Text from Pages 1 - 222 of the 1916 volume:

Qdhlalguma Taken from the poem Virginia Oh, where is the land more fair today, Than our own Oklahomag Where the days are brighter, the hours more gay, Than are found ,in Oklahoma! Where the birds make music the Whole day long And the dark days are brightened with laughter an lf you wish to prosper, come, join in our throng, And live in Oklahoma. Golden wheat-fields and prairies wide You'l1 find in Oklahomag With health abounding on every side, In our own Oklahoma. . d song Where the red man roamed in the days gone by, Over the greenest of prairies, neath bluest of skies A land wild and free as the coyote's cries, Is beautiful Oklahoma. Oh, the balmy breezes and perfumed air That you find in Oklahoma, Are not to be equalled any Where Outside of Oklahoma. From the fields of clover, and tasseled corn, Sparkling like pearls .in the dewy morn, Sweet fragrance and music to us isbornl In delightful Oklahoma. From every nook some sound is heard All the time in Oklahoma, The humming of bees, or the song Delights us in Oklahoma. The katydids' song through the quiet night And the cock's shrill crow .in the breaking light, And the lark's glad notes in his early flight, Makes one learn to love Oklahoma. -Leona Edmondson of a bird 2 3 l 1 w f ., , . .

Its memberS, about Seventyiive ,in number, gathered in the U. P. S. from the four corners of the earth. They were one of the largest and greenest crowds that ever trod the halls of an insti- tution. The second week after the opening of school announcement was made' ln chapel for all classes to organize. The Freshmen met in the History 1'00m of old Wilkin Hall, and elected Frank Brewer, president, with Willimae Crawford as Secretary. As Crimson Rambler boosters they were 110i SUFOUS- In football they managed to take fourth place. In basket ball they won second Place- In track they managed 'to getthird place. The girls won second P19-Ce in basketball- At last they were sophomores. Now they were far advanced in their estima- tion over the preceding year. This year Virgil Haldeman was made the executive over the uncontrollable crowd. This year they thought more about grades ,and social life in -severalty. At least no social affairs were given, .3l'0h0l1gh Pic- nics and parties were considered many times in the class meetings. t The athletic work was more progressive than that of the P1'eVi011S Yeaf- In football, with Bob Schwab, captain, they escaped with third place. In basketball, under the leadership of Captain Smith, they received second place- In track with Barclay captain, they won fourth place. The class returned in September of 1914,with almost the same members as the previous year with a few additionals. Ohticers were elected at our first, meet- ing, with Wesley Ricks as President. Our first social function came the second month of school, when the class on two large hayracks, took ajaunt to the placid shores of the Chikaskia. Football season came and went. Again the Juniors outpointed their rivals, and won the inter-class football championship. - Again another victory was added, when the Junior lads by their speed and accuracy on the basketball court, won the championship. In the interclass meet the Junior tracksters were forced to content themselves with second place, being pitted against old and more exy cf-d rivals. The first thing the class did after it had started on the it year's work was to elect A. Ray Smith president of the class. The class soon realized that they were to put out the Boomer. After some discussion, and a few caucus meetings of- ficial consent was given from the ofhce for the Seniors to put out an annual., The staff was next elected, with George A. Parker as Editor in. Chief and A. Ray Smith, Business Manager. When the class football games were started it was soon found that the Seniors chance for first place was slim, as they had eight men wearing emblems. This weakened the class team, but with this hand.icap, the Seniors won second place in football. The boys won the championship in basketball, and had four men on the school team. The girls Won second place in basketball. In track they will un- doubtedly win firstfplace as the majority of track men are Seniors. On March 17th the Juniors entertained the Seniors with the Annual Junior- Senior Banquet. The class started in with 63 members and if physics doesn't cast them by the wayside, there will be sixty graduates in May, the largest class in the history of the school. i 42 X v X '11 I E -. f w , . .

A more bashful bunch was never seen, they were young, fresh and green, but they were finally scheduled and managed some way to get to their classes the next day, although they were laughed at and made fun of by their honorable sophomore brothers and sisters who had already passed that stage. - When we entered school the next fall many of our classmates were not with us, but new ones came to take their places. We elected Scott Squires for our class president, and by his guardianship we passed through a very successful year. Our social affairs were very numerous. We went on two picnics out to the Chickaskia River and had a masquerade party the night of Hallowe'en. In the fall of '15 we came back as dignified Juniors full of enthusiasm, with a very enthusiastic class president, Roy Barclay. Our girls have won the champion,- ship in basketball, We are sorry to Say that our class was so unfortunate rs to not have enough boys for a football team. We have given our annual Junior-Senior Banquet and now feel that our work for this year is nearly completed. Next year we hope to come back, keeping up our enthusiasm, loyalty, and devotion and to graduate with as much honor as those preceding us. 53 X ' ff ,J .

Then it came time for examinations and the class kissed one another goodbye and departed for their summer vacation. : When school opened, following the summer vacation of 1915, the class was called together once more to organize, and elected as president, Oren Roberts, and as sec- retary and treasurer, John Blubaugh. The Class seemed to have a more energetic and determined sp.irit than they 'did the year before. ' ' l ini the class 'games of football they easily won championship under the leadership of their captain, Mr. Francis Bush. They won from the Freshmen, Seniors, and Commercials, the scores being 37-7, -14-0, and 13-12 respectively.

We played footballfagainst the Sophomores. It was a very close game and up to the lastftwo-Y' or- three -'minutes the score was even, when the Sophs made a tduchdown I This-left the score 12 to 7 in the -Sophomores favor. - The basket ball games were very exciting. Both the boys and girls did ex- cellent work, The Sophomore and Senior girls were easily defeated. The Sopho- more boys however were not so easily defeated, although we came out on top. The Freshmen, bothboys and girls, won every game they played up till the champion- ship gamef which was ,played March the second.

Out from this institution comes men and women who's one object in life, if they wish to. be successful, must work, to become more efhcient. Persons must haven definite goal-clearly seen objective .point-and they must know what they want to do with their physical, mental and moral power. The biggest .business is said .to be the building of men. This work ha- a completion in many institutions of learning. Commercial advantages to thc beginn.ing business man' are becoming more and more plentiful and convenient. His experience must be greater and more educational than years ago. So it is we who must study and cultivate the best dc- velopments for the business world.

This society cn- isted under this name until February, 1908, when the namefwas changed' to the Senate ,Literary Society. It did not take the members of the newly organized society long to establish a cred.itable position in their school. The young who had ,the power of initiative and were alert to the opportunities which meantlpractical criperien-ce, were later commended for their literary work. ' ' ' i From the first the membership of the society has been small enough to make effective work possibleg and it is not to be regretted that the societyfhas been conser- vative in the selection of new members. The boys who have remained in society were not those who wished to follow the line of least resistance but rather those who were willing to follow that of suustained effort. They have not asked merely what pleasures will this bring to me individually, in what manner will this society work immediately contribute toward my earning capacity, but ,in what way will the knowledge gained from society work strengthen me so that I will not drag on my associatesg so that I will not only pull my own weight, but be the means of ,inspiring and encouraging 'others to greater effort. In 1915 the lively, industrious spirit that prevailed in the Senate Society could be detected long before the Spring contests, Again our contestants put their society work to a test and the result WaS a rank of second place among the five literary societies. James Young and Philip Wilbur won an overwhelming v.ictory in the debate. The remainder of points which counted toward our high rank in the Spring contest were won by Sam Aikins, Oratorg Irvin Gard, Essayistg and Ralph Miller, Reader. Our society men have not only proved themselves efhcient in society contests, but in the other activities of school as well. In 1914 Dennis Almack was Editor- in-Chief of the Boomer, member of the Senior play castg Elmer Moody was Editor- in-Chief of the Crimson Rambler, member of the Senior play cast, author of Class Will, winner of the University of Chicago scholarshipg Charles Roff, Jr, was Editor- in-Chief of the Crimson Rambler and was also class orator. Of the Senators grad uating in 1915, Sam Aikins was Class President in '12 and '13, member of Senior play castg Cecil Barclay was Business Manager of the Crimson Ramblerg Ralph Miller was President of the Senior Classg Raymond Scrugham, Editor-in-Chief of the Crim- son Ramblerg James Young, Class Orator, Those who witnessed the Senior Play will remember how much of its success was due to the work of Sam Aikins, Erwin Walter, and Ralph Miller. . Another significant fact that points towards the ambition and tick t 't ' s - o-1 -iveness of the Senators who have been graduated since the last Boomer was published is that they are all continuing their school work either as pupils or teachers, Several are supporting themselves at different universities, Among these are: Charles L. Roff, Jr., and Frank Balcerkiewicz at the University of Oklahomag Jesse Romig who is stenographer for the Dean of Men, at the University of Illinois. , I When the members of the society have learned to never give up when they have gone into something worth while, and have said, We will do it, nothing on earth can prevent them from having what they want-a banner 76 society second to none. ' 2-is. f --rx V X' f. I. - .N 7- The Fergusonian Society was 'organized during the winter of 1903 for the purpose of developing the literary talent of school boys and for the purpose of giving parlia- mentary practice to those desiring same. Mark Shartel was the one chosen to fill the president's chair for the first time. Since then there have been new presidents chosen each term. This gave a chance to the best men to rise to the high office even when there were only two terms in the school year, and since the number has been increased to three there is even a greater chance for the ambitious member. There were twenty- two members during the first year, all being charter members. During the first year a contest was held with the Athenian Society, in which the Fergusonians were victorious. The second year the membership increased to fifty- three, and again the Fergs were victorious in the Spring contest. It was this year that our present critic, 1-larry Winebrenner, acted in capacity of society essayist in the contest. The third year for the society seemed to be a rather hard one, the membership falling to twenty-eight. The society divided during this year and some of the former members formed what was known for a short time as the Adelphia Society. However, it soon died. The contest was lost this year to the Athenian Society. During the next year the membership increased to thirty-nine, and with the in- creased membership came increased interest. Th society again won first place in the contest. As in the former enumerated years, the same winning and losing was maintained and the society seemed to progress slightly until in 1912, when they again came to the front and took first place in the Spring contest. Itnwas during this year that Mr. Finley, who had always acted as advisor for the society, left, and as youth first in the world alone, we put forward a bold front, we worked hard, and above all, we made progress. There were forty-three members during the year. In the year 1913 the membership increased to forty-six. Mr. Pechstein acted as our advisor. The society won first place in the Spring contest. The society was also successful and won first place in the contest of 1914. During that year Miss Lois Borland acted in the capacity of Critic. The greatest number of active members ever graduated from school went forth to the world during this year. The society was almost depleted. The burden of carrying on the further work fell to under- classmen. Upon them depended the future of the society. Their work stands as a showing of their achievement, even granting that the society was not successful in the contest of 1915. Mr. Hopkins acted as advisor and- critic during that year. The school year of 1915-16 has been such that it IS hardto tell of the work done by the society. The Spring contests have been done away with on account of the ex- tremely antagonistic spirit which was always prevalent at the contests. Instead of having the contests, the school 'was considered as a state, Utopia by name, and a general election held. Candidates delivered speeches and .general party feeling ran high, The Hashrapers, a party formed from the Fergusonian soclety, were suc- cessful in landing the greater number of votes, hence elected the. majority of their L-andidateg, The presidents for the year were Virgil Haldeman, Wilbur Guild, and S. Earl Trekell, each holding office in the order named, as there were three terms. 77 ..-. A' Fergusonian Society Motto: A journey of a thousand miles is begun by a step. ' Emblem: Ostrich.

A 1 gg ' me In time year 1902, yvhen the University Preparatory School first came into existence, the students were organized into a rhetorical class. In this class they Weie to iemavm until it was seen t-hat they were capable of forming societies. lt was not 10115, 11011' ever, until they reached this condition. Two societies were o1'S21H1Z9d, Af-99111219 fm' the girls. and Fergusonian for the boys. U ' U Verne Shartel was chosen first president of the Athenian Soclety. I V At first only girls of the upper classes belonged to the society. Later girls ot t110 C ' class, sub preparatory, were admitted. The Athenians took for their motto Labor omnia vincit, which means labor con- quers all things. This' motto was given to the society by Miss LUCY Gfeell, H1911 3 member of the society, since a member of the facultyof our school. They took as their model Athenia, the goddess of wisdom and of household arts. They chose blue and white as their colors and the white Carnation as their flower. Alter the organization of the two societies, they began to have contests. The first of these was held in 1903. The Athenians were beaten by a very small per cent. In 1904 another contest was held with the same outcome, but in 1905 the Athenians won. In 1,906 the membership of the Athenian Society was so large that they found neces- sary to make a division, accordingly twenty-seven girls sent in their resignations and founded a new society, to which 'they gave the name Literatae. .The work done -by the Athenians in 1907 was good, though they did not win in the spring contest. lu 1908 the Fates were again unpropitious, and fair Athenia went down in defeat. But in 1909 the Athenians won the v' -t 'f l tory may come. ln the year 1912 the Athenians won over the Sorosis in basket ball In 1913 tl . . iey won the debate, and also won over the Literatae in basket ball with a score of 22,-2 Th f A 1 ' V - , . - . ey u on soconc place in the essay in 1914, and wele society champions in basket IC 011, slowing that through defeat vic- ball. ln 1915, instead of holding their annual reception, they used the monev in the treasury and a special collection, to send to the sufferers- in Belgium, H The present outlook of the Athenian Society is hopeful. 84 . 1 eww 1: 7 Q- f 1 1, 6,1 H ., ,, '- Gfficers President .......... ....

