A Costly Fad.

Royalty comes high, but they
insist upon havingit over IN Eu-
rope, regardless of the expense.
Spain, for example, is one OF the
poorest of European nations, and
is hopelessly in debt, and yet she
allows her young king $780, ,535
annually for hs keep, to say
nothing of the castles he has TO
live In rent free. OF that sum the
king himself gets 1921, ,658, or
sixteen times as much as we give
President Taft. His wife, the
Queen, gets $77, ,892, and the two
year-old son of the royal pair,
who Is also heir to the throne, Is
allowed $S6,547. The aunts of
the King, three In number. re-
ceive from $4,000 TO $4,000.
Considering the sorry lot the
Spanish rulers have been for the
past half century, 1t seems to us
as II the Spanish people were pay
ing pretty dearly for their fad.

HIGH SCHOOL

Class Of '09 Gave Play in Auditorium In.
stead Of the Usual Literary
Exercises.
LARGE AUDIENCE IN ATTENDANCE.

The graduating class in the
McConnellsburg High School,
this year, instead of the "regula-
tion literary exercises, at Com.
mencement, gave play entitled
''Those Dreadful Twins" to a
large assem- bly, in the Auditorium
of the Public School building, last
Thursday evening.
The address of the valedlctor.
ian, Miss Nora Watson, was de
llvered IN excellent style, and
showed careful preparation, and
that the young lady possessed
more than ordinary natural ablll.
lty. Miss Watson is a young
colored girl of the Booker Wash.
ington type, and is a daughter OF
Barber Isaac N. Watson, and a
granddaughter of Henry Cau-
ton of Mercersburg. We pre-
dict for her a life of usefulness IN
the education and moral advance.
ment of her race.
The class nun bered twelve
ten of whom composed the cast
OF characters in the play. The
names of the graduates are Err.
skine Houston, Maria Dickson
Alexander, Russell Mock, Daisy
Kelly, George Morton, Josephine
Runyan, John Mentzer, Murine
Rummel, Rex Irwin, George Mel
son, Robert Alexander, and Nora
Watson.
The play was of the hghtest
comedy class, and in character
fell much below the standard OF
the plays of former years. There
were few situations in which any
player could have appeared to ad'
vantage-no plot to unravel-no
pleasing finale. There was toe
much trough house"-too many
characters who essayed the roll
of "drunks," and too little oppor-
tunlty to display the skill and
ability of the bright boys and
girls of the cast, who would have
appeared to far greater advan-
tage in regular Commencement
program, or in play that stands
first in Its moral and educational
influence upon character.

MOTHERS DAY.
Appropriate Services Last Sunday All
Over the Land 10 Honor of Pure
Motherhood.

All over this broad land, last
Sunday was observed as Moth
ers' Day, although the idea of
setting apart one Sabbath IN each
year for the purpose of develop
ing a keener sense of maternal
affection, is less than four years
old. Pastors took as a theme for
their sermons the thought Of the
beauty and glory of motherhood;
and thousands showed their sen.
tlment by wearing white flowers,
mainly carnations. In McCon.
nellsburg, scores of boys and
glrls-as well as those grown
tall-proudly wore the fragran,
flower IN token of the dignity
grace and sacredness of mother.
hood.
At the Methodist Episcopal
church, a large congregation lis.
tened to a sermon by Rev. Bry.
ner whose theme was The Mod
ell Mother. The Epworth h
League, with appropriate music,
also paid high tribute to mother
love and constancy-each mem
ber wearing the em blem of pur
ity in honor of her who loves hin
best of all.
In the Lutheran church, a white
carnation was presented by thu
Sunday school to each mother
and to each OF the young ladies'.
The floral decorations IN all tn,
churches were particularly fine
and a general recognition of th'
day was observed, even though
the service had not been especi
ally designed for Mothers Day.
