.DAMON-PYTHIAS"
PLAY PROGRESSES

On Thursday and Friday nights,
April 2 and 8, there is to be present
ed at the Holt opera house the great
play of Damon and Pythias." AL
though this drama was first present
ed in 1921, like the plays of Shake
speare, it is due to live forever. The
local lodge of Knights of Pythias have
had this play in rehearsal for sew
eral weeks past and are putting forth
every effort to give the play a fine
presentation, no effort being spared
to stage it in proper manner. The
details of the production are being
looked after by those whose abilities
fit them for their various duties, and
scenery and properties are being spe-
cially prepared by a fine scenic ar
tist. The costuming of the play is
to be rich and gorgeous III TIE eX-
treme.
The history of the Knights of Pyth-
ias would not be complete without
this drama, any more ,.,aG the de-
scription of a mighty rive" without
pointing out the sprlng from rich 1t
took its rise. This drama was the
spring from which has come the great
Pvthian river that today is bearing
such a vast flotilla through life's
storms and pillows INTO the great mar
Dor of rest. This pIay is sublime in
its teaching and is in the highest de-
gress impressive. The interest Is
strongly excited from the first, and
increases to the last.

"A Friend In Needy,

Few women have reached ian old
age serene and bright and lovely as a
Lapland night without being called
upon-not once, but many times-to
dispense sage counsel to young men.
Many a man in his retrospect of a sue
cessful life is glad to acknowledge
what he owes to the words of an older
woman, that were said In time to en-
able him to avoid an error or to pre-
vent a repetition of the mistake he
made.
It is a wonderful thing for the stu
dent absent from home, the beginner
In business, the novice making his way
In any career, to have n faithful
voice, one attentive, sympathetic ear,
wherein he may repose his confidence
and be quite sure he will never be be-
trayed or disappointed. The tender
memory OF such a guide, philosopher
and friend" will never leave him. His
life will be truer and nobler because
be does not are to disappoint her.

In Memory OF Three Great PresI-
dents

A large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Wildwood Republican club. was
held on Thursday evening January29th,
1911, and very appropriate addresses
were made by some of the members,
principally BYE. H. Randolph and John
Duffield, in memory OF the birthday Of
one of our martyred Presidents, Will
lam Mckinley.
The club will give an entertainment
for the members aud families only, on
LincoIn's birthday, February12th, 1914,
at Red Mems hall, which will include
supper and refreshments. Some very
fine talent has been secured by the COM
mittee for the occasion, and it is hoped
that all members will participate In this
event, especially as the membership
has reached the century mark, and
there should be quite an interesting
gathering on this night. Washington's
birthday will be celebrated with a
smoker on Thursday evening, February
Goth. Club meets every Thursday eve
ming at 8 o'clock, at Johnson's office,
Pacific and Young avenues, tempora-
rily. until larger quarters can be secured.

MISS nEoNA DA1RYMP1E.

If you were a young and ambitious
story writer just beginning to get a
footing In the literary world and
should win a $4,000 prize for the best
story submitted in a contest how
would you feel?
Happy? Well, l reckon that feeling
would about cover the sensation, and
it is exactly how Miss Dalrymple, the
fortunate winner of a recent prize, de-
scribes her emotions when she heard
the good news.
"a wrote Diana of the Green Van,' "
said Miss Dalrymple, lin six weeks.
One evening while looking over a New
York paper l saw the contest adver-
tised, and l Immediately determined to
try for the prize.
For six weeks l was dead to the
world and barely alive to my family
and friends. Indeed, mother says she
claims about half of the prize money
as her share for keeping disturbing
sights and sounds out of my life during
the weeks J was scribbling."
Miss Dalrymple is a New Jersey girl,
having spent most of her life in the
city of Passaic. Her father Is a prom
inent lawyer, a student and the owner
of an exceptionally fine library. Miss
Dalrymple attributes her literary
tastes to the splendid opportunity her
fathers well chosen collection Of books
afforded her. At an early age she was
turned loose In the library to browse
among the books at will. Among the
favorite authors of the young woman
ara WuliseAT Locke. De Morgan and
Jeffrey Farnol. and of the older novel;
lists she most admires Dickens, Thack-
cray and George Eliot.
Stories for the prize winning con-
test were entered anonymously, and
Miss Dalrymple sent in two romances.
When the final sitting of manuscripts
took place the judges did not rnow
which of her stories to select as the
winner. The story. however. which
did not win out the publishers have
kept and will bring out next year.
This is not Miss Dalrymple's first ex-
perience in prize winning. She has
been the lucky one upon two other oc-
c~asions, but the checks received were
not nearly SO large.
And, speaking of checks, Miss Dali
rymple is a good little business wo-
man and will invest most of her $10.-
600 in bonds and mortgages and will
not use the money for Paris gowns. d
trln around the world or a new motor
car.
This petite. blue eyed girl with a
wealth of wavy golden hair. although
a writer. has strong convic-
lions. She believes in "votes for wo-
men," but at the same time she's a
