ToDAY'S BELLRINGER

There is a certain public man in
Glasgow who is noted for two things
his quick wit and pride in his Celtic
origin.
He was walking down the street
one fine evening with an EngIshman,
when the latter, looking at the sky,
remarked, "HOw bright Orion is to-
night"
"A-r-rh!" replied the GIaswegian,
$50 that is Organ, is it? Well,
thank the Lord there's one Hishman

JAPAN IN SONG AND STORY.

No land has quite the picturesque
qualities as has Japan. In customs,
traditions, dress and physical traits,
the Japanese have for the European
mind quaint charm which has ap-
pealed particularly to the musician.
The love for flowers and the habit of
associating these with so many festi-
val occasions, brings an element of
beauty which, along with artistic tai
ents in many lines, has given Japan
characteristics of interest to the world.
Much of all this has been celebrated
in song as well as the traits that may
appeal to us as being delightfully."-
humorous. Perhaps the most noted
of all musical efforts Japanically in
spired is the popular opera "The
Mikado," by Sullivan. The charm of
the stake pictures no doubt had as
much to do with its success as did the
delightful music and the sparkling
wit of the lbretto. While this opera
makes fun of Japanese traits, there is
no malice in it, and throughout one
admires the element of beauty and
daintiness evidenced in characteristic
Japanese gesture and action. Many
spell of Japan's many legends. In
relates a story of lovers parting and
here is also the association of flowers
with festival customs. The music
does not attempt to do more than sug-
gest the orient, while full of beautiful
melody, it has the proper note of
emotion underlying the lovers ira
gedy. Now the quaint little Jap doll
is familiar object to most of us-in
dolly-land its strange dress and queer
little face must set it apart in way to
increase the lonliness of strange
land; the Japanese maiden tells us in
song of her life in far-awav Japan,
and so the little Jap doll sings, too, of
her plight. Again tragedy hardly less
poignant than the lovers parting. is
the situation wherein one sees his
sweetheart day after day and yet may
not speak to her nor reach her in
any wav; here is a state of affairs duly
recorded in song. Madame Butterfly
is an imaginative character familiar
to many-her fate, brought about by
national customs and American care
lessness, makes a story of infinite
pathos. This has formed the basis of
one of the most popular of all operas
in modern times: Puccini's Madame
Butterfly. Again in the opera pictures
the beauty of Japan's customs is most
evident The story, as told by Luther
Long needs no music to give it charm,
even to arouse our sympathies for the
poor, unhappy Butterfly. Other lands
have varied charms, but Japan is
touched with beauty in so many ways
that it is no wonder music should
yield to the romance of it. Music and
beauty should be inseparable. The
Girls Glee Club of the College OF
Idaho forthcoming annual concert
will be devoted to Japan in song and
story and a program of unusual sort
will be offered. This concert will be
given on Monday evening, March 9th
at the Huree Theatre.

SPRING is HERE.

If am any judge
OF what | saw out Canyon way
Last Sunday afternoon.
High on the cliff
And on the stony sides
Flashed colored dresses
Among the lava rocks,
The railroad track
Was alive with shuffling pairs,
Some trod the ties
Two or three crow-hops
And then a long one.
And vice versa.
By the bridge piers
Lounged lazy mortals.
On the river banks stood others.
Or sat,-looking at the muddy stream
And wishing that they
Were home again.
Around the station house
They crowded, like sheep
About a wagon load of hay,
| Waiting a car to watt them
Back to the Uttered table
And cold potatoes
OF the MONDAY meal.
| And nearer town
| Were some drifting back,
And their heavy feet
| Were constantly dragging
Their tracks out.
And I said to myself:
ut must be Spring again" p. T.

GRAVEL AND SUDDEN DEATH

Ever since the discovery of uric
acid in the blood by Scheele, in 1775,
and the bad effect it had upon the
body, scientists and physicians have
striven to rid the tissues and the blood
of this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
scitica. It was Dr.. Pierce Who dis
covered new agent, called "Anuric"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-

potent than lithia, and consequently
you need no longer fear muscular or
articular rheumatism or govt, or many
other diseases which are dependent on
