rival in love was very good. Tho
duel between ttiese two character was
a pieco of acting worthy of special
mention, and was executed in a most
artistic manner.
Mrs. Clara . Johnson, as "lluth
Alcott," and Mrs. Letitia E. Burton,
as "Caarlotto Alcott," the rival
eousins, appeared as gr.iceful and self
possessed as if they were professional
actors. Mrs. Villa Guild, as ""Janet
Alcott," also executed her part in an
almost perfect way.
U. 15. Carlyle, as "Major Bacon,"
was looked upon with favor by all.
His rather timely and appropriate
quotations from the lineal descendant

in tho statue act, was line.
L. I) llintt. Hi Captain Terrence
O'Malley," was excellent. Mr. Hiatt
needs no introduction to the Platts
mouth theater goers, as he has already
shown his abilities in that line.
Frank Sherman, who represented
three characters, also deserves men

even a lirgcr crowd in attendance.

KKt.UilOl S NOTES
Krirt of I lie Committee Appointed to
VUlt the City School.
"Cast thy bread upon tho waters
and after many days it shall be re
turned." No doubt our president hud
this passage in mind when she ap
pointed her committee to visit the
schools for the month of February.
The cornmitteo has loturtied in March,
but tho "bread," I fear, has gone glim
mering. The month was too short, I
was not here when appointed and, no
doubt, M.'s. Thrusher, my companion,
thought two was company and one was
I not, for she didn't go either,
business ! The terrible cold for so many days
was one excuse (the guilty are always
hunting excuses) and when it was
pleasant there were so many things to
be done that the last days of the month
came and the day we were to report
came all too soon.
However, we made arrangements to
go Febru u y 22, but at noon that day
came a message over the telephone,
saying: "Say, do vou know this is a
holiday? Vou may bo sure the child
ren haven't for got "
Dear me! Do we get so old that
there are no holidays for us? Must
the s 1 me routine be gone through al
ways, with no change? Blessed child
hood! When care rests so lightly on
them, they take care of today and let
tomorrow tako care of itself.
Tomorrow for us brought Thursday
and in tho afternoon we went to school.
Ater shall I say climbing, or walk
ing? We concluded it was climbing
the steps, we opened tho door and
found ourselves in the hall, with doors
in front and on each sido of us. The
first door had a silver plato on it, and
I guess it said, "Knock and it shall be
opened." You see we have lost our
fust sight and our second sight hasn't
come to us yet, so wo took it for
granted and knocked. Tho door was
opened and Professor Me Hugh stood
before us, but said "niver a word" un
til we "axed" him did ho want visit
tors, and he said, "Most assuredly,"
and he m;led, so we thought he did,
and went in. But, like the silly fly,
we came very near not coming out
again we stayed so long listening to
him; did I say listening? Well, per
haps, Mrs. Thrasher did, but I forgot
where I was and in looking around his
room I wondered when that paper was
put on the wall, and if the one that did
put it on was gathered to his ancestors
and gone into the misty beyond, and if
there was any record of him.
Then I spied a hole in the wall way
up half-way to the ceiling and in
stantly I was a child again and at
school, and I thought again I could
see the same old teacher, and the same
mischievous child, who, for punish
ment, must stand on a chair and with
spectacles across his nose, watch for
a mouse to run across that hole. The
same child never came hack. Then I
heard something about Texas, and
would you be-ieve il? He said the
peop.e were ove -taxed, or something
to that elTect, and that well, I
won't say all he did say but I am dis
gusted with the people and the coun
cils. How can you make a machine work
without oil. I wonder it is as well as
it is.
There is no use telling what vou
need or went should be the whole
building should be torn down and
made over, with ventilation, that is
an inlet and outlet for hot and cold
air, a new system of heating in winter
and more room, and then you have the
whole thing. Plenty of room, plenty
of good, fresh air, and plenty of heat.
To say we enjoyed our visit,is speak
ing very ngntiy; we enjoyca every
minute of it. The teachers were
bright and obedient. We were fortu
nate in hearing a different study in
each room, and the work of some of the
children was simply marvelous. We
were two afternoons at the central
building and ono at tho Columbian.
Some of the rooms have some very
pretty drawings on the blackboards,
some in colored chalks and some 111
white. There wa9 little "tots" whose
writing' was astonishing and even in
the "lowest grades were doing small
sums 111 mictions, iruiv tnis is a
