Audubon

Almost every city has clubs of chill
dren who form little bands to protect
birds. Sometimes these clubs are
named for John James Audubon. Au-
dubon gave nearly all of his life to
painting birds. and to learning their
secrets. About 75 years ago Au-
dubon wrote one of the very first
books about our feathered friends. AS
he was an artist he painted the Great
ures from life whenever he could, but
sometimes he had to mount stuffed
birds. Then he would fasten their heads
and wings in natural positions with
threads so that he could paint them to
look alive
So much time was taken to study the
birds as well as to write the books and
draw the pictures, and so much money
was required to print the volumes that
only wealthy people could afford to buy
Audubon's Birds" The author himself
lost $25 900 on his writings. Today we
think these books very queer because
each of the four large books OF Audu-
bon's Birds is more than yard long
and over two feet wide. 1t takes two
men to carry one volume. In all four
books Audubon has written about more
than 1000 birds, and he has pictured
more than 400. Do you know why these
books are so large? All of the pictures
are life size, even the eagle with his
broad wings is pictured in his natural
strength and power Hundreds OF bird
books have been written since Audubon
wrote his books, yet set of this bird
lovers works is worth $4,000

How Helena Became a Princess
BY MABEL ANNA CoBuRN


Once long ago, so long I can't tell the
number of years, there was an old wood
cutter living in the woods with his
wife. They had but one child who was
very pretty But she would have been
much prettier if she had had better
clothes
This child was named Helena after
one of her great aunts But she liked
Princess Helena best, and it made her
feel very happy to e~called so by her
father.
One day when she was walking
through the woods she came to a large.
beautiful lake, and as she drew near
she heard it say, drink OF me, drink
of me-" AS she drank a beautiful lady
appeared. This was her great aunt
Helena, who told her not to be fright
ened. She then gave her ring, say
ing, Turn this around three times
each night until l. come to you again
am your great aunt" She then disap-
peared
When Helena went home she said
nothing of what happened in the woods,
which was very wise Of her Three
nights after this a woman came when
she was asleep and told her of her
life. She also told her to go into the
woods the next day and she would
meet a dwarf, who would tell her
something. Then, wishing Helena good
luck, she left.
Three years had now passed and
what the dwarf told her was aoout to
happen. AS she was going through the
woods one day kings son happened
to be out riding and met her.
"Oh, what beautiful creature" he
said, come here and see me. Whose
child art thou?''
Il am Don John, the wood cutters,
daughter"
"Ah! OF you | have heard answered
the prince, and thereupon he asked
Helena to go with him to his father

Evidence which is piling up against
Irwin Lidecker, the sixteen year old
horse thief, of Bremen, now in the
local Jail, seems to indicate that al
though young in years, the youth is
old IN experience in crime His ar
rest in South Bend, was effected
while he was attempting to rob a

Eustace Poledor, a Greek, at Spring

prowling about the confection stand,
and when attempting to enter, a
watchman fired two shots at him,
from a revolver He was arrested by
South Bend police, who soon received
telephone message from Sheriff
Voreis of Plymouth, telling of the
theft of the horse and buggy belong
ing to Jacob SchlOsser, which occur
red at Bremen, the night before. Lii
decker was identified by the descrip-
tiOn furnished, and was brought to
Plymouth by sheriff Voreis He has
been out of the Plainfcld reforma-
tory only two months, being paroled
The offense for which he was sent to
prison, was for horse stealing al
South Bend, which occurred on Oct.
1908. Ii has been learned that be-
sides the horse and buggy, Lidecker
also stole bicycle at Bremen, be-
longing to John Milliard. The lad
seems to be degenerate and klepto-
maniac. Before being sent to Plain
field for grand larceny, he was re-
peatedly guilty of minor thefts, from
which his father was obliged to extri-
cate him by settling. Attorney

ARE REUNITED
AFTER THIRTY
SEVEN YEARS
SISTER VISITS E. M. GELLER
AND JOHN GELLER WHOSE
WHEREABOUTS HAD BEEN
LOST
Moved West With Older Sister
When Ten Years Old and Not
Heard From
Since. =

