out for hours. At six o'clock mother
came softly into my room and started

Seeing me awake, she said father had

Must | go into all the details? Can
not you imagine what followed? In
fancy, don't you see me all through that
long Sunday, with the wind bowling
like host of demons and the snow
blowing and banking up all around the
house, Juggling in dozen scuttles of
coal from the shed at the foot of the
garden; carrying in something like
four cords of wood to keep half a dozen
fires going; shoveling paths to the
pump, the woodshed. the barn, the
front gate, the back gate, the side gate

eff you have ever gone around the
head of Lake Michigan on the train
you may have noticed that at a village
called Porter there is often quite per-
ceptible change in climate. At that
point you swing from the west to the
east side of the lake. You may leave
Chicago in balmy spring and on the
same trip of an hour or two pass Por
ter in winter that would be no dis
grace to Dakota. And that's just what
happened to me. Nothing finer in the
way of weather could have been wished
than the brand that waited me from
Chicago Saturday, but we hadn't been
around the point at Porter half an
hour before | was conscious of dis
turbing element to my dreams. At
first | could not account for it, Then
L noticed that it was showing briskly.
Ten mile farther on the train was run
ming heavily through drifts of consid-
cradle depth. We were not making
schedule time, and as we plowed along
there was more than suspicion that
| might spend the night in a snow bank
miles from any town or village.
when / reached my old town the
train was more than an hour late, the
mercury had fallen below zero, and
stepped into the teeth of blizzard that
almost carried me off my feet looked
around for street car, and then re-
membered | was not in Chicago. The
sole cab had been retired from service
at the beginning of the storm; so l set
out to walk the half mile between the
station and the old homestead. Let us
pass over that tramp, merely remark
ing that the last trace of my pleasant
dreams of anticipation had vanished
long before l pounded the old familiar
knocker on the front door of my faith
ers house.
My welcome there was all | could
have wished, and | soon forgot the
trials of the journey. There was the
big coal stove roaring like blast fur
mace, and in every room in the house
wood fire was burning. The apples
and cider were promptly placed before
me, and we settled down to an old-time
chat. At ten o'clock my good old
mother took small lamp and led the
way to the spare room, in which a fire
had been lighted after my arrival Here
everything was coy also, and as warm
as toast. The bed, with its big feather
ticks, looked like giant snow bank
over against the wall. There was
plenty of wood in box behind the
stove, and mother suggested that it
would be a good idea for me to get up
once in awhile through the night and
replenish the fire.
1T must have been after three o'clock
in the morning when l awoke. The
room was colder than Greenland. De-

injury of Mrs Wisenbaugh.

and in endeavoring to extinguish the
flames was badly burned about the

New Pipe Organ Dedicated.

The pipe organ for which the mem
bers of the German Evangelical church
have so arduousiy and earnestly worked
received fitting dedication Sunday eve
ming. The church proved to be much
too small to accommodate the vast
crowd that gathered to hear for the
first time those stirring peals of music
As many as could secured seats, while
others stood during the entire service
but many were compelled to turn back
Prof. Frank, presiding over the or
drous powers of the instrument. By a
judicious and intDitive manipulation OF
its keys and parts, music most sweet
and mellow, as we'll as the most forci-
BILE, can be exacted from it.
Following the voluntary and invoca.
tion by Rev. Weiss, the audience joined
in the singing of the old hymn, "Holy
Holy, Holy
Rev. Mckenzie offered prayer. The
scripture lesson was read by Rev. De-
Long and the combined choirs of the
Presbyterian and Methodist churches
sang as an anthem "Praise Ye the
Father" by Gounod.
Rev. Thornberry delivered the adj
dress, which was beautiful symb d.
ization of human affairs in that grand
piece of mech8nism-the organ.
Rev. Hartman made g. few very ap-
prOpriate and fitting remarks, after
which Rev. Weiss expressed his thanks
to the audience and others for their at
tendance and assistance in the enter
prise.
The services closed with an anthem

In order that the alleged estate may be

that there is man in Spanish dun

The Epworth League May Festival
will be of unusual interest this year.
Instead of having the entertainments
all in one week as heretofore they will
be distributed through an entire month.
Three unusually strong men have been
secured for the lectures, and an excel
lent musical program will be rendered
in connection with each lecture.
DIR. Edwin a. Schell, formerly cores
ponding secretary of the Epworth
League, will open the series this
evening, April q. Dr. Schell has
won fame everywhere as a preacher,
lecturer and platform speaker He has
addressed more great bodies than any
man of his age in the Methodist church.
His lectures are characterized by the
choicest rhetoric and by frequent and
lofty climaxes. He will lecture to US
on "The New Generation" and no young
man or young woman can afford to
| miss it.
DR.. w. A. Quayle, pastor of Meridian
Street Methodist church, Indianapolis,
will lecture Tuesday evening, May 10,
on "Abraham Lincoln, the First Amer
icsn." DIR. Quayle is beyond doubt
without a superior on the lecture plat
form. Mr.. j. L. Bristow, Asst. Post
Master General says: 81 have known
DIR. Quayle for fifteen years. / regard
him as one of the most brilliant plat
form orators in America, and as word
painter l have never heard his equal"
DR.. Gunsaulus says, al had the great
pleasure of listening to DR.. Quayle. He
is certainly one of the finest lecturers l
have heard in recent years. His lecture
was scholarly, eloquent and very effec-
tive" If DIR. Quayle does not deliver
the greatest lecture ever given in Plym-
outh we shall be greatly disappointed.
DR.. w. r. Halstead, of Frankfort,
will lecture Friday evening. May 18th.
This lecture will be philosophical, prac-
ticsl and humorous, and possibly the
most enjoyable of the three.
Tickets will be sold for the three en-
tertainments for 80 cents. All should
avail themselves of this rare oppOrtun-
ity to hear three great lectures and en-
JOY three excellent musical programs
for so small an amount.
Tickets will be in the hands of can
vassers for the next few days and also
on sale at Ill. A. Shambaugh's shoe
store.
