The Board of Education realizing the need, purchased in 1867 the lot 24ox I32 feet on the southeast corner of Eleventh and Locust streets. At the time a two-story brick building of two rooms stood upon the lot. This was converted into a school and Mr. J. B. Bradley elected to take charge. For four years this building was used under the management of Mr. that the school facilities must be increased. For this purpose a lllllll umm, -A if the new demands, erected a three-story brick building, seventy-four feet square, on the south end of thelot. On each of the Hrst two floors were live class rooms with wide halls running the entire length. The third Hoor was one large auditorium with a seating capacity of five hundred. Before a year had passed the attend- ance grew to seven hundred, but for a while the school was made to serve their needs. In 1887 Mr. White resigned and gtdbd 1 ! Sim aff?

The frame building was removed and the brick structure enlarged by addi- tions to the south and east. The school had then nine rooms and it was at this time that Mr. E. C. White Hrst became principal. As the school grew and improved, interest was aroused in the people and a desire for better equipments naturally followed. The Board of Education, to meet CENTRAL emergency, voted one hundred thousand dollars for a new building. Work was immediately begun. In October, an addition of eight rooms on the west sides of the old building was completed. Part of the Assembly hall was divided up and made into three large class rooms. For other quarters several rooms of the Y. M. C. A. building were secured and here the pupils who could not be admitted into the school proper were accommo- 18684877 EVOLUTION OF CENTRAL-Cont'd dated. In December, 1893, the new high school, which stands on the north end of the lot, was finished. It is separated from the original structure by courts forty feet wide and is connected on each iloor by an enclosed passage. There are three stories and a basement. On the north front is a tower one hundred and forty feet in height and on the southwest corner there is an observa- tory used by the pupils in connection with the study of astronomy. The revolving cop- per dome is of suiiicient height to enable the observer to survey the horizon in all directions. The interior of the building was arranged with an eye to the including both the old and the new buildings, there are forty-three recitation rooms. In 1897 Mr. Buchanan left to take charge of a high school in New York City. Mr.AE. C. White was re-elected principal but in 'or he resigned and Mr. I. I. Cainmaclz, then vice-principal, was made principal and still has charge of the school. What the school is today, what these men with the as- sistance of an able corps of teachers have made it, we all know. It has been the purpose of the Central high school to give a broad and liberal preparation for life, but the education has been more for i i . i 1-j d' I in W is il s l il l y il utilization of all the IOOI11 pOSSi- A3 - , a growth 0f Character and in- ' fx ' 'r-Ngiilx . . ble.

In this auditorium more than seventeen hundred pupils can easily be seated. In the school, CENTRAL1875-1884 calling that may be chosen.

No particu lar division of its subject matter should be carried to an extreme, but the entire space should be proportioned among the different heads ac- cording to their relative importance in the history re- corded. Witll the appearance of this Volume the Work ofthe present Staff is ended. The editing of THE LUMINARY has been a pleasant duty, yet it has been Work. The experience vvhich many of the members of the Staff have received by an almost constant association with the business men of the city is a study in itself, Whose value in future situations cannot be estimated. It is the desire the Staff has succeeded in this purpose, it will consider its work not only ended, but complete. This has been an unusually successful and pleasant year for both teachers and pupils in the history of Central. In September the work was taken up with the earnestness and studiousness now becoming so characteristic of the members of the school. Even the Freshmen seemed less green and entered upon their high school life in an elderly and dignihed manner. The society work was continued with more than ordinary seriousness and the newly-elected LUMINARY EDITORIALS-Cont'd Staff began its work with enthusiasm. This quiet was disturbed only when the two oldest societies, the Pla- tonian Literary society and the Central Literary club, and later the third oldest, the Philomathean Literary society, disbanded. The entire school hopes that in the near future other societies will be formed which will be as great an aid in raising the literary standard of the school as the old societies were found to be. In athletics Central has kept up to her usual standard. On the football field she won victories and suiered de- feats, it is true, but these were all forgotten in the glorious victory over Manual, her rival. Baseball has been taken up again this year and the school is looking forward to the time when its representatives will win laurels in the Track Meet. More interest is added to the athletics by the meets to be held between the classes of tl1e school. For this purpose not only the Junior and 'Senior classes, but the Sophomore and Freshman as well, were organized recently and we hope that these meets will prove a rallying point for the class spirit, in which the school is so noticeably lacking. On the stage Central has been most admirably repre- sented. The annual Christmas play was once more a brilliant success, and an added pleasure was given by the new scenery used that evening for the first time. The Board of Education has at last renewed the privi- lege formerly accorded the literary societies of having a pay entertainment. This is to be in the form of a con- test in oratory and essay writing, and is designed to prove one of the most brilliant events in the school year. The highest interest has always been felt in the Hall programs given by the literary societies. This year the school looked forward with curiosity to the first, that of the Aristonian society, which, considering the very short time the girls had to prepare it, was a credit to the society. The second, given by the S. L. H.'s, was one of the most original that has ever been pre- sented on the Assembly Hall stage. It fulfilled entirely the traditions of the society which is now the oldest within the walls of Old Central. Two weeks later' took place the Webster's Hall program, clever and humor- ous from first to last. Later in the year the Glee club, under the management of Mr. Howard Hudson, ap- peared in a most enjoyable program. Not only in our own school but in outside nelds as well Central's students have won laurels. As usual, honors in the Chicago Declamation Contest were taken by Central, but more so than usual. This year not only did Mr. Hudson win first place, but our other repre- sentative, Miss Lulu Hayes, as well. Another annual event in the history of the school was the result of the competition carried on by the Sons of the Revolution. It is scarcely necessary to say that Mr. Cary Griffin won the gold medal and Miss Blanche Rosencrans the silver one. Last but not least of the school events come Class day and Commencement, which will round out the work of a class which has been a pride to the school and a source of great satisfaction to themselves. Hltllfttlmlim HISTORY 'Way back in the misty eighties, when even most of the Seniors were still below the level of the dining-room table, the first LUMINARY was published. It was a Christmas gift to the school, not a novelty in art, appearance or subject matter, yet re- markable, considering that it was the start and considering the conditions under which it was published. It consisted of twelve pages of cheap printing on cheaper paper and was without date or cover. The most important feature of this first edition was its name and this has come down to us, still meaning the brightest of shining lights. AThe iirst two volumes of THE LUMINARY were published by the members of the High School Debating society, afterwards the Central Literary club, and the paper was entirely under the con- trol of the Society, but, in 1887, the Platos, and a year later, the Philos were given a representation on the paper. Under the new management, THE LUMINARY II1ClZ with greater success. It was divided into departments, editorial, literary and local, and its list of advertisers increased. When the S. L. H. society was formed, it was also allowed a partnership in the interests of the paper. For many years THE LUMINARY was almost entirely the prod- uct of the twelve or thirteen editors and a few members ofthe so- cieties. Many means have been resorted to by the various manage- ments to lengthen the list of contributors and to make the book popular. Continued stories were published, prizes were offered for various kinds of writings and, one year, the entire paper was run in two colors. Still the proper amount of appreciation was lacking. Then, the price of THE LUlVIINARY was reduced to live cents a copy, sold on subscription. Even at this reduction some of the subscribers would not pay, so subscriptions were done away with. In 1899, the custom was started by the staff of making the last issue of the year an Annual or Year Book, its primary object being to faithfully represent school life and the work done at Central. This is the sixth volume of THE CENTRALIAN. The eighteenth volume of THE LUMINARY was edited under an entirely new regime. The paper was taken out of the hands of the societies and placed in charge of the school at large. Nomi- nations for positions on the Staff are made from those pupils having the highest scholarship in the school, and from these each pupil selects the twelve he thinks most suitable for the positions. The nineteenth volume of LUMINARY history we boast as the greatest, brightest and most profitable. Each month THE LUMINARY has been sent out to nearly a hundred exchanges, representing the most prominent institutions in the country. During the year, we have received favorable comment from nearly every one of these, Few of the big colleges and universities, whose fame is spread throughout the country, can boast pub- lications the equal of THE LUMINARY and THE CENTR.-xi,1AN, THE STAFF 'WAY BACK IN THE EIGHTIES WEE 5 KING I, WELSH BARNETT XVILES CO PLEY BARBER EATON CAMPBELL HALL TEASDALE L. WELSH BOWERS RGSE SKETCHES FROM THE EDITOPJS DIARY March 15.-Today has furnished conclusive proof that the editor has the biggest cinch on earth. I had a personal interview with three printers and two engravers. On the way back to the office I stopped at a laundry to get an ad, just for amusement. At the office I read and corrected about a dozen articles, wrote several pages of matter and made up a dummy for about forty pages. March 21.-The literary editors were especially good today. Out of a half dozen articles that I absolutely needed, I succeeded in getting one, which had to be rewritten. Vfhile I ought to have been eating lunch, I drew a whole page sketch and took it down to the engravers. March 26.-Fine prospects. The business manager tells me that I will have to cut the bills of last year half Z' f w mzZr L X X f if K X X71 . s 0 April 5.-I secured a dozen promises for stories. I note here that of the twelve, three finally responded, two being four days late. April 7.-I made a last attempt to get all the mem- bers of the Faculty to have their pictures taken. Not much success. It took two fellows a half hour to brush me up so I could go to the first hour class. April rr.-Some one passing through the oiiice, accidentally on purpose, walks off with my du1n1ny.,' That's nothing-it only takes three or four hours to make a duplicate.

At the same time, sev- eral students take the pains to inform me that even if every member of the Staff should drop dead, still there was no reason why I should not send to press the best ANNUAL ever published.

He must have the gabble of a book agent in soliciting advertisementsg he must out-rival the second-hand clothing merchant in order to suc- cessfully cul the printer to a lower contract, he must be an able ad writer and a general bureau of information. He must be able to recite glibly anything from the number of words to a page, set in any size type from agate to letterstthe size of building blocks, to the most desirable weight in 28X42 enamel book paper and its equivalents in sizes both larger and smaller. He must be able to 'travel from the high school to Fifth and Waliiut in five minutes and not get arrested for mal-treating the citizens. Thus, it appears, that a business manager of a school paper has, by no means, an artless task. Statistics would show that he spent a very large per cent of the glorious daylight gazing wistfully at the varied counte- nances of his advertisers and that the midnightoil burned long and late. When he enters the office of a business nrm he is at once the most important individual connected with the institution from which he hails. He learns the printing and engraving business and becomes acquainted with the methods of a modern business man. Incidentally, he must hear many lengthy stories of business success and is often compelled to stand, with bowed and patient head, listening to lengthy advice and criticism-all the result of his business relationship. At any rate, when he has seen six numbers of THE LUMINARY and THE CENTRALIAN go to press, he has undisputed credentials from the school of hard knocks.

GRADUATES X , THE POST:GRADUATES Perhaps some of you may remember that at the close of last year there was at Central a race of people known as Seniors, who had become so very inflated with their own importance that their overstrained craniums bid fair to burst under the pressure of the rapidly swelling gray matter within them. Indeed, it is rumored that some of the poor wretches actually suffered this awful fate and that now they are engaged in the stupendous task of collecting Ll, XL ' enough of their scattered brains to serve as ballast on their journey across txtb Q sf the necessity of preparing four lessons, can devote his time to a thorough and comprehensive study of his sub- jects.

Instead, the spring is ushering in the golden summer. And those ignorant may ask, Then why melancholy? Yea! they are indeed ignorant who ask that, for who, who around us has not felt sorrow creep into his heart and who has not shed a tear for the ones departing? Ah! It is sad but it is true. The class of 1904 sends its last message to you by me, its most un- worthy servant. But weep not, I pray you, for we do not leave you comfortless. We ciled. What is, is, and though it may seem hard to you that we should depart, we can only hope that time will heal the wound. And now, listen!

Although for a long time we have been rising steadily to the top of the ladder of learning, it is just lately that the school has been forced to acknowledge it. We have but one more year here and then we will grad- uate from Old Central,-not as the present Senior class will or preceding classes have, but we will go out leaving the pupils and teachers sorrowful and dejected. Our class has shown its usual good judgment in the selection of- class officers. We have chosen for our high and mighty 'J representatives boys and girls who have won honors for usg those who have raised the standard of the class, and those who will continue to uphold it.

When we became Sophomores we were, of course, a wee bit conceited-that being the one characteristic of all Sophomore classes-but never- theless, we gained the respect of all. Now the pupils look up to us, rather than look at us as their equal. Even the Seniors confess that we are the light and joy of the schoolg that the spirit of loyalty that we have brought to the school is beyond their power of imitation. Well, we must not be too hard on them, for we must remember that we, too, will be Seniors.

Wonder how such remarkable people as those who now compose the Sophomore class were once Freshmen! From the nrst, this brilliant class has been recognized as the great eighth wonder of the world. The societies opened their arms to us when we were Freshmen and the mighty Faculty opened their eyes in amazement at our brilliancy. So far did we surpass the brain-bursting CPD Seniors in the class rooms thatit was predicted by all that we would even graduate before they did, however, not wishing to embarrass them before the eyes of the school or to deprive them of their glory, we considered it best to run Old Central for two years to come and allow them to receive their diplomas. We are not only prominent in school life for our aptitude in studies, but are noted for our remarkably pretty girls. If any one cherishes any doubt on this subject, let him observe the humble piety with which the swell-headed juniors and stuck-up Seniors wait upon the dainty little maidens of naught six, and his shadow of doubt will instantly pass away. Perhaps you would like to hear a bit of our history. Well, when we were Freshmen we were young and unsophisticated, as are all Freshmen. Because We knew nothing of Parliamentary Law, we were not even allowed to have an election. We were green as green could be and instantly bit at those time-worn jokes of the nursery and those elevators. But stop! The Freshmen musn't think that we were worse than they are, for now we clearly realize that we were endowed with better developed minds than the present Freshmen. We have been able to accomplish much more than they can ever hope to attain. Even the teachers recognized our abilities and delighted in our company, as was shown by those daily invitations extended to. partake of a little intellectual consultation with them. As Sophomores, you have already heard of us. We added but one accomplishment. That was due to the girls, their looking glasses, and chamois skins. We sincerely detest bragging, but a certain amount of it is permissible when one has something to brag about, if you do not believe We deserve such praise, merely look at us and admire. Wait! If you dare to see the most brilliant class that ever graduated from Old Central, turn your eyes upon the dazzling Sophomore class-the good old class of naught six. RUFUS F. MONTGALL, Sophomore.

FRESHMEN- CLASS OF '07 We Freshmen are outrageously snubbed by the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, but it makes no difference to us. , It has been said that a Freshman was the biggest fool of all fools. Then, by simple deduction, we must conclude that over a third of Centralites lack ambition. When we first came to high school we had some difficulty in carrying our books up to room 39, but by hard work in the gym we developed sufficient muscle in our arms and legs to accomplish the journey with compara- tive ease. This year we had an election, mainly because athletics could not get along without our co-operation. Then, again, the achievements of such a marvelous class as ours could not be passed by without recognition. We hope to be Sophomores, juniors and Seniors within the next four years -or more-and then we will havean election that would make even the Sen- iors feel weary and sad. Some brilliant UD student took the trouble to say that the ward school was the place for us, but he is mistaken, for manyjust such bright-minded people cannot solve a problem of simple quadratic equations. Although we can hardly carry four books home or distinguish a water bucket from afire bucket, we can tell that there are harder problems in life than trig- onometry. Of course it was hard at first for us to find the right rooms and we must confess that one of our num- ber stayed in an English class two weeks before he found out that it was not physiology. This is no dis- grace, but shows great intelligence on his part in Ending it out at all. We had a few recruits in at Christmas time, and now we can boast that our class of '07 is the largest in the school. We must look up to the Seniors as a matter of cus- tom, not of duty, If it were duty, we would all balk. We know that we have three more years to go to school at dear Old Central and that thought alone gives us much Joy. We all are proud that we had some members on the second football team, and, as they did remarkably well for Freshmen, we hope to have some men on the baseball team. Our class is proud to be the possessor of a Red Cap Brigadel' of Freshman girls. These young ladies are the pride of the class of ,O7. They are more affectionate than their elder sisters, and show their fondness for each other by parading in large numbers through the halls with their arms lovingly en- twined. We sit quietly in Assembly Hall and enjoy the pro- grams as a matter of course. We are not so interested in each other as the Sophomores are, and therefore do not need the plan suggested by Mr. Buchanan. Our size is a great advantagein passing through the crowded hall and we find our way as easily as Toni Thumb could in a cornfield. EDWARD C-ILL. Freshman.

SOCIETIES Central was a nine-room building with a stove in every room when the High School Debating Society was organized. It was a mixed society, naturally having for its object the improvement of its members along numerous educational lines. It was this society that started THE: LUMINARY on its brilliant career and, unaided, made two years of its history. In 1886, several boys, thinking that literary work would be carried on to a greater advantage in an or- ganization composed entirely of boys, with- drew from the society and, together with some outsiders, formed the Platos. The Debating Society immediately changed its name to the l Central Literary Club. Q A Rivalry was the nrst result of the two so- X cieties and, since through its cultivation greater interest was centered in literary work, an annual contest was suggested and the cus- tom duly established. At nrst the contest consisted of three numbers-oration, decla- ination, and essay, but later the debate was added. About the same time, a society was formed entirely of girls which, after going under the names of Folly Floggersn and Daughters of Wisdom, became known as the Philomathean Literary Society. They applied for admission into the Plato-C. L. C. contest but were refused. The same year the open ses- sions were inaugurated which gave each society the opportunity of displaying its work in a formal evening entertainment. In ISQZ, Central gave birth to its fourth society, the Society of Literature and History. Soon after this the new building was completed and' each society was given a room, adjoining the Assembly Hall, for its exclusive use. These rooms the societies furnished and carpeted to their own tastes and ceased to wander from room to room to find a place to meet. A few years later the school became crowded and the rooms were used for recitations. The same year the Board of Education, being advised that the open sessions caused 5. too much excitement and disturbance in the A 9 school, abolished them and substituted the '5 popular Hall Program in their stead. Num- S erous attempts were made to recover the lost 'cd privilege, but all were unsuccessful. The year 1899 bore another calamity. The Fac- ulty demanded that the Plato-C. L. C. contest ff A be opened to the other societies. To this proposition the Platos and C. L. Cfs voted a Hat refusal, so the contests were discon- , tinued. ' M In IQOI, the Central Webster Club was Z ,formed and a year later the Aristonian Society. At the beginning of school in IQO3, a mem- ber of the Faculty was placed in each society to act as adviser. A little later a charter was introduced into each society which set forth new principles and fixed a definite standard of membership. The C. L. C.'s and the Platos thinking the charter ob- jectionable, immediately disbanded. The other societies stood firm at the outset, but three months later the Philos adjourned forever. The remaining three organ- izations are still among the living, firm in government and still making history for Central. 2 ? ...Nu Q W EXW Vg f f 6 5 r V VI . xx 4 N ix I- -4 -23 iff' N l J J N f I 'A , x .

