ELECTRIC LIGHTS FORCEHTERVILLE Citizens Hold Meeting to See If Lights Can Be Secured for the Town.

(Palladium Special) CENTER VI LLE, Ind., Dec. 19 It was an enthusiastic meeting held in the town hall here Tuesday. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways and means to secure electric lighting for the town. The result of the meeting was that members of the town board of trustees, William Dynes and A. B. Dunbar, and John F. Dynes, Mark A. Stevens and .John Nixon, representing the citizens were appointed as a committee to investigate the matter and to report. The committee was instructed to retain a competent engineer to make estimates on the cost of securing lighting. It is the idea of local citizens, either to purchase current from the Municipal Electric lighting and Power plant of Richmond, the Light, Heat and Power plant of Richmond, or the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company. )

f OUR MOTHER TONGUE. An Expressive Sentence In Which It Was Badly Twisted. The professor of English, who was taking a vacation trip on horseback through the hills, had occasion to make notes of a good many quaint and interesting expressions employed by the sturdy mountaineers. The one that pleased blm most was a striking use of the little word "but." The party had ridden for hours and had not found a single Inn. They were hungry, and one of the guides suggested that it might be possible to get a bite to eat at one of the mountaineers' huts. "I know you can get corn bread there," he said. The professor volunteered to go with the guide to a hut high upon the mountain side in quest of the corn bread. A dilapidated garden fence surrounded the hut, and when the gate squeaked on its hinges a dog began barking. Simultaneously a fat woman edged her way through the door and approached the men at the gate. "What d yo-all want?" she called. "Madam," said the professor, "would you be so kind as to tell us whether we can get any corn bread here?" "Corn bread!" "Yes. corn bread." he repeated. "We'd like to buy some of you if you have any." "Corn bread? Com bread, did yo' say?" Then she chuckled to herself, and her manner grew more amiable. "Why, if corn bread's all yo want, come right in. for that's just what I hain't got nothing else on hand but." Boston Herald.

The Murrette. Snow, sleet and slush, did not prove to be an opposition strong enough to keep Murrette patrons from witnessing the much heralded Civil War photo-play entitled, "Blood Will Tell," as the theater was well filled both afternoon and evening. Those who attended saw a truly Kay-Bee masterpiece. And many tear-stained cheeks were noticeable. And when a motion picture brings tears to the eyes it is indeed a most convincing indorsement as to the finished acting and scenic effects. For today, the feature picture is of a nature never before shown at this theater. It is a detective story entitled, "A Clue In The Dust," from the studio of the famous Majestic Co. The dramatic situations are thrilling and the scenic equipment in keeping with the story. Other excellent subjects are, "Brains Vs. Brawn" Comedy, and "A Romance of the U. S. Navy," Drama. A three reel masterpiece entitled "Vengeance of Egypt," is scheduled for Friday. The Arcade. "The Mills of the Gods," the picture dramatization of the well known novel

Instead she fled at 3 o'clock in the : morning in an automobile taking with , her a box of cash. Meyers says he knows the name of the driver of the I car. The body of a woman sent from I Chicago, was put in the house before ' the fire occurred, according to the I story, so that it might appear that Mrs. Gunness had been killed.

SINGSONG GIRLS.

They Ara to China What the Geishas Are to Japan. "Singsong" girls of China are first cousins to the geishas of Japan. These young ladies vary in age from sixteen to thirty and are chosen for their physical and their artistic attractiveness. The singsong girls are habited in coat and trousers of the finest silk, satin or brocade. The former is cut very much In the style of a French ouvrier's blouse, and the latter are cylindrical, falling to the ankles and disclosing the finest silk hosiery and the daintiest embroidered shoes. At an understood interval one of the singsong girls comes forward to play an instrumental solo. It is more or less a fantasia on two notes, the pitch lying at about E in the treble clef, with squeaky high excursions. No sheet of music is unfolded, the Chinese professional singer being expected to know the words as well as the music of at least 500 ballads. There are sure to be solos, duets and trios, and here the male orchestra comes in with fine enthusiasm in accompanying the singers. Sometimes there is a tremendous racket in the midst of a most pathetic episode, which prevents you entirely from gathering the meaning of the song. But custom has sanctioned these outbreaks, which are understood of the Celestials, though it is certain no western star singer would put up with them at any price. Chicago News. A CIGAR GIFT IS IN GOOD TASTE. You will surely agree with us that a box of cigars as a remembrance is always in good teste. If, therefore.you are thinking of sending something to your friends at Christmas what can be more acceptable than a box of good cigars?
