The new staff takes up the duties of publishing the Radiator with ardent hopes and high expectations, and with a most sincere desire to perpetuate the present cordial feeling of the faculty and student ibody toward the paper. Radiator enthusiasm was never higher during the first two months than it is the present year: a plea for financial support never met a more generous response; and an effort to procure material never brought forth a greater shower of contributions. Such practical encour- agement has naturally led us to put forth our best 4 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR efforts to begin well. So we place our first Radiator before the stern judge, our fellow stu- dent. and anxiously await a decision. r 'J’HE Radia tor will continue to l c the organ of all societies, clubs, and organizations having a place in the schools: its voice will be raised in be- half of every worthy object; and it will gladly re- cord every event of interest to its constituents. “Nothing extenuating, nor setting down aught in .malice.” We call on our friends, advisors, and supporters in all classes to aid in making the record of the Radiator for 1902-’03 the equal of previous volumes in every respect, and in keeping it in har- mony with the spirit of its watchword. Advance. JHE upper classes will remember that two years ago C. R. Foster and W. 1). Eaton were re- spectively editor-in-chief and sporting editor of the Radiator. They will therefore be interested to learn that these two men, together with E. L. Fos- ter. E., 99, are to publish a magazine to be devoted to the stage, and to be called The Green Room.” The Radiator most heartily wishes them success in the venture; and teachers and students will all no doubt take a special interest in the publication. The first issue will be the November number. DVERTISERS complain that the High School students do not reward them for their tireless friendship: and some of them assert that an adver- tisement in our columns brings no returns. This is a situation that ought to be corrected. We do not wish to work upon the feelings of these men to obtain the necessary finance to run the paper, and something practical ought to be returned them in appreciation of their support. We trust that a sug- gestion will be sufficient. Perhaps the advertisers themselves may be reminded that there are two sides to the case. Nearly a thousand Radiators are printed each month. Now there are at least three readers for every paper, so that a conservative estimate of the number of people who read an ad- vertisement in the Radiator is 3,000. Our readers, however, are again asked to apply the Golden Rule here and patronize the men who are making it possible to publish the Radiator. , QUR acknowledgment is due the teachers for their kind assistance to the new staff. The ex- perience of each year is stored up in Miss Merrill and Miss Pratt, to be drawn from by each new set of amateurs that essay to take charge. MISS MERRILL, of the English School faculty, who was away two months before school closed, on account of ill health, has returned to us much benefited by her long summer in Europe, and greatly refreshed by having enjoyed many climates and scenes. JTSS BAILEY, at the head of the German de- partment in the English School, will return from studies at Berlin in November. During her absence, her place is ablv filled by Miss Anna Pushcc. Vi ► | T is with great pleasure that the Latin School wel- comes back Miss Fox, after her year’s absence. We are glad that she has had such an interesting year of travel, and we sincerely hope that we may make this winter so pleasant for her that she will not regret being among us again. r E note the return of Miss Batt, of the English School, after a year of rest, and trust that she is even better able to discharge her duties, re- freshed by a trip abroad. r. pUPILS in biology greatly miss the genial pres- ence of Miss Anderson, under whose efficient management that department has been since the opening of the English School in '95. Miss Ander- son leaves us to take a position in the University Preparatory School. Chicago. Her work here is continued by Miss Grace E. Lord, who during a part of last year was Miss Anderson’s assistant. � '['HE staff would gladly invite contributors to leave manuscript at its office, but up to the date of present writing said locality has not been found. •� � [' O arouse the basket ball fever seems to be a her- culean task, as little enthusiasm has been dis- played so far. Come, girls, sec what the boys have done in football. Supi ort the fame of Somerville. . K K WE are glad to learn that the High Schools have an abundant supply of coal for the present, and no enforced vacation is anticipated. OME surprise was expressed that the Radiator did not appear on the third Thursday; but “the third Thursday” is a more dignified expression for the next-to-the-last Thursday,” and there are five of them this month. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 TRIAL TRIP OF THE MAINE. By Carl Eaton, L., '03. the morning that the Maine's trial trip was to he made, we left Lewis wharf at seven o’clock on the tug Pallas ’ which had been chartered by the Cramp Company. It was nearly half an hour from the time we left until, as we passed Governor’s Island, we caught the first sight of the new Maine. The sky was overcast, and the chances of getting any good pictures were very doubtful, but. as we drew nearer, the sun came out for a minute, and I snapped the shutter. The tug came abreast the Maine’s starboard quarter, and an officer stood at the gangway to help us aboard, so at last I stood getting up steam. While I was down here 1 heard the thumping of the windlass. Hurrying on deck. I found that they had the anchor nearly hoisted, and as it came above the water, the ship gave a long blast on her whistle, and our trip began. All the passing boats saluted, and the Maine answered each, no matter how small, with her big whistle. Going out by Bug Light, the water was so shal- low that the large screws stirred up the mud from the bottom. After we passed Boston Light, the Maine turned her bow toward Cape Ann. At about eleven o’clock Thatcher’s Lights were no- ticed off the port side, and a little further on. by THE MAINE AS SEEN PROM THE TUOBQAT. on the quarter-deck of Uncle Sam's new fighting machine. As I went fore and along the gun-deck. I saw some of the crew eating their breakfast, while Others were asleep in hammocks, after their watch on deck. But one of the first things that 1 noticed was the thickness of the armor around the protec- tive deck. Here it was six inches thick, but I think the rest was not more than three inches. I wandered around the ship from the bridge to the hold Beneath the protective deck were two large dynamo rooms, containing eight generators, which supplied the lights for the boat, and the power for turning the turrets and operating the nu- merous ammunition hoists. Down in the engine room the men were busily oiling the engines, tightening bolts, and seeing that everything was in readiness for the coming trial. In the boiler room men were lighting the fires under the boilers and Rockport. we could see part of Admiral Iliggin- son’s fleet laying off” the harbor, while out on the horizon I could just make out the Olympia and Brooklyn, watching for Captain Pillsbury's fleet. The boat’s speed had been rapidly increasing, and the waves at the bow rose higher and higher, until, as we passed the first stake-boat, the spray was fly- ing as high as the bridge. Then the full-speed bell jingled in the engine room, and we were off on our race against time. For about an hour I busied myself by taking pic- tures of the different parts of the ship, and watch- ing the wake as it trailed far astern in a perfectly straight line. About one o’clock the bell for luncheon sounded, and all went below to the ward- room. expecting to find a light lunch, but our most daring expectations were surpassed, for. in- deed. they served a “bountiful meal.” as one of the other guests remarked. 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR By the time we came up on deck again the Maine was nearing the last stake-boat on the outward trip, which was just off Cape Porpoise. We rounded this with a great whirl of the waters, and then rushed back for the return. The wind, which had been dead ahead, was now astern, so that the smoke following along with the ship covered everything on deck with showers of cinders. The spray stopped flying as soon as we were going with the wind, so that gave me a fine chance to watch the bow wave from the very bow of the boat. As the sharp ram cut the water, this huge wave rose on either side in a beautiful curve, until it almost reached the deck: then it fell with a roar and a smother of foam which was quickly lost ran in closer to the shore. The starboard one was dropped first, in about thirty fathoms of water. As it plunged downward, its chain rushing through the hawser pipe raised curling wreaths of smoke. When both anchors had been dropped, they com- menced to haul them in. but they had trouble with the windlass on the port side, and finally had to finish by hand. This delayed us about two hours, and it was no small task, for the anchor itself weighed five tons, so that it was nearly six o’clock when we turned toward Boston. As we approached home, it was quite dark: the lights on shore shone brightly: and off to our left flashed Minot's never-ceasing 1-4-3. When we neared Boston Light, we saw three small lights watching the bow-wave astern. It was one of the most fascinating sights that I ever saw, and 1 stood watching the roaring waters for a long time. Finally, the first stake-boat appeared ahead, and it was then that the Maine made her greatest speed. Her stacks were beginning to blister from the heat. Looking down the engine hatch, we counted one hundred and thirty revolutions a minute of her cranks, and the whole boat was trembling from stem to stern. As we passed the stake, her helm was put hard over, and she turned in a circle of about three of her own lengths. As they did this, a large American flag was unfurled at the foremast, and we knew that her speed trial was ended. They next gave her an anchor test, and for this swaying wildly from side to side. Suddenly the anchor dropped, and the three lights proved to be the tugs which were to meet us. The tugs coming alongside pitched and rolled so in the heavy sea, which had been growing rougher all day. that it made landing very difficult. How- ever. all were soon aboard, and we started for the city. When we were a little way off, the Maine turned her searchlight on us, and just at that mo- ment. while our attention was on her, the top of a wave swept along the rail of the tug, and a few of us had wet feet for the rest of the evening. It was late when we reached the wharf, but as we parted, all agreed that we had had a most inter- esting trip. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 7 A BUNCH OF VIOLETS. By Phyllis, E. H. S., '03. RED CLARK and Harry Phillips, quarterback and tackle, respectively, were both in love with the same girl; that is, they thought they were in love with her. which is nearly the same thing. Her name was Grace, and she was a sweet little maid, although she didn’t know a tackle from a punt. She attended all the big games, generally on the top of a tally-ho. and had learned by many patient lessons that when the ball moved toward one end of the field you were to cheer and wave your flag; and when it advanced in the opposite direction, you were to yell. ’’Hold As Thanksgiving Day drew near, interest in the big game became intense, and bets were freely ex- changed. Miss Grace, to be real chic, placed a wager of a pair of gloves on the home team. Several days before the game Fred and Harry happened to call the same evening, and to each she impressed her desire that they should win. The one that plays the best shall be my best friend. she said, as they were about to depart that evening. Each went home with a determination'to do some- thing desperate on the eventful Thursday. ! v two o'clock on the crucial day the interested sun shone down upon a white-barred gridiron. ’em!” or keep still. Her private opinion of the game was that it was dreadfully slow. When Fred called at the house, she would say very charmingly, How do you manage to dodge those other fellows so cleverly, Mr. Clark? and when Marry called, she would look up at the big tackle, and. with a sweet smile, would say. I should think that you would he killed there in that line. Mr. Phillips. Then Harry would blush and think that he had never seen such a sympathetic girl. The rivalry increased as the season advanced, and neither seemed to gain an advantage. Miss Grace and her tame “lions” became a standing joke among the students. framed with grandstands, tally-hos, and bright colors. As the two teams came trotting on the field, cheer after cheer greeted each team from the rival grandstands. Clark and Phillips were sure they saw Grace on a tally-ho near the flag pole. Then came the kick-off, and from that moment the thought of Miss Grace never entered their minds. When the umpire blew his whistle at the end of the first half, the supporters of the blue took one long breath, and then broke forth into such a pan- demonium of joy as only a football crowd can make, as the score stood six to nothing, in their favor, and Clark had scored the touchdown on a double 3 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR pass. The clever work of Clark was on every one’s lips, and many were the cheers that he received front the cheering section. In the second half, the sturdy orange-clad arms and legs had advanced the ball far into the home territory, and the hall was slowly moving toward that line of success. The thirty-yard line was passed, then the twenty, and at last the fifteen- yard line Hold ’em! Hold ’em! Hold ’em!” rings out from the main stand, and, encouraged by this, they make a determined stand on the ten-yard line, but, alas! the ball is pushed over for a touch- down. The orange banners wave for the first time. The ball is brought out for the try for goal from touch- down. The cheering is furious. The kick is care- fully directed by the captain, but it goes under the bar.. Score: 1 1 ue. ; orange, 5. Again the snappy yell of the blue rings across the field, and gray-haired professors fairly split their throats endeavoring to be loyal. With eight minutes to play, they kick off again to the giant fullback of the orange-clad team, who is soon downed. For five minutes they strive to gain through the line, but with little success. A few end plays give them five yards. The ball is in the centre of the field. Two minutes to play. The quarterback glances anxiously across the field to the side line. The coach is holding a handkerchief in his hand. This is the signal for the quarterback kick. ‘‘Play steady, boys,” commands the gritty little quarter. At this signal the quarter receives the bail and kicks it to one side. It lands fairly in the end’s arms, who tears down the field, followed by Phillips and the halfback. The little end hurdles the fullback. Phillips is gaining. Ye gods! who will win? Nearer and nearer, on, on speed the two contestants over the white marks, which seem to fiy by like so many birds. Phillips is certainly gaining. Will he overtake his opponent in time? Phillips sees the two posts which signalize victory for rival and defeat for himself, lie gives one des- perate leap, and straightens out in a beautiful dive tackle. His arms clutch the air desperately; they circle about the runner’s knees! Oh! how good it seems! Then all is blank. The whistle sounds the end of the game, with the ball on the three-yard line, and the score six to five, in favor of the blue. The crowd rushed on the field and carried the heroes around the field on their shoulders. In passing one of the tally-hos, Harry saw Miss Grace toss a bunch of violets to Clark, who in reality had won the game, but he himself had saved it. That night, as the team sat in the parlor of the hotel, smoking their favorite brands for the first time in weeks, the captain came up to Phillips, who sat near the fireplace, and said. What’s the matter. Harry? You don’t look like a fellow that had saved the day for his team.” Never mind. Ned,” said Phillips, “if I did save the day, I lost something dearer to me than that,” and he opened his watch and showed the picture of Miss Grace to his chief, and Ned understood. Two weeks later the stocky little quarterback was receiving congratulations, and Harry had promised to be best man. A FANCY. By A. F. L., L., '03. I saw a small cloud passing. As I lay on the mountain side, With a wild brook near by dashing To the sea, with its wondrous tide. I know not why I wondered At its shape, the face of a child, Not why I lay and pondered On that face so pure and mild. ’Tis childhood’s smile it weareth, Free from pain, or trouble, or care, There is nothing indeed it fcarcth, But hath trust so pure, so rare. 1 watched it passing o’er me. With its changing smile, most sweet, Obscured by a towering pine tree; Now again its smile I meet. Changing, yet ever smiling, On its way o’er that vast blue dome, With a calm sweetness beguiling, Far above the great ocean’s foam. Now from mv sight ’tis hidden, Far over the mountain height, To follow it I am forbidden By a valley, a river, and night. But in thought I can ever follow In its wake through the pathless sky; Though the world be small and hollow, ’Tis a memory I’ll have for aye. SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 TWIXT GODS AND MAN. By M. M. B., L. H. S., '03. CTO HER FIRST is a date long to be remembered among the red-letter days of my life. How triumphant I felt as I reviewed the day! Had 1 received by card the mystic sign for excellent or good. or had 1 led the home basket ball team to victory? Xo. my wiser feelings told me to postpone the subject of school reports as long as possible, and as for basket ball, I had led the opponents to victory by a foul. Yet I was happy: very much so. in fact. I had kept a secret! Had I not heard. “A woman never can keep a secret ? Oh. the joy to feel that, as an exception. I had proved the rule. The next day I felt like a mighty conqueror, as I resisted all temptations to confide in my dearest HAD KEPT A SECRET.’’ friend. That night my room seemed filled with a hum and rustling. Was it my imagination, or did the hum really swell into a triumphant song? Yes. I became sure that some mysterious creatures were singing of my glory! Soon, from out the darkest corner, glided a figure. I did not scream because I recognized the features. It was Catiline. Al- though somewhat reassuring to know my visitor, yet I thought of his crimes and feared. Was he going to kill me? Nearer and nearer he came. and. at last, leaned over and scanned my face. My hair began to rise and stood on end. I suppose his breath caused it to do so. 1 lark ! he was speaking! “Would that mv comrades had been gifted with silence! Then, oh Cicero, you would never have been able to insult me in the senate! His words were followed by a groan, and then the conspirator walked back to the corner and dis- appeared. 1 was surprised to feel how hot and thirsty I was, but, of course, 1 was not frightened. (ireat was my relief, however, that my night’s sleep was not interrupted for several weeks. But at last a night came when, as I lay thinking of Cati- line. 1 heard a noise at the screen, and soon realized that there was another person in the room. He hardly seemed to touch the lloor. so lightly did he walk. I knew by his dress and features that he was no Roman. I looked more closely and beheld little wings on his cap. Those wings gave me the clue, and. after a keener glance. I fully recognized Mer- cury. the messenger of the gods. Oh. daughter of the human race, the favor of Jove has fallen upon you. The great father orders you to obey his commands. I shall come to lead you to his presence. Before I could ask any questions, he had with- drawn. I thought I heard some one at the win- dow call Pridie Kalendas. Now I understood that on that date he would come again. I� v the help of a Latin grammar. I found out that Pridie K alendas would probably mean October thirty- first. Impatiently I awaited the messenger’s return, but I heard nothing for a week. 1 was so excited that I could not get to sleep on Hallowe'en. Would he really come as he had said? What did Jupiter want of me? Soon I heard the same noise, and. looking around. 1 saw Mercury. He told me to throw a mantle about me and follow him. This I did, not daring to question him. After we climbed out of the window, he produced a pair of sandles with little wings on the heels. He stepped upon a moonbeam, and I tried to follow. I nearly fell, but bv his help I became more accustomed to the little steps, and progressed rapidly. After a while we came in sight of a great golden castle. We left the moonbeam, and seemed to flutter toward the building. When we came to the walls, the gates opened, and Mercury walked quickly into the court. I hur- ried after him, not daring to look either to the right or left. 'The majestic form of the king towered above all his courtiers, as he took his seat on the dazzling throne. I was surprised to see the people surround him and appear perfectly at home. Mer- cury explained that, on Hallowe’en night, the great king held a reception. There was no time for more conversation, for Jupiter addressed me. Arc you. oh being, so strong to resist tempta- tions, or did some goddess help you? I could not answer, try as I would. Would all my glory fade? Surely he would believe me guilty of some artifice if I did not answer. Once more I tried, but in vain. Yea, oh great and glorious majesty, king of us all. I have fully investigated, and have found that she has, unaided, kept a secret.” 10 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A murmur of applause rolled through the court, and 1 felt my record was clear. Overcoming my pride. I kept my head bowed in an humble position. “Rise! It is given you to choose some gift. Choose wisely, and your desire shall be granted; otherwise, perhaps Death shall reward your foolish pride.” Lull of joy, I raised my head to show my grati- tude. and then bowed it again. What should I wish for? A hat, a Yale vs. Harvard ticket, or an automobile? Nay. I had it! A rush of memories of sleepless nights, of headaches and heartaches came over me, as I thought of my story due the Radiator. Oh. worthy king, if I might express my wish, I would for the power to write a story. What could that murmur mean? It had no ap- plauding ring, but why not? Mad I not chosen wisely? Child of earth, great has been your mistake. Had you been intended for an author, the gift would have been bestowed long ago. Authors, like poets, are born, not made. Rut let these authors, some of whose works arc good, others bad, decide your fate.” He pointed to his left, and there among a great number I saw Shakespeare. He stepped out from the rest, and immediately three old women came toward him. As he whispered to them, the glance which they gave me awakened a great fear in me. Again they glided away, murmuring as they went:— Trouble, trouble, come and double. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” Then Shakespeare spoke to his companions, but so low that I could not understand him. His audi- ence seemed pleased, and all said, Yea. vca.” He continued, and I heard:— if it were done, when it were done, Then it were well if it were done quickly.” Shakespeare turned to Jupiter and addressed him. ■ lie king looked at me very sternly, and said:— “Oh, feeble soul, your doom has been decided. You must drink from the witches’ cup. They alone know the result.” A cold, damp feeling came over me. I felt my last moment had come when I saw the witches re- turning. So cold and fearful had I become that I did not notice that any one was speaking. For the first time 1 listened:— I never believed, as I state in my essay on Addi- son. in harshly criticising women authors, and now I would plead for this child. She is de- ceived bv the false glitter, and is too young to be allowed the privilege of choosing a gift. That she kept a secret. 1 believe, was a mere accident; but keep it she did. Therefore, I say, allow her to re- turn to earth a sadder, but wiser, girl.” A silence fell o er the assembly, but at last Jupiter said:— Macaulay’s plea has attained its object. Be- gone. before our minds arc changed. You arc free.” One of the witches dropped the cup, and. as Mer- cury hurried me away, she screamed:— You’ll never write a story!” The crash of the cup seemed to double and triple as it echoed through the court. I turned to Mer- cury to ask if the prophecy was irrevocable, but, instead of seeing the messenger of the gods, I be- held the mighty column of books from whose depths I had been imbibing knowledge fallen in chaos on the floor by my bed. THE MAN OF RED AND BLUE. By J. G. H„ S. L. S., '03. With his myriad host of satellites. Admiring friends and chums, The greatest of our “shining lights,” The gridiron warrior comes, With hair a-clot with mud and gore, With a broken bone or two. With nose in pieces three or four, And eyes of black and blue. He’s lacking much of sanity. And a yard or so of skin. His cars arc sought with vanity On the field by happy kin. He’s the idol of society. The deity of youth, Emblematic of propriety, A Chesterfield, in truth ! The golfer lays his sticks aside To grace the conqueror’s march, Equestrians no longer ride In pomp and generous starch. The tennis crack is on the shelf, The yachtsman,—on the beach, The mobilist can prove himself To be quite out of reach. The cyclist rides in solitude, The sprinter sprints in vain, The baseball player’s “somewhat crude,” And has an addled brain.” But the footballist is just the thing, So full of force and vim. Of all great fav’rites, he’s the king, V hen will his sun grow dim? I-Ie’s the pet of femininity, And, girls, it’s up to you To support your new “affinity,” The Man of Red and Blue. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 11 A GOLDEN MESSENGER. By May H. Baker, L., '03. IIE fresh green of the summer leaves was changing to the golden brown of autumn. Vacation was over, and much too soon it seemed to Miss Lelia Cummings, as she stood on the wharf at Camden, watching the ap- proach of the steamer which was to carry her back to her duties in Boston. It seemed unusually hard to leave home this year: for the vacation spent on the old farm had been an extremely pleasant one. And then, too. her mother was growing old and feeble, and as Lelia said good-bye. it was with a sharp pang of grief that she noticed how wan her mother's face looked. Rut after the last farewells wore waved, and the great boat had pushed its way out into the river, she settled herself in her camp could sec in her imagination his face beside that of her mother. Indeed, his cheerful countenance and frank, boyish smile had haunted her to-day, and when the long, tiresome journey was over, she stepped on the Boston wharf with a sigh of relief. When I get to work 1 shall feel better,” she said to herself, as she unpacked her trunk. !t was not until that night, on raising her hand to take off her locket, that she found it was missing. In dismay she searched in every conceivable place, lint in vain; it was gone, and little did she dream of the mission upon which it went. « o few days later, a tall, sunburnt young man stepped off a ship onto the Boston wharf. His head was bent in thought as he walked along, and YIELDING TO A BOYISH LOVE FOR THE SEA. HAD LEFT HOME. chair on deck, and tried to think of the year of work ahead of her. But. in spite of herself, her thoughts would wan- der to the dear old home nestling among the Cam- den hills. She saw the little sitting room, with its great open fireplace and comfortable rocking chairs, in one of which she could see her mother sitting. Over the mantelpiece opposite hung the picture of her brother, who, yielding to a boyish love for the sea. had left that happy home. I low she longed for him to return and cheer tip the sad and wrinkled face he had left behind! And. as she thought, Lelia unconsciously unfastened the locket which hung about her neck, and gazed at the pic- ture of her mother which it enclosed. The locket, too, was dear to her. as her brother George had given it to her just before he went away, and she he iiardlv noticed his companion who was walking by his side. Finally, the latter said : George, what are you thinking about? Aren't you glad to get back to Boston ' Yes. said George, but this trip has been a mighty pleasant one.” I have enjoyed it. too, and---” Rut what's this?” asked the other, and as he spoke he picked up what appeared to be a piece of brass. I don't know. replied his friend; it looks like a piece of dirt to me.” But.” said George, as he saw the dirt removed from the article to the sleeve of his coat. I guess it's something gold.” [Continued on lwigo 23.) 12 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ACK STANLEY was a young cattle king, who had spent several years in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It is a thriv- ing, bustling city, which stands out on a bleak plain that bears little but a tough, waving grass and cacti. The city itself is largely dependent upon the livestock which is exchanged there—the sole product of this bleak, wind-swept desert. The picture one sees from a car window in Southern Wyoming is always the same—a spotless sky. met by low, rounded lulls, with occasionally a background of mountains toward the north. The place is dreary and deso- late. to say the least, but Stanley had learned to love it. Annually his mother went East to visit her sister. Mrs. Raker, in Pennsylvania, and the latter's son. Harold Raker, made an even exchange by visiting Stanley at the same time. It was early on a morning of June when Raker arrived, and naturally the two young men were discussing the girls- Why. Stanley,” said Raker. I tell you, she is a goddess. You've forgotten what she looks like, that’s all. She is tall, as graceful as a willow, and her figure is perfect; her hair and eyes are black— “Oh, yes. I remember now—all but the name,” said Stanley. “Alice—don't you like the ring of it? Alice Carter: but of course the ‘Carter’ is only tempo- rary.” Heavens! Engaged?” O. no; not formally, explained Raker, but it’s a half-understood affair. You see. it’s this way: The old folks take it for granted; she seems to think it a matter of course, by her manner; and I—well, I like her. but not enough to make it a definite matter. See? “Exactly,” replied Stanley, with his habitual brevity. Yes, old man, of a verity she is charming—one of those dreamy creatures, whose soft tones lilt you to another realm : but, say. what in the world is this picture of Ethel Douglass doing on your table?” Minding its business,” answered Stanley. O. come, old Xestor, tell me about it.” Simply an old tlame of mine. 1 would destroy it, but I liate to mutilate a photograph.” Jack, it’s too bad you let that girl embitter you. Why, there are millions of girls,” argued Baker. i know it—bores me, too; but we can’t change it.” “O, cheer up. It’s nonsense to let a soulless girl take all the life out of a useful man this way.” “Break away, Baker. Put the thing back, and let's go see the city.” After a few days, an event occurred which put Raker in high spirits, and utterly disgusted Stanley. They were strolling at their ease in a park, when from a distance Raker espied a face approaching which simply captivated him. As his cousin knew the girl. Baker succeeded in getting an introduc- tion. though Stanley rather stiffly complied. She was in a hurry, and as she went on. Baker ex- claimed :— Well! Pennsylvania can’t equal that; just look at that figure. Stanley.” O, don’t stare like a farmer. Can’t you sec those people laughing at you?” said Stanley. “What do I care! Isn’t she a fairy!” Alice, where art thou?” chanted his friend. Rats, can’t a fellow change his mind?” Not in this case; that maid is simply a wild, harum-scarum sort, with absolutely nothing in her make-up but vivacity.” argued Stanley. You, a self-avowed bachelor, ought not to judge the fair sex.” “I’ve a notion,” said the other, half to himself, “to send this little fool back to his mamma.” ()nc evening some days later Stanley was walk- ing up and down the floor with an impatience and anxiety that his sullen philosophy would seldom permit; for Baker, who, of course, did not know the city, had been out for three hours on a trip to the post-office—some fifty yards away. No telling what that fellow’s doing,” he mut- tered. He has grown quite game lately.” At just that moment Baker entered. “Back?” inquired Stanley. Did you take the letter to him?” Just a minute, Jack—let me get my breath. Oh. my boy, mv boy. I’ve had a great time. Let me take your fan. I’m roasting. I met her on the street----” What! ejaculated the other. “Don’t interrupt—and I walked up Main with her—ice cream, chocolates, etc., go along with the fair sex. you know. She’s a veritable goddess, old man: honestly, she’s simply bewitching!” “Unsophisticated idiot! roared Stanley. O. get out. I'm sane, brother; don’t worry. I'm just wound up. that’s all. This little fairy is enough to make anybody happy but you; and of course a mule can’t smile. No use kicking, though, I’m going up to see her this evening.” Never!” exclaimed Stanley. “I’m going.” Meanwhile, Baker had made preparations to shave the second time that day; and his angry host SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 13 ucnt out of the room, ostensibly to get a magazine, but really for some stationery, and when he re- turned his flighty cousin was gone. Uttering some expressions with which we will not burden these pages, he sat down and wrote the following to the “idiot’s mother:— “My dear Auntie: Harold has fallen violently in love with a canary bird, and is in the whirling ecstasy that just precedes a proposal. There is only one way open that I can see to save him, and that is for you to wire him that you are dangerously ill, and lie must come immediately. I know the kind of people that have captured him. and the situation is critical, so don't fail to hurry. Dutifully yours, Jack Stanley. “That will fix him. he said to himself, as he fin- ished. for I trust that the sight of Alice will re- store hint. Leaving Baker to drive his anxious friend to de- spair by his glowing descriptions of the Western beauty, we will follow the letter eastward. Mrs. Baker and her sister were sitting in the former's garden, admiring the beauty of the flowers, when Mrs. Stanley said:— “I wonder what our boys are doing! “There is little telling what mine is doing. said Baker's mother. “I fear he is as probably fighting as praying.’’ “Surely not so bad as that ; but I suppose ‘Old Nestor,’ as Harold calls him, is grumbling,” ob- served Mrs. Stanley. By the way. what made such a change in him? Why, when that boy was in college he was the gay- est of them all, said Mrs. Baker. • I know it. Stanley’s mother explained ; and the same cause that made him jolly then makes him ■moody now—a girl. “Yes. I might have thought it,” assented Mrs. Baker. You remember who she was, of course—Ethel Douglass,” continued Mrs. Stanley. Well, they had a foolish quarrel that ended badly, and the re- sult was anger on both sides and the loss of the good nature of both. Now, however, he is dis- gusted with the whole sex, and Ethel has become -quite a different girl from the merry creature she used to be. From these two things, it looks as though both would wish the trouble had never oc- curred.” “No doubt of it,” said Mrs. Baker. Ethel is visiting Alice—I saw them together to- day.” Mrs. Stanley went on. The conversation was interrupted by the arrival of the post. Here’s Jip with another letter,” said Mrs. Baker. Upon reading it. she sat down with an air of resignation, for it was Stanley’s note. She was used to such affairs. After Mrs. Stanley had read it. however, she exclaimed in delight :— The very thing! An opportunity at last! We will both meet with an accident—presumably—and when both boys are here contrive a meeting for all four of the young people, and the spell over Harold is broken, and Jack’s former good humor restored! Ah, but that bov of mine,” said Mrs. Baker rue- fully. seldom works by a time-table.” Don't be so pessimistic : we can do it. I’m sure.” ♦ Stanley and Baker were in the former’s office, discussing Jack's various business ventures when a telegram arrived addressed to Baker. Any news? inquired Stanley, affecting anxiety, but wishing, at the same time, that he could pat himself on the back. Stanley, hear this!” exclaimed Baker, reading it: ‘Mrs. Stanley and I injured in an automobile accident—Mrs. L. D. Baker.' ’’ What!” ejaculated the other. Read it yourself. H—-m.” mused Stanley, this is bad. He was upset at having Fate turn his ruse into apparent reality, and take him into the affair, as well. “Harold, there is a train in two hours.” Accordingly, they made an immediate departure. While they were on the train. Stanley discovered that Baker’s ring was gone, and easily guessed that it had been left with the “canary. but mingled dis- gust and anxiety prevented his saying anything about it. When the two fellows arrived in Pennsylvania, they were a little puzzled that their mothers told contradictory stories of the accident, but, with the assurance of twenty-five years, they soon decided that such a small matter as getting a story confused was entirely pardonable in a woman. That afternoon Baker, much to his discomfort, met Miss Carter: and later in the day he said to Stanley:— Jack. I want you to go up to see Alice with me to-night.” Not I.” replied the other flatly. “Well. I know how you hate the girls, but sec how I'm fixed. I feel mighty little like being alone with her after that affair out West. She gave me a look this afternoon that simply made me wither— little she dreams of my faithlessness, and it galls me.” Why, yes,” assented Stanley dryly, it is a com- plication.” “Oh. come on. please; I’ll be glad enough to come home early.” So they went to sec Miss Carter, one of them feel- ing as though he ought to be guillotined, and the other as though he would much prefer to be. Call- ing on the girls did not at all agree with Stanley, and about the time when he was wishing he were in Wyoming, he made a discovery which entirely upset his composure. There sat Ethel Douglass. Whv. I’m so glad you came. too. Mr. Stanley,” Miss Carter was saying: and there is an old friend of yours here.” she added innocently. “Whv—yes,” said Miss Douglass, extending 'ner hand, though she hardly kne y whether to be cor- dial or not. “So glad to sec you again,” replied Stanley, SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 14 looking, at the same time, to see where there was a fire escape. As soon as they were seated, everybody was un- comfortable; for Miss Douglass was so confused and astonished that she did not know what to say; Miss Carter had discovered something strange in Baker’s manner that worried her; Stanley felt as stiff as a country boy at his first party, under the unusual circumstances; and Baker’s conscience was very active, to say the least. Now. how do you like the West?” asked Miss Carter of Baker. Just my luck,” thought the latter, casting a glance toward Stanley to come to the rescue. Why,” aloud, not much, Alice; the climate is beautiful; the scenery is magnificent, and all that; but I don't like their manners out there---” that was the only thing he could think of. And,” added Stanley, the girls arc uninter- esting.” Cold sweat began to trickle down Baker's fore- head. Why, is that so?” inquired Alice, in a tone of surprise. “Harold said there were many pretty ones there when he came home last year.” Oh. I guess they’re all dead now,” Stanley ex- plained. Baker wouldn’t even look at one this time.” Baker went over to the piano; something had to be done; there was no use talking, Stanley was being a traitor. He tried to play, but lie could not. for the only thing he could think of was “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” and he explained that he had had no practice. Of course,” continued Stanley; “you see, he wouldn’t go to see the girls, and so he hasn’t sat at a piano since he left. He was resolved to lynch Baker while he had a chance, and cure him once for all. Baker, looking wild, made another at- tempt. I thought he liked those Westerners,” said Miss Douglass. I've heard they were charming.” So did I,” added Miss Carter, looking at him where he sat, still at the piano, and perspiring freely. Oh, they’re horrible.” Baker said, rallying. Yes.” continued Jack, beginning to enjoy the affair, they’re not a bit charming—they aren't even pretty; and they arc all alike, too.” “Why!” exclaimed Miss Carter suddenly, “Harold, where’s your ring?” Baker’s hair began to stick out. Oh.” lie said uneasily, I—I—knocked the stone out of it.” “Yes,” explained Stanley, “and. would you be- lieve it, the mishap occurred on the street, and a girl picked it up and was gone before we could ex- plain.” Baker’s forehead glistened. “How unfortunate!” said Miss Douglass, begin- ning to recover from her embarrassment. A measly shame. assented Stanley. Dreadful!” said Miss Carter. Baker stared like a subject being hypnotized. Oh,” he said resolutely, “I don’t like them at all But, Alice, won’t you sing?” You will not care to hear me after Miss Doug- lass has sung,” she answered. We’ll toss a coin to see who sings first,” said Baker, for this was an opportunity not to be lost. The Fates decreed that Miss Carter must be first to entertain. When Miss Douglass' turn came, Stanley’s thoughts went back to a night on the water, when he had heard the song she was singing to the ac- companiment of his guitar, and he thought: That will of her's has not deserted her.” What did I tell you?” said Miss Carter to Baker. Why, she can’t sing half so well as you can,” said Baker. forgetting himself in his ardor. Stanley laughed softly up his sleeve, and remarked to Miss Douglass that Baker seemed very much ab- sorbed to-night, since he had not seen Miss Carter for so long. Yes, she replied, and you should have heard her glowing description of him when I came. One would have thought he had improved remarkably lately.” v )h, he has,” assented Stanley, “even in the past few days.” Baker caught the words, and. wiping his brow, attempted to draw Miss Carter aside to the piano again. Will you excuse me a moment,” said the latter just then, to get some pictures?” and she was gene. Baker saw an opportunity for a final recon- ciliation before Stanley could entirely ruin him, and, without a word, left, a moment later, in pursuit. Stanley began to feel uncomfortable—this was not the way Baker was to act—but he made an at- tempt to keep his head out of water. He looked up to speak, but there stood Miss Douglass bend- ing over a vase of flowers, in the identical position in which he had seen her three years ago, when lie had stolen a final look at her through the window before his voluntary exile. He watched her for several moments, and wondered what her thoughts were. Suddenly Miss Douglass looked up, and as a blush mantled her features that made her trebly beautiful, she silently extended a red rose toward Stanley. “Ethel!” he exclaimed, seizing her hand—but at just that moment Baker and Alice entered, wreathed in smiles, and as Harold instantly com- prehended the situation, he exclaimed ;— Well, well. well. Stanley, what of that oath of bachelorhood?” Methinks I hear a voice cry, 'Can’t a fellow change his mind?’’’ chanted Stanley, whose moroseness had fallen from him like a garment. “Twice, if he wants to.” said the irrepressible Baker, whose horizon at the present moment—alas for Western beauty—reached no farther than the venerable state house in his native city, and whose lode-star was to be found in the dark eyes of a dark- haired maiden. BENDING OVER A VASE OP FLOWERS. i6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ()nly a very few of our exchanges have appeared yet, owing to the fact, probably, that many schools, like our own. do not publish a September number of their paper. We hope to receive, before next month, many of last year's friends. The Student's Review, from Northampton, Mass., was one of the first to arrive. Its longest article, The Adventures of a Freshman, is a very bright, interesting little story. Merely a Sketch, in the High School Student, from Bridgeport. Conn., describes well the effect of music. Hezzy” also is very good. We agree with the Meriden Pennant on its defini- tion of “what constitutes a properly-conducted Ex- change Column. It would be well for all Ex- change editors to bear in mind some of its criti- cisms on this subject.

It is very seldom, except in those stories, that you find a rich old man looking for some otic to whom he may will even part of his vast fortune.

The first regular fortnightly social of the frater- nity was held at the home of Edwin 1 . Fitzgerald, '.‘i Vine street, on Friday evening. September 20. The meeting was one of the most important in the history of the club, because of the amount of busi- ness transacted.

Somerville soon held, and Papkec punted to Currier, Burton went around right end for ten yards, but Allen lost the ball on a fumble. Again Medford punted, Hafford, who secured the ball, running it back twenty yards by clever dodging. Countway went around the end for a touchdown. Burton kicked the goal. Medford kicked off to Burton, who ran it back twenty-five yards. McLaughlin and Allen tore through the line for ten yards. A clever quarter- back kick netted fifteen more. Here Somerville was penalized, and with the third down and ten yards to gain. Hafford dropped back for a placed kick. The ball was snapped to Currier, who held it in position, and Hafford kicked a fine goal from the twenty-five-vard line. Medford again kicked off to Burton. Hafford kicked to Medford. Medford failed to gain, and was forced to punt. After a few exchanges of punts, time was called, with the ball on Medford’s twelve-yard line. In the second half. Cuddy received the kick-off. and ran it back fifteen yards. Somerville punted to Papkee. Volpe gained ten yards, and Papkee twenty more. Dutton hurdled our line for the re- quired distance. Here Medford punted. Wyman shot around left end for sixty yards, and Bean plunged through right tackle for ten more. Time was called with the ball well into Medford's terri- tor v. For Somerville.

It’s a locket.” With some difficulty George opened it. and gazed at what was disclosed to him. It was some mo- ments before he spoke, and then his voice trembled, as he said. 'T.y Jove' that’s my mother’s picture, but oh. how changed Then, after a few moments of silence, he said: ‘‘Jack. I guess I won’t go on that voyage with you to-morrow, after all. I’ll go and see the captain about it now.” And. waving his hand, he turned in the opposite direction. When the five o’clock boat left the wharf.

Mow pleasant everything looked this Octo- ber morning, after his long absence! Me passed the old orchard, with its trees bending under their burdens of fruit, and on toward the great elms that stood just outside the gate, and seemed to stretch forth their branches to welcome him. He opened the small, white gate, and walked up the patii leading to the kitchen door. Putting his hand on the knob, he stood still a moment. As he listened, there came out upon the fresh morning air a low. sweet voice softly singing. How tired that voice sounded! Rut the song was never finished, for. on hearing the door open. Mrs. Cummings looked up and saw the gift that the little messenger of gold had brought her. ESTABLISHED 1882. TEL., 515-.% MANUEL M. SILVA Hair Cutter Cor. Perkins and Lincoln Sts., E.

THE annual reception given by the instructors of the English school to the parents of the in- coming pupils occurred Wednesday evening, No- vember 12. The attendance was unusually large, the number present being nearly five hundred, and the utmost cordiality prevailed. The first year pupils acquitted themselves with admirable dignity and courtesy on this the first social event in their High School course, and the reception was in the highest degree successful. In many of the laboratories, exhibitions of the work done were in progress. The building was beautifully decorated by a committee from the sec- ond year class, bunting, flags, palms, potted plants being used in abundance, and some unique effects produced not before attempted. 28 SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR FIXE photograph of the Old Powder House has recently been presented to the English school by Mr. L. E. Dadmun, father of Miss Blanche B. Dadmun, of the class of '05. The photograph is handsomely framed in oak, with a gray mat, bearing an inscription giving the main facts of interest regarding the Old Powder House. The gift is a very handsome one, and especially appreciated, as it is the first picture illustrating local history to be placed upon our walls. With the wealth of opportunity in this direction afforded by Somerville, it would be greatly to our :advan- tage should other friends be moved to follow the example so generously set by Mr. Dadmun. r pATROX'S of the Radiator are to be thanked for the enthusiastic reception given the Octo- ber issue. The fact that we sold out to the very last available copy in two days, and had to cut down the exchanges to a pitiful number to meet demands, is certainly most encouraging. A larger edition will be printed this month than has ever been ordered before except for June numbers. J XDEED the present state of school spirit is al- together commendable. A Senior class meet- ing smacks much of a congressional consideration of the question of Cuban reciprocity. Athletics are receiving generous support, and an era of en- thusiasm seems to be coming over us. This is not always true: so let us push the ball along. a number of verses to this issue. We are always grateful for contributions from the pen of an in- structor. QUR thanks are due Mr. Harry Jones, of the Eng- lish school faculty, for this month's cover. Mr. Jones has long been a faithful friend of the Radiator, and has had a hand in many of the best designs which have appeared in the paper. jyjISS BAILEY, the head of the German depart- ment in the English school, has returned from her foreign study. She will narrate some of her interesting experiences while in the land of astro- nomically-inclined mustaches for the December issue of the Radiator. � � � LITTLE more basket ball enthusiasm is neces- sary if this branch of athletics is to be as suc- cessful this year as football. The Freshmen espe- cially are asked to support it, for they, besides hav- ing four years in which to enjoy it, have the time; and time is a treasure to Seniors. 'pIIE clubs are asked to bring in their notices more promptly. Please send them earlier; for matter of great importance, or such as it is neces- sary to delay for good reasons, is all that can be accepted after the tenth. There arc a thousand things to take care of the week before the Radiator appears, hence we must insist on the ob- servance of this reasonable rule. 'JTIE game with Boston English High last Satur- day was naturally rather unsatisfactory to both sides. Each team expected to win, but neither scored. Somerville’s hopes for the cham- pionship. however, were not crushed by this game, as was the case last year. On the other hand, the visiting team's hopes were; and none of us can regret that, for this team really does not play “gentlemanly football.” A number of things in the game might be censured. But leaving those out of consideration, let us speak rather of the friendli- ness of the C. M. T. S. people who were present. Above all things, remember the championship is still possible, and not only that, but probable. 'pHE leading article this month is “A Border Town of Spain. by Miss Fox. of the I atin school, who. it will be recalled, recently returned from a year’s absence spent in foreign travel. Miss Marvel, of the English school faculty, contributes rpHE first issue of the Green Room is a model of artistic beauty. The cover, “The Opera Girl,” by h'red Kulz, in pastel, is very attractive. The whole book is profusely illustrated, and con- tains pictures of many of the professionals now be- fore the public. Our interest in this publication is brought about by the fact that it is edited, as will be remembered, by C. R. Foster, a former editor of the Radiator, and that it is run almost entirely by Somerville High School graduates. Last month we. being misinformed, stated that W. D. Eaton, English, '02. was to illustrate the Green Room. This is a mistake. Fred Kulz has charge of that department. Ye congratulate the publish- ers on the success of their first issue. . 'I'TIE constitution of the Athletic Association has not as yet been published, because of lack of space. New members arc asked to have patience, for as soon as it is possible we will print it. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 29 A BORDER TOWN OF SPAIN. By Miss Sarah W. Fox. N a lovely day in January, which re- called our own best October weather, we reached the Spanish border. If there was trepidation in our hearts lest we should fail to pass safely through a land so entirely unknown to us. and possibly unfriendly, our first experience was admirably adapted to dispel it. because so very homelike: for nowhere, outside our own native land, did we encounter such a custom-house exam- ination. The officials ransacked every article of our belongings, and even turned inside out the jackets we had been wearing for weeks, insisting that they were entirely new. Never before had we found occasion to regret that a lining was not shabby enough, or to rejoice at the discovery of a and was looking anywhere but at us. Finally I caught his eye and beckoned to him. It was inter- esting to watch the changes on his spare, grave face, which spoke as plainly as with words these several replies: Is the Senora beckoning to me?” What! pay for so slight a favor! No. no!” Can it be that the Senora insists? Well, then, to oblige a lady.” You may be sure that I accompanied the thirty centimos with the best Spanish thanks I could muster. It took us nearly an hour to reach San Sebastian, barolv twelve miles distant. 1 mention this, not to complain, as the guidebooks do. oi the slow Span- ish trains, but because we found this rate of travel very restful and refreshing.

