Our Evening Thought

dearer than the true friendship. There
is no friend like the old friend, the
one who has stood the test Of years,
and is always staunch and true. To
such as these our hearts cling with
a yearning tenderness and devoted
love.
This is a broad and beautiful
world with people of broad and bril-
liant intellect, whose lives seemingly
are perfect, without a blemish of sin
or suggestion Of criminal weakness.
So the innocent are led on in a happy,
mystic maze of purity until suddenly
they are brought TO remember that "a
parrot is for prattling priced, and
prattling woman is 10 be despised."
She who attacks another's honor
draws every living thing upon her.
Think, madam, when you stretch
your tongue, one slander will fifty
| beget; the world with interest pays
| these debts The above lines seem to
| leave the men out completely which,
| Oh COuESc, ID ilOL IlShbS AOl tiACAS eAi =
men in every town who are just as
| avid scandal mongers as the women.
No city or village seems exempt,
there are always too many persons too
loose with their tongues and too
ready to suspect evil or give voice to
evil thinking without the least foun-
dation. There is existing today toe
great and pronounced belief among
persons, especially those who cherish
narrow -mindness, to believe evil OF
men and women in every walk of life
and go out of their way to spread
their evil thoughts and loose, vulgar
talk upon the highways of persona
responsibility. 1t is a criminal weak
ness, a weakness that should be deal
with by every Christian organization
and civilized cities or villages in thi
Christian land. Cooperation agains
evil will add much to purify anC
mark the evil doers whose light i
not at all hidden under a bushel a
they would have their subjects be
lieve. Right living beams from tn
countenance, and the evil gossiper i
easily recognized and known by tn
light of an evil eye, which cannot b
hid.

Hanna, who is a strong, fine man is
enforcing the law. Miss Porter will
return at Christmas time and will
open her studio for voice and piano

Fashion dictates that our daughters
no longer make their "debuts-" 1t is
now the thing to remark that "my
daughter starts this winter" That
is the very latest and most up to date
dictum, instead of using the old for
mula, so Polly Peachtree says, and of
course she knows. 1t seems that
many girls object to being referred
to as debutants when they do not
make formal display of their en-
trance into the social world, and so
"start" is perhaps a better word to
use than "debuting" would be. Some
of the younger set it seems to me
were born started" and are yet busy
"going." Of course, debut parties vii
always be in style, and we hope to al
| ways have the beautiful girl tina
wishes to make her formal bow" t.
society, for it is dignified old tim'
custom, but "start" for many will b
good enough, especially for those who
well, who just will start.

Mrs. Mary Carter Asked Divorce from
Lew Carter Who Deserted Her
Soon After Marriage.

ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
William Cieslu1owski aud Henry Krah
Held on Charge of Selling
Liquor to Minor.

Two Kenosha saloon keepers, William
Cieslulowski and Henry Krah were ar
raigned before Judge Randall in the
municipal court this morning charged
with selling liquor to a minor. The
minor in question was Joseph O'Brien
the son of former detective sergeant
in Chicago. O'Brien is helpless Grip
pie seventeen years of age and he was
found in state of intoxication on the
streets of Kenosha on Friday. He told
the officers that he had secured the
liquor at the two saloons and the men
were at once arrested. Krah declared
that o 'Brien entered his saloon with a
man he supposed was his father and
that this man gave him liquor and
lunch. Both saloon men at first entered
pleas of "not guilty. but later they
changed their minds and Judge Randall
set the fine at ten dollars and costs in
each case.

RusEK ON THE BORDER.

IF Uncle Sam decides to send his
army against the Mexicans Kenosha is
going to have at least one representa-
tive among the men on the battle front
as George Busek, the well known Ke-
nosha musician, is now a member of
the Goth infantry band. The band is
at Harlingen, Texas, just over the
border with Funston S men awaiting the
signal to get busy. Letters were re-
ceived from Mr.. Busek today and he
declares that the army is waiting on
the border on account of trouble with
the bandits. Mr.. Busek sends his re-
CARDS to all his Kenosha friends Gin
Guiding the cops as he puts it. Just
at present it looks as if Busek might
be in service at any time as Carranza
and Villa bullets are both flying over
the border and an order for the army
to move may be given at any time.
The Kenosha musician has been a
member of the army band for several
years and he has also seen field serv-
ice as a private in the infantry.

