MISS DOROTHY DUNCAN 1 33 L Q wlT1.'DR MRS. LYDIA MOSS BRADLEY KDECEASEDD Mrs. Lydia Moss Bradley Founder of Bradley Polytechnic Institute By Theodore C. Burgess, Director HE first volume of the Polyscope issued in 1901, was dedicated to Mrs- Lydia Moss Bradley, the founder of Bradley Polytechnic Institute, and every issue since that time has contained appropriate and appreciative reference to her and to her noble gift. This pioneer volume naturally contained a full statement in regard to the circumstances leading up to the founding of the school and the purposes which actuated Mrs. Bradley in its establishment. ln this article also as well as elsewhere the chief facts about Mrs. Bradley's life have been presented and it seems unnecessary here to rehearse them in full detail. Mrs. Bradley was born in 1816 at Vevay in the southern part of Indiana. She was accordingly in her 93d year at the time of her death. She had lived a long and useful life. For many years she had looked forward to death with pleasant anticipation as a time of reunion for the broken family. It is a cause for thankfulness that her final illness was brief and that the years of a prolonged old age were'not marked by pain or disease or the failing of mental powers. Her ancestry on both sides were defenders of their country in the Revolutionary struggle and Mrs. Bradley deeply cherished the memory of their services. She was for many years the only real daughter of the Revolution in this part of Illinois. Although her parents were far from poor every member of the family was a worker and no doubt here in her early youth Mrs. Bradley gained the habits of thrift and respect for work and profitable activity which she retained to the end of her life and which had so strong an influence upon her. Mrs. Bradley en- joyed the common school education of the day but added to this a shrewdness of judgment about men and measures, a sort of balance and sanity in thinking which is rarely found even among those possessing far greater opportunities for school training. Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Bradley moved to Peoria and one of their earliest purchases was the farm upon the west bluff of which the present Institute campus forms a part. The Bradleys prospered financially and became important members of the community. The sudden death of Mr. Bradley in 1867 left a large estate in a form such that a character less sturdy must have succumbed before the task of managing it or at least left its care wholly to rep- resentatives. Mrs. Bradley was a strong woman. She met this as she met every emergency. From that date she made her own a plan which had been imperfectly formed in discussions with her husband during her lifetime, to devote their wealth to philanthropy. Each year the plan became more definite in her mind and each year the means of bringing it to a successful fulfilment became increased. Mrs. Bradley could wait where waiting would prove a gain. She could see far into the future and her wisdom in postponing the actual realization of her plan for so many years has been amply justified. Mrs. Bradley lived all of her life in comparative seclusion. She was unostentatious, fond of her home and intimate friends, to many she seemed no doubt foolishly disregardful of the ease and pleasure which large wealth can so readily secure and which to some extent at least are its right. She seemed even to ignore her own comfort. She has been regarded as giving her chief thought and energy for the past twenty years to the accumulation of money an unworthy and narrowing ambition some one says, and truly except for one thing, the noble altruistic aim which inspired her. Devotion to money-getting always in an honorable way becomes a strong and ennohling quality if the end in view be such as hers. Many times she has said to me: These funds are not mine. All that I possess belongs to the Institute. I must make the sum as large as I can for the good of the boys and girls. I want them to profit by it. Economizing for herself, refusing to supply her home with the signs of wealth. she never questioned or objected when lavish expenditure for the Institute was proposed. She would say: I want everything to be the best. Get whatever you need. Founder's Day, October 8th, 1906, might well be regarded as the crowning day of Mrs. Bradley's life. It must have been one of her happiest days, if not the one most full of pleasant reflection and substantial joy. Many elements united to make it a day of general rejoicing. This Founder's Day by its date and by the exercises which marked it commemorated an event of the greatest importance. It was the first of a series of exercises connected with the tenth anniversary of the founding of Bradley Institute. The Institute was to Mrs. Bradley the child of her later years. In a true sense she had given to it the affectionate thought and engrossing care which would have been lavished upon her children had they been permitted to live. She had herself developed the thought, had seen it come into reality and physical being in the Institute, had watched and directed its growth until this tenth anniversary which seemed to mark its coming to full maturity. What greater joy could be bestowed upon a benefactor than to behold with one's own eyes conclusive proof of the beneficence of one's gift. The beauty of the campus and buildings were a delight, the enthusiasm with which she was received by students and friends gave pleasure, but her highest joy was in the good accomplished during these ten years in the lives of the young men and young women made nobler and better fitted for effective service in the world by the founding of Bradley Institute. It was a great source of satisfaction. too, that upon that occasion she was able to announce what was felt then to be the last large gift which she could make in person, a new gymnasium. The day came to a perfect close with the opening of Mrs. Bradley's home to students and her many friends. The events of this founder's day were a source of rare pleasure to her for all the months which followed. Every student at Bradley in the future as in the past will honor the founder with appreciation and gratitude and the City of Peoria and the surrounding community will increasingly recognize the value of the work which Mrs. Bradley has done. 9 1 Grover Baumgartner Polyscope Staff Editor in Chief Wm.

No more we'll meet Vliithin the chapel, where with wisdom deep, Some Prof. propounds a question sage and queer, Or tells some story of the past to guide The students on their way through life's sad course. No more we raise the solemn anthem's sound, Nor join our voices in the loud Amen . To us no more the notes of deans will come, To summon us to hear our doom for jokes Or talks within the chapel's sacred hour. The classroom door is closed to us, where oft VVe slowly entered in with trembling hearts. To History we've no fear of being lateg The English room now holds another class, And we no longer haste with daily themes, To consultation with the English Prof. ZH Senior's Tribute And so from Dutch and French and from the labs, Where strange coneoctions and much fun are made, Are we shut out,efor we are now post grads. We've stood upon the stage in cap and gown, And listened to the last advice to us From some sage man,-we've seen the play, For which the faculty are famed, and we Have given our own. We've vanquished Junior hordes, And dragged the Junior colors in the dust. We've sat our time beneath the pair tree's shade And we've been roasted in the monthly Tech. But now we leave all this to those who come, The halls and classrooms, labs and chapel seats And turn to other lieldsg but whereso'er We go, we still shall keep in mind our life At Bradley Hall, and we'll remember still The happy times that we as students had.

