I 1 r GREETING 1 1 n JN this volume of the Bronco we have endeavored to record faithfully the actual happenings of the High School pupils for this term. If in future years it may help them recall the joys and sorrows of bygone days, and bring to them memories of school day friends, long since forgotten, then our efforts will not have been in vain. nri □ Dedication Greetings Bronco Board Faculty Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Domestic Art Athletics John B.

This issue, which carried on February 2, 1915, gave about fifty thousand dollars to be used in building a new high school building, and about twenty-five thousand to be spent on the ward schools. Denton had the greatest need of a new high school building—at least it seemed that way to us high school students. Since we felt as if we must do something to show our appreciation, we marched :n a body from the high school to the square. We were led by the Denton band and carried our school and class banners, as well as many others made for the occasion, bearing such inscriptions as “Greater and Better Schools,” “Now the Athens of Texas,” “Just to Show our Appreciation,” etc. We marched around the square once or twice and finally gathered on the southwest corner to give our school songs and yells. With such yell leaders as Elbert Hooper, Virgil Brady and Ben Ivey, we attracted a good sized crowd, and impressed the voters, beyond doubt, of our appreciation. While we were here our high school photographer took the above picture of us.

We who were to play a part upon the stage of time earnestly plunged into our school work. We soon gained fame as orators and musicians because of the talents for those arts. Athletics was not neglected, for foot ball and basket ball aided greatly in creating the “pep” needed in the high school Although we suffered a few hardships, our first year passed rather successfully, and the name of Sophomore was conferred upon us. Having so thoroughly mastered the freshman subjects, we thought ourselves worthy of the name. The Sophomore year was a new era in our high school work. It marked the beginning of the literary period. Rhetoric and composition were studied with enthusiasm; much pleasure was found in the study of mediaeval and modern history. Algebra, which had been difficult to other classes, was easily mastered by us. Our Sophomore year, which had been most pleasant for us, soon closed; and it was with regret that we begun our Junior work. Rut the Junior subjects were soon found to be very interesting. The broad field of American literature was devastated by us; and as a result, we des'red to study the work of the great American writers. Still progressing in the study of Latin, we were interested in Cicero’s orations. We studie geometry for the first time, and delighted in proving the propositions. iiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitii THE UK ONVO I htmr X Pngt Xinetern The dreams of being Seniors at last have come true. Now, as Seniors, we can look back over what has been accomplished during the preceding years. We find that our work is almost a continuation of the past, but there are a few changes. We are spending our time in the pursuit of different studies. In the study of Civics, we have learned much about Texas and Federal laws. Some have found to be very beneficial the study of bookkeeping. which has recently been added to the High School curriculum. In Kngl sh literature, we find that our range has been made broader by parallel readings. Our class having gradually decreased now as Seniors, we find that eleven students remain to represent it. Step by step we have conquered the many difficulties which lay in our path, and now we realize that we have won a victory. We have been toiling tor four long years to reach that final day. Pardon us if we have related with too much praise the events in our school history; we consider them of some importance. However, we shall not forget to hope sincerely that the noble work of the High School faculty, to whom we are indebted for many happy, beneficial hours, will be crowned with success; and that the I). II. S. will continue to grow and be a source of high learning. —Mary Ellen Conley. Summer Days for Mine The trees are dark on the weary hills, The birds sing with a heartless shrill, The weary hawks are flying low, Gently falling is the snow. Spring in all her splendor comes! The bees are working with a hum, The flowers growing at our feet Will soon be withered by the heat. The hills and every shady brook Are used tor shot gun and for hook, And many say, “It’s very fine, I’ll take the summer days lor mine.” niitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiMitiiiiiiiiitiiiuiiiiiiitintiiiiiiitiiiiittiititiiiitttittiiiiittiittitiiiiiiiiniittiiiiiinitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Page Tirmly T K U H 0 N U 0 mi iimimimiiiiiiiiiifMiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiimiMiniiiiiiimiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Voluiur X Senior A Class Officers President ..............................Virgil R.

When you have read the record of our achievements, you may judge of our success; but we beg of you to pardon something to a poor chronicler. The trials and tribulations that we suffered as Freshmen were not very different from those endured by other Freshmen. We were scorned and jeered at by the “Sophs”; we were only tolerated by the Juniors; and we were objects of the grea est indifference to the Seniors. But in the spring, when one of our classmen won honors over a higher classman in an oratorical contest, we became more respected by the “uppers, and naturally our confidence and self-assurance were restored. In the meantime we were plodding along obscurely, trying to master the cppar. ntlv impossible in Science, “Math. English and Latin. Some of us learned how to conjugate well the verb “Amo and some to distinguish between “x“ and “y” by the time the final “exams slipped upon us. Then by the goodness of our teachers, we passed into the realm of Sophomoredom. Our Sophomore year was one of achievements. In athletics we were conspicuous. Many of our men entered the “try out for the foot ball team, ana a few made it. Not a few boys and girls won renown for themselves as well as for their class in tennis and basket ball. But our greatest achievement was our representation in the district oratorical contest, an honor which no other Sophomore class has attained in tin history of the Denton High School. During this year some of us finally got the hazy notion that all Gaul was divided into three parts, that a stalk of corn was a monocotyledonous plant, and that English composition was our most essential work. These with a few other hazy notions passid us into the junior year. In oil- Junior year we sprii kkd liberally all activities of school life. Many of our classmen were named in the local paper as playing a star game on ihe gridiron. One of our members represented the Denton High Schot' in the State Oratorical contest, an honor which the High School never be- .......... Vvlwnr X THE HR 0X00 Png Tirrnlg-wrrn llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIHIIIIIIIIIIItllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllHHIIIHIIIIIIIII|lllllll|lll fore enjoyed. In fact, everything of note that was accomplished in high school during this year the Juniors had at least one or two worthy representatives. To relate in detail the important events and the achievements of our Senior year would seem vainglorious indeed. It is sufficient to say that this year marks a fitting climax in the first period of our lives. Bravely we have fought and won with some credit to ourselves, we hope, and not a little credit to our teachers, who have at all times been so fai.hful and patient. —Vivion Rogers, Historian.

Senior B Class History HE present Senior B (’lass entered the Denton High School in the mid-term of 1912, As a sturdy band of boys and girls we entered into the spirit of the school with such alacrity that we caused all to he surprised and made even the Seniors stop and take notice. As Sophomores we took the prize. Only a few fell by the wayside or grew too fast for our high school life and entered the great and unknown world in search of frivolous gayeties unknown to a Sophomore. In our Junior year we were a little more dignified, and grew in knowledge to such an extent that B's were only occasional visitants and A's were never known. Some even had such high aspirations as to forge ahead and enter a higher class. But with hearty wishes we sped them on, and may they leave as grand a record on the “Doom's-day Book” as we shall leave when we graduate in the mid-terra of 1915-16. Not only in knowledge have we excelled, hut also in foot-ball, basketball and all other athletics known at High School, even to the daring feat of sending a note undetected across the study hall during Prof. Jackson’s supervision period. Despite all our energy and mischief in these lines, we have endeared ourselves to all the faculty and they to us. And we, the Senior B’s of 1915-16, owe our success more to the mi iring efforts of these true friends than to the pursuing of our studies by the midnight oil. —Mable Brim, Historian.

We could discuss at length our exceeding brilliance and attractiveness, to say nothing of our other natural endowments; but since it is not our desire to seem to exaggi rate, but merely to give a history of the class, we shall play the part of the true historian and confine ourselves to dry facts. Our class was the first Freshman class to enter the John B. Denton High School, entering in the fall of 1912. We were therefore resolved to make it the most noted, and on account of a strong determination we are still clinging to this resolution. ..............................................................................................................................

