llDown on the Farm,, At TTS IeSc-ene I Azariah Keep was a raving scream, Th0 deaf he had to holler, P001 Jerry in a sort of dream Let his girl love a city feller. Lizy Ann thought ltwas hot When she would come to borrow. And Silas thought a mighty lot, ,Bout Hettyls early sorrow. Mrs Rutledge shunned them all, tAlViry was too greem Isabel at her every call Would nod and bow and preen. Verbeny gathered all the herbs And eavesdropped by the way. Mr. Rutledge in scanty words, Said what he had to say. Harold the lucky lover Lost his loving bride; But he found her under cover, And thus he cried. lTll never, never leave you, My ownest own, my dear. Illl alawys, always love you? And he wiped a furtive tear. 'l'u'cn 1y

Ethel Adams Verbena, thired girl on the farml . . .Esther Bienfang Of all the achievements of the year none has been more strik- ing or succesful than that of the College play, Valley Farm. It was a comedy in four acts. Harold Rutledge tRoy Wend- ' e10, a New Yorker, has captivated and won a charming country - v ' girl, Hetty Holcomb tAlice Howardl, whom he took to the city. Haroldis mother did not approve of the marriage and did all in her power to alienate the young couple. Hetty, after bearing many insults, determined to return to her home with Perry Dean tHarold Grayl a former lover, who had been degraded, robbed and deceived by some gamblers in New York where he had followed Hetty. Rutledge had been led to believe that his wife did not care for him, and he became infatuated with Isabel Carey, a former sweetheart but he awoke to the realization of his folly and returned to Mullen- Ville for his wife who received him reluctantly at first, but when .5 he assured her that he still loved her, and that his mother was sorry for the part she had played in the unfortunate affair, and that he would provide a home of which she would be the head, she gladly assented to his requests. Miss Dills, the director, deserves much credit, having worked hard and sacrificed much for the success of the play. ' The numbers furnished by the orchestra between acts were especially good, Mrs. Howells deserves much commendatlon for her splendid leadership and great talent displayed 1n her work. TwenIy-mm
