V The editors have done their best to make this a true representative of all in Old Central-from the mighty Senior to the smallest Freshman, and if they have accomplished this end, they will feel ful- ly repaid for all their hard work. We pass no judgment on the book, hence make no apologies for its shortcomings. Yours is the task of judging, for it is your book to criticise or compliment 'as you please. The past year has been a creditable one for Central in every field of her endeavors. September found our stu- dents at hard and conscientious work. which has become a characteristic of Central people. As has been said, time and again, even the Freshmen seemed less green and began their high school existence in a dignified and studious manner worthy even of a Sophomore. Society work was again continued with more than the ordinary zeal and seri- ousness. October brought with it the annual election of THE LUMINARY staff. Although some disappointments and even hard feelings were occasioned by this election, the staff, green as it was, took up its work with enthusi- asm. About this time the Central So- cieties welcomed into their midst two new organizations-the Central Shakes- peare Club, a society composed of boys and girls, and the Delphians, whose roll call was responded to entirely by boys. With this addition to her society direc- tory Central is now the proud posses- sor of five active and hardworking or- ganizations which is a valuable asset in raising the literary standard of any school. A welcome hand was extended as December came, with the Christmas festivities-including a never-to-be-for gotten occasion, in the annals of Old Central, her Christmas play. This was the first of a series of public perform- ances during the past year in which our students have so admirably taken part. This year's play, to use a slang expres- sion, was the best ever. Though it seemed ridiculous that Charley Byers, a member of- the Anti-Cigarette League, could smoke a large black cigar and still remain intact, or that John Higley could drink so much watery looking Wine, and be so strongly advocating religious prin- ciples, nevertheless the characters as a whole appeared truly realistic. Every field of Centralls stage ability has been well represented. The literary societies have given programs which 9 EDITORIAL- Continued aroused our highest interest and were a credit to any high school. The Websters were our first entertainers. 'iWeb- ster Day was celebrated by a one-act farce which showed hard and conscientious study on the part of the actors. The school looked forward with much curiosity to the Aris- tonian program, for 'twas heard in and about that 'troasts were to be numerous. They quite exceeded our expectations in every sense of the word, for there were roasts galore, strong and weak. The S. L. H. surprised us next with their original ideas as to how John Kendrick Bangs' book, 'tThe House Boat on the Styx, should be read to the best advantage. In this, the oldest society now in existence in Old Central nobly upheld the high standard of their society forefathers. Two weeks later found the Central Shakespeare Club making their initial appearance upon our stage. Through their teaching the school at large was permitted a view of the modern Hamlet, intermixed and interwoven with a revised version of Romeo -and Juliet. Later in the year the Del- phians and the Glee Club gave very interesting and cred- itable performances. In Athletics, Central has fulfilled entirely the tra- ditions of her past victorious record. On the gridiron her battles were lost and won, it is true, but even though the defeats had been in majority, the scales would have been balanced by her overwhelming victory over our friends across the way. Again in the indoor track meet at Convention Hall, Manual met defeat through the glorious victory of our team. When Central defeated Manua.l at basket ball, the victory was taken as a matter of course and was not given the praise which was due it. Constant success becomes monotonous, nevertheless the school is looking forward to the time when the base ball and track team trophies will be added to our collection ofnwinning cups. To add school spirit and more interest to athletics, the faculty have al- lowed the organization of the different classes for the pur- pose of inter-class meets. Through this privilege, our ath- letic instructors are enabled not only to provoke more in- terest in track and field work, but are greatly aided in choosing promising material for our next yearls team, especially in the Sophomore and Freshman classes. . But though victorious time and -again within our own school, victory would go without the true meaning if we were compelled to win only at home. If this be true, Cen- tral well knows the meaning, for not only in our own schoolpbut in outside fields, Central students have flaunted the flag of defeat in her opponents' faces. Honors in the Chicago declamation contest have 'become looked upon as common place, and perhaps, for this reason alone, it is well for Central to have taken only the one prize through Miss Beulah Robinsonls reading instead of the usual two. Again, in the annual essay competition conducted by the Sons of the' Revolution, Central stood well up in the rank of honor. To this we are indebted to Mr. Earle Bowers, who won the silver medal and Miss Elizabeth Moise, who received hon- orable men-tion. The twentieth volume of THE LUMINARY can be said truthfully to have been equal it not a trifle better than its predecessors. Some eighty of the most prominent schools have been visited by our school paper each month, and dur- ing the year THE LUMINARY has been favorably commented upon in the exchange columns of nearly every one of these. No college or university, with the exception of the larger institutions of the East, can boast of a better school mag- azine than TITE LUMINARY. The Seniors have finished. Their high school career will be ended when the last of the school events comes -their Class Day and Commencement, which complete their course in secondary schools forever. School has ended and the Juniors are prepared for the ordeal of Seniorship. But All's well that ends well, so this year is well. , THE CENTRRLIHN ' r I Hzsfomf - I-IEN one reads this, the seventh volume of THE CENTRALIAN, he naturally wonders about the history of this book. Vfhen the first CEN- TRALIAN was published, in what form it was, who its former editors were, and by what steps it has developed. The first CENTRALIAN was published in 1899. It was a thin little book, six by nine law-'T inches in size. The paper was not very good and the pictures would look exceedingly poor to us today. They were necessarily small because of the size of the book, but even then twfo pictures, such as the Senior and Junior officers, were often put on the same page. Yet the book well represented all the interests of the school, and is exceedingly interesting. James Gibson was the editor of this volume, and Buford Scruggs was his assistant. , The next two years THE CENTRALIAN retained almost the same form. In 1900 the editor and assistant were Chandler'Warren Watson and Ray Merrill, and the follow- ing year Will Hogsett and Joe Ellis. In 1902, however, THE .CENTRALIAN took a step forward. It was made larger, seven by nine inches, and so was able to give better pictures of the societies and different organizations. The editor and associate editor were Clifford Jones and Helen Mahr. Two years ago, however, was published a CENTRALIAN that showed how much room for improvement there had been. It was nine by twelve inches in size, the paper was of the best quality, the pictures were large and clear and in every way the book proved how,excellent THE CENTRALIAN could be made. The editor and associate editor were Dell Dut- ton and Ruth Weelzs and they will long be envied by THE CENTRALIAN editors, for it seems almost impossible to sur- pass their work. Last year, 1904, Hyden Eaton and Joyce NVelsh were the editors and upheld the standard that had I gre as been set the year before. The book was slightly different in shape, but in size, quality, material, etc., it differed very little from the preceding one. 'When the old GENTRALIANS are examined we can see that there have been many changes in the methods of pro- ducing THE CENTRALIAN, but that the aim has always been the same-to publish a book that will be of interest to every pupil in Central. At first the staff was chosen by their predecessors. Then in 1902 they were nominated by the teachers and elected by the school, and a faculty adviser was added to the staff. That year, too, the editor-in-chief of THE LUMINAEY was retained as editor of THE CEN- TRALIAN. This seemed wise, the greatest experience is needed to publish the ANNUAL. In studying the history of THE CENTRALIAN one studies also the history of Central. Every change that has taken place there is at least hinted at in THE CENTRALIAN. In the 1900 book we find that open sessions have been forbidden and that strenuous efforts are being madeto re- gain them. VVe see, too, organizations that have since dis- appeared-the Anti-Cigarette League, the Cadets, and the Girls College Club.' This year we noticed the first ap- pearance of the Aristonians and Wfebsters. This CEN- TEALIAN seemed to show. that Central was wide-awake, for that year the first glee and mandolin clubs were formed, THE CENTRALIAN had language and science departments for the first time, and the four literary societies gave their an- nual Christmas play. In 1903 we miss this feature and some of us are reminded of the struggle the old societies made against admitting the new ones. Last year we mourned the absence of the three oldest literary societies. lVhen we study the history of THE CEN'r1mi.IixN and see in what close touch with the school life it has always been, we realize that THE CENTRALIAN has been what it evei hopes to be-a true representative of the life at Central.

OUR COUERJ TRIALS 'TRIJILJ' .HND 'TRIBULJITIONJ' OF 'THE BUJI: NEJJ' MANAGER f MEMBER of the business staff of a paper must have some wonderful traits. He must be an able Had writer, and explain fully the merits of the latest Parisian creation in hats if necessary. Yes, he has to learn to promise all kinds of things, whether he intends to do so or not. In fact, at the end of a year he ought to have promised to get half a dozen hats or so for each member of the family, a suit of clothes from every tailor in town, a couple of hundred books, and, incidentally, an automobile or so. Of course, he must have the ability to beat down prices like the rag-man, and at the same time have the persuasive voice of an agent selling com- plexion compounds. He must be a natural-born scrapper, and know how to get out of places before assistance becomes necessary, and acquire the a.rt -of landing right-side-up in case it is used. Then he ought to be able to smile under all circumstances, even when he knows people are passing counterfeit money on him, as he probably will have to do the same act in a few minutes. No, that doesn't hurt his conscience at all. In fact, he hasn't any. He has probably been telling the same whack so long that he believes it himself now, so there you are! 'TRLHLJ' OF .H LITERARY EDITOR School, alas, is nearly over! These few months in your service, fellow students, have taught us almost every- thing essential to making a good start in life. We have learned that disappointment must be borne with patience and fortitude-that it is wisdom to look for the best in everything. Wlith a consciousness of duty done, we feel that time will bring us the sympathy we crave from' future Literary Editors. There is no possible form o-f proposing marriage. whether in the best parlor, under the flowering trees of spring beside the babbling brook, in a quiet corner of the ball room, or out on the prairie after a terrible railroad wreck, which the love stories we have read do not set forth. Modes of acceptance are also very often suggested. Un- fortunately wc have not learned how to refuse, as they never do that in Central students love Stories, -ilk Ld 1 We have not space to mention how much knowledge of detective work we have acquired, or the thrilling tales of this order we have enjoyed. So you may realize with how great regret we give up our keys, and with how great gratitude for so much aid and forbearance, we bid you Good bye. TRIALS OF .H LOC.HL EDITOR First Girl: Girls, do you know where Harry S. is? Helen E. and Mabelle N., Cexcitedlyj : Yes, indeed, we do. U Long and hard did I gaze at the innocent little paper which bore the above hilarious joke. As it lay on my desk, staring, a wandering breeze filtered through a scant inch of open window, and the slip, floated gently from my sight. I heard it flap harmlessly against the side of a certain wicker basket, and I knew that another local had found its last resting place-so far as I was concerned. Yes, it is hard to believe it, but this contribution was intended for such, as it bore the single word local across its back in a large bold hand. Evidently the writer thought it was good. Evidently, I did not. So I reached once more into the dusty depths of the LUMINARY box, and rescued ia small but fat envelope. Of its contents, two squibs were finally selected for publica- tion. I counted the words in the usual way, then back- wards, sideways, and next by commencing in the middle and counting toward both ends. Satisfied with their eligibility to the third, fourth and fifth lines from the bottom of page forty-six, I heaved a sigh and leaned back in the easy C23 chair. ,The after- noon was hot, the clutch of spring-fever was upon me and I was tired, so I began to close my eyes. Before I had finished, however, the chair stumbled and fell over back- wards. Not wishing to appear contrary, I did likewise. With some deliberation I arose, and lest the table should kick at me, I hoisted myself-with equal delibera- tion-into the window sill. To -say the least, I was in- tolerably drowsy. Moreover, I was going to satisfy that feeling. So I propped a bundle of exchanges under my head with intention of taking a nap. And this is precisely what I did, x , -I A fx. ml ff.-fm N-- v x 'N 1 + XA if XXX I , .ff al ' A4 , ' f + QT' 'E 5 -, 1 - W M M - f ff 3 qjghp f U Iv- 1I 'f' XX I X ,X 1ll,,,,.MMHM..igu, 5 U f1.,,1l1Pf Q4 n W AN '1 1 fn M QW w1I' lwa x ff Mg z-my T fx , f yzapf fm mw A I ' nt N ,I 1 in EN N f N X A Y f K ,q gg Wm JD Ai m 25 ., f i s Of ' r W W W I W f My W f. . 3 XX , . 5-Af,A' E' U. .

To be sure we have been written up in THE LUMINARY, but we must consider that, that ,ww j 4 if V ' l A fd' periodical is compiled by our f'l 'l'6'lZ-CLS, the enemy. Surely our school-mates do not realize what a debt they owe to this year's Freshman class. Was it not in our very first year that the teachers were so delighted with us that they had the school board lengthen the term to ten months in order to have us with them longer For our especial benefit, too, the Easter vacation was given. lleretofore no one has cared whether the pupils were hungry or not, but when we entered, the interest in us was so great that the sandwich club was orga.nized. Each day we are provided with' nourishment in the form of a huge sandwich. By this means our fagged brains receive renewed energy, NVith our class was inaugurated, for the Assembly llall program. the giving of poems, orations and essays in l'ori-ign languages. Our class contributed two poems, one in l+'rm-ueh and the other in German. NVe can safely say that they were as well understood by the a.udience as the Latin and Greek essays which were read by the Juniors and Seniors. The subject of our hall program need not be dwelt upon. If it was not the finest in the world, at least, it made a better showing even than that of the Seniors- and it was our first appearance, too! In former years it has been the Freshmen who have made the mistakes, the Freshmen who deserved the re- bukes, the Freshmen who wore out their shoes promenad- ing the halls before school in the morning, the Freshmen who could never find rooms and who forgot locker num- bers. Now, however, it is all changed and the Freshmen are the ones who teach dignity even to the Seniors. Perhaps never before has there been a Freshman on the foot-ball team, but this year our class brought from its ranks a guard who was nearly a match for one of our best players, a Senior, 'and the enthusiasm shown at the various foot-ball games by the Freshmen was enough to put the other classes to shame. Another example of Freshman vim and push, was the organization of a foot ball team which thought itself capable of competing with the first team. But we were underestimated and disregarded. - One of our classmates has thrown the hammer 115 feet. He is now a regular member of the track team. Perhaps the crowning ,event of all was the inter-class track meet. With such a beginning as this what will be the end as Seniors? Never before have so many first-year pupils competed for places on the team, and never were such results a.ttained. Although we did not win the meet -for experience counts a great deal in athletics-still we went ahead of the Sophomores by fifteen points, and won first place in the hammer throw. No! we are not It but we are going to be, CLJIJJ' OF NHUGHT .FEUEN I Lucky number! Thrice lucky class! Never before in all the thirty-eight years I of its existence has Old Central been It , ,f ' blessed With so brilliant and progressive f f a class of ingenious boys and girls. 7 It has been said, and not without i f, fl truth, that the Sophs are conceited. . but I wish to state that this class is an exceiption to the general rule, being above conceit, which is no small virtue in a class so admired by the Freshies and praised and sought after by the Seniors. When We entered as Freshmen the whole school seem- ed overjoyed by our coming, for We were greeted on all sides by broad grins, and the Sophomores paid particular attention to us. But still, We were not overpowered by our own importance, and this year has exemplified our virtues even more fully. We are indeed the shining lights of Central: the magnet which draws the Freshmen on to renewed efforts and undying zeal, in their keen desire to be one day like us. We knoW that we have 'cdrunk long and deep from the fountains of knowledge and so from the kindness of our hearts and the depth of our Wisdom, we Wish to give some advise to the class of 708. VVork! My dear Freshics,7' Work! And think, chiefly think, for the work will take care of itself I Strap your books, and don't for- get to bring a cooky or a cracker to nibble during study hour, as it will strengthen and encourage you in your strenuous efforts to be like us. Above all never forget to bring your nickel when The Luminary is out, for next year you may find out that you need your nickel for other things. All classes have their small troubles, and of course We have ours. Chief among them is the curtailing of our brilliant Wit and eloquent flow of language into the small space of two page themes. Next year, however, will give us Wider scope for our bright and ever increasing ideas. Although our themes must be short we console ourselves, the girls by lengthening their dresses and the boys by donning long trousers. Much more could be said of the Sophomore class, but what is the use, when it can all be summed up in one short word. The Seniors and Juniors have been ND the Fresh- men hope to be, but the Sophomores are strictly It, Fiioaimcw Fisnma, 'O7. THIS PAGE IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED TO THE CLASS OF NAUGHT SEVEN 'THE JUNIOR OFFICERS 'THE CLHJJ OF '06 The J uniors! Classmen, drink the toast K i proudly well-knowing how worthily our class merits tribute. Drink to our past, If our present and our future. Think of the 1 7 . . , glory our former achievements have gained for us. Consider the position we hold in consequence of our present efforts. Then deny, if you possibly can, that the future will be compelled to yield us anything that we may ask. Pray, why should it not, when you remember that we are the class, the only class at Central'? When we make this statement, we do not feel conceited in the least. NVhy should we? WVe feel that we havebut modestly stated that which we believe to be our just place. VVho is to deny our claims? The Seniors? Ah, no. Even if they did hold other views, they would not exert themselves suf- ficiently to deny our statement. Who ever heard of a haughty senior so far condescending as to even notice such a lowly creature as a Junior? However, our class has shown so much brilliancy and has obtained so much pop- ularity, that it is only by putting forth the greatest effort that they are able to ignore us. 'Tis true, they still, by right of being the elder class, have the privilege of pass- ing us in the halls with their glances of scorn and elevated noses. By these signs you will know them. Hence we consider these to be but the outward manifestations of their great effort to pretend we are not in existence. Humble Juniors are we not able to bear with these big- headed individuals? Their time here is very short indeed. In fact they but linger with us yet a while. In a few weeks they, poor innocent children, will be cast out into the cold, cold world. How we do feel for them, but it is by this action and this alone, that we shall be enabled to take the position so long due us. Do you think the Sophomores would make the futile attempt to take from our glory? Far from it, the little dears look upon us with such admiration, pay us such devoted homage that we feel it to be actually pathetic. To them we appear to be persons of the greatest importance. As we swagger down the halls we are obliged to pass under the continual fire of the wondering glances of our little friends. However, f Lz otl6rfi 'SQQJQ ' 'A ,fxjd tx-'im n H ' l. ' -1 KW Q!! W . ,f the favor is not on their side. They are learning from the most perfect of models what they will be expected to do next year. We feel that they are being well repaid by being allowed to copy such celebrities as ourselves. De- spite the dignity we are obliged to maintain in order to uphold our high standard, still we are very fond of these wee lads and lassies who amuse us by their attempts at imitation. IVe feel a brotherly affection for these who are so soon to step into our place. They love us dearly also. In sooth, they have good cause for we possess all the virtues which are generally attributed to Seniors only. These traits added to our original ones make us a class of no-te. We have let the faults of the Seniors be. After living, as we have, for a whole year near these excited persons you may well say that we should profit by their somewhat unwholesome example and leave all their faults out of our list. We even go so far in our good fellowship, as to acknowledge that there is such a class of people as Freshmen in this school. We would not for one moment try to pretend that we do not know that they exist. Rumor tells us that there is a certain class of individuals who do, but we are not of them. Vile believe in letting the poor Freshie at least have a chance. Let him bring his slate and little lunch basket to school with him if he wants to. Let him carry a.round an enormous load of books unless you be a benevolent person Cas we of the Junior class areb who offers to assist him. Let him wear spectacles, he needs something to make him look older, any way, they don't hurt your eyes and they may do his some good. XN7e know his yellow curls look babyfied, still they lend to his face an angelic look which should do us so much good. Never mind, Freshie, you are alright. As a reward for your goodness we are just going to tell. you a little verse which will help you over the hard places Cprovided you remember to suit your actions to the textj. Having learned by ex- perience its value, we now give it to you: Do just as little as you can In all the studies you can With all the teachers you can Just as long as you possibly can, But be careful you don't get canned.

