League Contest.

The non-oratorical section of the
League Contest of the high schools
of Pierce and St. Croix counties was
held in the M. E. church here last
Friday evening. The house was
crowded. Delegations were present
from all the localities represented
by the speakers, some of the dele
cations being especially large, no.
tably that from Hudson. Each of
the school deleg atoms had it's Pc
culiar yell, which was operated to
the limit of its capacity, stentorian
voices being reinforced with mega
phones. 1t would seem from the
harshness of these school yells that
the most raucous combinations of
sounds were selected for an incon-
gruous noise. Before the contest
ants began their tasks, and after
the conclusion of the program, the
noise was-indescribable. 1t would
be useless, futile, 70 attempt a de-
scription.
There were nine Speakers, all
girls but one. We will not particu-
larize the speakers. 1t would be
difficult to compare one with an
other as to which was the best in
every feature. The speaking was
good in every case. 1t was fine
entertainment. The perfection of
the speaking shows what cultiva-
ton will do. These nine young peo-
pie stood before that vast audience
of critics without apparent en-
barrassment and delivered long
recitations in clear voice, distinct
enunciation and with emotions in
sympathy with the sentiment of the
piece each spoke. That the speak
ing was good by all may be gather
ed from the decision of the five
Judges, each Judge an elocutionist.
The registration of the decision
shows that five of the nine speakers
were marked as firstly one or more
of the judges; two of the speakers
ranged in their markings from one
to nine; one from one to eight; one
from one to seven; one from one to
four.
Miss Allie Hamilton of the River
Falls high school was awarded first
place, Miss Ella Wells of New Rich
mond second and Miss Verna Jones
of Hudson third. Miss Hamilton
will represent the League in the
District contest at Chippewa Falls
tomorrow night.

Uncle Toms Cabin" was exc
cuted by the kids Saturday after
noon with agility, pathos and ba-
thos. The audience was select, at
tentive and contented, large and
respectable. (The last clause needs
limitation. The audience, being
composed mostly of kids, could not
be called large in the sense intend
ed by Hon. John P, Hale in report
ing his first lecture on abolition
ism. He had stated that the as
sembly at his lecture was large,
and respectable, but it was soon
ascertained that one person only
comprised his audience. Asked how
he reconciled the facts with his
statement said: II am large and
the other man is respectable. ~
The performance of Uncle Toms
Cabin" was entered into with COM
mendable spirit, fresh voices and
little skill. Occasionally few
words seemed to need lubricating in
order that the vertebrae might ar
ticulate without jangle, but by a
species Of circumlocution they found
the spot and stuck there like burr
to sleeps tail. The speakers and
actors emphasized the supposition
that they had in them the intima-
tons of talent for the stage. If this
talent is literally fertilized and per-
sistently cultivated with hoe it
will grow and probably produce a
crop of stage stars. In fact the
agility of the performance of Uncle
Tom would seem to demonstrate the
conclusion that if the kids don't
get there on both feet" it will be
because their mothers won't let
them go barefoot or they have a
,stone-bruise on their heels.

A Consideration. .rurx

On one occasion native in Kali.
Hawaii, cheated neighbor out of a
small sum of money The community
was indignant and determined that the
guilty party should be punished. The
day of the trial came, the testimony
was conclusive, the judge closed his
charge, reminding the jury that at
takes nine to convict" for three
fourths majority was required instead
Of unanimous jury. 1t was thought
that the twelve might decide in the
box, but the Hawaiian likes form. and
they gravely withdrew to the Jury
room. They were gone an unconscion-
able time. At length the judge, impa-
tent, sent to find out what in the
world was the matter and discovered
this predicament: All twelve were for
conviction, and no three could be in
duced to vote for the defendant.
