( AT HOPE HOSPITAL Case Has Been Diagnosed as Tuberculosis of the Spine —Seriously Sick. E. W. Busche and J. J. Longenberger of Monroe came to this city and took the 1 o'clock car for Fort Wayne where they will call on a neighbor, i L. L. Rupert, who is a patient at Hope hospital. Mr. Rupert is in a most serious condition and no hopes for his recovery are entertained, the physicians having diagnosed his case as tuberculosis of the spine. Mr. Rupert i is one of the most highly esteemed i residents of Monroe township and i the news of his serious illness is re- 1 ceived with much sorrow by his ac- i quaintances. It is not known how ] soon he will be taken to his home. < He has been a patient at the hospital 1 since last Thursday, where the phy- < sicians have diagnosed his case, which ; it is thought, has proven to be be- i yond cure. — < The twinkle of wedding bells if is t said will break in upon the tinkle of < bells at the telephone exchange. It i is said they will ring simultaneously ; with those of Christmas time, making I a chime in the true sense of the word. Word from the bedside of Mrs. Gus Griesinger of Walnut street, who is i quite sick with uraemic poisoning, is i that she is somewhat better today. , which is very encouraging to her . many friends. 1 The pupils of Miss Bess Congleton gave a pretty Christmas program that was enjoyed by many guests as well as the school. Their room at the library building was decorated gaily for the occasion, not least of the many pretty things being the Christmas tree that occupied the place of honor at the front. Arranged about this were the presents from the teacher to her pupils. Gay Christmas wreaths and greens, together with the Santa Claus stencil around the blackboard, gave the proper Christmas setting. — MEN —Learn automobile business. We teach you at home.

SOCIETY DOINGS Sewing Club Enjoys Celebration of Birthday of a Member. HISTORICAL CLUB Entertained by Mrs. Nettie Schrock — Presbyterian Ladies’ Officers. A Christmas Secret. Christmas is a time of secrets. So I’ll whisper one to you; Grandpa says that all who try it Find that every word is true: "Would you have a happy day? Give some happiness away.” Grandpa says this little secret Should be carried through tfe year, And if all would try to heed it Earth would soon be full of cheer. “Would you have a happy day? Give some happiness away.” CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Wednesday. Shakespeare—Mrs. Chalmer Schafer. Thursday. Entre Nous —Miss Goldie Gay. Needlecraft —Sue and Celia Mayer. Friday. Christian Aid —Mrs. Jacob Eady. Mr. and Mrs. John Christen expect to have a happy family reunion on Christmas Day, this event being also the birthday anniversary of Mrs. Christen. Her sons, Harry Christen and wife and Jesse Christen of Ft. Wayne, Bert of Toledo, Gus Christen and wife of Louisville, Ky.; E. S. Christen and family of Monmouth and Ray of this city, will make the family circle complete, with the exception of a daughter, Mrs. B. B. Uhl, of Mansfield, Ohio. The Uhls will probably not be able to come until after Christmas, as the services at Rev. Uhl’s church will preclude their leaving at this time. They may come later, but this is doubtful, as Rev. Uhl's aged mother at Millersburg, Ohio, is seriously sick. Among the Christmas family reunions of next Sunday will be that of the C. U. Dorwin family. All the children but one, Mrs. Miles Pillars, of Jonesboro, Ark., will be at home at that time, the circle including Jesse Braden and family and Miss Gyp Dorwin of Fort Wayne; Miss Mayme, who has been at Peoria, 111., the past month where she has a good position as stenographer; Will Dorwin and family and Guy Dorwin of this city. Mr. Jack Church of Spokane, Wash., will also be a guest. Mr. and Mrs. Will Doherman of Ft. Wayne will entertain a company of Decatur relatives on Christmas Day. The party will include Mrs. Doherman's father, T. H. Ernst, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Lachot, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Annen, Mrs. C. M. Hower. A Christmas tree for the Doehrman children and all the other pleasant features of the day, which are enjoyed by both old and young, will be in order. The Needlecraft club will be entertained Thursday evening by the Misses Celia and Sue Mayer, the evening promising to be an unusually enjoyable