tion where a quarantine has been de-
clared of cattle under government in
spection for hoof and mouth disease.

HENRY BENEDICT STRICKEN.
Prominent Resident of the Town of
Randall has Paralytic Stroke
While on Visit in City

Henry Benedict, " years of age, and
one of the best known of the pioneer
residents of the district about Powers
Lake, was stricken with paralysis in
Kenosha just after seven O'Clock
Wednesday night and his condi-
tion is regarded as critical At
the time he was stricken, he was
guest at the home of Mrs. G. W. Griffin
at the corner of Prairie avenue and
Sheridan Road. Mr.. Benedict who had
been in excellent health came to Keno
sha on Wednesday morning, making the
trip from his home in the western part
of the county by automobile. In the
evening he had gone to the Griffin home
to take some friends to theatre. He
was waiting for them when he was
stricken. He fell to the floor and when
his friends reached him he was only
partially conscious. He had lost con-
troll of his powers of speech. DR.. III. A.
Robinson was hurriedly called to at
tend the stricken man and while it was
reported that he was resting easier this
morning, his condition was regarded
as critical. Later he was removed to
the Kenosha hospital.
Henry Benedict is one of the best
known men of Kenosha county. He
was a pioneer in the western part of
the county and had much to do with
the development of the town of Ran
dali. He is brother-in-law of former
Secretary of State E. G. Timme and
Henry FL. Timme former sheriff and
now general superintendent of the
street railway lines. Mr.. Benedict was
the first man in Kenosha county to
appreciate the possibilities Of Kenosha
county lakes as summer resort proper
ty. His summer resort at Powers Lake
was the pioneer in this section of the
state and it was for many years visited
by many prominent people from Chica-
go and other cities. Mr.. Benedict has
large property interests in the western
part of the county.

SAW GREAT GROWTH OF OFFICE
Covered One Route for More Than
Thirteen Years and Carried More
Than 100000 Pounds of Mail Mat
ter from Office in Long Service.

After tramping seventy-fve thousand
miles over the sidewalks and roads of
Kenosha, Raymond Morehouse, third
oldest member Of the free mail delivery
service in Kenosha, resigned his posi-
ton today and his resignation will go
into effect Friday morning. It will be
just sixteen years to day since More
house first donned the gray suit Of a
mail carrier and started out of the old
Kenosha post Office to cover a delivery
route. His service has been almost
continuous service and he. has figured
out that in the sixteen years he walked
$4,000 miles and carried 100000 pounds
of mail matter to people in Kenosha.
Morehouse started out on the old North
side route sixteen years ago Friday
and he covered that route for three
years. Then he was sent over to the
rather exclusive precincts Of Prairie
avenue, then the silk stockingo route
out of the post office and he has man
aged to keep peace among the patrons
and cover this route ever since.
When Morehouse went to work for
Uncle Sam in Kenosha, the post Office
was located down on Main street I'M
der "oia Simmons Hail. There. were
only four carriers and the city had a
population Of less than ten thousand
people. It was an easy thing in those
days for the four carriers to take care
of the entire city. When Morehouse
quits Friday morning, he will leave
eighteen carriers in the office and the
amount of mail carried by them will
be many times the amount carried in
the old days. A friendly turn Of the
sary for Morehouse to continue on his
route as mail carrier and he is plan
ming to take a long rest. Later he may
go out to California to make his home.
His place on the local force will be
filled by the advancement Of Substi-
tute Larson.
The resignation of Carrier Morehouse
is regretted by his fellow workers.
Two of the carriers, Miller and DeDei-
mar, have been in the service longer
than Morehouse. The retiring carrier
has always been active in movements
for the advancement of the service and
he was one of the organizers of the Ke-
nosha branch of the civil service league.
He has served in many capacities in
organizations among the carriers.

MOTHERS NEED HELP.
Speaker at Hor-o Missionary Meeting
Sees Chance for Churches to
Do Much Good


81 feel that foreign mothers are ne
elected by our community said Mrs.
L. R. Fink in an interesting talk given
yesterday afternoon before the Home
Missionary society of the Methodist
church in the residence Of Mrs. Frank
Erickson, 555 West street.
Kenosha is doing splendid work
in its care of the children Of foreign
ers and of young men through social
centers and in the continuation schools
of the public school system, but there
is much left to be done for the moth
ers, and [ think this work should be
done by the churches through it's home
missionary societies. Mothers classes
could be established in which the moth
ers could be taught both religion and
other things that will make their lives
better. They could be taught many
things they would be better for know
ing in regard to care Of their children,
cookery, domestic science and other
allied arts"

BLUE BIRD ABOVE SALOON.
Searchers for the Symbol Of Happiness
Gould Have Found it Last Night
on Market Street.

