THE JUNIORS.

Last evening at Garfield the junior class
gave an interesting and entertaining pro-
gram The large society hall was well
filled with the many friends of the univer-
sity and the class. c. c. Wilson, the first
performer of the evening, delivered an
able treatise upon 1.-THE Successful Man. "
Life is a mystery which is hard to solve.
The youth of today reflect upon the I'M
realities of life of what the future has in
store for them. But life is real and one
must be up and at work. The man who
makes a success Of life must choose some
particular work If he has an inclination
for some one profession he should select
that but if he has no choice he should still
educate himself for some life work. Life
does not end with death. "Then let us 50
live that when the summons comes to join
the innumerable caravan which moves to
that mysterious realm, we may approach
the grave like one who wraps the drapery
of his couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams"
The Grafton of the evening was delivered
by MI Sherman PlOughe. The title Of
the grafton was: ''Where are We and
What Time is IT," Where are we? We are
in a state of politicala and social instruction.
Carlyle has truly said America has yet its
battle to fight. The breach between arts
tocracy and the working classes is grad
ually widening. The rise and fall of ma
lions is first virtue, then glory, then
wealth and at last ruin We have passed
through the first two stages and have en-
tered upon the third. What is going to be
the result can be seen by the history of
other nations. What time is it? The
time has come for action on the part Of
those who love justice and morality. The
time has arrived when new generation
should take the reins of government. The
old parties are dead; a new one must be
formed. Here the gentlemen depressed
from the subject and spoke at some length
upon the liquor traffic.
Mr.. loose, on behalf of the law class,
gave a highly interesting class poem which
was received with applause. The poem re-
fleets credit upon the poetic talents of the
class and added not little to enliven the
entertainment.
Socrates was the subject of Miss At
waters essay. The life of this ancient and
hOnOred man was discussed under the two
fold heading. Socrates as a student and IS
a teacher The essay was a carefully writ
ten production and its application to the
present generation was fully shown. Miss
WoOdman recited "Cataline's Defiance"
This is an old piece, but one of great merit
and the declaimer seemed to breath new
life into it.
The class history was delivered by Mr..
Everest, after which the president, Miss
Carpenter. in a few well chosen words
thanked the audience for their attention.
The orchestra played an overture and the
audience was dismissed.

point twelve flower girls came forward,
presenting each of the graduates with
beautiful floral gifts from relatives and
friends A short and pointed address was
then made by Mr.. Hatfield, in which he
cautioned but encouraged the class to go
forward in the work that had really but
commenced.
After the distribution of the diplomas
Prof. Naylor introduced Rev Hewitt who
announced that the Rev. David Winters
wished to make present to the best rhe-
toricaI and the best Evolutionary effort on
the part of the graduates The matter
had been referred to a secret committee
who had reported that the rhetoric prize
had been won by Miss Alice Rachel Moss
man, and with few fitting remarks pre-
scented her with copy of the complete
works of Washington Irving. In few
well chosen words the complete works OF
Shakespeare were presented to Miss Anna
Letitia Wilson as the prize in elocution.
The competition was close and the com
mittee was pretty evenly divided on several.
Prof. NayIor then made few remarks
to his graduates and the exercises were
concluded by the benediction pronounced
by the Rev. Winters.

A Phuosnrhic TtaIinn.

I happened to witness a street scene the
other day which I endeavored to lay to
heart as lesson in patience. An old Ital-
ian rag picker was slowly making his way
along the sidewalk with huge bundle on
his back-a bundle so big in fact that
scarcely anything was visible beneath it
except a pair of snuff colored, shabby
trousers, moving forward with simulta-
neous lateral motion. Just IS the old man
lunged around a corner a heavy wagon
came up, and the hub Of one wheel struck
the bundle with such force that the bearer
was thrown violently to the ground. He
got up, with some assistance, in a dazed
manner, the blood streaming down his
face from a cut in his forehead.
But now comes the strange part of the
affair. Instead of swearing and cursing,
or at least bemoaning his fate, the old fell
low smiled a gentle, well bred smile, quiet
ly wiped his face, reshOuldered his load,
being helped by the teamster, who was
duly apologize, and went on his way with
the philosophic air of man who had sim
ply encountered one of those inevitable an
noyanees which human life entails. Would
any Anglo-Saxon person have behaved so
well under similar ?-Boston

SYNONYMS for Money,

The huge number Of synonyms for money
illustrates remarkably well the variety Of
sources from which our slang words are re-
cruited and the remarkable appositeness of
some OF them. We may talk OF our money
in scores Of ways; among which are, for in
stance, "the actual the needful," or
the wherewithal;' beans" blunt, 3"
tin" or brass" Chips" "dibs" or
pieces" dust" chinck" or shot"
''shekels," "spondulics" or dollars"
stamps" feathers" or palm dip
which last is such an obviously appropriate
name for it that "shinplaster'' seems feeble
by comparison, and the young but widely
popular loot" "oof bird" and "oof fish"
