Set far back from the road, and down in a deep hollow, was a rambling old homestead, rapidly falling to decay. The land, gradually sloping down from the road, and the th ck woods and shrubbery about it, completely hid the house from view, and yet people knew it was there and unconsciously hurried their steps as they drew near. Strangers arriving in the village, and starting in the (Erection of the “Old Mansion,'’ as the place was called, were warned to hurry past it and not to lo'ter on the road after dark. The many insinuations that the house was haunted never failed to bring, at first, a smile to the listener’s face, but it would slowly disappear when acquainted with the numerous rumors regarding the mysterious homestead. In awed tones the people would declare, that at nights shadowy lights would come and go in the upper windows, a ghostly figure would flit from room to room, a woman’s voice would shriek out as if in terrible agony, and at times, there would float out upon the night air, strange, weird music. These tales naturally daunted the most fearless, and with some petty excuse he would turn away, and take a road that did not lead past the Haunted House. So far over a year things had gone on; the mystery remaining unsolved, the people living in terror of the ghost who was supposed to hold revelry alone on those dreaded premises. The influence that this specter held over them was so powerful that they were afraid to hunt it down lest it should avenge itself upon them in some strange, merciless way. I'or tins reason the ghost was left in peace and the inhabitants of the village contented themselves with keeping out of its way and advising others to do the same. A week before Christmas, a crowd of some twenty girls, with their chaperones, arrived from the city. Calmly they announced their intention to hold a house party in the haunted house until after New ’t ears. 1 his t me the people's warnings fell upon unheed ng ears. With some misgiving, and, it must be confessed, a great deal of curiosity, they watched the outcome of the reckless adventure. The girls took up their abode in the “Old Mansion” fearlessly and decided to unravel the mystery, if such a thing were possible. Travelers passing on the road above heard shouts of merry laughter coming up from the great hollow. and once in a wh'le were greeted by the girls themselves, who, coming up to the roadside would mischievously question where that fearful ghost had disappeared. The people seeing them safe and sound would laugh in relief, and say that perhaps the whole affair had been invented by some superstitious person. Christmas day was drawing to a close. Gathered together in a great room were the girls who had defied all warnings, and had dared to try to solve the mystery that enveloped the very house they were in. For some unaccountable reason they were restless and started up at the least disturbance in the deserted rooms below. hat was it. they wondered, that filled them with an unknown terror? Was it the 4 THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR Storm that dashed with fury against the rattling panes, the wind that shrieked and moaned in the tree tops, or the fact that they were seated in. darkness, the only light in the room being that which came from the open tire? For some time they had been sitting in silence and then were startled from theft- dreaming to hear a girl remark, Say, girls, you have always wanted to know where I went to at a certain hour every day since we've been here, haven't you? Well, I've decided to tell you. The very first day we came 1 happened to go back in the woods a short distance and there 1 discovered a large lake. Its current is so power-t'gul that it has not frozen yet, and I stood watching it for some time, thinking what an ideal place it would be for skating later on, when 1 was startled to catch a glimpse of a bright red figure, disappearing in the trees ahead of me. 1 started in pursuit. Site led me a merry chase and finally I lost her. 1 forgot all about the incident then, thinking that perhaps it had been some one from the village trying to frighten us. When I was about a quarter of a mile from the house I stopped to rest a moment, and on looking about me 1 was surprised to again see that red cloak. This time the girl did not see me. She was sitting on a rock by the lake, lookiitg out with wild eyes across the water. 1 went nearer and addressed her. At first she paid no attention to me and then suddenly she sprang up and bounded away. F.ach day I returned to the same spot and waited for the coming. She has the most beautiful face I have ever seen and for some reason that face haunts me tonight. 1 wonder who she is aitd why she always sits in that same place by the lake, looking into that far-away, as if expecting some one who never comes. As she finished, a slender girl of perhaps sixteen, came out of the shad ows, and seating herself before the fire, began, Shall 1 tell you girls a stqry ? There was a chorus of assent as they drew hearer to her and prepared to listen. For an instant she hesitated, and bent toward the fire. The flames illumined her face and more than one person present thought to herself, llow pretty Caryl Courtnav is. Her light brown hair was brushed low upon her forehead and the curls were caught loosely behind with blue ribbons. Her eyes were of a dark, unfathomable blue, sometimes merry and laughing, but more often the dreamy eyes of an artist or a musician. She drew back and her face was again in shadow. She started to speak and then w-as silenced by a sound coming up from below. They heard the hall door opening oh its rusty hinges, heard light and htirr'ed footsteps coining up the rickety stairs, and heard them stop at the very door. There was a knock. Those in the room did not move and scarcely breathed. The knock was repeated. One of the chaperones rose and after turning on the lights, she stepped to the door and threw it open wide. All was dark without, and no one was visible. lfie next moment a figure appeared on the threshold. The girls shrieked and drew back, for there stood the girl of the t;cd cloak. She was drenched with the rain, but still stood motionless. looking in upon the frightened group. The chaperone drew her forward and up to the fire. The hood of her cloak had fallen back, and revealed a face, gloriously, wonderfully beautiful. The dark, disheveled hair clustered about her forehead in heavy waves, and in great contrast to its darkness was the White, despairing face beneath it. And those