Editor in Chief SOLON POTTER TARBOX, Business Manager FOREWORD. In compiling this volume of the J. H. S. Annual it has been our endeavor to truthlully reflect on all phases of High School life. It is the belief of the Editors that this Annual should be a book that contains a picture of High School; a book that fairly glows with the spirit of our Alma Mater; a book by which traditions may be preserved; a book whose pages the Seniors of 1915 may peruse with fond memories, recalling to them the joys and sorrows of these years. If we have not attained this endeavor, look kindly on our faults, and attribute our failure to our inability rather than our insincerity of purpose. Appreciation of this Annual lies in your approval, hence we ask your lenient criticism—Proceed. J. L JlNDERSON. A. B., B. S. In Chnroe of Public Schools. JEN SINGS. «=« LOUISIANA. AMY B. HUTTS. A.

Always be late for class: it is very stimulating for Miss Miller. 2. In removing stoppers from bottles always leave them upon the desk; it is good for the stoppers and adds much to ihe beauty and cleanliness of the desk itself. 3. Use as much of the chemicals as possible, especially the expensive ones, as it gives an air of beauty and nonchalance to the laboratory. 4. Never replace bottles; searching for them in odd places lends an air of excitement and variety to laboratory life; it might also aid in developing some Sherlock Holmes No 2. 5. Always pour water on acid—see the pretty splash. 6. Always throw lighted matches in waste paper baskets, the results are very illuminating. 7. Do not measure with accuracy; do it with a dash, especially in those parts marked “Caution,” it make things interesting. 8. Break as many thing as possible; “We rise on the wrecks of our former selves. 9. Always jump at conclusions; Miss Miller loves an illogical mind. 10 Never study an assignment, it makes the lesson much more interesting and aids in the development of the mind through observation. 11. Never think for yourself and never remember rules, as it interferes with Prof. Anderson’s valuable advice served alter exams. 12. Never report to Miss Miller when told to do so, she expects to lx able to take out her “grudges” upon the seniors. The class of 1915 has a history among histories. To say it is likened unto the History of the north and south, would not be satire, but only to record again the enmity that existed between these two factions; yea, even to record many of the bitter conflicts of these two sections, for the fields adjoining the famous south-side building have received many a scar from some cleat shod north-sider trying to carry the“pigskin” to victory over the stalwart south-siders; but, “ ‘tis an ill wind that blows nobody good,” and these instances of enmity have only made it possible for the north-siders to appreciate the value of having such spirited students join their ranks, working hand in hand for a mutual cause—a better and livelier school. The history of the class of 1915 began one memorable morning when six little feet toddled slowly but surely over the space separating them from their respective tal ernacles of learning; Edna, Clarence and John, destined to represent the south-side, and Elgie, Merlyn and Solon from the north-side. Little did the teachers think that when they looked into our frightened and pale faces that ‘ time” was to make us Seniors among Seniors. Two years rolled by; we had escaped the failure that awaits all at the end of each term, only to have our ranks strengthened by Clara in the second grade. Time and success worked hand in hand for two more years to find that when thisclass entered upon their fifty grade year they were again reinforced by another student,namely, Leon; in the sixth grade came Marie; in the seventh, Mabel and Lester; in the eighth, Wilbur and Byron; in the ninth came nothing but girls, girls,girls, Ruth, Elgie, May Bell and Maggie, and in the tenth more girls, Lula, Leslie and Amy; but in the eleventh the boys scored, for Ray and Errol joined our class. The eleventh year was a tragic year for the class, for Lee McVey had heard the call of the Siren Missouri, and could not resist the impulse to desert our ranks, much to the consternation of the Editor in Chief of the High School Annual. The class of 1915 leaves no monuments to record their existence, other than numerous knife scarred desks, but their memory will always be a shaft to commemorate their success as a class; to be sure, we have not always been studious and industrious; spring fever, circus day, swimming time, and all of the other luring representations have caused us many absent marks; even a debate with the class of ’14 so enthused us that we resorted to truancy to unable us to better prepare ourselves for the clash with this class. It has always been accepted that Prof. Anderson won in the argument, for many a sad faced Junior and Senior remained seated at the tolling of the dismissal bell to give Miss Hutts the pleasure ot their company, and to repay this time taken fruitlessly by us. The laws of custom have not held us as they did other classes; we have been different; we have succeeded; the class of ’15 has accomplished that which only two classes before us have accomplished, the publication of an “Annual,” and which no other class, if the Annual Staff is correct, will ever be able to do. That and that alone, is the only concrete object that we leave as a proof of our greatness—outside of many broken test tubes and much used English books. Remember Juniors, antagonize not Miss Hutts. Impose not on Prof. Anderson, and fail not to report to Miss Miller and Mrs. Wise, for their wrath will be upon you, and who knows better than we what that is. But I have been dreaming; it all seems like a wierd nightmare, and yet, I am sorry it is all over; many are my regrets, for it seems so hard to part forever with that which we have learned to love and to cherish.

