And you re- member CI say it with all reverence for your witl the excellent saying of that motley-minded gentleman, Clown Touchstone, concerning the buxom Audrey? A poor virgin, sir, quoth he, with one red and yellow arm about the waist of that apple-cheeked poppet, H an ill-favored thing, sir, but mine own. Here, then, Master Reader, is our book. 'Tis but a small thing, good sooth, yet it is our own, a book of no great value, but our hands and our brains have wrought it. Read it or fling it from youg take it or leave it-what you will. As for us, 'tis our own and we love it. Be it as Dan Chaucer would say, Blameth not me, if that ye chese amiss. He in whose nostrils the scent of youth's purple violets is no longer sweet, who is so fulfilled of crimson roses and lush wall-fruit ripening in the sun that he careth not for the delicate wild-wood fragrance of pale prim- Prologue roses--lo! the youth of that man is a thing cold, dead, shrouded, laid out for burial. Somewhat so runs the quaint old French of Master Hughes de Lissingeaux. And truth it is. If you care not to go with us where the willows are a mist of green along the river bank and kneeling to gather with us the Hrstling violets-well, God rest you merry sir! and so farewell! Where we go are waters blue and gray, silvery ripples where the gusts of April shiver across, trees all a-tiptoe with the wonder of tender lisping leaves, birds singing, birds crooning in nests, birds flying everywhere, and there are our violets, young, new-born in the tangled grasses, youth's purple violets to which we would lead you. If you like not such things turn aside to your dusty streets, your gloomy chambers, your mildewed tomes. Your youth lies drowned at the bottom of the years. But for us is the hey-day of life, for us laughter and song and dance and the sound of piping. You will come with us? Good sir, stick this violet as it were a riband in your cap, here, for a breast-knot, be fair yellow primroses plucked from the jade-green clusters along the banks of that sunny path of dalliance. Gentle reader give us your hand. Youth is a precious thing, a thing of pearl-sheen and cloud and moonlight, impalpable as blue mist of dreams, wrought of magic and wizardry, to be seen only of those who know. And if it please you, we would show you that branch-charmed Druid wood. Come with us and be a child again. Here is the way. -9 PRESENT DAT .SHQRTRIDOE ROBERT .STEVENSON V ep I 0 ' 1 ITTLE more than six months have passed since a prophetic hand tg penned the lines, Shortridge barely half a year hence, will be Q R46 , a very different place from the Shortridge of to-day.' How true! And yet true to a greater extent than the writer perhaps surprise to our log cabin ancestors and it is more than likely 3 that we would come to a better appreciation of our school Q? were we allowed to wonder more at the educational advantages ZS 'W 2 of the early days. But let us trust that we are appreciative. Shortridge High School , has not reached its present greatness in a day nor at a single bound, but has gained it step by step. Most of us have heard the history of the school-its struggle for a start, its varied wanderings, HQ, 6 og!! i 5 , 32555 MTM' realized. Shortridge to-day would undoubtedly be a great hues, 4 f- PRESENT DAT .SHORTRIDOE .. its final home. From the time it became permanently located on the resent site of the old building, it has grown and continued to grow until the need called for an annex. Not content with that, it still grew until advanced educational methods declared, not that we must have another annex, but that the old should become an annex to the new. Thus it happened that the old Underhill residence, once a landmark in 'historic Indianapolis' was razed to the ground and the erection of a new institution of learning begun. A modern building, constructed in accordance with modern ideas, it was completed, practically, in contract time, an unusual occurrence now-a-days. On January 30, l905, some thirteen hundred knowledge seekers entered it for the first time. Everything was new and from senior, sophomore, and junior alike came expressions of admiration. The building from the outside impresses one mostly with its size, three stories being a little out of the ordinary for schools. Though plain in structure, it has a PRESENT DAT .SHGRTRIDOE substantial look and outshines its older sister. From Pennsylvania street, some say the building closely resembles a model American fwhisper it very gentlyj-factory. Others with more impressionistic views trace a similarity to the 'old world Venice, the Bridge of Sighs and Campanile. From the north, the view of the main entrance, with its triple doors, is pleasing. The vestibule, with its stone steps, polished marble sides and green railings, is a refreshing change from the old. The gym is probably the first point of interest. A gymnasium, large and well-equipped, has long been desired, and at last we have it-with hopes for the equipment in the near future. The room is large, one of the largest in this part of the country. The running track, it is hoped, will be finished ere many moons have past. Upon its floor Shortridge stars will have ample opportunity for testing cork. The auditorium, immediately above the gymnasium, is a further advantage of which we may well be proud. It is large and excellently lighted by a circular sky-light. A circle of incandescent lights around, the dome supplemented by several parallel rows provide ample artificial lighting facilities. The hall with balcony has a seating capacity of about sixteen hundred. This is sufficient for assembling the whole school, an impossibility heretofore. The railing around the balcony is ornamented with S shields finished in a bronze-green as is the interior wood-work of the hall. The stage is not large enough for the production of a play, but is sufficient for musical programs,lectures or even a one-act farce. 'Tis said that only from the vertex of the dome can one gain an adequate idea of the general effect, the great size and charming simplicity of the whole. Two laboratories, chemistry and botany are among the very best. The botany laboratory occupies rooms on the second Hoot. The chemistry lab is on the third floor in three bright airy rooms. Beside the two fine laboratory rooms and the quiz room we can boast of one of the best stock rooms in the State. The large balances will be placed in this room as will a few of the smaller balances for the use of the chemistry I pupils. Each laboratory has been equipped with six hoods, so that in the future experiments with such gases as chlorine, hydrogen sulphide and the like may be carried on with perfect safety. These hoods as well as the desks have soapstone tops whose aggregate weight is about eight tons. The laboratories have previously been greatly hampered by lack of space but a total of about five hundred drawers should remedy this. The quiz room is across the hall from the labs and has a well-fitted lecture table. All of the rooms are well lighted and large, and, while not all are in use at present this is no serious draw-back as it leaves room for growth. Most of the rooms are as PRESENT DAT .SHCRTRIDGE yet undecoratcd, but this will be accomplished in time. One has been beautilied-the seniors' room-and 'where one leads others follow. A lunch-room has been inaugurated and should prove a success. Broad stairways, long halls 'with 'rouged' floors, a system of intercommunicating telephones, tinkling recitation bells and others are among the schools many advantages. , Long live Shortridge, present and past: may she ever grow and prosper: and her many advantages be appreciated by all. ,1- , ,Gun 'fT'f g' 4 ,, AL ,iz j T e -7 E ' 'v-':L'if5!' --4 in A- ,,...!-- ,? di -, du lik 'H' ,.?g4 ' I .11-lt--,i4::L-!:, ' '-' x, .,,, vim:'Il':Q', fag , gag,- -1,-f ' - ,mm- ,iiuuQ!1!f!ll:Ae,1' - -Y A Q, - A .,..1 'w1'1 nnl , ... f U ,.. gr - - ' 4---.-V .,-.. mA 1'f :il1l1!i!!!!,c:5 -'Nay'-Q., ,Au E V U ,,n,T,,m:miffi5g1i,iifr3m ,Y 1 , n ew aj., ' ii Li' .e : ,F?Y3cf-:QOL 1 A 9154--i9f5.-ff ' f, -if-,'t ..,Q?

