As tiie end of school approaches, the Seniors, who are so soon to leave the place where they have spent four bright and happy years, feel that this is a time for looking backward. They review the achievements of the past year with a feeling of fo VI ness and self-satisfaction, fond- ness for this noisy, dusty old building, for all our occasional weariness at the dull grind of class routine, and justifiable satisfaction in the record of a successful year. When school opened it was in an atmosphere of the most favorable seriousness. The students felt changed, stuck to their studies, the societies openel their weekly meetings with an unmistakable determination. Then came the first great event of the year. The Luminary election, in which all the school had a voice. We feel justified n saying that the staff which was the result of this election has. with the co-operation of the teachers and pupils, administered the most successful year in the life of this paper, and is now sending to the press the most complete Ckntkai.ian ever issued bv the school; that it leaves a treasury not only free from debt, but with a surplus 3f over two hundred dollars, and a prospect of a larger sale than Tuu Annual has ever before known. In the athletic field, also. Central’s banner is waving high. Our foot ball team won five out of the eight important games of the year, ami met most glorious defeat in EDITORIAL. the other three. Our showing in basket oall anti base ball is creditable to the name of Central. In fact, the base ball enthusiasm seems to have affected even our Faculty, who have uubcnded their dignity enough to form a team of their own and to enter the lists with Central’s sons, to uphold her glory. Now the time is approaching for the Annual Track Meet, and every one about school feels confident that we will win laurels in this arena. We feel proud when we think of our Christmas Flay, which was a success financially and otherwise—thanks to the efforts of the societies, the school, and Mr. Dillenbeck. All the Societies joined in taking part in it, much to their own credit and to the satisfaction of the students, who are always glad to see them taking an active interest in school enterprises. The mention of Societies calls to mind our Hall Pro-grains, which are, after all. one of the most enjoyable features of life at Central. The C. L. C.’s. although they wore forced to appear first and without much time for preparation. gave us so inviting a taste of society work that every one was eager for more. When the Philos appea ed two weeks later, their decidedly original and refined pre-grain met with a hearty reception. They were followed by the Aristonians and The Annual will not attempt to judge between them. Suffice it to snv that the laurels for excellent Hall Programs are to be given to the two girls’ societies. The Webster Club acquitted itself creditably n tne entertainment ami proved that, as Dr. White said. ” They are not dead.” Last came the Platos. We always expect to enjoy ourselves heartily when the Platos appear in Assembly! and this year was no exception to this rule. We like a good laugh once in a while, and thank the boys for giving it to us. We cannot leave societies without mentioning one of the most justly popular institutions in our school, one that has done much toward maintaining its reputation, the Central Glee Club. Then, most exciting of the events of the year, came the Senior election. Let those who scoff at the high and mighty Seniors of naughty three and hint that they have much conceit and no judgment, but look at the list of their officers and become silent. From first to last their selection of representatives, and especially of their chief representative, shows sound common sense and appreciation of merit. A most promising sign is that three of these officers are girls, a fact which indicates that Central's girls are at last waking up to the fact that it isn’t fair to do thro. -fourths of the v.ork and then give their brothers nil the honors. Last and best of all is that which is not yet come, our Class Day and our Graduation. For the Seniors among us. they will stand for the rounding out of a successful course: whose joys, sorrows and responsibilities have been but a preparation for the world which is before them. But the glad accomplishment is tinged with the sadness of farewell CENTRL sp mr r J 24 SEN I OR OFFICERS. Adcltx'rt Heritor. 8erg«nnt-nt-Armn. Florence Trotter. 8 ct. Kalph K. Kill . Gift Giver.

We must die, although the world may never see our like again— must perish off the face of the earth. Never more will the sun shine down upon our radiance more dazzling than its own. Never rao— shall we move, majestic, through the halls of old Central, a source of awe and reverence to the timid Freshies, a vexation and an annoyance to the important Sophomores, whose brassy arrogance was shamed by our sterling merit, an example to studious and admiring Juniors, a joy to our teachers and a terror to Mr. Coll. Never more. Cone are those joyous days, and our fate is close upon us. On Commencement Day will the awful consummation of our destiny arrive. We whisper it to you lest the shock of our sudden destruction be too great for your loving hearts to bear. The cause of this dire misfortune to the human race is one which you have never suspected. Dike a thunderbolt from n clear sky it falls upon you. We fain would mitigate the pain it must cause and yet the dreadful truth mast be told. The Seniors have become afflicted with a strange enlargement of the cranium. It is growing rapidly worse and worse, and such is the amazing speed of the fatal march of this malady that by graduation day our skulls will no longer be able to contain the brains that are endeavoring to fill the universe, and they will burst, leaving their contents to be diffused through the ether. Thas will be quenched the light of Central, nay. even of the whole world. Dear friends, bear it calmly. And yet we cannot blame you for those tears. It is fitting that you should weep. Central, lift up thy gates in lamentation. Let the sound of thy wailing he heard in the land. For whom thou shalt cry aloud in anguish. “Where are my darlings, the delight of my heart, the pride of ray soul?” The answer will come back to thee from the depths of thy desolate halls, “Gone—gone—gone. ’ ’ JUNIOR OFFICERS.

After being compelled to hide our shining light, not under one bushel, but two or three. for one year—we have come forth in all our glory, all the more brilliant for our rest. As Freshmen we astonished everyone. We did everything so well. We were three times more green than any other “Freshies.” As Sophomores we kept so quiet that they even forgot to put us in fiiB Annual. And now. now, we have blossomed forth full-fledged Juniors. Hut no one is surprised at our brilliancy. They all say, even the faculty, “We knew it.” Now this seems conceited, does it n t I Well, you know that there is only one time when conceit is the least bit pardonable, and that is when you have something to be conceited about, and, if you don’t believe we deserve all this praise, look at us. Notice how the Freshies, the Sophs, and even the Seniors pay homage to us. Of course, the Seniors try to make you believe that we are nobody, just because the teachers like us so well that they request us as a special favor to stay two weeks longer. Ha! Ha! Why, everyone can see through that. It is nothing but “sour grapes.” Poor Seniors! They are mad because the teachers are so anxious to get rid of tjiem two weeks ahead of time. So. ye people of Central, follow us. lu our illustrious footsteps there Is fame and fortune—that is, a few crumbs that we do not eair for. Watch us! And when we sit upon the stage as graduates, you will hear a murmur arise from the admiring crowd, “What brilliancy! and magnificence!” and happiness will reign for, ”A thing of beauty is a jov forever.’ A. M. Barr, ’04. SOPHOMORES. SOPHOMORES. it to them, as they have always been our friends. Besides our uniform good work we have captured one important prize, an honor of which we are justifiably proud. This was the medal, offered by “The Sons of the Revolution” for the best essay on “The Women of the Revolution.” and won by Miss Lily Bell Neal. Perhaps you did not know that she is a member of thus illustrious class. Y are very much tempted to be as brave as the Philos, and close with a toast to ourselves, but instead we will be content with prophesying that in the years to come the class of '05 will distinguish themselves and show themselves worthy members of Central High School. Lee W. Campbell. We, tiie members of the Sophomore Class, wish to annul nee formally our existence to the pupils of Central High School. Of course, we know that in the two years -. have attended “Grand Old Central,” we have made our impression. But as we were not asked last year, our Freshman year how long ago that seems and how glad we were when we could say we were Sophomores), to say anything in The Centraijan, this is our first opportunity to make an announcement where we know it will reach nil patriotic students. Well, we started last year, shy and trembling Freshmen (would yon ever think it to look at us now?), and have done good work ever since. Ask our teachers, any of them will tell you that. There is one teacher who says we are more like the class that graduates this year than any other she has ever had. Now some haughty Seniors may think this is a compliment for us. hut we are certain that the teacher who made tile remark intended it as a compliment for the Seniors, and as such we condescend to give si FRESHMEN. FRESHMEN. We are Freshmen and although the Seniors snub us and pass by us as if we are nothing, we are still the same unconquerable Freshmen, and we are proud of the fact. We were going to have an election, but we were afraid our enthusiasm would make the Seniors feel ashamed that they were so quiet over theirs, and so we decided not to have one. Nevertheless, we are here for four years to come — maybe longer. Bernard Buckner. Hall Moore Wood Weeks Barber Dutton Rose Machuren Beardsley Baton Kendall Welsh Bower THE LUMINARY. Past, Present and Future. riiE other day I dreamed a dream of the past and the future of The Luminary. I thought I stood in the hall of the old building, on a certain day in December, 1885, when the first issue of The Luminary was being sold. There was great excitement over the strange event. Pupils gathered in groups to discuss it, and teachers smiled benevolently to encourage the editors. All sorts of remarks could be heard. i ome were appreciative as: “Isn’t it fine to have a school paper?” “What a good story that was of K’a.” “Joe. that was a pretty hard roast on you in the locals; served you right, though.” ••Isn’t it splendid? I’ll have to get two copies and send one to May.” Some, however, were adverse, as: ‘•Well, if I couldn’t get up something better than this old cheap, coverless, twelve sheet paper, I’d leave papers alone.” “Wasn’t that story about the worst you ever read?” “Pretty poor locals. Don’t think I’ll get a copy next time.” Yet after the sales were over, the editors felt that all was going well and decided to try again. And I saw in my dream that the members of the “Central Debating Society” did try again, and that soon the Platos, Philos and S. L. II’s came to their assistance, making the paper improve year by year. You know that you all had a voice in the election of this year’s staff, and that this staff is trying to make Piie Luminary more of a school paper than it has ever been before. But in my dream the school spirit had assumed such grand proportions that the paper was the l est. school paper that was ever published. Every issue had as much material as The Annual. The stories were such good ones and so well told that they made their authors famous immediately. The pictures were so fine that they were sought by art collectors. The science, law and history articles were so learned that they were sought by the greatest scientists and historians in the country. The advertisements! Oh, dear. They were so numerous that the business managers had to refuse some every month. Of course every pupil bought a paper. News stands demanded n large number of copies. That was the golden age for The Luminary. Although that was only a dream, let us make it as nearly true as possible. Ella Beardsley. ss PH ILO MATH E AN LITERARY SOCIETY.

The Philos may remember proudly, that in the past, the Society, not only presented such Open Sessions as “The Banquet of Famous Shades,” “Vanity Fair ’ and “The Conquests of Nations,” but also that they worked unselfishly and enthusiastically to give entertainments worthy of the name of Old Central. In the present, the day of Hall Programs, the Philos have succeeded in showing some of the results of Society training and in making the one short hour allotted to them as entertaining as possible. Also, the Society has steadily grown and strengthened its footing in the school. The Philos desire tin help of the teachers and of the students, and they have tried to secure it by carrying out the ideas of the Society, a group of girls banded together for mutual help and for advancing the literary standard of the school. As lor the Philos of the future, they have much before them. Kncouraged by the recognition of the school and stimulated by the opportunities of the Christmas Play and the Hall Program, they will certainly realize the hopes and expectations of others for them. But what binds the Society together and gives it a place in the school is the Philo spirit. All Philos are deeply interested in the welfare of the school and in the pupils: the affection for Central is greatly increased by membership in the Society. The Philos desire not only a perfect society, but also one that will be a part of the school and of interest to the scholars. The girls do not want a society, narrowed by prejudice, but widened by good will for fellow students and true appreciation of the talents of others. With these ideals the Philos hope to reach the highest point of usefulness to others and to themselves. Mary Louise Moore ’03. THE PLATOMIAM LITERARY SOCIETY. THE PLATON I AN SOCIETY.

For the benefit of those entering school tins year, who have been denied the pleasure of learning the origin o Central's oldest literary society, it might, be well to say that in lt S7. a body of hoys who were memb rs ol the Central High School Debating Society, composed of both boys and girls, realizing that l ett M work could he done by a society it; which essays would he written instead of love letters, and declamations delivered instead of declarations of love, handed in their resignations. They then organized what has ever since been known as the Platonian Literary Society. The Platos have always been in the first rank of Central’s societies, in the opinion of others besides its members. An offer of membership has not been refused in three years and perhaps longer. This should be proof of our standing with the pupils. Since the Open Sessions and contests have been abolished. athletic contests, and the annual TIall Program, have been the only occasions on which the society can come before the public. From the fact that the school at large does not see ns as often as formerly, questions have arisen as to whether the Pintos are keeping up their old standard. We can only answer these falsely based sus- picions by referring to the work which lias been seen by the school during this school year. Four of our members were on the foot ball team ami upon the track team. As for our literary work, the best proof of our standing would be to quote the words of one of the faculty, who said; “When the Platos come on in Assembly Hall, we are sure of something original and good.” We flatter ourselves that the last Hall Program has not fallen below the best. The society has lately received an impetus in the form of twelve new members. We feel confident that they will prove an honor to the society, and help it to maintain that place which it has held for sixteen years in the history of Central High School. May the Platos continue to remain first in athletics, first in literary talent, and next, to love for “Old Central.” first in the hearts of the pupils of our school. Howard Hudson, ’04.