SENIOR CLASS SONG (TO TUNC OF TIPPERARY,) We're the biggest class that ever finished at this school, Twenty-two of us more girls than boys, as is the rule— We had a jolly time, but now, alas, we guess— The time has come to bid good bye to dear old J.

CHORUS: Our high school-days we're leaving— And good times we've had— To say it—fills us with grieving Each senior lass and lad— Good bye, faithful teachers Farewell, now to you— It is hard, hard work to be a senior And we’re glad we’re through. School days, just like life, are made of shadows mixed with sun — Our years in school have very very pleasant been— Teachers all were good to us and we’ve had lots of fun— But now we’re ready grown up ways and duties to begin— 9 KNOCK DOWN-’ TO THE CLASS OF 1915 WHO'S WHO AND WHY?

As wc. the Juniors of 1915, Arc asked to give the history of former days, l.et us turn from the present happy screen Aud back on the records of the splendid past, gaze. Of course we nil had to be Freshies green To be laughed at atid teased about the blunders wc made. But we, for knowledge, like Cassius, very lean. By those “Sophies were not left long in the shade It was in that first year of High School life We learned our Prof s kindness and generosity. For when we wanted to rest, beiug tired of the strife, Wc would to him, with the pitiful request, lice. Miss Miller taught us the sciences drear. In those horrid subject wc saw our doom; As for Arithmetic, wc did not fear; English—our delight—a tea party each afternoon. But those horrid Frcshie days quickly passed— Much toour delight aud joy you may know wc became learned Sophmores at last, What we knew to the 'Freshies to soon show. In Latin, though it was pretty hard, we did fine: In Algebra, wc learned all about A and U; In Englished, Miss Hutta still drilled each mind, In Ancient History, no starlights were we Then come the year bv far the very best Of all the three years of High School life gone by. Our Juuior year, with victories always blessed. We trace without the aign of a tear or a sigh. In Geometry, none were the circles we couldn't draw; Caesar’s life ill Gallic War by heart we knew; We read Latin and French without a flaw. And never, never will we forget 1492 In debating. Mercie was onr stand-by; She even put a Senior down—finel And James’ oration, so great—Mvl On in the steps of Demosthenes he'll climb. At Christmas we lost Mis Spiller so dear. But Mr. Woolard took her place at that same date; He made us all to tremble aud to fear. And kept u« in if we were a little “bit late. Iu basket-lull, Phil and Bart brought us fame; In all athletics our boy did fine, too; Our girls played Elton a close game; But ‘twa in the quartette they showed what they could do. In spelling, that is where we all did shine. Each one deserving honorable mention; We were the envy of our friends so kind, Even attracting the state's attention. Our Physic reports were spotless and clean, Without even a stain or inky spot; But low? up in a corner what was seen? Only a tiny round for-get-me-uot.“ Four silver medals did our renouned class get At the field-meet, in an honest manner; They were awarded to Mercie, George, James aud Bartlett, And’ Margaret I.ee helped to win the banner. But altogether as a class in whole Wc are the finest class in old J. H S. yet; I'm going to say it, though some friend turns cold, We now have the highest record. I “bet.” We’ve stuck together through thick and thin, Always the pride of our instructors dear; May bur Senior cai be as bright us the past ha been. A glorious, successful, happy year. FRANCKS GILL.

