pIOmas Tonight

The annual dinner OF the Alumni asso-
citation of the Omaha Theological seminary,
one OF the functions Of graduation week
each year, was given Tuesday night in the
assembly room at the Young Mems Chris
tian association. The attendance was large
and the interest very active.
Rev. L. c. McEwen of Kearney was the
toastmasCer, and a clever one. too. The
first speaker was Prof. Walter y. Halsey,
member of the seminary faculty, who
dealt with the western seminary. showing
how it was a preparatory school for the
young minister whose work was to lie in
the west.
Rev. d. r. Leland, student pastor at the
University of Nebraska, described the mis-
sion and character Of his work, a de-
parture which this church had taken up
in 1898. and is now carrying on in many
Of the large universities with great results.
Warren SwtzIeI attorney presented the
pews view of the pulpit, very deftly and
adroitly paving the way to his criticisms
of the clergy with the assurance that he
entertained the utmost respect and admir-
alton for the men of the cloth. Mr. Swift
lers speech was voted as s'hitting the
bulls eye" and was applauded loud and
long He urged the minister TO preach
the gospel and let fads alone and always to
be prepared thoroughly and carefully, be-
fore he attempted TO preach. But his
chief message to the clergymen was tc
concentrate their efforts aud not scatter
their fire.
Il believe the pastor who attends to the
work of his own church and flock will
have all and more than he can do and vii
not have time to dabble in everything else
and II every pastor will do this he won
have TO dabb!e in other things, for tn,
churches will become forces themselves.

handed TO Edgar Selwyn when he was
living at a little boarding house on
Fifty first street, New York. At this
time he had not made his hit as Tony
in AriZona,' nor had he written a
play that brought four-hgure checks
weekly from managers offices in return
for royalties, nor had he been elevated
to stardom. One day in this little typl-
cal New York boarding house something
happened that seemingly soon after was
forgotten. Ten years passed when he
was called upon to contribute a one,
act sketch to a Lambs Gambol, and
this incident was resurrected from its
lodgment and made into a sketch that
turned out to be one of the biggest
successes ever produced at one of these
events. There were four characters In
the one-act sketch-a chorus girl,
newspaper man, landlady and coun'
try boy-played respectively by Joseph
Tuohy, Frank Sheridan, John DAILY
Murphy and Donald Brian. Henry B,
Harris, who is also a Lamb, witnessed
this gambol, and Immediately after the
performance suggested TO Selwyn that
he elaborate his sketch and make it into
play. Mr.. Selwyn agreed and i'm
mediately set to work. Now the play is
completed, and Mr. Harris will produce
it early in September. Such is the story
of the growth of dramatic germ.

shame of every small bov who reads
history. Chroniclers and historians cite
deeds of Lady Hamilton to try to prove
that the race which condemned her to

irrefutable statement of an historian.
