Words can be all to striving soul Either to help or retard from its goal, Or to cast a light on a wanderer's .track Who has little of hope and little to reck. Some words like a two-edged sword may fall To wound and deaden the lives of all, Others may come as a mother's prayer Or the vesper song on the evening air. There are words that bring sorrow, anguish and pain, We ever regret, but repeat them again, Some that we utter, like the sun-kissed dew, Are brim full of radiance and tenderness too. The world would be brighter and sweeter by far Than our fondest dreams of the heavens are, If only in speech we were thoughtful and kind And remember that words can brighten the mind. May time only hasten and bring in the day When words that are hurtful pass ever away And only soul-lifting words we'll impart To gladden and uplift the downcast heart, Tliiltif T. MCM

Each wore the characteristic attire of the traditional tramp. After a generous course of sherbet had been served each tramp was out- fitted with two or three mysterious looking sacks. At the order of the chief each took unto himself another for a partner and the annual Tramp had begun in earnest. The leaders wandered around town for a time and a stop was made at Pike's corner where each girl was presented with a leaf which bore upon it the name of the partner for the next heat. At Gray 's corner another halt was made and each received a generous allowance of candy confections. Another change of partners occurred at Hutchisonls where pickles held the prominent position on the menu. Forward march was the signal until the power house was reached where another halt was made and the tramps divided in two lines on either side of the car tracks. The girls were stationed in line with respect to height on one side of the track and the boys stationed on the other side in reverse order. The arrangement produced several queerly matched couples and much amusement on the part of the rest. The company proceeded through the chautauqua park and halted at the south side from where Green and Repp were despatched to meet the freshmen returning on the 9 o'clock from the football game with Marshalltown high school. Camp was struck just west of the power house. Here, after playing games and partaking of the handouts which the mysterious sacks disclosed, an interesting toast program was given around a rousing camp fire. - To.xsT PROGRAM Toastmaster, TOMLINSON. Partners, Bnssm Rieos. The J aunt, AUSTIN REPP. The Feed, RUTH STEELE. The Finish, THOMAS TMCTXIILLAN. After the above program the company sang songs and told stories and at about 11 130 the tramps departed in squads of two for Toledo. The consensus of opinion was that this was the best tramp ever held in the history of the two societies. -Record. eras

Miss Grose has had charge of the work and her genuine interest and enthusiasm combined with her skill and training have made the class a success. On November second the class gave a rehearsal of the fundamental drills, this was appreciated by an interested audience and showed skill with only a few weeks' training. The receipts were used to purchase an equipment of dumb bells and Indian clubs with which to continue work of a more complicated nature. Practices have been held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon through- out the year, ending with the May Day drills which are now taking place of the exercises. This training, besides meaning much to the girls, will insure a higher class entertainment for the pageant and make it a success. '
