DODE FISKS COME
TO KNIGHTS BALL
Old Time Favorites to Appear
in Morris Aga After Absence
of Five Years Z

The Dode Fisk orchestra, of Bara-
boo, Wis.,, highly popular in Morris
from five to ten years ago when all
the old steps were in vogue, will visit
the city again Friday evening next
week to furnish music at the grand
ball to be given at the armory by the
members of St. Edwards Council,
Knights of Columbus. All the old
members are still playing with the or
chestra but several new pieces have
been added.
Prospects are encouraging for a
large attendance and the committee is
sparing no pains to make this ball
eclipse all former undertakings. The
program offers a variety of steps
that will be sure to please both young
and old and many who have not ap-
peared on the dance floor for at least
a dozen years have annuouced their in
tentions to be present. Fine weather
is hoped for. B

The Blue of sanphires.

Star sapphires are generally of a
grayish blue tint, and the star is ex-
hibited in it's greatest perfection when
looked at by the light Of the sunoor a
candle. The sapphire is found of ali
tints and shades Of blue, but the color
which approximates to the shade for
merly called "bleu do roi' is the most
valuable. A really fine sapphire should
appear blue by artificial light as we'll
as by day. This stone is found in
crystals generally of much larger size
than the ruby. The name sapphire is
perhaps the only one which runs
through all languages with very slight
alteration-the Hebrew name sapphir,
the Chalda sapirinon, the Greek zaf-
firos, the Latin sapphirus, etc.

no Find the Water Level In Soil.

In the Farm and Fireside is the fol-
lowing advice to the farmer who is
about to plant his crops: -.
"The water level is term used in
speaking about soils. 1t means the
depth in the ground where the soil is
saturated with moisture. * q"
'To find it simply take post hole
digger and dig down. until water
stands at the bottom of the hole. Do
this in an ordinary season when the
ground has about the average amount
of moisture. For most crops the water
level should be about three feet below
the surface, for alfalfa at least five
feet. A water level two to three feet
deep is excellent for the majority Of
farm crops,'' "

The Gentle Bloodhound.

No real reason exists for the COM
mon belief that the bloodhound is a
fierce animal, ready to tear the person
whom it may be tracking to pieces. 1t
is, on the contrary, rather noted for
it's gentleness, even seeming timid, un-
less especially trained to attack. The
origin of the breed, according to Count
lie Couteulx de Canteleu, the greatest
living authority on the subject, is from
the ST. Hubert of st. Hubert's abbey
In the Ardennes. 1t dates from the
earliest ages, and the breed certainly
existed in the time Of the Gauls. As
regards the name bloodhound, the
Count LIE Couteulx believes that when
fox hunting in something like it's pres.
ent form was instituted it was found
that the sleuthhound was not fast
enough for the purpose, and the pres
ent foxhound was evolved from vari-
GUS material, and about this time 1t
became usual in speaking of the old
hound of the country to call him the
bloodhound, meaning the hound OF
pure blood (as might be said of q
blooded horse), to distinguish him from
the new hound or foxhound. There is
only one breed of pure, genuine blood
hounds, and that is the English.-Ar-

a foot race of great personal interest
to Obadiah. His neighbor, Silas, saw
the race start in a fair field and saw
Obadiah putting his best foot forward
and mending his gait at every step in
an eagerness to make the creek, a
good mile away. Obadiah, Logging it
at the peak of his effort, managed to
make the bank scant few feet in ad-
vance Of the bull and essayed to leap
the thirty feet between the banks. He
landed in the middle of the creek.
Silas observed this dispassionately and
looked back over the mile of field with
judging eye. He hitched his Shout

Manager Dubeau will put on the Tri-

which carries with it especially fine
music.
There are still lot of people who
envy royalty. They cans help wishing
they were ruling country or even a
principality, enjoying the pleasures
and privileges Of court life.
But Wallace Reid, as "Prince Karl"
the heir to the throne in "Old Heidle-
berg" did not feel that he occupied a
very enviable position. During his
boyhood he was not permitted to mix
with playmates of his own age, and
enjoy the fun. He was kept under the
watchful eye of tutor to be sure that
nothing happened to his precious life.
For the completion of his education,
Prince Karl was sent to college at
Heidelberg. There he got his first
real taste of fellowship, small as it
was. His brother collegians tried
their best to treat him as their equal.
They drank beer with him. They play
ed with him, and Prince Karl for the
first time in his life was really enjoy
ing himself. While at college he met
"Kathie," the daughter of an old SOL
der who had been wounded for the
honor of his country-a girl he had
once met in childhood but had never
been permitted to see. Kathie was the
only girl Prince Karl had lever met"
Soon after he began to love her with
all the ardor of youth. Life was
sweet at last.
But at home the country was in
trouble. His people needed him to
protect their interests. For diploma
tic reasons the King had arranged a
match between Karl and a princess of
neighboring state. 1t was up to the
prince to answer the call on his coun-
try and do his duty, or give up his
lady love. Wouldn't you like to see
