When Mr. Taft visited Fitchburg last

Is Milton Read?

(From the New York Evening Post0
1t would be curious to inquire into
the real meaning of our celebration OF
lish speaking world men are meeting
to do him homage. Lectures are read
about him. essays printed, his "Comus''
is acted, the early editions of his books
and other relics are exhibited. 1t is
clear that his name is a great sound
among the people. But, apart from
public ceremonies, how much is Mil
ton actually enjoyed today, not gener-
ally, for no great poet can be exactly
popular, but by the scholars and pro-
fessors of culture who ard proclaim
ing his honor? How many of them, ii
pressed, would say, as DR.. Johnson
avowed that, I'VE read Milton for in
struction, retire llarassed and over
burdened, and look elsewhere for re-
creation: we desert our master and
seek for companions?" Or. to take a
modern instance. how many of them IN
their hearts would agree with the dis
tinguished professor of English liter
allure who not long ago wrote that no
one nowadays would read Paradise
Lost for pleasure?" It is a fair sus-
picion that one might open the poet
works in many well used library
without finding the owners favorite
passages marked, as they We're IN
Lambs copy, with a "soiled crumb OF
right Gloucester or. peradventure'
a stray ash of tobacco"

tations at noon on Wednesday, to per-
NIT the students to return to their

weeks The school is unusually full
this winter, and excellent work is re-
ported from each department. 1t has
been necessary since the opening Of the
winter term, to increase the seating
capacity of the advanced division in
the .training school, because of the size
of the graduating class for this year
which is unusually large. There is also
an increase in the numbers Of pupils
attending the training school. Another
room teacher has been employed tc
meet these demands, Miss Jennie M
Sanders, of Manly.
One of the greatest musical treats
ever enjoyed in this city was that OF
Friday evening in the normal audi
forum, when Miss Maud Powell, vio-
linist, and two star performers on the
piano and cello, gave a program. This
WAS their only stop between Colorado
Springs and New York, and was
brought about, because of old time
friendship between Miss Maud Powell
and Prof s. w. Merrill. There were
visitors here from Cedar Rapids, lowe

otheu towns. The committee met the
expense of $1,000, for the entertain

to find their dog barking loudly and
Juggling at the bedclothes. At first no
attention was paid to him, but the an

jumped on the bed. Whiffs of smoke
and heat then warned the Cohens of
their peril and they succeeded with
difficulty in making their escape.

Our French.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay, at a dinner al
Harbor Hill, her Long Island residence
complained of the American Ignorance
of foreign tongues.

abroad-and we all. sooner or later

abroad to be unable to speak French OF

"Our French here in America is sc

MRS. HAMS DISAPPEARS.
Believed to Have Gone to New York
to Attend Trial.

Believed to Have Gone to New York
to Attend Trial.
Boston, Dec. 21.-Mrs. Claudia Libby
Hams has vanished. Where she has
gone and why she has gone is known
only to few personal friends, and
they won't tell.
While announcing her intention not
to attend the trial of her husband or
that of his brother, T. jenkins Hams,
she has declared frequently that if she
were summoned to New York by Dis
trict Attorney Darrin, she would re-
spond at once.
The single deduction as to her
strange absence from Boston is that
she has been called to New York, If
not to take the witness stand against
T. Jenkins Hams, at least to give the
benefit of conference with the prose-
cution.
When Mrs. Hains left her parents
home she carried suit case. She was
accompanied by a strange man.

rRAER WINS OVER DYsART.
High School Debating Teams Meet at
Oysart,


Traer, Dec. 21.-The senior debate
between the senior classes of the Iraer
and Dysart high schools was held at
Dysart. The Traer team, consisting OF
Dale Welton, Clarence Howard and
Ruth Powell, were accompanied by LOU
loyal Traerites, the large number MAX
ing it necessary for the Rock Island to
place q special car at their disposal.
If there ever was a more enthusiastic
bunch of high school students than
those who accompanied the team on
the trip, it has never been the writer's
good fortune to see them. The high
school band furnished instrumental
music for the trip and dispensed some
of it's finest selections for the enter
tainment.
While Dysart lost the contest, her
debaters made a game fight, the eff
forts of each and all of the debaters
being praise worthy from first to last
The Dysart team was outclassed in
point of presentation, the work of the
Traer team in this being especially
strong.

The Has Beens.

A most conspicuous part of the pro-
cession was wagon driven by a
dilapidated pair Of horses, conveying
band Of the old "Has Beens," the
first fire fighters of the city, who in
their day were as efficient with their
limited facilities as those of the pres
ent day. Some Of of these it was
who in 1902, beat the worlds rec
ord for the hose race and coupling
contest and won the Trophy cart Of
which Mandanites are so proud.