'08 Class History The Class of '08, or The Quest After Brains ' A Pseudo-History. Once upon a time, many years ago, aboutfive hundred and ten years after Columbus discovered America, a crowd of youngsters assembled out under what are now the pair trees, but which were then only common every-day shade trees. The assembled band were all excellent specimens of humanity and many were endowed in special ways. There was Shirtz, longer than 'the rest, perched on his extensive legs high above them. There was Beecher with hair like tufts of prairie grass. A resounding laugh echoing far down St. James' street denoted the peculiar abilities of little Annie Streibich. A little girl named Ethelwyn had the most wonderful curls. Then there was Lynch with much fat, and one Radley and Morris with some size. Werkle had hopes and MacDonald had aspirations. And, too, there were many with expectations and others with possibilities. But one thing they all lacked and this could be clearly seen as they wandered aimlessly about the campus, they had no brains! Do you know what it is that the great man will hand out to the same youngsters, now almost grown men and women, on the coming convocation night? It is their brains, and nothing else! And all done up in a njcffifll aQinf:.pe,-f Thisjs to be the reward of all their struggle for these many years, and don't you tell that I told you what was in the white pack- ages, for some of these youngsters have been making you believe that they had their brains a little ahead of time, don't you know? and imagine that they have a drop on their less fortunate classmates of the past few years. But it is not so, none of them will have their brains before the 19th of June. And, what is more, it is only by a fortunate chance that they will get them then. The conditions in the quest for brains are the same as in the Search for the Grail in times of old. The pilgrim must be fixed in his search and his soul free from obstructions. But alas, among the great concourse of the Class of '08 there were no Galahads, nay, not even one, and yet on the coming 19th of June they will all receive their due quota of brains. The story of how the whole crowd has been able to reach the goal, meet only for a Sir Galahad, is a long and complicated one, and startling to say the least. I give you the story in the words of a member of the class who died and failed to reap the reward of his efforts. As he told me the story with his dying gasps, it is necessarily shortened and contains hardly enough waste breath to be called a literary effort, and yet it tells the tale. On the day of the first gattlwrinf in chapel it was made There are crushed hearts that will not break, and mine, methinks, is one'-lf!!! Bezzzzell. plain to us by the faculty and the students above us that what we lacked was brains. VVe accepted the situation and, to a person, made it our purpose to get some or die in the search. VVe soon discovered that there was no hope of getting them from our fellow students as they were, if anything, worse off than we, and as for the faculty--well, they had brains, but they could not well spare them. So we had to reconcile ourselves to the fact that brains would come to us only after we had followed the example of Sir Galahad and made ourselves fit to have brains. Four years passed and some of us had begun to feel dis- couraged, so We decided to call ourselves together and take an invoice, as it were, to see just how we stood. By this time, of course, many had given up and gone elsewhere to seek their fortunes. Annie's rippling laugh was now only a remembrance and Smiler's smile had faded into Missouri. But new blood had entered: Mahle and Bohl had joined us shortly after the start and Becker, Murduck, and Louise Hannam had come in later. VVe assembled on that memorable day in October of 1906 at about mid-day, elected a chairman and proceeded to business. It did not take the meeting long to discover the pitiable plight we'were in and the almost hopelessness of our case. The chairman had just risen with tears in his eyes and started to propose that we start again with the hope that within ten or twelve years more we might succeed, etc., etc., when some one in the far back of the room arose and said in a deep profundo voice: H And he said unto 313 Confess your sins Mr. Chairman, I think there is no need for this worthy body to lose hope and retrocedeg I have here at my right and my left those who with me have resolved to join you in this quest after brains, and I say, gentlemen, you can but win! As he sat down a profound hush fell upon us all. Then in the midst of the silence the chairman whispered over to me: 'Who is that fellow, I can't recall him? 'Dwinell,' I said. 'Dwinell--Dwinell-where is he from? 'Peoria High Schooll' 'Oh, ye godsl' and the chairman fainted away. Like lightning it spread around the room. 'High School! High Schooll' and each one stared at his neighbor with a blank, bewildered stare. After a while the chairman was revived and with some assistance rose to his feet, 'Fellow creatures, he said, 'a short time ago we were almost hopeless, and We had resolved to begin again, now!-O ye ambulances and police patrols-there is no hopel' With that he sank again to his chair. Hiller next arose for recognition, and began with a sad voice, 'Fellow classmates, we appreciate the situation, there is no longer any hope whatsoever that we may legitimately win what we have Lash sc it0f'g seeking. As we have now a bur- den added to our trouble I think we are justified in seeking them: Come unto meg and be S3VCd.ii-Dl'.BZll1g7ESS. other means of securing the desired brains. I move you that we appoint a committee to frame an idea, a plan, a scheme- you understand-by which we can secure for ourselves and our friends who have just joined us, our due quota of brains by any means whatsoever.' Mr. I-Iiller's motion was carried unanimously and I was appointed with Brother Cushing to frame the idea, etc. Woe unto him who, brainless, seeks to frame an idea! I am dying and Cush will not graduate. I need not tell you how we worked the plan out, for it is beginning to weary me, this talk- ing. The idea was to steal the brains. The difficult questions were where and how. Where the brains were kept I dare not tell. Suffice it to say that after a great deal of bribing and secret work the place was discovered. The famous crooks and pennant hangers, Lynch, Straesser, Spurck and Becker, were engaged to perform the theft, and on the 23d of June, 1907, the deed was done. About thirty brains of various grades and sizes were taken from their place of keeping and placed in the ,hands of the Director, with the sworn statement of Messrs. Hiller, Dwinell, Mahle, Fuener and other reputa- ble church members, that they had been won by honest effort and right living. This is the story as told me by the dying member of the class, who within a few moments after finishing breathed his last. Among his effects was found the most startling discov- ery of all. It was in the shape of a paper, from which I give only a brief extract. It reads: Vllhereas, by the strange chance of fortune it has so turned out that a grievous error was made by those engaged to steal the brains for the Class of '08, that the brains now in the hands of the Director are labeled for and do properly belong to the Class of '09, the following care must be taken in the distribution of said brains: 1. Brains labelled R. Plowe to go to neither Spurck nor Mahle in view of complications that might arise. 2. Brains labeled R. Mann to go to Bohl.-Exact fit. 3. Instruct Doc. Easton not to lose brain while inserting in Mahle's head. 4. Faber-Rockwell must go cahoots as there lacks one brain of being enough. It is not necessary to go through the entire list of provis- ions. The important fact is that by a remarkable turn of for- tune the Class of ,08 after June 19th, will be endowed each one with an excellent set of brains, and the unfortunate Class of 1909, even after June 19th, 1909, will continue as ever before without mind and without brains.

