Sings Nobody Knows How

Results Here.
"OH, IT WAS 50 EASY

Nobody knows how dry I am"
Three Chicago newspaper men sang
the song meaningly in Kenosha one
evening the latter part of the week.
They were sitting in a restaurant af-
ter an evenings chase after an elusive
story. They looked extra dry" as
they sighed mournfully because they
knew of no oasis in Kenosha.
The next morning they met another
newspaper man. The latter detected
an unmistakable Whit of the good old
''rock and rye" He got inquisitive.
''It Was Just AS Easy"
"Well, we will hand this much to
Kenosha," said the Chicago newspaper
man, who was complaining because the
story which he was sent down to "cov-
er" was not so easy to get as he had
anticipated. "We sure found some
good liquor here and we found it to be
cheap $50 a pint better than the
stuff that is bringing $40 quart in
the Windy City,
Glow did we do it?' he added
"Well, I'll tell you if you don't get
too inauisitiye about details. We
lounged into a Kenosha restaurant last
night and after eating our fill express
ed in rather sonoroLs tones our desire
for something to wet our Whistles
Some stranger heard our plea and in
quired as to just how dry we were

could help us drown our sorrows"
They Met Him Later.
"We met him little later Just
around the corner. He took us to his
ofice-he was a doctor-and after an
examination of our ailments produced
a prescription. We took it to a drug
store and had it filed"
"WeH, who was the doctor and who
was the druggist?" chirped in the lis
tener.
That's for us to know and you ia
find out" replied the Chicagoan, "but
as proof of our story just take a Whit
of my breath"
The argument was ended and the
Kenosha listener went his way wonder
ing, ever wondering.

EIGHTY YEARSOLD
ON 10Th BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Robert C. Berry OBJ
serves Unique Birth
day Anniversary,
PIONEER OF WISCONSIN

Mrs. Robert G, Berry, celebrated the
twentieth anniversary of her birth on
Sunday when members of the Berry
family from Kenosha and from other
states gathered at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Maude Martin, 3O4
Pleasant street, to observe the unique
event. Mrs. Berry was probably the
only leap year child in Kenosha county
to celebrate such notable event. AL
though it was her twentieth anniver-
sary of her birth, she unblushingly
admitted that she had reached the
acme of four score and she was one Of
the merriest members of the gathering
of children and grandchildren. There
were two wonderful birthday cakes
on the table at the dinner served
at noon. One of them had twenty
candles and the other had eighty
blazing wax tapers.
Mrs. Berry was a native of England
but she has the record of being one of
the oldest residents of Wisconsin.
When she was fourteen years of age
she came to Wisconsin and settled at
Port Washington. Later she removed
to South Dakota where she resided for
many years but for the past ten
years she had made her home in
Kenosha county
The Twentieth Anniversary of the
birth of Mrs. Berry was made most
interesting event. Her FIVE daughters
were present and one son-in-law who
had been the husband of a deceased
daughter. Then there were two grand
children, and three great-grand-
children. The family reunion dinner
was served at noon and the afternoon
was spent in pleasant social enter
tainment. Mrs. Berry received teie-
grams Of congratulations from her five
sons, all of whom are living at the
old home in South Dakota. Mrs. Berry
is in excellent health.
1t is believed that her BIRTHDAY"
was the most notable of the leap year
celebrations in Kenosha.

Speak Here.
PLAN OPEN RECEPTION

Major-General Leonard Wood, Re-
publican candidate for the presidency
and pretty close to the lead in the
race for the nomination, is to be in
kenosha on Tuesday evening, March
eth. This is the word he has sent to
the members of the Mems Club of the
First Congregational Church, whose
guest he will be during his stay in
kenosha. Of course, the general in
selecting the date, has stated that it
must be subject to military demands
upon his time but he has intimated
that he feels pretty certain that no
call to army service will keep him
from keeping the appointment. The
members of the club are planning to

winter in Kenosha.
A meeting of the club members and
prominent citizens was held at the
Elks Club on Saturday afternoon and

bly, at the Elks Club as well as his
speaking meeting at the First Conere-
gational Church. The visit Is to be IF
political as well as social interest to
the people Of Kenosha General Wood
is great faYorite with many of the
soldiers and he has expressed the hone
that when he comes to Kenosha he
may be able to meet all the people who
feel that they would like to greet him.
The general is not only military
leader Of distinction but he has made
good as an orator and his message to
the people is one of a patriotic inter
est. He has been in close touch with
great events in the history OF the ma
ton and he has some wonderfully in
teresting stories Of his life as a sol
der.

