PROFESSOR ALDENHOME.
Ile . at in a creaky chair hrfore an aged
1lcsk. Gray papers. yellow papers, fade<l
paprrs and tattered papers were scattered over it; the pile began in the waste
hasket and rontinuccl until it rea<'hccl the
top or the desk. AhoYe the clcsk on the
helf was a staek of books, some fingered
until their kaYCs threatened to fall ont,
alHl some who hacl never been opened.
The spiders hacl long sinre taken advantage of the pile, and had made a thriving eity among the heap. The cln t too,
thought things "·ou1cl be better if it were
tlwre and hy no means was it la<·king in
gP1H·rosity of dceoration. The room had
PIH' wiJl(low whosr man)· fra 11ws l1a< l one<'
probably been rich with new panes, but
now it was unconcerned at the many stuffings, and calmly an cl indolently stared
out into nowhere. N car the winclow stood
a table groaning unclrr a weight of books
whose titles were either Geometry, Trig-ourmetry, Astronomy Cal1·nlt1s, or Geology. Further towarcl the door were seven
or eight rhairs tancling in the mo t confu ·eel ordrr possihk ( 'ohwebs clangl<'d
from the sides and the top were newly
dec•oratPd with dust. Owr the door was
a transom grey as slate; it lookecl at you
when you entered and sai<l:
''\Yell, what do you want here?"
'l'hc professor was a . mall man. His
<'lothes were sloppy, and his shoes ready
to lmrst. hnt not with w·rar. for hr srlflom
wallml. IIis thick bcarcl hristled out like
radiating rays and set off a thick round
no:r, deeply indented hy the bridge of his
iron-rimmccl pectal'lcs. His eyes were
gray and had the hahit of stupidly fixing
thrrns0lws on any conwnirnt ohject. The
profr. sor "·as yery old. His per on was in
1wrfp1·t kPrping with the room.
Al1lrnhomr sat staring at a blot of ink
au<l lu·l1l a pair of oprn compas. r. in his
ha11Cl. IT<' thought: "If that blot of ink
"·r1·(• on the other siclc or in anothrr posit ion it would not he whrrr it i.. " Uc
thought this and hrliPnll it arnl "·as t·o11tc11tl'cl to keep on thinking and believeing

it. It made no difference to him whether
the blot would stay or go; if it went, well
ilH're were plenty of ollH·r things to be
stared at.
\Yhile he ·was cl eply 111C>1·alizi11~ on inll

the rreaking hall and stopp<'cl abruptly

THE SPY

T HE ADVENTURES OF A FIREFLY.
(For the Juniors only.

Dunder and Blitzen how it rained!
Doubly enough to make up for the la, t
three dry m•ek ·. And the poor little
firetfr out in the rain! Poor little firetly ! ·But the poor little firefly didn't
want to be pitit><l, clidn 't even call for
sympathy. Ile flew swiftly <lown the cartraek 011 ..•. er .... a .. A hland Ave. Ye.,
Ashland A Ye !
Did you eYPr notice what a wonderful
·treet ~\. hland ~\Ye. is-\Yhen it rains?
The little firefly clid, other fireflies had
told him the .'l'(·ret. Ile flew straight to
Eliazbeth-then-stopped-secret-at a
"Bro-wn llonsr." Ile knew just which
"·inrlow to go to. and a few minutes later
he wa ettled quite comfortably on the
wintlow·sill watching the beautiful scene
within. Ah! the little firefly knew where
to finrl beautiful scenes. You will soon
hrlicve it.
'itting in a ma ive morri chair, rea<ling a little loYe . tory, wa a charming
mairlen. 'he wa attired in a lovely blue
kimona and her golden hair hung in two
braids over her shoulders.
Iler long
hlaek e~·elashes fringed large brownishgreyi. h-hlue <'Yt'S; perhaps not quite as
blue as the eyes . he was thinking of.
Did I say she wa rearling 1 Probably
she was to the human eye, but the firefly
knew better. 'l'en minute pa. ed and he
did not turn a page. What <lid it mean?
The firefly roulcl not uncler tand, but
then-what clo ffreflies know about love 1
It wa. gettiug monotonous, for twenty
minute· !ind pa ·. <'<1 and no action was
shown ............... .
The firefly came out of its re ting place.
It rained hardecl than ever but he flew
on, wondering how long it would be be·

They alone will understand.)

fore he could reach the glaring lights of
::\Iain treet. But alas, he had covered
hut a block, when he was sucldenly attracted by the sounrl of a voice, a bee-oott•e-ful n>ice coming from the little gr(•y
house on the corner of AshlalHl an<l Pomero~·. 'l'he '"indo"· shade "·l'r<' pulled
clown, hut fircfli 'S can ee ever .-o much
in the tiny space between the shade and
the window.
Reclining gracefully on a low divan,
wa a beautiful girl. Her shapely head
was tilted back and her bright blue eyes
were focused on the ceiling as she clreamecl of W ellesly-Wellesly-the dream
that woulcl never en<l until it wa realized
-Wellesly!
Sitting at the piano, quite unconscious
of her chum's thoughts, or the picture she
made, was another charming maiden. Her
long tapering fingers trippei! prettily oYer the keys and her beautiful voice poured out into the night. Oh. she would be
a prima donna. \\as she thinking of
that, or of her little home at 474 Pomeroy? I wonder! But the little firefly did
not won<ler. Ile only heard the hells
chime eight and hurriccl away. , •othing
on earth would attract him now for he
mu t reach l\lain Street. 1\Irrrijy he flew
throu~h the park, gloryi11g in };is ability
to en<lure the rain.
Ah! at last, ::\Iain treet ! Yes it must
be ::\Iain Street, for was that
not
Earn t 's with it's same bunch of boys
gathere<l around the punel1 board?

it is a sehool paper anrl cannot be made

give it their hearty support an<l cooperation. Cartoons arc an e ·sential part of
any school paper and ad<l greatly to its

THE OLD PLOT.
With a Little Variation.

