THE TRIALS OF A STRONG MAN UA A- an VERYTHING seemed especially fragile. He WNW started up the stairs. Zip! The stair-casing gave way with a splintering crash beneath his Q step. He grasped the door knob and the door was abruptly yanked off its hinges. t Meeting a few of the fellows, he shook hands, but they howled with pain and nursed their crushed fingers. In the morning he had gone out to do his duty by the cow over at Murphy's, but carelessly brushing against her, the cow toppled over and roll against the barn. When he stopped to pull an orangeg the whole tree came up by the roots and fell over on him. ' What was the trouble? He was puzzled at his suddenly acquired Herculean strength which was proving so disastrous. He shut the window. Bang! Every pane of glass was shattered into atoms. He mounted his bicycle. Immediately the wheel was reduced to a mass of wreckage beneath his weight. He went out on the college campus to play ball with the fellowsg but he threw the ball so far that nobody could find it, so they put him out of the game. When he took hold of the railing to get aboard the street car, the car was pulled off the track, delaying traffic for hours. What was he to do? If he should accidentally brush against a down-town skyscraper, it mighti--- Just then the alarm went off in Jack Fenton's room of the Weston College dormitory. He awoke, stretched himself and said aloud, What a beast of a dream.

22 THE ARIEL had seen the episode. Waiting his chance, he picked up the package to give to the man who was hasting back in search of it. Upon feeling it he discovered it was china and had broke-n. A Sorry old pal, but I guess it's no good now, said the tramp handingiit to the eager, impatient man. Broken! the stranger repeated, Broken, and that was to be little Dot's Christmas present. I have no more money. Poor Dot! Oh! The last word was uttered with such an accent of anguish that the tramp looked up quickly, only to see the other man gaz- ing piteously at the broken fragments lying in his rough, toil- stained hand. The throng jostled past, but the two men on the street corner heeded it not. Dot! said the tramp. I once had a little girl named Dot-she-died. His voice broke as he spokex Here, putting his hand in his pocket, it's all I got, but take it pard and buy your Dot another present. The men clasped hands-and parted. The noise was deaf- ening, the snow was falling fast, it was growing colder, the crowds hurried on and the men were lost forever from each other. The next day there was great peace, rejoicing and happi- ness in the thousands of homes in the city, but on the last page of the newspaper was the small and insignificant item: A tramp found dead from cold and hunger on the door-step of R. Jones, Toymaker. No name, no clue, no money. , -Helen Young He looked a look, Then smiled a smile, She grinned a grin- They Walked awhile. -Selah

We have every reason for stating that it was one of the happiest and most prosperous years that the Santa Ana High School and THE ARIEL have ever witnessed. Not only has the magazine been published quite regularly, but both students and faculty have taken an interest in it. We feel also, that despite general comment, a more lively school spirit was manifest this year than has been shown for several years past. Students have taken more of an interest in school affairs away from home and in almost every case a fairly representative crowd has accompanied the teams. But students, the spirit is not yet what it ought to be. There have been de- ticiencies in several funds. Do not let this happen next year. Support your teams at home and abroad to such an extent that other schools may point to the great school spirit displayed by the Santa Ana High School.
