ing was just cool enough to make
the gathering the most pleasant,
and those who went to see the
program were very agreeably sur
prised, as there was not a number
on the program which did not
eliQit and merit the applause
which was received.
..The 'first, "My Grandmother's
Chair,." a solo, sang by Miss Estel
le Baird, who was dressed as they
did fifty year9 ago, was the one
whicK started" the storm of ap
plause, which kept the crowd rip
pling with merriment during the
entire evening. Mrs. George
Farley presided at the piano,
while Miss Baird sang, and they
were interrupted during the entire
number by the manifestations of
appreciation, by the well pleased
people present.
J. M. Roberts, who presided as
the schoolmaster and had charge
of the program, did his part to
perfection. The next number was
a reading by Miss Crete Briggs,
who was dressed for the occasion,
and had her hair dressed as the
demure lasses did in the war time.
She recited the number, "Queeu
of the. May," like the Ifttle lasses
did at that time,; trying to get
through, and when the finish
came was almost out of breath,
llandclapping and other applause
began before she made her bow,
and was ever present until after
she had taken her seat.
Miss Allison Johnston, who is
the president of the society, had
been with some members of her
class of the High school and was
detained, being a trifle late, and
just as this number was finished
came in, only to receive an ova
tion, and when the offering was
being taken refused to contribute
until she had heard the "Queen of
the May" recited, and it was given
again.
Following the regular program
was Evans Noble dressed in a full
dress suit, with a little pan hat,
who gave a rendition of "Rieni'a
Address to the Romans," which
was like the others to go before,
the costume and his appearance
called for an outburst of the feel
ings of the audience, and was con
tinued at every place where he
took a breath during his talk and
afterwards. ,
-D. C. Morgan was next on. the
program and he had to await un
til the applause which greeted his
appearance on the platform hail
subsided before he could begin.
His subject for the reading was
"Bengen of the Rhine," which was
in a measure very solomn in its
- We Can Match Your Hair -

the Pen Is Mightier Than the
Sword." This was to have been
discussed on the affirmative by
Judge J. K. Douglass and M. S.
Briggs and on the negative by 0.
L. Farley and Elmer Halstrom, but
owing to the death of Mr. Doug
lass' brother at Kansas City, Mr.
Douglass was called away, and M.
P. Briggs took the affirmative;
while the negative was looked aft-;
er by those on the regular pro
gram The discussion was open
ed by Mr. Priggs, who said a num
ber of things not to the point, but
which caused the people to laugh
and sh'ouL; and was followed by
M,r., Ilalstrom, . who made a fine
appearance, dressed in his even
ing costume, and who in a logical
manner look up the loose ends of
Mr. Driggs' talk, and pulled them
to pieces. Elmer surely merited
and received the npplause of the
,crowd in a way that demonstrat
ed that they.knew a good debater
when they heard one. Mr. Farley
was the next speaker, and was
greeted with signs of merriment
.when he appeared dressed. in his
long evening dress coat and
glasses. While he awaited for the
applause to in a measure subside,
he was not talking, and calls for
louder were heard all over the
room. He made a most telling
talk, which was interspersed by
the hand-clapping of the crowd.
The debate was closed by Mr.
Briggs, who was not, so much in
terested in a scientific discussion
of the subject as he was in pleas
ing the people, the latter which
he seemed to make a success of
doing.
The last number was a solo by
Miss Helen Chapman, who was
greeted by a storm of applause as
the audience recognized her abil
ity to please. She sang "When
You and I Were Young, Maggie."
.This was of a sentimental nature,
and the crowd seemed disposed to
await until she had finished for
their applause, which they did.
Some who did not have the proper
j-espect for a place, talked while
this song was being given and
inlerferred with the rendition of
the number. The number was
applauded to the erho.
This finishing the program, the
decision of the judges on the de
bate was called for, and the chair
man, Mr. Roberts, said it would
have to be left to the audience.
M. S. Briggs offered a motion to
give the honors to Mr. Farley' and
Mr. Hamilton, which, in a vote,
was lost.
