Twentieth Century Club.
Questions for Friday’s -lesson.
March 23. on the last act of “The
Two Gentlemen of Verona.”
An emin *.it writer has sa;d that
nearly every musical term known in
Shakespeare’s time, was found in this
play. The club will name the terms
and where found.
Give opinion of the humorous inter-
ludes spoken by Julia in scene II.
Is the view of Sir Eglamour in this
act consistent with view of him in the
preceding act?
What is the temper of Valentine’s
reflections in scene IV?
What later drama do they antici-
pate ?
After Sylvia’s respue from the out-
laws do you see any weakening of her
protest against the wooing of Pro-
teus ?
Account for the willingness of Val-
entine to surrender Silvia to Pro-
teus.
In the tightening of cords that in-
volve Proteus up to the last, is there
any conclusion, consistent with com-
edy, other than the one Shakespeare
uses ?
Where then ,is the structural de-
fect of the play?
Is Shakespeare here more intent in
perfecting his art, than in developing
character ?
What allusion to nature do you
find in this play.

Pat Fox of Nix was in town Tues-
day and seemed in much pain. The
reporter asked what the trouble was.
Marshal Wells and Snap Woods vol-
unteered the information that Mr.
Fox tried to ride a wild mule and was
thrown off and romped on. Pat de-
nied the charge and said his wife had
him up about 3:30 in the morning to
eat breakfast and after breakfast he
went out with one of the boys to har-
ness the mules. Inside of the barn
was as black as a stack of black cats,
and he stumbled over a mule lying
down and fell striking his breast on
the mule’s hip. He said he thought
he had killed the mule but at day-
light the mule was found all right,
and hereafter he will wait for day-
light before going into- the barn.
It is a proposition to try to raise
flowers or a garden when chickens
are allowed to roam the streets and
fly right into your beds and scratch
up the seed as soon as they are plant-
ed or scratch up the plants as soon
as they begin to appear above the
ground. Everybody with chickens
should keep them confined to their
own premises, so they cannot bother
’those who are trying to beautify their
homes with flowers or reduce the
high cost of living by raising vege-
tables for the home table.
The race team of the Lampasas
Fire Department has been in training
for some time and the first run made
Monday evening. They made the run
of 175 yards and made all connec-
tions in 27% seconds. This is good
time for the first run and the boys
will practice hard from now until the
time of the state meeting and expect
to have a winning team at that meet-
ing.
Students Tear Kasier’s Picture from
Wall.
Washington, D. C., March 19.—Pa-
triotic students in Central High
School here today tore from the walls
of a class room a picture of Emperor
William of Germany and hung in its
place a photograph of President Wil-
son, decorated with two 'American
flags. The' Emper&rts likeness disap-
■ irearSff’^fefore'" ofHcers’ and the school
cadet corps had an opportunity to
present to Miss Marie Siebert, teach-
er of German, a resolution protesting
against the presence of a “murder-
er’s picture” and demanding its re-
moval.
Harry Roper, 15 years old, son of
Daniel C. Roper, recently appointed
to the Tariff Commission, led the agi-
tation begun several days ago against
the picture by turning its face to the
wall several times. Miss Siebert, who
is an American citizen, insisted it
should remain, saying that she in-
tended to use it to illustrate a lecture.
Then the cadet officers interested
themselves and they were ready to
act today when other students enter-
ed the room during a recess and made
the substitution.
School authorities are investigat-
ing the incident.

W. T. Ingram of Slater, Coryell
county, was here Monday on busi-
ness. Mr. Ingram has just received
a registered Percheron colt from Sen-
eca, Kansas, and will keep the same
for his own use. The colt is just
eight months old and weighs over
900 pounds. Mr. Ingram formerly
lived in this county and was the first
to bring the large draft horses here.
He is a great believer in the raising
of fine stock and always has good
stock on his place. It costs no more
to feed well bred stock than it does
to feed scrubs and the demand for
well bred is much greater.

Cotton Up $4.50 a Bale.
New York, March 19.—There was
a very sharp advance in the cotton
market here today, which was led by
new crop positions. October con-
tracts sold to 17.94 late in the day, or
$4.10 per bale above Saturday’s close,
while the new crop worked 65 to 68
points net higher. Liverpool was a
good buyer, while demand generally
was encouraged by the settlement of
the railroad trouble and it seemed to
be further promoted by unconfirmed
rumors of a revolution in Germany.