eyes! One THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR 5 could never forget them—dark, lustrous, with restless, brilliant light that haunted one with their anguish. Unresisting, she let them remove her cloak, and then stood silently before them, a slender, graceful creature of twenty, her rich garments, her pose, everything, denoting the marks of good breeding. They saw now that she carried a violin, and seating herself before the fire, she touched its lovingly, and tested its every note to see if it bad been injured by the storm. Then she rested it in her lap. and lifting her bend wearily, she spoke. Her voice was low and sweet. It thrilled the listeners and made them draw closer—all but Caryl Courtnay, who again drew back into the shadows. “I’m afra'd I am intruding, but I had to come once more to be w th him, for perhaps it will be the last time. Tonight I am very tired, and when I was at the lake, I heard h:m calling for me to come. You wonder what I am talking about? I will explain: My aunt and uncle, of New York, own this place, and, until a short time ago, they used it as the:r country home. Three years ago today they entertained a crowd of their city friends at a Christmas dinner. I was visiting them at the time, and came to know one of their guests, a young artist. After the party he often spent the week-end with my aunt and uncle and we became very good fr ends. Several months later I was called home by the illness of my parents. Before 1 went we planned to meet aeain at th:s place, two years from the day we parted. During these two years my parents d:ed and my relatives moved away from here. I came back to find a deserted house, but I had plenty of money, so I remained; and though the people say this house is haunted by a ghost, I am the only one who has ever been here. A year has passed and yet he who promised to come ba k has not come. V hile I was still at n y old home he sent me a pi lure of h self and me, w hich he had painted. 1 brought it w th me, and hid n in tl s room. hile you have occupied t e house, I have slept -ut-of-doors, 1 it every night after you had retired. I came to be with him. Tonight I f? -cied I heard h:m calling me. I cou 1 stay away no longer, so I came. Tl, t is all. Quickly Caryl Courtnay came f -ward from the shadows and stood 1 ;-fore the stranger. Bending toward h r, she touched her gen'ly on the ai l and whispered, “Carlotta! The oth r sprang to her feet and cr ed, “G( 1. that voice, that bar. and those eye;! I can never forget them. Who are you ?’’ “I am Caryl, Lionel Courtnay’s s:s-ter. and I have a message for you.” “For me, w'as the dazed answer, “for me, and it is from Lionel? Tell me!” “Yes, from Lionel. About two years ago he left for Africa with a party of friends. While there, he became sick of a deadly fever. He never fully re covered from its effects, so he returned home. After Ifs arrival, he steadily grew worse and the doctor told us he could not live. In his delirium he called incessantly for Carlotta. raved about her dark hair, her glorious eyes, and of a picture he had painted of her and himself. He would try to rise from his bed. crying out that she was waiting for him by the lake and that he had promised to meet her at the end of two years. We looked everywhere for the girl, but we never found her. At the very last. Lionel grew conscious. With his dying breath he begged us to find Carlotta. to tell her why he could not come, and to say that he would meet her in heaven. We promised him all he 6 THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR asked and then, with a smile upon his lips, he whispered, ‘Carlotta,’ and was gone. e cont nued our search for the girl without result. Your story and the mentioning of a picture told me that, at last, I had found you.” For answer, the other rose and extinguished the lights. Stepping to the fireplace, she touched a tiny bulb. A panel of the mantel opened noiselessly, and in the opening was a picture of a youth and maiden, looking for all the world as if the originals stood before the breathless group. The flames fell flickeringly over the scene and at times brought into startling vividness the extraordinary beauty of the picture. For a moment the girl stood motionless before it and then exclaimed. exultantly, ‘‘Yes, I am Carlotta. See! it is Lionel and Carlotta! No one spoke. All eyes were riveted on the opening in the mantel, riveted on that marvelous picture of youth and beauty. At last the spell was broken. All eyes wandered from the picture to the girl beside it. She was leaning forward eagerly, one hand slightly raised, the other clasping the violin. In a voice scarcely above a wh'sper, they heard her say, “Listen! I hear again the waves as they lap against the shore: I see the moonbeams flit across the silvery lake; I hear in the distance the mournful cry of the whippoorwill, and mingling with the music of the night are the strains of a violin, and Lionel's voice, singing softly, sadly, and for me alone. It is a farewell song. Come. I will play it for you, just as he taught it me.” She nestled the violin lovingly against her cheek and with trembling fingers drew the bow across the instrument. The room was filled with music; vvierdly, uncannily, the tones rang out. At first, they were wild and despairing, speaking of untold anguish at parting, then gradually they grew softer, and, as they died away into silence, breathed a calm restfulness, like that which comes after the storm. The music ceased. The girl lifted her head and seemed to listen. “Hark, what is that? Is it but the whispering of the p nes, or is it-- Yes, yes, it it he; he is waiting, I hear him calling for me to come. Lionel, I am coming —coming—coming!” The violin slipped to the floor unnoticed, Carlotta stood, hands outstretched to the picture, and eyes soft and tender, looking into the beyond where the others could see not. Slowdv she sank back in ber chair and lay motionless. Without, the storm had ceased, and within, the room brightened and filled with a heavenly radiance that fell gently, protectingly, over the bowed figure. Caryl Courtnay sprang to her feet and with a quick movement flooded the room with light. Bending over the st’ll form she called, “Carlotta, Carlotta!” The white lips did not answer. Again she pleaded, but the figure remained motionless. The only sound in the room was the last faint chime of the vdlage bell, tolling out the hour of midnight, for, with the passing of Christmas day, Carlotta had gohe to meet her lover.—Mamie Magadance. ’14.

