In its composition work the ninth grade in our school has for several weeks been studying Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice" and in order that the pupils might the better understand it, Miss Koner has been having them act the characters. They all enfVred so thor oughly into the spirit of the work that it was decided to give the court scene publicly, and in costume, asking only 10 cents to defray the expenses. Last Friday evening the drama was enjoyed by a good-sized audience in the high room. Miss Koper gave a brief, ex- 1lanatory talk on the subject, followed y a selection on the piano by our gift ed young musician, Miss Fitzgerald. Four young ladies of the class then gave each a synopsis of the preceding scenes in a concise manner, as intro ductory to the court scene. After the beautiful "M id Summer Night's Dream" by Miss Fitzgerald, this memorable and wonderfully interesting act of the trial of Antonio was rendered so nicely by the clans that it seemed quite Keal istic. Talent for this work is not wanting among its members and we wish to congratulate Miss Koper on the perfect success of her efforts. OBITUARY. Sarah Fleming was born at Lake port, Mich., June 27, WYi.

The game at the bowling alley last Tuesday evening was a disappointment to all concerned, with the exception of the lookers on. To them the contest was most interesting on account of the score in each game being close. Where the disappointment came in was: lirst, there should have been live men on a side from each of the lirst and second wards to compose complete teams, but instead were only four on a side and it was necessary to take in other players to make up with. This game was not a Hur test of the superiority of the two wards. Secondly, uusty js a discour aged boy and is almost heartbroken. In fact he was 60 contident of winning with his' colts that when the final clash came and the poor boy was shown his side was beaten he fainted. F1KST WAUI Henry Welch.. ('has. Welch... Geo.

Gardiner on the occasion of his presen tation of Victor Hugo's chief character "Jean Val Jean." Mr. Gardiner is of commanding ap pearance. ills cnoice or words Is good, and altogether ones impression of his translation of the chief .character in the book "Les Miserables" is an excel lent one. He commenced by giving the early history of Jean, gradually leading up to the time when he was forced to steal a loaf of bread to feed his sister's hungry children. For this he was sentenced to live ears labor in a galley.' For attempting to escape four times he was further imprisoned fourteen years, making a total of nine teen years spent at the oar. He was pardoned and returned to his home, llecause of the kindness of a bishop, he forsook his sinful ways and tried to lead an honest life. He had many a struggle but in the end he conquered, and his convictions reigned. He died peacefully in the presence of his adopt ed daughter and her husband. There are none but words of praise for Mr. Gardiner's rendition of this character who became sinful because of the force of circumstances. THE CITY OF YALE-NO. 4. On Ash Wednesday the lirst day of Lent services were held in Sacred Heart church at 8:30 o'clock. Though the roads are near impassable about 100 gathered from town and country to as sist at the Holy Sacrilice of the Mass and to have the Lhssed ashes placed upon their heads. The day takes its name from this ceremony. After an introit and four collects or prayers in which pardon and mercy are implored for the penitent, the people approach and kneel at the altar rail and the priest puts ashes upon the head of each saying memento homo, quia pultUexet in pulcenm ccrtcrin, that is ' Ke member man that dust thou art and to dust thou shalt return. The ashes for this ceremony is obtained by burning the palm which was blessed on I 'aim Sunday the year before in memory and in honor of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Ashes is a sign or symbol of frailty and humiliation. Job said "I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes." It is in this spirit of humiliation and to acknowledge that they are conscious of their frailty that the people present themselves for this ceremony and are made to feel the necessity of doing penance for their sins. Abstaining from meat on certain days as well as fasting is done by way of penance. COMMUNICATION. When the late Lon DelVel died, he left surviving Mm a wife but no child ren. He also left a farm of HO acres. According to our statute the wife would only take one-half and the brothers and sisters of deceased would take the other half. Mr. and Mrs. De Feel had been married several years and had accumulated the most of the property during their married life, and it would appear as though Mrs. DeFeel should be entitled to all of the property particularly when all brothers and sis ters of deceased were wrll situated in life. But two sisters, Mrs J. H. Moore and Julia Ferguson and the children of George DeFeel, deceased, obliged the widow to pay them each S0O.00. The rest all quitclaimed to the widow with out consideration. Joseph Carless. ATTEMPT TO ROB EMMET BANK.