Finally, they held up my old gray traveling shawl, bought twenty years before in London, and sternly declared that it was made of English wool. Wholly English, is it not?” said one. Self-possession had gradually been de- serting me during this first Spanish colloquy, and. thinking that lie asked whether we spoke only English. I answered, much humiliated. English, and a little Spanish.” Hut the reply—or was it the shabbiness of the shawl?—seemed to satisfy him completely. He passed on without another word, and we were almost the only passengers on that train who paid no duty. Spanish peculiarities were perceptible at once. The train for San Sebastian came alongside. Every porter was still busy lifting about heavy trunks, and we called Mozo! in vain. A nice- looking man turned, and said. Docs the Senora want her 'sacos' put on that train?” When, after securing places, I turned to pay him. he had retired to the farther end of the platform. Imagine Neptune's trident on a grand scale: each gently curving tine, a promontory,—ending, in place of barbed point, with a bold, green headland; blue, sparkling bays between: a little city on the central promontory,—and you have the city of San Sebastian. Here, we spent two weeks, partly to enjoy the de- lightful climate, partly to increase our scanty stock of Spanish idioms before going farther. The green hills tempted us to many a charming ramble. ()ften from our window we looked longingly at Mt. Igueldo. which bounds the western bay. Some- times we seemed able to descry amid the shrubby growth that softened its rough sides, a footpath leading to the deserted lighthouse on its summit; and so one bright, frosty morning we set off to ven- ture the ascent. We rounded the beautiful bay of La Concha (sea-shell), passed close beneath the modest and unpretending summer palace of Spain’s young king, and soon after struck into a rather well-worn track that seemed to lead upward by easy 30 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR stages. Presently the way divided, and wc halted in some perplexity about choosing our path. Luckily we were in a little hollow, near a spring, and while we hesitated, a young woman, carrying a tall bucket on her head, came towards us down an almost perpendicular slope, on stones sunk into the earth to furnish foothold. We asked whether she could direct us how best to reach the old light- house. Certainly,” she said, and pointed to the steps by which she had descended. Then, filling her pail and poising it again upon her head, she led the way. Lightly she went up those moss-grown stairs, now slippery with frost and dew. and heavily wc—or. at least. I—panted after her, glad to catch at the least twig that might steady our steps up those sloping, uneven stones. We reached the top in safety, but far behind her. She waited for us by a humble little cottage, evidently her own home, then turned and accompanied us a little distance, to give further directions. As we were about to de- t Beyond the bay rose Mt.

Englishmen and Span- iards had stormed those heights, while Frenchmen, with partisan Spaniards, tried to keep possession of them. The conflict was very bitter. Climbing up the winding path a few days before, wc had marked, as we neared the fort, how very thickly the mighty rock was impressed with the carved memorials of English officers slain there. Rut we could not stay long to indulge ourselves with gazing. A cold mist came drifting in from the sea. and, hastily picking from the greensward at the tower’s base a fragrant clove pink, as a memento of the visit, wc hurried downward. Another excursion was to the little bay of Pasajcs. where, close to the French border, the ship of Lafayette waited to carry him to our assistance CORRIDA DE TOROS-SUERTE DE VARA. part, I tried to slip a few coins into her hand. She withdrew it. Mindful of previous experiences, 1 conversed with her a moment longer alxmt our way, and tried again. 'Phis time the dignity and decision of her refusal were unmistakable. Very much abashed, we were obliged to content our- selves with thanks, and went on our way. More than once afterwards in Spain, our fees were per- emptorily refused, and we were forced to accept as a courtesy a service we had intended to buy. We found at last the very path we had dimly seen from our window, and easily reached the tower. Dismantled, but not ruined, as it stood, its silence and desertion on the lone hilltop were very impressive, and scarcely cheerful. A new light- house had been built on a lower slope, and we thought the old one very like a war-worn veteran abandoned in his old age. Below us lay the shining bay, with the fair green island of Santa. Clara guarding its entrance. in the Revolutionary W ar. The narrow winding channel leading into this wonderful harbor conceals itself between lofty cliffs, and makes the lovely little sheet of water look like a land-locked Swiss lake. W e were rowed across to the quaint old fishing vil- lage huddled into a narrow strip between hill and shore. The single street, for more than half its length, is entirely overarched by houses so as to form a tunnel. We visited the one church, and saw its famous relic, the waxen figure of a saint, to all appearance a fair little maid of tender years. Within this cere- ment is the real body of the young martyr. The interior of the church, like all Spanish churches that wc saw. was very rich and tasteful, glowing with warm colors and gold. We did not wonder that it was dear to this poor fisher-folk, the one bit of brightness in their plain, gray town. A throng of laughing, coaxing children guided us to the old fort, and forced open for us the dilapi- dated old gate. We did not grudge them the few SOM ERVI LLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 31 pennies they expected in return, though the Span- ish friend who accompanied us gravely chided them. A stout fishcrwonian rowed us hack across the bay in the gloaming. Her tariff was one cent and a halt for each person; we could well afford a pennv for the wheedling children. Opposite us in the train that took us hack to San Sebastian sat a quiet, middle-aged couple. They did not appear to notice us.—people rarely did in Spain; but our friend said that they remarked to each other. How nice it is that American ladies, like those two opposite, seem able to go all over the world together unaccom- panied; Spanish ladies cannot do it. N'ow. whether nice is precisely the word they used, or whether our friend softened it a little for our benefit, is immaterial. I only quote the remark to show that the constant courtesy extended to us in Spain was not due to any mistake about our nationality. We saw more stirring scenes. Two days later, at twilight, we heard a great outcry in the street, and, going to the window. we saw a loose and strug- gling crowd of people running across the broad plaza on which our hotel fronted. They looked rather young, their voices had a boyish sound. We noticed that the workmen breaking stones beneath our window did not look up. neither did the trades- men put up their shutters. Concluding, therefore, that some game was being played, and that the disturbance was not due to one of the disorderly strikes of which the papers were then talking, we remained upon our balcony until the plaza was quiet again. 1 lalf an hour later the uproar was renewed, and. turning off our light, we stepped out again. This time we could hear the sound of crash- ing glass. Seeing that we attracted attention, we soon went inside, closing both windows and shutters. Later we heard repeated volleys of firearms, and then all was quiet. On going down to dinner, we asked our landlady about the disturbance. Only boys.” she said, only bovs : they are going to have a hull for the carnival, and are just celebrating the fact, because they have feared that this year they might not be allowed to have one. It appears that in the Basque provinces, for the amusement of the common people, there have been, from time immemorial, hull-baitings. On the Sun- day previous to Ash Wednesday, there had. until last year, always been one. The manner of it is this: A bull tied by several long ropes, each held by a strong man. is led or dragged through the streets to the Plaza de la Constitucion. and there securely fastened in the middle of the square. Then the rabble tease and irritate him to their heart's content. Of course he becomes furious, and dashes first at one. then at another of his tormentors. They are quick, there are plenty to pull on the ropes, or to divert the poor beast’s attention, so that he seldom gores anybody, and fatal accidents arc rare. But minor casualties are common: people fall in their hasty rushes to escape the bull, and are trampled under foot by their comrades, or become entangled in the ropes and arc dragged about. Arms. legs, or collar bones are frequently broken. Our landlady’s explanation did not quite satisfy us. We had known something about rough cele- brations at home; but.they had not included heavy volleys of musketry. Therefore, next morning, be- iore setting out on a long excursion to Mt. L'lia. we bought a newspaper. Had we read it then, we might have hesitated about passing through a par- ticularly rough quarter of the suburbs, and under- taking the long, steep, and lonely climb by our- selves. As it was. we enjoyed the walk, picked huge bunches of mistletoe, and reached the town again before we gave a second thought to the riot. There we noticed several throngs of excited men. and even took pains to pass very close to them, to find cut what was the matter, but without success. ()ncc at home, we pulled out the newspaper and learned that our landlady's explanation was hardly correct. It appeared that the Queen Regent had deter- mined to stop bull-baiting, and had given orders to that effect. It must be remembered that bull-bait- ing is a very different thing from bull-fighting, as practiced in the arenas. Xo Spanish government would dare to interfere with that at present. Her order had been issued the year before; but the dis- appointed populace had demanded that the gov- ernor and council of Guipuzcoa. of which San Se- bastian is the capital, should petition the Regent for a continuance of the sjxirt. 1 he council had de- cided. after a hot discussion, by a vote of sixteen to twelve, to refuse the request of the people and sup- port the Queen's order. The mob had cheered the minority at the close of the session, and escorted them home. When the majority appeared, they had been roughly handled, and with difficulty es- caped injury. Later the mob surrounded the house of the Al- calde. and tried, without success, to force an en- trance. shouting, Death to the Alcalde! Amid a shower of stones, the governor addressed the rioters, attempting to soothe them. When neither coaxing nor threats met with any success, lie ordered out the Guardia Civil, who fired several volleys into the air. The police made many arrests in the consternation that followed, and the mob was then easily quelled. The editor of the paper we had bought, pro- fessedly neutral, but really a Carlist. and hostile to the government, closed his account by calling upon this noble Basque people to abstain from further demonstration, and not to dye these streets with blood ; but he warned those who govern or pre- tend to govern these brave citizens. not to deprive them of their national sports, and to remember that avoiding conflict was one thing, extinguishing it in blood, quite another. In fact, the council acted promptly and judi- ciously. They “avoided conflict” by packing the city with cavalry, infantry, and artillery; but when all excitement was over, they released the prisoners, all young, and many of them belonging to Carlist families, without prosecution. From that time until the end of our visit, nothing disturbed the peace of San Sebastian. 32 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A TALE FROM THE CAMPFIRE. By Clyde Scott, E., '05.

We were seated in a small cave on the side of Great Peg Mountain. It had been trying to rain all day, and the atmosphere was very chilly. Our camp-lire rendered us little or no service. Charlie was an old Westerner. He had been farmer, miner, cowboy, cook, and soldier, and was now employed as guide. After ramming home the tobacco with what was left of the finger which he lost in the fight with the Indians, he lighted his pipe, and said.

This evenin' brings t' nv’ mind a story which is fittiiv an' proper fer sech a night an' scch an occa- sion. I wus in a saloon in San Antone. an’ had bin drinkin' a little. I set down to a bench t' hev a game of poker with three other cowpunchers. Things wus a-comin’m’ way first-rate, an they kep’ a-comin’. Now a cowpuncher with consider'ble 'fire-water' in him is a bad man to fool with, an’ th’ first thing I knowed. th’ feller acrost from me hed drawed th bead on me. an’ wus a-reachin' fer th' money. Now there ain’t nothin' thet’ll disgrace a cow- puncher more’n squealin', thet is. beggin fer mercy. Well, this feller. Dan Ouimby b' name, sez. ‘If ye want ver life, ye’ll hev t' beg fer it.’ I knowed thet he warn’t foolin', and I wanted in' life- jest then, so 1 begged. He kep' me a-beggin’ an' savin’ all kinds o’ things ’til he got tired, an' then he ended up by cussin’ me in two 'r three tongues. An' durin’ thet time th' cowpunchers, half-breeds. Spaniards and all. wus a-watchin' an’ laftin’. I knowed thet I’d be branded as a squealer an’ a coward, an’ be hated b’ everyone becus I hed begged. All thet I cud think of thet night wus bein’ compelled t’ squeal, at th’ point of a gun. Next mornin' I left San Antone, alone, knowin' thet nobody would hev ennything to do with me. ’Nother thing I knowed wus thet th’ news would be spred ’round fer hundreds o' miles, so es it didn't matter where I went, they would know thet I hed bin made t’ beg. Then T begun t’ think what a fool I wus. Whv didn’t I let him shoot an’ save nv'sclf all this misery? Then I thought. What did he make me beg fer? I hedn’t done nothin' t’ him. ’xccptin’ t' honestly win his money. An’ after that, what did he cuss me fer? It wus wrong—dead wrong—an’ I knowed it. Don’t ye see thet there warn’t no prov’eation fer seek actions? Th’ more I thought of it. th' madder I got. Suddenly th’ thought come t’ m’ mind. I’M kill Dan Ouimby an’ redeem in' reperta- tion. Why didn’t I think 'f it afore? Th’ more T thought of it the better I felt. Kill becum stamped indcl'bly in m’ brain. I kep' a-picterin’ m’self standin’ over th' dead body o' Dan Quimby with in' Winchester in hand, an' a smile on in' face. With th' determination I started in search 'f Dan, who lied gone South t' San Lanardo. It took ’bout two weeks t ketch up with him. an’ durin' thet time I wus a-broodin' over thet occurrence, an' a-swearin' thet I'd kill Dan es soon ’s I seen him.

I pertended 't I wanted t trade guns, an’ th’ bluff worked all right. Pretty soon Dan set down with two ranchmen an' a half-breed t’ hev a game 'f poker. We wus both 'spicious of each other, an' kep' our guns ready. Th’ other members o' th’ camp paid little 'tention. ft must hev bin a half-hour 'fore his eyes wus taken frum mv d'rcction.

He had en- tered Harvard knowing: a number of upper classmen, and his acquaintance had rapidly spread in all directions. He had gone rather extensively into athletics, having played first base on the 'varsity nine, and had won his II in the Harvard-Yalc 0-0 football game. Later he was taken on the crew. Many a time when he was in training, vainly trying to make himself sleep, had lie heard the fellows singing, as they passed under his window. Stevenson's song. 1 have to go to bed by day.” lie had made a number of clubs in his Sophomore year, and was considered an all-round good fellow. As he started off from the Union one night, he was greeted with a chorus of ’'Oh, say. Tom. who's the lucky girl to-night? For reply he merely picked up a magazine and hurled it at Cecil W right’s head as he went out. 1 lalf an hour later, instead of sitting in the recep- tion room of a Beacon-street house with one of his numerous girl friends, by all of whom lie was pro- nounced perfectly adorable, he was in a dingy room on the top floor of a tenement house reading ‘‘Rob- inson Crusoe to a pale, thin, little chap lying on a bed. They had just reached the point where Robinson Crusoe first saw his man Friday, and the little fel- low had clutched the coverlet with l oth of his wan hands in his excitement, when a woman came into the room. “Oh. Mr. Wellington,” she wailed, “whatever am I go in' to do? There's that air man o' mine jest carried off to the hospital, and here’s this air sicklin’; sure and ve'll tell me what I’m to be doin'?” Tom hesitated less than a second. “You go to the hospital to your husband, Mrs. Murphy, and I will stay here with the lad. So she went, and he stayed. He read aloud until the boy's tired eyelids closed. After that he read on to himself in silence. Between one and two the woman returned. “Oh! me poor, dear husband, it's for four days he'll be stayin' in the hospital, but it's the secin’ of him that’s a-worrin’ me. with me poor darlin’ a-lvin' ♦here on the bed.” “Never mind, Mrs. Murphy, interposed Tom, 1 will come so that you can go to see your hus- band. You know the lad and 1 are interested in the story, and we want to finish it.” With tears in her eyes she thanked him. Early the next morning he wrote a note to Miss hay excusing his call that evening on the plea of absolute necessity,” but ordered violets for her. That night he went again and read to the boy until the small hours of the morning, and the mother went to the hospital: and every night until the father was brought home. Two of these nights, on his way home, he had met a Horace Randall, his only enemy. Tom had always disliked him be- cause of his sneaking disposition. Soon after this he called on Miss Fay. He no- ticed how reserved she was. Finally, her manner became unbearable, and he asked iicr if he had offended her in any way. She answered in the negative, but said something about going to the theatre and such things being an “absolute neces- sity.” At this point a young girl of about sixteen en- tered. She was rather tall with a frank, open man- ner. Tom knew at a glance it was Marion Fay's vounger sister, who had been at school in Paris for the past three years. She was very attractive, and her innocent frank- ness was a relief after the cold, reserved manner of Miss Marion. The latter, overcome with disgust, soon excused herself because of a headache. “Oh. Mr. Wellington.” asked Gladys, “arc you like the other men who come to see Marion? I think they arc perfectly unbearable; they all talk just alike, and are so socicty-fied. P� ut 1 know you are not. because T listened to you talking before I came in. Now. the other night, a Mr. Randall came, and T asked him if he was being paid for say- ing all he could against you. because he did nothing but tell about how you were going wild, and how night after night you did not go to your room until morning. Of course, he was very angry when I said that, and it resulted in my being sent out of the room Marion said she felt forced to believe what he told her. so now you sec why she treated you so horribly to-dav.” Tom did see. and it rather hurt him. But he was fascinated as Gladys talked on. and was lifted 34 SOMERVILLE IIIGII SCHOOL RADIATOR out of himself. He had never come in contact with young girls much, because he had spent all of his boyhood in a military school. Finally he asked her if she would like to go to tlie next football game, (iladys was radiant with joy. and insisted on telephoning to her father then and there. First (iladys asked him. but when he said he would talk it over with Marion and her that evening, she made Tom tell him that he was waiting to know then. Her father told them he was afraid she was too young, but Gladys teased, and her father finally consented. So they went to the game. Gladys wearing a great bunch of crimson roses, the happiest girl of all the crowd thronging to Soldiers Field. As luck would have it. four of Tom's most inti- mate classmates sat directly in front of them. Tom’s heart sank when he thought of the remarks any girl might make at her first football game, not that he would be ashamed of her mistakes, but be- cause he could not bear to think of her being laughed at. The teams came on the field, and Gladys, turning to Tom. asked. Which team is Harvard?” Tom could sec the shoulders of the fellows in front shake: nevertheless, he told her. Oh. Mr. Wellington, would you mind giving me my pocket-book? You see. I heard Marion re- citing the line-up this morning as one would learn a multiplication table. When I asked her why she did it. she told me that if you knew who were going to play, you could talk more intelligently. I thought it was silly to learn it. so I cut it out and brought it with me.” Poor Tom ! He produced the pocket-book, with its line-up. while the shoulders in front were rising and falling in rhythm. The game began, and the shoulders were at rest again. Tn the first play the left halfback plunged through the line for five yards, and the umpire called. First down! Gladys turned to Tom with a surprised look. What did that man mean by saying the first down when nearly every man on both teams was down?” Tom looked straight ahead, but not only the shoulders in front rose and fell, but the entire bodies swayed backward and forward. He ex- plained as best he could, and the game went on. What is a touchdown? was Gladys’ next ques- tion. and Tom looked beyond the shoulders. I know I must be stupid, but will you tell which side is winning?” Tom told her. And what is the score? she asked. Again Tom told her. Things went smoothly for a while, until Pom foolishly asked Gladys what she was looking for. I am watching to sec Harvard's bicycle come in. •‘What do you mean. Miss Gladys?” “Well, the man back of us just said. ’Now here is where Harvard's safety comes in,' and I have been watching to see it come. Does a clown tide it. as on the stage?” This was more-than the row in front could stand. Tom wondered what would happen: he did not rate their manners too high. Leaving their seats they went quickly down the steps. As Tom and Gladys went out at the end of the game, he caught a glimpse of four stalwart forms making their way through the crowd, still wiping the tears from their laughing eyes. Tom did not mind, because he knew how funny her remarks had been, and he saw how perfectly happy she was, and how unconscious of the amusement she had caused. The fellows never mentioned it to Tom. but four years later 'Pom told Gladys about it as they sat before the fireplace in their own home. “Tom, T have always wanted you to tell me what you did those nights in college that Randall told Marion such stories about: not. of course, that T ever doubted you for one second.” Do you really want to know, little girl? “Yes. Tom, please.” So he told her. A TALE FROM THE CAMPFIRE.

It was a comfortable, neat, little house, in a sleepy Maine village, to which we had come to spend our va- cation. We had not been there twenty-four hours before all the neighbors knew our names and our ancestry, why we had come, how long we were going to stay, and where we were going when we left. As for that matter, we knew almost as much about them, for the stage driver proved to be very social, and gave us a summary of the life of every inhabitant. What could we do in such a quiet place? We had begun to regret that we had come, when we noticed a man pasting a flaming red poster on the front of the town hall. We stopped to join the few people who were gazing at it. and found, to our surprise and delight, that the county fair would be held in a week. Below this announcement was another, saving that the “Great Attraction in the Afternoon ’ would be the race by horses owned in the village. At last the eventful day arrived. Early in the morning the farmers from adjoining towns came in ancient carryalls with their families. Soon the vil- lagers in alt their Sunday finery started for the fair grounds. We followed, and succeeded without difficulty in getting a good place near the track. Looking around us. we saw the tents for the side shows, with the inevitable loud-voiced man stand- ing near, who told to the credulous villagers the wonders to be seen within. Here and there a ped- ler. with his nodding scarlet and blue balloons, was seen, and the tov whistles which he blew so vigor- ously mingled with the shrill, discordant notes from the merrv-go-round. and came to us with rasping, nerve-racking distinctness. Soon the gong sounded, and the horses trotted out. I recognized the bay horse. Dandy, for he belonged to the village doctor. The small buck- skin. with a white star in his forehead, was owned bv the talkative stage driver, while the vicious- looking white horse. Nick, was driven by his owner, the grain dealer. The last horse was Zip. a “calico” with an ugly eye. who was owned and driven by the lawyer's son. As they swing into place, the buckskin, whose misnomer is Beauty, is next the pole, Nick second. Zip third, and Dandy on the outside. The postmaster, who has been appointed judge, takes up a battered old megaphone that his son brought home from college. After a good deal of scoring, the horses pass under the wire together. The judge raises his megaphone, glances at the trotters, then shouts. “Go!’’ This is the 2.20 class, the fastest on the track during the day. There is a sharp clatter of hoofs, a whir of wheels, and although Nick becomes entangled somewhat in his unaccustomed harness, yet all goes very well in the first heat. The excited villagers hold their breath,—the equally excited drivers strain forward, urging on their horses. Zip’s ahead! Told ye he was the best one!” “Wall, I ruther guess not, sonny. He'll play out too quick.” Then some one nearer the stand shouts. Look at Dandy! lie’s under the wire first on this heat!” At this a hush fell again on the crowd. The ] ostmastcr confers with two or three other men who have come into the stand, then takes the mega- phone carefully. Score: Dandy, 2.22; Beauty, 2.22{ ; Nick and Zip. 2.22}.” Again they line up. This time Dandy swings in next the pole. “Go!” 'I he racers speed along neck and neck until Beauty and Dandy push ahead side by side. Beauty is gaining! No! Dandy is just before him! Now they are neck and neck again! Slowly, surely, the others are gaining. Dandy begins to drag. But now Beauty pushes ahead of them all, and the second heat is won! How the villagers cheer, for Beauty is a favorite, for all his ugliness. I his time the highest score is 2.21. The boys in charge of the horses run out with wet sponges to put in the mouths of the panting trotters, and heavy blankets to throw over them. I hey walk the horses up and down before the next neat, which will decide the race. Now the judge calls for the last line-up. Beauty is on the outside with Dandy next. Again they start. Dandy is going to break! 11 is driver leans far back and pulls at the lines, but Beauty is now close beside him. and Dandy is panting hard. These two arc far ahead of Zip and Nick. Now they arc on the last quarter. Beauty is gaining, gaining! Sud- denly some one in the crowd shouts, “Go it. Beauty ! You II git thar!” Dandy is breathing with a hard rattle in his throat, and just before they get to the goal, he breaks, and Beauty, who is now almost as badly off as Dandy, makes one last effort, and staggers ahead under the wire. The megaphone is handed to the judge, who raises it with a grand flourish, and announces: “Score: Beauty wins the race in 2.20}: Dandy, second. 2.20}; Nick, third, 2.21: and Zip. last’. 2.211 Then the admirers of the winner push through the gate to the track to congratulate his owner. Small boys scuttle through the crowd, or wriggle under the fence, to be the favored one who may lead Beauty to his stable. At last, after the prizes have been awarded, and the village matrons begin to think of supper, the crowd melts away lit- tle by little. Yc stayed in that quiet little village many a day, but nothing ever happened half so exciting as that race: and even now I can see the judge solemnly and tenderly raise that battered old megaphone to call the scores: and occasionallv, in a dream. I hear the clatter of hoofs, the whir of wheels, that sharp rattle in Dandy's throat, and then the sudden call. “Go it. Beauty! You'll git thar!” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 37 A THANKSGIVING. By C. Sherwood Ricker, L., '04. I IE lorest seemed dead, and carried with it that gloom that trees casting their leafless limbs against a cloudy sky and the still cold of a November day can give. The birds had gone; the stray rabbit and partridge seemed tin only inhabitants of these tomb-like woods. It was in this New England forest two hundred years ago that a man. somewhat bent in stature, though still young, was wending his way along a seldom-trodden path. His eyes were on the ground, but he seemed oblivious to everything. Though his face was calm, almost rigid in its lack of expression, still his soul was sad. For three years this homeless wanderer of the woods had been away from his village and people. In company with fifty-three others, he had left home to avert a threatened massacre by the Indians. Since that time he and his companions had never been seen in the village. So on this Thanksgiving Day—for so it happened to be—he seemed to have little to be thankful for. « In the little village of Dacre on this day of thanksgiving, Elder Holmes was addressing his congregation of simple-hearted and devoutly re- ligious souls. ‘‘Three years ago to-day, beloved brethren, those fifty-four left us; never have they returned. Turn your souls to God, and pray that they have gone to their Maker. On bended knee the devout congregation offered up its prayer. ’ $ Late that Thanksgiving afternoon the word “In- dians was brought to the guards. The gates were scarcely closed, when in the neighboring forest was heard the war-whoop—the one sound that froze the blood of these hardy colonists—that made the women and children cower together, and the men’s brave hearts almost stop beating. Soon the hideous yell that told of the Indian as- sault was heard. The brave pioneers, with sinking hearts, but with resolute courage, prepared for the final test. With reckless Indian bravery the war- tiors strove to climb the wooden battlements, but were as often hurled back, prostrated by the blow of a musket. The place outside was strewn with the Indian dead. Inside and on the walls the num- bers were fast thinning. Many who were wounded still held the muskets at their shoulders. At last but seven men were withstanding a force many times their number. It was but a matter of time, and. sick at heart, these seven kept on firing. P.y the part of the wall that the village minister guarded the fight seemed fiercest. He was slowlv being overcome bv numbers. The good man slipped—he barely saved himself from falling, but a big warrior had gained the top of the barricade, and. with uplifted tomahawk, had the minister’s life in his hands: but at this moment the sharp crack of a rifle was heard; a bullet had sped from the forest, and the death cry of the warrior rang out on the air. This unlooked-for aid was unexplained. Every warrior, nevertheless, that attempted to scale the barricade at the minister’s section fell dead, shot by the invisible rifle from the woods. Superstitious, the Indians soon began to fear the minister and his hidden help, and made attacks elsewhere. The rifle in the woods kept on with its deadly work; their numbers were fast thinning. From an unde- fended portion of the stockade came the Indians’ triumphant veil. Their new leader had gained the top. and with lighted brand had started to hurl it toward the church. Again the death-shot from the woods echoed. The warrior fell: a second and third in quick succession were laid low; then, as a climax, came the war-whoop of the terrible Iroquois, the effect was immediate. Not a red man was to be seen; the woods were silent. The seven men looked at each other, amazed. They had merited no such kindness from that terrible tribe. From the gate there came a loud knocking. ‘ Who’s there? demanded the minister. One who rejoices to find you alive, father.” Each recognized the other’s voice. My son. my son! the good man cried, as he opened the gates. The son rushed to his arms. The father and the men now understood about the mysterious bullets which seemed to have come from heaven. Outside the church, men. women, and children gathered around their saviour. They had thought him dead: he had saved them from death. With fast-beating hearts and tear-stained faces they heard his simple tale. He had escaped after three years of hardship and suffering. Many of his poor companions had suffered at the stake. ’Twas a strange story. He had aroused compas- sion in an Indian maiden’s heart. By this means onlv had he escaped. On his way home he had heard the battle cry of the Indians. Realizing the foolhardiness of attempting to reach the stockade, he perched himself in a sheltering tree that com- manded the open, and had thus saved his friends. He had despaired of keeping them back much longer, when the idea of the war-whoop, now well known to him. had flashed across his mind. On a stretcher of boughs, the dying mother was brought into the circle. By the boy’s side stood his father. About the circle were the wounded men and the women and children. The boy had thought his mother dead. She recognized him. “My son. mv beloved son! She raised herself. He rushed to her and knelt beside her. A new light came into her eyes—she kissed her boy on the forehead. The woman was healed. God had given her new life. All instinctively knelt, and there in the twilight the little village raised its soul in thanksgiving. 'Twas. indeed, a time for thanks- giving. 38 SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE LAST REHEARSAL. By May S. North, S. E. H. S., '03. IN A, come closer, my child. The light is getting dim, and I cannot see you. Why is it so dark? Nina, I say, where arc you? It's your old Grand- pa that's calling you.” Here, Grandpa. I am close beside you. It is your own little Nina. Don’t you feel my arms about your neck? It is not dark, Grand- pa. The candle is shining as brightly as ever. There, lie down and go to sleep. Nina will stay close beside you and hold your hand. Outside the night was chill and dismal. The cold November rain, the sobbing wind, and the dead and falling leaves were in perfect accord with the pathetic little scene taking place within the cot- tage. A poor, solitary candle, which was fast diminish- ing in size, shone out bravely with a flickering glow, but its little brightness only served to make the dense shadows in the corners more vague and un- real. In the furthest corner from the door upon a rude cot lay an old white-haired man. His black, burning eyes, which were trying to pierce the gath- ering gloom and darkness, were deep-set and looked too large for his pale, thin face. And the child? Ah. the child with the wondrously beautiful brown eyes so like the old man's was kneeling beside the cot. her dark tangled curls mingling with the silvery locks upon the pillow. Go to sleep. Grandpa, go to sleep ' she repeated softly, gently patting his hand as she spoke. Bui the old man's tired brain was wandering, and lie rambled on in short, disconnected sentences. There is no sleep for me until after the Grand Concert, and this is the last rehearsal, you know. . . . Play your best to-night, boys. Ready now. Struggling to a sitting position, the dying musi- cian raised one trembling hand. Remember. Soft at the beginning. Now. crescendo, crescendo! Ah !” lie fell back limply upon the pillow and looked wonderingly but lovingly at the little girl who was now sobbing unrestrainedly. “What's the matter, dearie? Was Grandpa talk- ing in his sleep again? he asked tenderly, smooth- ing the dark ringlets. There, there, Nina, don’t crv. Grandpa's all right now. Poor child, poor child r Still the raindrops pattered against the window- panes, still the wind sobbed drearily, and still the little candle flickered, flickered, but just so many minutes less would the old man be with the child, and just so many minutes less would the child have a protector. “Nina, bring me the violin now.” So saying, the old man painfully raised himself, while the little girl arranged the pillows behind him. Then, opening a battered old wooden case, she placed in his hands a violin. Age had softened and blended together the colors of the instrument, which was originally a rich dark red shaded into a golden brown, and its soft curves, beautifully shaped body, and slender neck proclaimed what it really was. a genuine old St radi varius violin. As the old man gazed at it tenderly, a flood of memo- ries came floating back from the past, and a large tear-drop rolled down his wasted check and fell upon the violin. Ah, 1 love it so. he whispered. It has been with me through all my toil and trouble, and has never left my side, even for a day. Next to you, Nina, the old fiddle has first place in my heart. (live me the bow. dearie.” I can play no more, he murmured faintly. It is for you—my child. Take it and play. Play your best for—this is—the last rehearsal,—the last time 1 shall ever hear its sweet tones.” Taking it from him. the still weeping child lifted the bow. placed it lovingly upon the strings, and began to play. Softly, oh, how softly, the sweet, limpid tones breathed forth from the violin. The music seemed full of tears, even as the eyes of the child. On and on she played, the dreamy, echoing notes full of sorrow, sadness, and pity. Ah! what a picture for an artist. In the background, indistinct among the shadows, the dying musician with his dark eyes fixed upon the little figure before him. In the fore- ground. the child, with her curling hair and lumin- ous eyes, and tear-stained cheek resting caress- ingly upon the violin. Slowly the music changes from sorrow to sun- shine. Faster and faster, and still faster, the clear, rippling notes swell out. Sighs and tears arc a thing of the past. All is happiness, love and smiles. You can hear the caroling of birds, and the joyous laughter of children. The raging storm outside, the cold, cheerless room, the dying musician, even her own pitiable plight, arc all forgotten. All she sees, hears, and feels is the. music, the wonderful music that fills her soul. Still the old man's gaze is centered upon the child, and the child's whole heart is centered in the violin. The little candle flares up. sputters, then all is darkness. Still she plays on. laughing softly and whispering to the violin. The violin seems to laugh and answer back, and the player revels in her power. Suddenly a quick snap, a broken string, and Nina remembers. With a cry of Grandpa, oh. Grandpa. she drops down beside the bed, and throws her little arms around him. He speaks not, and the silvery head. cold, cold as marble, lies heavily in the arms of the child. Again, that piti- able. heart-broken cry. Grandpa, speak to me.” Rut there is no answer. Only the sound of the wind, the rain, and the falling leaves. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 39 Entre Nous.

Somerville played its first league game October 1 ! on Broadway Field, when it played Cambridge High to a standstill. Cambridge kicked o:T to Hafford. By straight football we advanced the ball to the middle of the field, where Cambridge held for downs. Somer- ville held for downs, and Wvman circled the end for thirty-five yards, and Burton tore seven yards off the other end. Philbrick was sent over for a touchdown. Burton kicked the goal. Somerville now played a punting game, and Cambridge was unable to gain an inch. Mc- Laughlin was sent over the line for three touch- downs in rapid succession. Burton and Bean kicked the goals. For Somerville. Allen. Mc- Laughlin. and Wyman excelled, and for Cambridge Taylor and Church were towers of strength. The line-up:— Somerville High. Cambridge High. Haflford. Cameron, l.e.....r.c..

Somerville, 23; Cambridge Latin. October 28 Somerville played Cambridge Latin a practice game. Somerville played a snappy game, while the visitors lacked that essential. For Somerville. Prichard. Dickinson, and Burns ex- celled, and for Cambridge Taft and Church played well. Boston Latin, 12; Somerville High, 0. Boston Latin visited Broadway Field November 1 and administered a defeat to our boys. The visi- tors were much heavier than our team, and our line was unable to stop the formation plays directed against it. In the first half. Boston Latin, by fierce assaults on our line, pushed our team backward and scored two touchdowns. Tn the second half, with the score 12-0 against us. Somerville played a stubborn defensive game, and did not allow the Boston boys to cross our line once. For Somerville. Goode and Allen excelled, and Captain Hanley and O'Donnell gained many yards for B. L. S. Somerville, 28; Dorchester, 0. October 25 Somerville, with the exception of the first five minutes of play, outplayed and out- generaled Dorchester High. Dorchester kicked off to Hafford on Somerville’s 10-yard line. Somerville's attempt to punt was blocked, and a Dorchester man fell on the ball. The Dorchester backs found our line a stone wall, and were forced to give up the ball on downs. Somerville punted, and Dorchester rushed the ball to our 10-yard line, only to lose it on a fumble, which Goode gathered in. and ran the length of the field for a touchdown. This touchdown was not allowed, on the claim that the ball was dead. Som- erville gained ten yards around right end. but fum- bled the ball, and a Dorchester man was on it in a flash. Dorchester fooled our end on a delayed pass, but the runner was tackled by Currier, thus saving a touchdown. Somerville now took a brace, and Hafford. aided by good interference, ran seventy yards for a touchdown. Dorchester kicked off to Burton, who gained twenty yards. Dorchester held for downs, and Halford punted. Dorchester was unable to gain, and Burton went around right end for forty yards, and Allen was pushed over for a touchdown. In the second half. Somerville played a whirlwind game, carrying Dorchester off its feet. Somerville was able to gain at will. Hafford and McLaughlin making some brilliant runs. Three touchdowns were scored in this half. The line-up:— Somerville. Dorchester. Goode, l.c...........................r.e.. Ross Nickerson, Philbrick. l.t..................r.t..

Our team had not entirely gotten over the effects of Saturday's game with Boston Latin, and the work was rather ragged at times, although in the second half we got into the game with the right spirit. English High, 0; Somerville, 0. November 15. Boston English High and Somer- ville High met on Broadway field. It was an ideal football day. and the immense crowd taxed the field to its utmost. The game started at half-past two by Hafford kicking off to Sheen, who was downed in his tracks. Somerville's line held like a wall, and Fitzgerald punted to Cuddy in back of the goal. Hafford punted from the 25-yard line to the middle of the field. Boston was soon forced to punt, and again the ball rolled behind the goal line. Hafford again punted from the 25-yard line to the middle of the field. Allen went through the line for ten yards, and again for seven. McLaughlin tore through the same hole for thirteen more. Mc- Laughlin and Allen were repeatedly forced through the line for steady gains, until we reached high school’s 10-yard line, where we lost the ball on a fumble by Allen. Boston attempted to gain around our right end. but Dickinson, by a fine tackle, threw the runner for a loss. Fitzgerald punted to Cuddy, who ran it back ten yards. Time was called with the ball in the centre of the field. In the second half. Boston kicked to Wood- worth. who ran it back twenty yards. In attempt- 46 SOMliRVILLI : HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ing to punt. IIafford dropped the ball and Boston got the pigskin. With the ball on our 15-vard line in English High’s possession, our outlook was anything but bright. Somerville was penalized for being off-side, and Sheen made four yards through centre, bringing the ball to our one-yard line. For three rushes directed at our left line, high school failed to gain an inch, and Somerville again pulled themselves out of a hole by punting to the 30-yard line, where the punt was fumbled and Goode fell on it. Prichard circled the end for ten yards, and McLaughlin shot through right tackle for eight more. Somerville again punted, and Boston returned to Currier, who ran the punt back fifteen yards. Time was called with the ball on high school’s 35-yard line. The line-up:— The Bouve-Sterling Shoe $2.50 FOR MEN ANI) BOVS. ALL THE LATEST STYLES.

