NUMBER I0 PRUDENT PEOPLE PURCHASE PRICKLY PORCUPINES LIFE’S BATTLE FOR TWENTY-ONE Once upon a time there was a learned king of wide renown, of striking personality, of in- domitable will, and firm purpose. desire to make his subjects worthy men end It was his women, and a people ready to meet the trials of life with unflinching courage end to be en- dowed with an ambition to stop short of noth- ing but a high calling. To assist him in his duties of state he had two learned councilors, one who could fathom the nature and origin of any fowl, beast or plant, while the other was wise in all laws of Physics and wes the Alchemist of the court. But the king did not rely solely upon the as- sistance of these wise men, but found it neces- sary, as wise men do, to call many times for female advice. For this purpose he had called about him five wierd women of varying capabilities, but of equal efficiency. One, 2s astrologer, could prove all the problems of the kingdom by al- gebraic and geometric laws, while her close companion served in the capacity of law maker at the capital, and by her untiring argument never failed to weary the people into consent- ing to her views. Then there were two court linguists, end the king’s private detective, the terror of the realm. One day the king’s page was sent to sum- mons the council, and when all had assembled in the Royal Hall they found the king seated on his throne lost in deep meditation. None dared disturb him, but after a time the bold Physist at his left could bear the suspense no longer, so prostrating himself at the monarch’s feet, he ventured in meekest accents, ‘“We aze come, oh king, most high, and await thy bidd- ing.” His Highness slowly lifted his head and his eyes of steel looked each attendant full in the face and then at length he began. “Most loyal subjects, ye were summoned here today to consider a topic of great moment. But now a courier brought tidings that a great battle is on, “Life’s Battle,” to be won or lost by twenty-one of the throne’s best soldiers, and before I send them to the field of action I crave your advice as to the proper plan of at- tack and defense.” The attentive advisers all bowed low end their ruler continued: “[ thought mighty Sham, the captain of the score out to ‘twould be well to send the lead the main attack, to conquer Berkeley and her degree, on his right as leade- of that rank we'll send the worthy Davis to win a laurel wreath from the journelists and mighty orators in the enemies lines. The wily Geary and the obstinate Briggs may serve as his aids. “The fleet footed Wright will lead the left wing and master all the dead tongues as he runs, but lest he should grow footsore on the stony way we'll send the scientific Johnny as an aid, and let the brainy Ruth, Emma, and Gertrude, so learned in dates and Latin lore, cheer on the race as all together they disperse the foes and near Fame’s hard earned celestial | seat. But tell me, ye men and women of wisdom, who may we spare for the rear guazd ?” “Marie, the guard in the basket game, will always serve well in an obscure but vastly im- portant post,” quote one councilor, while an- other made haste to add, “The other Marie, the goaler, with the historic Elezzine and the wordy Agnes, would serve well, I trow, in any extremity of the great battle, and could always be a protection at the rear against the unlooked for attacks of ignorance, or a chance sharp- shooter’s bullet of slang.” “Let it be so,” spake the king, “and now in that great struggle there will be the wounded to. care for, fevered brows to bathe and break- ing hearts to soothe; we'll send our worthy doctors, so skilled with the cat and dog, let the: artistic Ethel, with her companion, Olita, en- deavor to make life more bearable to the suffer- ing. Do ye approve my subjects?” “We do indeed,” spake out the Physist, “but what provision hast been made for the home coming victors; were it not better to place some of these courageous soldiers on guard at home, that the returning victors may be re- 6 THE PORCUPINE ceived in a manne: meet?” “A wise thought” the king made answer, “Ednz, Mattie and the dignified Esther could well attend to this, they will surely make homes sweet to a victor’s heart.” Then the Lord High, at the Monarch’s right, spake out boldly: “There is one thing I would like to speak to you about, and that is in re- gard to the music. As yet there has been no provision made for martial music, and a battle can be but poorly won without some music- born inspiration.” “Thou speakest truly my lord,” his highness replied, “but anticipating your suggestion I have made provision for that extremity, Leah will play ‘The Rose of Killarney’ when the enemy presses hard and life seems uncertain to the warriors, and when all foes have been van- quished and the Francis will accompany the world’s applause with, ‘Oh Mr. Captain Stop the-Ship.’ ” The council approved and all adjourned. score rush on to victory, qc) ——_—_—_ A COMPARISON OF GEORGE WASH- INGTON AND WARREN HASTINGS here is a strange similitude in the lives of Washington and Hastings. sphere entirely different and separated by half of the vast world, thei: ambitions, force of character, and success in life bear likeness. Each moving in a Everyone knows how the manly little Wash- ington led his school-mates on to victory over the imaginary tribes of Indians, or sternly acted as judge over the culprits of a boyish quarrel. Macaulay tells us how little Warren, on a sum- mer day, lay on the geen sward by the rivulet that through Daylesford to join the Isis, scheming to recover the old domain of his fathers, to be Hastings of Daylesford. Hastings was not given a good education, being taken away from his academy and put at a desk in the office of the East In- dia Co. His ambitions suffered. Washington ‘was never sent to college, but learned to sur- vey, at the same time being interested in mil- itary affairs. In character, these great men were, in a few traits, alike, though in all others entirely dis similar. Through all the struggle for indepen- dence, Washington was the soul of patience and endurance. His personality, alone, kept flows his ragged, half starved troops together. By a strong and steady grasp on affairs Hastings overcame all his personal enemies and those of the company. never without an expedient. He, as Washington, was He formed plans end carried them into execution, rapidly. In twenty-four hours he made and carried into effect the plans that defeated Hyder Ali at Madras. Washington was also quick in his movements. It was always a puzzle to the British what to expect of Washington. Washington is held up to the view of the world as a man of stainless honor and un- questionable integrity, while Hastings has dark spots on his fame. The former was just, the latte , unjust, in many instances. Washington was too noble to stoop to un- fair means to gain selfish or unselfish odds, while Hastings was unscrupulous. In successes in life, both reaped a bountiful harvest. Washington was the Father of his Country, Hastings the Savior of the British Empire. Washington was made the first Pres- ident of the United States, Hastings the first Governor-General of India. The former was always greatly honored by his fellow-men, the latter was not praised by his own generation, but by all following ones. —— THE RESULTS OF A COLLEGE FRIEND- SHIP It was just two weeks before commence- ment in the. college town of L , Kansas, and two girl graduates were slowly walking over the campus, with their arms entwined about each other’s waists. They were both silent, perhaps thinking the same thoughts. Theiz school-life was about over, and they were to go different paths. For four short years they had been room-mates and the best of chums, and now, in a few days, they must part. Mabel was the first to speak. “Say, Bell, as there isn’t anything going on tonight and we are alone, lets take a long stroll and make plans for the future, and say, let’s make a sacred vow to keep our promises.” Of course, Bell was perfectly willing, and their plans were presented. “We will be so lonesome without each other thet I think we had better write, no matter where we are, at least every week.” “Oh, no! twice a week,” answered Mabel. “T will always want to hear from you, and never get tired of writing.” And so the prom- ise was made and they were to write twice a week. “And don’t you think we ought at least try and see each other once a year. Just think, you live in Illinois and I way out in Nebraska. Don't you think we could make a sort of a com- promise and each promise to be present at every alumni.” THE PORCUPINE T “That’s a good scheme, Mabel, but we would have such a short time to visit, that I think we also had better make an agreement to spend at least two weeks in every two years, with each other at our homes, and remember, it doesn’t make any difference what occupation we are in.” And this plan was also eadily carried. “Sometime, Bell, after we have collected our little fortunes and mzede our names conspicuous among the finest artists and writers of the age, we will want to settle down and live a retired life. would never marry, and now —— You know long ago we vowed that we ” said Bell, We will build us a bezutiful, big house and be bachelor “Oh! excuse me for interrupting,” “but I think I catch your idea exactly.

After plans, their bedroom was at lest reached, and And so these two girls had their many little details concerning their sleep found them dreaming of two happy gray- haired women chatting merrily over their tea.

