Can Honor ' s voice provoke the silent dust. Or flattery soothe the dull, cold ear of Death: Realizing thai flowers placed on the casket have no power to waft their fragrance over the days that are gone, to brighten the sleeper ' s past, cheer his disembodied spirit, and make after-life brighter and happier, we, bouyant with youth and hope, have decided to break our alabaster box of love and esteem at the feet of one who is worthy of all the honor we may pay him. at a time when he is still living, and while his heart can be thrilled by our admiration. Nearly two-score years ago was created the first school of industrial education in Mississippi. At that time our State was just beginning to recover from a war of desolation, followed by a reign of despotism that is unparalleled hi American history. I ut the Mississippi Legislature caught a vision of greater things in store for our dear old State, through industrial advancement, and established the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College at Starkville. A few of our people misunderstood its mission, and the fires of opposition burned with increasing intensity. One prominent politician boasted that he would tear down the college and give the bricks to farmers to use in making chimneys. To guard against such fanaticism, the immortal Senator George placed a provision in the organic law of our commonwealth, the Constitution of 1890, making it incumbent upon the legislature to provide for the maintenance and support of the Agricultural and Mechanical College. Since that time the hand of Fate has dealt kindly with this institution, and it has waxed strong and mighty. It seems fitting to us, then, that this volume of The Reveille should be dedicated to a man under whose guidance the institution has made the greatest strides. In 1900, when President Hardy was placed in charge of this institution, its total valuation was only $300,000. Last December a board of appraisers, com- posed of legislators, estimated the property al more than $1,000, 000. Our enrollment has grown from 300 to more than 1,000. The esteem in which this College is held by our sister institutions and by educational author ities is another gratifying result of A. M. expansion. The Tinted States Commis- 10 sioner of Agriculture, Dr. Knapp, places the Mississippi A. M. in the forefront of Southern industrial schools. President Taft, on his recent trip through the South, took occasion to commend the work done at this College. To say that these things are the result of chance, or of natural growth, is hardly to give credit to whom credit is due. Nothing great or good was ever accomplished without unremitting, self-sacrificing toil. Certainly, then, we must owe some- thing of our present standing in the educational world to the ceaseless efforts of our President, With a broader vision than ever before, he is now working to make the influence of our College felt in every corner of our beloved State. Pie will never be content until the curse of ignorance, which is blighting our country, is lifted, and until Mississippi assumes that place in the agricultural life of the nation which Nature intended she should occupy — the Garden Spot of America. Yes, the A. M. glories in her past — her Lees, her Stones, her Montgomeries and her Georges — and with hopeful, expectant eye she turns to the future. She stands today on the threshold of a wider existence. In the voiceless suppli- cation of a mother ' s love she beseeches you, her sons, to forget not your duty. Before her stretches a vista of growth, and progress, and usefulness, such as will lead to a realization of her fondest desires. Feeble as is our vision of the future, yet strengthened by the fire of love, we have caught a glimpse of what is in store for our Alma Mater. We believe in her future as we honor and respect her past. Hoping that in these pages each reader may find cause for a greater reverence for the A. M. of long ago, and a greater ambition for the A. M. of the future, we dedicate this volume to the man whom we believe will change these intangible dreams into living, breathing actualities. PI. B. Sanders, Editor-in-Chief The ' JO Reveille.  i Our First President. GENERAL STEPHEN 1). LEI-]. LL.l).. President Mississippi Agricultural nml Mechanical Colleye, April 1. 1880, to Maij 1, 1899. The bravest are the tenderest, Tlic loving aii ' the daring. As ;i soldier, the author of this brief sketch served under the late Lieutenant-Genera] Stephen 1). Lee the last year of the Civil War, and as a member of his faculty and as his next-door neighbor was intimately associated with him for sixteen years. In war and in peace, our first President was found, in every crisis of life, a great man — great in nobility of character thai faces duty, that rights in the open with hard blows, that is magnanimous to a defeated foe, that holds no vengeful malice against the foe who is successful. There is no finer model after which the young men of Mississippi can fashion their lives; for he was a great leader, a stanch friend, a just enemy, a generous neighbor, a loving father, a tender husband — a noble gentleman.

Died March 28, 1909, in Mobile, Ala. 30 ALVIN CARL ADAMS, Union, Miss. Industrial Education. I ' ri rate. Born twenty-four years ago at Java, Neshoba county. Finding that the universe did not pause in its career, he grew older. Alvin first entered our College in November, 1005, and should have graduated with the class of 1009. Unfortunately, circum- stances were such that he could not return at the beginning of Ins Junior year. In the fall of 1008 he again returned to school, entering our class, and has been a loyal, enthusiastic and popular member ever since. One of the hardest working men in our class, and one (hat will make his mark some day. It is the wish of the writer that the world may soon recognize Adams ' sterling qualities of honest worth that have endeared Mm to us, and that nothing may be too good for him. Alvin was treasure]- for the Dialectic Literary Society, first term ' 07- ' l)S; member of the Magruder Debating Society, and A y M. College Teachers ' club. An honest man ' s the noblest work ' of God. ELBERT MARTIN ALDERMAN, Brookhaven, Miss. Agriculture. Captain Company I. E. -M., belter known to the boys as Red, came to us from Lincoln county. This man was a Prep, therefore feels like a veteran among us. Red is a reserved and model young man. To a stranger he may seem to be a quiet, sedate sort of a fellow, but his sterling worth has won for him many Mends among the faculty ami students. He loves the girls, but has not yet become entangled in the well of Cupid, tor he believes that a man tan be married many times and a bachelor but once. lie has made a good Captain, and the Preps are proud of him. V. M. C. A.; Agricultural Club, Normal Club and Educa- tional Club. A proper man as any one shall see in a summer ' s day. •M HAL ANDERSON, Tupelo, Miss. Industrial Education. Second Lieutenant Company I. This is Hal, just ■•Hal — llw I is nil. lie never was known to be called anything else. The brevity of his name doesn ' t indicate anything, for lie is one of our long, lanky hn. (h,as. and leads his class— when taken in alphabetical order. We haven ' t time to go into his military record. He expects to In. a teacher. Works in a postoffic ' casionally, si, he will be prepared to serve as postmaster-general when Lottie Cothern gets to be president. Treasurer Philotechnie Literary Society, third term ' nS- ' ()9; V.

Electrical Engineering. First Lieutenant Company E. At became a member of our class in our Sophomore year, and he claims that he hailed from God ' s country. He is anxious in get his dip so that he can inter into the en- gineering branches of the government service. lie is a ladies ' man, no doubt; has a girl, anyway — but this side of his nature has not been allowed to dominate since he entered college. He stands high in all his classroom work, which is a sure sign of his future success, but is no bookworm, and is we,! liked by his classmates. lie was parliamentarian for Hie M. A. S. E.. first term ' 09- ' 10; member of the Sabre Company, Khi Klux Khan, and president of the Chickasaw County Club, ' 09- ' 10. Though learned, well-bred; and though well-bred, sincere. 32 JOSEPH HENRY BARRIER, Yazoo City, Miss. Civil and Mining Engineering. Private. Nuts hails from quaint old Yazoo City. He joined our band in the session of ' 07- ' OS, and soon became a leader in all the wild pranks that are proverbially characteristic of the Sophomores. In Nuts we have found an optimistic, kind- hearted buy who makes friends as easily as he swipes squir- rels. He heartily approves (?) of all military rules and is so enamored of the life that lie intends to try for West Point Military Academy. Has always taken a considerable interest in athletics, and would have rushed some one for the big team, but was handicapped by being too light. Also has been interested in the fair sex up-town.

Yet such is fate. o Colonel! how many Seniors hast thou caused to listen to the mournful notes of Same, not marching to breakfast ?

The subject of this sketch was first ushered into existence at the small (own of Lodi (pronounced Low-dee ), in Mont- gomery county, on April 13th, 1890. We think their must have been an earthquake on that day, caused by his first violent attempts to drop-kick this old terrestrial hall over the sun. Whether lie began that early or not. it is certain that lie has since developed into an excellent football player, being one of the swiftest and headiest little quarter-backs in the South. He finished at the Winona High School in 1907 and joined us as a Sophomore, and has a good record as student, in spite of the attractions of football and the girls.

Major First Battalion. The Major says that his first claim to greatness is that he was burn at Pickens. For sixteen years he drew out there his bucolic existence until, sad to relate, he heard the spieling of Professor Critz, and there awoke within him the ambition to go and do likewisi — with what success, judge by the lienors that have been showered upon him. The way he played on his class team during the championship game is a matter of history. Social success has been his also.

Earl, better known to the professors as Mr. Bra-sier, is another one of the Chirk county products. He is a true sport, and spends his leisure hours curling his hair and entertaining the skirts. He is a noted orator, and has made many high- flown speeches, for which he received distinguished honors. The goal of his ambition is to retire to some Hesperidian nook, in company with the object of his adoration, and there to pursue, in ineffable bliss, the bright and shining paths of scientific agriculture. He is a military genius (?).

Major Second Battalion. This blithe and debonair youth was thrust upon the unsus- pecting residents of our capital city on the morning of February 17th. 1889, but, fearing that something would happen to their little jewel, he was sent to Wren, Miss., for safe- keeping. Here he increased in knowledge and stature until September 15th. luilll. when lie entered the A. M. College. He came here with the intention of winning every honor that was dangled before him. How well lie has succeeded can lie judged fnun a glance at his attainments, given at the end of this article. His hobby is using sesquipedalian verbiage. He once electrified the Literary Society by exclaim- ing that his opponent ' s arguments were prolix and obviously unsound, ami not within the premises of the syllogism. We wish that space was available to go into his heart-smashing record — which is, indeed, an enviable one. Despite all this, he has managed to be one of the leaders of his class from Freshman year, through Senior, and his popularity with his classmates is attested by the number of high offices that in him.

