Young Woodruff viii
Have Excellent Cour, sci
Boy Placed In Charge of the
School Head At Lake
Crystal

George G. R. Woodruff, fourteen
year old Lake Crystal lad who at
tempted suicide by poisoning Monday
night, has been returned to Lake
Crystal and to the custody Of ]. NJ.
Snyder, principal of the high school
there. Probate Judge Harry A. John
son of this county had a long talk
with the boy yesterday afternoon and
came to the conclusion that there Is
nothing inherently had in young
Woodruff's makeup except that he has
been super sensitive to trivial Incl
dent which have at times annoyed
him. The boy has made up his mind,
according TO Judge Johnson, that for
the sake of himself and the number
OF friends VINO are doing their utmost
for him, that he will abandon any
plans of self destruction and go into
his school work with redoubled vigor.
The boy professed regret for the
trouble and Inconvenience that he
has caused his friends and particu
larly Mr.. Snyder for whom the youth
has a profound admiration. The boy
promised that hereafter he will go to
Mr.. Snyder for counsel at any time
things begin to assume unbearable
proportions and to ,alk freely and
frankly with his guardian. No court
action was taken in the case and no
charges were preferred.

and diction were remarkable. 'I
Know That My Redeemer Liveth,"
was, one Of the gems of the evening.
The climax oi the oratorio, al
though not the ending of it, is
reached in the Hallelujah chorus.
Handel said of this chorus that when
writing it Il did think / did see all
Heaven before me, and thH great God
himself" 1t was gloriousIy sung last
night and brought the audience to its
feet. The custom of standing during
the singing of this chorus has come
down from the first London ,perfor-
nance. The entire audience, includ-
Ing King George, the Third, rose to
its feet, when the passage For the
Lord God Omnipotent" was reached,
and remained standing until the end.
The orchestra of local musicians
under Mr.. Alexis Parloya, was aug
mented by ten pieces from Minneapo-
lis, several from the symphony or
chestra. The organ which added it's
bers was played by Miss Mary Ches-
hire.
To Mrs. Patterson, who had the
vision, to Mrs. Brett Taylor for her
most efficient and faithful service
who with the Orpheus club, made
possible its fruition, all honor is due.
Too much praise and credit cannot be
given to these ladies for the wonder
full song entertainment they gave to
the people of Mankato. The produc-
tion Of last evening was a signal tri-
urrph shared in by all those who par
ticipated-an event in Mankato- mu-
sical circles which time cannot efface
from the memories of those who were
