HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
Class Play Tonight and Graduating Exer
cises Tomorrow Nigh. at the Grand
Opera House.

The annual commencement exercises
of the high school will be held at the
Grand opera house this Wednesday
and Thursday evenings The class
play which will be given this
evening is Fanchon the Cricket, .
a domestic drama taken from the we'll
known story by George Sand The
scenes are taken from French peasant
life and the story possesses an in
tense dramatic interest that is keenly
aroused at the rise of the curtain and
deepens with each succeeding act.
The play requires sixteen characters
and therefore every member of the
class takes good part. The leading
characters are splendid types of sturdy
French peasants. Fanchon has a fine
soubrette part, and Fadet (the old
WITCH plays part that shows what
a strong hold superstition had ON the
people of France. The play abounds
in fine situations and is always a
great success
The graduating exercises will take
place on Thursday evening. The
Commencement address will be given
by Rev. Dr. H. G. Swearingen, pastor
of the House of Hope Church, st.
Paul. DR.. Swearingen is one of the
leading orators of the Twin Cities,
and no doubt his address "Opportuni-
ties of the New Century will be a
lecture of unusual interest.
Reserved seats for the play will be
on sale Wednesday morning, May
Goth. Admission for both evenings,
so cents.

graduating class:

CHAPTER xxI.-Contlnued
Good! but this is just wall here
earth with a layer OF bricks and thin
coat of cement. A nice job 1t must
have been to do the work.-and It cost
the price of a tiger hunt" I grumbled.
Take heart, lad, and listen," and
Larry began pounding the wall with a
hammer. exactly under the north
gatepost. We had sounded everything
in and about the house until the pro-
cess bored me.
Hurry up and get through with It,"
] jerked impatiently, holding the Ian
tern at the level of his head. 1t was
sharply cold under the posts and
was anxious to prove the worthless
ness OF his idea and be done.
Thump! thump!
There's place here that sounds a
tride on the key. You try it."
/ snatched the hammer and repeated
his soundings.
Thump! thump!
There was space about four feet
square in the wall that certainly gave
forth hollow sound.
"Stand back!" exclaimed Larry Gag
erly. Here goes with the AK"
He struck into the wall sharply and
the cement chipped off in rough pieces,
disclosing bricks beneath. Larry
paused when he had uncovered a foot
of the inner layer. and examined the
surface
They're loose-these bricks are
loose. and there's something beside
earth behind themi"
The bricks were get up without NOR
tar, and l plucked them out and raped
with my knuclsles on wooden sur
face.
Even Larry grew excited as we flung
the bricks out into the tunnel.
"Ah, lad" he said, "the old gentle
imam had a way with him--he had
way with hint" A brick dropped on
his foot and he howled in pain.
BLESS the old gentleman's heart!
He made 1t as easy for us as he could.
Now. for the Glenarm mllions,-red
money all piled up for the ease of
counting it,-a thousand pounds in
every pile"
Don't be a fool, Larry" / coughed
at him, for the brick dust and the
ismoke of Larry's pipe made breathing
difficult.
That's all the loose bricks,-bring
the lantern closer."-and we peered
through the aperture upon wooden
door, in which strips of iron were deep
set 1t was fastened with paddock
and Larry reached down for the ak.
"Wait!" 1 called, drawing closer
with the lantern. Whats this?"
The wood of the door was fresh and
white, but burned deep on the surface,

oEoRCMS sAY RoU7ElaLAcK L,HEj COMPARED WITH THE
ROU7E VIA THE ERIE CANAL fOOT7ED LIvEl

When the Georgian Bay canal is
completed, he predicted that grain
would be carried between Chicago or
Duluth and deep water at Montreal for
21z cents a bushel, and refrigerator
ships drawing 19 or 20 feet of water
could load direct from the packing
houses at Chicago and sail to any port
in the world during the season of open
water of about 200 days. The st.
Lawrence is open when the lakes are
open.
1t is thought that the plans pro-
posed by the Canadian commission
will enable powerful whaleback steam.
ers, $50 to 300 feet long, to carry in
their holds and in towed barges about
10000 tons of cargo at an average
speed of about IL miles an hour. and
that the time between Chicago and
Montreal will be about 103 hours. The
time between Chicago and New York
by the lakes and improved Erie canal
route is estimated at 1913 hours. The
distance between Montreal and Lon
don is 2,S2O miles and between New
York and London, 3,130 miles.
1t is expected that the new canal
will have a wonderful influence upon
the development of the Ottawa river.
1t is estimated that with the compile
ton of the canal the water power
available along the river will be al
most as great as that of Niagara, and
for electrical purposes it will be far
superior to Niagara. because the pow
er at those falls is confined to a radius
of about so miles, while the Ottawa
river affords water power along 400
miles at convenient distances. With
so much cheap power available and
with its great resources of iron ore
and timber the Ottawa valley is ex-
pected to develop into one of the great
manufacturing centers of the con-
tinent.
The map printed here shows at
glance how much shorter the proposed
new route from Chicago and Duluth to
the Atlantic is than the present routes
through the lakes and the Erie canal
to New York

Snake Killing Kitten.

George Fornwald, substitute mail
carrier. Bloomsbury, owns q cat which.
strange to say. will not catch a mouse.
but spends its time in the yards hunt
ing for garter snakes.
The cat so far this season has
caught three snakes and brought them
to the house. and after laying snake
down on the porch it goes back again
in the yard to hunt for more. Two of
the snakes the cat has caught were
captured in one day, while the other
was caught a day later. These three
are the only ones Mr.. Fornwald has
seen, yet some of the neighbors say
they often see the cat with snake
in its mouth.
Whether or not the animal would
tackle anything larger than garter
snake is hard to tell. yet from the
fight it puts up when it gets hold of
one of these smaller species it is evil
dent that it would probably be able
to get away with a larger one. The
snake-killing cat is not very large and
is still nothing more than kitten