A clear, tropical mo : hone on the “King George II” as she s iled calmly throuj li the peaceful waters toward the shores trf Africa. Land was in sight and preparations were being made for the struggle with the natives, which was sure to ensue. To Godfrey Grahme, on his first trip to Africa on the Engl'sh slave sh:p. th s was a wonderful voyage. As the young EngPshman leaned over the railing his mind was busy with the perplexmg queston of the slave trade. Somewhere he had received the vague idea that these negroes were not mere animals to be isolated from their people at the will of the English traders. So he sought the side of Peter Scrim, an aged Dutch sailor, who had kept careful watch of the young English boy. “God bless and keep King George II, exclaimed the old sailor fervently, as the boy reached him. Til's usual exclamation by Peter was considered a sort of pun, for it was never known whether he meant the King of England or the ship on which they sailed. “Peter,” the young man said, “I want to go ashore.” “Aye, aye, so do we,” the sailor replied. The ship then dropped anchor and soon all talking ceased, but still young Grahme sat by the old sailor’s side. “Letter turn in,” the old man suggested briefly. “I want to go ashore,” the other repeated. Just then the first mate came forward. “The captain has ordered me to take a few men and go ashore to look the place over before daylight.” he announced. Godfrey Grahme was on his feet in an instant. “Til go,” he cried. Silently they embarked in a small boat and set off for the shore, five men in all, three middle-aged sailors, , the male and Godfrey Grahme. As he landed for the first time on the shores of Africa he felt a wild desire to shout for joy, but restrained himself. The mate spoke to the sailor, “John, take Grahme and VVhisby and follow the stream a few miles in search of a settlement. Brune and I will take this branch. Be back no later than s:x o’clock in the morning.” And with Brune as companion the first mate disappeared into the night, as he followed a branch of the river in search of native dwellings. Stealthily John, Wlrsby, and Grahme advanced for several rods when they found it necessary to ford the stream. Still farther on Grahme paused with, “I’ve lost my lucky stone.” “You’ll lose your head next, growled the old sailor. “I'm going back after it.” was the response. “Stay,” said the sailor—then, “well go, but hurry back.” It had been the lucky stone in his family for years and he -could not be the one to lose it, for with it he would also lose the luck of the Grahme family. It was a simple thing to find the place where they' had crossed, and not far from there, glimmering faintly. Grahme found his lucky stone. Thankfully he pocketed its and started back. Coming to the place where he had before forded the river, he decided to go on without crossing, thinking that he could catch the others sooner. At last he reached a marshy spot and for some rHE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR s distance it was necessary to avoid the stream and when at 1 .st lie came back to tlie bank, he did no; know that he had passed his companions, who were only a few rods away across the stream. 1 hi he ran. At last the land grew so damp that he crossed the creek. The air was cool and pleasing and he did not realize how far he had traveled. 1'inally despairing of catch ng them lie sat down for a time beside the stream and fell asleep. lie awoke to find daylight approaching and arising, lie decided to go back to the shore. He determined, however, to climb a hill nearby and take a look at the surround ng country. Somehow, and he never could explain it in after years, a slight sound caused him to turn and immediately he was Jelled by a blow on the head by a large and sayage native. W hen he recovered consciousness he was lying in a rude hut. Bes;de him sat a native clothed in a dress of material resembling burlap, and woven rushes. Godfrey Gralime had often seen ladies of nobility in England, but never one whom he remembered as long as that African I’rincess. Around her arms hung great hoops of beaten gold, quite dazzling against her ebonv skin. Lumps of coral, twisted together with gold, hung from her neck. I ler ankles, too, were richly adorned, hrom a stone vessel she sprinkled water on his face. This was the first white man she had ever seen. Gralime tried to arise, but a warrior Irom beside the door stepped forward with threatening glance and the Princess pushed her patient back. lie settled down quietly. His head ached from the terrible blow, and now that the sun had risen to some height it was uncomfortably warm. The man did not think of danger in his position, for he expected his friends to appear at an moment. It was not until he saw the warrors setting a huge post, that he wondered what they were doing. Soon from a neighboring hut appeared a large and savage man. His o'lv black skin fairly glistened in the sunl ght. Like the girl, he“toas decked with gold and coral. In his hand lie carried a golden staff, and at his approach the warriors bowed unt'l their heads touched the stands, for this was an African King. He entered the hut and curiously examined the white stranger. When Gralime looked again toward the stake he saw that heaps of wood had been piled around it, and with s ckening horror, he realized his fate. Then the woman sprang up and stood before the King and talked hurried]v and exc'tedly to him, but his hard face did not relax. He spoke to the warrior , and they half dragged, half carried Gralime toward the stake. The hoarse cry and the pleading tone of the Princess ceased and she threw herself before the King. For a moment he paused, then proceeded toward the stake. Swiftly the Princess arose, and entering a hut, returned with a child which she placed on the fuel before the captive stranger. It was evident that the child was to be sacrificed with the Englishman. A look of anger filled the old King's face, but suddenly he pushed the pleading girl aside and with his own hand unbound the captive stranger and set him free. Gralime reached the ship to find that the crew had captured a great manv natives. Niev're so plentiful that we only take the handsomest,” laughed the first mate. I he next day they captured the settlement where Gralime had been a captive. One by one the natives were forced to file past the captain and he chose the strongest and best. Toward THR HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR 9 the end of the line walked the King closely followed by the Princess, with the child clasped in her arms. “This one and the little fellow,” said the Captain and two or three men stepped forward to bind the prisoners. look of fear filled the eyes of the Princess as she tightly grasped the child. Grahme, white and s ck, stepped before the Captain who had listened w th interest to the boy’s story of his escape. Now it was the man’s turn to plead, and with a good natured smile the Captain ordered them to unloose the captive and move the procession along. With express:ons that were meant to portray joy, the royal family moved on. The Captain smiled quizzically at Grahme: “She’s an intelligent looking savage, but I quite blush at the look of gratitude she gave me when you were the real deliverer,” he said. “You are welcome to it,” replied the boy, “and may God and King George help me if I ever sail on a slave ship again.”