
are sending in work and getting prizes
and credit for it when in fact they
do not do it themselves.
1 hope this is a mistake. 1 would
not like to think that any one of you
would cheat in your work, and if any
of you have done this hope that from
now on you will resolve to do your
work yoursek and win prizes by your
own ability or not at all.
The announcement for the new prizes
will have to wait until some later date
before being announced, but they will
come soon, and 1 am sure you win
each be delighted with the arrangement
which is to be made for the summer.
Affectionately, AUNT LAURIE.

UNFINISHED STORIES

q DON after Clara's arrival at
y the rancho her Uncle Joe
NJ said: well, grille, you
must learn to ride bronco.
How does that strike you, eh?"
Clara clapped her hands in glee.
ooh, I'd just love to learn to ride
a horse" she declared. Wouldn't
mamma and papa be surprised to
hear that | could ride a bronco?
Oh, what jolly fun!'
well, we'll start tomorrow"
promised Uncle John.
The following morning Uncle
John called Clara to the ranch
house door. Come, City Girl"
he said, laughingly; ''here is your
mount. Come and have a peep az
him. Then make ready for your
first ride"
"All right, I'll be right there in
minute, said Clara, running to
her room to make ready for her
first ride. Within FIVE minutes
she was mounted on the pretty
little Texas pony, riding about
the yard, Uncle John staying
close by Swifty's bride. Swiftly
was the name of the little Texas
pony, the gentlest and safest of
her kind.
You're getting to be a fine
horsewoman," laughed Uncle
John. why, by this time next
week you'll be galloping all over
the ranch. | may employ you to
help round up the cattle this fall.
"Oh, I'll soon show you that |
can ride like the western girls,
Dragged Clara. 81 feel very safe
in the saddle already. It's such
fun to ride, isn't it ?"
But just as she spoke there was
lightning-like whirlwind COM
ing across the yard, and it caught
at some clothes that were hang
ing on a clothesline to dry, tear
ing away a thin white garment
and hurting it over Swifty's head.
The moments blindness, the flap
ping of the white thing over her
eyes, caused the animal sudden
fright.
Complete this story, describing
Clara's ride the places through which
the terrified bronco took her, whether
or not she was thrown from her saddle,
and if so, describe the circumstances.
Tell also of her further attempts in
learning to ride, and finally tell of her
last day of riding before she returned
to her city nome.
One prize, book, will be given in
this contest this week for the best COM
pleted story.
Write from $50 to $50 words, on one
side of the paper leaving margins at
The top and side of each page. Address
the letter neatly to Aunt Laurie, Los

VANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITY
LETTER IS RECEIVED.

| Secretary e. M. Haas OF the Com.
mercial club. is in receipt of a letter
from Charles Nagel, secretary of the
department Of commerce and labor at
Washington to the effect that an Am
erican exposition will be held in Ber-
lin, Germany from May to July, 1910.
The exposition will be confined
strictly to American products and will
be of material benefit in strengthen
ing the prestige of American indus
tries abroad and promoting the ex-
port trade Of the United States. It is
not probable that any local manufac-
turers will send exhibits OF their pro-
ducts to the exposition. The letter in
full is as follows:
Secretary Nagel's Letter.
Dear Sir:-As you are no doubt
aware, an American Exposition will
be held In Berlin, Germany, from May
to July, 1910. At the head of this
exposition is a committee consisting
United States. A committee has also
been formed in Berlin. whose honor
airy president is Prince Henry of Prus-
STA. The conditions governing the
exposition have been examined by the
bureau of manufactures and appear to
offer great opportunity to American
enterprise.
The central location of the city Of
Berlin. not only as the capital of the
German empire, but also with respect
to great part of northern, central,
and eastern Europe, assures a rare
opportunity for showing American
products abroad and for promoting
the export trade of the United States.
AS the exposition is to be confined
strictly to American products. it be-
comes a matter of national interest
to have the exhibits thoroughly COM
prehensive and of exceptional merit,
SO that the exposition may serve to
strengthen the prestige of American
industries abroad. In view of the fore
going. desire to bring this exposition
to your particular attention.
The committee is no doubt prepared
to answer all inquiries, but Mr.. John
M. Carson, chief OF the bureau Of
Manufactures, will be glad to give
further information whenever it is
within his power.
Very respectfully.
CHAS. NAGEL.
Secretary.

