If Elk was the lord of the trading post, U, Sf, Mack, as he was called for short, was master of the trading. That is, he was powerful to make or break Skag- ginac trading post, It depended on him alone whether or not the weekly supply of pelts poured into the rude wooden building controlled by Joe Elk. If Joe held power of life and death over the men of the post, U, S.'s word was law to the half-breeds and natives on whom the post depended for skins. U, S. Mack was a gigantic brute who had left the United States for reasons of his own. Hence came the name by which he was known. There were few as bad and none worse than he in Alaska, He and Elk were friendsg the kind of friends men are when it is indispensible to the other for a livelihood. But under the skin there smouldered a firce hate which threatened to burst out continually. Tonight Joe and U, S, had been discussing the business projects of the coming month during which Mackin- son would be up North. Elk remarked U, S. could have made a sale at Fort Silver if only he had gone on before. Several buyers from the States were to be there for three or four more days. The sum he mentioned that these buyers paid interested U, S. he said he'd go. .Elk laughed and bet him a sack of dust he couldn't make it. U, S. took the bet in a rage and Elk sneered. The hate between them burst out in a moment and it was then Mackinson's voice had first attracted attention, Outside with his men UU. S. brieHy stated his enterprise. It was char- acteristic of his discipline that no one thought of remarking on it. A light sled was swiftly hitched to the six strongest dogs and a sack of skins was strapped on it. The question of provisions arose. U, S, was out of food, He would have to ask Elk for more supplies or risk the trip on what he couldgather from his men. Mackinson grinned and then swore. He would not ask Elk for provisions, curse him. He'd show him! Hastily some scant supplies were gotten together and then U, S, clad in fur from top to toe stepped onto the sled and was off with a crack of the whip, He was well under way before Elk got up from the table and sauntered out of the saloon. His nonchalance fooled no one. They all knew. Dirty work without a doubt! Elk entered his private office and came out a moment later loading a revolver, He was dressed for sledding. A group of men through the saloon door saw him pass out into the night. What's up? said one, If yer askin' me grinned another evilly, I'll say Mack's up to dirty work and Elk's plannin' ter go him one better. Them two sure do hate hard. All I hope's they'll kill each other some day. The speaker was right. Mackinson knew Elk had sent men on with skins anyhow. He'd never told him about it if he hadn't. By doing so saved Elk the discount otherwise due U, S. He also knew the sled were heavy and loaded well. Moreover, his own dogs were superior to any man's at the post and he felt it would ' In Q THE PEABODY 19 be easy to beat Elk to the coveted treasure of gold and whiskey. Added to this, he had a thorough knowledge of the undertaking and knew how to cope with its perils. Elk knew all this too. He therefore conceived the idea of shadowing Mack to a convenient barren, and then shooting him from behind, taking the sled and going to the fort with the skins. He did not stop to consider the fact that he was undertaking the very thing he bet U, S. couldn't be done. That was like Joe. It was a matter of a few moments for him to put his dogs in the traces of a small flyer. A can of provisions was stowed away and inside of five minutes two tracks in the snow crust might be seen where one had been before. U, S. drove at a hard pace, never slackening but never increasing. It was a pace that would go on for sometime, finish up with a slightly greater speed and then U, S. would need new dogs. He knew this but dogs were a smaller matter in this moment of hate and greed. A lone wolf howled dismally at a little distance but no other sound broke the stillness save the flying feet of the dogs and the swish of the sled runners on the snow. On and on through the night ceaselessly raced Makinson while a mile or so behind pursued Joe Elk. Twice during the first day he stopped to rest his dogs but Joe kept on intent on making up the distance that night. He did not need to save his dogs because he would use Makinson's after he had killed him. That saw the northern star low in its course before Elk came in sight of U. S. A revolver cracked and re-echoed over the waste as the nearly spent dogs ate up the remaining space. U. S., stooping to adjust a robe saved his life. Like a Flash he drew and fired full into the oncoming sled. Elk crumpled up and the dogs came to a stand. U. S. stopped also and possess- ed himself of everything of value including the supplies. By dawn the streaking drifts had made Joe Elk's last bed invisible forever. On pushed U, S. as if nothing had happened. Hate was dead but greed still lived and urged him on. Morning of the third day saw him entering the narrow pass which brought him out less than a mile from his destination. But his dangers were not yet over. He 'had withstood the strain and had saved his dogs, he had held to the trail but he was yet to pass between two great ice moun- tains alive with sliding snows and falling icicles. Carefully the sled pro- ceeded until the opening of the pass was in sight. Then Fate snapped a trace strap. With an oath U, S. rolled out to repair the damage. A crash- ing roar as though a hundred cannon suddenly filled the air. Makinson whirled to see a mountain of snow and ice rushing down upon him so swiftly that scarcely had his cry been uttered than it was buried with him under forty feet of death. Pk at wk wk an The men at the post said little but were much relieved. Many stories arise as to the fate of the two men but none know the truth that the snows of many years cover. 20 THE PEABODY 1919 Chalmers Siviter The New Year bells ring out, Heralding an Unknown Lightg Singing a story of blood and the dead And a triumphant, victorious fiight.

