To know, to esteem, to love—and then to part Makes up life's tale to many a feeling heart. =—S representative of many classe that have graduated from the Easton Public Schools, we meet to give our last valedictory VgfJ H to our beloved Superintendent. I or half a century of years and more did he on each succeeding graduation day listen to the farewells of those who were about to go forth from hi kindly presence. Life and its labors, its struggles and con- flicts. its hopes and despair called u from the class room and we went out strengthened and cheered by the love and kindliness of him who had taken us as faltering children, hesitating at the very threshold of the school-room, and patiently guided our footsteps over the pathway flat he himself had so well laid. We turned from the school-room and away from his kindly authority, we met him infrequently, many of us, but the passing years have brought him many gift of honor and appreciation. Then, but a few hours ago, came the whispered message that the well-known superintendent of our childhood, the highly- esteemed and beloved counselor of our later years had been summoned from A it class-room and had graduated into a grander nobler life. By his upright Christian character, his kindliness and patience and love, he inspired thousand of hi pupil . Firm and persistent in his resolution to work the greatest good for the schools which were his love and pride, he won honors and gained flattering recog- nition from many sources. And yet his richest reward for nobly accomplished tasks is the lasting affection and love that live , undying, in the hearts of the toys and girl , the men and women wltosc progress through our schools he so ably supervises) for many years. He gave his whole life to the service he loved, and. impressed with the worthiness of the cause, recognizing the importance of the office, sought always «0 attain the greatest efficiency. It i hard to realize that he has been called from us. But the bells are silent, the school deserted and at half-mast cling listlessly the flag. The state, the city, the individual mourn their loss. And while we pause to consider what Dr. Cottingham’ death means to l, —I ' former pupils and associates—wc have also In mind those dear one of his family whose hearts arc heavy with grief. To them, we extend the heartfelt sympathy of the Alumni Association of the Easton High School in their present deep affliction. Dr. W. W. Cottingham: kind friend, patient, ecumclor, upright. Christian gentleman, we hid thee farewell! JO Alumni Association THE Alumni Association was organised in 1903. It has for its chief purpose the advancement of the interests of the graduates and undergraduates of the High School. The Association awards each year a scholarship to Lafayette College to a member of the graduating class. It endeavors through social features to keep the graduates in contact with each other. The following are the officers for 1913-14: Frank W. Simpson. ’03. President Elizabeth I'. Rkh� , 'io. Hirst Vick Pmbidknt Mosks Siikrkr. 11. Skcond Vick Prksidknt Mii.ton Mosks. ’12.

After Commencement is o’er, we will ret uni no more to the old “ Penn” building with its manifold associations and interests. Our object is to further our ambitions in a broader field. For many of us will cuter higher institutions of learning and pursue those studies which they think arc best fitted for them: on the other hand, others will cast themselves directly into the strong tide of life, and endeavor to keep themselves on the top, continually struggling for mastery.

The practice of holding Class Dances was attempted and we arc proud to say that we acquitted ourselves fairly well in Senior Class History.—(Continued.) this line which is usually a failure. Several of our Class were fortunate enough to secure positions on the various athletic teams and brought credit to 1913. In the latter part of the Sophomore term our Class President, Raymond Kenyon, fulfilled a beautiful custom by presenting to the School, a bust of our Nation’s first Kxccutive. The year seemed to pass quickly and soon it was over, whence after a two months’ respite we prepared ourselves for another year’s tussle. Almost immediately upon our return, the annual Junior Class meeting occupied our minds. Fortunately this was held without any interference from the Seniors and was a huge success. The year passed quickly and soon we were making our first attempt at a delivery from the platform, an event which causes the hearts of all Juniors to quail within them. On a beautiful sunshiny day in Spring, known as Arbor Day, the Class made its first public appearance and presented a fine program. With the exception of a few dances now and then, nothing occurred of sufficient importance to make history, and soon we came to the full realization that we were Seniors. Directly at the beginning of our final term, the male members of the Class, under the able leadership of President Kctchlcdgc and advised by the more experienced members of the faculty, were led to abolish the usual trouble making attempt of the Seniors to prevent the Juniors from holding their Class Meeting. Almost before we were aware of it Christmas had arrived and our speakers seemed to be permeated with sarcastic remarks. One of the most important features of our whole career was our Bazaar which despite unfavorable circumstances proved to be the most successful ever held by any class. Truly, something to be proud of. Then again on 113th Day, the speakers selected for the occasion rendered a pleasing and humorous presentation. Thus, gentle reader, we have spent our four years in High School, and we hope that our record while not remarkable may at least be not passed by unnoticed.

Junior Class History Wc for the year to conic dull take Our temper from to-day. Wordsworth. 1 UK days of this the third year of the Class of 1914 will soon merge into the past and we shall find ourselves launched upon the mast important stage in our career, that much coveted position as Seniors of dear old Kaston High School shall be ours. Yet ere we go let us pause and, looking backward o'er the fast departing years, let us see what we have accomplished, what we have done to prepare the way for this eventful step. Towards the end of our Sophomore year we elected the following as officers for our Junior term: President, Raymond Ferris; Vice President, I tura Blackburn ; Secretary, Florence King ; and Treasurer, Harold Pcifer. These officers have worked faithfully for the good of the Class and much of the credit for our present success is due to their untiring efforts in our behalf, to the excellent manner in which they filled their positions and con- ducted all necessary business. Departing from the regular custom of holding the first Junior Class Meeting in some public hall, we tries! the novel idea of holding our first meeting at the private home of one of our members. Accordingly, on the evening of September 16, almost the entire Class was gathered at the home of Miss Davison on College Hill, where after a short business session re- freshments were served and music and pleasant games indulged in. The tS Junior Class History—(Continued) plan adopted for this meeting was pronounced a decided success by all who participated and we feel confident that in this we have established a precedent worthy the careful consideration of all future classes of E. H. S. At this meeting the Class colors, yellow and white, were selected and the white rose was chosen as the class flower. A little later on in the season a neat and artistic ring was decided upon and handsome pennants, made with the Class colore, were purchased. During the three years of our existence as a class we have been loyal supporters of the red and white, contributing liberally to the Bazaar, the Junto and the Athletic Association ; being represented in football and track by Clause, in baseball by Kreider and Wolbach and in the girls' basketball team by Misses Blackburn, Komig and Eichlin. In the musical organizations of the school we have long been interested through the Messrs. Kline, Ricgle Thiedc and Brasso. And uow since we arc not permitted in this brief article to record events of the future, but only those of the past, much of interest and importance must needs remain unwritten. But suffice it to say that the Class and speakers for Arbor Day arc earnestly striving to bring their program up to, and even excel the high standard of efficiency achieved in former years by other classes and that a program of striking originality promises to be the result. Thus it is that we close these annals with a feeling of mingled pleasure and regret and leave these portals to return as Seniors of dear old Easton High. Historian. Junior Class PRESIDENT ....

Scientific History of the Sophomore Class BO YOU, classmates, realize that the stage has again rolled by in its second round of this Easton High School arena? Do you know that we will soon again mount it, this time, for the third lap as dignified Juniors? It is natural that we pause at this time and reflect, What has happened during these past two years? What have we accomplished for the school we are so justly proud of? It is sufficient to say that our best efforts have been put forth to uphold and to raise the standard of our Alina Mater. As Sophomores we elected for the first time the following Class Officers: President, Willis Rutidle; Vice President. Katharine From the very beginning our class was a hearty supporter of Athletics. It is customary for every class to contribute men to the various teams, but we can especially feel proud of our Athletes. On the gridiron Brunner. McCarthy. Cole, and Kuiullc have won fame for themselves and for the School. It was largely due to their ng that the team suffered but one defeat, y in football did the Class manifest its superiority but other sports as well. For the basketball team we .Ibus and Brunner and for the girls' basketball team, Rebert; Secretary, Dorothy White, and Treasurer, Earnest Arm- strong. Not only the Class of 1915, but the School as well will admit that our leaders performed their duties very well. Miss Magee and Miss Ruth Richards. History of the Sophomore Class.—(Continued.) On the baseball team we were represented by Albus, Brunner and McCarthy, and on the track team by Cole and Cohen. Nor does the Class lack musical talent. The Glee Club was well supplied with members of 1915. and Cole was an excellent acquisition to the Quartet. In the Orchestra were Freeman, Cheeseinan. Gradwohl and Kuhn, while in the Mandolin Club, Chccscman, Freeman, Miller and Armstrong rendered their respective parts in a creditable manner. Such is the brief summary of our accomplishments which we may review with much pleasure and satisfaction. We have still two short years to spend within the portals of dear old Easton High and it shall certainly be our aim to achieve a still higher standard of scholarship and greater prestige in every characteristic than has heretofore been recorded in the annals of our School.

