OPERETTA, ~VOICES OF
NATURE" AT ROCKVALE

The members CT the Epworth Lea
que rendered very creditably the oper-
eta Voices OF Nature" in the Rock
vale town hall Friday evening. No
vember 22nd. A chorus of seventy
voices made the five scenes of the
operetta a real delight to the large
and appreciative audience.
In scene /. the Flowers appeared to
tell something OF their mission and to
give some wholesome advice. The
voices of the different flowers, together
with costumes of such appropriate de-
sign gave scene 1 a touch Of beauty.
In scene II the bees entertained and
attempted to teach some good lessons
On industry. In this scene the bees
were all attired alike and its presenta-
ton was especially attractive from
the fact of its systematic appearance
and bee like way of doing things. Miss
Margaret John acted as queen of the
hive and Joe Pacheck as drone. The
choruses of the bees deserve especial
mention.
In scene III the birds sing some
merry songs even including those of
the woodpecker. represented by Ar
thur Powell. and the crow, by Mozart
Lewis The gentlemen acted well
their parts and furnished the humorist
side of this scene. All the birds acted
we'll their parts and in that all the
honor lies for the well presented num-
bers in this scene.
The frogs give some exhibitions of
their vocal skill in scene ", and come
on the scene with a hop. AS all
through the program these parts were
equally well taken and all the frogs
were there in their coats OF green.
Billy Williamson as Pollywog. in a
solo, told what he would do when he
was a great big frog. Edwin Gilfert
represented the Tadpole. The frog
scene was a novelty Of the program
and added much to its impressiveness.
In scene V all appear in chorus, fol-
lowed by trio duet, solo and good
night The general supervision OF
the whole was with Mrs. W. H. Will
hanson. ably assisted by the accom-
panist, Mrs. H. l.. Alders. and the
helpers, Mrs. Ed Powell and Misses
Olive and Sadie Powell. These ladies
are all deserving OF the commendation
of all for their untiring efforts in
making the operetta the success II
was. The best OF order prevailed
throughout the program.

JAIL FOR HORSE STEALING

Antoine Hecbince, a young man of
about 30 years of age, was brought
here from Brookside about 2 O'Clock
this morning and locked up in the
county jail on the charge of horse
stealing. The horse alleged to have
been stolen by the prisoner belonged
to Frank Pasquale of Brookside and
he will be the prosecuting witness.
Pasquale had hired the horse to one
of his neighbors for q drive to Rock
vale and it was while the animal was
tied to a post there that it was stolen.
BY a most unfortunate thing for him
self Hecbince drove the animal back
to Brookside, not knowing that 1t be-
longed there, and was at once taken
into custody as q horse thief. Hec-
bince will probably be given prelim-
mary hearing on Tuesday.

BANKS IN TEXAS WILL
NOT LET GO OF MONEY

J. E. Holmes returned home Thurs
day night from q couple Of weeks
business visit through western and
central Texas. where he went to look
after some property interests. Al
though agricultural crops in Texas
have returned a fairly good harvest
during the past year farmers are
unable to dispose o fthem on account
OF the peculiar financial situation
growing out of the unsettled condition
Of the money market The banks and
loan companies will not supply the
cash to market the cotton and other
crops, and as a consequence they have
lost much OF their value, the price
having deprecated several cents a
pound within the last few weeks.
There is nothing doing" in Texas
at the present time. according to Mr..
Holmes. and will not be until the IN
ancial storm blows over. People
here" said Mr.. Holmes. "can have no
idea how serious the monetary dis
turbance is until they endeavor to
transact business in Texas. They are
90 badly stampeded down there that
they are afraid to trade horses."

Stevenson was for some time asso-
ciated with Dwight L. Moody in evan
gelical work in Chicago and his mis-
sionary labors in that city impressed
upon him the necessity OF special
training for effective work in the
Sunday school. DR.. Stevenson thinks
that the International Sunday school
lessons are not as carefully prepared
as they ought to be and that something
should be done by those in charge
of their preparation to make them
more interesting and helpful.