It seems but just to tell them of the ancient and important body that holds forth in that room. About twelve years ago, there was formed in Central a society that was des- tined to rise to the highest rank. Its pur- pose-to promote the study of literature and history in their most attractive forms, as well as to enjoy some social advantages- was a creditable one, and aided in drawing strong members to the society. At first the small band of people worked against many obstacles, but with a persistence strength- ened by adversity, they grew until their adversaries began to admire and even to fear their strength. The best members of the school were ff drawn into the society, and in the contests, which were open to all, the members of the Society of Literature and History were always among the highest. Two former members, now on the Faculty, were always at the head of the school in mathematics and science. Coming to more recent days, the S. L. H. has been represented in every department of the school. On THE LUMINARY Staff, in the contest at Chicago. at class elections, on the Christmas Play cast, in athletics, in the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, and in fact every place where the talent of the school has been displayed, the members ofthe S. L. H. have held prominent places. iliios-.. .... L. Thus the society grew, excelling in its Hall Programs and increasing in membership, until the dawning of this, the twelfth year-the most strenuous one in its history. For then it was that the new charter ap- peared which was to work such changes in the societies in general. New regulations appeared which completely upset some of the old ones, and when the S. L. H. saw its . brother and sister societies pass out of ex- istence, it was not without some little hesi- tation that a majority of the members de- cided to go on and keep up the old standard. Even this little setback meant more hard work, as there was now the opposition of the societies that had left the iield to contend againstgbut indomitable courage must con- quer in the end, and so the S. L. H. is still alive and very much in evidence. We have the advantage over our sister and brother societies in age and in the fact that while one has the grace and effort of the 1 girls to sustain it, and the other the X - strength and energy of the boys, we have X both combined to make one splendid power. ,Z The Society of Literature and History has a glorious record behind it and a grand future ahead ofit. a It will grow like the renowned bean pole in the fairy tale, far beyond the rest of its kind, and ma.ke the purple and white re- spected both in and out of school as it always has been. Above all it will live up to its purpose to make stronger men and women of the people who graduate from its ranks. The new pupils who will enter the school in coming years will join in shouting the Rip-Ray-Rah to the glory of the S. L. H., the oldest society in Central. MARGERY CoLLrs'rER, Senior.

Our society has for two years been represented zon a new constellation in the society universe. Other on THE LUMINARY Staff, and our members are taking effect for years, yet this one actually appeared with the startling name Aristonzmz, the best.

TheAristonian Society as we have said is among the youngest of the school organizations. Yet since its birth in 1900, it has had a steady growth, and is now established on a firm basis. Each high school organi- zation has, or ought to have, some central idea which distinguishes it from the others.

It has now triumphed over dilliculties, and occupies a position of the highest rank, after planting its banner ahead and above those of any of its contemporaries. Its long list of victories makes this claim indis- putable. V This year the club has been excep- tionally well represented on both the football and basketball teams, where its members have done splendid work. In the Xmas Play cast two of the members took leading parts, ac- quitting themselves most creditably. One of our athletes was elected vice- of this club. The great confidence the school has in this society was demonstrated when the Junior class gave its two most honored oilices to Webster men. The club is well represented on the Glee Club, Track Team, and in all other branches of the school, and sent her full quota of valiant warriors to battle for Cen- tral's honor on the diamond. Our past history is too well known to need mention. It is only necessary to recall such names as Fender and Cotton-names that in the history of Central are immortal-and to add that we have a longer and more distin- guished list of our Alma Mater than any other society that has ever exist- . ed in the school. It is our fondest trust that in future - years when we together with our honored predecessors come back to visit the scenes of the defeats and ' victories, the disappointments and . lt till, ---' 7 'i If if lf. l Z president of the Athletic Associa- E tion, while another member holds an important position on THE LUMINARY Staff and thus in many-sided abilities we emulate the great and versatile Webster.

HOLMES Manager Tennis Team GIRLS' At the beginning of the year it was decided to have regular monthly meet- ings ofthe Girls' Athletic Association, but for several reasons it was never carried out. Thus, altogether, the season of IQO3-4 was not very successful, for the girls of the school as a rule do not take much interest in girls' athletics. It is especially unfortunate that thegirls who are going to college do not take more interest in the work. At the girls' colleges, athletics of all kinds are considered very important, es- pecially basketball, and, if girls do not take up the work here, they will miss a great deal of pleasure when they go away to school. Thus far, basketball is the only athletic enterprise that the association has promoted. At the date of writ- ing no very important games have been played, but Central won in the majority of the practice games played with Kansas City, Kansas. Before the season is over, match games may be arranged with Westport, Manual and Miss Barstow's School.

It is hoped that by next year a new gymnasium will be obtained, which will be large enough to accommodate spectators. Then the work will pro- gress much faster. It is expected thatagirls'tennis tournament will be held with Manual at the same time as that of the boys. Tennis is almost as much a girl'ssport as a boy's, and, although it is comparatively new here as a high school enterprise, we hope that it will be taken up as strongly as basketball. It is healthful, sufficiently exciting, and not so dangerous as some sports, and ought to be strongly supported. Indeed, all kinds of girls' athletics were as unknown as far west as Mis- souri a few years ago as the higher education of women was unknown in the seventeenth century. Of course, the large female colleges of the East took up the idea much sooner, but it has still much room for de- velopment. Upto the present time, the only species of athletics followed by the girls of the West is basketball, while in the East they even try the lighter events in track athletics.

BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The season of 1903-4 was in many respects a good one for the Athletic Association, although in a few ways athletics did not prosper. Many new members were added to the association, and the season was a hnancial success. Although we lost heavily by the Lincoln football game, it was more than made up by the gains in the game with Manual, and no ex- pense was incurred in basketball. In respect to points, we won and lost about the same number in foot- ball, although we fell behind in bas- ketball, losing the three games which ' were played with teams outside of the school. We fully expect, however, that the track team and the basket- ball team will win enough points to make up for that. more interest in athletics and the Ath- esting and healthful game, it is hoped many will take it up. The merit of our athletics has also obtained recogni- tion, largely through the efforts of Mr. Bainter, in all the states of the Middle West. The school is indebted to Mr. Gordon and Mr. Hamilton for the training of the track team, the football team, and the .basketball teams. Mr. Bonniheld had charge of the baseball squad, while Mr. Graves acted as manager and ar- ranged the schedule. Central is in- deed fortunate in having these men in the faculty. VVithout them we would be at loss for someone to train and man- age the various athletic enterprises. gf! .Ag - 1:4-:' qv, N f 7 -f , M The lield of usefulness of the Ath- letic Association is very wide, and its X , nj: I X it - 'Q' X Q ' X, The school at large, too, showed , ,-l- W - -f work is far-reaching in its effects. lt letic Association than ever before. At the football game with Manual, nearly one thousand people turned out from Central. But in basketball, we are sorry to say, the pupils do not show very great interest. This year, too, a new sport was added to the list-tennis. This is a very inter- keeps alive the interest of the school in athletics,and plays the principal part in promoting athletics of all kinds. It acts as a treasurer for the athletic enterests of the school, and asa general representative of them, So that, after all, it was through the Athletic Association that Central came to her present high place in athletics.

Both those teams won more games than this year's, but the schedule of 1903 was the hardest Central has ever attempted. A game was arranged for every week during the entire season, and the teams played were the strongest high school teams in the Missouri valley. by St. Ioseph, November 14. It was occasioned not so much by the superior playing of our optg- ff gilt-'2m.7 XQ44 , while Mr. Bainter acted as manager and arranged the schedule, which was an exceptionally fine one, giving the team an opportunity of winning the championship of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. This sched- ule was changed twice during the season-once because the grounds were in such poor condition that we were unable to play Topeka on the appointed date, and once because we found that the Des Moines high school team had a negro on it. The place of the latter game was filled by a game with a team formed -IL fc . fifths-pf of Central Alumni. It was a very interesting I .1 E game, in which the regulars won easily. All during the season good team work was f shown, while Scarritt, the captain, was the star l W among the individuals. The team this year was at a disadvantage, too, because it was composed largely of new players, few of last year's men coming back.

Only three games were played with teams outside the school, and we were defeated in all of them. This, however, was expected, and the team did as well as the manager had hoped. A series of three games was played early in the season with the Sharks, a team formed from the boys in the first hour gym- nasium class. The Sharks won two of them, and the team was reorganized, some of the Sharks being taken into it. In the game with Westport, played February 20, at Con's Hall, Westport, the Central team was defeated with a score of 23 to 13.

The last game of the season ended very badly for Central, for we were defeated by Liberty, Missouri, with a score of 42 to 8. A team was formed about this time from the fifth hour gymnasium class, They called themselves the Lions. They played a game during March with the Y. M. C. A. basketball team, but were defeated with a score of 16 to 5. Three members of the Y. M. C. A. team are from Central, the other two from Manual and Kansas City, Kansas. A team formed from the second hour gymnasium class also played the Y. M. C. A. team, but were defeated with a score of 16 to 6.

Ar- rangements were made to practice on Wednesdays and Fridays of each week, preparatory to the choice of the teams which were to carry the blue and the white to victory. After three months of faithful practice under the efficient coaching of Mr. Ham- ilton, the two teams were chosen. The members of the iirst team were Ivah Ellis, Edna McBride, Vera Phillips, Louise Hendee, Lavenia Mathis, jose- phine Thurmond, Hanna Fitzgerald Helen Robinson and Bessie Addison captain. Mr. Hamilton was chosen manager of the team. The captain of the second team was Miss Fay Thomp- son. V The teachers have also manifested interest in basketball and have honored the first team by playing several practice games with them. These games were very interesting, though decidedly in favor of the Hrst team. So far this season but seven games have been played, these being with 5 GIRLS' BASKETBALL .X 7 ,Q Z 0 .an S,E!NffX,5r1 Kansas City, Kansas. Although the Central team was much overmatched in size, the score stood C. H. S., 56, K. C., K., H. S., 43. The line-up in most of these games was: forwards, Vera Phillips, Bessie Addison, centers, Ivah Ellis, Helen Robinson, guards, Edna McBride, Louise Hendee. Arrange- ments are being made for other games, two being scheduled with Manual. Challenges have been received from Lawrence and Topeka, Kas., and Lin- coln, Neb . Whether the team has accomplished much or little, its faithful practice will surely tellfor the good of next year's team. Should this be the case, the team of '04 will feel amply repaid for its work. If the new gymnasium material- izes, and it is to be hoped it will, it can- not fail to arouse enthusiasm in the Cen- tral students, and to build up interest in athletics. Thereby it will create an atmosphere conducive to good comrade- ship and school spirit. When this mil- lenium is reached, there should be no reason for Central not having the best girls, basketball team, one whose motto would be, Noli est Secundif' Bnssm ADDrsoN, Senior.

The team was unfortunate in not getting any of the parks to practice in, but they found a very good place in the southern part of the city, where the practice was carried on quite well. Most of the very responsible positions, including those of pitcher, catcher, shortstop and third base, are held by old men. Mervine or Sanders will pitch, Lewis or Hale will catch. Sanders did especially good work last year, as did Ragan, who will hold the position of shortstop. In the High School League, in which Central is ably repre- sented by Mr. Graves, a very good schedule has been arranged. Each team, Manual, Central, Westport and Kansas City, Kas., Last year's team started out with no better prospects than those for this year and yet vvon the pennant, and we see no reason why the team of r9o4 should not do the same. This year we have more experienced men, more promising new material, and the same trainer, Mr. Bonnifield, so that, unless the opposing teams are exceptionally strong, Central should come out ahead.

TENNIS CLUB COPELAND HOLMES ELLIS SCARRITT EATON SEBREE SCOTT TENNIS When Central won the interscholastic field meet, the baseball championship and everything in the literary line, she did not take time to weep because there were no other prizes to capture, but instead through her able representative, Mr. Holmes, she introduced tennis into the school. This gave participants 'in that sport the power to add one more gem to their already brilliant crown. Central will be represented. This tournament will dif- fer from that of last fall in that the Athletic Association will be promoting it. This fact indicates more than any- thing else that tennis is the coming high school sport.

LEWIS History and Political Economy - THE SOUTHERN WOMEN OF THE 60'S I do not wish to speak of the Southern women of the Civil war whose names are in history. Those were the wives of the brave leaders of the Confederacy. They naturally became known from the prominence of their husbands, and thus brought to notice, their own virtues caused them to remain in view. Iustly so, for they were true women, encouraging their husbands, sympathizing with them, standing by them, through victory and defeat. However, it is the wife, the daughter, the sweetheart, of the private soldier, whose womanliness I wish to record. Their names are not known by the world at large, but their memory is still fresh in the hearts of those they helped and sustained, and in many homes their living presence is still a benediction. As we listen to our old grandmother, silver-haired and dressed in black, who was among those brave women of 1860, a fragrance of lavender and heliotrope seems to breathearound us, and, shutting our eyes, we see her as she was just forty-four years ago. Sweet and slender and smiling, she stands in the spring sunshine with the old-fashioned garden around her. With her aristocratic little face, her brown hair demurely parted in the middle, her slender white hands and her airy, billowy dress, we think her a fragile little thing, unused to hardships, nur- tured in the lap of ease. It is true. She has nothing to do but be happy, and she is happy. She is a bride of three summers and all is joy, peace and love in that house- hold. Then the war comes with all its tragedy of blood. Father, brothers and husband must fight for their rights, and before God, they believe their cause right. They had reasons, strong reasons, to believe it, but God, to aid all mankind could not help the few, and so they failed. In such a time were those frail, sweet, loving women found wanting? No, but what a change had passed over them! Before the war they loved and were happy-now they loved, but worked and suffered. You can speak of the bravery of men when they rush to battle in the face of death. Ah! 'What is that to the bravery of the young wife who stands at the door of her dear home and smiles as her husband goes off to fight-and perhaps to die? It is much harder to stay at home and wait, than to be in the thick of the fray. VVho can reckon the agony of the dark hours of the night as these wives and mothers pour out their hearts to God in supplication? XV ho can realize the' feverish anxiety of the daytime as they wait and wait for news from the battlefied? No one can who has not passed through it. However, while these women suffered, they were not idle. Those slender, white hands, unused to work, must work now. They cooked, cleaned, scrubbed, washed and ironed-in fact, they did the work that all their slaves had been accustomed to do. Besides this, they sewed, not only for themselves, but for the dear ones so far away, and for many other brave soldiers. They opened their homes to the wounded and nursed them back to health. It is won- derful how their slender bodies, unaccustomed to hard- ship, could stand under the weight of so much work, but they seemed untiring. Not only did they have to cndurc work. That alone would have been easy, but they had to TI-IE SOUTHERN WOMEN OF THE 6O'S-Cont'd stand passive and see their lands ravaged and made deso- late. Wfhile the Federals plundered and desecrated their homes, they stood at the door, fearless and silent. They never forgot they were ladies,-ladies of the Southland, and often the most reckless and forward soldier, awed by their calm dignity, removed his hat in their presence and became quiet. So the years wear on until the war is ended. Some are left widows, some childless, many fatherless, but they are patient, brave and true through all these afflictions. The girl who stood that morning in the sunshine of the garden is not so young and girlish-looking now, but her face is even sweeter from having suffered and become resigned, and she receives her husband, maimed and crippled though he is, with the same brave smile. As the thought of her has strengthened him in his absence, how much more does her loving presence help him in his ad- versity. Slowly, by much work and love, from the ashes of their ruined home a second home rises. The hearth is at last cheerful and bright for their children. Oh, ye sons of these noble women, bare your heads in silence before them, and let the incense of your rever- ence and love hallow their memory forever! IEANNE WELSH, Senior. THE LAW OF NEGOTIATION The law of negotiation grew out of the common law of England. The historical source of the negotiability of both bills of exchange and promissory notes is the cus- tom of merchants, which in time was recognized by the courts and by parliament. This recognition was set on a firm basis by the Statutes of Anne in 1705, which de- clared them a substitute for money. Bills of exchange are the most ancient of all paper currency, having been used by Barbarossa in II89. A note to be negotiable, must contain some set of words which will convey the intention of negotiability. The words most used are Pay to the bearer, or WTO the order of, although any other words from which it can be inferred that the person making it intended it to be negotiable, will serve the purpose. The great purpose of negotiable paper is to take the place of money as a commercial medium. The three kinds now most used are bills of exchange, promissory notes, and checks. Under the development of the courts of England and America, the paper money laws have worked to the protection of the bona fide holder, and cer- tain qualities must be inherent in the currency to make it legal. The most important of these essentials are: The note or bill must contain a promise or an order, the prom- ise or order must be unconditional 3 it must be an absolute promise or order for the payment of money alone, the amount of money must be certain, the time of payment must be a time certain to occur: the instrument must be specific as to all its parties, and the instrument must be cle- livered. A note to be legal does not have to specify a cer- tain day, but it must be made payable upon the happening of an event which is certain to occur-such as a death- though the time is uncertain. ln a bill or note only such persons are considered parties whose names appear upon the face or back of the instrument. To transfer negotiable paper from one person to an- other, it is necessary that it be indorsecl. lndorsement is the writing of a name of the indorser on the instrument with the intent either to transfer the title to the same, or to strengthen the security of the holder by assuming a con- tingent liability for its future payment, or both. An in- dorsement to be valid, must be somewhere upon the in- strument. Any form of words with the signature, from which the intention of the holder to incur the liabilities of an indorser may be determined, is a sufficient indorse- ment. Indorsements are classified as blank, full, without recourse, special, restrictive, conditional and anomalous. Of those named above only the indorsement without re- course applies to the liabilities, the others apply to the different methods of wording and the conditions attach- ing to the delivery. The indorser, without recourse, de- clares himself liable for the payment of the note only on condition that it is forged, fictitious or altered. Of the three kinds of negotiable paper, the one least negotiable by indorsement is the check. A check is not a bill of exchange, but it is an order on a bank or banker, payable on demand, and without days of grace. lt im- plies that the drawer has money on deposit in the bank for the purpose of being checked out. The danger and in- convenience of handling large sums of money all the time is done away with by the use of checks. THE LAW OF NEGOTIATION-Cont'd VVhen there is an occasion to pay out money, an order on a bank is given to the person to be paid. When presentment is made for payment, the payee must sign his name on the back before the bank cashes it. This check is returned to the drawer, and the signature on the back is a receipt that the amount of money called for has been paid. As in the case of a bill of exchange, the drawer im- plies that he has the funds on deposit in the bank, and that the check will be honored. If the bank refuses to pay, the drawer is still liable to the payee for the sum of money. The only case in which the drawer is not held liable for the payment is when the payee neglects to present the check for payment within a reasonable time. It is almost impossible to estimate the extent and commercial value of negotiable paper. Every day, in the transaction of business, men write hundreds of promis- sory notes and bills of exchange. At the present time, a business man, who receives and pays out large sums of money, seldom handles the money itself. He pays by giving his creditors checks on a bank. If the drawer of a check is a responsible business man, and he has drawn out all the money he had deposit- ed, the bank will often honor his check and reimburse itself when he again has money on deposit. The safest way of handling money is by the use of negotiable paper, because it is much easier to lose gold and silver dollars than greenbacks. The United States recognizes this demand, and, instead of putting the gold and silver coins on the market, the precious metals re- main in the vaults, and the gold and silver certificates are passed as currency. Because the United States is able to pay its debts, the certificates issued by the treas- ury are as readily accepted in this country as the legal tender itself would be.

