MI. Won Ogden Vogt Arrives and

Mr.. Won ogden Vogt, general secretary

I o'clock this afternoon and went almost
Immediately to the First Congregational
Church, corner of 10th and G streets
northwest, where he held two confer

inheritance to the Christian Endeavor
movement He met by President
owen p. Kellar of the District Union,
who introduced him at the conference TO
those with whom he was not already ac-
quainted.
1t is Mr.. Vogt's desire to learn as nearly
as possible the views of various influen-
tiaI pastors whose churches have Chris
-tian Endeavor societies on plans for los
tering this movement and charging It's
influence for good among young people.
In the course of his remarks ne sug-
gested that step forward might be taken
by encouraging individual societies to make
their activity conform, in the details at
least, to the individual needs OF the
churches Several other ideas were ad-
vanced and in general the pastors with

The Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton will be permitted to hold their next an
nual congress next May in their new Con-
tinental Hall, now In course of construc-

permission to make certain notifications
in the plans, in order to permit the daugh-
tiers to occupy the building temporarily as
the meeting place for the congress.
Building Inspector Ashford in report on
the application of the builders, which is
approved by Commissioner Biddie. states
that the proposed temporary notifications
suggested by the builders may be made
with safety number OF window open

Aztalan was not inclosed for purposes or

D The purpose of its inhabitants In con-

remarkable art of Aztalan is Its brick walls

rectangular and regular in form and size,
as are the modern brick. They are simply
balls Of plastic clay welded by the hand
into small bricklet of irregular form
about the average size of snow ball. The
material used was the glacial yellowish
red clay of the vicinity, and the color OF
the bricks is red or light yellow. Under
the glass the scrapings appear like
handful of crystal sand.

fish river, about two miles from Lake Mills.
The enclosing walls of the town site are
about 700 feet on it's TANKS and 1.5OO feet
long. The river served to complete the
Enclosure of seventeen acres of land.
Within and without the Enclosure there
are round. truncated and oblong mounds.
Just beyond the Enclosure walls the land
rises abruptly over twenty feet to the roll

In January. 1903, a circular germ. be-

The Spell of the Theater.
From the London Pelican.

The glamour of the stage! No one can de-
fine 1t or explain it; no one who has fallen
under it's spell can resist it. You see 1t at
work in the great artist who, confident Of
success, already crowned with laurels,
comes daily down to rehearsal with the
zest and buoyancy Of youth. Safety does
not touch him-a blase actor is an unheard-
of anomaly. A man may act for twenty,
thirty, forty years, and IL he is stricken
with illness his one lament is that he can
act no more.

the construction is fireproof, and he believes
there will be little danger of fire if proper
precautions are taken.
The building inspector, however, does
not approve of the suggestion that a tenn
porary hot-air furnace be installed under
the building. He believes that instead or
a hot-air furnace steam heating plant
be placed in the basement for use during
the congress.