CLASS OF 1915. 3 CLASS OF 1915. Freshman Class History HE other day I was turning over the pages of a book. Every page represented a year and one year was bound in vivid green. At the top of the page was written in large letters, Freshman Class, E. II. S.. 1916. This is what I read : One sunny day in September, 1912, the assembly room of Easton High School was crowded with boys and girls. There were grave Seniors, stately Juniors, gay young Sophomores, and last, but not least, by any means, anxious Freshmen. Many Septembers has this happened, but that particular one was a red letter day for us. It marked the realization of our hopes and ambitions—to become students of the High School. We entered with a desire to make good. That desire we fulfilled. Things were strange at first but we soon fell into the usual routine. We grew interested iu our school work and soon became enthusiastic. Four debating clubs were organized and we started work in earnest. Though often crushed by our mortal foes -the Sophomores—we bobbed up again, smiliug as serenely as ever. Iu both musical and athletic organizations we are strongly represented--a fact of which we are justly delighted. At the bazaar we contributed largely and, throughout our first year, to use an old saying, ‘ we have done ourselves proud.’ Then one grand day, our hopes and expectations will be realized when we emerge triumphantly from the trying ordeal of exams . and High School shall lie proud of us. Thus endeth the record of the Freshman Year of Easton High School, 1916.” With a sigh, I closed the book. And this was our Freshman Year. S7 Historian. V -----e---I-I-—— Freshman Class Anna E.

Not only in a financial way was it superior to others, but also in many other ways. The booths were if possible more attractive, the “shows and vaudeville of every kind more interesting and laughable, the things to be bought more numerous, and last but by no means least, the crowd was greater and more enthusiastic. There was one invocation in particular that ought to be highly commended, that is the reception committee. It undoubtedly helped the guests to enjoy themselves more and it took away a great deal of the commercial element by adding a social one. The manager proved.most efficient and the committees worked with a will to make our Bazaar “le grand succcs” in the annals of the school. 4« Bazaar Committees Manager, Oscar Ketch tedge Fancy WotK—Miu Rauch, ’13.

Raymond Kenyon Secretary. Elvin Barr Faculty Treasurer. Prof. Chas. Royer HE High School Musical organizations this year combined and formed a very successful club called the Musicians' Club. As in other years they responded to encore after encore, at the various school occasions and the quality of their music cannot (?) be doubted. The Girls' Double Octette went out of existence but the remaining four, viz., the Mandolin Club, Orchestra, Quartette and the Boys' Glee Club by re- doubling their efforts more than made up for the loss. The Mandolin Club is better than ever. Under the leadership of “Spikes'' Kenyon and the assistance of Mr. Bcadcll some difficult pieces were mastered and superior quality was obtained. The Manager was on his job for once and secured several out-of-town dates, giving concerts at Frcemansburg, Nazareth, Belviderc and Washington. The Orchestra, with Mr. Thicdc's valuable aid and persistency finally awoke to the fact that they could do better and at last reached their goal, rendering the latest and best at all school functions. The Glee Club seemed to have lapsed into a semi-conscious state and not much is heard of them, although the Quartette is always in evidence whenever an occasion demands. Too much credit cannot be given to Prof. Royer for his golden instructions. At the time the clubs were combined another club was formed called the Goblins consisting of most of the fellows interested in the success of the musical organization. President. Edward P. J.

While we do not presume to say that the record achieved by the Debating Clubs of the Class of 1916. for ora- torical brilliancy, greatly surpasses that of the clubs of former years, yet, so far as the loyalty of its members is con- cerned. we venture the assertion that no other Class has proved more faithful and reliable. The members are always ready at the call of their leader to respond with the required material, or to cheer their teams on to victory with all the enthusiasm at their command. By means of these debates, the students, in general, gain a practical knowledge of the subjects discussed, which they would not acquire in any other way during their school term. This is not only true as regards the boys who will, of course, be vastly benclittcd. no difference what profession they may adopt or business venture they may engage in, but, the girls will also reap valuable information which will be of great advantage and service to them when the time arrives, as suffragists, to occupy positions of honor and trust. While the success we have thus far attained must be chiefly attributed to the energy and untiring perseverance of the class, yet, in this connection, we are not unmindful of the fact that we have been greatly stimulated in our work by the generous support of our upper classmen: who have given the young aspirants for oratorical honors much en- couragement by the interest they have shown. There has always been a good representation of those worthy supe- riors. who were never found unwilling to act as judges and offer suggestions. They materially aided us in various ways in order to develop the best that was in us. Throughout the year the Clubs have held many public debates, not only in the High School, but in various Gram- mar Schools, where they were cordially entertained by the pupils. In conclusion, we arc proud to say that it seems to 1« the general opinion that the Debating Clubs of the Class of 1916 arc a great success and the members sincerely hope a diversion from the usual routine of brain racking studies, but, also as a test or barometer by which the that the future Clubs may prove even more so than those of the present and the past.

H. S. football team to have. But even this does not show how well the 1912 team succeeded. It only points out that all the games, with a single exception were victorious and that the one defeat was a result of overwork. Of the long, grinding practices, the gruclsomc struggles in the games, the bitterness of that one lost battle, and the sweetness of the well earned victories, only the fellows themselves can tell. Cold figures only summarize the long and interesting details. At manager Rafferty's call for candidates about forty men responded. Eivc of these, all backfield men. had played on last year’s team and some of the others were invaluable on last year’s second team. The material was light but every practice revealed that speed would greatly overbalance this deficiency. Everyone looked forward to a great victory over P’Burg, but sad to relate our team started out in such a “clean up” way that the boys from over the river would not agree to a date in season. So the great game of the season was played on March Field. Nov. 16th. with Reading. It proved to be one of the most wonderful games in years and the Red and White blotted out the one defeat at Reading by a well earned victory. The only defeat was suffered at the hands of the heavy I ancaster eleven on a cold dreary day after a whole morning's journey. The climax and surprise of the great season was the victory over the Norristown High team on Thanksgiving morning. Whatever we may say of the glorious success of our football season, we must always remember that it was Coach Reilly who made it all possible. Manager : Jacob Rappkrty JTATISTIC5 Name O.

By graduation we lost Troxcll. Vincent. S. Johnson, R. Johnson, practically the whole of last year’s team. However with Capt. Kenyon. March and Freeman as a nucleus a characteristic High School team was whipped into shape. The team suffered throughout the season no little inconvenience in the lack of any regular coach. From the new material. Rockafcllow. I-ciningcr. Martin, and Brunner showed themselves of true High School caliber. What they lacked in experience they made up in fighting spirit. Thanks to Mgr. Chidscy’s unceasing efforts; our schedule was by far the largest and best which has ever been played by our High Scliool team. Of the tweirty-one games played we won eleven. This seems to be a pretty poor showing, but a glance at the schedule will easily show that those teams which defeated us were first-class ones and that almost every team which did defeat us on their floor was in turn badly l eatcn by us on our home floor. As for stars it may be said that each man was a star in his own line but it was essentially team work which won our games. E's” were awarded to each of the following: Capt. Kenyon. Rockafcllow, Freeman, Lcininger, Martin, March, Brunner and Mgr. Chidscy. Brunner, ’15 was chosen to captain next year’s team. Here’s to success in 1913-14. 69 Baseball Frank Martin...

Among the unusually large number of candidates that reported only three were found to be members of 1912’s team, these were Martin. Ray Leiningcr. and Kreider. It was a difficult task for Captain Martin to choose a competent team out of so much green material, to play the games arranged by Manager Kent, but nevertheless an efficient representative body is getting into shape. Our first game was cancelled on account of rain and the weather seemed to be against us in the second, but played the following day defeating Easton Academy; things looked discouraging after the next two games with Pioneer and Bethlehem Prep, but in both we were only beaten by a small margin, had it not been for the excellent work of Kreider in the latter, we would have met with a worse defeat. The game with Churchman’s was hard contested but the sun shone again for Easton High, then again we have a cloud spoiling our glories when we were defeated by Pottsvillc High. Now the storm has passed and we return to victory by winning our next two games with Jones' Business School and Allentown High respectively. The season so far has left us ahead in the number of points: E. H.

