In our city of the dead, and the home
they made beautiful with terraces,
rare trees and flowers and made mem
orable and distinguished by lives of
ISeful works, lots eoiue to us ami we
must not let it retrogade. Tins was

another distinguished citizen, Dr. Jno.

a long life of public Service, lias
erossed over to Btal city "not made
with hands". At his death it was
lurchnsed for its present splendid
purpose, by our trustees to whom we
i'turn many, many thanks. Surely
no pupils were ever favored with
wiser ami better friends than we have
had. Through the years to come,
wherever we may he. fondly cher

have been connected with us. com

invoke for them heaven's richest
blessings.
Dy faithful works and earnest
lives, true to duty, we must keep
Simpson Hill" up to its high stand

aspiration which thrilled the souls
of our ancestors in the bug strug

should draw new inspiration of pa
triotism and find mw ardor for the
preservation of tie free institutions
which came to us through the bap
tism of lire and blood. I heartily
make the assertion that every public
spirited man ami woman in our city
rejoices in lite completion of this
building dedicated to tlte great cause
' :' training the young. They rejoice
not only in the architectural beauty
i.d the potent though silent influence
in the students gathered in its walls,
but they rejoice because we have ait
other monumohl setting forth the
fstct that our citizens are alive to lite
importance of educating the young
lor the service of their generation,
's you pass through this splendid
building, and look over the appliances
tor the comfort and health of teachers
and pupils, you have a right to be
proud of your work. Many of you
doubtless will be struck with Im
provements and advantages since you
were school children, and remember
how often yon sat sleepy and tired
horn the effects of bad ventilation.
Here the best thought has been ex
, ended upon the science of heat and
ventilation: and the health of the
pupils is protected in every possible
way.
We, the class of 1 !??!<. should dou
bly rejoice in the honor of being first
to graduate in this beautiful building;
but we should rejoice with watchful

< la--^ Prophecy.
? By Pearl I'lurdy.)
Friends and school-mates, give at
? ation to 'he words of the prophet,
fbr il bus been determined thai Ihe
destinies of this, the graduating class
; Ishall be revealed unto me.
One day while I was Off at college,
I was sitting by the window and while
i was thinking of "Home, Sweet,
? ionic" ami dreaming of by-gone days,
the curtain <>i the past seemed dimly
10 fade away and the one revealing
the future heran slowly to rise.
I was walking down the streets of
a certain large city. All the people
seemed strange, and I knew no one
and even the sign boards were new
, iid everything appeared so bewilder
ing to. a ?stranger within their
tales." when suddenly one sign al
tractcd my attention and drew me
near enough to see it distim tly. it
read:
Hetty Lake. Palmist. Reliable
idViCC given Oil business, domestic
lind love affairs. PUSl satisfactorily
. veal cd or money refunded." < If
our so, i recognized iho name in I?'
thai of inj old friend and class-male.
After proceeding into (lie heart of
this busy city. I suddenly on III 0 upon
ii great crowd. My firsi thought Was
i (iglil or a circus but nay. hay! it
,!S (he voice of a woman, I drew
? ear and when i had pushed my way
far eiVOUgh In, whom should mine eyes
behold but our i|ulel and shy class
)1 ale. Mary Teague. who With flushed
face and Hashing eye was vehemently
leading for woman's suffrage nlld
irging bei crowds of hearers to de
mand eipial rights with nmn.

Hid a School bouse coims into view.
The pupils are having recess, bill
? ow a lull, black-haired, woman comes
10 the door and rlllgS a hell w ben all

\s I was always Interested in edu
, ?(Ion, 1 decided to v islt 1 Ills little
. |.I house and make the aeqiiaitit

I approached lh? steps and the teach

tall, black-haired man got up to take
his text. I magin?* my surprise when
1 beheld the person of one of our okl
graduates <>i' '09, Ernest Machen.
Wonder never ceases for when he
had finished the sermon, he an
nounced that our returned missionary
from China, Miss Willie Dorroh, would
give us a little talk on. "Missions and
the progress of our work in foreign
holds.a great many of the congre
gation left hut 1 remained to hear my
former chum and school-mate, whom
I had not seen in so long a time.
The next day. in glancing over one
of the local newspapers. 1 saw where
cards had been issued, announcing
the approaching wedding of two of
the most popular young people in
town on Wednesday evening at 8:30
o'clock. I thought, of course, it
would be useless to read further as
1 Would not likely kllOW the couple
but on the appointed evening, when
all the people had assembled into
church, and the wedding march was
started. 1 saw my dear old companion,
Mary Sullivan come slowly down the
aisle where she was nut by another
of our school-mates, Mr. Kugono
Brown, and they were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony.
On the following afternoon. 1 went
into a hook-store to get a good novel.
The clerk picked up two or three
hooks and said to me, "Have you read
any id" I.aura Roberta Dorroh's
works?" I answered "No." so he
showed them to nie. They were en
titled. "Ways ami Means of Growing
Tall." and a book on "How to Klirt
with Vein' Kycs." I took these two
ami after reading them, I recognized
the characteristics of one who had
been one oi' my school-mat ts and
friends.
livn Colemnn next appeared carry
ing a satcln l in which are powders,
paints, etc., to make the Ugly, beauti
ful. She goes from bouse (o house
and the pt opb buy quickly on read
ing the testimonials of some of the
(.aureus high s> hool pupils, and also
on account of hearing the agent re
late her ow n experiences and success.
Her reward should he great on ac
count of the happiness she creates.
Hut all this fades away, and I pass
a very small house. On the porch
on a little table sits a howl of a dozen
or two of gold and silver fishes. In
a little cage hanging from the top of
the house are three canaries, and out
of doors are dogs of every descrip
tion. Hut on the porch nits a little
woman, dressed in a very plain, yet
neat black dress, while purring all
around her are cats of all sizes.
Now. of course, you know who this
is. hut for fear that you may not rec
ognize her. I'll Bay at once that it is
Ten nie Madden, the old maid of Mad
dens Station.
The next thing I saw in my vision
was Kitty Owlngs and Clara Daven
port in nn insane asylum pacifying
the inmates with their quiet and gen
tle voices.
Then I se,. Imogen Wllkes, having
been added unto the faculty of Win
throp No: mal and Industrial college,
teaching geometry in her quiet and
tender manner. All who study under
In r shall he well versed in this lesson.
Still wonders increase and I looked
again and behold, I saw a gnat, big,
red-haired man in a law ofllCC giving
dictation to a little, gray-haired wo
man, whose face seemed familiar to
me. After noticing these two per
sons lor quite a while. I walked right
up to them ami extended my hand.
Still I did not recognize either of
them. However, the man introduced
himself and then his stenographer.
You may imagine my astonishment
when he gave his name as Yates
Drown and his stenographer's as Ad
dle Shealy.
Now. i have finished the prophecy
of all of the tenth grade except my
self, hut of nn- it shall he written in
other hooks ami told by other people,
for it is not given to any one tu per*
ceive her own future hut only the
failures and successes of others. So
now I will leave it to other prophets
to ton t -II my future..
Whereas, wb the mem hers of the
graduating class of the LaUreiis high
