THE FoRTNIeHrLY

Given Saturday. aef

The Fortnightly program of Satur-
day afternoon was one Of the most
pleasing of the season and was enjoy
ed by good sized audience. consid-
ering the unfayorable weather
Mrs. Elizabeth Grinnell Van Pat
ten of Burlington. who made such
favorable impression last year in the
Peace Propaganda program, was
heard in lighter vein, reciting two
short plays, THE Twelve Pound
Look" by James NJ. Barrie and "The
Open Door by Alfred Sutro. She al
so contributed at the end an amusing
little farce OF the anti-suffrage variety
which left everybody in good humor.
Both plays were given with infinite
understanding. no shade of meaning
being lost. Mrs. Van Patterns art
enables her seemingly to think the
thoughts of her characters, and she
portrays them with an ease which is
delightful. There is no straining for
effect, no leading up to climax, yet
there is always an abundance of pow
er and the ability to apply it intui.
lively at the right moment. She has
all the gifts of the true artist and to
hear her once or twice only in
creases the desire to hear her again.
Club members are already asking for
a return engagement next year.
The program was opened with a
song by Miss Vera Suter, accompan-
led by Mrs. George w. Keeseman. She
sang Chaminades "Rosamonde' in
French very sweetly and between the
plays sang Bartlett's Elaine" both
songs giving much pleasure.
AT the brief business session one
name was voted into membership and
notice was given of the annual musi.
Gale on February 5, the program to
be given by the Cadman Concert com.

Charles ley, the efficient first as,

came this peculiar smell, somewhat
akin to burning rags and stale rubber

enough, as he approached the north
west corner of the cellar underneath
a pile of combustibles, the stencil be-
came horrible and the smoke more
dense. Turning on his heel, as he is
wont to do when excited, our hero
fought his way up stairs. In fact in
this emergency he turned on both
heels, incidentally stepping on his
accelerator (pet CORN and made the
trip back to the stage in safety with
his nose folded over and halo OF
smoke about his head.
Before getting out into the open
air he was seized with burning
pain over the heart. Ready help was
by this time at hand and upon inves.

A CULINARY COMEDY.
One Of the Trials of a Husband whose
Wife Can't Cook.

They were Il newly married couple
The wife, though fair cook, did NOT
know how TO make the things his
mother had prepared. And this vexed
the husband, although he was disposed
TO be indulgent for the sake Of har-
mony. But there WAS one point upon
which he sorrowed not little. Ills
wife could not make edible corn bread,
and corn bread was the food upon
which he was reared.
One day girlhood friend Of the wife
visited her and, after assisting in the
preparation of luncheon, accepted an
invitation to stay and eat it with the
newlyweds. The husband arrived, and
the guest and he took their places at
the table while the wife went to the
kitchen to bring some forgotten dish.
Before his plate was the husbands
corn bread, but it was a miserable fail

He became confidential.

apologctically 10 the guest. Just have
look at that corn bread. But you
mustn't let the wife know what said.

asked.

An hour later, after the husband had
gone to the Office, the chorus of two
laughing women's voices merriiy re-
sounded through the household of the
ucwlywcds.
But the wife has not yet told the
husband that her guest made the corn

Accused Of Being Murderers Of

aud Frederico Duran, the Mexican
cattle thieves, condemned to die by
the Carranza authorities for the kill
ing of Bert Akers at San Lorenzo, a
few miles below the international
boundary Friday, were executed at
daylight in the cemetery at Juarez.
The body OF Akers was buried here
today. The Duran brothers died curs-

Bernardo appealed for mercy on be-
half of his brother, FREDERICK.
1T is unjust to kill two of us for

The bodies Of both Mexicans were
buried Immediately but that of Ber-
nardo, who confessed to having fired
the shots that killed Akers. was ex-
humed to satisfy doubt concerning
the identity of the slayer.
Douglas Downs, an American, who
was with Akers, seeking stolen cows,
and who escaped the bullets OF the
Mexicans, declared last night after
seeing Bernardo Duran. that the pris-
oner was not the man who shot Akers.
Downs was at the JuareZ cemetery
when the face of the executed man
was exposed today and admitted he
had been mistaken last night.
The execution was attended by fifty
Americans OF whom a number were
women.
