Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1911-01-05

A well-known newspaper that boasts
the authority and the excellence of its
dramatic and musical criticism pub
lished recently criticism of certain
charming light opera. The dramatic
editor was lavish in his praise of songs
and singers, remarking, with a digni-
fed reminder to his readers that 1t
was his business to pass judgment not
unmixed with censure, that the plot
was slightly unconvincing.
OF the music, however, he wrote in
terms of highest commendation And
he closed his article with praise for
the charming entractes.
The typesetter got free with the
copy, however, or there was a mistake
made by the printers devil" At any
rate. this is what appeared as the
closing sentence of a really mastery
piece of criticism:
Last nights music between the acts
was unusually melodious."

A Mennonite Custom.

When a young man reaches the
marriageable age and shows those
well.known symptoms the elders of
the church hold meeting. They
decide II he is honest and reliable
to buy him farm, usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings, and
then members or the congregation
raise the rest of the funds to pay for
the land
This amount the young man must
pay back with small rate of inter-
est Thus by example and material
assistance they bind him by the
strongest bonds, that of debtor to the
church. They know full well that
nothing can be lost, for the land is
always worth what 1t will cost. After
the young people are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this
thrifty people are gradually buying
the best of all Kansas land and the
best part Of the incest little city
within the borders of that great
state?-Seneca Tribune.

Williamsport sportsmen intend to
circulate petitions to the legislature
looking toward the abolition of bear
traps. The only persons using traps
are those who hunt bears for mar.
ket, and sportsmen are anxious that
the bear be more fully protected
than under the present laws. 1t is
pointed out by those back of the
movement that the catching of bears
in traps not only tends to exterminate
the species Of game but is cruel
practice, as the animals frequently
free themselves by leaving parts of
their legs in the trap.-Philadelphia
