BLACK CAT HOODOO
ANIMAL CROSSED ROAD IN
FRONT OF CAR AND THINGS
HAPPENED.

Hudson, Nov. 17.-There are those
who regard the "queering" qualities
of black cats as established science,
rather than superstition. Peter Heg-
ness of Hudson is not inclined to su-
perstition-not the least-but he
feels sure that black cats can do un-
canny things, even to an automobile.
Mr.. Hegness and Oscar Hall, a
friend, decided to take an automobile
trip to Elk Point. On the way down.
between Chatsworth and Akron, a
black cat run across the road. AT
that time Hegness remarked to his
companion that something would
surely happen. The journey to Elk
Point was made without further Incl
dent.
On the return trip to Hudson, the
car was not working right and Heg-
ness, although possessed of consider
able ingenuity, could not discover
what the trouble was. He had mo-
mentarily forgotten about the black
cat episode.

However, the incident of the cat
was forcibly recalled to the minds of
the two men, for. when the car reach
ed the exact spot in the road where
kitty had crossed their path, it sud
denly stopped and refused to go any
farther. Then it was discovered that
the oil feed pipes had burned out and
that the babbiting had all burned out
of the boxings.
The car, in fact, was in a terrible
state-so bad, that it had to be pull
ed to the nearest town by team of
horses supplied by nearby farmer.
The automobile required extensive re-
pairs and the two men had to return
to Hudson on railway train.

THE ROSARY
TO BE PRESENTED AT THE
OPERA HOUSE SATURDAY
EVENING, NOV. 20.

At the present day when so many
PLAYS are being presented which deal
with questionable subjects, ii is re-
lief to turn TO drama which
breathes purity and good fellowship
and leads the way to brighter view
of life and humanity.
Such play is THE Rosary writ
ten by Edward r. Rose expressly Tor
Messrs. Rowland and Clifford, and
produced by them.
The theme of the play concerns
man and woman happily married ana
surrounded with every luxury that
money and culture can secure. But
the husband is an unbeliever. an
atheist. without faith of any kind.
There is a Earring note In the
household harmony personality al
war with the peace and love or lts
members. No one notices this untii
friend of the husband comes,
Father Kelly, priest of the modern
world with deep insight into human
nature and a divine love for his fel-
low men. And when stress and trou-
BILE come, when the home is wrecked
and husband and wife are brought
down to the depths of suffering
agony. it is the priests calm courage
and faith that saves them, drives
away the clouds of suspicion, doubt,
mistrust and brings them both into
the sunlight of hope and love.
The play will be at Madison opera
house next Saturday, November ~,
with Mr.. Blosser Jennings in the role
of Father Brian Kelly, the priest.
