to her plan.
Only five winters ago Mrs. Hawkes.
worth faced one of the hardest situa-
tions that a woman ever has to face.
She was suddenly left a widow and
without money. She had been used to
luxuries and was a woman of mature
years, without a grain of business ex-
perience and with no means-so 1t
seemed-of earning an income. She
had been given a good musical train
ing as a girl and she had played the
piano as pastime throughout her
married life. Her friends suggested
that she could earn little by teach
ing music.
Mrs. Hawkesworth had the good for
tune to know Victor Herbert. She
had played as an amateur in ensemble
music which he had conducted, and
she asked him what chance she had
as teacher.
Your gift lies in managing, not In
teaching" he told her, and she took
his advice seriously. She decided to
make her first money by getting UP
a concert.

They would use a friends drawing

| one of this class. She decided she
would have none but the best singers
and that her patronesses should be
only women of wealth. The very day
she decided to give the musicale she

1t was when the craze for afternoon
dancing had just hit New York that
Mrs. r. w. Hawkesworth made the
master stroke of her business career.
Several of the large cafes in New York
had begun what they called the "the
dansant," and IL you went into any
one of these places in the late after
noon before six you would see men
and women tangoing and trotting be-
tween the tables, INDUCING In what
they took pleasure in knowing was
the latest form of amusement. Every
one who had the price and who cared
for that sort Of amusement went to
these dances, and as there are all sorts
of people In New York so there was
all sorts of dancing. That is one of
the things that made these dancing
teas SO successful.
Still there were some ultra-conserva-
tive New York people who liked to
dance in the afternoon who held back
from the snowy cafes. Their social
life centered about their own homes
or the large hotels. Tea drinking in
the palm gardens or Turkish rooms
of the palatial hotels had amused them
other seasons, but it seemed dull when
there was the possibility of dancing.
Mrs. Hawkesworth, part of whose
business it is to feel the pulse of so
ciety, pondered over the situation and
then, with her plans made, she went
to the manager of one of the newly
opened and largest hotels of the city.
Afternoon dancing has come to
stay" she told him. 80 far the only
place people can dance is in the snowy

tricks never before attempted by a lady

feats which this wonderful Duo perform
on the Roman Rings will never be for

death defying feats are performed in a
breezy style and will certainly tickle the

of the best Roman Ring acts entertaining

lation of their interest in school matters
that will tide them over the dangerous
period when they wish to quit school and
20 to work. This means large enroll
ment in the high school.
It will be real help to the parochial
schools in that it will enable them to give
the children an education that lack Of
facilities now prohibits them from
offering. They cannot afford to enlarge
their school to include the domestic and
industrial branches when the same work
can be done by the public school as well
or better with an already existing
equipment.
And that it is a help to the youngest
directly concerned cannot be doubted.
For many who must 60 to work upon
completing their elementary education,
it offers the only chance they will
have for learning anything of the indus
trial work. And for the more fortunate
ones who are in a position to continue
to the high school, it offers an opportu-
nifty to bridge the gap between the two
institutions with their different methods.
They will not be hampered by lack Of
understanding Of Public school methods
for they will already be thoroly con-
versant with them. They can catch
the stride of the school the moment they
enter as freshman and this will be
means of a saving much friction and
misunderstanding. And as has already
been suggested the introduction to the
domestic branches is bound to stimulate
their interest and keep them in school
during a period when they show ten
dency to drop out because of lack OF
interest.

The Bro,um County Far.

The Brown County Fair will soon
to be here. What are you doing, your
self, to make that fair a success? That
fair is ours and is going to be hummer
or frost, depending entirely on how you
and I and the other fellow look at it.
OF course the fair isn't the personal
property Of any one of us; it doesn't be-
long to New Ulm, alone, for that matter.
It is the County Fair.
But just because it belongs to the
county, don't overlook your personal
responsibility in the matter. Do your
share in making it a success. And it
isn't enuf to 60 out there one day Of the
three and stand around and look bored.
Not by thirty cents! Go out there in
your shirt sleeves and pitch in for good
time. Make it good fair.
And don't let someone else be respon-
sible for the exhibits. What's the matter
with your needle-work and your pies,
Mrs. Housewife? If anyone were to tell
yOu C1ldC YOU COulOlA l11hS d. 6OOu q
cake as Mrs. Jones or run as straight a
seam as Mrs. Smith you would cut that
person from your calling list. But when
Mrs. Jones takes first prize at the fair
on her cakes and doughnuts and Mrs.
Smith takes every blue slip in sight on
her needle work and you don't ever
think Of showing bit of your handiwork,
you can't blame any one for drawing
the conclusion that you must be some
thing of failure in those lines if you
can't show as good sample.
And the same thing applies to you
men. If you have good cow or good
calf, trot it out. You may be genius
at raising stock. But till you show us,
we reside in the state adjacent to sunny
Kansas. We can't help classifying you
as dub if you have a prize winner and
fail to show it.

