MRS. FRIEDEWALD READS,
1.-THE TERRIBLE MEEK

A one-act play entitled "The
Terrible Meek" by Charles Ram
Kennedy, was the subject of Mrs.
Salo F'riedewald's reading in the
High school auditorium Saturday af-
ternoon. The usual large attend
ance greeted Mrs Friedewald at this
reading which proved very interest
ing to all lovers of good literature
present. The book has caused much
comment and criticism owing to the
fact that the soldiers in the play
are made by Mr.. Kennedy, to use a
cockney dialect throughout their
parts, although they are supposed TO
be Roman soldiers. There are three
characters in the play-the Captain
and a private and Mary, Mother of
Christ. The scene of the play is laid
just following the crucifiXion of
Christ and the first three acts are
produced on a darkened stage. This
is to portray the darkness which fol-
lowed the crucifiXion. In the last
act, however, the stage is lightened,
showing the three figures on the
crosses. The Captain is brought to
a partial acknowledgment of the
wrong he has committed. This is by
the same author as "The Servant in
the House" The next reading will
be on "Marlowe," the author of
which is Josephine Preston Peabody.

ASK DETAILS OF SCOTS DEATH
English Public Demands Explanation of
Several Entries In Explorers Diary.


Several Entries In Explorers Diary.
London, Feb. 17.-In view of disquiet-
ing rumors concerning the Scott ant
arctic party general demand is being
made for the fullest inquiry into the
death of Captain Scott and his -four
companions. The public wants several
entries in the diary of Captain Scott
explained, especially his reference to
the shrinkage of his fuel supply. The
refusal of any of the survivors to throw
any light on this has caused the de-
mand for further light on the subject.
Much chagrin is being expressed in
many quarters at the slow response Of
the British public for funds for me-
mortal to Captain Scott and his com
panions. Despite the urgent appeals of
the press for subscriptions for the fund.
the public has given only about $1,000.
The failure of a prompt response by
the public in honor of the dead heroes
is attributed to some extent to the
many different agencies of collection.
some of which overlap.
Commander Evans. now in charge OF
the party aboard the Terra Nova, is to
remain in New Zealand to meet Mrs
Scott. She is now on the Pacific, un-
aware that the husband she expects to
meet is dead. She is expected to arrive
in New Zealand on Feb. 81.

was wide and nice but not so willing
for us to go inside. 1t was nice out
side but we were afraid the wind
would blow out the candles. However
we finally had the meeting in the cor

much when meeting time came. AT
the sound OF the organ and the sight
of the big light-wood fire the people
gathered. The town is small Some
GO people came and the meeting was
more than two hours long but they

in another little village. After which

came on to town called Purulha
There we did not have a meeting as
it rained that night We sang n few
songs but no one came. Before reach
ing Purulha we crossed mountain

with the steps about two feet apart.
Charlie and Bill proved very valiant
and brought us down safely. We GER

80 miles. We were glad indeed to get
