Straight Elalk with the Ehitnrn.
The graduating class of the Arcata
High School this year numbers 18.
County School Superintendent Under-
wood informs me that in all the High
Schools of the County last year the
number was 96, 60 girls and 36 boys.
For the same period there graduated
from the eighth grade 192 girls and
199 boysg and the attendance in the
first grade totaled 501 girls and 608
boys. These figures may safely be
taken as an average, since for many
years our population has remained
about stationary. In round numbers
they show that one out of- four who en-
ter the public school graduates from
the eighth grade and only one in elev-
en from High School. Also that the
percentage of losses is far greater
among the boys than the girls.
Many people will say that a gram-
mar school course is sufficient to
properly .mature an average citizen,
but I must respectfully contend that
even if all the pupils who enter the
public school pass the eighth grade,
instead of one-fourth of them, as
shown by Superintendent Under-
wood's figures, a High School educa-
tion is necessary both for the contin-
ued and proper development of the
mind and for the preparation of the
individual to take his place in the af-
fairs of the nation.
When a pupil leaves the eighth
grade he is scarcely more than a
child, for he has not had enough prac-
tice in thinking and reasoning inde-
pendent of the teacher's help and sug-
gestion. This is realized by every
girl or boy who leaves grammar
school and enters the High School.
It is here that he gains the ability to
think logically. Without this train-
ing he cannot be a satisfactory citizen.
Not only that, but the beauty and in-
finite richness of literature, which
broadens the mind, and furnishes it
with lofty ideals, remains to him a
closed door forever. For him Shakes-
peare is known only by name 5 and
Browning, Tennyson, Lowell, Emer-
son and scores of other literary mast-
ers have never lived. Without the light
which comes from even an elementary
knowledge of logic, higher mathe-
matics, and history, refined by rhetoric
and training in orderly methods of
thinking, which we acquire from the
debate, how can the ten out of eleven,
and more especially the three out of
four, become capable citizens? Or
are we to rely on the "good common
sense" of the American people, which
candidates tell us just before election
we have in such abundance, rather
than upon the enlightenment that a
suitable education would bestow on
our embryo voting kings-and queens,
also, in California, by grace of our
last legislature?
In a representative form of govern-
ment such as ours, the majority of
its citizens should be well educated,
because a democracy depends upon
the intelligence of the masses for its
preservation. Widespread ignorance
is the parent of prejudice, supersti-
tion, poverty and bondage. This was
fully realized by those who gave the
impetus to, and furthered the growth
and extension of our educational sys-
tem. Prior to 1830 much had devel-
oped in the line of education, but only
in a private way, and those alone who
had means could profit by it. How-
Eleven
ever, in that year our present public
school system was born in the city
of New York. It was a healthy in-
fant and grew amazingly and is now
so firmly established that people gen-
erally believe its birth co-incident with
that of the republic. However belat-
ed its arrival, the point is that it was
undoubtedly wisdom on the part of its
progenitors to give the American
children the best education possible in
the belief that we would have a safer
government, a happier and more pros-
perous people. The example of some
of the European countries was ever
before them, where the masses, reared
in ignorance and superstition, lived
in a state of poverty and serfdom.
Our public schools, once started, mul-
tiplied rapidly, until today we have
high schools, universities, normals and
other institutions of education. But
have we fairly reached the goal?
have we even fairly reached the goal?
1830 champions of learning, when
they foresaw the education of every
citizen of the nation?
Our statistics force us to say no.
What, then, is the reason of our fail-
ure? The sincere inquirer will not be
long in finding that it is mainly for
economic reasons that the majority
cannot continue their studies. Yet we
have taken some primary steps to-
ward their correction. For instance,
our own state and several others have
passed a law providing the grammar
and primary grades with free text
books. The method of providing
meals for children is not unheard of
in our country, and it is quite common
in France. However, we still have
a long way to go before the goal is
reached, for we see that only one out
of eleven gets the very necessary high
school education. This is to be de-
plored, for pure democracy can never
Twelve
exist so long as the education of a.
majority of those who make the laws
of the nation is not provided for.
What does that person do, then, who
is forced to leave school in his im-
maturity? He does manual labor for
a wage or else obtains a short prac-
tical knowledge of bookkeeping or
other business which will barely keep
him in bread and butter.
Which is most important-to rush
through life confining one's self to
the bread and butter phase of exis-
tence or to be so provided with the
necessities of life as to insure our be-
coming competent citizens? Most
certainly the latter, but how? The
answer is apparent: The state should
properly educate its future citizens at
whatever cost. To graduate but one
out of four from the eighth, and one
in eleven from the twelfth grade, is
intolerable. But this would over-
burden the government with expense,
you say. Alas, if that should be true,
and we pride ourselves on the wealth
of our country! .
Before giving up the problem as
impossible let us see if there is not
some vast waste with which we might
dispense. We cannot go far before
we find a tremendous waste as a re-
sult of the most hateful remnant of
barbarism that still lingers in civiliza-
tion. Our war expense this fiscal year
amounts to 433 million dollars, or 64
per cent of our national expenditure,
according to Allan L. Benson writing
in Pearson's magazine for April. With
the money we now annually waste in
war equipment we could educate ev-
ery child whom need oompels to leave
school. Instead of piling up on our
hapless descendents a debt they can
never pay and for which they could
not be seriously criticised if they did
not try, considering the fact that it
was negotiated without their know-
ledge or consent, we could give our
citizenship generally a twelfth grade
education. In 1889, 65 million dollars
was appropriated by Congress for the
army and navy. In 1914, twenty-five
years later, the appropriation is 235
million dollars. In 1889 we did not
have a battleship, and now we have
thirty-eight. For the Spanish-Ameri-
can War we were fitted out with five
battleships that cost 3 million dollars
apiece, which are now obsolete. At
present we are paying 7M million dol
lars apiece. In fifteen years they will
be 12 million dollars apiece, and the
battleships of today will be obsolete as
those of the Spanish-America War
are now. Thomas Jefferson, one of
the greatest statesmen this country
has ever produced, favored the limi-
tation of war expenditure to tangible
needs, as he saw the evils contingent
on a large national debt, and if he
were living today he would surely
view with horror our mad rush to
pile up an obligation we can never
repay. Every man, woman, and child
in the United States must pay 34.70
this year to make up the appropria-
tion for wars, past and future. David
Starr Jordan of Stanford' University,
a writer and thinker whose statements
cannot be passed over lightly, said:
"The waste of all governments on war
and the system of national defense
is worldwide. Through militarism the
world is living beyond its means."
"So long as we keep war imple-
ments on hand," contends Mr. Ben-
son, "the increasing temptation is to
use them. When we were practically
unarmed thirty-five years ago, we
were in no danger. Nobody tried to
T
attack us. Nobody dared to attack
us. Everybody knew that, if attacked,
we could overwhelm any nation that
should attempt to land an army upon
our shores. We could do the same
today. VVe need no navy. We need
no more than the skeleton of an army.
With such land fortifications as we
have, or could easily provide, nobody
could capture a city, and certainly no
nation would be so foolish as to try
to land an army among us."
Even though we should not con-
cede as much as as Mr. Benson, we
would be forced to admit the utter
folly of present war expenditure or
that contemplated for the future. In-
vention has brought forth a frailer
looking, inexpensive but 'vastly more
powerful instrument of destruction.
The evolution of the airship would
make modern warfare ineffective. A
single one of these aerial sailing ships
would destroy a whole fleet of bat-
tleships or endanger an army.
The money that we are wasting
upon military expenditure let us de-
vote to the ends of education. And
finally, if from a reversion of policy
from destruction to education, the
expenditure should still prove insuffi-
cient, I should be in favor of a direct
tax upon those who acquire the great-
est amount of wealth under our gov-
ernment, merely one of whom, with
his prodigious fortune, accumulated
in this glorious land of opportunity,
has scattered public libraries through-
out the country, California alone pos-
sessing over 95 of these costly insti-
tutions.
A single generation educated thus
would be sufficient to refine and en-
noble the world.