With December's snow comes the greatest day of all the year. Let us forget animosities and misfortune while wc add a voice to the chorus of praise of Him whose birthday we honor this month. Let us bury the past, while we build great hopes upon the future. Let us be thankful for our many blessings, lest we forget to notice them because of their continued presence. And when, on Christmas Day, we gather around the hoard amid food and drink galore, and a glitter of Christmas gifts and remem- brances all about, let us pause a moment to give a thought to the real significance of the day. 52 SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'J'HE Radiator wishes its patrons a Merry Christmas, plenty of presents, and a good di- gestion on the twenty-sixth. A Happy New Year to all, and numerous good resolutions—there is sonic good in even making the latter. v. JN ancient times the standard of a man’s wealth was cattle; in recent times it has been gold; but now it is coal. It It K It 'J'HE first Senior social was an unconditional suc- cess. The night was cold, but a large attend- ance assured the committee of the appreciation of their work. The programme was interesting, and of an agreeable length for such a function. There was not a place in it that dragged. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter and Mr. and Mrs. Whitcomb honored the occasion with their presence. The dancing was not the least interesting part of the evening. The committee are to be congratulated on the success of their first social. The patronage of so large a number of students, all the hall would comfortably contain, and the atmosphere of satisfaction and pleasure that pervaded the whole evening is con- vincing proof that this year’s Senior classes contain good material for a delightful last year in the High School. r k 'J' 11 ERE arc few students who could not be bene- fited by an active interest in the Debating Club. But too little interest is shown in it, un- fortunately. Attend some day, and be convinced how much of an advantage it would be to be able to make a good address before an audience. r r 'J'HE hope of an office for the Radiator has been burned up,—in the coal famine. it k k r JT is exceedingly gratifying to note the esteem in which the Radiator is held by our exchanges. Many of them say it is unexcelled, and wonder at the great store of school spirit it reflects. Well may they wonder, and so do we. The Freshmen and Sophomores seem to have as much spirit as the others. This is as it should be. Long live school patriotism! r 'J'HE clubs and associations of all kinds arc again admonished that delayed notes arc apt to be rejected. It is the little things that keep us busi- est ; and we cannot load any unnecessary frag- ments upon the high pile that now looms up before us with every issue. THE football championship, alas, has gone to the C. M. T. S. After months of hard work, the boys of red and blue lost the prize they were striv- ing so heroically to win. They certainly made a good stand at the test game, out in a drizzling rain and sticky mud, against a team clearly too heavy for them. But their opponents had hungered long to beat Somerville. Let them have it this time. vt r r 'J'HE time for basket ball has come. Let us re- joice and be glad, for this is a wholesome, civilized game. Support it, everybody. It will do more to bring the two schools together than any other game, for they must assemble indoors, and cannot help meeting each other. The teams are organizing rapidly, and let us hope that basket ball will become of real importance this winter. PHRISTMAS presents are being bought by the score now. and perhaps it is a fitting time to suggest again the patronage of our advertisers. Remember, that if it were not for them, the Radiator could not be sold for less than twenty- five cents. Money—hard money—is required to produce the paper; and this month, when many purchases arc being made, pray look carefully to sec who our advertisers are. It is only fair to sup- port them, but they insist that it is not being done. Think the matter over, at least, and duty will be plain. ? ? ! ! JILITARY matters are a prominent feature of current thought now. Until the strike news crowded everything else out, the United States military experiments were attracting widespread attention. Hence, is it appropriate to have for a leading article this month some impressions of the Kaiser's army, by Miss Bailey, of the English School facultv. The illustrations are imported, and we believe that the picture of the Kaiser in this issue is absolutely new in America. , ! JT is hoped that the Christmas Radiator will meet with approval. An effort has been made to make it appropriate, with timely stories, and a cover in keeping with the season. The cover is unique, and we believe it to be the first of its kind to adorn the Radiator. E rejoice to see Miss Tuell and Miss Ingram again at their posts of duty, and regret that Miss Harrington and Miss Seaver are absent on account of illness. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 53 IN THE SERVICE OF THE KAISER. By Esther Bailey. VEX in these modern prosaic days we are all, to some extent, hero-wor- shippers. If the gentle Knight is no longer to be seen Pricking on the plainc, Ycladd in mightic armes and silver shiclde,” we shall be pardoned if we gaze with undisguised interest upon his modern representative,—degen- erated possibly, but still picturesque,—the soldier of to-day. We may argue against bearing arms as a profession; we may lament the burden of taxa- tion which a large standing army entails, and the hardship of giving up two valuable years in early manhood to military ser- vice; but the power and effectiveness of the great military system of Ger- many seems unquestion- able. Military rank is still supreme socially, German mother's highest ambition is to see her son wearing shoulder straps. The German officer's life is hedged in by a host of strict regulations and petty rules of etiquette: he must always wear his uni- form in public: he never carries an umbrella nor a bundle; he may attend only the best theatres, and he must not sit in the upper gallery; his uniform must be immaculate, and the number of pairs of fresh white gloves he wears in a week is appall- ing; but he is always more or less of a joy to behold, and he knows it. While the soldier, on or off duty, is so common a part of every scene, there arc a few occasions when he becomes especially prominent. At the regular parades all the soldiers in the garrisons of a certain district appear together for review, and the spectator, particularly if he is an American, the standing army of whose native land may be out- numbered by the soldiers of Berlin and its suburbs alone, realizes something of the physical, mental, and moral training which Germany’s military sys- tem brings to all its able-bodied men. The arrival of a ticket admitting to the l all Parade on the Tcmpclhofcr Feld. August thirtieth, was welcomed with especial joy by the Americans in our little Berlin household. Since the entrance of the King of Italy, two days before, the city had worn a festive appearance. The parade would be a fitting climax to the brief visit of our honored guest. It was a perfect morning, clear and cool, with a sky blue enough to rival even that of sunny Italy. The city was up betimes, and a tide of barouches, the only carriages admitted to the Feld, and people on foot planning to line the avenue of approach to the parade ground, streamed steadily toward the south of the city. Again, as on every occasion where a German crowd figured, we were filled with admiration for the skill with which the police handle a crowd. After such an exhibition one is inclined to state with conviction that obedience is Germany’s first law.” On reaching the field, our barouche was expeditiously packed away with hundreds of others in one corner of the field in a great solid square. The mounted po- lice directed every Kuts- chcr just where to drive and just where to halt to an inch, and there to the inch he stationed his car- riage. There was no crowding to secure good positions, no questioning, no arguing, no swearing. Isn’t it simple? Just mili- tary obedience. Then for an hour we watched the soldiers come into the field, company after company, infantry, cavalry, artillery, engi- neers. Like pieces on a vast chess board they were swept hither and thither, advanced, halted, and wheeled, until out of ap- parent chaos developed order, and they came to rest in two long columns extending across the field, with a wide space between. Promptly at ten—the Kaiser is always on the minute—came the royal party: the Kaiser, the Kaiscrin. and the King of Italy on horseback, the little Prinzessin Victoria and the youngest son, Prinz Joachim, with other royal relatives in car- riages. They went slowly down the front of the first division, the Kaiser calling Guten Morgen! to each regiment, while his greeting was drowned in cheers and music. So he went down in front of one division and came back in front of the other, the parts of the first being wheeled around as he left them, so as to face in toward the other division. Meanwhile, with the same police skill, we were unpacked from our corner and sent over to the re- WILHEI.M II. 54 SOMKRVILLI : HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR view place, where the carriages were stretched out in three long lines, that is three deep, all facing in. We were luckily near the reviewing party, and so had a good view of everything. And then the two divisions, nearly forty thou- sand soldiers in all, were marched by, each preceded by its band, which halted opposite the reviewing party, played until the last line passed, and then broke off abruptly in the middle of a bar to give place to the next. As the first company ap- proached the reviewing party, the Kaiser himself rode out and led it by. as a pretty compliment to the honored guest King Victor Emmanuel. Prinz Oscar, recently promoted to a captaincy, marched at the head of his company. But the soldiers and the officers—how can one give a proper idea! For where can be found a comparison for a handsome German officer in uni- form and on horseback? How can one explain the varied gorgeousness of Ilusaren. Kuerassierc. great crowd of carriages left the field easily and quickly, and we reached home with our eyes still dazzled, our ears still ringing with martial music. After the Fall Parade, the annual manoeuvres begin, when the soldiers are put through a sham campaign, with all the hardships of camp life, forced marches, entrenching and fighting of real warfare, save that the enemy is a similar body of comrades and the guns carry no deadly charge. At the close of the manoeuvres, after days and nights of the hardest kind of work, the signal for the long halt is a welcome sound. To one part it means a return to the routine of garrison life. To many, however, it has a deeper meaning, for it marks the close of the military year, and signifies the end of military service. One September morning after the manoeuvres were over, a party of American students left the old university town of Goettingen for a day's ex- cursion into the country. The train carried us THE ASSEMBLED OFFICERS AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF HIS MAJESTY ON TEMPE1.H0P PELD. Ulaneti, Gardes du Corps, Gardejaeger, and all the rest? Here is one attempt. The Gardes du Corps, though not so vivid as some, were, perhaps, the most stunning.” They wore a white uniform trimmed with-scarlet pipings and facings and gold braid, a gold cuirass with a silver sash across the breast, a gold helmet surmounted by a silver spread eagle with a tiny gold crown on its head. Gloves, saddle, and saddle cloth were also in white and scarlet and gold, and the high black cavalry boots added an effective touch. The Garde-Kue- rassiere wear a similar uniform, only blue where the Gardes du Corps' is scarlet. Over the horses alone we were filled with enthusiasm. So many beauti- ful, perfectly-trained horses! We saw not one un- ruly steed, and the lines and wheeling of the cav- alry seemed faultless. For two hours in an almost unbroken column the soldiers marched by in review. After passing the reviewing party the officers left their regiments and assembled to await the Kaiser’s criticism, which always closes the parade, knowing well that no little slip has escaped his Majesty's sharp eye. Then under the same careful police direction the through a rural landscape, past little clusters of red-roofed houses and broad stretches of cultivated fields, where the peasants were busy harvesting potatoes. Men, women, and children worked side i� y side. All, even to the youngest, seemed to re- lied in face and figure the monotony of a life of toil, unlightened by hope of change. The car behind ours was filled with a noisy crowd of soldiers, just released from military ser- vice. who were celebrating their new liberty with too much energy. The train stopped at a village station and a single soldier got down. His com- rades swung their caps and shouted all sorts of farewell words after him. He started mechani- cally for the exit gate, then his pace slackened, he halted and looked after the moving train. The old life had much severity, but it meant food and cloth- ing and jolly comradeship, all with no care for the morrow. The peasant life in the country, with its unceasing toil and care and monotony, lie knew all too well. The soldier must turn farmer. With an expression of regret and homesick longing lie looked once more after the moving train, and then turned slowly homeward. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 Late one September afternoon we heard voices singing on the street in from of our Berlin pen- sion. From the window we looked down upon a band of young men, perhaps fifty in number, led by a young officer. A second glance showed that they were not all students, though some wore the gay-colored caps of university corps. They were evidently of various classes and conditions, me- chanic and student and farmer, shoulder to shoul- der. Their fresh young faces wore a look of ear- nestness. The new recruits were being escorted to their quarters to enter upon their military service. As they marched thev sang a well-known Soldaten- lied Steir ich in fmstrer Mitternacht So einsam auf dcr stillen Wacht. So denk' ich an mein femes Lieb. Ob mir's auch treu und hold verblieb?” Many carried little bundles. Their lines were somewhat ragged. The military bearing, the ma- chine-like swing, would come later. To-day in civilian clothes they sang as they marched. To- morrow in the uniform of the Kaiser they would go on duty in silence. Mein Hcrz schlaegt warm in kalter Nacht, Wcnn es an's treuc Lieb gedacht. In the dusk and the distance the voices had a homesick sound. Schlaf wolil im stillen Kacmmerlein, Und denk in deinen Tracumen mein! A new year in the service of the Kaiser had begun. THE CAPTAIN'S STORY. By William Jennings, L., ’03. JT was a joyous party that gathered at the home of Captain Harding on Christmas. Around the table, bc- sides the members of the family, were many of his old companions who in the past had shared with him the perils of the deep. After supper the company repaired to the sitting room, with its blazing open fire, where with music, jest, and story the evening was happily spent. In a momentary lull someone laughingly remarked, Well, what in the world ails the Captain? He looks as solemn as a judge.” Come, out with it,” cried another. “Of what were you thinking? Well, it was of a Christmas, when I was cap- tain of the steamship Orient, then engaged in the East India trade, that I was thinking. Let’s see. that was fifteen years ago. wasn’t it. Jenny?” Yes,” replied Mrs. Harding. “On this voyage of which I am about to speak I was feeling in better spirits than usual. It's funny now as I look back on it, to think how a little thing had changed me. I did not notice it very much myself, but it must have been so, for my officers and many of my passengers remarked concerning mv buoyant spirits and exceeding good nature. The reason for my happiness was that for the first time in twenty years I expected to be home for Christmas, and stand with Jcnnv and my little boy under the mistletoe, li every- thing went right and the ship made schedule time, and there was every reason to believe it would. I would tic up in dock the night before Christmas. “As you well know, friends, the life of those who go down to the sea in ships is at all times hazardous and uncertain, as has been well exem- plified in my own past life. One time I felt cer- tain that I should make port in time for the holi- days, but to my great chagrin I was compelled to take shelter at the Azores. At another time the shaft broke, and two entire days were lost, which prevented my getting home for Christmas. Fi- nally, the year before. I was compelled to wait just outside the harbor on account of a thick fog which had spread its ghostly wings over the sea. That fog, like an evil genius, held us powerless in its clammy folds for the express purpose, it seemed, of delaying us. Finally, on account of my past experience and this last demonstration, I was led to think, with a sailor's superstition, I sup- pose, that fate had destined that I should not make port at Christmas. On such occasions when I got home. Jenny always greeted me with 'O, John. I thought surely you would be home to enjoy Christmas with us! We missed you so much. It’s a wretched shame that you can't spend just one Christmas with us. I do heartily wish you would arrange it so you could spend at least one.' But to all such outbursts on the part of Jenny I usually answered. ‘Next year I’ll surely manage affairs so as to be in port for the holidays, and we’ll have, for once, a jolly good time; so have patience with me.’ Before starting home on this voyage, I re- ceived a letter from Jenny telling me to get home on time, and that everything would be in readiness for an enjoyable Christmas. Now after twenty years of waiting and disappointment, I was at last 56 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR to realize my long-felt desire. On our way home we stopped at Liverpool to take some merchandise aboard. I can well remember how I walked down the gang-plank at that port. I felt like a boy again. How wonderful the effect of joy on us! It seems to add new life. Such. I assure you, was my case on that occasion. There is often more pleasure in the anticipation than in the realiza- tion of our hopes, and I was, I assure you, friends, enjoying my anticipation to the full. 1 always managed to bring home some remem- brance for Jenny and my boy, which partly made up for what I missed. For it is in giving that we invariably obtain happiness. Well, at any rate, on this occasion I was making a strenuous effort to obtain something which would be suitable for Jenny and bring joy to my boy. Jack. Of course I had collected a few things from the East, but in Liverpool I wanted some articles appropriate for Christmas gifts. That was why many a Liverpool shopkeeper thought I was mighty fussy. Finally, after much walking and questioning of salesmen as to what was suitable for women and boys. 1 made my way back to my ship, loaded with gifts, and with a light heart. “Everything went in accordance with my de- sires. The ship cleared port on time, and soon, to my unbounded delight, we were ploughing our way westward. At last. I thought, for once I am to enjoy Christmas at home. 1 tell you. friends, you may wonder at my anxiety and my happiness at the prospect of get- ting home, but if you hadn't spent a Christmas at home for twenty years. I'm thinking you would have been as anxious as I was. On more than one occasion during the trip from Liverpool, there flit- ted before my mind the cosy little cottage as it nes- tled among the green hills of mv native state, sur- rounded with a grove of birch and pine. I could see the door wide open, and Jenny watching and peering into the darkness for me. Again I was sitting before the fire entertaining Jenny and Jack with stories of the East: again I could hear the wind roaring in the chimney, while the snow beat against the pane, and all the time I could hear Jenny singing her favorite songs. It was in the midst of one of these reveries, towards the end of the voyage, that I was called on deck. All day it had been blowing hard, and instead of abating, towards evening it had in- creased in violence. I had half expected that we should have a severe storm, for the day before low. swift-flying clouds could be seen all day passing overhead, while that night a gray ring appeared around the moon, and there was every indication of a stiff blow. “When I gained the deck I saw that we had run into the teeth of a howling northeaster. We furled sail, battened down the hatches, and got ready to ride the storm. For three days the wind blew a hurricane, the sea rose mountains high, and twice we were on our beam ends. It was a frightful gale. On the third night we saw rockets from some ship in distress, and despite the fact that we had all we could do to care for ourselves, I gave the order to answer the signal and bear down to aid her. She signalled to stand by during the night and rescue the crew in the morning. Wow. friends, for the first time in my life a feeling of rebellion to what I considered my duty took possession of me. I felt that Providence was trying in some way to make my lot a hard one. You recollect that all the time I had my heart set on getting home on time, and now came this com- mand of duty. I confess I hesitated. A hundred excuses came to my mind. A cruel fate. I said, has lured me to be at hand at this time. I saw, in complying, all my hopes dashed to naught. “However, my hesitation was not long, and I made immediate reply that I would stand by till morning. In the morning we set alxmt the work of rescue. Through a glass I could make out men clinging to the rigging, and I could see at a glance that the ship would go down in a few hours. 1 decided to act at once, so I called out. ‘Who will volunteer to go in the boat?' At first not a man moved, but when I called 'Who will follow me?’ the first mate yelled out. Heavens, captain, you'll be surely lost; no boat could live a minute in such a sea.’ 'Who’ll come?’ I cried again. 'I,’ said the third mate, 'you stay aboard. I'll command the boat.' Xo wonder the lads hesitated and turned pale In the second attempt the third mate had his arm broken, and 1 had to take command or give it up. Finally, a boat was launched and started for the wreck. It was too rough to board her. so we got under her lee, and the crew, one by one. jumped over and we picked them up. I asked a sailor as I hauled him into the boat how many remained. Xo one but the captain and a boy.’ he replied. When we arose on the next wave I saw the tall form of a man standing on the aft rail. I had just time to see that nc had something or someone on his back when he plunged into the sea. 'Careful, men!' I cried, and the next moment I had the man fast and was hauling him in when he cried, 'The boy first, sir.’ I grasped the lad. and when he turned up his pale face to mine he cried out.‘Father! father, save me!’ He was my boy, my only son, whom I left safe at home.” Here the voice of the old captain quivered, and when he had wiped away a tear, he continued: After some difficulty we were all pulled safely on board, and soon after the disabled ship disappeared from sight. After the rescued party had been properly cared for. I learned how my boy came to be aboard. He had of late been getting restless and a hankering for the sea had taken possession of him, and but a week ago he had shipped as cabin boy in the lost schooner. Then it began to dawn on me that Providence in denying me was kind indeed. Again and again, I thanked the good Lord for delaying me and thus enabling me to res- cue my boy. So. friends, on this blessed birthday let us once more thank God for his goodness to the children of men.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 57 THE STORY OF THE OLD AMATI. By Eda N. Fitch, E., '05. E were sitting together, Carl and I. He held my hand, and after gazing fondly at me for a few minutes, he said. I'm afraid, old friend, that we’ll have to part. You sec we’ve about come to the end of our resources.” and he drew from his pocket a solitary dime. If there were anything left 1 would sell it. but everything is gone but you. my old violin, and you must leave me now. Carl was right; everything had been pawned, one thing after another, until I alone remained, and now my turn had come. Things had not always been tints. 1 had originally belonged to a rich young man. who. out of gratitude to Carl for once saving his life, had made him a present of me. Carl had had a good position in an orchestra, but on losing it, he had not been able to get another, and so we had come to the end of our means. It was a very sad occasion that last evening Carl and I spent together, and he showed his sorrow at our parting in the melancholy music he played. He scarcely put me down during the whole even- ing. for. lie said, with a slight catch in his voice. We must improve the time, for it is our last op- portunity of being together.” His face looked so pale and haggard, and his eyes gazed on me so mournfully that I knew he was trying to become reconciled to the thought of parting with the old violin that had so long been his partner. At last Carl placed me in the case, and putting on his hat and threadbare coat, we proceeded out of the house. The night was very cold, and Carl’s old coat was but a slight protection from the driv- ing sleet that fell. We hurried down several short streets until we came to a small shop. Carl paused before the door, as if loth to enter, and muttered huskily as he pressed me to him, “Well, little friend, we might as well do it one time as another.” Then he opened the door and we entered a dimlv lighted room filled with all sorts of things, from a worn overcoat to a plated watch. A brisk little man with a hooked nose came for- ward from a room at the back, and as Carl stated his business, became immediately very suspicious. I was taken from the case and eyed distrustfully from head to foot before the little Jew would ven- ture to make an offer. In spite of Carl’s repeated assurance that I was a genuine Amati violin, the little man stuck obstinately to his offer. At last the bargain was made, and I was sold at a ridicu- lously small price. While the pawnbroker was in the back room of his shop getting the money. Carl raised me to his shoulder, and said, as lie drew the bow. “Just once more for old times’ sake, my com- rade.” When the Jew returned and handed him the money, he gave me one longing look and hur- ried from the shop. The little hooked-nosed man chuckled as he placed me in the window, evidently thinking of the good bargain he had made. 1 lay there thinking and wishing, oh. so much, that I were back in the barren attic resting against the shoulder of my companion while he drew strains of music from me. All the following day I lay there, hoping to catch a glimpse of Carl, or that he might be able in some unlooked-for way. to purchase me back. Towards evening on the second day, an elderly man passing the window happened to glance in and see me. He stopped short, and after gazing at me for a moment, exclaimed, “Upon my word! A genuine Amati!” He entered the shop, and after a short parley with the pawnbroker, I became the property of I)r. Green, a physician of some means. That night and many succeeding ones I spent in the study of Dr. Green’s home. My life was very pleasant here, but I never forgot Carl, and longed for him hourly. I often wondered if he were alive, for now he had no violin to earn his living with. So my life ran on very quietly, until one memor- able evening, as I was lying in Dr. Green’s study, I heard him telling a friend how he had come to get me. a real Amati, out of a pawnshop. As the con- versation went on, lie said, “That reminds me of a patient I have at the hospital, who has interested the very much of late. He is a young musician, with a serious accident not long ago. and while delirious he called constantly for his violin. He kept repeating that he had but a dime: that he didn’t want to part with his old Amati. To- morrow I shall take this violin to him, as he is somewhat better.” I was much pleased to hear this from the good doctor, for it was very tiresome staying in the study from one week's end to another. The next day he t x)k me to the hospital with him. and as we approached the bed of the man in question, T thought that the head looked somewhat familiar. It was Carl, grown very thin and pale, but still it was he. and I was overjoyed, you may be sure. Carl's eyes slowly opened as the doctor came to the bedside, and how his pale features lighted up as the doctor placed me in his hands. The doctor thought that Carl was delighted at having a violin in his hands, but when he knew that Carl was my previous owner, lie was as pleased as we were. Thereupon he presented me to Carl. Carl grew rapidly better, and many a strain of music made bv me comforted the surrounding sick ones in the hospital before we were both dis- charged from the hospital. Times have changed for us. and we now live on a comfortable salary together. In the evening we sit together and often think of the time when we were separated, but we have decided that we can- not get along without one another. 58 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A SOLDIER’S CHRISTMAS. By Harold S. Libby, L. '04. ARK and gloomy for the American army was the Christmas day of 1776. The poor, exhausted troops, losing ground at every point, slowly re- treating. had at last put the Dela- ware river between themselves and their pursuers, while they rested their weary bodies and awaited the command of Washington to re- treat or to advance. The day itself was gloomy. The sun had wrestled vainly with the clouds, but had at last re- tired. defeated. As night approached, the wind rose, and was now sweep- ing with terrific force about the chimneys and window shutters of an old house which stood near the bank of the Delaware river, now choked with cakes of ice, which the wind was grinding against one another with a singu- lar fantastical and fore- boding sound. Within the house, how- ever. all was snug and warm. The fireplace was piled high with logs, and the bright llame leaped merrily up the chimney, casting a flickering light upon the plastered walls. All was suggestive of the comfort and happiness of the owner, who was stand- ing at one of the large windows, from which lie could barely discern the troubled waters of the Delaware. That John Lee was a peaceful man who little desired war could be seen at a glance. He had a countenance as fair as a woman’s, and eyes which seemed to have naught to do but sparkle and flash with fun and good cheer. His wife had died before lie had come from England, and he was left with a daughter, to whom he owed his present happiness and joy. As beautiful as the firelight itself was Alice Lee. Her countenance, like her father’s, was fair and pleasing, and in her eyes shone all the mirth and merriment which characterized his. She was sit- ting in a chair near the fire, whose light shone upon her face as she gazed into its calm, tranquil depths. The third occupant of the room was a young man of about twenty-five years, lie was seated near the fireplace in a large armchair, his head thrown back and his feet stretched toward the blaze, lie wore the uniform of a British soldier, while the heavy riding boots and the sword which lie had laid on the table proclaimed the cavalry. His features were prominent, and his countenance, unlike those of his friends, was dark, lie was a frequent visitor at the old mansion, as John Lee, although pretending neutrality in the struggle, in- clined. nevertheless, to the king’s side, and was al- ways willing to welcome his soldiers. But the fair-luaired girl at his side was the chief reason for his sojourns in the vicinity of the Delaware. “A pesky night. he muttered, as he brushed his hot face with his coat sleeve and settled himself more com- fortably in his chair. “Were not the rebels al- most at their last gasp. Heaven help Raid anti his Hessians, and the English, also, at Trenton.” “You left them feast- ings?” the old man in- quired, as he turned from the window and faced the speaker. “Aye, and drinking, too.” he answered. Half the army is drunk already, and the other half will be before morning. The English soldiers, what few there arc of them, are the only sober men in the force.” “It is a disgrace.” the young girl exclaimed, turning her blue eves toward the soldier, “that the English allow it. Perhaps, however, they cannot help it. But then Christmas comes but once a year; I suppose they think they need a reward for the victories they have won. Besides, to their feasting and dissipation I owe your presence here to-night, which is dearer to me than many Hessians.” The young man laughed a laugh of merry sat- isfaction. and together they watched the firelight for some minutes in happy silence. But suddenly John Lee. gazing into the night, called the young man to him. They watched the Delaware, and on its troubled waters saw the faint glimmer of torches, while boats filled with soldiers SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 slowly crossed the river, and far behind in the dis- tance, sounded the mufiled tread of hastening cav- alry. The young man turned as pale as death, and sprang to his sword. Hurriedly buckling it on, he threw over his shoulders the riding cloak which he wore, and snatched his hat from the table. His voice trembled as he muttered the simple words, Farewell. I must leave you for the present.” He drew his coat more closely about him. and throwing open the door, rushed out into the night. The old man stood erect and motionless. A coward,” he muttered. ‘‘He fears the American cavalry will capture his worthless self. Cease your tears, my daughter. Believe me, he is not worth them. So he strove to comfort her. while the galloping horses drew nearer and nearer. «■ « Slowly the crowded boats cut the icy waters of the river, urged on by pole and oar. while far below, where the river was narrow, a single man rowed his frail bark between the cakes of ice. As soon as he reached the opposite shore, the British soldier, for it was lie. hurried to a little cottage near the river bank. It was inhabited by a warm friend of the Lees, who had known them in Eng- land. By mentioning the name of the Tory, the soldier secured a horse, and springing into the saddle, lie dashed toward Trenton. For the sol- diers crossing the river bore the American stand- ard. The next morning, before the English general had arisen, he was awakened by a sentry who had entered the tent. “Well?” the general asked, im- patiently. There is a man to sec you, sir, who has crossed the Delaware, and who bears important news.” “He should have chosen a more suitable time for his news.” muttered the officer; however, bid him enter.” The sentry retired, and George Clayton entered the tent. You have news for me? the general inquired. Yes. sir, was the answer. 'T crossed the Dela- ware last night: the Americans have crossed in force, and arc even now advancing on Trenton.” The general sprang from his bed and hurriedly dressed himself. Rushing from the tent he issued a command, and soon the English army was in arms. He also sent a messenger to Raid with the news, but it was too late. The American army was upon them, and soon the entire Hessian force was captured. Learning this, the English general did not hesi- tate. To save the armv intrusted to him he be- lieved to be his duty. Springing upon his horse he rode to the head of his troops, and soon the drums and bugle proclaimed the ret: cm. Three days afterwards the logs were burning merrily in John Lee’s fireplace. The old man and his daughter were seated near its cheerful blaze when the servant ushered in George Clayton. Mr. Lee rose to his feet and coldly saluting the young man motioned him to a seat, which the sol- dier. although surprised at his reception, took. For a while nothing was said. At last the soldier, having vainly tried to catch Alice's eye. broke the silence. This is a cold reception von accord me, he said, unless it is a joke, i should like to know the reason. You should know the reason, the old man re- replied. My house has never shielded either a traitor or a coward. The young man turned pale. 1 know not what you mean, he said, that you denounce me in such terms. 1 am neither a traitor nor a coward, nor did I ever desert a friend without a reason. Your accusation is just. retorted Lee, coldly. ”1 have that reason. The young man gazed once more into the girl's face, but her eyes showed no signs of relenting. Turning, he said, I will not stay here to be in- sulted. I know not your motive in speaking to me thus, nor will 1 insist on knowing now. It may be that some day you will repent the words you have just spoken.” He was about to leave the room when a rider, galloping into the yard, knocked at the door of the house, and being admitted by the colored servant, handed a scaled package to Clayton. The young man broke the seal and glanced quickly at the contents. Turning to Mr. Lee he said. Read this. and placed the letter in his hands. With a voice full of emotion the old man read as follows:— Headquarters of the British Army. Dear Sir:— For your heroic action on Christmas night, to which 1 owe my honor and perhaps my life, accept my heartfelt thanks. I beg you to accept the en- closed as a proof of my best wishes for your future welfare. Commanding the British forces in camp near Princeton.” He was pale now. but the face of his daughter was crimson. Silently John Lee pressed the young man's hand, while tears filled his eyes. At last he spoke. I judged you hastily, sir. he said; ac- cept my apologies. 1 knew your father; never was there a braver or more courteous gentleman, or one more devoted to the king. I am glad to see the virtues of the father shine forth in the son.” He sank back into a chair, his heart too full for words. The young man turned to the girl. “Tis rather late. I suppose, for a Christmas present,” he said, yet ‘better late than never.’ ” and going to where she stood he placed in her hand a slip of paper. It was a commission from the English general, creating him a lieutenant and assigning him to his own staff. The look in her eyes was his best reward. 6o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A CHRISTMAS GHOST. By Pcrsis Chapin Olney, E., '02. DON’T see the birrud nowhere, ma’am ’ said Jone, putting his head in at the back door. The chore-boy, a sturdy, mild-eyed chap from the north of England, held in his hand a hatchet, for he had cheerfully accepted the duty—it being the day be- fore Christmas—of dispatching the fowl he couldn’t find, that appeared to have got wind of foul inten- tions. “Can’t find our Christmas goose? That’s funny!” from Mrs. Martin, who was paring apples at the kitchen table. I saw the creature just after breakfast, waddling into the stable at Archie’s heels.” That was after I led Prince to water. spoke up a lad of twelve propped upon his elbow upon a lounge, showing a pair of very red cheeks and un- naturally bright eyes. She followed me all around when I was getting Prince’s feed, and it wasn't be- cause she was hungry, for I threw down some corn, but she only pecked at it a little, twisted her neck, and cocked her eyes at me.” The last you’ve seen of her. hey?” said Jone, who had moved inside to close the door, leaving the instrument of slaughter on the steps. “Yes.—but perhaps she's gone down the road.” “It must he the case,” agreed Archie’s mother, “if she isn't in the yard or barn.” “She couldn’t fly mor’n across this room,” as- serted the boy on the lounge. “Uncle clipped her wing on purpose. Wish my throat wasn’t so sore. I’d help you. Jone. and we'd find her in a jiffy.” Jone renewed his search for the raw material of a Christmas dinner, and Archie lay back on the lounge, clasping his throat with his hands, and ex- claimed. “How sore it is growing! Lucky it’s va- cation week.” he observed with a grimace. “I am not so sure about the luck.” said Mrs. Martin. If you had been in school, you might not have caught cold; after skating the whole after- noon. you went coasting in the evening; probably you got your feet wet.” “Oh. dear! I don’t believe I can go to the church to-night,” groaned the patient later, as his mother bound a flannel around his neck: “my throat aches like fury!” “It would hardly be prudent for you to try it.” returned his mother. “I’ll bring you as many nice things as possible.” She thought afterwards that the readiness with which the boy yielded the promised pleasure should have proved to her that something serious was the matter. Where their goose was spending Christmas eve none knew. All thought she had left the premises by some means, and they had ceased to depend on her for the Christmas repast. Uncle Sam had been engaged to drive around and carry Mrs. Martin and Archie to the festival with his own family. It was dusk when a two-seated sleigh, piled with buffaloes, stopped before the door, and Uncle Sam ran in. leaving his wife and daughter aboard. All ready to go?” and then, seeing Archie tucked up in a plaid, he added, “What’s the matter? Played out?” Sore throat, explained the boy in a husky tone, and what do you think, our goose was missing this morning. Jone has hunted high and low for her, but she isn’t anywhere around.” “Do you suppose the silly thing made her way to your flock? said Mrs. Martin, drawing on her gloves. Shouldn’t wonder at all. Let her go. To- morrow morning send Jone over, and I will have one for you all dressed and stuffed. After the others had gone, Jone spoke of Mr. Martin, the sick boy’s father, who was in England on a business trip. I would like ’mazin’lv to be in your father’s place to-night and to-morrow morning.” Jone said. What for? England’s too far off! Oh. 'cause it’s vour home, of course!” Because they make more of Christmas than they do here. My father’s cottage was no larger than this one room, but every Christmas that ever came found the wall all covered with holly branches and the like. As for the ncebors that would be merry-makin’ there, you couldn’t count ’em. Never sec mistletoe, did you?” No. but I’ve heard of it. Oh. you bet that kind of tree grows here.” the young American has- tened to say. for the moment unmindful of pain in his zeal for native land. “There arc whole forests of it in Texas and California, and those two states arc bigger—are bigger than England any day.” “It isn’t a tree.” returned the Englishman. “The mistletoe grows on different trees. The oak tree is one. but it is just a thick, great bunch of dark ever- green. with white berries among the leaves. I've seen some larger’n that thing yonder what your mother puts her feet on.” A hassock, from Archie, faintly. They set snug in the crotches of trees; you can’t sec any stem, but there is a short, stout one; all the branches grow from that, then when it is cut off and lumg uj on a ceiling, it’s handsom’. I can tell you. and the sight would set e’en a mon with- out legs a-dancin’.” “How could a man dance without legs?” asked the sick listener. Then, roused by a mingled sense of being fooled and chaffed. Archie sprang up. pushing off his covering, and crying. “Oh. my throat! I can’t half breathe. I wish mother hadn’t gone. What time is it?” Tone was obliged to own that it was just eight. illiy SOM 1CRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 61 and that nobody would leave the church until ten o’clock. Archie lay down again, but kept moaning about his throat. “Them’s always worse at night,” remarked Jone. See here, I know what’s good for a sore throat— a pork rind. I'll go and get a wide strip and bind on, and it’ll dror the ache all out, you see ! lie went to the kitchen lor a knife ami a light, and down the cellar stairs and towards the pork barrel in the south corner. The cellar was so well kept that he could have done an errand here in the dark, but he would have had to be hired to do it. Not that Jone was a real coward, but he was not made of very bold stuff. The glimmer of his lamp was reflected from the row of glass panes over the vegetable bin. and showed a half-bushel measure lying where it fell when he pushed it in after emptying it of its con- tents that morning. As Jone paused beside the barrel, a cobweb swinging from the beams threatened to get into the flame of the lamp; he pulled it down, and was then obliged to scrape his hand on the barrel hoops, in order to free himself from its sticky fetters. He started! What was that noise he heard in the op- posite corner? Whatever it was. it made poor Jone’s hair creep. He turned to look, thrusting out the light the length of his arm. As he stood, breathless and with fixed gaze, there was a distinct movement in the corner. I le wanted to fly. but his legs were paralyzed. What did his eyes now be- hold? A figure all in white! It was coming towards him!! I le felt sure it was a ghost, but stil! could perceive no head, nor yet any body, but very distinctly a lady’s train. The mysterious form passed bv the corner through the wall, and was gone! With its disappearance the spell was broken, and Jone rushed for the stairs. The lamp fell from his trembling fingers and went out. Groping in the darkness with unspeakable terror, he fell on the stairs, up which he scrambled like a frightened beast, upon all fotirs. At I he top he pushed oocn the floor and bolted it behind him. In the light of the kitchen he breathed again, a deep, shuddering breath. Fortunately, the sick bov was lying in a doze. No consideration could have made Jone sit down and wait. That the ghost would come stalking straight through closed floors he had not a doubt. The neighbors' houses showed no lights at the win- dows—everybody was spending Christmas eve at the village. He determined to go, too. as fast as his legs would carry him. As to scruples with re- spect to leaving Archie alone, surely it must be a precious mean ghost that would harm a good. sick, little boy. From a closet in the hall he dragged forth his overcoat and hat. and jumped into them. Just then the sound of sleigh bells was heard, and through the window Tone saw Mrs. Martin. She had begun to feel anxious about her boy at home, and had returned long before the assembly broke up. “How is Archie. Tone? Where arc von going?” wore Mrs. Martin’s inquiries on meeting the fright- ened lad at the door. Worse, ma’am, and he wanted you, and 1 was startin’ after you,”’ was the stammered reply; lie’s asleep now.” The mother stepped to the sofa and bent over her child, in a moment coming back to where Jone stood, pale and dazed. “Go for Dr. Lcvram quickly!” was her order. He drove up to his own house as we came along. Why, what is the matter, Jone? Why do you stand there like a post? Are you afraid of some- thing?” It's a ghost there be in the cellar, ma'am, a lady in a white gown, with a trail. I seed her, else 1 hope to die.” Jone,” returned the mistress sharply, “do you need to be told over again never to mention such a thing as a ghost in this house? If there were spirits around, they would be blessed ones, surely, on this night of all nights in the year. Go at once for the doctor!” The physician had not been called a minute too soon; indeed, he feared he was hours late, when he found the patient suffering with diphtheria. Most of the night he was with Archie's mother at the sick bed. Early in the forenoon he called again, and found the symptoms more favor- able. For an hour the next morning the chore-boy had been hovering about the cellar window, without flaring to look through, even in broad daylight. The cow stood across the yard watching him with reproof in her eyes, and mooing from time to time for her daily rations. At length the shadow of a well-known figure drew his attention. It was Dr. Lcvram. who. standing in front of the potato bin. beckoned to the lad outside. The latter hurried downstairs now with quite a confident exterior, but when there he cautiously veered to the barrel side of the cellar, keeping the doctor between himself and the ghost department. “Mrs. Martin savs vou saw a ghost here last night.” Yes, sor. I did.” declared Jone. Well, take my advice and remove the goose if you want her to live.” “Goose! Ghost!” ejaculated the astonished chore-boy. Quawk. quawk, quawk!” observed the lost and found, waddling into view with a number of mouldy straws attached. As I came downstairs, the fowl stuck out her head and hissed, and I concluded she must be vour ghost.” After long weeks of careful watching and nurs- ing. Archie regained his health. Jone has learned a few things, and docs not believe in ghosts anv more. The goose was not eaten at Christmas, but al- lowed to live, and the past season she became the proud mother of a brood of as fine young goslings as ever grew fat in preparation for a Christmas roast. 62 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Phi Delta Fraternity. The regular social was omitted this month, and a business meeting was substituted in its stead. The treasurer’s report showed the finances to be in an excellent condition, and the manager submitted to the club for consideration challenges from teams in different sections of the state. Closed practice lias made it possible to perfect several new plays. The committee chosen to select a club emblem has not yet made a definite decision. The D. T. Club. 'Fhe D. T. Club, organized by eight Junior girls from the Latin school, held its first meeting at the home of Miss Hattie Hailey. The following offi- cers were elected: I'resident, Miss Helen Nichols: secretary. Miss Pdanchc Preston: treasurer. Miss Carrie Jarvis. Fhe other members arc the Misses Grace Harding, Hattie Hailey. Cecilia Doe. Mar- ion Oousens, and Grace Jouett. The Second Reunion of the Prescott '01 Class. December 5 the Prescott class of '01 met at the home of Jcune E. Thompson, Cross street. Prizes were given in the games, and a very enjoyable evening was passed. The party broke up late in the evening, and the reunion was voted a great success. Sigma Delta Fraternity. The last meeting of the Fraternity was held at the home of C. S. Ricker. Final arrangements were made for the admittance of eight Freshmen to the Beta Chapter, and will be organized before the new year. The Fraternity basket ball team commences its season by a game with the strong Phi Delta team. Neither team at this writing is in first-class condition, and the contest promises to be close. On December 30 the Sigma Delta men play the Quindonian Club. Some time in the middle of January, Dr. Charles C. Stroud has promised a game with Tufts ’Varsity, and urgent appeals are being made for the game to be played in Bacon hall. Manager Pearson has not reported any further dates, but will gladly receive any. Ar- rangements are being made by a special committee for a Fraternity dance, to come off early in 1903. Musicians. It is proposed to organize an orchestra in the English school. All pupils of either school who can play on any musical instrument will leave a slip with Charles V.

The officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, May 11. Baker; vice-president. Ethel Burroughs; secre- tary and treasurer. Marion II. Farrar. The meeting was then adjourned, and a pleasant social hour followed, during which light refresh- ments were served, followed by music. T. H. D. Club. A new society has ventured to connect itself with our English High School, under the name of the T. II. I). Club. The initiation occurred at the home of Miss Ethel Brown. '05. October 20. The members hope to make this club significant of earnestness in all that pertains to school and suc- cess in the days that follow. ------—— S. E. H. S. Lyceum. 'Phe second debate of the Lyceum took place in the English High .School building Friday, No- vember 21, at 2 p. m. The subject. Resolved, That Socialism Is the Ideal Government,” was ably debated by Miss Bake, '03. and Mr. I light. '04, on the affirmative, and Mr. Cook, ’05, and Miss Bailey. ‘04. on the negative. The result was a vic- tory for the affirmative. 'The subject was vigor- ously discussed by the members, and a vote on the merits of the question gave a victory to the nega- tive side. 'Hie officers of the Lyceum hope that a livelier interest will be shown in the organization which will result in a larger attendance at the future debates. The Sailor. By Percy G. Burns, F., '05. An unmarked path the sailor hath. Who o'er the deep doth roam, 'Tis with dangers fraught, for he's often caught I11 storms e’er he anchors at home. All ahead is dark, but his gallant bark Is steered by a trained hand, And a steadfast heart that doth its part Soon puts him safe on land. lie hath no fears who hath for years The ocean navigated. Whose rollers’ shocks and treacherous rocks Can ne’er be subjugated. The tempest’s roar, the dread lee shore, 'Fhe sandbars crouching low, He dauntless braves who rides the waves. Where whirlwinds rage and blow. The Secret of the River. By M. W.A.. E.,'03. The snow was falling fast, and, driven in great sheets against the houses, seemed determined to wipe everything from sight. Down on the for- saken wharves of the East river crouched the little figure of a newsboy. All day he had lain here, hardly stirring, and moaning softly now and then. The night grew darker and colder. The waves in the river rose higher and higher, and finally washed up over the wharves with a fierceness that nothing could resist. ■ « $ Brightly rose the sun upon New Year’s morning. Merrily pealed the bells from the churches, calling the people to worship. Down on the wharves the sun shone brightly, but its rays fell not upon the figure of the little newsboy. The waves kept their secret. Jimmy had gone to spend the New Year with the Father of all homeless waifs. Charity Ball. There is to be a young people’s dance at A11- thoine Hall Saturday evening, January 3. Tickets may be obtained of members of each class, and we hope our High Schools will be well represented, as the proceeds are to aid the Washington-strcct Day Nursery. The Senior Social. The first Senior social this year was held at mild Hall December 0. A most enjoyable entertainment was provided, and the event was a complete success. ------------------------------------- “ Christmas.” By Frances Frost, L., '04. Shepherds were watching their flocks on the hill. While a glorious light bathed the earth, so still. When lo! in the bright and starlit sky. A host of angels appeared on high. Tidings they gave to the watchers there, How in Bethlehem lay a child so fair. That a gleaming star, as a beacon light. Should pilot them safely through the night. They followed this, their guiding hand. And morning brought them to the land Where, in the humble manger, lay The one we honor this Christmas day. They offered gifts, and from afar Came three kings, guided by that star. O. what a scene was centred there lit that lowly spot, near one so fair! Lo! at this sacred time of year. Let all our hearts echo good cheer. While angels chant the same as then. Peace on earth, good will to men.” 64 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1903. At last we get a day off! Some of those themes on The History of a Pin” were touching, if not pricking. If Cicero had ever tried analyzing the construc- tion of his orations as thoroughly as we do, lie would have had no time to attend to Catiline and his conspiracies. My man s as true as steel.”—Miss D-----------. We overheard L-----------remark the other day that it was cold enough to freeze a brass monkey. We advise him to keep his collar turned up and his ear-laps down. Have you paid your class dues? Punil (translating French)— We do not know anything.” Teacher—“Right.” The Freshman is now the only verdant thing in sight. A recent French translation: Then she went to turn the earth.” Perhaps she simply had to press a button. Speaking of self-importance, the following is certainly the limit”: A young lady stood up in German E., and after rendering the translation. I am IT,” sat down again, entirely unaware of her distinguished position. Yes, we did get a holiday on account of stormy weather. It is really a misfortune that the coal trust could not make some arrangement with the ice trust, for when the coal magnates insist upon freezing humanity, they give the iceman no show at all. Let every one in the class attend the Phi Delta games this year, and stick to the yellow and black, which have so well represented the class for two years. 1904. “The Athenian fleet stopped for coal at Thurc.” That was just before the strike. Stringere remos! To string the rowers. Lynching even in the time of Aeneas! We think Vergil must have been chief of the weather bureau in Roman times, or a sensational reporter on a Roman daily, to have turned out such harrowing descriptions of storms and ship- wreck. Remember, everyone, that the Sigma Delta boys play a good game during the Christmas vacation, and want your support. Ask about it. It is with interest and pleasure that we note the quick and business-like manner in which the Fresh- men chose their class pin. They promise to keep up the reputation of the even classes. 1905. They needed (kneaded) Doe (dough) in the third division. The soldiers were four feet deep. Question in Possessive� —“Would you say the wives of Henry, or Henry’s wives?” Scholar—“Wives of Henry, as they are too in- dependent to say Henry’s wives.” The class basket ball season is well opened now, and a new ball has been presented to the team. Don't forget practice Fridays. Heard in Latin: “With jam,” the sentence read, “-------cum jam-------.” definition of a polygon: “A polygon (polly- gone) is an empty parrot cage.” Fifteen candidates for the basket ball team is cer- tainly a good showing. Some talk has been heard about a union Sopho- more social. Wc hope it will be pushed through. A hint to the Freshmen who are trying to decide on a class color: We think green of any shade would be decidedly appropriate. Oh! Those word tests in Greek! Among the football squad from this class at the end of tlie season were Ilafford. Burns, Cameron, and McLaughlin, who is taking a special course. [Continued on page 56.1 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 65 1903. Basket ball Is progressing. The manager. Miss Paon, has secured the use of the drill hall in the police station for practice ball, free of charge, by the kindness of Mayor Glines. A schedule is be- ing arranged. The dates of the games will be an- nounced later More enthusiasm is needed in the school. Have you read Burton's “Views on Freshmen”? Published in 1903 volumes. Miss Cushing, of IY. Hist. F. tells us that our classmate, Philbrick. was a candidate for president in 1S4S. More glory for the class of 1003! “Taylor received one hundred and sixty-three 'electrical' votes.”—Fillcbrown. Shocking! Some of IV. French I's translations for De- cember :— “Quel enorme cancton” “What a large canary.”—Wyman. “Le mardi gras arrive.” “Shrove Tuesday ar- rove.”—San born. As an extra inducement to bring in class notes, we offer, for a limited time only, a complete set of ping-pong for every note. These sets arc the very best made, and could not be purchased for several dollars. Owing to the large contract we have with the manufacturers, we arc enabled to make this startling offer. Miss Fraser, in History—“They did not think that Tyler would die, as such a thing had never happened before.” Everyone should attend the class socials! 1904. Those who reported to Captain Bean for the class basket ball team were Frost. Fallen. Stacy, Woodworth. Farnum. II. S. Chandler, Barton, Duhig, Wentworth. Blair, Wilson, Dunham, Cot- ter. Perry.

Miss Qucnell, Miss Welch. Mr. I light, Mr. Chandler, and Mr. Barton, was chosen to draw a new class constitution. Another committee, con- sisting of Mr. Mitchell (chairman). Mr. Bean. Mr. Stacy. Mr. Wilson, Miss Pipe, Miss Stevenson, Miss Nolan, and Miss Ray. was elected to make arrangements for a class dance. There was a large number present, and the president requests a still larger attendance at next class meeting. Perry was told to stand on his block to put the gas out. Bean. Allen. Woodworth, and Frost attended the football banquet from the Junior class. Fustis is deeply interested in history. Junior (to Miss Young, ’06)—“Have a good time while you are young.” We are told that there is a great difference be- tween whispering and talking. Every one support the class basket ball team by attending its games. When Barton and Duhig came to school one cold morning with straw hats on, they attracted considerable attention. Miss P-------y (reading stenography)—“See!” said the man. “how stunning we arc!” Greelv and Moran give chalk talks in III. Eng. F. Bean (in elocution)—“I am in love.” (Pause.) To instructor: “What are they laughing at?” Allen made left guard on the all-interscholastic football eleven. Can you define “schynecdotc”? Sanborn, of IIT. Eng., can. The Freshmen are about right in regard to the Sophomores being walking directories. Several of our class were present at the party given by Miss Colburn, of the Senior class. The absence of Miss Ingram was felt by all her third-year divisions. Our defeat at the “C. M. T. S.” game brought grief to a great many. Farnum told his friends not to praise him, as he was subject to headaches. 66 SOMERVILLE IIIGII SCHOOL RADIATOR 1905. Our old friend and classmate, Raymond E.

