Why He Couldn't Remember.

A kindergarten teacher tells good
Joke on herself. She has oeen very
strict in requiring written excuses
from the mothers in case Of absence.
The morning OF the big snowstorm
only a few Of the babies made their
appearance. The next day they all
came with written excuses except one
tot, named Willie. When asked for
his, he said: 81 did ferdit it."
He was cautioned to bring 1t the
next day.
Willle's mother was quite disgusted.
| II seemed to her that any one with the
slightest pretensions to gray matter
ought to know the reason for his abb
sence.
The next morning he arrived all
rosy with the cold, and handed the
| teacher his excuse. II read;
"Dear Miss c.: Little Willie's
legs are fourteen inches long. The
snow was two feet deep. Very truly
yours. Mrs, g." i

Scotland, not knowing Of the change
her husband has made, enters the fiat
of John Smith and introduces herself
to the hOusekeeper and Dick Desmond
as Mrs. Smith. The real Mrs. John
Smith now uneXpeCt eddy returns and
complications ensue that are side.
splittng The real John Smith re-
turns to find his fiat occupied by a
strange woman who calls herself Mrs.
Smith.
The role of the real Mr. Smith was
played by Frank Wright. His acting
was good and no fault whatever could
be found. Frank certainly appeared
a distracted husband when he found
his wife returning and two strange
women in the fiat.
The part of Rev. John Smith, Cur
ate of St. Andrews, was played By
Warren Cadwallader. MI. Cadwalla,
der played this part with exceptional
ability.
Thomas Watson as Dick Desmond,
the real Mr.. Smiths guest, did well
in representing this character. Toms
hearty laughs seemed contagious.
They invaded the audience,
The part of Col Duncan Smith, the
real Mr.. Smiths uncle, was played
by Raymond MCFate. This was a
difficult part but Mr.. McFate had no
trouble in his characterization of the
little colonel.
Sergeant DuffelI was played by
VIM. Read Mr.. Read made a most
excellent detective.
The young ladies in the cast had
difficult parts but each played her
part as if she had been on the stage
for years.
The part of the Curates wife was
played by Laura Langhorst. This
young lady in her part received a full
share of the applause.
Hazel Black played the role of
! Nora, John Smiths wife. Miss Black
was a success in this role although IL
was a difficult part.
Miss Fotheringay of the Bijou the
alter was ably represented by Marie
Hull. Miss Hull appeared on the
stage in a stunning costume of red
and a ripple of approval ran through
the audience. Miss Hull did her part
with credit.
Kathryn Pogge as Mrs. Pointing
John Smiths housekeeper, played her
part with ability. This was a din
cult part but Miss Pogge did excep
tionaily well.
The entire cast showed the effects
of weeks of practicing. There was
polish to their work that does moi
come With few rehearsals. In pick
ing the cast one could hardly have

JOHN MOORE HON0RED
Bethel Grange Organized In Jeffer,

The writer of this brief item visited
John Moore of jefferson township and
organized a Grange society at Bethel
church on the county line The fol

| 1t was hurry mp" meeting, not
advertised beforehand nor announced
with trumpets. The outcome shows
that country people are Interested in
| the great questions of the day and
mean to take an active part in help
| ing to solve them.
| In the organization John Moore was
elected Master of the Grange. 1t
is interesting to know that Mr. Moore
occupied the same position in Jeffer-
son Center Grange 80 years ago. Il
was organized Jan. 16, 1873, in which
year $50 Oranges were begun in Iowa
Mr.. Moore retains the original charter
and from it we copied the following
names:
]. Jelfords, Nancy Jeffords, A. Me
hanna, Nancy Mchanna, c. H. Brock,
Z. II. BransOn, Price Jones, John
Pringle, John Whiteman, n. Reid, G.
Walton, Virginia Walton, Alex. TrOt
ter, Mary A. Reid, Margaret Trotter,
Charlotte Whiteman, Henry Eveland
Nelson Cone, f. M. Cone, Hugh Dor.
nan, Elizabeth Cone, VIM. Clark, Elz-
abeth DOrnan.
1t will be recognized that most OF
these good people have joined the
Grange on the other side. by which
we mean that the principles and the
teachings of the Grange are as clean
and noble as any Sunday school or
church in the land 1t is well worth
while for all farmers to unite in this
way to improve themselves in social
and intellectual ways. The Grange
can be a Short Course Chautauqua'
Concert, Institute, social and school
1t is not a business enterprise, though
cooperative enterprises are sometimes
carried on when circumstances seem
to justify.
When Mr.. Moore made brief talk
accepting the work of Master of
Bethel Grange he said to them: My
self and wife will give fine lot and
500 in cash toward a Grange Hall if
the community will raise enough
more to complete and furnish a nett,
comfortable hall" His idea is to pro-
vide in the country the comforts and
modern conditions that belong to good
living and that will make rural people
just as well situated as city people.
He is right,