A. of this institution is a source of inspiration to the entire student body of this school. In order to rank with other organizations and to get the best results from our own, we have sent some of our live wires to several Y. M. C. A. con- ventions in our own state. I In 1915 We sent Virgil Haldeman, then our president, with Paul Jones and Omer Siler to the State Y. M. C. A. Convention held in Tulsa. These fellows came hack to us full of good news and sunshine which has been a great help to us. ' ln the sprintf of 1916 we had the pleasure of sending uve delegates to the conven- tion held in Stillwater. They were Virgil Haldeman, VVilbur Guild, Hugh Alls'iau,Q'h, Victor Ingram and Paul Jones. Everyone of these fellows brought back to us Glad Tidings of Great Joy, which reinforced our strength again. The work of our organization has broadened exceedingly this vear. 'We had the nnrcserved co-operation of the nresident of our school and the faculty in helping us to do good work and in the right direction. A number of the men in the faculty have given us instructive talks on the different problems of every day life. Our ai-n for the coming year is to have the business men of our town speal-: occa- sionally, ard we expect to carry out the Bible study of the life of Christ. At the close of this year we are glad to have the opportunity of sending two dolc- frates. Scftt Souvrns. who is o president. and Erwin VValter, to the Thirty-ninth Tn- tcrn 'tional Young Men's Christan Association convention to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, Mry 1?-16. WVe expect and wiil doubtless receive some valuable ideas from this great convertion, Our chief aims are to develop healthy bodies, clean minds and spiritual growth. Our past has been good but we are endeavoring to make our future batter. 91 Y. W. C. A. Cabinet it it 9 1 5 . V 1 Y. W. C. A. Our. Y. W. C. A. 'has been a live organization in school for the last two years. The main sources of inspiration were the weekly devotional meetings conducted by lady members of the faculty, and also by girls of the Association. In 1914-15 the Association sent a Christmas box filled with clothes, dolls and other toys to the little Belgium children. Miss Nelsie Starr was sent to Dallas. Texas, to Luc Y. W. LJ. A. convention held there, as a delegate from this chapter. In 19-16, the Misses Dorothy Cox, Ruth Muskrat and Leona Edmondson Went as delegates to the great Southwestern Field Conference at Oklahoma City. The Association has been a success, having to a great extent fulfilled its mission.

Frank Brewer Business Manager Editur-in-Chief In September, 1905, the students of the State School at Tonkawa voted to publish a school paper. This paper was known as the Purple and White. lt was published monthly, and consisted of four pages. The first editor was Gurnie M. Moss. Blanch Campbell was business manager. ' ' At a mass meeting in September, 1906, the students elected, from their own num- ber, those persons whom they wished to represent them in the manage cnt of the school organ. It was also voted tc change the name from Purfle and White to the Crimson Rambler. The first editor of the Crimson Rambler was J. Raymond Mahoney, with Lonnie P. Payne as business manager. This paper was publishncl monthly in the form of a magazine and was devoted exclusively to students of the school, who con- tributed literary material in the form of short stories, essays and poems. Aside from this, a division was given to athletics, organizations, locals and editorials. The paper passed through the years unchanged from this form until it was decided, in the fall of 1914, to chgnge the governing of the paper. It was decided by those having proper authority, that the paper could he run more econoniically anl more satisfactorily on a new plan. This -plan, as adopted, was that a council, consisting ot' one member from each of the iive different classes, be selected. This council of five members elects the entire staff, and has general control of it. The business 1 l'12g'61' was to be paid a commission and all bills were to be paid by the treasurer. This lan .' D has proven satisfactory inasmuch as it gave the paper a larger margin of income. In the fallxof 1915 it was foundthatsa weekly paper would be more widely appre- ciated than a monthly. Pt a staff meeting in December, it wrs l 1 IWlTi'lf7llSlV vcted to launch the Crimson Rambler as a weekly journal instead of a monthly magazine. Almost immediately certain former sources of material deelinecl to furnish any matter other than poems or very long stories. At this point the Journalism students came to the rescue and saved the Rambler' by furnishing fresh news for every issue. The Rambler as a weekly newspaper is devoted to all kinds of local news of interest the school spirit running atla high pitch. It also devotes space to literary matter and organizations, when copygot reasonable length and suitable nature is furnished. The Rambler as a weekly paper has brought many praiseworthy comments to its managementgand this school. The careful guidance and management of the Rambler is, in a larfre measure. due to the editor-in-chief, W. Frank Brewer, and business manager, S. Earl Trekell, who have toiled along, often under great discouragements, while now, the Rambler is read every week by more people than at any other time in its history. It certainly has a bright outlook for the next year. 94 1sSg5igQ MB1QMQffV gg. Q W. g 1, .,,. QM Q A is 233795 f W Eu , L45 M Qm Vf L Sang if Q? A 3 S 'z my 5 Wa f!

Hopkins, is held in high esteem by the srmieiits, a teacher. The common expression heard in remarking upon some problem is, Well, 'if I ean't understand this when he ex-plains it, nobody else can make nie see Qt. , A . The Laboratory, a corner of which is shown hon 'another page, is very efficiently equipped. It contains practically all thc necessary apparatus for good laboratory work. Although several shipments of delicate instruments were delayed on account-of the difhctilty of obtaining anything from foreign countries in the pwayfof scientific ap- paratusg nevertheless the experimental work was .carried on according 'to the plan laid out at firstly The Laboratory equipment is gradually increasing and it his .the earnest hope ,of every student that it will soon equal equipment which the sfchool liadj, before Wilkin Hall was burnel. -Q . f A The test used in the Laboratory is not one which involves minute physical prob- lems and impractical experiments, but deals with experiments which are of practical use to a citizen in his everyday life. The class perform-s such experiments1a.s deter- mining the efliciency of different machines -a water motor or inclined plane for ex- ample. Other experiments such as determining the amount of heat in a cubic foot of gas: used in town, or an investigationfof the action of eleetromotive-'forces, Ori' of the variQus phenomena which occur in the study of light, are equallyf 'lJ1'HCti0al and have been performed in the Laboratory of this School. K Q ' V Q A 99 ' . 1 , , .W ,E My dear - Frances: - ' I '- Please excuse my negligence about awriting, as we have been so busy. House- cleamng is nowiin full swing and as it is my first without Mama's supervision it is rather hard. Without my.course in the State School I could not manage at all, but it is not so bad now. One thing that would ordinarily be very troublesome is the hard water. When we first -came here I had a hard time with it but George helps me and we. analysed it as we did in the laboratory at school and, of course, then we knew how to soften it. We found that it contained a great deal of Calcium Sulphate so we use Sodium Carbonate to soften it. It surely is a help. ' You remember my blue serge suit? Well, a month ago I was traveling and got some orange Juice on it. It took the color out and I felt so bad but I thought of what we were taught in Chemistry, so I got ten cents worth of Ammonia and now my skirt looks as good as Unew. One night George got some ink 'on his shirt. At first I thought the shirt .was ruined but I tried Chloride of Lime and you could never tell that there was any ink on it. You said you wanted to know what poor George got to eat. I will send you a list of our meals for one day. For Breakfast, grapes, shredded wheat, cream, sugar, poached eggs, rolls, and coffee, for Luncheon, roast beef, sandwich, buttermilk, and lemon pie, for Dinner, olives, baked potatoes, ham, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, French dressing, whole wheat bread, butter, apple tapioca pudding. Now, do-you think he is abused? That menu is prepared so that each person will get just what dietitians say that the body needs. Don't you think it would taste good at the same time? I am having fine luck with my bread. I always liked to do it but careful measure- ments and the use of the clock and thermometer have done away with even an occa- sional failure. I am also an expert at biscuit making. It is a hard matter though to get baking powder here that does not contain Alum, and I simply will not use Alum baking powder since we studied and tested it in the laboratory. At first I had to use it or Phosphate powders and the Phosphate keeps so poorly, but now I can get the Cream of' Tartar baking powder. That's another proof that the grocers will get what the people want if they demand it. The people here were so impressed with the idea that a patent medicine could cure any and everv ailment. They seemed to think me an atheist or fanatic when I did not believe they could cure anything. I had copies 'of the Technical Educator sent to some of them and it has surely worked a change here. When one woman got the copy that gave the analysis of Peruna she was very much excited to think what she had done. bThe word Alcohol frightens her beyond measure, and to think she had taken so much. fOf course she had never read the label.j She even broke every Peruna bottle she had, Patent medicines do not stay long where the Technical Edu- cator comes. I must Close but let me advise you, although you are only a Freshman now, to Day Special attention to your CheYf1iS'C1'Y UeXt Ye-31' for it will Pay- Lovinglyw LUCILE. 101 Modfzl Training .4 1 , 4, in , Poultry Club A Poultry Club was organized by Prof. C. E. Johnson, head of the' Department of Agriculture, during the winter term. The purpose 'of the clublis to interest students in raising poultry, to teach them modern methods, and secure co-'operation among the members. About fifty students joined the club. Through the efforts of'Mr. Johnson a 100 egg incubator, the Safety Hatch, was donated to the club by the One Minute Waslier Company of El Reno, Okla., free. This incubator has been placed--in President Glover's basement and is now hatching out its first setting. The students are taken over eyery few days to learn how to operate the machine. ' V Visits are made once a week to various houses in and -around Tonkawa, where good types of poultry is kep. The good and bad points of these chickensare studied. The students also talk with the owners of these Hooks, about their various successes and failures, their best methods, etc. ' W . '- A requisition has been sent in to the Board of Affairs to secure fencing for five poultry lots east of Wilkin Hall on the Campus. A' Hne double poultr-y1house has al- ready been built and is ready to be moved on the yards. - A Prof. F. F. Foster, Athletic Dircetor and assistant in Agriculture, is assisting in the work of the club. The club has been the means of encouraging many new recruits to start into the work of raising poultry, and has given valuable aids to those already engaged inhthat work. It has also been a great hedp to the people in town who have been raising poultry, as it has stimulated them to use better and newer methods, to work :for a better grade of poultry. 10.3 R- Qi ' - N 3-ff-:F 'g - W 2- 'fy '?'Q 1- . - Q -r S- .1 x .4 - - - ffm' '- ax :i g-v -5 wx.

'lhe following report of E. Spinello French, director in printing, just submitted to President Glover, is eloquent in its statement of marvelous facts: ' President Glover: .

SPINELLO FRENCH. N Such a showing must necessarily remove every doubt as to the wisdom of State institutions doing their own work in the graphic and mechanic arts. it is not the primary purpose of the school to manufacture printers. To enable boys and girls to either become intelligent producers, or wise users of printing, is the motive. 106 4 1. Walter H..

