HILE the State Normal School at Fredonia has had its vicissitudes, both in organization and in , the loss of a highly honored principal and two teachers, whose places can never be filled in the 1 affections ofthe Normal graduates who were under them, there has been a steady growth of ko, the school and an increase in its professional influence. The school was opened in the autumn of 1867 in the old Academy building, and by natural inheritance received the library and physical apparatus and the good will of the alumni and alumnae, and of the large and influential constituency of the old Academy. The real life of the Normal School, however, did not begin till the autumn of 1869, for at that time Dr. Armstrong came from Oswego and brought an entirely new faculty with one exception, and made a com plete reorganization. For some years there was no academic course for graduation, although some good men were fitted for college, including Dr. Richard T. Ely of Wisconsin, and Dr. George Ely of Washingtoii, both of whose names have since been added to the list of alumni. In 1873 the first academic class was graduated, and there was no further effort to extend the scope of work during the administration ot Dr. Armstrong, which was continued till his lamented death in the summer of 1878. On Dr. Armstrong's death, which was but shortly before the beginning of a new term, Dr. Hoose, prin- cipal of Cortland Normal School, came and opened the school and remained until the present principal was secured, about November ist. , Since then there has been added, one after another, the following departments of work. Miss Bemus opened the first kindergarten in the state outside of New York city. Miss Markham, now wife of Lieutenant Bailey of the navy, opened a department of instrumental music which has never ceased to be a delight to the school and the community. Mrs. Ely added a department of painting, in which work there have been developed many cases of marked success. Courses for graduation in vocal music and in elo- cution have been added by the teachers of vocal music and of reading in the school. Gymnastics has been added by Miss Fuller, who has been doing a most important work for the physical well-being of the students, and Dr. Dods, a physician of the village, is in charge of the heavier athletic sports of the young men. The dormitories were fitted up for a young ladies' club about nineteen years ago, and last year a new dining hall was added in the new gymnasium for both the ladies' and gentlemen's club, gentlemen taking rooms in the village. The courses of instructions are the same as in all the other Normal schools of the state. 3 , ,,m-wm--452' .N-wf- ' . V?-,.. .

Inscribed upon their banner will be the device, From school life into life school. It remains to the historian of the future to chronicle the rank of each, Whether A+, A, B, C, or alas! C-. For the present may be written only what has been. In one respect, the organization of this class was like the building of King Solomon's temple-there Was none of the customary strife and din. Oihcers were chosen as by clock work, but sad to relate, th-e in- spired poet, Mr. Runkel, left school and the nine muses went with him! The fragrant flower of unseliishness blossomed in every heart. No one would rob his neighbor of the honor of being class poet. Nearly every member was duly elected to the oficice and as duly resigned. Driven to desperation, the class tried to make a poet out of a Taylor. But alas! no matter how good the material, poets are born not made. Then when vis- ions of class night with no poet were thronging thick and fast, lo! the good Shepard of the flock, magnani- mously laid aside her robes of office as historian and assumed Apollo's golden lyre. May Latona's son shower eternal blessings on her head and the nine muses so inspire her that of her it may be Written as of Orpheus of old, Wherever she sat down and sung She left a small plantation. The class of rgoo has never had a quarrel, but it contains some strong characters and it, did take two hours and a half to select a class pin. Pins of all sorts were considered, from a dainty little wreath to a glittering breastplate emblazoned with the name of the school, year, month and day, motto, class colors, and the president's picture, which she generously offered to donate. Finally, when the sun had sunk to rest and the room was illuminated only by a ruddy Bfrjunson flame, an order was obtained from the surviving member of the committee and the agent, who had missed his train, told his thoughts to the night alone. The class iiovver selected was the White daisy, emblematic, in its great tenacity of life. of the persever- ance that has brought the members unscathtd through permutations and combinations, location of the ecliptic and kindred ills more Urniserabile visu than ever the pins Aeneas endured. l 2 . The class colors chosen were the colors of the daisy-green, yellow and white. But let not any one in- fer that any member of this class has ever turned green with envy, except of those fortunate beings who have peacefully slept during rhetoricals, yellow with age, except temporarily in a valorous effort to remember the rules for pronouncing Latin proper names, or white with fear, unless while sentence hung suspended over the purloiners of state gas in the chemical laboratory. Speaking of that affair of the gas, it may be well to say that fudge isn't the only kind of confection that the 'oo girls have dispensed. The fame of the class bard, one of the experts in the concoction of fudge-and other sweets, has gone all the way from Center street to Perry and back again. There are two ways of treating almost any kind of work-to talk about it and to do it. Take cooking, for instance. You can write volumes on it in a cool shady nook under the branches of a wide spreading maple, but just try doing it in a close kitchen with the mercury sunning itself in the nineties! The class of rgoo has two members who have studied cooking. Mr. Leworthy has written an inspiring oration upon it, Mr. Edmunds has tried it. The former has not yet made public the results of his investigations, but the lat- ter, after burning all his fingers and thumbs, has solemnly avowed his purpose never to enter a kitchen again. MV Vocation, he says, whatever else it may be, is not frying pancakes. Before closing this brief retrospect in which of necessity many interesting facts have been unwritten, one class honor must be noted. That is the system of self government used in the study room, whereby the youths and maidens best calculated to set a shining example before their fellow students, have been placed in authority. Like the Athenians, the class has yielded up its youth by sevens, but to how different a fate! Not to become the prey of a dreadful monster, but to be hailed as the preservers of the peace, the eagle eyed detectors of missile throwers, and the avengers of all seditious acts. They have been faithful over many, may they be made rulers over more. Yesterday, for the class of I900qiS gone forever. Today, tomorrow is their own. It lies with them alone to make it even more worthy than the past has been of the Hin de siecle class of their Alma Mater. PEARLE MCMILLEN Pack. 13, PROPHECY-Class of 1900. As the twilight shadows deepened o'er the earth at close of day, Seated at my window, dreaming, as my thoughts roamed far away, Thinking of my many school friends in the Graduating class, ' And this question to my mind came-1' What will ten years bring to pass? Then a stupor overcame me and l quickly closed my eyes, And l dreamed l saw an angel who looked old and good and wiseg ln his hand a scroll he carried. lt was bulky, old and worn. Twas the Roll of Fatehe told me, from which the future could be known. All night long he sat near by me, reading Destiny's decree- And I heard the names of many which were names well known to me. So the future of those people l can now distinctly state As 'twas read to me so plainly from the Angel's Roll of Fate. l First the name of Miss Rakowska was the one l chanced to hear- She'll be known throughout the countries of the earth, both far and near. l-ler lectures on Theosophy and Science will hold sway Long after many centuries have come and passed away. Then the name of Estelle Shepard very much appealed to me- The president of Vassar she is destined soon to be. As an author of a volume of French plays she will be classed, And she'll conquer that old bug-bear, idiotic ne, at last. 14 Then the Angel turned the page and showed a picture inscribed there, And I saw Louie Edmunds, seated in a great arm chair, With a dictionary opened wide before him-and I thought He is writing college essays. Great, long words he's seeking out. Next, the names of jenks and Hooker struck my ear with joyful sound, For Miss Jenks will keep on singing- And the green grass grew all And Adele's chief occupations, as the time so quickly flies, Will be to rock the cradle, sing coon songs and lulabies. ' round The Angel stopped and wiped his eyes- The next, he said, is sad. A boy, named John, a brilliant youth, a fearless, dauntless lad, Will start on his bicycle to visit at the sun And ne'er return to tell how fast he made his century run. In the list of girls who'll marry in the time not far away I recognized the following: Babcock, Keeler, Cummings, Day. The Allen girls will go abroad, this information leave behind- We seek an English fortune, then, a Duke apiece we'll find. I heard the name of Penhollow, of Gibbs and I-Iimeline, As men whose' skill in legal lore would stand the test of time. And a man whose name is Taylor will receive the world's esteem For his skill at I-Iarvard College, managing a baseball team. The Angel stopped and closed his book. The morning light had come. The visitor then vanished. This poetic mood came on. I quickly totok my pencil, wrote it down, as you may see, This glimpse into the Future, as 'twas thus revealed to me. -C. M.