'THE SENIOR! 4' ' Behold the class of 1905 is at its apotheosi-sl A few short months ago, its members were unknown and un- noticed among the common throng. A few months hence they will be buried and forgotten in the oblivion to which former classes have been ruthlessly consigned. There is noth- ing deader than a dead class. While ' f it may point with pride to a. few prosperous soap manufacturers or successful aldermtan who return at intervals to tell from the platform, '4The debt they can never pay their alma mater,- the great majority sink into that unremarked obscurity, where high-souled youths instead of purifying politics, pursue the immortal dollar, and erstwhile maiden graduates, in obliterating those records which prove them full-fledged worlding away back in 'o-blank, forget that woman's mission is to uplift the morals of the universe. But to-day, we, standing in the lime-light of publicity, are somewhat self-conscious, highly embarrass-ed, but withal supremely important, and mightily puffed up with pride. Like the butterfly, from homely immobility, we have soared into the full view of admiring underclassmen. Like the butterfly we forget that our day of perfect happi- . 3 g? we L I 'I W! f'1'Q7v 'A ,r1fvl 'fy will u IW 7 f lt f ness will be brief, our splendor forgotten, with the advent of other butterflies. . It -is a source of grief to us that instead of leaving Hfoot-prints on the sands of time, we will leave on the walls of Central a picture before which future classes -will gape, wondering more at the monstrosities of hair-dress- ing and antique fashions in clothes, than moved by the record of our fame or the intellectuality of our bearing. We fear us much that curiosity, not admiration, will attract these classes to us. A quickly dismissed foreboding whispers that the size of the girls' pompadours not the conquest 'of scholarships or medals will focus their pitiless attention on us, that strangely shaped collars and stranger ties will be more potent than forgotten athletic laurels in drawing notice to the boys. Our one fond hope is that absorbed in the fascinations of the plumber, the ice man and the cook, we may bury our humiliation in thoughts of happier and more honored days. At a time like this all the poetic sentiments of former classes filter through our minds, and with tears in our eyes at the thought of past pleasures and bills yet to come, we devoutly reiterate the motto of the class of '05: lf you can't get a dollar take fifty cents.

This was the beginning of the oldest society now existing in Central, the Society of History. Every year brought an improvement in the soci- ety, as its members accomplished their aim to carry the S. L. ll. to the front. Among the names on its - lists are those of two members of the faculty, Mr. Graves and Mr. Luby, and of many boys and girls who have won honors for themselves and their school in various events. Besides these, there is the name T of Elizabeth Parkinson, who has lately charmed ' American and European audiences with her wonder- ful voice. Last year the society obtained first place over its brothers and sisters by winning two out of a possible four prizes in the Inter Societ contest This the Literature and V - I.i::.. '- hail and the unfriendly elements. Slowly the flower grew., As the seventiny leaves became strong and h-ealthy, there was seen at the very root a bud de- veloping. The bud lived through the severe winters: the heat of summer' strengthened rather than weak- ened it. People saw and wondered. h Six years the flower flourished, but no one ex- cept the loving care-taker looked into its azure depths. 1 Then 'a new life sprang up in the bud, gradually it unfolded its petals and lifted its dew-filled cup to : greet the gardener. All who saw stopped, amazed at the beauty of the blossom and exclaimed: Look, the violetll' 1 Another year passed and, when the w-arm spring came over the earth, the violet raised its face towards - the light. Then thereh was seen, deep in its heart, its N' l very breath-a drop o-f gold. The gardener looking over his beds of flowers, stopped beside the violet, and, . gazing into the fragrant cup, murmured: Aris- tonian. 7 fe A 1i'ixh julian E::i::,:lS flaming T' Tis 1 ' ,If 'x.i 'ffl l ll' il ll , Qi ll ifzgil 6 Tllllul li s l 1 ' J V ' y ' J thirteenth year, might, indeed, have proved an un- lucky one had not the members been determined that 3 5 HISTORY' OF THE CENTRAL LUEBJTER CLUB, they would prove thirteen as lucky a number for them as it has often been for Central. It was their ambi- tion, not only to maintain the high standing of the society, but, if possible, to raise that standard, there- by gaining the approval of former members and showing themselves worthy members of the S. L. H. FRANCIS HICKEY, '07, THE BIRTH OF THE UIOLET A few years ago there lived a gray-haired gardener whose assistant was a woman of noble mind a.nd pure heartg one who ten- derly guarded the young plants entrusted to her. One day while sowing seed, she came upon a stony hill, so stony, indeed, th-at only in a few pla.ces was there any soil to be seen, but high up on the hill, Mount Parnassus it was called, there was a small plot of earth upon which some seed fell. The snows of winter had passed when the gray- haired gardener saw a tiny shoot growing there. Great care was taken that no harm befall the strug- ry y. frafall The glorious dawn of the twentieth century marked nothing more mo- A f mentous in the history of Central .ig Q1 than the birth of the Central Webster xv' Club. Twelve determined sons of Central - banded together in that opportune time, to emulate and exemplify the mighty Webster. ' Twelve embattled fa.thers stood and stemmed the tide of ridicule and denunciation, and worthily typified that grand exemplar 'twho met and conquered everything in his path. ' The organization of the Central Webster Club marked an era in the literary society annals of Central, for it marked the beginning of the organization of several new societies. The modern democratic spirit pervading the Central Webster Club appealed to the best talent of the school. Unsullied by false pretensions, the '4Websters have ever made brains, efficiency and character the requi- sites to their membership. Born of a spirit in aversion to formality, and always characterized by energy, progress and high resolve the legislation of '03 had no effect on the club, but to strengthen it and add impetus to its good work. Founded, as it is, upon the bed-rock of eternal prin- ciples, the Central Webster Club promises always to represent the best there is mentally, mo-rally and physically in Old Centra.l. HUGH Mooan, '05. CENTRAL J'H.HK'EJ'PE.HRE CLUB A915 lm Cf course, we are young, but what of t ,ML . that? Just think how Inuch we have accom- Qgps-Qlgi' plished during our short existence! We are xi now one of the largest societies in Central and are a set of bright boys and girls, unequaled anywhere. The Central Shakespeare Club had an exceedingly novel beginning. One day last fall the Seniors were surprised to hear that a new club was going to be or- ganized which would be entirely different from the other clubs in school. Only full-fledged Seniors could be mem- bers, and the meetings were to be held on Monday after- noons instead of on the accustomed Friday. To enumerate the many drawbacks to this new plan would be a long task. lt is sufficient to say that we finally gave up our former intentions and decided to be- come a regular school society. No doubt our Inore experienced fellow-society mem- bers would have smiled could they have been present at our first few meetings. However, our blissful ignorance of such things as rules of order soon vanished, and now we can undergo the ordeals of parliamentary form with perfect ease. ' It is no easy matter to put a new organization on its feet, but under the careful guidance of our adviser, Mr. Smith, we are now in running order. We have many good reasons to be proud of the C. S. C., the society of the old rose and green. .VIRGINIiX CORLEY, 'O5. .H HIITORY' OF THE DELPHLHNJ' A72 Q an During April a.nd May, of 1904, Mr. Earl Frank lnsley, Mr. J. Pearce Kane and Mr. Jerome E. Dyer, members in other societies, conceived the plan of forming a new society, the Delphians, which they thought would improve upon certain conditions of these societies which they deplored. They 5 A ol? 'Sha ig' :mt . -5.- soon attracted to their purpose Mr. Edwin Patteison, and the last day of school, a meeting was held at which these original four were present. During the summer Mr. Lucius McConnell became a member, and shortly before school began, Mr. Harry Minton, Mr. Dayton Langworthy, Mr. Howard Shafer and Mr. Frank Geary were united to the organization. All of these, like the originators, wished to get better con- ditions. Early in the fall Mr. Harry F. Cotton became a member. Later there were added Mr. George Neal and Mr. Dale Johnson. With these twelve members, a charter was applied for in November. Being required to have a membership of twenty before they could secure a charter, with painstaking discrimination the Delphians selected their members, and on January 13th, received their charter. Now, already 'prominent in school life, they move forward into the future, confident that the all- pervading object of the originators has been gained. EDWIN W. Pivrrnnsoiv, 'O6. THE KELUIN CLUB On the evening of March 16th, 1905, the organization of the Kelvin Club took place. This society was formed by a fewstudents with the purpose of promoting interest in scientific studies, and also to investigate things that are of scientific interest and importance. The members are assigned various subjects to investigate and report upon to the club. Lectures are also given by eminent scientists in this vicinity which are always followed by general discussion and experiments. The success which the club has had in the brief past insures a long and honorable life. The programs given up to the present date have been successes in the highest sense of the word. The lectures given by Mr. Peters, Dr. Wall and Dr. Parker, have been very satisfactory. The light which these investigations throw upon the small things in scientific studies will easily make itself felt in the department, and by doing this this club will fill a long felt want in the science department of the school.

Last fall the constitution was completely revised, spe- cial stress being laid upon the regular participation in the literary program given at each meeting. The nature of the material used in these programs was altered, too. The lighter work of other years was replaced by compulsory debates and orations. Without losing any of their literary value, they are as interesting and varied as the Orpheum circuit. Indeed, an exteinporaneous speech is often given which would have astonished Demosthenes, and a debate in which no one would be convinced: Resolved, That if you sit on the banks of the Wabash, in the light of the moon, on Friday, the thirteenth of the month, from the hours 2 a. in. until 6 a. in., you will catch a fish instead of a crawdad, backing out. Concerning their dramatic accomplishment, they have taken a book, 'composed of nothing but words, and have made it as full of action as the retreating Russians before the J aps. Although their play was not one which would immortalize the love of Romeo and Juliet, still it will be remembered for its'fraternal spirit long after the Sweet Willies are growing over their graves. Along with these improvements in the literary work of the society, new rules of conduct were advanced and en- forced. In this work Robert's Rules were their best guide. Now, at the closeof the school year, the members of the Society of Literature and History feel repaid for every effort spent in bringing the organization out of a state of chaos into one of systematic culture. Their society spirit has accomplished much, but more than this, their attain- ment must be attributed to the indomitable will on the part of every one to become an individual success.

OF THE HRIJTONIHNJ It is hardly necessary to 'go to any great length to tell you what we are, when we tell you who we are. We have been among you for five whole years, -now, and we have done our part toward carrying on the affairs of this insti- tution. You have heard our, voice in the discussions which, from time to time, haveicome before us as a school, and we have never, in any way, striven to- conceal our identity. On the contrary, we have labored ceaselessly to make a pl-ace for ourselves. In case there should be any one, however, who doesn't know us-we are a band of girls working together for mutual benefit, and Aristonian is our name. ' We can truly say that we have worked honestly and earnestly in our society to attain that which our name sig- nifies-the best. Our aim is a high grade of scholarship, and we have maintained our standard unfalteringly. The results you see. Our people are known throughout the school as students whose work and grades are a credit to them. No-W, you must know, it is the yearly custom of the Aristonians to carry off all the honors that come their way. Nor is thisyear anylexception. The merit -of our people has been recognized along more lines than one. To go back just a little, the prize in declamation in the inter- society contest last year came to us-an honor of which we feel justly proud. This year three iof our numbers participated in the Christmas play, two hold places on the LUMINARY staff, and one has brought honor to herself and her society in the Sons of the Revolution contest. Besides this, the society as a whole feels that it has main- tained its stan'da.r'd of excellence in its Hall program, Aruachronisms, which was given on March 17. Thus we feel that this year has been a fruitful one. We hope for many such years in the future, and we see no reason why they should not come. We are willing to work, and why should not honors come to us? Wherefore, may the purple and lavender long be honored at Central, and ever leave the imprint of its meaning, the best, on the hearts of her students.

NOXVLIN LUORK' OF THE C. HJ. C. Why does the Vlfebster Club hold such a conspicuous and honorable place in Central? The best reply to this question is an explanation of the Work of the club. First, it is a literary society, not merely-because it is so called in its charter, but because it has Won that name by earnest effort. 'For every meeting, a literary program is ,carefully worked out in advance, giving the members ample time for preparation. Characters and events of his- tory, masterpieces of literature and art and Wonders of science furnish material for orations, essays and even eX- temporaneous speeches. Social, political and economic questions are brought before us in debate, and dramatic selections are given by' those who have had the advantage of special training in elocution. The language used by the members is improved by intelligent and helpful criti- cism. The faithful performance of these literary duties soon becomes a pleasure, but lest it should ever be irk- so-me, a second critic adds life to the meetings by his correc- tion of the members in spirited verse and pointed liiner- icks. s ' Practice in the application of the principles of parlia- mentary lasv is also animportant feature of our work. Ac- curacy and readiness in dealing with the questions which arise in a long and complicated discussion have only been acquired by constant study of Roberts' Revised-the guide, philosopher and friend of every Webster. It is also one of the principles of the club to encourage athletic exercise among its members. Vile admire physical as well as mental strength, and have contributed our full quota of Central 's athletic forces. From this brief mention of our purposes and the means by which they have been accomplished, it will be seen that We have Won honors, not because We sought them more than others, but because we have received a thorough prepara- tion which makes us more able to do what we set out to do. All of our Work has not been brilliant, but it has been so faithfully and regularly and unostentatiously kept up by all the members, that they can give a good account of themselves in any department of school activity.

SMITH THE SHHKESPEHREJ Thenwork done by the Central Shakespeare Club is of the most interesting character. Whenever the club begins the study of one of Shakespeares plays, the members of the club are assigned characters throughout the play, and the book is read at the regular meetings. By this means a fair knowledge of the whole drama is acquired. After the story has been read, the real study of the play begins. Carefully chosen questions are arranged and given to the society to study. Vfhen the regular Weekly program is rendered, each person who is selected to take part fulfills the task pre- scribed for him. His part of the program may be the eX- planation of some difficult speech or passage, or it may be the analysis of some character as portrayed by his speeches or actions. After one has given his rendition of the part the sub- ject is opened to discussion, and any one, Whether he agrees with the opinion just expressed, or whether he has a dif- ferent coneeption of it, is free to present his ideas. By this means interest is aroused, and much information concern- ing various disputed questions is Obtained. -In this manner the club has studied and analyzed the comedy of Twelfth Night and the tragedy of Ham- let. Besides the regular Shakespeare studies the program is diversified by the presentation of other subjects, such as readings, essays, and musical selections. GEORGE MAOCURDY, ,06.

BONNIFIELD I THE DELPHIANJ' In this the initial year of its life, the Delphian Lit- erary Society has already won grand victories and accom- plished many noteworthy things. Beset from its begin- ning with obstacles and difficulties, it is at this early date one of the best societies in the school. Its influence is felt in all departments of school work. In athletics the society has been especially well rep- resented. Both in foot ball and basket ball the ability of its members has been recognized. The basket ball team which won such a glorious victory over Manual in the con- vention Hall contests, with the exception of one man, was composed entirely of the society 's members. Again, it was honored in the selection of its men for members of the track team and by the election of one of them as captain. The line-up of the base ball team includes Delphian men. We are represented in two offices of the Athletic Associ- ation. In other lines of a more literary character the society occupies a conspicuous place. In the Christmas play cast two members took prominent parts. The success of the play is the only recommendation necessary for the work of the members. The influence and spirit of the society were felt in the senior election, in which a Delphian was elected to one of the offices. Another was selected to rep- resent Central in declamation at Manual. It also has rep- resentatives in the Glee Club, two of its members holding prominent offices. In fact, everything that the society has attempted has been characterized by a struggle to at- tain a highstandard of excellence. Its efforts, we think, have been crowned with success. And yet, we are not sur- prised to find a society with a motto such as We will, overcoming obstacles and achieving great things. We have no past history, no long or distinguished alma mater about which to brag, suffice it to say that in future years the Delphian Literary Society shall hol-1 the highest and most honored place among the literary societies of the school, and that the names of its menibers who pass out from the school shall be admired and esteemed as those who willed, and those who accomplished something.

The Kelvin Club is a science club, in the true sense of the word. Its sole aim, like that of its namesake, Lord Kel- vin, is the advancement of science in all its branches. There is no question that it fills a l-ong-felt want in the life of Central High School. We have had our special literary, musical and athletic societies for many years, while the sci- ence section of this school has been neglected to the detri- ment not only of the school as a whole, but also of those pupils who are scientifically inclined. The object of the club is the taking up of experiments in physical and biological sciences which could not, through lack of time and complexity of nature, be demonstrated in the class room. As the meetings are once a week, the plan has been to have professors of science from nearby colleges and men of some scientific attainments living near or pass- ing through the city, give the program every other meet- ing. Too much attention cannot be given to this part of the program. The hearing of a good, solid lecture on real scientific matter, discarding mere Hpopular science, can- not fail to leave a marked effect on a young man is mind. Everything is favorable to this sort of program. The audience is not so large but that each person in it feels that the speaker is talking to him. The room is not so large but that those in the farthest corner can see and hear everything that is going on-the lack of which accommo- dation is the greatest fault a.ttending those lectures given in the great halls and auditoriums. The lectures them- selves are interesting above the ordinary for practical dem- onstrations are used to reinforce all that the speaker says. For instance, in the lecture on bacteria, small colonies of germs in glass tubes were handed around to each one pres- ent. In the lecture on color perception, we actually had more than forty experiments on the mingling of colors, and the lecture on hypnotism demonstrated on a subject the physiological fact of hypnotic suggestion. But these pro- grams are furnished by outside people and in order to give the actual members work to do they are assigned special topics by the program committee. On these they report every other Friday. These topics, such as the nature and workings -of the air brake, and the manufacture of soap, are' selected so that the member can report on them after visiting the factories and manufactories of our city. Such information, besides being vastly more interesting than the ordinary book science, seems to be of a more per- sonal interest to the pupil. Then, also, once every other week, an article on current scientific events is read to enable the club to keep in touch with the moving scientific world. As our critic seems determined to keep out parliamentary scrappinessf' and as all political interests are rigorously debarred, there seems to be no reason why the Kelvin Club should not enroll its name as a lifelong society of the ever- growing Central High School. ' FRANK C. W1LKiNsoN, 'O6. CENTRAL US. LIBERTY DEBATE BOUT two months ago Central High School was honored with a challenge to a debate from its friend across the river, the Liberty High School. The subject n-amed by Liberty was, Resolved, Th-at the United States senators should be elected by a direct vote of the peo- ple. As Central was challenged, it was al- lowed the choice of sides. The affirmative 'was chosen. Every one in the school had the privilege of contesting, and on the night of the preliminaries there were six boys and two girls ready to do their best. Out of these, three were selected: Charlie Byers, Moxie Frischer and Alexander Bilderbeck. As the preliminaries were just one week before the debate, the three boys had a good, hard week's work to do. They were forced to obtain new ma- terial, make out new briefs, and divide their points. Mr. Rush, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wright ably assisted them, and by the time the train was ready to start the boys thought they might bring victory back with them, so well had they practiced and worked. They left Kansas City at five o'cloek, April 29, and arrived in Liberty in time to take a fine drive through the town, with Mr. Hamilton as their host. I The debate took place in the opera. house. The pro- gramme opened with an invocation, which was followed by a song by the Liberty High School Glee Club, with the F i' 5 2'L -.,. N .lg 6 . w :L K ,.,,'i':' g --,,.,z,9- accompaniment of the high school orchestra. Mr. Byers of Central opened the debate with five strong arguments, well delivered, and very convincing. Mr. Bell of Liberty then spoke for the negative, refuting none of Mr. Byers' points. Mr. Frischer of Central followed with four more strong arguments. He was answered by Mr. Sewall of the negative. Mr. Bilderbeck then proved that the new method would be -of advantage to the Sen-ate, State Legislature, and to the people. Then Liberty's best man, Mr. Froh- man, answered Mr. Bilderbeck. The time Liberty had for rebuttal was used in telling the judges how weak Central's arguments were, and that they were mere assertions, in- stead of arguments. Mr. Byers followed with rebuttal and an en-tire summary of Central 's points-twelve in number. The decision given was two votes for the negative and one for the affirmative. The debating team went home Sunday, sad-der but wiser boys. . This is the first time Central has tried her hand at de- bating. The experience gained was well worth the effort. As this was her first effort at debating in public, she did very well to gain one vote of the judges. The three mem- bers of the team had never debated in public before as a team, whereas the Liberty te-am had been established for two years. They won a victory over Manual last year. By next year Central will have more experience, and then will have another trial at Liberty. Moxie Fnlsorrna, i F II FACULTY Department of Fine .Hrts I Deceased PRESTON K. DILLENBECK Elocution .

