esMR. BOB" PLEAsES.
Washburn College Athletic Park Fund
is Also Replenished.


'sMr. Bob" a lively two act comedy
was presented in the college chapel at
Washburn last night.
The story as told in Mr.. Bob is
strikingly funny and the piece is filled
with clever situations. Rebecca Luke,
a maiden lady of wealth, and who is
also a whole souled philanthropist with
q fondness for cats, has established an
asylum for the protection of homeless
cats" Miss Luke had been planning
ma &rial changes in the mansion in
which she lived for the better carrying
out of her one object in life, the care of
homeless cats.
In her endeavor to bring the architect
into the house unknown to her niece and
nephew, Philip Royson, a number of
serious complications arose.
The piece was constructed for the
part of Robert Brown which was taken
by Mr.. Albert w. Newcomb whose clever
Interpretation did not fail to please. He
figured in a case of mistaken identity,
everyone in the household having a diff
ferent name for him. He began finally
to fear that he did not know who he
really was and his one ambition was to
escape
The part of Rebecca luke was taken
by Miss Nanon Heron who has had
considerable experience in amateur the
atricals and her Interpretation was par
ticularly good. Miss Potter, as Patty,
also deserves credit.
The part of Jenkins the Butler, y
taken by Glen Pricer; Sadie z. Nc
Cauley as Katherine Rogers and
Edith Dukelin as Marion Bryant,
Katherine's friend, were especially
pleasing.
The proceeds are to be used for tht
benefit of the athletic park grand stand
Another entertainment has been ar
ranged for to be presented in the col
lege chapel on Wednesday evening. MAJ

tors,' a comedy in three acts.

Chattanooga, Tenn, APSil 12-The sec
ond annual meeting of the Southern IN
city May 1913, is beginning to assume
national interest and proportions. Dele
cations from a number of northern
cities, notably New York, Philadelphia

large numbers of prominent citizens
who are interested in two of the ques-
tions that will be before the convention
are coming on their individual account
These two questions are the race prob
lem and compulsory arbitration as a
remedy for strikes boycotts and labor
disturbances.
The Industrial commission has de-
cided to send a sub-c committee from
that body to the meeting.

DEATHS VICTIM.
A Most Promising Young Man of
Neihart Called to His Eternal
Home.

IA
Death is never a welcome visitor.
Even when he attacks the aged and
iniirm, or gathers in the invalid,
whose friends have grown weary
with watching, and whose end should
seem a joyful ~deliverance. But when
the icy hand is laid upon vigorous
young manhood, then sorrow reigns
in the home, and heartstrings are
broken with the intensity of vibra-
ton. None know the depths of sor-
row but those who have had to drink
its portion.
Carl Marelius of Neihart died at
Williston, N, d., Saturday, April 81,
aged u years, 3 months, | day. BY
telegraph the sad news was flashed
to the family at Neihart, whose cir
Gle he had left but a short time be-
fore. Full of health, and buoyant
with hopes both for himself and his
parents, he had departed April . for
a trip to the east. At Williston he
stopped at the home of a sister, Mrs.
Steve Marmon, and began to help
his brother-in-law in a roundup of
horses. The change of climate, and
sleeping a night or two in a tent
gave the young man a severe cold
} which on the 10Th drove him to bed.
Pneumonia developed rapidly, and
after five days of intense suffering
the soul took its flight. On Monday
morning Geo. Marelius and Paul,
father and brother of the deceased
started for the scene, arriving there
Tuesday evening. 1t is supposed
by those here that the funeral took
place there Wednesday, and that in,
terment was made in the Williston
cemetery, where Mr.. and Mrs Mare.
Illus had already buried a younger
boy.
Carl Marelius, or "Babe," as he
was commonly called was "a mos
promising young man, full of ambi.
ton and manly qualities, He has
proved his industry at Neihart where
he has lived and worked steadily fol
several years. He was sober, steady
good natured and gentle, anc
made fast friends with everybody
Added to these qualities, and crown.
ing his work of grace he vas an al.
most constant companion of his
mother, with whom he counselled in
every detail of life's duty, The en-
tire community is moved with sym,

tory.
One of the grandest social events
in the history of Neihart was the
celebration Thursday night by Ban
ner lodge No. 40, |. o. o. F., of the
eighty-firs anniversary of the order.
The event was held in Frisco hall,
and the supper was given by that
inimitable hostelry, the best hotel in
Northern Montana. The commit
tee had worked with IA jealous
heart to have every detail we'll at
tended to, and the mural decorations
at the hall were worthy the graphic
pencil of an artist. The graceful
p~rofusion of emblems, evergreens,
bunting, flags, and fresh flowers be-
spoke labor of a decorating commit
tee which bestowed a tribute of re-
gard upon the happy attendants.
There were present the members of
the order, and ladies, and their in
vited guests. The number thus
happy to be present was about $50.
A word of praise is due the ladies
for the excellent taste and attention
displayed in their apparel. Some
most beautiful dresses appeared,
many of them for the first time, and
the splendid array Of costly dry
goods was enough to make the av-
erage young man smack his lips,
and retire to the cloak room to hug
himself.

BaIIade of Ye Grasping Rat.

"Here's a barrel to select FROM" quoth the
grasping rat,
"And I'll take the biggest apple in it, too
that's fat!'
He sunk his little teeth in the latest one and
then
Expeditiously departed toward his coy den.
But when he reached the entrance he found it
quite too small.
The apple he had brought there would not go in
at all.
So he left it by the hole, went in himself instead,
And a hungry rat that night went supperless to
bed.
There are other ~grasping rats-you meet them on

You may see them walk erect upon their two
hind feet.