SUSIE ANDERSON, '14.
It was a dark, murky night, the
moon was obscured, no light was
visible except that which poured from
the little window of the Red Dog Inn.
This was where the stragglers, the
gamblers and the lucky but shiftless
miners of the surrounding hills had
congregated to spend the night in
riotous revelry. In the furtherest
corner a group of men were gathered
around a roulette wheel, watching
with breathless interest the revolving
disk. In another corner a game of
stud-poker was being carried on. The
curses of the gamblers, mingled with
the blue smoke of the strong tobacco,
made the air seem bluer than it really
Was. A few who were already over-
come by liquor were hanging on the
greasy bar, shaking dice, and the bar-
keeper watched them with greedy in-
terest through his small, half-closed
eyes, as he aimlessly' wiped a sticky
glass with a dirty piece of towel.
Suddenly the door opened and in
staggered an old settler, his face worn
and haggard, his eyes staring into
vacancy. He made his way to the
Sixteen
bar and demanded, "Something hot!
Rake,-something that'l1 feel like five
yards of barb-wire goin, down." A
hush fell over the noisy crowd and
the old man sat back in a chair. "I'm
a goner, boys: I'm a goner, I sure
am. Oh, you needn't laugh, Pedro,
you peg-legged cub, it's serious this
timeg I never spent such a night since
I hit Lucky Cut, no I haint. Yu'
know that thar old shaft that runs up
yonder under my shack? Well, that's
the place, that isf' He paused dra-
matically, for he saw that they were
impressed.
What a motley gang they formed!
But in spite of their rugged appear-
once, no one could wish for a more
attentive audience. Over at one side
stood Buck Lewis, who but a minute
before had had eyes for nothing else
except the little spotted cubes as they
fell incessantly on the liquor be-
smeared bar, now the dice box had
dropped from his hand and he stood
there with his mouth open, his whole
attention fastened on the speaker.
Pedro, the old Mexican card shark,
who held first hand in the game, who
leered at hisecomrades through his
small black fiendish eyes when he saw
them make a miss-play, and twisted
his long, curling mustaches till they
were almost torn from his pocket-
marked face when he thought that he
was going to lose, had now forgotten
the game entirely. He tried his best
to conceal his intense interest behind
the leathern mask of his face, but in
vain.
"Go on, you old blow-hard," he
yelled impatiently, and thus admon-
ished the settler began:
"For the last two weeks I've heard
a noise there-kind of er knockin'--
just a little, you know. I ne'er thought
much on it at first, 'lowin' it might
be that thar loose dirt a cavin' in agin
like it did before when I was a. work-
in' up on the hind shaft. But, blast
my buttons, boys, I turned in early
this evenin' becuz I got pretty well
fagged out tryin' to dig that thar
slough up the gully. Befor'en I got
half-way snoozed off, bang! went a
muffled blast, right under my bunk,
-sounded about ten feet down. The
first thing that popped into my head
was 'Merino's Gang.'
"They've been hangin' out up on
Split Ridge for some time back and
rememberin' the dust they kicked up
for me last fall, I knew sure it were
them. He said he'd come back, and
sure enough thar he were. Me, not
wantin' to be caught single-handed by
a gang of murderin' cut-throats, I
jest tell yu' what, it didn't take me
long to get to Sam Pike's lay-out. I
went up the side of that thar canyon
like a streak of greased lightnin' and
down the other like as if I was shot
out,of a sixteen inch cannon. Sam,
he was in bed and all was still ex-
cept for that thar durned ornery dog
o' his'ng he set up a howl fitten to
bust the canyon,'and Sam he yelled at
him. I went in, and when Sam heard
who it was and found out the trouble,
he got his men together with their
guns quicker'n no time and the seven
of us made our way up the hill jest
like sneakin' bob-cats, each one of us
thinkin' of the swag of government
money we could play with I if we
fetched the gang out alive.
"At the mouth of the shaft all was
quiet, we got out our darkened lan-
tems to look fur tracks, but thar
warn't any. Them thar fellers knew
their biz and had left no tracks. Well,
we went up a ways-'bout fifty rods,
--when we heard a noise, as if they'd
got out a hunk of dirt. I can swar
now I heard 'em talk. We all stopped,
all but that thar dare-devil, half-
breed Cock-Eyed Bob, he said he'd
fetch 'em. They'd played him dirt
onct and he didn't furgit it, nor 'the
reward neither, he didn't. Well, in
he went, and the rest of us, We jest
waited, holding our breathsg I just
thought I'd bust, I was that strung up.
We didn't hear much except that thar
knockin', but that was enough. All
of 'er sudden out comes Cock-Eyed
Bob, lookin' as if he'd been pulled
through a hole in a bad quarter. He
never said a single word, just sat
down on an old rail and hung his
head, jest like as if he was bereft of
reason. -
"The rest of us, thinkin' that the
scare had crazed him, left him sittin'
thar and crept on up the back holeg I
tell you what, we didn't make a rum-
pus, we didn't."
The old settler lowered his voice
to a husky whisper and leaned far
over in his chair, pointing to a knot
hole in the floor. "That thar noise
was right in front of us now, and we
Seventeen
got our guns leveled square ahead and
I gave Pinto Pete a nudge and he
flashed his lantern right onto 'em."
Again there was an expressive
pause. With dilated eyes and sagging
jaws the miners stared at the knot
hole. The old man sat straight in his
chair.
"Do you know what they was?
They was woodratsf'
With a muffled "I-Iell!" Pedro
limped out of the room into the black
night. .

Oh moon, that shinest o'er the haunts of men,
So cold and pale,

It came back again last night, that
was the second time I have even seen
it: the next time will be the last.
They have none of them ever
seen the black cat three times-and
lived. My grandfather, my uncle, my
father, all died in the same manner,
. and now I, too, must die.
' I think I must be going mad. Such
a thing can not be. But I am de-
termined to write down the whole
story. Then if I am found dead in
the morning that hideous statute may
be destroyed.
My grandfather, John Williams,
after whom I am named, was a col-
lector of curios. He had travelled
in many lands but had never visited
Egypt until the last of June, 1897.
He remained for three months and
then brought back to America a small
statue of a black cat. Three years
later he died. His last words were,
"The black catlf'
My uncle took the small figure,
and three months later he was found
dead in his home. The small image
came into my father's possession.
That was three weeks ago. To-night
he is lying dead, and yesterday for
the second time I saw the black cat.
Not the image, for even as I write it
stands on the table before me, but a
cat, a real cat, black as night, with
horrible glaring eyes. My grand-
father saw this cat. My uncle saw
it. My father saw it. And the third
time they died. Today is the third
day I have owned that image. I have
tried to get rid of it, but I can't.
It is nearly twelve. Near me my
lawyer sits snoring-soft, strangling
snores. My light is nearly out, but
I sit waiting, listening. I hear the
sound of padded feet on the stair and
the golden eyes of the image before
me seem alive with hatred. I can
write no more.

H! rugged Oak, that
has for ages
spread
Thy protecting arms
o'er nature's
matchless art,
Thou who hast brav-
ed the storms of winter and de-
fied
The elements that rage above thee,
Thou who hast patiently borne the
piercing rays of the fireworld,
Monarch of the wood,
Preserver of the goodg
Ever ' extending thy long bearded
branches
To the fleecy-lined floor of the Heav-
en above,
Call down a, blessing to those 'round
about thee,
Silently call to the One who has pow-
er,
Giver of sunshine
And all that is just.
Shelt'ring the wood-spirits that
dwell 'neath thy branches
With a toga wrought by a hand divine,
Of frolicking sunbeams and hazel
shade,
Covering with leaves when the fierce
winds of winter
Sweep o'er the earth like a fiend from
the northland,
,ulling the birds with melodious
music,
Swaying in rhythm to zephyrs in
Autumn,
Nourishing the off-spring that live on
thy life blood,
Lift high thy branches
Upholder of Heaven.
Oh! could it be that mortal man ever
In all this land and over the deep,
Could patiently brave the tempest's
blast,
Be pure and free,
Grow more like thee.
Unselfishly scatter kind seeds of
love
To those who have strength denied,
Look to our Maker and trust in His
might,
Ever as thee
Rugged Mountain Oak.

