This must needs be so, for heart beats, hand clasps, fine thoughts and helpful acts cannot be transcribed on the pages of a book. It means but little to say that the subject of this sketch was born in the neighboring town of Lisbon in 1867, that he attended the rural schools, that he prepared for college in the Cornell Academyg that he taught in the rural schools of Jones and of Marshall counties, and was superintendent of schools at Rhodes, Lime Springs, and Grundy Center. But such in brief is the outline of the life of John Elbert Stout up to the time when, in 1903, he came to Cornell College as a student to complete his college course. He took his A.B. degree with the class of 1904, and was at once appointed Professor of Education. Later he was made Principal of the Academy, and added these duties to the work of his department. But the call to still higher scholarship and efficiency made him seek leave of absence for study, and the fall of 1906 found him at the University of Chicago as a graduate student in Education. Then La Grange, Illinois, needed a prin- cipal for the large township high school of that place, and he was offered the position. Here followed two years of exceptional success as administrator of one of the most important high schools of the middle west. Still pursuing studies at Chicago, he took the degree Ph.lVI. in 1908. In spite of the pleadings and pro- tests of his La Grange Board and patrons against his leaving them, the fall of 1909 finds him again in his old position at Cornell. As if all this were not enough to achieve in a few short years, he answered, and is still answering, many calls to address teachers' institutes and other assemblies on a wide range of topics, thus extending his influence far beyond the range of the college. rlhese fact' are ev dence of '1 s cce f l '16 r b t n t Y l t f t '. fs. i ..u ssuc.zre,u oane. anaionoi.

A broad and deep big-heartedness, inclusive enough to take in all'who come in contact with him-this is the dominating note of his personality. None who have been fortunate enough to call him friend have failed to feel the fineness of his sympathy and the warmth of his humanity. But while one is likely first to be impressed by this side of his nature, one also immediately awakens to the fact that along with a warm heart goes a mind of crystal clearness in all its operations, a mind broad in its grasp, relentless in its logic, and untiring in its dc- mand for ultimate principles. - Professor Stout occupies a large place in the life of Cornell. His friendship is known and prized by hundreds of students, who have unhounded faith in his practical wisdom and in his loyalty to their best interests. As the years move onward the influence of his teachings and his example will hear fruit in many lives enriched 'by their contact with this man among men. G. H. B 0.13.-e el' LXR' J. I .'

FOGG An Appreriatinn JJ' No analysis of Professor Fogg's character will be attempted, for he was open and frank, read and known by all. He came of an excellent family and inherited many sterling qualities. He was loyal to his friends and to all the interests with which he was connected. He loved the church and neglected none of the duties growing out of his church membership. He was interested in moral movements and civic reform, and gave of his time and money to advance every good cause and to promote the welfare of society. That he found strength for all he under- took is a marvel, but the worldlis better for his having lived in it, and those he taught will carry on the work he desired done. Briefly, Prof. Fogg was a Christian man who realized the responsibilities of life, and who tried to do fully all the will of the Master. If all professing Christians were as true, the world would be regenerated and the light of the millennial morn would soon appear. Though our brother is dead he will ever live in the memories of those who knew his unselfish and useful life. l 1 I I The btuhents THE FACULTY BALL TEAM THE SENIOR BALL TEAM f ' .3- f 5 Z 4' 7 - z Q- wma X .'

Yellow and Gray. f 'f w-vt-W lqiztnrg uf Svminr Gilman ,, , Four long years ago while King still reigned over Cornell, about one hun- dred ordinary, green freshmen arrived upon the campus and entered upon their scholastic training. The faculty and upper classmen undertook their develop- ment and have given very valuable assistance throughout the years. Whether they, as a class, have always been considered harmless or favored is an unanswered question. Certain it is, however, that their simple functions, such asa banquet at Stanwood and a picnic at Abbey Creek called forth no severe discipline or undue comment. Their entrance into college was peaceful, occasioning no such affair as a tug of war, and peaceful has been their residence. But to he called peaceful or even harmless cannot in their case he considered a disgrace, since everyone knows that great work is often done quietly. They boast no wonderful achievement as a class. They leave no conspicuous monu- ment upon the campus. But filed away in the dusty alcoves in Rooms VII and VIII of College Hall are some huge volumes, upon whose pages are recorded after some names, alphabetical hieroglyphics of the first order. The class of 1910 contains scholars who are an honor to their Alma Mater. Twice have members of this body won honors in oratorical fields at home and one conquered in the state contest. They have sent out debaters who have also returned home laden with laurels. . In every college activity they have contributed winning men and women and since history repeats itself the records in the years to come will only ful- fill the past and present expectations. YELL.

Uhr Gilman nf '11 Whenever a writer sets out to chronicle the history of a remarkable people, the greatness of the task must fill even the most capable with humility and cause him to realize the weakness of mere words when wonderful deeds are to he related. It is thus that I feel as I think over the history of the class of 1911 and try to gather my thoughts in order to sing its praise in fitting terms. In the fall of 1907 this class entered Cornell College and all Cornell past, present and future shall have cause to rejoice over this event when in future years-- Ah, I wander on, led by the promise of greatness which I see in the budding, flourishing life of this class. I From the beginning these freshmen were not as other freshmen. In the first place there was a lack of that color which usually distinguishes the freshman from his fellows. Upper classmen looked about and asked each other, XVhere are the verdant freshmen? Surely these sophisticated youths have seen college life elsewhere. On the other hand that color usually lacking in the frontal regions of freshmen- was present to such a degree that the professors when they listened to this class looked puzzled and consulted their schedules to find out whether these were really freshmen or sophomores or juniors. Nobility of character and religious fervor characterized this class from the beginning. The first was shown when the class voted to give the class sweater money to the gym fund. The baseness of a certain other class was shown when it attributed the lack of 'I 1,8 sweaters to absence of class spirit. The sec- ond quality was demonstrated by the fact that not even the freshmen banquet could be planned until after the class had been inspired and uplifted by their weekly prayer meeting. But do not think that this class contained only hollow-eyed scholarsor pol- ished society birds. The members of this class are not and never have been of the one-story type. Every one is a skyscraper. As a class, in athletics the men have never landed many victories. But why? Because all the many athletes of this class put aside any sectional feel- ing and heroically and unselfishly gave their all to Varsity for the honor of Cornell. In the spring of ,OQ the first great victory came to this class. They won the inter-class track meet, easily and gracefully, with the true spirit of the old- gold and white. Chauncey lVIerwin unselfishly won first place in three events and second in another. Jay Oliver walked off with the mile race and Glenn Hovey obligingly won the 220 yard dash. The girls, too, have done their part to increase the fame of this class. Though they have not always won in athletic contests they have accepted defeat graciously and gracefully. The Junior hockey team won the championship in the fall of '09 and lVIabel Wagner was the tennis champion in the same fall. Other girls of the class have devoted more time to social life and scholarship and took their exercise by frequent walks around the world. The spirit of this class has been one of true humility, which is the highest nobility. Hence I know it would be the wish of all that I should not boast of their power and glory. I have tried with the spi1'it of a true historian to give the facts without pride or prejudice that they may serve as an inspiration to all classes that are striving for what is great and glorious in college life.

Miztnrg nf 1912 JA' 11RoLoGUE V . And it was the 13th of September. And the year was 1908. And the grass on the campus was mowed. And the new cement walks were swept. And the stones were blacked. And James Ef' went home from the office. And likewise went home the Ristines and Prof. Torrance. And lo, darkness covered the earth and it was night. I HISTORY PROPER The next day, the sun shone warm and bright. Freshmen gathered in grad- uation suits and dresses. They registered and paid their tuition--having not as yet learned how to sign a note. Thus, began the life of the illustrious class of 1912. They drank of faculty booze and HY. M. fellowship until ordinary mortals would have lost their heads. .il ' After various meetings Burton Minish was unanimously elected president. A little later, October 26, they eluded the watchful eyes of the Sophomores and Faculty and held a banquet at the American Auditorium in Cedar Rapids. For this clever piece of work they were awarded three hours extra work. During this period the class showed their athletic prowess. The girls won the basket ball cup and the boys the 'football championship. - i At the beginning of the Sophomore year Raymond Reitzel was elected pres- ident. The girls again won the basket ball cup and the boys were again cham- pions in football. During the winter term the boys won the first series of the class basket ball games. After losing six men to the varsity squad, they gave the academy team, which had not lost a mmigia hard fight for' the championship of the second series, losing because they were olitof condition. Certainly this class has carved out for itself a place of which all the other classes may well be, jealous. Its members are all jolly good fellows. They excel in athletics and are diligent in their studies.

A Svtnrg nf the Zlnfzmt Glaze One bright September day in the year IQOQ, the campus at Cornell, which the day before had been quiet and lonesome, resounded with the patter Of little feet and the sound of baby voices. The new infant-sometimes called Freshman -class were going to the main building to tell kind Prof. Betts their names and what good children they had been. The dear man, who has a way with chil- dren, 1'eceived them kindly and Sent them down Stairs to room 5. Some of them found it that day but others not till the next, for though there were large Signs out telling them where to go, they naturally got confused in the rush and roar. After a few days they found out what studies would not be too hard for their young and tender minds and began really to go to school. Now had these children gone quietly about their work and felt that position was one in which children should be seen and not heard all would have gone well. But, alas, they wanted to play with the bigger children and thought that they could play better. The bigger children took this all as a huge joke and finally, to take the pride out of the youngsters, they asked them to play at tug- of-war with them. All the older children and even the young people Went to see this tug-of- war. The poor infants were ducked twice and all that saved them from a third wetting was that the little boys on that team were especially delicate and'the older boys knew they would have the croup if they got their feet wet. For a time the children were quiet. Then they decided they wanted a banquet. It was .really quite funny that youngsters who had just come from a diet of bread and milk and oatmeal, should think of anything so hard on their little digestions as a banquet. They had to go away off to Cedar Rapids to get this banquet and as they were afraid to go alone they asked some of their teachers to go along and take care of them. They all reported a very nice time and only a few were ill from the effects of it. The next strange and pretentious act was the organization of a football team for the little boys, and a basketball team for the girls. They didn't seem to know that it took men to play football and the poor children lost every game. The little girls didn't do any better. The other classes were wearing sweaters and of course the youngsters wanted some also. Their mammas had always selected their clothes for them so it was natural that they should be a long time choosing their colors. And such colors! Their poor mammas undoubtedly had bad dreams when their chil- dren visited them at Xmas time. Not daunted by their defeats, these children, now growing strong and rosy- cheeked on the diet of Bowman Hall, organized basket-ball teams and ventured to play the older pupils. Here they were again defeated by the class just be- yond them. They have now reached the period when they have ceased to gaze in won- derment at the chapel tower and to walk gingerly across the stack-room floors in the Library. Mfany are not afraid to go alone or by twos to the Wayside Inn and a few are bold enough to go away down town to Hen's. What is more wonderful, the boys spend their papas' hard-earned money buying the little girls candy and taking them to the show. Since spring has come they are venturing to go out to the Palisades and stay all day gathering flowers and playing with the pebbles. We hope the Palisades man won't be rash enough to let them have a boat. They are boast- ing of what they shall do in baseball, but the others think of the past and smile, while we older folk look on and sigh- Oh, you young America,,-and write the story of the infant class who, through pride, tried and failed, as a warning to all infant classes yet to come. , i , ,,.. .,.-, ....

