ENTERTAINMENTS WE'RE COOL

The musical entertainments given
at the high school building Friday
and Monday nights were up to the
standard and besides pleasing the
audiences they left good values and
good influence.
Skovgaard, the Danish violinist, is
one who speaks six languages fluent
ly, and as he says, "aIso little yunks
of English" He is one of those ex-
pressive fellows who cannot keep still
he has so many good things to tell
and each story he told was as pleas
ing because of his mixed English and
Scandinavian as was the story itself.
He is such manly, gallant fellow
that he made hit with the unmar-
ried ladies, and lot of the married
ones were regreettigg that they did
not give him better chance. He
paid fine tribute to the school
houses in America, and ours in par
ticular. The house was packed and
much standing room was taken.
On Monday evening the house was
not SO we'll filled, and while the en-
tertainment took different turn, it
was no less appreciated. In fact the
music and the impersonations of the
young people were so good, and when
they attempted to relax and act the
simple part they acted so perfectly
simple and "kidlike," it kept the aud
fence in an uproar.
The great thing about these enter
tainments is that they have the high
moral tone and the clean moral ef-
feet that is lacking in so many plays
and shows that cost more money.

WENGER DOES A GOOD WORK
to-

Paul Wenger came up from Aber-
deem Wednesday and is taking sub
scriptions for the Country Gentleman.
the Ladies Home Journal and the
Saturday Evening Post. These well
known publications need no introduc-
ton, unless, perhaps 1t the Country
Gentleman, which covers a great deal
of practical work in agriculture that
our farmers should have for them
selves, and while they study it their
wives and daughters would enjoy the
Ladies Home Journal. The Satur-
day Evening Post would be interest
ing and instructive TO the larger boys
of the household, and when Mr.. Wen
ger comes along it would be a good
thing to invest in his line. Some of
this class of literature will help the
man of family to solve the prob
lem of how to provide amusement
and literature of the right kind.
These things are cheaper than shows
and dances, and leave value vastly
greater.
Mr.. Wenger is young man and is
numbered among the first settlers at
Aberdeen. He is reliable in business
and is working to earn money to fin
ish his education and we want to
add that Supt. Eichers of the Aber-
deem experiment station recommends
the Country Gentleman as one of the
best of agricultural papers.

HAD A FREE FIGHT
When Suffragettes Broke Into Peace Of
Bible Meeting.

London March 30.-At a great meet
ing of churchmen and statesmen in Al
bert hall last evening to celebrate the
tercentenary Of the King James revision
of the English translation of the Bible,
Premier Asquth and Whitelaw Reid, the
principal speakers, seized the opportu-
nifty to eulogize the arbitration move
ment.
Sufragettes interfered with the pro-
ceedmgs, and when the prime minister
began, they nfurled banners bearing
the inscription ''votes for women The
banners were torn up after q free fight.
In his address, Mr. Asquith said:
"The English Bible belongs not only
to the subjects Of King George, but to
the whole English-speaking world One
OF the truths which has been slowly
realized. and which now believe is firm
ly rooted in the faith of Christian men
and women on both sides of the Allan
tic. is that war between English-speak-
ing people would be not only a crime
against civilization, but an unforgivable
breach of these few commandments
which are enshrined in the new Testa-
ment on which both nations have been
bred.
There surely could not be a more
worthy, more appropriate, more
splendid monument of this tercentenary
year than that it should witness the
sealing Of solemn pact between us
which would put an end once for all
to the hideous and pnthinkable pos
sibilities of fratricidal strife"
