PEppLERS OF GLOOM.

PeddlerS O1 groom are ueIfl- ment to any community.
 Gloom is one of the poorest Of all the lighter human assets.
 Melancholia is disease of the mind which finds many ways of expressing itself in the ordinary affairs of life. 1t is not necessary for a person to be afflicted with maniacal melanchOlia, or melan- cholic mania, in order to become a nuisance and a general detri- ment to the community.
 Just plain, ordinary, but con- stant complaining will do the work.
 Men and women who constant ly complain, who knock and nag, who see nothing but dark fore bodings in the events of the day, who smell disaster and ruin in every trihing reverse which comes to them, or their fellows, are detrimental nuisances; and yet every community has it's fair quota of these peddlers of gloom.
 They never see the rift in the clouds; they never see the smil- ing fields of plenty; they never catch the cheerful contagiOn which makes their fellows happy and fills their lives with the light and laughter of buoyant hopes and beautiful dreams sure to come true, for always they are depressed by fears that are fan ciful and vain. There is not much of sweetness in life for these weavers of shadows, for they browse in thistled pastures and feed on unwelcome things.
 They become chronic grunt- CTS, and lose completely that boise of mind which would give them a saner outlook upon the play of forces which cnmesh them.
 Often the good OF bad we see in the world is in ourselves.
 Our biggest problem, as a Eulc. is in the mirror.
 If We froWn, our problem frowns.
 If we smile, our problem smiles, and our difficulties seem to melt away.
 PaddlerS of gloom speak of hard times; and instantly the miserly money grabber hurrles to his vault with his gold, buries it in a box, locks the heavy door, and ehouliShly predicts a rise in the per centum.
 It is the way of the world.
 There is not enough money i'll the world to liquidate the debt gloomy talk and gloomy predlc- tions have unloaded upon us. What we want and need today and tomorrow is fewer peddlers of gloom, and more men and Wo- men of sanity and good cheer to peddle sunshine.--Seattle Sun.

POSTAL RULES VIOLATED
People Send Tinsel Postal Cards With
out Proper Coverings for Them.

1t is announced by the officials at
the local postoffiee that great num-
Der of tinsel postcards are continually
being mailed at the postotfice and that
they are not properly covered. The
cards have to be in sealed envelopes if
they are tinseled or they will be send
to the dead letter office. Another
form of cards that the postoffice of
hcials are having trouble with, is the
cards that have something attached to
them and also have written matter on
them. If they have both it costs two
cents to send them and people are CON
tinually mailing them with regular
one cent stamp 1t is also a question
whether they can be mailed with a
regular one cent stamp without the
written matter as the majority of
them are merchandise and they might
require parcels post stamp. The gov
eminent authorities have not notified
the office to this effect I'D to the pres
emit time.

SEEK HORSE THIEF HERE.
Walter Shepherd Sought by Zion City
Police in Jail Here Friday Morning.

The police of Kenosha have been
asked to make an effort to secure the
arrest of Walter Shepherd former
Zion City man, who is wanted in that
city on charges of horse stealing. The
horse is alleged to have been stolen
some time Friday night or early this
morning. Shepherd came to Kenosha
from Zion City on Thursday evening
and he was locked up at the city lock-
up on charges of vagrancy. Chief
O'Hare notified the officials at Zion
that the man had a particularly good
looking coat, but after an investiga-
tion they declared that Shepherd was
not wanted for stealing the coat at
Zion. This morning word came that
the horse had been stolen and that the
coat had belonged to the same man
who lost the horse. Shepherd had a
return ticket for Zion City when he
was turned cut Friday morning and the
officials believe that he returned to
Zion last night and made away with
the horse. He has not been seen IN
Kenosha today.

LEFT CHILD WITH NEIGHHORS
Harry D. Stanford, Former Wel-znown
Kenosha Man, Disappeared from
Houston, Tex, with Little Son Nine
Years Ago and has not been Found.

