The following little item from the
Groton, Vermont, paper is published
merely to show that Kenosha is not the
only city imposed upon by the wander
ing Willies and in the hope that some
Of them may see it and conclude that
the pickings are better further east.
The item says:
The Times enters protest against
the present method that Groton takes
with tramps. At present they are
given loaf Of bread and can Of sal
mon or piece Of cheese and directed
to the lookup, where they find a door
open to receive them. They build a
fire, make themselves at home, and go
whenever and wherever they like. If
this continues Groton will be the
tramps headquarters and the village
at their mercy

kenosha Gas & Electric Company
Announces Reduction in Cost
of Gas for Next Month
NO DOLLAR AT THIS TINE
Company However Will Cut Price fo1
All Consumers Thirty Gents on
the Thousand and Larger
Cut for Big Users

Users Of gas in Kenosha will have
a reduction in their bills after the
first of next month as the general
manager Of the company forwarded to
Madison Thursday for the consid-
GRAFTON of the Wisconsin Railway Com
mission a new schedule Of rates for the
sale of gas in Kenosha. The new
schedule does not provide for the sin
gle meter system as had been sug-
gested by many people who had taken
an interest in the contest for lower
rates for gas consumers, but it does
provide for a considerable reduction
in the cost of illuminating gas and this
reduction applies to the small as well
as the large consumer.
Under the new rates Illuminating
Gas will not be of the "Dollar' sort,
but if the bills are paid before the
tenth of the succeeding month the
charge will be $l.20 per thousand cubic
per thousand over the amount that is
now being charged. This rate is for
all consumers of 5000 cubic feet or less
and consumers who use over that
amount will be supplied at the coveted
dollar rate. The charge for fuel gas
is $1.00 per the first ten thousand
cubic feet, 80 cents for the next
10000 cubic feet and all over 10000
cubic feet is supplied at the rate OF
so cents per thousand. These rates
are all to go into effect on the first
day Of June if they receive the ap-
prevail of the Railway Commission.
Copies Of the rates have also been
filed with the city attorney and with
members of the committee which went
to Madison to talk over the matter of
reduced rates with the Railway Com
mission. The company has also pre-
pared schedule for an industrial rate,
but this is identical with the rate
charged for fuel gas.
It is generally believed that the Keno
sha Gas Company is now controlled by
the same syndicate which controls the
companies in Milwaukee and Racine
and while the rates furnished here are
not quite as low as they are in Mil
,waukee it is said that they compare
favorably with those in any city Of the
state of the size of Kenosha. It is
claimed that under these rates the com
pany will be able to earn about six
per cent on an investment of $685., 470
as valued by the State Commission
Manager Kimbail of the company was
for some time in correspondence with
various companies throughout the state
securing figures on which to base the
new Kenosha rate ands these were sup
plemented by the figures furnished to
the city by the Railroad Commission
These figures formed the basis Of com
putation in reaching the new schedule
It is claimed by the officials of the
company that with "dollar' gas to
all consumers it would be impossible
for the company to earn more than
1896 per cent on the investment as
fixed by the State Commission. It is
generally thought that this reduction
in the rates for gas coupled with the
reduction recently made in the rate fol-
electric lighting and power will result
in the long continued examination be
fore the Commission being dropped.

