Lucknow School Closes.

Every sweet has its bitter" was
repeated last Saturday afternoon
by a patron of Lucknow School
who, after witnessing a scene OF
merriment which is nothing unusu-
al on the last day of school, was
made to think of the quotation used
when the time of parting came.
l am very grateful to the parents
and pupils tor the kindness and re-
spect shown me while serving them
as teacher and trust that ! have
deserved receiving that of them.
They have indeed made the sweet
greatly exceed the bitter.
Many of the pupils deserve praise
for their excellent work in school,
among whom are Lillian White,
Genie Helm, Ida May Key, Ella
Key and Lee Clogs, who received
certificates at the close of school.
Two little girls, Laura Reid and
Leila May Cloyes. were so fortunate
as to go the entire school without
having a mark ct absence placed
after their names.

OF SANTA
CLARA TO PRODUCE
THE ETERNAL LIGHT"
Pfay Is the Work
OF Clever Bou
Playwright.

SANTA CLARA. Nov. 4-Much inter-
est is attached to the preparations now
being made by the Senior Dramatic
Club OF Santa Clara College to produce
az the college theater on the evening Of
November % a religious drama entitled
The Eternal Light" California critics
will watch the effect OF the new play
with special attention. as its young au-
thor, Martin v. Merle, who is still a
student at the college, has introduced
himself most favorably already by two
small pIayIets, The Cardinals Pris-
oner'' and The Prairie Judgment the
latter of which scored a distinct sue
cess at the AIcazar Theater, San Fran
cisco. last July.
The present drama is a tale Of the
persecution, full of the pomp and glitter
Of the pagan court, and Is built upon
the character of the famous boy mar
tyr, Pancratius. whom Wiseman in his
"Fabiola'' has immortalized- Sebastian.
the giant captain in the Emperor's
guard, the Emperor, Diocletian; Cor
vinus, prefect OF Rome, and Dionysius.
father of Pancratfus. are the principal
characters in the drama
he play has OECn
for nearly two months, the intention
being to- make IL the most spectacular
and elaborate production that the dra-
matte club of the old mission college
has yet presented. Brilliant scenic and
electrical effects, costumes copied from
famous paintings. specially prepared
music and a male choir OF twenty voices
are the prominent features OF The
Eternal Light"
A miracle effect is introduced in
the fourth act in q strikingIy effective
manner. Pancrstius is forced TO his
knees by the Emperor's guards before
a massive statue of the god Jupiter, 10
whom he is commanded TO pay homage
by DiocIetian- In answer TO his cry for
help a binding fash Of light snashes
the idol to fragments and leaves in its
place a brilliantly lighted cross. In the
midst Of the sudden hush Pancratius
clings to the cross, sobbing, as the cur
tain descends.
In the closing scene OF the drama
double impersonation OF the boy mar
tyr Immediately after he is thrown TO
the beasts in the Coliseum renders pos
sibIe a wonderful transformation scene,
in which the spirit Of the young Chris
tian rises from the mangled body on
the arena floor The courtroom Of the
Emperor is another brilliant scene, In
which nearly one hundred persons take
