Editor, Washburn Times:

l desire correcting slight
inaccuracy in the short account
you gave in your last issue re-
garding Father DUNES lecture.
The audience instead of being
"large" as was stated was re-
dicuously small though appreci-
alive. / had Father Dunno
come up here at the request of
many Washburn people who
we're certain the house would be
packed. My purpose, moreover.
was not to realize any consider
able net proceeds but simply to
give Missionaries the opportu-
nifty of hearing something noble,
inspiring and above the common
non sense and trash that is
dished out to them by our cheap
and often demoraIlzlng enter
tainments of the ''Salome" or
"Devel" type.
The lecture therefore from
the standpoint of the attendance
was a dismal failure. When
Father Dunno comes again to
our city you and l, Mr.. Editor,
shall have attained the last of
what Shakespeare 'terms the
seven ages of man., and Father
Dunno himself will have to rein
carnate and give once more the
eloquent words of "The Average
Man." w. A. Beaudette.

Of all the game "sports' there
are one that can compare with the
members of the 'Sheepshead'
bunch. for weather-no matter
what kind-cannot keep the boys
from attending a session of their
club. On Monday evening of this
week during one OF the worst rain
storms in years twenty faithful
members of the party were seen
vending their way to their gather
ling place where pleasant evening
is said to have been spent. The rain
came down in torrents but the boys
did not mind for they were enjoying
themselves and along in the small
hours of the night twenty stragglers
were again seen vending their way
home through rain, mud and water,
wet but happy. They believe in en-
ioying life and will not let the ele-
ments interfere with their pastime.

BEATING DRUM HIS HOBBY

Simon E. Bernheimer, a millionaire
brewer of New York, died recently
just as he was exultantly and delight
edly in the exercise of his lifelong
hobby-beating a Ass drum. 1t was
an odd revelation that a man of great
wealth and large affairs had found his
keenest enjoyment in acting as a mu-
stefan in a band. Bernheimer has
spent thousands of dollars in the sup
port of a musical association for the
mere privilege of welding the big
baton with its huge leather ball against
the side of a booming drum. He had
joined a Masonic order in order to
get opportunity to play the bass
drum is a substitute in the band, at
tending rehearsals d~evotedly in the
hope that some night the regular bass
drummer would be absent and he
would get a chance. And when he
did get 1t the other night he attacked
the instrument with such vim and was
so highly excited withal at the oppor-
tunity that lac come to him that he
brought on a stroke of apoplexy that
killed him.
