Farewell, lazy melancholy, Sloth and all such kindred folly ; Ambition’s torch is now enflamed, And Hobart out of stupor claimed. Work is now the crowning power ; “ Prex,” the lion of the hour. Advance is sure, do we but work For Hobart, and no duty shirk. Work is vain unless united, ’Tis no use to get excited- - And Prexy does but superintend Our tasks ; the rest let time portend.

Wilder, t assistants Wyatt Kingman, 2 X Jerome Kates Editorial The Board of Editors representing the class of 1905 of Hobart College respectfully submit this volume to the College and friends, but more particularly to the alumni. For we wish to point out the growing enthusiasm for our Alma Mater, our President and the Faculty. Many much-needed improvements have been clone during the year past, many more are to be undertaken in the near future, under the leadership of President Steward son. The air is laden with advance. Life courses more quickly through College veins. And like in Shak- spere’s time of old, we center round one leader—the President. We have wished to make this life felt in this volume, and have imbued it with every note of advance that has come to our hand. The measure of our suc- cess in this we must leave to our readers. But we should remind them, that, though indeed the enthusiasm be great, yet our not fully developed minds are often wanting in expression. In this regard we beg your indulgence. We wish to thank all those who have taken an interest in the production and distribution of this volume, more especially those who have materially aided in its compilation.

As oft before, A child 1 watched the gloried West And dreamed of cities vast and moving throngs. The western hills Are singed with red devouring flame; They seem afar, a distant world of lire. I see red blood. The horrid blaze of War and Death. The very battles of the immortal gods. 2.S The world outspreads, 1 see some vast metropolis A million roofs all bathed in glowing red, Like ocean surf I hear the busy roar of life And murmurs of a hundred million throats. ( h endless roofs. And towers that strive to pierce the skies. Oh uproar of a city vast. Oh tumult Of a continent. What greatness and what sadness lies ’Neath this grand panorama of the Occident ! The hills of Rome, And Father Sihor. Sphinx, and all The past imperial greatness of the world Before mine eyes Loom up and fade in deep'ning red, Consumed by Apollo’s blazing wheels. The purpled clouds. The glowing splendor, music of the spheres. Do chant the grand march of Eternity All hail to all The crimson glory of the West. Majestic empire of the setting Sun.

Bartley 3° History of the Class of 1907 We are a young class, this class of '07. This is our debut into this peren- nial reverberation of wit and eloquence, and in this, our first attempt, we wish to speak softly and without boasting of our deeds and misdeeds. We entered up a strong, vigorous class, rich in material both for the foot- ball coach and the practical joker. At an early date we fell victim to each, and since then, we have been endeavoring to fulfil our little part in those various in- terests which go to make up the life of Hobart College. From the first we have made our existence felt, especially by that class which had the honor of holding down our job for us last year. On more than one well-fought field we have demonstrated our spirit and grit. And although, as you doubtless know, if you have read the history of our opponents, we have met defeat; still, remember that we bore our part with honor and eclat, we have always gone into our scraps with the determination to do our best, and in this we have succeeded, so what does the position of a cane or of a rope signify? But every stain, if stain there wras, was wiped from our shield when at eight o’clock on December twelfth, the banner scrap was declared over, and the Sopho- more class was dragged ignominiously out of the mud of the Campus Martius. Then were our hearts filled with pardonable pride as we saw our cherished banner serenely gazing down upon us, its gallant defenders. But not only in these tete-a-tetes with our friends and predecessors, have we shown the stuff whereof we are made. H‘s in football speak out in silent eloquence, while seven of our men did heroic but unhonored service with the “ scrubs. As yet, it is too early to make predictions concerning the part we will play in the spring athletics, but we feel sure that when the second chapter of ’07’s his- tory is written, it will contain the record of even more heroic efforts than these.

We were strong then in numbers, and looked forward to a triumphant march through the four years within these historic environments in unbroken order, but strongly has the hand of fate played with us and snatched the men from our ranks unfeelingly. And yet, when the sons of ’06 had turned their steps back to Old Hobart in the autumn of 190,-?. and counted only half their members, what they had lost in individuals was regained in resolute determination of purpose. At that time along our horizon we discerned a little green speck, and as the speck drew near, behold we saw that over the green intrusion was a banner, bearing the mystic word ■' Fresh. From this new thing proceeded much babble and prattle which we could not understand, but we learned that the speck was made up of several smaller specks which, we were told, had come to trouble our peaceful lives. The green of summer was still on the trees and the grass, and against this background the forces under the new banner could move without being seen, thereby gaining some advantage. But later, when the trees were barren and the grass dead, there came a cane rush, a tug-of-war, and a football game, and lo. the green of ’07 was so glaring and so out of season, that it was wiped clean from the face of the earth. We care not to boast, lint in college athletics, in the musical clubs, in scholarship, and in short, in all college movements and institutions our names are found. And we are glad that our record is good, else our sorrow would be great when we read from Omar : “ The moving finger writes ; and. having writ. Moves on : nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.” 3S Members 1906 Herbert Alfred Bradford, Classical, Gasport. N.

Summers 3� Junior History s with but little more than half our original number that we of the Class of 1905 again review our past, and turn again to the short future that is left us, as a class. Already the time has come when we have ceased to number our days in the past, and say rather tnat there is but one year left for us. The three past years have seemed short.—far too short in the liv- ing. F.ach year, each month, each day sped by like the wind from the west over the campus. But when we sit down to think and dream of these days of the past, they seem like ages gone by, and we strive in vain to lay hold on the thoughts and feelings of our Sophomore and Freshman years. We can but recall the deeds we have done and glory in their present result. The feeling stirred by these past activities is mainly one of satisfaction ; we have done what we could ; we have played our part in the history of Hobart. Never was it said, even among nineteen-five's bitterest enemies, that she was found wanting in an emergency. With this let us leave the past and turn toward the future. When we realize that this contains but one short year, and is to till the last paragraph in our chap- ter : when we see how time dies on the wings of the winds ; when we think of the end of college days, the doubt and mist beyond, there already comes the sorrow of parting. Nevertheless, short as it will be, we are to enjoy one year more. We will enjoy it, crowding it even more full than we have the past. Our past record is good, but we must remember that there were others here then to help us. Now, we, the remaining half of the class, have double w'ork to do, if we would live up to our past. We will do this. We will do more than this. Our past is not to be equaled but excelled in the coming year that 1905 may hold a by no means unimportant place in the records of college life at Old Hobart. lemb ers 1905 Albert Broadhurst, 7 Geneva Hall Syracuse, N.

The summer groweth old. ( ut in the meadows the spider doth spin. The summer's knell is tolled, Ynd my heart is all sadness and longing within For the days that passed have rolled. TT is the eve of our love and the Night is near. Life’s evening bell hath rung ; Ah ! those crystals, those pearls ! Oh waste not a tear ! On me shed every one. We have wandered at eve through the lanes, my love, Have wandered hand in hand; We will wander no more in the eve. my love. No more in this dear land ; Never again will we meet on the bridge And watch the setting sun, And the forest shall whisper no more to us, I' will talk to only one ! We will never more list to the babbling brook I feel thine heart is tore By the moonlight we’ll wander no more down the road. We’ll wander there no more ! The last red rays have kissed the hills-— Let not thine heart be sore. Farewell, dear love. Oh dear, dear love, Farewell forevermore. 45 Senior Class—1904 First Tf.rm. R. C. Willard, J. J.

