HOPES INSPIRATION.

Life without hope, in the estima-
nation of all men, is not worth the
living. When hope sinks low
there is thought of a way of re-
lease, and when it rises high the
present and all the future is joyous.
The young, with many days in
their culver of promise, look glad
~ into the vistas of coming time,
and the old, with their days well
spent, look farther on. To be
without hope in the world is to be
in living death, separated from
peace and all fellowship. Blessed
it is that hope. though dead, may
rise again. Many there be who go
down into the valley of the shadow
and on some other shore have re-
appearance in the light. There is
resurrection in many ways, mani
fest in nature and known to men;
and hope it is, rising as the stars.
that leads the way, making beauti-
full the waste places, garlanding
life in its youth, strengthening it in
its prime, and supplying the COM
fort of companionshjp when the
blossom has dropped and the leaf
is shriyeled, Sioux City Journal.
Mayor-elect. Carter H. Harri-
son of Chicago, has an application
from Mrs. Kate Rossi of that city,
asking that she be appointed ST.
perintendent of the Chicago police
force. She says her qualifications
for the office center chiefly around
her ability as free lance" with
neither friend or foe to consider in
the administration of the office and
her great experience in taking and
withstanding the ill effects of
abuse" She gives three reasons
for aspiring to the office, viz: 1t
is an honorable position. The
salary is reasonably good. The
city of Chicago needs ME. We
would advise Carter to tell Mrs.
Rossi the next time she calls
around at his office to talk with
him further about the job, to just
jump into a Harem skirt and get
busy.

it blew nightly from the east and
on the morning of the third, Tues
day, the heavens became overcast
with dark clouds and presently the
rain descended. 1t came down so

been in the habit ofperforn1ing this
way for a long, long time, perhaps
as much as several thousand years.

the house is especially attractive, with
the large living room lighted ON three
sides. Broad cased openings connect
the stair hall with the living room on
one side and the dining-room on the
other, making In all very spacious

lent to the dinin-room, also to the
front door and the stairs.
The second floor of this house is
small, compared to the first floor
plan, since the living room is one
story wing with fat roof. This, how
ever, provides very nice second-story
balcony opening out Of one of the
bedrooms, which can be used very
easily for an outdoor sleeping room in
the summer time. Both of the bed.
rooms are Of good size and are nicely
arranged for convenience.
This house is designed along strict
ly modern lines, giving the popular ce-
ment stucco outside finish This
house will cost from $500 to $4,000,
depending on the local material and
labor market 1t Is design of good
deal of style and can be recommended
as generally satisfactory.

Court, Marries With Unusual Rites.
The gypsy wedding which had been
scheduled to take place in Kenosha a
week ago Sunday, but which was pre-
vented by the officials of the county
driving the tribes out of the county,
took place at North Chicago on Mon
day afternoon. The groom was Peter
Bimble, one of the defendants in the
famous Bimble case recently disposed
of in the circuit court here and the
bride as Mary Giorgi said to be the
handsomest member of the rival tribe
of gypsies. A double ceremony was
held to cement the union One of the
ceremonies took place at an Austrian
church in North Chicago and the sec
ond was held at the camp of the
gypsies. The ceremony at the camp is
said TO have been one of the most I'M
usual ceremonies ever performed in this
section of the country. The bride and
groom are both well known to Keno
sha officials as they were in Kenosha
county for many weeks during the re-
cent troubles.

