That was what father said. : '-ift a minute, close to Dorothy’s ear it seemed, another voice spoke. “Hello!” it said pleasantly. "Is this Santa Claus?” asked Doroas much like father as possible.

He isn’t ever, ’cept Sundays and Christmases and Thanksgivings and such days. That’s why I had to ask you. There isn’t any one in tho bdSbe ’cept Rhoda and Sofia. Sofia’s so old she’s deaf. You aren’t deaf yet, are you, Santa Claus?” "Not yet,” laughed the voice. "‘T can hear you quite well. Go on.” ■ "Sofia takes care of the house and father, and Rhoda takes care ofme. But they don’t understand about Evelyn, and tomorrow, when father ’ll be here, it will be too late, ’cause tomorrow’s Christmas, And you must give Christmas gifts on Christmas, mustn’t you?’ "Yes,” said the voice.

And the doctor says she must have fruit and nice things to eat And she can’t you see, because Rhoda says it took every cent there was saved to pay up the dootor.” "Where does Evelyn live?” “It’s 22 Monroe street. I’ve been there with Rhoda. And it’s up ever aud ever so many stairs. I don’t know how you’ll ever get there. Are you so very stouts” "Not so very. I climb stairs yet quite easily.” “I knew you’d help if you only knew about it!” cried Dorothy. “What does Evelyn need most besides the nice things to eat?*’ “She needs most everything,” said Dorothy. “I bought her a Teddy bear with my own money.

The Adams County Horse Thief Detective association held one of the most interesting meetings since the organization of the association in the Grand Army hall on Saturday, December 17th. The fact that a goodly number were present is appreciated by all. These meetings are becoming quite popular and every member should take special notice of the, next meeting date, Saturday, January 21, 1911. A special meeting is called for this date and a good program has been arranged for same. Arrangements for good talks have been made, titles of subjects and names of speakers to be given later. The report by the delegate to the national convention' given at the last meeting and found interesting as well as instructive. Remember the date of the next special meeting and arrange so as to be present at same. . > -a The joint Institute of the teachers of* French and Hartford townships held at Linn Grove Saturday was a most interesting one. Howard Wisehaupt of this city presided and the program given was simply fine. Professor Beck, principal of the Linn Grove school, conducted the opening exercise. Miss Pontius and Mr. Gates gave many helpful notes and suggestions on “How to Study.” Mr. Runyon spoke on “The Elm Leaf Beetle.” Clark: Spahr and Miss Jessie Stauffer discussed extensively Chapters twen-ty-six, and twenty-seven of “Civics and Health.” It was fine. Howard Wisehaupt favored the institute with a Dutch monologue, “Vos Bender Henpecked?” which was highly appreciated. The afternoon session was equally as interesting, Miss French giving a Model Recitation, by third grade pupils. Mr. Brentlinger talked on “Reviews,” why necessary? Nature? He handled it in an able manner. Ralph Schaupp discussed “Letters and Art in Ind.” The query box was in charge of Mr. Hornedy and was interesting. Miss Beitfer gave an interesting reading, “Bob’s Lament” -.— —e — Rev. Imler, pastor of the United Brethren church, this city, returned home Monday from Wren, Ohio, where he assisted at tfie service, which were held at that place Sunday when the new United.

Ballinger, pastor of the First United Brethren church of Lima, Ohio, who was secured to officiate at the dedication. service. This service was mostly a business assemblage and over eighteen hundred dollars were raised to go toward the building fund. The afternoon service was in charge of Rev. Imler of this city, who handled his part of the program in a very able manner. The evening services, which was the principal one of the day, was when the church was dedicated, and a throng of people who filled the edifices to the doors, wbre on hand to witness the ceremony. The church is a beauty, and outside the city churcih ls the finest in Van Wert county. Enough money has already been secured to more than pay all building expenses, which certainly is a credit to the pastor and congregation. Other visiting Aihistera were the Rev. Abbott of Craigville and Rev. Bucher of Van Wert, Ohio. ■»- - o —: — - Postmaster Lower has letters rer maining uncalled for at the postoffice for William Cohill, Samuel Witmer, Ottie Syphers, Roxey Syphers, J. B. Steger, L. C.
