Increased Attendance at the
City Schools Expected at
Opening Of Semester.
LARGE ATTENDANCE SHOWN
BY Mary D. Bradford.

Next Monday, January 9th the new
semester will OPEN This means that
new classes throughout the schools
will begin their work towards the next
goal, which with our semi-annual pro-:
motion plan are now only half year
apart.
Each kindergarten has brought a
class up to the point where they may
proftably enter first grade and be
taught to read.
This promotion leaves room in the
kindergarten for other children. Any
parent having four or five year old
child will find a place for that child
in the nearest kindergarten, where he
or she will be proftably occupied for
half day.
In this connection [ wish to report
upon the very satisfactory attendance
in the eight kindergartens during the
months of September, October, No
vember and December. The average
attendance, in all the kindergartens,
(Which means the total number pres
emit on an average every day. for
these months is as follows:
september ........... 4l3
October s. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 424
november .............. AT
December !. :. ...............4 400
The average attendance in the kim
dergarten is IA per cent of the total
average attendance of the schools.
This remarkable regularity of at
tendance is probably due partly to the
favorable weather during the fall.
1t also indicates the increasing conf
dence of parents in the kindergartens
as an institution that lays the best
sort of a foundation for regular school
work. It means that every day since
school began last September over 400
mothers have prepared little child,
too young to help himself much, to
| 60 to school.
| feel sure that they will find insthe
future progress of the child as com
pared with most others who did not
| have the kindergarten training, that
il paid to take that trouble.

FALLS DEAD IN RESTAURANT
Old Man Had Been Silent Participa-
tor in Great Events in Connection
With the Nation. was Body Servant
of General Phil Sheridan During War

IHOuldS Dully, dSGu 10 years, mUl6
Familiarity. known among hundreds Of
people in Kenosha as cold Tom,' a
man employed as h5stler in the
barns at the corner of Church and
Park streets, died very suddenly at the
Plaza Cafe just after four o. clock
Monday afternoon. Old Tom just fell
asleep while waiting for his luncheoa
and he died SO peacefully that people
in the restaurant thought that he had
fallen asleep. Duffy had gone to the
cafe Just after four o. clock and had
sat down on one of the stools in front
Of the lunch counter. He had chatted
with the people in the cafe while his
order was being prepared and without
any waning his head fell forward and
wh:n Lester Holderness, the proprietor
Of the cafe, reached him he found that
he was dead. The remains were re-
moved to the Hansen morgue and they
are being held pending efforts to To-
cate some Of the relatives of the dead
man.
cold Tom was half breed negro
born in Cleveland, O., Is years ago.
No one in Kenosha ever knew any
thing Of his parents, but he had re-
sided in Kenosha off and on for the
past twenty years. He nad been con-
pectea with many stiIrigg events in
the history Of the natissx He was
first employed as a driver of the old
tow path along the Ohio river canal
and at the breaking out of the civil
war he joined the men who followed
the union army to the south and he
was silent participant in many of the
stirring events of the great rebellion
For two years he was attached to the
staff Of General Phil Sheridan and
much of this time he acted as the body
servant Of the famous union leader.
He was at many of the great battle
fields of the war in his capacity of a
servant and took great joy in telling
IF the thrilling eyeats w1ich marked
the fall of Richmond, the confederate
capital.
After the war Of the rebellion was
over Tom went west with some of the
men he had known in the army and
for more than twenty years he was a
driver of wagon trains on the frontier.
He worked mostly on the trails from
Black Hills to Deadwood in the Dako-
tas and he was often in skirmishes
with the Indians. He became very
friendly with the Indians and was
pround of the fact that he gained the
friendship of some Of the most pict-
uresque of the chiefs Of the tribes in
the Black Hills districts.
He came to Kenosha in 1890 and
was employed by George Perrin as q
coachman and since that time he had
worked as a coachman and hostler for
various people in Kenosha. Old Tom
was a great friend of the children in
the neighborhoods in which he had
been employed and it was a common
sight to see him trudging about the
street with two and even three and
four of the children on his back. So
far as can be leorned he has no rela-
tiyes in the country. He was married
when young man, but his wife died
shortly after the marriage.