She could not understand this unsought for kindness, when others had re- buked her so harshly. Many eyes turned and gazed at the strange pair as they slowly made their way down the street. But Mabel did not care. She had found the friend whom she had neglected so long. All their plans had long been forgotten. Bell married, against the wishes of her parents, a year after her graduation. During the next year her husband died, leaving her in poverty. Mabel had magried rich, and had gone to Europe to spend a few years, thus losing all trace of Bell. Although none of their vows were kept, both girls remembered with fond: recollection their college days, end now they were bound together by a more lasting friendship than be- foze: M. G. ’03. +e AN ADVENTURE (Continued from last issue) At the first station three passengers came eboard, a man and a lady together, and a lady in black, alone, and no one got the train at that or the next station. The officer the-efore started on the theory that Jackson got off when he walked out, and upon going to the place next day, they found a traveling bag which answered to the description of the one carried by Jackson, and were convinced that he was crossing the country, and by this time, many miles ahead. Nevertheless they pursued, but after following a trail, which they came upon, for severel miles without any news of the fugitive, they gave up the chase and returned home. Mr. Wheaton over the game that had been played upon him, was terribly enraged and hy which he lost many thousand of dollars. However, as he had done all in his power to cetch his fleeing accountant and resigning him- self to fate he went to work to renew his lost credit in the banks where his large checks had been drawn. Jackson had left the car he was in when the train slowed up, took off the outer case of his traveling bag, prepared purposely, and threw it overboard, This occupied a very short space of time; having accomplished it, he climbed on top of the cars and walked back to the last one, were he donned his female attire, and when the train stopped he jumped to the ground and boarded the car in the person of a lady in black. No one noticed the disguise and he traveled to the city of Del Rio on the Pecos River in Texas, where he was to meet his pal and share the proceeds of their trading and live in peace in some foreign land. Imagine his surprise when he went to the meeting place, after a. reasonable length of time and no one came to greet him. At first he thought perhaps there was some misunderstanding and he would wait a week for possible mishap, but still no one came, not even a note of assurance. Then the fear seized upon him that he had been played ° on by a faithless partner, and now stood on the streets of Del Rio without an acquaintance in: 8 “YTHE PORCUPINE the place, nowhere to go for relief, no help to -be expected from the authorities, for what was more than all, he was a criminal, and hunted, sand as soon as he made himself public, even under the name of someone else, he would be taken, because doubtless, his picture was known over the country, and people were watching for him, ready to take him at a moment’s notice. We will leave him stending the-e in the rain and sharp cold wind, for it is winter, and see what has become of Jack Will- jams, with whom we first started. CHAPTER aug In the early days the sheep herders had had ‘a great deal of trouble with the wolves, and every year they lost thousands of sheep; how- ever, in later years they had killed many of them, and now only a few were left to disturb the flocks of sheep which grazed the hillsides. One by one these few were being killed, but one among the number, an old white faced wolf, seemed to bear a chazmed life, for in the many years that he had been pursued no one had ever caught him in any kind of a trap, or even obtained a fair shot at him, and every season, and through the year, he killed numer- ous head of sheep, defying men, guns, dogs, traps and poison. He would noa touch a piece of meat he had not killed at the time, and in that way avoided traps and poison, and because he was so old and experienced, he was able to keep out of gunshot range and away from the dogs. When Jack heard of the wolf he thought that it would be a splendid bit of sport to fol- low him, and if possible, kill him. Accordingly one day he took his hose, provisions for three or four days, gun and plenty of ammunition, and started after the wolf, which had been sighted on the brow of a neighboring hill. He expected to be back in three of four days at most, and many were the comments when the fifth day had passed and he had not yet re- turned, but on the sixth day a relief party, con- sisting of Jackson and Tom Whiffle, departed with an extra horse and several days’ provis- ions. We will follow Jack from the time he left the camp until the time that the movements of the relief party are closely connected with his actions. After leaving the camp he was able to keep the wolf in sight for a short time, and then he lost him and was obliged to go by what he had heard, more than from any defi- nite knowledge of his whereabouts. He rode for two days, and on the evening of the second his horse fell down a deep ravine and broke his leg, and Jack was compelled to shoot it.to end its misery. The next day he proceeded on foot and saw the wolf ata dis- tance of a qua:ter of a mile and going north- ward. Williams followed now with the hopes renewed and at the end of the fifth day he cametoa cenyon, which he could not descend at any point. Walking up for probably a