Only yesterday we, a large important body, entered the gate of learning labeled “Freshmen,”—irreverant tho’ that title be. All through our year of “freshness” we went, little dreaming of the pitfalls and cunning schemes mapped out for us by the “lords of creation” —Seniors. Indeed, we felt that after having completed this year of our education we could get along, if need be, without the remaining three years necessary to complete the course. But no, when at last we were allowed the rights of Sophomores, gone were all the thoughts of leaving—we knew too little. We then realized as never before the fact that we were a mere atom in the world of education. We felt that we must go on and on; there was so much to learn and so little time to learn it in. Ancient History was once our stumbling block, notwithstanding Shirley's attempts to better its standing. English we liked, and were ably supported by the ever reliant Margaret, Glada and Jessie. Then not only intellectually did we wish to shine; good times were in store and with an occasional cordial invitation from Miss Hutts to partake of “tea”after the others had gone; (I recommend it highly; she certainly knows the right brand) the time passed quickly and pleasantly.. Then there was Mrs. Wise; her cry for the Homans will always be remembered and appreciated, I’m sure. What if we were the means of driving Miss Spiller to matrimony and Miss Miller to tears. I hardly know which is worse. As a whole we got throught very safely and creditably, and in the next two years when we, the class of ’17 embark upon the sea of life we shall have this motto for a reminder, “launched but not anchored.” lev Rupert. w DON'TS FOR FRESHMEN. Don’t chew gum in school for it make all the rest want some. Don't run across the floor for vour brain makes more noise than a first grade pencil box. Don’t stand too near the teacher, for such a gaudy queen is hard on the eyes. Don’t try to cut classes for you are not sharp enough. Don’t cut drawing for the teachers are “wise.” Don’t talk aloud in the halls for every one grows tired of such childish prattle. Don’t spend too much time with the encyclopaedia. It shows you are easy. Don’t have the big head because you are in the high school. Your brain has room enough as it is. Don’t think that you are it just because you are mama’s darling. HISTORY OF THE J. BASKET BALL TEAM. H. S. assesses To enumerate in a great many words the history of the Jennings High School Basket Ball Team would be useless. To be sure it was not uselessly and fruitlessly organized, for many study laden pupils derived much pleasure, as well as good, from a few hours of this splendid recreation; and again, it rebuilt a spirit for athletics and a loyalty to our Alma Mater. The team was organized by several of the Seniors. Alton Fontenot was chosen Captain and John Tilbury Manager. With the co-operation of the boys in the team these Seniors made the year a very successful one along finacial, as well as other lines. Prof. A. O. Woolard coached the t oys in the later part of the season and developed a strong team, the results of which are shown by the score card.

The history of the Jennings High School Athletics for the year 1015 is no glowing enumeration of some gigantic achievement by a member of the student body, but is a repository of accounts containing within itself an expression of loyalty to our alma mater. We have never contended and never will that athletics should be a part of regular school routine, though it is generally accepted that many benefits are to be derived from this source by the student body. As physical development aids materially the mental, hence this endorsement. Though Jennings did not win first place in the Jefferson Davis Parish Annual Field Meet, she does feel that the loss of a few medals is anything to regret, but with the knowledge that she is scoring first place in intellectual development, is more gratifying to the school, and we trust more appreciable by the public. We would not have you think that the J. H. S. takes no part in athletics, for a mere glance backward and will find One All-Southern Champion, Hammond, besides numerous other championships. But what has this profited her, if anything? and it is with little regret that the J. H. S. resigns the 1915 athletic honors to other sections. J. Alfrrd Tilbury. WORLD PEACE (by jambs caffall) FIRST PRIZE ORATION AT JEFFERSON DAVIS PARISH SCHOOL MEET. MERICA'S opportunity was never plainer than it is today; she can, if she will, ring the bells of peace for the wide world. Millions are longing to hear them; all are tired of war. No greater help could b extended to warring nations, than to lead them, and others, to the bar of the international peace tribunal. This is America’s opportune mission. Conditions and the consensus of opinion reveal tQ us that in a state of barbarism, people delighted in war; in a state of high intellectuality, arbitration is unquestionably preferable. At present the horrors of war, and its evil consequences are more indelibly stamped upon the minds of our people than ever before, and higher civilization denounces every phase of war. The ingrain of our natures rebels at it, and as a last resort only do we welcome a call to arms. Hence, today we long for peace unending peace—at home and abroad. Will that ever be? International arbitration might have been an impossibility once, but not now. Times have changed and are still changing, to keep peace with civilization. Great revolutions have left us wiser. For what does our boasted civilization stand if today we still fight as though every elbow neighbor was a barbarian foe threatening to take away our life blood. There was a time when battle-axes were the only effective safe-guards. If now it is impossible to get beyond the primitive methods of dealing with our fellowmen, our intelligence, our training, our education, and our religion is to be questioned. I9 it consistent that individuals must settle their differences at the courts of their peers, while the collective individuals, the nations, must forever resort to primitive methods? Our intelligence suffers at the thought. Since we are no longer a primitive people, and no longer barbarous; since