CHESTER SAXBY AGAIN SHOWS MARKED ABILITY Delivers Serlo-Comlc Oration Before Students of High School on Class Day Chester Saxby of the Moine high school who won the state oratorical contest at Champaign, gave a serio comic oration at the Class Day exer cises of the Moline high school Wednesday night.

He presented Kenneth Tilton with a pair of scissors because the latter was voted the biggest "cut-up" iir the class. He also called Decatur McDannell the most popular boy in the and presented him with a spoon, upon which the school building was engraved. The Spoon oration delivered by Young Saxby is interesting and shows fhe ability of the young orator to get the humorous out of life. It is also Interesting on account of its construc tion and fiction. The oration Is given below: The Spoon "The class of 1909 has run its course, Now we are about to separate.

For years I dare not say how many, perhaps I could not count them we have traveled the pathway of learning. True, we have not always been together, for some have pursued the flying course with hot steps, while others have been content to linger awhile among the shaded lanes before facing the barren stretch ahead. But at last, by hook or crook, mainly by crook, we have arrived at the forking of the way and turn to cast one last glance backward over our four ages of high school training. We see the infant freshman toddlng unsteadily through the mazes of algebra, with palpitating heart; next the ripening sophomore, careless and brainless, yet slowly grasping the rudiments of education; then the strutting junior, glorying in his prowess, and full of hope that some day he will rise to even greater heights; and lastly the noble senior, sage and dignified, now on the eve of graduation, his task completed and the victory won. But he is not altogether happy for he is leaving behind many strong ties of friendship.

And so he has reached the finish which is commencement. "But before we depart on different ways, perhaps never to meet again, it devolves upon me to bestow upon one of our number, the scissors of Jocularity. We have been ceaselessly amused by this person's continuous vandeville, and feel it an honor to show our appreciation of his witty services. Let me assure you that solemn as we may appear this evening we are wearing our company, manners and faces, and 'are not what we These grave visages are but masks to hide the overflowing spirit of a gay crowd, and a joke's a joke for a' that. "Therefore I take pleasure in presenting to Kenneth Tilton, our 'cut-up kid' the emblem of his trade.

Take my advice, and whenever you have recourse to this instrument, please respect the ordinance and gather up the scraps. "My part of this program is still unfinished for I have yet another gift to present. This gift Is the spoon of popularity. In every class some one stands out prominently among his fellows as the best liked and the most popular. We are fortunate in having with us one who has earned the respect of the entire 'class by his ac complishments, and these accomplish ments are nothing more nor kbs than cheerfulness and a merry smile.

You may think these insufficient grounds for such an honor, but to those who hold it so let nie say that most of us are living barometers of human feeling. Wrhen trouble is seen approaching in the distance, down go the corners of our mouths, and a color closely resembling Alice blue pervades our countenances. 'It is easy enough to be pleasant. When life runs on like a song, 'But the man worth while, thee Is the man that can smile, When everything goes dead "Decatur McDannell, it is my privilege to present to you this token of the friendship of your class, and with it we send the wish that you may always retain that whole-hearted good will for everybody that has been yours in high school, with a cheery word for all, making friends everywhere and keeping them, and since no man is useless while he has a friend, may success be yours." cities, and has the congratulations of a great many acquaintances.

COUKT NKYVS OX OPPOSITE PAGE AT FLEEING PAIR burglars visit four places in moline Turing sight Indications Arc That They Were Inexperienced Are Successful Only at Larson's Grocery Store Four burglaries were unsuccessfully attempted In the city last night, evidently by a pair of men who were rather new to the business. The places visited were: Carl E. Youngren's cigar and notion store, 811 Fifteenth street.

John Smith Son's dry goods store, Sixteenth avenue and Fifteenth street. Sanford Larson's grocery, Fifteenth avenue. Maher O'Malley's undertaking parlor, Fifteenth street and Eighth avenue. At Youngren's at 1:45 a. Mr and Mrs Morehouse, who reside upstairs, were awakened by a disturbance downstairs and shortly after getting up to see what the trouble was heard a crash of glass.

Mr Morehouse looked down the stairs and found no one near. He could see that the glass had been cut when he examined it closer. A large pane had been taken out on the south side of the store. The burglars had evidently been frightened away, because nothing in the store was missing. A gold watch and 25 pennies in the caah drawer were untouched.

Night Officer Chris Torkelsen telephoned Youngren, who came up to the store, but could do nothing more than board up the window. Fired On By Officer The dry goods store of John Smith Son was entered by the burglars who had just got inside when they were frightened away by someone near. Patrolman Walllne came running to the spot and saw the two men as they fled down Sixteenth avenue. Walline pulled out his revolver and fired several shots at the fugitives who only ran faster when they heard the reports. A couple of more people who had heard the noise joined In the chase for a short distance but it was given up as the two men scattered and fled away into the darkness.

The officers made a lengthy search but discovered nothing which would lead to the identity or whereabouts of the burglars. Get Money nt Last At last what is believed to be the same pair got a little change. They broke into Sanford Larson's grocery and secured 3.50 in change for their trouble. They got in by breaking out a rear window and crawling through into the store. Nothing else was missing.

Try Poors Leave The doors of the Maher O'Malley undertaking parlors were tampered with this morning a little later, but the burglars couldn't get in. The front and back doors were tried. The men were either frightened away by the officers or left without any reason. The people who lives upstairs heard them trying the doors. The police are to be on a sharp lookout tonight for suspicious characters and anyone outside of the proprietor or' police who is found trying a door or acting in a suspicious manner Is apt to be taken up.

MOLINE IN BRIEF Mrs Frank Panner, and baby son, and mother. Mrs Yocum left at noon today for Peoria, where they will spend a few days as the guests of friends.
