NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM HIGH SCHOOL
KATIE S. ALLEN, Reporter.

The Seniors have greatly missed
Clara Milner-tflis week as she has
been absent all week on account Of
Illness. We hope she will soon recov-
or.
The High School regrets to learn
that Miss Willie Ray was called home
on account of her mothers illness.
Mr.. Woodley has been missed from
the High School this week. We learn
ed today that he was i'll.
A little tempest in teapot" was
raised today when Mr.. NJ announced
to the Seniors that at the end of Bird
term they would be examined on the
whole years work. AS there is to be
an examination next week the SEN
iors thought 1t was too much to go
over the ground again. Therefore the
tempest.
The Sophomores, Juniors and Sen
iors are proud of one of the H. s.
girls, Josie F. who has a remarkable
talent for drawing. She does not
have to stop to reason the distance
with her pencil, but sketches away
with the greatest ease, views of the
students in different attitudes on the
campus or in any style you wish.
= = I:
The High School girls are lost this
week for they have not been able to
play basketball or tennis. You see,
last Sunday in the severe wind and
rain storm, the posts were blown
down and the goals badly bent. New
eltheless, William F. took them down
to the shop to have them Strengthened
SO by next week passers by will see
the same jolly set of girls playing
basketball once more. Then about
tents. the posts which hold the net
are still standing but it has rained
continually SO that the court has been
too wet for them to play.
The Seniors have been busy this
week racking their brains so as to
find few thoughts to put into a theme
of three hundred words that was to be
handed in Friday, 1.-THE Books We
Read" was the title and from reports
the Seniors mastered the subject very
creditably.
Mrs. Watkins, wife of Rev. A. F
Wstkins, was a visitor to Mrs. Schu-
makers room Friday afternoon.
= + ::
| The public meeting of the Lamar
Literary Society which was to have
been held in the Assembly Hall LAT
Thursday was postponed until next
Thursday on account of some of the
boys being Ill.
Did you ask why the Seniors were
so late getting out of school Friday
afternoon? Ask Miss Morris. she will
! tell you.

New National.

The delightful comic opera, THE High
wayman." by Harry B. Smith and Regi-
nald De Koven, will afford another
weeks enjoyment for the patrons of the
Aborn Opera Company at the New Ma
tional Theater. with eight performances,
starting Monday night 1t was with this
opera that Smith and De koven con-
tinued TIE fame earned with Robin
Hood" These two works are generally
considered the best the two collaborators
have turned out While the books. char
acters. score and many bright musical
gems of the operas are different and
individually original. still there is a SINH
larity between them-a sort of De koven
and Smith kinship that has made them
both successful. Smiths capacity for
evolving plots and counterplots, compli-
cations and comedy situations witty and
sparkling repartee and humor of the bet
ter sort was never better displayed than
In 1.-The Highwayman.' De koven's
music is always catchy and beautiful
and this opera abounds with his charm
ing melodies. Most of the singers and
comedians heard and seen during the
past two weeks will be in evidence in
the cast The stellar role. Lady Con-
stance Sinclair, in which Camille D'Ar-
vile won her greatest success, will be
assigned to Helen Bertram. The equally
prominent role of Capt Scarlet. the
hiShwayman, will be portrayed by For
rest Huff. Foxy Quiller one of the
most original and unique comic opera
personalities ever invented, will be rep
PRESENTED by William Herman West. John
Phillips will be seen and heard as Lieut..
Lovelace: Howard Chambers as Sir God
frey Beverley; FRITZ Won Busing as Lady
Pamela: Eugene Francis as Capt. Rod
ney; Sabery DOrsell as Doll Primrose;
Sol Solomon as Toby Wrinkle: j. s. Dom
nelly as Jack Middleton Merriam Cordes
as Mrs. Jarvey, and Charles w. Phillips
as the tavern keeper.