The garlands were finished, and she set out at once to deliver them at the house of Megacles, a wealthy merchant who lived near the theatre of Dionysus, at the foot of the Acropolis. There was to be a banquet in the house of Megacles that night, and Phya's garlands were to be worn by the banqueters, according to the cus- tom of the times. Now Phya was a very beautiful, tall and stately girl, and quite queenly in her bearing. She had been sold into slavery once because she had neither parents nor relatives left to protect her. Then she became a dancing and flute- girl at banquets, but a kind old gardener rescued her from that lifef Now she made garlands for banqueters, vic- tors in the games, and for processions in the religious fes- tivals. It was now the month of flowers, and the shadow- pointer was stretching half way across the garden, when Phya arrived at the house of Megacles. It was evening, and in response in her knock, a slave opened the street door. She entered and walked through the hall into the open court within. There she met Meg- acles and his daughter. Both were evidently proud and ambitious, though not aristocratic in origin. Megacles in his youth had been a boatman, but by shrewdness, energy and daring had become a wealthy ship owner and merchant. It was upon the basis of this wealth he hoped to climb to political power. He was already the recognized leader or 'tboss of the Shore party, as the merchants were called. But the rivalry of the landed aristocracy, the Plain party, and the hostility of the shepherds and farmers who consti- tuted the 'xl-lill party, had thus far prevented Megacles from attaining any power or voice in the government. The T-lillu party was, at this time, headed by Pisis- tratus, who had, at one time, secured supreme power by a cunning stratagem. Gne day in 560 B. C. he had driven into the market place, himself and his mules bleeding from wounds inflicted by his own hands. He explained to the people that the aristocrats had tried to kill him, because he had defended the rights of the masses. He cried out also that his life was no longer safe. The Athenians, be- lieving this, assigned him a bodyguard of fifty men armed with clubs. Pisistratus, however, added to the number of men and equipped them with spears instead of clubs, and then seized the Acropolis. But he did not retain his power long, for the two leaders of the other factions, Megacles of the Shore and Lycurgus of the Plain,', had combined against Pisistra- tus and had driven him into exile. N Now, Megacles was planning to bring him back to Athens, on condition that he would marry Megacles' daughter. He thus hoped to bind Pisistratus to himself and unite the Hill and f'Shore parties. This would perpetuate his own power and that of Pisistratus. Wfhile meditating upon these things. Phya entered with the garlands. Her magnificent stature and stately bearing attracted his attention, and suggested to him a V A GODDESS FOR A DAY-Cont'd plan of bringing back Pisistratus to power, under the ap- parent guardianship of Pallas Athena. Por Phya, clothed in the armour and costume of Pallas Athena, would easily pass for the goddess. The plan was soon submitted to Pisistratus and approved by him, because he could re- gain his power without bloodshed or violence. The gardener was quite willing that Phya-should aid in restoring his great party leader to power, and, of course, Phya was delighted to play the goddess. A few days later Phya, in the guise of the goddess, was approaching Athens, riding beside Pisistratus in a chariot. Heralds proceeded them with the announcement that Pallas Athena was bringing back Pisistratus to her own Acropolis. The procession marched undisturbed through the city and up to the Acropolis, while the Athen- ians manifested the greatest reverence and adoration for the supposed goddess. Thus Phya realized her wish and was goddess for a day. And what did all this mean? It meant the restora- tion of Pisistratus to power, and that meant the protection of the masses from oppression of the nobles, and also the rescue of all Athenians from anarchy. It meant higher civilization, both for that age and all future ages, and the preparation of the ignorant masses for self-government, by crushing the power of the nobles. It was the cause of the revival of art and literature, the founding of many temples, ,and the preservation of Homer's great epics in their present form. And thus the flower-girl of Athens, who played god- dess for a day, was the means of bringing as great a blessing to Athens as Pallas Athena herself could possibly have done. ELLA R. BROWER, Sophomore. CIMON, SON OF MILTIADES Cimon, the son of Miltiades, the conqueror of the Persians at Marathon, was perhaps the greatest man Greece ever produced. In him were united the courage of his father, the great wisdom of Themistocles, and the disinterestedness as well as the justice of Aristides, to which he added remarkable generosity and liberality. Having acquired a great fortune, he made no other use of it than to benefit his fellow-citizens in every way possible. A few instances of his disinterestedness, liber- ality and wisdom follow, as recorded by Cornelius Nepos. He had the fences of his gardens and fields torn down that strangers, as well as his own countrymen, might par- take of his fruit. Wlieii he walked out, he would have a retinue of young men well clothed and if he happened to meet an aged citizen in mean dress, he ordered some one of them to change clothes with him. But besides this, the same body of attendants carried with them a quantity of money, and when they met in the market place any needy person of honest appearance, they took care to slip some pieces into his hand as privately as possible. CIMON, SON OF MILTIADES-Cont'd VV hen the allies to Athens had become weary of fur- nishing troops and ships manned for war Cimon, differ- ent from the other leaders, allowed them to furnish ships unmanned so that they could help their own men at home. He caused the ships, which the allies sent, to be manned by Athenians, thus they arose to a certain degree of su- premacy over their allies. No Grecian general ever humbled the pride and power of Persia like Cimon. He was everywhere victori- ous over the Persians and many times he destroyed their strongest maritime towns. His victorious career was interrupted for a time by fresh dissensions among the Athenians. There existed in Athens a strong political party, opposed to Cimon, which acquired such power during his absence, that he was con- demned to exile for ten years. But, before the expiration of that term, the Athenians perceived how prejudicial it was to their interests to be deprived of the services of such a man, they recalled him from his banishment, and Peri- cles, 'who had been the chief cause of it, was the first to propose a decree for his return. No sooner was Cimon allowed to resume his con- quests than he went again with two hundred vessels in search of the enemy. Having first signally defeated a fleet of three hundred ships, he landed his troops on the Cilician coast and gained another memorable victory over an army of three hundred thousand men, commanded by Mezabyzus, one of the ablest of Persian generals. He intended to go further and even to shake the Persian empire to its very center. when King Artaxerxes. dispirited by so many many losses, and apprehensive of new dangers, resolved to put an end to so disastrous a war by a treaty of peace. It was concluded under the following conditions: First, that the Grecian cities in Asia should be ac- knowledged as free and independent states, secondly, that no Persian war vessel should navigate between the Black Sea and the coasts of Pamphyliag thirdly, that no Persian commander with his troops should approach the Grecian seas within a three days' march, and fourthly, that the Athenians should not longer attack any part of the do- minions of Persia. These conditions were accepted and ratified under oath by the two parties in the year B. C., 449- During the negotiation of this treaty, Cimon died, either from sickness or from a wound received at the seige of Citium in Cyprus. VVhen he drew near his end, he commanded his officers to set out with the fleet im- mediately for Athens and to conceal his death with the utmost care. The order was punctually executed and the secret so well kept that neither the enemies nor the allies had any suspicion of the event, and the whole fleet returned to Athens in safety still under the guidance and care of Cimon. although he had died thirty days before. Thus this great man, the greatest perhaps that Greece ever produced, after having conferred so many signal benefits on his country during life, promoted its inter- ests even after death, and left it in the height of glory and power.

REVOLUTION CONTEST Subject: The Tories of the Revolution The time-honored maxim that history tends to repeat itself has for several years been finding very substantial proof in the annual result of the competition conducted by the Sons of the Revolution. One gold medal had already come to Central from this source when, four years ago, the Sons of the Revolu- tion offered medals for the best essays on Heroes of the Revolution, written by students in Missouri high schools. Two of our pupils, Miss Maude Neal and Mr. Logan Clendenning won diplomas of honorable mention. This was no mean achievement, but it Was eclipsed by the re- sult of the next year's contest, when the gold medal Went to Miss Neal and the bronze one to Miss julia St. Clair. ln IQO3, the gold medal, the bronze medal and the first honorable mention were returned to Central by Miss Lilly Bell Neal, Mr. Henry VVestfall and Mr. VVilliam Mac- Laren. In IQO2 Mr. Horace Griffin had received hon- orable mention. This year has brought to our school the two highest honors, the gold and silver medals, which go respectively to Mr. Cary Griffin and Miss Blanche Resencrans. Cen- tral is especially proud to have Won, for the first time, the two highest honors in this contest, but she is even more proud that she has gained these prizes since the subject, The Tories of the Revolution, although one of the most interesting of topics, was the most difficult yet chosen by the Sons of the Revolution. Since she has ad- vanced thus far, we hope that she will not fall back, but will continue to hold this place of honor among the high schools of Missouri. ,-f ,,g1ll7lll IIIIIIIIIHIJIIII111, 1' ' A .

Two very interesting innovations have been made in the course of study this year. Several months ago, Mr. Vlfeber and Miss Crowder decided to allow the pupils to lay aside their more serious work on Fridays, and to devote these short-hour days to sketching each other. For several lessons, this lighter work seemed harder than the other work, but gradually the pupils have be- come accustomed to it, and interested in it, and their work now shows marked improvement. In consequence of the enthusiasm caused by this short experience in drawing from a alive model, some of the pupils contributed money to hire a regular model. The experience has proved successful, and it is to be hoped that it will be made a regular feature of the course of study in the future 3 for portraiture, even on this small scale, gives the student deeper insight into character than almost any other study. It is the hope of teachers and pupils that their efforts in the past will be rewarded in the near future by a larger and lighter studio, where they invite all ambitious pupils to join them, and where they expect, in time, to produce some second Raphaels and Rembrandts.

ERUEAKER MUSIC Herbert Spencer tells us that music ranks as the highest of ine arts-as the one which, more than any other, ministers to human welfare, and Hooker says, Melody, both vocal and instrumental, is for the raising up of 1nen's hearts and the sweetening of their affec- tions toward God. Every young person who aims at a high educational standard should be thoroughly versed on the knowledge of music, which, more than any other acquirement, will repay the time and money expended upon it. Al- though all cannot excel in music, everyone may become lovers of music, It requires certain talent to produce music, that is, something more than a mere compre- hension of sweet sounds and harmonious notes. There are certain persons in the world who are satisfied when they learn what they call a tune , for instance, ragtime. They have no mu- sical inspiration and their execution upon the piano or organ is purely mechanical. When they hear the magnificent rendition of classic music, they smile serenely and observe that simple music is the sweetest and suits them best, but they forget that the simplest music can be made capable of excellent interpretation. The PR ei td X W Q' J llllla .... l and customs with a love of music. In Egypt music was thought to promote virtue and morality in the edu- cation of the Egyptian youth. Pythagoras commended music in the treatment of the insane. When physi- cians recognized evil spirits as the cause of disease, mu- sic was held to be a cure. The power of the world's great poets and musicians lies in the interpretation of manis own soul. There is a beautiful incident in the life of Jenny Lind which illus- trates how quickly the human heart responds to genuine soul songs. She was from Sweden and her voice was the most heavenly ever given to Woman. Guilia Grisi, a beautiful Italian singer, was in London at the same time as Jenny Lind. Both were invited to sing the same night at acourt concert before the Queen. jenny Lind, being the younger, sang nrst. She was so disturbed by the scornful look of Guilia Grisi that she was at the point of failure when suddenly she asked the accompanist to rise. Taking the va- cant seat her 'lingers wandered over the keys, and then she sang a little prayer which she had sung when a child. As she sang she was no longer in the presence of royalty, but was singing to her friends in the father- 'lfl ll W f yi lilf ' .ll it ' X ' lie !W greatest singers of the world move an audience to tears of appreciation when they sing, t'Home, Sweet Home, or Annie Laurie. - A musical person is always an ad- dition to society. One who has a cultivated voice, or can perform well on any instrument, adds much to aiso- cial gathering. It is necessary, to complete the musical education, that the voice be strong and sweet, developed and improved by modern methods. Music exercises powerful influences through the mind upon the body. By increasing mental energy, or bv its depressing inliuence upon the feelings, music affects the health to a very considerable extent. Many instances might be cited from ancient history and from sacred writings in which the records of songs have united the refinement and purity of Acadian manners ..-, 1, s ii- fll.. fl ii., -il-fli land. At first the notes fioated on soft- ly, then swelled louder and richer every moment. She seemed to throw her whole soul into the thrilling Hprayerf' Gradually the song died away and ended in a sob. The audience was spellbound. jenny Lind lifted her beautiful eyes to look into the scornful face that had so disturbed her. There was no fierce expression nowg instead there was a tear drop glistening on the long, black lashes, and after a moment, Guilia Grisi crossed to jenny Lind's side, placed her arms about her and kissed her, utterly re- gardless of the audience.

CLUB The school spirit and the character of the studies have both contributed to place Old Central almost in the rank of colleges. Nothing is more responsible for this than the Glee Club. A college glee club embodies in song the life and action of the students. Ours does this also, because it represents every phase of school life. It contains the student and the athlete, the rich and the poor. The societies are represented, as is also every class except the Freshman. An organization of this kind would be expected to serve the same purpose in a high school that the soul beyond the most blissful hopes of the future, and as the delicate strains of music fell upon the ear, the eyes hlled and glistened as if beholding sights too glorious for mortal vision. These remarkable results were accomplished by the twenty boys, directed by Mrs. Voorhees.

Sv CENTRAL IVIANDOLIN CLUB CENTRAL MANDOLIN CLUB The Mandolin Club was first organized in the latter part of the school year of 1901-2, and for a year its membership consisted entirely of boys. During the first year of its existence it did not appear in public, but recently outside engagements have been made. The Ni lg work for this year included four church programs, and once before the State Blind Institute of Kansas City, Kansas, once at the Franklin school and once before the Teachers' Insti- tute. From this it is evident that the organization has given entertainments differing very greatly in character and it is thought that in many in- stances it has done much good. Every entertainment the club has given has been' received with great enjoyment and much applause. f-,. :Y-' ' uk , ,:,. ali' I 'fig liib I n lkiil Y lli r Y q. f enthusiastic and encores have been called for very freely.

The primary purpose of this organization is to learn to sing. To this end the girls, during their daily study period with Mrs. Voorhees, pursue a regular course of musical study, comprising theory, Written work, sight reading, ear training, breathing, tone production and vo- calization. In singing they strive for true pitch, correct enunciation, phrasing, style, and finish. Consider- ing the number of untrained voices and the fact that they have but one school period a day for musical study, the improvement of the girls is to be wondered at. Indeed, it speaksfwell for their ability to grasp the subject and their earnestness to do the work. But not all their time is spent in soothing the savage breast , they f gen, U Xi' 1 X become familiar with the linked sweetness of the world's best classics. Most of the operas are studied so thoroughly that upon hearing them one imagines the storyg really one seems to be a partner of the principal characters' joys and sorrows. Aninterest in the history of the great national songs stirred the patriotism of the girls this year. They reason that since the success of a nation depends upon its patriotism, the knowledge of the songs that have helped to make our nation is, at least, one step toward patriotism. It is a pleasure to sing The Star Spangled Banner' now that the girls know that the grand old hymn sprang from the soul of Francis Scott Key, as he watched the glorious ban- ner waving amid the din of shot ' and shell. Such a song must live as . v 4, long as the banner itself. M f'..zf X ' X si. w i will f fwfr, w wish to be musically intelligent as well. This desire arouses their interest in musical history, biography, and harmony. The girls also study musical form in connection with the compo- sitions which are played to illustrate the works of the great masters. Especial attention has been given to the epoch makers of musical history-Bach, Beethoven and W'agner. After the operas are studied, selections from them are played on the Apollo. In this way the girls The club has had a good year. VVhenever it has appeared, it has been received with enthusiasm. This year it has given two programs in Assembly Hall, one at the Franklin school, and another at the Olive Street Methodist church.

