Like to a fleet of boats, from the harbor we are departing, Setting our snowy sails and standing out to the ocean. Broad is that ocean and wide, and safe the port is, and sheltered That we are leaving behind, but in it no more can we tarry. And as the fleet of Columbus, that sailed so courageously Westward, Laden with trinkets and beads, for gold to exchange with the natives, Hiftory of the Clafs of '99, BY EDWARD WEILAND. T WAS on a bright September morning in the year 1895 that a great event occured in the history of the Toledo High School. The sun shone pleasantly upon dewy held and shady upland, upon flower-strewn vale and snow- capped mountain, upon picturesque hamlet, nestling in peaceful repose on the bank of some tiny streamlet, and busy city, whose throbbing current of life, never quite stilled, has awakened with renewed vigor to begin another day. Bounteous Autumn has arrived and, tingeing the leaves with red and gold, had made the forests veritable fairy bowers. Thus Nature herself heralded an event Which no man noticed. For of all the fair scenes upon which the genial sun shone that morning, the most beautiful, the most soul inspiring, was that presented in our own little metro- polis by the groups ofbright-eyed, rosy-cheeked boys and girls, the uncrowned lords of creation gathered for the irst time around this Fount of Learning. But no, some one noticed it, for, as the mild-eyed father of the school stood looking out upon the happy faces and heard the peals of joyous laughter, he saw as by revelation that here was true unassuming greatness. By a law of association Qbe it of similarity or contrastj he was reminded of the halcyon days of his youth when, a bare-foot boy, he whistled on his way, to school. Certain it is that he has taken a deep interest in their welfare, an unceasing watch- fulness which rewards the conscientious and gently but iirmly reproves the erring. I-Ie it was who showed us the glimmering light of the Will-O'-the-Wisp, called knowledge, and told us the best course to take in pursuing her. A difficult chase she has led us through marsh and jungle, wood and meadow. Some- times we stumbled, sometimes we fell, but always to rise again to renew the struggle. We staggered across the arid desert called Fundamental Processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication and di- vision, from which we rushed into the limpid lake of Fac- toring, only to find that it was salt and could not allay our burning thirst. Then we plunged into labyrinthine jungles of Equations, caught the malarial fevers called Theories of Exponents and Coefficients, and slew the hooded cobra which man calls the the Binominal Theorem. In all these wanderings the guide who directed our footsteps o'er the trackless waste, and soothed our fever-drawn cheeks, was one who had compelled them all to acknowledge him their conqueror. But as we emerged from the jungle with out-stretched hands thinking to grasp the prize, there was a puff of wind and the fluttering vision which we had followed so eagerly was as far ahead as ever, while a limitless expanse of lives straight and curved, broken and mixed, now lay between. We found upon trial, however, that the sea was very shal- low and could be passed without difficulty, the seemingly insurmountable barrier furnishing a delightfully refreshing bath. Knowledge, the dainty spirit, now led us upon land of an entirely new character. There were figures of many shapes fthe triangle and rectangle predominatingj which seemed to be controlled by hidden springs, for, as we approached, they would rise with a force as vicious as it was unexpected, sometimes causing great confusion in our midst. But now the country grew rough and broken. The earth was divided by yawning crevasses into huge angular blocks. These were of very unequal sizes, some requiring East, and some among the brusque and sturdy farmers of the West. Therefore friends, comrades, classmates, of dear old '99, make the most of the fleeting moments passing so swiftly into the irrevocable Eternity of the Past. These few short years are but the beginning. May we all pros- per in the life just opening before us, may we keep ever in mind the pure hopes and aspirations of our youth, may we carry the name and fame of the class of '99 into every state of our glorious Union and into that city which is more royal than imperial Rome, more beautiful than far-famed Venice, more free than the poet's ideal Utopia, more powerful than all the world besides, Washington, the nucleus round which is gathered the strength, the resources, the opportunities, the devotion, of the greatest nation of the world.

WAS seated one evening within the comfortable depths of a large arm-chair, before a grate in which the fire burned merrily, casting its soft and glowing influence over the entire room. The silver-toned clock on the mantle had just chimed the most bewitching time of the night--the mid- night hour. All around was wrapped in sleep, and silence reigned supreme. But I, in no mood for slumber, was medi- tating over those happy days gone by-those school days passed forever, and with these thoughts, came a longing to know something of the companions of those happy days, especially of the members of the class of ninety- nine, that famous class, which no following one has ever surpassed. Suddenly, I felt a strange, subtle iniiuence stealing over my senses, and then with a noise like the distant rumbling of thunder and the roaring of many waters, there appeared before my wondering eyes a person resembling Mephisto, but with an added hideousness which rendered him still more horrible to look upon. Quietly folding his arms, he addressed me: I am the king of prophets, the foreteller of the destiny of man. Being familiar with each and every member of that famous class, I will undertake to reveal to you the fate of each, but at the outset, you are warned neither to move nor speak lest the charm be broken. Wildly waving his arms, he repeated, All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players. Immediately the room is enveloped in total darkness, then a faint blue vapor slowly begins to ascend. Anxiously I watch the rapidly developing scene, and there, true to life, is a courthouse in far away I-Iawaii. In the judge ad- dressing the vast assembly, I recognize Mabel Andrews, while by her side with a very wise expression, telling in- stantly the vocation of a lawyer, is May McMullen. The outlines gradually fade away, and in their place is a mag- nificent home on Fifth avenue. The rooms are beautifully decorated giving forth every evidence of welcome to the new occupants, Mr. Will Peiter, President of the New York Central, and his charming bride, formerly Miss Ruth Ar- buckle. Immediately replacing this scene, is a newly-discovered island in the Pacific ocean. Under a large tree surrounded by an enchanted group of natives, is a form strangely famil- iar. The opening lines of a favorite hymn are borne on the breezes. With one accord the terror stricken natives take to their heels, leaving Miss Blackmon with the impression, that hereafter she had better read the hymns instead of sing- ing them. But see, the scene changes. A street in a cosmo- politan city is presented to view. The gentle strains of music are heard, and there, headed by a brass band is a number of uniformed men and women. At nrst sight, it appears to be a regiment returning from war, but as the leader comes in view, the dimculty is solved. It is a Sal- vation Army band with its captain, Nellie Babcock. Through the fading outlines appears a pretty home,bearing a doctor's name on the door plate. An accident has happened, and the doctor being away, his wife undertakes to adjust the bandage. .Iust as the task is completed, in walks the doctor. After a careful examination, he says, My dear, you should be very proud of your Work, there can be only one criticism, you have bandaged the wrong wrist. At this point the skillful wife turns around and can it be possible? Yes, Delia Atkinson is a doctor's wife. Vividly the outlines of the English city, London, present themselves. Before the Queen stands a familiar form, with an added dignity, and Fred Lawton, the new ambassador from the United States is presented to her Majesty, the Queen. As the next scene appears, behold the Toledo High School, the same as of yore. On the nrst floor is a form parading up and down. At first, I take it for the smaller of two persons, once so familiar in my own school days, but in looking closer, I am surprised to see a striking resemba lance to Miss Maude I-Ioughton. At last a group of seniors appears, and with an eagle's eye,she perceives some one who has smiled. Swiftly pursuing,she says, in well known words, f'Report to the officef, and then follows them in that direc- tion to see that they are not lost, strayed or stolen on the way: This scene changes. The assembly room now appears. Eagerly the pupils await the appearance of their Principal, for is it not awell known fact, that there will be two speak- ers there, and at least one recitation hour occupied? Quietly the principal, Mr. C. G. Bittner, approaches and announces, We are very fortunate in having with us this morning two gentlemen recognized as leaders in educational lines, Mr. Marx and Mr. Ayers of Cornell University. We will now listen to a few words from them. After a very profitable hour, Mr. Bittner announces, 4'Miss Hillls French class will remain in this room. Miss Litscher's class will find her this morning in room thirty. Miss Ball's Senior Latin class will please to take legal cap paper to the class-room, and leave all books in this room. Mr. Mathias's class in advanced Psychology will not recite this forenoonf' I would have lingered long over these scenes, but slowly they fade away, leaving only a wretched little home boasting of but a table and chair, the former strewn with paper, ink and so forth, while a light-haired, blue-eyed young man occupies the latter. Evidently his is a literary calling. Yes, long and diligently has he worked, but so far unsuccessfully. A messenger boy enters bearing a letter for Mr. Will Worrell, from the largest publishing house in New York. Slowly he takes it, dreading to break the seal, lest it tell of one more work returned. Nervously he tears it open, and reads- ln recognition of your great literary ability, we send the enclosed check, and wish to say that for the future we will gladly accept all productions from your pen. Signed, W. Braun. Gradually the paper becomes a dim outline, then the room fades rapidly away, leaving in its place a kitchen scene with dishes galore piled up on the table, and the whole room in utter confusion. In the midst, .enveloped in a large kitchen apron, with sleeves rolled to his elbows, stands a person with the most wretched expression on his countenance, for had his wife not told him that very morning, that those dishes would stand there till doom's day before she would touch them? Slowly he sets about the dreadful task, murmuring something about new women and clubs, and the last remark of Mr. Cotter before the scene faded away, was, if a man only knew, he would steer clear of all matrimonial alliances. The next shows one of the happiest groups of girls. Upon the door-plate is inscribed Bachelor Girls' Quarters. On gazing within, the room is found to be a truly bachelor apartment, where every girl's taste is satisiied. Around a small nickle gas burner is Carrie Chambers, intently watching a boiling mass, which, from the smell, must be material for fudges, while Arabella Lipscombe, Lillian Fisher and Alice Chaffee beguile the hour with pleasant stories. In a distant corner of the room, curled up among innumerable cushions of every description, with a beautiful Angora cat sleeping peacefully by her side, is May Reed busily engaged in reading the latest novel, and on a rug before the grate are Miss Ruth Ellis and Mamie Tait, with large toasting forks in their hands, and beside them, a box of marshmallows from their bachelor friends across the way. This happy scene is all too fleeting. Then a room, beautiful in all its appointments, appears, the home of the Honorable Clarence Brown, and by his side is a face too little changed not to be easily recognized as a person once known as Bessie Cannan. In direct contrast to the last two scenes, is the next. A lady, surrounded by every luxury that wealth can afford, sits quietly thinking, now and then humming the mournful refrain, O for a man, my kingdom for a man. Long I try to place her, and at last the name flashes across my memory, Helen Ayers. The next shows only a large office door on which is engraved, Miss Tiernan, composeriof compositions in which the essential parts are the beginning and the end. By the appearance it is evident that she has succeeded, for it is a well remembered fact, that she, of all the members of that famous class, was the only one who could see the brightness of her future before her. But see, a tall church-spire begins to appear, then the outlines of a beautiful church. Carriage after carriage ap- proaches, and the first one stops, a bride alights, and I see, can it be true? Bessie Norris, the companion of my school days. Just as this fades from sight, another takes its place, showing a large white