Browning's "James Lee's Wife" and Tennyson's "Maud"
Laura Campbell, '14.
Browning's "James Lee's Wife"
and Tennyson's "Maud" present in
the form of the lyrical monologue, two
distinct studies of character as de-
veloped by external and internal in-
fluences. Both poems are essentially
dramatic in spirit and portray "mo-
tives, impulses and passions in action"
as is necessary in a true drama.
"Maud" is the story of the love
of a man, told by himself. Through
a series of changing moods, envious
hatred on his part is mastered in
turn by love, jealousy, anger, despair,
madness and patriotic love. By reas-
on of the failure of a vast specula-
tion brought about by Maud's father,
his own father was ruined. This fi-
nancial loss, preying upon his mind,
finally drove the latter to commit
suicide. This is the situation at the
beginning of the poem.
It is not, however, the story which
is considered the chief theme of this
poem. Rather it is the development
of character influenced by an over-
mastering love. This development is
shown by the relation of the hero to
nature and to man.
The first stage or division of the
poem is that in which the hero is
struggling against a morbid gloom,
almost indicative of insanity. His
relation to both men and nature is one
of absolute and unreasoning hatred.
And hatred of men and nature means
madness.
"I hate the dreadful hollow behind the
the little wood,
Its lips in the field above are dabbled
with blood-red heath,
The red-ribbed ledges drip with a silent
horror of blood
And Echo there, whatever is 'asked her,
answers 'Death."'
These are the opening lines of the
poemg and these lines are sufficient
to determine the character of the man
who utters them. Surely there can
be no power strong enough to save
such a man, one who knows what he
is doing, and yet cannot resist himself
or his own weakness as he mutters,
"Whatl am I raging alone as my father
raged in his mood?
Must I, too, creep to the hollow and
dash myself down and die,
Rather than hold by the law that I
made, nevermore to brood
On a horror of shattered limbs and a
wretched swindler's lie?"
But with the coming of Maud the
tone of the poem is essentially differ-
ent. There is still hatred or at least
avoidance of man, but his relations
with nature are changed. For it is
true that nature may assume any as-
pect and that man's conception of na-
ture is but an expression of his in-
most feelings. And it is likewise true
that it is to nature we turn in all
our moods. h
"A million emeralds break from the
ruby-budded lime,
In the little grove where I sit-"
if 4: in nf in
"The sun looked out with a smile
Betwixt the cloud and the moor."
Such is his attitude toward nature
at the beginning of love, but with
man it is far different. There is no
change in his relations with them.
He has not as yet gained his true
place in the world. Nor is this
strange. For nature in all our moods
is our servant, a mere reflection of
ourselves, but men remain the same.
We must climb to men, but nature will
rise or sink to our level.
We have, then, up to this time been
Twenty-one
studying the mood of Maud's lover
and not his character which, so far
as we can determine, has not advanc-
ed from the weak, nerveless thing it
was, although it has undoubtedly
stored up force for a future rise.
In the next division of the poem
the development of mood of the lover
reaches its highest point. I-Ie sees
in all an ideal beauty and hope and
love.
"Come into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, night, has flown,
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate aloneg
And the Woodbine spices are wafted
abroad
And the musk of the rose is blown."
Ik uf in is
"For a breeze of morning moves
And the planet of love is on high."
In this high development of a tem-
porary joy all nature becomes alive
and rejoices with him 3 for
"There has fallen a splendid tear
From the passion flower at the gate,
She is coming, my love, my dearg
She is coming, my life, my fate.
The red rose cries, 'She is near, she is
near,'
And the white rose weeps, 'She is late!
The larkspur listens, 'I hear, I hear,'
And the lily whispers, 'I wait.' "
But at this point ceases the devel0p-
ment of mood and begins the devel-
opment of character. For from this
time we are chiefly concerned with
his attitude toward men.
And as -in the relation of the lover
to nature, so also do his relations to
men begin at the lowest stage, shroud-
ed in gloom. For he has killed
Maud's brother, and
"There rang on a sudden a passionate
cry
A cryf for a brother's blood,"
Now he is concerned with men and
not with nature and his despair is pro-
portionately deeper. He is at last
driven to total insanity. His ravings
Twenty-fwq, V
are terrible in their absolute, dead
hopelessness.
"Dead, long dead,
Long dead!
And my heart is a handful of dust,
And the wheels go over my head,
And my bones are shaken with pain,
For into a shallow grave they are
thrust."
x at is is x
"There is never an end to the stream of
passing feet t
Driving, hurryingg marrying, burying,
Clamor and rumble, and ringing and
clattery
And here it is all as bad,
For I thought that the dead had peace,
but it is not so."
At length an awakened love of
country rouses him from his mad-
ness and he speaks:
"It is time
That old hysterical mock-disease should
die."
And there is hope that he may con-
quer himself, for in his own words,
"As long, O God, as she
Have a grain of love for me,
So long, no doubt, no doubt,
Shall I nurse in my dark heart,
However weary, a spark of will
Not to be trampled out."
In fact he does conquer, for at the
close we hear him say,
"I myself have awaked, as it seems, to
the better mind:
I have felt with my native land, I am
one with my kind.
I embrace the purpose of God and the
doom assigned."
Thus we see that a true love has
changed a weak character into a
strong one and has saved a soul from
itself.
The story of "James Lee's Wife" is
far different, and yet in its essentials
it is strangely similar. Its main
theme is also the saving power of
loveg but it is the account of the de-
velopment which brings a strong char-
acter from indifference to mankind
into a true relation with men.
I
This story, dealing with problems
of character and thought, is told in a
few bold lines, brief yet vivid. The
whole poem is a series of extracts
from a life. They may come in suc-
cession by days or they may be chosen
at intervals, but the fact remains that
they form together a cycle of char-
acter development.
In this poem the first portion is
devoted to the study of the influence
of actual natural conditions upon
mood. This development of mood
may be divided into two parts, doubt
and certainty. '
Doubt to james Lee's wife means
dread and foreboding, which makes,
unconsciously through its own force,
all nature foretell sorrow and misfor-
tune. Nature, while seeming to pro-
duce this dread, is in reality forced
to assume its threatening aspect
through the strength of the wife's
m00d.
Ah, Love, but a day,
And the world has changed!
The sun's away,
And the bird estrangedg
The wind has dropped,
And the sky's deranged:
Summer has stopped."
In this mood nature, however
bright it might be, would foretell to
her harm and sorrow.
"Our fig-tree, that leaned for the salt-
ness has furled
Her five fingers,
Each leaf like a hand opened wide to the
world
Where there lingers
No glint of the gold Summer sent for
her sakeg
How the vines writhe in rows, each im-
paled an its stake!
My heart shrivels up and my spirit
shrinks curled."
At length she is forced to admit
that her husband has lost his love
for her, and she accepts this decree
in a manner which proves her innate
strength.
"Nothing can be as it has been before:
Better, so call it, only not the Same.
To draw one beauty into our heart's
core,
And keep it changelessl Such our
claimi
So answer, Nevermorel"
Change is the law of the universe,
and she submits, feeling that it is for
the best, thinking. however to herself:
"Only, for man, how bitter not to grave
On his sou1't hands' palms one fair.
good, wise thing
Just as he grasped it!" .
But with this certainty the changs
ing moods of the wife cease and the
development of her character in the
truest sense begins. Her love loses
its selfishness and extends to all
mankind. -
She leaves her husband and ap-
parently her love for him or her life
is a failure 5 but in spite of all she has
a perfect faith in a perfect love.
These poems are written by differ-
ene men whose viewsiand ideals of
life are far different. The material
and treatment Of the poems are not
alike.
But the conclusion reached by both
is essentially the same, that character
may be developed by the growth of
a spiritual quality,-love, hatred, fear
or jealousy. And this one determin-
ing quality or characteristic affects
a person's attitude toward nature and
toward men.
Thus we see that the mind alone
is supreme, the mind alone can judge
or reward our actions. The mind
can, it is true, be influenced not by
nature or by men, but only by itself
or its dominating characteristic. Na-
ture is our servant and assumes to
our eyes an aspect corresponding to
the conditions of our minds. Men
Twenty-three
as a whole remain the same, though
an individual man may "rise or sink
i' the scale."
Both poems, then, portray the con-
quest of a mind over all the influen-
ces which might drag it down. And
this victory is shown by the fact that
both the man and woman are brought
into a closer relation with men. This
alone is the victory and alone can be
the victory. For surely no character
can have reached its highest develop-
ment until it can take its place un-
abashed among its companions in the
world, only when it is "one -with its
kind."

In the beginning, Jove created day
and night, joint rulers of the earth.
and condemned them to pursue one
another in a circle forever.
Ages upon ages afterwards, weary
and blinded by Apollo's bright rays,
Nox, the Goddess of Darkness, glanc-
ed in disgust at the abhorred universe
which had caused the great misfor-
tune of her immortal life. The glance
rapidly became a fixed gaze, and the
feeling of disgust, one of admiration,
for she saw deep in the dark cool
shady heart of a sighing Redwood
Forest, Silver Tip, a giant timber-wolf
raise his blood-shot eyes to the stars
and give forth the mournful howl of
his kind. Three times the loud and
protracted wail rent the silence, echo-
ed and was lost in the distance, then
he laid -his head down between his two
great paws, his warm red tongue loll-
ing out between his white jagged
teeth and waited for the coming of
his pack, grey nose pointed to the
East.
He remained in this position until
midnight, his body almost concealed
among the fern and trilliums of the
Magic Circle where the wolves of the
North Country competed every year
for the leadership of their thievish
band.
On the West of the circle was a
huge boulder, overgrown with violets,
hairbells and fivefingers, while six
Redwoods, looming up hundreds of
feet into the sky completed the almost
perfect natural ring. The spaces be-
tween the old Giants were filled by
green salmon-berry bushes upon
which the luscious yellow fruit gleam-
ed out brightly in the moonlight.
Just as the moon overhead reached
a point directly above the center of
the Circle the bushes between the six
trees were pushed slowly and noise-
lessly aside, and the gaunt grey band
entered, forming an arena four deep
around old King Silver Tip, who had
guided them upon their kills ten years,
and who had in that time struggled
against, defeated and destroyed ten of
their number. -
Sadly he raised his face to the
Moon-Goddess and gave forth a dis-
mal, pleading howl as if entreating her
aid against Young Republican, the
strongest wolf in the region and the
would-be leader of the pack.
Fiendishly the wolves regarded him,
lapping their .tongues around their
lips. No mercy lit up their wicked,
green eyes but hate shone unreserved-
ly there, the hate of the stronger for
the weak. Well they knew that the old
King's experienced cunning and saga-
city might go for naught, pitted
against the strength and the litheness
of his adversary.
Slyly and silently Republican
marched into the ring, touched noses
with Silver Tip, and they both sprang
back to the opposite edges of the
breathing, snapping circle. Time and
again this happened until Silver Tip's
shoulders were covered with wounds
and Republican's with blood though
he himself was unharmed save for a
small scratch across his soft, black
nose.
The silence of the woods was brok-
en now only by the moaning of the
Redwoods and the clash of the rivals'
teeth. The onlookers thought that
the King's last fight was ended but
Twenty-five
the wicked, old fellow held yet anoth-
er trick in reserve. Heistaggered and
seemed about to drop, but when Re-
publican rushed towards him for the
final blow he found himself gripped
near the ear with old Silver Tip's
famous death-hold.
Gradually the young wolf stiffened
and when the nervous twitching of his
body had stopped the pack rushed on
the motionless usurper tearing him to
pieces.
Filled with horror at this sight
Night lifted her eyes from the Earth
and enchanted by the golden rays that
enticingly called her, began again her
slow pursuit of the ever-fleeing day.

