Loftus’ Barber Shop 21 Seneca Street The 1909 Echo Board Editor-in-Chief, Barton Ferris Hauenstein Associate Editors, William James Howell Miles De Verne Stettenbenz Leo Tolstoi Wilcox William Charles Cass Guy Swinburne Houghton Business Manager, Wallace Bannerman Cowan o John Ernest Lansing WE, THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND NINE, DO DEDICATE THIS VOLUME, BEING APPRECIATIVE OF A SPIRIT OF GENIALITY AND GOOD-FELLOWSHIP. ANOTHER swift year has gone by and added to Hobart’s past. Another class has been made welcome here and lias shared in the glory of the victories and the pangs of the defeats of our Alma Mater. Another treasure and memory- laden class has passed out to take its place in this dreary world. Another rise in the ■welfare of Hobart is here, the William Smith School of Science, the Gymnasuim, are instances of this. And now—here is another Echo! Gentle reader—as you peruse this production, smile at the parts intended to be funny, weep at the sight of the sad ones, but, please for the sake of the Board of Editors, don’t sneer at the poor parts. We’ve done our best, at least we feel we have, and that is all we can do toward making this, an output of a class of Hobart College, a success. 7 College Calendar 1908 1909 April 15.

Soon the class scraps, the merry suppers, the countless serenades and the studies that have filled our four years stay here, will be but memories. But a few of the number remain that took up the work here together four years ago. Many have felt the call of duty; many have left to take up burdens in other places. None were disloyal; we hope to prove this when we first, gather again, three years hence, as alumni. We feel they are loyal to their class and, yet more so, to their college. They, with us, have marked a great development in Hobart and broadening of the field of work here. All these thoughts will soon be of the past, we will labor for a foundation of a brilliant future. But we will remember! And, as the memories are recalled, as the faces and forms of our classmates come drifting and floating back to us, in a half-drowsy reverie, our eyes will dim with tears and our smiles will grow soft and tender, and we will wish from the very depths of our hearts that we were back among you all again. As a class—we have been very active. In the scraps and rushes, as the festive Juniors and under the responsibilities of the Seniors, we have taken our part well, besides a deep interest and keen participa- tion in all college activities. And so we, 1908, take this as a fitting place to bid our Alma Mater, her friends and helpers, a full and fond farewell and to wish them all brilliant futures and success to come.

()n such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves. Or lose our ventures. Yes! On such a sea we are now afloat. We have reached the deciding point of our college careers. From the beginning of the junior vear there has plainlystood before us the question of success or failure. Before this time the student struggles on against the strong torrents of college life. If he has proven himself strong he now floats on to victory, but if not, he is lost in the rush for education and for a degree to signify his glory. We now know whether we will be able to gradu- ate with the class or whether we will have to put forth more strenuous efforts to keep pace with the race set before us. If we are in the former class, we continue our work with that satisfied feeling resulting from achievement, but if we are in the latter class, we redouble our endeavors so that at that memorable commence- ment day we may proudly say that we have accomplished our pur- pose, that in the hard contest we were not out-distanced. Tradition savs that all juniors are festive, therefore, while this renowned class is so justly giving the impression that it is one of students, it must not fail to recount all of the social side of its life. In fact, at every occasion it finds an excellent excuse for making merry, but if occasions prove too far apart, this class has a reputation for introducing new customs and establishing new precedents. The history of our first term is quite an uneventful one leading up to that grand social climax of a college career, “The Junior Week. After recovering from the effects of “Junior Week, we turn our hearts to springtime athletics, for the junior class is represented very promi- nently in baseball, football and lacrosse, as well as in scholarship and social affairs. We enjoy to the fullest extent this third period of our college career, when we have neither the trouble of the underclass scraps nor the anxiety of the seniors. We have passed our childhood college days but still we are not on the verge of active business life, until another year shall have rolled on. S we breath a contented sigh and resume our book. Historian, ’09. S3 Junior Class Members Arthur Bernard Buchholz, j , - - 18 Madison St. Geneva, N. Y. Born in Geneva, Dec. 6, 1886. Prepared at Geneva High School. Lacrosse squad (1-2); Board of Governors of the College Club (3). Some people call him Buch-olz, some Buck-holes, some Buckles, some Schnetterheizlich, Schmalz- gesicht,and some Buck. Butwhateverthey call him, there is in every name.asmack of the good old German. It doesone’s heart good to be able to ask in a free and easy way,“ Wiebefinden Sie sich heute, Landsmann ?” Ask Riegel. lie'll tell you how nice it is. Buck likes to know of everything that is going on, German-like. If he does not, then there will be trouble. Just look at him and if he doesn’t look as if he just came over from “Vaterland” in the good German vessel, “Der Schooner,” then Buck will buy the frankforters and wieners. 1 guess we don’t get any. Geneva, N. Y. Born in Geneva, Feb. 4, 1888. Prepared at Geneva High School. Interclass contests (1-2); associate editor of the Echo (3). If you should happen to get a good look at Bill’s profile, you will see that he resembles that hooked- nose Roman, “Csesar.” Bill also asserts that Caesar's saying, ‘‘Veni, vidi, vici,” applies to him also. However, if you should walk down Seneca Street sometime with Bill on a sunny afternoon, I am sure you would think that, “Veni, vidi, victus sum,” is nearer the mark, from the chorus of “Ohs!” and “Ahs!” that escape his lips. He says other things too, but I won’t repeat them. Hobart influence is showing in Bill already. No longer do the harsh and nasal twangs native to a Northener roll from his lips. He has taken up lisp- ing, quite successfully too, and now and then attempts a genuine southern pronunciation, not quite so successfully, however. 54 Junior Class Members John Ernest Connolly, © a x, - - - E. Medbery Hall Phelps, N. Y. Horn in Phelps, Oct. i1S87. Prepared at Phelps High School, (ilee Club (1-2-3); Mandolin Club (1-2—3); Skull and Dagger (2). When you hear the sleepy strains of that charming melody “I was born in the town of Phelps' —there is no need of looking for the instigator of the awful racket. It is Connolly. He is a remarkable musi- cian and so this every day performance in no way detracts from his reputation as such. I Ie plays every instrument with equal ability, but that’s not com- mitting ourselves in any way when we say that. He has a fine ginger-ale tenor, slightly wavering but very strong at the finish. Twice a week John trots faithfully back to Phelps, fearing, no doubt, that a census may have been taken in his absence, thereby causing a decrease in the population of three percent. And that would be an awful blow for Phelps after an increase of one and one-half per cent in seventeen years. Wallace Bannerman Cowan, Lockport, N. Y. Born in Youngstown, X. V., May 23, 1883. Pre- pared at Lockport High School. Class contests (2); Varsity baseball (1-2); Varsity football (1); foot- ball squad (2-3); indoor baseball (2); vice-president of class (1-2-3); Athletic Council (3); captain varsity baseball (2); Board f Control (3); Business Manager of the Echo (3); Chimera (2). This intellectual looking gentleman, as youTsec above, was born in Lockport and this is undoubtedly the most uncomplimentary thing that can be said of him. We can not, however, blame him for that but we can but what is the use, he’s here now, let him stay. He and Sabin. I guess it is, are the two most powerful pillars of this institution, which structure would fall and crumble to mere dust if they withdrew suddenly their support. Cowan asked me to print here a few words that he desired to say to the public. I reproduce them. “Tell those —--------that I said----------when------banner-scraps is a-- — fine thing.” 23 Geneva Hall 55 Junior Class Members Barton Ferris Hauenstein, k a, - Kappa Alpha Lodge Buffalo, N.

Yes, this is Butts. His baby brother called him Butts, and he has been ever after butts. In truth, he is a very ardent janitor as regards the fire-places and ash-trays in his haunts. As to his musical ability, Butts is a great mandolin player. If you ask him to play he always replies, ‘I haven’t touched the mandolin for a month, and then proceeds to demonstrate that he is there with much ability. As to his singing, he possesses a powerful (fine) voice but doesn’t seem to realize that in this branch ot music excuses would be more to the point.

Don’t you know the men you read about in stories. Like Handsome Harry moved noiselessly about the room with his usual cat-like tread, his face immobile, his keen, quick eyes sweeping everything off the table at once. Well—Paul is like that. Besides having those eyes, Paul is noted for the fact that he has been known to have moved twice in the same minute. He believes greatly in the power of mind over body. So firmly that he takes his exercise mentally, going through the movements of the most violent exercises with ease and rapidity, still mentally, and in this way he has heaped upon his slender bones great masses of hard muscle. Paul’s motto is activity, taken judiciously, is all right, sometimes. 56 Junior Class Members Guy SwiNBURffE Houghton, 2 x, - - - B Medbery Hall Albany, N. Y. Born in Albany. X. V . Dec , g, 1887.

