N the year 1693, one Martin us Scriblerus, sometime an anti- quarian of broad renown. digging in the battle-stained plains of Platea, unearthed an ancient shield. This shieldt circular in shape, was incrusted with hardened earth and the rust of centuries. and held wrapped in its tongueless eloquence undiscovered treasures of knowledge . which might add to the world's enlargening appreciation of one of the finest gala days of its history. Much rejoicing and happy this Martinus heth himself with his priceless discovery to his home in a colder, less romantic clime. where an over-sedulous kitchen-maid fell upon the shield, ancient relic, and by dint of much scouring converted it into a common seventeenth century pot-lid. Oh, dear reader. play not the part of this foolish scouring-maid; but hethink you of the overflowing disappointment of poor Scriblerus. and strive not to destroy for yourself the brightness of a gilded ioHering. Here are faults, but we have sprinkled over them a few merits; here is a common thing - not a pot-lid, please, kind readert-hut a common thing, and we have endeavored to deck it out so you will not know it. We pray you, dear reader. as Abraham prayed of old : if there be ten righteous virtues in our book's favor, spare harsh criticism of it for their sake. During the making of this book we spent many dark hours. Bearing in our hands the mystic herb of gold, we visited the nether places, passed by the raging Furies. saw the three Fates in their mortal occupation. and met the three weird sisters working their hurlyburly of the deaths of kings. Going far- ther we found three sisters of whom the old myths have forgotten to tell us; they had each a powerful eye for shortcomings, and carried each a hammer to sorely knock what faults soever they saw in men. These we won to our un- dertaking; they sold themselves to us. or we ourselves to them : and if any of you, dear readers, be hurt by the unpleasing songs they utter, do you seek un- til you find the herb of gold, and then let your spleen boil over on the Sisters Three. Come not to us. for we shall not hearken unto ynu. Furthermore. the human race is a hard race, not always to the swift, not yet to the slow. This observation has been set to the tune of: uThe World Do Move, of which proof satisfactory may be found a hundredwheres, we hope. in this issue of THE HAMILTONIAN. ie X ha: TO Alrxanhvr anhurn 9mm, A. m.

Soper of Rome and '67, of 1. Chicago and New York, of Lakewood and York Harbor! If you judge faces aright, you will like it: if you know the man, you will love it. It does not blaze or glow very much; it is radianic. The Soper forbears were business folk. The father, out of temporary reverse, came to great business success. The Chicago Fire singed the Sopers; but it left foundations for new machinery and there were eyes to see the value of the wide-shadowed acres of Michigan, Wiscon- sin, Georgia and Oregon; there were also business skill and steadfast energy to gather and direct results. Alex. Soper, as a boy, was level-headed and far-seeking. He realized the force of the plea toward what is called a liberal education just for ones individual self. In 1863 he was ready for college, and the Principal of Rome Academy - in these days known hereabouts as Square - turned him to Hamilton. He had no strong, prophetic impulse toward any profession. He knew what his work in College should be and he attended to it. He was earnest and steadfast, so the four years, to 1867, strength- ened, broadened, polished his Character and life. He was ready not merely for some immediate specific task; he was ready for life-with truth and sweetness in it. He has no fantasies or fads; he has never syndicated his soul or forgotten a daily energy for his heart. 8 A C 4V. .' 8 AU 1! , 3 tr.

Graduates of Hamilton, and others not a few, will be glad that 1908 dedicates its work to Alexander Coburn Soper of '67. Mr. Soper was born at Rome, New York, june 6th, 1846, and after an efficient preparation entered Hamilton College at the age of seventeen. In college he was an all- around man, being appointed to Prize Stage his Freshman year and graduating with High Honor. He was a member of the first Board of Editors of the Hamilton Literary Maga- zine and played three years on the College baseball nine. He graduated with the respect of his Classmates and the esteem of the faculty. Thrown out upon the world he went to Chicago where for six months he was employed in a bank leaving this posi- tion to enter the lumber business as shipping-clerk and book-keeper. After two years he formed the partnership of Pond 8L Soper, a tirm which prospered abundantly and when, in 1884, the Soper Lumber Company was incorpora- ted, its annual sales were over one million dollars. Of this company Mr. Soper was first Secretary, then Vice-Presi- dent. and finally President since 1893. The company owns saw-mills in Michigan and Wisconsin, propellers and barges on the lakes and docks in Chicago and has won an enviable reputation for fair dealing throughout the country. In Chicago he is a member of the First Presbyterian Church and of the Union League Club. He was also President of the Chicago Lumber Exchange for one term. So much for what Alexander C . Soper stands for in the great world beyond the walls of our College; but what he is to his Alma Mater can be reckoned in no prosaic row of tigures. H is constant solicitude and anxiety for our welfare is not reducable to dollars and cents, although of these he has been prodigal in his gifts to us. Through the donations of himself and his brothers, we have the Gymnasium, con- 9 a .i 3.: IC'I;, . i . ,. V W lyru . :A: 167219- .. .. 5,5 I Vz'vg . , i . '. . 5 r .

The Edward Huntington Mathematical Prize Scholarship is his gift, named in memory of one of his Classmates, and now the magnificent Commons Hall stands as another monument to our benefactors, the Sopers. He has also given a scholar- ship endowment in Hamilton College yielding an income of one hundred twenty-six dollars for the Rome High School. One of the most striking and most laudable character- istics of the man is his modesty; no effort of his friends could induce him to affix his own name to the Mathematical Scholarship although it is the richest in College. No one knows exactly, unless it be President Stryker, where the money to tinish Commons Hall came from. Mr. Soper volunteered to raise the money and did it, no small part of it out of his own pocket as many of his intimate friends believe. Various alumni subscriptions which Mr. Soper has managed do not contain his name in their lists but the check sent has been generally forty or fifty dollars in excesslof the total listed subscription. There is another sort of loyalty which Mr. Soper has shown and which others of our alumni might well imitate; he has sent his two sons to Hamilton. This seems but a small thing but gives a twinge to the veterans of the Faculty and Trustees when the son of a Hamilton man does not follow in the footsteps of his father but seeks an education elsewhere. The College appreciates this form of loyalty as much as it does donations of money. To such a man as Alexander Soper the College and the student-body are at a loss to express their gratitude. His classmates say of him, We are all proud of Soper, and grateful to him because he does so much that We would hke to do if we could. The College has made him a Trustee and now the Class of 1908 adds its mite in this dedication. 10 xxx Went. tweet; VH5! 4 1k r- Mu xx : fm CHAUNCZY SHAFFER TRUAX 3111 Memoriam i t FT?! HE. College holds, and will hold, in loving mem- r e $2341 ory the name of Chauncey Shaffer Truax, LL.D., :LC of the Class of 1875. When he died upon the 9th of August last a noble heart ceased that always had beat warm and true for the College he loved. One of our sturdiest and most hopeful benefactors fell from that front rank where, for the past ten years, shoulder to shoulder, a little group of ten or twelve men have steadfastly and con- hdently backed Hamilton by their presence, their counsel, their proclamations, and their deeds. The beautiful Hall of Philosophy stands as the durable memorial of his loyalty. And that conjoined with many another large and ever-willing assistance. His was no lip- service. His pulses were stirred to generosity. Works Wrought with his faith. We does his dust lie in the fair plot, where so many faithful companions sleep well, and within the daily calls of the Chapel bell. Alas, he will come no more! The material for such trustees is scarce indeed. A large and lofty mind was there-he was one who saw far as well as felt strongly. He had no affinity for the trivial and the insipid. His perceptions were never bent or dull. Miserliness he detested. All his life, even in its earliest days of limiting hardships, he had devised liberal things and stood by them. And he was modest in it all. Shrewd he was and cap- able of resolute indignations: but a sunny affection and a genius for friendship grappled him to the souls of those who knew him. How much room there is in that Trustee's chair which he Hlled! O dear companion! why did you go? MELANCTHON YVOOLSEY STRYKER. A. Bq Hamiltdn. 1872. D. ll. Hamilton and Lafayette, 1889. L1,.