—Ruth Melrose, ’13. JUNIOR FABLES. A Good ()nce upon a time there was a farmer named Jones who owned two dogs. )ne dog was a large Newfoundland, named Jack; the other was a small poodle, called Fido. One day Mr. Jones went out to feed his dogs; he took with hint a large, delicious looking piece of meat. He had no knife to cut the meat, so he threw the whole p ece on the ground and told the dogs to divide it equally between them. Mr. Jones stood watching them for a few minutes, but seehig that they were getting along all right, he went into the house. As soon as he was gone Jack growled savagely at Fido, snatched the piece of meat, and ran off towards the creek. Fido, who was very hungry, followed Jack, but took great pains to keep out of his sight. Lesson; Jack soon came to the old wooden bridge wh ch spanned the creek, and there he stopped to rest. As he stood there, holding the meat in his mouth and gazing into the water, he was much amazed to see another great Newfoundland holding a still larger piece of meat. Ilis selfish nature got the better of him and he dropped his piece of meat on the bridge, and with a warning growl, dived after the other dog. He struck his head on a log, nearly breaking his neck. Meanwhile, Fido came running up. and taking the piece of meat, he ran off to the woods. W hen Jack came up the bank and found his meat gone, he felt so sad that he sat down and cried. Moral: Re not selfish.—L. IT., 14. Why the Owl’s Eyes Are So Large. Once upon a time there was a school in a large forest. This school was not for boys and girls, but for little birds. They did not learn to read, write and spell, but they learned to know the best food, the best grasses, and twigs for their nests and the best places to bn Id these nests. Instead of studying out of books, they were to keep their eyes on the worm, grasshopper, or twig that the teacher was explaining to them. In this school there was a very bad little Owl, who would not obey his teacher. When she spoke to him and told h m to keep his eyes on his lesson, he would look at it' for a short time and then naughtily look around. On this particular day, he had caused the teacher much trouble, because he would not obey, and she had spoken to him a great many times. W hile he was looking around the most curious little bird flew down in the midst of the school and said, “To those who do not obey, I bring punishment,” and then flew away. Instantly the little Hvl’s eyes began to grow bigger and bigger, until they were as large as they are now. and all the other little birds flew away from him because they were afraid. And this is why the Owls have snob large eyes and why all other little birds are afraid of them.—B. G„ •14. 10 THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR Sancho, the G ant Killer. Once upon a time there lived in a castle, on an island far out in the ocean, a cruel giant named Tors. He was very large and had the power of transforming people into animals, and even of changing himself, by his magic, into anything he wished. On one s'de of this very large island, there lived a very kind youth named Sancho. lie was a good athlete, he ng strong and subtle. One day while Sancho was watching the ocean from a high cliff, he noticed a large castle far below him. Having never heard of this castle before, Sancho decided to go down to it. Accordingly he started down the cliff's side. As I have said before. Sancho was a good athlete, and although the cliff was steep and the castle a long way off, he rapidly neared it. Soon he came to a long bridge which connected the castle with the highway. Sancho walked across this bridge and was soon at the gate of the castle. All was still, and Sancho seeing a key in the gate, turned the monstrous lock. After going inside and locking the gate, lie placed the key under a large stone. He then walked up a large stairway. Just as he gained the top of the stairs he heard a scream, w hich seemed to come from the wall, but upon looking that way he saw' another key in the lock of a large iron door. I pon turning the key the door swung open and Sancho saw a beautiful maiden bound by thongs to the wall. As Sancho had no knife it wras some time before he released her, but as soon as he did, she cried, “Oh, noble youth, flee for your life. A cruel giant lives here and there are many other prisoners in the dungeons.” “Lead the way to the dungeon,” said Sancho. “I w ill either free them or perish in the attempt.” The girl led the way to the dungeon very quietly, and unlocking the door. Sancho said softly to the prisoners. Be quiet, lest the giant hear us.” The people, with Sancho in the lead, proceeded stealthily down the great hallway. Suddenly a terr ble cry was heard and they all turned to see Tors, the giant. He had been sleeping and had not heard Sancho freeing the pris oners. Now being very tired, Tors was in no mood for pleasure, anil as he came striding down the hallway, he shouted hoarsely: “Who dared to free my prisoners?” “I did.” said Sancho, bravely stepping to the front. “Then, by the curse of St. Dennis, you die,” cried the giant. “Hold,” cried the hero, “kill me and you shall starve, for 1 have the key t the castle.” This caused the giant to stop and consider. It was true. There were no provisions in the castle. Tors grew desperate and was on the point of speech, when Sancho said: “Tors, I will give the key of the castle to you on these conditions. First that you prove to me that you are immortal; second, that you free these people, for I have vowed never to come to terms with anv mortal.” “Ah,” cried the giant, this is easily done, but what shall I do to prove this?” “Make yourself so small that you can hide behind me without being seen.” replied Sancho. “Alright,” said the giant, “but wait until I get my wand.” Going into the room from which he had come. Tors soon reappeared with the wand. “Watch now,” cried Tors, as he waved the w'and above his head. Immediately he became small. Through THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR 11 this Sancho saw Tors’ great power, and quickly devised a scheme to do away with him. Running to a large jar, Sancho cried, Horrors, what have we here?” Tors, in h s excitement, rushed to I he jar, for he had thrown his sword of sharpness into it some time before. s soon as he reached the jar he reached up to the rim so that he could look into the jar. for he was very small now. Hut no sooner had Tors climbed u lie side of the jar than Sancho shoved him into it, and placing the i . ci it, grasped it in his strong arms and flung it out oif the window. The people who had been captives tha.iKeu the hero with tears in their eyes. Sancho married the maiden, who proved to be a princess of the castle. They changed the dungeons into beautiful rooms and lived happilv ever after.