Peter the Dane originated down about the coast and walked out beneath the scorching sun on April 20, 1891.

One day while sitting on his native river bank he saw the tip of an alligator ' s snout just above the water and by observing it closely calculated the whole alligator ' s weight within one-seven-hundredths of an ounce.

' s ■ r ; J Senior Class History Nineteen hundred and ten has at last arrived, and with it has come our last year at A. M. Strenuous years these four have been, but the reward is not Call off; long and tiresome has been the race, but the goal is ;it last in sight, and the much coveted and once far off sheepskin is almost within our grasp. What on i- several diplomas will signify depends upon the individual to a ureal extent. Shall we go away feel- ing that they are worth to us only their intrinsic value, or that we have not come about them honestly? No! (and I am sure fully half a hundred would an- swer the same). All that are now in the Senior Class feel that their diplomas will lie worth infinitely more to them than its mere money value. Far better than this, they will know that what they shall Ljet will lie the reward of honest toil. We have no intellectual giants in our class, no gifted writers or horn poets, far fewer are our scientists or mathematicians. What we have learned has cost, in many cases, consider- able effort and much hard study. It has been worth the effort, and we now have the satisfaction of looking back over our records and knowing that in them is the fruit of no little study. September, 1906 saw the beginning of our career- that is, the most of the class ; some of us started earlier. Two hundred strong, we to ok the College by storm, allowing no line of activities to pass us. In all stu- dent organizations we were well represented. In Y. M. C. A. work, literary societies and athletics members of our class took an active part. This session passed quietly by; our football team saw no defeat, and in other athletics we were equally successful. At the close of the session, although our number had been greatly diminished, we were determined to come back and make our second year even more successful than the first. 64 The fall of 1907 saw a smaller but wiser looking bunch of young fellows roll into old A. M. Greetings were exchanged, old times talked of, and it was not long before we were again hard at work. Difficult problems confronted us this year, but they were finally mastered, and we came out once more on top. Football this year was even better than before. Although we were not cham- pions, five of our men — more than any other class furnished — were chosen for the All Class team. Several men from our ranks helped to sustain the name of A. M. in the football world and to make this a successful year for us. Thus, another year passed, witli few failures and many successes, and we enter into ' ' Juniordom. ' ' The opening day of the session of ' 08- ' 09 saw barely half of our original number back at school. What we lacked in numbers, however, was made up for by achievements of those who were here. The captain of the ' 08 football team was a Junior. Several men on the ' Varsity team were Juniors, and the Scrub team was composed almost entirely of members of the same class. In class football the Juniors made a record of which we were justly proud. In spite of the fact that many of our best men were not allowed to play on account of having played Scrub ball, the Junior team enjoyed a triumph which will be hard to duplicate by any class team. Their goal line was never crossed during the entire season, while eighty-five points were piled up against their opponents. Two-thirds of the men on the All Class team were Juniors. Not only in football were the Juniors successful, but in baseball as well. In fact, we were the champion athletes of the College. Nor was it in athletics alone that the name Junior was synonymous with victory; their representatives at commencement stirred the souls of all who heard them in the Alumni debate. We are now Seniors. What a step it has been from ' 06 to ' 10, but we have stepped it safely. The responsibilities of the Senior Class have rested lightly, but safely, on our broad shoulders, and the discipline of the College has been kept above its usual standard. The Seniors have supported the ' Varsity football team better than any other class in College, five of our classmen earning the M. The captain of the football team is a Senior, as is the baseball team ' s captain. In class football our record of last year was not duplicated, but on a field of snow our team bravely and fiercely defended the title won only last year; but, as luck would have it, ours was not the successful team. Such is our past and present. The future confronts us, and soon we will fight the mighty battles of actual life — with its failures or its successes — for years to come. Be those failures or successes what they may, we push on with pride in the past and great hopes for the future. Historian. 65 66 Rime of the Ancient Freshman Class. It was an ancient Freshman Class, ' Twas born in nineteen-six ; By their long white pants and drooping caps, Now how came they in this fix? The College doors are opened wide, And we are next to leave ; The Faculty met, the day is set — One long sad sigh they heave. The President sat in his chair — He cannot choose bnt weep ; He knows, alas ! this Senior Class He cannot always keep. Exams were here, exams were there, Exams were all around; They flunked us once, they flunked ns twice, We breathed without a sound. At length we crossed the Junior line, Through thick and thin we came, As if we had been twelve sages wise — W e won our Senior name. We used the brains we ne ' er had used, And round and round they spun ; And every day it was work, not play, Until we ' ve almost won. The long white pants, the drooping cap, We ' ve worn with brazen face; We were the first that ever burst That custom at this place. Down dropt the wrath of the younger boys, ' Twas sad as sad could be, And we did speak only to squelch Their meaning pleasantry. 67 Day after day, day after day. We work nor cease, nor stop. As pale as the tombstone while That on us soon may drop. Knowledge, knowledge everywhere, And all our brains did fill ; Knowledge, knowledge evervwlh re, But not one drop to spill.

Farewell, farewell -hut this I tell To thee, thou Junior hatch, ( ' mini not, 1 say. fair ones, count net Thy chicks before they hatch. .;s Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College Know All Men b i These Presents: We, the Senior Class of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, mindful that our exceptionally brilliant careers as students of this institution are about to come to a close; and, being remarkably sound in mind and body, as well as memory, and at the height of our ulory, and considering the great loss ( ?) the Faculty and students of this school will sustain by our departure, do make and publish this our last will and testament in matter and form following : We recognize the looks of inordinate desire and longing cast upon us by the Juniors, the appreciative awe in which we are held by the Sophomores, the untranslatable look of admiration and wonder with which the verdant Freshman follow our every move, and the worship, which amounts almost to idolatry, evinced by the denizens of Prepdom. We appreciate the respect and consideration which our worthy Faculty has shown us. We are able to understand and sympathize with the heartache, sorrow and gloom the absence of the Class of ' 10 will cast upon the institution; and, while we fully understand the impossibility of appeasing it, we think it may justify us to bequeath a few of our valuable gifts to the suffering humanity left behind at the A. M.. under the tender mercies of those who have labored with might and main — alas, in vain! — to keep us down to the level of ordinary graduates. First: To the Juniors we bequeath the most valuable of our jewels, viz., the Society of the Starkville Four Hundred. We beg you to treat them kindly; and, while you can never hope to gain the affections and hearts of these — for both the affections and the hearts are the exclusive property of the Class of 1910 — yet, out of kindness and consideration, try to be as tender with them as we were. We also advise the Juniors to fasten their aspirations to a star, or, in other words, to aim at the mark the Class of ' 10 has left, although they will never attain it, and it nevermore can be reached. Second: To the Sophomores we leave a few of our deep thoughts, which, if planted and properly tended in cerebral tissue, we have no doubt will grow 69 and bloom profusely. Our high ambition we likewise have to leave them. We desire them to aim higher than Juniordom ; have an ambition to some day reach our high estate. We regret that they may never be such as we are. Third : Our great caution and deliberation we leave to the Freshmen, as we have observed them to be sadly lacking- in these qualities. We also advise the Freshmen to study the following books, which we individually bequeath to the Library for the special use of this class. These volumes are the results of our wide experience in the various subjects, being as follows: Scholarly Fame, and How to Attain It —Earl S. Brashier. Sweethearts, and How to Train Them — Same author. Pleasant Looks, and How to Wear Them — Fesser Jones. The Imitation of Demosthenes — Brougher. Heart-Smashing, of Theory and of Practice — Lottie Cothern. How to Study — H. CI. Carpenter. My Sporting Record, and How ' Twas Won — Graves. Scientific Study of English - —Pat Greaves. (This volume contains copious notes by the author. ) The Relation of Bird Hunting to the Art of ' Sticking ' Preps — Bethea. {Profusely illustrated with actual photographs.) ' ' Normalite Manual ' ' — Pou. Courtship at a Distance — Polk. Fourth: We desire that our unpaid bills for candy, ice cream, coca-cola and various and sundry other necessary articles, which will come to us in the next few days, and which we have been unable to pay on account of cheap money (our dollars going only so far as the ordinary half-dollar), be paid by the juvenile Preps. We have often observed their deficiencies in business mat- ters, also that they did not have enough work to occupy their time, and desiring them to he more mindful of the dignity imparted to them by our shining example, we bequeath as above. Fifth: To the Student Body we leave our seats in the Chapel, likewise in the Mess Hall, and bequeath to them the glittering gems found in James ' Psychology, Organic Chemistry; likewise the inspiring geometrical and trigo- nometrical truths expounded by Wentworth. From experience, we advise you not to drink too deeply at this fountain of knowledge, as it is likely to cause brain-storm and other complications. Sixth: We appoint our dear friends, the Faculty, joint executors of this our last will and testament, an honor which we hope they will appreciate. (Signed) Class op 1910. 70 72 Junior Class Officers.