Our story is in part sad, for we mourn the Classmates left by the way. The few of us who remain are by that fact more closely bound. Few have there been to bear the burden but, side by side we have put our shoulder to the wheel and in this we glory. We have by turns been ridiculed and pelted, because we had no athletes. True, we had them not; but we have them and we made them. In times of need we have not been found wanting. In every branch of athletics 1907 has furnished her share of men and their work has been of the greatest honor to the class and College because we won through willing spirit and loyal effort rather than by brawn and muscle. In scholarship we have always sought to uphold the traditions of Hamilton. Our failures we have used as step- ping stones to higher merit and in the result we rest content. Why speak of our orators, or prize winners or our debating team? Their record is matched by few, surpassed by none. Nor have we striven along these lines forgetful of the broader life that makes Hamilton the only spot on earth. Cherishing the traditions established by our honored prede- cessors, we have endeavored to uphold them and hand them down unstained to those who shortly are to take our places. 25 We do not deceive ourselves by fondly believing that our place cannot be filled, but we do feel justified in assert- ing that there is not a place, be it on the athletic field, in the musical clubs, or in the social side of college life that will not lose by our departure. Yet none will miss us so deeply as we will miss our Alma Mater. These four years, so short in passing, have left their mark upon us. We go forth into the world not as thirty-two men, each to battle for himself: we go as a class bearing with us a love that will not alter. 26 .1 31x; :txfyi t -. x44 D ' :A w A :$ Aw ANhMJfo': m l exx .; TIM he Tt tux i i t if: r Agh. t1: Digitized by 600816 luv! m.

The history of our class, were it properly told, would indeed be an interest- ing story. We regret to say that the space allotted us is insuflicient to record with justice our glorious deeds and accomplishments, but bear with us, dear reader, while we attempt, in a way all too brief, to review the career of this class of all classes. Nearly three years of our course have passed and, as we pause and look back, we cannot help but feel a thrill of pride and satisfaction at the record we have made. Our contests, as underclassmen, and our inaugural of Freshman banquet, have all been adequately portrayed in the first two chapters of our history, so on to the days we have spent as gay young Juniors. When we, the battle- scarred veterans and victors of many a fray, returned to College last September, it was not with- out a feeling of regret that we saw our old enemies, the men of 1909, turn to face new antagonists. It was then that we came to the sad realization that our own scrapping history was forever ended. Nothing daunted, however, we turned our attention to coaching the newly-arrived F resh- men in regard to the affairs of war. It is enough to say that our wise advice fell on good soil. Not all of us who entered as Freshmen are here to enjoy the peace of Junior year. Some have gone out to 33 I begin the real battle of life. Others have gone from us to finish their courses at other colleges, but those of us who are left have always manifested that class spirit and unity of purpose which marked our underclassman years. Since assuming the dignity and responsibility of upper- Classmen, we have jealously striven to keep up old and u'me- honored traditions. We successfully piloted the Freshmen through the terrors of ll paint night and we have presided at many a llem. showf' But aside from class affairs, we have manifested College spirit along other lines. In all branches of College activity, whether it be on the athletic field, in social circles, in Y. M. C. A. work, or in the class-room, there you will find written at the top, above all, our names. Swiftly and happily have the days come and gone since we last moved up in Chapel, and indeed since we entered. We can hardly realize that, since hrst the Campus rang with oilr yell. nearly three years have passed. Very soon now we shall again move up, and for the last time. The joy of being Seniors will not be unaccompanied by the thought that too soon we must go out into the wide world, and Hamilton days must become but an ever-present and fondly Cherished memory. May we as Seniors wield the paddle of authority fittingly, and ever with regard to the good of Alma Mater. 34 3?: e k x 's fat 45 :3! Jae. i ith'JK x . Digitized by 600816 IV.

The proof of this is the only other thing necessary. - Square says it is true, and Prexie, O marvels! agrees with Square. In fact, so say they all of them. Even Cupid Grove timidly offered the opinion that dis glass is der greadest yed, and Cupid knows. Any man with the nautical knowledge that our diminutive Cap. possesses could tell a gold nugget from a fresh Citron any day; and although we were his first love, we do not think that archery influenced Cupid,s judgment. But for all that these, though highly important, are merely personal opinions. ' Take athletiCSeFootball. Did not one-third of the men awarded H certificates this year bear '09 after their names? That is one instance only, but it is typical. The M usical Clubs could never have fared so well without their Sophomore delegation. We broke a record with our Sophomore Hop, opening up a new social bonanza by our enterprise. At least, it can- not be refuted that the Sophomore Hop of 1909 surpassed all previous. And that, in truth, is our specialty: if we can- not do anything else we can smash records in most things. We also inaugurated the formality of staying up all night before all inter-Class tete-a-tetes-an incomparable formula for solving all class consolidation problems, and it was by virtue of this form of procedure that we gained our rowing prestige. egg; i autis- M 49 Hamilton College has graduated many classes and has borne proudly a reputation for high mental culture; but it was for the class of 1909 to Wield its specialty here again and knock one more record on the head-scholarship. That is nothing to boast of, say many. Perhaps not. Yet one or two assert that learning is what we come to college for. Thus, of record-fracturing versatility 1909 is the very essence. We have tried to lead the Freshmen, but a little resistance has somewhat handicapped our success. Never mind though. Next year we shall lead the F reshmen legiti- mately and well. By and by, maybe, we shall slate still another record-in the number of men graduated. Still farther in the unknown beyond we may take the Who's Who,' palm. Who knows! However, we are Hamilton to the core and, after all, that is what makes a class what it is. 50 4:1 131.1;2; . Lg, f .ul :' H w; -,' tiff??? Vwbni w hQ x - mfg, 3 Afgwm .. .

The ensuing remarks are an attempt to tell the truth 1n a way which will gain the sanction of the Deity. Never before has there been such a F reshman Class, never before one endowed with so many and such varied talents. To be sure, numerically we were a disappointment, due in part to the scoring done by the new rule regarding conditions-four home runs in the first inning. But, if we are few, we have a high standard of membership. We would not have it otherwise and we say with Henry V., The fewer men, the greater share of honor. Speaking of honors, it would not be out of place to mention some of our achievements. We have given the Gymnasium a much needed wrestling mat. The Chapel rush was won by us against the largest Class in College. We have participated. both as principals and spectators, in many a good gym. show. The F all Track Meet was an overwhelming victory for nineteen-ten; Not one branch of College activity has failed to be supported by us to the limit of our power. The Athletic teams find F reshmen out for every practice doing their level.best. The Lit. draws no small portion of its contents from our incipient literary geniuses. The Musical Clubs contain as many Freshmen as representatives as any of the higher classes. Even Life, that stem advisor of new- 55 comers. has treated us with kindness and consideration. for the eight Freshmen contesting for positions on its staHC have turned in so much copy that the position of Editor has be- come a sinecure, and a position on the Board a hard-fought honor. As we strive, and work, and fight, the Hamilton spirit is becoming a part of us; the more we stay here and the harder the knocks which we receive, the more we come to understand what it means to be a Hamilton man. No one can gainsay us, when we make the claim that thus far we have nobly lived up to the traditions already so dear to us. Looking forward we would say that, as we have begun, so shall we finish-a credit and honor to dear old Hamilton. 56 Digitized by 600816 Elm 3Frrzzulzman $15155 Galore- NAVY BLUE AND GRAY 12211 R?!

