The < lirtrthi Club Coming.
Due to the faculty rule which
permits students to be absent oniy
one week from their work on ac-
count of student activities, the Cur-
tain club has had to refuse several
offer* for presentations this year
The itinerary, w hich has beer-
made out includes besides Austin,
Sac Yttrcjus Temple. Denton, Sher-
man. HjrSston and Galveston. Since
this trip ha* bx<-r> arranged offers
have row through aiumni of the
' hiversity and various clubs in Tex-
as towns which ard interested in the
work San Antonio. El Paso. Gon-
zales, Brownwood and Palestine
hare all asked that the play be
given there.
Great interest has been sho-vn so
far in the hill to be presented, chief-
ly because of the modernity of jjse
plays. The Curtain club heretofore
ha* given only revivals of old plays.
The presentation of '"The Inspec-
tor" i« particularly timely due to
the fact that interest in Russia and
Russian literature has been awaken-
ed by,the present war. ‘“phe in-
spector” is a true picture of .Rus-
sian life-and touches most satirical-
ly upon the system of bureaucracy
there. At its float presentation in
St. Petersburg it was condemned by
the governments censors but was
later allowed to play, chiefly
through the friendship of the czar
for Gogol.
Perhaps of greater interest to the
audience, however, will be short
burlesque, "Behind the Bevond.
A1! magazine readers have become
acquainted with the inimitable
work of Stephen Leacock in current
periodicals. His “Arcadian Adven-
tures W'ilh the Idle Rich.” as well
as '‘.Nonsense Novels” have been
widely read. The present nlay from
his pen partake,* of all the charming
qualities of bis former work.—Aus-
tin Daily Texan.
The Curtain Club will be in Sher-
man April 21 under the auspices of

Bible will help us to know God. We

result of knowing God is of jnesti-
mame- value to the lives of young
people.
At 2:2)) in Hie afternoon the ses
siou opened with an inspiring devo-
tional by Miss Mamie Malone of
Collinsville and special music by the
Cavalry .Baptist church of l>enison
after wftich there were interesting
reports from each union in the
county, revealing the fact that ex-
cellent work is being aceompHshed
The report of tRe county organizer
showed nine new unions organized,
and was very good The treasurer
also had a good report and the
pledges Tor the future work in the
••ourty amounted to fifty " dollars.
The credentials committee reported
eleven unions represented and * one
hundred and forty-nine delegates
•mastered.
Election of officers was then tak-
‘■n up and resulted as , follows: b
H. Hush, president, re-elected; Miss
Pearl Williams of Denison, secre-
tary; M iss Elizabeth Boggs of Sher-
man. treasurer; W. D. R. Owens of
Whitesboro, first' vice president; F.
3V. Parker of Denison, organizer.
The Calvary Baptist church of Den-
ison was successful in securing the
next convention which will be Octo-
ber Nth and !*th. The Denison and
Whitesboro delegates rendered an
excellent • quartette.
At 7:45 Rev T. B Harrell of Van
Alstyne spoke briefly on the subject
of ? reparation of Self in Christian
■efficiency." after which Rev George
W. Sherman of Denison talked on
The Bible, bringing a message that
will linger in the hearts of ail who
heard it ag it shed a new light upon
the book a* history, as ethics and a»
revelation. His text was from
Psalms ‘‘Thy Book a lamp jo my
feet and a light to my pathway.”
he sent the young people away
thrilled as they had not been before
in the convention and longing for
more knowledge of 'this wonderful
library, as he termed the Bible.
The conclusion of the convent-on
was a farewell to Rev L. L. John1
son of Whitesboro, who has been
associated with fne work here in
the county for five years during
After Working Hard For a Few Yeare
For the Girfo Father He Finalfy Wine

