Hats or in the Synagogue.

The vexed question of chats on" or
chats Off during public worship was
settled at the annual meeting OF the
Anshe Chesed congregation, at the tenn
pie on Scoville avenue. The old Jewish
custom of the male members of the con-
gregation wearing their hats during
public worship has always been in vogue
In this congregation. A number of the
younger and more progressive members
have objected to the custom, and 1t has
caused more or less discussion for several
years. The older members held tena-
ciously to their hats, and the younger
ones bided their time until they should
have sufficient majority converted to
their views to change the custom.
The matter was brought up at the an
nual meeting. which was very largely
attended. The hat question was dis
cussed at great length. and several very
warm speeches were made on both sides.
1t was finally put to a vote, and the
members who are opposed to wearing
hats were victorious by decided ma
jority. The decision was that hereafter
the congregation shall worship with hats
off, but those who desire to retain their
head covering will be permitted to do
so.-Cleveland Leader and Herald.

ADJUSTMENTS.
MAUD GRANGER COMING.

Maud Changers business manager Frank
c. Thayer. former New York journalist
arrived in the the city yesterday, and reg
fstered at the Carey, where he will visit
for few days.
Last evening he made pleasant call at
The EAGLE office and gave glowing ac-
counts of the lustrous-eyed Maude's sue
cessful trip, and the latest theatrical news
in general
"Haye YOU visited Wichita before" the
scribe asked the audience organizer for
Miss Granger.
"Why. to me your city is like home" he
replied, and the genial Frank told the fol-
lowing of his former visit:
"Three years ago happened to be pass
ing through Wichita in the interest OF
New York journal, when / met some old
acouaintances who induced me to stay
few months. AS the big boom
was then causing considerable excitement,
] stayed. One of my memorable expert
ences was the business management for an
amateur theatrical club-ln the produc-
ton of 'The Honeymoon" at the Garfield
opera house. Later | left the city with
Fred Dixon, George Paxton and several
other professionals who bad banded
together and got up a company to travel
east
We had very successful trip, closing in
St. Louis. Since then / have spent consid-
cradle time among the West India islands
and South America.
Miss Granger's season has been phenom-
enally successful, and she draws very
stylish and elite audiences everywhere.
The fair Maude has always been consid-
cred an authority on dress, and that natur-
ally excites the fair sex. She does wear
some beautiful costumes in all her plays.
At the Christmas Day matinee she will
appear in her favorite and most successful
play, Inherited" At the evening per-
sormance she will present Alexander
Dumas famous emotional play, Camille"
Our theater goers have not had so very
much offered them this season in the line
of attractions, and Miss Granger will, with
out doubt, be well repaid for coming to
Wichita for her Christmas turkey.

A Turtles Nest.

In the town Of Patten, place distans
from tidewater over ninety miles, there
Is great curiosity, known as the "tur-
lies nest" For fifty-two years turtle
mas come annually to the nest 10 deposit
her eggs. Over half century ago she
selected her nest, then in an open field,
but now in yard in front OF resi-
ience. A relative of the owner of the
house branded the date 1S41 upon the
turtles back, and it can be plainly
traced now. She comes about the same
date each year, and her first few days
are passed in inspecting the ancient
nest, the yard and surroundings.
Later she digs hole IN the ground
and there deposits her eggs. This year
she left forty-two eggs, but as many
were carried away and the others often
disturbed, only about dozen OF the
eggs Matched out. The owner of the
house has ten of the little turtles, none
more than twice the size of postage
stamp. The old turtle always departs
after laying the eggs: the warm sand
and sun serve as an incubator.
This turtle has been seen at the Drew
Dead Water on the Mattawamkeag
river, fully fifty miles away from the
nest. Her weight varies from thirty to
thirty-fve pounds, and it is said she was
as large when branded as she is now.
Each June she comes to Patten, and Is
always welcomed by old and young

THE MENDED VASE.

beautiful, delicate, fragile vase.
The fruit Of mold that was quaint and olden;
It flashed with the charm OF a subtle grace,
And cleaned with light that was rich and
golden.
A laundering hand and careless blow.
And the fragile form is crushed and shat
tered;
Its charm and its graces are lying low,
In thousand fragments scattered.
And never again while the world shall stand
Can the wrong of that reckless blow be
righted;
All! never, not cen by an artists hand,
Can the scattered fragments be united.
Go, paste them into their former shape,
The scars on the surface will still show traces,
And unioined edges will stand agape
Where once stood countless graces.
And what is my life but crystal vase
That an awkward blow has shattered and
broken?
Its former beauty no touch may retrace,
And its wreck of its richness is only a token
The pieces are fitted together again,
But the tone and the color are all unblended;
feel with the pang of a nameless pain,
1t is only a vase that is mended.

Taken Inwardly.

It has just been demonstrated that
complexion powders are not all CON-
pounded of dangerous poisons. A little
girl was told to go TO the grocers and
get box of baking powder and give ii
to the cook on her return.
The child had just two ideas in her
head when she reached the grocery. One
was powder" the other 1.-The cook"
What kind of powder do you WANT
asked the grocer. who had different
brands of baking powder.
The kind mamma puts on her face, y
said the innocent child.
I'VE don't keep it. Go across to the
drug storeif that's the stuff you're after. >
Thecook was a green hand who opened
the box, with head in muddle, and emp
tied half its contents into the batch OF
biscuit she was making.
1t was when they had eaten the bis
cults, which were heavy as lead. that the
mistress inquired into the merits of the
new supply of baking powder, and was
shown the box which held what was
left.
1t didn't XIII anybody, and was an,
other argument in favor of the com

The Smallest snake.

J. G. Couch, who lives mile south or
Fox Postofice, has brought as what Is
probably the smallest snake ever cap
tured in Ray county. 1t was caught
about two weeks ago by his stepson,
Theodore Jackson, and is of the black
snake species. 1t is only three inches in
length, and at the thickest part of its
body is only three-sixteenths of an inch
in circumference. 1t is perfectly form
ed reptile, but with an extra large head.
Mr.. jackson accidentally killed it by
splitting few drops of petroleum on 1t.
This snake could not teach school or
plow corn like some of his kinsmen
found in Colonel Jim Denton's neighbor-
hood, but Mr.. Jackson is just as proud
of his find as the colonel ever was over
any Of his discoveries. Richmond (Mo.)

recital The program to be produced will
be an entirely different one from that
which was given on Thanksgiving even
ing. By request, however. few of the
very dainty and spicy gems which were so
much appreciated then will be repeated.
Wagner will not be forgotten and we are
promised the lovely bridal chorus and the
great finale from ''Lohengrin," which in
cludes the prayer and chorus Of priests
AS mentioned before, Mascagni's wonder
full "Cavelleria Rusticana," the rage of
Europe and New York just now, will be
repeated in the program. Two well known
cvertures, prelude and popular selec-
ton from Rossini will constitute the bal
ance of the instrumental numbers. Mrs.
A. g. Walden will be the vocalist and will
sing an entirely different class of music
than that in which she has heretofore
been heard in since her return from Eu-
rope. Her presence will tend to make the
concert the most attractive that has yet
been given in Wichita this season, and a

As stated in the Eagles mention of the
incident referred to in the foregoing, the
dog in question showed no signs of the

vent the fatal consequences to the bitten
child of the dogs going mad hereafter, q
