When Ruth Bryan married the Bos-

Leavitt, the militant leader OF the
unbathed Democracy kicked and re-
fused to be comforted. He declined
to attend the wedding and brought in
a minority report that sounded like
an assault on Port Arthur. His
daughter, having clear majority OF
the convention, went on calmly with
the regular order and let the colonel
sulk to his hearts content.
In due time an event happened In
the Leavitt household, but still he
made no sign. This was two months
ago and the colonel has been fretting

the melodrama would have been for

selves with stage snow. visit the old
homestead and cunningly permit
grandfather to stumble over the baby
as he went out to milk the cows. But

Rev. Mr.. Kerr made the adrdess of
the evening. having "Bobbe Burns"
for his theme. 1t was an eloquent eff
fort. Mr., Kerr, by birth, by training
and the bent of his own character, is
especially qualified to interpret Scot
lands immortal bard, and the address
brought out strongly the poets over
shadowing characteristics, and the
great mission that he accomplished
during his short life.
The profound effect that Burns poet
ry has had upon the thought of the
world was graphically brought out.
THE lark of poets" Mr.. Kerr called
him-"one who has gripped our hearts
with hooks of steel and touched our
souls with heavens melody"
So successful was the concert that
1t is now proposed to follow 1t with
Tennyson or a Longfellow evening
the first week In March. 1t has been
proved that Kendalrs talent is equal
to the occasional least with the
help of the good people Of Lewistown.