SOMKRVILLI-: HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 67 “Her Brother’s Keeper,” in the Monthly Chronicle, deserves great praise. It is well writ- ten, and much better than many stories in papers whose contributors have had more experience in writing than high school people. We were very glad to receive the Bulletin from Lawrence. It contains some excellent reading matter, but what a lot of typographical errors we noticed! Who could help pitying poor little Warren in “Man's Inhumanity to Man.” from the Red and White? It was a great pleasure for us to receive the Cambridge Latin and High School Review. We are much interested in this paper, for it is one of our best exchanges. The High School Life has a good Exchange column. There are several good short stories in the Racquet, but “A Fair Violinist is to be “con- tinued in a very interesting place. If the Congress would make its pages smaller, and have more of them, it would be an excellent paper. The cover of the November Scribbler is very ap- propriate, and an improvement on the previous numbers. Is the story of “Dick Gerald's Experience,” in the Messenger, entirely original? There must be some very bright people in the Northampton High School! The one who writes the “Adventures of a Freshman” certainly has a great deal of wit. We should like to see the Bulletin office (Ded- ham). It must look very attractive, with its pretty decorations of crepe paper. “Do cigarettes hurt a boy's brain?” Doctor—“Oh. no! Boys with brains don't smoke them.”—Ex. A student at a New England university called on his instructor in English, taking with him a theme which was covered with the instructor’s red ink. “I beg your pardon, sir,” he said, “but T couldn't make out this correction here. It is a little hard to read.” The instructor took the theme, scowled at it critically, and then said, with a mixture of humor and irritation:— “Why, it says—it says, ‘Write more legibly!’”— Exchange. “I’m not pleased with your school report, Freddy.” said his father, with a solemn look. “I told the teacher you wouldn’t be, but she was too stubborn to change it.”—Ex.

A nervous looking man came into the grocery store with his baby on one arm and an oil can on the other. He placed the can on the counter, and said gently. “Sit there a moment, dear.” Then, holding the baby up to the dazed clerk, he added: “A gallon of kerosene in this, please.”—Ex.

An old bachelor, who had become melancholy and poetical, wrote some verses for the village paper, in which he expressed the hope that the time would soon come when he should:— “Calmly rest within a shroud.

T S. succeeded in forcing our boys back to the 5-yard line, where we made a stand, but to no avail, as Hicks was pushed over for a third touch- down. The half ended with the ball in Cambridge’s pos- session on our 45-yard line, and R. M. T. S. had succeeded in defeating us for the first time in five years, also winning the championship. While the Red and Blue met defeat, it was no disgrace, as the boys played hard football, and contested every inch that R. M. T. S. gained. The features of the game were the covering of punts by Dickinson and the clever running of Wvman and Bovson. The line-up:— R. M. T. S.

The echoes from Charles River Park had hardly died away, when the Phi Delta Fraternity opened the basket ball season with a rush. On November 28 the Harvard-Somerville Latin Club defeated the Phi Delta team, 13-10. At the end of the first half, the score stood 4-2. in favor of the Harvard Club. In the second half the Phi Delta team outplayed the Harvard boys as to team work, but were decidedly off color in goal throwing. The features of the game were a fine overhand throw for a goal by Dickinson, and the team work of the Phi Deltas in the second half. The line-up:— H. S. L. C. Phi Delta R.

While time spins merrily on, what are we doing? To look out upon three hundred and sixty- five «lays well spent is a source of satisfaction : but a year misused in youth brings sighs and tears in age. Undergraduates, rejoice that as yet your High school days arc unnumbered: but to the Seniors, alas! we can only say whither, whither, whither? Another new year will have scattered our class- mates far and wide. The great sea of life will have swallowed us up. some to sink into oblivion, and some to rise to fame. The associations of the last four years must soon be broken up for the new and unknown future. Another January will see some of us in college and others struggling to make themselves a position in the great commercial world. To all, wherever the Fates may lead you, the Radiator wishes prosperity and plenty. 6 SOMKKVILLE NIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'J'HE impulsive public is at present making a most noisy cry for the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, notwithstanding the fact that in the inter- val between 1823 and 1903, conditions have changed. When in 1823 Europe was preparing to make a systematic steal in America, the Latin- American republics were just getting started in life. To-day. after having existed for over half a century, they are exactly where they were then. It was right and just for us to assume guardianship of them while they were taking the first steps. But now, when they have clearly demonstrated their inability to ever do more than occupy the territory, why are they any more entitled to the ground than Euro- peans. who would turn South America into a state of industrial prosperity? Must the country be re- served solely for people who occupy themselves with revolutions and bull-fights? Great stress is laid upon the fact that Europeans would dominate these countries and shape their destinies for private ends. Well, why should they not? It is as if we said to the little republic near us, Cuba, you shall have no railroads: for the rail- road magnates arc natural enemies of man. and develop territory only for their own interests.'’ Notwithstanding, the railroads would turn dense inpenetrable forests, inhabitated by wild beasts and poisonous serpents, into fertile farms and planta- tions. England might better dominate part of South America than nobody at all. Ilcr colonial government is satisfactory—except for the pitiable affair of South Africa, which, by the way. was run contrary to the wishes of the people and of the queen. Germany would not dare to abuse an American possession. Therefore, why should we oppose these European powers in their proposed land grabbing, simply because they would make money out of it? Hereditary monarchies are to gain no lost foot- hold in free America is the argument raised against foreign acquisition here as an unanswerable princi- ple of American government—no matter what the conditions may be commercially. It would be well for us to consider the justice and reason of this doc- trine. Republics rise and fall with less stability than one might think would be the case from the exalted theory upon which they are built. Popular government was the ruin of Athens and Rome, in ancient days. More than all, however, there arc statesmen of power and influence who declare that our own form of government is still in the experi- mental stage. Tt is evident to the most casual ob- server that the recent revelations in St. Louis and Minneapolis look ominous. Here the public was duped and robbed under the very protection of the law. Franchises were sold by the politicians, and not for the financial benefit of the cities. Vice was allowed the wildest scope, and in Minneapolis it was actually invited and encouraged. The city of New York will have a great shaking up some day, when worse things will be shown. Similar illustrations might be given of corruption in state governments, and of disreputable political wire-pulling in the national government; but it is unnecessary, as such things are too well known. Enough has been said to prove our point, namely: We Americans cannot boast to Europe that because a thing is opposed to American principles of government, it is therefore wrong. We hasten to say that none of these things are said from unpatriotic sympathies. Cold facts suffer nothing for being aired. Much more might be said on the subject: but space limitations forbid it. There are at least two sides to a question; and it is hoped that the kernels of truth herein contained will prove food for thought. r, Q REAT is the rejoicing in the English school over the plans for giving Haydn’s magnificent ora- torio. the Creation.” The idea has long been revolving in the heads of students and teachers. Last year’s Senior class willed the hope of a cantata to us: but we have outgrown the notions of our pre- decessors in this matter, and cannot limit ourselves to anything short of an oratorio. But there is work before us. endless drill, and our irrepressible four tickets to sell. Let us carry it to a grand success, however, without flinching: and be proud of it all our lives. K JHROUGH the kindness of the Boston Home Journal, we were enabled to get for our frontis- piece a picture of Hon. John L. Bates, the new governor. K K J '1' is a pleasure to be able to print a story from the pen of one of the High School’s earliest students. The author of the Snowstorm of T 7” is a sister of Miss Kaan. now teaching in the Latin School. T ! IE first picture of the football squad was unsatis- factory. Another will be taken, and appear as frontispiece in the February Radiator. SOM HR VI LI. K Iil(;n SCHOOL RADIATOR 77 SCENES IN FLORIDA. By Chester Alanson Polsey, E., '03. rviLORIDA. being our most southerly . state and touching a semi-tropical climate, has naturally excited interest from time to time from the settler. ----------- tourist, health seeker, and. lastly, the sportsman, who finds a variety of game in the thick timber, and countless numbers of fish in its streams and along its sinuous coast. Florida has been for many years a resort for in- valids and people wishing to escape the rigors of a northern winter. The recent construction of a rail- the tangled undergrowth of palmetto scrub and pine trees. In many places, the pines, with their straight, bare trunks, are clustered so thick that they look like a vast regiment: while in other places nothing can be seen as far as the eye can reach, but sand. Few palm trees exist, it being too far north. Fertile spots, called hummocks, although more prevalent in the interior, are scattered here and there, like the oases of Sahara. Situated in the midst of such a barren land is the oldest city in this country. St. Augustine, a roman- A FAMOUS DATE PALM PONCIANA GARDENS — PALM BEACH. FLORIDA. The man beneath it. gives some idea of its enormous size. road from Jacksonville to Miami, on the east coast, and the erection of magnificent hotels in the best locations, has had a remarkable inlluence uj on the ever increasing amount of travel. Kveryone of course is familiar with the general outline of the state: but many of us are surprised when told that Florida has over 1.200 miles of coast- line : more than any other state in the I 'nion. The writer had the privilege of enjoying a short stay in Florida, in company with a friend. Our plan was to travel from Jacksonville south, along the coast to Palm Reach. Lake Worth, visiting only the places of greatest interest to the tourist. Jacksonville, situated on the north bank of the scenic St. John's river, is the first city of importance in the state: but other than its fine residences, with their large grounds and beautiful shrubbery, it lias no interest for the sight-seeker. To the south of the St. John’s, the country has a peculiar appearance, resembling a desert except for tic town which has witnessed many of the outrages of early foreign conquest. To-day, few travelers pass by St. Augustine without making a short visit to the many historical landmarks within its limits. The very streets of the city, crooked and narrow, are romantic and characteristic. They arc paved with shells, affording an excellent surface for driv- ing. W e were much interested in the fashionable street of the city, which is only twelve feet wide in one place. The houses fronting the street at this place, are representative southern houses, of lin- early time, having balconies hanging over the street from their second stories. In many places the bal- conies of two opposite houses nearly touch each other. Many of the older houses are built of co- quina. a shell stone, very hard and durable. It is quarried in large quantities on Anastasia Island, at tin- entrance to.the bay. The old city gate, which attracts many tourists, stands at the head of St. George’s street o t the 7« SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR north. It is the last remnant of the Spanish city wall. To the east and fronting on the bay is Fort Marion, a very ancient structure. With its coquina walls and dark towers outlined against the sky. it presents a very picturesque appearance. From the court in the centre, lead the magazines and cells. A well-worn flight of stone steps leads to the parapet. One may ascend to the watch tower from here and get a line view of the harbor. A fine lawn sur- rounds the fort, which serves as a pleasure ground for the soldiers during the leisure hours. After leaving Fort Marion we walked along the Spanish sea wall, to the I’nitcd States Barracks; they occupy a white brick building which was form- erly a monastery. I )irectlv opposite stands the sup- posed oldest house in the United States, built in I • . Many repairs have been made to keep it from decav, and it does not look like a New Eng- land farmhouse, one hundred years old. rite in- terior. however, has many things suggestive of an- tiquity—the broad fireplace, heavy mantel, clumsy chairs, and rickety staircase. Many relics and curios are kept within. At the rear of the house is a fine spring affording the very purest of water. The city part of St. Augustine also had its many attractions for us. The business part of the city centres about the Plaza de la Constitucion. The Plaza covers nearly an acre of land. At one end stands the Confederate monument, erected in 1872. and at the other, the Spanish Liberal Constitution monument. The Slave Market stands in the centre, with its white pillars of coquina. No one knows what scenes of pity and despair its worn brick floor has witnessed. Not far from the Plaza is the Ponce de Leon, the best and most recent hotel in the city. It is built after the Spanish style of architecture, with red tiled roof, courtyard and portcullis gateway. The court of the Ponce is most tastefully laid out. In the centre a fountain plays constantly. A cir- cular walk surrounds it. with other walks leading away at right angles. Between the paths, palms, century plants, and other tropical trees are planted. At noon. St. Augustine is very quiet. The heat on some days is so oppressive and scorching that travel by any but natives and negroes is not usual. W e were standing in the shade of one of the arches of the court, near noon. It seemed like Paradise. No sounds were audible, save the musical drip of the fountain, the moving of the palm trees in the still wind, or the occasional twitter of some bright- colored bird among the (lowers. From the street came the passing negro’s voice, singing a remnant of an old folk song, or urging his worn-out mule to greater efforts. St. Augustine weather is peculiar. One can hardly tell from the day what the night will be. The day may be pleasant and the evening damp and foggy. On a pleasant evening the people centre on the promenade, and gaze over the dark, but moon- light waters of the bay. with Fort Marion looming up black and silent, and Anastasia Island scarcely visible in the distance. A foggy, damp evening is very disagreeable. A heavy mist enshrouds every- thing. Everything is in a short time covered with a moisture worse than rain and even more penetrat- ing. Thus are the extremes to which this climate may go: but Florida climate is nevertheless most delightful. Leaving St. Augustine we proceeded south. The gradual change of the vegetation, as we sped along, was very noticeable to us. From the barren appearance of the north, we entered upon a country more fertile and rich. The pines were replaced to some extent by the cocoanut-palm; the sand and low shrubs by tall grass and creeping vines. In several places where the train ran near to the ocean, we could see a flamingo, standing on one foot and seeming not to care for the loud rumbling of the cars. Situated on Lake Worth, three hundred miles south of St. Augustine, is the most popular winter resort on the east coast. Palm Beach. Many fine cottages border on the lake: Commodore Clark of New York owns a fine house, surrounded by a large lawn and many tropical trees, mong the hotel guests every year are many well-known northern men. We had the pleasure of passing the actor, Joe Jefferson, on the promenade, and seeing Mr. E. P. Shaw, then state treasurer of Massachu- setts. The Royal Poinciana. the large hotel, fronts on the small bay. between the ocean and the lake. In front of the hotel near the bay are the beautiful gardens of the Poinciana. Several days could be well spent, by one interested in trees and shrubs, examining the various rare displays. The gardens are laid out in many winding walks, arched by the broad, pointed leaves of the cocoanut-palms. shut- ting out the fierce rays of the noonday sun and making a delightful promenade. The designs of the flower beds are beautiful—the light and dark colors blending with fine artistic effect. Among the more rare flowers are the Hibiscus, a flowing scarlet flower having five petals: the Peribingle, which has a white flower. Of the trees, there is the silk cotton tree or Bombax. This tree has a green trunk from which large sharp points project. The seeds are enveloped in a cottony substance. Many of the trees and flowers have been imported from warmer climates. The Breakers hotel faces the ocean, a half mile from the Poinciana. 'I wo parallel walks, fifty feet apart, connect the hotels. One is bordered by palms: the other by pine trees, making a fine vista. Extensive golf links, always well patronized, ex- tend between the hotels. A small mule car is operated on Southern rapid transit principles, from the lake to the ocean: but if one is hard pressed for time, the safest way is to walk. On the morning of our arrival here, a hammer- head shark was caught near the ocean pier. The fish was nearly twelve feet long: the head, which was about four feet wide, was shaped like a ham- mer. with a small eye at each extremity: a broad. SOMKRVTLLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 79 pointed fin projected from its back, the tip being five feet from the ground. The monster was very for- midable looking. The century plants grow to an enormous size, some being nearly six feet high. One was in bloom, with a blossom ten feet long. ()ne afternoon we enjoyed a bicycle trip over an old Indian trail, winding through a real Florida jungle. The trail was wide enough for two to walk abreast, and the immense roots of the trees lay across it in many places. The surrounding forest was very dense—one mass of tangled vines and small trees; vines crept around the trunks of the largest trees, and looked like large serpents. The leaves of the trees were very close together and formed a dark canopy through which the sun did not penetrate, except in places. Several miles from the hotel we came upon an ostrich farm. The most valuable ostrich was the Prince of Wales.” broken to harness and worth -$1,000. He was somewhat vicious and had a habit of stepping behind a person and removing his hat. Here, also, were a number of golden pheasants and Chinese ducks. N’ear dusk the mosquitoes move in swarms, and they were very annoying to us on our return. The climate of Florida in the south and in the vicinity of the Everglades, is delightful. Malaria is said to be practically unknown, while the clear at- mosphere makes the conditions for the consump- tive the best. The rapid growth of marine life is made almost perfect bv the warm waters of the Gulf stream on the southeast (which at a few points al- most laps the shore), in connection with the warm, balmy air and the crystalline purity of the water. Florida as a winter and health resort is certainly not excelled in the I’nited States. AN INCIDENT OF OLD SALEM DAYS. By Maude Eynaud Huff, L., '04. T was a beautiful morning of the year sixteen hundred ninety. 'File town of Salem was beginning to show signs of life. One by one. the doors of the tidy farmhouses were thrown open, and soon smoke could be seen as- cending from every chimney. Then the cheerful sound of the blacksmith's anvil was heard, mingling with the songs of the birds. Presently, two men. carrying axes over their shoulders, issued from one of the smaller dwellings, and walked slowly down the narrow street toward the woods. On the border of the forest, and apart from the town, stood a small, ivy-covered log cabin, nestl- ing among the trees. As the wood-cutters ap- proached. an old woman came to the open door. Fright, black eyes gleamed from under her shaggy brows, her back was bent, and her dress, though very neat, was |K� or. She viewed them with anxiety, as. with a curt Good-morrow. Dame Per- kins. they examined a beautiful oak tree near the door of the cabin, and then advanced as if to cut it down. I pray thee, neighbor Watkins, no not fell that tree. It shadeth so well, and seemeth like an old friend to me! she exclaimed, coming forward. Although the younger man hesitated at this ap peal, the elder. Watkins, bent to his work without a word. A ringing blow echoed through the forest, and at the sound, a lovely young girl, known to the townsmen as Lydia Perkins, came from the woods and advanced toward them. John Watkins, she cried, her eyes flashing with anger. What dost thou mean? Are there no other trees for thee in the forest, but that thou must take the one my grandmother loves?” Grandmother. cried the girl, come inside with me! Casting one more piercing glance at the two men. the old woman followed the girl. The wood-cutters worked hard, till at last the old tree fell, and as Watkins straightened his ach- ing back, he exclaimed. Methinks a very imp of the old woman’s was in that tree, but it is con- quered now!” )ne afternoon about a week later, as Lydia was sitting at her work in the doorway of the cabin. Jonathan Hartwell, the town constable, appeared, coming rapidly toward the house. The girl sprang up as if to summon her grandmother, but suddenly k 'ruing, she dropped a courtesy and waited for him to omc up. A fearful dread seized her. What can he want? she asked herself. Just then Dame Perkinsi herself appeared in the doorway. Woman. cried the constable. I have come to arrest thee in the name of the law. as a witch ! Come with me! The old woman turned pale, but said nothing. It is false! She is not a witch! cried Lydia, and she would have closed and barred the door in the very face of the officer, had not her grandmother drawn her back. Lydia, she whispered, though I am innocent, thou must keep thy silence. Thou wilt but bring down his wrath on thine own head!” So the girl wept in silence, as the old woman, commending her to the care of Providence, turned and followed the constable. Far up the village street they went, to the town jail, where Dame Per- kins was to stav till her trial. It was the day of Dame Perkins’ trial. At nine So SOMKRVII.L1-: HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR o clock the constable threw open the jail door, and called. Dame Perkins, come forth! The old woman followed the officer up the narrow street to the Town Hall, where the trial was to be held. As she entered the building, her glance first rested on Lydia, and her heart throbbed with joy to see her darling well. Rut her spirits sank, as she looked around the hall at the stern faces of the towns- people. On the platform sat Judge Weymouth (who had very recently come to Salem), in wig and gown. ()n his face there was an expression as if lie had suffered some great sorrow, which softened it, and made the stony-faced lower judges look more grim than ever. The trial began. Dame Perkins had been ac- cused of witchcraft. Did she plead guilty or not guilty? Not guilty. answered the old woman, her bent form straightening as if with returned youth. The witnesses were called. James Watkins (who had started the rumor that Dame Perkins was a witch) first testified. He told the story of the tree- felling. lie repeated his former declaration that the accuser! had sent an imp into the tree, which rendered it hard to fell, and stated, moreover, that as the tree was falling, a piercing wail arose from its heart. The very next day after the incident his little Ren had fallen ill with a fever. Goodman Wil- son then declared that his wife had been seized with a fit two days after drinking some herb tea made by the accused. Several others had seen Dame Per- kins hastening through the woods at midnight. After many such tales were told, the judge allowed Lydia to speak. The girl arose and, choking back her tears, earnestly proclaimed the innocence of her grandmother. Dame Perkins was then called upon to vindicate herself. In an earnest, pleading tone, she as- sured them that she was innocent of all these charges, and begged that she might be allowed to go home, and care for Lydia once more. Hut this did not avail, as everyone, even the judge himself, believed in the stories which had been told against her. 'Hie jury of judges solemnly conferred together: then Judge Weymouth arose and said: Dame Perkins, thou art here, before this court, pro- nounced guilty of the crime of witchcraft. To- morrow. at sunset, thou shalt be carried from the prison to this place, and then to the gallows, where thou shalt be hanged by the neck until thou art dead. During the trial, unnoticed by the engrossed citi- zens. the sky had become dark, and now, as the judge finished, all were startled by a vivid llaslt of lightning, accompanied by a deafening peal of thunder. Aye, ye may well start and shudder. cried Lydia, who was standing with her arm about her grandmother. That sound is the wrath of heaven ‘gainst ye who persecute an innocent woman ! The judge now dismissed the people, before the storm should begin, and Dame Perkins was led back to jail. Judge Weymouth was the last to leave the building, and seeing James Watkins just before him. hurried after the wood-chopper. James. he said. 1 have a strange fancy to walk in the forest yonder during the storm; wilt thou come with me?” W atkins hesitated, saying under his breath: A falling tree may cost our lives, yet he nodded assent; and. though the rain was now falling in blinding sheets, they entered the woods. As they passed Dame Perkins cabin. Watkins pointed to the tree-stump before the door. His companion stooped to examine it. and shook his head, observing. I see nothing strange in this tree.” They passed on. when suddenly Watkins grasped the judge’s arm and shouted, “There was that hor- rible wail again.—like that which rose from the witch's imp! Didst thou not hear it? Xo. man ! impatiently replied the judge, it was nothing save a falling tree. Hut now. from the north came a loud moaning sound, and they turned just in time to see a large tree, up-rooted by the storm, fall heavily to the earth. atkins. said the judge, that sound wras the cracking of the tree trunk, but louder and more peculiar than 1 ever heard before: that was the sound thou heard'st from Dame Perkins’ tree. Thou, in thy superstition, attributed it to the cry of a witch's fiend. Truly now. I am convinced that Dame Perkins is no witch. As the words left his mouth, the sun appeared in dazzling radiance, and the judge, baring his head, cried. It is God’s blessing on this, my just de- cision ! It was the hour of Dame Perkins' execution. The sun shone as brightly and the birds sang as cheerily as ii the curse of witchcraft were not in the land. The prison door was thrown open, and Dame Perkins was conducted tip the long street to the Town Hall, where her trial had been held. Without hesitation, she ascended the steps of the platform and stood before her judges. Had she turned lie eves toward the people she might have perceived in the faces so stern the day before a softer expres- sion ; but her eyes were fixed in a long farewell •glance on the sobbing Lydia. Then looking to heaven with a prayer on her lips, she turned to the judge, saying. I cannot confess mv witchcraft, for 1 am not guilty of the crime. However, let God's will be done. I am ready. Good people. announced Judge Weymouth. I believe that we have made a grievous mistake concerning Dame Perkins' case. And he i ro- ceedcd to tell of his adventure, on the preceding day in the forest. And now. Dame Perkins, in the name of His Majesty of England. 1 pronounce thee guiltless of the crime of witchcraft. Thou art free! Murmurs of surprise arose from the audience; Lydia was weeping in her grandmother’s arms, while the last rav of the setting sun cast a bene- diction on the scene. SOM KR VILLI-: 11 Kill SCHOOL RADIATOR 8i WHICH ? By Marion K. Tufts, E. H. S., '03. Ill-: first few snow-flakes were swirling down as my train pulled out of the Central Station. As 1 looked out on the growing storm, it was not with the greatest pleasure that I thought of the prospect ahead of me,—an interview with the crochcty old man who had just made a deal in oil which had slumped the street. He would doubtless turn me down, but a reporter gets used to that. I was cursing my luck, the weather, and the world in general, when a rousing slap on the back made me jump, and a hearty voice said. Hullo, old fel- low! What's up? W here you bound? It was Charlie, or rather. Charles 15. Bancroft, reporter for the Tribune, which was a deadly rival of my paper, the Sun. But as Charlie had been a chum of mine at Harvard, and afterwards had re- mained one of my truest friends, we personally had no share in this bitter feeling. He dropped into the seat beside me. and soon we were deep in conversation. I was in the midst of a tale about mv last great “scoop. when there came a fearful, grinding crash, and a shock that threw us the length of the car. Picking ourselves out of the melee, we clambered out and made our way through the gale to the head of the train. A confused mass of wrecked cars, and two battered, overturned en- gines told the story of an iron runaway and the care- lessness of a few men. A little group from the last car, the only one which had not been wholly shattered, gathered si- lently. and at first gazed at the scene dumb with horror. Then desperately they set to work to res- cue the living and the dead from the wreckage. Charlie and I pitched in too. but it seemed like years before the first body was discovered. No help could reach us for hours, as the wind had torn the wires down in both directions, and there was only a solitary house in sight. The snow had changed to a driving rain and sleet, that, sweeping over the lake which was just beyond the track, made our work almost impossible. Charlie and I were tramping up and down, whistling. We Won’t Get Home 'Pill Morning. and trying to keep from freezing, when he suddenly burst out. By the lord Harry! what a scoop this would be! “Great! I returned, but as I have no wings as vet. and as Marconi has not his headquarters in this howling wilderness. I can’t see what good it does us. Unless------Sure! Good-bye, Charlie!” But he followed me as I dashed off through the storm to the dingy little house, which had been hastily converted into a hospital. Its owner was an old fisherman with whom 1 had scraped an ac- quaintance while on a canoeing trip the previous summer. F.vidently he had been crowded out of his home, for down by the edge of the lake we found him hoisting the sails of an ice-boat. Where you going. Captain? I called to him. Down lake to git help. Wanter come? Of course,” I answered: “anything to get back to civilization. Sorry for you, Charlie, old boy. but the Tribune does not get this little yarn. He didn’t answer, but only whispered something to the old fisherman, then walked calmly off. We finally got under way. and as the first sweep of wind caught us. we went ripping down the lake. Only once I glanced back in order to take a last exultant look at my disappointed rival, but no Charlie was to be seen. Quite a distance behind.us there came spinning along another ice-boat, with a familiar figure lying along the boards. Puzzled. I turned to my skipper, but could not make myself heard above the roar of the wind, and z-z-zipp-zurr of the stinging ice-clouds that were dashing into my face. I fastened my eyes on the course ahead, and hugging the beam, hung on for dear life. Now. far out on the lake we raced faster and faster, outflying the sleet and storm, bounding over the hummocks, leaping the black silent water- depths, to cut again the backward whizzing ice be- yond. 7-7.-7.w-! and a great white sail came swooping down upon us. until scudding bow to bow, we raced for the fast approaching shore. Which would win? We had skill and experience on our side, but on his Charlie had the lighter boat, and a devil-may-care daring that rushed him over the widest pools, and at length brought him up yards ahead of our boat. Half-dead with the cold, and stiff with frozen sleet, we stumbled up the banking, through an old lumber road to the station. Charlie still ahead. Here. I had felt sure the wires would be up. be- cause for miles the line ran through a dense, protect- ing forest. Sad to relate. Charlie had had the same brilliant idea, and consequently had ljorrowed the old man’s second ice-boat.

By Marion Daniels, L., '02. T Rade� -Laden we left the train amid a great throng of people who had come to the springs,—some in silk and satin gowns, some in rags, and all with ‘luggage. Here. too. were the inevitable umbrellas and guide-books. Luxurious carriages rolled off with fine ladies and little children and their nurses. All these people were not (iermans. although the (Jcrmans seem to have a craze for spending a part of every year at some watering-place. From the station we made our way past magnif- icent cafes and hotels in the direction of the ruins, which are renowned for their beauty and good pres- ervation. We passed a large building with the in- scription: Frisch, l-'rei. Froh. Fromn. I added to myself. I smell the blood of an Englishman. As we left the town, the road grew rough and led through the woods and brambles. We were some time finding our way. be- cause we had taken a road that was not much used, and was crossed by many paths. At last we came to the ruins of the old castle. It was built in the twelfth century, on the site of an old Roman tower. It was destroyed by the French, and was later put into good condition, but was not rebuilt. There are great pieces of wall left standing with windows and doorways clearly cut. The ruins are not covered with ivy. but are quite bare, except for some young trees. From the outside, the rocks look very rugged and tottering, but it is quite safe for visitors to wander about as they choose, without a guide. Above the castle there is some hard climbing over rocks connected with wooden bridges and steps. When we once reached the top we had a fine view of the surround- ing country.—the valley of the Rhine and the moun- tains in the distance. In the castle is a restaurant, and tables arc spread on the terrace in front of the principal entrance. Here we had a very good lunch. It was noon when we got back to the town, and then we went to the Trinkhalle. The great en- trance leads into a large, square hall, from which open smaller rooms. In the centre of the hall, from behind a circular counter, a young woman serves mineral water from the spring. These springs were known to the Romans. The water is just warm enough to be nauseating, but every one drinks as if in duty bound. Those who come for the cure drink five or six glasses a day. Around the hall is a frieze of fourteen paintings representing various legends. Indeed, this part of Germany is teeming with legends. One of these is a warning to bachelors and Sabbath- breakers. The story is this:— ()ncc upon a time there was a young nobleman who was very fond of hunting. In fact, he cared for nothing else in the world. Every morning he went off with his dog to hunt. The neighbors often reproached him for not marrying and settling down as a good citizen. ()ne Sunday morning, when he was about to start off as usual, his mother said to him. You should go to church, and meet the fine young women. How else will you ever marry? “Xo. he persisted, there is not a woman on earth that I would marry, were she beautiful as a wood- nymph. Off he went and was soon on the trail of a beautiful white doe. The doe gave him a long chase over hills and through woods, till it came to a cave, from which there stepped forth the loveliest woman that could be imagined, with golden hair and blue eves. Laying her hand on the deer’s neck, she said. “What has my pet done that you should chase it so cruelly? For a while he was held speechless in admiration. Then he threw himself at her feet and begged her to be his wife. Suddenly there was the strangest tinkling laughter all about him. and looking around he saw on all the rocks and trees ugly goblins laughing and pointing their fingers at him. The lady disappeared at the same time. Every day he came to the forest to look for her. but never found her. ()n the frieze there was represented another legend of a lady. who. also fond of hunting, had constantly intruded on her neighbor’s land. One day the owner met her on his ground and brought her to account for it: but she swore that she was standing on her own land, and said she would hunt SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 83 there till eternity if she liked. She had shaken some dirt from her ground into her shoes before she started, so that in a way she was standing on her own land. Hut for this terrible lie she was con- demned to hunt forever: and may be seen to this day wearing a long black cloak and black hat. hunting in the Hlack Forest. I he Hlack Forest is indeed a beautiful country, with hills and valleys and open farm lands and dark woods. The loveliest parts are the valleys where the farms lie spread out so prettily. Every- thing has such a strange peacefulness, it seems like fairyland. The people have extremely simple ways of living, and are most hospitable. They work very hard, in the summer being busy with the farms and gather- ing fuel for winter: and in the winter, making clocks or weaving straw hats. Their costumes are very queer. The men wear bright red vests: the women, the strangest kind of hats, some with big black bows across the front, others like the stove-, pipes. From Freiburg we took the train to Titiscc. al- though it is pleasanter to take the journey on foot. The way lies through Ilollenthal and Himmel- rcich.” that is. Hell's Valley and the Kingdom of Heaven, where there is some of the grandest and wildest scenery of the Hlack Forest. Even this is not as wild as our own Rocky Mountains. The train goes at a good speed and the road is cut through many long tunnels. Connected with the Titiscc is a legend. Once upon a time there was a convent here for wealthy young women, each of whom was an heiress in her own right. Hut the ladies were so fond of the pleasures of life that they neglected their religious duties. One stormy night they were feasting, drinking, and telling merry tales. In the midst of the feast a loud knocking was heard at the door. At first the knocking was not heeded, but finally a young nun was sent to an upper window to see who was there. She iciurncd and said that an old man with a white beard begged shelter from the storm. Hah! said the Lady Abbess, who was heated with wine, bid him begone: we want no vagrants here. The girl didn’t dare disobey, but she was sorry for the old man as she watched him set out in the storm. She was about to call him back when there was the sound of a great flood surging and beating against the building, and the convent was swal- lowed in a sheet of water. That is how the Titisee came there. The next morning there was seen on the lake the old man in a row-boat with the young girl, who had had pity in her heart. Now when anyone dives in the Titisee he can hear the ring- ing of the convent bells. Leaving the train we set out for a long tramp, but before starting we shopped at some small clock shops, near the station, where there were all kinds of Hlack Forest clocks. ’They were carved from wood and made to fasten on the wall with long chains and weights hanging from them. Many had cuckoos. Clock making is a great industry in this part of the country. Most of the famous clock- makers in the world have come from here. Hcfore we had gone far in our walk a shower came up. so we stopped at a pretty red-painted house. It was built, like all the houses, on an in- cline. so that grain could be brought into the upper part, while the family used the lower part. We sat out on a |H rch under the caves. An old man stood at the door smoking, and the whole family came out to see us. They asked many wondering ques- tions about the outside world. They inquired where we had come from. How their eyes stood out when we said, America. They were amazed that we should have come so far alone and without necessity. One of the girls milked a cow and we had berries and milk. When we asked how much the berries would be. she said. ()h. perhaps ten pfennig (about two cents).” Then she said quickly, Is that too much? 'There were two pretty girls in the family, who. with their white waists and short sleeves, looked as ii they had stepped out of a picture book. In fact, our whole journey through the Hlack Forest was a series of pictures. Nuggets of Wisdom from W. E. T.

Sa SOM ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR AN EVENING WITH THE OLD FOLKS. By Florence Merrill, E., '05. HE last night of the old year, some twenty or twenty-five years ago, was cold and snowy, when my two cousins, Patience and Amelia I lap- good. and their father, my brother Pen. and 1 started to walk about a mile down the road to spend the evening with our neighbor, Seth Allen, and his wife Abigail. It was bitter cold, and we bovs had comforters tied round our necks, outside of our coats, and. with thick caps and mittens, managed to keep quite warm. The girls, however, living in the city of Piddeford. where later styles had penetrated, were the proud possessors of fur tippets. As we hurried along, chasing each other to keep warm. Pen struck a hollow log that lay in the ditch, and. hearing a scratching inside, began to poke a stick in at one end. Much to our surprise, a young fox scrambled out. and darted away. Pen and I yelled and started after it. thinking that if we could catch it we could have fur caps that would be the envy of all the boys in the district. The snow was deep, but we were used to that, and while the fox floundered along through the drifts, we gained on it. but on places that were blown bare all wc could see of him was a yellow streak. Down through the back oast lire, over the brook, and across the intervale he ran at full speed, where it was possible, and we saw his head bobbing up and down through the drifts as we panted along after him. Seeing that the creature was heading for Randall’s mountain, wc concluded that wc had better leave it and go back to Allen’s, for by this time we had run about a mile out of our way. Within a short distance of the house, wc overtook our party, who were waiting for us. They laughed heartily at us for chasing that will-o'-the-wisp. as my uncle called it. Xot knowing what he meant, we gravely informed him that it was a yellow fox. Arriving at the Allens'. I knocked, and shouted to Seth. Wall. I declare! Ef it hain’t Mr. Map- good 'n' his two gals. Come right in! Come right in ! Ab’gail!” he called to a dusky figure sit- ting in the shadow bv the fireplace. Ab’gail. here’s Mr. Hapgood 'n' his gals fr’m Piddeford. come over with Pen an Dan Wilson.” As we went into the room. Abigail remained seated in her corner, swaying violently back and forth in her rocking chair. She was not accus- tomed to having visitors, for they lived on a large farm, which gave them little time to visit round” among few neighbors. Xo wonder, then, that Ab'gail was embarrassed when we appeared, with three city folks” in our wake. There was only one rocking chair in the room, but Seth hurried to the “fore room.” and came back with two more for Patience and Amelia. Then nothing would satisfy him but that the rest of us must have rocking chairs, also. So he started upstairs after some more, and we heard him stumping about overhead in his heavy cowhides, then rattling down the steep stairs with two rockers. After our host had made inquiries as to the health of every member of the two families rep- resented by his visitors, he and Uncle Hapgood en- tered into an animated discussion concerning the merits of the citizen who was then the selectman.” Seth declared that lie would not have voted for Jeb Parsons. W'y,” said he, I'd a great sight ruther hcv mv ol' turkey gobbler struttin’ round, an’ call him the selic'man. then thet Jeb. He hain’t wuth his salt, Jeb hain't. 'X' then yew look et.

Well. said the uncle, “don’t let that worry you. Seth. Jeb’s term's most out. and I guess he won't get elected for that office next March.” Pen and I had been at that caucus, and town meeting, too. so we expressed our opinions on the subject. All this time Abigail had been rocking and knit- ting in the chimney corner. Xow she moved toward Seth. and. prodding his shoulder with one of her knitting needles during a lull in the conver- sation. asked. Seth, hain’t vc gut some apples f’r the folks?” W’v. cert’in. cert'in. Ab’gail! exclaimed her husband. I cal’latcd t’ git them before. I swan! ef I didn’t come purtv nigh fergittin' it! S’pose ycw folks like sweet cider, don’t ve? Wall, now.” he continued, not waiting for an answer. I made some cider late this fall, an' I reckon we’ll hcv a leetle. with some o' mv Pald’in apples.” We stayed a little longer, and munched Seth’s Paldwin aoples. the finest in that part of the coun- try. and praised his cider, while the talk reverted to town meeting and the quarrel between “Square” Prown and the moderator: and Patience and Amelia regaled Abigail bv telling her about the last party they attended in Piddeford. Just as the clock struck nine, mv uncle pushed back his chair from the fireplace, and said that he thought we’d better be going, so. although thev urged us to stav. wc put on our coats and hats, and were soon readv to go. As we were bidding them good-night. Abigail spoke for almost the first time. “I’m reel glad yew folks come over to-night. Wish vc a Happv Xew Year, an’ come again some time when vew c’n stop a spell longer. Seth says so. too.” We thanked them both, and wished them manv Happv Xew Years, also. As we plodded through the drifts in the yard, we looked back into the fire- lighted room, and thought of the pleasant evening we had spent with our old neighbors. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RAD A TOR «5 THE SNOW STORM OF JANUARY, '67. By Julia Kaan Smith, S. H. S., '69. | Written a few days after the storm.] 'I' was snowing fast, but we went to school as usual, and all except one or two were present. Mr. Babcock (the principal) commended us for being so punctual, adding that if we were his children he would have kept us at home. During the session the storm increased rapidly. At about one o’clock sleighs and pungs began to arrive for some of the girls. School closed at half- past one. Some of the boys went home with a few of the girls, and at last all had gone except the Spring-hill girls, including Ida Paul. Frances, and myself. To pass away time, some played on the piano, while others danced, some wrote and drew on the blackboard, and some looked over the en- cyclopedias, having nothing better to do. Miss Emery (a teacher from the grammar school below) came up to tell us that a number of little boys and girls were down stairs, and were unable to go home; that they had hot coffee and pics and cakes which we might share with them. So one of the girls went down and brought up some. A short time afterwards a sleigh came and took away five of our number, leaving five high school pupils. Then another sleigh came, and two more went. When they were gone it was lonesome enough. It was growing dark: the storm kept on in all its fury, and on account of the wind's driving the snow about, nothing could be seen a few rods from the window. It was so dreary upstairs in the great, empty schoolroom, that we (Ida. Frances, and I) went down to the grammar school. The two ladv teachers, besides about twelve or fourteen very small boys and girls, were there. Those who brought our provisions said that the snow was over a man's head in many places, and some of those who went away in sleighs had to re- main all night in strangers' houses, or walk the rest of the way home. Besides the teachers and scholars, there were going to remain oyer night to guard us. two gentlemen from the neighborhood, the janitor, and a high school boy. named May- nard. who also lived near-by. He went from his house to the school several times bringing provi- sions and blankets. When bed-time came the men and boys had the use of one recitation room and we the other. We had our shawls for covering and waterproofs for pillows. I he little girls were soon asleep. It was not such an easy matter for the older ones, but still they all bad three or four hours’ sleep except Ida and me. Our pil- low. a waterproof, was so very low and hard and rough that we could not rest. We took our boots 'The High School then occupied the second floor of the present City Hall, a grammar school the lower floor. and placed them under the waterproof, but it did not mend the matter much. The teachers had um- brellas for their pillows, and I have no doubt they were much softer than boots. The hours passed slowly. At times it seemed as if the wind would take our schoolhouse away as easily as it would a feather, so fierce was it. Within we could hear the breathing of the sleepers, and the ticking of the clock. The fire cast a bright, cheerful light on the opposite wall, and if we only had had a better pil- low. and if. more than all. we could have known that our parents knew how very comfortable we were, considering all the circumstances, we should have enjoyed it. In the morning the weather seemed no better. The boys had had less sleep than the girls, if that were possible. We had a very good breakfast, though little appetite for it. When the time came for school to begin only two or three high school boys came. Shortly afterwards the man that drove the plough, for breaking up the road came in and said that we might have to pass another night in the schoolhouse About ten o'clock Ida's father and brother came. They told us it was impossible to get home. Miss Emery and Miss Preston had already gone with some gentlemen who had come for two little girls. The idea of only three girls staying in the building all alone over night was not to be thought of. so we got ready and followed the plough. We had not gone far before it got stuck. The best thing we could do was to go into the nearest house, and wait. It chanced to be the home of a schoolmate, and we passed a very pleasant hour while waiting for the sleigh which was to take us home. We rode back past the schoolhouse along High- land avenue, and so on until we arrived at the flag staff. Here one of the gentlemen who were with us said we must go into his house and have some dinner before we went farther. His wife received us very kindly, and after dinner we started again along Milk row (now Somerville avenue). Frances and I hoping we could get through Park street. As that was out of the question. Ida kindly invited us to stay at her house until it was possible to get borne. Mrs. Paul was glad enough to sec her daughter again, and welcomed us very pleasantly. Frances and I had begun to give tip all thought of reaching home that night, but just as we we-e through supper some one knocked at the door. It was father and brother George. We little ex- pected to see them, and were very glad to be able to go home. The way all along was fairly good, though we could walk only single file. Father and George and some of our neighbors had shoveled a path through the field. In some places the snow was almost as high as our heads on each side. So at last we arrived at home, and thus ended our ad- venture. up SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 86 ,E., '03, Class Dance.

The shades of eve were drawing near, The day was waning fast: The snow had spread its mantle white. While trees dark shadows cast; The clouds were gray with threatening mien. And all about there seemed. An air of mystery so deep. It made unreal the scene. Upon the mountain, grim and drear. There stood a gray-haired sage: 11 is face was old and sad and worn. His shoulders, bent with age. When suddenly the dark clouds broke, The moon poured forth its light; And now there stood a little child In garments pure and white. His voice rose high above the wind. In accents sweet and clear: While neighboring bells their welcome rang Come in! ( . glad New Year! L F CIub. The last meeting of the I. !•’. Club was held at the home of Marion Cousens. where a very pleas- ant afternoon was passed. The club pin has been selected. Wintry Nights. By Percy Burns, E., '05. () cold and dark are the wintry nights. And thick is the frost on the panes. And the stars aloft from their giddy heights, iSlink icily down on the plains. I lard is frozen the tine, crisp snow. That glistens like ice ’neath the feet. Piercing ami sharp are the airs that blow, And whistle and moan in the street. Hark to the slow grating sledge on its way, To the jingling and clear ringing bells, To the squeak and the creak of the deep- weighted‘sleigh. What a story their music all tells. It tells unto us bv the warm fireside. In its cheerful and flickering light. That the wild raving wind is roaming outside. And that cold is the keen, frosty night. A Talc of the Deep. By H.

()nc of the most exciting games of basket ball of the season took place at Bacon hall, when the two upper classes of the English school met for their annual game. In the first half both teams scored nine points each. In the second period. 1903 started with a rush and scored seven points, but during the last three minutes of play the Juniors outplayed the Senior boys, and by fine goal throwing on the part of Bean, succeeded in tying the score. Some doubt existed at the time as to the true score, some claiming that 1904 had won, JG-14. A game will be played in the near future to settle the supremacy of the two classes:— 1903. 1904.

