CAREER OF AN OLD JOKE
New York MALI


The mother-in.law joke is so stale
aud wearisome that IL has been barred
by the press humOrists' union and BY
comic magazine The Jest originated
in prehistoric times and is found in
the writings of the Hebrews Greeks
and Romans.
Il was first distributed in America
by circus clowns IN the days Of thu
dawIstb uitrshtredisacnIdolt etaoishr
road shows that went on wagons
wherever a mule could pail wheeled
vehicle. The clowns those days were
hard IN for joke material that ali the
Americans in the tent could under
stand. so they selected the mother
in-law subject 4 clown would come in
and tell about boat having sunk
with all on board. Then he would weep.
Did you have any friends or Tela-
lives Oh board2" the ringmaster would
ask.
No. says the clown.
Then why are you crying so?
Because my mother-in-law was go
,nc on that trip and she missed the
boat
For q quarter of a century no circus
was complete without that joke. Az
last the ten shows grew so big the
clowns couldn't make their voices
heard, and the mother-in-law joke had
TO quit travelling with the circus.

HOLIDAY GOODS HERE.
Alma Merchants Will Next Week
Display 1912 Holiday Gifts.

To show that the local merchants
are really up-to-date, it is interesting
to know that large number of Alma
lstores have most of their Christmas
stock now. The idea is to give the
purchasing public good long time
in which to make their selections and
to get the shopping done and com
pleted before the last day
Next week several of the stores Of
the city will make displays of a por-
ton, at least, of their Christmas
goods. AS time goes on these dis
plays will be added to and in a short
time the people of Alma will have
the privilege of~selecting from the
best assortment of goods OF every
kind to be found in central Michigan.
The shopping early spirit is get
ting to be thoroughly recognized.
Because of this merchants get their
goods out on display several weeks
before they used to. The percentage
of purchases is also increasing at
an earlier date than a few years ago.
One merchant stated TO the re-
porter today that a large amount of
the Christmas buying had already
begun. The sales in this special
store have increased perceptibly dur
ing the last few days and the class
of goods sold clearly indicates that
they are to be used for holiday pur-
poses. DO Your Shopping Early"
is the popular slogan at the present
time

TIE ROSE MAIDEN
Initial Concert Of the Alma College
ChOrdl Club
ASSISTED BY ALMA ORCHESTRA
And Prominent Chicago SOlOiSts. Rar~
Musical Treat

On Friday evening, December 9th,
at o'clock, Cowen's beautiful can
tata, the Rose Maiden, will be pre-
esnted by the Alma College Choral
club of 100 voices and the College Or
chestra of twenty players, Chicago ar
fists and Miss McGreaham the popu-
lar local contralto will sing the four
leading roles.
The Rose Maiden is a beautiful
cantata abounding in beautiful tune
full music. 1t consists of solos, duets,
trios and choruses. The we'll known
Bridal chorus is one of its most popu-
lar numbers. Like most cantatas of
this nature the plot is Of secondary
importance. The Queen of the
Flower Fairies (soprano), weary of
! life OF unbroken calm, prays of the
Spring (baritone) that he will bestow
on her the gift of love which he be-
slows on man He warns her of the
risk she runs but finally yields to her
entreaties and changes her while she
sleeps into the form Of beautiful
maiden. Under the name of Rose
blossom she wanders through the
world to find the love she seeks She
meets with the gardeners daughter,
who having been betrayed and de-
serted loses her senses and dies
broken-hcarted However, undeterred
in her search, Roseblossom becomes
the wife of forester (Tenor) with
whom she lives in such perfect hap
piness that when he is killed by out
laws she cannot survive his death
Nine. Iva Bigelow Weaver will sing
the soprano role. Nine. Weaver is
we'll known in Chicago and Milwau-
kee as an artist of high rank She
has appeared successfully with prom
inent choral organizations in each
place. She possesses a lyric soprano
voice of great sweetness and purity.
Mr.. Edward Walker has been cho-
sen for the most difficult role-the
tenor Mr.. Walkers numerous ap-
pearances in concert and oratorio
have won him an enviable reputation
throughout the west
Mr.. Wengerd is better known as
a prominent educator, conductor and
teacher than as a concert artist. Mr..
Wengerd will sing the baritone role
and during his visit here will look
over the School of Music making any
suggestions for its improvement Mr..
Wengerd is at present vocal teacher
and conductor of the operate depart
ment of the Drake School of Music
of Chicago
The contralto role will be sung by
Miss Harriet McGreaham the local
supervisor of music. Miss McGrea-
ham has voice OF splendid caliber
and will we are sure reflect credit
upon herself and upon those who
chose her for the position she now
occupies in the city schools
The performance will be given in
the college chapel and as the seating
capacity is limited the public should
secure tickets early. Admission will
be so cents. associate members of the
Choral club free. Reservations may
be made at Rhodes Drug Store on
and after December 2nd.
