HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Il
The Seniors scored a double header
IN the declamatory contest last Tues
day evening. Their two declaimors had
the highest average and one of them
captured first place. In the class aver
ages, the Sophomores got second place.
Second place in the individual contest
went to the Juniors
Mary McNeal, Senior, won the place
of honor. She delivered "Conor," a
very difficult Irish selection, in which
humor and sadness are intermingled.
Her Irish brogue was perfect and
showed some very clever work. Elsie
Dupre, Junior, took second place, de-
Iivering THE Gypsy Flower Girl" and
Iona Nickerson, Sophomore, deliver
ing Mercedes" captured third place
All the rest of the declamors did very
good work and deserve great deal of
praise.
The way IN which the contestants
were marked was as follows: Each
Judge was given piece of paper with
the names of the seven declamations
upon it. After the girls had all finished,
the judges marked down on their re-
spectlve papers the places they thought
the contestants deserved, putting
after the defamation they thought de-
served second place, and so on down
through the seven. These papers were
then collected, taken into the office and
the numbers after the respective decla.-
nations added up. The smallest num-
Der OF points that defamation could
draw is number equal to the number
OF judges, which happened to be five in
this case. Supposing a defamation
was given first place by five judges, it
would have five points, another is given
second place by five judges, it would
have ten points. So you see the decla-
nation having the fewest number of
points wins first place.
The ranking of the girls that won the
hrSt three places was as follows, the
figures denoting the places the judges
gave them
Contestant. Mark of judges. Total.
Mary McNeal........1 / 81
Iona Nickerson....2 5 6 2 1-f6
Elsie Dupre..........4 2 2 A 4-16
This gave Mary McNeal first place
and the other two girls tie for second.
The rules that govern the marking pro-
vide that in case of tie the vote is re-
ranked, dropping out the marks of con-
testants that won places above the tie.
Then the points are again added up and
the person with the fewest points for
total wins the tie. In re-ranking for
second place Elsie Dupre won out The
marks were as follows:
Elsie Dupre..........3 8 3-11
Iona Nickerson.....1 5 1-12
The winners of first and second
places, Mary McNeal and Elsie Dupre,
will represent Wausau in the league
contest next Friday night, to be held at
the high school, Grand Rapids, Stew
ems Point and Merrill will send contest
ants here for the event. Program
starts at o'clock, admission % cents.

OF
THE REDS
Continued from rage o.

kltCnen- NO, the Old Paris never would
rise from the blackened ashes The davs
of her glory had passed forever.
Now, Rohan was up early the morning
when the Prussian dragons were 10
enter the city, and to the great content
of FranCoise the housekeeper and Gilbert
the valet their master announced his in
tention of spending the day in his garden
and of sending for the old Able Bertrand
to read the papers to him.
The able had played the comic
tragedy with the best of them. and
nothing was to be feared of him. So
Gilbert went off to fetch him smartlv
enough, while the old woman Francoise
hastened to the kitchen, being sure that
Mademoiselle Dolores would visit them
at an early hour on such day and that
Edmund Orlopp would be with her.
There were not two people in all Paris
that day so astonished as these two
worthless when upon Gilbert's return he
discovered that the Vicomte had left
the garden and was nowhere to be found
in the house or out of it.
Frightened out of their wits, the old
couple sent messages to the English
doctors house and to that of Dolores
MOriZon. What mattered it whether
the Germans We're at Longchamps or in
the Rue de Rivoli, if their beloved master
had gone from them? A suspicion of
the worst logged them. They feared
that the Vicomte was already dead.
Rohan had gone from the house as
determined never to enter it again as anv
man could be. With a firm tread upon
a pavement he knew so well many
a word of apology to those he e1bowed
aside. this blind soldier went out to see
the Prussians The fact that he stood
alone did not in anyway daunt him.
\ heroic idea to do some great deed that
should be written in the story of the
war gave him courage anew and put
aside the memory of his affliction His
to be the task; he, Rohan, Captain of
Hussars his the last word of France
conquered and afraid. The secrecy of
his purpose. the visions which his dis
ordered brain showed him, alike delighted
him. If he halted by the way, it was
that he might ask the road to the Prus-
sian bivOuac of a passer-by whose foot
step his quick ear declared to him
"The King of Prussia such a one
would reply All we shall not catch
him here yet; but old Bismarck is coming
they say, and it is yonder over among
the trees that you will find the dragons,
monsieur"
Such directions carried him some dis
tance; but the trees on the sidewalks
of the avenues often baffled him; and
few wayfarers had leisure on such a
morning to help blind soldier, who
after all was lucky enough to be able
to see nothing OF this surprising humili-
alton. Men told him as much plainly
Women, for the most part, gave him
kind word but We're too curious to see
the Prussians to bestow much attention
upon him. 1t remained for girl, dressed
entirely in black, but evidently accus-
toned to different company from that
of the mob about her, to take him by the
hand and lead him toward the soldiers.
You cannot see them, monsieur.
Why do you wish to go?"

ADDITIONAL LUMBER CUT A.
SURED FOR THE TOWN.

Akeley is to have her regular $26. 600
monthly pay day extended for a con-
tinuous period of 10 years and half,
by a recent acquisition of the Red
River Lumber Co. of the immense
timber holdings of Walker & Akeley.
in this section Of the state, which
will no doubt reach the billion foot
mark, says the Akeley Tribune. The
Tribune learns from what appear to
be authentic sources that the deal has
practically been closed.
This vast tact of timber, aside
from the Company's present enormous
holdings and probable future timber
acquisitions, ensures long life to the
mill, and will naturally inspire con-
fdence among our business men.
The many improvements of Ahe past
year have created general impression
that the company were preparing for
an indefinite run, and that they had
sufficient timber in sight to keep the
wheels turning for years.
News Of the big deal will be JOY
ously received In Akeley. It means
continued steady growth for the town,
and a good market for the farming
community which is being rapidly
settled by sturdy set of real tillers

At the present time Akeley enjoys
