ard father of Harry W. Martin of the
Inland Transfer company. suffered a
severe stroke of paralysis at the Wal

Mir Martin was engaged in game of
billiards with some friends when he
complained of it being too warm in the
room. He stepped into the hall, clos
ing the door behind him as he went
out of the billiard room.
The others engaged in the game went
on playing, paying no attention to Mr.
Martins absence and it was not until

club. found him lying in the hall in an
almost unconscious state. He was i'm

With the sophomore play but three
DAYS off. everything is practically in
readiness for its presentation, and
among the students speculation is al
ready rife as to whether "A Gilded
Fool" will be up to the standard set by
former plays. The prevailing opinion
is that it will be. because it is doubt
full if in previous years such a strong
well balanced cast has ever been chosen
TO represent a sophomore class behind
the footlghts.
The play is one written by Henry
Guy Carleton, for Nat Goodwin. 1t
portrays the life of "Chauncey Short,
young spendthrift American, who
uron inheritng a vast income from his
deceased uncle, Immediately proceeds
to rid himself of his newly acquired
wealth: In the midst of this new life
of e8se, Dan Cupids arrow pierces him
in the parsonage of Margaret Ruth
vcn." and slowly he is transformed
through his love for her, from a worth
less "spender" to shrewd business
man.
The part of "Chauncey Short" 5
played by Edwin K. Baines, better
known in college circles as Ned
Miss Laura Libbey plays the part of
Margaret Ruthven," shorts sweet
hea, with such delightful grace that
one would almost say she shows eX-
perience."
The other characters are also strong
and so one and all may go to the Key

sang before. Her voice, naturally
musical, completely held the large
crowd spellbound while she sang

ability to handle her voice, and much
to her credit she gained as much ap-

Then Miss Rhoda Anderson, the ex-

loudly acclaimed everywhere. She is
