But now, like Time, the wind comes on, And Fate will be the breeze. Our life may seem so toilsome, But we can make it fair If we but climb above ourselves, And watch with steady care. In the years of unknown future, May we find a pathway clear. And watch the mist of time lift up. And flowers there appear. -Lucy Hobson. 1 ' 54 i iiiiiiiiiiiii UlJJIia i llllllllll = i J 1 1 minDUTM cnnpu5 LEt HILL 55 THE BATTLE FlELD fefii NlNETEEN TWENTY- FIVE Miss Pearl M.

C. at Fredericksburg were assembled to hear the latest on the radio. Their president was tuning in, and suddenly a look of surprise filled their interested faces when they realized they were to be, as it were, introduced to some of the alumni. In a dusty corner in the Black Cat sat two of the old students, who had met by chance in the great metropolis. In a secluded cor- ner, seemingly entranced by the atmosphere of the village, sat Mrs. Charles Carlile, nee Kathryn Day, attired in the latest fashion, and with her sat Lady Hank, now a Connoisseur of Etiquette at Oaks Mere on the Hudson. Suddenly they were aroused from their stupor by the noise of music, and, on looking up, Mrs. Carlile beheld her former roommate, Mary Fromm, now the leading dancer for all charity benefits. Since Mary did not recognize her old friends, Mrs. Carlile called to her, and in a few moments the three were completely lost to their surroundings, so enveloped were they in the past. Guess the latest! cried Mary, I just met Cele and Mary McLaughlin, who told me they have gained success with dramatics and have started a school of their own! During the conversation the following wafted back to the home of the former students: Jesse Roberts and Aileen Bradshaw are giving all that school- girl complexion by masseuses and vanishing creams. Across the street, at Parisdennes, Electa Hanmer, Louise Lankford, and Hamner Dunkley are creating the latest in the femi- nine wardrobe. Dot Childress is the private secretary of Pierpont Morstan. Her assistants are Isabelle Lacy and India Diggs. For the same concern Eloise Brown, Lillian Vanlandingham, and Willie Booth are efficiently keeping the books. At old Fredericksburg, Ellen Fox is now treasurer and business manager at S. T. C. On my way here I stopped at the Carnegie Library in Pitts- burg, and guess whom I saw sitting at the main desk? said Kathryn. None other than Elizabeth Moore and her assistants, Kathleen Kessler and Alice Goldsworthy. 102 THE BATTLEF1ELD 11 NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE I went to the courthouse in Philadelphia last week to get inside information on the case of the late Henry W. Smithson, who is get- ting a divorce from his wife, formerly Estelle White, an old Song- Bird of S. T. C. I was amazed to see Bernice Loehr and Nancy Lewis, the prosecuting attorneys. Judge Hundley was presiding — and seemed to be much at ease. The other morning on the train I noticed in the paper an announcement of the wedding of Miss Louise Bracey to Mr. Jim . Among the guests were Mrs. Whitescott, nee Miss Dorothy Maney, and Misses Llry May and Grace Harper — who are still on the faculty list at Falmouth. I met Madolyn Carpenter this morning coming from the Uni- versity Club, where she had delivered an address on Better Train- ing for Children. She has opened a school at Quantico, being assisted by Hazel Stump. It is rumored that all the officers seem to have gone back to their childhood days. Oh! Mary, remember Bill Milbank? Well — I noticed in the American Magazine last night a charming story on Why I Fell for the Prince — by none other than she. The amusing illustrations were drawn by Marion Clarke. And Kat, said Dot, you can ' t imagine my surprise when I met two wealthy ranch owners — Tommy Fleming and Irene Long — who say there ' s no place like the Wild and Woolly West. They also said living on a ranch next to theirs is Lucille Alvis, Esther Campbell and Catherine Pitts. They are having great success in raising chickens. Passing through Lexington, I happened to see Agnes Curtis, Bet Morecock, and Velma MacNeal — used to be debutantes, now patronesses of the annual hops at V. M. I. Attending the same hop were Elizabeth May, Corday Mears, and Ruth Clark, who were still ladies-in-waiting for that All Fortunate Man. I never enjoyed anything so much as that Algy Field ' s Minstrels. The leading actors were our old-time friends, Mazie Amory, Bet Basset, Liz Crismond, Lucy Hobson, and Freeda Levy. At Columbia, still drinking of that Pierian Spring, are Pratt Bevan, Jessie Doughtie, Wanda Fox, Una MacAlexander, and Mary McKenney. Ruth Prebble is now head of the Commercial Depart- ment there. She has revised Gregg ' s Shorthand Manual, and now her edition is winning fame. Myrtle McGrath, obtaining experi- ence from the Little Red Lane, is flipping pancakes at Childs. 