He was a wee i 1'-t'ft? ggvf- little boy, who wore neat black suits of the Lord Fauntleroy E type, with prim little lace collarsg and he lived in a prim, neat little cottage--- yellow, trimmed in white. She lived in a MWVSA Qt little house that reminded one of Christmas and holly, and Q9 good cheer-a red brick with green trimmings. She had a 'f' , 2 j 5 Q? look of happiness, and health, too-a sturdy little figure with ill g V A a round German face and a broad German smile. For she Q W ef iw W'99'wi ' was not the sort of a little girl who has long yellow curls and pale pink frocks and a little white sunbonnet at all. ln fact any one who looked at the ruddy glow burning under the tan on her cheeks would have concluded that her acquaintance with sunbonnets was surely very slight. She wore her hair cropped short, like a boy's, and, although her mother, with praiseworthy persever- ance, fastened a big bow on it each morning to establish her sex beyond any doubt, what mother can be expected to tie a big pink bow on a waving tuft of soft, brown hair more than a dozen times a day? And so she wore little white kilted suits with shiny, black belts, and got them woefully dirty, two of them every day-and she looked just like a boy. And she played happily all day long, taking numerous scoldings for soiling her frocks and getting her face and hands so very dirty, with a few tears and much philosophy of the stoic type. And in the main she was very happy. Then, Louisa had a constant companion. She called her Dadda, perhaps because the name sounded peculiarly musical to her ear, and she played with her all day long. What did Dadda look like? Louisa did not really know, any more thanshe knew how the little girl really looked who came toward her from mother's mirror when she climbed upon a chair and looked into it. But just as that little girl was always the same, even if she would. smile and frown but never speak or come out from that big glass, so doubtless the other little girl, Dadda, although she never came from the land of dreams and things PLATNATEJ which even mother didn't always see, was always much the same in form. Dadda must go everywhere that Louisa went, and Dadda must do everything that Louisa did, mother soon learned that a refusal to grant Daddais requests was fatal. And, like a diplomatic mother, she threatened once to punish Dadda when her own little girl had been naughty. But Louisa's heart-broken wails had been too disconsolate, and she had spent the rest of the afternoon comforting a tear-stained, penitent little girl with a very vivid imagination. It was different with the little boy. He was all alone. Why he should not have had a Dadda, too, l do not know, for he was a fanciful child, with a pale face and a wistful look in his large blue eyes. But he played all alone on his own porch, and, although he was not naturally a restless child, there was an air of inexpressible sadness in his manner, and he seemed, in some vague, indefinable way, to feel that he was forced, by some inexorable power, to endure, and endure unceasingly. His mother's health was not good, so he must be quiet, his father was busy and had no time to entertain him. And he submitted, without a sigh, and played quietly, but rather sadly, on his own porch all alone. But that was before he knew Louisa. There was a little white fence between the two houses, and in one place two or three pickets were gone. One day, while the little boy was sitting on the porch in his little red rocker, rocking as heartily as if his life depended on it-just as children alwa s rock when tired and anxious for amusement-he looked toward this opening in tfie fence. A air of merry brown eyes-big, brown eyes with an alluring invitation in their dark diepths -were looking straight over at him. Below them he caught a glimpse of a very dirty white frock, and, while he was wondering and looking, one grimy, chubby little fist beckoned to him awkwardly. He hesitated but a moment, for, to a little boy who is always just as clean as soap and water can make his pale, white little face, and who always wears hateful black suits because they don't get so dirg'-to such a little boy what could possess more fascination than a dirty white frock an two very, dirty little hands. So he came up to the fence and stood there silent and timid, gazing into the other child's eyes with that open, straightforward gaze which only a child can give or receive. The look was very reassuring, for Louisa's ruddy little face certainl beamed with friendliness, and, after a moment of silence, the little boy ventured a timid: 'l-lullo, little boy!' Louisa could understand English quite well, but to speak it was a very different thing. But she was not a boy, she was sure of that, and so she explained to him kindly but very firmly in her own familiar tongue that he had made a mistake. PLATMATE5 To a child accustomed to hearing only English such a torrent of rolling German was at least terrifying, and the friendship came near terminating there. But Louisa's genial smile saved the day. They were good friends after that. To be sure, they could not carry on a conversation at all, but Louisa would bring out some decks of cards that found a place among her varied playthings, and hour after hour the two children would sit beside a table and match cards, contented with each other's company. Louisa would talk in her animated way, while the little boy listened cheerfully and courteously, understanding never a word. Then Louisa would listen attentively while he prattled innocently to her, and they were both very happy. But one day the little boy did not come. For a long time the little girl waited patiently, but in vain. The next day it was the same, and the next, and for many days after that the little girl wandered restlessly around, making many trips to that opening in the fence to gaze with wistful, hopeless yearning at the window in the little yellow cottage. Mother had told her, in a hushed, sad tone, that that carriage which came so often to the house next door belonged to the doctor, and Louisa, in whose infant mind that word was intimately connected with a certain agreeable confection known as sugar pills, was almost jealous of her little neighbor. But mother's face was very grave, and Louisa was oppressed with all the weight of an incomprehensible mystery. And, like most children who, for the first time in their careless existence, realize that they cannot make others understand, or that there is something which they themselves cannot understand, she stole away to find a corner where she might cry softly for awhile. And after that she did not ask her mother any more questions. But she still watched the little yellow cottage as before, and then one day she noticed, with a heart full of envy, that the little boy had the most beautiful flowers on his door that she had ever seen, more beautiful even than those which father had brought home when it was mother's birthday. And still there was no little boy, and the curtains in the little yellow cottage were closed. The very next day it was that mother wanted her to play all afternoon in the back yard, instead of wandering around in front to look at the little boy's place on the front porch, and mother would not even let her go to the windows when she came into the house. That night her mother told Louisa that the little boy had gone far away, so very far that he would never come back again to be her little neighbor next door. And Louisa listened, wide-eyed and silent. Q PLATMATE5 The next day found her again, driven by a yearning which she could not suppress, standing once more by the opening in the fence. All moming she had wandered around, sadly and restlessly, and now she had come here, to end the struggle and readjust her view of life. She noticed, with a sickening heart, that the pretty flowers had gone from the little boy's door-perhaps the little boy had taken them with him: for she knew now that she would never see them again.- Slowly she was striving to reorganize her world-to go back to the days when she had not known the little boy. And, from those days which seemed so far away, she found herself trying to recall Dadda, the old playmate, Dadda, who had been such a faithful companion in the days before the advent of the little boy. But Dadda, who had never failed to answer before, seemed far away and unreal nowg she seemed to have vanished into that same unfathomable abyss into which the little boy had passed and from which mother said he could never come back. And Louisa, sadly gathering up the dirty rag doll, turned and walked sorrowfully, aimlessly away. 'FP - V V ' - 4, I: ' .

C3 Q NNN Oakly Military Academy was pretty well shaken down into y X routine at the end of the first month of the fall semester, I and St. Clair had had plenty of time to show himself up in ,yi - an his true light. He had entered the second class by special examination, and had seemed at first a pretty good fellow. But as one petty prejudice after another sprang up against him, and asthis snobbishness, due to his father's great wealth, developed, the reaction against him set in, and he was ostracized completely, save from thecompanionship of three. Two of them, who were his equals in family and wealth and his superiors in everything else, tolerated him in a bored kind of way, and knocked him with the other cadets in his absence. The third was the young officer in charge of his section, Brownly by name, and by reputation the most systematically hated personage in the entire institution. By reason of the good effects of his hateful system of espionage, which effectually checked all mischief ere any rumor reached headquarters, he stood in high favor with his superiors as an officer competent to keep his section in good order. As far as was compatible with his tlrlank, ge made St. Clair his boon companion, incidentally bringing more dislike a amst e ca et. g Things were in just this shape, with Brownly and St. Clair hand in glove against the majority of the second class, when Boyd arrived. He was the most po ular fellow in his class, and when his friends learned that the crisis in his father's illness Iliad passed, and tlllaltlhe was to returlrc immediately they hastened to find the time of his arrival, and ave an ovation at t e tram. 8 A few days after his arrival Boyd strolled, during recreation time, down to the edge of the pier. He had noticed the general aversion to St. Clair and honestly pitied him. I-Ialf the class was collected on the pier and float, swapping the summer's experiences, and planning various amusements to come. Near the edge of one of the groups, but entirely apart from it in spirit, stood St. Clairg and Boyd, approaching him for the first time, and following his glance out toward the wind-rufiled lake, remarked, Fine weather for sailing, isn't it? St. Clair turned, and let his eyes follow every detail of his uniform up, from sleeve to collar, from his collar to his chin, as if, said Jones afterward, he'd never ov Q 'ml '- 1, 0 ,J?gz.m 'fl Qin' 5 if- I-,if it ' PZ 2425 X .