At intervals in all histories there are eras in which the nations reach a high water mark, and such an era occurred in the history of the A. M. College with the advent of the Class of 1911. I do not mean to say that this class is faultless, but modesty to say that their faults arc not so great as to materially interfere with their good qualities. At the beginning of the current session we gathered together and elected officers, in which election we were fortunate in choosing competent men for the various positions. The number matriculated in the class this year is about as large as usual. Several of our old members, however, are not back, but new men from other colleges have taken their places. At various times since the establishment of this college the different classes have striven to establish some form of dramatic club. All, however, have been unsuccessful until the present Junior Class organized, under the leadership of their former professor of English, the Cap and Bells Dramatic Club. Under adverse conditions the club grew, because all the members worked faithfully, and as a result of pulling together their first play, Dizzy ' s Dilemmas, the first play ever given by students on the college stage, was presented with marked success on the night of November 10, 1909. In all phases of college life, in fact, the Class of 1911 ranks high. They have heartily supported the V. M. C. A. and Athletic Association, and in football they furnished five men, who helped to constitute the team that won glory for A. M. in the autumn of 19011. No other class, we believe, can boast of this number of football men. And in class football! This is where the Juniors manifested their superiority over the other classes, both as players and in the support of the team. They won a game over French ( amp. and without a scrub defeated the Seniors for the college championship. Let us hope that the remainder of our college life will be as successful as the past has been. We are now finishing the third quarter of our college course, and will soon be called upon to shoulder the responsibilities of a senior class.

In September of 1909 there gathered to the portals of old A. M. a hand of about a hundred and fifty young men to take up the duties of Sophomore — the hardest year of the college course Having had. however, the training of the previous year or two, they were undaunted by the greal difficulties confronting them, ami they immediately set lied down to earnest work. Early in the Freshman year of this class, sonic of the instructors, penetrating the rough and verdant exteriors and seeing the capabilities, the sterling worth, and the determination of these men, declared Ihal the Class of 1912 would furnish many illustrious characters in the future of not only our Stale, bul of our country also. The record made so far has even surpassed the expectations of the most optimistic members of the Faculty. The stupendous strides already made in the development of the class is proving the truth of the prophecy, and it is now becoming apparent that this class will scud out men to take brilliant parts in the affairs of citizenship and of government; men who will meel and overcome ' YtTy obstacle: men fearless in their stand for what is right. ATHLETICS. Our class furnished to the ' Varsity eleven Ibis year Rhodes, Williams and Bass, three men who did much to make it the winning team Ihal it was. A Sophomore is captain of the track team, and has held thai position for two years. That he is well qualified tor the place was proved Last y ear on Field Day. Our men have taken a leading part in track work from the first. For baseball, tennis and gymnasium we have a number of good men who will do their pari with credit. While the (dass football record for the presenl year was no1 so brilliant, yd there was much good material, and the final defeat only after two very hard games was in no small measure due to the absence of some of the besl players, occasioned by physical disabilities, and to the very late rearrangement of the team, causing some unavoidable confusion.

As it would take volumes to relate all concerning the Class of 1913, it is deemed wise to mention only a dew facts which are self-evident. In the first place, it is really a pleasure to write aboul such a bright looking bunch of fellows now standing at the beginning of the rough and stormy pathway leading to the great hall of fame, all eager to have their names inscribed upon its walls. In many respects the 1913 Class has uot been excelled by any class of the College, and in some respects it is Ear superior to many. This is shown by its represen- tatives on the different teams, in the different clubs and societies, by its diligent students, hard-working, earnest men, and in many oilier ways needless to mention. It was a day in September thai the Class of 1913 made its first appearance in the College circles. City boys, dressed in their best, and frost-bitten countrymen were to be seen coming in on every train to make up our class. Some young men like Brevard and his roommates, being so rich as to smoke 40-eent cigars and ride up to the College in a hack. They are from Memphis; that is the reason. The old men seemed glad to meet ns and willing to answer all our curious questions, but a few of us were roped in by being sent to Lieut.-Col. Bethea ' s room for the Bath-house key. From every train that came in during the next few days, groups of students came up to the College and were greeted by the ones who had arrived before. The height of good feeling reigned between the students — all classes, old and new, mingled together for the first few days. Curry thinks he will quit College and go on the stage; all he needs is a monkey and a hand-organ, and he will be ready to post bills, giving his first performance in Starkville. His classmates think this is a good plan, as he is always heard if not seen. His motto is, No fool, no tun. Arrington, although a football man, lacks his parent ' s care, as he still erics for the bottle. Little Bethea and Egerton are very close chums, as quite frequently one can hear Egerton call clown to Bethea: Hey, Ollie! where are you at? Ollie replies, Down in this here end of the hall listening to a fiddle. Anderson tries to impress upon our minds that lie can sing, and he is frequently heard singing, I Wonder Who ' s Kissing Her Now. It seems as though his heart has been captured by some fair maiden, and his thoughts dwell on her constantly. Ask Prof. Ricks about this. Now comes Willie, better known as Paul Willie, who says that he would rather be in Houston with the girl that stole his heart than to be here eating Dr. Howard ' s sausages. Willie is a dead game sport and claims to be somewhat of n musician. liratlon. acting hall orderly, is making strenuous efforts to get a grease with Major Bowman in order that he may get a cor- 102 poralship in his Sophomore year. Wingfield and Robinson, a dashing couple of handsome youths, are leading Starkville society. As we will have to stop some time, it might as well be now, Leaving volumes to remain untold about the class whose triumphs and successes will be renewed with greater and greater luster in time to come. Look out for the Class of 1913, which has only been introduced in this brief sketch. They will some day make their mark in the world. Then clear the track our Engineers have built; Our Farmer Boys will answer every call ; Qui- Pedagogues will teach a skeptic world Thirteen is not unlucky, after all. J. E.

One of the many things that happened on or about September 16, 1909, was the gathering together of the boys who form our Prep. class. They came from all parts of the State seeking the wine of life — true philosophy of life. It would be imposs ble to describe the members of our class as they appeared then. I think, bo. wer, that they can be classified roughly under three heads, namely, Green, Greener, Greenest. We came to college with man, ideas and purposes in view. Some came merely to satisfy curiosity, to experiment with college life; some came with the true purpose of improving their condition and to prepare themselves to be more able to meet the responsibilities of life, while others came, hardly knowing for what reason — they just came. On our arrival we found many things that aroused our curiosity. One of the first to meet our gaze was a war man whom we soon learned to know as the Commandant. We have great difficulty in ascertaining his ways and methods of doing things. Some of us (having been put wise by the old boys), on first entering school, greeted his Honor in many ways; some gracefully bowing to him; some saluting; others giving him the hearty handshake — glad to see you, etc. The next thing that met our wonder and tended to make us homesick was our experience in the mess hall. We were not very familiar with the technical terms of the bill of fare, and therefore had much trouble in making ourselves understood — also failing many times to get any Zip, Wasp Nest, Bull Neck or Bingo. However, after encountering and overcoming the difficulties that a new prep. meets on coming to A. M., we settled down to work — patiently awaiting the arrival of the uniforms. Many things are required of the prep., such as guarding the dormitory, duty as hall orderly, furnishing the Seniors with smoking tobacco, matches, and a few other things of minor importance. The old preps. who were here last year tell us that we are unfortunate in not having Prof. Garner at the head of our department. They say that it is Peters Philosophy that has put many preps. on the road to success. Nevertheless, we all honor, respect and love his successor. Wre are one of the lucky classes of this session in having a co-ed. Whatever be the position of the preps. as held among the dignities of the upper class, our 109 future is just as bright as that of any other class if we take advantage of the opportunities offered us and, When from this place we depart. And into life ' s broad field we start, High on the ladder of success Will be our mark. A. N. Hardy, Historian. 110 Prep. Poem. Here ' s to the preps, of 1910, And a jolly bunch are we ; A jollier bunch never has been, Since the year 1893. Some of us hardly know ABC; Some cannot spell dog or cat. But great men some ' 11 surely be, You can bet your head on that. Homesickness we have no more, And we are getting sweet on zip, Which fact will make us have girls galore; Classmates please take the tip. We are all very well contented Having others drive sense in our heads, But doggone the man that invented These blamed old four-story beds. We ' ll have a rough road to go over, But success will come in the end. Then we can wallow m clover With credit to the A. M. W. B. Davis. Ill College Song. Let sound the trumpet note of praise; Let voices sing exultant lays To thee, our College dear, Old A. M., dear A. M. May glory crown thy nohle name; Thy sons reward thee with their fame. All honor, praise b( j thine throughout all age. II When learned book and treatise wise Have vanished with their makers ' lives Our friendship ' s bonds will last That are sealed at A. M. So join our hands, and join our hearts, With one acclaim the song upstarts, All glory, honor, praise to A. M. III. AVhen drifted far from thy old halls And mem ' ry ladened twilight falls Our thoughts will turn to thee, Old A. M., dear A. M. The happy hours of gilded youth, Bejeweled each with joy and truth. Will be a treasured store for age ' s dreams. F. M. D. 112 The Facultee in Inferno. I was lord of a business and ruler of an office wide, With ground glass doors, round top desks, and slaves on every side. I had graduated from A. M. and gone at once to work, And now was boss of a master firm, having risen up from clerk. I was working overtime one night, and sat busied at my desk. Save me the place was empty ; I had dismissed all the rest. Heedless of the flight of time I still kept at my task ; When I ' d finally finished it the midnight hour was passed. The busy city outside had quieted for the night, In the offices here occupied mine was the only light. Too, the entire building was silent and in glo om. Through the empty halls my footsteps rang, as I left my room. The elevator shaft I sought and rang and rang the bell. I murmured low when no answer came, ' Damn that machine to h — , Then suddenly I remembered that they had long since stopped, When, lo and behold ! down from the roof one dropped. Rapidly the boy inside opened the door with a clang And his voice came forth, Here ' s a car, I heard you when you rang. ' ' I stepped into the car, and down, down, down we shot, ' Till I cried out in great alarm, but the boy heeded me not. Then he looked at me with an awful smile, When you rang that bell I distinctly heard you say that you wished this car in h — . The ear kept up the swift descent; I shivered and grew pale, For I saw now that my companion had long horns and a tail. But the Devil calmed and eased my fears when he somewhat laughing cried, There is no need to frightened be; you won ' t be hurt by the ride. We ' ll soon be there and I promise now that there ' ll be plenty to see, For I ' ll take you to the part reserved for the A. M. Facultee. At these words I grew quite bold and clasped his hand, you bet For I remembered the Extra Drill I ' d received from that same set. So down we dropped for quite a while; then the Devil stopped the car, Picked up his tail, threw open the door and said, Well, here we are. First I saw a great big sign that hung on the wall to the right. It read, Get your guides here, and also, We are open all night. I ' ll give you the best we have, and motioned with his hand. At the signal a guide came forth from the nearby standing band. This is our best one, Virgil. He will take you safely through, Explain the place, show all the sights, and tell you what to do. 113 So Virgil called a cab and directed me inside, Jumped in himself and we were off on our curious ride. As we entered the part of Hell reserved for the Facultee I saw as peculiar a sight as one would want to see. For there on a table was spread a meal. Oh, ' twas a kingly repast ! And right by the table a little man was to a rock made fast. With all his might he would strain at his elm in. and make a grab at the food, But in spite of all his efforts, reach it he never could. That ' s little Dock Howard, said my versatile guide. He ' s eternally doomed to that rock to be tied, With all that good grub spread out on the table, But get it, however he tries, he will never be able. This comes on the account of his great appetite ; His record was seven deserts in a single night. Doesn ' t the next make a ludicrous sight, Swatting a tennis ball with all Ins might ' That ' s Frederick D. Mellen. He had such a lust For playing tennis on earth that now do it he must. This is Fritz J. Waddelle, who thought he was clever, And now he must sit, using all of his wit, memorizing verses ever. Then comes Darnall ; his eternal doom Is to push a baby carriage around this great room. Do you see that rough bum down there in the dirt, With the rough, shaggy beard, and the torn flannel shirt? That ' s Koby W. Harned, and the penalty that he pays Is to live like a tramp the rest of his days. Here ' s old Prof. Garner. He ' s locked in a cage. Don ' t you see how he fights and how he does rage? He wants to get out and be married you know, But friend Monte won ' t let him go. And Uncle James Brown Bowen, cried Virg with a laugh, From what he is saying you would think that he had gone daft. He ' s eternally doomed to speak Foreign Prose Before a class of young devils who speak through their nose. Andrew Maret Maxwell is condemned to he bound And gagged so that he can ' t make a sound, And to sit with his ear in a phonograph ' s horn To hear the hot air wasted since he was born. Dr. W. F.

