HALL. l I tai . of IQOI has always prided itself in using the best of g 5 lf' judgment in whatever it has done, and that it has used this Y in some cases at least is verified in the choice of its class professor. Edwin L. Hall was born at Richfield, Summit , County, Ohio. Like so many other prominent men now on 45 the stage of active life, he lived on a farm 5 but he desired to know something beyond the stumps between which he planted his corn. He obtained the earlier part of his education at the district school and later at the high school of that place. Then he came to Hiram, entering as a student in the preparatory department, and was graduated from this institution with the degree of A. B. in 1886. Immediately after his graduation he was chosen as assistant professor in Latin. But no college life is complete without some romance. While he was a student in Hiram, he became acquainted with Miss Katherine L. Beatty, a member of his own class, to whom he was married in the summer of 1887. The fall of that year he went to New Castle, Pa., teaching one year in the high school of that city. Since 1886 he has been professor of Latin in his Alma Mater, which position he has filled worthily and well. Three years after IO graduation he received the degree of A. M. Soon shadows began to gather, and February 14, 1889, his wife was taken from him, and also little Charlie, who was then only a few weeks old. In ISQO, he married Miss Elizabeth Cook. He was chosen as class professor of the class of IQOI in the fall of '97, and since then many pleasant evenings have been spent in his home, made delightfulpby the hospitality of Mrs. Hall. Professor Hall's students will remember him not only asa thorough teacher, but as a thoughtful, helpful friend. He haslbeen very loyal to his class, always wearing the comet and star. The relations of IQOI with its class professor have always been of the pleasantest and most helpful nature. We have always found him a faithful counsellor and sympathetic friend. We cannot express the grati- tude that glows within our hearts, but we will endeavor to testify it in our future lives by dedicating all that we are, and all we may attain to the promotion of virtue and the good of humanity.

C. M. looks ,nw back over its College career, so filled with pleasant memories of friendly ff r associations and so free from those disturbing elements which so often l mar the history of class organizations. The past year may well be called the crowning one of all. It has been marked by occasions of unusual pleasure and interest. The social life of the class has left but little to be desired. A marshmallow roast, given one evening of the fall term, was a fitting opening to the social events of the year. The uniqueness and informality of the aifair made it but the more enjoyable. During the winter term the class was twice entertained by members of M. C. M.,-first by Ralph Newcomb, whose pleasant home in Garrettsville was made the scene of merriment and genuine good will, and again by Charles Smith, whose cordial hospitality was sincerely enjoyed by all. The ws' class was pleasantly entertained at tea by Dr. and Mrs. Page. M. C. M. ,A-afaihas abundant reason to be proud of its class sisters. They are few in number but the truest of the true. At the home of Prof. Dean, they delightfully entertained their class brothers and friends. It was an occasion long to be remembered by M. C. M. z,:'if 2723L' 'fQ5i.1'f'4'- 1' P I A . . if .

We justly feel proud of the record that Mr. Garvin has made. He won the oratorical contest and represented Hiram worthily in the State con- test. Because of his peculiar ability, he was selected as a special agent in the endowment work and has achieved much success. Honorable mention must be made of Mr. Newcomb, but what shall be said? Two souls with but a single thought g Two hearts that beat as one, ' and the best wishes and sincerest good will of M. C. M. go with them. Our college days will all too soon be over. They have been, we believe, peculiarly pleasant ones. Class ties cannot fail to be binding to members of 1900. In the comparative measuring of strength with other classes, we have not been wanting. In all our work we have endeavored to be sincere and earnest. We leave the college halls with feelings of mingled joy and regret, but sure that our college life has been a worthy preparation for the broader and larger life that is to follow. 16 jllIli0l' IGSS 333 m0ff0 ZOIOYS 'HOWCI' HGUTTA CARAT LAPIDEMH GOLD AND BLUE RED CARNATION Class Professor EDYVIN L.

Thirty of those who last year shared our joys and sorrows have failed to return to our ranks and hence come under the latter class. In spite of our decrease in numbers we have endeavored to do our full duty in every way, and for our encouragement and pleasure many Social Events , have done their part. Not least of these was the pleasant evening spent at XVhite's by the class and its friends, to whom had been given the inexorable command, Thou shalt not be admitted to a class organization unless thou hast a sufficient number of credits to admit thee thereto. Another most enjoyable occasion was the evening of April 25th, when we were entertained at tea at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Peckham. Here the proficiency of the Hyacinths at Jenkins Up should never be forgotten by those present. Zbapel 0rations We have many inspiring chapel orators.

This, the scenes of our struggles and victories CPD is very dear to all our number. When we met at our first meeting and saw how broken were our ranks, our mirth was mingled with a sadder feeling Qblzzblverj. As many familiar names were called no voice responded. Many of those who had shared with us the pleasant class association since our organization were no longer with us. However, we soon found that there were others to step into the broken ranks and ill the vacant places QShake.tpearej. Though these new members came among us as strangers, they have shown themselves worthy of being members of 1902. Scarcely had the term opened when we were invited to spend an evening at the home of one of our members, Miss Rowland. We were hospitably entertained, and to say that all enjoyed the occasion, is stating it mildly QShakesj5eareD. September ZQ is a date that will live long in the memory of the Sophomore class. It has always been characteristic of 1902, that whatever the line of work might be, We are satisfied with a position second to none Cf. L. Garvinj. - So We find that in athletics as in other realms we have A won renown. In the basket-ball team that has brought TA such glory to Hiram during the past season, 1902 has been well represented and has contributed in no small degree to the success of the team. Then, too, on the evening of January 27 our team met the team of 1903 in the arena Qguoled from Polirc Gazeffej. The story is told in a few words CShakesjbearej. It was but a repetition of the game last year with 1901. Once more 1902 was victor-the score being 25 to 5. After the game a reception was given to the members of the team and a pleasant time was spent in the Y. M. C.

The Class of 1902 has always stood for honest methods and hard work fin vazbzb. No small part of our success as a class organization has been due to the influence and encouragement of our beloved class professor.

Our first social gathering in the fall was long to be remembered. Although chestnuts, for which we Went, were rather scarce, it did not mar the pleasure of the hunt. Again we met in the Y. M. C. A. parlors where an evening was very pleasantly spent in conversation and games. The evening of january 27 was one of much sorrow to the class of 1903, when our hearts, throbbing with the joyful anticipation of victory, were brought low by the loss of the Basket- ball game and also the ball. But after the game all sorrow was put aside and with our brother class, the juniors, we assembled at the Trowbridge house, where congratulations were extended to Our Boys and an-old fashioned good time was enjoyed by all. Our Freshman banquet, an event eagerly looked forward to by 1903, was the crowning social event of the year. The dining room was elaborately decorated in crimson and White, and the table, which was in the shape of an F, was covered with red and white carnations. The music by the Mandolin Club and the toasts were most enjoyable features ofthe occasion. D Not only in the social part of Hiram life but also in the class room have the members of our class made themselves felt.

U I followed the bree ze as it passed nie ' To a beautiful spot near a tree, A tree all alone bearing knowledge, With one limb inscribed, I-IIRAM COLLEGE, A beauteous sight to see. And a wonderful part of this wonder, And this BRANCH was giving the zephyrs The pride of the limb and the tree, The message they told this time. Was the OLIVE BRANCH, whose lofty height, Each leaf whispered something to the breeze- Whose symmetry and conscious might, The BRANCH said, if each with the other agrees, Left no desire to be. Bear this message to every clime: Knowing that there are many, Here and over the sea. Who love our HIRAM COLLEGE, And therefore the O. B., I send by the winds this message, Knowing 'twill gladden the heart To hear once again the story Of which they form a part. Just a year after Hiram's Hrst birthday Not a twig but a BRANCH green and thrifty, A brave little twig appeared, With olive leaves on it, it grew, And as the limb grew in size and frame, And the leaves, grown in wisdom they wished to Thislittle twiglengthened and then took a name, share, As its eighth anniversarylneared. Gave open lyceums of merit rare For the leadets of branches new. For the tiny Branch of Olives, Waving a message of peace, Beckoned other Societies here, And the Oracle came, then the Star did appear, The beauty of all to increase. 46 When the Bough had sadly counted Six and twenty fond good-byes, And the leaves so scattered and far away Scarce heard its rustle or felt its sway, It longed to strengthen old ties. And the leaves did they long to gather 'Neath the sheltering bough once more, Behold the growth of limb and tree, And once more care-free leaflets be, As in the days of yore? Yes, clasping the hands long parted, Smiling often through tears, U d h 1 t 1 f Ol- Memory picturing the olden days, An t e a er eaves o ive ' And the faces veiled from human gaze, Hanging still upon the Bough Moved by the harvests by others sown, And the blessing of leaving one all their own, Began the sowing now. , They re-lived long past years. A piano, that sweetest music Might iill the whole loved place, And echoed in the lives, still bless, When gone, the ones whose joy, distress It soothed, was their desire. Oh, the joy when came the harvest, Sweetest music book-shelves filled! H But when a Part was Severed Only one thought their pleasure marred, And on the limb grafted anew l The Branch must be lightened though it were , ' hard, To gladness an their Sorrow Changed' Of some of its leaves and branches. The Boughs so nicely were arranged For growth, by being two. Almeda Booth, as later leaves, We lovingly look to thee, Who gave our Branch its upward bend, And bade it ' Ever, to the end Keep true, a blessing be.' We have striven to do honor To the limb and to the tree, As the wheat grows with the tare, Now and then some fruit we bear, Unworthy ours to be. Ah, the story now was ended From my seat I slowly rose Murrnuring, 'Blest the Bough will be, Who gives the growth of leaf and tree, The intent of each one knows' -NELLIE 47 L. XVALKER I .

Never, perhaps, has Delphic spirit been more manifest 6 gl and Delphic earnestness more marked. It has been a year ix X A 6 characterized by the best of good Will, by an earnest co- Q operation on the part of all, and by a sincere desire to X make the name Delphic mean all that it has in the as G past. When at the last Commencement seventeen Delphics, I ,dl tried and true, were graduated from the College, no more li to return, it was felt that their places in the society would kj L 'll' be hard to fill, but the younger generation responded nobly, J f and well have they carried the work forward. CN On the evening of last Commencement day the Society 2.1 'Q 5 54 Z.. K- I V KJ J Q presented the play Cyrano de Bergerac. With Hiram's limited facilities for presenting plays this was felt to be a heavy undertaking, but when over it was pronounced a grand success. Great credit is due to D. B. Grubb, chairman of the committee, and Moreton Axline for their untiring efforts to make' it a success. On February 22 the society presented Damon and Pythiasf' It was Well 25+ executed, the main parts being exceptionally well performed. V X7 U In the local oratorical contest Mr. I. L. Garvin secured first place and Mr. J. G. Henry second. Unusual interest was manifested in the contest and We cannot but feel that a worthy victory was won. The College was ably repre- sented by Mr. Garvin in the State contest held at Springfield. In thought and composition he secured first place. ,ci 54 Last spring a movement was set on foot among the members of the society to make a substantial addition to the Delphic library, already the most popular and the largest in the College. A considerable sum was raised and a large number of valuable books have been added. Thus in a material Way the society has been prosperous. In interest manifested in the regular society routine, in the quality of work performed in the programs, and in the spirit and enthusiasm awakened, the society has been no less fortunate. Again at the jubilee commencement a large number of Delphics will be graduated from the College. Their loss will be felt- but again Delphic spirit will triumphg the infusion of new blood will lend increased activity, and the Delphic Society will go forth from victory unto victory!

Yet the duty that N-Ni' confronts the historian is a pleasant one, for upon that page he T 'X ' X. is to inscribe the record of an unusually successful year's work. Last June seventeen Hesperians, many of whom wereleaders ' ' I in society work, received their diplomas and left the old Hall never to return again as active members. Hesperia's loss was T the world's gain. They went to join the Hesperian boys already Hi: engaged in the sterner duties of life in all parts of the world, carrying with them the Hesperian spirit, and leading men to higher and nobler lives. We who were left missed them last fall, but we knew no feeling of dis- courageinent. To us much has been given, from us much would be expected. Witli the star as our guide and hearts filled with the Hesperian spirit all deter- mined to press forward in the work of the new year. As some of our leaders were gone, each man realized the responsibility resting upon him and did his best. Earnestness has been the leading characteristic of the society work of the year. The programs, though long, have been of exceptional strength and interest. The business meetings have been helpful and have served to strengthen the ties of friendship which bind together the Hesperian boys. On December 8 the annual oratorical contest was held. Hesperia was represented by four men. For the first time in several years the victory rested upon a wearer of the Maltese Cross. Never did the Hesperian spirit manifest itself more clearly than at this time. No spirit of envy or bitterness was shown. Hesperia with true loyality joined 61 .ia 'Im Qkdulrsi ll Il ' n ew ,gall it l mlllglli Il l E- :::e-'::::':::::::a 4 - L RER- -'E' w i ' :':'.1' 1 lg f. -any I 'Ei ' with l1er brother society in providing for the training of the successful contest- ant, and in Wishing him success at the state contest. Most surely could the col- lege representative feel that he Was supported by and was a representative ofithe entire school. Hesperia's efforts have not all been along strictly literary lines. An earnest systematic effort to enlarge our library has been made during the year, and the result promises to be pre-eminently satisfactory. It is an established custom of the I-Iesperian society to present only Shake- sperean dramas as society entertainments. This year Julius Caesar will be pre- sented by the society on the evening of June zo. Much hard work has already been done, and it is safe to say, that under the eiiicient training of Professor Kirkpatrick it will come up to the high standard of former years. All Hesperians are looking forward with pleasure to the quinquennial ban- quet of the society, which is to be held on Wednesday of Commencement Week. The society hopes to make this year's banquet the best ever held, and one of the pleasant events of an eventful Week. Hesperia has this year been guided by the spirit expressed in her motto: Candor da! viribus alas C Sincerity gives wings to strengthul. Every undertaking has been characterized by thisspirit of sincerity. All have realized that, although strength alone is commendable, it is not all that is essential to manhood g that there must be a spirit of sincerity, of honesty, of truth. And now as the time for separation draws near, Hesperians, one and all, unite in saying that they are stronger and better prepared to meet the stern realities of life because of the associations in the dear old Hesper Hall, and that in the coming days the memory of those associations will be the Emost cherished of all the memories of college days. 62 Nxea ' W .--'Y ' ' ' Y'.,.-Q'T WNW W W I v wr,-.S:f'gffV 0--pl .f--.-all is--'A-.-.pl V S3..4,s: 'V . uf-F:-y?'V v.--','I'f- 'X-4 S533 f: N 'wwf-0' arvcfz-5' ?a-va.Qf' ikseazfilvigigargilr iii--qw M5255 se-41., Ja: A pac 03630 QU- 4f I :Q--pf 2 - f -f2:'s1-::'- -- - 1::f:.u:f- -- R' ::sf:.:w:f- -- - rfimrif. .

These were strong, true-hearted girls, and laid a firm foundation for the structure which has been slowly growing ever since. The first regular meeting was held September 21, 1895. Mrs. Clara Russell Anderson was the first president. Of course there were struggling times, as there must be in all true growth, but they brought with them healthy development and enlargement of possibilities. We have given a public entertainment each year since our organization, all of which have been well received. Materially we have been kindly prospered, and altho' perhaps not quite as elegant as our neighbors we are quite satisfied that this year finds us independent. We have reason to thank our brothers and sisters for the many little kindnesses done during these tive years. We have found many true friends whose encouragement and counsel have been a source of strength to us, and for these things We are truly grateful. ' Alethea's influence is spread even across the sea where Miss Rawson and Miss Franklin are bearing the message of Truth. While many, many others are home missionaries of vari- ous kinds. This year one of our members goes forth to proclaim Truth, Wherever she may rind her life Work. She is very dear to us, and we shall miss her support and her cheery face. Our best wish'for her is that her life may bring as much of happiness and strength everywhere she goes as she has brought to Alethea. May we ever remember the Words of one of our charter members. Our aim is that we may seek Truth, and in the coming years, as now, may 'A A vi 9 ec a with its encircling wreath of bluets, emblematic of purity, be the goal toward which Aletheans are ever striving.

Many young men who come ' ff to Hiram to enter the preparatory department have not had society ran: X privileges before. They would be handicapped and embarrassed to go into a society with men having a better education and with years of XX liter ary training. Probably some men would not feel inclined to enter this work which would be so helpful. The Garfield Society, organized in ISQ4. for the preparatory students, has done and is doing much for these new fellows. Not only this, but the Pe 'N t -G , . .

In view of these facts we feel that our work is helpful and important. We heartily appreciate the cordial recognition and assistance of the faculty and of the college societies. This year our work has been very pleasant and encouraging. Much excellent Work has been done. Before the middle of the fall term we had over forty members, and almost every week our hall was filled with interested friends to hear the Well-prepared programs. In February we were able to pay fifty dollars on the piano debt. Thirty dollars more will put us out of debt and we shall then be ready to give our hall some needed improvements. Through almost unavoidable circumstances our annual play had to be given up, and in its place Rev. B. H. Hayden gave his fine illustrated lecture, A Trip Through the Orient. During the year we have been fortunate in having with us in our work a few men of extended experience who have rendered valuable aid to the society. We would not seek to exalt ourselves, but simply impart a truthful impression of our existence. All has not been pleasant but the most has been satisfactory. The spirit of the society is optimistic. Our past has been bright, our present looks brighter, and the future we trust will be glorious. 70 f-4-5 ,-L. I 1 I' 9 M2- ,.,.- fl l'df0l'iCdl HSSCCidIi0ll 333 Officers President .. .. .. ..

In respect to the , 'G' ' interest manifested and splendid work accomplished, the year has been unsur- ' ' passed by any that have preceded. Q 'Q' Fourteen contestants, a larger number than ever before, entered the local gi. contest. Competent judges remarked that their productions were of an unus- E , 2, ually high character. -9 ff The interest on the night of the contest was intense and when Mr. Garvin 1 r was awarded Hrst place all felt that it was a victory justly earned. Mr. Garvin a L had an oration of unusual strength and vigor, While his delivery was easy and majestic. It cannot be said that the state contest was as satisfactory as the local one. It is not unfair to say that some of the judges at least went with biased and prejudiced minds. Hiram's representative received first place on thought and composition, but 011 the Enal rank received third. It was the almost unanimous verdict of those present at the contest that the victory was deservedly his. However, we must bow to the verdict of the judges. Interest in oratory has steadily increased since the organization of the association. This indicates a healthy state of affairs. and everything possible should be done to keep alive this interest. Though fairness seems hard to secure, our time for victory will soon come. 72 l'dI0l'iCdl ZOIIIQSIS S O I1 3 3 3 Result of H0661 ZOIITESL DQCQIHDQI' 8fh,lS99 THOUGHT AND CoMPos1TroN DELIVERY ,if 22 ,rg CONTESTANTS Z, an .E , 5 52 E2 E 24 -- .M ,ea ,m .M 2- ,M 'gg -' Q E 5 E 5 3 ' S 'S 5 'i S '5 'E .E 5- Cd I-4 Q4 P1 D4 Fd D4 Z-4 D5 I-4 I-4 IL Henry J- 71 , 5 85 3 312 4 962 2 97 I 4302 I5 2 Ward . .. 70 6 65 8 782 6 QIZ 7 QI 7 3962 34 7 Sager .... .. 68 8 95 r 762 7 96 3 92 6 4217A 25 4 Garvin , .... . .