The Normal School is situated in the beautiful village of Fredonia, surrounded by the pleasant sub- urbs of Laona, Dunkirk and Lapland. ' A few of the many advantages of the town may be mentioned. I Fredonia has two electric light plants and one thousand burdock plants. Two thousand acres of vineyard Qshotgun quarantine only partially covers the area.j Two cemeteries. Two nndertakers. A large candy shop and two pop-corn carts. 1 Four soda water fountains. ' Seven miles of convenient side streets without electric lights. Seven churches, in all of which especial pains are taken to make things pleasant for the students. Tliechurch buildings are located with particular reference to the students' convenience. By actual meas- urement, it is only forty rods from the Normal building to the Episcopal church, but about four miles from the church door back to the Normal building. - Q Students are requested not toregister themselves as attending more than four fetj churches. Con- fusionqafmong the visiting committees might result from neglect of this rule.. At sunday evening service, the ushers make a point of locating all the attractive girls, and cheerfully furnish information as to their whereabouts to those devout young men who always arrive just in time for theibenediction. T ' Students arriving on any of the trunk lines passing through the neighboring suburb of Dunkirk, may reach Fredonia by either of the following -routes, the Boston Electric railway, or the Jamestown horse car line. No one need feel any concern as to his destination, for all roads lead to Fredonia. Those arriving in winter will be obliged to take the Black Maria, or the Prairie Schooner, as the snow is some- 17 times six inches deep in this locality and the car tracks may be blocked. They should provide themselves with a complete outfit for Arctic exploration, including a fur coat, a sleeping bag, an alcohol stove, and a- supply of canned provisions, in case they should be obliged to pass the night between Dunkirk and Fredonia. Excellent baggage facilities are provided, as the cars carry two trunks at a time and all baggage will be promptly delivered with-in one week after its arrivalat Dunkirk. On reaching. Fredonia, trunks will be left at the Columbia hotel, the postottice, the Normal building, or somewhere else. An elegant souvenir check will be given to all paying for transportation of baggage. A small boy with a cart may be found by diligent search around the neighborhood, who may be in- duced t-o take students' trunks to their boarding placesf ' , The Normal building is an elegant structure with all the latest improvements. It is heated with a first-class double-action, self-regulating systennwarranted' 'to keep the rooms above thirtydegrees Fahr. in the coldest weather. The building is kept in order by an eflicient force of assistant janitors who sweep thoroughly once a month. To simplify matters, and save the temper of the janitors and the faculty, all theslocks in the build- ing are made alike and can be opened with one key or a button-hook. Patent on thisinvention has been applied for by the janitor. The building is perfectly safe in case of tire as it has four stairways, two iire-escapes and anumber of fire extinguishers, Persons wishing to use the fire-escapes must apply to the legislature a month in ad- vance of the outbreak of the fire. A handsome new building containing a gymnasium and dining hall has recently been erected, It is connected with the main building by a covered passage, which may be entered by the cellar or the laun- dry, just as students prefer. A pocket guide book to the building is in preparation. A class will be formed in the science department at an early date, for those who wish to become fa- miliar with the working of the fire extinguishers, electric bells, thermost-ats, and other mechanical appli- gnces ground the building. Special courses on the heating and Ventilating systems may be arranged if esiret . The building is lighted by electricity, which is turned on at 6 p. m. Members of the faculty who un- dertake to turn it on prior to that time will find that they cannot make light of it, but the pupils can. RULES AND cAUT1oNs. A l Agiyone using disrespectful language over the telephone or speaking-tube will be immediately dis- connec ed. q A 18 .4, Any young man who calls up a young lady student on the telephone or speaking-tube more than four times in the same day or evening will be charged five cents for messenger service. - 1 Pupils will not be allowed to call ice after the teachers' wheels. Prof. J's knapsack and Miss Sis Boston bag are protected by the general copyright and must not be imitated. Ladies of the Normal Boarding Club will be allowed the use of the reception room when the assist- ant janitors do not want it. The State will not be responsible for injuries sustained by those falling over affectionate couples on the back stairway. P Since a serpentine ladder and climbing poles have lately been placed in the gymnasium, the use of the fire-escape and roof coruice as a part of the gymnasium apparatus is to be discontinued. Members of the Ladies' Boarding Club should provide themselves with ai fudge-pan, a mouse-trap, a cracker-box for a divan, at least seventeen cushions for the same, a paper of tacks and a supply of the- atrical posters. DEPARTMENT OF PEDAGOGY. . ' All students entering the class in Science of Education will provide themselves with a strong, dur- able, a priori concept of an orange, and an exhaustible supply of latent mental energy. For the beneiit of future students, we give here the General Law of Education. When lazy mental energy is stimulated to activity by the voice of Dr. Palmer calling on it to recite, and said lazy mental energy has not the slightest idea what to recite, let the lazy mentalenergy mention an orange, or the a priori concept of a circle, and said lazy mental energy and the voice of Dr. Palmer will be put in equilibrium. ART DEPARTMENT. All students will be expected to pose for l the sketch class once a year, unless excused by a medical certificate. Any person convicted of eating potatoes, onions or squashes arranged as studies for the drawing class will be prosecuted to the full extent of the lavv. Members of the faculty who do not Wish to be cari- catured by our artist will please present bids for exemption before the beginning of each month, or else forever after hold their peace. T Members of literary societies Wishing to be supplied with artistic theatrical scenery may apply to the Art Department, and leave the address of their undertaker.