J QAtr :i becomes a pleasant duty to proclaim to j]0 the world at large what was the origin and what has sustained in honor and credit the good old name'i ami glorious liistorv of the Central Literary Club. Around the three dates above cluster the three most important epochs in our history. It was iu the year of 1882 that our so cietv was ushered into this world and at once began making history for “O 1 d Central ' Succeeding a five years period o f history - making came a time when things It (• g a n to drag. A close and critical introspection brought to light the fact that continued progress was chocked and almost prevented by the influence of drones who were “hanging on.” in spite of the fact that they had become wearied ami worn out and had failed to keep pace with the ever increasing growth of the society. In the year of 1887 those who were retarding our development were diplomatically mpuwted to “pack their duds and go.” and this they did. These discards formed a society under the name of Platos. The significance of this organization was at that time suspected, and his- tory has confirmed the suspicion that this organization was intended to be, and has ltccoine, the fitting place for depositing what has been so aptly termed the caput mortuum. Being relieved of the burden of dead timber, with its branches carefully pruned, the C. L. C. again forged ahead, winning victories over every society in sight. It has given the most creditable entertainments, maintained the highest standard of individual membership, and in every way sustained year by year an established and recognized standard of excellence. The result has been that now. in the year 19U3, the Central Literary Club stands on the pinnacle of achievement ami of il can be truly said nc plus ultra. In its relations with social and intellectual phases of school life, aside from the established curriculum of the school, it is certainly gim i tta non. In any hall of fame to be established iu the future within the walls of Old Central, a bronze tablet of heroic size must of necessity be devoted to tin proper recognition of the good work of this club in uplifting the grade of scholarship.

As the society has never been divided by factions, all the enthusiasm has been directed fco one end. the good of the S. L. H. So once more has the old adage “In union there is strength,” been proved. The effect of the excellent work done in our regular weekly program was shown in our Hall Program last year; and. but for a little misfortune, would have been much more successfully shown this year. Our high standard. which is kept up by the thoroughness with which both the character and the work of every candidate is looked into, was illustrated only a few days since in the election from our membership of the President of the Senior Class.

And so you ask, my children, what it means, this knot of purple ribbon and this golden leaf with “A” upon it! Then draw more closely around the evening lamp and I will tell you. It is a tale of old Central, which tells; of the merry throngs that there assembled daily to drink as deeply as might he of the Pierian spring. Once, not so many years ago. seven maidens met within the classic precincts and formed a band now known as “ Aristonians. ” The new society was a sturdy urchin from the first and l fore it was a year old. was clamoring for its place in the world and crying for the moon, namely, a part, in the great Christmas play. Though told by ita brother and sister societies that children should be seen and not heard, it took its little brother. Webster, by the hand and won renown on the dramatic stage amid plaudits from the crowd end groans from its envious elders. And how it grew! Unlike other children at the “growing age.” ii was not sensitive about its size, but exulted when old friends greeted it with the time-worn phrase, “How you do grow.” Long before it reached its second birthday, the youthful society had “appeared in public on the stage.” bringing into the dazzling light of publicity some promising pupils. But not in public only has its superiority been shown. In every class room are its members to be seen, winning glory and reaping whole harvests of “K’s.” Throughout the sordid world are its graduate members scattered, diffusing knowledge and “leavening the whole lump.” From this circle of thirty-eight members shall go forth unfledged college professors and future presidents of the Athenaeum. And so, my children, be diligent; con your lessons well. Some day one of you may grow up to be an Aristonian. Faith Marvin. THE CENTRAL WEBSTER CLUB. THE CENTRAL WEBSTER CLUB. Colors: Red and White.

Although the Central Webster Club has had but a short life of three years, that time has seen it advance until it now disputes first place with the other Central societies. The group of ambitious boys who bunded themselves together to follow in the footsteps of the mighty Web ster wished to emulate him in courage, strength, and oratory; but were compelled to follow him in another way, to work from the bottom of the ladder of public opinion to the place where they now stand, respected by all. They had to struggle on, never fliuching under the ceaseless hail of criticism and ridicule, until they conquered the forces leagued against them, and pressed on to plant the standard of the C. W. C., where it can be seen floating proudly in the breeze, and proclaiming to the world the virtues of Daniel Webster, “the man who met and conquered everything in his path.” The Webster have not been idle during this last year. Out of many contestants for the honor of representing Central at the declamatory contest at Chicago WEBSTER CLUB. last fall, a Webster mau was chosen. Two worthy followers of that famous statesman took leading parts in the Christmas play; and the recent llall Program given by the society, demonstrated its strength and ability. Not only in these lines, but also in athletics, do the Websters show the energy, determination, and pluck which is bound to succeed. During the football season three members of the C. W. C. did much to help Central’s team to its many victories on the gridiron. The club is represented in our basket ball team, while on the track we have some of the best athletes in the school, and a Webster holds down the initial bag in the baseball nine. The Mandolin Club is helped to its high state of proficiency by two of our men, while several more sing the praises of “The Wild Mon of Borneo. On the whole, we pride ourselves on the splendid school spirit, in work and ploy, which Is displayed by our society. We confidently hope, that the name and fame of Webster and the Central Webster Club will live and continue to be a guiding star to future generations. Harry D.

A number of freshmen have been noticed gazing wonderingly at a crowd of stern-looking youths, hurrying across Locust street shortly after the fifth hour —a sheet of music in one hand, a bun sandwich in the other, in a vain endeavor to get somewhere. These youths are the Glee Club, whose time has become ■jo v}ili. � hV that they cannot be burdened with lessons or meals, who are called upon to make every notable civic and literary gathering a success. and who awaited a eall to give the president a few of their numerous selections when he reached Kansas City in May. To those who are anxious concerning th fate of the gallant Romeo and his timid Juliet, it can be said with pride that Romeo has since entirely abstained and that Juliet has been shown the proper use for a razor. It might be of interest to some to know that “we and Col. Van Horn’’ were called upon to assist in the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Kansas City. Rut sueh honors seem insignificant when it can l e said that Mr. Dutton, as the “Wild Man from Borneo,” was proclaimed “the Jonah man” by the entire Bar Association. Mr. Ebert is the sole remaining representative of that famous squad of a few years ago, who projKMinded the well known “Cat Logic.” Since the last exhibition of his marvelous skill in that line, in the last Glee Club entertainment in the Assembly Hall, he seems to have forgotten the art. But, seriously, the Glee Club has had the most successful year in its history. Never before has the club been so popular with the teachers, pupils and general public, and so greatly in demand. We have had to refuse scores of invitations on account of our school duties. The only explanation we offer for our success is embodied in two words Mrs. Voorhces. Those who are able to appreciate the vast amount of work and skill required to bring the club to its present perfection are well able to congratulate Mrs. Voorhees on the wonderful work that she has accomplished. Great credit is also due to Mr. Dutton for the splendid way in which he has managed the club for the past two years. Next year’s club will feel a great deal the lack of a person such as Mr. Dutton in whom it may place its entire trust. Makti.n Butleu Genii • V3. THE GIRLS’ CHORUS. MEMBERS. First Sopranos: Florence Block, Isabel Barton, Bernice Cromwell, Grace Evans, Maud Emmert, Jessie Harris. Faith Marvin, U1 Meredith, Pauline Post, Retina Sehnakenburg, Cora Surface, Mary Wheeler, Nellie Maggard, Kathleen Wilson, Edith Cammack, Lotta Dahn. Much can be said about the general excellence of the music department at Central, but the Girl’s Chorus, which is a fine example of that excel-ence, should be especially commended. Their programs, some of which were gotten up on exceedingly short notice, show that they have worked hard and earnestly. They have reached a high point of artistic finish, which is wonderful for such a number of untrained voices, whose only time for practice is during one school period. Miscellaneous songs, and choruses from operas and oratorios, have been studied by them: nothing seems too difficult. Such barriers ns beginning harmony, sight-reading, musical history, biography, etc., have also been cleared. For their special program in Assembly Hall, they selected a musical cantata, “Florabell.” While pre- Second Sopranos: Laura Campbell, Bunn Humph- r«-y.

The music in the school is on an equal footing with the other studios, both ns to educational value and the number of points credited. Many of the girls, when they had reached their limit in points, took the study for the musical education it nfforded. The girls of the chorus, who do not graduate, intend to keep up their work next year. To say that Mrs. Voorhees is dearly loved and appreciated, is like repenting an axiom—it is a well known and self-evident fact. All those who have voices and care to sing, should take advantage of her fine tuition and enter one of her classes. Regina Scunakenburg. THE CENTRAL MANDOLIN CLUB. The Mandolin Club has continued its great success of last year. At every appearance it has been given an enthusiastic reception, and the warmth of this has steadily grown with each performance on the Friday morning program. I art of the year s work included four appearances on the Assembly Hall program, the giving of a program before the Kansas City, Kan. High School, a place on the High School program given before the Athenaeum, and furnishing the music for the Christmas play. This last was with short notice and without a full rehearsal. On account of pres of school work a great many requests for outside music have been denied. The membership has not changed a great deal from that of last year. The following is a list: First mandolins: Maude Clements. Augusta Shropshire, Henry Clarke. Ambert Haley. Second mandolins: Edna Clarke. Ella Foster, Mr. Graves. Guitars: Miss Strauchon, Frank Banister, Harry Cotton. Piano: Georgia Shropshire. • THE CHRISTMAS PLAY CAST. THE CHRISTMAS PLAY CAST. Oub Christmas play this year was h brilliant evidence of what united effort 'aB do. Faculty, societies and pupils seemed to strive to make it the one great event of the year. The crowded and enthusiastic house was proof of how wed they succeeded. But all the enthusiasm in the world could not have guided and trained our budding Mansfields and Julia Marlowes, if it had not been for the patience and skill of Mr. Dil-lenbeck and those who assisted him. It is to them that Central owes a great jwirt of her thunks for her I� hO. The proceeds of the entertainment are to be devoted to a worthy cause—that of improving our stage with some new scenery. For proof of our great m-t-d ,n tins line-se,- Plato Hall Program: lhc Curtain-raiser, “Change Partners.5 was an amusing farce in which Mary Uuise Moore IfwiL- u-itli ■ pecker Topping, the poor, unfortunate bridegroom, certainly had the sympathy of the audience. He played with great credit to himself and to his society. Mr. Poppytop and his daughter. Anna Maria, the bride, as impersonated by Mr. Dwight Davis and Miss Hortense Bachrach, could not have been better done. The character of Mrs . Bunthunder, a much misunderstood young wife, was taken charmingly hv Mins Marv Neal; while Mr. Rowland Hill, as General Bun-thunder. a “Companion of the Bath.” made an excellent irate husband. Mr. Loving Crutcher. as Captain Bapp. was a striking military man.” Annie Mahan and Clifford Joins as specimens of the emotional nobility, deserve great ciedit for their teat fill efforts. Perhaps one of the most interesting characters in the east was that of Uncle Bopad-dy, the conveniently deaf old gentleman, by Mr. Charlie Lynn. His Mrs. Sbrnerton. a widow.

