of course this might be the absolute
truth, for l can find no place in your
letter where you deny this assertion.
OF course, some cows are more grace
full than others, and your friends
may think you are an exceptional
cow. The best way to train to be a
dancer is in a pasture by jumping
fences, eating fodder and inhaling
new mown hay. If you are suscep-
tible to this style of training, you
will soon acquire the ability of
antelope, and possibly,
after ninety-six years of constant
training you may be able to dance
the 'Old Soldiers Hornpipe." If at
any time you should get discouraged,

SOME LETTERS TO UNION
CITY ELKS OF PROMINENCE

When the committee in charge of
the Big Elks' Minstrel first began to
select talent for the show, many of
our most prominent citizens were
asked to participate. In an attempt
to do their best most of them wrote
letters to famous actors, singers and
composers, seeking advice as to how
to acquit themselves were they to
qualify for this mammoth musical
production.
Needless to say, most of those who
were first thought of for the cast of
the minstrel, have been thrown into
the discard, but, like all "good fell
lows" they have purchased, sold and
given away many tickets for the big
show realizing that il is going to be
the biggest affair of it's kind ever
pulled off" in this meek of the
woods
Many of the answers to the Quer-
les have fallen into the hands of the
editor, and, with the permission of
those to whom the letters were writ
ten, they are herewith given to The
public.
Easily Penick was asked to do a
song and dance>in the ninth act. He
wrote to George Cohan for advice,

the name of your quartet, judging

that hiss. We would also ask that
you appear behind masks, and that
you have the manager string strong
net across the front of the stage.
This is generally used to keep out
cabbages from coming up and kissing
your solid craniums. Don't attempt
to sing grand opera-in fact, we
would advise you not to sing at all.
