The noted prima donna is a pretty good sport but she knows what she is worth and issued an ul- timatum to the effect that if there was to be any revision in ner tariff it would be revised upward The company disagreed and the prima donna promptly signed a contract with a Mr Ellis of Boston for a year.

The Chaplin Craze


 Charlie Chaplin is certainly the most talked about man in the movies today, everywhere one goes one hears him talked about. Livingstone Larned in the New York Review speaks of "tEe Chaplin Craze" and here is what he thinks about it: They've Charlie Chaplin lodges,
 And Charlie Chaplin days; They serve poor Charlie Chaplin up
 In many Chaplin ways. They feature him on Mondays,
 on Tuesday it's the same; Col darn the Charlie Chaplin stuff,
 It's HI to have a name. They've Charlie Chaplin buttons.
 They've Charlie Chaplin nights; They paint his figure six foot tall,
 They drape his name in lights. They feature him on Wednesdays,
 On Thursday he will play: They drag out films they photo
 graphed
 Five years ago, today. They've Charlie Chaplin features,
 And Charlie Chaplin drops" They have his haIlyhoo at work,
 And Charlie Chaplin cops. They run his reels on Friday,
 He's on the payday perch. And they have a Chaplin minister,
 In a Charlie Chaplin church.

Alex Ross, of Ripon went into the
grain fields of the Northwest and not
long after a body, thought to be his
was brought to Ripon for burial. The
body had been so badly mutilated in
a railroad accident that the features
were unacceptable and the relatives
placed it in the grave and mOurned
his loss. A few days ago the relatives
received letter from Ross saying that
he had been held up and robbed of all
his possessions shortly before the ac-
cident in which it was supposed he
had lost his life. 1t is thought that
the robber was killed while carrying
Ross union card and other papers,
and these being found on the dead
man, led the authorities to believe the
body to be that of Ross. They accord
ingly sent it to the relatives for burial.
Barthold Keller, the Massbach, ILL.,,
man who was shot recently under
mysterious circumstances, died in a
hos pital at Freeport, of internal hem
orrhage. At the inquest, Otto Keller,
the eighteen-year-old son and his
mother, gave evidence indicating that
the farmer had been cruel to his fam
lily and that just before the accident
Otto had been beaten severely by his
parent. A struggle followed in which
the gun the boy had picked up, was
discharged, the bullet lodging in the
fathers stomach. The jury returned
an open verdict and made no recon-
mendation. The quarrel at the time
of the accident grew out of dispute
over a dead goose which the farmer
had found in pasture and blamed
the son for it's being killed. The tes-
timony indicated that Keller was do
nestle tyrant and had beaten his wife
and children many times.
Since the burial people of the town
ship of Derinda, Illinois, in which
Keller lived, went to the dwelling
house with search warrants to en-
deavor to find property that they had
missed in the past. One man found
an overcoat stolen about nine years
ago. Another recovered gold watch
and a pair of spectacles and a coat
and vest that were stolen three years
ago. Four pairs of pants and gold
watch and chain were identified by
another party.
