Frank Petcher's Wonderful Children


A few months ago photographer
Frank Fletcher moved with his family
and studio to Hebron, Indiana. Not
only do our people miss honest Frank
but his bright and precocious little
Marie and Glen also. 1t was Marie
who played the part of Cinderella in the
Golden Slipper" at the Webster school
building last year The Hebron News
and kauts Banner have the following
good words to say for Glen and Marie:
"The Little Prodigy entertainment
which has been so profusely advertised
for some time, took place at the U. 2.
church Friday evening, and a very at
tentlvs gathering was present to greet
the actors in their different roles.
The entertainment was given by the
Petcher children aged respectively
seven and nine years. Their entertain
ment consisted of songs, declsmations,
dialogues, etc. The children are natural
born elocutIonlsts and all the training
they have had in the elocutionary line
has been given them by their parents.
The children simply learn their words,
get the idea and select their own posings,
which are as nearly perfect as can be
considering their ages. They were
honored with many curtain calls" in
such an enthusiastic and welcome way
that would make an aged actors heart
jump with JOY. Those who were not
there missed feast Of good things and
an evening of rare enjoyment. We
predict for the children bright future.
We feel safe in saying that crowded
house will greet the Petcher children
when they give another entertainment"
At no place in Plymouth will Marie
and Glen be more missed than at the
"Little church around the corner" the
coming Christmas eve. May the good
people of Hebron appreciate Frank
Petcher's honesty as much as they do
his children's genius.

PARIS RAvIsHINa BEAUTY.
Rage for Beauty Makes the French
Capital n Perpetual Picture.

Rage for Beauty Makes the French
!, Capital n Perpetual Picture.
I never dreamed of such clothes even
in my dreams of Heaven. But the
French are an extravagant race. There
was hardly gown worn last season
which was not of the most delicate tex
ture, garnished with chiffon and illu-
sion and tulle-the most crushable,
airy, infammable, unserviceable ma
terial one can think of. Now, am a
utilitarian. When see a white gown
I always wonder if it will wash. If
see lace on the foot ruffle of a gown
1 think how it will sound when the
wearer steps on it going upstairs. But
anything would be serviceable to wear
driving in a victoria in the Bois between
fve and seven, and as that is where
have seen the most beautiful costumes
1 have no right to complain, or to
thrust at them my American ideas of
usefulness. This rage of theirs for
beauty is what makes a perpetual
honeymoon for the eyes of every inch
OF France. The way they study color
and put greens together in their land
scape gardening makes one think with
horror OF our prairies and sagebrush.
The eye is ravished with beauty all
over Paris. The clean streets, the walks
between rows of trees for pedestrians,
the lanes for bicyclists, the paths
through tiny forests, right in Paris.
for equestrians, and on each side the
loveliest trees-trees everywhere ex-
cept where there are fountains = but
what is the use of trying to describe
beauty which has staggered braver
pens than mine, and which you must
see to appreciate LILLIAN Bell, in La

A Thfers Love OF Perfumery Causes
His Capture.
There was one time in my house
keeping career" said the lady who had
had the experience, when 1 thought
there was no use of locking doors, for
thieves would break through anything.
I'VE were sitting at dinner one night
when heard a noise that sounded as il
some one was walking around in nv
room.N I went up Immediately to see.
No one was there, but every drawer in
the room was open and all my jewelry
and valuables of every description that
kept in my room were gone. 1t took
five or six keys to get at them all, as
had been very particular about keep
ing them locked up. 1 had not been
out OF the room more than Is minutes,
and how anyone not familiar with every
inch of the house. could have accom-
plished such a piece of work was a
mystery. There was one thing mo-
ticed upon entering the room and that
was peculiar odor. 1t was like mix
ture of cheap perfume. I had never
smelled anything like it before.
1--WE notified the police and they
worked on the case for weeks, but
could make nothing out of it.
"One day when 1 was passing through
the laundry I noticed that sane strange
odor.
Mary, what's that you are IRON
ing? said 1, for it seemed as if the
odor came from the ironing board.