' Part I.
Little-Dear-One was cuddled down
in the soft warmth of his cradle. He
laughed to himself as the dusky shad-
ows of evening closed in upon his
pretty room and the moonbeams peep-
ed in cautiously, laying their soft light
upon his face and hands.
"Yes," thought he, "there are so
many things- I can't do in the dayl
time, but when the Dream-Fairies
come, they take me everywhere and let
me do anything. Oh, how I wish
they'd hurry !"
Life seemed hard to this little child.
For he would try to climb upon a
chair and then mamma would say,
"No, no, Little-Dear-One, baby hurt.
Then he would get to splashing joy-
fully in a nice bowl of water, which
had been placed there by some
thoughtful person, when mamma
would surprise him by "no, nol baby
get all wet and take cold l"
So he lay at length in his miniature
bed. His eyelids kept getting heavier
and heavier. Could they have forgot-
ten to come? His tiny full lips quiv-
ered, and one big tear rolled slowly
from under a drooping lid. But no,
list, little one! A fluttering of gossa-
Twenty-six
mer wings, and behold two of the
sweetest fairies upon the window sill,
just above the clematis vine, which
touched them with its feathery foliage.
They had the softest, wee voices,
WX which, of course, just suited their size,
for they were no bigger than the
daintiest needle. Dream-o'-the-World
was dressed in a velvety-pansy gown
and Fairy-Heart in a silken butterfly
robe.
They nodded to each other and then
lifted their white wings and flew right
to the edge of the coverlet, which
touched the neck of Little-Dear-One.
"Now," piped up Dreatn-o'-the-
World, "which of us do you want to
sing you to sleep ?"
"Well, I don't know exactly, for I
like you both so Well that I can't tell.
But one of you sing at a time, first
Fairy-Heart and then Dream-o'-the-
World, and who-ever gets me to sleep
first, I will go with him.
Now Dream-o'-the-World had just
a little bit louder voice than Fairy-
Heart, and so it was not as soothing
as that of the other. They both took
turns and when Fairy-Heart would
begin to sing in a soft ripple of sound,
Little-Dear-One would get sleepier
and sleepier but soon Dream-o'-the-
Worldlwould pipe up in his louder
note, and the blue eyes would slowly
open again. And so in the end Fairy-
rleart triumphed and led Little-Dear-
One away to the land of the fairies.
Part II.
It was quite a long way to Fairy-
land and before they had gone very
far, what did they meet but a wee
coach of spun sun-beams, drawn by
eight of the fattest bumble-bees that
could be found. Little-Dear-One
laughted joyfully at such a really fun-
ny sight and the bumble-bees looked
around upon their little would-be
passenger, as they wiped the pollen
from their faces. But how in the
world was he to get into such a mite
of a coach, and for a second his little
flushed face clouded with childish un-
certainty. But lol all doubt vanished
as Fairy-Heart waved a silvery wand
above his golden head. If you have
never gone to Fairy-land you don't
know what a curious shrinking sensa-
tion Little-Dear-One felt. He kept
getting smaller and smaller until he
was just the least bit larger than the
fairies themselves, and then the coach-
man helped him in.
Oh, how delightful! They would
soon be there. A gate of cobwebs
swung open and two elves stood in
roses on each side. They nodded
their heads, spread their tiny silken
wings, and flew to the coach, perching
on each side of their visitor, as they
chattered to him in their piping tones.
"Oh, quick! let me out, so I can sa:
everything," exclaimed the child. So
they helped him to alight and he stood
upon a mossy carpet, which felt as soft
as down. All manner of flowers were
nodding as far as he could see, and
little fairy elves stood up in the flow-
er cups to welcome him.
Fairy-Heart accompanied Little-
Dear-One everywhere and at each
new sight he laughed a hearty little
baby laugh. ln one place he looked
upon a rose which was slowly opening
and a little fairy beamed upon him
from within the red petals. She had
been resting upon a divan of satin
swan's down with a coverlet of violet
silk. What a funny sight for the eyes
of a baby! The fairies would spread
their silken wings and visit from house
to house, first flying to a tulip-blossom
and then to a buttercup. birds flew
down from time to time, carrying corn
silk and spider lace for the dresses of
the fairy-women. They were singing
now in their sweetest voices. Butter-
flies were also bringing bluebell and
pansy satin to be made into fairy ball-
gowns. Bumble-bees were buzzing in
the honey-suckle blossoms, and as they
made honey, they stored it in lily
baskets which the ants carried to the
store houses of the fairies. l-le met a
whole procession of these. "Show me
your houses," he exclaimed in his eag-
er childish voice, as he ran joyously
along beside them. lnto hollows of
sttunps they went, stored the honey in
little egg-shells, carried there by the
swallows, and then marched back, and
kept this up all day.
F airy-l-leart was greatly pleased be-
cause Little-Dear-One was so happy.
l-fe led him next to a dear little lake
where the boatmen were sailing in
vessels of nutshells with sails of spid-
er silk. Was there ever a little boy
that wouldn't enjoy such a sight?
F airy-Heart surely knew there wasn't.
The child wanted to stay there so long
his guide was afraid it would be clos-
T 'wenty-seven
ing-up time in Fairyiland before he
could get him away.
Little-Dear-One 'put his 'hands in the
water 'add his dimpled face flushed
with pleasure. "Quick, Little-Dear-
One," said the voice of 'Fairy-Heart,
"you must soon leave for it will be
time for all visitors to bedway and
your mama and papa will miss you."
With tears in his eyes, the childturn-
ed away,'and this was a very natural
thing 'for a little world-baby to do.
But his distress did not last very long
for what'funny sight did he see but a
field-mouse stop right in front of ihim,
stand upon its haunches andblink its
eyes at him, as if to say, "Gracious!
what are you doing here P" He held
some corn stubble between his fore-
paws, which'he'had robbed from the
fields 'for the fairies. Withhis little
fists, Little-Dear-One hastily rubbed
the tears from his glistening eyes,
while he broke into alaugh, with still
a bit of a hint of tears in it. This
frightened the 'field-mouse and the
hastily ran off.
The 'workmen were ' hurrying' to get
through with the"day's work and 'soon
he saw little men sawing down toad-
stools, two engaged 'in felling one
stool. Even the 'squirrels were 'carry-
ing shells from the nuts 'whichthey
had 'gatheredto be rrrade intobdats.
Soon Fairy-Heart had 'led 'Little-
Dear-One back to theplace whence
they had started and introduced him
to the 'Queen of the'fa.iries,'who was
sitting on a couch of 'thistle-down in
'an apartment of rose 'leaves. Her
little white wings reached clearto her
dainty feetcovered 'with velvety white
slippersiof 'lilyeof-the-valley. 'She smil-
ed 'ilpon her visitor, arose and then
dropped i gracefully down "behind 'the

Oh, but now, it was pretty near over
and the last sight was the prettiest of
all. Suddenly "all the flowers started

Calmly I watched that great gray
cloud, 1
As it came o'er the deep blue sea,
Sadly I watched the waters wide,
While that mist enfolded me.
Silently, slowly it crept o'er the deep
Nor thought I of the cost.
Fascinated I watched it come
Till I realized I was lost.
Lost in that dense and boundless mist,

"Oh God, protect me from all harm,
And in Thy great arms hide me."
Thoughtlessly had I sailed that boat,
That little, wee craft of mine,
Carelessly had I let it drift,
On that dark and foamy brine.
Now all alone in the ship was I
Yet list! was I alone?
Far away I could hear a voice
That softly called me home.
Nearer and nearer it came through
the dark,
A low and soft, sweet moan,
The mist was gone and all was clear,
And God would guide me home.

Day of parting, for to-day
Ends one task, begins one more 5
Day of honor, for to-day
Our way has reached its goalg
And the strife for once is o'er,
And the harsh world-roar
Is stilled in ai present quiet,
A calm and peaceful quiet,
The quiet of the soul.
Day of visions, for to-day
The future lies before us
And pleasant seems,
Fair seem the distant mountains,
Fair what lies beyond,
Fair as all dreams.
Day of high hopes!
Yet we may journey over half the
world
From rise to set of sun,
To find at length no more than this:
One old task completed,
One new task begun.

Upon the first Monday in August
of the year ninteen hundred and ten,
forty-two half-frightened Freshmen
filled the largest classroom in the Ar-
cata Union High School and were
given into the charge of Miss Cham-
berlin. We felt upon good terms with
her from the very beginning, for she
too was entering the High School for
the first time and might well be con-
sidered a member of our class.
The upper classmen, however, did
not consider us an integral part of the
school but decided to formally initiate
us. This initiation took place in Ar-
cata's Redwood Park, the second Fri-
day of August. We were then fairly
launched in high school life as "the
class of fourteen."
During the early part of our Fresh-
man year we were saddened by the
death of one of our class mates, Joseph
Moranda.
Our numbers decreased one by one,
in our Sophomore year we were but
twenty-two, as Juniors eighteen. In
our Senior year we were reduced to
fifteen in number but later received
four new members, Ray Horton, Har-
old Horton, Myra Christy, who left in
a short time, and Howard Derby, who
had entered with us as a Freshman
but departed in his Sophomore year.
Now at the end of our school-life we
number eighteen.
We do not believe that the standing
of a class should be based entirely up-
on scholarship: nor do we think it
should depend solely upon class activ-
ities in society or athletics. Rather we
believe that a class should receive
praise or blame as it has succeeded or
failed in all the various phases of
school-life. Thus we, the class of nine-
teen hundred and fourteen ask that we
be judged only upon what we have ac-
complished and not upon what we say
or believe that we can do.
This class has always borne a good
record in scholarship, but we intend to
speak only of the practical application
of that scholarship. In our opinion
this is most clearly shown by the de-
bates. We have been well represented
both in the school debates and the In-
terscholastic Debate, one of the most
important events of each year. During
our Freshman year Howard Derby
took part in the debate: as Juniors we
were represented by Eunice Engle and
John Barter: while in this, our Senior
year, the team consists of three mem-
bers of our class, Eunice Engle, Har-
old Horton and Howard Derby. ,
We have taken part in the High
School athletics also but will content
ourselves by naming those who have
won a place on the teams. The boys
who have done so are Walter Carlson,
Theodore Westdin, John Barter,
Howard Derby and Ray Horton. The
girls are Ceva Sapp, Effie Acorn,
Alice Haugh, Eunice Engle and Susie
Anderson.
Nor have we been remiss socially.
As a class we have given a dance in
honor of the Senior Class of thirteen,
a candy pull, a Christmas party and a
dinner to ourselves and the Faculty.
Many other events have been planned
but have not as yet taken place.
We feel that it is partly due to our
efforts that we now have a High
School Grchestra, and We are glad
that we have had a share in the or--
ganiation of the Dramatic and Agri-
cultural Clubs.
But this is not all our school life has

meant to us. For if as we depart, it
can be truly said that we have helped
to raise the standards of our school,
that we have truly appreciated and
taken advantage of the efforts of pre-
ceeding classes, then we, the class of
Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen, shall
be content.