one. Christmas Day will be a happy one of family reunion at the Dr. P. B. Thomas home. Four generations will be represented in the circle which will include Dr. Thomas’ mother, Mrs. Carolyn Thomas and her son, E. R. Thomas, of Glencarn, Ohio, and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Haubold and daughter, Helen Estella, of Evanston, 111. The Menu-ate club will hold no meeting this week, the next to be held next Wednesday afternoon, when Miss Frances Merryman will be hostess. Miss Goldie Gay will be hostess Thursday evening to the girls of the Entre Nous club at a Christmas meeting. Mr. and Mrs. George Houser will eat Christmas turkey with Joe Martin and family. Special pains taken by the hostess, Mrs. P. B. Thomas, made the entertainment of the Sewing club Tuesday afternoon an unusually pleasant affair, the occasion being the birthday anniversary of one of the members, Mrs. Florence DeVilbiss. After the needlework of the earlier hours, the dinner served at 6 o’clock, proved to be unusually tempting. The table put omits best “Christmassy” attire in honor of I the approaching holiday, as well in reI gard for the anniversary celebrated : Tuesday, and gave a very pretty ap- ' pearance. There was a miniature

Christmas tree growing from a mirror | lake surrounded by dainty sprigs of holly for the centerpiece. The place cards were Christmas booklets, each bearing a message of good cheer and ' best wishes, and every other feature of the decorations and the dinner carried out the Christmas idea. There were no guests other than the club members. The Taylor-Filmore administration, 1 with the paper given by Mrs. Ed Moses and sub-topics by other members of the Historical club, provided an inter- ; esting study last evening at the home of Mrs. Nettie Schrock. Following the study and business period, there was a delightful social time with music and conversation, and refreshments consisting of crackerjack. Among the pleasant things of last evening was the arranging of a “Christmas envelope” which the society sent to one of its members. Dr. Marie L. Holloway, now of Branson, Mich. Each member contributed a Christmas card or greeting to the envelope, which was sent with its message of good cheer this morning. The Concord Lutheran Sunday school of Root township has elected the following omcers ior the new year: Superintendent, S. S. Magley; assistant, E. S. Christen; secretary, Harriet Wilder; assistant, Lloyd Magley; chorister, Helen Fonner; assistant, John ■ Houk; organist, Erma Houk; assistant, Irene Evans. The Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid society held an interesting meeting at the home of Mrs. Ed . Moses Tuesday afternoon, when the annual election of officers took place, resulting as follows: President, Mrs. Eli Meyer; vice president, Mrs. J. H. Heller; secretary, Mrs. M. A. Frisinger; treasurer, Mrs. Ed Moses. The report shows the society in a flourishing condition, the past year having been a most successful one, both socially and financially, and the prospects for the new year are very bright. Following the business, a very good social time was spent, during which very tempting refreshments were served. The “Foxy Five” girls are anticipating a happy reunion at Winchester next week as guests of Miss Florence Goodrich's house party from Tuesday to Saturday. The Decatur girls will include the Misses Dorothy Dugan. Veda Hensley and Gladys Meyers, and they will be met at that place by Miss Winifred Ellingham of Indianapolis. Winifred will then return with them Saturday to be the guest of Miss Dorothy Dugan. John Kiracofe, stenographer for the Smith & Bell office, will leave Saturday afternoon for a week’s vacation, during which time he will visit with relatives and friends in various cities in Ohio and Pennsylvania. o ■ INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM IMMEDIATELY RELIEVED Morton L. Hill of Lebanon, Ind., says: “My wife had inflammatory rheumatism in every- muscle and joint, her suffering was terrible and her body and face were swollen almost beyond recognition; had been in bed , six weeks and had eight physicians, but received no benefit until she tried Dr. Detchon’s Relief For Rheumatism. It gave immediater relief and she was able to walk about in three days. I am sure it saved her life. Sold by the Holthouse Drug Co. wed&sat-3mo.