wagon with pyramid upon pyramid of bottles of every shape and size piled high, while on the white sides of the wagon is printed in flaring letters, Use Logan's Hair Tonic, Best on Earth. Following closely is a photographerts room, with two young ladies bending over a newly developed plate, suddenly one of them, of a poeti- cal turn of mind, after having viewed the plate earnestly, repeats, I photograph with joyous zeal, And then implore my filmy prize, In rosy darkness to reveal Its charming secrets to my eyes, And then, Oh, joy desired and dear, The film responds, as I irnplore- I see the pictured face appear, V And wonder, whom I meant it for? As the door closes, I read, The Misses Whittlesey, Photog- raphers. Gradually the outlines of a theatre appear, then the stage with its scenery, and the actors growing into life- like size. Hamlet is presented. PI see the Hamlet of the occasion all in black, walking slowly and reading. Then, as Polonius addresses him with, What do you read, my Lord?,' I hear the answer, Words, words, words. Surely I have heard that voice before, yes, even the face seems familiar and, as he turns to the audience, I recognize Eoline Hand. A scene of a well illed courthouse is next, and a lawyer with features so closely resembling those of Florence Keil- holtz that there can be no possibility of error, is defending a man for stealing an horse. This appears to be her first case. Three witnesses have sworn that they saw the man commit the deed, but with a scornful laugh and an air of conidence, our lawyer replies, My case is already won, you can only produce three witnesses who say they saw the deed, while I can produce three hundred who can swear they never saw the man steal that horse. The next scene brings before my astonished gaze a body of United States Senators. Anxiously I watch the faces, but there is no Well known form, none. Yes, the last one seen, is the familiar face of Walter Prentice. Another scene is brought to view, soon recognized as that of the Repre- sentatives. Fortune kindly lends her aid, and I have no difficulty in making out four former members of the class of ninety-nine. In the Chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee is Maurice Griffin, while occupying seats near by are Jay Thorp and Clarence Hade. Just then the Speaker of the House appears, and I behold Albert Payne. As the shadows of these very wise men fade from sight, the inte- rior of a dancing hall appears. I hear the sweet strains of music and see the graceful dancers just learning the May- pole dance, while in the learned instructors I see Katharine Tracy and Helen Dougherty. But, hark, the familiar strains of the Star Spangled Banner are heard, then up a long and Wide street appears a regiment. With a sun-burned but happy face, is a most commanding form, mounted on a magnificent black steed. Just as he appears there comes from the vast crowd, as with one voice, H Three cheers for General Corkery, who, with his gallant army, has forever crushed the power of hated Spain, and made her one more land annexed to our glorious United States? The interior of a lecture room is the next scene, and I have no difliculty in making out the speaker as Maggie Mc- Kinnang but what a wonderful voice, developed by stand- ing, like Demosthenes of old, beside the mighty roaring of the wavesof the ocean, and speaking above that terrible noise. Before I could gain much of her talk on Woman's Rights, the scene faded quickly away, but is soon replaced by a view of Purdue University, showing the president busily engaged in talking to his chosen life companion, soon rec- ognized'as Miss VonBeseler. The next represents a dining- room scene, with a newly married couple partaking of their first meal cooked by the dear little wife. Proudly she pas- ses the biscuits made by her own little hands. Hesitatingly he takes one, tastes it, then lays it quietly to one side. At this, his much astonished wife asks why he does not nnish it, and Mr. Will Fague replies, It does not taste just like my mother used to make, but seeing the expression on his companion's face, he quickly adds, I mean, my dear, I am not at all hungry. Then Mrs. Ruth Brockway-Fague tear- fully reproaches him, and as the scene fades away the young husband is vainly trying to soothe her wounded feelings. Quickly another scene follows. At first I see absolutely nothing but a blue sky,-but see, a faint dot appears in the deep blue, rapidly growing larger, and as it draws nearer it becomes a most magnihcently constructed air ship. Slowly it descends to the ground and out step the inventors, Mr. Weiland and Mr. Nettleman, having completed a successful journey around the world. A great auditorium is now disclosed. It is the last night of the opera. The great building is filled with thous- ands of music loving people, and the great singer steps to the foot-lights. It seems impossible to place her, but as soon as she has sung a few strains, the name comes to me in the sweet tones of her voice, and I know that it is An'- toniette Stock, become the greatest singer on the American stage. A country school-house now appears, and while the teacher is busily engaged in hearing a class in arithmetic, the other members of the school are engaged in fixing pins on the vacant seats of their reciting companions and form- ing other plans of mischief. Wondering What can be the matter, and why all this disorder, I catch the glimpse of the teacheris face, and recognize Rose Schweitzer. The diffi- culty is solved, for I remember that she always believed in ruling merely by kind and gentle words and never using harsher methods for obtaining obedience. The next is a Chinese school, where the small Chinese are taught in three different departments, French, by Miss Creiffrion, English by Miss Lewis, and cooking by Garfield Henzler, while in the Principal is recognized Marie Olds. Now appears a large dry goods store, the largest in New York, and above the door is written in large letters Corl and Schreiber Company, while on the opposite side of the street is a large banking establishment, known as the Gardiner Bank, while the president is Mr. James Chase. But what means this immense crowd appearing through the fading shadows? As the outlines become distinct, I see the familiar scenery of Columbus, now the capitol building ap- pears. The enthusiastic people anxiously await the ap- pearance of some one, who soon stands before them. Cheer after cheer goes up, as Charlotte Bissell, the new governor of Ohio is recognized. I fain would have lingered over this scene of happy faces, but no, it, like the rest fades away, and now I behold an immense building-the Duncan, Reynolds 85 Crane Milling Co., the largest in the United States. The next, shows the University of Paris. The Scien- tific Department is presented. In the leaders of this depart- ment are two faces so little changed that they are easily known as Fay Schneider and Anna Garber. Quickly fol- lowing, is a room, the very atmosphere of which breathes forth literature, and before a desk piled high with all kinds of literary productions is Miss Stocking, the foremost author of the day. The books, room, author and all fol- low the preceding scenes, leaving in their place a beautiful orange grove in California. Beneath one of the trees, quietly talking to a number of friends, is another member of the dear class of ninety-nine, known in my school days as Ida Taylor, but who now has assumed the name of the wealthiest of all Califo1'nia's citizens. An ocean scene! Plowing through the deep, blue waters, headed for Liverpool, is an immense ocean steamer. Pac- ing up and down the foredeck is a tall form not recogniz- able because of the addition of a beard, but as he speaks to the mate, I instantly know that the commander of the steamer is Urban Walters, and near by, reading pamphlets and discussing religious matters, are Lilly Feitz and Flor- ence Gates, new missionaries bound for Japan. Eagerly l watch the next scene slowly developing, which turns out to be the Toledo Post Office, but more beautiful because of several additions. Standing on the steps conversing with the Rev. Mamie Dilger, is the Post-mistress Rose Faulkner, Just then the new mayor of the city, Miss Dale, passed by, with a thoughtful expression, evidently thinking over num- erous improvements for the city. The following scene soon replaces this, showing only a large bulletin board, on which is written, Evangelist Carrie Wieland, assisted by Miss Carpenter, will address the people this evening at the armory. A large seminary in Cuba appears, and in the presi- dent's room are two very learned instructors, Miss Shet- leroe and Miss Emerson, forming plans for the education of , me - . ,Q ' ' 1, '.f'nt 5m?s1 the Cuban girls, while their assistants, Miss Grofts and Miss Buell, offer such suggestions as may seem fitting. An addition to this scene, is a group of Cuban girls grown neat and even beautiful under such surroundings. Through the dim shadows of the fast fading scene, appears a very lovely home on the banks of the Rhine. On the vine-covered porch is a form with a face as sweet and modest as in her school days, and as her husband, the physician to the Emperor, appears, a lovely smile over-spreads her features and I recognize Ida Moring. With the passing of this scene, I realize that I have witnessed the last of my dear school companions. Once more the room is enveloped in total darkness, leaving only the blue vapor slowly fading away. Once more my prophet, Mephisto, appears to me, then, with a hideous laugh, disappears from sight and with that terrible sound still ringing in my ears, I awake to con- sciousness, to find that the clock has just tolled the hour of one, and that in one short hour I have passed through many experiences, which can never be forgotten. ewes, , w w va I egjfagf - fray 'IQ'-M .p p R The Tanjora Diamond. A Tale of Myltery, involving some Incidents in the Life of the Late Mr. Sherlock Holmes. BY WILLIAM HOYT WORRELL. C H A P T E R I . Was a cold stormy night in December, rough and blustry Without, but cheery enough in the pleasant room Where I sat reading. I was the guest of Mr. Sherlock I-Iolmes, and had been for a Week previous, and as may be Well understood, I Was delighted at the opportunity of enjoying the hospitality of so noted a personage and incidentally of making a study of his remarkable talents. We had met by chance in a corner of the depot and, contrary to the custom of many great men, he recognized me, for I had been an old pupil of his in a public school Which he had taught in the earlier portion of his checkered career. Several days had passed and I Was growing quite famil- iar' with the quaint habits and conversation of this remark- able man. On the particular evening of Which I am speaking We sat back to back, each buried mentally in his book, and physically in the great embracing back and arms of his comfortable chair. My host had not spoken a Word-he never did When reading-but I had noticed a continual and ever increasing air of unrest about him which I knew would require some satisfaction, either in the excitement of a problem to be solved, or, as was more likely, in his hypo- dermic syringe. He arose abruptly, passing over to the mantle, he picked up a small jar-like bottle, removed the cork, and took out a portion of the pearly contents upon a spoon. This he carefully heated over the gas flame for a moment, and then nlled the little syringe by drawing the piston back. Rolling up his sleeve he stuck the needle-like point just under the skin, and then down Went the piston- and it was done. After this apparently simple proceeding, I noticed an immediate and decided change in the appearance and man- ner of Mr. Holmes. His eyes became bright, his color heightened, his whole personality seemed re-enforced and intensified, and he talked rapidly and brilliantly upon a variety of subjects, darting here and there but always alighting upon something fresh and novel and delivering it in his own facinating manner. Suddenly-very suddenly indeed-Mr.Holmes arose and went to the window. H That was a stupid thing for me to do,', he said, tak- ing that morphinefi I mentally agreed with him. I might have known beforej' he continued, that I would have something to do tonight and could very well do without itf' What is it, I asked, a case? Yes, a case-a casef' Then rapidly and more to him- selt than to me, he continued: Ten-thirty-Collingwood and Monroe-horses tearing like fury-Twenty-second- Twenty-hrst-Twentieth-Nineteenth-Eighteenth-Jeffer- son-Madison - after a pause - Thirteenth-Twelth- Eleventh- Tenth- Michigan-Ontario-Erie -Huron -Su- periori'-then after a long pause- Cherry-Locust-Elm -don't you hear them? I listened for a moment, No, I said. '4Hade, he called out, a visitor. The stalwart porter, who never hurried, passed along the hallway to the door. At that moment I heard a clatter of hoofs, the whoan of a driver, a sharp slam, and then a hurried step outside. The door was opened and Without being announced in rushed our nocturnal visitor. Mr. Holmes arose. Good evening, Monsieur Jardi- nier, said he, extending his long White hand, Monsieur Jardinier, Mr. Worrell. Good evening, Monsieur Jardinierj I said, I believe that it has been my pleasure to