Denson, 'to 76 Track Resume T THE call for candidates, though a goodly number responded, the prospect for a successful track team was doubtful. Only four of last season's team remained—Hit linger. Yeglc. Cole and Cohen, but with them as a nucleus a good team was built up. Through the efforts of Bob” Ellis, one of Lafayette's best track men, our team was kneaded and moulded into shape to battle for the meets arranged by Manager Barr. Our first meet—Reading High, at Reading—was lost 79 to 29. We took most of the field events, but Reading outstripped us in the distances. The meet with Lafayette Second Team was also lost, 57 to 55. We were greatly outclassed in the field events except high jump. Ycgle, '15, broke the high jump record by four inches, clearing the bar at five feet five inches. We were successful, however, at the Philadelphia Relays, held by University of Pennsylvania. The teams were all fast and our team was composed of all new men. Second place was captured, each man receiving a handsome silver loving cup. On May 14th. we journeyed to Bethlehem Prep, and put up a stiff fight to wiu 26 points thus keeping their score 88 . The Relay Team has two other meets which completes our schedule. The First Interscholastic Relay at Lafayette Track. May 17th. and Interscholastic Relay at Muhlenberg Track. 77 Girls’ Basketball Resume x | _ l IE girls' basketball season of 1912-13 was not a victorious one. However, it was an improvement on that of last year, since we won three more games. The opj oncnls were far more experienced than our girls, and a great deal heavier. Nevertheless, not once did they flinch. no matter how heavy or fast their opponents were. The girls did their best at every game. Who will ever forget that game with Stroudsburg High, when our captain. Miss Rauch, made those brilliant field goals? Miss Richards and Miss Magee both played excellently—in fact every girl on the team deserves credit for good playing. The girls had only one trip that amounted to anything, and that was the trip to Stroudsburg. This was enjoyed by all chiefly because of the fact that they came home victorious, with the score of 19-8. Five out of the ten games were played at home. The hardest of these were those with Moravian Parochial and Bethlehem High School. Both of these games ended with a tie—but after playing an extra five minutes both ended with a defeat for E. H. S. The manager and all the players received the coveted E.” This year the team loses by graduation Miss Rauch and B. Romig. However we expect much of it. 79 r Girls’ Basketball Team Captain ..........

Miss Leah Coleman rendered the story entitled, “ The Courage of the Commonplace, by Miss Mary R. S. Andrews. It was an interesting account of Tap Day at Yale. The entertainment was enjoyed by one and all and we hope to hear her again. Bazaar The 7th annual Bazaar was held in the school on Saturday, March 15th. We need but say that the affair was a grand success. Further details will be found elsewhere. 113th Day The 113th Day exercises of the class of 1913 were held on March 28th, at 2 o'clock. The exercises were given in the form of a short sketch by Miss Brasefield which was well acted. The speeches were 3ll more or less of a humor- ous turn.

The contents of Merth’s desk were in a state of rest, arranged in disarray under the scat. Mcrth came in happy, but vain deluding joys soon betook themselves hence to be superseded by pensive melancholy; for it saddened him exceedingly to see his books thus on the floor. He swore Pro Iuppiter he would tweak Dax Mcdcen’s nose when next he saw him. but the wily Dax kept his proboscis at a healthful distance from the itching palm of Mcrth. Mcrth therefore vented his spleen on Bored Filler of the soft voice and soft solar plexus. Filler's cries of pain filled the air to no avail. Verily he suffered. Skinny Bciningcr and Skyke Serch stopped the affray by laying gentle hands on Mcrth and singing thirty times in con- cert “Aw, have a heart.” Spike Tcnyon spoiled Bciningcr's new ycller shoes in German by squirting ink mercilessly on them. Skinny re- monstrated but was formally ejected from the class room for five days, which occurrence woke up Skyke Serch who was snoring peacefully and beatifically in the front row. Mcrth had on a clean collar today, wondrous to relate. McDecn before entering I.atin class marred its shining beauty by squirting a gushing, limpid stream of water on it. Incidentally he ripped Open Merth’s vest. Merth’s goat temporarily left the stable. McDeen was soundly berated for being so rude, but the shining luster of the collar had departed. Mcrth has been acting strange of late. Either he is affected by the moon or he is in love. He speaks no more to Paul Team and looks at Miss Dachban like a dying calf. The senior Quartet today broke up after vainly seeking harmony in “Old King Cole, for someone threw Skyke Serch into the waste-paper can head foremost. The weekly torture of Bill Aichelkatz begins today. Bciningcr resumes beating tattooes on Aichel’s resounding ribs. Ther is something wrong somewhere. Bored Filler has forn� cd a bachelors club. O why is the spirit of Bored so proud ? Louie Skcctcrs had some buckshot in his mouth this morning, I don’t know why. Someone punched him in the l ack and lie swallowed a few. Now Louie is afraid he’s going to get ball-bearings in his epiglottis. Historical Essay Program High chool Auditorium, June 5, 1913, 10 A. M.