' THE JOY OF WRITING A SHORT STORYU Fannie Aaron I ' Imagine the horror of coming into your classroom one bright sunny morning-in a perfectly good humor, remember-well prepared for a gram- mar examination in all the one thousand and one rules of VVoolley, and then having your teacher inform you that he is in a beastly humor. What visions of a stiff test! Then he calmly remarks that he is experiencing a headache, the first in five years, and intends to work it off on his innocent, peace-loving class. It is a terrible situation, I admit, but try to picture it. Well, he has received a fresh supply of theme-paper from the supply-A room. The sight of it lying on his desk worries him, irritates him. in fact it seems to torment him. He has no room for it in the book-case. Imagine the rest, remembering all the while the headache, the paper, and the fact: that there is a conspicuous lack of stories in his protege, The Peabody. THE PEABODY 21 But the thing must be done thoroughly. First he reads us a selection from the Bible, putting us in a very reverential frame of mind. Then, in a calm, mechanical manner, he passes us theme-paper, white paper with blue lines and red margin. Oh, yes, there is no getting around that-it is beauti- ful paper. Forty-iive minutes for a short story, he bellows forth. In those awful words he gives vent to all his pent-up emotions and with this one shriek he transmits to us his headache. In feverish haste to assuage his ruffled spirits we write, write-but nobody knows what. Is it a story? Yes, if it is labelled as such. Is it a theme? If it is, it would draw an E. What is it then? Heaven knows what! Having at last ourselves come to this realization, we pause, we hesi- tate, then throw aside our masterpiece. At this the man with the headache remarks that it is sometimes well to write and keep on writing until We find the story, then start over again. Then he turns to the most hopeless of the class and asks her if she has found her story. Oh, if you are sympathetic, your hearts will go out to her, for the next minute he-walks up to her desk, balances his spectacles on the tip of his nose puts his 'hands on his hips, frowns at her terribly, stares and bursts out in a shriek of laughter. When she tells him she can't write a short story- he doesn't laughg he roars. What shall she do? She is desperate. Still he stares and laughs. By some miraculous instinct she looks at her watch, and lo! the bell rings. ...wi DAYBREAK I saw her as she stood upon the cold gray rock, A silver shadow in the trembling dawn, With arms outseretchedg a moment poised- And yet another moment she was gone. And then the sun, in all his yellow majesty, Arose to shine upon one, who, with deft Strokes sped, Hera like, across the sapphire lake, And on the lonely rock that she had left. X jane Reynolds. THE CURSE ' Saul Makrauer I had known him for a long time, indeed a very long time, and always when I went to see him, he would captivate me with his wonderful stories- stories of Revolutionary days, of the Indians, and of the great outdoors. One day I happened upon him when he was in an unusually conversational mood, and surely as the inevitable, I was soon listening to one of his marvel- ous adventures. 22 THE PEABODY It was back in the eighties, back in the gold-seeking days when Biscuit and I met. VVe were both on our way to the valleys of plenty, lured on by the mad cry of gold, and were thrown together by mere chance. He hasn't much on education and his sense of the beautiful was terribly lacking, but he was a man, with a man's thoughts and actions. I took a liking to Biscuit at the start, and, before we had hit the trail much further, we decided to team together and share alike. VVhen we reached the gold fields, we staked our claim back in the mountains, and built a hut not far from the mine. VVell, Biscuit and I worked that claim for four long years- without the slightest set-backs or misfortunes. Out there under God's sky and untainted air we enjoyed the lot that had befallen us. Occasionally Biscuit would heed the call of Sandy Neck, that was the one-'horse town near our claim, and there he would while away an .evening talking to the fellows, or playing cards, or dancing at the Miners' Union. You look surprised. Yes, Biscuit could dance, crudely, I must say, but he could move his feet without tripping himself, so he was a dancer. Sometimes I would accompany him, and help him unload his excessive high spirits, and spend his lucre over the boards. But it was not the usual thing, for most of the evenings we spent at the hut, or took hikes into the mountains by moonlight. It was a glorious life, those four years of unbroken good fortune, and it seemed as tho we hit the trail. at last. But it did not last. There came a day. About the middle of April during our fourth year in the gold fields, I noticed a change come over Biscuit. It was gradual at first, slowly envelop- ing him like a foreboding cloud that precedes a thunder-storm. I couldn't believe it, but surely enough he was becoming a different man. I could make nothing of it at first. But as the days went by the change took shape. In- stead of the usual conversation and game of cards in the evening, he became morose and distant. His eyes had a far away look, dreamy, as if looking beyond into the invisible. I could hardly recognize the Biscuit of other days, so completely was his transformation enshrouding him. It seemed as tho he had something on his mindg what, I could not tell, for, when I asked him the reason for his coolness, he would only shrug his shoulders. He frightened me, and I had a vague instinct of something about to happen. Soon after I noticed the first change in Biscuit's manner, a strange thing happened. Instead of sitting quietly in his chair, as was his custom of late, he would pace up and down the room with his arms behind his back and his head bent forward. Now and then I could catch an occasional mutter- ing, and then, as if he were undecided, he would shake his head and look vacantly out of the window into the night. His eyes were fixed on something outside, and his body became motionless for minutes at a time. He ran his fingers thru his hair, and I could see his hand tremble as lie placed it over his forehead. Then in a convulsion of terror, with his hands out- stretched in front of him, as if to ward of some approaching monster of the night, he would cry out in hoarse whisper, 'The Damned Thing'. It was apalling, and in spite of my efforts to learn the reason for his maniacal conduct, it still continued. Night after night he paced the fioor, THEPEABODY 23 clasping his hands behind his back, and staring out into the darkness, always ending with the cry, 'The Damned Thing!' It began to haunt me, and in the middle of the night I would awake and look thru the window for 'The Damned Thingl' But, strange as it may seem, Biscuit appeared none the worse for his experiences, for, in the morning, he would say nothing of the matter altho I could detect an anxiousiand furtive look in his eyes that suggested worry and uneasiness. These fits began in the middle of April. They continued regularly until the early part of May when the reaction came. VVe had just finished a hard day's work at the mine, and both of us were well tired out. When we reached the hut, I did not take time to eat supper, but threw myself upon the bed and would have fallen asleep, had I not caught a glimpse of Biscuit moving suspiciously about the room. I could easily watch what he was do- ing without being seen myself, so I determnied to know once for all the reasons for his strange actions. As usual, he began pacing up and down the room. ,His whole body shook, and beads of sweat stood out on his forehead. CHe was as one dumb.j The moans this evening were unusually terrifyinig, for they would rise and fall like the swelling resonance of an organ note. But something singular happened during the pantomime, which I had not noticed before. He un- expectedly turned his eyes from the window and cautiously looked around the room as if to see if anyone were watching him. Then, satisfied that he was unnoticed, he bent his head downward, and gazed at something. I thought this out of the ordinary, but I had no time to come to a conclusion, for, before I could realize that had happened, he uttered a wild, shriek and pointed toward the window. As he pointed he moved backward, and, as tho some weird creature of the night were about to pounce upon him, he cried 'The Damned Thingl' and fell lifeless upon the floor. wk is wk :sf 4: . At this point in the story, I saw my friend turn his eyes toward the door. It slowly opened, and as I turned to see who had entered, I noticed a, peculiar smile play about his lips. Suddenly, with a hearty laugh, he jumped up from his chair, and cried out: VVhy hello, Biscuit! I was just telling my friend here how you re- hearsed for that play at the Miners' Ball. s--n 1-O- -. THE FORTUNES OF WAR Albert Kabet Never before had I realized how terrible, how hellish war really is. As I listened to the tale of this German I realized that war, besides en- shrouding in a dense fabric the hopes of civilization, takes fiendish delight in visiting that upon individuals which surpasses destruction in awfulness. I repeat to you the story he told me that day. It was in a convalescent hos- 24 ' - THE PEABODY pital for shell-shock patients. He took a puff at the fag I had given him, cleared his throat, and began. Our captain had ordered a gas attack. After the fumes of the destruc- tive gas had passed away, the order was given to charge. The American Marines held their first trench and they could fight! With little eagerness our men went over the top. I was leading the company since our captain had received a slight wound. I shall never forget that moment when with the lust of blood in my veins I went over the first American trench. The battle was nip and tuck but the Yanks would not give way. We charged and counter-charged but it availed us nothing. I raged at the useless effect of the attack and cursed my men who were everywhere falling back. Finally I rallied them together for one more at- tempt. This time we succeeded and held the Americans in a hand-to-hand encounter. An American Marine still wearing his gas mask was cutting down my men everywhere. God-but he fought! One after another they fell before the onslaught of this young fellow. Enraged I sprang at him. He parried my blows with cool skill. Then suddenly he stopped and fell back as if struck. He held up his hand and tried to stop me. I sneered at him and cursed him, taking advantage of his hesitation. I struck at him with my swordfuriously. He did not return my blows. I could not understand. He left an opening. With all the strength I had in my body I sprang at his throat. Once, twice I struck and he fell, his life blood ebbing out. As he fell he pulled OE his gas mask and- The blood rushed to my head. I thought my brain would burst. I fell to my knees beside the body-for-O God I-he was my brother! My brother who three years since had sailed to America with my widowed mother. The fighting men seemed to stagger before my eyes. All grew black. I fell into a dead faint where you found me and took me prisoner. Such are the fortunes of war. Your American general was right when he said, 'War is hell', and that is the place for men who make war to satiate their thirst for conquest. .... .O..?.....-T.i THE BROTHER YEARS Helen Muchnic It was a cold winter night. The ground was covered with snow that sparkled like crystals where the rays of the numerous electric lights fell upon it. It was evidently a night of festivity: every house glittered and shone in the brilliancy of its illuminationg every street presented an animated as- pect despite the late hour. People walked to and fro as though it were mid- day. The restaurants and theaters were crowded and every other place of amusement was alive with a joyous throng. The enjoyment seemed to be at THE PEABODY as 25 its height when lo! down the street came an old man. He was not dressed fashionably and seemed to take no part in the general conviviality. He dragged along painfully, carrying a heavy book under his arm and support- ing his feeble footsteps by a long staff on which he leaned. NVhat was most noticeable about his person, however, was his huge boots. They were old, worn and were smeared with blood-human blood so that every step the old man took left its mark on the white snow. ln this way the old man tramped along leaving his scarlet track behind him until seemingly exhausted, he threw himself down on the steps of a large building in front of which a great crowd had gathered. No one seemed to notice him and so he rested undisturbed. But why were there so many people in front of the building? The attraction was a large bill board on which in large red characters was printed a long para- graph under the heading War News. Everyone seemed interested in this notice with the exception of the old man. Yet, strange to say, he had more to do with it than anyone else. He it was who was responsible for it. He it was who had posted it up. He was the Old Year. 1917. The Year that will come down in history, as a year of sorrow, of blood, of mingled disaster and success. He was now going away and glad indeed were the blood-weary people to welcome the New. Down the street now came a fine young man. He held himself erect. walked resolutely, and looked around him with an expression of mingled in- terest and triumph. He was the New Vear, 1918, coming to see the old before his departure. He approached the old man and sat down beside him. Here was a picture of lost hope, withered courage, broken promise, misery, age, side by side with hope, youth, energy, strength, spirit, vigor, animation. The New Year first addressed the Old. Brother, said he, I have come to talk with you before you leave in order to learn your experiences and to profit by them during my future reign. If the old saying be true, rejoined the Old Year, that one can profit by another's mistakes, you will indeed be benefitted by an account of my trials. See, my hands, my boots, my whole person is smeared with human blood which even the tide of generations will notrbe able to wash away. Here the Old Year pulled out his enormous book from under his arm. This is the 'Record of Years', he said leafing through it. Here is the page on which you will write the history of your reign, and this is the one on which I have kept a memorandum of mine. See, it is written with blood, yes, human blood! See this paragraph, the bloodiest of all? It tells of the barbarous murder of innocent women and helpless children? This other one relates the story of intrigue-treacherous intrigue--which has broken up a great empire and made it helpless, an empire known as Russia. These lines tell of the various victories and disasters on the Western Front. Small victories paid for by the lives of thousands. Petty triumphs whose price was tears of mothers! Not much these, not much! chuckled the Old Year. Now look at this paragraph. It is the most glorious of allg it tells of the entrance of the greatest country in the world, the United States, into the war. This country, my brother, is the hope of future generations and it is the most pre- cious charge that I confide to you. Take care of it, brother, and preserve 26 THE PEABODY the principles for which it is fighting that they may not perish from the earth. But hark! I have not much longer to stay. I-Tear! the bells are beginning to tell my departure. Strive, brother, to make this world a better one than it was during my administration. It will be a hard task, brother, to reform these stubborn, uncompromising people. Nevertheless, I wish you success, plenty of it, brother! How glad the people are of my departure!