Since that time we have had very few failures; very few have dropped from the roll; and we have had a large number of additions. As a class we are first in athletics, having a larger representation on the first foot-ball team than any other class in high school. It is unnecessary to state that we are proud of this, as it takes an unusual amount of ability to make the first team. We are equally well represented in tennis and basket ball, having several star players among the girls as well as among the boys. In oratory our boys are of necessity by far the strongest. We are certainly proud of being so well represented along this line, as it is no small honor. Along literary lines we are rapidly developing. Anyone, having had the pleasure of being present at one of the luncheons served to the Faculty during the past term, might easily have formed a definite conclusion concerning the excellencies of our Domestic Science girls. When we entered High School we looked up to the Seniors in all their glory and dignity as the one goal of our ambition, and this seemed to us at that time almost unattainable. But by an unfaltering effort on the part of ourselves and our instructors, we passed through the many trials and misgivings of the doubtful Freshman and Sophomore years. Now that we are High Juniors we have already begun to assume to some extent the dignified air of the Seniors. In another few weeks we shall have passed into that glorious, happy and apparently unattainable Senior year, the most noted of all throughout high school life. As we near what was once our intended goal, we, the Juniors of the year ’14-'15, find that we have not yet reached the height of our ambition, but in the near future we shall become stars in some of the most renowned institutions of learning in the land From these, we shall go forth as physicians, ministers, philosophers, and statesmen of our country.

These “signs are in a large register which is kept in the superintendent’s office. CHAPTER II Our First or Low Fresh year at High School (Jan., 1913-May, 1913). In January, 1913, we came to the High School from the R E. Lee, Sam Houston and Stonewall Jackson Schools. We marched up to the I). H. S., sixtv-three in number, with smiling faces ami proud hearts. Wc were not even thought of as “Freshies,” because we came at mid-term and, after Christmas holielays were over, we were thoroughly initiates! into High School “Manners and Customs and acted like “High School Kids. CHAPTER III High Freshman (Sept., 1913-Jan., 1914). By this time we had gained a recorel for ourselves.

In English we were IT; In Latin we were always right, In “Math.” we made a hit. In Domestic Science we were fine, In Science we were better; From the first we learned to “toe the line,’ For “A” was onr ideal letter. CHAPTER IV Onr record as Low Sophs. (Jan., ’14-May, 14). Glorious year! we ceased to be “Freshies.” The then Freshies began to look up to us and to imitate our actions. That term we were very active, not only in our studies, but also in the athletic and oratorical contests. Several of our boys became foot-ball stars; others won laurels as orators; while some of our girls did well in basket-ball and tennis. At this time we were the equal of the Seniors for faithful attendance and, together with them, we were given a holiday as a reward. CHAPTER V We, as High Sophs. (Sept., 1914-Jan., 1915). On September tin fifth, we again assembled in our study hall. Only a few of the original sixty-three had deserted, and the places ot those who had deserted were filled by new recruits. This was one of the most important years of our High School course, and, fully realizing this, we determined not only to keep up our former “rep” but to improve upon it, if possible. As an aid to this we chose for our motto; “We not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking.' It was this year that we began some ot the higher branches of study. These we handled well, however. We kept up our “rep” in athletics and in literary work also. We delighted all of our teachers ami competently fitted ourselves for Low Juniors, which honor was thrust (?) upon us after exams. CHAPTER VI And after Exams. (Jan., 1915-----). We have passed. Most of us are still together. We now find ourselves just over the “Sophomore Wall” into the “Land of the Juniors.' We have started with the determination to win good grades and so far we have succeeded. We intend to keep this up; and, although the goal has not beep reached, we are not far from it.

But we six of that class who have pulled through the nine intervening years would want to disagree with her. For that was the memorable year when the nucleus of this class entered upon i+s checkered career. If Death had not entered our Freshman class there would have been seven of us. Hut silently the monster entered and silently he carried away one of our dearest comrades. Again during the following summer one of our comrades passed from our midst. We miss those friends sorely. Their places can never be filled. The seven years before we left Grammar School were marked by events not unusual to all classes. Pupils dropped out and others entered until in 1913, when we graduated from Grammar School. Our class was the first to have graduating exercises. Those diplomas are the crowning glory of that moment! The next September, when we entered the Freshman class in the High School, we found there were many things to learn. As related in our last history, we fought many battles with “Ignorance” in the form of Algebra, English, History and Latin. And now that we have reached the next rung and are at last Sophomores, we feel that we are winning. Although our battles never cease, we are climbing toward that much sought goal—Seniors. Before long we shall be the (’lass of 1917. —Naomi Haren, Historian. limillllllMIIIIIMtlH l'nge Forty-nine Volume X r n k n k o ,v a o Sophomore Troubles Come, O Freshman, and you shall hear Of the midnight toils of the Sophomore year. There are History outlines and English themes That harass your days and disturb your dreams. History is hard, not any bluff. But Latin prose! That's the stuff That makes the Sophomores cry and wail And feel their efforts of no avail. Geometry can only be learned by toil. And the burning quarts of midnight oil. While English with Latin, don’t you know. Is the cause of many a Sophomore’s woe. So if of trouble you would steer clear. Dear Freshman, avoid the Sophomore year. —Frances Weathers, Sophomore.

This long-wished for, and therefore important, event had been the goal set by the class of 1914 since their entrance into the lower schools, and now they had attained it! Perhaps to you, this does not appear to be such a startling fact, but to the members of the class it is all-important. It stands preeminent in their thoughts, for here are MORE foes to conquer; but as the class have previously shown their ability in this line, you may expect to hear wonderful things of them in the future. Of course, they now had another ambition: that of graduating from High School. That necessitated passing through the respective stages of verdant “Freshie,” presumptuous “Soph,’ aspiring Junior, and dignified Senior. As means to an end, this class, now in the first stage of development, studied laboriously and, as a result, managed to pass the spring exams. In the following September, the same class now more tamiliar with the teachers and the High School itself, began to take an interest in the athletic and oratorical departments. It furnished several stars for both foot-ball and basket ball: also, several of the boys of the class showed marked ability to “speechify.” After the mid-term examinations, the class, with the exception of a few members, was raised to the dignity which becomes a Sophomore. This naturally exalted the class in its own estima'ion, and it is barely possible that the members were slightly over-bearing in their actions towards the hresh-h s.” They knew, however, that this wovdd not secure for them A s, so laying aside all nonsense, they are now working earnestly and faithfully in order to earn the title of Sophomore by passing the final examinations, thus preparing themselves for the last half of the Sophomore year. On the side, they are joyfully congratulating themselves that they are not so far advanced but that they will be able to spend a few years in the proposed new High School building. The class has had splendid success in all its undertakings so far, and as “Well begun is half done,” it may feel encouraged and look for the best of fortune while travelling the rocky road of knowledge. —Mildred Palmer, Historian.

We came into High School with a very good record from the Grammar Schools and our teachers, whom we have learned to love, tell us that this one year, so short in time, has not all been in vain; so we are encouraged and know that we can have a strong class in a few years. We arc fond of High School and find our surroundings different from what we expected. Perhaps this is because we have for our motto,“Never shirk from duty.” And we do not shirk. Now it may surprise you that we little EIGHTH GRADERS are following such a motto, but you find surprises all along through life. If you are in doubt about some of our classes, visit our English class and you will be surprised at what we-----know, (f) I have said that we found High School different from that which we expected, this is particularly true in regard to the Seniors. We thought they were high-headed and mean; and, although they write and say rediculous things about us, they are not half as mean as we thought; for you see we expected snubbing from them. But I am not writing history; our history is yet to he made. You will hear from us later. —Beulah Witt, Historian.