P KIJRl'ARY’S alternate snows and thaws foretell the winter's end. Three months of ice and snow are about to be changed to unlimited mud and rain, with intervals of sunshine. Jack Frost has been remarkably considerate of us in the days that are usually so cold, as if kindly remembering the lack of coal. We are certainly grateful for this thoughtfulness at a time when continued zero weather would have brought grim death to many a household, and no 011c would complain at a delayed summer because of the comparatively mild winter that is just coming to an end. 100 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'I'llIS month's issue of the Radiator is the staff number. Such a number is not always pre- pared. because it is sometimes quite impossible to fill the whole paper with contributions from the staff alone. A most earnest effort has been made to offer material worthy of the officers of the Radiator, and we sincerely hope this issue will meet with approval � 5 91 1 y J X these days when both schools are crowded and found inadequate to the demands put upon them, and when additions and new buildings arc be- ing constantly talked of. it seems appropriate to suggest the need of an office for the Radiator. The subject is old. but it becomes more important every year: for the paper is steadily advancing, and each set of officers must put forth greater efforts than their predecessors to conquer the endless diffi- culties that arise with every step in advance. Perhaps the importance and magnitude of the paper may seem more impressive when we say that the Radiator does a business of over a thousand dol- lars a year. There are numerous trifles that con- sume great volumes of time which might be obvi- ated by an office. It would be tedious to recount them here, did space admit. Enough has been said in these columns on the subject before. We most earnestly recommend the matter to the city fathers’ attention when plans are made for another building. y y y y 'j' 11 E coal men seem to be getting their hair pulled rather generously. Revelations of money- grabbing that would bring a blush even to the cheeks of the oil magnates have come to light. What to do with these combines is not going to be settled in the near future, for if legislation is ar- ranged to restrain our great industrial corporations, as fo xl combines, and transportation and navigation companies, how are we to divide the sheep from the goats? It appears, however, that something is go- ing to be tried, and the coal inquiry is a step in that direction. The mournful wailings of the dealers are heart-breaking indeed. It appears, from the utterances of the coal clubs, that some of the poor members of the aforesaid will lose a fortune because the fcelingless public has hammered the price down by its legislative threats. These philanthropists arc to be pitied. It is a shame that men who. by buy- ing coal at a loss to protect the Boston market, should suffer thus as a result of their good inten- tions. Truly it is sad to think that any one of the least of these is to lose a fortune, for he will prob- ably not have more than two or three left. POXCLUSIYE evidence that the world is grow- ing better is brought out by the fact that fewer love stories have been submitted to the Radiator this year than usual. y LAST month’s account of the Latin '06—Latin ’05 basket ball game was omitted because of lack of space. We are sorry that such things must occasionally occur, but when the amount of mate- rial presented for each issue is considered, it will readily be seen that we cannot always make every- thing come out just even. This month the line-ups of several basket ball games arc omitted of necessity. It is hoped that our patrons will have patience with us. as such things must happen at times. y y y, y J E wish to acknowledge the kindness of the Bos- ton Globe in allowing a member of our staff to go through its entire plant to write an article on newspaper publishing for the Radiator. The friendliness of many papers and magazines toward the Radiator is an important factor in the success of the latter, and something much appreciated by its officers. y y y y 'J'HE Radiator would like to buy a few October numbers of this volume See the manager or editor. y y y y J !■' the readers of the Radiator would take pains to patronize our advertisers, the paper would profit immensely by it. y y y y RECENT writer in Cassier’s Magazine talks of using hot springs for domestic heating pur- poses. and geysers for power production. A hint to the wise is sufficient. y k y y IT is a pleasure to have the pictures of the foot- ball boys as a frontispiece this month. The photograph was taken under some difficulties, and Mr. Purdy is to be thanked that it is as good as it is. y y y y p 1E woman in politics is making a reputation for herself in Utah, much to the consternation of the club women of the country. y y y y pROM what the peaceful blockade” of the powers has developed into, we hope that they will not impose a war blockade upon Venezuela. y y y y OMF. of our friends will soon be discussing the “Creation” from very elevated points of view. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHO - L RADIATOR 101 PATROLMAN RILEY. By Edwin P. Fitzgerald, L., '03. X police circles lie was known as Pa- trolman James Riley.of Division Two. but on his beat he was Jim Riley, the cop.” At headquarters. Patrol- man Riley had the reputation of be- ing an honorable, efficient officer, who for several years had kept almost perfect order in a part of the city known as the Point. which had always been a source of anxiety to the police, while on his route he made fewer arrests and more friends than any other officer in the division, and soon acquired the distinc- tion of being the most popular cop in the divi- sion. Everybody knew Jim. The men stopped to talk with him: the ladies nodded to him: and even the children, who usually look upon a police- man as a dread monster, all loved him and crowded around him whenever the opportunity presented it- self. in fact. Jim was the good Samaritan of the Point. Many a poor unfortunate. much the worse for his night's spree, had been picked up by him and piloted to Ins home, while on two different oc- casions he had plunged into the river after children who had fallen in. and at the risk 01 his own life had brought them safely to the shore. So. when we ado these acts to many others of the same nature, it is small wonder that he en- joyed tms universal popu- larity. On the Point was Schneider’s saloon, owned and operated by one Carl Schneider, a big German of very generous proportions, who reaped a rich har- vest from the insatiate thirst of those who were accustomed to congregate at his place. Now. Schneider, because of his very liberal contribution to the annual campaign fund, was one of the politi- cal powers that be in the ward, and of late his in- fluence had grown so steadily that everyone ac- knowledged that Schneider was the boss of the ward, and a man whose desires could not be gain- said. Recently Schneider had been taking advan- tage of his influence, to the extent of running his saloon without regard to ordinances or regulations, early, late, and at any and all times when it was possible to take in a dollar. Riley had reported the doings of Schneider on several different occasions, but each time his com- plaint was side-tracked, and nothing more was ever heard of it. The reason for this was very obvious to Riley, who realized Schneider's “pull to the fullest extent, and knowing that his efforts in this direction were futile, he went back to his beat, try- ing to persuade himself that he had done his duty. Parly one Sunday morn- ing. as he was passing Schneider's place of busi- ness. which at the time was running at full blast, the clamor which arose forced him to stop. To be sure, the curtains had been drawn, but this could not deaden the shouts of the drinkers, the clatter of the glasses, the merry laughs, and the bursts of revelrv which broke forth at fre- quent intervals. As Riley stood there, the sacrilege of the whole affair im- pressed him deeply as he thought of the Lord's Day being thus grossly de- based. The more he thought of it. the more he became convinced that lie ought to stop it. if only for a day. cost what it might. Should he as a man turn his back? No! He should not. and further- more. he would not. With this resolve he pulled his helmet down firmly on his head, and with a deter- mined step strode across side door of Schneider's with his countenance pale and set. He pushed his way through the crowd, nearly all of whom lie knew, dis- regarding invitations to drink, which were prof- fered on every hand, and breaking away from groups of men who attempted to engage him in conversation, until at last he gained the bar. behind which Schneider was putting out his stock in trade .••lid taking in the national currency, with a grin which seemed to grow wider every moment. Here was the crucial point in the whole affair, but Rilev never for an instant wavered, as he leaned over the the street to the place, and entered. 102 SOM HR VILLE IIIGIl SCHOOL RADIATOR bar, and touching the big proprietor on tile shoul- der, said in a steady voice, ‘ Here, Schneider, you close this place up and come with me.'’ This re- mark brought forth a hearty laugh from Schneider, which was added to by those in the immediate vicinity, and soon every person in the place was crowded around the spot to enjoy what each con- sidered a practical joke, with Riley as the perpe- trator. Again lie demanded that the place be closed, and once more the crowd, which was in the best of humor, howled with glee, and when some one proposed three cheers for ‘ Jim Riley, the most popular cop in the division. the yell that went up could have been heard blocks away. Rut the big policeman seemed unconscious of all that was going on around him. and reaching over the bar, he obtained a firm grip on Schneider's shoulder, and fairly shrieked, Come on, Schneider. 1 mean it; if you don't come. I'll take you. At this the grin left the face of the big Orman, and the crowd, too. began to comprehend. Yes. Riley was in earnest. Why. what did he mean? Didn't he realize that Schneider was the most influential man in the ward Rut. nevertheless, it was so. and when the proprietor motioned toward the door, they left without a word, each wondering as to what pos- sessed Jim Rilev. ‘ ()f course the inevitable happened. K very body expected it. even Riley. The lieutenant in charge at the station, after a thousand pardons, had as- sured Schneider that it was all a mistake, called a cab. and sent him home. A few days later, when Patrolman James Riley was ordered transferred to Division Kightcen for further duty, his fellow-offi- cers exchanged knowing glances, and everybody looked upon the incident as simply the logical out- come of the whole affair and additional evidence of Schneider's influence. They all agreed that it served Riley right for being ‘‘so fresh. to use their exact language, and assumed a cool bearing toward the man who. a few days ago. was their popular idol. o It was on one of those sultry summer nights, when Riley was returning home, after having been on duty the first half, musing to himself and think- ing of Schneider, yes. Schneider, the man who caused his transfer, the man who was responsible for the cold attitude of his former friends toward him. and his practical exile, when, unconsciously, he glanced up at the house of the wealthy German as if he half expected to find him peering out of the window and sneering. Rut no. What did he sec? F.ven as he looked, the house became a fiery red. and a burst of flame darted through the open win- dow. followed by another and another. At the sight of the flames. Riley forgot all else, his enmity for Schneider, his transfer, yes. everything, everything except the red fire which broke forth, eager to destroy. lie dashed back to the corner, pulled the alarm, and immediately ran back to the house to arouse the inmates. Without a moment’s hesitation, he rushed up the stairs to the upper hall, and pushed open a door which he had groped against in the dense smoke. Peering in, he saw two small chil- dren sleeping peacefully, entirely unaware of their danger, with the flames playing all about them. Protecting his face with his arms as best lie could,he burst through the flames, took the children, one in each arm. groped his way through the smoke to the staircase, and feeling his way down, at length gained the street with his little charges, just as the department whirled around the corner, together with the advance guard of the crowd which is al- ways attracted by the dread signal of fire. Retween their sobs, the children told Riley that papa was the only one in the house that night, that their mother was away on a visit, that the servants were olT at a ball, and gave him directions, in their childish way, as to how to get to his room. He left them to the care of the big crowd, which was growing larger every minute, and despite the pro- tests of the firemen, who attempted to persuade him that to enter the house was hardly less than suicide, broke away and plunged once more into the hall- wav. which was now completely filled with smoke, enlivened here and there by tongues of flame, which broke forth in growing fury. If it had been a difficult matter to reach the landing before, it was double difficult now. and several times Riley was almost compelled to turn back by the billows of smoke, which prevented his seeing in the least, lint he would not yield. He defied the flames, he challenged the smoke, and he half walked, half crawled, until he once more gained the landing. Tie tried the door, but it was locked. He reached for his night stick, and in his des- peration rained a perfect shower of blows upon the wooden panels. At length the wood yielded, and with a mighty effort Riley sent the door crash- ing from its hinges, and burst into the room. In- side there was a raging sea of flames, but it only urged him on: he fairly hurled himself through the heated air. and grasping the prostrate form of Schneider, began his return. Rut there is a limit to the jx wer and endurance of man. and Riley was fast becoming exhausted, lie knew it. He felt it. With a mighty effort he obtained a firmer grip upon Schneider, and reeled in the direction of the stairway. Through some miracle. Riley reached the lower floor, staggered out the door, and fell unconscious, still holding tightly the stalwart form of Schneider. He did not hear the cheer that went up from that well-nigh frenzied crowd, but men wept like children, and tender hands placed him in the ambulance, while many souls gave thanks to God. and prayed that Rilev might survive. When Riley at length left the hospital and was once more assigned to duty, three shining stripes on his sleeve told the story of a well-earned promo- tion. and he was known in the police circles as Sergeant James Riley of Division Two. lint along the Point,” where Schneider runs the most orderly saloon in the city, he is once more “Jim” Riley, the most popular “cop” in the division. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 103 ONE MAN’S BURDEN. By J. M. McMillin, E., '03. Half the world knows not how the other half lives.” IGHT hungry machinists sat on the shady side of the machine shop, with their lunch pails between their knees, and between mouthfuls quietly dis- cussed the trend of events. 11 ere was the noonday meeting place of a large part of the Southern Pacific Company's employees. Two engineers came over leisurely from the round- house. and before the meal had progressed far, the superintendent's messenger boy had joined the group. “Well. said the last comer, a blustering, self- important fellow, I guess it's all up with old Nick- erson. Nobody seemed inclined to answer. Nickerson had been the power-house fireman, and was a sour, distant fellow, whose death had brought, apparently, little sympathy or interest from anybody, for the whole forenoon had passed without his having been alluded to. “Funny fellow. suggested one of the switchmen thoughtfully, as he picked a fly out of his coffee, but he was a little too haughty for me.” The jaws kept on grinding, and the little flies pursued their occupation with customary diligence. A big locomotive standing near by occasionally blew off steam with a harsh roar that grated on the nerves of those of the party who were thoughtful. Yes.” said a machinist who had finished and was preparing his pipe for its mid-day duty. I guess he. might as well be on the other side as any place else, for all the interest he took in things around him. I should say so. added Carl, the messenger bov, meanwhile subduing a piece of apple pic. “You know he wouldn't even eat with us fellows.” 1 know it.” somebody replied, and he always went around with a long face—queer fellow; give me a match. Carl. What do you suppose ailed him? asked the foreman, crossing his legs for greater comfort. “Oh. 1 guess his head hurt him. and that's about all. said Carl. lust like an upstart like you! exclaimed one of the engineers, who for some moments had been looking gloomily toward the distant Wahsatch mountains, but at the same time lending one car to the conversation. Little grouty yourself to-day. I guess.” replied Carl. O. shut up! impatiently exclaimed the other: and the locomotive standing near by replied with a sympathetic “chu-chu. chu-chu. as it pumped air into its leaky brake-tank. Everybody turned in- quiringlv at the last speaker. Why, what's the matter? asked the foreman. Carl replied: I guess his old woman forgot to put some toothpicks in his lunch box. Better cut this short. Carl. said one of the switchmen to him. in an effort to establish peace. Look here, fellows. said the engineer, when an oil-motor won't work right, do you throw it away? Of course. replied the messenger boy trium- phantly. and receiving a scowl in return. Not at all. continued the other speaker; you send for somebody who knows something about it. The most respectful silence followed, and each man nodded approvingly from behind his pipe, at- tentively awaiting whatever else was to follow. Well.” pursued the engineer, this man Nicker- son is a fellow you don't know anything about, and as 1 do. you had better let me tell you something before you judge him. Open the bombardment. said Carl, whereupon his neighbor whispered to him not to play with fire lest he get burned. You sec. resumed the engineer, I had him rooming at my house a while, and we got to be mighty good friends. He told me all about it — how there was nothing in life for him. and the whole world looked dark. Guess you didn't know that he used to be a lawyer for the Southern Pacific in Frisco, did you? Everybody's open-eyed expres- sion assured the speaker that his audience was at- tentive. Well, he was. anyway. You see. he went on. as he adjusted himself comfortably in a business-like manner, when Nickerson left the law school, he got married----“ Naturally.” said Carl. And.” continued the story-teller, directing a frown toward Carl that meant things, he lived in a town back East somewhere. His wife was a law- yer. too. mind you—he was no small potatoes. I can tell you. liut the match wasn't a good one. after all. He tried hard to make it a success, you understand, but everything seemed to go against him. and their little girl—he showed me her picture —was all that kept them together. Well, one day when he came home from a big case, he found that his wife had decamped and taken the girl. too. Then, of course, the story got out. and Nickerson felt so bad that, after having done everything he possibly could to find them, he simply packed up and went clear to California before he stopped. “He went to Frisco.” continued the man who knew, and was a lawyer for the Southern Pacific for about a vear. Well, one day lie got a letter from a claimant of the company telling him to go and see his lawyer on Market street and lie would 104 SOMKR VILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR settle . So Ik took liis bundle of papers to the other fellow's office, and when lie opened the door and went in. it was his wife who was the lawyer! Here the engineer paused, drew a few minutes upon his wheezy pipe, and resumed: Well, of course he tried to patch it up. you understand, but she told him to leave. He did his best, but she was as firm as iron : and when she pushed a button to call police, he turned to go. As lie neared the door, lie saw his little girl looking from a side room: and quick as a flash he caught her in his arms and ran like a deer down the corri- dor, with the frightened child crying at the top of her voice, and his screaming wife running after them. I� ut it was no use: he tripped on the stair- way and fell square into the arms of two big police- men. lie was in jail in less than five minutes, and the child was restored to its mother. Xow. would you believe it. that woman went down and swore out a warrant against poor Nickerson. Think of it! When she had gone away, flushed with her victory, one of his friends bailed him out and told him to skip the country for a while, at least, and he did: for In- knew that he would soon be in the pen if he didn't. The engineer looked out again upon the snow- capped peaks in the distance, and his mind seemed to lie following Nickerson as lie fled about the country, pursued by his relentless fate. No man spoke, and the spell was only broken by the eternal ni-ni-m of the dynamo in the building. Vou remember. continued the narrator, when he came here and asked for a job. Well, lie came straight from Frisco, because he got news of the death of his little daughter, and he resolved to come away from California and leave his wife to reflect alone. That's how he came here, sad and surly. That's why the sun didn't shine for him. and there was nothing to live for but to hide his face from the world. Now you can say he was a crank if you think so lie told me all about it. fellows, and it made my heart bleed. When he came here he was big and strong: but. with all hope forever dead in his breast, he simple withered awav like a fallen leaf. As the narrative ended, every listener looked thoughtfully into space, and inwardly rebuked him- self. Every pipe had long since gone out. When the hoarse , sonorous whistle broke the silence, each man went softly and quietly to the office to get half a day oft' to go to Nickerson's funeral. And when, that afternoon, they silently, one by one. looked into his ashen face and saw the pain and bitter anguish written there, every man felt a pang of re- gret that he had lost an opportunity to comfort a starving heart. UNDER THE TROPICAL SUN. An Incident of the Spanish-American War By Leslie Harding UK latter part of June, and a typical New England village, a white painted church hiding on one side of the broad country road: on the other, a country store. To the rear of the church a cemetery: in front of the store a sleepy horse standing unhitched, and pa- tiently watched by an equally sleepy dog. This is all Aside from the dejected-looking animal and his faithful guardian, no other life can be seen the entire length of the quiet street. Here and there an old-fashioned farmhouse, sur- rounded by willows, stands dreamily in the rays of the afternoon, sun. Rut what is there of interest here in this peaceful little town?

Let me tell you. lour houses away from this centre, if we may so call it. stands a (plaint little home, possibly a trifle more weather-beaten than some of its neighl ors, but si ill having that characteristic attractiveness belonging solely to a country homestead. ()ne of its front windows is open, and sitting nearby, where the warm summer wind gently stirs the scant white locks of hair, is an old lady. A pair of spectacles are pushed back on her forehead, and on her face there is a tender, careworn expres- sion. and the wistful, far-away look in her mild blue eyes tells us that her thoughts are. indeed, at a distance from the drowsy country town. ()n the wall above the simple mantelpiece hangs a flag-draped picture of a sailor boy. Barely dis- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR '05 tinguishablc, on the band of the round sailor hat, from under which looks a strong and manly face, are the words. U. S. S. Puritati. From time to time, the moist eyes of the old lady wander from that land afar to the gilt frame reposing against the background of red, white, and blue. Perhaps you would like the story. Here it is as I heard it. It happened the previous year—just a short time ago, and yet— It was in July. '98, and off the coast of Cuba, on board the United States ship Puritan.” The time was sunset, but the deck was a scene of consider- able commotion, for word had just been received that the ‘ Puritan would proceed down the coast to Matanzas, and cut the cables of the enemy in the early morning. And so at twelve that night, the Puritan stole from out the circle of slowly-moving ships on blockade in front of Havana. dash of slightly less than fifty miles brought Maya Point light into view, at the entrance of Ma- tanzas Bay. Dawn was just breaking as the call went around for volunteers to put off in a small boat and cut the cables. To a man the noble crew responded, but all could not go, and amid much suspense, lots were cast, and seven sailors, with an ensign, stepped to the starboard deck.—a boy from a lazy little New England village among them. Slowly the ship steamed in toward shore, until when within three-quarters of a mile the anchor dropped, and a white launch with eight men was lowered over the side. Guns from Morrilio castle and San Sevcrini castle began to shell the invaders, and guns from the Puritan answered the chal- lenge. The little launch, meanwhile, had been gotten under way. and with much audacity headed straight for the shore. As it neared the beach, it became the special target of the smaller guns of Morrilio: shot struck right and left of it. but did no damage , the steady chunk, chunk of the engine continued unceasingly. No word was spoken on the little craft: all realized the hazard of their mission. The green shore lay a bare quarter of a mile away before the boat slowed and word was received to lower the grapnels. Puffs of white smoke and the whizzing of shot were all that broke the peace fulness of the little bay. Could it be possible that history was being made here? A glance at the eight paled faces answered this. Find anvthing? from the officer. “No. sir. from the man at the grapnels. Ten feet further. “Here's one, sir. Up came a section of the cable, larger hands seized it. and a New England boy. with a swift blow of the axe. severed it. Bang! A shot from Morrilio tore through the stack of the engine. “They are getting our range. called the officer. “Hurry there: there’s one more. Put down vour irons and go ahead slowly.” The peril increased each moment. Perhaps that country bov paled a trifle more, but that was all. Slowly the boat moved ahead. Ten. twenty, thirty, fifty feet nearer the shore. Yes, the irons caught something. Here she is, sir. came from the sailor on the bow. Again a length of cable came out of the water. Success at last! But no,—the nearer whistle of a bullet and a cry from the boat! The man holding the cable fell backward into the boat, and the cable and irons went over the side. One had scarce time to think when the boy. whose mother is sitting in the New England vil- lage absorbed in recollection, with a cry of “Hold her. sir. as she is. jumped overboard, in the face of the increasing fire. With one man wounded and another in the water, excitement seized the crew. Would he never come up? It seemed ages since that flash of white had shot over the side. A shot plowed a furrow along the deck. There, sir. came the glad cry from one of the men. A few feet away a head appeared above the water, followed by a small pair of hands clutching a small, mud-covcrcd rope. Willing arms laid hold of the cable, while others grasped the daring sailor. Another shot struck the little craft, as a well- directed blow cut the remaining cable, and with a splash it fell back into the water. But. though the success of the mission was now assured, another life was to pay for the accom- plished work. The last shot tore loose a timber from its place, and just as the brave youth staggered to his feet, once more aboard the boat, a flying splinter struck him full in the breast. Instantly the little launch put about, but it was too late to save a brave life. Back to the Puritan” she raced, still the mark for Spanish bullets. Tenderly the son of that New England village was passed on board, and the silent, bareheaded men stood about, while the surgeon shook his head. When Havana was reached a fever had set in. and a transport took the delirious hero north. By that same tiny church, by that same dozing little store, up that tranquil country street they bore him. to the cottage among the willows. Here he lived one short week, and then— no need to say more. The light of the descending sun is already fad- ing. and a lengthening shadow has stealthily crept across the picture of a sailor boy and its back- ground of red. white, and blue. Brushing aside a tear, the mother returns from her reverv. returns to that quiet little parlor in the quaint little town : while in front of the store the horse is aroused from his meditations and home- ward wearily jogs his way. io6 SOM MR VILLIv HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR WHICH FIRST?

Now, J should like to know why we had to quarrel just at this time. she exclaimed, almost w eeping, if the truth must be toid. “There's Alice Jackson’s party coming off next week, and 1 know that he will be invited. And he will go, too, just to spite me. and I—well—I shall go just to spite him. The invitations were sent out the next day. It was to be a masquerade. Within a few days, Alice Jackson, who was to be the hostess of the evening, saw each of the boys who were invited, and asked him to cross off from her list the name of one of the giris for whom he would call. She also saw the girls, and asked them to change houses for that evening. This, since everyone must be masked, she anticipated would create a great deal of fun. Helen Lincoln, as soon as she learned this, con- trived a plan so that she might end their quarrel, have her evening’s fun. and still not appear to be the arbitrator. She had found out that Ralph was to call for her chum. Mary Oliver. That was the beginning of her scheme. She would change houses with Marv: they were nearly the same height, so Ralph would never suspect, and she could say anything she pleased to help the cause along. As Ralph stood arranging the lace cravat of his George Washington costume, he thought. “I wish I hadn’t been in such a hurry to be angry with Helen the other night. I hope Mary is ready: I do so hate to wait for a girl to do this or that, when she might just as well be ready.” Much to his surprise, however. Mary, as he sup- posed. answered the door herself, masked, it is true, but in the most becoming costume imagin- able. representing Miss Liberty. His spirits rose. What did he care if he and Helen weren’t on good terms? It took her but a moment to get her wraps on. and they started off in silence. Ah! what a cold she had! The voice sounded hoarse and unnat- ural. as. after a few minutes' pause, she said. “Helen told me that you and she had a disagreement the other night. What was it all about? I am fond of playing peacemaker. Perhaps I can help you.” At first he rather resented this abrupt reference to an affair so personal, but deciding it was of no tise to be angry, he replied: “Pll tell you this much, Mary.- never mind what was the cause of the trouble, it was a small affair,—that T am mighty sorry it happened, although I would not tell her so. Still, I don’t think I was any more to blame than she. What has she been saying to you about it? Not much of anything, only that she didn’t care whether you came to-night or not. I'm not particular whether or not she is there,” he answered, although he knew while he was speak- ing that he did not mean it. “Now. Ralph. I hope you and Helen will smooth that little matter over to-night. Be careful what you say before we unmask, though.” Laughing as she said this, she quickly ran up the stairs, leav- ing him to gaze after her. I’pstairs. each girl was excitedly talking about her walk up. Miss Liberty by no means being the least enthusiastic among them. “And I am to have the first and last waltzes with him.” The first dance passed off without their returning to the dreadful subject even once. But during that time Ralph took particular pains to sec that he had the dance with her during which they were to unmask. How long it seemed till he came back for it “It's unbearably hot here; let's go out on the piazza for a few minutes.” suggested Miss Liberty, as Ralph came up for her. “Now. Ralph. I want you to tell me what you truly think about your little dispute with Helen.” she said, as he put her cape around her shoulders. “I don’t see why you arc so inquisitive about that affair. It's nothing to you. is it?” he said, becom- ing indignant. “Yes. indeed it is. T know Helen’s view of it. She would like very much to be on good terms with vou again, although you may not believe it.” Why. Mary, I didn’t suppose it would make any difference to you. As I told you before, it was a small matter—T would rather not tell you just what it was- -but T was a little too hasty: but she did provoke me. I am truly sorry, and if she would only give in first. I would gladly agree to any proposition.” 'T am glad to hear you say that. By the way, T shall have something to say to you before we leave. Come, let’s go back, for the music has stopped, and we want to see them unmask.” Then snatching off her own mask, she said. “Ralph!” He could not think of a single word to say, but she smilingly said. “Who gave in first? I am rather inclined to think you were the first to say Tm sorry.’ ” “Yes.” he answered, “but you were the first to really make a move toward righting the wrong. Still. I'm glad it’s over, aren’t you? Let’s—” But. unfortunately, just then a voice unpleas- antly near was heard calling. “Where’s Helen? We want her to help serve the refreshments.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RAD. A TOR 107 HOW A NEWSPAPER IS PRINTED. By Clyde Scott, E., 05. or. know labor daily the Globe access to )W many of us ever pause, as we read over the newspapers, to think of what a vast amount of labor has been ex- pended that we may have the news brought to our homes? There are very few persons who at least, realize the amount of necessary to produce one of our great newspapers. Through the courtesy of management. 1 was enabled to gain some of the most interesting and forbidden departments, thus enabling me to give to the patrons of the Radiator an account of the magnitude of a modern newspaper. 'I'he first step, of course, is to obtain the reading matter. For this purpose there are employed three hundred and fifty reporters and corrcspond- weighs over a ton. I. was informed that to run the entire linotype plant for one day requires 5,500 pounds of metal of which to make the type. Each machine consumes 180 feet of gas per day to keep this lead melted. Aside from the machines, 19,000- pounds of display type is used in setting up adver- tisements. While the reporters and typesetters are getting the reading matter, the artists and engravers are busv making the illustrations. At the time of my visit, the art department had just been moved into a new building where there was better equip- ment. In this department there are three large copying cameras used to photograph the artists’ work. This department is a complete en- graving company in itself. There are twenty men employed in the manufacture of plates for the A HOE PRESS. Such mammoth machines as this are required to print the modern newspaper. cuts, who are stationed all over the world. News is also obtained by means of the telephone and the telegraph instruments, of which there are fifty; for each department has its own telephone, telegraph, and corps of reporters. The editorial staff is composed of one hundred fifty men. Three papers are edited by this force, the morning, evening, and Sunday editions. The news received, it is sent to the composition room, where two hundred men arc employed. The type is set (excepting captions and display advertise- ments) by Mcrgcnthaler linotype machines. They are operated somewhat as the typewriter is. but arc much more intricate. They are composed of 5,220 separate pieces. The operator is enabled to set six and a quarter newspaper lines in a minute. The machine not only sets the type, but it moulds it as well. There arc forty-three of these linotype machines in almost constant use. Each machine paper. This includes the artists, photographers, and engravers. As soon as the cuts are made, they are sent down to the composition room and locked up in their proper positions in the forms with the type. The forms are then taken to the stereotype room. Here the final plates are made for printing the paper, i )vcr the form is placed a mat composed of moist blotting paper and other paper which is specially prepared. 'I'he whole is then put into a hot press and squeezed until a deep impress of the type and cuts is made. At the same time the paper is heated and hardened to such an extent as to resist the molten lead. This paper is called the matrix, and it is put into a semi-circular casting-box. where a metal plate is cast, being an exact reproduction of the form, excepting that it is semi-circular instead of flat. The plates weigh fifty-four pounds on the aver- 108 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR age, and are made 'including the matrix) in nine minutes. Nine and one-half tons of metal are used daily in making these platcS. From the stereotype room the plates arc sent to the presses, which, owing to their weight and vi- bration. are in the basement. The plates are fas- tened to the cylinders of the presses, the largest press carrying sixty-four full-page plates at a time. The paper is also loaded into the presses in large rolls, such as may be seen being hauled through the streets on trucks. One of these rolls weighs 1.200 pounds, enough to print 7,500 eight- page papers. Two hundred nineteen and one- fourth tons of paper arc used each week. I stood watching the papers coming from the press and thought to count them. 1 tried sev- eral times in vain, finding that the most I could count was four, and felt then as though one or two had been missed. One of the pressmen (there are several required to operate each press) who had been watching, beckoned to me and informed me that the press was printing ! n fourteen-page papers a minute! He was shouting at the top of his voice, but I could scarcely hear him. The presses are about ten feet high, and arc composed of from 15,000 to 24.000 pieces, according to size. There are eight of them, and with three of them running. I had a very strange experience. No - matter how loudly I yelled. I was unable to hear myself speak. This was very annoying, for I felt that others would not understand my questions. But, strange to say, they did. and I could also hear them, for they seemed to know how to speak so as to be heard above the roar. These eight presses have a capacity of 516,000 papers in an hour. They are as bright now as the day they were set up. To keep them in this con- dition. more than one-half a ton of cotton waste is used each month. For printing the Radiator covers, two pounds of ink is more than sufficient, but here I learned that 10,662 pounds is used each week. The plant which furnishes the power for the presses and the linotype machines has a capacity of over 8,300 horse-power, and nine tons of coal each day is required to produce this power. For the use of the editors and reporters, there is a library containing more than 2,000 bound vol- umes of books upon every known subject. Here ! saw a bound volume of the Globe, it contained two months' publication. It was newspaper size, and about five inches thick. There i� a very important feature in the news- paper editing known as the box file. In this file are the obits (obituaries) of all the important people living. These “obits fill over l.Ono boxes, alphabetical!} arranged, each box containing 250 envelopes. These envelopes contain in all about 6,000.0(H) news items all ready for use. The mis- cellany contains 00.000 articles on cities, states, armies and navies of the world, besides a vast amount of general information. This is a total of nearly ,000,000 pieces, any one of which can be obtained in ten seconds or less. They have also nearly a complete record of all crimes and crim- inals in the United States. The photograph cabinet contains over 5,000 photos, measuring from twelve to forty inches in length. The photograph department has on hand 25,000 half-tone plates. The method of filing is so exact that any one of these plates can be furnished and mounted, ready for use. in five minutes. In the ad room arc over five tons of cuts, mounted and unmounted, but any one of these is also easily accessible. On the top floor is the dining room for the use of the Globe's employees. It is completely fitted wit!� all the modern appliances. The fare is good and the prices arc reasonable, even though it is the highest dining-room in Boston!

There are many interesting features which space forbids mentioning, but I would advise those who have the opportunity to visit this building, for such a visit is not only entertaining, but highly instruct- ive.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 109 NAN. By Edna Pcllard Jones, L., '03. II, Nan, do hurry, or else we can never make them. 'Tin coming ' and a little girl came out into the yard, carrying in both her little hands an old tin can filled with water. Her eyes were glued on the can, for fear of spilling any of its precious contents. Indeed it was most precious, as every little girl at the asylum knew how the cook scolded if you so much as set foot in the kitchen. Poor Xan! She caught her foot, but as she fell, she clung tightly to the can. Her little cheek came against its sharp edge. Plucky Xan picked herself up; her first thought was for the water; but the can was empty. “Kate,” she cried. I've spilt all the water, so we can't make the mud pies. Xever mind. Oh, Xan. your face is bleed- ing. Ix ok, it's all running down your dress. Come, quick, into the kitchen ' “I won't; I'm going away.” “You know you can't, and Mrs. Haskell would punish you so. cried poor, bewildered Kate. 1 don't care if she does ' With this. Xan climbed, by means of the notches, the great board fence which surrounded the asylum yard. But once at the top, what was she to do? Surely to the sidewalk was too high a jump. Kate, gazing in admiration and horror, saw Xan lean over, and smiling through her tears, call “Boy. Then she heard a voice, such a kind, gentle voice, ask what was the matter. Xext Xan asked him to help her over the fence. Then she heard the voice say, AH right, little girl, you jump when I count three,—one—two—three. Then Xan. stretching out her little arms, jumped. Kate listened, but hearing nothing, went in- doors. Sitting with her old rag doll in her arms, in her little rocking chair, she wondered what had become of Xan. Everybody loved Xan: she had won the hearts of the children long ago. How willingly she gave up her playthings to the other children when they were sick or had broken theirs. When Xan jumped she was caught by two strong arms, and placed on the ground. Then the blood was gently wiped away, and the cut bound up with a great white handkerchief. “There, little woman, is that better? asked I iwrcnce Edwards, as he put her little hand in his. “Would you like a new doll, a boy doll, a real sailor? Nan looked up at him with the most radiant face he thought he had ever seen. They were obliged to go through a square in order to reach the main entrance to the Asylum. Taking Xan into a toy shop, he let her pick out the doll which she liked best. 'I hat evening, one of Lawrence Edward's friends, who had seen the whole performance, entertained a dinner party with the story. Every- body was as much surprised as amused, because Lawrence Edwards, better known as Lawrie. though a great favorite and much admired, was thought rather unapproachable. The next morning as Lawrie drove by the asylum on his way to his grandfather's, he heard a loud rapping, and looking up he saw in one of the win- dows the same radiant face of the day before, and two little hands violently waving at him. Smiling, he raised his hat as he drove by. A month before his grandfather had had a bad fall and had injured his hip in some way. so that he had been obliged to give up his active life. Consequently. Lawrie had driven out more often to the “Birches lately. In fact, he seldom missed a day. One day he was searching in vain for something new which would please his grandfather, when sud- denly an idea came to him. He knew his grand- father was passionately fond of children, and loved to have them about. Lawrie made up his mind. Through his mother Lawrie obtained the consent of Mrs. ilaskcll to take Xan out to the “Birches to spend the day. And what a day it was for Xan! She wore a new pink frock and hat. and drove with her Boy,” as she always called him. along such lovely places where she picked flowers. Then she told him all about all the dolls in the asylum, until it seemed to Lawrie that he knew every doll’s name by heart. She completely won the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Ed- wards. grandpa pronouncing her perfect, and grandma rummaging through all her old chests until she found the doll she used to play with when she was a child. For the next three days after. Mr. Edwards did nothing but fuss when he was not talking oi Xan. until finally he and grandma agreed that Xan should be taken from the asylum and live with them as their own child. A week later Lawrie brought little Xan to her new home. It seemed as if the blinds had been opened and the sunshine had entered. Grandpa, as he was always known to her. grad- ually became better and by summer he was able to walk with the aid of a cane as far as the birches. Xan always went with him. They never seemed to tire of each other's company. Here Lawrie would be sure to sec them, and Xan. hearing him whistling, would run across the field and down the road to meet him. He would swing her up in front of him and they would canter up to the stables. Then they would go back to grandpa. Xan laughing and talking happily in her childish way as she ran along beside Lawrie. The next summer. Lawrie. with his mother and I IO SOM ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR father, was obliged to go abroad on account of his mother’s health. Poor little Nan! At first she would ask day after da when her '•Rov” was coining back. Gradually she began to understand that it would be a long time. Her life at the Birches” was very happy. How different the great, old house seemed filled with young people, as it generally was now. Perhaps the two happiest days of all to Nan were the ones which every summer the children of the orphan asvlutn spent at the “Birches.” It was .Van’s seventeenth birthday and she was to give a house party to sixteen. The second morning of the party, just as they were about to start off for a ride, when the girls were being mounted, Mr. Edwards sent for Nan to come to the library. Nancy. I have great news for us. little girl. A letter has just come from Lawric. His mother has become so much better that the doctors say she can return to America. They expect to get home to- day, and Lawrie says that he is coming directly out here. What do you say to that? “Oh. won't it be fine! Do you really think that he will get here to-day. and grandpa, do you think that he will be much changed ? You know seven years is a terribly long time. Just think. I was only a little girl when he went away. “Yes. dear. 1 remember it. You have changed a great deal, but Lawrie will not be much changed. Men do not change a great deal from twenty-one to twenty-eight. Lawrie says ne can think of you onlv as a child in a little pink frock. But run along. They are all waiting for you. See. there is vour faithful squire. Jack Worthington, standing by his lady’s horse. Give your old grandpa a kiss be- fore you go.” “Please don't tease me. grandpa.” Nan whispered as she kissed him. “I do not like him any better than the rest.” All that morning and afternoon she did her best to keep her mind on what she was doing. Could it be that the hero whom she had cherished in her childish heart for seven years was coming back? Would he really come to-day ? Would he be much changed? Would he be the same Boy” that had gone away seven years before? Would he laugh as he used to in that hearty manner? Would he be as much interested in what she did and said? But. ah! Would he really come? Then she heard Tom Russell saying. “What do you think. Nan?” By force of will. Nan would keep her thoughts in their proper channel for a while, then she woubl find them wandering off again. When dinner-time came. Nan got no farther than her first thought, “would lie really come to-day.” In the evening they all went down to the “Birches.” There, while sitting in a large circle, tliev were playing “Animal. Vegetable, and Min- eral. when suddenly Nan heard a faint sound in the distance. “Listen to me.” said Nan. interrupting the game. “I want you all to promise to sit where you are until I say 'all right.' Will you promise? Eager to hear what was coming, they promised. Now. I am going down the road a little way. I assure you I will be perfectly safe. You arc all to stay just where you are.” ' I am going with you. No, you are not going one step. Jack Worthing- ton. If you break your word I will never speak to you again, remember.” “Oh, 1 say. Nan, please let me come.” “No,” and Nan was off. They could see her run lightly across the field and disappear on the road. Nan ran on down the road, until not twenty feet ahead of her. she saw a man on horseback. She stopped and waited, her cheeks burning. Was it Lawrie? What would he think of her? It was too late to run away. She could only wait and see. She knew that lie had not seen her. Suddenly looking up. however, he saw her. He gave a second glance, and then a third, and then leaping off his horse, lie cried. “Can this be little Nan?” and slipping his arm through his rein he came forward to meet her. And Nan. in all her sweet dignity, no longer stood still, but ran forward with outstretched hand. “Oh. Lawrie! we are so glad you have come back. We had begun to think that you were never coming. They walked up to the house. Perhaps his dear old grandfather and grandmother were not glad to sec hint! Then they went down to the “Birches.” where Nan gailv called all right” to the anxiously waiting grout� . The rest of the house party was a great success. Lawrie was pronounced superb by all with the ex- ception of Nan. who said nothing, and Tom Worth- ington. who was, to tell the truth, a trifle jealous. After this. Lawrie spent most of his time at the Birches In fact, grandpa insisted that he was there even more than when he hurt his hip. ()ne day. several months after, when they came home from a ride across country, they came into the librarv. Nan seemed very much excited and began speaking the minute they had entered the room. Jli. grandpa. 1 want to tell you all about it. You see this is how it happened. Last night 1 .awrie told me that he loved me. Well. I told him that he must prove it. Of course, he wanted to know how he could do that, and I told him he must jump Luhra over the bars that arc down on the plain.” Nan. you did not ask him to do anything so crazy? Do you not know that they are within three inches of seven feet, and Lubra has never jumped six and a half.” “Grandpa, dear, never mind how high Lubra has jumped before; she can jump within three inches of seven feet now, or at least she will do it for Lawrie.” Lawrie. you did not try anything so foolish. I hope. But a nod of Lawric's head told him that he had. Oh. you foolish children.” but grandpa snulcd. and Lawrie smiled as he remembered that his affect- ion for Nan. which had begun with a jump, had now reached its culmination with another.

The Girls Play a Tie Game, 19 to 19. The Senior and Junior teams of the English school opened the girls’ basket ball season at Ba- con hall. The Senior team was greatly strengthened by the presence of Miss Paon. who consented to play at the last moment. The score was decidedly close at all times. The features of the game were the playing of Miss Paon and Miss Fuller of the Senior team, and the fine work of Miss Xewton of the Junior team. 1903. 1904. Miss Fuller (capt.). h......h..

Somerville Latin Sophomores defeated the strong Quindonian basket ball team at Odd Fel- lows' hall. Winter Hill, in the fastest and most ex- citing game of the season, by a score of 21 to 17. The schoolboys were much lighter than their op- ponents, but their team work and fast playing more than made up for the difference in weight, and enabled them to clinch the game. The game was marred by rough playing by both teams, as every man was determined to keep his opponent from scoring. 'I he features of the game were the all-round work of Hafford and Burns and the goal shooting of Thumith and Smith. The summary:— Score—Latin. 24 : Quindonians. IT.

Both teams put any amount of life into their play, and the score was close throughout the entire contest. Cuddy and Bishop excelled for the winners, and Xewell played a fine game for his team.