103 THE BATTLEFlELDj ggflfl NlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE Did you know Jessie Squire has just returned from the Olympics, bringing home the Laurels, as is her custom? On the same steamer were Gladys Beck, Council Headley, Copey Evans, Ruby Carlton, and Katherine Micks, who are making a sight-seeing tour of the world. The capable chaperone was Mrs. Preston Shelly, formerly Miss Lucy Billingsley. Oh, Dot, is it true that Mozelle Virts is Cann ' s assistant in the ticket office at R., F. P.? I can ' t imagine it, and to think Louisa Sharp is still selling tickets at the Pitt ' s Leader, which is now under the management of Eva Duncan, assisted by Ethel Godsey. Lucy Hearn and Grace Giannotti are now traveling secretaries for the Woolworth Company. Henrietta Dreifus is now holding down the important position of housewife, and, at odd times, gives special lessons in bookkeeping to Magruder Micks. It is true, in that same old historic town of Fredericksburg, the critic teachers for S. T. C. are the Misses Bess Motley, Louise Mot- ley, Mabel Simmons, Mabel Self, Lucy Ellen Kay, and Catherine Blanton. On the faculty the leading English teacher is Mildred Gwaltney, who hasn ' t forgotten the few handsome shieks of the town. At Sargeant now, the professors of physical education are Ruby Lee Blaydes, Rachel Chenault, Lena Johnson, and Lois Henry. At church last Sunday I heard an interesting lecture delivered by the Reverend Mildred Wiltshire. After the service I met Ethel Dunn, Maye Leath, Ruby Williams, and Florence Dickerson, who are canvassing the country with her in interest of China ' s welfare. Edna Lumpkin and Alma Hite are foreign missionaries. Did you ever think Mildred Chase would be a model? Well, she ' s helping Coles Philips advertise hole-proof hosiery. Marion Davis and Esther Chinn are running her a close second. I met Dorothy Chandler today, and she said she had fallen hope- lessly in Love. She also said she ' d just received a letter from Vir- ginia Branch, who has been elected Society Editor for the New port News Daily. Her assistants are Virginia Biscoe and Helen Frothingham. Miriam Carmel, Lena Hamburg, and Sadie Levinson are open- ing a Seaside Hotel at Virginia Beach. The first to accept their hospitality for the summer season were Roberta McKenney and Christine Maclntyre. Sarah Juren has just left for France, to open a special Com- mercial School. 104 THE BATTLEFIELD 6|j[5| NlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE The funniest thing I know, however, is that Verle Garner has started her Campaign for Governor of Virginia. Her campaign manager is Virginia Cathell, assisted by Doris Beard and Mrs. Ruth Cannaday. I heard Myrtice James has been elected Mayor of Detroit. Ap- plying to her for a public position is Allien Brooking and Grace Edmunds. I attended the races last month in Los Angeles. The autos driven by Elizabeth Harmon, B. V. Harwood, and Ocie Graham tied for the cup. This shows that old S. T. C. ' s speed. Yesterday I met Dolly Kidd, who is a medium; among her most interested patrons are Misses Mary Limerick and Olive Hall. My deahs, let me tell you — Charlotte Chappell has not forgot- ten her old Saturday hikes. She ' s walking those old rats at N. Y. U. once a week on bird walks thru Central Park — Miss Cause ' s only successor. Yesterday I bought a Victrola record entitled I Call Her My Keyhole ' Cause She ' s Something to A-Door, sung by Nell Pound. Grace Wyatt, Lou Milbank, and Mary Alice Spillman are making a trans-continental flight. The noted suffragist, Alice Wilkins, is in town. With her were Dot Weaver, Mary Young, and Edna Webb. Elsie Minor and Elsie Page are now interested in fireproof building and have come to N. Y. to get new data. Dr. Inez Parker has opened her new dental office today. She just came up on the ferry-boat that Susie Saunders is running. It seems Bonnie Tyler and Ruth Wornam are both applying for the position as nurse in the office. Isn ' t that strange? Elva Powers has just announced her engagement to Jack Hope- lesspoon. Ell Smith, Catherine Perry, and Mary Snyder are up in Alaska, having become owners of a wealthy gold mine. The moments flew swiftly, and as the three former classmates passed out of the doors it seemed as if they had rolled back the uni- verse and lived over the days of ' 25. So entranced were they by the conversation that a huge sight- seeing bus would have knocked them down had it not been for the capable traffic cop, Capt. Julia Ellison, at the corner of Tinkan Alley and One-Way Avenue. 105 THE BATTLEFIELD lif ipiNlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE MI3TDRY CinY-mnTHFin JUrimR-5EniDR RCCEPTlOh JUNIOR cms 5 HMmuREa fDLLIES BELL- HDP CHORUS JUMIDR TDLLIE5 THE BATTLEFlELD PlpI ' la iNlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE 5DPHDnDR[5 .

