SIXTEEN REVERSED

For the past twenty three years, Wis
itors to this city have been greeted by
he cheerful voice of Mrs. K C. Bender,
better known as "Mother Bender. -
During this time she has fed thousands
of people from all sections of the globe.
The rich have dined at her table, while
the poor and unfortunate have tasted
Of her generosity more than once. Mrs.
Bender is known far and wide and the
reputation of the Commercial restaurant
on Seventh street is envied by restau
rant men everywhere. Mother Bender
has accumulated n goodly share of this
worlds goods, but even so, she has
been most liberal in assisting the less
fortunate, and she claims all the orphan
children as her own. Time and again
has she provided food for some suf-
ferer, who was here taking the baths,
but who was short of money, while she
was never known to refuse to assist
in a worthy cause. For this reason
she has won host of friends, who on
last Monday joined in wishing her
many more anniversaries of her birth.
For Monday was her birthday and as
she expresses it, she was "sixteen re-
versed."

Erks Spread Christmas Cheer

81 don't know anyone, but these
here Elicks." Thus spoke an old
lady of this city some months ago,
when speaking of people she knew in
Glenwood. 1t was shortly after
Christmas time and the old lady hal
been made happy with good things to
eat. They had been, given by the
Glenwood Elks and her heart went out
to them to the extent that her other
friends were almost blotted from her
memory.
Again this year, the local Elks came
forward with their Christmas cheer.
Great sacks of potatoes, boxes Of apples
meats, flour and many other things that
were needed in the larder of the Glen
wood homes were distributed, There
was no bluster about tho affair, Tho
work was unnoticed by those who were
not within the band of Elks. They give
in manner that proves they arc not
seeking praise, yet if they hope to es.
cape this praise they are mistaken, for
the people who were made hsupy
through their kindness will sinx their
praises until death. All honor - tais
noble band Of men.

CLOSE MOVING PICTURES

From New York comes the report
that all of the five hundred moving
picture shows of that city have been
closed. The mayor OF that city was
Convinced that the picture shows were
not such as the people sruld see and
all licenses were revoked.
Perhaps Glenwood people have never
given much thought to the character
of the pictures shown at the Pastime,
but so far there has never been com
plant regarding them. The managers
have been very careful in their sclec
tion of films and at times have refused
to run the ones sent them. The pictures
shown in this city are of the very best
and latest films and the management
announced at the start that they would
never show a picture that was not in
the list of good, clean pictures.
Skating, swimming and coasting af-
forded the young people great deal Of
pleasure in Glenwood Christmas Day.

A great deal has been said the past
few months regarding the installing OF
some sort of fire signal system in the
city. 1t is said the mayor has struck
on the right scheme and that an elec-
tric ticker will be placed at the fire bell,
thus when you have fire in your sec
tion of the city, just call central and
she will press the button that will
start the ticker and the alarm will have
been given. If you then want the ex-
act location of the fire. call central
and she will tell you. The affair. will
cost approximately 5000. ~.

BURNED TO DEATH
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY YESTERDAY
ENDS LIFE OF ONE AND EN-

Awak by the glare of flames
which We're rapidly envelopiLg his
fathers home, but too weak from the
ravages of disease to leave his bed,
Benjamin Harrison Kelley, the L.
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Kelley, who live about nine miles

death shortly after o'clock Sunday
morning. William Kelley. uncle of the
dead boy, was seriously buried about
the head and hands in making his ex-
it from the blazing structure and
other members of the family, though
they escaped without injury, expe-
rienced narrow escapes
The origin of the fire is a mystery
but the supposition is that a defective
fiue was responsible for the conf1agra-
ton. Three members of the family,
Joseph Kelley, Bert Kelley and Har-
rison Kelley, were seriously i'll with
pneumonia, and the exposure result
ing from being forced TO go out into
the night air may prove fatal to the
two former
Harrison had been in a precarious
condition for several days, but Satur-
day the physicians and nurses in at

was past and that the lad would re-
cover. All retired as usual Saturday
night, but within a few short hours
the fire demon had entered the peace

STUFFED out. just as it was getting a
