EARNING HIS FIRST MONEY

Forest Lake, Mimi, March 7, 1917.
Editor Brookings Register:
Short time age a request was made
through the column of the Crows
Nest" for story of how one earned their
first money. / submit the following:
Back in the '70s down in Illlonois,
IroQuois county, lived a man by the
name of Martin Lewler who was a
farmer on a large scale, had several
tenant houses on his farms. When I
was a boy nine years old l lived with
my mother in one of these houses
about one quarter mile distant from
where Mr.. Lewler lived.
Now Mr.. Lewler was an extensive
fruit grower for that section of Illinois,
having over 80 acres in apple orchard
besides all kinds of smaller fruit among
which was an Early Richmond cherry
orchard which he turned over to his
wife at picking time to take care of,
uAAh Whdt CNCl ShC LlduC OA VI IL was
hers. So she hired every one she could
to come and pick, paying them one
cent a quart for picking. l went and
being light weight she told me to climb
the trees and pick out of the top where
the choicest cherries were. What
could be more tempting to a boy than
those nice big ripe juicy cherries. Sc
l picked all day and at quitting time
in the evening she measured up my
cherries AMI succeeded in getting
them all in a quart measure and l re.
ceived one cent for my days work.
asked If l should come back the next
day and she no doubt thinking / haG
eat enough to do me told me I might
And 10 and behold the evening of the
second day I didn't have any cherries
to measure up. But take it from me
there was n boy at least who had
all the cherries he could eat but la
mented very much that the lady
wouldn't let him come back the THIRD
day. Very truly.

"ELIJAH,"

The Elijah is probably the greatest
of all oratorios since the time of Bach,
Handel and Hayden. No other oartorio
has enjoyed so much popularity as
has the Elijah" with the exception of
Handles immortal Oratorio the Mes
siah" and Haydn's Creation" these
three oratorios have held their place
as the greatest as well as the most
popular of all oratorio literature.
The Elijah" will have its first per-
Torrance in the State of South Dakota
on Friday night, March 18th, at the
State College auditorium at Brookings,
given by the State College Choral
Union assisted by the State College
Symphony Orchestra, Chapel Choir,
and soloists of national reputation.
Lucille Stevenson, of Chicago, will
sing the part of the Widow, Miss
Stevenson is well known in this part
of the country on account of her ap-
pearance with the Minneapolis Sym
phony Orchestra a number of years
ago. Harry Phillips, Baritone, of
Minneapolis, who has been heard in
Bookings as Mephisto in Faust" will
sing the title roll, Elijah" Mr.. Dwight
E. Cook, of WATERFOWL, formerly of
Chicago, will sing the part of Ahab,
and Obediah, Ida Elizabeth Trimble
and Marion Carlisle, will sing the con.
tralto parts. Walter Whitmus, tenor,
will sing the part Of the Youth"
The Elijah is one Of the few Dram.
attic Oratorios that has the flavor OF
religious sentiment, and still the dram.
attic effects are wonderful. The story
of the Prophet Elijah is so familiar
that it is not necessary to take space
to tell the story. 1t is only with the
hearing of such a work that one can
really appreciate the wonder weaving
of the music and the text into such a
master piece of writing.
Remember the date is Friday night,
March 10th, at the State College Audi.
forum, at SIS sharp. Admission SO