(Bei?trj the True Tale of Hoiv the Freshmen Got the Sophomore s Goat) ilNCE upon a time there was a goat. No. We ' re not speak- ing of goats in general, but a nice, white, fat, long-horned, long-haired, efficiently butting goat, which for the sake of euphony we will call Billie. Billie, the playmate of some dozen little pickaninnies, had been transported from his happy home m town to the Hill, where he was in seclusion, waiting until the appointed hour, 6 P. M., when he was to make his de-Butt in the dining- room, to be sponsored in his particular stunt by the Sophomores, who had planned to render long, loud, deafening, and, with one accord, the chal- lenge iiTi7 . w r? ; ) w He ve got the rresnmen s goat ! We ' ve got the Freshmen ' s goat! Any old team can get up steam, But we ' ve got the Freshmen ' s goat! However, from out the past, the same old story of plans, whether they be laid by mice or men — or Sophomores — was re-enacted. Due to various and sundry hints, observations, calculations, consulta- tions of horoscopes, and crystal gazings, the Freshmen knew something was up, and, with apologies to a still more illustrious Billie, they said, Who steals my goat, steals all. Then two Freshmen did some work that should go down in history with Lecoqu, Sherlock Holmes, and Hawkshaw, the detective. With stealthy steps, they silently slithered through the cellar. Nothing there. Then the barns were explored. Everything clear. Each tree was carefully noted and observed, to see if around its trunk was a rope that might be designed to hold a recalcitrant goat. At last, by the theory that 2 + 2 sometimes makes 5, and by the process of elimination, a plausible theory was reached. Away rushed the two conspirators, separating to avoid suspicion. When they met at Wallace ' s garage, they plunged THE BATTLEFlELDif IfilTTni ' iNlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE in hoping much, but expecting little. Hold and below, an immense white shape, with gleaming red eyes, fire-breathing mouth, and two incredibly long horns rose up before them ! Meeting an unknown goat in an unknown garage is not an everyday occurrence, and the two Freshmen made tracks out of the door in such a remarkable fashion that a streak of lightning would have looked like a slow-motion film in a movie in comparison. Finally they mustered up courage, grabbed the rope, anci led Billie through a crack in the door. Coming into possession of a goat so unexpectedly is a trifle bewilder- ing — even worse than having a white elephant on your hands. The ques- tion was — what could be done with him? Pictures of leading that goat through mud and snow, far away from all Sophomores and civilization, did not seem as attractive as they had expected. But as the Frosh wandered disconsolately with Billie toward the back door of the Faculty House, young Lochinvar drove up in a Ford truck, to deliver some groceries. With a yell of heart-felt relief, the girls and the goat jumped in, considerately giving Billie the seat of honor by the driver, while Kitty sat on the outside, and Muss vainly endeavored to cling to the back with one hand, and to hold a guano sack over Billie ' s head with the other, to prevent the dear thing from catching cold. After a muddy and hysterical ride down the plank road, they came at last to the entrance of a little lane, well known for two reasons. First, it is a short cut to the Little Store. Second, it is the muddiest place in the Old Dominion. In a distance of a hundred yards, there are five creeks, three hundred and seventy-nine mudholes, one hairpin curve emphasized by a precipice and a barb-wire fence. These statistics are warranted to be cor- rect. They come from first-hand knowledge. Besides, Venus hasn ' t a thing on that road for curves. About half-way down the lane, Billie was attacked by a sudden fit of nostalgia. He reared back on his hind legs, stuck his nose in the air, and bleated in heart-broken tones — Baa-aa-aaaa-aaa. Baa-aaaa-aaaaa-aa-a ! With sympathy in their voices and murder in their hearts, the girls paused to pet and console him with Nice Billie! Good old Billie! Come on, Billie! Ni-i-ice Billie! Billie reluctantly moved forward again, until they came to the largest creek, with a narrow plank across it. There Billie balked. As he saw it, no self-respecting goat would go across any- thing as precarious as that plank. So there they halted, the girls on one 115 THE BATTLEFlELD ,g 51 NlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE side, Billie on the other, with the taut rope and the narrow plank between. Finally the noble hearts of the girls were wrung with sympathy. Miss Moran is there to give us castor oil, but who ' ll tend to the goat? They, therefore, recrossed the bridge, picked Billie up, gently but firmly — Kitty holding up the front end, IVIuss the rear — and carried him safely across the raging