There are many comedians at
whom you can laugh, but there are
few with whom your laugh. Some
are ridiculous and you laugh at them;
others are naturally funny in a polite
and ~inoffensive way and you laugh
with these. Unfortunately the latter
are few and far between, but il car be
truthfully said of Will III. Bruno, the
comedian with Hello Bill" who will
be seer here that he is one of the ex-
ceptions and his audiences laugh with
him. He has earned for himself the
appellation of "the polite comedian"
which means that he gets his laughs
in an ~inoffensive manner, and Mr..
Bruno is more proud of the title than
had he president tackled to his name.

Sioux Falls is a graveyard of
church membership, said Rev.
Shurtlef, a professional evangelist
from Chicago. We do not doubt the
statement for a moment. No man is
so capable of recognizing such a
graveyard as the class of men who
make them. If the records Of the
church memberships there inferred
are examined it will be found that
nearly everyone started their career
upon such a wave of excitement as
this man hopes to create. It's very
seldom you find a backslider among
men and women who unite with the
church after duly considering the
matter and reaching their conclusion
in a dispassionate way. On the other
hand, those who indemnity themselves
with a religious body as the result of
excitement seldom stick. Look about