Willson Mildred Voiie “The Value of Trees in Preventing Floods” HE old Roman saying is “From evil comes good,” so it has been in the advancement of our civilization. Seldom has any definite action been taken to remedy an evil until a bomb, in the shape of some terrible catastrophe, has been exploded almost in our ears. Then, and only then, when we have been stunned by our danger, do we wake up and. finding it upon us. make frantic efforts to cure, what might have been easily prevented. It took the terrible Chicago theatre fire to bring about the strict fire ordinances needed in our large halls and all places where people congregate. It took the Titanic disaster to make a horrified world realize the danger of deficient safety devices at sea. And now comes the all—too new calamity along the rivers of the Middle States. Here hundreds of lives and millions—perhaps billions of dollars were lost, while thousands arc homeless now—suffering from cold and hunger. But this is not a speech soliciting aid for our brothers in misery altho as a people we are heedless and un- thinking. our hearts arc close to the surface and our purses respond on the instant. It is still too recent for us to know whether this netv warning will be heeded by a wilfully blind nation. For years, every spring the snows have melted in the water sheds of the Mississippi from Montana and Minnesota to Pennsylvania and rushing down our forest-bare mountains, have swelled the tributaries and made roaring torrents out of these usually peaceful streams. Why—even right here at home, we all know how every spring, our own Delaware, at the first thaw begins to rise, gathers volume and finally comes tearing past our town. We have seen the houses on Front Street flooded. We have seen our usually delightful stream distorted so that its summer bathers and canoeists shudder as they look up the river and sec it a floating mass of ice, logs and brush. And our Delaware is one of the comparatively small rivers of this country, at this point. Still we persist in ignoring these straws that show the way the wind blows. You may ask— How arc we to prevent these Floods,” and What has this to do with Arbor Day?” i 7 The Value of Trees in Preventing Floods —(ContinutJ) First, what shall wc do to prevent these yearly occurrences. Shall we build dykes as the Dutch do to keep out the sea? Shall we raise our riverside houses above the high water mark? Or shall wc deepen the river channel. These might prevent the damage of floods but they will not present floods. You cannot destroy a weed by simply cutting it. you must get to the root and destroy it. So here, you cannot cure floods by donating money, clothing and food after the damage is done, we must get to the causes and remove them. It is natures way for the snows to melt every spring. It is also natural for the water to rush down the mountains. Somebody might say '‘Well, as long as that is nature and can't be helped, let us remove the snows from the moun- tains. The logic of this is very good, but if it were possible, who would want to remove the snows from the mountains. Wc arc already satisfied in this—that it is natural for the snows to melt, now what shall wc do with the water? Nature is a strict economist and has prepared to use all these waters. And this is the way: In the beginning every mountian range had a thick covering of trees and bushes. When the snows melted, the earth absorbed the first water. Then when the ground, with its winters thirst behind it. had taken its fill, the trees and bushes, feeling the first stir of spring in their pulse drank deep draughts of the life-giving fluid. But in spite of this the snows were not all melted— the water still kept coming. The surface water gathered in the small hollows made by the trees and sank into the very roots of the tree. But still the snow was not all melted and the water flowed into the valleys. Yes and the valleys even more thirsty than the hills, eagerly waited for it. Then it sought the rivers and a rise in the rivers was a signal for Thanksgiving and blessing. The yearly floods like that of the Nile, meant life to vegetation. Now. however, all is changed. The forests have been stripped from our mountain by the money-mad, greed-blinded corporations and near-sighted individuals. The snows melting flow riverward. The top surface of the earth takes a hasty gulp as the pressure of the faster and faster melting snows cries “Move On. “Move On.” The bushes and brush deprived of the trees' protection have been destroyed by the winter blasts or scorched by the summer sun. The waters having a clear road, rush down the mountain side and crowd faster and faster the already heavy streams, which in turn tramp on the heels of the swollen rivers, until the rivers come tearing down our valleys destroying everything and carrying liefore them the work of years. “Coming events cast their shadows liefore and it will lie well for us to act liefore a catastrophe of overwhelming volume occurs. ijS The Value of Trees in Preventing Floods’' (Continued) Now is the time to fan the slender flame of indifferent interest into a burst of public sentiment that will force legislative enactments to prevent the destruction of our forests, going on now, and replace the trees which have been destroyed. Let our battle cry be “Save our Trees.” For every one cut down, let two be planted. This day has been set aside by the different states, as a day devoted to the planting of trees, a day devoted to the vegetable resources of our land. It ought to be a reminder that, after all is said, wc arc still nothing but children of Mother Earth, depending on her bounty for our very existence. As it is. this observance, which should have developed into one of the greatest days of the year, has been relegated o school exercises. The usual essays ami humorous re- citations arc delivered. Then comes the usual spark of interest, the usual day or two of frantic activity around the poor, sickly, half stunted posts in our back yards, which we proudly call trees, and then we forget Arbor Day for an- other year. Such has been the case. I.et it be different this year. Let each one of us put our shoulders to the wheel. Let us all spread the enthusiasm to our families and friends and start the ball rolling that will mean, Big Forests, Good Forests, Real Forests, not a few moth eaten sticks that must be put in a straight jacket or brace, to preserve them. Wc must have forests, not for beauty’s sake alone but to stop that evil, called “Floods.” Ia:t “Save our Trees” be your cry. Instead of spending your spare time in Mullabalooing” ami rah rah ing, give some to shout, so that all the neighbors shall hear “Save our Trees.” N. H. Kune, ’14 ,s9 A Protest Against Getting the Blues OW dare you get the blues! What right have you to dictate to the Supreme Being as to how your life | should be ordered! By whose authority do you tohiue and curse your luck and slouch and declare that life is’nt worth living. Life is worth living! Life is big, and vibrant, and beautiful. Life is a glorious ' thing: it is the only thing in the world when you consider the other things for there are no other things which could exist or have their being without life—life in you and in them. And life is not all a soft, luxurious, soothing period in which all obstacles, all troubles arc smoothed out ami blotted away. It is not all joyousness, not a thick, treacly mixture swallowed at one's leisure. Life is sometimes a bitter, rancid draught but its a heady seltzer- like beverage and if taken in proper doses it invigorates, inspires, glorifies. Get together! That’s the key note of life. Show the stuff that’s in you. When you are handed a solcr-plcxus blow don’t take the cotint hut get right up and light back. Life is kind to those who fight—to those who never ask for mercy—to those who take their medicine and grimly take another hold. The big men of the World to-day are the men who never |uit, who never got the blues, who never had time to whine. Be one of the big men of to-morrow. You can do it if you try for there’s nothing on earth that won’t be granted to the man who tries. This thing of getting the blues is a hard proposition. It’s a losing proposition unless you try to forget it. An antidote for the blues would bring its inventor a fortune beyond the wildest dreams of avarice in a day. Everyone gets them and some people get them very often. These arc the losing soldiers, the great army who have lost their grip on life, and its hopeless to endeavor to rescue them. But for that other army, those who are still fighting but who sometimes feel like quitting too there is an antidote and it will cure if taken intelligently. Think this over. When you get the blues don’t sit down anil ino|ie, just think why you’ve got them anil look your trouble squarely in the face. When you have laid the whole matter out in your mind in an orderly manner and have your grievance in a concrete form, then do the same with all the things you have to lie thankful for. all the good things in your life. Nine times out of ten they will so outweigh the troubles that you will laugh ruefully and shake yourself and take a new grip on life. But for the sake of argument suppose you have’nt as many good things in your life as you have things to A Protest Against Getting the Blues— (Continned) be blue about. Then your case is sad indeed but there is still an antidote. YOU HAVE LIFE.

Lo, rising o'er the meadows The sun chased cares away when day began. Astion. the river god arose from the stream and gazed about him in amazement. Whence came the music ? He scanned the forest, but no one was to be seen. He looked above him into the tree-tops, but the only songsters visible were the birds who had their homes in the dark branches. Heaving a sigh of relief, the deity returned to the lowest depths of his dominion, and prepared to sleep away the hours until dusk, for Astion, tho young and good to look upon, was a recluse, loving the company of himself better than that of anyone else, and only venturing forth in the dusk, when he might be safe from all chance wanderers. But alas! no sooner had he got comfortably settled again when once more he heard the voice, this time singing directly above him: Flee, Sorrow, flee! And wouldst thou tarry ever? Take down to Tartarus thy gloomy face. “Flee, Sorrow, flee! Return unto us never And cease to haunt at last the human race.” In exasperation Astion again made his way to the top of the stream, and once more poked out his sullen visage from the water. But the sight that met his eyes so overpowered him that he almost tumbled back again. There. •J Euphrosyne—An Idyll—(Continued) standing on the river bank, her golden head shining amid the dancing leaf-shadows, was a girl, bending to catch in her cupped hands some of the sparkling water. With something almost like a smile the master of the river clambered out on the opposite bank, and gazed across. But the smile quickly vanished when he saw the intruder toss on high the water remaining in her palm—he disliked to see any of his precious drops wasted. And who art thou?” he grumbled. The visitor started back, stared at the gloomy figure, then threw back her sunny head and laughed one long, silvery peal of laughter that awoke countless little echoes within the surrounding forest. “And who art thou: she challenged. “I am called Astion. and am the guardian spirit of those waters which thou hast desecrated. So thou art Astion. he whom gods and men deplore as staining the beauty of the stream with his gloomy presence. Well. Astion. guardian spirit of the waters which 1 desecrate, know that I am Euphrosyne, playmate of Apollo, and daughter of the morning. Had I known that I would meet with thee, rest assured, oh most noble of river gods, thou would’st not have been disturbed. Swaying to and fro on one slender foot, the maiden once more laughed gaily, and challenged the motionless figure on the other side with her blue eyes. This was more than Astion could endure. Springing up. he plunged into the water and straightway reappeared on the other side, his tangled black locks towering above the head of Euphrosyne. Would’st thou mock me thus. he muttered savagely, seizing her two wrists in his own fierce clasp. “So be it. Thou shalt find what it is to arouse the anger of a river god. Listen! because thou hast come where thou should'st not, because tho hast dared to look upon the boundaries of Astion s realm, thou shalt see it all. Into the darkest cavem of the river bed will I bear thee. There will I keq thee as a slave unto me, and thy youth shall vanish, and on earth thou wilt be seen no more.” “Sayest thou so? the captive threw back her head and gazed full into the angry eyes of Astion. He returned the gaze, and wondering, saw. not terror of his threats, but a tiny mischievous twinkle, in their blue depths. Euphrosyne-An Idyll—(Continutd) To jay Astion was amazed would be putting it lightly. Accustomed to be feared by all he met, this disregard of his prowess paralyzed him for a moment. When he came to himself, the eyes and their owner were gone; only the flash of a white robe amid the distant trees betrayed the fact that a trespasser had been present. Rubbing his eyes, and half believing that the episode had been but a dream, the master of the river prepared to descend and resume his interrupted slumbers. But. just as his eyes were closing in sleep, far away, borne down to him by the whispering zephyrs came yet again the disturbing song: Flee, Sorrow, flee! The earth is bright and joyous And all the land in spring-time garb is gay. Flee, Sorrow, flee! Away! thy cares annoy us. We wish but gladness on this festal day. FINIS. B. M. Bkaskfiku . Optimism vs. Pessimism 1 JHSSjra'XE might be led to believe by the heading of this effort that there was a pugilistic combat somewhere in I fn the back ground. If there be any who labor under such a delusion, let them be calm and entertain such ideas no longer. This discourse is meant to bring out the contrast between those two human characteristics - Optimism and Pessimism. The people of this world arc divided into two great schools, Optimists and Pessimists. This division is not made on any geographical or racial basis and although each is the exact antithesis of the other there is no fixed line upon one side of which we see written Optimism and on the other Pessimism. There arc no well defined limits and no laws may be layed down which hold good for any length of time. The Optimist of to-day is the Pessimist of to-morrow and vice-versa. Optimism is really the positive quantity just as in using the two terms heat and cold we consider heat as the positive quantity. When we come into this world we arc normally optimistic and only become soured, crabbed, surly, or in a word pessimistic by contact with the world and its people. Let us consider once more the similarity between heat and cold; Optimism and Pessimism. In the scientific world they do not speak of coldness as the presence of cold, but rather as the absence of heat, therefore we may in treating the subject in hand consider boredom and its equivalents as the absence of Optimism and not as the presence of Pessimism. Thus you will see that we arc dealing with only one quantity under two names; Optimism and negative Optimism or Pessimism. The first is conducive of the good health, rapacious appetite, a bright and cheerful countenance and a general attitude of pleasurable existence. The second destroys all the first and brings in their stead their negatives, namely; poor health, lack of appetite, a gloomy and down cast countenance and a general attitude of dc$] ondency. ns Optimism vs. Pessimism-{ContinutJ) Even though we arc bom into this world with a superabundant supply of Optimism we can none of us hojie to escape the blighting touch of Pessimism. This conies on all of us at sonic time in our lives: things seem to be against us. nothing happens as it is hoped and planned for, then, indeed is our optimism given its true test for staying powers. Well has it been said: The man worth while Is the man wlio can smile When everything goes dead wrong. In other words, a man who fills the above requirements is an optimist in the truest sense of the word. The true optimist, though disheartened many times will bob up as serenely as a cork in water cverytimc. The deeper lie is sunk, the more rapid and higher will be his rise. To the optimist this earth is a glorious place to live on in spite of a few passing inconveniences. The true pessimist will sink over and over again to the lowest depths of despair and there will brood over the hardships and worries of this life. If things do not go smoothly he sits back and says I knew it, I always have been unlucky.” Who is the happier of the two? Need I ask such a question of intelligent people? Of course the optimist is the happier. Everything ajqicar sunny side up to him while the pessimist lives in a darkened sphere. Aside from the spiritual and mental effect this blight has on its victim there is also the physical setback. Grey hairs appear from five to ten years sooner on the head of a pessimist than they do on that of an optimist. Who wants grey hairs? Who wants worries? Who wants borrowed trouble, in fact who wants anything in common with a pessimist? The answer is obviously. “No one, awl the remedy for the evil is to become an optimist and Cheer Up. R. G.