May the eighth, eight girls representing the French department appeared before the school in a farce entitled “Lea Cuisinieres. ” The role of “Francoise,” the head cook, was taken with great spirit by Miss Mabelle Thornton. She spoke the lines with delightful expression and was altogether the most popular actress of the afternoon. Madame Beloiseau, the mistress who discovers her servants in the midst of their stolen banquet, was Miss Marguerite Teasdale, who carried her part with a dignity which was materially increased by her stately apearance. The part of Ernestine, her maid, was taken by Miss Aimee Teasdale, whose charming manner and good accent won the approval of all her audience. Some other cooks were represented by Kdith Moore. Elizabeth Barton and Aletha Barr, who filled their parts with great success. Mh� Barr, as she hid under the table, was the personification of mischievous alarm. Miss Lulu Hayes, who appeared as Hoioisc, the modiste, won the hearts of all her audience by her pretty face and her repentant, manner. One of the most charm- ing characters in the farce was Miss Goebel, otherwise Miss Belle Ilormell, who assumed a motherly manner with great success. The success of the farce is largely due to the untiring efforts of Miss Clarke and Miss Wood. The farce was well chosen for presentation to an audience who did no; understand French, for the subject was familiar to all — even the boys know something about dish washing an I cooking, if only in their results—and as the words were simple and the acting of the girls was so realistic that none of the audience lost the point of the farce. Tie-whole programme was a great success and reflected untold credit on the department which presented it. THE GERMAN PLAY CAST. THE GERM AM PLAY. On Friday afternoon, May 15. the pupils of the German Department presented a very creditable programme. representing the work of the German classes. The first number was a piano solo, “Violets.” by Miss Helen Krabill, whose delicate touch was well suited to the interpretation of her theuie. This was followed hv a ballad by Drexel Haines, illustrated in pantomime by Mr. Haines and Mias Marguerite Zimmerman, who were dressed in the typical German peasant costum -. Next Miss Klla Beardsley, a prominent Philo and one of the most popular Central girls, sang Rubenstein s Spring Song” in a sweet, pure voice, that seemed filled with the airy spirit of springtime. The fourth number was Mendelssohn’s “Rondo Caprieoso,” played by Miss Ixmise Kuld. with excellent execution and much feeling. Last, but not least, came a one-act farce entitled “Oversalted, given by Messrs. Campbell, Sharp. Warrington ami Misse. Mense, Levine and Potterf. The farce represented the I trials and tribulations of a young wife who. in the ahsenc of the cook, had prepared a dinner to which her husband had unexpectedly brought home a friend. The dinner proved to be rather too salty, whereto hung the tale and a family quarrel. The part of the wife was cleverly acted by Miss Blanche Mense. while that of her husband was taken by Mr. Clyde Campbell, who had fortified himse'.f lor the role by donning a villainous looking moustache, curled upwards in true German style. When the curtain fell upon the first reconciliation we all decided that we had witnessed a moat entertaining program. The afternoon was closed by the singing of the German classes of Germany's national song, “Die Wacht am Rhein.” LANGUAGES.—departmemt of emglish. JOHN RUSK1N- rut world of literature lias at various times possessed lovers of uature, poets, masters of happy phrasing and graphic expression painters, moralists. philosophers, masters of architectural art, and men of various learned callings, endowed with great mental powers, but one must search diligently to find among them a man so com pletely gifted with the spirit ami letter of learning as was John ituskiu. To the name of poet, no one can dispute his title. Not only in verse, but also in prose he epeaks with a beauty and delicacy not to be acquired by rules of rhetoric, yet easily intelligible to any one in sympathy with his beliefs and interested in his statements. No other writer is there whose expressions in Knglish arc so uniformly eloquent, musical and rich in ideas. The “cumulative humanities'’ could not have been wanting in the lineage of the man his works reveal to us, if anything of power comes from their influence, while his own chance allusions and explanations, the critical insight and vast knowledge of a true scholar are constantly exemplified. In his works intended for those possessed ol some learning, he is not content to leave the reader with isolated impressions, choosing rather to treat all subjects as fully as possible, expressing not only his own thoughts, hut also those of the greatest writers of the past in support or contradiction of his own beliefs. He has a way of bringing outside information to give clearness or charm so natural and pleasing that it relieves him of any suspicion of pedantry. In such works as his “Proserpina,” a book of loving studies of wayside flowers, one is constantly surprised, delighted aud instructed by bits of scieuee, literature aud philosophy. For instance, in the chapter entitled “Papaver K hoe as” we find a delightful discussion of poppies; uot such as we might expect from u botanist, not such as one would find iu Thoreau, if he had described the same flower; but something more charming than either could have produced, dignified by the essential science of the one am! not lacking in the nature-knowledge of the other. At the beginning the word “proper” compels him to pause aud give it serious attention; the reader is led through a discussion as to the use of a word which cannot fail to be a valuable lesson in the distinctions of our language. Iu one sentence he says “I said of the Poppy, that it was robed in ‘the purple of the Caesars.’ The words gave, to any one who had a clear idea of a Caesar and of his dress, a better and stricter account of the flower than if I had only said ‘Petals bright ami scarlet.’ What I meant was, first, that the poppy leaf looks dyed through and through, like glass or Tyrian tissue; and not merely painted; secondly, that the splendor of it is proud, almost insolently so. Augustus in his glory might have been clothed like one of these; and Saul: but not David nor Solomon; still less the teacher of Solomon when He puts on ‘glorious apparel.’ ” After the discussion of the structure of the flower, he quotes from Homer and Virgil, passing from the descriptions of the poppy by these classical writers to the DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH. place it has occupied in architecture. Words cannot describe the skill with which he connects details and explanations into a harmonious whole. As a writer of elegant and expressive prose, Ku.skin has no equal among modern authors. The scenes he had in mind rise clearly before the readers, as if he had seen them anti needed but that magic touch to bring them back. His similes, though daring, are always true. When writing in the heat of controversy his ideas burst forth in an almost incoherent torrent, but they are ever the same, brilliant, rounded, finished, eloquent, llis sentences ring with the highest art of oratory. In the field of art criticism Kuskin stands above all others. Not only to the high priests and votaries of “art for art’s sake.” hut to the common people as well, has he been a teacher of what is wise, artistic and harmonious in buildings, paintings and furnishings. As an observer of the philosophy of existence, he deserves more than passing notice. He seems equally capable of understanding the faith by which the apostle cries “Oh, death where is thy sting?” and the stern stoicism of the author of “De Contemnenda Morte.” In every field which he has entered, and in every capacity which he has adorned. John Kuskin has added honor to his name, and has clearly shown himself a master of the learning of men. a workman in the imperishable fabric of Anglo-Saxon speech, true to the highest ideals of his art. E. E. Bowers. PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY OF HAMLET. There is no more interesting study, either in fiction or drama, than the development of character. In the study of Hamlet we note that of the three principal powers of the mind- intellect, feeling and will -the first is the most prominent. Hamlet hud keen perception. He knew that Rosencrantz and Guildenstein had been sent to watch him. he resented this and reprovingly told them that he was aware of their purpose. When lie was going to England he shrewdly suspected treachery, and upon opening the king’s letter, found his surmises true. Best of all. his keen perception told him there was some mystery connected with his father’s death and he determined to unravel it. He ha l a good memory and an especially fertile imagination. His imagination is certainly displayed when he feigned madness and when he decided that: the play's the thing. Wherein to catch the conscience of the king. In no place does it take higher flight than when he speaks to Horatio of Yorik’s skull: Hero hung those lips I have kiss'd I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar? Thought is Hamlet's dominant faculty. We see by DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH. his soliloquy that he considered it too much so: “Tnus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought. And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard their currents turn away And lose the name of action.” Of feelings, the ideal are shown rather than the sensuous. His agnostic emotions are displayed by his hatred toward the kins:, his timidity in carrying on his plans. an l his jealousy at Ophelia’s grave; the altruistic, by setting his life “at a pin’s fee.” even sacrificing his love for Ophelia in order to carry oat the plan of revenge; intellectual. first in the phase of surprise when he learns of his father’s ghost, next, perplexed as to whether it is really n ghost or an evil spirit, last, belief when he is convinced by his uncle’s actions, that his suppositions are correct: the moral emotions are called forth when he considers the rightness and oilghtnesa of the deed he is contemplating, and whether it is his duty to carry it out. Orief. one of the passions which act most severely on physical life, affects the course of Hamlet’s life greatly. It makes the world seem undesirable to live in and suggests the idea of suicide. Conflicting emotions, some of which urged him to lay down life, others of the same force which restrained him. resulted in inaction. Will, which is necessary in order to accomplish anything, is sadly lacking in Hamlet. This is his fatal weak- ness. He deliberates, forms all sorts of resolutions, but never acts. When at length he did kill his uncle, it was-only on the spur of the moment, merely an impulse, no� an act of will. If will-power were only in the same pro portion as his other faculties, he would have been an ad-admirablc character, and, well, the sti ry would not have ended as it did. Etiikl Fishkk, ’03. DEPARTMENT OF GREEK THE HOMERIC POEMS. 11E tribulation of a two year’s struggle with Greek grammar and with Xenophon's history of the March of the Ten Thousand are rewarded in the third year of the Greek course by the satisfaction that comes from a study of llouier. It is not only a great pleasure, but a privilege to be able to read in the original the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey,’ the greatest epics the world has ever known. They have inspired some of the best works in art and literature. It was the description of “the father of gods ami of men” in the first book of the “Iliad which furnished the inspiration to'the old Greek sculptor, Pheidias, for his famous statue of Zeus. Not only did the ancient writers quote from these masterpieces but our English authors have made countless references tc them. Milton's poems, especially “Paradise land are full of the pretty epithets and expressions, common in Homer. To the average reader, such an expression as “Thetis' tinsel slippered feet’ found in “Cornua would have no particular force, but if lie had read the “Iliad he would at once think of the epithet, “silver-footed. there given to the sea-goddess. Although this is but one example from one poet, it shows of how much value is a knowledge of the Greek poems in reading English. We have several translations of these great poems, which a re considered very good, but in these we lose sight of several things which appear iu the original. Concerning this point, Matthew Arnold has written: “Home is rapid in his movement, Homer is plain in liis words and style; Homer is simple in his ideas; Homer is noble iu his manner. Cowper renders him ill because he is slow iu his movement uud elaborate in his style; Pope renders him ill because he is artificial both iu his style and iu hi words; Chapman renders him ill because he is fantastic in his ideas.” Iu these translations, a certain amount of the beautiful thought and of the inspiration of the Creek poet is lost. To be sure, Keats, who knew only the translation, wrote about these poems: “Then felt I like some watcher of the skies When a new planet swims into his ken; Or like stout Cortez—when with eagle eyes He stared at the Pacific, and all his men Looked at each other with a mild surmise— Silent upon a peak in Darien. However, the beauty of the language itself the total absence of harsh sounds and the musical flow of the lines cannot be imitated in our tongue. Thus one gains much more by studying the original Greek than by reading the translations. Then, too, one derives a certain satisfaction from having read for himself what the poet of olden times thought and sang. The incidents related in the two poems have nearly the same interest to-day that they had in the time in which Si DEPARTMENT OF GREEK they were written. The “Iliad,” which is the story of the Anger of Archilles and of the fall of Troy, deals mostly with war. Yet, near the close of the sixth book, there is one of the most beautiful and touching little incidents to be found in all literature—the farewell of Hector to his wife and child at the Scnean Gates, as he is about to depart for battle. When, fully arrayed in his armor, he reaches out his hands to take the baby, the little one screams with fright at the waving crest of the helmet. Aft : removing the objectionable piece. Hector takes the baby and tosses him up in his hands. Then he earnestly prays to Zeus to watch over and protect his only son. The •‘Odyssey.” which is of an entirely different nature, deals with the wanderings of Odysseus, commonly known as Ulysses, after the fall of Troy. Who is not familiar with some, at least, of the stories of this hero’s hair-breadth escapes! All through tin- poem, the goddess Athene aids Ulysses, her especial charge, in every possible way. while Poseidon, the sea-god, does all in his power to thwart the hero’s desires. Yet in this poem, too, arc related incidents which keep it from growing tiresome. One of the prettiest of these is that which takes place just before Ulysses goes to tin- city of the Phaeacians. N'ausikaa, the Phaeaeian princess. and her slave women go to the river to wash the linen; while they are waiting for the clothes to dry on the beach, they [day a game of ball. It is the shout which they raise when the ball is accidentally thrown into the river and lost that awakens Ulysses from his slumbers in the thicket, near at hand. In the meeting which follows, N'ausikaa gives an example of the maidenly modesty which every young woman should possess. Thus, here and in many other places, the poet shows his high ideas of morality. Professor Jebb wrote that the Homeric poetry was to the ancient Greeks what the Bible was to the Hebrews. It constituted not only their literature, but also their laws, their education and their religion. How much it must have meant to a Greek to hear the old ban!, with his inborn love of music, poetry, and all that is beautiful, pour forth his soul in those poems which were destined to live and to furnish such wonderful inspirations to all generations!

DEPARTMENT OF LATIN- conscientious study of Latin is of so much benefit that arguments in its behalf seem unnecessary; yet it is always a pleasure to its students to speak of its worth. When we realize that more than half the words in the English dictionary are of Latin origin, we must admit that, for a dead language, the Latin is “exceedingly alive.” If we wish to enjoy the richness of the English, we must be a student of the language that is its thesaurus. Words which before seemed merely necessary elements of speech are made to appear the very embodiment of great thoughts and of noble deeds. In the study of etymology, we discover a rich field of investigation. It is impossible to enter into the full meaning or beauty of such words as application, without going to its real source. And if we make a study of its history in the changes of meaning as civilization advances and is influenced by Christianity and by the experiences of life, we are fascinated with the moral phases of their meaning. The study of Latin inspires in us a taste for good literature. Through Caesar's vivid descriptions and his accounts of his wars, of his campaigns, and of his victories, we get better acquainted with his time, his people and. best of all. with his own wonderful skill as a leader. We grow to realize what it means to he a great general, one of Nature’s teachers, the vanquisher of his enemies. Virgil fosters a taste for beauties in poetry. In read- ing the Latin, we lose none of his desired effects, none of tin purity, simplicity and, sometimes, horror of his words, which we are sure to lose if we depend upon an English translation. In Cicero we get a contrast Ix weeen the oratory of his day and that of our time. We see the Koman love of flattery, consciousness of superiority and unwonted pride and arrogance. Cicero very naturally gives us more about their likes, dislikes, customs and manners than could he gained from any number of English historians. Four years spent in studying such literature naturally fosters a fondness for good, wholesome reading, which manifests itself in our choice of hooks, not only good for the development of the mind, hut also beneficial to iis in u spiritual way. As it is a college requirement, it is especially important for those expecting to enter our l est schools. It U the foundation of the chief living languages. Its roots are involved in medicine, iii chemistry, in psychology, in nearly all scientific studies. It is. therefore, very practical. In the critical study of the Latin sentence with reference to its construction, its idioms and its mannerisms, lies a great aid to brain-culture. It better prepares one to enter an educational field. It enlarges the views of thase who are attached to one suoject alone. It is worthy be put upon it. Florence Trotter. 44 DEPARTMENT OF LATIN. BOATING SONG. (Translated by S. L.) Yoho! My men!