THE blustering winds of March seem to have sud- denly resolved themselves into the most de- lightful spring weather. Bicycles and automobiles begin to conic out at just about the time the trees are budding. Welcome, springtime! The summer seemed far away with snow on the ground; but now we can rejoice that June is not so far away as it looked to be last month. T ICKKTS for the oratorio. The Creation,” to be given by the English School, will be out before long. The proceeds are to be used in decoration. When it is recalled that the school was opened in ’05 with bare walls, the plan will meet with ap- proval. It is. of course, understood that the mem- bers of the English School will support it substan- tially ; the oratorio was undertaken on their pledge 126 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR to sell a definite number of seats. I Jut. further than this, the financial good fellowship of the Latin stu- dents is confidently expected. This is surely rea- sonable : and nothing but success is looked for. Somerville will once more come before the com- munity and show what good material can be found here. I� K � . NONYMOUS communications sometimes come to the Radiator. While we are at all times grateful for criticism and suggestions, we cannot recognize unsigned writings of any sort. Stories, too. come occasionally with no name attached. The reason that such things must be ignored is that we would soon be a prey to anybody and everybody if we published material coming from unknown sources. There is no reason why a contributor should hesitate to make his identity known, for fear the manuscript may be refused; we learn by our mistakes. ► � ► 'p 11E Debating Club has withered away like an un- watered flower. This is unfortunate. Xoi only that, but it reflects a lack of interest in such things that is altogether deplorable. It may not be well to make comparisons; but there is a high school in Indianapolis not so large as ours that has gone to the extremity of establishing a Senate. They issue an annual which is far ahead of that of some colleges; but what seems incredible is. they publish a daily paper! Think of the school spirit shown in all this! Too bad the Debating Club has gone to rest: sad to think that the orchestra has been forgotten; and that dozens of other things of like nature never succeeded. � g ASEIJALL concerts are always interesting. 'I'lie plans for this year are. we are told, more extensive than ever. The usual solos, sketches, and the like. will, of course, be retained. Some ex- ceedingly novel ideas, however, have been added. So the baseball boys will be launched with all due ceremony. The outline of the programme for the evening will be found under Public Occurrences. . r � RTISTS, a word! Preparations for the June Radiator are already begun, and an unusual number of embellishments are wanted for that issue. We speak of it early enough to afford plenty of time. A few of the drawings to be made are: A head-plate for the book, to be nearly as wide as the one now in use; a tail-piece for the book, to occupy a whole page; cartoons, fancy initial letters, tail- pieces to go at the bottom of pages, etc., will be highly acceptable. Please present as early as pos- sible. y E are always interested to know what others think of us. Here are some criticisms of the Radiator, all taken from recent numbers of our exchanges. They speak for themselves:— The Somerville Radiator came forth last month with a very attractive cover. The stories, W hich’ and ‘An Incident of Old Salem Days es- pecially. were very entertaining. The paper is a good one. and we are glad to be on its exchange list.”—The Debater, Wakefield. Mass. The Radiator. Somerville. Mass., is the finest paper we have seen. Several of the stories are il- lustrated. The several departments arc all well carried out. —The Bulletin, Lawrence, Mass. The Radiator is possibly the most elaborate exchange we have. Its half-tones and general get-up are really wonderful for a school paper. File stories are also good. ‘In the Service of the Kaiser’ is a well-written descriptive sketch, and there are other stories of interest. —The Monthly Chronicle, Alexandria. Ya. The Radiator, from Somerville, Mass., is the best exchange we have this month. —High School Recorder, Poughkeepsie. N. Y.

JU EXTION the Radiator when dealing with ad- vertisers. SOMERVILI.lv HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 127 UP THE ST. LAWRENCE. By Irving F. Carpenter, L., '06. AYTXG Toronto, sometimes called the Queen City, promptly at .’1.30 P. M.. on the elegant new steamer Kingston, we were soon far out on Lake Ontario. The first i ort after leaving Toronto was the pretty vil- lage of Charlotte, which we reached at half-past nine. Early in the morning we launched out upon the majestic St. Lawrence, while before us lay the chan- nel to the famous Thousand Islands. These num- ber, in all, some seventeen hundred, and extend from Kingston to Brock ville. They vary in size and appearance from small, barren islets to large and fertile islands, and arc adorned with summer residences of all descriptions, from the tent of the camper to the home of the mil- lionaire. The romantic beauty of these islands makes them one of Canada's famous summer re- Shooting the rapids has a peculiar fascination. On nearing them the steam is shut off. and the steamer enters, with a plunge downward. The first impression is that the boat is sinking, but this soon passes off. and we eagerly watch the swirling waters ahead. Great precautions are taken by the steam- boat company, so that accidents are unknown, hour men are stationed at the wheel, which is double, and at the stern a tiller is manned, in case of emergencies. The first passage of the Long Sault Rapids was made in 1810. with the Indian Tcrrorhiahcre as pilot. The pretty Indian village of St. Regis is now seen on the right. This village has great historical in- terest for the tourist. The bell which hangs in the church tower was captured from an English cruiser, and taken to Salem. Mass. From there it was con- veyed to Deerfield. The St. Regis Indians hearing of its capture proceeded to Deerfield, attacked the sorts. The first stop among them was Clayton, that favorite haunt for fishing. Then came Round Is- land. and after that Alexandria Bay, which has been fittingly called the Saratoga of the St. Law- rence.” as it is one of the most fashionable watering places of America. The comfort and luxuries of the hotels there leave nothing to be desired. Leaving Alexandria Bay the steamer at last passed the Three Sisters, the final pickets of the archipelago, and then left the Thousand Islands be- hind. The next port was Prescott. Here a change was made from the lake steamer to the smaller and more powerful river steamer. Bohemian. Soon wcpassed through the first troubled waters of the St. Law- rence. the Galops. Next came the Rapids D11 Plat. Leaving these, the steamer passed wooded islands, and soon the tourist got his first glimpse of the Long Sault rapids. These are the first of a remark- able series of rapids, extending down the stream to Cornwall. town, massacred forty-seven of the inhabitants and carried the bell in triumph to St. Regis, where it may now be seen. The next stop was Cornwall, which is noted for its cotton and woolen mills. Below Cornwall the river expands into the beautiful Lake St. Francis. The chief attraction of a sail down this lake is the distant Chateauguay range, a branch of the Adi- rondack's. At the entrance to the lake is Stanley Island, a popular resort within fifty miles of Mon- treal. and noted for its duck shooting. At the lower end is Coteau. which, with its small French houses, shows that we are at last in French Canada. Leaving Coteau the steamer passed under the magnificent iron bridge of the Canada Atlantic railway. This bridge is about one mile and a half long. Below this bridge wc entered the Coteau Rapids, where an expedition under General Am- herst was lost in 1759. Next come the Cedar Rapids, then the Split Rock Rapids, the most diffi- cult of navigation. Soon the Cascade 128 SOM ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Rapids, which arc very beautiful, appear. The fall of the river in the last eleven miles is eighty- four feet. Below the Cascade Rapids the river expands into Lake St. Louis. Almost at its head the Ottawa discharges its waters into the broad St. Lawrence, but the brown color of one, and the green tint of the other do not mingle readily, so that the two can be easily distinguished for some distance. After issuing from this lake we passed the town of Lachine, founded by La Salle in 1G70. Here the famous Lachine Canal, built to avoid the rapids, begins. We soon passed under the bridge of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and after a short sail, dashed into the Lachine Rapids, the most fa- mous of them all. The sensation is most thrilling. The steamer shoots forward and then appears to sink, but instead of rising, as one would expect, it rushes forward and appears to sink deeper in the foaming water, and so this continues until the river broadens and becomes smooth. Passing the wooded shores of Nun’s Island, we soon saw the famous Victoria Jubilee bridge.—a magnificent structure built to replace the old Tu- bular bridge, which was designed by the celebrated English engineer, Robert Stephenson, and was ac- knowledged to be one of the greatest feats of en- gineering skill in the world. The new bridge was designed by Mr. Hobson, of the Grand Trunk rail- wav. and ranks among the foremost of similar structures of the present time. Sweeping beneath this bridge, we came into full view of Montreal, at six o’clock, after an interesting and exciting day. Upon landing, we went to the hotel, where we were soon comfortably established, and after a night’s refreshing sleep were ready for new scenes. In Montreal the old world mingles with the new. and the stride of progress only makes the con- trast more evident. Of course all are familiar with its history, how the soldier and explorer were fol- lowed by the trader whose ships were stopped bv the rapids, how the small trading-post grew rapidly and has now become one of the great cities of America. Montreal, more than Brooklyn, deserves the title of the city of churches” as there arc churches of all sizes and creeds, from the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral, to small churches in the poorer parts of the city. We went to see the famous Notre Dame Cathedral facing Place d’Amies square. This noted church is one of the principal landmarks of Mon- treal. Its towers are 227 feet high; it is 225 feet long, and has a seating capacity of 15,000. Enter- ing the church one is amazed at the size of the in- terior. Walking down the broad aisle we came to the altar, which is very beautiful. The organ is said to be the finest in America, and cost over $50,000. The architect of this famous building was an Irish- man named O’Donnell, who is buried in one of the vaults of the church. Passing on to the Chapel of the Sacred Heart adjoining, we found a beautiful specimen of ecclesiastical architecture. In the west tower is the great bell. Lc Gros Bourdon, weighing 24,780 pounds, one of the five largest bells in the world. 'Pen other bells arc located in the opposite tower, and eighteen men are required to ring them. After stopping at two or three smaller churches, we began the ascent of Mt. Royal. It was a fine drive up the spiral roadway, with glimpses of the bewildering panorama below, but it was not until we reached the summit that the full glory of the view burst upon us. There was the broad St. Law- rence stretching before us, while far to the right a glimpse of the Lachine Rapids could be obtained. Then came the famous Victoria bridge, spanning the river. Farther down and directly opposite Montreal is St. Helen’s island, a fortified military post and public park, named by Champlain after liis wife. Beneath us lay the city with the cathe- dral towers looming above the rest. It was plain to see that the city was slowly but surely creeping to- ward the hillside. Descending, we took the road on the opposite side of the mountain and saw the Protestant and Catholic cemetery, the silent city of the dead. Finally, we came to the street and passed through the residential parts of the citv. the driver kindly pointing out the principal residences. We arrived at the hotel, which is in Dominion square, soon after noon. THE HARVEY AFFAIR. By I. G., E., '05. IM. can’t you work a little faster? I be- lieve one of those cows in that field could pitch hay twice as fast as you do.” Farmer Harvey did not stop his work while he was talking.— time was too precious to be wasted in that manner. ‘ I’m sure, father, that I am working as fast as it is possible for mv fork to reach the cart and back again.” answered his son in a meek, drawling tone. It was true, for Jim was pitching two forks to his father’s one. but it was farmer Harvey’s custom, never to be satisfied with his son’s work. Don’t tell me that. sir. I won’t have you talking back to me,” impatiently shouted his father, pound- ing the ground with his pitchfork, as a means of emphasis. But, father. I can’t work any-----” Will you keep still and get to work, or I’ll show you who’s boss around here.” Anyway, father.” persisted Jim.—but before he could get any further his father picked up a large SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 129 stick from the ground, and, advancing toward Jim, cried, If you say another word, Jim, I'll thrash ye.” There was something in his father’s tone that told Jim that he was regarded as little more than a child by him, and that thought, to a boy of eighteen, whose father has just promised him a sound thrashing, is enough to try his temper to its ut- most. You shan’t thrash me if I can help it; we'll sepa- rate first, angrily asserted Jim, his face flushed and his lip quivering. It was the first time he had ever dared oppose lus father. Well, I guess you had better go, then,” retorted his father, meaningly brandishing the stick. Jim dropped his pitchfork and started from the field. His was another case of bad temper. He walked along, his hands in his pockets, his head bent well forward, and wrapt in thought. He knew not where he was going, and cared much less. Why his father should treat him so. he could not under- stand. It seemed as though every act of his, bad or good, brought down his father’s wrath upon him. Whether he was agreeable or not. none of his ad- vances, toward their common happiness, were met by his father. He slouched along, until, looking up. he found himself in front of the village post-office. Deacon Smith, the postmaster, was in the doorway. Wal. I swan, what's got hold of you. Jim. a-visiting us at this time 0' day? IIow is it you’re not working?” good-naturedly asked the old man. Can’t I take a day off, if 1 want to? Jim snapped out angrily, and walked on. He left ihe village and entered the woods that surrounded it. It seemed odd. he had to admit, that he should be in the village at that time, for as he looked back on the twelve long years that lie had been without his mother, he could not remem- ber once having been there in the daytime since he was six years old. As he thought, his anger softened. He remem- bered the day his mother died, how sorrowful every one was at that time and how he himself cried, al- though at the time he could not tell why. He bit- terly reflected that he could tell why now. for in losing his mother, he had lost the best friend he had ever had. and lie had never felt that fact as keenly as he felt it now. He thought of how harsh his father had been since his mother's death, and what a strict and unfair master he had gradually grown to be. But then it suddenly dawned upon him that perhaps he was doing his best, and that he was not wholly to blame for their many differences. Tie recollected the stories of the life his father had led as a boy: how hard he had worked for his own father, who considered a farmer’s son’s duty was to work every moment that he was not eating or sleep- ing, and that the least attention given to these last two occupations, the better. Jim’s temper was fast giving away to reason. As he realized that his father was doing his best to teach him the way of the world, and not trying to overburden him with work, he saw the foolishness of his act and deeply regretted that he had been so hasty But.” he wisely thought. I can’t go back now, until father’s temper has cooled. 1 guess I’ll get those fishing poles of his, in the bushes, and fish from off the top of the bridge.” As he neared the bushes, on the border of the lake, where the fish poles were concealed, he met his father’s next neighbor, Farmer Watkins. Why, Jim, what are you doing away from vour work at this time of day?” asked the inquisitive man. On an errand. answered Jim, shortly. Jim had no desire that the news of his having left home should get abroad, and bidding Farmer Watkins good-morning, lie walked along, got his pole and started for the bridge. In the meantime. Farmer Harvey’s temper had abated, and he, like Jim. had done some deep think- ing. His mind had gone back to his wife’s death, when she had solemnly charged him with the care of their only child, and he had promised to care faithfully for him, as a kind father should. Had he kept that promise? But the boy did not do his part, and mind him. he argued in his own defense, and yet had he not been too severe, and had Jim not done his best? “I’ll go after the boy and bring him back. he muttered to himself, and picking up his coat, he hastened in the direction of the village, which he had seen Jim take. He went direct to the post-office, the idler’s re- sort. where he hoped lie might find Jim. Seen Jim go by, deacon?” he asked of the postmaster. Yes. saw him go off toward the woods. Any- thing the trouble up to your place?” “ 'o,” answered Jim’s father, just taking a va- cation. I've found out that it don’t do any hurt once in a while,” and he left the store. Farmer Harvey thought that Jim was planning to sleep in the woods for the night, and he felt ashamed of himself to think that a son of his should have to find a resting place in the dark, damp woods. As he left the village he met neighbor Watkins. You and Jim taking a rest, neighbor?” inquired Watkins. I farvey ignored his friend’s question, but stopped long enough to ask. Did you see Jim? Yes. down bv the lake.” Farmer Harvey gave a start, and as lie hurried on he was seized with fear. Fool that T was to treat the poor boy so.” he moaned as lie ran along. He grimly determined that he would find his son. if lie had to hunt for him all night. As he ran along, almost frenzied with grief, he kept calling. “Jim. Jim. my boy.” Jim was sitting on the bridge, his feet dangling over the edge, and whistling the merriest of tunes, when he was startled by a voice calling, Jim. Jim.” He jumped to his feet and looking around, saw his father running toward him. As he came nearer. Jim noticed a wild, insane look in his eyes, and then one of intense relief. The next moment he was in his father's arms, and as he heard the fervent, Thank God!” that escaped his lips. Jim was as- sured that life had begun anew for his father and him. i30 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ADVENTURES OF PERKINS FAMILY. Part L By L. W.

I mean—wouldn't it be fine if the snake was in the house now.” Now, Tom,” said his sister, who was his twin, “supposin’ some one got bit. You’d be sorry then.” Well, if you wasn’t such a 'fraidcat. and a sissy, you’d know how to take care of yourself and not get bit.” “1 ain't a 'fraidca--” Why.

Miss Mehitable Patience Mathews, the gover- ness. was a maiden lady. to describe such a deli- cate matter in her own words. She was of a ner- vous and timid temperament, and cpiite imagina- tive. She went down stairs a few minutes after the hasty departure of the twins, and found them in the library, awaiting the half-hour morning talk. This morning her talk was on reptiles. She chose that subject because she thought that it would make them more careful it they should happen to encounter the cobra. When she had finished, the children ran out to play. Say, Edic,” called Tom, that snake escaped right near our house. Don’t you remember that the circus had their tent in Griggs’s lot. and that is right opposite our house, you know.” 1 wish we could find it. said Edith. At dinner.

I have a premoni- tion that that reptile is near me. The idea has completely unnerved me. It would be just her luck to meet it. just because she doesn't want to. muttered Tom to Edith.

This kitchen was arranged very pe- culiarly in relation to the other rooms, for the only way to get from the dining room to the kitchen was through the sitting room. I’ve found them.” she cried, and she started for the dining room. Suddenly the Perkinses were aroused by a crash and a prolonged screech, and Miss Mathews came running into the room, as pale as a ghost. “I al- most stepped on it. she screamed. Take it away —oh. take it away.” Where is it?” said Tom. It went in the sideboard,” she managed to gasp, and then she fainted.

Here's trouble, said Mr. Perkins. ‘‘Every- one be careful, and don't leave the room until I get back, and he dashed up stairs for his revolver. When he re- turned. he found all the family were armed, and Miss Mathews almost in hysterics. His wife had an umbrella. Tom had a poker. Edith had a bread knife, and the cook had a large and corpulent roll- ing pin. Then Mr. Perkins led the way to the sit- ting room and the sideboard. He and Tom cau- tiously turned it around, exposing the bare boards at the back, and ripped one of them off. Then Miss Mathews cautiously peeked in. and shrieked out, “There it is in the corner.” Mr. Perkins immediately fired six times at the spot where she had pointed, and Tom thrust the poker in and probed around. Mary then took her rolling pin and brought it down with a crash that would have killed a boa constrictor, to say nothing of a small-sized cobra. It came down with such force that it knocked the bottom out of the side- board. and out through the aperture sprang a- mouse. Miss Mathews screamed and almost fainted, but expressed her emotion in one shriek. “There it is—oh. take it away—oh—oh—oh ! And hard-hearted Mr. Perkins turned on his heel and walked away, actually laughing, while Mary went back to the kitchen, muttering something about “old maids and Tom and Edith chased the mouse. THE ASTRONOMER OF ACADIE By C. Sherwood Ricker, L., '04. NOON stillness hovered over all the town. Grand Pre was motionless. Even the birds in the trees ceased their song to heighten the quiet. On the hill, back of the town, rose the house of the astronomer of Acadie. He was a man both liked and feared by the simple country folk. To be frank, he was a selfish egotist, desirous of living alone with his thoughts, and so, for the most part, he did. The Abbe was his most frequent visitor, and these visits could be remem- bered bv the seasons. The country folk liked him because he gave freely of his money, the full ex- tent of which was mere conjecture. They feared him because lie chose the night as his time for work, when Indian and robber sought plunder. All vaguely knew that the Abbe had quite an influ- ence over this morose man. Any one but the Abbe he could monstrously affect with his irreligious theories and dogmas. He was absorbed in astronomy,—all admitted that, -and as he grew older, astrology was impercept- ibly creeping in. So. at the time our tale begins, we find astrology gaining an ascendancy in the old man s mind—to him greatly elevating his astron- omy—in reality, undermining the foundations of a well-built mathematical knowledge. The astronomer had a beautiful daughter, the fame of whose loveliness had reached far beyond Grand Pre. The fair hair and brown eyes of Madeline had overturned the heart of every knave far and near. “Thou shalt never marry any youth about this town,” was the constant remonstrance of her father. lint have I asked thee?” chidingly answered the fair maiden. No. 'tis true,” he replied, but I sec trouble in the stars.” “Then thou must seek it. for do you not say ‘ad astra per aspera’ often to me, dear father?’ S'death! but tut. tut! my child. Thou vexest me with thy foolish comparisons.” exclaimed the astronomer. So. with a tingle of delight at having pricked her father with one of his own weapons, she darted off toward the neighboring wood in the hot silence of noon. Through the long afternoon she wandered through the forest, picking the chcckcrbcrry here and there, and crushing the flowers under her dainty moccasincd feet. Here also, often wandered the protege of the de- vout Abbe to trap for game or sometimes to assure himself that no savage lurked nearby; for ever since he had been able to understand the full import of that word “savage.” he had feared that 132 SOM ERVI LLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR they would make their appearance unknown to Grand Prc; and the longer the time went on, the more he thought a daily tour of the woods a wise precaution. In the forest near Grand Pre, Louis sat this af- ternoon. He had been scouring the woods since early morning, and had found nothing of particular interest. As the sun just dipped itself among the tall pines, Madeline discovered him. Ah, fair flower, thou wandcrest far from the town, and it lacks but an hour to sunset; camst thou to find me? asked I-ouis. Indeed not, and I doubt whether I have been fortunate in running across you, even though it is so near darkness, answered Madeline. Very well, pretty pouter. I go my way. Tin- peace shall not be disturbed. I have a pair of traps in the Gaspereaux. which 1 must attend to. I forgot thou feared not the Indian or wolf, and dis- liked man's company. Should I hear a feminine voice. he went on, mercilessly, even though it resembled a scream, believe me, 1 shall not be at- tracted. for I shall know it is thy voice lifted to the birds in song. He had awakened cruel pictures in her mind, and he laughed inwardly at her change of counte- nance. Thou merciless savage, 1 shall accompany you, and learn the place where thv traps lie concealed. What a biting tongue thou hast! Twould better become a woman. To be sure. I shall be pleased with thy com- pany, one so fearless as thou; 'twill instill manly courage and fortitude should we chance cross dan- ger.” And together the two trod to the Gaspereaux. as darkness came on. talking banteringly and idly on this and that. As Madeline left him at her home on the crest of the hill, she said. Father would see the Abbe to-night should he come; the heavens promise clearness, so he told me this noon, and thou—canst perhaps come, too.” I shall tell mon perc. and, believe me, perhaps I may accompany him. He looked into her deep brown eyes as he said this, and allowed a smile to slip across his face. Iler little foot patted indignantly at the obvious repetition of perhaps.” and when he finished, with- out answering, she rushed back to her house, a tinge of red on either check. Ife watched her till the door closed. Ah.” he said, half aloud, as he descended the hill, she is a perfect honeysuckle, brimming over with reckless sweetness, and to think of the curse of her father’s word that she should marry no youth hereabouts! Xo one has tested the old astronomer’s statutes. All have been frightened to silence, but, by the bones of Jacob, T won’t be! To love a pretty creat- ure like that, and then feel she's caged away from all suitors by an old man’s decree!” An evening breeze, light and cool, seemed to scatter the moonbeams over the surrounding coun- try as the Abbe and Louis climbed the hill toward the astronomer’s. God indeed hovers near us this beautiful night. and nights arc beautiful, even as the astronomer says, —God grant peace to his soul ’ devoutly said the Abbe. Yes, father, 'tis a beautiful night; hear the owl, and see the sparkle on the waters of the Gaspereaux through the pines. 'Tis indeed beautiful. Father,” he continued, turning abruptly, 1 would marry Madeline; for I truly love her.” Yes,” absently answered the Abbe, she would be a good companion for thee through life, and a faithful one to watch over thy soul. Canst thou see any return for thy love?” Surely, father, she dislikes me not,” modestly answered the youth, but further I dare not say. By this time they had reached the home of the astronomer and were admitted. How fare you, Monsieur? asked the Abbe, as he seated himself on a bench in a small, square room, flanked by volumes on the walls in Latin and French, mostly bearing on astronomy. The same, the very same,—the neuralgia holds me hard, and now it is the heart; I am a fast weak- ening man. Abbe, fast weakening; 1 grow more de- crepit every day, yet thy religion affords me little comfort. 'Astra regunt homines,’ as the saving goes. Ah. yes, but do thy stars afford thee comfort?” In them I see the workings of destiny upon its grandest stage; we arc mere puppets when we compare the workings of the heavens to those of man. But comfort, ah!” So for a long time went on the discussions of the two men. the religious and the learned. Madeline and Louis had wandered forth into the evening stillness, wrapped, as it were, in its veil of silver light. Indeed, this is beautiful. said Madeline. Louis, dost thou realize the glory of this night?” Aye. dear Madeline, the silence holds me; to speak almost seems to break the spell. Let's sit beneath that tall pine's shade.” After a long si- lence he said, Madeline, canst thou know my love, the love that refuses to stay back this night: canst thou love me as I have so long worshipped thee?” Yes, she simply answered, and silence again reigned. At length he said, The wind grows chilly. Thou must not take cold. Let us go.” They faced about, only to come upon the Abbe and the astronomer, who. in the midst of their heated discussion, had also retreated for inspiration to the woods. Louis spoke first. “Monsieur, this night T have confessed my love to Madeline. May I take her as my wife?” It was quickly and nervously said, with a tremor in the lad’s voice. The maiden stood radiantly mute. The old astronomer’s face worked perceptibly. He sought to speak, but could not. Then be looked at Madeline, and in her face saw such radi- ance as he had never seen there before. Suddenly a calm came over the features of the old man. I see thy God, good Abbe, for I sec love. ’Tis so. 'tis so.” Fie moved his lips as if to say more, his form tottered, and the old astronomer of Aca- die fell motionless upon the soft, green moss. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR � 33 AN ESCAPADE. By Gladys A. Budgell, E., '03. TIEN we were first entered as students in Madame S.'s private school for girls, we were in some unaccountable manner drawn together. Why, it would be impossible to tell, unless it might be for the same reason that in electricity opjxjsitc poles attract each other. Suffice it to say we formed a club after the man- ner of girls. Dot, Lou, Muriel and I. Lou and I roomed together, while Muriel and Dot had a room opposite ours. One day during my Junior course I rushed upstairs and into Dot’s room, gasping as well as I could: Dot, what do you think, the A. O. L.'s are going to give a party to-morrow night.” Well, we'll be invited don’t you think.” came in drawled tones from the corner. ‘Invited!’ it don’t look like it. does it? Dot. go and find Muriel and come over to my room. Later, we gathered together and a few moments later an indignation meeting was in full progress. No invitation after our last party,” said Lou. It’s a mean shame!” exclaimed Dot. Shame! I should think so. I vociferated. “One thing is certain, they'll never get another invitation from us.” said Lou. with a stamp of her foot. Then we plotted for revenge: for revenge we would have. Our revenge was to be a midnight foraging party; we had often talked with those girls about one. Great would be their grief and anger it we had one without them. Here. then, was our revenge. That evening at tea table winks and nods flourished, and “Those girls.” as we affectionately called them, were treated with quiet disdain. By the next afternoon our plans were fullv matured. It was twilight of the next day. All was bustle and confusion below, while from the rooms adjoin- ing ours came merry laughter and other sounds, which told wonders. At last we heard the girls go down stairs. At intervals we heard the ap- proach of the guests in carriages, greetings, merry laughter. Imagine our feelings, ye who can! At last we heard the departure of the carriages and then the girls came upstairs. Oh. how we felt to- ward those girls! It was a rule at Madame S.'s that all the light should be out at 10.30. At this time we heard her heavy tread along the hall, and when she was well out of wav I stepped to my door and whispered:— Dot!”' Yes. I’m a-coming.” Amidst smothered laughter Dot came in with Muriel, who said sleepily. Oh. why didn’t you let me stay in bed?” Muriel.” we said, in horror-struck tones. “A. O. L” At this magic word she became wide-awake and worked with as much energy as the rest. And non- preparations began in earnest. I was delegated to go in search of food, and bring what 1 could find upstairs. Accordingly, 1 started, not, however, without some mis- givings. As 1 was going downstairs. Oh, horrors! I saw a long black shadow, my teeth chattered and visions of burglars, midnight inaurauders, flashed through my brain, but remembering A. O. L. I crept si- lently and quickly past, expecting every moment to be grasped and spirited away. Safely past. 1 stepped with renewed courage through the rooms and safely reached the dining- room. From thence to the kitchen and at last the pantry. The huge elms outside cast shadows upon the floor and swayed and moved in a manner which gave me the shivers. Then, picking up what I could find and placing it in my empty waste basket, I started back. Slowly, for in my other hand 1 carried a most precious pat cel. ice cream.

A Talc of Woe. By Herbert A. Cole, L., ’04. The maiden sat in a rocking-chair Near the looking-glass arranging her hair, When suddenly from down the street, Came a chug-chug, the auto's rhythmic beat. “Oh, my! there’s Charlie coming here, And I had forgotten about the dear. What shall I do? I am not dressed And by the moments am sorely pressed. “I have it! James!” The butler hies, “When Mr. Faunce to the front door flics, Tell him Miss Crane is ill to-day, And will not ride in his motor-shay.” The deed is done, and down the street She heard the auto’s retreating beat. Then all was silent, she felt not well. For reason, not even she could tell. Then once again the quiet air Was rent by the mobile’s deafening blare, And in merry mood the machine rushed by, But not too quick to catch her eye. Seated therein was young Miss Swclle Who was known as The Street’s most promising belle. And guiding the craft with the rhythmic beat Was Charlie ensconced on the self-same seat. F'astcr and farther away they flew And in Miss Crane’s eyes was gathering dew, Alas!” she exclaimed, “My chances are flown Because of a falsehood, ‘Not being at home.’ ” Years pass and the auto still goes by the door. Miss Crane still glances, thinks sadly of yore When by a gross word of fearful deceit She made Miss Belle. Mrs., and the pet of The Street. “A Complicated Genealogy.” I married a widow who had a grown-up step- daughter. My father visited my house .very often, fell in love with my step-daughter and after a while married her. So my father became my son-in-law, and my step-daughter my mother, because she was my father’s wife. Sometime after, a son was born to my wife: he was my father’s brother-in-law and my uncle, for he was the brother of my step-daugh- ter. Mv father’s wife (my step-daughter) also bore a son: he was. of course, my brother, and in the meantime my grandchild, for he was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grandmother, be- cause she was my mother’s mother, I was my wife’s husband and grandchild at the same time: and, as the husband of a person’s grandmother is his grandfather. I was my own grandfather. The Dancing Girl. By Harold S. Libby, L., '04.

A more beautiful day could hardly he asked for. Even Nature herself seemed to be in harmony with the sentiments of the season. Now that it is over, let us not forget the thoughts it brings us. but strive ever toward a better life. V! k k k CEVENTY years ago the Connecticut Yankee took his corn, a hundred pounds at a time, to the grist mill to be ground. As be went on horse- back. the adjustment of the sack of corn was the principal technicality in the ease. His method was to hang the load on one side and counter-balance it with a rock on the other. This seems ridiculous, when lie might have divided the corn instead. Hut he did not do so. because nobody else did. It was the custom to do it otherwise, and nobody gave the matter any consideration. There exists in this vicinity a situation not really ridiculous, but much more troublesome to the ‘50 SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR horse. Brakes on wagons arc almost a minus quantity. It seems inexplicable that such a condi- tion should exist in one of the most hilly places in the country. Any day a horse may be seen taking a heavy wagon down a hill and walking on his front feet most of the time. Yc cannot believe that this is to save the wear on the tires, as the economy would be so trifling com- pared to the misery the horse is required to endure. It is simply custom. Few people think of brakes except for the heaviest wagons. This is about the only place where such a mistaken view is held: so it must be that nobody ever thought alxnit it. . p p 'I' 11F financial success of the oratorio is assured. The sale of tickets was almost phenomenal. At the end of the first day. little could be obtained but dollar scats. We- wish to state definitely that there arc tickets still to be sold. They can be ob- tained from almost any student in the English School. This is most gratifying. Such enthusi- astic support has stimulated the hopes of all that the oratorio will be a grand afifair. As Mr. Hadley says, however, it now becomes the duty of the singers to give the audience their money's worth. Little time remains, but the hard work that is being put into the singing has put an end to all doubts as to what the critics will have to say. K r. k k 11F baseball concert given last week was most successful. A few unavoidable accidents will be cheerfully overlooked bv all who were present, for the entertainment as a whole was very interest- ing. And it was so well patronized that a few days before the event seats were selling at considerably above par among those who had been shrewd enough to get more than they needed. We con- gratulate the management, and all those who took part, upon the success of the event. P P, P J JR. POOR, of the English School faculty, is ar- ranging for his fifth annual excursion to Washington, D. C. The expense is remarkably reasonable, and the time allowed is two days longer than similar excursions include when run by the railroads. The tour includes an ocean trip to Nor- folk. Va.. a short stop at Baltimore, four days in Washington, when all the buildings and points of interest will be systematically visited, and a return by way of Philadelphia. New York, and the Fall River line. The party will start May 2, returning May 10. Further information, circulars, etc., can be obtained by addressing H. W. Poor, at the English School. TESTS, poets, story-writers, and the staff arc all working hard on the June Radiator. We are relying upon the help of all our constituents to make that issue a very good one. There will be pictures of all the class editors, the Senior class presidents, poems illustrated in colors, an illus- trated account of the concert, and many others, be- sides the usual cuts of the souvenir number. � p 'J'llE May Radiator will appear just four weeks from this date, that is to say. May 14. Conse- quently, class notes, stories, club notes, etc., should be presented before the May vacation. Resolu- tions and other necessarily delayed material can be taken up to the sixth of May. This is to make it possible to get the June issue off our hands at an earlier date than usual. p . p a . account of the batting trophy.offered by the Oajaca Club, will be found on another page. This beautiful cup. which was presented at the con- cert. ought to stimulate the efforts of the baseball boys to gain high batting averages, and we are heartily in sympathy with the motive that prompted this gift. � . VERY fine exhibit of object and model draw- ing was sent off April 10 from the English School, in response to an invitation recently re- ceived to contribute such work to the annual exhi- bition of the Eastern Art Teachers' Association, which is held at the Johns Hopkins College. Balti- more. April 22 and 23. p p p |T is greatly to be hoped that Gentle Spring” may bring forth a few jxjets to contribute to the columns of the Radiator. Never in the his- tory of the paper has there been such a dearth of this especial form of talent. p p p p 'J'llE accounts of John C. Ilaartz, L., ’01, man- ager of the Radiator in 1900-’01, have been audited by the auditors, F. II. Baldwin and H. L. Niles, and found satisfactory. p p p p this date we have but one available cover for the May number. We advertise it, as it is our duty to give every opportunity for competition in the making of covers for the Radiator. p p. p p PICTURE of the hockey team is our frontis- piece this month. It is a pleasure to print it. as this year’s team did all that could be expected under the circumstances. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RAD ATOK 15 A TRIP TO JAMAICA. By P. S. Highley, E., '05. L ASHORE!” was sounded. My father joined the throng hurrying down the gang plank, leaving me somewhat alone on a steamer bound for Jamaica. On deck, we began to play “shuttle cock.” and were enjoying ourselves, when one young fellow abruptly excused himself and made for the companion way. We saw nothing more of him till our arrival at Jamaica. The conversation turned on sea sickness, and one said, I have never been seasick.” He had hardly finished, when the ship gave a lurch, and lie, too, disappeared below. I stayed up a little longer, and then felt as if I better imitate my companions. On the fourth morning I went on deck, and found we were passing through the Sea of Sara- thc day passed quietly, and I retired with eager ex - pectation of seeing Cuba in the morning. The day dawned bright beyond description, with the water a deep blue and the sky without a cloud. Cuba rose in view just ahead, and soon we were passing Cape Maysi. The cape is bounded by high clitTs. and stretches away eight hundred miles, everywhere covered with a dense tropical growth. We passed near the shore, and could sec the wreck of one of the Spanish cruisers, with some men working on her. I was looking at the clitTs. when I saw a purple color appear, changing to a red and blue. These shades extended over the land for some distance, producing a remarkably beautiful display. After witnessing the reflection of colors, we all anxiously wondered how soon Jamaica would ap- RIO COBRE. gossa. The sea is in reality in one of the eddies made by the Gulf Stream, and is covered with float- ing seaweed. The next morning we passed a small bark laden with logwood going North. Our vessel signaled to her to report 11s, and 1 watched them display all the flags and fire a gun by way of answer. We ap- proached Fortune Island, about a hundred and fifty miles north of Cuba. The island is much like Crooked Island, but covered with a denser growth, almost impassable. Cocoanut trees tower fifty or sixty feet in the air. the black trunk breaking out into a bright green at the top. Orange trees were in great profusion, loaded with green and yellow fruit, and I only wished I could have the pleasure of eating some, but I had to be patient. The rest of pear in view, and late that afternoon it was reported by the lookout. The mountains loomed up clothed in tropical verdure from the foot to the crest. The island is unsurpassed by any scenery in the world. It is of volcanic origin, and this gives a sharpness to the outlines of the mountains. We approached the island, and lights began to appear, casting their reflection across the water. Finally we passed Folly Point Light, and steamed through a narrow channel into the harbor of Port Antonio. At the wharf we were met by the customs officials. It being market day. we decided to view the town. The hotel keeper furnished us each with a mule, and we rode down into the main street. It was full of colored people, each with a tray on his head containing yams and fruit, which he had car- 152 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ried for many miles. We were soon inside the market. It is divided into stalls, where each article is sold. I went into one stall and purchased some oranges for sixpence a dozen. I told the keeper 1 should like some one to take us through the market. She called a colored boy, who took us to where some natives were trading. They swapped their fruit and yams for a little sugar and tea. Money is very scarce there, and they do almost all their business by bartering. The negro boy showed us many other interesting sights. After an hour or two. we left the market and called on the American consul. He invited us to lunch, and we all rode up to his house. The houses of the Europeans there arc built of wood, and are always surrounded by a beautiful dower garden. His was a particularly pretty one. and be- yond stretched a lawn, with tennis and croquet grounds. Right in front of the door is a flag pole sixty feet .high, with the Stars and Stripes stream- ing from the top. We sat on the veranda till lunch was served. The people there have most of their meals out of doors during the dry season. Upon the table were dishes of many different kinds of fish, including mullet and red snapper. We had yatnpi in place of potato, besides all the vegetables which we get in midsummer. We were going as far as Port Morant on the steamer, and from there were to drive over the mountains to Kingston. The ship rounded Folly Point, and we felt the swell of the Caribbean Sea. 'The scene was one of great beauty. The sun sink- ing below the horizon cast a reflection of gold across a blue expanse of water, slowly rolling back and forth. On one side the water stretched away to Cuba, while on the other rose the tropical foliage of the island, a deep green, dotted here and there with red and brown spots. We continued up the coast, gliding in and out of several small inlets, where a boat or two came out with a few bunches of bananas, till we sighted a light marking the en- trance of Port Morant harbor. The harbor was entirely in darkness, except where one light marked the wharf. A boat came alongside, and we were rowed ashore, where the coach was waiting to take us over the mountains. The town was in darkness as we passed through the main street and rattled over a bridge with a mountain stream hurrying underneath. The road circled round and round as we climbed up the mountain, and finally reached the top as the sun rose above the horizon. The sight was one long to be remembered. The road appeared cov- ered with a growth of palms, cocoanuts, and orange trees, with the sea stretching away in the back- ground the same deep blue, dotted here and there with a white sail. The sun. brighter than you ever see it here, cast a gleam of gold across the water, making the foliage stand out in a bright green. On either side rose the mountains several hundred feet, presenting some of the grandest mountain scenery in the world. We walked down an avenue of orange trees with the fruit hanging overhead ready for picking, pre- senting a very pretty picture. This led us to where they were picking the coffee berries. These are green when picked, the picking being all done by hand. We returned to the coach that was start- ing. and continued on our way down to Kingston. The road began to grow more beautiful as we descended it. and many new kinds of tropical plants appeared, presenting almost every color of the rainbow. We finally came to the outskirts of the city, and passed the country residence of our consul-general, marked by the old familiar flag. Soon we were all startled by a whizzing noise, and a tram car passed us in a cloud of dust, going at full speed. The road led us right into the city, and we were soon comfortably lodged in the hotel. COOLIES. The hotel stands in a beautiful garden of tropical flowers, the most beautiful. I think, that I had seen. The veranda extends entirely around it. On one side appears the harbor full of craft flying flags of almost every nation, and making quite a busy scene. On the other side is the main street of the city, rather narrow, with the car track laid out in the middle much like our own. The stores are modern, and there arc several large department stores where almost anything can be bought. The next morning we took the train for Port Antonio. The railroad and cars arc somewhat like ours, there being first, second, and third class, while we have only the first class. This railroad has been cut through the mountains at great expense, neces- sitating tunnelling in many places. In traveling, we seemed to be on the edge of a precipice, where we could look down a hundred feet or more into a rushing river. Then again we passed through flourishing plantations, then plunged into a dense forest of tropical trees, which were so covered with parasites as to make them impenetrable.

