Accordingly, work was begun on laying the
tracks across the new bridge yesterday

While not a plume OF gray nor gold.

Bold season. 20 hint of spring
Then come brown hurries OF trim birds
In garden closes eddying round
With futtering joy. like hurrying words
OF happy children. yet small sound
OF music makes the gladDess sweet.
But Nature. boun;iful OF charms.
Has blest Ghese wanderers. fran and fleet.
That nestle in the winters arms
and hop AMI hold where tempests meet
In his torn beard and hoary hair.
Tiu brush and briar and bristle weed
Break with the feathered fruit they bear.
Whence come the birds with merry speed.
The child. untaught OF books or art.

OF wings hutteving with his heart.

His spirit with wild desire
To buffet storms and from them bring
The breath that fans ambitious fire

Elaborate Entertainment VIII Be
Given at the School the Latter
Part OF This Week.
NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST

The senior class OF the Shortridge High
School held its last meeting Friday previous
TO tho Arabian fair and made final ar
rangements for the event The fair will
be held on the last two nights of this week
including vaudeville on Saturday after
noon. This meeting OF the seniors was one
of the most enthusiastic ever witnessed in
Shortridge. The first part OF the meeting
was devoted to receiving reports from
Chairmen OF the several committees.
So far the merchants have been
very liberal with their high school
patrons. All those who donate over 81
worth OF goods or more will be worthily
mentioned by the class on a poster that Is
TO be hung I'm the hall. with donors names
arranged according TO the amounts donated
The class as a whole is working in perfect
harmony and the committee at this meet
ing sought the advice or the class in sew
eral matters.
The later part of the seniors meeting was
not quite as agreeable as the first. The
treasurer brought up the question: Should
performance or be allowed to enter three
times on 5-cent ticket?" A boys senior
frat. which has tried to carry the elections
very strongly to this and even threatened
TO withdraw their booth from the fair. The
matter was finally settled.
The amusement committee, consisting OF
Frank Doudican, Lee Busch Fred Fobes,
Joe Nathan. Frank Beal. Harley Boyle.
Harvey Stout and Alfred Brandt, has been
working hard. Frank Doudican is at the
head OF half OF the committee arranging
for the streets of Bagdad while Joe Nathan
is chairman OF the other half, taking charge
OF the vaudeville programme The idea of
the streets Of Bagdad was originally sug-
gested by Alfred Brandt. who later also
suggested the mystic cave of Mohamned.
In the streets of Bagdad will be found all
the sfdeshows and exhibits The mystic
cave OF Mohammed will be the chief at
traction. The cave Is made up of under
ground subways and winding channels of
darkness, with only ropes or some other
guide TO show the way through. in some
part the cave will be brightly illuminated.
showing mummies OF the Egyptian age.
An admission will be charged 10 the streets
OF Bagdad and a separate admission for
each OF the sideshows.
The vaudeville committee has made ar
rangements for two different vaudeville
programmes for Friday night and Saturday
afternoon. On Saturday night there Will
be a wedding, under the direction OF an
Armenian Of this city, who is thoroughly
acquainted with the ceremony.
The schools session for this term closes
on Wednesday, and as Mr.. Benton will not
excuse anyone from recitatfons, the seniors
will make the old school building hum with
preparations for the fair on Thursday and
Friday. The most difficult part of the ar
engagements IS the building OF the booths
and the decorating, which will tend to make
Shortridge hall look more like carnival
than a school.

Jake Gerig, Edwin Pittman and

piece by the madOlin club. composed

exquisite production.
The solos of Messrs. Nash, Barnes,
Morris, the Gerigs, Taylor, Masters,

The solo of Usher Norwood was the
hit of the show. Usher is only
