THE cabaret"
FAD

One Of the most conspicuous crazes
Of metropolitan city life for the past
two years has been the Cabaret" en-
tertainments at restaurants and hotels
A dispatch from New York indicates
that the proprietors are finding them
too costly and would like to "chuck"
them. Also theaters~ are feeling the
competition.
|. Judging from the generous space
taken by advertising these resorts in
the newspapers, they must have at
tracted big business.
As form of public entertainment
they have seemed Frenchy rather than
American. They appear suited to the
atmosphere Of Cay Paree" where the
favorite entertainment is not drama or
athletics, but sitting in the open air
boulevard restaurants and watching
the styles go by.
The appetite OF modern society is
jaded, and it demands its constant nov
elites and spicy. seasoning. Probably
tae "C15orot1' were popular at first
because the. seemed foreign and
Frenchy. The public demand is SEN
suous, and it calls for color and motion
and rag-tin1e and high kicking. The
cabaret entertainments have been no
better and no worse than theater per-
formances. The foot light artists
simply came down among the dining
tables. Tae advanced modern Ameri-
can lied it because he could kill sew
eral birds with one stone, eat, drink,
and see q vaudeville slow at the same
ire
For the mass Of the people She exot-
ic manners Of New York City will not
be necessary. Extraneous diversions
should not be essential to make well
Tar~od noel rsIa.ahIe. IF you are with
friends, the social converse of the hour
should be enough. Otherwise, the hui
man drama played at the tables about
you is cabaret enough. Fragments of
conversation, the study Of faces and
obaeT ~ation Of types, the speculation
as to chara~tcr and ocupations, these
clone mike any public dining hall full
of hur2ln interest.

WISCONSIN
COUNTY Names

The naming of Green County is a
question Of dispute among historians
Some maintain that it. was So called
in honor Of Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
the famous hero of the Revolutionary
War, who saved the patriotic army
from rout at the battle of Brandy
wine, and later commanded the sue
cessful campaign against CORVALLIS
in the South. Others assert that it
was so named upon suggestion. Of
William Boyle, the first representa-
tive of the county in the legislature,
as result of the green appearance
Of it's vegetation The latter explain
alton. though more prosaic than the
former, seems to be borne out by the
fact that the name of the county, I'M
like that of the General, is spelled
without the final e.
Green Lake County was named for
its principal body of water, beauti-
full sheet, whose distinctly greenish
color caused the early French settlers
70 call it Lac Verd, or Green Lake.

YEGGS Captured
BY STEVENS
POINTOFFICERS
Men Said To Be Wausau Robbers In
Custody. Make Confession.

Chief of Police Eofsoos Of Stevens
Point, Sheriff Guyant and Undersheriff
Hess of Portage county captured two
men at a house just south Of Stevens
Point Wednesday night The men are
thought to be the men who robbed a
Wausau business house.
The men captured gave their names
as Harry Partridge, who claims ST.
Paul, Mimi, as his residence, and Will
liam Mccarthy, who says Bay City,
Mich, is his home.
Mccarthy was given the third de-
gree by the officers and told in sub
stance the following story.
He met Partridge III a box car at
Wausau and the pair went to hotel
in Stevens Point, later going to the
house where they were captured. Nc
Carthy said that Partridge told him
that, he (Pantridge) had blown two
safes at Stanley, and had done jobs in
Merrill and Waupaca and that he and
a pal robbed business house in Wau-
sau and that his companion had been
caught while attempting to get away.
Mccarthy said further that Partridge
was the man who had robbed a saloon
at Starks and who in getting away
shot Arthur Rood and Hans Anderson.
Partridge is also said to have planned
robberics in Sherry.
The confession of Mccarthy prac-
ticaIly assures the conviction of Pan
fridge in the Wausau robbery. John
son, the pal Of Partridge was cap
tured the night Of the robbery by Ed
ward Stoddard, superintendent Of the
| Northwestern Dye Works, the busin-
ess place robbed by the two men.