Cen- tral, for instance, at present, under the tuition of Miss Crowder, is giving instruction to one hundred fo-rty art students, all 'of whom are exceedingly interested in the study, and are anxiously looking forward to the day when their strenuous efforts will have gained for them a place among the noted artists of the world. Undoubtedly not all of these ardent pupils will ascend the ladder of celebrity to its height. But should failure and disappointment prove to be their lot, the trained eye, skillful hand and exact per- ception between discord and harmony.would be the profits netted by even the least talented. Even the novice feels athrill of delight upon first entering the drawing room, for the models, ranging from a little plaster-cast goose to a life-sized statue, are a source of admiration as well as instructionQ When the amateur begins drawing with charcoal or pencil, he little- dreams that in a comparatively short time he will be competent to make a likeness of beautiful Diana or the young Augustus, later, to use water colors successfully, and finally to work with oil points. The credit for such rapid improvement- is largely due to the diligence of the pupil, but it must 'be taken into consideration that the teacher, also, does her utmost to develop the talent of her students. Nothing would be lacking in our art room had not recently a higher power bereaved us of our beloved and thoroughly artistic professor, Mr. Weber. This excellent artist seemed to have concentrated his whole mind on in- teresting the pupils and improving the facilities for art in the Central High School. Truly may we say' of this well- esteemed man, Gone, but not forgotten. BESSIE WNTOLF, '08, OUR .HRT ROOM FROM OUR .HRT DEPARTMENT ' 5 ff H I7 R A X 1 Wi. f 1 QNX , ff' X XX X N X M! Q i ff ..-... ,.

The years of study, although filled with the rich pleasure attendant upon Ep conscientious labor, more often than not, cul- minate in disappointment and apparent fail- ure. It is necessary that the person who enters ' upon the study of music should hold in mind certain vital principles. If he honestly lives up to these principles, then that study, while it may never accord fame, will, beyond a doubt, assure success-the success that is worth while, whose most essential attribute is satisfaction, untinged by disappointment or regret. First of all, for the study of music, there must be a receptive mind, one that, though it does not, at first, ap- preciate Wagnei' or his Parsifal, still is not unwilling to recognize the possibilities which are now beyond him and to follow even afar off an enthusiastic leader until those possibilities are within his grasp. The candidate for success, therefore, must cultivate a keen enjoyment of the best of music, he must determine that he will be satisfied with nothing but the best as he shall receive it from the testimony of cultured instructors. With this thought in- spiring his efforts, he will ever persevere, earnestly apply- ing his energies to grasping and assimilating the most beau- tiful and sublime in music, without despising, meanwhile, the labor necessary for perfect attainment. But what is the most beautiful and sublime in music? ls it an educated understanding of harmony and thorough bass? Is it the power to execute, with the utmost precision, Jul I i xi fl V ih l 1 tillllllll the world's exquisite masterpieces? Is it the ability to sing a melody so that it shall satisfy all the requirements for accurate rendition? No. It should be a comfort, and it truly is, to the sincere lover of music to know that, even though he lacks the power of adequate expression of his emotions, there is, from the very fact of his love, a glorious prospect that he may yet achieve the highest in music. To perform the mental and physical gymnastics of music is, indeed, a rare accomplishment. Infinitely better, how- ever, is that noble ability to attain and apply the vitalizing spirit of music, the spirit which cheers' and comforts and sympathizes, which is able to discern the ever-present, though often undiscovered melodies of the universe-in the heart of a flower, in the busy market place, in the bosom of a friend. Heart melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter. The privilege of becoming masters of these masterful soul melodies is the common heritage of all mankind. At- tainment and use in the every-day life, of this atmosphere fthe truly important phase in music studyb becomes, then, alike the aim and the reward of every conscientious musi- cian. In truth, the study of music is an essential factor in the development of character, not so much in music that enriches the powers of the occasional genius, as the ac- companying spirit of music that generates within the hearts of all, a keener love of the good and beautiful in life. Then, if at last, no world-wide tribute rewards the struggle in pursuit of the former, the contented joy which proclaims the accomplishment of the latter is sufficient recompense for all the labor spent.

After a careful exam- A37 Q5 ination of a large number of applicants, the -Q Central Choral Club was organized with a I membership of twenty-two, of which number eleven were in last year's club. We were not fully organized until after Christmas, but since then We have been working our best. This year, for the first time, it was not only from the music classes that the girls were chosen, but also from the school at large. In doing this, there were girls who knew very little of the art of singing or of the theory of music. Those, however, who are in the classes are deriving great benefit and pleasure from their work. In the first year ear-training, theory and sight-reading are pursued. The second year, breathing and tone-production are added to these, and some of the mysteries of harmony are solved. Being un- able to have a piano .player this year, we could not enjoy the study of musical history, biography, and the operas, as did the pupils last year. This is very much regretted by the students, but we hope to be able to take up the history course again next year. In singing we try to in- terpret our songs with a true, artistic finish, seeking al- ways correct pitch, clear enunciation and good phrasing. But, although pupils were taken from the whole school, we have had very good results, for we have been received with favor and applause in Assembly I-Iall as well as at Manual. We selected for our special program there The Garden of Flowers, which was enthusiastically received by the school. ' But we must not pass on without thanking Mrs. Voor- hees for her deep interest in the Choral Club. We all fully appreciate the work she has done for us, and know that without her great enthusiasm and unaceasing labor We could have accomplished nothing. HELEN WADSWORTH, Post Graduate. OFFICERS.

THE MANDOLIN CLUQ 'THE CENTRAL MHNDOLIN CLUB H N the year nineteen hundred and one, several Centralians formed a wire tickling aggregation which they called the Central Mandolin Club, but hardly anyone ever heard of it save them- f J selves. Since then, several more clubs have 4 been organized but without more than moderate Ei XX success until the present most wonderful bunch , of string tantalizers appeared above Central's 'Xi - horizon. it The first club was composed entirely of boys, but' the next, year this plan was not deemed advis- able so with the influence of what Kipling calls a rag, and ya bone, and a hank of hair the interest in it deepened, and soon a small atom of musical ability made itself known. Under Mr. Graves' tend care and directorship, this was developed from year toxyear, until now there is certainly a genuine mandolin club and we are it. After trying the effect of the club 's tintinnabulations on the school a few times, and finding that no evil results followed, this truly wonderful organization -of musicians graciously allowed the public to hear some real music at the Christmas play, which, of course, could not have been presented without the club's generous assistance. The club 's next appearance was at a Martha VVashington social at the Central Presbyterian Church, where Cafter enjoying a delicious supperb the club gave those present such a musical treat as they had never before experienced. Then there was the school. Ah! Lucky school! Several times during the course of the year did the club condescend, to play for the school's benefit, and on one memorable 400021- sion the entire school, teachers, pupils, and visitors, sat entranced at the wonderful flow of melody for the entire assembly period. Mr. Coll finally succeeded in awaken- ing everyone in time for the next recitation. On several other occasions the club has appeared in public, as at the Franklin school, with much credit to itself and our school. Once they even had the temerity to invade Manual's do- main, and that they returned safely speaks well for the quality of the music.

It is a.nother demonstration of the Well-known X fact that when the pupils of our school under- take anything, they make it a success. The Work of the Orchestra has met the approbation of the faculty and students, as was proved by the very cordial reception given them upon their initial performance, on the twenty-fourth of March. Particularly fortunate have We been in keeping the same personnel and instrumentation throughout the year. At present there are five first violins, five second violins, a cornet, clarinet, flute, and piano. Owing to the ab- sence of a viola and 'cello, we have had the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett with those instruments. We have been handicapped by the Want of the brass instruments and drum, but We live in the hope that next yearis class may supply our needs. Under these circumstances it is only just to say of our able director, Mrs. Voorhees, that much time has been spent in the selection of music, because 0 the difficulties encountered in the small instrumentation of the Orchestra. She deserves much credit for her untir- 5l'lllll7Rll'ilaa.J ing efforts, and the appreciation for music which she has instilled into each of us, and for this standard she has maintained,- That it is never of any benefit to the player to study and perform poor music, and that We must never sacrifice in the quality of music chosen, or in the standard of the performance, although We may lack instruments to make just the desired effect. ' The personal benefit derived from belonging to an organization Where high standards are maintained in every particular is of immense value. Mrs. Voorhees insists upon correct and uniform bowing and accurate pitch. The concentration of thought required for precision in attack, tonality, time, rythmic flow and the observance of the dynamics, has broadened us musically beyond words. The instruction and practice to all playing orchestral in- struments is recommended, as Well as the mutual pleasure to be derived in improvement and progress. The soul of music slumbers in the shell Till waked and kindled by the master's spellg And feeling hearts, touch them but rightly, pour A thousand melodies unheard before. TXTYRTLE MOLI,E, '07.

For this it took consider- able practice, due to the fact that a great number of the boys of last spring had graduated 'and new boys had to be taught to play. Their next appearance was at the Liberty foot ball paraded the down town district advertising the game. It then marched to the field of battle, where the shriek of the fife and the rumble of the drum urged the boys on to victory. The same holds true of the St. Joseph game, for a St. Joseph b-oy attributed the defeat of their team to the no-ise that our drum corps made. The Drum Corps next appeared on Central day in the Assembly Hall, playing, Ain't it a shame and Poor Manual. The next morning Cwhich was the Manual- Central dayj the Drum Corps rode in a tally-ho through the down town streets playing and shouting the songs of Old Central. Our organization now has nine fifers, six drummers and one bass drummer. It did not play at any of the games this spring, but next fall it hopes to have a large membership and play out of town as well as at the games at home. FRANKLIN DANNAHOWER, '06. game.

ELOCUTION I ES, as I was saying, he can ruin any literature Q by his bad reading, said a lady several years ago. A 'vu Why, mamma, dear, is he an elocution- N, ist? asked her little daughter. f lg ' Q Since this incident times have vastly T Q., , Z, changed. Nowadays, one hears the wonderful J y works of art interpreted by the reader as the 2 0 , - .Q virtuoso interprets the music of great composers. ' ' ' A Nothing has brought about this change so much as elocution in the high schools of the country. There, pupils have been trained not only to appreciate good reafl- ing, but to do some expressive work themselves, and here, as in other things, Central has not failed in leadership. Many are the laurels she has won in the old fields, and this year finds her essaying a new venture-the Public Speaking Class. As my readers are no doubt familiar with the other classes 'in the course, this paper will deal with this successful departure. To begin, its object is to fit Young America for the part it must play hereafter in public life. How many men would be glad to have the ability to give ably their convictions before an audience! How greatly would this country be benefited if every man could do so, because then the public would not so often be led astray by the sophistries of a few who can speak welll This class then prepares young men and women to stand firmly on their feet before a gathering of any size and state their views in a logical manner, and, incidentally, helps them form their opinions. With this aim in view, the work of the class has been divided into three sections: First, extemporaneous speeches, second, debates and third, orations. The ex- temporaneous speeches are a little different from what is generally thought concerning them. The matter is care- fully prepared, but not memorized, and they aregiven no set phrasing. The speaker generally uses no notes. Some- times, however, five-minute speeches are given on any sub- ject suggested by the class, and these are often surprisingly good. In the. choice of subjects the field is broad and the prepared extemporaneous talks are on anything from ch-aracter sketches to g-old mining, with real specimens. The debates are also very good, and the arguments wax quite heated. The rules of debating etiquette are observed and the debates are very helpful. Not only is the manner of speaking learned, but the matter. It is really surprising how much information the students gather, and they are not the only ones benefited, for the audience, too, acquire welcome knowledge. Many a pupil has thus learned that there are two- sides to every question, and his whole out- look on life has been broadened. The work of the orations is just commencing, and it is too soon Cwhen this goes to pressb to- prophesy much con- cerning them, but if they attain the standard of the ex- ternporaneous speeches and debates they Will certainly be excellent. Central has been the pioneer high school in this ex- periment. Colleges have th.em, but high schools have been afraid to try them heretofore. Central has demonstrated that it can be done successfully. 'Many teachers have no- ticed -and spoken ab-out the improvement in the recitations of pupils in the public speaking class, thus proving that it has an early practical value. So Central has had an ex- cellent showing in its elocutiwon department this year. But before we forget, let us not fail to mention the one neces- sary part of a class of this kind-a capable instructor. Under Mr. Dillenbeck's guidance we have been enabled to do wonders To him the class are indebted for their training, which We feel is certainly fortunate for the pupils of Central High School .

OLLOWING the example of last year, the girls have adopted the plan of having regular month- ly meetings. By this Way We have not only heightened the interest in the association itself, J but even those who are not members of the as- sociation have manifested a deep interest in the girls' teams. It certainly seems unfortunate that girls who are graduating, and especially i ' those Who initend entering college, do not take more interest in the athletic work. This is not due, We believe, to the associ-ation's. lack of interest in its own affairs, but is prompted by the hesitancy which the members feel in appearing in public. If the girls Who are contemplating higher education only realized what a handicap they incur in not becoming familiar with girls' sports, We are positive they Would be among the first to join our ranks. Unlike our brother association, thus far We have only promoted one athletic enterprise-that of basket ball. While our victories have easily counterbalanced our de- feats, nevertheless tour course has not been the straightest during the past year. Kansas City, Kan., Manual, West- port and Miss BigeloW's have met defeat at our hands, and many other games Which We are confident of Winning have been arranged for our schedule. Although Miss Mor- gan, Who has the direction of all the girls' athletics in Cen- tral, has been greatly handicapped by our inadequate gym- nasium, we hope to be among those favored by the School Board in the distribution of the coming year's funds. Here We would like to speak a good Word for all kinds of girls' athletics. While of course it would be foolish for us to advocate track Work as a kind o-f girls' sport, neverthe- less the larger Eastern institutions take up this kind of Work with enthusiasm. It is healthful, very exciting and not so dangerous as many other sports, and for this reason alone it certainly seems that it ought to be strongly sup- ported. In closing, let us all cheer for the G. A. A. and hope for a long and prosperous career. D. O. O. QQQQQQ F' OFFICERS BOY'J ATHLETIC .HJJOCIATION ' Qotton! Minton, Morley, Mr, Peters .

BO YJ, .HTHLETIC ASSOCIATION HE season of 19104-5 is, in many respects, the greatest in the history of the as- sociation. The cups and trophies won by the ever-victorious blue and white teams for the association has necessi- tated the building of a suitable trophy case. This case rests in the main hall, and is fast filling with pigskins, photo- graphs and silverware. The membership of the association has grown rapidly until it now numbers eighty. The seas-on has been one of great financial success. as well as one of victory. The foot ball team re- tired this season, holding the championship of the Missouri Valley. The basket ball team, of course, did likewise. The base ball team has some excel- lent material, and if interest is kept up they in- tend to win another trophy. The track team h-as made an excellent start, and promises to clean up everything in the Missouri Valley. Th-e school at large has realized the fact that enthusiastic school spirit helps ia team to a con- siderable degree in winning a game.

The association was not only the recipient of many trophies, but it has adopted a new constitution which will promote very ma- terially the growth of the association. This was adopted on February 18, 1905. The purpose of the Athletic Association is to promote culture and athletics, to foster and pro- mote a strong school spirit, to strive for and maintain the glory of Old Central. In this we need the assistance of all the students. They have come forward on many occasions and helped us win the day, but we want all the boys in grand Old Central to enroll their names on the books of the association. Many of the members leave us at the close of this term, and we Want new mein- bers to fill their places. It is not enough, how- ever, to jo-in the association, but all members should attend every meeting. It is in this way, only, that the association will achieve its worthy purpose. W.

When school opened the outlook was not very favorable, par- ticularly on account of the vacancy in the posi tion lof quarter-back. But we were rather for- tunate in having an excellent coach in the per- son of Mr. Harry B. Allen, who soon developed some startling players. Among these were tllat wonderful little quarter-back, J. K. Lewis,'and his equally spectacular brother, Bertless, the full-back. Much credit for the success of the team is due Captain Beck, whlo held the position of right end. He was ably assisted in running the team by Harry F. Cotton, the star half-back of the Missouri Valley. When Central found the opponents' line almost im- pregnable, the quarter-back would always, as a last resort, call a signal for a play through left tackle, and the oppor- tunity awaited the runner for a spectacular play and a sure gain. The man who was responsible for these holes was Harold McKibben, the captain of next year's team. Dave Olin, the left half-back, proved to be a foot ball player of remarkable ability. More than once he kept our record clean by his remarkable sprinting qualities. He was also responsible for many of our scores by his long runs. The team this year lost one out of nine games played. This game was with Topeka. In that game five of the regulars, including the captain, were out on account of dares - Leif , rf ' 2, ' is .fda Q e' . l Q ' In F- ' g l P . .-. ': ,,...g:j+w ' gf ' ' . . p -. . injuries. The chances were, however, that Topeka would have suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Cen- tral team if the return game had been played. The vic- tories over Lathrop and Liberty were decisive, notwith- standing the crippled condition of the team. On October 29, however, the regulars got in the game, and St. Joseph suffered defeat at our hands by the score of ll to 0. But it was on November 5 that Central was to spring the greatest surprise of the season. Manual had been advertised, during the season, as having the great- est team in the history of that school, but whenthe Blue and White team, before the greatest high school band of rooters ever assembled in the West, marched poor Manual up and down the field to the tune of 28 to 0, Manual de- cided that Central is still in her prime. The three remaining games :of the season were won with ease, and the total score stands: Central, 131, oppo- nents, 32. Manager Graves proved to be thoroughly capable of filling his position, and it will be a great help to the team of 1905 if h-e is reappointed. Mr. Bonnifield assisted the coach very materially in making the team a successful one, and the team was indebted to him for sonle of their ground- gaining plays. The Athletic Association showed its appreciation of the tea.ln by presenting each of the lT1GlllbClTS with a beauti- ful white sweater marked with the association UC.

When a call was made for foot ball candidates, a large number put in an appea.r- ance. After the weeding-out process had 'fs been carried on for a time, enough men for two teams and substitutes still remained' Charge of the second team was given to Mr. Touton. Although coach of' the second team, he is en- titled to a share of the credit gained by the first team and their coach. Through his efforts the sec- ond team was kept together and the first team always had a plucky squad of second team men to go against in their daily practice. A great deal of credit is due the second team for coming out and taking the medicine administered toithem. p Games for the second team with Argentine and Kan- sas City, Kan., High School teams were arranged by Mr. Hamilton. These games were played at, times when they were not needed in practice. The first game with Argen- tine was played on the Paseo, but resulted in ia victory for Argentine. The score was 6 to 0. This was due tothe lack of a leader and team work.

The next game was very easily won by the boys from the Kansas City, Kan., team by the score of 16 to 0. The backs on the second team were without a doubt up to the first team standard insevery point but weight. Brown and Deatherage split honors at end runs and were alwa.ys ground gainers. Langworthy played half until, through the non-appearance of the quarter, he was put in that position, which he filled the rest of the season. Mc- Cubbin, although small, sh-owed plenty of nerve as full- back and always made his gains. The ends were exception- ally good. Tufts and Austin were fast and full of ginger. The tackles, Pike and Saunders, made good their places early in the season, while Wliite showed up well later on. Kaynor and Haas filled the places -at guard, Shafer was fine at center. Although it was 'his first year he handled the ball with a skill that put the quarter and backs at case. Wallace, Martin, Cook, Wa.ddel and Will.ianisi show up well on the line and were always ready when called upon. Mer- vine and Geary both did very good work at quarter. AAs has been the custom, the second team was taken to St. Joe with the first. The boys expected to play, but no game could be arranged. DAYTON LANGWORTHY, '05.