Because of this he cannot run the risk of an injury in any athletics, but makes up for it in telling how the one hundred pound boy of the Military Academy at Albany used to catch a Mathewson. or play guard against a Thompson. He is very religiously inclined, when not olT on a tear, and regularly attends the Methodist Church for the purpose of afterwards straying southworthy. About the only real care he has is a much younger brother, who, by the way, is not quite so religiously inclined. William James Howell, 2 , - Corning, N. Y. Born in Antrim, Pa.. June io, 1885.

William James may well aspire to literary honors but it is not upon that fact that he bases his claim to greatness. As a follower of Nimrod, he is seen at his best and in the pursuit of big game, Bill and Lucy, the ferret, are inseparable, indeed Lucy may often be seen clinging affectionately to the finger of William. Since her first appearance thus, Bill has many times generously offered to permit his friends to stroke Lucy but none of them have cared to risk alienating her affections.

Baseball squad (1); class contests (1-2); Board of Governors of College Club (3); vice-president of Class (3-1). To look at James R. Keene, one wonders just what he intends to become. You would very proba- bly say one of the following: Poet, musician, philos- opher, or football player. No matter which one of these you said, you would not come at all near it, for James is going to be a barber! And he is bound to be a success because he can ask more questions in 011c minute than any man alive, as illustrated in Economics, day after day, and I believe that is the one thing that makes the tonsorial artist a success. But, dropping the sarcasm there remains in the hearts of 1909, a large and warm place because of the hospitality and generosity extended to the Sopho- mores of last year at the time of the banner scrap, through him. And so this time we will let him off easy. Charles Albert Miller, 2 , - Clyde, N. Y. J 1 Born in Brooklyn, X. Y., March 20. 1880. Prepared at Clyde High School.

To look at “Tick1’ and note his square chin and broad forehead you might imagine him to be a sober, industrious student, but it grieves us deeply to say that this is not absolutely true. Charles studies, that is so, but it is impossible for a man to have a per- fect concentration of mind when his thoughts arc in Newark, Clyde, Sodus and many parts of Geneva. The old saying of a sailor having a wife in every port is personified in Charles. He is not exactly a sailor but he has a sort of a breezy way about him. “Tickle” is the Sphinx of the Junior class with a reputation as‘‘open” as Waterloo on a Saturday night.

Football team (1 2-3); Freshman Banquet Committee; varsity lacrosse (2); captain varsity football team(3). Pete is a most pompous little runt, in appearance, not more than a child, and yet he is quite old He has a great sense of humor, suddenly bursts into uproarious laughter at a week old joke. He has probably been thinking out the point, meantime. Pete is fond of making calls at about nine o'clock and if someone else is there ahead of him, is perfectly con- tent to sit there quietly till the other goes. If he doesn’t go soon enough to suit him, then Pete very tactfully butts in” and the other one ‘‘butts out ” Jost is also somewhat of a pugilist, you gather that from his words, and I really think it would be a terrible thing to have him hit some one, but this could never happen, because Pete has gotten over it. Otherwise, he may be said to be all right. Nat Thomas Sabin, ©ax, Warren, Ohio Born in Bedford, Ohio, June 17. 1887. Prepared at Warren High School.

Gentle reader, pause in your perusal of the pointed paragraphs in this production and gaze upon this face. Time has not dealt gently with him, already the lines of care, are furrowing the otherwise pink perfection of his stern face. The care of activities, decisions and general progression of the college falls upon his shoulders. Xat has more humility and modesty in him than any man in college and it is a true relief to find one man that doesn’t advance his ideas, without your asking, and place them before everyone elses.

Words fail when one attempts to describe and tabulate the many virtues that are embodied in Frank Hank Shaeffer, and yet there is one that stands out above all the restand that one is generos- ity. Free and easy and careless with money, his friends are constantly on the verge of nervous pros- tration because of the careless and impractical man- ner with whirh he spends his funds Rpnefirent in the extreme, he depletes his bank account in marked acts of generosity. But, taking it all in all, Frank is a pretty good fellow except when he is trying to kid somebody and then, when he does, he makes you feel darned cheap and goat-like.

Altho his grandfather was burgomaster of the town of Stetten, (we haven’t found out just where it is yet), Stett says that the management of his own affairs is sufficient for him. Somehow, we agree with him. “Sloppenbosh” is a great student when he isn’t smoking, and he smokes a great deal. He believes in walking the straight and narrow path, when in love, but he does not quite agree with Dr. Leighton who says a man ought to go to college instead of marrying the girl he’s engaged to. 60 Junior Class Members Joseph Kirkland Taylor, k a, - - Kappa Alpha Lodge Detroit.

We are looking only upon the face, practically, and so miss the most interesting part of all, from the shoulders to his feet. He is a Junior” and requested me to emphasize this fact in the Echo. But for this, and the fact that when aroused he is terrible, everyone would just love to paste him in the nose. It hasn’t happened yet but here’s hoping. Kirk also desired that it be inserted in here that, although he is small and child-like he is really very mature. Oscar Frederick Tiffany, 2 x, Rochester, N. V. Born in Greece. X. Y., Feb. 16, 1883.

Tiffany has been a remarkably good man in his day. I think I can prove this to you. If a man does anything wrong the officials send him to prison. When he arrives there, they cut his hair. Sufficient proof? If you want to find Tiffany any time, there are two places to go, in one of which, you will surely find him. These two places are Dreamland or the Hotel Xester.” If notat the Xester you will see him in Dreamland, very appropriate too for Tiffany, with his lunch-hooks pasted to the agony box, tearing out melody by the yard.

Class contests (1); class secretary (2-2); second prize Freshman Declama- tion; Charles H. Prize (1); Sutherland Physics prize (2); First Intercollegiate English Prize (2). Hobart has worked marvels in Van Slyke. It has given him a broader view of the ways of the world without changing his sterling-silver qualities one bit. One thing, however, remains as a blot upon his col- lege career. He attempted suicide a month or so ago, because he had received 98% on an examination paper and another man drew 99%. He sniffs tobacco-smoke like an old war-horse, and snorts like one when offered a pipe. “Nasty, vile habit,” he says. It is said, by some of his jealous associates probably, that he is one of the original founders of the W. C. T. U., which transposed means “The Universal Whiskey Club.” It was also stated that he used to slave till nearly all in, to further the interest of said society. High St. Woodhull, N. Y.

Class contests (1); speaker Freshman Banquet (1); Bachman Classical prize (2); Second Intercollegiate English Prize (2); associate editor of Echo (3); Dramatic Club (3); Junior Smoker Committee (3). When taking up the pen to write upon our Leo, one rather dreads to put anything down that is at all fictitious or jocular. This probably arises out of respect for a great and vast mind. The mind is strong enough to carry him very successfully through life unless Leo’s sporting proclivities overcome this powerful member, as we are afraid they are doing, and land him by the wayside. Again arises the dread—so all that we can say is that we hope for you, Leo. Turn over a new leaf! Start life in afresh! We feel you have the strength to, although the incli- nation toward wildness is in the blood, undoubtedly. Stop playing the races, carousing, those with you are the little things that will help toward making you over again. 62 Junior Class Members Waldo James Williams, - - C Mcdbery Hall Slatington, Pa. Born in Slatington, Pa., Dec. 12, 1885. Prepared at Perkiomen Seminary. Freshman and Sophomore years at Brown University. Our bright-eyed Billy came to us this year after spending two seasons in the wilds of Brown Univer- sity. He was very successful there but desired some higher French courses,so he came and is now enrolled in the French I class. The number of friends he has is truly remarkable He is very fond of making excursions, short and sweet, to Shortsville, Canan- daigua,Penn Van and we don't know just what others but there are many and many of them. That is I mean many towns. And he isn't in business, is not a physician, has no real occupation and so he, very probably, goes on pleasure. However, as yet he is heart-free and he says his motto is, “Marry them all but love none.” If you turned this around von would strike it about right, I guess.

It is proverbial that men, having passed through such a transformation, become mightily self-important and wise, and brave calumniators may have said that of us. Far from it however, that this should be true of our class. As Sophomores we feel ourselves but a component part of the college body doing such tasks as fall to our lot. How we have done some of them the Freshmen may well bear witness now, and we intend that, in the future, they shall do like- wise. Yet it is impossible that a mere page could adequately set forth the history of a class. Our history is bound up with that of our col- lege, and lies in the heart of each class member, rather than on a mutable piece of paper. Some phases of history the historian’s pen may only attempt, not describe, and so here it may only call up memorials of the past by touching on salient points. With the mention of Commencement, of entering-up day, of the class scraps, of the athletic and social enterprises of the college come thoughts of what part our class has played in them, great or little as the case may be, and we fondly believe great, the historian’s duty is fulfilled if he can but conjure up the memories. Time passeth on, continually bringing up new scenes, events and faces from the future, and whirling them away into the past. But a little while and we will have entered on our final role of college life, that of upperclassmen. Therefore, let those who, perhaps, may be inclined to despise us, remember that just as surely as we arc last year’s Freshmen, so surely we are next year’s Juniors.