DEER SEASON NEXT THURSDAY.
Kenosha Hunters to Go in Large Num-
bers Into Northern Woods for
Annual Supply of Venison.

The open season for the hunting of
deer in Wisconsin will open on next
Thursday and continue until the last
day of November. Kenosha hunters
are sleeping on their guns waiting for
the opening of the new season and the
first of next week scores of Kenosha
hunters will leave for the northern
woods for the annual supply of veni-
son. The first of the Kenosha hunters
to invade the woods promise to leave
on next Saturday. County Clerk
Jones is very busy issuing licenses for
the deer hunters and his records indi-
cate that Kenosha county will send
more men to the woods this year than
ever before. A half dozen women
have taken out hunting licenses for
the deer season. The conservation
commission reports that everything is
in readiness for the annual killing of
deer. The wardens have been sent in
to the deer country and the force is
thoroughly organized to prevent any
violations Of the laws. Deer are de-
clared to be plentiful on the northern
ranges, but the commission will see to
it that no hunter gets away with more
than one deer.

WHAT VISITOR SHOULD BE.
Mrs. Oscar Silberschmidt Tell Friendly
Visitors of A. @. What Qualities
Are Necessary.

Mrs. Oscar Silberschmidt, chairman
of the Friendly Visiting committee of
the Associated Charities, which met
yesterday afternoon in the Offices of
the Associated Charities, was scheduled
to read paper on "Qualities Desir-
able in the Friendly Visitor from the
Point of View of the One Visited"
The chairman gave her committee a
pleasant surprise in presenting a dra-
matte and forceful monologue, supposed
to have been the sentiment of one of
the unfortunate and unhappy women
whose surroundings are such that they
have come into the ken of the Asso-
ciated Charities and are receiving the
aid of friendly volunteer visitor. The
visited one is quoted as saying:
GIVE been real blue today. 1t is
almost the end of the week and my
friend hasn't come yet.
1T call her friend, and I believe
she is. It'slstrange when / think /
have known her but six months. But
she has such nice kind way and
shows such interest in me, the kiddies
and the mister, I feel she is true
friend and one can depend upon.
.Eshe never promises a thing she
doesn It do. She has gotten me to do
things I thought nothing could ever
make me do. I used to think it foolish
to leave the windows open when we
were burning up good coal but she
explained how good 1t was for me and
the children to have fresh air and now
we sleep with them open. I believe
we do have fewer colds.
She always has smiling face; she
always puts me in good humor and
makes me forget my troubles. She
takes my hand and gives it right
hearty shake and looks right into my
eyes, so kindly.
Without seeming to ask questions
she knows all about us and IS inter
ested in everything from feeding the
baby to how much John earns. She
often tells me little things about her
self, her family and friends and even
asks my advice. 1t makes me feel
good.
"When Freddy was sick last winter
she came every day. She brought him
soup and things she cooked Believe
me | had enough to do taking care Of
him, the baby and four others. She
was SO helpful and you wouldn t know
she was doing thing she went about
it SO CHEEKY
Other attributes were equally graph
cally described, and Mrs. silberschmidt
summed up the needful qualities for
friendly visitor as dependabilify,
cheerfulness, wise sympathy, tender
solicitnde, resourcefulness, commoa
sense, intuitive understanding, patient
helpfulness and confidential trust.
The committee agreed that Mrs. Sill
berschmidt Is ideal Of a friendly visitor
IS one worthy to be accepted by all
who aspire to become visitors,

COMMITTEE IN PUZZLED.
School Board Men Are Wondering If
They Can Find Place For Chill
drens' Practice Games.

