SOMEWHERE IN
FRANCE AT GLEASON

The above named play will be CIV
en- by the Gleason High School, pu-
pills Friday evening, Feb. 22, in the
college hall. The doors will open at
7:30. This play is just out and is
the best patriotic play on the mar
ket today. 1t shows how the French
homes have been broken up, how the
people there feel at the present time
and what they thought of America
not entering the war sooner and what
they think of it now. 1t is very i'm.
pressive, and every patriotic Ameri-
can should see it. The play shows
what the Red Cross nurse is doing
in this war and what impression
Gen. Pershing made on France when
he landed over there.
The price of admission is only a
dime. We put it very low so all may
get to see this wonderful play. Be-
sides the play, there will be some
good readings and music from the
expression and music departments.
The proceeds are to be used for
getting books for the library.-W.

Find Relics Of Saxon KINGS.

Capt. Vaughan Williams of Old
Windsor has discovered what he be-
lleves to be the site Of the palace Of
the Saxon kings and the pre-conquest
town Of Windsor. 1t is believed that
there once stood at Old Windsor the
palace of Edward the Confessor, but
although several Saxon urns have been
excavated here from time to time the
actual position Of the palace has never
been decided.
Tighe and Davis, In their annals of
Windsor" say that Old Windsor was
probably selected by the Saxon kings
as residence for the same reason as
1t was subsequently repurchased by
William the Conqueror, on account of
its convenience for hunting in the for
est. The lands of Windsor, granted by
Edward the Confessor and exchanged
by the abbot Of Westminster with VIII
liam, appear tc have had reference to
Old Windsor, and did not include the
site Of the present town or castle. King
William held Old Windsor as his own
demesne.

AMERICANS ONE GREAT IDEA
Happiness Has Principal Charm-The

"The Americans are the most ideal.

like Wordsworth, the most prosaic of
poets, they believe in happiness, and
happiness to them as to Wordsworth
means mems sana in corpore sanO ;
every one efficient in the tasks Of mod
ern life, the least heroic Of doctrines.
II met young American poet, hand

some prize or other for Il poem. He
said to me in his arrogant way that
poetry is a by-product Of life. Why, l
said, 1t is life itself Il don't agree
with YOU was all he cOndescended to
reply. This young man expressed the
American idea.
II think the English dislike of the
cries, etc, through their long history
is because of their poetical minds and
their preOccupation with personality
and its freedom.
"The taste for scenery has this adj
vantage over the taste for human ma

since scenery Is never absurd as are

BETROTHAL OF THE JUNGLE
Maiden and intended Each Supposed
to Mediate on ACCESSIBILITY of
Union Before Ceremony.

A second beating of tomtoms thun
dered through the barrio. The bride
i was coming Down an avenue made
for her by women of the tribe slowly
crept the tiny figure. 1t was draped
in the sOftest eastern stuffs; jeweled
anklets and bangles tinkled merrily
A gauzy veil of wOndrous workman
ship swathed the figure, but through it
Piang recognized his beloved Papita.
Slowly she approached; fearfully she
raised her eyes to the man who await
ed her, Florence Particle Stuart writes
in st. Nicholas. Her little feet fall
tered, and Papita leaned heavily
against the woman who supported her.
But at that moment Piang gave a
strange whistle, three soft notes of q
nina bird fOated over the barrio and
Papita became suddenly alive. Again
the notes stole through the jungle. The
bride threw back her veil.
'"The unwilling maid seems to have
forgotten her VICE." said one scornful
woman to another.
The prieSteSS commenced the cere-
mony that was to last all night. 1t
was filed with weird chants to which
Papita responded with renewed vigor.
But her eyes furtively glanced toward
spot near the curve of the creek where
q slender reed swayed increasingly.
After several hours the priestess
led the way to the water and Ynoch
placed Papita in her gala vinta and
pushed her out into the stream. He
got into another and the two boats
nosed each other while the crowd show
cred them with oils and perfumes.
When the command came to part, the
boats shot off in opposite directions.
A maiden and bridegroom are each
to mediate, in Oriental fash
lon, on the ACCESSIBILITY Of the union be-
fore the final ceremony; so read the
