should Girls Propose?
BAYARD. KANSAS.

DA AhDf AA-h-N,-Ao.
Mr.. Editor: l should like to add
my mite and say few words on the
question "ShOuld Girls PROPOSE"
say she should have the right in this
as in every thing else, to do as she
wishes. If she sincerely loves a man
and knows he loves her and is kept
from declaring his love from bashful-
ness or thinking he is not on her own
plane in the social scale or many 9TH
er reasons that might be mentioned,
then say it is right for girl to pro-
pose. For if she does not they per-
haps will drift apart and both their
lives be ruined by being spent in lone
illness and cynicism. | will not cite
the Puritan maid in this case, but
that of Walter and Florence in DOM
hey and Son: 'If you will take me
for your wife, Walter, will love you
dearly. If you will let me go with
you, Walter, / will 90 to the worlds
end without fear" Beautiful words,
and how many women think the same
to themselves, but are deferred from
speaking them, fearing to be thought
immOdest.
But if you mean should girls go
from one place to another paying
court to first one man and then anOth-
er as men do, and flirting and prOpos-
ing to each one that she may have a
few weeks pleasure with, then l say
No, girls should not prOpOse,-Or men
either, under such circumstances. But
otherwise / do not see why it is not
just as right for girl to propose as a
man. BEPPO.

Thsrocal Contest

According to announcement the To-
cal contest in defamation for the pur-
pose of choosing delegates to the coun-
ty contest was held at the Opera
House last Friday evening. The en-
thusiastic friends of the young con-
testants filled the house at an early
hour and greeted each speaker with
deserved applause. After prayer by
Rev. Mr.. McGaughey, Miss Blanche
Richards recited in an impressive
manner the pathetic selection p" WI ant
by Carleton. Miss Richards delivery
was peculiarly earnest and held the
eager attention of the audience
throughout.
Carleton seems to be the favorite
poet with the declamers. Miss Della
irving recited his popular poem 1.-The
Burning of Chicago Miss Irving
graceful appearance and sweet voice
made her effort very pleasing.
Miss AIDA Gray next recited
"Mona's Waters" with evident appre-
citation of the spirit of the piece. Miss
Graywas veryselfpOssessed and her ar
ticulation was good, but her voice was
not quite strong enough to fill SO large
hall.
Miss Anna Moore made an effective
appearance upon the rostrum and an
excellent impression upon the audi
ence as voiced by the decision Of the
! Judges. Her selection was Macauley's
splendid poem "The Battle OF lvry.'
The most magnetic delivery among
| the speakers of the evening was per
haps Miss Grace Beck's. '"Th'
Death Bridge of the Tay" is diff
cult piece to render and Miss Becl
had evidently given it hard and ap
preciative study.
Miss Eta Crowell had one OF thu
finest selections on the program
"The Building of the Ship" by Long
Her rendition showed that she ap
preciated thoroughly the poetry o
the piece. The audience and Mis-
Crowell were both unfortunate, how
ever, i'm the fact that her voice wa
not loud enough to fill the rOOm,-;
defect which will doubtless be over
come with practice.
One of the favOrite speakers of thu
evening was Miss Jennie KelsO, thu
last on the program. Miss Kelso IL
gifted by nature with q sweet, flexi
BILE voice and graceful manner IL
recitation. These like all other tai
ents, need ouly so be developed t.
their utmost by hard and faithful
work i'm order to produce excellent re
suits. Miss KelsO was happy in hel
selection, 1.-THE COurtship of Mile
Standish."
Miss Dee Arnold, Messrs. Linn ant
Goodhue had the difficult task O
Judging which two of these yOun;
ladies should represent the school il
the county contest. The honor wa
awarded to Misses Beck and Moore
The uniform excellence of the worl
was very gratifying to the school ant
the other friends of the contestants
Prof. Picken expressed in a few
,oppropriate words the cOngratulatiOn
of the High School teachers and stu
dents. in token of which eXquisit
boquets were presented to the cOntes
tantS.
The selections by the orchestra ad
ded to the pleasure of the evening.
The county contest will be held
week from tomorrow evening at whicl
time representative from Allen Ooun
ty to the inter-county contest to b
be held at Chanute will be chosen
The REGISTER is hopeful that lol
may he represented at the Chanut