mile he came to where a tree had fallen and now hung by its roots from the top about three quarters of the depth, then with the aid of his lariat he reached the bottom and proceeded to explove, forgetting for the time the object of his journey. As it was then near evening he built a fire on a sheltered ledge, and after eat- ing a very spare meal, lay down and went to sleep. On the sixth day he traveled down stream and on the seventh he came part way back, not caring how long he was gone, as he was enjoying himself, and elthough his pro- visions were very low, there was plenty of game and he did not suffer. On the eighth day, near evening, he reached the fallen tree, and found to his dismay that it had fallen clear down into the gorge, leaving him with no vis- ible means of ascending the wall. On gleme- ing over the tree he saw with surprise that it had not fallen of its own accord, but had been cut off on purpose with some sharp instrument. This was certainly a piece of hard luck and Jack decided to make a raft amd go down the river as far as possible. He made the raft that evening, and the next morning started on his voyage, and the evening of the ninth day brought him in sight of what appeared to be a large cave into which the water poured with a noise resembling thunder. Jack tied up for the night and the next day, after fastening a large rock on the end of the lariat for a drag, he started slowly into the cave. He had pro- ceeded in this way for three hundred yards, when with a fearful crash, a flood of light en- tered the cavern, and a mass of what William supposed was earth and rock fell into the water and drenche d him to the skin with the splash. By the light from above he saw a body float past, but was not able to tell what it was, another was following it; he put out his hand to stop it, and a wave of horror swept over him as he recognized the form of a human be- ing. CHAPTER IV. Jackson had recognized Williams before -he had been at the camp very long, but as his hatred was as deep rooted as ever, and his de- | : : : : : 4 } THE PORCUPINE 9 ‘sire for revenge foremost in his mind, he re- solved to wait until fortune should favor him with an opportunity, and at last he was put in a position which he thought was favorable for his purpose. Upon William’s continued absence the camp became alarmed for his safety and a searching party was appointed to find, if possible, their absent comrade. He said he would be back in a certain time, and as there were many law- Jess men in the country, their fears hed con- siderable grounds, without reckoning on the common accidents which happen to hunters. The searching party was composed of three men of the camp, who provided themselves with the necessities for the trip and started. Jackson was among the ones picked to go and thought that his chance was near, but was un- able to decide what to do. After the three had been out two days they decided to peparate and meet at a certain place after the next day and a half. Thus the hunt proceeded, and on the second day, toward evening, Jackson came to the canyon where Williams had made his descent, and saw the fallen tree hanging by its roots. The canyon mentioned was known through the countr y as Man Trap Canyon because it was practically impossible to scale the per- pendicular walls at any place, even the ani- mals which could get down by dropping from one shelf to another could not return, because of the distance between the narrow ledges. Jackson was aware of all this and the im- pulse to cut the roots of the tree no sooner came than it was executed, and to his mind Williams was a prisoner in the canyon to die, unless by something not much short of a mir- acle happened to release him. It was nearly dark, so Jackson, after finding a suitable spot, some distance from the scene of his work, un- saddled his horse, ate his supper of cold pro- visions, and cup of coffee, which he made on the spot, smoked his pipe, to quiet the excite- ment of his disturbed brain, and lay down to a troubled sleep, and more troublesome dreams of deep holes, into which he was continually falling, and tall trees which fell on him despite his utmost exertions to get out of the way, and woke at last with a start when he thought Williams had dropped a large stone, from a high tree, onto his head, but found it was just a little green frog which had jumped on his face. As it was morning, and daylight, he got up from his bed of leaves, and continued his journey, after eating a breakfast similar to his supper of the night before. He rode along at a sharp gallop, until he came to a small hill et the end of the gorge, which was the meeting place previously agreed upon by the hunters when they sepa- rated. Jackson allowed his ho-se to walk up, and drew him to a halt at the top, where he dismounted and tied to a small, bushy tree. Leying himself down in its shade he was soon lost in the thoughts of his sinful action of the previous evening. His conscience accused him of it and do as he might he could not dis- miss the subject from his mind. Twice he started to go back to the place to restore a means of ascent and twice his cow- ardly nature held him back, afraid that he might be seen in the act, and would rather commit his comrade to the great beyond than assert his better nature and replace that which he had taken away, at the instigation of a sudden impulse, which had not received any second thought beyond thet of revenge for a fancied wrong. A third half decided movement to go, and again he fell back in a sitting posture and his chance of return