For some years they had been struggling to reach this possession, and once attained, the other members of the confederation were brought under subjec- tion. Not without some defeats, however, for, tho of undaunted spirit, the number of fighting forces available was not sufiicient to cope with the hordes poured against them by their unruly neighbors. Precedent it was, I suppose, as much as superiority, that won and held for that worthy fifty its place in the history of the land in which they dwelt. Theirs had been a gradual rise and upon the retirement of the tribe in power they had quite naturally stepped into the place. The dynasty was not lasting, however, and after a brief supremacy this tribe, having, as it were, attained the object of their desires in that land, gave over their leadership to a new people which had been developing under their tutelage. This done, the fifty dispersed to assume the government and guidance of the many tribes who dwelt in the borders of this cultured land. One of the fifty, Ca presuming fellow, as many thought him at that time, but whom I hope they have since come to look upon as a true benefactorj in whose hands were placed the historical writings of the tribe, endeavored to secure a Writing from each member to preserve as a legacy. These tablets were discovered in a fair state of preserva- tion and with a few exceptions, we reproduce them as they were written. if Tk Ik PII Ik Dk Ik Ik

GE1eJRGE B. KENDAI.l,. .al 1Vhat shall I write? I don't want to have any of my wise sayings put in print where every one may read them. But ah, me! these Index men! It is only eight days a week that I am told, Now, you write an editorial, or we-'ll write a 'daisy' for you. IDAISY A. SKINNER. 19 It may be true that there are some people in Southern Illinois who say i'dea and right smart but, my dear friends, don't smile when Egypt is mentioned just because others do. Of course we do not have glacial drift and our corn rows are not so long as in Central Illinois. but our hillsides produce fine clover, wheat and apples. 1Vith all due respect to th1- young men of the senior class, I should like to add Cthis is for the girlsj, that the young men of Southern Illinois are by no means a minus quantity. 13ER'l'RUDE O. SXVAIN. To those I leave in the 1, S. N. U. I-Sll'lCC the Index editors have given us a chance to say what we please. I'll proceed to give some advice. My advice is to the girls, and is, that you join the Girls' Glee Club if you can, even if it is necessary for you to drop a study, for you can have a good time. even tho' you do have to work hard. Above all things else in your singing you should consider the matter of volume, for if you 1lon'1 have Y-O-L-L'-KI-lf, your harmonized voices and inelody amount to naught in the opinion of our P11-s11l1-111. 111.1113 Po1.1,o1'K.
