Fine View From TOP on Rare Occa-
sIons When Mist Is Absent
Chapel Marks the Peak.

London.-Croagh Patrick, famous In
Irish tradition as the scene Of st. Pat
rick's first missionary work in that
country, is situated three miles from
Westport in Clew bay. Bleak and bare,
the famous mountain rears its gloomy
head right into the cloud area. Mist,
barely dispelled by the hot sun of mid
summer, usually wells the summit. At
its base a winding road, bordered on
one side by a low wall Of gray stone
separating the mainland from the
beach, leads to the little hamlet of
Klooneen Kilmeena, some six miles
distant.
From the top of Croagh Patrick,
which necessitates three hours hard
climbing to get there, fine view may
be had in clear weather. Inland noun

lofty-rises in successive chain.
Seward lies CIew bay, with its 365
islets dotted in and out along the
coast, and far beyond stretch the dis
tant waters of the Atlantic.
Built on the crest of the mountain
and only visible when halfway up the
steep ascent, tiny chapel now marks
the spot where Ireland's patron saint
is supposed to have slept, and prayed,
and tasted for six full weeks. Here,
it is said, the saint drove the loath-
some reptiles that crawled about him
down the mountain side into the sea,
where all were drowned. Thus, thanks
to st. Patrick. the land was delivered
forever from the horror which beset
1t. and to this day no reptiles are to
be found in any part of Ireland; nor
will they live even if imported thither.
The chapel dedicated to st. Patrick
was erected In 1906. Its construction
was no easy matter. The cement used

I looked over at Jimmy. She had got

weeks, although It was clear enough
that Aunt Selma disapproved of me
thoroughly, and would have been glad
enough to find that no tie save the
board of health held us together. And
then Bella came in, and you wouldn't
have known her. She had put on a
straight white wooden wrapper, and
she had her hair in two long braids
down her back. She looked like a
nice wide-eyed little girl in her
teens, and she had some lobster salad
and a glass of port on a tray. When
she saw the situation she put the
things down and had the nastiness to
stay and listen.
I'm not blind" Aunt Selma said
with one eye on the tray. You two
silly children adore each other; I

Bella took step forward; then she
stopped and shrugged her shoulders

LEADERS ARE BUSY
State Anti-saloon League
Preparing for a General
Conference Next Month
CENsURE FOR LEGISLATORS

The leaders Of the Anti-Saloon league
are planning general conference of
their forces to be held in Milwaukee
some time in August or September,
when the fight for a stronger repre-
sentation in the next legislature will
be begun.
There is no denying that leaders of
the Anti-Saloon league are very much
disappointed over the results Of their
efforts in this general assembly for ex-
else legislation and they declare they
intend to make an early start in the
battle for the selection of the next
legislature and attempt if possible to
have more members in that body who
will favor stringent changes in the
liquor laws,
At the August conference one of the
things to be decided will be whether
a candidate shall be put in the field
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor under county option banner.
1t seems there is division of
opinion on the advisability of this
course. Some prominent members of
the league believe that one of the rea-
sons for the small representation of
members in this legislature who were
favorable to stringent excise legisla-
ton, was the fact that too much atten-
ton was given by the anti-saloon forces
in the last campaign to the guberna-
torial fight and not enough to the legis-
lative situation, and that for this rea
son the legislature slipped away from
the influence Of the league and nothing
was accomplished in the way of results
such as the Anti-Saloon league is seek

There is nothing more important for
children than the proper care of the
teeth and the members of the school
board are much pleased with the offer
of the Kenosha County Dental society
70 examine the teeth of all of the
children i'll the schools made through
Drs Kaltenbacn and Ryan. There is no
charge for this service and no obliga-
ZION either expressed or implied resting
ON the parents of the children whose
teeth arc examined to have any dental
work done by the examining dentists.
Where bad conditions requiring atten-
tion are found parents will be inform
eel Of that fact and the responsibility
OF securing proper medical attention
will rest with chem. Coupled with the
examination made by the Kenosha
County Medical society the work of the
dentists will give the teachers com
plete record of the physical condition
of every pupil under their care and
in many cases the records on the index
cards will show the reasons for the
poor progress made by the pupil and
enable the teachers to show parents
who are not satisfied with the standing

where the trouble is and what must
be done to give the backward students
AL equal chance with their mates.

A merry war between railroads and

is to come to an issue at a hearing
before the interstate commerce COM
mission July 81 IN the federal build
ing. Examiner Burchmore is to take
evidence for the commission, on which
will be based decision determining a
reasonable rate to be charged by the
roads for next summers business.

effective May 5, advancing the rates.
to Chicago 10 cents ton. have been
suspended by the commission pending
an investigation.
The suspension order of the commits
sion, which held up the increase from
90 to 70 cents ton until September
5, and has since been extended for an
other six months, applies only to the
st. Paul. the Northwestern, and the
500 line
The Knickerbocker and eleven other
ice companies, through their attorneys,
M. w. Borders and Luther M Walter,
fled new complaint yesterday with
the commission attacking the reason
ableness of the present rates On ice,
asking reduction to the old figure
of so cents a ton, and seeking $250,000
for an excess of no cents ton over
this figure charged for two years.
The Knickerbocker Ice company,
Boyle Ice company, Haegele Ice com
pany, Jefferson Ice company, Lincoln
Ice company L. G. Tewes Ice company,

Esch Ice company, Wight Ice company
and Harry Lawler, an individual ice
dealer, join iii the complaint which de-
claxes the present rates without the
advance unreasonable, excessive and
discriminatory as compared with other
trafice and ice from other points.
IN support Of their claim that the
advanced rates are excessive the ice
companies in their petition cite figures
to show that their profits are now so
small that they would be completely
wiped out if the roads were allowed to
charge the higher rates.

brick building costing approximately
$115,000 and will be located on Linden
Drive halfway between the main agri-
cultural hall and Charter Street, south

An addition to the gymnasium will