Central has, for a long time, needed some musical organization that would help along the athletic interests. Many high schools of less importance than Central have drum corps. This year an investigation was made to see if there was suffi- cient suitable material in school to warrant such an or- ganization and the result was the present drum corps-an organization of which Central should be proud, consider- ing its present strength and purpose. Its object is to get out before the athletic contests, make a noise, attract attention and get up a crowd to at- tend the games 5 then, marching to the field of battle, to drum our boys on to victory. It has fulfilled, at least, the greater part of its pur- pose, as seen at the recent baseball games and track meets. It is waiting patiently until next fall so that it can give the football 'team a share of its famous product. It has been asked several times by pupils and teach- ers, if the corps would give a program in the Assembly Hall. Now, while it shows lack of respect to decline in- vitations, still it was feared that the presumptive spirits which prompted the kindness would be run out of school immediately after such a proceeding. There are at present, in the corps six drummers, eight fifers and one base drummer. The corps has had no uniforms this year, but next fall it hopes to appear in the blue and white of Qld Central. I Mr. Tenplin, our manager, is very largely responsi- ble for the success and good work of the corps, for it was through his untiring efforts that the boys were held to- gether until they gained the necessary strength to stand alone. Mr. Tenplin was for several years connected with the infantry, and as he at one time had charge of a drum corps, the club has been fortunate in securing him as its manager. There is nothing which stirs the American people like a fife and drum corps and as soon as the shrill notes of the fife and the rumble of the drum, together with the boom of the bass drum, are heard, out go all classes to see what is up. On account of this fact, it was thought that a drum corps for Central would stir upimore interest in athletics and other school events, and so it has proved. The corps holds regular practice meetings twice a Week and while those meetings are in progress all educa- tional pursuits in the building stopand the teachers sud- denly decide that they have engagements elsewhere. Although it is but a new organization, the Central High School Fife and Drum Corps is known throughout the city and any other place within a half mile of where it happened to play. Louis SMYTU, junior, ELOCUTION lilocution, as we study it now, differs greatly from the elocution of some years ago. Some old people today, when you speak of studying elocution, say emphatically, Nog Idon't believe in it. It's silly and it makes girls affected. And when you consider what elocution was even twenty years ago, you cannot blame these old people for their opinion. The one idea then was to learn to speak a piece and the pieces were often of the most lurid kind. Wlieii I was six years old, I went to a coun- try school where the old-fashioned Friday entertainments and the old-fashioned idea of elocution prevailed. I can still remember pretty distinctly a piece one of the big girlsnspoke. It was about a gypsy girl who had been deserted by her lover. I remember the big girl had to kneel Qin the snow, I think it wasj, Hcry to Heaven, then snatch a dagger from her bosom, and rushing into the church stab her lover just as he was being married. No wonder sensible people called such things 'fsilly and highly disapproved of them. Wfe, however, not only learn self-possession before an audience, but we also try to develop both the mind and the voice. The whole course is planned with these objects in view. Wfe study Shakespeare's plays and learn not only to gather the meaning of his words, but also to ex- press this meaning to an audience. Oratory is a subject also emphasized for its value in literary training and the art of expression. VVe have our programs'? that are composed of recitations which we could recite in public if need be. In the advanced classes, we have debates, toasts and extemporaneous speeches. No one can deny the value of these exercises. Particularly are the de- bates valuable, as we allknow how very few men can talk and talk to the point. , At the end of a year a pupil has gained much almost unconsciously. Besides the recitations and the Shakes- peare that he has studied, he has learned other things that are of immensely greater value. Take for example a cer- tain boy in the elocution class. He had a good voice, but he could do absolutely nothing on the platform. I-Ie was so nervous that he fidgeted continually 5 he mumbled his words so that he could hardly be understood, and could never renaember more than a third of his recitation. At the end of the year, he could stand and move easily, he spoke clearly and directly and did not forget his lines. The pupils of Central, in particular, have practical uses for what they may learn by the study of elocution. In the first place, elocutionary ability will give a person entrance into a literary society. There, the elocutionary training is constantly needed, in the debates. the pro- grams, the elections, and all arguments. A person who has mastered what our elocution course teaches is needed in the Assembly programs, the Christmas play, and is a power in class elections, as a really good speech will often influence votes. If a person is in the Glee Club and can recite he is doubly valued: if he is a Senior his elocution- ary training will give him a place on the Commencement program. And lastly, it gives an opportunity for a free college education. All of us know of the Chicago Uni- versity scholarships. In after life, the advantage of elocutionary training is so very obvious that it hardly needs mention. Besides the number of times in which a person can give pleasure by reading, everyone is at some time called upon to take part in a debate, or give a toast or an extemporaneous speech. Then, indeed, do many people long for the self- possession that the study of elocution would have given them. In after life, that self-possession alone is well worth years spent in the study of elocution. LEE CAMPBELL, junior. ,,-.

The prizes of the Chicago Oratorical Contest are begin- ning to be looked upon as held in perpetual lease with no right to sell, by the Central High School. Five years ago Mr. Bryant Cromer astonished the high schools of the Middle states by carrying off the nrst prize in the annual declamatory contest held at the University of Chicago. The following year Mr. Ray Merrill won second place in the contest, but at the next trial Central was not successful. The following year, Mr. joe Ellis regained a reputation for Old Central by carrying off first prize. A year later Mr. Sherwood Fender received the same honor and this year Central has fairly outdone herself by winning Hrst place both for the boys and for the girls. The successful students were Mr. Howard Hudson, well known in connection with the Central Glee Club of which he is now the manager, and Miss Lulu Hayes, who is one of the most deservedly popular and one of the most talented meni- bers of our school. In closing this roll of fame we have left wide spaces across the bottom of its pages for we know that it is not closed, but that Central will continue to write new names in its columns as each year goes by,-names that will mean as much to her as those that we see written here today. CHRISTMAS PLAY CAST CHRISTMAS PLAY X On the night of December 23, 1903, when the cur- tain fell on the last act of our annual Christmas Play, a thoroughly pleased and satisfied audience left the Assembly Hall. Although the night was extremely disagreeable, almost every seat in the auditorium was occupied, which goes to prove that when the pupils of Central undertake to do a thing, Kansas City people know that it will be a success. The play given this year was a bright, entertaining little comedy drama, entitled, ,- A Plot That Failed. Such a plot it was! E Starting with an innocent joke perpetrated by some mischievous girls on a handsome young doctor, it ended with the discovery and capture of a real live villain! The cast gave evidence of earnest and thorough training, thanks to the careful in- struction of Mr. Dillenbeck, and the move- ment throughout never dragged. It seems ffl? Lf Besse McMurry, who showed decided dramatic ability. She entered into her part exceedingly well, though never overdrawing it, and her easy stage manner was espec- ially noticeable. Mr. Howard Hudson, who took the part of Abraham, Hannah's brother, made one of the hits of the evening. His impersonation of the old New England farmer was cleverly worked out. Another member of the cast who cle- serves especial mention is Miss Elizabeth Clay, who took the part of Mrs. Halstead, a haughty and disagreeable step-mother. Her voice was well pitched, her manner always in keeping with the part she played. Mr. Boyd Fisher as Dwight, the villian, had a most trying part and he acted in a way to re- flect credit upon himself. Mr. john Higley's work in the role of young Doctor Burton gave evidence of a careful preparation, while Mr. Paul Kendall's impersonation of Sammy, a 2? li it enced pupils, talented as they may be, and also that of Mr. Herbert Van Closter. only just, at this point, to thank Mr. Dillen- C23 32 , negro porter, brought down thehouse.

The is no easy matter to drill a dozen inexperi- V I work of Mr. Homer Berger was good, as was . I, g If i 1 we certainly appreciate Mr. Dil1enbeck's assistance. As for the work done by the individual members of the cast, many complimentary things may be said. Miss Aletha Barr, as Bernice Halstead, a young lady of eighteen with an affection of the heart, was charming. She read her lines with clearness and distinctness, while her girlish simplicity and gracefulness won her a hearty reception. The part of Hannah was taken by Miss In our enthusiastic review ofthe mem- bers of the cast, we had almost forgotten to mention the new scenery, and far be it from us to over- look such an important addition to our stage. Why, it was the first time in many a year that the curtain worked without a hitch for a whole evening! So, here are three cheers for the Christmas play of nineteen three--cast, scenery and all!

LEWIS Chemistry Laboratory PRESENT STATUS OF THE VARIOUS RAYS USED IN THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE , Never before in the history of medicine has the sub- ject of light received the attention it does today. It seems to be the chief topic of discussion among all scien- tific men. The treatment of the subject should be con- servative, owing to the undeveloped and unverified con- dition of affairs. The principal forms of light used in the cure of disease are the X -Ray, the Finsen Light, Radium and the N -Ray. U The X or Roentgen Ray, the father of all the rays, as it were, was discovered by Prof. Williain K. Roentgen, of Wtirzbtirg, Germany, in 1896. These rays, invisible to the eye, are set free when a high pressure electric current is passed through a vacuum tube. For medical use the Crookes' Tube is employed. It is a glass vacuum tube with a platinum wire sealed into either end. The anode, or positive pole, terminates within the tube in a flat, polished piece of platinum, set at an angle of about 450, with a line joining the ends of the tube, while the cathode, or negative pole, ends in a concave piece of aluminum. VV hen an electric current of high pressure is passed through the tube, electrofied particles are shot off from the concave aluminum terminal at right angles to its surface and strike the platinum terminal, which is placed at the focus of the negative terminal. This bom- bardment of the positive or platinum terminal produces rays of great penetrating power, with which we are all familiar, in the form of X or Roentgen Rays. The value of these rays to medicine cannot be over- estimated. In surgery, since photographs can be taken through the flesh, the exact location of foreign bodies, dislocated and broken bones and abnormal and diseased organs can be plainly shown. It has also proven its value in the treatment of certain skin diseases such as can- cer, lupus vulgaris, and psoriasis. y The most thoroughly tested of all light curative agents is the Finsen Light. This was discovered, as its name implies, by Dr. Niels R. Finsen, of Copenhagen. After studying for eight years to become a general p1'2LC- titioner, his health failed. He then took up the study of light in the cure of disease. He had always entertained the idea that light, properly applied, might have curative powers. By his experiments he has brought the science to where we see it today. He is now pensioned by the Danish government, and superintends the splendid Finsen Light Institute in Copenhagen, to which patients are brought from all parts of the world. The Finsen Light is most efficient in the treatment of lupus vulgaris, or tuberculosis of the skin. lt is also used with success in treating cancer, selt rheum, and con- sumption in its early stages. An average of reports shows that from 50 to 60 per cent of patients treated are cured. The apparatus and mode of treatment are briefly as follows: An electric arc lamp of 2,2oo candle-power is placed at the large end of a brass tube about 3 feet long. In this tube is placed two quartz lenses with distilled water between them. The quartz lenses absorb practi- cally all but the actinic rays-blue, violet and ultra-violet, while the distilled water tends to further the work of the quartz lenses by absorbing heat rays. Still the rays are too hot to be applied directly to the affected parts. To USE OF LIGHT RAYS IN MEDICINE-Cont'd further 'reduce the intensity of radiation, the rays are passed through an inverted cup with a quartz bottom. This cup has an inlet and outlet connected to rubber hose, through which cool water is kept running. Here suffi- cient absorption takes place to reduce the intensity of the rays to the point of safe application. The entire appara- tus is suspended from the ceiling and is constructed so it can be placed in any position to treat the part affected. The treatment consists first in placing the inverted cup firmly against the skin over the diseased part and then directing the light through the quartz-bottom. The electric light is used in preference to daylight, since it has been found to do the same work in seconds that the latter did in minutes. The duration of treatment is one hour per day. A cure is generally effected in from two weeks to three months, dependert upon the case. The ulcerated parts heal without scars and the treatment is painless., Photo-chemical baths are also potent in relieving many ailments,-mostly nervous disorders. In this the patient, nude, receives the sunlight over the entire body. A number of cures have been reported. Finsen also discovered that if smallpox patients are allowed to recover in red light, no scars or pock marks re- sult. Phototherapy, sometimes used to designate the prac- tice of Finsen Light, has proven that the actinic rays are practically the only ones of the solar spectrum with a de- cided germicidal effect. It has been so thoroughly prov- en that actinic rays have a positive germicidal effect that Dr. Finsen hopes to contend successfully with contagious and infectious diseases. The royalty of England has taken kindly to his in- ventions, not a few of which are installed in the larger English hospitals. However, phototherapy is seldom used in America for three reasons: First, the rarity of lupus vulgaris in America, secondly, the apparatus is too complicated and expensive for the general practitioner, and lastly, the Yankee pig-headedness in adopting new ideas foreign to him. The last statement is to be deplored. Nevertheless, the new science is radiant with hope. and in the future we may be able to successfully combat with diseases which now seem incurable. Radium, the recently discovered substance, may be of use to the medical fraternity in the future. Since it is so widely known a brief review of its discovery will suf- fice. It was discovered by M. Curie and his wife, Mme. Curie, a lady of Polish birth, working together in a chemical laboratory in Paris. Following after the prin- ciples discovered by Becquerel and Roentgen, she, more than he, succeeded in 1898 in extracting a minute quan- tity from pitch-blende. The commonest form is chloride of radium, grayish-white in color, and resembling coarse- grained salt. The term radio-activity is very often referred to nowadays. We should have a clear conception of its meaning before we proceed further. Radio-activity is USE OF LIGHT RAYS IN MEDICINE-Cont'd the term which is generally taken to mean the giving off of rays which have the power of penetrating opaque ob- jects. The distinguishing feature of radium is that it emits radio-active infinitesimal corpuscles or electrons, with scarcely any perceptible loss in weight or size. Their speed is about one-third that of light or 6o,ooo miles per second. Many things show that radium has a decided effect upon living organisms and tissues. Animals, such as mice, rats, guinea pigs, etc., and plants die after a few days exposure to emissions. It has been used with suc- cess in the treatment of cancer after Roentgen Rays had failed. Experiments in bacteriology show anthrax, ty- phoid, and cholera bacilli to be destroyed after exposure from I6 to 72 hours, thereby showing its germicidal pow- ers. And it has also been reported that blindness, caused by a disorder of the optic nerve, has been perceptibly helped. It is anticipated that pulmonary diseases may be helped or cured by 'finduced radio-activity g that is. breathing air charged with the electrons. Radium seems to have a bright future. However, A2502 fsta- '2???' xanax we should not be overconfident, because time and experi- ment must alone determine that. ' The N Rays are the most recently discovered of all radio-active lights. They emanate from the ganglia or nerve centers, of the body and are only visible when brought near a tlorescent screen. Their wave length has not been accurately determined, but it is known to be shorter than that of light. Their penetrating power is known to be very great. On account of its recent discovery, no data is forth- coming to verify its therapeutical value in medicine. But we may contemplate something from it, since it has the property of radio-activity. Wfhat has already been accomplished, doubtful as much of it may seem to be, gives great hopes for the future development of light as a curative agent. W'hat it shall ultimately amount to is only conjecture as yet. But if the present rate of progress is continued, we may hope to overcome disease which now seem incurable. LESLIE CASTLE, Junior. at P 0 . ' To ' T CYD ' ras '.2a,u'. ,C f 1 i 5i'.if Vt ' li ' SOAP Manufacture, Use and Ingredients lt is singular that people will use the smallest com- modities of life without caring to know anything of their origin or under what conditions they came to be used as they now are. Probably not one person in ten could give the history and preparation of one of our most useful articles, an article which, if we were deprived of today, would cause the greatest inconvenience. This is soap. lt is familiar to every civilized community upon the globe, for its manufacture has been carried to such perfection that it can be had for very little cost. - The first record we have of the use of soap as given us by Pliny, who speaks of too kinds-hard and soft-as used by the Germans for medical purposes, as a salve or ointment. There is reason to believe that soap came to the Romans from Germany, and that the detergents in use in earlier times, and mentioned as soap in the Old Testament, were simply the ashes of plants and other similar purifying agents, and not the soap with which we are familiar. Till Chevreul made his researches on fatty bodies, soap was believed to be simply a binary compound of fat and alkali, but that chemist laid bare the constitution of oils, and the true nature of soaps. He points out that all fatty oils and fats are mixtures of glycerides and some fatty acid, and that if this mixture is boiled with a solu- tion of caustic potash, soap is the result. ' This discovery, together with one made a short ti1ne after-that instead of the expensive olive oils that had hitherto been used, cheaper oils, such as fish oil could be adopted with practically as good results, so far as cleans- ing went-led to the erection of buildings all over the country for the preparation of this article. Of these the one which concerns us most is situated here in our city. It consists of two immense buildings which contain eight large pans, each of which holds ten carloads of soap, and several smaller ones, each holding from one to four car- loads. This factory is more favorably situated for ob- taining fatty substances from the packing companies than the new one, that of Proctor and Gamble, upon the Kaw river. The latter, however, is much larger, con- taining twelve of the largest sized pans, and costing a million or more dollars. The manner in which these factories prepare soaps is a matter of such interest that it is worth while to dwell at some length upon the methods employed. Many of us, no doubt, have heard our grandfathers speak of soft soap. How, when they were boys, they used to save the wood ashes during the winter and store them away in barrels, protected from the rain and snow. In the spring, lime was added, and then water poured on in small quantities from ti1ne to time to dissolve the caus- tic potash. In this way was obtained a dark brown solu- tion which was regarded as sufficiently strong when it would float an egg. The compound in the ashes that is of such importance is potassium carbonate, and when the lime is added the following reaction takes place: SOAP-Cont'd K2 CO, + Ca o -r H, 0:2 KOH 4- Ca oo, Then to the dark brown solution the grease was ad- ded and the whole boiled for several hours. The whole was then stored away in cellars. The method of today for the preparation of this soap is almost the same, differing only in having a small quan- tity of soda in it for the purpose of giving it some con- sistence. As yet no way has been discovered by which the impurities may be removed. They cannot be salted out, as in the case of hard soaps, owing to the double de- composition which results from the action of salt, produc- ing a hard and almost entirely soda soap and potassium chloride. Consequently the finished product, containing all the impurities, would be very irritating to the skin if used upon it as a cleansing agent. Another soap, the making of which is also somewhat interesting, is curd soap. This is made in almost every country, although the nature of the fatty products em- ployed varies greatly. But in all these cases a mixture of several oils is used, and the proportions have no fixity. The fatty products are put into the soap pan and open steam turned in. VVhen the fat has melted, a quantity of weak lye is added, and the injected steam causes the lye and fat to mix and thus produce a milky emulsion. As thelye becomes absorbed, additional quantities are added until the solution becomes distinctly alkaline in its proper- ties. In this condition it contains many impurities, the removing of which is accomplished by a process called 0'raininU.', Either common salt or strong brine in b P3 measured quantity is added, and the soap being insoluble in salt solution a separation of the constituents takes place, the soap collects upon the top and the spent lye falls to the bottom from whence it is drawn off. The soap is then removed and placed in the frames for solidification. Another very interesting feature of the soap indus- try, is the preparation of toilet or perfumed soaps. The method by which they are made differs very little from what has already been mentioned, except that special care is taken to see that the alkali is carefully neutralized, and that all foreign ingredients which might be injurious to the skin are removed. The more common of these soaps are perfumed by simply melting and stirring into the mass some cheap, odorous body that is not affected by alkalies under the influence of heat. The finer ones, how- ever, are made with more care. The soap is cut into thin shavings and the essential perfumes kneaded into it by special machinery after which it is formed into cakes by pressure. There are two theories held in regard to the manner in which soap cleanses. The first is that the soap dis- solved in a large amount of water suffers hydrolysis with the formation of free alkali, and that this solution unites with the oil secreted by the glands of the skin. The second is that the cleansing power of soap is due to the inherent property of its solution to einulsify fats. Both of these theories are ably supported by men of high stand- ing. ROY GREEN, Senior. AN INTERESTING MINERAL COLLECTION i No rock so hard but that a little wave May beat admission in a thousand years. Perhaps few Kansas City people know that right in their midst, in the offices of R. E. Bruner, is an im- posing private collection of minerals, ores, and curios from all parts of the world. Many rare and beautiful specimens are shown in various forms. Both gold and silver are found in all their varieties. Sometimes gold is native, in quartz or agate, lead sulphide, wire form, crys- tallized, and sylvanite. lt is also found in combination with iron in pyrites. Native gold sometimes occurs in quartz, or more commonly in quartz sand. Silver, in some of its forms, is native, wire form, argentite, horn- silver, ruby silver, in lead sulphide, and quartz. Small quantities of silver sulphide are almost always found in lead sulphide. Copper also occurs in various forms, such as malachite, light green in color, azurite, turquois blue, copper pyrite, brassy yellow, fool's gold, somewhat pur- plish, and bornite. Small mounted glass globes contain copper with the water from the mines to keep it from tar- nishing. This copper was taken from the Michigan mines. One notable specimen contains iron, zinc, copper, lead, free gold, quartz and country rock, and another zinc, lead sulphide, iron pyrite, shale, dolomite, and sphal- erite. Still' another of interest, is a rock on which there are lead cubes covered with pyrites of iron. The rock itself is covered with dolomite. , There is no doubt about the beauty of one piece of quartz. It is made up of a great cluster of crystals, weighing about four hundred and eighty pounds. The tips of the crystals are colorless, while the great mass is snowy white. This specimen, which was on exhibition for several years at Little Rock, Ark., is worth several hundred dollars. It was found in Arkansas and for that reason is called the Queen of Arkansasf' It is shown in the second mineral case, as a mass of white. Here are hundreds of specimens of quartz, agate, and petrified wood, the most important being the one mentioned above. There are three or four massive specimens of calcite of unusual beauty in this collection. These crystals whose color varies from pale yellow, pink and blue to jet black, could not be duplicated. Here also are found fine specimens of mica, selenite, feldspar, and zinc sul- phide. One odd rock is the flexible sandstone from North Carolina. Others, asbestos from Canada and corals from East Indies and the Bahamas. The most im- portant of these is the Madrepora and the Astrea. One mineral case is almost entirely filled with stalac- tites and stalagmites. These make a very beautiful show- ing. Some are pearly white, some milky white, others pale yellow, and yet others'pale blue. They present all sorts of exquisite forms. l might spend hours writing about these minerals and still have said comparatively nothing. To rightly appreciate the value of this private mineral collection, one must see it for himself. Time would be well spent, look- ing over these specimens. There are between ten thous- and and eleven thousand gems, ores, and curios in this collection. Mr. Bruner has spent considerable time gathering together these specimens of various kinds for scientific, as well as for financial reasons. He takes great pride in showing and talking about his collection to all visitors who are interested in that direction. He invites all of Kansas City to see this display and particularly, all pupils from either high or ward school, Cprovided they are ac- companied by their teachersj. Here is a great oppor- tunity to see something worth while. No one should let it slip by. Nothing more splendid will be seen at the VVorld's Fair. But why go there and see a mineral col- lection when one of such grandeur can be seen at home? ANNETTE GIFFIN, Junior. A CORNER IN MINERAL IVILJSEUIVI THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF PSYCHOLOGY Of the practical value of psychology, I think the people of the present generation are fully aware. They realize that by the very nature and temperament of this nation, life is strenuousg that men are struggling to gain name, place and honor in this world, and, in order to ob- tain it, all their energies must be directed toward build- ing up their minds. The favorite aphorism of Sir W. Hamilton well expresses this recognized necessity: In this World there is nothing great but man. In man there is nothing great but mind. Psychology first shows the influence which the ner- vous mechanism has over mental operations, then takes up the study of the intellect, feeling, and will. In this order, certain truths are established in the students mind. These truths, or rather laws, have been proved by the ex- perience and years of work of many eminent psycholo- THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF PSYCHOLOGY-Cont'd i gists. They have pursued this work by the comparative study of the biography of great men, by laboratory ex- periments with people, who either had some mental or some bodily infirmity, by watching the development of the minds of children, and by studying the cause and re- sult of the rise of language, mythology, laws, religion, and science among the different peoples. Wfhen understood in their true light, these estab- lished facts are of such a kind as to give any student a good idea of human nature, He goes out into the world able to judge his fellow-men, and hence fitted for the world struggle. Once a man of the world, he never doubts the influence of the association of ideas. Tn the Vicar of VVakefield,,' we have an example of this influence. Moses was unaccustomed to associate white hair and learning with any but tl1e most lovable old gentleman, who deserved respect and veneration. Hence, he trusted the old gentleman, and exchanged his horse for a gross of green spectacles with copper rims and shagreen cases, thinking the rims were silver. On the other hand, while the impostor saw nothing in the boy's face which could lead to the conclusion that he might easily be worked, the hair tied with black ribbon, and the white stockings, easily convinced him of the boy's in- experience with the ways of the world. Both were under the influence of the association of their ideas. However, the impostor had obtained much knowledge of the asso- ciation of ideas, knowing that it was of the utmost im- portance in his business, and had committed just enough Greek to make the people, whom he came in contact with, believe that he lived the life of a scholar. He afterwards confessed that, ever since he was a child of seven, he had watched the effect of different impressions on those about him until dissembling was the easiest and most perfect thing he could do, Not only fakers and quacks, but men in every walk of life, make use of this knowledge,-milliners, hat- ters, shopkeepers, window-drapers, etc. Did you ever wonder why a large packing house will not allow visitors to go through their canning department without special permission? Do you suppose they realize that fastidious visitors may be very unfavorably impressed with the meat, before it is canned and cooked? This association of ideas seems a very potent factor in life. VV hat held the people together in the time of war and what preserved the union? VV' as it not the love of the American flag? This love of flag is rooted deep in the hearts of men of all nations. Their fathers have fought for it and died for it, and this cannot be erased from their minds. To fight the flag should seem too much like fighting what they had been taught to love. For the very reason that it is a potent factor in life, a knowledge of association gives the average student an insight into the doings of every day life. The ultimate result being an employment of all the senses in making the acquirement of knowledge a pleasure, rather than a pain. In a word, psychology leads the way to intellect- ual, moral and physical education. MURIEL MALONEY, Senior. FACULTY-DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS H. H. HOLMES EDWARD M. BAI NTER W. H.