Gatlin 46 Senior History IS now more than three years since • Pop” James left “Weedy Meadow” to exchange the plowshare for the “ handy literal” and to help organize the band of youths, who came at the same time, into the illustrious class of 1904. Thrice since then has the yearly chronicle of ’04 been written. There is the tale of fierce but ever victorious battle-fields, many escapades, and much grinding in Freshman days : there are records of other and mote glorious vic- tories, of patriotic observances of ancient customs, and of fatherly care of our younger brothers of 05 in the Sophomore period of our existence ; and then comes the chapter that tells how we put away youthful things and assumed the dignity of Juniors, Now the his- torian takes up the pen to write the last chapter of ’04’s under- graduate life. Too swiftly the days have sped since we returned as Seniors and now the day is already nigh at hand when nineteen hundred and four shall disband and its sons go their several ways from old Hobart into the world. The past history of 1904 is found not only in the records of class historians but the most laudatory chapters are to be found in the annals of Scholarship, Athletics, and those other departments of college life which transcend mere class life. That ’04 has exerted a great: and useful influence on the affairs of our Alma Mater the historian need not say. for the fact is acknowledged by all. As for the future of ’04 it shall see no loss of glory gained in the past. The spirit with which we met and conquered our foes in underclass days is the spirit with which we go out into the world to battle with difficulties and assume respon- sibilities. And henceforth if you would read our history look not in Hobart Echos but scan the annals of the Church, the State. Literature and Science, for there will you surely find good accounts of the sons of ’04. ■17 I IlSTORIAN. Members 1904 Ec!ward T. Berry, K A, - - - - Kappa Alpha Lodge Irving, N.

Tk ou gkts of tke Wise Dear Echo: I am a modest man, and should not make myself so conspicuous as this if you had not urged me, and if I did not realize that great men owe it to the world not to be reticent. And 1 really nw great. Let me tell you all about my cloud penetrating genius. First. I am the author of an elaborate and literary treatise on the vortexatoin, published by Smithereens, Sausage and Company. I have also given many informal lectures on this great subject at meal time. My next most important labors are performed during those three most significant periods of the day. I am the best endowed with gastronomic faculties of all llobarl men. N an Hoesen, the procrastinator, plays a close second, but I can always slop him. I am a shark in Chemistry, Physics and Math., and hold Greek and Latin and such other greasy grind branches in contempt, as a broad man should do. Therefore, since I condemn them what legs have they to stand on ? I have also a chemically developed grouch on most of the time. You will see my name high on the scroll of fame as the author of Lee’s “ Xew Self-Pronouncing,” bound in calf with morrocco edges. 1 am compiling it now. It contains words not found in any other lexicon. Yours atomically, Glenn Max Lek. 55 Phi Beta ICappa XKTA OF NKW YORK. Professor F. P. Nash. - President L. ('. Stewardson. Professor M. 11.

For Watson grins at short stop And Rogers smiles at first Third base is held by Williams, We shout until we burst. And why are we victorious. Why grins our noble nine. Why bat they and why catch they With accuracy divine? Now sure the reason's easy Why we should be ahead, Why no balloons are present. By our captain are we led.

The Hobart College Club was founded at the beginning of the year 1901, with the object of promoting a more general feeling of good fellowship and increasing college spirit among the students. All students in college are eligible to membership and are admitted on the payment of an initiation fee. All busi- ness and social affairs of the club are in the hands of a Board of Governors which consists of one member chosen from each body in college. The club has a large, well equipped club room in Coxe Hall. Smokers are given during the year which are very well attended. X6 Chapel Ch oir A. F. Heussler, Leader QUARTETTE W. Gray E.

