Sheldon, N. D., Feb. AT the trial
of Rev. L. c. Lebahn, who was arrest

belonging to the Lutheran hospital,
1t was proven beyond the shadow of a
doubt that he was perfectly innocent
of the charge preferred against him,
and as a matter of fact instead of be-
ing a defaulter, the evidence showed
that the hospital was indebted to Rev
erend Lebhan between 5000 and $500
for salarye due him.
The trouble seems to have arisen
over the fact that Reverend Lebhan
kept back 1923 collected by
him and applied 1t to SAL

The stories circulated that he admitted
the theft and resisted arrest were
proved to be utterly false.
Reverend Lebhan was we'll known in
this vicinity twenty-five years ago.
and is still remembered by the old
settlers. Those who know him found
it hard to believe that the charges
against him were true, and the fact
that he was found innocent of the
crime will be received by them with
deep satisfaction.

THE WAVE.

The Wind my master is, am his slave.
Is he weary of his zephyring,
He leaves the garden or the green low
grave,
Where late he sighed or pleasured
wantoning,
And straightway hurts him to the mid
most sea
And lays about him with his nine
tailed whip,
Bidding me rise (the while he scourges
me)
And from my bosom dash the helpless
ship;
Litter the good deep sea. the bountiful,
With flotsam of her broken masts and
men;
Rouse up the shark. summon the
screaming gull,
To come and CLEAN behind the hurri-
cane.
His lash is on my shoulder. ! must leap.
Servile. before him, knowing where I
pass
That isles and sunny shoals are
smothered deep,
And lifted hands of those that drown.
So is it. till the mad wind cries: mo
more!"
Spread my spent fingers on some sun
lit shore,
And smooth the sands where little
children play.
1.-THE above poem, from Fanny Hodges
Newmann's book of poems, Adven-
turers, has been set to music by George
Edwards, director of the San Diego
Music institute, and was to be sung
for the first time by Mrs. l.. L. Rowan
at musicale in her studio Jan. 81.

Daphne. which Dean Blake sang at one
OF Mrs. Beverly Price-Lientzs recitals
recently.
"The Wave has been given most
dramatic setting by MIR. Edwards, but
TO the ordinary hearer It will hardly
seem song, but rather a poem with
background of music which depicts
the emotions portrayed in the words
of the verse. AS in Mr.. Edwards The
Pale Horse, the accompaniment seems
to bear a more important part in the
whole than the melody for the voice.
The time outline OF the setting swings
along few measures of smooth
uuietude, ever upwards with wavelike
motion increasing surely IN tempo and
development of harmony, until ii
reaches climax in the wild shrek
of the mad wind: No nore!' Then,
with harmonies growing more and
more simple, the setting ends with the
little children playing on the warn,
sands, while the waves roll up the
beach, very gently now. but ever with
an undArtone of sadness. Mr.. Ed.
