Engaged to John Shuler. the finest

THAT'S true enough, Allie"
Mrs. Mangan and her daughter were
sewing in their tiny living room during
this conversation. Two weeks before
Alice had finished her first year in col

Shuler and it was love affair at first.
Alice was working her way through
college by being an assistant teacher.
Her mother, left widow with two
little girls when very young. had made
q brave fight to educate her children.
Alice had been a wonderful help with
the housework and sewing, and later
with tutoring.
Things were looking much better for
them now, as Mrs. Mangan had been

DROPSY TREATED FREE
BY DR.. Miles, the Great Specialist,
Who Sends $3.75 Trial Treat
ment Free.
Many Report Cured After Doctors
Failed.

At first no disease is apparently
more harmless than dropsy; a little
swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet,
ankles or abdomen. Finally great
shortness of breath, cough, faint
spells, sometimes nausea and vomiting,
and lingering and wretched death
if the dropsy is not cured. 81
DR.. Miles has been known as "a Lead
ing specialist in these diseases for so
years. His liberal offer Of $3.75
Treatment free to all sufferers is GER
tainly worthy of serious consideration.
You may never have such an opportun-
ity again. e,
The Grand Drorpsy Treatment CON
Esists of four dropsy remedies in one,
|talso Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for
removing the water. This treatment
is specially prescribed for each pa
tient and is three times as successful
as that of most physicians. It usual
ly relieves the first day and removes
the swelling in six days in most cases.
Delay is dangerous.

MISCHA ELMAN DELIGHTS
LARGE MINOT AUDIENCE
Noted Russian violinist Appeared at
the Auditorium Tuesday Evening
"A Master Of the Violin.

A large audience greeted Mischa
Elman, the noted Russian vi0linist, at
the Auditorium Tuesday evening, and
all were greatly pleased with the pro-
gram rendered.
The splendid concert was made pos
sible by Supt. l.. A. White of the Mi
not High School, who secured the at
traction at considerable trouble. The
high school guaranteed the $1,250
charged by Elman for the one nights
performance and Mr.. White was COM
peeled to place the artist in one other
city in North Dakota in order to get
him to come west at all, Fargo being
| the only other city in the state where
| he will appear. Elman came here di-
rect from Chicago. The entertainment
was sponsored BY the Wednesday Mus
ical Club. the Minot Rotary Club and
the Association of Commerce and the
| famous Minot Town Criers acted as
the publicity agency, doing an effective
Job. The entertainment paid expenses,
which was about all Supt. White hop
ed that it might do.
The writer does not claim any great
distinction as critic, but if there is
anything that Elman failed to accom-
plsh on his violin, we fail to see what
it could be. He produces wonderful
tone, and his technique is faultless.
He does no grandstanding appar-
emily realizes that what the public
come out. for is to hear him play the
violin, and from his first appearance
on the stage to the final curtain, that
is just what he does. Some of his
numbers were rendered in manner
that appeared to be almost impossible,
and yet, to his master hand they were
as easy as Turkey in the Straw" to
an ordinary fiddler. In one number
he carried the melody on one string
and accompanied it with trill with
two other fingers-don't ask us how
he does tive don't know how-but
he does it.
We do not feel capable of giving
Mr.. Elman's performance an adequate
description. He is considered by au-
thorities to be one of the greatest
violinists of the day-and after hear
ing him perform we are in no manner
! tempted to dispute the musical au-
thorities.
Mr.. Elman's violin is a genuine
"Strad," one of the very few instru-
ments of it's kind in the world, and is
valued at $4,000.