And to the sound of the rising bell, out of bed I sprang. 115 On The Local. His courage had arrived at the psychological moment. It ' s a pity we don ' t know each other. The brown feather betrayed a slight motion of surprise. Perhaps you have met me before, she suggested, ironically. He was encouraged, and overlooked the haughty elevation of her chin. No, I haven ' t — that ' s the pity. I never meet anybody I know on ' the local. ' There was no perceptible sign of interest. But I always seem to meet somebody I ' d like to know. It was risky. And were you as rude to the others? She did not deem it necessary to raise her eyes. I wasn ' t as bold, but circumstancs are different. You see, we are alone — More reason why I should be free from discourtesies. Even the conduc- tor — ' ' ' That ' s just it. lie could speak to you without eliciting your disapproval. In a business way, yes. Well, if I talk business— 1 am none of your business. But suppose — Suppose we don ' t argue it. It was hardly a rebuke. He was studying the landscape. She made a careful survey of his profile. The little frown seemed to make it more attractive. She realized that she had been trapped into talking. She closed her lips determinedly and her gaze shifted to the mirror at the forward end of the car. Gradually she became aware that she was staring full into the reflection of his amused face. She started involuntarily, and was immediately ashamed of herself. Am I so bad? he smiled. Her head turned from him meaningly. He could barely see her profile. Suddenly he arose and disappeared at the farther end of the car, but returned immediately. His features were forced into an expression of mock seriousness. Magazines! he announced in unmistakable imitation. Periodicals, madanie? He boldly displayed a single volume. She took in the worn edges and the torn back at a glance. An idea suddenly occurred to her. How much? she began fumbling in her satchel. She took the magazine and held a coin toward him. It was a new obstacle. Why, madanie, this is — er — a — sample copy. 116 Then accept this as a tip. She was enjoying his confusion. He hadn ' t foreseen this. He saw no alternative. In that case, I feel it my duty to explain certain features — ' ' I detest agents ! ' ' Certain special features, the first of which — Is your name written boldly across the top. I think I can manage, Mr. Davis! Then we are introduced, triumphantly. Are we? I know enough about you — ' ' My knowledge of you will suffice. ' ' I know that you are just the kind of girl I may expect to meet only under adverse circumstances. Why is it that cousins and every-day people whom you know are always so different — so, well — unattractive? She was turning the pages slowly and apparently without interest. For instance, he foud it necessary to place his finger upon one of the pages — there is one of my cousin ' s chums. I am to meet her this evening. Why doesn ' t she ride on trains and let other people be chums? The girl regarded the penciled caricatures critically. She was biting her lips to keep from smiling. Mouth a bit too large, she commented to herself. She held the magazine at full length and tilted her head to one side with the air of a serious critic. Davis laughed, and the girl smiled in spite of herself. Not large enough. You don ' t know chums. Tall, slender, actually slim, wear spectacles — always. ' ' He darted a hasty glance at her dark eyes. Gray eyes, too, you know — probably keeps her mouth open all the time. I ' d draw the line if she kept her mouth open very much. She felt it her duty to utilize this opportunity. Don ' t you feel sorry for me? The — er — chum has my sympathy. Why am I so bad? I am sure if our positions — he found a new idea. Will my talking to myself disturb you? I can ' t regulate that. Well, it ' s just this way, ' ' he soliloquized, I have a cousin — but it ' s not my fault. The cousin has a chum and she thinks she ' s an angel. That ' s her fault. I ' ve met such angels before Having any fun? ' ' I could have more. ' ' 117 If I could ask a question — ' musingly, it would be about why you are going there in spite of this. Promised. I ' m out to till out a house party, you see. I don ' t expect a good time. It ' s merely a matter of duty. One should do one ' s duty by all means. The whistle was blowing. Davis turned and addressed her directly: Perhaps you will be relieved to know that I am going to leave you at the next station. I have forfeited my little chance of ever knowing you. Of course we will never see each other again, and, if you ' ll allow me — I ' m sure I ' ll be sorry. You won ' t mind my saying that. I believe I ' ll even miss you — am I acting funny ' ? I never was in such a position before. I hope you are not actually angry with me. Circumstances should alter cases, sometimes. She was having- a great deal of unnecessary trouble with a tiny valise strap, but managed to hear. The train was about to stop. She arose. You are not going to get off here? His surprise was genuine. Of course. What would your cousin think of a guest who deserted her at the critical moment ? Why, I ' m not deserting. 1 wish — , he paused and began thinking. I expect I ' ll have to see you again, she said. He was following her to the door. And I ' ll try not to keep my mouth open all the time. It was too great a thing to be easily comprehended. Are you May Weston? he asked abruptly. She smiled maliciously at his obtuseness. I ' ll he so introduced, unless you — desert. ' ' One must do one ' s duty, he quoted, meaningly. 118 A Song at Twilight. Veiled in the mists of the twilight time, When the crescent moon swings low, Dim as the dream of a fleeting rhyme. Come visions of long ago, And their voices, faint as a far off chime That peals in the afterglow. Call through the dusk, and they hring to me The fields by the river ' s shore, Where the iris flung its fragrance free, The dew-bedecked meadows o ' er, Where I wandered in years that are past, with thee ; In the years that are no more. Sweetheart of old, the day is done ; And the swallow seeks her nest. The lengthening shadows, one by one, Stretch far from the dark ' ning West. But dreams fade not with the fading sun, Nor die when the world is at rest. — Selected. 11!) A Visitor Caught (With apologies to Poe.) T. Once upon an evening dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over all the morrow ' s lessons which I ' d never seen before, While I nodded, nearly naping, suddenly there came a tapping As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Tis some visitor, I muttered, tapping at my chamber door. Yes ' twas this, but something more. II. And the gentle, soft, uncertain rustling of a bedroom slipper Thrilled me — filled me with a dawning pleasure never felt before ; So that now to still the beating of my heart, I rose in answer, And the door threw gently open to the skipper standing there, Laden down with goodies, was he — dropped them to my chamber floor, Eat, he said, I ' ve plenty more! III. Presently we both felt stronger, hesitating then no longer, Gay we got, in joy forgetting that the Colonel was next door. Quickly came he rapping, rapping, tapping at my chamber door When — cadet and feast and books and courage rolled ' neath bed on chamber floor. Then I rose to meet the Colonel — then I opened wide the door. Monster there, but something more. IV. Right into my chamber peering, while I stood there quaking, fearing, Meeting, facing looks no mortal ever dared to face before ; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token Of the skipper and his goodies stretched upon my chamber floor. But— soon he spied him ' neath the drapings, dragged him out my chamber door, Quoth the Colonel, ' ' Caught ! once more ! ' ' 120 Back into my chamber turning, all my soul within me burning At the trouble I was in then, with demerits all in store, — Surely thought I, there is pardon, pardon for this burden sore. Let me see then what therein is, and for mercy him implore, But in grave and stern decorum, just one word had he in store; Quoth the Colonel, Nevermore! VI. Much I marveled this inhuman flesh to hear discourse so sternly, How his answer, with its meaning, little pleasure did restore. And we can not help agreeing that no living A. M. Cadet Ever yet was blest with having feasts approved ' hind chamber door. Scowls and squelches all await him, and the Colonel ' s only lore Is for skipping — Nevermore! F. C.

