 If more of guimpe effect is wanted and something lighter in effect, the sleeves could be made of chiffon to match the chemisette. for thin, unlined sleeves are greatly in vogue.

A BAD FIRE.
1000 Damage Done by Fire to
Buildings on the Peter Dinger
Farm i'm Pleasant
Township.

A disastrous fire occurred on the
farm of Peter Dinger in Pleasant
township Saturday afternoon. 1t
started at three o'clock and des-
troyed every outbuilding on the farm,
barns, graineries, hog houses, etc. A
number of hogs and chickens were
burned. Besides all the harnesses
and farming tools were destroyed.
Neighbors were called by telephone
and they assisted in saving the resi-
dence, which was badly scorched.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Dinger was in the barn about two
hours before, and as he doesn I
smoke, he is at loss to account for
the fire starting. ]. S. Williams, of
DEBORAH, adjuster of the Farmers
Mutual Insurance Co. went out Mon
day and adjusted the loss. Mr.. Din
ger and family have the sympathy of
many friends in their severe loss.

An Old Problem,

In an Ohio city a wife has recently
won a divorce because, among other
things, hubby, after a hard days
work wouldn't pilot her to the mo-
vies or go out and make calls, but
insisted upon DOMINIC smoking jac-
ket and slippers and reading the pa
per as he pulled his pipe and toasted
his toes.
Note the words among other
things" OF course it takes more
than tiredness or selfishness to legal
ize divorce in Ohio. But the other
things need not concern us now The
present point is, was tired hubby's
staying at home selfish?
With all due sympathy for a tired
man, he must have been guilty as
charged. Don't you suppose wife
was tired, too? She had been cooped
up within the four walls of home all
ever was with his. Moreover, her
day began ere did no whistle ended
| it at night. With her it was work
and drudge day after day with bare
ly bit of variety to break the same
ness.
Do you wonder then, that some
times, in the evening, she wanted a
little amusement, wanted to step be-
yond her door?
OF course, it's bad never to stay
at home nights: but there's danger,
also, at the other extreme. Stay-at-
home husbands, husbands who never
take their wives calling, become stu
pid, crusty chaps, don't they? For
their own good they ought to get out
now and then and mix with their
,neighbors.

PUBLIC SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Many Unique and Ingenious Designs
Show Skill of the Pupils.

There was large attendance at
the public school exhibit at the high
school building Friday afternoon and
evening to view the work of the stu
dents, and words of praise and ex-
hibitions of surprise at the splendid
work exhibited were heard on every
hand.
All eight grades and high school
were represented by different dis
plays. The exhibits of cut-out-work,
water colors, penmanship, etc, by
the different grdaes was excellent and
drew forth words of praise from all.
The Domestic Science exhibit was
very good. There was samples of
cake, cookies, bread, biscuits, chic
ken, baked beans, ETC., which were
most tempting, and showed the thor
ough training the pupils received.
In the Manual Training exhibit the
display was wonderful. 1t seemed
almost impossible that such finely
finished furniture could be made by
young school students. The differ
ent articles included Upholstered day.
exports, tables, desks, benches and
dozens of different fine articles, some
of which are now on exhibit in Ben
Bears corner window, and anybody
desiring to see some beautiful things,
who failed to attend the exhibition
should view the things on display
now.
The fact of the matter is there
were so many handsome articles ex-
hibited in the different departments,
that to describe them would be i'm
possible here. 1t was a display that
was a credit to the school and the
teachers, and they are to be congratu-
lated on the showing.
Supt. Fleming presided over the
exhibits and explained the different
features to the visitors. Another en-
| joyable feature of the exhibit was
given by Miss Ella Treat and her
scholars who rendered a number of
Eenjoyable songs and piano selections.

The Career of Grand Opera Singer.
One of the great figures of the mu-
steal world, Madame Lillian Nordi-
ca, has just passed away. AS the
world sees her life, it was a scene
of cheering audiences, dignified by
the praise of the severest critics.
For the place which she occupied a
thousand young women are striving.
The laborious effort, the sacrifices
by which she reached success, are
not realized.
There is something pathetic in the
fruitless effort which a host of
singers are making to attain sue
cess of this kind. Every city of any
size has a number of voices which
in some respects can be compared
with the great operate stars. But
for every one that makes a large
success, whole regiment is turned
down. The same old names appear
year after year at the big opera
houses. 1t seems cruel to encourage
young people to enter a field where
so few attain the ends they are work
ing for.
The public is very whimsical. II
is not enough that a singer have vo-
cal cords producing organ tones
mellow and rounded, capable of fill
ing a great auditorium. 1t is not
enough that these be trained to the
limit of graceful fiexibility. A sing
er must also possess gifts of, en-
chanting vivacity, throwing the spell
of her vivacious and winning person
ality over the audience.
To become a great singer a CIR
ought to be under the hands of {
competent teacher by the time she
| is nine years old. She must be
practising trills while her com
rades are dancing. She must have
robust body capable of living il
drafty sleeping cars, and eating the
! indigestible food of hotels. Ald SHE
must be backed by thousands of dol
lars, to place her in the best musica
schools.
1t is a great responsibility to en-
courage those who have real gifts
but fall just little short, to try
the dizzy path to this kind of sue
cess. Better the simpler pleasures
and more certain rewards of the
church. choir and the friendly must
cal circles of home.

Home From California.

! Mr.. and Mrs. Will Yarwood re-
turned to DEBORAH last week, and
have taken up their residence on Mill
street. They left DEBORAH few
years ago, locating in Minnesota,
and for the last year and half have
been residents of California, in Butte
county, 96,miles north of Sacremen-
to. California didn't appeal to them
at all, and it proved nothing like

out the county are pleased to knew
that they have become residents of