Hlf Members of the Class of 1916 and Fellow' Alumni: The memories of the good times once enjoyed upon the campus of U. P. S. come back -to me vlvidly at this time. The friends I made there are still dear friends to me even though I hear from them but seldom. The things learned there have meant much to me, even though I may have forgotten more than l ever learned. The experiences which have grown out of the two years spent at U, P. S. have become dear to me and today l would not trade them for the experiences of any man. The associations which 1 was privileged 'to enjoy with such men as G. W. Finley, Samuel Quigley, U. G. Du- back, Al L. Peer and others on the faculty of 1908-10, are precious recollections of the old school days. The unrealized touch which I had with those men and women who so willingly sacrificed for the interests of every student i11 the school, will never be for- gotten on 1ny part. ALUMNI NOTES To the Alumni of the U. P. S. Do you realize that it is just ten years since the first regular class was graduated from the U. P. S.'? The graduating class of 1906 was made up of the following: Blanche Campbell, Vernon Walling, Nina Yount, Howard iStringyl Browne, William Lffheesel Truesclale, Louis tflhigj Reed, Lulu lStumpyJ Gregory, Edith and Ethel Hack and Billy Barnhill, Ella Kumler, Delphia Walker, Gurnie Moss. Helen Snook, Lucy Green and'Py Harms. When we graduated we felt we were a 'great bunch and indeed we think so yet. We s'hould.all admit, however, that some illustrious classes have followed us, and no doubt the present class will out shine them all. At least one would think so from the reports. Very cordially yours, Chicago, Illinois. W. P. I-lAl'ZlN'IS. ' Here's to the Old Schoolf' may its fame inc1'ease: May it forge on forever through war and peace, For warm and dear ius my memory yet, Of those happy days I'1l ne'er forget, Ot the hours ol' work and hours of play . From my freshman year to the parting day. It gave me new armor wherein to fight. And I Wish it good luck from morn till night. And Where'er you find me, Alumnus dear, We'll link our hands with real gocnl cheer, And 'drink together one wholesome toast, May its boundless glory be never lost. To the Alumni of the U. P. S. J spent last summer and fall at the Central State Normal, and at present engaged in teaching a large school near Marlow. l do not know where I will be th's summer. The longer I am away from U. P-. S. the 'greater becomes my respect for her and the work she is doing. I wonder if some of you are too close to the tree to see the forest. ' Yours sincerely, HOMFIR P. K ING. Marlow, Oklahoma. To the Alumni of the U. P. S. Since graduation our class has separated beyond having an all-present roll call, yet I here welcome your good will and wish you success. May the history of our class inspire you to meet your problems and win out for its glory. Class, are we not prold of the large percent that are pushing to the front? May I say to the present graduating class that the test of your ability will soon be put to a greater strain. But remember that the same power that made your scholar- ship will give you a place in the business world if you apply it. The world judges you by what you can do and how well. Believe in your work, use your head, and do it IE' a. finish are three recipes of success. lt is not the kind of work, be it honorable., in which there are not opportunities. Let your ideas culminate into artualities. conwmri your high ambitions into practibilities, start at the beginning oi? your work that yon may remove the causes of failure and pave your way to success. Yours sincerely, Oklahoma City. 110 BRYCE GREENSHIELDS, A- 1:1 .:.' tv- W.: . fs- fe . 1 From the sun-kissed hills of the 'LH-eaguf-6 State From her plains and valleys, togg From her lorests of pine and waving wheat fields Conte heartiest greetings to you, May your .days be as bright as her sapphire Skies, Xour Joys as pure as her snow-blown airg Xour peace the peace of her star-gemmed nights, Your hearts as her song birds, free from care. Conrad. Montana' VICTOR E. STARR, Com. '12, licar 'l5ers: and Others: l ha.ve been teaching since last September and 1 like my work fine, but my thoughts roam back to the old U. P. S. I never knew I would miss my classmates so much until l was separated from them. I ind that among the happiest days olf my life were those spent in the U. P. S. With best wishes for all, Salt Fork, Oklahoma. RALPH MILLER, '15. The inspiration and education which I received in the Alma Mater has helped put me where I am in directing the educational training of 41 young men in the city or Worcester. all because U. P. S. had something to 'give me that has been Worth white. Old U. P. S. has a proud place in the lite of many a man and woman in this country and I want to say that I am one who is' mighty proud to have been a graduate of such a noble school. Wirth best wishes to the new members of the Alumni, and kind greetings to the members of the Class of 1910, I am, sincerely yours, Worcester, Mass. CARL D. SMITH. Ilere's to the Class of 1916, and may you live a thousand years, Just to sort of 'cheer things up through these roles of tears. You may not realize your worth and it is better you do not know How the sad old earth lacks such mirth and is full of woe. So double up yo-ur courage and hit the front line hard, For you are sure to Winn if you take your vim and plenty of cheer along. Alva, Oklahoma. R, C. LA NEVE, '12. 'Fo the Alumni ot the U. P. S. I .

The musical faculty consists of Oscar J. Lehrer, director band and orchestra, Carrie E. Stagg, head piano department, E. Faye Richards, head voice department, and Lulu K. Willhour, instructor in piano. This year it sends out the largest graduating class in the history of the school. Those taking diplomas or certihcates from this depart- ment are are Blanche Mead, piano, Nellie McGee, piano, Irene Mahoney, voice, Dor- othy Walter, piano, Pearl Blubaugh, voice, Irwin Gard, cornetg Frances Dervage. piano, Opal Mead, voice, and Celesta Kaul, piano. . Some of the principal organizations in the music department are: The Mozart Club, a musical chorus of fifty voices, a large band, orchestra and male quartet, all under the direction 'of Professor Lehrer, three piano ensemble classes under Miss Staggs, and a girls' sextette under Miss Richards. These have all furnished many en- tertainments for the school and two of them, namely, the Male Quartet and B Sharp Piano Quartet, have made concert trips over the state with decided success. 120 -44 .

It aims to show that whatever the condition of a family, whether large or small, in city or country, the successful expenditure of money to supply the family with needed comforts' depends vastly more upon brains than upon dollars. The housekeeper should learn to think in percentages. One cent less on a ten- cent article seems a trivial saving, yet it it is ten per cent-ten dollars on the hun- dred. There will be a difference in money paid of ten to twenty per cent between care- less' and careful purchases. The customer who knows receives the best of goods and ot service. Ninety-nine out of every hundred costumes are spoiled by lack ot simlJliC- ity. Being well dressed often means knowing what to leave off. In hand sewing as well as in machine made garments, dresses, suits' and evening dresses, we are proving the beauty of a simple design beautifully executed. Every garment when handed in must be accompanied by an itemized account of materials and their cost. Suitability, cost and wearing quality of materials are con- sidered and samples submitted to the teacher before material is purchased. The first Year girls are required to make collections of cotton, linen, silk and wool with prices and widths, and use of each. They are also planning their ideal kitchen With pictures of various articles of furniture and the co-st of each. As a final test of her ability dur- ing the spring term each girl in the second year cooking class is required to select. prepare and serve a well balanced luncheon to six guests. The following menu is a sample of what these girls have been able to serve for twenty-five cents: Pimiento Bisque 'Crontons Chicken Croquettes Currant Jelll' Mashed Potatoes String Beans' Baked Macaroni and Cheese Parker House Rolls Butter Balls Pear Salad Cheese Balls Saltines Lemon Sherbet Snow Cakes Candied Orange Peel Coffee Besides these class exercises' help has been given in all large society functions. One banquet for gxty-five was planned and executed principally by two girls from this class, first year gQls acting as vvaitresses. A stitch in time saves nine and the life of an article ot clothing may be prolonged by good care. This means more money to spend on the higher life when one's income is limited. So our work in Home Economics embraces care and repair of clothing, dry cleaning and laundering. Millinery, home nursing, saitation and dietetics complete our course of study. While we do not expect to turn out trained nurses or dietitians we do believe that these courses will be of great help in giving first aid, caring for the sick and following the cloctor's directions. Our enrollment is very encouraging and best of all, a large per cent of the girls will elect a second year's work, We believe the time is fast HD- proaching when every girl will consider a course in Heine Economics an absolute necessity. 130 ' nw., W 7 i i t 9 5 ' ' 1 f 1 ' ' ' ' Y I i 1 . , , 5 l , Ai , I 4 4 f Ma .'

