We were at Moran Tuesday night
and heard the orchestra of that place
play three selections, aud it was worth
the trip out there to hear it. We
haven't heard such music since we
left Germany. Under the leadership
of u. j. McGlashen the orchestra has
made remarkable progress and Moran
ought to be, and doubtless is, very
proud of it.
an. d. discusses the question
"ShOuld Girls PrOpOse?'' this week
by making the rather startling asser-
ton that they always have! We fear

But it is bright article, neverthe-
less, and well worth reading.
The REGISTER job office has been
so crowded with work that we have
been obliged to hire an extra man
part of the time during the past week

keep them both employed all the time.

of humbug ought to be about worked
out by this time.

The orchestra is talking about put

liver. Both would live but neither
would thrive.
