MISS HILL DELIGHTS
Gave Fine Entertainment Under
Auspices of Y. w. c. A.--Mr.
8unce Also Pleases.

Miss Elizabeth Hill gave her third
programme of a series OF readings last
night at the Y. M G. A. auditorium
before large and appreciative audi
ence Miss Hills press notices from
other cities are very fiattering but we
believe no other listeners could have
enjoyed her more than the Fargo peo-
pie who were present Her study Of
characters and her power Of inter-
preting them was well exhibited, for
her readings were varied though en-
tirely in keeping with a first class
programme. Miss Hill is perfectly at
ease on the stage and it takes her but
a short while to gain the support and
enthusiasm of her audiences. Fargo
hopes to hear Miss Hill again.
Paul f. Bunce, formerly Of Mime
apolis, contributed several vocal num-
beers, making the programme doubly
interesting. Mr.. Bunce has an un-
usual tenor voice; it is rich, sympa-
thetic and appealing. His selections
were well rendered. Mr.. Henderson,

Did She CALL ON YOU?
Pretty Little Miss Sells Many Back
Numbers OF Publication Which
Are Given Away.

Did you separate with a small piece
of change yesterday when demure
appearing little miss, with a coy smile
and a rather bewitching manner, ap-
peared at your office, gave you to
understand that she was working in
the interest of "children"-making
some reference to the Children's home
and offered a copy of a Chicago
charity paper.
Scores Of office men along Broadway
have the little paper tackled on the
wall and several have labelled in large
blue letters gold brick" What led
to the suspicion of many was the fact
that subscriptions were not solitited.
1t was calculated that had the young
lady been employed by the publication
which she sold, she would doubtless
have worked that end of the game.
One individual who had been given to
understand that he was helping the
North Dakota Children's home, called
up that institution and learned that
they knew nothing of the matter. A
glance at the issue showed that 1t was
back number, something that could
not be sold on -he market-numbers
that would be shipped out by the pub
Usher to be distributed free for the
asking. 1t was recognized as a good
game and those who cashed in, tool
the matter in a pleasant manner.
