When Our Joe Turns Loose.


Take look at them grave features,
ay'rage up that lanky form:
Hear him talk in sober accents that have
sich a serious charm;
See him walk the streets o Denver with
sad look in his eyes,
Like the feller was posin' for the mel
ancholy prize,
An you'd never once imagine there was
any fun inside
y the angular proportions of his Rocky
Mountain hide.
But you III find your ideas shattered, find
nell cook yer guessin' goose,
When the music starts the trouble
An our Joe turns loose.
How the gods o fun go rippin through
the Orpheum atmosphere,
Through the parquet an the boxes, clear
up to the upper tier,
An the people whoop an holler at his
tuneful funny squibs
Till they have a fierce attack o rheuma
tism In the ribs.
Every trouble is forgotten, every care
that dares advance
GIFTS a fggerative kickin' In the fulness
O the pants;
Fuss be hypnotizes people till they
haven't got no use
Fur shy at tribulation
When our Joe turns loose.

NO CONTINUATION SCHOOL.
Need for 1t Not Felt Suficient-New
Teachers Being Engaged.

Students in the city school who fail to
make their grades this year are not to
have the benefit OF the summer contini-
alton school established three years ago,
as the result of decision reached by the
school commission 1t is explained that
the need for a summer school in the
grades is not so-apparent at the present
time as in former years. Last summer
the registration Appropriated so but
lit is said that children who have been
delinquent in their studies throughout
the grades are not so numerous this
year. Then, too, there is desire on the
part of the commissioners to retrench,
inasmuch as the state appropriation has
been reduced. There will be private
schools for summer students this year,
as in the past.
Vacancies in the teaching staff of the
high school and graded schools were con-
sidered at the monthly meeting of the
school board last evening. The number
of designations this year is considerably
smaller than in recent years and the
changes TO be made are comparatively
few. Two of three pending vacancies in
the high school have been filled for 1916
1917 and a third teacher is practically
assured. Vacancies in the grades are also
being filled satisfactorily.

Senate Judiciary Committee
Voted 10 to s on the
Nomination
LONG FIGHT NOW GOES
TO SENATE FLOOR
In the Committee, the Vote
Was Strictly Along
Party Lines

Washington, d. c., May 24.-The Sen
ate Judiciary committee to-day voted 10
to to report favorably on the nomina-
tion of Louis d. Brandeis of Boston to be
associate justice of the United States
supreme court. The vote was strictly
along party lines.
The committee action remained in
doubt up to the time the vote was taken.
Public hearings were held for several
weeks by subcommittee, which sub
mitted report recommending contirma-
tion. This was done by strict party
vote, the Democrats favoring and the Re-
publicans opposing Brandeis. Since then
action by the full committee has been de-
layed chiefly by uncertainty on the part
of some Of thes Democratic members.
Recently President Wilson wrote a letter
to Senator Culberson, chairman of the
committee, urging favorable action.

CROWD AT G. S. MINSTRELs.
Students Melted More Than Enough t
Send Track Team to Burlington.

Every seat in the chapel was occupied

In the forecircle were Coach Charles
Hoernle of the baseball team, Hubbard
Loudon, William Quinn, William McIn-
tosh. Arthur Hoernle and Myron Rogers
as the black faced endmen and Donald
Arnold as the conversationalist. After
the opening chorus each contributed a

was interlarded by sharp barbed hits

Albert Goslant and Thomas Mapplebeck

forces were augmented in the solo sing

inner circle. Others who assisted Messrs.
McNabb, Faulkner, Burgess and Wark in
the chorus work were: Allen Calef, Har-
ris Soule, Harold Wallace, John Chap

Interest in the second part oentered
around the unusually clever big time"

who combined the articles of the ma