—C. K., ’14. A Little Girl’s Visit to Fairyland. A l'ttlc girl lay on the grass bv the brook, wondering what it was saying. As she listened she heard the sound of music. It came nearer and nearer, until she saw a very, very small boat— a pond-lilv boat filled with small fairies. The hairy Queen stood in the center of the boat. She was most b anti fill: she wore a golden crown on her head and carried a staff in her hand. The boat was anchored by a flat stone covered by moss. There the fa’ries stepped out of the boat upon the stone and began to dance and play. hen they grew tired of this, they began to eat a lunch of honey and dew. The child on the bank thought this a poor sort of lunch, and picked some ripe strawberries growing close by. and threw them to the fairies. Then the fairies saw her. and after talking among themselves, two of them approached the child and asked if they could do anything for her. ()h, let me go to Fairyland, she sa:d. ”1 long to go there more than to any other place.” “We seldom take children to Fairyland, but we will take you, for we know that you would not harm anything,” said one of the fairies. As the fairies spoke, she looked sad and said: “I’m too big; I could never go.” The fairies touched her with their little hands and told her to look into the water. She looked and saw a tiny, tiny child in a white dress and a pink-sun bonnet. The fairies then took her to the rocks where she learned to play their strange games. When they started for Fairyland, the child thought, “Now, 1 shall find the way to Fairyland and can go whenever I like.” But the fairies did not want her to know, so they put her to sleep and she knew noth'ng of her journey until she reached Fairyland. In this wonderful land it seemed to be sunset, for the sky was very red. the little birds were asleep in their nests, arid the flowers had closed their petals for the night. ‘ The Fairy Queen. Mab, took the child to her own home—a very beautiful house, in which the rooms were separated by cobweb curtains, and the dainty bed-covers were of pink rose petals. In the morning the fairies had breakfast of honey, fruit and fresh dew from the flowers, and the child found it very good. Queen Mab then took her to visit the fairy school, the birds, the flowers, and all the wonderful, beautiful things in this most beautiful land. Then the fairy bade her goodbye, and the child was rowed back to the bank by the fairies in their beautiful boat. And do you know, not the child, or any other child, ever was taken to Fa ryland again?—1. R., ’14. Pay Up. As every one knows, it takes money to support a puhlicat on of any sort, and the “M rror is no exception to this rule, besides the expenses of this year we have an old deficit to meet and arc badly in need of funds. From the foregoing it appears that we are justified in asking all subscribers to pay their subscr ptions A I' OXCE.

Care of the Exchanges. hy some people persist in throwing Exchang about and defacing them is beyond comprehension. It is an easy matter to find papers literally torn to pieces, while others are covered with all kinds of scribbling. oil would not think of throwing school property about or of marking up the reference books. Why then persist in ' doing so with the Exchanges? They are not yours to mark up at will, but the property of the school and as such should be taken care of. Exchange have even been found behind the radiators, when there is a shelf built expressly for them. This is the place for the Exchanges, and tit's is where the reader should place them as soon as through reading. If the Exchanges are not used with greater care thev will be taken awav entirely, and will remain in the hands of the staff alone. This would be a great loss to the school as a whole, as they are worth reading and enjoved l all, but is the only thing that can be done unless more care is taken of them. Minror Sub- It would not be fair to a few students in the school if we let scriptions. all have credit of getting subscriptions for the Mirror. W e feel it necessary to eulogize a bit in the columns where we are wont to sermonize. So far this year the burden of obtaining Mirror subscriptions has rested on the shoulders of a few. To Charles Franzwa. Russell White, and the Sophomore Class we give our thanks for the work they have done in behalf of the Mirror. Since the firs call for subscriptions these people have taken the initiative in this work. Their work is certainly appreciated by the school, and with the co-operation of a few more student’s the Mirror would be more than a financial success. What is the matter with the remainder of the students? Are they not interest'd or is it that they have not the necessary energy to act? Think it over and help push the good work along. 12 THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR n The New Debating League. Mondovi ILgh School has again started in a new field of endeavor, namely, the New Debating League. This league is composed of the following schools: Neillsville. Aicadia, I Hack River halls, and Mondovi. The purpose of this league is to promote the scientific study of debate. The league debates will be held some time dur ng February or March. I he w lining school in each league become-' a member of another league, etc., until the winning school in the state is determined. This state organization is under the auspices of Lawrence College ol Appleton. The question for this year's debate is: Resolved, That a state income tax is desirable. , As this is the first time that Mondovi has entered contests of this kind it is hoped that she will make a good showing. J his should not be very diffi- cult, however, because the school has for the last two years supported a debating society. Much enthusiasm has already been aroused over this question and keen competition for places on the teams will be the result. The Loot-Ball Season, I'or the first time in a number of years Mondovi was represented by a foot-ball team. Popular opinion, taking the most hopeful view, ordained that we would have a poor team. But the team and the coach, working under the most adverse difficulties, upset popular opinion. The most pessimistic among us had to acknowledge that we had a successful season, and even our most sanguine supporters were surprised at the progress made after the first game. Most of the time we did not even have a second team to work against, but the foot-ball men showed the true athletic spirit by fighting harder than ever. A great deal of credit should be given the coach, for without his conscientious work a foot-ball team would have been an impossibility. From the very first practice it was evident that he knew foot-ball from beginning to end. With a bunch of fellows who did not know a foot ball from a bean bag, lie succeeded in hammering a team that certainly was a credit to Mondovi. Do You Read the Newspapers? There is an old saying that ‘‘ignorance is . bliss, but if any student in our high school believes this he is up against a pretty stiff proposition. Because a student is going to school is no excuse for not knowing more about the political and public issues of the day. Perhaps the majority of the high school students lead the newspapers. In this way they keep in fairly good touch with the world at large. But a large percentage are indifferent to what is going on about them. If they do pick up a paper they confine their reading to the joke column alone. This is not very beneficial, because it does not tend to broaden the intellect. Is it not commendable to know the issues and events transpiring every day? It is well, indeed, to study past events that have forged the chains of history, but should a person remain totally ignorant of the things making history today? It is a fine asset to be able to converse intelligentlv on popular questions and be able to participate in discussions that are continually arising. So we beg of you to read the papers more and learn more of our own country and its quest:ons pertaining to life outside of the high school. Lauretta Hauptmann, 16, has withdrawn from school, her parents having removed to Kilhenny, Minn. Percy Claflin, our janitor, spent a week in the northern woods hunting deer, and was rewarded for his patience by bagging a nice fawn. Eli Holcomb acted as engineer in his absence. The question for the state debating league has been received and twelve boys are busy at work preparing for the tryout which will come the latter part of January. I he question, Resolved, 'I hat a state income tax would be beneficial, is an interesting one and presents a good field for argument in view of the recent close election. All students should remember that their outside readings must be done before the first of May. GET BUSY.