Hamilton, Brown, Culbertson, , Morley, Shafer Cotton, Minton, Langworthy- BASKET BALL ENTRAL has another victorious team, and that is the basket ball team. The boys began work at the close of the foot ball season and practiced faithfully, working up to a high point of eX- cellence, a system of team work that fairly baffled our opponents. This team work in a measure made up for the lack of experience in in throwing high goals-the only place where the 1 team had a weakness. The first game was played at the Young Men's Christian Association court against the Y. M. C. A. Reserves. Central lost by one point. The next game was played at Lee 's Summit against the strong B. O. C. team. Our team work fairly dazzled the Lee's Summit boys, and Central won by the score of 21 to 20. The team on January 18 met defeat at the hands of the Independence A. C., but the boys redeemed themselves by defeating Vlfestport on January 27 by the score of 24 to 14, and on February 10 by the score of 113 to 12. On Feb- ruary 17 the team carried off the scalp of the Y. M. C. A. Reserves by the score of 31 to 28. we were delighted this year to hear that Manual was organizing a basket ball team. Our manager, Mr. Hamil- ton, immediately sent aichallenge to Manual, and games were arranged for March 3 and March 24. Manual won both these games by the score of 31 to 30. In these games the Central boys excelled in the fine points of the game, but the lack of experience in throwing high baskets lost the games for us. The Kansas City Athletic Club 's basket ball team, on March 27, began a series of three games, in Convention l-lall, for the championship of the world. Central and Q90 I Manual were invited to play for. the championship of the Missouri Valley. Central won the first and third games by the scores of 2A to 16 and 29 to 28. Manual succeeded in taking the second game by their usual one point. Of course Central won the cup, which was presented to the school on March 31 by President Vineyard of the Kansas City Athletic Club. These games closed the season, Cen- tral having 298 points and her opponents 200. Harry Cotton was easily the star of this year's team. He rarely missed a free throw and was an adept at dodging his man and making field goals. Howard Shafer is easily the best center of his class in this section. In every game he would invariably get the jump on his opponent, and there were but one or two games in which his opponent succeeded in scoring more points than he did. Harry Min- ton is rapidly developing into a forward of ability. His playing and goal throwing, at times, is spectacular. Dang- worthy, though handicapped in height, generally held his man to a goal or two. Morley played a good game at guard and was always at the right spot when most needed. Cul- bertson is ias yet new to the game, but will some day make as good a center as Central ever developed. Brown rarely missed a field goal, when the ball fell into his hands, He was, also, Ha sure shot on free throws. Much credit is due Mr. Hamilton for his patience and faithful work with the team, and a great deal of the suc- cess of the team is due to his coaching ability. I The Athletic Association has shown its appreciation of the team by presenting each member with a white jersey having a six-inch blue stripe, on which is placed thc association UC.

W'ith almost three months of hard practice un- ' der the direction of Mr. Hamilton to, raise its courage to the sticking pointf' Central went forth to bring in victory for the Blue and White. Expec- tations were more than exceeded, the highest hope was raised even higher and under the skillful management of Miss Edna McBride as captain and the efficient playing of Misses Elsie McPherson, Vera Philips, Lucy Dunny, Louise Henry, Eleanor Canny and Caroline Lewis the team de- feated every organization which dared to oppose it. Like our brother teams, it was with ease with which we defeated Manual in two games. I-lad we lost every other game we played during the year, this would have fairly evened mat- Glfa ' W if BALL TEAM p ters, but it was not so, far from it. It may sound incredi- ble to say it, but we have as yet to lose a game. Our schedule has been anything but easy, as games have been played with Kansas City, Kan., Lee 's Summit, the crack team of Independenceuand Miss Biglow's school team, and every one has met defeat at our hands. It is very notice- able how so few Central girls take any interest in the ath- letic enterprises of their sex. Why this is the case, we have never been able to fathom, but many claim, and in all probability there is some essence of truth in it, that the lack of interest is wholly due to our inadequate gymna- sium. We hope, however, if our new gym materializes in the coming year, to excite far more interest in girls' athletics than has ever been manifested before. Indeed, -all kinds of girls' athletics were unknown as far west as Missouri a few years ago. But nevertheless, with the finan- cial assistance of the school, the efficient coaching of Mr. Hamilton, and the kindly feeling of all, we hope to have a team which will equal if not excel any team in the Missouri valley for next year.

The cap- tain of this year's team, Harry Minton, is with- out doubt the greatest hurdle-r in high schools or colleges in this section of the country. Th-ere are many underclassmen, that promise to be track men of ability in the future, namely, Mitchell, a freshman, in the hammer throw, Kaynor, a junior, in the long-distance runs, Parker and Mehornay in the pole vault and high jump, and Doug- lass, a junior, in the sprints. The first 'track event of the season was an invitation relay and dash event against Manual in Convention Hall on the night of March 17. Our boys won with ease, bring- ing one more trophy to help fill our case. The cup was presented to the school on March 24 by Harry Minton. On April 19 the annual inter-class meet was held on the Parade. The seniors won with 61 points. The juniors made 55, sophomores 3 and the freshmen 7. tralever produced, Harry F. Cotton, captain: On April 22 our boys sallied down to Lexington, Mo., and defeated the cadets of the Wentxvoieth Military Acad- emy by the score of 77 to 40. The star of the day was Harry Minton, who won 21 of the 77 points. The track team on the following Friday, April 28, went up to Law- rence, Kan., to meet the Kansas high schools in a. track meet. Central came out second in this meet, winning 25 points. Kansas City high schools, however, won 70 points of the possible 117, leaving 47 points for all the Kansas high schools. May 6 the Central track team, accompanied by 300 rooters, went to Columbia, Mo., to compete in a track meet held under the auspices of the Missouri University. Cen- tral again won second place, making 23 points. The meet was a great success and the Missouri University authorities should be commended for the admirable way they handled the many high school excursionists that flocked there on May 6. May 13 the track meet with Manual was postponed. Mr. Hamilton, the manager of the team, deserves great credit for the sch-edule he has arranged for the track team. No track team of Central ever had the advantages of com- peting against such teams as the team of 1905. Mr. Gordon has been of great assistance to Mr. Hamilton in coaching the team.

On the horizontal bar, Lawrence Pike has developed wonderfully and rivals Haas in his stunts. VVaddel and Slickter have been working hard in perfecting some com- bination mat stunts. Every meeting the boys are put through the stunts on the mats. All are required to try them, until they become able to do them. These consist of rolls, snaps, head and handsprings. After this they take up the specialties that they are trying to perfect. DAYTON LixNGvvoR,rriY, 'O5. IQQQQQQI 4 , THE RELJIY' TEAM . MT. Gordon. Harry Minton. Mr. Hamilton. J. K. Lewis.

This was due in part, no doubt, to the personality of the reigning king, Frederic IV, who, at this time, late in the thirteenth centuryg was greatly beloved and trusted by his sub- jects. Frederic had two sons, Conrad and Manfred, who had from boyhood been devoted comrades. Being well matched, both in learn- ing a.nd in feats of skill, their tastes were alike, and so, during their youthful years, they were constantly together. When their many lessons were finished, they were accustomed to roam around the palace gardens, hav- ing Iianzia, the daughter of a Lombard earl, generally as companion. She was a bright, -sunny child with dark hair and that clear, beautiful complexion peculiar to the Sicil- ian people. ' Conrad at the age of seventeen was sent away to the Continent that he might better fit himself for the dif- ficult position awaiting him as successor to his father, the emperor. 2 Three years later he returned unexpectedly. It was twilight and the sun was just setting in the West over the shimmering surface of the lake. Here and there graceful swans bent their slender necks toward the water. On a marble bench almost entirely surrounded by trees was seated a young girl, slender and beautiful, her white robe caught at the belt with a golden girdle, her dark hair en- twined with strings of pearls. At her feet sat a youth, with his earnest dark eyes fixed up-on his young com- panion. The heir-apparent, Conrad, stopped amazed at the sight: then recognized the actors of this little drama, and for the first time felt a passionate jealousy toward his brother rise in his heart. From that day he loved Lanzia, from that day he strove to win her with all the force of his impetuous nature. As his father became more powerful, Conrad in- creased in power and sent his young brother away into the farthest part of the kingdom. All the forces which he could bring to bear were used and finally the heartbroken girl succumbed to the inevitable, for she was led to be- lieve that Manfred was lost forever. Soon after the marriage of Conrad and Ifanzia, Con- rad was called away to settle a dispute between Italy and his na.tive land, and the bridegroom, naturally fearful of consequences when Manfred should return to- his father 's court, took his young wife with him. During their absence his aged father died, and Man- fred was appointed regent during the absence of his elder brother. Pope Innocent IV was hostile to Manfred and instigated many nobles in Apulia to revolt. Manfred, al- though but poorly equipped with troops, headed them him- self and led them to victory. And all this he was willing, nay, anxious to do for the brother who of late had served- him but ill. A gloom settled upon him wh-ich was only raised when two years afterwa.rds Lanzia, with her infant son, Conradin, returned to- Sicily on the death of Conrad. She possessed n-ow a more queenly beauty, enhanced as the years had passed. Again Manfred was appointed regent until his infant nephew sho-uld come of age. Again did the pontiff inter- fere with large forces at Foggia. Again did the valiant and brilliant soldiery of Manfred lead them on to vic- tory. This time no melancholy held him in its clutches. He saw before him a brilliant life filled with triumphs. His authority was soon established over the whole king- dom. In triumph he returned--not to a palace devoid of love-but to a palace whose mistress Cfor he had estab- lished Iianzia as queen of the courtj would greet him with that true joy in his success for which he most longed. He returned late that evening just as the moon rose high over the battlements, touching all the grounds with its silvery light. There among the fragrant roses Lanzia sat with her child in her arms. Here Manfred sought her. Here he received his joyous welcome. Long they talked of the future while the child slept. Lanzia., I must tell you something which will grieve you, and me, for you must know that what brings sorrow to you must also pain me. It is no longer safe for Con- radin to remain in Sicily. The mother's arms clasped the child closer. The times are stormy. I have heard of a quiet place in Italy. There he can remain in safety under the care of his o-ld nurse until he is of age. More and more he persuaded her, and she, trusting in him implicitly, followed his judgment. But she and he had held the God of Love at bay too long. Too longln her heart cried that evening. Too longll' was the re- sponsive echo in his own! The avowal of his love for her was simple and straightforward, as were all his actions in life. Just as simply she returned his love. So the two were wedded, and that love which had suffered for years no-w burst into the perfect bloom of noonday-into that rich and beautiful love which outlives this world and looks only to completion in the next. The only fla.w in their perfect happiness was the ab- sence of the boy, whose place in his mother 's heart could n-ot be filled by another. One day while seated in the salon surrounded by her maids, the door opened and her husband entered, pale and trembling: , Dear Lanzia, he is dead! One shriek arose, and into that one cry went all a n1other's grief. She fell to the floor seemingly lifeless. On her recovery she found that her husband had been crowned king, for he was beloved by all his countrymen. The pontiff was at that time stopping near the same quiet place in Italy to which Conradin had been sent, when one day on his wa.y to chapel he was encountered by an old Woman who sought to speak to him, but was roughly pushed aside by the -attendants. The pope then bade them make way and the woman piteously besought him to listen: Then she told him of young'Conrad'in, of whom she had had charge, who had been falsely reported dead to the regent-now king of Sicily. The pontiff's bright black eyes sparkled. 'fThis shall be attended to, and with a wave of his hand he dismissed her. The pontiff had long heard bad tales of Manfred, wrongly interpreted by the attendants at the Vatican. An embassy was sent to Sicily, telling Manfred that his nephew lived, and demanding that he re- linquish the throne. This Manfred refused to do, as the times were too- perilous, and he feared the loose government of the advisers, who would help direct the government. He yielded thus much, however-upon his death he prom- ised to bequeath the crown to Conradin. The pope was angered at this response and gave the crown to Charles, Count of Anjon of France. Then the subjects of Sicily loyally followed Manfred, when he went to fight the forces of the pope. The decisive struggle occurred at Benevento. For weeks the king had carefully planned his tactics, his soldiers were carefully drilled, so he felt confident of suc- cess. But when the battle took place the Apulians took to flight, overcome by the overpowering numbers of the Count of Anjou. Humiliated and despairing, rather than be captured, he5valiantly plunged into the thickest of the con- flict, only to be knocked from his horse, dying from many wounds. His followers hastily buried his body under a. heap of stones, but the pope had the body placed on the frontier in unconsecrated ground. There day after day the queen was seen weeping for her young husband Cfor at his death he was still in his thirtiesb. Even her child, restored at last, could not en- tirely comfort her, and before many montlis her soul went forth on its last long journey to find rest. ATARIAN Gfxolc, '05, 'THE GROLUTH OF FEUDHLISM N order to understand any movement towards the establishing of a new institution, we must consider two things-first, the condition of so- ciety which makes the new movement possible, and next, the customs and practices of society is to assume. l At that time, in the history of Westei'11 Europe, when the name of a crowned emperor M- at Rome could no longer keep in allegiance his vast domains, there grew up a substitute called feudalism. It was Ha. form of socialiancl civic gov- ernment based on land tenure. H Among the prevailing cus-toms of the society of that time, the two which naturally suggest themselves are the Precarium and the Patrocinium. The first is the case in which a land owner who could no longer protect himself went t.o a powerful noble a.nd gave him the land in fee simple. The lord, in return, allowed the donor to live upon the land, but reserved the right to withdraw this privilege at any time. The second is the case in which a man with no land went to the lord a.nd- placed himself under the protection of the noble. In return for protection the free- man did such work as he was able, that is, he helped to keep the castle in repair, to till the fields, and to fight his lord's battles. Although these forms suggest feudalism, yet the char- acteristic features of feudalism were lacking. In the first instance, it was land without service, and in the second it was service without land. The legal feature was also- lack- ing. There was not only no bond, expressed or implied, be- tween the state and the lords who practiced these customs, but the state had even declared them illegal. Now let us look at the prevailing condition of the so- ciety of the time. All Europe was in a state of unrest. Home was tottering to her fall. The barbarians were pour- ing over her northern borders' in swarms. Bands of de- gi which deternnne thc form the new institution 1 ,G 1 -2- 2-3 1x,i-5,323- serting soldiery, peasants in revolt and marauders of all sorts made the conditions still more unbearable. Now, since ma.n must have protection at any price, it naturally followed that those who could not protect themselves joined themselves to the lord who could. Thousands did this, and in time the lord became an independent, semi-detached fragment of the state. When the Franks entered Gaul they found these con- ditions existing there, as they did in all parts of the empire. As often happened, they did not abolish them, but after. a few alterations adopted the institution as their own. Nothing shows this better than the fusion of thc Roman ideas and the Comitatus, a purely German custom. The Comitatus was, to quote Adams, a purely personal relationship between the chief -and the young men in his tribe, of mutual service, protection and support voluntarily entered into on both sides. ln the Comitatus the man who wished to enter the service of his chief came to him and, kneeling, vowed to be his lord's man. After this the chief raised him to his feet and embraced him as a sign that the compact was considered an honor on both sides alike. X The Franks' entrance into Gaul was the crisis of feudalism, for the absolute ,monarchies such as Charle- mange and many of the Frankish kings maintained was incompatible with feudalism. However, the kings legal- ized it and, with the exception that the state now recog- nized them, the practices remained much as they were under the empire. But it was in the time of Charles Martel that feudal- ism took its great step forward. How it came about was something like this: The S-aracens were overrunning Southern France and were advancing steadily northward. These Arabs, mounted on fast horses. would swoop down, killing, pillaging and burning everything before them in their raids, and then escape before the peasantry could arm and overtake them. It was necessary, therefore, that the state have some kind of mounted soldiery. The ex- pense of equipping and maintaining it was so great, how- ever, that few peasants were able to afford it. The state was thus forced to help the people in arming themselves. This it could' do only by grants of land. But the royal lands having all been given away under former kings, the only thing left for Charles Martel to do was to seize the church lands. These lands he gave to those who had been loyal to him and could with the help of the grant keep one or more mounted soldiers in the field. Thus the con- dition of service in return for land and land as a reward for service were united. In other words, Charles Martel united the Patrocinium, Precarium and the Comitatus into one system. . The next step was the formation of a feudal 'army under Charlemange. NVith large wars constantly on hand, it became necessary to keep a large number of men con- stantly in the field. But the peasantry, on whom he relied for his recruits, could not afford to leave their crops for military duties. They deserted in such numbers that, al- though Charlemange exempted two out -of every three men from military duty, allowing the two at home to equip and maintain one in the field, the armies threatened to dis- appear. Then the king allowed the men to appear under the banner of their over-lord. The effect was immediate. Each lord wished to appear at the head of as large a body of peasantry as possible, and so the king's army was very much enla.rged. This order, however, took the direct com- mand of the forces away from the king and made it a feudal army. The third step in feudalisin was the acquiring of the right :to administer justice. In the larger fiefs this right was probably a usurpation, but in the smaller ones it took place in a different way. It probably started with im- munities. These were permits or privileges which made the owner of the fief a srtate officer and which exempted the fief from the authority of all other state officers. In this way the fief was freed from all jurisdiction of the courts, theking alone having greater power than the owner of the fief. 'I have 'tried in these few paragraphs to give those causes which effected the rise of the feudal system. It arose first in the private and illegal practices of the old empire. The lack of security and protection due to ex- isting circumstances and failure ofthe authorities to over- come them caused the people of the time to adopt these measures and, with the help of time and experience, to change them into the most powerful. political factor of me- diaeval times.

C., about the time of the corn's coming into ear, as Thucydides quaintly puts it, a fleet of Athenian ships was hastening rf: northward along the western coast of Greece gg to attack a Spartan fleet already arrived at X Corcyra. On board one of these ships, but not Greece can boast of. This man was Demos- thenes, not the orator of whom the world has ' heard so much, but the ill-fated general whose history is less known. ' if in command, was one of the ablest generals that . X, So eager were the Athenians to reach their destination that they refused to stop at Pylos and fortify it, as Demos- thenes advised, though they had been authorized to do so if he should deem it expedient. Fortunately, a storm drove the fleet into that port. Again Demcsthenes endeav- ored to persuade the generals to fortify the place, as stone and timber were abundant, and the.place naturally a strong fort and unoccupied. It was also an excellent station for incursions into Sparta. But Demosthenes argued in vain, the generals could not be persuaded and he despaired of accomplishing his cherished plan. Fate favored him again, however, as continued inclement wea.ther keeping the fleet in the harbor, the soldiers voluntarily set about fortifying the place. In six days the interior wall nearest the main- land was finished. Then the Athenians left Demosthenes with five ships to complete the work and protect it. The Spartan army was at that time ravaging Attica, but, on hearing of the movements of Demosthenes, returned home and hastened to Pylos. Sixty Spartan ships from Corcyra, having escaped the Athenian fleet, also arrived at Pyl-os, but Demosthenes discovered the approach of the Spartans in time to send two of his ships to notify the eonnnanders of the Athenian fleet to bring him aid. The situation of Demosthenes was critical and seemed almost hopeless, but he drew up his three small triremes under the fortifications and enclosed them in a stockade. He successfully held his position for tw-o days, when the arrival of an .Athenian fleet, coming to his aid, not Qnly resulted in the defeat of the Spartans, but also, eventually, in the capture of a Spartan force on the island of Spac- teria. Thus was the bold undertaking of Demosthenes bril- liantly and effectively accomplished and thus proved more advantageous to Athens than was expected even by Demos- thenes himself. The whole exploit proved the genius of Demosthenes, his quickness in grasping a situation and his cleverness in carrying out his plans. But, after all, Cleon reaped the glory of the victory, the politician and dema- gogue plucked the laurel wreath from the soldier's brow. The same keenness in discerning the possibilities -of a situation was again demonstrated by this general when, in 413 B. C., he arrived at the great city of Syracuse with re- inforcements from Athens. The Athenian army under Nicias had suffered two crushing defeats, one on land and one on sea. These misfortunes had discouraged and de- m-oralized the Athenians so greatly that when Demosthenes arrived the army was no more than a shadow of its former N F ' -2 ' ll self. But with the MNC' intuitive decision of , SYLEAEHSE l . a great general, De- Wl N l '- 'W mosthenes saw that 8 U Epipolae was the 0 key to Syracuse, and that if he did not gain possession of it all hopes of victory would be lost. Ac- cordingly he made a ' hurried night attack ' on the outworks at Epipolae. CSee C on mapj .Al Ge .Q af, N Et 5 mx? I imdb - K .. 'om Q d x k Y? . .av , I d aux, I f avi J: fl, 5 lf' .