XVe work with three planes: H, the horizontal plane, V, tl1e vertical plane, and P, the perpendicular plane. These planes are placed in the position as you see them in figure I, forming IQ or the first quadrant, 2Q or the second quadrant, 3Q or the third quadrant, 4Q or the fourth quadrant. lVe will place a point, calling it A, in the space of the IQ. Now, when you look from point A perpendicular on the H plane, you see its projection AI, when you look from point A on the V plane, you see its projection A2 5 and when you look from point A on the P plane, you see its projection A3. In figure II you see these three pro- jections, AI, A2, and A3 as they look when the three planes have been laid flat. So in figure Ill you take a line AB, look perpendicu- lar on the H, V, and P planes, and see its three projec- tions AIBI, A2B2, and A3B3. As we have clone with a point and a line, so may we do with a solid. In figure TV we have the frustrum of a pyramid whose base is a regular pentagon. You place this frustrum in the space of IQ, and as you look perpendicular on the H, V, and P planes you see its three projections. So that you may see how beneficial this work is, we will give you its uses. A mechanic will place a spur or a bevel gear in IQ as we have done with the point, the line, and the solid, and he will make his plan accord- ingly. An architect, when looking on the H plane, gets his plan view for a buildingg when looking on the V plane, he gets his front. view g and when looking on the P plane, he gets his side view. So you may see that this work in projections is the foundation of both mechanical and architectural drawing. AIl.EEN FLAVEN, Senior. MATHEMATICS An article on mathematics which shall be of general interest, is very difficult to write. It may not be amiss, however, to call attention to some changes that have taken place in recent years in what we are doing and how we are doing it. Tn the first place, only one year is now required in algebra before geometry is begun. Practically the same work is covered, but not so many problems are solved. In addition, a system of drawing is used by which a pupil is enabled to see more clearly the meaning and use of an equation. One year is given to plain geometry, after which a pupil may either take solid geometry, higher algebra or higher arithmetic. Many pupils wish to become teachers. For them primarily, the work in arithmetic is adapted, though the work never ceases to be practical. In the book now in use, the problems are drawn from the business world, and the methods of solution are the methods of actual prac- tice. Trigonometry is taught in a very interesting way. Problems in surveying, leveling, elevations, and topog- raphy are made by the pupils in the field, and solved by them, in connection with the study. Astronomy is not taught from a mathematical but from a descriptive point of view. Nevertheless, there is much that calls for a geometric conception, and facility in use of the equation. Analytics is not usually taught in the high school. But we have so many pupils whose attainments are be- yond those of an ordinary high school, that one class each year is maintained. About forty-Eve per cent of our graduates intend to go to college. That they may sustain our high reputa- tion for efficiency, a class in college mathematics is main- tained.

He has given a medal to be presented to the pupil making the highest record in mathematics, upon competitive examination. There are more pupils studying mathematics than any other study though it is required only five terms. 1 Though some fail, the number is said to be compara- tively small, and the teachers feel that the number is growing less. 9'x'u X17 G Q ' ibfqr fae15?T' 1257- f- INTER:SOCIETY CONTEST Owing to the inconvenient time at which the Society Contest was held, this article could not be given the proper position or space it should have.

FOX Rhetoric and Grammar SOME PECULIARITIES OF THOREAU One striking difference between Thoreau's works and those of any other writer is that one becomes acquainted with the man by reading even a single one of his books. Possibly this is because of the nature of his works and the matter he treats 5 however, when we read the works of a great traveler or observer, we do not invariably be- come acquainted with the man. Thoreau had many of- fers to go to foreign countries where, his friends thought, he would have much to observe, and probably it was his refusal to move from New England that makes his fame secure. It is the little things that put one into sympathy and understanding with a writer, and Thoreau was a close observer of details. Some of Thoreauys methods are hardly above criti- cism. He never carried a gun, for he says he never killed anything, yet he always took along, on his trips into the wilderness, guides and companions to do the shooting for him. Then he would write about what was shot. Unlike many gentle persons who 'fwouldn't hurt anything, he had no scruples about plucking a beautiful flower to be sacrificed to his own ends. f'By the road- side,', he writes, close to the wheels, I noticed a great purple-fringed orchis, f it which I would fain have plucked if I had not thought the driver of the stage would say, 'Oh, it's a waste of time' H Again he says, 'KVVe soon saw a splendid yellow lily, which I plucked. Thoreau seems to have had a great dislike for mis- sionaries, thinking they should keep away from the Indians with their long prayers and ceremonies which served only to confuse and mystify their untrained minds. I-Ie says: This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Soctarian stream up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, much like sectarian, as if some missionary had tampered with it. di Again, after hearing his Indian guide tell about the long prayers of some mis- sionaries, he writes: I judged that their every camp was a camp-meeting. lt :li I read of another simi- lar party that seem to have spent their time singing the songs of Zion. I was glad that I did not go to Ktaadn with such slow coaches. He occasionally indulges his bit of humor in passages that bring to the reader a slight inclination Cand no morej to smile. After speaking of a beautiful flower which he had just plucked, the naturalist writes: Hav- ing resumed our seats in the canoe, I felt the Indian wip- ing my back, which he had accidentally spat upon. He said this was a sign I was to be married. 'flfVher- ever there is a channel for water, there is a road for the canoe. it it It is said that some Wfestern steamers can run on a heavy dew, whence we can imagine what a canoe may do. , The following passage is characteristic of Thoreau. the naturalist, keen observer and hermit of New England: The note of the white-throated sparrow, a very inspirit- ing but almost wiry sound, was the first heard in the morning, and with this all the woods rang. This was the prevailing bird in the northern part of'Maine. :fl it it Though commonly unseen, their simple ah, tc-tc-tc. te-te-te, so sharp and piercing, was as distinct to the ear as the passage of a spark of fire shot into the darkest forest would be to the eye. it if it I hear this note for a few days only in the spring, as they go through Concord, and in the fall see them again going southward. but then they are mute. XVe are commonly aroused by their lively strain very early. NVhat a glorious time they must have in that wilderness, far from mankind and clcc- tion day! FRANK N. NlI'I'ClIIEl.L, junior. THE SOUTH Walter B.

There midst the moss-draped foliage green A thousand Haming orchids grew, And humming birds of dazzling hues, Fire-like against the heaven's blue, There nature is akin to God, Flit here and there, to each gay flower To flutter, sip, and then away With never a rest the Whole day through, Except their wayward course they stay, To dip and skim o'er some clear stream And scattering as they rise in air A shower of rainbow jewel drops,- Fit gems for any princess' hair. 'Tis there, that earthly paradise Where man meets nature face to face And through the whole year walks with her In all her grandeur and her grace.

Its waters black with mire, boil like a vast whirlpool and pour its sands into Cocytus. A horrible ferryman guards these waters and flow- ing rivers-Charon, terrible in his squalor. Upon his chin there grows a mass of unkempt white beard, his eyes gleam like balls of fire, from his shoulders his sor- did garment hangs gathered in a knot. VVith his own hand he pushes the boat through the deep and tends the sails, ferrying the bodies of the dead in his dusky boat- alreacly old, but God's old age is fresh and green. Hither, from up and down the shore, pour the multi- tudes of the deadg matrons and men and dead heroes, done with life, boys and virgin girls, and youths, laid on their funeral pyres before the eyes of their parents- many as the leaves which slip and fall in the forest at the first touch of frost, or as the birds, which from over the sea gather to the land, when winter drives them across the deep to sunny elimes. They stand, each holding out his hands in longing for the other shore, and begging that he may be the first to cross. But the grim boatman takes now these, now those of that sad band, while some he warns off and keeps away from the shore. Amear-for he wondered and was moved at this tumultuous sight-cries: Tell me, virgin, what means this rushing in crowds to the river? VVhat do the spirits seek, and with what distinction do these desert the shores, while those with oars are ferried over the livid river P Briefly thus the aged Sybil answered him: Son of Anehises, the undoubted offspring of the gods, you see the deep waters of Creytus and the Styginu pool by which even the gods fear to swear and break their oaths. This is a helpless and unburied throng which you behold, the boatman, Charon, those whom he bears across the wave are the buried. For never can man go over the dreadful flood before his bones are quiet in their grave. A hundred years they wander and hover about these shores. Then at last, having served their time, they again seek the stream of their desires. RUTH MCPHERRIN, Senior. Aefmas amico carissinzo saliztem dicizf: Si vales, bene est, ego valeo.

DEPARTMENT OF , GREEK The Pol-tent at Aulis just a few days ago, as it were, when the ships of the Achaeans were collected at Aulis to do a great in- jury to Priam and the Trojans, and while we round about the fountain, under the beautiful plane tree, whence flows the clear water, were making sacrifices of unblemished hecatombs on the altars, there appeared a great omen. A terrible serpent, blood red, on its back, which Zeus himself had sent to the light, darting from under the altar, glided swiftly to the plane tree. There, on the highest branch, crouching under the leaves, were the young of a sparrow, helpless little birds, eight in number, while the mother who bore them was the ninth. Thereupon, the serpent devoured the piteously cry- ing young ones, the mother meanwhile, flying about and bewailing the fate of her children. Then her, still shrilly crying, the serpent seized by the wing. The god who had displayed this omen made its por- tent clear. F or the son of crafty Cronus then turned the serpent to stone. But we, standing around, wondered what had hap- pened. XfVhen, indeed, the dire portent came into the sacrifices, Calchas immediately spoke in prophecy: 6'VVhy, oh long-haired Greeks, have you become silent? Counse- lor Zeus has shown you this thing, as a great omen, late in coming, and late in fulfillment, the glory of which will never fade. For just as the serpent devoured the eight young of this sparrow and the mother, herself, who was the ninth, thus for so many years shall we fight about here, and in the tenth year we shall take the broad- streeted city of Troy. ALVIN BLOCK, Senior. ' The The art of fresco-painting is very ancient, for it is known that from the remotest periods of the monumental history of Egypt, it was in use in that country, but it was perfected in Italy where the most primitive examples are marked by technical peculiarities which even yet sur- Vive. Prominent among those who pursued this art was Guido Reni, a prime master in the Bologuese school of painting, and one of the most admired artists of the period in which he wrought. XV hen but a child, Guido showed a remarkable apti- tude toward the art of form, and at the early age of thirteen he had already gained marked proficiency. He studied under Denis Calvert and Lodovico Caracei, but soon excelled his masters and started in- dependently in the race for patronage and fame. Later he went with Albani to Rome where he re- mained twenty years. Here in the garden-house of the Rospigliosi Palace he painted the vast fresco which is justly regarded as his masterpiece-the Aurora. Earth and sea are rohed in darkness, the winds are hushed, nature is sleeping, when suddenly from the East comes saffron-clad Aurora, rosy-fingered goddess of dawn, daughter of Hyperion and Thia. She is borne swiftly along on a cloud of rosy tint, and is symbolic of the Au I'0l'3. beauty and freshness of the morning as she gaily pursues her way, strewing roses upon the awakening earth. Immediately after her come four steeds, well- matched in mettle and beauty, drawing a golden chariot in which sits Apollo, the personification of manly grace and strength. It is only after the time of Vergil that we Hnd Apollo sitting in the chariot of Helios, for up to that time the Greeks and Romans had never identified Apollo with the sun-god. Guido Reni has followed the later Roman con- ception, and has given to Apollo all god-like attributes in every particular, except in the formation of the head, in which he has to a certain degree failed and which is said to be the one defect in the picture. Poised above the horses heads is a Cupid bearing aloft a flaming torch known to mortals as the morning star. Surrounding the chariot of Apollo move the Hours hand in hand. Comely maidens are these in their robes of Varied hue, their hair carelessly blown by the soft morning breezes. The entire picture is one of motion, swift and 'full of grace, as the happy group advances high above the earth. driving before it all the darkness and gloom of night.

