One of the most successful plays of the
present season is The Little Prospector. >
comedy-drama. which comes to the
Belding opera house on Friday. March 90.
The Little Prospector' was written es-
pecially for Chic" Perkins by master
hand in stage-craft, and the lines and
business fit her like kid glove. The
character of the self assertive. independ-
ent, yet lovable daughter of degenerate
physician is interpreted with charm that
wins the audience and sets the gallery
gods in furore. "Chic" Perkins is sur
rounded with group of theatrical sat-
elites that are an important factor in the
success of the new play and give the
little star excellent support.
Success from a financial and artistic
standpoint has crowned the efforts of the
strenuous and magnetic Chic" and the
little star deserves the laurel Of fame.

THE LENTEN SEASON
should BE Faithfully Observed-Hal-
lowed BY Custom of Centuries

should BE Faithfully Observed-HaI-
lowed BY Custom of Centuries
The season of Lent begins on Ash
Wednesday and lasts forty week days
Sundays are in Lent but not of Lent.
Ever since the Christian church existed
as a known power Lent has been observed
and holy week has been religiousy OBJ
served for about 5,4oo years. Lent was
universally observed by the year 400 A.
D. According to religious statistics OF
800 there are 4zz.ooo.ooo Christians
IN the world. Of these 100000 are
bound by their church rules to observe
ent leaving 65,ooo,ooo, or about one in
six, that does not keep it. Many religious
bodies in the larger cities, Presbyterians
and Congreg gationalists among the num-
Der, are keeping some part of lent Its
observance has grown rapidly with the
religious revival Of the last twenty years.
The observance Of lent is for all who de-
sire TO follow Jesus. He spent forty days
IN fasting and prayer and He was sinless,
but stands as our example OF self denial.
Lent is good time to practice the saying
of no.
There is only one good way Of taking
up lenten duties, and that is spirit of
love for your SAVIOUR and for your fellow
men. Remember you can be a great
stumbling block to some other soul. Put
the claims and duties Of religion first
above everything elsewhere they should
be. Lent should begin with plan made
in His name-then live above, not be-
low, the standard you have raised. Ask
yourself, Who am I9" "Why am here9"
What am doing?" What about here
after?"
The keeping of Lent is neither a mere
fad nor fashion, but season hallowed by
the custom of centuries as time of spe-
cial devotion and spiritual development
deepening and strengthening the religious
life, not only for this season and the COM
ing Easter day, but until the eternal Eas-
ter tide.

Boys Can't Carry Guns
j. A. Baynton.

Quite likely many parents are not aware
that law Of the state makes it misoe-
meanor to allow boy Of S years or un-
der to carry firearms. whether for target
practice or hunting, unless accompanied
by his parent or guardian. This law is
the outcome Of many frightful accidents
caused solely by the pernicious custom Of
allowing young BOYS to carry and use
firearms. The penalty imposed upon a
parent for allowing boy to carry fire.
arms is quite severe, fine Of not more
than Sloo being imposed, or a CORES
ponding term in Jail. In extreme cases
the judges may sentence a parent TO a
term in Jail and fine of $l0o in addition.

after passing Wyman the tram stuck fast
in drift and laid there until two o'clock
in the morning, when the relief engine
struck the coach.
Many of the passengers were in the
front part Of the coach near the stove,
which doubtless saved the lives of a num-

facing the rear Of the car in an endeavor
to get some rest and sleep amid the un-
comfortable surroundings. The crash
came with terrific force and the pow

Miss jerks was caught by the front
seat coming over upon her and it was
some time before she could be extricated
and placed on a cot and taken to a farm

Other passengers we're also cut and
bruised in the wrecksge and were taken

Pupils Recital

Pupils OF Miss Jennie Wagner and Miss
Florence Wagner gave a recital at the
residence Of Mr.. Harry Lamb last Friday
evening. The pupils taking part acquit.
ted themselves very creditably. It is the
Intention Of the Misses Wagner to give
these reeitals monthly, thus giving their
pupils the very necessary practice Of play
ing before others-paving the way for the
public reci.als to be given later. These
teachers are preparing a program of
selections from the works Of American
composers, with especial reference to
numbers from MaoOowell, the great
American composer who died recently.
This recital, like the Greg recital given
recently, will be instructive. Vocal and
piano pupils Of these teachers will be in
vted

A large seighload Of our people spent
happy evening at mr. and Mrs. E. A.
Fuller's in Greenvile Wednesday, with a
picnic basket supper more than supple
mented by generous supply of edibes
prepared by Mrs. Fuller, to which all did
ample justice. all unanimous in the opinion
that there was nothing more conducive to
a good appetite than sleighing party
and nothing more conducive to the good
time which followed than the feast to
which they sat down.

Miss Emctson.s Recital

The recital Riv,7 by Miss Beatrice Fern
Emerson Of Chicago at the Congregational
church Tuesday evening was one of real
merit and exceedingly fine quality; such
an one as is not often heard and treat
to listen to. The selections she presented
were every one Of them Of a high order
and Miss Emerson sang them with fine
expression and excellent voice. She sings
in an easy, graceful way and every word
can be heard and understood, so distinct
is her articulation. Miss Florence Fisher
was the piano accompanist and did her
work well. receiving many compliments

sustained her reputation as an artist in
the line Of getting music both in volume
and quality from that instrument.
Miss Emerson is the guest Of Rev and
Mrs. N J. Myers and will remain over
Sunday. The official board has made
special request and engaged her to sing
solo at the morning service and also three
or four in the evening, which will give an
opportunity for all to hear this gifted LADY.

time by the men who would have
profited most, the convention could
have been secured for Lincoln.
