that year brought in over $135, 900 for
anti-tuberculosis work in various pats
Of the United States. In 1909, with
more thorough organization, the sale
was increased to 100000, in 1910 to
nearly a10, 00G, in 1911 to over $780,
OCO, and in 1912 to over $4OO, 900. In
1913 the sale was increased to nearly

humanity against disease brings it
back to it's fullest usefulness.

opportunity Saturday to contribute to
this worthy movement. Last year the
contribution received here was $40,

originated.
1t was war that brought fortl the
charity stamp-our Civil war of 81

first played 'postotice" with stickers
similar to Red Cross Seals way back
in 1862. when they conceived the
idea of selling stamps at fairs for the
benefit of the relief funds for the sol.
diers' hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston
and elsewhere. Nearly 81, 100000 was

Prof. Ernest A. Boehmer yesterday
afternoon interpreted the opera lie
Jongleur de NOtre Dame, by Massen-
ct, for a number of the music lovers
of Bismarck at the home of Mrs. P. T..
Byrne in anticipation Of the recital
given by him last evening in the
Evangelical church. The opera yes.

great enthusiasm by those fortunate
enough to be present. The favorable,
impression created at that time was
enhanced last evening when he in.
terpreted the opera "Konigskinder,"
before a very a%ppreciative audience.
Outlining the symbolic meaning of
the opera as a presentation of the
eve recurring tragic p%roneness of
human nature to judge by externals
instead OF by the inner spirit, he gave
as a running commentary the story
Of the opera accompanying it with a
very artistic rendition of it's beauti.
