Typographical Errors.

Editor Democrat:
In your issue of Feb. correspond
ept corrects an error in the History of
Buckfield. Presumably not typograph-
ical error, however.
Another correspondent begs for brief
space in your valuable columns to cor
rect several typographical errors in her
contributions to that most interesting
volume. In the poem entitled "Where
Would Rest" the word "piles" Is sub
stituted for "plies" In the first stanzs.
At the beginning of the second stanza
the first word "But" is left out, destroy
ing the rythm, and the connection be-
tween the stanzas.
In the eighth stapza of "a November
Idyr' the word "the" before "Silenoe"
is left out, destroying rythm and mean
ing, and full stops at the end OF that, and
the sixth stanzas-where there should
be no punctuation marks-destroy the
connection between those and the follow
ing stanzas.
When ones productions must 'go
down in history" one naturally prefers
that they be unspoiled by typographical
errors.

/" Just plain Folks. I"

Because it 10 . simple story Of ordinary
people, without any highly intense char
scters or situations, is doubtless Why the
non-committal title of "Just Plain
Folks" was attached to the play put on
Friday evening by the senior class of the
high school. Its scene is laid In . more
or less typical country home, and there
are no parts in 1t which are beyond the
reach Of amateurs Of good ability.
Illness interfered with the preparation
Of the play somewhat, but made neces-
sary only one change in the cast. NAL
colin Clark, cast for Sammy Sellers, was
unable to attend rehearsals, and at short
notice the week of the performance,
Harold Merrill was substituted, and
played the lively young scapegrace
nephew of DR.. Gilbert with the same
readiness and sang troid which he has
numerous times before displayed.
Donald Wight a. DR.. Gilbert, the kind
ly country physician; Newell Powers as
Zske Trimble, the deaf and dumb hired
mana good comedy part; Andrew East
man as Richard Morrey, the attorney;
Harold Perham as Jim Granger, the
kind. hearted II rough circus man; and
James Mason as Professor Winkler, not
too wise to be captured BY the wiles of
belated maiden;-all presented we'll their
various characters, and with only traces
of self-consciouspess.
OF the girls in the cast, Miss Eva An
drews as Kitty, the circus girl, round
whom the action of the play really con.
ters, and Miss Myra Hsggett as Mrs. Gil
bert, sharp-tougued but really kind OF
heart, performed their roles In such
manner as would be expected of them.
Both have in the past played variety of
parts, always scceptably. Miss Mary
Clifford as Arletta Bedell, the wealthy
and rather eccentric old maid, and Miss
Ethel Hardy as Rosie, the Scandinavian
servant, made good use of the opportu-
mites afforded by their parts to do q
good bit Of character deliueation.
Throughout, the play manifested care
ful and thorough preparation. Mrs. /.
z. Andrews has had the coaching of the
players.
Between acts, besides the music of
Shaw's Orchestra, there were q cornet
solo by Philip Jones and a reading by
Andrew Eastman. Every seat In the
house was filled.
