"The Lion and the Mouse"

When THE Lion and the Mouse"
is seen at the Grand on Wednesday,
Dec. 28th, it is expected to bear
traces of renewed activity and bust
ness acumen on the part of its pro-
Queer Henry B. Harris, as he Is said
to have given the Charles Klein
drama the benefit of his experience
in knowing that it means to main
tain the high standard of his at
fractions presented TO the playgoing
public. The United Play Co. prom
ises company that is said to excel
any yet seen in this popular and
pleasing drama and an equipment
of scenic accessories that has had
the attention of their corps of build
ers throughout the summer. Those
who have seen THE Lion and the
Mouse" will understand that the
latter is but a small factor in the
giving of pleasing performance as
the drama Of finance in itself of suf-
ficient value and weight to deserve
their most worthy attention but
The United Play Co., has shown in
the past that they desire each mi
mute detail carried to the point of
satisfaction to the most sanguine.
Their success in the show world
tends to prove that they have not
judged amiss in this regard.

A Prize Freak Ear.

r. H. Childress of Deloit brought
in to this Office yesterday the fun
niest freak we have yet seen in the
corn line. 1t is a good sized white
ear of corn with twelve little ears
growing on the same butt all around
it, making veritable Roosevelt
family that ought to win the blue
ribbon anywhere. 1t is a curio that
looks as though it must have been
made to be real, but it is natures
own freak.-Dennison Review.

THAT ROCK ISLAND TRAIN.
Citizens of DEBORAH Still Waiting to
Know What Rock Island Is
Going to Do.

Despite the continuation of the
effort to secure the restoration of
the noon passenger train on the
Rock Island and the continuation of
the night and morning train, which
service DEBORAH has been trying to
get for two years past, there is lit
tie new in the way of developments.
In reply to protests sent into Chi
cago, two of the officials of the COM
pany, Mr.. Jno. G. Farmer, division
passenger agent, and Mr.. Merrill,
division superintendent, came to
DEBORAH last Wednesday evening,
and met a number of the business
men, who protested vigorously
against what was unanimously
termed an unfair and unjust dis
elimination against DEBORAH by the
Rock Island. While these gentle
men were not authorized to make
any promises, they could not deny
the force of the argument put before
them, and they were assured that
the people of DEBORAH and the towns
between here and West Union would
not be satisfied with anything less
than two trains, and that they ex-
pected to continue the agitation un-
til given consideration by the Rock
Island. AS a unit the men felt that
they had been used unfairly, as
practically every citizen feels, and
they propose to know what tn dis
position Of the Rock Island toward
DEBORAH is going to be in the fut-
ure.

II Will!

Young men often make the mis-
take, when they start on an impor-
tant undertaking, of leaving open
way of retreat if things 90 too hard,
says Orison SWEET Marden, in Sue
cess Magazine" No one can call
out his greatest deserves, do the
greatest thing possible to him,
while he knows that if the battle
gets too hot he has a line of re-
treat still left open. Only when
there is no hope of escape will an
army fight with that spirit of des-
peratiOn which gives no quarter.
Many a great general in his
march on the enemy has burned
his bridges behind him, cut off his
only possible retreat, for the brac-
ing encouraging effect upon himself
and his army, because he knew
that men only call out their great
! est reserves of power when retreat
is cut off, and when fighting des-
perately for that which they count
dearer than life.
We are so made that, as long as
there is a change to retreat, as
long as there are bridges behind
us. we are tempted to turn back
when the great test comes.

General Rosecrans of General Pierce
at Stone River. Il will try, Gener-

won't do. Look me in the eye, sir,

sition?" Il will" said General Pierce,

Terrible Storm.

There was a terrible rain and
hail storm at Hydesbure Sunday
noon. Some of the hail was as
large as pullet eggs and if it had
have been driven by wind. it would
have destroyed everything in its
path. AS it was the destruction
was less than one would think for.
The same storm extended to Spald-
ing Springs where there was a large
crowd. The rain fell in torrents
and the branch was out Of its banks

one badly smashed were recovered.

Reviewing the Army of the Dead

Reviewing the Army of the Dead
The Japanese celebrate their
Decoration day better than we
Americans do" said a man who
had recently come back from
Japan. When we see the brave
old boys in blue trudging by we
cheer them, but we don't do them
quite as much reverenceas the Japs
do their heroes, because well, we
haven't as much imagination or
superstition or whatever you want
to call it. But it's something pref
ty fine.
Here's what l mean. A few
years ago l was in Toxic. 1t was
not long after the Japanese-Russian
war, and great ceremony was to
take place in Ueno park correspond
ing to our Decoration day. There
was an immense crowd of people
there, fifteen or twenty thousand, |
suppose, and they were lined up
along one side of the great parade
ground. General Oyama, who had
been in command of the Japanese
armies during the war, was present
and made speech.
Then he said: l will now re-
view the army of the dead He
turned away from the crowd and
stood facing the parade. All of
the crowd uncovered and stood ST.
lent as statues, looking toward that
big empty space.
Il couldn't understand it at first
and asked a japanese friend what
it meant. Look he whispered, dc
you not see them? The japanese
soldiers and sailors who died in the
war against Russia are passing il
review. Be still and look. A Jap
nese who dies in battle with thu
! enemies Of his emperor does no
really die at all. Because of hi
+ herOism his spirit comes back t
o Japan to roam free and unfetteret
, in his native land forever. AnC
now they are passing in review

Il looked at the general, VIII