Matters that do not bear directly upon the comforts or necessities of life arc regarded by many as not worthy of consideration. The question is continually l ciiig asked, “What is it good fort or “What practical application can be made of it?” Some there are. no doubt, who regard chemistry as a vague and abstract science and think of it only as something which has to do with a laboratory of ill smelling ga es. where one is confronted by a formidable array of bottles labeled with unintelligible names. If there are any such, let them consider for a moment how manifold are the applications of chemistry to-day and how vitally it 1ms to do with man’s welfare and comfort. Rut for the achievements of this science we might yet be living in the dark ages. Certain it is that the perfection of our modern civilization has been made possible only through chemical research of the past. Chemistry has not always been thus intimately connected with the practical affaire of life. The time was. in the early devolpment of the science, known as the age of alchemy, when the all-absorbing purpose of chemienl research was to discover the “philosopher’s stone” and th. DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY. “elixir of life.” The ''philosopher's atone” was thought to be a substance by which all the baser metals might be converted into gold and silver, while the ‘‘elixir of life” would restore health and youth to the diseased and ageu. Consequently, those who were engaged in these visionary pursuits, being desirous that none of their discoveries should become known, surrounded their investigations with mystery. Therefore, chemistry early came to be looked upon as an occult science. The ideas of the old alchemists have long since been abandoned, and from a narrow and mistaken conception the modern status of the science has been evolved. Like other sciences, chemistry has made wonderful progress during the nineteenth century and has rapidly and steadily come to have a more practical bearing until to-day there is scarcely an industry that is not dependent upon it. Probably the one individual who contributed more largely to this progress than any one else was Liebig, the most celebrated chemist of his time. He was not satisfied to allow chemistry to remain simply a laboratory science, but devoted his attention to seeing where practical application of it could he made. Consequently, his researches were directed along practical line , chief and most important among which were his investigations into the chemistry of agriculture, food stuffs, sanitation, etc. So important were his results in agricultural research that he practically revolutionized farming methods, and consequently' became known as “the father of agricultural chemistry.” Before Liebig’s time farming was nothing more than a robbing of the soil, and land would consequently become “worn out.” Liebig not only investigated the soil and the constituents necessary to plant life, but showed how these might be returned to the soil in the form of fertilizers, manures, etc. Thus farming to-day is being conducted along more scientific lines than formerly. The great importance which has been given the subject is evidenced by the numerous agricultural colleges found throughout the country. Now every state has one of these institutions, where local conditions, as well as agriculture in general, are given careful study. The government also maintains experiment stations and employs chemists who devote their entire attention to the forwarding of this practical and interesting research. Along this same line comes the subject of food stuffs, in the preparation of which Liebig also made extensive application of chemistry, his extract of beef, no douhl. being familiar to many. In the culinary' department of the household, too. chemistry plays an important part, although the housewife little realizes how many and complex are the reac tions taking place in her cookery. She simply knows that veast is necessary to make bread “rise.” and baking powder (in the ease of biscuits), or. in its stead, soda and sour milk. Now. there is an explanation and reason for this simple phenomenon, which, like a good many other everyday occurrences, we are very likely to regard as too trivial and commonplace for consideration. Chemistry' alone holds the key to the situation and so to this science we must turn for our explanation. We learn that the rising of bread, biscuit, eake. etc., is due to the generation of a gas. and that this gas is carbon dioxide, more popularly known as carbonic acid gas. The carbon dioxide, in attempting to escape, raises the dough. Now. this gas is always set free from soda when some sub- DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY. stance or re-agent is put with the soda to break it up. It is on this principle that baking powders work, ami it is lor this reason that sour milk has to be used with soda when it is employed in the place of baking powder. Bakin,, powders are simply mixtures of ordinary soda and some other substance which will break up the soda into carbon dioxide and other compounds. They ah contain some starch, which is simply added as a preservative. The higher priced grades of baking powder have for their liberating agent, as this substance might conveniently be called, cream of tartar, while the cheaper grades usually contain alum. Everybody is more or less familiar with the centro-versies which are being carried on from time to time between baking powder manufacturers and government and state authorities. The point of contention is usually alum, which is considered deleterious to health. Some state--have passed laws prohibiting its use in baking powders, while others are about to do so. These liberating agents, such as cream of tartar and alum, in addition to settiug free carbon ioxidc. which is the important thing, form other compounds, which remain in the dough and are re garded as uuhealthful. Now. it is obvious that if sonn liberating agent could be employed which would nvoio these objectionable compounds, it would be greatly to be desired. Interesting experiments have recently been conducted along this line by our own chemical department. Hydrochloric acid of the proper potency was tried as a libera ing agent and found to be entirely satisfactory, as far as the cooking was concerned, but on account of the form in which it comes would probably be objected to as inconvenient. This acid does not occur as a solid, but is used only in the form of a solution. 07 The chemical reaction involved shows carbon dioxide and common salt to be the only compounds formed. The salt, as every one knows, is not detrimental to health, but a necessary part of our diet. If. perchance, too strong a solution or too much of the acid were used, any excess that might remain in the dough would Ik- readily vaporized by the high temperature necessary in baking. So it is evident that, the possibility of a perfect baking powder may yet be realized. The matter of cooking, however, is only one of the many ways in which chemistry is intimately connected with the daily routine of the housewife. Interesting men tion could be made of the subject of bard and soft water ami how temporarily hard water may lie softened by the addition of ammonia or by the process of boiling. The composition of the different kinds of soap and their relations to bard and soft water could also be mentioned. Even the simple process of washing one’s bands has more chemistry connected with it than would at first be supposed. Thus many of the processes of the household have a new interest when viewed from the standpoint of the chemist. The manufacture of matches, eoal or illuminating gas. explosives, paints, paper and glass and the processes of tanning, bleaching, dyeing and photography can only be mentioned for want of space. All these industries, however, employ chemists who are continually endeavoring to discover new facts and so perfect the processes. Out of the theory and experiment of to-day will com ? the practical application of to-morrow. The science of chemistry is still in its infancy. Investigation and research are eoiitinualllv going 011. and who dares to prophesy what the result may be. R. W. Runnells. THE PHYSICS WORKSHOP. O sonic people the physics shop is a place of wonder. That, however, is not the case; it is merely a common machine shop on a small scale in a still smaller place. It is equipped with eight pieces of machinery. consisting of lathes, saws, both plain and scroll, a drill press, emery and buffer wheels. On the lathes all kinds of metal and wood turning, varying in size from a fly wheel for a twelve horse power steam engine down to a one gram weight, may be done. The power for running this machinery is furnished by a seven horse power electric «otor. The shop is equipped with several sets of hanc tools and a complete set of drills, reamers, dies and taps, with which bolts and nuts may be made. Some very creditable work has been done in the shops including all the apparatus used in both the laboratory and lecture room, that can be made there. The students who have done this work have profited by the experience in the practical handling of the machines. Will R. Bovard, ’03. DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY. BEMEFITS OF THE STUDY OF BIOLOGY. ll who have studied nature agree that she is rich in beaut and instruction. A careful study of biology opens the eyes to the many and beautiful things in nature which, but for such a study, would be passed unnoticed. It is coming to be recognized that a technical training along some line is of great advantage to a person in whatever occupation he may be engaged. To have some idea of system is the secret of success of many of our greatest men; to know how to go at a thing is of inestimable value to one whatever his task may be; an idea of system is obtained from an earnest study of biology, and thus one can not fail to be benefited by the technical training in this subject. Again, such a study develops the judgment. In a little advanced investigation, where staining ami other technical work is done, close thought is required to bring out results. Thus judgment is cultivated in the laboratories of natural science. It is also well for economic and hygienic reasons to know something of the lower inhabitants of this great world of ours. When such pests as the Hessian fly and the army worm attack our wheat and the San Jose scab destroys our fruit trees, a tremendous financial loss ;s sustained. The United States government, through a special department, expends immense sums of money in making a study of the various pests which yearly cost the farmers so much; scores of scientific experts are constantly engaged in experimenting along the lines of inoculation and extermination and in publishing bulletins and pamphlets upon these subjects. In order to be able to read these reports with intelligence and to draw from them the hints ami suggestions contained therein it is necessary that the people at large should know something of the subjects involved. Many varieties of insects subsist on decaying anima1 and vegetable matter, and were it not for these little scavengers it would be impossible for man to live upon the earth. In studying biology one becomes acquainted with some of the elementary principles of life, such as adaptation and specialization. Those who study physiology after having studied zoology or botany will see that the same great principles that apply to the lower animals apply also to man. Besides being extremely valuable to a person in everyday life, such a study is absolutely essential to one who hopes to go into higher scientific work or into the practice of medicine or surgery. Addine the practical advantages which may be gained bv a study of this subject, to the pleasure of the work in field and in laboratory, it may be fully realized that the time occupied in the study of biology is being well spent in the development of many of the faculties and in add-ing many interesting and useful facts to one’s fund of general knowledge. Prank H. Ellis. DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY. PSYCHOLOGY MS Ji PRMCT CML SUBJECT. hk idea seems to prevail that psychology is the least practical of ull the sciences, and that it is studied only for pleasure. It is true that it is a very fascinating subject, but that is only a small part of its value. It has as wide an application in everyday life as auy subject we study in school. It is difficult, without thinking about it, to realize to how great an extent this is true. One of the first things a child docs after it is born is to scream. This is a perfectly uatural testing of its lungs and vocal apparatus. It is also an experiment in practical psychology. The child learns very soon that that cry produces a peculiar mental effect on the people who hear it, causing them to give the child food and minister to its comfort in other ways. Later other experiments are made, and the conclusion arrived at that desired ends can be accomplished by other simple means, such as holding the breath and kicking vigorously. In after life more complicated methods of “working” people are devised. And “working” people is only an application of the law that certain stimuli produce mental states which tend to realize themselves in appropriate actions. In the business world, whenever two men meet, it is the desire of one to influence the other, and of the other to resist the influence. Other things being equal, a man who has had systematic training in psychology will have the advantage in this strugggle over the one who has no4.. Psychology i9 also of great assistance to us in training our minds. By teaching us the elements of memory. 100 it suggests to us the best ways of training the memory so that we can work in harmony with natural laws instead of against them. In the same way we learn the necessity of restraining the passions and the best ways of doing so. By studying our aesthetic emotions we learn to get the greatest possible pleasure out of life. In this way the study of all kinds of mental states naturally suggests a way of cultivating or discouraging them, whichever is desired. The most important thing pf all for a person to learn in order to achieve the highest success in life is to decide on one line of work and follow it up unswervingly. N'o real good can ever be accomplished by a person who flits from one business or study to another. The necessity for this concentration of purpose is sure to impress the student of psychology, who learns the reason for it. One of the most practical and necessary, and at the same time agreeable qualities one can possibly have is the power and the desire to understand and sympathize with the joys and sorrows of others. It is sympathy with each other's weaknesses that makes our lives endurable and even amiable, and this sympathy conies, to a great extent. from the ability to imagine one's self in the place of another. 