he at his best in character portrayal.
His wide knowledge OF the subject and
his unusual command OF the finest
English. coupled with his ability to
bring the personality OF his subject be-
fore the very eyes OF his hearers.
promises to make him even more
popular this year when he talks on
real characters, than he was last year
when he spoke on the imaginary char
aeters OF Shakespeare.
After a short discussion OF the gen.
eral interest OF historical pcrsonages,
the lecturer proceeded to his theme for
the evening. He contrasted the purity
and innocence OF Joan OF Arc. her
Kindness. her purity and her sympathy
with the insincerity. the Immortality
and brutality OF her age, making her
good qualities stand out all the more
conspicuously by the contrast. The
visions she saw were discussed with
respect to the probability OF their be
ing miracles or mere results OF vivid
imagination. and by way OF illustration
a number oi cases were shown where
her prophecies had been true.
The work OF the heroine for the
good oi France was dwclt upon, her
gencralship laudcd and examples were
given OF her patriotism and lack oi
personal ambition Lastly the scenes
II her trial for witchcrait and hcrcsy,
after she had been captured by the
English were pictured to the audience.
He then told oi the wonderful courage
with which this young girl bore the
greatest troubles and mental torturcS,
and finally exposed the tricks by means
of which her conviction was secured.
After the lecture 4 number OF Ian
tern slides. giving views relating To
the lecture were shown, the lantern OF
the Elkton Amusement Company be-
ing used for the purpose. The discus.
sion by the class at the close was not
as animated as some of those last year.
Next Wednesday the subject will be
Oliver Cromwell A meeting OF the
class will be held IN the School Com
missioners' room in the Court House.
in which questions on Joan OF Arc will
be answered by the lecturer,

Strikes BrofherWifh Scissors

Paul Johnson, the son OF Elmer
Johnson, OF Calvert, narrowly escaped
serious injury and perhaps death last
Friday morning, by being struck in
the back by pair OF scissors thrown
at him by his little sister.
Paul. who is Q years old, and Emily,
his year old sister. were disputing as
10 which of two roads they should take
to school. and the boy teased his sis
ter until she grew angry and threw the
scissors at him.
He was struck in the back, and ar
ugly wound that bled freely, was made.
A physician was summoned, and at
first expressed the fear that the kid
ney was penetrated. He later found
this was not the case, and the wound
was found not TO be dangerous.
The little girl, though hardly old
enough to realize the consequences OF
her act. was almost frantic with grief.
She and her brother are very fond OF
each other, and she insists that she
didn't mean to hit him but only scare
him.

Poultry Farm Receivershfp

On account Of complications caused
largely because OF the long and serious
illness OF the proprietor OF the Belle
ilill White Leghorn Range. situated
about one mile north OF Eikton. the
business was placed in the hands Of
receivers on Friday last.
The Belle Hill Farm, with its build
ings, etc. arranged for the poultry
business, belongs to J. K. Johnson, OF
Philadelphia. by whom i, is leased to
Mrs. Helen NJ. Burr, who operates it
under the lease and agreement On
the property there are about 300
White Leghorn chickens. mostly hens.
and large number OF White Ply
mouth Rocks. The eggs are sold
chiefly III the New York market. where
white eggs bring the largest prices,
and the eggs from the Range sell at n
premium above the highest market
price. On account OF the illness OF
Mrs, Burr. the business OF the Range
had become involved and as there
were quite number OF creditors, il
was feared that an attempt to collect
their claims by law would not only
be attended with loss,-on their part.
but would unnecessarily sacrifice a
very valuable property and business,
as the stock there is one of the larg-
est collections OF White Lcghorns in
the United States. II was believed
that ii the property could be protect
cd and the business continued under
the protection OF the Court. not only
would all Of the creditors be paid but
the property would be saved to its
owner Accordingly an application
was made to the Court on Friday of
last week by George \. Blake. repre-
scnting the firm OF Evans and Vinsin-
"cr OF Elkton. for the appointment OF
receivers for the business. Mrs. Burr,
By her solicitor. William 6. Evans.