DEPARTMENT OF FRENCH Richelieu L'annee de 1624 trouva au pouvoir en France Ar- mand jean du Plessis de Richelieu qui devait etre pendant dix-huit ans la tete de la France et l'homme le plus puissant du monde. Il etait le troisieme fils d'un capi- taine des gardes de Henri IV. Sa famille etait noble mais pas riche. A la mort de son frere, l'Eveque de Lucon, il quitta le metier des armes pour se faire pretre et pous obtenir plus tard lleveche de son frere. Il etait en apparence grand et beaug ses traits etaient severesg son teint paleg ses cheveux noirs et pendants et une barbe pointue augmentait la severite de sa hgure Sa marche etait noble mais un pen saccade. Sa parole d'uue merveilleuse lucidite mais sans onction et sans charme. If avait une sante assez debile et vers la in de ses jours il etait tres faible. De caractere il etait cruel, froid, iier, vain, egoiste, saus scrupule, sans conscience, mais habile, vif, intelli- gent, brillant, sprituel, sans peur. Toute son ambition etait d'acqueur du pouvoir. Cietait pour lui une pas- sion. Il resolut de le gegner de quelque maniere que ce fut. Il se fmt bien venir de la reine, Marie de Medicis par toutes sortes de tlatteries et de compliments. Il devint meme une premiere fois ministre en 1616. C'etait par l'influence de la reine qu'il fut nomme cardinal et plus tard premier ministre du roi, Louis XIII. Et quand on dit qu'il etait au conseil, c'est adire qu'il etait le Conseil, car il le reglait absolument et les autres seigneurs n'osaient llopposer de peur de movvsir sons sa main cruelle. Quand Richelieu devint premier ministre il troua la France dans une condition d'anarchie et de ruine at cause de la mauvaise gestion de la regente, pendant la minorite du roi. Il y avait trois grands obstacles qu'il devait surmonter. Le premier et le plus diliicile at resondre etait les I-Iuguenots, qui demandaient du pouvoir poli- tique et plus de droits que l'Edit de Nantes leur accord- ait. Richelieu decida de les assieger dans leur place forte, La Rochelle. Par la construction de digues im- menses, il les enferma dans la ville, ou ils furent vaincus par la faim. Apres avoir subjuguer ainsi les I-Iuguenots il s'employa alors at subordonner les seigneurs, qui se revoltaient et qui voulaient avoir des terres et des lois chacun pour lui-meme. Par exemple les Guises- desira- ient s'etablir en Provence, les Montrnorencies en Lan- guedoc. Mais Richelieu savait comment les traiter. Il les imprisona, il les decapita, il les exila, Le troisieme pouvoir qu'il devait detruire etait le Parlement de Paris qui servait d'echec au pouvoir royal. Il le conquit aussi par son esprit de fer. Ainsi Richelieu etablit solidement sur le trone Louis XIII un faible et pauvre roi pour son pays. Hors de toutes ces choses Richelieu aggrandit la France non seulement en terre mais aussi en rang. Du dernier rang il l'eleva au premier rang parmi les nations. Il construsit aussi le Palais Cardinal, appeee plus tard Palais Royal. qui etait beaucoup plus beau et riche qui celui meme du roi. Richelieu y demeurait en grande splendeur, Il y avait de grands salons, des salles de bals, deux theatres et aussi une galerie des vingt-cing DEPARTMENT OF FRENCH-Cont'd premiers hommes de France-et parmi ces portraits l'on trouve celui de Richelieu lui-meme. Richelieu it aussi beancoup pour la litterature par la fondation de l7Acaden1ie Francaise. Quand il entendit que quelques hommes de lettres se reunissaient souvent pour lire, etudier et puriner la langue, il leur demanda s'ils ne voulaient pas s'organizer sous l'autorite royale. C'etait comme un ordre et nous avons aujourdihui le resultat de cet ordre-L'Academie Francaise-la seule soeiete de cette espece au monde. ' .

L'Hotel de Catherine de Vivonne, femme du Marquis de Ram- bouillet, ayant une ame pure et un esprit delicat se plaisait point au Louvre on la cour n'etait guere raninee, et voulut avoir une societe at elle. Pour accomplir ceci, elle it batir a Paris, 51 quelque pas du Louvre, un hotel dont elle donna elle-me-me le plan et qui fut grandement admire. Ici son salon devint bientot le rendez-vous prefere des beaux esprits, des homnies et des femmes les plus distingues et ici fut admis quiconque avait le talent de se faire passer pour un bel esprit. Le roturier y mar- chait de pair avec le gentilhomnie et la roture ne son- geait point a se soulever contre la noblesse. Lous se rencontraient at l'h6tel sur un pied d'egaliteg et ceci etait un grand advantage pour le perfectionnernent de la so- ciete frangaise. Ce salon vit tour at tour Racine, Mal- herbe, Balzac, Richelieu, Corneille, Voiture, Moliere, Boileau, La Rochefoucauld, Mme. de Sevigne, Mlle. de Scudery, Mme. de Longueville et Mlle de Montpensier. L'influence de l'h6tel de Rambouillet sur la littera- ture frangaise etait tres grande. Il epura la langue et le goutg donna aux sentiments et aux moeurs plus de delicatesseg et crea aussi, pour ainsi dire, l'art de la con- versation, niais at force de vouloir etre rafnnee elle de- Rambouillet vint alambiquee et quelque peu aiectee. L'h6tel rendit la langue francaise guindee et pretentieuse. On eut tellement peur d'employer quelque 1not entache de rouille qu'on cessa d'appeler les choses par leur nomg ainsi, un niiroir cessa d'etre un niiroir et fut le Hconseiller des graces? Cette affectation donna naissance 51 la. langue des Precieuses Ridiculesf' Mais le nom de Precieu- ses'l donne d'abord aux dames de lihotel de Rambouillet fut longtemps honorable pour ellesg et clest a l'autre generation des Precienses degenerees que le ridicule s'est attache, paree que certainement chez la Marquise de Rambouillet regnaient la supreme distinction la familiarite, et l'art de tout dire avec grace. Rien ne represente inieux les gouts de l'li6tel de Rambouillet que la celebre Guirlande de julie. E'etait un cahier presente at Mlle. de Rambouillet par le due de Montausier. Des feuilles de ce caliier furent pientes par le celebre peintre Robert et les niadrigaux qui Paceoinpagnaient etaient l'ouvrage de Montausier lui-meme, ou des autres poetes de l'liote1 de Rambouillet. Le Coeur de la belle julie fut touche par cette galanterie et elle epousa Montausier quatre ans plus tard. EDITH MOORE, Post-graduate.

THE GERMAN PLAY CAST THE GERMAN PLAY On the afternoon of April 22, the German classes of Central High School gave their annual entertainment, a farce- Das Vestenknopfchenl'-to the rest of the school and to their patrons. It was a great success in every respect. The large audience gave good proof that the people of Kansas City are interested in the work that we do in our study of German, and the eagerness and good-will with which the ,participants of the farce did their part, show what pleasure the pupils themselves End in pursuit of their German course. ,Zhi The farce was preceded by a few X r musical numbers, each of which was exceptionally good. Then came the farce itself. Lucky CMiss Beulah iN'fig,::f f-AE 3-A 'X 1- X s re- 'fr-.-:film While these two were each preparing to leave, Arnold and Lucky come in and, having learned of the quarrel, decide to sew on the button and so restore peace. Lucky, quite naturally, does not yield to this without a good deal of coaxing. Upon looking they 'rind that two buttons are missing, and so each sews on one. In doing this they accidentally bump heads, and Arnold, making use of the opportunity, grasps Lucky by the arrn and calls her his bride. Lucky feels herself insulted and im- posed upon, and leaves the rooni in a very indignant manner. In the last scene all the charac- ters of the play come in, one after the other, each with wraps on, and parasol Robinsonj is a mischievous young i 'pf ,,,' V and valise in hand, obstinately bent on girl of seventeen, visiting her married -.

Then Max QMr. Clyde Campbellj and Ilse-the young husband and wife-have their first quarrel. It is all about a little vest button that Ilse refuses to sew on her husband's vest. The quarrel results in an utter estrangement, and Ilse threatens to get a divorce. Mr. Campbell and Miss Mense both played this scene ex- ceedingly well, and made a fine impression upon the audience.

Then when all are happy Susie, the cook, rushes in and declares that she will not stay in the house another hour, but when Max oifers her a raise in her salary she gladly submits. The part of the cook, which was indeed very cleverly played by Miss Lena Ack- erman, called forth a great deal of laughter from the audience. Miss Robinson and Mr. Cahn also deserve praise for the ease and grace with which they carried out their parts. ANNETTE BETZ, Senior. DEPARTMENT OF SPANISH EL LAGO TRAPPERS E En los ultimos anos pasados, he pasado varios veranos cerca del Lago Trappers. Eesto en el condado Rio Blanco, Colorado y cerco de seis millas de Williams Forks, oue estan en la parte superior del gran Rio Blanco. Debido a' que esta' a' ochentas millas del fer- rocaril, solo hay pocas gentes que van alli. Los que van son cazadores, y generalment es una clase de caza- dores, que no aprecian la belleza del' lago y de sus alrededoers. El viaje al' Iago se hace en ferrocaril a' Walcott, por diligencia hasto Yainpo, un pueblo que tien cerco de cien gentes y despues, se hace un viaje algo pesodo a' caballo por una vereda escarpada de trienta millas de largo. Esta vereda es tal que ningum carro puede pasar por alli y basta es difi'cil para que un hundre y su caballo puedan pasar. Hay rios, sin puenter que los crucen y muchas lugares escarpodos vue son peligrosos, y que se necesita un tiempo considerable para pasarlos. Para concluir este viaje en un dia se tiene que hacer una jornada, pasado y fastidiosa, y lo que seria una tarca impossible para otro que no fuese un caballo de monte con fuertes herraduras. . El lago propriamente dich esta' situado en una baja de tierra en el llano, formado en la cima de las montanas, y lo escarpado de la vereda puedo imaginarse, cuando digo que en las dos millas proximos al lago, baja el terreno tres mil pies, lo que hace un termino medio de tres y media pulgadas por pie, . El lago esta' lleno abundalarnente con truchas, que es un pescado, el mas dificil para pescar, en el mundo C11 prOpOrCiOu a' su tamano, y el campo alrededoa es exelente terreno paro alses, venados, osas, y para car- neros montaneses que ahora casi se encuentran extintos. TRAPPERS' LAKE. In the past few years I have spent several summers at, or in the vicinity of, Trapperls lake. It is in Rio Blanco county, Colorado, and about six miles from Williams forks, which are at the head of the great White river. On account of its being So miles from a railroad, there are only a few persons who go there. Those that do are hunters, and generally a class of hunters that do not appreciate the beauty of the lake and its surroundings. A trip to the lake consists of a railroad ride to Wol- cott,a stage trip to Yampa-a town of about 300 people- and then a hard trip on horse over a rough trail for 30 miles. The trail is such that no wagon can be driven over-it, and one that is indeed diiiicult for even a man and horse to pass. There are rivers, without bridges, to ford, and many steep places that are dangerous and that require a good deal of time. To complete this ride in one day is a hard and tedious journey, and would be an almost impossible task for other than a rough-shod mountain horse. The lake proper is located in a deep depression in the Flat Top mountains, and the steepness of the trail can be imagined when I say that in the last two miles to the lake one goes down 3,ooo feet, which is an average of 3.5 inches per foot. The lake is abundantly filled with trout-the gamiest'l fish in the world, for its size-and the sur- rounding country is excellent ground for elk, deer, bear, and the now almost extinct mountain sheep.

Griffin, Senior lt was six o'clock on the evening of the great ball, and an air of expectation hung like a cloud over all Lin- colnville. Erastus jones, the fiddler and moving spirit of every social event in the town, had several days before posted notices in the postoffice announc- ing in yellow letters the fifth annual Mask Ball of Lincolnvilleis leading society, and after stating the price of admission, had shrewdly added that, without exception, the leading members of the community would be present. lt was owing to this last statement, as much as to anything else, that on this particular evening the colored, but extremely respectable people of the town showed such an air of im- portance and industry. Mysterious and wholly astonishing costumes were being prepared in all the houses. Black, ex- cited mammies were fluttering officiously around their daughters, while behind the I closed blinds many fearfully and wonder- Fiz X 3:21, s- 'B lj! rf f Mu 1 X , , uu,,,L ? ,,lQk any more of the royal dress, for the red coat was sewed up in front, and, stretching grandly to the Hoor, hid all traces of trousers and coat beneath. In spite of his fine costume, however, Publimus was ina very anxious frame of mind. By common report Qwhich, whatever its faults, usually contains a good deal of truthj, he was desperately in love with Miss Sophelia Pullam, the silly, but captivating belle, whom he was to take to the dance that night. Un- fortunately for him, Mr. johnson was not alone in his happiness, for Sophelia had lately been known to smile very sweetly 5 7 upon another, Mr. Samuel Jackson. Un- der ordinary circumstances, Publimus had little to fear from his rival, for, al- though Sam was a great deal the larger and more handsome of the two, still he . was notoriously poor and lazy and it was a well known fact that Sophelia was de- cidedly adverse to supporting a worthless L f, ,g,f..-. ,N K, - X, F.

N Q Wi i r r f' X l fully attircd men were strutting stiffly in - their strange clothes. Mr. Publimus johnson was one of these. Next to Qld Man Simms, the richest person in town. he was magnificently arrayed in a long red cloak, trimmed with rabbit's fur, and a brass crown to represent the King of England. Being naturally of an economic turn of mind, he had not thought it necessary to provide 65 'E husband. Now, however, when he had ' planned to capture his love by one great blaze of glory, the would-be King Edward had just received a startling piece of news. The Jones' boy, a little yellow fellow, whose age might have been anywhere from eight to fifteen, and whose chief rep- utation was founded upon fearlessness and love of mis- chief, had come to tell him that Sam, after two weeks of HOW SATAN CAME TO LINCOLNVILLE-Cont'd exceptionally steady work, had that morning declared his intention of going to the city to buy a costume that would be the wonder of the ballroom junior, made it known that Sam had carried out his purpose so far as to ride off on the noon . Furthermore, jones, you remember that Lincolnville, itself, had not yet arrived at the happy state of affluence when it could speak with calmness of its first postoffice and second circus. How- train, and had really returned was Dari on the five-thirty with a broad NwU'NE1 A'i grin and two large bundles. '- ,mm Publirnus was in a quandary. ' A 1 ., For the first time it occurred to an ,c, X-XXX him that his rival's costume, and V , f f , 5 u i' xc-, W not his own, might meet the fa- X 5- 11 X R X N vor of Sophelia. He pondered 'V X3 7 at for several minutes over this dis- -' ,ll ll' U X X-, agreeable proposition and then, ,Q ' Wi ' f A happeningto glance at the Jones .l if V nv A boy, who was probably- watching X Q N 'ml V A X fu him with a very angelic expres- - , law I . Q ,1 X , if sion, he was struck by a sudden i - f-D if i X-c if idea. He closed and locked the 5 Xi Y A- . --'er door, took several large sheets Tl- iff, from a chest, gave the boy a ,-: 'Cf' quarter, and then proceeded to unfold a plan that made even a jones boy, gasp with delight. As has already been said, Mr. johnson was one of Lincolnville's most well-to-do citizens. Of course, you must not infer from that that he was a millionaire, for if he had been ful subject for fore and hind. and in exciting human, h ever, the chief glory of Publinius rested, not in the length of his bank account-perhaps because there was no bank-nor even in the fact that he had once held the high oflice of judge of elec- tions, but pre-eminently in the ownership of the famous Nebu- chadnezzar, the pride of the town. As fast horses available, it had long custom of Lincolnville, rounding centers, to give yearly mule races and, thanks to Mr. Iohnstonls big, white animal, his town had carried off the honors for ive successive years. The reason for Nebuchaclnczzans success, his enemies asserted. was the fact that his appearance frightened all the 'igow out of the other competitors. lndeed, were un- been the and sur- e would have furnished a beauti- a character sketch. His legs were bowed His tail was as hairless as an old ball bat, moments, had been known to point straight HOW SATAN CAME TO LINCOLNVILLE-Cont'd up into the air like a flagstaff. His great ears always hung horizontal, stretching far out on each side, and when he was in a race, he would wave them around in very ecstasy of confusion. A Sitting in a light spring wagon, drawn by this im- posing steed, M r. johnson rode to the Pullam's, who lived a few miles out of town, and called for the object of his affections. She heard him coming and, dressed in a long black robe of an old-time nun, she tripped blithely down the path and climbed into the vehicle, with a quickness very unlike a nun. They drove slowly at first, while Publimus, evidently impressed by the stillness of the night and the unreal light of the full moon, soon led the con- versation into the realms of the supernatural. They were soon speaking in awed whispers of the ever-present, but invisible, powers of good and evil. He remarked upon the silence and loneliness of the road, and was gratified to feel her draw closer to him. Finally he reminded her of the dark clumps of trees they were soon to pass through- the spot where a child had once been murdered, and where, it had been asserted upon good authority, both angels and ,demons were in the habit of roaming. S0 well did he play his part, and with such terrified glances did he stare into the gloom, that by the time they reached the dreaded place, Sophelia was fairly frozen with terror. XV hen they were almost through the grove, and just when the girl was beginning to hope once more, the mule suddenly halted, and Publimus gave a low, blood-curdling groan. H e dropped the lines, and began in solemn, judi- cial tones: Sophelia Pnllam, dis yer am a d'rect imposition 0' Providence. Don, you rekelect de surmun Broder james preached las' Sunday? Don you 'member how he says, 'Ye got t' have love, brudern! Ef yo? don' wan, t' have it, de good angel 0' love 'ul come down wid a flamin' sword and mak' ye have itli Sophelia Pullam, youin't never had no love, an' now, jes when you're wid me, honey, de white mule ha' dun stop, and dat hapin'en right year kaint mean but jes' one thing-dat angel is commen' t' git ye, Sophyf, Sophelia cowered abjectly down in the seat, and the arm of Publimus stole softly around her. Look dar, Sophyf' he said in sepulchral tones. Hftls a-commin'. Look at de golden white wings, honey, look at de blazin' swordli' Sophelia slowly opened her eyes and took one fear- ful peep. A few yards off, moving slowly toward her, she saw an awful, snow-white figure. Great wings flapped softly on its shoulders, and as it iioated along, it waved a long, gleaming weapon in one hand, and pointed the other solemnly at her face. She took one look and was con- quered. Go way, go way, dar ! she cried, throwing her arms convulsively around her companion's neck. Oh, go way please, Mistah Angel. I loves Mistah johnson, deed I does. But here there occurred a most startling interruption. A great, unearthly monster rose from the ground and started savagely toward the wagon. It was red-a deep, bloody, unnatural red-which shone with terrible signif- icance in the moonlight. It needed no second glance to see what that was. From the waving feather on the cap, HOW SATAN CAME TO LINCOLNVILLE-Cont'd to the long pointed shoes, it could be only one thing- the real, living, hery devil! He gave an awful roar, and darted with terrible swiftness toward the little group. The King of England saw him first, and rolled unceremoniously from the wagon. The angel and the wondering mule saw him at about the same time. The former, with a human yell and super- human jump, landed up squarely behind the place just vacated by the King. Old Nebuchadnezzar turned around at the Hrst noise, took one disapproving glance at the approaching spirit, and then suddenly determined to seek new fields. The King, thus suddenly deprived of his whole court, sprang almost from under the hands of the avenging demon, gathered his royal garments around him, and started at a very creditable speed after his disappear- ing companions. Such was the procession as it arrived at the ball. In front, with very active ears' and a very rigid tail, came a pale white mule. Behind, in a shaking spring wagon, sat a frightened, bewildered nun, while towering above her, waving a great wooden sword dramatically over her head and enjoying the whole thing immensely, stood the winged Jones boy. A few feet further back, coursing along close to the ground, but with terrible earnestness, came the once proud wearer of a crown. He did not turn toward the dance hall, as the mule did, but, with the royal robes of England Hoating proudly behind, he kept on down the road as far as the eye could reach. Still further back a self-satisned, easy-going devil, Sam jack- son, was seen approaching. Regardless of the crowd of dancers watching him, he walked quickly over to the nun, who was still sitting in the wagon where Nebuchadnezzar had stopped it. The Jones boy-sword, wings and all- had long since faded out of sight. Sam sprang up be- side the still trembling Sophelia, seized her by the hand, and cried, XV ill you marry the devil, honey P She hesi- tated a moment, looked around on the crowd, and then murmured, Rf he wants t' marry me. The preacher, dressed as Jack the Ripper, was instantly called upon. He took his place beside a calm, but still resentful mule, and as the two stood up above him, he married them-the devil and the nun. THREE CHUMS By Aletha Mary Barr, Senior I tell you I don't want a dog ! And Ieminia, other- wise jim, shook her head petulantly. But if one could have looked into her eyes, he would have seen two tears that were threatening to disgrace her. Now, jim, cheer up!', And jack patted her con- solingly on the shoulder, and for a few moments was silent, while jim thought sorrowfully of a dear com- panion, a beauty of a St. Bernard dog that she had lost a short time before. The present conversation was taking place in the yard of The Manor, an old place where Iim's fore- father's had been born and raised, and where Jim her- self had spent fourteen glorious years of happy girlhood. A mile or two up the old road was Royallien I-Iall, the home of Squire Edmond, whose only son and heir, Jack, was the pride, delight and, at the same time, despair of this staid old English countryside. He and jim had been companions ever since the day when M rs. Allison had returned from India with her four- year-old daughter to take possession of the old Manor- house. She had left her gallant husband, Captain Allison, in his last resting place in the tropical forests of India, where he had fallen a hero, during the mutiny. His widow, broken-hearted, had returned to England with Jim, whom she idolized, to spend the remainder of her life in peaceful quiet. And jim, as she grew up, became hus- band, son, and daughter to this fragile little woman. So at the age of eighteen she was strong, indepen- dent, .and rather self-willed, but withal still a tender blooming girl. 6 N She and jack Edmond had kept the neighborhood alive with their pranks and adventures, and Jack and Elini had become synonymous for all kinds of mischief. They rode, hunted, tramped, and fished together, always m gay comradeship. But now it was all past-at least for a time-for Jack was going away! Those four words had been repeated with sorrow in every house around. And immediately would follow the question, VVhat will Jim do P And jim was thinking of this, too. Wliat would she do P VVhy, she said to her mother in a wondering tone, what will I do?

