Oratorical Contest

The annual Oratorical contest OF the
college was held last Friday evening
at the college chapel. This contest
was held for the purpose Of selecting
representative to the state oratorical
contest which will be held at Huron
sometime during the month of May.
The contest was indeed close and was
as interesting contest as was ever
held in this city. Cecil Salmon won
first place, while Carl Reich won
second. The judges were DR.. E. p.

future for this youngster. OF course
there are others in the show. Made
DeLong in the title part gave most
careful impersonation Of the Swedish
girl, not once losing her character,
and was welcomed by the audience at
every entrance. Renile Lea dishes
out comedy in large measures. Lea
has good song and corkscrew dance
that is new. Nita Keene as Emalina
done her share to cater to the comedy
element. The cast is an unusually
strong one. Special mention is due
Walter Morton and Helen Davenport.
Robert Barrett, while trifle slow at
times, is an actor of ability. Frank
Rochafeld appeared to good advan-
tage, particularly in the first act.
The scenic effects are good. The
water scene and snow storm winning
much applause. There will be a
matinee today and performance this
evening and it is safe to say large
audience will be in evidence. -Sedalia

CRAWFORD AND HALL
Greeted by Large Audience at Madi-
son Thursday

Coe l. Crawford and Philo Hall
spoke at Madison Thursday evening
to a large audience and they were
greeted with enthusiasm. The Madi-
son Leader closes its report of the
meeting with the following comment
presumed to hint at Senator Kittredge:
"Aside from the Crawford meeting,
the man who never tires reading the
history of his glorious country-the
most magnificent nation on earth
cannot help feeling his face burn with
shame when he compares the unset
fish, patriotic services Of the Lincolns
and others who made our country what
it is today possible, with the head of
the political machine that rules the
republican party of our state of South
Dakota today. 1t comes close home
to us when the fathers and mothers,
the young men and young women of
this state are subjects to be misrepre-
sented in the councils of the nation by
one who has not single sacred tie in
our own state-family or otherwise
except a controlling interest in the
driveling Sioux Falls Argus-Leader
whose editorial vaporings at the behest
of its master are humiliating to intel
ligent, thinking men who pay the
taxes and support the public institu-
tions and develop the resources which
have made South Dakota the grandest
young state in the nation"

NapOIcOn's Marksmanship.
Rulers have always been flattered,
from Canute's time downward, it be-
ing it would seem, an unwritten law
that a mOnarchs weak points should
pass unrecogniZed. Napoleon III. once
said, in consoling a friend who chanced
to be shooting with him for his poor
craftsmanship:
"You need not fret about it. The en-
perOr by which he meant his uncle the
great Napoleon L. was even a worse
shot than you are. The only time they
put a gun in his hand he killed poor
hound and went away thinking he had
killed stag.
''In those days the stag, whenever
brought to bay, was left for the en-
peror to kill. One day, however, the
emperor was not to be found, and the
master Of the staghOunds finished the
animal with his knife. Just then the
emperor came In sight.
"They hurriedly got the dead stag on
its legs, propping it up with branches,
etc, and handed the emperor the cara
pine Ol uOHOE, as IL was CdllSu. AAO
emperor fired, and of course the stag
tumbled over, but at the same time
there was a piteous whine from one of
the hounds, which had been shot
through the head.
"The emperor wheeled around, I'M
conscious of the mischief he had done,
saying to one Of the aids-de-camp,
After all, 1 am not as bad a shot as

ture Of Jefferson Davis and his cab
met has been presented to the state
department of archives and history by
Hon. Samuel D. Weakley, chief JUS
tice of the supreme court. This is sup
posed to be one of two of it's kind in
existence. The picture was made in
1866 by Thomas Kelly, of New York,
and was secured by Judge Wealzley
from the armory of the Porter Guards,
of Memphis, of which he was an Off
Ger. The supposed only other copy
of the picture is owned by Mrs. Jas.
T. Halsey, of Philadelphia, who says
that the plates were destroyed by the
federal government during the war.
Judge Weakley did not realize how
rare his copy was until he saw the
statement of Mrs. Halsey that she had
the only one in existence.