They put him through his English And make him learn it too; lie never says “have saw” you know Cause that would never do. He never says “I've went to school” When he should say “have gone;” For when you re learning Grammar On verbs you should be strong. He learns his Ancient History, And his Algebra through and through.

The Annual Christmas Dinner On the evening of December the eleventh, at seven o’clock, the High Nine Domestic Science girls entertained with their annual Christmas dinner for the Board of Trustees. The table was simply and effectively laid in satin damask, cluny, silver and cut glass; while a Japanese wicker basket filled with fruit and nuts was used as a centerpiece. The favors were hand painted menu folders, within which the guests’ names and the class roll were printed. The guests spent the evening very pleasantly discussing various subjects of interest to the present day educators. The menu was as follows: 1‘ar e Sixty-tight T 11 K 1) HO N C O Volume.

A Cooking Girl 1 met a little High School girl, She was just from cooking, she said. Her hair had lost its erispsv curl, Her face was ever red. She made a hasty pudding there, And she was very mad, And in her eyes was a deadly glare, Which made me very sad. “Troubles and blisters, little maid, how Many may there be?’’ “How many? the sears tell that, you Jake,” And frowning, she looked at me. “But what are your grades? I pray you tell,” She answered, “Don't ask me, Ask Miss Storrie. she can tell.” Then I knew she got a “D.” —NELLIE IIE1SIG, Low 9.

We are sorry to see Tom graduate this year. COMPTON: “Ty” is an all round football player, playing end and quarter for us this year. While playing quarter he is eool headed and he is also skilfull in passing and booting the ball. WITT: Our quarterback’s eool headiness has aided us materially. His skill in returning punts is sensational and he also passes the ball well. We expect Emory to strengthen the team next year. GOODE: This is “Teck’s” second year on the team and he has proved to be one of the nerviest players who ever appeared on the 1). II. S. gridiron. At fullback, he showed up well by running interference as well as passing and booting the ball. “Teck” is as good a player on the defense as he is on the offense. FAERBER: This was “Dutch’s” first year playing football but he showed up well. He played tackle and was ready to open a hole when called upon. Walter graduates this year. MATHEWS: “Stubbs” made the team this year for his second time. He was a good tackier and an open field runner. Stubbs should strengthen next year’s eleven. GRANT: Claude played center for us during the most of the season. His passing is accurate and lie tackles hard. Claude will make some one play next season to keep him off the team. SMITH: This was “Rusty's second year on the team and he played in better form than he did last season. He is a good line plunger and broken field runner. We are sorry to see Russel graduate this year. IIUFFIIINES: “Huffy played guard this year. On account of his weight he always opened a hole when called upon. The team should be strengthened by Roy’s service next season. GODFREY: “Pres played guard for us this season. He was always ready when called upon and was a sure tackier.

We had only three old men for a nucleus from which we could build our team. But under such conditions Coach Harris and Professor Jackson soon rounded us in playing condition. Gainesville was our first opponent. On Saturday, October 10. the Gainesville players arrived for our first so-called game. They were sure of victory, so were we. Our players showed some nervousness at first, but this soon wore away and we captured Gainesville’s scalp by a 36-7 score. Saturday, October 17, we were matched with McKinney High. The first half of the game was a fine exhibition of football with 1). II. S. leading by a 7-0 score. During tin first few minutes of the last half, the McKinney boys, for some unknown reason, vamoosed to town, forfeiting the game to us by a 1-0 score. On Saturday. October 31, we met North Fort Worth High at Panther Park. Our team fell under the onslaught of the fast Fort Worth warriors, and they gave us an unmerciful drubbing by an 81-0 score. On Saturday, November 7, we met McKinney on their home grounds. We were playing fine until we saw we were not receiving fair play. This dis- t'illume X THE UK ON CO Page Srrrn tg Ih nr couraged the team and we were defeated 16-0. Our entire eleven showed flood form but every move made by us was subject to a penalty. On November 14. we met Dallas High on our own grounds. Our two defeats proved disastrous to us and our team did not show the form it. might have. We were defeated 13-0. November 21, we went to meet Gainesville. In spite of our defeats, we had been practicing hard and were determined to win this game as it was the last game of the season. On several occasions we got the ball in striking distance ot Gainesville s goal only to loose it by luck being against us. We were defeated by a 6-0 score. This ended our unlucky football season of 1914. We had 43 points to our opponents’ 123. —Athletic Editor. Ode to McKinney The McKinney boys came down to try To win a game from Denton High; Of course, a bunch of “rooters” came, But they didn’t help 'em win the game After the first inning of the game, McKinney’s “cap” got mad, O shame! The Denton boys just kept on playing. Not minding what the “bunch” was saying. The McKinney boys,—they soon got blue, And left the field as others do Who come to play our football team, And mostly fail, as can be seen. page Serentg-four HIIII(llllllllllllltlllHlllllllflllillllllllllllllllllljlllllllllllllllllll||||||||||||H||||l||||||||l|||||||,|||||||||||||||l||||||l,l„lll„„l„lll„„ T11 E 1111 0 N C 0 Volume X I Reading from Left to Right: Bertha Hill.

It added to the High School one of the most unique organizations that have ever been connected with any school. This organization is the John B. Denton Literary Society, formed to increase interest in the oratorical and debating contests. Since its organization this society has won honors not only for the High School but for the city of Denton ami Denton County as well. The greatest step in the advancement of the society was made on November 30, 1914, when the members of the society voted to adopt a new constitution, admitting girls into active membership. With this addition the society hopes to create an interest that will secure flattering results; and with the material that will be put into the contests it is reasonable to suppose that the D. H.

The Edinburg Reporter Edinburg. Scotland. April 3, 1914 KING DUNCAN OF SCOTLAND FOUND MURDERED! Found Dead in Bed with Dozen Ugly Dagger Thrusts in Body. Murdered by Own Attendants. Drunken Servants Found in Stupor and Killed by Gen. Macbeth Without Trial or Hearing. Associated Press Dispatch. Edinburg, April 3.—One of the most terrible tragedies of history was discovered this morning when the body of Duncan, King of Scotland, was found in his bed-chamber hacked in a dozen places by daggers. At the entrance to the room were discovered the two attendants of the King in a drunken stupor, their hands and uniforms smeared with blood and their daggers sheathed and unwiped. Early yesterday afternoon King Duncan together with the royal party proceeded to the castle of Macbeth to engage in merry making in celebration of Macbeth’s recent victory over the enemy. After much merry-making, the King's party retired at a late hour, only the customary guard being placed on duty. This morning Macduff went to the King’s room to greet him and beheld the horrible sight of the King weltering in his own blood, his body pierced in numerous places by great and ugly cuts, one of which would have been enough to kill anyone. Macduff quickly spread the alarm and in a short time the whole castle was aroused. When Macbeth was informed of the deed and of the drunken attendants, he rushed to the scene of the tragedy and drawing his sword slew the two attendants without a word, saying afterward that he did it almost unconsciously, so great was his sorrow and anger at I lie death of his beloved sovereign. A general day of sorrow is proclaimed all over the kingdom and thousands of messages of grief pour into the city every hour from friends of the dead King. The body of the King will lie in state until Saturday when it will be carried to England and placed alongside of Duncan’s forefathers in Westminster Abbey. Special to the Reporter. A later but unconfirmed report from the scene of last night ’s great tragedy states that the two sons of the dead King and heirs to the throne have fled IIMtIlllltItllllllMItlllUIIMIIIMItlltIMIMIIIIIMlillllllltllllllllimillllMllltItlllMIIIIIIIIIIIMMIMHIIIIIIIIItllllliniMIIIIIIIIMIIIIItllllHIlUIIHIItllllllllllllllllllllltllHIlHllllltllMIIHIIIIIIIIIIMIIMMIIimiH Volume X T II E It K () N (J O Page Eighty-fire IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIttllltllMlltlllllllllllllltlllllltllllllltlllHItlflllllllllllllllltltltltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMllltllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllltllttlllllllllltllllttlllllllllltlllll 1914 the country, fearing violence from an unknown source. This leaves Macbeth as next heir to the throne. It is thought by many that last night’s tragedy is one of the results of a giant conspiracy. The aid of Scotland Yard has been called, and speedy developments are expected with these great sleuths on the scene. —Homer L. Browne. A Good Recipe If you have your English to get.