WE, the members of the Senior
Class of 1914 of the Arcata Union
High School, of the City of Arcata,
County of Humboldt, State of Califor-
nia, being of sound and disposing
mind and memory, considering the un-
certainty of this life and being desir-
ous of settling our material goods and
possessions upon our deserving suc-
cessors-while we have the strength
and capacity to do so-do hereby de-
clare this to be our final will and testa-
ment, revoking all former Wills,
Codicils and Testimentary Disposi-
tions made by us.
I. To our teachers, and especially
to our class teacher who has so faith-
fully aided us in all we have tried to
do, we fully extend our heartfelt
thanks for so patiently guiding us
through the four years in the Arcata
Union High School. To them, we
leave our forgiving natures, our kind-
ly dispositions and sweet tempers to be
used at all times and under all cir-
cumstances where classmen are involv-
ed.
II. To the incoming Senior class
we leave our good behavior, our lofty
ideals and high aims. Guard them
well, Oh Seniors, and success will be
yours. We leave too our ability to
carry on crocheting parties, side shows
and political campaigns during United

debating honors, our High School
spirit and our never dying admiration
for the Black and Gold. To them we
leave a well filled stable of sturdy
horses and ponies which have been
well trained under the great Secret
Service System. Although they belof
different breeds, some big and fat,
F arty-six
others small and worn, nevertheless,
like the good horse Roland who so
bravely brought the good news from
Ghent to Aix, so likewise will these
noble steeds carry one of you as swift-
ly and willingly through a course of
History or Caesar.
IV. To the Sophomores do we
leave our smiles, our pranks, Caesar
translations, Billie Burke curls and
good times in general. .
V. To the Freshmen we leave all
our sad memories and sleepless nights,
our never ending fear of quarterly
exams and teachers, and heartily beg
you to heed, as we have done, the
wise old saying, "Procrastination is
the Thief of Time." X
VI. As follows we give and be-
queath our personal property:

ketball team do leave to the team of
'14 all the basket ball suits, including

iors my undying hatred for class-
meetings. '
I-Candina Tonini, to the girls of

vegetables, in case I get my garden
spaded and the seeds planted, in case
the sun warms them, the rain wets
them and they grow, and if they don't
get canned.
I-Gertrude Harlan do bequeath to
the girls of the junior Class, my tem-
per, to be lost at class meetings only.
I-john Barter, do leave to the
boys of the coming Senion Class my
wonderful vocal ability, to be used on
all public occasions where the welfare
of our school is in the least concerned,

in the cash, so that the long desired
ten acres of agricultural ground can
be acquired. V

Anna Ford my ability to write my
own excuses.
I-Zaida Sherburne give and be-
queath to Irma Jones the accomplish-
ed art of wiggling my ears.

the use of my ever ready flow of
flowered speech in History IV.
I-Ida Douarin do leave to the
Freshman classimy ability for cutting
school and getting back without being
caught by the teachers.
I-Alice Haugh, as a tennis player,
do bequeath all my rights to the court,
dead balls, worn out tennis shoes and
school rackets to Alethe Gaynor.
I-Effie Acorn, do bequeath my
never failing manufactured grin of
good-nature after a call down in Eng-
lish to Paul Courtwright.
I-Ray Horton, bequeath and de-
vise to the Seniors my ability to take
up time by asking foolish questions in
History IV.

Nelson my genius for making E's in
all subjects.
I-Theodore Westdin do leave to
the boys my hobby of teasing the

ability to be good.

and muscle to be used in the Track
Team.

the students my unlimited gift of elo-
cution to be used when-ever there is
a pause in conversation, especially in
English IV. Also to the Physics Class
I leave my pessimism and obstinacy.
Lastly we hereby appoint Miss E.
Chamberlin executrix of this our last
will and testament, and hereto we afix
your seal on the 28th day of May in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine

When the present junior Class en-
tered the A. U. H. S. in the year nine-
teen hundred. eleven, the upper class-
men and the Faculty did not realize
that the thirty-four green and bashful
"Freshies" would in a fortnight turn
the tables on the hazers and tax the
patience of the latter to their utmost
endurance.
Behavior, it seems, was our weak
point. However as a class we made
up for it in recitations, athletics, and
in social requirements.
In August, 1912, only twenty-eight
Forty-eight
of our number returned. Neverthe-
less, we succeeded in making more
than our share of noise, although the
last mentioned fact fails to do us much
credit. Accordingly marks in deport-
ment were instituted for our especial
benefit.
We supplied the "Advance" with
numerous joshes, records in Athletics,
verses and clever drawings.
This year we were joined by a new
member, Gladys Hanson, but in the
course of the term Chester Morrell
and our Class President, joe Craw-
ford dropped out leaving us sixteen
strong.
We are already proudly wearing a
dainty California poppy of burnished
gold upon which are the black enamel-
ed letters A. H. S. and '15.
During the three years of our school
life those taking part in the different
activities were: joe Crawford, Gillis
Courtwright, Emmet Mahoney, Ches-
ter Morrell, Ross Sutherland, Auswild
Carroll, Vernon Hunt, William Pet-
ers, "Ted" Wright, Lola McCready,
Carolyn Tilley, Myrtle Teal, La Verne
Preston, Georgia Campbell, Katherine
Carroll, Alfred Morrell and Hazel
Roberts.
The coming year holds many possi-
bilities for us and as dignified and ex-
emplary Seniors we will attempt to
fulfill the expectations of our dearly
beloved Class teacher, Miss Briscoe.

Gn August 4, 1912. forty-one en-
thusiastic boys and girls enrolled as
Freshmen in the Arcata Union High
School. Of course, we were very
"green" and timid, and in order that
we might overcome our shyness, the
upper classmen, whom we viewed with
great respect and awe, gave up a "get
acquainted" party in the Assembly
hall Friday evening, August 9. This
improved matters greatly and as a re-
sult we grew bold enough to at least
raise our eyes from our books and see
the things that went on around us.
After the first few unsettled days
work began in earnest. One cloud
however, hovered over us and made
our lives miserable. This was the idea
of an initiation which we had reason
to fear. Imagine our relief when we
learned that we were not to be initiat-
ed, but to be given a reception Friday
evening. September 6. We immediat-
ely decided that our schoolmates were
not such a "bad lot" as we had been
led to believe.
VVe Freshmen came forward with
excellent material for athletics. We
had two Freshmen
girls in basketball
and several prospec-
tive football and
baseball players.
August 1913 saw
us back at school as
"Sophs.'y' Quite a
few changes had tak-
en place for twelve
of our number had
left school and six
others had enrolled in the class of
1917.
As "Jolly Sophomoresu we had the
privilege of assisting in the initiation
of the Freshmeng of course we did
this with the greatest of pleasure.
In athletics our class was again
well represented there being Sopho-
mores on the football, girls' basketball
and tennis teams.
In the spring term two of the mem-
bers of our class dropped out but this
loss was partially made up by the en-
rollment of Mabel Hutchison.
So now we stand twenty-four full-
fledged Sophomores, ready to go on
and finish our course in Arcata Union
lligh School, hoping we can do so
with credit to our school.

fact that we were to be initiated, Fri-

conspicuous.

ga11 to wear off. Then came that
fearful period known as 'fQuarterly
Exams," the cause of terror unbound-
ed to every "Freshie." However we
outwardly "braved the storm," with
serene faces, while inwardly our
hearts beat a tattoo upon our ribs.
So much for that. VVe progressed
rapidly and after a few months no
longer considered ourselves "Green
Freshies" but members of the Fresh-
man Class. We then proceeded to
elect a class President, Paul Court-
rightg Vice-President, Eleanor Gay-
nor, and Secretary, Hazel Liscom.
About this time we were appointed to
edit the High School "Advance" our
monthly paper, which we did to our
credit as our paper was a good one.

Of our original number we have
lost three. But that loss has in some
degree been made up by tl1e entrance
i11to our class of Frank Pidgeon. YVe
were sorry to lose our classmates and
wish that they could have continued
with us.
The remainder of the year has pass-
ed smoothly enough and we are now
near the close of our career as Fresh-
men of dear old Arcata High. We
have had many perilous adventures in
our search for wisdom and many nar-
row escapes, but we have come out
with whole skins and smiling faces
and are looking forward to that de-
lightful and important state of being,

Das deutsche Volkslied "Die Auserwahlte" wie gesungen von der deut-
schen Klasse am 24sten Marz.
Baa Hrilrhen unh ham illntkvhlrhm.
Einmal, wohnte im Walde ein
schones Rotkehlchen. V on allen Vog-
eln war seine Brust am schonsten. Er
sang seine Lieder jeden Tag im
Baume. Ein Veilchen, das unter dem
Baume wuchs, horte taglich das Lied
des Rotkehlchens. Eines Tages, kam
der Sudwind, verliebte sich in es und
wollte es nach dem Suden mitnehmen.
Aber vergebens! Das Veilchen Schut-
telte sich den Kopf und sah das Rot-
kehlchen auf dem Raume an.
Eines Tages, floss der Bach uber
seine Ufer und sah das Veilchen. Er
bat das Veilchen seine Braut zu wer-
den aber es wollte es nicht. So musste
der Bach mit einem traurigen Herz
abgehen.
Am nachsten Tage, kam ein Jager
in den Wald und schoss das Rotkehl-
chen. Es fiel auf das Moos neben dem
Veilchen. Es wollte das Blut des Rot-
kehlchens stillen, aber das konnte es
nicht.
Die Mause und die Maulwurfe
gruben fur es ein Grab neben dem
Yeilchen. Die Rose ging mit dem
Sudwind nach seiner Wohniing, die
Maasliebe mit dem Bach nach der
See. aber das Veilchen blieb bei dem
Grab des Rotehlchens.
Endlich kam der Nordwind und sah
das Veilchen neben dem Grab. Sie
war tot und mit ihrem letzten Atem-
zug sich uber das Grab geneigt hatte.

