PROMISING YOUTH OF A FEW YEARS AGO

Story of Downfall of Billy Rowan, Once Wealthy, Now a Wreck From Use of Dr^gg. William Rowan, who was* employed in a livery barn at Winamac, was last week taken to the asylum. It is said that he had been a steady user of morphine and opium for thirty years. Tuesday night of last wrecked the furniture in the office of the barn where he slept. After breaking up the chairs and the bed he tore -the (bedclothes into pieces and then poked'his head through the window, breaking the glass and badly cutting his face! He was found on the floor in an unconscious condition but soon revived and started to fight and curse and it required several men to overpower him. The Winamac DemocratJoumal mentions the ease as follows: To the old-time residents of Wiifamac the case seems particularly pitiful. Forty years ago “Billy” Rowan was a 'promising young man, the owner of a fortune variously estimated at from $50,000 to $75,000. He was a son of the late Henry P. Rowan, one of the pioneer merchants of this place. At the death of his father, Billy began the task of getting ijd of his share of the fortune which his father had piled up for him. In a few years he had squandered his money and was on the downward and later on he became a dope fiend of a pronounced type. For the past ten or twelve years he has worked around livery barns, oi at whatever else he could find to do, resorting at times even to begging to procure money with which to procure a supply of his favorite drugs. Those wShqJsttfiw young Rowan in the old days, would scarcely recognize the white haired, shriveled up wreck of a man who was carried to the mad house last Wednesday, probably never to return alive. In his palmy days it is related that Rowan was accustomed to light his cigars with $5 bills, and was known to have on several .occasions hired special trains and brass bands, with a colored valet, to accompany him and his convivial friends about the country on their wijd escapades.”

“The Rosary.”

Every 'woman thinks she knows how to tpep alive the love of her husband, Wonder if the girts in this city know that art? Sometimes it is said they don’t. At any rate, they will know after they witness a performance of “The Rosary,” which is coming to the Ellis Theatre Thursday, Jan. 15th. In “The Rosary” there are three distinct love stories, t The principal love affair Is that of Bruce and Vera Tilton. This husband and wife love each other with their whole hearts. She is a devout woman, but he Is a born atheist Befog a man Of such business interests, Mr. Tilton neglects his home, and Vera resorts to the green-eyed monster to bring her husband her. She begins a flirtation with a man - named Kensard Wright. Circumstances bring Mr. Wright to the Tilton home, where he falls in love with Vera’s sister, Alice. One night, when he and Alice had arranged for a secret elopment, Vera, entemg the room as the couple are leavng through an open wndow, is discovered by her husband. The result is two broken hearts. Therefore, jealousy is an evil, and not an advisable way of keeping a man interested. The second love story is between Kathleen O’Connor and Charley Harrow, Kathleen is a little Dish girl, who believes that the man she will marry must know the Irish history thoroughly. Charley knows nothing of Irish history, so Kathleen uses the simplest of language, dress and actions. Charley is attracted to her by her simpleness, so it is shown that the simplest truth attracts the man of the world and keepsrhim interested. In the love story between Lesura and Skeeters. the audience finds that opposition to a man's vanity makes him only the more interested in the pursuit of the one thing upon which he prides himself greater than all else. During the scenes Skeeters is very proud of his ability to tell stories, but it isn’t until after an orignal system is employed that Skeeters succeeds in getting Lesura to laugh. All of this love is in ‘The Rosary,” and with a competent cast presenting it, the play is worth attendn^.

The Grateful Heron.

An Indian boy named, Shastas lived In the far Northwest. He was an orphan and lived with his grandmother. He "had inafiy elder brothers and uncles but his grandmother was the only one of the family who took care of him and none- would give him food except the wife of the youngest uncle, who used to carry the hoy things to eaj by stealth. When he was old enough he made a bow for himself and went out hunting birds. With these and the berries that the grandmother picked, and the food which was brought to the hut from time to time by the wife of the youngest uncle, the hoy and the old woman managed to keep from starving, though there was never a great plenty of food in the house. One- ,day, when Shastas was out hunting, he saw a heron sitting on a rock, and the heron had a broken bill. Shastas went up to the heron and asked him why he did' not fish. The heron replied that he could not catch fish with a broken bill, "but," said he, "If some one would only sharpen my bill I would be all right again.” “Oh, I will sharpen your bill If that is all that is the matter,” said the boy. (letting a file, he went to work on the bird’s beak, and soon fixed it up so that it was as good as

ShastaS built several bear traps, new. The heron said never a word until Shastas had finished his job and gone some distance away, then It called after him: “I will help you, grandchild.” Soon after that, the grandmother told the boy how to make big beartraps out of logs, and Shastas went Into the woods and built several. The next morning he went to the nearest one and saw the heron near it. ”1 told you I would help you, grandchild,” said the heron. "I possess magic power and you Will never find ytour beartraps empty.” Sure enough, In the first trap Shastas found a big black bear. He cut the bear up and lugged the meat home. Some of it he cooked and some of It he Bmoked, and Shastas and his grandmother began to live well for the first time.

He Increased the number of beartraps till he Nad ten in all, and every morning the heron would come to the house and cry out: “Good luck, grandchild! There are bears In your traps,” He traded some of his bear meat with people who lived down theriver until he became wealthy. Then he made the house where he lived finer than any of the houses in the nearby village. .The uncles and the older brothers, who lived In the village, knew nothing of this until, one day, the youngest uncle’s wife, fearing that the boy had died from starvation, secretly made a Journey to the house, and found how things had prospered with Shastas. When she went back she spread the news df the boy’s pros-

He went to work on the bird's beak. Perlty, and the rest of the family were ashamed that they had so neglected the boy. “Let us make a visit to Shasta*,” cried they, "and see how much bear meat he fins on hand.” But the boy i mt word Chat only the wife of the youngeat ancle should come to see him. When she came she told him that there was a famine In the village. Game vtk eoaroe and the flab seemed to have deeerted the river. The people ««,