F, COLEMAN Winner of State Oratorical Contest, 1910 'he ighilnznphg nf the illarv 1Hrnhlem CFrom a Negro's Viewpointj M , Ragged, half-starved, heavy-hearted, . . he returned . . to find his house in ruins, his farm devastated ,... his stock killed ,... his trade destroyed, his social system, feudal in its magnificence, swept away. In these words Henry W. Grady has depicted the return of the Confederate soldier at the close of the Civil War. But there was a more pathetic scene. Picture, if you can, the newly-liberated slave. He, too, is ragged, half-starved and heavy-hearted. He possesses no home, for his life-energy has been expended in behalf of his master. Released from bondage, he knows not how to use his freedom. He may not become a merchant, for he has no caiptal. He may not become a farmer, for he owns no land. He may not become a mechanic, for he knows no trade. He may not teach his fellow-creatures, for he has not the rudiments of an education. Ignorant, resourceless, powerless, without home, without food, without money, without a trade, he faces a new and untried life of care and responsibility. He is encompassed by a people solieitous, not for his progress, but for its own injured pride and prestige-a South of hostility and vengeful jealousy. Such wasithe condition of the negro at the close of the Civil War. To lift this tragic figure from a maelstrom of despair, to make this land a home to him instead of a prison, to give him knowledge for ignorance, self- support for destitution, virtue for immorality, to teach him the broad meaning of liberty and good citizenship--the execution of these tasks constitutes the great race problem. Justice and opportunity for the negro, demanded by Lovejoy and the Aboli- tionists, authorized by Lincoln and the Reconstruction Congress, are prime requisites in the solution of this problem. But in that section of our country most vitally concerned, justice and opportunity, in many instances, have been withheld, and the advancement of the negro, made possible -under the new dis- pensation, has been seriously impeded. This situation has been brought about through the advice of certain agitators who decry the bestowal of education, the franchise, and industrial equity upon the blacks. I have no quarrel with these agitators as men. When I reject their policy, I oppose not the men, but the The Royal Purple, Vol. X, principles which they represent. My purpose is to disclose fallaciesinherent in the philosophy by which they would solve the present p1'oblem, and to reiterate those principles which already bid fair to establish harmony and peace. Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr., one spokesman for this class, argues that to estab- lish equal terms between the races is to effect ultimate amalgamation. If a man believes in equality, he challenges, let him prove it by giving his daughter in marriage to a negro. I hold that civic and economic equality does not necessar- ily mean social mixture. On the contrary, to grant a race social standing is to increase its race pride, and render it more anxious to preserve its type dis- tinct. The truth is that the mulatto came not through the fault of the negro, and that where advanced intelligence has controlled freedom of selection, the new generation is darker than the last. , Mr. Dixon argues further that the educated negro cannot live and labor in the same land on equal terms with the whites, that sooner or later he will feel upon his throat the clutch of the white man's unwritten laws-those laws which deny to him the possibility of a career, and drive him to a choice between a sui- cide's grave and a prison cell. And yet, in spite of this assertion, the sophist ex- claims: I believe in God's call to our race to establish and maintain for weaker races, as a trust for civilization, the principles of civil and religious libertyf' Are we to believe that the white race of America will maintain civilization in trust for weaker races, are we to believe that it will establish the principles of civil and religious liberty to clutching the negro's throat, and forcing him to a prison cell' or a suicide's grave? Or are we to believe that those principles of justice and equity which rescued Mexico from Maxiinilian, preserved intact the unity of China, liberated the Cuban and emancipated the Filipino will break beneath their own weight if applied to the American negro? Mr. Dixon seems to believe that physical characteristics are more potent factors in determining racial possibilities than are mental and moral traits. Still speaking of the negro, he says: The more you educate, the more impossible you render his position in a democracy. Can you change the color of his skin, the kink of his hair, the bulge of his lips, or the spread of his nose with a spelling- book? I thank an all-kind Creator for this tremendous possibility, that my skin, though black, may cover a heart as pure as any that beats within a Saxon's breast. I thank him that my hair, though kinked, may cover a brain which can think as clearly, and reason as profoundly as that of the fairest white. I thank Him that the bulge of my lips and the spread of my nose need not forever be the inevitable tokens of my disgrace-that they may become my badge of honor if, after 'fifty years of education, I can show the rudiments at least, of that mental and moral development, to acquire which, the Anglo-Saxon has taken a half- score of centuries. r !.......... I Z,-,--N Zum, .-,. ,,..,..... 1..- Cornell College But why quote further? After he has contemned and maligned the negro with rankest venom, Mr. Dixon has no remedy to suggest except deportation- a theory long since discarded by serious students of the race problem. Less subtle in sophistry, but more dynamic in hate are the uttercnces of the prominent Sen- ator from South Carolina. He dabbles little in the philosophy of the question. The negro is here, and he hates him, therefore, he condones the use of the shot- gun, the torch and the hangman's noose to intimidate and crush him, and stands willing to help force him to keep in his place,', or to drive him completely out of the republic. He gives vent to his malice chiefly by expressing what he terms the menace of the negro to the country's morals. He delights to ask: What would you do if your daughter were ruined by a black wretch?,' Neither the strongest sympathizcr of the race nor any intelligent negro will condone crime because the perpetrator is black. But what would you do if you were a negro, possesssed of education and Christian training, and your wife, your daughters were never safe from those who assume that all black women are unchaste? We accept Mr. Tillmanls assertion that the negro is l'l0t the equal of the white. It is not remarkable that the white race, with centuries of development in' an environment of freedom, has risen superior to a race whose only inheritance is ignorance and oppression. But is the negro incapable of acquiring a culture equal to that of the white? Remember, yesterday the negro was a chattel in the market, beaten by lashes and bound by chains, the child of hopeless, unrewarded toil. In him ambition was an evil, education a crime, every faculty of his mind and soul was rigidly suppressed. Today, the world is moved by the pathos of Dunbar, it thrills with the powerful fiction of Chestnutt and Dumas, it listens, entranced, to the rythmic cadences of Coleridge Taylor, it praises the superior generalship of Toussaint L'Ouvertureg it applauds the forceful energy and ster- ling charcters of Bowen, Vernor, Gaines, Du Bois, and it thunders with enthusi- asm before the inspiring eloquence of Bruce, Douglas, lvfason and Booker VVash- ington. The genius of these individuals is the gift of God to black men-men whose stupendous labors have been performed with hands marked by manacles and scarred by chains. We point to their achievments as indications of the cultural possibilities of the race. If we accept the advice of the agitators from the Southland, ten million souls, pregnant with possibilities, shall lose from within their very grasp the greatest boon which the Almighty has bestowed upon the human race-the ability and the opportunity to achieve. Embued with the power of thought, they may not think, capable of achievement, they may not venture, stirred by ambition, they may not strive. They must remain hewers of wood and drawers of The Royal Purple, V ol. X, water, beasts of burden with souls and brains. Longing for knowledge, thirst- ing for culture, they must turn their backs upon both, and continue to toil with- out hope of recognition or reward. Will you who love justice consent to governmental methods which ignore the simplest rights of the ngro? Will you accept, then, these pernicious doctrines of foul injustice and base intimidation masked behind the fair-sounding terms, white supremacy and Anglo-Saxon dominationn? Can this policy preserve the nation's safety, harmony and peace? Not the vehement denunciation of a Vardaman, nor the biased legislation of a Hoke Smith, nor the malicious hatred of a Tillman, nor the subtle venom of a Dixon can solve the race problem. It has ceased to be merely an intellectual puzzleg it is largely a matter for the heart and will. Mutllal sacrifice is necessary. The blacks have suffered and must continue to suffer. The whites must endure the consequence of their fathers' sins. Side by side must the races strive to lift this mighty burden. Universal heroism on the part of the blacks--the willingness to suffer, and the ambition to advance-universal altruism on the part of the whites-flinging wide the door of opportunity, patiently leading a faltering race along the rugged path of progress -these are the factors that must ultimately prevail! Could the martyred Lincoln have lived to execute fully the policy for which he gave his life, would he have countenanced a rule of injustice and oppression? I seek my answer in the past, anda vision of that heroic soul unfolds to my eyes. I see him watching in the Southern martg I note the firm resolve that hardens his face like steel. I see him opposed to Douglas in the clash of giant-minds, battling for justice to a helpless race. I see him bearing the burden of a nation's destiny, and imploring divine guidance to lead his steps aright. I see him pen the immortal words that free four million souls. I see him wounded, bleeding, dying--and for me. And my heart cannot believe that so great a soul would commit the cause for which he lived and died to the policies of men who would discard as loose robes the civilization of centuries, and stride naked into an arena of barbarism and hate. Rather would he strive for peace and harmony between the races-separate in type, but united in spirit--brothers in industry, brothers in freedom, brothers in the love of eternal justice. We strive for peace, and for enduring peaceg but that can be found only in fraternal love. Brief, indeed, will be the tranquility of the nation if its peace be secured by grinding into vassalage a people whose nostrils have breathed the breath of liberty, whose lips have poured forth the glad song of freedom. lXIay that breath never fail! May that song never cease! May America incarnate in her sons and daughters the spirit of her martyred deadg may they repledge their loyalty to him whose sacred dust they hallowg may they renew their devotion to Comell College the noble work he left unfinished! May closer understanding link Saxon and Freedman in mutual sympathy, that the covenant of friendship may be sealed for- ever! Then Peace, that elusive guerdon of our dreams, shall become a reality, an actual possession--to white and black alike a noble and lasting heritage. L. Z. TERRALL llL...lll- D. VV. PEISEN I A V. A.

Our well equip- ,N Q . -W. in ' ped gymnasium and our magnificent athletic park, second to none in possibilities and even now to but few in reality, attest the confirmed judgment of the college authorities that athletics have an essential and fundamental place in college work. Too often in universities and colleges the only standard of athletic success is victory over a rival team or college. To secure this success, then, every means possible, even though questionable, are adopted. All interest and attention is cen- tered on the few who make the Varsity, those who fail to makeithe first string usually drop off and only a few men, and it is true, those who need it the least, get the benefits and advantages of the training. At Cornell our idea is that athletics are for the student, first, last and all the time. What we need is not 'more student athletics but more athletic students, men of brains and intellects who can back up their mental abil- ity with strong well trained bodies, undaunted courage, and an indominitable will. These essentials for success in life can be 'gained nowhere as they can on the athletic Held. ,Consequently our aim is a sys- tem that will enlist every student in college inixsome branch of athletics. Such a system of athletics must be diversified as to cover all classes of students. We hope that the day will soon come when every student from the beginning of his course to the end of his Senior year will engage enthusiastically in athletics, and make a sport of them. Nothing less can justify the large expenditure for the gymnasium, athletic field and the generous facilities we now enjoy. With this ideal then, as a standard, no one who witnessed a single night of football practice during the past season, would say that the season was not emi- nently successful. Besides a varsity squad of twenty-two men, a second string or scrub team of twenty more, a Freshman squad of about thirty men working every night, the interclass schedule, that barred any of the aforementioned, called out a squad from each class and the Academy, that ranged from twelve to twenty men each. Between one and two hundred men, therefore, almost 50 per cent of the entire enrollment, enjoyed the advantages and benefits of training, learned self- restraint and control, patience and fortitude, confidence in themselves as well forming habits of right living. By this system of barring those who are admitted- ly stronger, heavier and more experienced, the other men are given a better chance. In this way many a man had Found himself who would otherwise never have discovered his latent ability. But we believe also in intercollegiate athletics. It fosters in the student body a genuine spirit of loyalty toward their Alma Mater, and if carried on rightly, it promotes the best of feelings, side by side with a wholesome rivalry between the institutions, Intercollegiate athletics set a standard to strive for, just as an all-round well-developed athlete sets a standard for his weaker brother to strive for. Surely Intercollegiate athletics are an important part of our system. judged by the criterion of games won, the season of IQOQ was a success, too. With a large squad of players the outlook was promising. To be sure the ambition of some optimists did not reach fruition, but we cannot look back upon the results accomplished with anything but satisfaction. The season opened at home with Highland Park and they were easily disposed of. The team showed great offensive ability, scoring a half dozen or more touchdowns, but a fumbled ball near the goal line gave a Highlander an opportunity to sprint the length of the field for a touchdown. The following Saturday we journeyed to Iowa in a rain storm. The field, sprinkled profusely the day before to settle the dust, was anything but suitable for our style of play. The team played a great defensive game against odds and time and again stopped the fierce rushes of the Hawkeyes. A penalty near the end of the game gave Iowa a chanceito clropkick the only score of the game. After this the only bit of open work tried by either team might have scored for us but for an unfortunate fumble. The Monmouth game was played in a sea of mud, too. Three touchdowns and no goals were scored by Cornell in the second half. After a hard all night ride to Sioux City that took all the pep out of the team three touchdowns and three goals were made on Morningside-in the first half. The score was kept there by a more determined defense on Morningside's part and a lack of team work and inconsistent work on ours in the second half. The Ames game is still somewhat of a blue in our memory. After the first twenty minutes of punting back and forth, Cornell began open plays from midfield and three sufliced for a touchdown. Ames, stung by the defeat of last year and the speed with which the score was made, now began their relentless line plung- ing tactics. The next few minutes were the most disastrous Cornell has ever experienced on the football field. Four men were injured so severel-y that they were forced from the game. Lacking substitutes of equal caliber our machine was broken. A Half of the men left in the game were then even physically unfit but there were none to take their places. Ames scored once in this half. The second open- ed with the gamest exhibition of football ever put up by Cornell. With a changed ,. .f . 471- .fi ,Ishii 5,1 ,. : iw- 4, ,fn -5- W.