Neau Ulm As A Farming Center.

We have boosted of the beauties of
New Ulm and the surrounding bluffs.
We have boosted of the mills and factories
that make us rank as real manufacture
ing center. We will back our town to the
limit when it is compared with any
town of it's size in the state.
But how about the country surround
ing New Ulm? Is it on a par with the
city, itself? Can the soil Of Brown
Count stand The test agriculturally as
it's county scat can commercially and in
dustrially?
You bet your life it can. Brown
County can hold it's own anywhere.
No matter how progressive town may
be, it is the soil back of it and the pro-
ducts of the soil that make it thrive or
fall. Take away the iron from the
range towns and what have you left?
Stones and dirt. And it is poor grade
of stone and a poorer grade of dirt at
that. "All prosperity is based primarily
on the soil'', says Robinson, the econo-
mist. And the prosperity Of New Ulm,
based upon the soil of the county, is a
prosperity that will last when Hibbing
and her warlike Mayor and council have
gone the way of Nineveh and Tyre.
(Now don't ask us what league they
played in.)
New Ulm is the center of a big area Of
as fertile land as was ever turned by the
plow share. The land has been farmed
for over fifty years and is producing
more diversified and better crops than
it did when the pioneers first guided
their oxen across the broad level Of the
virgin prairies. With anything like
proper care this land will never veal
out. 1t has reached the hundred dollar
an acre mark and it has passed it. 1t is
still going and will continue to increase
in value. If Robinson knows what he
is talking about when he says that
prosperity rests primarily upon the soil
New Ulm needn't worry about the
future. We are fixed on as firm a basis
as old Father Time, himself.

SPECTACLE HAS
SUPERB BALLET
Three Hundred Dancing Girls Fea-
ture Of Ringing Bros. Gigantic
,Pantomime.
Cast Includes 1850 Characters.

A gigantic wordless play, Solomon and
the Queen of Sheba, is the feature OF this
seasons Ringing Brothers circus. Said
to be the most magnificent production of
it's kind ever presented in America, it in
cludes cast Of 1880 actors, a ballet of
300 dancing girls and train load OF spe
cial scenery, costumes and accessories. It
is enacted upon stage of mammoth pro-
portions. It was given for period of
five weeks at the Coliseum, Chicago, this
spring and will be presented here on
Tuesday, August Oath, exactly as it was
shown there.
The dramatic action is supplemented
by choruses of thousand voices and an
orchestra of 80 musicians augmented by a
great cathedral organ. The whole is pro-
duced under the personal direction OF
AL. Ringing, assisted by Ottokar Bartik,
ballet master of the Metropolitan Opera
House, and corps of stage directors.
The scenery was painted in Italy, and the
costly properties, such as the symbolical
utensils, chariots, thrones, armor and
trappings, designed and executed by Eu-
! ropean craftsmen. The spectacle por-
trays the most interesting events and
scenes of Solomon's reign in Israel. The
days and characters of a period one
thousand years before the Christian era
are made to live again amid the pomp
and splendor which surrounded Solomon
in all his glory" The judgment hall,
the palaces, streets and the temple OF
proud Jerusalem are reproduced with
striking effect. The scene enacted when
Balkis, the beautiful Queen of Sheba,
comes with her retinue and camel caravan
to prove the wisdom and wealth OF Solo
mon, is one of the most magnificent in the
history of stage craft. The pageants are
of enormous size and brilliancy for the
costumes and accoutrements surpass
those of any spectacle yet produced IN
this country. Almost 700 horses appear
in the professionals, all richly caparisoned
in silver-mounted harness and velvet
coverings
