THINGS WORTH WHILE.

To look and see the beautiful
This world holds to the view;
To listen and to hear the songs
Which Nature sings for you.
To taste the sweet of all you eat,
To smell each fragrant flower;
To know, to feel that God is real,
To live within the hour.
To love one who deserves your love,
To face all with smile,
To reach goal by trying hard,
These are the things worth while.

NEW BURLEsQUE STUNTS
The High School Girls at the Dewey
Are Clever.

s'The High School Girls a new bur,
lesque company, presents many new ana
catchy features at the Dewey theater
this week. =
The work Of the entire company is
we'll above the average. Nat and SOL
Fields, who have been here in burlesque
before, are better than ever and handle
the comedy parts cleverly. Attic
their work is along the boisterous order,
it is not overdone and the audience is
kept in good humor: Whirli-Gi is
the name Of the burlesque which is
written in two acts and it is especially
arranged for good chorus work. The
chorus is not exactly composed Of high
school girls, but they are not bad at
that, and make the show go with a
snap. The dances and ensembles are
we'll executed and numerous changes OF
costume aid in. the effects.
Another strong feature Of the show is
the music. The comedians are now al
lowed to sing anything they choose, but
are furnished with new songs that are
well up to the standard and are great
Improvement. '.-
The Flying Banvards, who have
pleased Minneapolis audiences before
head the olio bill with their startling
aerial act. Hughes and Hazelton have
a clever farce that takes well. Billy
Hart and Emma Weston have a dialoe
that is not tiresome, while Gilman anc
Francis present an excellent and refined
dancing act. .-.

Glasier dwelling. DR.. Glasier looked from his
front window, and, seeing the sentry at the
corner of the bank and the pa trolls pass, took
in the situation at glance. Earl Craig was
dropped from back window and he gave the
alarm. The fire bell was rung and soon the bank
was filled with an armed posse. The robbers es

ment in Episcopal Church Explained.

All Saints and Gethsemane parishes
united in a service at the latter church
last evening when, two. addresses were
given on HThe Laymen's Forward
Movement,'' by Rev. A. MEG. Bede Of
Rolla, N. 4 D., and Clement Chase of
Omaha, chairman Of the movement for
the sixth district. The purpose Of the
movement, which is less than two years
old, is to interest the men Of the Episco-
pal churches in missionary work. Mr..
Chase explained that the movement is
now well organized and in charge of a
governing board. The work is being
advanced by distribution of large
amount Of missionary literature. Mr..
Bede explained the movement as plan
to further the schemes Of the church s
general board Of missions; to bring the
board in active touch with the church
members.
MIR: Bede is an example Of the able
frontier clergyman. On one occasion
he became a plasterer and helped to
plaster his own chruch. On another oc.
| casion he considered it in his line of
| duty to thrash the town bully, which
| he did thoroly. A few years ago fuel
! famine struck his town, and all the
| churches-except disclosed for inabil
ity to heat their buildings. Mr.. Bede
drove fifty miles to the nearest grove
cut cord of willow, and the next Sun
day had the only open church in thu
village and all the other clergy were
numbered in his congregation.

far beyond the expectations Of most Of those
in attendance.
This is the third day of the second annual

swamped by the number of exhibits: There are
more than 700 birds besides other forms of pet
stock. In the aquatic fowl exhibit is a flock OF
fourteen wild mallard ducks that were raised by

WILL PLAY WAGNER
Symphony Orchestra and Kirkby-Lunn
Give Fine Program Tomorrow.


Tomorrow evening at the Auditorium
will occur the third in the series Of
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra con-
certs. In some respects 1t will be the
best of the entire season. One reason
is, that the evening is to be devoted to
the works of Wagner, the great Ger
man whose Emusic Of the FUTURE has
become in very truth the music Of the
present. Another reason is that the
organization will present as soloist
the splendid English contralto, Nine.

Those who were deprived of hearing

company was here last year, will not

too seldom heard at all on this side
of the water. She has always been in
great demand in England and on the
continent. not only for recltals and
concerts. but in opera as well, where she
has made great success.
The orchestra is in fine condition for
this concert, and will do the best play
ing in its history. The works of Wag-
ner have always appealed to the mem n
bers of the orchestra as we'll as to Mr..
Oberhoffer and the plans to give tins
concert were laid months ago. In all

was cut down and soon resuscitated. Mcvey is
a Dodge county prisoner and Sheriff Vine will
notify the authorities there and probably guard
will be placed over him. Before attempting to
take his life McVey wrote this letter:

murder, want to leave statement and tell the
public before dying that am innocent of this
horrible crime they say I am guilty of. The
county attorney has told me that I will be
hung because he has said he has lots of evil

live any longer, worrying day and night
about the horrible charge they think me guilty

When the Bowels are filled with undi-