was gone, for at that moment the horse became frightened, and in his frantic struggles to free himself he partially uprooted the bush and the unusual comotion caused the ground, which proved to be nothing but a thin crust, to cave in, and horse and rider were pre- cipitated through many feet of space into a body of water. The force of the fall was sufficient to render Jackson unconscious for a period of time, dur- ing which he was semi conscious and irrational on account of having contracted a fever, caused by the concusidn. After striking the water he knew nothing more until he awoke on a cot in a long, narrow room, fitted with about a dozen beds, of the same kind which he occupied, a few plain chairs and a stove. At the time he thought nothing of it, being in such a weakened condition, but as he gained strength he gathered from his surroundings that he was in the wardroom of a United States prison hospital, and he was quite alarmed at his situation, not knowing that he had been discovered and arrested. He decided, how- ever, to remain perfectly silent on the event of his past life and in no way betray himself, if it was possible that he was not known, and when he was well to leave the place as quietly as he-had entered it. Jackson soon became 10 quite well acquainted with the place, and learned that he had been left by a party of fishe-men, who hed taken him off a raft of logs further up the coast,.and from this he was quite sure that he was as yet safe from the law. In a month he was able to travel and started back to the camp where he had been employed. Being without means, he was obliged to start on foot, but before long he procured e horse and proceeded on his journey. What had hap- pened since he had fallen through the hole was a mystery to him, and although it was about th-ee weeks ago he had heard nothing of it, and there was no one to ask, at least so he sup- posed, thinking that he had been alone from the time he fell till the time he was picked up, and not being able to explain his ride on the raft of logs he was at a loss. This was the part of his life which was to prove so important to others and so disastrous to him, as you will see. if you care to read the chapter to come. GEAIPAR ERS ae We last saw Williams in the cavern at the time when he recognized the human body. With very little difficulty the body was drawn aboard the raft, and Jeck continued his voyage with his seemingly lifeless companion. Before long the increasing speed of the raft and the sound of the water told Jack that they were nearing a crevice or passage in the wall, and soon the light from the hole above was ex- tinguished, end once again he was in perfect darkness. Before long he saw light ahead, and heard the sound of a waterfall, which rather dis- concerted him, for he saw no way of escape and did not wish to go over; but almost before he could think he came to the edge and went over. When he recovered consciousness he was ly- ing on a sand drift, partly in the water and part on the sand. Remembering the circumstances he looked for his companion but could not see him. He had fastened Jackson to the raft and he knew that if he was on top he was all right, if not, he would probably die. As soon as he was able to welk he started off across country to find where he was, and make arrangements to return to the ranch. Williams had traveled into the hills about six hours when he came to a summer camp and decided that he would inquire the way. Imagine his surprise, when, upon arriving at the camp, he saw the father of the girl who was to be his wife. The meeting was a pain- ful one to him, but he saw no way out of it as THE PORCUPINE Mr. Margrove seemed to recognize him. In- t-oductions and explanations followed the meeting and then Mr. Mergrove understood the continued silence of Jack, and then also for the first-time Jack knew the trick which had been played upon him. Bella and her mother returned in a short time after a t-amp in the hills and matters were fully explained. Jack remained for some time at the invita- tion of the family and it was decided that he should retu-n to the East as a member of the family at the end of the summer outing. He also placed considerable information in the hands of the officials, concerning Jackson, who soon after leaving the hospital was ar- rested, tried and sentenced to a term in prison. The End. } SIR ROGER’S VISIT TO SIR RALPH (Composition written by Undergraduate) Having often received an invitation from his friend, Sir Ralph Benton, Sir Roge last week journeyed to town. It seems he had promised such a visit for above this half year. I ac- companied him thither. My friend, Sir Roger, told me the other morning as we jumbled along in the stagecozch, that the preverse beautiful widow of the next county to him was a sister to Sir Ralph, and when very young they had been estranged f-om one another, but have since been reconciled and are now a good example of a brother and sister. The stagecoach left us et Soho Square, be- fore a gloomy looking stone house. The old knight mounted the stairs and gave two or three irregular bounces at the door, and upon the opening of it, a loud, cheerful voice in- quiring whether Sir Ralph was at home. We were no sooner come into the hall but we were surrounded with a crowd of servants offering us their respective services. Sir Roger after having looked about him very ettentively, and not finding one with a crippled arm, or wooden leg, let the one nearest him take his hat and cane. I was not a little pleased with the curiosity of the old knight, who wondered