that the brother was the thief."-De-

PORTLAND, Dec. 23.-At 8:15 O'Clock
this morning car No. IS, eastbound
| and car No. 72, westbound, on the
Mount Tabor division of the City &
Suburban Railway Company's lines,
came into heavy collision on the trestle
over the slough at East Morrison and
East Eighth streets.
All the passengers on both cars
were badly shaken, and those most
severely hurt were Henry w. Pretty
man, muscles of back seriously
wrenched; James Boyles, side hurt,
Miss Octavia q. Drake, severe cut un-
der the shoulder and otherwise bruised.
1t was foggy and frosty morning,
recalling that MOI ming four years ago
when a car of the East Side Railway

with fearful loss of life. The car that
was coming toward town was we'll
loaded. A fair rate of-speed had been
maintained all the way from Mount
Tabor.
From the top of the incline at East
Twelfth street a fast rate of speed was
maintained, the motorman keeping
his gong sounding constantly, SO as to
warn the motorman of any approach
ing car. When almost at the foot of
the incline the other car was heard
coming, and all on the platform ex-
cept the motorman jumped, as col
lision was seen to be inevitable. The
of the other car had already
seen the danger, and reversed his car
and jumped, but before the current
had time to take effect the cars came
together with fearful crash, which
was heard for blocks.

GUNS POPPED
IN HAVANA
Cubans Gave the Span
iards Some Christ
mas Shots.

CHICAGO, Dec. pa special to the
Tribune from Havana says: Christ
mas day was ushered into Havana by
the cracking of revolvers and rattling
volleys from Mauser rifles in an affray
which occurred near the center of the
city between the Spanish troops garri-
soning the city and the Cuban resi-
dents. One Cuban was fatally wound
ed, two others were badly injured and
Spanish soldier was stabbed. A
Cuban negro who received three
wounds made by Mauser bullets and a
bad cut across the forehead, is report
ed to be dying.
The affair was brought about by the
Cubans, who fired from housetop on
a company of soldiers asleep in the
Hotel Roma. The soldiers jumped to
their feet and at once returned the
fire. A company of infantry scaled
low wall on oae side of the building
and hunted over the rooftops for the
individuals who did the firing. They
found negro badly wounded and
carried him down. Other injured
men were carried away by their friends.
The volleyingiof thr Mausers caused
alarm among the Americans, many
fearing the fighting would become
general throughout the city. An
affray on Christmas night between the
Cubans and troops has been prophe-
sled by those who have watched events
of the past few days.

How the Mean Man Managed to Save
His Money.
"Yes, he was a mean man." said a
visitor to a st. Louis host the other
day, according to the Sunday Republic.
"How? Tell me about it," questioned
the host.
"Well, this man I speak of was the
champion stingy man of our country.
He kept good-sized wooden ring in his
pocket, and when he went to the store
to buy eggs he would try every one of
those eggs in the ring. If they were
small enough to go through the ring he
would not take them. He bought moth
ing but large eggs, you see. He believed
in getting everything possible for his
money"
81 never heard of such a thing"
CALCULATED the st. Louis man.
"Of course you didn't" said the Wis
itor. "Nobody else ever heard of such
meanness. Why, he used to give his
children nickel apiece to go to bed
without their suppers. The next morn
ing he would charge them nickel
apiece for their breakfasts. Saving
game, wasn't it."
Say, that's fish storyi" shouted the
st. Louis man, Indignantly.

CAN
NOT AGREE
Opposition to Aguinaldo is
Growing.

MANILA, Dec. PA steamer which
has arrived here from Samar reports
that the Tagal insurgents have been in
possession of Kalbaon since December
ii. Business there is said to be en-.
tirely suspended and all the Spaniards
OF the vicinity have. sought refuge in
the house of man named Scott, an
American.
All efforts to induce the Visayas to
Join the revolution have been fruitless.
The situation here so far as the in
surgents are concerned is serious.
The formation of new cabinet has
been entrusted to a Filipino named
Madi, rampant, irreconcilable of un-
known anticedents and a bitter OPP
ponent OF Aguinaldo, especially on the
question of Spanish prisoners.
1t is reported that Aguinaldo refused
to release their prisoners, although the
cabinet decided to accede to the re-
quest of General Otis for their release.
1t is rumore' that Aguinaldo has
fed to an inaccessible region back of
Cavite with few followers fearing as
sasination.
An expedition Commanded by
General Miller has left here for Iloilo.
