The Abilene Dramatic Club met last
night to arrange and cast its next play.

years. Joshua Whitcomb" has many
of the same characters as the Old
Homestead but 1t is entirely different

Of having II local affair only, they
make a grand State festival and such
being done, the State committee would
hold their examination for applicants
during the three days Of its continu-
ance.

many people who were worthy Of

the expense connected with an appear
ance in Chicago, the following plan
was adopted:

during the last week in April and Ia
continue three days Two concerts
being given each day.
Second, That the following prizes be
awarded as an incentive to all musi-
clans Of the State to attend:

To form four triangles with six wooden
toothpicks sounds simple enough, but is a
proposition that can make the uninitiated
tired before he succeeds in reaching the
solution. You may place the picks in any
position you please, but the figures must
be good. honest looking triangles other
wise you fail to do the little feat. If you
chance to find the solution without aid you
will be surprised to see how pretty a figure
it makes and will very likely wonder why
you failed to do the trick more quickly.
1t is done in this manner; Lay three picks
on the tablein the form of triangle Then
put the remaining picks in the corners of
the first figure. elevate them and bring the
ends together. This also demands a steady
hand. but when you succeed in making
them stand alone all the triangles will be
visible.