we are intelligent, reasoning beings who have formulated a plan of government that has lived with mutual interchange of interests for over a century and a quarter without a hostile act or attitude, are we not convinced that nations can be induced to do the srme? International arbitration is not only possible and practicable, but it is now the beacon-light towards which the most powerful minds of the age are directing their energies. It is already an acknowledged success, for not less than three hundred controversies between civilized powers have been adjusted by arbitration within the past century. And more than that every international dispute thus settled has remained settled, while some of the results of wars of the same time have not. People not conquered in mind are still unconquered. Thus experience teaches that arbitration is not only the most humane way of settling differences between civilized peoples, but also the most certain method of furnishing enduring results. The list of evidences of the future establishment of an international tribunal of peace are all about us: First, the statesmanship of the civilized nations is grappling with this problem, not of whether there shall be a tribunal, but just how to formulate an enduring plan; working at it just as our forefathers did when their minds found a way to bind in harmony the thirteen colonies. These colonies were not one in sentiment, in nationality, in political interests, in religious ideas, nor one in financial interests; but as they had a common cause, they found a plan to live in harmony, and to unite for resistance against injustices. Another assurance of this tribunal establishment is in the fact that there is a national exhaustion of the war-like spirit; fighting stocks are well-nigh exterminated, and we are wise enough now to know that war tends to produce a survival of the unfittest, for the best, the strongest, are fed to the war god. Truly, we are away from the idea that dying for one’s country is the noblest, the most heroic part. Living for one's country is productive of the greatest possibilities, and is often the hardest lot. Not only has the warlike spirit waned, but its natural reaction has developed the anti-military spirit. The Quakers took their stand against fighting, and won their cause. Tolstoy’s writings against warfare have found manv a warm sympathizer, and now the anti-militarists, in the nameof justice and human fraternity, are taking a stand for humanity's cause refusing to fight against their fellow-men. This anti-military movement is rapidly reaching a stage when it will be easily able, even unaided, to paralize any war, immediately and automatically. Again, the overgrowth of armaments is fast rendering the questing of abolition of war acute. The climax, the crisis, is inevitable. Extremes always bring the reverse swinging of the pendulum. Over inflation, insures collapse. Hence, the overgrowth of armaments is a favorable sign. Further, the {rowing dominance of social reform is a strong factor in deciding public opinion against strong armaments, demanding that money so expended be used to provide for the higher well-being of a country’s citizens. The unjust proportion of money thus expended is rapidly becoming intolerable. Beside these, the conditions at present are so widely different from those of ancient, and mediaeval times that it will never again be so easy to get men to feed to the god of war. Then people were led without questioning; now, we ask for intelligent reasons for giving over our boys as targets for men across the line. With the present daily press, and other aids for immediate communication, public sentiment now is not slow to grasp situations; and this growing power of enlightened public opinion throughout the world is a factor which no nation, however powerful, will in the future find it convenient to despise. This same public opinion with reference to warfare and all that pertains to it is fast becoming an international conscience, rebelling, and once that grand and powerful public sentiment takes its stand for an international peace tribunal—and its coming—all the kings on earth could not make war. When the ideas and hearts of a people are for a cause, a principle, it is folly for political parties, kings, or popes, to decree otherwise. When the minds of the people were with the pope, Henry IV was brought in sack- cloth and ashes to pray for forgiveness; when later the people were with Luther in the same country, the pope lost. When the people demanded protestantism in England, it was forthcoming and likewise the cause of Catholicism. When the American mind said, “Enough of England’s tyranny,” its doom was sealed; so today, since the whole world is praying for peace that shall never end, and because of this readiness, this demand of the many, king must dream of other glory. International peace plans must come. I thrill with pride in the hope that our country may take the initiative and lead the way to a better international understanding of how to live in peace with one another. This tribunal is not a roseate illusion. Twenty-five nations have already expressed their readiness to enter into a peace movement. Of course the perfecting of this undertaking, of designing a practical plan, truly binding, is difficult. Great things are not so easy. It took many efforts for a number of years to get the Constitution of the United States; it took strenuous efforts to make secure the great Charter of England. “Christ,” even,” bought the keys of paradise “By Cruel Bleeding”. This golden hope for the reign of peace lies not only in the hands of the statesmen of the the world, but at our own door. We must individually shoulder a responsibility. p5 1 That responsibility is the grasping and planting of correct his country’s and the world’s peace—that true glory is in ideas, education in its broadest sense. Education which peace, not war; and stamp indelibly upon every mind that will increase our knowledge of and contact with our fellow- war for the offensive of any nation should be declared by citizens of the earth; education which will give to every per- the people only, and not by kings, potentates, or even son the international mind.