I love the trees that grow so tall, With their brown leaves whirling fall And moulder in the sod; I love the gentle, sighing breeze That whispers softly through the trees And makes the bushes nod. I love the gravel walks that trace Their way about this dear old place Aud lead from door to door ; I love the turning, winding stair That rears its spans into the air And climbs from floor to floor. I love to hear the bugle blow Reminding me that I must go And shoulder my old gun ; Its stirring notes filled father ' soul With feelings he could not control When heard in ' 61. Suspended ' neath old Jersey ' s throat, The cow-bell rings its brazen note, A sound I love to hear ; If echoing from the meadowdand Or rattling in some rooter ' s hand, Its sound is always dear. It is a pleasant task indeed To watch the Jersey cattle feed And switch their dangling tails ; To rub their coats as fine as silk And to hear the streaming of the milk Into the ringing pails. For everything that makes a sound, For every object on the ground, My life is full of them. And not a place in this broad land Was ever loved by any band As we love A. M. 157 W. E. B., ' 10.

The leaves all crisp and drifted lie In the sheltered hollows still and cold, And rustle ' neath drops of sleet that fly From the angry front of a steel-gray sky ; For the year is growing old, my dear, The year is growing old. The silent snow birds come and go ; The wild ducks long have flown from the creek ; And softly over the mountains bloAv The winds that whisper the coming snow And moan in the branches weird and bleak-. But little care I if the hard sleet flies, Or the snow and the winds are cold; With the dead brown fields and the hard gray skies, When a warm smile lights thy soft gray eyes With a love that never grows old, my dear, A love that never grows old. Special Military Companies. When the Legislature organized the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, it saw fit to dehar all Greek letter fraternities from either seeking members from its student body or to maintain chapter houses on the Campus. The wisdom of this action has been proved by the steady growth of the A. M., while institutions where these fraternities flourish have been at a standstill. Our student body has not been slow about recognizing the benefits to be derived from a fraternity — in promoting a brotherly feeling among the boys, initiating its members into society, and the numerous social advantages that come to members of such organizations — and have created special military companies that embody all the good qualities of the Greek letter fraternities without their faults. Our school has been singularly free from antagonism between members and non-members of these organizations. The purpose of all these companies is to make their members especially proficient in the handling of the rifle or sabre, and to vary the monotony of college life by dances, banquets and like social functions. The Sabre Company is composed of members of the Senior Class only. The drill is with sabres, and the members are selected because of their mental, moral, physical and social qualifications. In addition, they must handle the sabre with ease and grace. The Lee Guards and George Rifles are composed of members of any class in school, the other requirements being very similar to those of the Sabre Company. The annual hops held by these two organizations are probably the most enjoyable events in a college man ' s course. We believe that, in order for the proper spirit, toward the military feature of our College to be made manifest, these companies are indispensable. They should command the respect of both students and Faculty. SABER COMPANY. Saber Company. MISS MONTGOMERY .Sponsor MISS RIVES Maid MISS JACKSON Maid OFFICERS. W. II. BOWMAN First Captain J. A.

His grit was shown in the I . of M. game, in which he played with one arm bone broken. POLLARD, Manager and Captain-Elect. Polly is easily of all-Southern caliber. His play- ing at left tackle was a feature in many games. He was selected for the All-Southwestern. He will make a brilliant captain and player for next year. WILLIAMS. Blondie was alike the terror and admiration of all opponents. He is easily the best half-back since the days of Big Montgomery. Rival teams regret that he will be with us next year. RHODES. Staid;, according to a prominent sporting editor, hits the line harder than any other full-hack in the South. He is the best defensive full-back that we have had in years. lie will be with us next year. 178 MAGILL. May comes to us from Birmingham. His playing vvas the feature of many games. He enjoys the record of having- run one hundred and five yards for a touch- down. It is to be hoped that he will return next year. JONES. Cotton is the best defensive end in the South. Fur- ther, lie receives forward passes as though that play was invented for his own particular use. The slogan of opposing teams was Look out for that blond end. The hardest and most reliable tackier on the team. BASS. Corporal played his first year on ' Varsity, was a good, consistent end this 3 ' ear and promises to make a star next season. His playing was a feature in many games. SAVELY. Jack enjoys the distinction of being our heaviest man. He hits ' em low and hard. Always happy and contented.

Though often outweighed, he was never outplayed. 1 ' OIjK. Steve is a good, heady player. Lack of weight alone kept him oft the regular team. A good tackier and a hard worker. Showed up well in all games in which he participated. He will noi be with us next year. SEAL. Leo came to us from the class teams of last year. He is quick, willing and rough, a guard who can put up interference. Promises to make a brilliant player next year. 180 GILBERT. Lack of experience alone kept this promising man from a place on the regular team. Our most versatile player. Starred at guard against U. of M., though it was his first game :it that position.

Football has always been one of the most popular athletic sports at A. M., and students and Alumni are justly proud of the teams that have represented the College on the gridiron. Aside from the purely physical benefits to be derived, no other game does more to promote a strong college spirit, to inculcate the important lessons of perseverance, fair play, and self-control, and to shape and form a self-reliant and courageous manhood. For this reason, football has always received hearty encouragement here. It has rapidly increased in favor, and is now perhaps the most popular of all names in this school. To properly estimate the measure of success due to the 1909 football team is a difficult undertaking. Nine games in all were played, of which five were won and four were lost. A total of 153 points scored against opponents speaks for the offensive strength of the team, while the 1-1 points scored by opponents indicates a stubborn defense. The largest score made against the team, 15 to 0, was registered by L. S. TJ., October 15, at Baton Rouge. L. S. U. with a team of veterans played in better form that day than at any other time during the season, while our men, tired out by a long trip and playing on a strange field, suffered the first half from the stage fright that always fastens upon an inex- perienced team. If we except the Cumberland game played a week earlier, this game at Baton Rouge was, for eight of the men, their first big game. Although the season opened in the midst of great gloom and discouragement, due to the lack of experienced and promising material, things began to look a little better after the team defeated Birmingham College, 21 to 0. It was expected by many that Cumberland with her heavy team would have an easy victory, October 8, but, contrary to these expectations, we took the game by a score of 3-1- to 6. The defeat of L. 8. U., October 15, was by a score so much smaller than that of the year before Ilia! il was looked upon almost as a victory. October 21 A. M. took sweet revenge on S. P. U. in Columbus, 31 to 0. Through the negligence of the referee, in failing to follow up the ball, a safety was awarded Tulane which gave them the game, 2 to 0, that was played in New Orleans October 30 before Presidenl Taft. Tulane played a superb defensive game, especially when her goal Line was in danger, but the honors of the game should have gone to A. M., for we gained five times as much ground as Tulane and were in striking distance of her goal a half dozen times. While the score should have been at least to 0, no one who saw the game denied that A. M. had the better team and the best of the game. Hurrying 183 back from New Orleans, we next took a game from Union University at Colum- bus, November 2, just three days later, by a score of 25 to 0. The following- Saturday, November 6, we lost to Howard College in Birmingham, (i to 0. Three hard games in one week, in addition to the long and hard trips, accounts for the slump in the team ' s playing. That it was a slump was shown when we defeated the University of Chattanooga the Following week, 37 to 6, while Howard was barely able to hold Chattanooga to a to score two weeks before. A. M. lost the annual Thanksgiving game with the University of Mississippi by a score of 9 to 5, but she has nothing to be ashamed of. Outweighed 20 pounds to the man, our team played the university to a standstill. Working a fake kick successfully for 50 yards on the first play after the kick-off, the University carried the ball across for a touchdown in four minutes after the game started. During the remainder of the half the ball was largely in the university ' s territory, Williams once missing a field goal from the 20-yard line by the narrow margin of a foot. In the second half A. M. came back deter- mined and scored a touchdown, but Failed at goal. On two other occasions the ball was carried to the university ' s 15-yard line, only to be lost on downs. Luck showed itself in favor of the university, for, after recovering a misjudged punt, Haxton of the university kicked a held goal from a very difficult angle. It was a good performance, even though a lucky one, and decided the game, the final score being 9 to 5. It was a great game in every respect, and one of the best ever played between the two institutions. In most respects the 1909 season was a very satisfactory one. With a team averaging only 154 pounds per man. one of the lightest in the South, individual playing was necessarily sacrificed to team work-. The men played a clean, hard game and deserve much praise for their gentle- manly conduct while on the field. Moreover, each man maintained a good stand- ing in his class work ' . It was such a team as brings credit to itself and to the college that it represents. For these reasons, it ' for no other, the season of 1909 may be considered a most satisfactory one. 184 Wearers of the M McLellan, J. W. Smith, F. M. Breeland, C. L. Walton, F. L. Minor, G. A.

Sophisticated Senior (taking picture): My! this is good of yon. I want this (taking out watch and trying picture in il ). Town Girl Gwendolyn: No, yon can ' t have that one. It ' s the only one I have — now. S. S. : Now. ' Well, how many have yon given away lately? and this one has been in a charm. Tis cut round. Who was it had il last? Gwen: Nobody. Give it back to me, please. S. S. : No, give it to me. See how nice it looks in my watch 1 ? (Hands her the watch and keeps picture.) She leans far back and away from hitu to read by light of window, making an irresistible effect. Gwen (reading) : To Jack on his graduating day. She turns to find Jack looking her steadily in the eyes. She returns the steady look. He winks. She winks. She holds her hands oul I ' or picture, and they engage in hand to hand conflict. Gwen: Take your hands away. I ' ve told yon three or four times. Jack lets go her hands and settles hack in Ins chair. (Iwen : (Jive me back my picture now. I won ' t let yon have it. Jack: But suppose I take it; would yon he angry? Gwen: Give it hack ' . Yes, I would. Jack: All right (puts picture on desk near them) I don ' t want it, if you don ' t want me to have il. Gwen (daring him with her eyes and holding his hands away): No, no. Don ' t! Stop! Don ' t! Stop! Jack (doing his best, but failing): Von are daring me. All right, young lady. (He tries again.) Gwen: If yon don ' t stop, I ' ll call some one. Jack: Please let me have it. Gwen: Which? 202 Jack: The picture — er — both. (He tries to take them both.) Gwen (on the break away) : Look here, young ' college snob, if you think anything like that will be tolerated — I — Oh! I wouldn ' t have thought it of you. You certainly must have had a high regard for me. They sit with looks averted, and silence thick as mud reigns supreme. Jack in dejected attitude. Gwen (glancing at him) : I would have been manly about it, anyhow. Jack (thinking of the masterly quality in man so much admired by woman) : Oh, you would. I should have made yon. So here goes.