Yet there is not a man on College Hill but will say emphatically that it was a success. When Captain Schwartz and Coach Halliday called for candidates only three H men responded. From these and from the scrub of 1905.. with little new material, Coach Halliday picked a team at which no Hamilton man had reason to blush. Picked as it was. of green material, it could not be expected that, early in the season, consistent team work would develop. ln- deed. the Rochester game was the first in which the full varsity played. Of greater disadvantage was the lack of weight of the team. Averaging less than 155 pounds and outweighed in every game by from 10 to 35 pounds per man, Hamilton showed such grit against Cornell and Syra- cuse as to call forth praise even from opponents; taught Rochester a lesson in Hamilton spirit, and outplayed the Colgate missionaries until worn out by beef. For these results the Hamilton spirit was responsible. which prevailed under the greatest difficulties of injury and discouragement, and it was rare when there was not three full teams 0n the field. The scrub made this possible and are not to be forgotten. Also the College owes a heavy debt to Coach Halliday. He is a gentleman. Every Ham- ilton man wishes him well. It was the Hamilton spirit that made every man strive for the HOId Lady on the Hill. May other teams, more strong in brawn, take a lesson. Love of Hamilton inspired every man and Hamilton is proud of them. 89 C aplam , M mmgrr. ll, Schwartz. '07 lg. Swelman, '07 r, VViHiams. '08 rg. Osborn. '09 Barrows. ,07 VVilson.

The only blot on its record was the loss of the first game on April let to the U tica Free Academy team, 1-0. It was a tluke, and the less said about it the better. The Theologs from Auburn played here a week later and were beaten 745. The game was not at all brilliant. On May 5th the team went to Schenectady to be beaten by Union, 9-4. The game was lost through costly errors, the players at times exhibiting a lamentable tendency to rise, as one opposed to slang put it. Rochester came down here the 8th and was beaten 10-2. This game was interesting only on account of the score. although the team played like veterans. Hohart was easy on the 11th, being beaten 13-5. Colgate came over the 15th and played one of the best games of the season. The teams kept tied three innings. then Colgate forged ahead on several senseless errors. In the eighth and ninth our team came to earth again and very nearly won from our neighbors. 0n the 18th Middlebury lost to us. 10-5, in a loosely played game. On the 24th. the western trip began with a defeat at Syracuse. 7-2.:1fter a well played game. That was :1 hard one to lose. At Geneva, the next day, Hobart again was easy and we won, 11-2; then the team went on to Rochester 92 where they met their Waterloo. Haven did not show his usual form and had to leave the game in the second inning. Brown filled his place well, considering the fact that he had pitched the previous dav. 0n lune lst the best game of the season was played on the Hill with the Union team. We gave U mon three nuns. and m the ninth inning they Were ahead. We came to but and tied the score. Neither scored in the tenth, hut in the eleventh inning Union won. 9-5, by good luck and pinch hitting. The last game of the season, with Colgate, was can- celled on account of rain. Coach Watson turned out a team which played good hall all the time. although not undefeated. Ferris was :1 good captain and handled the team well. We shall miss him. Brown, Clark, Smith and White deserve mention fm their consistent work throughout the season. Financially the season was not all that might have been wished; not quite paying expenses. Manager Kuolt had more games than previous managers and larger guarantees to pay for home games. This. coupled with the fact that the College was unusually chary with its subscriptions, put the balance on the wrong side. However, this was no fault of his and he deserves all credit for his efforts. Frank Brown, 07. is captain of the team for 1907, and A. H. Holley. '08. is manager. With only three men lost. they have every requirement for a good team. 0 ' m 5;? OFFICERS Captain. . . . H. L. FIERRIS, '06 Mmmgrr, . 0. W. KUOIXI', '07 VARSITY p.

At the first call for regular prattice. a large squad began work in the Gymnasium and, by the beginning of Spring term. the team was getting into very good shape. Coach Watson arrived soon after the Easter vacation and immediately started a system of individual training which materially helped the team. He gave all his time, and, by getting men who were trying for the same events onto the lield together, but at the same time keeping the squads small, he managed to give each man the best possible training and build up an evenly balanced team. The idea of a training table for track men was also a new one and proved to be a help to the team. Some new men showed up in the lnterclass meet, and the blood we drew from St. Lawrence l90-27l served to prove that the team was one of the best in several years. On Decoration Day two records were broken by Hamilton men. In fact. it has been three or four years since a Hamil- ton team has made as good a showing for the season. If it had not been necessary to cancel the Colgate dual meet, the College would probably have seen one of the closest meets of several years. And the chances were as much in favor of Hamilton as Colgate, in spite of their famous C astleman. This year, though several good men have graduated, we have a good bunch back again and an excellent season is looked for. One thing is certain. The more meets, either Interclass or with other colleges. the better will be the team. For when there is something to work for, better work is done. ijhilfjp ear W k HIV 96 . a vx. ii T; Hit i I V VI: v 1:23:ng ; .

The game was fast throughout and a fine exhibition of basketball. Rochester beat us on their floor, but lost here 29 to 23. Neither game was par- ticularly exciting. Union lost both games to us although they had a fast team. We beat them on our floor 29 to 22. in the last game of the eastern trip. After the team had been on the road four days they pulled out in a garrison finish at Schenectady, winning 22 to 19. With Colgate and Syracuse this year's team made the best showing ever made by a Hamilton team on their respective Hoors. We lost both return games on our floor. Syracuse had a hard job to win 28 to 36. The last game of the season, with Colgate, might have had a far different outcome if Captain Kuolt had been able to play. They won 32 to 18. The eastern trip was a success in every way. Against Williams the team made a fine showing, holding the score 27 to 15. This was excellent when the strength of Williams' team is considered. Against Wesleyan and Brown, who had much heavier teams, we lost 39 to 7, and 33 to 6. The last game at Schenectady the team won. 102 Our oppon- 4. ml. Too much praise cannot be given Captain Kuolt for his work with the team. Himself the only veteran player left. he had to drill raw players into a team. With no coach to aid him the diHiculty of his task was increased. Through- out the season his steadiness served to keep the players together and pulled the team out of many a hole. Manager Gordon conducted the season very successfully and brought the department out with money ahead. George Smith, '08, is captain for next year, and Williams. '08, is manager. With many seasoned players in College they have prospects for a brilliant season. 103 If , I, E 1 ' a 1 ? 1 E1111: Eaaknth E23111 OFFICERS Captain, M mmgrr. VARSITY If: P. H. Wench. '09 rf U. W.