'LI am at parcel of vain strivings tied By a chance bond together. Thus Thoreau begins that charming poem, H Sic Vitaf' Methinks the lines might aptly be applied to at class of students such as we, whose homes are scattered over every section of New York, and are even found in northern Pennsylvania g whose motives, qualities and dispositions are vastly different, but whose interests and efforts are centered in one aim which forms at common tie that unites us. The history of this class may well begin in 1897. Our numbers were small at that time, and many of the members then on board tl16HN01'll1U1lH were seen slowly working their passage to Preparatory. But some small wisdom had, even then, sprung up to grace their intellects, for one of the tourists actually succeeded in passing Advanced Rhetoric last fall after three previous attempts. The crew, equipped with a Cooper, and conducted by a. firm and stately Skiff, seemed prepared for any emergency. The Dean also accompanied them and gave much needed advice concerning spiritual affairs. Our voyage-rs arrived at Ancient Languages about three hundred and sixy-five days after the begin- ning ofthe trip. Here they adopted another and more hygienic means of transportation, commonly known as 1-idin' liorsebackf' They found this very pleasant, indeed. When they had thoroughly ex- plored the region, and could no longer find any protit in the beasts, they telegraped back to their success- ors, and loaned them at twice their original cost. When therest of the class arrived on the scene they found them even more useful than Permutations and Combinations. When the party which began its work in 1898 embarked, the prospect was indeed cheerful. For a month or two they labored with more than ordinary zest and then became as dull and restless as their illustrious predecessors. They found Homer interesting and gave some attention to acquiring Skill-infgsj kindergartening. To some, life seemed unbearable. One luckless mortal felt the nearness of the future and the powers that be so forcibly that she brought her Coffin with her. 22 The entire party soon became very proficient in the science and art of bluffing and the rules and reg- ulations of the Postal Department. Higher authority could then, and still can, be consulted on all such su bjects, on a inoinentls noTice Cto pupils, of coursej. The fall of 1899 brought rather inoze recruits that that season ofthe year is wont to do. A Leafej was added to the scene, and with it returned a delightful Hfajunt and Miles of beauty. A tall and stately Forest of a. year's previous growth shaded the way, and became source of much annoyance to some less fortunate su bjects. A But- the Storms came, the seal grew rough, and the voyagers longed To-b-in in their father's house. Days of gloom, however, faded into fairer ones ere SOIHQ-3I'lS days were done, and soon the regiment joined the Advance Guard. Many difficulties attended our final organization. Several members were attending at sociable at the Science Sphere, and forgot to send regrets. The worst. foes, however, were the L.E.ments, which were so badly disposed that our assembly was a brilliant failure. The brilliancy appeared when flames of fire leaped forth from a burning factory and utterly destroyed all the decorum of our convention. Our class colors will probably be Violet. and Brown, a Vera deep Dye of the latter being preferred by the majority. Judging from our past- trials and conquests, we are now prepared to face every danger without flinching, and when June comes we'll tender a warm recept-ion to the Senior class of 1900.

The even tenor of the day g- . was only interrupted by a few trifling incidents, such as the absconding of the treasurer, the F -- simultaneous disappearance of the luncheon pies and several prominent Zetesians, and the precipitation of a venturesome party of explorers over the falls. Though seemingly a most unfortunate accident the last-named event is entered in the annals of class history as a prodigy, showing wherein the gods favor 1901 above '00, '02, and all other classes of the F. N. S. This is how it came to be so regarded. Among the rocks at the foot of the cliff, the rescuing party discovered a cavern from whence issued the sound of rustling leaves and the prophetic strains of a sibyl. Here, then, was presented a rare opportunity for the class to learn what of weal and woe, of honor and distinction, of glory and success, lay before them in the closely veiled future. Ventum erat ad liinen cum virgo, ' Poscere fata Tempus ait l As a sufficient propitiatory offering the class yell rang out and then the long array of 1901 entered the cave, headed by Baldwin and Newberry as being most familiar with those romantic regions. To each favored one, as he entered, the sibyl handed a leaf whereon, in characters unintelligible to any save stu- dents of second year Greek, was inscribed his destiny. It is not known th at the leaders of the line of march received such souvenirs. But, be that as it may, fate has since dealt kindly with the two, one a country parson, the other a widower twice emancipated. The first one favored by the sibyl was a petite young maid, whose scroll was thus inscribed- Thou follower of Ascalaphus, with mortar and pestal let your future life be inseparably connected. Therein lie fame and fortune for you-Take Springerfs Golden Relief. WHAT BEFEL THE CLASS OF 1901. Q, A 26 The dark-eyed, debonnair young man who t-ook the proffered leatlet from the priestess with an air acquired only by a season's experience in a Chautauqua cafe, read this inscription- Be undaunted, O youth, let sines be cosines, let artists only attempt to pass as artists, and you shall yet preside, the land- lord of a wayside inn. The sibyl, being very choice of the remaining leaves,allowed a. group of girls topass without agreet- ing. This oversight on her part may be remedied by refering to the historian, who says t-he principals of Glenmore Academy, Misses Conic and Maxson, are general favorites in both the educational and the social world. Miss Montague has achieved fa-me as being the first to introduce discipline into the Froebel sys- tem. J. R. Wheeler is the author of several standard works on Botany which would be more popular if they were couched in language more familiar to the common ear. It is said that the prophetess extended a leaf to the class president and then suddenly withdrew it, as if wishing to leave him in ignorance of his future fate. lt- was well, for he would hardly have survived the shock of learning that he was to be director of the Philalethean Saengerbund. A high-browed youth with poetic cast of countenance received this bit of sibylline advice- Every horse is not a- Pegasus. Bear this in mind and two dozen of your first edition may be sold. The sibyl was about to hand forth a prophecy to a fair-haired, blue-eyed young Diana, when .sud- denly a darkness obscured the sun, silence reigned within the cave, the sibyl vanished. Unavailing search for her was made by those members of the party who stillremained uneulightened as to their future. The since famous author, known by the pen name of Puritan Priscilla, Woodcock, editor of the New York En- terprise, Advertiser and Leader, and Ruttenbur, now