When “exams” are through and done And the gauntlet you have run, You walk out with 0’s and D’s, Try to do it with grace and ease; Do it now. Don't go round with tears and frowns.

But perhaps you don’t know the misery of a visit to her house. No? Well I’ll tell you. She is the “crankiest” Auntie you can imagine, and she is constantly lecturing and pounding into your head the vast benefit to be derived from reading “Pilgrims’ Progress” and the “Almanac.” If you have never experienced the agony of sitting for three hours at a time reading “Pilgrim’s Progress,” you can’t sympathize with me; especially if there is in the back yard a great apple tree that you are just aching to climb and three pretty soft kittens to play Avith. 1 don’t know why Allie couldn’t haAre come to stay with Aunt Martha this time. You see, dearie, Aunt Martha is very rich, and we girls are forced to spend several weeks every year with her to show our respect. But no matter whether it happens to be my time or not, Allie and Dorothy send me down here if they happen to have something else to do. You ought to see me now! You would laugh yourself to death. You knoAv I Avore my pink lawn dress and that pink hair-bow you gave me. Well, when I arrived. Aunt Martha sent me to my room but she soon followed. She Avalked into the room and grimly eyed me over her spectacles. “Now if you expect to wear such a-looking outfit round here, you'd just as AArell change your notion; for I ain’t a-going to let you look a clown around here,” she exclaimed. Marching to a huge Avardrobe in the room she selected the most ancient dress she could find and bade me put it on. I could have cried with vexation! Mother had prepared me several of the dearest little dresses you ever saAv. and here Aunt Martha Avas telling me I looked like a clown in them. But I knew by experience that Aunt Martha’s Avord Avas laAv, so donning the dress I stepped before the mirror. The figure I presented Avas the most ludicrous that mirror had ever reflected. The old-fashioned gray bodice had the plainest, narrowest kind of sleeves and the skirt Avas unbelievably large with extraordinary draperies and fringe. I looked such a queer little figure in the long skirt and tight-fitting waist that I burst into a fit of laughter. Aunt Martha asked me if I Avere crazy. “You certainly look crazy in that thing,” she scoffed, and Avith a jerk she yanked my precious pink boAv off. My dear little slippers she called foolish HMttttlfMtllllllllllllMIIMtllllinntNIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIinilllllllllllltltttllllltllllllllMIIIIMimiHMIinillllHHIIMIHIIIIHIIIIlUiailllllllllMtlHIIIIIIIIinilHIHIIIHMIMinillMIMMIIIIIHHMIMMinMtl Volume X T HE IS R 0 N C 0 P i je Eighty-term MllinillllllllMIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiMIIHMIllllMHMIllllMlilMMIIinilllllllMllltlllllllllllllllHIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIMHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIinilll and she made me put on some huge broad-toed things which she found in the wardrobe. Having decided that I looked presentable according to her ideas, I was given permission to play in the back yard, “but for land sakes not to get into meanness.” I found that climbing the apple tree and playing with Towser, the dog, were as delightful as I had imagined but even delightful things get tiresome, so after a while 1 sauntered down to the barn. I played with the sleepy looking calf awhile, but it didn’t seem inclined to play, so I ran after the chickens. Dashing around the corner I ran slap into a bunch of geese, and such racket they made I never heard before. One old goose waddled up and caught hold of my dress. With a yell, I turned and ran, but the goose came too, and after it came the calf, wideawake now. and Towser harking furiously and enjoying the fun. .My yells and the gabbling of the geese brought Sarah, the hired girl, and Aunt Martha on the scene. “Oh, Lord! You pestering child! I'll send you straight home tomorrow, you horrible thing! And she shook me something terrible. The remainder of the day I spent with Bunyan. O my! why did he ever write “Pilgrim’s Progress”? Did you ever dread Sunday? Well, you would if you lived with Aunt Martha. On Sunday we get up early and after we eat breakfast it is t me to get ready for church. Sunday morning, when I prepared to don my white voile and pink sash and flower-trimmed hat, Aunt Martha actually grew pale and grabbing my dress, sash, and hat, gasped, “Do you actually mean to wear that and to church too?” So I was doomed to wear an old black dress and bonnet more antiquated anti, if possible, more old-fashioned than the gray one. I shan't attempt to describe how Aunt Martha was dressed, for it would be impossible. It seemed as if she had dressed for a tacky-party. Thus we rode the three miles to church behind Fleet-foot. Whoever named that horse had a sense of humor, for he was anything but fleet ot foot. When we entered the church late, there was a general craning of necks; and just as soon as anyone would look at us, he would look quickly away. Some more rude than the others deliberately grinned. How I ever lived through that sermon I shall never know! Every eye in the audience seemed to be turned toward where Aunt Martha and I sat. Aunt Mar'ha seemed utterly oblivious to the stares which we received but sat very erect and gazed at the inspiring young minister as if she saw a vision. And the minister would IIIIIIIMIIIIflltllllllllltlllMlllllllltllttltlMIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIMIIIIIilllllllllllllllllllllllllltlMllllltlllllllllfMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIItlllfltinillllltlllllllltlllMlllllllllllllllltlimillHflltllllltllllliniiiiiiiifiiHitllilllliiii Page Eightg-righ THE BRONCO ' lvv t X I 1914- (iK) 1915 I slyly cast his eyes toward our pew as if he, too, saw a vision, and poor fellow! 1 guess he did. As we drove home behind Fleet-foot, Aunt Martha grew quite angry when she asked me questions about the sermon, and found that 1 could not answer a single one. O dear! how could 1 ever hear the sermon, much less remember it! The next day being Monday and Aunt Martha s market day, she was up and off bright and early. I was left at home, but oh mercy! on what condition? Listen. I was to learn the Ten Commandments and five passages from “Pilgrim’s Progress.’’ Did I mind her? She had not been gone twenty minutes when I was romping with the kittens under tin apple tree. After awhile 1 grew tired of this and glancing cautiously around the house to see if by any chance Sarah was looking. 1 turned and sped down the lane leading to the big road. Aunt Martha had told me not to go down the lane, but away 1 went, my huge shoes clattering and balloon-like skirt flopping in the wind. I didn't have the least idea where 1 was going but I wanted to get away from Aunt Martha’s gloomy house. “Great Jehosaphat, are you runnin’ away?’’ giggled a voice, and glancing at the hedge I saw protruding through a hole in the hedge the head of a boy about ten years old. llis fiery red hair stuck straight up on his head, and through myriad scratches and berry-stains his eyes twinkled mischievously. “I'm not walking, am I?” I inelegantly retorted. “Nope, 1 wouldn’t call that a walk,” and he grinned. “Shut your mouth,” 1 said, and turned to go. The idea of such an insignificant looking boy’s acting impertinently to me who would soon be thirteen whereas he was only about ten. “Say, do you like blackberries?” he coaxed. His tone was full of regret, but glancing over my shoulder I saw that he was shaking with laughter. “No, thank you,” 1 answered and gave him the haughtiest stare 1 could muster, considering my appearance. Ilis head disappeared, and I stood there wishing I hadn’t been so hasty; for I dearly love blackberries. I crept to the hedge and peeped in. “Humph,” snorted the boy as he jumped up from where he had hidden himself, “I knew you’d come; just like a girl, ain't got no sense a-tall. I said nothing but meekly crawled through the hedge. “Ain’t you a bird to come into somebody’s berry patch?” he scoffed. “Well, you don’t look much better.” I blazed and scornfully pointed to his huge tattered shoes. He blushed and dug a hole in the sand with the toe of his shoe. “Let’s run a race down this hill,” he challenged. “Agreed,” I cried.