Babette had brown eyes. big brown eyes that laughed. And if there was anything that .Tasper loved above all else in the world it was brown eyes that laughed. That is not strange, you say, everyone does. Everyone indeed. At least so it was in the little village. THE PEABODY 27 Babette's eyes laughed at everybody. but their laughter was somehow a little different when she laughed at Jasper. just as the tones of Babette's voice were somehow softer when she spoke to him. Babette had never given the word, and nothing definite had been decided, but everyone understood, when the young men, uniformed and armed, march- ed swiftly from the village that Babette was going to wait for jasper to return. 1 . Weeks and months passed and brought no news from the departed' men. Things grew 'bad in the village. All were forced to labor night and day. Work did not agree with Babette. At first she managed to laugh and be but as the coarse work became heavier, and her back and feet ached, and her hands, grew rough and ugly, somehow l3abette's eyes forgot to laugh. Time went on 'but still no news. The village was taken and all were forced to work at even more disagreeable tasks: infinitely worse because-they were for the enemy. Work .did not agree with Babette. VVork undone meant punishment. As Babette's eyes had 'forgotten to laugh so they now forgot even to smile. :ic ek ak al: rf: rl: One day the villagers came back among the troops that drove the enemy from the town. That is what was left of the villagers came back. Among them was Jasper. Jasper had gone thru much. but he was a soldier and it had not made him forget how to laugh.

All had expected a wedding when jasper returned, but with never a backward glance he marched away again.

