LOST BOY ExclTEs PEOPLE.
Little Son Of VIM. Leese Strayed OF,
But Found Later.


The slow ringing of the fire bell on
the market house about 11.30 o'clock
today attracted quite a lot of people
to the Mayors Office to see what was
the matter. 1t developed that the
little son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Lease

and could not be found.
The mother, almost frantic with
anxiety concerning the whereabouts
of her little boy, who had disappeared
from home a couple hours or more be-
fore that, notified the Mayors office,
that a general search might be insti-
tuted for him.
Shortly after the ringing OF the
bell, however, a boy passed along
Maple avenue, nea West Race street,
and recognized the lost child, took
him home. lei three blocks away.
and restored him to his fond parents.
The boy is too young to give any ac-
count of his ~wanderings, but he knew
he was lost.
Mr.. Clarence E. Martin went to
Cumberland this afternoon to spend
Sunday with his wife who is visiting
there.

M EMoRiAM.
In Remembrance Of Bertha A.
Simpson.

In the early hours of morning,
Just before the break OF day.
One bright light vent out in darkness
One sweet spirit fled away.
An angel stopped and called so softly
Another jem u Master needs.
One more pearl he wants this morning
Follow me, He gently leads.
None more lonely In it's sitting,
Can he find to fill the place,
No other flower In the garden,
So full of innocence and grace.
From our hands then held together,
Our prayers to keep her were In
vain,
Our Master sent for her this morning
Took her from her life of pain.
Though her place is left so vacant,
And our hearts are sick and sore,
He who needs her sent his angel.
For He needed her the more.
BY her uncle.

At GENNETT TONIGHT.

The dramatic intensity Of the third
act OF "The House of Thousand
Candles" is almost without parallel in
modern plays. Its tempestuous scene
occurring in the widest of hurricanes
sweeps all before it and eliminates
with climax that simply means cur.
tain call after curtain call. THE
House OF Thousand Candles" will be
given at the Gennett this evening is
a drama that unfoids story of rare
stage characters in equally rare sur
roundings. There is stamp of novelty
on each scene and incident. Its
weirdness simply compels attention
while it's mystery lightened by laugh
ter is of that kind that has served to
carry the production to the topmost
wave of success. Its presentation will
be marked with every care to detail
as each Of the four acts will be mount
ed entire. The company including
George ID. VIM and Rosabelle Les
lie is said to be fully capable of ham
ding the exacting scenes in a most
satisfactory manner.