Near the end of the lane there was an abrupt corner to turn. Around this corner we flew and dashed slap into an old woman who was carrying a huge basket full of vegetables. Basket, vegetables, old woman and I crashed to the ground. The woman was Aunt Martha! 0 you should have heard her rave! The boy ran off laughing. He was as much to blame as I. Just like a boy,—always getting girls into trouble, then laughing at ’em. Just wait; if I ever see that boy again! Aunt Martha raved all the way to the house, and the next morning I was sent home. Somehow I hated to go. I really believe I enjoyed my visit to Aunt Martha’s! Yours forever, JANE. The Dance on the Border Sled after sled bearing loads of joy-makers came into Border Camp. The country for miles and miles around had for many days been preparing for the annual trappers’ feast and “snow-dance.” Finally, at a little past six o clock, when all the “guests had arrived, great heaps of timber and dry twigs were placed on the already crackling fire, which, after its generous replenishment, took on added volume and, roaring mightily, lighted up the plains as though it were day. Over the fire, spits were constructed and from them were suspended the quivering bodies of tbe recently killed. The faces of the trappers, their wives and sweethearts, were aglow with the light and the joy of anticipation. To the music of the crackling blazes and the howling of the wolf-dogs, the dance began. At first, only a few joined in; then, as the holiday spirit increased, the throng of dancers grew denser and denser until at last almost everybody was swaying and every voice was raised in honor of the occa-ion. Round and round the fire they whirled and chanted until another day was beginning to dawn. Then came tin grand feast. Man, woman and child partook with ravishing appetite. The sledge-dogs, too, had their share, not without a great deal of snapping and snarling among themselves over their allotted portions. At last, when an unusually large hunk of meat was thrown into their midst, the two most vicious looking and alert dogs, the acknowledged loaders of their respective packs, both with equal greed and determination sprang for the booty. With a growl from both beasts and an exhibition of sharp, glistening fangs, the struggle began.

They grappled with each other as only animals of the wolf-strain can do, and it seemed for some time that neither was to gain the advantage. First Zanthus went down, then “Nee,” and, just as the former started to make the fatal plunge for the other’s neck, the crowd drew a mighty breath, and turned to keep from seeing the body of the under dog stiffen and then relax. But again the crowd caught its breath as the silence was broken by the calm voice of Zanthus’ master, “Why, Zan, boy, have you forgotten my command!’’ But at the same time the words were uttered a dark streak flashed over the snow and Zanthus felt a heavy hand on his back. Before he knew it, he was suspended in mid-air by his collar. With a bound, he sprang to the ground and was again ready to meet his would-be victim. Just as he dashed forward, however, he again felt the restraining weight on his collar. Turning madly, he looked into the tense face of his master and heard his calm, pleading voice. At the same instant, Nee, taking advantage of his antagonist's disadvantage made a plunge for his neck. His teeth sank into the shoulder of Hans Berkeley, Zan's master; for that dog, heedless of commands, pleadings and a restraining hand, had broken his leather collar and had, by a strategic method, glided under the body of Nee, which was still suspended from Han’s shoulder. “Oh, don’t, don’t!” and again a streak flashed over the snow, but this time it was a woman. She sped to Zan, and clasping him fiercely around the body, held him off the other dog. and called to the dumbfounded men, “Some one come, help, quick!” Then followed a stampede. Every one was in a panic, so anxious was he to help, but no one knew what to do until the woman called, “Let there be no excitement, but please, men, lift the dog from the man’s shoulders and keep him separated from the other one.” Her request was carried out, ami then again the girl spoke, “Bring blankets, make a litter, and carry him to the nearest camp.” Before she ceased speaking, a young man with blankets and two long, slender poles appeared. With these, and the aid of several of the older women, they soon improvised a litter and had the injured man carried to a tent about three hundred yards distant. When she had dressed the wound and made the injured man as nearly comfortable as possible, the girl, seeming to realize for the first time that there was no one present besides herself, her patient, and a few strange helpers, turned abruptly to an old man who was standing near. “Oh, father,” she said, “do tell T II E h HO N V 0 Pitgf Ninety-one inn....iiiihimiiiiiiiiiiiihhmii.....mmiiiiii...................................... Volume X 1915 I the others that he seems to be resting now and for them to go home as quietly as possible and not disturb him,—yes, and tell them I'll let them know if the ease becomes serious or if 1 need any of them. Thank them for their interest and willingess to help.” The man slipped noiselessly from the tent, and in a few minutes Jeanne could hear a restless stir and low murmur of voices outside. Finally, when the last soft tread of the dogs' feet had died away and she heard only an occasional clink of chains and the snap of the trapper’s whip in the distance, she raised the flap of the tent and called softly to her father. It was then for the first time that she noticed Zan lying as close as possible to the foot of the cot on which his master was resting. When Hans finally opened his eyes, it was only for a second. He closed them again and went off into a kind of stupor which lasted until late in the day. Jeanne watched carefully over her charge, fearing lest bloodpoisoning should set in, and when, on the following day, he showed no signs of improvement, she, in compliance with a suggestion from her father, urged that the wounded man be taken to her own little cabin about three and a half miles distant. Arrangements were made, and after a slow and tedious journey, they reached her comfortable little home. A bright fire was burning and a warm meal was ready for them, as their neighbors had been informed on the preceding day of their intended arrival. The dog stayed by his master continuously and, like him, watched with adoring eyes every movement of the nurse girl. Everywhere she went, Zan would follow and was disappointed if he was not rewarded by a friendly pat on his head or an encouraging word. He was seldom disappointed, for Jeanne grew to love and trust him more every day. Finally when she felt that Hans could spare her for a little while, she went to attend to a child who had taken suddenly ill. While she was gone, Bam Hartford, the voting man who had been her chief helper in caring for her charge, stepped in, as he often did to see if there was anything he could do for the sick man. Finding Hans asleep, he slipped into an adjoining room, picked up a book, and began to read. He soon laid aside his book, however, for he heard a stir and the voice of Hans murmuring softly in the next room. He arose, walked to the door and started to open it when he was arrested by tin words of the speaker whom he could now hear distinctly: “Zan, I’m nearly well now and we ought not to stay here longer, for she has had the care of us long enough, hasn’t she, old fellow? And if it hadn’t been, why—Lord, how we love her!” he breathed and then was silent, but only for a second: ‘‘How would you like her for a mistress? 1 know you'd like it and maybe she Page Ninety-two T 11 E BRONCO Volume X would. I’ll ask her just the minute 1 see her—if she’ll let me. Oh! why doesn’t she come on? I’m fairly aching to ask her.” In the adjoining room, there was a very different spirit ; for Sam, sinking desperately into a chair, called his dog to him and holding his head between his hands, said, “Oh, Nee, why, why did you do it? Maybe if it had not been for your greediness and temper she would never have learned to love him—but I suppose it's best, for she will be happy with him and I am not fit for her. At any rate, if she is happy, 1 ought to be satisfied even if 1 am not the one who has made her so.” At his words, the dog gave a guilty whine, for he knew that his master was in despair and that he was in some way, tho' he knew not how, responsible. The man stood up, threw back his shoulders, and called sullenly to the dog to come on. They passed out of the house and tramped through the snow, Nee sometimes chasing game, while his master plodded wearily along. Finally, at nightfall they went to their own little home, and there after they had eaten their evening meal, the man began in a dazed, disinterested way, to pile his most treasured belongings into a large light-weight chest. He turned to the dog and said, “It’s all right, Nee, it’s my fault, I forgive you. We’ll leave tomorrow, join another company and soon forget her, won't we? The dog, alert, and ready to “make up’ at the least advance on the part of his master, bounded joyously to his side and after a few strokes as a reassurance of the good will still existing between them, he was perfectly content to take his accustomed post on the door mat and was soon asleep. Finally, Ham too found relief in sleep. As he slept late on the following morning, he decided that he would postpone his trip for one day that he might get an early start; besides he wanted time to map out his journey. Jeanne had returned to her home so late on the night before that Ilans, impatient from waiting so long, had failed to keep his vow to Zan, but was determined to see her as early as possible the next day and lay his plans before her. While “the nurse,” as she was now familiarly called, and her father were at their noonday meal, the name of Hans was mentioned and she exclaimed, “Oh! father, isn’t he noble and good? I have seen only a few men whom I think I could admire more.” With a start, the man replied, “Yes, I too admire him.” There was silence for some minutes. Then the old man again spoke, “I believe he thinks a heap of you, too, honey, for he speaks to me every day of how grateful he is, that he fears he can never repay us--------------------------------------------------------------” At this point, in walked Sam and the speaker continued, “Why, hello! Sam ; come in—why, what’s the matter, are you ill?” “Oh, nothing,” Sam replied with a hoarse laugh, “Nee and I were just up later than usual last night getting ready for our trip.” Vnlumr X THE H H 0 N V 0 INinety-thm IIIIIMIMIIIMItllMIMlinilMMtIlllltnillllllllllllMIIIMIHMIlllllllllllllUIIIIMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIItllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIMIIIIMIMinilllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIlluu ' b or your trip! exclaimed Jeanne and her father at the same instant. “Yes, we leave tomorrow.” “Pray where are you going?” “Oh, just on a little pleasure trip,” he said carelessly. “You decided rather suddenly, didn’t you?” “Well, no, not exactly. I ve been anticipating it for some time. You see, I got a letter.” To Jeanne his words were a startling reality, but her father, who understood human nature better than she, knew from Sam’s tone and expression on his face that what lie said was not true. The girl, after a moment's hesitation spoke, “Oh, let me pack your lunch box and if there’s anything that father or I can do. let me know.” Thanking her, Sam left the room and was soon followed by the other man They went to the former’s cabin and there had a long chat. Before the old father left, the young man felt that a great weight had been lifted from his chest and promised to postpone his journey for another day. At last, Jeanne went back to her patient whom she had forgotten for the time. Finding him awake, she said, “You'll have to excuse me for keeping you waiting for so long.” “Oh, that’s alright, if you'll promise not to do it again, but I have a piece of news for you; it s this: Zan and I have decided that you would make a very dear mistress for you have been such a kind and gentle nurse. I have a little home east—,” Jeanne clutched nervously at the table by which she was standing, and the man unheeding went on, “I will go there in a few days, just as soon as my nurse will consent, for there, in that little home, I have the dearest little wife in the world. I promised her that if I had not made a fortune when I had been here a month, I would return. You know the rest, I'll leave the dog with you—if you want him.” Jeanne heaved a sigh of relief for she loved Sam Hartford and felt sure that her love was returned. —Mary Musgrove Council of the Fairies At midnight through the little dell, A silvery peal rang out, “Come, let us hasten to the throne,” Said one of the Fairy Queen’s scouts. lllllltlllllMllltllllllllllMIIIIIMMIIIIIIItlllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIItlllMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIItlllllllllltlllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIItIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIlllllilliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllll A7 1 ty-f i r ' ■; BRONCO I 'uht H .V lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilliiiilllllllllllllllllllllllllllMlllllllltlMIIMIIMMIIMIMUIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIMIIMIMIIilllllllllMUIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIMIIIIMMIIIMIIMUMUIIIIIIUItlUUIUIIIIUIIHiniH And then through the air, on the wings of the wind, A fairy host was seen, Hastening to answer the summon Sent out by the Fairy Queen.

