Mrs. anderson, the part taken by
Kate Henry was splendidly done Miss
Henry did not overdo her part but
realized. all that there was in the
role. Leslie Rieter as the hen peck
ed husband who like the worm would
turn once in while did very we'll.
Miss Anderson, the role assumed by
Miss Lydia Kick was a difficult one
and Miss Kick played it to perfec-
tion-s She looked very sweet and we'll
worthy the lover she gained after
much plotting by the heavy william,
Stewart SERVER whose manners were
most Chster fieldian though his
morals and motives were not all they
might be. Alex Aebischer did his
part as the Dutch lover in very fine
style. Charlie Luney the hired man
provoked much amusement. While
his table manners left much to be
deserved his heart was in the right
place and his woolng of Cynthy Ann
Duke was rewarded as all hoped it
would be by success. Miss Heiden
did her part as Cynthy Ann remark
ably we'll. Betsy Malcolm neighbcr
girl was impersonated by Miss Helen
Burch and she was very winning and
captivating maiden. George Daniel
son was simply fine as the father of
the German lover. Miss Jacobson as
the mother at her sons sick bed with
his sister Marie Rath were very good
in their parts. Hugh Nash as the
hermit philosopher made every one
happy in the last act and smcouhed
the path of the lovers. The neigh
Dor women in the singing class and
also in the scene where the Millerites
await the coming of the end of the
world were the Misses Muir, Hall,
Strain, Merrill, Laub, Aebischer, Van

The performance went off in a very
smooth way and showed much care
and drill had been given. The school
and teachers are to be sincerely con-
graduated. Music between acts was
given by the Misses Lally, Merrill
and Laub and was much enjoyed.

THE CLASS PLAY

The End of the World, a play
presented by the graduating class at
the opera house Tuesday evening
proved to be a most entertaining and
delightful evening. The individuality
of each member of the class was
presented in very interesting way,
more so than it could have been with
the conventional essay or grafton.
The play was given in five acts,
the scene being in country neighbor-
hood in southern Indiana with the

showing the effect of the musical
training now given in our schools.
The commencement address, ''The
New American and the New Prob
lem'' was delivered by DR.. A. Steiner
of Grinnell College. We regret that
we have not space or time for full
synopsis of this address. 1t must
suffice us to say that it was one of the
most eloquent. thoughtful and helpful
addresses we have heard in Denison.
1t would be worth a thousand dollars
of any ones money to receive instruc
tion from such a man for a single
year. We are not trying to say
S'nice things" about Prof. Steiner's S
address. For beauty of diction, for
breadth and delicacy of thought and
for strength of utterance the speech
of last evening set new standard for
the lecture platform of Denison.
Loretta Van Ness was responsible
for one of the most delightful numbers
on the program, giving piano solo,
Nevin's "Good Night.
Briefly and modestly Prof. E..
w. Fellows presented the class to
Mr.. Albert Helsley, President of the
school board and recommended the
members for graduation. Mr.. Helsley
made most pleasing, common sense
talk and then presented the beribboned
patrchments to the waiting class.
Tie greatest enthusiasm was arous-
ed when it was announced that a
special diploma was to be given Miss
Lillian Aebischer for her splendid
record of twelve years without a
hardness and without missing a re-
citation. Such faithtulness was worthy
its reward and the audience sounded
its approval most heartily. Again
did the applause assert itself when
the modest little lady received her
two diplomas.
An octette of High school girls
closed the program with very pleas
ing selection and then parents and
friends rushed to the stage to shower
congratulations upon the happy young
people.

and best young men.
He was trusted employee of the
American Express Co. and like many
another bright Northern boy the flat

him for victim. He had been i'll

it to the malaria of the South and

With the opera house beautifully
decorated with the class coors of
scarlet and white and crowded with
admiring friends, the Glass of 1906
made its debut to the world and said
"vale' to school and to teachers.
Throughout the week the young peo-
pie. have held the center of the stage,
and let it be said to their credit that
they have scored nothing but success
es. They have received a continuous
ovation and congratulations and rich
gifts have poured in on them from
every side.
The exercises on Thursday evening
marked the closing of their school life
with solemnity and beauty.
No fairer picture have we seen
than the stalwart sons and handsom:
daughters as they sat waiting to re-
ceive the well-earned diplomas.
The program of the evening opened
with splendidly rendered piano due,

