 But even had Emperor Franz Joseph shown reluctance to plunge his nation into war and had Austria refused to chas- tise Servia for the murder of the arch- duke, I doubt very much whether the Kaiser would have allowed that event to have gone unavenged.

dry briefs. Not once did he think of
his grievance against Ruth; in fact he
did not once think or Ruth herself His
thoughts were Of Mollie and the pleas

He counted his money before he left
the office. Yes, he had plenty. Ruth
had paid the first month S rent of the
apartment in advance, without con
sulting him, when she engaged it. He
would have no rent to pay so he and
Mollie could be a bit extravagent if
they wished.

much satisfied with himself and the
world in general. IT was fortunate ne

scanned the menu. Well, never mind.
He knew Mollie's tastes, he would or.

One could scarcely blame him. Mollie
seldom came to such a place to dine
and the novelty of it all, the beautiful
room, the music, the well dressed peo
pie acted like tonic to the Greenwich

sNowBLowERs WIN SUCCESS.
First Annual Ball of Snowblowers At
tracts Large Crowd at Germa5lia
Hall on Monday Evening.

Mirth and merriment reigned Mon
day evening at the first annual ball of
the Kenosha Snowblowers, held at Ger
mania Hall. Hundreds of people
crowded the large hall and were kept
until late hour by the catching music
and the conviviality of the occasion.
The music furnished by the Schmitt
and Krah orchestra won the praise of
all present and helped to make the
function distinct success. From a
financial standpoint the affair netted
enough to send the Snowblowers both
to the state and national tournaments,
during the coming year. So popular
was the occasion that it is possible that
the Snowblowers will accede to the De
mands of their friends and plan an
other dance for the near future.
