claiming to all the world how I'M

is in vaudeville.
But behind the scenes in her dress
ing room Belle Baker, wrapped up in
two warm kmOnos. despite the warm
weather, was shivering with nervous
ness and worry, and was far removed
from the joyous and joy inspiring ar
fist who wins the hearts of her audi
ence by her excellent comedy work her
rich voice. and her winning personal

"Oh, Pm always So nervous every
Monday" said Miss Baker, looking at
me with great big mournful eyes.
But this is Tuesday, Why should
you worry? Besides, you're a head
liner and you always make good
Doesn't the electric sign say so?"
Belle Baker wouldn't be comforted
She is not yet nineteen years old
that is, her actual age; not her stage
age.
Her pretty round face is stiH that Of
child, and only the great, big, dark
eyes show that Belle Bakers career
has not always been an easy one, and
that her success has been earned by
much work, hard struggle and anxiety.

Baker told me about her life. because

girls from the mad desire Of breaking
into vaudeville, it will show Others

enough to learn by their own mistakes
that this great country of ours is full
Of opportunities for the girl with the

The third anniversary of the local
lodge OF Odd Fellows was celebrated in
fitting manner at the Eagles hall last
Thursday evening. The spacious hall
was well filled with members OF the
order and their families, and everyone
enjoyed splendid evening. Vocal and
instrumental music, card playing and
other forms OF social entertainment con-
sumed the early part Of the evening.
About 1000 o clock the entire number
were seated at two tables, which were
almost the full length of the hall, and a
delicious oyster supper was served,
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The rest OF the evening was spent i'll

This seems to be the latest mode adopt
ed for showing appreciation for divine,
and the Irrigationist tells about it as fol-
lows:
"Wednesday evening the members OF
the ladies Social Union completely sur
prised their pastor, Rev. c. A. Narnum,

eroned Ivy their husbands. Mindful OF
the proverbial love of the Methodist
preacher for chicken, each one carried a
good plump pulet, and when he opened
the door in response to their knock they
threw them in To him. Though thor
onghly taken off his guard he soon re-
coverd and few hours were spent very
pleasantly. There is no stronger earthly
tie than the one that binds in one the
hearts of Christians, and such events AS
these serve to make that tie stronger
still. "
