(Greeting S Goldsmith has said of his “Vicar of Wakefield, there are a thousand faults in this little hook and a thousand things might he said to prove them beauties. But it must he remem- bered that this is our first attempt to publish an annual for the Graham High School, and it is largely due to our inexperience in the work that these faults occur. We have endeavored in this book to give those who are interested in the school an idea of what is being done, and to give those who one day shall gladly call the G. H. S. their Alma Mater a priceless souvenir which perhaps on some distant day they will take down from the shelf, and with the tears of joy rolling down their aged cheeks, shall turn the dusty pages of The Coyote and recall the pleasant days spent in the dear old G. H. S. tLbc parting With heavy hearts we now come near “The parting of the ways.” We soon must leave those we hold dear, Our friends of better days. Those friends who always in our minds will hold A place that is most high. For whom our love will ne’er grow cold, Or admiration die. We bid farewell to those scenes which long We have cherished in our hearts. And though we’ve sung the farewell song. Their memory ne’er departs. As we look our last on these dear old walls That have sheltered us for long. The sight of them fond memories recalls. And makes more sad the farewell song. And as the path of life divides before Our footsteps as we go our way. We think of the halcyon days no more, Hut of the future day. Farewell to thee, dear Graham High, No sadder words, the tongue or pen Produces than the words, “Good by,” When we part to never meet again. J. W.

McLendon assumed the direction of the Graham Public Schools seven years ago when their standard was far from high. By constant, untiring-, conscientious work he has raised the standard until we are now able to compare very favorably with any high school in the state. The year 1912-13 has been his crowning- year, inasmuch as he has secured a large number of units of affiliation for us wiih Texas University and recognition from the State Superintendent. He is liked bv all the students and is considered the most popular Superintendent we have had. He has been ably assisted by Prof. Leonard K. Gilliland, in the capacity of Principal of the High School. Mr. Gilliland is well versed in the subjects that he teaches and has done his part toward the upholding ol the standard ol the school. He is a good “mixer” and is well liked by the bovs and also the girls who unanimously vote him to be a “good fellow.” LEONARD F. GILLILAND, History and Science. MOODY, TEXAS.

Too much praise cannot he bestowed on Miss Ethel Rogers for the able way ... wh.cl. she has conducted the work in the English course for the past three years. The course has been strengthened until better training in English cannot be attained anywhere. She is a true triend to the student and is held in the highest regard by all. Her pleasant disposition and k.nd manner have been largely instrumental in securing: for her the large number of friends she possesses. Miss Fannie Bye Rogers, or “Miss F. B.,” as she is known to distinguish her has been successful in gaining a place in the esteem of the pupils, and her abilit) in work in the Latin Department causes her to be ranked first-class as a teacher. from her sister, conducting the MISS FANNIE BYE ROGERS, B.

Mr. and Mrs. Crabb cannot receive too much commendation for the able way in which they have been teaching music here. Mr. Crabb is a graduate of Von Schiller on the piano and although he does not specialize on the violin he is a splendid per.oritur on this instrument. Mrs. Crabb is well known to all the people of Graham, inasmuch as she has been raised here. From time to time they have given recitals here and the attendance they received lias been ample evidence of the appreciation of their talent and that oi their pupils. B th are pleasant people to know and their large number of friends fully demonstrates this. MRS. J. F. H. CRABB, Piano. GRAHAM, TEXAS.

We are compelled to consider Miss Ruth Isaacs in the first class as a pianist and teacher of music. Her performances never fail to please and those of her pupils produce the same effect. Her pleasant manner and sweet disposition have secured for her many triends and patrons and her popularity never ceases to increase. The recitals she has given from time to time, have all been well attended, which attests to the appreciation of her efforts that is felt by the public. As a teacher of expression, none surpass Miss Lucile Miller. Being a splendid reader herselt, 1k is able to give to her pupils thorough instruction in this branch ot study. She, too, has given several recitals, all of which have received splendid attendance. She is of a very lovable nature and her friends are many. We feel perfectly safe in predicting for her immeasurable success in the line of education she has chosen. MISS LUCILE MILLER, Expression GRAHAM. TEXAS.

