songs
When everything was prepared in the
dining room the entire club assembled
in the parlor and marched to the. ban

Miss Grace Gooduer, who pesided at the
piano.
Upon reaching the dining room the
Seniors took the places at the head of
the table, the Juniors came next and
were followed by the sophomores while
at the foot were the Freshmen.
The menue consisted of cold meat
sandwiches, salad, devilled eggs, olives,
jello, marguerites, sherbet, nabiscos,
punch and almonds.
After the bountiful supper was dis

WALTER ROSE
delivered "a Plea for Nature. a nat.
ural subject for one of his tastes and
1nclinations, in manner and with a
flow of smooth language which proved
that in his scientific researches he had
not neglected the literary. A leading
thought in his grafton was that much
is missed by Understanding and
overlooking nature; by mistaking the
natural for the artificial, or by not
seeing the natural basis of all that is
artificial. His. address was thought
full and scholarly and like orners on
the program worthy of wider publ
cation.
EMMA LEWIS
gave expression to subject matter of
much interest in her treatment of
"The Literary Prospect of South Da-
kota." Her rehearsal of the literary
work already accomplished was no
doubt something of a revelation to
many. She maintained that the ro-
mantle history of the sta,e and its
natural conditions were conducive to
work of a high order in the Held of
letters, and that while our writer's
were not so prolific as some the good
quality of their productions were
marked by degree of perfection at
tanned only in work which is the
cream OF the authors thought.
ROBERT GLECKLER
was OF, course expected to give some
thing good and he did not disappoint
the audience. In his Grafton '.sThe
American Boy" he delineated a high
ideal of young American manhood, in
spring in us thought and replete with
effective rhetorical turns easily adapt
ed to the oratorical expression he was
able to give them. In the opinion of
the audience Mr.. Checker exceeded his
former efforts in delivery.
ETHEL BRINK
treated "The Pioneer, an object of
close association with us Of the west,
in an Interesting way : he shades of
light and darkness that alternately i'll
lumine and darken the viscitudinary
lie of the pioneer We're well portrayed
and his influence on the country noted
in appreciative words.
LOUISE GLECKLER
was listened to with more than ordin-
airy interest, she having only few
days before won the laurels in the
state declamatory contest at Yankton.
Shall We Go to College was her sub
Eject and she threw herself into the
work oil supporting the affirmative
with an energy, forcefulness and
grace lnat made it easy for one to
picture her gaining added honors in
the oratorical line.
s RUTH MEAD
owing to the difficulty that she has
had with her eyes of late was excused
from presenting the re. s.lar Senior
Grafton. She completed the work with
the class however with highest hon
ors, being assigned the place of vailed
ictorian on class day. Miss Ina SUIT
ley who has the next highest average
standing for the four years will be
the salutatorian.
Interest was added to the program
BY musical numbers vocal solos by
Miss Blanche Hitchcock Of Blunt and
Miss Grace Goodner, and mandolin

The first regular commencement
season event Of the Pierre High School
was the delivering of the Senior ora
tions at .Ae central building on Fri
day afternoon. The exercises lasted
about three hours and were listened
to by number of relatives of the
graduates and other interested citl-
zens. The orations were varied in
their nature and yet all had about
them ring of loyalty to South Da-
kota and belief in her present and
future, which inspired the audience
with the belief that the speakers were
of just the nature and material that
the state needs and wishes to have
turned loose wi.n.n her borders.
The first number on the program
was the Grafton Of
CHRISTINE MADSEN,
the subject being Pierre, the Future
Great" The treatment gwen the sub
ject showed the speaker to be familiar
with 4e malLer of urban development
of the past, what the causes were, able
to make deductions therefrom, and
we'll acquainted with the resources
and possibilities of .erre. Her nope
full picture of the future Pierre, was

tive premises. Because OF its local
interest, the article is reproduced in

Traders" held the attention of all
closely as she related and emulated
the early work Of the traders in the
Northwest and showed the influence
they had upon the future of the terri
tory in which they operated, of which
South Dakota is q part. Miss Suth-

Sam Bridge Peculiar.

The late Gen Sam Bridge, many years ago appraiser general for the whole Pa citic coast, was notorious for many things, particularly the fashion of hold ing very excited conversations with him self; and he used quite often to frighten nervous persons who happened to be travelling in the same car with him, by gestculating wildly and glaring savagely with his one eye. He was an entirely sane man, indeed very shrewd. with worldwide reputation for being closer than the bark to a tree, yet many per sons of superficial observation believed him to be a dangerous lunatic. l asked him once why he talked to himself and he remarked with a twinkle: Ever since l was boy l always liked to converse with a sensible man" I am constantly reminded of this queer old fellow by peo- pie In New York. l stood on the corner of a street the other day and counted hundred passers-by. Seventeen were talking to themselves quite audbly and of almost as many more the lips were slightly moving, as if they were on the point of framing in sentences the thoughts within their minds. Only two of this number were unsteady in their gait and apparently under the influence of liquor or one of the many drugs which New Workers, under the appalling stress of life, are so apt to indulge in. There is a lady to be seen nearly every day in Central park, who almost constantly converses with herself and sometimes gesticulates. She is not an actress Many actresses and actors. of course. have this habit because they are coming a part, but 1t Is my observation that 10 per cent Nof the people who stroll along Broad way talk to themselves. The eucidation of this phenomenon l leave to the scien- tst. Perhaps pr. Grdner, who generally has an explanation for everything in the universe. would attribute it to the prevalence of great noises in New York city, concerning whose effects on the nervous system he has written quite learnedly and would say that these peo- pie are so oppressed by the noise that they are impelled to jaw back in self-de- fense.