CONCORD HYMN {Sung at the completion of the battle monument April 19. 1836 ) By the rude brige that arched the Hood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled; Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world. The foe long since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror silent sleeps; And time the ruined, bridge has swept Down the dark stream which seaward creeps. On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set today a votive stone; That memory may their deed redeem, When, like our sires, our sons have gone. Spirit, that made the heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee. R. W. Emerson. Uth GRADE CLASS EXERCISE Criticism on The Concord ffpmn The Concord Hymn was written by Emerson in commemoration of the first battle of the American Revolution. This poem is called a Hymn because of its sacredness. It is sacred to all Americans on account of its reference to the bravery of their dead forefathers. The figure of speech, And fired the shot heard round the world,” gives to us an idea of the great courage of the Americans who resisted England, and of the worldwide importance of the battle’s significance. The poem is appropriately arranged; the first stanza is the introduction, the second and third stanzas are the body, and the fourth, a prayer, is the conclusion. The picture words are well chosen. In the first two verses of the introduction we clearly see the picture; the words rude, arched, and flood, are fitting; for the bridges then were rudely constructed, and the month of April is the time for floods. These lines also tell us the place where the battle was fought. The next two verses add to the picture. On this rude bridge we see “embattled farmers,” with their flag waving in the breeze, while the “dark stream seaward creeps,” give vivid conceptions of the scene. The body tells the story of the battle; how the enemy was surprised, and of the Americans winning the victory. It also tells that this battle was fought some years before the poem was written. One of the most musical lines in the poem is the first line in the third stanza; “on this green bank” and “by this soft stream,” are melodious phrases. The conclusion is a praise to the men who fought this battle, so that their children might be free. It is also a prayer to the Spirit to— Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee.” The inspiration of the poet had a lasting effect on the Americans, for all who read it can see the sincerity of the writer, and they see the bravery and courage of their ancestors who fought that the American people might be free. To be able to express one’s thoughts so beautifully is the most durable memorial; stone monuments, temples and pyramids may fade and crumble, but language lives—a greater monument. The sweet simplicity of rythm and thought, combined with the motive, the inspiration, and the lofty ideal of Emerson in this poem gives a high appreciation of him as a poet. Clarence Cotton. TENTH GRADE CLASS EXERCISE. A CONTRAST CHARACTER STUDY About forty years before the birth of Christ when the wide-flung authority of Rome was felt and heeded by almost the entire known world, the Roman empire was startled by the murder of her most renowned general,the triumvirate, Julius Caesar. In forming this conspiracy and murdering Caesar the two leaders, Brutus and Cassius, made themselves notorious. By merely reading it is hard to conceive of the noble, self-sacrificing patriotism which prompted Brutus in this astounding crime, although the flaunting ambition and vice of Cassius is easily perceived. However, William Shakespeare, the famous English playwright, has immortalized Brutus as the hero of his historical drama, “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. In this drama Shakes-pear has thrown a new and vivid light upon the characters of the two leading men, Cassius and Brutus. Their characters, although without any seeming effort or care, are discriminated with the greatest subtlety and depth of art, hardly a word falling from either of them but what reveals some of their definite traits of character. In the beginning of the play, Brutus’ life is portrayed as being most noble, high, and stainless; but beginning with his entry into the conspiracy against Julius Caesar, his public career is a series of practical mistakes. Unlike Cassius he did not err intentionally, but through noble, though mistaken aims. According to the play, “Julius Csesar,” Brutus entered the conspiracy and partook in the murder of Caisar“ to save the Republic,’’while Cassius was led on merely by his consuming personal ambition. Thus, at the beginning of his stage public career Brutus displayed his serious lack of understanding in practical affairs and in people. He did not understand people because his standards of morality and integrity were personified in his own person, and he measured other people by himself, or in other words, by what they ought to l e, rather than by what they were. In this