Lindenburg Ellen Westlake 42 A weakness for bright colored hose.-fad' Covjver '09 Class History 1909 For Five Years We had our beginning in the Autumn of 1903. We remember distinctly that at that time there was a certain crowd of dignified individuals who took it upon themselves to see that we began in the right way. These were the Sophs. They call themselves Seniors now, but they are still just as dignified. We shall never forget three characteristics of these Sophs that appealed to us very strongly in the beginning. First we noticed that the boys were already on speaking terms with the girls-a fact that showed us plainly that they had had a year's experience at Bradley. Next we noticed that they were very willing to give us advice on any subject whatever, whether we wished it or not. Eldridge Benton, Bess Morris, and Maj. Farley were probably a special committee appointed for this purpose. We are not quite sure whether Alexander Macdonald was on this committee or not. The third and most noticeable of the characteristics was the fact that Bohl had not not yet entered Bradley. On the other hand, there are probably a great number of things by which the Seniors remember our beginning. Perhaps we, too, can recall a few. We were too new to have any special characteristics as a class except, of course, we were innocent and uneducated as all Bradley Freshmen are. We had among us, however, quite a number of very distinguished individuals. There was Long Slim Stewart, the tallest man who ever came to Bradley, and John Dempsey, his negative reciprocal, Bob Mann was known to everybody on the very first day, although few had ever seen him before, and Jimmie Wilton will always be remembered on account of his utter disregard for the Freshman Law that all good boys observed: But still her tongue Be as noisy as you can, but do not bother the Seniors, or the girls. With these few exceptions our class as a whole made such a good impression on the self-appointed advisors that we were allowed to pass the remainder of the year in comparative peace and quiet. The girls were never molested, and the boys but once, and that when Had Lynch stole our base ball. During this year we watched with interest the frequent struggles between the Seniors and the Juniors, and when we saw the great smears of paint, some wine colored, and some green and white dashed all over the campus we smiled to ourselves as we thought of the great things our class of eighty members would do when we were Juniors. But alas! How things have changed. From this original eighty but ten remain. In the fall of the following year we took our turn at giving advice to the Freshmen, but nothing further need be said about this except that they all needed advice. There are a few things about this second year that we like to remember and talk about. First, of course, is the fact that three of our most valuable members appeared among us for the first time. These are Lester Byron our honored Vice-President, Henry Truitt, once Lester's chum, now our Treasurer, and Anna Bibo. It was this year that the custom of playing ring-around-a-rosie at the Freshmen reception was started. Some of our members were the originators of that game, and we should be very glad to see some loyal Naughty-Twelves revive it again next year. Another great event of this year was Bob Mann's invention of the only possible way to force each girl of a class to sit by a boy. CYes, they had to be forced then.D His plan which was ran on. -Radlfgff 43 carried out very successfully in English 2, was to have all the boys come to class early and seat themselves so that there was only one vacant seat between any two of them. Perhaps the success was partly due to Tommy Knott, who chaperoned this class. This forceful method is no longer necessary, however. During this year we were so busy with our own interests and taking care of the Fresh that we had time to notice only one important change in the characteristics of the crowd that were Sophs in the beginning. This change Was the coming of Bohl. Ever since then he has been a very noticeable characteristic in the Class of 1908. At the opening of our third school year we had two very distinct feelings. We were very happy to think that at last we were in the Higher Academy and out of reach of Freshmen. The other feeling was one of sorrow, for three of our most dearly loved members were with us no more-Walter Dom- browski, Jimmy VVilton and the midget, John Dempsey, and moreover no new members entered the class this year to fill their places. For most of us this year will never be forgotten. At last, after two years of careful training, we had become full-fledged Bradleyites, entitled to all the social and educa- tional privileges. We were now allowed to join in the regular tit was regular thenl Friday afternoon hop. In fact we became positive necessities at the functions tcommonly called do- ings J of the various societies. Imagine a dance without the Voorhees sisters and our honorable Vice-President! Impos- sible. But our greatest advance socially was our adoption of the custom which compelled the boys and girls to spend their vacant hours together in chapel or some more favorable place. A few of us really went so far as to become involved in a case. VVe can all remember them, so they need not be written down. Then there was the Bradley Battalion. We were well repre- sented among those of rank. All of the musicians were mem- bers of our class, also the commanding officer of Company B, and two officers in the Signal Corps. That is honor enough for one year. It was in our last Academy year that we first began to think of ourselves as the class of 1909. The coming of the Academic certificate naturally caused each one of us to look on the graduates with something of that feeling of interest and pride that is generally called class spirit. Then, too, we saw that the bunch who took it upon themselves to begin us in the right way were now under the leadership of Bohl, indulging in class parties, climbing flag poles, and decorating the asbestos curtain with dirty colored letters on a grass colored thing. Their easy victories over the brown and gold caused us to wake up, and we vowed then and there that it would be differ- ent when they had the blue and white to deal with. Then came the graduation from the Academy and with it the loss of some of our oldest members. Among those who left us for- ever at this time were Edna Camren, Tom Chalmers, Ruth Houghton, Marie King and Julia Ulrich. They were the last of the eighty to leave us. The opening of this school year found us with a class of forty. How we held our first meeting, and how the political machine succeeded in electing half their ticket, need not be told here, for we all can remember that. However, one thing must be mentioned, lest the followers of Bohl forget: Blue and white are far superior to black and green as class colors. This is easily shown to be true by the following reasons: First, blue and white were the first colors to fly on the flag pole this year. Second, the green and black hats have disappeared. Third, Seniors have been known to become so fascinated with Junior colors that they themselves have worn the blue and white, 44 She passed her hours among her books. fFaZw' while never once has a Junior been known to wear green and black. It might also be mentioned that Seniors have worn '09 pins. But we will forget the Seniors now and return to our- selves. As we look ourselves over, we find we are composed of some very interesting individuals. First, there are the old charter members: Harry Schweitzer, who, strange to say, never had a case, Grace Lee, whose laugh we shall never for- get, Lucius Fritze, the foot ball player and German shark, the man the Sophs could not haze, Roberts Mann, track manager, chairman of the pin committee, about three sizes larger than when we first knew him, William Hudson, once called Billy Wise of the physics department and a decorator of flag poles, Edith Love, our Secretary, good at making pennants, and as sweet as her name, Grover Baumgartner, a friend of Miss Duncan's, and editor of the Polyscope, Constance Heck- man, a math. shark, successor to Ethelwyn Moss, Fred. Lin- deberg, the machine boss, a friend of the people, and Robert Plowe, our President. Next there are four members who joined us in our second, third and fourth years: Lester Byron, who drifted in from Dwight, every girl's friend, very success' ful on the stage, can do almost anything, and our Vice-Presi- dent, Anna Bibo, a French shark, very demure, Ella Westlake, the heroine of a chemistry explosion, and Henry Truitt, our treasurer and a handy man for the place, well liked for his auto. and motor boat, very fond of a western girl. The third group are those the High School sent to us: Edward Munns, a basket ball shark, nothing more, Susan Kellogg, tall, with large blue eyes and very curly flaxen hair, Hugh Cooper, a member of the Dog House Quartette and often seen in chapel, Louise Helmbold, Assistant Recordress, lives some- where on North St., Merrill Schnebly, history shark, always too busy, Ellen Avery, a socialist, Bess Estep, a friend of Red's, but went to California anyway, Ben. Sager, successor to William Shakespeare, a good vaudeville orchestra, llazel Brown, CIaude's sister, Erma Donathen, the girl with the dreamy eyes, seems to have a pull with class presidents, Ber- nadette Cashin, often goes to chemistry, and Irene l,idle, good at poetry, well liked by everybody, even by some Seniors. Next are the out-of-town people: Marie Knapp, from Pekin, but a great actress and a very sweet girl anyway, Ralph Sey- more, from some place in Connecticut, the boy that the ride from Jubilee made famous, Olive Balcke, formerly of Peoria, now of Quincy, and Melitta Magaret, formerly of Pekin, now of Peoria, always together, Harold Everly, from VVenona, ex- dealer of checks in the lunch room, Marrs Shoop, the dearest boy in school, so a certain Junior girl said, and Mildred Schureman, a good rough-houser, strong as most boys, thinks she could climb higher on a fllag pole than Bob Mann did. The rest of our class are those who have been handed down to us from the class of 1908 for various reasons: Bertha Baughman, a loyal Junior, speaks only when spoken to, Vivian Boniface, a loyal base ball fanette, a friend of Sifsefor a while, Claude Brown, good at bluffing, a very steady going sort of a fellow, Fred. Causey, famous for his tenor voice, David Harris, a friend of Mr. Bryan's, and a long-distance runner, Edward Cushing, vaudeville artist, Bradley's funny man and next year's foot ball captain, and Roy Kellar, still a Senior by mar- riage. We hope that this complete list of the accomplishments of our class will make a favorable impression everywhere.

Der Deutsche Klub The German Club is the most recent organization at Bradley. It began by Bliss Blossom entertaining German 3 at her home, and every one seemed to enjoy it so much that it was decided to meet again the next month. This time it was enjoyed still more and so it was decided to organize a German Club. Accordingly Grover Baumgartner was elected President and Natalia Jobst Secretary-Treasurer. It was then voted to meet regularly once a month, and to make the classes of German 3 and 4 eligible to membership. At the club German only is spoken throughout the entire evening, which of course is a great help to anyone desiring fluency in the German language. The club also listened to some very fine lectures on German literature and German authors by Rev. Margaret. On May 29th the club enjoyed a picnic at the Bibo farm, the trip being partly by train and partly by hayrack. May this be one of the permanent organizations of Bradley.

Mercer, Foot Ball Review 1907 The foot ball season of 1907 was one of the best ever experienced at Bradley. When the call was issued for candidates at the beginning of the season it was found that several of last year's veterans were missing, but the admirable way in which the new men showed up, more than overbalanced the han- dicap sustained in the loss of the old men. Nearly all the teams which Bradley played against, far outweighed her, but the fighting spirit was always present, and never once did the men show any disposition to give up. At the beginning of the season Bradley was handicapped by having no regular field on which to practice. The first game was with Pekin High School, at Lake View Park on October 12, resulting in a score of 24-0 in our favor. The second game was with a so-called Lacon Academy team, on October 18, the score being 27-5, in Bradley's favor. Our third game was played with Wesleyan, on October 26, at Bloomington. This was the first real test on the part of Bradley. The game was played on a muddy field, and neither team could make much headway against the other. In the first half Wesleyan scored a field goal, this being the only scoring of the game. On November 2 we tied the fast heavy team from Normal, the score being 0-0. Normal was afterward awarded the championship of the smaller colleges of central Illinois, and we may be proud of having tied such a team. On November 9 Bradley played Toulon Academy, defeating them by a score of 5-4. It was a fitting finish to our grand season, when on November 23 we defeated Wesleyan by the score of 15-6, thereby wiping out the disgrace of our defeat by them earlier in the season. It ws as in this game that Pfouts, Bradley's strong right end, had his leg broken. Much praise should be given Coaches Lyons and Keithley for their faithful work with the team. F. G.