It was four o 'dock in the afternoon of
a December day. The last rays of the

the " ·imlows on the east side of the Alley
with a IH'antiful oft, pink glow. Children of l'\·ery age, eYery nationality, and

her way home from church, came upon
Johnnie on the bank of the creek, fishing.
"0, you bad boy!" she exclaimed,
"don't you know it is wicked to stay
awav from Sunday School on Sunday and
catch fish?''
"Aw", said Johnnie, who had been
fi hing all morning without a bite,
•'who's catching any fisb?"
A little later the preacher came along
and found Johnnie still fi hing.
''~Iv son". he exclaimed, I am surprised
to find you fishing here"
''Why'•' said Johnnie, ''do you know
anv place where they're biting better?"
By and by Johnnie, reaching out to
untangle hi line, fell into the water. A
man who helped him out a ked him:
"How did you come to fall in?"
"I didn't come to fall in," said Johnnie
indignaatlv. ''I came to fish.''
And as Johnnie was on his way home
that evening he met another boy, who
greeted him with:
''Hello, there! Have vou been fishing-?
Did vou catch anrthinl! ?"
"I haven't yet", aid Johnnie truthfully, "but I expect to when I get home.',
Eri.: "Do vou think Miss Steig marks
on !{Ond looks?''
Buzz: "Impossible!!! Why, I only got
70 ! ! ! "

CHRISTMAS AT BRENTON.
Chri ·tnia. C'ome and the poor mu t be
provided for.
'o Brenton hacl tlecide<l
and long go sipped on the ame - ye
even since July. The official go ·sipper
hacl treated the matter thoroughly. They
ha<l talked the methoil of providing for
the poor into hy terics anil the poor mi sion, utterly distraeted, had tleil to the
wooils and \\·a trembling even at it
'·absent treatment.'' The Yenerable olil
women had deliberated on the affair a
long, long time; they had talked it back\varcl and forwaril anil had even be"'un
iu the middle and talke<l to each end. It
wa. finally cleeided to give a "benefit
play'' in the old town hall. This \\'a preferred over the other suggestion which
was to cucl a <·ommission to Congress to
demand fees for the rPlief of the poor.
Jt may he saicl here that there were no
1wople in absolute need in Brenton but
tlw people thought they must clo their duties anvwaY. be. icles thev \\'ould be sure
to find~ om~ poor ·ome\d~rrP, even if they
had to travel to Boston. The mo t lrarnrd man in Brenton was the clerk of the
drng :tore who sugg<> tecl that they
.·houlcl play one of -, well- he thou .... ht
it was Demothe ecles' or avanrola' . he
wasn't quite sure ·which it "·a that \\Tote
it; he had an inkling that the two names
signified the ame mall but he wouliln 't
vcmeh for it. The village assembly spent
fully two hours of deep thought anil deliberation on the choice of the e play before it occurred to anyone that they
wonlil like to know what they were
about. ·when the clerk was questioned he
scratcheil hi head, thought several minutes and finally admitteil that he had forgotten himself.
o after all the e puzzling di C'omfitures, after all this ileep consideration, after all this eloquent debate,
after all thi bringing forth of unfathomable philo ophy, what Cl.id a young villager sugge t 1 It was a wonderful sug"'e tion, so shockingly new, o wise, so rousin"', so state manlike that every a emblyman nearlv fell backwaril out of his
chair; no oi1e could utter a word; all sat

. taring open-mouthecl at the anour of
the evening's agonie .
Ile hacl uggestl'd that they engage a
little company of ac·tor · to give whatever
play they l'aretl to and the company
might be compose<l of whoever it chose to
he. The villager \\·ere overwhelmed by
the wisdom of thi · speeC'h. Their eyes
"·ere wild with excitement and CYery
face expre. eil amazement and an unselfish. cle<>p. lwartfrlt admiration. They
at like• so numY statues and coulrl not
express their ~nboun<led joy until old
dea<'on Ilohst•n leapeil to hi feet and
<·ri!'cl. •' \Y aal suhs. our Yillage will :encl
men tu Congress yet, . uh , '"hen it makes
. tock like that." and he pointed to the
hero b •fore the pnhli<'. This awoke eYeryone. 'rhey got up an<l houted anil
dll'ere<l and stampetll·d. The most raclil'al en•n \\·cnt out iutn the one little
stn·C't and lit honfir<'S aml organized a
parade and the dl'liverl'r \\·as carried
hmlll' in ~n·at pomp h~· his mo t grateful
all<l arcknt aclmirrr:s. 'l'hr next evrning a
c·ommittee was appointed for the se<'uring
of a compan~· an<l anothrr for thl' arrangPnwnt of llate. ck. The l'Ommittee
of Dare. etc., went O\' r to Deacon IIob:en 's house where the official eall'ndar
\\·as krpt. It was thr only one in the village antl \\·a. looked upon with a deep
and pion: reverenC'e. The Deacon's wife
\\·a angry and \Yhen she was a. keel to
produre the ealenclar . he flew into a furry. ru hed to the euphoard, threw out the
calenilar and cleparted, half running,
half jumping up the . tair expressing an
infinite number of opinion of ''that there
notion of theirn. ''
The iron rimmed . pel'tade went up.
The great debate wa over; it wa to be

