Seeing" MILWAUKEE AMID THE FLOWERS BACK IN FFTYF|VE"
METROPOLIS, TAKES IN SIGHTS
AND VISITS FRIENDS.

Mr.. Joseph Stelpfug and son Ber-
nard, made an unexpected trip to Mil
waukee on Thursday, Dec. %, which
was great surprise to their relatives
and friends.
They were told when they got into
Milwaukee, in order to reach his
brother, Henry's, home to get off at
Layton park station. That's as much
as he knew. After a search of few
hours they finally found the place at
dawn.
They were very tired after their
long Journey but they chad no chance
to go to bed. They were entertained
by Mr.. and Mrs. A. Becker, where
quit a number of relatives were pres
ent.
On Friday morning bright and early
Mrs. Henry Stelpfiug took them out to
show them the town.
The first place we stopped at was
the home Of Mr. John Callahan, the
Catholic Knights secretary, on little
business After that we went to sew
eral stores and bought up most of Mil
waukee's postal cards to send to the
folks at home. Then it was time 70
eat, and we had dinner at Kalt's res
taurant, which was a very German
place, suited for Milwaukee. From
there we went to the public museum
and library and spent few hours,
tut it would almost take you day to
see everything. Then there was Sis
ter Barbara. She lives on the east
side where we had lunch-some good
GIL Pabst blue ribbon.
In the evening they were entertained
b. Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Huepper, an
uncle Of Joe Stelp1ug. They served
very elaborate supper and we spent
a very pleasant evening.
City life don't agree with Potosi peo-
pie. They don't get enough sleep.
On Saturday Mr.. Henry Stelpfug
had day of leisure. He took them
to mass at Holy Ghost church and to
see Rev. Grobsthmude, who formerly
was pastor at st. Andrews church at
Potosi, and who inquired about all of
his Potosi friends, and from there we
went through the breweries, city hall,
North Western depot, Wells building,
and to the beautiful Gesu church
which we were surely not going to
miss. Then we saw two of the best
shows in town. Then to SchIitz palm
garden, where Miss Barbara SteIpf1ug
and Mrs. Henry Stelpf1ug were pres
ent. They had two very good bands.
There were lots of good things to
drink. We surely won't forget SchlitZ
palm gardens soon.
Then Miss Barbara Stelpfug sug-
gested that we go to a Chinese restau-
rant and she would treat the bunch to
some chop suey. Of course that was
something they don't get in Potgsi.
Chop suey is dish prepared by China
men and Mr.. Joe said no more chop
suey for him. If he tried it again he
would not say that, because there are
many dishes sold every day, and city
folks are crazy about it,
On Sunday bright and early we went
to church. That day was spent with
an uncle, Mr.. JOS. Huepper, where we
had very pleasant time with singing
and card playing and plenty of good
things to eat. We stayed there until
Il0dI1y uuluulSuJ, Iu0u we WENT GOWN
town to see the old year out and the
new one in. What a commotion! /
never heard of anything like that be-
fore. Bells ringing, whistles blowing
everybody having a good time. Cafes
and taurants-everything was filled.
On Monday New Years day. they
spent at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Stelpfug's brother, Henry where a
number Of relatives were present. They
had very enjoyable time. Mr.. Joseuh
Huepper and daughters gave selec-
ton of their OLD time songs, which
was very much enjoyed.
We want to thank them all for the
very nice time they have showed us
on our short visit to Milwaukee. They
left for Potosi on Tuesday morning,
jan 2 and, believe me, they were very
anxious to get home, because they
needed the sleep, especially Bernard,
who left his young wife, Margaret at
home.
