WENNERBERC IN
ANNUAL HOME HIT
College Chorus Delights Large
Audience at Augustana
Chapel.
NINETEEN FINE VOICES
Reader, Basso and Pianist Assist in
Program. in Which Many En-
cores Are Demanded.

Before a crowd which filled nearly
every seat in the chapel at Augustana
college, the Wennerberg chorus again
made good in its annual home con-
cert. The glee club was assisted in
the rendition of this program by Miss
Rachel Anderson, reader. Y. Joranson,
basso; Miss Lille Cervin, pianist and
accompanist and quartet.
The chorus is composed of 10
voices, with Prof. Peter Johnson as di-
rector. Considering that the glee club
lost about half its members last
spring through graduation too much
credit cannot be given Prof Johnson
for having whipped a practically green
chorus into standard form Their
voices harmonized well and they rem
dered their songs with snap and vigor.
The singers were booked for 10 songs
on the program and opened up the
first group by giving one of Wenner-
berg's best Swedish songs for male
voices, "Hor oss Svea." "Muntra mus
ikanter" (Riccius) was probably rem
dered best, the chorus entering into
the spirit of the composition and sing
ing it with a dash and enthusiasm as
only an Augustana glee club is capa-
BILE of doing. "Varsang" prince Gus
tav) and "On the Sea" (Buck) brought
forth generous applause. Although
they were applauded vigorously after
each number, the chorus responded
with only two encores.
QUARTET PLEAsEs.
A quartet from the glee club com
posed of Prof. Johnson, Herman Oh
sson, A. w Johnson and Tage Joran.
son. made one of the hits on the pro-
gram. "Old King Cole" CNevin) was
especially well received by the au-
dience. Their singing is devoid of any
harshness as their voices blend very
sweetly together.
Miss Rachel Anderson as reader
thoroughly pleased. She gave two in
terpretations, 'Beasley's Christmas
Party (Tarkington) and Encourage
ment" dunbar. Although Miss An
derson is not possessed of an unus-
ually strong voice, this is more than
made up by her clear and almost per-
feet enunciation. She appeared to the
best advantage in encouragement"
her delineation of character in this
selection being especially good. She
also gave an encore.
JORANsoNs IN DUET.
Y. Joranson proved himself to be an
able soloist Possessed of a deep, rich
bass voice, he sings with ease and
grace and puts a great deal of feeling
and expression into his songs His
rendition of Fear Ye Not, o. Israel"
was well given. He was called back
for another song. God Is Our Ref
uge' Rutland), a duet sung by
T. and Y. Joranson, took very
well, and an encore was called for.
The solo and duet work of the Joran-
son twins always proves to be one Of
the best parts of the program

CHRONIC ULCERS
INDICATE BAD BLOOD

Where the blood is pure any wound
or laceration of the flesh heals "by
FIRST intention" This is true because
nature has provided a constituent to
the circulation known as Plasna,
which joins and holds the place to-
gether until the fibres and tissues can
permanently knit and Intervene.
Whenever the ulcer becomes chronic
it is because this healing quality of
the blood has been impaired by some
impurity in the circulation, and the
place remains open, injecting all sur
rounding flesh, until the character of
the circulation is changed. No sore
can heal where the blood is bad ; be-
cause the morbid impurities on which
it thrives are constantly deposited
into it by the burdened circulation.
Cleanse the blood and the sore will
heal of its own accord, because then
its very source and foundation will
have been destroyed. S. S. S. cures

CHAPTER KIN.

Play Ball In Kangaroo Land.
So far as | know, the first game Of
professional baseball ever played in
Australia was the exhibition given
by the Chicago and All-America teams
on the afternoon of December is, 1883.
1t was played on the grounds of tho
Sydney Cricket association, and I
want to say right here that there is
nothing in the United States that will
compare with those grounds in beauty
or convenience. In spite of several
counter attractions $500 persons as
sembled to see how the American ma
tional game was conducted, and. for.
tunately for us, both teams were on
their mettle. The crowd, too, was in
luck, for 1t got a redhot game from
start to finish, the pitching of John
Tener for the Chicagos being Of the
gilt-edged order.
The fielding and base running Of
both teams were right up to the mark,
and at the end of the first inning the
game was a tie, each team having
scored four runs, and 80 it remained
until the ninth inning, when the picked
nine sent man across the plate and
scored the winning run. regard it as
one of the hardest-fought games on
the tour. That game gave baseball