flood. Billie repaid their efforts and self-sacrifice by giving them gentle little butts as they walked on. Since the horns of a goat are particularly designed by an all-seeing Proyidence for the pur- pose of defense, the Prods of those horns are not the most efficacious means of preserving silk hose intact. This also is first-hand knowledge. At last the hairpin curve hove into sight, and Billie ' s patience broke. He gave one stricken Baa-a-aa! turned and fled, but not in vain had the girls been given running in place twenty times. Ready — begin ! He was recaptured, and while Kitty held him, Muss ran up to the big road for help. She flagged a passing car, and the three began their adventures anew. The school was patrolled on all sides by desperate Sophomores, so they drove around it several times looking for an opening. The last time they picked up a Sophomore to help them, and made a dash for the side door of the dining-room, and after an excited cry of I tagged you, so you ' re my prisoner, the trio made their triumphal entry into the dining- room, to the tune of — We ' ve got the SOPHOMORE ' S goat! Ask Cele. It may be a bit unseemly for the following expose to be incorporated in this story, concerning the debit side of the Sophomores ' banking account, but, nevertheless : Grace Jernigan, in those few mad minutes of fast, furious, and hectic action, stopped long enough to snatch from the back porch two of the choicest bunches of celery, with whose tempting stalks and leaves she tickled Billie ' s nose, and fed Billie ' s mouth, thereby beguiling him, and keeping him from declaring to the public his whereabouts. Item: 2 Bunches Celery @ 2Sc $0.50 Please remit. Mrs. John Ruff, Dietitian.

And there, midst turmoil and strife and dread, Cover my soul, while I earn my bread For another week, till again I ' m free To go forth once more and God ' s face see.

THE B ATTLEFlELD gp 1 NlNE PiUj oattE:ale! NE clear January night three stealthy figures were seen coming slowly down the road. They were moving haltingly, for one of the trio didn ' t particularly care to go; indeed, several times he flatly refused to budge. He was none other than our hero, Billy, of the Goat family, while his friends (?) were the Misses Musselman and Hatchett. You see, Billy was a very intelligent animal, and he just knew that he was the Soph ' s goat; further- more, he was rather proud of such an honor. Suddenly he had a happy inspiration and decided upon the spot to make a wild dash for freedom (as all heroes do, sooner or later). So he dashed away, and his captors dashed after him. Fate was against him, for bearing down upon him appeared a two-eyed monster, alias Automobile, and out of this jumped two boys, who joined in the chase. That was a valiant fight, my readers, but I regret to say that, since he was one and they were four, he was again taken captive and put into the car. Suddenly several Sophs spied the car and bore down upon it; and then began the GREAT GOAT FIGHT that shall go down upon the pages of History in S. T. C. It was a good fight, though, and a very courageous one, even if there were just a few Sophs against the swarm of Freshmen. Finally the Sophs did recapture their goat, and as Billy had fought so heroically for his side, he was allowed to eat another crate of celery. Completing this satisfying task, he departed in peace, having cut his little niche in the Hall of Fame. Sophomore Goatee. ... . I. .1.1.1... ii.

The Sophs were as surprised as we, but poor things — they wanted it so badly. The sad, sad story repeated itself in singles, when Musselman and Harrison spent two afternoons trying to decide which should have the honors. Page won, but we don ' t care. We beat them all yelling, anyway. l5mtbaU We practiced baseball in gym classes until there wasn ' t a spot on the floor or the ceiling that we hadn ' t hit, and we had a good team, if we do say it ourselves. Our swipes at that ball would have done credit to Babe Ruth, and in the way of baseball, as in other things, we didn ' t let a thing get by us. So when the Sophs beat the Seniors, we prepared to beat or bubst. Say! That was some game! Hogan ' s twirls had them all rattled, and Gardner put them out on first like clockwork.

IBasbettiall The crisis of our athletic lives came in basketball. Everybody in the Freshman class came out for the team, and those who didn ' t make it were sports and remained to yell. In the first game with Sophs, we were so busy getting their goat that they turned around and got ours, to the tune of 31-26. The next night we nearly doubled their score, and the balconies almost came down on us when we won — 28-16. The tie was played off finally, and the Sophomores won, in spite of our efforts. We congratulate them, and we realize that, after all, it ' s not who won or lost, but how we played the game — and we did our best. 158 THE BATTLE F1ELD ?