Thi-s defeat was the decisive event of the siege. The Athenians struggled afterwards only to protect them- selves from the hands of the avenging Syracusans. A series of sea fights followed, in which the Athenian ships were totally destroyed or captured. What were the Athenians to do? There was but one thing left'-that was retreat! It was a heartrending scene indeed, Leaving behind them the dead, unburied, the sick and wounded, uncared for, discouraged, despairing, they began the fatal retreat. The generals perceiving the depressed condition of the army, passed along the ranks and encouraged them as much as was possible under such circumstances. They marched in the form of a hollow square, the division of Nicias taking the lead, while that of Demosthenes followed. After five days' fighting in' vain to get away to Catana, the weary, starving Athenians, leaving their campfires burning, in the night, stole away towards the southwest, hoping to find shelter among the Greek cities. They reached the shore at daylight, but at- tacks on the rear-guard were so annoying that Demosthenes was forced to pause and fight. On the other hand, Nicias and his division pushed forward so that soon the two di- visions were five miles apart. First the enemy, from pro- tected positions, surrounded Demosthenes and his forces on all sides. After an all-day's struggle Demosthenes was forced to surrender, the Athenians giving up their arms and their resources on condition that they should not be put to- death either by torture, imprisonment or starvation. Thus was shattered the fortune of Demosthenes, and thus sank forever the glory of Athenian prestige. Two days later the army under Nicias was surrounded and captured practically without terms. Nicias and De- mosthenes were put to death in cold blood by the cruel Syracusans. The world has not forgotten the brilliant but unprin- cipled Alcibiades who planned and instigated the expedi- tion, but much less should be forgotten the -sorrowful fate of Demosthenes, the brilliant strategist, the sagacious gen- eral, and the true patriot, whose patience, energy and cour- age wrested from difficulties and dangers, victory and glory fo-r Athens at Pylos, and whose genius was over- whelmed at Syracuse only by the mistakes and stupidity of his superior officers and by the demoralized spirit of the Athenian army. He was a victim to 'his countrymen 's mistakes, and a martyr to Athenian democracy. NIAURINE lllifxucanius DYER, '06. THE GREEK' .HND THE R'OM.HN JUDICIAL J'Y'J',TEM HE Greeks and the Romans were without doubt of the same race. Their ancestors sprang from that powerful branch of the Aryans which in prehistoric times came out of the East and overran Asia Minor, Greece, Italy and thelother lands bordering on the Mediterranean. They ical characteristics. They beth possessed a sturdy sense of independence, a strong love of liberty and a great genius for government. Notwithstanding their common origin, their later de- velopment produced peoples of many radically different traits. In art, drama., philosophy and other lines the Greeks far surpassed the Romans. In perhaps no field is this divergence more pronounced than in the judicial sys- tems which they devised. In the. Greek state the people met and had a direct part in making and enforcing their laws. In Rome the gradual tendency was the other way. More and more all powers became centralized and the share of the individual in active administration grew less and less. Everything was for the welfare of the Republic. This difference between the two peoples is shown both in their methods of making and in constructing their courts. Since at Athens the Greek democracy and institutions attained their highest development, her laws and courts may properly be compared with those of Rome. Athenian law was a. slow growth, continually aiming for justice and equality to the citizen. As with all other nations, the laws of the Greeks in their earliest beginnings were but unwrit- ten customs, harsh and cruel for the most part, the knowl- edge of which was the exclusive property of the elders and Eupatrids. In course of time they were codified and soft- ened to the needs of a democratic people. Indeed in Cleisthenes' constitution, 508 B. C., one of the principal features, furthering the democratic idea, granted citizen- ships to all free inhabitants of Attica. It also preserved ,WC X! I' . . . L. .' A were much alike in complexion and other phys- J 0 I 'I 0 ,,, ' . 1 the provision, introduced by Solon, that a connnittee chosen by the Ecclesia, the great popular assembly of thc citizens, might decree additional laws. Nevertheless, by 330 B. C., in the time of Demosthenes, the work of the select committee in framing new laws seems to have fallen into disuseg and laws were enacted directly by the Ecclesia. Such was the constant trend of purely democratic senti- ment in Athens. Rome likewise passed through the stage of custom and tradition and owed much to Servius Tullius and other law- givers. Many changes in the fundamental law were, how- ever, simply adjustments of the regulations of other states. This was notably true of the twelve tables, which in a sense cam.e from Greece, B. C. 452. But the Greek system, while contributing to the Roman idea, was in no proper sense ad-opted. On account of the long struggle between the plebeians and patricians, political equality was granted to all Roman citizens, but the people never, as at Athens, took direct part in executing the laws. It is a. striking contrast that at the very time when the ,constitution of Cleisthenes accorded the greatest amount of power to the people, the revolution which ended the reign of the kings at Home and brought in the Repub- lic, 509 B. C., did not greatly enlarge the powers of the people in making or directly en'lforc'.ing their laws. At that time the Areopagus or Athenian Senate exercised only a ,nominal power in the enactment of laws, while the Roman Senate actually decided what was to come before the Uomitia Curiata a.nd nothing became law without its sanc- tion. While the law-making po-wer of the Greek Senate drifted more and more to the people, that of the Roman Senate became almost entirely lodged in the Emperor. This difference between Greek and Roman was also shown in the trial of lawsuits. In Athens the people, act- ing as jurors, were always a part of the courts. The Ro- mans seem never to have known a jury trial. Wlien the .lllfillfiiflil power was taken from the consuls it was vested in the praetors. These praetors and all other judicial magis- trates seldom tried a case themselves, but appointed one 01' more judges for the purpose. All the evidence was brought before the judge, and he, from his knowledge of the law and interpretation of the testimony, rendered his judgment. Civil and criminal cases were conducted alike, except that in the latter the praetor himself presided. But how different it was in Athens! Here was an elaborately organized body of jurors, divided into ten sec- tions, each consisting of five hundred jurors or dicasts. Adding to these -one hundred chosen for each section as a reserve, the number of dicasts was, approximately, six thousand in all. To further show that each citizen regarded himself as the equal of his neighbor, they were each chosen from the body of Athenian citizens by lot. A number of the jurors varying from two hundred and one t-o the whole six thousand was appointed for each case. The celebrated trial of Socrates was before five hundred and fifty-seven jurors chosen in this way. VVhen the dicasts were as- sembled in their court house some one of the magistrates laid the point at issue before them. Arguments pro and con, with evi-dence of the witnesses, which had previously been taken and reduced to writing for use at the trial, were introduced, the law touching the point was read, and a majority vote of this immense jury was decisive. There was no appeal. Such was the trial of civil suits and certain I WX 1 N 1 classes of criminal cases. llfliurder and arson, however, were always brought before the Areopagus. Little or nothing of this strikingly democratic system remains to us, while the work of the Romans has been surprisingly enduring. This came about through the spreading of Roman civilization by conquest, by commerce, and by actual racial amalgamation with their vanquished peoples. The va.lue and stability of their system of juris- prudence, however, is proved by the fact that it has lived throughout the shifting fortunes of the later Roman Em- pire, and the constant political changes of the middle ages. Its enduring quality is no doubt due to its own excellence as well a.s to its preservation in the Code a.nd Pandects of Justinian. V Thus it has come about that Roman justice is prac- ticed in nearly every country of Continental Europe and is largely in force in Louisiana and the Spanish-speaking porti-ons of this continent. The life of the Greek system, from its earliest prehistoric beginnings to the conquest of Greece, B. C. 146, was probably not over six hundred years. That of Rome, however, endured for thirteen hun- dred years to the time of Justinian. If we count its life until today, as is only proper, the Roman system of juris- prudence may be said to have endured for twenty-six centuries. Its influence has been more far-reaching than that of any other judicial system devised by man. XVARD H. Coon, ,O6. XXI?

N accordance with the nature of the subject, those who follow in a line of scientific work are, as a rule, little known to the world at large. Lawyers, musicians, singers, actors, and men prominent in commercial and political affairs, are more often in the public eye. In past years, homage to members of these professions, and has unhesitatingly asserted that they, as fgr- . mer graduates, received impetus in their differ- ent directions through her influence. At the same time she has to a certain extent neglected those equally assured successes in the scientific world-this for several reasons. Briefly stated, they are these: the modesty and reserve usual in the man of science, the slo-w, steady, unexciting nature of his work, the narrow comprehension of its de- tails by the general public. This neglect is to be regretted on three scores-that the field is large and open to fruitful research owing to the numbers worthy of mention, that more than any other line of work it had for those numbers, its foundation in Central, and most of all, that to those in the school it would furnish encouragement and impulse to half-defined interest, at present vacillating between de- sire fer pursua.nce of the work and doubt as to the prac- ticability of it. For these reasons a record, necessarily incomplete, has been sought of those graduates who, receiving their start in the science departments of Central, have since met with varying degrees of success through the practical ap- plication of their knowledge to the scientific problems of today. Graduates of recent years have been chosen, both because they are better known among the student body to day, and because on that account the quickness of their success will be more apparent. r - f ,, .

THE MATCH T has often been said, and too often has the say- ing proved true, that the average specimen of mankind knows little of the things that touch him closest. Of course, a great deal of such knowledge is not absolutely necessary to exist- ence, as, in fact, what knowledge is? It would hardly alter a man's career to- know that the reason for scratching the head of a match is simply to generate heat, and not, as some sup- pose, to bring together in a mysterious way the chemicals which, in themselves, will cause a flame. But a knowledge of such things, aside from its intrinsic value, gives a man bearing among the men of the world, and helps to proved that old adage, UKnowledge is power. Fifty years ago the tinder box was as indispensable to household life as is the well-filled match case of today. Since that day when the first clumsy, sputtering and ill- smelling match scattered the fire over the person and everything in his vicinity, doiens and dozens of mixtures have been tried for match heads and hundreds upon hun- dreds of inventions have been patented for converting the logs of wood into two and one-half inch splits. These ma- chines have been so perfected that one firm alone now turns out forty-five billion matches annually, or about seven matches per day for every person in Missouri. The wood, pine or aspen, comes chiefly from Canada. In great logs it goes in the factory at one door on trucks and comes out the other in the shape of matches, neatly packed in boxes. Like needles, matches a.re manufactured in pairs. After the heavier machines have barked, pared, cut and planed the wood into five-inch blocks, they are run through the splitting machine. By endless belts they are conveyed from there to the clipper, a reversing de- Aii'eQ1,?EZsa'Zis-,' F if qv 'v ' . 1 ,G W , L L. .

Machine after machine was invented, patented and tested for this part of the work in order to get just the right amount of the mixture on ea.ch match, and to give to that mixture a rounded shape. Almost every factory has a special inven- tion of its own, which they keep secret and guarded. As to the color of the mixture itself, the oddest thing is true. Each locality- has its styles. The mining towns will accept nothing but black-headed matches. The French prefer the blue-helmeted warriors, while the Americans take the red coat as their style in the color of matches. Like in all similar trades, there has sprung up special types and queer designs of matches-the Vesuvians, ahard- wood match for smokers, the dainty little Vestas, like a miniature candle, and the safety match. The last-named variety, the kind that must be rubbed on its accompanying box to ignite, is only possible because match heads are com- posed of more than one chemical. Instead of these chem- icals being mixed, as in the ordinary match, the phosphorus is on the match box, while the chlorate of potash is on the match. When these are rubbed together, and then only, will a fl-ame be prodruced. The advantages of such a match are easily seen and were thought to be so great that Parlia- ment passed a law making its use obligatory in all public buildings. The match trade is but another of those great indus- tries that have been built up within a few years, because of the demands of civilization-a demand that never fails to set all the mechanics, inventors and discoverers on the alert. FRANK C. W1LxINsoN, '06, t PRO TOPLHJM UPERFICIALLY, animal and plant cells ap- pear to differ so widely, as to form and con- tent, that, at first sight, they seem to have so little in common as to make a comparison dif- ficult. But, on closer examination these ex- in one respect, i. e.: in the possession of a very ., important peculiar mixture of substances, which, though appearing sometimes in large, and sometimes in small quantities, is never wholly lacking. This substance is protoplasm. In all uni- cellular organisms, protoplasm appears as a viscid sub- stance, almost wholly colorless, and insoluble in water, in which medium it can be clearly distinguished. Minute granules, called microsomes, are always present in all pro- toplasms, an-d according to whether there are few or many of them, the protoplasm is more or less transparent. The granules are not regularly distributed, generally a more or less thin outer zone remaining free fro-m them. This clear external layer is known as ectoplasm and the dark, more granular internal zone as the endoplasm. As to the structure of prot-oplasm, no definite conclu- sion has yet been reached. At present there are at least four conflicting theories, known as the framework theory, foam or honeycomb theory, filament theory and granular theory. The framework theory is advocated by Fromman. Ac- cording to it, protoplasm consists of a fine network of threads, in the interstices of which the fluid is held. Roughly speaking, it is like a sponge. The microsomes are nothing but the points where the threads intersect. 4 Ei -all Qt' ceedmgly different cells are seen to be similar Butschli is the chief advocate of the foam or honey- comb theory. He succeeded in producing a delicate emul- sion by mixing olive oil and salt or cane-sugar. This con- sists of a groundwork of oil, containing many spaces, which are completely closed in and filled with watery liquid. These spaces resemble the cells of the honeycomb, and are separated from one another by the most delicate lamellae of oil, which refract the light more strongly than the watery fluid does. Butschli considers protoplasm to possess a. sim- ilar structure, and he bases his opinion on experiments of living objects. The filament theory was propounded by Flemming. Wliile examining a number of living cells he observed in protoplasm some delicate threads which have a greater re- fractive power than the intervening substance. These threads varied in length and number, and it was impossible to distinguish whether they were all entirely separated. Altman is the advocate of the granular theory. By special treatment he succeeded in rendering particles visible in a cell called granula. These vary in number and appear sometimes in masses and sometimes in rows. He also con- sidered them as separate organisms, which he called bio- blasts. From this he defines protoplasm as at colony of bioblasts. ' ' Our knowledge of the chemical nature of protuplasm is most unsatisfactory. It has been sometimes described as a living albumen, but such expressions may give rise to an incorrect conception of the nature of protoplasm. lt is not a chemical but a morphological conception, it is noi a single chemical substance, but a composition of many dll'- ferent chemical substances, wonderfully complex in struc- ture. Chemical substances exhibit similar properties under different circumstances, but protoplasm cannot be placed under different conditions without ceasing to be proto- plasm for its essential properties, in which its life history manifests itself, depend upon a fixed organization. After this oragnization has been destroyed, a body of protoplasm is no longer protoplasm, we only examine the chemical ruins of the protoplasm when we treat the dead cells with re-agents. It is also difficult to determine the chemical nature of the substances peculiar to living protoplasm. For, set- ting aside the fact that the bodies are so unstable, that the least interference alters their constitution, the difficulty in analyzing them is greatly increased by the presence of waste products of metabolism. Among these complex sub- stances the proteids are of special importance. These are the most complex of all known organic substances, and till now little has been known as to their chemical structure. This structure depends upon the very remarkable chemical properties of carbon. In proteids carbon occurs combined with four elements-hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sul- phur. Among various proteid bodies plastin alone seems pe- culiar to protoplasm. Plastin is insoluble in water, in a 10 per cent salt solution, and a 10 per cent solution of sulphate of magnesia, it is precipitated by weak acetic acid, while concentrated acid causes it to swell, it resists both pepsin and trypsin digestion. Globulins and albumins are present in smaller quantities. All protoplasms exhibit certain characteristics, one of which is its excitability. By this is meant the readiness with which it reacts to stimuli. A weak force will change the relative position -of the molecules, but 'a strong force destroys the life of the protoplasm, Another character- istic is its need for oxygen. It requires this to retain ac- tivity, and if kept too long without it, dies, but if with- held from it for a short time merely becomes dormant. In order that the life processes of protoplasm may go' on act- ively, two things are necessary: Clj It must have water constantly, C25 the temperature should not fall below el degrees Centigrade, nor rise above 40 degrees Centigrade. If these things are lacking, protoplasm dies and is then called dead protoplasm. FREDERICK BRUGKMILLEZR, '07, QQQQQQ FACULTY' Cin Puff?

The first term, orthographic projections deal with points and lines, while this work takes up many points and lines put together in a definite shape, to form solids. The first figure is that of a hexagonal pyramid. If we look at it in the vertical plane, We see four lines, or the four edges, terminating in the vertex. Looking down upon the pyra- mid, we see the base, or a regular hexagon. This is the projection upon the horizontal plane. In taking another side view, we see two edges upon the perpendicular plane. Thus we have three views, or, technically speaking, three projections of the pyramid. lu figure 2, the three projec- tions of a right hexagonal prism inclined 30 degrees to the horizontal plane are shown. Another hexagonal pyra- mid is shown in figure 3, the only difference lying in the fact that the pyramid is inclined 30 degrees to the hori- E. 6 - AM N5 tions. zontal plane. Figures 4 and 5 show the three projections, respectively, of a frustum of a regular hexagonal prism, and a frustum of a regular hexagonal pyramid. Figure 6 shows the three projections of a cylinder inclined 30 de- grees to the horizontal plane. From the above, we can readily see the usefulness of orthographic projections to the architect and mechanical draughtsman, it being the underlying and fundamental principle of mechanical and architectural drawing. The architect, in planning a house, does the same work. He looks upon the horizontal plane for the plan View of his building, upon the vertical plane, he sees the front view, and on the perpendicular plane, the side View of the build- ing is traced out. The mecha.nical draughtsman has the same principle to follow out in making machine details and other work. Mechanical drawing is a great benefit to the boy or girl, as it disciplines the constructive imagination, and trains the eye a.nd hand in the accurate and careful use of instruments. It is a practical, every-day subject, and some of the graduates of this department are holding posi- tions as :mechanical and architectural draughtsmen in our city. ' w. IRVING iroimy, fos, PRHCTICRL HPPLICHTION5 OF TRI G ON OME TRY' O that class of people who are continually re- - minding us that many subjects studied in school are of little use in practical life, trigo- nometry should appeal, for one can ha.rdly lool: at any public work now going on without see-- ing an application of the principles of trigonom- etry. As we 'all know, the triangle has six parts, if three angles and three sides, which parts are called functions. The usefulness of this sub- ject depends on the fact that, having three func- tions of a triangle given, providing one is a side, the other three may be found. Architecture is an art, but it nevertheless depends upon lines and angles a.nd their relation to each other. If in the planning of Convention Hall, the architect had at- tempted to plan eliminating the principles of trigonom- etijy, he would have failed, for all the overhead work, the steel work, beams and supports of the roof depend upon the applications of this science. These principles are also indispensable in surveying, enabling the surveyor to run a line through a swamp or building and to ascertain the distance between any two points without actually ine-asuring them, for instance, the distance between points across a stream. An-other impor- tant use is in finding the height of inaccessible points, one which appeals to Kansas City people is in the levelling of In passing from these local uses to government uses, I would say that the greatest is that inade by the United States Geodetic and Coast Survey, whose business it is, among other things, to measure distances, to establish coast lines, and to make topographic maps. In the arid regions of the West, the lengths of the rivers need to be determined for purposes of irriga.tion. Just recently a line has been measured across the United States, between Old Point Comfort, Virginia, and Pasadena, California, on the thirty-eighth parallel, which is said to be the longest line through any country with the exception of one through Si- beria. Coast lines are determined by triangulation and plotting. The topography -of this country has been so thoroughly studied that new there are detailed topographic maps of the whole United States, a very small contour in- terval being used in the mountainous districts. Our gov- ernment has also had detailed charts of the ocean made, and employs ships which determine the location of dan- gerous shoals and reefs. 'All the work in astronomy is based on trigonometry, f-or instance, the finding of the distance between the earth and the moon. This is done very, easily by observing the moon from two points on the earth's surface and comput- ing the result by means of the angles obtained. Again, knowing the distance of the moon from the ea.rth, when it is nearest and when it is farthest away, and knowing that the path of the moon is an ellipse with the earth as one of its foci, the length of the moon's orbit can be com- puted. Just as easily the degree of oblateness of the earth's surface can be obtained by finding the curvature at any given latitude and comparing the result with what it would be if the earth were a perfect sphere. But wonder of wonders, trigononietry enables us to tell the ignorant Chinaman. when to prepare for his re- ligious ceremonies, which occur w'hen the terrible red dragon swallows up the sun! In connnon language, when a total eclipse of thie sun occurs., for this is the cause to which the heathen long Q0 a.ttributed that remarkable phenome- non. Laying aside the fact that there are numerous other vast fields where the principles of trigonometry are ap- plied, by these few suggestions as t.o its use the practica- bility of the subject should be insured.

