the lawyers to a tall, plump woman with a gracious smile beside whom is standing a man—also plump but not tall. Of course these latter could be no one but our dear old Gladys O. and —?—. They are receiving the guests of their dinner party in their beautiful home near Chicago. Now 1 am witnessing a scene on a street corner of a large city. Adolph Christensen, a prominent political leader is talking to another man of high standing in political circles. He seems a very eloquent speaker for he waves his arms, shakes his fist under his companions nose, and draws a small pad from his pocket demonstrating statistics; but the quarrel cannot be settled with words so the two resort to blows. Curtis Hunt now appears on the scene. He is dressed in a blue uniform with brass buttons down the front and a star on his chest. His chin was set in a more determined way t,han ever and his sharp eyes seem to see everything He soon sees what the trouble is, separates the two, and escorts them to the police station for disturbing the peace. Now, in the place of the busy street there appears a wide and greatly disturbed ocean. In the ocean there is a ship which seems about to be swallowed by the angry waves, and the rocky coasts are near; but at the helm, there stands a man who is equal to the emergency. Kennison Hewitt, the pilot, is giving orders in a calm and collected manner and we know that the ship will be saved if it is in the power of man to save it. The pictures are gradually fading, but the crystal globe has one more scene to reveal. There is a large ampitheater in front of which is a large stage, brilliantly lighted. A small girl dressed in light blue tights with pretty silver frills about her waist is performing on the high trapeze at the center of the stage. She is a very active little body and her audience is very enthusiastic over her performances. Of course any one would know this person to be the Ruby Mohr of our class. The picture, crystal globe, and all, have faded; and 1 sit alone in my apartment. The clock points to seven which is time to go to work and I must leave my dreams and visions to take up the role which life has presented to me. —C. F. L. Russell asked to name 5 words and define: Receiver—Rent Collector. Loud Speaker—Pa, when ma bought a new dress. Earth—What a golfer hits instead of ball. Ohm—Best place in cold weather. Buzzer—The political candidate. Prof.— Your answer is as clear as mud.” Hazel— Well, that covers the ground doesn't it?