carried it away in triumph to the head Of the
lake That ended bridge building there for a
week, and then, after lot of haggling and numer-
Gus meetings, the railway came to terms and
left draw one hundred and thirty-six feet wide
for RATS
The old day of rafting is gone now, and what few
floats the river are handled by steamboats,.
Yet, even SO, adventure is not lacking from the life
of the raftsmen The old freebooters of the river
have turned shanty- boaters, and lodged in every
eddy from Cairo to Memphis, await the coming of
stray logs which they bind together and float or
tow to Wolf River.
A lot of them lay moored in the Memphis eddy
the river rose one November not long ago
Brother Wood there well-known wrecker
who had successfully logged the last rise below
Pecan Point and had brought one hundred dollars
worth of logs. Clarence Clark there, and Billy
Martin Espanto, and the Fulers, Blake, and many
another famous riverman. Their boats lay in a row
along the willows the back of the flooded bar
above the city levee.
The Memphis eddy is a deceptive "crtter." In
such flood with the river it then was twenty
six feet above low water the revolving covered
a region nearly mile long and half mile wide
which turned slowly swiftly according to the wind
and current, and which, when the wind was from the

opposite shore, full of drifting logs and snags
They were all busy catching these, till there
day stormy that not one of them cared to ven
ture out: But in that day of days the captain of the
VERNE Mac came down around the Hen and Chickens
with big raft of gum logs ahead and essayed to
back them into Wolf River to the mills The
captains scheme common one, to begin
backing and fankng opposite the Hen, and divert
his tow into the eddy, thus checking its momentum.
Then, swinging round, he would back his steamer
into the slack water of Wolf River and pull the raft
in after him.
He entered the eddy easily; but it was working
too strong for him. 1t caught his tow, and swept
logs and steamer down upon the evee, crossed them
over to the willows and brought them back up to
Wolf River again. The captain was watching his
opportunity, and gave full-speed astern; but he
could not hold the logs. Again they started down
the eddy
By this time Shanty-boat Town was awake to
the opportunity. Every man Jack of them had got
out his coils of line, piled them in his skif, and
was waiting, oars in hand Clark and his partner
waited the steamers signal of defeat.
1t came soon enough. With sudden grum-
BILE. and churning, the eddy swerved, hesitated,
and split in two, directly under the raft Half
revolved one way, half the other, and in the

fastenings tore loose boards sPrang apart, and
under the impulse of eight-nile-an hour current
the second raft like the first, torn and shat
tered
But before that happened at the instant of con-
tact, Dwight's crew, their captain at their head
had sprung aboard their rival with heavy clubs in
hand. Maloneys were ready for them, and as
the RATS struck the rocks and splintered the two
crews mixed in horrible melee.
1t did not last long, In three minutes half the
crews aoundering in the water, and the rest
were drifting apart on small sections of timber
Good fellows ALL they turned their attention to
the rescue promptly, and hauled in most of their
mates; but Billy Dwight and Jack Maloney no man
hauled in. They had gone down locked together
in a last mad fight, and not till the high water had
begun to go down that summer were the bodies that
might have been theirs recovered.
Many thousands of feet of good lumber was lost in
that encounter, and many thousands more in other
wrecks and collisions When the railways began
to come in, their bridges the causes of many
disasters of than the old bridge at Rock
Island, which did so much damage that the Govern
ment finally ordered it removed Sometimes these
bridges led to hot encounters, at Hudson W1scon
sin, when a railway seeking a route to st Paul
endeavored to bridge St CroiX Lake, leaving

maelstrOm between the logs of the
VERNE Mac stood on end, tumbled
over each other and scattered in
all directions. The captain was
glad enough to get his vessel
out whole.
Clark and his partner were out
at the first sign In a moment
alo11g' came a big section of raft,
more than twenty gum logs, held
together by binders, and sur
rounded by tangle of stumps and
wreckage. His partner threw
Clark an end of his coil and shot
for the willows, with the rest pay
ing out behind him, and quickly
made the rope fast to a tree,
while Clark took a turn on the
binder with his end. Before
Shanty-boat Town had cleared
the eddy they had a good part of
the raft moored to their first
section, where they sold it next
day to the unfortunate captain
of the Vernie Mac.
The hardwood timber is the
lumberman' last resource. 1t
will not last much longer, and
then even the milder adventures
of such steamboat logging will
join those of the drifting rafters
in the golden memories of some
Huckleberry Finn.