An unusual story was brought to
light in the county court this morning
when Mr.. and Mrs. Harry E. Remer
filed formal petition Tor the adop-
ton Of Mary Remer Stanford,
aged thirteen years, niece of
Mrs. Remer and daughter Of Harry
d. Stanford, formerly a well known
resident of Kenosha and Pleasant
Prairie. The petition asks that the
court name guardian for the little
girl in order that consent may be CIV
en- for the formal adoption of her by
Mr. and Mrs. Remer. In the petition
it is stated that the present where
abouts of the father of the child are
unknown and that for long period
be has shown no interest in the we'll
fare of the little girl.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanford were well
known in Kenosha fifteen years ago
and in 1902, shortly after the birth
of the daughter, they left Kenosha and
went to Houston, Texas, where Stan
ford was engaged in business. A lit
tic boy was the other member of the
family. In the fall of 1908 Mrs. Stan
ford died and almost Immediately af-
ter her death, according to the petit
tion, Stanford took his little son and
left Houston. The daughter was left
with Mrs. Hefty, who had beer. /
neighbor of the Stanfords. Mrs. Hef-
ty had great liking for the little
girl and she took her into her family
and cared for her, After Stanford
left Houtson he made no effort to keep
track of the daughter and it is claim
ed by the attorneys that for nine years
Mrs. Hefty heard nothing from him.
Eleven months ago Mr.. and Mrs. Re-
mer went to Houston and asked that
the little girl be turned over to them
for adoption and after considerable
delay Mrs. Hefty consented to allow
the little girl to come to Kenosha and
she has since made her home here.
Since the child was brought to Ke-
nosha efforts have been made to find
some trace of her father, but these eff
forts have been futile. 1t is thought
possible that Stanford may have met
with death or accident as previous to
the death of his wife he had always
taken the greatest nte~est in his two
children. Nothing has been heard of
the little boy. The case is a very I'M
usual one. 1t is expected that the
court will grant the petition for adop-
tion and that Mary Stanford will be
formally adopted as a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Remer.

HITS BOGUS SEERS
State Assembly Passes Bill
Denying Fortune Tellers a
License in the State.
kENOSHA INTERESTED IN BILL

Aroused over Assemblyman, Carpen-
ter s recital of wrongs following in the
wake OF gypsy fortune tellers, the COM
mittee on public welfare unanimously
recommended his anti-fortune telling
bill for passage. Robbery, petty
thievery, fraud, bunco games, seduc-
tion and murderous assault were
enumerated by the Baraboo represen-
tative as examples of their evil char
acter. He admitted he had had per-
sonal experience with the gentry, a
gang of the wanderers once stealing
his preserves stored in his cellar.
Mr.. Carpenter declared that one Mil
waukee fortune telling agency occu-
pies a suite of rooms in a large office
building and gives the police and de-
tective agencies constant trouble
Assemblyman Gorecki of Milwaukee,
affirmed this statement and .emphatical-
ly endorsed the BILL
Assemblyman Carpenter recounted
the history Of "Prof. = Allen, an erst-
while fortune teller of Baraboo, Madi-
son and Lacrosse, recently sent to
state S prison from the latter city for
ten year term for seduction. He
said Allen piled the clairvoyant trade
with ruinous results to two girls liv-
ing near Reedsburg.
This class of people are a bunch
OF lmpostors and plagued nuisance
said Carpenter. ''They do nobody
any good, are not needed in any COM
munity, and live off weak-minded peo-
pie who believe in their gilded prom
ises. While the women of the tribe
are telling your fortune, the men are
ransacking your houses. Most states
have laws against them, and as a con-
sequence they are dumped into Wis
consin. They work the county fairs
and even the state fair, and pack Of
thieves go along with them. No one
ever heard of them doing days
work. y
The bill was unopposed.

