THE OAKWOOD ORACLE ikehurti QD Qhsurhum Returning one evening from our bi-monthly meeting of the Society for the Amelioration of Human Misery, after listening to a speak- er whose eloquence had moved me to the depths of my being, I was startled to hear emanating from an alley-way, near which I had to pass, a yell. a scream, of more than human agony. Attuned to the spirit of the noble lecturer I had just heard, and eager to follow his precepts actively. I hurried in the direction of the arresting sound. And what a sight niet my eyes! Who would have thought that in this civilized age, in a city govern- ed by the wisest and most thought- ful men, and protected by the ever- deed dare be perpetrated on so helpless and so weak a creature. I approached, nerved to help, even if the cost should be to me most heavy. But, little wonder, suspi- cion of a stranger caused the poor, helpless victim to retreat as I ad- vanced. What to do I knew not, for there was no time to be lost, and the wretched perpetrators of the crime had vanished, though, I doubt not, they linger.ed near to see what I should do. But I grew des- perate watching the struggles of the poor victim, and, straining every nerve, I sprang towards him, and, taking a pen-knife from my pocket, I cut the string that bound the kettle to the poor dog's tail. watchful police, such a dastardly -Adelaide C.

THE OAKWOOD ORACLE Bellum ihughpurum When Caesar had arranged his troops in line of battle, and also the forces of the enemy had been drawn up, the signal having been given, the lieutenant-general of means Caesar hurled a missile by of his foot at the enemy. That penetrated into the middle enemy, and, having been received fastest and bravest of the by the enemy, he made a fierce attack on our men. Our men, being unacquaint- ed with the tactics of the enemy, threw themselves down to the ground and reached for the legs of the scout of the enemy who was sent in advance. lt was with the greatest difficulty that three of our men brought down the enemy. Nevertheless that one held the mis- sile, and meanwhile the troops halted in line, facing each other. The leader of the enemy having given orders, and the same missile of which mention has been made above having been thrown back, and given to one of the enemy, a man of incredible size of body, he threw himself into the breach in our men which had been made by repeated attacks of the enemy, so that he could pass. However, one of our men broke out and captured that enemy. Another attack like to the first then took place, in which it had to be resisted bravely by our men. The enemy then hurl- ed the missile at our men. Then our men repeated the movements of the enemy, who were very hard pressed. This continued for about one hour. CThe score was 8-4, against Caesar's men, with ten minutes to gob. For the sake of a touchdown - to - be - made, Caesar adopted a new plan, and made a sudden attack into the middle enemy. A few were killed and many inju1'ed, but our men had not made much advance. Having been repulsed, being disappointed in this hope, Caesar became more skilled in the management of his troops. For what reasons, he attempted an attack on the left flank. Caesa1', himself, and two others rushed out to the wing, and when one was about to be attacked by the enemy, he would hurl it behind him to an ally who was to carry it forward, finally the touchdown was made. This having been accomplished, and the ganie having been won, our men raised a shout in a loud voice. QSO, you see, that is the way Oakwood wins its championshipsb. S. SOANES. lunch When first bell goes for lunch at noon Our hearts beat all a-thump, And to get home and back again Keeps us on the jump. But if, by chance, we stay right here And at the caf do dine, We always are the last one there And have to stand in line. The service is so very poor But things there are so cheap That perhaps it pays to wait awhile Than pay more along the street. KAY FAIRTY, IF. Page T1l'6llf,lj-FI'7'L'