Strange things happen in these days and strangest of all was the quest upon which Dourai set out. He was growing old, past sixty now, and L-ife's years were beginning to lay their mark upon him. Then, one night, Dourai dreamed. A wonderful dream it was. Such a dream as the ancients had, such as they dreamed visions and at once set out to do its bidding. Now Dourai had always believed in dreams and who can prove that he was wrong in doing so? To him, then, on this memorable night, appeared an angel, holy and sublime, more beautiful than all earthly splendors rolled in one. A hush fell with his presence. Then, as out of the far ether, came his voice, calm, sure, sweet and melting, the forgotten tones of heavenly music. Dourai, -the Spirit said, what dost thou most desire of me? O, Spirit! he made answer, of all things I desire, the greatest is Eternal Youth and the Peace that goes with it. ' The Spirit smiled and so benelicent it seemed that a warm thrill filled Dourai and made him feel doubly blessed by having the favor of so great a heavenly being. Thou hast served thy Master well and long,'i the Spirit answered. So shall thy wish be granted thee, seek and thou shalt find. And so speaking he opened wide his golden wings and faded from Dourai's sight. In the morning when Dourai woke he could not realize that it was but a dream so real to him it seemed. Nevertheless, being a remarkable man, and one who knew good signs when he saw them, Dourai set out a little later on his quest, a quest as ancient as man himself. His goods were few, his friends were many. To leave the one it pained him not at all, to leave the latter touched his heart full heavily. Often and often, as he wandered o'er the land and sea, he questioned thus himself. VVhy did I leave my friends and home to seek afar so vain a thing. a goal which I shall never find ? But always came to him the remembrance of the Spirit and always he began again the search for Youth and Peace. Five years past by and left their mark on Dourai as years must always do. His hair had whitened as the snow, his clothes were worn and torn. The light of hope was slowly fading from a face where faith had always lived. At las.t, then, in despair he said sadly to himself, My quest is all in vain. I merely dreamed-it was no vision but a passing fantasy of the sleeping mind. I will give over this vain seeking and return unto my native land There will I end my days and may God grant me peace if not Eternal Youth. And so after many days he came again to his native city but found it changed indeed. His friends were gone, sc-me in eternal sleep, some to other lands and climes. Destitute, his small fortune spent in his vain searchings, he knew not where to go nor what to do. Then, in the high hour of his distress, he found a friend, one whom he had defended in the old days that were past when he, and not the other was in affluence. Dourai, the friend said, I have heard of your strange quest and tho THE PEABODY 29 I can not sympathize with it. vet, because you once helped me, when I was in need, I will do what little I can to aid you, not to find Eternal Youth, for that is beyond my power. but to find peace and happiness, the other half of that which you seek. Ninety miles from here, back into the mountains, I own a farm and cabin. No one lives there at present. As I have no use for it, if you would like to stay there, you may consider it as your own. Your only neighbors for miles will be the hills and forests, the birds and animals, the sun, the moon, and the air. Go and spend your days in peace there and I will see that you lack nothing that is within my power to grant. I thank you, friend, but it can not be so. Greatly would I like to do as you advise but Dourai never has nor never will be charity to anyone. It is not charity I offer but the just repayal of a lawful debt. Remember, Dourai, how, when my good name was at stake, you offered for my use your once plenteous fortuneg how to save me from disgrace and poverty you risked your all? Ah, I remember if you do not. I will be the debtor, not you, Dourai, if you accept my offer. Not because you owe men anything but because my heart grows old and tired and I long for the peace you speak of I will accept and go there to your cabin among the trees. to end my days in peace if God so will it. Dourai soon after took up his abode on the woodland farm. His friend had made provision for his food and clothing, and this, together with what Dourai was able to raise put him in a place of envious comfort. Often, in the days that followed, he walked along the forest paths, drinking into his very soul the wonder of God's handiwork. Often, too came the stirring call to leave it all and seek again in lands afar the Fountain of Eternal Youth but as the days and months lengthened into years he came to sec that here- he was best oft' and to be content to end his days here. Still, there lived within him the hope that somewhere, somehow, his vision would be fulfilled. Not that he was not happy, for surely no man that loved and reveled in the magnitude of nature as he did could be otherwise, yet, despite all this, this this hope was ever present. Then, after three years had passed by and Dourai began to feel that his stay on earth was short he had another vision. His friend, not hearing from him for so long felt sure that something was wrong so he came to see, and seeing Dourai's condition, and knowing that days alone were all that were left to his friend, he stayed to care for him and be with him at the last hour after which the soul takes flight and iourneys to those vast mysterious regions of the outer world. Dourai dreamed. and. just before he past into the final adventure he woke and spoke for the last time to his old friend. Ah, friend, I see the end, he said, and his voice tho feeble, was calm and sure. Remember, friend, the dream that once I told you of? The Spirit has returned and spoken once again to me, My quest has not been in vain I find. Unknowingly I have gained all that I sought. 'Youth-Eternal Youth-is of the heart, the soul. I-Ie.re, among the virgin trees I have gained peace of mind and happiness. Only the last-Eternal Youth-remained for 3O THE PEABODY me to gain. I sought for it as the Angel Spirit bade me do. 1 found it here. I pass from the earth but I do not die for the spirit of Eternal Youth is in my soul and Paradise shall be, because of it, doubly sweet and wonderful. The tired eyes closed for the last time-eves that had searched the world at the bidding of an angelic spirit of his dreams, eyes that had seen all phases of life and had chosen this, the last, as best, and as the friend tenderly crossed Dourai's hands on his breast a dry, choking sob shook him. Ah, yes. Dourai, you have found Eternal Youth and Peace, he whispered to himself. .-. , --1- 1 THE PHILOSOPHY OF RAGS Margaret jane Brooks. A To my neighbors, he is just an ordinary ragpicker-an aged negro who rides in a rickety old wagon drawn by an equally rickety white horse-while he drones in his uncertain monotone, Rags-old bottles-old iron-to-day. Ra-a-gs. People bargain with him, they call him ignorant, and think he has no feelings. The little children throw things at him and call him names --he is just a ragman to them. Do you want some old bones? they cry, and when the old man stops his horse they laugh in derision. Put your horse in your wagon! they shout, and the old man rides slowly off, shaking his wooly gray head from side to side. Sometimes a particularly daring urchin hurls the question broadcast, VVhat do you dress your wife in? and the unsuspecting negro chants his everlasting refnain, Ra--ags. To them, he is just a ragpicker-he buys and sells rags. To me, he is something more-he is a dealer in life---with all the philosophy of existence tucked away in his little wagon. He has pretty rags and sensible ragsg rags with the taint of the tenements fresh upon them and rags with the faint per- fume of milady's boudoir still lingering about them. They are his treasures and the ragpicker touches each with a certain tenderness as he recites to me their history past and