Opponents 411. 104 Emmi-z: ?EL-aturg W ENNIS in 1906 was a grand success. Never be- fore has the College as a whole taken so much interest in this branch of Athletics. The matches were all interesting and, when we lost, we went down fighting in true old Hamilton style, and this after all is the true end and aim of College Athletics. We would not have it believed that we always lost. Far from it. We defeated Syracuse on our own court and only a timely rain saved our friends from Colgate from :1 very severe heating. The team played consistently and steadily. There was little grandstand tennis to be seen, but a persistent spirit and cool head-work that often turned seeming defeat into victory. ln Captain Sicard the team loses a man who never lost a match during his College course, surely an enviable record. We lose also with the Class of 1906 two other members of the team. This leaves a dearth of seasoned players, but with Day, '07, at the helm and plenty of good raw material in College, we may look forward to an unusually successful season in 1907. 105 OFFICERS Captain. . . . .

If the last season was a success. N we are at loss for the word adequate to Character- ize this year's performance. Surely this season has witnessed the breaking of all previous records and has established :1 precedent that will long stand. There has been something: doing all the time. Concerts have succeeded each other with alarming frequency. T0 the leaders in particular, the College owes its appreciation of the success with which they have handled a no cinch job. As leader of the Glee Club. Simmons has filled a dilhcult position in a very able manner. He has developed much. raw material and left :1 line prospect for next year. The result speaks for him. Trippe, with the motley crew at his disposal, has done wonders. Out of a bunch of scrub players he has developed a club to which it is a real pleasure to listen. An unfortu- nate accident has prevented him from putting the finishing: touches to his work, but under the leadership of Massee the Instrumental Club bids fair to shine on uninterruptedly. For Meeker we could say a great deal. That is not neces- sary. We all know what the Hamilton Clubs have done in the past and what has been done this year. 11June, ever jovial and goud-natured. has done well. Future managers will have to hustle to sustain precedent in this respect. From beginning to end the season was an innovation. A concert was given during Fall term and in Utica, too. The Clubs were just a little raw and profited much by this 1 5L 111 early performance. The old reliable concert in the Scollard Opera House was held a few days previous to the Northern trip. It was on this trip that Trippe's ardent disciples held a seance enroute which the passengers had all the appearance of keenly enjoying. June was not on the job as usual here and forgot to pass the hat. Perhaps, though, that was wisdom. On this trip concerts were given at W'atertown. Lowville and Carthage. Numerous social events were ex- perienced. 0n Washingtmfs hirthdav the Clubs went to Little Falls. A reception and a dance were enjoyed. That we were appreciated there is no doubt if one recalls the news- paper comments. Even Life waxed enthusiastic and quoted a Little Falls paper to the effect that ii the Hamilton boys were a highly moral lot of young men, etc..etc. lThat was so good that we had to send it home to the folks.l llion came next. The same success and its usual pleasant social events. The Easter trip we can only forecast. Never be- fore have the Hamilton Clubs attempted such an under- taking and for its success, which cannot be doubted, the College is indebted to the various alumni and the untiringr eHorts of the manager. The trip contemplates. Gloversville. Schenectady, Albany, Hudson, Poughkeepsie, Tarrytown, Yonkers, New York, Brooklyn and Binghamton. About thirty-tive men will forego the pleasures of going home and make the trip. First-Class concerts will be given on all occasions. Such a trip will do much toward attracting the attention of prospective collegians toward the advantages Hamilton offers. The influence of this sort of thing is im- measurable. In our Athletics we are forced to contend with larger institutions at a disadvantage. That does not advertise the College much. We can have as erlicient and competent a musical organization as any College if the fel- lows will buckle down and do the work. That is what they have done. 112 051.22 Qllub M anagn', Ltadrr, FIRST TENOR E. M. Massee. J. S. Fitch. W. B. Simmons, A. F. Osborne, H. G. Getman, L. O. Coupe, M. F. Hastings. FIRST BASS C. H.

It was the most suc- cessful of any in years, both in numbers and spirit. Scoon, f07, president of the institution, gave the official address of welcome. Dr. Stryker followed with an interest- ing talk, seconding Scoon,s welcome and urging the Fresh- men to grasp every opportunity here on the Hill. Schwartz. ,07, captain of the football team, spoke on The Value of Athletics. Dr. A. P. Saunders then favored the fellows with a violin solo. Mr. Safford, of Yale University, was present and interesn'ngly described the work of the Student Volunteer Missionary Movement. Refreshments were served later in the evening. The fellows closed the reception with several routing songs and yells, the kind which have made Old Hamilton famous for her spirit and good fellowship. 132 Aeewt t :Wgw hem As:- wag e- .23 e wit, ., 3w wt 7mg- thy, M h: '43 w ft. .2; MNK- 1 x u . gm.

Desolate P Yes, but for a tiny a ' housetimidly showingitsrough out- line-an alien to its surroundings. x I Alone on the porch sat a girl with bowed head. Her attitude was meditative and sad. Occasionally she would arouse her- self straining her eyes in the vain endeavor to pierce the gloom about her. She had the expectant air of one who awaits another, but hour after hour passed, and the silence was unbroken by any human sound save her own troubled breathing. The soft, half imperceptible noises of the night struck her ears. but with none of their supposed quieting eEett. The drowsy hum of the insects, the whispering of the gentle wind through the waving grain, all were unheeded. She was thinking of the rush and bustle of the city-of Life- that life she had known but knew no longer. It hardly seemed possible that two years ago she was in the midst of it all, the very centre of that gay, mad world. Its pleasures, which then had seemed so trivial. so unim- portant, so useless now loomed with unwarranted promi- nence in her memory-they seemed a vital part of that vague, delicious dream of the past. 153 x a wmw .l'i 2 Nsagbi'h' at , 46 s ththQ- 13w t, ' HW s V x x K D t , 'i- . .'Z V; -' v r; f? 9; ifrbl'z in.

'.- ?'ffi Slowly the whole panorama of her former life passed .7 i r' before her. She saw herself the petted darling of a wealthy i ' i family. She remembered those tirst days at school: how with pride filling her little heart, she had come home one afternoon and repeated before her admiring parents her first i I .i itpiece. How proud they had been of her! Then came 2 ' 4' the jolly high school days and the even jollier college life. 5 She thought how. in her Senior year. there suddenly had appeared to her a glimpselot' what Life really meant-she had seen what her part in the great work-a-day world was to 5 beeand it was a useful one. After college came a trip ' n' abroad and then society. in the gayest set of the big city, which utterly destroyed her college glimpse of higher ideals. One day jack had appeared. She could see him now as he had looked on that first morningetall. dark. athletic with. an earnestness on his Clear bright features that was refresh- ing after the long line of frivolous youths whom alone, till now, she had known.

Thus it was that her earlier ambitions. :- neared realization. Then came the marriage just two years .t ago tonight. During the second week of the wedding trip 1 t .. .7, word had suddenly reached them of the serious illness of , ' 7 Jack's father.

Poverty had come. With brave resolution they had turned their faces westward to the sole remnant left them, a big western ranch, far removed from civilization. And this was Life+this daily struggle with nature, this constant combat for the bare necessaries of existence. H ow could one apply the higher laws of ethics here in the wilder- ness? Thedead monotony seemed stifling. :1: :E: :3: ti: Just as the first rosy light was Bushing the eastern sky a slight sound came from an inner room. The mother started quickly to enter the house. At almost the same instant, far in the distance, she heard the faint gallop of hoofs.