Each refonn, charac- terized by mighty change, has its voice in the wilderness-a voice trumpet-tongued and firm, whose silvery tones proclaim- ing God-whispered truths sting into life the slumbering con- science of an indifferent generation. The first century had john the Baptist, whose voice, re- sounding among Iudean hills, roused an expectant nation, while its burning mes- sage scorched with fierce denunciation. Only a martyred forerunner, yet he pre- cipitated a reform Whose ever-swelling flood, flowing beyond the boundaries of Palestine, is today inundating the arid, Christless regions of the earth and caus- ing them to blossom with love and hope. The fifteenth century had Luther, the passionate child of a cloistered cell. Standing like Elijah in his Wolfish age, fired with the thought of religious freedom, he broke the clasp which bound the sacred Book and struck a keynote whose vibrations have set the ages singing. The nineteenth century had Garrison, great in his passion for humanity. A herald of emancipation vvho, converting this nation to the cause of freedom, baptized it in a Civil War that it might arise from its bloody burial to walk in the newness of a larger life. These reformers lighted, for growing civilization, the unbeaten track of progress. The iirst announced the Emancipator, Christ, the second gave to the world His emancipated Wordg the third proclaimed emancipated man. Thus We slowly approach the culmination of an ideal social state. Over' the chaos and strife We call civilization, there broods the thought of love as law. It is a thought undreamed by philosophic Greece, beyond remorseless Rome., spurned and rejected by the despotic minds of earth today, and yet, it is a thought destined to be uttered in a voice which will be heard by the child in the house- hold of nations, that child born with a conscience for liberty-The Powerful Re- public of America. Based on democracy: this government began, and the expansion of its con- science is its history. VVhen conscience has its fullest sway, then, and not till then, will Social Democracy embrace the earth. The vision of universal democ- racy is ideal. But, to the realization of such an ideal America is crowded through many a bitter struggle. Two ships once discharged their cargoes 'on the newly discovered shores of the western hemisphere. The Puritans of the one planted in the soil of bleak New England the vital germs of pure democracy, which climatic conditions de- veloped into a socialistic idea impregnated with the principles of popular govern- ment and common schools. The adventurers of the other carelessly scattered over the rich loamfof Virginia the proliiic germs of a despotism growing into a system in which plantation principles of slavery were organic centers. These two ideas, forever hostile, grew side by side until no continent could contain them both. Theniin afmighty duel they shook the earth. 'Tis true-ftheir physical environment compelled cohesion for the period of de- velopment. 'Tis true they combined against the tyranny of a mother-land. But their conscience for religious liberty and their inherent love for home forbade a different course. And on the crest of a tidal wave of freedom was launched that matchless document declaring the inalienable rights of every man to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This declaration, framed by the giants of that inceptive period, whose minds were heated to prophetic power by a national crisis, proclaimed imperishable truths which their lives unconsciously denied. But the conflict of interests is an instrument of progress and in their hopefulness they builded better than they knew. The young republic, conident that the victorious course of new-born freedom would, with other evils, sweep slavery away, was lulled into a restless sleep. Political physicians prescribed oblivion in increasing doses, and the land grew quiet from Maine to Louisiana. The volcanic question ceased rumbling in the breasts of men. Witli calloused conscience the nation sank into moral apathy. It was God's hour. Whence shall come the leader whose moral touch will thrill into existence a new epoch of the nation's life? The champion of the 'church was speaking then. His words were oracles. To him the Christian people turned, awaiting the leadership of a strong man to decide their action in these issues. But staggering before this stupendous crisis in the moral world, Lyman Beecher failed. The halls of statesmanship were echoing then the tones of logic's master. Columbia's favored son, nurtured at her breast and growing into manhood at her side, repaid her love by fighting for her life. love-like Danielu, his majestic presence illumined with burning thoughts, the cynosure of a crowded senate cham- ber, his deep, rich voice pleading for the perpetuity of the nation'slife gave utter- ance to the clinching sentence, Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and foreverf' No wonder the country looked to him for solution of her problems! But, despite his wisdom, with mind beclouded by an unrealized presidential hope, he surrendered his convictions to court favor, and in the hour of supremest need he hesitated, wavered, fell. Daniel VVebster, too, had failed. The opportunity called for a man. Behold! A boy,-his ruddy countenance flushed with righteous indignation, his moral nature outraged by an unjust im- prisonment for his convictions. Undisciplined by college training, without wealth, without station, without iniiuence, with nothing but the truth of God, he braves the wrath of misguided public opinion and dares achieve what learned greatness failed to solve. History embalnis him The Great Liberator , the pioneer of abolition,W'illiam Lloyd Garrison. In the heart of cultured Boston, single-handed, he raised the standard of abolition. A dingy attic with ink-bespattered windows his only fort, a few type and a small press his only weapon, he unmasked a bat- tery whose thirty-five years of continuous firing completely demolished the for- tress of slavocratic greed. His scathing exposure of the iniquitous traliic in hu- man ilesh created intense antagonism. Disowned by America's intellectual elect. an Ishmael in the eyes of trade, his life imperiled by angry threats, like a rock in a seething storm, he stood undaunted- One straightforward conscience put in pawn to redeem the worldfl Here began a movement which, for the marvel of its origin, majesty of its purpose, magnitude of its results, has had no parallel since the days of Luther. Its agitation aroused a tiger-like spirit of persecution which hounded the eloquent Thompson back to England, drove the patient Lovejoy to the Mississippi, and, when he dared protect his rights, murdered him. It was Anarchy's last tri- umphant act. Among the thousands whom it won to the cause of freedom none rise superior to that gifted orator, the pet of Boston, the pride of Harxfard,-Wen- dell Phillips, whose maiden speech in Faneuil Hall, when guilty Boston con- demned her own lawlessness, ranks with Patrick Henry's at Willianisbiirg, Abraham Lincoln's at Gettysburg-and there is no fourth. Onward sped the movement until the idolatrous reverence for the Constitu- tion saturated with the injection of slavery was practically destroyed. Sharper and clearer were the issues drawn. From North and South alike swelled discords of angry mutterings. Determination deepened until at last Freedom and Slavery stood face to face on the widening banks of the Potomac. Argument was ended. Arms were ushered in when the Connecticut schoolmaster at Harper's Ferry 'fwrote on the natural bridge, as it were, in the face of the nation, his simple copy -'Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God' The southern conscience, like a nerve laid bare, began to sting. America began to feel and the war was on-the travails of a growing Democracy. From Sumter to Appomattox, on the burial ground at Gettysburg, on the death-strewn battle-field at Chickainauga, on the heights of Lookout above the clouds, wherever a hero fell, is written in human blood, the one word-EMANCIPATION. Yet Social Democracy is no slight task for one hundred years and two great wars to achieve. XVhile time was assuaging the bitterness of that internecine strife, while the country was recuperating from the ravages of war, there gathered o'er the land, unobtrusive and unnoted, the gloomy shadow of an industrial slavery. Not a slavery of chattels but a slavery of trade 5 not a system binding the negro, but a system grinding the entire commonwealth, not only a curse to human life but a sin against the immortal soul. Slowly has it grown until the nation, immersed in agonizing questions, harassed by perplexing problems, confronted with tremendous forces which must be mastered, beholds, with startled gaze, a repetition of her former trials. In this fierce struggle for social freedom the republic has nothing to urge her on but the voice of conscience, nothing to sustain her courage but that one idea, sublimely simple. Will she conquer? Who loving her can doubt? That trust, twice refined in the hot furnace of war, is purified to deeper trust. If the task is greater, greater is her strength. If the questions are more vital, more profound is her wisdom. If the issues are unsolved by force of arms, she offers a new solu- tion. No longer bloody revolution but glorious evolution. For six centuries the Might, of humanity amid labor and sorrow has ruled with ruin. It now gives way to the Law of Love-the Great Physician's remedy to heal the fevered world, love, sowing in social wrongs the seeds of their own regeneracy, love, planting in economic evils the elements of their own redemption 3 love, whose dynamic power transforms monopolies into spiritual organs of re- deemed society. This is the culmination of that social system. This is the liberty for which America was born, toward which she has ever struggled, in which as conquerer she will rejoice, when, with ransomed conscience, regenerated heart, redeemed character, she bestows upon the world, SOCIAL DEMOCRACY. Then, all hail! America! The world awaits the outburst of thy social song. Speak the burning thought which makes an end of life's stupendous jest, which stops the merry waste of fortunes by the Few, which takes the toiler from his brutal fate-The toiler hanging on the Labor Cross. Herald the joy- ful strain which brings To earth the feel of home again, I That men may nestle on her still warm breast g which brings To wronged humiliated man, The sacred right to labor and to rest.

H. see , HE many difficulties of the past year have been met in a spirit of hopefulness and determination that assured victory. Early in the A E., L fall we lost our president, Mr. Wilbur W. Templin, who was called to a larger Held at Dayton, Ohio. The broad-minded policy of his QA r . S- fi, ef 1 pq if- administration was assumed by Mr. Rothenburger and pushed to a Kg 'ik successful termination through the hearty and harmonious co-oper- ,N ation of all the fellows. if -, ,. Because of peculiar conditions, the Bible-study work presented Q . ' B N sg .,:, a hard problem, yet a large number ofthe students pursued special ' f Bible Work during the entire year. The class in the study of Missions is now a part of this department. Four of our men attended the summer school at Lake Geneva and thirteen the State con- vention at Findlay. The attractive reading-room has been much improved, and its increasing use is a good argument for further extension. The neat and useful hand-book, the persistent and careful work of the Fall Campaign and and Membership committees induenced the new students in the right direction, many of whom are our most active members. Three socials, the last in honor of our victorious basket-ball team, the strengthening and enriching of the social life throughout the year, have put new spirit into our work. Great praise is due the Lecture committee for giving us the strongest course in many years. Costing one hundred dollars more than last year's course, the fact that it more than paid for itself , clearly proves that citizens and students will support the best talent. The devotional spirit has been kept up to the high standard of the past. The splendid revival services of the winter term, led by R. P. Shepherd, resulted in twenty young men accepting Christ, so Hiram can now say that ninety-two per cent of her students are professing Christians. VVe thank God fervently for the successes of the past and look hopefully into the future. As never before, the Christian spirit seems to be permeating every department of col- lege work. The splendid lecture course, the Wise financial management, the up-to-date read- ing-room, the financial and social alliance with athletics, the inspiring prayer-meetings, the aggressive campaign for souls, all indicate the strong hold that the Christian Association work has upon the student body. Not a separate department, but the presiding spirit of all departments. HISTORIAN. 79 1. Q, 4125 A - Jiiygrii-5D'lf5'jE'i'fA24fS'2g'LA ' I 4 4 'V A l ,I Q Y r. A , 4 , ,Vg 0? ia X i if xy 9 'S A .

F T wenty-five dollars of this amount is the result of our first attempt at the plan of systematic giving. It was sent to help in endowing a Bible Chair in Calcutta and entitles us to a life membership in the C. W. B. M. We have also contributed toward the support ofthe Association work of our own State, to that of the American Committee and the World's Committee. Three girls represented us at the Summer Conference at Geneva last July and returned full of inspiration and helpful suggestions for the work. The first item of the fall term was the welcoming of the new students, and all testify to the successful way in which this was done. Several pleasant socials during the year have performed their part in keeping up this genial spirit. The Missionary Committee has not allowed us to forget the great question of our duty to our sisters in other lands. A successful class in the study of missions has been kept up through the year. In the fall term four and in the winter term three classes met regularly for Bible study with an average attend- ance of thirty or thirty-five. Six girls attended our State Convention at Delaware this winter. Nothing can be more inspiring than such a gathering as this, where we meet girls from so many other Colleges, all working with the same great end in view. Our dele - 81 gates brought back with them an atmosphere of earnestness and zeal that has been felt ever since. But best of all have been our Y. VV. C. A. prayer meetings. There on each Saturday evening we meet for an hour to talk together of our efforts, our suc- cesses and our failures and to get help and comfort for the life of the new week. Who can estimate the iniuence of these meetings on our lives? Without them there would be a great blank left which nothing could fill. On all sides we receive means by which to grow in intellectual power and in knowledge of the things of the world. But what would all this mean to us without this Christ spirit which alone can make our lives a success? Let us ever be thankful to Our Father for the Christian Associations which make Hiram the great blessing which she is,-which give to us the Christ spirit to rule our lives that we may go forth not to be ministered unto but to minister.

The Mission Band of this college was formed .i. , -. . we Q in 1890 with a membership of thirteen. While this year has not seen .' .L J, ff ge a large increase in membership, the number deeply interested in mis- . .L :nw ' ' sions has been greatly increased. The year has been especially enjoy- -3- X -if .L able and profitable because ofthe help and inspiration given by several .L L ' Vigil? returned missionaries. Mr. and Mrs. McGavran and Mr. and Mrs . 'Tw' .L - I ' H n ' ' Mc. Whartoii of India, Miss Hostetter ofjapan, and Mrs. Rynhart of Thibet, U 1 have been with us all or part of the year. Three persons have decided during the year to become volunteers to do God's work in foreign lands if it be His will. The missionary study class has never before been so interesting and so largely attended as this year. This class is not for volunteers alone, but for all who are seeking to know of the growth of the Kingdom everywhere. Seventeen are now taking advantage of this opportunity. The books studied this year have been as follows: japan and Its Regeneration, Modern Apostles of Missionary Byways and The Healing of the Nations. Nine missionaries now represent Hiram on the foreign field and four others are home for rest. Carrie Goodrich, Mil- dred Franklin and Susie Rawson entered upon their work last fall, the former in japan the latter two in India. May many other volunteers be earnest and steadfast in their purpose to do the Master's service in places where few will go, and may many others be filled with enthusiasm to uphold the hands of those who go.

I6 K i ioug we iaxeenjoye manyevemngso un an ro1c,- ie ' l 3x.ltl0'l'1'l' ' d ' ff df 1' tl -qvf thoughts of Nov. go, '99, and its festivities still remain distinct i ' in our minds. We had long looked forward with anticipation A X -' ' V to the day. Preparations were begun long before, and all was f il . ' U jf A . in good order by the 29th. Our home folks had sent us a box i of dainties, which were gratefully appreciated. Early in the f r Q morning of the eventful day, the young ladies in the club were , Nj busily engaged preparing the mammoth turkeys, arranging the ,ff brown bread, biscuits, cakes, kisses, and other essentials to a royal feast. Wheii all was ready the two long tables presented a V glorious sight. The turkeys were surrounded by a galaxy of good things, plum pudding, pumpkin and mince pies were among the indispensable adjuncts of a true New England Thanksgiving dinner. . 111 The members and visitors, numbering thirty-two, made mighty attempts to annihilate the goodly viands, yet all were obliged to give in long before the tireless waiters ceased their labors. During the feasting jokes and stories flew thick and fast from table to table. Our good patron, Prof. Wakefield, easily carried away the honors in regard to the story-telling, while our historian, Mr. Rayner, made an heroic effort to show his superiority as a bird destroyer. In the afternoon much liberty was taken by those who felt the need of exercise, and groups of young folks could be seen strolling through the greenhouse or across the fields. 'When the shades of night began to gather around about us, a return to the house was made by mutual consent, and soon all were engaged in games, jokes, and all manner of fun. As a climax to the evening of enjoyment and an appetizer for the dainty lunch prepared by our young ladies, a colored wedding was celebrated, our Duluth friend being the groom, and our presi- dent the blushing CFD bride. The good justice performed theceremony, but neglected to take the privilege of kissing the bride, possibly on account of the falling away, in some places, of the truly wonderful complexion, caused no doubt, by her efforts to appear happy and to look self-possessed. At last the time for good-byes arrived, and at a late hour the typical New England Thanksgiving was brought to a happy close. 89 Jgv ogf na v 2 5 -gr, V ' 1 4 1 - 'first mandolin B. R.

This has been brought about in the first place by the systematic and earnest work of the officials in all their respective capacities. All constitutional provisions have been complied with, and all reports have been regularly and openly submitted. The strictly business-like manner in which all the various activities of the Association have been conducted, and the Alglas earnest work on the part of those who have been chosen to perform the same, have inspired a conndence and enthusiasm among both the faculty and student body. This has been manifested by the many privileges granted by the Faculty, by the many kindnesses shown by the Christian associations and ladies of the college, by the greatly increased membership, and by the prompt and 'satisfactory responses given to all requests for 'dnancial support. Encouraged by these substantial expressions of good will and appreciation ,, the teams have put forth exceptional efforts. The Basket-Ball team has won the undisputed collegiate championship of the state, and too much credit cannot be given those who have sac- rinced time and opportunities in Htting themselves, by long and laborious preparation, for the testing times in which they have acquitted themselves so Well as to lift the banner of Hiram far above those of all opponents. The PROSPECTS for a successful base-ball season are exceed- ingly ENCOURAGING. The candidates have been put in good condition by thorough gym- nasium Work during the past term. The speedy development of several new men adds increased enthusiasm to that already existing. The team is, furthermore, adequately equipped owing to the determined eEorts of the management during the past and present seasons, and with the prevalence of harmony which is now so evident, our hopes are made still brighter than they otherwise could be. It is the desire of all Hiram students and friends of athletics that this present base-ball season may meet with success equal to that ofthe basket-ball season which has just closed. It is the further desire of all concerned that the coming Field Day may in no wise be neglected, and that the progress of athletics in general throughout the future may be as steady and pronounced as it has been throughout the years of ,99 and 'oo.

His father came from New England, his mother from old England. He acquired his elementary education in the public and collegiate schools of his home town. A marked linguistic ability, inherited from his father. became manifest early in life. For ten years he continued his studies in modern languages, under proficient native German, French and Italian masters. In 1888 Mr. Paul founded the Meisterschaft School of Linguistry, in Toronto, which still exists in a Hourishing condition. On December 14. 1891. he was married to Miss Jessie M, YVil1iarns, Of Oakville, fulness has much aug usefulness. ln the same of the Toronto School of achieved a wide reputa he was appointed a di de Brisay and Professor the Delsarte College he appeared as interpre ers, rendering with re struse phrases and pol The Tibetan is a to Asiatic questions, eth and religious, and in 1894.

