GREAT COLLEGE GLEE CLUB
An Opportunity Offered to Hear the
Best in Iowa.

The lowe College Glee Club t.ft
Grinnell. an organization that has
made an enviable reputation for it.
self during the past few years, will
make its annual holiday trip this year
along the line OF the Northwestern
railway. The club gave concert in
its infancy in Denison and would like
to return now with the finished pro-
duct. Mr.. Fellows has taken the mat
ter up and asks that all who are in
terested subscribe for tickets at John
sons as soon as possible. The eX-
pense of an organization of twenty
members is considerable and some
guarantee is needed beforehand
The Iowa College Glee Club is in
no sense the makeshift organization
that college glee clubs are generally
held to be. 1t is concrete musical
many of it's members are singers AMI
instrumentalists OF pronounced abil-
ity and it's training has always been
since the first year of it's organization
of the most rigid and thorough type.
Unlike similar organizations, the lead
ership of the Iowa College Glee Club
does not change from year to year:
on the contrary, it has had but two
leaders since it was established in
1894 Both of these have been must
clans of broad education and eminent
qualifications for leadership, and the
club today challenges comparison for
rich and refined quality of tone, puri-
ty of intonation delicacy OF senti-
ment. versatility OF expression, and
that enthusiastic way of singing
which holds and inspires an audience.
In addition to these qualities, which
are usually considered to be beyond
the reach of glee clubs, the Iowa Col
lege Glee Club possesses those ele
ments of good fellowship and whole
some humor which are always well
come as evidence of the spirit OF
healthy college life.
The season OF the club is confined
to the Christmas holidays and the
Easter recess.

Hamm Frankenthal, and ore than
5000 pounds was paid for the casting.

All Cutting Saving.

Knives, no matter how carefully
sharpened, are little saws; the grind
ing away of the steel, done by the
stone, is not an oven work, but when
the edge gets thin is a process of tear
ing away tiny bits of steel by the grit
of the stone. This tearing makes the
teeth. A fine stone makes fine teeth,
a coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving
knife, used on meat, is sharpened on a
coarse stone or a steel, and has coarse
teeth, although it's edge is thick. It's
action in parting the meat is more that
of a saw than a fine wedge. No mat
ter how soft it may be, it will not
cut easily Unless it is drawn over the
meat and not simply pressed down.
A razor, however, with it's %paper-like
edge, will cut into flesh with a simple
pressure-it is a wedge dividing the
fibers of flesh just as a wedge of iron
divides the ibers of the log it splits.
But a razor is a saw, too, only as it is
ground on the finest stones and later
finished with a leather strop, it's teeth
are very fine indeed-hundreds and
hundreds to the inch of blade.-St.
Nicholas.

time to time returned to camp and by
a peculiar whinny and neigh reported
the proximity of the enemy.
But, to come down to the present

life had nearly run out, that n day
on leading his horse down through a
lane to a brook for a drink the animal
suddenly halted and, turning its head
round, grabbed up with its teeth of
its hind shoes which had Just dropped

willing to send post-haste to the city
stock that is wanted by a customer:
their stocks are up-to-date and free
from shelf-worn goods. These men
make the humblest customers feel well
come in their stores, and particular at
tention is paid to waiting on children,
giving them even better measure and
quality than their elders would re-
ceive. And these men are advertisers.
Their ads in the local papers are
changed regularly and show time and
study. They meet the mail order man
more than half way in special sales
and clearing of odds and ends. Here
is an instance where there is no legi-
innate excuse for a person sending
away after goods. And the people do
not. Very few articles of general mer-
chandise are shipped into that city.
The buyer and seller are working in
harmony to their own betterment and
advantage.
But look at the other side. The city
which we have in mind has one hard
ware and one furniture store. Both
have fairly good stocks for the size of
their circle of trade, but just step into
either one of these stores. The pro-
prietor may be in the back oom or the
back yard for all you know, but by and
by some stir is heard and leisurely he
makes his experimentation store

some grumbles about being disturbed,
asks what is wanted. There might as
well be placards in the store announc-
ing Buy wi at I've got and keep still"
and I'VE ara busy, don't disturb u.s."
No effort is made to show you an arti-
Gle; nothing is ever taken down from
the shelves unless directly asked for.
Neither hardware nor furniture mar
acts willing to get what you want If he
does not have it in stock. And again
neither one of these stores believe in
advertising. They use no space in
their home papers; a newcomer would
never know the city possessed such
places of business enterprise. Who
ever heard of a country hardware or
furniture store having a special sale,
or harvest sale or the like? But WHY
not? These two storekeepers are Bit
ter against the mail order houses. 1
wonder why? I talked with the rail-
road agents in that little city and he
said lots of hardware and furniture
was shipped in. He said, Zone day I

THE STORY.

u OAZ was absent from Bethlehem
ID at the time of the return of Naomi
and her daughter-in-law, Ruth, but on
his reaching home this bit of news
was among the first to reach his ears
for the t~ownspeople had not yet ceased
to gossip concerning the event, in fact
he had scarcely gained the gate of his
village before he was surrounded by a
group of neighbors who poured into
his interested ear all the story of
Naomi's life and misfortunes in the
land of Moab, and of her having lost
husband and ons there, and of her re-
turn in sorrow ami poverty to the old
home she had left over ten years be-
fore.
"Elimelech might better have taken
your advice and stayed in Bethlehem"
calculated one, as the story was fin
ished.
Yes" responded Boaz, sadly; 81

to me and been content to remain.
From what you tell me, he could not
have Jared worse had he done so.
Elimelech and his two sons dead and
only Naomi left" he repeated, half to
himself, meditatively. and what of
Naomi?" he added, after a few min
utes' pause, as his thoughts turned
from the dead to the living. "You say
she has brought a Mcabitish woman
with herr"
"Yea, her daughter-in-law, Ruth,
wife of Mahlon. "And they do say she
is devoted to the old lady, but some
strAnge motive must have brought her
from her country and her people, for
Naomi hath nothing to offer her. In
fact it does seem that her coming
makes Naomi's lot the harder, for
there is one more mouth to feed.
Everyone is talking about the matter.
Was it not folly enough that Naomi's
sons should have married contrary to
the law of Israel, and now must we
have constant reminder of their sin by
the coming into our midst Of this
Moabitish woman?"
"But did Naomi urge her to conner
asked Boaz.
NO." admitted the other; "it seems
that both daughters-in-law started to
return with her, when she rebuked
them and babe them return to their
homes and their people and their gods.
This, Orpha, the wife Of Chiffon, did,
but Ruth chung to her mother-in-law,