Here a misunderstanding forced a kick that failed. Ames in desperation played like demons and the battered Cornell line could not hold. A score was then made by straight line-plunging and just before the final whistle a poor decision gave Ames another touchdown, making a total of I8 to 6. To win the two remaining games and the intercollegiate championship drastic measures were necessary. The Varsity with five important cogs missing were unequal to the task. It was thought that if the scrubs, playing an entirely different style of game and using different signals could hold Coe to a low score in the first half, the Varsity, going in fresh in the second might overcome the advantage and still be in shape for Grinnell. The scrubs rose to the occasion mightily. They all but beat Coe up to fifteen minutes from the end of the game. The whole Varsity was then substituted and easily scored two touchdowns on the tired Coeites. The final test came the following Saturday against Grinnell. Playing in- different ball all season Grinnell made up for her short-comings by rallying and playing as usual a terrific game against Cornell. With the team all disarranged an account of injuries Cornell fought valiantly, too. It was a great game, such a game as we love to play. Every man on each team playing to his limit, the ball seesawing up and back, the vast throng of friendly rivals on the hillside madly urging on their teams to greater effort, all this with spectacular playing now and then made it a never to be forgotten game. Cornell could not be de- nied and rushed over the goal line once and were within striking distance when time Wm called. For the first time in ten years or more Cornell had defeated her ancient and respected rival, surely a fitting climax to a season successful in every way. A. -.-, .fcgnal-v-m fx ev 'V V' FRESHMAN SQUAD Ellie Freshman Svvaann J! The Freshman team this year was an especially loyal bunch considering that they had no regular games to play, but their scrimmage work against the varsity demonstrated that they could have made a very creditable showing against any other opponents. The squad was as green as it was loyal, but the excellence of the material, together with the eagerness for the game and a willingness to work soon made possible a fairly good team which later developed to such a point that they were able to give the varsity many good scrimmagesq The squad was so large that it was no small task to give all the men a try- out in the various positions, but the team ended the season with the following men doing the most promising work and they were awarded numerals for this loyalty and the excellence of their work.

The team while not exceptional in the hitting department maintained an efheient set of men on both the infield and out, and won several games by pulling out of some very tight places. The first game was with Morningside, Cornell winning, 4-3. The team went down to defeat at the hands of Grinnell, Jarnigan their pitcher, allowing but one hit. Ames however was beaten 6-2 in a hard fought con- test. On the trip the team was successful. The game with Ames was called at the end of the third inning with the score 2-2. Sunday, the team spent at Des lVIoines, going to Grinnell hionday where that team was taken into camp to the tune of 3 to 2 in one of the fastest games of the season. Returning home Coe was beaten in a batting match 13-6. This game furnished much amusement for the innocent bystanders, both Coe and Cornell getting home runs. The team then played the State Univer- sity at Iowa City and lost a well played game 4-2. The Saturday morning of the Festival week, Iowa City played here and won, 6-5, although there was some question as to its being a game won upon its merits. The last game was played at Cedar Rapids against Coe, the Presbyterians being beaten 5-4. by some exceedingly clever fielding in the last inning. The team as a whole played consistent ball and in looking over the season there is much satisfaction in the fact that Grinnell with Jaringan in the box was beaten. V. A. Bird F. G. Coppess A. A.

On May 15th occurred the invitation meet at f ' Cedar Falls. Coe, Simpson, State Teachers College, f Lennox and Cornell participated. The cold weather 2.4 .' and the heavy wind which is always blowing on top of S Normal Hill was too much for both Coe and Cornell ' and the teachers won by a large score, getting 58 points, Coe second with 32, Cornell third with 29, and Simpson fourth with 22. Cornell won the mile re- lay as usual. French and Tucker did the best individual work for Cornell. At Mount Vernon on June 5th the Coe-Cornell meet took place resulting in a tie, each getting 68 points. All the men did good work but were unable to pull down the necessary majority. Many solutions to the problem could be found after the meet, such as Tucker losing a shoe in the quarter mile, the high hurdles misplaced, lVIerwin so all in after the relay that he couldn't broad jump, but they were things that could not be helped. Bickebach pressed Ben- bow hard in the 220 and IOO, taking second in each eventg Oliver gave VVilcox a hard run for the mileg Elmo Lott took good care of the 4405 Merwin had easy work in the half mile. The mile relay was a snap for Cornell, and Simpson was so far ahead in the two mile that it wasn't any fun for the spectators. Lusk and Merwin tied for first in the pole-vault, not jumping it off because Mervsfin had other more important work to do. French won the discus and Peiscn realized the ambition of his athletic career hy winning the shot. Wilder, Williams, Simpson, French, Bickenbach, Lusk, Peison, and Richardson won an even half of the points won hy Cornell.

' 2 R 1 Blanket Kali Swann uf 19111 For the first time in her history Cornell has been represented by a basket ball team, and the way the stu- dent body supported the team is surely very encouraging. In looking over the record of the season, the impres- sion that one receives is that our team had a very unsuc- cessful season. If we look at it from a standpoint of games lost and won it was, but then if we look at it from a standpoint of good fighting spirit developed and the reg- ularity with which the men reported for practice, it was not. We were handicapped somewhat by not having an early start, and also from the fact that none of the players had ever played together before. Thus, as a result, team- work, which is a very essential feature in this branch of sports, was lacking. With all this year's squad back in school next year and a larger number from the lower classes, the prospects for Cornell's having a first class basket ball team next year are very bright. E. F.

ROREM Captain 1909 I Punta in IHHH M' The tennis season of ,OQ opened with four men in school who had played on teams of previous years. These men were Rorem, White, R. Pollock, and Es- gate, but on account of eligibility rules, VVhite's hopes were blasted and tennis stock took a fall. ln spite of weather and faculty deliberation, the courts were finally put in shape and contesting for places was commenced. Cornell, repre- sented bv Rorem, Pollock, Elijah and C. J. Smith, took four matches out of six away from Coe in the first tournament of the season. 'Four men from Iowa City were then met on our courts, and defeated in each of the six matches played. Esgate played in this tournament in the place of C. Smith. T Ames next defeated our first team, Rorem and Elijah, in all three matches Our men were out of condition as is substantiated by the fact that Ames had lost to the'Coe team that was defeated by Cornell. The state tournament at Coe was next in line. Cornell played the finals in both doubles and singles, and likewise lost them both to our Norwegian friends from Luther. The finals went to Luther only after a long, hard-fought match of five sets, Cornell having won two out of the first three played. In this match Rorem displayed the most brilliant tennis of the whole tournament. After the state tournament, interest in tennis decreased, and Rorem played no more tournaments. A two man tournament was lost to Ames, R. Pollock taking Rorem's place. Elijah revenged himself by defeating the man by whom he had been defeated at Ames. ' The season was closed by losing five matches out of six to Iowa City. C. J. Smith, Elijah, Esgate and Pollock played in this tournament, Elijah winning the only match by taking two lone sets. Although a good many matches were lost during the season, Cornell proved in the state tournament that Luther was her only superior, and this by a very small margin. Although the season at no time approached the times of Gravy Hayes, yet it must be accounted the best since his day. mentors nf the LI C. G. Rorem R. I. Pollock C. Smith D. E. Elijah A. T.

I pingponged all the French nasals I knew at him trying to make him understand that the Academy first team, captained by Helen McLeod, was beaten by the Freshman first team, captain Heta Pascal, which in turn was beaten by the Sophomores' first teams under Ruth Gallopg then the Senior team with joy Hartung as captain having beaten the Junior team with Guinevere Sheets as captain played the Sophomore team for the silver cup, with the result that the name of the winning Sophomore team was engraved on the cup as the year's champion. Meanwhile the Freshmen second team under Hazel Thornley beat the Academy second team, captain Flora Finley. While I was catching my breath again, Zeppelin remarked, Allons. Zen ze daughters play not Croquet but zis game. How is it wonderful-ze ball go galloping down ze field into ze hands of zoze tall in-front people, go v'lan throo ze hole in ze air, some one yells 'Nine for ze team 3' it stops itself for ze hurrahs, until ze women zey are all so respectful to whistles for it all to start again.

This consisted of a series of marches, drills and dances, and was given in Ash Park. The program opened with an overture by the Amphictyon orchestra, after which nearly one hundred girls, all dressed in white, were seen marching down through the trees from the chapel. The first number was the grand march, followed by a. Schottische series, and a drill, participated in by all classes. Another number was given by the orchestra. The next was a series of folk dances of the various countries, given by the Freshmen. First was the Darkey Schottische, followed by the Swedish Klap dans, and this series ended with a class day Polka. The Sophomores then gave three American play dances: the Unique, Cinderella, and the Bumblebee. After a lVIay Song by Elizabeth Neff, the Juniors who had won the honor of choosing the lVIay Queen, ushered in lVIiss Helen Black with her train of singing maidens. After the crowning of the queen, the Juniors. gave the rythmie American Beautyl' in her honor. The Sophomores followed with the Sylphette Polka, after which all classes took part in the winding of the May Pole as the closing feature. . l I ihnrkvg JI Ah, but one moment before we sail onf' said Zeppelin. Zey have told me zat in Iowa, zis same Cornell is pioneer in hockey. It would be an excellent pleasure to me to behold one game, l will descend. So the airship descended a little way over the field, and Zeppelin heard that the eleven champions with their captain, Lillian Jurgens, had gone to Cedar Rapids to represent the Varsity in a match with Coe. The wind was blowing a good gale in that direction, the airship was in good trim, and was easily carried along, so he was soon over the Coe field. But, alas, the clouds descended, and the rain fell, and the field was almost reduced to a pond. In spite of this the girls worked bravely through the first 'fifteen minutes half, and Cornell kept the ball near her goal during most of the game, but so persistent was the rain, that the captain called off the game. Zeppelin, however, was enthusiastic over the good plays made. Bravol Bravo! he exclaimed rapturously. Parbleul Zey are ze fine madamoiselles, ze magnificent Cornell mamlselles. lklon Dieu! How zey play ze game wiz ze grande vigor and spirit. Anozer year ze Cornell mam'selles will win by a high score. Oui, oui. Ah, l shall return next year to see ze Cornell games again. Au revoirf' Then as the airship faded into the distance, the last distinguishable hits of color were the purple and white of Cornell. MABEL E. WAGNER Girls' Champion Glennie Jil' Tennis is an old favorite, and this year some really good tennis players were developed. In the final tournament, which was a contest among old players, only Mabel Wagner and Gladys Persons won semi-finals and the final honors were carried off by Mabel Wagner. This has been the best year for Girls' athletics we have ever had. More girls took part, better work was done, better results gained and we see in this only the beginning of what the future holds for Greater Cornell.

During the entire year the work has moved forward with an energy and definiteness that held the interest of the officers and members. As a result of this many goals have been reached and a few of the results have exceeded the hopes of the Cabinet, but this is not true of all lines of the work for in others they fell far short of the mark aimed at. To the cabinet and the committees is due much credit for the results ac- complished. During the year there were twenty-eight weekly cabinet meetings held and the average attendance of the cabinet members at these meetings was sixty-two per cent. There was constant sympathy and harmony among the men in the work and they all had an interest in the general welfare of the association. To sum it up, this was the result of a consecration on the part of each man to his duty and the realization of his stewardship. MARBLIC RUCIC GOSPEL TEAM PALO GOSPEL TEAM MAR'1'I9LI,E Gi PSPICI, TEA M LOST NATION GOSPEL TEAM DI'2LEGATI'lS TO THE ROCHESTPZR CONVENTION Qlnrnvll at the Eurhezter Glnnunntinn dll' The Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions is beyond question one of the most significant movements of our time. This is perfectly clear to anyone that has attempted to sound the depth of the calm enthusiasm of one of its great conventions and especially to measure its richly increasing fruitfulness. The convention held in Rochester during five days at the turn of the year was the sixth of the series and the greatest. It was composed of between three and four thousand student delegates representing most of the Protestant and non- denominational institutions of higher education in the United States and Canada, hundreds of professors from the same institutions, together with a multitude of invited or accredited guests from these and other 'lands-missionaries, oHicers of missionary societies, journalists, ministers and laymen prominent in the mission- ary enterprise. Then there was a notable array of speakers, among them such men as the Hon. James Bryce, British Ambassador in Washingtong Dr. Julius Richter, a leading German authority on the history of missionsg Dr. S. M. Zwemer, the heroic leader of Christian missions among the Mohammedansg Bishop Hartzell of Africa, Bishop McDowellg Mr. Robt. E. Speer: and of course that remarkable leader of the movement, Mr. John R. Mott. Here thousands of young people gained the world-vision, which only Christ can give. And with the vision there comes also the clear call to each to do his part, abroad or at home, as Christ our Leader may appoint. The convention was character- ized by wonderful sobriety. Its power was genuine-the persuasive power of the truth and the Spirit of God. Cornell's representation at Rochester was as large as the rules permitted. The Christian Associations were represented by Misses Helmer, Hartung, Glea- son and Deremer, and Messrs. Putnam, Reitzel and Kipp, the Faculty by Pro- fessors Riley and Van Pelt. All are exceedingly grateful for one of the rarest privileges of their lives. x - x . Uhr Hnungi 1Mnmm'a Glhriutian Ananriatinn President . Vice President Secretary . Treasurer -. Devotional .