Behind Boyd, McLean, his best friend, and most sincere admirer, heard St. Clair's words, and step forward grabbed the latter as he turned away, with the words, 'I No, but I'Il introdiuce Liu with pleasure: Boyd- 'The Cad,' and without more ado pushed him into the e. It was not many hours ere McLean, the identified assailant as Brownly called him, was missing many recreation hours and doing much extra guard dutyg for St. Clair, lacking the honor which sealed the lips of the others, had immediately given Brownly his own revised version of the affair, and received perfect sympathy in return, and thereby were gained two things: A new name for St. Clair, namely, the Puppy, and a new feeling for Brownly, namely-contempt. I-Ienceforth and thereafter, though outwardly angelic in demeanor the cadets occu ied their spare time cudgeling their brains for suitable revenge for McI..ean and Boyd, against Brownly and St. Clair. The long mess room belonging to section two was well lighted and warm, and the wintry wind outside accentuated the solid comfort within. Brownly at the head of the table, could hardly suppress a little feeling of pride at the good form that his cadets showed upon occasions, attributing it, with naive conceit, entirely to his personal training. The young officer, who was somewhat of a dandy, was looking his best to-night, seemingly more immaculate and well groomed than usual: and he smiled condescendingly upon St. Clair, who sat at his right hand. Neither realized how those eaceful cadets could, with the aid of a slight accident, assume the' role of fates, and bring retribution upon them. In the center of the mess-table reposed a huge dish of baked potatoes, and as these were going the rounds, Brownly took occasion to rebuke some cadet for a trifling breach of table discipline. While he spoke, the eyes of all centered by habit and training upon his face. Suddenly the room was plunged into pitch darkness- the electric lights had gone out. A moment of silence, and then a sibilant little whisper ran from mouth to mouthg and if Brownly had had the eyes of a cat he could have seen on the faces so dutifully towards him, a malignant grin. There was a sudden clatter of china and silverware thrown together by hasty movements, a swish of upthrown arms- and then Brownly swore, as a chorus of thuds at his end of the table indicated how well those hands had been aimed at him, their target. Then, as suddenly as they went THE LIGHTS THAT FAILED out, the Iight leaped up, revealing Brownly with his face Iivid with rage and grotes ue with its wealth of the mealy contents of the brown potato skins which decorated no-longer immaculate uniform. With a splutter of anger he roared out 'form ranks' and as' the innocent looking cadets sprang into line, 'All those who threw any missile whatever at me, step one pace forward.' Brownly hardly knew what all they had thrown at him, but he did realize that not a movement broke those monotonous ranks. No allies this timeg he had been in the dark indeed, and with helpless rage he saw that their vengeance was complete.

For the hathorne was blown, and the orchards were in blossom, and in all of the earth, even in sunny Spain, there is no place where the W' sprin air is softer or the fields more fair than in Provence. The land rejoiced and the people thereof, for now was come the season when the lords and the minstrels might wander withersoever they pleased, and when the poor man agai11 could go into the fields, and toil in the summer winds, and eiarn store for winter, and altogether that country seemed a very pleasant place to be awe in. The round, pointed towers of the fortress of the Marquis of Va ueiras showed twinkling grey in among the green, green- hills, and the little white road wound round 4'7-5 2 f' 052: 7w 'DVM' 5' '? v so cc ,,Vv br I . 39,33 ,. , O 1,- 6 - P A soo . me 0 Zggg' ,' X ego eo L Q -i 0er-90 ,,,.,,, IN PRGVENCE each hill and cut it into halves, as it went up one side and down the other. But a short journey away, not so much as half of a league, in a little hollow betwixt two hills there dwelt an ancient peasant and his wife on a small plot that his father, and his father's father, and his father before him, had held, all for the yearly rent of ten broad, silver groats, paid to the Marquis at Michelmastide. Now it befell that betimes this certain fine morning that my lord, the Marquis, had sent one of his pages to this part of the country-side to search for a beagle-hound that had been lost in the greenwood yester-morn when my lord chanced to go a-hawking thither. This young page had the airy ways that very young men are wont to have, but his cheeks were red as the heart of the gillyflower and his lips like unto cherries in June, and his black eyes danced like the jet beads on the holy friar's rosary, so you know that he was a right merry fellow withal, and lacked not spirit of daring. Men hight him Aubanel. He had stop ed to rest at the peasant's cot, and while he sat on the bench outside the door he diug his heels into the earth and hummed a little ditty, which sounded somewhat in this wise: ' 'When tender leafage doth appear, When vemal meads grow gay with flowers, And aye with singing loud and clear The nightingale fulfills the hours, l joy in him and joy in every flower And in myself, and in my ladye more. For when joys do inlclose me and invest My joy in her transcendeth all the rest. He had heard a gleeman chant it only that morning as the lady Yvette, daughter to the Marquis, passed by, and she had blushed, and dropped a rose as if by chance, and then gone on. The page Aubanel bare an ancient grudge against this same troubadour, Gui d'Uisel, because, long ago, Gui had roundly boxed his ears for singing a chanson so loudly that it awakened the troubadour from a refreshing nap. And still this grudge rankled sore within him. But while he was turning over pebbles with his heels and musing many thoughts in his mind of the aforesaid insult, of the long walk to the chateau, of the still recreant beagle, which, mayhap, was home before him, he perceived the old peasant approaching, filled with woe and making great dole. For now he would cry out 'alack and alas, and now he would smite his thigh with his palm, and call on the blessed saints, and weep. Thereat the page yawned somewhat and queried of the old IN PROVENCE man the cause of his dolor, whereupon he stopped lamenting and told of it. How it chanced a short while back, that a certain troubadour, Gui d'Uisel, of high favour with the Marquis, had come possessed, through heritage, of the parcel of land neighboring to the peasant's vale, and that now this troubadour desired the little valley for his own estate, fsuch are the grasping ways of menj, and that he, relying on his standing with my lord, had caused a writ to be served upon the peasant. This set forth, that, whereas the peasant had of late felled five goodly yew-trees off the Marquis' ground, in order to make for himself an hostel for his stock, he had forfeited the lease of the land, and must remove. And that is why the old man, yclept Laurent, did lament so woefully, for he knew right well that the great troubadour would soon have the pleasant dale for his very own. But the page straightened up, and his black eyes danced as motes in the sunlight, for l ween that he saw a chance to repay the haughty Gui for that aforetime box on the ear. nl-low now, old man, quoth he, stint thy bewailings and fare to our gracious lord, the Marquis, bearing thy deed of tenure, and l trow right well thou wilt have redress. So saying, he quaffed a drink of clear brook water from a cup of cornel wood, and betook his way on the high-road towards the castle. And hey! but that was a morning like that of the saints in Paradise, for the sun shone blithelyg warmly, but not too warmg only where the little road wound into the glades of the woodland the sun came not. Here was cool, green shadow, and the morning's dew still wet on the leaves, and here a hare's track in the soft dry roadway, and there a little flat line that marked where a serpent had crossedg and one might hear the hare farther and farther off amid the basky foliage, but the serpent had fled and hidden away. So Aubanel fared onwards, thinking his own thoughts and seeming pleased withal, and presently he came under the high round towers of Castle Vaqueiras and went within. And oh! it was a wonderous castle, so fine with spoil of Turk and Saracen, and Moor and Greek that it would take from all Hallow's eve to All Souls' day to tell of it. But the page Aubanel heeded not the broidered arras, nor cloth of gold, nor Monkish missals, but went straight and found his master's beagle-hound already returned, tired and footsore, to his rightful kennel. So he sought out the Marquis and told him of his morning's search and of the writ against the poor peasant, and that it was the trou- badour who had caused the writ to be served. Now it had chanced that my lord Mar uis had seen my lady, his daughter, smile often upon the troubadour, and had heard the songs sung in return, and whereas he had once been fond of him of Uisel, he now IN PRQVENCE, hated him, for a troubadour is not a likely candidate for the hand of a noble lady. He' wist that a wandering minstrel should not gain the peasant's ancient holding. So it happened, that, when the day began to slope towards the aftemoon, the Marquis was playing at bowls, with sundry of his gentlemen, within a little court, all paved with grass so smooth that my lady m' ht dance thereon. Hither there came a waiting gentleman, and behind him apace followed the ancient peasant, Laurent. He bore his round hat in his hand, and a small black box, and blinked like the night owl as he emerged from the shadowy door. Bowing stiffly first to right and then to left he made obeisance to the Marquis, who asked him what he would. The Marquis was clad all in blue deer's-leather, with bosses of gold, and he looked so majestic that Laurent stood much in awe of him and fixed his gaze on a certain golden boss on my lord's surcoat. Then with many haltings he told his tale as you know it already. Thus the Marquis heard all the tale and he saw the old, old lease which was in the black box, and being much wrought up, declared it were not forfeit if live more yew-trees had been felled. Thereupon he inscribed and sealed an order commanding Gui d'Uisel to pay unto the peasant a fee of an hundred golden byzants, for injuries attempted. Altogether it rejoiced greatly both the Marquis and the page to be able thus to pay back old scores against the scornful troubadour. The morn of the next day there were many things transpirin in the village of Yvetot which lay near the cot of Laurent. For in the early sunlight thither came the great troubadour riding upon a milk-white palfry, together with certain companions, and thither also came the page Aubanel, for to see what he might see. And the troubadour was dressed all in cloth of the hue of the heart of the musk-rose, trimmed with dainty minnevair, and all so fine and light that I wist it was more suited to a court of love than to riding a saddle through the open country. But he recked not of this, for he was strong in his pride, rejoicing in 'the thought of his prowess in song, and of his favour at the Marquis' court, and of the goodly valley that was soon to be part of his own estate. So shortly he rode up to where the peasant stood under the bush by the inn yard, and smiled on him and spake him fair and pleasantly, as is the custom of those who have the might on their side. And perhaps thou, never sawest such unlikeness so near together, for the troubadour, clad in holiday mantle, upon a steed like Pegasus for whiteness, smiled a hard, unlovely smile, upon the toil-worn Laurent. He, in his turn, fingered a while of his leathem jerkin, and made as though he would beseech the troubadour for mercy, saying that he was old and so was Ursela IN PRCVENCE his wife, and both had but few more years on God's green earthg and he prayed him to let him live on in the house of his fathers. But Gui d'Uisel brake in roughly, demanding the forfeited lease of the good Marquis' ground, holding out his hand to take it. Then Laurent stra' htened somewhat and held up his white head and answered that he would not yield a liiade of grass off his holding. So the page, skilled somewhat in arts of learning, read aloud in mighty tones the terms of the writ which my lord had given Laurent yestere'en, showing the pendant seal of the marquisate. When the great troubadour heard that he must pay an hundred byzants out of his own store, he grew most haughty, and bit his lips so that the marks of his teeth showed white against the blood risen in his face, but he dared not disobey that seal. He looked at those companions who had come with him, and saw that they smiled somewhat, but still he drew forth a broidered pouch and therefrom counted an hundred round hard byzants, which he dropped in the roadway at the goodman's feet. Then, giving spurs to his horse he turned him and galloped back toward Vaqueiras. Thereupon all the village people went to the house in the woods, in the valley where Laurent had lived for many years, and his fathers before him, and there was feasting there like on a Saint's clay, with honey and wassail bread, and apricots dried in last summer's sunshine, all washed down with the sweet red wine of Provence. Thither the page Aubanel followed them and joyed in their rustic revels, and he drank again from the cornel cup, of the water of the cold brown brook, and presentl towards the even, he went away, and as he trod on the leaves in the greenwood this old melody came into his mind and he chanted it happily, in ancient Provence: A 'By a lone and leafy brake I did on my way A sad shepherd overtake Who in grief did say- 'Love, alaok for me And the shafts of calunmy For my ladye Sorrows evermoe Which doth give me woe.' mg Only the rest of the ballad was lost in the still even air, as he fared farther and farther away.