Well then, why don't you believe in woman's suifrage! You ask us to walk with you, dance with you, marry you, why dont you ask us to vote with you? If Women haven't brains enough to vote with you they haven't brains enough to be in your home. In the ideal Republic, Plato says that women should have the same education as men and do the same work. To one who has not made 21 Study of the history of universal suffrage the present agitation seems doubtless some sudden and unprecedented activity on the part of a group of people. To those who have not made a study of the question of suffrage, from the time of the Greek republic to those of our oWn,thepresent agitation is but a final scene of the great drama of the growth of democracy. The right to vote is a right which has been extended as civilization has in- creased. In England bef0re 1332 Woman was a political enigma, today she is stepping in to occupy a position equal to man, In Saxony women vote on the Same terms with men, in Russia they vote on all eleCt.iVe offices and on other matters for which men are permitted to vote, and in practically all the rest of the countriesguch as, Vlfegtphalia, Prussia, Switzerland, Roumania, Italy, and Bohemia they vote by proxy on the various offices open to them. Tgday Conventions are held frequently, and the requirements for voting are restricted. The Wgmen have as Clear 21 title to the ballot as the men have. They are g-0V'e1'1'1ed, but Without their Consent, S11H'1'2.gG is Pl right of l3Ofl'l SGXQS alike. The denial of the franchise to woman degrades her to the same category with idiots, lunatics, and criminals. To this George W. Curtis says: A woman has the same right to her life, liberty, and property, that a man has, and she has consequently the same right to an equality of protection that he has. If I have a natural right to my life and liberty, I have the same right to everything that protects that life and liberty which any other man enjoys. Iask the same for every Woman. Women cannot be adequately protected while men alone make the laws. Vot- ing is the quietest, easiest, most dignified and less conspicuous Way of influ- encing the public affairs. They need the lO2lllOt to protect their business interests and to get the social and personal rights that are now denied them. Woman's mind would be broadened and elevated by a study of public ques- tions. Woman's suffrage would increase the strength of the home element in politics, secure the election of better men to oiiice, and introduce higher moral standards into government. You cannot expect women to move mountains but they can have an influence for the betterment of politics and cleaner oiiicials, improve the conditions of election booths, better the atmosphere of primaries and conventions, improve the conditions of Women and children, suppress gambling and restrict the sale of liquor. In England women have exercised municipal suffrage without detriment and with great, advantage., In Wyoming the results have proved so satisfactory that an 132 l ff the law continued upon the statute book for twenty years. I 1889 when it was admitted to the Union the constitution contained this idea. Pennsylvania wants equal Sufffagey because, She SaYS, it will correct the notorious evils of the common- Wealth. A. Caswell Ellis says: Sooner or later it must b,e recognized that the duties of a true mother to her child and her home are not confined to the kitchen and the back-yard, nor can she evade the responsibility as a citizen by turning it over to her any more than the husband can successfull f t ' tl f als to his wife. 5 uin over ie amily religion and mor- Jane Adams says, If women would fulfill liel' traditional responsibility to her own childreng if she would educate and protect from danger factory children who must find their recreation on the streetg if she would bring the cultural forces to bear on our materialistic civilization, and if she would do it all with the dignity and directness fitting one who carries her own immemorial duties, then she must bring herself to the use of the ballot -that latest implement of self-virtue. May we not fairly Say the Amercian people need this implement in order to preserve the home? Some people have said that women are disqualified physically to do the actual work of the government, YVe do not expect it. What we do want is some one with sufifiicient knowledge and common sense to elect honest men to oiiice to attend to these things. VVomen do not need to cease to be domesic because they take an interest in public affairs. There is no state that requires one to bear arms to serve as jurors as a qualification of Suffrage. Men cannot represent women, because women are unlike men. VVomen as a class have tasks, interests and occupations which they alone can edequately repre- sent. What! Would you have the women unvoiced in the governmental affairs? Have nothing to say of hers and her own child's protection? One fifth of the earth's territory is established under Woman's Suffrage. The women vote as independ- ently and as intelligently as the men. They do not neglect home for politics. There has been no harm come to men, women,children, or to the State, but on the con- trary much good has been accomplished when women have been given equal suff- rage. ' There are five reasons why we should have Woman's Suffrage: 1. Because we are for democratic government. 2. Because woman's moral influence is needed in public life. 3. Because modern industrial and commercial life has taken woman out of the protection of the horiie and she needs the protection of the ballot. 4. Because we need woman's house-keeping instinct in municipal affairs and in matters pertaining to Cllildfen- 5. Because of justice. 133 1 9 1 6 V 425-1 ,1 Today and Tomorrow A warm, drowsy September day was drawing to a. close. I sat, or rather, lazily reclined, in a large comfortable chair on the shady porch, vainly searshing my tired brain for some new subject for a story. Yes, I wanted something new-something with real life pictured in it. I lnonged for an inspiration from the poets' world As I sat musing and thinking, a soft, warm breeze blew across my face, bring- ing with it that dreamy, soothing fragrance from myriads of clover blooms, and the drowsy, contented hum of busy insects from the meadow below. That gentle breeze proved itself my master, and ere I was aware of its presence, sleep had overcome me, and had borne me away into the mystic valley of dreams, far away from the stern realities of life. I had stepped into another world it seemed, and stood in silent awe and wonder as I gazed at the scenes before me. ' Words can but poorly express the wondrous beauties which greeted me on every' sideg and the atmosphere was pervaded with a peaceful stillness-such a contrast to the busy whirl and mad rush of the world of mortals. I had a sudden inspiration! Now I could find a subject-a beautiful subject for my story. It should be one that would tell of fairies, Bowers, beautiful green valleys and winding paths, sing- ing birds, and all the other wonders of nature whch were scattered around me so abundantly. As I was gazing around, trying to make up my mind where to begin, I heard a soft rustling sound near by, and glanced around just in time to see a quaint, fleecy little body jump lightly from among the the bright blossoms of a bed of golden rods. Althugh I had never seen fairies, I judged that this was one, for such dainty, pure, sprightly creatures are found only among the wee folk of Fairyland. She advanced to meet meg gazed into my face for a moment, and then, with a graceful bow, intro- duced herself as Pearl, the Dreamland Gu de. . And you, I suppos, she added in a.soft, silvery voice, are from the land of mortals. E I Yi-BS, I P1f1SW9I'ed, and I am here tfying to find something new and inspiring about which to write a story. There seems to be so many new and beautiful things, I hardly know just where to begin. Maybe you can help me, if you will be so kind, I shall be delighted to help you if I can, she answered smiling. You want something new and inspiring. Let me see.. Do you see anythng here that you do not have on the earth below? No, I answered, glancing around in vain trying to find something different from anything I had ever seen before. I .suppose we have the same things but somehow they all appea ' so much more beautiful and perfect here than we have been used to seeing themf Yes, that is true, she answered, but come, let us walk around and maybe an inspiration will come to us. Hand .in hand we wandered about under the rustling, waxen, leaves of mighty treesg o'er the soft, velvety carpet of moss starred with daisies and buttercupsg along winding paths close by the banks of clear, rippling streams, until, at last, we 134 Warsl. .asf .gnu J ,. 1 :V IQ came to o large open space, on which the sun shone, with a dazzling, but mild brightness. As soon as the momentary blindness, which was caused by the sudden exposure to the glaring light, had passed away I could see distinctly before me o large wall, beautiful beyond comparison with its delicate colors, and intricate carvings, .its mass- ive arches and lofty towers. I gazed 1.1pOnit.iI'1 open-eyed wonder and amazement, for I had never dreamed of anything so wonderful, even in Fairyland, where all things are possible. My little guide watched me in silence for a moment, and then her tiny, rosebud face suddenly dimpled, and laughing gayly, she again spoke. You mortals are such queer people-you seem to be so much surprised and awed by things that we consider very commonplace. You'll pardon me, I hope, for laughing at you so impolitely, but the expression on your face did look so funny. Have you never seen walls before? Yes, I answered, still dazzled, but none so exquisitely beautiful as that! What .is it? .. That-, she answered, her dimpled face becoming serious, that is the City of Tomorrow, as we fairy-folk call it. We have planned and built it with our own hands, as a model for you mortals to follow. ' You now are looking only upon the outside. The inside .is made more beautiful by the people who dwell there. You know we have some knowledge of the life .in the lower world, and the sin and sorrow there is more than we can understand, so we have planned the Future for Man, and it can be made to come to pass if only all take a willing part and do all they can to replace sin and sorrow with the joy and happ.iness found within these walls. ' .- Oh, may I have just one look inside, I questioned eagerly. My story was for- gotten, and the wonderful revelation of the mystic, hazy future filled' my mind, and permeated my whole being. Yes, she answered, I will take yOu inside, so that you may see for yourself a place blessed by divine presence. ' We advanced to the great white gate hung on golden hinges, my guide rapped thi-ee times thereon with her pearl wand, the gate swung noiselessly back, and we entered the City of Tomorrow. I did not feel at all as I thought I should, as a strangeifin a strange world, but at onoo oonfoi-med myself to my surroundings, and a feeling of peace and content- ment Stole Over me. My eager eyes tried to take in everything at once, but oh! the Sights vveye go many, go wonderfully beautiful and different, that I felt as if I could not enjoy any one very long for fear of missing others. i 1 had Completely forgotten my little guide, but was brought to a conciousness of her presence again, when she gently touched my hand, as if to waken me from a trance. She was greatly delighted with my praise and admiration of that which her people hd W1-ought, and tirelessly led me from one scene, to another more wonderful and glorious. i We passed through broad, clean streets upon which all was order and the very imperson-,tion of Law itself, no skulking thieves lurked behind house corners ready , . h their avaricious thirst, no cursing or scandal polluted the pure atmosphere, no saloon stood on the street corner to entice the youth down- to .spring upon YOU 130 queue 135 Q!v.9! 'I ' ' 'il f e 1 a 9 a 6 . ward to degredation and crime no cunning devices were there to lure innocent girl' hood to misery and death, and no needy, helpless man, woman, or child was passed carelessly by and left to his own hard fate, but all were cared for by the will- ing hands of charity and sympathy, Oh how different and wonderful! The air was f.i-lled with the musical laughter of the youth and maiden as they partook of their wholesome and harmless pleasures, bright, happy children frolicked innocently upon the velvety lawns, while the proud, contented mothers busily employed themselves about the well-kept households. The birds sang joyously as they flitted merrily about among the leafy branches. Not a cloud could be seen in the bright blue can- opy of heaven. My soul was so filled with the inexpreggible joy and beauty of the surroundings, that I was not aware of the rapid flight of the time until my guide said, It is becoming late, and if you wish to return home before darkness falls, we must hurry. ' Moll, I Could only Stay here fgl-eveylu I C1'IGCl 1'3.ptll1'0llSly, taklflg OHS last l0Oli at the beautiful things as we passed along, Suddenly, a low, distant rumble was heard. My guide stopped short in alarm, 'fWhat was that? I asked, becoming uneasy at my little friend's apparent fear. I'm sure I do not know, for I have never heard anything like it. Her little body trembled visibly, as she clung to me like a frightened child to its mother. Nearer and nearer, louderpmnd louder became the terrifying roar, like unto the thundering hoofbeats of an on-coming host, mingled with the clanging steel of sword and shield. The clear sky was suddenly overcast by black clouds, which scud- ded quickly across the sky, like huge eagles, darting hither and thither in search of thelir prey. The pure air became hot and heavy, and filled with the dust rising from beneath the feet ofthe invisible army! While on and on came the roaring thunder with terrifying rapidity. - A moment more, and from out the cloud of dust and darkness, our startled eyes beheld a great army, plunging madly forward and laying waste everything as it passed! As it came nearer, we could distinguish different individuals from the con- fused mass. At the front, riding haughtily on 3 coal-black steed, was one who apparently was the leader. He bore a large banner, on which were the words, painted in fiery red letters, King ofTodaya Until this time, so great had been our fear, my little guide and I stood as if rooted to the spot, but as the enemy came onward, we hastily retreated toa place of safety. We knew we were powerless to aid in any way, the doomed city, all we could do was to sit back and watch the work of destruction as the powel-S of evil swept mercilessly on. The beautiful walls of the fair city was as nothing, for in a few moments time it was crumbled into fragments beneath ironshod feet, and the mighty army of the King of To-day with h.is cruel and heartless emissaries, passed on to lay low the fair city of Tomorrow. From our place of retreat we could view the procession as it passed. And such a procession as it Was! My little guide covered her face in horror as the realities of the world of To-day passed before us. The King was attended on either side by his faithful helpers and body-guards, Greed and Graft. Close behind followed the mighty patriarchs of Political Corruption, bearing in their train Wealth and Worldly 136 , 4 Five-f24 '-f-.-ali, 32,1 - ffm .if . 1:14.15 ,Ii bb 4 wg salt fy' power, with Misery, Crime, and Poverty crouching at their feet and filling the air with wailing cries of desperation. The pale, haggard face of Despair was turned toward us for a moment, and then again swept along with that seething, suffering mass of humanity. I could endure the awful scene no longer, covering my face with my hands, I cried aloud, Oh, God, can all this be possible? At that moment, a mighty shout rent the air, the darkness deepened, and by the glare of the burning city-our fair City of Tomorrowkwe could plainly see the triumphant King and his faithful allies viewing the work of destruction with stony and expressionless faces. Shrill cries arose above the noise and confusion, Come, let us get away from this awful scene! I cried, and catching my little guide by the hand, we sped swiftly on, away from the doomed city, We ran on and on until almost exhaustedg at last we reached the edge of a mighty precipice, tower- ing above a yawning chasm. We hesitated but a moment, and jumped. Down, down, down we fell, until- I awoke. The schoolboys, glad of their freedom, were laughing and shouting merrily in the street. My book had dropped to the floor, and I was sitting in a cramped and uncomfortable position .in the Old Chair On the P01'Ch- I Tubbefl my eyes and gazed around to make sure where I was, for it seemed hard to realize that the experiences I had just undergone had been only visionary.

Whether we never see any light at all, or whether we are blinded by the dazzling gleam of pleasure or wealth on this side of darkness, 01' whether we 'fear the toils that lead through the veils and mists of doubt, C.r whether, overcoming all of these we get the vision glorious of gt life cf servzce beyond-depends wholly on ourselves. We must press on through the dark- ness and the terror of it if we would reach the light beyond, not however, like the fool- ish insects attracted to the dazzling blaze only to be drawn to destruction by the in- tensity of its flame, but like plants that lean to the light, to fill our lives' with meaning ing and our souls with power. There are two kinds of men who never penetrate the gloom-the men, who held down by a sordid existence never suspect the presence of the light at all, and the men, who dazzled by the light on this side of darkness, never know the full beauty of the re- gion beyond. Unfortunate the man who has never set his face toward the light-who will not see it, the man to whom neither earth nor heaven 'convey the pure unsordid message of the ideal, the man whose light is dimmed by a baffling struggle within the narrow and present confines of this existence. His motives are measured in dollars and cents, his children are worthless to him until large enough 'to engage in remunera- tive labo-r. To him every reverse of fortune brings bitterness-the failure of a crop or an unfavorable market, temporary ill-health in the family-these things and many like them obscure his poor day and leave him groping in his small dungeon-like sphere. The world matters not to him and he recognizes no demands from the worldg he has never acknowledged that every individualvis the center of all that surrounds him and has an unlimited space of action. Tell him he has robbed 'the world of a generous mind and heart, of the power to do its work, of a sympathy to bear its burdens, of determi- nation to effect its reforms, and he will laugh at your folly. Was he not born unto himself and there to die? Equally unfortunate the man, who flattered by the offer of a good position before he is fitted for a life work, or attracted by the lure of pleasure, mistakes the glory of the nearby splendor for the real life in the realm beyond, who allows self-gratification of the desire for wealth to be the ruling motive iin his life. Too apt we are to' leave the quest of the Holy Grail for the quest of the wherewithal to gratify our foolish tastes and whims.

' 1 V Happy indeed is the man who retains this vision clarified and pure, who realinzes that he has a m'ssion to perform-a responsibility to his fellowmen which requires time and effort in preparing himself for the larger usefulness of brotherhood as well as self-preservation. He will not permit his life to be circumscribed by ungenerous preparation. His mind will cease to be filled with trade and commerce and other al- lurements so as tg preclude the culture oi mind, body, and soul., From 8 to 12 years after the young person has completed his eommonnschool education must be spent in equipping himself for the really great positions in life. There can be-no quick way to success. The right power of achievement like all other noble tli1n.SS 15 bought WY1U1.?l great price.

A ' This age of specialization differentiates clearly and defines sharply the work of the skilled laborer and the professional man, but with this sharp drawing of the line has come the demand for expert knowledge both in head and hand. But it has not re- moved the demand for brains. Every industry is calling for men Who can thinkg for men who can see in the right perspectiveg for men of broad sympathy who can act as brother to brother. These are the reasons why the cost of preparation either in time or in money or personal effort will not be impediments of any consequence to the man who has the vision glorious. Not only do we have 'a duty to prepare our minds for service but our bodies must receive attention as well. The old adage of a sound mind in a sound body has not out- worn its usefulness. We a1'e coming more and more to realize that the busy life is the only happy life and that without a strong body, a clean and wholesome life, a rec- ognition of the laws' of nature we cannot endure this strenuous existence. Neither can we neglect the spiritual side of our nature. If we, in the quest of skill, knowledge, and power, forget that we are an image of the Creatorg that 'we have a soul that cries out to-be released from the bondage of practical existence, that longs to uplift the whole of humankind and make the world better for having lived therein, we have neglected the most important attribute of service. When we have finally pre- pared our three-fold nature for some service in life. we shall not only succeed, but also have the joy and satisfaction of knowing we are not a useless dependent on soci- ety. It is only as we press on through the depths of struggle that our vision becomes more distinct and we see our way clearly toward helping our fellowmen. We must be dreamers. Through all the ages it has been the dreamers' who have pierced the unknown vasts, who have sailed away undaunted for the far blind shores. Their brains have wrought all human miracles. Your homes are set upon the land a dreamer found. Your pictures on its walls are visions from a dreamer's soul. A lll'C2l.11l81',S pain wails from your violin. lf the heart be strong and the dream be hard enough, we can attain, where all have failed before.

It is' the vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you will become like in the fibre of your being.

