cosy Plaza to the doors at every per

among local theatregoers. It is the
greatest and most deliberately staged
dramatic offering to be presented upon
a local stage in several years and the
characters are SO cleverly drawn that
the interest of the audience is held
at it's highest pitch until the final
curtain. The story. as is limited by
the title, deals with the underworld

SPELLING MATCHES.

Many people were perhaps surpris-
ed the other day to read that Il third
annual inltercounty spelling match had
been held between school children in
Madison and Onondaga counties, New
York 1t would be interesting to
know if. this is merely a unique in
stance, or if there is a tendency to
revive the old time spelling match,
which has been regarded as obso-
lete.
The old fashioned spelling contest
seemed to be part of an earlier
social life, where people were thrown
more on their own resources for di-
version. Also they were not averse
to some little mental exercise There
were contests in repeating literary
and Biblical quotations and in the
writing of verses. All kinds of IN
formation were worked into games
Nowadays the world is more full
of amusements. Most people like to
sit in an opera chair and see other
people perform while their minds lie
Idle and inert.
The displays of spelling ability that
one would formerly see at any cross
roads spelling match would seem al
most unbelievable today. The Eng
fish language is so purely illogical IN
it's forms, that it requires no little
mental effort to establish a correct
80
rect form in ones mind by any analo-
gies, for the exceptions are more nu-
merous than the rules.
Probably good spelling ability de-
ponds somewhat on the same gifts that
create habits of mental accuracy. The
quiet nnousey looking person, who
never attracts attention in the class
roomJor social lifes is apt to have the
mind that works methodtcal1y and
regularly in one groove. This kind OF
mind probably makes the best spell
er.
Good spelling is a valuable habit
and gives an impression of an accur-
ate mind, and Familiarity with the
world of books and business. II
would be we'll if the old time spelling
contests could be revived, both as
sporting contests after the old manner
and in tests between different schools
towns and counties, as in the contest
in New York state referred to above

KILLED BENEATH
PRESIDENTS CAR

Oes Moiness Ia, Feb. 2.-Ffve school
children narrowly escaped being
crushed by President Wilson'S private
car while he was delivering a short
rear platform speech here yesterday
afternoon.
Hundreds Of persons were massed
around the car in the little ENCLOSURES
at the Rock Island station to hear the
President and to get a glimpse OF Mrs.
Wilson Two score bright faced school
children were holding on to the plat
form peering up at them.
Through some mistake in Signalling
or a false move of the engineer the
Presidents train backed several feet
before starting. The President, in the
n sf5st of a sentence. saw five of the
children thrown under the car. Hor-
rol.-stricloen, he leaned over the car
r. ling, calling out an order that the
CARRIE stopped.
It seemed as if the children were
certain of being killed. AFilitiamen
who had tried sunavailingly to keep
the crowd back succeeded, in pulling
the children from under the wheels
: before 1t was too late. In an instant
the direction of the train was reversed
e'7a an OF the children were out OF
danger.
Mr. Wilson was visib1y shaken by
the suspense.