Those who knew the spirit of the man did not marvel to see him relinquish the doubly re- munerative and less exacting labors of teaching for the heavy burdens of the city pastorate of Cecil Street Church of Christ. For him it was enough that it opened a door of larger useful- ness. He entered it, and labored therein until he came to Hiram to take charge of the De- partment of Modern Languages. Professor Paul, by his genial disposition and the thoroughness and strength of the work of his department, has already won the esteem of those who have learned to know him. May his stay on the Old Hill be a long and happy one. F27 f74 ' s g T 1 ? vb. qlflvyb f, Eb junior classes at Hiram have worked and played, worried and 5:2 0 'sparred over the publication of Annuals. if 5 Volume one of the SPIDER IVEBB was published by the class of wi 1 ninety-two. To the preceding class, however, belongs the glory , of Hiramls first Annual. All complete sets count a small pink paper covered number known as The flloriar Board. Mr. Julius Voetter NVilson, of Salem, Ohio, who died shortly after graduation, was the Hrst editor-in-chief. The following quotation from its editorials proved a true prophecy: In this atmosphere of progress it has seemed good to the junior Class, not only as a matter of pride to itself but of profit to the institution, to bring forth this Annual, the nrst ever published on Hiram Hill. XVe trust that we are establishing a precedent, and that each succeeding junior Class will issue its Annual, and with the growth of the institution we shall hope for a growth in its publication. That little volume, published ten years ago, was, of course, received with derision by Seniors and Sophomores. It was the first time, they said, that seventy-five cents had been charged for a catalogue. The class of ninety-one, however, has reason to be proud, not only of making the pioneer effort but also of the intrinsic merit of its work. The next volume, in a dark brown pasteboard cover with a spider web in gold designed theron, was a great improvement, and in some respects is as good an Annual as any in the set. Mr. I. D. Forest, who now occupies the chair of Sociology in the University of Indiana, was editor in-chief, and Dr. W. D. Calvin business manager. This volume was successful beyond parallel, as the book was a source of revenue to the class. This class was taunted by its belligerent predecessors as organized for literary purposes only. In its turn ninety-three was known as wild and woolly and hard to handlef' Alas for the Annual of ninety-three. Time and toil and treasure immeasurable were expended in its preparation. It must so far surpass 128 all others that the future should never be able to equal it. At last it reached the public-a limited one. Its subject matter was well prepared. Its illustrations were life-like and-showed ine workmanship. Its jokes were pointed, but too sharply. Enemies were made in high places. Its sale on College property was discouraged, and now in many homesteads founded by members of ninety-three, as substantial beginnings for extensive libraries, are shelves of volumes of their own Annuals. Next came the navy blue and silver book of ninety-four, bright and full of originality. It was dedicated to Professor Peckham, the Hrst class professor, and his wife. The editor-in-chief was Alfred M. Kenyon, now a professor in the department of Mathematics at Purdue University. The class of ninety-Eve was fortunate in counting among its members an artist, Miss Dean, who illustrated their purple and gold Spider Web. Mr. Jay Lynn, now of Springfield, Ill., was editor-in-chief. The class spirit of ninety-five was marked by a irm friendship among its members for each other and for their alma mater, and was one that made a lasting impression on Hiram life. Their Annual is an excellent expression of their characteristic strength as well as Of their fun. Good taste is a noticeable mark of the black and gold of ninety-six. A feature of this Annual, that added to the interest of old students, was that it contained biographies of a number of the alumni. The same idea was carried out in the ninety-seven volume by giving pictures and short biographies of some of the trustees and old friends of the college. Their staff meetings were mostly held in the reception room at Bowler Hall, and, to quote from the biography of one of the editors of last year, some members of the staff were chiefiy remarkable for their regular and punctual absencef' By far the most artistic in print and general appearance is the green and gold Annual of ninety-eight, printed by A. L. Swift 81 Co. If it were only for the record there given of the presentation of Sophocles' Antigone and for the various pictures taken from its scenes that book would be a valuable document in Hiram's history. I The ninety-nine Annual, in its flexible red cover, has some articles of especial interest from both a literary and historical standpoint. Old students prize it, especially for its cut of the old church and Miss Myrta Parson's poem, entitled A Landmark Gone.', Last year's Annual will always be remembered for the exquisite pictures of Claudia Page, to whom the book was dedicated, as well as for its humor, which was the better appreciated that no sting lay underneath. 129 To quote from ninety-seven: The preparation of a college annual is no light task. It involves a thorough knowledge of college life, a close observance of every event of the school year, application to a single object, and an amount of labor which a student does not ordinarily give with the expectation of receiving no other recompense than the commendation of those who examine the iinished Work. - In after years those editors find that all this observation, concentration and toil was capital well invested and returning a high rate of interestg that the hours spent at staff meetings strengthened class ties more firmly than any other phase of college life, and that the memories of those hours are among the pleasantest that life can give.

The New Englanders arrived hand in hand, you might have expected this. There is danger of an under or over-balance if they should separate. They were all there, even the affecting eyes from Vermont and the sweet singer from Massa- chusetts. And there was one, a youth with stentorian voice and eyeglasses, who wanted to do all the talking, but was ordered to hold his peace in the pres- ence of the court. New York? Yes, there was the long and short of it from New York. The long gave the military salute when he passed the ladies and was really a deah boy, if you can accept EHie's testimony. The short-well, ask another. Indiana, oh, thou state of rising stars. When from thy cherishing arms thy sons and daughters came to bruise their feet upon the stony paths of knowl- -edge Hiram wept for joy, the Oratorical platform creaked as it felt the tread of the Master upon it, and the Y. W. C. A. opened its heart to receive a noble president. Illinois-from her superfluity of immortal names, one was sent with effervesc- ing brilliancy, to quiz the Professors, to strengthen the SPIDER WEB, to write poetry and to sleep in class. ' Michiganf, said the President, calling the roll. No answer.i Michi- gan ' ,-dead silence. N Can it be there is no one here from Michigan. Oh-oh !-here, came a voice from the Bowler Hall side, and from -.131 down North Campus street another here in muffled tones from thedepths of Sentimental Tommy. ' ' The land of William Penn sent a Miller with a Field, a Photographer and a Well, or you might say Wells, for it was certainly the equivalent of several in its capacity. A youth and a maiden from Georgia created quite a Russell in the Hiram World, and there was a little lady from Sunny Tennessee, a true woman in her repose, civility and dignity. it From over the border line the Union Jack floated at the head of a mysterious thirteen. Thirteen youths of valor came in search of conquests. They were ambitious lads g with an audacity that was appalling, for did not one of that radiant band present himself with cool deliberation, albeit with palpi- tating heart, before the Chief Spider of the SPIDER WEB. And another, none the less daring youth, aspired to sit upon the top of the advancing column of wit and wisdom. From Kentucky there came one of whom it was written in prophesy Melancholy marked him for her own, and from fair West Virginia a youth to fortune and to fame unknown. Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, California, Texas, Montana, Oregon, Mary- land, all sent contributions. Sometimes they were collections, but most gen- erally offerings-olferings to the shrine of the Priestess of the Groves, offerings to the clustering galaxy of Immortals. Two modest little maidens from the land of the rising sun crept into the heart of the hill, diffusing their earnest steadfastness and abiding loveliness through it. And now must Boston yield her palm. Apparently secure in her self-com- placency, she is caught napping and Hiram iilches from this city of conservatism the Hub of the universe. For, is not Ohio the center, and Hiram the center of the center, and must not the Hub be placed so that its vast intellectual thought may but radiate through all the area to the outer rim of this small wheel which our poor little Ego calls the universe. Thus Hiram sits like Rome upon her seven hills, mistress of all she surveys, in the Spring of her Jubilee Year and in the Springtime of her Power and Influence. She is a city set upon a hill-a city bathed in the after-glow of duties well performed and touched by the splendor of future possibilities, a city which attracts to its throbbing center the wisdom-seekers of the world. 132 a n i 5 s r EMI:-v-rvr' rr'-s'-m'1-m-i1.'u-wrv-r'fM'-'1- I H i f fiyrfb 4'-z f QWZII Q Y MA she teke anl tole me to come up heah an' ax ye did fX 'VW fc-f 'fn 'l'l'l'l'!

U I The red and yellow leaves fell slowly, lingering to the green earth beneath, and there was a touch of pathos about the gaunt, bare trees, the withering leaves and the setting sun. Through the white cotton field a few belated negroes were hurrying homeward and the red bandannas on the heads of the women gave just the dash of color needed in the wilderness of white and black. Their fresh, sweet voices blended in an evening hymn and the peace of an autumn twilight settled over the landscape. The little hgure moved to attract attention, then spoke again. My ma she teke an' tole me to come up heah an' ax ye did ye want to git any washin' did. One dusty bare foot was rubbed up and down the other leg, while the little black hands clutched the battered old hat nervously and there was a suggestion of tears in the voice. He was a striking addition to the pictureg the ragged shirt was open in front, leaving bare the bony, black breast, the sleeves were torn from the cuffs to the shoulders and hung gracefully down as you have seen in the flowing robes of the Grecians. His trousers were patched, or to be more exact, his patches were trousers, and if Mrs. Porter had wanted a rainbow to complete the landscape at which she had been looking, these trousers might have answered, for they were of many colors. He seemed so in harmony with his surroundings, this little black tramp, his bare arms and the bare branches, the suggestion of tears and the falling autumn leaves. It was all 133 in a minor key-the barefooted boy, the ragged trees and the setting sun-and they touched the minor chord in the woman's life and drew her into the picture. What is your name and where do you live? Mrs. Porter asked kindly. ' My name hit am Adolphus Brown, an' I lives down yander at the foot ob de hill an' my ma she aint got no work an' I'm hongry, he ended in a wail, and the tears in his voice streamed from his eyes. Mrs. Porter led him into the kitchen, and while his eager eyes followed her she placed on the table ive slices of bread with plenty of sorghum molasses, a piece of cold meat, a plate of biscuits and half of an apple pie. There, Adolphus, what do you think of that? The little fellow stood up, rolled his eyes to the ceiling, his mouth worked like the rod of a steam engine, his toes squirmed on the floor and he took a long breath. Ieminy VVhilikins. The little imp cut a caper that nearly upset his equilibrium, then remembering his surroundings, he clapped his hand over his mouth and settled himself to satisfy his hunger. - O Lawd, he said, ef der'd a bin a water million, a possum an' sweet 'taters, a whole chicken an' some corn pone an, pot liquor I'd a thought I done died au' gone to heaben. it 94- -E2 Plf Pk 3- '39 it :NL it E6 Here I am, mother, did you call me?'l Adolphus looked up and saw a little figure standing in the glow of the setting sun that streamed through the open door. No one ever knew when little Dick was coming, his step was so much like the touch of the sunlight, and came as noiselessly. Adolphus was puzzled, he rubbed his eyes, took another half slice of bread and molasses in his mouth and said: - Who's you? This is my boy Richard, Adolphus, and Richard, this is Adolphus Brown, his mother is out of work and he was so hungry. Dick smiled, Dick often smiled, he seemed so a part of that sumbeam out of which he had stepped and so full of its radiance. He was about the age of Adolphus, though not nearly so large, his bright yellow hair was ,parted on the right side and combed' back from a high, white brow, his eyes were a deep violet blue, shaded by long, dark lashes, his face was delicate, but so aglow with boyish fun that a faint joyous Hush gave it always a heightened color and made it beautiful. Adolphus took him all in, from the ruffled waist to the buckled slippers, and then- what was that under his arms, something he seemed to be leaning on. K Sticks? Couldn't he stand up without those sticks? What was that his grandpappy had to help him walk when he was, lame? Crutches-yes, that was it-crutches, but why did Richard have to lean on crutches? 134 Adolphus stood up and, going close to the little fellow, said: Is you lame? I'l1 be yere crutch. I use to be grandpappy's crutch when he got 'is foot smashed. Kin I be 'is crutch? 'X he pleaded, turning to Mrs. Porter. -V - There is a free masonry of childhood never dreamed of, a small childworld of sympathy never understood, and it was this that caused the little white hand to lose itself in the larger black one and the great blue eyes to smile into the dusky face with confidence and gratitude. That night after the white bed had been made ready, the ruffled waist and buckled slippers put carefully away and the good-nights said, the little black tramp was discussed. Dick seems to have taken such a fancy to him, said the mother, and I'm sure Adolphus will be kind to him. Then let him come, answered Mr. Porter, and, rising, led his wife into the little bed- room. It was still and white and peaceful. They kissed the sleeping child, picked up one fallen crutch and gently replaced it, then silently closed the door. The angels do always behold the face of the Father which is in Heaven. if 59 M- 95 54- ii- it 96 Q? EC' 96 6 Such a happy winter followed, Adolphus and Dick were inseparable companions. You's white an' I's black, but dat aint make no diffence. You's day an' I's night, but aint de night got a foller de day round to keep nothin' fum happenin' to it. I aint one 0' dese yere yaller niggers, one o' dese yere twilight niggers, dey aint much, dey aint de quality D nigger, spec I want my face wid a layer ob somin' what look like sof' soap all ober it? I wants to be one ting or 'totherg I wants to be white or black, I wants to go straight up or straight down, and as he pointed downward to the lower extreme of eternity with a long black nnger a superstitious shiver ran through his frame and a grirnace convulsed his face with a look both terrifying and comical. Dey do say, he continued, and Dick knowing by I I l experience that only corn bread and sorghum would stop Adolphus once he was started to moralize, rolled himself over on his back in front of the library fire and prepared himself to listen. Dey do say dat sperits what aint done had dey robes washed, gwin come back moanin' an' groanin' an' a warnin' dey friends what aint died yit to make haste an' take 'em off an git 'em washed. ' i Oh, I say, Dolph, what are you talking about. Did you ever see a ghost? I'm not afraid of ghosts. ' Good Lawd, Marse Dick, dun talk lak dat, dun you know ef you say you aint feared dey gwin hant you? N 91+ -72 ak ,v as ,Q The busy winter days chased each other swiftly by. Dick went to school and every morning they started out -- together, Adolphus carrying the books and lunch basket, Dick hobbling blithely along on his Wooden feetf' as he laughingly called his crutches. And in the evening Dolph was always waiting, perched upon the highest post of the school- yard fence with his cap on his ear and his hands in his pockets, whistling and singing. When the snow covered the ground and the little crutches were not always safe he brought the long red sled, and packing boy and books and basket on almost with motherly tenderness drew it over the slippery pavements. How merry they were. Dolph was now a wild, prancing horse, and Dick, laughing at his antics, could hardly hold him. Now he was a snorting Texas pony, and now, over the rough places, a gentle family horse, what couldn't run away ef Gabriel blowed his horn an' shouted ' all aboad fer de promised lan., Always in the evening mother and Dick had their twilight talk, and Dolph, curled up at their feet, would listen with all of his intense nature alert. Sometimes, when Dick was not too tired, they would go through the cotton iield to Uncle David's cabin and there, watching the smoke curl up from the old man's pipe, they would listen breathlessly to his stories of Ubefo the war. He would always close the evening in the same way. I done libed heah in dis yere spot, yas, right in dis yere bery spot, for nigh onto nfty years, chillun. I's born down in Georgy neahly ninety years ago and I's ready to go. I lobes ole Tennessee an' I lobes de South an, de cotton fields an' you all, but Ps ready to go, de ole man's ready to go. He aint gwin say: 'No, Lawd, not yit,' when he heahs de call. He jes' gwin say: 'Yes, Lawd, I's bin a waitin', jes let de ole man git his baccy an' his book an' he's ready to go.' And then before they said good night he would take down that old book from its corner on the shelf where it lay in state amid strings of red peppers, onions and tobacco, all precious in the old man's sight, and adjusting the steel-rimnied spectacles to his failing eyes would read to his children. Jes so, he would say, H ef de chariot ob de Lawd com fer Dave dis night he kin say, ' Yes, Lawd, I done 'splain de blessed book to de wanderin' chillun ob Israel an' I's ready fer my mansion up yonder! One night in the early spring, as they were leaving, Uncle David said : Do1ph, you teke keer dis yere chile-honey, seems lak somehow yo looks onnatualiy pale-rnebbe not ' do,' niebbe not, mought jes be de ole man's eyes gittin' dim like, but, Dolph, yo heah me, I say tek keer dis precious lamb, and spreading his old black hands out over the heads of the children he prayed,- Dese am de chillen ob de Kind, keep 'em in de holler ob thy han', O Gowd, fer de good Lawd's sake, Amen. - The moon was shining brightly as they crossed the corner of the field 5 both boys were im- pressed with the solemnity of the old man's prayer. They walked along silently for a while, Adolphus clearing the way for the crutches and gently helping his comrade over the rough places. A 136 Dolph, said Dick, looking up at the 7 stars, do you believe in angels? ' What's that? I dun know nothin' bout them thingsg used to be a bug got on pappy's terbaccy plants, an him, an I killed en.1g that what yo mean? No, not that,'l said Dick thoughtfully. O, Dolph, don't you know We put a caterpillar in a box last winter to see it go to sleep in its crysalis and we've forgotten all about it, less hurry home and see what it is doing. But what uz them things you's talkin' bout? Angels, said Dick softly, they're God's messengers, an' it kinder seemed like I heard the whiz of their wings when Uncle Dave said Amen so solemn like. Dick didn't come down stairs the next day, he was tired, he said, and so Adolphus carried up all their playthings, horses and wagons, balls and tops, blocks and guns and books. There were some little tin soldiers and immediately war was declared, the bullets whizzed, the thunder rolled, and the battle raged, while Dick, all his boyish imagination stirred to the depths, shouted the orders in a fresh, ringing voice. And then the wounds of the valiant men were carefully dressed, the noble dead laid to rest with honors in the mother's work basket, with spools for head stones and variegated buttons for flowers. Dick was tired now, the smell of the powder made him sleepy, he said, and so Adolphus drew the blinds down, shook up and turned over the hot pillow, smoothed the white coverlid, and laid it gently over his tired little playmate. Dick smiled his U thank you Hand the room was still. The mother coming in at twilight found it so. W'alking quickly to the bed her foot touched something soft. It moved, and one black hand went up into the air. Stan' back till ye give de pass Word, ready, aim, fire, then, wakened by the sound of his own voice, Adolphus sprang to his feet and slapping his face with his own hand said, Shet yo mouf, Adolphus Washington Brown, dun yo know Gen. Dick's sleepin' an' he don want no black trash lak yo sturbin' him. Dick was still tired the next day, and the next, and the next. The doctor thought the was every tired, and shook his head when he passed from the room. Malaria fever, he said g he must have good nursing and be kept very quiet. Adolphus haunted the room. Every morning he brought out some of the old playthings, but beyond a faint smile could not interest the little fellow g so he took to the woods for the early spring flowers and brought them in all shining with dew. 137 ' Mawnin, he would say, as he stepped into the room and dropped his cap on the floor, I jes drapped in to git de gen'al's orders fer de day and p'sent my compl'ments, and with a bow that would have done honor to a Chesterfield, he would tender his token of love. 1 Brave little black tramp-he would cut capers while his heart was breaking-would tell funny stories while he wiped his overflowing eyes on his old coat sleeve. The doctor came every morning and always he met the same shining face, always in response to his How's the. boy P would come the cheery answer, I'm fine. During all those weeks of suffering, not one word of complaint passed the brave lips, and when Dick was lifted tenderly for medicine or a sup of cold water, there was always the smiling thank you '? as it was given, while the cheeks grew paler and the blue eyes brighter. Dolph would not go to his bed. I can't, he said, I jes' can't, and he swallowed hard to keep back the tears. I'm his crutch. I bin his crutch long tirneg I got a be here, so's when he wants 'is crutch quick, he kin jes lean on me. And so he would bring his quilt to the house, and when the quiet of the night had settled over the home, the night lamp lit and burning. the patient mother and father watching, he would curl up outside the door, a faithful guardian. Dolph, said Dick one morning, when he seemed brighter, sit down, I want to talk to you. Dolph sat down on the edge ofa chair, his toes turned in on the floor, his hands pulling the ravelings from his hat, his eyes were large, and bright and serious. Dolph, said Dick, do you love me ? The little black figure quiveredg quick as a flash he was on his knees by the white bed, his hard, black hands tightening on the frail white ones. I ain't nothin' but a poor black nigger. He was choking with sobs, dis yere Dolph ain't nebber had nobody to love twel little Dick took 'in1. Does I love yo'? I loves yo' more'n I do God g God, who's he? Thought he could do eve'ything. Reckon I's gwin to love him when he aint holpen you to git up outen dis bed of he kin do it-spec lak es not he's done gone oifsomers else, butt. He straightened up. his eyes enlarged until they wild, he clutched his woolly head with his hand, his jaw dropped and a look of horror were crossed his face. Yo' aint a thinkin' 'bout leavin' us, is yo', little Dick? God ain't called yo' is he ?- O, Lawd, dun take him 5 ef yo' wants some one to wait on yo' teke dis poor black nigger, but dun teke we alls Dick, dun do it Lawcl, Dolph can't git along widout him. The woolly head was buried inthe bed clothes. 'H Adolphus, you musn't talk that way about God, he can cure me, maybe he Will, but you must love him, love him more than you do me or the tin soldiers or anybody, and Dolph if-if God should want me would you always stay with mother and do things for her and take care of the pets and bury the tin soldiers when they're killed. I'll do it, little Dick. .133 The white hand was laid on the bowed head while the old sweet smile touched the happy face. It was an April day without and within, sometimes the sun, sometimes the shadow and very often the rain. Late at night Uncle David came with the old Worn book under his arm-he leaned heavily on his cane and climbed the stairs slowly and painfully. Well, bless me ef dis 'aint cu'iousg de chile what's so full of sperits yo couldn't hole him lyin' here so still like and the ole wore out man settin' by his side. De Lawd knows bes'. I reckon hels tending to things and weuns kin nebber onderstan' de workin's ob de Almighty? The doctor came and spoke cheerfully. Better, he said, some better, but quiet, very quiet. I I From a dark corner of the room came a sob. The doctor said sternly, Dolph, leave the room. Dolph stood up. I Wont, he said, every inch of the little body quivering, the hands went doggedly into the pockets, the feet planted themselves firmly on the floor, the teeth were clinched and the eyes blazing. Dolph, come here. The words were like magic, the attitude of defiance vanished as quickly as it came, and creeping to the bed he put his cheek in the suiferer's hand and cried softly. Dolph belongs here,', Dick said quietly, and Dolph stayed. Opening his book the old man read: , I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord which made Heaven and earth it 'I X' Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth give I unto you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. He raised his hand and the heads were bowed: Deah Lawd jesus, reach down thy loving han' an' comfo't dese sorrowin' chilleng oh, Lawd, dey have been faithful, dey have sarved Thee all they lives, dun chasen 'em more'n dey kin stan'g Lawd, leave 'em de precious white lamb. O. Gowd, wont rle ole man do, teke do ole woreout man, Gowd, he wants to go, but dun tell de angel to get dis little flow'r. O Lawdfole Dave loves him, We all loves him, but keep dis ole heart still deah Lawd, and holp we all to say KThy will be done.' Ef yo' want, him Gowd, holp us to let him go, an' take him straight home to de blessed Jesus. Amen. - The night passed quietly and the joy of a bright Easter day touched with life the sleeping world. It was a dawn of bursting blossoms and twittering birds, a dawn aching with the' pain of pleasure, a dawn brimming with joy and bending down the green grass blades with tears of rapture. At the Hrst chirp of a bird Dick opened his eyes. Dolph, he said, Where's the-the-crysa-lis? His breath was short, but when 139 Dolph brought the box he smiled while it was opened g a gorgeous butterfly crawled from the empty shell and spread its beautiful wings, still damp with the prison air. Dolph gave a cry of delightg then up, into the room and out of the window Hoated the soul of the caterpiller, out into the beauty of a sunny Southern spring. There Dolph, that's---that's like an angel. -X' 66 9? 94- 56 - -B6 96' 66 -7? 96 96 it How's the boy? said the Doctor, stepping cheerily into the room. The blue eyes closed and the old smile lingered. A beautiful soul joyously entered the Easter Land, just as a morning sunbeam, streaming through the window, touched with light the shining face of a sleeping child. HATTIE P. BosWELL.