Twelve boys are working for the three teams. A juvenile band of almost forty pieces is busily at work under the direc-non of Mr. Cundey. Boys from both the grades and high school are members of th s band, and it is from this material that the future high school band members will be recruited. W hen the standings for the second six weeks were averaged it was found that the Sophomores had gained an average of 4 over that of the first six weeks, the Seniors 3 4, the Juniors 3 and the Freshmen 2. This shows better work all along the line. The classes now rank as follows in scholarship: Sophomores 1, Seniors 2, Juniors 3 and Freshmen 4. Among the high school visitors during the last few weeks were Mrs. Win. Ilelwig, Mrs. L. H. Howard, Mrs. Albert Hovev, Rodney Cooke, Mr Miles Brotzman.

New classes will be organized the second semester in the following subjects: Commercial Law, Commercial Geography. English Historv, Ex- pressive Reading. Physiology. American Literature, Advanced Algebra' Farm Mechanics and Agricultural Chemistry. The Senior teachers' training class will have their practice work in the grades during this semester. The following classes will be discontinued, as they are but one semester classes: Solid Geometry, Physical Geography, Elementary Science, Practical English M M. History. Rev. Pinkney gave a very interesting as well as instructive talk to the high school on Courtesy. He showed that courtesy is not alone a matter of tippiii -t ie hat to a lady, but that it is an inborn feeling which finds expression not alone m the presence of ladies but everywhere. He cited the deed of the Garv newsboy, Billy Rugh, as an example of true courtesy. We shall be pleased to hear Mr. Pinkney again. Hie Buffalo County Board at their session appropriated $50 annually for ihe County Spelling-Declamatory Contest. This is certainly a step in the light direction, and we wish to thank them for this material aid. Harold Hill has been out of school since the last part of October on account of illness. We are hoping to see him back soon. The schools were closed at noon on Tuesday, December 10 on account of an epidemic of scarlet fever which had broken out in the city. It was hoped to reopen Monday. December 16, but at the last minute this was deemed inadvisable and an early Xmas vacation was declared. Four weeks of no school at this time of the year is something unusual and should make lor good hard work during the winter months. The Nautilus reception for the Debating Club, which was to be held 1 ecember 13 and postponed on account of the closing of the schools, will be held in the near future. Wednesday Evening, November 20. 1912. The regular meeting of the Debating Club was held November 20.

The sale during the first few days totaled almost $30. or twice that of the corresponding tune last year. The total sale, together with the winners in each grade, will be announced in our next issue. I he business men of Mondovi certainly did Pie handsome thing by offering substantial prizes for the winners in each grade. This excellent spirit on the part of the business men of Mondovi would have led to an unprecedented sale if the schools had continued until the holidays.

A hrench scientist has discovered that a hypodermic injection of formic acid will cure the most obstinate case of laziness on record. Experiments have been made in France which have proved this conclusively. A tired type of Parisian hobo was the subject of an experiment. A few drops of formic acid were injected into his vaccination mark. The tramp cut and split four cords of wood that afternoon, and when night came refused to stop work, but was forced to. He was so enthusiastic that he sat up most of the night waiting for morning that he might again hie himself to the wood-pile and wrestle with the axe. Another subject for the experiment was a Paris copper. W ith a few drops of formic acid in his system the officer actually covered his beat once during the day. I hose who watched the experiment sav that not once while on duty did he fall asleep. One more experiment was made, on a messenger boy, who wore out two pairs of shoes in three hours delivering messages, and when his day s work was done pleaded to be permitted to work all night. Formic acid has not yet been tried on the woman who dallies to get her hat on straight, nor on slow trains, nor on Xmas shoppers, but we are now only in the infantile experimental stage with this wonderful “get busv drug.”—High School Students' Notice.

They brought out points of historical interest, as well as the principal legends connected with the cities. The last feature of the program, a German folk dance, given by six of the members in peasant costume, was greatly enjoyed by the society. This act of entertainment has a certain amount of educational value, and is a great factor in keeping up the interest of the students. The last issue of the Wisconsin Journal of Education has an interesting article on the folk dance in the public school. A great many of the public schools of the state have introduced the folk dance into their gymnasium and playground work. Where the folk dances are put on “in costume’’ they seem to create a desire among the pupils to become more familiar with the language and geography of foreign lands. u A, JQf: C R A I it V T Jl y 71 V V RM Mondovi High School Girls 26, Alumni Girls 12 For the third consecutive time the girls team of the high school defeated an Aliimm team on Now Year's afternoon by a score of 2fi to 12. As only four Alumni girl s appeared for this year’s game, they were re enforced by Luella Halveison at center. Both teams played as hard and as fast as could be expected after only a few prac tices. The game was interesting at all limes and the large holi lay crowd enjoyed the work of all, especially that of their old favorites Gladys Ward ’12.' Henrietta Johnson 11 and era Howard 09. The feature of the game from the standpoint of the “Old Grads was the excel ent guarding of Gladys Ward, the basket shooting aud floor work of Henrietta Johnson and YTera Howard. The high school team showed flashes of excellent team work, and with a little more practice would develop into another winning team. Frauces Broadtoot plnyed her usual brilliant floor game, and she together with Edna Halborg aud Eva Ellen tterger made possible the score of 26 to 12.