That the Soph’s were up against it, was evident, for in five minutes scrap in the dark, the Freshmen were most on top, while our wise, grave, old Seniors were running here and there with lanterns to declare the winners. After these brilliant successes, individual wrestling matches were pulled off, and the Freshies again were most on top. A week or so later the tug-of-war was won by the Sophs, but the persistent young Freshies again added another victory to their laurels in winning the cane rush. Such a succession of con- secutive victories was enough to turn any one’s head and consequently showed that they had too much over-confidence in the result of a nothing to nothing football game, which resulted in a tie. And so, the time has rolled onward, and the class of 19n has settled down. They are now using the mid-night oil solving for X, Y and Z with it and making up their lost work caused by the scraps. Nothing doing? Well—I guess yes! The banner scrap will soon be on, the result of what is yet unknown, and the brilliant victories or downfalls of 1911 are buried in the deep, dense future. What will await them is yet unknown and yet there is no doubt but they will uphold the dignity, welfare and success of their illustrious class, adding reputation upon reputation for themselves and renown for their college, Alma Mater. 72 Historian of ’ii.

Outweighed ir. the majority of games, the team more than made up for that deficiency by its speed and nerve. The season opened with Syracuse whose heavy eleven was held to 28 points by a team that averaged 25 pounds lighter to a man. The next four games were clean, well-earned victories, Palmer being defeated 6-0; Alfred, 11 0; Niagara University, 10-4; and St. Lawrence University, 8-5. The next two games were lost to heavier teams, Colgate winning 23-5. and Rochester, r 1-6. The latter game was played in a sea of mud that rendered the successful use of the for- ward pass impossible and restricted the game to old-fashioned foot- ball in which weight told largely. Much of the success of the season was due to the faithful and untiring efforts of Coach Murray who had the best interests of the team at heart and did his best to bring victory to Hobart.

A decided improvement was shown and good team play was exhibited when Cornell defeated the varsity 3-2 at Ithaca. The first league game resulted in a 10 6 victory over Harvard at Geneva on May 7, and on May i 1, we won our second league game over Columbia at New York City. The varsity played in splendid form in both encounters. Toronto next played us on our own campus on May 22, and won by the very respectable score of 5—3. But on May 22, we Inst a hard and clearly fought game to Cornell on our own campus, the 2-1 victory giving Cornell the lacrosse championship. All the team had relaxed from the season's long strain and Rochester Lacrosse Club easily defeated us 9 o. The season, on the whole was fairly successful, but the whole team was very disappointed in that they did not win the champion- ship cup from Cornell. Hobart played a wonderful game of lacrosse the day Cornell beat her for the cup and it was only by the most bril- liant playing of Cornell’s goal tender that Hobart did not win, she having some 16 shots at the goal in the first half. And to play a team a 2 i game for the championship the first year in the league is no mean performance. Coaches Michaelson and Shaw were the men whose labor, together with the cooperation of the team, gave Hobart the opportunity to fight for first place in the league.

When the candidates met Captain Cowan and Coach Frank in the early spring, the outlook was very far from encouraging, a lack of pitchers was the greatest drawback and it soon became evident that oniy five varsity men were able to play. The team met these discouraging prospects with remarkable pluck and a good fighting spirit. It batted better than any Hobart aggregation of ball players in a number of years. The two pitchers received better support and this led them to play a good steady game and fight to the bitter end. This last is attested by the extra-inning games of which the team won two out of three and tied the other. Coach Frank earned the admiration and respect of every man on the team and the whole college saw the fruits of his work in every game. He was patient and painstaking and allowed none of those petty quarrels and jealousies which are so detrimental to an athletic organization. We are heartily glad that he is to return this year and with but one varsity player lost, the 1908 team should improve upon last year’s record, and make a strong bid for the league pennant.

If this same spirit that is behind Tennis in general continues, it lias a bright future before it. A team from Hobart desired to play in the Inter-Collegiate Tennis Tournament, held at Philadelphia this fall, but, owing to the fact that, Hobart was not in the Association, the team was not allowed to compete. It is hoped that in years to come, i Iobart will make strenuous efforts to be represented in the tournament and gain a place at least. It is also hoped that by some good fortune, one or two good courts may be laid out and this will give the game here a better chance to become one of our prominent sports. !°5 Tennis Team J. C.

This is without Sabin’s age counted in. With Sabin, the average dropped to 20 years, 11 months. Earle Butts blushed and wouldn’t tell his. Taylor is old enough to know better. L. Oliver is 21 and only been pinched once. Average height The average height of the college men is live feet, eight and five- eighths inches. Somebody was kidding Lindsay, when asked how old he was, and he was then up in the air so high, he couldn’t be reckoned in the average. The agent for Shyne’s Laundry said the men in college were as short as any he’d ever seen. Thompson and Taylor refused to answer. Average weight The average weight came to 158.6 pounds. Andrews said he’d wait a little before he told us. The average seems to be a variable quantity. It arises alarmingly sometimes, especially Saturday nights and falls off again, just as quickly. Moss Patch said he couldn’t tell us his weight for sure but that he knew he was 42 inches around the chest. What is your favorite exercise? Reading History reports ran away with this. Getting up for Chapel is Grove’s favorite pastime. Keeler says he gets more exer- cise out of rolling cigarettes than anything else. Hoffman’s exer- cising his brain, but he adds that he is really very moderate about it. Who was your favorite Instructor last year? Many did not see how we could ask this question. We saw the folly of it later. The vote was unanimous in favor of the man who will dwell in the hearts of the Hobart students for years, some years. What time to arise in the morning? Keeler gets up for breakfast—sometimes. Riegel doesn’t. The average, after casting some out, came to 8120 a. m. Petrie and Camp- bell counted in the list, make no change. Campbell arises at 5 145 a. m 124 What time do you retire? This average fell at 12:20 a. m. Doolittle said lie goes to bed when he gets his lessons finished. Dwindle and Bellringer stay up till every one in Medbery is in bed. It would be embarrassing to say at what time they get to lied some nights. How many hours a day do you study? We refuse to state some of the answers. We fear to commit ourselves upon this point for the reason that some of the sceptical members of the faculty might imagine that we were exaggerating. But, really, we were surprised to find out how much time was wasted, or pardon, we should have said spent, on work. We will say that Keeler’s and Herendeen’s answers were of the kind which smacked of sincerity and truth. No exaggeration in these. Both answered: “Not a h—1 of a lot.” Does the Library interest you? Many answered that they took a passing interest in it. Some said that they liked to look in once in a while. Others said they had great difficulty in finding books and must have help. Cowan said he was always fond of light hair. Riegel has taken a deep interest, in the Librarv since September and adds that, he finds the light better out in the hail. Many say they take no special interest in the library except that they always have a great many messages to take to Dr. Vail. The place impresses Sabin in a peculiar way. He said that he cannot go up to read unless he has a collar on, and his good suit. Still you cannot blame them. It’s really a very attractive place. 25 Poem to Mr. Van Auken After the paying of a term-bill (With apologies to Tennyson) Broke—broke—broke! Not one cold grey bone can I see! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. 0 well for the millionaires’ son, As he smiles at the girl in the play! O well for the scholarships men, Do their term-bills worry them ? Nay! My economy makes me feel sad, My brokenness makes others curse; O! Could I but touch the absent Dad, For something to fill my purse. Broke—broke—broke, 0! Van Auken if you could but see! How I’d spend that money I paid to you, Which will never come back to me. 126 Frivolous, Facetious, Fanciful, Faculty Frolics An Operetta IN ONE ACT AND A COUPLE OF SCENES Presented at Coxe Mall Executive Staff Business Manager..................................Willum Smyth e Advance Agent..................................

