CAN DO.

Picture to yourself two priests in
an immense African wilderness, with
forty stations to visit, ten schools to
supervise, and all the other tasks that
fall to the lot OF priest to perform.
1t seems impossible that even hardy
and courageous missionaries can
grapple with such difficulties, but
Father G. Ollier, l.. AT. NJ, who re-
sides at Warrf Nigeria, has only one
assistant to share his labors. He
sends this letter to the Propagation
of the Faith Society:

MUSIC LOVERS
ENJOY CONCERT
-Four vocalists and Two Instrumental
lists Give Delight to Audience
in Odd Fellows Temple.

Brattleboro music lovers are indebt-
ed to Mrs. Arthur H. Brasor and Mrs. |
Z. d. Whitney for delightful musical
evening, when program was rendered
in Odd Fellows temple by Mrs. Brasor,
dramatic soprano; Anna Howe Hunt
ting, 'cellist; Helen Campbell Triplett
soprano; J. j. Walsh, tenor; Frederic
G. Adams, baritone; and Miss Izetta NJ
Stewart, aceompanist.
From the opening number by Mr..
Adams to the duet by Mrs. Triplett and
Mr.. Walsh there was not an uninter-
esting moment.
Mr. Adams in his three songs, wide
ly differing but each well received, was
at his best. Mrs. Brasor gracefully ac-
cepted the early place in the program,
giving the visiting musicians the place
of honor. Unfortunately her second
number from Puccini's La Tosca (by
which he will be longest remembered)
was interrupted by the sudden extin-
gushing of the lights and when they
| were restored the audience was not fav-
ored with the rest of the song, but the
singer gave the third number. She was
received with enthusiasm and heard
with accustomed pleasure
The 'cellist, Mrs. Hunting, was de-
i lightful and charmed all Especially
virile and revealing was her rendering
of the familiar, but especially difficult
Interpretation, Liebesfreud by Kreisler
She was heard again in brace of duets
in the second part of the program.
Mrs. Triplett,s soprano, wisely intro
duced herself in the beautiful walt,
song from Gounod s Romeo and Juliet
which was gracefully given and es
peeially adapted to der clear and faeil
voice.
Mr.. Walsh, tenor, prefaced his rem
dering of Obey Speaks s enjoyable On
the Road to Mandalay, with q beautiful
number by Dvorak, and cradle song
4 Old English in style. Not, however, IN