H EY were talking mattersiover at the club. Outside was stormy blackness, through which the lights showed faint and blurred. while a driving rain rattled at the windows. Matterson. the eye-man. was the leader of discussion. He swallowed his Scotch at a gulp, and rapped the glass defiantly on the table. Matter- son's vast jowl had Hushed to the argument. and his shaven jaw thrust forward to an uncompromising angle. No Sir, he declared, emphatically. ii That man Kessler hasn't the backbone for his convictions. Why, see here- until a week ago, he fought for the Bill-Cut his clinics to work on the thing, and sat up nights preparing interviews -took it asan insult if a man suggested the 'quality of mercy,' or pointed out the bloody absurdity of the scheme-and now heis hedging like a damned coward, and trying to be rid of his bargain. i Breakdown ?'-that's all rot, if Phillips thereill pardon my saying it. The manis in a blue funk, that's all. Why. confound it, he's working at a hotter pace than ever. Matterson sank back in his chair, and glared a Challenge at the circle. Exactly so-it only proves my point. Stetson-Phil- lips took up the gage with languid interest, holding the slen- der stem of his glass between his fingers, and regarding the golden liquid through half-Closed eye-lids. iiThe pace, as 158 V, you put it, is the prime cause of Kessler's recanting. One hardly expects consistency from a man who racks his nerves as Kessler is doing. The attitudes of the circle showed that this argument had gone home. There's something in that, too, assented old Burman, 0f appendicitis fame, and the others murmured approval. But Matterson remained unconvinced. Well, whatever his condition may be. that speech this afternoon was a rank equivocation, he contended, doggedly. it Kessler stuck to his Bill fast enough- until there came a Chance at the House. Don't blame him for hedging the reputation of having tried to kill OH poor devils by the wholesale-with Osler,s hobby as a horrible example-but he ought to have thought of that sooner-here, a peg, Wilkins-talkings dry. You'll all join me in a peg? That's .right-pegs around, Wilkins. He brought forth a fat : vgold-banded fountain pen, and scribbled his name on the card. uYou'll admit Kesslers in bad shape. though, Matty, .said Pharis, caressing the white orchid on his lapel with fing- ers Albrecht Durer might have envied-Pharis, who won the admiring gaze of the boulevards by his devotion to his tailor, and the reverential awe of his profession by the un- canny dexterity of those same tapering digits. ti Something has strung him as tight as a tiddle-looks fifty-five, at least. 071 doit rl1erclzer la femme, I fancy. Le: femmex, perhaps, Stetson-Phillips suggested. ttThere's worry in numbers. it No! A growl from Pharis. . tiNo-why? drawled Stetson-Phillips, with an irrita- ting elevation of the eyebrows. h Because Kessler isn't a cad, rumbled the 0bjector, lif he lmJ funked the t Incurables' Bill. He's head over heels 159 -a about Mrs. FitzMartin, who appears to prefer a painter- chap. This with the air of finality. Well, you know, Kessler sowed his 'oats in days by- gone, Stetson-Phillips rejoined. He was always secretive, was Kessler. I remember, for instance - But here Wilkins appeared with his tray, and the reminiscence was lost in a general gossip of other things. :3: :i: :5: :i: The subject of their discussion was plodding his way through the storm. There were hansom cabs in plenty, with drabbled horses, and drivers engaged in the vain endea- vor to effect a junction of coat-collar and hat-brim. But one can think in a hansom cab- Kessler did not want to think. The sting of the raindrops was balm to his throbbing temples -the squelch-squelching of his soggy shoes lulled him by its monotony. To save his life, he could not down a Fear that was in his heart, but the lights and sounds of the street seemed a refuge from his thought. When the Fear became too insistent, he stopped short with eyes closed, and held himself stiny, finding comfort in the fact that he could stand. He was grateful for the arc-lights at the crossings. Once an urchin crying extras pattered full tilt round a cor- ner, carromed on Kesslefs knees, and fell in a sprawl to the sidewalk, scattering his wares abroad on the wet flags. Kess- ler picked him up, wondering vaguely at the lightness of the gnomish little body. silenced a preliminary wail by the bestowal of a gleaming coin, selected the driest of the out- raged journals, and tucked it beneath his overcoat.

At the danger, Kessleris weary brain again awoke to chaos.

He reached to take her hand, but a rapier-pang stabbed through him, and then-he was in his study, with a hide-bound book across his knees. He glanced at fragments of the close-cramped print- . . . reeling or falling witli eyes closed, or in darknm' . . . dextruc- tion of tilt reflexe: . . . intercostal pain: . . . alibi: stage, quite incurable -and here a line of typewritten words blotted out the vision. i Mm'e elimination on Thursday. lf Sanity questioned you promise assistance - Padgett ' And at this point a surge of the Fear would master him; he would stop once more for the test, close his eyes-and see the woman,s face. It seemed a monstrous thingethis death in life, with life become so sweet. Kessler remembered a case in Charing Cross-a poor devil of a subaltern, lying uncouthly twisted beneath the spotless coverlet. He had pointed the man out, by way of example, to Padgette young Padgett, the credulous. the enthusiastic, standing Hushed with triumph on the threshold of his powers-and then had come the query of old Burman-ii who are you that you judge of life and death ? -and a week later he, Kessler, had found himself face-to-face with that subaltemis Destiny. He remembered the drawn face. the hopeless eyes pleading for death-and yet -to die ewhen Denise FitzMartin loved him. 161 iv, Padgett would introduce the Bill, of course. Equally of course, the Bill would ruin Padgett, though Padgett would not foresee that. Padgett had not yet outgrown his ideals- Kessler understood ideals; he could make them serve his purposes. Contempt, the hysterical indignation of women and clergy, the sneer of the continental press. the derision of Americaeif these were all, Padgett would be very fortunate. On the other hand, it was not inconceivable that a madhouse might in the end enshrine the boys ambitions. His own influence must be discounted, Kessler thought-sensation- alists might cry hypnotism, but hypnotism is a bugebear. Yes, he was quite safe in Padgett's shadow. But if the mir- acle should be-if the Bill should pass. . . . He was sacrificing Padgett to the General Good-or so he had reasoned a week before, when the sacrifice seemed both natural and just. Tonight, the justice was less certain -the General Good less perfectly assured. Kessler won- dered if elimination were not, after all, a bloody chimera. Knowing himself incurable, he realized that incurables might have a reasonable claim upon life. Better to die slow- ly, with the light of his love in his eyes, than a white-walled room, and an ether cone . . . at that point, the Fear again obsessed him-when he recovered from it, he found him- self before his lodgings. As Kessler slowly Climbed the stairs, at resolution was forming itself in his mind-he would wire Padgett in the morning, and stop the introduction of the Bill. PART II. The grate was a bed of fading coals, that glowed through the stifled silence. Kessler rang for his man-then remem- bered his man,s petition for the evening. He swore softly to himself, and threw aside his wringing coat, tossing the limp extra in the direction of the easy chairegroped his 162 , v . . g . x w r. .xsngClRm-u - a a e ' il' A '41..

The wind had fallen. and the empty streets were dead-save for the drip of eaves. the night was still. Matters took on a brighter aspect in the tirelight. Kessler reviewed the labors of his project-the essays, the interviews, the enlisting of Padgett-then the doubt, and the vacillating retractions, as his own condition forced itself upon him. Kessler wavered. To surrender-now . impossible. It would make him the laughing-stock of the profession. As for Padgett-when he himself was doomed . . . He concluded that his resolve had been hasty -he would not send the wire to Padgett. But Denise- lzz': Denise-no, he must not think of Denise. He reached to the incandescent, and opened up the extra, damp and redolent of printer's ink-then gasped, as the headline met his eye. ll Incurables to Die -it ran, it Elimination Bill Receives Royal Signature -Padgett Electrifies Parliament - Slaughter Already Begun e He read this several times. slowly and painfully, like a schoolboy with his first stint of Homer, or a delver in cuneiform inscriptions. -The meaning at length forced itself upon his mind-all justihcations of it crumbled and fell in chaos, as he realized the thing he had done. . ll In a four-hour speech of unprecedented eloquence.

