Local Boys Take Active Part in Promoting Popular Organization Among Students of College. Roland Nusbaum of this city is again made conductor and director of the Karlham Glee club, which effected a reorganization during the past week, Josiah Marvel, also of Richmond, being appointed pianist, and Lawrence Hadley, of the faculty, elected manager. The club, in addition to its regular spring tour made during the Easter vacation, will make a number of weekend trips during the spring, and expects to do better work than ever before, since it has reduced its membership to a workable basis by making the limit of the latter seventeen instead of twenty as has been the number in the past. Harold Taggart, Iceland Hadley and Charles Dixon are also members of the Glee club from town, the others being dormitory students. Establishes Record. The Glee club, under Mr. Nusbaum's direction, has established a reputation for itself over the state as one of the best college organizations of its sort in Indiana, although it is one of the most recently formed. While the regular membership is seventeen, the tours will Include others who will feature the program, but this latter phase of the club's work has not yet been definitely outlined. At present the time is being taken up with rehearsals and to the more formal and purely musical aspects of the organization.

The blaring of the trumpets' sudden cease, Was followed by a silence lightly poised As golden moths tilt on lily's lip, Or a slant sunbeam kissed the pink-hued tip Of a rich-hearted rose. Then on the air Floated a reedy sound, as wild and rare As Pan would pipe a lovely lilting lay, While flower-crowned Naiads trilled their lyric song, And danced down forest glades at close of day, Pursued by gods whose voices, deep and strong, Called to their fickle loves, and sought to lace The wonder of the world in the embrace Of pearl-white scented arms. Youth's interlude, When Life is finely tuned to Nature's mood. Esther Griffin White.

Would You Berreve It? People often accept statements with ii sort of mental reservation as much as. to say, "I am not convinced," which b-ads us to remark that there is nothing that will so thoroughly satisfy you of the excellence of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as a personal trial. Mrs. John Flshton, Peru, Ind., who used this remedy in her family for tin; past ten years, says of it, "I always give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to my children when sick with coughs or colds. I like it better than any other because they take it willingly and it is free from narcotics. It has never failed to give immediate relief." For sale by all dealers. adv.

PUPILS OF EARLHAM INSTRUCT IN MUSIC

The efficiency and wide-spread artistic influence of the music department of Karlham college, is shown in the presence of music students who have received instruction from former pupils under Miss Gaston at the college, and who have, themselves, become teachers in various towns and cities over the country.

Anent the possible appearance of the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra in this city in the near future, a former resident of this city says, concerning that organization's popular priced Sunday afternoon concerts: "The wonderful civic effect of these Sunday afternoon concerts is shown in the extraordinary attendance. The Music hall, which seats 5,000, is filled every Sunday afternoon. "While my wife and I were living there, we had, as a guest, a relative from Richmond who wanted to attend an orchestral concert and Sunday afternoon was the only opportunity

she would have. We supposed, of course, we could get seats, but when i we got there every seat in that big ' auditorium was taken and as they do j not allow people to stand, we had to ; go away. j "I think these Sunday afternoon i 'pops,' as they are called have had i more effect on broadening the general ; cultural musical standard in Cincinnati than any other one phase of that

city s musical activities. Varied Program. "The programs, while full of variety, are still of a very high standard and are of educational value. I know that I learned to appreciate and discriminate in a way I had never before done, after a season of these concerts, as my business prevented me from attending an other time.

"I think these Sunday afternoon: concerts are a gret thing. While in: Minneapolis I always attended those i given by the Minneapolis Symphony! which I think one of the greatest orchestras in this country. St. Paul, by the way, also has a good Symphony j

orchestra and the Minneapolis and St. Paul orchestras alternate in giving

Sunday afternoon concerts. Theyj have been a very civilizing influence; in those cities. I think Oberhoffer, j the director of the Minneapolis ' Symphony, one of the greatest direct-1 ors in the United States. ! "If you only could have kept on ! with you Symphony orchestra in Rich-; mond and instituted a semi-monthly concert on Sunday afternoon it would !

have been a fine thing for the town. As it is you should have one to three big orchestral concerts during the season through visiting organizations.

It is a big educational asset and gives those, who rarely have an opportunity to leave town but who love music, an opportunity to hear programs of a high order. "Then it is a good thing for your boys and girls in the high school and other school orchestras. They need the lesson of contrasting their performances with those of great professionals. I was in Richmond when the Minneapolis Symphony gave a concert here and I never heard it play better."

Indiana Artist Paints Temperamental Study of Elderly Woman.

Miss Julia, Graydon Sharpe, one of the leading resident artists of this state, is showing in her studio at her home in Indianapolis a delightful tonal and temperamental study of an elderly

woman seated at a piano singing an I old song. j The study is really a portrait of a woman almost eighty years of age, i

who still plays and sings in her own I

home, and who is the mother of the present Mrs. William P. Noble, formerly Miss Benaldine Smith, a well-

known violinist who appeared here in ' concert before her marriage to Mr. j Noble, a one-time resident of Rich-, mond and a member of one of the old Wayne county families, Mr. Noble being now deceased.. j Miss Sharp has not only painted a j portrait, but has done a far more dif-1 ficult thing, made an expose of tern- 1 perament in color and that a tonal study. j In addition, the pictoral value of , the canvas is great for it "tells a story" to the onlooker who knows

nothing of the subject the pathos of age and the ever-haunting charm of music. This artist has recently returned from her summer home in northern Michigan where she painted many pictures and sketches of that occultly alluring landscape. Very few artists have ever attempted to paint the pines but Miss Sharpe has made some brilliant and fascinating studies of this

tree, peculiar to the northern woods, which possess extraordinary decorative quality. Miss Sharpe has many times been asked to make an exhibit of her work in this city, ami may do so within the