Gate Hie Skin Well Tanned.
It get* too hot for the Siberian only
once In a lifetime. Hie native Koryak
of Kamchatka, far up In the peninsula
that Is washed by the Bering sea, can
sleep comfortably in a room four feet
high with six by eight feet of floor
apace and have a fire smoking near all
night while the door* are tightly dosed,
and then docs not object If three oth
ere share his apartment with him. .To-
morrow he will have chance enough to
breathe more cold, fresh nir than lie
care* for. Ills picture of the happy
hereafter is a snug, cozy place where
every cell of his body can perpetually
enjoy warmth and where neither ear*,
fingers nor toes shall be frozen.
Once In bis life, howevef, things get
a little hotter than he can honestly en
joy. and that once he cannot escape if
be Is to be a man or Importance in the
community, Tor it is Ms marriage cere-
mony. As soon as the youth falls in
love In dead earnest he calls on the
maidens father to find o^pw hat dow-
ry she can bring in case of eventual
marriage. Since reindeer is the Kor-
yak’s medium of exchange, the dowry
usually consists of reindeer. If the fa
ther consents to the engagement and
the dowry, pleases the young man he
Interview^ the girl,- und if she rcolpro
cates hisj affect ion he enters her fa-
ther’s service. Chopping w-ogd, to tid-
ing the berd^» cultivating the garden
and all other Kinds of farm work fall
to his share. Tbe period of service
lasts from two to tliree years.
The marriage ceremony begins about
6 in the evening. There is a building
!n the village Into which the villagers
crowd at twilight. A large hall runs
through the center of the building on
either side of w hich are from ten to
fifteen little rooms called potogs. Patch
polog Is separated from tbe next by
heayy reindeer curtains, and the en-
trance from each polog Into the hall
is closed by similar curtains. Nowhere
In ail that building except In the hall
could a good sized man stand upright.
After considerable eating and some
drinking a brass drum begins to beat
At the same time a solemn faced Ko-
ryak passes from eaepolog to another,
dropping .willow sprouts and alder
branches In each Inclosore. Presently
the beater of tbe drum begins to sing,
to accompany bis slow performance on
the drum. Gradually he accelerates hi-
beats and his song. Faster and faster
he smiles tils drum; louder and louder
he sings, until within thirty minute*
he has worked himwif Into a slate of
frenzy-a consummation that is not
without its effect upon the villagers.
The stotw calm with which they enter-
ed, suggestive-of an impending funeral,
give* place to smiles, to tossing* of the
bead, uutii by and by the whole crowd
hr a* excited as ita leader.
At this point, the front curtain of
each ini log gives up, and two or three
women appear Ftiside. Id tbeir hand*

es. In a moment the father of the

which time h e and Mrs. Johnson have bridegroom enters the build lug. leading
the happy couple by the hand. The
noise, the shouting and the whirling
now become Indescribable. At a sig-
nal from tbe groom's father the bride
dashes into the first pol»g to the right-
The women that are Within lift the
eyrtaln for her, and she passes quickly
from one compartment 'o the next.
Not *o with tbe groom, lie dashes
after her, but no sooner ha.» he entered
the first polog; than the women begin
to beat him with the willow gpront*
and alder branches. IJe seizes the enr-
taln to enter the next polog. bat one or
two women hold it down, and If he
finally succeed* there Is a^bot applica-
tion of branches on that part of hi*
*natutrr that remains longest within
the polog.
Meanwhile the women in thq next
polog are ready to receive him with
•qua! warmth. They ply the switches
energetically and do not hesitate to
thrust out a foot also in order that the
“happy groom” may stumble snd af-
ford a Or ore enduring target for their
Wows
There is no escape from this experi-
ence until the groom has entered and
passed through every one *qf those
twenty or thirty pologs. The front cur-
tains are raised, so that the public has
a clear chance to enjoy the spectacle.
Of course he never catches the bride.
She has reached tbe last polog before
be is halfway through. If she passe*
out of Abe last polog he must work an-
other year at her father’s house and

more. But she usually awaits him in