He dragged a heavy bookcase to the panels, and reinforced it with his study-table. There was a revolver in the drawer- the feel of the cold metal steadied him. He wheeled his desk around to face the door, laid the weapon before him, and began to write, forcing his hand to firmness by a supreme eEort of the will. My Denise -he began. At the first touch of his pen, a babble of voices surged up from the street, but Kess- ler would not lift his head.

So Padgett had come-to see him play the coward-struggle hopelessly against his own decree . Kessler returned the pistol to the drawer, shoved aside table and bookcase, and wrenched at the wry-bent key. uI was writing a letter, gentlemen. He said it almost calmly. it Now I am at your service. They entered-Padgett in drenched evening clothes, for he had hurried all uncovered through the rain. Ghastly for the stillness of it, they filed hat in hand through the down with heads bowed, and rain-streaked faces white and grave. Kessler knew them, every one-even the last, whose leather cap sat brazenly above the leer of his twisted visage-for it was the man he had noted at the crossing. They closed around him in a circle, the faces of his Clinics-young BrainardeKessler remembered the boy's first horrors at vivisection-Stratham, the life of the anatomy classes, Carheart, his chin eaten with acid, and the rest.

And then there is another matterethis' I kind and, what is more, it isn't true. They seem to have no idea of respect for their elders. Nor is this attitude of dis- respect confined to 1910.

Never did I expect to see men, sane, thinking men, men in possession of all of their faculties-barring that of the College la sample of the faculty's jokesl, Hamilton College men descend to, or, even for a moment. condescend to consider such a proposition. For a moment think of what this Union has done for us. Compare the sallow-faced, thin-chested men of the past generation with the clean-limbed. broad-shouldered young giants of whom you are samples.

HAKESPEARE has told us that the world is a stage where every man must play his part, and some are sad ones. The lives of most men are a series of social comedies, more or less interesting, but some few become prominent as the great tragic actors; these appear but 011Ce upon lifes stage and when thex depart the onlooker lS seized with an involuntary feeling of awe and wonderment. Such a man was Walter Butler, the scourge of the New York frontier during our American Revolution. His chaff acter was a peculiar one, combining the most elegant graces with the most degraded lust for blood. In the drawing- room Butler was known as the most polished and scholarly gentleman in the Mohawk Valley, and this was no small thing, for many a gay company assembled at Johnson Hall where the aged Sir William Johnson, the King's Indian Agent, held open house for the dignitaries of His Majesty's American Colonies. Butler possessed a fine voice and con- siderable musical ability, accomplishments always an aid in society and in his case joined to a profound and romantic melancholy which made him even more popular with the ladies. He appeared to be a man with a mysterious past. sovereign specific with women, especially when joined to 11 fine figure and a handsome face. To a few careful obser- 179 vers, however, there appeared at times a hard, cruel glint in his sombre black eyes that boded ill for anyone who should cross him. At the time when trouble between England and her colonies seemed inevitable, Butler was the confidential secree tary of Sir William johnson. The baronet, failing in years. had left more and more to his secretary the management of Indian affairs until Walter Butler was as well known to the Sachems of the Six Nations as Sir William had been. H e gained great influence over the red men, was adopted into one of their clans and sat at many a momentous coun- cil fire. Simple natures, whether red or White, seemed drawn to Butler by a powerful and insidious charm and were blind to the unscrupulous villainy which lurked in his inner nature. Sir William Johnson desired to keep the Iroquois neu- tral in the coming struggle, for he knew the useless horrors of Indian warfare and wished to spare the settlers the miseries of border raids. Walter Butler had no such scruples. Cruelty to him was a matter of course, soon to become :1 source of fiendish pleasure. Just what caused it no one knows but there was a quarrel and Johnson dismissed his secretary. This was the first step in the metamorphosis of Butler. His pride was injured, his passionate nature yearned to retaliate and thislonging more than zeal for his king led him to work against his old superior by every means in his power. Death, which does and undoes the work of all men. seemed now to be on his side for, at the critical moment, Sir William Johnson passed to the reward his long and illustri- ous services so richly merited. Upon which side of the Revolutionary struggle he would have stood is an open question, but his untimely death left in the hands of his profligate son, Sir john, together with Colonel Guy John- son, the conduct of Indian affairs, and behind them, humili- 180 - 3: , in- x; . i - D m't vtw ated, angry, vengeful on account of the persecution he received from his Whig neighbors, stood Walter Butler with the Six N ations at his back. Forced to liee to Canada alongr with his friends, Sir John and Colonel Guy, all the energy of his Fiery nature was exerted to recruita band of Tory refugees as cruel and relentless as himself, which later earned undying dishonor under the name of Butleris Rangers. The British plan of campaign for the year 1777 must have delighted Butleris heart, for it assigned him to the force of Colonel Barry St. Leger which was to ascend the St. Lawrence, and landing at Oswego to sweep the patriots from the Mohawk Valley, finally affecting a junction with Burgoyne at Albany. Here was an opportunity to be grandly revenged upon his erstwhile neighbors. Oriskany would have broken a less indomitable man than Walter Butler. The complete wrecking of his Indian allies and the shattered condition of his own forces after the terrific encounter, neighbor against neighbor, in the fatal swamp, were enough to discourage any but a superior man. And it must be admitted that Butler was such a man, how- ever much his perserverance and energy were misdirected by the extreme violence of his passions. He returned to Canada, reorganized his command, and during the next four years, with the aid of his Indian ally, Joseph Brant 0r Thayendenega, he richly earned for himself the sinister name of Red Beast. At the end of that time he could look back upon a career of carnage that would have sated the vengeance of an Oriental despot. He could see the blackened and charred ruins of homes, men tortured and mutilated, women and little children ruthlessly scalped by men with blue eyes and fair hair in the war paint of savages but perpetrating cruelties at which even the hardened Mohawks balked. He could point to bounties paid for exterminating human beings like ravenous beasts. The 181 Inquisition was the work of men misdirected, religious zeal. of terror, conducted by a man whose motive was a desire animated by a lofty, if Cherry Valley crowned a reign for bestial revenge. Nor can the fiendish work be laid at the door of the savages. Thayendenega did his best to pre- vent outrages, but Butler's uncanny influence over the Indians was too strong even for the greatest man of the red race. But Walter Butler returned once too often to the work of desolation, and at the Battle of johnstown in 1781. the death blow was dealt to the border raiders. When he reached the West Canada Creek in his retreat he could again look back upon a long line of corpses marking his path. but this time they Were the bodies of his own men and behind him pressed the tireless militia of Willett. Be- fore him lay the swollen waters of the West Canada. He plunged in and as he reached the farther shore turned and shook his fist at his foes. Fatal move! A rifie rings out from the eastern bank! Butler reels in his saddle-falls. An Oneida Indian crosses the stream and Walter Butler dies by the hatchet he has wielded so pitilessly; dies pleading, begging for the mercy he has never given, and as the Americans come up and behold the mutilated hulk of what had once been a man, not one removes his hat. Thus died Walter Butler, gentleman, scholar, politician and brute. Call him what you will, you cannot increase the weight of the judgment he must bear upon the Day when humanity faces its Maker. Tragedy never had a greater figure. In peace he would have been a popular and keen diplomat: war made him a demon at whose ruin none felt regret. 182 'IL-I .u .- 39W? F?