She will never turn around and ask you why YOU

If you man and go to see play like Man

Bernard Shaw say so aloud. This gives the people
near you the benefit of your opinion If the mean
ing of the lines seem to you to be double, laugh and
slap your knee and dig your companion in the ribs
and wink at him. This will let everybody know
that you regular devil, and that you have been
about more than anyone would suspect from the
size of your mustache. You may also hiss lines
which displease you which will inform the breath

If you free liver and a consumer OF strong
waters, good place to go when you have got to the
stage where you feel chatty is to play where peo-
pie want to listen. This will enable you continue
the story which you began before you came in, to
larger and more helpless audience. In this stage
you may also sprawl over the people around you.
Stand Up for Your Rights
T WITNESSED a scene of this sort when three
young men were almost intoxicated. There
a rude person in front of them, who had tact
and no consideration; for he turned sharply to
these three and said that if they did not stop
disturbing him, he would report them at the
box-offce To which they made the spirited and
entirely proper reply that they had paid as much
money for their seats as he had for his and they
purposed to do as they jolly we'll wished So
the tactless person, being entirely unsupported by
any other of the sufferers nearby meekly subsidized
and the entire play spoiled for everybody near
on account of the theater manners of these three

gize to you for having been SO slow in permitting
you to pass out.
If you don't care to go out between acts, it will
diversity things if you will spend the interval by
kicking the seat in front of you especially if it is
occupied by woman. If you kick it often enough
and hard enough, all her hair pins will come out,
and you Will then be enabled to know how she does
Another good way to remind her of the time she
took the Swedish-1noVement cure is to grasp the
back of her chair firmly in your hand and shake it
vigorously This sometimes knocks her glasses off
Assist the Chorus
IF there is an opera glass or candy arrangement
the back of her chair, open it, then amuse
yourself by drawing the chain back and forth over
the metal rim of the box, and swapping the lid up
and down. 1t sounds nice.
If you like the music, sing whistle it with the
people on the stage. 1t shows that you have been
there before and able to spend the price of
ticket twice without feeling it.
If another is with you, guy the actors and
actresses. 1t shows that you familiar with the
profession. Somebody might suspect that
you were critic Besides, the actors only doing
their best. Why respect them?
If you don't understand what is passing the
plain it to you. 1t gives your neghbors exquisite
joy. Or, if you particularly enjoy the points, repeat
them aloud. 1t will sound like echo to those sit
ting near, and they will feel if they had been to
the play twice To be sure, they will have lost the
real continuity of the play; but they won't care;
they are good-natured.
If you woman, and don't care for the woman
in front of you, good way to let her know it is to
insert the toe of your shoe into her unprotected back
This not only shakes her chair but it cleans your
shoe on the back of her gown. Don't be afraid.

a narrow draw in the middle. The
raftsmen got a court injunction
against them; but the railway men
refused to obey it.
On the morning of July 7, 1871,
the steamboat and logmen awoke
to find the railway people driving
piles across the lake and leaving
a draw only ninety-eight feet
wide in the middle. Forthwith
a fleet of six steamers with two
hundred men was assembled at
the head of the lake and advanced
to the attack. The railway men
were ready for them.
While three of the steamers,
however, stood off the pile-drivers,
the other three, the Louisville,
Whitmore, and Brother Jonathan,
dashed together, bore down on
the piling at the draw opening. A
big hawser was uncoiled and made
fast to a pile. The three steamers
backed up nightly; the pile came
up. Back went the steamers for
the next one, and while the rail
way men looked on impotent to
prevent they hauled up eighty
piles and set them adrift And
while the railway men were at
supper they overpowered the small
guard left aboard the pile-driver,
captured that offending scow, and

ETIQUETTE OF THE THE ATER

A the theater the best society countenances late
~ arrivals. Even if you know you going
- to be late don't bother to get box. Just
crowd by people and take the places you have
to disturb the audience and upset the actors.
Besides, the management expects it to the extent
that they call the opening scene of the play the
Seat-slamming scene" That is why the most
capable playwrights open every play with the
chamber-maid busting. 1t doesn't make any differ
not.
If you have a sneezing or coughing cold so that
everybody at home wants to send you to a hospital
don't let the thought of disturbing some thousand
people, all of whom have paid for evening enter
tainment, keep you from going to the theater. You
may cough your head off; nobody will do any
thing.
Remember also that in buying your seat you buy
the right to make the people all around you i'll by
any strong perfume, scent, or odor YOU may choose
to saturate yourself with before starting Beesteak
and fried onions particularly grateful to the
woman in front of you, and if you partial to
musk your handkerchief, use plenty of it. 1t is
no harder to die two deaths than one
Always Go Out Between Acts
RETWEEN the acts always go out and take smoke
worse; especially if you sitting well in the
middle OF the house, and there several women
between you and the aisle. 1t is bother at all
for woman to unpin her hat from the back of the
seat IN 'front.' to draw back her wrap, gather her
program her operas glasses, and handkerchief in the
other hand, stand up push up the seat of her chair
and let you crowd past Perhaps sitting still makes
her nervous and she likes the exercise. No words
OF apology necessary. Simply stand with gen
tlemanly patience writ on your countenance, and
she viii feel that she has kept you standing and
prisoner an unnecessary length of time. If YOU
look at her with the proper expression of grim
torbearance on your face perhaps she may apollo