There had been no sun all day 10118, 21-Hd the SDHV' inaw hills were topped with snow whiich had fallen the day before. Along Rattlesnake Ridge there ran a long straight road down into Rattlesnake hollo-w and across the Spavinaw River. The snow which had crusted over the road had not been broken ex- cept for an occasional horseback istraggler who had dared to brave' the bitter cold and the danger of an approaching storm. Across on Lone Wolf Ridge, C0V91'6d with tall green pines, could be seen occasionally the dark flitting form of an Indian hunter. The Spavinaw River, which flowed through Rattlseake hollow, gurgled, chattered, and roared as it dashed and whirled down its' rocky bed in and out among the innumerable Spavinaw hills. l ' , Gn the bank of this river under a high cliff, stood three men. They had about them the air of being watched. They moved cautiously and were constantly scanning the hills. They were Indians and all were dressed alike. They wore broad-brimmed hats and thick yellow coats lined with red and gray striped flannel which showed through on the lapel of the coat, and Several other worn places. Their shirts were oi black flannel, and their tro-users, once a yellow color but now soiled and darkened, were tucked into high gum boots which came to the knees. Each carried a huge gun. They were the Wycliff brothers, the noted Cherokee outlaws who terrorized the people of Delaware county and the surrounding country during the years 1907 and 1908. They had committed some small offense-I think it was disturbing the peace at a small school house, and in order to escape punishment had gone into hidi-ng in the Spavinaw hills. ' Gillstrape, a bigoted, cowardly sheriff, had gone to their home and commanded the feeble father to tell where his boys were hiding. When the father refused to tell. Gillstrape -took the butt-end of a rawhide whip he had with him and beat the old man without mercy. Since then the boys-with the Indian passion for revenge-had sworn not to surrender or be taken until they had killed Gillstrape. The group was joined by a slender boy on horseback. who dashed perilously into the river and up to where they stood. He was dressed like the rest, but he was ta' and. slender. He bore little family resemblance to the others though he was a brother. He was also dark, but, strange to say, he had a shock of red hair. His' eyes fashed with fire and action, and his'whole attitude was one of bold, reckless daring. Red, said John, the oldest, in a gruff tone, don't you know better than to bring a horse here. Naw', carelessly brawled the boy. Nobody here to hurt us-none of our enemies I mean. ' Not, eh? John waved his hand. What do ye see up there?,' Who-ee. Red said slowly as he caught sight of some dark forms on Rattlesnake Ridge. HI reckon though I am ready. . Did you get in home. Red? asked Dan, another brothe1'. Yes, but it was mighty tough work though-had to sneak in. They were watch- ing the house. Bill died last night. We CDad and D buried him about midnight. They don't know he is dead, and w0n't knowf' Dead! the tone was one of real grief though the news was received with the usual Indian Stoicism. That leaves only four of us and our brother's death to avenge. No, it is best that the posse don't know they killed him. Poor Bill-he was the oldest of us all and the best fighter. Gillstrape did it. I saw the bullet leave his gun. ' I-Iow' is Ma, Red? asked Jack, a tall heavy set man. Not very well. Billlfs death will make it hard for her. She wants us' to give up and come home. She is afraid we are starving. Not much danger of that: we have plenty of friends who will feed ug, and game EE by no means' scarce, John said as. he fingered his gun. I hate this life, Jack continued, but I hate Gillstrape worse, and I'll not sur- 142 -ff-ia pswgwi qrr, .-'mga an-1 Lai tsg faaa les ,Q render until we have killed him-. BY Joye, BOYS! Red spoke hastily. I believe that is old 'Gillstrape now on Rat- UGSIQHKG Rlflge- S0111eth111g Strange, too for him to be out by himself.

He has only one blood-hound, too-'twill be some surprise for old Gills all right. , The boys' looked and saw that what Red said was true. For the first time since coming to hunt the outlaws, 'Giisllstrape was alone. A swift gleam of hatred came into and hardened the face of each of fthe four men hidden from sight behind the cliff. John's usual surly tone was now made more gruff by the passion and bitterness he felt. He is alone, boys and there are four of us. That wouldn't be fair play. You Flu Stay 1191? and 1 H111 S0i11g to meet this man. iGive me your horse, Red. I am going- stand back! I will go, I said! If he should see me firrst then make quick work ot him boys. But don't shoot until I fall. He mounted the horse and was off without another word. Death was written in every line of his face. It was to be a fair, man-to-man combat. One of the two must dieg the result depended wholly on the quickness and coolness of the two men. Gillstrape was walking his horse slowly along the road. It was plain he wasnit lookiing for company. His face was cool and red. One could easily tell he had been using a stimulant to keep him warm. He was a wiry littlexfellow, cordially hailed by everybody, for he was well known to be o-ver-bearing and cruel. .Iohn Wycliff waited in the bend of the road-his hand on the trigger of his gun. As Gillstrape rode around the bend, Wyclirff pushed his horse forward. Cee-o, he said wickedly. Gillstrape instantly raised his g-un but Wyc!iff grinned and said. No, don't! A shot rang out but it had missed its mark. Said Wycliff, I'll show you how to whifp old men who are helpless. l'!l show you how to kill our brother. Like it? Bah! Coward! he cried as Gillstrape begged for mercy. You didn't have mercy-take gun, shoot. If I shoot first you die: The guns came up again. Two shots rang out, and Gillstrape lay dead in the road. John turned and shot the blood-hound that was standing near. The three brothers stripped Gfallstrape of his coat, spread it on the ground and lifted the dog upon it. Gillstrape they left lying, uncovered in the snow, thus showing that they had more respect for the dog than for the man. A month later, after the feeling aroused by the murder of Gillstrape had Some- fhit s bsided there rode into the little town of Grove four men on horse back.

At last, as I beco-me drowsier and drowsier. my mind began to wander in circles. I would think of the same thing tim-e alter time all of which tended to increase my desire to sleep. But soon a new and insistent thought came creeping through my dull brain, which finally gained recognitknn. 'i thought was this: tomorrow I must write a theme for my American Literature class. My weary mind tumbled the thought over and over without trying to penetrate U significance. What could I write about? Suddenly a title flashed before my hali- Closed eyeS,An Old Colonial Library. That title indeed offered many possibilit.. One ought to be able to write volumes about it. But then I had never seen such library, and what could one write about something one had never seen. Th s evidently gave me little distress, for I was too far gone to Care about fit. The tl1011?.'1V came less frequently, my eyes were now fully closed, and nothing but the glow from til' fire lighted the darkened room. Then came a sweet, peaceful, blank obliviong and l had slipped into the land of dreams, where one can gain one's greatest' desires in seem- ingly the easiest manner. I awoke with a start and a shudder, for I had just dreamed that I was running to make a touch down when some unseen hand had pushed me back and had not allowed me to 'touch the ball over the goal line. I rubbed my eyes and Started to rise so that I might switch on the lights and go to' bedg but as 1 tried to reach the switch, I touched some strange object with my hand. It was an old fashioned brass Candlestick with perhaps half a candle left in the socket. Then came an exclamation of Surprise- what was this Candlestick doing in my room? Again I felt for the switch, but my grasping hand encountered only a blank wall. Then I became truly curious. This must be my roomg but could I possibly have walked in my sleep. That surely must be my chair and my fireg but as I looked at the fire a second time, I saw that it was no gas fire. It was a real wood fire and not a gaslogg and those old fashioned and- irons would certainly be strangers at my grate. Tho ohaiy too looked different: oven by theldim light of the fire I could see that it was o-ld fashioned mahogany and not a cheap imitation. Then my curiosity and my desire for adventures overcoming my Call- tious fears, I decided to inspect th3s room. The candle was soon ablaze, and by its dim radiance I found several more. The light of the candles combined with the glow of the fire, lighted the room fairly well. Now, having all my preparations made, l started to explore this strange place. v ' lt was a large room with three large wfindows in the south wall opening on a wide - i b verandah. The north wall contained the fireplace which was an immense affair in ii'- 1 seqf. But the east and west walls were those which occupied my attentiondd Along each wall, running full length of the room, was a great bookcase Com jletel Y fill 1 yritl 1 A e x books. The top shelves of these bookcases reached almost to the extremely high ceili ing of the room. A soft thick carpet on the floor, and an old mahogany library table. flanked on one side by a chair equally antique completed the most t' bl f , r I no icea e urniturc ol the room. On the table I found an old and much worn Copy of the Bible lyme- by the side of Pilgrims Progressf' I couldn't imagine in whose library l. was but ? ag. termxned to make the best of my stay there. As I turned to the Sorfth Wap' uly amen- tion was arrested bv - nicture. It was a large picture yvjth a black 'frame suggestive 144 ' 5'-7 '3 1 1. . Aww- -449 r r-rv. 91 ca 'Q of the ligure in the picture. The figure was one of the most beautiful that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Gowned in plain black without a single adornment. she presented a face that was only enhanced by her garb. An involuntary exclama- tion escaped me, Puritan!', The picture by her side fully proved this, for it was of a young man simply dressed in Puritan style with a stern repressed look on his noble countenance. The two' indeed must have made a beautiful couple. I gazed at the pio- tures several moments in a reverent silence, and thought that the owner of the librarb' was certainly fortunate in having such ancestors. But soon my attention wandered and I began to inspect the books. I noticed that all the volumes were well boundg in fact most of them being in leather. I took down a volume and started aimlessly to turn the pages. It was then that I caught sight of the name of the author. Mather, Cotton Mather, was the name inscribed on the book. What was a book like that doing in a librarv like this? Again I looked to be sure of the name. Then I began in ear- nest to look at this curious library. I started down the shelf on which I had found the first book. All seemed to have been written by this same author, Cotton Mather. I-Iere were copies of his manuscripts and essays, there a volume of sermons, and at last I found a complete edition of the Magnalia. Reverently I took out Book Two which I found to be written about the early American heroes. the first book which tended to incite American patriotism. As I turned over the pages, I thought of the man who had written this book. We are accustomed to condemn much and praise little. But I wondered if we had a right to condemn such a man as this. He has written on- ly good of his fellow men, and it is no more than right that we write only good of hilm. Soon I replaced the book, and started in search of something new. I ascended a shelf. and lo and behold, there was Jonathan Edwards. The Freedom of the Will was the first Volume that I saw. and with a sense of pleasure, I began to look through it. There must have been some thirty odd volumes of his works, nearly a complete list, I saw a book of his sermons in which was his Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, and thought of passages that I had read. Even to me it seemed a shame that a man of hiS ability should be judged by this one sermon when he has written a book lilte the Free- dom of the Will. . Then the thought flashed through my mind that this was no ordinary library: this must be a real Old Colonial Library. I replaced my 'book and went over to the other bookcase to make sure of my find. The first thing that greeted my eyes was a. book by Claptain .lolrn Smith about Virginia. Next was Bradfordis Of Plymouth Planta- tions side by side with Winthropis .Iou:nal', and Samuel Sewall's' t'Diarf'. Then came a list of authors of the same period, some of whom I had never heard. I-Iere was a story bv the jovial William Byrd about the adventures of his lifeg and there was the 'tDay of Doom by YVigglesworth, the book which although it may seem ludicrous, is nevertheless- the sincere expression cf an honest man. One could hardly believe that so much had been written in so short a time as evidenced by this library. In one Cor- ner l found Franklin's Autobiography Which although not of this period was of this time. I drew the chair up before the fire, and started reading the Autobiography when slow- ly and without any intention. I dropped off asleep again. This time I really did wake up with a jump. As soon as I found my bearings, 'I heard some one knocking at the door, It was my father, and he was telling me ,itn no uncertain 'tone to go to bed. It was 'then that I realized that my beautiful adventure had been only a dream. but I was satisfied, for it would help me greatly in preparing my paper o-n An Old Colonial Library. 145 -G H- .vias s V , Sw ff l 5 ': aria.. ggfigg.. ,gf gwflailgaf .MMI : '-f:.,,.4a' 'wash M- I-fe--'f -' Choosing and Having Rose Vacin, '17 Oh, youth! for whom the sun is rising, From this world's possessions must tho Good and bad, can both be had, One to gain, the other lose.

Oklahoma as a Background for Literature Ruth Muskrat, '17 Oklahoma-the land that has quifvered under the lash of a thousand tragedies' that has' vibrated d ' ' ' ' ' un ei -the force ot a million joys-has emerged triumphant, her unique history clinging to her as a protecting garment, and she calmly waits for some of her so-ns and daughters to discover to the world her store of romance and tragedy. For, in her scenery is the inspiration and in her history the material that make her a striking background 'for literature. In her scenery as well as fin her citizens, there is great variety. She ranges from the foothills of the Rockies to the swamps Of the Arkansas, and from theplains of Kansas to the valley of the Red River. In the northeast section, formerly the Indian Territory, she claims the beautiful sparkling, but treacherous Spavilnaw River and the innumerable pine crested Spavinaw hills, rich in the lore and legend of all the Cherokee people, which would furnish ample inspiration to another heart throbbing with sympathy, and a desire to right the wrongs of a downl trodden race for another R ' ' - amona. The Aibuckle mountains, too, are included with- in her borders. They stand in all their magnificent grandeur, as a silent witness' of thousands of outlaw deeds, of countless Indian wars, and of everyday joys and sor- rows.

To the alien mind these small pools mean but little but to an Oklahoman t'1ey are known as Buffalo Walliowsf' and the sight of them instantly recalls to mind those early days when the Oklahoma plains were covered with these shaggy monarchs of the prairies, and w-hen the Indian, the hero of the forest, lord and master of them all, rode at will the wild free prairies on his hunt for buffalo. Later, after the countless herds had been diminished by the reckless slaughter of the white man. nothing but their bones lt' li' ' ' ' ' ' ant ne wa lows iemained to tell the story of their numbers, and the broad plains stood ready to take on a new life. This change from t-he buffalo days was rapid, and for a brief period, cattle held domin' tl ' ' 0' ' ' ' lon over ie plains.

Oklahoma is the youngest pioneer state of the Union. Every Oklahoman knows and thrills at the memory of the opening-of the long struggle of the Boomers to settle in Oklahoma and how one April day at noon the Suns' were fired and the long race for claims and homes' began. Then followed the long years of pioneer life, of the struggle against drought and loneliness, when the pioneers lived in dugouts and thc smallest frame house seemed a luxury, and finally the triumphant victory over all these hardships-Oklahoma took her place among the 'foremost states of the Union. The opening of Oklahoma was the -culmination and climax of the story of American pic-- neering. Not even so much because of ber scenery or even because of her history is Okla- homa a splendid background for literature, but rather because of her great variety ol' citizens, I-ler citizenship is a composite of every state in the Union. Okla-homa is considered the melting pot of America, because every race and every nation represent- ed in America is found in Oklahoma. Here the North and the South, the East and West, have met and blended through their people. Here the horneseeker and the pros- pector, the politician and the townbuilder, t-he ranchman and the pioneer may be found side bv side.