I can discuss this question with all due impartiality. Gentlemen. let me state the question fully to you. Shall cremation be substituted for earth burial: that is, when Death puts his icy fingers upon us. do we enter the Fiery Fumace or do we lie in cold storage until Gabriel plays his last trump? You will readily observe, gentlemen, that this question has a religious as well as a mercantile side. But the point which I wish chieHy to make isthis. I appeal to you personally. would you like to have any of your friends or relatives buried in the ground, perhaps buried alive? No. gentlemen; to be wrapped in a clean white sheet. and then in bright flames: what more fitting- CYRANO: lrapping with his gavell Next l The noble Lord Byron has the Hoor. BYRON : M r. Chairman. As I take the floor let me brielly state the ground I wish to take in this matter. My most worthy opponent asks you to believe that cremation is a matter of Hell-fire. and earth hurial is a matter of cold-storage-two most absurd misunderstandings. l appal to your better senses, gentlemen : is not this a question of natural philosophy? is it not merely a question of the elements of nature: whether air and fire are to be held better than water and earth? And, gentlemen, my point is this': water and earth are better than fire and air; for in the first place, without'earth and water how could you grow potatoes or make mud pies? While on the other hand air and fire are unstable vapors, and he who defends them is handing out to you only hot air. Dixi. Mr. Chairman. CYRANO: Mr. Burns. BURNS: Mr. Chairman. Now I think the last speaker has overlooked a little point in his'zeal for water and earth; for if he should try to breathe without warm air. with only earth and water. his breathing apparatus w0uld soon be clogged and he would need a dredge and a stomach pump 187 for his bellows. Moreover, Mr. Chairman, if the last speaker had lived on rarth in the climate l endured. and waded through cold waftr with just his kilties on and had chilblains in his hopes, like me. he would wel- t Ml come the warmth that cremation would afford him after life. This much by way of rebuttal to my honofed opponent's argument; and now i the point which I wish to present to you, the only real argument that l h '. I has been or will be offered this evening, is just this. Now the categorical theory of dioramic and phantasmagoric spectacles - CYRANO: Time! Nose-glasses are more stylish than spectacles. Monsieur , Verlaine. f t l f i '3 VERLAINE: Mr. Chairman. Throughout this learned and charming debate ' 'i; , I have been wondering, perhaps dreaming, what all this was leading to. For when in the last act of that strange play of life men go down to the ,-r ships, embark, and in early daylight cast off the moorings and put out to sea, it appears to me they are still true to their Mother Earth and long ' ., to return to her close embrace of silent sympathy. What care they for the fiery chariot of Elijah? Such translations of fire as Elijah's are as naught compared with a good prose one of Hinds 8c Noble's. And when at Lisbon the earth smiled and opened her mouth and men. even against their wills. rushed into a burial of earth,-what more simple and direct argument can be adduced in favor of our side.

J Graham, his room-mate, otherwise , known as it Doc, was standing h before a mirror at the other side of , the room vainly endeavoring to adjust a balky tie. tlSay Doc, old man, piped up jack, tiwhere in the name of Cmsar are you bound for tonight and why all this i fussin' up'? iiKeep it dar , and Doc tiptoed over to the desk and whispered in Jackis ear. What again? yelled jack, llI thought you visited the iLittle Church Around the Corner, last Sunday night, and here it is only Wednesday. Do they hold service twice a week? I have it, this must be prayer meeting. it N 0, this is to be devotional service at the feet of the Goddess of Love. But here is a tip-if this little ribbon around my neck doesn't behave better I will need to take confession. Iill wager the Goddess will forgive you all right. It seems to me though, Doc, that these confessionals, or what- ever you call them, are becoming too frequent. Take my advice and become a staid old bachelor like myself. Youill enjoy life much better. Back to your den, tempter, and just to please your room-mate lock up that apartment in your kopf that has to do with bachelors. Here is a proposition. Hustle up and get dressed. F ix up as prettily as you can, come along with me 203 KX'JWKK It'r.,z w and I will usher you to a seat in my church beside as neat a package of joy as you ever beheld with those brown eyes of yours. The Goddess has a sister who-say Jack, she is a bunch of peaches with a covering of cream that will make your mouth water. Come along and I will break you in. Lets see if you and I can't work together in harness. Is it a go? Not tonight, Doc, I prefer to stay here with my old friend t meerschy,' replied Jack, giving his pipe aloving tap. IIWell, then, stay here. Smoke your dear little meer- schaum and read your Shakespeare, but me for a course in the art of sofa-manipulation. Good-night. Hope you have a pleasant eveningf' and Doc left the room with a bang. This was the second year that Jack and Doc had roomed together. Good friends they had been through thick and thin, but as different as black from white. Jack was indeed a staid old bachelor, slow and easy-going. He was perfectly at home in the company of the other sex, a fine dancer and generally agreeable wherever he happened to be, but cared nothing for society, preferring rather to smoke his pipe and read good literature. Doc was in some respects like his chum, always agreeable, an excellent tripper of the light fan- tastic, but on the other hand, of a very enthusiastic nature. To the feIIOWSeIt an awful fusser; t0 the girlsetlper- fectly lovely. As to smoking a pipe- a cigarette was good enough for him; and as for literature-he called it rubbish. Doc was devoted to his room-mate but did not share his views concerning the girls. Jack had often been told by Doc that some day he would fall in line and join the Ladies' Club and when he did, Oh my! What a head- ache. But, thus far Cupid had not been able to find an arrow in his quiver strong enough to pierce Jack's heart. :5 x 2;: 1;: Holy Smoke!