The winter has been so long and has hung on so hard here-we had a snow
 storm on April 14th-that New Workers who are trying to force the season. in their ache for spring deserve commisera- ton rather than ridicule. l saw a man with straw hat on the day of the snow storm which turned warm towards af- ternoon--a new straw hat and a gay era vat which would have made a rainbow look like thirty-seven centimes. But the best proof that spring Is near. If not ac- tually here, Is the recent discussion of conation at the preachers meeting in the New Brunswick district of our sister state.

Jiminez Popular.

That perpetual patriot and leader Qf rich red revolutions in San Domingo. Gen. Juan Isidro Jimineg ex-president of the Dominican republic, has been adorn- ing New York with his presence. He had hardly gotten comfortably settled in Ho- tel Muro, on West Fourteenth street, hostelry much favored by West Indians, when a small army of his New York admirers, compatriots chiefly, began to Lombard him with their cards. Jiminez denies that he came for the purpose of buying arms and ammunition. 1 jus trip over for New York take resi- he said with a subtle. dusky smile. New Yorks a queer place to come for rest, general" said l. "By-the-bye, hows datest, revolution progressing, or is that resting too?" This fine type of strenuous statesman answered affably: T not trou- ble self about that, 1 have nothing to say. I let revolotion run self awhile. But we control Province of Monte Chris ii and part of the interior. We are right, and, what you say, all right" As l was leaving the Muro,I noticed Emilio Vil- lalon, who is consular secretary here of the republic, and brother-in-law of Pres ident Morales. haunting the corridor. yillalon has no use for Jiminez and what he said was amusing: Those Jiminez rebels are the baddest of eggs. They are the Tammany Hallers of San Domingo. By Jimnez that's true" Gen Ex-Presi- dent Jiminez, however, fin spite of the strained relations between himself and President Morales. intends to Invade Washington and have an interview with President Roosevelt. When a strenu- osity meets a strenuoslty in this way, what will happen? More. perhaps. than what occurs between governors of North Carolina and South Carolina.

Hotel Men Troubled.

Many hotel proprietors in New York are anathematizing the St. Louis expo sition. not because they are losing GUS tom, but because of the unrest which the exposition has created in the breasts of many patient walters. One of these pro- prietors expressed himself in quite saw age terms q am receiving constant complaints from my guests, and in some cases guests of long standing about the service they are getting And they are quite right. The walters have been de- moralized by the high wages offered in St. Louis during the term of the exposi- ton. It is extremely hard to keep up an effective, harmonious staff. We are con- stantly obliged to take on raw recruits and the quarrels that arise between the new walters and the old ones extend into the kitchen and require a constant pour ing of oil over the troubled waters. Just now the hotel mans lot in New York, like that of the policeman in Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, is not happy one.'

AnqeIs Are Strenuous.

My good friend, Rev. Dr. Kaylor, of Long Island. Is noted for his original ideas; one of which. causing no end of controversy and especially stirring up the bile of New York's ten thousand and one poets, is that Heaven contains no feminine angels. Most peoples idea of an angel he remarked not long ago in his pulpit. "is a beautiful graceful white robbed female figure with wing to each shoulder, floating peacefully through the air. I wish to say, there are no female angels. Angels are strong and glorious creatures" President Roosevelt, too, is credited with the opinion that angels are strenuous creatures, not simply beauti- full floaters out of reach. Mrs Eddy, however, and most of her high-priest- esses declare that angels are not sepa- rate entities at all. but merely thoughts of the Divine Mind. percolating through space. an idea almost paralleled by the old Greek poet. Homers conception con- corning dreams; for in the first book of the Iliad, he says. dreams are sent or projected from love. Who shall decide this point? Meantime the poets are mad, raven mad, like poor Edgar A. Poe; for poets believe in female angels. and need 'em In their business.

SAM BRIDGE VERY QUEER
BY JOHN MARTHoL.

New York, April 2S-Caligula. or was 1t Tiberius? once rode his favorite horse into the Roman senate and had the ani- nal solemnly ordained a Roman senator. This happened 1900 years ago and may be merely one of them any fables of his- tory, like the fiawless beauty of Alexan- der Hamilton's personal character and the supreme devilishness of Aaron Burr's. But 1t is fact that man in New York is in the habit twice a day of leading his companionable horse into a little German saloon near Third avenue and treating this animal of depraved taste to a stout dram of whiskey. The frequenters of the place are so accustom- ed to the spectacle that they pay no es- pecial attention to the man and his queer boon companion.