A REMINISCENCE .
In 1902 they haci an excellent bowling
team in Keno ha High 'ehool. It one time
happened that all the llll'mlw1·s of the
team were on detention on the afternoon
that they were to howl against omc team.
A they sat there thinking of orne excuse
to tell the tea\'IH•r in chargt'. 011e of the
fellows pa sed thl' worn along that he had
to go to see a clPntist. He WC'nt to the
traC'her and askl'tl to he l'XC'HS<'cl hecau.-e
h<' had au appointment "·ith the clenti t.
Rhe a.-kecl him the name or the dentist
and thP time of his appointment and then
C'xc·used him. 1'hen one hv one the rest
of the fellow "·ent to her a'nn askeu to he
excu. eel. saying that they had an appointnwnt "-ith the c1rntist. She asked eaC'h
of thC'm the amr questions. he had a kr<l
th<' fir:t one, arnl then rxeuseci them.
The 1wxt rnoring he got up hefore the
c·lass ancl , aici that it . <'t>med strange to
her that fiye certain hoys should have appointment. with a denti t on the ame
day, auci he continued that the strangest
part of it wa that four of them shoulcl
have appointment with the ame dentist
at the same hour. A. a re. ult the boy
were on detention for the next two night .
Lives of football men remind us,
We can kick and buck and bug,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on another's mug.

She stood upon the doorstep
And 100ked at him with scorn.
He stood upon the sidewalk
Rejected and forlorn.
With pleading eyes he viewed her;
Alas! but all in vain.
And on his nr,ble visage
Appeared a look of pain.
"One word!" he asks, yet hopeful
And then he turned away;
For the lady had informed him,

The Racine Game in Spencerian Stanza.
The boys were playing on the football field
They summoned all their forces to the fray
But spite of all their efforts did they yield
And we lost the game that fareful day.
But ~tilt we know in spite of all they say
That if the better team won the game,
Our High School's sky would not have looked
so gray.
So we will cheer the team with might and main
To show that spite of Fate, their labors are
not vain.

Charlie Ellwarus op<>ned the door of his

Mrs. Edwar<ls.
Charlie immediately entere<l.
"I've

Aunt Jo ie <lropped her sewing and

" 'The dec•pase<l wa. one who e character

THE GAME.
Bob burst into the room with a mingled look of anger and astoni ·hment in his
face. " ay, Jack, what's all this I hear
about you being l'anned from the team
because you lack the ··go'' you harl at
first because you thillk you don't need
to try any more, - what - you rloll 't
mean it's straight. \Vhy Jack, without
you we will lose the game Friday. \Ve
can't afforrl to take you off. Isn't there
any possible chance for you to get on
again 1''
'' one,'' rcplierl his room mate, a tall
athletic looking fellow of about seventeen - '' .l\lorse told me that if I wanted
to I could begin over with the scrubs
but you know I couldu 't <lo that. \Vhy,
I'd be ridiculed, laugherl at - oh never.
Oh, why Cl.id I get such a swelled headbut' ', and a. look of anger came over his
face, "If he doe n't repent putting Ranrlolph in my place before the game is over, I'm greatly mistaken. That little re<l
headed whipper snapper has always
wanted my positi011, Bob - I've half a
notion to beat him out of it yet - But
no - couldn't-"
''Jack, you coulcl," replie<l bis roommate, divining his thought . ·'Go on with
the scrubs, work, WORK, with a capital
w, and show them what you're made of.
Do something for your t•ountry. It's all
in the game and you've got a fair cha1we
to take the trick in the end. You have
one consolation ancl that is, you <'an he
sure that l\lorse will give you a square
deal."
Jack hesitatNl for a moment and tl11'n
a look of clett>rmi11atio11 1·ame ovt>r his
face, anrl he rq>lit>d "I '11 do it Bob. I'll
show -'em. You 1·a11 lH't your money that
I'll get into the game or die in the attempt.''
This conversation took place in one of

the dormitoriPs of Bridges Aca<lcmy
ahout three weeks before the big gallle
of the sl'asou. Both of the boy · were tall
and \Ydl \milt the typical eollege

there was grl'at rivalry l.Jt>tween them.

but the coaeh never by word or a1·tion
in<li<·ated that he was in the least im·linl'<l to give J a<· k his old position. 'l'he
clays went by and J ad{ became dis!'ouraged, when, on the uay before the game,
he had not yPt been notified that he was
to play. 'l'h e I ist wl're finally postcu a11cl
Jack finally got the courage to look at
the lists. Ilis name \Yas not on the list
of regular players but it was poste<l

find Bob. Bob was <lisappointed but still
hopeful.
•·Well, prohahly Ranclolph will play
out. Ili ankle is still weak you know. I
don't wish him any bad luck: but I hope
he does."
Ja<·k had the sympathy of the boys and
as Ranclolph was far from popular, the
general hope of the school was refiected
in Bob's stat<'ml'nt.
At last tlu• grc•at Clay arrived - an

