Over seven years ago the bowl con-

With no other bowl to provide a
habitat for the fish, Nose Stintsman
picked it up and chucked it into an
unused cistern in the rear of the store.
Then when the broken pieces of the
bowl were cleaned out every one
promptly forgot the fish.
Over seven years ago. And recently
Mr.. Stintsman decided to clean out
the cistern, Among the broken bot
ties, tin cans and bits of rubbish they
found the fish. He was hale and
hearty and very full of life He hadn't
grown fraction of an inch and looked
as natural as an old pair of shoes.

Lyceum Attraction
Monday Night
BELL RINGING MALE QUARTET
TO APPEAR HERE SOON IN
SPLENDID PROGRAM

NEW HOPE-Four clever young
American lads have exploded a theory
or two concerning the much discussed
music of the Swiss hand bell artists.
1t has long been thought that the
Swiss musicians We're the masters of
hand bell music.
The Bell Ringing Male Quartet not
only disproved this belief, but they adj
to the musical numbers of their pro-
gram modern, up-to- -the-mirute en-
tertainment of vocal and instrumental
work which is surpassed in modern
lyceum.
In the bell ringing work these young
Americans are at their best and they
handle the seventy odd bells with a
dexterity which is amazing, and from
their enorts the audience is able to
enjoy the wonderful chimes and toral
combinations of the Swiss hand bells.
EVERYWHERE on their present tour
the Bell Ringing Male Quartet has met
with popular favor. The bell ringing
never fails as a novel attraction and
it rounds out a diversified entertain
ment which people like. There is lots
of snap and punch" in their program.
1t is real quartet entertainment, with
lots Of fun, lots Of melody and lots of
instrumental and novelty features, in
cluding the bell ringing, and then, too,
is added clever sketch and impersona-
ton work. The Bell Ringers Quartet
is distinctively an organization of
worth and offers something which is
new in the field of modern entertain
ment

South Africa
Progressing

The Ioyalists of South Africa, head
ed by General SHUTS, won great vic
tory in the recent elections, and as a
result the provinces of the Cape of
Good Hope, Transvaal, Natal and
Orange Free State will continue as
one of the self-governing dominions OF
the British empire instead of setting
up an Independent republic. The op-
position was led by General Hertzog,
who asserted the right of South Africa
to secede from the empire despite the
act of union.
In India a more liberal self-govern-
ment was put into effect last week
when Prince, Arthur of Connaught ar
rived at Delhi as personal representa-
tive of the emperor, King George, and
issued a proclamation announcing the
surrender of much government power
to the native princes.

celved two year books, one for her
self and one for her secretary? If

plans and methods by which the Con-
gress can be of greater benefit to local

Jersey is urged to send it's president
or her representative to the presi-
dents meeting annually.