And with this I had to be satisfied for not another word could I get from him on that subject. I determined to visit this unusual character who seemed to be a sort of desert her- mit and guide according to Jim's brief statement. Several days elapsed be' re I was able to put this determination into effect. But one evening when the sun famed like a spirit-fire in the west and the magic stillness of the plains seemed to have folded within its grasp mysterious, unseen forces, I set out across the sands to visit Fiddlin' Joe. The distance being long, twilight had softened the view before I discerned in the perspective a tiny speck that I surmised must be his shack, As the space lessened between me and the object of my visit I drew rein and advanced more slowly, for l could not overcome a certain feeling of awe as I approached this mysterious' individual. ln my imagination I had conjured up all sorts of fantastic visions of some great prophet, teacher, or guide 'who had dedicated his life to the uplift o-f his too-free brothers of the west. Immersed in these and other reflections, I rode slowly forward, until before me, a mere speck, his' cabin stood at the mercy of the plains. Not a trace softened the outline or lent a caressing shade to the hot, weather-beaten boards that formed a haphazard shelterfrom the elements. No blossom sent its fragrance across the evening airg no blade of grass eased the tread of weary feet. So discouraged and sad and lonesome was the aspect, I likened it to an old man from whom all life's inter- est had fled. I was almost inclined to turn back, so unlike my dream was this appar- ently deserted ruin. I had even turned my pony's head, when, hark! across the even- ing's' stillness there came the quivering. pulsing notes of a violin-soft and dreamy at iirst, then rising into a wail like the sob of a soul in anguish. The air seemed to Yi- brate with the indescribable melody, and instantly I forgot ,the wretchedness of the surroundings. The music seemed to ascend until its notes iluttered on pinions of thought and floated on and up into the regions' Where the imagination could scarcely follow, and then wisth a faint wail the music ceased. I dismounted and rapped timidly at the door. After a silence that seemed almost interminable the door slowly opened and a. form appeared at the threshold.. I said a form, for to call this apparently hopeless ruin cf mind and body a human being seemed a travesty on the human race. Bent, misshapen, disease-racked, hollow and iusterless o-f eye, sunken of cheek, shaken with palsy, he Stood bef01'e.n1e-the Stamp of e m3111210 impressed indelibly upon every inch of him. It was Fiddlin' Joe. I . . Thus we stood, gazing at one another, obvious to all else. I in mingled surprise 151 if 9 1 6 a - ' ig .ma . and repulsion, and -he stupidly, senselessly. Undecided as to whether or not to enter, I, blunderer that I am, drove precipitously toward the object of my visit. The boys tell me, I said, that you have helped them immeasurably in overcom- ing the drink habit. I hardly expected a comprehensive, or even intelligible expla- nation of the subject, but even as I spoke, his face lost its blank look, and his broken frame suddenly seemed to be lighted as with an inner fire. His body trembled as with an o-vermastering passion. Drink, drink! he sobbed, and clenched his fists in impotent ra.ge and Sorrow. lt was the death of me and my family. O, God! O, Godln I-Ie raised hjls trembling hands above his head and tore his hair in anguish, or perhaps it was anger. I also trembled at the 'sight of him, and should have liked to flee the place as fast as my pony could have carried me. But I resisted this impulse and asked. Would you mind telling me about it? I-Ie mo-tioned me to come in, and I complied-more because I feared not to than be- cause I wanted to do so. He seated himself in the one wretched chair, and I found E1 seat' on the no less wretched bed close by. All the fire that a moment before seemed about to consume him, had disappeared and his eyes stared senselessly into space as he listlessly strummed his violin. I waited nervously, until suddenly 'one claw-like hand clutched my knee while the other pointed at the blank wall opposite us. i'Look, he crfzed, in a hoarse whisper. I saw nothing at all, but I heard as he began to play, and I sat spellbound at the sound, for this was the story the fiddle told in the hands of Fiddlin' Joe. Surrounded by the mists of years, sacred to the memory of the maniac, lo-cked in the soul of his music, revolved a miniature world, flooded with sunshine as only the sun can shine in the Southland, filled with the songs of birds and the murmur of soft breezes laden with the incense of many flowers and o-verfiowing w :th lz tghter and hap- piness, lay a paradise, and in this paradise moved beautiful women quantly gowned in the dresses of that long gone past, escorted by brave and handsome men and about them children froliicking and dancing and laughing as children will always do. In this scene and playing with the other children was a child who seemed to rule this child- world. What his name was I could not understand tho-ugh h s comrades frequently called to him in their sports. Tlme rested lightly upon the little lad and all seemed as it should. They were celebrating a birthday party where he first tasted wine and could not refrain from making a grimace as he did so. His fond parents' were there too. His mother, a sweet, dainty woman, adorably dependent upon the tall, handsome man with the weak face, who' was the lad's father and who proposed drinking 'the toast. The music suddenly changed, and as suddenly the scene was transformed-no, not the scene, only the characters. The handsome little lad in his blue velvet suit was transformed into a tall handsome youth, the image of his father, and with hflm was seen the golden haired girl whose curls he used to pull in the long ago, now grown into blushing girlho-od. Many were smiling at the happy couple, but there were a few who shook theffr heads and whispered and pointed toward the boy's parents, who, also had changed with the years. T-he mother had a pathetic droop to her once comely shoul- ders, and the lines carved by the hand of worry showed plainly 111 1191- face, a1t11011g11. with her old pride, she tried artfully to' conceal them. To understand the reason for all this it was only necessary to look upon the once handsome father, now no longer the pride of his wife and 'the object of his son's adoration. lfle had fallen at victim to the demon drink. Again the scene changed. Now the chimes of the great cathedral pealed forth their happy announcement and down the massive steps marched the gay wedding party -the golden-haired girl and the handsome youth were now 1111111 511111 yvlfe. AAJ1 1110 world seemed -to rejoice and be glad with them, except one who Seelllgd to be 536113, out of harmony with all the laughter and song. A small, frail black-clad figure yvali kneeling under the stately elms in the churchyard-kneeling beside a grass grown grave. It was the mother and she was thinking of another such a time long ago, and, perhaps praying for the happiness' of her son and his wife. Another scene, and I could see the home and family of the golden-haired girl and the handsome youth. It was a very modest and unpretentious home. The children 152 iraqi- J 5 4 ,ey H .. fi-1-:fl -1'-.

The father seemed to need a great deal of money and spent much L11119 2111114 from the little home. The same kind of wrinkles that had marked the fave of the once handsome young man's mother, were appearing in the face of the once golden-haired girl and the people nodded their heads as' isf to say: l told you so. And there were two graves in the quiet churchyard. under the Stately elms. As l listened l saw the little home broken up. The children were placed in the homes of benevolent relatives and friendsg the bloom had faded from the cheeks of the mother-she had grown prematurely old, and her body was bent from the effects of toil. l.er small hands had found it necessary to earn a l.velihood for the famfily as the dis- solute father had all but forgotten that he had a family, and was headed down the salma' treacherous stream, and headed for fthe same fatal cataract that had engulfed his fath- er. Then came a stormy, blustery night, and a drunken form lay huddled in a drunken sleep in a gutter. lt was the handsome boy of other days, and he was dreaming of the long ago. The sulfering he had wrought overwhelmed him with a sense of horror, aliil demons. of indescribable aspect haunted, rebuked, and tormented him wlithout mercy. He seemed plunged into a dream purgatory, and when he awoke he found h,s soul. His life, however, was hopelessly wrecked, and little seemed left to sweeten the lives of h.s wife and children. Then a mighty resolve filled his demoral-zed brain. He Could at least rel ere them of the weight of his miserable presence, and he did. Placing thc little hoard of money that he had saved fo-r his own selfish uses Where his Wife could find it, and bidding them a long, sad. silent farewell a larewell unobserved by them- he disappeared and his family and acquaintances and the community gave him up for dead. Then Flddlin' Joe came west, and with his body ravished with disease. and 115 soul filled with remorse. his mind gradually weakened and became almost a blank, and it wal: thus that l found him. 1 ' The bow fell from his fingers and he gazed vacantly at the opposite wall.

But he did not see the sunshine or feel the warm breeze that touched his cheek. All was cold and dark night to' him. For a little while no one noticed the stumbling, groping figure, until a street urchin spied him and began hissing and throwing stones. t'Shylock, the Jewfl he cried, while others wrung their hands and cried My duc- ats! My daughter! as Shylock had cried in the streets when Jessica had eloped with ,orenzo. At these words the stooped shoulders straightened, the old fire leaped in the Jew's eyes, and he made his way down the street despite the stones and the cries of the urchins. One by one the boys dropped from the group and he walked on alon D h e. own t e crowded street he went and came to the suburbs of the city. There he paused before a 1 d -.

He walked on and on: the houses became fewer and fewer and at last he left the last behind, and paused to rest on the common. in that short Walk a curious change had come over his faceg' his mouth was closed in a firm, straight line, and into' his eyes crept an ugly, sinister look, Revenge and hatred were written in every line. The sun sank over the western horizong the stars came out one by oneg the new moon rose and sank. Still Shylock lay as if in sleep. The hours dragged ong the clock in the City began to strikeg the man sat up and began to count-one ftwo-no other sound was borne to him on the still night wind. He arose slowly to his feet and- lean- ing on his staff, peered into the darkness. Then he walked quickly and stealthily to- ward t-he city, often glancing back as if he feared pursuit.

Antonio was dead-poisoned by a ' 155 -- -1 , 6 powder put in his food. On the same day Lorenzo and Jessica had died in the same mysterious way. . - When this news reached Shylock, he sat in his counting room counting and re- counting his piles of yellow gold: moving it about, caressing it with his yellow, claw- like fingers, almost as yellow as the gold they so loved to handle. A hard, cruel 1001! came into his eyes, and a harsh laugh fell from his lips as he said in a hard, cruel voice, At last my plan has succe :ded, I am revenged! Shylock was rich-richer now than when he was driven from Venice. Everything the yellow hands touched turned to gold, and the jewels that his black eyes rested upon increased in value. No one knew where he dwelt, except Tubal, and no one rec'- ognized in the bent old man the ta!l.stern Shylock of old. A plague swept over Padua and the surrounding country. Hundreds died, and more lay at the point of death in the deserted cities, begging for a drop of water or a bite of bread. The land went untilled and grain was very high. Shylock sold his gran at an enormous price, and insisted on the last golciqece from the suffering people. - So far he had escaped the fever, and as he sat in his dingy vault counting his gold, nothing was farther from his mind. Suddenly he became uncomfortably warmg he arose and drank sparingly of his wineg but he was still thirsty, and drank again and again. His face became flushed and his eyes were livid with fever. Slowly it dawned on him what was the matter. An icy chill shot through his heart: he staggered to his feet but to fall prone upon the floor gasping for breath. His eyes closed and his breathing became slower till at last it came in great, sobbing gasps. - Suddenly his eyes opened. The room seemed full of a mystic lightfthe stone walls vanished and he stood once mo-re by the grave of Leah. Slowly a figure arose, roaed white with a golden halo around her head. When she reached the gates of the great Unknown, she paused and beckoned for him to follow. But he could not-his feet were heavy. Looking down he saw that he was bound to the earth with heavy, :2'o'den chains. Slowly the gates closed and his' vision vanished. He sank slowly on the cold stone floor, and a shadow of pain crossed his face as he cr'ed with a voice full of anguish, sorrow and regret. Too late, Leah! Too late! Too late! 156 W 59 . ei iff'--45 er ,J J Paraphrase of Chaucer's Emily in the Garden Rose Vacin, '1 7 T'was 21 morning of beauty, the air was perfume, ' The birds sang their sweetest and earth was in tune.