meet you beforef' Ah, yes, he replied, as he grasped my hand in a pe- culiar Way and murmered a phrase in Greek, which I repeated after him, H but pardon me if I proceed immediately to the business in hand, it is very urgent, I assure you. I ventured to Withdraw, but our visitor insisted on my remaining. Then a conversation something like the follow- ing ensued: Monsieur Jardinierj' said I-Iolmes, I already perceive in many Ways that you are the trusted friend of the Baron von Livervvorst of this city, that you are sent to night on a very important errand, that you Wish to obtain my services in securing a lost article, and that article is the famous Tanjora Diamond, Which has just been stolen from the per- son of the Baroninfi Jardinier gasped in astonishment. Exactly, exactly, but how did you know - Now, Monsieur, as the facts with which I am already acquainted are but generalities, you Would oblige me much by' giving me a full account of the case from the beginning. Well, began Jardinier, after a pause, tithe Baron Von Liverworst, as you very likely know, lived for a number of years as a private citizen of this city, bearing the name of Walter Braun. About six years ago he found himself heir to the ine estates of Livervvorst and Sauer Kraut. To be brief, he became the ovvner of the famous Tanjora Diamond Which, as you remember, Was once the pride of the Rajah of Tanjora. I-Iis majesty lost one of his slippers While out hunting tigers and the article Was found by the third Baron von Dunder and Blitzen, of the royal body guard. Upon Holmes was evidently very gloomy. He tore the bread and stabbed savagely at the steak. Worrell, said he suddenly, do you notice anything peculiar about this steak?', '4It is very tough,', said I. True, that is an innate quality of all steakg I refer to my steak, this upon my platefi I looked at it for a moment, No, said I, I see noth- ing peculiar about it. Without further comment he wrapped the steak care- fully in his napkin, dropped it into a side pocket, and then strode up to the desk. I do not know just how it happened, but he very clumsily let his purse fall into the umbrella-jar, a very unusual thing for one always so graceful and precise in all his movements. He fumbled for a moment and recov- ered it, and we ascended to the street. Apparently forget- ful of his original intention, he turned homeward, and when we were once more Within the cosy precincts of his reading room he threw off the air of reserve which he had worn of late and became quite voluble. You may know, he began in the serious style of a platform lecturer, that there is a great difference between teethg between the teeth of a man and those of a woman, between the teeth of one individual and those of another, and between the precise conditions of the same teeth at one time and another, involving different conditions. I nodded. ' Now, as to this steak, it is made of Para rubber of good quality, and it is of the regular shape and dimensions, it is in fact the same as the ordinary steaks found in every restaurant, but you will notice the difference between this and the steak you had, for instance. This is comparatively new, it has not been used more than once or twice, I should say, whereas yours was covered with the myriad indenta- tions left by previous lunchers and diners, this bears traces of only one. Do you see those marks there, and there, and there? Now, this bears upon its surface a message so plain that any one may read it, tell me what it is. I must confess that I do not see anything. Come now, you are excessively modest. But look, see how deeply these are imprinted, that proves conclusively that our previous diner was- A man, said I confidently. Wrong, a woman. These show great development of the maxillary muscles, a development rarely found in the male and only attainable by constant and vigorous exercise, our diner then was a woman. There is another considera- tion, when one is quiescent, at rest in mind and body, he bites with the front teeth, nibbles as it were, When agitated or ill at ease, one places the food well under the molars in an effort to vent his feelings in the vigorous motion thus produced. Observe the marks, they are the impressions left by the first three molars, hence we conclude With the geat- est precision that the individual in question was laboring under extreme mental excitement-extreme I say, for no ordinary mood could have produced marks such as these. So much as to the steak. Here is another matter: Ascend- ing the trellis employed by the thief in his descent on the night of the robbery, I found this bit of satin from a fan or something of that sort, upon it you will see traced, very faintly with apencil, the name CW-i-l-l G-a-r-d-i-n-e-r,' and below the initials 'R-H-B ' . I see, said I excitedly, go on! Furthermore, I found this little bauble in the umbrella jar where I purposely dropped my pocket-book, not an hour ago, and he pulled from his vest pocket and presented to my gaze a stone of dazzling brilliancy and great size, larger by far than any which I had ever seen before, even in India. The Tanjora Diamond! I gasped. The Tanjora Diamond, he echoed, and now what do you make of it? Why, said I, eager to open the nut now that he had tiara at all? Would she not have kept the pretty toy intact? Again, I examined the bruise on the forehead of the Baronin and I found not the slightest scratchy on the contrary she seemed to have been struck by a well delivered blow from the shoulder, a thing impossible for a woman, even such as Miss Brockway. My head was ia a whirl, I arose and started for the door, I turned, and then a terrible thought surged through my brain. When at this distant time of writing I reflect coolly upon the doings of that night I do not know how I dared attempt such a deed, how I dared to match my puny strength and resources against that giant mind and body, but I had started and I could not stop now. With a swift motion I drew a small revolver which I always carry. with me and leveled it straight at his great forehead rising full above those clear, wonderful eyes. U Silence ! I cried, not a word ! not a motion ! '9 . He did not move. There he sat with one arm in his lap and the other resting at full length on the table. His eyes were full upon me and watched my every movement. I glided toward him and soon had the nasty little weapon pressed against his forehead. Sir, I said in a low tone, I have an oath-I have an oath-I can not break it. Jardinier is my friendg so long as there is power within my hands, guilty or innocent, he shall not be convicted of this shocking crime. Swear to me that you will keep silent-swear to me that you will not use the proofs that you have found ! I waited a momentg he did not move or speak, but con- tinued to regard me with those fixed lustrous eyes. 'f Swear it I I repeated. I waited. Still no reply. Still I waited. A slight rustle in the corridor ! I started-ever so little-and that great arm swung around from the table with lightning speed and struck me on the side of the head with a blow that I believe would have felled an ox. In another moment I was on my back upon the iioor and he was over me with his long muscular nngers about my throat. What he intended to say I shall never know, but upon that countenance was written unspeakable sternness and terrible justice. Just then there sounded the loud clang of the door bell, and I heard footsteps in the corridor. Holmes released me in an instant, picked up the revolver, and putting it in his pocket turned to greet the visitor who entered at that moment. Good evening, Baron von Liverworstf' said he with deference, 4' you do me great honor, to what turn of affairs am I to attribute this fortunate occurrence ? Well. said the Baron, nervously, I have a sort of explanation to make, I-you need not leave, Herr Wilhelm, you are aware of the gravity of the situation and the sec- recy and caution necessary-as I said I have a confession to make which, as all other things, must of course be strictly conidential. The fact is that of late I have been rather embarassed for funds and I conceived the plan of borrowing for myself as it were or-a-in fact taking for myself, in fact I planned to get possession of the diamond without the knowledge of the Baronin. For this difficult piece of work my friend Jardinier volunteered, and indeed I may say that he did very wellg but he had a great misfor- tune before he had inishedfl At some time before leaving the city to get the dia- mond where it might be turned into funds, he lost it, that is to say it was missing from the place in the lining of his coat where he had stitched it. Have you no idea as to where it was lost? H said Holmes. f' None. And your present errand is to solicit my aid in recov- ering it ? Yes, yes? ' Well, said Holmes quietly, I think that I can sat- isfy you if that is all you want, and he drew forth the stone and heldit up to the gaze of the astonished Baron. The Baron snatched it with more eagerness than grace, and when it was safely within his grasp he exclaimed, You are indeed a genius, Mr. Holmes, how can I ever repay you? Holmes waved his hand airily. 4' Permit me, continued the Baron, to make you this small present, pray except it as a little gift. Holmes would have nothing of the sortg and after the Baron had bade us good night in the manner of a man who had lost a great load of care and gained one of satisfaction, the porter showed him out and we took our accustomed seats. ' I could not find courage to speak, so oppressed was I by the thought of what I had done but a short time before, and the injustice of it all came upon me with double force now that the cause of such action had been removed. After some time I summoned courage enough to walk over to the chair where Holmes was sitting, and in a befittingly humble manner begged his pardonf What he said I will not write here, but sufficient it is to say that the next even- ing found us in our accustomed places as if nothing had happened to disturb the quiet of the room. I The clock struck ten. Holmes walked over to the mantle, heated the morphine and filled the syringe, as I had seen him do it so often, Baring his arm he inserted the needle-like point. Down went the little piston-and I knew that Sherlock Holmes had dismissed from his mind completely the little affair of the Tanjora Diamond.

BY MISS RUTH MILMINE. l-IEN we, the naughty class of '00, read the histories ,, , of our sister classes and the glowing descriptions of their intellectual abilities, we smile and think of that well known quotation, O wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as ithers see usf' In trying to write the history of the class of 1900, re- member, dear reader, that what may seem to be only vain praise, is in reality the strangest of facts. It was in the year '97 that, as a class, we first entered the High School, or rather all that was then left of it. We knew that we would be the first class to graduate in the coming century and were determined to make the most of that honor. Our Freshman year was well spent in getting a start for the ensuing year, but when we became Sophomores, things took a diiferent turn. On Thursday evening, May 26, 1898, we gave our iirst social, which was one of the social events of the year. Not like other classes, we were more generous and extended our hospitality to .Tuniors and Freshmen alike. After listening to an excellent musical and literary program, dancing was enjoyed. Notwithstanding the warm weather, we were loth to leave until the very witching time of night. ' The iirst of September found us again taking up the burden of school life. But we had assumed a new dignity, for We were Juniors, and even the Seniors treated us with due respect. Our superiority over the lower classes was made mani- fest in a cane rush which took place in December, 1898, between the wouldbe valiant Sophs and our Naughty boys. Needless to say we Were victorious and are now looked upon With envy and admiration by the other classes. 1 On the evening of February 3, 1899, We gave our nrst Junior social. This delightful affair Was held on the irst floor of the new High School building. The halls were pro- fusely decorated with choice iiowers, and everywhere could be seen the Junior colors. After listening to a farce entitled 4' The Veneered Sav- age, we repaired to the room which had been fitted up for dancing. This place gave one the impression of a veritable fairy land with its twinkling lights and the fair forms of the Junior maidens. Never were the Naughty-Naughts in such excellent spirits. Every one present took advantage of the inspiring music afforded by Mr. Carl Hill, and it was not long before one and all were tripping the light fantastic toe. After dancing, light refreshments were served, thus ending one of the most delightful events of the year. The success of our class is due chiefly to its wise selec- tion of officers. They have worked faithfully for the wel- fare of the Class and have always had the hearty support of its members. Our highest aim is to educate ourselves to be men and women who will do honor to the coming century and of whom it will be said, They have followed well their motto, 'To be, rather than to seem'. , I T' fda , ?-Q f 32 I-,..-I , Z? gf?