EZ'.i.7'fJ.f51'+---- -- -e,g.gt,v-+1 1 H - :gg:,e-f- f The Basket Ball Team r, Capt. Basket Ball Review That basket ball will soon rank as high in athletics as foot ball or base ball is a certainty. The interest shown in this branch of college sports in the number of candidates out for the team, and the attendance at the games seems to assure this. While more interest has been shown in basket ball this year than ever before, yet with the advent of the new gymnasium this interest should increase so as to equal that taken in other branches of athletics. I The team this year in spite of the lack of a gymnasium of their own and reasonable hours to practice in, was surely as good if not better than any ever representing Bradley. At the call for candidates about about twenty-live fellows came out for the team. With four of last year's regulars back and this material to choose from, the team was formed. A good second team was also chosen which was of great help to the first team besides making a good record for themselves. The schedule played this year was one of the heaviest ever attempted in basket ball at Bradley. It included Knox, Monmouth who claims the college championship of the state, Hedding, Lincoln, Eureka and Normal colleges. With all of these Bradley broke even. Out of fourteen games played the team won eight and lost six. Seven of these games were played at home and seven out of the city. In the matter of points scored Bradley made 456 to the opponents 433. One point of interest in the record of this year's live is that they played two games requiring extra time, both of which they won. Although only one of the regulars will return next year, yet it is certain that with the material in the second team and the benefits of the new gym Bradley will have as good if not a far better team CHAS.

Lidle, Capt, Base Ball Review 1908 When Coach Holsinger called the candidates together for the first time in March, 1908, the faces of Mellow and Hayward were missing. The absence of these men was not greatly felt, owing to the fact that there was plenty of valuable material to fill these vacancies. Our men were handicapped in their training, as our new athletic field was not quite finished and the rain also did much towards keeping the fellows indoors. The first important game of the season took place on Bradley campus April 16, when Illinois Wesleyan was taken into camp by a score of 8 to 4. On April 20 the first game of the very successful trip was played with the University of Illinois Freshmen at Champaign, where they beat Coach Huff s young hopefuls by a score of 18 to 8. The boys then journeyed over to Charleston, where the Eastern Illinois Normalites administered them their first defeat by the close score of 3 to 1. April 22 Indiana State Normal was defeated at Terre Haute by a score of 13 to 7. On April 23 Millikin was brought to realize the meaning of that date, the resulting score being 6 to 4. What would have proved another easy victory was prevented at Bloomington by rain, when Illinois Normal would have been the victims. On May 2 the above statement was undeniably and irrefutably demonstrated as the men from B. P. I. walked all over the teachers by a score of 15 to 0. i On May 9th those basket ball scores were avenged when we beat High School 9 to 3. On May 13 we were forced to realize the significance of that other most unlucky date when Millikin gave our championship aspirations a setback to the tune of 5-3. On May 10 the Illinois Freshmen were again overwhelmingly defeated, the score being 9-1. This game was the last played before this book went to press. The team played admirable ball throughout the season, winning 12 out of 14 games. The next season should be equally succcessful as practically all of the men will return next year and with the benefits of the new gym, which is hovering near we ought to have a good, championship team. Although we have not declared ourselves champions of the smaller colleges of Illinois, yet figuring by the percentage method, the way all pennants are decided, we stand far above Eastern Illinois Normal and Millikin. All hail the champs. Went skating, 'tis said, Floor hit him, he's dead. -A fmzzbr.

Ebaugh, Capt Track Review 1908 When Coach Norwood made his appearance this Spring, the track and field were in very poor condition. The call for candidates was cheerfully responded to, however, and the training started in earnest. When the first week had about passed, it began raining and con- tinued to do so for the greater part of the season. With no gym our men could do nothing but sit around and patiently wait for the sun to shine. The annual interscholastic meet, which took place on April 25th, was well attended, and the great number of entries was quickly run off. In this meet several of the old interscholastic records went by the board. Chillicothe came out first with Peoria High School a close second. Such men from our Academy as Mason and Davis represented us. On May 23rd the first annual Intercollegiate Meet was held on Bradley campus. In this meet Fawcett broke the school record for the hammer throw. Ebaugh took first in the high jump, Lidle second in the shot put, and Plowe showed up well in the 220, finishing third. The meet was won by Knox, Bradley getting fifth place. With a new gym on the way, and with our newly improved field, Bradley ought to have next year a team fully equal to any of Central Illinois. Fair one leaves him, hopes fled, Heart broken, l1e's dead. -A S0f7h0il1076 50-Yard Dash 100-Yard Dash 220-Yard Dash 440-Yard Dash 16-lb. Shot 16-lb, Hammer Discus .

Illinois VVesleyan was second with 23, Millikin third 1229, Monmouth fourth 1l7il, Bradley fifth 11420, Lombard sixth 169, lllinois College seventh 15131. lllinois Normal and Hedding tied for last with 101 points each. The meet was a grand success, as it brought together the best athletes of which lllinois can boast. Ebaugh, the Bradley jumper, who is without exception the best in the state, took first in the high jump which proved the most interesting of the field events. He easily made 5 feet 654 inches and could have done much better had he been forced. Becker took third in this event. Fawcett, one of our Iforological entries, took first in the hammer throw, breaking the Breadley record for this event. Lidle took second in the shot put. Plowe showed well in the 220-yard dash, finishing neck and neck with Gordon, winner of third place. Supporters of Bradley's track team should be more than proud over their showing. In spite of the fact that Bradley did not have the benefit of a gymnasium, the wearers of the red and white did remarkably well, due to the excellent work of coach Norwood who was engaged to train our men. The meet was excellently managed owing to the large number of competent officials. Dr. J. E. Raycroft, of the University of Chicago was referee, and Harry Gill, of Illinois, was starter. Other well known college men assisted. This intercollegiate meet was an experiment, but there is little doubt but that hereafter it will be a permanent feature of Bradley athletic events. 98 Please go away and let me sleep. fBa!!ance. rogram E.z.....L-- --... ,.- , -,,....,-.--, One night me an' Jaspah went a-huntin' foh ah coon, We could'n lin' no lante'n, so we tuk along de moon.