ACT I Scene I. Night Editor's Office, Hobart Herald. Scene II. College Campus. ACT I Scene I Curtain rises, disclosing Night Editor’s Office of Hobart. Herald. Office force in their respective places, all asleep. Prof. Pebbles lean- ing up against an imaginary wall, also fast asleep. Enter Prof. Teaspoon, dressed in white sailor suit with knicker- bockers, wearing a sailor hat. Holds dark lantern in one hand and has map under other arm. Doesn't see Pebbles and knocks him over. The noise awakens office ft rce. 127 Teaspoon unmasks and sings: “To me it is a mystery It doesn’t stand in history 'It may have crept in somehow by mishap. A hoodoo is upon our men, We’ve felt that time and time again But I really cannot solve it from this map.” (Teaspoon opens map, disclosing red lithograph of the “Parisian Widows.” Office force quits work and gathers around. Pebbles awakens suddenly, rubs his eyes and looks about him. Then arises.) Teaspoon and Pebbles, (at front of stage): Hist—hist—sssh! ! (At word Hist, the two Brownies shoot up through trap doors on to stage and scamper off into the wings.) Pebbles: “The Hoodoo.” Teaspoon: “Your on, kid.” (Fall for each others arms but miss. Brownies steal in with slap- sticks and apply them to Pebbles and Teaspoon as they arise. Both, then, scamper off stage on their hands.) Pebbles: “Now, Teaspoon, quiet all your fears, It can’t be thus for many years, The hoodoo can not long remain unknown, So follow me, ’twill be all right, We’ll start to find it out tonight Before we have a minute older grown.” Exit, together with office force Enter Shovels, followed by Brownies who carry a blanket. Attempt, by Brownies, made to toss Shovels in blanket. Blanket tears and Shovels falls heavily to the stage. Shovels: “We are having a ripping good time, let’s sing.” All three sing: “We are three jolly good fellows, We are three jelly-like fellows, And we love to eat ’Till we’re full to our feet, And as fat as though blown up by bellows.” 128 Shovels: 1 haven’t looked into this thing very carefully but I'll join your Brownie band if you will let me in on the secret of this here hoodoo.” DI'kr: “That’s just what we would like to know! We are disguised this way merely to find it out.” Chick: (Whispers to Durf) “I think Shovels believes the Brownie Band is a drinking society and that’s why he wants to join.” Dear: (Takes a chew and offers one to Shovels. Shovels shakes his head, but laughs and, clapping his hands, shouts) ”1 know the formula of that. I know the formula of that.” Vail : “Come, you slobs, let's sing.” All three sing: “Ho! for the fat men They’re the stand-pat men, For avoirdupois do they stand, To just take on weight We work early and late. So join the fatty fat band.” Shovels and Brownies do a short dance and retire. Enter Withouteggs and Operation: (Put on gloves and spar swiftly. (Iperation swings wildly, then exclaims): “You'r too spare to spar with! (Withoutegges lands heavily on Operation's eve.) Withoctegges: With satisfaction: “Oh! if that were only the hoodoo. Operation, (not hearing him. puts hand to his eye): “I see where the doctor does some lancing. (Chairs on stage fall over, piece of scenery drops, orchestra strikes and refuses to work.) Withoutegges: “Oh! you little rascal, now you’ve roused the hoodoo.” Operation: “Lets' find the naughtv thing.” Both sing: “We'll surely find it out We’ll surely find it out, If it does lie within the scope of Science, For we are all to the merry, And the hoodoo can not tarry. Since we have almost any old appliance.” 129 Enter: Pebbles, Shovels, Diirf, Chick, Teaspoon with chorus. (While music plays, company goes through many fanciful movements representing different drinks.) Grand finale chorus: “The hoodoo is yet to be found, Both high and low we'll seek, We will search every bit of ground, We’ll scour every river and creek, We’ll find him wherever he be, And upon him revenge we will take, No matter how hard he may flee He’ll be ducked pretty soon in the lake.” (Thanksgiving walks in and all fall down as if dead.) Curtain. Scene II (College campus in front of Coxe Hall.) Enter Earlyoff and Billsdauter talking excitedly: Earlyoff: I’ll tell you who I think it is. I’m sure the hoodoo’s Babbling. Billsdauter : That really might be very true, For he’s in occult dabbling. Earlyoff: Now just as soon as he comes near We’ll hit him on the chin. Billsdauter : And soak him in the stomach then So to sit on him and grin. Enter Babbling dressed in a white bathing suit., with a large straw bathing hat on his head and shin guards on his legs. Carries a tele- scope. Babbling: I heard what you said, my very dear Sirs, And it made me feel quite sad, But I’d love to have you paste me now, If it would make you feel at all glad. (At these words he casts aside his telescope and sails into Earlyoff and Billsdauter.) After both Earlyoff and Billsdauter are exhausted, Babbling stops and gazes around the stage with his telescope. Babbling, to audience: “I’m looking for the pieces and also for the hoodoo. You see here I have a telescope of my own construction and I feel sure that the hoodoo will now be discovered.” 130 Enter The Giant, (exhibits his muscle.) Giant: You see with this great massive strength I’m bound to find what’s wrong, And if I cannot fix the hoodoo, I'm not worth a song. (Retires behind the wings and waits anxiously for applause. Gets none. Then comes out and shakes hands with Babbling.) Babbling (showing him the telescope): “You see 1 made this all myself and I am going to right the wrong,” The Giant: “1 don't see how you can write with that.” (Ter- rific applause at this sally.) (Tremendous noise heard off the stage. Sound of broken glass and falling bodies.) Babbling: Mercy, here comes the hoodoo! !” The Giant : “No, that’s simply Boistrous and Sparethatree. Babbling : “And why the noise?” The Giant: “Oh! I guess they have been spending an after- noon at Bill's, as usual. Let’s beat it. Exit both. Enter Sparethatree and Boistrous with their arms around each others necks.) Sparethatree : “What would wifie say if she could see me now?” Boistrous: “Sssh.” Sparethatree : “Let's sink. Both sing: “Snau blaw blup smab We blong snest smoliege We're not Raid of thlewdo Got too rna bloledge.” Sparethatkke : “You were you singing the second verse?'’ Boistrous: “You don’t know what you're talking about.” Sparethatree: “Don't sepeak, thus. It brings back to ma that I’m married.” Boistrous: '1 think the hoodoo is influencing you, too.” Sparethatree: “The hoodoo. Ah! I have it.” (Peers about on all sides. Takes Boistrous by the arm and leads him to the front of the stage.) 131 Boistrous: “Well.” Sparethatree : “It's Thanksgiving.” Boistrous: “Ha! Ha! You picked an onion. Christmas has just passed. Don’t you suppose I still have in my nightmares that tie that —.” Sparethatree: “Speak not of ties. It brings back to me so forcibly the idea of marriage that —.” (The whole company come rushing on the stage. All seem in a state of great excitement.”) Chorus: “The hoodoo is gone, the hoodoo is gone Somebody surely has righted the wrong It has gone! It has gone! ! It has gone ! ! !” Thanksgiving enters quietly, a broad smile on his face. Takes flowers from a basket and scatters them broadcast. The company all stands with faces wreathed in smiles Thanksgiving: “Ha! Ha! Ha! How are you gentlemen?” Chorus sings as company dances around stage: “The hoodoo has left us, for once and for all, We hope it will never come back. We worked and we labored to puzzle it out, But none of us took the right track. The hoodoo is lifted for sure, we feel, Now let us forget our sorrow, We hope that the thing has left us for good. And will not come back tomorrow. It wasn’t so bad as at first we all thought Yet surely it wasn’t so mild, But of this we are certain, the hoodoo has gone, And our burdened Thanksgiving has smiled. Thanksgiving has smiled, smiled, SMILED.” Curtain. 132 College Wits Natural: “Skedige Andrews “Dummy” Taylor “Runt” Westbrook Periodical : W.

