Many Wonder.

Many wonders how it is that pin
worms and stomach worms get
into little children, or how a tape
worm, 800 feet long, can get in
and exist and grow inside Of a
man, as it sometime happens.
They may well wonder, for 1t is a
great mystery. However, many
now know from experience that
Mothers Worm Syrup will rid one
of intestinal worms and greatly
improve the health after the
worms have been destroyed and
expelled. It is absolutely a harm
less remedy to take, and as it only
costs % cents, all should try il
who suspect worms to be the cause
of their i'll health.

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man
that is the order of woman's pre-
ferences. Jewels form a magnet
of mighty power to the average
woman. Even that greatest of
all jewels, health, is often ruined
in the strenuous efforts to make
or save the money to purchase
them. If a woman will risk her
health to get coveted gem, then
let her fortify herself against the
insiduous consequences Of coughs,
colds and bronchial affections by
the regular use of DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup. 1t will promptly
arrest consumption IN It's early
stages and heal the affected lungs
and bronchial tubes and drive the
dread disease from the system.

A Woman Who Never Laughed

There lives in Philadelphia a
young woman, twenty-five years
old, who has never laughed. It
isn't because she is a contrary,
she finds the world a merry place,
and devours funny books and the
jokes in the newspapers, but she
never laughs over them. This al.
armed her parents after awhile,
and they consulted eminent spec
ialists, for such a case as this had
never been heard Of before. But
all the physicians could do was
to assure them that Susie-Susie

Many of the sugar mills along
the Teche are putting IN oil-burn-
ers for the use of fuel oil this COM
ing grinding season. This action
has been brought about by the
possibility of their contracting for
their needed supply with a pro
liability of their getting it as
needed. The mills using fuel oil
last winter suffered serious de
lays by not being able to get the

All New York real estate appears to be

New Workers generally are Growing
over the commanding position in the finan-

financial men are strong in their state
ments that New York is already the fnan-

tion. There is plenty Of money to be had
in New York If the borrower can produce

COMMENCEMENT WEEK
Yesterday Was Baccalaureate SUN
day at the Agricultural School.


Rev. J. D. Paxton, pastor Of the House
of Hope church, St. Paul, preached the
baccalaureate sermon at the state agricul-
tural school yesterday afternoon, and IN
the course of his address sharply criti-
cized the wording of modern-day church
hymns. He thought their sentiment weak
almost to mawkishness, and deplored the
usage of songs about the meek and ten
der lamb The spirit of the times, he
said, was aggressiveness, and the young
man who is to make success in life,
he thought. should be aggressive, but not
radical. The address was heard by the
members of the graduating class and their
friends including about 400 undergrad
yates of the lower classes.
The commencement exercises will con-
tinue through Friday, the annual alumni
ball being held Friday evening. Friday
afternoon the graduation exercises will
be held Governor Van SAINT and Presi-
dent Northrop will deliver addresses. On
Wednesday evening the class day exer-
cises and class play will be given. Thurs
day will be alumni day, the alumni as
ISOLATION holding business meeting in
the morning, and the afternoon being de-
voted to the reading of papers. The
alumni banquet will take place Thursday
evening. |iasE ~4s~4

NORWE DRAMA
Elaborate Presentation of Ibsen

Elaborate Presentation of Ibsen's
Hermaendene Paa HeIgeIand.
The performance Of Henrik Ibsen's
HERNIA endene paa Helgeland" at Nor
mama hall by local amateurs deserves
considerable praise when considered pure
ly as the work of dilettantes This play
of 1bsen's, unlike his latter sociological
problems, dates back to the Viking age
and Is full of the wild, fierce spirit of the
time. 1t is intensely dramatic, the tragic
element being present from beginning to
end and demands the most vigorous act
ing In other words, it is quite beyond
the capacity of amateurs. While most of
those who participated deserve much
praise 1t was conceded that Valborg Ofte-
dial quite outshone the other members of
the company. The role of "Hjordis" is
the principal one in the play and it was
intelligently portrayed by Mrs. Oftedal
It's demands ould tax the voice and the
, powers of the strongest person, but she
sustained the dramatic strength of the
part to the last. Emil Mengshoel as
"Ornulf' and Mrs. Sannes as "Dagny',,
were on the whole acceptable Arne Of
site made a very handsome appearance as
Sigurd, but could not always be under
stood. The play was correctly costumed
and was very we'll staged and managed.
Mr.. Sannes taking only minor part in
order to have time to look after the stage
management. It was the most elaborate
presentation of Norwegian drama ever
given in this city and the management de-
serves commentator for its efforts.