HE touched the old walls reverently and her eyes eagerly scanned each object in the room: the old fashioned pictures, worn furniture and faded carpets. ln one corner, stood a piano, scarred with long years of service. She seated herself upon the rickety stool and with caressing fingers, played the old twilight melodies. The keys responded to her touch as the heartstrings of a friend. The happy voices without were as a faint echo of bygone days. Memories crowded thick about her, memories of the time when she, as a child, wove fairy tales from the patterns on the walls and carpet, clasped in hers the hands of bright faced children as they stepped to the tune of a nursery song, and when the soft voice of a mother lulled, into forgetfulness, her childish sorrows. The sound of her name broke the revery and with aching heart, she started to obey the summons. lt was home and she was leaving it. The sunbeams, glinting through the window, had summoned her to brighter lands, the stars had lightened paths of glory, breezes whispered to her words of fame. The narrow walls oppressed her. Beyond lay fields of action where she might gain renown. She had felt ashamed of the old fashioned furniture and quaint portraits on the walls. Her music-loving soul had longed for the fuller vibrations of a new piano. Now they were as loved ones whom she might never see again: and the thought that she had wronged them dimmed the bright promise of the future.

Now the pencil was wont to write up all of the things which they saw in their rambles-and the smile beamed upon them. And then those sage remarks of the pencil would be printed in the great paper, and the smile beamed upon them. And the students who read the paper came to be familiar with the boy, and with pencil, and with the smile-and the smile beamed upon them. Now it came to pass in that year that they were holding a great senior election to elect a president. Now the boy, and the pencil and the smile went to this great election. And it came to pass that someone said of the boy, Let us make him our president'-and the smile eamed upon him. Then they voted, and it so happened that the most of them voted for the boy, and that they made him their president. And the smile beamed upon them, and is beaming on them now.

This was my usual program for summer evenings and was the Iuxury that came with that season of the year. I do not think that I err in caIIing it a Iuxury. What eIse can it be to lie on one's back and swing under arching trees, to watch the moon cIimb from star to star and Iet one's thoughts run riot, while some of the glory of the flrmament enters into one's souI? The scent ofthe honeysuckie IiIIed the night air, and the odor ofthe IVIarechaI NeiIs was intoxicating. Not far away the camp-fire of the Mexicans cast Iurid shadows on fences and ranch-houses, whiIe crouched around it were the 'mujeras and T niF1os. From that Iocality came the tinkling notes of a guitar, and the Iigures around the Iire swayed with the motion of the music as the tones of La GoIondrina were wafted over the prairie. One by one the voices took up the song until the air seemed heavy with sadness, as, in the minor tone which is characteristic of their race, they brooded over the words: I Deje' tambien mi patria idolatrada, Esa mansion que me miro' nacer, Mi vida es hoy errante y angustiada, I yo no puedo a' mi mansion voIver. They were dreaming then of their 'patria idoIatradag their thou hts were with the past. And mine--P I started. I too had been dreaming, and the sew had begun to faII. I lifted the sieeping kitten, roIIed from the hammock, and stood rubbing my eyes. The camp-fire was getting low and the figures which were around it had vanished. The guitar had ceased to echo its sad refraing but overhead a mocking-bird was singing softly, and the music of the song must have Iingered with me, for he seemed to sing, I yo no puedo a' mi mansion voIver. vi omven. eave ea tatistome eo , 'W I ' I I th I nd h b I ved TChiIcIren.

