KEOKUK PEOPLE WILL
TAKE LONG TRIP WEST
Siade and Miss BellevilIe viii Tour
Nest in Musical Act Arranged
by Former.

@. K. Slade who has been popular
musical entertainer since the open
ing Of the Hippodrome theatre last
August has severed his connections
from the play house and will leave
the city today. At the opening OF the
Hippodrome he presented xylophone
specialties, at the same time taking
the responsibility of advertising man
ager for the house, and portion OF
the other duties in connection with
the Office.
Although it has been strenuous
/, task to work up his musical special
| ties In addition to the other duties,
he has successfully carried out both
ends of the work.
Owing to the fact Of playing before
practically the same audiences during
his stay here, he has earnestly en-
deavored and succeeded in changing
his act twice each week on musical
numbers including xylophones, piano
and miniature bells, playing on the
best bills with acts entirely new to
1 the people and received his share Of
applause which was certainly due him.
Recently Mr. Slade framed up new
act with the assistance of Miss
Blanche Bellville, introducing electric
al chimes; the original setting of the
chimes as seen on the stage designed
by Bert L. Fremmer, stage manager
at the Hippodrome.
4 Their new act afforded a very pref
ty stage setting OF piano, xylophones,
electrical chimes and miniature bells
Both their single and double numbers
!, made decided hit with those who
were fortunate in hearing them. The
team has been popularity known as the
Hippodrome duo, although both have

Many Thinos Happen in Communities

POOR WoMAN's CASE
Makes Her Living by Washing and lie
Deprived Of Hydrant Water in
Her Humble
Home.

There are many things happen in
communities that never show in the
light or have record in the annals Of
those communities which IL printed
might call to mind derelictions OF
duty from man to man or woman to
woman which II given to the world
might quicken the consciences OF
derelicts and make the world better.
They are cast aside into the rubbish
pile of immaterial events and the
world goes on unmindful Of the
little duties Of life, the errors or sins
remain uncorrected and somebody
must suffer In every little case And
in almost every case the suffering
falls upon those least able to bear
the suffering.
A little case, as matter of Illus
tration, is told of woman who is
reliable and Industrious and who
earns her daily bread by the sweat Of
her brow-at the wash tub. She rents
little home and pays the stipend
promptly. She Is somewhat handi.
capped by demands beyond her own
living expenses. In the present
crowded condition of Keokuk 1t is
hard some times to secure roof to
cover you. Hence renters who are in
humble circumstances are compelled
to yield to the whims and caprices oil
their landlords or find themselves
homeless without place to seeh
security from the storms Of winter
For about two weeks this woman has
been without water in her little rent
ed home. The hydrant became out Of
fix, which the individual who receives
the rent declined or refused to have
repaired. The water company to pro
tect themselves from waste by leakage
shut of the water and there she is
dependent entirely upon washings
she goes out to do, without even wat
er to do her own washing and cooking
When asked why she didn't hole
cut month or SOS rent and compe

that her rent was already paid ahead
There seems to be no recourse without
creating the disfavor of landlord

must work for their own living ant
for others whom they love with thu
tenderest affection, feel something o
the touch Of dependence and yield *
mistreatment rather than have the il
will of those from whom they rent.
Some landlords perhaps do not real

THE GODDESS OF DEATH
The coloners brother was Of
fcially adjudged to have died
from natural causes, and the flu
neral was over. The colonel was
seated in his smoking room with
Inspector James of the Indian de-
partment of Scotland Yard.
"You say the jury was wrong,
and that my brother was muir
dered," said the colonel mourn
fully. Il won't dispute your
word. But don't you say a word
against my man. L brought him
from India five years ago, and
he's absolutely honest and de-
voted to me-"
Religious sentiments are
stronger than duty" said the in
spector thoughtfully. "But sup
pose you show me the idol"
The colonel led the way into
his study at the far end of the
house. 1t was an ordinary room
except for the hideous, leering
figure that occupied a niche in the
wall at the side opposite the
door.
''It has a history of murder?'
asked the inspector.
Kali, SIR, is the Indian god
dess of murder" answered the
colonel. "This statue comes from
a famous temple in Benares,
where thousands bowed before it
on every feast day, and each time

Well, sir, / loaned the goddess to
the British museum, and every
time an East Indiaman arrived in
port those black rufians would
hurry there and worship it. Three

dead in front of it. That scared
the authorities, and they sent it
back to me with their compli-
ments. And now my brother
drops dead In his tracks when he
comes in to look at it."
The colonel's voice broke. He
started from his seat and began
pacing the floor. James stopped
suddenly, and in rising knocked
into the colonel. Both fell to the
floor.

James, "I'm afraid 1 hurt you"
He helped him to rise. please