'I he desirable emotion of sympathy can lie cultivated. when it is not natural, by systematically encouraging the imagination to dwell upon the feelings of others; and this cultivation of the imagination is a part of the work of psychology. Thus, from the highest of all motives. Ihe desire to be helpful to others, as well as from the selfish one of wanting to get the best out of life, we are urged to study psychology. Stella Sexton, ’03. DEPJtRTMEMT OF MUSIC. THE-LOST CHORD. (Printed at Request of .Mrs. Voorheea, Teacher of Music.) INSTON Conrad was walking swiftly down the darkened avenue leading from the cemetery. He was going away—perhaps never to return. The boat was to leave at ten. It was now about nine, and as a walk of ten minutes would bring him to the wharf, it was needless to hurry so. But he wished to be gone and to forget the cemetery and all that it held dear to him. Suddenly he paused and looked to see what had attracted his attention. Before him, beyond the gate and the artistically laid garden, in the Seymour parlor, iie saw a very attractive family circle. Mr. Seymour sat at the table reading. Mrs. Seymour lay on the couch with her eyes riveted on the young girl seated at the piano. Winston recognized her as the little Mexican whom Mrs. Seymour had brought back with her from one of her travels and whom she had afterward adopted. Who in Lawrence had not heard of Carmen, the little Mexican-the dark little girl—who from the time she had stepped into the drowsy little town had been the wonder and example for all her playmatesf She it was, the impulsive eight-year-old child, quick to anger, quicker to love and to obey, who sat at the piano letting her musical fingers glide carelessly over the keys. She was the idol of Mrs. Seymour’s heart, not because she was odd and peculiar, not because, in many respects, she was more lovable than the American child, but principally because she loved music. She was music. Her voice was music. Iler whole being thrilled with the vibrating chords of music in her. Winston stopped a moment. He saw the small, pale body swaying to the rhythm of the sound. He looked at the girl’s face and was surprised to see that it was not a beautiful one. Her hair was tumbled. Iler complexion was dark, though clear and smooth, ami her face was decidedly round. However, the mouth and eyes were both beautiful and in looking at them all defects were forgotten. Suddenly the smile left her lips. The light air changed to something soft, and slow and sad. Then, without warning, a rich, clear, strong voice began to sing “The Lost Chord.’ Was she homesick, tool Did she long for tlie old relations back in Spain and Mexico? Did she, too, want the dead parents? The words she sang were pronounced with an accent. Carmen had not yet mastered the English. It can hardly truthfully be said that she understood what she was singing. But the tune appealed to her. It expressed what she felt, and throwing back her head she sang her sentiments. Winston, without, gripped his sachcl more firmly and, after one short groan, strode on. At ten o’clock he stood on the deck of a small steam-ship and watched as THE LOST CHORD. he left Lawrence. The quiet, sleeping town would not miss him. He left nothing nor nobody behind, except— the cemetery. The lights sank lower and lower. The town fell into the distance. Broader and broader became the expanse of waters. The shores were no longer seen. So he left the deck and sought his berth—thinking of his mother and hearing the last words of “The Lost Chord ’ • • • • All was light and glitter. Handsome men and fair women were assembled in the opera house. Winston Conrad, the successful lawyer, was in the midst of a particularly well-dressed group. Many eyes and glasses were turned in his direction, for there were few present in the house who did not know that the crisis of the rivalry between him and Mr. Sullivan had been reached. Tomorrow the case would be decided and the laurels would be placed on the head of the victorious one. Meanwhile, Winston was turning these things over in his mind. Creighton had just told him that Herr Bok was waiting for him below. Ilerr Bok had a private grievance against Sullivan. What that grievance was Winston did not know. Enough to know that Bok hated Sullivan and that after the play he would meet Bok. Then together they would decide Sullivan’s fate. A look, not of triumph, but of fear, came over Winston’s face. He was not used to making such plans and he was a little frightened at himself. However, he must not lose his self-control. lie looked toward the stage. Some one was singing. A dark, though attractive, little woman was making the house ring with her voice. He listened. The tones charmed him. But just as he became deeply inter-ested, she stopped. She had finished her selection. However, the applause which followed was so unrelenting that she was forced once more to step to the foot-lights. Then, for the first time, Winston recognized her as Carmen. She threw back her head in the old manner and began: Soatod one day at the Organ, I was weary and 111 at ease. Winston leaned back in his chair and suppressed a deep sigh. His thoughts were carried back to Lawrence. He thought of his mother, of the cemetery—now so dark, so cold and so hare, lie was again taken back to the time when he had gone out into the world—twenty years before. He once more saw himself, a mere boy of eighteen, standing at the gate listening to a Mexican child sing. I know not what I was playing. Or what I was dreaming of then; But 1 struck one chord of music. Like the sound of a great Amen. Yes. she had struck his deepest sympathy. Those were days when he was not ashamed of aught he did. 11 is THE LOST CHORD. mother knew nil—but now—would he be willing for her toll quieted pain and sorrow. Like love overcoming strife. What was he thinking of doing? Like love overcoming strife! Oh, why had she sung that song? Was she reproaching him for meaning to win? It linked all perplexed meanings Into one perfect peace. lie saw the good Bishop—lie who had comforted and helped so many. It was lie who had helped aud taught him. It was tlie Bishop who had, the year before his mother's death, confirmed him. lie remembered his first impression of the communion service. lie heard the Bishop pronouncing the impressive prayer of consecration. “For in the night in which he was betrayed, He took bread, and when He bad given thunks, He brake it, aud gave it unto his disciples, saying, ‘Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ ” Oh, how long it hud boon since lie had taken the sacrament! Could he ever hope to be as good and as trust-worthy as lie was when he first heard these words? What would the Bishop say if he knew his intentions? No, he had unintentionally found that chord which he had not sought for twenty years. He had discovered the better part of his nature. He would turn from his old ways and walk in straighter paths. The fight between him and Sullivan would be a fair fight. Under cover of the applause which followed, Winston turned in his chair, motioned for Creighton to come nearer, and whispered in his ear, “If you see Bok, tell him that T don’t need him. We will have no further use for his services.” Flokknck Trotteb. 104 DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC. o ut query, “what a:e you gaining by the study of music?” which is often asked by our parents and friends, we who are studying music as presented to us in this school, can say we arc gaining in many ways, and particularly in the three most essential points—physical, intellectual and moral growth. From a physical viewpoint, we arc taught that the foundation of all good singing is correct breathing: but not only is this beneficial for the voice—it is invaluable to physical development. Deep breathing enlarges the chest, quickens the circulation, brings into action many muscles directly connected with the maintenance of health, greatly strengthens the lungs and insures the poise of the body in a correct position, for breathing is the best foundation for a dignified and graceful carriage. As an intellectual advantage the study of music sharpens the wit. heightens the perception, and develops the imaginative ami emotional side of our natures. It stimulates concentration of thought, trains the car and tests the eye. It has been said that “unless music appeals to the untrained listener through his emotions he has no conception of it.” Music is intangible and fleeting, and yet it is most certainly a lnnguage, not a definite one. perhaps, but a language of the emotions. Mere worth? cannot express the tempest of the human heart, nor tones portray tie definite ideas of the human mind. But music is a speech that appeals to the mind and the imagination as well as to the heart. The study of music in our schools is very valuable to the student who intends taking private instruction after leaving school, for in the class-room we have a thorough drill iti theory, sight-reading, ear-training, time, rhythm, breathing and tone-placing, so far as it can be carried on in class work. As we advance into our second year o? study we have all these things in more difficult form with the additions of musical history, harmony and the best class of chorus work in which particular attention is given to the enunciation, phrasing and general finish and style. If the house stands, the foundation must be a good one. •So it is in music. If we are to be worthy of the name musician, we must know the beginning thoroughly and be able to understand and speak intelligently of it as well as to execute it. As we advance we must learn to give of ourselves, for in just such a degree as we are great and true to ourselves, the best that is within can be given out through our art. Along with our study and practice must come a power of song so uplifting that its influence will be felt by all who hear. Good art should have as its object the promotion of a thorough musical understanding of pleasure and of morality. We know that art arises out of a certain instinct which impels man to express his emotions and thoughts 105 DEPJiRTME. in some objective form. When his emotions or thoughts are worthily directed toward great subjects, then his art dignity; when, in addition to being happily and wisely selected, the thing at which he aims is represented with skill, his art will have a pleasing effect; and when his general tendency is good, his art will be moral. 'Mien music becomes a mixed art—that is to say, when it is connected with words and associated with definite ideas; when it is made the accompaniment of scenes which in themselves may be used to work powerfully for good or evil upon the emotions—then it is easy to see’ how music w a moral or an immoral agent. ’Whether the song be patriotic, sentimental or comic, in each case the music used is not a primary agent to originate, but a powerful secondary agent to intensify the emotion already awakened by the words. Nellie Maggart. THREE KIMDS OF MUSICIANS. t is a well known fact that people who play musical instruments, or sing, are of three classes. To the first class belong those who earn their livelihood by music; to the second class belong those who affect being musical to gratify their vanity; to the third class belong those who are genuine lovers of music for its own sake. In the first class we find a great variety of people. John Philip Sousa, the celebrated band master, although rated as a talented musician, nevertheless belongs to this class because of the money he receives. Some professional singers and instrumental artists eommand large salaries for their services, while others find it hard to obtain a scant living. Xearlv all imis'cians have once been poor, save a very few like Mendelssohn: even he did not reject the profits NT OF MUSIC. 1 •sent to him by his publisher . Wagner generally received lroiu Colonel Maplesoti five thousand dollars in advance for one performance. At present we have three prominent composers. Pain, McDowell and Parker, teaching at Harvard, Columbia and Vale, receiving regular salaries. In such eases money is accepted usually as a vital necessity. Those who indulge in music for self-gratification, or vanity, are not so numerous as are the professionals; yet we find them everywhere. In this second class 'we place the young lady or gentleman who has no musical ability, but who has learned music just as a parrot learns to repeat oft-heard words. Later in life they learn, to their sorrow, that they are fitted neither for music nor for anything else. The true and real object of studying music is to cultivate the love of harmony. The sweet-toned song-birds think of nothing but the true nature .f music. So does the man or woman who loves music for its own sake. To this last class belong such celebrated and gifted musicians ns Chopin. Mozart, Wagner and Brahms. In studying music, everyone should cultivate a love of music for its own sake. Isabel Barton. ii m v sun. r :iHJ.)i JH(i xn ni :ivou miiow Art in Central High School is coining more ami more to have the appreciation it so much deserves. Never in the history of the department has the work of the large and interested classes attracted so favorable comment as during the past year. So great has been the progress made under the inspiring and untiring instruction of Mr. Weber ami Miss Crowder that the Board of Education has deemed it not only necessary, but essential to the perfecting of the Depart meat to give it the long needed room. If the artist would do his best, ample room and light must be provided. The same plan of work is earned out in the studying as in the large aeademies in Germany and France. Charcoal is the first thing that is taken up. In this one is taught to see “light and shade” and to he able to distinguish between them. Some very line work has been done w i t h charcoal. Next is the work in water colors in which “light and shade” is still the thing sought. Some most interesting studies have been built up for this kind of work. The student does not stop with ’ still-life” studies. however, but works from the “live-model.” In this, the human face and costumes of the people of different nationalities become familiar to them. Lastly, comes the more advanced work in oil. The studies in this are on a larger scale than thosi in watcr-eolore. Every hour forty to fifty students may be seen diligently applying pencil and brush; and many most successfully. ! A LULLABY. , •' Bye-Io, the Fairies are calling lliw. lUbyklns.

