George White, Farm Hand Who Aided

George White, farm hand working
on the Newell farm in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, has decided that it
does not always pay to be the Good
Samaritan" Monday afternoon two
men driving an automobile had trouble
near the Newell farm on the Milwaukee
Road. White just naturally wanting to
be helpful, went to their assistance
and for an hour he worked away with
the tire. His only pay was an occa-
sional drag from bottle which the
men produced from the automobile. He
got enough of the liquor to make his
brain muddled and il is alleged that
the two men rolled him off into the
ditch and drove away. When White
began to take an inventory after the

five dollars was missing. Police officers

"JUST A LITTLE
BIT OF HEAVEN

and In another an old melodeon 50 low
that even the least of the children can
reach the keys and pick out the fam
liar melodies of HIittle Brown Jug
or Mother What Pain I We Got. "
Beyond the revelry of the living
room and much more important IS the
dining hall, with its lines of white
covered tables and pictures of peaches,
apples, bananas, and everything the
Riddles love. Here on chairs that
just fit" the hungry youngsters are
made happy and healthy with whole
some and appetizing food and sent out
to their childish games with vim and
enthusiasm known only to boys and
girls who have eaten and eaten to their
hearts content.
But there are things more important
than bodies. These unfortunate little
waits who have lived most of their
lives in squalor and wretehedness have
souls like other folks and these are not
neglected by the sweet-voiced sisters
at the home. Twice each day the chill
dren are taken to the sombre little
chapel with its eEucifx and lilies.
There beneath the tutelage Of black
robed teachers they are taught the
mysteries of the prayer-book and the
catechism and the chants of the Angli-
can service. On Sunday, tricked out
in their white lawn aprons and Nor
mandy caps, they sit in the oaken pews
and hear the story of the crucifxion
and resurrection from the lips of
Father Griffin or vaguely sense divinity
in the flowers that fringe the lanes or
the waves that wash the shores of blue
Lake Michigan. Through such expert
ences their cramped souls feel the first
STRINGS of spiritual exaltation and
thrill with the first suggestions of i'm
mortality.
Thus in an atmosphere Of recreation
and religion the children of Chicago are
spending a memorable vacation in Ke-
nosha. Hunting lucky stones along the
lake, pulling weeds in beet or lettuce
beds, romping on lawns shaded with
catalpas and naples, or playing school
or church in the CHEEKY rooms of nur-
sery or dormitory, they are living a
life brilliant with the dreams of child
hood and redolent of happiness and
fragrance. Under the benefcent inhu-
ence of the kindly sisters they are for
getting care in a bissful holiday of
merriment whose only shadows Come
from lilac or syringa bushes. No won
der they still believe in saints and
fairies. They have known the. sisters
and seen the sunlight. They have
found st. Mary's a fragment of old

On the rim of Lake Michigan hun
dred and thirty Chicago Riddles are
living eight weeks of crowded life.
Invigorated by a lake breeze untainted
by coal smoke or factory odours, they
are studying nature and God first hand
at St. Mary 5 Home for Children. the
picturesque orphanage at the end of
Durkee avenue. There the blue above
and the green below is a paradise to
them and the day, once a wearisome
succession of endless hours las become
all too short for the heaven that it
holds. Somewhere beyond the waves
that wash the white shore is the murky
city they have left behind them but the
haze of the sunlight and the murmur of
wind among the trees has blotted from
their minds all memory of grimy streets
or shrieking trolley cars and jitneys.
Just over the way sophisticated eiti-
zens in knickers and panamas are
swatting the little pill'' over stra-
logically built bunkers and extensively
kept greens. They imagine that they
are experiencing the "n' 'th power of
happiness but they have only to cross
the lane to be disillusioned. There on
the foot-worn lawns of the children s
home they will find joy in its natural
state. There among the potato bugs of
the garden or the blooms of the syringa
bush they will hear little gurgles of
delight more ingenious and real than
the loud 'Eguffaws that greet the
awkward golfer or the ELUSIVE compli-
ments rendered the flucky mutt who
makes the hole in two. Reimpressed
with tie fact that the good old kid
days" were "the days of real sport !"
they will go back to their game with
faces alternately bright and sad as
changing memories bring back to them
the light and shade of childhood.
But it ism It all poetry out there. A
home for one hundred and thirty chill
dren has its practical as well as its
sentimental aspects. Exercises in the
fresh air develops appetites which sun
light will not satisfy and tires little
bodies that crave rest and relaxation.
The Riddles" must eat and sleep and
admirable facilities have been provided
for each of these necessities.
In dormitories that overlook the lake
and catch its breeze are rows of white
beds with immaculate coverlids and
pale blue wooden comforts rolled into
neat bundles and ready for immediate
use in case the weather man should
change his disposition. Below them is a
living room. On the walls are quaint
pictures inspiring patriotism and religi-
on and on the tables checker boards and
books filed with wholesome stories of

ENTHUSIASM AT soMERs.
DR.. Harbert and Miss Keating Arouse
Sentiment for Red Gross Work in
Inspiring Meeting Monday Night.