But two clearings broke the mass of rugged verdure, two rocky, uneven slopes with but a few giant trees left whose aged boughs rocked in the wind. Faint blue mists dissolved the line of the low- land to the South. Springing in that hazy and uncertain region, Caudor Creek flowed—-a stream rather wild in aspect as it rumbled among great boulders thrice the height of a man, but from the store seeming mere pebbles, and the current but a ribbon of steel. The murmur softly drifted up in the scurrying breeze, but flecks of foam played on the broken surface. Elliot knit his brows as he observed the heavy dark clouds lowering over the valley, in whose fleecy mists the crests of the hills were lost. He tapped his foot on the walk thoughtfully. Much as he had anticipated the railroad work, yet the present locality rather differed from the scene he had dreamed about in col- lege, and he confessed it startled him considerably. His father by whose influence he had obtained the position, suggested the bottom rung of fame. That it should be presented to him in the form of a position known as the “wild-cat” of the E. S. line had never occurred before. Mr. Field shrewdly guessed that new ideas of the business would rush, thick and fast. The holder of the position had resigned because the climate was disagreeable; the one previous out of superstition; and the one before had been murdered in the office. The mystery of this murder had hung cloud-like over the country, and had been a source of much comment, over which many sage heads were wagged, for two years or more. A little dark haired girl had been found on the premises, but the child held a smoking revolver. With wide eyes it looked on the recent victim, lying crumpled, head bent under arm, by the swivel chair of the office. The little one burst into tears and was carried home by a laborer. It was Mag, the gypsy girl, whose wild traits were retold and discussed many a long winter’s eve, when as everybody knows, witches think nothing of prowling about in the darkness. Her prowling consisted in many dark experiences. She had danced on the church altar, and had become intoxicated by the wine in the vestry. Her parents were according to the gossips the thunder and the moon. Perhaps it was from this latter ancestor that she was accused of lunacy. More practical people, such as the laborer who took her home, declared that her father was a railroad man, and that 136 Mag, the little wise-head, herself knew more about railroads than many an exj ert. Elliot, having completed his survey of the weather, shook his head ominously and turned within the store. The great clock on the wall indicated live minutes after the hour, and the live-twenty, Elliot knew, was on time. In his haste, he nearly stumbled over the keeper's little son who was doing a sort of fandango to the tune of a music box. The intoxicating acid odor of cheap candies permeated the air, intermingled with that of fruit. The keeper was standing on a barrel, lighting the oil lamp. “Put up my order quickly, please, I’ve got to get back for the five-twenty. Give me some sugar -say a pound of it, Elliot said, interrupted by t he soothing voice of the keeper. “Wait a minute. re]died the keeper, proceeding to tie up a bundle. “There’s a lady as is ahead of you. Elliot in vexation glanced about, to see a girl of about eighteen, with a face looking a deal older, perched upon a cracker box. Her dark eyes, depths unfathomable, ] eered at him with some curiosity, and with the gleam that lights the eyes of a wolf. She was smoking a cigarette with much satisfaction. Evidently, a foreigner, mayhap a Hungarian, according to her garl� . “Here, wail on me. This girl can wait, and I tell you by heaven “Wait a minute, again the soothing voice of the keeper as he measured oil into a can, “Wait a minute, my dear sir. The keeper placed a box of matches on top of the other packages and slid them over to the girl. She drew a long puff of smoke, and as she passed Elliot, blew it out contemptuously into his face. With a little laugh, and drawing her scarf closer, she took the packages. Then she walked outof the door oblivious of everyone. As she crossed the walk to the woodland turf, the wind blew her masses of dark hair about her. and flapped the scarf against her waist. She broke into a tripping pace, and snatches of a wierd, little song could be heard, until she disappeared in the waving green of the hedges, “Look at here,” growled Elliot savagely. “Eve got to get that five-twenty. I've got to run like the deuce to get there, and switch it, now.” “It’s better to wreck forty trains, than to git Mag o’ Caudor Creek riled. She’s set agin you now, and better look out, I say! She’ll be in to call soon enough, I reckon.” The keeper gave a short, easy laugh. “Whew! So that's the lady, is it? I don't doubt but what she 37 will be around, Hm! She’s a queer sort of make-up,” remarked Elliot, leaning to give a parting glance down the path. ‘‘The queerest piece ever I see,” assented the keeper. ‘‘Here’s them candles. We ain’t got the other kind you want in stock.” ‘‘Those will have to do!” Elliot seized the parcels and hurried out of the store, down by the ravine, and over the bridge. The creek rumbled gloomily as it washed on its way below. Thunder threatened a shower in the distance. Afar down the creek, Elliot espied a figure stooping to drink of the cool waters. A red scarf flaunted familiarly. It was Mag, who, on rising, ran lightly on down the ravine. Large drops of rain commenced to fall, so that Elliot did not pause. At five-twenty-two he hastened within the house, and dropping the bundles on his desk, he swung, with both hands, the switch of track No. 2. The five-twenty rushed thru, with great whirl of steam and smoke, the groaning of breaks, and the pounding of the locomotive. Thundering over the iron trestle, it slowed for water opposite the tank, with a sigh of exhaustion. And later, as Elliot sat in the wheeling chair, smoking with a rest- ful feeling, he felt stealing upon him a sense of great loneliness—there in the perilous switch house. The air from the window breathed of pungent pine and spruce, wafting memories of the dead summer and abundant harvest. Elliot blew a ring of smoke and watched it with half-closed eyes, as it curled twisting and turning, pale blue, toward the ceiling, till, whirled by the draught from the window, it fled into space. A filmy crown it had been for a phantom face, which scattered with the smoke into air. Elliot sighed at the contrast of his barren office to the cosy luxury of that old college room. The sweet fragrance of old days with the brilliant colored and soft scented flowers at the “Prom,” then the perfume of spring fled before the wild odor of the autumn wind. The vision of the girl at the store—ah Mag, poor child, came before him, with her wealth of black hair, and the curious eyes. “Better wreck forty trains than git Mag riled.” Elliot laughed delicately at the keeper's words, then tapped the briar against his desk so that the white ashes fell into the waste basket. But outside the wind arose, and rattled the panes with a futile tone of restless wander- ing. Black tossing shadows with gaunt fingerlike boughs reared against the black sky. A freight rumbled past. The rain continued its ceaseless drum at the window, pattering softly. Lighting the oil lamp, Elliot drew forth a few packages and dis- closed a little meal of sandwiches, jelly and a bottle of cold coffee. Duty up at ten o'clock, he would fare better at the boarding house. 138 Meanwhile his work was easy, and a few freights before the special had to be attended to. That was all, unless the special should happen to be ahead of time, when a little extra work would be required. How- ever, Torrence would notify him if such were the case, Torrence being the next town on the line. I Ie went about his duties rather morbidly, telegraphed a few messages, went to the window and switched a lum- bering freight onto a siding, and then switched it back again. The rain ceased its brush at the panes, but the wind moaned constantly and the low wash of the creek could be heard. Leaning back his head, Elliot closed his weary eyes for a moment. It was hardly a moment when that nervous instinct of fear awoke him. lie had a vague impression of the telegraph having vainly clicked his call. The lamp dickered casting leaping shadows. Ah! there it was again -the sound of hoofs on the beaten roach The door was dung open. One hand on the door, and the other clenching a pistol, stood Mag. I ler footsteps were muffled by large moccasins. The whistling wind waved her hair, into a grotesque frame from her face. “Elliot Field,” she challenged, hurling his name slowly at him in a jeering tone. “Elliot—Field !“ Elliot grasped tightly the arms of his chair. “Think I can’t shoot don’t you? she laughed, and shot the chimney off the oil lamp so that it crashed to the door, and the dame arose smoking. She came forward with a cat-like tread, keeping the revolver levelled at him. Her eyes fascinated him, but with voice lowered she said hoarsely. “Throw the switch on track No. 4!“ “What?” Elliot's lips tightened, with the realization that to throw the special into a siding at its tremendous rate of speed would make probable its jumping the track with the possible wreck of the local. “Throw the switch on track number four, you fool!” she said evenly. Her 1 ireath was strong and her cheeks dushed. “It’s a special and will be going at an awful rate! Something in her face bade him swing the great levers, or perhaps it was the cold gleam of the revolver. He went next to the telegraph instrument . A word to Torrence Falls would make everything safe. She laughed rather mirthlessly. “The wires are down, struck by lightning a little while ago.” Ensconcing herself on the desk, she threw down the revolver and lit a cigarette. “God’s love, ain’t it a nawful night. There’s rain an’ mud, an’ r39 mud as sticks to the ragged coat quicker 'n fine duds.” Elliot walked casually to the switchboard, and leaned over the levers to glance out. “Leave them be,” she cried in a low tone, fingering her revolver. “I’ve got enough liquor in me to kill ten like vouse, and I’ll do it too!” With the same cat-like tread she went to the window and peered out. Then taking a flask from her waist, she uncorked it. “Goda- mighty, 1 'm strong on the liquor, have a swig?” Elliot shook his head. His worries were overcoming him and he paced the floor. Shortly, a train rushed past, lights a gleaming and sparks mounting in drifts of steam and smoke. Then, without slow- ing it passed on out of sight, the end lights rocking, wavering in the distance. “The special, number four!” gasped Elliot, with tremendous relief. He looked quizzically at Mag. As for that lady, she did not respond for a moment, requiring as she did, some minutes to frame her thoughts. “Yes,” she remarked with disgust, ’“It was the special. It was the local as left Torrence Falls first, and they telegraphed you but the wires is down. If you hadn’t switched the damned local on the siding the special would a caught up and chewed it up like a mad dog.” Elliot was dazed. “And the train would have gone down the embankment probably at Forks Passing. And you —?” “Ah!” said Mag shortly. “That ain’t here nor there. I was up at Torrence, at the station an' heard all about it so I took someone’s nag, feedin' in the pasture nearby and rode down, licketv split, an’—an’ that’s all.” Outside the thunder crashed and rolled, with the lightening glimmering anon. The local passed, and as its rumble died away, Elliot pondered at Mag’s motive. “Lor, ain’t I got enough reason to save a few, I've killed enough to blast me to hell ten times over, ha!” “The old station agent?” queried Elliot, not noticing the wince of pain in the soft features of Mag. She responded nothing, but grasping her revolver, went out of the door, where the winds seem to enfold her. She wheeled back and her face lit up with a gentle smile. Elliot noted the smothered fire in her eyes. But she went out quickly with the panther's step, and was lost in the dark. “Poor little woman,” murmured Elliot, turning away with a throb at his heart. His ancestral time-piece denoted five after ten. PIoward R. Patch. j 40 Simple! Isn’t it?

