, they come in contact.
Miss Lena b. Meyer, of Centre school,
chose for her assay,
THE POWER OF AN IDEA"
She held up to her hearers the immense
advantage accruing from intelligent ideas
on the part of those taking part in the hat
tie of life. and by way of illustration, re-
ferred to the many successes chrOniclcd in

portunites given them To better their own
, condition and elevate and improve man
kind at large.
Miss Annie Rahr's select Grafton on the
subject,
NAMING THE BABY,
was undoubtedly the best effort of the
AFTERNOON. The lady showed much dra
matte ability, and she was listened 10 with
decided pleasure Her limitations of the
voice and manner of the various relatives
of the little one were very accurate, and
once or twice bursts of laughter from the
audience showed the interest of her hear
crS. The climax, when the unfortunate
youngStcr was Slddlcd with the cOnOgmcn
of "JehOscphat," was greeted with loud
applause, in the midst OF which Miss
Rahr retired.

of the poem, and made it one of the most
interesting efforts of the day.
Miss Mary Walters, Of Clay school, had

often attached to the litting iancic' which
come to the brain during sleep, and mar
rated in Il hriclbut interesting way the ref

most noted writers Of ancient and modern
! times. She referred tn day dreaming, by