Winslow The Legend oh the Echo of the Seneca From Vol. II, Echo of the Seneca, Published June, 1859 In presenting another number of the Echo of the Seneca to our intelligent readers, it will not he amiss, perhaps, to relate the wild legend connected with its name. The “ Echo of the Seneca !” Who has not heard, in the still sum- mer eve, that deep booming sound which rises from Seneca’s bosom, and rushes along from rock to rock, from shore to shore, dying away at length in low and smothered tones, as of distant thunder ? the: legend ? Long ago, in those times of savage simplicity and freedom, when a vast and unbroken wilderness covered these now smiling and prosperous regions and the red men enjoyed undisputed sway, the Sachems of the Seneca nation held a council on the banks of their beautiful lake, and decreed a fishing-law. It was decreed,in the name of Manito. that trout fishing should be entirely refrained from during the spawning season. All shouted their approval of this just and humane law except one young warrior, who stepped forth and. in loud and insolent tones, declared that the law was unjust, and wholly at variance with their customs. “ The Great Spirit is not stingy ; see, said he, pointing to the lake, ' the Seneca is long and full of fish. Have not our fathers fished before us? I5ut. do the speckled trout dart less often at the bail? Aga-yeu-teh will not obey the law! The multitude were astonished at this bold speech. A slight murmur of applause could be heard as Aga-yeu-teh with a haughty and determined step, was about to leave the council, lint when the chief Sachem, an aged and venerable man arose, universal silence prevailed. “ Stay, Aga yeti teh,” said he. raising aloft his mighty hand, and pointing to the heavens; “ Stay and hear the words of Manito. Go and fish, but think not that the Great Spirit will overlook disobedience to his law.’’ The young chieftain, thus solemnly warned, stood irresolute for some mo- ments. An inward straggle was going on between his pride and a reverential f 1 14 regard for the words of the old Sachem. At last, however, gazing at the crowd for a moment, with a look, half pitying, half contemptuous, he turned, and, as if urged on by some evil spirit, bent his course directly toward the lake. Meanwhile, the whole tribe arose and followed their chieftain in solemn silence to the lake also. Aga-yeu-teh had paddled out his canoe a short distance from the shore, and was now standing up, proud and erect, watching his countrymen as they slowly assembled on the high and beautifully shaped bank on the right. The scene was picturesque. The sun was just sinking behind the western woods and its lingering rays cast a strange unearthly luster over the awe-struck groups which now clus- tered closely around the sacred person of the Sachem. Not a ripple disturbed the motionless and glassy bosom of the Seneca. Harsh sounds and sights, with melting day. Had from the lovely scene been driven ; Nature seemed kneeling down to pray, In praise and gratitude to heaven. Aga-yeu-teh dropped his line. As it touched the water's edge a fearful crash was heard, and the rushing of a mighty blast : then all was silent as before. All eyes were fixed upon the spot where the rash young brave had disappeared forever. Soon, however, a black- ened and misshapen mass arose to the surface ; prolonged peals of thunder resounded far away in the distance, and immediately the mass commenced to move in the direction whence the peals proceeded. “ Behold an example of the just vengeance of Heaven, said the Sachem, pointing to the object before him. '‘The voice of the Great Spirit is calling Aga- yeu-teh away. Doomed forever to float on the bosom of the Seneca ; thus, when the voice of Manito is heard, must he always obey. j Collegiate Letters [The Echo Board has surreptitiously seized upon this series of letters. We print them to show fond parents what letters like the earlier ones tend to produce as a result. Ed.] FRESHMAN’S LETTER Dear Dad: Next in the group of buildings stands the new dormitory. Medbery Hall. It costs twice as much to live in it as in Geneva Hall: all the “ swells ” live there —Bobby Summers and immaculate Compton. 1 learned “ immaculate” the other day. It comes from “ im” meaning not, “ mac,” Prof. McDaniels, “ ula, little, therefore it means “ not-little-mac,” . c., he hasn’t passed his Greek. (This derivation I got from J. II. McD. himself, so it’s true !) Well, anyway it’s justas safe socially to live in Medbery as on South Main street. It has a fine situation presenting a broad front to all the winds ; they can’t go by without hitting it They say it's heated by steam, but Murray—he’s a third floor front—says he'll give a nickel to anybody that finds any steam in his radiator. The President thinks an awful lot of Murray—he has to, Murray won't let him think of anything else. I couldn’t find any steam in the rooms one day when I visited the Hall, but gee what a lot of wood I found ! They do say that Prof. Vail bought a fine lot of apple wood and just insisted on the fellows taking it, to keep themselves from freezing. He says he remembers when they didn’t have these modern conven- iences but just plain ordinary B. Franklin stoves and, he said, they used to be as hot as II—1. My! Wasn't that awful of him to talk like that and right before me, a student? (I am a student even if I am only a Freshman, Taylor says so.) Taylor’s queer but he got me through chemistry. I got him to use his influence with John Whitney, who used his with Gatlin, who used his with Twieg, who used his with Berry, who finally got Moody to pass me. So I got through, yet Moody said 1 just squeezed through; 1 don't see how I could have “ just- squeezed through” when there were so many a-pushing of me. Well, “this is a digression,” as Prof. McDaniels says after he’s remembered we ain't translated but 169 lines out of the 37 1 he gave us. So back to the calves, as the French say. One day it was awful hot in Medbery, but it was aw- 116 ful hot outdoors too. That clay Heussler’s room took fire from spontaneous combustion of accumulated dust, anyway that’s what Moody said about it. lleussler was mad as fun when the Ogoyagos put the fire out and he cussed something terrible. He said it was mean of them to put this fire out which was the first time Medbery had been warm in years, when they let so many others burn out and just because they were sore at him for being leader of the Glee club. He couldn’t help that -somebody must do the dirty work about college. Oh I Heussler's a great man ! He does more things around college ! Besides being Glee Club Leader, he's Editor of the Jfera d. It is called the Herald because it prophesies what is going to happen last month ; yes. it always is a month late and heralds February’s events in March or June. Anyway Heussler's consistent and always is in for the end of things. He has a motto in his room—“ Better be late and have twelve half-cuts than six whole. The President wants him to help the fellows sing the closing Amen in chapel. He’s very nice about it and gets around nearly every other week. Your loving son, Cuius Canhy, Jr. SOPHS LETTER near Pop : It certainly is tine being a Sophomore. A fellow feels so much more ai ease with a Prof. I was scared to death of Prof. Nash last year and now I am quite familiar and jovial with him. As for Jimmie Leighton and me—-why we’re old chums. lie does preach rum sermons, but he’s a cracker at lacrosse, belter even than me. Then I always speak in college meeting. The Freshmen think it awful smart and Bob Summers tried to imitate me one day. Everybody yelled at him to sit down ; he ought to have known they wouldn’t listen to him after I'd spoken. I was in chemistry but Moody and me didn’t get on. I think he’s antiquated in his methods, all the time ‘•cooperating'’ when everyone knows that trusts are the only thing. Well, I must close as Muiry has just dismissed class and Willard, whom 1 go to next, won’t let us write home during recitation. Your son, 7 J. Kramit. JUNIOR’S LETTER My dear Father : ()ne of the greatest advantages of being a Junior is that one so often dines out. I am not a great wit, as you know, for mother has often told me that 1 am “ Father’s own child,” but still I am much sought after. In fact I have to borrow an evening suit, as mine is worn out. I find it a great aid to conver- sation to read all the old Echoes and the current numbers of Life. Every- one smiles when I crack a brand new joke from Life, For, as Life is in the library, everyone can read it: so when I begin they know what 1 am talking about. Once, when I was at Prof. Vail's, I told a story of how the. fellows all threw chalk and erasers at a dead mouse suspended behind the Professor’s head and then marching up to him said, ‘‘See Professor we have saved your life.” No one laughed and I was for a minute confused but turned it off by saying ‘‘wasn’t he taken in I was never asked to call again, and L found out later from an alumnus that “ Charlie” was the man. Hut still that was only a small break, and as I am, as you know, descended from Adam and live by direct line, I can still hope to maintain my proper place in Geneva society. Lovingly your son, Reginald Eden. SENIOR S LETTER Respected I'a rent : You will doubtless grieve over the contents of this letter. Try and comfort mother. I know I have disgraced you all. Know then, fond parent, that I shall not be able to greet you as Bachelor of Arts, next June. I cannot attain to the degree. Be gentle, father, and hear my excuses. My first three years I took Snap courses, Histories, French, Elocution and Astronomy. Now in my Senior year 1 have had to take Greek. Latin, Chemistry I and II. Calculus, Physics and English IE I flunked all ! Oh ! that I had but heeded you when you used to send back my meagre report showing a P in French and a C in Elo- cution. You had written on the margin in just anger, “ What, no Latin !” 