Social—Henry Krueckeberg home A FRIEND IS A FRIEND Probably the best definition of "a friend” is one that Judge George Alden, the Chautauqua lecturer of last Saturday, gave to illustrate a point, being that given by a little school boy, to his teacher: "A friend is one that knows all about you—and is still your friend.” The little boy spoke truer than he knew. A real friend is one who is "knowing" When a person is not a friend he is one who "does not know,” or who judges from his own little perspective of distortion, based on public opinion, hearsay or gossip, not what he really "knows.’’ Each lecture, each play, each musical number given during the Chautauqua feast, contains many seed-thoughts that in the studious mind, will ripen forth into a rich harvest of lesson during the coming weeks. Then, the thing is to apply it to practical, everyday life. "Know the people about yon; understand them; and you will be a friend to all mankind.” After all, as the poet says, "There's so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it doesn't behoove the most of us. to say much about the rest of us.” So really "know” the people about you, and you must have the feeling of friendship for all. What is better, when your are once a friend, you will always be a friend, having that true understanding. that does not change with every whip-stitch. The German Reformed Ladies' Ai l society will meet Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Ernst Schlickman, instead of Wednesday afternoon, on account oi the Chautauqua. The wedding of Monno Habegger and Miss Lydia Lehman was announced Sunday from the Mennonit - church- The ceremony was performed Sunday afternoon at l:3o p. m. at the heme of the groom's father Abr.

WIND WRECKS BARN Large Structure on Jas. H Urich Farm Near Monroe Carried to Road. FALLS IN FRAGMENTS Ernst Busche Barn Unroofed—Other Buildings Demolished . The severe wind storm, accompanied with a heavy rain and electrical display Monday night, did much damage in unrooting a number of buildings near Monroe. The large barn. 20x28 feet, belonging to James H. Vrich, a quarter mile north of Monroe, was totally wrecked by the wind about 10:30 o'clock Monday night. The building was seemingly picked up by the winfi and carried out to the road, where it was let fall in a shower of fragments. An automobile housed in the barn < scajiel without damage other than a broken light. There was little else of consequence in the barn, hence the damage was done to the building alone, amounting to about S3OO. A little west of this place, small buildings on the Charles Johnloz farm were unroofed, and a mile east the barn of Ernest Busche was unroofed. COURT HOUSE NEWS.

Who Mr. Kryl Is (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) '•Before I left my home," said Mr. Kryl, "I had played with many different bands. 1 had a band of my own, in fact, and in the meantime 1 had learned to play the cornet. I played in Indianapolis during Mr. Sousa's engagement and he did me the honor to ask for an introduction after the concert. He asked me to join his band, which I did. and I remained two seasons with him as cornet soloist. "And then?" I questioned. "I organized a band of my own.” was the reply. "That was nine years ago and 1 have played all over this country—at Denver, Chicago, all through the east, from Maine to fornia‘‘And how did you happen to become identified with the Chautauqua work ” 1 asked. f "Because it furnishes the best and most cultured audiences and because the work is more satisfactory than any other,” said Mr- Kryl. "I shall play with the Chautauqua until 1915, and then I shall return to Bohemia, where a great festival is to be held and hundreds of Bohemians from all over the world will be there. I shall carry my own band.” "You haven't heard really of the best part of my musical life." Mr. Kryl continued, in a very charming way. "I have two daughters, one r.ged fourteen and the other, sixteen, of whom I am very proud, rtne is a pianist and the other a violinist Out of a hundred performers, my little fourteen-yeai-old daughter has been selected to play this month with the Thomas orchestra in Chicago. She is a wonderful musician." ‘ And the other." he said, repeating after me. "had the distinction when Seinentini, the great violin leader, announced that a free scholarship in the < hicago Musical college would (»> given to the most talented performer, of being chosen out of sixty-three applicants. She played a Sarasate composition am) Sementini told me afterward that when she had played the < pening bars, he know that no one else stood a show. the great musical critic, by the way, was one of the judges. We chatted about many of our favorites—bandmasters, pianists, violinists and <omposers. I asked Mr. Kryl if he had any time to devote to sition“I'm too busy with my band for that," said he, "besides I don’t believe in trying to everything. One thing done well is better than a dozen half done.” “Maybe some day you will write some operas as Mj - - Sousa has done.” I suggested "Perhaps, who knows?" said ho, questioning)?. At present. I'm too 1 busy to even tliink of such things.” "What, in your opinion, is the great- , est reiniisite the successful musician I must possess?" "A love of it,” aid Mr. Kryl. "A person who has to be made to practice and who must be forced to lis- - ton to music, can never hojie to make | anything of himself as a musician. I : love every form of music except what ; they call the popular music. Os course I have to play it betause mv • audiences demand, it, but it hurts me. Sometimes my heart rebels against it. "Fve heard that you have a very i fine art gallery in your handsome ' ( hicago home.” I observed. "It is a great pleasure to me," said I Mr. Krvl "Somehow I never tan pass I a beautiful painting but I must have i it, if ft can be bought. I have some masterpieces, a wonderful Brozik the greatest Bohemian artist, by the way, who ever lived 1 also have a portrait of myself, done by Mucha, who has done a marvelous portrait of Madame Bernhardt. 1 have about 24 handsome paintings that I'm very proud of. Si ulpture, painting and music arc the three graces that go hand In hand and my love for one is as great as the other " Big Berne Delegation. Among the large audience hearing l the Kry! concert ln-t evening was ,i , large delegation of Berne music lov i era- It 1b said that fifty automobiles filled with Berne people came up last evening. *’ - -- <— ——— CITY PROPERTY BARGAINS. 6 room house on West Madtton nt., s9.’>o, Small Payment down.

When You Paint It Pays To Use The Best HOOSIER PAINT is absolutely 100 per cent pure. It spreads farther, covers better, lasts longer and is therefore cheaper in the end than the so called cheap paint. It is not the price per gallon that should interest you but the price for the job or per year for the time it wears. Use Hoosier Paint. CALLOW & RICE druggists I Decatur, Ind.