Laura Peron, '14,
Cietait en 1881 que Monsieur Leroy
etait parti de son pays, l'Auvergne,
pour s'etablir a Bourges. Quoiqu'il
fut un homme petit, il avait bien 1'air
d'etre tres important avee son beau
chapeau a haute forme, sa redingote
noire et son col blanc. Il etait, en
effet, opticien.
Apres avoir trouve une bonne loca-
tion dans la rue des Frippiers, il fit
appeler un peintre d'enseignes pour
lui faire peindre une enseigne.
En prenant les mesures le peintre lui
demanda, "Que voulez-vous que j'ec-
rive sur votre enseigne?
"Tout simplement 'optichien' ", il
lui repondit, prononcant le mot optic-
ien, avee l'accent des gens de son pays.
Le peintre, fort etonne, ecrivit sur
F ifty-two
Venseigne ce qu'il croyait que l'optic-
ien lui avait dit-"Au petit chin."
Deux jours apres il rapporta l'en-
seigne et la fixa sur la muraille au
dessus de la porte de l'office et s'en
alla sans regler avee l'optician.
Bientot 1'Auvergnat s' apercut que
tout le monde, en passant, regardait
en 1'air et disparaissait en riant de bon
coeur. Alors il sortit pour regarder
lui-meme-et voila ce qu'il vit ecrit
sur llenseigne en grandes lettres
noires- '
"AU PETIT CHIEN."
Saisi de corele il courut chez le
peintre et lui cria dlune voix de ton-
nere "Que m'avez-vous ecrit la? Vous
ne pouvez pas encore comprendre
votre propre langue! Sapristi! tout le
monde rit de moi en regardant cette
enseigne. Je ne vous la paieral pas 1"
Et apres avoir donne quelques coups
de poing au malheureux peintre pour
lui faire mieux comprendre, il sortit
de la maison a toutes jambes.
Le lendemain 1'enseigne avait dis-
paru.

Of the various activities of the A.
U. H. S. this year, Dramatics has been
one of the most interesting. This in-
terest has been shown in the organiza-
tion in December of a Dramatic Club,
composed of Seniors and Juniors for
the purpose of studying dramatic art
and of promoting and encouraging
ability and talent in this field. Al-
though little has been accomplished
this year, the members have mainly
worked to firmly establish the club.
The most interesting piece of work
completed is a short skit written by
three members, which appears in the
Literary Department.
Mention will be found in the Lan-
guage Department of an act from the
French play, "Le voyage de Monsieur
Perrichonf' to be given in the near
future by the French class.
"A Night Off,,, the fifth annual
play given by the A. U. H. S. was
presented at Excelsior Hall on Friday
evening, December 12th. The produc-
tion was greatly appreciated by all
who attended and the High School
heartily joins the cast in extending
thanks to Mr. Wiley for the successful
coaching and the interest taken in the
play.
The comedy opens with a scene laid
in the study of Justinian Babbitt, a
professor of Ancient History, who has
written a tragedy and although he is
opposed to theatre-going, has a modest
desire to see his play successfully pro-
duced.
Fifty-four
Joe Crawford showed talent in play-
ing the part of the "Qld mann, Justin-
ian Babbitt.
John Barter, as Harry Damask,
proved his ability as an actor in the
role of an abused husband.
Gillis Courtright, under the name
of Jack Mulberry, did exceptionally
well in the "card scene."
Lord Mulberry, an Englishman, in
pursuit of his son, Jack, was cleverly
acted out by Emmet Mahoney.
The part of Marcus Brutus Snap in
pursuit of fame and fortune, was very
ably taken by Alfred Morrell.
Although pursued by the terrible
phantom, Stage-fright, the part of
Prowl, the faithful usher, was filled
with splendid ability by no other than
Auswild Carroll.
Eunice Engle, as Mrs. Zantippa
Babbitt, surprised the audience in the
person of the "Old Lady."
Georgia Campbell showed her abil-
ity as an actress in the part of Nisbe,
the "imp" of the household.
The part of Angelica Damask was
taken by Ceva Sapp. Although she
abused her husband, she was true to
her name.
Hazel Roberts prettily played the
part of the maid, Susan.
Katherine Carroll, as Maria, had a
minor part, but this was well sustained.
On December 20th, "A Night Off"
was -repeated at Blue Lake before a
large audience.

Erhating.
There is one feature of our school
life which we cannot emphasize too
much and ,that feature is debating. The
reason ,for-this-emphasis lies in the fact
that argumentation is an essential part
of our life, :as students, of our life as
individuals in society, and of our life
as citizens ,of our community, of our
state and of our nation. It is not our
purpose rto defend the introduction of
such contests in schools. That needs
no defense. But we do wish to em-
phasize the benefits which can be de-
rived from its study.
This is not a new art. We must
look for its origin in vain. The an-
cient Greeks and Romans were pro-
ficient in it, and many of their most
famous -orations are still extant. There
are stories of debates among all peo-
ples, even the most primitive. The
Indians thus settled all their affairs
and adoptedall their plan of warfare.
There is evidence that in the morning
of time earliest man established his
government by means of the debate.
Thus from fthe beginning of life we
see that debating has been an honor-
able institutiong that it has occupied
a place among the highest as well as
the lowest nations of the world: among
savage, barbarous and civilized peo-
ples. And it is so today in our own
country. All national questions at
Washington are settled after debate.
All State questions at Sacramento
are settled -after debate. All ques-
tions concerning the people of Ar-
cata are settled after debate. We
can see then show important it is that
our legislators have the ability to speak
well and think clearly.
'The faculty of the A. U. H S. un-
derstanding the importance of this in-
stitution, with the aid of the students
has established two debating societies
-the Pythagorean, composed of the
Sophomore and Junior Classes, and
the Uphippa, made up of the Fresh-
men and Seniors. These societies ar-
gue the same question during the
month and then meet in a joint con-
test at the regular monthly meeting of
the Student Body. In this manner
some good material has -been develop-
ed to compete with other schools in
the annual interscholastic contests. In
the first debate this year we upheld the
.affirmative of the following question
against '-Fortuna: Resolved that exist-
ing conditions require the abandon-
ment of the Monroe Doctrine. The
Arcata speakers were Eunice Engle,
Harold Horton and Howard Derby,
and the Fortuna speakers were John
Ross, Bryson Shillington and Stanley
Smilie. The question was well sup-
ported by both sides and was thor-
oughly interesting ihroughout. Arcata
carried off the victory and she looks
forward -with fond hopes to winning
the championship. The final trial will
be April 25th, when we will meet with
Ferndale in that .city.

Arcata, Cal., Through the fall months we take up
April 1, 1914-fi" ' I
Dear Mabel:-
Your last letter has surely sent my
hopes roving in the regions of my toes
for I certainly thought that after
enumerating the advantages of our
school you would not hesitate to en-
roll here. Every day since I left that
old town and our good times together,
to attend High, I have longed for your
company. Now let me add one more
inducement to those before named.
Our social events are not specifical-
ly required, yet they are broadening
and add to our school life. All work
and no fun would soon put contrary
notions into our heads.
First of all this year, we had our
Freshman initiation and it was surely
one to be remembered. The girls all
appeared very "fresh," with large
green ribbons on their hair. They
were blindfolded and fed each other
bread crumbs. The boys were not
treated so nicely for upon being
thrown into the air one of them missed
the blanket held for him and fell head-
long to the floor. This furnished
great amusement for the others but al-
though the lad danced until twelve he
had not ceased feeling the results of
his fall at that hour.
We always have small dances and
one or two plays a year. Those who
are lucky enough to make the cast,
talk about their fun at rehearsals for
months afterwards. This year we put
on "A Night Off", both at Blue Lake
and Arcata. It was a great success
socially as well as financially for it
was followed by a dance and that al-
ways brings a crowd of jolly young
folks. -
Basketball and Football and we gen-
erally entertain the visiting teams by a
luncheon in the commercial rooms at
noon. Last year the Eureka teams
came over. Of course we had plenty
of good things to eat but we saw that
the boys had "no cake" as sweet things
aren't good before a game you know.
We thought we would save Mr. Hut-
ton the trouble of carrying his lunch
to school by storing some in his desk
but when he found it there Monday
morning, he politely refused it and
sent it over to the neighbor's chickens,
Above all other enjoyments is the
Senior Xmas tree. We always have it
the last week of school before the win-
ter vacation. Santa distributed our
gifts which consisted mainly of rattles,
horns and jack-in-the-boxes. You
should have heard the noise. It was
just like a Hbarnyard comotionf' At
noon all the teachers were invited to
a lunch where we had Beans a la Bos-
ton, Pork a la Pig, Ice Cream a la
Greenland, etc., a most elaborate
spread I assure you. To cap the
climax, we had out tree, ice-cream
freezer and some of our cake stolen
by the saucy Juniors, but Fate paid
them back the following day by turn-
ing their candy to sugar.
After Xmas we had the pleasure of
hearing Professor Wood of Eureka
lecture on Shakespeare. His inter-
pretation of scenes from "Hamlet" and
"Macbeth" was a treat to lovers of lit-
erature. The Eureka High School
Orchestra of fifteen pieces accom-
panied him and filled the air with
"concord of sweet soundsn during in-
termissions.
The Assembly Hall was the scene of
F ifty-nine
another social gathering in March.
The farce, "April Foolv given by three
Senior boys and thensong. by, the little
"German girls" were the greatest hits
of the season. The Freshmen distin-
guished themselves in "A Theater Par-
ty" from from "Mrs. Wiggs of the
Cabbage Patch."
The one event to which we look
forward now is Senior Week. The
Baccalaureate Sermon to be given by
Rev. Hessel the Sunday before Com-
mencement is the beginning of the
keep with us.
Other events of the week are a Pro-
gressive Dinner given by parents of
the Graduates and a Senior Play.
Last but not least are the Com-
mencement Exercises andthe Senior
Ball. Of all the events of school life,
these two are held most dear for they
mark our last two evenings together
as a class.
Now Mabel, hoping this will tip the
balance in my favor, I await your
speedy reply.
end. This is a new feature in this part Lovingly,
of the state and one which we hope to Effie.