ind modern stagecraft has been satisfied,
too, for The Witching Hour besides
teaching a great lesson and divulging the
secrets of a strange philosophy. has all
the features of great play.
Its story is now too we'll known to need
repetition. but Mr.. Thomas views on the
reason for the play are interesting On
being asked if there was any lesson to be
derived from the drama he is said to have
replied: Il have endeavored to enunciate
in dramatic form my belief that thought
is dynamic force-that is to say. that
the vigorous thought of one man. q
thought born of strong desire, is capable
of inpresSing itself upon another or upon
others and inducing in them the same
state of mind as that Of the first thinker.
l have also endeavored to set forth the
logical deduction from this that il a
mans thought is capable of projecting
itself sufficiently to influence the minds
of others he is responsible for the charac-
ter of his thought. In the first act of
THE Witching Hour l make a state
ment that thought is a dynamic force.
In the two succeeding acts I endeavor to
illustrate this. And the fourth act is de-
voted to the deduction, which l call log
ical. from the above PREMISE
Mr.. Mason WILL of course, be seen In
his original part of Brookfield, the hyp-
motto gambler, and the supporting COM
pany will be the original Hackett The

Berger are confident that as Mary Ann,
in Israel Zangwili's beautiful and touch
ing comedy, which will be the at
traction at the Columbia this week. she
will astOnish even her most ardent ad-
mirers. During the short time Miss Dean
has been in this city her work has en-
couraged her managers to provide for her
the best parts in plays made notable by
foremost stars. and in every instance the
criticisms of both press and public have
been most favorable. Merely Mary
Ann for some years past has been the
one play which the public would not per-
init Eleanor Robson to shelve. The CO.
lumbia players have only been able to
secure it at the present time because Miss
Robson is under contract to produce an
other piece next season. The play will
be staged by Frederick A. Thomson with
that aim for artistic results that marked
his work as stage director with Richard
Mansfield. Three complete sets of scenery
have been painted by George Rex Wilson,
and appropriate properties have been Sc
cured to complete the stage settings.
Alexander Calvert has an agreeable part
in that of Launcelot, the composer, while
Thomas ChattertOn. as Peter. will have
a far better role than in THE Little Min
ister." Alexander Frank will double in the
parts of Herr Brahmson, the music pub
Usher, and Rev. Samuel Smedge. Harriet
Ross makes her first appearance as Caro-
line, Countess of Roxwell, and in Rosa, the
daughter of the clearinghouse keeper,

Old-Time Smuggling.
the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
The recent discovery of Partisan dresses
that have been smuggled into the United
States free of duty takes Us back to the
DAYS when Free Trader" was the name
given to smugglers in England. as well as
to those statesmen who tried to make
smuggling unnecessary. One remembers
the story of the dog that used to accom-
pany it's owner on his journeys to Paris.
and was observed to start always a thin
dog and to return a plump dog, until
examination proved him to possess a
counterfeit skin. beneath which lace could
be concealed Or the story Of Huskisson,
the free trader. who. pulling a bandana
handkerchief from his pocket. amid the
roars of the house, remarked that, al
though every one knew bandana hand
kerchiefs were excisable, II have no doubt
there is hardly a gentleman In the house
who has not got bandana handker-
chief
Smuggling could not, humanity speak
ing be condemned when the revenue laws
had reached the number of one thousand
five hundred when everything, from hair
powder to windows. was an excisable ar
ticle, when salt was so eXorbitantly taxed
that il became profitable article of mer-
chandise And one sympathizes with the
old lady who, on being told that her
farthing dip was now three farthngs on
account of the war, exclaimed "'Od rot
'em. Do they fight by candlelight?"

world, seeks retirement from her cares in
the same place. Here she meets Mar
cissus. Prince Of Flowerland, and love
match results. The Rose Queen Of
Flowers, talks of love and duty, and
through this message of the Red Rose
Marguerite learns that to fill well the
station allotted to mortals by Providence
is to be happy always. They decide from
then on to dwell in the land of flowers.
In the Interpretation of this little tale
Miss Shreve will introduce more than lUO
of her dancers and juvenile players. Tn
der the direction of George Thompson
the little tots will give a performance that
promises to be one Of beauty and gor-
9eouSneSS.
Tickets for the May carnival will be
