Council Meeting.
From Mondays Daily.


C. NJ. Masters and Dr. j. A. Hell
scher met with the council this
morning and discussed the plan of
ley between Plum and Washington
and Fourth and Fifth streets. These
gentlemen own a lot on this alley
and intend to build facing Wash
ington park. AS the Fifth street
sewer is too high to accommodate
them they will either have to put in
a long private line of sewer or else
cooperate with the other property
owners in this block and have the
city run their line in the alley to
meet their needs. The latter plan,
though the more expensive to the
property owners, would be the more
desirable as it would do away with
the Outhouses on the alley. They
intend to build facing the alley
and Washington park and these
buildings would be a great incon-
venience, where if a private line of
sewer was installed they will still
remain. Mr.. Masters and DR.. Hiel-
scher also wish to have the alley
made into a narrow street as the
the houses to be built across the
alley. 1t was allotted to Commits
sioner Henline to look into the mat
ter and see what could be done.
Chief of Police J. w. Donahue re-
ported forty-two lodges and nine ar
rests for the month OF November.
On a motion by Councilman Hum
iston the city attorney was author
lied to communicate with Alex
Bashaw and tell him to complete
the surfacing on the Second street
hill. In behalf of the Consumers
Power company City Engineer Blom-
quist asked that the company be
given permission to build a steel
tower for carrying their cables on
Vine street on the west line of Will
low street. This was granted on
condition that the company remove
the tower if it ever delayed traffic
on this street.

Splendid Recital,


Last nights recital given by two
pupils of Miss Katherine Ewertsen
Mrs. George Nerbovig and Miss
Mildred Oleson. was indeed a de.
lightful one. The choice of songs
was rather different from the pro-
grams of the recitals given within
the past year and was an interest
ing choice.
The program opened with duet
by the two singers, "Oh That We
Two Were Maying." Their voices
were splendid together and the song
at once made the audience realize
what might be expected in the solo
work.
Mrs. Nerbovig sang the first
group and without doubt her voice
was never in better condition than
last night. Her tones had a smooth
ness of quality and trueness that
at once established her well with
her audience. Of all her songs the
two perhaps which were most ap-
preciated were Tosti's Gould 7" and
"The Charm Of Spring" by Clarke
Tn these songs more than in any
of her others Mrs Nerbovig was
entirely Indifferent to her audience
and her tones were exquisite Mrs.
Nerbovig is one of the singers who
gives pleasure by her clear enuncia-
ton also. se
Miss blossoms selections were of
rather a different type throughout
the program than those Of Mrs. Ner-
bovig, and we're particularly well
suited to her voice, which has a
lifting tone that Is delightful. Miss
blossoms manner of taking her audi
enee into her confidence is charm
ing. She possesses great dramatic
ability and her Interpretation of her
songs. is delightful Miss blossoms
voice is remarkable one for so
young a person, and shows great
promise.
Miss Blossoms last group also
showed more assurance than her
first and the songs in that group
were especially well rendered.
Speaks Highly Of Miss Jones'.
The Music News, magazine
published in Chicago. gives criti-
cism of recital which is of special
interest to Mankato people. The re-
cital was given by Mrs. Gertrude
Mace. Bogart and. Miss Edith Mai
dwyn Jones. Miss Jones Is sister
OF D.. NJ. Jones of this city, and it
will be remembered that she spent
the past summer here and was
heard at number of musical affairs,

poultry. One week will be devoted
to soils and the last week of the
course will be devoted to buildings
and machinery.
Agriculture and English compo.
sition will be taught every day.
Drawing will be taught two days a
week, shop work and drawing to-
gether will be taught one day and
shop work alone will be taught two
days! The afternoon period from
2:10 to so will be devoted to farm
arithmetic and laboratory work.
The study periods include the
hours from ten o'clock in the morn
ing until noon and from 1870 p. m.
until 2:50 p. m. The hours have
been made short so that no boys
who have some work to do at home
will be kept from taking advantage
OF the work.

Temperament is ALL RICH
Quality the World Seems Ever Will.

OF the prima donna who throweth a
dish Of spaghetti at her butler the
world saith: "She hath the artistic
temperament" And of the washer
woman who scaldeth her husband
with a pot of bean o the husbands
relatives saith: "She hath a devilish

Cultivate temperament If thou wilt,
but beware of temper. The rich man,
in a burst Of temper, bursteth a blood
vessel and droppeth dead. The poor
man getteth hot in the collar, and the

Yet temper hath it's uses. 1t giveth
a man courage to do that which he
lacketh the nerve to perpetrate in cold
blood. And it serveth as an admirable
excuse. If he saith. Pardon me, ]

he is forgiven, as if he were a lunatic
and not responsible.
Temper maketh Johnny to go into
tantrums. And, behold, his mother
a~nnounceth proudly: "Johnny is such
a high-strung child. So much tempera'
ment, don't you know" Which remark
Johnny often overheareth, and, being
wiser than thou wouldst expect OF
such a mother, he %stringeth her some
more and himself still higher, until
father steppeth in with a single pad

Temper maketh madam to snap at

Spring Showers in Old Garden.

"It is a rare delight to wander in
an old garden of a late afternoon just
after a shower, when the day has been
intensely hot and all Nature has fairly
thirsted for rain. The flowers have
dropped and the leaves curled for
want of moisture. Even the birds
have sought shelter from the fierce
rays of the sun, when, late in the aft
ernoon, suddenly, almost without
warning, the welcome rain ~descends.
A quick shower, soon over; and when
the sun comes out clear and bright,
all unmindful Of the wet, you gather
your skirts about you and go into the
garden to watch the unfolding of the
wilted leaves. You lift here and there
a fower-stalk which the rain has beat
en- down; you wonder where the bees
have taken refuge from the sudden
downpour: you find one in the deep
cup of a lily, another in the depth Of
a gladiolus blossom; farther on you
see a rose which should have been
! added to your rose jar when you gath.
, cred in the morning, and as you grasp
and pull it from the stem, you fee
that sharp stab Of pain that only the
sting Of a bee can give. which tells
you that one has sought shelter il
the heart of a rose.'-Rebecca B. Sim