future. From his rags the old man knows life. Here is an old cedar chest strapped to the back of his wagon and he tells me in his quaint way that this is the prize of the day. There is a curious mixture of humor and pathos in his voice as he drags from the chest a bundle of gaudy colored clothes of a century back. There are ball dresses with the tight bodices and puffed sleeves of by-gone days and here on the front of a pea green silk is a brown coffee stain where some long forgotten Befau Brum- mel spilt his'lady's refreshments. There is a faded blue with the hem torn where perhaps some soldier caught his spurs, and down in the bottom of the box, a lady's fan with ,lanice carved in the delicate ivory. There is only one slipper-perhaps the other lies hidden in another box of keepsakes- THE PEABODY 31 some buck's reward snatched as a youthful dancer tripped her way upstairs. They do not look like rags under 20th century' scrutiny and they aren't. They are memories and someone has forfeited those precious remembrances- perhaps-I am not sure-to purchase a few paltry necessities of life to-day. I do know there is a world of philosophy in that box of old-fashioned clothes. I piled the dresses back. almost with a feeling of awe, and the old man held up a paper flour sack bulging with rags. Over the top a disfigured china doll stared with bright blue eyes at the world around us and from a rip in one shoulder, a tiny stream of sawdust poured. Carefully the old man lifted it out and I pulled forth a little patched coat and a pair of well worn shoes. In the pocket of the coat I found two bits of paperg scrawled on the one-two loaves bread and a box of matches. On the other- Anna Mary in a jerky boyish hand. In the same bag was a smaller one filled with bright colored patches and a half finished log cabin quilt. I did not understand and the old man shook his head. What had happened to the maker-had she died? I could almost see the old lady-she must have been old--as she related to the chil- dren about her knee. the history of these patches, and now- Squeezed into one corner of the wagon I found a torn and bent chiffon hat-some shop girl has been happy for a day. The ragpicker smiled,-he knew life. He told me that he liked to imagine how a beautiful girl would look in a hat like that but he always remembered in time the girl who had sold it to him. Life is like rags the old negro said-part of it is good, clean, and worth while like the newspapers he gathers to be made into car wheels. Another part is hideous and worthless, camouflaged by the brilliance of a day--like the chiffon hat in the corner of the wagon. He held up bits of glittering finery-the tawdy contributions of a society butterfly and he spoke briefly. They bring me nothing, he said. Life is full of useless things. You laugh at the ragpicker-my neighbors do. They think of him only as the man who will buv up their worthless rags--but th-at he is a philoso- pher--ncver! I laugh because the old man has taught me the philosophy of rags. He knows that for every bit of rags which he gathers there is a history -a philosophy. He knows that there is a sermon in the dirty little patched shirt he found in the gutter in the slumsg he knows that there is something in the clothes we cast off which tells character as plainly as the clothes we wear. But the old man folds his bag neatly and prepares to go. He looks at his well filled wagon and his eyes fill with tears as he turns to me. The day has paid me well, he says. VVe shall have a Merry Christmas, after all. He climbs to his place on the seat and his eyes rest for a second on the chif- fon hat. Perhaps he wonders if the shop girl will- have a Merry Christmas too. The white horse rouses up and with an effort the creaking old wagon moves forward. A sturdy youngster hurls a rotten apple at the retreating figure-he is just a ragman. From afar the music of his appeal drifts back to me-RagslRa-gs. 32 THE PEABODY .Avi HN! f -' '-L V - - w-B- CAROL SAVAGE, Editor Room 214 During the holidays a large number of alumni came back to visit Peabody. Among those who came are the fol- lowing :- Robert Quinn, ex '15, visited us on December 23. Enlisting in February, 1917, he attended the aviation school at Cornell. He received an honorable dismissal and immediately enlisted in the Marine Corps where he is now serving as an instructor, with the rank of Corporal. He is now at Paris ls- land, but expects soon to be ordered to ship duty. ' John Filbert, '18, who was back De- cember 23, is with the Marines at San Domingo. Lieutenant Gilbert XYolfenden, '14, llenry Flaherty, '16, Moor Klein, '15. who are now students at Pitt, and Francis Reamer '16, former editor of The Peabody, visited school on De- cember 18. Howard L. Snively, ex '17, who has been stationed at Camp jackson, South Carolina, visited Peabody December 23. He expects to go to Siberia with the 59th Division. - PHYLLIS HARMAN, Editor Room 109 Eleanor VVhite, '18, who is now a student at Pitt, and Ruth Wilsoii, '18, from Oberlin were back on Decem- ber 23. Williain MacAlpine, '18, who has been in the S. A. T. C. at Tech, and Luther Mendenhall, '15, who has re- cently been released from Naval Offi- cers' Training School, were at Pea- body recently. Louis Vtfeibel, ex '17, who enlisted in January, 1917, was here December 23. He attended the Petty Olficers School at Newport and graduated as a Quartermaster. He was later trans- ferred to the Naval Operating Base at Hampton Roads, after which he went abraod the U. S. S. Alabama to assume his duties as a petty officer. Since then he has been engaged in convoy duty with the Atlantic fleet, with Gibraltar as a base. James Light, '14, former edi- tor of The Peabody, and at present with the New York Sun, and his wife Sue jenkins Light, also of the class of 1914, visited uson January 8. Cedric Braun, ex '17, former Pho- tographer for The Peabody, and Leo THE PEABODY 337 McShane, president of the mid-year 1917 class, were back on the 7th of January. The following letter has been re- ceived from one of the Peabody alumni: I was just lying down on my bunk, couldn't sleep, and had nothing to do, so came to the conclusion that a letter from a former pupil might interest you. I have learned a thousand and on things since I left Peabody and entered the school of experience. You did not even know. I suppose, that I had joined the Navy. That incident oc- curred April 12, 1918. I spent four and a half months in a training camp and was sent to Philadelphia Navy Yard. After be- ing there for two weeks I asked for foreign service. My request was immediately granted, and I came over to France. I was stationed at a Naval Air Station at Brest, France, for a short time and was then shanghied to Cardiff. South Wales, at which port I boarded this ship. During the three months I have endured over here I have seen quite a little of Eu- rope. We have had several encounters with U-boats: hut luckily for us, we escaped be- ing hit. We even had ships go down just astem of us and couldn't stop to otfer assist- ance for fear we would be hit also. I've had enough excitement in this short time to last me a lifetime. Last night it blew up rough, and we nearly ran into some trawl- -ers that were sweeping a big mine Field, and finally had to drop anchor. When morn- ing dawned we discovered that we lay only two hundred yards from a rocky coast. All around us were masts of sunken ships stick- ing up. If the British hadn't taken over all the U-boats, we, too, would have been a sunken wreck this morning. We are now lying in the harbor of Havre, France, waiting for a pilot to take us utr the Seine river to our destination, Rouen. I am a Quartermaster now. I was rated August 1. It is altogether different work from that of a Quartermaster in the Army. In the Navy, he sends and receives all sig- nals, steers the ship, takes care of all navi- gational instruments, and stands watch on the bridgeg also numerous other tasks. Sincerely yours, Cloyd J. Wert, '17. which is -iioli. SERVICE NEWS Hyman -G. Feldstein, '18, was sta- tioned at Washington, D. C., with the Chemical Division of the Army.

