NO ROOM TO COMPLAIN"
Raw-Boned Westerner, Who Can Yell
Like Comanche Indian, Believes Ke-
nosha Good Place to Work Expects
to Return to Moody Institute.

A rawboned Westerner with sWag-
ger like Bill Hart, an ever ready smile
and big broad handshake, is one Of
the newcomers in the ranks of the
employees Of the American Brass com
pany.
He is r. r. WINNER, the cowboy
preacher, who strolled into Kenosha the
latter part of last week and who lost
no time in trying to gain employment.
Down on the street corner, they say the
western sky pilot can yell like a Co
manche Indian and that he will do it
there if occasion demands it, but out
among the employees Of the Elizabeth
street brass plant few have learned
that he is one Of the workers in the
foundry.
The ex-cowboy, who is taking a
money making vacation from the
Moody Institute, thinks Kenosha is
about the best place from working
man 5 standpoint that he has ever
known. He has been q miner in the
smelteries Of Utah, has rode the plains
as a cowboy for ten years and yet he
is willing to admit that Kenosha has
afforded him more profitable employ
ment.
The coW-punching parson is exuber-
ant over Kenosha. He insists that the
people Of this city may not know its
advantages and asks the privilege Of
relating what he thinks Of them. 81
have too much to be thankful for not
to let this community know about it, Il
he declared in his latest effusion. g
am now employed by the American
Brass company. I came to them for en-
ployment-they' employed me-
! II am in quarters such as never
/ experienced before for labor quarters !
We have hotel Accommodations our
board far excels what could get in
the city for the same price"
"How's This for Food
I'll m. no stickler for fancy food, y
he continued, Hbut do like real eat
| ing and that is what we are getting
out here. Regardless Of price our
meals are wholesome and substantial.
/ am just through eating a supper of
veal stew, potatoes, bread, butter, cof-
fee with cream, apple sauce-I don It
remember any more. =
II say that we are amply fed and
that our quarters are better than any
| have been able to secure since I be-
came laboring man IL years age.
/ IN from Wyoming worked in
smelteries in Utah, coat mines in Wy
oming, railroad tie camps and was a
cowboy for ten years and so I believe
have reason to think that / am a
Judge of these things.
Going Back to School.
81 came from Wyoming to Chicago
to attend the Moody Bible Institute,
and finding myself short Of funds af-
ter thirty days, started out to raise
some more money to take myself
through the Bible training school. I
am happily pleased to find myself so
we'll fed and quartered, making over
$50 in the clear each month Y
eth soon be able to return to Chi
cage to complete my course at Moody
but I'll not forget Kenosha Z
The Wyoming sky-pilot admits that
he is here to work but insists that it
is still a sideline and that he hopes
to be able to do little rough and
ready preaching while he is in the city.
You may see me in my Sunday go-to-
meeting clothes on the corner nearly
any evening, = he is said to have told
some of his fellow employees at the
local factory.