starring with DeWolfe Hopper, were most disconso- late at this sight. The disappearance of the sihyl could only be accounted for by the fact that it was seven o'clock and she had not yet adopted the half-hour-later regulation. The return to Fredonia was made with most of the party in a contemplative frame of mind, pondering upon the revelations they had heard. In conclusion it might be well to say that the prophecies have not all been verified, owing to t-he en- tanglement of certain threads of fate. 27 w I N V N v..1C ' J. X ...A . , -, z., :Ag-.:':: V, 4 TI-IE GAMMA CHAPTER OF THE AGONIAN FRATERNITY. REVIOUS to the year 1890 there were no exclusively feminine literary societies connected with KE, the Fredonia Normal School. During the session of 1890-QI two young women's societies were 9 formed. These were known as the Neosophic and Alpha Mu societies. They thrived during the ' ' 'Al year of their organization and recommenced their activities in the following school year,-but they were destined to be short lived. In March, 1892, two delegates from the Agonian.Fraternity-one from Oneonta, the other from'Gene- seo-came to Fredonia for the purpose of forming a Chapter. After several days of work on the part of the delegates, and of consideration on the part of the existing societies, the idea of duality for the sake of compe- tition was, With some other early precepts, overruled for the time. The two societies were merged, afarewell banquet was given, and the Gamma Chapter of the Agonian Fraternity, with fifty-three charter members, was formed. The new organization was destined for a longer life and wider bounds of helpfulness. Its ac- tivity has been stimulated from the nrst by the co-operation of the sister Chapters, while latterly the element of competition has not been wholly lacking. Aside from these influences, the Chapter has enjoyed a vigorous and useful existence through its own strength and its energetic application to its chosen department-literary work-with business conducted according to parliamentary and healthful intersprinkling of social intercourse. The Chapter has outgrown two rooms and now occupies its third apartrnent.VVhile the roll varies in length from year to year, as the older members join the Alumni, and their places, as active members, are taken by new- corners-the spirit and power of the society waxes strong with increasing years. As 'time goes on the work done improves in many respects. As an illustration of this and of the co-operative spirit which aids -the com- petitive in the perfection of designs, by the different literary organizations now exisiting in the school, attention is directed to the improvement in the lecture courses presented. The first annual convention of the Agonian Fraternity, as such, was held at Oneonta in October of 1892. The Fraternity then consisted of' three Chapters. Since that time the yearly convention has met with the different Chapters in the month of October. The Chapters of the Fraternity are now seven in number: The 1. Alpha, at Genesog 2. Beta, at Oneonta, 3. Gamma, at Fredoniag 4. Delta, at Plattsburgg 5. Epsilon, at Mansfieldg 6. Zeta, at.Brockport, 7. Eta, at jamaica. , , 29 PHILALETHEAN FRATERNITY. ' N September, 1894, owing to dissensions in the Zetesian Society, twenty-one young men withdrew from that society and formed a second young men's literary society in the school. The Hrst meet- X ing was held September ro for the purpose of electing officers, consisting of president and minor , A, oiiicers, and the transaction of other business. The late William D. Adkins was the fir-st presi- dent of the society. Following his election a committee was appointed to prepare a temporary constitution and also a committee to investigate in regard to a room for a society home. , The society met in the Methods room in special session September 12, under the name of the Young Men's Literary Society, This name was retained until October ist, when, by a vote of twenty to one, it was decided to join the Philalethean Fraternity and the society has since been known as the Epsilon Chapter of the Philalethean Fraternity. The first program, given by the society after its temporary organization, commenced by singing Our Country 'tis of Thee. A more loyal, devoted and conscientious class of young men never lifted their voices in song in the Fredonia Normal School than the young men who, on that September evening, sang the national anthem. The young men who sang that song were undergoing a struggle which was not only to effect them- selves, but the future history of the society and the histories of the other literary societies in the school It was fitting, therefore, that they should herald the birth of the new organization by singing the song that has in- spired the millions to do grand and noble work. Interest in the new society increased until, on March 9, 1895, there were thirty three active members, and more were constantly being added. The permanent constitution was adopted October 27. It has since remained as then adopted, with the exception of a few amendments made necessary in order to meet the changing ond itions From the time of the adoption of the constitution until the school year, ,97-'98, the society enjoyed a gradual growth. The members were deeply 'interested in the work being carried on and found in the meetings that training which is so essential when the prescribed course is completed, the Normal halls receive the last good-bye and the stu- dents go out into the world to do and to dare for that which is elevating and just and noble and right. -' 3l c..g.l. During the school year mentioned the Philalethiean Glee Club was organized. Professor Harter, Who Was then Professor of vocal musicin the school, kindly consented to drill the singers, and accordingly arrangements were made for practice once a week. In a short time thefclub had gained unexpected popularity and the in- terest in the Philalethean Society was augmented to a large degree. The membership increased to such an extent that in june, '98 there were fifty-six active members enrolled. The graduating class of that year con- tained a large per cent of Philaletheans, the president of the class, Adams Phillips, being a charter member. For five consecutive years, commencing in 1895, the class president has been some member of the Philalethean society. ' Although the membership of the society is not so large at present as it has been in the past, the same enthusiasm and loyal devotion on the part of the members still continue. The young men are active and ag- gressive and will, Without doubt, continue to be an enterprising and progressive class of young men. The society is destined to remain the important factor in training young men for the practical problems of life, the same as it has been since its inception in 1894. The old gold and purple are as dear as ever to the heart of every Philalethean. They stand for noble purposes, unity and manly endeavor. Three cheers for the colors of the Epsilon Chapter of the Philalethean Fraternity. Let them be seen on all sides. They have stood for something in the pastg they stand for more today, and they will be dearer and more Widely Worn in the future. LOUIS R. SMITH. A GAME OF BASKET BALL.