To one little girl it was the most beautiful, remarkable of sights. A silver line on the border of the horizon seemed almost to quiver with a living pulse; gradually its edges gave way to a green, treach- erous and deep like the ocean, which in its turn changed to soft yellows, and at last the living fire! A thin, wiry little atom, with a mop of fine golden hair and a pair of glistening, inquiring, brown eves—such was Touzlc. Dropped into the mining camp one night, it was scarcely known how. she had been carefully passed around and examined bv all the rough boys. to whom a baby seemed strange thing. Finally a rather kind-hearted old fellow. Snakcfoot Bill.” offered to take her to his shanty, where she could at least have enough to eat. There was not a woman in the camp, and the men could see no use for little gels. but they were not unkind to her. She was always helping, always working, and the men never realized what she was to them until it was too late. It was neglect that was wearing her life away. Snakefoot Bill was away a good deal down in the valley working on a claim : so our little girl had rather a lonely time of it. From her baby- hood up she had heard nothing but expressions of hatred toward the diggers of Kohern’s Tract down in Dead Eye Valley, and she had come t re- gard them in the light of devils, as she had heard them called, though she knew not what devils were. That they were the deadly enemies of Keechcr's Gulch she did understand, and she hated them with all her fiery little heart. Touzlc's only comfort when Bill was away was the long, lonely tramps which she took. Touzlc had her own little belt and toy pistol, so's to be like the boys. but little did she or they ever dream that that pistol would be an important factor in their lives. The afternoon sun lay softly over the country, but black clouds edged the dainty blue of the vault al)ove. Touzlc was happy. The birds sang for her and her alone: a flock of strange white birds often seen by her flew over her head.—they seemed to be her guardian angels. So on she wandered till the bushes gave place to young trees, and before she knew it she was in the forest, deep. dark, and heavy, but noiseless with that hush which precedes a severe storm. 'Touzlc would have turned back then, but she saw an old tumble-down shanty, and started to investigate. However, as she approached, she heard voices, and she stopped short to listen. He’s a-workin’ down the valley ter-day! Yer bet he is. an' now's the time ter strike. He’s the leader of all them, an’ we ll show 'em Kohcrn's Tract ain't no cinch! Don't stand here talkin' and lazin' round, but git to yer knives, men. an' now in fer it! There was a quick movement, but no sound as I ouzle sped back to the open. She could defend Bill alone, and she looked trustingly at her little pistol. Could she reach Bill in time to save him? She was near, but her voice was lost, and she could not call. Then suddenly she heard footsteps: one of the pursuers was at hand! Like some fairy with thistle-down head, she ran to the edge of the cliff just as the rain began to pour. and. without a mo- ment’s hesitation, she threw herself down on tin- dark body skulking below, and my. how sin- fought ! She dug: she scratched: she pounded: she bit; she kicked: she screamed: she tore: and at length whipped out her pistol, which seemed only too real to the terrified man. who thought she was indeed some witch of the forest. The man shook her off and ran back. She stood there like a little fury. But the commander of the band was afraid of no child. Cursing the man. he ran forward. “You little-----. you. he snarled, and with all his might hurled her against the cliff, and she fell motionless. Ah. little girl, you had done your work well. Your screams of rage and triumph had done what your little strength could not do. Snakcfoot Bill, with all the men who had been assisting him. came running up. and the men from Kohcrn’s Tract fled, with plenteous oaths. 'They had come to murder, not to fight. The storm howled and raged, beat against the old roof of Bill’s shanty: shrieked down its poor pre- tense for a chimney: swept sticks and stones against its wretched sides. Inside all was quiet. They had lain her on the old bunk : rough men lay beside that little life to watch it go out. Touzlc’s golden hair was spread in picturesque confusion all over the pillow, and her shining, earnest eyes were restless. hellers. said a sweet, clear voice. I kin use a pistil, cavn’t I? Bill sobbed outright. Little gel. little gel. he said, ye saved my life, an' now I cavn't thank ye. I cayn't help ye. Ye’ve got ter pay for it with yer own. Oh. God. make it easy. Never mind. Bill, never mind---- the little voice grew weak, but the brown eyes were at peace. O. Bill! See the white birds callin’ me.—my white birds! I mus’ go. Good-by. The little hotly straightened and lay still, and the storm outside as suddenly ceased. 154 SOM KR VI I.IJC HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR THE INSPIRED BILLY MINK. By William Lyman Phillips, L., '04. A | Ni FRIFXI), no matter what the | oets tell you. neither hitch your wagon to a star, nor pin your hopes upon a dream. As for the first, you arc almost certain to draw a fixed star, useless for trac- tion. and as for the second, why. I myself once reared some extensive architecture upon a founda- tion of dreams, which fell, notwithstanding that for this sort of tiling it had an unusually firm underpin- ning. In justice to the dream, it must be said that my castles fell not with a metaphorical crash and a cloud of dust, but by an imperceptible decaying process. Perhaps, comparatively speaking, that is. allowing for the difference betwixt building mate- rials. they lasted as long as have some more pal- pable structures. Hut the fact remains that the dream is far too ethereal for worldly purposes. The particulars of my experience are here related. 1 had already known Hilly Mink for three of the seventeen glad years lie had worried his mother. An ordinary boy was Billy, much like hundreds of others who are buoyed up during those discourag- ing years between ten and twenty by glimpses of possible presidents’ chairs. Hilly, with his long, unbarbered, yellow hair, his restless, blue eyes, his wide mouth, set in a cheerful, bucolic smile, had often accompanied me on fishing and gunning ex- peditions in the vicinity of his Maine home. We were great friends, he initiating me into the mys- teries of woodcraft, and I dazing his rustic mind with tales of the great cities. To sum up a descrip- tion. and furnish the data necessary for proceeding, the boy was the very essence of good humor, and ever since I had known him had worn a smile of immense latitude, depth, and general optimistic tone. Then a change. One fall when I ran up to get a few days’ vacation, I went hunting with another Billy Mink. Stilled the roving eye; gone the opti- mistic smile. When we returned to the hotel, I remarked as I opened the pouch and took out two quail, “Not very good for a starter. Hilly.” He took a long breath, and in a moment said:— Sir. do you ever dream tunes?” Surely a strange question, and not bearing at all upon my observation. I did once, Hilly,” I replied. “That was years ago, when ‘After tiic Hall' came out. Investiga- tion has proved that dreaming is caused by light sleep: I stood it for three nights, and then took some sleeping powders.” Then, going back to mv former subject: This one is a fine bird, though.” I do.” he persisted. ’You’ll outgrow ’em,” I returned carelessly. He appeared offended at my reply, for he went away, only to return again that evening as if there was something on his mind for which he needed sympathy. We sat out in the cool autumn night for some time saying nothing. Ordinarily he would have been the most talkative of companions. Finally I spoke. You were speaking of dreaming tunes. Can von remember them when you awake?” The possibility of something interesting had occurred to me. Yes, sir,” he answered quickly. . “Can you whistle them?” As earnestly as I have seen a great virtuoso play before an immense audience. Hilly Mink began to whistle. It was a tone of low, flute-like quality, as expressive as a stringed instrument. It resembled the music of none of the Old World nationalities; it was neither German, nor Hungarian, nor Italian. It was new. It was American! I gazed in awe upon Hilly Mink, spellbound by the melody and my brilliant idea about American music. I was al- ready flattering myself on that idea. That night I did not plan a gunning excursion for the morrow; I was thinking of Billy Mink. At the earliest convenience I took the fatal stepi “Billy,” I said, would you like to be a composer?” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR •55 He was evidently uninformed as to just what a composer was. but. upon enlightenment, cheerfully signified his readiness. Immediately I began such an eloquent portrayal of the highly favored state of a comjKXScr, that he was moved to an enthusiastic appreciation of his gift. After that we talked with Mrs. Mink for an hour, add then 1 wrote to Mr. Taubcrt. of Boston, an old friend of mine, and a thorough musician. The letter ran somewhat as follows:— “Dear T.: Have discovered a genius in the Maine woods. He dreams tunes and remembers them in the morning. With a musical education, why could he not record them? I am so sure he will be the American composer that 1 will back him. If you will take him. let me know. Taubcrt reluctantly acquiesced by return mail. All this was very precipitous, but my confidence was so high-proof and unalloyed by any doubts that 1 almost expected to make a Verdi in a year. So. when I went back to my home in New York state, I left Billy in Boston. Such words as Discovery is docile and willing to work. I believe he is all you said. Still dream- ing. caused my hopes to go up another point. In about two months a roll of manuscript came from Boston. A note written in a most jubilant hand explained that it was an air written by Mr. William Mink. It was the same theme he had whistled to me up in Maine. But along in April the encourag- ing tone began to disappear, and Mink stock went down a point. I began to wonder if. like some of those precocious grammar school pupils, who. when they reach high school, get hopelessly entangled in Latin syntax and Greek verbs. Billy was getting muddled in diatonic triads, inversions, minor keys, and modulation. Moreover. I could not help ask- ing mvself, Could a boy who no longer cared for partridge hunting rationally be expected to hunt for hidden fifths, a much less gamey thing, and to fol- low tip consecutive octaves with an equal ardor? To augment my suspicions. I obtained this clue: He enjoys the city. A country boy should not like the city. The boy who uses the city familiarly will acquire an absorbing passion for it. Knowing this, it seemed the part of a prudent man to look after my client. An occasion presented itself for visiting Boston, so 1 went up to see Taubert at his home in the Back Bay. About seven o’clock I arrived, Billy welcom- ing me with joyful manifestations. He hardly al- lowed me a word with Taubert before he had me out for a walk. He was looking well—too well ior a sup|K)sed genius. A tailor-made suit showed off an almost athletic build. 11 is shoes were eminently gentlemanly, and an Eton cap scarcely concealed the fact that his yellow hair was nicely trimmed and carefully combed. Moreover, his old. optimistic smile had returned, slightly refined, but essentially the same. Upon realizing these things, I became aware of a dull, indefinite pain in some indefinite part of my person. One of my air-castles must have been crumbling a little faster than usual. Yc walked uptown to a running fire of conver- sation. in which I was invited to take him to a pop” concert. At such a reasonable request, we walked over to Symphony Hall, where 1 purchased two tickets. It was a good investment, for it ar- rested my falling hopes. During the playing of the excellent orchestra, the thoughtful mien, charac- teristic of the autumn before, returned. By this circumstance my fears were so allayed that I neg- lected to speak to Taubert. who. at the same time, was disinclined to talk about his pupil. With affairs in this condition, I departed. For three months more neutral letters were de- livered. at which time Mink stock sank very low in- deed. At last a long, despairing message came from Taubcrt. It was half-apologetic for withhold- ing the truth so long: it set at naught the vision of a great American composer with me as his patron. Hilly had learned nothing for six months. He would do nothing but roam about the town all day He could be kept in. but could not be madeto learn. It was useless to try him longer. He cared no more for music than to hear it played, and all thought of the wild melodies of hill and forest had been driven from his head. Billy is back on the farm. I still go hunting with him. and he always observes the unwritten, unspoken law that he shall not whistle: it would be unendurable. If he dreams now. it is of his well- beloved Boston. Given a violin and retained in the country, he would have earned a local reputation as a fiddler, but William Mink, the musician, was killed bv the city. ADVENTURES OF PERKINS FAMILY. II. By Leonard W. BELIEVE that Alphonse will be here to-morrow,” remarked Mr. Perkins at breakfast. “He has had to leave college on account of his health.— according to his letter,—and is go- ing to spend a couple of days here. He says in his letter that he will be here on—“Tom, run upstairs in my room and get his letter, and then I can tell you just what he says. There, thank you, Tom. Now here is what he Ltbbey, E., '05. says: ‘I will be out on Tuesday. March :51st. and will return on Thursday.’ Now. Tom. I want you to take him around and show him the sights. He says that he will bring his shot gun with him. and you can take him around to Thompson’s woods, and maybe you can shoot a few squirrels or a rab- bit. Tom grunted out a reluctant Yup. and went on eating. Now. Tom.” his father con- tinued, “we all realize that Alphonse is a little—er —well, aware—er—of the—er—fact that he has va- 156 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR rious accomplishments, and 1 know that you do not li—well, anyway. I want you to treat him in a proper way. You must realize that he is a guest, and that he should be treated as one. Now just re- member that.” That afternoon Alphonse arrived, carrying a gun case in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He was followed by a very small boy carrying—or. rather, dragging—a very large dress suit case. When they arrived at the house. Alphonse gave the bov three cents. Tom. who was standing in the doorway, muttered. Now. don't get reckless and spend it all at once, little boy. They entered the house together, where they were greeted by Mrs. Perkins and Kdith, Tom's twin sister. Alphonse leaned down and attempted to kiss her. but she very demurely drew back a trifle and extended her hand. Alphonse Perkins was Tom's cousin, and was really a clever, handsome fellow, with many accom- plishments. but was inordinately proud. He was a fine dancer and singer, but was too anxious to let everybody know it. That evening, after supper. Alphonse mentioned shooting. “Didn't your father say that there was some small game in the vicinity. Tom? Sure.” replied Tom. over in the woods there is piles—I mean that there is plenty. I know how to shoot a little myself. said Al- phonse. I have won more than one medal by my shooting. Why. that -gun of mine will kill at fifty yards every time I aim it. 1 will show you some shooting to-morrow when we go out in the woods. Tom gave a snort of disgust at his cousin- vanity, but said nothing. Then his cousin went on to teil of the big number of birds he had shot at different times. Tom’s mother called him to go down town on an errand, and Alphone asked him to get a box of cartridges, number ( shot. As Tom went out the door, he began to snicker, and finally he burst into a roar of laughter. That’s too good to keep. he muttered, and he re- turned to the house and called out. Edie. Edie. come here a moment. Edith quickly came to the door and asked him what he wanted. He leaned over and whispered something in her ear. A surprised look came over her face, but this was quickly replaced by a smile which soon broadened into a laugh. Tom soon left her and started on his errand again. What time are you going to bed to-night. Tom? asked Alphonse. 'Pom looked across at his father and winked, and replied. After you, my dear Alphonse. Then they went to bed. Next morning Tom and Alphonse started for Thompson''s woods. Tom with a rifle and Alphonse with his never-failing gun. Just as they were en- tering the woods, a rabbit hopped by. and Alphonse raised up his gun and fired. The rabbit looked up in apparent perplexity, and then hopped up to Tom. who gave it some grass and a little clover. It is Hilly Brown’s pet Angora, you know.” “Yes.” an- swered his cousin. I saw that he was the minute ! fired, so I knocked my gun up and did not kill him. So I see. remarked Tom dryly. They entered the woods and proceeded to look for squirrels. They saw a few during the morning, and Tom nailed one with the rifle, while his consist got not even a bit of fur-as the result of his persist- ent firing. It is strange. he remarked, “I used to do good work with this gun. but it docs not shoot straight, or something. Tom said that he thought it was something. Tom got another squirrel about noon, and Alphonse's bag hung Ha- as a flounder. He finally got ashamed of himself, and said that they had better start home, as he would have to go home that afternoon. While they were walking home, they started up a rabbit. I p came Tom's gun with a bang, and the rabbit, instead of dropping dead, as a good rab- bit should, went off like a flash. It got frightened at a dog. however, and, wheeling about, came back again, where it was cleverly dropped by Tom. When they arrived home, they were greeted by Edith, who cried. Oh. mamma. Tom's got a rabbit and two squirrels, and A1 hasn't got nothin': I mean, has nothing. Why. Alphonse, said Mrs. Perkins, did yon have poor luck?” Yes. he answered. I had the worst luck imaginable. I could not hit a barn door. There was something the matter with tne. All that evening Alphonse sat still, not saying much, but sitting gloomily in one corner. There was no boasting from him that night. He was an ordinary boy. not a braggart. Mrs. Perkins re- marked to her husband that he had lost all his vain pride and was getting sensible. When he left the next dav. he was a changed bov. A few days later. Mr. Perkins was reading an ac- count of some of the April Fool jokes that had been played on various people, and had reformed them, when Tom interrupted him by saying. I know an April Fool joke that's worth two of those. What is it ? said his father, looking up qucstioningly. You remember when Alphonse went hunting and did not get anything? “Yes, my boy. I do. It was a very peculiar thing that he got nothing, for he really is a fine shot. I was talking with his father yesterday, and he says that Alphonse is a crack shot, having got several medals at shoots. He says. also, that lie thinks that Alphonse has turned over a new leaf, for lie seems to have given up boasting altogether. Well. dad. as I was say- ing. what day was it that Alphonse and I went hunting? Let me see. now.—why. it was the first of April. April Fool's day. He came here March 31. and went with you the next day. Well, pa, when 1 went for his cartridges that night. I bought blanks, filled with fiowder. and no shot. And all that time that lie was shooting, he was shooting without bullets!” And Mr. Perkins leaned back in his chair and roared.—ves. roared, with laughter. FINIS.

The class of '05 turned out in goodly numbers for the baseball team, but were quickly turned off in goodly numbers. Your troubles, if you so consider lessons, are most over. Soon we will be enjoying vacation. As vou examine vour report card: I'm un- lucky! Spring has come! Wiggins is taking ventilation (?) for a spring medicine. We are sorry to say that Richard Libby, one of the most popular young men in our class, has been obliged to leave school on account of his health. He is now in Xew Hampshire, but will soon leave for Mexico, where he will remain for at least two years. He will be glad to hear from any of his friends. Barker has been elected into the F. 13. F. Watch for his initiation. Miss Bacon's friends will be glad to know that she is fast recovering from her serious illness, al- though the day is yet far distant when she will re- join her classes. What do you think of two girls in the second year of high school having the mumps ? '06. Important spring notice: Spinnagc and Fresh- men are in the market. Coan, of Div.

LATIN NOTES. iCuKtlnucd from page 150.1 The first ladies’ night of the A. F. Fraternity was held April first at Flemming's hall. Notice.—The championship ping-pong games are held at recess on pleasant days. All should attend. Division four enjoyed a glass shower bath lately. No pains (panes) reported. '06. Miss Sherwood should be careful how she allows her crayon portraits to lie about, as the habit is dangerous. Graves and Renting comprise our ping-pong team, and they would like a game with the Seniors, who will please apply to Graves, manager, for a date. Miss Richardson is trying to throw some light on the subject of equations, by ‘'illuminating” certain letters when she solves them. A queston for Kelley: What is the difference be- tween swapping prisoners” and merely exchang- ing them?

Which did W--------want the most the other day. to close the window or to look out and sec what was happening outside? We are sorry to lose Osgood because he was such a good subject for notes. Teacher— What is Philippic as a noun?” R-------: “An adjective.” Arc the Juniors afraid of soiling their hands, or what ? Teacher—“Can you add anything to what’s not been said on the subject? The basket ball team has disbanded, after a very successful season, not having lost a game. The officers for 1903-’04 arc: Cuddy, captain; Bishop, manager. At a recent class meeting of the boys, the officers of the track team were elected as follows: Cuddy, captain: Burns, manager.

A large number of candidates responded, among them six of last year’s team. The squad has now been cut to the following men: Tift. Mulloney. Dickinson. Hafford, Goode, Hodgdon, Blair, Cuddy. Doughty, Hayes, Lakin, Nichols, Countway. and Cohen. Blair, a new man. is showing up finely. Although the team has a hard season before them, they expect confidently to repeat the success of the past two years. Practice is held daily at Broadway field, under the direction of Coach Cuddy, whose work last year was so successful. I he team is coming along rapidly, and Captain 'l ift expects to make a fine showing on April 20, when the team plays our old rival. R. M. T. S. Somerville High School was refused admission to the Interscholastic Rowing Association, except on the conditions that we come in as single schools, and not in the present combination. Cotter won a second prize, and not a third prize, at the Boston College Preparatory meet March 7, as stated in last month’s Radiator. Carleton P. Jones, a former well-known athlete, has entered Friends School, Providence. He will enter Brown next September. Lewis Keyes, manager of last fall’s football team, and a prominent track athlete, has left school. Now that the basket ball games arc over, let us attend the baseball games and cheer our team to victory. Exhibition game.— Somerville plays R. M. T S. on Patriots day, April 20, at Broadway field at 10 o’clock. Phi Delta, 44; Quindonian, 6. I he Phi Delta Fraternity demonstrated their su- periority in basket ball over the Quindonian Club March 20 by defeating them, 44-6. Fine team work gave the Phi Deltas many chances to score, and they seldom failed to utilize these chances. Fitzgerald was easily the star of the game, scoring many goals under difficult situations. Smith played a fine game for the Quindonian Club. Dickinson and Keyes also played well. The sum- mary :— Phi Delta. Quindonian.

The cup to become the property of the player having the highest average in the league games. 2. In case of a play-off for the championship of the Boston Interscholastic League, the batting rec- ords of that game shall also be included. 3. To be a contestant, one must play in every league game. 4. The official scorer of the club shall award the cup. HERBERT CURRIER. EDWIN D. PHILBRICK. DAVID COUNTWAY. The Indoor Meet. At the indoor meet March 14 at the Mechanics' building. Somerville secured three points. These were won by R. Prichard in the 1.000-yard run. After a few laps, it was plainly seen that first place would rest with Murphy, of Worcester, or Prichard. Murphy had the pole, and although Rube” attempted to pass him several times. Murphy always had a little sprint left. In the final lap Murphy beat out Prichard by hardly a foot. In doing this, he was forced to break the record for the distance. The record now stands at 2.28 1-5. In the forty-yard dash and in the forty-five-yard low hurdle. Wyman qualified, but was beaten out in the finals. In the 300-yard both McLaughlin and Frost qualified, but were not placed in the final heat. Blair ran a strong race in the mile, and finished well to the front. Somerville ran Boston College Preparatory School in a most exciting relay race. Wvman started for Somerville, and for two laps ran about even with his man, but in the third lap he struck a pace that was altogether too warm for Far- ley. and at the finish was leading the Boston man by fifteen yards. Keyes took up the race and ran a pretty race, adding five more yards to Somer- ville's advantage. McLaughlin, who had run the 300-yard, started on the third relay, but weakened, and when Prichard started for the final relay, he had about twenty yards to make up. Somerville’s chances did seem rather small, but Prichard started like the wind after his man. On the first lap it w as plainly evident that the red and blue was gaining, but was it not too late? By the end of the second lap Prichard was running even with his man. and soon the Somerville section drew a breath of relief when Prichard shot to the front and won the race. This was one of the pluckiest races of the day, and the enthusiasm was great at all times. While Somerville did not win many points, the track team did better than ever before, as we had more qualified for the finals than ever in the school history. This is a sure sign that track athletics are not on the wane. Let there be still greater interest. Captain McLaughlin and Trainer Sampson should be complimented on the showing made by our boys. ----n S. T. D. vs. E. N. The S. T. I).

The game was very close in the first half, the pe- riod ending 10-14. in Somerville’s favor. In the second half, the superior team work of Somerville began to tell, and they obtained a comfortable lead over their opponents. The summary:— SOM ER VILLE. S I ON E U A M.

SANBORN, 06. r|' 11E final success of the oratorio should fill every student of the English School with pride. The financial end of the affair is most encouraging. The house was packed, and everyone went away well pleased. From an artistic point of view, it was a triumph. Mr. Hadley has said that at first he was laughed at. when he proposed to have six hundred untrained school boys and girls give Haydn’s Creation.” Hut he is not laughed at now. We are all grateful to him for suggesting this particular oratorio. The flowers presented to him by the school, through the Senior class president. Mr. Currier, should as- sure him of our cordial appreciation of his efforts. It was very unfortunate that on the afternoon ot the concert, our soprano, Mrs. Williams, found that she was too hoarse to sing. flic previous day's rehearsal and singing the same evening again had proved too much. Just what would have be- come of us had not someone come to our assist- ance. is difficult to say. Mrs. Alice May Bates Rice, with only two hours’ preparation, took Mrs. Williams’ place; and her kindness will never he forgotten. The charming manner in which she 74 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR sang her part was much appreciated by all present. The tenor, Mr. C. B. Shirley, took his part well, and the bass. Mr. Harry F. Merrill, was very much applauded, particularly when he wandered down to D. The Radiatok congratulates the school upon this great success. Lest we might exaggerate in our enthusiasm, we quote from the press:— In Symphony hall last evening the six hundred or more pupils of the Somerville English high school pre- sented Haydn’s oratorio. “The Creation.” with Mrs. Alice May Hates Rice, soprano. Clarence R. Shirley, tenor, and Harry F. Merrill, bass, as soloists, a full and excel- lent orchestra, with Karl Ondricek, as principal. Joshua Phippen as organist, and S. Henry Hadley, teacher of music in the Somerville schools, as conductor. From the rear of the second balcony, where the best effects from both scenic and vocal point of view could bo secured, the sight presented on the extended stage was extremely pretty. There was a compact mass of black and white, the latter being the dominant color for the girls’ gowns, with various colored ribbons in the hair to give relief to the white. Mr. Hadley's reputation as a musical in- structor is of no small range, and his efforts with the present body reflects equal credit on him and on his singers. The choruses were attacked with remarkable precision; there was no lagging on the tempo, and the phrasing was in splendid unison. With the possible ex- ception of a weakness in the tenor line, the balance was admirable. A praiseworthy feature was the promptness with which the chorus rose and was seated: it was done instantaneously, with no rustling, no annoying fluster.— Boston Transcript. That soul stirring oratorio. Creation.” presented by the pupils of the Somerville English high school at Symphony hall last evening, reflected exceeding credit on the musical ability of Somerville’s rising generation. The chorus. 600 strong, were obviously trained to the finest point of unified and concerted action; adequately effective when called upon, yet never bombastic. Es- pecially was this noticeable in that majestic chorus, “The Heavens are Telling.” and also the Hallelujah air at the end of Part II.—Boston Advertiser. Somerville’s pride In her schools was strongly in evi- dence on Wednesday evening, when upwards of two thousand residents of the city wended their way to Sym- phony hall. The occasion which attracted such a con- course of Somerville residents to the Hub was the ren- dition of Haydn's Creation by a chorus of 600 pupils of the English high school, assisted by well-known solo- ists. Many musical critics were in the audience, and at the conclusion of the two hours’ of song, were profuse with their words of praise.—Somerville Journal. 'A A A A EXT month we must bid farewell to the Radi- or; and we expect the June issue to be some- thing worth having. It will contain seventy-two pages, printed on a rough paper with mounted half tones. The pictures of the staff, the track team, the baseball team, and the two class pictures will be among them. Besides these there will be a great variety of the usual line cuts, cartoons, and illustrations. As fewer borders, tail- pieces, initial letters, and such things have come in than we expected, it is probable that we can use all that do appear before May 28. The poems for the color plate are now being illustrated; and the pic- tures of almost all of the class editors have been made. Pictures of the managers of some of the teams will be put in also. The athletic column w ill, of course, contain the usual summaries and batting averages. The cover in June, we expect, will be embossed in gold. Xow it will naturally be asked, bow can such a number be put together for ten cents per copy. The answer is: It can't. The price for the June Radiator will be twenty-five cents, and subscrip- tions for it will be taken soon. Those who sub- scribed for the year, will of course receive it without extra charge: but we hope to sell them all an extra copy at the advanced price. Class notes will he due May 26, and we want good ones for the souvenir number. Contributors should have material in on May 22 to be sure of having it considered. All clubs desiring mention in the June Radiator. must present their material, together with a design of their emblem, before May 22. The usual club notes, resolutions, etc., will be taken until about June 2. r . � ATTENTION of the graduating classes is called to the fact that we ought to have some other social functions just before leaving school than the soiree and the receptions. A Junior class day. and also a Senior class day might be held. Some Junior classes give a reception to the outgoing Senior classes. Or the class might have a party. At any rate, it seems that just before leaving school, some of us never to return, we ought to make more of the last days. . v tt f 11V does not somebody write a really thought- ful. earnest article for the June Radiator? We will not suggest a title, but it would be a pleasure to have some solid material for a leading article. We are just a little short of stories for that issue, but we trust that some more will appear. Writers, it will be worth your while to be in the June Radiator. r 'J'HIS month we have four extra pages, six good stories, and the best illustrations we have bad this year. But, unfortunately, we are compelled to omit the Exchange column. The Club notes, although brief this month, were not cut down at all. JllE picture of the basket ball girls that we have this month is a very good one. It is by Purdy —that explains it. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR i 75 ACROSS THE CONTINENT. By Louise E. Marden, l.t ’06. TWEEN Massachusetts and Cali- fornia lie vast prairies and the great Rocky Mountains. 'Hie long trip across the continent had many attractions for us.—the large cattle ranches in Nebraska, the beautiful cities of Colorado nestling among the hills, and the stupendous grandeur of the mountains as they tower above majestic gorges through which the train threads its perilous way beside rushing rivers. Then, too, we visited the Capitol in Denver, the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs, a great resort, and the Mormon Temple and Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, where we talked with Mormons, and heard an organ recital in the Tabernacle. smooth roads between rows of graceful pepper trees, or avenues of palms. The pepper trees have drooping foliage, and are thick with clusters of bright red berries. The old live-oaks are so gnarled they remind one of New England apple trees, and they arc hung with the prettiest silver mosses. In Pasadena is a very famous ostrich farm, where we saw over a hundred of the great, ungainly birds. Some that were just hatched were as large as hens. Many of the older ones are named for great people. The city has a very pretty background in the Sierra Madre Mountains. P� y means of a mountain railroad, we were taken in a few hours from the midst of orange blossoms and roses into deep snow under the pines. From where the car stopped, wc INTERIOR OF A CLOISTER. CALIFORNIA. As the train sped across Nevada, at occasional stops we saw many ferocious (?) North American Indians. One old Indian woman, with a pappoose strapped on her back, politely turned away when she saw my kodak, for they are very superstitious about being photographed. Our long journey was by this time nearing its end. and soon California greeted us, with all its beauty and charm. ()ur longest stop in one place was at beautiful Pasadena. There the orange and lemon trees grow in profusion, and the stately palms tower sixty feet in the air. To be right there, where I could pick the oranges myself, seemed at first too good to be true. We enjoyed many lovely drives, bowling over the did some rather difficult mountain climbing. It was a novel experience, and we felt well paid for our efforts when we reached the summit. The view of the mountains and valleys, with the broad Pacific in the distance, was a grand one. The national flower of California is the poppy. It is not the red poppy, but a very sunny, golden yellow, verging on the orange. When it is in bloom, the fields appear to be on fire, they are so covered with it. One day we drove to a friend's big fruit ranch. As we entered the ranch, we filled the carriages as we went with large oranges and grape fruit. The beautiful Canon Crest Park in Redlands is an ideal spot for a picnic. At Riverside wc saw the inter- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 176 csting process of washing and packing the oranges to send East. At Monterey, another beautiful resort, we spent many delightful hours in row boats. 1 always think of Redwood, Cal., in connection with violets; myriads of them were to be seen everywhere. While in Palo Alto, we visited the magnificent Stanford University. The buildings are very new, and handsomely built in the Mission style of archi- tecture. Why, is it possible I have not mentioned the old Franciscan missions? Perhaps you have heard of them. They are fast crumbling and moldering away. They were built of the old adobe by the Franciscan monks, and the descendants of these monks are in some of the missions to-day. A few steps from the San Gabriel mission are some ruined walls, which were once a part of the mission. Quo- tations from the Bible are written on these walls. Many of the missions have but a few crumbling arches to mark their sites. During the several days we were in San Fran- cisco, we visited the Golden Gate Park. Chinatown. for them. It was interesting to see them swoop down after them. Victoria is a quaint, sleepy, English town. I have heard that if a polo game was coming off, all the stores would be closed for the afternoon. We went on a twilight drive through Beacon Hill Park, w here the Scotch broom grows wild, and is consid- ered a weed. In the residential parts of Victoria the driver pointed out people's castles and palaces, as they call them. From Victoria we crossed over to Vancouver, and were once more on the mainland. A drive through Stanley Park took us to the mammoth trees, real forest giants. There is one, the largest in the park, where carriages drive through the trunk. We saw the steamship Empress of Japan. which was to sail in a few days. It was at Vancouver that we took the train which was to take us across the Canadian Rockies, a sev- eral days trip to Minneapolis. The train crossed the Cascade Range, which is well named, over the Selkirks, through Kicking Horse Pass, on to Banff, past innumerable cascades and shining glaciers. A CALIFORNIA MONASTERY. the Cliff House, and also took the Observation Car. San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest in the United States. There are many underground streets, where most of the people live. We went through Chinatown in the evening, and at ten o’clock the little pig-tailed children were playing in the streets. At the Cliff House one may sit for hours on the broad piazza and watch the great seals and sea lions basking in the sun on rocks a little way out. Their roaring can be plainly heard above the noise of the surf. From San Francisco we went to Sacramento. There, in the Capitol, the treasurer allowed me to hold a small drawer containing $10,000 in gold. I am quite sure no one would ever attempt to run off with one of those. I also held $70.000 in govern- ment bonds. After leaving the Golden State, our return trip was perhaps even more interesting than the trip out through the United States Rockies. Skirting the coast north from Sacramento, visiting Portland. Oregon, Tacoma, and Seattle, we crossed Puget Sound and the Straits of Fuca on the steamer Majestic” to Victoria, the capital of British Co- lumbia, on Vancouver Island. We were six hours on the water, and the white sea gulls followed all the way from Seattle. They do this every day, and the passengers throw bread crumbs on the water We stayed a day at Banff, in order to visit the Hot Springs, which are very sulphurous, and the Government Park, where many buffalo are kept. Now the mountain streams were flowing cast, and soon we were again on the prairies, watching for badgers, gophers, prairie dogs, coyotes, and prairie chickens. It was great fun to see the cowboys with their lariats, rounding up the cattle. The Indians often came to the stations with things to sell. In one place there was an Indian wearing a very bright shawl. He was very near the car window, and 1 had my kodak all ready, when some one near him pointed at me, whereupon he immediately turned his back. We arrived in Minneapolis shortly before Ad- miral Schley and his party came from Montana. In fact, we saw him in Pasadena. San Francisco, and Portland, Ore. We were not long in Minneapolis, but went to Janesville. Wis., and from Chicago home by way of Niagara Falls and Buffalo. The Falls were very grand, and so were the Whirlpool Rapids, but by this time we were most anxious to sec Boston once more. When the brakeman said, The next sta- tion is Boston.” all we had seen in the far West was forgotten for the moment, and all our thoughts were of home. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 177 RECONCILIATION. By Frank W. Tucker, E., '03. S Basil Barry was strolling aim- lessly through the hotel par- lors. he heard some one call softly after him. It was his cousin. Mary Grey, the smiling little woman of about twenty- five seated at the open window. “Basil,” said she. “I must have another talk with you about the novel. What’s the trouble now? he asked gaily. Sir Henry hasn't fallen in love with the wrong woman again, has he? No. His conduct lately has been above re- proach. The only trouble now is that I can't read his thoughts clearly enough, so I want you to imagine yourself in his place, and tell me what he would think if he discovered that his best friend— Oh. dear, there’s the stage. It must be after five already, and if I get started on that story. I'll never be dressed in time for dinner. Arc you going to the hop?” ‘No. said he gravely. Well. then, meet me a little after nine at the west end of the long piazza, and we’ll find out Sir I Ienry’s thoughts. All right.” said he. with an air of abstraction. Then he wandered down the corridor, leaving her to remark mentally:— I guess there's been a quarrel. Anyway. I'll find out whether there has or not from Mariellc.’’ Mariellc Rolfe was in the writing room. Her note paper lay blank on the desk before her. and her eyes were fixed on vacancy. Mary Grey, see- ing her there, entered in search of information. She set about getting it in the manner of a true dip- lomat. She selected a pen with particular care, and took some writing paper (which she had no use for), then on her way to the door, she paused and asked casually:— Arc you going to the hop to-night. Mariellc?” “No, I’m too tired to dance to-night.” was the reply. Only the first word of it was strictly true, but was that any reason why Miss Grey, as she hurried to her room, should say to herself, I thought so ? About quarter after nine, when Basil sauntered up the veranda, he saw that something dusky-white and wrapped in a fluffy shawl was occupying the big armchair. He drew up another chair and seated himself. I didn't expect you so early. Mary. he said. She made no answer. The low mountains in the distance were ditnlv lit by the quarter moon, the lamps of the village twinkled below the hill, the hotel buildings made heavy, black shadows on the lawn. Down in the valley among the trees the river foamed over the rocks: around the corner of the house the moon- light was preparing a grand assault on the darkness of the veranda (already it had captured the steps and a corner of the tloor): in the grass an orchestra of crickets, all fiddlers, played fortissimo passages in throbbing, beating rhythm, interrupted now and again by the solemn double bass of a wandering bullfrog all out of time. Finally she broke the silence, not to speak of the novel, as he expected, but to ask in a very low voice:— Why didn't you go to the hop to-night? He answered readily. “Because I had this en- gagement with you ’ ()h! said she. He was puzzled. Surely she must have known that his answer was not true. Why. then, did she let him trifle with facts so openly? He stared in vonder. but in the darkness he could see only a dull, white figure in the old wicker chair. She seemed desirous that he should do the talk- ing. for she questioned again:— Did you enjoy vour tramp up to the cascade this afternoon? “Yes. while it lasted. We had a fearful quarrel. And you enjoyed it? In her interest she leaned forward on the chair arm. Her voice sounded strange. Only while it lasted.” said he. wondering at her excitement. Tell me about it. she said, leaning back again. He began: There’s mighty little cause, but lots of effect to this thing. We had a petty argument, and I proved her wrong and convicted her with her own words. Of course, being a woman, she couldn't stand that, so she said I was no gentleman. I said 1 was sorry---- He gazed reflectively at the line of moonlight creeping silently towards them. The light reflected from the floor made the shadow less dense. He noticed a ring on the third finger of the hand on the chair-arm. When it suddenly occurred to him that his cousin never wore rings, he began to under- stand several things. Well? said she. “What?” said he. with sudden delight in forcing her to talk. Why don’t you finish your story?” I didn’t think you were interested. I told her I was sorry, but that only made it worse. She said: I'll never speak to you again.’ Do you think she meant it? She moved uneasily in her chair, but made no answer, so he continued: She started home with her head so high that she fell over a dead branch, square into my arms. As I set her on her feet. I— chuckled, and it made her angry clear through. She nearly cried, and we didn’t say a word to each other all the way home.” What are you going to do about it? she asked. What do you think he did? i 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR HEARD NEAR THE HOTEL REGISTER. By A. Drummer, E., '03. - «ip Vx rnmm |OR some time White River Junction lias been noted throughout the country as a favor- ite resort for traveling salesmen. The hotel office looked decidedly cheery on the evening of my arrival. The air without was crisp, and the leaves had been eddying for several hours. Eight or ten of us had enjoyed a lively game of cards after supper, but as the evening pro- gressed. they had, one by one. retired for the night. As the office clock struck the hour of midnight, I folded my paper and said to a drummer who sat near the open fireplace. ‘‘Now I wish I had some venison, and I could go to sleep at peace with the world and my stomach. Fond of hunting, are you? he remarked. Oh. yes, if game is plenti- ful. I like it Well put in. Let me tell you of my one and only trip. You know Atkins, don’t you? He travels leather goods for L. 1 . Hopkins. Well, he pre- tends to be a sport, and said that if I would go down in Maine with him. he would give me my money's worth of deer. He told me that I would need a Remington, lots of ammunition, some canned goods, and some cough medicine: you know those woods are rather damp. I played the owl in the daytime, that is. looked wise, but kept still, and he continued. We left the train at some ‘jumping-off’ place near Katahdin. and Fred hired a horse and wagon, and we started on a drive into the woods, where, as Fred described it. you could almost throw your arms around the deer, they were so plentiful. Of all rough riding! For six hours we pushed that horse along, and finally we stopped near a cabin. All out the end doors!' cried Fred, and I stepped lively, for I was tired of riding behind that horse We unlocked the cabin, and unloaded our supplies. Fred drove on. and in about an hour returned with a half-breed called Pete. 'This is the cook, hostler, and guide said Fred, explaining. Well. Pete was a good-natured, simple fool, con- tent with plenty of strong tobacco and two dollars in silver every day for wages. He had a fear of paper money, but Fred knew his business, and had brought plenty of change. He cooked us a supper, and we went to sleep, dreaming of moose and even- other kind of game. Next day we started off behind Pete, each with his cartridge belt full and hopes high. Well, we walked all over the county, I guess, but the deer had evidently got news of the arrival of some crack shots, and had taken to the bushes. Tired and dis- couraged, we returned. Next day we met with the same luck, and so on for nearly a week, until I was so disgusted that I stayed at the shack and played cook, and let them do the heavy work. Finally. Pete said he would take us up to the lake that night, and we could try our luck there. About nine o'clock we shoved out in a canoe and paddled into the shadow of some trees. It was a charming night, and the pale moon was just peep- ing over Mt. Katahdin. Occasionally the almost human cry of a loon well up the lake could be heard. You have heard those blamed birds, haven’t you ? They would make you feel funny if you didn't know what they were. Well, to get back to deer. Soon Pete nudged me and pointed in-shore. There behind some reeds I could see a dark form. Yes. I thought I saw his antlers. We edged in closer. We had arranged previously that I was to shoot first when Pete gave the signal. Anxiously I waited, my rifle in my lap. Pete nudged me. and I raised mv rifle and fired. 1 was so excited I know I did not hit him. At the report there was a hurried retreat and a crashing of under- brush. and Fred sent a bullet in pursuit of our prey. We paddled in-shore and searched, but to no avail. Next morning we followed blood spots for about one hundred yards, and then we found our poor horse that we had shot the night before stretched out stiff as a board. I then remembered that Pete had constantly remarked while following the trail that the hoof prints were rather strange for deer, but what did we care about hoof prints, we were after game. Next day we started cross-country to the sta- tion. and bred told the keeper a pathetic story of how the horse had suddenly died one night, and offered him twenty-five dollars damages, which were accepted.

