The third number of the high
school ours will be aconcort given
by the Hagenow String Quartette,
Monday evening, FEB. 10th. l have
every reason to believe that this
number of the course will be as
satisfactory to the patrons as the
lectures have been. We will arrange
the seating Of the hall as at the last
lecture, placing two extra rows of
chairs in front, taking out the bench
es and substituting chairs instead.
We hope for a full house to this con.
cert, thus enabling US to secure
good talent for the concluding num-
Der Of this course, and no deficits.

household last Sunday morning, all

pipe in the steel range. With
a report like the firing of a b.

poured forth from where the fire
ought to be and the fire--w~ll, it
didn't pour forth. With the brav-
cry that marked his service in the
state militia, Horace rushed to the
rescue and quiet was restored. Now
he goes about humming a new ditty
about "The Warm Spell Came Too
Late"