La. Lambda Phi 1-ni:?' 2,1 Va,-if '.2l Oh, ye of the busy, careless world, Stop and listen and think, Let go for a moment your troubles an Forget the joys ye drink. Little ye reck and little ye care How the rest of space moves on, For ye have not ever thought at all That at last the end will come. VVhy does this world exist at all, Why are we here on its face, VVhat have you done-I ask you now! E'en to deserve a place? VVhy lights the sun the earth by day? VVhy gleams the moon by night? VVhy shine ten million little stars? Why the wild meteor's flight? The planets in the heavens Care not if ye live or die, Yours may be joy or sorrow, Yet still they pass silently by. A Mood But there must be a purpose in it all- Aye, and order, too- A power unknown, unseen, unsought, Which these great things dost do. cares, This great Unkown must see and feel Of things beyond our earth, A universe beyond our ken, And countless miles in girth. Who knows what this great power can be, Has seen him, understands? Who can e'er even comprehend The compass of his hands? I cannot ever hope to guess The purpose of our life. 'Tis far beyond the sons of men To know for what their strife. And so as ye work or as ye play, Stop a minute and think: For the world is large and ye are small, And ye may be on life's brink. G. And he said unto them: Come unto meg Confess your sins and be saved. -Dr. Burgess. G P l 1515 4,-i The Eyes of Allah LL day long our four Arabs had been unusually restless, gathering together and apprehensively discussing some- thing. Fearing they might be plotting, Darney and I decided to keep watch during the night, and as soon as the sun set, began our vigil. The short Egyptian twilight was soon over, and one of those dark, awe-inspiring nights, which one notices only on the desert, was upon us. I As we sat by our tent flaps, we . l discussed our expedition. We had I started out from Cairo a fortnight before to find the lost city of Samaria, which tradition said lay to the south-west, but as yet we had found no traces. For awhile we talked, and then the grandeur of the night suppressed our conversation. One by one the stars had appeared, until now, from horizon to horizon, We saw innumerable beams of light. The Southern Cross hung in its majestic splendor in the southern heavens. All was quiet. There was not even the call of a night birdge absolutely noth- ing, to break the silence of the night. Suddenly we heard a mysterious rumbling, far away in the distance. At the same instant, from the south-west, two intense streams of light shot forth, disappeared, and then shone on again with undiminished brightness. All became bright as day. Darney and I stood overcome with awe. Our Arabs fell prostrate on their faces, filled with terror, their hands clenched and their bodies twitching. Still the uncanny rays of light, appearing just like two eyes, shone on, then suddenly they ceased as mysteriously as they had begun. All was silent as before. For some time Darney and I stood as if dazed, then we both asked, What was it?,' We conjectured all manner of things. It looked like the search-lights of a war ship, but the nearest body of water in that direction was the Atlantic, thou- sands of miles away. We asked a native if he knew. It is Allahf' he replied in a low voice. Once in every year, du- ring this season, he comes to earth for six nights. Those rays are his eyes and that noise his footsteps as he walks about searching evil doers. Allah, Allah alone is great! The next night the two mysterious rays of light appeared just as before, but they lasted over an hour. Never had we seen anything so uncanny and mysterious. Summoning our courage we decided to travel toward the source of the light and discover the cause. Our Arabs at once refused to accompany us, saying that whoever had journeyed toward that light had died. Allah had been angry and had killed them in a terrible manner. l3l1 How green you are and fresh in this old world. -190111. So Darney and I went on alone. That night the rays again filled us with amazement, but lasted still longer than on the preceding night. The next day about sunset, we neared an ancient stone idol. It was a representation of a man's head and neck. As we approached closer, we noticed its immense size. The neck where it rested upon the ground, seemed like a cathedral tower, and the face was in proportion. It's most peculiar feature, however, was the eyes. These seemed not to be Cut in the stone, as in ordinary figures, but through it, as if the head were hollow. We camped that night on the southwestern side of the idol, right at its base, and to our surprise, did not see the rays. Suddenly I heard Darney, who had wandered around the idol, cry out in amazement. I ran toward the sound. I saw the light, as on the other nights. Two intense rays were streaming forth-but out of the idol's eyes. What caused them F There was no combustion, yet this uncanny light streamed forth, seemingly from nothing. Suddenly it ceased. I felt Darney's hand in the darkness. It was cold and wet with perspiration. The next day in examining the base of the idol, I found, cut in the stone, a series of steps leading to the top. Here we discovered a small aperture and entering, we stood inside the head, which was hollow. In the center and on a line with the eyes was a mass of greenish, translucent stone, resembling glass. Why not stay up here tonight and see where the light comes from? suggested Darney. For a momentl thought of what the Arab had said and hesitated, but finally l consented. After providing ourselves with smoked glasses we again entered the head. Sunset came. The short Egyptian twilight passed and it was night. Suddenly the inside of the head was lighted by a blinding glare, like the sun at mid-day. Our eyes were hardly able to bear the strain, although protected hy the glasses. But what caused the glare? lt came from the glass-like stone, which glowed like molten irong but as ,we touched it we found it quite cool. I happened to glance upward, there, just peeping through a small rift, which we had not noticed before, was a star. The rift is very small and therefore the movement of the earth will soon bring the star out of line, l thought. Then we can tell if the star is concerned with the mystery. Our wait seemed ages. But slowly the star shown less and less through the rift. Suddenly all became dark e the light had ceased --and the star was no longer in sight. Vie had solved, at least, part of the mystery. The seventh night there were no rays. For six nights these had appeared and then no more, just as the Arab had said. But strangest of all was the stone which in some way intensified the starlight. We tried to remove this glass-like mass but could not, it was too heavy or too firmly fastenedg stranger still it could not be chipped. Finally, however, we did succeed in obtaining two small pieces as large as a small marble and with these we left the idol.

He reported to me with many expres- sions of wonder, that he had been unable to analyze it. All his tests had failed. Absolutely unknown reactions had taken place. HF if SK SK After other trials we gave up trying to discover what this stone was. Nor did we ever discover what caused the rumbling or whether chance or design had so placed the rift that only six nights in a year a star would shine through it. The only thing we know is that six nights in every year the Eyes of Allah shine out upon the vast stretches of the desert. G. C. M., 1908.

N N devout, because their minds were otherwise engrossed. Some slept, some gazed out of the windows, and others looked at their neighbors. To this latter class belonged Aaron Lovejoy, a deaf mute with a passionate admiration for Jane Jenkins, having worshipped her at H respectful distance ever since they had been children. In church, Aaron divided his time between looking at Jane and making sketches of her on the margin of his hymn book. Although she did not reciprocate his tender sentiments, yet she did like him, and often talked to him on her fingers. Whatever conversation was carried on between them, Jane always had to take the initiative, for his misfortune had made him so timid and sensitive that he never made advances to any one. At this time, the popularity of the singing school was at its height. Every Tuesday evening Jane and one of her younger brothers went to the sing. Aaron was always there too, although he was not much of a musician. On one memorable night he did something so bold that he must have astonished even himself. He passed a note to Jane, asking if he might see her home. To say that she was surprised would be to speak very mildly, for it was well known that Aaron Lovejoy was an arrant coward. That he could screw up his courage to walk a mile and a half with a girl, and then come home alone was inconceivable. However, Jane said yes, and they started out as soon as singing school was over. Just imagine how comical they looked, starting down the road, first one and then the other forming words with his fingers held out in the clear moon-light.

As .lane and her escort neared the place where the road turned into the woods, Aaron walked slower and slower. The spaces between his remarks became longer, and his hands trembled perceptibly. When they reached the woods gate, he turned and faced her. She commenced to rack her brain to think of words to frame her refusal so that it would be gentle yet firm. When she looked up at him, his fingers were moving with feverish haste and she spelled out, not an ardent avowal of love, but these words: Miss Jane, do you mind if I don't go any farther with you? It looks dark in the woods, and I have to go home all alone. Good night! R. L.

Cala was the greatest warrior who had ever fought on the Stone. For ten long years the little army under his leadership had held the mighty army of the Aztecs at bay. But starvation so decreased the ranks of Cala's army, that finally, in the great battle of Tlaxcala, the Taltecs were defeated, and Cala himself was taken to Mexico as a prisoner, that he might be made to fight for the amusement of the Aztecs. This, then, was the cause of the great excite- ment of the people. They were not only expecting to see the greatest contest that ever had been fought upon the Stone, but they fully expected to see the death of Cala, the Taltec, whose very name they hated. Never in the history of the city had a prisoner been victorious on the Stone, for, although this contest was supposed to give him a last chance to fight for his life and freedom, it really gave him almost no chance at all. And so the Aztecs felt certain that Cala would meet his death as all other prisoners had. He was lead by a priest to the center of the arena, where there was a large, flat stone, about three feet thick, and about twelve feet in diameter. Fastened to the middle of this stone was a heavy copper chain, which the priest fastened about one of Cala's ankles. The Taltec was next given the sword and shield with which he was to make the last effort to save his life. The next instant six young Aztec noblemen, covered with bright, flashing copper armor, rushed toward the stone, each one eager to be the one to gain the glory of killing the great Taltec chief. In order to gain his freedom, Cala, chained to the stone as he was, must fight and kill these six warriers. The only condition in his favor was that but two of the Aztecs might be on the stone at the same time. But in spite of the apparent hopelessness of this battle, there was no trace of fear in Cala's heart. He was filled with the one determination to sell his life as dearly as possible. At a given signal from the priest, one of the Aztecs sprang to the stone, determined to strike the first blow. But with one mighty sweep of his sword, Cala sent the fellow reeling from the stone with a mortal wound. But instantly two of the other warriors were on the stone, and the fight was on in earnest. A few minutes of sharp fighting reduced Cala's opponents to four, while he himself was as yet unharmed. Just as he dealt the death-blow to a third Aztec, Cala received VVould that my all too solid Hesli would HlClI. --Rtllfft'l'. 141 1 2-L-L-a+l..--4-1 fe- 7-1 ..... a heavy blow on his left shoulder. As he turned quickly to ward off a second blow from the same direction, he slipped on the bloody surface of the stone, and fell to his knees, his sword flying off the stone far beyond his reach. As the Aztec rushed at him for the last blow, Cala made a peculiar sign, touching in succession with his right hand, his forehead, his chest, his left and then his right shoulder. Instantly a sharp cry from the priest stopped the onrush of the Aztec warrior. Mounting the stone, the little man in the black robe pointed toward the sky, and called out, The token of the eagle! The contest must cease l All eyes were turned in the direction pointed, and there, soaring slowly round and round, they saw a large eagle. A murmur of disappointment swept over the people, but they made no attempt at violence, for the word of the priest was absolute. Hastily unfastening the chain about Cala's ankle, the priest hurried him from the arena. As soon as they were out of the sight of the spectators, the priest turned toward Cala, and, looking into his eyes, said, Your death sign saved you. The eagle meant nothing. I' too, am a descendant of the ancient tribe of Nahma. Had I known you to be of this tribe, I could have set you free long ago. Follow me and your escape shall soon be made. He then led Cala through an underground passageway to the temple. Here, in the priest's own sacred chamber, the Taltec's wound was dressed. He rested in this place till about midnight, and then he was taken through another passage, to a secret exit on the outside of the city wall. The priest took him across the lake in a small boat, and set him on the farther shore, a free man once more, saved by the sign of Nahma. R.