Thus, there was no valedictory ad- dress at the commencement. Instead of following the usual cus- tom of holding a fGfirl's Luncheon and a Boy's Banquet, the M-id-Year class of 1919 held a Banquet for both sexes of the class on January 27. There was a humorous sketch given by Seward Armstrong and Albert Schaeffer and Marjorie Davis. Many short speeches were made by members of the class. A delightful evening' was spent.

Among the boys who have returned to Peabody after receiving their honor- able discharge from the Army are: Jerry Glass William McShane james Hall Ralph Schamburg Ronald Houck The sewing classes have received eight blue stars from the Red Cross headquarters. These stars were given because of the high grade of work done by the Peabody girls. ' The citizenship classes furnished Christmas dinners to two poor families, who are in this condition due to the fact that their main supports were killed on Flanders Fields. The students furnished enough food to last each family a week. The local Red Cross chapter delivered the baskets. ' Many of our boys helped in the Post Office during the Christmas rush. The boys were permitted to be absent from school to do this work. The Girls in Miss B0wman's and Miss Topp's gymnasium classes held a Christmas party during their regular gym periods on Thursday and Friday before Christmas. The first half of the period uwas devoted to 'Fishing for Gifts and dancing. The last half to games and refreshments. Each' girl brought a gift not cost-ing over ten cents. 4 - - - Many of the Peabody girls helped canvass for the Armenian Relief Com- mittee. These girls rendered valuable service on Saturday, January 18. A Jazz Band has been formed by the boys of Peabody. T-his band is fully equipped andy has furnished many delightful programs.

This meritable team needs only to demonstrate its ability once more in order to become the permanent owner of the Ohio Wes- leyan Cup. The question in debate was: Resolved: That the United States Government Should Gwn and Operate the Coal Mines of the Coun- try. Those starring at Peabody were: Graham Netting, our first freshman to make the Varsity team, Fannie Aaron, one of the highest honor students in the class of 1919, and Albert Kabet, presi- dent of the Mid-year class '19, The debaters from Fifth were: J. H. Taxey, Zerful Pitter and Max Goldberg. Our stars at Ffth were: Saul Makrauer, one of the highest honor students of the Mid-year class '19g Chalmers Siviter, member of the 12-B class, and Margar- et Brooks, a honor student in the Mid- year class 'l9. Those on the Fifth debating team were: Samuel Gold- stock, George Taylor and Lewis Smith. The decision of the judges at Peabody was unanimous for Peabody, while at Fifth stood 2 to l in favor of Pea- body. A remarkably large crowd at- tended both at Peabody and at Fifth. Many parents were present at Peabody and Mr. Rynearson stated that the crowd at Fifth was larger than they ever had at any debate. This all shows that the public appreciates a good de- bating team as Peabody has. A meeting was held in Study Hall on December 21 to reorganize the Peabody Board of Trade. At this meeting the nominations for officers took place followed by an election on january 3. The following officers were elected: President, Fred Yetter, Vice Presi- dent, joseph Marmarosag Secretary, Esther Roeserg Assistant Secretary, Elsie Pereny: Treasurer, James Schlif- ferg Senior Representative, Mildred Stokerg Junior Representative, Esther Zippg Sophomore Representative, Geo. Crooksg Freshman Representative, Earl Friesel. This organization was formed for the benefit of the commercial students. Its purpose is to familiarize the stu- 'A THE PEABODY 39 dents with the business world. To ac- complish this purpose prominent men and women are requested to make ad- dresses at the meetings. In the past these addresses have given students much valuable information. lf you, by some reason or other, have not heard of the Peabody Board of Trade and are interested, consult Mr. Skeeles, Room 216 or the presi- dent. We want members, especially the commescial students, although all high school students are welcome to join. The Peabody Friendship Club wish- es to make this year a big success in their club work. On Friday january 24 the club was at home to all girls who are interested and are considering joining.. Girls who have not joined this club will find this a useful as well as pleasant passtime. Many girls joined last Friday. Beginning in February the Club ex- pects to continue its monthly suppers which will be held at the Hospitality House on Fifth Avenue. Miss Thoburn and Miss Knox, whf in the past have been so generous in their advice to and co-operation with the club, are again with us this year and it is a pleasure to announce that Miss XVard has also joined us as ai. advisor of the club. The members of the Peabody club have enjoyed several fine addresses at recent meetings. Mr. Howard XVilson, a Y. M. C. A. man, gave a very inter- esting and inspiring talk on his ex- periences: Mr. C. R. jackson, Y. M. C. A. Secretary in France for ten months told many of his experiences while on the battle field and what the Y. M. C. A. did during the war. A pool tournament was held on january 16 and a box of candy will be given to the winner. The contests will be played at each meeting before the supper and all fellows who wish to enter should come to the meetings early . - The Tech Club hopes to resume its meetings at the beginning of the sec- ond semester. Wireless instructions will also be given next semester. ' 3 . I A , PERSONALS U The faculty and students extend their hopes for a speedy recovery,to.'

