An Ahnenturr By Peter Jensen, 314 One hot day in July a man was slowly riding over the prairies of Nebraska. It had been a hot summer and the grass which was waist high, was very dry. The man had been riding all day, and being tired, he did not notice the cloud of smoke advancing from the south. ! The smoke was caused by a great prairie fire, which was now about three miles wide, and was driven before a heavy wind with great rapidity. The man, thinking it about time to stop for the night, drew rein by a small spring. As he was watering his horse, he looked around and saw a sight which horrihed him. The great fire was burning its way toward where he was now standing; and he knew that soon it would be upon him. Hastily throwing all the baggage from his horse, he mounted and began his race for life. He knew, that if he could reach the Platte river, about ten miles to the north, he would be safe. For a time he held his own with the fire, but the speed began to 1ell on his horse, and he saw that the fire was steadily gaining on him. When he had covered half the distance to the river, 'the fire was nearer'than before, and he saw that the race would be close. He rode on, at last he could see the dark outline of the trees along the bank of the river. The great wave of fire was now close upon'him; he could feel the heat, and was almost choked by the smoke; Suddenly his horse, which had been ridden all day, fell to the ground, killed by the awful run he had made. Unloosening himself from the stirrups, the man struggled on through the smoke. The heat became intense; his clothes were burning and the smoke was so denSe that he could not see three feet ahead of him. He was now out of breath and felt that further struggle was useless. Just ashe was about to sink down exhausted, he felt soft mud under his feet and the next moment he was in the water and safe.

the family, and all were sorry when she moved to Idaho. She and Marguerite are very easily amused and When they once get started to laughing, it is impossible for them to stop. I regret to say that Claud Goodlin, Chester Harpole and Eddie Neaves have left our happy circle. 'A few of the grade pupils are present, but they never join in our activities. We have a fine joke on them. One day there was a car load of junk going through town and a brakey told the boys that it was the remains of the battleship Maine on its way to the Panama Exposition at San Fran- cisco. They believed this and began to carry off large. pieces of iron for souvenirs. One day, when Fritzie forgot her dinner, Carey proved his sympathetic nature by trying to persuade someone to divide with her. In a day or two, he said he had won a bet on a basketball game, in which Fritzie had starred, but he refused to divide the gainings With her. We never have any quarrels; everything is a joke with us. On arriving in the basement, the conversation is generally opened by someoneis asking, How are the Folks ?i, llThe Folksii are a great point of interest with all. Boyce' is forbidden to converse about a ltThe Folks? under penalty of Carey exposing a joke about Fritzie. All subjects then are open for discussion. llCaesaris Gallic W'arsi, receives proper mention. A11 social functions are discussed. The Presidential candidates form a very convient topic. We some- times forget and talk about Rick,s wrestling qualities in the presence of Katie. Many of the girls carry their dinner to school in paper sacks. This is not to avoid washing a dinner bucket, but so that the girls can have the sacks to throw at the waste paper basket. This is done for practice in basketball. Fritzie and Katie are the stars. All this and more go to make up our program. I take it for granted that you know, that we are all busy eating our dinner. Of all the places I know of there is none that I love better than our dear old basement with its happy faces and laughter. :xlnoon time spent in the basement would certainly drive away the ues. s. .. w!