THE SPY

QUEER GIRL.
It has often been saicl, and with some
truth, that girl are a mystery - that is,
to the boys. Of cour e they are no my tery to themselves, they always know
exactly what they intend to do - unles
they change their mind ·. One per on relates that a girl di<L not like a certain boy
because in telling tories, the latter wa
so careful to cover all the groun<l that
the girl woulil. alway be a jump ahead of
him. One jump i putting it mildly. Generally it is about six jumps, and often,
when a fellow has finished the story, the
girl is about a dozen ahead of him figuri11g out another eonclusion. I should
think it would he mtH'h easier on the
whole nervou sy ·tem to follow a jump
behind the story tPller, enil. up with him,
and get the story right, but girls are
girls, to modify an ol<l proverb.

1t may ound like one) once a girl an<l
boy were talking together between dance

boy, and he was just an ordinary - I
beg your pardon. no heroine is ever ordinary, and how <'an there be a story
without a heroine? She wa a bewikhing, fa cinating hloncle, with eyes that
dance<l, lips that werp forever in motion,
and a mind that was C'Ontinually trying
manMuvrl'R in the jumping line. Iler faee
wa 1'xqui itdy morh,lled, an<l she herself
was without a pl'l'r in the whole a semhlage. She was nC'ither large nor small,
but of that typ<' whi<'h C'an appear to be
eithn at the wish of thPir own sweet will

that is all. lt would give the soldiers
something to talk about during idle hours.
At la ·t the place is reached. The soldier rabble forms a compact ma s at the

o.fficers go up to :tlloha111111e<l Ali, who is
:stan<li1w about ten varcl · in front of the
firing . quad, to blindfold him. His stony
face, a trifie pale, expre.-se nothing as
he motion them aside.
"I will face <l.eath like a Turk," he
said.
A murmur of applau.·e goes thru the

action. '·Perhaps there i some good in

The offaer steps to the ·ide of the firing squad and gives an order. The guns
mcehanil'ally go to the men's shoul<lcrs .

turns about and fa(·e them. Ile is going

We have desired for some time past
to put the high school library into better
condition and to increa 'e Its circulation.
In order to du this, the buoKs have been
arrang-ed here as thev are at the S1mm1rns Library. On the south wall of the
main office there i a three-sectioned
bookca-;e, divided for con\•enience's sake
into p.trt one (that on the left), part two
(the middle section) and part three.
In part one, arrang-ed in numerical
order, are the classe · from one hundred
np to and including- eight hundred.
\Vhtle each cla~s h::i.s a number of ~ub­
divisions, there are certain ones which
ought to be noticed particularly. Class
one hundred is given over mainly to mythlolg-y.
Class two hundred to civics
and economics. Class 3110 to physiography and physiolog-y and class 800 to all
literature except fiction, to Eog-lish and
American poems, essays. dramas and ·o
forth.
In part two of the bookcase are the
nine hundre<ls. First come books on
history, - ancient, modern and American. then biography and then travel.
In part three is all the fiction, arranged in alphabetical order according
to authors.
Among these are many
books used for book report, by auth•)rs
such as Alcott, Cooper, Dickens, Eggle ton, Hawthorne, Irving and cott.
Besides these, there are other books
which will he more or less in demand.
They can be found now only by a little
searLhing. but we hope in the future ta>
have some sort of a catalog-ue.

"\Ye extenrl ... ew Year greetings to aU
of our exchange friends. A goodly number reaches us monthly which is pleasing
and gratifying. Our sister publications
would not eek out the worst periodicals
with whieh to exchange.
Our proposed policy of putting the best
exehanges out on the reading table for
general e.-amination was unavoidably
postponed on account of some trouble in
getting the nere · ary cover to protect
them. \Ye finally got on the right track
and hope that our High chool readers
will sufficiently appreciate our efforts to
serve them to cornpen ·ate the inconvenience to which we were put to iuaugurate
the scheme.
To guicle our reacler in their peru al
of our exchanges this month, we submit
the followiug:
TIIE ORA LE, ,Jamaica High School,

of too.

stuclents.
TIIE \YEEKLY REYIK\Y, II. H. S.,

carefully.
Even though a newspaper

appearance as a magazine, the fact that

we ometimes think.

The Girl's First Corset.
Here, indeed, is a triumph.
Th<" long unfilled
'k /
requirement has bet>n for a corset which wourd sup/ _.,, •
plant the unsightly car.et wa1sfa and assure by 1t<> ('.·,
appearance and actual dcmoni;tration, that it would . '\;·
not injure the youthful figure or retard normal dcvelopme~t.
This constituted a problem challenging th utmost resources of our designers. The
succefs is emphatic.
The corset is anatomicall:v correct. It cannot
lnJure. It is flexibility it'!elf and contrihutes to
utmost suppleness. It will not hurt any place.
This corset wa11 made po ihle only through the
Gossard front-lacing, as proper adjustment could
not have been se .. ured othcrwi e.
Mothers are are now afforded, for their daughters, appearance as well as comfort.