CiRAl E STOFFERS, FANNIE WALLACE, LOREN A Senior Ibistorv The high and mighty powers have so decreed that the annals of thisillustriousclass shall be passed down to succeeding generations through the efforts of my feeble pen. It is with fear and trembling that I undertake this responsible duty fear that I cannot do it justice and trembling lest their great- ness, as I recall it to mind, may overpower me completely. In a Class History we attempt to sketch the lite of the class from the time it emerges from the obscurity of the Freshman year on up to the day when its members say farewell to their “Alma Mater.” I will sum it up briefly. When we first find our glorious class in its Freshman year, eleven of its present members are upon its roll, namely: Buford Snoddy, Fannie Steffers, Grace Stewart, Ruth Doty, Velma Martin, Osmer Kramer, Lee Carmack, Eddie Jeffery, Gus Spivey, Robert Morrison and Goodmon II lbert. At the beginning ol our Sophmore year, our class was greatly benefited by the addition of Miss Beulah Allen. This young lady has been of great value and encouragement to our class. Only two additions were made in our Junior year. Misses Lorena Wallace and Ollie McAfee cast their lot among us in the term of 1911-12. Mr. Oscar E. Finlay leit his navy life, full of adventure and freedom, and came to us in our last and crowning year. lie returned a fine specimen of military training to resume the mental struggles of our final year. The illustrious class which preceded us was composed mostly of musicians. While we cannot boast of 100 percent, of such talent; we are glad t � furnish two members of our High School Quartette, Messrs. Jeffery and Moirison, and to have a number o pianists on our roll. Misses Dotv, Allen, Wallace, Sloiters, Snoddy and also Mr. Jeffery. As to our ability in oratory, you have a fair chance to judge from our commencement themes. In the atheletic field we are able to b � ast of having lurnished the captain of our High Sch ml base ball team, and athletic editor for our Annual. One of our young ladies holds the championship as a lady tennis player. The truth is. that many of the gentlemen are afraid to meet her in single con- test. I refer to Miss Ruth Doty, who is willing to sustain her reputation. When it comes to faithfulness and scholarship, we have in Misses Ollie McAfee and Grace Stewart examples not to be excelled anywhere. Besides the variety of accomplishments as individuals, we are proud of tin class honor of having never violated the school rules, or in any wav gained notoriety by disorder or insubordination. We have for our motto “Willing and Able,” which we strive to exemplify, and our colors are blue and white, which typify constancy and purity. Our first teacher in English, as we entered our Freshman year, was Miss Clark. Since then we have had Miss Ethel Rogers and it is our earnest hope that Graham will never suffer such a calamity as to accept her resignation. In fact we hesitate to publish to the world just how line a woman and teacher she is, as some rich school board or ditto merchant, farmer or widower might be trying to offer her inducements to quit us. For the first three years we had Mr. Hendrix Rider as teacher of History and it was with sincer- est regret we had to give up so splendid an instructor to resume his professional studies. Mr. Rider was highly esteemed by all. b th in the school room and out. This year his place is filled bv Mr. Gilliland. As it was his first year in his chosen profession our class must have caught some of the A. M. hazing spirit, for we tried his patience most sorely. He stood our capers nobly and we humbly ask his forgiveness for all teasing and worn and hope our successors will afford him some enjoyment. Mr. Gilliland was also instructor in science. Through his interesting presentation ot the subject the complicated experimentsand reasons are made plain to us all. Prof. McClendon has had charge of our mathematics all through our course apd als of our Latin until last year, and if our mental faculties are not properly developed it is through no fault or failing on his part. His work among us is too well known and highly valued to need comment from your humble scribe. This last year we had Miss Fannie Bye Rogers in Latin. She has so endeared herself to every member of our High School that we have misgivings about letting all her good qualities be known for the same reasons as given in her sister's case. All of these have been so kind, patient and enduring that we, as a class, can never express our gratitude and appreciation too strongly. Having been under the instruction of such teachers I see no reason why we should not all have a bright and promising future before us but I must not encroach upon the territory of our wise and capable prophetess. I ask each to remember that.

