the audience don't look at the stage;
they look at the little book.
This is what the three saucy old
men are saying:
o how unhappy is this (now stand
ing before us) King!
o Fate! With what dark clouds art
thou about to overwhelm Cor perhaps
to soak him).
o what grief is his; and how on the
one hand shall he for his part escape
it. Oh, woe, o anxiety, Q grief, O
woe!
So the chorus groan and the King
keeps bowling, Ale, ale, ale, and after
they've done it long enough, the three
chorus men walk out one behind the
other like the figures on an Athenian
frieze, and the King is left alone.
He speaks (and a footnote in the
book SAYS that this speech is one of
the finest things in Greek tragedy:
What awful fate hangs over Cor
perhaps overhangs) me this unhappy
king.
What sorrow now does the swift
moving hand Cor perhaps the revolv-

Where shall I turn? Whittier shall

hands straight up in the air and cries:

A census of the equestrians who go
daily to Rock Creek and East Potomac
parks would make you think that
most of the cavalry officers of the
United States were stationed in Wash
ington.
Fort Myer affords plenty of cavalry
horses for the use of officers who de-
sire to ride for exercise, while there
are at least three local riding acade-
mics which maintain several hundred
saddlers. The National Capital horse
show, which is held each May at the
Arlington show grounds, is largely
prompted and sponsored by prominent
Army officers, many of whom ride
their best mounts in these show-ring
contests. The Washington Riding and
Hunt Club and the Rock Creek Hunt
Club number on their rosters the
names of many military leaders.

Winning the Championship in Woe

TIME Greek drama, as everybody
knows, possesses a majesty
that we do not find elsewhere
II 1t has loftiness, a sublimity
to which no later theater has at
tanned. Anybody VINO has seen the
play of "Alcestis' put on by the
senior class of Podunk High School
will admit this at once.
But though the Greek drama is not
presentsd in our commercial theaters,
it still fourishes in our institutions
Of learning.
The opening season for the Greek
drama in the college is the month
of February. This gives the students
four months to learn the Greek lines,
and is based on a piece-work rate of
five words a day.
Let US, therefore, transport our
selves in fancy to the winter evening
in college town when the Greek
play is to be put on by the senior
class in classics.
Entrance to the auditorium is ef-
fected in two ways-either by ticket,
for those who have tickets, or with
out a ticket for those who haven't got
n ticket. When we are well inside
the place we find a large placard, Wis
ible only to those who have got in,
announcing the attraction:

you to say old dog?
They did indeed.
Are you perhaps under the impress

In that case you never made a
bigger mistake in your life.
Let me know it and if indeed have

The King lifts his hands up in sor-

might say, in fact, he had had plenty.

They should be hopper fed grain
