THE WCSSI1UDES OF AN ITINERANT GAZETTEER.
By Miss Marie Ashford,

As daily work in spelling for the Sth and
9th grades of the st. Joseph high school a
prize was offered to the pupil writing a
story using the greatest number of words,
Group TIT of the State List for 1917. This
award was won by Marie Ashford, Sth
grade. who used $40 words, and the re-
suit of whose efforts is published below.
So many of the stories showed merit
and effort it was decided that another
prize be given for the story with the best
plot, employing a large number of the
words, and reading smoothly and con-
nectedly. This was given to Mollie Drake,
also Sth grade, whose story will appear in
next weeks issue Of the Gazette.
A third prize, Il toy goose, which bobs
its head constantly, was given to Michael
Abrahm, Sth grade, in recognition of
the peculiar qualities and characteristics
Of his story. These qualities We leave to
the imagination of our readers.
The words in italics are those con
tanned in the before list.

this age demands, there must be

Of the community.
The church to attain its fullest

the fives of the people in the
community it serves; it must
build character; develop thought
and increase the efficiency OF
human life. 1t must serve the

side of life. II religion does not

Fewer and Better Churches.
Blessed 10 that rural community
which has but one place of wor-

TENOR PRAISES THEME
OF "THE GREAT LOVER"

One of the most enthusiastic admir-
ers Of Leo Ditrichstein is Enrico Ca
russo. During the years run of The
Great Lover" in New York, he saw the
play twenty-seven times.
Mr.. Caruso considers Mr.. Ditrich-
STEMS play-especislly the stars de-
lineation of the chief role-to be the
greatest exposition OF artistic temper
sment ever staged in . theater. He
will talk of 1t for hours. citing the
minutest details of the action and
business" of the play. that would es-
cape the notice of the critical play
goer.
Why must they call this play TO
mantle comedy" said the singer. TT
is romantic, surely. but why a COM
edy? The big theme of the play, the
beautiful story-the great artist Jean
PaureL. his magnificent voice gone
forever gone; instead of the silvery
note, a pitiful 'squeak'-that Is the
tragedy. ! admire to watch him in his
hour of great trial II comes to US all
in time. Yet / sorrow so to see him
suffer. Some day II will come to me
Caruso. 1t is great play. and Di-
trichstein is a great artist, but II is
tragedy. The love story-that. too. tt
tragedy. It is all very wonderful. very
true, but tragedy. the great tragedy
that sometimes comes to every artist
that ever lived" And there were tears
in the eyes of the greatest tenor OF
our time
