years ago, Miss Miner became Mrs.
Richards, and for season sang with
her husband in the same company.
Richards has appeared In this city
three times in opera, and also in con-
cert. The first role he sang in opera
in this city was that of the herald in
Wagner's "Lohengrin," which he sang
here on April 1, 1905, with the Savage
company. On the same evening he ap-
peared as the Toreador In Bizet's
Carmen" one of the most exacting
roles in all grand opera. He was
next heard in opera in this city on
January 80, 1906, when he sang VOL
fran in Wagner's "Tannhauser." Last
year he was with the same company.
which was then singing Madam But
terfly," but as the company only play
ed the larger cities, he was not heard
here. Since his debut into the field
of grand opera, he has never appeared
under any other management than
that of Henry w. Savage. His role
in Madam Butterfly" is one of the
leading ones in the opera, and is of
equal Importance with that of the
principal tenor. He is said to have
won great success in this role. While
in this city, he will undoubtedly be the
recipient of many social honors."

"Miller's" tea room Saturday evening
by the students of the eighth grade

fair was complete surprise to Prof.
Ryle, but was none the less appre-

program was rendered and refresh

BEST PLACE FOR YOUR
MONEY IS IN THE BANK

The man who withdraws his deposit
from bank and locks 1t up in a vault
is public enemy. He is pulling down
the business structure upon his own
head. For every dollar saved in
this manner through withdrawal from
an irresponsible bank, a hundred thou
sand dollars may be lost to the COM
munity.

would make a strong candidate, and
either Charles D. Ford or James H.
Brown would make a creditable run.
All these men have been mentioned.
But against Shafroth-that is the
hard problem. Before the Republican
leaders got through thinking over the
problem they might have to send for
Earl NJ. Cranston, who has just re-
tired as United States district attor-
ney. Cranston is clean, he is Re-
publican, and in campaign against
Shafroth he might be stronger than
any of those mentioned. He would
not want to run-that I personally
know from conversations l have had
with him since the announcement Of
his resignation. The firm of Grams
ton, Pitkin & Moore will demand all
of his time; and this firm-composed
of the son Of governor and the sons
of two bishops-has a high standing.
Cranston does not want to run, but
some particularly wise selection of a
Republican candidate for mayor will
be necessary If Shafroth is to run.
Postmaster Paul Sours would be for
midable candidate, but his reappoint-
ment is practically assured, or ought
to be, and he would rather have the
postmastership than be mayor.
John F. Vivian, Republican state
chairman, is visitor to Roosevelt and
Washington-Roosev comes first.
Governor Buchtel Is also there. Vi
Wan has some enemies, but peace is
being urged in Republican ranks and
those who do not like Vivian have
been urged to work for the Republic
can party and forget their troubles.
So it looks as If, as sort of peace
pact, Vivian would remain as he is
now, party chairman. 1t Is said that
Vivian as state chairman, the sheriff,
county clerk and most of the court
house crowd, the district attorney and
the other favored ones will all be re-
nominated-and some strong outsider
picked up for mayor. If Speer should
decide to run 1t would complicate mat
ters, but it is thought that he will be
urged to step aside, although there Is
a strong element among the business
men which demands Speer on any
kind of ticket.

How Young Board of Trade President
 "Made Good" With the People.
 Systematic town boosting is fpa ture of American business activity which aims at the general good instend of personT profit. One western town had q board of trade which had slept along for years without doing anythin: in particular. except eating some food once year at banquet and listentn. to some spread eagle oratory, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The organization became moribund, and its presidencE was an honor no longer sought for The directors met and gave the place to young man of the type i've like tc encourage" The young man took his joo seriously and went to work. IL wasn't long before he grew an idea of his own.
 Every family that moved to town he spotted. Employment was provided for the breadwinners where necessary and the new people were made to feel at home. When this personal atten ton had got in Its work, representa- tive of the board of trade interviewed the head of the new family. This in terview was incorporated into a letter mimeograph copies were made, put into stamped envelopes and made ready to mail. Then the letters were taken 10 the newcomer. and he was, asked to address them to his friends "back east" The scheme worked like magic, Idea many new ones were born. The young man has been several times re elected president Of the board of trade and he. can have anything the people of that town can give him.

9herIdan's Double Marriage.

It was in 1857 that the Gretna Gresn marriages were made illegal. X glance at its registers may yet inspire the novelist of the future. One entry will be sure to puzzle. Twice within a few days occurs the record of the marriage of Richard Brinsley Sheridan to Miss Grant. There was only one K. E. $. only one bride for the same gentleman The double entries are not the result of any blunder on the part of tue Rev. MT. Vulcan. The parties were really twice married at Gretna Green.

M tho Tros FaIis, What of the Ivy

N the Tres FaIls, What of the ivy7
 We hear a great deal about the mod An girl developing mannishness. inde. psndence and losing her femininity. 4 great many people are much alarmed because girls are not trained, as for merly, in womanly gentleness. It is . beautiful figure of speech to describe the feminine character as the ivy which clings to the masculine oak for support and In return covers and beau dfes its hideous knots and scars.
 But if the oak falls what becomes of the ivy?
 There Is too much of this Ivy clinging and beautifying idea in training girls. They should be taught that 1t is just as necessary to be independent, to be self supporting. as to be able to cling and beautlfy. In other words, they ought to be able to stand alone If the tree falls and not go down with it, Success Magazine.

 If any one repeatedly breaks these rules his relation with the school will terminate The classes meet twice a veek-Wednesday after school ami Saturday mornIng-one hour each pei, pd. They will work in the gardens through the summer vacation. If a pupil Is absent, substitute Is sent. Badges or pins of green and white are worn, telling garden. number and time of class. Notebooks are kept, record Ing the temperature, attendance, date time of planting, plan of garden and any other notes they care to record.
 When insects are found or birds heard, questions are asked and notice taken of their habits. etc. During the summer children will be taken in smal! groups on short walks to hear the voices of nature The children already give advice to parents. telling them the best methods for planting cucumbeys and beans and setting out tomato plants.

How fast do hares and rabbits run Perhaps you have wondered while ous sunning and watched the elusive ami maIs speeding away. According to 1 G. Aillais, the length of hare's stride Is nbout four feet, while that of a ra'' bit is about two feet. Under cont. tions of fear the hare Is said to lesil ten to twelve feet, some authorities claiming that 1t can jump ditches ter to twenty-five feet in width.

School Gardens Create Tasts.

The educational value of the school garden cannot be overestimated Wha' we want to do Is to teach the childreu taste-get taste into the child. get tastc into the household and then finally tastu Into the community and when we hay" done this We need not fear the results says the Los Angeles Times. The lack of taste in the community generally l. an unfortunate fact, notwithstanding our grand school system. and may be attributed In large degree to tht failure to appreciate It's necessity by our educators. It is particularly pleas ing to those most deeply interested L note how universal is becoming ti' demand for school gardens. Reform !, many branches of public improveme,! would be far easier of accompllshmen. now had the children of the previou. generation been trained in the fund.-, mental principles of taste, the powe of perceiving, appreciating and discov erlng beauty and excellence The nor, we consider the curriculum of our pub lie schools the more we perceive how It could be Improved to meet the chang Ing conditions of our American life Our children need far more than the three R's to fit them for citizenship as 1t Is drawing upon us. The atmosphere and appurtenances of the schoolroonl should tend to 1mpart culture and taste. which In turn are transferred tc the home and thus minister to the gen. eral upbuilding. One of the surest and best ways to accomplish this greates, good to both school and home Is to carry at times the schoolroom (dgura lively at ieast out Into the pure and elevatlng atmosphere and influence O; the school garden.