The great mystery of the stars, or what lies beyond them, blends with the perfume of the flowers. Your throat cannot voice the song that sings itself through your soul. 5 33 A STUDY IN SANSCRIT ORESTES H. CALDWELL Ql3d? . f' W? T was Iate one black foggy night when I returned to our Baker 'KQLSZZIQ I street apartments and found Sherlock Holmes seated in the gigggi 2 ' ' picturesque pose he had leamed from William Gillette, the . a V outline of his dolichocephalic skull and well-marked, supra- ,gif Y 0 orbital development making a striking picture in the ruddy ski ' glare of the steam radiator. ,RQ Egnggg' Pray, be seated, Doctor, said he, you will find the I Qiiggl tobacco there on top of the coal-box in the toe of my slipper. 5' 1 Wwe Sherlock Holmes, the great detective, was puzzled. CI observed this much from the many little piles of tobacco ash carefully distributed over the sitting-room carpet., He held in his hand a curious document, cgossed by a number of black Iines and in the little squares so formed were strange wor s. 'Please pass the cocaine bottle, Watson, he said as he handed me the paper Evhich Isad been absorbing his attention. Well, what do you make of that, my dear e ow? 'Looks like a ame of parchesi, I ventured. 'Pretty good for you, Watson, answered Holmes, eating a handful of cocaine tablets with gusto. You're growing steadily better. 'Then can it be a map of HaughviIIe? I questioned. No, my dear fellow, for I have come to the conclusion that it is the time-table of the Trans-Siberian railroad, written in Chinese. There was a note of triumph in the voice of the master of observation and deduction and he turned to me with the air of a man who has solved a diflicult problem, And now for recreation. Alberti plays at the 'music hall to-night. What's that little piece he bows so beautifully? Tra-tra-Ia, tra-Ia, and Holmes' Iong thin white fingers waved like so many antenna-: to the time of his imaginary music. just as we were about to leave, a four-wheeler dashed up to the door and Lestrade of Scotland Yard entered the room. Holmes tossed him the piece of paper. 'WeII, Lestrade, with your usual happy mixture of cunning and audacity, what do you make of that? The professional detective scrutinized it closely for ten seconds. A .ITUDT IN SANSCRIT Oh, Mr. Holmes, this is easy. Permit me to read aloud this cahlegram in to-day's Times. It is headed- FOUR BOYS GO INSANE!! TRY TO MASTER STUDY SCHEDULE-SHOCKING AFFAIR IN INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL! Holmes looked bored. 'I fail to see what interest that has for me, he answered Ianguidly as he removed his hypodermic syringe from its chamois case. 'The connection is obvious, shouted the man from Scotland Yard. Your game of parchesi, your map of Haughville, your Chinese puzzle, your Russian time-table are all nothing more or less than the study schedule of the Shortridge High School, over which four persons have already gone insane, and both of you were growing daft. The problem presents no difliculties. Why even Dupin could have solved that! Holmes flushed violently at the one brilliant stroke of his professional rival and I held myself in readiness to prevent him from doing any violence in case he considered the injury to his reputation sufficient to warrant his kicking Lestrade down the stairs. When Lestrade had departed, chuckling, Holmes turned to me. 'Watson, I will thank you to look up my file under S and hand me the papers of the interesting case, 'How the Senior Class was Flimmed, or In-tosca-cated E.leonora.' I want to rest my powers on something easy.

Abel was destined to stand behind an army and command, but fate had failed to provide the armyg hence his many inglorious defeats. His chief enemies were his father, Brigham Young, so named on account of the great number of his wives: and his brother, Cain, who received this nomenclature on account of his murderous tendencies. - After Abel had sustained the loss of one eye, the beauty of his comb, and all but one of his long white tailfeathers, at their hands, or rather their spurs, he adopted the somewhat distorted motto, When there is a fight, run away, and you will live to fight another day. But l will say in his defense, that while his brother's spurs were the finest in that part of the country, his were entirely lacking. So when he perceived that his enemies were disposed to be illnatured, he sought safety outside the chicken yard. But here he met a more dangerous foe in the form of the household dog. Coed, barking fiercely, would send the cackling general with undignified haste into the woods that bordered the farm. Finally he made his permanent abode there. But one day there came a complete revolution of fortune. An old hen came off her nest with a brood of guineas. These guineas took a strong fancy to the woods. The hen was too big to pass through the holes of the fence and could not fly over because her wings had been clipped. Her loud scolding attracted the lonely hermit.

Taking them under his sheltering but somewhat dilapidated wing he lead the guineas into the heart of the woods, while the hen vainly bewailed the loss of her offspring. Here, under the damp, decayed leaves, worms and grubs were plentiful. Abel was no longer compelled to subsist upon the crumbs left by his greedy relatives. He grew fat and his one bedraggled tail feather was superseded by a tuft of white that in time became one of the finest ornaments possessed by any cock of the Perkins farm. The guineas grew with wonderful rapidity. It was with great pride that he reviewed them as, in the evening, outlined against the sunset, they perched in a long row upon the rail fence. Winter came on and Abel, remembering the warmth of the chicken coop, ventured back to the scene of his many defeats, with his protegees closely following. He flapped his wings and alighted in the hostile grounds. Immediately he was assailed by the enemy. The guineas stood .still long enough to take in the situation, then, en masse, swooped down upon the tormentors of their benefactor. Who does not know the fighting ability of a guinea? Feathers flew in all directions. The confusion was so great that it brought the whole household to the scene. The young owner of Abel had the satisfaction of seeing the complete subjugation of Cain and Brigham Young and of seeing their followers bow and scrape before his pet as lord and master of the barnyard. GNEQOF l'1AMl IT'.SgSTORlE.S WILNA lanousn A 705 Q 'U 'MFS1 AMMY is a typical old darkey woman from the far South, j . W 2' . . . . . up 3' SV' full of stories of plantation life, and with a quamt way of her j af own in telling them. So when she appeared one day with ' :R -wk her grey wool decorously covered with a wig of kinky 1. ' Q . I black, and answered Mother s questions with the remarkable W xi statement of 'Lord bress your soul, honey, that yaller gal Q t f l l down Souf done fixed me so's l's just natchally bound for to N- l Mwx ke f , hpve to Sic? somethin' wif my ole haide, we young folks all ' 3' ' c amore or e story. nwell, honies, she began, closing her eyes and pursing up her lips, 'when l was a gal l didn't hev' to work in the fields, fer old Missus was mighty partial to some of us likely gals, and done kept us in the big house to wait on her and the lil' Missus. Over on the next plantation was some of the meanest niggers you ever see'd, and 'mongst 'em was a yellow gal who hated me like pizen . Here Mammy chuckled, then went on, 'You see l done had the longest and bushiest hair of any of the gals around, and this yere yallow gal was pow'ful jealous, pow'ful jealous! An' so one day when we met, she sez to me, 'How come yo' hair aint looking so nice no mo,'-it seems so daide like.' An' l sez, 'l dunno,' an' then she sez, 'Ef you all'll come over to-night I'll give you some of my ole Missus' ile and fix it fer you.' An' I said l would, and thet night I slipped over thar, an' she done greased ma haide wif some funny-smelling stuff and fixed ma hair in a dozen little -plaits befo' I knowed it. Then she tells me l aint to try to comb it fo' four days at least, and sends me off home a thinking how fine m' hair would be b then. I tol' the ole Missus, 'case I knowed she'd make me comb m' haide, if she didiift know, an' she laffed and called me a proud nigger.' On the fo'th day, l couldn't stand to wait no, longer, and thet afternoon when we all went to put on our clean aprons, l went up to ma little room in the back of the big house and started in to take down them plaits. The fust one l pulled at, come right off in -ma hand, an' when I let out an awful screech, another gal come running and tried to help me, but every last one of those pesky little braids done come right off when we teched 'em. An' when we wuz thru, I was most as bald as the old Co'nel, an' scair't to deaf. They done licked thet yaller gal for pizening ma hair, but it didn't do no good, for every year in thet very season, ma ole wool just comes out the same as it did that t'other day, an' l'm just natchally 'bleeged to cover up ma ole head whar my ban'danner don't hide it, and Mammy opened her eyes and got up with a final There, child, you jist see how mean that yaller gal could be.