If you ' K 71:q 'XV U should see the houses in New Year you would see many Q I ' n y . strange things. First of all there are native flags over . ' I the door of the houses. On each of the gates there is a little bamboo and pine tree-this represents long life. Then rope and paper will be twined around the gate to keep off the devils, so they say. Sometimes oranges will be put the same way in front of the houses 3 that is a sign of old age. A small, pretty little box is tacked upon the houses for New Year cards. All through the month of january the people very busy making calls. The first week they only come and put their card in the box 3 do not come in as have many calls to make. Some of the poor people still keep February. From I3-20 August is great time for Buddhist people in Japan. Buddhist people think ghost coming back in that time, so the evening I3 of August people wear robe and take very pretty flowers, go to the grave, and offer ghost of their family or their friend. Some of them take feast too. In this time people send presents to their friends and neighbors and they invite them each other for great feast and they dance with many kind music. p In north of Japan it is very cold there and some place snow is five feet high or more on the ground, but children come to Sunday School on their straw shoes. In some Sunday School we have no stove so we use charcoal in the brazier instead of stove. Though some of children look so poor and shivering, their dresses not warm enough they sing the song warming their icy hand-happy and cheerful forgetting their shivering. In February the snow of Eve feet or more high is frozen hard so everybody can walk upon the snow. In that time we take Sunday School children and go to Plain for a running march and sometime hunt the rabbit. When we go to hunt the rabbit we take dogs too because while we play and sledging, we let the dogs go and find the rabbit that hidden in the hole in the ground. We have such nice times in February. I4I Cbrougb Eslvvt and the Bolv Land 666 IEXTRACTS FROM PERSONAL LETTERS YVRITTEN TO HIRAM FRIENDS BY MRS CORA CLARK CooLEv.j PvRAM1Ds, CAIRO, February 26, 1900. You may think of me as writing this letter in the shadow of the pyramids, for they are not more than roo feet away.. We expected to have been almost through Palestine by this time, but we have found everything so interesting here, far beyond what I expected, that we have prolonged our stay. It has all been a great revelation to me, both of modern and ancient Egypt, and I had not the faintest conception of what Egypt really is. I had expected to ind mummies and hieroglyphics galore, and of course have not been disappointed in that, but I have been most happily disappointed in Ending all along the Nile the gigantic remains of most beautiful temples, many of them in a wonderful state of preservation after 4,000 years. The one at Karnak is especially fine. Baedecker even goes so far as to rank it among f' the wonders of the world. I The Nile trip was delightful from beginning to end. As I look back upon it, it seems hard'to tell which was the most enjoyable, the steamer rides, the donkey rides across the desert and through palm groves and native villages, or the scenes which daily occurred upon the arrival and departure of our steamer, and I think it must be the combination of all which makes the Nile trip one of the finest in the world. I have been greatly surprised to find Cairo a very fashionable winter resort, much frequented by the English aristocracy, and the very wealthy Americans. The modern Cairo is indeed very attractive, with wide streets, handsome resi- dences, and fine shops. It is gayer even than Paris, and I have never seen any- where such elegant and swell turnoutsf' These all have outrunners, dressed in white, embroidered in gold, who run before the carriages to clear the way. We have been fortunate in being here at the time of a number of national fetes and religious festivals. On Friday we witnessed the elaborate ceremonies connected with the starting of the holy carpet H for Mecca, the day before we saw the dancing and howling dervishes, and another day -we saw the Khedive go to prayer in the oldest Mosque in Cairo. As he does this only once a year, there is a great deal of pomp and parade connected with the ceremony. I End the old Cairo more interesting with its narrow, winding streets and many bazaars. We have been down in that part so often that I know every crack I42 and turn of it, and have had great fun making , purchases there. We start to-morrow with a small party for I jerusalem, and will take a part of the camping trip through Palestine. BU JERUSALEM, March 4, rgoo. i This is Sunday in Jerusalem, and we have been to the services in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. We. reached here on Thursday, everything along the way here having been most propitious, Even the dreaded landing at SOLVE ,Ts R,,,,,,,,,, Joppa proved to be a very easy thing, owing largely of course to the ine weather. We were invited, while in Cairo, to join a party of sixteen for a month's tour in Palestine, with Rollo Floyd as guide, he is con- sidered the finest guide there is for Palestine, and we think ourselves very for- tunate in having secured his services. We shall spend about ten days more here, visiting in that time, Hebron, Bethlehem, Bethany, Jericho, the jordan and Dead Sea, in addition to all points of interest in and about Jerusalem. We then start on a camping tour of about eighteen days, after which we sail for Constantinople. I can hardly realize that we are really in Jerusalem, walking through the streets which our Savior trod. Yesterday we visited the Mosque of Omar, which is built on the site of Solomon's Temple. In order to gain access to this mosque, we were obliged to be accompanied by a representative of the American Consul and a Turkish guard. Otherwise we would have been stoned to death by the Mohammedans. This is their most sacred mosque next to Mecca, and the most beautiful one in the world. It is a perfect gem, all marble and mosaic, adorned most richly and profusely with gold leaf. In the center of the building is a very large rack, where the sacrificial altar of the temple stood. Of course there is so much tradition connected with the actual history that it is hard to separate the two, but there is still enough certain to make everything very interesting. The first thing we did on reaching here was to ascend to the roof of the high- est house, to get a general view of the city. From there we could see the Mount of Olives, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, the place believed to have been the scene of Calvary, the path by which David iied from Absalom 5 in the distance Mizpah, Gibeah, and many others which I have not mentioned. Jerusalem is much more picturesque than I had supposed, and although the streets are very dirty, they INTERVIEWING THE SPHINX AND TRYING T0 I-43 are not as bad as I had expected to see. It seemed very strange this morning when we reached the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, to see it guarded by a large band of Turkish soldiers. There is always a Turkish guard there, but whenever there are services, it is greatly reinforced. This is necessary, to keep the differ- ent Christian sects from killing each other. The Church is held by these differ- ent sects: Roman Catholics, Greeks, Armenians and Copts, and each has a chapel for services. This afternoon, we Went to the hill, Which, according to most authorities, is thought to be the one on which the crucifixion occurred. Near by, in the valley below, near a garden, we saw a tomb cut into the rock, which is thought to be the one in which our Savior was laid. Of course this is not certain, but every- thing seems to help to prove it so. It was discarded several years ago, illed with rubbish. I was never more impressed than by the sight of that simple rock-cut tomb, as we all passed in and stood silently about it. It was an afternoon which we will long remember. if 'N A K ,iii 0, .QEA N i WA il lf-il I T ill' i T lf' 'i . l'lM-W. ,law ,, saws! ,,zL+1'.r a f'.. a .. . 144 'SC 091 Yvf Q v Uri ri 'Q ll Bow Poppie Zhapman Got to Go to de Pasket Pall Game - 3 3 3 SEE dot mosd efferpody wrides somedings for dose Sbiderveps, nowtays, und I tought praps meppe I can do dot too, so I wride all apout dot ebizode vot dook blace lasht january de 26, you know-order uf you dond know, den I dells you.

They had met early in the autumn and he had been her constant attendant ever since. She knew that he was said to be a flirt and yet-he had seemed so sincere with her always and they had been such good friends. And now, to her, it meant something more than friendship. As for him-could she trust the words and acts which seemed so full of meaning? The sun was dropping lower and it would soon be time to go. Suddenly she broke the long silence that had fallen upon them. I have something to tell you. 'Well ? A friend of mine is coming tomorrow and-and I want you to meet him, she finished ill embarrassment. He turned quickly. Jealousy makes the flight of imagination swift and direct. VVant me to meet him, he repeated. So it's a gentleman. Is it a brother or a cousin? Tell me that he is one or the other, and he reached out and took one small hand in his own. 'K He is neither, she answered steadily, giving him a glance which conveyed more unmistakably that which she meant him to understand from her words. There came a blank look into his face and all the happiness died out of it. But you didn't tell me there was any other. No, I didn't think it was necessary, Not think it was necessary I He looked at her in utter astonishment. Could this cold-hearted, cruel girl, who sat there calmly informing him that he had been her plaything for a year, be the gentle Margaret he had known in the sweet months past? A thought, an explanation of her strange manner occurred to him. Perhaps there were unusual circumstances, such as he had read of in romances, which were forcing this man upon her against her own wish. Here was a gleam of hope. He bent toward her eagerly, his eyes 146 had been a long, beautiful afternoon and they had spent it together in Big Hol- searching hers, commanding the truth, yet pleading with her to say No U to the question on his lips, Do you love him? H Yes. He straightened himself and shut his lips tightly. He had been a fool and she-she had been that creature which he had always despised-a coquette. Bitter words were upon his ftongue, but he kept them back. After all, what right had he to reproach her? Margaret saw the pain and the anger in his face-saw and was satisfied. Come, he said roughly, and meekly she obeyed. In silence they walked along the 'familiar path, he with tumultuous thoughts raging through his heart, and she trying to still an accusing conscience. They came to the fence. As he helped her down on the other side, he caught and kissed her. Why, john, she began. That one belonged to me, he interrupted coolly. When they reached the Hall she looked up at him. VVill you come over tomorrow after dinner ? What did she mean by it all? Why should she want him to come over when-when the -other fellow was there? Desire and pride struggled together. I have something to say to youf' she urged. But he'll be here. Never mind. I will not embarrass you in any way, you know that. Will you come? There was no withstanding the big gray eyes which, full of entreaty, gazed up at him. I-Ie gave a reluctant, almost gruff, assent and walked away, wondering if his ears were growing any longer. -it JG 56 , il' 56 64- -39 -it it 54- it Promptly at 12:30 the next day he came sauntering up the walk, called for Margaret Stone, and was shown into the reception room, where he seated himself on the piano stool .and tried to assume a most exaggerated air of indifference. Presently Margaret came rustling in, her eyes sparkling and a smile, which seemed to be longing to break into a merry laugh, hovering about her mouth. Behind her came a portly, -gray-haired man, of perhaps fifty years of age. john, let me present my friend, Mr. Stone-Mr. Hartwell. John Hartwell possessed a reasonable amount of the self-control which society teaches to -one who moves in it constantly, yet on this extraordinary occasion it forsook him utterly. A look of blank amazement overspread his face and he actually stared. ' He is also my father, John, Margaret added with solemn gravity. . ..--.-..-...,,-,. .-nr....,,.,-,, . .. ?-'Si- a ' 'if E'af i?1'2sf1eai!?-2Signer! nf - .1 gelf gelefk If 147 iii? in , f?4'l'9llFi ?fzfx'f if' JJEL 9 QV U NE! 3 '53 w ifi NM 1 n 'fa-1 YAJED ,Qi-'SQ 'F ,Xu 2 , V ' , kwa' lf: ill gf 1!X '.Q,. ,uyx f 1'f qgbJ6Hl W x 'SN 71D R'TbE , ' lgfk l i D ' Z ' 'L' A ' f y gli' ' 2 ' t Hn 0de to Desperatnon !

