CARY LAUDs SCHOOL.
State superintendent Pleased With Ke-
nosha' s School for Deaf But Asks
City to Pay Part.

Mrs. Mary d. Bradford, superin-
tendent of the city schools, is in re
ceipt Of letter from the state super
intendent, G. P. Cary, which is of gem
eral interest, in that it suggests that as
most of the school children in the local
school for the deaf are Kenosha chill
dren, the city should help bear the ex-
pense of maintaining the institution.
Heretofore the state has provided for
its maintenance from its treasury.
The letter follows:
sSMadison, Wis, Nov. "a, 1915.
"Inspector A. B. Cook reports having
visited the deaf school at Kenosha
Thursday. Nov. Is. The inspector is
pleased with the work which is done in
the school and in the very marked i'm
provement in the case of some of the
pupils, particularly Walter Hines. This
boy was a ease about which Mr.. Cook
was somewhat in doubt last year but
his progress during the last year has
been such that there seems to be rea-
son to hope that his retardation is not
permanent. The development in his case
will be watched with a great deal of
interest. The inspector does not feel
that the quarters III which the school
is now located are what they should be
but assures me that the school is not
kept there because anyone connected
with it thinks the location desirable,
but because it is at present the only
place available. / am pleased to hear
that there is good prospect of new and
desirable quarters for the school for
next year. For the past two years the
rent, janitor service and fuel for the
deaf school have all been paid out of
the deaf school fund. The department
feels that since practically all of the
pupils in this school are Kenosha chill
dren the City of Kenosha should fur
nish without cost to the state, room,
janitor service and fuel for this school.
Mr.. Cook reports having spoken of this
matter to you and trust that it will be
possible for you to have the school

4NTTDOTES
Soaring AlOay Prospective Suitors

Such a superhulty OF advice has Hooded
the feminine world on the ever green
proposition OF how TO secure tend and
guard masculine affection that It is hard
10 lnd anything original to offer on the
subject. That the necessity Of guarding
this masculine affection--however diluted
and feeble 1t be-should arise In the
Wholesale way IL has arisen Is decidedly
disconcerting. But such is the case. And
the effort--no matter how much Of a
fool the man may be. For some women
have followed the scriptural injunction
most literally and do indeed suffer fools
gladly"
However although many men will re-
fuse to believe IT, there is reverse side
20 the picture. Some women refrain from
racking their brains as to the due and
timely securing of masculine homage, and
even go farther In seeking to scare away
prospective suitors. If they are at all
soft-hearted, the methods they adopt for
tho soaring g-nway process are apt to be
crowned with poor success Like the con,
celted lover of the immortal Elizabeth
Bennett. the suitors may mistake a firm
and decided refusal for bashful encour-
agement. The complications that arise
are confusing to all parties.
There are some really sure recipes for
yet been known to fail, and these re-
cipes have been employed successfully for
generations. Unfortunately, their very
real efficacy has not always been clearly
understood by the fair manipulators-an
the latter have burnt their fingers and
their hearts In the process.
So the damsel who only thinks" that
she wishes to scare away some woud-be
suitor had better be rather careful as
to her way of handling these methods.
For they are unfailing remedies for the
cure of all lachrymose worshipers at her
shrine.
The first antidote for love is Contrari-
ness Let Angelina oppose her Edward
in all things conversational and in par
ticular in all things political and see
what happens! Moreover, let her have
real arguments and real knowledge of
her subject to back her up-and in the
war Of wits which ensues just let her
beat Edward in one or two instances
and he'll never get over it.
second antidote for love is a strong
sense of humor. If Angelina has n
strong sense of humor-oh, blessed sense
OF humor in a trying world!-she will
sometimes be forced to laugh at Edward.
But IL she values his affection she will
die rather than let him see that she is
laughing at him. For he will never,
never. never get over 1t IL he does see!
Let her laugh inwardly as much as ever
she wants to-but there 1t must end
unless she wants to scare him away.

che was crazy about him. But she had
a strong sense Of humor. She was

| American or Irish. But the man in the
case was English And his English sense
of humor was just little bit different
from her Scotch sense of humor. Herein
| lies the tragedy OF the piece.
Well, this Engllshman had a little
piece OF hair that wouldn't lie Nat on his
head, no matter how much he oiled IT,
And IL worried him dreadfuly.
He used to spend hours and hours
training 1t to lie down and worrying over
it-but all to no purpose. 1t was what's
known in Scotland as COWS lick"
That comical little tuft OF hair stood
up in its own comlcal way, for all the
world like the pictures of the immortal
Mr.. Micnwber.
The girl happened to belong to a Dick
ems society at that time. so OF course,
she saw pictures OF Mr.. Micawber. The
similarity in the uprearlng of that little
tuft of hair caught her eye at once. So
she christened her lover "Mr. Micaw-
ber"
And he never forgave her--no, indeed!
His vanity was outraged And all due TO
her sense of humor, too. 1t scared him

of humor is an antldote for male affec-
tion.
knew another man who was perfectly
crazy about a girl. She didn't reciprocate
the gentle passion unfortunately. 1t only
bored her. SO she determined to cure
him. And her plan had a wonderful sue
cess.
"Jim.' said she, one day, I'm going
shopping this morning. I've 10 stores to
visit, and I want you to come along and
carry the parcels"
So Jim" came. He was quite unsus-
plcious-but then love is blind.
At the first store he had to wait a solid
hour for her. He played around among
the spring millinery for while. and
even tried on a hat or two, facetiously,
for the amusement of the salesgirls. But
after a bit even that palled.
At the end of the hour the lady of his
choice appeared. just laden with par
cels-which of course, she handed over
to him. And they went to another store.
There she repeated the same perform
ance. But in this instance he had even
more parcels to carry than the first time.
After a bit he was a walking parcels
man. He grew hotter and hotter. and
crosser and crosser, but she didn't spare
him. Not she!
"It will be just like this after we are
married, JIM" she assured him cheer
fully. you are such dear, good fellow
and such a help
But he never was again. For she had
scared him away-as indeed she had in
tended to- The carrying of two dozens
packages for four hours on end is
splendid antidote for love. 1t is infalll-
