Probation Officer Christopher Ruess,
functionary of Oakland, has suddenly
become to the several small children
who assist Maude Adams as Peter Pan
In making a fairy story come true an
ogre to be more feared than even the
valiant Captain Hook, the pirate chief
tain whom they nightly meet and
vanquish on the stage. Ruess has Just
loomed up as mighty enemy whom
they must confront in a few short,
weeks. and his threat to enforce to
the letter the law prohibiting children
under 16 years of age from appearing
on the stage has more baleful sig
nificance than Captain Hooks nightly
vow to eat them alive.
The law which Ruess declared must
be upheld. so far at least as Oakland
is concerned, Provides a fine of $3.50
for every theater manager and every
parent who permits a child under Is
years of age to appear on the profess
sional stage. 1t wasn't the expected
coming of Peter Pan" that caused
Ruess to make his threat to prosecute
all violators of the law, but some very
fragrant actions In some of the cheap
vaudeville houses which were brought
TO his attention.
The ban has gone forth, however, and
the threat has sounded just before the
date announced for the opening of
Maude Adams at the Macdonough the
ater in her production of Peter PAN"

part of Michael Darling and slays
pirates with the nonchalance of Jack
the Giant Killer, and IL year old Walter
Robinson, who plays the part of John
Darling, the registering small boy.
While Maude Adams is exempt from
the 16 year old law, even though she
doesn't look it in the play, the others

to them, and unless he takes certain
extenuating circumstances into con-
fact that they have not yet attained the
age which the statute says they should
reach before appearing, Oaklanders are
doomed to face disappointment.

Large Numbers of Animals
Are Being Sold for Fear
Of Cholera.
MANY OF THEM HAVE DIED.
ANIMALS NOW BEING SOLD ARE
UNFIT FOR MARKET IT is
THOUGHT BEST HOWEVER TO
DELL THEM IMMEDIATELY.

New Castle, Ind, Dec. 24-Despite
the fact that prices are lower than
they have been for some time, farm
ers all over the country are disposing
of their hogs in large numbers. The
marketing of the animals just now is
not on account of need for money,
but because hog cholera is prevalent
in many sections of the county and
farmers are getting rid of their stock
before the disease gets into their
herds and causes total loss.
In both the southern and northern
parts of the county cholera prevails
and many hogs have died. Those farm
ers who have the cholera within a
mile of them are selling their hogs,
fearing visitation of the disease
and repetition of the heavy loss OF
several years ago. The disease seems
to have gained foorhold just at the
time when the farmer9 were congrat-
ulating themselves that the county
would be free of it at least for the
winter and considerable uneasiness is
felt. Many of the hogs being sold are
not yet ready to market and the farm
ers will lose considerable by having
to sell them at this time.

"Why. don't you know you always

later she was called to the kitchen,
and while there the visitor heard two
more smashes. The bride came back

SELECTING A HUSBAND.
Capture Him While He Is Still Young,

Because it is the duty of every wo-
man to marry some man it by no
means follows that she is deprived of
the privilege of making acute discvm

her mission as completely as possible
she should exercise the greatest care in

but in this happily civilized land she
still possesses and will undoubtedly

have observed. it should be exercised
with caution. Let nothing be left to

when he decreed that pairing should

distinction conferred upon him and SO

his undying gratefulness.

that in considering the points to be

tablished. 1t is best, for example, to

Writing plays is risky business"
said a famous dramatist. Past tri-
umphs don't count. He who has writ
ten twenty superb pieces is just as
likely to be damned on his twenty first
piece as any tyro.
There was once a playwright who
sat in the front row at the first night
of new piece of his own. This piece
failed. 1t failed dreadfully.
AS the playwright sat, pale and sad,
amid the Kisses a woman behind him
leaned forward and said:
Excuse me, sir, but, knowing you
to be the author of this play, / took
the liberty at the beginning Of the per-
Torrance of shipping OF lock OF your

THE WATERMELON.
Not What It, Used to Be, at least In
the Eating Thereof.

the Eating Thereof.
In the old days. when the world was
much better than it is now, there were
good watermelons.
AS we remember them, the water
melons of twenty-five or thirty or thir-
ty-tive years ago were huge affairs.
They were none of your overgrown
cucumber effects Of today, but were
great big round fellows. and the out
side was a dark green. 1t was the
same shade of green as the reflection
of the trees in a swimming hole.
And when you sunk the knife into it
the rind ripped and cracked for two
inches ahead of the blade, and the
melon just laughed itself open.
Hold on: You didn't use a knife.
You lifted the melon above your head
and dropped it to the ground. and it
burst open. as red as rose and a
hundred times as sweet. And you ate
nothing but the heart-just the chunky
red heart.
Nowadays the marketman shows you
an obiong affair done in pale green
and greenery gallery stripes, with a
white blotch on the underside. that he
calls a watermelon. And you cut ii
into slices like bologna sausage and
eat 1t with a fork, like pie.
And you have forgotten whether a
watermelon goes plink-plink or PUNK
PUNK when it is ripe. because il
doesn't make any difference now
