28 THE DART The Old Homestead a new breed of fowl;” and to Margaret Dunn she assigned a place as a settlement worker, a Jane Addams, the second. She ceased then, and held out her hands for the rewards of her work. I he spell was broken, and again we laughed and jested. But we have found out since that memorable day, that life’s surprises are many and that the events of that day constituted one of the, for every prophecy has been fulfilled. Exchange Continued from Page 23 and your paper is up-to-date all through, but your exchange column is not very good. The editorial on exchanges is interesting as well as edifying. The Red and Black. Meadville, Pa.—We admire the skill with which you have handled the Shakespeare issue. Usually these Shakespeare numbers arc disappointing, but this one is good. The ‘Dart staff would never use colored paper and print. It hardly seems tasteful. A Chinaman was brought before a judge in Salt Lake City and received a fine for a slight misdemeanor. But the magistrate couldn’t seem to make him understand. “Look here, man, disgustedly, you pay one dollar or go to jail. There was no gleam of intelligence from the Oriental. The officer who had arrested him came up: “Say, you dish-face, you’ve got to pay a five-dollar fine. You’re a liar,” yelled the Chinaman; “its only one dollar.” John G.: Hello, there, say! would you loan me ten dollars for a week, old man?” Howard N.: “What weak old man? First Grad.: What’s the tooth brush for?” Second Ditto; That's muh class pin; I graduated from Colgate.” Just a simple, quaint old farm-house. By a silv’ry, rippling brook. But far grander than a mansion. In this quiet, shaddy nook. It is finer than a palace For tis home, sweet home to me. And each spot upon the homestead Holds some precious memory. ’Neath the shade of yonder birch tree Oft I sat in day-dreams rare. Those were days when life was fairest. And my heart was free from care. By the winding creek 1 wandered. Oftentimes in sunset’s glow, As the wide world sank to slumber. And the soft night breeze did blow'. Oh! the happy home cf childhood. How I long for scenes of yore! But alas! they’re gone forever, 1 may know them nevermore. Laurence C.: Won’t you take a ticket? We re getting up a raffle for a poor Galveston flood sufferer. Mary J.: Heavens, r.o! I wouldn t know-what to do with him if I won.” Won’t you take a seat? said the man in the street car, as he lilted his hat to the pretty girl. “No. thank you, she replied; “I’ve been skating all the afternoon and I’m tired of sitting down.” How did you ever get promoted from shoe clerk to the brass band?” Oh. they let me play the foot-notes cn a shoe-horn” Arthur L.: “That Morris has a magnetic personality.” Henry G.: Yes, I noticed he charges everything he buys.

THE DA RT 27 international spy; your risks will be great;” while you,” indicating George Potter, will be a renowned civil engineer, a builder of bridges and dams. Harry Williams strolled up. a gleam of determination in his eyes, and she turned with, Your line of steamships will be the finest in the world; the best cargo that they carry will be the Golden Packard, built by this man, f ord,” and at her gesture David straightened up with pride. I ler eyes rested thoughtfully on Faye Hawks. I believe you will like your work, yes, your ambition shall be realized; you will be matron of the largest orphanage in the States.” At this point Nora came to view. Your name is show'n in blazing letters ‘Golden Alto of the Opera House,’ she passed on to Claire Hughes; And you, as conductor of the Harmonic Orchestra, shall reap the fruits of your training.” It was lunch time but no one knew it or cared, for her words were far too important. Those whose futures had been told gathered breathlessly around, while those who had yet to learn theirs, crowded to her side. Lulu Bixler came next: Your ambition is to own and conduct a Beauty Parlor? Very well, your chance will come when you are twenty-two.” In Harriet’s palm she saw a career as an artist of rare ability; in Arthur’s, success as a banker; in Louis William’s the making of a most excellent scientific farmer. Margaret Westfall accepted her fortune of a foreign missionary, faithful and good. quite philosophically; Ruth Landon was to be a suffrage orator and Charlotte Grover the head of the International Lecture Bureau. Elizabeth Nelson was to be a fashionable modiste, whose gowns were worn and greatly advertised by Gladys Squires, the celebrated Shakespearian actress and Mora Munson, the movie actress, who had captivated audiences the world over. She turned and took Kathleen’s hand and said softly,”You can best go about your mission beautifying the road along which you pass, by following the course of a landscape gardener;” Trances Edson approached her timidly and she learned that she was destined to remain a librarian in Ashtabula, until her marriage. Hazel Swedenborg’s uncle was to leave her a million and a half dollars with which to found and maintain a girl’s school in Sweden; Dorothy Palmer’s ambition of becoming domestic art and science instructor atSmith was to become a reality; Gertrude Wessman’s studio for musical instruction to be the center of artistic genius. Ida’s bright young face came before her next and the old gypsy turned to her and smiled: When you have been selected chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, a disappointed rival will try in vain to oust you. John Green, angry at being delayed, began to expostulate and she silenced him with a calm air; I could not place you at first. I have found your star, you shall be the head of the I reasury Department under your distinguished classmate; and you,’ this to Graham Ridgen, may hold a government position as electrical supervisor of coastal equipments ’’ Ernest Scovil’s patience was at last rewarded with, Your fame shall be spread far as an inventor of mechanical toys that satisfy beyond all hopes. She paused, it seemed as though all must have received their decrees, but David Soules struggled thru the line and stood, panting, before her; ar.d she resumed her task afresh. Ah! your Detective Agency can record no failures, your methods will be too satisfactory and your book-keeper and recorder shall have her share of glory; that position is your s,” and she laid her hand on Mary Palmer's arm. Edith Burroughs stretched out her hand in silence and waited but a moment until the fortune teller said, A saleswoman, but wait — of what?—oh, there is an office here, it seems to be a real estate office, only years can reveal that. Her eyes rested on the group and she perceived two more whom she had not seen before, and she called them to her; to Hazel Torsythe she declared, Farm life is the only thing that will keep your broken health together. 1 advise a chicken farm.