T was in the year 1870 that the pupils of the Fredonia Normal School organized the Zetesian Society. This being the first organization of the kind in the school, the members included not only young men, but young ladies also, although these were later excluded. One of the striking facts about the first records is that the pages are beautifully written, and-invariably by young ladies. Since then, the work and nature of the society has changed and broadened, the innovation of mock con- gress being introduced in February, 1887. Of old members who have since risen to distinction, the society has many to boast. And they afhrm that the training obtained in their society work has been of great practical value. At any rate the old ties of fellowship and devotion to the society are easily seen in the conversation of these men, no matter how much busied since then they may have been, the old society feeling has clung to them. Among these honorary members are many residents of Fredonia-Henry Leeworthy, Dr. A. W. Dods, W. A. Holcomb, H. L. Cum- ming. Also the names of a few. well known not only in the county, but some with almost a national reputa- tion-john lVoodward, james McGraw, C. C. Hill, A. C. Anderson, Robert Eddy, H. G. Rask, J. Crissey. Perhaps every subject possible to be debated may be found on the Zetesian books, from that of vihether the dog is of greater usefulness than the cat, to the deepest and broadest subjects of morality and politics, as Does Morality Keep Pace With Civilization? and VVill Our Republic Be Permanent as Such? Every little way in the secretary's books may be found records of the diversions the society used, to relieve the strain of school work-or' for some more useful purpose, which the couples bound by indissoluble ties in these later days are witness to. The mere mention of these picnics, plays, debates, outings, banquets and the rest, must bring a flood of limpid, flashing memories to our revered Zetesians of earlier times. Yes, they acknowl- edge it by the enthusiastic sparkle of eye, and the momentary wistful feeling that follows, for the dear, good old days, long gone. , 33 As they look back now, those Were days of rollicking fun and hearty Work. And here may be men- tioned a few of the records which are particularly spicy. We beg none ot our honorary members Will take offense, for the intentions in giving these extracts are of the best. At the time of the separation, in 1894, from the society of a number of its members, the book records their resignation. And upon the title page appears the Wrathful Words, A chicken-hearted Zetesian is called a Philalethean! But the spirit which prompted such a definition has cooled with time till there is little of it now. Another place, in the records of the seventies, tells of the appointment of a secretary to succeed W. H. Butts, doped. This must have been a standing joke, for it is again mentioned in the minutes Then there are the reports H of some Urine speeches, on, for instance, Darwinism, Noah, Soap, etc. At the present date the society has about Hfty members, and looks forward to a very prosperous year during rgoo-'o1. -S.

The roll call Alpha Del a Society in this school The society was made up of active, earnest girls who labored to make the society a success and we see the result ofgtheir toil in the societ the started. In October, of theffsame year, c 1, A Y Y p V, ,A delegates of the Fredonia Alpha Delta met with representatives of other schools, at Brockport, and the consti- tution of the Alpha Delta Sorority was prepared. This was accepted and soon four chapters in four New York State Normal Schools wore the lavender ribbon of the Al ha Delta Sorority as the token of membership, and claimed the P chrysanthemum as the flower of Alpha Delta. V-ggghese four chapters are, as seven years ago, the only chapters of Alpha ALPHA DELTA. SIA wp! HE month of May, 1893, is a memorable one for the Fredonia Normal school for that marks the advent of the of Alpha Delta is as follows: Alpha Chapter, located at Brockport, Beta, of Oneontag Gamma, Fredonia, and Delta, at Cortland. The feeling of true sisterhood which exists between the Chapters is evinced in every annual convention, which, following the example of the organization of the Sorority, occurs the last Saturday in October. The membership of the Gamma Chapter is between thirty and forty, and that of the Sorority not less than one hundred. The object of the society is a literary one and its benefits in that direction are great. The authors, poets, historians. etc,, studied acquaint the members with the best literature of this age and oi those ages past, while the lessons in Cu, tent Topics keep the busy student posted on the chief current events in the world's history. This, then, is the chief purpose of the society. but it accomplishes this and more. Many of the members are young in school and when they rise in classes are overcome with fear of the instructor and hesitation in speaking before their classmates. Society work aids such students more 'than would be thought possible, for, after several times serving to assist in giving the program, the most timid will realize that the members are not critical, but very sympathetic, and soon the timid one will grow more independent until perfect freedom and confidence result. Another great benefit which is well understood is the cultivation of the,social faculties. It seems needless to say that the meetings of the Chapters bring about better acquaintance and consequently better understanding and comradeship. There are often little sccial evenings, designed expressly for that purpose. The most common of these is the regular quarterly 36 ' i 1 Em U 4 1 V . Q22 . If v 1 yi fi spread, which takes place after installation of officers. The most important events in Chapter life are the initiations. Then it is that the halls resound with ear-piercing shrieks and ghost-like forms tread up and clown, while above all the din' the wierd hooting of the Alpha Delta owl rises clear and loud. The Gamma Chapter has been unfortunate in not havi'g a home all her own, but all the members truly appreciate the kindness of the .Christian Associations, whose rocm we are privileged to use. Many things remainto be chronicled, but all cannot be told. We have, the retcre, reserved the last space for that symbol of Alpha Delta with which all normal students should be familiar, the yell, and we give it last as it occupies the weekly meeting, and is most commonly heard shortly befcre ten o'clock on Saturday evenings, Bah l-lo!

N all Well regulated Art Schools there are classes for sketching from life. At Fredonia we can- Our models are usually students, or other accommodating friends. Anyone who offers to pose finds his offer instantly accepted, and the date speedily arranged. Sometimes the crop of models is plen- tiful and the Sketch Club rejoices. Sometimes, especially at Christmas time or in very pleasant Weather, there is a dearth and we are cast down. The mediums used are mostly pencil, pen and ink, and crayon. The styles of Work are as numerous as the members, but careful observers can tell on what altar incense is burned to Abbey, to Gibson, to Sterner. The completion of each school year is celebrated by an informal spread at the studio, when lem- onade is stirred with a palette knife and olives are speared on hat pins inc orthodox Bohemian style. Sometimes informal roasts are given in which we Wish each other success in the summer Work. Some of us spend the season with the artistic at Chautauqua, some do their sketching near Fredonia, and some journey farther. Sometimes We rejoice with a member who is called to a Wider field of labor next year. But in spite of losses and gains in our ranks We always trust that enough former members will return in the fall to give the same old Sketch Club a pleasant reunion. o ' 1 40 1rf..zsnaz:fi:.zf:.-fry.: ' -v,v?---n 1-i -v sk, and re ' t b usa ye ask i A WELL KNOWN QUARTET OF F.

