Maury Order spoke with an case
and animation seldom remarked in
one of his years lie showed training
and capacity 10 profit by It, lie
spoke of his prospects AS a lawyer; he
said that he was moved by the spirit
OF an embrio judge; that he was sorry
to increase the quantity OF lawyers,
and that his only apology for such a
course, was that he would raise the
average IN quality; that the general
opinion was that the art OF lying
would rs irretrlevably lost, MS that of
embalming, II II were not for the law
yers, but that the other professions
were charitable enough not to let
them do Il ALL
Ben Chambers represented the
farmer in manner uuexcellcd. He
said he did not like to nip nickel for
thing when he could get il with
out dividing his chances
Ihat he might attain eminence IN the
law, that listening senates might hang
on his lips, but that he had already
demonstrated his ability to add to the
country's wealth by a skillful manage
ment of the plow. lie said that
when the supply of class exceeded
the demand that somebody must
steal or starvc. that our pcnitentia-
ries was rs free of lawyers as of min
listers not that they should not, be
largely represented, but that they had
full control OF the enforcement of the
law and entertained high profess
slonal regard for each other. He said
that the former was the only man
that could afford to have the woes of
OF this world to be stricken from 1t;
that as soon as killing aud stealing
ceased the lawyer would be beggar;
that as soon AS malaria and measles
were no more the doctor would be an
object of charity. That the farmer
was the only man who went directly
to the fountain head of wealth, that
in the farm sleeps the wealth of COM
ing generations and that in the farmer
reigns the independence of the pres
ent one.
Miss Lucy Ellis delivered an adj
dress, "lhe Subject OF Girls" said
that flirting was one of the great
causes of the country being Hooded
with old maids and bachelors. That
she was n great admirer OF old maids
Thought they were the hope of the
country. That they were as remark
able for their longevity, as for their
goodness, that they were like swans,
never known TO die. That history
only records wo'deaths. Those two
died at the venerable age of one hun
bred and forty-three by all impru-
dent exercise of the lingual
member.

csting essay on the subject of elocu-
ton. She said the public schools, as
yet, had not been able TO devote Tex

facture OF Booths and Bernhardtd.
That we had boys who could with "A
short c)urso in the numerous schools
OF comedy and trag dy fall in love, DO
fooled and die like Mccullough
in Othello. That we had girls who,
with some professional training 90
into Mysteries with as much awkward
ness ms any amateur In even Waco,
but that rigid course in the sciences
was present instead, by the school
authorities.