Victor Faust, Long Sought
by Police for Embezzle-
ment, Arrested Monday
FORMERLY MOOSE STEWARD

The police ended chase lasting for
nearly three months on Monday night
when Victor Faust, formerly steward
of the Kenosha Lodge of the Loyal
Order of Moose, was arrested at Ash
land he will be brought back to Ke-
nosha at once to answer charges of
embezzlement made in a complaint
filed in the municipal court by E. E.
Gray, the treasurer of the Kenosha
lodge, to the amount of nearly 1925.
Faust was employed as steward of the
lodge for some time and was trusted
by all Of the officials He was mem
Der of the lodge and in addition to his
work as steward he acted in the capa-
city of assistant secretary of the lodge
and gave receipts for dues and other
lodge funds.
At the time of his disappearance on
July 10th of this year it was thought
that his shortage would amount to
only few dollars taken in at the buff
fet of the lodge, but. later it was
found that considerable lodge funds
had been collected by him and that
none of them had been accounted for
to the other officials. Faust was said
Ito be at Rockford after leaving Kenosha
and friends of his sought to have the
matter settled up so that he could re-
turn to Kenosha, but the money was
never Forthcoming and the lodge final
ly ordered the treasurer to bring form
al charges of embezzlement against
him.
After leaving Kenosha Faust took
the name of civilian Farnsworth''
as is alleged by the police and under
this name he had dealings with the de-
partment of the interior of the United
States government. It was through
these dealings that Chief o Hare final
ly managed to get trace Of the man
and the government officials aided ma
terially in tracing the man to Ashland
Faust had been in Ashland but a few
days when the police there discovered
him and arrested him.
Chief O'Hare left early Monday
evening for Ashland to bring Faust to
Kenosha and officials of the order in
sist that they will demand his prosecu-
ton on the embezzlement charges.
Faust was general favorite with the
members of the order in Kenosha and
the complaint against him for embez-
element came as great surprise.

II is surprising, to one who has not
given the matter thought, how many
little points there are connected with
the planning of an up-to-date, con-
venient residence that can be gotten
all wrong If the architect is not ex-
ceedingly careful, or doesn't know his
business, and the house resulting be
almost ruined, as far as comfort and
the conveniences of housekeeping are
concerned.
1t has been frequently suggested
that architects doing residence work
should SEX the advice of women con-
corning many points, and find out
from first-hand testimony just how 1t

that have been suggested are as fol-

who is of short or medium stature is
in constant danger of pitching for

woman can at least reckon upon a
headache or backache as the result
OF few hours work; or who but
man would make the ledge between
the tubs so wide that no ordinary
wringer can be fitted to it? Would
any woman dream Of standing
kitchen range SO close to the wall on
the side where the match has to be

lated that 1t Is by difficult vancouver

APPROVE BLACKLIST PLAN.
City Council Directs That Men at Poor
Farm be Refused Tntoxicants.

The city council has placed the men
who are wards of the city at the poor
farm on the blacklist and formal
notice will be served on all saloon
men in the city not to sell these men
liquors. The action of the council in
the matter was all but unanimous, only
one or two of the aldermen making
any objections to the proposed black
list. Poormas5er Werner took up the
matter with the council declaring that
the excessive use Of liquor was the
cause for most of the men being at
the poor farm and insisting that they
were nuisance when drunk. No eff
fort was made to extend this list to
other paupers and dependents Of the
city, but it is probable that this mat
ter will be taken up later.

KenOsha Man Who Admitted
Smuggling Charge Gets
Fine in u. s. Court
GOVERNMENT MAY BRING SUIT

