Being True to Ones Self.

Following is from "The Simple
Truth" by Ernest C. wilson
ut is sometimes taught that life is
not for happiness, but for experience,
and that he who aspires to happiness
seeks in vain. Sometimes, too, just
the reverse of this ACCOMPLISHMENT Is
impressed upon the students mind !;
that happiness is the true goal of life
and flat jubilance is the first duty of
the aspiring soul If we conceive ex-
perience as means of self-unfold-
ment, and happiness TO mean. not
abandonment, but allegiance to that
which is best in us, the two state
ments are reconcied, and express a
truth. The souls highest duty and
greatest pleasure are one, and both
are fulfilled when man is true to him

When our women folks went to
take in the wash they were surprised
to find that some choice lace that had
been placed on the line was missing
Later they observed robin sitting on
the line with his gaze directed to
garment to which he soon flew and
began to pull at part of it, Know
ing that pair of robins had built
nest in the tree nearby, the folks
thought that perhaps the birds had
taken the lace into their nest. Tnvas-
tigatiOn proved this to be correct, as
the lace formed part of the nest
walls. After the robins were done
with the nest the lace was recovered
but i'll hardly good condition. A.

WCmen'S Club Notes

The musicale, arranged by the

enjoyable affair. The program was
carried out as published, with these
exceptions: The P. A. orchestra was
unable to be present and the Gill
orchestra supplied the opening num-
bers Of the program. This was espe-
cially appreciated as they freely gave
their time upon very short notice:

To mention any one number would
hardly be fair because every one who

fectly that every number was delight
full. We think, however, that especial
mention should be made of three num-
bers, the vocal solo by Marion
Churchill, who looked so sweet and
sang SO beautifully; the dance by
Catherine Valleau, Catherine Gates
and Cornelia Mould, which must have
taken much practice and was so
gracefully done; and the duet by
Rebecca Camp and Roberta Powers
which was too cute for words and cap
tured every heart in the audience
Much credit is due Mrs. Donald

and her splendid helpers for this most,
successful entertainment.

acknowledge their indebtedness to the

Obituary-Lyman M. Darling

The Community was shocked to learn
OF tie death Of Lyman M. Ring. who
passed away on Dec. 26 at the Illinois
Masonic hospital, where he has gone for
expert advice and treatment. The tuner
al was held from the Congregational
church at Morris vile Friday afternoon, the
Rev. Mr.. Goodliffe officiating in very
cumfot ling manner. The bearers were
Mr.. Darling's brothers, Adds, Abrani,
Roy and brother-n-law, Fred E. Camp
bill. The floral tributes were profuse and
beautiful and showed the esteem in which
the deceased was held. Interment was in
the family lot at Hyde Park.
Mr.. Darling was born in Hyde Park
Dec. 25, 1877, the son of Aquilla A. Oar.
ling and Lois Leach. one of eleven children,
five of whom survive, Roy of Windsor,
Aids of Hyde Park, Abram of Craftsbury,
Dr.. A. B. Darling of kokomo, Ind, and
Mrs. |. R. Vaughan of Chicago. He is
survived by an elderly father, also wife
and daughter and son to whom he has
been devoted husband and a real father. /
To these especially is extended the deepest
sympathy.
The deceased was in every sense of the
word self made man, having worked his
way through high school and college. He
was graduate of Peoples Academy, Nor
risville, where he obtained very high rank
in the class of 1898; obtained A. B. from
the University Of Vermont, class of O3,
and had recently completed work for M.
A degree at the same institution. Ne

by the State Dept. as District ;
oupt of Schools for eight years in which s
work he ranked among the first. He was !
United in marriage fifteen years ago to An =,
lie M. Grimes of Hyde Park. the family
low residing at Waterbury.
A thorough student, energetic, never as
lrlng to high honor for the sake of the
anne, but conscientious and untiring in
very task, Mr.. Darling manifested unus-
al interest in affairs of the world and
we'd life.
His devotion to his home, family and
ooks had kept him from joining fraternal
CARNATIONS. Although not a church

The New Ulm Gas Company had
another broken main to contend with
Tuesday afternoon. The break was
discovered about eleven o'clock. It
was near the Gas plant and fortunate
ly for people living up town, it was
possible to repair the damage as
quickly as the pipe could be gotten
out. This was because the break oc-
Cured just where the mains divide,
one to 60 towards the quarter called
GoosetoWn,', the other to come up
town. The people Of the south and

gas for some time, but it was possible
to plug the east-end main SO that
there was no great delay to consumers
living this side Of the Gas plant.

COMPETING TODAY
HOWARD VOGEL AS SUB-DIST.
CHAMPION REPRESENTS
,... NEW ULM.
LAURELS WON AT ST. PETER
MUST BE DEFENDED AT
MANKATO.
- I'D

Today the champions among the
contestants for oratorical and declama-
tory honors will compete at Mankato
for first place in the district and New
Ulm will be represented in the contest
by Howard Vogel, who took first
honors among the boys at the St.
Peter contest, February 10. The win
ners at the Mankato contest will later
60 to Minneapolis to compete for the
state championship. ..
First Place In Sub-District.
When the sub-district contest was
held at St. Peter, Howard was given
first place by two of the three judges.
The other judge gave him fourth place.
Howard's ability as a public speaker
has become we'll known to his fellow
students and to the New Ulm public,
generally. His ringing voice and pleas
ing stage appearance give him a lead
over others less favora bly, endowed.
It is real pleasure to listen to him for
every word he speaks is clear and
distinct as bell. Moreover, he looks
as if he thoroughly enjoys doing it and
is perfectly at home on his feet. A
wonderful memory is also of much
value to him in his work and there is
no reason why he should not forge
ahead and win honors for himself as a
public speaker in days to come. NJ
Howard chose as his selection for
this years contest, Bryan's ''Value of
an IDEAL" Bryan, himself is one of
the greatest orators of America and
his public speeches are, no doubt,
written with the purpose in mind of
impressing his hearers and they are
suited for just that thing, and Howard S
choice was an excellent one.
The schools competing at St. Peter
were New Ulm, Mankato, St. Peter,
LIE Sueur, Cleveland, Lake Crystal, and
Henderson. In the girls contest
Mankato took first honors and Miss
Marion Daley will represent her city
at today's contest. Her selection is
"The Man in the Shadow" Second
and third places went to Cleveland,
Mankato, St. Peter and Henderson.
The New Ulm representative among
the girls at the St. Peter contest was
Eliza beth Hintz. Her selection was
"Strong Heart, A number of those
who heard the work felt that Miss
Hintz should have at least had thirG
place as one judge gave her second
another one third, and the third judge
fourth place. The last mentioned
judge was the same judge who gave
Howard fourth place. The Judge.
