EVOLUTION OF A SENATOR.
His Career Briefly Sketched From Baby
Holding to Congress.

His Career Briefly Sketched From Baby
Holding to Congress.
Prior to election a future United
States senator is meek and lowly. He
is not averse to holding babies or four
aces, as the environment may demand,
while campaigning for votes. One may
safely slap him on the back without
fear Of rebuff. Before the last precinct
is counted he seems to know his sue
cess, for the senatorial candidate stiff
ems, dons his black clothes and a fresh
collar and begins to practice a digni-
fed stride for future use on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Babies and jackpOts
have lost their alluring possibilities; no
longer does he tolerate familiarity; he
is as patrOniZing as a rooster who
scratches worms for the hens and then
eats them before his invited guests ar
rive.
Seated in niche Of the hall Of con-
gress the new senator feels as though
he should peer through a microscope
to make sure he is there, but confden-
tial letters sent to the editor Of the
Jumpoff Breeze tell how he is prepar-
ing bill advocating the irrigation of
Sagebrush valley; also how he is work
ed to death by other senators asking
favors of him. AS school for fiction
writer's the United States senate has
all other correspondence schools dashed
to the mast
Many senators fail to receive just re-
ward at the conclusion of their maiden
voyage through the troubled congress
sional waters probably because the law
is so strictly enforced against murder.

High School Notes

The annual shipment of books
from the townSh hip have arrived and
are now in the library ready for use.
Basket ball practice is progress
ing rapidly. A squad of from Is to
II are out for positions. The first
team will probably be picked in a
week or so. Glass games will not
start until after Christmas. Unt
then the classes will simply practi e
and pick out their team. After the
holidays series of IL games will
be played. Mr.. Almy has offered a
trophy for the class team that wins
the championship. The race for
the championship promises to be
close, as all the classes have good
material.
A great deal of enthusiasm is
manifested in Victrola night at the
Princess theatre. Manager Rosen-
berg has offered all proceeds for
8 Tuesdays to the fund for school
victrola. Children all through the
grades are selling tickets. Mer-
chants have offered prizes for the
greatest number OF tickets sold.
Watch the display windows for a
display of these prizes. There will
be a short vaudeville act at the the
atre on Victrola night, next Tues
day, given by group of high
school students.
The assembly room was crowded
to its capacity Tuesday night to
hear the school play, "A Case of
Suspension. BY many this play
was pronounced the best effort of
the amateur actors. 1t was thrill
ing play full Of school flavor and all
participating covered themselves
with glory. Philip Snodgrass as
the college professor and Lois Bird
as the matron of women were un-
usually clever. Emma Smith, Hell
en- Dawson and Maude Burghardt
as college girls bent on evading the
rules and giving spread did their
parts remarkably well. John Lin
jer, Howard George and Charles
Cox typefed the romping college
lad spirit to perfection and Billy
Smith and Letha Chinook in char
acter sketches of hired man and
kitchen maid were as good as pro-
fessionals. The singing by the
boys club added a neces sary college
flavor and the stage setting in gen.
eral did much to make the entertain
ment a success. Too much credit
cannot be given Miss Williams for
her excellent work in producing a
play as pleasing and worth while.
Many former stars of high school
plays were present to enjoy the ev-
ening.