The closing of a story of human
interest IN which heart throbs family
separations, anguish, and disappoint-
mems figured occurred In Plymouth
on last Saturday evening when Mrs.
Il. l.. McNair and her husband of
Arkansas City Kansas, arrived here
to visit with her brothers Emanue,
and John Geller. The brothers had
not seen their sister since she was
ten years of age or thirty-seven
years ago. Mr.. Geller stated to a Tri-
bune reporter, Monday morning, that
he could have met his sister on the
street and not have been able to re-
cognize her at all. However he said
he finds that she very closely re-
sembles his long departed mother.
Until three months ago, when John
Geller received a letter from his Sis
ter, neither knew of the others
whereabouts and the letter to Plv-
mouth addressed to John Geller, was
chanced by Mrs. McNair In an effort
to locate her brothers. Today they
are happily reunited, and are busy
telling each other of their expert
ences during the past thirty-seven
years, and endeavoring to become
acquainted, with each other. They
are as strangers, as the sister was
only ten years of age at the time
of the separation, and is now a mid
die aged lady. The story is most asst
onishing, and seems almost imposs-
ible. Emanuel Geller told the story to
a reporter Monday morning. "My
mother died when my sister was but
weeks Old Then there were two
sons, and two daughters. Being un-
able to care for the little one, when
she was six months old, she was
placed in a home here in Plymouth.
Her foster parents are now long
dead, but the little girl did not fare
very well. Her surroundings were
not the best, and | determined to
take her away from them. According

was ten years old, the family moved
west. Through some reason or other
we did not hear from them, and I'm
a few years my older sister died.

SIZES UP THE SITUATION.
Frank Shutdown Has Article on
Court House Situation in
Argos Reflector.

Under the heading Compromise
or Blackmail-W Which?' Frank Sun
down writes as follows in the current
issue of theArgos Reflector:
"There is a pretty piece of Wall
Street jugglery going on now in
Plymouth between the big -Four, =
on one side and A. W. OKeefe on the
other. to see who is to get the benefit
of the fight in regard to the court
house plum. 1t will be remembered
that the bid for repairing the court
house was let to 0'Keefe and he had
proceeded with his work to some
extnt and had the house in poor
condition for reception when Ness,
Metsker & Company put in an inj-
unctiOn and at the same time stopped
all the proceedings. O'Keefe won
most of the first heats when the case
was sent to the appellate court.
This Is a sort of an annex to the
supreme court. and made up of poor
lawyers who have had few if any
briefs of their own.
In this ease Ness, Metsker & Co. lost
everything they contended for except
to annoy 'the repair hands and hold
the matter at a standstill at the
expense of the taxpayers of the
county. One of the strange things
about this decision is that Ness,
Metsker & Co. have never pub
lished this decision in their paper
and thus have left their exclusive
readers entirely in the dark as
regards the facts thereof.
Now comes in the cheeky part of
the whole cOcOanut, or it may mean
blaekmail. Ness, Metsker & Co.
sendto \. w. O'Keefe a PROPOSE
tion for settlement in which they
propose to do certain things and
stand aside. providing the said o.
Keefe will put them in possession
of a certain amount of cash, and pro-
vide them with an immunity path in
suring them from prosecution for
any of their failures TO comply with
the law. etc, etc. Now, as the young
man O'keefe is now in the business
and the commissioners are probably,
members of the ''HarOld SkimpOle
Club they are disposed to treat
this matter i'm a serious manner with
out stopping to think that neither
Ness & Co. nor O'Keefe have any
more right to settle this matter than
the man in the moon.
That the ease is one of revenge
and done in the first and last
instances to annoy the people as well
as the only bidder for the work, the
reader has only to read the following
from the official paper of the 'Big
Four Mr.. Ness is in "A position
to make the court house matter very
expensive to contractor O'keefe by
simply leaving it as the courts have
ruled Now. if they had added.
that the courts have ruled that Ness
has nothing TO do with the matter at
all. and that O'Keefe had the only
bid that the commissioners could in
any manner entertain. and that his
bid was imperfect in that he had
copied a part of the specifications in
his bid, they might have let in little
light on the matter.
As the ease now stands, / reiterate
my former statement 'There Is not
a shadow of doubt but O'Keefe will
win in the end; and by the "end' l
mean the Supreme Court of the
State-not an annex