He handed the plug to Jack and with a look of disdain at his two companions rammed both hands deep into his trousers pockets and chewed vigorously for a few seconds, watching his cork closely, squinted one eye, cocked his head and spat with gusto and with unerring accuracy on the holding cork of his fishing line. “That’ll give you luck,” he explained as he turned to his friends that they might see him masticate the weed of which he had partaken so generously, in the approved manner. The three lads were on a week-end fishing trip to Jack’s father’s farm, which was about four miles from town. It was about dusk when the above scene was enacted in the boy’s camp on the bank of the stream where they had chosen a spot for their camp. Frank was busy building a lire of the approved boy scout type. After the fire had begun to burn well, the three boys gathered around and sat upon chunks of wood and logs, which they had gathered as reserve fuel. “What you reckon I’rof. Jackson would say if he could see us now?” asked Jack. “Don’t know, but bet Miss Walker would push the ‘down’ button on the conduct elevator until she reached department ‘I),’ said Squably, and as if to impress it upon the minds of his hearers more plainly he gravely and deliberately spat into the fire. Jack and Frank now busied themselves in arranging the “eats” that Jack’s mother had prepared for them. “Dinner is served,” said Frank, in mock imitation of the butler he had seen in the “Million Dollar Mystery.” Don’t believe I’m hungry right now,” said Squably, and spat with less vigor at the fire but fell short.

Frank and Jack exchanged knowing glances as they started for the edge of the stream to wash their faces and hands before eating. Squably sat in silent contemplation of the fire, his jaws working ever so slightly now and then. Ilis behavior was very, very meek indeed when compared with his actions of a few minutes before. In fact, lie seemed to be experiencing some little trouble in spitting over his chin. A close observer might also have noticed that he was very white for a lad of his complexion. “Believe I’ll go see if I’ve got anything,” he said as he arose with no little exertion and started in a vague line to the place where he had left his hook and line set. Squably once out of sight of his companions rid himself of his chew. He stooped to get a mouthful of water to rinse out his mouth but on account of the high rate of speed at which the creek was revolving—so it seemed to Squably—he slipped, grabbed, caught an armful of space, and tumbled in head first. The other lads hearing him scrambling out ran to the spot and were met with a yarn of how, when Squably got to the creek his pole was just disappearing in the edge of the water. He grabbed the pole anti pulled with all his might to no avail, the fish dragging him into the creek and making off with hook, line, pole and all. The boys went back to the camp and Squably sat in Indian style, wrapped in a blanket, while his clothes dried by the fire. That night after several hours of misery, expecting every breath to be his last, before he took up his harp and spread his wings, Squably fell asleep and dreamed that an enormous sized plug of black tobacco with long skinny legs, a stove-pipe hat on, planted his large boots that had tacks in them, on his chin and then he began playing the flute. Ten thousand little chews of tobacco, each wearing heavy boots with tacks in them that protruded from the sole of the boot about one-fourth of an inch, danced in glee on his chest and everywhere a tack stuck him, instead of blood oozing out, he was horrified to find that it was tobacco juice. All this time a steam street roller, which he seemed to have swallowed in the chew of tobacco, rolled away industriously up and down inside of him. lie never chewed again —Mary Penry. ‘ngt Xnifty eren Volvmt X T II K It K ) X V O I 1914 I Result of a Pupil's Resolution We were crowded in the school room, Not a soul would dare to speak, ’Twas four-thirty by the hall clock, And 'twas midnight, so to speak.