Maybe some of us did laugh in our sleeves, for we had a special grouch against Graymore, and we were glad to see him get left for once. You see, it was Graymore who started all this county-seat trouble, and it was 'Gfraymorc who was most instrumental in taking the countv-seat away from Hill Springs and . D moving it twelve imiles in the hills, away off from nowhere, to the center of the county- His object was as plain as the nose on your face to' a cool-headed fellow' He wanted the new site placed on his land so the price would increase to a nice little slice, but more important still, he wanted to carry on his bootle0'0'in0' business in his own 11tt DD D lu town to suit himself. He wasn't called the whiskey king for nothing The question ol' moving the county-seat was agitated night and day, and finally, through Graymores influence, bribes, cigars and whiskey, it was moved to the center of the county, within fifty yards of Gray1nore's tract, and the new town was called Kay. Clayburn .was a half-breed Cherokee-one of these tall, straight, handsome fellows that the mixing of the two races often produce-frank-facecl-well educated-but juS'f il young, happy-go-lucky sort off chap and we didn't expect him to put up much of at fiol t. 0 - ' ' ' gi Imagine, then, our surprise when we heard that he had refused Graymore's handsome offer for his sixty acres of hills and rocks, includino' new Kay. Those of us D . who knew Graymore, knew that such a refusal could only mean a fight to the finishg so w ' 't ' ' ' OW ' ' ' e, as ci mens of Hills Springs, straightened up to watch the scrap. Graymore made the first move-he always did, and usually the last too! He staked out his lots: named his town New Kayg erected a stone court house and offered it to the' county- free gratis-only to be declined-with thanksg while only a hundred yards away, in old Kay, the county was busy constructing, because of lack of funds, only a frame build- ing to shelter their records. Each town tried to out-rival the other in building new stores, hotels, cafes and the like. The fi Kay, stuffing the boys with booze. Jim Clayburn politely pulled out a gun and told him to get out and stay o-ut. Then folks began to line-up. The Cherokees, who com- prised a large part of the population, and a number of other people who weren't dazzled by lGraym0re'S 1T1iUi011S', Were with Clayburng while on the othe' h l G2 ' lc ' - 1 ana i iymoie l'lIl a large number on his side, who stuck fo-r various reasons. There was onlv one per- son of th tv f t' . e X o l ac ions who dared to come and go as she pleased, and that was Dora, Graymores gay little step-daughter, whom everybody, on both sides' loredg and who was, as so-me one from Hill Springs expressed it, Jim Clayburn's best friend. Graymore fought with a bull dog's tenacity, but he seemed to be loosing ground, and then came the time he played his biggest card. The night he chose for his meet- ing was as bad as the work he had to dog a dark scowly night -so black you coulcln't see your hand before your face. The two men who met him at the old log cabin were the usual reprobates who did his dirty jobs for him. They were there when he arrived. slouching around the old table which, with the exception of a long bench and a broken backed chair, was the only furniture in the room. A dirty black cloth hung over the o-ne little window to hide from any chance passerby the feeble light of the smoke blackened lamp on the table. Graymore entered with a bustle, tgok the chair and at oncf: began business. ght began in earnest one day when Graymore was polknosing around in Old I asked you boys here tonight to do a piece of work for me I want you to burn that courthouse in Old Kay.

When the deal was made, Dawson stuffed into his pocket a small piece of paper. which slipped through a hole and fell unobserved to the floor, and on which was write ten.

If yo-u can explain what it was that caused Dora Graymore to go inside the olrl cabin the next day, as' she was out riding, you can beat any of us folks of I-Iill Springs for wits. Anyway, she did go in, and she found the note her father had written for Dawson lying on the cabin floor. After carrying it around all day, trying to think what was best to do, she marched right over to Old Kay, her pretty face as white as 21 sheet, and her merry blue eyes full of tears, saying over and over to herself, -:qt jS11't for .Iim Clayburn's sake that I'm doing this, it's' because right is right, and gave the note to Clayburng told him where she had found it and surprised him by asking: What had we- better do first?

The joy and ex- uberance ot youth intermingle with the sage wisdom and profound knowledge of the disciple of learning. A veritable garden of the gods-our campus! Away from the dusty street of a busy town, let us seek a place of quiet and re- freshment. We emerge from a wilderness of flowers ot every color and variety on the outer edge of the campus, and follow the broad, white walk, bordered on either side with ever blooming roses, to the time worn steps of Clentral Hall. The vines cling lovingly to the wall of this old building, as if to shield them from the ravages of time. As we sit beneath the windows, we hear the busy Click of typewriters l'rom above, and the busy hustle of the machine shop below. Far above us, from the tiny. windows in the top of the building, floats a clear, sweet soprano voice, singing From the laand of Sky-Blue Water. We resume our walk. To the north we hear the lively strains of a well-trained band, and follow the gravel walk to learn the source of the music. Through the tall trees we see the brown brick walls' and gleaming white pillars of North Hall. The band music is now hushed, ag save for the strains of a violin, and the tinkling melody of a piano, the sound here is more subdued. T-lere resound the echoes' ot the modern and ancient classics, mingling with the busy hum of printing press and sewing itchen, and the strong odor of chemicals tell machine.

We hear not only the voice of the past, but also the trumpet call of the present and the 'future bringing to the eager boys and girls the vrictical knowledge of our HSE l i - D ,' , . . . l , One by one these sounds die away. Directly east ot us we see another building ol red brick. As we draw near it, we hear merry shouts, and at the door we are greeted by a Class of girls glowing xvith health, and with eyes sparkling with excitement. This of course is the gymnasium-the palace of health which equips so many lives with the 1 ' s , . p v Y. . weapons of sound minds and sound bodies and high moial pimciples. . .V - encircling the campus, southward. we pass by the Power As we follon the ioa , s V1' l f inishes heat for the buildings.

Loyalty is the will to believe in something eternal and to QXDTGSS that belief in - - l ' l life of human bein . thc Iiiaifiii man has a-cause winch he personally values.. Otherwise, he could not be devoted to it. He takes interest in the cause and loves it. But loyalty never means following merely your own pleasures viewednas your. private pleasure and interest. It means so choosing a cause and so serving it that, in consequence of our life loyalty among men shall prosper. . , Since we must decide for ourselves as to which cause we. are going to serve, and are ignorant of the outcome, we must, if we can, decide knowinglyg 1f not, then lgnor- antlyg but in any case decide, and not fear our choice. Tradition has .usually held that a man ought to be loyal to that cause which his social station! determines for 'h1m. It also holds that if a man is born in a certain country and still lives there, he ought to be loyal to that country, and to that country only, hating the enemles across the border whenever strife requires him to. In our own country during the Civil War and many years after. the churches of the North and South were enemies to. each other, and there a man's politics determined his religious loyalty. But we have found that true loyalty includes some element of free choice. Let us bury the natural body of tradition. What we want is its glorified body and its immortal soul. - Some of the causes for which men have worthily died are: devotion of a martyr to his religion. as Wycliifeg devotion of a patriot to his country, as Abraham Lincolng and devotion of a ship's captain to the requirements of his office, as Captain Smith of the Titanic. We all do not have these chances, or it is not our will to. serve so romantic a cause, but we are under the same obligations. Any one who for a time, is in charge of the lives of others-for instance, anyone who takes a party of children on a pleasure trip- may have the opportunity to show as genuine a loyalty as does the true hearted cap- tain of the sinking ship. Any one who has friends may devote his lfe to some cause which his friendship defines for him and makes, in his eyes, a sacred one. Loyalty may therefore exist among the lowlies and among the lofties of mankind. We all have various opportunities for loyalty. The habit of loyalty is one that should be cultivated during our school life, it cer- tainly will not spring into full-iiedged development at some future time when it hap- pens to be wanted. Some fantasies of chidhood are indeed but a preparation for loyalty. In childhood there appears, in many different ways, forms of conduct which include a simple. but ac-h1a.l loyalty to the cause the child understands. We all know some of these forms. The members ot' a gang of boys, sometimes of bad boys, show loyalty to the cause represented by the gang. The parent or teacher who triiies with the honor of children by encouraging the talebearer is simply encouraging disloyalty. Student loyalty may be easily divided into two forms, which have become important in the life of the American student. One form is loyalty to the fraternal organization, very often to a secret fraternity. The other form is loyalty to. one's school or institu- tion. Both forms have their bad as well as their good qualities. The secret fraternity may become an organization for general mischief 5 while loyalty to the school may over- excite the student. and may even do. harm to the general loyalty of the school by incit- ing him to adopt the spirit of unfair play. This is especially true, of both forms when they are initiated in the lower schools. This shows that lovaltv should grow a,s does the child. . But yet we must not overlook the good it may do for the student. Fair play 11? E301-ts ii a gocpdlinstagnce ofmlOYalty, which may be learned in school.

'ap I. .,, When we are through school and go out into the affairs of life among our fellow men, if we become employers of other men we shall lay great stress on the loyalty of our employees, and if we cannot trust them and they do not Work for our intrests, we do not want them, however skillful they may be in their line of work. The same test will be put to us if we seek employment. However, the matter simply reduces itself to this, that a man who is not loyal is not wanted by anyone for anything. Everyone has some cause to which he is loyal after he has given his first devotion to. his work. Some possible causes are: friendship, the devotion to the members of one's own family, and the government of one's own country. All social functions may furnish causes which may call forth loyalty. But it is plainly to be seen that no one can be loyal to all the social causes that exist. A robber band, a pirate crew, or a high- land robber clan of the o.ld days, might furnish causes to which someone has been or is loyal. Yet all of us readily see that they are causes unworthy of a person's loyalty. The loyal man may often have to show his loyalty by some act which has not been predetermined. He may have to be as original in his conception of his duties as he is faithful to them. An incident of English History, which I now call to mind, shows that personal worth and beauty of original loyalty. In 1642, just before the outbreak of the hostilities between King Charles I and the Commons, the king had resolved to arrest certain leaders of the opposing party in parliament. The king sent his herald to the House to demand that these men be turned over' to. him. The speaker of the House in reply appealed to the privileges of the House, which gives to that body juris- diction over its own members. The king resolved to force authority upon them the following day. He went in person, accompanied by his soldiers, to the House. He stationed his guards at the doors, and went up to the Speaker, Do you espy these per- sons in the House ? The speaker of the House at once fell on his knees before the king and said, Your Majesty, I am Speaker of this House, and being such, I' have neither eyes to see nor tongue to speak, save as this House shall commandg and I humbly beg your Majesty. A cause is good, not only for me, but for mankind. It is an aid and furtherance of loyalty in my fellowmen. My causefis an evil one, if it is destructive to the loyalty of my fellowmenf If I have any cause at all, I have fellowmen whose loyalty mine supports. But if my cause lives by overthrowing the loyalties of others it is an evil cause, because it is disloyalty to the very cause of loyalty itself. Everyone inevitably finds himself as apparently occupying the center of his own universe. The starry heavens form to his eyes a sphere, and he himself is at the cen- ter of that sphere. We must be individualistsg seek our own individual' good, and in- dividual loyalty, unsparingly and with all our heart and soul. This in the end is no selfish policy, for This above all, to thine own self be true And' it must follofw as night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man. Loyalty has its religious forms also. Loyalty tosreligion brought men across an uncharted sea to the vvilds of America. It took David Livingstone into the heart of Africa, and lifted the veil from that Dark Continent. It was Christ's loyalty to His teachings which caused Him to give ,up His life for us. Therefore, let loyalty he our pearl of great price. Loyalty, like mercy, in Port1a's mercy speech, is not alxvayg uinightiest in the mightiest,', but becomes the thorned monarch better than his crown. 16? In Memoriam Miss Ruby Williams was 'born November 24, 1893. Miss Williams, or Ruby, as she was affectionately called by those who knew her best, was graduated from this Institu- tion in May, 1914. During the school year of 1914-15 she was employed as assistant secretary to the President, and'du1'ing the present school year she was serving as assist- ant teacher inthe Stenographic Department of the Institution. The entire community was shocked to hear of her death eat 7:15 Saturday morning, January 22. For two weeks her multitude of friends had anxiously listened for some little token to give them hope of her recovery. Thousands of times the question was asked among teachers andstudents, How is Ruby? She was not the loss of a single home, it was the loss of the entire community. Thee funeralsfservices were .held at the Methodist Church Sunday, January 23, at 2 o'clock. Rev. Klienstiber, assisted by Rev. Lovell of the Christian Church and Rev. Bowles of the Baptist Church, conducted the services. , A double quartette, composed of members of the State School Faculty, furnished music throughout the service. They sang again at the cemetery. The church was made beautiful by an abundance of choice flowers, sent by her many friends, to bear a message of comfort to her sorrowing relatives. Probably nothing could have better shown how loved and respected Miss Williams was, than the presence of some 2000 friends at the funeral. The Faculty and students of the school joined the family in deep regret for the loss of one so dear to all of us. 1 ' This sad event brought to the hearts of all who knew her, and especially to the members of this Faculty, a sorrow so deep, a grief so poignant, that its echoing throb will cease only when memory shall have passed within -the unseen influence of the future. . Kind and generous, tender and gentle, the mirror of truth and honor, our hearts swell with every beat in eulogy of the lovely woman and devoted teacher. Her ability. heiruntiring energy, her warm, deep sympathy, her professional spirit, had won her the universal esteem, love and admiration 'of her fellow laborers. ..Proud of her success, won through patient effort, loyal, unselfish service, and earnest endeavor, glorying in the noble example bequeathed to us, with hearts thrilling in tender memory of our fellow teacher, dead on the field of honor, and bowed in reverent recollection of the gentle spirit new departed, iwe record our grief for her. 164 V ,- .

Faye Richards Athletics in the State School for boys and girls is directed by F. F. Foster and Miss E. Faye Richards, respectively. Foster comes to us from the A. 85 M. College at Stillwater, and Miss Richards from the State Normal at Emporia, Kansas. Both have proven their worth in their line of work, as the records of the various teams will attest. Especially the girls' basket ball team made a remarkable record, losing only one game throughout the entire season. At the beginning of the school year there was a change in the director of athletics from that of the previous year. Although not so lucky as in some of the past years, the' teams of the boys did good work. Under this management much enthusiasm has been taken in tennis by both boys and girls, this year being the first time that, the State School has entered the Tennis Tournament at Norman. In the regular gymnasium work Coach Foster has been assisted by Prof. C. E. Johnson. K The State School has 'one of the finest athletic fields in the state. On this field is located four well-kept tennis courts, a football field, baseball diamond, and a 440 yard track The gymnasium is next to the best in anybstfite institution. It is equipped l t ' 'd t k ' .with Iockei' rooms, swimming pool, showers, baslcet a cour , 1ns1 e rac , swings, and parallel bars. In this building are also the d1rectors' offices. 167 5355 ' -H3 3- Qgg n Football lechedule 1914 U. PQ S.-Blackwell High ........ ........ T ,onkawa .... ....... Fairmount-U. P.