Auburn, Cedar Rapids, Home Concert 'he Gbrrhratra Grip J! just why members of the Cornell Orchestra are so conspicuously, so out- rageously happy over the prospect of the approaching Spring tour, is always much of a mystery to the great ranks of the uninitiated. What there is about a ten- days jaunt over the highways and byways of more or less rural Iowa, to fire the imagination of otherwise sane and reasonable beings, they cannot understand. Perhaps it is all foolishness. Being prejudiced observers, we are hardly in a position to say, but certain it is that for those who have tried it most, the future is always inviting and the past a charming memory. Orchestra work is a dis- cipline, and it does mean steady, persistent labor, but it brings its rewards, and of these a pleasant spring trip is but one. ' The tour of 1910 was really memorable. From the standpoint of dates filled, miles traveled, and, Cmost of the members addj discomforts undergone, it surpassed all others. That this latter fact is true, implies no discredit to the efficient manager, lVIr. Aleck A. Smith, for, had it not been for his thoughtful foresight, the trip would hardly have been possible at all. Our palatial private car atoned for many of the woes of all-day travel, and, wherever it was possible, we had all the comforts that could be provided. In addition to soloists from the Orchestra itself, two artists were carried, Miss Bertha Hart, pianist and instructor in the Conservatory of Music, and either Miss Jane Lewis, instructor in the School of Oratory, or llliss Lillian Jurgens, advanced pupil in the same. Miss Hart is a recent addition to the Faculty of lVIusic, and this was her first tour with the Orchestra. She rendered Grieg's First Concertol' with splendid fire, abundant technique and great tonal beauty. Her work was ap- preciatively received by all discriminating audiences. The work of the readers, Miss Lewis and Miss Jurgens, provided a pleasant break in the otherwise continuously musical program, and won liberal encores everywhere. Of the orchestra, three members did solo work--Miss Ridgway, concert meistering Mr. Blackwell, first trombone, and Miss Daniel, soprano. Miss Ridgway's really exceptional work won universal plaudits. Miss Ridgway is not only a delightful soloist, but a most valuable member of the orchestra. Should she maintain her present decision not to go on another tour, the orchestra will scarcely be able to fill her place. Mr. Blackwell ishone of that rare class who play brass instruments with art and discretion. His smooth, mellow tone and his faultless execution earned de- served praise. Miss Daniels made her debut as a concert singer this year, and fully justified the hopes entertained of her singing. She has a voice which possesses a peculiar charm, in that it unites to the range of a soprano, a rich contralto quality. The conductor, Professor Horace Miller, is no stranger either to the or- chestra or to the country toured. He has made of that peculiar mixture-a college orchestra-an organization really most admirable from every standpoint. Cornell owes more to him than she can well repay. B. V.

THoMPsoN -34' 'VONG after the lVIath and Greek had gone the way that such things do when 14 one has been out of college awhile, long after the family had ceased asking her to tell once more about the midnight marshmallow roast in Bowman parlor grate, or how the Freshmen acted when their rooms were stacked, long after the Cornellian had come to mean little of anything to her but a sad reminder of how strange it must be back there with so many unknown students filling the places they used to fill, and the news from society had ceased to be intelligible, because things had changed so much, long after the letters from the girls had begun to grow more infrequent and unsatisfactory, and the memories of college had begun to fade, because there was not time to keep them fresh, long after the cadences of the chimes in the old gray chapel had grown fainter and fainter, and the Hill, with the red glory of its autumn, the white stillness of its winter, and the green freshness of its springtime, had begun to seem but a shadowy memory in that far away land of youth, there yet remained one spot whose first impressions and significance, far from growing dim, seemed to brighten and intensify, as years went by. It was a spot to which her mind always turned whenever the problems of her difficult life grew great, or something especially heroic and fine seemed to be demanded from her. Each time she thought of it she wondered more and more gratefully how she could have escaped making havoc of things had it not been for the hours spent there. She could remember it vividly-the Dcan's fireplace-with its leaping flames lighting up the low book-shelves that stretched along the side of the shadowy room, and glowing rosily on the few rare prints and the quaint statuary that seemed not to have been put in their places, but somehow to have always be- longed there. She had used to wonder just what it was about this simply furn- ished room that breathed out harmony and quietness-just what it was that made it so good a place to be. In later years she knew the charm lay in the fact that the place took its tone from the one who for years had lived there. That wonderful woman! In a low chair before the embers, ready to listen understandingly to the troubles that had loomed so large sometimes, waiting to hear with a ready laugh the jolly tales of college fung attending with genuine interest to the news from home, of father's business and mother's cares, how she Cornell College could clear onels skies! Nothing had ever been too trivial for sympathetic at- tention, nothing had seemed to bore this busy-woman who took time from her Crowded days to listen leisurely and responsively to the homesick, the troubled, or the hilarious girl. That responsiveness and sympathy! How good they had been! How they had brought out the best in one! During those half-hours before the leaping grate, the frivolous, narrowminded, high school girl had grown into a well poised young woman with sensible ideas, and a sane outlook on life. There her scale of values had been transformed, and the best had been adopted as her standard. Yet the Dean had never preached. All the girls knew she hated cant, theor- izing, and conscience dissection, as heartily as she despised gush and subterfuges. It was just her being what she was that made one brace up. She had been straightforward and outright, without an ounce of affectation, intolerant of shams, appreciative of honest effort, wholesome and sane, sensible and loving, yet withal so jolly and merry and altogether charming that the girls all loved to be with her. She could reprimand, too, when there was occasion, and sharply, as offenders well knew. Verily, when executive forcefulness and competence to meet a situa- tion were required, there was no shadow of wavering in her firm mastery of conditions. And yet, although those who knew her as the Dean, gave her a respect and homage rarely inspired by any teacher, it was the girl who met her at her own fireside who most deeply enshrined her in her heart as an Ideal. With those clear eyes looking at one across the hearth, the petty, the false, and the ungenerous impulse tucked itself away out of sight in shame, and one longed to become what those eyes would approve. It might be that a cheery discussion of the weather, of exams, of society, of anything, was taking place- what the subject was did not matter so much. What helped was the kindly, cheery attitude taken toward everything. ,What counted, too, were the quiet silences where one gazed wide eyed into the embers, and saw there the blunders of yesterday burning away to ashes, and the possibilities of tomorrow leaping up in vivid flame that glowed and sparkled with reassuring promise. Or it was when one sat motionless before the crackling fire, learning how life had seemed to some favorite author, as he talked through the low, vibrant voice of the Dean, that one put off old notions of things and began to see living in its beautiful, practical reality. Ah, the fireplace-and the Dean beside it-and an empty chair waiting. How they had enabled one to keep a poise during four years of hard work and exciting play. How vastly they had determined one's attitude toward people and things in later years. The Dean's fireplace. Heaven bless it! Flalra nf the magnihe 311111 With apologies to Mr. Longfellow and lVIr.

A modest little hostelry As any in the land may beg Built all of wood, and painted green, As sad a shade as e'er was seen. But oh! what hospitality Shines forth within the shabby hall, Now somewhat fallen to decay, With weather-stains upon the wall, And stairways worn, and crazy doors, And creaking and uneven floors, With lunch room tiny and sale-room small. A place of revelry it seems And from it ofttimes shouts and screams Resound among the near-by hills.

While each one munched a celery stalk, And though from different ranks and class Cornell College Each had his tale to tell, and each Was anxious to be heard, and hear, And tell his tale in accents clear The other class-mates to impress With wonder at his excellence. A Senior there of surly mien, A student spectacled, and lean, To whom all facts and tongues were known. Indeed, he seldom used his own! Books were his passion and delight, And in his upper room at home Stood many a great and bulky tome In vellum bound, and pens galore, With note-books from the Goodyear A jolly Junior, too, was there, With wondrous crest upon her head Of puffs, and braids, and curly hair. Her face was sweet as summer night, Her hands were small, her teeth gleamed As sea-shells, when she laughed or spoke. Her nose was up-turned like a joke, A twinkle always in her eye Quite fetched the Senior who sat by. A domineering Sophomore Sat boasting of his famous deeds And showed his wealth of collegelore Well mindful of past Freshman feeds, Seeking, by hook, or crook, or threat, New information from his mate-e The Freshman fair, who sat wide-eyed But all aglow with college pride, Resolving not to tell a mite About the coming banduet night.

To his anguish gave no heeding. Down upon the ground they forced him, Filled his clothes to overflowing With the damp and prickly verdure- With the cold and frosty leafage!