'45 The Motive So this was the place, these the associates to which his father had exiled him. Exiled, he could think of no better word. Ever since he could remember his life had been one continual round of gratified desires. Its crooked paths had been made straight, its rough places smoothed by the magic of his father's influence and money, and, then like a criminal, who born and bred in evil, has no realization of that evil, he had been called before his father to listen to a tirade of rebukes, recriminations and fault finding. His a wasted life, he a worthless son. These words stung when he thought he had been ful- filling his father’s dearest hopes. “I'm rough myself, but I want to see my son a gentleman fit to bear his part well in society.” These had been his father’s very words when he sent him to college. Had he not fulfilled this desire according to his own lights, though perhaps his and his father’s definitions of the terms gentleman” and “society” might have differed considerably? And now to be called upon to work. Work, he didn’t mind that so much if only he could find a reason, a something to force him to it besides his father’s caprice. Something vital and compelling. But there was none visible, no press for food, for clothing, no call of dependant relatives. Since he had been brought up a gentleman, why not let him sit by and cull life’s pleasures paying due toll from his father’s abundant wealth? Hence, rebellion, rage, hate, walled up in his soul, and yet uselessly for he knew he didn’t dare take advantage of his father’s words: “If you don’t like it, you can lump it.” Then, indeed, would all hope of an easy, care-free existence be gone. Better let things drift along, and hope for a relief somehow from this detested life of the wilderness sawmill. Reluctantly he breathed the hot, close air of the store. In it the acrid tobacco smoke hung in a blue stratum just above the heads of the mill men who sat in close circle about the glowing stove. Dull, ignorant men he thought, what could they know of the finer side of life with all its social delights. Coarse, unkempt, grimed with toil, they grated on his finer sensibilities. Vile tobacco suited them, they were ignorant of the latest novel, their only pleasure a coarse bam dance, or a furious debauch. This very night, he remembered, the Donaldson cotillion was on. Immaculately dressed fellows and girls would be whirling about in the gleaming turns of the dances,or smilingly passing the proper platitudes of the day. And here he was cooped up with these lumbermen. But their eyes, keen, far seeing with the depth of the outdoor spaces in 146 them, whenever they scrutinized him he felt strangely ill at ease and embarrassed as he had never felt at the most exacting social gathering. Then it had been his external value, was his coat the latest cut? Now, it was his true worth, was he white clear through? “Damn those lamps anyway,” the superintendent burst out turn- ing from his desk. “What in blazes is the matter with 'em.” Their pale yellow light badly lit up his desk flanked by the iron safe, the group of men about the stove, and shone faintly in the farther comers on a shiny lantern, the 1 rnckle of a mackinaw, a row of tin cans, an axe blade. For this was the base of supplies for a half dozen outlying camps. “Saay llud,” the superintendent spit fiercely at the stove door, “hev ye got all the timber skidded on section nine?” Long and narrow the man was with a bullet head and deep set eyes. “She’s all done 'cept a little piece over in the swamp an’ I’ll bet she’d over run your estimates.” “Well, young feller.” and he turned to the mill owner’s son, “seein’ the job’s so near done, I guess we’ll travel up Lhar tomorrow and begin scalin’. “All right.” So he was to be a log scaler. Why had not his father at least put him to work in the office in the city where he might have kept in touch with the congenial friends and pleasures of society? What interest c mid he ever arouse in this deadening work, these stolid associates? “Wilkins, how’s the leg tonight?” The superintendent’s voice was full of thoughtful care. “Purty fair, Mr. Perkins. Hope to git t’ work the first of the week.” “Well, don’t hurry it too much.” The mill owner's son nudged the man on his left. “Who is that fellow anyway?” “Bub, that’s Bert Wilkins, the best sawyer in two counties.” At that moment his questioner would have given much to have been able to command by some individual skill as much respect as this sawyer. Yet his spirit recoiled from the necessary work that he knew lay beneath this reputation. Doubtless necessity for a livelihood had spurred this man on. But for him personally, no reason was visible. He’d accept the fruit of such labor, but there’d have to be a bigger motive than that to cause him to undertake the work itself. Had he not presented himself to his father as a perfect dancer, a master of small talk, an ideal society man, and been turned down? And were not these the accomplishments that were to satisfy the demand of wealth ? 147 A tall,lank man slid ofT the counter and slouched toward the door. “Hits nine o'clock boys and grub termarrer at five thirty, ye’d better come along with me to the boarding house.” One by one, the men filed out, silently, with heavy feet. Daily work in the cold and silence of the woods is wearisome and repressive. Going outside was like passing into another world. Out in this night the young man found no arc lights, no passers by, no houses pressing close with their promise of nearby human life. None of these things peopled the empty spaces of the night. He felt very small and lone- some here close to the raw primeval wilderness. A gust of wind rushed past and sighed away in the forest. Hurriedly he made for the boarding house. That night the first storm of the winter swept down over the north country, hissing through the bare limbs of the hardwoods, load- ing the broad fans of the balsams, and drifting the trails. Shaggy and dark the spruces lined the sides and vested the top of the mountain behind the mill. Here and there a mass of last night’s snow had caught on their thick top, and the rising sun catching these turned them into splashes of living fire. Straight up into the cold, still air rose a blue film of smoke from the black stack of the mill. Sud- denly the whistle roared, its hoarse note booming out over the hills from which, echoed back, it finally died away over miles of snowy, silent wilderness. The signal for work. Strangely moved that this signal should apply to him the mill owner’s son strode away with the superintendent heading for Sweet Shanty swamp. For a while they went in silence. The woods were beautiful. Through the bare limbs of the hardwoods shone the cold sun glittering on the crystal mounds of snow on bush and limb. Here and there a spruce or hemlock showed lonely and dark against the gleaming white. Now and again their snowshoes crossed the track a a fox or rabbit, deep sunken in the lightness of the new fallen snow. Through the cold still air came the hoarse scream of the circular saws cutting the air like a knife. They descended a hill and this too was gone, the silence closing in about them almost palpably. “That’s a fine pair o’ moccasins ye got there, young fellow.” “Are they ? My father had all this outfit ready for me.’ ’ “You bet he got good ones. He’s the bully boy when it comes to dealing with the woods.” “Don’t you get tired of this life, Mr. Perkins, want to quit and take things easy ?” “No, why should I ? O’course I like to run out to the settlements 148 once an’ awhile to see the folks, but sho, as fur quittin' I’ve been born and brought up in this .sort of business.” The younger man knew that his father had offered this mart an easy position in the office, but he had refused it preferring the much harder one of mill boss. Perhaps here lay the reason. ‘‘Born and brought up to it.” This was why then men would spend their whole lives in labor that was toilsome, unnecessary from his point of view. Because they knew no 1 letter. And others, though ca] al le of earning much higher wages would stick to some out of the way place, in some laborious work. Well, lie had been born and brought up a gentleman, and only wished ti continue as such. By tinis time they had reached the slashing, and descending a hill came out into the swamp. Over the scene the superintendent flung out his arm. ‘‘She’s been a good cutting here, 1 oy. And indeed it had. All about them the trees had been felled opening up a broad stretch of the steely blue sky. Mere and there an unsalable tree stood gaunt and lonely. Every where lay the debris of the slaughter. Tops, branches, young trees, heaped in wild confusion but with all their raggedness smoothed over by the snow. And the center of all this was the skids piled high with logs. From afar on the edge of the woods they could hear the shouts of the teamster, the thudding axes, and now and aga n the swishing roar of a falling tree. Here nature was yielding her utmost tribute to the forces of develop- ment and civilization. All day they worked in the cold, snowy woods going from skid- way to skid way with their slender sealers’rules. For the first time the young man learned to tell the smooth, grey coated balsam from the dark, ridged hemlock and the spruce covered with its tiny scales, learned why every 1 g was cut just so and the mystery of sealing them. And to his surprise all this interested him. Then as they plodded back to the mill in the gray twilight he felt for the first time the thrill of satisfaction in accomplishment, in the doing of something worth while. But what was the use, he hadn’t been born and trained for this. It was a pleasant diversion, but he felt sure lie would soon grow tired of it. For him it was purposeless. He had been born to the heritage of society, why not let him come to his own? So the days ran into weeks and his brain grew weary of this con- stantly recurring question. He lapsed into a state of indifference doing his allotted task blindly and without pleasure. The novelty had worn off, and there was no sustaining motive to keep him up He felt that his mind was fixed. Let his father keep him there ever 49 so long the result would be the scene. This wasn’t his sphere of activity. There was one consolation though, he would have some- thing to boast of when he returned to his set. On the other hand it never seemed proper to him to boast of his social successes to the lumbermen, and yet with all his determination he could not feel satis- fied with his apathy. Now for three days it had snowed, steadily, persistently. First a snow fire-like dust that filled up every road and trail with a hard packed mass. Then great, heavy flakes that buried everything in smothering drifts. The first two days they had attempted to keep the roads open and haul logs to the rollway beside the mill, but now gave up the task as hopeless. Nature held them in check. Through the white, silent woods the superintendent and mill owner’s son were returning to the mill from a nearby camp. It was well on toward evening of the third day. The great white flakes drift- ing silently downward spread a deadened silence all around. The men’s faces were wet with them, they massed on their shoulders, and clogged their snowshoes. Only faintly, as a monotone, could they hear the rumble of the mill. “Young feller, what’s the matter with you and this work. You do it, but it's plain you haven’t got your spirit in it, you don’t seem to see any reason for your work. You’llnever learn the business that a way.” “You’re right, Mr. Perkins. When I first came here I hated the whole thing. It was no wish of mine that brought me here. You know 1 was bred a gentleman, or at least that’s what my friends called it. I’d been to college, traveled, and this was rather a come down, and my only thought was to get out as quickly as possible. But since I’ve been here I’ve begun to see that perhaps there are other things in the world besides being a perfect society man. I know I’m untrue to my creed in saying this, but some how the woods have made me think a bit. I’ve felt pretty small and insignificant sometimes standing beside a great old tree out here with the vastness of the forest all round me. Things unless they’ re mighty necessary don’t seem of much account there.” Unconsciously he was making this man a confidant of the thoughts that had perplexed him for weeks. “Boy, ye wouldn't be your father’s son ef the woods didn’t get their grip on you sooner or later. You’ve been to college, you’re a member of the upper crust you say. Well did ye ever notice that in a creek by the root of a tree, or a curve in the bank there’d be an eddy, with a lot of bubbles and foam swirling lazily around ? But there’s a deal of water beneath them that’s hurrying right along and doing a pile of things. To my thinkin’ them bubbles and foam is like the 150 upper crust, the society ve speak of, lookin' pretty and glistenin’ in the sun but of blame little use. Quit it hoy. quit it. and be that part of the world that’s goin’ somewheres and doin' something.” They strode on in silence for a few moments. “Perhaps you’re right, Mr. Perkins, and there are times when I wish I wasn’t in it as deep as I am, that I’d started my life in another way. But some h w 1 can’t find the reason why I should leave it now I’m in it. and why shouldn’t I continue getting all the pleasure out of life I can. There are so many people that have to work anyway. You can’t upset the habit of a lifetime bv a few words, there’ll have to be something real.” “Well, ain’t there something real? Why shouldn’t ye quit easy street. I ain’t educated, I hain’t been to college, but I’ve seen life. To get out and work with your hands and your brains, to feel that you’re doing suthin’ worth while, to feel the thrill of gittin’ there, of not lettin’ life slip by ye without leavin’ you're trademark in it somewhere T can’t say it as I would, 1 mt the feelin’s there. That's a motive for you. Why shouldn’t I quit work, as I well could ; why do soldiers stick to the (lag when they know the cause is lost? Why do the men on the edge of civilization keep a lightin' with the wilderness, an’ those that do quit for a while come stragglin’ back agin; why don't you’re own father quit? By God, boy. it’s the w rk itself.” So this was the answer to the question that had perplexed him. “That’s all right for men who have all the schooling of a life of striving and patient endeavor to help them on. But you hold up too high a standard to me. Purposeless and without this discipline what can I do but keep on drifting through life.” The superintendent was silent, his creed could not appreciate this feeling. By now they stood at the edge of the woods on a hill overlooking the mill hedged about by the great white wilderness. Xotlrng relieved the monotone but the black stack of the mill. Even the dark of the spruce was lost in the smothering white. It had stopped snowing at last and as they Stood there watching the silent night shutting down, the clouds suddenly broke apart in the west. A great flood of crimson light shot out between their ragged black edges. Wherever it touched it tinged the snow a baleful red. As suddenly the clouds shut down again, and white flakes slanted through the air once more. “Boy, Nature's a wonder ain’t she?” With a sense of foreboding they plodded downward toward the store. There they learned thatTlate in the afternoon a man had lost an arm at the edge, and now lay perilously close to death in the room 151 above them. But night had shut down, the roads all but impassable, and they decided to wait till morning before seeking the doctor some six miles away. Unless the bleeding started the man would live till then. The circle of men about the stove was absolutely silent this night. The gurgling suck of a pipe, an expulsion of smoke above showed that they were sensible. For in the room above them a man was struggling hard to keep his grip on life. Suddenly they all started. There was a sound like a dry branch sliding across the window, and the door rattled ever so slightly. “What was that?” a man muttered. The question was drowned in the answer. A vast, wild roaring sob of wind rushed down upon the stairs, shook it terribly, and then swept on into the night. Gust followed gust so close that it was one continuous roar, and the rush of the snow against the windows was terrific. Unconsciously the men hitched nearer the stove. As they were in the act the superintendent entered silently. “Boys,” and his voice barely rose above the roar and rattle of the storm. “Spenser’s arm’s bleeding agin. Not much but I can’t stop it and he won’t last till morning ef we can’t get the doctor.” There was no need of the question. Man looked at man and each dropped his eyes to the floor. A.shrill indrawing of breath marked the rise of the mill owner’s son. “I’ve found a motive, Mr. Perkins, for doing one thing at least. I guess I’ll try the trip.” Silently he made his preparations, and silently stepped toward the door. But the superintendent stopped him. “Jest let me shake hands with a man.” For a second their hands met, and the next the man within had all he could do to shut the door against the white fingers of the storm that clutched fiercely into the room. A moment the man outside slung to the lee of the building appalled by the fury of the night. The narrow circle of the storm swirled about him, the wild flung shapes of the snow wreaths showing grayly in the blackness. This would be no puerile contest of nature against a man with all the aids of civilization at his back. It was bare, unaided, primeval man against the unrestrained forces of nature. A wild, battling impulse surged fiercely up in the man’s soul and found vent in a ringing yell of defiance as he plunged out into the chaos of wind and snow. As of some vast organ played by a demonia- cal hand he heard the roar of the tortured forest lashed by the wind. Its icy breath bit at him fiercely, snatching away bis breath, and leav- ing him gasping in a mass of swirling snow. The man was dimly con- scious that the lumber piled along the road kept him from going astray !52 in the clearing. Then he was in the woods forcing huge drifts. Many were too soft to snowshoe over, and against them he would hurt his body crushing through in a welter of smothering snow. Now and again, the sharp sting of a branch across his numbing face would warn him that he was off the roach Every bit of energy in his mind was bent on getting forward, and his mind would dwell anxiously on some obstacle long after he had passed them. On and on he labored, the thongs of his clogging snowshoes cut- ting cruelly into his feet. Hands and face had lost all feeling, and his eyelids drooped with icy fringes. Now a tree blocked his path and he must crawl through its tangled top falling repeatedly in the attempt. He was growing weaker or he would have noticed that the savage gusts which buried him in a smother of blinding snow were growing less. Through rifts in the ragged clouds the moon shown, but to his straying mind he was now fighting some personified antagonist. In this ice crusted and savage man it would have been hard to recog- nize the one time urbane and polished society leader. “Damn you. you think you get me, but I'll show you. Blow, why don't you blow, I’m ready for you. I'll beat you yet.1' The black cloud shadows in the white snow seemed to his dis- torted vision horrible creatures in continuous pursuit. He dared not look behind for fear of seeing some gruesome object, and ahead stretched the spectral lines of trees. Time and again he fell only to climb laboriously to his feet. The wind had wholly died except for a faint sighing now and then among the trees. A few wisps of cloud drifted across the sky filled with stars glittering like bits of broken glass. A bitter cold settled over the wilderness. The man cast his ice bleared eyes despairingly ahead. The chill was fast gripping his body and he could not resist it. A wild blind fear of the silence filled him. 1 le fled weakly along the trail falling at last heavily. Yet in that second he caught sight of a tiny point of light ahead. Vigor flooded back, his mind cleared. It was the doctor's house he knew, and he also knew another thing. A man's hair might go gray in an hour of terrible peril, but for him in those hours of storm and dark his life had been changed utterly. A motive for action and endeavor, tossed into his hands by fate, had become a motive for work and achievement to dominate his whole future life, such to most men is only supplied by years of toil and strife. No longer was he a bubble or an eddy of life’s stream, and for that as he floundered up to the doctor’s door he Hungup his head and thanked God. Gardiner V. V.