O i D With Henry Kendall theboys met a surprise and heavy defeat, being unable to score while Kendall piled up 47 points. Then came Kingfisher to hearten the boys up a bit, U. P. S. winning easily. Score 19-0. The team went to Stillwater, feeling that they had everything to win and nothing to lose. And altho badly crippled, succeeded in holding the farmers to a score of 48-O. Next, Northwestern of Alva came down confident of victory, but limped sadly home to the tune of 23-0. U. P. S. ' won easily. The battle royal of the season was fought at Enid, against Phillips, U. P. S. win- ning by the narrow margin of four points. Score 7-3. On Thanksgiving we locked horns with the second team from Oklahoma University. 'Twas a bloody fight for sixty minutes with neither side being able to score. This was the second scoreless game of the season.

Review of the Season 1 The first football game of the season opened with Perry High School, on Friday October Znd, Tonkawa winning by a score of 46 to 13. The first half ended with a score of 20 to 7 in favor of the State School. The next half our boys continued to score and made four touch downs. Par-I ker, our big full back, accounted for three of these, making at one time a smash over center for a twenty-two yard gain. . The next game of the season was played with Philips University on our field. This was the best game of the season. The men were in good shape to meet the Preachers. The game was bitterly contested, both teams put up a good fight, but the Preachers in the last half proved too strong for our boys, the game ending with a score of 14 to 17, in favor of Philips.. This was the first time in six years thatwe had lost a game' at home. The third contest of the season was with the Ponca' Indians, Haskell, Carlisle, and Chilocco Indians,old veterans,on Friday November the-fifth.Our boys won over the Indians by a score of 68 to 0. As to size the teams were about evenly matchedybut when it came to real football the Red Sk-ins were far outclassed. During the entire game the Indians only made their downs twice, and our boys never lost the ball on downs a single time. In the' season of 1914 we defeated the Ponca Indians by a score of 116 tc 0. 1 The fourth game of the season was played with Alva, State Normal. Our boys were badly beaten and crippled by the State Normalites,l the score ended 39 to 0 in favor of Alva. The cause, no doubt, of our boys being so badly beaten is that they went to Alva in cars, and were in no shape for the game. A The fifth game of the season was with Blackwell High School on their field. Blackwell defeated the State School by a score of 13 to 0. The boys of both teams were well matched for size. But owing to the fact that just a few days previous to the game our boys played Alva and the result of the game left them in bad condition. Some of our best players were unable to play, and men of the second team had to be substituted. This is the first time that Blackwell ever defeated our boys. The Claremore game was the last game of the season, played on Thanksgiving Day at Claremore. This was the cleanest game of the season. Both teams showed good spirit, but as the Claremore boys were used to la muddy field, they were better able to handle themselves. They defeated our team by a score of 13 to O This is the first time in the history of the two schools that Claremore has defeated our team. 1 9 1 5 ,,1 .,., Basket Ball ,111-215 U. fP.

The game was played on the home floor and our girls were victorious with a score of 118-12. The next game was played at Newkirk with the Newkirk High School. The game was close from start to finish, both teams leading in score at different intervals of the game. When the whistle blew for the close of the last half the score was a tie. The players resumed their positions and our girls scored first, making the final score 28-25 in our favor. The game with the Medford girls was another victory for our girls, the final score being 17-9. The game was hard fought and the points gained by both sides were won. Our girls played their next game at Enid with Phillips University. The Phillips girls were larger but not so fast as our girls, so we woln with a score of 19-7. I The next game was played at home with Phillips University. The Phillips girls threatened to take the scalps of the Tonkawa girls but had to go home defeated with a score of 21-6. ' The game at Perry was interesting and both teams played hard. Although Perry held the top end of the score at the end of the first half our girls were on top when the game was ended, with a score of 17--13. The last game of the season was played with Blackwell High School team. Al- though they were able to defeat our girls on their floor, the final score in the game at Tonkawa was 16-4 in favor of our team. The girls have done excellent work this year and out of the eight games which they played only one was lost. 182 E Girl gigfwwiggi-ifggk 45' , ixt...-.1 , '- n , . ,.. A 'S Basket Ball 714-'35 U. P.

' 1 185 r inter-Class Football l Sophomore Champions h ' A ' The class football games, although not as exciting as the interclass basketball games, were watched with considerable interest by the classmen. The championship honors wert to the Sophomores, by their defeating the Senior team by a score 'ot' 13-0. The Senior team was crippled on account of having so many men on the first team, and the Juniors did not have enough boys to form a team. The hardest fought of all the games was between the Commercials and Sophomores, the outcome of which was uncer- tain until the whistle blew, with the score standing 14-13 in favor of the Sophomores. The Freshman team, although practically all of them were small men. put up a good iight, and gave promise of a renowned football team in the future, being defeated by the Sophomores with a score of only 13-7. The game which created the most excitement was the 'one between the Sophomores and Seniors. The Sophomores had fought their way up to the Championship game by defeating the Freshmen and the Commercials. The Seniors, since the Juniors had forfeited their game on account of lack of men, had reached their standing without playing a game. Under the coaching of Schwab, Varsity quarterback, however, they had been practising for some time, and they entered the game with arfull supply of confidcnce, perhaps too much. The two teams worked with all their might, but in spite of all efforts of the Seniors, the Sophomores scored a touchdown and kicked goal. In a few minutes, after some desperate fighting, the Sophomores ,again scored a touchdown, hut failed to kick goal. From that time neither team scored and the game ended with the score 13-0.

A greater class spirit, enthusiasm, and support was probably never witnessed before. Although. a small admission was charged each time, yet the students turned out in great numbers to cheer their favorites on to victory. The wide-awake Freshman class, who have all year nearly bubbled over with energy, Put up a swift little team that well nigh carried off the championship. There were many tense moments of doubt and anxiety on the Seniors' part during that last game- the championship game. It was the greatest event of the series, and very evenly matched. The Seniors had more experienced men, but the Freshmen had men who had spent hours. at practice andwere highly efficient. It was a hilarious evening from begmning to end. The Freshmen funeral was celebrated, or rather begun and the ser- mon 'drowned by the howls, yells and screeches of the supposedly dead Freshies. Next in order came the Sophs, Commercials and the Juniors. All of these teams had good men in them, but every member was not so experienced as were those of the winning teams. Experience, practice, and team workis what counts in a game. The Seniors will not be in school next year, but they predict that if the present energy still remains, those Freshies will give somebody a hard race. . 189 W 1 9 1 6? L A AAA.

The boss, John Milton, was sittmg on an inverted milk pa.l. puffing vigorously at a big rose wood pipe. Some one remarked that it was JOl1l1'3 time to relate an experience, The boss took a deep drag at his pipe and began: Th',s reminds me, boys,,of a time about ten years ago, when l was driving an over- land stage in eastern Oregon, from Salton, the end of the railroad, to Pine Flat, a little town out in the valley near the mountains. about eighty miles away. The road ran over mountains, through gorges and around rim rocks, and it was very difficult to follow, especially at night. My drive was from noon till midnight. One afternoon in April, l started out from Salton, driving six horses, two bronks which 1 had in the swing, so they were of no bother to keep in the road. My lead team was true and willing, but ,my Wheelers were balky. The stage station was on the top ol' a little ridg. . After loading the express, baggage, mail, and about four hundred pounds of strawberries, l was ready for the passengers. A party ol' land grafters had just come into that part of the country. They were said to be a bad lot. lke Bowman. the man who had the reputation of being the shrewdest and worst grafter in the West. now came out of the hotel followed by three other men. There were an old gentleman and two' young fellows. The old man was tall and looked to be about fifty years of age. I heard him tell the hotel keeper that his name was Thompson, and he was from Iowa. He said the two young men were his son and nephew. The nephew was low and heavy, with an expression of hard work on his face. The old man called him George. The son was tall, and slender. l-le was prob- ably twenty-four years old. They-were not dreSsed as speeulators, but as substantial farmers, While standing by the coaclrbefore starting, l heard George remark, 'Harry, do you think the girls would like it out here?' Al last we were ready to start, l climbed to the boot, took up the lines in one hand and the long whip in the other, kicked loose the brake. The coach started to roll down the steep incline. .lust then the bronks began to run and kick. The Wheelers balked, but the leaders were heading down the road, holding the bronks straight, the wheelers began to rear. and we were on our road for a twelve hours drive. The big coach lumber-ed and rattled over the rocks as we descended the half mile gradeg we were going at breakneek speed, the wheelers had abandoned all idea of balking. At the foot cf the hill ran the beautiful little river, Blackbear. There was no bridge so wc had to ford. The water was about hub deep, and very clear. After we Crossed the river our trip was more peaceable. There were stat'ons every twenty miles, We pulled into the first station house at about the middle of thevafternoon. Here we changed teams. l heard this slick tongued devil, Bowman, laying it off to' the three men. The young fellows seemed to be drinking it in. He was telling them how fine the country was, and what wheat and sugar beet crops they raised. l knew he had his hooks pretty well set in the boys. but the old man was not so easy as the young fel- lGWS- 3011 DOY-S UPU take that two thousand of yours, and buy a lot of that land, and l'll be hanged if it won't make you rich in 'five years.' l say they were tender feet, so l thought l would drop them a hint to go easy. T had :wen that same fellow graft a widow on a land deal, so l said to myself, you won't these fellows if l can help it. We were soon on the 1'oad again, thins time driving SIX or HS SJQOG ll0l'S9S as a man ever swung a whip over. We drew into the second station house at about six o'clock that afternoon. Here we always ate supper and put on the third relay of horses, at Q.ilHElfTiQl'Ei,t33.1..2el,'?L.J.? flletfiiiilmiftr ,fitter We W trembltfl Va' ,T-lis tongue was as slick 'is the dOu'l' le Hon mimi tertlhty Qt the Que Bluff 'ink it was a scecond Nile AST liste eflHtS'1'He'iVOubd have U39 Drpspectwe buyer?

It was nothing but a dry alkali flat. The 204 5 , , , H . - Q2 sv ffv' 1'. i:1,:m . .Y . soil was of a white chalky color, very light and powder-like. The entire valley was C0l'91'ed with 10059 TOURS- The CNY moisture was from the snow and a few rains in the summer. But. the land shark kept his slick tongue at them. At last he exclaimed, 'That Country will grow twenty tons o' sugar beets to the acref The old gentleman, who had 'become some what disgusted and doubtful of these statements, looked across the table at me, and I knew my time had come. I expressed myself freely. I told him I run cattle over tha.t very valley for ten years. He then ask me to express my opine ion of the country. Glad of a chance to put a hole in this windbag of a Bowman. UWGU, b1'0th91', I said, that valley is good for a man Who wants to go into the goat business: I will not say that it is good for cattle, for Cattle cannot live on sage brush. But if you wa-nt to start a goat ranch, here's your chance. 'W-hat about that twenty tons of beetsf Harry asked. I have been in a sugar beet country for a long time, and I have never seen but two twenty ton fields. They were under irrigation. Now as to raising that crop of beets without irrigation, that is out of the question. This country won't' grow beets, Grow beets' in that dust and brush? Well! I guess not. 'What keeps up the town, out there? the old man asked. The silver mines in the mountain, and innocent homeseekers just like you fellows, I replized. - 'What is this matter to you?' the shark shouted boisterously. 'It is none of your business to be shooting off your head about the country? It is' enough for me or any other man who is not willing to see an honest man, fleeced. I answered. 'You don't know a damn thing about the valleyg you never punched cattle out there,' the real estate grafter roared. This was too much for me to be called a liar by such a thief as I knew Bowman to be. You don't call me a liar and get off with it, I replied. 'That is just what you a.re,' the grafter replied. As he spoke I swallowed the last of my coffee, and let drive my heavy cup at his head. He ducked, and the cup went through'a window into the yard. I-Ie made for me swinging his chair over his head. I arose from the table and stepped to the Center of the room where there was plenty of space, for I thought I had matched a real one with the booster. He never got more than a step from the table, for the old man col- iared him and pushed him back in the corner. I told him how the land lay, and if he was not satisfied I would accommodate him. He soon cooled off. The old gentleman stepped up to me with an extended hand, and said warmly, 'Young fellow, I believe you are made of the right stuff, you said just what I have been thinking about it all day.' 'Skin'ner, you pay the expense of this trip, n-ow, and I'll fix you yet, you've blowed up 'ai 'deal for me.' The land man said. I pay nothing for a grafter like you, I replied. 'Here is a ten dollar bill I want to give to an honest manf broke in the old gentle- 'Y h ve saved me about five thousand dollars, and all the boys have, for they man. ou a . f intended to put what they have in land out here.