Perched upon a fence post, drowsily whistling Tell me do you love me, and Whittling the While, sits little Ely Vaughan Zollars. On the post opposite, sitting as sedately as possible under the circumstances, her chubby little face nearly hidden in a pink sunbonnet, is little Marcia Henry. I say, Ely, says Marcia, you haven't said a word for two whole minutes g you're not feeling ill this morning, are you? 'l No, of course not, I was just a-thinkingif' O, ventures the naughty Marcia, I knew something was upf' Now, look a-here Marcia, you are a girl and therefore a goose-and I suppose a boy like me ought to let you babble on if you get any pleasure out of it and not pay any attention to your nonsense, but I'm cross this morning and I can't stand it, if you want to stay on that fence post you had better - -. ' There now, Ely, don't be angry with me. Maybe you'd like to tell me what you were thinking about, and get it off your mind. Lord Byron used to tell his troubles to his dog, you know, and it relieved him immensely, they sayfl Well, Marcia, to tell the truth, I'm getting just about tired of this sort of business- plowing, and haying, and chopping wood and the like. I tell you, I'm ambitious. I want to go out into the world. . What. will you do when you get there, Ely? H ventures the little girl. Well, give me a chance and I'1l tell you. I was just thinking that I should like to be a lecturer or something, I think, and I want a chance to talk. I would lecture, and lecture and-. Maybe people would get tired of listening to you, Ely. O, I guess not, says Ely with a good-natured laugh. If they did-why, they could just get tired, that's all. But I say, Marcia, what are you going to do bye and bye, when you grow up? You're pretty young yet though, so maybe you haven't decided. 153 O yes I have, though, declares the little girl. Kate Parmly and I are going to write a book on 'Etiquette for ' iii 'H Young Ladies? ' A Good gracious! I You don't mean it, do you, Marcia? X AU ' I suppose it's all right for young ladies to sit on fence-posts? X A Now, see here, Ely Vaughan. Don't try to practice any of your lectures on me, for Iwon't listen to them, an-d with a little jump Marcia X lands on the sidewalk and disappears around the corner of the house. Q ae as ae at ee as ee wk Q Down in the garden, sitting upon two pumpkins, earnestly discussing the question of whether or not Adam was an orangoutang, sit little K ' Edmund Wakefield and Bailey Sulton Dean. ,I What you say is all very true, Edmund, says Bailey. I have K XX ii some serious doubts about the statement myself, but you don't go at it xx Q just as I should. Now, I I always make outlines of my arguments and finland! then I don't get tangled up and get the cart before the horse. Yes, I have heard about your outlines, Bailey, says the little Edmund. I'm glad you like them, and I'll bet they're glad too, poor things-it's awful to be absolutely friendless in this cold world. Now look here, Ed I begins the irate Bailey Sulton, but he is interrupted by a small boy who rushes up bare headed, his hair flying in the breeze. Hello, there, Paul, calls out the little Edmund. WhaL's up? Bon jour, monsieurs, die mamma hat gesagt das ich ein party al fresco haben kann-apfel, orange, kuchen, suggerwerk, niisse-O satis superque ! Geh and wash- your hands and du kanst kommen. Mach schnell-tempus fugit and tarde venientibus ossa. Adje and he rushes off. O my lungs and liver ! O my heart and gizzard I howls the little Bailey, kicking his heels into the pumpkin, What in the name of the people does he want ? I-I-guess he wants us to wash our hands, ventures Edmund after some deliberation, but he needn't tear around like that about it-I don't very often wash my hands to please anybody until I get ready, but there comes father, Bailey, maybe we had better begin to move around a little g and the two boys leave the pumpkins and return to their Work. 'K it -X- it N- N Pk it W it W 96 A cheery-faced woman stands at the front of a neat little cottage, looking down the hill at a crowd of boys playing ball. One little boy she seems to single out from the rest and regard with a look of the deepest pride. After a time she picks up a pail of water that stands near and starts toward the house. Up the hill at a bound comes the little boy. O don't try to carry that, little mother, it is too heavy for you, and taking the pail from her hand he carries it into the house. 154 O, Elmer, don't you want to come up and help me a little bit?

' 96 PK 96 94 96 96 96 96 'X' A neat little girl in a blue gingham apron is sitting before an easel with a brush and colors in her hand. Before her, snuggled up in the soft cushions of a great arm chair, lies a little kitten that she has taken for a model. U Now pussy, don't move, says little Allie Dean, and I'll try to be quick about it, and get a very good picture of you. O, dear, there's mother calling and I must go and see what she wants. Now, pussy dear, don't run 05, will you? I'1l be right back. Little Allie is gone only a few moments, but when she returns the kitten is nowhere to be found. She searches the house, but in vain, she searches the yard, but it is useless. I-Iarlanf' she calls over the fence to a neighbor boy, did you see my kitten anywhere? I was just going to paint her picture and-why Harlan, what are you doing I Allie, you don't-you don't suppose that this is your cat, do you? I'm so sorry! I never thought of it being yours? Harlan Myron Page! You don't-you can't mean to tell me that that is my cat that you have cut to pieces like that! Q, what shall I do I! I'm awfully sorry, Allie, but I thought it was just a stray cat, and I did so want to see how long its heart would beat after its head was cut off, and look at the vocal chords and see what made it meow. But I'm awfully sorry, and I'll give you most anything if you won't cry, dear. O, my heart is broken I I shall never nnd another cat like that,', sobbed little Allie. Don't ever think that I shall like you any more. You cruel, naughty ,boy ! And with a little wail she runs into the house and up into the attic to have her cry out. Five minutes later, Harlan Myron, who is sitting near the fence which separates the two yards, his head in his hands, looking depressed enough to suit anybody, hears a voice close at his elbow. Harlan, you aren't feeling bad, are you? I'm sorry I was so cross, but never mind. We'll have a splendid little funeral, and you can make a little cotiin, and it will be gorgeous. We'll have Hugh preach the funeral sermon. Now you won't feel had any more, will you? ' Allie, you're a trump! and I'1l get you one of the loveliest cats you ever saw.

I should hope you would, for your sake, Coleman, says little Emma Ryder, signin- cantly. You had better do your own calculating, anyhow, then if you get into trouble for going to the circus, you can't blame me. Don't say a word, and I'll tell you something, Coleman. Peckham's going to that circus, and he didn't ask any one to figure out his problem, either. You see he is going to do it this way: You know Peckham's great on a joke. Well you know that Torn Wild and Bill West are great friends of Peckham's. Now, when Peckham comes in late his father always calls down stairs and asks him where he's been. So when Peckham gets in, and his father calls down stairs: 'George Alfred, where have you been? l George will answer, to see Wild and NVi1lie West, father! ' Is the barn door locked?

Smart lad, Peckham? 156 Two little boys, George Henry Colton and Arthur Chester Pierson, have just come into the laboratory, You just lay this hat on that table, please, and weigh that piece of graphite, will you, Arthur, says the little George Henry, and I'll have the experiment done in a minute and we'll get there before the rest of the fellows do-you'll see. Now don't say a word to me Arthur, but just do what I asked you, and I'll hurry and finish this, and the little George Henry goes to work. Let me see-what did he tell me to do? queries the little Arthur Chester, thoughtfully. O yes, I am to lay this piece of graphite on the table and weigh his hat. Wonder what he wants me to weigh his hat for-Colton always was an odd fellow, but here goes, and Arthur Chester tosses the piece of graphite on the table and places the hat carefully upon the scales. All ready! My experiment will be finished now in a second, announces George Henry. How much does that weigh? It lacks just one ounce and a half of being a pound? Of being a what? Look a here, Pierson, what are you doing with my hat ? Well, didn't you just tell me to weigh that hat P No I didn't. I said ' throw my hat on the table and weigh that piece of graphitef but never mind, Arthur, it's all right, I can do it now and finish the thing in no time.

Now, the theory that some people have for- mulated, that teachers invariably wear glasses and, with a few happy exceptions, are destined, from the day they enter the school room, to live in single blessedness, is by no means valid. Nevertheless, it is true that teachers are nearly all theoretical per. sons by natural consequence. Anna did not wear glasses, and the singleness or plurality of her blessedness yet remains or her destiny to determine, but one of her theories, as she gave it verbally to her sister, was this: I could marry one good man as well as another, provided he had no peculiarities and loved me. A young woman who has arrived at an age of discretion should let her reason make way for her affections, and whenever I have an offer, if ever I do, I shall consider the matter from a practical standpoint. Considering that Anna had arrived at the mature age of twenty-two and should, therefore, know her own mind, and, furthermore, that she was decidedly pretty, the very girl some disadvantageous fellow would be likely to fancy, it seemed that the future might have an ominous look for somebody. But, to tell the truth, Anna lived in one of those forsaken communities where the men, for the most part, had either gone West or joined the army or married long ago, and were there- fore scarce-say one to ifteen girls. Anna knew no man worth a second thought, unless it were Mr. Reynolds, of the Reynolds SL Burton Chair Company, in whose works her brother-in' law, Mr. Osborne, was foreman. Mr. Reynolds was a grave, quiet man, and often came to the house to talk with Mr. Osborne of politics and books as well as of the factory. Sometimes he talked with Anna, both being interested in mineralogy, and because she appreciated Thackeray who was his favorite writer. He had once taken her to the theatre, but had never mentioned going againg much less had he made love to her. Troubles never come singly. The three small Osbornes were all taken ill with scarlet fever, and Anna was placed under quarantine with the family and had a substitute at school. The old family physican, Dr. Brown, was himself in bed with grippe and young Dr. Benson, a stranger to the Osbornes, was called, as he had won something of a reputation of late by curing Judge Gray's wife's rheumatism. Anna had to play nurse to the two older children, for the tiny one was for some time at death's door, and needed the mother to be with him. Dr. Benson was more than attentive 159 1 A A 41, QE' rf to his duty, and now for the strange part of it-it was evi- f K 44 ' . . . M , ' f if-Q ident from the Hrst he had fallen in love with Anna. He P' if ' W fg made not a shadow of an attempt to conceal it. His eyes, W, ' E if , I - I , , HQ- y his tones, his manner toward her told the story more plainly , 'tw ' K, ' aif,:.Q? every day. Her sweet patience with her little nieces and ' - ll tl . U Z e her womanly ways at home were suiiicient to attract any V n f I 5 man. They held his attention more firmly than the violet gown she had worn to the theatre with Mr. Reynolds, and that had held it, for to tell the truth Benson had sat behind her that evening and watched her so closely that he had lost the thread of the play. These weeks, otherwise so dreary, were interesting for Anna. Again and again she smiled absently, and sometimes said to herself almost articulately, His eyes area little like David's.i' Now, David had been a college sweetheart g she had been engaged to him when he graduated and went to New York to study law. Upstairs in her desk there was still a package of letters in his handwriting but she had not read them for ages, and all that about David was a thing of the past. Mr. Reynolds sent Bowers almost every day while the Gsbornes were kept indoors, but Anna, though they came in her name, considered them a family compliment. However on the morning after the quarantine was raised, in the most beautiful box yet received from him came a note which startled her. I never could say anything about it. You have always seemed so-I cannot find the adjective. I have loved you all along. If you care at all, only tell me to come. If you do not, I must stop coming. I am not a man who knows how to win a woman's affection, but I will try to learn if you will only say the one word-come. This is only a little of the letter but you can see what it was like. The night before this missive came the doctor had taken Anna to drive. She looked worn out, he said, and thefresh air would do her good. She knew very Well what was coming and fully intended to accept him, but for some unaccountable reason it seemed impossible, though he pleaded his cause eloquently and admirably apologized for proposing after three short weeks' acquaintance. It was because he loved her so, he could not be patient and wait. Can it be, she thought, trembling as he spoke so fervently, that his eyes after all are not like David's. David's were so calm and deep. What has this to do with it? The letters must be burned-burned- burned ! She felt that she would choke. She must have time. She asked a week. This morning Anna glowed with inward excitement. Mr. Reynolds' letter complicated matters, for he was the richer and should be the more desirable. She must apply her theory. She went to the desk and wrote: Come, then crossed it and said to herself, the doctor-David-the letters. This she repeated several times, then with the doctor is more like David and is so much younger, she wrote to him a formal 160 little note of acceptance and immediately destroyed it, It was school time and she must go. Notwithstanding the fact that her pupils were sadly neglected that day, it was a very weary teacher who bade them good-night. She went home and again wrote the acceptance to the doctor, placed it on the hall stand and asked Mr. Osborne to post it as he went down town. Then she went wearily up stairs and took from its hiding place the little package of letters which she must burn. Longingly she touched them for a moment, then glanced at the one on top. ' You are all my inspiration, dear, were the words she saw, and the memory of those days at college, that was enough. Anna sobbed and put the letters back. Anyway, I have taken the doctor,'l she said. Down stairs was a roll of compositions awaiting corrections. On the way for them she saw the letter still on the hall stand. Mr. Osborne had forgotten it. She snatched it and tore it in pieces. Then she went to her papers. How could she work? She must lie on the sofa and rest for one moment, for the excitement was gone and she was overcome with weariness. Little Bessie was fumbling at the door but Anna heard Mrs. Osborne say, Don't go in, sweet heart, Auntieys so tired. So tired, so tired. Again she heard David's voice say as after that sugar day long ago, U You're so tired, little girl. So tired, and she had not heard from David for eighteen long months and she could not burn the letters, or marry the doctor or Mr. Reynolds. Was that Davidls voice saying again, Little girl, rest. You are so tired to-night ? Anna had fallen asleep. E, H. RAX'NER-l'ThC Bard. W it V' t l-lil ,., ilitql g, 1 'wf '1'.,, 'lil 1 f' lt, ily Nfl 'f---f' - all 'W N- ,ps ' lstycigtt lw Ah, .N Q .

Called into being in '90 under the shelter of H1T3H1'S roof-tree, clothed with seemingly high authority, given a seat on one edge of the throne, and a scepter which then gave no sign of its hollow- ul I hli ness, it was my fortune for eight long years to roam the ways and by-ways 9 of Hiram Hill seeking whom I might terrify. Many a tender youth on mischief bent cowered at my glance and forsook his purpose. Many a loving pair whose ears could catch each other's faintest whisper but were callous to the oft-repeated warning of the evening study bell, hied themselves from me and sought safety behind the sheltering portals of the halls. In my Qsupposedj august presence many a culprit stood and plead for mercy and another chance. I seemed omnipresent, and whispers only meant for others came mysteriously to me. At first, in the joy of new-felt powers which then I thought were real, I drew the rein and held it firmly in my grasp. All went well. The powers that once had ruled alone felt the great relief my presence brought, since from their shoulders I had lifted many 'a large and growing burden. They found pleasure in the thought that I would serve them well and do their bidding. And, truly, for years I did my very best. At length, as more and more the burden of affairs fell on me, I wearied, and having learned the ways by others known and practiced, I strove to be where only proper things were done, and to see the evil and the mischief only by accident unavoidable. Then, too, I did for- get to do the bidding of those who called me forth, and having been besought by one high in authority to reverse an act, the propriety of which I had pondered well, I did refuse. There- upon I came to know the hollowness of the scepter I had held-the powers with which, in my simple-mindedness I thought I had been clothed I-Ienceforlh, my judgments were ignored- my counsels no more sought My usefulness was gone-my mission ended. Still I dragged on a hopeless, aimless life, until, on one dark and dismal night of '99, without warning, I felt the fatal stab that divorced this spirit from its mortal frame. Without 'a cry or groan the tragedy was enacted. No note was taken of my taking off. No obituary, mendacious or otherwise, rehearsed my merits or my demerits. No monument was erected to mark my resting-place or preserve to history the date of my matricidal end. It is well, for immortality is mine, and these words are written that ye may know that nightly 'neaththe classicshades X of Hiram's drooping elms I am flit- 1' . ting-keeping Wa'CCh - taking HOU-3.

I 64 HERE was once a Senate in Hiram College. lt had a 'K Constitu- tion, which is too long to copy here, entitled Constitution for the Co-operative Government of Hiram College. This was a printed document with a preamble : We the faculty and students of Hiram College, for the purpose of forming a co-operative government among ourselves, do ordain and establish this constitution. It sounds like 1789, doesn't it? After the preamble comes Article I, Legislative power, with nine sections, then Article H, one section g then Article HI, Ujudical power, with seven sec- tions , and three more articles with five sections, among them about seven hun- dred and fifty words. Q Article VI is the one of most interest to us now, it reads, This cozzsfziu- tion may be repealed by a unambnozes wie of flze faeulgff' Adopted October, 1893. But co-operative government did not begin in 1893. It began about 1888. This ,Q3 constitution was the revision of some older document. 'I The Hesperian Star for May 15, 1889, contains the following among its editorials : The latest movement in the direction of the very successful co-operative government of Hiram College is the formation of a senate consisting of fifteen stu- dents representing all classes, which, as a whole or by representatives. meets with the faculty and co-operates in case of discipline. The action throws the responsi- bility of self-government on the students themselves and tends to secure justice to all. It raises the moral character of students much higher and tends to decrease the number of cases coming up for discipline. It unites the faculty and students in one body, striving for the greatest good of the students and the school. It gives the students a more decided interest in the welfare of the institution, and it relieves the faculty of a great deal of worry and work incident to the conviction and punishment of offenders. All are pleased with the Hiram College government. 'I 165 The senate seems to have L' tended to decrease the number of cases coming up for disciplineff Not until a year later has the senate done anything worth going into print. But March 1, 1890, the Hesperian Star says : K' The college senate, was in session last week. Three young boys were impressed with the fact that the senate, which represents the students, does not approve of borrowing molasses from a sugar camp Sunday and forgetting to pay for it. 'We wonder how senators K' impressed offenders, way back there, ten years ago. Did the faculty contingent look impressive ? Did the student members frown like angry sons of Olympus? Were the cowering culprits whaled with instru- ments of chastisement? Were they fined five dollars and costs? Were they fired, on condition that they would stay in school and promise not to cut classes ?' 'Were they condemned to explain VVordsworth's sonnets against capital punishment? We would all of us have been delighted, no doubt, to have observed the workings of the senate in the days of its youth and confidence. Alas, the destroying hand of time and the impatient hand of man have now made this impossible I We shall see the senate no more. Some time within this last year the senate was seriously assassinated by the faculty, by unanimous vote, no doubt, in 'accordance with Article VI, quoted above. No public announcement was made of the death, no obituary was published, nobody wept, no funeral oration was given. And, like an obscure old man, who has descended from high favor to poverty and neglect, the late departed senate has not been missed. Perhaps the senate served well its purpose for a time. But social and political institutions are thrown aside as a free and progressive people outgrow them. Two very different forces, the endowment movement and the zeal for clean and successful athletics, have practically secured for Hiram in these later years all those far-reaching beneits that the promoters of the senate enumerated in the 4' Star T' for May 1 5, 1889, as to be derived from co-operative government. No man could have prophesied exactly as to whether the senate would find a permanent place for itself in our Hiram system. Matters pertaining to any body politic settle them- selves at last, and while the promoters and advocates of co-operative government did nothing more than their duty in putting the departed senate bravely forward in its lifetime, we can all unite in wishing peace to its remains now, for it rests forever in an unmarked grave, beneath the evergreens in the City of Dust and Ashes. There is scarcely a member of the Senior Class, the Senior 166 Literary Class, or the junior Class but has some time in his Hiram course been condemned to appear before the senate or else condemned to serve as a senator, the second being the greater evil. Any of us who have appeared before the sen- ate in its palmy days, or in the latter days of its degeneration, can testify that it was easy -to survive the strenuous amateur efforts upon the part of the court to look like minions in the throne room of justice, and speak like the judges of the supreme court of the U. S. and be good friends meanwhile. EX-senators remem- ber yet the classes cut, the weary, unrequited efforts at balanced thinking, the fear of being misunderstood by friends and faculty alike, the fear of being hauled up for one's own small amusements, and the constant appeal to a protesting sense of the ridiculous. There is much more that we all remember. So Hiram College, students or faculty, lawless or law-abiding, charitable or legalistic, can unite around the dead senate in one opinion which we never could do in its life- time. We can all concur at last when we repeat, Peace to its ashes. ALIE DEAN- 'f Vivi fied by the artistic sense.

