HI Levy, of the National Knitting
Co of Milwaukee, was here on business
incidental to the establishment of a
new knitting factory here. He was
accompanied by Hugo Koetz, who will
be foreman at the factory. Mr. Levy
stated that he would ship the machin-
cry for the plant next week, but that a
week or two more would elapse before
work could be commenced.
B Converse, carp seiner at Lake
Kegonsa last summer, was in the city
to look over the field. Mr. Converse
stated that if the property owners at
the lake secured a permit, he would
place box-nets at both the inlet and the
outlet of the lake in early spring to
catch all carp when they left the lake
to spawn. Game fish could be taken
out and dropped into the river, while
carp would be dumped into a scow.
This, he said, would be the best way to
rid the lake of carp and would not in
jure the game fish, as they congregate
near the surface of the water.

movements were evidently intended
to arouse responsive chords in my in
nermost heartstrings and make them
vibrate in unison with her outraged
feelings, but nary a sympathetic
tone did they elicit. My heart had

to all human sentiment, during my
struggles with the monster-FATE.

determine whether REASON or
SUPERSTITION would prevail? So
| | resolved that my female tormen-
tor might wait for her change till
doomsday for all cared to the con-
trary. If REASON got vanquished
in the struggle, which had now as
sumed the magnitude of test-case,
would | not be an AFFECT slave to
Superstition for the whole remand

And yet, something must be done
| in this emergency, for the beldame
began to exhibit another revulsion
of feeling which promised anything
but happy results. If | didn't give
her her change instanter, she would
call for the police to make me come
| to terms. AS this was more than |
| had bargained for, | must needs
make some kind of move to get
myself out of the threatened scrape.
A brilliant idea then suddenly IL
lumined the Egyptian darkness OF
my mental horizon-an idea, alas,
which must have been inspired by the
enemy of man, but not being gifted
with supernormal foresight, failed
to see the snare that was laid for
me. This was nothing more nor
less than to raise myself with one
foot resting on a rung of the stool,
and with the other make a long step
towards the money drawer to get
the change without endangering the
wheel. Then all my troubles would
be over; the demon of superstition
would be routed and made to hunt
his hole and pull it in after him.
Glorious idea! happy thought!
Slowly and carefully, then, I rails

the demon, Irrevocable Fate, had

At this juncture, my star, which

to rise again, for she suddenly be-

cross, which l thought | had placed
with other completed jobs in a
drawer quite out of my reach.
Handing it to her, with a sigh OF re-
lief no pen can describe, fancied
that all my troubles for that day
were over, and that I could yet find
that wheel in time for its owner to
take his train, when instead OF a
dime, she handed me a quarter, all
the money she had in the world
and |, NOT A CENT OF CHANGE IN MY

So my star had barely arisen, be-

again, for l could not get to the cash