So today jack had come over to have one last chat and to offer her Pat, his English bull-dog. Pat was the most beautiful ugly specimen of the canine race that one could imagine. Bunch-legged, squatty body, a nose pushed clear into his face, a pro- truding mouth, and teeth that made those outside his exclusive circle of friendship fairly gasp with terror. And his tail! As Jim had once ecstatically said, Qh, I just can't describe itll' But for my readeris peace of mind I THREE. CHUMS-Cont'd must give you even an inferior description. Leaving his body at a right angle, it looked like a poker 3 then suddenly it dropped again at a right angle, whether by nature or science I am unable to state. Turning again it seemed to have been crimped. On the whole it was a work of artg whether natural or artihcial those who have more knowl- edge of the subject, can tell you. This beauty was the pride of his owner's heart and he was paying Jim the highest compliment in offering him to her. Imagine his astonishment at hearing her reply: I tell you I don't want a dog! accompanied by that emphatic shake of the head. You don't want Pat? The wonder in his voice in- creased, and lim, turning around, saw jack gazing at her with wide-open eyes and mouth. IVell, you see I shouldn't feel true to Don, and- and- But she Wavered, for through the gate and across the grass came 'lPat. Together they watched him approach, both silently admiring his doggish symmetry. Now, I say, broke in Jack, look at him. jim followinghis advice looked, smiled, and as Pat put his head into her lap, turned and said, Ch, the beauty, I will take him. But come, let us have one more gallop. They jumped up and ran laughing like two children to the stable where lack saddled her horse, and in a few minutes Mrs. Allison was waving them good-by as they rode down the lane. Oh, the glory of that ride! It seemed as if they could never stop. Both realized that a change was at hand. Jack would be in London, busy with Work and pleasure, while Jim would remain at home with her duties and her loneliness. They were both silent and thoughtful. The only sounds heard on the road were those of the horses hoofs and the barking of Pat, as he raced along with them. Y THREE CI-IUMS-Cont'd At last they turned homeward just as twilight be- gan to fall, and as they turned up the lane leading to the Manor Jack spoke. 'Allow often will you write, Jim ? I'll answer your letters, and tell you about Pat, Jack? And about all the dear old 'places and everything that happens, and-well-everything, you know. Iack's tone was wistful and getting off his horse, he stooped over to pet Pat, who seemed to realize that the moment was more solemn than usual. Dear old boy! You'll take good care of him, won't you, jim, and talk to him ? Iack's voice trembled. Then straightening up he lifted Jim from her saddle. I must go now, for I take the early train, you know. Good-by, dear old chum, and-good-by! Now Jack, I feel too bad to have you get sentimen- tal, I will be lost. IN hy, I won't even have any one to quarrel with, and jim laughed a sad little laugh. D0n't forget us all down here in the countryf' VVhy, jim, how could I? The reproach in his voice hurt her. K'I'll write often-and say, jim, don't for- get, will you ?,' And jack shook both her hands fervently and then -- HVV ell, jack, going now ? Mrs. Allisonls voice broke the silence. She was standing in the doorway to say good-by. Y es, I'm off for 'London-town' to make my fortune g so good-by, Mrs. Allison. Cheer the governor up once in a while because he will be rather lonely. And now its good-by for the last time, jimn-his voice dwelt tenderly on the name K'Iim - for I'm off, and jumping on his horse he rode away. And jim standing in that summer twilight waved a good-by and then leaned her head against a pillar and pretended that she was tired, while Pat sat dolefully down on the steps, with his wonderful tail between his legs. It was nine months later when Pat rushed frantically up the steps to where Jim was sitting and whirled madly around trying to attract her attention. But that was hard to do, for she was deep in a reverie-a thing which was strangely frequent with jim these days. At last she stooped over to pet him and saw his tail going at a wonderful rate and on the end of it was tied an envelope. VV ell, what's this ? she cried. She untied the letter and as her eyes fell upon the address, her heart beat a lit- tle faster and the blood rushed to her face. For it was Iack's writing. Wliat miracle was this? Jack in London and here a note in his very handwriting tied to her-or rather his-dog's tail! Her fingers trembled as she opened it, and then a cry brought her mother to the door. Oh, mammy, here's a note from jack! I-Ie's here, really, really, here! and Jim in her excitement hugged her mother until she gasped for breath. For this was what she had read: DEAREST JIM: Arrived here by the afternoon train and a little while ago, seeing Pat wandering around the old place, decided to, make him the bearer of my message. Be ready for a gallop tomorrow morning at half-past five. It will seem like old times. Be sure now, and I will whistle at the gate for you. Yours impatiently, uIACK.,, At five the next morning jim was ready and waiting and when she saw the well-known figure riding up, she rushed out and burst upon him like a whirlwind. Well, it's good to see you! I-Iow are you? I-Iow long will you be here? Wfhat have you been doing ? and THREE CI-IUMS-Cont'd such questions all jumbled up in one mass of incoherent murmurings. Then the first shock over, they rode down the lane and across the open fields as of old-as if he had never been away. She turned and looked at him as they rode along. Yes, he was just the same, more manly, perhaps, and more imbued with that strength of character which makes a success in life. And jack in his turn found the girl of his dreams, and was satisfied. Thus looking, talking and thinking, they galloped along in the fresh morning air, in the quiet of the spring and the freshness of the fields. At length they reined in their horses at the top of the hill and looked out over the meadows and shires of England. The sun was just rising, clispelling the light mist, and making every leaf and blade of grass quiver with expectancy. They had seen this many times, but today it was like a new thing. Jim drewa long deep breath and turned to her companion to speak, but the look in the eyes that met hers kept her silent. jim, -there was a new quality in his voice- do you know that it has been nine long months since we have ridden together over these fields? Do you realize that so long a time has passed since I saw you last? You may but you do not realize how I have longed to see you.

Don't you know what it is P jim felt a smile come to her face in spite of herself. He was so like the boy in the old days-just as impetuous. Then she suddenly thought.

And turning slowly toward him, she gave him her other hand and said softly, Yes, Jack, chums for life. Then pulling away, she wheeled her horse suddenly and cried, 'Tll face you to the housef' and was off. .f a .a . D A CASE OF NEPLVE By Nell Gaines, Senior Vfhen john Clements told his friends that he was going to run for sheriff of Blackfoot county, Idaho, on the Democratic ticket, all of those worthies did their best to dissuade him. They told him that it would be all foolishness for him to try to get the office, for Blackfoot always went Republican. But john thanked them kindly and went his way. Up the mountains about twenty miles was a deep valley known as Iackson's I-Iole. This valley was com- pletely surrounded by mountains, the only entrance be- ing through a small canyon so narrow that horsemen had to go single file. One man could defend the place as long as his ammunition lasted. In the valley were about two thousand acres of as fine land as could be found in the state and this little Eden was occupied by a band of cattle thieves or rustlers. These men were the terror of the country and no ranch in a radius of one hundred miles was safe from their raids. VVhen john Clements formally announced himself candidate for sheriff he remarked, If I am elected, the first stock taken from Blackfoot county by that band of thieves from 'Jacksons Hole' will be brought back if I have to blast out a side of the mountains to do it. So it was that Clements got the office by an overwhelming majority. About a week after he was sworn in four fine horses were stolen from the town of Blackfoot. The next morn- ing Clements and two deputies started for the mountains in hot pursuit of the thieves, but since the men had several hours start of the officers, they reached their stronghold in safety. VV hen Clements and his two companions reached the canyon leading to the Hole, and found no one on guard, Clements sent the two back. VV e three can't start a fight in there and we are too many to try to bluff, so you must go back to Blackfoot. If I don't turn up in a reasonable length of time you get up a posse and clean them out. So long, boys. I-Ie turned his horse and rode slowly up the stream that ran through the canyon. Finding the entrance to the valley unguarded, he rode boldly up the trail leading to the rustlers cabins. As he passed the first one which was somewhat removed from the others, an old man came out and stopped him. I-Ie asked him his business and how he happened to get past the guard. There was no guard at the entrance, Clem- ents answered. I came in here for some horses that have been missing from Blackfoot since night before lastf, I-Ie started his horse, but the man caught his bridle, begging him not to go on. You won't get your horses, he said, but will get killed or will be forced to stay with the gang. I wandered in one day and happened to overhear a conversation between two of the gang and now they won't let me leave. Get out, young man, while you canf, I canit go without those horses Clements answered. I thank you for your interest, but I am not going to leave without the horses. A CASE OF NERVE-Cont'd The man shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside. Clements urged his horse to a gallop and was soon far within the valley. Riding up to a cabin, he started to dis- mount when the door flew open and a big cowboy carry- ing an immense VVinchester came down to the hitch-rack. HI-Iello stranger, what's your business, was the greeting he gave. I came after those horses I see out tl1ere,', Clements said, with a jerk of his head in the direction of a corral. The fellow was so surprised at the audacity of the little officer that he could not speak for a moment. Then he laughed and said, Well, smartness, I want to be around when you get those horses. If you get out of your saddle I will blow your brains out. 'fAll right, shoot, Clements answered, 'ffor I am certainly go- ing to get those horses. I would a little rather be killed on the ground any way. I-Ie slid out of the saddle and started for the corral. The big robber yelled at him to stop, but he went on, calling back over his shoulder, Shoot, old man, while I'm not looking. I won't hurt you. I didn't come to shoot. In fact, I left my guns at home. The only answer he got was a volley of curses. By this time he had reached the corral bars. Pulling them down, he went in and took the nearest horse by the rope still on its halter. He led it out, the other three following, and came slowly back towards the enraged ranchman who was still swearing to kill him every step he took. VVhen Clements reached his own horse, he fastened his lariat to the four others and swung into his saddle. Then turning to the cowboy he said, I think you had better alarm the camp or I will get away with these horses, because you haven't the nerve to even stop 1ne, much less kill me, or you would have done it long ago. As the man made no move to follow Clements, sugges- tion, he rightly judged that the rest of the gang were on another raid, so he turned his horse and rode calmly down the trail. As Clements reached the rift in the rocks that led to safety' he called back to the robber who had followed him to the entrance, If you are going to keep your word and kill me you had better shoot quick, for here we part com- pany. Witli that he turned his horse around the corner and rode down the trail. I-Ie made all speed for Blackfoot, reaching there just in time to stop a posse that had been organized to go after him. After he delivered the horses to their owners, he met a number of cowboys returning to their ranch. He stopped them. Don't leave there, he said, Uwe are all going back to theI'Hole, as soon as I get some sleep. Those fellows up there are cowards. I was so scared I could hardly stay on my horse, but I bluffed a fellow twice my size out of those horses. I don't believe his guns were even loaded. If you wait we'll raid the 'I-Iole.' 'i -5: 'P :lc :iz 21: Ranchmen came from miles away to identify cattle found on the range lands of the I'Iole. Now, this fer- tile land is occupied by numerous farmers and today john Clements is mayor of the county seat and spends his spare time hunting game around his farm in jackson's Hole. THE. WINNING OF A WAGER By Evelyn Hall, Post:graduate One warm day in july, Gay was sitting in his office ruminating over a letter just received from an old school fellow and churn, inviting him to spend the month of August with him on his ranch. It closed with a wager of one hundred acres of his best land that he would return to the city a benedict. 'fWliat can he mean Pi' thought Gay. Does he think I shall be so impressed with his domestic bliss that I shall forthwith ask the first country damsel I see to marry one, or does he expect me to fall in love with his wife and run off with her? Can't see what inducements he can hold out in that line, but country is enough temptation for me this hot weather, so here goes. DEAR LAWRENCE: Letter just received. Thanks awfully for your invitation which I most gratefully accept. The joy of visiting you and Hazel, the cool nights and grassy fields are enough to offer me without any extra accommodation thrown in. Truth is, old fellow, 'There is just one girl in all this world for me.' Where she is just now I do not know, but I am moving heaven and earth to find her. Met her in my legal capacity as administrator of an estate. She was an orphan and a beneficiary. It was love at first sight with me, but I didn't speak till business was all settled. Had an engagement with her one evening, but was suddenly taken ill, became unconscious, and when sufficiently recovered to make inquiries she was gone without a word. So donlt hold me out as adesirable fish for any of your rural beauties to angle for. A wager? Anything you like. I'1l hand you a Sioo bill right out if I fall in love with any one you can show this summer-unless it be Hazel. just think, in a few weeks I'1l be leaving this hot town! Will let you know later what train I take. Meet me at the station, will you? As ever, your truest friend, KlGAY.!7 Dear med, thought Gay, it's next to impossible to go back to business after that letter. Three weeks more of this hot, dusty city would be unendurable if it were not for the hope I have of seeing I-Ielen at any moment, or hearing of her return. Lawrence certainly is crazy if he thinks any girl can begin to come up to I-Ielen Garrett in my estimation. I suppose he has come to the conclu- sion that I shall be a confirmed old bachelor unless he lends me his assistance, but I'll show him. Whyf, here, I have it! Go out and spend a quiet month, win the hun- dred acres of his best land, see Miss Garrett during the winter anyway, if I can't succeed in finding her before, and be a neighbor of Lawrencels during the summer months. Ha! that works like a charm! Three weeks later Gay seized his hat and suit case, slammed the door of the office, and ran down the two flights of steps like a boy let loose from school, arriving outside barely in time to catch the depot car. The clock at the station said 6:05. Ten minutes yet, laughed Gay, after all that rush. Well I'm mighty glad I didn't miss that train, I can tell you, and especially after they promised to meet me. From force of habit, he scanned the faces of the jost- ling crowd and once more turned away with a sigh, pur- chased several magazines at a news-stand and boarded his train. t . if if i PEC 211 ik I-Iere it comes, shouted Lawrence, I said the Northern Pacific, didn't I? This is it, then. And there's old Gay handsomer than ever. f'VVhy,-it's Mr. W'yman! exclaimed Miss Garrett, and with a charming blush, why-didn't-you-tell- me ? Imagine Gay's surprise! Miss Garrett did not understand until afterwards what Lawrence meant by 'tMoney, please. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE JONES, MATCHMAKER ,By Bertha Dennis, Junior D Nell stepped from the train at the little Georgia sta- tion of Sybee in high spirits, in spite of her wilted collar. She was looking forward to a delightful visit with Kate Lovell, her college chum, and what was of much more importance-her brother's fiance. To her surprise and disappointment, no one was visible but the usual crowd of happy, excited little piekaninuies who come up every day to watch trains come in. Expecting her friends to come at any moment, she walked into the stuffy little waiting-room, and sat down, dropping her valise on the Hoor beside her. W' hen the seconds lengthened into minutes, and still no one appeared, her happiness began to ooze away, for the only pastime that suggested itself was battling with the huge mosquitoes-regular galli- nippers they were-and as this was a necessity, it soon proved timesome. At last when sitting still any longer became impossible, she walked out on the wide platform to explore. W just as she turned the corner of the station a quaint little darkey strolled up and touched her arm. I-Iis small ebony face was aglow, and his beady black eyes twinkled mischievously under the torn brim of his big straw '!jimmy, as he looked up at Nell and asked, f'Is you Miss Kitty's comp'ny? Kase if you isf' he continued without waiting for an answer, she's waitin' fo you down de road. Ole jim's got one o' his cranky Hts, an, wonit come up by de engine, so she's a-waitin' in de lane. I'd a been heah soonah but we was a-pickin' cherries fo' Aunt jinny. So, if you'll 'jist come along now, I'll show you whah she is.', After this lucid explanation, the independent little fellow started off down the road, leaving Nell to dart into the waiting-room, seize her valise, and hurry after him. IVe'll have to hurry mighty fast, he volunteered as she caught up with him g 'fMiss Kitty might be skeahed you wasn't commin' and go back home. I'll help you tote that satchel if itis too heavy, he gallantly offered, as he noticed what Nell was carrying. Nell accepted this gen- erous advance, and she and her small escort walked slowly up the dusty road, swinging the valise between them. just as they turned off into a cool-looking lane, Nell heard a call, and looking up, saw her chum hurrying towards her with an anxious, beaming face. During the greetings which followed, Nell's little guide scampered off, I just knew that little rogue, Nap, was up to some of his tricks when he had been gone so long, so I gave over the horse to Mammy Lize, who was going home, and started out to find you myself, Kate explained. Under the influence of loving embraces, Nell's usual vivacity re- turned, and by' the time they came in sight of Kateis home-a stately old brown-stone house, covered with Virginia creepers and surrounded by laurels, magnolias, roses and jasmine-she was ready to vote the South a paradise, in spite of the heat and the tormenting sand- iiies. ' At tea, which they enjoyed in the garden under a great spreading magnolia tree, the two girls were joined by Mrs. Lovell, a gentle, courteous little Southern woman and the only son, Dick, a tall, well-knit, jolly-looking young man. IIe burst out excitedly, Oh, Sis, jack Laughorn has come. Nap told me that his young master arrived this morning. I went around to his camp and begged him to come over and stay with us, but he made the usual excuse that our giddy life interfered with his pleasures. I suppose we shall have to be satisfied with an occasional visit. Then, in answer to Nell's inquiring look, he explained that jack was his college room-mate. an all-round, jolly good fellowf' who devoted a few weeks each summer exclusively to his art. I doubt if you'll ever meet him, unless we run across him in the NAPOLEON BONAPARTE JONES, MATCHMAKER-Cont'd woods some time, Kate laughed, Hhe sticks to his old painting like a crab in sunny weatherf, Several happy days followed, which the young people passed in crabbing, shrimping, surf-bathing and resting. One beautiful afternoon Nell started alone to explore the tempting woods near the house, and found herself in a regular 'Carden of Eden. She wandered on and on under the moss-draped trees, stopping occasionally to gather some particularly beautiful spray of honeysuckle or jessamine, lost in day dreams until the setting sun at HMTHH Moab last reminded her that it was high time to return home. Accordingly, she started back, but to her surprise, as she walked quickly on, nothing seemed familiar. Frantically, she tried various paths, but none of them led her home. At last, realizing that she was lost, she sank down de- spondently upon a vine-covered rock. Before long her reflections were interrupted by a shrill little voice whist- ling Dixie As she looked up, the bushes parted in front of her, and a little black face, topped by a jaunty straw hat, peeped forth. It was Nap, her twice-welcome guardian angel! As soon as he saw her a smile of recognition broke over his face. Advancing with his hands in his overalls' pockets, he greeted her boldly, Don't you remembah me? I's the one what helped you tote yo'ah satchel to Miss Kitty's. XfVant a bite ? he generously asked, as he ex- tracted a grimy peach from the depths of his pockets. It's mighty good, he added as Nell refused with a smile. Nap,,' she said, I'm lost. WO1l,t you take me back to Miss Kitty's ? VV ell, ain't that a shame, sympathetically replied her bright little friend g I can't go back to Miss Kitty's kase I promised Marse jack to come back to suppahg but l'll tell you what, you kin come and eat suppah with us, and we'll take you home aftahwahdsf' Nell knew then that Nap's Marse Jack was the Lovells, artist friend, and smiling roguishly, she followed the little darky, wonder- ing what Kate would say. They had walked but a short distance when they came upon a young man, sitting on a camp-stool, absorbed in painting. That's Marse Iackf' shouted Nap as he caught sight of his master. The artist turned, and seeing the unexpected guest, arose and came forward. She's Miss Kittyls comp'ny,,' said Nap, and with this scant introduction disappeared into the tent, leaving the two young people together. Nell put an end to the embarrassment which they both felt, by saying, with a merry little laugh, You see, your obedient little valet found me lost in the woods and insisted upon bring- ing me home with him. I thought perhaps you would not object to his taking me home, so- I tol' her to stay to suppahfl came from inside the tent. Jack urged his fair guest to accept this cordial invitation, thanking Nap's insatiable appetite for bringing him such luck, but wondering what they could eat. As Nell protested that she was not in the least hungry, she and jack started im- NAPOLEON BONAPARTE JONES, MATCHMAKER-Cont'd mediately homeward in the twilight. Neither one was especially glad when they met Kate and George in the lane, starting out to hunt for their visitor. After proper introductions, Dick exclaimed, It's too bad, old chap, that Miss Nell had to get lost to induce you to come to see us, but now that you are here, we'll keep you for a good long visitf' VVith surprising alacrity, lack ac- cepted the invitation, and the next day Nap moved his master's belongings to the Lovells' to the delight of all persons concerned. However, the Lovells did not see as much of either of their visitors as they had expected. lack spent a great part of his time in company with a certain very attractive young lady, whom he took rowing, walking or fishing, much to Kate's delight and to Dick's chagrin, for he saw that his chances with this charming young person grew beautifully less. p Although Jack tried many times, he never succeeded in speaking to Nell of what lay nearest to his heart. He was almost ready to give up in despair, when one day he caught Nap in a piece of mischief that at any other time would have secured the youngster a sound cutting. Therefore the little fellow was much surprised when his master not only encouraged him to go on with what he was doing, but even offered assistance. Sad to say, all happy times must end, and the time came speedily when Nell must return home. Strange enough Iack's vacation ended at the same time, and he accompanied her to Philadelphia. As they parted, he placed a small package in her hand. It's from Nap, and not to be opened under any circumstances until you reach home, explained lack, and Nell wondered at the note of triumph that sounded in his voice. After a short while, curiosity overcame her sense of honor, and she opened the packet. Inside, on a sheet of delicate pink paper was written the following note, which caused Nell to blush deeply as she read it: 7 . . p Deer mis nel: mis kitty giv me the paper ain t it nice. i Wanted tu send yu wati found in mars jaclds bok but he tuk it awa' wen he saw me lukiu' at u.

