Dear Helen Rowe:
I will tell you about a beautiful pos.
tai card the Junior sent me.
The name is "On The Schauenberg''
1 have looked up this much and it is
all I can find.
The Schauenberg is a picturesque
pine clad hill in the Thuring1an for
ests. Here a rich merchant Ludwich
built a castle in 1045, in which his
son Ludwick lived until 1910. Theil
successors sold the building to the
Reinhardsbrunn Monastery the abbots
of which allowed the castle to fall tc
decay. /,
In the picture a big pine tree with
a wooden fence around 1t Is in the
foreground.
An old man sits as If he were
asleep on one Of the seats while 8
little girl with a wheelbarrow Is
standing just outside Of the fence.

GREATEST BLIZZARD
Of YEARS IS RAGING
ANOTHER THAW STORY
Rumors Say Efforts Will Be Made to
Secure Legal Separation of
Thaw and His Wife.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Feb 19.-Much attention
is attracted by the renewed rumors
that proceedings to bring about a
legal separation of Harry Thaw and
his wife will be filed soon. The re-
ports disagree as to whether annul-
ment sor divorce proceedings will be
instituted. 1t is positively known
that Tnaw's family are hostile to Ev-
elyn Thaw, but that appearances were
kept up as best they could during the
recent trial, as Mrs. VIM. Thaw engi-
neered all arrangements for the mar
riage of her son with his girl wife.
Insanity grounds cannot be urged for
the annulment of the marriage.
Mrs. William Thaw in an interview
is quoted as saying she has told Harry
that he must divorce Evelyn. 1t is
said Evelyn is willing to be divorced,
providing the settlement made on her
is sufficient.

Good Music.

Decidedly the best number on the
program at the Temple Theatre last
night was the overture rendered by
the Triece Orchestra This is not al
lowing anything for the fact that the
orchestra is a home organization, but
is put on the level of criticism given
on the rest of the performance. The
fact is this orchestra is developing in
to a splendid musical organization
and renders most excellent music.
The overture last evening was well
selected and was rendered in an ar
tistic manner. Palestine should be
very proud of such an organization.