Professor Reed awoke from a deep dream of peace, and forthwith became more peaceful as he turned again to his pillow with the happy thought that times had changed. There was no more early rising and attempting to build kitchen fires with damp wood. The caterer around the corner, as many caterers around corners now did, sent breakfast, luncheon and dinner over in neat little soapstone carts covered and heated. Witliin cosily reposed your daily sustenance. An hour or so later the Professor was standing before the mirror, tying his Sabbath cravat, and whistling his Sabbath tune, when his wife appeared at the door. Her face wore the old expression of The cook hasnlt come,', before which in former days he used to shrink visibly. But he reflected as this memory flashed through his brain, that such a tragedy was impossible now, inasmuch as they ate from the soapstone receptacles from the caterer around the corner. John, his wife-gasped, look at this! She handed him a little green paper, which she had found slipped under the kitchen door. It read as follows: This is to notify the patrons of the Communistic Breakfast, 'Luncheon and Dinner Caterer that the cooks and delivery boys of said establishment last night, at twelve o'clock, May Sth, 1909, declared a strike. Until matters are arranged, said caterer will be unable to supply the usual meals to his patrons. Th-e Professor looked at his wife, and his wife looked at him. Is there anything to eat in the house ?l' he faltered at last. VVhy, no, of course there isn't,', his wife replied. You know, according to the contract we have to send back everything we don't eat, and so there isn't a thing. Professor Reed looked out at the sodden spring world, and longed with all his heart for the food so unattainable. A distant clock struck nine. Well,'l he finally sighed, we'll have to go down to a restaurant. That's all there is to itf' In the meantime his wife's face had been showing more and more signs of irritation. She looked at the Professor, started to say something, but closed her lips firmly and went out, closing the door behind her with decision. Professor Reed retired to the closet and rummaged for his rubbers. In a few moments he was interrupted by his wife's voice from the door. John, she said in the tone a woman uses when she is going to say more than usual, I have put on my old winter suit and am about as ready as I can be without growing gills to go out in this disgraceful weather. But before we do The Royal Purple, Vol. X, go, I just want to say that this would never have happened if you had followed my advice. You know I insisted it would be best to keep the kitchen stove in and have a small supply of things in the pantry in case of an emergency. But you wouldn't hear to it. You protested that it would appear as if you didn't have faith in the new system, and all that. So I had to give in, but I have al- ways known that these new-fangled schemes would get us into difficulty some- time. Professor Reed bowed his head to the unaccustomed storm and silently pulled on his rubbers. A' How much money have you?,' his wife suddenly inquired. After some searching, three dollars and a half were produced, and the two started out in pursuit of their breakfast. A car took them down into the restaurant district of the city. Getting off at the corner of X and Y streets, they made their way through puddles to a nearby restaurant, only to have the following CZ11'd stare them in the face: Closed, Restaurant cooks out on sympathetic strike with caterer cooks. Do you think, John, his wife asked plaintively and hungrily, that they will all be this way? In spite of the masculine irritation which was rapidly growing as his faint- ness grew, the Professor endeavored to cheer his weaker half. Oh, no,l' he rejoined with a wan jocularity, we'll probably find one open down in the next block. But block after block offered no open restaurant. The rain had developed into a gentle spring downpour so pleasant to watch from porches, but so wet when one is in it. The Professors wife had reached the point- of headachy tearfulness, and Professor Reed no longer took care to hold the umbrella at the right angle. But suddenly he stopped. I've a bright idea, he said. Let's go to that drug store yonder and get some hot chocolate and crackers, and then we'll feel better. They ploddrd to the drug store, only to be told by the clerk that they never sold hot drinks after Rdarch. Well-er--I' Professor Reed stammered, couldn't you give my wife a cracker or something? She has a headache, and perhaps a little something like that would help her. ' I am sorry, sir, we haven't any crackers, but I can fix up a bromo-selzer for your wife right away. That's what she ought to.have, and the obliging clerk darted away. Wlien he returned, Professor and Mrs. Reed had gone. There is but one place left, the Professor said, as he pulled his wife Cornefl College around the corner out of sight of the drug store, and that's the station restau- rantf' They took a ear and soon arrived at their goal. As they walked through the waiting-room they could get fragrant whiffs of coffee and beef-steaks. As they sniffed this perfume their feeble steps were strengthened and they entered the restaurant with some degree of jauntiness. Here the tables were crowded with the patrons of the Communisitc Caterers. Professor Reed and his wife were kept busy bowing to acquaintances as they made their way down the room. Once seated, Professor Reed beckoned to a waiter. Bring us a good porterhouse steak- A sudden pressure of his wife's foot made him look up in bewilderment. Hey? Ah--oh, yes. I guess we'll just takea medium tenderloinf' His wife's lips had silently reminded him of his three dollars and a half. As they were going, some time later, each with a package of sandwiches, the Professor slyly and sheepishly slipped the waiter a coin. VVhy, John l his wife exclaimed as soon as they had gotten out. I thought you never tipped l I don't, usually, he retorted with some vehemence, but, Carrie, when a man has saved you from starvation, you feel an uncontrollable burst of human gratitude that must have some expression. lVIrs. Reed smiled, and her husband, catching sight of the smile, blushed and changed the subject. ' On lVIonday morning Professor Reed rose very early. His wife inquired his reasons, but he became .shy and evasive. I don't feel very well this morning, Carrie. The truth is, I'm going out for a little stroll. I'll meet you down at the station for breakfast. His wife gave a reluctant consent, and Professor Reed went out. A few moments later he stepped off a car, and, after looking up and down the street to be sure there were no chance acquaintances in sight, he entered a large hardware store, and came face to face with his friend, the Hon. Simon Griffiths, president of the Community Club for the Advancement of Communistic Lifefi Both men unconsciously stepped back, then grinned sheepishly and shook hands. Well, Professor, Griffiths asked, 'fwhat worm is it you are after so early? Professor Reed shook his head. You tell what you are after first, Griff- iths! Both men laughed, and then Professor Reed admitted: You know, Griffiths, I never bought a stove in my life. What kind did you get ? Well, Professor, Griffiths confided, I was just in your fix, but Dr. Doo- little, the pastor of the Churchfor Communistic Worship in our part of town, is back yonder buying one, and he'll help you. He seems to know all about it. Later as Professor Reed was returningihome from a tedious day in the class- The Royal Purple, V ol. X, room, he saw a steady curl of smoke rising from the kitchen chimney. His heart warmed toward that hospitable symbol. A great feeling of peace pervaded his soul. He was sure of his dinner, and that assurance threw a renewed glamour over his home. Finally, carving the roast, and hearing the cheerful chatter in the back room, Professor Reed questioned with a subdued twinkle in his eye: What is Home Without a Kitchen ? iliiue 1Hlunkz fur an Zlllnnh O. K. FRINK dll' 66 TUB, come here! The words came breathlessly through a half-open door. Quickl Stub awoke with a jump and the volume of Spalding's Roads and Pave- mentsi' fell from his hands to the floor with a bang. He looked about him, half conscious of footsteps retreating down the hall, and wondered if anybody had called, and then, finally deciding that it could not have been a dream, he yawned, rubbed his eyes, and rose to find the disturbing element. The half-open door was suggestive, so he marched up the long, dark hall and came finally to a room where light shone under the door. It was the bath-room, and sounds of pouring water came from within, ac- companied with short whistling sounds like breaths. Stub listened a moment and decided to investigate. Perhaps some of the pipes were broken, or his room- mate, Phil, was walking in his sleep. lVIaybe someone was drowning. Phil, is that you ? he called Is that you in there?', A groan was the answer, and still the pouring and the breathing kept up, first a click, then a gasp and then a swish of water. Philip, is that you? If it is, why don't you answer, and what on earth are you doing? And Stub pounded smartly on the door. It swung in at his first rap and then-- He knew not how nor why, but he found a Wash bowl in his H hands and he was dipping water, swish, swash, from tub to lavatory, three steps, and back to tub again, while Philip sank back on the Hoor and fought for breath. I left to call you, he finally gaspedfl and when I came back it was nearly to the top. Oh, what if it should run over? Keep dipping, Stub! Oh, Lord l and he stretched himself out full length upon the fioor. V Stub did keep on dipping, but no matter how swiftly he worked the water came in just as fast and even faster, so it seemed to him. The path between the tub and the lavatory began to get sloppy and the wash-bowl grew from ounces to pounds as Stub labored, and still the water came. How did you get in this mess? he asked as he scooped out a bowlful of water. Seems to have sprung a leak somewheref' Phil sat up and shuddered. Lordl I dipped that stuff up for half an hour straight, and then I went after you. When I came hack it was way up near the top. If we let it run over it'll Hood the house,', and he sank back again and spread his long hands out again over his face. Phil was much better looking when .he covered his face with his hands. Even so, he was not handsome now. Dismay would have been an appropriate The Royal Purple, Vol. X, label for his picture as he lay there, his blue and yellow bath-robe wet and drag- gled and the toes on his long bare feet turned upward toward the ceiling. VVhen I got through with my bathf' he finally continued, the water wouldn't go out of the tub, so l had to pour it off through the lavatory basin. Then the tub sprang a leak and since then it's been running in faster than I could dip it out. If it runs over Mrs. Beckley'll-I don't know what. Well, what are you going to do about it ? Stub set the wash-bowl on the floor and folded his arms. - For Heaven's sake keep dipping, Stub. If that water runs over we're lost. And Phil sprang to his feet and seized the bowl. Well, you can dip all you please, Stub replied, but as for me, live had plenty. Suppose I can hunt up a plumber for you, though. Phil looked up in disgust. Plumber nothing! lt's nearly midnight, and you 'eouldn't rout out a plumber for love nor money. No use talking, we've got to stay here and dip- till we die or the water's all gone. You speak that 'we' as if you really meant it, Stub answered. l've had my share of dipping, and if you care to die on the job, why, just keep it up. l'm going after a plumber. And he banged the door after him and hurried down the hall and out of the house. Stub all but batte1'ed in the doors of three different houses before he got an answer. At the third place, however, he managed to make himself heard and brought an old gray-bearded man to the door, who held a lamp and blinked out in the darkness at him. The man was a late resident of the town and knew nothing of plumbers nor oftheir houses, but he took particular pains to add that he supposed they might be found at the hardware stores. Stub Nlurray did not swear. He thanked the man for his information and hurried to another house. A light was burning in this one and he had little trouble in arousing the occupant. He asked the small, business-like man where he might find a plumber and the directions were quite civilly given, but gentle advice was added that next time he should telephone and not disturb people in the dead of night. A phone-he had never thought of that. Surely next time he would-and then he shuddered. Never, no, never, should there be a next time, and with this consolation he hurried on in his midnight raid to the plumber's quarters. He had a fleeting vision of how Phil must look dipping water, and he wondered if he might be gaining any on the inflow. At last he picked out the house. He beat loudly upon the door and kicked it twice, but no one answered. Another kick, and then a noise within was heard. A key grated in the lock and the door flew open. He stood facing the plumber. Cornell College What the- he began, but Stub was before him. Quick, sir! Get your kit and come with me. A water pipe is broken in the Beckley house and my room-mate has to dip water with a wash-bowl to keep from being drowned. ' The god of traps and pipes did not speak. He began to close the door, but the boy's foot was in the way. Stub knew an argument that could not be refuted, and he fumbled in his pockets. A half dollar, a quarter and a nickel was all he had, but he gave it to the man and went in. lt took some time for the plumber to dress and get his kit, and he kept say- ing words all the time. At last he was ready, however, and they started off to- gethe1'. . Stub fully expected to see the house with three feet of water in it but every- thing was quiet, and the stairs which he had pictured a raging torrent were quite dry. The light still shone from under the bath room door and they threw it open. Horrible! Phil was still dipping water. His mouth was wide open and his eyes were shut, and yet he worked. He was a machine. There were four foot-marks on the floor and he tramped them as a tiger tramps the bare spots on the sawdust-covered bottom of his cage. Stub woke him from his trance with a clap on the shoulder and then the plumber spoke. Have you fellers been dippinl that water all night ? he asked. He stepped over to the tub and rolling up his sleeve, reached down and put in the plug and the water ceased to come. VVhy didn't you do that three hours ago and go to bed? he drawled out slow and soft. You've dipped the same water over and over again tive hundred times. The drain is clogged below the T and when you poured the water into the lavatory basin it run right back into the tub. You can see for yourself how dirty the water is from pouring it so much. He unscrewed a plate from the floor and reached his bare arm down the hole. VVhatever he did, it took only a moment, but when he again pulled the plug from the tub there was a gurgling sound and the water sank away. He turned to the boys and then looked at his watch. E For tub-jobs, he said, I always get two-fifty, but it's half past one and this is Sunday morning. The Union says, 'A time and a half for overtime and two times for Sundayf lyfy bill is live dollars and you're the man that hired me. He indicated Stub by a jerk of his thumb, but that young man did not speak-he was not in a talking humor. He drew a carefully-folded check from his pocket, looked long at the boldly written -Five- on its face and then traced his name upon the back. He chucked it at the plumber, who stood waiting, and he left them without a. word. ' Stub looked at Phil and at the tub and then he swore: Oh-vanilla! Zilhv Glnmmittre nf Gbmz Eunhrrh B. V. CRAw1foRD JP F' T was two o'clock on Coney Island, and the sizzling heat of a midsummer J sun had driven the manager of Dreamland and myself to take shelter in his oflice close by the park gate, where electric fans stirred the sultry air, and a box of fragrant Havanas and a soda siphon made life more endurable. 