For such time as memory can %

of the paStimes in orr hours of lei

soft pine store boxes were removed
from the sidewalks in front Of the
places Of business and a great blow
was dealt TO wood carving, but not
to sitting and splitting.
There were the public places,
places in which everyone thinks I've

HE is A COLLEGE GRADUATE.
From the Wheeling lntelligencer)
The dream of college education
and a college degree is a tenacious
one. The average man or woman
who is not fortunate enough to have
received the benefits Of college train
ing in youth usually regrets this
Circumstance. In numerous cases
we hear of men and women enter.
ing one Of the higher institutions 10
make the dream Of youth come true.
Not long ago woman almost 20
years old took UP course in one Ct
our leading colleges.
a man may achieve success ard
wealth, and may even acquire knoEl-
edge superior to that possessed by
the average college graduate, but the
college dream never leaves him.
There is something fascinating
about the thought of acquiring tho
accumulated knowledge of the wise
men of all ages and of receiving a
diploma testifying that the holder
has done the required mental work
successfully.
A striking exemplication OF this
is given in the case Of Everett II.
Hapeood, of Boston, who completed
bis course in the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology As years ago,
but did not graduate because ne had
not worked out a required thesis.
Recently he submitted the thesis,
and was graduated Friday. Presu-
mahly Mr.. Hapgood is now ap-
preaching three score and ten; at
least. the best years of his life are
gone, and it might seem that form
al graduation from his college, which
he left Is years ago to 90 out and
battle with the world, would be a
small matter But the thought OF
that unfinished thesis had apparent
" been in his mind all the time. As
a boy he had no doubt looked for
ward to the day on which lie could
say that he was q college graduate.
New, in his cid age, tho dream re-
turns and he makes it come true at
last.

Notes
A HARD PLAY WELL ACTED.

A HARD PLAY WELL ACTED.
Every production by high school
students which we see always
seems to be the best" that has
ever been given; and in that pro-
cess of improvement words Of
praise quickly are exhausted or be-
come repetitions. Last night was
no exception TO thA experience
Peg O My Heart is difficult
production for amateur effort, de-
manding finished acting, particular
ly in the two leading parts. Its
success depends largely upon the
ability OF the characters to get the
rapidfre wit and humor over to the
audience. at the same time gracin%
it with the widely separated charac-
teristics of the different characters,
every one of which by act and word
required much study. There is the
Tivaeious and tempermental Peg,
the blase Ethel, the aristocratic
mater. the typically English Alar-
ic, the uncertain Brent, the business
man Hawkes.. and the whole-souled
honest "Jerry" every one a charac-
ter which speaks as much by its ac-
tions and general bearing on the
stage as it does by spoken words.
To say that all these demands We're
we'll met is to give genuine praise
to the production ard the coaching
of it; and it may truthfully be said
that the cast did justice to the play.

Railroad, has announced that he
proposes to put it upon factory
basis with eight-hour shifts. While
railroad experts ridicule the plan,
let it be remembered that the Ford
plan to standardize a cheap automo-
bile was ridiculed. More than one
wise financier to whom the original
fiivver' proposition was presented
passed UP an opportunity to make
millions, when they decided that
Henry was an impractical dreamer
IN automatic locomotion. The
american tendency is to assign all
new ideas to the Kelley Motor cal

Marconis discovery and many
other successes at first got the

do for the line that connects the
Kentucky and West Virginia coal
fields with the lakes, one thing is
certain, and that is that the Ford
plan cannot hurt il. The old plan

old system had to let it go; the new
system young, untried, without
anything but cash and confidence
bought it. There may come sur
