Pretty Tradition of Moss Rose.


A German tradition gives the origin
OF the moss rose as follows: Once
upon a time an angel, having a mis-
sion of love to suffering humanity,
came down to earth. He was much
grieved at all the sin and misery he
saw, and all the evil things he heard.
! Being tired, he sought place where
in to rest, but as 1t Jared with his
master, so it Jared with him, there
was no room for him, and no one
would give him shelter. At last he lay
down under the shade of a rose. and
slept till the rising sun awoke him.
Before winging his fight heavenward
he addressed the rose aud said, as it
had given him the shelter which man
denied, it should receive an enduring
token Of his power and love, and so,
Leaf by leaf, and twig by twig, the
soft green moss grew around the
stem, and there it is to this day, a
cradle in which the newborn rose
may lie, proof, as the angel said,
of Gods power and love.-Boston

GIRL TELLS STORY OF LIFE
Admits on the Witness Stand That She
Was Never Married to Carey but that
She Lived With Him as His Wife in
Many Wisconsin Cities in three Years

Laura Fleuker, the Silver Lake young
woman who ran away with Arthur
Carey; furniture salesman three years
ago this week, gave evidence at Green
Bay on Monday afternoon which re-
suited in Carey, who posed as her hus-
band, being held to the federal grand
jury under the Mann act. At that Miss
Fleuger was an. unwilling witness for
the government and it was not until
she had been put on the witness stand
second time that she made state
ments which gave the government a
chance to act The father of the young
woman appeared as a witness for the
government and was most active in
seeking to have Carey held to the
grand jury. The bonds of Carey were
fixed at $4,000 and he was sent back
to jail. The grand jury vii convene
in Milwaukee next week and Federal
Attorney Guy D. Golf expects to pre-
sent the evidence against the Silver
Lake pair TO the grand jury at this
session. Miss Fleuger, with her little
son, will remain at Green Bay pend
ing the further hearing of the case ana
her mother, who went to Green Bay
from Silver Lake, at the time of the
arrest of the pair, will remain With her.
The government nearly failed in it's
case while Miss Fleuker was on the
stand as witness called by the govern
ment and it was only after she had
been called back by the defense that
testimony of real value was brought
out by Attorney Golf.
On cross examination the girl gave
a detailed history of her living with
Carey since 1910, but insisted he did
not pay Ler transportation from any
point within one state to another.
She testified that she and Carey
walked eleven miles from her home in
Silver Lake across the line to Antioch.
She claimed she had over $50 with her
at the time. She said they later went
to Chicago and remained I'LL they went
to Waukegan, where they stayed sew
eral days. From there Carey went to
Chicago and she to Racine.
They met in Racine later and when
she wrote home for her trunk her faith
er came and she departed with him,
only to go away with Carey again in
q short time later in an ANTON chile
She was not sure where they went, but

If NAV be argued with considerable
force that more harm than good has
been done by the illumination OF moral
lists against the slit skirt and dlapha-
nous gown. What these philippics have
done in chief is to emphasize the COM
paratively few cases of extreme styles
and kept the prurient aspect of the
subject constantly before the public.
The mind that is stirred to evil by
the slight revealment of the average
slit skirt needs no special excitant. 1t
is unwholesomely prurient and will find
evil anywhere. 1t is childish to believe
it's prurience can be so created. Pur-
lists are constantly exaggerating the
Importance of stimuli and attacking
symptoms instead of causes.
If there were more sermons preached
against impure thoughts and fewer
against objects, often of themselves
quite innocent, which purists are afraid
will stir impure thoughts, more progress
would be made. If our minds are so
mclean that we cannot see the lines
of woman Is body without impure sug-
gestion, the cure should be applied to
us, not to her. eff thine eye offend
thee, pluck it out, y has a meaning as
valid now as ever.
Any style can be made suggestive by
the wearer or by the imagination Of the
observer We cannot adopt a style
proof against either.-Tribune.

thought to some small station and rode
by train to Madison. From Madison
the couple went to Green Bay.
The young woman admitted going tc
Minneapolis and meeting Carey there
some time in April or May OF 1912.
She came back into Wisconsin alone.
she said, and lived with Carey as his
wife at Watertown, Madison. Lake
Mills, and Green Bay after that time.
She said she had not married Carey.
The girl S father testified that af.
ter he met Laura following Carey's ar.
rest that she told him Carey had fear.
ed arrest for three years and that he
had told her to say that she was en-
tireIy to blame for going away with
him. Laura denied telling her father
that story and endeavored to have the
court believe she thrust herself on
Carey.
The girl admitted Carey was the
father of child born to her last June.
Once when she returned home, Mrs.
Fleuker said, Laura told her she was
ashamed because she feared she could
never marry Carey, as he had a wife
living in Chicago.

No Ideas Necessary.

Once upon time there was young
man who had urgent literary aspira-
tions, but nothing to say. In his ex-
trernity he went to the Sage and asked
him what to do about it.
Write, my son, write" advised the
Sage.
The young man followed this advice.
He wrote diligently, and 10! his
writing became very popular and
his name was famous throughout the
land.
How do you explain it?" asked a
critic of the Sage one day.
1T is very simple, replied the Sage.
"As the young man had no ideas,
there was nothing to distract him
from a strict attention to literary
style, which he developed to point OF
pefection.
But what is. literary style worth
without idec&?" Queried the critic
Everything to the populace; moth
ing to the philosopher" declared
the Sage. Moral: Vox populi vox pop
uli.

Postoffice Department sends
Instructions for Handling
of the Christmas Mails.
URGE PATRONS TO SHIP EARLY

Instructions regarding the handling
of the Christmas mails in connection
with the parcel post system, have been
received at the Kenosha postofice from
Washington headquarters. This will
be the first holiday season that the par
eel post system has been in operation
and the department. at Washington is
taking special precaution to make sure
that the vast increase OF business will
move quickly and safely.
"The department. is DESTROYS that
the handling of the mails this year
shall be expeditiously and economically
managed with as little criticism as pos
sible and the public given the benefit
of quick and accurate TRANSPORTATION
and delivery were the instructions
sent to Postmaster R. v. Baker.
3We expect a great deal of parcel
post business during Christmas time
as nearly all the people will use the
mails to send their gifts and we have
arranged for a delivery wagon on
each side of the river and will add
new men to our force to secure
prompt dispatch, expressed one of the
local postoffice officials. .'In turn we
ask the cooperation of the public to
mail their holiday gifts as early as pos
sible and wish to revise the slogan, Do
your Christmas shopping early to
Send your Christmas gifts early At
tention is called to the fact that the
senders can place the words Do Not
Open Until Christmas on the parcels.
If the public will do this they will be
taking great step in helping the EN-
ployees of the postofice in the syste-
matte handling of the great volume of
mail, avoiding congestion and delay
Orders were given in the depart
ment circular to the postmaster that
employees should meet the situation in
such way that the public will be
thoroughly satisfied with the charac-
ter of the service.
