And still the American soldiers are tramping up and down the Mexican border line. Os course the average American wouldn’t stand for an insult from the people of that nation, nor would they stand for the shooting of Americans, if the latter made any attempt to keep from being shot, but the average American also believes that at present there is no need for sending our army into the southern republic, realizing that though easy to get in, it might be a hard matter to get out clean.

The thing that goes the farthest towards making life worth while, That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile— The smile that bubbles from aheart that loves its fellowmen, Will drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the sun again.

Euterpean —Mrs. Fred Patterson. Helping Hand —Miss Lizzie Knapp. Needlecraft—Miss Celia Mayer. Orient—Mrs. Charles Hower. Salem Aid—Mrs. William Alfather. Baptist Aid—Laura Lake. A public reception was tendered the retiring M. E. minister, the Rev. Mr. Jones, and his wife at the church Monday evening. The attendance was quite large as Mr. Jones and his wife have been very popular and well liked by the Ossian charge, and there was a good deal of sorrow expressed by members of the church when it was learned that the must leave for other fields of usefulness. The decision of conference in sending Mr. Jones to another charge saddened the many friends who bad hoped that their pastor might be allowe to remain with them. Mr. and Mrs. Jones left for Warren to take the superintendency of the old folks’ home (M. E.) at that place. Those of the Pocahontas lodge who went to Monroeville to install the new lodge Wednesday evening enjoyed one of the happiest times of their lives and report that the new sister membership will be welcome to the local lodge whenever they wish to pay them a visit. The excellent work accomplished is due to the efforts of Al Garard. who has been working for some time to arrangethings, and the little city is justly proud of their new lodge. The closing study session of the Ladies’ Shakespeare club was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. E. E. Rice, the hostess having the paper on ‘Progress in Present Day India,” which was a very excellent one. The club will not meet again until the opening of the new year's work, which begins the second Wednesday in September. It is thought that the Bay View Reading course will be continued. The dance given last evening by the C. B. L. of I. was well attended and the hall was very prettily arranged for the occasion. Excellent music was furnished during the evening by John Wemhoff and Barney Wertzberger, who rendered complete satisfaction to the many present. Miss Edith Ervin left last evening for Delphos, Ohio, where she will attend the wedding of her brother, Ralph Ervin, which will take place this afternoon. The members of the Needlecraft club will spend a pleasant evening with Miss Celia Mayer, hostess, tonight. ’Squire Gage of Monroe township, who is in the city attending court, was entertaitied over night at the home of Millen Bums. o POLICE COURT NEWS. ♦ Ault Appeared in Court of 'Squire Stone Today. The case of the State vs. John T. Ault, which was filed Wednesday before ’Squire Stone, in which Catherine Berron alleges assault, and battery, was called for trial this morning at 10 o’clock, but on account of a misunderstanding it could not be tried. When Deputy Sheriff Merica served the warrant Ault requested him not to serve the subpoenas, but this morning he changed his mind and stated that he would stand a trial, hence the state was unprepared by not having their witn- ves present and the trial was postponed until April 29th when It will be heard in ’Squire Stone's court.

I ever ready to help in any way to further the Master’s cause. Our loss is heaven’s gain and we can only say, ‘ The Lord’s will be done.” No time for a last farewell No time for the shock of fear Scarcely a moment's halt on the shore With the guide and the boatsman near, Dear, how surprised you wereto go. With little tosuffer ond little to know. Only a moment of dark. A dream of the fleeting night. And then the beautiful break of day, And the quiet peace of light. And you found yourself where you longed to stand. In the presence of the fatherland. The funeral of Mrs. Rosa Krugh was held at the Salem M. E. church Sunday morning at 10, Rev. D. A. J. Brown in charge. It was one of the largest funerals held in Blue Creek township in many years, and the large number that waited outside, with the church crowded within, goes to show the high esteem in which this Christian sister was held. A very large procession followed the remains to their last rt ting place in the cemetery east of Salem. This sistei will not only be missed in the home, but in the church and entire neighborhood. — o —— ‘BEN HUR" Stupendous Production at Majestic Theater. Fort Wayne. The management of the Majestic theater. Fort Wayne, Indiana, has arranged with Klaw & Erlanger for the presentation of Lew Wallaces powerful religio-historic spectacle, ‘‘Ben Hur,” Thursday and Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee April 27, 28 and 29. ‘Ben Hur,’’ with its lustrous “Star of Bethlehem.” its camels. Arabian steeds, oriental trappery and mimic, splendor of the gorgeous cast, is be-j yond doubt the most elaborate spectaele ever staged in the history oi the world. Its series of scenes present to the eye a feast of multifarious beauty and variety all set to a symphonic accompaniment of graceful music. The exciting episodes, such as the galley scene, with its horde of chained slaves, the sea fight, the rescue in mid-sea. the thrilling race with the quadruple teams of galloping horses, combined with the picturesque scenes representing the appearance of the star to the wise men in the desert, the moonlit lake in the Orchard of Palms, where Ben Hur and Iras make love while drifting in, the barge of the fair Egyptian, the palm-waving worshipers on the Mt. of Olives, simply captivate the great audiences that are nightly in attendance wherever it is being enacted. As now arranged and staged by Klaw & Erlanger, the public sees a great spectacle which appeals not merely on the strength of its dramachariot race, the scene, which coupled with the popularity of General Wallace's book, gave the play it enormous vogue, eight horses, aided by the most intricate mechanism, produce the prodigious illusion of the struggle for supremacy in the arena of the Circus of Antioch. Edgar Stillman Kelley’s brilliant musical score, which so heightens the dignity and' solemnity of the Biblical narrative. and was one of the most potent factors tn its success, is made a dominant feature of the present production, being interpreted by a special orchestra and chorus carried by the company for that purpose. Seats for “Ben Hur” will be placed on sale at the Majestic theater box office Monday morning, April 24th. It is advisable for persons who intend visiting Fort Wayne to see this great spectacle to reserve seats at once by mail. The management of the Majestic theater announces that special attention will be given to all mail orders. Prices will range from 50c to $2.00. -o • - FOR SALE —Favorite hard coal burn-’ er, size 16; Inquire 345 So. Third street, Decatur, Ind. Good as new. 83t6 PUBLIC SALE.
