number for your approval. Miss Mil.

and at the same time will initiate the
plaintive strains Of a violin and &C.

violin part. A false impression seems
to be prevalent that Miss Miller uses
a mechanical contrivance to produce
this violin imitation but this Is not
true. She uses her lips and her nat
ural resources"
This unconscious bit OF liumor On
the part Of the official announcer On
the Jolly Boys Minstrel at the High
school last night was the hit OF the
piece and brought the house down
with a roar. Miss Miller's Natural

press notices had promised and she
was encored number Of times.
The other numbers OF the program
were In the main c~ecitable to the
high school and the spectators who
filled the large auditorium to over.
flowing were well pleased with the
show. Every one laughed and some
of them laughed until they cried. The
fact that many persons laughed at the
wrong time and were touched with
sorrow by the failure OF some hard
thought out joke to get over made the
show enjoyable at the most unexpect.
ed times. AS usual good orchestra &C.
Compartment and singing and dancing
made up the program and with the
exception Of few times when the
curtain failed to work properly or
some Of the boys missed their cue the
show went off with splendid swing
and action.
