Mr.. Reimers has won his way in the

school in Hamburg. AS child he was
taught plano and violin, but, although
his parents did all they could to en-
courage his musical taste, they would
not hear of his taking up music as a
profession. Accordingly he studied
law for several years, to crafty his
parents desire.

With these reductions alone it means
a saving of fuel in Denison of from

not to hold special meetings for the
