Ye Olde Folkes Concerto

| This entertainment, given by the
choir of the p. M. church on last
| Friday evening, attracted an unusal-
ly large audience, that literally
packed the spacious lecture room
which ordinarily seats about 500
people. Conservative estimates place
| the number in attendance at some
thing over 800 people. That the con-
| cert was a success is admitted by all
who were fortunate enough to gain
| admittance, The audience showed
appreciation through the entire pro-
gram, which lasted fully two hours.
The popularity and capabilities of
the choir leader Mr.. j. =. Hawkins
| were never more fully demonstrated
than in the success of this concert.
Few there are who have held this
difficult position for over IA quarter
of Il century and retain the good will
and esteem of both choir and congre-
CATION through all the changes that
have taken place during that long
period.
TO individualize as to the merits of
those who took part unnecessary,
as all performed their parts so
well as to meet unqualified approval.
The members Of the choir are I'M
stinted in their praise of those who
so generously assisted them in max
ing their concert such a splendid sue
cess. Miss Jones singing was warmly
applauded and her popularity evil
denced by being recalled each
time. Miss Sprague and Miss Han
kins mandolin and piano duet ELECTED
great praise from all, as did Mrs.
Crum's vocal solo and her very ex-
cellent make up of the typical old
woman, Mrs. fuckers speaking
piece was delivered in her inimitabe
manner and brought forth storms of
applause. Mrs. Grace in her role of
the Cornish woman evidenced her
familiarity with the true Cornish
dialect by he rendition Of the story
of Jimmy Francis and His Offclide."
Miss Gales piano playing is always
enjoyed, and her performance on
this occasion was in Keeping with
her former efforts, and added much
to the enjoyment of the evening.
Messrs. Jno. Oates, Stacy Kitto and
Leslie Harker, as solists on the flute,
trombone and clarinet, added fresh
laurols to their fame as among our
best and most popular musicians.
The quaint costumes worn by the
choir and all who participated
evoked most complimentary COM
| ment, and there was general Won
der where SO many really old gar
| ments were to be found. Certain it is
that many IA cemely maiden and
wife was attired that night in gowns
| worn by somebody's mother in the
| long ago, and many of the older
people in the audience were carried
back to their childhood days by see
| ing these costumes and hearing
again the good old songs they heard
in infancy. The general verdict is
that the =. M. church choir is second
to none, and the members may be
assured of an appreciative audience
whenever tn~y announce another
concert. The concert netted the
handsome sum Of $4,000, which will
be used in the purchase Of new mus.
ic and new organ for rehearsals.

finishing touch to her hardships, at

The part Of Miss MeConnel's story
which follows is remarkable, but that
such experiences have been known is
vouched for by woOdsmen. She says
that the buck came into her shelter
and lay down beside Asr. After
awhile he went away, but soon re-
turned with two does.
The does were more ttmid, and soe4
ran away. The buck went witA them,
but after a few minutes returned and

and then went away.
IT may be that 10 the animals pres

and thus saved her life. At any rate
1t is thought that the buck did save her
life at the expense of his swH. for ii Is
thought he was the buck killed by Re