11 No Greek my son!” “ Where is the science ?” But give me one more trial, Dad. Let me go to Cornell; and on the Elective system I can get an A.B. in a term and a Ph.D. before the year is out. Your regretful son, 118 J. Bustout. The Establishment of a Royal Order V | 'I was rather remarkable that Tally and 1 should have arrived at Hobart- after the summer vacation -within to minutes of each other, for he came from far oil South Carolina and I from Wisconsin. But there we were, bag and baggage, back at old No. 23 Trinity Hall, ready for the Senior year and duly impressed with our importance. The first thing to do of course, after a hearty greeting, was to light our pipes, knock the dust from the two most comfortable chairs, perch our feet ott the table and relate our summer experiences. We were thus mutually enjoying ourselves, when a unique figure appeared in the open doorway, vested in silk hat, top coat and sporting a cane. “ Hello, fellows,” it said, in a tenor key. “ Do you belong to the Senior class?” “ Well, 1 rather guess we do,” said Tally, looking him over carefully. “ What are you doing around here?’' ‘‘Oh, I’m a Senior too,” he said, enter- ing the room and leaning up familiarly against the table. “ Haven’t met any one yet, but the Faculty, and am glad to be through with them.” I ventured that his acquaintance with those learned gentlemen could hardly be laid aside so easily if he intended to remain at Hobart. Whereupon he laughed with unbe- coming hilarity and in the process succeeded in dropping his silk hat. “ Look here,” said Tally, “ I advise you to discard your tile and top coat if you don’t wish them disfigured, at least till you get the privilege of wearing them. We’re rather particular about some things here.” “Why I’m a Senior, ” our guest replied with some warmth, smoothing his hat with his coat sleeve, “and 1 under- stand Seniors have that privilege.” “ Not so fast,” said Tally deliberately, blowing a ring toward the ceiling. “ The Faculty may have accepted you, but the Class haven’t yet. Take my advice and put these things out of sight where they'll be safe.” “ Is that straight goods ? Does the Class have to accept every new fellow?” said our friend. “Well, that’s one on me. Glad you told me. Now there's something else I wish you’d give me a tip on for 1 suppose you’re both fraternity men. What one of the crowds here would you advise me to join? I don’t want to make any mistake, you know.” I caught Tally’s eye (a wicked one, by the way) and. feeling sure he was ready for the game, replied with mock 1 20 gravity : “ That’s a matter, Mr. W.,you cannot be too careful about. The frats that already exist here are somewhat ‘ on the bum !’ But if you’re the man we take you to be, we’ll let you into a little secret that is only known to a few. We have just started a new fraternity which’ —“ What's the name of it?” inter- rupted W. excitedly. “ The Royal Order of Billy Goats,” put in Tally, coming to my rescue. 11 The Royal Order of Billy Goals ! ” exclaimed W. beginning to laugh, ” You fellows are joking.” “ No,” said t taking up the cue, “ thename is a strange one. I know, but that's because it was founded in Germany. They have queer names there for the best things. One of our new Professors has just come from I.eipsic and it is through him that a chapter of that Society has been established here.” 4 lie is what they call the • High-Muck-a-.Muck ’ of the Order over there,” suggested Tally. ‘‘ and a fine fellow he is too. If we can get you in we’ll be glad to do it.” Glad to do it ! chuckled Tally, after W. had gone to unpack his trunk, “ I guess we will I” ‘ ‘ Well, what do you think of that specimen anyway? Me never balked at the name, even, and seemed anxious enough to become a ‘ Billy Goat,’ when he learned what an ancient and honorable Order it was I” ” What sport we’ll have at the initiation.” laughed Tally, rising to his feet and reaching for his hat. I must put some of the boys into this game, in a quiet way, to help it along.” And with that he dashed off to Perkins’ room. Before the evening of the following day, eight “ kindred spirits ” had been quietly informed of the projected initiation and pledged to Billy Goal ” princi- ples. It was thought best by all to wait until about midnight before beginning operations so as to avoid disturbing the members of the Faculty, most of whom we felt were overworked as it was ; and yet all of whom we knew w'ould insist on being present, if informed of an • extra session”—some men are so con- scientious. To our surprise our friend W. vvas ready and waiting for us at the appointed hour. He seemed duly impressed with the honor about to be conferred upon him, and had no hesitancy in saying so. He wanted to be a ” Billy Goat ” in the worst way ; and we all began to believe, as we wended our w'ay silently under the trees to the old gymnasium, that wfe were giving up needful rest to promote the well-being of our fellow man. When safely within the gym.. Perkins lighted the lantern he carried and placed it on the table, around which had been arranged a dozen chairs. Weird shadows from the dickering light were thrown along the doors and walls as we took our seats in solemn conclave. The imple- ments of torture were on either hand. No time was lost. There was work to be done, and it w'as done quickly. By one o’clock W. was taking the 33d degree 2 and everything was at a white heat. The victim with teeth set and never a whimper, was fast winning our admiration. Suddenly the casement window behind us creaked on its hinges and one of our number, acting as guard, shouted hoarsely, “ Durf., boys, run ' ” Well, I have always admired obedience wherever found, and I have seen some good examples of it in the Military Academy, but never have 1 witnessed an order executed with such promptness. Table, chairs and lantern were kicked over in the stampede. Prof. Durfee's dark lantern was the only thing visible, but no one waited for its kindly ray. It was one of those occasions when every man felt homesick, and suddenly remembered that it was bed-time. Yet the bed seemed a dangerous place. I believe 1 stood breathless for a full hour, in hor- rible suspense Hat against the wall behind my portieres, listening to the stealthy- footsteps of someone who was evidently looking for me,—but it turned out to be Tally. Of course the “ goats ” were all late in rising next morning and as we hurried down the stairs, buttoning our clothes as we went, we fell in with W. at the front door endeavoring to adjust his necktie. To our surprise we found the ground covered with a light fall of snow. Six abreast we slipped down the street to breakfast, talking merrily of last night’s orgies. We had not gone a block when we perceived just ahead of us the new Professor, the “ Iligh-Muck-a- Muck of the Royal Order of Billy Goals” (as Tally had told W.) bound, like ourselves, for the breakfast-board. “ Have you seen the Professor yet, W. ?” said Perkins, calling his attention to the figure ahead of us. “No.” ” Well, now is your time. You know he wasn’t able to be with us last night and probably doesn't know you have been initiated.” “ Yes,” several of us chimed in, as W. seemed reluctant. “ Run ahead and give him the grip ; he’ll be mightily pleased and it will probably give you a good standing in his classes.” •• First slap him on the back,” said Stevens, “ in a familiar way, and ”—- “ blat like a goat,” I ventured, “and then.” put in Tally, “give him three pump-handles and say: • Hello old fellow, I’m a Billy Goat; joined the order last night.’ ” “ Now look here, fellows, that's going a little too far,” broke in W. “ He doesn’t know me. and ”— “ And you don’t him, or you wouldn’t hesitate,” we assured him. “ He’s a jolly good fellow, unmarried and lonely and looks to his brothers in the Royal Order to cheer him up.” “ But would you do it now?” began W. “ Yes, by all means,” we said, “ we’ll wait for you. Run ahead.” Oil he started, then turned and hesitated. We motioned him on, and then held our breath as we saw him approach, on the noiseless snow, the Professor. True to his instructions, we saw him slap the Professor heartily on the back, and heard : •• Hello, old fellow! I'm a Hilly Goat.-’ Hut he got no further. In indignant surprise the Professor turned on him and demanded an explanation of such conduct. The rest we lost, for we found V. pointing at us in his explanation, and of course we were busy talking of other things. The Professor turned down the next corner and VV. came back to us with the remark ■ He don’t believe I’m a Billy Goat.” “ No wonder.” said I, “for you forgot to blat at him. ” “Billy.” What we Freshmen seek is not a thing of nought, Nor a bauble which can be out of hand obtained. Hong and earnestly must it be sought, And, at last, when tired we almost fall, tis gained. To be Sophomores ! Oh, thou acme of delight!