The Rime, while well played aud fast, was marr d by some rough work during the first half. With this the only game, at present, in prospect for tbe entire season, and with the correspond-ing lack of practice due to this fact, holding was much in evidence. This is a feature of the great indoor game which generally leads to rough work Before this year the Alumni have played this annual game with a view to giving the high school team a much needed holiday practice, and to help along the finances of the Athletic Associa tiou. This year the first motive was lacking and the result was a somewhat unsatisfactory game from the standpoint of the spectators. Everyone ueeds an incentive, and when the incentive is removed, efficiency cau not be secured. The game was featured bv the free throwing of Farriugton who added the point 8 out of 9 times, the floor work of Farrington and the Howard brother , the guarding of alker aud the close playing of Lockwood. For the Alumni Ruff's field basket, the work of Merritt and Solberg in the breaking up play , and the all around work of Broadfoot and Ellenberger stood out prominently. The Alumni were stronger at c ose work, while the high school team featured the open game The high school team showed flashes of fast team wor k which was really remarkable considering the fact that only 4 practices had been held before the game.

THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR 21 SP—:—f 1' 1 Doing? in the Departments 1--------------- DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. Verna E. Gillen, Instructor. :T1 S J 1 he course called Domestic Science, which is given in 0ur school, is in leality Domestic Economy, which is made up of two parts of Domestic Science and Domestic Art. Iuder Domestic Science is found the study of food and food principles, cooking, physiology, home nursing, chemistry, and household management. Domestic Art includes the study of art needlework, plain sewing, dressmaking, millinery, and textiles. Everything studied in the course is put into actual practice, so that it can be applied in the home. One of the chief aims is to leach the systematizing of work and the economy of materials and time. In cooking especial attention is given to the selection of material as to the qualitv regarding nutrition, the best method of preparation and combination, and Iasi, but very important, the serving. The Snow Drafting System is the one which is used in the sewing department of the school. My the use of this system patterns can be made for all garments, no matter what shape, size or style. I lie system consists of a scroll, by the aid of which all curved lines are perfected; a square, which is used to draw straight lines; a testing scale, to test the patterns after they have been completed; a tracer, to mark the seams: a set of measurements, tape measure, skirt chart, and instruction books. Drafting teaches the proportion and curves of the body; the designing of complicated patterns from foundation patterns and the use of patterns. 1 his work will appeal at once as being practical and the kind which will be used in after life, but it is no more practical than the other work done in this department. I his being the first year of the course, the work from the sixth grade through the two years of the high school must at the best have a sameness, as the foundation must be laid all along the line. I hit after this course has been in operation for a few years and the work which should be done in the sixth and seventh grade is done there, there will be a continued series of work from the sixth grade through the high school which will give the girl an insight into the relations of the home to the world at large, and which can not help but make them intelligent buyers of the necessities of life. Not alone will this course make the girls more intelligent buvers. which certainly is an important thing in the present day. but it will make them able to eliminate many little expenditures, such as the average dressmaking bill, etc. It will also make them see the true importance of the work of the home, and we hope that what is often called the drudgery of the home will be called the calling of the home-maker. Remember that visitors arc always welcome. If you wish to see the work in cooking, you can come either on Monday or Wednesday ; if vou wish to se ihe work in sewing, come on Tuesday or Thursday. If vou wish to see the girls at the work of cleaning up, then Friday is your day. 11 THK HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. cll.e T. Shea, Instructor. The Commercial Course offered in our high school this year includes a two years’ course in Shorthand and Tvuevvr.timr. This work is offered to luniors and they are expfcTeTto finish the work in their Senior year. 1 he Graham system of Shorthand is taught. Students taking this work have the opportunity of learning to operate three styles of typewriters, namely, .Monarch, Remington and Smith-Premier. The touch system of typewriting is insisted upon. While it is customary for a student to take both subjects, we have a few who take only the typewriting. W e offer a course in Double Entry llookkeeping to Sophomore students. Instead of having a single period for recitation with outside time for prepara-uon, a double recitation period is provided for. I his enables the student to do all of this work under direct supervision. 1 his work continues throughout the entire year. Resales the bookkeeping proper, special drill on modern methods of business forms, systems of-filing, indexing, etc., is given. Combined with the bookkeeping a drill on penmanship is given, the pur pose being to improve the individual handwriting of the class rather than to teach a particular system. . . In Commercial Arithmetic we aim to give a course ot training intended to developlskill in solving”-problems with rapidity and accuracy. A thorough review of the fundamental operations is given, an abundance of practic.il problems are solved, and an effort made to familiarize students with short processes of computation in general use among business men. iwtira) English and Spelling are taught during the first semester of the ITesfimen year. Students are encouraged to discriminate in the use of the common words of our language, selecting the word that will best convey the meaning intended. Many words similar in meaning are studied, and used m sentences to illustrate their meaning. The study of ..-.