Two years ago mamma, papa, sister

of fun on the train. We looked at
the scenery and read books.
We slept on the train one night. We
went up to Pixies Peak and the Gar
den of the Gods. Going up to Pixies
Peak, we got off of the train and
picked some flowers. At one place
there was a rock called the Lizard
rock. 1t was shaped like lizard.
We brought home some forget-me-
nots and other kinds of flowers. At
night they put red light on top of
Pixies Peak and from our hotel we
could see that red light. have an
aunt living near Colorado and she
comes down to see us.

AIaaA ID II S.la


One evening | went to one of our
neighbors. She showed me a little
puppy that was about six inches tall
and was almost as broad as it was
long. Some cruel person had put it
out by their gate and it had found its
way TO the house, The lady told me
| might have him il / wanted him, so
| took him home, and we named him
Mutt. Ets .stt ss
Mutt was so smart that in day
or two he would run out and bark at
the pigs. He grew to be great big
dog His fur is black. He has white
feet, a white nose and white spot
on the back of his neck.
Two years later we left Nebraska
and moved on a homestead in Daw-
son county, Montana. Mutt was such
pet that we could not part with
him, so we brought him along.
Last summer he found two rattle
snakes near the house, He barked
and barked till someone came and
killed them.
My three brothers and | love him
very much. He never leaves us when
we are at play We expect to keep
him all his life. This is a true story.

FORMERLY IN KENOSHA.
Major Mcbride, Who Fell Before the
Firing Squad on Friday, Once
Lectured in Kenosha.

Many of the Irishmen of Kenosha
in whose veins runs the red blood of
the Ould Sod and the troubles of Ire
land, took an especial interest in the
dispatches of Saturday evening which
told of the shooting of Major John
Mcbride for the part which he had in
the recent revolution in Ireland.
Major Mcbride once spent day in
Kenosha and lectured at the Rhode
Opera House. He was accompanied
to Kenosha by his bride, the statuesque
blonde beauty, Maude Come, who was
known as the Irish Joan of Arc. At
that time the major and his wife were
on their honeymoon following his win
ming high honors in the Boer war.
They were separated shortly after the
American trip. Major Mcbride when
in Kenosha made strong plea for
"Free Ireland' Both he and his
wife had several close personal friends
in Kenosha and they had sent many
letters to the city following their
visit here.

ADDITIONS TO PRIZES.
Clean Up Committee Adds Six Prizes
for Posters to Original
Number.

Instead of three fifty cent prizes as
was originally intended, the cleanup
prize committee enlarges it's offer to
nine, so that one prize will go to each
grade of the schools, including the
kindergarten.
The change was made after consul
tation with the judges who feel that
it would be an impossibility to make
a fair decision as to the merits of the
different children contesting, were the
kindergartens pitted against the first
and second graders as was originally
intended, and the other grades class
ed together.
The poster exhibit has begun today
and the judges will not make their
awards until next Monday, thus Civ
ing plenty of time for careful consid-
Grafton of all the entries. The Judges
were chosen because of their artistic
ability and their fairness and the two
points upon which their awards will be
made are the originality of design and
the artistic handling of the subject.

sCoLARI rs HELD FOR TRIAL.
Vito Scolari Charged With Assaulting
Mary Ruffalo Held in Bondsaof
$500 Saturday Afternoon.

Vito Scolari, charged with making a
criminal assault on Mary Buffalo,
thirteen year old daughter of James
Ruffalo, 154 Brockett street, must ans
wer these charges in the circuit court,
as following preliminary hearing
completed early Saturday afternoon,
Judge Randall held that the evidence
was sufficient to bind him over for
trial. His bail, which had been $4,000
previous to the preliminary hearing,
was increased to $1,000 and he return
ed to Jail being unable to furnish ball.
The child was the main witness at the
hearing and her story was told in a
manner which convinced the court that
there was reason to hold the defendant
for trial in the higher court. Scolari
sought to show that there was con-
spiracy to get him out of town and
into prison, but the girl declared that
while she and other people had feared
Scolari that she knew of no concerted
action along these lines. It is posi-
BILE that the trial of Scolari will be
arranged for the present term of the
circuit court.

ASKS MAYOR TO CLEANUP.
Poetess Sets Stunt for Him in This Line
and Directs His Gaze Toward
a Neglected Park

Poetess Sets Stunt for Him in This Line
and Directs His Gaze Toward
a Neglected Park.
Perhaps it's the influence of the
Spoon River poets which is being felt
in Kenosha. Something has diverted
the thoughts Of the local versifers from
such time hallowed subjects as ssBee-
yeautiful Snow and "Vernal Sun
shine, = Nesting Birds and "Spring
Flowers and started their minds in
more utilitarian and commonplace
trends. We are thankful they have, so
far, eschewed the cemetery phase of
the Imagists and stuck to cleaning.
For the third time in a week, a
cleanup poem reaches the News
Office. This time the generous author
ess with violetlike modesty creeps be-
hind the shelter of that prolific author,
Anon She would even allow the
editor to claim the honor of having
written it, if he insisted. But far be
it from any News editor to steal thun-
der from a perfectly nice young Keno
sha matron, so the poem will go in as
she first suggested, anonymously.
Once a city by the lake,
Asked it's citizens to take
All the second week in May,
For its annual /" cleanup" day.
Now this city owns yard,
Situate on a boulevard
That most untidy place,
Nothing short of Q disgrace.
There the dirt is all in humps,
And the beauty of the stumps
Is visible only after dark,
In this poor neglected park.
Please good mayor, take a look
And write down in your memo book,
Some things that must be done
Ere another year has run.
Many things we could suggest,
A lagoon and all the rest,
Swans and seals anG fountains, too,
Or just flowers and shrubs would do.
Only do be sure to take
Sufficient interest to make
Just beauty spot to be
Where is now naught but debris.
If this little park could speak,
And could tell it's mind this week.
Don t you think that it would say:
Clean me up this month of Mayo