' The speaker, half hidden in the dusk, rested his elbows on his ., knees and buried his face in his hands. Had he been a tragedy king he would have paced the ver- anda and torn his hair, and had he done this, pretty Katherine might have relented, but he was only Fred Gaynor, and Kitty Fairley answered him with a short, contemptuous laugh. V The katydids chirped their evening quarrel, the locusts hummed their drowsy evening song, while over the harvest fields, yellow with grain, the moon rose majestically. The picture it' shone on was a pretty one, for the imprints of toil and worry on his face were softened in the pale moonlight, and Kitty, sitting with clasped hands on the very top step, seemed blessed with its silvery splendor. At length she rose. If I'm going in the morning, you've got to go home, she announced, shaking out her blue dimity skirt. Fm tired, she added, and you ought to be. The man obediently roused him- self and held out his hand. All right, little girl, he answered, but I won't say good-bye, and he waited awkwardly. But little girl had displeased Milady and she stood stubbornly with her hands behind her. Won't you shake hands ? he finally asked reproachfully, and Kitty, blushing for her rudeness, put one little hand in his and said more gently, Goodnight, Fred. It was an awkward moment, but Kitty was tired and cross, so she jerked her hand away rather shortly, and with another curt Goodnight, Went in and slammed the screen door. Twenty-four hours later Katherine Fairley sat alone in her bare little room, her hat and jacket on the bed, her gloves on the unadorned table and her trunk, looming up like a coffin, in the middle of the floor. She would stoutly have declared that she was not homesick, aye, that she even enjoyed it, but deep down in her selfish little heart she wished Mother were there to advise, and wondered dismally how she could ever hang those pictures without Fred to put up the nails. But domestic arrangements had never bothered her small head, so these minor details were soon forgotten in the more absorbing castles of fame she had builded for herself. Three years of successful teaching in a district school had encouraged the girl to rise higher in the pro-E fession. The open admiration of the quiet little village had, perhaps, tended to make the child overestimate her own Worth, but, be that as it may, when she announced her intention of supplementing her education with a normal course, the little world of Hopeshire had enthusiastically applauded. To be sure, Fred Gaynor, having waited already three years to satisfy the caprices of his lady love, had looked upon the venture as a last straw, but to Kitty, fancy free, the bright baubles of a worldly future were more alluring than the com- monplace circumstance of being loved. 44' , ' ..x.+, , 7,2 Katherine's egotism was perhaps pardonable, but the registration days at the Normal tried her self- complancency severely. WVhat had seemed so great to her, counted for so little with the faculty in classifying her, and her first ,bite of humble pie she tasted in the true estimation of her preparation, But she was not of little courage, and the buoyant spirit of a girl of twenty-two readily rises from such petty disappointments, and so Miss Fairley began her course hopefully. The first weeks were varied in experiences. Katherine dis- covered that her philosophy had not been of the experimental nature, and that her Algebra was the professor's parrot-talk, and, simple, trusting soul that she was, she- one day asked him where his parrot was educated. Why he smiled Kitty couldn't understand, nor why the Greek class should smile when she inquired if here was a Homeric expression. These unhappy incidents, though incomprehensible to her, left the impression upon her mind that something was wrong and she grew more cautious. Yet she was studious and persevering despite her shallow nature, and she struggled bravely on, alone. To the practice department, she descended like a victor, her laurel wreath already earned. With three years of practice could a class of children frighten her? She listened in astonishment to the tales of perse- cuted teachers and smiled confidently. Oh, well, when one has taught, it is different, she said. It was. The scientific spirits of the lower world spent their first week under Miss Fairley in docility, and she flattered herself openly. Her fellow teachers smiled. One day she entered the class to be accosted with the question, Say, Miss Fairley, I saw you last night, did you see me? Hush, Charles, said Katherine mildly, and Charles hushed to give another child the opportunity ofsaying, How do you like Miss Penny's beau? anda third hummed VVilly Boy. Poor Katherine was amazed, cornered, crushed. She might have been sixteen for all that her dignitv counted. That moment of hesitation cost her dearly, for in that mo- ment eighteen children rushed through the open gate of her authority and her control was lost. She steadily avoided the object of interest, 'William Harmon, after that, and hoped earnestly to re-in- state herself as ruler of her class. Mr Harmon wondered, sought her, was snubbed, and all to no avail. The bright-eyed imps took the situation in and one day accosted her with the question, Miss Fairluy, why are you a. bird? - Katherine took no note of the interruption and proceeded with the lesson, until a small, brown hand was innocently raised. What is it, Len? she asked pleasantly. Because you are trying to whip-poor Will,'l was the reply. ' Long after the lights were out that night, Katherine Fairley lay with eyes painfully wide open, search- in the darkness for one ray of hope. Those practice kids, -the girl had lapsed into slang- will be the death of me! she moaned, and then a faint sound outside the door brought her bolt upright. It sounded spectral, for she did not hear a low giggle or the subdued whisper a less troubled person might. The door was tried, it opened, and slowly there advanced into the room three forms draped in white, their hollow eyes gazing sorrowfully at her. Faith, whispered the one, 4' Hope, admonished another, and Charity ' said the third, and then poor Kitty buried her head under the pillows, and when, some hours later, she dared peep out the room was still and the moonlight only disclosed the familiar objects of her abode. 45 ' The next day, however, Miss Fairley left the Club. In her nervous fear nothing could reassure her, nothing could induce her to remain, so away she went to new quarters. For a time affairs promised well. The new practice class had not learned their teacher, while she had learned hers and appeared to better ad- vantage than in her earlier career. Algebra, once mastered, was a 'C snap, while Cicero was fine -when one had learned to ride. And then, one never-to-be-forgotten day, there were smuggled into the Laboratory, innocent parcels containing apparatusQ?j. The uses of these were obvious. The purity of the chocolate was at stake and must be proved. The specific density of milk and butter promised to be most interesting, and the' sugar-Why, that must have been to feed the Hies. And these preliminary obligations accomplished, the class, under the able direction of the champion fudge-maker, Katherine Fairley, proceeded to mix the in-. gredients, that they might be disposed of the more easily. Slowly the mass assumed the proper consistency, but the mischief was out, Kitty Fairley had let it burn, and the sensitive nostrils of the scientific sylph were ever on the alert. The punishment that followed, and the deep sence of shame bore heavily upon Kitty's guilty conscience. Day followed upon day, and each bought an added sense of the folly of it all, until Katherine developed a mor- bid propensity for solitude, and became snobbish, the girls said. One Saturday at twilight Kitty sat with Mr. Harmon who. upon this occasion, had refused to be snubbed, when the rumble of familiar wheels sounded down the street and presently the Gaynor spring wagon stopped at the gate, and Fred, big, brown and strong, jumped down, straw hat and all, to greet the 't little girl. Harmon looked and felt decidedly out of place, and Kitty, not at all at ease, stared hopelessly from one to the other. Presently the Normal youth bade the duet adieu, and Katherine flushed, and half an- gry, she knew not at what, shrunk back into the shadows. Fred chatted easily enough, but poor Kitty, glanc- ing shyly at him now and then, did not' enjoy the look in his eyes. Soon he rose and said awkwardly, What shall I tell your mother? Anything ? A great homesick lump rose in Kitty's throat, but pride pulled at Kitty's heartstrings and she answered, No ' He did not offer to shake hands. He merely said Good-bye, and left her alone on the steps. He had untied his horses and was carefully turning them when a graceful figure ran down the walk, calling, Fred F Oh! Fred! Wait! I'm going with you, and bareheaded and breathless Kitty climbed up by his side. They were almost home. Kitty, he spoke for the first time, what does this mean, dear? and he laid his coat gently around her shoulders to protect her from the night. -'Kitty nestled close to him in the roomy old wagon and slipped her little hand into his big warm one, and cuddled her golden. head against his rough shoulder. Guess, she whispered, and under the cover of a moonless night Fred Gaynor guessed. , P, G. rims. 46 BOARDING HOUSES. 