1t is presumed the girls are getting in
shape for next year.
The Seniors had a class meeting
Tuesday evening. They say everything
went off very smoothly.
The Juniors ought to known how to

mems number do not.
For once, dead silence reigned in No.

lady shipped in their midst.
The normal class are training their
memory by committing one long poem
and short one or two each week.
The German class are enjoying them
selves immensely these days. For par

In chapel Tuesday morning Miss Bel

instructor to write some poetry, reeled of
some stuff" which the instructor said
was much better than that which had
appeared in the Medicine Lodge papers
composed by the students. Now we do
not claim to be poets nor yet even sons or
daughters of poets, but if we accidentally
stumble upon a rhyme we are not
ashamed to have it published. Again
we say we have no poetical geniuses IN
our school but # Kiowa has us so far
beaten we would like to see some Of her
poetry.

delightful piece of acting, and those
who see her will go away wishing they
had an Aunt Mary just like her. To
see her is to love her. SO delightfully."-
sweet is her acting of this New Eng
land aunt.
"The Regeneration of Aunt Mary is
in three acts. The first and last take
place in Aunt Mary's home in the
country, and the second is laid in New
York city. The story of the play con-
Germs a maiden aunt who lives in the
country and cares nothing for the city.
She has nephew who is attending col
lege in New York. and being wild
young man, gets into all kinds of
scrapes, which Aunt Mary is compelled
to get him out of. He gets into fight
with a cabman and beats him up badly,
and to get out Of 1t he comes to his
aunt for $500. in the meantime he is
expelled from college. Aunt Mary
agrees to pay the $500 and send him to
some other college if he will be bet
ter boy. When everything begins 10
look rosy again for the nephew. Aunt
Mary's lawyer arrives and informs her
that the girl from Kalamazoo, whom
Jack met in Chicago, is suing for $780,
600, breach of promise. This is too
much for Aunt Mary; she will have
nothing to do with Jack, and disowns
him and calls her lawyer to make an
other will.
Jack goes back to the city to live
with his chum, Bob. He falls in love
with Bob's sister, Betty, who really
loves him, but will have nothing to do
with him until he mends his ways. 1t
being Betty's birthday, the boys decide
to give her a party, and are making
preparations, when a telegram comes
saying Aunt Mary is on her way to the
city The boys rush off to meet her,
but miss the train, so Aunt Mary ar
rives quite alone She Is taken care
of by Betty, who has sent her maid
away. When the boys arrive Aunt
Mary is introduced all around, and
then Jack finds out that some one has
written his aunt telling her he had the
measles. Jack explains that the party
is given in her honor. After the sup
per the boys take Aunt Mary for an
ride. She likes it so well
that she decides to stay in New York
for three weeks.
Aunt Mary finally returns to the
country, but can't stand the quiet of
the place, so sends for Betty. When
she arrives Aunt Marys asks her If she
smokes cigarets, as she is just dying to
smell one. She wants to be taught how
to play poker, also. Jack comes down
to see his aunt, and explains every
thing, also his love for Betty. Every
thing is forgiven, and Aunt Mary goes
back to the city to live. In selecting
the company, Mr.. Sire, her manager,
has given Miss Robson able support.

issuing the call for this meeting, he
said, are members of the Union
League club of Chicago, who never
reformed anything in their lives and
are not likely to. They totally mis-
understand the course of events or
they would not harbor the. delusion
that the world or the state OF Illi-