the greatest contrast between Cassius and Brutus can be found. Cassius studied people as they were, but Brutus was content to understand them as they ought to have been, and must needs act as if they were what he would have had them, entirely disregarding practicalities. Because of this he misjudged Cassius and also made a fatal mistake in his estimation of Antony. While Brutus was a theorizer and idealists with no eye to the actual bearing of facts, Cassius possessed all the practical gifts, insight and tact necessary for the successful completion of the conspiracy. But the moral power of Brutus had in it something magesterial, and so he was able to oversway the better judgment of Cassius in both private and political matters, and thereby lead himself and Cassius on to their doom. For instance, when Brutus attempted to advise Cassius in military conditions he was wrong because he had not the prudence and foresight necessary to a successful general, or stateman, but he was able to oversway the practical judgment of Cassius, nevertheless. Through the entire play Brutus allowed intellectual doctrines and moral ideas to rule his life. Probably he was the better man because of this, but he was not the better conspirator; Cassius was the better conspirator since he was one of the worse men of his times. Brutus did not take into consideration the actual bearing of facts, and hence, erred. On the other hand Cassius erred wilfully. However, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and so it proved in this case. They suffered defeat, and as they were both practitioners of Stoicism, each died by his own sword, a noble deed in those times. The memory of Brutus will always live, and he will always remain “the noblest Homan of them all,” as Antony name him. Camilla Hunter. NINTH GRADE CLASS EXERCISES, Comparison of Bassanio to Fortune Hunters of Today. W- From the beginning of time life has been a gamble, and man, the player, who wins or loses according to fate. The same spirit that moved Bassanio to seek wealth, enhanced with the beauty and grace of a woman, is in evidence today. Do not men from foreign shores come to America and woo our wealthy and interesting belles, thinking meanwhile of sundry unpaid bills and desired luxuries, causing the young lady’s money to outshine the lustre of her eyes? Bassanio would have married Portia exactly as he did even though fortune were not kind enough to have caused their love, but are we going to censure this knight of Shakespeare’s romantic day any more harshly than those of today, who though of the twentieth century, commit the same offense? No, for in comparing the two, there is no choice; or if indeed there be any, it should fall to Bassanio, for part of his action was prompted by love. PORTIA'S INTELLECTUALITY. ;sees Intellectually, Portia, in the “’Merchant of Venice,” was on a much higher plane than that of her male associates. Never so brightly did her personality and learning beam up before us as in the court-room, where intermixed with her knowlege of the laws of Venice her (woman) cunning gained point after point in Antonio’s defense. Speaking strictly from an intellectual standpoint she had no equal and one could scarcely over-look this fact from her most trival conversation. Had Portia lived in this day and time I feel quite sure that she would take a prominent part in the drama of Nation wide interest, Woman Suffrage.” Icy Rupert. EIGHTH GRADE CLASS EXERCISE A REPRODUCTION OF ENOCH ARDEN'S HOME COMING. After ten or eleven years of absence from his family “Enoch Arden” came home. It was a bright but chilly afternoon in the late Autumn; the trees were beginning to lose their leaves of brown and gold, and from somewhere a robin was piping a dreary note. Down the long and winding street he went to the little home he had built for his wife and three babes, but finding the house empty and deserted, except for a “Bill of Sale” tacked upon the door, he retraced his faltering steps back to the wharf, looking for an old tavern kept by a widow, Marian Lane. He found the place without much difficulty and there he tried to rest and keep quiet for many days. Marian Lane was very talkative, though very kind hearted, and good woman, and as Enoch had changed greatlj' in looks and ways, she nor any one else in the port knew him. She often told him about the affairs of the people that had lived and did live in the port; about himself, his going away to sea, his baby’s death, his wife and two children almost starving, and Philip Ray’s coming back; the sending of the children to school, Philip’s seemingly almost hopeless wooing, and of Annie’s final slow consent and their marriage; and at last about the little child that was born to them. Through it all Enoch sat perfectly calm and seemingly unconcerned. But one can imagine the raging tumult within as she spoke of Enoch being cast away and lost, and he only shook his gray head, whispered pitifully to himself, “Lost! Lost I” Enoch Arden felt as though