The tendency in so many of the sleeves
to have shaped cuff is to be commend
ed, for it is style much more becoming

below that, the regular sleeve continues,

When The Maennerchor Sings.
From Sundays Sentinel.

From Sundays Sentinel
The following meritOriOuS pOetical
contribution will be appreciated by
all who have beard the MaennerchOr
sing:
OF all sorts of music that like to hear,
There's one which quite differs from all other
kinds;
It's one that appeals with great force to the
And almost entranced, the attention it binds.
rings.
You can't hear to think, when the Maenner-
Choir sings.
They march to the stage, full of doubtings
and fears,
And timidly wait for their leaders commands;
With dignifed slowness at last he appears,
And makes deep bow, while his friends clap
their hands,
Then turns to the singers, and both arms he
swings
Gives them the key-and the Maennerchor
sings.
The songs that they sing are all lofty and
grand;
It's Come TO the Woods" or perhaps "Hun-
ters' Song"
But the meaning is something 1 can't under
stand
And the time that it takes them is always too
For one drops note, while the next to it
clings;
They do quite as they please, when the
Maennerchor sings.
There's always one man at the end of the
row,
Who's singing so fast it's like running race,
And technical music he little can know;
For first he sings tenor. aud then he sings bass,
And into the notes every effort he brings
To undo the rest, when the Maennerchor
sings.
OF classic composers there's nothing know,
In musical matters I'm very ill-bred;
These faney-priced players that let their
hair grow.
In pounding the keyboard, play over my
head:
/ don't like sonatas or any such thing.
But I'd like to join in. when the Maennerchor
sings. n. E.P.

Messrs. M. E. Prentiss of Madison
and B. V. Prentiss of Milwaukee, mag
netic healers and osteopaths, who have
been at the Dixon House in this city
for the past four weeks, are making
some remarkable cures without the
use of medicines. No matter whether
we believe in their methods of treat
ing disease we must accord them full
credit for the many favorable results
accomplished. M. G. Meddaugh, a
resident of the west side, who has
been a great sufferer with Sciatic
rheumatism for several months, was
carried to their rooms in the Dixon
House and in half an hour was made
to walk without pain. He called at
our office and could not say enough
in behalf of the doctors for the relief
they had given him. There are many
others, that we know Of, among the
long list of patients treating with the
doctors that are receiving help and
will eventually be entirely cured. 1t
probably makes no difference to sick
and suffering humanity whether a
man treats by christian science,
osteopathy, magnetic massage, allo-
pathy, homeopathy or otherwise so
long as those ailing and sick receive
neip and are cured. The doctors are
certainly receiving many compliments
for the successful treatment of many
chronic cases in our midst.

An entertainment interesting and
pleasing in the extreme was that
given by G.. L. Burgderfer. Michigan's
noted impersonator and hnmorist, at
the First Presbyterian church last
night. Mr.. Burgderfer is an imper-
senator of exceptional ability, and was
especially good in an original creation
entitled 'Silly Sam" in which he
perfectly initiated with his voice over
twenty different musical instruments
and animals. His selections from
Riley were very cleverly rendered and
much enjoyed. Mr.. Burgderfer is as
good in the more serious efforts as in
the lighter ones, and gave seventeen

thrilling effect.-Duluth Evening