Ol1 4x1d4hOb 0VAVOOs
1t WASH It a particularly fashionable
gathering, with women with shawls
over their heads, some of whom could
not speak word ofSEnglish, and great,
stalwart, calm-eyed workmen wearing
lumberjack coats, and quantities and
quantities of little children all dressed
in their very best clothes, their faces
scrubbed shiningly clean and their hair
brushed tightly to their heads. But
the real Christmas spirit was there,
smiles Wreathed the faces of children
and tired fathers and mothers alike,
and the real human kindness that is
what counts in this world could be felt,
the atmosphere was SO supercharged
with it.
There were no grouches because one
happened to have q little more atten-
ton than another and no sulks because
a somewhat more valuable present
landed in the lap of one than in that
of another little one.
The big Christmas tree in the corner
winked and blinked with its hundred
starlike eyes, the Christmas angel bal
anced in the top of the tree looked be-
nignly down, the children scuttled up
to the platform hen their names were
called and hurried through Christmas
poems in delightful, half-scared, ap-
pealing child-manner, little Capt. Flynn
with her big blonde braids sat at the
piano and played airs to which the
assembly sang songs of Christmas day
or to which little groups of the chill
dren marched to the platform and sang
pretty yuletide 7irs.
1t was the Christmas party of the
Salvation Army, given Tuesday night,
in the hall on Market street, up a long
flight of stairs, over saloon.
Blue Bird Of Happiness There.
That does not sound just exactly like
a festive location, but when one had
climbed the stairs and slipped in to
the big room where there were light
and warmth and goodfellowship and
heard thrilling woman's voice lifted
ings showered upon those present and
especially for the joy vouchsafed in
that meeting, the surroundings were
forgotten.
There was such note of sincerity
in it all that it was impossible to be in
The gathering without being impressed
by it. 1t was good to see the children
as they came in and trotted up to
Capt. Flynn or Adjt. Johnson and i'm
parted some little bit of information
which was always alphabetically re-
ceived. The unconventionality of it
all and the spontaneity appealed.
When the time for the distribution
of gifts arrived, joy was unconfned.
Most of the toys had been donated and
if the givers Of those cheap little ar
ticles could have seen the sparkle in
the eyes of the children to whom they
were handed and watched the abandon
of merriment with which they danced
around with their possessions in their
hands, those givers would have known
what is meant when it is said that he
who gives is thrice blessed.
And the mothers were not neglected.
All that were needy had a gift of
stockings, one pair for herself and a
pair for each of the children.
And through it all, the angel on the
Christmas tree looked happily down
and smiled on what it saw.

WHITE RIBBONERs HAPPY.
Local w. G. T. U. President and Mem.
bers are Rejoicing Over Big Anti
LIQUOR Victories.

"The local Woman s Christian Tenn
perance union is rejoicing greatly"
said its president, Mrs. [. G.. Barbour,
152 Cedar street, "over the fact that
statewide prohibition goes into effect
on New Years day in Colorado, Iowa,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Ar
kansas. And, when Virginia closes the
doors of its saloons and shuts down its
breweries on November l, 1916, there
will be counted nineteen states in the
union from which the liquor interests
are banished. More than that in 1916
the states of Nebraska, California,
Michigan, South Dakota, Vermont and
the territory of Alaska will vote on
prohibition and it is expected that a
majority of them, perhaps all, will
adopt it.
Surely the sky has never looked
SO bright for the foes of liquor as they
Go at present.
"In Colorado alone 1000 bars were
closed. In the seven states that 90

jubilee meeting in Wsukegan.
"While Wisconsin has not accom-
plished as much along prohibition lines
as some other states, we are not dis
couraged, especially as the gain in
membership in the W. G. T. U. of the
state was 1,607 in 1915, and in Keno
sha the union gained twenty-seven new
members, making total of sixty sew