if Sir Ralph would receive them in evening dress or in a smoking jacket and slippers. We heard Sir Ralph in the hall humming twice or thrice with great vigor, then he, en- tered the room. I was very much pleased to observe the secret joy which his host discov- ered at sight of the good old knight. After the re THE PORCUPINE il first salutes were over, our host desired us to join him in a drive about town. We had but just sta-ted when the good old knight saw an old woman in shabby clothes ome limping along the side-walk. He asked the coachman to stop, (Sir Ralph was one of the few who had a coach,) and calling the old woman to the coach, gave her some money and then drove on. He gave Sir Ralph a severe lecture for turning off old servants and not keeping those who had become cripples. Sir Ralph was so much touched by what Sir Roger said, he at once promised him he would never turn off an old servant unless by his con- duct he was compelled to. This promise seemed to please my friend, the old knight. When the coach was next called to a stop by this good man, to give a piece of money to a tittle boy in rags, Sir Ralph also had a piece ready for the little fellow. As soon as we atrived at the house, the ser- vants who waited upon me told me that the knight’s sister had just arrived in town. I in- formed Sir Roger of this fact, but says he, “Sir Ralph says she is to stay with friends not far distant from here and we shall not interfere with his seeing her.” Misfo-tunes happen to all people: While we were at dinner that evening, word was brought that an old servant of Sir Roger’s was dying and kept asking for him, upon which the old knight made plans for traveling back to his estate the following morning. a re FAREWELL SENIORS The sunny summer days go by, June, with her sweetly smiling face, Wreathed in a wreath of flowers, appears, And that sad day draws on apace. The day when we must bid adieu, To our dear Seniors, brave and bold, Who’ve finished now their high school life And eager watch the years unfold. Before each one a mystic maze Of joy or sorrow, who may tell, ‘The furnace heat but tries the gold, Then joy or sorrow, live it well. How sore we'll miss you, though each place, Be taken by a new recruit, We'll miss each presence, grave or gay, We'll miss each voice, so strangely mute. In Congress Hall in grave debate, No more your earnest tones will ring, No more in field-day sports arrayed, Bright laurels to our school you'll bring. We'll miss you everywhere, but mosi As day by day each wonted place Is vacant, and upon the stairs, We see no more each: kindly face. But go you forth, brave Seniors all, Grind on your armor for the strife, The knowledge that you here have gained, ‘Twill aid end guide through coming life. Where’er the voice of duty calls, Be it to wisdom’s broadest field, Whence higher knowledge you will gain, The pen or sword, to bravely wield. Or to the busy walks of life, Shoulder to shoulder marching on, Helping to bear your brother’s load, Pressing forward till day is gone. Or to the quiet cares of home, Doing each duty, however small, Making the home life pure and sweet, Faithful, truthful, and just in all. Whate’er your part on life’s great stage, May kind success attend you still, Your lives be an honor to our dear school, Where’er the place you are called to fill. Records of lives of worth and fame, Would that the coming years may tell, Thriliing with pride these friends you leave, And now, dear Senior, fare you well. pelea SLL ele ee PARTING THOUGHTS Pungle up your two-bits lad, A ticket to the show — Athletics need a dime r To make the runners go. Two bits here for field or track, A dime goes here and there; If I had my money back I’d be a millionaire Dollars two you'll have to pay . Class dues for Senior bust, Come dig down in your jeans, This is a case of must. Each day puts us on the rack To draw our shekels fair; If I had my money back I’d be a millionair. Graduation comes but once; Now get your tickets here; Roll ‘em high for a little while— A dime to the church fair. Long and gaunt my money sack, But really, do I care? Still had I my money back I’d be a millionair. Ex. 12 THR PORCUPINE “JIM” Yes, strange, that’s Jim. He wasonly a tramp, Jest a rovin’ an’ roamin’ an’ worthless scamp, An’ that on the slab’s all that’s left o’ him. He was only a t-amp, jest a tramp called Jim, But I reckon as how, on th’ other shore, They’ve recorded his name an’ a whole lot more. Jim came t’ my ranch some time last year An’ esked for a bite, an’ I saw a tear A tricklin’ An’ speak.

She’d see him a-comin’ an’ start an’ run T’ met ole Jim when his chores was done, An’ Jim’d get down on his knees, while she Climbed upon his shoulders with childish glee, An’ then they’d play as th’ horse was him An’ she was th’ rider, th’ gal an’ Jim. Well, yistiddy, stranger, th’ gal was out In th’ field, jest playin’ aroun’ about, W’en one o’ Perkens’ bulls came down A-pawin’ an’ rakin’ th’ new plowed groun’; The gal didn’t see no danger in that An’ beckoned th’ bull with her red straw hat. With an angry bellow th’ maddened brute, With his tail in th’ air, took a sudden shoot For th’ gal, an’ in jest a minute or less His horns was caught in th’ young one’s dress. He’d a’torn th child from limb t’ limb, W’en over th’ fence, with a yell, leaped Jim. He was just in time; with his nerves all tense He grabbed th’ gal an’ run f’r th’ fence. He saved th’ gal, but jest too late He started t’ vault the orchard gate, An’ that on th’ slab’s all that’s left o’ hi;m He was only a tramp, jest a tramp, called Jim. M. McD.