FOND MEMORIES Fred Ritts, who starred on our last year's basketball team and captained our highly praised track team. has gained the unusual honor at Penn State College of making the varsity basketball team in his freshman year. Information from State College an- nounces that Fred has put up a great fight for a berth on the team, and suc- ceeded in beating out several good 1nen. Another of our basketball stars who is at State and out for the basketball team is XYilliam Lynn, who captained the Peabody aggregation last year. Dutch is out for hard sledding if he is to make the varsity team this year, for State is plentifully supplied with veterans for his favorite position at guard. Dutch is there with the punch, however, and it will be surprising if he does not make good before he is th rough. -1.0-?. REVENGE IS SWEET Tuesday, january 7, saw one of the hardest fought contests ever staged on the Fhipp's gymnasium fioor, when Peabody opened her basketball season by singing a distasteful melody to Alle- 42 THE PEABODY gheny High, the name of this song be- ing 33-32. The game was hard fought throughout and at no time did that fight, which wins us victory, fail to be on hand. Both teams fouled con- stantly, due only, however, to the hard playing exhibited on both sides. At the end of the first quarter the score was 8-8, but in the second quar- ter, Peabody added her bit to the score, which tallied 20-12 as the first half ended in her favor. In the third and last periods, Alle- gheny showed a wonderful comeback and consequently Peabody's lead les- soned, until the 30-28 mark .was reached, with Peabody still showing her colors. XVith but a minute or so left to play, McRae, of Allegheny dropped two pretty shots in while Shaeffer, of Peabody shot a foul, bringing the score to 32-31 in Alle- gheny's favor. As the second hand of the clock came down the home stretch, Baur, a Peabody substitute, gently dropped one in from beside the basket, and thus the score stood, 33-32, with Peabody a winner. Shaeffer, at forward fought every minute of play and succeeded in get- ting 25 of Peabody's points. Bornman at guard also played a fine game. breaking up most of Allegheny's long anticipated rushes and forcing them to rely on long shots, while XVhite, a newly discovered guard, did his bit by caging three very pretty goals for Pea- body. Capt. McRae and Marquard of Alle- gheny kept their team in the game, due only to hard work on their part. Mac- Rae caged nine field goals. VVith such a man on its team, Allegheny should look upon its captain as an all-school candidate. The lineup:- PEABODY-33. ALLEGHENY-32 Lange Ceaptb ............ F ..... - l..........

SUCH IS LIFE When Peabody traveled to the South Side Market House on january 10, she knew that a hard job was before- herg that job was to defeat South High. Reputation counted little for South. however, when our boys went to work. Peabody started out well and kept her fighting spirit up through- out the game. At the end of the first half the score was 19-17, with 'South in the lead. VVhen the last quarter be- gan. South started to use rough tac- tics because she knew that the game was lost, unless she did something' rash, and she did it. However, due credit must be given both S-haeffer and Bornman, who play- ed the best game for Peabody, while- McDonnel and Lehner scored well for South. The lineup :- PEABODY-27. SOUTH--41.

Far be it from such. From two to three times a week each class team may be seen in the gym, and you may be sure that they are working hard, for things worth while are the things we have to work for. Such a predicament is placed before our class players. Few people real-ize the value of a numeral earned at Peabody until they them- selves have earned one and then things are altogether different. Numerals are things worth working for, but only those who are ambitious want them. A slacker never wears a numeral. And so we will find that about thirty-five boys are working for the chance to prove that they are not slackers. Personal benefit, however, is not the only thing derived from this class spir- it, but our varsity material picked en- tirely from our class teams. The following men have been picked to represent the different classes in basketball this year :- Freshmen Ladley fcaptl Murdock llaife Havs Straub Ritts McTaggart Smiley Sophomores Dawson fcaptl Edmonds Thomas Nobbs 'Carlson Truesdale Gibson Soloman Bostwick Roberts ,Iuniors Goldinger Ccantl Hull Sohval Vvolk. M. A Harman McClure, P. Seniors Wolk, C, Silverman. M. King Silverman, S. Conley Magafifin Schwab Yetter McAteer Tl-0 T ATHLETI'CS MEETING i On Thursday, January 9, a meeting was held in the Study Hall at which athletics took the leading role. Miss THE PEABODY 45 Margaret Lehman opened the meet- ing with a song. Miss W'ilder, of Pitt. gave a talk to the girls and spoke of the after war advantages. Mr. Ralph Davis, of the Pittsburgh Press, was next on the program, and gave quite an interesting talk on athletics in general. He concluded his speech by presenting a beautiful track trophy to the school, in honor of the good work done by our track team at the Press meet, given recently. Mr. Hughes, athletics treasurer, accepted the trophy on behalf of the school and told how athletics are moving along at Peabody. Jimmie McTaggart, next year's football captain, told, in his meek and modest way, how good Pea- body's chances for football are for 1919. The meeting was closed with Pea- body cheers and songs, but we regret to say that the school did not ring with echoes as it should. NVhy is it? The one big reason is easily under- stood when you learn that only 200 of the 1500 pupils in Peabody were pres- ent. Is it the fault of the football players that such a thing as this should go on? Surely they did their part in working every day, rain or shine, bruises or smiles, for the honor of the school, and that is all that could be expected of them. But-more is ex- pected of the students, who should be backing the team up, than a vacant chair on such an occasion as this. lt is a disgrace to have a body of stud- ents with so small a conception of school spirit as is exhibited in such a wonderful institution as Peabody. The person who has a petty excuse to offer for his absence should be ashamed. not of himself alone, but of the disgrace he is bringing upon his school, by lower- ing the high standard of spirit and honor of a 'place where the word slacker should not be heard of. .L0.4. DEFEAT QContinuedj January 14, brought the second dis- appointment to Peabody's many fol- lowers when Schenley walked over us to the tune to 36-32. Since such results were very unexpected by most people and the defeat affected us as bitter medicine does a 'bad boy, our thoughts and expressions had better go unsaid, lest a few little explosions are apt to occur. Schenley started out by demonstrat- ing what may be considered real team work, and credit surely must be given them for their pretty passing. They tried for many basket shots and showed plainly that this was their weak-point. One exception was found, however, when Kahn, the little wirey forward, succeeded in caging six pretty baskets. Thoma should take second honors for his team, 'bn account of the nice floor work and foul shooting exhibited by him. Shaeffer, Bornman, and Lange showed their war-paint and deserve much credit for their work. It jmight be added, that in the third quarter, Shaeffer exhibited a little too mush of his war-like spirits, and consequently was put out of the game, at the re- quest of the referee. During the game, Shaeffer made two baskets, for which the referee gave him no credit. At a recent meeting of the officials, it was decided upon that the baskets should have counted, thereby making the final score 32-36, instead of 28-36, as originally recorded. Lest we forget, we must state that in the preliminary game, the Freshies '46 THE P13ABoDY defeated the Sophs by the score of 11-8. This was the first class game of the Season, and honor should be be- stowed u-pon the Freshies, while our greatest sympathy is extended to the unlucky Sophs. Peabody-32. Schenley-36.

