MUSICAL TREAT IN
 STORE FOR THE CITY

The Schumann Quintet, one of the best known organizations of talented and accomplished musicians, will give recital Friday evening, at the Shriners' temple, and music lovers of the city will have an opportunity to enjoy some good music, of which it is believed they will take full advant- age.
 Of the Schumann Quintet, it is said that they provide music which, while satisfying the desires of the super critical, is most thoroughly enjoyed also by the less highly attuned ear. The program will be of most admir-, able type, combining selections of the most classical type with numbers that are more generally popular.
 The Shriners have been receiving better support recently, in their lyceum entertainments, and it is be- lieved the Schumann Quintet will establish a record attendance for the series.

Because you thought I was such Il blind, silly fool, I couldn't look past your prop erty and your ill-luck, and see how splendid you really are.

When Toads Get New Suit.

Toads change their skin periodi- cally. It is most interesting per- fOrmance, says writer in the Ma tional Review. The old skin splits right down the back, and the toad proceeds to divest himself of it in exactly the same fashion as human being takes off jersey. The old skin, as it is pulled off, is rolled to- ward the reptiles mouth, where 1t dis appears, for it is swallowed.

Bubbles are round because the air which forms the inside of the bubble pushes with equal strength against all parts of the thin film of water that surrounds 1t.