The valley was cov- ered with a great concealing forest except where the clearing had been made for the little Indian town on the river bank. But tiny wreaths of smoke as they curled their way up through the dense foliage for mile after mile along the river, gave evi- dence to the half-starved handful of watching Miamis on the Great Rock, that though not to be seen, there were hundreds and thousands of cruel and bloodthirsty enemies waiting there below. If one had been a careful observer he would have seen from the top of the rock that far up the valley and beyond where the pillars of smoke rising from the Iroquois camps were to be seen, was another tiny blue curl that indicated the presence of some lone warrior's camp. By the side of this sol- itary lire sat a young Indian. He was a tall, handsomely built fellow, and the fire as it cast its glare on his face, showed the features of a native of the section, which were gentler in out- line and far more pleasing to look at than the features of the rough savages that were gathered around the Iroquois fires. He did not remain still long, however, but within a few min- utes rose to his feet and crept stealthily, and without the sem- blance ofa noise, out of the range of the fire light into the forest beyond. He had not gone more than a hundred yards when he stopped, listened-the hoot of an owl rose with melancholy distinctness alone out of the noiseless night. Ogallah, for such was his name, changed his course to the right, picking his way 145 A squirmy, wiggly one. -jzzdy Coopfr with the keenest of instinct, without a noise and without a stumble. Again the owl cried and again he changed his course, emerging at length at the river bank, where another warrior, evidently of his own tribe, stood waiting for him. Q77 Is the canoe with you. Ogallah asked. Yes, responded Incas. With this Ogallah vanished again into the forest, but soon returned, bearing on his shoulders blankets, a bow of stout hickory and deer thong, a deer's quarter, and some grain in a large sack. These he placed in the canoe which Incas had drawn out from under a huge bunch of moss. He disappeared again, returning with more blankets and food. Then without further delay, they pushed the little skilf out into the swift current of the stream and sped noiselessly along with it. The waters whirled around the base of the Great Rock at a tremendous speed, but in their flight they disturbed not the dignity of this huge monster of the plains. Indeed, the waters in their turbidity seemed abashed by its mere presence, for as they dashed by they quieted themselves, and in and around the many hollows in the wall of the rock many a dashing wave lay in a sober, quiet pool. The little band of Miamis on top, too, paid as little attention to the movement of the waters as the Great Rock itself. They knew there was no danger from the Iroquois on that side, they concentrated their vigilance on the landward edge of the shelf where lay the only possible access to their refuge. But to Little Water and her companion there was something of all-absorbing interest in the waters at the base of the precipiee. Crouched on a small ledge a few feet below the top of the rock the two Indian maids stretched far out to catch the slightest sound from the darkness below. Surely he will come, whispered Little VVater anxiously. Her friend nodded in a frightened way. Listen-I hear something! They both stretched farther over the edge and peered into the darkness, but no second sound came to their ears. Beside the girls lay an immense coil of rope of intertwined roots, plants, and twigs, one end of which was fastened around the base of a huge pine, while the rest lay in two great coils. lt had been the duty of Little Water and Antumwa to mend this rope whenever the Iroquois succeeded in cutting it when it was let down with a small dipper to get some of the precious water of the river. One day while working at the rope Little VVater found on this same little ledge an arrow carved with the totem of the Illinois. Well she knew that only one would dare to remain here while the whole land was overrun with the dread Iro- quois, and well she knew from that moment on that some- where in the valley waiting was her lover, Ogallah, son of the Great Ghief of the Illinois. Many an afternoon had she spent in scanning the valley as far as she could see, but nothing had been there but Iroquois, Iroquois by hundreds, Iroquois by thousands, but always Iroquois. This very afternoon, how- ever, while adding a strip to the rope, which had been cut by the enemy the night before, she had been attracted by the cry Not because your lxziir is curly. -Ilumjy HT -....--.i.,.K .,., . ., of a wolf' which came far across the river below. She had stopped and listened-once-againe. There was something strange about the long drawn notese and at last she had dis- covered. It was not the cry of a wolf, but as she listened eagerly she caught the sound of her own name. Again as she listened, her heart pounding at her breast, she caught distinctly the following: to-o-o-o- ni-i-i--ight, rr-o-o-opef' She flew to her friend Antumwa and the two had labored feverishly at the rope until dark. It was now well towards midnight and still Qgallah had not come. Little Water began to fear that he had been taken by the Iroquois. Suddenly from the darkness below there came the faint too-whoo of an owl. It was repeated. Little Water started and putting her hands to her lips gave an answering hoot that sounded far across the valley. Quick, Antumwaln she cried, the rope! Hastily they lowered it over the edge and then watched it with eager eyes. It tautened and in less than a minute Ogallah stood beside them on the ledge. Without a word he seized Little VVater in his arms, fastened the rope loosely about her, and let her carefully down into the darkness. Next he low- ered Antumwa in the same way. Scarcely had her head dis- appeared from sight when the voice of Incas rang out in a clear and unguarded cry from below. Quick, Qgallah, quick! the Iroquois! There was not a moment to lose. Qgallah lowered An- tumwa with a speed that caused the rope to burn his hands. Then, wrapping his own arms tightly around the rope he leaped far out from the rock. He struck the water with a tremendous splash but gained the canoe safely, where the two maidens lay in the bottom and where Incas sat poised with his paddle already in the water. He had no sooner climbed into the boat than a canoe, with three fierce looking Iroquois in it, appeared around the point ofjutting rock immediately above them. Quick, Incas! commanded Ogallah, Paddle for your life! The Iroquois wore their fiercest war paint and had prob- ably been bent on some expedition against the Miami on the rock when some probable incautious sound from Incas or the maidens had been echoed from the great hollows in the rock wall and had attracted them. But the alert ears of Incas had caught the dip of their paddles while they were still a consid- erable distance up stream. As the Iroquis canoe sped towards them, Ogallah sent an arrow through the breast of the first warrior. The second sent back an arrow which succeeded in piercing the shoulder of Incas though wounding him but slightly. At this point Incas had turned the canoe in the current. As the war-whoop of the Iroquois had been taken up now by other bands farther up stream and on both banks, Ogallah united his strength with that of his comrade in pushing forward the canoe, which by their combined efforts sped over the water, redoubling and trebling the speed given to them by the furious current of the river. All along the shore the shouts ofthe Iroquois resounded, but here they all rushed to the Great Rock, not knowing that part of their quarry was fleeing on the wings of the Great Water. That night the Iroquois made a sortie and the death of their great Chief Pontiac was avenged, for not a Miami was left to tell the tale of the slaughter. But down the river towards Saint Louis sped Little Water and Antumwa with their warrior loves nor after the first encounter did the pursuing Iroquois once catch sight of them. B. S.

I was soon awak- ened, however, by an ominous clanking which seemed to come from the direc- tion of the stairs. Suddenly my door was thrown wide open and a knight in full armor, vizor down, gauntleted, and with naked sword, obstructed the only exit of the room. Ha! said he, thou son of evil ancestry, I have thee now where thou canst not escape me. As thy ancestors cut off my line, so now will I cut off thine. So saying he bound my an- kles and approached the head of my bed while he tested the keenness of his blade. IGH?