That women can talk and talk eff
fectively was never more completely
demonstrated than at the Red Cross
sentiment meeting held at Somers on
Monday evening. Marty two hundred
people we're present for the presenta-
ton of this patriotic cause and the
eloquence of the addresses more than
justified the large attendance. Rev. G..
II. Phipps of Somers presided at the
meeting. With rare wisdom he struck
patriotic chord at the very outset by
his suggestion that the meeting be
opened with the singing of "The Star
Spangled Banner" The enthusiasm
thus aroused was admirably sustained
by the fervor of the addresses which
followed.
Miss Heating, the first of the speak
ers introduced, told the story of her ex-
periences in Europe at the outbreak of
tn world war. With splendid feeling
and unusual elocutionary powers she de-
scribed the dramatic scenes which ac-
companied the opening of the mighty
conflict in which America is now en-
gagged. Her first hand knowledge Of
the circumstances of which she spoke
gave to her speech a vividness and
sincerity that held her audience spell
bound and created a perfect atmosphere
for DR.. Harbert's stirring appeal for
service.
In the course of her remarks Miss
Heating mentioned the unpreparedness
she had noted in England in contrast
with the militarism everywhere appar-
ent in Prussia. DR.. Harbert, continu-
ing along this line urged the people of
the United States and more especially
of Somers to profit by the mistakes Of
Great Britain. She pictured graphical
ly the serious losses suffered by the
island empire as result of its lack of
preparation and explained that the Red
Cross movement was an attempt to pre-
vent such sacrifice of Americans who
had volunteered their services in the
war for liberty and truth. In conclu-
sion she set forth the general organ;-
alton of this association and suggested
the formation of a provisional auxili-
airy at Somers. The conviction carried
by her remarks is evidenced by the fact
that such temporary society as she
had proposed was then and there es-
tablished and had enrolled more than
twenty members before the meeting
was dismissed. This concrete express
sion of appreciation was highly graft
flying to both Miss Heating and Or.
Harbert and more than compensated
them for the effort expended on their
inspiring and impressive speeches.

A number of Kenosha people went
to the little village of Rosecrans Ill,
this morning to attend the funeral Of
Milton Bennett, eighteen years old,

got into the deep water. 1t is sup
posed that they were caught with
cramps in the cold water and lost their
lives in attempting to save each other.
The bodies were recovered late Sunday
afternoon. The Boys were widely
known throughout the Russell neigh
borhood and the tragedy has caused
great sorrow in the neighborhood.
Both of them had relatives in Kenosha.

to Mrs. John DuPons of Chicago street,
and the Bennett boy to Mr.. and Mrs.
Nicholas Thomey and Mr., and Mrs.
George White. Members of the three

the funeral this afternoon.

SUMMER BURGLARY.
Burglars Climb Fire Escape into the
Gottlieb Store and steal Bathing
Suits and Women's Dresses.


Report has been made to the police
that summer season burglars are at
work in Kenosha and some time early
Sunday morning, it is thought, the sec
ond story workers climbed the fire
escape leading from the Gottlieb store
at the corner of Main and Park streets.
The fact that they had worked in the
store was discovered many hours after
they had made their escape. The burg
lars had carefully inspected stock Of
bathing suits and had. made rich
haul of this stuff. They had also taken
a number Of pieces of woman s wearing
apparel The police will saunter over
to the bathing beach in an effort to
get some trace of the thieves. They
have pretty good description of the
bathing suits taken and they declare
that they are sufficiently distinctive il
makeup and color to make it easy
to spot the burglars i they appear on
the Kenosha beach.

Dissipation Decried

Wine More Than Enemy's Guns.
A unique way of doing his bit /"
occupied the time at the drill of the
Infantry Company on Monday night
when d. George F. Adams addressed
the recruits on the dangers of infec-
ton and disease prevalent in every
army camp. The speaker explained
that he was too old to enlist, even if
he could pass the physical examination
and that he welcomed this method of
helping those who should go in his
place, with the hopes that the advice
which ne would give would be fol
lowed by at least fifty per cent of his
hearers. The evils of dissipation were
shown to kill many more in every war
than did the shot and shell of the enc
my and from purely selfish and bust
ness standpoint the men were urged to
avoid all Of the vices which are ordi-
narlly assigned to the typical soldier
That these were not as prevalent in
modern armies, where the soldiers have
realized that death is lurking in the
ubiquitous resorts, was taken as evi-
dence that American soldiers may see
| the handwriting on the wall and avoid
| the pitfalls into which the Allied and
Teuton armies have partially fallen
The intense interest shown by the foot
soldiers evidenced that the address had
been successful in preaching a doctrine
of health which may save the lives Of
many of our boys at the front.

worrying over that suit because he

And the state of Mind has a Ruler, who
Has ne 'er been known to do wrong.