V of the hottest days of the Summer vacation, if this keeps it, i up, 111 pass away. You'll find money in my room to pay r; 2,3! funeral expenses. Weive been hanging our hats in this at ,4 hotel for three weeks and not the sight of a tfem' yet. If my memory holds good, you said this was an ideal place to spend a vacation- but you must have been having a good finished. What brand of tobacco do you smoke in that pipe of yours, anyway ? iiCome, come, Doc; do you mean to say that you haven't enjoyed yourself? I have been having the time of my life. We have fished and tramped, rowed all over the lake and been in it every day and still you say that you havenit enjoyed it. What is your idea of enjoyment? uWell, I see your beautiful face enough at College. I want a change, and if some female doesn't show up before very long, Doc packs his trunk and back he goes to the gay, hilarious city. There is the hash-hammer-say we eat. That is my one enjoyment. The meal finished, Jack and Doc sat in the office adjoining the hotel parlors. The evening boat had arrived and as the regular season was just commencing, a goodly sized crowd entered the office and registered. Doc pricked up his ears when he saw this, especially when he noticed that there were some good-looking ttskirt-displayers, as he termed them, in the party. Jack sat unaware of the com- m motion, deeply absorbed in the latest magazine. 1' -' i 2 iii The new arrivals proved to be a lively crowd, and their 'i first meal at an end, they at once began to set things in motion. The rugs in the parlor were rolled back and the furniture removed. One of the guests sat down at the piano and rag-time began to fioat out on the evening air. Soon, there were three or four couples dancing. t , , 205 , 4'; i , Ii, , .g - - ,. - X , Trev... 5, , V ?c a - sJ'V i l -1 7 ! , ' . - ' .t ' , , r 7 TA. - . Jack by this time had become interested and stood watching the proceedings from the othce door. His gaze seemed to be fastened upon a sofa opposite him. where two of Doc's fems were sitting. He began to edge slowly away from the door and as Doc noticed him going up to his room, he turned and winked at the clerk. Jack up in his room was changing his knock-about clothes for his Sunday-go-to-meetin's and at the same time thinking of one whom he had just seen. It was hard for him to believe it-what eyes she had; Pretty? Hand- some? No, he could find no words to express his thoughts. At last he had seen the girl for whom he really cared. and worst of :1 , upon first sight, without an introduction. He hated to have Doc laugh at him but he resolved to brave it out, so with a determined air he left his room to join in the gaieties below. ' Due in the meantime had been introduced around and when Jack entered the room was dancing with the owner of those sparkling black eyes. Jack's heart was beating a tattoo against his breast for he knew that he would be in for it as soon as the dance stopped-and he was. Doc, all wreathed in smiles, accompanied by his dance-partner, walked over to where jack was sitting. Jack arose. He was delighted to meet Miss Gilman and Would she be so kind as to favor him with the next dance. Jack thought the dance was the very best one he had ever had. Then they walked on the hotel porch for a long, long time. Doc, noticing the absence of these two. smiled. and his eyes seemed to say : I told you So. You have been here three weeks, Mr. Rogers? It was Miss Gilman speaking. Yes. we have been enjoying the simple life for three weeks and now, just as there is a prospect of good times, we are obliged to leave. We return home day after tonmrrow, replied Jack. uThatis a shame. 206 Mht limy' '. .' v,... ' u s VEM'VV x ,rk 3451!. ihm r-IFt cant you possibly stay longer P I know we would have fine times together. I have only known you a short half-hour but I know I will miss you. You must stay. II No one would like to better than I, but it is impossible. It will be hard for me to go now, but go I must. We will make the best of it, though, and plan a good time for tomorrow. II We must go in the parlor and dance or they will think we are lost. I much prefer this bracing evening air but you know what the others will say if we stay here much longer. As you wish, if I may be honored with another dance. Certainly you may have a dance but I am afraid it isn't much of an honor. Is it? and Miss Gilman looked at jack out of the corners of those eyes until Jack was sorely tempted to take her in his arms then and there, but thinking discretion to be the better part of valor, he contented him- self by giving her hand a gentle squeeze and they entered the hotel. That night jack tossed and tumbled in his bed until he rocked himself to sleep. Doc recognized the symptoms and said not a word. He expected that he would have to row his own boat on the morrow and he was not disappointed. Doc awoke with a start. It was morning and eight o'clock. Funny I should over-sleep, he murmured as he hurriedly commenced to dress. ltJack isn't here. Its a pity he wouldn't wake a fellow up. A smile passed over Doc's face as he called to mind the happenings of the night before, and his look plainly showed that he understood the cause of Jack's early start. He was on the right trail, for at that very moment Jack was sitting quietly in one end of a rowboat, far back in a small bay, out of sight of all eyes except those of Miss Gilman, or Ethel. as he had learned to call her. True to appointment, Ethel and jack met on the dock at seven o'clock and soon Jack, with a long, sweeping stroke, 207 erg was sending a rowboat swiftly over the glistening lake. About a mile up the lake they entered a secluded bay and stopped near the shore under some trees which hung far out over the quiet waters. jack still had the latest magazine with him but now he was using it to better advantage, for he was reading stories to Ethel while she occupied herself with fancy-work. llWell, said Jack, laying down the magazine, that story is finished and it is the last one. ll Are you sure it is the last one P replied Ethel. That is a shame. But wasn't it a cute story? I wish Ihad a brother like the one in the story. Jack thought a long time and then, in a confused tone, blurted out: Haven't you a brother? Ethel's answer was in the negative and Jack relapsed into reverie as if trying to gather courage for a bold stroke. Then he straightened up and said, I haven't a sister, either. Lets you and I form a compact. I will be your brother and you be my sister. That will be fine. We will be make-believe brother and sister. You shall be Brother jack and I will be Sister Ethel. But, brother, it is time we were returning to the hotel. The morning has slipped by as though it had been greased and I hate to have this pleasant time come to an end, but you are right, we must retrace our steps or rather re-row our course. Doc was sitting on the hotel porch, chewing on a cigar, when Ethel and jack returned. As Jack, with a sort of sheepish look mounted the steps, Doc gave vent to his feelings. Where have you been, Jack, old man? I have been rushing around the vicinity for three hours trying to learn if anyone had seen a fellow with a straw hat and red necktie. Thought you were drowned or had packed up and left. I 208 71 r; l' i i X M. ' 4m ??V ,- I ,4 ' I .4 :1, 7 1' , , I ll r , I W I 7'? , t . .

Good Morning, Miss Gilman, delighful day, isnit itPl' Just the best ever. Mr. Rogers and I have been enjoying a short row. Short, said Doc, laughing? Yes, so I should judge. Jack edged close to Ethel and whispered, Shall I See you after lunch ?l, Receiving an affirmative reply, he left Ethel with Doc and entered the hotel to prepare for lunch. 5 . '3' ' , After lunch, a party was organized to take a tramp through the woods and Jack and Ethel willingly joined. Doc was present, catising much laughter with his witticisms and the whole party voted him a jolly good fellow. Jack had eyes for no one but Ethel and Doc seizing the oppor- tunity made this pair a Iaughing-stock. The tramping party was declared a success, but jack was having an attack of melancholia for he realized that in :1 few short hours he would be far away and he did not know how he was ever going to exist without Ethel. However he looked forward with pleasure to the last evening at the hotel and firmly resolved to make every minute count. The evening came and passed all too quickly for jack. The guests were playing bridge and Doc had joined in. jack and Ethel preferred to walk on the porch. They stopped before one of the large windows to watch the game going on inside but the game had very little interest for either. Jack could not tell the next morning whether it had been a game of bridge or euchre. But he did know that Ethel was the dearest little girl in all the world and that she had asked him to write to her often and had prornised to write in return. He was happy. Morning came, and along with it the boat which was to carry Doc and Jack to the train. Ethel was at the dock to bid them good-bye. She hoped to see Mr. Graham again 209 2: 6W f .; WWWN xiiu 334R but in saying good-bye to Jack, she gave his hand a pressure that showed her feelings more than all the words she could utter. Jack lingered until the gang-plank was pulled in and then jumped aboard and out of sight. Doc, as usual, was happy and smiling but Jack was morose and gloomy. Try his best, Doc could not draw him into conversation, not even when they had boarded the train. Doc went into the smoker and left Jack to his ovm thoughts. Jack was thinking of that pressure of the hand and the look in Ethel's eyes as he jumped aboard the bout. He realized at last that he was no longer a staid old bachelur but instead a love-sick youth. It was their Senior year at college. DOC and Jack had received their degrees and were prepared to enter the cold. cold world. The last dance-Senior Ball -was over. Doc sat in his room awaiting the return of jack. He fell asleep in his chair and dreamed of his college life now at an end and of the responsibilities which from now on would rest upon his shoulders. A pillow landed squarely on his head and he awoke to find Jack beaming down upon him. II I can't keep it up any longer, Doc, I must tell some- one, yelled Jack with excited voice. Well, go ahead. My ears are open and I am always willing to hear news. What is it? llListeneEthel and I are engaged. We have set the wedding for a year from today. uOh, tell us some news. I have guessed it for many moons. Doc, I want you to be my best man. Will youPI, II I am too tired to decide at present. Illl tell you tomorrow.
