Chief among those who will receive

Women's Amateur
Minstrels Make Hit

The fifth annual amateur minstrel
was given Wednesday evening at the
chicago theatre, Seventh and Wa
Dash ave-, by the Women's Amateur
Minstrels. 1t was the most elaborate
affair given by the amateurs in the
state of Illinois, by either white or
black. The house was packed to its
capacity; many white faces were seen
among the audience in the large au-
ditorium.
The costumes worn by the women
taking part We're gorgeous. Miss
lone Harris, who took the honors of
the night, was dressed as an angel
that had fallen from above. The
"Shrapnel Blues" which was sung
and displayed by one of the company.
reminds one of the old Eighth of their
glowing achievements.
There were many out-of-town WIS.,
itors, who will have much to carry
back home with them in the way of
enjoyment which they reaped from
this minstrel show.
Some of the fancy dances which
were danced by members of the min
strels could not have been danced any
better by some of the best toe or any
other kind of dancer in existence.
The feature songs of the night
were: "The Shrapnel Blue" which
was written by one of our own, Mrs.
Marion Lee Bell. The number Jeane
was sung by Miss J. Smith. "That's
Why They Call Me Shine" reminds
one of that famous comedian. Many
other numbers We're sung and dis
played by the company. The famous
Byron Brothers Orchestra furnished
the music.

have set a mark for the mems ANA

Husband Says Wife
Wooed His Brother

+ st. Louis, Sept. 19-Suit for divorc,
has been filed in circuit court by Dave
Schlittler against his wife, Florence
BOIL Minnesota avenue, charging she
endeavored to make love to his brother
and tried to persuade him to elope
with her.
The petition alleges Mrs. Schlittlei
accused the plaintiff as posing as un.
married and said he had made appoint
ments with other women. The petition
recites that such accusations were
made on information received by Mrs
Schlittler from fortune teller, and
when suit was instituted against the
fortune teller by Schlittler his wife
"agreed and conspired with relatives
to go to sanitarium, so that case
could not be made"
The complainant asserts his wife
continually nagged him and would go
to the home of her grandmother, where
"the grandmother laid the cards
against him." The petition recites that
after these visits his wife would come
home enraged and call him vile names.
According to the document the
Schlittlers were married Dec. 81, 1913
and separated March 8, 1919. Schlitt-
Ter seeks the custody of their son
Oliver, years old.

Lyceum and Chautauqua people of
a few years back remember Carl Sand
burg as a writer and news man for
the old Lyceumite and later he did
some work for the Platform Maya
zine. We first ran onto Sandburg at
Smyrna, Del, and have watched him
grow as the years go by.
"America has always shambled to
its destiny" says Edith Wyatt in one
of her essays; Lincoln as statesman,
Grant as military genius, Whitman as
poet, each shambled to his destiny.
That Carl Sandburg "shambled to
torical prize. He plays the banjo, is
quit grammar school at 10 and began
driving a milk wagon in Illinois prai-
RE billiards.. His formative years
were spent working in brickyards and
potteries, and riding "rattlers" to
Kansas wheat fields, where he swung
a pitchfork at the thrashing machine.
He worked his way through Knox col
lege, Galesburg, Ill.
J. V. A. Weaver in a short sketch
of Sandy printed in the Chicago Trib-
une set forth these facts:
He washed dishes in Denver hotels,
shoveled coal in Omaha, saw active
service during the Spanish war III
Porto Rico as a member of the Sixth
Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Later he
was secretary to the mayor Of Mil
waukee during the first Socialist mu-