charging you. Put the money in your
pocket and keep still. Now set that
signal-quickl"
The deep-toned warning sounded
again, now almost on Uranium.
''But YOUi" said the operator, still
hesitating, as he stood with one hand
on the signal switch and the other
clutching the money. They VIII ar.
rest you when you get to New York" "
I'm New York / can take care OF
myself Quick-quickl"
It was done In an instant. The RED
flash of fire shone in the engineer
eyes as the train bore down on the
station, and with a tremendous creak-
ing of brakes and kissing of steam the
Limited came to stop with the last
car abreast of the depot. Van Tasei
clambered aboard as porter opeheu
a yestibule to sec what was up.
Take him along" yelled the oper,
ator. Hes insanel If you don't he'll
blow up the Limited"
They let Van Tasel very much alone
during the trip to New York. he Iouhu
a seat In the parior car, but no one
came to collect his fare, though ne saw
the conductor and rear brakeman talk
ing earnestly together as they eyed MN
suTreptitiously. Lunatics are good per-
sons to let alone He satisfied his ap-
petite In the cafe car, and the walters
danced attendance, serving the choicest
viands the railroads stores AFFORDED:
Crazy men are often good eaters. and
while they are eating they can't be
blowing up trains or numbering the
dining-car men.
When the Limited pulled into Grand
Central station Van Tasel got out with
the rest. A brakeman who mad peen
helping a fat woman off just ahead OF
him stepped back and gave him free
passage. The conductor politely let
him 90 by. Men with nitroglycerine IN
their pockets and disordered brains IN
their heads are best handled by the po-
lice.
Van Tasel had no doubt that the Cra-
MUM operator had wired the train dis
patcher a full account of the narrow
escape of the Limited, and he shrewoiy
imagined that New York's blue-coated
guardians would be awaiting him on
the other side OF the gate. However.
Van Tasel had been in tighter places.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HoUsEkEEPER

Allow a rich fruit cake to stand in a
cold place-the Ice box is best-for three
days after mixing and before baking.
In making candies, custards, gravies,
ETC., where the recipe calls for butter,
add the butter after the dish has been
removed from the fire, as the butte-
thereby retains Its delicate flavor and
adds to the richness of the dish.
Store eggs In a dry, cool place; they
will keep better and when beaten froth
more easily than IL warm.
Give a new laid egg about half
minute more to boil than one which has
been laid some hours before.
Eggs with dark brown shells are said
to be richer in flavor and larger OF yoik
than white eggs.
Occasionally q recipe calls for
pound or half a pound OF eggs. Then
common-sized eggs weigh one pound.
The straw OF new broom Will be
toughened by immersing II in salt wa
ter or soap suds for several hours. Re-
peat this treatment twice month, and
you will be surprised how much longer
the broom will wear.
When oiling a floor apply iinseed oil
hot instead of cold, and the wood VIII
absorb more oil and look well nearly
twice as long as when cold oil Is used.
A lump of gum camphor placed in a
drawer or box where steel ornaments
are kept will keep them from tarnish~
ing.
II you happen to have an old silver
caster in the attic, clean 1t up and NIL
with thumb pots green with ferns. 1t
makes a pretty and attractive oriia-
ment.
So many housekeepers have had their
handsome trays ruined by hot dishes
that they will be pleased to welcome
the new glass covered trays and tables.
The trays can be made in any shape or
size.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-26

AS a soldier OF fortune he had not been
deferred by tribes from having his way.
Besides, he had the advantage OF being
six-feet-two in his stockings and Of
possessing two hundred pounds, largely
muscle. At Harvard he had been the
10y of the football team.
OF course Van Tasel had no fear OF
a lunatic asylum, for disclosure OF
his identity would quickly clear him.
A heavy stockholder in the railroad
could scarcely be jailed for wanting
to ride to New York on his own Linn
tied, and, besides, people knew Van
Tasel and his strenuous methods.
Nevertheless. he preferred to escape
a publicity which must necessarily be
annoying to Mildred Boltwood. He had
no intention of falling, even tempo
rarily, into the hands of the police.
When Van Tasel made up his mind
to do a thing he did 1t by short cuts.
AS he neared the fence with the crowd
he suddenly changed his course and
bolted through an incoming gate, with
only the keeper beside 1t. A few
strides took him to the outer doors Of
the station. A cab was going by and
Van Tasel was inside with a bound,
shouting to the driver:
ITO the Pennsylvania ferry! A hfty-
dollar bill II you make Il In twenty
minutes"
OF course he had no intention OF go
ing to the ferry, but 1t might be con-

