J. J. Writes Up Play. The pupils of St. Mary’s academy gave one of their annual and most artlstlo and enter taining dramas, “The Miracle of the Roses,’’ to a packed and over-flowing house in the Knights of Columbus hall sn the evening of St. Patrick’s day. It was. In the opinion of the writer, the best literary entertainment that was ever given in O’Neill, not excepting the best per formances of the many traveling profession als who from time to time have appeared here and played their "master pieces,” and to say that the audience was well pleased , and entertained Is a very mild expression of' the fact. “The Miracle of the Roses” by Elizabeth Folding, Is a historic Roman drama in live acts that carry our minds back to the time of the crusades when the Nobles and heads of great and powerful families plotted and plan ed against each other for leadership with as much unprlncipaled vim and questionable startegy as our great exploiting captlans of finance and commericlal Industry now do against the all-producing and tolling, masses for the purpose of absorbing the fruits of labor. But I degress and will now Introduce to you the Misses May and Ella Shoemaker, two musically Inclined orphans girls, who In their childhood lost both their parents and found In the Sisters of St. Mary’s a mother’s spirit of love, care and attentive training, evidenced in their beautiful rendition of Vllbac’s piano duet “L’Ellsire D’Ainore.” Elizabeth, the leading lady of.the play and Countess of Thuringia, was beautifully and faithfully personated by Miss Florence Mo Gaflerty whose very nature and makeup seemed to have fitted her for her allotted place In the play, and Miss Mary Fitzsim mons acted well the part of the selfish. In triguing and ambitious Sophia, the purse proud Homan matron and the tryanlc and relentless mother-in-law of Elizabeth for whose ruin and overthrow she continuously plotted and planned. The noble nature of the Countess was made manafest on her first appearance in meeting Kunlgunda and her two little children in the forest where they sought refuge after being evicted from their home by the oruel and arbitrary Castellan and are befriended by the said Countess Elizabeth. The part of Kunlgunda was ably taken by Miss Beatrice Cronin, and Miss Regina Donlin and Miss Loretta Ryan fitted like so much clock work Into the part of her tw<y children, Trudohen and Cottllnde The Misses Alice Fleming, Julia Howard, Alice Morrissey. Helen McCarthy and Ella Shoemaker represented the drama's Gert rude, Adellnde, Liebwarta, Gerllnda and Martha, the poor woman of the place, whom the proud and haughty Sophia called “beggars.” Alter me erst act ana wnne me uramatis Personae" were reajusting their costumes, a little tot of less than five years, Miss Kegina Donlln, came before the foot lights and in a subperb and Inimitable way, both In jesture and cultured voice, she took the house by storm by singing Thompson’s soug “What Would You Take for me. Papa.” She was loudly encored, reaupeard and retired and the boys of the lower classes of St. Mary’s oonvent school, about thlrtv In number, marched on the stage under drill master’ Leonard McBride, and executed an exibition drill that was a rare treat in itself. Then Miss Shirley Engle performed Merz’s piano solo “La Princess” in an artistic style. Now the curtain is raised on the second act and brings to view the Castle of Wartburg where the Countess of Falkenstein. Mis’ Mildred Downey, after pleading in vain with the haughty Sophia in behalf of Elizabeth leaves Wartburg and we witness a stormy scene between Wlborad, a servant of the Castle, Miss Lorettr Hickey, and Castellan of Wartburg, Miss Katherine Connelley, during which time the Countess Elizabeth is dis tributing bread to the poor and is suddenly summoned to the assistance of Wlborad Here the imperious Sophia enteres and fur iously drives the poor from the Castle and plans for the dethroning of the Princess Elizabeth. Curtain falls and St. Mary's Choral class sings Laoome’s "Estudlatina” and are encored, come again and on retiring the girls of the primary department recite, ‘■Our Report” and are followed by Mrster Joseph Peters who gracefully renders Ken nedy's piano'solo “Drifting Leaves.” The curtain is again raised for the third act in whloh is brought into view the Countess Elizabeth’s chamber in Wartburg where that lady is interrupted in a sad and sorrowful soliloquy by Sophia who briDgs her tid. lugs and a decree from his majesty, the Emperor of Rome, in which Elizabett is deposed in favor of DowagerCountessSophla. At thiB very moment a messenger enters bearing a letter which the Countess Sophia holds aloft in her hand and remarks “It eems to be in the hand writting of Eliza beth’s husband.” Elizabeth reaches for the letter, tears it open and reads of the death of her beloved husband in the Holy Land after which she falls fainting to the ground and cried "Lord Thy Will bo Done." The curtain falls and Miss Ruth Lamour eaux days Chopin’s piano solo “Valse Brll lante" anp the pupils