New York, N. Y. My Dear Miss Fannie,— All through the ten long, dreary years that have passed since we parted, each to iollow up his career, I have never ceased to hope that some day we might meet again. I have followed with unflagging interest your career from the time of your dehut into Grand Opera at the Worlds theatre in New York, down to your recent success in Paris, London and our own American cities. The past week has been an unusually busy one for me. On Wednesday I delivered an address at the dedication of the Home for Superannuated Teachers, which has been founded at Upper Tank by Misses Grace Stewart and Ollie McAfee. The two sisters have been counted among niv best workers and to my mind the undertaking is a most noble one. The location is ideal, and the inmates can certainly appreciate a season of quiet and rest after the trials of the schoolroom. It was my pleasure to officiate at the wedding of two of the old regime of 1912-13 last Thursday when Dr. Goodmon Holbert and Miss Velma Martin embarked upon the sea of matrimony. You doubtless remember his determination to study medicine. He has at last realized his ambition and is now the most prominent veterinary surgeon of this countv. Speaking of these members of our class, reminds me of other class-mates of whom I have heard reports recently. You have probably heard that Beulah Allen has joined the ranks of the militant suffragettes and has been creating quite a stir over the country. Her last escapade was pouring molasses in a mail box, which led to her arrest. Her trial came up last week and it might have gone hard with her had it not been lor the able speech in her behalf, delivered bv the counsel for the defense, Hon. K. L.Morrison, who is now one of the most prominent lawyers in the State. He first won dis- tinction m the famous breach of promise suit against Col. Edd Jeffery. Tne Colonel has devoted his Iile to scientific research and has presented the world with some useful inventions, most important of which is a collar button entirely incapable of rolling under the dresser. Miss Wallace claims that all preparations lor the wedding had been com pie ted jw hen the groom failed to put in an appearance. She was very positive about it and the only way it can be accounted for is by the Colonel's extreme absent- mindedness. However, Lorena does not seem to be taking it very hard, lor I saw her in the box with Mr. Johnson Thursday night. Mr. Lee C armack, another ol our old schoolmates, has just accepted the position of principal with Miss Buford Snoddy as his first assisstant. They are both well qualified and every one feels sure of a good school this next year. Last Saturday afternoon I recognized in a prohibition stump speaker Gus Spivey, who, as you will remember, was in the class of 1912-13 with the rest of us. It is reported that Osmer Karmer, who for several years attended the State University, is about to lose his mind over the study of the homestead law. . Miss kutli Doty is now in St. Louis, where she has the name of being a great beauty specialist. I suppose ou remember she was placed in the beauty page of the Annual when she graduated in 1913. I� ut back to the main point in my letter. I feel the need of a helpmate in my ministerial work more every day. 11 you feel that you can give up your stage career for love in a cottage, nothing would make me happier than to build the cottage. I anxiously await a decided answer. Ever your loving, Oscar Finlay.

We did not fully realize the strength of our common foe, until we entered the High School; twas then that we realized that it would take the best we could give to win. We bravely wrestled with Soph. Mathematics and are now toiling over Geometry, Cicero, etc., but, cheer up, fellow students, these will give way to others and in the future appear mere pictures in “Memory’s Art Gallery.” Study must be mingled with pleasure, sometimes, in order to obtain the best results; at least we think so. Last year we were rather solemn and obedient, but this year we seem to lx abounding in energy and some of it takes the form of pure mischief. We have been detained after school to answer for our misdemeanors anti at those times we were the worthy subjects of very inspiring lectures. Still we have some good qualities. Can anyone name them? We do nothing violent and have succeeded in leaving a fair record behind us. We are well represented in the various spheres of college life since we have musicians, poets, orators and athletes in our midst. I can only account lor our mischievous, fun-loving spirit by saving that we have a superfluous amount of school spirit. Soon we will reach the elevated position of Seniors, which will bring with its honors, many new and arduous duties, but when we “Jolly Juniors” of the class of 1914 shall attain the dignity of Seniors, may we not suffer from that painful swelling of the head, which often appears in the Senior year O!

We can see some at the broker’s desk; some in the hurry of the editorial rooms of a newspaper; some seated in the offices of the railroads with maps and plans before them; some in the court rooms pleading the cause of their clients or eloquently demanding the enforcement of the law; some, it may be, in the halls of Congress or in the Cabinet. But the fondest dream is when we behold a member of the Junior Class of 1913 as the Chief Executive of the nation, directing the affairs of this grand and glorious republic. Now all of this is possible, and looking over the past record of this class no one can deny that it is highly proba- ble. junior flbocm I siny: of a Class that long lias been Unto the world unknown. That has stayed together through thick and thin And has always better grown. Till now its prominence doth begin; The Juniors come into their own. It soon will Ik that all will hear The people ’round proclaim Unto all parts both far and near The ’13 Juniors' fame, And 'twill be music to the ear To hear each member's name.

And those who at election cast Their ballots for their choice, all meant To stand by “Shorty to the last. With Marion C. and Elver Stone, Vice Presidents first and second, respectively.