Chalet roofs are Of two different pat
terns-the high steep roof and the
broad low roof. They are used indis-
criminately In chalet designing in ac-
cordance with individual tastes. The
cost of chalets shows much the same
range that obtains In the case OF bum
galows. Some have been built at an
outlay as low as $4,000. but for the
most part the prices range from $1,000
to $1,000, and there is in this country
one seventeen-room chalet that repre-
sents an investment of more than
$4,000.
OF unusual interest is the chalet at
Pasadena which now constitutes the
home of Mrs. James A. Garfield, the
home of the late president OF the
United States. The entire interior Is
sheathed with cedar shingles, left in
the natural color and partly oiled. The
roof, details OF the porch, the heavy
brackets that serve as supports for the
wide caves, and the castings OF the win
dows and doors are all Of rough unsur-
faced lumber stained a rich velvety
brown. The huge exposed chimney at
one side Of the chalet is built OF cob
blestones and clinker bricks.-Keith's
Magazine.

An Artistic Den

Dull red and green are the two colors
most satisfactory for den, and II one
cannot have leather furniture In these
shades, upholstered pieces In oriental
effects would be fair substitute. Ev-
cry article of furniture in the room
should suggest usefulness as well as
comfort, and for that reason chairs
should he large, a lounge should be
piled with cushions, and there shoulo
be one or more tables, substantial IN
appearance, with room for books, smok-
ing materials, work or whatever one
may need or wish to have on them.
On the walls of such a den paper
Of soft, dull red would be suitable.
Burlap is not practicable for den: Inc
baseboard, doors, windows, etc, should
be finished In dark oak or mahogany.
If the floor Is not smooth enough 70
be finished with shellac or varnish, IL
should be covered with some plain ma
terial like the carpet substitutes which
wash like oilcloth. These materials are
well suited to a den or billiard room
and are made In different colors. What-
ever is chosen should be entireyl plain.
Figures on the floor of a den are not
appropriate except in rugs, and II Is
taken for granted that rugs VIII be
used.
II the windows In a den are near a
corner q large oblong or round table
should be placed near them, and books,
magazines, a lamp, or drop ngnt,
smoking tray and the various little
articles which are constantly required
in such a room, should be placed on
IL. Near the table where they may
be drawn close II desired should be
one or two large chairs, as well as one
or two little ones that can easily oe
carried to the light.
A couch of the divan type is always
better in a corner for the wall against
which It rests supplies background:
II there is space In the room seVerai
small tables should be put In corners.
Taborets are we'll adapted to this use
and are easily moved. They may be
OF the same wood that appears In the
room or a fancy table If one can af-
ford 1t.
On the walls many or few pictures
may be placed, according to the IN
dividual taste of the occupant, but
nothing that is dainty or light Is good.
That is. dainty frames would be out
of keeping, as would be dainty de-
signs, which are more suitable for the
bedroom than for the den. A pipe
rack Ia ornamental for the den, even
II Il Is not useful Brass and copper
ornaments, jars, bowls. lamps are
suited to the mantelpiece or wherever
the bric-a-brac is placed.
Curtains in this sort of room should
hang straight and not longer than just
below the window stills. Heavy cheese
cloth. light in effect; burlap and heavy
raw silk, light in effect, and pongee
are effective. A wide hem across the
bottom makes the best finish. If hung
on small brass rings and put on ngnt
brass rods that may be drawn during
the evening and will be artistic as well
as practical.

All of which will cause the COM

"SHE WHO DREAMS"

A Maori's idea of a woman is ex-
pressed in the phrase ''she who
Dreams which means that her
thoughts are on a higher plane than
his.
He allows her absolute freedom of
speech and manner, for he is sure
that if there is anything to be said
or done a woman's refinement and
sincerity will exceed his own.-La-

And yet, if we are not mistaken,
the Maori people is the only uncon-
quered race Which shows that the
truly brave will never fail in chivalry.
Weak, vain men, who can not COM
pete to advantage with the stronger
of their own sex, are usually to be
found arrayed against granting any
rights to women making, in fact,
the "1ast ditch" stand for an artifi-
cial superiority granted by law,
where natural equality is denied by
nature.