Cele McLaughlix, ' 25. 171 THE BATTLEFIELD .? i NlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE 0ii Hutintia ' g Bis appointmcnt ISS LUCINDA was very busy. In fact, she had been busy quite two hours. She had baked a chicken, made biscuits, and she was now engaged in making a cake. As this was a rather difficult task, Miss Lucinda ' s face was careworn and tired. Perhaps you are wondering why she should be so careful with this particular cake. The reason is very simple. Miss Lucinda, being a strict and faithful church member, was, of course, obliged to invite the pastor to supper; and the fact that the pastor was a widower with no children and a good salary did not tend to decrease the lavishness of the good lady ' s preparation, though, of course, I do not mean to infer that this influenced her at all. Miss Lucinda finished the cake and set it away; she inspected the biscuits to see if they were brown enough, and glanced at the chicken. This done, she proceeded to lay the cloth. She loaded the table with her choicest silver and whitest china, and as soon as the chicken appeared to her practiced eye to be well done and good enough for even a minister, she placed it on the table. Then, after adding the other dishes which were to contribute to the good cheer of the meal, she inspected the cake. Find- ing it to be absolutely perfect, she sat down to wait for her visitor. All at once she jumped up. Well, I do declare, she exclaimed, if I haven ' t forgot to take off this apron, and my hair ain ' t combed, and I ain ' t got a speck of powder on my face ! She fled to her bedroom, dropping her apron as she ran. A few minutes later a buggy, drawn by a bony, long-necked horse, drew up to the gate; and there issued from the buggy no less a person than the Reverend Mr. Brown, of the Methodist Church. The Reverend Mr. Brown was very tall and thin; he wore a black suit and a tall silk hat. Some contended that he had inherited it from his great-grandfather, but of this I am not able to judge. At any rate, the Reverend Mr. Brown, accompanied by his hat, which he had removed when he got out of the buggy, either from respect for Miss Lucinda or a tender love for the hat. (I am not absolutely certain as to his nature, but I am inclined to the latter view.) Anyway, the Reverend Mr. Brown, having tied his horse, ascended the steps of Miss Lucinda ' s cottage with a very meek and saintly air. Miss Lucinda, having improved her appearance in every possible way, was wait- ing with visible signs of nervousness for her visitor. When she heard the Reverend Mr. Brown ' s step on the porch she hastened to open the door. 172 THE BATTLEFIELDJf .f!ifiril[W NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE Ah, good evening, Sister. How are you today? tlie minister in- quired with a low bow. I ' m feelin ' right well today, thank you. Brother Brown, returned Miss Lucinda. Step in. The minister complied, and, having succeeded in depriving him of his hat. Miss Lucinda led the way to the dining-room. The Reverend Mr. Brown, having noted with great pleasure that the chicken was very brown, and having rapidly inspected the silver and decided that it was genuine, condescended to take a seat at the head of the table and began carving the chicken. Miss Lucinda took the foot of the table and em- ployed her time in a very lengthy task, namely, that of passing the various dishes to the hungry minister, who ate with every appearance of enjoyment. When he had caused the greater part of the supper to disappear. Miss Lucinda arose from the table and went into the pantry to get the cake. As soon as she disappeared the Reverend Mr. Brown jumped up and in- spected the contents of the china closet and buffet. Then he hurried back to the table and, judging by the smile that lighted up his face, the contents must have been highly satisfactory. Yes, he murmured to himself, although of what he was speaking I will not attempt to guess. Yes, I ' m certainly going to ask her, and I ' m sure she ' ll agree, for nobody would refuse me. Just then Miss Lucinda appeared, flushed, but smiling, bearing the wonderful cake. Ah, Sister, observed Reverend Brown, with a very melancholy expression, you don ' t know what it is not to know the comforts of home. I remember when my late wife was living, the meals she used to cook! But them times is past, and I suppose it ' s no use hopin ' ? and he looked very meaningly at Miss Lucinda. That good lady showed such surprise (although it might have been joy) that she nearly dropped the cake. However, she managed to get the cake on the table. Well, I don ' t know, Brother Brown, she returned with a very sweet smile. You know you can always hope. The Reverend Mr. Brown was so overjoyed at this that he ate four slices of cake in succession before he spoke again. Well, Sister, he observed as soon as he swallowed the cake, I ' ve been thinking, as you ' re all alone and I ' m alone, that it would be — A sharp knock sounded at the door. Miss Lucinda, who had listened enraptured to the words of the Reverend Mr. Brown, hurried to the door with what in a less religious lady might have been termed a fit of anger, but, of course, in her case could not have been called more than a slight disappointment. She jerked open the door and confronted a small boy, who stood there clinging to a large flatiron. 