'I'hrough the walls there came that strange hurly-burly of sounds scarcely to be equaled in volume and certainly not in variety anywhere else in the world. Above the clank and roar of elevated trains and the grinding hum of hundreds of merry-go-rounds and panoramas rose the strident noise of calliopes, the shrill voices of barkers, and the shriek and crash of the orchestra in the Park beside us. Through the window I could see across the street camels standing, their eyes shut, and on their faces an infinite look of boredom. On the back of each, a dark-eyed Houri of sus- piciously fair complexion helped to advertise a neighboring Streets of Cairof, It was a typical Island scene and a typical Island day, though, as the man- ager expressed it, pretty dull compared to what it would be Sunday. Yes, I suppose so, I replied. He nodded lazily. My friend, the manager, was not one to hurry words on a hot afternoon. From his standpoint every rapid action of any sort meant exertion, and exertion meant more heat. Under the circumstances I couldnlt blame him. Removing his cigar to facilitate speech he at length replied: You see, all these clerks and workmen and everybody have time to burn Sunday, and it's so like the Hereafter in those narrow paved streets these hot days that they all come out here where it's cool.', Yes, I philosophized aloud, it is a wonderful thing, this craving of human beings for amusement. just to think that there are tens of thousands of people whose sole business it is to make their fellow creatures laugh. Milliorms of dol- lars every year for a little fun. But there's one thing down here that surprises me, and that is that so many people seem always to go to Dreamland Park and i never to Rhineland or Paradise or Wate1'sicle or any of a dozen other places. How do you keep your name before the public ?', Just like any other show-by employing a regular salaried publicity agent. Don't you know Tanner? I-Iels been our agent for over eight years. Is he that mild-mannered little fellow that I've seen down here sometimes? I thought I heard someone say that he was a correspondent for the 'Tribune' Well, he works them together. It's the best kind of a combination. You must know your man pretty well, though. Not everybody could handle two things like that. Who is he, anyhow? College graduate 7' Don't you fool yourself! No college ever taught him what he knows. Sn Cornell College He's just a New York boy, raised right in the street, and what he don't know about this old burg ain't worth knowing. He had only been on the 'Tribune' a year when I first hired him, but he made good on the spot. That kind of a job takes a lot of cheek, I volunteered. Did you ever know Tom White of 'The lVIail'? He' was a fellow with nerve. Yes, but no man ever pulled off a nervier stunt than Eddie Tanner did for us three or four seasons ago, when he cleaned up thirteen thousand in a single night off of Prince Henry. If that story had ever gotten out, Eddie's days of success would have been over. I don't see why you call that a bluff. I knew several fellows who were out here, and Mike Hartman told me he shook hands with the Prince himself. Yes, but it was a bluff though, and Eddie was the man who got away with itf' the manager replied, slapping his knee at the recollection. Wow, but that was a scoop! Eddie got so full before the next morning that the guards at the shows had to keep busy leading the cops around so they wouldn't see him. You see, held pulled the bluff all alone, and the nervous strain was too much for him. I suppose I might as well tell the whole thingg you'd worm it out of me anyhow, I suppose, now that Ilve got you started. The manager settled back more comfortably as I relit 1ny cigar and pre- pared to listen. This worming the story out of him was all a hoax. lVIy friend would never have rested comfortably until the story was off his mind now that I had recalled it. But my pleasure was none the less unfeigned, for no one ever has quite as interesting experiences as Jim Harbert, and few- can tell them better. It was the summer of IQO5, just three years ago, and Eddie was working the same old combination of news and publicity. There never was a better news- paper man in New York than Eddie. In dull times he can manufacture a story out of the driest item of news, and make the whole town wild over it. I heard one time about his getting all the big doctors so fussed over a new bug-bite they had discovered at the County Hospital that they had to employ a special clerk over there to take care of the correspondence. Well,'as I say, Eddie was getting his 3150 a month off us-too much? Don't you ever think it! Every once in a while he could give us a boost by some item of news that paid his salary of a hundred and fifty a month twice over in a single day. Then, too, he could sug- gest ideas, and after trying some of them and making a hit every time, I had come to do just about what he wanted. But when he came up to the oHice one day that summer with a proposition that I entertain 'Prince Henry down here at a big Reception, I refused and told him that the heat must be affecting his brain. But you know nothing ever piffed Eddie. He just camped right there, and presented his scheme in such a juicy .aspect that I had consented before I knew it. Of course he offered to take the whole responsibility Che's always .,-..., 4- a 4 The Royal Purple, Vol. X, good about thatj and only hung out for a share of the gate-receipts. Well, I felt like a fool, but I told him to go ahead. It was a week or ten days before I heard anything more about it. Then one Saturday afternoon Eddie blew in, and calmly told me, from the midst of a half-contracted jag, that he had been over to see the German consul the day before. - 'What does he have to do with it ?' I inquired. 'He manages the Prince's itinerary in this country, and I knew I'd have to get him to help before I could do anything' . 'You'll need more than him before you get this kid stunt off your hands. I wish 1'd never told you to go ahead. Remember, if you get bumped, you lose your joltf Sure. But we won't. Keep your nerve, old man. The consul's fixed U. K. and your crowd'll all be here, don't worryf A J A day or so afterwards, Monday, I guess, I happened to look at my 'rllribune' and saw a whole column about the deal. 'One hundred leading Ger- man citizens were going 'to entertain the Prince at a Grand Ball at Dreamland Park. Arrangements were going forwardf Arrangements! l hadn't done a damned thing and didn't know any more about it than you! There was Ridder, the shoe man, chairman, and Freund, the lawyer, secretary-two of the busiest men in New York, and a whole bunch of other fellows that I'd never heard of before. And the deal was coming off Wednesday! I got scared and wrote to Eddie and told him to come around or l'd have him arrested. On another page I saw announcement that the committee on arrangements would meet at the Park Tuesday evening for final preparations. From what it said, I supposed they'd been meeting every night for a week. Tuesday came and no Eddie. I got wild. Here was the committee coming and me with not a thing to tell them. About seven, when I was just on the point of telephoning to the 'Tribune' office, Eddie walked in as calm as you please, sat down, and asked for some brandy and soda. 'Where's the committee? I gasped. 'Don't worry, it's all a bluffg nobody's comingf Just then somebody knocked and when I went to the door there was Rid- der. I nearly fell over and Eddie himself looked kind of stunned, but he came back like the smooth one he is, and, grabbing Ridder by the hand like a Board of Trade friend says: 'Walk in and sit down. How are you, sir?' 'Quite well, thank you,' Ridder replied, pleasantly enough. 'I just dropped in for the committee meeting. I happened to read the notice in the Sun and thought maybe I'd better see how things were coming.' 'That's too bad, because the committee dispersed just before you came in. Cornell College Things were pretty well in hand so it didn't take them long. Perhaps you would like to know some of the preparations underfoot. It is planned to have the hall in the great park ball-room. All of the shows will be free, but there will be a general admission fee of seventy-five cents. If possible, there will be an opportunity given for a large number of leading citizens to shake hands with the Prince. Adequate police protection has been promised by the Department. Do you think of anything else ?' U 'No. That seems very proper, I am sure. I am glad the arrangements are in such good hands. I merely called in to see if I could be of any use. Good evening.' And the visitor was gone. 'Damn it, that was a close calll' I said when Ridder had gone. 'I give you the prize when it comes to downright, consecutive, straight-out lying. If you don't get yours some day you will be lucky.' ' Eddie grinned the way he always does when you talk to him about his faults, and said: 'Keep your nerve, old man, Iill make your fortune yet.' Well, sir, it did take nerve, and a lot of it, too, not to get cold feet when the big night arrived. Every daily I saw had had whole columns about the show, announcements about special trains on the 'Ls,' extra surface cars and all sorts of junk until I knew we'd have the biggest mob that ever came to 'Dream- land.' The later it got, the worse I was scared. ,l' kept wondering whether theyld take me to the insane asylum or Sing Sing, and when at about seven o'clock three hundred policemen turned up, I thought thcy'd sure come for me. But they were ordered, they said, to put themselves under the orders of Tanner. Think of it! Tanner, who had dodged more policemen than I ever saw, boss of the whole bunch! Well, sir, that finished me. I just calmly sat down and said, 'Well, if that fool Tanner is going to run this, let him run it., Wl1en the crowd commenced coming at about seven-fifteen fthe deal began at eightj I knew enough to stick them for the seventy-five, Eddie told me that, but by Jove, the way that crowd did ooze in! VVhy, man, by seven forty-five you couldn't see for the crowd. And then at about ten minutes to eight, I heard a big yell and looked out of the oiiice window. There was the Prince in a big auto, all covered with gold lace and looking happy as an iceman, and beside him- Eddie Tanner in full dress and as much at home as President Roosevelt himself. The Consul was on the seat ahead, but Eddie had the best there was, you bet. Well, I hustled out and treated the Prince to all the bow I knew, and was intro- duced with great dignity by Eddie, who was so proper I hardly dared To speak to him. And then we went to the Ball Room platform with thirty policimen breaking a way and the Prince walking with his arms in Eddie's and mined, The manager stopped to take a drink of seltzer, seeming still somewhat The Royal Purple, V ol. X, gratified at the memory of that brief day of greatness, for he lapsed into silence and looked out of the window contemplatively. Recalled by my eager question as to how the affair went off, he continued: Find Of course we couldn't have any ball as previously announced. VVe couldn't. That Ball Room was so full that you could hardly move a foot. But nobody seemed sore. They could see that the management had done its part in providing the Prince and the band, which was blatting away over at the right in a raised enclosure, and if the room was too full to dance in, they couldn't blame us. Everybody made the best they could of it, and stamped his feet in time with the music, on the Hoor or somebody else's toes, whichever happened to be handiest. l got to watching two German beer-mugs with silk hats on who weren't far from the platform and who were trying their best to get nearer to shake hands with the Prince. One would start to push one way and the other one would follow and then vice versa. Everybody they pushed got hot and sassed them and they were in a fight most of the time. A policeman was only about ten feet away but was wedged in so tight that he eouldn't even hit them with his club. He'd talk at them, and they'd try to explain, and he'd think they were swearing. This made him hotter and hotter, but at the same time he couldn't do a thing. I got to laughing and forgot where I was, but when Ridder tapped me on the shoulder and asked me where the rest of the Committee were, I woke up sudden. I told him I'd have to ask Tanner, and you may just bet I didn't feel extra. If we couldn't trot out the rest of the committee where would we be with Ridder? Well, Eddie marches up with one of the smoothest lines of talk 'I ever heard. 'You see, it's this way, Mr. Ridder. There is such an awful jam here, that while ouri police protection is excellent, we were afraid of a panic and thought it would be better to scatter the committee around through the crowd so as to help keep order.' 'That was very wise, I am sure. I hadn't thought of that.' The chairman immediately passed this information to the Prince, who seemed to think it listened mighty well. Anyhow he grinned and looked at the crowd and said something to the Consul in a good-natured voice. After a while we formed a Cordon of police and made a circuit of the Park, visiting all the concessions. The Prince seemed to enjoy every performance that was visited and when he came out of the great 'Hereafter' pronounced it one of the finest illusions he ever witnessed. He was a true sport, too, and showed the boys something about target-shooting when they took him into the shooting-gallery. Then the Consul somehow got a hunch that it was time to go. He looked at his watch and everybody swore it must be wrong until they looked at their own. It was a quarter to twelve. The bunch pulled out im- mediately and the crowd followed as fast as the exits would take them. The I' Cornell College Prince said held had a great time, and the Consul said 'we deserved praise for our patriotic energy'-those were his words. I can see Eddie yet, the way he bowed to the bunch as the auto pulled away. He looked like a courtierf, You must have felt relieved when it was all over, I said sympathetically. Well, maybe you ain't right! my friend replied. But there was all the money to be counted. It took five of us an hour, and when we got done we found we had admitted over seventy thousand people. Deducting every possible expense, Eddie's share alone gave him over 513,000 I just gasped. Eddie smiled at me with a ti1'ed sort of smile, and said, 'Well, what do you think of Publicity Tanner by now?' 'I ain't thinking any more. I've quit. If any man had told me I'd have been where I was to-night, Ild have sworn he was a damned lunatic and liar. 'How in the name of blazes did you ever get all that junk in the papers, anyway? 'Traded stories. I-low'd you suppose ?' 'But Ridder-hels one of the busiest men in New York, and Freund? I say you must have mesmerized them.' . 'Nope. Just told Ridder I wanted him for his name and infiuence and he needn't come to the meetings, that I'd get somebody else to do the work and he could get the honor. Of course anybody'd jump at the chance of meeting the Prince that way. Then I pulled Freund with the same line of talk.' H 'Sounds simple, I declare. But what devilish nerve you must have. You surely didn't see every one of those one hund1'ed fellows on the committee, did you? 'Committeel Pime! There wasnlt anybody on it. Those names are German tent-men you've had in your employ for a year, more or less.' Tent men! I gasped, staring at the manager in amazement. What a thundering blufferlu ' E You're right, my friend replied, shaking his head at the wonder of it all. That fellow had gone to the Consul with that list of one hundred leading Ger- man citizens, pulled the whole deal through on their reps, and there wasn't a damned man on it but Ridder and Freund who ever heard of the Prince until that night. I told Eddie and I say yet, that the man who can lie as continuously and as elegantly as that is a genius and Iim not afraid to back him against any Standard Oil attorney in the country. 51112 maarni Zum M. W1i,cox dal' 4' AH, rah, rah! jg R11 l h' 2 1, rai, ra . Rah, rah, rah! .limmylu yelled the crowd of enthusiastic rooters as Captain Smythe swung a slender lad of nine years up on his broad shoulders and held him therewith one hand while he led the yell with the other. Jimmy's face flushed and his eyes grew large with excitement and pride. It was fine to be the mascot of the College football team and to have the big captain holding him high while the students cheered. After a thunderous nine rahs for the team, that made the chapel windows shake, the first mass meeting of the season broke up and the students left, dis- cussing the grand prospect their team had for the championship. Jimmy slipped out the nearest Way and stopped to watch a pile of small urchins untangle them- selves while the contested football rolled serenely down the slope behind them. Was they yelling for you, Jimmy?', Charley Grey asked as he caught sight of the boy standing near. Yep. I What for? he continued, walking nearer and brushing the dead leaves from his heavy stockings. I'm 'lected mascot, Jimmy answered, trying hard not to show how proud he was of that fact. What's that?', piped up Billy Brown, a small boy of five years. Jimmy gave him a look that was full of pity, and answered severely, Why, a nizfscot is to bring luck to the team. They can't any more win a game 'ithout a mascot than without a captain. Billy was duly impressed, but the older boys looked at each other with winks and sly grins. Jimmy hurried away home in order to tell his mother and father all about this big honor that had come to him. He felt that it took older judgment to really understand the dignity and power of his position. That night his dreams were a confusion of flying footballs, purple and white pennants and the smiling faces of his team. The men were out for work every day, and Jimmie never missed a practice. He felt it his duty to be on the side lines every minute that his team was on the field, for if he was to bring luck surely he must be a great help even in practice! His opinion of his own importance grew daily. It was not an egotistical feeling, nf Cornell College but a spirit of humbleness coupled with the desire to neglect no matter that would make him more useful. He avoided black cats and spiders and hunted for white horses and for new sidewalks to spit on and wish. Jimmy felt that the outcome of the first game would prove his power. He arrived at the gym early in the afternoon dressed in his purple and white suit and carrying a pennant quite as big as himself. The men were getting ready for the game and listening to the last directions of the coach. At three o'clock Jimmy started across Ash Park at the head of the Varsity. He could hear the