Whistle Takes Place of Curfew Bell

section. q grave question arose as to
how the boys were to know when to
make 1t home" After some discus
sion the packing houses solved the
problem by agreeing to blow the whis-
tie at nine o'clock.
All was well. and when the loud
blast of the big steam siren, which
can be heard forty miles on a clear
day, sounded at nine o'clock the boys
scampered home. II they did not the
policeman took them to the station
and they were warned never again to
be out after curfew." The women were
satisfied and all went well.
But the boys grew up and neglecte ed
to impress on their younger brothers
a dread Of the curfew. The brothers
did not scamper home at the sound,
and the people began to think little
of 1t.
Meantime the housewives had be-
come accustomed to regulate their
clocks by the sound, and at nine
o'clock they went to see II the time
piece lost or gained. The habit spread,
and one by one the men grew accus-
toned to regulate their watches by
the whistle. Now every night the
watch of each man who works in the
city comes out OF his pocket almost
by force of habit at the first sound of
the whistle.

City of Winnipeg Owns Its Utilities

Is now nearing completion. The near
completion of this plant and the pros
poets that the city would build its
own street railway system, led the
Winnipeg Electric company to sell out

conducted under public ownership, for

For a servant to play the piano and
play 1t well Is an unusual thing. Mrs.
Green. the harassed keeper of a New
York lodging house, wondered at her
German maids proficiency. But New
York is the clearing house of the ma
lions and Mrs. Green had learned not
to be surprised at strange happen
ings. Elsa had come to her with no
recommendations but her honest face
and hef willingness to work. She told
her employer nothing Of her past.
AT Mrs. Green's there was plenty
to DC and the German maid toiled all
day long uncomplainingly. When her
work was done she asked for but one
privilege-to play on the battered
piano In the parlor If no one was
about. Then and then only she smiled
as she drew from the keys the melo-
dies of her fatherland. Why She had
left that country was her own secret,
but she was plainly pining for her
home ami people
One evening Mrs. Green and the
noisy dodgers were all away Over
the house brooded blessed quiet.
Elsa stole into the parlor and seated
herself at the piano, but her fingers
only rested on the keys, she was not
playing. Her thoughts were sad. No
one in this vast city cared whether
she lived or died She had not a
single friend. The tears battered on
the piano keys as she rested her head
against the music rack.
Suddenly. from above, came the
sweet tones of violin played with
skill and feeling. Elsa listened en-
tranced, every nerve thrilling in ap-
probation Of the exquisite harmonies
From the music Of the masters the
player glided into German air dear
to the heart of the homesick listener
Her fingers automatically felt for the
accompaniment, and she softly
touched the keys in time with the vio-
lin. Then she forgot herself and ev-

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

Y wish to let you know Of couple
Of recent cures which I have made
by the use Of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. of this city
came to my office, troubled with q
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in its worst form. It started with q
slight eruption and would affect most
parts Of his body, thighs. elbows,
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
Ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. I recommended all
the various treatments l could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them fair trial.
But as I did not know much about
Cuticura at that time l was doubtful
whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. I could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths Of Cuticura
Soap and applications OF Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was COM
pletely cured.
II lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. I told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti.
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.

KANSAS CITY, Kan.--Curfew must
n ring in Kansas, and its sounding
must be needed The ~. C. T. u. has
determined that too little attention is
paid to the curfew law, particularly
in Kansas City Kan, and asked the
city commissioners to see that 1t Is
enforced. In this city. where the
sounding Of a steam whistle on the
packing plant takes the place of the
0ld-time bell 1t is alleged that 1t is
no longer "the curfew whistle" but is
generally spoken OF as "the nine
o'clock whistle" from the fact that 1t
sounds at that hour In the evening.
Ten years ago the W. c. T. U. took
up the matter of the boys remaining
out late at night and determined to
put stop to 1t. They secured the
adoption by most of the city councils
Of the Sunfower state OF ordinances
similar to the New England curfew
laws. In this city, which was far too
large for any bell to be heard In every

The owner and the management will
know who owns the hens, but no one
else will have this information. unless
the owner cares to give 1t out. This
is done to protect an owner In case

There will be number OF prizes
offered for the best showing at the
end Of each month. also special prizes
for the best showing made by repre-
sentatives Of different breeds. For
the result Of the years contest there
will be other valuable prizes and own
ers who capture one Of these will and

reports of the contest will be pub
lished in newspapers, magazines and
poultry journals all over the country.

erything but the music. The old pi-
ano resounded to her hand; joyous
waves Of harmony rolled through the
room enriching the air as carried by
the violin. The player changed his
theme. Old German folk songs, cho-
rails, snatches of operas-he played
them all lovingly. and the girl followed
at the piano below.
All at once the music ceased. Elsa
drew long breath as IL awakening
from dream. but she still sat at the
piano with her little thoroughbred
hands resting on the keyboard
There was the sound of footsteps
on the stairs and then tap ON the
half-open door. A big, blond young
man, Enthusiastically German, stood
smiling in the doorway.

good" he said approvingly. "The
songs Of the fatherland move the
heart, is 1t not so?"
The tears rose again to Elsa's eyes.
but this time they did not burn; they
were refreshing like summer showers.
At first she could not speak. The
young man seemed not to notice her
emotion. He drew up chair and
talked easily until she had recovered
herself. Before she knew 1t she was
chatting gayly with this cheerful
stranger, who was indeed not stran-
ger, for he was from the home coun-
try. She smiled, she actually laughed
the little sad Elsa! The color rose
In her cheeks and two dimples came
into being. The young man, whose
name proved to be Rudolph Heide, en-
joyed the transformatin. He pro-
Ionged that enjoyment till the asth-
matte cuckoo clock warned him that
the hour was late.
After that evening the violin and
piano kept company whenever there
was an opportunity. When there was
none Rudolph and Elsa did their best
to make up for the absence of the mu.
sic. Pale little Elsa bloomed into
beauty, and went about her work ever
cumming the beloved German airs.
Mrs. Green watched the romance with
kind eyes. Even a lodging house
keeper may have heart concealed
about her person.
One Sunday afternoon the lovers
wandered through the park. They sat
down on retired shady bench. Then
