is not up to the league. 1t is up to
the citizens.
Anything in the nature of duty or
a uniform task soon becomes tire
some to grade school children, es-
pecially during the summer when
even grown folks become listless.
Here is where the citizens task comes
in. A little encouragement for the
children by their parents and others
will go far toward making the contest
worth the effort that is being spent
Oh it,
If the grown folks do their part
with the grade school children, Co
lumbia ought to be one of the pretti-
est cities in the Missouri Valley by
August. With the advantages it now
has Columbia ought to acquire a more
than statewide reputation for civic
beauty.

ANOTHER Use FOR RIBS.

Back in the beginning of things We
are told that woman was made from
mans rib Altogether, it seems that
it was a pretty useful purpose for a
rib and that man can well spare that
extra rib for such a purpose.
Now a Berlin surgeon has discover
I'd that he can make another orna-
ment from a rib. It's a nose
When you get into a fracas-if you
do-and unfortunately get the most
prominent part of your face dented in
80 that it is no longer a thing of
beauty and joy forever. this Berlin
surgeon can take part of one OF
your ribs and model another nose to
suit the occasion. The usefulness of
the new discovery cannot be over
estimated. for ones nose has cOnsid-
cradle to do with the sort of society
one runs in, and also it. being the
cowcatcher, so to speak, of the face,
gets more bumps than anything else.
What is rib compared with a
restored proboscis?

DEATHS COMPENSATION.

Nine Lillian Nordica is dead. and
the world has lost beautiful voice.
When the end of life came To the
great singer the other day real loss
was felt throughout the world, for
she had used her gift to make men,
all classes Of men, happy. Nine Nor
dica'S career extended over forty
years, and during that time she sang
not only to the few persons who could
afford 10 attend grand opera. but often
in the Bowery missions of New York.
or in similar places in other cities.
The hundreds of thousands OF per-
sons who have heard her cannot but
regret that they will never hear her
again. and the world is made the
poorer by her death. Yet how fortu-
nate for her that she was taken before
she lost her power of song. For such
all artist to live and watch her gift
fade and finally become lost is moth
ing but torture. Death has brought to
her the compensation of dying while
she was still able to thrill mems souls
with her voice.

BEAUTIFUL COLUMBIA.

The Civic League of Columbia has
done the citizens of the town good
turn in starting a city-beautiful con-
test. The citizens should see to it that
the contest is a success. The job
ought not to be left entirely to the
league.
Columbia is already a pretty city,
especially right now when the trees
and grass have that bright green that
lives only in May. But there is no
reason why the city cannot be made
still more beautiful.
The league is giving public school
pupils seeds and shrubs to plant For
the prettiest lawn and for the most
improved lawn prizes will be award
ed Several inspections will be made
during the summer by representatives
of the league to see how the work is
being done and to grade the work.
The league has fulfilled its part in
starting this work and encouraging
the beautifying of the city. But it
takes still more to make the contest
a success, to make II result in real
added beauty. This additional work

Bishop Hoss' text for his sermon
Sunday morning was from the First
Epistle Of John, IL: Behold, now as
We are the sons Of God. and it doth
not yet appear what we shall be- but
we know that when He shall appear
we shall be like Him; for we shall
see Him as He is"
This. said the distinguished divine,
is one o: The most beautiful passages
in the Bible. setting forth as it does
the love Of God as portrayed by His
bestowal of the privilege Of sonship
upon mankind.
The text, said he, sets forth two
facts of our position as result OF
Gods love:
First, the dignity Of our present
position Now we are the sons OF
God"
Second, our future position-"We
shall be like Him.