The high school committee of the
board of education is scratching its
head and thinking. 1t is not at all
satisfied with any arrangement that ii
now has in view to provide a practice
play place to be used by the high school
pupils and other public school children
under the direction of George Ebert.
''The coliseum would be desirable, f"
said member of the board today, ex-
cept that they charge more than the
board feels justified in paying. The
next best place is the Germania hall
and it looks as if that might be
chosen.
He added that he regretted that the
school system does not include a place
for winter use large enough for COM
petive games to be played and for daily
practice play to be comfortably con
Quoted in.

SEEK ALLEGED FoRGER.
Sheriff Securing the County for Charles
Shepherd Alleged to Have Cashed
Many Bad Checks.


Sheriff Stahl and his deputies are
securing the county this afternoon in
an effort to get some trace of Charles
Shepherd farm hand formerly employ
ed on the Stafford farm in the town of
Bristol who is alleged to have left the
county on last Saturday night leaving
a trail of bad checks behind him. He
had been employed on farms in the
neighborhood of Bristol for the past
six months and it is declared that the
first Of the checks was discovered at
creamery at Woodwork. Shepherd
was at the Fischer hotel here a week
ago tonight but where he went after
that is problem to the officials and to
the men interested in his capture. It is
claimed that at least three checks sup
posed to have been passed by Shepherd
have been found at various places in
the county. All were drawn on Keno
sha banks and signed in the name of
Stafford. Efforts were made today to
locate Kenosha man who was alleged
to have been friend of Shepherd but
this was found to be just as impossible
as getting trace of Shepherd.

GOT SHORT Term FOR KILLING
Man Now Seeking Liberty Was Con
victed on Charges of Manslaughter
in the Second Degree in Circuit
Court in April of 1918.

One of the most bitterly contested
murder cases ever tried in the circuit
court Of Kenosha county was recalled
this morning when notices were receiv-
ed in the city announcing that Domonic
Polimeni a Kenosha man sentenced to
the state prison at Waupun for a term
of five years after conviction on sec
ond degree manslaughter charge had
asked the state board of control to par
ole him. The hearing on the petition
is to be held at Madison on Nov. Is,
and it is probable that the district at
torney will go to Madison and oppose
the release of Polimeni. Polimeni was
sentenced by Judge Belden on April
9th, 1913 and he has served a little
over two and half years.
PoIimeni was arrested on January
90, 1913 by Alderman August Kisten
of the fifth ward after he had shot and
fatally wounded his cousin Tony Poll
me1i. The shooting took place on the
street near the corner Of JENNIE street
and Rowland avenue and Polimeni fir
ed FIVE shots at his victim. Tony Poll
meni died two days later at the Keno
sha hospital from the effects of three
bullet wounds. 1t was alleged that
Tony Poimeni the victim of the shoot
ing was also armed and that he had in
vired trouble. Evidence at the trial
showed that Domonic Polimeni had
formerly boarded at the home of his
cousin and that on the Saturday night
before the shooting he had been order
ed to leave the place and find another
boarding house. On the Sunday morn
ing following he had returned to the
home of his cousin and according to
the evidence Of the case the two men
had left the house an hour before the
Shooting to talk matters over.
The next seen of them was when the
shooting took place. 1t was declared
that after Tony Polimeni had been
mortally wounded he threw the revolt
yer which he had carried into the catch
basin at the corner. Before he died he
made statement which declared that
he had given no cause for the murder
but at the trial the theory of self-de-
tense was very strongly urged to the
jury and it returned verdict finding
that Polimeni was guilty of manslaught-
er in the second degree. In sentencing
the defendant Judge Belden held that
the evidence in the case would not justi-
fly conviction on charges of murder
nor did it justify finding of justifable
homicide.
One thing that was in favor of the
defendant was the fact that he had al
ways born a good reputation. 1t is
declared that many of the friends of
Polimeni in Kenosha have signed a
petition urging the state board to re-
lease him on parole. The county Off
cials, however, hold that the crime COM
mitted by Polimeni was spectacular
one and that he should be required to
serve the short sentence imposed by the
court on account of the fact that he
took the life of fellow man. They
holl that a five year sentence is light
enough to be imposed in any case where
human life is taken.