Andrew March, III '37 The Tourist Club—(Continued) m NE sunny afternoon in June. many, many moons ago. a little tend of warriors decided to descend upon the ncighltoring hamlet of Allentown. Now it was the custom for these young men to follow out their threats. So the next day. one who was up bright and early, might have seen these five faithful followers of the wanderlust careening wildly on the road to said burg.” After wandering about promiscuously for some time, the noble youths bethought themselves of home, and mother. But what, said one. “shall we say to our loved ones, if they pcrchancc ask us where we have been? Never fear little one, we will protect you,’ chorused all, but little feared they. For on arriving the next morning at the portals of their dearly beloved (?) school, they were informed, one and all. that their friend and advisor wished to sec them urgently. Upon entering the secret room, the awe struck young men were further amazed and placed under martial law. by he who watches over us. On the beautiful records were inscribed many beautiful stars. (Martin still claims he got Mars, but Freeman disputes him) and the young men were in trembling fear for the remainder of the term. But little did our gracious majesty know what great movement he. in idle moment, had inspired. For what did the unfortunate victims of his wrath do. but organize a Tourist Club, and now ladies and gentlemen, any time not in school hours, you hear a loud ding-dong, followed by a cloud of dust, make way. for it is the redoubtable tourist army on a pilgrimage in seareli of adventure. ijS Domestic Science ) one who has been reared in the old school, the customs and ideas of the old days cling as tenaciously as docs the bark to the tree. In those days one might have had artistic talent with impunity, but to exercise such talent in the school room was little less than a crime and was considered as an assault U| on the dignity of the teacher. The boy who drew faces because he'simply had to draw was a truly dangerous character in a school-room where boys came to learn and whose learning process did not permit them to look above or below the margin of the printed page before them. I was such a one and not many days ago I visited and like noise, that I was in doubt as to whether I was not in a boiler shop instead of an educational institution. Being upper floor when appeared before my eyes a charming figure cncvloped in a huge white apron and bearing in her hands a tray on which was placed most enticingly, a dainty little lunch of rolls and chocolate. Now certainly there was something wrong. Either I had been deceived or else I was fast losing control of my senses. I cannot tell you just how it all happened, but in less time than I have taken to relate, I was seated at a table feasting upon above mentioned lunch. The fact that all was so deliciously novel made me determined to Shift the matter to the bottom. To begin with. I owed my gratitude to the Domestic Science Department of the High School. Upon inquiry I learned that 131 young ladies were being instructed once a week in that branch. Upon further inquiry I found that the School Board had authorized the installment and maintenance of such a department. I was told about the long and patient effort which had been made to introduce Domestic Science in High School curriculum. With the glowing faces of those girls before me, each one so proud of her achievements in the culinary line as well as in mental and physical development I began to doubt the wisdom of those old masters. And 1 remembered Ruskin’s definition— Cooking means—to be perfectly and always “Ladies” “Ix af-givcrs.” the High School Building in Easton. Passing through the basement. I heard such a tremendous pounding, hammering assured that it was only the manual training department I proceeded, slightly dismayed.