Nathan Allen Paid a fine of $4,000
in the criminal branch of the United
States Circuit Court in New York on
Monday afternoon as penalty for
admitted smuggling and conspiracy and
the famous Allen case so far as crimi-
nal action is concerned is closed up.
John r. Collins Of Memphis, alleged to
have been the companion of Allen at
the time of the smuggling, paid a fine
Of $4,000 To each fine was added the
petty costs of the action.
The penalty was imposed on the two
men by Judge Hough after the ques-
ton of fine or Imprisonment as sent
ence had been taken up in chambers
by the court. For two hours attorneys
for Allen and Collins presented to the
court behind closed doors what they be-
lieved to be extenuating circumstances
in the case and at the close of this ex-
tended argument, no word of which was
made public, Judge Hough mounted the
bench and passed sentence ON the two
men The fine against Mr.. Allen is one
of the largest fines ever assessed, but
many times the government has col
lected forfeitures for smuggling of sew
eral times this amount.
While the criminal end Of the case
is closed the United States district at
torney intimated ON Monday that it
was probable that civil action will
be brought against Allen in the name
of the government to collect forfeit
ure for smuggling. In such case it
is said that the amount claimed by the
government will be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. No papers in this
action were served on Allen in New
York on Monday and his friends seem
to think that it is very improbable that
the government will pursue the case
further. Mr.. Allen left Kenosha for
New York ON Monday evening and it is
thought that papers in a suit would
have been served on him If the govern
ment officials had decided to proceed
with such an action. Attorney Peter
Fisher of Kenosha, appeared before the
court in behalf of Mr.. Allen together
with William s. Forrest of Chicago and
w. Wickham Smith of New York.
In passing sentence on Allen and
Collins, Judge fHough said:
ct will state again my view Of what
has come to be known as the anti
smuggling crusade in this city. To
my mind there is q great distinction
between those foolish persons-largely
women-an6 equally foolish men-who,
when coming into this country as pas
sengers, bring upon their persons or
concealed in their luggage some articles
of adornment for personal wear, and
smuggling merchants.
"Of course, both are against the
law, and therefore wrong, but [ think
the occasional smugglers are vastly diff
ferent from those who carry on a long
continued course of smuggling for pro-
smuggling which is part of the
mercantile transaction in which it oc-
curs-for that goes to the root of all
honest business.

WIDOW NAMED AS SOLE HEIR
VIII Made in 1890 Also Names Mrs.
Ella Allen as Sole Executrix of the
Wl1-Estate Largely Made Up of
Personal Property.

The will Of the late Charles w. Allen
was admitted to probate in the county
court by Judge George W. Taylor thi.
morning and in keeping with the provi-
slons OF the will theS entire estate of
the deceased valued at 100000 is left
absolutely to his widow, Mrs Ella F
Allen who is named as executrix Of the
will without bonds. While the estate
is the largest ever probated in the
county court for Kenosha county, ac-
cording to the petition for probate, the
will is one of the shortest if not the
shortest documents of the kind ever
tiled in the court It follows:
81, Charles w. Allen, of the City of
henosha, Wisconsin, being of sound
and dlsposing mind, but mindful Of the
uncertainty of human life, do make, pub
lish and declare this my last will and
testament, thereby revoking all wills
heretofore made by me-
| do give, devise and bequeath, unto
my wife, Ella Allen, all my property
and estate of whatever name or nature.
the same may be whether real, personal
or mixed, to have and to hold unto my
said wife and to her heirs, executors, ad-
ministrators and assigns forever.
l do hereby nominate and appoint my
wife, Ella Allen, sole executrix Of this
my last will and testament, and do
hereby direct and request that no bond
or security whatever be required or
exacted of her for the performance of
her duties as executrix hereunder.
In witness whereof, [ have hereunto
set my hand and seal this 18th day Of
August A. D. 1890.
Charles w. Allen
Little evidence was taken at the hear
ing to admit the will to probate. The
will had been witnessed by the late
Charles Quarles of Milwaukee and
George Nicoll Of st Louis and Mr.. Nieoll
was present and identified the signature
of Mr.. Allen. G. G. Allen, the eldest
son of the deceased gave evidence as
to the proof of death. It was shown
that all the heirs to the estate had
signed a formal statement waving all
notice of probate of the will and the
judge at once signed the order admitting
the will to probate and naming Mrs.
Allen as executrix of the will without
bonds.
The petition for probate made by
Mrs. Allen stated that the deceased left
real estate in the town of Pleasant
Prairie Of the value of $4,000 and a
homestead in the city of Kenosha. In
addition he left personal property to the
value of from 100000 to $4,000 900,
the exact amount being not definitely
known to the petitioner. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Allen left few if any debts,
but that his Indebtedness was unknown
TO the executrix of the will.
The whole ceremony of the admission
of the will took up less than ten
minutes of the time of the court.