After these had gone, he told us that noW, as We Were sophomores, We might organ- ize as a class if We desired. Of course We did and so he presided as temporary chairman. We Were not very Well versed in parliamentary laW but We set to Work to choose our officers and succeeded in electing Frank Mettler, presi- dentg Ethel McKisson, vice-president, Murray Pease, treas- urer and Ethel Oannan, secretary. A committee consisting of John Adams, John Taylor, Helen Mills, Violet Richie and Mary Thacher, Was also appointed to draW up a con-- stitution. That Was about all We could do, so We adjourned -thoroughly happy, for noW We Were not only sopho- mores, but also members of the class of 1901. NOW that's What I call smart. Havin' a constitution and president just like the United States. Why there Wasn't anything that there easterner told about that could compare With that. I'll bet that there Frank Mettler is the proudest boy in seventeen counties and, by What I know of girls, I'll Warrant you can't get Within a rod of them tWo that are vice-president and secretary. If my boy ever gets to be even treasurer, I alloW there ain't a man in this t0Wnship that'll Walk With a straighter head than me. When I sent him there, I thought maybe I'd only have him stay a year, but When I got that letter and after What he told me When he got home, I said to myself that I'd see him through the Whole shebang if it took every cent I had. So When the vacation Was over I sent him Waltzin' back again. His startin' in this time Wasn't anything like the other one. He knowed all the ropes and didn't make no blunders. He said the freshmen didn't have much shoW this year because they Went to school at the same time the others did and the sophomores didn't do much else but stand around and talk about them. His Erst letters didn't have much of special interest in them except that the soph- omores Was a havin' a good time and enjoyin' themselves. But along in December I received one that run as folloWs: DECEMBER 20, 1898. Some time ago the juniors put up a Hag on the school. It had been put up in the night and Was proudly floating N there one morning when I came down to school. Scarcely any one saw it then, but at noon everybody did and it was the onlyutopic of conversation. The juniors bragged about it and said they would like to see anybody take it down. fY0u see they had fastened it to the top of the pole instead of running it up the halyardsj. Well the seniors said that the sophomores ought to take it down and the sophomores thought the seniors ought to take it down. As a result, nobody took it down that day although some sophomores tried it. But that night ive sophomore boys took it down and kept it. Soon afterwards, they went down to a store and bought some cloth just like the flag and gave each sophomore a piece which he wore the next morning in the auditorium. At noon there was a iight. The juniors say they won, because they all managed to quit the battle with some black and red. If this be so, all the sophomores have to say about it is that they had better change their colors because those who wore them in the shape of a black eye and a red nose didn't look well. I thought I'd put in that letter to show you some of the capers they got into. This wasn't the only one, but it was about the worst. During all this time they'd only had one of those class meetins that he told about in the first letter and they didn't do much in it so I thought I wouldn't say nothin' about it. But 'long in February, I got a letter tellin' about a class meetin' that amounted to somethin' so I'll put it in. j FEBRUARY, 4, 1899. We had another class meeting last Wednesday. The president, Frank Mettler, presided. First the constitution was read and adopted. Then new officers were elected. The following were chosen: George Fugate, president, Ethel McKisson, vice-president, Walter Towers, treasurerg Ethel Gannan, recording secretaryg John Corkery, corres- ponding secretary and John Adams, sergeant at arms. This business took up so much time that we had to adjourn. Tomorrow is senior rhetorical day. I wish that I didn't have to go to school. This is about the worst thing that we have to take from the seniors. We looked forward to the nrst one of these days with pleasure. When it came, we were disappointed. The second time we thought that they were better than lessons. Next time they were at a par value with lessons. They have since dropped about fifty per cent. and will probably take another fall tomorrow. Well, I Was pretty glad to hear that they had adopted a constitution and was a gettin' down to business. But I didn't like the last part of the letter. It ain't the first time he's complained about them senior rhetoricals. Those seniors must be regular scallywags and I'm of a notion now to take my boy out of school before he gets to be one. Well, I kept a gettin' letters right along and the last one I got was about another class meetin' and it is a good one to end up with because I take more stock in them class meetins than any of the other tomfooleries he goes through With. MARCH 18, 1899. The class met again last Thursday. The president called the meeting to order and installed the new officers. Mr. Fugate, the new president, then took the chair, after delivering an inaugural address. He. appointed the social committee, consisting of Earle Potter, I-Ielen Mills, Joseph McCreary, Cora Konopak, John Taylor and Lulu Landgraf. The class then elected the executive committee, choosing Earl Otis, Ethel McKisson, Mary Thacher, Blanche Gold- smith and Alfred Coxe. A yell committee consisting of John Adams, Marie Walbridge and Clark I-Iusted Was also ap- pointed. The classhchose the High School colors-old gold and royal purple-for their colors and adopted the motto Vestigia nulla retrorsum QNO footsteps backwardjf' Well, I liked the tone of that letter and I like the spirit of that class. Itts a class that'll amount to somethini It ain't stuck up like the seniors nor impudent like the jun- iors nor green like the freshmen, but just right. And I'll Warrant that When it launches its one hundred and fifty members in the sea of life in 1891, they'll sail off With flyin' colors and come back presidents and senators everyone of them.

Qi- Hiftory of the Frefhman Clafs. BY FRANK MERRILL. I-IENEVER a student stops in his wild iiight for knowl- edge Q?j to gaze upon this magnificent building of ours, he cannot help a feeling of gratitude, gratitude that he owes our principal, Prof. Ballou and his Worthy assistants. The class of 1902 have plodded on through their vari- ous branches of study until now, they stand in the twilight of their freshman year. Still there are those who have been so unfortunate as to fail in a certain degree in various branches, but eX- perience is a severe school. The freshman of today has four required studies viz. English, Algebra, Physiology and Botany. He has his choice, however, of Latin, German, and French. The English has been greatly facilitated by the num- erous essays and readings from Williarn's Choice Literature and Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. Algebra is enjoyed by a fair per cent of the students. To give you some idea of our progress, we have inished simultaneous equations. Our study of Physiology was completed the last of January. . Botany is very interesting and is enlivened somewhat by numerous excursions to the different parks and woods. With the exception of the boys there is not a student in the Toledol-Iigh School who does not revel in this branch of study. The hour devoted to Latin always passes quickly. The Latin classes are making wonderful progress. They are , if now translating Caesar and strange to say, they are learn- ing to distinguish between the different ablatives. The French classes have finished one hundred and sixty-iive pages in their text book and have also read one modern play. Beside this they carry on French conversa- tion daily. The German classes carry on conversation in German daily. They have inished one hundred and thirty-six pages in their grammar. Late in the season we organized. The following ofii- cers were elected: President, Arthur Braun, Vice-presi- dent, Amy Maher, Recording secretary, Anna Bunce, Cor- responding secretary, Frank Merrill, Treasurer, Seavey Brigham, Sergeant-at-arms, Herbert Ellis. I-Iere's to the success of 'O2. A Year's Memories. BY AMY GRACE MAHER. FTER eight long years of work, we finally reached the , High School. What mighty people we were-Fresh- men! ' Still, it was not without some timidity that we came to school on the irst day of this year. We had many fears. We thought of the teachers as stern, unapproachable per- sons, whose chief delight was in assigning terrible lessons, and when we had met one or two Seniors we began to feel our insigniiicance. Really, the teachers seemed so terrible that we never thought of such a thing as whispering, and resolved that, breakfast or no breakfast, we should never be tardy. But after about two weeks of work, we found that the teachers were not unlike those we had known in our child- hood's happy days, and that the lessons were not quite so bad as we had expected. Many persons had told us that ,the upper classes would make our lives as unpleasant as possible, but we soon dis- covered that a,Senior is human, and can be -as pleasant, as unaifected and aifable as any student in the primary grade. But even after We had become acclimated, We had our Woes. How many times have We Worked ten problems ahead, in algebra, only to find, on going to recitation next day, that those ten Were to be omitted! How many times have We stayed at home evenings in order to learn the next day's lesson, only to hear, the next morning, that there would be no recitations on that day! We were constantly being spoken of as green, and innumerable adjectives, all implying that We Were feeble-minded, and lacking in spirit, were contin- ually applied to .us. But We do not now, resent having been called timid, as We realize that all this jeering made us resolve not to be Worthy of the names applied to us, but to acquire for ourselves names of which we might be proud. The Senior in laughing at aqlzllreshman, makes him a man. We joined literary societies, and learned, for the first time, to what heights true eloquence could soar. We joined the fraternities, and thus acquired the privilege of, Wearing a little gold pin, With mystic Greek characters. And lastly, in April, We Went to the High School Hop, and met, on an equal footing, the students of higher classes. i Our Woes are no more. We shall soon be Wise Sopho- mores, but although this year's school-life may have been slightly clouded at times, its sun shines but the brighter now, and We shall never think With regret of our Freshman year. gn. i .