Hold, said I, H Who are you and what do you mean by so entering the house of a citizen of the United States and demanding his life for deeds which he has not committed and of which he knows nothing P He had reached the head of my bed and was holding his sword in such a position that its slightest movement would de- capitate me. H Stop, I say, hold, halt, desist. Before continuing in this business answer me a few questions. First, who are you?,' I am, said he, third son of the most noble and lion- orable Eurico Dandolo, Doge of Venice. Perhaps I'm no student, but I make a hit with the ladies. --.f'1ylfuan1'. 149 Z. 3L4L,1..eA,.,., Having just finished reviewing some ancient histories, I remembered that Dandolo had spent the years between 1108 and 1205 upon this earth. Hoi said I, you're carrying a grudge for a pretty long time, aren't you? The house of Dandolo remembers for always the favors and evils done it, said my visitor. I would to heaven my bloomin' ancestors had been of the kind that confers favors instead of evil deeds, thought I. A happy thought struck me and I put it into words immediately, thuswise: Say, I have an idea. State it, for it will be your last, said my armored vis- itant. If you'll not interrupt me again, I will, said I rather warmly, for I liked not his manner toward me. Did you have any wine when you were with your most honorable father? W'ine? I know of no such word, was his meditative reply. Here was my chance. I would make him drink the contents of the large ink bottle which stood on my table. Wine, I said, that stuff that makes you see two birds where you saw but one before-made ofthe juice of grapes f and- Ah, I remember! I would that I had some of that which was once in my father's cellar. Better never passed the palate of man, is my belief. KIJ ' . ' Q1 ust the thing, I have lt, I exclaimed. Do you see that bottle on my table? No, not that one, that is red ink, but the other, the blue one. Yes, that's it. Now that is wine which has made its mark. With it you can put down trouble or write joy on the face of any living man. The unwelcome guest had uncorked the bottle and was raising it to his lips when I was again inspired. Wait, said I. Surely there is nothing I would enjoy more than to see such an accomplished and praisworthy knight as yourself partake of one of my best mixtures. Pour in a quantity of that brownish liquid in that bottle on my dresser, that is iodine and the more you put into the wine, the better it will taste. He did as I directed and soon had a vile-smelling and about as distasteful a compound as man could devise. He smelled the mixture and suddenly exclaimed, You're right in saying you have it, for this smells almost exactly like that I used to drink at my father's table. So saying he drank nearly half of the contents of the bottle at a single draught. Ha! could anything taste better? he said after regaining his breath. I could not longer refrain from laughing and burst into a jolly good laugh. He immediately come toward me saying, 150 Iixactly her sister's parallelfl -L11rz'!e fllafvfv Why do you laugh? Why do you laugh, I say. Speak or you will finish your merriment in the presence of the gods. My healthy laugh became hysterical andl could not stop to explain. He shook me and said, Are you ready to stop? but still I continued in the throes of laughter. He placed the blade of his sword against my neck and I felt the cold steel passing through the flesh and the blood gushing forth. Ho! it was only a dream, for as the steel passed through my neck I was awakened by a hoarse laugh, and opened my eyes to discover my big brother standing beside my bed, hold- .G ing a glass of cold water which he was allowing to drip, drip, on the spot where I thought the blade had entered. As l moved, Busker Bill, the cat, arose from my feet. Ihave since come to the conclusion that the elanking of the knight's heels upon the steps must have been the elattering of the pans caused by the cook as she prepared breakfast. And even to-day as I look back upon that dream, I laugh at the ardor with which the worthy knight of the house of Dondolo praised my wine, which consisted of about equal proportions of blue ink and iodine. l K X 1911 1. ..' ., dd The Awakening HE scholar laid aside his pen with a sigh of satis- faction, and gathered together the closely written pages that littered the table before him. Then he settled back comfortably in his chair, and 'I ' looked around him,- at the book-cases with their heavy glass doors, displaying rows of richly bound books, at the busts of Plato and Socrates on the mantle-piece, at the pictures of Feuerbach and Kant and Schopenhauer on the walls, at the bright, crackling grate fire, at the thick rugs on the floor, and the manuscript which he had just finished on the heavy oak table before him. Ah yes! that manuscript! a timely and seasonable writing was that, for it contained the scholar's opinion of the old fairy tale with which people had deluded themselves for ages. He smiled as he thought of the keen sarcasm with which he had drawn a picture of the new-born Jesus, lying there in an open barn, on a cold and wintry December night, how foolish to believe such a story! How inconsistent with the very laws of nature it was to suppose that a star should suddenly and with- out cause appear in the sky, and should float around, not fol- lowing a fixed course. A powerful article indeed! And when it should be published, the faith of thousands of men in the old Ignorance is bliss, so l'm supremely happy. 4Bra1m'f. 151 story would be destroyed, because, with thousands of men, the scholar's opinion on matters of this kind was final. As the scholar sat musing, the door of the library opened and a boy entered the room-a fat, chubby little fellow of four or five years, with black hair and bright, black eyes. He toddled across the room, climbed into the scholar's lap, not without some effort, and putting his fat little arms about the scholar's neck, kissed the bearded face. The scholar, holding the child fast with one arm, rose, and turned out the bright light with his free hand. He passed across the room to a chair before the grate. Here he sat with the child in his lap, and gazed into the bright flames. The child fell asleep, and his deep, regular breathing was the only sound in the darkened room. As the scholar watched, the fire seemed to fade from his sight. He was no longer in the comfortable library. He stood upon a high mountain. Below him he saw dimly a broad plain that faded away into the blackness of the night. As he watched, a wonderful bright star shone out from the sky and cast its light on the plain beneath. The scholar followed the rays with his eyes, and saw that the light was cast on a small, indistinct object on the plain below. Involuntarily, the scholar descended the mountain toward the object lying there on the plain. As he approached, it took shape. It was a human being-a child- it had black hair-it was his child! The scholar picked it up-the body was cold and dead! The scholar awoke with a start. His whole body was trembling with terror. His heart thumped loudly with dread. He looked down, saw the child in his lap, his chest rising and falling with his quiet breathing. Seizing the child in his arms, he covered his face with kisses. A prayer of thanks came from his lips. He rose and laid the child on a sofa. He took the manuscript from the table, and laid it upon the dying embers of the grate. The flames hesitated a moment, then leaped up. The room was lighted with the glare of the burning paper. The scholar looked out the window. The sky was flushed with the dawn of a Christmas morning. F. J. B., 1908.