A DELIGHTFUL TRIP.
One evening, soon after the holidays,
l wa .·o weary that I retired very early.
A hlizzar<l wa
raO'ing out ·ide and it
eemed <.:ozy indeed to snuggle down between the ni<.:e warm cover . About mid11ight l "·as a\Yakene<l by a queer noise.
l ·at up and listened but lay down again
bel'mu· I thought it ·was just the wind I
had lwar<l. l dozed off, but was presently awakened again by this same scrambling. fwrat<.:hiug noise. This time I was
thoroughly arouse<l and frightened. Just
a l was about to switch on the light, I
hear<l a weet tinkling voice say,
'·There! l did make it."
l knew I ha<l hrard that voice some
where, but I c:ould not plac:e it for a minute. A. I was thinking it came over me
·u<ldeuly that it wa the music:al voice of
Peter Pan. I had been to the theater the
night before, to see him in the play. Ile
mu ·t have een me there and tried to loC'ate me. I dosed my ryes and waite<l to
see what he would <lo. In a minute he
cro ·s(•d over to my he<l and began to sing
a quaint little song.
'·Oh! "'on 't you come with me Y
Oh! won't you 1·ome with me 7
To where \Ve d1ildren play,
To where Wl' l'hil<lren play,
Oh ! if you will 1·ome,
I '11 as ure you' twill be fun,
Oh come with me!''
·with this I opened my eyes and cried,
''Oh! Peter, do you really want me tu
<lo what you just ai<J Y I shall be so
happy."
Ile answered in that sweet way of his,
"YP<;, I do. I aw you la t night and I
likrd ~-on. an<l wanted to play with you.
Come on!''

I jumped out of becl and put on my
dothes, while he was playincr with a little light he had with him. At first I
thought it was a flash light, but I knew
it l'Ouldu 't be. bec:ause it tinkled au<l any,rn~ what would he be doing with one 7
I wa · so intere ·ted that I a ked him.
Ile ·aid, "It is a little .t'ri(•nd of mine,

When she talk to me she

~\ft~r he told me this I remembered
about Tinker Bell in the play. By
this time I was rl'a<ly to go. Peter

THE SPY

The Camera Club gave a sleigh ride
Saturday, Feb H. which was greatly
enjoyed by all the members. The Club
was entertained at the home of Marjorie
Miller after the ride and many thanks
are.due to ~Irs. Miller for the good eats
and general gl>ud time which eve rybody
had.
On ~Ionday Feb. 16 a debate was held
in the assem '1ly between the Seniors and
Juniors.
The question was: Resolved
that the Commission form of Government would be the better form for Kenosha. The Juniors had the affirmative
and the Seniors the negative. The debate was won by the neg-ative.
The
judges were Mis Evans, Miss Kanarr
and Mr. Hill.
At the basket-ball game with Lake
Geneva, the Junior class had the largest
number of representatives. Taken as a
whole. however, in regard to percentage
the classes were about equal, and the results of the game show what school spirit
can do.
Just before the Lake Geneva game the
Lyceum Leag-ue had a spread and a program after school, after which they went
to the game. The program consisted of
music by 1Iarg-arie Miller and readings
by Alice McCall, Georgia Grover, Hazel
MacDonald and Jessie Hill. After the
program the girl went down to the Dome tic cience room where a buffet "upper was erved and a general social time
followed, until time for the game.
Don't forget the Minstrel of all the
nation
at the Coliseum Friday night,
April 17.
During the past month several of last
year's Senior class made K. H. S. a visit.

The two debating team· of the Kenosha High School thrashed out their differen ces on Friday afternoon. February
20. before the assembly.
The debate
was on '.he "Minimum \Vage" question
and the Neg-ative drew an unanimous
decision. The tudent took great interest in the contest and we are certain
that they will support the teams as they
should be upported. for they have put in
about four months of hard work in order
to maintain the honor of the school on
the night of the debates with Racine and
Baraboo.
Thru the generosity of Mrs. McKenzie the Senior cla s was able to have a
little party on Friday, Feb. 20. at the
Weiskopf School.

witm'ssed at thl' l oliseum, the game it elf
was fa ·t and uoteworthy for the fact that
there was uot one foul called <luring the

THE
HOSIERY
INDUSTRY.
The exfrnt of the hosiery industry can
only he appreeiat<'d when we consider the
fa('t that nearly ninety millions of people
in the Cnitr<l States alone wear hosiery
twelve mouths in the year. Then, too,
there are so many different styles of ho e
that the iudustry is practically limitle. s.
The ('hi ea go-Kenosha Hosiery Co. which
makrs a branrl. known a. the "Black
Cat'' is no small fa(·tor in supplying the
demaJHl .for the articles which they manufaetnrc.
The mrthod of the Krnosha factory
haYe been so ·ntematised that the faetory 's l'ffit-ien<::): ha rea!'l1crl a Yery h i~h

