REALISM CARRIED TO EXCESS
Lack of Drapery Would Seem to Have
Furnished Excellent Incentive for
Maternal Slipper.

A mother in Worcester, Mass, who
had orthodox views, had told her chill.
dren the Garden of Eden story. The
children were greatly impressed. One
afternoon, returning from town, the
mother found the palms and ferns had
disappeared from the veranda. Going
into the darkened living-room she saw
one of the boys, minus clothing, re.
clinlng under a big fern, while anoth.
er, equally clothesless, was standing by
a palm. They enlightened her by ex-
planning that they were playing Adam
and Eve in the garden.
At that minute her youngest boy,
not three, came into the room as ma
ture had first given him to the world,
except that he wore a silk hat on his
head and carried a cane

One of the Tiniest of Books.

A copy of the English Bijou AL
manac, published in 1888, just sold
by auction in London, measures only
three-quarters of an inch by five
eighths, and is one-eighth of an inch
thick. 1t is enclosed in a morocco
case with a magnifying glass to enable
the buyer to read it. This curious
little book fetched only $40 when
put up for bids at Southeby's auction
rooms. The Bijou Almanac was pub
lished annually in London from 1895
to 1858, and was a wonderful little
s~torehouse of information i~nterspersed.

HAD THE LAUGH ON OFFICER
Policeman, Keen on Investigation, by
No Means as Sharp as He
Might Have Been.

A police officer tells an interesting
tale of an old woman he once had to
deal with. A batch of bank notes had
been stolen and the detective found
some n to tell him that the old wom-
an n question:, a notorious fence"
had n of the notes, at least, at her
house.
So implicitly did the detective rely
upon his informer that he set aside
the formality of a search warrant and
proceeded to visit the old woman's
house, locked the doors on the inside
and rummaged the rooms from cellar
to roof. He is an officer who prides
himself on his keen scent in a search,
but he was completely baf1ed; and
after tearing up some boards and
knocking down some plaster by way
of making a show of doing something,
while he waited for a new idea, at
last he gave it up.
Turning to the woman and handing
her back a candle which she had lent
him to work with, he said:
well, this time l confess l am
beaten. Tell US where it is, mother,
and I'll get you off,"
The promise was suf1 cient.
You've had it in your hand most of
the time" she said, land gave it me
back this minute. It's wrapped round
the candle."-Tit-Bits

unable to make effective protest-he
saw nobody. And he worked harder
than he had ever worked before.
Yet somehow the panel painting
made little progress. The fact is,
Quincy found what many people have
found: that it is easier to be alone in
company than when one has ones
own thoughts for companions. Life
in this old English house proved de-
lightfully puzzle-provoking. He ex.
plored every nook of the rambling old
building. But he always came back
to the long central hall, where the
portraits of the Eppings hung.
They hung in their gilded frames,
stiffly decorous, these dead lords and
ladies of Epping Manor, ranging from
Sir Thoman Epping, in doublet and
leather stockings, who had been
knighted for heroic action against the
Spaniards in the days of King James,
to the late James Epping, Esq, mem
Der of parliament, in the conventional
frock coat of modern society. Some
OF them bore anne upon the frames,
but she was unnamed, this beauty of
the long ago, dressed in the big Gains
borough hat and wide-sleeved gown of
the days Of the third George.
Quincy was fascinated by this pic
ture. 1t embodied more than any pic
ture he had ever seer the woman of
whom he had secretly dreamed. He
had never met her, had not even ac-
knowledged his own secret romanc
until he saw her face look out at his
from the canvas. And she must have
been dead nearly a century!
When one lives alone one is prone
to gain rein to fancies which the nor
NAL man, because they are abnormal,
easily represses. Gurney's work was
abandoned; he would spend hours be-
fore the picture, gazing at the face
that was bent down toward his. His
fanc1es became almost realities.
Work? He don't work any more"
said old Mrs. Smith, the village Cos
sip. He just moons around and
stares at the pictures. 1 think the
young man must be in love. When
ALI was counting me he looked just
that silly"
In due time this piece of news
reached the ears Of the ~kind-hearted
Mrs. Epning. Sba had already for