Under the inspiring direction of Mr. D;!-Ion beck the Elocution Classes have worked with zvjiI and interest. Why should there not be a great interest in the art of expressionf We employ it almost every waking moment of our. lives. e use it in the home, in society, in business Every time we enter into relationship with our we express ourselves in a manner which is either interesting and effective or otherwise, depending upon our knowledge and application of the principles of expression. We cannot utter a word without employing this art. and what we say is clothed either in beautiful an 1 fitting language which pleases and delights the hearer, or in inartistic, and unbecoming language which is displeasing and falls gratingly upon the ear. It is in the Elocution Class that we learn to express ourselves properly: to modulate our voices, and to put force and intelligence behind them. Here we are taught to appreciate the depth of thought of the greatest write is and to bring our minds to act in channels in which theirs have acted. Gradually we learn to apeak their words as if they originated in our own minds. And it is this for which the elocutionist strives. When the student enters the Elocution Class, he is trained first in voice culture and tin principles of gesture. By degrees he takes up short readings, memorizes them and receives individual critiesm with regard to platform deportment, gesture and directness of address. These lessons are interspersed with weekly programs given by the. pupils themselves. The second term is devoted to a critical study and analysis of Shakispeare’s - Julius Cower.M Tn the advanced class in Elocution, Shakespeare’s ‘’Macbeth anil King Rear are read. After studying the scenes lor interpretation, they are presented in characters. Much genuine enjoyment is to be had from the reading ami acting of these scenes, and all the life and enthusiasm which is put into it go to make such work verv profitable to the student. Besides the study of Shakespeare, the weekly program and individual criticism art continued. The pro-grains, however, take a broader field. In addition to the readings toasts, original orations and extemporaneous speeches are given. 1 he study of elocution also develops the entire characters of man. It produces a harmonious blending of the spiritual, intellectual and emotional qualities. It develops self-control, diminishes self-consciousness. and gives one the power to receive that spiritual influx which we call inspiration, thereby making only truly a divine artist. It is difficult to realize tin great influence and power the public elocutionist exerts over his auditors. No public man or woman is more potent for good than tin elocutionist. Ureat thoughts expressed in writing have a silent and powerful influence, but infinitely greater is the spoken word issuing from a soul which is taught to feel ami vibrate with every thought. This man holds his hearers as with the influence of a magic wand. His powerful and sublime thoughts go direct to the hearts of his hearers and make an impression which never fades from the memory. lie is the operator that plays upon their heart-strings, and causes them to vibrate in unison with the music of ii .s own soul. Marjorie M. Roberts. DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS. WHY STUDY MATHEMATICS? hat is the use. is a question common among pupils, especially in mathematics and particularly among girls. Though usually asked by one that is not doing well, yet it is worthy of consideration. The less a person knows about a thing the less competent he is to judge of its utility. Those who know least about a subject are those who inveigh most against it beginning a subject one can know but little of its utility. Such knowledge grows as the subject develops. In mathematics, especially, every branch, every topic leads logically to the one that follows. A mastery of the fundamental processes is necessary to a mastery of the more complex operations. To every statement there are two questions “How do I know il is so. and Of what use is it!” The former is based upon previous facts; the latter leads to greater knowledge. It is certain that one reasons only from what he knows. Other things being equal, he that knows most reasons best. One knows only what he remembers, ami uses only what he can recall. No subject calls for more accurate memory than mathematics. Not memory of processes, solutions or demonstrations. but memory of principles of conditions, of relations. Since mathematics is an exact science, mathematical memory must be an exact memory. But an education is obtained not so much by gaining facts, as by the effort put forth in gaining them. One may not need, in daily life, many of the bare facts learned at school. Bid he will always need the power acquired while mastering them. Power to think quickly, power to meet emergencies, power to originate, power to separate the essential fact from the non-essential, power to pursue faithfully. persistently, intelligently. Such power comes from effort, directed purposefully, continuously systematically. Nowhere better than in mathematics can such training be obtained. Though one may forget all the minutiae of arithmetic, the processes of algebra, the propositions of geometry ami tin formulas of trigonometry, he can never lose the power he gained by mastering them. A girl needs a well trained mind as well as a boy. She may pursue any vocation that he may. and reach as great eminence. Each should he aide to read a sentence thoughtfully. Mathematics trains one in the art of expressions, not figurative but exact. It docs not displace English nor even compete with it. It needs language for its proper expression, and. properly studied, perfects one in the use of language. Practically every declaration consists of a hypothesis aud a conclusion. Frequently the hypothesis is not expressed. If one. by studying mathematics, should master only the power to real, his time would be well spent. Mathematics is a constant search after truth. All truth is valuable in itself. Il may not 1m nece-sary for learning other truth. No good mathematician is a good gossip. The converse is usually true. There has been no great mathematician whose personal character was not beyond reproach. The luihit of searching for the truth teaches one to love the truth. Mathematics is then a great moral force, purifying and uplifting one who faithfully follows the study. Inattention ami carelessness are two of the greatest hindrances to success. The study of mathematics tends to overcome both faults. A little mistake becomes a great error, a little carelessness causes serious results. A little inattention causes loss of important conclusions. Finally one develops the habits of thoughtfulness, carefulness and attention; habits that last through life. DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS. COMETS’ TAILS. So closely is physical science related to mathematic that theoretical results of vast importance have often been deduced mathematically and verified afterwards ex perimentally. An example of this is the deduction made by Maxwell that light exerts pressure on any surface on which it falls, lie also showed how to calculate the value of this pressure. The pressure of sunlight on one square centimeter at the earth’s surface is a minute fraction of a gram. Six with seven ciphers before it represents this fraction decimally. Twenty years after the death of this great mathematical physicist the existence of this pressure was prove 1 by direct, experiment by two different scientists. One of these is a professor in McGill University, Canada. The existence of this pressure is made to account for the peculiar behavior of comets’ tails. The theory, embracing an explanation of many other puzzling facts in astronomy Iwsidcs, has been put forward by Svaut’ Arrhemius. a distinguished chemist and physicist of Sweden. One feature of comets not understood until quite recently is the position of their tails. These point almost directly away from the sun. Comets move in a curved path which makes a sharp turn near the sun. When approaching tin sun the tail reaches out in-hind the comet to an enormous distance. The comet of 1843 had a tail one hundred million miles long. After the comet has passed the point in its orbit nearest the sun, it travels along with its tail in front. Now the tail was known to be composed of very fine particles of matter. Why did not the force of gravitation draw them towards the sun! That some violent repulsive force having its source in the sun affected the tail, was evident. Was this repulsion electrical in its nature? These questions long remained unanswered. They can be answered now. The sunlight pushes the tail away. How the pressure of sunlight, which it requires such skill and care to detect can overcome the force of gravitation which is evident when one holds the lightest object in his hand, we will endeavor to make clear. Were the particles of matter in a comet's tail large instead of being very minute, as they really are, the sunlight could not do what it does. The pressure of sunlight depends for one thing on the area of the surface exposed to it. The force of gravitation depends for one thing on the mass of the body in question. Now the mass or weight is proportional to the volume. The force of gravitation then mav correctly he said to depend on the volume of a body and the pressure of sunlight on the area of its surface. Volume and surface area do not keep pace with each other. So the volume of a dust particle may be excessively minute compared to its surface. The variable relation between the surface and volume of a solid is illustrated very nicely in the case of a sphere. Morever the sphere has the least surface area compared to its volume, and vet the surface may be thousands of times the volume. It must not l . inferred however, that the particles are assumed to lx spherical. MECHANICAL MECHANICAL DRAWING. n that part of mechanical drawing, known as gears, are studied different toothed wheels, the bevel, the spur, the miter, etc. It is the purpose of this essay to design a perpendicular bevel gear, the larger of whose wheels has thirty teeth, and the smaller twenty. In planning such wheels we lay down two circumferences called the pitch circles. When the wheels are finished circles must cut the teeth at such a distance from the ends that the circles touch each other when the gears are working. The distance from centre to centre of two adjacent teeth is the pitch. Upon this distance is based the construction of the teeth. In this construction we first describe the two curves which form the face ami the flame of the tooth, that is. the part of the tooth above and the part of the tooth below the pitch circle. The first of these curves is.called the epicycloid and is the path of a point, in the circumference of an imaginary circle which rolls upon the outside circumference of the pitch circle. The ratio of the pitch circle to this imaginary circle is expressed by the formula ”P N over in which “1 is the pitch of the given circle. X the number of teeth, and “6” a number which is invariable in working out any gear. The curve which forms the flank of the tooth is called the hypocycloid. it is formed by rolling the imaginary circle upon the inside circumference of the pitch circle. The epicycloid and hypocycloid an connected to make the profile of the tooth. It has been found bv experiment that a gear tooth is strongest when three-tenths of the pitch is taken on the epicycloid and four-tenths on the hypocycloid. In designing any gear the lines of centres are the first to he drawn. In this case these lines, “ah” and “ed.” are perpendicular to each other and of indefinite length. The pitch-diameters £‘eo” and “xo” are two lines perpendicular DEPARTMENT. at the point “0,” where the pitch-circles meet. The figure, being a cross-section of the two wheels, does not show the pitch-circles. On this cross-sect ion are indicated the thickness of each gear “ij” and “kl,” the width of the axle space “mn” and “pg. and the length of the teeth “oy.” Next the plane teeth are shown as in upper left hand corner of the drawing. Following this the plan of the larger gear is drawn, ns in the lower left hand corner On this plan the teeth are laid out. the lines of their sides converging toward the centre, and the dimensions of the plan conforming to the dimensions of the cross-section. The smaller gear is drawn in mesh with the larger gear. Its teeth are projected down from the plane teeth upon the pitch diameter ‘eo” produced and the dimensions are projected from the cross-section. As the light always strik« s the paper at an angle of 45 degrees tQ the left, til' drawings are so shaded. Thus is completed the design of this bevel gear. The plan is now ready to he sent to the patternmaker. Harold L. Welsh, ’03. DEPARTMENT JIDVJiMTJIGES DERIVED FROM Jt STUDY OF PHYSIOLOGY. iik principal reason why students are required to study physiology and other branches, by some considered not practical, is, that they develop the mind. Students may never utilize all the lessons learned, but the effect remains. As defined, ‘‘Physiology is the science which treats of the functions of the organs of a healthy human body.” The “human form di-the grandest and most incomprehensible work of the Creator. It is a machine so perfect, that even when abused it will do hard work for years. Its action is automatic; it repairs itself, supplying wasted tissues and throwing off useless or dangerous matter. Consider, moreover, the mechanical inventions suggested by physiology. The cave-dweller maid discovered the hinge in her elbow, according to Dr. Ilillis, and utilized her discovery by swinging the first door, whereby her “young man” might not witness the mysteries of her toilet. The body supplies models for other things quite as important. For instance, the hip joint is the hall and socket, the head turning on the second cmncal vertabrn is the pivot, in the foot are examples of the three classes of levers and our great “sky-scrapers” are supported by hollow cylindrical columns, like the bones of our bodies, combining strength with lightness. Bicycle frames too, are like modified long bones, and telephone cables like nerves. OF PHYSIOLOGY. Although it is not generally understood, people would be happier if they had a better knowledge or their constitutions and would obey the laws of nature as learned from physiology. Man’s chief pursuit is hoppi-ness. Health is happiness. On bodily health depends mental health. “A sound mind in a soundv body ’ is as necessary to-day as it was centuries ngo. Not only mental strength, but also good morals depend on physical health. It is very hard to be good when we feel badly and everything looks blue. The hearty person with a good digestion. is not to he compared with the unfortunate victim of indigestion, predigested food, and dyspepsia tablets. If people knew more of physiology there Would not be so many dyspeptics. The general idea is that alcohol is a stimulant; if it were understood that it is a narcotic and if narcotic effects were also understood, there would not be so many victims. If we realized that oxygen is onr very life we would pay more attention to ventilation. If the importance of physical exereise were felt, atheletics would not he confined to a few students. If we knew the dangers which threaten our sense of sight, there would not be so many with spectacles, particularly among the young. If people studied physiology they would know these things. It frequently happens in an emergency, such as a case of drowning, bleeding to death, a serious burn, or poisoning, when a doctor cannot be found quickly that a partial knowledge even of physiology will save a life. Judith Conxki.lt. ’OG. MAN. As slu sees him. - WOMAN. Ah she looks to him. CAPITAL AMD LABOR. he groat question of Capital and Labor is. perhaps, reviving more attention from sociologists and economists than any other current topic, and rightly, too; for it is a problem which presses for solution. We can easily see the bad effects of the accumulation of capital. Take, for instance, a corporation which absorbs a great many of the larger packing companies. This corporation, which is popularly called a “trust, asks :i.l Other packing companies to join it in order that this one company may monopolize the beef supply and exact exorbitant prices from the public for a necessary food. If the packing companies join the “trust” all well and good; but if thev refuse to join the corporation immediately lowers the pri ...... beef so much that the pygmies fighting the giant are powerless and must either join the trust or go into bankruptcy. This “monarch” having once established itself proceeds at once to put the price of l eof where it chooses, and by the just laws of our most famous democracy, no one may gainsay it. 4 Having seen the evil resulting from the “trust, let us consider the Labor Union. I think that labor is more to blame for the strikes and other forms of contention be- DEPARTMENT OF LAW. tween the two classes than its opponent, because labor u often too headstrong to arbitrate and will listen to no conciliation. unless its point is yielded. The Labor Union including. I am sorry to say. a great number of skilled workmen, having taken an employer's men into its organization. approaches the employer through that pusillami-nous representative called the “walking delegate.’’ This l ompous individual whose type is characterized by loud clothes and the huge diamond which adorns his shirt-front, uses much the same method in making union labor prevail ttint is used by the trust in forcing weaker companies to join their corporation. I will explain the method of the union by an affair which took place in Kansas City a short time ago. If I remember aright the union wished the trains-fer companies to recognize their organization: but the transfer companies, seeing the trouble that might ensue from such a step, refused to grant their wish. The union at once declared a strike and no freight was handled in the city for a few days, except by United States Bonded transfer wagons. The drivers of the idle teams wearing badges and buttons, promenaded the streets crying‘‘Union labor forever, and it became necessary for policemen to ride with those who were sensible enough not to join the strikers, in order to keep them from being injured by this lawless mob of teamsters. The strike finally ended in n compromise by which the transfer companies agreed to allow their employes to join the Union and to pay them on the union scale of wages, reserving the privileges of hiring or discharging whom they pleased. It may lie seen from this example that the greatest objection to the Unions is that they will sometimes order their men to go on a strike for no other,reason than that the Union is not recognized or that some employer discharged one of their number without giving a good reason for letting him out. The course taken by the Unions in declaring strikes and interfering with a man’s business to the extent that he is unable to hire or discharge men without the probability of a strike, is only another way of saying “We want to run your business. A good workman who does his work conscientiously, instead of engaging in ibis tyrannical way of gaining a desired object, will, independent of any organization, show his employer that his services arc worth more than the salary that he is receiving at tit? time. There is a wide, deep chasm between capital and labor. The feeling on both sides is so strong that a crisis is inevitable. It may come in the form of a revolution, in the preliminary stage of which each side will think itself independent, yet see the near relation. In the second stage an epidemic of madness may sweep the country. No one can judge how harmful this stage may be; but in the third stage, that of reconstruction, we may he raised to a higher plane and may find ourselves under a more harmonious system than any that has ever before existed. Thus the crisis may have its benefits, but we shudder think of what may have to he passed through to bring about a desirable state of affairs. However, this is mere conjecture. No human being can tell what the outcome of the present conditions will be; but a crisis must come. DEPARTMENT OF LAW. THE LAW OF CONTRACTS. A contract is an agreement enforcible at law made between two or 11101 0 persons, based upon sufficient consideration and resulting in an obligation to do or not to do a certain thing.” The laws governing |ho making and enforcement of contracts are of the utmost importance in business relations as all business transactions involve contracts in some form. From the definition it is evident that the essentials of a contract are: Parties competent to contract: the con sent of the parties; subject matter, that which is contracted about; and consideration, the “quid pro quo” or that because of which” the contract is made. All persons not forbidden by law an competent to contract. Among those so prohibited are minors, idiots, habitual drunkards, alien enemies, insane persons and (in some states ) married women. .This statement must lx taken with the qualification that an incompetent person will be bound by a contract for the necessities of his station in life, though he cannot be compelled to pay an exorbitant price. Consent must be the free act of the party in order to binJ him, except in certain cases, as. for instance, where he has agreed to give title to land, and wishes to break his contract. In that instance, the court would compel him to sign a deed. Subject matter sufficiently explains itself Consideration may be cither goml or valuable, flood consideration is natural affection In-tween very near relatives. Valuable consideration is anything not contrary to law which might be an inducement to the party to whom it 's offered. Money, of course, as the standard of value, is the most common consideration. Examining the contract, we see that it was made by means of an agreement, consisting of an offer and acccp-tance. I lie fundamental principles of agreement, ns stated by the best authorities, are. that the offer and its acceptance must Ik communicated by words or actions; that the offer must In intended to create and cnpnhlc of creating legal relations: that the acceptance must lie absolute an I identical with the terms of the offer; that an unaccepted offer creates no rights on the part of the person or per-j-on to whom it is made, and may be revoked by the person making it at any time before acceptance: that acceptance turns an offer into a contract, and is irrevocable; that until the moment of acceptance an offer is revocable; ami. while an offer need not be made to an ascertained person. it must be accepted by an ascertained person befor a contract can arise. The first statement in the aeries is made because of the division into express and implied contracts. An express contract is one in which the parties expressly state their intention and the extent of their liability to each other, as in a deed, mortgage, or bill of lading. An implied contract is one in which the law. because of the acts of the parties, will imply whatever is necessary to complete a contract, where it is evident that a contract should exist, in justice to all concerned, and where one is accustomed tu exist. As in the case of a man buying flour oJ a grocer, though he simply orders the flour, saying nothing about payment, the law will imply an agreement to pay 11 reasonable price. Also, the grocer, by exhibiting the article in question, implies an offer to sell. If it were customary to give away flour, he could not enforce payment unless there were an express understanding that it should be purchased. Express and implied an subdi-visions of oral contracts. Written contracts may he either DEPARTMENT of law. under seal or without it. ruder seal they are called “specialties. Any contract not under seal is a parole contract. Specialties were formerly said to impart sufficient consideration because of their solemnity, though this doc-trim- is now much weakened by the present practice of taking presence or alisence of consideration at a test or validity. . . tt. , To return to the rules governing agreement, legal relations are those not forbidden by law. The � w will in no way recognize a contract for illegal purposes. Thus while a pnrtv to an illegal contract cannot, as a general rule. l� e compelled to fulfill his agreement, he cannot recover for anything he may have paid or done toward such completion. ... . , The last principle is lw st illustrated by a common example When a merchant advertises goods for sale, he does not know who will come to huv, but some person or persons must order the goods offered before a contract o sale can arise. . . A civil action may bo brought by the injured partv when a contract has been broken. The steps of the action an suit, judgment and execution. If the breach of contract was a failure to pay money, the payment of the sum with interest at the legal rate will satisfy a judgment. If one pnrtv fails to deliver goods according to contract, the injured party may recover the difference between he market price on the day agreed upon for delivery and the contract price, with interest; or. if lie has paid in advance, he mav collect the full market price with interest. If th ■ buver refuses to accept the goods the seller may sue for the purchase price, re-sell the goods ami sue for the difference between the selling price of the goods and the price agreed upon, or keep the goods and sue for the dif- ference between the price agreed upon and the market prici when the goods were to have been delivered. If a person is hired by another for a certain length of time and discharged before the expiration of the time through no fault of his own. he may recover the wages he would have received till the expiration of the time, it he cannot find employment elsewhere. Or. if Ins wages arc less in sonic new employment he may collect the difference. . ....... In a case where the parties have specified in the contract what damages shall Is assessed, the law will not enforce the pavmcnt unless the sums stated arc just to all parties The law of contracts is of such constant application in commercial affairs that it should he universally «zir tirnt� � lv understood. 120 THE TRACK TEAM. THE TRAC g g j.n k the candidates for the Track Team first as g Jty aembled for preliminary work the prospects for ,| good team were rather poor.

