We understand that Mr.. Fred

A large and appreciative audience
was present Friday evening at the
Union Hall, to see the rendition of
the comedy plays entitled "a Box
of Monkeys and the Deestrict Skule"
by the Panhandle Dramatic Club.
1t was executed in a manner that
caused considerable merriment and
laughter, while the club is deserv-
ing Of much credit, considering that
it was produced wholly by home
talent. Space prevents going into
detail and making more of per-
sonal mention, but suffice, it to say
that all acquitted themselves well.
After the play, the hall was clear
ed for dancing, and large number
remained to enjoy themselves till
late hour.

In youth. beside the lonely sea.
Voices and visions came 10 me.
Titania and her furiive broods
Were ny famiIlars in the woods.
From every flower that broke in fame
Some hall articulate whisper came.
In every wind felt the stir
OF some celestial messenger.
Later, amid the city's din
And toll and wealth and want and sin.
They followed me from street to street.
The dreams that made my boynood sweet
As in the silence haunted glen.
So mid the crowded ways of men.
Strange lights my errant fancy led.
Strange watchers sat beside m bed.
III fortune had no shafts for me
In this aerial company.
Now one By one the visions fy.
And one by one the voices die.
More distantly the accents ring.
More frequent the recediug wing.
Full dark shall be the days ir store.
When voice and vision come no more.