T was with light feet and still lighter hearts that the students of the High School tripped away the merry hours at the third annual High School hop, given at the Collingwood on Friday, April 28, 1899. This is always the most important social event of the season to all the young people of the school, and it is always said that none is more enjoyable. But this year nothing was lacking which could possibly give pleasure to anyone, and the decorations and arrangements were far superior to those of last year. The fraternity boys showed their enthusiasm by kindly offering to decorate the hall, each fraternity selecting some particular spot for its booth. The Kappa Phi Alpha boys transformed one corner into a very cosy, inviting nook, where all the girl visitors re- ceived silver friendship hearts as souvenirs. The walls were draped in red and black, the fraternity colors, which made a very effective background for the football pictures hung about. Red carnations were placed on the tablesg pillows and rugs were scattered in and about the chairs and couches, while large lamps cast a pretty glow over the whole scene, making it very effective. The chaperones who did much to extend the hospitality of this booth were Mrs. Eberth, Mrs. Geddes, and Mrs. Walker. The Umpty Six booth was equally as attractive with its black and white hangings. A portion of one side of the hall had been selected by this fraterity, and much taste was displayed in the decorations. The entrance curtain was held in place by HU. 6 in lights. Divans, pillows, and rich Persian rugs were scattered about in profusion, and Athletic Association. Officers. C. C. Hade, . . President Will Fague, . . Vice-President Wallace Applegate, Secretary Will Mcliendry, .... V Treasurer N association was organized in the Spring term of '97, but it did not prove permanent, and athletics Were or- ganized on a sound basis during the fall term of '98. Since then the Association has prosperedg at present there is a membership of over half the boys of the school. The '98 football team was Well supported by the Association, and the '99 baseball team is receiving good backing. For the first time in the history of the school, a track team was or- ganized in the spring of '98, and, although no records Were broken, the school Was Well represented at the Field Day exercises held at Outing Park, on June 11, of that year. The '98 football team was the best that ever represen- ted the school, but the management Was unfortunate, in that Orchard Lake Military Academy, Detroit High School, Fostoria High School and Fremont High School cancelled dates so near to the day of the game that it Was impossible to arrange other games. There is little to say at present Writing of the '99 base- ball tearn, except that the prospects are very bright for 'a brilliant season. Nearly all of the '98 players are still at school, insuring faster Work at the beginning of the season than could otherwise be expected. '98 Football Team. OlHcers. ' Prof. Eberth, . . .

That I might shut out forever Those dread words that follow me, It can never, never, be! Winter into spring-time merges, Now no more his mournful dirges Moans the winter wind snow laden Through my shutters dismally. NOW no more, from embers curling Wreaths of smoke, in eddies whirling, Down the hollow chimney swirling Shrieks the wind in tiendish glee In my ears I fain would smother Cursed words, accursed to me-- It can never, never, be ! Smothering my foolish dreading, Nearer, nearer, comes our wedding When I hope my own to make her, Mine in sweet reality.

E an' Josiah always used to live in the kuntrie, but when our Sairey Ann got growed up to be a young lady, me an, Josh included that we wood send her to som' fashunable city skool, so's she could lern to Egger an' talk ine English, 'cuz if there's anything I jest can't tolerate, it's to hear a young lady of good parentige a makin, awk- ward an' poor sentensus. The skools in our kuntrie wuz good enough for the common run oi people, but me 'an Josiah wanted Sairey Ann to be as kulchered ez we wuz. So, ez I sed afore, I told Josiah to tend the pigs and chick- ens an' do the cookin' while me an' Sairey Ann went a huntin' an inteleckchual institooshun, wich, we'd bin told, could be found in Toledo. The bildin', a big yeller struk- cher, was considurable bigger than Ben Jones's new gro- cery, but I jest picked up all my wominly curridge, an' sez I to Sairey Ann, we won't go round to the back door, sez I, but we'll walk strate in the front. 'Bout thirty feet frum the door, I saw a little woman with a big white apern on, who almost skared me to deth. Just a little ways away frum her wuz another little woman, who wuz staring exackly into the mouth of every girl that kum along, as if she wuz lookin' for Klondike gold nuggits. 'Round her throte she had a imnience fur thing, witch reminded me of the pickchers I wunst saw of sum people thet lived near to a big stick kalled the north pole, witch it peers hez bin lost some plase, an' folks are now huntin' fer it in bulloons. But I walked strate up to the woman in the big white apern, dropt a curtsy to her, an' sez I, Pleze to show to me the person ez is the inteleckchual boss o' this institoo- shun. She looked at me ez if she thought I'd lost my wits, an' then she sez, sez she to me, Is it the janiter that you're after? Well, the indignashun riz, kleer up to my throte, but I remembered ez I wuz a lady of good breedin', so I sez, Madam, do you mean to insinooate thet I looks like a woman ez assoshiates with janiters ? If you pleeze, marm, I'm of the aleet U of sarciety. Josiah's third cuzzin is one of the New York polees torse, an' my sister married a man that hed a step-brother who driv a millionairels hosses ! ! When the little skool-marm heerd frum wot a famly I kum, she tuk on a mighty meek air, an' sez she, This way, pleeze, an' with them wurds she led me up a stairs into a little room with chairs strung all around the sides, an, thair, behind a big table, set the principle. Sez the little woman, Mr. Bloo, Qthet's the principlets namej, here is a lady ez wants to see you. The principle wuz a wery nice man, an' sez he, I am pleezed to see you, I'1l attend to you soon. Now fer the lite of me I couldn't see why I needed tendin' to, but I sot still, an' sed nothini I saw a lot of skolers standin' round the desk a handin' the principle little notes. I spose they must ha' bin perskripshuns, cuz he'd ask them if theyid bin sick, an' then he'd write somethin' on the note. I sez to Sairey Ann it wuz nice to hey' a doc- ter fer principle, becuz it saved doctor bills. In t' other side of the room set at sleek lookin' teller, With black hair, a jiggerin' an' a pokin' away at a thing thet made a noize like our noo sewin' machine. I didn't want to ask what it wuz, cuz then them men 'ud say thet women wuz kurious. I never could see thet a woman wuz over-kurious, but I know she can't keep a secret, becuz the kuriosity of her 'husband' is sure to pump it out o' her. Pritty soon, I wuz almost skeered out 0' my wits by a lot o' bells witch 'peered to be ringin' all over the bildin', an' all the skolers begin to run out o' the room, an' sez I, brethless With frite, Is the bildin' afire? Is thet a fire- bell ? Oh, ma, Where Will We go, sez Sairey Ann. But the principle explained an' sed, Thet is a class signal. Wouldn't you like to see the auditorium ? The pupils sing this mornin. My, What a big room it Wuz. I couldn't for the life of me see Where so many skolars made there hggers, cuz there wuz only 'bout one skware foot of black-board. ' The chil- dern's classes wuz jest comin' up, an' I noticed thet they 'peered sort oi awe-struck until they got past the first three rovvs of seets, in Witch sot the hnest lookin' young ladies an' men ez I ever did see. Sech intelleckchual faces ! Sech pritty girls ! In the stage stood a little fat man With glasses, holdin' a singin'.book, an, sez he, After the tone, comes a tack. Well, sez I to Sairey Ann, I've heered a good deel in my days, but I never heered about singini with tacks. Its som' city fad, ma, sez Sairey Ann. After the singin' the principle sez, I suppose you Would like to hear some of our recitashunsf' Oh, with plezherr,'7 sez I, as digniidedly ez only a Woman kin be. I spose thet spellin' comes nrst in your skool. Me an' Josiah learned spellin'-. You are mistaken, sez Mr. Bloo, We have kemistrie first, an' With them Wurds he leeds us into a room Where a lot 0' boys and girls wuz stirrin' up stuff in little dishus an, cookin' it on a fire, and a man With glasses Way on the end of his nose wuz teechin, em how to cook. I couldnit tell by the smell of the stuff what on earth they waz cookin' but the principle kalled it kemistrie, an, the man With the glasses sed it Wuz COZI-I3M,. Some more city fads, I spose, but I told Mr. Bloo that I perfur teechin' Sairey Ann cookin' myself. I spozef' sez he to me, 'fthet you are interested in the subjeck of fizio1ogy. O, course it would ha' been the hite 0' stoopiditie to konfess my ignerence, but I included thet it Wuzn't danger- ous, an' before I knew it we had got into the room, where the teecher fa dark man with glassesj wuz jest a sayin Now stoodense, this here mornin' our lesson treets of high jeene an' food, an' how to cook it. Of course Very fresh meat is not hellthy, but I know a woman who cooks clams alive. Well, sez I, that's nacheral! You wouldn't expect a woman to cook clams arter she's ded, wood ye? How stewpid ! Mr. Bloo then tuk us to another room where there wuz a little brown-eyed, black-headed forrener with glasses on, settin' at a table. He wuz jabberin' the most hethenish soundin' stuff at the skolers, with a woice thet sounded like thunder. Wunst in a while a skoler would get up an' resite somethin' about Jenny say pa? I wuz in hopes thet they'd say, H Jenny say ma, or brother, or sister, occa- shunally, but they didn't do it. Then the little forrener wood say, I never saw sech a people! Does 'hev' an' 'had' mean the same thing to you? You hey no idee of resipro'kal Verbs. But I told Mr. Bloo thet I wanted to go, and so we went. But jest as we got to the top uv the stairs, I herd a voice comin' from a room in the corner. It wuz a woman's voice an' she seemed to be resitin' a peace. Sez she, Oh, class! if there wuz anything in Heaven or on earth thet I thought I hed made kleer to you, it was this thing about Alexander Hamilton an' his Funding an' Assump- shun AX. But here you fale by the duzzin. What shall I do? Shall I get a mallett or a sledge hammer an' pound it into you ? Poor woman, sez I to Mr. Bloo, I do pity her. I told the principle thet I hed to go, an' oh how glad I wuz to git out o' that intelleckchual institooshun! Me an' Josiah included that we'd send Sairey Ann to sum skool where they teeched desent things, where they hed a woman to teech cookin', where Sairey Ann could lern English, an' not that forren Jenny say pa, an' where they sing with their voices an' not with tacks.