So the passengers were not in cheerful mood. One of the most impatient was John Shierlaw, a Junior in Hobart, returning from an enforced business visit to Detroit of a month’s duration. An aunt of his, to whom he was devoted, had very recent- ly lost her husband, and she had telegraphed Shierlaw to come to her and help her. He had left college immediately and had hurried West. On his arrival he found his aunt prostrated, and her two little children bewildered and frightened by the strange and solemn happenings in their home. Shierlaw took charge of the household and patiently endeavored to comfort the bereaved woman, and instill confidence in the children. His efforts had their reward, for his aunt speedily gained control of her sorrow, and. in a few days after her loss, could take her place again in the little world about her, and was, to all appearances, the brave and loving mistress of her home. Business details were then to be attended to—the more important were quickly settled, the less important of course required much time and trouble. For several weeks Shierlaw was busy with lawyers, business men. insurance agents and ten- ants, insisting that every transaction should be complete, anti that the widow's income for life should be secured. Then he left her and started on his return to college. And now he had reached Geneva on train No. 2. The cool clear night was wonderfully refreshing. He stood on the platform while the train made ready to leave, and inhaled a few deep breaths of invigorating air. The two or three travelers who disembarked hurried off to their homes ; and, except for the bag- gageman, the place was deserted The cars had ceased running hours before, and no buses or cabs were in sight, the p'ospect of patronage from such a late train not being enough to keep them out. Shierlaw swore a little under his breath when he thought of the distance between him and his bed, but. knowing that the walk would do him good, he resigned himself to his fate and started out. I25 The bracing air, the familiar streets, and the thought of the convivial bunch of fellows who would welcome him, infused a new spirit in his blood, and he strode along whistling. 11 is reflections led him to speculate on college affairs, and to wonder if anything of importance had happened since he left. He had been very busy in Detroit and bad thought of almost every tomorrow as being the day on which he could return, so that he had not troubled to write even his most intimate friends ; and they, not knowing where to address their letters, had been forced to leave him in ignorance of college affairs. The streets were lonely and unsociable—Geneva was asleep. Shierlaw’s footsteps sounded noisily on the hard walks, and seemed to emphasize the quiet of the night. Here and there a window in an upper story gleamed dull red. Somebody was ill, perhaps. No other sign of life was evident. Shierlaw fumbled at the lock on the frat. house door a moment before he could get his key in. • 1 suppose some confounded Freshman from the dorm, is in my bed tonight.” he muttered as he entered the hall. “ It would be rather mean to turn him out, so I suppose it's up to me to hunt an accommodating partner.” The street light shone through the colored window above the landing and showed him where to find the stairway, so he did not trouble to strike a light. He climbed the steps quietly, felt bis way down the hall, entered his room and walked cautiously across the floor to the gas jet near the window. The sound of a movement in his bed. confirmed his previous suspicion. • Damn it. just as I thought,” he growled, lie found a match in his pocket, and reached up to turn on the gas. The jet flared up with a sudden bursting sound. A gasp from the direction of the bed startled him a little, lie turned and stared in amazement. A mass of light brown hair, crowning a shapely white forehead, and a pair of large wide-open eyes containing an expression of terror, were visible above the bed clothes. The two hands were hidden and seemed to be clutching the covers and holding them over the greater part of the face. “ ()h 1 ” she gasped, “ V ho—who are you ? There was silence for a moment. He was too dumbfounded to answer, and she too frightened to say more. Nothing was heard but the ticking of the little china clock on the mantel. Then in hardly more than a whisper he heard the words : ” Please go away! Please go!” And the terror in her eyes made him feel like a brute. Then he found his wits, and spoke rapidly in a low voice, “ I beg your pardon. I've made some terrible mistake. I’ve been away. I've not heard ibis was my room. he floundered on. He checked himself, then said : “Don't be frightened. I'll leave you immediately. 126 Already the eyes had gained more confidence. lie looked away and over at the other bed. Somebody was there, too. for he could see a little of her temple and a lot of heavy black hair. When his gaze returned to the eyes, the terror was gone and they were watching him with just the slightest curiosity. He bowed and started out quietly. i- Thank you, she said. lie groped his way downstairs, feeling strangely embarrassed, took his hat from the stair-post where he had perched it, and left the house. Wonder was still on him and he looked back as he walked off. In one of the rooms a light was burning, lie paused and stared at the window, meditating. “Forgot to put out the light, didn't you. John? The windows were open, it was pretty cold in the room, and—well, he could have turned off the gas before he left and it would have saved her quite a little trouble, •• There probably would be trouble, though, if I were to go back, he said to himself slowly, and turned away. He went direct to Medbery and climbed up to Vincent's room. This Fresh- man brother had a large double bed, and the thought of it went well with Shierlaw. This time, as he entered the room, he struck a match and assured himself that all was well before proceeding. Vincent: was fast asleep, the sole occupant of the bed. Shierlaw lighted a lamp and shook the sleeper. That worthy, very much surprised and delighted, jumped up and started in to welcome him effusively and launch innumerable questions but Shierlaw cut him short with “ What’s doing down at the house ? •• House party. Did you get mixed? Like a flash John understood. The Junior Week House l’arty! He had forgotten all about it. Then he managed to slammer — ' • No. T didn’t. I saw lights—and heard voices—and came on here. Go down tomorrow. Vincent rambled on about the girls, and the glorious time everybody was having, while Shierlaw thought of seeing Her the next day. Finally he found time to interrupt, “ We’d better turn in, Carl. I want to get down early and see the people. They awoke in time for breakfast, and hurried down to the house. Shier- law 's heart gave a jump when he found himself inside the door, but when he had looked around and assured himself that she was not in sight he breathed easier and was able to receive the shouts which greeted him with apparent composure. When breakfast was announced, lie rose to his feet slowly and waited until the others were in the dining room before he started. Then, amid the noises of conversation and the moving of chairs he heard a light footstep in the hall. lie turned just as she entered the room. A little above medium height, slender and graceful, her head crowned with hair that caught the light and reflected it as does 27 burnished silver, soft, gray eyes, fresh, clear skin, and a perfect outline- Shier- law noted all this in his glance. She hesitated just an instant as she saw him. and a faint glow rose on her cheeks and she seemed a little confused, then she came forward and held out her hand. 1 have heard of you, Mr. Shierlaw.” she said, in a low. sweet voice, • and 1 am glad that you could return before the week was out. This must be a surprise to you, is it not? Shierlaw could have sworn that the demure look was only a temporary acqui- sition. Me assured her that it was more of a surprise than i: appeared to most people —at which remark she did not even flicker an eyelid, then he added, “ I suppose that since you know who I am. it will not be presuming if 1 make inquiry as to your identity, and as 1 shall have to ask someone,—why not you?—First hand information, you know, is------. Really, no, you’re not presuming. I don't think you could- or intrude. I am Helen Warded. from Utica. “ And are you a member of this remarkable class of 1905. Mr. Shierlaw? —she asked him after breakfast. “ 1 am, if they didn’t drop me while 1 was away. What do you think of us?” Well, you have succeeded in providing a very pleasant week for your guests, and in order to do that you must have something in your heads besides 1 ,atin. ’' ‘‘That recommendation is better than nothing. 1 suppose you are going driving this morning with the others?” Ves, indeed. She half tinned and gazed out the window. If yon care to come I’ll tell you how 1 like Hobart.” So there was a morning delightfully spent by John Shierlaw. He saw her several times for a few moments during the remainder of the day, and by the evening felt as if he had known her a long time. They went to the Sophomore Hop together and Shierlaw was sure that he had never enjoyed himself so much in all his previous existence. He learned from Bradley, a senior, that Porter had invited her as well as Mabel Felton, with whom he was devoutly in love, so John Shierlaw. bachelor, looked forward to many pleasant hours in the company of this fair haired maiden of the gray eyes who was creat- ing havoc with the working of his heart,—as he was well aware. The rest of the week passed as in a dream. Two days after he had met her he was madly in love, lie had found a girl whom he thought could be a 12 S splendid chum, and, driving, rowing, walking, or dancing, she revealed a firm, sympathetic, yet independent mind, a comprehensive understanding, and a clear good nature—an ideal companion. She seemed to find pleasure in his constant attention, and when, among the others, hei smile singled him out, or she asked him to corroborate some statement she had made, his heart would give a leap, and a dizzy thrill would sweep over him. Truly’, he was in love. Thursday evening, at dinner, all still laughing and jesting with imdiminished flow of humor, the awful happened. Mildred Roberts, who, by the way, was rooming with Miss Warded, electrified them all by blurting out: “Did you know that Mr. Shierlaw broke into his old room the night he came, and Helen had to frighten him out?” A glance at the guilty pair was all that was neces- sary to prove it. Miss Warded, covered with blushes, rose hastily and left the room, while Shierlaw bravely trying to stern the tide of laughter and joking was forced to flee in confusion. lie did not see her again until they started for the Opera House. He met her in the had and was in time to assist her with her wraps. As he placed her cape over her shoulders and turned to adjust it in front, there was a lingering tenderness in his touch that must have made itself felt, for she looked up at him for a moment and in her large eyes there was a grave, almost pathetic expression, as if she realized his love and was afraid. Not a word was spoken by either, however, until they reached the tpera House. before he left her that night he asked her to drive with him the next after noon, and she accepted. They had driven quite a distance before either found it necessary to say anything. For some reason they felt that conversation would mar the perfect rest and quiet. I'he afternoon was pleasantly warm, the grass was beginning to freshen, and all around were the unmistakable signs of Spring. At last a remark by Shierlaw on the beauty of the day started them talking in a desultory manner which, in a short time, changed to interest. They were speaking of the town and the college. She said. “ I was never in Geneva before, and in these few days I have learned to like it very much. It is quiet, and there is an English air about it. you know.” “ Yes,” he answered. “ 1 have noticed that. It is a splendid location for a college. I am very sorry that you have to leave it tomorrow we could have splendid times here.” I 2i) “( . 1 know that. Perhaps, though, it you were to come to Utica, we cot id enjoy ourselves there,” and she looked up at him with a smile in her eyes. “ 1 really think we could get pleasure anywhere,” John replied. “ There would always be at least walking or driving, or something like that. But—1 should like to call on you after college is out in the spring, if 1 may—that is, if I don’t get tired before then.” There was something more than fun in his last words, and she looked at him a little frightened. “ Why—you don’t mean there is any danger of that, do you? What have you done? Tell me all about it, please.” ” It’s not much, only I'm way over-cut in chapel and classes, and there's a rule making a man liable to dismissal if he over-cuts chapel. It’s almost impos- sible to make them up, and I don’t see what on earth I’m to do.” •• O, but isn't there some way you can make them up: You mustn’t get dismissed. 1 would -why, think how your father would feel it. And I do wish you would try to think of some way.” “ If I could keep your interest by doing anything, you don't know how I would try. Your opinion has grown to mean a great deal to me. Miss —.” •' Yes. I know you like me a little,” she interrupted, “ but if you liked me enough you would try to please me. Now tell me if you can make them up.” 11 Well, if I were to go to chapel every morning and Sunday evening from now till June 1 could bring up enough to get within the margin. But- what’s the use ?” She was silent a moment. Then she said and she looked away while speaking : “ Mr. Shierlaw, we have been together a good deal since we met, and we have learned to know each other fairly well. We are splendid companions, and—1 like you very much.” She paused. ” I think you like me. Will you do something for me—for my sake? And she held out her hand. John reached out, grasped it, and held it. It is unnecessary for me to tell you that 1 like you, Miss Warded. Our companionship—our friendship—has grown to mean much more to me. It means now that I love you—that ail 1 care for is to have you for a chum, a companion always. You have grown dear to me, and I love you.” l ie hesitated an instant. “ O. I suppose I should not have talked like this, but 1 could not let you go without telling you. I trust you will forgive me for speaking in such a manner.” She gently drew away her hand before she looked up, and, when she did. her eyes were soft and very beautiful. Then she said softly. You should not have said it—yet I should be angry—and I think I am not. We have only known each 3° oilier a few days. Wait until -O, I mustn't let you ever speak to me again like that.” And she broke off in confusion. Then before he could reply, she went on rapidly : “ If you will go to chapel every morning and Sunday evening until June, I should like you to come and tell me. and assure me that you have not been dismissed. I’lease do—for my sake. She looked him bravely in the eyes. “ 1 shall—for your sake, and John bent his head slightly. A delicious thrill was on him ; he was very happy. They drove back slowly and in silence. Only when they slopped at the house and he had climbed into the runabout again, she paused before going in, and said softly, “ John ! ” lie looked at her in surprise, but she met his gaze steadily—You will do it? He could only gasp li Helen! but she had run into the house. 0 at t The Junior From, was a night of perfect joy. for two people at least. He was with her a great deal and there was a gentleness in his bearing towards her. and a happiness in his eye. that made her very proud. There was always a slight happy smile for him when his eyes had found hers. Then at daybreak, when he took her to the door of the house, he bent over her and said softly. “ Helen- 1 am very happy. She answered simply, “ And I too, John. The afternoon of June 9, this message was delivered to Miss Wardell at Utica : Will call on you the evening of the eleventh, John Shierlaw. And on the 14th Bradley, at Geneva, received the following telegram from Shierlaw at Utica : Congratulate me. Her name is Helen Wardell. John. The Appreciation of the “ Shook liy the aid of a twinkle from the eye of the great jack-lantern in the parlor the giver of all light at this Hallow'een gathering -Stoner and Gray had, to all appearances, “ drawn ” two very pretty sisters to go home with. Then, while the girls went for their wraps, they had said their hasty good-byes lo the hostess. Now they stood together in the dark hall—Waiting, watching. People crowded up and down the stairs and out through the door to the veranda, jostling them all about in the darkness. Still they kept their position at the foot of the stairs watching with eagle eyes. At last Stoner spoke : “ Does anyone know whether Miss Thompson has gone home yet or not?'’ •• I think she’s upstairs yet,” someone answered. And so the two continued to wait and watch. Gradually the crowd in the hall grew less and less—as did also the confidence of our two heroes of Hull insky—until the street door closed, leaving the two watchers alone with the hostess in the hall. The pumpkin pul out its candle for the night with a faint smudge—and still the Misses Thompson had not appeared. The hostess ascended the stairs to inves- tigate and found that the birds had flown. Stoner and Gray went slowly out to the street. Then Gray passed his hand over his brow and said mournfully, I guess we’re shook.” While they walked back to college, they took turns at swearing ; the air was blue—and so were they. ” () blanket}' blank !” said Stoner. “ we ought to be kicked for standing there in that hall and letting them go home without us and thus their talk ran. Suddenly Gray had a happy thought; •• I think it’s about up to us to apologize to those girls and explain how it happened,” said he. lit Gray’s room the two sat long, pouring over a sheet of writing paper. Gray producing eloquent efforts in the style of the best writer in college, while Stoner, still feeling the effects of the •• shake,” tried in vain to mitigate the violence of George's explanations. When, at last, the portentous note was finished, they went down together to the post box to mail it, thinking, meanwhile, that ii would bring such great pleasure to the hearts of the two girls—as without doubt ii did.