64 E eat to live, but do not live to eat said one of the sages of old. The saying is more or less exemplified in the various boarding houses of today. In some respects people contradict the statement and seem to live merely to eat, In a place like this, where it is a question of getting through a course of study as quickly or as pleas- antly as possible, the matter of eating is generally regarded as an unwelcome case of can't-get-around-it, and is met in the most available manner that presents itself. And the new student who, with exalted ideas of economy, tries to be a boarding house in himself, as it were, soon comes to the conclusion that his hours are better spent with mathemetics and classics than with the geometry of pies and with Browning potatoes. Then he contents himself at the club or with some kind boarding mistress during the remainder of his school days. Q The Normal Boarding Club, and the two clubs whose union formed it, have been and always will be the moulding room of history. In the Gentlemen's Boarding Club friendships have been formed that will last a lifetime, memories have been treasured that nothing in life can efface, young men have been quartered who have achieved enviable reputations, and club politics indulged in which paved the way to the arena of public life. Through all the beaming face of john Hunley, always looking out for the wellfare of his boys, has fixed itself on every club memory. In the Ladies' Club, the larger membership and the stricter discipline have been incentives for many an escapade frowned upon by the authorities, but laughed at for months afterwards by the perpetrators. The two clubs are now united and in the beautiful new dining hall John Hunley, assisting Miss Hayward, smiles upon an array of merry lads and lassies, whose laughing jests and funny pranks would lend appetite to a dyspeptic. Much space could be given' but for the limits of this article, to the various private boarding houses. The writer kept one once and might still be coining fame, but for the unlucky coincidence of a preacher, a lawyer and a pretty hired girl being there at the same time. The lawyer held court, the hired girl admitted an attachment. the preacher ff did the rest, and the boarding house' collapsed. w A Down Canadaway Street is an estagnlishment known as the Yankee Doodle Boarding Club, which has been a terror to the neighbors and a source of mingled worry and joy to the landlady. On the neighbor's plum tree the boarders familiarize themselves withlljrofessor Dana's Corollaries, and on the side of another neighbor's house they play tick-tack with a slab of wood-still, they are a brainey lot, and school and society have felt their presence. It And, as the man said when he got a bill the first of the month, there are others. A M. R. W. ' 47 ' THE NORMAL LEADER. A -.af HE history of the Normal Leader began about the year 1889, when the members of the i' Zetesian and Alpha Delta societies began agitating the question of a school paper. After in A looking over the ground, everything seemed favorable to the publication of a paper and some E c j time later the scheme materialized. During the years from its origin to the end of the spring ' term of 1896, the paper continued in its career, but at that time it was decided to discontinue it. It is probable that during this time many students received their first introduction to newspaper and literary Work by Working on the Leader staff. Mr. E. C. Markham, a fbrmer editor, is now editor of the Ripley Review. Mr. L. C. Robertson, another ex-editor, is city editor of the Grape Belt, and is also con- nected with the Advertiser and Union. Many others might be mentioned now holding responsible posi- tions who have been connected with the Leader. ln the spring of '99 the Zetesian society decided to again renew the publication of a school paper and gave it the sa.me name as before. In regard to renewing the publication, the editor well expressed how the Leader came to be revived. After speaking of the marked advances made in several lines of Work in the school, he said, That we might keep pace with these advancements it has seemed both fitting and necessary for the school to be represented by va school paper, hence, the Leader. The aim has been to produce a Wide-awake school paper and the school has certainly appreciated the attempt. The first issue came out in June, '90, and was issued as a souvenir of the graduating class. At present the Leader contains seven distinct departments, each presided over by a competent editor. The support which the school has given the Leader is evidently put to good advantage, for during the year it has contained a.rticles by Dr. Palmer, Prof. Jewett, Prof. Holcomb, and by several graduates of the school. This support has been rendered to the literary column and the other departments have been held well up to the high standard of the literary. A valuable addition to the paper, which few school papers have yet recognized as valuable in a paper is the publishing of a cut nearly every month. These have been made either from drawings or from photographs. The cuts of the basket- and foot-ball teams on another page are examples of the Leader's cuts. The school may Well be interested in so line a school paper. Students especially should give it their heartiest support and help it to maintain its high ideal as- a school paper.

' I 1,j1'- LAFAYETTEYS VISIT TO FREDONIA IN 1825. the recent erection of a tablet in Library hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution to the memory of General Laifayettes visit to this village, an incident was related which oc- E Q 3 curred in connection with the visit in 1825. Lafayette was expected to stop here on his wary -'A I 3 through the country, and, of course, great preparations were made to celebrate the occasion with fitting honors. He was expected to arrive some time in the afternoon, and a, reception was to be held in the parlors of what is now the Hotel Columbia. Owing to delays Lafayette did not reach the village until two o'cloclc in the niorning, but the reception was held nevertheless. Mrs. Crosby, one of the tirst ladies of the town, had recently purchased a new bonnet and a very handsome plum colored silk ma.ntilla,, trimmed with lace. These articles were much more elaborate than any owned by the other ladies, and some of them expressed their regret to Mrs. Crosby that they had nothing suitable to wear to the reception. She generously offered t-o go in and meet ,the hero first, then come out and pass the inantilla and bonnet on to the next lady. The oder was accepted and six of the prominent women in town took turns at greeting Lafayette in the silk niantilla. Some years later a friend of a Fredonia QBIII-lttlllilill while in Paris came upon the diary kept by Lafayette during his visit to the United States. More attention had been given to the stop at Fredonia than to any other place of its size owing to the warm welcome he had received and to the fact that the natural gas had just been discovered here and had been piped along the ground in order to be used that night. Lafayette also remarked on the number of elegantly dressed women who attended the reception, and noted the remarkable similarity of the ladies, costumes. There are at present two residents in this village who were living at that time. One was a little girl and she was not allowed to sit up to see the general, but the ot-her one, a, small boy, stayed up all night and rode on the step of La.fayette's carriage as it drove into town. 50 AIHIETECS ATHLETICS IN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. ONG