HERE were days when their ears refused to communi- cate aught but the ceaseless hum of the wires overhead to their throbbing brains, when the interminable glint ot the steel rails was multiplied and duplicated by their seared and aching eyesg when the clank of bar and shovel seemed the riveting of torturing manacles about their wearied limbs, when the resin of the cracked and splintered poles, -silent, suffering sentinels over that infernal waste of livid, undulating brown,-started in sticky, boiling streams from yawning seams, tie by tie, laid by bending, toiling bodies Whose minds and souls Were in a sodden stupor, rail by rail, the great iron road crept at a taunting, maddening pace toward completion, toward Singhpa,-one hundred and twenty miles more of incarnate drouth and desolation, still, it moved on, leaving here and there along the way a dusty, unmarked grave,-the men courted this last relief from that nightmare. They finished their evening lunch under the shed of loosely-nailed, gleaming, yellow-pine boards,-wan, emaci- ated faces, eyes whose lustre had long ago iied away as the sun rolled back mile after mile of waving heat from blis- tered, warping rails, eyes in which there was no hope or future,-only the blind devotion of Irish gangmen upon whom depended the honor of Fraser, G. E., and the fulfill- ment of the hopes of the company, which held him to his bond. Silently they passed that meal,--a meal of biscuits so dried by the sun of those three weeks since last the supply train had rolled into that God-forsaken land, that the cases were as light as air, as destitute of nourishment as the little grove of scrub, dying away where the level of the desert was broken by a ragged scar of clay and sand, biscuit only rivaled by the tinned meats and fruit, ready to burst their cerements with expanding heat. But the gang was used to such-the gang worked dog- gedly ahead, a machine running on poor fuel as well as on good. Fraser, G. E. Was the life of that little settlement of toilersg he shared their fearful labors,-his hands were as hard and calloused as big Doolan's, or the wiry, witty little Franey'sg he shared their food,-his cheeks were as blood- less as the thinnest and were furrowed by the care and unremitting worry attendant upon his office, poor fellow, his maiden enterprise was not a task for his few years of engineering. Fraser's right-hand man,-when he had been on his pins, as Franey said, he was both hands almost,-was a little, nervous Scotsman, McLeod, a mere boy, but a genius in calling out the energies of a despairing gang, and always, with a cheery word and helping hand, brightening the hardest dayg he had left Edinburgh just fourteen months before to follow his tutor, friend and idol into that weary, unending slavery upon the three hundred mile extension of the great Indian Peninsular Railway, Incorporated 1888g he had bravely said farewell to a Hbonnie, sousie lassie, who waited for him yet over the seas, and here he lay, among these rude but warm-hearted gangmen, prostrated at last by those weeks of burning sand and fever-heated air, tenderly watched and cared for by the sympathetic boys. The hazy glare in the western sky grew thicker, soft- ened, and as a ghost of a breeze,-a scorching breeze,- began to stalk slowly over the parched waste, the last crimson ribands tinged the grey cloud-banks with a hue that boded another evil morrow to the patient little band in the center of the Indian desert. Gettin' his domid fangs ready for t'morrow,W senten- tiously muttered Doolan from behind his reeking pipe- tobacco was a wonderful tonic for those sleepless, spirit- killing nights. Shh! The men tip-toed up to look at the tossing rag of humanity whose fevered moan was echoed feebly by the crouching figure of a dog, lying at his feet. A lump rose in the throat of every man, little Franey turned away and made a pitiable attempt to conceal the tear that trickled down his cheek. The poor dawg ll have to go soon, whispered one, poor little Trip. The moan broke out again-the tossing figure rose upon one shaking arm, and, with beseeching eye, McLeod began a heart-rending appeal for his little collie, he told them with quivering lip how the dog had been the only tie which held him in touch with the native heaths of the home-land, he interspersed his tearful remonstrance with rambling monologue and relapsed into the sweet, old tongue that he had used as a wee bairny' in the white cot on his iather's patch of ground. Na', na', men, ye would na' tak my wee collie awa' from me, would ye noo? Maybe tonicht Pm goin' awa' from ye,-maybe Fm goin' hame,-an' I'll tak him off wi' me, ye knaw,-I'm goin' back timy Ed'nbro' an' my ain lass-Tam, promise me, Tam, dear old Tam,'7 and he clasped the whim- pering collie in his arms and buried his head on his pillow. The men turned away with moistened eyes as Fraser gently soothed the sobbing boy, and stole away as he dropped asleep, murmuring incoherently of his far-off home. Just as they dropped into troubled rest they heard his broken voice again, repeating the poems of his native bard, Bonnie Doon, sae sweet and gloarnin, Fare thee weel before I gang! it That night, While the quiet camp in the Waste of sand Was Wrapped for a few hours in a iitful, troubled sleep, McLeod started on his homeward journey. We found him, early in the morning, lying at the foot of one of those tall, grim sentinelsg his hand caressed the faithful comrade at his side, his face, turned toward the home far over the sea, Was Wreathed in such a smile as only comes When the tired heart finds the Eternal Rest, We left him Where the Great Peninsular Railroad had claimed him as a sacrifice,-one of many,-and the glinting Wires over- head Were singing his requiem.

CDedicated to Miss Ritchie and her valuable ru1esJ'J BY W. H. W., ,99. WAS reflecting the other night, as is the habit of old men for Whom much is behind and little in the future save the enjoyment of the past-I Was reiiecting upon sun- dry things of which I had not thought for years, and which ,J 'S X SITTING DREAMING.,' were so deeply buried by the accumulated memories of suc- ceeding events that I Was startled at the vividness With which they arose before me. I Was sunk in the billowy embrace of my favorite arm-chair, I had no light but the glowing coals in the grate, for light is crude, and disturbs the imagination, and dims the memory pictures, my hookah With its fragrant breath Was inviting repose, and all Was peace Without and all Within. Then- Ecce deus ramum Lethaeo rore madentem Vique soporatum Stygia super utraque quassat Tempora cunctantique natantia lumina solvitf' Ah, the solitary happiness of such a time, with no sight nor sound of man to break in upon one's meditations, nor frighten his spirit friends away-for they are easily fright- ened, these spirit friends. Hmm-Ballon-must be quite an old man by this time -and Brown-how old that fellow is getting to look-Why, he's as gray as-as gray as-as I am-Wonder if he remem- bers hovv he used to tumble around in Greek. Hm-m-Vance-havenit heard from the old boy since he left for Athens-six-eight-ten years ago-Miss Ritchie used to-I Wonder if she still advocates those Rules of Rhetoric -never remembered them five minutesmabsurd- as if a literary style were ever built on such a foundation- Hamlet, for instance, or Paradise Lost. Mm-m-Shakespeare-I can imagine him conning rules-absurd-extremely absurd-ah! good evening, who- ever you are-come a little closer, the light is very dim, and be sides you are so thin that I can look right through you and see the book-case yonder-ah, Mr. Shakespeare of England, I believe. You doubtless are acquainted With my name, perhaps Bacon may have mentioned me to you. Bacon was here last evening along With Elizabeth and Ra- leigh-and I-Iomer-you have met Homer, of course-no?- you have had a chance to make some acquaintances in four hundred years. But to What happy cause am I to attribute this extraordinary honor? My lord, methought I heard you say but a moment gone that rules of rhetoric were of no use, and more, that I have ' never used them, I could not then forbear but that I should speak to you against the matter, for hark you, 'twere not for my little note-book Wherein are kept the ' pro- perties of style,' I never had Written the like of I-Iamletf' an in ,, 1, il N if Q 'fri-IE SHADE OF SHAKESPEARE. Then, my dear Shakespeare, you mean to say that I-Iamlet's Soliloquy and Antony's Oration Were Written by rule? Marry, my lord, that Was the manner of it. For oft have I paused when I Would Write a Word that I might counsel with my note-book copied full of the Wise sayings of myipreceptress, Dame Ritchie, a Wonderful Woman! She- Who! Miss Ritchie? H The same. f'Miss Ritchie your teacher! It cannot be the same! Why she Was my teacher some forty years ago. I'is strange, Very strange. She was Wise? Yes. She was forcible, in mindw- Yes. -and in body. Yes She was diiiicult of deception. Exceedingly so. It can be no other! It can not be the same! H 'Tis strange, exceeding strange. But continue, you were saying, I believe, that- Yes, my lord, I Would consult my book. and having found the rule, Would say to myself, 'William, Write not 'there's the trouble,' but 'there's the rub,' for hath not thy preceptress told thee to 'use the strong homely idioms of the language? And again have I Written 'bodkin' at the end of the line as being the most important Word in the sentence, for hath not thy preceptress said, 'give important Words important positions '? But see here, William, a poet like yourself does not confine himself to grammars and rhetorics and note-books, he soars above such paltry thingsg he sings because he must, because his soul is on tire, because he is inspired. When he gets started on a thing like that Soliloquy, nothing can stop himg he does not think of Words or expressionsg they fly to his lips and run off the point of his pen. Come now, my lord, you are Wrong, all Wrong. Of grammars and rhetorics in truth I had none, nothing save only the priceless note-book Which my preceptress- Yes, I know about the preceptressg go on. -and as to my singing, I don't remember of singing but once in my life, and I never did it again. It Was With the Romeo and Juliet company-Blackfriars, iirst perform- ance. We had to 'double up ', as you say nowdays, and I was stage manager, carpenter, conductor-J' Come, William, you are jestingf' -scene-shifter, property-master, box-agent, prompter and Romeo, but my chief work was as Romeo. We had a specialty to introduce that eveningg I was to sing 4Ange- lina', and I was sure of making a hit. I sang it-part of it -and it was a hit, but the audience made itg it was a tomato- I am surprised, Mr. Shakespeare, that you should con- tinue in such a garrulous vein. It is quite out of harmony With the dignity of your position. And as to my stopping When once started on a thing like that soliloquy, why, I was stopped nity times. First the janitor banged at the door and told me that it was time for Christmas tips, then a coal collector tried to get in the window by way of the fire-escape. After I had shot him, a municipal oificer came running down the hall with a sta- tioner at his heels. The villain took my pen and ink away, which, by the way, were originally his, having been bor- rowed by me indeinitelyg this compelled me to hnish writing on my cuffs with green ink, the whole occurrence was quite disconcerting and then- I see you are growing facetiousf' -and then came the autograph-hunters in such num- bers that my ammunition gave out and- Are you aware that you are digressing from the subject in hand? Perhaps Well, to return: I believe I was speaking of my note-book given to me by my dear preceptress- H Pardon me, but you would relieve me immensely by not referring to the note-book again-and the dear preceptress. Be it so, my lordg but I do assure you that I never Wrote without my note-book-no--no-I mean without the rules of rhetoric in mind. I have made my climaxes and antitheses by ruleg I have used 'short, melodious Words'g I have used 'words in which vowels and consonants are . F- -. blended'g and 'polysyllables accented near the 'F end'g all in fact- -, .gli O nonsense!

