can be proved such then there

reasonable cause for suspicion Of Sc

The second evening was occupied

vivid, picturesque. striking. and
glows with energy TO his finger tips,
He is Of course fully versed in the
history and customs Of Greece, and
also has a unique and humorous
way Of relating personal expert
ences. We doubt If there is anoth-
er lecturer on the boards who can
talk so much about himself and get
away with II SO well as Nayphe
can. His rich stage setting OF rare
Oriental tapestries is u veritable
riot of color. and Nayphe himself is
a sort of human rainbow in his
wonderful costume. Six local girls
assisted him In demonstrating the
beautiful Grccian garments which
he carries in his almost priceless
collection.

lecture by f. J. Adams, state

who in an hours discourse left with
the people of Weston a storehouse
of information on the subject. Mr..
Adams is convincing speaker and a

Becker, ST., of Oldham, S. D., drunk On
a train near Kansas City nearly two
years ago in order to induce him to
buy some Texas real estate?
This is the question at stake in a
suit on trial before Judge Elliott in The
United States district court wherein
Shary is suing Becker for $500 ON III
unfulfilled transaction.
According to the complaint Becker
gave his notes after taking an excur-
sion with Shary in May, 1916, when the
land was visited. Later he reneged On
the payment.
Becker in his answer charges that
Shary or his agents diligently piled
Becker with liquor OF the train While
returning from Texas and by fraud
caused him to sign the notes for land
he did not want. He claims when he
saw the land he thought the price too

Accordingly Becker filed a counter

more often it is only evidenced by Ger

the appeal to produce more TODD while
they are handicapped by what o ap-