algo a'certain wise man gave to the 'world a proyerb, great ,A oaks from little acorns grow, and in reviewing the history of the interest and growth of athletics in our own Normal School we may find a practical illustration of the metaphor. I 5: - fl- With the founding, almost, of the institution there was manifested a tendency to unite, with mental development, physical improvement, and, I X R although the idea was but rudely carried out, yet the acorn was planted. ,f ill lt was in view of this end that a gymnasium, poor, indeed, we would 7'-Q think, but ample, no doubt, in those days. was fitted up in at room on the third floor, now used as an art room. The apparatus was composed of 'f a few dumb-bells, wands and rings, and the variety of exercise was neces- sarily limited. The work consisted chiefly of wha.t is termed Hfree gymnastics -i. e.,gymnastics without appliances-and in simple drills with the few properties at hand. ff' In '94 Miss Edna Fuller came to Fredonia and applied for a positionin the capacity she now holds. Previous to this time the Chapel had been erected, and the rooms in the basement dedicated to this ca.use. Under somewhat opposing circumstances Miss Fuller began the work of introducing a systematic course of physical training, Like all new departures the results were not at all times encouraging. The students did not show the interest in the movement that might have been expected, 'and for a time the course was looked upon as a drudgery. A term of one year, for young women, and twenty weeks, for young men, was decided upon and soon, regular gymnasium suits were adopted. To superintend the heavier work of the young inen's class, Dr. Dods was employed, and has been retained in the position ever since. Through the efforts and interest of the teachers more extensive apparatus NVELS obtained, and as the gymnasium became better equipped a greater interest was manifested. 52 FOOT BALL ELEVEN, 1899 In 1898-99 the new gymnasium was built on the grounds by the state, and it is in these more como- dious quarters that the classes today enjoy the more abundant facilities for physical culture. From a- third-story room to a. large and well-equipped hall the gymnasium has been moved, and the growth of the surroundings marks, and justly so, the growth of the importa-nt place the course holds. The Work, it must not be supposed, is confined to the Normal and Academic departments. The physical education-of the child begins with his entrance into school and continues throughout his school years. Physical training in the practice schools is under the immediate supervision of Miss Fuller, while the practice teachers are given the opportunity of teaching the classes in those rooms. Methods of con- ducting gymnastic exercises are given in the Normal class of girls, and in the children of the school oppor- tunity is given for experience. As yet the amount of work possible in those grades is unsatisfactory, although there is some time each day devoted to'a.thletic work, but it is the aim of those in charge to ac- complish all possible in the least possible time, hoping for greater opportunities in the golden future. Cloncerning the sports that are indulged in it may be said that the growth has not been one-sided. Basket hall was introduced early. As the interest began to grow among the various athletic teams there was felt a need of some stronger organization to exercise control over the, work in this line. Team or- ganization was good, as far it went, but it did not furnish as substantiala, foundation as was required. The matter was discussed more or less during the year '98-'99, and towards the close of 1899, at a. meet- ing of those interested, it was decided to organize an athletic association. Three members of the faculty and two students were elected as members of the council for one year. The first duty of this council was to draft ai set of articles by which the athletics were to be controlled. Soon after the opening of the school yea r, in the fall of 599, the council presented a report of what they had done and opened the association for membership. The articles adopted contained much the same spirit as those found in colleges, an d will undoubtedly prove a great help to our school athletics. Since this organization was effected many of the students have availed themselves of its advantages and at the same time assisted in perfecting the system. The most notable improvement, thus far, over the old system is the increased interest manifested by students and townspeople in the athletic work, and it is useless to state that this is one of the absolute necessities in running successfully any athletic team. There is also an evident improvement- in the character of the sports. Thus far this year the playing ing has been of the cleanest and most gentlemanly kind, which has been and should be greatly encouraged. Before the organization of the Athletic Association foot-ball was not much of a. success here, but last- year the team made at very good showing and in the future we hope to have ai team that will provea great credit to the school, As has been said basket-ball has aroused much interest and the work this 54 BASKET BALL TEAM 1899-1900 year has made the game more popular than ever before. Several match games were played, of which the Normals won the largest share. Baseball has for several yeazrs ha d the leading place among' the out door sports. In the spring of '98 the sad accident, which resulted in death, happening to one of the members ofthe team checked the enthusiasm for at little time. Two seasons past, however, a team has existed and to judge from the eagerness to practice, manifested by some ot the boys this year some bright playing is expected. The pupils going out from the school and starting on their mission in life, go, not only versed in the classics and sciences, but also with a practical knowledge for the necessity tor the mutual development of body and mind. No better tribute could be paid to those whose ceaseless endeavors have Wrought the present conditions than the monuments of living examples of the benefit derived, aul the rexvard they are reaping from that little germ planted thirty long years ago.

FENNER, before one of the New York State Medc- cal Societies, in the Assembly Chamber at Albany, N. Y. Jan. 27th, 18629. DOCTOR FENNER'S i Cou h Honey l lt will break up a COLD IN THE HEAD before any cough has formed in two to three hours. 2 lt will relieve any Cough in one hour or less. 3 lt is a SPECIFIC in any Cough from any Cause, and it cures the disease from which the cough arises. 4 But its best work is as a PREVENTIVE of disease. used as a pro- phylactic. A full dose taken before exposure to wet, cold, dampness, drafts Or Overwork, will prevent the taking of cold, rheumatism or other disease. It a cold is already on, but no cough yet formed, a single dose will clear the nose, throat and eyes, so that no cough will form. It wards off distempers, sorethroat. diphtheria, croup, fevers. scarlatina, and other inlectuous and contagious diseases. If any such disease is already on its continued use renders them light and harmless though they might otherwise prove grave and fatal. lt does this by fortifying the system. lt invigorates the nerves. lt reinforces all the vital energies. It thus gives a backing which enables the system to resist, arrest or rid itself ot disease. No giving way, no sinking spells, no 'theart failures occur when the system is fortified by the Cough Honey. , It may thus be used in low states of the system in any disease, like the turn of a fever, and then no sinking spell will occur. Used with Dr. Fenner's Golden Relief in Grip, Croup and Diphtheria a patient would seldom die of those diseases. Used with the same in Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis and Consumption, how many precious lives might be saved. A person would rarely die of consumption or,,other lung disease who uses these-two-remediespersistently and well, and whose lungs are not too far gone before beginning their use to permit of recovery. From an Emzhent Teacher: Prof. H. R. Sanford, President of the New York State Teachers' Association, Supt. Public Schools at Middletown, N.Y., etc., writes: From repeated use of Dr. Fenner s Cough Honey in my fam- ily I am free to say that I consider it the best remedy known Its action is prompt and reliable. In the frequent colds so common among children it is a great boon. H. R. SANFORD. Sold by dealers. Price 25c, 50c, 51.00.
