"Certainly if the mind docs not look forward to the future, mid. if all the dosiios of lift- lire limited to f ho sunset of ouch day, if it terminates all nnticl pntlou by tho same boundurio, it neither tires itself by so great labor, nor is it distressed by no mituli anxiety mid wakefulness, nor does it strivo so often eonoorning life itself Conse quently, tlion 11 prophet or prophesy would be unknown. "I hold no claim on super nature, I grasp no unimpeachable on huiniin nattiro, but standing here as a forotol lor, I beg lenvo to push asido the cur tain secluding the future, nud disclose theso my classmates twenty years hence. " "Frederick Maurer stands at tho law bar dealing out fact and fiction to judge and jury. He has applied him self faithfully and and diligently. Ills ability is good, his reputation is ono most enviable, his character and his ontlgrety are without a stain. The Hon, little Trod, a bright lad crowned with silvery locks, does in childish language often speak of papas court." Tho time has not yet expired for tho fulfilment of this prophesy. Four years of that twenty mentioned in tho beginning yot remain to fulfill this last clause only. "Nellio Kuloy after drifting into publiulifc, stirs up anow the questions of woman's rights and prohibition. Sho tirelessly pushed these subjects boforo tho people, declaring woinuus lovol witli'inan and preaching crusade after crusade against tho liquor tralilc. As a result of hor efforts women are pri veledged to voto on school officers in Nobraska, and, no more liquor can be found In this state than in hor neigh bor states, Colorado or Wyoming. Nellie laments the fact that she lacked but fow votes of representing a revised independent party in Congress. The truth of this prophesy noods no cotnmont whatever. As you well re moiubor women have boon franchlscd to vote ever sinco Colonel Hesse was rst elected to tho legislature. "Hrueo 1'uyno dwells in an out of town cottage, surrounded by nature's art in its supreme beauty. Ho devotes himself to intellectual pursuit and has written a book on natural history which gives many uow and interesting facts concerning plants, insects and ' animals. Ho has actually ascertained that watermollons atv ediblo and that tho mosqultto can feed upon human blood. Ho has accomplished that longed for reformation in spoiling and also has revised Webster's Dictionary. Now J'.rtico lives out of town and was tho real fellow and not 1 'resident Koosovolt that originated that simpli fied spoiling deal, nud sometimo he will be proporly rowarded in history. "Raehael Letson can bo seen in her home with tho whiteness of ago tint ing her hair and unsinoothncss creep ing upon hor face. Her hand was earn estly sought by two young men, and twico was she asked the critical ques tion. Their star of hope at last direct ed them olsowhero and now Ilachaol that once beautiful girl of fewer years sits in tho lapse of time, au old maid." There still remains four years yot of that twenty but maybe time will not help this prophesy. This must be some kind of a blunder. I remember uow that I overheard a little conver sation a fow moments ago between Vernon Storoy nnd Hoy Tool. Vernon A NEW FIRM! Summer! nderwear Evor stand in a draught and feel tho cool breeze on your face and hands, nnd feel smothered all ovor your body? If you hadon"PertSknU" under wear instead of tightly knitted, air proof uuderwear, you would feel that samo refreshing breeze all over the body that the uhcovcred face catches. "Porosknlt" is naturally a cool undorwenr. It couldn't be other wise. It's an open work knit. It's light in weight, olnstio enough to mean comfort, and mado of fiuest coined yarn to givo lastlngness of wear. Fifty cents tho garment. johnson & grout Slid that 'this old ancient class of !:?, were pretty blooming numerous and smart mound here this evening. I Soy said 'that it looked to him as thoy were trying to steal our thunder, and something ought to be done about it. Now then Miss Vorimu said that "Mr. Garhor had his speech In his pocket." Those were nil the words, murk you. words, that she said. 1 am not. going to make any accusations whatever. Hut it would bo iuipowiblo for a prophesy to contain just one such n blunder and be otherwise so truthful, i feel very much like an old Christian womtin who said that "she never gos siped and did not believe in gossiping but that the linger of suspicion pointed mighty straight sometimes." I have no recollection of ever writing such a prophesy about any one. The exact words of tho original prophesy wore, as I now remember thorn, sub stantially theso "ISachaol Letson was soon married to a very handsome, en terprising and popular young merchant and lived happily ever aftei'ward " "Mabel Day is Preceptress of a large Deaf and Dumb Institute Hor zeal and pationco have been without paral lel. She has aided most wonderfully in the progress and comforts of these most lamentable unfortunates." The evidence is here before you. This prophesy is too true to bo good. ''Maud Greenlee after long continued study, always doing her best, finally arrives at the ton. She is versed in many branches, and with her mastery of languages she occupies a professor ship in a university." At last reports Maud was professor of theology In the government naval aca demy at Anapolis, Aid. "Trix Mizcr supervises a happy household. Accomplished in music sho salutes early morn with her well tuned song, and still makes melody when tho evening shadows usher in tho nightfall." There is a young banker around here somewhere, who will, if too bashful to speak out, hold up both hands iu testimony to the truth of this prophesy. "Lulu Potter after many meditations betook it upon herself to go to the land of tho heathen and teach tho word of (Jod and tho manners nnd customs of Christianity to remote humanity. Her life has that enjoyment which is known by few." Lulu is not hero at present, she is in China 1 think. All of us who aro acquainted with Lulu can very vividly imagine her reading hor biblo to a Chinaman. However 1 am not so sure whether she Is iu China or India. 1 will ask her mother and tell you tomorrow. "Dora Henderson is tho principal of a high school, starting many promising lads to honor and fame. Her old timo school gjrl determination has always asserted Itself and sho has gained a proud rank among tho workers iu that great cause " In this caso It is only a typographical error, l ho printer lias inserted too many lads iu manuscript. It should read fad. Kverybody who sees Dave's sunny faco day after day, knows that she is a complete success as n teacher iu high school. " I perchance am drifting over life's unsettled sea, with neither sign nor omen to foretell my fate. Hut as I scan the broad expanse, Sometimes the scenes of other days ltoturn again to mo. Tne old familiar places all, Again I seem to see. I fancy 'mong tho woodlaud trees I hoar the song of bird. And from tho olden hilltops come Tho echoes ouco I hoard."