Boy s Department LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG READERS My hear Echo :—I have been busily engaged in philosophical research since 1 entered up last fall. Nevertheless, I feel as though I ought to drop you a line. My courses in philosophy are conducted in the evenings. You smoke my tobacco and say nothing and I will see to it that the emanation of philosophy, on my part, shall continue. My very able assistant in this department is Asaph. Of late I have been reading Darwin. At first it was difficult to differentiate between Darwinism and Dowieism they are so homogeneous. 1 will soon commence a series of lectures on “ Why All Right handed People are not Left-handed.'- This will shortly be followed by my treatise entitled. •• The Influence of the Onion Sandwich upon Civilization.” 1 wish that there were more history courses offered here. 1 am going to take only fourteen different ones and that is not half enough. My work in writing history text-books has so far been successful. The presses are now turning out my work : 11 Fan-tan as played by the Chinese. 4,500 15.C.” It contains also a brief account of Confucius, the originator of this fascinating game which is the forerunner of “ Flinch.” I have not quite decided yet but I think I want my degree accompanied by Summa cum laude ” and the long Hobart yell. Then I will hie me to Buffalo and there browse upon the precious teachings handed down to me by Plato. Socrates, and Aristotle. Yours philosophically , Noel Paul Bartley. My dear Echo : 1 wish to inform you that I am the most virtuous man in college at present. It shocks me greatly to hear some of the fellows talk, they are so essentially vulgar. There is one man that has no right to a place in Hobart College, and that '37 man is R. T. MacCutcheon. Why, do you know that I went into his room the other day, and there on the wall, exposed to the gaze of everybody were some horrid pictures of statuary. They were so vulgar and shocking that 1 nearly fainted. I immediately withdrew from Ihe room. When I found Mr. MacCutch- eon, I gave him one of the worst lectures he ever had, but his moral nature was so depraved that he laughed at me. Now my dear Echo. I think the col- lege men ought to reform, and if something is not done shortly I intend to under- take the job of reformation, myself. Vours for virtue, K. Mackie Hogarth. A young f renchman once said “Oui, Oui, Ich bin going over the sea.” When he sailed on 11 la mer, He met his “ cher frhre,” Who sent him “ zu Hans ’' C. O. I .