E. D. Whence. IS Q ' that sighs are waited F the gardens of the gods, Where grow the reddest roses In the land beyond the clouds, Their perfumes downward tending Are borne on seraph's wing And bear to lips of lovers The gifts the gods would sing. y EA eart, without you even life I Is rk, the day Most drearg since so Much of itself, its light, no longer linger near The spring, the birds, the trees, the flowers, The sun's warm beams? All these await but you, Dear Heart, you and And i - the dreams. Pourgnoi? UST cause 1 Tha s all there is to say, And things will ever take this turn When there's no other way. N a ng west wind a seed was borne In quiet bower, And there in the strange cold soil it lay Bereft by its truant lover. The sun-god radiant in wreaths of light, Shed beauty and warmth on the seed, When lo ! from the soil sprang a violet fair, The shy, blue-eyed maid of the mead. The Blind Man's Bluff. LD HOMER sat in his rickety chair, And the Wind played tag with his unkempt hair, He pulled his clutors 'round his beggarly form If, perchance, with the holes he might keep himself warm, And he sang the Immortal Song. A The rain trickled down from his Grecian noseg His sandals leaked and cold were his toesg His gaping tunic his shins exposed. Now who would have seen him and ever supposed Him the Bard of the Immortal Song? Old Homer groaned, and he softly swore, And he rattled his little tin cup some more, And he sighed as he thought of a warm grate tire. He tuned the strings of his ancient lyre With accompaniment vile and a Voice that was dire He wailed, I am blind, but the man was a liar, And he sang his Immortal Song. Now, a spinster came by with a shopping bag, And he looked through his goggles and saw the hag. She slipped him a copper and turned to go. May the gods, said he, 'fon thee their blessings bestow, Fair youthful maid! U and she said, Good lan' How'd you know I am young, you poor old man, When you're blind ? Then he winked as he thought of a bluff: HI felt your sweet presence, and that was enough As I sang my Immortal Song. Said the maid, My good man, what you say is quite true You are worthy of help-here's a drachma for you. Now pray, while I stand here and wait for the car, Sing the typical tune of Zanzibar, Or whatever it is that you sing so well. So he opened his mouth with an awful yell And began his Immortal Song. Now, the crowd got thin, and the hour late, And his legs got cramped as alone he sate And sang his Immortal Song. So he shouldered the lyre and the rickety chair, And he called the dog with the curly hair. He groaned as he lifted his money box And exclaimed, By Zeus, here's a load for an ox! A pretty big lift for a man that is old. Now, confound them, why don't they pay me in gold For my grand, Immortal Song? Then he slopped along through the drizzling rain Till he came to his humble hut again. He wondered, as he lay alone, From whence his morning meal would comeg And he thought, Though my song shall immortal be, It can live on air-not so with me- I'm not an immortal song. WK Platonic Friendship vs. Love. BY ISABELLE WHEELER, ,00. S Miss Wilson at home, Kate? No ma'am, she has just gone to a neighbor's, but I think she will be back soon. Won't you come in and wait for her? replied Miss WilcoX's maid. Yes, I think I will. Come, Beatrice, Margaret won't be long. We'll go up into the study. The speaker, Amy Rodgers, entered the house as if she was quite at home. She was apretty girl, a decided blonde. She and her friend Beatrice Lawton had just returned from doing some errands, and as the day was exceptionally warm, they had stopped at their friend's house to rest. How Margaret Wilson can ever sit in this pretty room and write such dry things on Woman's Suffrage is more than I can see, said Amy as she sat down at Margaret's desk. She has everything she wants, even a pretty face. Why doesn't she stop this nonsense and marry Eugene Baldwin? Don't worry, Amy, she will before long. I think they're engaged now, replied her friend. You know platonic friendship is such a farce. It always turns into love. Not always girls, Eugene and I are going to be the exception. Amy and Beatrice looked at each other in astonish- ment. They were glad, however, that Margaret came in before they had said any more. H Well, said Margaret, as she took off her hat and sat down, ready for a chat, I am Writing an article now for the Sun which you must read. I am sure it will convince you that I am right in this question. I have studied it so long-she was only twenty-four-and learned so much about it. Eugene is such a help to me,-Now, girls, stop looking at each other in such a significant Way. I am not in love With him, nor does he love me. Weire very good friends, that's all. I-Ie says that I am as good as a man to talk to because I can talk on so many subjects. And he isn't afraid to speak his opinion. Why I Wouldn't change such friendship for the World. Isn't it strange he is here most of the time? Youill marry him yet, Margaret, just see if you don't.U Marry? Nonsense! I never intend to marry any man. I haven't time. My Work is to free Women from slavery. Slavery is just What it is. When I think of the Way in Which- '-' Wait a minute, my dear. Remember you are not on the platform. It's too hot a day, and besides, your face gets so red, you aren't nearly so pretty. NOW, Amy, that's just like you. But I'll make you think of other things beside pretty faces and clothes. Don't Worry about me, dear. I can cook and sew now, better than you can. But when the thermometer is up to ninety in the shade, I believe in being comfortable. You see I'm not such a slave as you try to make out. Besides, I think it,s your duty to make some good man happy and not try to free Women when Women are contented and vvouldn't be free for the World. I suppose you even Want to reform their clothes. For my own part, I think my lavvn gown is a great deal prettier than your tailor suit and much more comfortable. No, thank you, I prefer frills to neckties.- But, really Beatrice, We must go. We're going out to lunch. Well, Beatrice, said Margaret, I hope I haveu't bored you so, you'll never come again. It is needless to ask you with whom you agree for I know you like the men. Don't look guilty, dear, it's all right for you, but I must do my work unhindered. Come again soon, girls, and don't wait for me. I'll come whenever I can. t A few moments later the two girls were going up the street to their respective homes. Why can't those girls see there is more in life than tea-parties? I don't see why I used to like Amy so well. She doesn't appeal to me now the way she once did. She is pretty and stylish and knows it. I expect her wedding invitations any day. Beatrice is a dear little thing but needs some one to lean on. Well I am glad I am different. If I were in love with Eugene, my heart would beat faster when I hear him coming and I should try to look my pret- tiest. I don't believe I have a heart. It's a good thing for womankind I haven't. But I must go back to my work. Summer passed and Margaret was now busy writing a book on her pet subject. Eugene came as much as for- merly. Was their friendship as firm as before? To all ap- pearances, it was. But why did Margaret look at his pic- ture on her dressing-table the last thing at night and the first thing in the morning? And whyhdid Eugene have to look at his watch so often and incidentally at a picture op- posite the face? Can you explain these symptoms, gentle reader, or are you entirely ignorant on such subjects? One gloomy afternoon in November, Margaret returned from the post-oflice after mailing her precious manuscript to the publisher. It was just at dusk and the coal fire looked very pleasant to Margaret's eyes as she entered her study. Kate had told her that Mr. Baldwin had called and had seemed vexed because she wasn't home. But he said he would come back soon, and if he shouldn't come this even- ing, he left a note on your desk for you, continued the maid. Margaret snatched the note and sat down by the fire-light to decipher it. This is what she read: DEAR MARGARET.-Like most people, I have come to the conclusion that friendship is not enough. Even you think that, donlt you. Here her heart beat so fast she had to stop reading for a moment. Then he does love me, she thought, I was afraid he didn't. - I have not both- ered you very much lately, because I knew you were so busy with your book. Otherwise I should have told you this before now. I hope you won't censure me too severely for marrying. Daisy is a lovely girl and I couldn't help falling in love- Her hand dropped and she sank back in her chair. What was the matter with her? Shouldn't she be glad that her friend had found happiness? Not now, but she would try to rejoice with him. Oh, Why did every- thing look so dreary? Didn't she want to live anymore? Yes, she must. Her work is to free women. Oh, what a farce that was, but life is a tragedy compared to it. Hark! a footstep! It is he! Oh, she can't see him now. She can't say she's happy. The person has stopped in front of her door and knocks. Before she can answer, Kate enters with the lamp. f- Q LM : -,xml F2 4? A 4 -,..,...-gh X Baby. BY GEOR FUGATE. OFESSOR GOODWILLY was completely Wrapped up in the study of antiquities. But his soul contained too much of the milk of human kindness to refuse to receive his niece as his Ward. . An uncle, living in Pai-is,had left the professor guardian of Baby So it is that We find Mr. Goodvvilly, Who had not the least acquaintance With babies, sitting before his book-case endeavoring to read up on this subject. Taking a dictionary, the antiquarian found that a baby is an infant or young child of either sex. Humph, I knew that already, said he. Then the book Was closed With a snap, and Gray's phys- iology taken out to see if it gave any information on the all-engrossing subject. Babies must be kept Warm, so it said. The professor rang the bell, which summoned Mrs. Mothring, his housekeeper. He asked her to have three bolts of flannel sent up. Mrs. Mothring departed With a look of amazement on her rotund face. The learned man sat down and picked up a magazine. I-le chanced upon an advertisement for a baby food, and thought of ordering several bottles. But before he deter- mined upon this he saw another which swore by all the gods of the universe that it was the best and only reliable infant food in the market. What was the poor man to do? The next moment he saw still another recitation of the virtues of a certain brand. Under these circumstances there was but one thing for the professor to do. Again calling Mrs. Mothring, he asked her to order a couple of r .i..a.T 52' , p bottles of each brand, ex- Z Z plaining to her that he , iifg p had been left guardian of fs . l i Oh! how nice she ex- ,I if.: -' 1 7 f ' f l claimed. ffriow I Shan 'ffl I ' -. 1 1 likghfhg asa? lgttie Jliolti' w '-.lvixpi , e epar e , u re urn- 'ii ed in a few minutes, bring- ly ii , ing in Mr. Troth, a mining l 3 pi engineer, an old school .

