RECORD OF CRIMINAL LIVES
Book Which Would Be Condemned
Today Read by Men and Women
a Few Generations Ago.

One of the scarce books which has
to be sold at an approaching auction
sale in this city bears this fascfnat-
ing title: "The Lives of the Most Re-
markable Criminals, Who Have Been
Condemned and Executed; for Murder,
Highway, House-Breakers, Street Rob-
berries, Coming or Other Offenses;
from 1920 to the Present Time" The
present time" referred to in this IT,
tie was only the year 1875, so that
the whole period covered By these
thrilling and numerous criminal lives
was only Is years. 1t must have
been a great time for criminals, for
between the covers of the book are
the stories of Jack Sheppard, Kennedy
the Pirate, Jonathan Wild, Mrs. Grit
fin. Edward Burnsworth, William Bar
wick and several other quite cele-
brated criminals. Cheer up! Those
were worse times than ours for Grim
inality-and those were the days, too,
when men and women were hanged
for burglary, counterfeiting, sheep
stealing, and even poachtng and snug
Cling.
An odd thing about that time, too,
was that hundreds of books were print
ed which contained full and harrow
ing details of murder and robbery,
and that almost everybody, including
clergymen and delicate ladies, read
these books eagerly as fast as they
came out. The oldest public libraries
in New England contain, in the book
collections which were spread before
the youth Of the community, many
such criminal lives.-New York Mail.

WHERE HORACE MADE SONG
Sabine Home Rendered Immortal by
Poet Still Retains All Ess Famous
Beauty.

A few verses written two thousand
years ago have rendered the little val
ley of the Licenza one of the most
famous places within easy reach OF
Rome. Had Maeceas been less gener-
Gus patron, had he never given the
Sabine farm to Horace, had Horace
never told the world and his friends
how his days there were spent, few
would now make the classical excur-
sion into the Sabine hills, though
time has not marred their beauty.
The villa of Horace has disappeared,
but the hills are as lovely as they
were in his day. Now, as then. if one
goes from Rome to Tfvoh, and thence
10 Vilovaro, there turning up the val
ley of the Licenxa and wandering on
by road, as one must, since there is no
railway, he comes, some few miles far
Their, to great rock that springs alb
ruptly from the hover slopes and tits
over them at an interesting angle.
This is the citadel Horace had to
scale to reach his house, and marks,
it is thought. the boundaries Of the
farm. The only difference is that the
little village of Roccagiovine rises on
top, where Of old stood the Temple Of
Vacuna, already in ruins when Hor-
ace sat under its shadow to write to
his friend in Rome. The little town
had done it's best to meet its classical
responsibilities, and has given the
name of the temple to it's piazza.
Here still are the olives that pay
the Sabine farmers best, and the vines
that yield the rough little Sabine wine
that Horace has made more renowned
than many a rarer vintage. Here are
the hills where he wandered, and the
woods that gave acorns to his fiocks
and shade to him. Here are the bah
bling spring and the banks upon
which he rested during the hours he
counted his happiest-the Bandalusian
spring to which he promised immor-
tally in his song. And as he prom
ised so he gave. Not merely the
spring, but all that vast estate, which
the satirists of his time would have
men believe was but "a lizards hole"
he has made immortal.

Tea Was Not Popular In 175s.

A description Of model country
rector's household in an issue of the
London World for 1853 shows that
tea-drinking was then far from gen.
eral: His only article of luxury is
tea, but the doctor says he would
forbid that, If his wife could forget
her London education. However, they
seldom offer 1t but to the best COM
pany, and less than a pound will last
them a twelvemonth."
A few years prior to this the Fee
male Spectator declared that the tea
table costs more TO support than
would maintain two children at
nurse; it is the utter destruction of
all economy, the bane of good house
witery, and the source of idleness.'

County Board Makes Annu-
al Valuation of County
at $4,000 600
TO CLOSE UP WORK SATURDAY

Members of the county board are
making an effort to get the work of
the session completed to make possible
a final adjournment on Saturday af
ternoon, but there is still a lot Of bust
ness to be done and with the speed
shown by the board in the last few
days it will take at least another week
to get through with the work. The
board has fixed the salary : of the
county highway commissioner at $1,0SO
for the next two years, but as yet
they have taken no steps to elect a
commissioner. Applications are still
coming in, the last application being
j. E. Dixon of Silver Lake.
This morning Peter Jacobs present
ed to the board proposition for a
site for a tuberculosis hospital. The
property is located just north of the
Runals farm in the town of Somers
and the price is $175 an acre. Twenty
five acres are offered at this price.
The question of the site for the hos
pital will be taken up by the board on
Saturday morning and it is expected
that final arrangement will be made
at this time. 1t looks now as if the
majority of the members OF the board
would be favorable to the Flemming
site in the western part Of the county.
just before noon today a special com
mittee was appointed to make an in
ventory of highway machinery and
this is to be presented to the board
on Saturday morning. Chairman Shu-
art was not present at the session of
the board this morning and the lead
ership was placed in the hands of
County Supervisor II. B. Schwan of
the seventh ward.
The report of the committee on as
sessment makes the valuation on which
the county and state taxes will be
levied:

MAY COME CROSS WATER
Board Decides to Make Record Levy for
Highway Work in Order to Take Care
of Appropriations Made by Towns
and Private Subscriptions.

Kenosha County is going to expend
at least $4,000 for the Improvement of
highways in the county during the com
ing year as at the meeting of the coun-
ty board on Friday afternoon levy
of $4,000 was voted for highway taxes
and this will be sufficient to take care
of all the appropriations made by the
towns in the county and the forced =
appropriations brought as a result OF
money being raised among the property
owners. The State Highway Commission
has appropriated by $4,000 for Kenosha
county for highways during the coming
year, but A. r. Hirst, engineer of the
board recently declared while in Ke-
nosha that a special act would be ask
ed from the legislature setting aside
money enough to make up the deficien-
cy in counties and that Kenosha county
would eventually get from the state
the same amount appropriated by the
county. This will make total of more
than $4,000 to be spent for highways
in the county during the coming year.
OF this amount the city of Kenosha
will contribute $1,000, and under the
provisions of the state aid law none Of
this money can be spent within the
limits of the city or any incorporated
town.
The larger sum should make possible
the completion of all the work that has
been provided for by the various towns
in the county. 1t is expected that the
first work to be started will be the
building of concrete road along the
lake shore in the towns of Pleasant
Prairie and Somers. The people in these
towns have raised subscriptions de-
mandng concrete roadway and it is
thought that the State Highway Com
mission will hold that the county must
follow the demands of the petitions in
providing for these roads Some Of
rbHC SUPERVISORS are CuoullS toholN6l-
able over the supervision that the state
is taking over the roads as they hold
that all the money comes out of the
county and that the county board mem
bers should have wider power in de-
termining the kind of work to be done.
Engineer Hirst has announced to the
board that the state will insist on the
building of concrete road on Ashland
avenue and on the lake shore road
north of Milwaukee avenue. Some of
the towns have announced the inten-
tion Of building gravel roads and it is
expected that these towns will complete
considerable larger mileage next year
than the towns where the concrete roads
arc built. No new system Of highways
has been outlined for the coming year
and the work will be continuation of
the work begun last season. The reports
of retiring Highway Commissioner Will
liams have all been checked up and
the board will be ready to settle with
him today. His resignation goes into
effect tomorrow.

Makes Good Road.

In the "gumbo" regions of the lower

have been the worst in the world,