HIS SECRET; LOVE
Romance of the Painting of the

thought.
you see," the man continued con-
identially, "it's too quiet a place for
Mrs. Epping and Miss Sylvia. While
old Mr.. Epping was alive it was q
home to them. But since he's been
dead they've wanted to get away from
the sights that perpetually reminded
them of BIN. One can't blame them
for that. So they've moved into the
new mansion owe at Chilworth, three
miles distant. But for a gentleman
who wants quiet-why, this is just the
place"
Quincy agreed cordially with this
sentiment. He was spending the year
in England and meant to have at least
six weeks alone to finish his great

the public library in his home city
had held out to him the hope of rec
ognition and success after his many
years Of loneliness and poverty.
Mrs. Epping's a bit of an invalid"
the agent said day, just after
Quincy had moved in. "She says she'd
be very pleased to make your ac-
quaintance If you would care to call
any afternoon at Chilworth."
He scowled at me something aw-
full" the agent told Mrs. Epping af-
terward. "He seems cut out to be a
hermit, that young man does"
well, I'm sure we shan't intrude
upon his loneliness" declared Miss
Sylvia, with ~pardonable hauteur.
Quincy wanted nothing better. The
loneliness Of the place appealed to
him. Except for old Mrs. Smith, who
came in daily to cook for him and to
tidy such parts of the manor as she
could contrive to clean while Quincy
was busy with his work-and therefore

while the old building is being de-
molished and new one built.
A ordinance providing for the re-
laying Of pavement was brought be
fore the council. It makes radical
changes in the amounts to be deposit
ed by contractors for taking up por-
rions Of improved street. The deposit
for naeadam streets is fixed at $I00
a square yard, for brick with crush
ed stone foundation $50, brick
with q concrete foundation $500 and
asphalt $3.50. In some cases the fee
has been considerably more than
doubled but the engineering department
holds that the rates fixed are about
the actual cost of replacing the pave
ments.
It had been expected that City En-
gineer August Baltzer would ask for a
leave of absence but no communica-
ton from the engineer was received
by the council.

HAD TROUBLES cF THEIR OWN.
Bashful Couple Get Crossed Wires
When They Seek to Wed Here.

Cupid had troubles of his own in
Kenosha on Monday afternoon when
he sought to preside at the nuptials
of Hubert Rexroat Of Newton, Iowa,
and Emma Cavander Of Virginia, Ill.
The two came to Kenosha just before
noon Monday with view Of surpris-
ing their friends and it is evident that
some people in Kenosha suspected them
of being a bride and groom. The
groom was a little bashful and the
couple went to the Hotel Borup and the
bride started to arrange for the we'd
ding. She took the telephone with a
plan to arranging with the Rev. Peter
Stair, pastor of Park Avenue Church,
to have the ceremony at the parson-
age In her first attempt she drew a
butcher shop from the telephone com
pany and later on she managed to talk
to the Flower Shop, the undertaken,
and one of the well known attorneys
Of the city. There was lot of laugh
ing at the troubles of the bride but
she finally managed to get the minister
and the ceremony took place at the
parsonage just after one o'clock Mon
day afternoon. The couple will reside
near Newton, Ia, where Mr.. Rexroat
is a prosperous farmer.

VAST PROPERTY IS EXPOSED
Report Shows That the Total Loss Was
Only Little over $4,000 and it
Was Fully Covered by Insurance.
Makes Many recommendations.

Chief of the fire department, Henry
Isermann, has fled his annual report
for the year 1912 with the city clerk
and this report shows that during the
year just closed there was a total Of
one hundred and sixteen calls for the
service of the fire department of which
eighty-fve were box calls, eighty tele-
phone calls and one still alarm. Dur
ing the year $236,20000o worth Of
property was exposed to fire loss and
the total loss was 13,365.17. This loss
was covered by insurance amounting
to more than $128,800.
The chief estimates the value of the
property owned by the city for use
by the fire department. at $4l, 900 and
the equipment at $26,5o0. The most
notable addition made to the equip
ment Of the department during the
year was the purchase of the automo-
bile for the north side department..
The value of this automobile is placed
at $4,000. The most serious fire on the
list during the year was at the Kim
ball home on Prairie avenue where the
loss was estimated at $4,000 and in
surance to that amount paid. One loss
of $1,000 was paid to the Northwest
ern Railway Company~for the burning
of box car and loss of $2,770 was
paid on the building and contents of
the building owned by A. Wulf at the
corner Of Church and Wisconsin streets.
During the year one new fire alarm
box was installed, making a total of
fifty-nine boxes in service. The re-
port shows that the cost of maintain
ing the department for the year was
$l9,208.97, this including all expendi-
lures in the way Of salaries Of the men
and equipment for the various houses.