B. 141 The Force of Circumstance any one had told Walter Miford that lie was superstitious before the night of December the twenty- first, he would have shrugged his shoulders and laughed off the accusation with that carefrccncss of spirit, which always asserted itself no matter how gloomy the surrounding circumstances were, or the frowns and pessimism of his fellow workmen. It had been a hard day on the exchange. His father, an experienced broker, had given him his first big deal. It was up to him to handle it as he saw fit, with no advice from any of the older men in the office. And so he had worked far into the night and his father and their friends had stayed to see the outcome, and now, flushed with success, Walter had managed to escape the shower of congratulatory remarks and caught the theatre train to the small suburban town where he lived. What difference did it make that he had to stand all the hour's ride, crowded at every turn, his thoughts had room enough and more to spread out in rosy paths to the future. He would show them what young blood could do. He would keep up his work of to-day until he was his own master. There was another deal for to-morrow ten times more important than this. That meant another chance for profit, another road open to success. During their short walk to the house. Walter kept up a steady flow of conversation, while his father, proud of his son's first venture answered little but beamed upon every word. There was but a dim light in the hall as they entered, but as Walter removed his overcoat, it was bright enough to enable him to follow the sparkle of a tiny object which tinkled along the floor from seeming space, lie picked up the object and holding it to the light, found it was a scarf pin with a cat's eye in the head. It blinked with its yellowish green light as it lay in his palm. It must have got stuck on me from one of those fellows who were jammed against me in the train, lie remarked. It seems strange though, how it did the trick. Imagine it's worth something too, turning it over in his hand, no doubt there'll be an ad. to morrow. If not. well. I'll keep it just for a sort of commemoration of this day. you know. Dad. Cood-night! I'm off to sleep tight now, and be fresh for another hard pull to-morrow. Here's hoping its as lucky as to day. And his father’s eyes echoed the wish as they followed the boy upstairs. There was nothing dearer to his heart than to have his son succeed through hard work as he had been forced to. and it seemed to-day as if the start had been made. «4 The Force of Circumstance—(Continued) Waller stuck the pin in a cushion on the dresser, where its glaring eye, like some we see in pictures seemed to follow his every move. There was something uncanny in it. A tiny flaw in the centre might I taken for the dark pupil of a real eye and this seemed to move while the color changed from an almost transparent yellow to an opaque bluish grecu. But it would have taken something much less trivial than this to disturb the bright dreams of the boy as lie sprang into bed. When the bright sunlight again showed itself in his room, it caught the gleam of the stone and first met Waller's eye in the morning. In daylight it was more sinister for the sunbeams brought out its own limpid gold, snowing a wicked sparkle inviting and irresistable. Somehow he remembered it in the car, and all that day at work. He found nothing, however, in his hasty glance at the papers regarding its loss, and he did not advertise, for the difficult situation at the office held his whole time. His big deal had fallen flat. He had lost all his former success in the last throw, and praise had all incited into blame. For it is always so true that the things a man fails in are remembered long after his success is forgottcu. The stock dropped lower and lower all day. He stayed in town all that night, and the next, too, to keep track of things. It did no good. For a week his newly established credit sank with each passing day. His father regarded him with a sad disappointed air, yet never reproached him in look or word. His colleagues looked upon him with a “ we told you so” air, and seldom tried to cheer him. At first Waller's spirit rebelled. His temper would break out whenever advice was offered him, which lie invariably refused to take, though coming from older and experienced workers. At the end of a week lie became moody and downcast and brooded over his failure alone. Then one night, to take his mind off his work, he fell to studying every line and shade of the stone in his new found pin. Then he read about them. All sorts of weird tales of their wrecking of men’s lives, of their influence to plunge them to death. Of an old Kgyptian who had possessed one which had cast such a spell over him that rather than let it be taken from him he consented to be buried alive. Now as it sparkled at him lie too felt its uncanny influence. No matter how often he laid it down, its alluring glare kept his eyes fixed on it and the power it had brought him into the worst depths of despair. Now he felt sure lie could not redeem his mistakes. That lie must go on linking them until it ended with—well, he could still resist that end, for a while, though how long he did not know. He had failed miserably. He had taken his chance and lost it. Perhaps after all it would be best to make an end of it. For Walter was like the Japanese who look on suicide as something that always stands as a way out of every difficulty. «43 - The Force of Circumstance—{Continued') The next day, haggard and pale, he was still striving to readjust matters when another broker entered his office. He offered Walter some inside information on the line of stocks he knew him to be working on which would without a doubt bring everything to a successful close. It meant success and a handsome profit. “Of course, he concluded, “ I expect a reward, and incidentally it must be paid in advance.” Walter thanked him and promised to think it over. He had been warned against this man Bryce as a sharker and a schemer to bring matters around to a profitable turn for himself. But he had seemed sincere and sympathetic and sympathy at this time was sweet to the discouraged boy. But his father said no. and Walter made up his mind to refuse. That night, to help relieve his feelings, he went with a friend to the theatre. It was considered one of the l est dramas of the year, and Walter promised himself to try to forget everything in its enjoyment. The first act began very well, then as its story worked along a cat's eye entered the theme. Its horrible hereditary influence over the youth. His passion excited by its being worn by his rival and then his striking the man for flaunting it in his face—striking him with a force that caused death. It was uncanny, it seemed a black fate that followed Walter everywhere, and brought up the stone at every turn. Its sinister influence held him more and more in its clutches and influenced his every action. He could not stay for more. He hurried through the falling snow home, and to his room. There the old question recurred to his mind. Should he accept the proposal? It would mean borrow the money to give Bryce for the information. For a man such as he does not work for any such sum as Walter had yet earned. But where could he borrow? He could not ask his father or the others in the office since they had forbidden it. It would be almost impossible to get it from an outsider, the news would spread all over the market that he had been forced to borrow after a two-mouths' career. He could almost hear the short laughs of derision and see the cynical smiles. The only other way was to borrow without letting his father know—he would be fair enough to himself to call it by the right name— the alternative was to steal. No! lie would not do it. It was settled. And he brought his hand down on the desk with a thump of decision. Something quivered under that blow. It was the pin. He picked it up and gazed steadily for a minute at it. Every gleam said to him accept, accept.” His resolution wavered, the play, the uneauny tales, all returned. Perhaps it was fate. The stone held his eye with its wicked glitter. Accept. it repeated, “accept, borrow the money, steal it, but acccept. A chill crept over Walter's frante. the hand that held the pin shook, the cold beads of perspiration stood out on his brow. The chances of gain began to look bigger, the restoration of his old success grew brighter, lie forgot the means he must take to get there. But his father—he could not do it. He looked at the stone. His father '44 The Force of Circumstance—(Continued) would never know. When the stock went up, when the profit was his own, he could put the money back. It was easy. “ I'll do it because I must, because you make me,” he almost shouted The words grated between his teeth, and he flung the pin far across the room, Then he tried to sleep but the darkness frightened him. He saw great yellow eyes staring in at the windows, the wind and snow blew in gusts outside, every creak, every rattle of the pane filled him with new fear. Then he arose and crept down stairs, where he sat smoking for the rest of the night, huddled close to the fireplace, every light ablaze, and every door securely fastened. The next day the storm still contiuucd. The trains were snow bound, but Walter true to his resolve wired Bryce to meet him the following day. Pale and hollow-eyed, hands shaking wheuever he lifted them, he roamed through the house. Luncheon passed, the afternoon dragged on with little relent in the storm. Walter felt the need of exercise. He had been smoking too much he knew, he needed a more permanent steadier for his nerves than this. Out he went to shovel suow. The exercise did him good. It brought back some color and made hin� steadier. “ God knows I must be steady for to-night.” he murmured. Iiarly that evening Bryce 'phoned. You're sure of the money? he asked. Then I can go ahead, I can handle this better than you anyway. Walter, all his fears of treachery returning, asked him to hold it off till morning. No. came the reply. Then began a long list of inducements. Walter listened and was tempted again. He remembered the cat's eye ; he thought he saw it in front of him in the hall suspended in the din� light by nothing. Yes,” he shouted, clashing the receiver down, and dimly hearing the reply to bring it the first thing in the morning. He rushed straight into the library to the small home safe his father kept there. He took five thousand dollars worth of securities, and crept silently to his room upstairs. His hands trembled, he must get the pin. that was the only thing that kept him up, that made him see only the gain that followed the act. not the honor of it. He could not find the pi� � , feverishly he hunted over the desk, the dresser, and every iuch of the floor. No sign of it remained. Then he sat down to think. A half hour passed. What a fool he had been, he thought, where was his manhood, where was the cotiragc that had brought him his leadership in the Varsity? What would his father do? His only son gone dead wrong at the beginning, he could not break that heart for all the money in the exchange. If it meant poverty and honor, he would accept. Quietly he slipped down stairs with the n� oi� ey. He 'phoned again to Bryce and finally closed the agreement, without explanation. Then he went to bed and slept. The next morning, after the whole disagreeable story had been told he planned with his father to go West, to get out of the market, such work was not meant for him. And I'll make good. Dad, lie said with fervor in his old '3 '45 The Force of Circumstance (Continued) straightforward manner. Life in t he open is what I need, and that's what will make me a son to 1 proud of. His father agreed and wondered at his son's restored faith in mankind, as he patted him on the shoulder and watched him run up the steps with something of his old debonairness of manner. Half way up, the housekeeper stopped him and handed hint the lost pin. Wc found this in the vacuum cleauer, sir. it must ha%-c lain on your floor when wc cleaned yesterday. Walter murmured his thanks and took the pin to his room. It still sparkled and though it may have been imagination it was a tranquil sparkle without any change or wicked gleaming. Before the dresser, he stuck it in his tic. where it remained eveu after his dearest ambitions had been realized. The Battle of Trenton HEN the last joyous notes of her liberty bell had died away and the last drop of ink on the Declara- tion of Independence had dried, America, flushed with the success of her audacity, and thrilled to her very heart with the passionate intensity of the declaration, rose as in a single body, burning to make good the stirring words and put an end forever to the tyrannic power that was persecuting her. As in a duel, after the first drop of blood has been shed, the winner, flushed with his success often dashes recklessly forward to put an end to his opponent and loses his vantage ground in his eagerness, so America, weak through loss of men and inexperience was about to rush blindfold into the hands of an enemy, whose force outnumbered hers, by an average of nearly five men to one. But. just as. many centuries ago, the dictator, Flavius, firm and tenacious of puq ose, saved Rome from disaster, by his deliberateness, so General Washington, at a critical moment discovered the utter inadvisability of such hasty actions.