To the tune of "A Merry Life."
Some think the world is made for fun
and frolic, -
And so do weg and so do we.
Some think it nice to be all melancholic
Oh my, oh me! Oh my, oh me!
We loye to spend our time in gaily sing-
mg
Of our old High, of our old High,
To set the school with music gaily ring-
mg
For that we sigh, for that we try.
A. U. H. S. fight and yell rah! rah!
A. U. H. S. fight and yell rah! rah!
Rah! rah! rah! rah! rah! rah! rah!
Rah! rah! rah! rah! rah! rah!
As long as old Arcata's here
We'll fight for dear old High.
The singing class has been an im-
portant factor in our school life for
the past two years and this year has
advanced wonderfully in the vocal art,
to the credit of Miss Asher, who has
shown no end of zeal and enthusiasm.
The class included the greater number
of students, for there isn't anyone in
the world who doesn't like to sing
though his voice may sound like an
over-enthusiastic fog-horn.
Every Tuesday morning a half-hour
is devoted to music and the soft and
varied tones reverberate through the
building. We couldn't possibly get
along without this element now, as it
spurs one on and furnishes the energy
which is needed to inspire the student
to do his best. In plain everyday lan-
guage "its a change," and in this case
it is a profitable one.
This year we have had introduced
into our midst four new members of
the faculty, Miss Briscoe, Mr. Hutton,
Mrs. Russell and Mr. Cooperrider,
Principal. The last quarter Mr. Hut-
ton was forced to resign on account
of continued illness and Mr. Christen-
sen took his place. Much interest is
always shown at the beginning of the
year with regard to the faculty. This
is also true of the incoming class of
Freshmen. These last are the natural
victims of jokes indulged in by the
upper classmen. No need of surprise,
as the latter remember when they were
in the same boat. The Freshmen in-
itiation always awakens enthusiasm,
while the timid "Freshies" await with
horror the terrible tests of courage
which are to be theirs. At the opening
Sixty-one
of this year quite a large class entered,
making the number of students enroll-
ed over one hundred.
The assembly meetings which take
place once a month are a noteworthy
feature in the activity of the school.
They are always marked with great
variety and interest. This is shown by
the fact that no one goes to sleep as
is often the case at a lecture on the
evils of the growing generation. It 1
in this arena of school life that the
pupils get accustomed to appearing. be-
fore an audience. The dear little
'fFreshies" overcome diffidence and
bashfulness, their main characteristics.
No offence need be taken, for the
"Freshies" and their funny little ways
are a necessary element in every High
School.
Music, both vocal and instrumental,
debating, talking on present topics of
interest, and the reading of the month-
ly Advance constitute the main fea-
tures of the program. The Advance
is worked up by a number of editors
and is always looked forward to with
great interest.
This year a large addition was made
to the number of books in the High
School Library. Many of the stand-
ard works of fiction were added to
the large collection we already have.
We have now full sets of Shakespeare,
Thackeray and Scott, and we may well
be proud of our library. It has been
indeed a source of pleasure during the
long winter evenings. And the editor
hopes that others will find as pleasant
companions in "Little Nell," "Juliet"
and "Samuel Weller" as she has her-
self.
To those persons who say we learn
too much Latin, events of past cen-
turies, and that we neglect present
topics of interest, we would mention
our reading table. This is located in
the hall and upon it are kept the best
current magazines of the day. Current
questions are discussed in connection
with different studies and thus a
knowledge of the present as well as
the past is gained.
A course in general science was
added this year to the regular subjects
studied.
Our schedule for the studies and
teachers this year is as follows:
Mr. Cooperrider, Mathematics III,
Chemistry, Physics.
Miss Chamberlin, English, II, III
and IV, French I and II.
Miss Asher, Latin I, II and III.
Mrs. Russell, English I, German I,
Drawing.
Miss Briscoe, History I and II,
Commercial Work.
Mr. Christensen, Algebra I, Geom-
etry, General Science and U. S. His-
tory. l

This year great interest has been
displayed in athletics and we feel that
we have been successful in the truest
sense. For we think it clearly evident,
that as a school, we have manifested
better sportsmanship and have taken a
more active part in all athletic activ-
ities. And we trust that we have
borne defeat and victory worthily.
Arcata has this year taken a part in
the track meet and also in Boys' Bas-
ketballg many who had never before
attempted to win a place on the team
came forward as candidates. Practice
was carried on more earnestly than in
previous yearsg the cooperation of the
student body was heartily and freely
offeredg in fact, everything indicated
the presence of that intangible some-
thing, known as school spirit.
In spite of the fact that many of our
best athletes have graduated the last
two years, much splendid material has
been developed 'for future contests,
and we are glad that we have taken
our part in furthering this develop-
ment.
The reorganization of the track
team marked the first evidence of this
spirit, for last yearwe took no part in
this sport. We advise future classes
to foster this form of athletics with the
impetus which we have given it this
year. We did not gain any glory, for
our material was practically new and
uninitiated. The interscholastic meet
was held at Ferndale on Oct. 18th.
Eureka took first place, the other
schools following in her wake with
Arcata in the background. Our line-
up consisted of George Anderson
CCaptainj , Emmet Mahoney, Ray Ma-
han, Mansel Clark and Theodore
Westdin.
31 nnthall.
The football boys, ably coached by
Mr. Hutton, practiced diligently from
the first, and although many of the
members of the team took part for the
first time they made noteworthy ef-
forts to uphold the glory of their
school. A series of games was played
with Fortuna, Eureka and Ferndale
respectively. Arcata's line-up was as
follows:
J. Barter, C.: T. Westdin, L. G., M.
Clark, R. G.g H. Derby, L. T.g L. Kelt-
ner, R. T. g T. Leavey, L. E., C. Morrell,
R. E.g R. Sutherland, Q. Bpg E. Mahoney,
Capt., L. H.g W. Carlson, F. B., G. An-
defson, R. H.g Subs., Courtright and Car-
ro .
ARCATA vs. FORTUNA
The first game of the series was
played at Fortuna on Nov. 15. The
game was exciting throughout and
ended with the close score of 14 to 13
in Fortuna's favor.

ARCATA VS. EUREKA.
The second of the series was played
on Nov. 15, when our boys met the
Eureka eleven on our home grounds.
Until the fourth quarter it looked as
if the Eureka team would gain the
honors but in the last quarter we per-
formed what ,seemed a miracle. By
means of a cleverly worked forward
pass we made two touchdowns, be-
sides kicking one goal. When the
whistle blew, the game stood with the
tally 13 to 12 in our favor.
ARCATA VS. FERNDALE.
The wind-up game we played with
Ferndale in that city. The Ferndale
team outweighed the Arcata team
about twenty pounds to the man. Suf-
fice to say that we reached Arcata
safely after having been beaten with a
score of 0 to 62 for the Cream City.

The girls put in excellent practice
this year under Captain Ceva Sapp
and Coach Asher, and they showed a
marked improvement in their team
work. If they keep this up, and they
will, the victory will in the near future
be theirs. The girls' team was com-
posed of the following members: Lola
McCready, Hildegarde Carlson, and
Janie Carolan-Centersg Ceva Sapp,
Alethe Gaynor and Effie Acorn-

ton and Elinor Gaynor--Forwards,

ARCATA VS. FORTUNA
The opening game on Nov. 15 was
played with Fortuna. The latter ob-
tained a good score in the first half,
and we were feeling pretty lonesome
for our girls, but they came up in the
last half although at the end of the
game Fortuna won by,a narrow mar-
gin, the score being 17 to 15.
ARCATA VS. EUREKA.
On Nov. 22 Eureka played our team
on the Arcata High School Court. Eu-
reka carried off the 'ftrophieslof vic-
tory" with a score of 21 to 16.
ARCATA VS. FERNDALE.
The last game of the series was
scheduled for Dec. 12 but on account
of the persistence of miserable weath-
cr and the poor condition of the court
we forfeited the game to Ferndale,
2-0.
Bugs' Basketball.
Boys' Basketball was entered in the
list of athletic events this year for the
first time. Spirit was shown in the
largest sense of the word and though
we didn't win the championship we
compared favorably with other schools.
The line-up was as follows: M. Clark,
Center, R. Horton and E. Mahoney,
Guardsg H. Horton and T. Westdin,
Forwards, and j. Barter, Sub.
ARCATA VS. FORTUNA.
Th first game was played with For-
tuna on Feb. 7. The Arcata boys put
up a splendid game as did the oppos-
ing team and Arcata was victorious
with a score of 17 to 15. 1
ARCATA VS. EUREKA.
On Feb. 14 Arcata went to Eureka
and same back--oh, yes, they came
back after being treated to the modest
end of a 23 to 8 score.
ARCATA VS. FERNDALE.
The .last game of the series was
played with Ferndale. The latter won
the championship the score being 33
to .5 in her favor:
iilrnniz.
Enthusiasm was not wanting in ten-
nis this year and we looked forward
with the brightest expectations toward
retaining our former reputation in this
sport. Although we didn't quite real-
ize our hope our team played splendid
games.
ARCATA VS. FORTUNA.
The preliminary game was played
at Arcata on April 7. Arcata won
every event. The tournament began

ton and Pryor of Fortuna 6-3, 4-5.

Haugh won from A. Drummond 6-1,
6-1. '

6-3.
ARCATA VS. EUREKA.
Arcata competed with Eureka for
the championship on April 15 in Eu-
reka. The latter was victorious win-
ning 3 events out of five.
Bane Ball.
We have only four of last years
veterans remaining to take part in
baseball but the team is going to put
up a good fight. They have had some
peppery practice with the Arcata Nor-
mal School team and other nines of
note. They'll be there with the goods,
so look out. The schedule of the
games is as follows: '
Arcata vs. Ferndale at Ferndale on
April 18.

