Olaf Halls is almost too well known to
the st. Paul public to need more than
passing mention He Will play one of
GIieg's violin sonatas at the concert in
the Peoples church. He distinguishes
himself by his scholarly and finished style
OF playing, and true information. Mr.
Halls has seemingly made no attempt to
play any special line of music, but en-
braces in his repertoire a large numbar
OF all classes of violin numbers. It is
always a great musical treat to hear him

The Pike Theater company, whose ex-

been one of the best productions seen
in ST. Paul for a long time, will, for the

Edwin Milton Royle's great comedy
drama Friends" Mr. Royle's play will
be in evidence from Sunday to Wedncs-

Pike company will give a magnificent
revival of Sir Charles Youngs MASTER
piece of modern dramatic writings, Jim

seems reasonable to suppose, will he

hands of the versatile and talented ar
lists of the Pike company. The story
of Friends is somewhat different from
the average comedy drama, and there

reputation as an original play.
It tells Of the friendship of two young

One Of them, Jack Paden, is the on

Between these two there exists a bond

covers that his friend also loves her.
This woman is Marguerite Otto, prima

ATTRACTIONS AT HARRIET.

Display.

I Banda Rossa and a Pyrrote clinical
Display.
Patrons of Lake Harriet will be afford
ed every opportunity for enjoyment OF a
varied entertainment at that delightful
resort on July 4. The management of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company has
decided to give on the evening Of the
Fourth a spectacular display of pyro-
technic geauty.
The Banda Rosa, which has been Civ
en- so complimentary reception during
the week VIII give two concerts every
day next week as heretofore, with
programme for the Fourth specially ar
ranged Of American patriotic compost
lions. Signor SoTTentino, whose mar
velous range Of musical comprehension is
the wonder OF his hearers, has caught the
intent and comprehended the beauty OF
American music, with the result that he
plays it admirably. The great director
is more than half an American in his
admiration for the institutions and peo-
pie Of the republic, and he has discovered
beauties in American compositions that
are seldom brought out. This afternoon
the Banda Rosa Will give a concert be-
ginning at 315, and this evenings pro-
gramme will commence at 8:15. The
time OF the concerts win remain the
same throughout next week
During the week now passed there have
been very large and exceedingly enthus-
iastic audiences at every concert, and
the work Of the band is certainly superior
to that Of last season. The reason OF
this is not hard to ascertain. Signor
Sorrentino determined last winter that he
would make the Banda Rosa the finest
musical organization IN America.

CHANGE OF SEED.

The seed used on any farm should
be changed every three years at least.
In making such change of seed, grains,
roots and plants, it should be remem-
bered that the new seed should al
ways come from the north of where
you live and not from the south, and
that If your land is sandy the seed
should come from a stiff clay soil and
vice versa. Good money can be made
by any farmer by pursuing an intelli-
gent course in this matter of changing
seed. The farther north peas, barley,
wheat, oats, fax and potatoes can be
obtained for seed, the better will it
be. The same rule will apply largely
to apple trees. Seed corn obtained
from northern fields will also mature
earlier and thus be surer crop.

The Polite Policeman.

1t was crowded on the avenue, and
there was O constant stream of vehi-
cles coming and going. At the crossing
of two Of the most congested streets
stood police officer, tall and COM
manding, irreproachably dressed and
with an eye that compelled obedience.
When the tide Of travel surged thick
est, little old lady came to the curb
and looked out into the impossible
stream Of carriages and wagons. Evil
IDENTIFY she wanted to get across. The
gallantry of the big policeman took
possession of him. He approached her
and held up his hand.
Don't be afraid. I'll see that you
get across safely" he said.
The old lady shook her head nerv-
ously and seemed more undecided than
ever. The policeman came nearer.
Taking her arm, he started to lead her
across, stopping the steady stream of
passerSby in wagons and carts. The
old lady hung back, protesting. When
the slow way to the other side of the
street had been made, the officer re-
leased her arm. She looked at him in
dazed way and said with some sharp
ness: What on earth did you want to
drag me across that road for? I had
an errand to do on the other side."-

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

All over the west where the old road
district, comprising four or five sec
lions Of land, has been obliterated and
the unit of organization become the
township, and the road work placed in
the hands Of one or more competent
men, an immense improvement in road
work is noted. More work is obtained
for the money spent, and much better
and more permanent work. While
there is yet some reluctance on the
part of taxpayers to surrender their
right to work out their road taxes and
pay such taxes in money, still this idea
is getting more and more of a foothold,
and the time will come in the future
when the road tax will be paid in mon
ey, just as other taxes, and dollars
worth Of work obtained for every dol
lar spent.

GIVE US SHORTER PAPERS.

The average paper read at the farm
institute Is too long. No paper should
require more than Is minutes to be
read. About all that any man or wom-
an knows on any subject may be told
In 10 minutes. The public, is very,
very patient and long suffering, or
many a man with long paper or a
long talk would be choked off and sat
down on. On all practical subjects fine
rhetoric, classical quotations and poet
ry are out Of place; neither should
there be one-third of a paper devoted
to an apology for writing it, nor are BIZ
ographical sketches of the writer's or
speakers family or of himself ever in
good taste. If q subject is to be treat
ed, it should be well studied and di-
gested beforehand and the meat in the
cocoanut given to the public. Life is
short, and men are very busy and have
no use for long papers or speeches.
Boil your thoughts down and be sure
to take the scum from them when
doing the boiling.

ABOUT FARM BOYS

There is q great deal Of interest
taken at the farm institutes in the
question Of how to keep the boy on
the farm, and some of the best Of the
advice given how to do it comes nat
urally from those who never lived on
a farm and who never raised a boy.
These seem to know all about it. We
have lived on the farm and raised the
boys and so perhaps don't know much
about 1t, but we will venture the state
ment that more depends upon the
boys dad as to whether the boy will
stay on the farm than any other one
thing. If the old man is hard with
his boys, exacting, masterful and arbi-
trary, the boys will always leave as
soon as they can, no matter how kind
and sympathetic mother may be. But
If man will treat his boy as his
friend and companion, entering into
the boys pleasures and sports, sharing
his troubles, interesting him in the
farm work in a financial way and
make a real friend instead of little
roustabout of the kid, there will be
ordinarily no fear of the boy leaving
the farm at the first opportunity. More
depends upon the boys father than
any other thing.