I had to speak to you, he said, with his queer Italian accent, You have knelt there so many days. It is right? And he stooped over quickly and fumbled in an em- barrassed way among the pieces of glass on the floor. She did not answer and he hurried on, seeming to feel that he had not sufficiently justified his speaking to her. You must love the mother, you have been so faithful, and again he stood up with the piece of glass he had been look- ing for in his hand. Through his abrupt explanation she had stood at the en- trance of the pew as if to leave it, but with the surprised look still on her face. The soft, golden light came through the win- dows more strongly with the waning afternoon sun and lit up her face, making her seem more beautiful to the Italian artist than on any of the previous days, when he had looked with wonder and admiration at the girl as she knelt in the old seat. I had not noticed you before, and she glanced casually at him, for to her this unconventional Italian was only one of the new and interesting things to be seen in the old world. At home it would have been an insult, but his soft drawl and deference of manner made her quite forget. What are you doing, she asked, as he started behind the great sheet hung over one of the windows. He looked at her puzzled, then put down the glass and came over and sat down in front of her. Shall I tell you? I wonder if you will understand. The other day as you knelt before the altar I wondered if you would understand. Iam making my soul window. But as she frowned questioningly at him, he added, H But there, you cannot know until you see it. Some day soon you shall tell me. You shall look at my soul window and tell me. You like art? You know the great masters. Oh, yes! I came here to enjoy the galleries and to com- plete my studies of the masters. I, too, love them. l spent the morning in the gallery near. The wonder of them grows upon me every day. I- Then you will appreciate my soul-window, he inter- rupted her, I know you will see it all as I see it. You will see the harmony of color and I painted her eyes like yours. One day I caught a glimpse of them as you went away. You will see my soul-window as I do. Only wait. He was leaning forward talking to her earnestly and the girl found herself wondering in an indifferent way who this man was, for surely he was no ordinary painter. But the peculiarity of the situation dawned upon her and she rose to go. He watched her pass through the doorway into the vesti- bule of the little cathedral saying softly to himself, My lady, my lady, and she loves the masters. Remember, Bobby, that the too tender heart is the worlds pincushionf' I-352 ,X strange feeling of interest drew her to the little quaint cathedral again the next day, although the afternoon before she had told herself she would not pray there again. She found the Italian stooping over the little pieces of glass as she entered, so she went quietly into the pew and let the peace and quiet gloom steal into her heart as she knelt there. She rose to find the Italian calmly contemplating her from across the room. He seemed to idle the hour she was there. He began the conversation as abruptly as on the previous day. My soul window has the red brown hair. I caught just the red tint, thinking of yours as I painted. It was easy to see the color, but it was a revelation when I put it in. The sun came through the window lighting it up just as yours is lit by that ray through the yellow, three-cornered piece over theref' She laughed and moved uneasily as if the yellow ray burnt her. Nly hair is pretty, she said, with a frank love for the artistic. H In my country it is not uncommonf' In your country, in your country! It is all so wonderful. And do they all have wonderful deep eyes like yours? Yes, she laughed amusedly. They all have eyes like mine. But in our country men are not permitted to remark upon them, and she laughed again as she went out. The painter stood there looking long at the vacant door- way with the same sad smile as if he still heard her laugh. Such grace, such a laugh, such eyes, he mused, as he carefully fitted two pieces of glass together, handling them lovingly, almost reverently. I wonder if she will see my soul- windoweso perfect -I wonder. He sat long in the gathering twilight of the old church, looking absently at the great sheet that was soon to be taken down to reveal the soul window as he called it. A week, then two passed, and each day the girl walked to the little cathedral. Her interest, purely a disinterested one, although she found the painter diverting and really help- ful in her research. They talked much of art, the old masters and their work, and often it led them into other topics. When- ever she talked with him, she left feeling that she had appeared to an advantage with him. This feeling made her at best, and when she confided to him some of her pet theories of color schemes or conventional designing, she could not help seeing the look of admiration in his eyes. He had talked much of his soul window, and While she had taken great interest in it, she went to the little cathedral the day the curtain was to be drawn aside, little knowing what the day meant to him. 'He had chosen to have her the sole witness. She should be the first to look upon his work in which were years of toil and all the ideals of his life. As she came in and knelt for a moment, he stood silently waiting, then hurried to her. When I draw the curtain you will tell me all. Ilove it so I cannot judge. It is my ideal but it is in the glass. Iam wondering if she exists in the flesh. 15.4 XV:-tiring all that learning, lightly as a flower. -Belly Exfffv. That was the first suggestion he had given her as to his subject. He arose quietly and drew the great sheet. But he did not look at the picture. He looked at her. She sat long gazing intently at it. She might have known. It was a Madonna with a child in her arms. He grew impatient and turned to her with What think you? She drew her breath deeply, then said, in almost a whisper: It is wonderful! wonderful! How gracefully she stands! How well proportioned! And Iam so glad her robe is white. Why, her fingers are long and slender, like mine. You were thinking of her hands that day you asked me to take off my gloves. Your memory plays you no tricks. She paused, still studying the figure. Well! He was standing behind her and she did not notice that he was scarcely breathing. How wonderful her hair is. Is mine really as beautiful as that? and she touched it consciously. Yes, quite as beautiful. It was a colorless tone but she did not notice. He could not bear to wait. He would not wait for she might purposely neglect it. She had seen his window but she had not seen his soul. Do you like the Mother's face? he asked trying care- fully to conceal all the anxiety and feeling he felt. Oh, yes! Her face is lovely and are my eyes like that P Yes, quite like that, quietly. Her features are lovely, she Went on without looking at him, quite regular, and you have given her a mouth quite to How green and fresh you are my liking. There, I have praised it in full. I can say no more. You are to be congratulated, and she extended her hand in a friendly, cordial manner. I must go now, she went on, not noticing that he took her hand mechanically or that from the pained look on his face that something had cut deeply. Good- by, and perhaps we may meet again sometime, who knows ? She was gone. He looked from the vacant doorway to the picture, then carefully picked up his tools, not daring to allow himself even to think it over yet. She had missed the soul of his window. He walked home in the spring twilight, climbed the stairs to his little room, lit his pipe after a little supper of hard bread and cheese. He sat late into the night quite motionless, lying back in the old, roomy chair, the home of all his dreams and air-castles and it was here he brought his sorrows. His pipe had long since gone out and as he slowly rose and knocked out the ashes, he spoke loud, as if he found relief in the sound of his own voice. She did not see my soul-window. She did not see it, he repeated to himself. She saw the features, he contented himself, but the look I spent years trying to understand, that look she could not see. No, she was not youngf' he argued with himself. No, it was not that, she just could not see it. Then he seemed to sum it all up for himself as he carefully and deliberately turned down the light. She was so perfect, but so empty. She did not see my soul-window. l will never paint again. But it cannot be true that so perfect a creature could miss the finer sense. He slowly shook his head as he blew out the light. F.

They thought the Juniors would not get To wear it on their sleeves. The Juniors did not Want' to wear The green, so in the night They sent the rain to wash the green, And turn it into white. Of course the pennant we could not leave, For we could hardly wait, Till on the school we got, and had The pennant down by eight. When the Seniors found that we Had stolen their tin and black, They got most awful sore because We would not give them back. -A Junior Lots of men would leave their footprints, On time's eternal sands of grace Had they gotten mother's slippers At the proper time and place. VVe all wonder what would have happened-- If Bradley had played Knox in football. If green ribbons had not looked so pretty on black hats. If Mahle had not had to study for the debate. If we had never had a gym. If the Seniors had not had Bohl to lead them. If Shirtz could always have taken the girl he wanted. If the children in Miss Blossom's classes had not been so naughty. If the Seniors had had to pay a dollar for their box seats, or If they had not used the surplus to increase their member- Aship. Cask the stage hands at the Grandi. If some one had not spilled blue paint all over the bleachers. If Sanford had never met Miss Bailey. If no one had ever been late to an eight o'clock class. If the Seniors could have had their colors on the flag pole first. Addalena DeLent in her excitement over the game, Oh, girls! Look, that fellow has thrown his face away.

Some- body asked him if that's the nearest he'd ever been to an Omicron and we wonder why poor .lim blushes so. The word Push conspicuously inscribed on one side of the chapel door, caught the eye of the Rev. D-i, as he passed therein to make a talk to the young law students. Push seemed to him an excellent thing for his talk. Young men, he began, there is one thing you will need throughout your career, and without which you can do nothing. That word, my young friends, is inscribed on your chapel door. ' All eyes were turned immediately towards the indicated door, but, alas, for the Reverend Mr. Dk--. The inner door bore another and less suitable word, a cause of laughter to all beho-lders, the word Pull, Miss McLaughlin in English 8. For examples of good description go to Inferno.

Oh, no, said she, a shore I'll be, Come rest our journey o'er. Then silence fell, and all was well, For the ship had hugged the shore.

On Summer Nights Do you not dream on summer nights When stars bedeck the skyg And silver moonlight steals between The leaves that rustle and sigh ? VVhen perfume from the sleeping flowers Is borne on breezes lowg And fire-flies dart among the trees With tiny, elusive glow, When over all the drowsy hum Of locusts softly swellsg And o'er you as you sit and rest Weaves subtle, magic spellsg Do you not dream on nights like this Of the things you'll some day dog Le Roi S'Amuse The merry monarch sat upon his throne. It was not his-perhaps it was a loang His own he 'd pawned at Isaac Abram's shop. fHe needed money for his royal hop.l His jester at his feet reposed in peace. And of what a grand old world ,twould be Your Majesty, this nonsense here must cease, If only your dreams came true Was heard in angry accents from his wife, .VI B., 1909 Who everywhere created household strife. Tut, tut, my dear, of all my dreams the queen, That is to say, when nightmares I have seen. You awful, heartless wretch, take back those taunts, I'll go right back to mother and my aunts. But there, I must confess I know not how In simplest manner to arrange this rowg And so, before this interesting scene, To think a while, I needs must put a screen. C. G. M., 1908 Ignorance is bliss, so l'm supremely happy. -Brafzde. The Brook It came from far within a leafy dell And down upon the mossy stones all green, The little brook went babbling in its joy. Beyond the bend 'twas prisoned by the sun, And flashed with precious diamonds all day long. At night the silver moon looked calmly down And smiled to see her face reflected there. But never once the brook stopped flowing on, But gurgled cooler, farther on its way, To pass the homes of men, great cities too, And grow in speed and strength to reach the sea.
