the bride has this money for her own

WAS SENT.

Alpine, Texas, May 6-Sweeping
one block bare, fire early today de
stroyed nine of Alpine's largest and
most important business buildings,
with a loss of about $4,000.
When the local fire department
and dynamite failed to control the
flames two chemical engines were
rushed here on flat cars from Maria,
~ld the fire was brought under con-
troll about daylight, after burning
for three hours.
The fire was in the block extend
ing east from the Holland Hotel IT
started in a jewelry store in the
Lackey building, being discovered by
Night Operator Bernhard, about .
a. m. In a few minutes the whole
building was a pillar of fire, and an
hour later most of the block was
doomed
The local fire department had one
hose cart to oppose the flames. The
city also has a chemical engine, but
it was said to be out of order The
fire was licking the walls of the
First National Bank building when
it was finally brought under control,
but this building was not seriously
damaged. The Maria department
came in on a special train on the
Southern Pacific.
The block burned today was the
same one visited by a disastrous fire
in 1907.

High School Plays.

A full house greeted the annual
high school play on Friday evening
at the Robson opera house and by
their continual laughter and persist
ent clapping testified to the success of
the production.
There were two comedies for the
evening-one a short sketch in the
nature of a curtain raiser and the 9th
er a two act drama.
The productions were under the di-
rection of Miss Claudine Wilkinson,
teacher of history and expression in
the high school, who deserves the
highest credit for the praiseworthy
mann in which the comedies were pro
duced.
Miss Wilkinson has done this work
in addition to her regular routine Of
duty and has accomplished most sat
isfactory results. Her tutelage of the
pupils fully emphasize the value of the
play to the high school life in the per-

fore an audience.
In the comedy, Lend Me Five Shil-
lings," Lawrence Tarver was the
star"
There are some school boys so full
OF life and the wholesome JOY of it,,
that their good humor is contagious
Miss Wilkinson selected just such a
boy for the part of Mr.. Golghtly and
Mr.. Tarver kept his audience in a con-
tinual litter. He was so thoroughly
liked by the audience that he had the
very unusual experience of first
nighter" in having to respond to the
third curtain call

the part of an irascible major most
satisfactorily.
Charles Sacra, as Captain Spruce,
Joe Frank Williams, as Moreland, and

The Social Realm

Let's get away
No matter where,
Only, I'm weary of the same old
places,
Sick of the same old sights, the same
white faces
That pass in endless sameness, day
by day.
Let's get away
South where the hot stars flare
In softer skies,
Or westward to the land of great EN-
prise;
Friend of my heart, are you not worn
with care,
Tired of this little round of work and
play?
Let's get away!
Let's get away
North where the cold lights glare
Above the grim array
OF bergs and ice floes, merciless and
bare;
South, east or west-what matters II,
the path that we may fare
If only we can get away, away to
anywhere,
The strip and surge of spring.
Are in my blood; my pulses throb and
sing
With fierce, hot wanderlust that's
stronger far
Than reasons" are;
And cunningly it urges me to 90
Again to know
The folly and the freedom of the road,
To quit my task, my duty, my abode,
And staff in hand
Follow the trail that leads to No Mans
Land.
Friend of my heart, l need you, come
and share
The fortune of the road with me-the
sunshine and the air
The calm and storm-the dark days
and the gay
Are you not ready for this glad essay?
Lets get away!
