ProxineiaIisns.

In the provincial language of Rhode
Island are many humorous expressions,
one of which is the following para
phrase of familiar adage: There's
many a slip between the upper lip and
the dipper."
Deception is characterized by the
idioms, 'Skullduggery. 'Shenanigan"
and "hornswoggle." To attack an OBJ
ject forcibly is to go at It full chiseI''
or '.hell bent for election and TO be
thrifty is TO be ''forehanded" If one
is indisposed. 1t is possible that his
liver may be outer kilter" and one
who is lazy is ''dolittle-coot."
A respected citizen of a hamlet
about dozen miles from Providence
commented on the sudden death of his
helpmeet recently as follows: "She
want very rugged and she ct when
she was het, but I guess the gals will
ruggle along somehow"

MOTOR ACCIDENTS

Four young men and three girls
were returning from a dance at
Branch one night last week in an
automobile. AT the crossing of the
Green Bay branch Of The C. & N. w.
railway and the plank road the car
hurdled the ditch and came to a stop
on a wire fence bottom uppermost.
The sheriff sat Ool On a pnone call
and found the three young men but
the girls Of the party had vanished
and it was claimed that no one was
injured, which if true, almost justified
the use of the customary miraculous
escape" According to the occupants
the can was moving about Is miles
per hour when it swerved into the
ditch, The swerving part was prob
ably true.
A car driven by Ralph Kick in
which with him was Miss Amanda
Heckmesser left the road two miles
north of Two Rivers and landed on
the occupants in the ditch last Sun
day evening. Some Of their party in
a car ahead noticed the accident and
going back found both unconscious
with Krizek pinioned under the car.
They received but superficial inju-
ries
Monday morning a Ford Roadster
occupied by Mrs. Theodore Neuen-
berger, her son and Anton Czech, of
Two Rivers, burned over on the Lake
Shore road between the Lake Beach
Hotel and Two Rivers as the party
were coming to this city. The car
was badly wrecked but the occu-
pants escaped injury. The accident
happened when the car skidded up
on an attemtp to straighten it out
from swerve off the concrete.

TWO YOUNG BURGLARS

A week ago a gun valued at $35
was stolen from the show window Of
the North End drug store at Buffalo
and Eighth streets. On Monday ev-
ening Of this week the Meyer store
at Seventh and State streets was
entered and about $50 in small change
stolen.
The police surmised who had done
the gun job and questioned a boy
who was on probation from former
offenses. He implicated another boy
and the two finally told the whole
story. The gun was found under the
front steps Of the Methodist church
and the money was buried in true
Captain Kidd fashion in the yard OF
the Plumb and Nelson wholesale store
with a half brick to mark the spot
They denied all knowledge of other
petty burgIares that have recently
been committed. The youngster who
had been up before was sent to the
State Industrial School and the other
boy put on probation. The lads are
sixteen years Of age.

woe directors were elected AS the

woe attorneys caused to be served on

him from voting 322 shares of stock
which it was alleged he illegally is
sued to himself. When an attempt
was then made to postpone the meet
ing the Manitowoc people took charge
and conducted the meeting Inside
reports are that there were beautiful
verbal pyrotechnics. Attorneys A. L.
Hougen and r. l.. Kelley from here
represented local stockholders and a
battery of eminent Milwaukee coun-
sci were present for various interests.
A thorough investigation of the fl
nancial affairs Of the corporation will
be made by the Securities Division of
the Wisconsin Railroad Commission
which has set hearing for November
20. There are rumors of some high
finance in connection with the pro-
motion. Local stockholders do not
seem to be certain but that reor-
Iganization can be effected that will
permit of the project going ahead on
the original plans The promoters
put on big campaign for the sale
of stock locally and there were lot
Of subscriptions in small amounts.

PUPPET SHOW PLEASES

Tony Sarg's Marionettes in Rip
Van Wrinkle staged at the Opera
House last Thursday evening under
the auspices Of the City Federation
.of Womens Clubs was a revelation
to those whose conception of such
show was limited to Punch and Judy.
Until this show is seen it would be
bard to realize the possibilities there
are in mechanical actors for high
grade entertainment.
When the little puppet, Rip, NOV
ing with his jerky, artificial steps and
voice of yentriloquism, acted his part
more than one old timer must have
yisioned the immortal Joe jefferson
as he last saw him ignoring his terma-
giant DANES vitriolic tongue.
One would expect to find the well
known Sarg show mechanical won
der but in addition to that it ac-
tually pleases as a theatrical pro-
duction and richly deserved the ca
pacity house that greeted it.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL

The annual Red Cross roll call
opened Monday and will continue un-
til Thanksgiving. This is the period
for renewing expiring memberships
and securing new enrollments. Rev.
Francis Keicker is chairman of the
Roll Call, having been named by the
Western Headquarters of the Red
Cross at Chicago. The work will be
carried on vigorously and the hope is
entertained that Manitowoc will keep
up its fine record for support of this
necessary and worthy institution. 1t
should not be necessary to explain to
any American citizen the value of the
work performed by the Red Cross or
the great privilege it is to be permit
ted to aid in its manifold mercies.

