Another Love Tragedy.

Another love tragedy has spread excite
ment and CONSERVATION among singers
and dancers at the opera Young Albert
Girard, son of the concierge Of the opera
house, has two bullets III his cheek as
the result Of an affair with q young wom-
an. who was herself found dead by his
side with a wound in the temple.
For the last fifteen months Albert had
taken a fancy to q soubrette, who was
married, but separated from her husband.
The love affair grew. She obtained q d.
vorce only a short time ago. Now I am
free" she said to Albert; but he showed
no enthusiasm. He told her as gently as
he could that theirs had only been q
passing romance. His father objected.
The young woman bought a small pistol
and kept it in her room. The outcome

MARCHED WITH BOYS IN BLUE.


Continued from page L.
eral Logan establishing May 30 as Me-
mortal day.
Capt. o. w. Rowland read Gov. Os-
born's proclamation announcing the
date for Decoration day for 1912. 1t
was gem in very simple settirg, full
Of eloquence and reverence.
The quartet favored the audience with
another vocal nu mber. Louis Bates was
he soloist and did credit to himself.
The members of this quartet are great
favorites with the people who heard
them that day. as they have sung here
many times in the past.
Rev. Varney of Paw Paw was then
presented, rather thao introduced by
Judge Killefer, who is the commander OF
Brodhead Post, and was master of cere-
monies for the afternoon. Mr.. Varney
delivered a magnificent speech, full to
OVERLOOKING of wit, humor, pathos, laugh
ter and tears; current Of genuine rev.
erence ard love for the cause itself, and
more than that, for the old soldiers who
sat before him, a silent testimonial to
the old, old story of love of country
dominating over selfishness. Mr.. Var
ney was a soldier himself in the late war
with Spain and has little secret cham
Der in his heart where memory of his
soldier father and all soldiers will for
ever remain enshrined.
Miss Genevieve Conklip gave a read.rg
which was much enjoyed by her hearers.
A very pleasing duet was next on the
program by Miss Gladys Stoughton and
Louis Bates. This number was greatly
appreciated by the audience. "Silver
Threads Among the Gold" AS long as
there has been silver threads, and as
long at there will be, which will go on
forever, this song will appeal to people
of sentiment, and the presence of the
couple on the platform who have been
lovers for half a century, almost upset
the theory that we can grow old.
Another pleasant surprise of the after
noon was a short address by Judge Des
Voignes. The Judge is always greeted
with applause from Paw Paw audience
and they were heartily glad that the
other fellow, whoever he was, could mo-
meet his appointment. The judge re
ferred to himself as a "filler." Judge
Des Voignes can come to US and fill some
one else's place, but please do not senc
anyone to fill his, or we should not be 81
easily satisfied.
The orchestra gave another selection
and Rev. Marshall dismissed the audi
ence. The day was one Of pleasure anC

TRIO CELEBRATE
THEIR BIRTHDAYS

OF course all the people in Paw Paw
have brthdays-it is a habit that we
have fallen into carelessly; the older
ones are more than willing to cut it out,
as it were, but it is not often that GER
tain day is celebrated as was June 4.
Mrs Martha Smith had birthday
also party to commemorate it.
She knew about the former, but her
friends attended to the latter. The
gathering was held at the home of her son
Robert Smith, and she was an invited
guest presumably to celebrate the birth
day anniversary OF her daughter -in.law
the hostess Of the day. Among the
guests there assembled was Mrs. Claude
Snow whose natal day is June 4. Geo.
Harrison claims the same day as his
right to receive presents and congratu-
ations of his friends, but being so un.
fortunate as to be man, he had to be
content with hearty han3shake, but
could not join in the jolly celebration
up the street. Presents were given the
guests of honor and ice cream and cake
served.
1t is hoped that they may all live and
be happy to meet together many more
times.

CABLEGRAM BRINGS
THE GLAD TIDINGS

A cabegram from Calcutta, India,
last week Wednesday, conveyed the
glad tidings that Mr.. and Mrs. f. P.
Grimes are now "Grand-pa and Grand
ma" The little lady came to gladden.
the hearts of DR.. and Mrs. E. j. Kirby
at Darjeeling in the Himalaya Mount
aims, India, May 20. 1t IS needless to
say that "Grand-pa and Grand ma" are
about as proud as it is possible to be,
and that the many friends of the Grimes
family are rejoicing with them. Mr..
and Mrs. Kirby have been in this far
away country nearly year now. They
have spent most OF the time in Calcutta
and only recently have found it neces-
sary to seek higher altitude in the
mountains on account of the excessiv
heat.