' this necessary piece of fur- ' W ' . N niture. W- THE PROFESSOR. Give me three hundred sixty-six, please. - Yes, three, six, six.-Hello, who is this?-Yes, Will 'you please send a cradle up?-Why, I don't know What kind. Mrs. Mothring, did you say she Would be a doll? Mrs. Mothring, being busily engaged talking with Mr. Troth, said Yes, of course. Yes, said the professor, I'd like a doll's cradle.- All right, good bye. H Now, he said to Mr. Troth, we can have a nice quiet talk. But the fates decided otherwise, for a servant bringing in a card was closely followed by a pompous, bustling little man, who began breathlessly- Good afternoon, Mr. Goodwilly, its a very pleasant day out. Gentlemen, continued Mr. Small, for this was his name, according to the card, have you thought of the issue at stake in the present election? Have you thought how like a huge wave we are, either triumphant, bearing the ship of state on our back, like a boy on a camel, and laughing in our sleeves at the other party, who snarl at our heels like an angry dogg or else letting the ship of state fall out of our arms into-into-. Gentlemen, you must see the force of my remarks? But, said Mr. Goodwilly, endeavoring to interposeg but he was to be disappointed, for Hercules A. Small's pause was but to gain breath, and now he was off again. We must, I say, purify the politics of the country. It is only by the utmost efforts of all that this can be doneff Bboth of you know this, said Small, paying no attention to repeated interruptions, so I shall say no more of how we must push the ship of state along just as if we were ahorse, bearing in the wagon behind, a precious burden. Gentlemen, he continued, drawing himself up to his full height of five feet eight inches, I am he of whom you must have heard much recently. I am the Moses who will cleanse the Augean stables and scrub and clean the government till it shines like a tea set. Gentlemen, I am Hercules Atlas Small. I am a candidate for alderman in this Ward. If I am elected, I will make our city the lamp of the surrounding country and cover it with goodness as I shall my own pocket with-. Gentlemen, he continued hurriedly, it is upon these grounds that I demand the support of all good and true citizensfl Yes, yes, we are yours to command, replied the pro- fessor. - We are, indeed, echoed Mr. Troth. ff I thank you both, good day, and the politician left. The professor and Mr. Troth both settled back in their chairs completely exhausted. At last Troth mustered up courage to say, He's going to cover the lamp of the country with goodness. Say, Prof., old man, is goodness transparent or opaque? Heaven only knows. I'm sure I don't, replied the antiquarian, wearily. They sat in silence for a few minutes and were begin- ning to recover from their recent harrowing experience when the bell rang, and the professor went to the door himself. Outside was a man with a large bundle. This proved to be the flannel which was taken up stairs. Mr. Goodwilly opened the parcel and commenced to unroll the cloth. Soon there was but little of the professor left in sight except his head and shoulders and, what with cloth and paper and professor the corner was well hlled. And then before he was completely enveloped the bell rang again and Mrs. Mothring brought up a ridiculously small cradle. She was quite indignant at the professor's ordering a doll's cradle for a baby. But he meekly asserted that it could be used for Baby's dolls. We must get some toys for her, too, he continued. I suppose there will have to be dolls and houses, and horses and rattles and everything imaginable, he con- cluded with a sigh. Oh, professor, Mrs. J onthrey who lives next door Will be glad to bring in lots of toys. llll ask her to come in after a While, and Mrs. Ertsberger, too, the housekeeper said, and Without Waiting for a reply Qfor she Was ruler of the housej she left the room. Dear me, it is nearly time for that child to come,', ejaculated the professor, pacing nervously up and down the room. The two talked now about old times and about their professions, but Baby permeated the Whole conversation. She was discussed together With the time they had played hookey. She was there, When they had built their club house in a tree. She Was mentioned in the same breath With Egyptian mummies. She held the lever When Troth ran his first engine. She studied the plans of the latest triple expansion engine. In short she Was first, last and throughout. By Jove, said Troth, your niece is due in ten minutes. Mrs. Mothring ushered in the two neighbors. Mrs. Jonthrey was a bustling little Woman and came in with her arms full of toys of all imaginable shapes and sizes, Whose nature and use the professor of antiquities could only surmise. The other, Mrs. Ertsberger, Was of the very opposite nature. She was thin and sour, and of the pessimistic order. She had brought as an offering to the professor's Ward what Was typical of her nature, a bottle of pepper- mint. After hurried greetings ffor it Was already time for Baby's arrivalj each stationed himself according to his lik- ing. It seemed that all had been imbued with the profes- sor's agitation and all unconsciously did the most absurd things imaginable. The housekeeper chose the flannel as her especial care. She stood completely enveloped therein. There Were even in her own mind, rather hazy thoughts as to what she meant to do with it. I L- -E .K 1 5,18-. ,, .X 1 N .1-ff ,' 'V xx t .4 15, E? t ,iff ' A fi-'it d Mrs. J onthrey .X 7.4 had all her toys arranged on the table around her, for she Well knew that babies are apt to cry at inopportune moments and need amusement. She held in one hand a Wooly horse that neighed for shriekedj when one pulled its head down. In the other she had two dolls and a jumping jack, the string by which to work the latter being held in her mouth. Mr. Troth was assisting her and held an engine and several cars in one hand while the other grasped a tin- soldier and a whistle rested between his teeth. The professor was going nervously from Gfragfs Physi- ology and Ghcmeemsonk Hygiene to the window. All Was ready. Mrs. Mothring with her flannel, Mrs. Jonthrey with her dolls and horse and jumping jack, Mrs. Ertsberger with her pepperment, of which she carefully held a spoonful in one hand, ready for adminis- tering. 'Mr. Troth was ready with his train and horse and whistle. ' And the professor was certainly ready and indeed had been for the last ten minutes. But why did not the object of all these preparation appear? The strain was visibly telling on the professor and everyone was agitated except the clock which seemed to go slower and slower. At last, however, the bell rang. The antiquarian fairly danced around the floor and he trembled like an aspen leaf. . The door opened and in walked a tailor-made young woman of twenty or thereabouts. In his excited state of mind the professor broke out with, Where is she ? Troth, however, was too busy admiring this vision of loveliness to even wonder where she was. Pardon me,', but I don't understand what you mean. You, I presume, are Mr. Goodwilly, replied this bit of feminine beauty. H I mean 'Babyf of course, returned the professor, deigning no reply to her question. Sir, she replied, slowly and with dignity, I am Miss Ethelyn Goodwilly. I am sometimes called 'Baby ' but only by my most intimate friends. I presume that you are Mr. Goodwilly, my guardian. ' Mrs. Mothring fell in a heap on the flannel. The pep- perment was dropped and trickled harmlessly over the car- pet. The dolls rode on the hobby horse Qon the floorj While the jumping-jack performed for their amusement. The professor recovered himself nrst, and he voiced the senthments of alL as he sahL YVelL I think I prefer Miss Ethelyn Goodwilly to a Baby. .y.. lu- MD, li A S5 ' GRADUATES. Equestrian.

HE Inoonbearns sifting softly down Through the leafy boughs of the old oak trees Picture each twig and Waving leaf On the ground in a mellow frieze. The river is rippling just below, Murmuring peacefully in the night, Stealing between its grassy banks, Like a slender ribbon of white. Our little tent in the clearing stands, Flanked by the wood on either sideg Our light canoes lie on the shore, Half afloat on the iiowing tide. The flickering light of the soft camp Ere Throws a iitful glare on the scene aroundg Breaking the wierd, fantastic shades Of the trees upon the ground. At length my comrade slowly speaks, Breaking the spell to my sorrow, My week is up to-night, Old Chap, And you must wash dishes to-morrow. A Confession. M. CLARKE BATTELLE, '99. HE evening was falling, Sol sank in the West. All nature was calling The gray World to rest. oszrrnrffj We Walked in the gloaming, The moon in the skyg Alone We Were roaming, This maiden and I. The clouds hid the bright moon, I bent and kissed her. HOW did you guess so soon She was my sister? A Frefhman Idyl. h, a Winsome youth is the Freshman young! But his ways, they are passing strangeg From the earliest times have his deeds been sung Yet his type doth never change. Frank is his brow and modest his mien, And limpid and clear is his eye, But for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain Just give me the Freshman shy. In learning's fair halls he often appears Just after the tardy bell ringsg l Then as to the reason stern questions he hears, And this is the strain that he sings: The power gave out, or My mother was sick, f' My toothache was bad before eighty' H Our clock was too slow, Our cook isn't quickf' Being tardy is something I hate. I went for the doctor the baby to curef' I had to go back for a dime, 4' I really can't give any reason I'm sure, I thought I had plenty of time. With stern knitted brow he pores o'er his book, As he sits in study room B3 The gratified teacher steals up for a look At the problems in X, Y and Z. But oh, disappointment! his fond hopes soon die, For alas! something else does he findg A fearless young hero, with bold flashing eye, Of the Oliver Optic kind. This student sometimes rests his head on his arm And languidly closes his eyesg The teacher then goes to him, fearful of harm, What! morning already? he cries. When festive occasions, the Kirmess or ball, Entice this young man from his book, He'll say, I've not studied my lesson at all, And then with a sly, knowing look, Let's ask the teacher some questions, he'll add, f' I can not recite well to-day, What makes the grass green ? or the March hare mad ? The hour will soon pass away. In class room he's always expressing surprise, To think that the teacher's so slowg Why, a factor's a term! Why, a simile implies Comparison between things, you know! And often to questions no heed will he pay, For the Freshman is absent of mind, Why, I don't quite see what you mean, he will say, To repeat would truly be kind. Yes, for ways that are dark and tricks that are cool .Inst give me the Freshman shy, But really without him we couldn't keep school, I'll tell you the reason why. In spite of his capers, which seem full of art, His nature is loyal and true, IrIe's sunny of temper, and generous of heart, In friendship he's always true blue. Then here's to the health of the Freshman boy, The lad with the clear, honest eye! May misfortune never his pleasure alloy, May the sorrows of life pass him by! The Oratorical Contest. OUT two years ago, the Annual Board instituted a number of oratorical contests for the purpose of call- ing forth the ability of the students in that line of work. The nature of the iinal contest was not determined until a short time before its rendition, when it was suggested that the winners of first and second places should be speakers on the Commencement program.

Listen my children and I shall tell, Of the midnight ride of Willie Worrelle, He rode on a pony so swift, so fleet, That Willie could hardly keep his seat. To Hellas fair, 'neath the evening skies, Galloping on our William flies, Where 'mid those heroes of endless fame, The pony, browsing, becomes quite tame. You know the rest, how in class next day, William alone was happy and gay, He-the star pupil, he-Vance's pride. This is the tail of the midnight ride. Side-talks With Girls. BY ASH RUTHMORE. Lily F...z, '99: Certainly, a petrined pig-tail would look very pretty suspended from your bracelet. If soot won't stick on your eyebrows, try barn-paint. Cecelia: Drink sage tea. Probably in this manner you might be able to imbibe some wisdon. Yes, the begin- ning and the end are equally important. No, King George the third did not write the Declaration of Inde- pendence, McKinley did. B. von B.: The Melville Penninsula mentioned in the geo- graphy is not in Purdue. Mabel A.: A haughty manner is apt to discourage the young gentlemen. Carrie Armstrong: No, it is not improper to carry his pic- ture in your watch, provided you do not look at it more than steen times a day. Pricilla: We are indeed sorry to learn that you have lost the power of speech, but for the benefit of others we will suggest no remedy. Dorothy Bonner: It would be perfectly proper to swear at Mr. Vance, if you do not swear out loud. Bessie Gannan: To eat ice-cream from the same plate with a boy is not strictly a penitentiary offence, but to use the same spoon might make you acquainted with the interior of the house of correction. Side-tracks With Boys. BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Bob Richardson: Yes the effect would be decidedly fetch- ing, also striking, if you should turn your coat around the same way as your collar. No objections whatever to parting your locks in the middle. Burton Smead: In answer to your inquiry, we have inves- tigated the matter, and have found that Corliss Sa Go. make the desired 611- inch collar. H. B.: To acquire a flow of language, step on a tack in your stocking-feet, or stub your toe against the bed. Mark Mennell: Don't be so bashful Mark. The young ladies adore you. Adams: Yes you are right for once. Since your whiskers have refused to grow in spite of all you have done, it would be a good plan to graft feathers on your face . instead. T. J. C., '99: A book of effective expressions may be ob- tained in any book store. Of course, 'fOh, my dear f99 ! ! !,', accompanied by slashings of the air, tearings of the hair, and a tragic facial expression, produces a stunning effect, but variety is the spice of life you know. C. Niles: Poor fellow, judging from your poem, I can- not make her smile, you must be in a deplorable con- dition. Perhaps you will succeed if you show her the poem. Try it. Among the Freshies. Fond Mother-I am so delighted to find you reading the Annual for I know that with such a book as that for your guide, your thoughts will be led to the loftier things.
