Danced the "springe Dams"

Amateur night at the Empire last
was a decided success, both
in regard to crowds and entertain
ment. One of the special features
was the Syringe Dams" given by
Messrs. X. A. Wick, j. Hamre, Mrs.
A Heggelind and Miss Curl Lands
rud, with Knute Neste as violinist.
The dance elected hearty applause
because the participants did so well,
having well known reputation as
spring dancers. We know the dance
was strictly Norwegian, but when we
observed one of the dancers with an
auburn hirsute appendage on his
chin we thought sure that Ireland
had something to with it, but on
closer scrutiny we discovered it was
our old friend Knute Wick, one OF
the best known Norwegians here
abouts that ever came from King
Haakon's domain.
Miss Lulu Klein contributed a
very enjoyable song in Norwegian
and surprised the audience by hel
mastery of the piece. She received
much applause, and taken altogether
the evening was an exceptionally
entertaining affair.

mode a man can go out from Sibley
and wade hub deep in the richest
soil in christendom. The chances are
that the first and the second and the
third men he meets will be boosters
for the blue sky and semi-arid lands
of the west. the parched plains OF
Arizona, and the southwest or the
shivery suburbs of Medicine Hat.
The newspapers of the state are fill
ed with glowing pictures of the peace
and plenty of the horned toad coun-
try or some other equally delightful
place of residence and the towns are
alive with land agents anxious to
steer the Iowan who has made some
good dollars at home to wilder
ness where he can be separated from
his cash. Iowa looks on complacently
and encourages the boosters.
Nobody much seems to be boosting

The Barber.

/ went into a barber shop
To have my whiskers shaved;
/ came out from the place of shears
And to the cabman raved;
Take me away somewhere, / cried,
Where lunatics reside,
For I've been driven crazy by
That lunatic inside!"
Take me away" l shrieked in pain,
ITO any cell or grave,
Where | will never see again
A place where people shave!"
The cabman stared at me in fright
Terror was in his eyes
| read a horror in his gasp
A paralyzed surprise.
"I'll tell you why" l said to him,
iii tell you why l rave;
/ only went into that place
To get a simple shave.
The barber said my hair was thin,
And needed something strong,
And then he said the fringe upon
My neck was growing long.
"He said / ought to have a SINCE
To keep from losing hair;
He got the tonic bottle down
To scrub me, then and there;
And when / wouldn't have the schrub
He said: If / were you
I'd take a cooling sea foam or
A little egg shampoo!
''He said my beard was growing in,
Blackheads were in my face;
He said vigorous massage
Would fix my nose in place!
He volunteered to put some oil
And stuff upon my brow
And when l didn't want the oil
He used it, anyhow!
"a manicurist asked me if
Some help from her I'd choose;
The bootblack said / ought to have
Some work done on my shoes;
Professor Someone came and said;
To make this job complete,
You'd better let me take the corns
From your poor suffering feet!'"
"And that's the reason" l remarked,
Awhile the cabman gazed,
Il seem so silly in my top
For l am nearly crazed!
1 went into that little shop
To shave--that's where / fell
So take me quick, and lock me in
My little padded cell"

You don't have to take Kodol all

TRAINING FOR NURSES
Exceptional Advantages Offered at
Oskaloosa Hospital.

The Oskaloosa Public Hospital Of
fers unusual opportunity for younc
women between the ages of IS and 30
to acquire a dignifiea and we'll paid
profession. The hospital is in "per-
m2nent coed standing" before the
state board of health and its grad
yates are recognized and placed on
an equality with the largest hospitals
in the United States before this board.
The patronage of the hospital is in
creasing so rapidly that many more
nurses are needed for training. A
glance at the yearly report of this
institution will show an exceptional
variety of cases treated, so that the
nurses trained here will have had a
wide range of experience when they
go out into practice. Because of the
size Of the institution the physical
work incident to training is far less
than in the larger hospitals of the
country, while the opportunities for
personal instruction and assistance
are much greater. In addition to the
practical work there is provided a
regular graded course of lectures,
quizzes and examinations. Upon the
completion of this, course and the
passage of the proper examination
the student is entitled to the degree
of Graduate Nurse and may command
salary of s25 per week and expen'
ses. The laws are becoming more
strict each year and it will be but
matter of a. year or so at most when
no one will be allowed to care for the
sick in the opacity of a nurse who is
not graduate nurse. These students
receive in addition to their instruction
and education a compensation of IS
per month and their board, room and
washing. No other profession COM
handing such salary and offering such
opportunities can be acquired for SC
small an outlay of time and money
as this. Young women considering a
vocation in life would do we'll to in,
vestigate this opportunity.

FOOT BALL
Penn 2s-centraI o.

PENIS successful football team
captured another game Friday by
defeating Central college of Pella 20
to 0. The game was one of the most
sensational ever seen on Penn Field
and the spectators that braved the
rain We're well repaid with football
thrillers. An enthusiastic crowd of
rooters accompanied the Central team
and made a bright spot on the field
with their colors of red and white.
After a few minutes play in the
center of the field, Central aided in
making downs by tumble, tried a
drop kick from the 40-yard line. On
this play Smith caught the ball and
made his long run for a touchdown.
Williams kicked goal. For the rest
Of the half the ball was in mid-field,
mostly in Central's territory. The
score, Penn II, Central 0.
In the second half Penn lost consid-
cradle ground by Juggling kick offs
and punts, but made consistent gains
on Straight football, which, with Pur-
dys forward pass and Smiths second
long run, added II more points. Then
came Pierrelrs lucky run just as the
timers were coming on the field to
call time, and the game ended 80 to 0.