«lasse ; namely, when sto<'k is pr( pare<l
into ~ arn. "·here the stol·kiug-s are knit.
whrre the finishing touehes are given to
the prodtwt and wltcre thl" procluct is finally ho.·e<l and shipped.
.Altho mueh of the yarn is receiverl by
the factory already for the knitting machines ( chiefiy better grade of silk)
much of the stock comrs in bales, loose

obtained from the \Yest just as the sheepranehes had packe<l it an<l for the cheaper grades of Hosiery ol<l worn out tocking. arc u e<l.
The pro<·ess of preparing these crude
materials into yarn is a very intere ting
our. There is a machine in one room
"·hith is use<l in t<'aring the crurle cotton trand from strand anl1 then dischargin"' it out the back of the machine in a
long white fiuffy rope. All the machines
that prepare the yarn aet in this way.
But before the material is knitterl it is
passed thru another machine. An atten<lant puts it in at one en<l and it comes
out at the other end in . everal uniform
strand each winding itself on a separate
<'Ompartment in a large drum. The drum
is then rarried to another machine where
a strctrhing anrl twisting process goes
on. The yarn is now entirely finisherl

exc:cpting for a few fini bing touches.
'ome of the better qualitie. are mixed
with wool and ilk; all are mnmd on bobbins and carrie<l to different knitting
rooms.
.As a stocking cannot he compkted on
one maC'hine. the knitting proee.. may
be divided iIJto three parts. The leg are
first knit i11 a long tube ha ped form.
In one room alone there were nearly two
hundrerl ma!'l1i11es knitting this part of
the stocking alone; the pro<luet. of the
diffpn·nt ma«hinrs ra11gi1111 m ize from
baby'. stol·kiugs to adults. The c tubeshapecl affairs were then c011nyerl to a
tutting room where thPy "'l'l'P l'llt into

THE SENLOR BANQUET.
The A nnual Senior Banquet which
took place on Friday, Feb. 13. was quite

on the decorations for several days and
the result of their labors to say the least,
was very pleasing. Mr. Maloney who is
Pre ident of the School Board, was the
guest of honor. Th e toasts given by
~Ir. Maloney, Mr. Tremper, Miss Yule
and the honor-students, were ver y in1eresting and characterized the pirit of

Mark Kindt carried off the first honor

as covers were laid for sixty persons. The
fact that the banquet was held so near
Valentines Day, led to the selection of
decorations appropriate for that day.

not been for the detaining of the class

A LESSON IN SPIRITUALISM.
''A grown man like you, N e<l., ought
to be ashamed to make ·uch a silly remark,'' Aliee Keandall o bserve<l scathinglv.
• "\Yhat ·illy remark?"
''Why you just said ghosts do walk,
and spirit <lo talk to people. Of all foolis~1 things I have ever heard, that is the
worst.''
··\\"ell. you may helieYe it or not," ~Ir.
Blnom hotlv retorted. '·but I've had
so;ne l'Xperit·~ict•s myself \\·hid1 have proven it to me. For instance-"
'·Oh. now don't start one of your fairy
stories.''
"But I tell you it's th<' truth."
"I've hear<l that f.o often that I am
beginning to think it is another of your
stories.''
"Let him tell his story," chimed in the
rest of the crown about the fire place.
It was a chill fall night, just the kind
of a night when you like to crow<l around
a wood fire, and listen to a hair-raising
ghost . tor) while you furtively look
aroun<l into the dark corners of the room.
It \Yas the same crowd which had ~one together sinee . chool days. Ted and Alice
were at it again, thre hing out the problem of spiritulism. Ned was a <lreamer, a
man who was always finding something
mYSterious in the most common occurre'nce , while Alice was the practical matter-of-fact girl who always wante<l. to
know the why and wherefore of things.
As usual the remainder of these assemhle<l there listened to and were bored by
the <l.ebate, and, when a story made its
appearance they eagerly asked for it re-

gardless of Alice's opinions as to Ned's
veracity.
"It was on a foggy moonless night,"
began the somewhat mollifie<l Ned, .. that
I happened to be passing near where the
Titanic sank on the anniversary of the
<lisaster. I had taken passage at New
York, and was on my way to Liverpool.
At <liuner the captain stood up. hemed
a little, starte<l to speak, coughed behind
his han<l, and at last solemnly said in his
most sepulchral tones that we would pa s
the resting place of the Titanic that night
at the time of its sinking. \Ve were all
duly impre se<l and resolYcd to remain
awake. Only the most har<lened travellers even thought of retiring. Early in
the evening while impatiently walking
around the deck, I ran into one of the
seamen who proved to be a relic of the
old ailing-vessel <lays. I began to question him about the sinking of the Titanic,
an<l soon got him to talking freely. He
tol<l me there was an old torv which he
himself had proven true, that· all ·unken
ships rose again an<l. completed the journey. They generally began acl'ompli hin"' this ft•at, he claimed. on the day
of the first anniversary of their
sinking. I, of course, cofl'e<l. at his
story, at which he appeared hurt and hurrie<l away upon ome forgotten duty. I
got to thinking about his story, but it
seemed so foolish that I attempted to forget it. That was impossible. It recurred
to me again and again until I actually
began to take tock in it. Queer, isn't
it, how a thing like. that will come back
to you, an<l you after a while actually be-