Nor are the fair youths and maids of Hiram ' :.. f. ' - . . . . K exempt from belief in such. For when we had one of these far-seeing 5: men among us, he was kept busy night and day revealing to the anxious- inquirers their characteristics, which they already knew, secrets which they wanted no one to know, and ways in which they would be able to definitely change their fate. Most prominent and curious of all these were the girls of the Dodd Club, nor were their anxieties eased or desires appeased until the well-known oracle revealed to them the following: VESTA SCHUMACHER-A good conversationalist,-somewhat of a schemer,-her leading characteristic, faithfulness to one and only one,-enjoys a good time. GRACE BARNES-Likewise a schemer,-an ideal lover,-a model housewife,-a lover of home. ADA HATHAWAY-Of a sweet, happy disposition,-a good writer,-with musical ability,- should fit herself to be a Sunday school teacher. HORTENSE ROBISON-A lover of society rather than intellectual pursuits,-of a musical taste,-more fond of travel than home. RUTH WHEELER-ODS who does not reveal the depth of her character easily,-a ine intellect,-great power of endurance.

FLORENCE HATHAWAY-A very beautiful character,--of a loving disposition,-can act well a part,-will live easy. JANE WHEELER-A Well-rounded character,-a model' housewife,-enjoys a good time., LUCILE SCHUMACHER-A beautiful, sensitive disposition,-gifted writer,-can be happy only in an atmosphere of kindness. MISS IACKSON-Of a talkative disposition,-should fit herself for the lecture platform,- Winsome,-a keen perception. - The other two members, Miss Dillinger and Miss Boswell, utterly refused to have their heads read before the club. Whether this was caused by true timidity or fear of the utter- ances ofthe phrenologist, or whether their fates were so settled there could be no doubt in either mind as to the outcome, will be left to the judgment of the reader.

It may have been an equally serious matter, but it surely was a less complicated one. At the present time if a committee were deciding upon the site of an endowed College or university one very important consideration would be traveling facilities and means of transportation. Another matter worthy of serious thought would be the relation of the school to city affairs and city life. Many advantages in the way of lectures, libraries, and other means of instruction can be acquired by close connection with a city of considerable size. A few schools have been located in the Sunny South, where the climate is mild and salubrious, and where a student of feeble health would not be called upon to endure the rigor and severity of a northern climate. Furthermore, many a noble institution has grown up in the neigborhood of some generous benefactor or has been located according to the wishes of some wealthy person who has contributed a large sum of money to its endowment fund. As none of the considerations men- tioned above seem to have exerted a very potent induence in determining the location of the college on the hill, it may not be without interest to call to mind some of the reasons which caused the founders of Hiram to be favorably disposed to this portion of the Western Reserve. The Electric Institute was built by a popular movement and there were no donors to the funds in amounts large enough to entitle them to particular mention. The public spirit and generosity of the community had been proven by the liberal way in which its members had contributed to the erection and maintenance of a church which, at that time, was one of the strongest among the disciples in Northern Ohio. The founders of the Eclectic Institute were not disappointed when they expected the disciples of that earlier day to respond to the demands of higher education in a manner similar to that in which they had responded to the demands of a purer form of faith when a great reformation was beginning to make progress. It is a mat- ter of no slight regret that later generations have seemed to think that these responsibilities rest upon them with less weight. The morality of the people who lived in this vicinity fifty years ago was an important factor in locating the school at Hiram. There existed at that time a temperance sentiment so strong that it led its adherents almost to acts of persecution. A Mr. Meeker was then keeping store in the building occupied by the Misses Ballard as a residence. As most merchants of that day were in the habit of so doing, he kept, as one of his staple articles of merchandise, a 180 supply of whiskey. In an unmistakable way his neighbors let him know that they disapproved of this sort of trafic and hoped that he would cease to dispense the liquid that steals away men's brains, But Mr. Meeker was a man with a will of his own and proposed to manage his buying and selling as he pleased, and consequently paid no attention to the emphatic expostulations of the temperance people. At last a boycott was decided upon, and though this was the only store in the place many people began to obtain their supplies from other sources and the stu- dents were forbidden to buy books of a man who would deal in whiskey and set at deiance the sentiment of a locality favorable to prohibition. About this time Mr. Meeker was a corre- spondent for the New York Tribune, a paper then held in such high esteem in Ohio that Artemus Ward jocosely said that chapel services were opened at Oberlin College by prayer and the reading of The Tribune. The village correspondent through his articles won the SILVER CREEK friendship of Horace Greeley, and when the great journalist founded a temperance colony at Greeley, Col., the man who was placed at the head of affairs was the whiskey dealer of Hiram. Probably the best explanation of his passing from one extreme to another in this way is that Mr. Meeker's temperament was not suited to the Hiram environment. Thus a man who had literary ability, who gave to Garfield his first literary impulse, who was the friend of America's greatest newspaper man, was aggravated by his Hiram life to do his worst. Does such a thing ever happen to 'a student? ' Hiram's situation, a little to the east of the divide between the St. Lawrence River system and that of the Father of Waters commended itself. The water supply was also considered and a committee having that matter in charge counted eleven hundred good flowing springs and then gave up in despair as the count lacked considerable of completion. ISI Orchards were numerous in this vicinity fifty years ago and some that have recently fallen beneath the stroke of the ax were then in their prime and were producing good crops annually. One famous apple orchard bore fruit every year for sixty-tive consecutive years. The highly beneficial effects of eating fruit in abundance on those who are engaged in intellectual Work was fully recognized when Hiram was founded. The experience of students covering half a century only tends to show that there was much wisdom in locating a college in a fruit bearing region. Even when all the advantages named above had had due consideration, the matter was nol fully settled until the committee on site became somewhat acquainted with the village physi- cian, popularly called Dr. Trask. He was an able but eccentric man and in the fit of his clothes as well as his form he resembled the Well-known appearance of Uncle Sam. His horse had such a rate of speed that it covered a short distance in a long time. The style of his gig was out of date and the vehicle was badly worn and needed painting. He also had become en- tangled in debt and according to an old law was forbidden to practice medicine outside of Hiram Township. Surely healthfulness was very great in a locality where a doctor of medi- cine showed so many and such unmistakable signs of poverty. That was before the days of appendicitis, however, and Dr. Trask probably did the best he could under the circumstances. There could be no doubt about the desirability of this place for a seat of learning after such proofs of morality and healthfulness. The fitness of the name, Hiram, is worthy of a word. The township was named after Hiram of Tyre, the friend of King Solomon. This king of Tyre was a worker in brass, and every college does more or less work of this kind. It is to be hoped that Hiram's monument will be as lasting as the material cast into pillars by Solo1non's friend.

A good neighbor goes about his business posing as nothing but an ordinary citizen but with his eyes open for any kind of neighborly or neighborhood service. This is not done with con- descension as if, full of his own superiority, he were dealing out pity to helpless beggars. But, rather, a good neighbor feels that he is paying off a debt due on friendship's account. Patronizing ways make beggars, but the friendships of equality cultivate self-respect and ambition. We are often asked, A' How do you treat people down there? It takes some a long time to learn that a man is a man anywhere and that he can have feel- ings without being wealthy or book-wise. But it takes many homes or a home with many members and a large house to be friendly with a neighborhood of twenty-five thousand. If the home iswenlarged accordingly it is difficult to keep the intimate, private ways of a home, and easy to drift into the heartless, whole- sale ways of an institution. The autumn of '96 a band of Hiram students went to live at I4I Orange street. Some spent their whole time for the house, being supported by outside friends of the settlement idea. Others had their own business down town or at school and spared as much time as they could, paying their own expenses as they would elsewhere. ln the work some mistakes were made till the exact situation could be learned, for it is agreed among our residents that no one understands settle- ment work who has not worked at it, and also that the worker learns as much as he teaches. The main hindrance to the growth of the settlement was lack of nnancial support, for our rooms were always full of those eager to advance themselves. The kindergarten, day nursery and many clubs and classes crowded living rooms and all at No. 141 Orange street. The spring of '97 the settlement moved to 183 Orange street, where they rented front and rear houses, 135 ' having room enough for work so that living rooms were not used so much. The fall of '98 a store room on Woodland avenue was rented for kindergarten and gymnasium. During the winter of '98-,99 every inch of space was used, one evening, accommodating ninety and turning away nearly as many more. This required much non-resident work for those who could spare us an evening or two a week for i clubs or classes. At one time we had as many as fifty of the non-residents, yet we were always i short of help. Class and club work was done mostly evenings, for daytimes school takes the children and work those often scarcely old enough for it. Settlement work sounds romantic on paper, but it is not- play. Some think it hard to care for one babe, but how is it when one or two care for twenty, with poor sanitary arrangements. In place of pure air, a blanket of smoke, dust, Standard oil and acid smothers the neighborhood. At night it seems as though the crowds and street cars were going through our very rooms. All that, with the noise of crowded rooms, tried the nerves of some very severely. Add to this the financial trouble. Being a new idea in Cleveland the settlement had to prove its usefulness and live pretty nearly on air meanwhile. I speak of these diffi- culties, having been near enough to observe, but not having suffered the burden myself. As the work dropped off for the summer of ,QQ the warden and his helpmates felt as though they could i scarcely bear the strain of another winter under such conditions. It was a matter of physical necessity and not of com- plaint. Yet no one could bear to see the work go down. Witli this feeling, was taken up the burden of the building. Along with more roomy quarters comes larger responsibility in other ways. On 186 5 account of the debt and increased running expenses, to say nothing of the direct work itself, the end of hard work is not yet, though the question of permanency and usefulness has been settled. The building is 6ox1oo feet with three stories, another to be added when funds appear. There are thirty rooms. The gymnasium is 28X53 feet, supplied with most of the necessary apparatus, though with nothing fancy. A couple hundred young men and women have taken advantage of this regularly since February ist. Next the gymnasium is the public bath room with a tub and six shower baths. A bath costs five cents. The kindergarten is 30 feet square and can accomodate fifty comfortably. The day nursery has play room, bath, dining room, kitchen and cradle room. The public library furnishes a librarian and a stock of books and magazines for the reading room and library. Two thousand three hundred and seventy-four books went out in March. We are two blocks from the Mayflower school with its 1,850 children who patronize the library in swarms. There is a room for games, a physicianls oiiice, a large reception room, a club room 30 feet square. used also for a small audience room, a room for normal training and one for art and music. Then there are accomodations for a dozen residents, with private reception room, dining room, kitchen, etc. Beside the inside work of the house a large play ground is being fitted up with out-door games and gymnasium apparatus to keep several hundred young people busy at once. Then the house has kept over a hundred children at the fresh air camp at Chagrin Falls where we have free use of the fair grounds and buildings. These few words give only a hint of the work.

Will the time ever come when their glory shall depart? W'hen the brilliancy of their genius shall cease to scintillate through the avenues of time, and the remembrances of their Sugar-day fail to thrill Hiram Hill with little tinglings of delight? An M. C. M. class meetingannounced in chapel for six o'clock. That was inter- esting, for when those gallant Seniors closed their eyes to the witchery of the hour and fortified themselves against the North road by barring the door, something was sure to happen. May first-the Coronation day of the year. May day, and the birds were singing a glad jubilee, as the old hill stirred in its morning nap, and opened its eyes on a blossoming world- May day, and the morning air was filled with music, as happy maidens rose from their downy couches and mingled their voices with nature's choristers in the song of Coronation. May day, and the metallic throat of the old breakfast bell added another note to the sweet refrain, It had only caught a few of the words, but there was joy in its voice as it bravely rung out its Call me early, Call me early, Call me early. The M. C. M. Fairies had been abroad early, or perhaps they were Brownies, for upon second thought they were not altogether fairy-like. At least there isn't very much difference between Brownies and Boys, because you never know what either is going to do the next minute. Well, the Brownies had used the sidewalks for bulletin boards, and do you know, O class of M. C. M., there are few blemishes on your noble brow, but on this day of all days, in the early morning of the Coronation day, when the glories of a dazzling crown should have, drawn our eyes higher, you taught us to look down and not up. fi a K' Ho! forthe sugar camp, I'm to be Queen of the May, Sweet sugar, May day Coronationf' With all this and occasionally an original poem to help out or put to shame Tennyson's May Queen, did these messengers of light strew our pathway. It was a choice day. It always is when planned by the Seniors. They are always so effervesing. Old Sol must smile in spite of himself. The air seemed so full of gladness. As, sometimes standing before a beautiful picture, our souls have been thrilled by its power and our lives ennobled by its lesson, so standing on the threshold of this perfect day, our hearts swelled with its joyousness and our spirits caught its inspiration, while the birds in the tree tops, tuning their heart strings in harmony with the rippling, dancing day, sang of a world running over with joy. The gay streamers for the May Pole grew into conscious existence on the lawn of Bowler 188 Hall. It would never do to tell just how they were made or from what dark corners of society halls the bright colors came forth to help the merry Seniors trip the light fantastic. Such a happy, laughing band started for the sugar camp, led by the Seniors and Faculty members who were present. In the olden times there were gala days, processions 'and festivals and merry makings, but none was so beautiful as this in its grand simplicity. Through the woods, over the stiles and brooks and fences, carrying cushions and books and keeping time to the ringing music of the tin-pan band, these college students went, care- free and happy, in search of simple pleasure. The May Pole was set up and the throne erected. I THE MAY POLE Flung to the breezes the gaily colored streamers gleamed in the sunlight and caught up by laughing men and maidens were turned about the pole to the bright, sweet music of happy voices blending in the dear college songs. But the Queen, dear me g yes, there was a Queen. By a vote of all within sound of the president's voice, Miss Mary Lyons was chosen Queen of the May-robed and escorted to her throne by the two Senior girls, she took her seat with a dignity becoming the solemnity ofthe occasion, and in a speech dazzling in its brilliancy was presented to her loyal subjects. . The golden crown of dandelions was placed upon her brow, amid the cheers of the assem- bled multitude. As she rose to speak a hush fell upon the waiting throng, and out over the hills and vales floated her words of wit, wisdom and eloquence. As you have seen one, stepping from a throng of merry makers into the presence of beauty or holiness or sorrow, remove his hat and bow his head in sympathy, so for a moment the iiooding joy was checked, not hidden away as if reproved, but only held in reverent abcyance, 189 as the Queen recalled sweet memories and gave counsel and words of cheer and blessin g. The sugar was ready at last. The great kettle down by the stream had swung to and fro over the glowing coals and now gave forth its sweetness. How funny to see everyone with a littl t stirring again. The wild iiowers nodded their heads enticingly and nodded not in vain. Brownies love flowers and shady glens better than sugar and crowded camps. It was all beautiful, The dazzling pole, the merry dancers, the crowned Queen and the e in pan and spoon stirring and eating and then F1.. V BOILING SAP blossoming hills, but there was a beauty surpassing all these, a beauty that gives a lightening of the heart when we think of it. It is the beauty of fellowship. How hard these boys and girls have worked together is evidenced by how hard they la P Y together. Steady workin class rooms means merry play on the hills. We never know how h muc we love each other until we have struggled together. No hearts are so light in the sun- shine as those that have worked nobly through the shadow. The years these young men and women have spent in college have knitted firmly the bonds of friendship, working, talking, planning and praying together. When the play time co1 th ' ' ' ' ' nes ey can Join hands and sing for Joy, finding unclouded pleasure in this merry, happy circle about the May Pole. Then long live the class of M. C. M.

This term may be unintelligible to strangers, but it is well understood by all our home readers. it it Apropos of this subject, President Zollars made a few remarks in chapel, etc., etc. This article indicates that the dear word so precious to all of us was in common use as a slang expression in 1890, but not yet an authorized member of verbal society. It must have been young then, for it had not outgrown the swaddling clothes of quotation marks. Now, the editor who would put perch in quotation marks is no Hiramite. He might as well put liberty, joy, peace, affection, or any other beautiful accepted terms in those straightening punctuations. Perch was only half a word in those old days, though it must have lived long in Hiram even then. It was only half a word, for the first Hiram Annual, published the year of ,9O, does not use the word, and now the Hiram Annual is but the semi-oiiicial chronicle ofthe Perching of the year. In the Prologue to the Epilogue of the Hiram Mortar Board for that year the aston- ishing statement is made, A year or two can make no perceptible difference in the age of a college joke. Yet this cannot be true, if Perch is even a college joke. For in just one year afterwards, Perch has aged perceptibly. It is assuming its rightful dominion over the tongues and the intellects of Hiram. It is used without quotation marks on page 95, volume one of THE SPIDER VVEB. Besides this, 'there is actually on page 105, a Soliloquy by-Iudge Kearns, beginning To perch or not to perch-that is the question. In this production, the word perch occurs four times. Total-Perch appears five times by actual count in the Hrst SPIDER WEB. In Nine years later, THE SPIDER WEB of M. C. M. states that, there is one word character- istic of Hiram-how would people express themelves without it? Perch, with its many derivatives, occurs forty-two times in last year's Annual, again, by actual count. At that rate of multiplication, by the jubilee year of 1950, every line in the entire Hiram Annual will be occupied by this all-devouring, all-embracing word, and there will be room neither for pictures 192 nor for title page, nor for advertisements. Perch then will be as omnipresent and omnipotent as the trust problem. Oh, happy year for the Annual Board ! Oh, happy day-at the jubilee of 1950-for a younger generation! We will sigh because we are young no more, and are denied the joys of a more ripened civilization. Perch, then, and only then, will be full grown and have its proper estate and dominion. May we all live to behold it I . Perch, as a specialized word, probably blossomed out some bright spring day, with some rattling good story on two people to set it going. But that story has never been told, and Hiram stands breathless to hear the man speak who can tell it with authority and reliable witnesses. We have met many pretenders to authentic inception, each succeeded by an older story. We leave the discovery of the 'first perch, when it was called perch, and just why, to some future Hiram historian. But he must go back farther than 1888-as the following will demonstrate: . CLEVELAND, Ohio. My Dear Sir: A I am in receipt of your letter of the 22d inst, inquiring XVho invented the term perch ? and what is the story in connection therewith P I take it that in Hiram the verb perch still signifies to associate with the other sex and has in it the idea of avidity. I do not know of any story in connection with the first use of the word in this sense, nor do I know who first so used it. ' Some time in the spring of 1888, Mr. J. B. Works and myself read an Oracle at a Delphic entertainment. Among Mr. Works' contributions was a parody which he called The Beautiful Perch, and Which purported to be the lamentation of a theological student of that day whose frequent efforts to associate with the other sex had as frequently been repulsed. This instance shows that at that time the word was well known and probably in common use in the sense of our definition. If I am right in thinking that the instance cited was the first of the appearance of the localism in literature, then, in view of the well-known tendency to quickly take up, and continually use, new slang, it is proper to infer that the expression had then but lately come into vogue, else it would have been earlier put to literary use. ' One can only speculate how the word came to have its peculiar local meaning. It seems to have been derived in some way from the once current slang phrase, come off the perch, a phrase for which there probably has always been a slang equivalent. It is easy to conjecture that the phrase quoted was cast by mal-contents at youths complacent in having found favor with the ladies. From this it is easy to suppose that the complacent youths aforesaid were said to be on the perch. If one gets as far as this, the rest is simple enough. If this theory is correct, you no doubt err in thinking that the Bonnicastle fraternity gave the word its local significance, since, as I remember the facts, the gentlemen of that brotherhood would have stultiiied themselves in calling upon others to come off the perch?