Me thinks I hear this' most indulgent audience saying iu ono accord, as tho people said unto the Wlscuion, 'wonderful, most wonderful.' Hy no means was the piano solo by Miss Mary Dniiurcll the leiiotlntoi eat ing part of tho progiam. Miss Mary bus exceptional musical talent and her playing was much .appreciated. The Chief is pleaded to know that the grad uates of our school aiopiogiessivoaud desire to win new laurels with each succeeding vear. Diner llutler took (he house down with his Chalk Talk which has become "the talk of tho town." Mr. Ilutlor pictured school days as he saw them while a boy. He certainly has a vivid recollection and possesses tho ability to tniiko Ids scenes realistic to tho great delight of au audience. Wo re gret our inability to reproduce for our readers his drawings and address. Mrs. Dora Kuley read tho following letter from Miss Willa father which explains the loason for herlnabilty to bo in attendance here. Mrs. Kuley has a very pleasing manner of reading and owing toiler perfect articulation she could be easily heard in every part of tho house. It was a source of considerable re gret that Ralph and Donald Pope wore unable to bo here in person tho wc woro assured that thoy wore with us in spirit. Alex IJentloy gaveji graphic roviow of the early days in ids address on 'Looking Itackward." His advice and words of warning to the class were especially timely and they no doubt will profit by Mr. lientloy's suggest ions. Supt. Moritz. then briefly introduced the class to 10. .1. Overing Jr. president or the board who conferred upon thorn the diplomas int lie following language: Class of lOO'.i J congratulate you on the progress you have therefor made. I am indeed pleased to learn from Prof. Moritz that you havo satisfact orily completed the course of study ns prescribed in our High School and that you havo faithfully performed all tasks sot beforo you. With tho pass ing of this night your relations wltl. the world will be considerably changod. From now on you will be compelled (o rely upon your own selves more and more. You will no longer receive the daily assistance aud suggestion from your teachers and you must learn to do your own thinking. In after j ears you may forget the conjugation of some Latin verb or the formula for solving a proposition iu geometry. Many of tho important events and dates of history may elude your memory but bhould all else es cape you I pray that you will over re tain the lessons which you havo learned in discipline. A thoro train ing in discipline, the knowing of how to run ones self Is after all the true test of education In this connection penult mo to cito you an example worthy of your thoughtful consider ation and contemplation. Two years ago u tornado struck the barracks lyt Fort Crook, Nobraska. When tho officers saw the storm ap proaching and almost at hand they ordered the (ith. leglmont into batta lion formation aud iu the midst of Hying slato roofs and other debris they marched across that campus In perfect order to substantial buildings whero thoy wero put "at rest" and found places of refuge. History affords no greater example of discipline in all Its annals. Tho charge of tho light brigade was a tri vial event ns compared with those 000 Americans as they marched into tho very teeth of that appalling storm and tho tho wind roared and tho fear ful black cloud struck error their hearts yot they obeyed the orders of their superiors and displayed their un excelled heroism and dioiplinc. No glory of conquest spurred them on. No martial band stirred their blood Yot they remained true to their training aud did their duty. And now iu the namo of the school district of Red Cloud city I present to you theso diplomas the ovidenco of your work successfully performed in hor schools. Miss Carrio Shute bus been awarded the scholarship by the committee mid I congratulate you on receiving this honor not so much for tho scholarship alone ns for your diligence and appli cation to your studios. Claudo Pierce is a close second and receives honor able mention. A pleasing addition to the program helped enliven tho ontertalnmont. After the addresses of the former grad uates were completed Mr. Overing be lieved that It would not bo out of place to hear from tho new class nnd called upon Claude Piorco to dolivcr an address. The audience, wero on a quiver of oxcltomont and all tdiolr sympathies were aroused in Claudo's behalf but to tho astonishment of everybody he came forward aud de livered ono of the neatest speeches of the evening and turned the tables. Tills was hugely enjoyed by tho aud ience and shows to this editor that the prosont product of our schools is not' inferior to those turned out iu the earlier days, (Continued next week,) 1 LOCALETTES Ilaininocks at Cottlug's.
