students Give Credftable Presentation
Of ssThe Cricket on the Hearth"

Another red-letter date was added to the
theatrical calendar of the Shortridge High
School last night, when the lob Dramatic
Club gave a very creditable performance
OF Dickens's well-known play 1.-The Cricket
on the Hearth" 1t would hardly be fair to
compare this production with previous at
tempts of the young actors However, con-
sidering the experience of the players, last
nights performance was a decided success.
Carl Brickert directed the work. and Miss
O'Hair and Miss Ray managed the enter
prise. The proceeds Of the entertainment
will be used to help pay for the new stage
The performance went off smoothly, and
in a number of ways was an improvement
over previous productions. The stage set
tings and scenic arrangements were better
than before, and the electrical effects de-
cidedly clever. The setting of the second
act. showing Caleb Plummer's toy shop,
was especially good. All the work behind
the curtain was under the direction of
Lloyd South, Walter Scholler and Edward
Hunticutt. The music was furnished by
the Shortridge Orchestra. in charge of
Prof. Birge.
their parts well. and brought out the story
of the mistrustful husband in a satisfac-
tory manner. The best work was done by
Miss Mary Holton as the blind girl Her
acting was excellent. Robert Lowry. in the
principal role of John Perrybingle, was
good, and Miss Georgia Crul made de-
Cidedly winSome and appealing Dot tJOhn'S
wife). She carried the part of the wrongly
accused wife very well, and her work
throughout would have done credit to one
more used to the calcium lights. Mont
gomery Lewis as Caleb Plummer, also
made a favorable impression and his stage
presence good. The Gruff and Tackle
ton of Albert Burns was one of the best
characters in the play. and was portrayed
in most capable manner. A clever bit of
comedy acting was done by Miss Madge
Cramer as lilly Slowboy and Marguerite
Brundage Mrs. Fielding caused much
amusement. All of the minor characters
were for the most part done acceptaby.
The costumes were one of the features of
the piece, and the entire performance was
as novel as il was entertaining. Ii was
exceedingly amusing TO see the odd and &C.
centric characters of Dickens in the hands
of such small actors, but the idea. while

the play was the dance of the fairies by
twelve little girls about six years old, clad

TELEGRAPH POLES MOVED
BEAM ON TRAIN DOES MUCH DAMAGE
Near Babcock-lt Had Become Unloosered
and Swung Outward Fifty Feet-None of
the Train Crew Seriously Iniur ed

One of the Strangest freaks in the
memory of railroad men happened on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, near Babcock, Sunday night. \
heavy freight, loaded with piling,
passed at a rapid rate through the
village when one of the piles on two
of the fiat cars IN front Of the cabooSe
became looSened. 1t was driven back
part way through the cabooSe where
conductor Tom Pennewell and d
brakeman were sitting. The shock
that resulted hurled the men from
the car but neither were seriously
hurt by the fall.
The end of the timber then swung
outward forty-five or fifty feet and as
the train swept on it moved every
telegraph pole down to within four
feet of the ground. The path of
destruction finally ended at Cranmoor
where the train was stopped.
The antics Of the beam did not
stop with the telegraph poles. 1t also
completely demolished a box car
standing on siding, then swung over
and missed two frame buildings
which were in its line near the track.
The pile finally dropped from the
train after having cut down seventy
five telegraph poles and destroyed one
box car.

WANTS SHORTER SESSION
Hon. F. A. Cady Scores Absent Members Gi
Legislature.

The asse sembly Saturday engaged in
a long debate on the adviSabiilty of
holding Saturday sessions, and at the
conclusion of the discussion there was
apparently as much diversity of opin-
ion on the subject as ever. The
discussion was precipitated by a
resolution introduced by Mr.. Cady,
chairman Of the Judiciary committee.
authorizing the cEairmen of the
various committees to call meetings
of the committees on Tuesday, Wed
nesday, and Thursday evenings of
each week. The proposition for
evening sessions of the committees
was made as substitute for the
Saturday session plan for the house.
and was suggested because thirty
nine of the one hundred members of
the assembly were absent from the
session this morning. The resolution
was rejected by vote of 33 to b.
MIR. Cady urged the resolution on
the ground that the Saturday session
plan had always proven failure,
because so few members could be
induced to remain here over Sunday.
He said That the hardest work of the
session was done in committees and
the only way to shorten the session
was 0 get quick action on the bills
in committees. He was utterly
opposed to holding sessions on Satur-
day, because experience had demon
strated that they were useless because
the great majority Of the members
refused to remain here for them. By
keeping the committees at work
evenings instead Of holding evening
sessions of the house more real work
would be accomplished, the speaker
declared. Mr.. Cady scored the
absent members who voted Friday for
a session Saturday and then went off
home.
Messrs Bradford. Frear, E. w.
Evans. and SmaIey opposed the
resolution and MeSSrs. Wallrich and
Barker supported it. Mr. Wallrich
said it was false economy to attempt
to hold Saturday sessions when such a
large number of the members refused
to remain for them. Mr., Smoker
suggested that the judiciary commit
tee, which is conceded to be the
hardest worked committee in the
house, be divided into TWO bodies and
the work apportioned between them.
The resolution was finally lost by a
standing vote of 33 to l3.

What gives the engineer his cue
Each minute. day and hour?
Do you think of him who tolls fer hours

To know If eafe to bring you through