Mrss ORAH HAIGHT. My Dawes! Orafz : Backward, turn backward, oh girl in thy flight, come back to Hiram, though, just for to-night. Life is not worth living without you, so take pity on a poor forlorn creature and comply with this request. Never before did I realize how my life was wrapped up in yours. I have heard people talk of the benelicial effects of sorrow and disappointment, but in my case I donlt know where the benefit comes in. The poet has sung : Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all, but,I can't see it. I am sure he never could have experienced anything like we have. Ah, no, ours was the genuine article and no mistake. ' The angels, not half so happy in heaven, Went envying you and meg For our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we- Of many far wiser than Well Still I take the wings of the morning and traverse from the hills and dales of Ohio to those of Michigan, and again in the spirit linger by thy side, but that is not like being there in the flesh. I watch thee from the open door, Thy spirit up to mine can reach 5 But in dear words of human speech We two communicate no more. For this alone on Fate I wreak The wrath that gathers in my heart, He put our lives so far apart We cannot hear each other speak. Now I have endured this awful calamity for nearly twenty-four hours, but I cannot stand it much longer. Truly, the floods of affliction have swept down over my spirit. You may say: How would it have been had we been together 197 longer? What then would have be en your condition? not bear much consolation to a despairing soul. But those Words do Love then had hope of rich er store. What end is here to my complaint? This haunting whisper makes me faintg More years had made me love thee more. It may be soon, it may be in the far distant future, but I feel that it is the will of Providence that we shall meet again. How can it be otherwise ? Yet love will dream and hope will trust That somewhere. somehow meet we mustfl No one else shall ever have any charms for me, and if the Fates decree that We two shall meet no more on this terrestrial sphere I shall go all through my earthly pilgrimage in that army that marches single file. Oh, dear, but c ome thou back to me, VVhatever change the years have Wrought I shall not find one lonely thought To cry against my love for thee. Hear ye the cry of a despairing soul and turn about in your course and set your face again toward Hiram. Yours with a broken heart, D OLIVER IMCCULLY.

After making repeated attempts to obtain recognition from the President, Mr. Dill exclaimed: President Zollars! I wish to make a very important announcement. Go ahead, thenj' replied the President, upon which Mr. Dill proceeded as follows: Fellow students, it is my great privilege to appear before you today in behalf of the Hiram College Fire Department. Up to the present time we have had no protection from fire until last night a number of us public-spirited men formed ourselves into a company which we intend shall be worthy of this great hamlet in this grand jubilee year. But no nre department can exist without apparatus, so I come to you today. We need, firstly, some new ladders. The old ones are broken or lost and we must have new ones. Secondly and lastly, we need hose. That which we have is old and worn and ragged and we know that you will want your fire company to have good hose. For the purpose of raising money to this very worthy and important end, I hold in my hand a subscription paper which I will circulate among the students.

O WHQEVER these presents may come--Greeting: This epistle is written unto you that ye may know and be persuaded that this writing is to me grievous and hard to be borne. Providence willed that I should be out of town last Saturday Clast Sabbath PD and the thorn in my flesh is the deplorable fact that I perused the wrong lesson this morning. The saving grace in the matter is that I very hastily scanned the lesson which I supposed was Saturday's and now with some trepidation I will proceed to record some of the few facts that I recall.

It was fi ? A ' being poled swiftly along by a young and sturdy pioneer. M ff' N A clearing at the ford and a new cabin attracted his attention. VZ' ii Running his boat up on the shore the young man made his way along to welcome the stranger and hear the news. The stranger appeared well favored and was well spoken. It was not long SILVER CREEK until an invitation had been extended, and accepted in a like hearty manner, to accompany the young pioneer up the river. As the journey progressed, the pioneer, growing confidential, said that his name was Morton, and that six years before he had come from Connecticut to the thriving little settlement at Mantua where he had swung out his shingle as a lawyer. Fortune favoring him, he had prospered well. By this time the moon had risen and was casting its pale and softening light on the placid beauty of the Cuyahoga. It was a time to invite the outpouring of a full heart. The stranger was both sympathetic and attentive. Under such 2I2 mellowing influences it is not much wonder that Morton was led to speak of that which was nearest and dearest to him, namely, sweet Deliverance Penrose. So the stranger was promised, when onced arrived at the parental home, a vision of loveliness in the person of Miss Deliverance. At such length did Mor- ton dwell on this young woman'-s virtues, beauty and many graces of mind and body, that the stranger was stimulated with a desire to see this young rose of the wilderness, but he spoke no word. Deliverance, Morton explained, was the youngest of fifteen children, all the daughters had married and settled farther down the river, the youngest alone was left at home with three of her elder brothers. The barking of a dog broke in on Mortonls speech, and soon the twinkling lights of a farm house winked out from the heavy foliage. A PICNIC IN 'rms woons During the stay of that evening and the next day, the stranger effaced hirn- self, as was proper, from the company of Morton and his girl. Sitting apart he engaged in conversation with the father and sons while Morton engaged Deliver- ance. All too soon the time for returning down the river came, the stranger then quietly announced his intention of staying a couple of weeks longer as he had found a little work to do. if PF Four weeks later Morton joyously approached the cabin of his friend the stranger. Leaving his boat he ran quickly up the bank and knocked gaily at the door. It was opened by-Deliverance. i 213 fif? 1 fe K Xxx J R fl! :I ,, ,M ,f if' 'ffeiiff' de w? ire?

It has taken the world a long time to learn that children are immature men and women 5 that, in the language of another, the perfection of childhood must precede that of manhood as the Bower precedes the fruit. Antiquity did not grasp the truth that childhood is the fundamental condition of discipleship, although this truth finds expression in Isaiah's prophecy: A little child shall lead themf' This is truly the age of the discovery of the child. Ever since the time of Rousseau, the true Columbus of the world of childhood, voyage after voyage has been made into its fairy realms. There are three lines along which child discovery is conducted with the greatest results: First, improvement in child literature 5 warfare upon hostile environment, and scientific study of the child mind. The wealth of child literature in which we now revel is a development of the last iifty years. The wretched make-shift called the New England Primer, the old-fashioned Catechism and the New Testament, were the equipment of a school boy fifty years ago almost everywhere in the country. Perhaps it is safe to say that a new era in child literature began when the Abbott brothers published their estimable stories for children, namely: The Rollo Books, the Franconia Stories, and the like. Then the Hood-gates were opened, and such a wealth of periodical and book literature has been put forth as to set at defiance all attempts to follow it. I have always thought that too little emphasis has been laid upon the work done for child life by John and Jacob Abbott, which was certainly in the nature of a reaction against the intense subjectivity of the Puritan mind. They are books that were always helpful. They took the child at once into the realm of objective things, and began to teach him to see what was constantly around and about him. There are two phases of the warfare upon the hostile environment of children, the one literary, and the other practical. Many of the bouks of the last three-quarters of a century, such as Dickens' David Copperfield, Little 218 Dorrit, Bleak House, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nicklebyf' l all plead eloquently for the destruction of abuses in child life, 7 X and many of these abuses have been radically reformed. Long arrays of reports, like those of The National Conference of ,ff Corrections and Charities, are full of papers whose headings 'i i f' W! I Ml fl fl ' Ps give some idea of the place of the child in the thought of this 5- , 5' ' century. Some of these headings are: The Abandonment of V 1 Chi1dren, The Child Problem in Cities, The Children of ' TH ' X Criminalsf' Child-Saving, and the like. Child-Saving, 'iff M says one author, is the problem of the age. Another says, 'X Q Save the Child should be the motto of modern philanthropy. I Y I X Still another, The Cry of the Children is Going up to Heaven. . Surely the child of the present day has reason to rejoice that the pen is wielded so powerfully in his behalf. The practical phase of this warfare is manifested in the investigation of tenementsg compulsory laws of education, holding parents responsible for the criminal doings of their children, and in moving poor children from alms houses and from association of adult criminals. The establishment of children's homes, and numerous kindred movements are recognizing that childhood possesses, potenti- ally, the future of society. The third, and in some respects the most important line of investigation, is the scientific study of the child mind. This has been successfully carried on both in Europe and in our own country, and has furnished the basis for great advance in modern psychology. Surely we may be glad that Victor Hugo's famous saying is likely soon to lose much of its meaning: He who beholds only the misery of man, has seen nothing 5 the misery of woman is what he must see 3 he who has seen only the misery of woman, has seen nothing, he must behold the misery of the child.

We will commence by telling you about a very little girl with rosy cheeks, who always had her lessons per-fect-ly. She was so good that one day the fairies brought her a pair of little white wings made of pigeon feathers. She Hew up in the clouds till she was way above Hiram. She got back one evening and played like a good little girl, and her friends and neighbors changed the name of the Dear Child to Evangeline. The moral of this story is-study your lessons, little folks. . We will continue this page by telling you about a little girl, beloved by all who knew her, named Adda Jobes. She was too young to perch, so while older boys and girls went walking, she studied her lessons well. And. so when the times came for chapel orations, she always did better than the rest. Now, we hope all good little boys and girls will find in her ex-am-ple an in-spir-a-tion. We hope, little folks, your good will will have such a command over you that you will always emulate Adda Iobes in this particular. Now, little folks, we will tell you another amusing and in-struct-ive story: Once upon a time, in the middle of a great cold Canadian forest, there lived a little teenty-weenty boy named Justus Williams Paul. He lived in a stone castle with a drawbridge and his parents. He used to go out in the woods every day to hunt polar bears and hippopotami. He would bring home these animals in his little red wagon. He would bury them in the back yard and have a funeral. A funny old Scotchman named Will McDougall always conducted the burial 220 services in a very 'solemn tone of voice. Things continued this way for some time. At last Justus Williams Paul's pa caught him trying to teach classical French to the French Canadian mosquitoes, who buzzed in a dialect. His pa, therefore, brought him to Hiram to rest. We will not tell about the restunow. The moral of this story is-don't go to Canada to live. Do not be restless, little folks-for we have another story to tell about a little girl Cwho lived once upon a timel named Florence. She was admired by all who ku iv her, and she was loved by everyone. That was because she was t'iN THE COOL si-mmf: or THE GLEN . such a good little girl, and studied her lessons, and her teachers always liked to have her in their classes. You have read, no doubt, of little girls in fairy stories who could overpower boys? Well, this little Florence was so good she over- powered a great big giant named Carp, and led him captive. And besides, she tamed a wild, bog-trotting Irishman, who was wild as the wild man of Borneo, but now he is sheepish as a lamb. The moral of this story is-be good. And that is all the stories we know, good-bye, little folks. Yours in haste, THE BUSINESS BOARD. 221 Dramatic Hrt in Iiirami 3 F 33 9 - do not judge a picture, it judges you. Mr. La Farye's N famous dictum is equally true when applied to literature and it should be a matter of conviction that I cannot condemn 't i Shakespeare, he would condemn me. u The literary societies at Hiram are every year confronted with the question what to present at their annual entertain- ments. There is a prejudice somewhat prevalent against attempting Shakespeare. To the Sophomore who has had to present each term a paper suggested by the study of some Shakespearean play, and who from his pinnacle of wisdom announces that the Elizabethan drama is out of date, one can only suggest that he ponder on the text above. A more reasonable objection is that Shakespeare is too heavy for amateurs. If some few of the audience expect professional work or perhaps involuntarily compare a student actor with Mansneld, Mojeska, Irving or Marlowe in the same character, the contrast is absurd. However, such impressions are largely count- eracted by the personal interest which the greater part of college audiences, even at commencement, has either in the society concerned or in the individual actors. Much might be said too of the undoubted excellence of some such presentations. But the real argument lies here. The thorough study of one such classic is of inestimable value to a student. It is hardly possible to enter more completely into the spirit of a play, than by trying to act one of its characters. It follows, therefore, that a society chooses wisely when the great labor incident to giving entertainments is spent profitably to its members. MARCIA HENRX'.

' writing a Socictv Production 363 Procrastination thc Chief of time OR more than a week this ponderous subject has burnt into my brain, and anxiety over it increased as time drewjnear- Qer, and I found myself no better prepared to write upon it. My dreams were haunted by heart-rending screams from the poor little minutes, mercilessly snatched away in their youth and helplessness by this arch-thief Procrastination, and my waking hours were one misery long-drawn out, fearing-I knew not what. The little imp peeped at me from behind every tree on the campus, and beckoned with enticing witchery toward North Hill, and it was only by - turning my gaze to the dear old college walls with stead- fast purpose, and remembering that the star which drew my wagon wouldn't wait for loiterers that I resisted him. I say him advisedly. Procrastina- tion is undoubtedly of masculine gender-not because he is so hard to resist, but because, well, because he's always hanging around, I suppose. In the first place, this subject is entirely out of my line, dealing neither with philosophical nor social nor psychological problems-neither can anything be found among the new library books bearing on the question of thieving. Let me assure you in the second place, that the subject does not in any way apply to me, as every one within sound of my voice will testify to the fact that I do things right on the dot. Did any one ever know of my failing to get a society program out on time, or to bring up my class rhetorical at exactly the hour scheduled, or to get my lessons just when I should. To prove this-here am I writing this paper at ro.3o Monday morning, just exactly six hours and a half before time for its delivery. Now, for a fact, it is not customary, to say the least, to write society produc- tions more than one hour and ive minutes before society is called. D And, therefore, as procrastination is a word unknown in my vocabulary and 234 alien to my thoughts, intents and purposes, it is with a feeling of great hesitation that I approach the discussion of this most worthy and time-honored saying- subject-Procrastination the thief of time. It is certainly criminal to steal or kill time, and it is preposterous to insinuate that anybody in Hiram would look with favor upon any one who makes a busi- ness of such things. Yet we' have all been the victims of procrastination, sitting in our classes, waiting and waiting for the old bell to ring, while the cold sweat stands on our brows and our hands grasp the seat or anything handy, and that old bell, which, judging from its age and service, should have known better, just keeps us in misery by its persistent procrastination. Then, there it is again in chapel. We are so anxious to get out to our work, to flock to the library and continueithe process of enlarging our mental calibre, and there we must sit, while the Faculty indulge in stage whispers, and keep us wasting precious moments. ' And now, I know not what else to say. The fair muse who so kindly befriended me in the preceding brilliant and weighty pages has Hown, and my fountain pen has dried up-here I sit-what? procrastinating-surely not, and yet, here I scribble and scribble, helping the thief of my dream carry off the helpless .little minutes from the golden hours, while Sophocles, on the table near, pleads pityingly for a share of my attention.

You know, the subject of that society production of mine is Explorations at the North Pole. Well, now, I don't know a blooming thing about the North Pole, but bless me, ifl couldn't write up a pretty good im- aginary trip after the siege we've had of it here all winter. You see, it's this way. W'e took the refrigerator car Cthat's this pres- ent room, you knowj, because,well, in cool English it was because of the cash, but we'll say it was to accustom ourselves to the extreme drop of temperature which undoubtedly we would have experienced had we taken a through Pullman. Then, as a further precaution against the weather, we put on our heaviest overcoats and, just to be in style, made use of the quilts for mufflers. Of course we can iust put the furniture of the car in parenthesis, needn't waste time or ink on such trivial matters. It isn't exactly what you'd call a parlor car, is it? Doggone you! wake up here and help a fellow out. You know my flowing fount of inspiration froze up last night when the soft and feathery snowflakes fell like down upon my couch fShakespearej and Wak- ened this slumbering genius to a shivering consciousness. NVell. as I was saying, we'll put the furniture in parenthesis, this way, Qbed, two slats brokenj, Qwashstand, board nailed to the wallj, Cchairs, two-legged, threevlegged, four legged any legged, don't matterj. Mirror, oh ! yes, joy, bliss and rapture, only one crack where jim's head hit it when we were boxing to keep warm. And the radiator, chief of blessings, just like an ice lemonade on the Fourth of July, or a cooling hand on a fevered brow. Drat me if it has near the temper Mrs. B. exhibits. If it has it always manages to keep cool when I'm around. 7 Well, we're not getting to the Pole very fast, not nearly with as much precipity as the old man got to the bean pole when he found me in the pantry yesterday. Look here, Jack, freeze me if I can stand this thing any longer. If either of us were being burnt with the consuming fires of love, sweet love, we might laugh at the fate that placed us in this desert spot, bidding us meekly wait and murmer not foriginalj, but there's Mary turns up her dainty nose at you, and sink me if one of the charming maids will ever look my way, so what's a fellow to do. Can't box, break the mirror, don't dare tramp, wear out the carpet g can't fight, shock the preacher, no smoking allowed, set the lace curtains GJ on fire, mustn't sit on the radiator, warm it up and spoil the paint. Oh, bother, Pm going to kick. 246 QKnock at doorj Mrs. B.- Young gentlemen, this noise is uneudurable, you are disturb- ing family worship. Pardon us, Mrs. B., we were just trying to turn off the heat and raise the window- Sighing, she left us with a shadow on her high white brow and a nameless something in her deep unfathomable eyes, quoted Joe as the door closed. But, gentle reader, we must hasten on Cas the dirne novelists sayj. Where were we? Hi, there, you sleeping beauty, you open-mouthed gatherer of wisdom in the land of poppies-you ungrateful wretch-remove your understanding from the bed-post, loose your- self from the arms of Morpheus g tear yourself away from those false and Hitting dreams of the witching Mary and help me finish this story. Look out, there's an iceberg as big as the planet Mars, bearing down upon our refrigerator car,-but holy smoke ! there'sa polar bear on it warming his hands over a blazing ire, so we'1l let it come. I reckon he'll share up. Even if he doesn't and proves to be an enemy I w0uldn't mind a slight bear hug just at this stage of the cold-storage process. Well, if you will sleep, let's put out the light and get under cover. I'm in that gentle, fanciful mood that might be lulled to sleep by soft zephyrs and fairy fingers and falling snow- flakes. Better turn on the heat and shut the window. Good-night. LE FEVRE- There be some little things upon this earth but they be exceeding wise. f fl ' g inf n Q 4 5' 4 .3 ffafi - . ff- ' if-V 'S .

