"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

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

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

Now, this old time prophesy is inn-
terlalled transformed into marvel-'
ous revelation. 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,