THE FQGTBALL TEAM Q5 HE. season of 1904 was productive of no great surprises in i ivory football. Supporters of the blue and white expected a ',r W 1 3 winning team and showed no hesitancy in expressing claims ,Q it to superiority. On account of the late opening of school gw X4 all nh, and the early opening of the football year, Captain Walter .Ft Gipe called the first practice September the 'l2th. Walter 'li , j 6,323 S. Railsback, of Indiana, had been secured for coach, ll W QW and at that practice, outlined the policy to be pursued , 'ilu wQh'wl'L' by him during the season. The candidates for the team, while being rather light and inexperienced, were enthusiastic and worked in a manner that promised success. . On September l7th, a practice game was played with Carmel High School which THE .FCOTBALL TEAM resulted in a score of I2-0 in favor of Shortridge. Few end runs were tried, and the touchdowns were made by 'slow but sure'l line bucking. The next Saturday the team played Westheld High School and won 34-0. The team-work was vastly improved, and but for a wet field, the score would have been much larger. Our first defeat came on October lst through the hands of the Indiana Medical College, score II-O. The showing made by our team in that game, however, was satisfactory, as the Medics were heavier and more experienced than our boys. A game had been scheduled on October the 8th with Franklin College, but as that team disbanded, it was declared off, and the afternoon spent in hard practice. On October the l5th, the team played Sheridan High School for the cham ionship of the State. Shortridge won, 23-IZ, in a fiercely contested game and left no ciioubt as to her championship right. The game with Rose Polytechnic was one of the most bitterly contested of the season. Every man played his best and won for us, l2-5. ' On the 29th of October the Louisville Manual Training High School team came to Indianapolis prepared to 'clean up, but went away sadly disappointed. ' Shortridge won 30-0 in two short halves and showed her superiority in every branch of the game. Immediately following the Louisville game, Coach Railsback announced that as business called him away from the City he would be forced to resign. The team was sorry to lose him, as he had been an efficient coach, but was fortunate in securing in his stead, Kenneth W. Brewer, who had coached the famous l903 team. The next game was our Waterloo. Over-confident, we journeyed down to Louisville to beat their Male High School team, but did not succeed in our intentions. ln fact we were defeated by the largest score that had been nchalked up against an S. H. S. football team in three years: 22-0. This defeat was of real benefit to the team, however, since it awakened them to the fact that they were not invincible. No more games were played until Thanksgiving, but the time was spent in much hard practice. The largest crowd ever in Washington Park saw Shortridge decisively defeat Manual by a score of 30-4 on Thanksgiving day. Eight thousand lusty-lunged spectators alternately cheered and watched the two teams fight one of the hardest battles in their history. The skill of that Shortridge team and the pluck of that Manual team will long be remembered by the spectators as furnishing one of the best contests THE FOQTBALL TEAM X of high-school football ever seen in the West. , In the first half, our boys did, not play their best, only making two touchdowns, but in the second half, they warmed up and secured three touchdowns by machine-like play. The superior physical condition of theishortridge players was shown by the difference in time taken out by the two teams. When such perfect team work and such determined spirit are shown as were shown in the Manual game, it is well nigh impossible to pick out the player whose work was stronger than the rest. However, mention should be made of the work of Captain Gipe. Absolutely untiring in his efforts to make the season's record a success, he was probably one of the best captains ever in Shortridge. The following men played in the Thanksgiving game and won their Sz Captain Gipe, Eaton, Harrell, Lawrence, Cormer, Leathers, Patton, McKinney, Schoen, Buser, Holloway, Jewett, Scott, and Hughes. Mention should he made of the good work of the second team. Under the leadership of David Allerdice, who will be captain of the '05 varsity, the seconds didlvaliantly and gave the first team their much needed practice. Q Q Q THE .SENIORKS LAMENT ll kSTUDY, study, 'study'-that's all we hear all day. Study, study, study, that's what our teachers say. We go to school at eight o'clock and leave at half-past twelve, And through the long bright aftemoon in stupid books we delve. We cram our heads with Latin, and Bacon's Essays dry, And read in horrid Physics books the wherefore and the why. We study all the evening and, with our might and main, We try to get our lessons, 'till we almost go insane: And then our teachers calmly say: 'Although you've done your best, We think it would be wiser, if you took a final test. TRA CK TEAM CORNELIUS E. HOLLGWAT i , , ls if f . F' XIX tgs.'+a Q C, f tc . ll f awk? 4 Q,-cmtatsinwlkf HE Track Team of l904 was probably the most successful one that the school ever produced. The veterans, Joseph and Cline in the sprintsg Captain Doudican, Patton, Steep, and Saltmarsh in the longer runsg Lilly in the hurdlesg and Conner in the weight events: these formed a nucleus which promised much for the year. Under the management of Captain Frank Doudican and Manager Edgar T. Forsythe, the squad was gradually developed into the splendid all-round team which tied Manual 63-63. Cady Martin of Indiana was secured for coach, and while he was unable to be with the team much of the time, his services were of great value. TRACK TEAM For the first time in its history the track team had more than one important out-of-town meet. Too much praise cannot be given Manager Forsythe for the excellent schedule he arranged, and for the way he looked after the team's interest. He was unanimously voted as being one of the most popular men who ever managed a Shortridge team. But one indoor meet was held, that with Bloomington High School, March llth, Bloomington winning by a small per cent. This meet developed some very promising material and showed what we could expect of the team. The first out-door meet was held with the Sheridan High School at Sheridan May 7th, Shortridge being defeated 56-36. This meet was not of much importance in sizing up the team as several of our best men were ineligible at this time. On May I4th the Indiana interscholastic Meet was held at Bloomington under the management of Indiana University. With only six men entered, Shortridge made a very good showing, securing fourth place. The second, third, and fourth schools in this meet were very closely bunched, being only one or two points apart. Russell joseph's spectacular finish in the 220 was the feature of the day, he winning only by inches. George Steep showed that he could be depended upon by winning the mile run easily. The next meet was held at Louisville, May Zlst, under the auspices of the Louisville High Schools. Shortridge secured third place in this meet, Doudican, Joseph, Steep and Patton all contributing to our success. This was the last meet held before the 'big' one. It may as well be said here that no track team was ever so royally entertained as the '04 one was. At all places, our hosts did all they could to make us enjoy ourselves, and the track team wishes to thank them all most sincerely. The meet with Manual was held May 28th at the State Fair Grounds, and for the first time in the athletic history of the two schools, Shortrid e tied Manual in track athletics. Our boys broke several records, the most notabfe being that of Joseph running the 220 in 21 4-5 seconds. Patton and Steep also broke records in their respective runs. Success was certainly ours, and from the time when joseph, Cline, and Doudican ran first, second and third in the fifty until 'Maggie' McLaughlin tied the score by winning the toss off for third place in the discus hurl, a sanguine feeling was shown by our rooters, for the boys ran and jumped as they never had before. ' Too much praise can not be given Frank Doudican for his ability in handling the team. He was certainly one of the hardest working captains that Shortridge has ever had. Doudican, Joseph, Cline, Patton, Steep, Lilly, Palmer, Conner, Bosson, Dewees, McLaughlin, and Merrill won their initial, the last four for the first time.

But it is safe to say that the team of i904-05 ,K A' not only equalled the previous record but practically surpassed 5.049 X4 Em. ' Q5 it, as there were many more obstacles to overcome. The :if season did not open very auspiciouslyg Captain Margaret 'J fy QQ9, 3 Newcomb and Emily Taggart were the only veterans to ll Q W QW remain in school. Grave doubts were entertained at lirst as 's f M wgml' ' ' to whether the team would even be self-supporting, but these were soon dispelled b its victories. All men were debarred from watching the game except the officials git the first game there were nineteen oflicialsj, but the girls of the school turned out nobly and many times cheered the team to victory. Earl Riddle, '03, was secured for coach and helped greatly in perfecting a GIRLS' BASKET BALL strong team. The first game was played December 3lst with the Alumni, which was practically the l903 team. The game was characterized by hard and fast playing, and was only won by the Alumni-I0-I l-after a sensational finish. On january l7th the first of a series of games with Butler College was won b our girls by a score of I I-l. Our team clearly outclassed Butler in team work andy won the game on its merits. The second team also beat the Butler' 'seconds' I7-2. The next game, which was played with the Covington High School at the German House 'gym' january 27th, resulted in Shortridge winning Zl-2. The 'seconds' beat the Seniors 20-l the same afternoon. On February 4 our girls defeated Crawfordsville High School 8-4 in what was probably the hardest and roughest game of the season. This practically secured the championship of the state as both Crawfordsville and Covington had strong teams. The last game with Butler was played February l8th and our team won I9-6. At the end of the first half the score stood 6-6, but in the second half Shortridge took a brace and gradually drew away. The Butler 'seconds' were defeated by our second team I2-3. On March l5th the first game with the German House team was played and resulted in a tie. Fifteen minutes overtime was played. Referee Hardin then called the game, as many of the girls were exhausted. The last game of the season was played with the German House, March 25th, and resulted in our girls losing for the first time by a score of I2-0. The success of this year's team was greatly due 'to their swift team work which was developed by Coach Riddle and Captain Newcomb. A great deal of credit must be given Margaret Newcomb for the wonderful team she 'turned out.' Her playing was also very good. For the last five years Miss Laura Donnan has been manager of the girls' basket ball team. In that time she has shown such attention to her work and such devotion to the irls that she has endeared herself to the hearts of them all. The following girls played in the match games: Margaret Newcomb, Ethyl Hutchinson, Helen Thomas, Emily Taggart, Charlotte Carter, Margaret Schofield, Blanche Stillson, and Edith Brown. The script 'S' will probably be given the first six named. A CONSOLATION Socrates was about to drink the cup of hemlock.

