Those who have come to know her
splendid personality and winsomeness
coupled with those who don't know her
personally but admirer her brief pro

at some convenient hour, become all
the more taken up with her singing
from day to day. In lullabies and bal

Platform Manager Geo. T. Cochran
got himself in a "hole" as base ball
parlance goes, yesterday : morning
Mrs. Schrader had just sung the "Star
Spangled Banner," in her winsome way
and was announced for "America." To
add color of patriotism, Mr. Cochran
announced "The audience will join in
the chorus." Along about the second
stanza the platform manager bit his
lip but "worked himself out" again
resorting to base ball parlance by
having the audience rise and sing the
last stanza in unison. It did not drift
to, the audience at the moment that
there are no choruses in America."

gang of cowboys rode into town and
held up Cashier Williams of the bank
and robbed the place of several million
dollars and lugged it off but were
generous and spent it on the citizen

mile long followed the exciting opener
of the day, and then came sports and
horse races. All in all it was a great
celebration.
