FRIDAY, MARCH a«. 1913 One of the most pleasing pro ductions seen on the local stage in sometime was the presentation on Monday evening of "The Prin cess," dramatized from Tenny son's poem with which every col lege student is familiar. The dramatization was made by J. T. Jerome, principal of the William ston Graded School, and was one which showed a remarkable skill in dramatic art. Mr. Jerome brought forcibly to the mind some of the most charming parts of the celebrated poem. The play was arranged in four acts, and in the first act one of the most amusting scenes was that when "Flotian," "Cyril" and the "Prince" changed to woman's attire in order to. enter the "Princess" school for girls. Their disguise was very clever, but as the poem goes, "Florian" was soon recoginized by his sis ter. The duel between the "Prince" and "Arac" was brought out, and Leroy Anderson was very effective as the wound ed prince. The following characters were impersonated: "The Princess" Miss Mary Dare Brown; "Lady Psyche" Miss Eva Peel; "Lady Blanch" Miss Ellie Wynne, "melissa" Miss Josephine Rob ertson; "The Prince, " Leroy An derson; "Cyril" Ollie Roberson; "Florian" Yates Dowell, "Arac" Maurice Watts: "Prince's father" J. T. Jerome, "Princess'father," Gilbert Peel; "Psyche's baby," Thelma Brown, and the young students of the school were a deVy of pretty young girls from the Gradded School.

There are men who are pos sessed of will power, plus en deavor— who enjoy climbing, who glory in achievement, who prefer the paths of difficulties. Men of this caliber are supplied with big stocks of courage. They enjoy nothing more the exercis ing of their brain powers, com bined with the putting of their physical prowess to the severest •test. To them the goal is ever ahead; they climb, not in order to say, "Behold me, the wonderful man!" They put forth their ef forts as self-imposed tests of their own powers, that, when they meet with success, they may thrill with the joy of achieve ment. * Ambition and to arrive somewhere Wwth while fires them to perform seemingly miraculous feats. To such men nothing seems impossible, except to "give up." The world awaits such men. It matters not who they are, where they come from—the world wants them because they are earnest, because they can make good. Such men come up from the ranks—they are not bound by destinies. They are not content to be among the ordinaries. They, there are others—we call men, who lack all the stuff known as "strength of character," who have human aspirations, but are totally minus the stability and definiteness of purpose, and who gradually become part of the machine. No oil of activity, no grease of exertion, no wheels of ambition to make the whole "mechanism of these men buzz with the joyous thrill of work! Such are the down-in-the mouth, the kind that give up at first knock of some un-expected fate. They have contracted the ha bit of fear—they are afraid to face defeat, or to fight against troubles by utilizing the brain power and the energy that nature has bestowed upon them for just such emergences. Such men allow themselves to be burdened with the belief that they are not capable-that the division is against them, and that luck is about as dependable as work. They have no inclination to do and become, no desire to follow any but the easiest course. They cannot understand them selves, but prefer rather to watch the procession and complain. Such men have tried, maybe, but defeat to them has not been an incident—it has been the finish. Defeat has left them afraid to face the dangers of life, afraid to go on, to fight out their own destiny, and they are lost in the circle. Every man must decide for himself whether or not he will pay the price, whether he will lead, or whether he will be rele gated to the over-crowded proces sion of ordinaries—the men who give up at the first obstacle that crosses their path.—B.
