The contest Friday night between the
Senior classes of Hrookville, Punxsu
tawnpy and Reynoldsvllle was a decided
success, from our standpoint. The con
testanU from the different schoolscame
here sangulno of success, but not being
previously aware of our ability they
have tasted the blttorness of defeat and
have gone home a wiser but sadder lot.
We rejoice over our victory because
wo have dofoatcd so worthy opponents.
Their worthiness was shown by their
splendid productions, and by the mag
nanimity with which they bore their
inability to win the prize. Truly, as
some one has snld, "to smllo in victory
is easy, In defeat heroic."
Our school has been working hard
and faithfully the last two weeks, for we
knew we had to put forward every effort
to win. But before the contest was end
ed, tt was a foregone conclusion that wo
were going to win. It was only a ques
tion of how many more points wo would
have than our nearest opponent : as It
was, wo had .14, Punxsutawney 2SJ, and
Brook villa 2.1.
The judges are to bo congratulated
on their wise decision, which has met
the approval of every just person who
heard tbe contest. We are glad to
state that our worthy County Superin
tendent gave eclat to the occasion by
his presence. Ho opened the contest by
making a fow appropriate remarks con
cerning applauso and announcing that
there would bo an Informal reception
for the High Schools In tho library im
mediately following tho decision of tho
judges.
We wish to note some of the special
features of the occasion.
The pupils of the preparatory and
high school had supplied thcmsulves
with canes and pennants which they
proudly and gracefully waved to tho
music of the orchestra during the even-In-
In order to add a litllo spirit and en
thusiasm to the occasion, tho pupils of
the uppor grades were planning to havo
eome songs introductory to the contest,
when tn the midst of tho preparations a
decree was issued by the board which
forbade any applauso, except by the ap
propriate use of tho hands. Of course
this Included yelling, but with all duo
respect to the directors and thoso in
authority over us, we could not restrain
our "pent up" enorglos throughout tho
evening.
Tho excitement during tho absence, of
the judges was at fover heat, not only
In the rooters' corner but in evory quar
ter of Assembly hall, and when tho de
cision was awarded us, our loader, Wil
liam Reynolds, gallantly led us thro six
hearty yells, which gave expression to
our feelings and voiced tho sentiments
of every supporter in the room.
No one would have thought Will
would have gono the wrong way after
leaving tbe balcony, but he did. How
ever he was gently "collared" by on of
the fair sex and sent spinning In the
right direction.
Who says the girls can't run? Why
the way they sprinted for the rostrum
would lead one to think they bad been
practicing for a hundred-yard dash.
The reception was not very we'll at
tended after the close of the contest
owing to tho fact that everybody was
excited and talking contest that Punx
sutawney had to leave, as they couldn't
hold (?) their chartered car any longer j
and lastly, that Brookvllle was trying
to charter a car to get out of town. But
a few of tho contestants did remain and
we wore glad to meet thorn and con
gratulate them on their efforts.
We were sorry to learn that some of
the Freshman Glee Club forgot them
selves and hissed when the decision was
announced. And we are equally glad to
acknowledge that it did not moot the
approval of the four contestants of that
school. We realize that they (the
Freshmen) are young and know not
what they do, hence we forgive them.
Admitting an honorable defeat Is
half tho victory ; and now Brookvllle
Btands second.
Can any one say a word against the
order on the left balcony Friday night?
No one had a thought of disturbing any
speaker. In fact we wore quite sympa
thetic and when some of the spcakora
got lost our feelings went out to them.
You can trust the boys and girls when
you treat them right.

THE BIG STORE
TTTITIIIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THE BIG STORE HAS
undergone a wonderful change. From a strong showing of
winter gooda and winter wearing apparel we are now showing a com
plete line of spring and summer merchandise. While this change is
visible in all lines and on every counter, nowhere is it so pronounced
as in our Suit and Skirt Department and in the attractive line of
Waisting and Wash Goods.
The new styles in suits and skirts cannot fail to please you and
the styles in our line of Waistings, etc., have given ample proof of
their merits. The Iiig Store has always endeavored to present to the
trade the very best that is produced both by the great American
manufactures and the foreign productions in such lines as in which
superior skill has ndt yet been attained by Americans. How far we
have been successful in this we now leave to the judgment of the
buying public. '
Wooltex People
HAVE again proven their superiority in
skill and their anticipation of the Amer
ican demand by the most stylish and most at
tractive line of Suits and Skirts ever produced.
That WOOLTEX has come to mean something,
is no Jonger a matter of consideration. And
why should n't it ? When an all wool suit made
by leaders in their line can be bought ns cheap
as a suit made in a Cheap John sweat shop or
peddled around from house to house in some of
the tenement districts in our large cities, then
why shouldn't you buy a WOOLTEX garment I
SUITS AND SKIRTS
Are made up in all the leading cloths in Voile,
Etamine, Broadcloth, Cheviot and Venetian.
They come in all prices.
Waistings and Wash Goods Material
ALL WOOL VOILES-One of this sepson'a most popular
fabrics, neat open mesh, $J.(K) anfJ $1.50 a yard.
ET AMINES Another of the new and very popular spring
weave9 $1.00 and $1.50 a yard.
VEST! CLOTHS For Shirt Waists. Perhaps the most
striking of the season's productions.....' 50 cents a yard.
KHARO CLOTH In whites and tans. Another of the
Shirt Waist fabrics most welcome to the tiade 25c and 50c a yard.
IN WHITE GOODS and Wash Goods our line is complete, including such
popular goods as Crepe de .Chene, Mohairc, Silk Cords and Silk'MulI, &c.
We are expecting this week another shipment of Mistrels and some Novelty
Waistings.