crowd yelling and singing and his heart pounded hard. As he led the team on to the gridiron hundreds of voices burst with one accord into: 5 Varsity l Varsity l VVho-rah, rah, rahl Cornell! Jimmy longed to glance at his envious schoolmates, who he knew were hanging over the fence, but he felt that such an 2lCt would be unworthy of a mascot, so he looked straight ahead. He carried the football tightly under his arm as though he were trying to infuse into it all the magic, and luck he had been accumulating for so many days. He gave it an affectionate pat as he handed it to the captain and took his place on the side lines. The game was on, and Jimmy watched every play with keen, anxious eyes. His head whirled and his heart beat in time with the wild ''Rah-rah-rahs that sounded continually all about him. His team was winning, winning easilyg and when the game was over and the crowd counted the score by fives the boy thought that he could never wish for greater happiness. The days went by until the season was nearly over and Jimmy's team had not lost a game. There was only one game left: the grcat game with Coe at Cedar Rapids for the championship of the state. The night,before the game the little mascot listened anxiously as the coach talked to the team. He wondered why the men listened so quietly and seemed so worried. Hadn't he always brought them luck? Could they be doubting his power? He felt angry that the coach should talk so much about losing their heads and being over-confident. That night the lad lay awake for a long time. The faces of the captain and the coach seemed to reproach him. He was haunted by the thought of the lady-bug he had killed that day, and tried in vain to reassure himself with hav- ing seen the moon over his right shoulder. When he did go to sleep he shivered in his dreams at the sound of the unlucky hoo-hool' of an owl near his window. The next morning jimmy carried a note to his teacher asking her to excuse him at recess in order that he might take the special to Cedar Rapids. She laid the note on her desk without opening it and began the morning's work. Jimmy couldn't study. He fixed his eyes on the page with great determination, but they saw only visions of his idol, the captain, niaking a long run for a touchdown. Y' Y M The Royal Purple, Vol. X, Then he wondered whether Copper's ankle was well and how Krans's nose was. Of course he failed in his reading lesson, and he picked up his spelling book aim- lessly. Up at the gym the band was playing Hot Time out of tune, but to Jimmy's imagination it was magic music. He wrote his spelling lesson dreamily. Hut there was an awakening, sudden and terrible. It came when his teacher said: James you must stay in at recess and study your spelling lesson. He raised his hand quickly, but the teacher had turned to her bell and was tapping it for the pupils to turn, rise and pass from the room. li leave you on your honor, james, she said as she turned and followed the children. - Jimmy sat very still as though he had been stunned. Then he heard the band playing 'Varsity as it led the crowd toward the station, and he jumped from his seat with an inarticulate cry and started toward the door. Then he paused. He had been left on his honor! And he couldn't go. Oh, why hadn't Miss Leslie seen him raise his hand? The special would just have to go without him. Now he knew how Jack Wilson had felt when he Hunked his Latin and lost his place on the team. Then he thought how much the team needed him, they all said they couldn't play to win without him. As he heard the train whistle and caught the faint refrain, And the way we'll beat Coe College will be fine, a big tear rolled out of his full eyes and down his freckled nose be felt it and brushed it away angrily. The train pulled out, whistled lonesomely be- yond the viaduct and Jimmy heard it no longer. In a dazed manner he went back to his seat and picked up the calico-covered spelling hook. He scarcely noticed the return of the teacher and pupils and after the hated words had been corrected he thought only of how he might be able to get to his team. After a dreary age the dismissal bell rang. Jimmy hurried home, caught up his suit and pennant and ran for the station. He could scarcely see the agent through the ticket window as he stood on tip-toes and called out, When can I get to Cedar Rapids ? No train before four, the agent answered kindly. Jimmy sat down on the penny scales and his head dropped dejectedly on his purple bundle. What's the trouble! Anything important? the agent inquired. Oh yes sir. It's very important. You see I missed the football special, and I'm the mascot, and they can't play without me and its the championship game and --the thin voice choped over a big lump in Jimmy's throat which rose as the verbal rental of his woes brought the awfulness of the situation more vividly before him. Well, well, don't get discouraged. I ain't so sure that they couldn't play I. l 5 I V 5- - .,::--,A-.....,,....,......,.......g Cornell College without you, but maybe I can get you there. Let's see, there's a hand-car going to Bertram at 12:20 that you might ride on that far. Oh I could walk the rest of the way. The muscles in my legs are good an' tough, I tell you. I,'ll just get into my suit and Walk on a ways for fear they don't come. You can tell 'em to stop when they see mef, In another minute the little figure started down the track. He explained that he didn't dare risk being late and the agent unwillingly let him go. The road was stony and the sun shone bright and hot on the glaring road. Jimmy was hungry and his feet began to drag. He sat down on the bank to rest, and his head was nodding when he heard the hand-car coming and jumped up' to hail it. For the rest of the ride he reproached himself for hisweakness in so nearly going to sleep and told himself he was unworthy of his position. Out of Bertram he caught a ride in a grain wagon that was going a little bit beyant Otis. Jimmy kept awake by telling the stolid driver about Copper who kicked so high that the whole team could run down and wait for the ball to drop. His voice grew stronger as he told of the luck he had always brought his team, and he wondered why the fellow looked at him and then shook in such a queer way. Wliere the road crossed the railroad track the farmer stopped his horses. ' Itls half past two, git along with yer luck g he said as he swung Jimmy down, and his body shook silently as the boy thanked him and assured him of the lasting gratitude of his team. The ride had been restful and the boy started out bravely for his two mile walk. He wondered if the team could ever forgive him if he failed to get there. He could hardly raise his feet from the ground, and he was afraid to rest for fear he would go to sleep. He was just one big hollow ache inside, but he put away the thought of food as unmanly at such a time. Wlrcn the t1'ack grew dim before him -he clenched his fists and muttered, I got to get there, they need me to win, and staggered on. At last he could see houses and tall smoke-stacks. Then suddenly he stopped to listen. Was it yelling he heard or just the blood pounding in his ears? It was yelling! The boy startedlon a trot which increased as the sound grew louder. The field bordered the right-of-way and Jimmy rolled down the bank and under the fence. The yelling was not for his team. Coel Coe! Coe! it was a noisy roar. His head whirled at the thought that he might be too late. When he reached the side line he saw the men resting and the coach pumping wind into his captain. He ran onto the field and seized the football, calling at the same time, 'Tm here Captain, I've brought your luck. At the sound of the shrill, cheery voice the crowd on both sides burst into a ' . W J.--. The Royal Purple, Vol. X, wild cheer for jimmy. The football men could see how tired and weak the lad was. There's grit, just what you need, the coach said to the team as he took the ball from the mascot and gave it to the center. ' Jimmy's eyes never left the ball and his thin voice kept repeating the .ld commands, Keep your heads! Don't lose your pepf' His team was fighting. Their pride was gone and a new determination had taken its place. The mascot took a deep breath as he saw his team swing into position for the big fake play that had always worked. You can do it, Captain, he cried, as Smythe carried the ball around the end and was off down the field. A quick turn to avoid a fierce tackle, a dash past the last pursuing figure in red, a twenty yard run and a touch-down. Jimmy hardly saw the ball sail over between the goal posts, for he knew it must go. It had happened just in time. As the whistle blew he sank in a dusty heap, murmuring 6-5-my team. In another minute the Captain had picked him up and the weary mascot nestled his head contentedly against the padded shoulder. But he opened his eyes and smiled when the coach took his hand and said, You showed the boys what grit could do, Jimmy-you won the championship. ZOLA W1Lcox. A Stranger at the Gllnh H. C. IJIELAMATRE -24 jrl' was one of those clammy sodden nights with a deep veil of fog through which passing car wheels shriek and elevated trains crash-when electric are lights are blurs of yellow indistinctness. On evenings such as this the Hellenic Club is crowded with its members and as the evening wears on the men cease their restless walking or desultory conversations and wander in to the smoking room for a last ciga1' or cigarette before retiring. The scene was one that might be found in any gathe1'ing. Here was a short, brief speaking, business man with clipped moustache, here was the typical man of the world with suave manners and the Van-Dyke beard, and here a doctor who with keen eyes beneath nervous, bushy brows watched with but half concealed amusement, and penetrated the unconscious foibles of his friends. To- night the doctoris attention was drawn to the most interesting man of them all - Young Everlyf' ' , The object of his scrutinizing attention was six feet in height and athletic- ly built. His personality seemed to bristle from the features of his face. His eyes gray, piercing and distrustful, yet met others squarelyg his cheek bones were high and combined with a hooked nose and slightly outspread ears to give him very much the appearance of a bird of prey. In business circles it was known that he had gone in pretty deep with the old man and rumor on the street said that when it came to manipulating railroad stocks the old man didn't have it over the son very much. The employees dreaded to be called to the carpet even more than in the old days, when his father did the disciplining. ' In society he made light men feel vapid, slow men became dull in contrast to his wit, and self conscious ones were embarassed, all envied him his perfect poise and touch of ennui. Everly's reputation with his fellow clubmen was good. They respected, admired, and even looked up to him. But he indulged in no friends, and to visitors was pointed out as the personiiication of cold self centered interest. A Everly had never been known to thaw. He never grew enthusiastic on any subject but with the utmost ease pricked the glorious illusions of his acquaintances with his delicate needle of cynicism. He was sparkling, clever, brilliant. His repartee was often repeated Everly's latest. He was demanded as an after dinner speaker. But the ultimate element of his being seemed to be impersonality, coldness, almost contempt towards mankind. This evening the doctor noted with surprise that Everly had brought a friend to supper with him. The contrast between the two men was marked. The The Royal Purple, Vol. X, companion was broadly and solidly built and of medium height with a tanned and weatherbeaten countenance. Before the evening had gone far his genial attitude had been felt in dining room, billiard hall, and den. Yet to the observing there was more of interest in these men than the mere outward difference in their character. An indefinable understanding existed on the part of both, and made itself known only by unconscious signs one to the other. The old doctor noticed a change in Everly. He was more cordial than usual. The doctor watched with shrewd insight. His keen eyes from years of practice bored deeper into human life and motives than people dreamed ofg now he found a baffling study. What is it that so interests me, he quizzed himself. Ah was that it, that intangible something that exists between dear friends shown in the voice? Yet surely not in Everly's case, he mused. It was not like him to have friends. A scandal or some hold, could that be the influence? No, hardly, for in these men there was no antagonism. He could not settle the problem so he decided to wait. That was the doctor's methodg to wait. V Eleven o'clock came and found a group of men gathered around the open fire place in the smoking room. Everly and his friends had joined the company, drawing a little apart as they took seats. The wind had risen with a. cold moon and was now coming in rushing squalls against the thick windows of the club. Some one mentioned that it was a bad night on the lake and more than one late arrival who had seen the threaten- ing clouds in the north and felt the cold wind strike through his clothing shud- dered as he thought of the consequences of the night. But within the club it only made the fire burn brighter as it was drawn in leaping flames up the wide mouth of the chimney. There is something primeval in mankind which comes from the depths of the inner nature'and glows answering the call of the fire side. Loquacious people grow silent, taciturn become more talkative. By their humble campfires our half naked ancestry told tales of flerce warlike gods and constructed beautiful stories about the sun, moon, and stars. Under the almost magic influ- ence of the dancing flames men's fancies wander and imagination and speculation take the place of the talk of the world. To the old doctor these assemblies meant much. It was recreation. After a day's work in the operating room he enjoyed to associate with younger men and remember the days when life was rosy to himself. Every group was a novel one. There was always something to learn if one but listened and Watched. Tonight his eyes were on Everly. One chubby little fellow known as Rolly was telling a story. Doc Riley was telling me about a woman who put her seven year old daughter under influ- ence CI guess they call it thatj. She sent the kid in her mind, you understand, Cornell College to another city where her father was on business. She saw her father in the hotel lobby and afterwards told what he did. On his return it happened to be just as she had said. I call it wonderful, he ended looking from face to face for approval. Several nodded evident belief to his appeal for notice. Other stories and experiences followed until the conversation veered toward spiritualism. I have an aunt who is wonderful at diagnosing noises, one said skeptically. There was a moment of silence, then the old doctor spoke in reproof, I know personally and have heard of many other cases where people have 'been called a great distance by ill or dying ones. I myself believe that there is some- thing in it-spiritualism, mental telepathy, call it what you like. This is a great lot of talk, a third said. We are supposed to be unimaginative business men, laughed a fourth. And indeed a student of human nature could have gotten much from the facial expressions of the gathering. All of them educated men, they were delving deep into the land of the unknown, the mystic, almost the superstitious. One face showed wonder and intense interest, another incredulity but not unmixed with doubt, for in their hearts they all believed with the doctor that after all there might be something in it. Everly's perfect mouth was twisted into a refined smile yet he listened almost eagerly. At the doctor's speech one might have noticed a quick motion Of approval from Everly's friend. But when he spoke it was in a quiet voice, I have a story, he said, one that I can vouch for if it is not too much for you to go still deeper into spirit- ualism. By no means, several answered him. New cigarettes were lit and all settled themselves to listen. Outside black clouds were whirling overhead and the wind was whistling through the network of wires along the side of the club, with weird insistant meanings and wailings which carried through the thick wall to the fireside and made the group draw closer to the fire. During the moment's silence, before he began his tale, the stranger had undergone a remarkable change. His ruddy face even in the firelight paled visibly,'and his large gray eyes reflected yellow. He passed his hand with a slow tired motion over his forehead. When he spoke again it was in a peculiar vibrant voice, which grated harshly on the nerves of those who were more sensitive. You must know before I begin my story something of our family histo1'y. But for the facts that I will never see you again and that all my relatives are dead I might not tell this, for it lies close to family tendencies, which are horrible The Royal Purple, Vol. X, to think of. He paused and wiped a beaded perspiration from his brow and coughed slightly. Your eastern climate does not agree with me, he said par- enthetically. I was born in Massachusetts. My family is an old one and is accounted aristocratic, but I have buried that in the past. I have tried to forget. His voice was softer, but there was that