There is one thing that the In
dex admires in Judge Lester as a
newspaper correspondent, even if
he is employed by our competitor.
He does not lower the dignity of
the staff by trying to get off some
thing witty about the Index. There
is marked contrast between the
judges style and another cor
respondent on the same paper, in
this respect. The individual whom
we have in mind is young yet and
still has time to learn, although
the chances seem to be against
him. The moisture behind the
ears is still in evidence and while
his witticisms % directed against
the Index are entirely satisfactory
and in,fact,a source of literary pride
to him, to the public they look RI
diculous. This young man is said
to be possessed of some book
education-just enough to make
him foolish-but nature, it seems,
has dealt unkindly with him in the
formation of his thinkworks. A
little book learning without any
evidence of common horse sense
is more serious handicap than
absolute idiocy, and a man of that
character, young or old, who poses
before his neighbors and upon the
thoroughfares as literary genius
never attains to the desired pinnacle
of fame, but is invariably rated in
the public mind at his true value
"a human freak and an ordinary
Sham. We hope it will not again
be necessary to SO unpleasantly re-
fer to this youthful and verdant up
start.

1.-THE MOUSE TRAP"

The new departure on the part
of Prof. A. B. Honnold and the
members of the High School class,
assisted by others, in presenting the
laughable comedy, "The Mouse
Trap, instead of the usual gradua
ton orations, was highly appreciat-
ed by a tremendous audience at the
opera house last Friday night.
The cast was as follows:
Mrs. Amy Summers Ia young
widow. =. Una Holmes
Mr.. Campbell. ..........
......... Summerheld Alexander
lane Maid Grace Williams
Mrs. Agness Roberts.
............... Mary Mccoy
Mrs. Miller. Alma Shell
Mrs. Lou Bemis.. -. Mary Davis
Mrs. Curwil. .........
... Elizabeth Fitzgerald.
The ideas which the comedy
pictured were the tendencies of
men generally, and especially those
in politics, to underrate womans
importance and her courage and
her responsibilities in life, the siren
uous protest that woman enters
to such an unjust analysis of her
true sphere, and last but not least,
while brave and indomitable in the
weighty affairs of the world, their
utter decentralization and collapse
at the sight or even the thought of
a mouse. The presentation was
without dull moment and those
who participated carried their
parts without a single interruption
and evinced talent equal to that OF
professionals on the stage.
While it was merely a comedy,
there was very realistic and sym
pathetic semblance to every day
life in that part of the play which
had six ladies on chairs and on
tables while one lone, poor man
was trying in alienation to "kill
the mouse" and convince the ladies
that "there is no mouse" amidst
the almost frantic appeals and
screams of the fair ones in distress
The music was furnished by the
High School Chorus and was ex-
cellent. Rev. ]. ]. Griffin present
ed the diplomas to the members Of
the class Summerheld Alexander
Una Holmes and Grace Williams
with an address full of praise anc
advice. Rev. L. Patterson pro
nounced the invocation.
There were no flowers in connec
ton with the exercises. The
practice is gradually fading out O.
date as needless trouble and ex
pense on graduating occasions anc
few cities now observe it.
The stage decorations were very
beautiful and attractive.
Thus ends another school yeal
and three more young people Of
Medicine Lodge have been added
to those who have completed
the high school course ready tt
enter upon new and greater re
sponsibilities. The Index con
graduates them upon their achieve
mentS.
The term just closed reflect
great credit upon Prof. Honnolo
and his assistants unto whom thu
gratitude of the patrons is due.