173 THE BATTLEFIELD gplTl NlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE M-Miss Lucindy? he stammered, offering the iron to her, Mama s-s-sent your iron b-back, and she says th-thank you. All right, Jimmy, said Miss I.ucinda, having taken the iron, closed the door in his inquisitive face. Then, putting the iron down, she returned to her place at the table. What were you s-saying, Brother Brown? she inquired innocently. Well, Sister, I mean Miss Lucinda, Ah — Lucindy, I was a-saying ' that being ' s we was all alone in the wrold, we ought — ' Bang! Crash! Miss Lucinda in her excitement had clutched at the table and swept the dish containing the remains of the chicken into the floor, where it lay shattered in a dozen pieces! Ah, Sister! What an unfortunate accident! Allow me to assist you. And the distinguished pastor fell on his knees and commenced pick- ing up the pieces of china. When they had cleared away all evidences of the unfortunate accident the Reverend Mr. Brown once more resumed his seat. For some minutes he was so occupied with the cake that he did not attempt to make known his thoughts; but after fortifying himself with two slices of cake he commenced again. Well, Sister, as I was a-saying — he coughed and changed the posi- tion of his feet — as I was a-saying when — Yes? breathed Miss Lucinda. Footsteps sounded on the porch, a timid knock at the door. Come in ! Miss Lucinda ' s exasperation was so great that she could scarcely form the words. A small girl entered and edged up to her. Well, Alice? said Miss Lucinda, very kindly considering her dis- appointment. (Alice was the small daughter of the widow, Mrs. Lan- throp, who was a beloved neighbor of Miss Lucinda ' s.) The little girl spoke in a whisper that could have been heard ten feet away. Mama says if the preacher has finished eatin ' you could send her her silver ' cause she is a-gonna have company. Now at this point the patience of the long-suffering lady deserted her. She pushed Alice outside with much force and slammed the door. Up to this time the Reverend Mr. Brown was a very ardent wooer, but on discovering that the silver belonged, not to Miss Lucinda, but to Mrs. Lanthrop, he found his ardor to be cooling, and he decided that, after all, he was not quite ready to enter matrimony. Miss Lucinda came back to the table with a very red face. The Reverend Mr. Brown tried and finally succeeded in getting out of the very low chair in which he had been sitting. Well, he remarked, as I was a-saying (Miss Lucinda straight- ened up and hope beamed once more in her eye), I reckon I ' d better start home. It looks mighty like rain.

Brothah Portah, hearing his name and feehng that some recognition of the comment was expected, stretched to his full length, winked an eye, then unconcernedly resumed his nap in the sunniest corner of the sunnv woodshed. Amos whittled on in silence. A gay little breeze danced around to where the perturbed negro sat deep in thought. With the gay little breeze came odors of baking gingerbread. The look of anxiety on that darky ' s face gradually gave way to a grin which spread until it reached from ear to ear. Smacking his lips in anticipation and sniffing the air like a hound on the chase, Amos turned kitchenward. Before he reached his destination, however, he heard the squawking of hens in the vicinity of the Hower garden and Miss Lucy ' s angry voice. Nearer and nearer she came. Her presence roused him to action. O, Lawd, halp us. Miss Lucy am a-comin ' an yo ' knows her. Amos gathered all his strength for one mighty race and started for the flower garden. He cleared the fence at one leap and was upon the astonished chickens before they could escape. After he put them back into their coop he stopped for a season of resting. Amos often had seasons of resting. He was as trifling a negro as ever breathed; he toiled not, neither did he spin. Working only when he could not get out of it, sleeping at any hour and at any place that he could slip a nap, and eating everything that came within his range — he was the epitome of undesirable labor, with, so far as could be ascertained, only one redeeming characteristic — his amiable disposition, and that was too amiable at times. While Amos was resting his mind wandered back to the subject which occupied most of his thoughts — his joining the army, or, to be more exact, his not joining. To save his life, he could see no way out. The Judge had tried to appeal to his patriotism, but to no avail. W hy, Amos, you join the army, get you a new uniform, and the next thing you know it ' s ' Good-bve Timmonsville; Hello, France. ' Naw, suh, Jedge, Fse afearcu dat it ' s gwine ter be ' Good-bye, Tim- monsville; Hello, Saint Petah. ' Ah don ' t want ter be a-walkin ' no golden streets jest yet. Judge Talbert, knowing the coon as he did, was not worrying about Amos and his golden streets ! 