It is understood that Green was arrested in Lancaster a few days ago on a charge of horse stealing and given a Jail sentence. After his release be will be returned to Michigan City to serve the balance of his pen!-, tentlary term. Green, who was a prosperous farmer and stood well in the community, carried on horse stealing operations for some time on a rather extensive scale before detection. He was arrested at Indianapolis about three years ago, leading two stolen horses down the street. He was taking the horses to the railroad yards to have them, shipped to Chicago.
Following his arrest he confessed, and was sentenced to a term of from one to fourteen years In the Michigan City prison. At the prison Green soon became a trusty. He betrayed his trust, however, and at an opportune moment made his escape, May 28, 1909. Several weeks later he was heard of in Ohio, where he had been arrested. In a desperate fight with the Jailer he managed to escape again, and, although pursued by the authorities through two or three Ohio counties, he was not caught In the pursuit Green swam a river twice and was several times on the verge of capture. Since then no word has been received from him until today. Oreen owned 4 fine farm of about one hundred and fifty acres, was married and a member of a good family. He was director in the Waynetown bank, and took an active part in church work. Since he has been a fugitive from justice Mrs. Green has obtained a divorce and has married again.

Most parents imagine that because their children do not of their own accord practice several hours dally on the violin it betrays a lack of talent for the violin and & distaste for music. Nothing could be further from the truth. The average boy does not wish to do anything but play. He would not wash hip face or hands or go to school unless compelled to do so. He must be constantly urged to practice, except in rare instances. This urging and nagging at their children to get them to practice is the price parents have to pay to educate their children in music. Take the average child apd his violin lessons; at first he is in the seventh heaven of delight at putting under his chin the little red or yellow violin, with its hriltlant varnish and gay tones, and vows he frill never tire of it In a few weelu, however, his eagerness sensibly abates. He finds that instead of the silvery ripples of sound which his teacher makes, his own efforts are more suggestive of a lone oat on a back-yard fence with a bad case of colic. He also find* that violin practice has much of tedious drudgery In it His parents become discouraged, thinking that the child is lacking in talent for music. .My own experience is that a great disinclination to practice and even indifference to music is not incompatible with musical talent of the highest order.— Exchange. ■ ■ S I wish to announce to the public that I am now prepared to take bus calls. 1 have made arrangements with Barnes’ Restaurant, phone 432, or i«ek*s hitch barn, phone S4l, to take my bus' cells.