A game with the Fifth Avenue quintet, on January 17, at the Y. M. H. A. floor, brought another defeat to Peabody's record. A large crowd wit- nessed the game and much interest was shown by all present. After the first quarter, Fifth had things much her own way. Fifth's playing on her home floor and before a friendly crowd, may have helped to pile up the comfortable lead. The guarding exhibited by Fifth, was un- doubtedly the best seen this year in any high school, game, as may be shown by Peabody being limited to but three field goals. Lichtenstein, who bore the brunt of the guard duty, followed the ball closely and gave our forwards few chances to make goals. The absence of Shaeffer from our lineup was a great detriment and was Slwwn by the Peabody team work, which ran, anything but smoothly. Shaeffer's consistent foul shooting was also missed in the game, for, when all-scholastic material is sitting on the side-lines, instead of being in the game, havoc is surely played with a team which is trying hard to win. Due credit must be given White, who, with Beecher and Fairgrieve, both new men in the lineup, helped keep Peabody in the running, while Levinson, Sacklowsky, and Litchen- stein showed up best for Fifth Avenue.

If it con- tinues the championship is within reach. From the very beginning Peabody played splendidly. In the first half Schenley seemed to be helpless be- cause they could not break up the teamwork of Peabody. The score con- tinued to pile up in favor of the Red and Gray and at the end of the sec- ond quarter the score was 12-0. Only during the second and third quarters did Schenley score .

V, W THEPEABODY 49 MARGIE DAVIS, Editor Rocm 104 DURNFOOLSKY l Russia was in a state of chaos, blood flowed like Vodka, the red flag and the Double Cross were to he seen on all sides, peasants were chased from one town to another and died horrible deaths trying to pronounce the names of their new postolfices. In short, the country was getting it in the neck. But through all this suffering one person shown like tan shoes at a fun- eral. It was I-Iulda Van Schuylight, the daughter of the wealthy magnate. However, since she was in Russia, it was only a question of time until her carcass would make good eating for the Siberian Exile Hounds. But before we come to the tragedy, let us talk of lighter things such as gas and love, and I-Iulda's head. Al- though raised in the Limberger atmos- phere of her father's cheese mill, she was still a sweet and simple child. In fact. her tutor was heard to remark that he never taught a simpler girl. One night, while in a Paris cafe, she got a whiff of genuine Vodka and im- mediately did a Sheridairtxventy- miles-away for the Continental lix- press bound for Russia by the way of London, New York, Oshkosh, and the Suez Canal. On the train she met Ivan Twisthistongueolif. a Russian Couch Cootie, and fell iu love with him. He also fell for her when the train stopped suddenly. Later they were married and Hulda's beauty be- came the talk of the continent. CNOW for the tragedyj. One day the maid entered the room and played a short selection on the basoon. Finel exclaimed Hulda, that's the best jazz I've heard since I left Broadway! That, said Ivan solemnly, is not a dance. It is the name of the Chief of Police. It means that we are to be killed. I am prepared, she said dramatic- ally as she stationed herself behind the door. As the Chief strode in she pressed a button and the floor dropped from under him. He fell violently into a large tub of Russian Elixir of '50 THE FEABFODY life and as he went down for the third time they heard' him murmur, Oh, Death, where is thy sting? Escape seemed impossible until Ivan hit upon the happy idea of dis- guising themselves as Vodka barrels. Since the Reds have the greatest re- spect for this kind of dead soldiers, they easily made their way to China where they took up Opium smoking and lived happily ever after.

And she was big and Irish too. She weighed two-hundred pound. There was no room for the little folks VVhenever she breezed around.

Oh, she's petite and very neat With soft brown hair, and eyes That glisten like the kitchen stove, And she isn't half your size. Yes, she is neat and quite petite: She don't look like a cow. She's taught me how to 'parlez-voo', And I'm some Frenchman now. What's this ye say? And do ye mean Ye've tied the can to me? He looked her in the face and said, Uh-huh-that is-Oui, Oui. ,C -M. M.

Siviter. .lol THE CHASE 'Twas not with a quarrel they parted' Rut on seeing him she dartedg First he saw her, anger gripped him, As she passed by, lightly skipped him, And with trembling feet she hurried, Forever fearing, terribly worried: Fast Tom followed, gaining on her, She knew sure she was a gonnerg Presently he caught up to her- Not to love and not to woo her- But instead, he grabbed her roughly Handled her quite mean and toughly, Choked her, strangled her, and hit her, Held her by the neck and bit her, The scoundrel left his dying prey, And, hardly knowing what to say, Poor mousie, if you will allow, He said, I've but to say me-cow! Arthur Schamberg. 1 v .-Oi BOOTBLACKS VVhy a man who polishes one's shoes is called .a bootblack is a mystery to me. In the first place, no one wears boots nowadays, he wears shoes. Then too, not everyone wears black shoes. Some wear gray, some tan, some choc- olate, some red, some white, and there are many other colors of shoes worn, especially by girls. The bootblack, as I consider him, belongs to the same class as the taxi- driver, Pullman-porter, and pirate. When you pass the business house of THE PEABODY .51 one of these Knights of the Flannel Duster. you are greeted by a shout similar to Shinemup! or Shinesir? You immediately look at your shoes ffor you know from experience what his mixture of American-Indian and South African meansl and find that they surely need a shine, after they have been tramped upon by any num- ber of people who couldn't find their -own feet, and therefore used yours to walk on. You agree, therefore, to suf- fer being parted from ten cents of your limited cash resources, and any amount of your valuable time. You enter his establishment and mount to the operating chair. After trying to put your feet upon the stands reserved for them, you finally get set- tled comfortably. Then the aforementioned. arranges his implements of warfare, and begins the engagement. First. he endeavors to remove from the leathers the dust that has accumulated there since the last time a cloth was upon them. Then he freely pours over them a quantity of liquid resembling muddy water. Then he attempts to undo what he has just done, by drying this fluid with a minature electric fan. His next method of attack is by means of the paste. fOne brand of this substance has been called Two in One. prob- ably because it takes twice the amount of work to produce a satisfactory glow as with other brands.j If the artist you have employed is an expert, the shoes will appear to shine, but this is merely an optical il- lusion, and you will be quickly unde- ceived upon leaving the building. If, however. he is a novice, the shine will remain upon your shoes for some time at least. After the shoe-shiner has finished, you step down from your throne, and permit him to make a pretense at brushing your coat and trousers. Then, by means of strategy, you quickly vamoose, for you know that if he reaches the only door to the shop before you do, you must tip him. The cheapest way of tipping is by dexterously getting one of your feet between the two feet of the bootblack and tripping him suddenly. The suc- cess of this method is guaranteed by the author. After tipping operator in this manner, all that remains fs to make your getaway, which you do before he has time to rise. Herbert W. Osgood. .ii-.-0.1--. GOOD-BYE, OLD PAL Goodbye, old pal.