Jack: Aw, Gwen, I — you — I wouldn ' t have yon think this of me — that I am that kind of — altogether. (.Slow music during sad monologue.) Really, I have sane moments, though 1 do act the fool and did act it there, and the cad, too. Please say you forgive me. I am ashamed of myself. ' ' Gwen : Well, what do you think of me ? Jack : ' ' You didn ' t do anything. ' ' Gwen: Yon must have had a fine opinion of me in the first place. Jack: No, I didn ' t — I mean I didn ' t have anything else. It wasn ' t that, I just couldn ' t help it. I admire you for your womanliness and ask your pardon. Gwen laughs. Jack: Aw, were you fooling ? Gwen (her face setting in hard lines again) : No, I was not. Jack: I didn ' t think you were. But, honest, how is a fellow to know? You ' ll grant that some girls do lead a fellow on and dare him. And if he doesn ' t do anything, he feels she ' s making fun of him, and calling him a stick. Isn ' t that so? Gwen: Yes. Jack: And when he does respond, he is like a_ fellow stepping off into space in a strange place in the dark. He can ' t tell whether it ' s a six-inch fall to a Brussels carpet, or a ninety-foot plunge into rocks at the end. I tell you, it puts a fellow in a horrible position. He can ' t tell, can he ?

I hope not, sir, shouted the witness, at the top of his lungs. How dare you speak to me in that way? cried the lawyer. Because I can ! speak no louder, sir, said the hostler. Have you been drinking? Yes, sir. I should infer so from your conduct. What have you been drinking? Coffee, hoarsely vociferated the knight of the stable. Something stronger than eoftVe, sir. you ' ve been drinking! Don ' t look at me like that, sir! furiously. Look at the jury, sir! Did you have something in your coffee, sir? Yes, sir. What was it? Sugar. This man is no fool, my lord — he is worse! stormed the counsel. Now, sir — turning to the witness — ' look a1 me. What beside sugar did you take in your coffee this morning? The hostler collected his forces, drew a deep breath, and, in a voice that could have been heard half a mile away, bellowed out — A spune ! A spune, an ' nothing else! 2or The Funny Land of Oz.

MITCHELL, Captain. Bennie hails from Sardis, Miss., where lie first attracted attention as a pitcher. He made the team in 1906, and lias alternated between right Held and the box. He is conceded to be the best lieider iii the S. I. A. A. As a pitcher he lias an enviable record, winning many games after they were apparently lost. We will feel his hiss next year. McCARGO, Manager. Hack came to us with the famous Mitchell brothers, and was one of (he main factors in winning the Southern A. A. Championship. On account of his speed he was shifted from center field tn second, where he proved to be cne oi the mosl reliable men at this position. He is a £oou batter and base runner. McLELLAN, Captain-elect, Mickey, who also helped to cinch the S. I. A. A. Championship, is. according to eminent critics, the best college backstop in the South. Ee is a good hitter, and can play any position on the infield. Ee was unanimously elected Captain and Manager for the linn team. Mike has his fun. win or lose. LENOIR. Paine made the team in 1906, ami has alternated between short and second ever since. He is exceptionally fast and the hardesl hitter on the team, getting three-baggers and home runs in the majority of the names. Several times he has been known to slid into home plate while the pitcher was winding up. HEARN. ' Bun. who was one of the best football players in college, is a batter of no small ability. He hits from the left side and usually puts them oxer the fence. One of the best pitchers in the South. Plenty of speed and uses good bead work. W. MITCHELL. Willie is easily the best college pitcher in 1 he South. This fact is attested by the fact that he made good with the Cleveland Americans. Broke the world ' s record by striking out twenty-one men in a league game. He has established a college record for strikeouts which no pile her will soon equal. We will mourn bis loss next year. WHITTEN. Bill is the life of the team, lie was the best third baseman in the S. I. A. A. One of the best batters and base runners on the team. He is easily of professional caliber, lie will not be with the team next season. RUSSELL. Rusty is from Laurel, Miss. He is a good first baseman and a hard student of the game. A good pinch hitter, a good bidder and has a splendid whip. lie will be with us next year. SMITH. Shuckins came up from the class teams. This was bis second year on ' Varsity, lie is a good base runner, and a good bitter, lias an iron arm and never tires. Will be the mainstay of next year ' s pitching staff. CHISHOLM. This was bis first year on the team. His playing was the feature of many games. On of the most consistent batters on the team. We regret that lie will not be with the team next year. 210 HARDY. Although a new man, Hardy showed up well in all games. Should lie ho with us next year he will make a valuable man. A daring base runner and a heady player. CLAY. Annie ' is easily the peer of any college player in the South. Covers a let of ground and pegs them home in good style. A swift runner and a good batter. We hope to have him next season.

Base Ball Season for 1 909 The team of 1909 was without doubt the best in (lie history of the institution. Further, we had the best team in the 8. I. A. A. This assertion is based upon facts which no just critic can overlook. We won every series with comparative case and played some of the fastest teams in the South. (Mir old and honored rival, University of Mississippi, was beaten three straight games in the prettiest series ever played between Southern cotleges. We were unfortunate in not meeting the University of Alabama, since they also claim the best team in the S. I. A. A. Still here are some facts upon which any just critic will give us the premier honors. We defeated Cumberland University three straight games, allowing them only four hits and no runs in the series. From here Cumberland went to Tuscaloosa and played Alabama a series. Cumberland won the first game and Alabama won the other two by a narrow margin. Our claim is not based upon this alone. The Howard Collegian, whose team played both Ala- bama and A. M., tells us this: A. M. has the strongest team that Howard has yet encountered. The pitching staff is superb, and I lie whole team fields together like a machine. Still other critics tell us about our team. Coach Moss of U. of M. says: We lost because you have the best team in the South. Old Mississippi had a plucky outfield, but they were outbatted, outfielded and outgeneraled. After winning from the University of Mississippi at Greenwood, Manager McCargo received a telegram from the University of Nashville team, which read: Congratulations on the best college team in the United States. From the S. P. U. Journal we have this: Swiftest bunch we have played, and the all-round team work of A. M. was the feature, of the series. That we had such a strong team is due in part to the splendid coaching of Dolly Stark. Still the fact that we had such material as the Mitchell brothers, Hearn, McLellan, Russell, Lenoir, Whitten, McCargo, Clay and others to work upon must not be overlooked. Individually and collectively our team was of championship caliber. Our pitching staff was the best in the South and the equal of any college staff in the United States. This is proven by the fact that one of our stars, Willie Mitchell, made good in the American League. Our prospects for the season of 1910 are good. Though most of the old men are not here, we have Capt. McLellan, First Baseman Russell and Pitcher Smith as a nucleus around which to build a new team. We have unlimited confidence 212 in Coaches Chadwiek and Cap Bennie. Behind them a good team could be developed from absolutely raw material. Since we have such promising material and with these coaches the prospects for a team fully equal to that of 1909 are of the best. 213 a tet 214 Basket Ball, 1 909 The spring of 1909 saw the first intercollegiate basket-ball team at the Missis- sippi A. M. Despite the fact that this was our first season, we gave a good account of ourselves. Dr. Werner developed a good team ami laid the foundation of good teams in future. Considering the late date of organization, the manager arranged several good series, Tulane, L. S. U., Mississippi College being played on a trip. Though the team lost to these schools, they gave a good account of themselves. A series at heme with the College of Physicians and Surgeons was a victory for the Maroon and White. The five men who represented us were fast, heady and aggressive. Garrison and Hardy were easily the stars of the team. Two guards better than these are hard to find. At center Captain Furman did good work. Hale and Simmons at forwards showed up well. THE LINE-UP. SIMMONS Forward HALE Forward FURMAN (Captain) Center HARDY Guard GARRISON Guard W. MITCHELL Substitute ROSE Manager 215 TRACK FOR 1909. We were very unfortunate this vein- in not being able to arrange any intercol- legiate meets. Despite this the men under Dr. Werner ' s efficient coaching did good work. All previous records except three were broken. Considerable interest was manifested on all sides, and we should have a team equal to any in the South next year. Great credit is dwo to the men for the work they did. With such men as shown beiow hack next season the prospects are good. TRACK RECORDS AT A. M.

Take of my little what you will — The hooks I read, the songs I write, The work I do, or good or ill ; My scant provision of delight; Take and give what never can be bought, Your heart of virgin gold. Nay. I who am so poor in gifts, May only for your mercy cry As when the priestly suppliant lifts Tlie humblest offering on high; A sacrifice of doubt and dole.

I saw him poor, unknown, despised, Hew out his gradual way. I saw him battle mighty wrongs As if the war were play. T saw him lift men up and best, When life went like a song Of pleasant things, I saw him still Simple, and pure, and strong. Ami learning of his faith, I asked How such a thing could be In one so strong, and whence it came And then he answered me.

