FORGAVE MRS. SIDDONS.
She Did Not, According to Her Fa-
ther, Marry an Actor.

enc Dlo MOI, w 11cT n
ther, Marry an Actor.
Mrs. Siddons, the actress, was born
In 1865 at the Shoulder Of Mutton inn,
Brecon, south Wales, of parents con-
nected with the theater, her father
Roger Kemble, being a strollng man
ager The child Sarah was reared in a
theatrical atmosphere, and ct ten she
was playing Ariel.
AS she grew up she became very
beautiful and had many admirers,
among whom was Henry Siddons, a
young actor in her fathers company,
who had little difficulty in winning the
girls heart. Mr.. and Mrs. Kemble had
made up their minds that Sarah should
not marry in the profession, in conse-
quence of which they strenuously op-
posed the marriage, and young Siddons
in a fit Of retaliatory humor composed
a song detailing their opposition and
his trials, which brought about his
speedy dismissal from the company.
Sarah left the company, too, and hired
out as lady's maid in Warwickshire for
two years.
During this time the lovers carried
on a lively correspondence and finally,
gaining the reluctant consent of the
Kembles, were married at Trinity
church, Coventry, in 1913, when Sarah
was eighteen.
1t is said that Mr. Kemble told her if
she ever married an actor it would
make him discard her forever. After
her marriage he said, Il may forgive
you without breaking my word, for you
have certainly not married IAN actor
whatever the gentleman himself may
think is his vocation" This is on au-
thority of Lady Eleanor Butler, who
knew the persons.

Cruel, but Necessary.

The Eskimos dread the winter and
take early precautions to provide
against famine. AS the season ap-
proaches the great herds of reindeer
migrate southwark. and the walrus or
the seal are all that remain for food.
When an in wind is blowing the wal
rus is easily found on the outer edge
of the ice packs. When it is blowing
off the shore, however. the ice packs
sail out to sea with the walruses on
them. The natives then class their
numbers in list from the strongest to
the weakest. The food that is in store
is divided up. the weakest having the
smallest quantity, the strongest the
largest. Thus the mightiest hunters
have strength to provide for the 9th
ers. 1t is a cruel system, but neverthe-
less a necessary one. If all were weak,
all would die: if some are strong, they
will save many of the weak.

Indiana Railroad Commission
Will Make the Fur Fly
From Now On.
TWO RAILROADS ARE HIT.
JUDGE HARVEY OF MARION Su-
PERlOR COURT ISSUES TEMP
oRARY ORDER TO THEM FROM
DISOBEYING ORDERS.

indianapolis, Ind. June 3.-The state
railroad commission has finally closed
with the railroads. and the fur is go
ing TO fly. Judge Harvey. in the Ma
rion superior court, late yesterday, is
sued temporary order restraining the
Big Four and Southern Indiana rail
roads from disobeying the order of the
commission and from further refusing
to receive and transport coal ship
ments. The hearing is set for June
-. at which time the order is return
able. These two railroads have been
wrangling over a division of the joint
refused to deliver coal to the other.
AS a result, the cities and towns along
each line have been held up and are
in danger of a complete failure of the
fuel supply The commission grew
weary of the squabble. and also of the
avalanche of complaints that came
from the towns affected, and deter
mined to move.
1t is the first real clash between the
powers of the state and common car
rlers, and the outcome will be watched
with interest. Wouldn't it be just a
little odd, perhaps embarrassing, if the
state should take possession of the two
properties in behalf of the public until
such time as the fussing corporations
should decide to respect the law?

The Eve of n Child.

Who can explain or fathom the Won
drous instinct of the child? Lying in
the arms of its nurse, in its carriage or
elsewhere, it's large. round, wondering
eyes roam over a sea OF faces till sud
denly its features break into sweet
smile, a baby laugh dances in its eyes,
perhaps the tiny hands are extended,
and the little body gives a bound as
though it would throw itself through
space. What has happened? 1t has
recognized a friend, nothing more and
no less. 1t makes no mistake. Wiser,
perchance. in that moment of inexperi-
enced helplessness than it will be years
afterward, when the world and its in
mates have been studied in the light
of instruction and experience, its love
Offering is seldom If ever mistakenly
presented. BY what power Is this child
love directed? By what subtle infu-
ence does it see and know what in
after years it may strive in vain to
discern?

GOLD AND THE SEA.
Why the Metal Is Shipped In Bars
Rather Than In Coin.


when the banks ship gold across
the Atlantic" said a banker. they pre-
fer to ship it in bars rather than in
coin. 1t loses less that way"
1T loses less?'
yes, sir. If 100000 in gold coins
is shipped across the sea it is only
$999,8O0 on it's arrival. 1t loses from
twelve to fifteen ounces, about $500,
through abrasion, through knocking
about with the motion of the waves.
The sea makes gold lose weight. you
see, the same as it does human beings
Gold bars lose less. In fine weather
they will only lose about 500 to each
million. In the ugliest weather they
don't lose over $3.50, whereas in like
conditions gold coins have been known
to lose $500. AS gold shipments of $1O-
O00,O 900 often occur, to make these ship
ments in gold bars instead of gold coin
is saving of $1,000 or more. 1t is odd
to think when you cross in one Of those
gold laden ships that every wave that
hits the boat clips off 10 to Is cents
from it's golden cargo."-Philadelph

HAVE ONE BIG WISH
Local Fans Would Like to See
Muncie in the Hands of a
Good Manager.
BAIRD HAD BAD DREAMS.

Local fans have only one hearty
wish to wish in regards to the reorgan-
ization of the 10. league. That wish
is-let some one get hold of the Mum
Gle franchise who does not suffer with
frigid pedal extremities.
At the present time Muncie is base
ball crazy, and was the only team,
when the explosion occurred that was
making money. However, Baird had
direful dreams about Old Hard Times
chasing him over the precipice Of FL
nancial Ruin and stabbing him TO
death in mid-air. Monday morning, in
the middle of one Of these dreams he
jumped out of bed, rushed down stairs
and sent in a riot call for his players.
After paving each of them off and
handing them their releases, Baird
collected the uniforms and the rainbow
stockings, then galloped to the tall and
uncut buffalo grass.
When Jack Smith and his Hunting
ton tribe arrived in Muncie for series
of three games beginning yesterday, he
was surprised to learn that Baird and
his hired men were among the missing.
He promptly communicated with the
Huntington officials and they ordered
him to bring the team home. The
Huntington out fit has been stabbed,
awaiting the action of the magnates in
reorganizing the circuit. 1t is report
ed that eight clubs may be included in
the league within the next week.