The inflamed and swollen floor had been repaired and was in a splendid condition, while the committees, after much tribulation, had succeeded in installing a fine system of arc and incandescent lights in the gymnasium, which they had decorated in a ve pretty manner. The Straw- berry Patch, under the care of some of the girls, was a gifleasant place to rest one's bones, as it was adorned in a novel and attractive way with huge red strawberries and lights among green foliage. The sandwich dispensary was japaneseg the candy booth, yellow lattice with electric-lighted daffodils, and the punch booth a canopy of the class colors. These life-saving-stations for the exhausted were highly appreciated, both by the aforesaid exhausted and by the treasurer, when he came round to collect the gains. All in all, the class cleared about two hundred dollars from the affair.

Of the personalities of the senators, the silver-tongued Clapp fSamuel Taylor, has won the praises of every visitor to the gallery by his oratorical powers. The speeches presented by the serious and diminutive Mccomas fRichard Simpson, show profundity of thought and preparation. The bespectacled countenance of Senator Clay fRoger Wallacej, the excitable leader of the minority, has twice gleamed across the president's desk, as has the top of the head of tiny Pritchard CS:-im Trotck 1, who seems to take the august body rather patemally. The fair Senator Dolliver fhllae Lenantinej is the first of the unconditional supporters of Woman's Suffrage, now and forever, in several years to hold oflice. The W. Randolph Hearst of the S. H. S. Senate, Wetmore fE.arl Burgessl, tried a short and original path to the president's chair and landed-in the 'mud. Senator Tillman fBloor Schleppyj assumed picturesque poses all the year. Senator McLaurin Uake Kiserj, the stormy petrel of chronic disagreement, Rawlins fHerb Hymanj, the kindergarten philosopher, smiling Allison fRay Kiserj, and pompous little Fairbanks fl..ouis Segarj, all formed a flock of small vultures who took great delight in picking any bill to pieces. Nor would the Senate be complete without the rich voice of Senator Dawes fChester Jewettj, the persuasive words of Senator Black- burn fWinfred Holtonr, the stringent tones, of Senator Deboe fAlfonzo jacksorg, the soft blue eyes and me low warble of Beveridge flVIerritt Pottery, and the han some Burroughs fWaldo Wiestj. l-s .s?f ' S- '-' He - - - hep - - hep - hep - hep!

The Monday Echo with its famous galaxy of Civil stars has been headed by Richard Simpson. A genuine little philosopher himself, his editorial and other pages have always shown serious thought with an occasional dash of droll humor, all couched in remarkable purity of English. Probably the issue which has been most uniformly opular with the student body is Norman Cook's Tuesday edition. its witty, spicy lbcals, timely knocks and withering roasts pleased everyone. The scientific tastes of Editor Stevenson of Wednesday have been evident from his extensive quotations from the scientific joumals. The Thursday Echo has retumed to its old-time excellence under Wmfred Holton, who slew Tommy, stopped worrying about the janitor's drinking water and trying to reform the school, and set to work to please his readers by giving them the right sort of stuff. Otis Calvin has made a specialty of bright and well-drawn fsave onelj cartoons in his Friday Echo and has dedicated his third page to the encouragement of youthful short-story writers. THE SDUTHERN TRIP MXN? T was a jolly, south-bound crowd that pulled out of the station F 0, Q one bright day in the latter part of April. lf the old saying, 'the more, the merrier, is true, we surely had cause to be merry, for we were two hundred sixty-five. It seemed a K dream rather than a reality to think that we were starting on QW' a trip which was to take us many miles from home, and et go,o were to have most of our friends with us,'but as we travelled pri and sahv: the miniybbeautiss and wonders of the South, we et sure t t it cou e no ream. TVN The first stop made was at Knoxville. Although we remained there but a short time, most of the party got at least a bird's eye view of the town, and likewise something to eat. We lunched at the Battery Park Hotel, at Asheville, the popular mountain resort. After lunch 'we all' drove to Biltmore to gaze with wonder upon the palatial home of Mr. Vanderbilt. We spent the night at Columbia and started on early the next morning for Savannah, one of the most interest- ing places visited, because it was so trul Sothen. From Savannah we traveled on to St. Augustine, an old, old place, and' almost tropical in some of its plant growth. 'We all' reluctantly left this quaint little city for Jacksonville. Our visit here was rather lengthy and interesting. It included, among many other thin s, a delightful trip on the St. John. This river is not narrow, as many had supposei but a very broad stream whose banks were at times lost to sight. The most of the following day was spent on the train. We made a short stop at Montgomery, where we visited the capitol. We spent the night at Birmingham in a large hotel that resembled our North- ern ones. Before starting for Chattanooga the next morning, we made a tour of Birmingham in special cars. On arriving at Chattanooga we took the incline for Look- out Mountain, where we were treated royally.

Ri-'ft 536 JN mg, WENTY-FIVE years ago in those good old days of well- ? H., ,F rounded educations, astronomy was taught in the Indianapolis Ekgxlflfsu fl V, High School, Interest in the science became so general that 6 S31 at the suggestion of his brother, then teacher of science, a QW fifhptlph philanthropic citizen, Mr. Stoughton Fletcher, presented the :fp ifgiqa school with a three-inch telescope. Gradually, however, p if y' j 5 209, ? enthusiasm waned and for the past decade, the glass with its A U QV polished brass mountings has been hidden away on a dust- ,N-, cm C:-3x GW.. - - - ' ' a covered shelf m the physics lab., to be withdrawn once or twice a year for post-mortem before the class in optics. Noting this state of affairs, one or 'two fellows who take a healthy interest in all of the wonders reat Nature presents, determined to try a peek at the twinklers. Prof. Wade, himself an enthusiastic amateur, kindly consented to be present and help aim the tube-and thus the Astronomy Club, those spirits incarnate of the frigid, starry night, busy spectres of dark alleys and shiverers of the roof-tops-the Astronomy Club came into bein . The first meeting of the Abberated Order of Copernicus was held in the alley hack of school. There were certain drawbacks to this even. The neighboring house- holders took them for a gang of burglars, silently planning to blow up the neighborhood. Passers-by thought the telescope was a gatling gun. Then, too, for overhead stars it was necessary to lie flat on our backs in the street, deep in starland-and the gutter. Next they tried to make little ice-cream freezers out of themselves up on the roof. The ingenuity of Mr. Wade produced a wonderful and fearful equatorial mounting out of a broken stool, a soap-box, two bricks and the trap-door cover. Standing on the peak of the roof it was a pleasant subject for thought, whether to roll off into Pennsyl- vania street or the court-yard. When in their most favorable positions during the year, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and Mars were inspected face to face. The glories of the winter skies, Orion and the THE ASTRQNGIVIT CLUB Mystery of his Sword, the Pleiades, Aldebaran, Sirius and Ca ella with the numberless interesting doubles and star-clusters were admired. And the calm beauties of the spring constellations set with Arcturus, Regulus, Spica and Antares were attractive targets for the optic tube. THE ASTRGNCIVIT CLUB NCE the had a gazers' club, but for gazing--there's the rub, For the cold nights didn't make them feel so gay. So they shivered and they shook, And longed for a warmer nook, Till they wished that they could gaze for stars by day. There's an alle in the rear, 4 And they huddled there in fear, While they peeped at stars in a coquettish wayg But the azers' courage bold Lesseneci as the air grew cold, y And they wished that they could gaze for stars by day. There's the scientist so bright, And the Wednesday Echo's li ht, And the Deacon, as upon his back he Tay, Thought the stars looked cold and gray And they all said with dismay, That they wished that they could gaze for stars by day. For we all would give a lot Could we camp upon the spot Where the club are watching stars so far away, But it may be we'd say, too, lf the air grew rather blue, That we wished that we could gaze for stars by day.

