Who Wrote the Constitution

1t is generally understood that
James Madison was the chief author
of the Constitution Of the United
States. Beyond a doubt the great in
strument was the joint product of the
entire convention, but from the best
accounts Madison was the man who
put it into shape as we have it today.

The Civic League
THE PASSING OF THE THIRD
FLOOR BACK"
will present the drama

THE PASSING OF THE THIRD
FLOOR BACK"
next Thursday, Dec. 10th. Very infre-
quentIy is such an ambitious play at
tempted by amateurs. However, the
League already is assured of success.
Within twenty minutes after the ar
rival of the director who will stage the
play, the cast was at work. Miss Olive
Kackley of Chicago, has been engaged
by the League to direct the production.
The cast was selected finally on Thurs
day, Dec. Bird. Miss KackIey makes a
speciality of putting on plays in one
week time and next Thursday the peo-
pie of Hays will see "The Passing of
the Third Floor Back"
The League was fortunate in secur-
ing the direction of Miss Kackley.
During the past season she has coached
over one thousand amateurs in theatri-
Gals. This will be the fifteenth cast she
has trained in this one play. At Hill
City, Miss Kackley has staged five diff
ferent plays. She has also put on anna
teur productions at Plainville, Stock
ton, WaKeeney, etc. Miss Kackley
was the director of the Topeka High
School play and at Monmoth, Ill. She
has also appeared on Kansas Day pro-
grams, this alone bespeaks her ability.
In an interview at the parlors of the
Windsor hotel one was impressed with
her dynamic personality. The cast is an
amateur cast. The complete cast and
announcements will appear next week.

Paul Reddig Injured.

Last Tuesday evening Paul Reddig
met with most serious and painful
accident. While working with the
welding machine at the south side
garage the Oxygen tank exploded
and large bolt was hurled with such
force that 1T instantly shattered the
bone in the elbow of his left arm.
At the time of the accident we un-
derstand that Paul was some thirty
feet from the machine, which doubt
less was fortunate for the young man
for had he been nearer it might have
resulted in far more serious injury or
even death. Medical assistance was
summoned at once and quite large
quantity of splintered bone was re-
moved and the arm dressed and the
unfortunate boy made as comfortable
as was possible. Everyone sympa-
thiZes with Paul in his misfortune
and hope that his injury will not be
a permanent one. The force of the
explosion blew a piece of the machine
through the wall of the garage
seventy-five or a hundred feet away.