Eighteen boys and girls were in the cast, and this fact alone testifies to the general excellence of the occasion. No other Christ- mas play has ever been honored by so many participants. Everything Went as smoothly as it was possible for a play to go. The principals were admirably suited to their parts, and much credit is due them for the careful prepara- tion which made possible so excellent a performance. The students of the school may justly feel proud of every mem- ber of the cast. As to the individual players, many complimentary things may be said. Pearce Kane, as a young medical stu- 'Q . ff'-511. dent, was exceedingly good. He was at all times easy and composed. Charley Byers, as an old man, in love with all pretty girls, was remarkably good. He acted the part with great credit to himself. Ina Grahame made a fine scold- ing vvifef' She rendered her lines with much clearness and displayed much ability. Margaret Zimmerman played the part of dashing little maid, with an affection of the heart, with considerable earnestness. Mark T. Wilson certainly gave a good impersonation of a hungry man, Who couldn't pay his debts, While Hugh Moore gave 'a very clear idea of a rustic from the rural districts. In our admiration for the members of the cast, We should not overlook the Work of Mr. Dillenbeck, who shoul- dered the responsibility of training so many boys and girls. It was for him to bring order out of confusion, and he deserves much praise for the manner in Which he suc- ceeded. We should not forget Mr. Coll, either, for he did much to make the play a success. Without him We should indeed be the losers. So, three cheers for A Crazy Idea' ' and the cast that composed it! JOHN H. I'IIGLEY, '05, r29Q - x X f , x A 'X 1' 45-. f' ' R ., Xmm- .Z k tc. I THE PRESENT .HTTITUDE.OF BUJ'INE.S'J'xTOLU.HRD CIGHRETTEJII ' HE growing tendency of the business inan to re- ject an otherwise capable young man because of I I the fact that the applicant is addicted to the cig- V arette habit, is having a more potent influence in lessening this pernicious habit than has the .A formation of the various anti-cigarette leagues now flourishing. At least this seems to be the concensus of opinion as expressed by those 'i ' ' ' ' writers who a.re in a position to present their v views on the subject. Not but that the anti-cig- arette league has its office to fill, and fills it to the great benefit of the public at large. It has long been conceded that experience far excels any amount of theorizing. Hence it is that while the young man may hear and not heed time- ly lectures on the evils of the cigarette habit, when brought face to face with the fact that if he is to succeed in any business pursuit he must, perforce, overcome the habit, he begins to understand that the lectures he has heard have not been the Hpratings of old women, but stern facts. Now, Why is this? For answer to this question, let us turn not to the technical phraseology of medical works, but to the jails and asylums of all commonwealths. To begin with, let us visit ia session of the juvenile court. Before the learned judge are fifteen ragged, un- couth, illiterate, dirty boys, ranging in age from six to fifteen years. The first and second fingers on the left hand of each bear a sickly yellow stain. the pockets of each contain bits of discarded cigarettes nicked up from the streets. The eyes of each are shifting and refuse to meet those of the judge on the bench. Of the fifteen, just that number are liars-they know it and the judge knows it. But he also knows that some of that number-in fact prob- ably ninety per cent of them-have been liars only since the cigarette habit obtained its real hold upon them. UI-Iow long have you been smoking cigarettes UZ the judge asks of the best appearing youth in the crowd. Three years, the boy answers timidly. How old are you? the judge asks. Eleven years this month. Then you began to sneak away from home and meet bad boys in alleys and barns when you were eight years old. I know your parents, and they 'are good people, he continues. Before you were nine you had become a thief. Perhaps you did not realize, when you were taking small change from your mother's purse with which to buy to- bacco for cigarettes, that you were stealing. Nor did you realize that the path you took then, led directly to this court of justice. You are too young to join that colony of cigarette-smoking men in the county jail. I can not send you there, but I can send you to the home provided by the state for the criminal young. You will not be able to smoke cigarettes there, consequently the state is making a man of you by inflicting what may now seein to you to be a severe punishment. This is the third time you have been before me on a charge of theft, the judge concludes. Twice you have promised to reform and to stop smolcing cigarettes. Your mind is so drugged with cigarette poison that it is in reality no longer your own mind. You have my sympathy in your affliction, and I hope you will return to your home in after years an honor to our parents. Managers of railroads and all other industrial estab- lishments are students and atteiulauts ol? the juvenile court proceedings, and of life in general. They know that the moral degenerate, to a greater cigarette-smoking boy is a or less degree. They know that ninety-five per cent of the and women-smoke cigarettes. criminal population-men This does not affirm as a fact that ninety-five per cent of cigarette smokers belong to the criminal class, and it may be argued that there is no connection between cigarette- smokiug and criminal instincts. But it would seem that such arguments would not be baseless. To prove which we need go no further than our insane asylums. There we will find patients, young and old, whose imbecility is directly traceable to cigarette smok- ing. The tissues of the brain become diseased, the sufferer is utterly devoid of will power and is a moral de- generate in every sense of the term. A comparison be- tween the insane and the semi-sane cigarette smoker shows the same criminal instinct. Then again, students of nervous and mental diseases have demonstrated the fact that the confirmed cigarette fiend is an irresponsible, weak-willed, unimpressive, unreliable! person, not to be trusted with any more important tasks than cleaning windows and scrubbing floors. The successful business man has attained his success through his own alertness and that of his em- ployees. It follows, therefore, that with the knowledge before him that the cigarette-smoking boy is neither alert, truthful, nor honest-that he would be jeopardizing his interests to intrust even the minute details of his establish- ment ,to the keeping of a cigarette befuddled brain. As for the remedy to be applied in behalf of the cig- arette-smoking youth, I have no comment to make. The anti-cigarette-smoking leagues, temperance societies, and kindred associations are working on the problem, night and day, with an intelligence that can but bear fruit in the end. In the meanwhile, for the reasons already set forth herein, the way of the cigarette-smoking youth, like the way of all other transgressors, is hard. HELEN llTARSI-IALL. L: THE SECOND PRIZE EJLSIEY' CSilver Medalj FOREIGN SYMPATHY IN 'THE LU.HfR OF 'THE REUOLUTIO-N. F I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop were landed on my shores, I would never lay down my arms! Never! Never! Never! When YVilliam Pitt thus ended his last appeal to the House of Lords, his memorable words were unheeded. The petty statesmen of the hour armed resistance the justice for which the Great Commoner was pleading. They could not foresee that the righteousness of the cause of the colonists would enlist the sympathy of aliens and foreigners till with their aid, independence was finally achieved. It is not strange that men only influenced by sel- fish or partisan motives should have failed to see anything attractive in the service of America. Seldom in the history of nations, has a people's cause offered less to tempt the cupidity of mere adventurers. Stretch- ed along the coast of the Atlantic, thinly populated, unaccus' tomed to concerted action, with nearly all their natural resources undiscovered or undeveloped, the colonies seemed ill prepared to defy the power of England. The government against which they rose in rebellion had restricted their commerce. and rigorously suppressed their manufactures, thus seriously. inter- fering with important sources of wealth. When the Continental Congress could not provide food, clothing, arms or ammunition for the American soldiers, it obviously was in no position to bargain for foreign assistance. Those who came from aboard, must volunteer with no expectation of personal gain, trusting that future generations of Americans woul-d honor their mo- tives and not forget their deeds.. To describe the influence of foreign sympathy in the revolution, is to tell of the par- ticipation of foreigners in that momentous struggle. There were those who came with the vain expectation of bettering their personal fortunes. Such was the character of the conspirators concerned in the Conway Cabal. The baseness of a few, how- ever, could not cast a shadow on the faithful service ofvthe numerous foreign heroes who did s.o much to gain American Independence. , In many instances, these aliens were attracted by the prin- ciples that the people of America were fighting to establish. The truths enunciated in the stirring periods of the Declaration of Independence were not new to them the thoughts expressed were their own clothed in the language of the sages of the earth. A part of this foreign contingent came from Poland, where the people had learned the bitterness of tyranny, and suffered wrongs more grievous than America ever endured. Men of every age and manner of life were united beneath the banners of the American leaders. Q- 4 rightly believed that America could not obtain by ffm Ha! li France was generously represented in that gathering of foreign soldiers. Duponceau, Du Partail Dubryson and Duplessis were among those who endured the hardships of Valley Forge with the Continental army. We read that Colonel De Faneul enlisted as a volunteer without pay or rationsf' Of all the French, however, Lafayette was most honored and best beloved. He first heard the Declaration of Independence at a dinner given in honor of the English king. His interest and sympathy were at once aroused. Heedless of the remonstrances of the French sovereign, leaving wife and fortune behind, he sailed for America and offered his services to Congress. After that time, Lafayette was to be found wherever the danger was greatest or hardships. were most severe. Long suffering Poland, too, gave of the noblest of her sons to insure American success. Pulaski became the commander of the cavalry, and rode to a heroic death at the head of his legion during the siege of Savannah. What can you do?l' asked Washington, when Kosciuszko came to him seeking employment. Try mei' was the reply. The trial proved successful, the Polish engineer afterward planned the fortifications behind which the American army -at Bemis' Heights, gained a glorious victory in one of the most important battles of modern times. None of the soldiers of the Revolution performed more important services than the Prussian veterans, who created the discipline and esprit de corpsl' of the army. Had wealth untold been in the empty treas.ury of the Confederation, it could have purchased no more faithful or efficient service than these officers freely gave. In the darkest hours our nation ever saw, when its only resource was the handful of freezing, starving men who shivered in their rude huts at Valley Forge, Baron Steuben was made Inspector of the Army. Almost immediately, confusion and disorder were banished from the camp. Dismounted, musket in hand, this courtier and general transformed an awkward squad into trained soldiers, that they might become the drillmasters of the army. Thanks to his days of patient labor and nights of careful planning, the raw recruits who went into camp at the beginning of that dreadful winter, marched away in the spring to win renown as the disciplined battalions of the Con- tinental line. Prussian soldiers also demonstrated that when there was need, they could teach the -army how to die. When the day was lost at Camden, DeKalb rallied the few Maryland regulars who still stood firm around him, and led them against the enemy till eleven wounds drained the lifeblood from his generous heart. Who of all the American leaders was more valiant in meeting danger or more patient in enduring hardships than were these foreigners, whose sympathy enlisted them in the battle for liberty? It is well that we honor our forefathers of the Revolution, and preserve with pride the memory of their achievements, yet in their own times, they were at least partially rewarded for the sacrifices they made and the dangers they passed through. The success of the war for independence not only established the principles for which they had been contendingg it made life and liberty and property more safe. Henceforth, no government could tax them when they had no voice in regulating the proportions of taxationg no foreign power could destroy their commerce and manufactures by arbitrary legisla- tion, no one could threaten them with transportation across the sea to stand trial for alleged offences. Secure in the enjoyment of these civil liberties, rewarded by the gratitude of the people, the citizen soldiers of the new Republic were not without compensation. With the foreigners, it was not so. Whatever wealth they had was left behind when they came to America. Their heroic self-sacrifice had profited them noth- ing. To retu-rn to their estates in other lands meant subjec- tion to the despotism of a former age. On the other hand, to enjoy the liberty they had sacrificed so much to gain for others, they must begin life again among the impoverished people of an alien race. Should we not honor the unselfish devotion, that no prospect of danger or misfortune could turn from its high purpose, even more than the sturdy independence that clamored for its rights? The individuals whose influence has been described, came from abroad in the first years of the warg even at that time, foreign nations had become involved in the diplomatic situa- tion. Catherine of Russia and the Dutch States general refused to furnish mercenaries for the subjection of the Colonists. The people of Holland could not prove false to a liberty-loving ancestry. They saw in the conflict in the new world, a repetition of their own earlier history. The Prussian govern- ment did not leave the world in doubt as to its position. England's hirelings were refused a passage through its territory. Frederick the Great followed the campaigns of Washington with eager interest. It is said that he considered the operations around Trenton and Princeton the most brilliant in military history. France welcomed our minister at a later date, and Goodman Richard became the celebrity of the hour. French loans restored the failing credit of the United States, when all other resources were exhausted. The forces of DeGrasse and D'Estaing gave opportune assistance in important military operations, while the armies of Washington and Rochambeau marched side by side to the capture of the British redoubts at Yorktown. French ,recognition also gave the revolutionary government standing among the nations. But what of the sympathy on the other side?,' one ignorant of history might well ask. Surely England did not want for friends in such a crisis? Yet strange as it may seem, no ally among all the nations justified Great Britain in the at- tempted subjection of itsf colonies. Even the English people were not united in approving the policy of the government. Bu-rke declared in the House of Commons that We do not seem to gain a paltry advantage over the Americans in debate without attacking some of those principles or deriding some of those feelings for which our ancestors have shed their blood. Lord Camden addressed his colleagues in even more emphatic words: I en-d, my lords, as I begang you have no right to tax America! The natural rights of man, and the immutable laws of nature are all with that people! The Duke of Richmond, al-so speaking before the House of Lords, exclaimed: I wish from the bottom of my heart, that the Americans may resist, and get the better of the forces sent against them! Statesmen were not alone in the expression of such sentiments. Many of the great body of the people clamored against continuing the war when they became more familiar with conditions in America. No truer sympathy for the revolutionary cause existed than that to be found among those subjects of the British crown. The attitude of the people was such that many transactions con- nected with the hiring of Hessian mercenaries were kept secret by government officials, to avoid the storm of protests that usually followed when similar dealings were reported to Parlia- ment. The service of the Hessians in the Revolution brought nothing but misfortune to their employcrsg but it taught the world that mercenaries are dear at any price. Knowing the character of England's hirelings, the contrast inspires in us a deeper admiration for the sympathy and generous self-sacrifice of the foreigners who came without the expectation of reward, to fight the battles of America. Without assistance, the Colonists could not have gained their independence. Foreign sympathy and aid turned the fortunes of war in their favor, and insured their final victory. Looking back to-day at the effect of the American Revolution upon the -great nations of the world, we can see that all men are indebted to the aliens who saved the cause of liberty from defeat. The influence of the foreigners of the Revolution was not confined to any time or place. In future ages, their names shall be synonyms for the true nobility of humaninature. He whose soul scorns the baseness of the rabble around him, will read the story of their lives, and gain new courage for his work. Unto the final hour of its. existence, the Nation that they brought forth from the valley of the shadown shall hold- their memory sacred. Their blood was the most precious sacrifice ever offered on the altars of Liberty. EARLE BOWERS, '05. ANNUAL INTEIQJOCIETY' CONTEST HOSE who were fortunate enough to attend the Society Contest on the evening of Friday, May , Q l ,- W Q the 19th, will comprehend that this account of it cannot but be inadequate. Those- who were un- , m l' able to be present can have little idea of the .im- , w iki? fl , portance and enthusiasm of the occasion, and it is ' on their account that' we regret our inability to W iii- publish va complete description with the space and , prominence such an event requires. Hereafter al , ., it is to be hoped that the press of affairs will not necessitate its being held so late in the sea- son as to render proper recognition in this volume impos- sible. r The contest is the big intellectual feature of the year, participated in by the recognized literary organizations with a zeal and enthusiasm that speaks much, not only for the scholarship, but for the spirit of Central. The audience was large and appreciative. Mr. Frank Gordon was the presiding officer as well as one of the judges. All of the judges were capable men and women of unbiased opinions and they had the concurrence of the audience in their decisions. The Central Mandolin Club was rivaled only by the respective yells of the societies in the inspiration furnished both to contestants a.nd to spec- tators. Five societies were represented: The S. L. H. 'sg the Aristonians, the Websters, the C. S. C.'s, and the Delphians. Undoubtedly all had put forth strong effort, thus success could mean no- small thing to any of them. When it was announced that the Shakespeare Club- an organization of one yearis growth-had won the gold medal for the best essay, every member stood and the hall rang with the Shakespeare yell, generously participated in by the other societies. Miss Eleanor Kleeman was the successful contestant and her medal was presented by Miss Virginia Corelly, amid large applause. The rest of the story centers about one society whose remarkable success Will not soon be forgotten by any pres- ent. May 19th, '05, will, I fancy, long be celebrated as a red-letter day in the annals of the C. W. C. 's. Webster him- self could have done no more. The medals for oration, debate and declamation were awarded to these, his emu- lators: Mr. Earle Bowers, in his oration, C' The New American- ism, displayed splendid presence and originality of sub- ject matter. The question for the debate was, Resolved: That the United States Government Ought to Interfere to Protect the Southern Negro in the Exercise of the Franchise. Although Mr. Stickney of the S, L. H. is proved conclusively that the negro should never have been enfranchised, Mr. Hugh Moore like the famous debater Daniel Webster on a subject closely related, convincingly affirmed that the negro had been enfranehised and ought to be protected. We trust that as the judges have shown their approval of Mr. Moore's statement, the government will please take notice of the matter. At any rate, we, the coming genera- tion, should now be amply fitted to settle the affair when it is our turn. The last medal to be presented was the one for Decla- mation. This was the most difficult event to decide, all of the numbers being exceptionally well rendered. Miss Barton's Hagar, and Miss Spaulding's Biner Rosef' were especially well received, but not more so than Cap- tain Joe, delivered by Mr. Mark Wilson, to whom the palm was awarded. At the invitation of the Websters, their medals were presented by Miss Lily Bell Neal. The evening ended with a rousing good cheer for Old Central, and good feeling from everybody for everybody. e'U Wu , x x 1X THE PHRTING OF .HNDROMACHE .HND HECTOR ECTOR hastened from the home by the sa.me way fwiin thioughout the well-built streets.

Hector, looking toward his child, silently smiled. Andromache, who stood near him weeping, clinging to his hand, spoke to him and called him by name. My beloved husband, your might will destroy you, nor do you pity your helpless child, or me, your unhappy wife, who will quickly be a widow because of you. For soon all the Greeks, rushing upon you, will kill you. It would be a better fate for me, bereft of you, to- be buried in the earth. For there will be no other pleasure, but only griefs, whenever you meet death. I have no father or good mother. For indeed the godlike Achilles killed my father when he sacked the high-walled city of the Cilicians, the lofty Thebes. My mother, who ruled at the foot of woody Placus, he led away together with the other booty, andin time he set her free, keeping the priceless ransom, but the Archeress Artemis killed her in the palace of my father. But you, O, Hector, are my father and good mother, too, and you are my noble husband. But pity me now, remain here upon the gate lest you make your child an orphan and your wife a widow. In turn the great, gleaming-crested Hector replied: My wife, all these things are indeed a care to me. For I know this thing well in my heart and mind. There will be a day when sacred Ilium and Priam, and the sol- diery of Priam, the bearer of the ashen .bow shall have per- ished. Hereafter not such a grief will come to me for the Trojans, nor Hecuba herself, nor mighty Priam, nor the brothers, who, though many and valiant, shall lie in the dust, subdued by haughty men, as f-or you, when some of the bronze-clad Achaians shall lead you away in tears, and shall rob you of your day of freedom. Then perchance, some one seeing you weeping would say: 'This is the wife of Hector who was the best of the Trojan' knights in fight- ing, when they fought around Iliumf Thus, then, some one would speak, and there would be a new grief to you because of the lack of a husband to ward off the evil day. But may the earth conceal me in my death before I learn of your cry and seizure. Thus speaking the glorious Hector held out his hands toward his son. Quickly the child, shrieking leaned back upon the bosom of the well-girt nurse, frightened at the sight of his father, and fearing the bronze and horsehair crest, as he perceived it nodding fearfully from the top of the helmet. His father and mother laughed. The glor- ious Hector seized the bright helmet from his head and placed it upon the ground. Then when he had kissed his child and had tossed him in his hands, he spoke praying to Zeus and the other gods. O, Zeus, and ye other gods, grant that my child may be thus, just as indeed I was, preeminent among the Tro- jans, give him noble might and allow him to rule with might over Troy. And then some one might say, 'This one' is much better than his father, as he returns from war. May he bring home bloody spoils, having killed an enemy, and may his mother rejoice in her heart. Thus speaking he placed his child in the hands of his dear wife. She, laughing amidst her tears, received him on her fragrant bosom. Her husband perceiving it, took pity, caught her by the hand, and spoke to her by name: 'fMy dear wife, do not grieve too much for me in your heart, for no man shall send me to Hades before my time. But go to your home, take up your work, the loom and dis- taff and command the slave to go to work. War is the care for all men, but especially to me, who lives in Troy. Thus speaking the glorious Hector seized again his horse-crested helmet. But his dear wife, turning away, weeping much, went to her home.

