Brookline affair was "frame-up" and that

times in her life, at which times she
discreetly said farewell before IL p. m.
Anyhow, she made plant, Green, at
their first meeting. lured her to interest
with the assertion that he was an old
friend of her husbands and that he'd help
her to collect past due alimony. The
court was sufficiently impressed with her
story to throw out more than half of the
evidence against her, though the Brooklin0
affair was allowed to 60 to the jury. The
sealed verdict was in favor of the pretty
defendant. and the court granted her ak

chances with the other girls. I'm going

money. There are things more worrisoms
than those that hackle the show girl"
She admitted, however. that 1t wasn't
wholly impossible that domesticity, prop
erly presented. might drag her away from
the stage. She gave a little recipe for
happy married life and specifications for
the ideal husband thus:
"A woman may love man as deeply
as she pleases. provided she doesn't set
him on pedestal and fall down on her
knees and worship him. Let her tell him
of her love. but she must not let him. In
receiving that love, get her soul at the
same time. Do for him as for others, but
do not make the mistake Of doing for hin
alone.
"The ideal husband must love and fear
God; go to church every Sunday; love
animals. flowers. music and above all
children. He must be college graduate:
tall and slender; have blonde hair but not
be handsome; he must love outdoor lifo
and sports; be willing to tramp: be ready
to play like boy when his work IL done:
be leader Of men. . statesman, Nam,

she has won. She began the first that
she remembers of life as the protege of
kindly but tiresomely unimaginative peo-
pie in London. She used to slip into
the plush and horsehair parlor to play
on the piano. It was her only amuse-
ment.
Finally the piano playing got to be
a necessity and she determined to know
more about it. She began to hoard what
little money came into her possession.
One night she donned boys clothing and
slipped across the channel to France.
She earned her way to Vienna and there
sought out LeschetiZky. She forced her
way into his studio and demanded q
hearing. He was too surprised to re-
fuse Her playing seemed to make an
impression. After it, the little girl, in
ragged boys clothes, told him that she
had no money.
The great teacher turned her over to
his wife as a sort Of adopted child and
she became his pupil.
She studied there three years. At
the end of that time she returned to
London to make her debut on the same
program with Melba. After that there

and bushed to look like the hair of Pad
erewski and List. She wore coat OF
black velvet, fashioned on the lines OF
the masculine garment, over soft shirt
with a Byron collar. Her severely plain

no jewelry or ornament of any kind.

FOUNTAIN CITY BUSINESS men GIVE
CLAUDE KEEVER TOKEN OF ESTEEM

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind, Jan. l.
When the business men of this place
presented Claude S. keever with gold
handled umbrella as a mark Of their
respect and friendship, when they
learned that he was leaving to make
his home in Richmond, the following
presentation speech was made by their
spokesman:
The marks and tokens of friendship
are always appreciated, but when they
come unsolicited as the voluntary Of
ferings from the hands and hearts of
those with whom associations have
fastened the bonds of true friendship
and having stood the test of fidelity
are willing to endure to the end, then
these tokens carry with them an aSSur-
ance that is as tenacious as life, as en-
during as hope and as true as faith.
Speaks of Occasion.
'An occasion commemorative of
these attachments is what brings us
before you today. And as token of
the esteem and friendship entertained
for you by the people of this place we
are here to present you this little to-
ken.
And should YOU ever experience the
time when friendships decay and from
loves shining circle the gems drop
away, please look at the little gold or
nament that adOrns this gift and re-
member that as true as the gold stands
the test of the fire. so true is the
friendship Of those you leave behind
who wish you naught but a life of hap
pineSs and success. We learn that you
have decided to leave us and we are
here to say i It We are sorry for it.

While we are satisfied you do not go
in quest Of stronger hands or more
willing hearts, we are sure that on
whomsoever your mantle may fall it
can never be worn by one more prompt
at the post Of duty. or more deter
mined that right shall prevail and duty
be performed at every point. No
doubt many little perplexig things
have come up during your six years of
serving the people of this township as
their trustee.
Praises Faithful Service.
1t affords the people no little pleas
ure to know that by your diligent eff
forts you have managed your duties
in such a manner that you have paid
out the debt that has SO long hung
over this township and to your credit
belongs the spoils. You came to this
town when a child two years old. The
people have watched you grow from a
loving dispositioned child into a useful
and noble manhood. BY diligent appli
cation to duty, integrity and fidelity to
every trust, respect to your SuperiOrs,
affability to equals and kindness to
interiors you have gained a position
among the people of New Garden town
ship Of which you may well be proud.
No tribute of true friendship was ever
more wOrthily bestowed or accOmpan-
led with more sincere wishes and ben
edictions. Again we say we regret to
lose you from this place, and the best
wishes of all go with you. That you
will succeed we know and commend

A Warning to be Needed?

n The Indianapolis News hits the nail squarely
ton the head in sounding the following warning
to the Democratic party of Indiana:
1t was pointed out in The News recently that
the Democratic party of Indiana would, if it iden
titled itself with the machine, go down with it,
since the machine doomed. There
thousands of Democrats in this state who
Democrats principle, but who will not hence
forth vote to strengthen the gang that has
brought the party to it's present low estate. The
question is whether they will, with the help of
grand juries and courts, and through their
independent action, be able to free the party of
the burden that now rests on it, and to rescue
it from the clutches of men whose interest in the
party is measured only by what they get out
of it.
There must be a sharp drawing of the line if
the party is ever again in this state to win the
confidence of the people. Dom Roberts, for in
stance, the indicted mayor of Terre Haute, can
not be allowed to pose Democratic leader, or
to have any influence in the councils of the par