Hospitality? 1915 I Once 1 Iih 1 an occasion to ride horseback from a town in North Jcxas to a town in tin northern part of Kansas. It is well known that there are large tracts in the territory of our northern neighbor that have proved very ungrateful to the labors of the husbandman. These districts are, in consequence, but sparsely settled and ill-provided with the necessaries of life. On the third day of my journey I had ridden about twenty miles through one of these tracts—a dry pine barren—without having caught the tirst glimpse of a human habitation. I was faint with hunger and thirst; so was my horse, who stretched out his neck and moaned piteously at each new and apparently illimitable prospect of the hot sandy road opened before us. There was no help for it, however; so we jogged on painfully—both of us keeping a sharp lookout ahead. You cannot fancy my delight when, on turning a bend, I saw before me a large and substantial log house with a pine mast stuck up before the door, and a broad swinging sign, upon which was legible, in bold characters, the word “HOTEL” I rubbed my eyes and then shaded them with my hand to make sure it was not the mirage, which frequently makes its appearance upon these sandy plains. But no, it was a house; and, better still, a hotel. I straightened myself in the saddle. My horse whined and stepped out cheerily. “Come,” said 1. “patting him on the neck, “we re through it at last, old fellow; you'll soon be up to your ears in the best of Kansas corn, and I— Here the anticipated enjoyment of ham and eggs, fried chicken, strong coffee, hot biscuits and waffles deprived me of the power of speech, and 1 rode up to the hotel in silence. As I got nearer the house, it began to look weatherbeaten and desolate-like, and I was growing fearful that it might be uninhabited; but no—there sat the landlord on the porch, and his two sons. “It’s all right,” thought I; so I rode up and drew bridle in front of the door. So far, the three individuals whom 1 had observed on the porch—three sallow, dry looking chaps, in their shirt sleeves—had not moved an inch. I am not certain that they ever changed the direction of their eyes. A couple of gaunt, yellow dogs that lay on the stoop, remained equally motionless. “Come,” thought I; “this is cool for people who keep a house of entertainment. They ought to know from the direction I have come that I must be both Volvme X THE HEOXen 1‘nye Ninety-Hint hungry and tired, and am likely to put up for the night. They might offer to take one’s horse, I should think.” But no one stirred. I began to suspect that after all, the house might not be a tavern, as I had at first supposed; and I again looked up at the sign. Enough—the word “Hotel” was there in large letters. “May I stop here for the nightf” I inquired at length. I waited for an answer, but none came. 1 repeated the question in a louder and more imperious tone. “You kin if yer like, streng-er,” replied the oldest of the three, without moving a muscle except those of his mouth. “Have you got any corn?” I inquired, intending to make sure of something for my horse before alighting, as the house, upon a nearer inspection, looked naked and empty. “Got any corn?” echoed the same speaker as before. “Yes,” said I, “Corn.” “No, we hain’t got any,” was the reply. “Well, have you got any fodder, then?” “Got any fodder?” “Yes, fodder.” “No, we hain’t got any.” “This is bad,” thought I, “my poor horse—I shall have to turn him loose, and I might as well tie him up for that matter.” I continued to soliloquize, as, on looking around I could not see a blade of grass within the circuit of a mile! “I had best hitch him to the post, take a hurried snack myself, and then ride on to the next house; but first let me see what they can give me to eat.” All the time I was occupied with these reflections the three men remained silent and mo'ionless, except when one or the other of them would bring his hand dowm with a smart slap over his cheek, or along his thigh, or behind his ear, as though one and all of them were afflicted with the malady of St. Vitus. I was at first startled by these demonstrations; but upon further observation, I perceived that my saturnine friends were only killing mosquitoes! “Have you got any ham and eggs?” I asked after the pause. “Got any ham and eggs?” echoed the original speaker with an emphasis that clearly betokened surprise. “Yes—ham and eggs,” repeated I. “No—we hain’t got any.” “A pity; I am fond of ham and eggs. Have you got any chickens then?” “Chickens?” “Yes,” said I. “chickens.” “No, we hain’t got any chickens—nary chicken. ’ llllllllllllimilllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIItlltlltlllllllUltlllllllllllMIIIIMIIIIMIMIIIItllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIMMIIMMMIIMIIItllllllllMllllimilllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM Page One Hundred T II K If It 0 N C 0 Volume X tllllll«lllltlllllltlittllllllllllllllllltltlllMllllllllllltlllllltlllltllllltlllllllllMllllllllllllllltttltUlltlllllllllllltlllltllllllllllllllllllllllltllltlltllllllllllllllltlllllllllMlllltllllHlllllllllllllltllllllllll||||||||||||| 1814 “Well, have you ot any meat?” “Got any meat?” “Yes—any sort of meat—beef, pork, mutton or veal; I’m not particular— I’m hungry.” “No, we hain’t got any.” “Have you got any bread then?” “Any bread?” “Yes, bread—a piece of bread and a glass of water. That to a hungry man is a banquet.” “No, we hain’t got no bread.” “Well, my friend, have you got anything to eat of any kind?” “Anything to eat of any kind?” “Yes, anything. I’m as hungry as a wolf.” “No, we hain’t got nothing to eat of any kind—nary a thing.” “If you can give my horse some water, I'll ride on.” “We hain’t got none dr a wed, strenger; but the crick ain’t more’n a kupple o’ miles ahead—ye kin git water thar. “Good gracious!” I ejaculated involuntarily; “no meat, no bread, no corn, no water, no anything! Look here, old fellow, will you tell we how in the thunder you do here anyhow?” Not at all put out by the question, the old chap looked up sidewise and replied, “Very well, I thank ye, streng-er; how do yer deo yerself?” “I gave a violent wrench at the bridle, which brought my horse around like a pivot; and digging the spurs into his sides, 1 headed him at the road. But the poor beast did not need any driving; for whether he had been satisfied by his own inspection of the place, or whether he had understood the conversation, he broke into a sort of despairing gallop, and did not stop until we had reached the top of a long hill. Here I had the curiosity to turn around in the saddle and look back; and, to ray astonishment, the three men were still seated just as I had left them, and I really believe that they art sitting there to this day. —S. W. Volume X the n a oxen Page (hie Hundred-one 1815 I Phantoms One evening, while in my room studying, I became aware of someone’s presence. I looked about me, and saw lurking in a dark corner of the room several white objects; but on looking closely, 1 saw nothing. The next evening the same strange proceeding took place, and I determined to know who, or what, was in my room. I examined the white forms carefully, and at last decided that they were four ghosts. One evening, a few days later, just before the mid-term exams, I saw the four phantoms steal out of their corner, and noiselessly glide about my chair. Each carried a different weapon. The largest, and most frightful, carried an Algebra; the second, an English; the third, a History; and the fourth carried a large note-book, that I at once recognized as a Domestic Science Cooking note-book. They slowly encircled me and began battle, which I vigorously returned. I saw that I was gradually winning over the smaller three, but the first was strong and stubborn. In a few minutes, the three had vanished, but the first seemed certain of conquering. It hurled exponents and co efficients so hard and fast that 1 barely escaped by holding up my faithful shield—the answer book. It then began to throw the different eases at me, but as I was familiar with them, I knew how to escape. 1 saw that I must return the phantom’s own weapons if I expected to win, so I caught up a huge quadratic equation, and hurled it with such violence at the creature’s head, that I put out one of its eyes. This was very encouraging to me, because I knew that it coidd not see to aim so well as before. I then planned to make the creature totally blind, so I took a piece of a broken proportion lying near and hit the monster in its other eye. Now it was very difficult for the ghost to hit me at all, and I decided to kill it outright. It seemed to think that I would do this, and made every effort to save its life. However, I soon saw my chance and, catching up a sharp-pointed ratio, I struck the monster in the heart several times. It staggered and fell and in a few seconds was quite dead. I dropped into my chair almost exhausted, for I had been through a terrible battle. But one thing gave me encouragement—I had won. —Emorene Jennings.