LATIN TRHNJLHTION CFrom the Carmina of Catullus.D Though Jupiter himself should woo, My sweetheart would to me be true. So she says. But the words of a maid to her eager lover, Are written in wind and running water. So I say. CFrom De Arnicitia.D T Friendship is nothing more than agreement with kind- ness and love in all things, and so, I am truly inclined to believe that, wisdom excepted, no better thing can be given a man by the immortal gods. Some prefer riches, others giood luck, others power, still others honor, some even dis- sipatioln. The last is indeed characteristic of beasts, but those other uncertain and fleeting pleasures are based not so much upon our own plans as upon the fickleness of for- tune. Those, however, who find the greatest pleasure in virtue, ch-oose well, for virtue both begets and preserves friendship, nor can friendship by any means endure with- out it. Friendship not only contains in itself many great ad- vantages but truly yields them to all, because it sheds the light of a good hope into the future and suffers not our hearts to falter or despair. For he who admires his friend considers him as a model. Therefore, though absent, they are present, though poor, they are rich, though sick, well, and, a thing more difficult to say, though dead, they live, such great honor, remembrance and longing follows them in their friends. For this reason, the death of the former seems happy, the life of the latter, most praise- worthy. I you should remove the harmony of love from nature, neither home nor city could stand, not even the cul- ture of the fields would remain. If this fact is little appre- ciated, the great strength of friendship and concord may be perceived from dissension and discord, for what lions-9 is so strong, what state so solid, that it may not he utterly destroyed by hatred and wrangling. From this fact may be estimated how much good there is in friendship. J Unrrrl CONNELLY, 'OG. Goethe nnb Schiller.

Ilicrt. was fl. moment s sihnci. and then Forty- four feetf' announced the small man in white sweater and nose-glasses. A tremendous burst of applause came from the sec- tion of the grandstand that flaunted pennants with a red C on a yellow background. There were cries of Good for Mack, all right, old boy, and the man who had just made the throw walked back to the bench feeling very well satisfied with himself. He had just made the best put of the afternoon. It was a certain thing that his oppo- nent could not come within two feet of his last mark, and therefore the Carlyle contingent must thank him for the additional five points that he would add to their score. Back under the awning where the Westlake men were seated, the captain of the track team was chewing his finger nails very nervously. The score all afternoon had been a very close one. At the present.moment, kit stood thirty-six to thirty-five in their favor. There were but two more events in tl1e meet, the shot put and the mile run. There was very little possibility that they could take first in tl1e latter. XVillianis and Edwards were very good endurance men, but possessed of deplorably little speed at the finish. Relinquishing this event, then, to Carlyle, which they would probably have to do whether they desired to or not, the only thing that would save the day for them was the shot put. This also to the dismay of the Westlakeites, however, seemed to be going the wrong way. In Mack, Carlyle had produced Ha phenom that fairly 7 D 7 1 'J ' i , 1 c i 7 through the air. 'T 3 17 . 1 g D I s n 1 C c ' 1 i E I 1 A A vi 1' L 7. 3 c , H walked away from their man. The winning five points seemed to be lost to them beyond the shadow of a doubt, angls as a result the Westlake captain chewed his finger en . As 'soon as the judge had given the result of the measurement, a tall, lean figure emerged from a drab col- ored dressing gown at the end of the Westlake bench, and walking out to the wooden half-circle, picked up the sphere. He was a little tired as the movement of his limbs indi- cated. He had made more throws than the Carlyle man in the effort to come up with him and the exertion was be- ginning to tell on him. Nevertheless there was no 'equit- ting blood in him, and he put just as much spirit into his next effort as he had in any previous. The weight dropped almost exactly in his last mark, just twenty-seven inches short of Mack's put. Walker, the Westlake captain, had stopped chewing his nails for the moment, and leaned forward in the faint anticipation of some impossible thing, but as soon as the lead dropped, he turned away again with a hopeless sigh, and a look of resignation on his face. As Hanson stepped back from the circle, someone touched 'him on the arm, and he heard a low voice behind him say: Step to one side -a moment, will you? I'd like to have half a dozen words with you. Hanson turned, a little surprised at the confidential tone assumed, and saw that the person who had spoken to him was apparently one of the crowd that had pressed in under the guide lines, and gathered around the pit where the shot event was going on. The man was rather tall, dressed in cheap cheviot,land appeared to be about half way down in the forties. A second glance, however, convinced Hanson that he was a little erroneous in the last item. It was the tired, worn features that had given him this impression. The hollow cheeks, and the multitude of harsh heavily drawn lines in his face, expressive' of lots of experience-not always of the happiest kind and numerous drau hts from misfor T g' - tune's cup, gave him an aged look, but he was really only about twenty-five or thirty. The wide shoulders and wasted frame had once been powerful and of exceptional strength and physical beauty, but now where the hard muscular outlines should show through the cloth, the garments hung loose and awkwardly, the chest receded, and the whole figure stooped. In answer to Hanson's VVhat do you want? he in- troduced himself: I'm a friend of Wlestlake. I want to see you make those necessary five points, he said, speak- ing rapidly, but in a very low tone. lt can be done. The whole thing hangs on you. Take just three words of advice from an unknown without credentials, or recommendation. When you put, you waste a considerable portion of your strength. When you lunge forward, advance your right foot six inches nearer the stop, draw your working arm just a little farther back, and spring higher into the air on reaching the end of your forward movement. Do this, and say to yourself that you will, and you can drop the shot four feet further than your last mark. For a moment after the stranger had finished speaking Hanson was in a daze. A dozen questions were flying around in his mind, and each struggling for utterance. Was it possible? Could it be done? Who was this person who spoke so confidently of something that seemed utterly impossible of accomplishment. What did he know about shot-putting anyway? And yet in some unaccountable way he had inspired Hanson, and stirred him to the very soles of his spiked shoes as no one had ever done before. He felt, although he could not explain why, that there was truth in the few terse words that the man had uttered. '4But, who are you? began Hanson, turning about to get a better look at the fellow, and then stopped short. Where his adviser had stood a moment before, a large portly person with a copious wealth of white vest front stood surveying him curiously. Hanson stared. In that one moment that he had paused to think, his unknown friend had disappeared. How he did it will forever remain a mystery. As soon as Hanson recovered from his aston- ishment, he dived among the spectato-rs in a frantic search for his strange acquaintance, but it was like hunting for a needle in a haystack, perfectly useless. When Hanson emerged from the crowd again, the Carlyle man had just made another throw, not increasing his last distance, however. With the unknown 's words still ringing in his ears, the boy with the blue W on his jersey walked to his place, and again picked up the shot. He balanced' himself on his right leg a little lo-nger than usual this time, and when the judges picked up the tape they announced an increase of four inches. Walker's eyes had lighted up a little when he saw that the lead had gone a little further, but when told how scant was the advance he shook his head again mournfully. Connnendable, old chap, he said to Hanson. But not enoughable. I suppose we might as well pack up, fellows. l'ni not naturally a let's quit man, but when a thing is as clear as this, l'm willing to cave. The audience was beginning to lose interest in the shot- put for it was evident to them that the thing was strongly Carlyle's event. Over on the other side of the field, the starters were beginning to line up the men for the mile run as Mack stepped to the mark for his last throw. He fell eight inches short of his best put, he was losing strength and could never hope to come up to his former mark again, but he felt supremely satisfied as he walked away, for he had made a record that he felt was as high out of Westlake 's reach as the moon or some other remote planet. Once more Hanson picked up the sphere, and balanced it in his hand. Those who felt enough interest in the event to watch him saw nothing more than the lanky and some- what begrimed athlete that had been working so indus- triously all afterno-on to beat his opponent, and with such poor results. And yet the light of a great resolve was in his eyes, a determination such as comes to a man but once in a life time. For a moment. he stood like a statue, and gazed fixedly at the dented turf a dozen paces away. A few of the spectators above him began to laugh. 'fLook it in the eye, I-Iansy, cried a shrill voiced youngster. On your mark, ready, get set! came the starter's voice faintly across the field. I'Ianson's left hand extended before him pointing straight toward the dull red September sun that was going down in a. burst of glory. Up went his right. Once, twice, then shot forward like a catapult. At the same moment he launched his body forth, springing high in the air, the sixteen pound lead ball went whistling through the air, a.nd describing a graceful arc dropped to the earth. As the dull thud reached the ears of the spectators, their eyes reverted for a moment from the lithe figures of the runners speeding around the track, to the battered, dust covered shot as it rolled a few inches, and then stopped. For one brief instant their ,senses were dazed and .bewil- dered by what they saw. And then a perfect shriek came from the VVestlake contingent. They rose to their feet as one man, and clambered up on each other's shoulders in order to see the better. Could it be possible? Yes, a miracle. The mile run was all forgotten now. They needed no accurate measurement by the perspiring men with the tape, no stereotyped announcement of the judges to tell them that the 'Westlake man had thrown the shot at least a good yard further than his opponents' best mark? It seems that at this point the audience threw aside all pre- tense of saneness, and man, woman and child went raving, howling mad. Never before had such a thing been done in the history of ainateur athletics! At length, after some degree of quiet had been restored, the sharp voice of the 1 referee cut in with the announcement: 'cF'orty-seven feet, five inches, and again pandemonium broke loose. Over by the benches the Westlake team had surrounded their hero to a man. Walker fairly wept on his shoulders, little Crawford, the quarter-miler, with one arm about him blubbered delightedly, and Watkins was endeavoring to separate his hand from the limb to which that membei was attached. f'Oh, you dear, 'darned' dumplin' cried little Craw- ford., How did you do it? I didn't, beamed Hanson, and then he told them the Whole story. Before he had finished, numerous members of the Westlake track team were engaged in a search for the per- son who had given Hanson the tip that had enabled him to win the meet. If they could have found him, it is quite likely that he would have been quickly hoisted on several pairs of stout shoulders, and paraded around the field. But, although they had been given a description of him by Hanson, they could find no trace of him, and were compelled to return unsuccessful. I Well, I can tell you what we can do, fellows, said Walker. We don 't know who the chap was but we cer- tainly are grateful and as we all have our voices with us I move we give one for the unknown. Now, altogether! Away over on the other side of the field, a tall man dressed in blue cheviot was gazing across to where the dozen or s-o lusty-lunged and happy boys were swelling their voices in a stirring cheer. Did he know what it meant? Perhaps. No one can tell. His eyes lit up a little as a faint smile crept over his face, and the hard corners of his mouth relaxed for a moment, and then he turned again just in time to see a laboring Vllestlake man finish a good second in the mile. DART WALKER HIGGIN. AN .HNCIENT ROMANCE T was latein the afternoon in the Imperial City. Throngs of excited- people crowded the streets. Among those who had come from the amphithe- fi l ater, where the coronation games had been held, was a young man, who walked alone. He did ' A sweeping by him, did not seem to hear their dis- cordant voices, wrangling over the interruption of the games, nor did he miss the gay com- . panions, who generally accompanied him. The thoughts of the youthful Glaucus were in higher things. He was settling a great question, a question that had claimed his attention many times in the last year and was now fast reaching its solution. One year ago- he had been enjoying the life in Athens. At one of the festivals held there he had met the beautiful Hermione, whom he had wooed and won. They had often walked in the luxuriant gardens together, and Diana had smiled down at. them from her lofty abode. 0 Then it was that he had paid homage to the goddess o-f the moon and blessed her for sharing in his happiness. But, the lovers had parted, and over no trivial cause. Hermione had but lately embraced the Christian faith and had become so imbued with the sweetness of its teachings that, with the steadfastness displayed by the early con- verts, nothing could force her to give it up. However, she had many temptations. Glaucus not only experienced a great contempt for the new religion, but also felt much sorrow upon seeing the world slowly withdrawing from the old worship. It had especially grieved him to see Hermione converted, and many times he had asked her to renounce her fanatical views. One night he had begged her mo-re firmly than ever, but although deeply moved by his pleadings, she could not and would not yield to him. Then with all patience lost, he left her, saying: True as my love is, it shall never be given to a Christian. She was heart broken, but upheld by her new faith she prayed fervently that her lover might yet return to her. As for Glaucus, his restlessness led him away from the scene of his sorrow. Just a few minutes before he had stepped on board the ship that was to take him to Italy, he had wavered. Wliy, this sacrifice? Could we not have lived ' if lll - IVE27 r not notice the angry murmurings of the crowd fy hi xl 5 , . i f happily even if she were a Christian? Then his strong will asserted itself, -and replied, HNeverl With all this strife within him, he was sorrowful, and seeking comfort he glanced upwards. Diana was again smiling, but this time as if to taunt him in his depression. Then indeed did he feel alone. Reaching Italy he plunged into the gay, reckless life of the metropolis, in va vain attempt to forget the past. This day had found him at the amphitheatcr. Two glad- iators, about evenly matched, were engaged in deadly con- flict. The combat had grown exceedingly interesting, when a Christian rushed between the fighters, trying to put a stop to the bloody encotmter. Showers of stones and scraps of iro-n were hurled at the monk by the enraged people. He was instantly killed. However, that was the end of the sports for that day. The degenerate emperor himself had been moved by the self-sacrifice of the Chris- tian and had commanded that the entertainment cease. That noble act was the cause for this indignant throng of people, for Glaucus, it was the turning poiht in his career. He had been to-uched by the martyrdom of the Christian. But,,' he thought, what could have made anyone so strong as to have rushed into certain death just to stop one conflict? What could have made the monk so unselfish as to have given his life for one whom he had n-ever seen before? There was but one answer, Chris- tia.nity. He thought he had' investigated that religion thor- oughly, he had seen the change made in the lives of some people, but never before had he witnessed such a remark- able exhibition of the fruits of Christianity. Surely, he thought, this must be the true religion! At that moment the attention of the people was drawn to the silent man in their midst. For some time he had stood still. Then with eager strides he walked, almost ran, away. Again he stood on a vessel, and again hc looked at the moon, now hidden behind a cloud. Oh, Diana, he breathed. Thou wert oft cold and heartless. Thou hast now no part in my joy. Iilereafter, I am to be led by Om-, who is my Friend, my Comforter. Sharer alike in my joys and sorrows. I have fo-und the true light. Fare thee well, oh, Dian-ag tomorrow I will sec my fa1ith'l'ul llcr- mioneI G. C., '05, of N9 fwUl1U ll His PREJENT R.

