The plot revolves around Robert
Worburton, a young Army Officer,
ately resigned. who, returning from a
trip abroad, falls in love with the
daughter of Col. Annesley, who, UNI
knowingly to him. is his sister Nancy s
dearest friend.
To play practical joke on his sister
he shaves off his beard. borrows a
coachman's livery, brides the coach
man and jumps on the box of what he
supposes is his sisters carriage, in
tending to drive her home from ball
at the British Embassy, and at the end
of the drive brighten her a bit by
jumping down from the box, and CIV
ing her good, sound, brotherly kiss.
He makes a mistake in the carriage
number however. and instead of get
ting on the box of his sisters carriage,
he drives the one containing Miss
Annesley, who in the end receives the
kiss intended for his sister. She has
him arrested, the charge being abduc-
ton: the police also charge him with
reckless driving, and the first act opens
in the police court, where he is on trial.
At the trial Miss Annesley withdraws
the charge of abduction, and when he is
fined for reckless driving, she pays the
fine for him and engages him as her
coachman. She is confident that James
Osborne as he gives his name, is other
than he seems, and she hires him for
the coachman he appears, that she
may find out at her leisure who he
really is.

NUESS[E TALKS
FOR THE alumni
Bismarck Judge Will Deliver
Address at Founders
Day Exercises

w. L. Nuessle of Bismarck, judge Of
the Sixth Judicial District, has been
invited to speak for the alumni at
the annual Founders Day dinner next
Saturday evening at the University Of
North Dakota. Judge Nuessle grad
uated from the arts department at the
institution in 1899 and two years later
graduated from the law college. In
reply to the invitation to speak at
the dinner he stated that he would
be present If possible. ---
The celebration of the Founders
Day will be held on Friday and Sat
urday. February 20 and 81. owing to
the fact that February 22 fails on
Sunday this year. The day is always
celebrated in grand style. An elabor-
ate program is being prepared by the
Founders Day committee. Judge An
drew A. Bruce will be the principal
speaker at the dinner, which will be
held at $50 o'clock next Saturday
evening in the Commons building.
President F. L. McVey will act as
toastmaster. A member Of the board
of trustees. a member Of the faculty
and a student will also appear on the
program. The latter have not yet
been selected.
foAOWAhS sIC A)SoA Az.
Brannon will deliver the annual ad-
dress in the university gymnasium.
He will speak OH Twenty Years OF
University Life" Dean Brannon was
recently elected to the presidency OF
the University of Idaho and he ex-
poets to leave here about the middle
of March. The address will be IN
the nature Of farewell to the uni.
versity people and alumni: In view OF
this fact the committee In charge OF
the affair has been trying to induce
as many alumni as possible to return
to the institution next week. 1t ls
planned to make the anatr regular
Homecoming for old students.
Another big feature Of the program
this year will be the annual Carney
Song contest. which will be held Fri
day evening in the gymnasium. G. +.
Carney of the class of 'O4 offers an an
nual prize of $50 to the class writing
and singing the best songs on this oc-
casion. The class showing the most
spirit generally stands the best chance
of carrying off the money. The prize
was won last year by the sophomores,
and two years ago by the juniors.
Until last year the contest was held
late in the spring. The students are
unusually busy late in the year and
for that reason the date has been
changed. 1t also adds considerably to
the Founders Day program, and
will be made an annual feature OF the
celebration.

Thus he began to write down her

REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT.

He climbed mountain. steep and higf
That no man climbed before:
He went away to do or die
Where foemen's cannon roar;
He learned to fly in a machine
And daily risked his life:
When death he thus had often seen
He went and took a wife.
Not once in all his bold career
Had he been beaten down:
Of tiercest foes he'd shown no fear,
He'd dared stern natures frown:
He'd never failed to boss his crew,
No matter what their will:
He made men low or lofty do
The thing he wanted still.
He was, indeed. a man Of vim.
Courageous. strong and proud:
You would not fail to single him
From out the common crowd.
He took a wife-ah, SO 1t goes!-
His life to make or mar;
He bossed his wife. My story show,
How great some great men are.