in it that made the listeners shudder. He was gazing with a fascinated, far-a-way expression into the fire. He paused to re-light his cigar. As a child I was brought up among books, and I may say was naturally fond of reading, but not as a child should read. I was abnormal and my childish imagination fed itself on such books as Poels weird tales and the horrible portions of Dante. ' Again he hesitated and coughed slightly. Then as if speaking to himself, he murmured, I can not stay in this climatef, Everly made a quick motion of disapproval, as if he would stop his friend, but evidently thought better of it. The man went on speaking in a low voice, My family has a secret, not known to many, for the world soon forgets. I inherited a vivid imagination. A doctor might call it morbid. I often terrified my parents with my unnatural and abnormal ideas as well as by strange fits of reverie, from which sometimes they could not arouse me for days at a time, and from which I emerged weakened and dull. At times my brain whirled with thoughts and emotions, at other times I became morose and stupid. The old doctor growled indignantly to himself. At this moment, the nar- rator taking his eyes from the fire gazed directly at the doctor. Wl1y did your people let you read that trash? the doctor exclaimed. Everly's friend relaxed from his trance-like attitude. With the same tired motion he passed his hand over his eyes. Little attention was paid to me. My father's health was poor, and my mother had much to worry over. The doctor's eyes flashed, but he did not speak again. Some one apologized. Just one of doc's hobbies, he said. Before the doctor could retort the story was continued. I'was born with such a vivid imagination that not even the skies could enclose it. I dreamed of far off inhabited planets. I seemed to know how their peoples lived. I made the unreal in nature actual, while realities often sank in my perspective into dim phantoms. One day I came upon a book on spiritualism fone that had belonged to my grandfatherj. I read it through greedily, and with childish faith, I believed all I read. I think I did obtain some proficiency along those lines on which the spiritualists work. Knockings on the door and kindred noises made deep impressions on me. At night after my old nurse had tucked me into bed, the wind had syllabification in every gust, which I thought I could understand, if only I had the key. In my play-dead earnest play it was too-I attempted to carry on conversation with the spirits. Cornell Clollege I should think it was dead earnest, the old doctor mumbled. The speaker looked up again in the doctorls direction, but the doctor made a deprecatory gesture with his hand. The narratorls voice was husky now. Some one ordered wine which he drank eagerly. He went on speaking. Wheth- er this was but the overwrought tension of my mind, to which my unnatural thoughts and feelings had brought me or whether it was that deep insight, which is sometimes given to children, I do not know, but -it has been the bane of my life. To this day, I can often feel the same sensations as when a child. Often times as I hung on the borderland between sleeping and waking I heard voices singing and my heart would leap to my throat and wake me. I was a puny child. It worried my parents, this condition of mine, but it was not until later that they found the cause of the malady which was making me even more delicate than I had been. It puzzzled our doctor so he decided to send me to the country. lVIy old nurse packed the trunk but I managed to conceal the book there. I shall never forget the strange pained expression on my father's face when he called me into the library that day. The big book was on the table in plain view. His stern austere face was set grimly. Without hesitation he asked, 'My son where did you get this book ?' He laid his hand on the volume with what even to my childish conception, seemed a loathing fear, as if he were touching a deadly poison. The attitude startled and terrified me. I began to whimper. 'Where did you get it ?' he insisted. 'In the attic in Gran'pa's old chest,' I cried. He gazed at me angrily for a moment then his face softened more than I ever before had seen it. He made me tell every thing. As he questioned me his voice was broken with emotion. For a long time he remained quite still looking past me out into the green springtime. I remember that the old library, always dark, seemed yet more gloomy for out doors the sun was shining. Finally my father said, 'You shouldnit read this book. Promise me you will stop thinking of it.' Then almost in a frenzy he yelled at me, 'There is no truth in it., He frightened me. 'Nothing in it,' he repeated and repeated that one phrase seem- ing to forget my presence. I crept silently from the room. The speaker hes- itated then said slowly, That scene, gentlemen is indented on my soulf' Everly, again made the same involuntary move to stay his friend, but find- ing the doctor's eyes on him he said nothing. It was not until long afterward when I learned the cause of my Grand- father's death that I understood the full significance of my parentls strange mood. The tendencies of our family have led us to believe in the unreal, the phenomenal, the things that are not common in life. I learned that my Grandfather had committed suicide. He had studied that book. I have never entirely outgrown these horrible tendencies. I have never The Royal Purple, V ol. X , dared allow myself to fully believe in the immaterial, for it throws my brain and soul into a whirl bordering on madness. I will skip intervening years of my life. When I went to college I found that any abstract thinking carried me far into the realms of speculation, to the very verge of insanity. I grew afraid of myself. I had a few acquaintances who admired the strange stories I wrote for the college paper but I repelled them as friends. I was moody and retiring. It was then gentlemen that one of the most christian and unselfish services that man can do for man was offered me. Probably the most brilliant and promising man in the university, came through the medium of the college magazine into direct contact with me. He looked at me coldly, analytically. He has told me since that it was curiosity as to my condition which made him force my friendship. He became acquainted with me. I was stubborn. I did not care for his company nor yet his friendship, but he is a masterful man. I wished to be left alone, but he compelled me to believe in him. One day my father had told me the history of our family.. He swore then that God helping him he would not die as his father had. We are a very religious people having something of the Puritan in us. He added. Then he sat gazing into the fire. No one interrupted him in his meditation. Some one coughed suggestively and he roused himself. ' Yet in spite of his utmost efforts, I am sure of it, one day came the news of my fatherls death. The narrator's voice quivered and he shook his head positively as if he had convinced himself of the fact a hundred times before. It was the hereditary tendency that forced him to it. The hereditary influence. This disaster made a deep impression on me. I became as I have said before, moody, thoughtful. I was taken sick. It was brain fever. My friend almost gave his life for mine at the bedside. I lay there for weeks and always when I opened my eyes he was there pale but smiling at my pettiness and foolish babbling questions. I owe that man my life. Tears sprang to his eyes and his voice choked. . When he resumed his tone was 'firmer again. The attitude was more calmed. It was my meditations on my inheritance, I believe, that prostrated me, causing my illness. I believed for days at a time that I was killing myself. When I was so weak that I could hardly move I would feel with unfathomable terror a wild impulse to end,all, yet with equal perverseness, I found myself willing against what seemed to be a demon within me urging me onward. If it was not one terrible fantasy it was something as horrible. Sometimes I thought I held a revolver in my hand, sometimes I thought that I was on the precipitous edge of a high building, again it was water, but always there was that unseen force which was so real to my delirium. Poe calls it, 'The Imp of the Perverse.' Cornell College I cried to my friend to save me. His touch calmed me. I recovered, though but slowly. My sickness drew us together. We became as brothers. It was wonderful this love of ours. I could not bear to be separated from my friend even for a day. But after graduation I went into the law and time made it bearable al- though it did not diminish our friendship. Were you conscious in your delirium P the doctor interrupted. The speaker looked vaguely at the doctor. The question was repeated. Ah, not wholly so at any time, I was semi-conscious at intervals, and he went into another reverie. E f The doctor was apologetic when he spoke again, You can be proud of your friend. He is one in a million. It only comes once 'in a thousand lives such a friendship. Excuse me, but I too am an idealistf' Ah, you have a friend, the stranger cried. Dead, the doctor muttered laconically. The stranger paused reverently before he took up the broken theme. Again he was interrupted by the entrance of a dapper little fellow who threw himself in a chair on the opposite side of the fireplace. The narrator showed no annoyance but Went on speaking before the doctor could introduce the newcomer. What to me is the most wonderful of all is the history of the next ten years of my life. Shortly after we were separated I again became moody and had often meditated in a quiet and earnest way for days on a suicide asia means of freeing myself from the world of terrible fancies to which my naturally diseased mind was a constant slave. During these moods I felt a strange influence. I call it the sympathetic bond which often times holds friends, but I have no proof but my own feeling and the experiences through which I passed. You may call it mental telepathy or our spirits working togethe1'. You 1nay say the things I tell you are but a string of coincidences, or but the thoughts of a diseased b1'ain. Ten years of my life after leaving college were horror and struggle, yet it is a wonderful story to me. As I said we were separated and in spite of a promise I made my friend to keep my mind on legal matters, despite my efforts, I lived in constant fear of myself night and day. When I saw water I dared not go near for I found myself speculating on the sensations I might experience if I should happen some day to plunge into the swift current. I cannot swim a stroke. Those who have been rescued at the last moment, say it is a wonderful way to die. If I sat alone in my study I found that my thoughts turned dispassion- ately, yet inexorably toward suicide. At one time I had actually bought a revolver and it was only due to that strong influence that I had not accomplished the crime which I had so long con- templated. I was holding the gun in my hand one day, the speaker shuddered. The Royal Purple, Vol. X, I had been sitting for days in a torpid state, a stupor. It may have been a day or a month for all I knew of the lapse of time. lVIy old nurse, my housekeeper now, never interrupted these moods for on being disturbed I flew into a frenzied exhausting passion. llfly feelings were surging within me. I raised the revolver fondling it, I remember I kissed its sleek handle. I cocked the gun lingering in the occupation, not out of hesitancy or indicision, but I believe now, more from the mere pleasure it seemed to render me to delay the deed, for the pleasure I seemed to derive in the thought that I soon would be in oblivion. I cocked the gun. I pressed it firmly against my temple, but even in the hairsbreath to eternity I felt an influence, a force, a will saying, 'No, no.' I saw a vision. This friend of mine descended from a train at the depot of my town. He came through the crowd. I saw his tall figure. He was hurrying, crowding, pushing his way. On the street he called a cabmang I heard the address. It was mine: 952 Armitage Avenue. The scene faded. I was filled with the devil-like fury of a madman. I put the revolver to my forehead. I felt the restraining influence, the strong will of my friend. It was on my arm, my hand. I struggled against it. 'You will not cheat me,' I cried. I heard the report of the gun and all was darkness. During the last few moments of his tale the stranger had worked himself into something more than mild frenzy. His words were sharp and quick. His listeners were carried away. They saw the scene with him. With ineffable weariness he now leaned forward seeming about to topple out of his chair. A brooding silence settled on the group and many minutes passed unnoticed. The story was continued. When I awoke I was in my friend's arms and my old nurse was throwing water in my face. You will say nothing of this to anyone, Nora, he said. He will be all right in a minute. The bullet grazed his head. My friend, neglecting his business, stayed with me during my relapse. I dared not speak of the breach of faith, of the solemn promise I had broken. One day he said, 'You've got to get out of here. You look old. Listen. I've got an idea. Father has a ranch out west. Go out there. Get strong. Stay in the saddle sixteen hours and you'll sleep the other eight of the day. For- get yourself. We'll make a man of you yet, you and I together. Don't give up old man,' he pleaded when I objected. I went and it was a hard fight at first but whenever I fell in any way I felt that wonderful will power, that intangible help, that mysterious feeling. In imminent danger my friend and second life has always come to guide and en- courage mc.', Everly's friend paused and looked around at the ring of sober thoughtful Cornell College faces. Everly was scowling and sitting nervously on the edge of his chair. The doctor noticed the attitude and was puzzled. A beautiful story of friendship, the doctor sighed. Some curious one asked, Did you ever entirely get over your trouble ?', The next moment he regretted it for the doctor glared at him warningly. However the stranger answered calmly, Lately I have been troubled but little. I come from a robust stock far back and it seems the more perfect grip I get on this old world the more my mind becomes as the world's.', The late arrival who had listened earnestly to the latter part of the tale had forgotten his unlit cigarette and was staring with knit brows, biting his lips. Suddenly a thought came to him, and dapper little Daniels, usually the last to comprehend felt a great wave of illumination pass over him. He, alone, saw the full significance of the story. He sprang to his feet and grabbed the strangeris hand. Grumps, he cried. Then he turned and looked eagerly at Everly who was sitting a little in the back of the group but meeting a threatening glance in that direction he subsided into his seat again. Little Daniels had been a freshman and it was only after the doctor's introduction that Westing remembered him. Perhaps because it was so late or maybe it was the luxuriously warm room dimly lit by the dying fire, together with the sounding gusts of rain laden wind which swept against the window-panes, that made these keen- listeners less ob- serving than usual. Or, it may have been a combination of these things together with the strange unnatural tones of Mr. Westing's voice as he threw a certain wild charm into the story, that cast them into deep- thought. Perhaps these things lent the veil that clouded their perspective. However that may be, but person caught the full significance of Little Daniels's sudden action. There one was some speculation among the clubmen but they soon remanded the incident and decided that it was one of Danny's raw stunts. lt was forgotten in a week and only the stranger's queer influence remained. As for the old doctor, when the quiet crowd broke up, he went to his room and sat on the edge of his bed and repeated one phrase very slowly, over and over again, drawing it out in saying it and wagging his white head thoughtfully up and down. Well, 'Young Everly'l I'll be damned. He repeated this phrase with variations. Then he rolled over and composed himself for sleep. It may be noted that afterwards whenever anyone mentioned Everly as a cynic or pointed him out as a sceptic in the old doctor's presence he always mut- tered, All bosh or Nonsense or Nothing to it at all. In fact the doctor became quite rabid at times. But as doctors often do he never explained why the world's diagnosis in this case was not true. ' 5fvM3!5'1. v.- .V 1.

Eng da' Once upon a time in a place called Cornell lived a little boy whose name was P. Gad. P. Gad was a pretty boy and very smart, but children, he had one fault. He loved pretty clothes above all else. Yes, more than health, for he wore low shoes in the blizzards in order that his pretty stockings might be seen. Yes he loved fine clothes more than his class. VVhy, once when his class had a tug-of-war with the Freshmen P. Gad sat on the roof of a near by building with a new red tie glowing in the sunshine and had to he dragged from his perch in order to pull with his class. Did he get Wet? Yes, children, he did, very wet and his nice clothes hung dismally full of water. Poor P. Gad, his heart was nearly broken but his play mates had no pity for him. The moral of this true story, dear children, is Pride goeth before a ducking.
