sufficient guards for BergdolI, who
eiuded two sergeants of nearly
twenty years Army experience when
he escaped from his Philadelph phi a
home May 20. He was out of prison
on special permission from the War

THE LYCEUM COURSE
Next Entertainment Will Be Given by
Little Playhouse Company
on February 10.
A Play, *'The Passing of the Third
Floor Back" Will Constitute
One of the Features.

Next Thursday evening, February
10, the fifth number of the lyceum
course will be put on at the high school
auditorium by the Little Playhouse
company of Cincinnati.
There are five members in the COM
pany, Misses .Zaama Staatcr, Violet
Freema,l, Beatrice Keil and Messrs.
Douglas MacKaye and Reed Chap
man.
The first half of the evening will
be devoted to musical program.
Douglas MacKaye sings Harry I.au-
der songs in costume and, as he is a
clever comedian, these should be very
entertaining. Reed Chapman has a
voice Of beautiful quality and will
sing ballads both Of up-to-dste and
old-time popularity. He and Mr.. Mac
Kaye will also give number Of duets.
Miss Staater is a soprano soloist and
as such will do her share of the en-
pertaining. s.. - $.
The second part Of the program is
what makes this such popular lyceum
number wherever it is given, for the
company presents a three-act play.
It puts on what is called a portman-
teau production Of the great allegor-
ical drama, sThe Passing of the Third
Floor Back"
This wonderful drama by Jerome K.
Jerome was made famous by the great
English actor, Sir Forbes Robertson
There are a number here in Prince
ton who have seen Forbes Robertson
in this remarkable play. To them this
will be pleasing repetition, and to
those who have not enjoyed that priv
lege this is a rare opportunity, such
as seldom comes to small town, to
see this masterpiece. The play is
smoothly and naturally written with
many touches Of humor. It is called
one Of the greatest sermons ever
written, yet is a great favorite with
theatergoers everywhere.
People hocked to see it wherever il
was played and it has been shown ir
every large city Of the world. Il
was played for over two years in New
| York and Chicago.

A Tribute to TTnco1n

| Lincoln's life was like unto the Won
derland Of the Yellowstone-just few
PAGES from the chill sorrows of the
raging snowstornls down to the joyous
buildings of the tepid springs. One
day he trod paths bordered with lilies,
the next he walked majestically among
the pines. Tenderly he stopped to re
trieve the tempest-jostled nesting;
mercifully he ordered forward the en-
gines Of war. ].
Untutored ACCIDENTALLY, how bril-
liant his education-if education

for exalted service. Unacquainted

tion upon military necessity, I invoke
the considerate judgment of mankind
and the gracious favor of Almighty

tai proclamation.
With unparalleled magnanimity he
generously forgave personal criticisms.
IF Stanton said / am a fool, I must
be, for Stanton is almost always

the gossiping busybody. Out of his
judicial reflections upon the welfare
of the republic in her hours Of peril
came his natchless cabinet Seward,