181 IHE EFlELD . t NlNETEEN TWE Y-FIYE As he sat there meditating odors of gingerbread came most insistently to his nostrils — gingerbread such as only Amos ' espoused knew how to bake. He picked himself up and again started toward the kitchen. He passed the open library window and heard voices within. Lean- ing closer, he heard the Judge reading the paper to his daughter. The War Department today declared John Heyward unfit for any army service on account of partial blindness. IVIr. Heyward is one of Timmonsville ' s promising young men, and — Amos had heard enough. Light dawned in his eye. He scratched his head, gazed into space a moment, then proceeded with renewed energy around the corner of the house. As he neared the kitchen steps, he began to walk falteringly. He felt his way along the wall, fumbled at the back door and finally let himself into the presence of his mate, who, eyeing him with apparent indifference, continued her Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. He was the kind who had to be ignored. Woman ' s love is an elastic thing — it needs must stretch to cover a multitude of failings. Now, whether or not ' Liza ' s feeling toward her husband were of that nature, we cannot say. However, Amos thought so and took advantage of the situation. He groped his way toward the direction of the music. Whah is you, ' Liza? he asked in a quavering tone. Now, for Eliza to be asked where she was in broad daylight was something new. Her two hundred pounds were far from invisible. She placed her arms akimbo, looked at him steadily, and said in a voice whose meaning he could not mistake, What ' s de mattah wid you, niggah? Git outen heah an ' git me some coal. ' Wha ' s de bucket, honey? I can ' t see it. You can ' t see it? Why, it ' s a-settin ' right dar undah yo nose. And she pointed an emphatic finger. Honey, don ' talk lak dat to yo ' ole man; he ' s blind, honey. He cain ' t see. And his voice trembled convincingly. His tale of affliction fell on deaf ears. Yas, I knows it, she answered sarcastically, blind from settin ' in de sun all mawnin ' while I ' se in heah a-makin ' yo ' livin ' . I needs dat coal. Hit ' s most time fob dinnah, and Miss Lucy ' ll be mad. Yas ' m, dat ' s so. I ' se done had one encounterment wid Miss Lucy dls mawnin ' and she all but tuk de wool fum ma haid. Amos ' eyes wandered to the serving table. There before him was that gingerbread. For the moment he forgot the part he had chosen to 182 THE BATTLEFlELD f aSWil NlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE play, and he put out his hand to claim it for his own. His wife, seeing the movement, said in surprised tones, Why, I sees dat youse got yo ' eyesight back. Naw ' m, I ain ' t, honey. I kin see a lil bit out ob de left eye. I tol ' you all de time dat Ah could see outen de lef eye. Ah, Lawd, an to think dat I waz gitten ready to jine de ahmy to fight fu ma ' Liza an to fight fuh ma country. And he lamented right earnestly. O, Lawd, Fse scairt dey won ' t let me in if Fse blind. O, Lawd, O, Lawd. ' Liza melted somewhat. Ah don ' t know, honey, dey ' s ' xaminin ' dem today. Mistah Doctah Abel is. Yo ' go down dis aftahnoon. The undertaker would have been welcomed by Amos. Nevertheless, he went to the hall where the examinations were being made. When his turn came he was stationed several feet away from a chart and asked to read. His sight most conveniently deserted him, and he swore that he could not see. Hats and pencils were being held up with no better results. Why, Boss, you-all ain ' t a-holdin ' nuttin ' up, is you? I cain ' t see nuttin ' . The examiners were wise. They had dealt with just such as Amos before, so they passed him on. When that gentleman of color received notice to proceed to Army Service he was so dumbfounded that for once words failed him. His ruse was not as clever as he had thought. Within the week he made his debut at camp. Well, while there was life, there was hope — and he was still able to think. Days passed. One morning a lieutenant of the company, known as the Dark Cloud, in conversation with the captain, asked if he had noticed a dark, loose-jointed darky who went around with the air of Diogenes — not look- ing for an honest man, but for something which he seemed to have lost; picking up every piece of paper he saw, examining it, throwing it down, over and over again, day after day. Even as they talked down the company street came their man, pick- ing up papers, throwing them down, shaking his head and muttering, Naw, dat ain ' t it. Maybe dis is. Naw, it ain ' t. They agreed that he was a dangerous character to have around, so they sentenced him to the guard house. Days lengthened into weeks and brought no change. When he was released from the guard house he resumed his search as before. 183 T E D p | feNll E W FIYE Application was made for his discharge. Certainly a crazy negro was not an asset to any army. When the necessary procedure had been made Amos was summoned to the captain ' s office. According to his cus- tom, he picked up a paper from the desk, examined it on both sides, and, shaking his head sadly, said, Naw, suh, dat ain ' t it. The captain handed him his discharge and leaned back relieved. Amos looked at it carefully, then, nodding his head emphatically, exclaimed, Yas, suh, dis heah am it. Hit ' s jest what I ' se been a-lookin ' fuh. Yas, suh, thank ye, suh! and walked out. The captain looked at the lieutenant. The lieutenant looked at the captain. Well, I ' ll be — said the captain. And so will I, echoed the lieutenant.

