CHICAGO; June 24.-Driven to des-
peration by the exposition of his free
love, philosophy, as revealed in the
cult of the absolute life manuscript
thirteen" of the Book of Truth"
Evelyn Arthur See, revealer of The
cult Of the absolute life, resolved to-
night on hazardous expediency to
save himself from a felon's cell in the
state penitentiary at Joliet.
Fifty little girls, clad in white, one
after another will be called to the wit
ness stand, it is declared, to testify
that their teacher" never sought to
INSPIRE them with impure and immor-
al thoughts.
If the court should permit these
children to take the stand, Sees wife,
whom he sought to make an "ovef
mother" in his cult, will probably tell
the jury that these childish neophyites
merely escaped being Sees victims
by reason of their ages.
In an extended interview tonight,
Mrs. See outlined the rise of the cult
and branded her husband as ''proph.
et' who sought to hide his i'm.
morality under the guise of a relig
ious philosophy.
Evelyn See she said, INSTEAD ol

August. and even then it didn't amount
to much, being as all that burnt down

EDDYTORIAL,.

Being as Xmas falls on a Mon
day this yr. and being as therefor
Xmas eve falls on the evg. before,
which is Sunday, and being as il
amt httin & proper to hold a
Xmas entertainment on a Sunday
there was a good cal of talk in
Bingville about holding the enter
tainrnent on Satterday evg., but
there was them as said that if this
was did like as not the festivities
would last until after midnight, and
then that wood be as bad as hold
ing it on Sunday, SO after the time
of holding the Xmas entertainment
was discussed pro and con by all
concerned it was finally desided to
hold it on a Friday evg. last, so that
folks could stay up all night if they
SO desired, and as a result that was
what was did, and for this reason
the Bugle is therefor able to give a
full and CRATIC acct. of th0 Bing-
vile Xmas entertainment in this
ishue Of the Bugle even before
Xmas arrives.
What newspaper can beat this
for enterprise IN giving a acct. Of
a Xmas entertainment before

fether in our eddytorial cap as you
might say. IF you want to be up
to date or a little ahead Of the date
take the Buggle.
Now the Hardscrabble Banner.
our unesteemed contemporary, will
come out next week with a acct. of

but by that time the news will be
old and decreppit and nobuddy will
be interested in it. But that's the
way with the FIardscrabble Banner

If we didn't have no more snap

our motto to take time by the fore
lock and snatch it baldheaded
Therns our sentiments whereas on

ner don't seem to care a boot
whether what he publishes in his

XMAS
Entertainment. in BingviIIe This
Year Was a Awful Big Sucksess
the Town Hall Was Packed
FuII---Nothing Marred the Fes-
Invites Except Hank DeWherry
& Dad HendersOn---See Below

BinaviIle done herself proud this year
with her Xmas entertainment which was
give at the Town Hall on Friday evg.
last and them as was present including
most everybody in Bingville & vicinity
except Samantha Deevers who is on the
sicklist and has been for 10 these 80
WIS. past and expects to be for 80 years
more perviding her general health keeps
as good as it has in the past, united IN
saying that the Bingville entertainment
which was give m the Town Hall beat
ennything of the kind ever give m the
history of Bingville.
The doors of the hall was throwd
open about p. m. and folks begin to
crowd in SO as to be sure of getting a
seat and as a result them as was be-
hinthand had to stand up. When p.
m. come there wasn't even emmy standin
room left being as the hall was filled to
suffocashion.
Rev. Samuel Moore the beloved pas
tor of the Bingville church opened the
festivities with prayer which was hssend
to with deep reverence and there was
only one thing which broke the sollum-
ness of this occasion and that was
when Hank Dewberry who was standin
back BY the door accidentally shifted his
feet being as he was tired standin up
and accidentally stepped on his hound
dogs foot which follered him into the
hall and the dog grabbed Hank by the
calf of his leg and Hank kicked at the
dog which he missed and kicked Peter
Hoskins on the shin and Peter told
Hank if he'd step outside he'd give him
a good thrashin.
At this iunckshure Rev Moore stop
ped prayin and says, brothers, broth
ers, your talk is unseenly and you both
ort to be ashamed of yourselfs7 Hank
and Peter then shut up and Rev. Moore
finished his prayer after which the
church choir sung a nanthem the solo
part of which was took by Miss Amelia
Tucker our raining society queen. Ane-
liza done noble in spite of the fackt that
she had turrible cold in her head and
had to sing through her nose A few OF
her notes was a leetle bit squeaky but
otherwise she done fine.
Follering the anthem the Bingville
Horn Band which was up on the plat
form played a seleclzshion entitled THE
Star Spangled Banner" Deacon An
drews who set beside US leaned over
and ho1iered in our ear desiring to know
what the band was playing and when
we told the deacon the Star Spangled
Banner" he said it didn't sound ike it
to him. Probably it was played SO loud
that the deacon couldn't tell what it was
But the band boys got along fine except
that when Hold Quigly who plays the
trombone went to push the thing out to
make a low note blamed if the from
bone didn't come apart in the middle
and it took Hold most all the rest of
the evg. to git it together agin- Also
Jed Peters who leads the band with a
little stick when he went to make a
flourish had his foot to slip on him and
being as he was standing on the edge Of

