THE STATE DECLAMATORY CON-
TEST.

Nearly 600 people witnessed the first
state declamatory contest Friday night
that has ever been held outside of Mad
ison, The excellent support of the con-
test by the Wausau people made it pos
sible for the management to pay the ex-
penses of both the judges and contest
ants. Before this year the contestants
had to pay all their own expenses.
The contest was won by Florence
Flynn, of Superior, who represented
the Superior district. She spoke the
piece ''Hager' which is an old bible
story. She won the contest by two
things, first by her piece which suited
her style of declaiming exactly and sec
ond by her excellent voice.
Second place was won by Elizabeth
Plantz, of Wausau, who represented
the Stevens Point district Miss Plantz
was very close second and the way
that she spoke her piece MADAME But
terfy' deserves a good deal OF praise.
The contest being Friday night placed
Miss Plantz at disadvantage as she
had just been through an exhausting
commencement week.
A boy from Appleton, representing
the Oshkosh district, Archie De Land,
took third place. His piece was
Gentlemen, the King" and the way he
spoke did credit to his school.

ACT MANLY.

Don't be q knocker.
 Don't expect to build yourself up by tearing others down.
 Don't get exercised when you come in contact with man of enterprise, and
 man who does things.
 Don't presume that the world is i'm. becilic and that you were sent here as protector to the addle-patod.
 Attend to your own business
 Boost your own town.
 Don't let the successes of others de- ter you from making success of your. self.
 In other words, bo a.
 MAN.
 A manly, brave man with a mind big enough to think before you act, and with heart generous enough to give to others all the credit they are en- titled to and the benefit of every req. sonable doubt.
 If you are eternally running about sticking your long proboscis in the affairs of other people, your one great achievement will be the hatred of all, and the southern suburbs of your trou. sers will soon show the devastating eff. fleets of sliding down an unplaned eel lar door.
 Brace up.
 If you can t boost don t knock.

JUST WHAT YOU MAKE IT.

Globe is going to be just what the people make of it.
 The resources of the city and it's en- virons warrant the building here of one of the greatest and most important cities in tho southwest and the great est mining metropolis in tho world.
 The pessimlstie-the ultra'conserva- tive will admit this fact.
 The greatest knocker in the city knows that very important city can be builded here, but he isn't content to let the other fellow do the work. He wants to get in and "help" out with his hammer.
 And these hammers are the one great obstacle in the pathway of our progress.
 Knock, knock, knock.
 A regular maudlin medley of dis eordant sourds.
 Its the applause that man receives if he has achieved success or is on the
 
 road to success
 Just a little knock and then chorus of knocks.
 It takes on the form of an epidemic, growing in intensity witt each recurring echo.
 So, if we, as a city, arc going to sue ceed we've got to do little knocking in the first act of this drama of city building-we'v got to knock the knocker, and that won't be much of job if you and I and all of us appoint ourselves a committee of one to see that there is no further knocking in GlObe.
 You see the point?
 You readily grasp the logic of this not uncommon situation.
 If wo re going to knock out the knocker we 've all got to enlist in this grand work. If there is one man who sulks the job will not be complete. And while We are all working in this great army of righteous knoeker knockout the city will make wonderful progress.
 There will be nothing to stay it's progress.
 When. Jones gets a deal on for his mine it will go through.
 When Smith finds buyer for his house on tho hill the big place will be sold
 When Brown is negotiating a scheme for the building of big business block in a district where it is badly needed, the saw and the hammer and the music of the trowel will be about all the noise you will here.
 Globe will then come in to that which is rightfully hers.
 A magnificent city will be builded here. -
 There will be plenty of money for the development of mines.
 And the poor prospector who has un- covered promised riches on a three or four year diet of beans, bacon ,and SOW belly will soar skyward to the ranks of the plutocrat, and even the hammer wei.der may strike something that will put him in the clear.

About a Lexington Girl

The following extract from the, Jes-
samine Journal, Nicholasville2 Ken,
lucky, dated November 13, will prove
Interesting to the many friends of
Miss Susan Yates of this city:
The most enjoyable event Of the
season was the dramatic recital Civ
enlby Miss Susan Yates, the teacher
oflexpression at Jessamine Institute,
Monday evening. BY her work of
ofilast year Miss Yates had won a
warm place in the hearts Of Nichol-
asville people, as was shown by the
large, cultured and appreciative au-
dience which welcomed her on this
evening and the hearty applause
which she elected proves that she
has added new laurels to her score.
Her name has come to be the synon-
YIN of pleasure and success. Her work
is versatile, and it is difficult to say
in which style she is best. Her mon
ologues show the cleverness and skill
of a talented act ress. She is easy and
graceful and entirely forgetful of self.
She was especially fine in her dialect
numbers and her impersonation OF
child life is inimitable. Probably it Is
the more serious numbers that suit
her best. The two lyrics, "If l we're
King and 'Jest Wearyin' for You, -
though so entirely different we're
read in most beautiful manner that
showed the depth of feeling aud soul
beneath the work. The most ambiti-
GUS number was a scene from "The
Christian" by Hall Cain. Miss Yates
possesses a SPLENDID gift of interpre-
tation and knows the art of holding
the sympathies of her audience. In
this number she showed her deep e.
motional power 1t was magnificent
scene, thrilling and intense in its eli
max and she held the breathless in
terest of the audience to the close.
She possesses most charming stage
presence and a gentle grace and dig
nifty of manner that appeals to her
audience. Her work is entirely free
from any affectation or mannerisms
and she loses herself entirely in the
character she presents, She gave by
request one Of her monologues she
gave last year. Miss Yates Is to be
congratulated upon the success she

Blood and thunder, Powder and Smoke.

blOOd an0 thunder, Powder and Smoke.
The lovers of the powder-smelllng
melodrama, the real stuff and no mis-
take, were given their fill Wednes-
day evening at the New Grand, when
a company of Mexicans and senoritos,
cattle-thieves and cowpunchers,
blacklegs and blackbears bore down
upon this peaceful community and
and aroused memories of frontier
life by presenting a hair-raising,
blood-curdling, ammunition wasting
sham battle in disguise entitled "a
Cowpuucher." There was no cessa-
tion of hostilieties from curtain to
curtain, seven people were slain in
cold blood, nine bad actors we're
hanged from cactus bush, six he
roes were united in wedlock, nine
mem bers we're powder burnt and sew
eral tons Of bulletless ammunition
was shot az the scene shifters in the
loft. And.when the smoke cleared
away
The company was fairly capable.
The play was the real thing in the
way of melodrama and thunderous
applauseI frequently rumbled from
the gallery. Tue scenery was
special and picturesque and the guns
were well cleaned and unerring in
aim. The company was large, con-
sisting of twelve members. In the
cast Curtis Benton in the role Of the
cruel Mexican, Carlos Mendoza,
shone out the most brilliantly. The
leading man, FredsSiegel was good
looking and his clothes fit well.
The female roles were all well taken.
Miss Bess Dunlap as Geraldine Gra-
ham was pretty and coquettish.
Miss Barbara Swanger was strong as
Lutchie Cordova while the subrette,
Slattery Ann, alias Miss verna May,
scored the hit of the evening.
