JAIL TO LOSING

New York, April 22.--I would ra
ther go to prison than have my child
kept away from me-" said Mrs. Fran
ces Harvey Malcney, as she was be-
ing led away to jail for stealing her
little daughter.
Mrs. Maloney had been charged
with kidnapping Josephine, two and
half years old, from the home Of
Mrs. Gertrude Dexter, her parent by
adoption.
Mrs. Maloney's counsel requested
a postponement, which was. granted,
Magistrate Nolan held the prisoner
under $500 bail. In the absence
of the bond Mrs. Maloney was oblig'
ed to return to Jail.
They may accuse me of any crime
stealing or kidnapping or anything
else" said Mrs. Maloney, but the
fact remains that little Josephine be-
longs to me and I should be entitled
to have her with me.
1T is not true that | ever turned
my child over to the other woman
I was i'll last August in hospital
and Mrs. Dexter offered to care for
the baby and I consented. But as
to permitting her to keep her for all
time I never did"
Although the child had been with
her foster mother for eight months
she showed her fondness for her own
mother at the police station. Mrs
Maloney had been taken away from
the child. But little Josephine was
calm.

REPORTING AS A
TRAINING SCHOOL.

Some people look at the position o
newspaper reporter as a lowly one
Many plays satirize reporters as in
trusive, aggressive, and rather often
feel that a young man of culture anC
education lowers himself by chasing
news.
This feeling formerly existed more
than now. The newspaper profession
has so many gifted men nowadays
so many OF them college trained. that
the dignity of the work Is obvious
a suggestion Of the service offered
by experience in this function. is Of
fered by the career of Richard Hard.
ing Davis. who has just died.
Davis, one of the most popular
story writers of the present time,
began with the plain everyday work
of reporting fires and accidents, just
like any other cub" 1t developed
and trained his powers, and gave him
his chance to display his gift. A
surprising number of men promin.
ent in business and public life start.
ed in as reporters.
Many young men who are not clear
what they want to do in life, begin
work in this position. Even If they
quit after few years, the time is
not wasted. They acquire invalu.
able gifts of clear, terse, logical ex.
preston of thought, accurate descrip.
ton. and precise statement. They
become very observant, and see the
significant details where others gain
only vague impressions.
Many are the men who have gradu
ated from this school to the ranks
of literature. Their reporterial exper
ience gave them the gift Of vivid de-
scrIption without witch no writer
gets very far. Some young men en-
terrain the indolent wish that they
could attain the higher positions in
the newspaper world, without going
through the mill of a reporters ex
perience. 1t is like wanting to go to
college without going to school. One
must be able to report fire accur
ately before lie can discuss the wal
in Europe.

Agricultural
College Neus

This evening Tuesday Logan and
Cache Valley will have an opportun
ity to do its share in the great ma.
ton wide celebration Of the three
hundredth anniversary OF the death
of the greatest literary genius the
world has produced. The dramatic
club OF the U. A. G.. under the able
direction of Miss Sara Huntsman will
present Shakespeare's most faceti-
Gus comedy, The Merry Wives of
Windsor. The play Is very much
suited to the modern stage and the
play going public of today probably
more so than any of the poets com.
edies. It is teeming with humor,
frolic and cleverness and abounds in
situations that are irresistibly fun.
ny. Miss Huntsman has selected and
trained an excellent cast. Sir John
Falstaff, the huge mountain Of flesh,
the Jolly drinking, fatuous knight,
will be played by Mr.. II. r. Merrill
who did such rare work as Mr.. Doc.
little in Pygmalion. Mr.. Merrill is
physically fitted to the part, weigh
ing as he does somewhere around
300 pounds and in addition is a
good actor.
Miss Leora Thatcher, who will not
soon be forgotten for her work as
the flower girl in Pygmalion, will
play the role of one of the merry
wives. Her fellow conspirator in
the clever plots is Miss Della Park
err. Miss Zelda Kirkham, whose
character work in Pygmalion was lit
tie short of professional, will ap-
pear as Dame Quickly, the feminine
counterpart of Falstaff. Bernard Nj.
cholas a member of the Milestcnes,
cast, will play the role Of Slender
that personification of inanity and
childish ignorance.
The remainder of the cast are equ-
ally strong, but less Familiarity known
to the Logan public. COLLINS, fairies
and weird waits appear in the forest
dance.
The celebration of the Shakespeare
Tercentenary is nation wide. In New
York City 100000 school children will
take part in the grand spectacle. In
st Louis 500 men and women will
assist Margaret Anglin in the pro-
duction of a pageant concentrating
momentous historical event. In Salt
Lake City, the municipal government
is cooperating with the schools to
make the celebration a complete sue.

that Logan should not be out of the
ring, and is therefore presenting to
the people one Of the most jolly, and
most presentable of all Shakespeare's
plays. In Nibley Hall tonight,