Getman and Greene, our last year’s men. an in fine form. With Page for the sprints and jumps. Cotton for the runs, and “Bum” Greene, the modem Hercules, for the weights, our future was never rosier.

On that B uate, once more, we con- test with Manual. It was a gn at pleasure to tin boys I«� hear that they wen again to meet our old rivals. There is no reason why we shoul not simply overwhelm them, ami the boys sav we will. The following Saturday the team goes to Lincoln. N’eb.. to compete in the Missouri Valley Interseholastic K TEAM. meet. It : our most important event, as schools from four states will Ik there. Never before has a Central team Ihvu given such a trip, and everybody is working hard to go. The boys expect to make the best showing of all teams Central ever placet! in the field. On May lb occurs the Tri-citv meet with St. Joseph and Topeka. Next to Manual. St. Joseph is our greatest rival, and heretofore has come out first in these games. This year we hope to reverse the situation. The place of the meet has not yet been decided. The Kansas City Athletic club, on Decoration Day. will hold a track and field event, open to all. If the conditions are such that amateurs may safely contest. Central will la represented. The boys will be in fine trim and should appear to good advantage. The candidates this spring have labored under more disadvantages than dny of their predecessors. First, they attempted to practice on the track at Fifteenth street an t the Pasco, but the ground was so rough, and bruises and. sere ankles so frequent, that it was abandoned. As Imposition park could la- obtained only every other day. practice was held at school on the odd days. It was a very inconvenient arrangement, but the best possible. It was purely through the kindness of the Kansas City Athletic club that we could use the park, as they have a lease on it. The boys have been greatly assisted by the coaches. Messrs. Gordon and Hamilton. Both wore famous colleg athletes and were able to assist our men greatly. They rendered their services willingly, and won the grateful appreciation of the contestants. This year another event was added to the list th � discus throw. Harry Minton, a Sophomore, has made a throw of over eighty foot. Greene, Dutton and Dorman have also made good progress in its use. Book Aschmann Darts Sanders Learms Cotton (Capt.) Mr. Hamilton Myers THE BASKET BALL TEAM. BASKET BALL. rnKRK was more interest in basket ball at Central this year than ever before . At every game supporters of our team were much in evidence. The boys were handicapped by the lack of a suitable practice grounds. Our gymnasium has too low a ceiling and too narrow a court, while the posts make running difficult and dangerous. In basket ball the home team has a decided advantage as they not only are familiar with the court, but are accustomed to the height and location of the baskets. At we could not use the “gym” in a regular game the opposing men always had this advantage. We had a great team this year, and easily defeated our only High School rivals. Westport. As there were no other teams of our class we were forced to play against men much older than our players. The V. M. C. A. Tigers claim the local championship, but it looked at one time as if Central would hold that honor. We met them three times. The first game with them was at the couuncncecment of the season, when our team was not yet thoroughly organized. We proved easy victims. The next time, upon their own court, we turned the table, and thus endangered their claim of superiorly. Hut in the final contest of the series. Asehmann. Central's star center, was ill. and we were beaten by a narrow margin. John Asehmann was easily Central's best player. There Is little doubt that he is one of the finest centers in tin west. Our rivals all admit that. There were but two games in which bis opponent scored more points than he did. Myers rarely misses u free throw, while Sanders is an adapt nt dodging bis man and scoring. The merit of the backs. Cotton and Heck, is indicated by the fact that Harry Cotton has twice been elected captain, and tha: Frank Beck is next year’s captain. The line-up was: Earl Sanders, forward; Harold Mvres, forward: John Asehmann. center: Harry Cotton (Capt.), back: Frank Beck. back. THE GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAM. Owing to tlu illness of Mr. Freytag. we received very little attention until the second term oI school. We started with twenty-four players and have now a squad of twelve, from which the team is chosen before each name. The members ot the squad arc: Genevieve Burns. Vera Phillips. Myrtle Poison. Edna McBride. Mabel Hennossy, Daisy Keelcy. Katherine Castel, Louise llendie. Mildred Bell. Henrietta Bowman. Ella Ilameii. Fay Thompson. Our first game, in which we lost with a score of 0 to $. was with the Kansas City. Kas.. High school team, on March 27th. in our gymnasium. Ne played a return game in a neutral court on April 16th and won with a score of 4 to 3. The line-up of ibis year’s team was as follows: Gene-vieve Burns, forward: Mabel Hennossy. forward: Vera Phillips, center; Myrtle Poison, center: Edna McBride, guard; Henrietta Bowman, guard. Substitutes Louis Hendie. Daisy Keelev and Katherine Cartel. The game is both interesting and healthful, and we hope more girls will take part in it next year. In the game between Manual ami Central the Central girls won. defeating their opponents by a score of 10 to 0. The game was played in the gym. and was witnessed by a large crowd. Playing was fast and at all stages the Central girls out played their opponents. Vera B. Phillips, '04. THE BASE BALL TEAM.

The base hall team hits a bright outlook before it. At the present writing they have overwhelmingly defeated Kansas ('itv, Kas., and Westport. Following the Manual contest there will Ik three more games in the ITome League. No out-of-town games have been definitely arranged. The men this spring have worked under a disadvantage. caused by the inability to secure any «� f the parks permanently. Through the kindness of the Kansas City Athletic club they have been enabled to use Kxpostion Park three days out of tin week. The remainder of the practicing has been done on vacant lots, or ’ anv other old place. ’ Including last year's substitutes there are six old men on the team. The three new players are doing excellent work. Kagan’s playing at short stop is particularly brilliant. In the two games already won the entire team showed up in great form. The batting of the nine is better than ever before. On account of the absence from school of A. Ayles-worth. who was elected captain, the men started in without an executive head. After the team was picked. Eart Sanders was given that position for the second time. In the Centra I-Kansas City. Kas., game, his pitching was remarkable. The team lost a fine player by the illness of Creswell Eaton. His work at first base during practice games was noticeably grasl. Five other promising men were compelled to quit work on account of their studies. The present team, though, has been doing very ban! practice, and they should without difficulty win the coveted cup this year. The scores of the two games already played were: Central. 28: Kansas City. Kas.. 4: Central 25. Westport. 11. The line-up is: Beck. 1st base; Aschmann, 2d base; Kagan, short stop: Cieslik 3d base: Wells, left field; Nelson, center field; Ilill. right field: Sanders (Cupt.) pitcher: I � wis, catcher. Substitutes—Morley. outfield; Mervine, pitcher: Cowen. catcher.

In the long run. against schools capable of producing strong teams. Central cannot hope to win over half her games, yet she has won more than that every year this year four out of seven. The games with Topeka were the most hotly contested. In the first. Topeka clearly outclassed Central In the second. Central played with valor and desperation. While defeated, the defeat carried all the merits of victory. The defeat that stung the worst was the one admin istered by Olathe. The game was lost on a safety, but .r was characterized by miserable individual and team play However. Central revived and played a game against the Topeka team that proved their mettle. Stanton played in the first two games, after which he retired and was succeeded as eaptain by Karl Wells, to whose energy and zeal is due much of the team's success. BALL. The team was not one of stars, but of team players. Yet a times the individual work of each was characterized by brilliancy. The line held firmly ami stood together as one man. The ends were tireless and were rarely circled. The quarter passed accurately and swiftly and the hacks oar-ried the ball for steady gains. To Messrs. Cordon ami Bonnifield. faculty coaches, great credit is due for the team’s fine showing. Patient in practice, but unsparing in criticism, hard working and never failing, they won and held the respect and confidence of the team. The manager. Mr. Painter, has arranged schedule for next year, including games with St. Joseph, Topeka. Des Moines and Lincoln, Neb. For the past two years no game lias occurred with Manual, owing to disagreement as to playing rules. It is hoped that arrangements may be completed whereby athletic relations between the two sehools may he fully resumed. The line-up was: J. Newby. K. Byrne, centers; F.

