Rubinoff Obliges
Peoria Minister
David Rubinoff, the inter
nationally famous violinist v/ho
visited O’Neill several weeks
ago, Sunday stopped in Peoria,
111., on his tour of the country.
He passed a Methodist
church, was impressed by the
pastor’s sermon topic posted
on a sign in front of the
church. He went in. The min
ister asked Mr. Rubinoff if he
would play for the parisnon
ers on his famous Stradivar
ious violin.
Said Rubinoff: “I vill.”
And Rubinoff did.
The Methodist minister in
Peoria fared better with the
maestro than did the “Voice of
The Frontier” staff. Efforts to
induce Mr. Rubinoff to appear
before a “Voice” microphone
were to no avail.

Cow Meets Porcupine;
Story Has a Moral
LYNCH — Several days ago
Glenn Davy, who lives near
the Missouri river on Sunshine
Bottom, while watering his
cows in the morning noticed
one of them had her nose full
of porcupine needles.
He haltered the cow and was
obliged to apply a pair of pliers
to pull the needles from the
cow’s nose. The needles were
two inches long, some were
shorter, very strong gmd very
sharp on both ends.
Mr. Davy said he had never
heard of porcupines in this lo
cality but evidently one must
have been in the cow lot that
night and brushed against the
cow’s nose.