PARENTS DEATH
Children Of Late Frank
Knickerbocker Sue
Railway Co.
KILLED ARMISTICE DAY

As an echo of the celebration of
Armistice Day in Racine, which was
attended by a sensational railway ac-
cident in which Frank Knickerbocker
and his wife, Cora Knickerbocker Of
Kenosha, were crushed to death under
a street car, Frank King, administrator
OF the estate of the late Frank Knick-
erbocker, has filed suit against the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
Company demanding damages in the
sum of $4,000. The complaint was
filed in the Circuit Court here this
morning and it is the most interesting
case on the calendar for the March
term issued by Clerk DeDiemar this
morning. A demand of $4,000 is
made for damages for the death of
Knickerbocker, $4,000 for the death Of
his wife, and $1,000 for other losses
to the two children, Mrs. Florence King
and Glynn Knickerbocker.
Husband and Wife Crushed.
The accident took place on Noven-
Der 18th. MIR. and Mrs .Knickerbocker
Of this city were among the people
thronging the streets for the celebra-
ton when a street car came along.
Both were caught by the car. Mrs.
Knickerbocker was instantly killed and
her husband died from his injuries
later in the day. The complaint de-
clares that the deaths resulted from
the negligence Of the officials of the
company. Both Knickerbocker and
his wife were widely known to Keno
sha people.
Gascoigne Brings Suit.
Thomas Gascoigne, who had his
wagon caught by street car on Mar
ket street on July 2, 1918, and who
himself met serious injuries in the
accident, has sued the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric Company for damages to
the amount of $1,000. He claims per-
manent injury as a result Of the
accident.
These two claims for damages with
the old suit of Anton Bredek against
George Wilson, are the most interest
ing cases on the March term calendar.
cases noticed for trial but the term
does not promise any great excitement.
But two criminal cases appear on
the calendar. One is the old charge
of murder against Carfnine Suriari,
and the other is the State against Sam
Poll. 1t is not expected that either of
them will be tried.

Lenr0ot's Hat
Not In Ring
Junior Wisconsin Senator Is Not Can
didate for the Presidency.

Washington, d. ~C.-Senator Lenroot
of Wisconsin positively is not can
didate for the Republican nomination
for president. The junior Wisconsin
senator made this perfectly clear to
a host of friends who, a few nights
ago, met together around the banquet
table and nominated him, regard
less.
The Badger solon declined to attend
the dinner, and made it clear that he
was indignant over the proposed ae-
tion of his friends in and out of con-
gress. Most of those in attendance
were members of the senate and the
house.
Progressive But Not Radical.
Senator Lenroot is generally re-
garded as clean, strong, progressive
man, but not radical. He was one of
the active leaders in the fight in the
house in 1910, as result of which
"Unele Joe" Cannon's standpat RepuB-
lican machine was smashed and the
rules of the house liberalized.
On that historic occasion Senator
Lenroot fought machine and system,
not "Uncle Joe" personally He left
no room for doubt in the mind Of any
man that he we fighting and fighting
hard, but his activities were free from
bitterness or bias He was thoroughly
convinced the system called Cannon
ism" was inimical to the best interests
of the country. Hence his fight against
it, along with other house progressives
He never left the Republican party, as
did many other progressives, holding
that it was up TO the Republicans with
vision to clean their own house and
make it fit to live in.
Understands Treaty of Peace.
In the senate Mr. Lenroot has at all
times been a stauneh progressive, but
never an extremist He has a remark
ably clear grasp on the vitality import
ant matters which come before the
senate from y to day. No man in
the senate better understands the irs
and outs of the Versailles treaty and
the battle which is ranging around it.
While termed mild reservation

that such reservations as are accepted
