Rwigember that what entertains you may torture your friends. It frequently happens that there is more enthusiasm than work. If you can't work unless everything goes along like a song, you won’t go far. In mosi small towns are men who could afford a valet, but they lack nerve. A hungry man wonders If a woman living alone ever has a square meal. Some men are so brazen they can go broke without being financially cmharassed. Miss Ida Gilson has gone to Vi.csburg, Mich., and South Bend for a visit with relatives. Otto Wemhoff returned this morning to Fort Wayne after spending Sunday here with his mother, Mrs. Mary Wemhoff. and family. f‘T«ll Us Pretty Ladies,” which will he rendered by a half dozen young ladies and gentlemen, is going to be one of the hits in "Down in Alabam.” Constant Hoffman returned yesterday afternoon to his home at Orrville, Ohio, after a visit with his brother. Fred Hoffman, and other relatives. The music and songs in “Down in , Alabam” are all new, the choruses bright, pretty and catchy, and the comedy which prevails very funny.

Nearly every poor man feels lie could become a captain of industry if he had a little capital to start with.

He is under the care of Miss Lilly Gerard, a trained nurse. “Cuddle Up a Little Closer,” a selection from the opera, the “Three Twins,” introducing the seven ages of cuddling, is one of the dainty numbers in “Down in Alabam.” Mrs. Bertha Baxter and daughter, Ruth, of Fort Wayne spent Sunday here at the home of their brother and uncle, Samuel Shackley.

He has not been getting along very well, however, as the weather, which Is unuhually cold and damp for that place, has been against him. The thermometer has registered as low as zero, and as the houses are not prepared for so cold weather, the people have suffered. Mr. Yost had been confined to his bed but is better now. Attorney J. C. Moran went to Geneva Saturday afternoon and from there Intended to take the interurban to Bluffton. He found that, owing to the snow storm and power trouble, the B.

i AS TO MAUSOLEUMS. i Decatur, Ind„ Jan. 25, 1915, To the People of Decatur and Vlncin- ! ity: I have been aßked by mnny persons . during the past few days, "What is a community mausoleum?” To most of them I have answered in the language | of a person who has investigated many ; of these buildings and wlto gives the I definition thus: “A community mausoleum Is a building built primarily for profit ami incidentally to bury the ’ dead in.” 1 Now it seems the people of this vicinity are anxious to know something . definite about these structures, which have come to be known us storage warehouses for the dead, When it conies to dealing with the most sacred of all human emotions —when it comos to the question of the proper dis|>oßition of our loved ones that have passed away, it brings before us a subject that is of vital importance, and one which should be well studied before making any vital decision. To the people of this vicinity, I will say that I have some knowledge of the promotion and protection of commuity mausoleums, and invite any of you to call at my office where I will he pleased to show you in plain black and white, in cold facts and figures, what I have learned about these tenement warehouses. I may not be able to present the story as impressively as the bereaved husband or wife that has stood in the corridors of a decaying mausoleum and observed the cemetery attendants removing the body of their life partner after but a year or two of occupancy in the decaying crypt —stood by and saw the rottening casket carried from the building to Pb final resting place in a cemetery lot, but I will show you the awful condition of many of these supposed-to-be permanent buildings. I will show you photos of buildings with the roofs caved in. buildings with numerous cracks in the walls, erypts with the marble falling off- floors heaved up in the center, plastering falling off —testimony where the crypts fill with water during a rain, and a recent editorial in one of the leading architectural journals of the country in reference to the building of community mausoleums, in which they end with these wo; Js, “It is not a daring prediction to declare that fifty years will see all of these community structures fallen in ruins, and the gathering of the remains they are supposed to shelter into a common grave.” Considering the fact that the modern community mausoleum proposition is but seven or eight years old, and many of the buildings already showing such deterioration, I think you will agree with me that a proposition of this kind deserves the fullest investigation. Anyway, citizens, I will be i only too glad to explain what I know about these structures to anyone who will call at my office. I have the honor to be connected with that great body of memorial builders of our country, en association that stands for the adornment of the park-like cemeteries of our great country, with structures and memorials of permanent and enduring materials and architecture, but i i which opposes any system of burial j or promotion that is likely to mar the 11

(Advertisement) GREAT REVIVAL Being Conducted at United Brethren Church by the Rev. Harman. MANY ACCESSIONS Renewed Activity is Felt in All Departments of the Church. The Revival services at the United Brethren church conducted by Dr. T. H. Harman and wife, pastor of the local church, still continue with large attendance and increased interest. The house was crowded last night and people were turned away at the beginning of the Christian Endeavor service. A choir of fifty voices assists in the singing each evening. The theme of last night’s sermon was “Where Will You Spend Eternity?” and was another of Dr. Harman’s powerful sermons. There were nine bowed at the altar of prayer, bringing the total number to date up to thirty-two. At the close of the services the door of the church was opened, with twelve accessions. There were three accessions to the church at Union Chapel in the morning services, with others to follow. The services in town will continue eacli evening. Next Sunday will be a special day for men and boys. An effort is being made to have one hundred men and boys in the Sunday school. If you are not a member of any Sunday school an invitation is extended to you. A mass meeting for men and boys will be held in the afternoon at 3 o’clock. The church is looking forward to the organization of an Otterbein Brotherhood at a later date. The “Can and Will” class organized a year ago with a goal of forty in Sunday sciiool, were within two of the mark yesterday, iiaving thirty-eight in class. -o TWO REELS OF THRILLS. Manager Parent, after repeated attempts, has had the good fortune to secure for this evening s hill, a tworeel* Selig entitled “The Dream Girl.” This feature play has been attracting the utmost attention and comment from all the cities it has played in and has caused intense interest.

In addition a Lubin comedy, entitled “Neighborly Neighbors,” will also be given. The price of admission is five dents.