THE SPY
lieve it has happened to you~''
"That is the way mo t of your '·true
stories'' ha pp en?
ONLY you imagine
them instea< l of being told them," Alice
scornfully interposed.
''As I \vas saying,'' .. r Nl continued,
turning <nrny from his rnterrupter. '·I
began to think there was some truth in
the sailor's story. I became disturbccl
and curious, waiting for l knew not what.
'Whenever I thought of the story iry shivers played tag along my backbone, and
some even be1·ame so timorous as to run
up into my hair and attt>mpt to makt> a
four inch pompadour of it under my cap.
If I remember right, I wore out a perfectly good pair of shoes, and I can't recollect how many inches of <leek !umber
I reduced to <lust that night. For the
rest of the voyage I avoided the officers
as much as possible, fearing they woulil
han<l me a bill for my night's walk. But
argue as I would, I could not convince
myself but that the sailor's story was
what be claimed it to be. I resolved to
put spiritulism to the test that night. If
nothing happene<l, I would denounce
seances and mediums as fakes, but if, on
the other han<l, somethina unusual occure<l. I would devote the rest of my life
to 1·onvcrting people to my belief. I
prayed to the spirit that was nearest me
that night that he or she might giYe me
some sign to strengthen my belief in
them.
".Tow vou mav believe me or not. 1

THE SPY

THE PATCHWORK QUILT.
When little six: year ol<l Te<ldy was recuperating from a long har<l eige of sicknes . his <'On tant cry was ''Mother, what
can I do?'' Finally in rlesperation his
mother sugge ted that he make a patchwork quilt. otferi ng- as an inccn u Vt·. " µ\!nny for every pakh.
In spite of the
taunts of his brother . 'feddy went bravely to work, keeping up his pirits by the
thot of the gun he would buy when his
task should be complete<l.
A. the work was so slow, Teddy rlecided that he could pay two of his little
playmates for helping him an<l still have
monPy enough left to get the gun, so
Jack and Tom became as busy over the
(1uilt a Te<l.
Finally the great <lay arrived and Teddy fiew to his mother for his pay. -\Vhen
. he hE>sitatecl Ted said. "l\lother, you
prom1. ed.'' "Ye . dPar. I promise<l and
you shall have your money." AC'eordingly shr took a fiYe dollar gold piere from
a jewl'l ease an<l gan it to Ted. The
coin bore the elate 1 25, and her grandfathrr had given it to her on her six:ternt h hirthc1ay.
··Oh. mother. not that. "exclaimPd Terldy_'s older brother as he reeognizerl the
<:0111.
"Yes. Dan. I gave Teddy my promise.
At any rost I'll keep my word." And
Tl'ddy ran off to his waiting friernls.
Y rar passed. Ted grew from a little
hoy with the responsibilities of making
a patt-hwork quilt upon his houlrlers into a college man with the re ponsibilities
of life upon him.
Ted ha<l just settlerl down to his Greek
one evening when a rlozen or more boys
burst into the room.
"Hello, old man. IIate to di turb you,
of cour se. but you see how it is," started in Ray a big, healthy looking fellow,

'·We've finished the plans for to-night.
"\Ve 'll go over to olrl man Bannley 's
house. Ile 's abroad for the winter, you
know, and that house is entirely empty.
We can easily get in! Jones i going to
bring the champagne down later on after
dark, anrl the rest of us will see to the
chips and <:ards. Here's your job, old
man - you 're to bring a blanket or
quilt; just something to keep and outsirlers '·warm in,'' in case of rli co very-get
me?" He laughed loudly at his joke and
the others joined in.
''All right, fellows, I'll be with you,''
said Terl as they began to troop out.
"We '11 he along for you about ten
o'clock. Be ready - so long."
After the boys had gone, Ted sat still
in cleep thot. For some rea on hi thots
turned to his mother, who harl rlied the
year he entererl college.
Ile saw her
now. as she looked when she ·was bidding
him good-bye, as he was tarting away to
school. '·Good-bye, Tedrly dear,'' she
had aid. with tears in her eyes, ''you
are young. Ted be careful! Have a goorl
timr. my hoy. hut keep to the straight
and narrow path;" anrl he harl promised
her faithfully.
But pshaw! C'rrtainly there i · no harm
to a frieurlly little game of poker, and a
fellow can't he a stick and till be popular.'' reasoned Ted.
Ile went ha<·k to his Greek and sturlied
until nearly ten. Suddenly he thot of
his part in the evening's fun. "By
gink , that blanket!"
He pulled out a box of bedding which
his sister had sent at the beginning of
the colrl weather anrl which he had not as
yet been compelled to open. The top came
off after a few tugs anrl pulls, and the
fir t thing he pulled out wa the patchwork quilt of his childhood rlays.

:Jliss Yule's room one day he put his foot
under the desk and when he attempted to
withdraw it - it tuek ! It took about
ten minutes with the combined efforts of
two teacher· to get his foot free. \Ve will

He was

don't enYy him, he has our sincerest sympathy.