The Young Men ' s Christian Association is the largest student organization in the world. The scope of it is contained in the words: Spirit, Mind and Body; in other words, the all-round developed man. The perfection of these three, Spirit, Mind and Body, constitutes the highest development that can be reached. The local Association is a part of the International Association, and is under the directoirn of an Advisory Board, composed of members of the Faculty. A cabinet selected from the student body and a general secretary, who gives his entire time to the work of the Association. The work of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is large and varied, and students and Faculty recognize the important place it is occupying in our col- lege life. The Association works upon the principle that the more a man puts into it, i he more he gets out of it. The Association offers opportunities for development. Prayer meetings are held each Tuesday and Thursday evenings. These metings are very helpful and there has been an average attendance of 55 at these meetings The regular meeting of the Association is held on Sunday evening, with an average attendance of 185. These meetings are led by members of the Faculty, students and strong outside speakers. The membership of the Association has reached the 400 mark during the past year. Four hundred and thirty men have been enrolled in Bible Study, with an average attendance of 320. Leaders for the 32 classes in which these men are enrolled are coached in normal classes by strong members of the Faculty. There has been a strong interest shown in all departments during the past year. Men are beginning to see that the religious life is the true life. May the day soon come when every man in college will become a loyal supporter of the Association. We cpiote the following from Dr. Logan : I consider the College Young Men ' s Christian Association the most important of the student organiza- tions, both from the standpoint of its aims and purposes and also from its larger membership.

When I dream of you. Oft in golden latticed bowers, Arbors lily-twined, There I find in blissful hours Raptures uneonfmed ; Angels come to look and listen Ever o ' er me star-eyes glisten, There above me, too, When I dream of you! If Were King! If I were king, ah love, if I were king, What tributaries of nations I would bring, To stoop before your scepter and to swear Allegiance to your lips and eyes and hair; Beneath your feet what treasures would I fling, The stars should be your pearls upon a string, The world a ruby for your linger ring, And you should have the sun and moon to wear, If I were king. 233 The Reclaiming of Captain Eaves There could be no doubting that Marshallville was in the throes of a revival. The customary annual protracted meetings of the various churches had never rolled up so high a wave of acute piety. This was a union meeting — all the organs and organizations had organized into one organic whole. The triumphs of salvation which sent daily thrills through the good citizens of Marshallville were not the minor victories of a guerilla warfare, but were instead the grandly sweeping conquests of an ordered army. Success had crowned every detail of the campaign. It had seemed, indeed, thai the Prince of the Powers of the Air had seen the futility of resisting and had struck his colors without firing a shot in return. Before he was aware of the enemy ' s intentions, he found himself confronted by the aforesaid ordered army, with its belligerent auxiliaries, the Woman ' s Home Mission Society, the Woman ' s Foreign Missionary Society, the Epworth League, the Young People ' s Union, the Christian Endeavor Society, the AYomen ' s Christian Temperance Union, the Sunshine Gleaners, and the Prayer Meeting Federation. It would be scant wonder if, under such circum- stances, he did deem advisable unconditional surrender. As has been stated, perhaps to the point of tediousness, these forces were not raw recruits. With Napoleonic acumen the army had been worked into effective form. Before the arrival of the distinguished commander-in-chief (a Second- Blessingite), who had waged successfully similar campaigns around the world, the minor officers had imparted to their respective fighting units the esprit de corps of the Tenth Legion. Around at the Baptist Church, Brother Bennett — by profession a lawyer and by distinction a deacon of twenty years ' standing (bis enemies said of twenty years ' lying) — had prayed his prayer, beginning, Now is the time for the righteous to come to the help of the Lord against the Mighty. To be sure, every Thursday night for the past twenty years he had offered verbatim that same prayer, whose opening sentence suggests the exercises for the learner on the typewriter, but never bad he prayed with such fervor. It reminded his hear- ers of the blast blown upon the ram ' s horn by them of old outside the walls of Jericho. There was something in his tone that forbade the young scapegraces of assoi ted genders on the rear seats their customary diversion of repeating the prayer in unison with the leader. They seem to feel that now Brother Bennett meant business, and they forgot his lack of originality. At the Methodist Church, Brother Hastings — variously entitled circus rider, exhauster, or locus preacher, according to the individual preference of 234 the speaker — had delivered his celebrated prose-epic on David. Brother Hastings was not a regularly commissioned officer, you understand, and for this reason some times the privates approached open mutiny under his command. But now his authority went unchallenged and, with eager ears, the church militant heard him say of the Royal Soldier-Poet of Israel: Brethren, David was a mighty hand to set out at night and view the planetory orgins. It was an apt theme masterfully handled, of necessity inspiring martial ardor. Brother Hornbeak, brigadier-general of the Presbyterian forces, had got down to brass tacks (no irreverence intended here or elsewhere), and omitting his customary dissertation on Calvin ' s beliefs concerning foreordination and predes- tination, had likened Marshallville to Sodom and Gomorrah, whose wickedness, he seemed to think, equaled that of these two notorious municipalities combined. The Episcopal congregation — that is, to be explicit, the Tift family — had held aloof from enlistment for active service in the campaign, but, under the pressure of public oninion they had furnished some of the sinews of war. It was svnerally agreed that if the Hardshell Baptists would just keep their mouths shut, that would be as much as in reason could be expected of them. Marshallville certainly was ripe for such an ecclesiastical cataclysm. Against it the insidious Foe of Righteousness had exerted all his strategies. No wonder he was said to be the subtlest of all the beasts of the held. By treachery and by open onslaught, he had sought to gain his ends. And he had been all too success- ful. In Marshallville the gaming instinct had become a passion. Forty-two — ■ domiucs, you know, in what it said to be its most vicious form — had captured young and old alike. Under its baleful sway the town bad become a second Monte Carlo. There was no betting, but Sister Street, head of the Juvenile Temperance Society, had pointed out the fact that you could bet on it, so it was branded with the mark of Cain. Later this drastic penalty was confirmed when Mrs. Roberts gave a forty-two party, at which the ladies played for a copy of Tbree Weeks. Marshallville also had a skating rink. Yes, sir ! in almost nightly orgies rhythm the godless young things would hold hands for hours at a time, keeping time with their Satan-shod feet to some such sybaritic air as AValtz Me Around Again, Willie. The descent to Avernus is doubly easy when one wears roller skates. Theoretically, Marshallville was a dry town, but Brother Foster, com- mander of the Methodist wing, had stumbled accidentally on a pile of empty beer bottles in the rear of a prominent merchant ' s place of business. Next Sunday the damnable stuff, as Brother Foster denominated it, suffered such a castigation as it rarely received. Through the perfidy of the manager of the city auditorium, The Millionaire 235 Cowboy Company had presented a bloody bill, in which the cheapness of human life was glaringly taught, and in which — I dislike to say this — they had a ballet of ten scantily dressed and utterly reckless girls. And they do .say that they had to hang out the S. I . 0. sign. The town had seemed to realize its wickedness, and there fell the iw!l which precedes the storm. Storm it was. As previously stated, a Holiness or second-Blessing evangelist was the commander-in-chief of the forces. And, if you will pardon the expression, he certainly did whoop ' em up. With him he had an expert choir leader who soon had in successful operation a chorus of one hundred voices, all rolled in white. (You understand that this is a figure of speech.) Sam Taylor had said irreverently, It ' s better ' n most circusses you see. At first the services were held with the Methodists, for theirs was the largest building; but within three days the audiences had increased so it became necessary to seek a larger auditorium. It would never do to continue permitting people to lie turned away from the door. Never had Marsh allville seen such an array of penitents. It seemed that an epidemic of getting religion had seized the people. The testimony meeting was exceedingly popular, for here the penitents told how mean they had been. Perhaps it does not become me to tell of the increase of gossip subsequent to the revival, nor to state how, when Seth Tompkins, the town skin-Hint, testified of his own perversity, a fight right in meeting was narrowly averted when Clem Megginson, recalling a horse trade with Seth, ejaculated a hearty amen. Seth Tompkins was the one who always said to a new convert. Well, I hope ye ' 11 stick. ' ' As hardened sinner after hardened sinner came into the fold, it seemed that the revival was to make .1 clean sweep of Marshallville. Practically all of the substantial business men had sought higher ground. Nearly, hut not quite all — and here I come directl y to my story. There was one citizen who had made no move in the matter — one who, grand, gloomy and peculiar, stood out like a boulder of disintegration in a sand-stone valley. That one conspicuous exception was Captain Eaves, the very austere owner and proprietor of Marshallville ' s leading livery stable. Few acquainted with the Captain ' s ways would have the temerity to mention to him the question of his soul ' s salvation. No one was certain whether the captain had won his title in military service, but his face was so pre-eminently thai of the fighter that the title was a natural one. Brother Hastings — he of the eulogistic sugar-stick on David — had, indeed, broached the subject, but the reply he received was such as to obscure the facts imparted. He felt assured that while the Captain evinced a remarkable wealth of biblical phraseology, his scriptural references were so defectively arranged as seriously to impair their beauty. Later, when some one informed him thai before coming 236 to Marshallville the Captain had aided in the abrupt demise of at least two men, Brother Hastings felt that it might have been worse. Captain Eaves ' name was on the Baptist Church roll, but every one felt that his spiritual welfare was in jeopardy. His previous record, however, coupled with the recent failure of Brother Hastings, made him immune to the importunities of other personal workers. ' ' The revival had obstacles to overcome, but it surmounted them rapidly and with remarkable ease. The chief point of anxiety, as has been stated, was how to seat the people who wished to attend. If it continued necessary to turn away scores, interest might begin to wane. The Baptist Ladies ' Aid Society undertook to solve the problem. They fell upon the idea of seating the warehouse, a large, comfortable structure, with the pews of various churches. Some one suggested the city auditorium, but its recent pollution by the opera company made nothing come of it. The warehouse would give room and to spare. As originator of the idea to secure its use, Mrs. Hank Tucker was appointed a committee of one to execute the plan. Now, it occurred to Mrs. Tucker that since Captain Eaves also was a member of her church, however refractory a member he might be, she might persuade him to have the benches moved free of charge. It would mean the mere use of a few of his teams for something like half a day. She would ask him ; he could do no more than refuse. The securing of the warehouse was easy, thanks to the generosity of its owner. Since Brother Hastings had called on him and had been accorded such short shrift, the Captain ' s heart had been in a constant turmoil. Not that he cared particularly about Brother Hastings, but, perhaps, because on the day of that Saint ' s visit the Captain had passed the revival just when the trained chorus was singing Rock of Ages. Never mind what associations for Captain Eaves the song possessed, as he went down the street his sight was dimmed with tears. He recalled how the committees of personal workers had gone hither and thither, welcomed in offices and stores, but since Brother Hastings ' visit, none had approached him. And he was genuinely sorry. Passing down the street to his home, he talked to himself — a way he had when he wished to think out a prob- lem — saying things he would have tolerated from no other source: Yes, I reckon you are a good deal of a scoundrel — drinker, poker-player, and all-around sport. Killed two men, although I swear I don ' t feel so bad about that, considering the circumstances. Bob Jones and Bud Roquemore both needed killing, and they forced theirselves on you. Old man Hastings. ' ' (here the Cap- tain chuckled) thinks you are a pretty bad sort. I ' m sorter sorry you talked so rough to the darn old fool — he ' s harmless anyway. And, say, did you know that you are getting old? Your last birthday was 237 number sixty-one. Gosh! The first thing you know you ' ll be meeting an old long-whiskered duffer with a scythe and an hour-glass, and you can ' t bluff him out with cuss-words like you did old Hastings. You are an old reprobate! Your name on the church roll! Ain ' t you a pretty church member! A long time ago you got good just long enough to get your name among respectable folks. You know you ought to have been kicked out long ago. You are the only tough nut this revival ain ' t touched, and you behaved so low-down they ' re skeered to talk to you. You ought to be durned ashamed of yourself, ami, what ' s more, you ' ve got to turn over a new leaf. That ' s what you have! The repentant Captain had just delivered himself of this pointed homily when Mrs. Tucker, coming from the opposite direction, sighted him, and with much trepidation prepared to tell him of the church ' s wish that he move the pews with which to seat the warehouse. Scarcely able to muster up sufficient courage, she came near passing him without disclosing her errand. Oh, Captain Eaves, she began in a tremulous voice, I ' ve just been out to your house to see you. May I speak to you just a moment. ' Certainly, madame, politely replied the Captain; no one had ever called him ungallant to ladies. Let ' s step right over there to that doorway where no one will disturb us, said Mrs. Tucker, her self-confidence returning. The Captain nervously twisted his fierce looking iron-gray moustache. He was at a loss to conjecture what was coming. With hat off and head bowed in re- spectful attention, the Captain awaited the declaration of Mrs. Tucker ' s wishes. Captain, she began, tugging incessantly at her gloves in sheer embarrass- ment. I have come to you as a committee from the ladies of the church — She was permitted to proceed no further. With a look of acute pain, the Cap- tain raised a deprecating hand. Pardon me, Mrs. Tucker, but don ' t — I beg you, don ' t say that! I know what you want to say, but I simply couldn ' t bear it. I know I ' ve been — Why, Captain Eaves — Please — please don ' t. Mrs. Tucker! Don ' t try to excuse me! I ' ve been everything a man ought not to be. I am an old reprobate, passed deserving the interest of anybody. There ' s nothing good that can be said of me. The Captain paused in his impassioned self-accusation, but began again before the amazed Mrs. Tucker could recover herself sufficiently to make any explana- tion. i was not always what I am now, Mrs. Tucker. As a young fellow I was straight enough. But I got to drinking and running with a tough lot, and then I didn ' t care for nothing. Old man Hastings — pardon me, I mean Mr. Hastings —came to me a few days ago to talk to me like you want to do, and I treated him 238 shamefully — most ungentlemanly, ma ' am, but I regret it now. Do you know, yesterday when I was passing the church I heard them singing ' Rock of Ages. ' That song carries me back to — that song has associations that just break me up completely. I can ' t tell you what they are (here the Captain furtively brushed away an unwelcome tear), but they go down deep in my soul — or what would be a soul, if I wasn ' t too mean to have one. But I tell you, Mrs. Tucker, the Captain continued with a gulp, as his hands clenched and his lips were tensely drawn, if you good ladies are interested enough in me to send one of your number to talk to me about a better life, by the grace of God, I propose to turn over a new leaf. Yes, ma ' am, turn over a new leaf, he repeated with decision, as the dumfounded Mrs. Tucker remained silent. At length, the lady regained her self-possession sufficiently to murmur halt- ingly : I am so glad, Captain Eaves; I felt sure all the time that your heart was in the right place and that you have merely been thoughtless. I know you can be a power for good. And you ' ll come to the meetings, won ' t you? Yes, ma ' am, said the Captain earnestly. I shall be on hand just as often as I can come, and I don ' t know of anything to prevent my coming every lime. Heaven bless you for your sweet message to me. Half dazed, Mrs. Tucker walked down to the office of the city drayman and gave him the contract for moving the seats to the warehouse. That ' s about all of the story, unless you would be interested to know that now the Captain is a diligent choir leader and fervent Sunday school officer. But to this day he is ignorant of some of the facts concerning bis marvelous reclamation — and Brother Hastings says to let well enough alone. 239 Calendar for 1909-1910 September 15 — The A.