STEAMSHIP VERMlN,
The Way Ocean Liners Are Ria o.
Rats and Reaches.

The Way Ocean Liners Are Ria Of
Rats and Reaches. Y
Rat and roach catching at the steam,
er docks and on ocean liners is one Of
the queer ways men have OF making q
living. And good living they make
at 1t, too-sometimes as much as $1O,-
COO q year. The men who do it never
advertise, because the business does not
sound as well az 1t pays, and a man
whose house IL built out Of dead rats
and cockroaches would just as soon not
have his neighbors know 1t.
Once year docks and piers are turn
ed over to the rat catcher for a night.
The man who has made q fortune at
the business in New York still works
with his men, for the secret Of the bust
ness is his and he trusts it to no one
Rats run everywhere. but reaches have
q special liking for rope lockers, and
here they swarm by tens of thousands
unless the pier owners have a contract
with the rat and roach catcher, who,
after a thorough overhauling, guaran-
tees freedom from the pests for a year.
Whenever an ocean liner reaches port,
whether on this side or the other, 1t is
turned over for n night to this same
man. Cats do much toward keeping
ships clear Of rats, but, Of course, have
no effect on reaches. On this side Of
the Atlantic roach catching is the more
important branch Of the business, while
on the other side wharfs are almost
as full of rat catchers as the ships are
OF rats.
These once worked with ferrets, but
now they use chemicals. Large cage
like traps are used, In which lettuce
leaves are placed after being sprinkled
with q liquid-only the catcher knows
what
Whatever 1t is. it is as irresistible to
rats as the weird piping of the pied
piper was to the rats Of Hamelin town.
No matter how choice the food in the
lockers and In the hold, the rats leave
1t instantly when they smell the mys-
terious liquid Oh the lettuce leaves. 1t
does not kill the rats, and herein lies
another secret OF the profits Of the bust
ness. Live rats are worth money in
England, where they are used for train
ing terriers. Dead rats are worth mon
ey, too, as their skins are used for
gloves. At 5 or cents apiece, forty or
fifty rats mean something. and this IL
quite usual catch.
For reaches a powder Is used, but
what puzzles all old sailovs who used
to have the job Of clearing ships Of
reaches Is that there are never any
dead ones lying around next morning.
The favorite way Of the sailors when
they had to catch reaches was to put
4 cob of bread on top Of a coil Of
rope. Very quickly it would be covered
with hungry brown bugs. and these
they knocked into Z well creased bis
cult pan. The grease kept the reaches
from crawling up the sides, and 1t was
Z poor roach catcher who would not
have two or three inches Of reaches
when he was through. and In 4 few
days he could begin and do Il all over

Pavenents.

Another summer is drawing to a
close and we may soon expect pad
weather, yet some Of the brick pave
snents of Kenosha still look more like
"rocky roads, than brick pavements,
owing to the fact that the companies
or persons responsible for their repair
are procrastinators. The street de-
partment is doing the best it can with
the pavements around the catch basins,
but the main trouble lies in the center
or near the center of the streets. The
Prairie avenue pavement is particularly
bad, especially at Ashland avenue and
west of the G. & N. w. Ry. Co.'S main
tracks. The pavement has been pulled
up for the purpose of putting in the
telephone cables, the hot water system,
street car tracks and for sewer, water
and gas connections and the replacing
of the pavement has been very poorly
done. The plumbers and representa-
JINGS VI ING COlu PdnlOo C0POA'AHAN ~
the condition of the pavements are all
under bonds to relay all paving taken
up by them in manner satisfactory
to the city authorities, and the matter
has come before the council several
times in the past three years and com
mittees have been appointed, but still
the payements are in as poor condition
as ever and it begins to look as though
another year would go by and nothing
done to help the people and property
owners who paid for the paving. There
is no good reason why the paving
should not be put in first class condi-
ton so that visitors to Kenosha could
recognize it as a pavement and not
call it a good representation of cor
duroy road. Get busy, gentlemen of
the council and make somebody fix up
our pavements.