—following the plan of his ancient predecessor, assumed the defensive instead of the offensive. He knew that the unequal duel that was being fought could omy be cndcu by a single orilliant stroke and he was prepared to wait for it. At first the people trusted him implicitly, but when on August 27th. thr British killed six hundred of his much needed soldiers took one thousand prisoners at Long Island, and then captured Fort Washington and Fort Lee, successively, two of his strongest forts on the Hudson, and he slowly began to retreat southward before the enemy's advances,—instead of gladdening their hearts with victories, their faith in him slowly diminished. To them, his Fabian policy typified only a twelve week’s retreat with a loss of forty-four hundred and thirty prisoners of which three hundred and twenty-nine were officers.—but to Washington it was but one of the many welded links that was to complete the chain of hi success. With scarce four thousand men fit for duty, he posted at Hackensack, New Jersey, and sent urgent appeals to Congress for help, but the response was disheartening; Congress had no desire to help a constantly retreating force. '47 The Battle of Trenton—(CmH ue4) By consent, however, of the venerable body, he ordered Phillip Schuyler at Ticondcroga to send aid. but his troop had almost completed their terms and were unwilling to rc-cnlist. Brigadier General Hughes received a like com- mand but his army was swiftly being diminislted by desertions, and Major General Charles I.cc wilfully refused to comply with Washington's orders. Warned by the rapid approach of the enemy, and without reinforcements. Washington was obliged to leave Hackensack and retreat southward to Newark, where he had just time enough to send his sick to Morristown, when the enemy appeared on the cast side of the Passaic river under Honorable John Vaughan, colonel of the forty- sixth regiment, with a force of about twelve thousand strong. At about the same time he was compiled to send one of his best men to Monmouth County in order to quell an tiprising there. Being thus disabled, he was forced to leave the city and continue the retreat after having first tainted the bridge behind him. On November the twenty-eighth the retreat across New Jersey was continued in front of an army of twelve thousand warmly dressed and well paid redcoats. Had General Gage kept his advantageous position at that time and jierscvercd. there is no doubt but tliat Washington might have been utterly routed, but just at that point Lieutenant-General Sir William Howe succeeded him. and was as weak and unscrupulous as his predecessor was vigilant. As soon as Washington heard this, his joys knew no bounds. Immediately dividing his troops into two col- umns. one marching south, the other by way of Elizabethtown and Quibblctown, he retreated to New Brunswick and arrived there on November twenty-ninth, noon, just as the enemy entered Newark. With a foresight that came from his continual alertness, he ordered all boats and rafts of any description for sixty miles up and down the river to lie collected ami brought to the west side of the river, opposite Trenton. When the British arrived, they were com- pletely cut off.—once more by the foresight of Washington. But tl c suffering of the little patriots had been intense. It had taken them three weeks to cross New Jersey.— less than one hundred miles. Winter had cook upon them quickly and more hail died of starvation and cold than of bloodshed. Families were dying of hunger from the repealed raids of the pitiless Hessians upon their meagre stores, ami Congress was too poor to pay the soldiers that they might either help ihemstlvts or their families. To add to the general misery, a few days after the British arrival. General Howe, by permission of the government, is- 148 The Battle of Trenton—{Continued) sued a proclamation, granting full enjoyment, of liberties to all who would within sixty days leave the army and submit to the crown.” It took the greatest of sacrifice for the few who were faithful to refuse the offer, for they loved peace and it was for that that they were fighting. The British on the opposite side of the Delaware, flushed with their continued successes, made no attempt what- ever to cross the river, being content to wait until it froze. And although there were enough buildings and sources from which over forty-eight thousand feet of boards and enough wire could have been obtained, to build rafts. Howe preferred the warm drawing room of his inn to the exerting activity of building rafts, and was content to wait. Washington had anticipated Howe’s plans to cross as soon as the river froze and formed his plans accordingly. The main supplies of the British were at New Brunswick. At Amboy near New York. Howe had placed a small can- tonment of troops, one at Princeton and two of fifteen hundred Hessians at Trenton and Bordentown. Trenton and Bordentown were six miles apart. And the distance between Trenton and Princeton was twelve miles. New Bruns- wick was eighteen miles from Princeton. Washington's plans were to cross at Trenton, capture it, and then the others successively, all the while moving toward Morristown from whence he could threaten New York and protect Phila- delphia. The earlier part of December was spent in taking provisions back and forth by boat during the night, ascertaining the position of the enemy at Trenton and vicinity in detail and appealing to Congress for aid. At last in response to the many appeals. Congress sent three battalions of Associators under Colonel John Cadwallader, Captain Sam Morris's troop of horses and Thomas Forrest’s battery of artillery. The continental army also sent a German de- tachment of New Jersey militia, belonging to the first regiment of the Hunterdon Brigade, under Colonel Isaac Smith, and part of the second regiment of Middlesex brigade under John Ncilson. In just punishment for his wilful dis- obedience to Washington, General I.ee was captured by the British while he was peacefully sleeping in a tavern, five miles from his troops. Thus twenty-five hundred more willing men were added and placed under General Sul- livan. General Howe absolutely confident of victory returned to New York for the Christmas holidays and Cornwallis equally assured was on his way abroad. General Washington’s policy was showing its good effects:—the enemy over- confident through the many victories, had become reckless as Washington had meant them to do. � 49 The Battle of Trenton—{CcnUnutd) When the two head leaders of the opposing force had abandoned one of their most important fortresses to the sole care of General Rahl (who had won distinction at Fort Washington as being a brave soldier) with only three regiments of Hessians under Iaassbcrg and Anspach, Washington knew tlrat the time had come to strike the blow. He planned to send Military Governor, Putnam of Philadelphia to engage the attention of Von Donop at Bor- dentown. General F.wing was to cross two miles below Trenton ami intercept Von Donop from being an aid to Rahl. On the right Gates and Cadwalladcr were to cross over to Bristol and regions around Mount Holly. Washing- ton on the left was to cross above the town with the continental army and do the main fighting himself. He knew that it was the German custom, cs| ocially the Hessians, to imbibe freely of spirituous li |uors and overabundance of food at Xmas time, and lie decided to complete his plans on Christmas night when the festivities had been the most violent. During the day. faithful spies confirmed his opinions and accordingly on the night of December 25. 1876. what may l e called the beginning of the end of the revolution was t egun. The night was bright, but of a frosty, glairy brightness that portended a coming snow storm. At that point the river was about three hundred feet wide and cakes of ice floated lown on the current. Although not dangerous had the soldiers been properly clothed, the dreadful ex- posure to the frost and wind was terrible to the poor, scantily clad men. About six o’clock the passage was l egun. Washington had planned to cross the McConkey’s Ferry by midnight, but the passage over the river was slow and it was nearly eleven o'clock before the infantry had landed. Perhaps it would have been later had not the Gloucester regiment and the Marble-head fishermen proved so Itclpful. Mean- while it had Ijccn growing steadily colder and snow began to fall. For five hours the infantry were compelled to wait in the fury of tl c storm witliout any protection whatever, until the remainder had crossed, which was not until three a. m. It is a notable fact that General Washington remained with the soldiers, urging them on, and filling their hearts with courage, until the last man had embarked, and the result was that, that which had seemed almost im- possible five or six hours ago. was accomplished by four a. m. Bleeding, shivering and chattering with cold, one of the nsost remarkable passages in the world had been made. The difficult task of bringing them over being «lone, relying on the obesliencc of the other Generals, he was about to move on. when a messenger came, saying that Gen. Gates had suddenly gone to Congress of his own accord! Cadwalladcr had tried to cross but in vain and Ewing ha ! 150 The Battle of Trenton—(Continued) made no effort whatever! The blow was a hard one. Two of the main supports making no attempt whatever to cross, while history says the blood from the frozen feet of Washington's soldiers had pointed out their route to the messengers. It was then that the real American spirit asserted itself. In spite of the blood streaming from their bare, frozen limbs, in spite of the many disappointments, the suffering, the irony of fate and the memory of a Christmas that might have been, with the words, “victory or death in their hearts and on their blue parched lips, they pressed on determined to win. For they were fighting for their liberty, homes and country, and needed no stronger incentive than their cause. There were two roads which lead to Trenton from McConkey’s Ferry. One was by the river, the other further inland. The river road strikes Trenton on the south side of the village, near a stone bridge that crossed the As- sanpink Creek. The upper or Pennington road enters where King and Queen Streets join at a sharp angle. Wash- ington and Greene took the upper road and General Sullivan the lower. About eight o'clock, Washington met the advance guard of Hessians huddled together in a shed from the blind- ing snow, about half a mile from King Street. Unable to use the powder in their guns, wet with sleet and snow, the Americans used bayonets and the enemy blinded by the snow, unable to tell the number of the foe were soon in Washington’s power. Doubly quick the patriots pushed in from the upper and lower sides Sullivan on the stone bridge which was parallel to the main street, Greene on the north and Stark on the south. The main artillery was massed at the head of King and Queen Streets, consisting of Forrest’s battery of six guns. A steady fire was kept on the main street. Had Rahl listened to Colonel Donop before, and placed fieldworks or defense of any kind in front of the Ferry or at any of the approaches of the Town. Trenton would never have been taken. One defense at the head of King and Queen Streets would have immediately put an end to the daring expedition. But his only effort at defense was to place the small picket on the Pennington road, and to fortify his main quarters on Perry Street near King, with two guns. As soon as he became aware of the enemy’s presence, he quickly put himself at the head of a hastily gathered detachment, but was fired upon by Forrest. Knyphauscn tried to form between Queen Street and Assanpink bridge, while a third band, that attempted to form in an orchard in the vicinity of King Street, blinded by the snow '5' The Battle of Trenton (.Continued) .in 1 maddened by the continuous fire, was completely demoralized. Before Raid could gather a sufficiently strong infantry for protection, hi two guns were seized by George Washington and Lieutenant James Monroe. Colonel Rahl was mortally wounded, and. pressed on all sides, especially by Sullivan in the rear, escape being impossible, the battle was brought to an end in less than thirty minute . This blow practically put an end to the revolution. With six bronze guns, four sets of colors, over one thousand stands of arm , twelve drums, blankets and garrisons as their reward, with the knowledge of victory in their hearts, anti blankets to keep them warm, new life and new courage were infused into the brave little army and liberty seemed very near indeed. The British had lost a! out twenty- four hundred men and one hundred prisoners. Washington’s sole loss was two men frozen to death by tlie cold. And thus a second time a country was saved by the F abian policy, and the resulting lesson was a hard one to the British. It showed them that in dealing with Washington, they were combating with a very dangerous opponent Furthemtore. it was made plain to them that men whose only excuse to fight was their pay. to whom life, love and country were nothing, could never hojie to overcome the few brave men who had so bravely pledged to each other, their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honour.” Jeannette Jacobsox.