MUST PROVIDE WATER.
Northwestern Railway Being Urged to
Adops Some System for Their Cars


Kenosha people and other north
shore patrons Of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad are likely to
suffer from thirst this summer if the
road does not do, something in the way
of providing drinking water. Recent
ly the old-fashioned water tanks were
removed from most Of the cars, it be-
ing stated that they had been con-
demned as unsanitary. What local
patrons Of the road would like to see
installed is the new style inverted
bottle coolers.
The removal of the old fashioned
water coolers was caused by law
which pronounced them to be unsani-
tary. This law followed close Oh the
law which abolished the public drink
ing cup. The Northwestern owes It to
its patrons to provide some means of
quenching thirst. Patrons say it is not
fair for the road to allow the little
item of cost to stand in the way
So far as providing sanitary drink
ing cups are concerned the road would
not need to do this unless it really de-
sired to do so for little vending ma
chine could be placed beside the water
coolers and anyone who wished could
purchase one of the cups by dropping
a cent in the slot. There are many
people who carry collapsible cup.
The hot weather will soon be here
and unless something is done at once
patrons Of the trains are liable to en-
counter considerable inconvenience.
The Northwestern is repairing and
remodeling the laborers box cars and
shanties along its line by adding sharp
roofs, small verandas, etc., which will
make them more attractive as well
as giving the workmen nicer accommo-
dations. These improvements have been
seen at several points along the line
and the intention is to make the
changes all along the line as rapidly
as possible.

jured this morning when team Of
horses attached to milk wagon be-
longing to Fred Barter ran into his
automobile. Jacobs was running his
car west on Grand avenue when the
team turned the corner of West Main

the automobile and the milk wagon

The people who are kicking at the
police for enforcing the speed ordinance
are barking up the wrong tree. The
council carries the responsibility for
she ordinance and it is declared that the
city would welcome any kind of test
of the measure in any court. Perhaps
the police are serving the men who OBJ
ject to the enforcement of the ordinance
against all alike better than they know.
If the measure is as unpopular as some
of the men who object to its enforce
ment claim it is, the surest way to get
it repealed is to enforce it.

POSTMASTER EF..EEaDS THE LIST
Pact Commander Martin Of the Grand
Amy is in Charge of the Work of
Getting up Charter List Of Kenosha
Camp to be Instituted in few Weeks.

John G. Martin of Madison, past COM
mander of the Grand Army of the Re-
public is in Kenosha actively at work
organizing the Kenosha Camp Of the
Sons of Veterans and it is expected that
the new camp will be formally insti-
tuted within the next two weeks. Past
Commander Martin expects to secure a
charter list for the Kenosha camp of
more than hundred members and the
work of recruiting is now well under
way. Postmaster Robert Verne Baker
had the distinction of being the first
member of the new camp recruited in
kenosha and the second recruit was
Judge George w. Taylor Of the Keno
sha county court. In speaking of the
work of the Sons of Veterans today
Past Commander Martin said:
"We feel certain that the new camp
to be instituted in Kenosha will be one
of the strongest in the state. Since
the days of the civil war Kenosha has
been known as q hot bed of patriotism
and the members of the Grand Army
feel certain that the sons and grand
sons of the veterans of the rebellion
will be ready and willing to enlist under.
the banner of the Sons of Veterans. A
poll made Of Kenosha shows that there
are more than 500 sons and grand-sons
of men who served in the civil war re-
siding in Kenosha and we feel certain
that a large majority of these men and
boys will be ready to unite with the
new organization.
Commander Charles E. Likes of the
Grand Army is aiding Past Commander
Martin in securing the list of charter
members for the new camp and an eff
fort will be made in the next few days
to visit large majority of the sons
business and professional men of Ke-
nosha are eligible to membership in the
Sons Of Veterans and it is expected that
large number of these men will be
named on the charter roll. 1t is not
the intention of the men now in charge
of the mastering of members of the
new camp TO close the charter roll at
the institution of the camp, but it will
be held open for a few months to allow
the officials of the camp TO secure new
members.
The members of the Fred S. Lowell
Post of the Grand Army are taking an
especial interest in the organization of
the new camp as these men who served
in the various Wisconsin regiments dur
ing the civil war expect that the work
they have started will be carried on by
the members of the Sons of Veterans.
In many of the cities of the state the
Sons of Veterans are taking up the
work outlined by the Grand Army along
patriotic lines and this is expected to
be done in Kenosha.
Announcement of the date for the
mastering in Of the members of the new
camp will be made next week and the
ceremonies attending the institution
will undoubtedly be noteworthy.
