man that his wife died. He buried her
near his doorstep and at her side he
dug his own grave. AS the years
passed the wood with which he had
boarded up the interior of his ex-
pected tomb rotted away and again
and again he replaced it, fighting
against the elements to preserve the
spot where he hoped to die.
A half century passed, then seventy
years elapsed, and the grave still
yawned for an occupant. Finally un-
able to longer shift for himself he was
taken to the home of son at Lodi
where he died at the age of LOG. In
the meantime the homestead had been
sold and Sharks bones now repose in

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SING

Many persons in and near Bara,
boo are missing a lot of fun by not
joining the singing class which meets
at the high school on Tuesday even
ing of each week, for the purpose Of
singing just for the IMMIGRATION 1t
gives. One often hears it said that
the Americans are the worst singers
in the world, while residents of many
other countries are prone to indulge
in the pleasant pastime Many think
their duties are so numerous, their
time too occupied to make the effort.
The average American does not play
ball, he goes to see experts on the
diamond; he does not read or act
plays, he hurries to a theater; he
does not take the trouble to learn
to play a musical instrument, he
listens to men who are hired for the
purpose. At the church on Subway
the program is largely continued, he
does not sing, he listens % the choir.
How was it fifty years ago? There
were many singing schools then and
many voices heard in the pews.
There should be enough people in
Baraboo to compose large orches-
ira and enough more to fill the high
school auditorium with desire to
use their voices. All cannot sing but
with Professor Gordon of Madison,
one of the ablest leaders in the state,
to direct, there should be enough
who desire to liberate their voices
to make the big room ring. The
members of the local committee are
making every effort to make the
evenings hours real JOY in the
musical line and great is the loss to
those who do not embrace the op
portunity.
Plato said: Musical training is e
more potent instrument than amy
other, because rythm and harmony
find their way into the secret places