Act opens amidst great excitement! Preparation for the mighty battle of wits. Prince Hcff with difficulty fights his way thru the surging mob and towering above the mass with his 6 feet 5 inches (minus about 1 foot 1 inch) in stenatorian tones pronounces tlic coming battle for the Checker Championship between Duke Mcrwa aud Count dc B. B. Bixla. Loud cheers follow and silent wagers arc placed. SCENE II. Enter Duke Mervra and Count de Bixla accompanied by courtiers and Princes Mic and Hcff, Baron I.c Heck, Sir Lath Rope. Chooseing of men (not human) for battle takes place. Prince Mic produces a shining half dollar where- upon all cry treat. This outburst of rowdyism quelled and keeping an eye open for the King, Prince Mic proceeds to throw the coin. OH! HORRORS! HORRORS!! THRICE HORRORS!!! Cries of the Kink, Kink! Deftly catching the Koin Prince Mic becomes deeply engrossed in the pattern. The King, with n suspitious glance, passeth by. With a sigh of relief operations once more begin. The white men for the Count ! Oh. lucky Mcrwa ! He hath first move! A Tumble Battle—{Continued) SCENE III. Scene opens with both seated at the table backed by their respective seconds. Prince Mic, as umpire, Jakes a commanding scat on the tabic opposite. Ah! the Royal Battle begins. HORRORS! The Duke hath carelessly stubbed his finger on a man in the very first move ! A terrible mishap ! In frenzy Prince Heff runs for Doc Kcat! Alter a considerable delay the finger is bandaged and put in a splint and the game goes on. Merwa exults, but alas ! By a quick detour Bixla lands fairly and squarely in Mcrwa's King Row, whereupon Merwa exclaims “Gee! And a mighty slaughter takes place and Merwa is literally cleaned. Here endeth the first battle. SCENE IV. The Duke refreshes his luck by a turn around the room while the Count merely states that such an action is “ DElcterious to the adolescent intellect and totally lugubrious and inexpedient.” While Baron Lc Heck rushes up the stairs for a dictionary, the battle is renewed. Long rages the fight! Hard fought! No mercy shown I No mercy asked ! Finally Prince Mic declares it a draw. Merwa beams. One game won and the series would be tied. “ While there’s life there’s hope. SCENE V. Merwa removes his lid, and rolls up his sleeves. Now for revenge ! All look on with anxiety. Was it to be a drawn battle? Ha! Merwa slips one over on the Count. Nothing daunted Bixla proceeds to cogitate. Long lie thinks. Merwa in despair scratches his head. Alas, alack, what a shame ! For in so doing he dislodges one of his beautiful locks which straightway falleth in his eye thus impairing his vision and delaying the battle. Once more the faithful doctor is called. Once again the battle is renewed. But Merwa complains of a sore eye whereupon Bixla executes a grand finale cleaning up everything in sight. O, terrible disaster! The Duke and his cohorts withdraw. CURTAIN •ss Paying Back Ten Dollars |KN Curtis liad borrowed ten dollars and now it had to be paid back upon the morrow. Already he had exhausted all hi ingenuity trying to devise a scheme for earning the money but to no avail. It might as well have been a hundred dollars instead of ten, for all the good it did him. Every effort served only to dishearten him the more. The wastepaper basket overflowed with his attempts to write a novel that would at once bring the world to his feet and its money into his pocket. He had even tried peddling garden truck but, alas, his pride and his ambition were continually at war. His ambition would cry, Onions! Radishes ! and his pride would add. I only hope to goodness nobody hears me. So that attempt had failed and here he was. with only one more day of grace, striding nervously up and down the room, his hands stuffed in his pockets and his feelings lodged somewhere near the region of his boots, no nearer his goal than before. Of one thing he was certain, he couldn't ask his dad for it for he was old enough to realize that ten- dollar-bills didn't grow on bushes or, if they did that bis dad didn't happen to have that particular kind of a bush out on the farm just at present. His stride, in trying to keep up with his thoughts, became more and more agitated and threatened to dislodge the plastering. Thunderalions!” he exclaimed at last, pulling desperately at his wool as though to extract therefrom a crisp tcn-dollar-bill. Twenty minutes to ten and no money yet! Not an atom! Not a single measly cent!” lie ended with a groan throwing himself across the bed where, towards dawn, he fell sleep to dream fitfully of an ocean full of greenbacks and a pair of iron-clad wrists and prison bars. The fateful day had come and now was almost gone. Poor Ben. all hopes fled and with a heart full of misgivings, was preparing to go and make his confession. Reluctant to start, lie stood at a table fumbling absently among the books nnd letters. Quite as absently he picked up a letter, tore it open and, to his utter amazement, a ten-dollar-bill 156 Paying Back Ten Dollars—(Cmtimud) fluttered down to the floor ! He turned pale with astonishment but quickly recovering his senses lie glanced, with a joyful whoop, at the letter, saw that it came from his father and. with another whoop, lie disappeared out the front door, the ten-dollar-bill firmly grasped in his hand. Upon his return he bounded lightly up the steps, a broad grin upon his face, and pounced eagerly upon the letter saying. Dear old Dad ! He must have known I was down in my luck ! Came just in time, too!” But half way down the page his expression of joy changed and his face began to take on the dimensions of a yard measure as he read slowly, • I am sending you a ten-dollar-bill with which to buy me some of Bcntly’s granulated chicken feed.” GbRTRUDK Romic.
