f-1 wers Puts Us in Christmas Spirit.
Montaville Flowers interpreted the
great Dickens Christmas Carol story
to a good sed audience of Ivceum
course goers at Seaver's hall last
evening and the universal judgment
is that for a thing of its kind. Mr.
Flowers' reading was the best that ever
appeared in town. Mr. Flowers is
more than a reader. His illustrative
acting is so fine that one character
after another is oresented to his
audience on the stage. Last evening
Mr. Flowers presented Scrooge, his
nephew. Bob Cratchett. the. ghost of
Marley, the othr spirits and a dozen
less noted characters in this great
Christmas story in rapid succession,
covering the heart of the whole story
in an hour and a half. Through it all
the "udience was led with intent
K.terest, moved almost to tears at
times and again swayed to laughter.
Dickens' great story will be better
understood hereafter by Mr. Flowers'
hearers and the Christmas spirit more
nearly hold out the year around.
What War Costs.
A secretary of a peace association
says: "The college education of a boy
or girl. $1700. goes up in smoke every
time one of the big guns on a warship
is tired. We often hear it said that
the discipline of the navy is a fine
thing for boys, but as a matter of fact
six per cent interest on the value of
one dreadnought would keep every one
of them in colleges or technical
schools where they might be taught
some really useful trade. One per
cent interest on the value of a dread
nought would pav the combined sal
aries of the college preside nts of the
country. The cost of all these things
is so stUDendous tic ).we can't realize
it. If the war rir of Europe were
piled up in $1 bi I is" it would make a
stack 104 miles high. All the books in
all the libraries in the United States
are not worth as much as one warship. "
