THE DROUTH IS BROKEN


The drouth that has prevailed in
this section for several ~esks Gas
effectually broken yesterday after
noon by good rain that Waited
every portion ot Ellls county. A
light rain fell steadily most all day
Wednesday and Yesterday morning
there we're indications Of more fair
weather. bur In the afternoon the
rain began descending and at times
the downpour was quite terrific.
Late In the evening the wind veefed
to the north and the rain which fell
during the gale was accompanied by
some hail
A severe wind hail and rainstorm
visited the italy country In the after
noon and dozens of barns. outhouses
and oihe~ buildings were eithei
blown down or blown off the fonn-
dations Also many chimneys and
flues were blown down I'm the town
Of italy There we"e hailstones lar
ger than hen eggs The fall of hail
lasted only about five minutes. but
the ground was covered. Many win
dowglass were broken, the largest
number being broken out oi one
building was the two-story school
building. Almost every glass was
broken and the music room, frame
structure near the brick school build
ing, was blown off its foundation.
This was the most severe hail that
has visited that section since April
80. 1895, when nearly every window
and roof had to be replaced.
Reports from Milford and Lone
Cedar state that much damage was
done to property in those places
The rain came just at time when
It was greatly needed and the farm
ers are very much encouraged over
the outlook They had their land
ready to plant corn and just as soon
as the ground is dry enough the
work of putting the seed in the
ground will be commenced. Some
/ farmers planted corn before the raiI
but the ground was too dry for tht
seed to germinate. 1t Is also be
ilieved that the rain will prove bene

Third of the Prima Donnas to Sing in
the Role in Puccint Opera.

A third version of the title role of Puc-
cinl's opera Madam Butterfly was given
last night at the Newark Theatre, Miss
Elizabeth Wolff, prima donna with a
European reputation, was the songstress
who invited comparison with the interpre-
tation previously put upon Cho-Cho-San by
Miss Rena Vivienne and Mme Phoebe
Strakosch.
The audience liked Miss VOLTS work
immensely. and certainly not without
cause She has a clear, dulcet soprano
Under excellent control and her acting is
pleasing. Though she Is not vocally en-
dowed as is Nine. Strakosch, her voice
lacking the fexibilty of power in tender
and tragic expressiyeness and the richness,
depth and color of that artists, whose
singing has been incomparably the finest
OF the week. and though in appearance and
acting she fitted the character of Butter
fly, not quite so thoroughly as Miss vivi-
enhe. yet she gave a performance that
was wholly praiseworthy and enthusiastic
ally approved by her audience.

In previous performances. Vernon stiles

morrow night, and Miss Wolff Saturday

A PRETTY IDEA.

A number OF pretty gifts were recently
given to girl who was leaving for col

with the favorite satchet. cut roses Then
each girl had her .1teture reproduced on

who will often wish to be with them.

"She is so aggressive, and every re-
mark from her has tinge of sar-
casm, almost shake to pieces with
fear when I am obliged to speak to
her." is the way one woman criticized
another while talking to a mutual
friend the other day.
"Oh I'm sure you are mistaken" I"
replied the other. Miss L. is> not the
least hit sarcastic, and it would annoy
her dreadfully to think that she had
| impressed you so. You really do not
understand her; when you know her
better I'm sure you will think DIFF
lferently"
Perhaps / will, but that's the way I
feel now" replied the first girl, as she
hurried away to join a group of girls
in game of tennis.
I'm afraid poor Helen has made an
enemy" said the other, talking to her
self, "and it's too bad. She does speak
short and sharp sometimes, but she
doesn't mean it, It's her way, and
she's often misunderstood"
There are many of us just as unfor-
tunate, as poor Helen.'' Unless we
smile and look sweet and say pleasant
things whether we mean them or not,
we are very often drawing down the
wrath of some other woman on our
heads.
"She's a crank and has her own ideas
about things" we often hear people
| say.
Well, granted that "she" has her
own ideas, isn't she entitled to them
without ipterference>from anyone else ?
Must "she" change her ideas and
opinions to suit those of others who
very often know little or nothing about
the point at issue and whose ideas
She wouldn't admit were hers for the
world?
It's one thing to be aggressive-and
deliver us from the aggressive woman
but quite another to express an idea
or an opinion and stick to it, especially
if one knows one is right, and no fair
minded person will form an opinion of
another without being sure they are
justified in their Judgment.
Because the opinions Of another do
not coincide with yours is no reason
why you should criticize his views
What you have to say about another
may have a great deal to do with in
fiuenci1g someone else, so until you
are very sure let your criticisms be
kind and do not comment on peoples
lpeculiarities before you are sure you
know them well.

A "LucI<yu CHI.

My, how | envy that girl! She is SO
lucky that everything she attempts is
sure to turn out we'll" was said of a
girl not long ago as a number of her
chums were chattering over hot choeo-
late and waters.
Yes, isn't she lucky" chimed in an
other. "Just think of the dandy posi-
tion she holds and of the splendid sal
airy she getsl It's enough to turn us
all green with envy. She has climbed
right up ever since she started to work
for that company, while the girls who
were there long before she was are
still occupying the unimportant places.
1 never saw such luck" and she gave
a sigh as she thought of her own small
salary, which hardly served to keep
her in shoes.
Now, l happen to know that lucky
girl, and as a matter of fact she Is no
luckier than anyone else.
She has only always tried hard to
do her very best, and being naturally
bright, has been able to do many
things in the office where she is en-
ployed which served to make her en-
ployers realize her ability.