A QUAINT PHILOSOPHER.
He Deity Turned His Little Faults
Into Real Virtues.

In August Strindberg's Easter "a
play and Stories translated from the

is a quaint bit of conscience easing
reasoning by a matter of fact philo-
sophical photographer. He had a
partner, who posed as real. fault
less. philosopher. But this matter Of
fact chap was full OF little eccentrici-
ties. For instance, he smoked tobacco
all day long: he could never learn to
close door after him: he stuck the
knife into his mouth instead Of the
fork; he went about in the house with
his hat on; he manicured his nails In
the middle of the atelier. and at night
he had to have three mugs Of ale. He
was full of faults"
TO his faultless partner the matter
of fact one thus justified his short
comings: Just consider! l do not
drink to excess. therefore / attend to
the business. | don't steal. never
speak Ill of you. / never complain, |
never turn white into black, I'm never
uncivil to customers. | rise early In
the morning. | trim my nails to keep
the developer clean, | keep my hat on
my head SO as not to shed hairs on
the plate. | smoke tobacco to clear the
atmosphere of poisonous fumes.
leave the doors ajar to avoid making
noise In the atelier. | drink ale at
night so as not to fall into the whisky
habit. and ! shove my knife into my
mouth to avoid sticking myself with
the fork"
Verify thou art a great philoso
pher." said the partner. Now we
shall be friends. and thus We'll make

GOOD WORK
Being DONE
By BRADSHAW
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE JOHN
ANDERSON HIGHWAY CONTINUE
ROAD is NOW IN EXCELLENT
CONDITION AT NORTH END OF
COUNTY AND STRETCH IS
HEIGHTENED.

That w. D. Bradshaw, the new
county road supervisor, is entering
earnestly into his work and is carry
ing out the instructions given him
by the new board Of county commits
sioners, is shown by the improve
ments already made on the John
Anderson highway in the north end
of Volusia county.
Supervisor Bradshaw began his
duties by improving the road on the
peninsula between Seabreeze and
Ormond and has lessened the pulls"
by filling in the sandy spots with
palmetto leaves. This work is tenn
porary, but puts the highway in bet
ter condition than it was until the
hardsurfacing can be done.
Mr.. Bradshaw now has the county
convicts at work on the John Ander-
son highway between Ormond and
Number 8, and, acting under the in
structions given him by the county
board, will finish up this work to the
north until it meets the hardsurface
stretch running south from the north
county line.
From a point a short distance
north of Number to the county
line and for some distance over into
ST. Johns county the road has been
shelled and put into excellent CON
dition. Much OF this work has been
done by Mr.. Bradshaw, while he was
serving as county commissioner, and
much of it has been done by L. b.
Knox, of Beed, Knox & Beed, at his
own expense. Mr.. Knox is one Of
the most consistent and substantial
good roads boosters In this section
of the state and he has been a con-
slant booster for the completion of
the John Anderson highway. From
/ the manner in which the work is now
being carried on by the yousia
county commissioners, and the wori
which is being done by the st.
Johns county board, it looks now like
the John Anderson highway win soon
be completed from st. Augustine
through to the south yolusia line.
Under the direction Of Mr.. Brad
shaw the roadway is being cut
out to a uniform width of 24 feet
and the work is being made perma-
nent as it is carried forward. With
the cutting away of the trees and
scrubs the roadway is being Ievelled
and put into condition to receive the
she'll and before the beginning Of
next season this through road from
st. Johns county to Brevard county,
through Volusia, will be in excellent
condition for travel.
Ii the st. Johns county board will
enter as enthusiastically into the
work of improving the highway as
the Volusia commissioners have done
the road will be finished and hard.
