chances of a fair decision were
thereby greatly increased. There
upon Principal Parlin offered to Sc
cure other two judges. Prof. Ames
told him it was not necessary, as
three would be satisfactory this
time. Later, however, Principal
Parlin did secure two other judges.
The report of the five judges gave
Wausau first place by the narrowest
kind of margin. President Sims,
Judge O'Neill and Assemblyman
Baker were the three judges origin
ally secured. Examination shows
that, had these been the only judg-
es, River Falls would have been the
winner by an average Of one-third
of one per cent as marked by these
three judges. Prof. Ames says
that the decision simply shows that
the two boys were practically
equal in merit, and that another
set of judges would be more than
likely TO reverse the decision.

The Choral Concert.

The concert of the Choral Union
at the M. T.. church last Thursday
evening was an enjoyable affair.
The house was crowded with an au-
dience that had high expectations
of superior musical entertainment.
Everybody seemed delighted with
the performance. The concert gave
an added proof of the excellence of
the musical talent of the city.
While the individuals comprising
the Choral Union are all good sing
ers, as a matter of course it requir-
ed much practice under competent
direction to secure the perfection
manifested in the ensemble singing
at this concert. Professor Jack,
the. director, is entitled to much
credit for the success of the Union.

Woman's seIf-Sacrifice

A Russian baroness, who wishes her
identity to remain secret, recently
visited the hospital at Thounse and
saw poor Swiss peasant girl brought
in. terribly burned by petrol lamp
explosion. The baroness was told
that unless new skin was grated on
the girl the case was hopeless.
The young baroness insisted that
they should take nearly square foot
OF her own skin to heal the sufferer.
The operation was performed and the
Swiss girl will now recover.