County Clerk Making Preparations for
Short Session of County Board.

County Clerk Jones is busily engag-
ed in making preparations for the
January session of the county board
which begins week from tomorrow.
1t is expected that the board will be
in session for several days. Auditor
Charles a.. Winke is busy with his
report and it will be ready for the
consideration of the board. The big
fight is expected to come over the Sc
lection Of a new site for the tuber-
culosis hospital. Members of the
special committee will probably have
several sites to offer to the board and
it is thought that one of the number
will be selected and arrangements
made for the work to go forward just
as soon as the building season opens.

sewer on Lyman layenne were pre-
sented to the council. The bonding
company which is planning to COM
plete the sewer notified the city attor-
ney that it would pay all of these
claims for labor, but that material men
must wait until final settlement was
made between the bonding company
and the contractors and the city. The
bills for labor are to be paid at the
offices Of the Kenofha Realty Company
when properly authenticated by the
! contractors.
The council after many months Of
! waiting passed the ordinance to reg
ulate travel in the city. The ordi-
nance is a drastic one and it will be
well for the drivers of all vehicles to
make study of it. The provisions Of
the ordinance have been repeatedly
published in this paper and only few
amendments were made to the ordi-
nance at the time of the passage.
Kenosha people who ride on street
cars will have to learn new habits as
the ordinance provides that the cars
must stop at the near side Of the
street crossings instead of at the far
side as has been in vogue in Kenosha
since the street railway was built.
The ordinance throws many safe
guards about the streets and street
crossings and lays down many laws in
regard to the use of vehicles and auto
! mobiles. 1t will be officially publish
ed on Thursday and will become ac-
tive after that time.
The resignation of Edward flaming,
who has served the city for the past
five years in the position of sidewalk
inspector, was received and accepted.
Several people were at the council
to object to assessments made on prop
erty for the tax levy, but they were
advised that the only course to be fol
lowed would be to pay the tax and
petition the council for rebate.
Under the law rebates may not be
given.
The Northwestern Railway Company
was ordered to put in gates at the
Middle street switch and steps will
be taken to have an investigation
Of the crossing by the railroad COM
mission if the order Of the council is
not carried out at once.
The council had long discussion of
the plans for the proposed engine
house on Elizabeth street. The com
mittee on fire department. recommend
ed the acceptance of the sketch of
Joseph LindL and that the work be
started at once. The committee held
that it would be impossible to use the
material in the Dayton street build
ing as they held that this building
must remain in service until a new
building is completed. The matter
was referred back to the committee
with orders to secure a definite esti-
mate of the cost and make an effort
to find some place TO house the fremen

TRAFFIC ORDINANCE PASSED
City Council Throws Many New Pro
tections About People Using Streets
of the City. Street Cars Must Stop
at Near Side of all Crossings.

The street assessment committee OF
che common council sent to the coun-
Gil on Monday evening a final esti-
mate as to the amount due the Cleary,
White, Newman Company for con-
gtructon Of the trunk sewer and the
committee holds that the total amount
due the company is in the neighborhood
Of $4,000.
In this estimate the committee has
made several allowances for extra
work done by the company, but where
This work was done it was done on the
order Of the council or the city engi-
neer. The amount allowed by the COM
nlittee for extras in this estimate is
close to $4,000. The council took no
action on the report Of the commit
tee, but it was received and placed on
file and will be held pending some re-
port from the contractors. 1t is prob
able that this demand will be in the
way OF SulI III court. LHe COHp duy
had announced its intention to present
final bill to the council at the meet
ing on Monday evening, but the attor-
neys for the contractors did not APP
pear at the city hall and no communi-
cation was received by the council
from them. The street assessment
committee placed the amount due the
contractors at this time at $S,325.84
and in addition to this is the ten per
cent held up pending the acceptance
of the sewer This amounts to
$13,651.50. Members of the council
took the stand that as yet many
claims against the company remained
unpaid and that the council did not
desire to make any settlement until
these claims were taken care of.
Many bills for labor and materials
in connection with the building of the
