BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
Both Tie DefeHsc And Prosecution Have
Excellent Witnesses.

Regarding the big Mock Court Trial
at the Colonial Theatre ON Thursday
evening March Il. il is hardly neces-
sary 20 say more than ii is com ing
of as scheduled and will furn ish
the biggest dose OF fun that an equal
sum Of money ever purchased. There
is a great deal of interest naturally
aud the proceedings will so skillfully
managed that the attention viii be
closely held all the way through.
Several attempts have been made
the past week 20 tamper with the
jury, but their price is 50 high that
they are as yet uncontaminated. The
fact that the defendant has some ex-
ceedingly good witnesses and will
put up a defense as strong as it will
be surprising, Will compel the plain
tiff 10 put forth her very best efforts
If she expects TO win. Naturally the
jury Will be susceptible to feminine
tears, and so fully is it expected
that at least two of the jurors will be
unable 10 stand such a sight, that ar
rangements have been made TO have
the ambulance in waiting at the stage
entrance 10 convey them TO the hos
pital.
Deep interest centers around the tes-
timony of Daniel X. Randall, ESQ,
and the prosecution is so anxious over
what he may say that liberal induce
ments have been offered him 10 be too
i'll TO attend that night and many
other plots have been devised TO pre-
vent his being present at the trial. He
is now under police protection. The
prosecution is relying heavily on the
evidence of one of the lady witnesses
who will testify rs To the general
character of the defendant. All who
are To participate in the event are en-
tering into it enthusiastically and a
successful performance is assured.

ployed by the Annapolis Gas and
Electric Light Company, is patient
at the Emergency Hospital, suffering
from a broken ankle on one leg and a
sprained one on tie other as the re-

ground. He landed squarely on his
feet, but in such way as to sprain
one ankle and break several bones in
the other. lie is doing nicely, but

"Let Us Have Light. +"

Eastport and her citizens are crying

An Excellent Sermon.

Notwithstanding the inclemeni
weather and the downpour of snow,
quite good-sized congregation was
present at st. Anne's yesterday even
ing for the regular service. The SER
mon was preached by the Rev. Jesse
g. Taylor, now Of Annapolis, but for
merly of the diocese. of Delaware.
Mr.. Taylor, who has retired from ac-
tive ministry on account of advanced
age, preached from the gospel of John,
THE Life was the Light of Men.
The sermon, which was an excellent
one and closely followed by the con-
gregation, was a lesson of the power
Of the life of Christ too direct and
correct the life of men.

improvements at West Annapolis.

Ridgely street, West Annapolis, is
being improved by having the steep
rise in its bed, near the Short Line
station, cut down. The hill will be
lowered at its highest point over three
feet, and the cut and filling in are
nearly hundred yards in length.
The work is being done by Messrs.
Sears and Marks, contractors, for Mr..
Rudolph Kaiser, who is an abutting
owner on the street. The thoroughfare
is an important one, as IL leads from
the railroad station to the bridge over
Weems' creek, now very largely used
in travel by vehicles and by foot pas
sengers. The county has ordered a
number of oyster shells TO be put on
the muddy cut near the bridge, pro-
vided the citizens Of the neighbor-
hood do the hauling. This offer will
probably be accepted.

There is lots of sickness IN this neigh.
borhood now, more than we have known
for years.
Little May Smith, daughter Of San
Smith, is on the sick list. She has the
rheumatism.
Dr.. Donovan was called to the home
Of ]. l. Cant few days ago. Their
little baby is sick.
Mrs. Cyrus Palmer and daughter,
Miss Jessie, were shopping in Medicine
Lodge on Saturday.
Rev. Shamberger Of Minsona will
preach for the Forest City people next
Sabbath, Feb. 18th.
J.C. Garten, c. Miller and l.. c,
Mills hauled their cane heads down to
Mmgona and had them threshed.
Mrs. Minnie Hittle-Crum and little
daughter, Zelma, are both quite sick at
the home of MIR. and Mrs. c. S. Miller.
Mrs. Davis, who has been here since
the severe illness and death Of her
mother, Mrs. Noah Wamsaf, left
Saturday for her home IN Arizona.
Mrs.Nellie Garten-Smith iscon6ned to
her bed with an attack Of mAammatory
rheumatism. Dr.. Donovan is treating
her and we hope for her early recovery.
Dr.. c. c. Bond, who has been so
seriously Ill for over a month, is doing
splendidly considering his age. Dr. Dor
ovan is the attending physician and is
undoubtly skilled in his profession.
This weather is not so bad after all
for into each life some clouds must come
and the roads are getting passibly good.
Only a little less than month of winter
yet and so far we have had but little
zero weather, but it is yet too early to
boast for we are sure Mr.. Groundhos
saw his shadow on Feb. End.
On Sunday. Jan. 9th, some Of tn e
good people Of Forest and vicinity met
at our church, the schoolhouse, and or
gained an Epworth League society with
officers as follows: Ralph Nurse, presi-
dent; Mrs. T. ]. Lemon, vice president;
Miss Daisy Dark, secretary; Bert Strick-
lane, treasurer; Miss Jessie Palmer, or
ganist. This society is generally suppos-
ed to belong to the Methodist denomi-
nation but not so at Forest, for if there
is one thing we have decided views up
on it is that Of unity in church work
and we trust we are all united in this
case. Come one, come all, and help
the good work along. 1t meets every
Sunday evening at 7:30.