The next winter, when Kate went to New York to prepare her trousseau, she found another bride-to-be to help with her preparations, and heard with delight that her wedding-day was to be the occasion of another wed- ding in the same family. 'il really couldn't help it, you see, apologized Nell humbly, Nap fixed it all in such a cute wayf, But Kate knew that Nell loved Nap for just that very cute trick, so she only smiled knowingly. A few days after the double wedding, little Nap, down at Sybee was delighted with a box which came for him from Marse lackl' and Marse lacks' young wife. It contained a huge and delicious candy Cupid and a ten dollar gold piece, which for many days made little Nap lord of all he surveyed. 1f.:fy2Qf A MODERN AMERICAN By Beulah Robinson, Junior They were sitting, as so many couples before them had sat, at one of the tables built for twof' in the re- motest corner of an Eastern cafe. A To look at him, one would have thought that the young lady across from him was sitting enraptured at the fervent words of love that he was pouring into her ear. To look at her, one would have thought that she was listening to something that she had heard three times a ,day for the last week, or else that he was discussing or- dering beaf-steak or lobster. Finally, however, she started up out of her reverie, and, in the animated tone most natural to her, exclaimed, Dick, I have something to tell youlu XNell, said the surprised suitor somewhat taken back at having his words of love interrupted in such a peculiar manner, what in the world is it ?', Promise not to te1l?', IVE-7'CAS.77 'fSure P Sure She took one long deep breath, I'm engaged. Dicks face was one of great perplexity, he knew not whether to be happy or to be sad, to hope or to despair. But he manned up enough courage to say, XN'hen did it happen ? Guessl 'Well, you wern't engaged night before last, for I heard you Hatly deny a statement to that effectf, You're right so farf, And you didn't become engaged last night because you just now told me that you didn't see anyone but that blooming idiot of a stranger here, whois been trying to cut out every other fellow in town.

IN hat in the thunder are you talking about ? f'VVell, now, you calm clown and I'll tell you all about it. Last night I received an offer of marriage for which I was not exactly prepared, so I told him that when I came down here with you tonight, he would receive his answer. He lives here in the hotel, so it was easy enough for him to be down in the office about this time. In passing the dining room, he was to notice if I had my boa on or off. If it were off, so was the engagement, if it were on, as it is now, well- Oh, yes, I see it all, replied the dejected lover in a weak voice, but who's the lucky fellow P That blooming idiot of a stranger, she laughed as they rose to go. ' THE SONG OF THE SWAN By Elma M. Eaton, Senior Tasso was putting a new set of strings of his beloved violin. I had just given him a good scolding. 'Whenever I was particularly cross with Tasso he would provokingly bring out that violin of his, and today he had been so very aggravating that my lecture had been prolonged to nearly lunch time. The main cause of my displeasure was his Hat refusal to play his new composition for meg but I insisted so long that Hnally he said decisively, pointing to the snow-covered landscape without: VVhen winter suddenly is changed to spring, then will I play my swan song for the first time. At this moment Laura, his wife, coming in for the morning practice, brought the lecture and argument to an end. Now week after week passed by and Tasso worked alone in his studies, even Laura being excluded. My lectures grew more frequent but they only made Tasso moodier and glooniier. Laura was broken-hearted over her husband's neglect and worried herself into a serious illness. One night as she lay asleep she moaned restlessly, 'If I could hear him play once again, if I could only hear Tasso play againln I-Ier appeal was heartrending, but knowing the melancholy Tasso too well to interrupt his solitude, I sat helpless, unable to relieve her suffering or fulfill her sad wish. Thoughts came into my heart of the musician. I-Iow could he be be so heartless and cruel to his frail English wife? Could he not see his neglect was killing her? y Suddenly as if in a dream I heard his violin. Laura, too, heard it and as she listened she uttered a cry, Le Cygnelu Le Cygnelu as if in terror, and buried her face in her pillow, sobbing. But I was entranced. Such music! It twittered and sang like a thousand nightingales. It rippled and rushed and whirled like an Alpine mountain stream-now laughter, now tears, now the splashing of silvery-tongued fountains. I had never heard such a mad- dening burst of melody and I was caught up in its beauty and fairly carried from the earth. Suddenly the brilliant movement stopped and the music struck into a weird minor passage like the rushing of a mighty wind through a forest of leafless trees. This, too, faded away as a breath, triumphantly. I turned to Laura-she was dead! I rushed to Tasso's studio and tore open the crimson curtains, but upon the threshold I stopped translixed by the wonder that lay before me. Never had the room, bathed in the moonlight, seemed so beautiful to me. The rich hangings, the marble statues, the velvet furniture, all were silvered in that flood of celestial radiance. But, be- yond the golden candelabra, scintillating with a thousand prismic colors, a sight attracted me which I could not avoid, a sight so full of horror and terror that I could scarcely breathe. Some merciful power enabled me to turn away my eyes to the open balcony where I beheld two large white birds who, even as I gazed, unfolded their lovely wings and flew far from me, vanishing to gether in the evening sky. . So passed T asso and Laura. Through that room. throbbing with the grand music of Tasso's swan song, a delicate perfume like the odor of ungathered violets stole, and I saw that spring had come even to Tasso. UTHUS DO SPARTANS DIE. The sun-god, weary with his endless pursuit of the ever-fleeing darkness, was thrusting up a few last keen- edged shafts of light piercing and fraying the gathered clouds of night hanging low on the horizon, as a little boy of twelve came wearily up a secret footpath on a mountain side. He was slender, lithe and sinewy, with closely-cut hair, wearing only a tunic whose scant folds fell scarcely to his knees. , At every, step little volcanic puffs of dust rose from between his toes settling into a saffron whirl after his passing. On either side of him were waving reaches of barley, where the poppies flurry their dust-dimmed splashes of red. Farther away between its reedlrimmed banks a little mountain stream slipped soapily over the stones, while phantom-like, the angular shoulders of the mountains reared against the sunset, were clothed in ragged scafs of rose-gray clouds. The whole landscape seemed wrapped in a slumberous haze. The boy alone was alert and vigorous. Witli un- abated speed he forged ahead, continually slipping his hand into a fold of his tunic as if to insure the safety of something he carried there. He stopped only when he reached the summit, there he turned and stood, motion- less, as if dumbly conscious of the spendthrift hues scat- tered broadcast in the valley below and the wondrous beauty of the far-off mountains. He contemplated it all in silence for a moment, then with a swift rush of feel- mg he threw his arms, bare and brown, above his head and chanted in a musical monotone an extract from a Spartan song' Thus died Argilus on Tagetus' side, His followers gone, his wound gaping wide, Died blessing the enemy's sword in his breast: The sword which had put him to the test, And made him one of those who gave Their very life-blood their country to saveg Died -in The impassioned chant died on his lips, for suddenly, from his right, a group of men appeared and advanced threateningly. The glow and ire of patriotism still burned within him, but outwardly he was -calm and stoical. 1'Come boy, said one of the men, give us the mes- sage you carry. XV e know you have it, so give it or die. The boyis lean brown hand crept tothe fold in his tunic, drew forth the precious roll and, twisting it con- vulsively for a moment, threw it away-down into the valley, hundreds of feet below, before the men could in- terfere. I Then, with a superb movement, he stepped back, faced his brutish foes and, calm and erect, without a tremor bared his breast, saying, Thus do Spartans die ! The cruel blades hissed and seemed to cleave the air as they sought his wildly throbbing bosom. A dozen times they pierced him, then the fiendish rnen withd1'ew and left him. The mangled form stirred. The boy, half raising himself looked to the VVest and gasped: Thus-died-.Argilus-on Tagetus' side- His follow-ers-gone-' Ah, Sparta! Sparta! Then all was still. The rose-stained VV'est faded to amber then, burning itself out, to a dull ashen-gray and darkness settled down like a pall. But from the enfolding dark came the low sad cry of a night bird like a throbbing heart of sound. iff QBSQ. cisifw lllllll lllllll' J I llllll. lll .llllllll M ' 'I l l ' llllllll all II ll ln lll I.

Dear Mr. Editor:-I would like to ask your advice before advertising a particular idea in young ladies' dress. XVould it be in taste for young women to wear spike- tailedu jackets? These might be made very handsome by rufflingt the back with pink chiffon, filling in with white lace insertion and green baby ribbon. The front could be embroidered with tucks and the belt could be neatly crocheted in red. Please reply as soon as pos- sible. It has been nearly three weeks since I have ap- peared in anything really stunning. Blanche Rosencrans. Dear Editor :--I think a fashion column would add greatly to our school paper, and in order to start such cl department I suggest a tew novelties. It would work marvels on a mans appearance it he would have oil paintings on his negligees. He might also wear a sash for a necktie, having the ends come out in a bow at the ends of his coat sleeves which might be cut off at the elbows. This would add to comfort as well as style. As a final suggestion I would advise that men wear their mackintoshes with gutters around the bottom in order to save the rain water. Respectfully, Vxfillard Hovey. Sir :-Vlfowd it be extremely propah for society chaps to weah extrah high hats in the evenings? They wowd be very conwenient, doncherknow, to carry mid- night lunch in. Williaiaa Scarritt. Dear Sire:-l have made several attgmpts in the East to introduce a new style of young men's clothing. Wliy' would it not be a good scheme to have trousers made of the same material as sweaters? Please aid me in my work of making life easier and more comfortable. Fred Freshman.

As you say you are troubled with too great avoirdupois, we suggest that you try this: Rise at fiveg run around the block ten timesg eat no meals nor between mealsg indulge no longer in the habit of leisurely strolling the halls, but try running up and down the steps.

The enrollment for each year respectively since 1898: 512, 568, 587, 629 727, 975. The correspondence now indicates over r,ooo next year. The most of this increase has been in four classes of the regular college department. In this respect Baker ranl-is among the first colleges south and west of Chicago. Now READY Fon Use. A, fiuflflrge sym- nasium, costing over S35,ooo, in which, as a part of the regular college courses. are given courses of instruction in Physical Training for men and women under carefully train ed experts Who devote all their time to the physical well-being of the students.

Students de- siring to enter the professions will receive advanced standing in all professional schools by coming to us first. , STANDING. Out of eightldebates held with other colleges, Baker was victorious in. all. Recent graduates hold scholarships in six different post- graduate professioual or technical schools, covering the nelds of Political Science, Biology, Entomology. Mathematics, Philosophy and Theology. For three years Baker won first place in the State Oratorical Contest, and first and third places in the Inter'State Contest. This record is not equaled by any of the fifty or more colleges in the Association in all its twenty years' history, Four graduates have fine po- sitions in the United States Weather Bureau Ser- vice. Of the four Magnetic Observatories in the United States, Baker men are in charge of three. Last year there were more calls for teachers than we had graduates to supply. GRQWTH, To sum up briefly the progress of the last live years, the attendance has almost doubled, the Freshman class has trebled, the income has quadrupled, the housing capacity has more than doubled, the value of equipment in laboratories and libraries has trebled, the endowment has quad- rupled. EXPENSES- Vary with the habits of the stu- dent. Sonie have passed through a whole college year on S150 or lessg the average is S150 to 5250, Some spend more. Many students earn a good share of their expenses while in college. One young man began with but 540, completing his course at the end of six years, having made his way. There is no place in the land where the earnest student can get so much for his rnoney. There is no aristocracy in Baker but that of brains, purpose and in- dustry.
