planned by Mesdames Byron Watkins

have a suspicion of the surprise- in
store for her until on her return at
7:30 p. m from a visit with a friend
on Scenic Drive, she found her home
taken possession of by a number of
her friends. The evening passed
very quickly with old-fashioned
games and several humorous read
ings by Mr. Gilniore, after which de
licious refreshments of Ice cream, cof
fee and cak8 were served. Following
this, Mrs. Watklns received a number
of packages, which upon opening she
found to contain dainty little tokens
of love and esteem.

High Schoolers
Stage Caimen
Between five and six hundred peo
ple filled the auditorium at the high
school Friday evening and witnessed
"Carmen," staged by the musical de
partment of the high school under
the direction of Miss Harris. Brll-
bridge timber Into place when the
fastenings broke and the men were
thrown Into the river. The companion
swam ashore, but Kramer clung to
the timber and was swept down the
Sacramento river. Boarding the
switch engine with a coll of rope, fel
low workmen raced down through the
yards and arrived at a lower bridge
barely In time to throw the rope to
the nearly exhausted man as he swept
past on the timber.
Some Illiterate dispatcher has had
all of the thunder bolts of the seven
liant costuming, elaborate stage set- neavens canea down upon mm ny
tings, excellent eating and creditable ' 'ocal railroaders. A train order stat
music, both solo work and chorus,
made the entertainment a most en
joyable and successful one.
The staging of an opera as difficult
as "Carmen" is a big proposition for
a high school of the size of Ashland
high, and the results obtained speak j
very highly both of the direction of
Miss Harris and the enthusiasm and
ability of the participants.
Miss Alice Beecroft showed marked
ability in her Interpretation of Car
men, a most difficult role. She was
by far the strongest character in the
opera. Merrill Throne as Don Jose
was also excellent, and the final
scene, the most difficult of the whole
opera, was staged with most realistic
action on the past of these two. EV
wood Hedberg as Escamillo and Pris
cilla Carnahan as Micaela pleased
greatly with their singing. To give
each of the minor characters the
praise which is due them would re
quire much more space than is avail
able. The choruses, which in all In
cluded over fifty voices, were well
trained and handled the difficult mu
sic of the opera with precision which
spoke of long hours of hard work.
The orchestra 1 accompaniment was
good, as were the selections played
between the acts by the high school
orchestra. The scenery for the sev
eral stage settings were made by the
manual training department and
painted by the art department stu
dents. Superintendent Briscoe in a few
words before the rising of the cur
tain stated that all of the work on
the opera had been done outside of
school hours, and that to the best of
h's knowledge the school work of
none of the participants had suffered.
He highly complimented Miss Harris
on her accomplishment.
Tuskegoe Singers.
Those who heard Booker T. Wash
ington when he was here a couple of
years ago will be glad to know that
some of his pupils and a member of
the faculty will be in the Baptist
church next Saturday night. They
come in the Interest of the Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial Institute.
AXXOYIXG KIDNEY ILLS
Make Life Miserable for Many Ash

There's nothing more annoying
than kidney weakness or Inability to
properly control the kidney secre
tions. Night and day alike, the suf
ferer is tormentel, and what with the
burning and scalding, the attendant
backache, headache and dizziness,
life is Indeed a burden. Doan's Kid

fort to many Ashland people. Profit
by this Ashland resident's experience:
Mrs. S. C. McDonald, 685 B street,
Ashland, says: "One of my family
suffered from a lame back and weak
kidneys. Dona's Kidney Pills
brought help after other medicines
had failed. After finishing one box
there was no further cause for com
plaint "