mamma took me to the house. There was
a girl who took me in her arms and said:
This will be my Snow White" When
I was little older l lived in the house.
One day she took me out in the park. She
stopped to talk to a friend and l ran on

picked me up and said: This is pretty

was a lame girl. She became fond of me.
She taught me tricks. They were to beg
to play dead and to walk across the room
on my hind legs One day a girl came
over. I knew her to be Ruth at once
She picked me up and said: II will take
you home" But Jennie cried and Ruth
said she could keep me. She would play

and then trim It up with their own wicked
imaginations. A story was told Of KAth-
crimes indiscretions when she was a child
in her thirteenth year. She had then fallen
IN love with her music MASTER and had
secretly pledged her troth with him. He,
being more than twice her age and most
unscruplous fellow, was free with her name
when in the company of the servants.
Later, while In her fourteenth year, she
had another affair of the heart, being stlll
a susceptible and unsuspecting child In
fact, throughout her short life she was
ever more sinned against than SHINING.
The stories gathered about the child In
her early teens were whispered TO her
arch enemy, Cranmer, who, in turn, en-
lightened his gross lord and king the NOM
ster Henry. At once Henry, who was
doubtless growing tired of his NTH bride,
had an investigation made into the girl
life OF his queen. Plenty Of persons OF low
birth were found to verify the scandals
now being whispered against Katharine.
She Rad engaged herself to a certain young
gentleman Of some standing by the name
Of Culpeper before she came to court.
This had been kept secret from the king
sufficient reason for Henry to be rid Of
her. other and more dangerous accusa-
lions were made against the helpless
Katharine VINO ueileu the IdlBenOOQS to
avail although she confessed the truth in
every instance. She had loved and pledged
her troth to young Culpeper this she did
not deny but the slanderous stories she
vehemently denied.
Katharine now saw her impending doom.
She fell I'll through fever She was ban
ished from the kings presence and made a
royal prisoner. Many innocent persons and
some guilty ones lost their heads IN con-
nection with the affair Katharine was
condemned 10 death on the most himsy
evidence. But Henry needed only fragile
thread from which 10 weave a tangled
web about his victims. on February 49,
l54l, Katharine Howard was executed on
the scaffold and Henry was free 20 con-
tract another marriage 20 ensnare another
victim into his SPIDERS web.
The day before her execution Katharine
had the block brought into her apartment
that she might practice placing her head
upon It IN the right position 70 receive

20 her death guilty perhaps, Of many in

Experience of a Friend

BY Fay Callahan, Aged IA Years, Gering,
Ncb.
One day my friend Mr.. Jones went to
visit a fricud. He had been there two
days, when some ladies came to visit also.
Mr.. Jones slept upstairs There were
Just two rooms upstairs, one on each side
of the stairs. The stairs did not have
ballustrades around them.
The ladies were to sleep in the other
room. Mr.. Jones being tired, said he was
going to bed The host offered him light
but he said, mo, l don't want one I
could find the way Il hundred years from
now II l should try"
So Mr.. Jones started for bed. He went
into one room and undressed. He went to
get into bed and found there was no cover
ing on it.
He walked around in the dark and ran
into another bed. Then he knew he was
in the wrong room. He got down on his
hands and knees and crept around the
room, but alas, he could not find the door.
But after a long while and lots OF trouble
he found II.
He stepped out into the hall and fell
down the stairs, thump thump, thump he
went The ladies on hearing such a noise
grabbed a lamp and ran to see what was
the matter When they did see they all
began laughing. But Mr. Jones did not.
He got a black eye and some bruises, but
did not refuse the lamp this time. He said
he was as tame as kitten.

sidewalk. She and her little friend, Joan,
were going to the orchard. In the orchard
In corner stood a lonely little pear tree
bearing but one pear This pear was very
large and green. Hetty's mother had said
that when it got ripe she would bake 1t
and give it to the children Joan and
Hetty). They were nearing the orchard
when Hetty said in a low voice, 81 do be-
lieve that pear is ripe enough; I know it
is" and she stamped her foot impatently.
"All right; let's go and eat it," said Joan.
So they ate the green pear. at isn't

Hetty. II wish l hadn't ate it," sobbed

Antics of Pinknose

By Marguerite Porter, Aged IA Years,
Plattsmouth, Neb.
will tell you CT some of the antics of
our kitten, Pinknose. He is white, with
brown spots on his back and head and has
a brown tail When he was small he looked
like a SNOWFALL. The reason we called him
Pinknose was because when he was little
he had a pink nose like white rabbit. He
always knew when it church time Sun
day night and would always keep so far
ahead so we couldn't chase him back. When
mamma was sewing or reading the paper
he used to jump into her lap and instead
Of lying in her lap kittens usually do, he
would always lie across her breast under
her chin so she couldn't read or sew. Some
times he jumps on her lap, climbs on her
shoulder and rubs against her face trying
TO get her to pet him One day a girl took
him to school. He jumped in the window
and the teacher threw him out again.
When mamma was standing by the stove
cooking he used to jump upon her back,
look over her shoulder, trying to see II
there was anything there he liked One
evening I was reading a story. He came
into the parlor, jumped on my lap and lay
fat on the place where I was reading. He