Sophomore Ibistory The happiest time of our lives at Graham High School was the days we returned to take up our studies in the Soph- omore class. That very embarassing time of beginners of the Freshman year had become a thing of the past and we were delighted to think that now we were “old students.” But during the four years of High School work, our number de- creased. Last year there were about thirty Freshmen; this year we are twenty lordly Sophomores. As a whole, the present Sophomore class is far superior to any second year class which has passed through this institu- tion. So if some years from now you hear of some great states- man, inventor, or other important person from Texas, stop a moment and find out whether he or she was not a member of tin- Graham High School Sophomore class of nineteen-thirteen. As the G. H. S. has raised its course, the members of the Sophomore class have shown themselves to be fully capable ot bearing the weight of greater responsibilities placed upon their shoulders and of coming the expectations of those who have planned so wisely and so well for them. It is inter- esting to note that only a small percentage of the members of our class are carrying benind them deficiencies. The Sophomore class is well represented on the field of athletics. We have members that have made good in both baseball and basketball. And, as it is only a few months until we will part for another season of recreation, let us remember our High School and strive to return in due time to take up the work as Juniors and put forth our very best efforts for the advancement of the G. H. S., and the class of nineteen-fourteen. Sophomore 0 oem We once were Preps, and Freshmen green. And 'twas not long ago. We wore the green that’s seldom seen, And, Gee! we were some show.

Sophomore Ipicpbccp One night I had a most remarkable dream about my classmates. If it were not for my being class prophet I would not lx telling it now. Here it is: I was possessed with a desire to make a tour of the United States and Europe. I made ready and soon was on my way. I first landed in Dallas and decided to go to the State Fair. I went to the automobile races and arrived toward the close of the race. The Marmon was in tin lead and crossed the line a safe winner. I went to shake hands with the driver whom to my surprise I recognized as Floyd Wool folk. Next I went to St. Louis. I arrived there on Sunday at «� a. m.: at 11 1 went to the Central Methodist Church, and heard a very good sermon by the pastor. Rev. Christian Stoffers. In Kansas City I met Richard Williams, the president of one of the largest packing companies in the country. Not feeling very well I decided to go to Geneva. Wis. to rest a few days. I walked a good deal in the country and in one of my rambles I came upon George IVideaux. the great doodle-bug hunter. We had hardly greeted each other when a rare June bug came sailing along and my friend suddenly left me. giving chase to it. While here I was suddenly taken sick and the hotel manager called in Dr. John Keeter. He gave me a pill to swallow that was as big as my head. I told him I didn't want to take it as I wanted to live in this world a little longer, but I needn't have wasted iny breath as he made me take it all the same. I soon got well and took the train for Chicago. In a short time I was sound asleep and was suddenly awakened out of a dream by someone's putting lemon juice in my mouth which was open. I saw the conductor standing by laughing and I hastily produced my ticket, lie laughed again and asked me if I didn’t know him. I looked a little closer and recognized my old friend Herschel Eddlcinan. On my arrival at Chicago I was hurrying from the station when I bumped into a person coming in. I was about to apologize when I recognized Richard Price who told me that he was the owner of the biggest skyscraper in the city. Later 1 was walking along State Street when I met Miss Kthel Self, one of Chicago's young society ladies. From Chicago I went to Washington to see the President of tin United States. .1. C. Hickman. lie put me under arrest for not coining to see him sooner. I got llori. J. W. Akin, one of the best lawyers in the city, to defend and was acquit- ted. After my acquittal the president made up by taking me to see the ball game between Washington and New N ork. It was one of the most exciting games I had ever seen. In the ninth inning the score stood 0 and 0. with Washington at the bat. There was a man on second base and two outs when Jim Porter came to bat. Two balls passed by and then one came which Jim liked. He gave one mighty heave and the ball sailed over the fielder's head for a home run. That ended the game with the score 2 to 0 in favor of Washington. In New York I went to the theatre and saw one of the best plays I had ever seen and which was now sweeping the country. In the leading actress I recognized Winnie Tankersley. In one of the intervals I looked around and in a box 1 saw Scarborough Mabry with one of the prettiest Indies in New York. From New York I went to Kurope on the steamship Imperator. The Captain was Andrew Jackson who made my trip very pleasant by letting me get sea sick. I arrived at Liverpool and went on to London by the next train. I was walking along one of the streets with my eyes on the pavement when somebody shouted to me to look out. I looked up just in time to dodge a brick which had been thrown at me by a suffragette. I was kept pretty busy then dodging bricks which had lx en let loose by the. by no means gentle, ladies. I walked on until I came to a large building out of which was issuing a loud noise. I went in to investigate and found that Miss Lilly Morrison was addressing a crowd of suffragettes who were making a noise like babies yelling in the night. I got out as quickly as I could. In going out I ran into Leah Stewart and she said. ‘How dare you! and then shot her list at mv nose. I had had enough of England so I went to Germany. I visited one of the schools in Berlin and found Lottie Bell Wallace to be a teacher of English. I walked out to the country and was admiring the beautiful scenery when 1 came upon Marie Cochran painting the landscape. On hearing my foot steps, she looked around and recognized me. We talked for some time and then as it was growing late we went back to the city. After a stay of a few days I went to Paris and from there to the village at the foot of Mt. Blanc. The next morning I engaged a guide. Zeral Birdwell. and with his help I got to the top of the mountain. I went on to Italy and in Venice had the pleasure of meeting Lovella Kddleman. We talked of old times and she told me that she was still an old maid and was touring Europe like myself. After a pleasant stay of two weeks. I started home and arrived without mishap. I awoke and found the sun streaming in at the windows and realized that if 1 didn't hurry 1 would lx late to school. jfreebmen CLASS ROLL BKULAH BELL JOE CAGLE SAM CASEY MERLE COLE JOSEPHINE CORNISH ETHEL CORNISH CATHERINE CRAIG GORDON DURHAM WILLIAM HAMILTON GREY HOWARD WILLIAM JOHNSON BERENICE MILLER ELOISE MORRISON VERDA MARTIN FAY PARSONS LEON PURSLEY HARDY PRICE NAT PRICE JESSIE ROGERS AMY ROBERTSON SIDNEY SELF LIZZIE SCHUSTER ETTA SCHLITTLER ALZADA TAGGART jfrcsbmcn ©fftccre GORDON DURHAM.