The storm drummed continuously against the log walls of the cabin, and the dry swirl of the snow on the windows was incessant. Occasionally a gust, heavier than the rest,rising above the roaring monotone of the wind would whirl shriek- ing down the chimney and puff the smoke from the guttering flames far out into the room. “Mon Dieu, how dat tarn wind blow.” Pierre Leblanc gripped the black bowl of his pipe tighter and hitched his chair nearer the fire. Close beside him sat his wife her black hair flung in a loose braid down her back, and her foot rocking the cradle wherein lay their only child. “I nevair saw de like,” continued the man, his wizened face wrinkling anxiously, and cowering in his chair as the cabin trembled under the terrific gale. “She snow and snow for tree day, an dan she blow far two.” “Ahm hungry, Pierre,” his wife said simply. “Ahm too but, sacre dam,vat can we do. De wolves got our cow, de squirrels get in de meal, an now dis snow cover up all ma traps. Yestiddy I go far as de lake an can’t find one. An dem I mos get los cornin’ back.” “We nevair could reach de fort.” “Wat do den?” her tune was hopeless. “Ah tol you you should a give de mission more. It’s nevair good to stint Le Bon Dieu.” “Mabbe, but dat priest he dam bad man. Le Bon Dieu no get vat he take from us poor trappers.” “Pierre you should no say dot.” “But it’s true nevair—.” The door behind him trembled under a fierce scratching, and the man covertly crossed himself. “Wat dat? Lemme get ma gun Marie. No good ting come in night like dis.” The woman had snatched up her child and stood large eyed with terror before their tiny, rough hewn crucifix. In the shrieking medley of the storm came again an insistent scratching. In vain Pierre tried to peer out through a window. Crusted with ice without and hoarfrost within they were opaque. “Ah mus see,” he muttered and holding his gun ready cocked in one hand he carefully unbarred the door with the other. But he had not reckoned on the force of the storm. A terrific gust snatched the door from his clutch and flung it wide open. The snow piled against it swirled about his feet into the room. But he heeded neither this nor the icy chill of the storm. 162 Right on the threshhold stood a big, grey timber wolf, head stretched eagerly forward and his red tongue lolling hungrily out. Mis long hair was matted with ice, and in the light his panting breath rose frostily. Pierre’s ‘‘Mon Dieu,” and the muffled crash of his gun were almost simultaneous. For an instant the stinging powder smoke blinded him, but when he looked again the w lf was gone. The wind dropped for a moment and as the swirling circle of grey snow wreaths retreated he saw on their edge the wolf. In the seconds quiet with upflunghead it howled, a ghostly chuckling howl. Pierre slammed the door shut hastily. “You hain’t got us yet, but mabbe you will—later,” and he thought of the empty pork barrel. “Ah wish ah could h've got heem, Marie. Dev make good eating, Venn you hain’t got nutting else.” Long after the faint yellow glow had faded from the cabin win- dows the storm raged on, swirling whitely through the woods, crack- ing the wailing trees and heaping high the drifts. Not on man alone had the storm pressed heavily. All the life of the woods felt the grip of a relentless winter closing tighter and tighter upon it. And now as the icy wind whirled the flying snow through the woods a big buck crouched in the partial shelter of a balsam swamp. He was the last survivor of a head of ten. Early in the winter they had selected a good location, a hardwood ridge with thick birch growth sloping gently into the balsam swamp. Here they had made a good yard its paths running in and out to the best feeding places, the most sheltered covers. But then had come storm upon storm with this white terror upon them all. Their strength exhausted by a constant treading out of the paths and insufficient forage, one by one the herd had dwindled, the fallen being covered by the remorseless snow till only this one was left. Time and again he started up quivering, big ears upturned, thinking that he heard in the shriek of the wind the echo of a wolf’s howl, for he dumbly knew that he was unfit for the strain and terror of a chase. A white, glittering silence deathlike in its intensity. To Pierre standing in the door of his cabin it seemed a wonderfully peaceful world after the tumult and turmoil of the night before. But he well knew that peace, other than that of death, was far distant from this scene. A frozen, desolate wilderness with every atom of life it con- tained in fierce contest with the others for life. Nor was he a mere onlooker to this struggle. His interest was as keen and vital in it as any others, for already he, himself, felt the weakening effects of starva- tion, and from behind in the cabin came the cry of his hungry child. 163 “Doan be gone too long, Pierre. Ah danno, but some how alrm afraid. All’ll pray to le bon Virgin every minute till you come back.” “Nevair you fear, Marie. Ah know dees country well as any man. Dere ain’t goin’ to be no storm. Pretty soon you and Edward will hev all de ven’son you want. An large.” The woman stood for a long time, hand shading her eyes, watch- ing her husband striding swiftly away on his clacking snowshoes. She looked out on no land of plenty, with murmuring trees, and splash- ing streams, but a barren land whose trees cracked in the frost and whose streams were bound in ice. At last the penetrating chill drove her inside. Taking advantage of the clearing weather the big buck had managed to tread out a few paths and now stood eagerly munching birch tops. Suddenly he paused with upflung head, sniffing the air. His ear had caught a faint sound coming from somewheres near. Now with ear and eye he strove to find its cause. But the woods were silent, tenantless, the air untainted. Reluctantly he lowered his head. For a second only the spiteful report echoed in the vast spaces of the woods, but as the buck sprang away a stinging pain sapped the vigor from his muscles. Pierre Leblanc leaped from behind the round bole of a birch and eagerly scanned the trampled snow. Where the deer had plunged into the deep snow red patches of blood showed. Death to the deer, life for himself and family these patches meant. All day he had tramped the forests, wearied and down-hearted, with- out right of game. Now a fierce joy spurred him on. Gun ready in hand he leaped away in pursuit. There was no need of silence now and the clack, clack of his snowshoes rang through the woods. No deer bleeding like that could run far. And he was right. Already the buck was flagging and tiny flecks of blood discolored his distended nostrils. To his right lay another hill, before him a level brule. Out into this he plunged, wallowing through the snow, his legs catching in the debris of the burnt timbers. The blood was running faster now. Unconscious of all else Pierre's gaze was riveted on the trail. He did not see that a grey scud was filming over the cold blue sky, and a rising wind beginning to sigh through the trees. He knew he was gaining at every stride. Before his eye, dimming the blood stained trail, was a picture of the cabin, the light gleaming cheerily from the window, Marie cooking the venison with its luscious savor, and the restful pipe before the crackling fire. As lie burst forth from the woods, out in the open brule was his prey laboring heavily in full view. To kill, to sink his knife into the warm flesh. That primeval lust and famine spurred him on. 164 But the deer in his passage had uncovered a tangle of fallen spruce trees whose half burned branches forked out like spikes in all directions. With hunting knife half drawn, Pierre sprang forward over these. Somehow a snowshoe caught, he half recovered, and then pitched forward face downward on a branch, his gun flying for- ward almost to where the deer lay struggling weakly in the snow. For a moment the man’s body quivered horribly, then an ever broadening red stain spread from beneath him, and seeped slowly into the snow, mingling with the life blood of the deer. Across the grey air filled with scurrying snowflakes, there drifted the mournful howl of a wolf. Gardiner V. V. Littell. Note!

