THE' CADETS' ENTERTAINMENT.
The entertainment given Friday
evening under the auspices of the
Hamilton Cadets was without
doubt one of the most pleasing ever
given by local talent, and was
highly enjoyed by each individual
who formed part of the large audi
ence. The programme opened with in
troductory remarks by Dr. Warner
who complimented .the Cadets by
predicting that their visit to the
Omaha exposition this year would
attract more attention than any
other military display, and this
no doubt will prove true, The
mandolin club, which never fails to
please, gave a selection and re
sponded to a couple of encores; and
was followed by that popular vocal
organization, the Platte Quartette,
which rendered its selection so per
.fectlyas to,win. and, j:espond to a
call for a second appearance. M.
C. Harrington recited "The Skull,"
and being recalled, responded with
"The Seven Ages of Man." Both
were effectively delivered. Mr. Har
rington's voice, gestures and gen
eral appearance on the stage being
good. Earl Stamp, North Platte's
youngest and most promising corn
etist rendered a solo in a capable
manner, and was followed by Mrs.
J. H. Hershey, who gaye a
pleasing vocal solo, accompanied
on the piano and violin by Miss
Jessie Bratt and Alvin Pool.
The selection was well received,
and the singer responded to an en
core. Part one concluded with a
sword drill by the cadets which
was executed so perfectly as to
preclude criticism.
Miss Jessie Bratt opened part
two with a finished selection on the
piano, followed by a whistling solo
by Miss Cummings, both of which
were well received. A ladies' quar
tette composed of Misses Searle,
Belton, White and Sorenson sang
a very taking song and then
responded to- the hearty app'ause.
The mandolin club again favored
the audience, and the entertain
ment closed with a drill by the
Cadets. This latter was the great
feature of the evening, as the
evolutions were carried through
with a precision and grace th?t
won the admiration of the aud
ience. The Cadets in their new
white duck costumes presented a
very-pretty appearance.
The net receipts of the evening
were an even hundred dollars, and
after paying for their suits the Ca
dets have a balance in the treas
ury of about forty-five dollars.

Last Evening's Entertainment.
A fair-sized audience attended
the entertainment given- last even
ing by home talent, under the di
rection of Miss Pike, but it de
served a larger attendance. Sev
eral features of the programme
were especially attractive, pleasiug
and interesting. .Particularly is
this true of the illustrated reading
of Longfellow's "Blind Girl of Castil
Cuille." Miss Pikevread the poem,
and the most prominent situations
in the-verse. were produced on the
stage in tableaux. The pose of those
on the stage was excellent and the
costumes very pretty. This pre
sentation was somewhat new to a
North Platte audience and it was
accepted with applause.
Another featureoftbe programme
that proved particularly pleasing
was Miss Pike's recital of the arena
scene from" "Quo Wadis." This
gave the reader an opportunity to
fully display her ability and she
wo renewed praise from a North
Platte audience.
Miss Pike also rendered "The
Christmas Guest," and responded
to two calls for reappearance.
The programme fconcluded with
Bang's farce, "The Bicyclers,"
which was cleverly presented by
Misses Abbie Day, Ii;ene Hartman,
Nellie Hartman and:jMessrs. Done
hower, Welch, Hoagland and Tur
pie each of whom deserve credit for
their work on the stage.
Interspersed in the programme
were selections by' the Mandolin
Club, solos bT Mrs. Hershey and C.
L. Adams, a trio byMiss Belton,
Miss Hartman and ?Mrs. Adams,
and a piano solo by Miss Burke, all
of which received merited applause.

"I defy any man to stay away from
his native town so long that on his re
turn there will be nothing left to re
mind him of the old days," said a suc
cessful western man, who had just paid
a visit to his birthplace a little village
of northern New Hampshire.
"When I sawTrowbury, altera lapse
of 40 years, it seemed to me there was
not a single thiug which had remained
uuchauged. The town has become a
place of mills and industry; all its old
sleepy charm is gone. My old schoolfel
lows are gray headed, sober men, and
the men of 40 years ago are either tot
tering with age or at rest in the grave
yard. "When I saw my old chums, 'Bounc
ing Bob' so named from his prodigious
weight and 'Slab' Peters, whose name
was also tho result of nature's allot
ment of flesh, my heart sank, for Bounc
ing Bob is lank and bony, while Slab
Peters would require two seats in a
street car.

The Comfort of labor.
"I suppose," saidMr. Staybolt, "that
most of us, as between wealth with
idleness and poverty with occupation,
would choose wealth, but I am not so
sure that I would myself. In fact, tho
older I grow the more I am convinced
that nest to tho love of those wo hold
dearest, of parents, wives and children,
the greatest boon to man is labor. Pov
erty with occupation would imply tho
power to labor,- and that would mean
freedom from want. And occupation
means also freedom from care. The man
who. becomes interested in his work for
gets his troubles, aud he finds besides a .
pleasure in seeing the results of his la
bor take form and grow, the pleasure of
attainment.
"The man who doe3 not find enjoy- .
ment in labor misses the most satisfae-,
toryof life's pleasurse." Nw York