of the intermediate de partment sang Moore's "Harp Thut Once Thru Tara’s Hall." The Countess Elizabeth, now an outcast, enters the forest of Thuringia where she has planned to meet her pooa friends for the lost time and give them bread. She is followed by the Castellan who threatens her with the severest penalty if the basket she carries contains any bread. He snatches it from her, shakes it roughtly, turns it up and down and beautiful roses fall to the ground. ‘Tig here the Countess appenrs to the best advantage in her holy resignation to what she looked upon as Qod’s will and her own fate. The Castellan repents of his crimes, is forgiven by the Counless, and in a deatb swoon falls to the ground and is consoled and prepared for death by the Hermit, Miss Rose Hughes, who performed her part with s&credotal grace. The ourtrin falls and Miss Cecilia Koike plays Sivrai’s pianosolo "Balmoral," after which Miss Agues Shoemaker gracefully aud charmingly recited “Innocence." The curtain raises on the fifth and last act in the Throne room in the Castle of Wart burg, the Oerman City of the Roman Empire, in which Kosomund, Mildred Downey, comes to tell Sophia, who is about to take her seat upon the Throne, that her plans hare failed; she also tells her of the Castellan’s death and of the arrival of the Empress, Miss Catha Smith, who comes to reinstate Eliz abeth tuber rights and to punish Sophia, who has just taken her seat on the Princess Throne. Sophia Influenced by RosomuNfTs words repents of her wrong doing and begs for mercy. The Empress now crowns Eliz abeth and for her sake pardoned Sophia whom she thought was sufficiently punished by losing after so persistently planning and plotting for success. f In the play 1 forgot to glue/ the ltyiles in watting, Miss Francis Meiifciue as Bertha’ Miss lrenaeia Uiglln as liedwlg, and Miss Lyda Gatzmeyer as Emma,their proper place and attention. I must also appologlze to Miss Grace Hopkins, the Angel of merciful oom fort to Elizabeth in distress, for her ghostly and gentle movements and the Hereld, Miss I uclle McNlchols, and the twelve attendants of the Empress from the classof 1914. Every member of St. Mrry’s school who appeared In the play showed careful train ing which reflected honor on that revered seat of education of which the citizens of O’Neill are deservedly preud. From the child of four years to the young ladles in the graduating class of 1913, all showed the ear marks of a sound and superior system of education, where the keystone of the super structure is a life time devotlou to the ser vice of God in the spiritual and mental In struction of our fellow beings and may be contrasted with systems that are made the steplng stones to more lucrative positions in life. I almost omitted the statement that out of forty students of at. Mary's high school who took the examination sixteen received state university markings of one hundred in several of their studies.

The Forty Year Test An article must have exceptional merit to survive for a period of forty years. Chamberlain’s Cough Kemedy was first offered to the public in 1872, From a small beginning it has grown in favor and popularity antil it has attained a world wide reputation. You will find nothing better for a cough or cold. Try it and you will understand why it is a favorate after a period of more than forty years. It not only gives relief—it cures. For sale by all dealer.—Adv. Wise M. P.’e. s It need hardly be pointed out. says the author of “Fifty Years In Fleet Street,” that to be elected a member of parliament does not necessarily imply Intellectual superiority. Shortly after the Burmese war a young civilian, home on leave, happened to mention Burma. “Ah, yes, Burma,” said an M. P. with whom he was sitting at table. “I had a nephew who was In Burma, only he used to call it Bermuda.” On another occasion, in the month of March, some one said to Mr. Live sey: "This is a cruel east wind.” “Yes,” was the would be witty reply. “I expect it will be Easter before It is over.” This was repeated by the author of the book quoted to a respected member of parliament, who observed gravely: “I fancy he’s right. I have known it to last till Easter and longer yet.” Mighty Kings. The strongest king on record, so the story goes, appears to have been Calus Julius Verus Maximus, the son of a Thracian peasant and emperor of Rome. It is related that with one of his fingers he stopped a chariot dash ing by at full speed, that he could draw a, loaded wagon and split trees with his hand. This redoubtable sov ereign was eight feet high, and his wife’s bracelets served him for finger rings. We have passed over Qg, the king of Bashan, who was nearly six miles high, drank water from the clouds and toasted fish by holding them up to the sun and who, when Noah refused him shelter in the ark, survived those troublous times by wad ing through the flood, which only reached to his knees, and of Atlas, king of Mauritania, who is said to have supported the world upon his shoulders.—Exchange. ___j DR.