The following extracts are absolutely necessary in order to pass the course in Astronomy. They are to be pasted in the note-books and can be procured at the Dean’s office for a very nominal sum. Extract 1 It is earnestly hoped that the course in Astronomy be prolonged till June, as the study has impressed the class so that they desire to go deeper into this great subject. I speak for others, I know for certain, as well as for myself. (C + guaranteed if this extract is used.) Extract II The sublimcst of all sciences, astronomy, has made such a deep impression upon my mind that it is with the greatest regret that I am forced to forego the pleasure of continuing it. But—circumstances make it impossible for a more advanced course in this wonderful science to Vie open to me. So, as I close this book, I end the pursuit of one of the studies that 1 would that I could follow to the end, if end there be to such a noble work. (B + guaranteed, both in course and note-book, if this extract is used.) Extract III Words fail me when I attempt to put upon paper my inmost and heartfelt opinion of this delectable and exquisite science. Of excru- ciating interest and terrible fascination, one feels the deepest respect for the founders and promoters of this science. Only the Instructors’ able tongue can give rise to in my mind any conception of the vast expanses, deep hollows, awful mysteries, strange inhabitants and al isorbing problems of our heavens. I have hung upon his every word in the lectures and wish sincerely that I had the ability to place in this note-book every bright and brilliant pearl that has fallen from his lips. And if ever the time should come when I could be so for- tunate as to continue the science, I would sieze it without a moment’s hesitation, in spite of all else.

Vandals Break in House Gknhva, X V., Oct. 3, roo7. — Yester- day morning, a few moments past three, robber? broke into the home r� f Prof. Durfec on S. Main Street and carried away some priceless booty. They en- tered the house through a lower coal window and passing through the wine- cellar, reached the coal bin. Instead of taking the coal, as it should have been, they came across Prof. Durfecfs bicycle. This they dismantled, tearing off the less valuable adjuncts such as the coaster- break, reversible handle bars, pneumatic tires, and cushion saddle and casting these to one side, they carried the frame out into the street. There the miscre- ants attempted to break the frame up with axes but, as it. resisted their efforts, they resorted to dynamite. After four unsuccessful explosions, the robbers set off a charge that completely demolished the bicycle. The concussion accom- panying the explosion was terrific, so much so in fact that it caused William Spitt to swallow a chew in his sleep. This act of vandalism is to In greatly regretted by Prof. Durfec and his friends as the bicycle was thoroughly matured and of great use to the Professor. Its value was also greatly enhanced owing to the fact that it had been in the Durfec family for some 200 years. Thief Kane and a .score of Pinkerton detectives are hot upon the trail and it is hoped that the thieves, when caught, will be punished to the full extent of Faculty regulation No. 2S32. 169 Acknowledgments FOR LITERARY CONTRIBUTIONS A.

There is a popular, insis- tent, and widespread de- mand for teachers of the commercial branches who have had the advantages of college education and of professional training. The commercial depart- ments in high schools and colleges offer very congenial and remunerative positions for college graduates who have had this preparation. The Rochester Business Institute conducts a special department for training commercial teachers. Between June 1, 1907 and December 10, 1907, applications for commercial teachers were received by this school from Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Massa- chusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Mexico, Brazil, and India. For the most of these positions the college graduate can secure the special preparation required in six months. A copy of the syllabus of these courses, also a copy of the regular school prospectus and catalogue, will be mailed promptly to any address. Students preparing for this special course find themselves prepared for immediate service in the best business houses, should they decide to enter the field of business. The calls for our graduates exceed 1200 per year. Y. M. C. A. Building. Sept. 26—Bteder repairs it for him. Rochester, N. Y.