ELLA WHEELER
WILCOX APPEALS
FOR BELGIANS
Noted Writer Tells of the Xmas Din
ner Table Envelope of &C r. B.
BROTHERHOOD
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

God, what a world, if men in streets
and mart,
Felt that same kinship of the human
heart,
Which makes them, in the face of fire
and good,
Rise to the meaning of True Brother
hood.
The commission for Relief in Bel
GUM has been reinforced by a commit
tee appointed by President Wilson.
This committee is making nation
wide Christmas appeal for the desti-
tute women and children in Belgium
and Northern France. There. are three
million women and children who are
suffering from cold and hunger, des-
titute, war refugees. Many of these
people were reared in comfort and
some of them in luxury In a day, in
a few hours, war deprived them of all
their possessions. Home, clothing,
means of income, were all swept away
from them.
At this distance it requires a strong
imagination to picture the misery of
these people But the facts are incon-
trovertibIe. Every individual who is
able to enjoy good meal on Christ
mas Day should feel it a solemn duty
to enclose a dollar bill in the dinner
table envelope which will be passed
on Christmas Day through the efforts
of the Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM. Good, reliable, honest men COM
pose this committee and there is no
reason to fear that the money donated
will not reach its proper destination
Give what you can, but give some
thing. You will never be poorer, and
some little child or some poor mother
will receive the comfort of a pair of
shoes or a warm garment through
your contribution.
Our souls should be vessels receiving
The waters of love for relieving
The sorrows of men.
For here lies the pleasure of living:
Il taking Gods bounties, and giving
Tic gift back again.

Cincinnati, Dec 23.-Representa-
tives of the Federal, American and Ma
tional leagues tonight signed an agree
ment which eliminates the third cir
cult from the baseball map of this
country.
AS soon as the signatures had been
appended it was announced that Char
les H. Weeghman, president of the
Wales, had acquired the Cubs and the
West Side team will be moved to the
North Side. Joe Tinker will be mana
ger and the best players on both teams
will be retained. ~
Second in Importance to the trans
fer of the Cubs was the purchase of
the Browns by Phil Ball, a deal which
was also made official.
Outside of these two every Federal
League owner is out of the game, and
as a playing organization the third
league is now only a memory.

Idle waiting is likely to result in

To get full value from church work
we must put valuable efforts into that

Substantial hope for success results
from earnestness and activity.
In every church Of this community

In every congregation in this COM

q hope that the spiritually unemployed
get busy.
In every normal character there is
a desire to do something and be some
thing that will be for the benefit OF
the world in general.
Organizing the recruits into COM

and gathering in recruits makes happy
hearts everywhere.
The work Of the churches is done by
volunteers-the individuals who ap-

who realize that there is some one

Word comes from Wallace, Idaho,
that commercial ore has been found
in the Hector mine, owned largely by
the George family, in a vein that was
~intersected months ago. Arthur
George, the manager, has penetrated
1900 feet on a cross cut to ~intersect
the main vein and indications point
to the near presence of an ore body
But just now interest centers III
assays of ore in a vein intersected by
the cross-cut at $3.50 feet in. The re-
suits show good zinc as well as lead
values,the per cent of zinc running
from 8.4 to 1876 per cent and lead
from SO to 1879 in three samples
assayed. The first of May work was
started drifting east and west on this
vein and Manager George expects by
fall to know the extent of the ore
shoot and, if the showing warrants
money is in sight for a mill.

Those Who Have Dwell Therein Have
Learned a Lasting Lesson.
They that have experienced a great
sorrow IRE born again. The world
they are now III is quite different from
their old world. In that earlier world
they lived upon terms OF household
familiarity With Joy and felicity. Now
they must lie down by the side OF sOr.
row and cut with sorrow beside them
at the board. Outward things may as
sert their identity to eye. to ear, to
touch, but outward things cannot de-
ceive the spirit within. The house OF
sorrow is strange, all Its furniture Is
strange, and the newcomer must learn
anew how to live.
The first lesson Is to accept the past
as a beautiful day that is done, as the
loneliness OF n rose that has withered
away. The object Ut our yearning
has passed from the world OF actual
contacts into the world OF art. Mem.
DRY may paint the picture as 1t will.

beauty of our exquisite less in all the
golden glow OF human. happiness.
There, within the shrine prepared by
sorrow, that picture will ever refresh
US and bless Us. Evil cannot touch it,
nor III will, nor envy, nor sordid care.
Only our own faithfulness, our own
acceptance Of unworthy things. can
stain the freshness Of its beauty. Sor-
row has constituted us the sacristans