BACK FROM LONG TRIP

Francis j. Nash made visit with
his parents here last week after hav-
ing returned from a business trip to
India. He went to the Orient to close
some contracts for the 7. A. Gilliepsie
Company Of New York and is secre
tary of one of its subsidiary compan-
les. Although one often hears and
reads of it, it is startling TO come in
contact with laborers receiving A to
6 cents per day. Mr.. Nash made a
trip into the Cashmere district. He
was forced there to rent houseboat
to get housing facilities. He spent
some time at Bombay. He brought
back a collection of curios and arti-
cles of eastern manufacture. He re-
turned to New York after few days
here.

at the city of Kiel, which straddles
the county line, last week, endorse
ment was given to the plan to make
Manitowoc county's Maple Crest Sani-

sis clinic here.
This was not the only purpose of the

WANDERING SOL DER HELD

A young man named Arthur Greg
ory, aged %, was taken into custody
by the sheriff at Two Rivers and held
at the Jail here on instructions"
from Ionia, Michigan, last week. Who
would be so impractical as to think
Of the Magma Charta, the Declaration
Of independence or the Bill of Rights
when an officer is armed with a pro
cess of the dignity of a telegram from
Ionia? But that's another story.
Gregory said that he didn't know
of anything he could be wanted for
unless it was the following alleged
circumstances. He had due him a
Michigan bonus for military service
during the war which he had asked to
be deposited at the bank at Ionia.
Being broke in Milwaukee he had
drawn a check against that fund and
deposited it for the purposes of hav-
ing the money forwarded to him if
available. He said he wired the To-
MIA bank of the facts. He said that
his residence of late had been c. &
N. w. car No. 621O6 in which the
heating equipment was a trihe made
quate for a Wisconsin November and
the cuisine at the sheriff's villa was
quite superior to the cold snacks
handed out at back doors, in fact,
that the tribulations of each recur-
ring day had entirely vanished when
he was hailed to the lookup.

ARMlSTIGE DAY

The Armistice Day program was
carried out last Friday as published
last week. The weather was not pro-
pitious for outdoor exercises. In the
morning three elm trees at the X. c.
grounds were dedicated to three
members Of the local council Of the
order who died in the service. The
feature was a short but inspiring ora
ton by Hon. l.. W. Ledvina. In the
afternoon an elm was planted and
dedicated in the court house grounds.
The only change from the published
program being John p. Klinker repre-
senting the world war veterans. The
prayer was offered by Rev. f. p.
Keicker. AT the indoor exercises at
the Capitol Theater the musical pro-
gram and the speeches Of Major A.
l.. Nash and DR.. Wilson Naylor of
I Appleton were appropriate and well
done. In the invocation Rev. w. j.
Luby read an original poem entitled
you've Done Your Best" that fitted
into the exercises appropriately. At
the tree dedication at the court house
Hon. j. S. Anderson said:
81 dedicate this tree to the mem
ory Of the Unknown Soldier this day
inferred at Arlington amid the boom
ing Of cannon and high military hon
ors
Il dedicate it to the memory of the
thousands of his comrades who sleep
in the poppy-covered fields of Flan-
ders under a white cross which bears
only the legend, unknown"
! Il dedicate it to the memory Of
the thousands of American soldiers
Of the Civil war who sleep in the bat
tie cemeteries, at Gettysburg, Vicks-
burg, and all over our own land
81 dedicate it to the memory of
the thousands Of sailors and known
and unknown soldiers who were swal-
lowed up by the mighty oceans, whose
vast and wandering graves bears no
mark to manifest their dark deep
Iresting places.
"And also, let it stand in remem-
brance Of the sacrifice of all the
Gold Star mothers and wives of the
unknown dead who have lived these
years Of hoping against hope until
hope itself was dead within them.
MAY each of them be blessed with
the thought that the dead honored by
the nation is their dead son or hus-
bend, ,-s..
Lastly, l dedicate this tree to the
remembrance of all those who placed
duty above ease; patriotism above
pleasure; who counted life as a thing
Of little moment if liberty were lost
and government of the people per-
ished; and see to it that their loyalty
to principle be held in perpetual hon
or"
Manitowoc's observance of the day
was well planned and well executed.
The city's business activities were at
a stand still all day and everyone CO.
operated to make it the success that
it was.

WHEN is INDIAN SUMMER?

Any fine days in Autumn are called
Indian Summer days by those who
do not know when that season really
comes. In reality, Indian summer is
in November. One of the best de-
sriptions Of this season is taken from
the National Intelligence" of No
yember 26, 1857, and the definition
was printed to settle dispute among
the readers of that publication. 1t
follows:
"Ihe short season Of pleasant wea-
ther, usually occurring about the mid
die Of November, is called Indian
Summer from the custom Of the In
dians to avail themselves Of this de-
lightful time for harvesting their corn
and the tradition is that they were
accustomed to say they always had a
second summer Of nine days just be-
fore the winter set in
ut is a bland and genial time, in
which the birds, insects, and plants
feel a new recreation and sport d
short lived summer ere they shrink
finally from the rigor Of the winters
blast. The sky in the meantime is
generally filled with haze Of orange
and gold, intercepting the direct rays
Of the sun, yet possessing enough
light and heat TO prevent sensations
Of gloom or chill, wnlle the nights
grow sharp and frosty, and the days
give cheerful forecast Of the social
winter evenings near at hand"