Mrs. Polly Simpson lived in a large two-story house far out in the country. All around her house grew a thicket which made the place look very weird, and many people believed Mrs. Simpson herself to be a witch. Her husband had died many years before; so she lived all alone, her dog and cow being her only companions. She was a tall, angular woman with red hair and small, keen, gray eyes. She paid no attention to fashions in dress, but wore dresses that were in style when she was a girl. Mrs. Simpson really had no use for many clothes, for she never went anywhere except to the country store where she tried to buy the most goods for the least money. Few people ever went to see Mrs. Simpson. This accounted for the weeds that grew in the path that led to her house. Mrs. Mary Moten, who, ever since she was a little girl, had known Mrs. Simpson, visited her occasionally. On one of her visits Mrs. Moten found her in bed as usual, for she always went to bed at four o’clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Simpson announced that she was going to die because she had been given the sign that very day. Now she had an old stove that was nearly worn out and would not bake anything well. She also had a big open fireplace and the wind roared into it, making a great noise. Mrs. Simpson said, “Mary, what do you believe, I put a pan of biscuit in the stove this morning and there was one that would not brown. Then I heard a big noise and an awful roaring in the chimney and, Mary, she said in a hoarse whisper, “it was the devil. lie had come after me and I know it won’t be long until 1 will die. And, Mary, when 1 die I want a saddle and bridle put on my grave, for I’m coming right back here and r.de that good-for-nothing nephew of mine, dim Russell.’’ Mrs. Moten tried to calm Mrs. Simpson, but it was of no use for she was certain that she was going to die. When her poor nephew, Jim Russell, heard that he was to be ridden by his aunt after her death, he was really frightened for he had never known his Aunt Polly to undertake anything that she did not carry out.

Dear Pa and Ma : I got here 0 K. I came on the M. K. and T. railroad train. I had all kinds of trouble finding the high school as you can see when you read this letter. I caught a big thing called a street ear; my, but it was fine riding! 1 rode to a place called the “Jew Store” and as I got off the car the conductor of it said it would take five cents for the little ride 1 had, but I banded him a nickle and he took it all right. I then walked up the street called Hickory and when it seemed as if 1 had walked for an hour I came in sight of a large building I thought sure I had found the High School, hut when I started to walk inside of the main building 1 saw the sign: “North Texas State Normal.” 1 turned away broken hearted and walked hack to town. When I got to town 1 inquired of a man the way to the High School. He told me to take a certain street car and get off at a street called Denton. As I got off the ear I handed the conductod a dime because I had ridden farther this time than before, hut much to my surprise he returned a nickel. I walked up the so-called Denton street a little way and came to an arch which said High School. The grounds are large and has three buildings and a big stove pipe—the hoys tell me that the stove pipe has water in it, hut I don’t believe it. 1 then went to the superintendent's office. The superintendent s name is Mr. Beaty. He is tall as pa and, my, he looks fierce. 1 am sure going to he good in school. He spoke to me in a base voice and asked me my name and what class. I told him my name and 1 also told him 1 wanted to go in the “Dignified Freshman class.” That’s where he put me and 1 know what x, y and z is in albegra, and everything else anybody else doesn t know. Tell my gal and all the hoys hello and say. pa, send me some “money. Lovingly, DUTIFUL WILLIAM.

Harvy Corv—“All boys under sixteen years of age.’’ Miss Braden—What is the matter, Johanna, that you can't speak louder? Be more enthusiastic; open your mouth and throw yourself into it. Mr. Yarbrough—“What makes you think Ceasar was so strong, Jane?” Jane M.—“Why, the book says he pitched his camp across the river.” Pauline Stiff (relating the ceremony of knighting)—“The king said. ‘Arise, Sir Knight,'and punched him with his fist!” Mr. Jackson (to Sam Malone, who is ambling along on ‘Gun Powder’) —“Say, Sam, are you going to get a new horse?” Sam—“Naw, why?” Prof.—“Well, I see you’ve gotten the frame work up. Mr. Mizell—“Now this mirror is metal and will not break. Here, Travis, look at it and see.” R. E. J.—“I do admire a cheerful liar.” A. C. B.—“You egotist!” From an “exam” paper in American history: “General Braddock was a brave man. He had three horses shot from under him and a four Hi went through his clothes.” Mr. Jackson—“You bovs should take out an accident policy.” Raymond Garvin—“Why, Prof?” Prof.—“Why. some day a thought might strike you.” Prof, had just been telling about seeing people get hanged. George Lacy—“Say. Prof., don't they take the rope off three weeks before they bury them?” Prof.—“Sure. Why?” George—“Well, I was just thinking they would be pretty looking things walking into judgment with a rope ‘round their necks.” Homer—“Miss Malone, please read the first sentence.” Miss Malone—“I enjoy sitting in the dark.” Class giggle—Elbert and Oran, Hee-Haw. Miss Malone (blushing)—“Oh, that isn't original with me.” Mr. Jackson (in perfect consternation)—“Why, it's all over school?” Bennett W.—“What, Prof?” Mr. J.—“Why, the roof.” The Editor’s Reward. St. Peter— So!

Repairs First The schoolmaster wanted to know whether the boys had an understanding of the functions of an American consul. “Supposing, he began, framing his question in the likeliest way to arouse the interest of his hearers, “supposing some one took you up in an aeroplane, and after a long, exciting flight, dropped you down thousands of miles from home in a country quite foreign, what place would you seek out first of all? An eager hand was instantly uplifted. “Well, Willie, what do you say?” “Please, sir, the hospital. Advertisements COMING SOON! Sir Walter Scott Leverett, THE WORLD'S GREATEST BASS SINGER.

It's the people in the front that I jar. We had a good teacher so fat That he'd fill the whole chair when he sat. He would laugh at his jokes When he taught History folks; But would jump when he spied a small rat. 1 stole a kiss the other night, My conscience hurts—Oh hack! I think I'll go again tonight And give the 1—n thing back. Miss Underwood is my teacher She squelcheth me always. She maketh me to sit as still as a mouse, She giveth me many demerits. For she is my teacher. She leadeth me through the fields of x, y, and z; She prepareth fatal exams in evolution. Surely quadratic equations shall follow me All the d ivs of my life, and I shall live In the fear thereof forever. There was a pretty little miss of this city Who considered herself very witty; But she depended on crams, And flunked on exams. And had to go home; what a pity! A teacher there was who could tell A story amazingly well, We'd laugh at his joke Whenever he spoke, And then to all lesons farewell! But alas! for us all one day When we were exceedingly gay, He turned to the book; With fear we all shook, And that was the end of our play. The Senior was born for great things, The Junior was born for small; But no one has yet learned the reason Why the Freshman was born at all. He’s mean and lie’s lazy, His thoughts they are hazy, Work, he knows not the meaning of that! But he smiles like a daisy And the girls, they are crazy About him, e’en tho’ he is F-A-T.
