He was big, broad shouldered and
good to look upon. His clothes were
faultless in cut and texture. His col
lars and shoes were always indispu-
tably correct. He seemed broad, gen.
ial, prosperity incarnate The smile
on his large, rather homely features
was particularly winning. He was
always smiling. He smiled now as he
stood before the girl, even though he
was vaguely aware of some impending
calamity.

was a reverence for things artistic
which his outward appearance sue
cessfully masked. But these thoughts
were rudely quashed by his next re-
mark.
"sleep during Tannhauser?'" he
laughed. "Absurd, Amy! Who on
earth could sleep in such tin shop
racket as that?"
The girl WINGED. "Arthur!" she said
in shocked remonstrance.
He moved in his chair uneasily.
''There go again" he said. "For-

Jens Peter Larsen living west of
Kimballtion died Saturday morning
at the hospital in Atlantic where he
has been for treatment for the past
two months. He has been a sufferer
from tumor for many years and the
only relief possible was an operation
but his age and failing strength carri-
ed his away. He leaves wife and
family of grown children to mourn for
him as he was q good father and
husband and neighbour. The funeral
services were conducted from the
home Monday by Rev. Johanseu of
Botanic and he was buried in the
Elkhorn cemetery.

She watched him down the street
until he turned corner. But before
that corner was reached she had al

throat. and the houses across the street
were blurred to her vision.
Three weeks passed, and she looked
at the matter much more calmly. It
was best thus. She had been quite

That evening she went to the opera

preciated things artistic and was an
enthusiast in Wagnerian scores. Nor

evening, but Amy Train beside him

the box holders, and his enthusiasm

How Music Was Criticized in New

From Harper's Weekly.
 What happens when the local music sharp of country town is let loose in the columns of the village paper, in a critical capacity, is illustrated in the fol- lowing extract from a New England con- temporary The occasion of the critical review was the concert of the choral society, whose finest moments are thus eloquently described:
 Mrs whose reappearances in concert work locally are so warmly well comed, shared with MT. the indi- vidual honors of the evening. It was in "Elsa's Dream" beautifully artistic melody from Wagner's Lohengrin. that Mrs. -- held the very intense attention of the audience. The atmos- phere of the music, so extremely dreamy that it touches the innermost and finer feelings of a soul of music, was inter preted by Mrs. not only with that rare and graceful force with which her songs are always so bount1fully tenn pered, but with a charming dramatic feel ing which appealed to her hearers and led them into the depths which the au- thor have so songfully written into mu- slc.. All in all the numbers by the society were well rounded together and classical in their interpretation.

CONNECTICUT WILL
 BE LAUNCHED TODAY
THOROUGH INVESTIGATION WAL BE MADE BY DIVERS FOR FUR- THEIR DISTRACTIONS IN THE WAYS.

New York, September 2S.-At the New York navy yard today armed marines patrolled the inclosure wherein the final preparations for the launching of the battleship Connecticut are under way. Naval Constructor Baxter, who has gen eral charge of the shipbuildlng plant, said today:
 'It Is true that an obstruction was found on the ways down which the Con- necticut Is to slide into the water. It was sufficient to check the vessel. l will not say that it would have wrecked the Con- necticut if it had not been discovered, and exactly what would have happened I am unable to tell. The obstruction was not pile. and no dynamite was found. It was, however, nothing that could have dropped from the ship or come there by accident"
 An officer of the navy declared today that whoever made the attempt did a clumsy job.
 "The most lax management" he said, "could not help but have discovered the obstruction, and there was never any chance of the thing getting as far as a catastrophe. The scheme could not have been formed by any one familiar with navy yard methods"
 Divers have gone down and inspected that portion of the ways which is under water every day since Saturday. A thorough inspection of the whole length of the ways will be made tomorrow im- mediately before the launching.