Alas ! these small mechanics His will refuse to do, And when he promises a gray You get a striking blue ; Conies out quite unexpected Sometimes a dusky green. He looks confused and humbled ; A philosopher sad is seen.

'47 The Metamorphosis of Compton R. KETTLE, who was that fellow with the banner that stood just below us at the football game this afternoon ?” •• )h ! was that the Mr. Compton that I've heard so much about? They say he's great fun.” “Yes,” admitted Jimmy Kettle, “he is, but isn't he a fright, for looks?” “ It’s no such thing,” responded the girl indignantly, “ I think he's cute. Can’t you bring him around with you to call some evening?” At this time, the beginning of Willie Compton’s Sophomore year, those green traces left upon him by twenty years of Lockport country air had almost disappeared. lie looked as trim and complacent as you please, and those roguish brown eyes of his made his appearance unde- niably “cute.” Nor was Jimmy unaware of this attractiveness in his friend and, being very anxious to retain his ••swipe” with Miss Hrown, he postponed as long as possible the day when she and Compton should meet. Hut at last a date was fixed for a certain Tuesday evening at eight o’clock. At exactly quarter before eight Jimmy, the soul of punctuality, was ready to start. Koran hour then, however, he was compelled to wait for his protege, alternately swearing at his dilatoriness and assisting him. Finally Compton's face and neck were shaved, his patent leather shoes blacked, his trousers pressed, and innumerable Hobart yells given up his sleeve, and then they started. This breach in punctuality of over an hour was a bitter pill for Jimmy but -tS did not trouble “ Comp.” in the least—nor apparently, Miss Brown. Compton seemed to star throughout the call, exercising to its full extent his show of wis- dom and his propensity for saying the right thing at the right time, while Jimmy drew back further and further into his shell, They went home as they had come, “Jimmy” •• grouchy,” and “ Compy ” complacent. Comp, jumped all around the “ slickest room in college.” giving the long Hobart yell up the sleeve of his “ nightie,” while Jimmy angrily smashed his new Derby hat on the gas jet and rolled into bed. Nevertheless, as time went on, Jimmy Kettle’s “swipe remained “ all to the good ” and Willie “ lost.” He puzzled long over the reason for his “ turn,” at last seeking the counsel of his mirror. His long and earnest gaze brought a sort of mist over the glass, and then a long crack extented through its center. As he still gazed, his familiar, the arch-fiend, appeared, extending in his hands an extra pair of horns with these words : “ To you as the only one among men who is made in my likeness do I offer these, that in all points you may be like unto me.” But Willie would not. Another summer of social triumph at Lockporl partially restored his com- placency and Comp, “ wise guy that ” hew'as, drew a lesson from the experience— that with a man as handsome as Jimmy Kettle in society, a man made in the devil’s likeness, as he was, could never • draw.'‘ So then, all through his Junior year he kept up a sorting of the sheep and goals and finally, in this process of selection, George Gray seemed the homeliest man available to prove that our ladies' man was not the worst fright in existence. Just at the opportune time, when this selection had been made, both Compton and Gray were invited to a party where they would meet a girl who professed to “ love that cute Mr. Comp- ton.” Miss Blank w'as there, sure enough. Compy “butted in ” and “shot the con ” and seemed to be “ right there with the goods.” But when the part}’ broke up and he sought out the girl to ask if lie might walk home with her he found—found that she was gone already—and Gray with her. There were no short Hobart yells up Willie’s sleeve that night. He dragged himself wearily back to college loo dazed even to wonder why. Later, however, he got down his mirror and again gazed into it long and earnestly. Again the crack appeared ; again were the horns offered him ; and again he would not, but '49 went to bed muttering. 11 A sign. I am a worse fright titan Gray. Prom that time on he again set himself to watch and wait for a homelier man than any yet admitted to his order of the Kappa lota Sigma Sigma. And now. too, his task was the more hopeless in that Gray had been tried and found to be “ loo much of a good thing.' ’ And at last patience brought its reward in the shape of Jason Stoner. Stoner, in the thousand years just past of his mummified existence, had been the Hindu god of consolation ; and a god of consolation he was stili, since no one could consider himself homely after looking upon this prodigy. As Compy saw him strolling into the secretary’s office, he excitedly sprang up in the air crying : “ Ve gods! look at that! Somebody pull rny linger, quick ! Hip-Ho-bart 1 11 ip-1 Io-barl! During the time in which Compton had waited for the appearance of such a thing as Stoner he had secured many embryonic 1 ‘ swipes ’ ’ for the cultivation and trial of which no time could be too soon, he thought. Accordingly he rushed his discovery around all day lest the thing should at any moment slip through his fingers. That very night George Gray look ihe two with him to call on three young ladies, one of whom was “so anxious to meet Mr. Compton.” As the three strange birds of a feather wended their way north along Main street they were stopped but once- then by a tall Senior who only said, “ Well, by gad ! and passed on. i n their arrival at the Smith's each of the three was immediately fast- ened upon by one of the three pretty girls receiving. Each enjoyed a pleasant tete-a-tete with his fair entertainer, but to a mouse in the corner Willie Comp, would have seemed the star, f or George was making one of his evening-long charac- teristic explanations, which involved him deeper and deeper in difficulties, while Jason could only repeat the golden fleece act on the sofa. Again, at half past ten, the three figures wended their way along Main street, this time towards college. All were in a good humor and Will e’s coatsleeve over- liowed with Hobart yells until he learned that his fair entertainer was the engaged sister and the girl supposed to be in love with him, was the one who had so quickly “ fastened onto ” Stoner. Then Compy communed with himself : • I know I'm a fright it’s hard luck, but no power on the face of the looking glass above or the glass itself '5° beneath or of the case under the glass can make me believe that 1 am homelier than Stoner.” He picked up the mirror disdainfully ; then when the same old phenomenon of the crack and the devil appeared, he madly Hung it through the window out on the campus. “ To think,” he moaned, “ that for the three best years of my college life 1 have been basing my actions on this false theory that my homeliness queered me with the girls.” His head fell upon his arms out- stretched over his study table and finally a deep sleep came upon him—and with sleep a vision. The vision- -this time not of his old familiar, but of his only good deity, Minerva, goddess of wisdom—spoke softly, ■■ Men have naught but knowledge, women have intuition” and vanished. Then Willie awoke : so they knew that 1 was engaged all this time—that explains it.” Social triumphs then became no longer Compy’s ambition. Instead came the sudden resolve to gradu- ate with his class. In feverish haste his old Greek lexicon came from a dusty heap as Willie Compton turned into a grind and began to work off conditions.