MOTTO: “Assequi Studio.” ’(Accomplished by study.) jfrcsbman IDistorv I lie Freshman class of the Graham High School of 1012-13 had an enrollment of thirty-four members. Several of this class started in the private school taught by Miss Leach, then united with their class fellows in the Fourth Street School for two .'ears In 1010 all were transferred to the High School building. ()n tlie seventh ol March our class was organized and officers, that we think well suited for their places, were elected. We may not be as far advanced in our studies as other High School classes, but our enthusiasm is as great, or even greater, than theirs, showing most commendable ambition to succeed in our school work and promote the general welfare of the class. Taking the girls separately, we find them interested not only in school work, but also in athletics of different kinds. We will doubtless hear favorable reports of them in coming years; while the boys are trying to prepare for future usefulness by cultivating their minds and laying up stores of knowledge and learning lessons with patience and perseverence. Some ol them are such successful ball players that possibly they might become professional. Aside from athletics it may be that some of them will do tilings which will cause the world to lie proud ol them. Our class is moving in harmony and overcoming ever v difficulty. Each member is eager and determined to press on, building up a character that will help to make the world better bv his existence. jfresbman Ipocnt The Freshman and His Lesson. “Mv lesson I had better learn Before I go to town.

That they will at some time be able to claim their equal station that as they think “Nature and Na- ture s (xod entitle them. They can see the glorious future when they shall be regarded as human beings. They will then be able to lord it over their successors as they have been done by the Sophomores of the present. Their chief grudge is against the Sophs because it is they that take- especial enjoy- ment in their persecution, yet they will hail with delight the day when they can occupy the same position and enjoy the same privileges. The old prejudices will be a thing of the past and the Sophomore Class ol 1 14 will be the greatest class on earth. tEbc Quartette BILL JOHNSON, ’lb, First Tknor. EDD C. JEFFERY, ’13, Second Tknor.

Later Mabry with- drew and his place was taken by Edd L. Jeffery. When the Quartette was reorganized for the year 1913. Wootton withdrew and was succeeded by Scarborough Mabry.