And never give a thought to one thing even, While you go on to zcork ivithout the bunch; If you can dress to make yourself attractive. Yet crave not every style you see displayed; Enjoy the love of dancing, yet not too active. For by those who dance the piper must be paid; If you can study and not make studies your master, Take tiotes and read them after hours have flotvn; If you can meet with Pass or Flunk, which spell disaster. And treat those two impost ers as your oicn; If you can master Teaching, English, and Pr. of Ed., And not acquire as well a prudish look, But stick while all others from them have fled, And get your A put down in a little red book; If you can take a half of your allowance And spend it on your best friends here and there. And then get a bid to his best dance And find there isn ' t enough for taxi fare; If you can wait for the one important letter. Yet stand to see those letters but none for you, But resolve ne ' er to be a quitter, For tomorrow may bring you two; If you can talk with profs, and watch your grammar, Or walk with high lites, nor lose the tiormal touch; If neither girls nor loving mates can hurt you; If all girls count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the passing school day With twenty hours ' worth of S. T. C. routine — Yours is Fredericksburg and everything that ' s in it; And — which is more — you ' ll be a sport, my mate! Tai.ley and Levinson. 185 £ IJ i£L ' W ' ' ' TWENTY-FIVE Jf atuUj l omance NE Rainey day, a Young city guy named Lewis Tyner was seen riding up to the Hamlet in his big Chandler car. The car stopped at the village store and out he jumped, wear- ing several Coates to keep off the dampness. Into the store he dashed, and while he was purchasing a box of Norris candy, he was conscious of the suspicious glances of the Hicks who were Jess Up from the country. On coming out of the store, because of the dense Hayes caused by the rain, he got into a Willis-Knight instead of his own car. Immediately there arose such cries as Hold that man ! Get the Car, Michael In a short time, however, everything was settled, and he was allowed to go on his Ruff way to the Garrison, just outside the village, where his bride- to-be awaited him. Arriving there, he found the bridal party in a turmoil, for, unfor- tunately, his fiancee had torn her Lacey gown. But the best man, Daniel Boje, was ingenious, as all Frenchmen are, so he called to one of her attendants and said, Go look under the lilac Bush, Nell, and bring me that package of Gauze I saw there today. Soon, through his cleverness, the dress was patched, and his heroine rode to the Chappell, where they became the same as one ! On their honeymoon they chanced upon the big Clark Brothers Circus, and as they were taking in everything that came their way, they tried this. In one of the big side shows they saw the great Jerrell Curry and his fiery steed. Wandering farther on, they saw a certain lady by the name of Moran giving Eppes-som salts to the monkeys, and to destroy the bad taste she was adding Wm-Berger cheese to the dose. They also took a thrilling ride on the Ferris wheel, and, looking down among the crowd, they recognized none other than the Misses Huey, Holman, Summy and Maakestad, who were seemingly having the time of their lives. But stay! We must not intrude upon their Honeymoon any longer. Our tale is told. Parke Anderson. THE BATTLEF1ELD .

She was none other than Miss Anne Murray. Being an immaculate creature, she required her daily bath, and there is where my story comes in ! The Powers-that-be, being in an amiable mood, soon fashioned in Monroe Building a bathing structure, especially made for her majesty, and my, how she enjoyed her daily immersion! All went well until one hot day! Then it was that Miss Frances Abbitt, a rather diminutive creature, longed for a bath. She longed and longed, but alas ! All the tubs in Francis Willard were occu- pied. So Miss Murray heroically offered her tub ! Miss Abbitt then gaily tripped over to Monroe Hall, but alas ! When she saw the huge expanse of water she screamed out, Oh, my! horrors! I can ' t swim! Why, the water ' s way over my head! What am I to do? Suddenly she was visited by a happy thought ! (Mark it down, readers!) She took her towel and, filling it with air, made a pair of water wings and dived in! Since then Anne Murray ' s tub has been known as the Swimming Pool!
