Quite a large crowd of skaters were seen on the St. Mary’s river yesterday, some playing polo, others merely skating back and forth. The ice is some rough, but the boys enjoyed it anyway. Reporters and telephone operators are not the only ones remembered on their routes or by their patrons on Christmas and New Year’s. Many of the rural mail carriers find gifts of candies, cakes, apples, other fruits, sausage and fresh meat in the mail boxes, as gifts to them.

D., while carrying a bucket of coal to the 1 school house, slipped on the icy walk, fell and broke his left arm. It will i be remembered that he met with a similar accident last year, at that time breaking his right arm. —Monroe t Reporter. Charles E. Wright, deputy superin- , tendent of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, who has had temporary charge of the local office since Loyal Woods resigned, has turned the company’s business over to Mr. Woods’ successor, Jesse M. Kelly. Mr. ’ Wright is returning to Fort Wayne today, and in leaving Decatur he desires to thank the friends of the Metropolitan and the public for the kind nesses shown him during his sojourn in the city. In the January American Magazine appears a new story entitled “Hempfield,” by David Grayson, author of “The Friendly Road.” Following is a little extract: “It is one of the absurd contrarities of human nature that no sooner do we decide that a man is not to be tolerated, that he is a villain, than we begin to get tremen--1 dously interested in him. We want to see how he works. And the mor* deeply we get. interested the more we begin to see hpw human he is, in what a lot of ways he is exactly like us, or like some of the friends we love best —and usually we wind up by liking him, too.” Control of the vessels and self-pro-pelled torpedoes at a distance by means of wireless impulses was successfully demonstrated recently in the ■ presence of officers of the United I States army and navy, by John Hays I Hammond, jr„ whose earlier expert- | ments in this line have previously I been referred to in this magazine. The I boat “Natalit,” built by Mr. HamI mond, was maneuvered around Boston Harbor and out into the open sea as far as Graves Light, a distance of 28 miles, and safely back. There was not a living person on the boat, all of its movements being directed by a single wireless operator stationed at Marblehead, more than twenty njiles away. The January Popular Mechanics Magazine contains some very interesting view’s of the boat and its operator. The response to this suggestion was phenomenal and equallyed only by my own amazement. The press ot the country took the idea up and pushed it heroically. The universal aid which they rendered was a good example of the real patriotism of the ’ unhampered press. Papers and mag- ' azines all over the country, in the north, w.est and east as much as in the south, took up the slogan, Use more cotton,” and helped tp carry it to success. The women of the country, as was to be expected, responded practically en masse. The retailers all over the country advertised their cotton sales, and the reports from them are most gratifying. In many instances the retailer had his stock of cotton, supplies so deplet-, ed after the first sale that he was enabled to at once put in extra orders with the manufacturers. In some instances the club women, society women of the town, constituted themselves floor walkers and general supervisors of the sale. They were ready with information and helpful ; suggestions to the buyers. In one instance the sales enabled a number of retailers to put in such orders as to keep one factory in const fit operation day and night for the ensuing I year—“ The ‘Use More Cotton’ CraI sade,” Genevieve Champ Clark, in | National Mazafiine for December.

WILL BHOW TONIGHT. Given a problem and the right answer, how to work out the correct ■elution —that Is the proposition “Ha Fell in Love With Ufa Wife" present«, H. 8. Sheldon's dramatist lon of E. P. Roe's story, which will be presented at the Bosse opera house tonight, and a more agreeable offering, it would be hard to conceive. A brief outline of what is to follow, should only serve to create a desire to see this delightful romance work ed to a conclusion. James Holcroft, a lonely farmer, whom the servant problem has overcome, meets Alida Armstrong, atKprphan and social out- • cast, whom poverty has engulfed and 1 in ten minutes they are “man and wife"—as business partners—there is • presented the problem. The title of - the play and the summary of each i act set forth in the program, “Parti ners,” “Friends," “Sweethearts"-- • that gives the answer. Those who ■ read the last chapter to see how the I book is coming out, will approve of , the arrangement. Now for the solu ■ tion: The wife, given a home, when when she thougl/ such a tiling was Impossible for her, does her part *o carry out the terms of the contract, , of the business mrfrrlage, serving meals punctually to the second, and generally doing the woman’s work a round the farm house. She does more than the contract calls for: she finds that some decorations on the bare walls of the little home, and some music In the twilight, prove at first a novelty, and later a pleasure, to crowd out the loneliness from the mats heart. And an old lover returning to call away the woman who is responsible for increased income, and thez brightened homestead, brings the head to a realization of the beatings of the heart. To say more, would be a breach of ethics, but to prevent the development of the story from being too simple to be strongly dramatic, the author of the play has introduced other characters who furnish amusement and pathos, so intermingled as to satisfy the auditor. “He Fell in Love With His Wife” will be presented by a strong cast, and will doubtless repeat its Cort, theater, Chicago, success. The United Play company (Inc.) directors. o Mrs. Carlisle, 72, who makes her home with her son-in-law, Mr. Perrin, 329 N. Seventh street, who fell a week or so ago and broke her right hip, is getting along nicely. Mr. Perrin is with the Schafer Saddlery Company and moved here recently from Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. John Magley Sr. will arrive this evening from their home near Leavittsburg, Ohio, to consult a physician regarding Mrs. Magley's health. They moved east about a year ago from Root township where they lived their entire life until that time.