EXCHANGES This, our last issue of the exchange column, as well as.of the paper, for this year, we will try. to make more general than heretofore. In the exchanges we have received and some- times, even in our own columns, there has been noticed too enough suggestion. much criticism, and not The purpose of exchange columns in our High School papers help the papers up to a higher and a better status. The papers ought to be bright and interesting, filled with good, original stories, (not those taken from hackneye d plots.) They ought to con- tein articles of human They ought not to be filled half full of jokes, as many of them do—of travels, natu-e and of events of the day. some of them insipid enough, which are only intelligible to a small majority of the pupils in the same school, much less to those of other institutions. So many of the exchange columns and some of the joke columns repeat jokes by the score, from other papers. This is hardly an exhibi- tion of local school talent, and is poor practice when carried to the extreme. We have noticed that many exchanges are illustrated, especially those of the commence- ment numbers. Some of the illustrations are When a. paper can afford it, the illustrating is highly desirable, as it brightens the paper, and brings hand work, others are photographs. the pupils of different schools in close com- munication with one another.

HE Porcupine bids “Godspeed” to the C Class of June 1903. This class has done its work and its verious members have done much for themselves and for the good of the school. They go now to swell the great roll of Alumni and the Porcupine is sure they will not be un- worthy members. this Class the Alumni roll is in- Nia creased to 487 members. ates are widely scattered and are pursuing a These gradu- great diversity of occupations.

ITH this final effort we conclude our con- (U nection with the Po-cupine. Although our efforts during the past year have not ac- complished what we desired them to do, yet we feel our work has not been in vain. There are many things we might c‘iticise in the attitude of the the since we have been controling it. and we have school toward peper no doubt the school has many criticisms to make about our management. However, as we are leaving you, we do not wish to strike and run, rather that we forget the past end think of the future. The Porcupine is not go- ing to be dropped, on the other hand, we are going to turn it over to members of the school, those of you who are active and energetic and are capable of making a grand success. As this is our final opportunity, we take oc- thank the those casion to various members of the school, especially who have been so faithful in helping to get out our final edition, the aided us on numerous occasions, and lastly the also members of the faculty who have merchants of the town who have cheerfully given us the financial aid necessary to our suc- cess. It is the pen as editors of the Po-cupine, for during not without regret that we l-wv down the time we have acted as such, many pleasant and useful associations have been formed, and we hesitate in leaving such associations. How- ever, the time has come when we must szy “farewell” and wish all luck to the energetic, untiring and capable hands who now take up the Porcupine. “To be an athlete” WU SITU @ hed CUA TAL A TIGES Mat ve bole, ayeht tei iets fare: toa. delay fo) a ohn avlateh mxe aga en evaMRonaie otter at ets ENG) Wien ete MOMSHOWMHOWETIUCH Tslemoyye triacs ae vale bls ion siete sole cen. clege tiene See ietaie tei pebenee meme tar Shem PUOMGISIAVetAy OLISIIAlTC Ve ayo: cits iis cheie othcls Splegs a: elele ree cam tle eet Aeep iar tena ante Olita RUC DAC SMIANV AV OLIIMC Aw cade avineus’ ot tr oqruspatigelsd eis (gst sister Gg aac saee aces oeyar ketene Esther ——— OmMeaeM SC Latalie Meee sol prrsmtae stot mMRS tees sho J, astm lead eae a eee cgae gnes S——— MO MIA email 4 IIT PHESSTOMM A fs wycarenateiean tes clsisye tar} lpi stone «oh ghacenet al mnelateco Reber aa Gert— J——— ‘Toseta dilate “withOut WOT Sut) setlists io wkele swe qvelauidaleliasite bhvlem pete ena Lane te ——————— “Perdepatemwith everybody von every titine 4,0 mauler mic tvaans + sternite peat eiinmes Harry B——— Pep StAUSMALOIMe “CANTY “CELL praeain, ceesceic to Soeer cass RASC PSROES Wola catehet os Uuorty weal heyeraiee eae Elezene B——— SEIN CRM ET.G ” cs corse abode sist alae otemale ste tu smehe wba walle Whesun Set ye rsh Si ole Glycol ae a eames Gert— S— = Menai VLATtIe: MONICH sian saat, ake Sakae, cea euts po eal a rea ene ee John W—— seal O Bika Kets PICUMITES a sat wuss atin s-¢ deers tele eet Gi ocd Salo a ac dery steep fe cue are Edna P———— “Roub san there oysie's sapien. ote ces ot meine. creribdoes cae Non Rierateeabeeto sy eum Jay G—— DMarerStinchyss Deartrr p aae c.f ck alee, AR eae ie ote et ave nici heh Sie Xl Ge Sct oat eaten A ees ean Ruth B— GM EAKe VCATE MOls ERUEM” «iis lara rrden vejsueamone teh aaeatet obs a Seared hee a a ee Sree pane cen Emma — SAO AEA DICTIIGES. fat, at dex end Sealkecey Wom anc eA EL agenee: Reese isis tila, Sane ane eee egestas Ethel A—— TT oO please ute Ollese att DOME bit sn erly oe ta ty eUne ie eck exe. o Ve succo Aistelra aa pieraie tate Te aah ean —————— “MiG OS ieayvatsay £ Ce OUCIS tiny iontegat ft ve Setter eeed eatin stace euro ae eS Ol Sree Win. b= “To exercise the basement piano” eRe a kateh ayia, adel eae Wee shathe heey ance eine ea Sea Frances W——— ETO AD at heealleren lcs).

Sta:ting with a large class—about fifty-five entering in August, and forty-five in January—we have gradually diminished in number to about sixty ; not too small, however, to produce many noted members—congressmen and athletes, especi- ally. The first year was spent in working hard to establish our good reputation in order to make those individuals who were superior to us only in the number of their high school years ashamed of their having called us “green.” Throught the kindness of our biology and physiology teacher, Mr. F-yer, many of us spent an enjoyable time at Dillon’s in May, 1902. A number of our members also attended the trip to Dillon’s this spring. Another ex- cursion took the form of @ pleasant trip to Gross’ grade, where we went to gather wild flowers for the furtherance of ou- botanical in- vestigation. Our strength in the field was not exhibited to any great extent in the Class Field Day of ’0o2, but to make up for this, we surprised all by being victorious in the last Class Field Day. Our athletes are certainly deserving of admira- Hitchcock is the pole-vaulter of the school, and Youker is the coming hammer- tion, thrower; while we have splendid showing of sprintess and hurdlers—Mallory, Jacobs, Wil- son, Rathbone and Smith. Few of our future congressmen have as yet become noted, but the fame of Hitchcock and Miller serve as an indication of what may be expected from us. The second year has found us deep in that awful slough of Despond—Physiology. The cat population of Santa Rosa has become some- what diminished and we are sorry if we have not left a sufficient number: elive to furnish our successors with the corpses necessary in “Undertaker Fryer’s Morgue, room 4, second floor.” The versatility of our class has been well de- monstrated by the rapidity with which it has been able to pass from the dissecting table to the culinary department of this subject. For special information with regard to the effect of various foods upon digestive processes con- sult Joe Purrington, Fred McConnell end Miss Coy. Modesty permits us to recount our virtues, exploits, and attainments no further. We wish, however, that any inte-ested inquirer would re- fer to the faculty—any member of it. see Senn CLASS OF ’06 September, 1902, forty-seven students en- tered the high school for their first time. Since then eight have left. One of these went to an- other school. Xmas there were forty-three entered on the list and since then only three have dropped out. This band of beginners is made up of as good material as has eve- entered the high school, and so far, they show a very good spirit. May 2d the biology classes of the first and second term sent a large representation to Dil- lon’s beach. In athletics they have made a fine start, breeking the first year -ecords of the previous classes. In foot ball they furnished a man and in bas- ket bail, a substitute. ‘Ted ‘esoy eyueg ‘oinzNoWIOF JO pseziM 3} ‘yueqing ioyjny jo swiop{ é 2 PAIS?

Many of the lower class men have become interested and in the next year or two some fine materiel is to be shown. The school has for once been successful in a financial way. There is at the present time something ove- thirty dollars in the treasury, and at no time during the past year has the association been unable to pay its debts. These facts ere due to the almost entirely with members of June, ’03. excellent management which has been are deeply indebted to Mr. John Ross E for his kindness extended to us in se- curing the pictures for this edition.
