DANISH COLLEGE AT TYLER
BURNS

Tyler, Mimi, Feb. 26.-The
Danebod college building here
was destroyed by fire, Sunday
noon. The students were at dim
ner when the principal, Rev. Th.
knudsen, noticed a peculiar odor
and upon investigation found
that part of the building near
the chimney, on the third floor,
was in flames.
He quietly walked back to the
dining room with tear-dimmed
eyes, and told the students to
hurry to their rooms and remove
their personal belongings. The
work was done Systematically
and but very little save the
building was lost. One student
from Askov, Herluf Rasmussen,
was visiting friends elsewhere in
the community when the fire
broke out SO he lost his personal
belongings, including a good cor
net.
Help was summoned from the
village, but owing to the lack Of
water nothing could be done to
save the building. The structure
was valued at about $4,000, but
insurance on same was less than
half.
The original part of Danebod
College was built in 1888, shortly
after Rev. H. J. Pedersen, de-
ceased, came to that Danish
settlement. About Is years la
er, when Rev. TIL. Knudsen, the
present principal, had taken
charge, a large addition was
built, giving ample room for
a'or' 20 students. 1t was 9

SANDSTONE MINSTREIlS
MAKE MERRY

The Sandstone Minstrels held
sway at the opera house last
Thursday and Friday evenings
and were greeted by two large
and enthusiastic audiences.
Sandstone has had some excep-
tionally fine minstrel shows in
years gone by, and this company
kept up the high standard of the
former ones. There was fun
galore, and the snappy way in
which it was pulled off was o
pleasant surprise to all who at
tended. Ensemble singing, quar-
tets, duets, solos, jokes. clog and
sword dancing, etc, followed
each other in quick succession,
and the efficient way everything
was handled speaks very we'll for
the actors and for Mr.. Grenell,
who did the coaching, as the
whole affair was planned and
prepared in a very short period
Of time.
X. Fuhlbruegge as interlocuter
and O. Hemstad, G. Ingraham, H
Robey and w. Baidridge as end
men took their parts like pro
fessionals, and praise is due
every member who participated
Miss Dazzel, who officiated al
the piano, was also largely re-
sponsible for the very creditable
performance given.
After the performance on Fri
day evening a dance was giver
md was enjoyed by quite a large
number.
The Grasston orchestra fur
nished the music.
The troupe has decided to in
wade Finlayson on Friday night
and it is expected that quite {
number Of Sandstone people viii
accompany them.
A genuine old fashioned sleigh
ride party is being planned ane
all who are interested should no
tify K. r. Fuhlbrugge or some
member of the company at once
that accommodations may be pro
vided, A dance will be giver
there after the show. Visit oul

Mr.. Dave Marion, star eomidue, the one
and only "Snuffy the CabDaan," probably
was the only actor that was present in
the Senate and House when the state
OF war was declared with Germany
Manager Jarboe. of the Gayety Theater,
and he stuck to the wee hours in the
morning to hear the decision Of Con-
gress on such a grave and serious meas
ure. Many of Mr.. Marion's friends, seat
ed near him In the gallery, predicted that
Mr.. Marion's undivided attention to the
different Congressmen's addresses was
due to the fact that he could conceive
a wonderful idea for a production. Mr.
Marion Is considered one Of the smartest
men In the show business and 1t was
only the matinee after the night before
when Congress voted 373 to 80 on the
war resolution that Mr.. Marion sang a
very clever song on the war conditions,
without even having time to prepare mu-
sic. but II took the house by storm.
Mr.. Marion had the pleasure of meet
ing and shaking hands with his old-tims
friend. the Hon. Joseph p. TumuIty, sec
retary to the President, while at the SEN
ate Wednesday night.

u. S. Too Late to Aid,
Say German Experts

Berlin. April 6.-While a great many of
the German newspapers profess to see no
real cause for alarm in the entrance Of
the United States in the war on the side
Of the allies, they continued today to
criticize President Wilson In a bitterly
hostile manner.
Among military critics the belief IL held
that the United States comes into the
conflict too late to give the entente any
real help. This view is expressed by
Maj. Moraht. one Of the leading war ex-
perts in Germany, and is shared by
Count Won Reventlow, authority on polit-
ical and naval matters.
1t would be a year. the military experts
say. before the United States could put
an army Of any size in the field in Eu-
rope, and in addition there 10 a scarcity
of transports and big guns.

Kill at once every fly you car
find and burn his body. Oh
servers say there are many
reasons to believe there will be
more flies this season than for a
mum ber of years.
The killing of just one fly now
means there will be billions and

Clean up your own premises;
see and insist that your neigh
Dor does likewise.

Birds Trained to Fish.

AS hawks were trained to hunt, a
peculiar species of bird was trained to
fish. The bird found to be most adapt
able for the purpose was the cormo-
rant an oceanic bird, similar to the
pelican and feeding almost exclusive
ly on fish. 1t is intermediate in size,
between a duck and goose, and some
OF the thirty species inhabiting the
world have beautiful plumage which
hns a sheen of green, blue and purple.