It is with considerable misgiving the
editor of this department surveys 11
high pile of magazines from other
schools and realizes that he is expect-
ed to speak wisely both as to their im-
perfections and their virtues. We have
received an excellent lot of exchanges
this year, and more and more fully do
we realize the good influence derived
from them. It is therefore with no
feeling of self-confidence that the
editor looks upon the large collection
of annuals and monthlies which are
inviting comment and criticism. But
what to the inexperienced critic seems
at first to be a task is soon found to
be a pleasure. The various original
ideas possess such an attraction and
awaken so much interest that his pri-
mary intent is almost forgotten, and
he must often review a paper with his
original purpose more fixedly in view.
VVe appreciate and enjoy the papers
which we have received and invite all
to favor us by calling again.
The Totem, Juneau, Alaska.-You
are a unique and valued exchange,
brimming with vigor of the cold north-
land. A total absence of cuts on your
part is partially compensated for by
fine printing and a few well selected
photographs of natural scenery and
inhabitants.
The Review, Santa Maria.-Your
cover is very artistic. Literary is ex-
cellent and athetics snappy and inter-
esting. More cuts would make your
annual very attractive.
Cogswell Polytechnic, San Fran-
cisco.-You are refreshing and your
material is well arranged. Your
stories are excellent. The December
S eventy- four
number is especially interesting.
Manzanita Bark, Palo Alto.-You
are a wonderfully clever paper, bub-
bling over with life and spirit. Come
again.
Clintonian, Clinton, Iowa. - We
have been favored by several calls
from you. You are fine but more cuts
would add to your appearance. You
could also improve the arrangement of
your departments. C
Liberty Bell, Brentwood, Cal.-Ty-
pographically neat and attractive gen-
erally. VVould suggest having depart-
ments more clearly defined. Why put
In Memoriam so close to joshes?
Sequoya, Redwood City, Cal.--You
are an excellent paper. Call again.
The Review, Sacramento.-We are
glad to hear from you so often. Your
football number was especially inter-
esting.
The Sibyl, Riverside, Cal.-Girls,
you deserve praise for your marked
originality. Material well arranged.
The few cuts you have are unique, but
more would be better. The printing
of the title f'School Notes" is a novel
idea. Good editorial.
De Sotoyoman, Healdsburg, Cal.-
The latest contribution to our ex-
change table was published by juniors.
Poor type and presswork and frequent
typographical errors mar a very pains-
taking publication. "The Senate" is a
department we would be glad to see
universally adopted. A very fine and
helpful article on the principles of de-
hating.
Sequoia, Eureka, Cal.-You are ex-
cellent paper, worked out well in every
detail. No criticism.

"Hey kids, you just wait for me, I
got to'go back up stairs for that note-
book. It means life or death to me
whether I get that essay in by tomor-
row morning. Now don't you dare
go off without me. Oh here it is, I
wonder who stuck it up here-I guess
I did this noon, I remember now, I
hunted for it all Fifth period. Say
who's got my umbrella? I put it over
here in this corner this morning, I'ns
positive-Yes sir, because I remember
saying to Laura that,-Say Slivers
you took it down town this noon don't
you remember? Yes you did, and d0n't
you dispute my word again. I guess
I know my own umbrella especially
when it goes down the street with you
under it. Well I don't care anyway,
it had two ribs broken and a rip on one
side, and if anybody wants it worse
than I, let him take it. By gum! I
remember now I didnit bring it be-
cause I had to run for the train. I-Ieyl
wait a minute till I get my coat.
Where did I hang it? Any of you
kids see my coat? Somebody's al-
ways hanging it some place where I
never can find it. Wish they'd leave
things alone. Say Ida, didn't you have
it when you dressed up like a million-
aire's wife this noon? Course you did,
don't you remember? What, my sweat-
er? Oh I did wear my sweater didn't
I. My cap isn't here either. Any of
you kids see it? just a minute-I've
just got to have it. Oh dear, my hair
is coming down. Well I guess you
can wait a second longer because I've
waited for you more than once. Say
it's raining isn't it ?-I got to find my
rubbers then, for one of my shoes has
sprung a leak. Another good soul
Csolej gone to the bad. No those
aren't the ones, them's new. Say, get
smart Frenchie,-them's the janitors,
even if I do take a number nine shoe.
That means I have a good understand-
ing. Eureka! here's one of 'em under
the bench. Did you find the other one?
They're both for the same foot and
one's bigger than the other. The pup
chewed one of mine so I had to bor-
row one of mama's. This is it, for
mine's got the heel stepped out. Oh!
I remember, it's over there by the hat
rack,-I took it off over there this
morning., Yes sir, here it is, but I
haven't got my cap yet and there go
two of my bone hair pins. They are
as brittle as--hey kids, leave those
things alone. After this I'll buy my
hairpins at--Oh, here's my cap in my
pocket. I wonder who put it there?
Come on now I guess I'm ready. Any
of you got my bag? Yes the blue one,
-I hung it right here on the towel
rack this noon. I know I did. It's
funny people can't leave things in
their places--Hello! where did you
find it? Lying on the table? There,
I remember now throwing it there
this morning because there wasn't
room on the rack. Thanks, now are
you ready? Have you got my lunch
box? Gee but you're kind to carry my
baggage--Oh I see, it's that peanut-
butter sandwich you smell,4and are
going to nab as soon as you get a
chance. No wonder you smell it, for
it's been in my lunch-pail since last
Friday. You can have it with my
greatest pleasure. Say we only got
six minutes to catch that train. Get a
hustle on. You kids are too slow to
stop quick.

KEY TO THE LATIN MAXIMS
FOUND IN THE LANGUAGE
DEPARTMENT.
A recitation is often lost by deliber-
ation, never by bluffing.
A pony is an aid in school, but be-'
ware of the teacher.
A teacher neither loves nor hates,
he flunks.
To receive an "E" in school is to
sell your liberty.
It is a poor answer that cannot be
heard.
It is deceitful to seek aid which you
are unwilling to return.
When a Senior sins in school, then
Freshmen learn to break a rule.
Play and the school plays with youg
work and you work alone.
Do not take a Freshman into your
confidence, he extols you to the skies
with praises, but does nothing.
A Sophomore is the source of all
wisdom. But, Freshman, beware! if
you ask him a question he will deceive
you.
It is better to have bluffed and fail-
ed than never to have tried at all.
One pupil often receives the punish-
ment that many deserve.
A disobedient pupil makes a cross
teacher.
The study of Latin has been divide-
ed into three parts: the first is bad,
the second, worse: the third, i-

"The meeting will please come to

feet off Lena's desk. Lando' Goshen,
we've only got fifteen minutes to. de-
cide whether we'll have rings oripinsf'
"Wow, wow, I've got to play tennis
before tomorrow morning," Alice
cried.
"Gosh all fish hooks! take a vote
and quit your everlastin' talkin'," ex-
claimed Sue.
"Effie, quit throwin' erasers out the
window."
"Say Ida," broke in Effie, "can you
sing 'Until the Sands of the Desert
Grow Cold ?' "
"What do you think I am," said Ida,
"a century plant ?"
"What a heterogeneous conglomer-
ation of unforeseen difficulties," en-
unciated the distracted Zaida.
"Walter, what shall we do?" cried
Laura in despair, who had almost pull-
ed all her hair out by this time.
"Don't make no difference to me,"
replied Walter, squirming around in
his seat. "Only it'l1 take a barrel hoop
to go 'round my finger."
"Pa's rich and ma don't care," from
Marie.
"Take a standing vote," said Can-
dina.
"Thank Heaven! All who wish
rings, please rise," breathed Laura.
Everybody gets up except Gert. and
Eunice.
"The meeting is adjourned," said
Laura.
A general precipitation of Blue Lake
girls into the basement and Eunice re-
marked- "I never will get that du
flip of a dress done for the dance to-
morrow night."
"Oh, peanuts," Harold interrupted,
"I want a watch-fob."
"Keep still," sternly reproved Ray,
his big brother. "Come right down
to it you look better in ear-rings."
The meeting was delayed here by a
little family disorder which was
brought to a close by John cracking
them both over the head with a point-
er.
"You're out of order, John,"-this
from Laura. "Gertrude state your
opinion." '
Ida creates a disturbance and Ger-
trude almost loses her temper.
"For the love of Mike, go ahead
then!" commanded Ida in a sarcastic
tone, "you're not making enough noise
to be heard anyway." I
"You little frog sittin' on a stool,
give me a chance and I will," retorted
Gert. "I'm with Eunice on this pro-
position."
"Goodness gracious, we'll miss the
train," Lena broke in excitedly.
"Well then Eunice, what have you
to say ?" A
"Well," scratching her head for a
thought, "as far as I'ni concerned, I
like pins. They look neat, and when
you go to college 'they look more in
place."
"Hm'm," snorted Howard. "Guess
mighty few of us'll get to college. By
the time we get through writin' com-
positions and essays we'll be no less
than gray-headed."
"Howard, keep still, Susie has a
thought."

Do you know where Humboldt County is and what possibilities it offers the
right man? Listen for a moment.
It is the great virgin county of California-an empire of fertile lands, an Eden
of rare beauty. IT IS NOT EVERYBODY'S COUNTRY. We do not want the
empty-handed brigade, but men of brains and some means.
We are great in scenery, wonderful in berries, poultry, dairying, general
farming. 1
Come up as a tourist, if you would revel in wonders. You will be likely to
remain. Here is a new land for you. The songsof birds, the winds murmuring
in the high branches, ,the music of unseen waterfalls, and the call of the wild
beast to his mate, come over the morning hills of a world that is new and clean.
If you are fond of old Izaak Walton and the sport of angling, do not forget
that the steel-head of Eel River will give you the greatest sport on the American
Continent.
If you would behold trees-majestic redwoods-that were old before the
Man of Nazareth was born, come up and lose yourself in the midst of ancient
groves that were God's first temples long before our ancestors had emerged from
conditions not far removed from barbarism.
For full information concerning our climate and resources, address a letter
to us. We have a farm adviser, who was the first detailed to any county by the
State University. We do not write so-called "boost" or "boom" pamphlets or
newspaper articles. We deal in cold facts, never flinching from the truth.