My daughter, ' ' and his voice was stern, You must set this matter right; What time did the Sophomore leave, Who sent his card last night V His work was pressing, father, dear, And his love for it was great; He took his leave and went away Before a quarter of eight.

I wrote a tale I thought would win, In it I said my heroine Grew pale and fainted; The printer man who set it, he Bungled the job and said that she G rew pale and painted. I let that pass, but. Holy Smoke! His next bad break my spirit broke, Where clothed with sanctity I wrote, the euss transposed the a And c, and made me of her say, She was clothed with scantity. ■ An Irishman and a Frenchman were disputing over the nationality of a friend of theirs. I say, said the Frenchman, thai he was homed in France, there- fore he is a Frenchman. ' ' ' ' Not at all, said Pat. ' ' Begorra, if kittens were born in an oven would you call them biscuits? Dix, waxing eloquent while telling of the Columbus trip to Mrs. Grosvenor: Man, we sure did have a time. 250 Professor (in Geology) : ' ' Mammoth flesh has been eaten by dogs after hav- ing been preserved in glaciers for thousands of years.

Take me, said he, but she replied, I asked a harp and not a lyre. Prof. Darnell : Yes, if I can teach this Sophomore Class to spell and punctu- ate this year I will die happy. McBeath : We will learn it as soon as possible then, professor. 4 4 We have a young fellow named Herman, AVho prizes himself a s a German, Who thinks it his due When he sits in his pew, To take a good sleep at the sermon. « « 4 Senior (at the breakfast table): I hear that the Engineering Department has lost a barrel of black oil. Prep: I thought that this was mighty funny molasses. 251 My son lie was a quarter-back First year he was in school; The next he got to be half-back, Which shows he is no fool ; The next he was made full-back — That ' s making- quite a gain, But now he is a hunch-back-- Which I can ' t quite explain. A pretty girl in a hammock slung in an apple orchard awoke suddenly and frowned at the young man who stood before her. You stole a kiss while I was asleep, she exclaimed. Well, stammered the young man, you were sleeping so soundly — you looked so pretty, so tempting, I, yes, I admit I did take one little one. The girl smiled scornfully. One ! said she.

Wells: Black as the blackberries that grow on the vine by the river bank. There was a young lady named Banker, Who slept while the ship was at anchor. she awoke in dismay, For sin 1 heard 1 he mate say, Now hoist the top sheet and spanker. 252 I held deai- Helen on my knee, My arm about her just so, And kissed her many, many times, As though I was her beau. Now you say it ' s not just right, But I don ' t think ' twas bold, For Helen is a little girl, In fact, just two years old. OR SODOM. A Western bookseller telegraphed to Chicago for Farrar ' s Seekers After God. Reply: No seekers after God in Chicago or New York. Try Phila- delphia. Professor: Will you explain the term, ' Heat expands; cold contracts? ' Guy ton: Yes, sir. In summer the days are long; in winter they are short. Break, break, break! on thy cold gray stones, sea! For I ' d like you to know How it seems to lie so Broke, dead broke, as me.

Our clients have millions now loaned on lands that are being over-run by the Mexican Cotton Boll Weevil, which means the sudden giving up of the one crop, all cotton plan of cultivation and the raising of corn, hay, oats, hogs, etc. Cotton to be raised only as a cash crop and by methods more exacting than now in use. Some of our borrowers may prefer to sell rather than attempt to adjust themselves to the new con- ditions.

MANUFACTURED BY TENNESSEE FIBRE COMPANY MEMPHIS, TENN. An analysis of 20 % protein and 5 % fats is guaranteed and if you compare this analysis with feed meal made from corn or with any of the mixed feeds made from wheat, corn or oats you will find that the comparison is altogether in favor of Creamo Feed Meal made from the cottonseed, the South ' s ex- clusive product. Creamo Feed Meal contains the cottonseed in the exact pro- portions found in nature minus the ex- cess of oil and lint which are too valuable to feed the cattle.