' A liked auto-cars, being afraid of them, so he knew that only an advanced countryman would agree to ride in one. The second evening of his stay in Hong Kong he was lucky enough to meet Ching Leea, a well educated Chinese merchant. At once he took his man in hand, and before they parted had asked him to go auto-riding the next day. Mr. Harding was very much delighted with his prospects, hoping to relieve himself of at least one car. Nothing could have been finer than the weather when the young American helped his old Chinaman friend into the auto. Perhaps from fear, the knees of the old man were shaking terribly. The sight of him was very amus- ing, indeed. During the ride Ching Leea seemed entranced and asked to be taken again. Mr. Harding, very much de- lighted, promised him another spin, thinking he had nearly sold the machine. So it happened that Mr. Ching Iieea was taken out quite often to enjoy the air, and incidentally to be shown the good qualities of the best automobile in the land. In time the merchant promised to buy the machine. They were taking their last ride together when the Chinaman said in his very broken English: 1 iVell, Mr. Harding, you have really been too kind no me. O, no, I don 't think so, remarked Harding in a care- less tone. f'I+'ew people would have treated a poor old China- man as you have, my kind friend, continued the merchant. HI think I will have to give you a nice present. Of course, I would be more than pleased to receive any gift that you would offer me, replied Harding, bright- ening up, and thinking, for some reason or other, of a crispy note. It shall be the nicest present you ever saw, said Ching Iieea. When we get home I will show it to you. All the rest of the way the merchant was exclaiming about the nice present which he intended to present to his friend the American. Just as the two were going through the door of the luxurious home of Ching Iieea, the old man said to his visitor: Ha, my good fellow, are you married? O, no-but why? . O, I was only thinking about how your wife, present or future, would enjoy my gift. I see, said Mr. Harding, following him into a dimly lighted room. The Chinaman, after attending to the comforts of his guest, briskly left the room, promising to return very soon with the pres-ent. Mr. Harding entertained himself for the next few minutes dreaming over the unknown token of friendship, when the swish of silken skirts disturbed his quiet reverie. . j Ha, here she is, my fellow, the present, the presentf' and the merchant, much to the dismay and great astonish- ment of the young man, led his daughter into the room. Was ever a fellow in a worse predicament than now! Imagine, if you can, his feelings as well as hers. Thinking first of the automobile, and that its sale might fall through if he did not greet his gift pr-operly, Mr. Harding rushed forward and took th-e girl's hand. He noticed that she was dressed in a white robe, the characteristic costume of her land, and had a long silken veil thrown over her head. The father commanded his guest to lift the veil. He obeyed and then led' the girl to a cha.ir. Ha, now, don't you think she is fine, indeed? said the proud father. Aren't you pleased with your pres- ent? HO, yes, said Mr. Harding, regarding the girl with great curiosity, I am delighted with her. Well, I bid you good evenin-g, my friend, take go-od care of her. My place is anywhere but here, and the merchant left the room. Harding tried at first to talk to his newly bestowed possession, but, as she could not understand English, con- versation lagged, somewhat. Becoming desperate at last, the young man grabbed his hat and hastily left the house, while his present sat demurely on the sofa watching his movements and blinking her eyes as though she were try-- ing to go to sleep. The next day Mr. Harding left Hong Kong with his machines, but without his gift from Ching Iieea. We wonder if he ever told his sweetheart at home this story. LEJ' INFANT! TERRIBLEJ' AST summer I received a letter from Aunt Alice asking me to spend the month of June with her. In closing she had said, and be sure to bring F those darling little cousins of yours. I have not seen them since they were babies, and I am sure twin cousins away from home to visit! I trembled even to think of it. Not that the twins were not well behaved, well brought up children, but that they were as full of mischief and fun as two children aged seven are apt to be. Their naughty pranks and plays were always bringing them to grief, and they were the terrors of the neighborhood in which they lived. When Jack and Jeanette heard that they had been invited to spend a whole month with Aunt Alice, and that their beloved Cousin Mary was going to take them, they were wild with joy and excitement. I held two long con- sultations with their mother, who fondly believed that her darlings were the best children in the world, 'and she assured me that they would be perfect angels and not give me the least bit of trouble. , ' . And so it happened that on the first day of June we stepped from the train on to the little Jonesville platform. The twins had behaved beautifully on the way. Jack had not once begged to ride with the engineer or stand on the outside platform, and Jeanette had neither fallen out of the window nor lost any of her belongings as she gen- erally did. I heaved a sigh of relief at having arrived with- out any mishaps, and fervently hoped that good behavior on the part of my small charges would continue. For a week all went smoothly. Aunt Alice was de- lighted with the children and did everything possible for them. Simday evening of the second week, things began to go wrong. Aunt Alice had asked some young men, whom I had met the summer before, to call on me. We were havin-g a delightful time when in walked Jack and Jeanette and seated themselves on the parlor sofa. They said little, 'iff I should enjoy a visit from them. Take my is g Y but I imagine they heard much. Finally one of the young men asked me to sing, and I obligingly Went to the piano and was about to begin, when J ack 's voice piped up : Why, Cousin Mary, are you going to sing for that man? ' 'Why shouldn't I, J ack? Don't you know you said if that fool man ever asked you to sing again, you would-you would- Jack, said I sternly, Hleave this room. That is a wicked story. You know I di-dn't say anything of the kind. Yes, you did, too, Cousin Mary, put in Jeanette, who vali-antly stood up for everything her twin said, be it false or true. Although all laughed heartily, the situation was very embarrassing for me. The conversation lagged after this, and before long my company departed. Monday beg-an with a pouring rain which looked as if it would last all day. Aunt Alice would be away, and I would have nothing to do but read and amuse the children. The latter seemed to be amusing themselves, as they had disappeared immediately after breakfast and had not been seen since. Thinking that they were safe, I went to the library with a book a.nd was soon lost in its pages. For a long time I heard nothing but the rain driving against the windows, but presently another sound rose above the wind and rain. Bump-bump-bump-bang,and then wild shrieks of laughter. I waited a minute, there it was again. Bump-bump-bump-bang, more laughing and shriek- ing. I decided that it was high time to see what my charges were about. They had been left to thernselves all morn- ing, and who knows what might have happened in that time? I proceeded in the direction of the noise. At the foot of the stairs I paused and gazed upward. At the top, seated in a. la.rge clothes basket and making ready for a speedy descent, were the darling children. For some reason, probably because I was looking at it, the clothes basket started wrong and descended rather more speedily than it had before. As it hit the bottom stair, it bounced high in the air, and basket, twins and all landed with a grand crash at my feet. In the midst of the confusion which followed, the hall door opened, and in walked the laundress with a wrathful countenance. Ye little divils, ye, what are ye doin' wid me best clothes basket? It 's meself as has been washin' all mornin' and ye have broken me basket and not a one of the clothes hangin' on the line yet. Sure an' the misthress will be after havin' us put out. I sent for some one to clear away the remains of the clothes basket, and then took the twins up stairs and scolded them soundly. They both looked so penitent and promised so faithfully never to be bad any more, that I forgave them and played games and told stories the rest of the day. Waking rather early one morning, I heard this con- versation coming from the twins' room, which adjoined mine. Say, Jeanette, let's make mud pies today. I know a dandy place where the mud is just as soft and squashy, and then we can play store and I can sell cakes and pies to you. No you can't, either, Jack Elliott, I'm going to make mud pies, too. U Well, then, let's both make 'em and sell to make-be heve people. I Good, I thought. Let them play in the mud all day. They will be happy and safe and besides, I have promised to go riding with Mr. Tudor this morning. - I had a delightful ride, a.nd when we returned, Aunt Alice asked Mr. Tudor to stay to luncheon. He accepted the invitation a.nd we strolled slowly up the walk to the porch. Where can the children be? I said, as we ascended the steps. As if in answer to my question the twins them- selves came tearing around the corner of the house. Two .lirtier children could hardly be found. Their hands and faces were covered with mud, their shoes and stockings andclothes were streaked with it. 4 O, Cousin Mary, we've been having the best time, cried Jeanette, patting my face with her mud-dy little hands, and leaving muddy streaks all over my clean white dress. Meanwhile, Jack had espied Mr. Tudor seated com- fortably on the front porch. O, I say, Mr. Tudor, he screamed, climbing up into that gentleman 's lap and wiping his shoes on Mr. Tudor 's coat, and his hands on his immaculate collar and shirt, did you ever make mud pies? The look on Mr. Tudor's face and the remark he mumbled under his breath, evidently did not answer this question, for Jack looked up into his face and said solemnly, O, you said a naughty, bad word. Fearing to complicate matters by letting the children remain on the porch longer, I marched them up stairs. When once within my own room I dropped into a chair and laughed until I cried. J ack, coming in at this instant, -demanded to know the cause of my mirth. I said that I could not help thinking how funny we all looked there on the porch, two sorrowful little children with tears mak- ing muddy tracks down their cheeks, Mr. Tudor with the mud thick on his clothes, and a big splotch of it on one side of his face, and his expression of disgust and chagrin, lastly of what a spectacle I myself must have been, my white dress spattered all over with mud, and muddy finger printsson each cheek where loving little hands had patted ine, and how I had been struggling between a desire to laugh, cry and spank the incorrigible twins, all at the same time. Jack laughed with me at this, and I, thinking to impress him with the fact that I was rather tired o-f his pranks, remarked as he left the room, What bores some people become after one has been bothered by them for so long. The little fellow turned as I said that and asked: Do you really mean that? t'Yes, Jack, I said, I do. Fifteenhminutes later I descended to the front porch. As I stopped in the hall to pick up J ack's cap, I heard that individual say to Mr. Tudor: ' 'Mr. Tudor, what is a bore 2 I' HA bore, replied the unsuspecting Tudor, His gen- erally a person who comes too often, talks too much, and stays too long. Why do you ask, J ack. O, nothin', only I don't see then, why Cousin Mary said you was such an awful bore. I nearly fainted at this speech. O, that terrible child! How could he mistake my meaning so? Now, I simply could not face Mr .Tudor, and I knew that any excuse would sound weak and false. However, there was no need of my facing Mr. Tudor, for I heard him tell Jack to please tell Cousin Mary that he had been called away sud- denly and could not stay to luncheon. But I thought I heard him murmur as he went down the walk: I have heard that children and fools speak the truth. ' ' The twenty-ninth of J une! How glad I was! Tomor- row we would start for home. Of course, we had had a de- lightful visit, but nevertheless, I should be very glad to turn the angel children over to their fond mother. The care of them for one month was all I could possibly endure. In the evening several of my friends came to bid me good- by, among them the joyful Tudor, who had long ago for- 'given and forgotten the mud pie episode. The children had been put to bed early so that my last evening could be spent in peace and without interruption. At eleven o'clock Mr. Tudor, who was the last to leave, was standing at the foot of the stairs bidding me good-by. He was lean- ing against the balustrade talking and I was standing fac- ing the stairway. Chancing to lo-ok up, whom should I see but my little Cousin Jack standing at the top of the stairs. I hoped and prayed that it would not enter his wicked little head to descend. As if reading my thoughts and, like the little imp that he was, resolving to do the very opposite, Jack went calmly to the balustrade, threw his leg over and came down like a streak of lightning, bump, right into poor Tudor's back. I will not repeat the con- sequences of that terrible act. Suffice it to say, that with no more than a cool Good-by, Miss Mary, Tudor left the house. Home at last and free! Could anything be more joyful? Did my babies have a goo-d time? asked the twins' mother. C, just dandy, they both answered in the same breath. Were you good, and did you mind Cousin Mary. O, yes, we were perfect angels, weren't we? Yes, I answered in a tone which plainly meant no, you were perfect angels. HIELEN D. CLARK, '06, THE NECEJXFITY' OF .H TELEPHONE. HE Proudfits lived in a West Side flat. There was nothing to distinguish them from any other . ...,. . Hflatl' couple in the neighborhood, except that Mr. Proudfit had a bald head and only one arm, while Mrs. Proudfit not only possessed the bright- . est red hair in the entire block, but was the owner of the most powerful voice ever heard in that part of town. In fact, her voice was the cause of much of the discontent that existed among her neighbors. She had a habit of calling to the grocery store, a quarter of a block away, at all times of da.y. This exhibition of elocution and oratory at last reached such alarming proportions that one old man was heard to say that lf that red-topped old woman -'lidn't stop her yelling, he was going to swear out :1 warrant for her arrest on the charge of disturbing the peace. This information, having been transmitted to the lady in question by little Moxey Pitcher, caused many violent ex- clamations. She stoutly maintained that she had the right to talk just as often and just as loud as she saw fit, and if any of her neighbors had anything to say to her, she would prefer to have them come to her in person instead of send- ing the message by the children. And, moreover, she an- nounced that if there were any more insulting remarks to be made she guessed she could hold her own, as she had formerly lived in Arkansas, where people were noted for their proficiency in exchanging compliments. This bold speech caused at lull on the part of the neighbors for awhile. They had heard that A hint to the wise is sufficient, but in this case that statement did not hold good. Mrs. Proudfit was as good as her name. She held her head high and disdained to pay the slightest attention to any of her former friends, many of whom were awestruck by the majestic appearance she made when- ever she appeared on the street. The yelling continued as before, and at last, after a consultation, a committee, consisting of Peter Simmons and wife, was appointed to see what could be done. Peter was almost sixty years old and a veteran of the Civil war. He had not been a soldier in the ranks, but a driver of a six mule team. At the present time, he was having a severe attack of rheumatism, which, he declared, had been brought on by being kicked by one of the lead mules of his team, while trying to escape from the enemy, at the battle of Bull Run. Peter spent many hours telling of hair-breadth escapes and thrilling experiences and it was but natural for his friends to believe him a brave man. Consequently he was selected for the present occasion. Nothing would have pleased him better tha.n to have re- mained off the committee, but as it was imperative he was forced to submit. It was with much timidity and many forebodings of evil that he at last nerved himself up to the ordeal. In company with his wife, he mounted the stairs to the sec- ond story of the flat and knocked timidly at Pr-oudfit's door. Mrs. Proudfit had been waiting for the grocery boy for an hour and for that reason was not in a peaceable frame of mind. The minute she heard the knock, she rushed. to the door and opened it, ready to express her sentiments upon the object of her wrath. To her sur- prise, there stood Peter with his cane in one hand while with the other he clung to the stair railing. Mrs. Sim- mens remained several steps in the rear. We have come, stannnered Peter, we have come, Mrs, -5 ah! Mrs, - Proudfit, snapped that lady, anxious to learn what was wanted of her by a person who had not spoken to her for two months. Recovering himself, Peter continued: Mrs, Proud- -ah! fit-Proudfit we have come to tell you a committee has been appointed,-we are the committee, Well, what do I care? was the next outburst. A committee, resumed Peter, almost in despair, to tell you-to asklyou-about your dis-disturbing- Disturbing, shouted Mrs. Proudfit. You come here to tell me I disturb you did ye? Well! I want to say. You'd both better get right out of here and right now, too, and as she spoke she advanced a step and flour- ished a large carving knife so fiercely that old Peter lost his balance and promptly rolled do-wn stairs, carrying his wife with him as he descended. Having brought the conversation to this happy con- clusion, Mrs. Proudfit calmly closed the door and con- tinued her work, leaving her callers, who beyond a few scratches were unhurt, to hobble home as best they could. - Undaunted by Peter's failure, David Flannigan vol- unteered to undertake the task of remonstrating with the offending person. He decided to disguise himself. A friend promised to lend him a policcman's uniform and with the regulation club, he felt sure of success. After due deliberation he concluded to make an evening call. Now, it happened that several robberies had recently been committed in that vicinity and the Proudfits were in a fearful quandary for an effective burglar alarm. At last Mr. Proudfit, being of an ingenious nature, hit upon the plan of placing tinpans, pails and other kitchen uten- sils above the back porch door, so that in case of dis- turbance, a loud noise would ensue. This was supposed to frighten the robbers away. All this, of course, was unknown to Flannigan. As he marched up to the door, with his club grasped firmly in his hand, he couldn't help feeling elated at the prospect of exerting a little authority. If I could only meet a foot-pad, he muttered, wouldn't I fix him though? Wfith this thought in mind, he opened the door and stepped briskly inside. He at -once collided with a stepladder, which was leaning against the wall, and almost demolished it with a blow from his club before he realized what was the matter. At the same instant a dishpan fell heavily upon his head and knocked him over. Rising hastily to his feet, he attempted to make his way out, but before he could do so a frying pan fell upon him in such a way that he thought he was being stabbed by some assailant. Spare me, he yelled. Help! Murder! Police. He thought he was being assassinated. With a final effort he pulled himself together and succeeded in making his escape. Needless to say, no other visits were made upon the Proudfits. Everyone seemed to feel that, What can't be cured must be endured. Mrs. Proudfit continued to de- velop her powers as a public speaker without interrup- tion. At last ia day came which brought with it a cure for the existing evil. This was how it happened: A telephone solicitor came around one day and it im- mediately dawned upon the neighbors of the Proudfits that the latter might be induced to take a telephone. A sub- scription was taken up and placed in the hands of the solicitor so that he could make a very reasonable rate for a year or two. The Proudfits fell into the trap and now there is no more yelling. Peace and quiet prevails, where there was once tumult and confusion, and it is all on ac- count of a Phone, JOHN H. TIIGLEY, Sn.

Since last issue it has been decided to enlarge our paper again. The next number will contain 1,200 pages, but the price will remain the same- five cents per issue. The insistent demand of our advertisers for more space has prompted our action. Many pupils are quarreling with the faculty because the school course is only twenty-five years in length. They think that the addition of five years Cwith three years of holidayb would enable them the better to un- derstand Professor Holmes' puns. Dr. Spojunkus Dunkus Pajamas, our imtructor in physics, has suc- ceeded at last in intercepting wireless money orders sent to the Zuzu of Al- expander, and he is deriving a com- fortable income, besides' bearing all the expenses of his entire family of 360 children. Admiral Rojestvensky's Russian fleet was sighted off Missouri City early yesterday about sunset. It was unable to be seen, however, as he has the ships liberally covered with invis- ible powders. It is claimed that the J apanese will overtake the admiral at Leavenworth. THE CENTRALIAN is in receipt of a new book on culinary maneuvers. It has no title, and the pages-6,438 in number-are printed with the reg- ular invisible ink. The author, Miss Kurobutterickpattern, resides- in Great Bend, Kan., and is but four hundred and eighteen years of age. It is remarkable in this d-ay to find a writer in one so young. A new instructor has been added to our faculty in the person of Dr. Abou Belladona. Cassicus, etc. He is highly recommended by the offi- cials of the National University, where he recently graduated with a string of degrees which, when ap- pended to his regular cognomen, make a name over five blocks in length.

Pupils cordially received. Mr. H. H. Holmes has gone to Xhfashington, D. C., to take up the office of President of the United States. He was urged to accept this position several months ago, but as he felt that his work was needed in Central, he then refused, but during the recent visit of Admiral Dewey, he was then shown that his services were properly with his country. H Mrs. Voorhees, while singing last week with her hat on, met with a peculiar accident. At a. certain high note. the music was forced through her veil, thereby straining her Voice. No serious injury was done, however, p THAT TEACHER GAME ID you ever notice that institutions, like folks, have their ways of doing things that distinguish them from the common herd? NVell, they have, and 'tOld Central, has some of these ways and in this wise: She's a winner all along the line- The winds of fortune may cut capers with her for a time, but in the fin al mix-up of the last inning you can depend on her to win! Did you ever know it to fail? And speaking of base ball-the faculty game, I mean-you know how it was. Our friends the Manual faculty, had a good team-of course, they did- only we had a better one, just at the right time, the time to win. You will never forget that mwnificent battery of ours-Graves and Bonnifield. Far be it from me to sug- gest' th-at Graves pitched at the bats of our friends, the enemy, or to insinuate that he had any criminal intent of foul play on their persons! All good slab artists have a puzzling delivery. Graves had that, so he must have been an artist. Bonnifield officiated behind the bat in his usual impressive style, beside acting as generalissimo-in-extraor- dinary a.nd executioner-in-chief at the wind-up. Of course you noticed our artist from the short grass country, who presided at first-our Vifright. His work was that of a veteran. When the sizzlers came his way he just reached out' and gathered them in without batting an eye-winker I And the rest of our stars? Well, space will not permit an extended panegyric on their performances. Gordon, in spite of his domestic cares, did himself proud. Hamil- ton was in the game all the time. We can 't exactly say that he played a.n errorless game-but really, we should not be too critical, the ball was very hard. The gardens were looked after in fine style by that matehless trio, Lewis, Touton and Holmes, E. 4 it . . . A35 T she just can't help it, thatt's all there is to it. The game started off with a rush-the usual whirl- wind affair that our friends find so hard to maintain and which leads one to suggest that they would find it a good idea to come into a closer knowledge of their own wind. As I have already intimated, this whirlwind start made things look bilious for Central. Bannister had an off day at third. That's no crime for we all have them. We can'1. remember what ball it was that he caught-but, no matter. Things really went badly all round. There were some who thought that Manual would never get out. At the close of the next to the last inning the score stood 8 to 7 in favor of Manual. Ayres had his war togs on, chafing to get into the game. Matters looked badly, but right here was where Bonnifield showed the master hand. Ayres was put in left field-a safe proposition as nothing ever went that way-and Lewis took charge of the third sack. Two Man- ualites went out and another knocked a little foozling pop- up which Lewis froze to. Then came the last half of the last inning with the score 8 to 7 against us. Did the hearts of our husky Pa's fail them? Nay, nay, nay, son! What mattered it that two men were out and the score still 8 to 7? Old Central had two men on bases and Bonnifield coming to bat. Cotton and Lewis and the whole bunch of our really truly ball tossers pranced up and down the side-lines yelling to Bon- nifield, You've got to do it! You've got to do it. 1 And did he do it? Well, I guess. He just brought the willow around into such intimate relation with the ball that it simply sailed out into space. The Manual fielders followed that ball like the small boy follows a balloon at a county fair-but what mattered it? The bases were cleared, the score stood 9 to 8, and Old Central won as she always does-just because its a way she has, 'THAT 'mm Excursions in the summer Seem quite to be the thingy But we really were delighted With the one We had this spring. Our ten cars were full of people When we left K. C. at oneg And those hours were surely pleasant Which we spent upon that run. I say the cars were crowded- And this I shall repeat. We were jammed so close together ' That we sat three in a seat. To some this seems peculiar, But I recollect with joy That the girls sat in the middle, And on each side sat a boy. We raided Hasty Lunch joints At Moberly, Missouri: 'Twas there we almost missed the train-- Oh, how we had to hurry! At Centralia, for half an hour, The brakeman said we'd stop, So every one climbed off the train And guzzled on soda-pop. At last we reached Columbia, A quarter after seven: To lunch, then, Academic Hall- We danced until eleven, Oh, how We spent that Friday night, The truth has ne'er been saidg It seems to me, at Fyfer's Hall , We slept five in a bed! But we don't mind such things as that, We were dreaming of the fun Which happened the next morning At the tune of four to one. P0:ETfRE BY' OUR BHRDJ' The track meet in the afternoon Was also won by usg But in the field and weight events Was where they made us-sigh. Another dance that evening - For the great Saint Louis bunch Was well attended by K. C., For we'd received the hunch. Then back we piled into the cars- Our yells were in the air. Our lungs were still quite lusty, so There was no slumber there. The coaches were still packed full, So for space economy We crowded just a little, and Made one seat serve for three. Thus through the night we traveled O'er that smooth and evenf?J track, It was early Sunday morning When we finally got back. Some of us ate breakfast, And some went straight to bed, Sleeping until nightfall, Declaring they were dead. Now in pleasant retrospection Of my happy schoolboy days, This trip stands like a beacon, Out of mem'ry's jumbled haze. And if any one should ask me If I'd like to go again, I'd voice the common sentiment And answer Yes. Amen. R1 Ex -Wy 'oe BROKE I-Ie took her to a ball game- I-Ie took her on a pass: A gallant Webster fellow Took an Aristonian lass. And when the game was over A quarrel did they make, About their journey homeward, Which car line they should take. The maiden thought a moment, Then giggled merrily: Let's have no words about it: Let's simply 'flip' and see. The Webster blushed to purple In grim embarrassment. I hope you won't insist, he said- I haven't got a cent! fWith apologies to the Jayhawkerj 'TO .H JXHNDLUICH And art thou gone, my sandwich, Victim to appetite's zest?
