"Engine 173 of a through
freight of the Atchison, Topeka

The selection from "The Mer-
chant of Venice," by Mies Willi
Mitchell, was well given. Sucl
-.elections are al vays interesting.
Perry Mullinax is not afra.d oi
doing more than his share. Thn
was proven by the faot that 1h
^ave a recitation instead of giv-
ing a reading, as he was callea
on to do.
After having heard John
O'Toole's reading we have no in-
tention of going to work on n
farm for our board.
J.jV. Cocannouer told of a love
affair and wedding in "Old Mis-
soury," in which a one-eyed
ground hog played a good part.
We were surprised to hear one
member of the society say that
the selection was true to life for
he had been there himself and
he knew."
Miss Lela Mitchell deserves
much credit for her oration.
