BAND CON.
CERT SUPERB

If such a thing is possible, the
band concert given Wednesday night
at Daly's Theatre was better than it
has ever been before. While the au-
dience was not as large as on some
other occasions, it was certainly full
ly appreciatiYe OF the excellent high
class concert music that our local
band has ever given. Other enter
tainments and doings the same even
ing is the only reason why the opera
house was not crowded, for this en-
tertainment.. The members of the
band individually, and collectively,
are all fully appreciated by the ci-
tizens of Grand Rapids. 1t is an
organization that every citizen points
to with pride and honor. And the
concert given Wednesday evening
was an evidence of why the band
thus stands in this community. The
program was carried out as adver-
tised and the special features, the cor
net solo by Prof Merrill; and the
medly xyllophone solo by Roy John
son; the clarinet duet by Messrs.
Morse and Bandelin; and the song BY
Mrs. E. B. Redford were all excel
lent attractions of the evenings
program. They were all heartily en-
cored and were responded to.
The different selection by the band
were fine and the appreciation mani
tested was very cordial in the ex-
treme. There are few cities of this
size that can boast of an organi-
zation equal to the one we have here
in Grand Rapids. Their record is
fully appreciated.

Fold those dear hands, o so gently
On that calm and quiet breast.
Close those eyes with loving fin
gers.
Our dear father is now at rest.
AS the evening light was dying,
he passed away
From this world of pain and sor-
row.
To that land of endless day.
Lei his memory be a blessing,
Like lamp to guide you on.
Helping you to be as patient,
AS the dear one who has gone.
God through all those years was
near him,
Helping his cross to bear.
Giving him loving promise,
Of the crown he soon would wear
And remember how the father,
He who doeth all things best,
Said, come weary, heavy laden,
Come, and l will give you rest.

BAD ON SHEEP MEN.

The severe storms of the past
few days have been severe on
lambs. 1t is just lambing time
with the sheep men and the loss
has been very heavy.
The Times-Herald has been in
formed that j. X. Jenkins 'phoned
in the other day he had lost 1900
lambs and his neighbors had
lost proportionately. This is a
serious set back to the wool in
dustry of the country and will be
felt by a large number of people.
While the great amount of preci-
pitation Is very beneficial to the
farmers it is bad on the stock in
dustry.
1t is just learned that there is
a foot of snow at j. +. Mahon's
Anderson Valley ranch.

DR.. II. Denman came up from
Hartman Wednesday bringing
his famous standard bred stallion,
Twelfth Night. The horse will
make the season here in charge
of James Smith. Twelfth Night
is one Of the greatest sires of
this age and many of his colts
are making very fast time on the
grand circuit. Horse men of
Harney County are fortunate in
having such n grand sire in this
section and many are taking adj
vantage of the opportunity to
mate with him.
p. A. Paulsen, an experienced
newspaper man and practical
printer, arrived here from North
Dakota Monday evening to take
a position on The Times-Herald.
He has gone to work and the boss
of this shop is likely to take a
back seat in the management of
the mechanical department of
this great religious weekly from
the way he takes hold Of things.
Mr.. Paulsen is a band and orches-

JOHN MILTON H0FFHDlTZ
COMMUNICATED

A'bMNN NJ Aihi'
On Thursday afternoon, April
IL, 1912, occurred the sad death
of John Milton Hoffedltz, the be-
loved son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ
Hoffeditz of Valley View.
The funeral service was held in
the school house Friday afternoon
conducted by A. b. Whitney Jr.
The little fellow was taken
sick the Sunday previous to his
death and at the time his illness
was thought to be of a very mild
form and not at all serious.
Shortly before he passed away
a complication of scarlet fever
and pneumonia set in and al
though everything possible was
done that human hands and pro-
fessional skill could do it proved
of no avail.
If Johnny had lived until the
25th of this month he would have
been seven years old,
He was very much in love with
his school studies and very
prompt in his attendance. At
the close of the school session in
March his teacher presented him
with prize, as he had not been
absent one day or missed a lesson
during the school year He was
a member of the Valley View
Sunday school and rarely missed
a service.
The heart felt sympathy of the
whole community goes out to the
father, mother and sister in this,
their hour of great trial and
bereavement.

Two Tales of Macreadv.

It Is NOT always well to strut and
fret ones little hour upon the stage
too realistically. Macready, who threw
himself into his acting heart and soul,
used to tell funny stories about the
effect Of his easy. colloquial manner
upon the players collected for his COM
pany in small provincial towns Once
in the play Of "William Tell he turn
ed to one of these stupid rustics and
put the question, do you shoot?' so
naturally that the man was quite
thrown Off his guard and, to his hor-
ror, replied, "A little. sir, but I've new
er had a. go with one of them cross
bows" Another time in "Virginius" he
asked. do you wait for me to lead
Virginia in. or will you do so?' only
to be greeted Unexpectedly by the &C.
tor who played Icilius with, why,
really, sir, don't care-just as you
do it in London"

PAYING For q Bride In Africa

In most parts of Africa the native
bridegroom has to pay the father of
the bride in kind for his wife. In the
case OF regular marriage the amount
due to the father varies in accordance
with the sex of the first child born. a
girl being of less value than a boy.
Inc payments consist of cattle, sheep.
noes. spears. perhaps. and sometimes
otner useful articles The final pay
ments are often not completed until
years after the marriage takes place.
and the bridegroom is considered fair
prey by all the brides relations. This
results in endless disputes. Payments
made are often repudiated by the re-
clplent. The amount agreed upon is con-
stantly matter for argument. and ar
gument ends in fighting, raids on one
another and sometimes a long drawn
out feud
