Mrs. Edward Scherubel has a well
trained, pure dramatic soprano voice Of
full range and much sweetness and
power. Mrs. Scherubel was graduated
from the Wayland School of Music,
Wisconsin. She continued these studies
in Chicago under the best specialists.
The new head of the school of fine
arts is about 35 years old. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Scherubel are members of the
Baptist church. They will arrive in To-
peka about the first week in September,
a little in advance of the opening of the
school term in order to acquaint them
selves with their new duties.
Prof. Pennys loss to Washburn will
be severely felt. He is a recognized
master of the art of expression and
voice culture. He had hoped to make
the musical and fine arts department of
Washburn one to be proud of and it
must be regretted that he is not per-
mitted to realize his ambitions. He will
now devote his time and talents to
building up a school of his own which
naturally will detract from Washburn.

$4,000 For A Story.

Think of it! twenty-five thous-

highest price that has ever been
paid in America to any author for
the serial rights of any story.
And consider the quality of
merit, the intensity of interest this
story must possess TO command this
extraordinary price. The "White
Company" has ever been accepted
as the greatest work by any author,
and BY far superior to his own

'Sir Nigel" says Conan Doyle
himself, surpasses them all.
