REV. FiRRILL MAKES ADDRESS
Patriotic People of the City Crowd the
Congregational Church and Post Hall
and Take Part in the Impressive
Ceremonies.

One Of the prettiest and most effec-
tive Memorial Sunday services ever
heard in Kenosha was held in the First
Congregational church last evening for
the Fred S. Lowell Post, G. A. R. The
post was welcomed with the regulation
bugle call and marched to its position
in the church to the inspiring strains
Of an orchestra of nine pieces. AS the
American flag was borne down the aisle
under the escort Of the color guard
after the rest of the procession was in
place in the pews, the chorus accom-
panied by the orchestra rendered
% Flag Of the Free -
The musical numbers, including the
orchestral selection, choruses, the solo
by Mr.. Tower, "The Sword of Bunker
Hill " and ''Taps'' by Mr.. Draudt were
highly appreciated.
The Rev. Mr.. Farrill, pastor of the
church, who had acted as captain for
the post during the day, spoke of the
service the G. A. R. men had rendered

fined is the thought of God. That
thought most clearly and emphatically
expressed in terms of human life and
activity in and through the Man of
Nazareth.
The speaker said that the true wealth
Of the nation is not muscle, brain or
rocky mountains, but is spirit, charac-
ter and personality.
"We can It preserve our country by
singing the "Star Spangled Banner"

character more than she needs cannon;
spirit more than soldiers; manhood
more than militia; and principle more

life long business, this being a true
patriot, but it pays"

GATHERS OWN INFORMATION
Rev. Elskamp Speaks Powerfully from
First Hand knowledge of Conditions
as He Finds Them ard Condemns
Laxity of Police and Officials.

The Rev. B. Elskamp, pastor of st.
George church, speaking at one of the
morning services at his church Sunday
morning, in one of the most powerful
sermons ever heard in the city, unspar-
ingly condemned the conditions sur
rounding the dances in public halls in
The city and particularly the Saturday
night dances and he did not hesitate
in the slightest to denounce them as
immoral and dangerous for the young
people of the city and as a disgrace to
Kenosha. The occasion was the annual
communion service for the Catholic
Knight of Wisconsin and the 65 mem
bers of the order present were pro-
foundly impressed with the sermon.
Rev. Elskamp did not mince matters
in dealing with his subject. He has
been investigating the condition sur
rounding these Saturday night dances
and it was quite evident that what he
found filled him With anger and disgust.
He declared that he had investigated
on his own responsibility and found
four dance halls running until three
o'clock Sunday morning and that he
had found several boys all in a more
or less advanced state of intoxication
and most of them accompanied by
young girls, carousing in the streets at
that hour. He denounced these
"shindigs' as he called them in I'M
measured terms and showed his hear
ers that the effects of all of this dis
sipation were to be seen in the de-
creased attendance of young people at
all of the early services of all the
churches. He declared that something
must be done to put stop to these
excuses and he also denounced the
laxity OF the city government in per-
hitting such places to run undisturbed.
He said that in his Investigations COW
ering the time from eleven in the
evening until three in the morning he

Rev. Elskamp asked the aid of the
Knights in fighting the evils he de-
scribed and declared that any move
ment which would accomplish anything
along the line of improvement in con-
ditions must come from the men of the
city. He dwelt upon the danger of such
immortality surrounding the young PEG
pie Of the city and pointed out the
inevitable results which must follow

Poodle, Terrier
and Cupid
By CARL JENKINS

The fond father of Miss May Is
lington had paid $50 for that poodle
dog of hers. He was a white poodle
with pinkish eyes. He would sit up
or lie down and roll over when com.
manded, although he did not seem to
think much of the performance him
self AS he had been purchased from
a pale-faced young man, who had
stolen him from a red-faced woman,
ten dollars would have been a good
ly price, but he had said fifty, and
fifty it was.
Every morning, if the weather was
not too bad, Bobby was walked in the
park, where he could stretch his legs
and bark his little bark Miss May
was the one who generally showed
him off, but there were times when
he was put in charge of the parlor
maid with injunctions. There were
36 of these injunctions, ending with:
And nowp If you let any other dog
annoy Bobby you will surely lose your
place in the house.
And thus the parlOr maid would go
sailing through the park with her chin
In the air and her hat On her ear She
was in charge of $50 poodle.
In fact, no one could say that she was
not the owner of it. She looked with
contempt on the small boys who asked
her if Bobby was a young goat. and
she condescended to reply to the ques-
tons of ladies with:
eyes, he took the prize at the dog
show, and / thought he was cheap at
$500"
"What-$50o!"
Certainly. You didn't take him for
a cur, hope! Bobby, sit up for the
person."
Mr.. Herbert Frayne had a terrier
dog. His name was Dick, and no
value had ever been placed on him.
He had never been asked to sit up or
roll over, and he certainly would have
refused if he had been. He was full

of years and dignity, and he left all
monkeyshines to younger dogs. Dick
also was given morning walks. When
his sole owner and proprietor could
not take him out he was intrusted to
the valet, but without injunctions.
Dick could take care Of himself.
1t was fated that the parlor maid
with the poodle and the valet with the
terrier should meet. They did meet
The maid had taken seat on bench
and arranged her figure according to
the latest edict, and the poodle had
been arranged beside her to show him
to the best advantage, when the valet
and the terrier came along. The valet
gave snort as he saw the poodle. and
the terrier gave the other canine only
a passing glance, and all would have
gone we'll had not Bobby sprung down
and tried to bite the terrier on his left
heel. 1t was an unprovoked outrage.

and then rolled him all over the path.

started away.

The valet said nothing Of the incl
dent when he returned home. The
terrier had received a bite, but it
didn't Justify narrative
On the contrary, the parlor maid
went home with tears in her eyes to
tell how young man and terrier
dog had nearly killed Bobby and sass
