Editor Howard inaugurated a guessing contest con-test and offered a prize one year's subscription to the first person who guessed the name of the delinquent.

A package of presents was :iven them, accompanied by a jovial speech in the Dan!sh language by Miss Ellen Anderson. An inventory invent-ory of the package disclosed a high chair, a pair of infant's stockings, two pairs of shoes for the baby. After Joe recovered from the shock he asked the question, with considerable injured in-jured innocence, "Do you imagine our family will begin with twins?" No answer was forthcoming, as Miss Anderson An-derson had net been posted on that branch of the situation. A splendid time was had, those present partaking partak-ing of a sumptuous repast that had been provided by the participants. Tw Plays Presented by Two Home Talent Ompaaies Ike Past Week. On Friday night last a fair-sized audience greeted the Springville Dramatic Association at the City Hall. The play selected for the occasion was entitled " A Fisherman's Fisher-man's Luck." In candor The Independent must say that the play afforded a revelatiou as to the possibilities to be expected of our home people in the dramatic art. The play was "put on"' in a manner man-ner that would reflect credit upon more pretentious companies. There 6eemed to exist among the players a friendly rivalry, each one in his or tier )' 'e striving to excel; and the re-.tt was all gave satisfaction, as was evidenced by the hearty applause accorded. To speak of each individual in the cast would require too much space However, it wiil aot be considered invidious if we say that Mr. Tuckett as ' Uncle Davie" made the most of a really difficult character, showing capabilities of no ordinary order. Mr. Patterson, as "Squire Hammond," carried his role with that ease which is characteristic of familiarity with the stage. Miss Julia Atleman and Miss Liziie liurch were both good, the latter surpassing many soubrets who follow the stage as a calling. Mr. Curtis and Mr. Ray Westwood were "well up," and the latter created much merriment. Miss Hattie Whetler made a good old lady, but would be seen to best advantage in a juvenile part. "Last and least," little Millie Whitehead, as "Little Nellie," was perhaps the best of all. For a child of her age to enunciate so perfectly as to be distinctly understood in all parts of a hall not famed for its acoustic properties is rare indeed. She did well and without embarrassment, and when she appeared in the audience after h' r pat t w . finished, she. wiis the recipient of nnrkr.i attention. Oi Tuesday night last a eomcdy-drama eomcdy-drama in five acts, from the pen of Archie Grahame of this city, was presented at the City Hall. As thU was the first "staging" of the plar, this writer Is loth to believe that it was presented to best advantage. In other words, there is good reason to brieve that tin author, noting the more favored points ii dialogue and action, will eventually bring these into greater prominence, while other parts may be toned down. There is a climax to each act that met with approbation last night, especially the ote in Act III, wherein a quotation from the Decalogue was used. The luale was not of the usual "happy termination" kind, and in tht respect, re-spect, at least, the author deserves credit fur leaving the beaten path. With the ladies and gentlemen who appeared ia the play this writer bas no personal acquaintance. E.ich, we presume, endeavored to appear well; but there were thase who should not have required such frequent assistance from tie prompter. Mr. Qrahame and Miss Crandall were well received, and deservedly so, in the leading rjles. Miss Ei ma Matson, as "Alics Brandon," displayed her talent to best advantage, aad was never id at ease, having her 'lines'' pern ei.. yi j f(t,.iig,nt co!i.pt-licii- Ik etj,u a :ler. i U Mae a ''1V!I " v,i-; iiewileiimg, isiiiiwitig the character to .

Muh Eiia Whu more, a "Lady Kran-don," Kran-don," was digoiiied, aad in tier appeal to "Verouico" (Miss Crandall) ia behalf be-half of her daughter, displayed emotional talent of no small order. The "Mitchell" of Melt Ilaymoud was all right, and the young man gives evidence that, with careful study, he has a future before him in stage work. Frank Parry as "Arthur Wins-low" Wins-low" excelled himself, the character being more suited to him than another in which the writer saw him a few nights since. Mr. DouaIl (lid well as "Abe," albeit he showed a tendency to "over draw" the character. char-acter. It is hoped the play will again be presented here with the same cast, and less friction, and to an audience of greater number.