-ini .ornphv- is a part of the hreshmen work lot the second semester? This subject treats of the commerce of the different countries of the world, both domestic and foreign. The various commodities and the disposition of same, for home consumption or foreign trade arc studied. V’arious means of transportation are studied and compared, and the chief industrial centers are located. The principal employments in which civilized man is engaged, namely. Agriculture. Manufacture. Mining, Commerce, and Transportation, are made the basis for much of the study of Commercial Geography. All students who take the full Commercial Course are not required to take the work in English History during the second semester tf the Junior vear. but instead can take the work iii l imienqalJ-Jiy The purpose of this work is to give an understanding of contracts! papers, etc. I lie work at the best must be of an elementary nature, but will give the student an introduction into the legal world, which will be of benefit to him in alter life. About seventy students are enrolled in the t ommercial work, twenty-eight of whom are taking Shorthand and Typewriting. Seven typew riters are kept busy most of the time. Visitors are always welcome. THE MICH SCHOOL MIRROR 23 AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. Jas. C. Mutch, Instructor. ith the advent of a Department of Agriculture into our h'gh school conies the ever present cry of the community, “Is t practical?” This cry is characteristic of the wideawake populace which demands full value for ali expenditures and the best that can he had for the education of its children. It is our purpose to place you, the public of Mondovi and vicinity, in such a posi-t on that you can answer the aforementioned much asked question in the affirmative. A study of the principles of A gr culture has a cultural as well as an intrinsic value. The former may he derived from the courses offered in the curriculum of any well organized high school. Thus it :s evident that the chief function of the course now under cons deration is in the latter, w hich means increasing the interests of school children along such lines as will enable them to produce a slightly better crop, a product a trfle cheaper, or in a measure to eliminate the drudgery of farm work by showing them what a wonderful thing it really is to get from nature all that nature will give. This will reverse the tendency to leave the farm for the glowing light of the city. Two new subjects will be offered at the beginning of the second semester in this department. They are Agricultural Chemistry and Farm Mechanics. These courses will be greatly handicapped because of the lack of equ pment and laboratory space. On this account the work in Chemistry this year must consist mainly in the study and testing of dairy products and the physical examination and testing of soils, rather than to a study of applied chem’strv. The “Farm Mechanics w ill begin with the elements of drafting and lettering, so that the student may understand the approved methods of construction of farm buildings and conveniences from blue print plans. After this road-mak’ng and culvert-construct:on will be gone into. The high school receives the leading agricultural journals, and ha also acquired a number of up-to-date and valuable books on various phases of farm work. These are at the disposal of the patrons of the school as well as for the students. These papers will from now on be kept at the school for one month, when they will lie taken to the city library, where they can be secured at any time. The books can be drawn for a period of two weeks, with the privilege of a renewal for the same time. Conte and makie use of what we have, and if you are interested in the advancing of a good cause, remember that we are always pleased to receive additions to our library. The space allowed this department in the remaining issues of the Mirror will be taken up largely with articles or suggestions for the farmers of this locality. These subjects will deal with questions that are important to all. I (e who grows two blades of grass w here but one grew before is of great value to humanity. Carry this idea into its largest meaning and you will realize the practical value arid greatness of the work we are trying to do. The United States, while it leads in the producFou of wheat, raises much le s per acre than Germany. Tlr’s is not because the land in our country is le --fertile than that of Germany, but because we are not getting all from the land that it will yield.

If you have anybody working for you and they lie down on their job, lon’t fire them at once—just call them in and tell this story: Down in Virginia a farmer had an ox and a mule that he hitched together •o a plow. One night, after several days of continuous plowing, and after the •x and the mule had been stabled and provendercd for the night, the ox sa d to the mule: “We’ve been working pretty hard, let’s play off sick tomorrow and lie iiere in the stalls all day.” “You can if you want to,” said the mule, “but I believe I’ll go to work. So the next morning when the farmer came out the ox played off sick, i’he farmer bedded him down with clean straw, gave him fresh hay, a bucket . .f oats and bran mixed, left him for the day and went forth with the mule . lone to plow. All that day the ox lay in his stall, chewed his cud and nodded, slowly 1 linked his eyes and gently swished his tail. That night, when the mule came in. the ox asked how they got along plowing alone all day. “Well,” said the mule, “it was hard and we didn’t get much done, ;:id---” “Did the old man have anything to say about me? interrupted the ox. “No,” replied the mule. “Well, then,” went on the ox. “I believe I'll play off again tomorrow; it was certainly fine lying here all day and resting.” “That’s up to you,” said the mule, “but I’ll go out and plow.” So the next day the ox played off again, was bedded down with clean raw, provendered with hay, bran and oats, and lay all day nodding, blinking, . hewing his cud and gently swishing his tail. When the mule came in at night the ox asked again how they had gotten : ' ng without him. “About the same as yesterday,” replied the mule, coldly. “Did the old man have anything to say to you about me?” again interrupted the ox. No,” replied the mule, “not to me, but he did have a long talk with the ’ itcher on the way home.”—Ex. ER }BOD J I AVIGH “Tommy,” said the teacher, “can you tell me the meaning of ‘repentant’? “Yes, ma’am, answered Tommy. “It’s how a fellow’ feels when he get' caught at it.” Nobody Helped Him. A story of Scotch honesty is printed in a Dundee daily. A small boy had taken a prize for an exceptionally well drawn map. After the examination the master, a little doubtful, asked the lad: “Who helped you with this map, James?” “Nobody, sir.” “Come, now% tell me the truth.

B.—“Say, I have an idea.” Senior—“I believe you have; I can hear it rattle. A Freshman (examining a broken window)—“Gee, this is more serious than I thought. It is broken on both sides.

Miss Hahn (in German IV)—“Lynn, is that the way you read it when you prepared your lesson?” L. II.—“No, worse than that.” THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR 2 . Quite Enough. During a discussion of Hie fitness of things in general, some one asked: “If a young man takes his best girl to the grand opera, spends $8 on a supper after the performance, and then takes her home in a taxicab, should he ki-s her goodnight?” n obi bachelor, who was present, growled, “I don’t think she ought to expect it. Seems to me he lias dcuie enough for her. —Ex. Inflated—Punctured. “Our college won.” They did? Kali! Kali! Rah! What did they win?” “The debate.” “Oil, pshaw. —Ex. A Treat Coming.

You can’t drive a nail with a sponge, no matter bow hard you soak.it.” Joseph, I should think that you would be ashamed to be in the same class with boys so much smaller than yourself.” Well, mother, replied Joe. “I don’t look at it in that way. It makes me feel fine to see how proud the small boys are to be in the same class with a big boy like me.”—Ex. Tommy's Aunt—“Won't you have another piece of cake. Tommy? Tommy (on a visit)—“Xo, I thank j'ou.” Tommy’s Aunt— You seem to be suffering from a loss of appetite.” Tommy— That ain’t loss of appetite. What I’m sufferin' from, is politeness.
