"They are simply ideal for the den in

woods or the bungalow. for those
cream and brown and black and white
tones will harmoniZe perfectly with the

will serve admirably as wall drapery

Furthermore, entire mantels are to be
covered with these spotted skins, and
in rooms in which natural ornaments.

bows, arrows and other Indian nipple

They are the most thoroughly artistic

The use of these skins is not, how

Pretty Occasion.

The commencement exercises OF
the Warren High School at the
opera house last Friday evening
was most pleasing and interesting
event. AS usual on these occasions,
there was a crowded house, and
many were unable to gain entrance.
The stage was tastefully decorated,
and seated upon it were> the gradu-
ates, teachers, singers and the board

among the most successful OF the
kind ever held here, and it was a
pleasure to note the SELF possession,

and as boundl-ss as eternity.
Among the many kinds ofinfuence
may be mentioned those Of the home,
OF education, and Of companions.
Home influence is the most import

and permanent. The most illustri.
GUS statesman, the most eloquent
ministers, the most distinguished
warriors and the greatest benefac-
tors of the human race owe their
greatness to home influence. Napol-

she will have good sons. z
The influence Of education is very
impo portant. Let us read only good
books and not waste time on those
containing q mixture Of good and
evil, for however good We may be We
can not afford this where our
thoughts are there our minds and
hearts will be.
The education Of character is
largely a question Of models; we un.

"a GREAT AMERICAN,

Abraham Lincoln" was the sub
ject which Howard Dady had chosen
for his oration, and he handled it in
a worthy manner. His delivery was
good. In part he said:
The American people stand at the
head OF the list in hero worship, wor-
Shipping only at the shrine OF noble
manhood.
Abraham Lincoln was born in
Kentucky, Feb. u, 1909. Although
he never attended school whole
year, he mastered the common
branches and law sufficiently to be
admitted to a very successful prac-
tice. Nature endowed him with a
powerful physique, good health and
wonderful intellect.
He believed slavery to be bad, but,
even as president, did notpromise to
emancipate the 100000 in bond
age. The paramount issue was the
preservation Of the Union.
He did not want slavery extended
into new territory, and, although he
did not intend, neither was he in
clined to interfere with the institu-
tion, as he thought he had no lawful
right to do so.
All the freedom he had enjoyed in
his life gathered and completed itself
| IN his emancipation proclaim alton,
which act crowned the whole culture
OF his life, and in which his whole
nature could rejoice.
Having worked himself up to the
highest position in the gift of the
people he was always in sympathy
with the plain people. AS his life
furnishes abundant evidence.
As a practical study in both ethics
and aesthetics no better work can
be set before young Americans than
the well written life Of Abraham Lin
coin. He was Americas best dia-
mond in the rough, and his was q
name not born to die.

THE POET.

, 3 ( : -A 4 =
Edgar Whitney g oration on The
Poets, was couched in choice Ian
guage and we'll delivered. In part it
was as follows:
10 the great mass of mankind, poe
try is delight and refreshment.
The varieties in natures works. Yet
each may possess its own peculiar
merit.
Chancer, who may be called ssThe
Father Of English Poetry" " delighted
in describing natural objects, and this
he did with a beauty and sweetness
scarcely to be looked for in the age in
which he lived.
In the fortunate age Of English lit
erature arose Sydney, Spencer and a
greater than these, William Shakes
peare. : In Shakespeare, 8 dramas are
to be found every kind Of poetic ex-
cellence, though there are faults
which can be imported to the taste Of
the English people at that time.
Dryden escaped the false taste Of
the time and set an example of a
noble treatment Of poetic subjects.
Wordsworth brought our literature
back from capricious forms of express
sion to fearless simplicity. Burns
Scottish poems have taught the same
lesson.
The genious Of Byron was more
vigorous, but his misanthropy and
gloom had a repellant effect upon his
readers. Southey divides with Scott
the honors of writing the first long
narrative poems which can be read
with pleasure.
Of those born at a later date, we
will mention Halleck, Bryant, Keats,
Whittier, Longfellow, Holmes, Ten
nyson, Browning, Lowell and Carle-
ton, whose names with many others
are as household words, and dear to
all.
Among those who are striving to
honor the day in which we live, we
will say Of Kipling, that he seems
never to have learned that genids is
more beautiful, when combined with
holiness.
No name in the contemporaneous
literature Of England or America is
crowned with more lasting honore
than that Of William Cullen Bryant.
He had the wisdom Of age in his
youth and the fire Of youth in his
lage. It is the glory Of this man, thai

you. The sight Of the great throng
of people assembled here is very
pleasing, for it shows your interest in
our welfare.
To the former graduates we extend
greeting. Your presence here to-
night shows love and loyalty for the
institution which time cannot destroy.
You seem to us like elder brothers
and sisters whom we respect and
honor. Likewise, we consider the
members of the lower classes as our
younger brothers and sisters whom
we should, as far as lies within our
power, help onward and upward.
You too will soon win your laurels.
We bid you welcome and wish you
success through life.
Our parents and other near and
dear relatives are thrice welcome here.
This should be happy moment to
you since you know that you have
given your child such an excellent
start in life, for a good education is
the chief requisite of success.
To those who have come here year
after year and have watched our prog
ress we extend a greeting and thank
them for the interest shown. Like
wise we welcome those here for the
first time. Some may have come
through curiosity, but by far the
greater part have come through an
earnest desire to learn of our work.
We hope you will all feel repaid
for the efforts put forth for the pro.
motion Of education within our city.
Your tlreless endeaVOTs IN our behalf
have made it possible for us TO attain
to this round in the ladder Of success.
Let us all strive to mount higher day
by day and keep our eyes aloft upon
the summit. Some have power to
achieve greatness in one way and
some in another.
We have spent about twelve years
in an earnest endeavor to secure a
good education, and, although there
have been thorns along our pathway,

MODERN MAGIC,

which he skilfully carried the

series OF experimental researches
which have rendered his name i'm
mortal
E In 1894, VIM. Marconi, destined to
become the greatest genius in the
history OF electrical SCIENCE, began
perimenting along these same lines.
Heinrich Hertz, German scien-
tist, in attempting to learn the
nature Of electricity, aecidently pro-
lduced electromagnetic waves and
detected their presence in the ether
by means OF a wire hoop, so broken
that the electricity sparkled across
the gap. This WIS the beginning of
wireless telegraphy. 1t remained
for Marconi to find some means Of
detecting these waves OF ther than by
the broken wire loop, and to make
practical the most imp portant inven-
tion since Farady s induction coil.
Marconi's initial experiments en-
abled him to transmit messages only
over short distances, but by contin-
ued efforts and improvements very
satisfactory results have been Sc
cured. No one can realize how many
problems he had to face before he
sent the first faint signal across his
fathers house, and little is known OF
the difficulties he has met and passed
in the onward march OF his effective
progress.
Today we are, and for years to
come we shall be interested in this
young man who, by hisperseverence,
hard work, and a spirit which could
not be defeated, has linked the hem
spheres together without any visi-