Our college spirit is enlivened by contest and with our renewed interest in both local and intercollegiate events is our loyalty incrcsed. So on Monday, June 4, the regu- lar catalogued day for our held day, when a large crowd of students gathered on the athletic held to encourage and cheer for our contestants, we felt proud of our representation. Much attention was given to the track this year and as a result it was in excellent condition for the contests. The prizes were offered- by our merchants and others who took an active interest in the day. In the morn- ing at 9 o'clock, the tennis tournament began on Mr. Brown's court. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd and exceptional skill was displayed in both joy seeing a fully developed athletic spirit in the college and doubles and singles. 9 A. M. Tennis singles . . .

' CHARLIE RUSSELL- The pink of courtesy, 249 H 'HW IIOCGI SIIGIFSDGIS 333 Ky, N THE first place, if my camera takes snap-shots, I haven't ' X L yet learned to manipulate it in that way, so you had just as well prepare for time exposures and sit still during the spoiling of several plates. But the redeeming feature is that these snap-shots are to faq, X be local, for, you know, no matter how thoroughly we enjoy looking at beautiful scenery and famous people, we are sure to turn with delightful anxiety to the one poor common piece of cardboard, Whereon our own physiognomy is imprinted. We might find some beautiful scenery and famous people among these local snap-shots-such things have been done. Did you ever think what a variety of summer resorts may be found in and around this Queen City of the State? Do you long for a trip up the Hudson, where the scenery is said to be so magnificent and Rip Van Winkle's queer little menplayed nine-pins all night long and Ichabod Crane took his wild ride on the galloping Hessian? Take a ride on Punderson Pond some moonlight night and you will see the same sparkle and flash of water in the same silvery light of the same moon that kisses the crystal waves of the Hudson. You will see on either side long dark stretches of shadows with here and there a light along the shore. All this is commonplace in daytime, but what may it not be, befriended by the cloak of night- Colors seen by lantern light I Scarcely seem the same by day,'f and it takes only a slight imagination to turn the croak of a million frogs into the gambol of the fairy creatures of the Knickerbocker tales. pp Do you wish to visit Lincoln Park and the Zoological Gardens? Buy a round trip ticket to Dingle Dell, and there you will find quadrupeds and bipeds and even birds and fowls and fishes for your natural history study. If you would enjoy a sight of the Great Geyser, walk toward the setting sun and you will see a bubbling fountain springing up at least two feet in the air and falling gracefully back into the basin prepared for its reception, where the ducks swim and the children play, unmindful of their awful nearness to the untamed phenomenon of the 19th century. Sitting upon the marble steps leading up to the establishment known as Kent's, you may look across and see the building spoken of by Tiglath Pilezer when he said: t'Behold, I will build a monument to my memory and the fame of it shall be spread abroad and its glory shall not depart while the sun shinesff . 25- ,- 41 - 1 mek --ef? -i P I' L ' Ht-bt !.:.-v --L-x ' .

Visit the athletic tleld during a Freshman-Sophomore game 3 or, if it is oratorical prowess you seek, seat your- self in some obscure corner of the Auditorium while some budding Cicero is declaiming and you will feel the ancient capital quake under the thundering phillipics of this embryo statesman. Walking leisurely down South Campus street, with your soul attuned to sweetest melodies and soothing influences, you may look up at any window of the Williams house and see A poet hidden in the light of thought, singing hymns unbidden, Till the world is wrought to sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not. Turning the corner, you may suddenly come upon a fair youth and maiden sitting in the mellow moonlight gently sifting through the sheltering branches of the old apple tree, but do not disturb their reveries. In brotherly compassion retrace your steps and, considering lest at some time you also be led astray, pass by on the other side. Passing Holly Rood you will always see burning the lamp of wisdom, and glancing toward the North, you may see Some highborn maiden in a palace tower, Soothing her love-laden soul in secret hour. As the Parthenon crowns the Acropolis and sheds its glory over Greece, so that majestic college building, rising like Pelion on Ossa in its mighty grandeur, crowns the Hiram Acropolis, and from the recesses of its watch tower calls the aspiring youth to the halls of learning. Within its sacred precincts you may evermore abide, for in the cloistered stillness of its halls and class rooms, in the scholarly atmosphere of its choice library, you may End comfort and consolation. The Priestess of Delphi will solve your knotty problems g the dove of peace will touch your restless spirit with its white wing g the shining Hesper Star will illumine your pathway, and truth will take you gently by the hand and lead you up the stony path of knowledge.

I'd been turnin that churn fur bout an I hour when I saw my pardner comin toword me with a rather ami- , 3 Q J, P3 nated sort of mien. I knew by his very liniments that somethin wuz Worryin him. As he come up to me he said rather abruptly, ss l i Samanthy, do great and high-minded men ever climb up to thar M - ,,. ideals? Why, Josiah Allen'! sez I, What is ailin you? Are you clean crazy? No I ainit. I've just been readin a book on ideals and I've got one, and I'd like to reach it sometime but you allus poke fun at me when I have any lofty idel. just let me read to you a little. Now I must confess there is one thing extra good bout my Josiah, that is, no matter how tired and weary he may be, he will allus set patiently and read to me while I am churnin. Now there wan't many men do that for their wimmin folks. Well, he finished his readin then turned to me and said, Samanthy, do you want to know what my idel is? It's the loftiest one I've ever had. Yesg', sez I, rather meekly. Well, sez he, you remember the time we went to Hiram to visit that grand and renowned institution ? Ever since that time I've had a hankerin to go back there and give a chapel oration, Fur land sakes ! Josiah Allen, what are you thinkin about? Don't you know that nobody but smart people and seniors give them things? Don't you know that strangers can't go up onto that sacred rostum and speechify along with them seniors and juniors and soft-no-mores? 'tVhy, you have surely lost all your common sense. QI wonder if men ever have that anyway?j Well, I don't care what you say, Samanthy, I'm goin and I'm goin next week too, and you've got to go long, fur them Softs allus have some lady or gent there to inspire ,them and I've got to have you. I think I can tix our old road wagon up into an autumbiler and we can go right over there in a day: I'd like to have you cut my vest down kind of low like, so it will look sort of dressy, fur if I look well and speechify tolerable proper, no knowin but what I can get to talk at Jubilee time and Pres. McKinley'll be there, and if he takes a shine to what I say, mebby I can get into Congress. Do you see? Yes, I do see a big fool, Josiah Allenf' sez I, in my steruest accents, QI wuz sorry the minute I uttered that awful word, but I wuz so wrought up I couldn't help it.j Wednesday morning bright and early we started. Iosiah's autumbiler worked good nough for a while till we got stuck in the mud, then I wuz mighty glad we had the old horse hitched on behind, fur we never could of got out of that mudhole in the world if we hadn't had him. As it wuz Josiah's clothes wuz just covered With mud. We got along all right till We wuz most to Hiram when that autumbiler made a sort of 253 groanin noise and blowed up. I fell in the briers by the side of the road and Josiah, poor man wuz blowed into an apple tree under which two folks wuz sittin. I got up irst and looked round. I wuz the awfulest lookin thing you ever see. My best bonnet was all in shreds. I went up to a by-stander a standing by and sez I, How fur is it to Hiram ? He sez, Bout a quarter of a niileg look up there and you'l1 see the village. By this time Josiah had come down to the ground and lucky for onct he hadn'tbroken eny bones. We walked slowly up the hill. I sez, Josiah, that autumbiler wuz one of your fanciful idees and the thing blowed up and most killed us both, now you'd better let your other idees or ideals be and go straight back to Jonesvillef' No, sir-ee, Samanthy Allen, I'm going to give that oration on the 'Vifhyness of the What? I couldn't do nothin with hirn, and that P. M. in the afternoon, he went into chapel, up that long aisle on to the rostum. Most of the people was settin in the back part of the room in twos, but, land, my pardner didn't care fur he wuz used to callin the cows and shoutin at the hens when they wuz Wallowin on his onion bed, and so had a good strong voice. There wazen't no orations to corne on that day after all. They wuz postponed oh' till the next week, so Josiah Allen stood up there alone and made his speech. I wuz awful proud of him. He swung his arms and spoke most oncomnion well, but I heard a lady who set back of me say, Those gestures can't be analyzed. But I didn't care much fur I knew they wuz good and expressive. Well, Josiah reached his ideal, that is, he pretty near did. He didn't get a chance to stand up with them Softs, as he thought he would, and to tell the truth I don't believe anyone who has a real lofty ideal ever rises quite up to it. -B. K.

I live in Michigan when I am at home. I have been for a number of years a resident of the beautiful, delightful and progressive city of Kalamazoo. Since I left, the city has digressed. In this place I have enjoyed the soothing and refining influences of the insane asylum g this accounts for my sweet temper and scrappy nature. I am now open to engagements, both to young ladies and to churches. To the former my terms are unconditional surrenderg to the latter, at least, food, clothing, a place to sleep and a few cents with which to buy peanuts.

HIS small boy is not the Only graduate in Perchology the jubilee year will furnish. but l he is probably the mostibrilliant. He succeeded throughout his course in maintaining an L-J absolute allegiance to the rigid perching ideal and in setting a pace that less accom- plished irnitators have imperectly followed. Indeed, as has often been Said, he invariably had a charming perching Way about him The Advance and the Annual, for the last six years, have many times been carried completely away with the chance to josh the brave Standard bearers. When Lorena graduated in '98 and went on her own sweet way, She had a Way of 'finding her way back to Hiram frequently 5 and now since they have properly registered their perching credits in the book of fate, and gone the logical way of all normally culminated perches, we hope the example of their whole lines may be as uniformly uplifting and influential as their perching example has been.

N SELECTING a Dentifrice, avoid all prep- arations which are advertised for whitening the teeth, as to do that they must contain an acid, which will in time destroy the enamel. All that any good dentifrice can do is to keep the teeth clean. Liquid preparations are ineffectual, because in order to keep the teeth clean it is neces- sary to have the friction of a powder, The Amer- ican Dental Associatioi at its meeting in Boston, condemned the use of mouth washes in any form. The ideal dentifrice should be a powder which is entirely free from acid and sharp gritty substances. such as charcoal, cuttle bone. puuiicestone and silex, all of which are too harsh and cutting to the enamel to he in daily use. 'l he Prentice Tooth Powder is prepared from select material and the ingredients are harm- less, sixnpleand etfective. lt is endorsed by the highest dental authorities as the ideal dentifrice.

BROUGHT DOWN TO JANUARY 1, 1900. The Columbian Cyclopedia is the most com- plete and satisfactory work of reference ever published and grows in favor with subscribers the longer they own it. H. McDIARMfID.' Professor of N. T. Intro- duction and Christian Doctrine, Hiram Col- lege, says: One who possesses this work, together with its Annuals. and accompanying Atlas of large. maps, will find it to be an invaluable treasure-house of information. After using the work for several years, I commend it heartily to- young men. and especially to young ministers. who may be desirous of add- ing dp cyclopedia to their libraries. JA-S. H. FAIRCHILD. D. D.. LL. D., Ex- President of Oberlin College, Oberlin. O.. says: I have had the Columbian Oyclopedia in use the last four years, and have. found it abundantly satisfactory-almost indispensable. I know of no work of similar character which I cc-uld willingly accept in its place. Any one can appreciate the value of some of its chief characteristics, enumerated be- low, at a glance: . ' 1. '-THEI C-OLUMBIAN CYOLOPEDIA IS A DICTIONARY as well as a Cyclopedia, and is therefore theonly Cyelopedialthat really cov- ers the whole circle of knowledge-in accord- ance with the original naming of the word. The dictionary feature, to-o, is one of great yalue. as stated by the New York Tribune: As regards thoroughness of ctyniological research and breadth of modern inclusion, surpasses all its predecessors. His experience as assistant editor. respon- sible for the- etymology of 'The Standard Dir-- tionary, makes PROF. FRANCIS A. MARS-H. JR., of Fafayette College, a go-od judge in such matters, and he says: 'tits convenient size and its lexicograpliic-al features should make it just the thing for per- sons who cannot attord,.or do not care, to keep I i by them many books of reference, while in a library with many other cyclopedias it would probably be found more useful than more expensive works. 2. THE PRIONUX-CIATION of every word is given: no other Uyclopedia does this. If you have any other Cyclopedia you must guess at the pronunciation or consult a dictionary, Biopzraphical Cyc-lopedia Url' Gazeteer. REV. DR. JAN, A. GRIER: President United Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Allegheny City, Pa.. after using the 'work four years. says: Its lexical features add greatly to its value, and it ,is an authority on orthography and pro- nunciationf' ' 3. HAND-Y YOLITMES. The volumes 4-an be held as easily as a novel. about the size of one of Dickeus': other Oyclopedias weigh about 10 pounds per volume. vt. THE LARGEST AMERICAN CYCLO- PEDIA. The actual number of words con- tained is about 50 per cent greater than in any other American work. 5. THE LATEST INFORMATION. The Columbian will give you later information than any other Cyclopedia and more in regard tr:- -the events of the last-ten years than all the other Cyclopedias put together, DR. -J. NV. ZELLER. Superintendent of Schools. Findlay, O.. hits the nail squarely on the head when he says: I have purchased a set of the Columbian Clyelopediag in .my judgment the best and most valuable work published. No person should purchase a c-yelopedia which doves not publish an Annual. 6. SENT ON APPROYAL. These claims we make for the Columbian are pretty strong, but you don't need to take our word for itg if you don't like the book after 10 days' ex- amination send them back at our expense. ipgcial Bargains We have some Special Bargains just now in shop-worn-sets, good as new, that we are offering at greatly reduced prices.

Robinson was quite surprised a few days after she came to Hiram, three years ago, to receive the startling news that she was a cousin of the 44th power to Crusoe Robinson,who came near being drowned while the gentle zephyrs sang Pull for the Shore. A query at once arose in Miss Robinson's mind, now that she had drifted, not to a lonely island, but to a classic hill, Whether she too would have the same experience as her famous cousin. The first year frequently her dreams were Green Qjustinj but he, like the Cannibles of old, at a certain time in the year put out to sea QCincinnatij never to return.

But we don't want you to consider, as so many do, that any centre- draft lamp is a Rochester. The name is not that of a class but of a particular lamp. And every lamp that has not that name stamped on it is not a real Rochester or New Rochester. If the dealer sells or oiers it as Such he is trying to defraud you. Beware of him.

He has made for himself a great name, which without doubt will be handed down to future generations. During his sojourn at Hiram, in one respect especially, he has distinguished himself. But few have equalled him and none have surpassed him. He is a prodigy, a wonder, a marvel. He eats three meals per day, gets hungry between times, has a gait like a dromedary and sleeps Well at night. .fml55 Zlb5OPbCl1t .HDCIHOPQ HDCGOYUUCR, as her name indicates, is of the nature of a sponge She is noted chieiiy for the faculty with with which she imbibes Prof. Deane's ' outlines, and swallows Greek roots without stopping to wash off the ancient mold. Every thing is consumed that comes her way. Her usual dose is seven studies per term, with society work for recreation. We regret to hear that she has forsaken the righteous path in which she walked with 19ot and has entered the rocky road of 'oo. After her graduation she will return to the Hoosier state from whence she came and try to teach the youth of that state their A, B, C's. Q 3'l1lTlbO 'Elll1bl.1CtOO 16 1fCVl'C is a lineal descendent of his great grandfather. I-Ie hails from the cold and frozen north and isa cousin raised to the tenth power of Our Lady of the Snows. His five years, residence on the Hill has thawed him out a little so that now he is quite a warm member. He has achieved quite a reputation as a raiser of whis- kers, a fisherman and general sport. He likes the Spring Cerj best, for then he can roam in the woods and catch suckers in Silver Creek He will be a missionary some day but will make a poor pot for a decent sized cannibal. jf, JB. flDC5SlI1Q, although somewhat small in stature and delicate of stomach, makes up A for these insignificant defects in ways all his own. Some of his reputation rests upon the Way he managed the SPIDER WEB of M. C. M.g more upon his ordinary mode of procedure and most upon the fact that the two paramount thoughts in his mind are I am F. B.-she is Alice T. For further particulars, see Jokelets. 3'0llQfU8I' 3I'C6Tlb8ClZ 'IDCUYQ has had a remarkable career in his college life. Arriving upon this lovely hill some eight years ago, in perfect harmony with the verdant grass beneath his feet, he, by the use of his elder sisters, ponies and skates has finally come to glory in the Jubilee year. Mr. Henry has built his reputation upon his ability as a basket-ball player, an orator, his sweet tenderness as a percher and upon the quantity of the weed he can consume in eighteen hours. Watch out for him in the legal profession. SCHUTICSS Elllltb. The oldest inhabitant of Hiram cannot remember when it was that Chumny nrst brought his smiling physiognomy to adorn the old hill. His remarkably high forehead extending from the Superorbital arches to the Coronal suture is indicative of two things-firstly, a mighty intellectg secondly, that he has lost most of his hair. It must not be judged from this that he is a married man, for he is not. If he suc- ceeds in getting his sheepskin he will hang out his shingle in Newton Falls as a Grafter of Ideas. gllbllee jLCVlHtb3Tl Gafvlll. From the Jubilee endowment standpoint the history of ' the world contains three pillars--Zollars, Baloo and Garvin, and there is no fourth. The history of the world from a sociological standpoint is nothing more than a nation's strug- gle for social democracy. If you don't believe it, ask Jubilee Leviathan Garvin. This boy is a silver tongued orator of the Hoosier breed. He is short and ugly, with a form like a sack of meal, yet he is by far the most eminent of the class of M. C. M. He has by way of ornament emerald eyes and a ruby nose. His favorite color is Baloo. He is a singer of no mean repute. Sweet Marie seems to be the strain that is the most on his heart. We agree with the book of job in its general opinion of the Leviathan, His breath kindleth coals and a flame goeth out of his mouth. He is a warm Leviathan. WOO-DWOYU jf3UOYltC -lROtbCl1bClfQCY is one of those who assumes esse guam videri. This is a misnomer, for anyone who is acquainted with him knows this is not so. This beautiful curly-haired member of the senior class is noted for his love of poetry, espe- cially Lucille, which he studies and reads with much interest. Every word has a double meaning on which his soul feeds and waxes fat. Verily, he would say unto you, except a certain poem fall into my heart and remain, I shall die alone.

The only days the curl comes out ot his face are the days he tries to get the curl out of his hair. He is the king of the Williams house, the hardest student on South Campus street, and in athletics possesses a marked latent talent for the one hundred yard dash. He is the wisest man in the senior class. He is the only one. who can keep still gracefully. He does this in a pleas- ant, genial, sympathetic Way that wins universal regard.