the platform he fell down about tf1re,
feet and hit his head a crack on the
front pew which made him scratch his
hair some for the time being and raised
bump as big as hens egg.
Little Johnny S1ocomb recited a reci-
fashion entitled "'Twas the Night Be
fore Xmas" Johnny was turrible scairt
when he comes out and his eyes bugged
out and his face was as white as sheet
and when he went to start he was
choked up turrible but after he got I'M
her Roadway he recited so fast that no
buddy present could understand word
he said
Solo, Ring Out Glad Bells" by Ma
riah Ann Hawkins. Marian Ann aint
got a very strong voice and to make
matters worse she had on a pr. of new
corsets which nearly squoze the broth
outen her and how could she sing with
a pr. of new corsets on all laced up
tight? Anser-she couldn't.
Recitashion by Willie Perkins entitled
How Sanity Claws Stuck Up the Chin
b1ey.7 This was very laffable and con
vu1sed the entire audience. Willie
speaks right up and amt afeard of no
buddy when it comes to speakin peeces
in publick-
a speech, saying that Sanity Claws would
now appear and distribute the Xmas
bags of candy and a orange among all
the little Sunday School children pres
ent. The Rev. Moore said it was rec
markable how the attendance of the
Bingville Sunday School had increased
during the week or two jest before
Xmas, and he hoped the attendance
would keep up indefinite The Rev.
Moore a nounced that Sanity Claws
would now make his appearance and
old Dad Henderson stepped into the
hall from a side door dressed in a bear
skin coat and fur cap and wearin
false whiskers made outen white cotton
batting and carrying a basket on his
arm filled with bags of candy and
oranges.
Dad he went among the children
handing out the candy and oranges, but
when he come to little Willie Perkins
Willie grabbed two bags of candy and
2 oranges and Dad told him to put one
back, but Willie said he wouldn't, then
dad begin to shake him, which made
Lem Perkins, Willies father, mad and
Lem he made grab at Dad and grab
bed him By the whiskers which come off
in LENS hand, after which Dad hauled
off his bearskin coat and wanted to fight
Lem and would of did so if preventing
hands hadn't interefeared. Dad didn't
look much like Sanity Claws with his
fur coat off and his whiskers gone and
all the children begin to boiler and laf,
which made Dad mad as wet hen, 50
he went off home in disgust and said
he'd be dad-bIamed if he'd acl1t as Sanity
Claws again as long as he lived
The Rev Moore then finished distrib- |
uting the candy. after which the band
played a few more selecl1shions and then
the meeting was adjourned to the Town
Hall basement where refreshments was
served, consisting of pies, cakes, dough
nuts, appels, sweet cider, coffee and 9TH |
er edibles too numerous to menshion.
1t was after midnight before them as
was present begin to depart to their
various homes conscious OF a evg. spent /