Jeffery, has sustained his rep as being' one of the best ball players that ever faced a High School pitcher. He formerly pitched but on account of his hard, regular hitting, Coach placed him on first base, and there too he has starred. His timelv hitting has won many of our games and in a pinch he can always be depended upon to do his duty. This is Edd's last year and he will surely be missed on next year's team. Gordon Di'kham. Perhaps the greatest find the Graham High has ever made in baseball circles was the “roping in of that country boy from Farmer. “Doc” is the best in these parts when it comes to playing shortstop. They never get too hard, and “Doc never fails to get his man at first. Not only in fielding and “pegging does he shine, for when a hit is needed, he is always there with the stick. “Doc has won himself a warm place in the hearts of his fellow students, which he will always hold. I his is only his first year, and it is expected that he will be back two more seasons to help retain our present standing and to add more laurels to his enviable reputation. Robt. L. Morkison. Robert Dee is fast and sure around second base and rarely ever does let one g« t bv him. He is also one of the team’s leading hitters and as such he has driven in many runs; is fast on the paths and the catchers are few and far between who can throw him out when he attempts to steal. Robert is liked by all teachers and students, and it is with profound sorrow that we think of this being his last year, for in his leaving, the Graham High will lose one of her greatest athletes. YY ii.i.iam Johnson. Hill is a phenomenal pitcher, scarcely ever granting his opponents even a scanty number of hits. In fielding, his position, he is second to none. In the games which Hill pitched this season his work has been extremely good, having lost only one game and that through the poor support of his team mates. Hill not only can twirl the ball, but he can hit as well. He never grows weary and is the most consistant worker in the club, and worthily deserving of the praise of his ardent admirers. Jot . C. ii.k. YY hen YVulsh left the Graham High, tin baseball fanatics were anxious over the prospects of finding another catcher, but with fortune on our side, we have not suffered greatly from the lack of one, for Cagle walked into that position, filling it in every game with credit to himself. His batting has been above the average, having several singles and doubles to his credit. Joe is nev- er without “pep and always keeps the team in winning spirits. The pitchers have confidence in him which fact adds much to their strength. Jennings Hkyan Hau. Jennings is there with the goods in baseball. His position is right field, which position he ably fills on every occasion. He has a good eye, is fast on the bags and has scored many runs with his timely singles. His fielding is above par and the “fans are not afraid when the ball is knocked in his direction. This is Jenning’s third year and we hope he will be with us again next year to chase flies in the right garden. George Pkideaux.—George, the player who always has the “pep,” is one of the fastest fielders in high school circles. No ball is too hard or no chance too difficult for George to handle and “It's in a well is the grandstand's expression when the ball sails toward center field. Fast as a fielder, he is also fast on bases, frequently beating out well directed bunts, and rarely ever being caught off his base. He is the safest hitter on the team and can always be depended on for a sacrifice hit Sam Casey.- Of Sam we heard from the fast playing Farmer team of last season. More than once has he pulled down long flies which won applause from the grandstand. He hits well and when ever he gets on a base he is almost sure to score. He, too. has the “pep and his coaching from the side lines has “rattled more than one team when our defeat seemed certain. He is truly one of the “stand-bys, and his presence in the Graham High next year will indicate another pennant-winner. J. Leonard Norman. Norman is a steady player, never hesitating, but flinging the “horsehide” with surprising speed which always gets the man at first. His recent batting, though not so good, seems to verify the statement that “he will come back.” With such men as Norman on third and “Doc on short, a ball will have to be a “goer to pass them.