he must see Annie’s face just once more and to know that she was happy, and then he expected to go away and never to let her know he was still alive—if she was not happy—? And so at the close of a dull day in November he started forth. Philip’s house was the last one facing the street. Here a small latice gate opened onto a path made of coarse gravel; on the side, a cluster of ancient ever-greens and a new tree which grew by a window. He avoided the walk and crept up by the window and this is what he saw: He beheld a scene of domestic content and so he decided I rather than to break up their happy home he would crucify his own happiness. So he sneaked away like a thief in the night lest he should cry out or make some noise that would betray his presence, and when he was out of “ear-shot” he threw himself upon the ground and prayed as he had never prayed before, for God to give him grace to give up his wife and children to another. He finally arose and retraced his steps back to his lodging place, although it was hard. Enoch knew in his secret heart that he had done what was right in the sight of God, and that alone, kept him from being entirely unhappy. He so longed to let Annie know how much he really did love her that he took courage to ask Marian Lane if the Miller's wife of whom she had been telling him had any fear of her first husband's return some day, and Marian answered and said: “if any one could tell her that Enoch was dead it would comfort her greatly.” Then Enoch decided he would wait God’s own good time, and after he was gone, let Marian Lane tell her all. Enoch scorned to live by alms and he went to work at anything he could do to make an honest living. And as he was working for himself alone, with nothing to look forward to in this but just a mere living, he gradually grew weaker and weaker as the days, weeks, and months rolled around to the first anniversary of his return. Then Enoch realized only too well that he had but a few more days in which to live, and he was glad, because he would soon be at rest with his little babe in heaven, and then they could let Annie know that he had loved her to the last. So he called Marian Lane to his bedside and told her that he had a secret, and made her swear with her hands upon the Holy Bible that she would not tell it to any man or living being until after his death. Marian tried to laugh him to scorn at the idea of his going to die, but Enoch was firm, and would not tell the secret until she promised with an everlasting promise that she would not tell. And then he asked her if she remembered Enoch Arden of this town, and she answered, “Do I know Enoch Arden of this town? I knew him as tar as I could see him, holding his head high as though he cared for no man.” “And now his head is low,” answered Enoch, “and no man cares for him, for I am Enoch Arden.” Marian was so surprised at first she could not utter a word; but finally said, “Surely you are not Enoch Arden for he was at least a head taller than you.” And then Enoch told her of his voyage, the wreck, his being cast away on an island, his hard-ships, grief and loneliness, and about his coming back, only to find Annie the wife of another, and of his resolve not to ruin their happiness. And then Enoch told her all of this had bowed him down to what he now was. He showed her the little lock of hair that Annie had clipped from his baby’s head when he started forth on his last voyage. He requested Marian to give it to Annie after his death, so that she would know that he was Enoch. Marian Lane could hardly resist the temptation to rush forth and proclaim the story to every one she met, but she was promise bound, so of course she could not. She begged Enoch to let her bring the children to see him before he died. At first he almost yielded to the temptation, but after a second thought, as they had never known him, he decided it would only bring sadness to them all. He told Marian to tell his wife and each of his children that he died blessing and praying for them, and even Philip, too, because he knew Philip meant them nothing but good. He told Marian if the children wanted to come and see him after he was dead, to let them come, but not to let Annie come because he wanted her to remember him as he was in his vigorous manhood. A few’ nights after this as Enoch was sleeping peacefully and Marian Lane was watching and dozing at intervals, there suddenly arose a great storm. All at once Enoch awoke and sprang up in bed with arms outstretched crying, “A sail 1 A sail 1 I am saved,” and dropped back in peace at last. Now’ Marian Lane was at liberty to tell the story of this strong, unselfish soul. The inhabitants of the port were so moved that they vied with each other in showing deep respect to one who possessed a heart so brave and true. And the result was the most gorgeous funeral that was ever known in the port. Ena Hammond. JOTS’ FROM SCHOOL PAPERS I like Irving because of his ability to tell funny antidotes.—Ruth Burgins.