Great excitement wa arou ed on the
morning of 't. Patrick'· Day fire, by the
burning of the old malt house on Chicago Street. Mr. \.Yard was among the
most concerned if we can juclge from the
time at which he got to school. He then
had to work overtime getting an excuse

Here we are people; here·s the whole crowd of us,
Pretty nigh thru with the job we are on;
Size up our work-it will give you the hang of us,
Show you the laurels our students have won.
Look at us well; the whole husky crowd of us
Orators, athletes, demure maidens, too.
Taken together you always will find us
Raising school standards and being true blue
Fagged by the long years of steady hill-climbing,
Yet filled to the brim with vigor and sand,
Trained for the future of lif e·s first great battles
Who·s going to encourage our little band.
Don't keep us back, let us push on e·en blindly
We can show all of you what we can do.
Got any task they say is impossible?
Got any job that can't be got thru?
Give us a chance to prove to you throughly
We can do things "nobody ever could do:

The Ideals of Your Youth.
Ah, do vou till rememher
\Vh.en you were .vnung and fair
When the ideal· ot vour vouth
Were castles in· the a·ir?
You still had known no sorrow,
.No hard or bitter grief.
That you would be a g-enius
Was your one and firm belief.
\Vhen vour teacher prai ·ed your drawings
Then an artist you would be
When your pnem first wa publi'hed
You turned to the literary sea.
You were sparkling with ambition
Ambition e'er rose high
The world would surely hea.r from you
Sometime before you'd' die.
Many years have passed ince then
But ambition, faith and truth
Are still your chief companions
The Ideals of your Youth.

ONE HOUR BEHIND PRISON BARS.
or
A Story of a Policeman's Big Feet.
It was during the foothall season and
our High ~ehool Tt•am had dl'feated several team · from other cities indurling our
ancient rivals. Ra<·ine. A few nights after our victon· over Ral'inc i;ome of the
football playe;s tarterl out to call on the
members of the facultv. All went well
until they reachecl the ·home of a certain
Professor. \\'lwn thev were about to turn
into the yard one of the boys suggested
the giving of a few High School Yells
just to let the Profrssor know they wl're
eoming and so that he might have time
enough to put his half fini:hed cigar anrl
smoking materials away before he received them. All at once. while they were
standing there one of th<' city's mo t famous Offi<-ers of the Law loomed up in
the darkness with hi tar flashing in the
light as though, even as he thot, it gave
him protedion from the "·orst criminals
Ile swung his dub as tho it was biggL'r
than Tecldy 's ··Big Stick.'' Asking no
questions he sPizecl the two Freshmen hy
the <·ollar ancl tarterl toward town. It
all happl'Jll'cl so quickly that it took a frw
minuh's for tht• Gpper ClassnH•n to realize
that the poor Frl'shman harl heen arrl' ·trd. h<•cause th<'v had no idea that Kenosha Police Officials coulrl arrest sueh
criminals as I• r<.'shnwn who were merely
giving yells and songs of Kl'twsha Iligh
Sl·hool.
In a short time tlw other fellows caught
up with the trio. It looked so much like
a funeral procession that the other fellows thot that it would be a good chance
to let the Freshmen h<'ar their sehool
song once more before being confined behind the prison walls of our county Ba Feet - Feet - Feet-Feet- Chatatille.
Rhea- Rhea- 1\luck, l\luck-Chuck, not
knowing that the Officer was flat-footed,
pigeon-toed, anrl wore size eleven shoes.
As the pro<·ession progres eel, it became
evident to those marching behinrl that the

Page Fifteen
Cop " ·as going to take tlll'm thru :Jlain
8t. to show the citizens that he hacl made
au arrest. and that he was on the job and
not a h'l'P at his po t. Ile arlmitted afterwards that hacl the hoYs been an hour
lah•r he "·ould have h~<'ll dreamin" of
some big l'riminal he had captured insteacl of two poor Freshmen. As the
num·h <·ontinnt'd thrn ~lain Nt., all the
people stan•d in amazement to see whether they werl' cln'aming or whether a Kenosha offil·Pr had really made an arrest.
At that time the Police Office was 011 the
seL·ornl tloor of the ('al kin's Building.
\\.hen the ol'lil-l'l' and his Follo,n·rs readied the steps learling up to the offiee. the
officer stepp<>cl h;u·k arnl inform<'d the other five that theY. too, were under arre t
and told them 'to proceecl upstair' "·ith
the Fre hmcn. \\'ithout any questions or
explanations their name· were put on the
police records, chargecl with rlisturbing
the peace. The prisoners were then placed in the l'Otmty jail pending their appearatH'<' lwfore the ofti<-ials the next
morning. (The offiL·er. hy the way. hall to
borrow a hat even sizes larger than the
one he harl worn out on his beat that
night to wear home). That rl'eord ( even
simultan<.'ous siugle-hancled arrests) still
stand unbroken. At the jail the Sheriff
instrudt>ll the pri ·oncrs to hand on·r everything in their pockets. Ile then placed ead1 prisoner in a separate l'ell. Ile
told tlwm to go to sleep hel'ausc their •
trial eame up at nine o'cl<H'k the next
morning. The frllow thinking that the
other prisoners would like a little entertaimueut started to gi\·e a song. They
were i!lbout half 'my thru when they
"·ere tol<l to keep <1uiet or han the hose
turnerl on them.
"In the meantime" a brother of one of
the bo~·s who hacl heen in the procession
to the Polite Office got husy and seC'urPd
orrlers from the C'hief of Police for their
releases, with instructions to appear next
morning flt nine o'clock for trial.
While the sheriff was quieting the even who were now inging '·In the Prison

the phone rang and the ('hi pf ord<.'rerl the
release of tlH• hoy. for the night. ~\.11

But if one took a kiss, would another

You run from a mouse, or a whole ne t

But generally look for houses, not hice.
I mention a foot, or glance at your feet
But speak of your boots, and not of