George gives a sigh of relief—There, after three hours and forty-eight minutes I have completely mastered every detail of that Greek root so that to- morrow I can give my class a full commentary on it. Never before since 1 have been teaching here, have I so completely lost myself in my work. Mow fast time dies ; it seems but a short time even, since I left dear old Hobart. And yet it will be four years next June. Guess I'll go back and see the old place next com- mencement time. 1 wonder if 13 Geneva Hall remains just as 1 left it.

Hut say, now those three letters that 1 received the other day show me conclusively that I could shine in One-train-a day Society if I only would. Guess I ’ll read them over.” Just here George pauses to roll a cigarette, spilling half of the tobacco upon the. table just as in the old college days when he used to sample “ Sunny Jim Mead's corncake. Then he picks out three from a pile of tinted envelopes, opens one, and reads : “ My dear Mr. Gray : During your four years stay in )ne-train-a-day. from honoring and respect- ing you 1 have come to love you. You show such loyalty to your work that I rarely see you in society except on Sundays, when I hear your beautiful, clear, tenor rising far above the other voices of the choir. My love has ever grown and increased while I have waited patiently for 1908, the dear old leap-year, to 154 declare it to you. This may seem to you too sudden but it is not sudden with me and I feel confident that I could cheer your scholarly life. Yours in ardent love, Paula Brown. And she’s the wealthiest girl in town. If she only had a more pleasing appearance. But then, in choosing a wife, there are other things beside beauty to look for. Well, here’s number two : Dear Mr. Gray:— I am coming straight to the point. Since meeting you, your loyally, your beauty, and your sunny disposition have won my heart. I think that a wife of yours would live in a happiness second only to paradise. And so as it is leap- year, 1 ask you to make me that happy woman. Beseeching you to look favorably upon my suit, I am, Yours lovingly, Tessa Tracey. And that from a society belle : charming, petite, and amorous. But I don't like her bluntness in coming to the point. She should have been more reserved. But now for the third and last: My dear Mr. Gray :— Since 1 first met you, 1 have esteemed you highly, Your character is such that I believe any girl might well be proud of your love. I am taking advantage of this leap-year to ask permission to walk with you to your lodgings occasionally at the close of your work. 1 hope that, on further acquaintance, we may both, perhaps, be inspired with deep love. Meanwhile I remain, Your affectionate friend, Millie Ball, “She’s not so wealthy nor so much a society belle but I think she’s the sweet- est girl I ever saw—so modest, too, in her way of approaching the subject. But what am 1 to do? O Zeus, I call upon thee for a plan to work with 1” And he buries his face in his hands. Suddenly he cries—“ Mehercule ! 1 have it. I’ll write to each asking them to bring to me next Monday night some little token of regard. Then she whose gift is most acceptable shall be my wife. Quickly three notes are made ready for the morning post and George prepares for bed. '55 r Monday evening both nervousness and pleasant anticipation are evident on George’s manly brow. He has even gone back into his college apparel enough to don his white vest. Paula Brown arrives lirsl with her servant who carries a heavy bundle. After a few casual remarks she says : ■ Mr. Gray,I have brought you as my gift a complete set of the Delphine Classics.” Oh ! my dear, dear classics,” cries George in ecstasy, • Now won’t I burn the midnight oil ? No present could please me better.” Further ecstasies are prevented by the entrance of Miss Tracey who says abruptly. ’ Dear George, you look sort of sickly, as if your work was too much for you. So I’ve brought you a bottleof Pe-ru-na fot your shattered nerves.”— A few stray tears roll over George’s cheeks as he replies : “ Tessa, what could be more worthy of appreciation than your deep concern about my health.” As both girls are feeling confident of success, Millie Ball enters. She has the day before met the bright leader of a German band a fellow who knew George in college. As a result, then, of Art Heussler’s suggestion, she offers George a large tempting doughnut with these words : “ This, Mr. Gray, is a sample of what I shall feed you on.” George's jaws work busily for a couple of minutes and then he opens his arms to Millie with the one simple word, “• Come !” In Memoriam The Board of Editors wishes to announce the death of many old time comrades which have occurred during the year just past. First we wish to tell of the sad, very sad, death of our (with tears we say it) Mother-in-law. Yes, poor old Melancholia is dead. May she ever rest where she belongs. Next we desire with bitter inflammations of the eyelids and twitch- ings at the mouth to announce the dismissal of many and manifold children. Children of Fancy, children of Bride and many others. They have all been buried through the mediation of this annual. The murderer of these? Who would have thought it of “ Our Prex. ” •57 This agony of versifying, And rhyme construction laws defying, This dire and deliberate lying. And rottenness exemplifying. This toasting, blaming, praising, guying, And raving, laughing, weeping, sighing,— For this, O Mephistopheles, We bend the knee in deep contrition And plead thy pardon, grace and mercy. Forgive us for this imposition. lS Murray—■' A shark I am and Irish to boot And Murine says I am really cute.” KEILTY’S STORE GENEVA, N. Y.
