ROMANCE OF A VASE.

A gentleman from Bala, North
Wales, who recently purchased a vase
for a few pounds, has had the pleas
ure of discovering that the article is
worth, even for breaking-up pur-
poses, more than $50 times the
amount of the purchase money.
He obtained the vase as bronze
from a London auction room, but
later found that it had been bronzed
over; that it was, in fact, of gold
and silver and of great antiquity.
1t is believed to possess a romantic
history, and it was probably dis
guised to hide its value, which NAV
turn out to run into thousands of
pounds. Photographs and a descrip-
ton of the vase have been submit
ted to the Liverpool museum author
ties, who are Of the opinion that its
worth has not been overestimated
The ornamentation is evidently OF
Grecian design and the workmanship
is French.-London News and

When General Braddock started

buscades. Braddock ignored the
warning and was surprised and his
army cut to pieces, Braddock him
self being MORALLY wounded. Frank
lin relates, rather wickedly, that
Braddock remained silent the whole
day on the retreat, and that the first
words he spoke we're; "Who would

he again collected himself and said,
"We'l know better next time" and

"AhAAA VI WV 81 NAhNaN ~
Women was ended Monday morn
ing after several days of highly
successful exercises representing
the various departments Of the
coll .ge and different organiza-
tions of tn student body.
The year Just closed was prob
ably the most satisfactory in
Central history. The standard
of work IN the literary depart
ment is so we'll established that
the statement of higher grades
made and superior scholarship
maintained is sufficient to ssure
those interested, that real college
work at Central is a progressive
matter. Practically the same
faculty is retained for the com
ing year, which is gratifying as
it commends work done, and
promises the same advantages in
the future.
r AS usual there have been inn
progemenss Of various kinds
during the year, in general
equipment. The most important
of these since last year is the IN
stallation Of a pipe organ, a
beautiful instrument made by one
of the best companies in America.
1t occupies the south end of
Murrell Hail and greatly en-
hances the appearance Of the au-
ditorium. AT the dedication of
this organ in May, Mr.. Kreiser Of
Kansas City, gave an elaborate
program and lecture.
Tie commencement exercises
were initiated by Glass Day ex-
ercises on the campus Saturday
morning. This included the
usual features of such an oc-
casion. The class of 1913 is an
unusually talented one and this
year presented on Monday even
ing with pupils from the Express
sion department "The Tanning Of
the Shrew." The play was Civ
en- in Murrell Hall and showed
much histrionic ability. Misses
Kathryn Clark and Marguerite

themselves in the principal roles.

Mrs. Farmer and Miss Ricketts,
were hostesses and made the so.

success. They served refresh
ments on the lawn and were
charmingly cordial.
The erowring musical event
of a remarkable season was the

chorus under the direction of
Prof. d.. +. Conrad. The audience
was large and appreciative, in
Guiding nearly all of the Licking
ton people who understand the
best in music. This audience,
the chorus cf seventy-five, bank
ed on the Platform, the dignified
background of the new organ, thu
new arrangement of lights in the
auditorium, made the spectacle
truly imposing.
No solO.srs were imported for
the occasion, but the entire pro-
duction was given by Conser-
vatory and local talent. Both

Tuesday evening suffered none
In comparison with the artists
who were brought from Kansas
City for the previous oratorios.
The chorus was well drilled,
well balanced and at all times
sure Of itself.
The program was opened by
the lnflammatus from Rossini' s
Stabat Mater with Miss Marian
CLARK sing rs the solo. It was
followed by the Barcarolle from
Offenbach', Tales of Hoffman.
the Miserere Scene from II
TroYatore with Miss Clark as
Leolora aud Mr.. st. Clair as
Manrico was one Of the most
pleasing Numbers of the evening
and brought prolonged applause.
The Soldiers Chorus from Faust
was given with vim and dash
and concluded the first part of
the program The second part
was the o%ratorio, Spohr's Last
Judgment, which, though not so
popular as the first part, pleased
the musical critics to a high de-
gree and demonstrated the eff
ficiancy of the chorus.
To Mr.. Conrad, of course, is
due the highest praise. He has
worked indefatigably in seeing
that no detail was lacking in
making the program a success.
Patlent, yet a good discipline
rian, with high ideals and a
clear understanding of what he
wanted, he has again demon
strated his splendid musicianship.
Although te modestly shares the
praise with those who worked for
him, the evening was a great
triumph for him.
Of the s%oloists, Miss Marian
Clark had the largest amount Of

sang the e~ontralto parts of the
quartets most capably.
Mr.. Harry st. Clair was in ex-
celIent vol and did some of the
best singing Of his career. His
rendition af the tenor role in the
Miserere scene was beautiful and
his solo work in the %oratorio ex-
tremely pleasing.
Mr.. Robert Guinther and Dr..
T. b. Ramsey divided the bass
work, Mr., Guinther taking most
of the solos and DR.. Ramsey the
quartet parts. Both were fine.
Miss Margaret Aull, at the
piano, again had the burden of
the accompaniment work and
again covered herself with glory.
She is painstaking, accurate and
symDathetic. She played the
most difficult passages with ease
and precision
Mr.. 0. h. Sellers, at the or
gan, added to the effectiveness
Of the occasion by the part he
took in the accompaniments. He
ingeniously adapted a Harmo-
mum part 10 the organ, to which
he added i skillful use of the
stops for orchestral coloring. The
organ gives good support to a
chorus and in the heavy passages
Is as effective as a large or
chestra.
Many others helped by per-
forming their respective duties
well and contributed toward max
ing the program what many con-
sidcl the lest thing of it's kind
ever given in Lexington.
Wednesday morning at 1920
the graduating exercises were

M. U. Junior Lawyers Strike

Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 11.-Members
of the junior class in the school of
Law, University of Missouri, went
on strike this morning when they
were confronted by a midsemester
examination.
II was the first time in nearly ten
years that such quiz had been given
and the students resented the break
ing of the precedent. The members
of one class left the room without
answering any question.
Prof. Charles Burdick threatened
to report the offenders to the Disci-
pline Committee, but the students
stood pat.
Several members of the Tiger foot
ball team are involved and the root
ers" are worried lest these men be
declared ineligible.
The students say that midsemester
examinations are not held at other
law schools, and the long reviews
take too much time from their daily
work.
