TROUBLES DOUBLE
FOR SICK WOMAN

That troubles never come singly
is the opinion OF Mrs. Mary Oster
Helm. who has been Ill in the county
hospital for the last two months and
was summoned this week to Denver
to appear at a divorce suit brought
by her husband. George Helm. who
left her two years ago after six
weeks Of married life. Mrs. Helm
has not heard from her missing
spouse during his two years alb
sence.
According to Mrs. Helms story
the six weeks following her marriage
to Helm was rather an unusual and
extraordinary honeymoon as he daily
threatened the lives OF her two lite
children, by former marriage. and
finally when his cruelty became un-
bearable left them. Mrs. Helm has
been Ill this winter and was Obliged
to come with her children to the
county hospital.

NINE. RUEGGER
GREAT ARTIST
ON VI0LINCELL0
First Appearance in Greeley With
Fortni"htly Musical Club Is a
Triumph-Concert Success

Nine. Elsa Rueger, with her in
strument of infinite charm, was the
stellar attraction at the third con
cert in the artist series under the
auspices of the Fortnishtly Musical
club at Christian church Tuesday
night With the possible exception
of her first number, two movements
OF the heavy and extremely technical
Boccherini sonata, every contribu-
tion she made to the program was a
delight With all cue respect to
staid old Boccherini it is certain that
his compositions for cello are not
so enjoyable as those of the more
modern authors. but the audience
forgave when Nine. Ruegger follow
ed with delightful excerpts from
Pepper. Schumann, Chopin and
Schubert.
Real artists on the cello are ex-
tremely rare in the west so that a
double welcome is extended by
music lovers when one does wander
SO far from the music centers OF the
east. With a magnificent technique
at her command, pure fntonatfor
and a smooth, strong bow. all giver
finish by the delicacy attained on q
stringed instrument only by a
| woman. Nine. Ruegger won the dill
| letante and music student alike. Her
unweildlv instrument crooned and
sang and sobbed under the magic
touch o. the artist. and 1t was not
remarkable that the audience insist
ed uron a return after the closing
number on the program.
Miss Cole. accompanist for Nine.
Ruegger. gave a group of piano num-
hers. the most ENJOYABLE of when
was a nocturne by Scriabine for the
left hand alone Remarkable con-
troll OF the left hand was evidenced
| In this.
The Fortnishtly chorus was seri-
ouslv handicapped by the absence OF
nearly a score of members, due 10
bad throats. The inccnvenient ar
rangement Of the church for choral
work was apparent. but not sumo
iently so to badly mar the effective
ness of the several numbers sung.
II was necessary at the last moment
to substitute Miss Cole In the obll-
cato solo in "The Dawning OF the
Dav" a cantata by John Hyatt
Rrewer Director Wilcox came
through bravely under adverse con-
ditions. however. and the concert
as whole will go into the history
of the clubs undertakings as pro-
nounced success.

AWAY DOWN SOUTH.

Dear Daddy Jim and Cousins:
guess you will be quite surprised to
hear from little girl away down
South, won't you? | see the other
Cousins describe themselves, so |
will try to describe myself: l am
siXty-nine inches long, weigh about
one hundred and thirty pounds, have
blue eyes, dark hair and have fair
complexion. When it isn't so sun
burned, you can not tell who [ am.
[ am sixteen and in the eighth grade
at school. [ think Mr. Watson is the
greatest man living, or that has ever
lived. Papa and mama are two Wat
son patriots So I believe like they
do, that Mr.. Watson is doing more
good for the people than any one
man living. / enjoy nothing better
than reading his Jeffs, which is the
grandest pair of papers that ever
leaves the press. L certainly enjoy
the way he does up the donothings
and the deserters. [ will close by
answering and asking some ques-
tions: Marie Lee, George Washing
ton was the first person that wore
false teeth in the United States.
Maize Boiler, I should like very
much to visit you in the summer.
Laura Jenkins, girl is mentioned
twice in the Bible. Now, Laura, if
[ am correct [ shall expect a card
from you. All you Cousins and Dad
dy Jim should be down here to go to
school with me. l am trying to get
an education. | wish Mr.. Watson
would send me one of his and Mrs
Watson's pictures. 1t would certain
ly be appreciated. Well, promided
to answer and ask some questions
and ring off, but forgot to stop.
I will ask a question get my sun
bonnet and go. Who was called "The
First Gentleman of Georgian" What
are the first and last verses in the
Bible? Who is called "The Sage of
McDuffie"? Who is the greatest man
of today in your opinion? I will ring
off, hoping to hear from some of the
Cousins. MAMIE BECKUM, Alley,

Dear Daddy jim: 1t has been
some time since 1 last wrote to the
Post Card Club, but if anyone does
not object, l will write another short
letter. [ suppose nearly everybody
is going to school. [ am, and am
having a jolly time. How many Of
you Cousins like music? | sure do;
we have an organ, but [ do not play
very much. Papa gave my sister AMI
me a cotton patch, SO we bought an
organ with the money. [ notice that
most of the Cousins think that boys
should have more education than
girls. think girl should have just
as much as the boys, for if they
never do anything but keep house,
they need an education to do it prop
erly. AS it is getting late, 1 will
give a pen picture of myself, and ski

Dear Daddy Jim: Will you admit
a stranger from Oklahoma? l have
been reading The JEFF only about two
months and have become very much
interested in it. I have never seen
any letters from this part of the coun-
try, and [ guess that Mr.. Watson has
never spoken anywhere near here.
Would like very much to have him
visit this part of the world. 1t seems,
since the riddles are being left out,
everybody has turned all attention to
History. I think it would be nice to
have some mathematical problems.
| do not mean catch problems, but
true examples. Neither do I believe
in asking questions just merely to see
if the other fellow can answer it, but
ask for information. If you know
thing, it is reasonable to believe that
others know it too, so do not ask 1t.

FOR EQUAL EDUCATION.

Dear Daddy jim: l come again to
be admitted into your happy band of

lieve the boys and girls should have

cation if he expects to hold high Of