THE TUMBLING TEAM. iie foot ball season closes the last of November, amt from then to the middle of March, when the spring athletics are begun, the boys spend their time in the gymnasium. Two or three times t week, during the long winter months, they assemble for basket bull, appnratus work, tumbling and pyramid building. By constant practice an I effort, some of the boys reach a degree of ski!! very creditable to High School athletics. Tumbling is an art which requires skill, nerve and cool head. It consists of a variety of air-sets, snap-ups and falls, which, one learned, are never forgotten. By a little practice, a man will learn to fall in any position without injury. It is done by simply relaxing the body, and making no effort to break the force of the fall. It is not an infrequent occurrence for a tumbler, while at tempting some new trick, to receive, without harm, a fa‘d which would seriously injure a person unaccustomed to the exercise. Experienced tumblers are so used to being throw through the air. and alighting in different positions, that they rarely have a mishap. Their nerves are so steady anti their heads so cool that they know, every fraction of an instant, just where they are. and where they will Is next. At the same time they learn what is perilous to attempt, and how to ward off useless danger. Self possession and calm nerves are not useless faculties with which to encounter the world in after life. While pyramid building does not require so much dexterity as the other, it calls for a greater amount of strength. The best man for this kind of work is one with perfect control of his muscles. Brute strength alone will not do. The muscular power must be so divided and apportioned that each part of a massive framework of men has equal support, and equal strain. A very simple pyramid must Is practiced time and time again before perfection is reached. Apparatus work includes exercises on the horse, parallel bars and the horizontal bar. Practice on these develops the botlv much more evenly than dumb-bell or Indian-club work. When performing feats on the bars or the horse there is a constant exertion ami effort to keep the equilibrium, which affects muscles that the more mechanical boll and club drills do not bring into piny. There is also, in these, a slight element of danger, which tends to steady the nerves and train the muscles. Perfection in club swinging is gained only after much practice. Almost anyone can do a few simple turns, hut real skill is not for all. The juggling, especially, is difficult to acquire. The boys that have devoted their time to this branch of gymnasium work deserves great praise. They practiced long and faithfully for the part. Central has always shown her appreciation of the “gym. programs, by her enthusiastic applause. Mr Hamilton has carefully trained the boys and worked hard to make their exhibitions a success. The memlMTs are: Will Wadsworth. Prod Warrington. Harry Cotton. Frank Bannister. Hampton Robinson. Roy McCuhben. Thos. Greene. Irving Morley. Howard Shafer. Lewis Leavens. Hugh Pinkerton. Eugene Liddv. Louis Eisher. Richard Lewis. Arthur Caps. Earl Reed. Ward Gifford, Frank Geary. Leroy Wert. Harold Woodbury. THE ATHLETIC IKING til past year the Athletic Association lias prospered in every way. Many new members have been added and the boys have shown great interest in the various athletic events of the school year. In foot ball we won five out of the eight games played, Westport, Leavenworth and Olathe each being defeated once, and St. Joseph twice by the grim fighters of the Central eleven. In basket ball, however, we were not so fortunate, winning only three games out of seven. This was due to the superiority in age and weight of our opponents, not to their superiority in playing. But if there is anything to be desired in our foot ball and basket hall records, we may hope that this will be n� «re than supplied by our base ball and track teams. The prospects for these two organizations were never better. The boys have shown great interest in the work. They have trained faithfully, having in mind only one object — that of giving Central the best teams in base hall and track athletics that she ever had. and the indications are. at the time we write, that they will succeed nobly. In base ball the team has won the two games played. These games demonstrated to tin spectators that Central has never had a better aggregation of hard hitters and fast fielders. If the pennant is not won by them this year we can onlv that it never will be won by Central. ASSOCIATION. In regard to the track team, the future is also promising. Although few of last year’s team an left, the new material is showing up well, and we hope and expect that our boys will defeat Manual, win the tri-city meet, and be well among the leaders in the inter-scholastic nt Lincoln. At the last regular meeting of the Athletic Association new officers were elected. They are: Mr. Peters. President; Harry Cotton. Vice President; Virgil Sharp, Secretary, ami Karl Sanders. Treasurer. At meetings of the foot hall and basket hall teams, Will Searrit and Frank Peek were elected captains of next year’s teams. Two more honors have been conferred on two of our members. Mr. Painter was elected president of the Mis-M)iiri Valley Inter-scholastic Athletic Association, and Mr. Will Scarritt was elected secretary. flftfDCN CRTOK T lh«� junction of throe roach; in the western part of the state was situated one of the most thriving mining towns of that region. Its supremacy over the neighboring towns of Hampton and Cartorville was. perhaps, due to the fact that it was a terminal to three directions of travel. The community had really no claim on its right to be called a town, but its relation to some of the smaller settlements required n distinction. Not more than a score of small structures comprised the business portion of the village; among these the most prominent were a general store and postoffice, a church, a blacksmith shop, a tavern whose proprietor had the nerve to hang out a hotel sign, and the office of the justice of the peace. Of all the occupations in which its inhabitants wore employed the most prevalent were mining, farming and loafing, the last being attended by far more interest and enthusiasm than th other two combined. A representative squad of loafers could be found at the postrfficc. at anv time of the day. summer or winter, discussing every topic that was able to stand this operation. They had the past, present, and even the future of every character in the village mapped out. They could extimat ■ ti e wealth of nearly every ne of their neighbors, and. in fact, they knew more about some people than these persons knew about themselves. Foremost among the citizens of the village was one David Thomberry. who owned and operated one of the best mines in that region. His wealth was unestimnted, hut the village gossij s held that “he hail many a yaller brick laid aside for that daughter of liis’n.” Ills acres were bordered on the north by the property of Hiram Drake the next wealthiest man of the town. He farmed to a small extent, but his main resource was his saw-mill, the only one in that section of the country. His son had long been paying court to his neighbor’s daughter, but ns far ns any one knew, the subject of marriage had not yet been approached. On this point the argument about the postoffice would run high. One said he was bashful; another said he was waiting for a change of circumstances; in fact, there were as many opinions as debaters. One day in middle summer, a stranger came into town from the East, lie built a house on n vacant stretch of ground not far from the main part of the village, hired men to help him speculate, made friends with the townsmen, and in general gave everybody to think that he intended to stay. For a long time after his arrival THE RJiCE FOR Ji WIFE. thus our topie was under discussion around tlic postoffice. Well. Dick.” said one to another as they met in front of the store. “What do you think of our new neighbor!” “It ' too early to think yet. Jim,” replied the other. “Thus far I hain't heard nothing against him. tho he is startin’ out rather shiperish.” “It does look like he’s a little fast. was the reply. He’s puttin’ up a sight of a house for just one man, and. by the way lie’s fixin up that place he must have a brick or two himself. They tell me that he’s been to see Hose Thomberry twice already. I’ll tell you what. Dick, Sam Drake better watch those strings of his.” K very body seemed to like the stranger and he progressed very rapidly. His friendahip with Muss Thorn-berry became more intimate each day and rivalry between him and young Drake set in. As the friendship increased, so did the rivalry. A month passed by and the matter was constantly getting worse. Finally, it reached its highest pitch and each lover demanded her choice between them. Hut the girl knew not which she loved the best. So, one day in early fall, when the two happened to meet at her house, she was asked then and there to decide which she would marry. “Friends.” said she, “I love you both, but I do not know which I love the better. I am sorry such a question must be decided, but it must. Whichever way it is decided there must lie friendship between you. But I shall not decide. He whose love is the truer will win in the contest T shall propose. One of you will go to Hampton the other to Cartorville. each will mail a letter at the postoffice, and return. The one back first I shall marry. Ton may ride or walk. I impose no other condition. As the distances are the same it matters little where each should go. Sam you will go to Cartorville and James to Hampton. You will start early Thursday morning.” The gentlemen departed and although their way was the same for quite a distance, neither spoke, but both were thinking. When the news reached the postoffice, as all news did. it created not a little excitement. Favor seemed to bo on the side of Drake and yet no one was willing to wager on cither. James Burton had never been a man who let one sentiment overwhelm him, but it now seemed to him that lie was entangled in an affair which custom allowed him to go wild over. The actions of each man from the decision day to the time set for the contest were not at all honorable. In the determination to win, each would have resorted to foul means. Burton hoped to outdo his rival by sending to Hampton a horse so that he might have a fresh animal for the return. But he was disappointed later to see the best stallion in Drake’s stables ridden off in the direction of Cartorville. However, he soon took up again an air of confidence for he had planned with this in view. The day of the contest arrived and a small crowd gathered in front of the postoffice early in the morning. The start was without incident and each rider set off for his respective destination confident, as ever of winning. The small crowd soon dwindled to but a few persons, the rest, having gone home, for it was hardly possible that they would return before dark. The postoffice was situated square in the vertex of the angle formed by the roads to Hampton and Cartorville. The highways were rocky and hilly, but neither rider had an advantage in either respect. A stream crossed THE RACE FOR A WIFE. the Hampton road about a mile from the village. The river was down in a valley while the highway was some thirty feet above the bed of the stream. The road narrowed as it neared the bridge, and on either side there was a cliff at the bottom of which were heaped rocks and debris. At a distance of about a quarter of a mile from the postoffice both roads began a long gradual descent so that anyone coming from either direction could not be seen until he had passed within that distance. When Drake reached Cartorville a little before noon, he called for his horse ut the place where he had ordered it to be left. “Narry a horse of yours have I seen.” he was told. “Then where’s my man?” “Nor your man either, sir.” “Well, what in thunder.” he muttered perplexed: “But say man. have you a horse I could hire?” “Nope. But Tim Dolan, the blacksmith over yonder might have a nag he could rent, yer.” It took quite a time to barter for the use of the horse, change the saddle and then mail the letter, but in order to make up lost time the rider left the place at such n furious gallop that the blacksmith stood in the road and called out every expletive he knew; and when he lmd finished the list he repeated it as many times as he was able before the horseman was out of sight. Burton, however, changed horses and, having mailed his letter started hark without much delay. About the middle of the afternoon a crowd began to gather at the store to see the finish. All joined in a rambling discussion of every phase of the contest, until it was almost dusk, when the crowd was suddenly hushed by the appearance of a horseman on the Hampton road. Every gaze was directed first down the other road to see if Drake was iu sight and then at the oncoming horseman. From most of the crowd there came a murmur of dissatisfaction as they realized that their favorite would lose. The horseman came on and galloped into their midst. “Hey!” he cried. “What’s the excitement?” “Bill,” ejaculated one who recognized the voice of the postrider. “You’d a walked that quarter of a mile. Bill, if you could a seen our faces when you come in sight.” There’s a race between Sam Drake and Jim Burton and the winner’s to marry Rose Thomberry. I guess you may know. too. that most of this crowds for Sam.” “Well, yer do tell. So that's what caused that streak of greased lightning I met this side of Hampton is it. Well. I’m anothei that’s fer Sam.” The spirits of the crowd rose again. The postrider took his bags into the store and returned. “I guess yer come pretty near not gettin’ any mail tonight, .lake,” he said to one of the crowd. “How’s that?” “Just as I was nearin’ the bottom of thet hill, tother side of the birdge. Old r allv jumped in the air like there was a fence in front of her and come pretty near throwing yer Uncle Billy over the precipice. I don’t know what skeored her ’cause before T had time to think of anything but boldin’ on we was half way up the tother side.” He had barely finished when a cheer arose announcing the appearance of a horseman on the Cartorville road. The rider was coming at n furious pace and the tossing of hats only made him dig his spurs the deeper. On he came but when he was yet quite a distance away, his steed stumbled and fell from exhaustion. The rider was on his THE RACE FOR A WIFE. feet in an instant and running as fast as his stiff legs could carry him. When he was told that he had won, a smile lit up his face for an instant and sis suddenly passed away. All the way home he refused to talk to any of his companions. The main part of the crowd waited for the arrival of Burton. Hours passi-d ami still he did not come A party was formed to travel in the direction of Hampton to investigate. Just after they passed the bridge they learned the true cause for the delay. Burton’s horse was found lying in the road suffering from a broken leg. Farther on they came upon a rope stretched tight, across the road about two feet from the ground. Burton had l oen thrown over the cliff into the valley, ami there his body was found lifeless. No one ever doubted but that a trap had been set for the post rider by some one intent on capturing the mails. A twelvemonth passed and fall came again. One evening as night was coming on Sam Drake ami his wife were sitting on the porch of their home. Neither lind said anything for quite a time when the husband broke the silence: “Rose.” he said, “it’s just a year to the day that I ran the race that won you.” He paused a moment and then continued. “T’m going to tell you something now, for I can’t stand the remorse any longer. And after I’ve told von. you can either call me out for what I am. or von can forgive and boar the shame secretly with me. You'd hardly think that n man hnd the heart to do such a deed, hut I was desperate then.” He was getting more excited as he was talking and now he had grown quite white in his wretchedness. “Rose.” he muttered scarcely audible. I hired a man to tie that rope across the road.” A silence followed but finally she spoke and her tone of voice inspired new life into her husband. “It isn’t me that can forgive you, Sam. Y’ou must ask Him who only can forgive. I’ll do what you last named. Sam. I’ll hear it with you and pray for you. And anyway, now that I’ve had a year to think about it. 1 believe I’m happier the way it is. You know you can't always tell about them city chaps.” T1IK BND. W tdid VAJillie ff?at l?e of}o mmfyitt C.

There was no contrast afforded between the golden paddy field and the khaki uniforms of the men, and only the occasional glimmer of the sun upon the barrels of their rifles betokened life in that desolate place. The young lieutenant gazed steadily ahead of him and stumbled along unseeing. This was his first scouting expedition, and between the excitement of his first serious experience and the fear that attends the uninitiated, he was in a somewhat dazed condition. But the shots of the enemy roused him and quickened the pride that he felt in being given this detail. The troop marched on and finally found themselves in a thick underbrush where long stinging thorns trrew in the abundance that is known only to the Philippine . The bullets of the enemy sang around their ears and the bronzed skin of the young officer took on an ashy hue as he saw the man beside him fall. He was young and frightened, but he was an American. and when he caught sight of the slim, agile figure of a Filipino, through the brush, all the blood of his forefathers surged with renewed vigor thmugn his body and his soul was filled with true American patriotism, as he raised his gun and fired his first shot! His pulses grew steadier and he moved along stealthily with every sense alert. Suddenly he felt a sharp, stinging pain in his arm and looking down, saw the blood slowly trickling down his sleeve dyeing it an ugly purple. Just then his sergeant stepped to his side, and said: “Lieutenant, you’re shot!” “Yes.” gasped the young officer weakly. The sergeant grasped him and led him to one side. His first thought was of his mother, and then there crept over him the remorse of conscience that always comes when one is in imminent danger. He thought of all the mean things he had said and done from his infancy up to the present time. By this time he had been led to a place of comparative safety and he felt someone gently supporting him, while the sergeant knelt down and deftly ripped the sleeve open. The lieutenant gasped once or twice and closed his eyes, only to open them again to see that ugly purple stain on his sleeve. Very carefully the sergeant disclosed the wound; this was too much for the officer and he quickly turned his head that he might not see. Silence reigned for a second and then the lieutenant felt the man who supported him tremble and heard the sergeant say in a thick, choked voice: “Lieutenant, it's a thorn!” Edna Wilson.

ANGST A FF m r JULIA TAV NNIE. rllE was sitting alone under a big tree. On her lap lay a book. l,«M)king moodily over her glasses, she saw neither the little flower with which she was idly toying, nor the beautiful green vines at her feet. A pair of deep brown eyes shut all else from her view. He was xo dignified, and distant, and cold —to her. He had always been so. even when they were little children. In the very act of teasing the other girls “half crazy. he always said. “Yes. ma'am to her, and lifted his cap. Now. it was even worse. He treated the other girls to bright little compliments, witty personalities, which gained him a welcome in every group. With her, he never made conversation. If there was nothing to talk about, he kept quiet ami waited for her to find something. There was no name for his manner, hut indifference. Still, every now and then, she was led to hope that losing her good opinion would 1h? h matter of real importance to him. Yet. he was so distant that a wall of ice seemed always to separate them. iss Some one had told her that hi had complained of hei coldness. What a good chance ho pave her to be warmhearted and affectionate! With a vicious jerk, she uprooted the poor, unoffending little, flower. Suddenly, the moody expression gave place to a startled, then to an interested look; but. in a minute, the lovely face assumed the most correct drawing-room nonexpressiveness. bending just a little lower to look at the broken flower. Slowly tin non-committal look changed to wonder, surprise, breathless interest. Tin? violet eyes assumed a fixed, peculiar look. Now. they were sparkling with a softened light, and her quick. agitated breathing seemed the only disturber of Nature’s perfect calm; turning half-way round, she met a strong, eager handclasp, and raised her eloquent face to the passionate gaze of n pair of deep brown eyes. • .............................................. Resting contentedly on the grass at her feet, an hour later, he asked brightly: I)o you sjill hate your glasses as much as you used to?” She started, glancing, as he thought, almost guiltily at the glasses now lying in her lap. “No.” she said. Looking down at them, her imagination pictured again the reflection she had seen there an hour ago. a big. broad-shouldered fellow coming aimlessly up the path behind the big tree, poking into the grass with a stick. Shifting his head, lie glanced carelessly in her direction. suddenly took two or three quick nervous steps forward. then stopped. Slowly, noiselessly, he came on until ho was standing close behind her. Reflected in those dark eyes, she saw. mirrored in her glasses, all the passionate longing of her own heart. She saw, and turned. •“Can you see so much better with them? the deep voice broke in. She started again: and. still thinking of the reflection which she hail seen in their clear depths, answered, with a happy little smile: “Yes. I can see better with them, and a great deal better in them. .Julia Tavknnkr. PUZZLE PICTURE. Th ?y live on the S uth Side 10 Mocks arsrt—Who are they?
