That ended the first lesson.
But Edith declined to take the

On the following day, however,
she received an invitation directed
to her and her husbanO to dine

In the left-hand corner Of the
invitation was engraved this
cdyptic line:

There was no sign Of 'Mr.

nor was any allusion made to
him at dinner. But afterward,
when the guests were gathered in
the library voluptuous room
adorned with strange things from

Shanklin signed to his African
man servant and presently ''Mr.

room.
He was a most hideous object.
It was impossible to tell at first
whether he was man or ape. His

nervously. Nearer and nearer

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis

IVY AKIN in the mornin'

hillside for some water from the
spring; stoppin for a minute jes'
to pick a clover bloom, snuffin'
in the fragrance of the dew
drenched buds perfume. Hustlin'
with the milkin' an dozen other
chores; singin' somethin' lively
that's in tune with all outdoors.
Plowin' up the big east field,
with every row in line, till the
suns straight overhead; dinner
bell sounds fine! Table full OF
splendid eats, ham of monstrous
size, cots of jellies mother made,
milk and apple pies. Back into
the field agin, sunlight beamin'
hot; gosh! I'd like to take nap
in some shaded spot. Through
the drowsy afternoon while the
heat waves rise, swallows dartin'
here an there, bees an butter
flies. Shadows CROWN sort of
long, birds are singing low; Bill
an Beck are gettin' tired, pullin'
mighty slow. Crickets sing their
evenin' song, cowbells tinklin'
near, wind is dyin' down a bit,
sky is golden clear. Sun is
sinkin' out of sight, shadows
creepin' up; deeper waves Of pur-
pie mist in the valleys cup. Time
to feed old Beck an Bill, now the
long days done, time to do my
evenin' chores at the set of sun.
Then it's good to seek the porch,
Jest to sit an rest, watchin'
changing colors blaze in the

a hint of a temptin' meal: bet

Sleeping Sickness is
Blamed for Death
Richard Klare, Wilmot Student at
State University, Died from Eff
fects of Illness Years Ago.

Recurrence of flu or sleeping sick
ness is believed to have been the
cause of the death of Richard Klare,

student at the University of Wiscon-
sin. Young Klare during the flu
epidemic several years ago had an at
tack of that disease and later suffered
from what was believed to be sleeping
sickness. 1t is thought that his death
came from recurrence of this illness
or from effects of it from which he
never fully recovered,
The remains have been brought to
the home of an aunt, Miss Sophia
Runkel in Wilmot, where funeral
services will be held Friday afternoon
at one o'clock with interment follow
ing in the family plot in the Wilmot
cemetery. The services will be in
charge of the Reverend A. P. Wake
land of Silverlake.
The deceased was member of the
Delta Sigma Chi fraternity and mem
bers of the chapter at Madison will
act as pallbearers at the funeral. In
addition to relatives named in previ-
Gus notices of the death, the de-
ceased is survived by an aunt, Mrs.
A. J. Kype of St. Paul and an uncle

Smoke Out Dane

Monroe, visa resolution urging
Dane county to match the progressive
spirit of Dane county by paving high
way AZ to meet the Green county con-
crete now completed, has been passed
by the board of supervisors. To show
their continued interest in highway

ishing of a small strip south of Mon
roe remaining to be done before
highway az is concreted from the H.
linois line to Dane county, north and
south, a total of 80 miles, through
Monticello and New Glarus. If Dane
county sees fit to pave AZ using the
route newly elected by the legislat-

then furnishes a route on into Mad

stretch of concrete from Madison to
Chicago, via Monroe and Freeport,
with the sole exception of a few
miles in Illinois from the Wisconsin
line into Freeport.