OH. S. CLASS PLAY
IS BIG SUCCESS
"Facing The Music" Brings Applause
And Approval From Audience
ACTING WAS PROFESSIONAL
One of the Most Pleasing Features Of
Commencement Week - Glass is
to be CompIimented on Their
Efforts and Ability.

After many weeks Of hard praCtiC
ing under the direction of Judge l.. M
B. Morrissey of Ottumwa, the gradU
ating class of the Oskaloosa High
school Tuesday evening presented for
the criticisms of the public a clever
three act comedy entitled Facing the
Music" To spend any time tellins
would be useless, for the play was
one grand success. The opera house
was entirely filled and in this i'm.
mense audience there was not a sil.
gle person that did not heartily ap,
plaud the players in their efforts to
entertain. Judge Morrissey is to be
COmpimented upon his excellent
work in training the cast in their var
iOuS parts. During the entire prOduC.
ton there was not single hesitation
or embarrassing moment. Every,
thing went off smoothly.
The acting of the young people
would have done credit to profession
ais. Every line was well read and
there was not a single awkward or
embarrassing situation in the whole
play.
Facing the Music" is a clever little
comedy the action of which takes
place at the other Mr.. Smiths fiat,

reality an antelope, the Beatrix Onyx,
is said never to drink, which is
probably correct, for unless these
animals can descend the wells they
can find no drinking water for ten
months in the year There is no
surface water, and rain falls but
precariously during the winter Only
once during my journey did find
a pool Ct rainwater. caught in a
hollow rock, and even this ! should
have passed by without knowing of
its existence had not my camels
shifted it from a distance and OBJ
stinately refused to be turned from
going in that direction These
antelope, however are provided by
nature with a curious food supply
especially designed as thirst
quencher. This is a parasite which
grows on the roots of the desert

HIS DOLLAR BILL;
BESTOWED TO CHARITY

Diplomacy doesn't always work
as a certain kind-hearted business
man in West Philadelphia has just
found out. He says that the les
son was cheap at the price, but
at the same time he will employ
more direct methods next time he
wishes to play the philanthropist.
1t happened on the subway the
ether night He had just closed a
real estate deal at considerable prof
it and was feeling very generous,
so when he saw a poor woman in
threadbare dress carefully count
out five pennies for her ticket, and
saw that it was the last money in
her worn pocketbook, he determined
to help her Of course it wasn't
easy, but the man prides himself
upon being diplomat. So, crum-
ping a dollar bill up in his hand
he stopped over as if picking some
thing up and then, holding it out
to the woman, said
Madam, here is some money you
dropped He tfied to smile signi-
ficantly as he said it, but she didn't
seem to understand and said sim
ply:
faint mine.
You'd better take it, he said
1T isn't mine, and it was lying
right by you"
The woman shook her head at
first, then took it slowly out Of
his hand and locked at it gloating-
~ The man smiled, well pleased
with himself, but an instant later
the woman, seeing man looking
down at the platform, rushed up
and cried: Was you looking for
a dollar bill?"
Il sure was, answered the man,
promptly.
We'll, here it is, said the wom-
an, and the man with a delighted
"Oh thanks" calmly pocketed the
sum and walked away. Philadel-