A REVERSED Holzoscomiz TRACIEDT IN TWO .SCENES SCENE I. Library of the Benton home. Mrs. Benton seated before a table, writing. Georgie B. rocking on a hobby horse in the corner, yelling at the top of his voice. Mrs. B. Now Georgie dear, please be quiet a little while and tell mother whom you wish to invite to your party next Saturday. Georgie. But ma, if I be quiet how can I tell you who I want to my party? Mrs. B. Georgie, you mustn't be impertinent to mother, dear. And Georgie, I Kish you would remember to take oft those muddy boots when you come into the 1 rary. Georgie. Well ma, l'm not goin' to have Archie Ferguson, an' that's a cinch, 'cause none o' the other boys'II come if we have him, 'cause none 0' the girls'll speak to none o' us fellers if he's along-and besides he said I couldn't swim no better 'n a bow- legged tadpole, an' he walks himself- Mrs. B. Georgie, Georgie, I'm shocked. You mustn't talk about your play- mates- Georgie. An' ma, Charity Dye won't come either, she won't. She's got another one of them Elsie books, an' you can't get her to do anything until she gets thro' with every last one o' them, an' she's only got as far as Elsie's children now, but l'Il bet she'll stay at home an' read it. Mrs. B. Well Georgie, mother is ready to address the invitations. Please tell me which little boys and girls to invite. Georgie. Well, you can ask little Laura Donnan, if you want to, 'cause she said 'at when she grew up an' got to be a man, she's goin' to vote the Republican ticket. But you can't invite Charley Thomas, 'cause he jest lights like Pete jones' ol' roosterg an' then he sez a piece that his ma Ieamt him onct, or else he learnt at Sunday school, 'bout Then welcome each rebuff. Our Sunday school teacher tried that gag on us 'bout Iettin' a feller hit you on two cheeks at onct, but you bet it don't work with us, no sir-r-ree, it don't. Mrs. B. Really Georgie, there are times I think, when you are a little vulgar. Where do you learn so much slang? A REVERSED HOROSCCPE Georgie. Well, l don't want that little Eddie Forsyth, anyway. He's little, an' folks all think he's so cute, an' they're always a-givin him pennies. Mrs. B. But Edgar is a very economical litse boy, and he has the head for a business manager, Georgie. Georgie. Yes, an he's always a-ridin' on the out-side o' the merry-go-round, too, 'caige he gets more ride for his money that way, an' he makes his brother ride on the msi e. Mrs. B. Come, Georgie, shall we have june Roberts, and little Artie Dunn? Georgie. Naw, ma, you bet l won't have them. lf they come to my party, why the rest o' us won't et no dates to eat, 'cause the eat 'em all. Mrs. B. Welf Georgie, get down off your liobby and run and play while l finish writing these addresses. lExit Georgie with a sound somewhat resembling, perhaps, a centipede on roller skates.l SCENE 11. g A week later. The Bentons' dining room. Enter the children marching by twos, in the rear Georgie, tuming handsprings as he comes. Geor ie. Hurry ma-l'm afraid the ice cream'll all melt. You got to give me the most, but you can give Amelia Platter the next biggest dish, 'cause l want her to s k that piece after 'while 'bout the star 'at twinkles. She can speak pieces jus' line. ftgiigllyj Mama, Set? Schirer says he thinks it's cold alretty too soon. Ja, an' he sal or you to e is oor s ut. Angeline Carey fa roly-poly little irl with a laughj. Oh, Mrs. Benton, Georgie's only given Ella Marthens an' that other iittle girl but one dish o' ice cream between em. Geor ie. Well, the .only have one dish between 'em at home: they tol' me so. R Ella Yes, but tFey Eilways gisie us one dish apiece when it's ice cream, 'cause ousseau eats ice cream ots aster 'an can. Georgie. Well, they don't get two dishes here, 'cause in the winter when it's cold they always make me pull 'em both on one sled, an' they're awful heavy, too, so they are. An' ma, don't you let lliohnnie Higdon reach up on the table an' et all the candly. l'll just bet he can reac that high, 'cause he sez he's got a boardin' house reac . A REVERSED HCRGSCGPE Lynn B. McMullen. Ma tol' me to tell you, Mrs. Benton, if you asked me to sing that l could. Pa won't let me sing when he's around home, but I can, louder 'an anybody else on our street. Geor ie. Well, it's my birthday, an' l'm six years old. Mrs. Yes dear, we all know it. Won't you take this candy over to those two little boys in the corner, dear? Georgie. No, l'm not a-goin' to. Frank Wade an' Wally Baker always do stick oil in a corner by themselves, an' they jabber the Choctaw-est stull you ever did hear, an' the rest o' us tellers can't understand it at all. Mrs. B. Georgie, you really mustn't be so discourteous to your guests, now- Grace Triplett fa prim little girl in a spotless pinaforej. Oh, Mrs. Benton, Georgie's teasin' me- , Georgie. Aw ma, I was only tryin' to make her laugh, an' she wouldn't at all. Mrs. B. Now George, you have been just about naughty enough for one after- noon, and l think that even if you are having a party l shall have to send you up to your room. You have pulled the little girls' hair- IExit, with Georgie, kicking and yelling.l 0 U S H L E T .S Little rare quotations, Little prose work weekly, Little things to say, A construction test, Make us Hunk in English Make us llimk in Latin Almost every day. just as in the rest.

She bought the pattern of pink lawn on exhibition at jewett and Patton's notion store. HE Ladies Industrial Union met at the beautiful home of Miss Julia Haines on Barton- road Saturday last. The meeting was on the order of a sociable in honor of the birthday of the charming hostess. The young men of the church were entertained in the evening at blind man's buff and checkers. An enjoyable time was had by all. MISS ldamarie Rogers has left for the city to accept a position as cash girl in one of the big stores. We like to see such enterprise in the girls of Dabville Center. T 1 HE Hon. Theodore Barton Griffith, Esq., has set up his law office in the city of aytown. Dabville Center has reason to feel proud of Mr. Curiffith's wonder- ful and brilliant success, as he first showed his ability as an orator in the debating class of our district school house.

P. KANE Nash-ville, Tenn., Florence allup Atkins CONTRALTO SOLOIST and Teaelzer of Voice Banner-: Miss Atkins' voice is a mellow contralto, rich and sweet, with great compass. Lea venrworth, Kan ., N efwr- The Treble ClefClub was assisted by Miss Florence Gallup Atkins soloist. Her voice is a contralto of marvelous range and depth. Chitaga Examiner- Miss Atkins' voice is a contralto of much power and sweetness. Her singing is artistic, and she possesses rare personal beauty that adds charm to her song. Muriral Leader and Canter! Coer- ln the management of a very unusual voice, Miss Atkins shows the skill expended in its development. It is a voice of much individu- ality and one which should place its owner prominently before the public. Miss Atkins phrases well and sings with musical feeling and artistic perception. I7ldill7I11f70lIJ .Inu rn11l- The recital given by Miss Atkins at the Propylzeum proved to be a delightful affair. The program was varied and afforded the fair young singer an opportunity to show her capabilities in different directions. Miss Atkins possesses a contralto voice of unusual range 3 her low notes are full and rich, her high notes clear and true, and she sings with good taste and much expression. She is a charming and refreshing entertainer, for she is not only a beautiful young woman, but a performer without affectation. Her rendi- tion of the German lieder of Schumann and Schubert showed her to be a cultured vocalist, and in the melodious love ballads and simple folk songs of England, Scotland and Ireland, her interpretation was very effective. The contralto demonstrated her talent both as a dramatic and lyric artist.

The same man at forty-one, fast approaching middle age, and probably with a family to support, glancing backward, regards the intervening time as short indeed.
