BENEvOLENCE.

Queen of virtues and lovely star in
the crown of life, it is bright and
glorious image of BIN who is love.
How beautiful it Is In woman's heart.
A woman without bepevolence is not q
woman, she is simply deformed per-
sonalitv of womanhood. Ia every heart
there are many tendencies to selfshness
but the spirit of benevolence counter
acts them all. A hollow, cold, grace
less, ungodly thing is heart without
benevolence. Ia world like this
where we are all so needy and Deepen
dent, where our interests are all SO in
terlocked, where onr lives and hearts
overlap each other, and often grow to-
gether, we cannot live without great
deal OF benevolence. Our true earth
life is benevolent one and our highest
interests are in the path Of benevolence.
We do most for ourselves when we do
most for others. "It is more blessed to
give. than to receive Good deeds

half comes back to the door. A large
heart of charity is noble thing. The
most benevolent soul lives nearest to
God. Selfshness is the root of evil and
benevolence is its cure. In no heart is
benevolence more beautiful than in the
heart of youthful woman and in no
heart is selfishness more ugly. To do
good is noble, but to be good is nobler.
This should be the aim Of all young
men. The poor and needy should oc-
cupy large place in their hearts. The
sick and the suffering should move on
their sympathies. The sinful and
criminal should awaken their deepest
pity. The oppressed and down-trodden
should find a place in their compassion
Fill your soul with richness, then
when sorrow comes to you, her black
shadows Will be parted into golden
riffs by your gathered sunshine.

JUST ANOTHER GIRL
WHO WENT WRONG

Inc last chapter OF the story or the
gray life of girl who went wrong in
Kenosha, was written in Milwaukee
this morning when a little party of
friends carried Belva Krist out and
laid her worn out little body at rest
in a cemetery there.
Belva was what the Kenosha police
knew as a "bad girl. ? The interior
of jail cells was common sight to her
and when she died in the county hos
pital at Milwaukee on Thursday night
death came as result of an operation
made necessary from going the pace.
She was just little girl. Not yet over
twenty years old but she had seen
lot of life and the kind of life that is
not conducive to making young girls
either useful to the community or happy.
Came Here as Worker.
Belva Krist came to Kenosfla as a
working girls' She tired of her
home in Milwaukee and came down to
Kenosha. Her relatives say that she
was a good girl = when she came here
but there was no organization to look
after Belva here. She found that there
was no club for girls who had no
mothers to look after them. She found
that Kenosha had no Y. w. G.. A. and
that Kenosha as city cared little what
care was given to her. Naturally she
took to the streets for sympathy-and
she found it. It WASH t the kind of
sympathy that young girl like Belva
wanted but it filed a void in her life
and she just naturally accepted it.
Served Term in Jail.
Then Belva began to be known to
the police. They picked her up one
night and when she said "guilty'' in
the Municipal Court she was sentenced
to a term in Jail. Up at the jail they
say that Belva was not chad girl, y
She was an excellent worker and loved
a lot of things that normal girls love,
but she needed some one or some insti-
tuition to guide her. She stayed at the
jail for quite time after the sentence
had been served because she knew that
it was safe place to stay. Then she
went to Milwaukee. The bright lights
attracted her again and in couple Of
days she was back in jail ON the same
old charge. The Milwaukee Judge gave
her sixty days and her time would have
been out on last Monday but she went
the pace so fast that the little consti-
ution failed to stand for it and she was
sent to the hospital She died here on
Thursday night None Of the people IN
Kenosha who had offered -ympathyo
to Belva were in the cortege that made
up the little funeral this morning They
probably had forgotten her and were Of
fering sympathy to other little girls who
want to come to Kenosha olive.
Teaches Kenosha Lesson.
cit Is regretable,' said the proba-
ton officer this morning that Kenosha
hash t some way to offer the right kind
of sympathy for these little girls who
come here to work Maybe Belva would
just naturally have gone wrong, but
there is also the possibility that she
might have gone right. If we just had
some organization which would give
the right kind of sympathy to these
little girls lot of them would be saw
ed and there would be less funeraols like
the funeral of Belva Krist.o

Josephine Mielausky, Thir-
teen Years Old Criminally
Assaulted On Sheridan
Road Thursday Night.
SAYS MAN WAS A SOLDIER.
Child Returning From Theatrical Pro-
duction Was Gagged With Handker-
chief and Terribly Mistreated-oni-
GERS Seek Assailant In Vain.

One of the most dastardly crimes
ever reported to the officials of Keno
sha county, crime attributed to a
degenerate-is being investigated by
the police officers and the sheriff today
following the story of Josephine
Mielausky, thirteen year old girl resid-
ing on South Sheridan Road, who was
criminally assaulted just few rods
from her home just after seven clock
Thursday night The little girl is
under the care of surgeons and it is
declared that her condition is serious,
but she is expected to recover. The
man responsible for her condition is
unknown and he is being sought by
officers all over Kenosha county.
Gagged With Handkerchief.
The little girl had attended the matt
nee performance Of Uncle Tom s
Cabin and she was on her way home
when she was attacked by the unknown
man. The home Of her father, Peter
Mielausky, is just south of the Maple
Inn on Sheridan Road and the little
girl is student at the Lamb School
She was hurrying along toward home
in the gathering darkness when a man
stepped out from behind a billboard
and caught her about the waist. When
the child attempted to scream the man
pushed handkerchief into her mouth.
Then he gathered her up in his arms
and carried her over into field some
distance from the road The child said
that he threw her over the fence.
Struggles to Escape.
The child was terribly bruised about
the arms and the body showing the
struggle she had made to escape from
the clutches of the man. After the as
sault the man jumped over the fence
and ran away toward Kenosha. The
little girl sobbing as if her heart would
break, reached her home sjust after
eight O'Clock. She told her story and
Sheriff Meyer was at once notified Of
the crime and with several deputies he
made search of all the roads lead
ing from the scene of the crime but
found no one. The little girl could not
give any adequate description of the
man who assaulted her. She declared
that all she could remember was that
he wore soldiers overcoat and that
it was stained by blood.
The man said nothing to the child
after he had caught hold of her
and she declared that she was help
less to escape from him.
Orders Arrest of Morons
The sheriff directed his deputies to
pick up every suspicious character to
be found about the county and it is
thought possible that a round up Of
these people may bring the guilty man.
At her bed at home today the little girl
said that she believed that she could
identify the man if she saw him again.

educational, charitable and penal insti-
tions, highways and other activities.
One year ago the grand total certified
for these purposes was $6,437, 011.36.
This increase of nearly. 100000 is
partly accounted for by the increase in
the state assessment of $222,004,79
which automatically increases the mill
taxes in the state for the support of the
university, normal school sand common
schools s. s.4a

sent out today does not include the sol
der bonus tax approved by the people

for general state purposes a levy Of