By Marion Copeland “Good mornin to yez, Mr. O’Donnel.” “The same to yez. Mr. O’Bory, but phat makes yez smile so this mornin ? Has yer grandmither at Cork died and left yez her forchune? “O’Donnel can yez kape a secrit?” “Sure. Father Flaherty used to say I was the hardest cheild in the parish to worm a confession from; besides ye are fergittin that I wance held a position in the secrit service.” Upon this assurance of his friend’s ability to keep silent, O’Bory grasped him by the arm and led him to the barn of “O’Bory’s Dairy, Milk Guaranteed Pure.” Throwing open the door of a small back stall, lie pointed triumphantly to a sera win- starved calf, which stood shivering in a corner, and said: “That, sir. is my invention. It is the cheild of me brain. O’Donnel scrutinized the calf closely, but failed to find any- thing remarkable about it. It was not of a new breed, for it had all the markings and distinguishing characteristics of a holstein and it was not deformed; in fact it was in no way different from the average holstein calf, except, perhaps, it was a little more stunted. Meanwhile O’Bory continued: “It will revolutionize dairv- in’. It will make a inilvonare of your old friend O’Bory. By using ivory one can kape a cow widout gittin’ kicked over, nr losin’ his timper. It is so simple a cheild could manage it. It costs almost nothing to keep it. The lack of an invention of this kind has kept the dairyin’ indoostry from developin’ and added to the high cost of livin’. It is a step in the progress of civilization.” Seeing the blank expression on his friend’s face, he step- lied to the “revolutionizer of the dairyin’ indoostry”; thrusting his lingers into a small opening in the animal’s throat just below its jaws, he pulled out the end of a rubber tube. “Now, sec, whin I want to milk a cow I jist pull out this tube and let the critter go to suckin' the cow. The itlier end is jined to his eesophagus, so that the milk will pour into the pail I hold, instid of going the natural way. Whin he has milked about all the milk. I put the tube back and the milk goes into his stomick. There is only wan thing that bothers me about gittin' my invention patinted. Some wan told me a small work- in' model must be sent to the patint office. Now. I have shaunk thet animal jist as much as I can, and yit I am afraid he ain't small enough!” The True Story of the Disappearance of the Schoolmaster. By Ethki, Ski.f. The dim firelight reveals Brom Van Brunt and his grandchildren seated about an open fireplace. All are silent; evidently the children are waiting fora story, for the face of everyone is turned towards the old man who is gazing into the llames in a deep study. Nor do they wait Ion � -. Soon lie begins rather slowly, and as it seems to these who know him best, with a tinge of sadness in his voice. ‘•Yes, I am the Brom Bones you have read about; your grandmother was Katrina. ’ He is not like the Brom B nes of years ago; the recollection of those times seem to make him sad, nevertheless lie laughs heartily as he says it was a right good joke lie played on the schoolmaster. “I was angry because Katrina slighted me and danced with Ichabod at the party. I hen it was I determined to get rid of mv rival by fair means or foul, and since I knew of no fair ones that would serve the purpose I resorted to the foul. “When the ghost stories were being told I decided to play the ‘headless horseman. The story I told to scare the schoolmaster was this: ‘The Hessian horsem m is an arrant jockey. When I was returning home late one night from Sing Sing I was overtaken by the headless horseman. I offered to race with him for a bowl of punch, at which he gave his horse a kick with both feet making a most unearthly racket. We went dashing down the road, making the hills echo and the sparks fly from the rocks at our horses feet. I'd have won the punch too. for Daredevil beat the gobblin horse all hollow, but justas we passed the church bridge the Hessian bolted and vanished in a flash of tire. I could see that this made a deep impression on Ichabod. “When the party broke up I hastened to mv horse and was away to get a long black robe, which I put over mv head (in such a way as to appear headless); and having obtained trom a neighboring field a pumpkin, which I held in front of me, (my supposed head which I went in nightly quest of) I hastened to the brook. “Perhaps had I known that Katrina was going to turn him down (Heaven bless her! She told me of it afterwards), I might have relented; but it is more probable that I should not tor I was mad with jealousv. “Truly it was funny to see the schoolmaster as he tried to urge his horse on and to hear his vain attempt to sing. I have often wondered how I kept Irom laughing at his futile efforts to run away from me; and, indeed, it must have been a comical sight lor one to see me knock him oft his horse with the pumpkin just as we passed the bridge, at which place he expected me to vanish. and Brom Bones laughed heartily. “It was a mean trick I have tried to forget. ’ Looking once more into the tire a tender light comes into his eyes and he murmurs, “Katrina has been dead twenty years tonight. The children know that the story is finished and they leave him alone in his sorrow. 3ohcs One beautiful Sunday afternoon, not long’ ago, Mr. An- drew Jackson and Miss “Cat” Day were out for a walk when they met a gentleman friend. To be sociable Mr. Jackson said. “Beautiful day, isn t it To which the gentleman replied, “Yes, I do think she’s the prettiest one in the family.” In a paper on Lady Macbeth, written by a Senior, was found the following sentence: “Just before the murder of Duncan Lady Macbeth rushed into the chamber of her hus- band and shouted in a loud voice: ‘That darned stuff that made Milwaukee famous has made me drunk.’ ” Pkks. of Senior Class (shortly after Christmas): “We must get busy and decorate that church, and get things ready for Commencement. We only have four months now to attend to all this in.” “The Lost Cause.” The Anti-Lovers League has died. It’s members'lbrokegtheir vow. Oh! how they cried and sang as they cried, “I wonder who’sjdssing herjnow?” But now they’re free once more and Gee! They cuss that binding vow.