ARLIE GRAHAM was in love. He knew it, the whole family knew it, every one that saw him knew it, every one but—that was just it. She didn’t seem to know it. Not that he was to blame for that, perish the thought: he tried to impress it on her every time he saw her. but she always looked at him with such sweet, wondering, blue eyes and such an innocent expression that he had to wonder himself. Two or three times he had screwed up his courage to avow his love, and burned the midnight oil writing a declaration, but where that courage went to he didn’t know, for no sooner was he alone with her than it flew off, taking all his speeches with it. and left him in as pitiful a condition as if he hadn't known just what to say and how to say it. Rut now his chance had come. He should never have more favorable conditions than to-night. His sister was giving a flirtation masquerade whist. Lor the benefit of those who are not familiar with the game. 1 will say that flirtation whist requires an uneven number of couples. It is played in the same manner as progressive partner whist, with the exception that the extra couple sit out the game in some cosy corner arranged for the purpose, and dis- cuss some subject given them, as: What is love? What are your ideas of marriage? etc. As he thought about it. he grew so hopeful and enthusiastic that he immediately called Florence in. and after being closeted with her half an hour, the world never looked brighter. That night at dinner he really whistled, a thing he had not been guilty of for weeks, so that his younger sister Mabel said: Oh. Charlie, has she accepted? at which he actu- ally winked, and whispered in her ear. Not yet. but----” Half a dozen times he asked. Mother, you re- member everything, don’t you? and then would rush to the glass to fix his tie again. He rehearsed his speech twice to the enraptured Mabel, who assured him that no girl could with- stand such an appeal. She knew she couldn’t and she ought to have known, for she was as well versed in such matters as any sixteen-year-old miss ever thought herself. He would have gone through it a third time, but Mabel had dis- appeared. It was a very happy, but very alert, young man that sat in the Grahams’ parlor that evening, and watched the masqued guests as they entered. He glanced at the clock. Gladys was always on time. and it was already quarter------ There she was! Yes! ves! that graceful little shepherdess! What girl was there as dainty and petite as she? When all the guests had come, Mrs. Graham, who acted as matron, announced that an original plan was to be used in the selection of partners. A large upright frame, on which was stretched a sheet, was placed in the centre of the room. The ladies stood on one side, and the gentlemen on the other. The gentlemen were given numbered slips, and the ladies were told to place the toe of one shoe under the sheet, so that only three or four inches showed on the other side. The men were to choose in turn, and the lady whose toe was chosen was to be his partner throughout the evening. Then the papers were distributed, and number one. as had been ar- ranged, came to Charlie, and with poorly concealed pleasure he made his selection. Why should he hesitate? He would know her foot among a thou- sand. how could he mistake it among eleven ? And when he came to the end of the partition and met her. his joy knew no bounds. Fortune smiled on him. It was the little shepherdess, his own Gladys! They were to flirt the first game out. and as he led her to the little den, with its dimmed light, he glanced at the paper given him by the hostess—the subject they were to discuss. It read: What is your idea of a partner for life?” He passed it to her. and she said, tremulously. Gentlemen first, please. It was her dear, sweet voice? He recog- nized it through her thin disguise. He could not speak. His throat was dry. his fingers twitched. What was his speech. He re- membered it: yes. no, how did it begin? Oh. wha should he say! She gave a slight sigh. He must say something! With a tremendous effort, he began: My—my wife must be—must be a little girl, short—and graceful, too. Blonde, yes. blonde, with blue eyes. My partner—wife—must have curly hair, light hair, and blue eyes. And she must, she must have--------” Just then the bell sounded. Their flirtation was over. Her hand shook when she placed it on his arm. and thev re- turned to the parlor. They had to begin at the foot and work upwards. Never was there such whist playing. First he reneged, then she trumped hi = ace. then he made a misdeal, and she forgot to r - turn his color. At length they were again in the den. As soon as they were alone, he cried out. Mv own darling. I love you, I love you! Tell me you will be mine! Say the word! Tell me you love me! Please. I beg, my sweetheart! Chari L paused a moment. He could tell by her gasps for breath that his words had moved her. He could restrain himself no longer, and. clasping her to him. lie tore off her masque, and then—he sank back, for. instead of Gladys, it was his own sister Mabel. You! you!” he cried. Forgive me. she said, through her laughter. I’ll never tell. Oh! you were so funny! and I did wonder if you’d remember your speech, and then vou didn’t, and after all that practice! You see. i8o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Gladys was sick, and she asked me to take her place: I'm just about her size. I should have told you who I was. but I thought I’d just see whether you’d get through it all right. It would have been good practice for you, you know, and then you began so funny. I wanted to sec how you’d get through it. You don’t mind very much now. do you ?’’ For answer, Charlie only straightened his clothes and masque, and took her back to the guests. Later, when the unmasquing came, every one was surprised to find that the shepherdess was Mabel Graham instead of Gladys Richmond. Since then Charlie has recovered, but he declares he will never make love again at a masqued affair, even if it be a flirtation whist. TOM KANE TALKS. AN EPISODE OF '61. By Chester Merrifield, L., '03. DON’T suppose you can imagine such a place, because you never saw one, but it was a little open glade, surrounded by one of those dense swamps that I’ve never seen anywhere except in the South. I tell you, it was a weird place. Why, at night there was an owl in every tree, and a fox or a panther under every bush. Well, that was a long time ago, but it makes my blood run cold to think of it.” We boys could hardly repress a sigh of satisfac- tion. for we had at last persuaded our old friend 'rom Kane to tell us one of his war experiences. The old fellow was full of reminiscences, and it only needed judicious and tactful persuasion from us to extract a story. Old Tom was warming to his subject, and al- though he had declared that his blood was running cold, after a pause of a few seconds, he cheerfully commenced again. You see. it was just by acci- dent we were in this place. Hen and I had started out on a little spying expedition, and. to escape be- ing caught, had to enter this swamp. We found a darkey there who took us to a place of safety. Well, we stayed there two days, and then set out on our return trip. This was where our adventures really began. I think it was the darkest night I ever saw. Why. if you struck a match you could hardly sec it burn! The darkey, nothing daunted, set out. Hen caught hold of his coat-tail (what there was left of it), and I caught hold of Hen’s, and in this way we traveled all night, and in the morning found our- selves in front of a large white mansion. Well, it didn’t take us long to make our way to the barn and take the only two horses left. We set out again, but this time we didn’t get along quite so well. Just as we passed the house, some one told us to stop. Well, you can just bet your old hat we didn’t. We kept on going just as fast as those old nags could go. I tell you. those were the days for me: life was worth living then. After half an hour of travel, we came to a place where the roads branched. I wanted to take the right one, but Hen he’d always go to the left if there was a chance, so to the left we went. Well, we hadn’t gone far before we were sorry (but it was too late then). Four of the hardest-looking chaps I ever saw made friends to us, and promised that we would be in camp before night. Well, when those fellows got a hold of us. they thought that they had quite a find, and so they had. too much of a one to suit us, but they didn’t wait long to consider our feelings on the subject. They ap- propriated the horses for their own use. and started out. taking turns at riding, but keeping us walking. After traveling in this way for several hours, we arrived in camp, and were taken directly to the commanding officer’s tent. He was a something or other, a corporal, I guess. At any rate, he grew several inches taller when we were brought before him. After a consultation with one or two ragged and dirty men, he came to the conclusion that we must be sent immediately to headquarters, and so we were kept traveling all night, and in the morning we were ushered into the presence of ‘Stonewall’ Jackson. That was the day he captured Harper's Ferry. He didn’t have much time to think of us. so simply ordered us to be put into the guard house, where we went to sleep without any break- fast. and we were pretty hungry, too, as it had been about thirty hours since we had eaten. When we were woke up in the afternoon, we were given a little something to eat (the rebels didn't have much themselves), and then started on our way to Libby. That day was pretty disastrous to the Union, I tell you. “That night we were packed into a box car with about seventy-five others. Don’t know as you know what that is. but I have always had great re- spect for those cars ever since. They arc entirelv SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1S1 separate from the rest of the train: in fact, they arc all alone, except that the engine has to draw them. Well, as I've said, about seventy-five of us were packed into this one car, and two guards were placed over us. The rebels always claimed that one Johnny was worth ten Yankees. As I’ve always told you, Hen here was about the luckiest chap 1 ever knew. For the want of handcuffs, they tied our hands behind our backs with ropes. And Hen lie was mighty strong in those days. Why. in camp the fellers used to stump him to do things that took a powerful sight of strength, but he always beat them. He had the reputation of the strongest man in the regiment. Well, just as soon as them fellows’ backs were turned he just broke those ropes and got loose; yes. sir. he got loose, and. 1 tell you. it wasn’t long before he got those blamed old ropes off my hands, too. But those ropes hurt just a little bit. though. It makes my blood boil now to think of it. We just worked around kinder easy like after that. You see, it was dark as pitch in there, and there were only two guards, so we had it rather easy. We had got pretty near all the other pris- oners on the car untied, when, just as I was un- tying about the last fellow, the train came to a sud- den stop; not one of those gentle ones that hardly makes itself felt, but one that sent us all into a heap. and those guards went. too. but they never got up again. Hen he had one. and a big muscular feller from up in Vermont had the other one. Well, the train started again, but 1 thought it would be rather a good idea to get dressed up as a rebel. I tell you. 1 hated to do it. though. I just had to. that's all. I got into one suit, and the Vermont feller into the other one. We hadn’t much more than got through, when the train stopped, and I heard somebody fooling with the door. Soon it opened, and a gruff voice said: 'Well, corporal, how goes it?' 'Fine. sir. fine!' 1 an- swered. 'They are all asleep, but 1 wish you’d leave that door open just a minute; it's awfully hot in here.’ I hadn't hardly hoped it. but the door was left open. I had been afraid that the two honest guards would speak up. but I afterwards learned that they were being looked after. The officer walked on a few steps, and then I heard him coming back. I thought the jig was up. but he just said. Yer wantcr be kcerful of them Yanks. They may be planning some surprise or other.' and walked off again. I watched him until he got well up the road, and then I says, ‘Come on. byes and out of that car we went purtv lively, but we were discovered. Did we wait to get captured? Well. I rather guess not! Xo, siree. not we!” A BOTANICAL BALLAD. By Joseph Gordon Hcgarty, L., '03. (With Anachronisms.) A sweet little violet, Of warmest blue, Bloomed close to a daisy, Tender and true. Once when the lazy South wind blew, ’Wakening the bluettc, And daffodils, too. The blithe mignonette And anemone rue, And the buttercup hazy, With precious hue. The daisy felt thirsty, And longed for some dew. Now it chanced that the violet Had enough dew, A sufficient supply,— At least for two. So the daisy drooped (As daisies do). And the violet stooped, For well she knew The impudent daisy For a loan would sue. Rut his white frills were mazy, And full soon the daisy Said with a coo. I’m no longer thirsty. Thanks to kisses from you.” Said Robin the witty To the dull cockatoo, Who sat doling a ditty On his perch in the yew,— “It's all very pretty, This dewy a-do. And the daisy is gritty To give him his due, But the trade was a pity Just 'tween me and you.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 182 J X 193( the Republic of Cuba was plunged into deep grief by the death of her president. On the night of February the fifteenth, he had called a meeting of his cabinet, and had told each minister his wishes in regard to the little nation's policy, for- eign and domestic, and then, bidding good-by to each separately, he had dismissed them. The min- isters thought much about his conduct, but they did not wonder, for. anchored in the bay. was a licet of United States battleships, while, swinging with the tide at their moorings, were other ships, represent- ing the other great powers. The streets were patroled by American marines, while each foreign consulate had its own guard of Bluejackets. The little republic was unable to move along smoothly, and internal disorders caused first the Germans, then the French, English, Austrians, and Italians to land, and finally armed men from Spain trod the streets of Havana. The United States government assumed the entire responsibility, and requested the other nations to withdraw their forces. The im- mense crowds before the bulletin boards in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and throughout the country, clamoring for the annexation of Cuba and war with all Europe, testified that the Monroe Doc- trine was not a dead issue. During the night a shot was heard in the Royal Palace, and the whole neighborhood was aroused. Guards rushed hither and thither, seeking the cause of the commotion, but all was quiet. It was only when Germany’s ultimatum arrived, followed two hours later by the landing of her troops, that the door to the president's chamber was forced, and the president was found dead. A revolver in his hand told the story. Outside, while the American marines were slowly driving back those of Germany and Italy, the Cuban secretary of state was reading a curious document. It bore the signature of the dead presi- dent. and was in his handwriting. The president was. in common with the rest of his race, rather excitable and dramatic, and the confession, for such it proved to be, reflected his nature. It read, sub- stantially, as follows:— “February 15th! Thirty-eight years ago! Thirty-seven times have I heard the bells ringing, then, looking from this window, I have seen the A NATION'S SECRET. By Frederick Bradford, L„ '04. lights of a battleship in the harbor, seen a terrible upheaval, seen the battleship raised from the water, broken in halves, and then settle back into the mud of the harbor, the tomb of nearly three hundred men. Then I have shut my eyes, prayed, and tried to stop my ears, but nothing can shut out the ter- rible roar, the faint cries of drowning men, and the ringing of the alarm bells. Then I gather my friends about me, and talk, sing, and laugh, that J may escape what I know will follow, for. at noon, two days after, when the htreet is crowded with market wagons, and merry people line the streets, I hear a band playing the 'Dead March.' I stand, helpless, with my hat in my hand, while a procession passes. No one else heeds it: the throngs laugh and chatter; the market wagons drive through it, but nothing will shut it from my sight. I shut my eyes, and still I see it. First comes a body of soldiers and sailors, guarding—aye, what? A long line of hearses, with countless coffins containing bodies of murdered sailors. Slowly they pass, going to the cemetery. People stare at me, and wonder. But I have to stand bareheaded until they arc gone; then I follow to the cemetery. In December. 1S97, I became an attache of the Royal Palace, in the service of the Spanish captain- general. 1 was serving the cause of Cuba Libre, and the advantages of being where the plans against our country were made were apparent. The Spanish little knew how many enemies were in their midst. The captain-general never suspected that his secretary, his valet, his attendants, wherever he went, were sworn enemies of Spain. Shortly afterward, at a meeting of the Havana Junta, the arrival of the ‘Maine’ was discussed, but nothing definite came of the discussion. On re- turning. I overheard several officers talking in the Palace Royal. From these I learned that the ‘Maine was anchored over a submarine mine. I thought but little of the matter, knowing that the Spaniards would not dare to destroy the ship. 1 was standing at a window overlooking the bay, looking upon the placid waters, and, casually, at the ‘Maine’ swinging at her moorings, when my thoughts returned to the conversation that I had SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «S3 overheard. Then came the thought, 'What if the Maine should be destroyed?’ The result could easily be foreseen. The Americans, being already anxious to interfere, would jump at the conclusion that their ship was destroyed in accordance with orders from Madrid. Intervention would follow, then independence! Immediately followed another thought—about the lives of the three hundred men aboard. The thought would not die. however. Then 1 instituted a search for the wires connecting the mine with the key-board. I eased my conscience by saying that it might be handy to know. Finally my search was rewarded, and I found the wires. The wires leading to the mine under the Maine could easily be distinguished, as, at the water's edge, they branched from the cable and went under the water. My discovery made. I found no rest. In my dreams 1 could see American ships bombarding Morro. American troops shouting. ‘Remember the Maine!’ storming the forts. Then I would wake, to hear a volley fired in Morro. and I knew that more Cubans had secured freedom from Spanish control. One day I accompanied the captain-general to the castle, to witness a trial of Cuban captives. The men had been taken in open fight, but they were condemned to death as spies. The last man raised his head as he took his place. His eye met mine, but we knew our lines, and he gave no sign of recognition. A minute later his body was placed on the cart with the others, and taken to a certain ditch that we all knew by name. That man was my father. That night I rose from my couch and walked upon the water’s edge. I was following my father. He pointed to the cable. Father.’ I gasped. T cannot!’ He lifted his head, and I saw the mark of Spanish bullets. With feverish haste I grasped mv knife, scraped at the insulation of the wires, laid the steel blade across, and—tried to say my prayers. Rut I could not pray. I could not shut out the flash of light, the muffled roar, and the cries for help. I could not look to God for guidance. Oh. Cuba! Cuba! What have I done for thee! 1 knew nothing more for some time. Then I sat up and looked about me. Something that floated in the water was touching my foot. 1 bent close to it and found—the headless body of a sailor. ' I soon left the island. When the war came, I enlisted in an American regiment and returned to Cuba. I sought death at San Juan, but could not find it. The regiment, after the war, returned to the States, and soon received orders to go to the Philippines. 1 was on guard the night before our departure. I was ordered to let no one pass, as many desertions were feared. All went well until about half an hour before my relief, when I saw some one approaching. It was the headless sailor! He started off, beckoning me to follow. Drawn by an irresistible impulse, I went with him. '1 followed, weary and footsore, for miles and miles, but my headless leader never faltered. Day and night he was with me. People did not seem to notice him. though they stared at me. Several times, seeing that people were about to collide with my leader, 1 told them to watch where they were going, but though they walked through him. he kept on. It was not long before we were in Havana again, and. escorted by the headless sea- man. I saw again a battleship blown to pieces and the funeral of her crew. After the volley was fired at the grave, my companion left me. but he always brings me back in time to be in Havana on the fif- teenth of February. “I have been in China, in the palace of the em- peror, only to return for the anniversary. My es- cort has brought me from the Alps; he has found me in the throngs at Monte Carlo and brought me back. Nowhere can I escape his summons, and it is only when I hear, after standing at the graves that to me are yet open, the call Paps and the vol- ley of the escort, that he leaves me. Now he will not have to search far for me. It is nearly midnight, almost time! O God! What’s that? Here he is! No! My father! But here comes my keeper. My poor father, with his blood- smeared face, is pleading for me. but the figure is coming towards me. They are struggling—for my soul! Ah! My poor father! The headless man is coming for me. Rut he will not get me. A re- volver! Now. my headless friend, you are cheated ; do you hear? arc cheated.” Tlk secretary of state read the document through, replaced his cigar, listened to the firing outside, then placed the paper in the fire, and with an andiron scattered the ashes. Memorial. By Percy G. Burns, E., '05. We’ll keep in memory those whose feet Long since have ceased this earth to tread, We’ll gather garlands fresh and sweet, To spread above the glorious dead. With arms reversed, ’mid muffled drums, We’ll march, 'twixt lofty city walls.

Somerville played Rindge Manual Training School Patriots’ Day before a crowd of 700 people. Tift was on the slab for Somerville, and, with the exception of the first two innings, had fine control. Beckett pitched for R. M. T. S.. and kept the hits scattered until the sixth, when we scored three runs on hits bv Haves, Hodgdon, and a beautiful triple by Blair. This was practically our first home game, and the baseball played by our team was of a fast order. The fielding of the ball was. as a rule, fast and clean, but in throwing to bases the boys were inclined to be erratic. This fault is quite common in the early development of any team. Hayes, Cuddy, and Blair, new men on the team, played in a manner that gives promise of great things later on in the season. I )ickinson at second put up a fast exhibi- tion of fielding, as did also Mullonev at short. For Training School, Hannum and Boyson excelled. The score:— SOMERVILLE. AB. R. BH. PO. A. E.

Both teams played good baseball, but Hafford, who was in the box for Somerville, had the best of the pitchers' battle. But two hits were scored on Hafford, one in the first and one in the third inning. Somerville found Carter to their liking and scored eleven hits. Haflford leading with three hits and a total of five bases. Blair started in the third by cracking out a single. Mulloney sacrificed, and Hafford connected, scoring Blair; 'lift drew a pass, and Dickinson placed a hit in left centre for two bases, scoring Mulloney and Hafford. In the seventh inning, hits by Mulloney. Haf- ford. and Hodgdon. aided by a couple of costly errors by the Malden infield, added five more runs to our total. Whittier and McCurda played fine baseball for Malden. For Somerville, Mulloney and Dickinson ex- celled. 'Hie score:— SOMERVILLE. Alt. It. BIT. PO. A. E.

May 1. about thirty loyal supporters of the team went to Dorchester and saw our boys go down in defeat to Dorchester High School. That our boys had a stage-fright is without a doubt. When the team came on the field for pre- liminary practice, it could be seen that they were very nervous. Somerville went to the bat and the first two men fanned the air, and Hafford Hied out. This did not serve as a tonic for the nerves of our team. I11 Dorchester's half, they scored two runs on a hit, a base on balls, and a couple of wild throws. In the second inning we scored one run on a costly error by Haynes. I11 the third inning. Dorchester bumped Tift's curves for six hits in succession, and Hafford went in to try his hand. With the six hits were several costly errors by the infield. If proper support had been given Tift lie would probably have pulled himself out of a hard position with but few runs scored against ns. The support given our pitchers throughout the game was enough to cause any pitcher to become discouraged. Dorchester did not take kindly to Hafford’s curves and failed to connect except once in a while for a scattering single. Brayley lost his control somewhat in the sixth inning, and on a pass and a hit we succeeded in scoring once again. I11 the seventh. Brayley took a balloon ascension and allowed four bits to be made off his delivery, besides giving a base on balls. That Somerville did not score more than three runs in this inning was due more to hard luck on our part than to the good playing of Dorchester. The score:— DORCHESTER. AB. BII. PO. A. K.

This wonderful object, of which he has obtained several barrels, he will place on sale at the absurdly low price of ninety-nine cents. Following this, arc testimonials, the writers of which aver that they, by the use of the pebble in question, have either been fortunate in love, or have obtained scats at the theatre where they have not been disturbed by late-comers during the first twenty minutes of the play. Many of the readers believe these incredible things, thereby evincing their belief that there is an unknown quantity from the spiritual world that brings luck. The others laugh. The connection with the story that I am telling is this—many of my readers will swear that my friend had a lucky stone, and the others will sniff, “Chance!” and turn to the next. Now for the talc. The worst thing that can be said of my friend Jimmie-is that his life has been a quiet and uneventful life. Jimmie is no life-saver, no athlete; he did not enlist for the war; he is no writer. Hence Fame has passed him coldly by. He has a ready wit, and an amorous side to his nature. Here, then, I record the beginning of his downfall. To begin with, he was basely deceived by an enthusiast, a man who gave non-achromatic accounts of a certain island off the Maine coast, assuring him that it was the only perfect place washed by the North Atlantic,—boating, swimming, surf, pretty girls, dancing, moonlight nights, and all the consequences. Jimmie’s indiscretion got the better of him, and off he went. It seems that the enthusiast had not beheld the land of his dreams for full three years, and three years may be an aeon in the life of a summer resort. Now all that remained of the above-listed attractions was the moonlight, the surf, and the swimming. In my friend's estimation, the essentials were lacking. To say that he was disappointed and ruffled does not smack in the least of hyperbole. The hotel was deserted save for a party of biologists, and, as James sagely re- marked, “The real girl has a better job than chasing sea-urchins and rockweed.” Under pressure, Jimmie’s sense of humor often seeks strange channels. He wrote the following, with red ink, on the back of an old envelope:— “Lat. 13 North. “Long. 46 West. “Stranded on desert island. Alone. Water gone. Cannot last much longer. Address this to Lawrence-----------, Boston.” When he had corked it up in a Moxie bottle, he proceeded to the outermost part of the island, threw it out beyond the churning surf, watched the off-shore wind bear it seaward, and then returned in time to catch the boat for a more favored spot, a resort which he had himself tried, and had not found wanting. It was with the serene prospect of a happy summer that he went down to dinner. Here he cast a cursory glance upon a young lady at the other end of the hall. His next glance was not so cursory. Soon he could find nothing else of interest. She was the paragon of all that is right in femininity, one of those light-haired, blue-eyed maidens such as some really respectable poets have wasted yards of good rhymes upon. I will not attempt to describe her further with my mean scrivener’s pen, and I generously refrain from quoting the irresponsible effusions of my friend. Jimmie knew that the long-sought-for one was found. Did I mention that he is by no means ill-favored? He soon made a slight hit, and backed it up with all his talents, lavished his merriest witticisms, and talked profoundly on the sub- jects in which she was interested. His star was already rising, when, in a heart- to-heart talk, the awful truth was revealed to him. The girl, having a romantic mind, had a romantic ideal. None of your little men for her. She wanted a man, a man of action; she felt that she could just adore a man who had passed through some harrowing experience. Yes, the clever man was well enough in his way, but he seemed incomplete. Jimmie was obviously not for the mold, and his chances were not looming large in his own eyes. Next her interest waned. In about a week it revived, continuing to ebb and flow for a period of a month. During the revivals he did his best to appear ac- ceptable. Yet he felt that they were becoming more and more estranged. Meditating on the cause of this, he remembered Kipling’s “If she grow suddenly gracious, reflect, Is it all for thee? The black-buck is stalked through the bull, And man through jealousy.” He had been blind! There was a rival, and votaries of the game say that a rival is the most embarrassing of oppositions. Had James had more of a certain kind of ingenuity, he would have been the first to reach the little girl that fell overboard, or would have headed the search party when the two spinster ladies were lost in the fog, and thus in a small, but sufficient, measure filled out her ideal. Again, however, as the season wore on, the pendulum began to swing more strongly to my friend’s side. The other gentleman was evidently not making good. Jimmie’s physical attributes were beginning to score. She began to call him by his front name. And when they do that, ’tis considered a good sign. The two became as rare a sight at the hotel as a Chinaman at a bar. The fateful Labor Day drew near. Jimmie resolved to break from his lethargy and express himself more explicitly. If he could only make her see. I did not mention that he was superstitious. Well, on the night before the day set for the departure, he retired to his closed room and turned down the lamp. Then he jocosely lit some joss sticks to give a bizarre effect, and produced an old pack of cards. Bending them back between his thumb and fingers, after the manner of a prestigiator, he sent them flying in a steady stream, face down, to the floor. When he turned up the light, one, the two of hearts, lay face up on the scattered pack. The omens were favorable, and he went down to keep his engagement. They walked silently to the favorite spot, and there spread the steamer rug. The booming sea on the point below, the white moonlight glancing on the patches of wind-ruffled water afar out, the lapping tide at their feet, the still, dark pines in back,—the poetry of the place,—hung heavy over them. They talked some on amatory themes. The girl’s ideal had become slightly altered and localized. It needed but a touch of the old--- Something glittering in the water washed tinklingly against the beach. It was a bottle. “You must get it, Jimmie,” said she. “It may contain a message from some poor, shipwrecked sailor. It’s your duty to get it.” Jimmie trotted down. It was a Moxie bottle, and there was something inside it. He smashed it on a rock, and handed her a small roll of paper. She held it in the light, and read:— Lat. 13 North. “Long. 46 West. “Stranded on desert island. Alone. Water gone. Cannot last much longer. Address Lawrence-------” Suddenly Jimmie had an inspiration. “Great Heavens!” he exclaimed, jumping up, “let me look! Yes, the same that I wrote five years ago. Did I never tell you?” And he began to fib glibly after the manner of a boy’s story book. Pleasure trip, great storm, driven south, burning yacht, three weeks on desert isle, nothing to cat, taken off by guano ship just as he began to chew shoes. He had no time to weed out anachronisms, but it was the final touch for the ideal, and it went. “Oh, Jimmie,” said she, when he had finished, “why didn't you tell me this before?” Of course it was unfair to so prey upon a pet fancy, and unworthy of him. However, he is very happy now, as he is looking at rings, and just as soon as he feels it is safe, he is going to confess. William L. Phillips, L.. ’04. T was the very hottest part of the day when I arrived at the entrance of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. My head was ringing with the many noises of the cars. Dut I had hardly entered the grounds, when a cooling, restful sensation came over me. A light wind was gently swaying the branches of the trees, while a few birds lent their songs to the beauty of the place. I wandered down the first path in the shade of magnificent maple trees. The gravestones here are very simple: “Father, 1805-1881 ; “Mother ; “A Beloved Daughter. At the end of this walk there is a knoll, on the crest of which tall and stately pine trees spread their wiry leaves. I was about to go to the top of this hill, when I was startled by seeing the form of a dove nestling in the grass. Knowing some of the traits of pigeons, I was somewhat curious to know why it should be there. Under cover of a row of scrub pines, I approached to within about three feet of the bird, and not till then did I see that it was carved from sandstone. I was wholly surprised and a little annoyed at my mistake, so turned hurriedly and ran up the hill. I walked along, admiring the beauty and calmness of the place. Here, side by side, were buried the bodies of men who fought in 1775 and in 1812. And yet there was no martial spirit in the air. It seemed almost as if the birds were singing hymns. With this thought in my mind, I came to the grave of Thorcau, that great lover of nature. Almost opposite is a plot surrounded by small dwarf pines and an iron fence. I would have passed it without further notice if it hadn't been for a large sign standing in the middle: “Visitors are kindly requested not to pluck the evergreen from about this lot; out of respect to the living, if not to the dead. Then I knew that Hawthorne was buried there. On the other side of the path is the plot marked Alcott, and on one side is a small headstone which marks the grave of Louisa Alcott. I passed along, wondering how it happened that these three great people should be so near together, when I came to the last earthly resting place of Ralph Waldo Emerson, minister, essayist, and poet. His grave is marked by a huge rose quartz boulder, which, though some- what damaged by the weather, is still beautiful. Two stately pine trees stand like sentinels on each side of the stone. They seemed to nod in sympathy as I raised my cap. I stood here meditating on the words, “The Passive Master Lent His Hand To The Vast Soul That O'er Him Planned, which adorn the stone, when the sound of the town clock brought me back to the realities of life. So I passed on and out of the cemetery, and then home in the early twi- light. Frank R. Bradford, E., ’53. IN THE DAYS OF SALEM WITCHES COLD, dreary, New England winter was drawing to a close. To be sure, the snow had not yet begun to melt, but the inhabit- ants of Salem Village felt that the winter’s hardships were nearly over. The season had seemed especially hard to Elizabeth Winthrop, for during those dreary months her father had been taken from her, and she was now left alone with her grandmother. The Winthrop cottage was situated a little apart from the village, nearer the coast, and here in the little house her father had built, the one, too, in which he had died, he had left Elizabeth to fulfill her promise of caring faithfully for his mother. There was little fear of Indians now, but a new and greater danger had arisen—witchcraft. The delusion had had its origin through some children’s accusing unfortunate or peculiar persons in the colony of bewitching them. The excitement spread like wildfire. The Sabbath morning broke, and early the tattoo sounded for church. Elizabeth helped her grandmother get ready, then donned her own long Puritan cape, and tied her closely-fitting bonnet tightly under her chin. They went out together, each clasping a little Testament. Elizabeth locked the door, put the huge key in her pocket, and they started for church. The sun shone brightly, and the heavily-laden trees glittered with the new-fallen snow. They met others as they went silently along; soon they reached the chapel. The Winthrop pew was in the rear, in fact, the last one, and in rather a dark corner. Elizabeth opened the pew door, ushered her grandmother in, and seated herself. Mr. Parris preached on “Witchcraft ; he warned the people to live pure lives, to shun the Evil One, and to pray that the town might be rid of the curse. The girl did not notice that her grandmother was indulging in physical comfort instead of elevating her soul by pious attention to the sermon, until she happened by chance to glance at the other end of the pew, and saw the old lady nodding. A rush of pity for the old woman filled her heart, and she de- cided not to waken her; she was not likely to be observed in that dark corner. But as Elizabeth was turning away, her glance fell upon something silky and black in her grandmother’s lap. She looked closer, and saw that it was a little black cat, curled around comfortably and sound asleep. Her first thought was that it must have come in from some neighboring house before sermon time. Elizabeth liked cats, but suddenly the rumors she had heard about black cats rushed upon her, and the thought of what it might mean seemed to change her to stone. The girl hardly knew what to do. She must protect her grandmother in some way, and that quickly. It would do no good to put the kitten on the floor, for it couldn’t get out unless she opened the pew door, and that would attract attention; so softly pulling her grandmother's cape over it, she began to plan. Elizabeth watched until the old lady awoke, then whisperingly explained to her that the kitten had come in during the sermon, and that she must keep it concealed. By the time the last prayer was ended, Elizabeth’s busy brain had devised a way out of the difficulty. She hurried her grandmother, still clasping the kitten under her cape, out of the church before the rest of the congregation had hardly risen from their pews; yet, once outside, it would not do to walk more quickly than usual. “We must leave it now, granny; ’twould not be safe to bring it home. “Safe, Elizabeth! What dost thou mean? Surely thou wouldst not leave it here to freeze? “Nay, granny, 'tis not safe! The kitten is black; give it me,” and, taking it from the arms of her astonished grandmother, she went back a few yards, left it in the snow, and then ran back again to her grandmother. But the kitten followed as best it could, mewing pitifully, as if begging to be taken from the cold, wet snow. “Poor harmless, little thing,” she murmured. “If only those people were not so foolish! Come, granny, we must leave it.” “Elizabeth, thou must not leave it! ’Tis the Sabbath; it came to me in the Lord's house; 'tis the Lord's,” and, walking back, the old lady bent painfully down and picked it up. The kitten cuddled close in her arms. “Let me have it, granny, some one may see you; you will be thought a witch!” she cried, putting the kitten under her cape. It was certainly little use arguing there in the snow, her grandmother would catch cold; so the little black cat was carried hom,e. Two or three days passed, and although old Mrs. Winthrop still insisted upon keeping the kitten, all went well in their home. But without it was dif- ferent. Men and women were still executed, and old Giles Corey was crushed to death for refusing to plead,—the old English penalty for a refusal to answer. Although Elizabeth had seen no one on looking back to leave the kitten on that memorable Sabbath some one had seen old Mrs. Winthrop when she picked it up. He had spread the story that he had seen Dame Winthrop actually pick up a black cat that had been following her! Some one else had seen her nodding in church! The story grew as it spread until at length it was said she had been to the “witches' circle” and obtained the cat from that source. Some of the rumors reached Elizabeth, who tried her best to explain and silence them, but in vain. Their imaginations soon ran away with their reason; they remembered having seen the old lady doing all sorts of queer things. Dame Winthrop must be arrested. One day, as Elizabeth was going out, she saw two men approaching. She feared and half suspected their mission, and, opening the door again, she cried, “Go into your room, granny, quick!” Then, closing the door and locking it, she put the key in her pocket and waited for them. “You are Dame Winthrop’s granddaughter, are you not?” asked the con- stable. “I am.” “Will you please to fetch her?’' “Nay, I will not.” This was so unexepected in a Puritan maid that he could only stare at her. The constable was young, however, and could not but admire the courage and determination of the girl. Yet he must do his duty; so he began again. “Come, time is going; I have the warrant; if you do not fetch her, we must. For the safety of all, the town must be rid of witches.” “My grandmother is not a witch,” declared Elizabeth, moving nearer the door. “She is no more a witch than you or I. No more were the other inno- cent persons that you executed. There are no witches!” Elizabeth’s eyes flashed; she was determined to do her part. “ 'Tis not meet to argue here,” exclaimed the assistant, moving nearer. Though Elizabeth had locked the door and put the key in her pocket, she sprang upon the doorstep and stretched her arms across the door, still facing them. Suddenly a bold, daring thought seized her. “Let me see the warrant!” she cried, running to the constable. Then, seemingly reading it, with one hand in her pocket, she backed toward the door again, reaching which, she deliber- ately tore the warrant into shreds, crying: “Now, arrest her if you can!” Then, before the astonished men could realize what had happened, she had opened the door, slipped in, and locked it. The constable stood there gazing at the bolted door, dumbfounded. Eliza- beth waited and watched until they had gone; she knew, however, that they would return as soon as another warrant could be made out. Meanwhile, some- thing must be done. To satisfy her grandmother, she had to explain a part of what had hap- pened, but she tried to keep her in ignorance of her real position. As soon as it was dark and Dame Winthrop had retired for the night, Elizabeth quietly put on her cape and bonnet, seized the kitten, went out, and locked the door. It was moonlight, and the black shadows of the trees outlined queer, fantastic shapes on the snow. But Elizabeth noticed nothing. She ran lightly across lots until she came to the house of Governor Phipps. There she hid in a shadow to regain her breath, and to look around her. Holding the kitten closer, she crept softly around to the door, which opened into the room where Lady Phipps sat. Elizabeth gently tried it; it was unbolted, as she expected, and opened to her touch. Silently the opening grew wider, until it would admit her arm. Then, keeping herself in the shadow, she gently threw the kitten, so that it landed on its feet beside Lady Phipps. Elizabeth heard a scream; still keeping in the shadows, she ran home as fast as her feet would carry her. The maid did exactly as Elizabeth expected. The next day it was reported that a black cat had dropped or flown, apparently from nowhere, directly at the feet of Lady Phipps. But at this point in the history of witchcraft, popular feeling changed. It was as Elizabeth had felt sure; Governor Phipps would never sacrifice his lady to a delusion. The spell had been broken. H. F. L., E., '03. 053 £ PHILIPPE “Philippe, why do you not do as I bid you? Go immediately.” “But, mother, I----” “Do you stop to argue when I tell you to do anything?” Philippe obeyed, as he always did. To say that he feared his mother was the truth. He did not fear his father, because he never even noticed his son, but before his hard, cold-hearted mother, with her flashing black eyes, he had always trembled. To be sure, Philippe was fourteen, too old, you might say, to fear his mother. As a child, perhaps slightly timid, rather delicate, and consequently less boisterous than his brothers, he had been looked upon as queer. A prejudice once formed is hard to remove, and he had always been made fun of by his brothers, and. we may say, almost scorned by his parents. “I must be queer, or must be ugly, or why should my mother never address me in a kind tone, as she does my brothers? Why should my father ignore me, and why should my brothers make fun of me?” he would say to himself. Thus this loving, confiding nature, repulsed at every point, recoiled more and more within itself, and drew its pleasures more and more from its own resources. “It's pretty hard for a boy of my age, and I’m afraid I can’t stand it much longer.” But as he sat on the old stone wall, nervously clasping his hands, a smile lighted up his sun-browned face, and his blue eyes, usually so thoughtful, snapped. “Yes, I think I will do it; I’ll go away, I can't stay here.” But his face fell. “Where can I go? Oh! I will trace out a plan from Francois' map.” That evening, when his work was done, he slipped away unnoticed to the little town post-office. Old Francois, who acted as storekeeper and postmaster, was fast asleep in his chair. Philippe, tiptoeing past him, traced a plan from the old map tacked on the wall of the roads from the little town to the great city of Mendon. “I want to go there because the cathedral is there, and I want to see it, was his thought. He decided not to go home again, but, laughing aloud, he ran down the road. Poor lad! he had never tasted of the world and its freedom. He walked on all night, and the next morning he found himself in a strange country, or one, at least, new to him. By noon the sun beat down with such heat that he lay down behind a haystack and slept. After eating some bread and milk, which a farmer's wife gave him, he went on again, laughing and whistling, for he was free; nobody rebuked him for idleness; nobody made fun of him. He was happy, not bitter. The next day he ate little; he did ask at one farmhouse, but, being refused, his pride held him back. Toward night he came to the great city of Mendon. Suddenly a cloud came over his face. What was he to do? Poor boy! he had thought nothing of that. The noise of the cars, of the teams, of the crowds bewildered him; he did not know which way to turn, where to go. Suddenly he heard above all the din of the city the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. It must be the cathedral chimes. He raised his head to listen; the sound seemed to pierce him; he saw people going down a side street, and among them a priest. He followed, and came to an immense stone structure, and entered with the rest. Kneeling in the rear of the church, he prayed. Then he went out into the din of the city again. He walked along, his hands pushed deep into his pockets, his great blue eyes troubled, and gazed about him in wonder and anxiety. “I say, what’s the matter?” Looking up, Philippe saw a shabbily-dressed boy of about his own size, carrying a bundle of papers under his arm. “Oh, nothing much,” Philippe answered, and, fearing to be laughed at, he started on. “You looked sort ter skccrcd like and kind er troubled like.” Something in the frankness of his face made Philippe stop. “Do ycr know eny one here? What arc yer goin’ ter do?” “Oh, I don’t know. You see, I haven’t thought about that yet. I've only been thinking about getting here. “You’d better come with us fellers, then. Come on,” and, putting his hand on Philippe's shoulder, they went down several side streets and alleyways until they came to a little shanty. Philippe's new friend left him alone, only to re- turn in a few minutes with a bag of seedcakes and a broken pitcher filled with milk. “I'll have to leave yer now; the fellers will be home at ten. Here’s a paper to read,” and with this he was gone. Philippe ate the seedcakes, but, as he was tired out, lie was fast asleep when the three boys came whistling down the street. “He ain’t so worse,” spoke up he known as the “kid,” looking at the sleeping figure. “Of course he ain’t,” interposed Paul, Philippe’s rescuer, who, when the supper, such as it was, had been prepared, awoke Philippe. From this time a. strong friendship grew up between the boys and Philippe. A month later, Philippe, late one afternoon, stopped his call of “Papers, sir, papers!” when he heard the clanging of the fire engine as it came dashing down the street. It was about to turn the corner, when Philippe saw two little chil- dren start across the street. The frightened nurse-maid, from whom they had slipped away, stood on the edge of the sidewalk screaming. Philippe saw in an instant what was to be done. Throwing aside his papers, he ran toward—it was almost certain death. Yet there was one chance. He could not stand still and sec the two little figures trampled under the great hoofs of the horses. Running swiftly, and meanwhile bending low, he snatched the children in his arms. He could feel the hot breath of the panting horses on his check. He threw himself forward with all his strength, holding the two little figures at arm’s length. The people crowded on the sidewalk, silent, breathless, closed their eyes. The engine had dashed by; the two little children, unhurt, were cry- ing from fear, and were put in charge of their frightened nurse. Philippe was slowly raising himself from the ground. He appeared uninjured, but he put liis hand to his head, and seemed slightly dazed, then, smiling, he walked away, leaving the crowd shouting his praises to one another. Picking up his papers, he tried to sell them, but somehow he could not, so he gave it up. His mind was in a blur; he could not seem to think. He wandered on, and, coming to the cathedral, he went in. Kneeling, he tried to pray, but he could not remember any of the prayers. Finally, bowing his head, he said, “Oh, God, help me!” Then he thought he would go home. Later on Paul came home, and, finding him, tried to rouse him, but Philippe gazed at him with eyes having no sight in them. “Philippe, what’s the matter with yer?” “Oh, nothing, only my head, it feels------------” but his eyes closed and he slept. The “kid” came running in filled with the report of Philippe's bravery, but, seeing his white face on the bed, he stopped. “Hush, ‘kid run for the doc; he says it’s his head.” For three days and nights the boys took their turns at the sick boy's side, watching and caring for him as tenderly as a mother does for her child. On the fourth morning the three boys sat about the bed, patiently waiting. His delirious talks ceased; he seemed to be thinking. Suddenly turning toward Paul, his hands nervously clasping each other, “I've been thinking about it,” he said, “I think that I’ll go home. You see, I came away without telling my father. I only thought of myself. I didn’t think how they would feel. I somehow thought I was only a burden and of no use.” Never one word had Philippe said against his father or mother to the boys. “Perhaps they miss me. At any rate, I'm going back, fellers, and tell what a great time I’m having, and then, if they don't mind, I'll come back again, fellers. I like earning my own living, you know; it makes a feller feel free and inde- pendent. Oh, I'll be back, and then we will build the addition to the shanty, and we’ll------Won't it be fine, fellers? I think I’ll sleep, my head is tired, then we’ll talk some more.” The three boys remained gazing at the almost beau- tiful face on the pillow; they had no desire to sell their papers. The doctor came to the bedside and shook his head. Suddenly Paul looked at the other two. “He’s dead, fellers,” he gasped, and, burying his head on his arms, he sobbed like a child. The “kid” slipped out unnoticed, only to return with an armful of roses, the best that his hard-earned money could buy. “Here, Paul,” he whispered, and Paul put them in the arms of the little figure on the bed, one of the red IVY DAY ORATION R. PRESIDENT. In- structors. and Fel- low-Students and Classmates: It needs not tho vision of the seer to perceive that we stand, on this bright morning, not merely at tho ond of our school courso, but near a summit toward which for four years we have pursued a winding way. On the hilltop stands a veiled figure. Indistinct In all but outline, clad In flow- ing robes. It beckons us to approach, and In its shining hand holds out to us a gift; the glorious gift of opportunity. Never did opportu- nity represent so much, or open wide so many doors as for this, the class of 1903. To each of us it will present itself in a different manner, it is true; but to all of us Is offored a broad field, and many aids. Andrew Carneglo recently said that tho commercial world never offered such oppor- tunities to the ambitious young American as It does to-day. Foreign merchants look aghast at the encroachments American thrift is making within their territory. The Yankee inventor is no longer a syno- nym for somewhat erratic genius, but his energy is now known as American enter- prise. With each advance, whether Initiated here, or begun across the waters, come in- creased opportunities, more numerous open- ings for. and greater need of. the young people who in this bright June weather are pouring forth from our high schools to enter life's busy workshop. But for the best use of these openings, wo must possess certain qualifications. There will be no kind hand to guide us in the stern, practical world; wo must depend upon our own judgment and ability. The youth may well stand abashed in the pres- ence of his opportunities as he recognizes this fact. He may be forgiven if he falter- ingly asks. Have I the necessary qualifica- tions? Again the veiled figure lifts Its hand, and points far down the winding path by which the youth ascended. Indicating the many difllcultics which havo been overcomo In the Journey upward, and pointing to many a dangerous pass where tho guiding hand and tho word of advice were needed. Rho whispers. Have you brought nothing from all this? Classmates it must be that our four years’ training has dovolopcd In us some- what of the sterling clement which our op- portunities will demand, even though wo realize now that we may not havo improved them to the utmost. A fortunate, favored period has boon the four years of our course. Twenty years ago —almost within tho limits of our own life- time—no high school class could havo en- joyed the courses in art. science, and manual training that it has been our privilege to pursue. On tho other hand, no high school graduate could have gone forth, as several of our own classmates propose doing, to continue studies in a textile or normal art school, for neither then existed. Even the now famous Institute of Technology was still in the experimental stago. having graduated only eight men in 1880. The real thought of the moment for us. classmates, as we linger for a little with our sheltered school life behind, and boforo us tho wide, busy world, is the great thought of our duty. Hand in hand with opportunity is responsibility. It will little matter that our high school courso has been especially favored and fortunate, if wo. go- ing forth into tho world, do not tako with us the determination to work more earnestly; if. for all that has bcon ours in tho past, and for all to which wo now go forth, we do not resolve to live more nobly, more loyally, to weave some golden thread Into life’s tapestry. As we go forth, then, let it bo with re- newed resolve to embody in our lives tho spirit of these lines of Ralph Waldo Emer- son:— So nigh is grandeur to our dust. So near is God to man, When duty whispers low, ‘Thou must. Tho youth replies, T can.’ ’’ John M. McMilun. THE GOLDEN PASSPORT In ancient days of yore, as legend tells, Aeneas brave a longing had to rove To distant lands, the bright Elysian Fields. The Sibyl wise declared that he must find, Before his start upon the dangerous way, Upon a lofty tree that hidden grew Within a dark and pathless unknown wood, A golden twig. She said that he must use This yellow branch, this precious golden bough, As key and passport to that distant land. Must he, alone, within a dreary wood, Find one small twig, one tiny golden branch? Ah, no! the loving Venus sent to him Two snow-white doves to be his faithful guides. They led him through the long and winding path; They guided past the snares of devious ways, Until he found upon a lofty bough The untried passport to the land unknown. The priceless quest, the treasured golden key, And now we, too, are going, schoolmates mine, Out to a field as yet to us unknown; We now arc taking one advancing step Out from the path which we have lately trod. But we have here within our youthful grasp This bright young twig, this tiny golden key. We've traveled for some years this joyful road, We’ve had these faithful friends to watch and guide; And they have led us up to higher things, Up to the tree of knowledge, grand and bright, And from this tree we’ve plucked one gilded bough, The powerful key and passport to that land Where we shall find a store of noble thoughts, And many things to learn, and much to gain. We must not linger longer in these paths, And yet we shall not leave it all behind, For when we leave this dearly cherished spot, We'll take with us this key, this golden branch, To help us onward in the ways beyond. Ah, yes! ’tis time to seek another prize, ’Tis time to gain another golden twig, To travel forth into a broader path. But what a joy this radiant way has been 1 Oh, youthful friendships, dear and gladsome days, So bright and full of tender memories, Twine garlands 'round our fondly ling’ring hearts! And ever, in the many years to come, May we, with constant courage, glancing back, E'er bless the youthful days that we have spent Upon these pleasant, greatly honored heights, With guides to knowledge and to manly worth. And may we use this cherished golden branch In whatsoever paths where we may go, No matter in what ways our lots may fall, To gain the best from life that e'er we can; To search and find the true and highest things. ♦ So farewell, now, our ever faithful guides! And farewell now, beloved schoolmates mine! And farewell, too, oh choicest golden years! We evermore shall have sweet thoughts of you, We evermore shall feel your presence near, E’en though we be in far-off distant lands, In paths of life that branch away from here. For mem’ries that arc cherished never fade; Our tender thoughts of thee shall last for aye. May H. Baker, L., ’03. REVERIES Now that school is near its close, Our thoughts arc turned from books, And wander on to beach and boats, To lakes and shady nooks. And as we in the schoolroom sit, We almost feel the breeze, And hear the flapping of the sails Upon inviting seas. The little Freshman now perceives His verdure greener grows, The Sophomore tkinks with aching heart Of next year’s trials and woes. The Junior, like a peacock, Steps with majestic mien, For it is not forgotten, Next year he reigns supreme. Lastly comes the Senior, Who treads with stately grace, And now to him both one and all Will give the highest place. To him the world is opening wide, With treasures everywhere, And if his work with honor’s done, Success will be his share. And as the sweet girl graduate Those four years ponders o’er, We know she'd give most anything To live them all once more. Frances Frost, L., ’04. [Tune: “Abide With Me. ] 'Tis sad to part from all who’ve gathered here, Our teachers, friends, and our own classmates dear, Within our hearts what happy memories dwell! We find it hard to say the last farewell. Oh, may the knowledge gained within these walls, The inspiration of these classic halls, Help us, as on life’s journey we advance, To nobler deeds, our characters enhance. Our restless youth cries “Onward! Onward!” still, We long for Time our ideals to fulfill, Yet fain we would these happy hours prolong, But Time's relentless stream glides swiftly on. Though future years bring us grief and pain, One precious memory we shall e’er retain, These happy hours shall be without a peer, Oh, joy of youth! Oh, Alma Mater, dear! Carrie M. Frost, ’03. MR. WHITCOMB’S RECEPTION Thursday, June 4, Mr. and Mrs. C. T. C. Whitcomb tendered a reception to the members of the graduating class of the English High School at their home on Walnut street. The entire home was opened to the class, and all formalities were laid aside. Mr. and Mrs. Whitcomb received, assisted by Mr. Avery and Miss Merrill. During the evening the “Class History” was read by Miss Louise Dyer, the Historian, and many pleasant incidents were brought to memory by her account of the class of 1903. Later the Prophet, C. Louise Stickney, assisted by Lawrence Horton, conferred with a mysterious sibyl, and learned the future of the various members, with which they entertained the class. These were de- cidedly bright, and were received with much favor. After the prophecies, Herbert A. Currier, president of the class, presented Mr. and Mrs. Whitcomb with a handsome candelabra, as a remembrance of the class of 1903. During the evening a bountiful collation was served, brought to a close by songs and hearty cheers. The evening was NIGHT SONGS. IDST thou ever hear the night songs Sung within the trees. To swaying branches' measured time — The chant of leaves and breeze ? Fanned by cooling zephyrs, Wooed by Earth’s fair smile. Who would not gladly linger there To list and dream the while? Hark! and hear the music rising, Low, and crooning forth a sigh In a scale of weary nature, Wild and weird, but soon to die. Now it falls away to silence — Silence that is good ; Then a chord so soft comes blowing O'er the twilight-perfumed wood. And a melody that's thrilling Joins the song ; and lo! A gaily-crested songster opes His eyes, and carols: '•Oh. Tell me. gentle night-winds — Tell me of your songs: V here didst thou ever learn them. Such as wake the tree-top throngs 1 They are tunes, the day has taught us, The keys through which we blow In the day-time hours, we treasure 'Til the shadows longer grow. Then home, we blow to the tree-tops And cheer or sigh — Alack ! As the day has sped in our wand’rings, So we blow the echoes back. We blow across the roses' bed, They breathe a fragrant prayer, That gives a tender accent To the breeze, that hovers there. We hesitate a second's length Beside a blighted flower, That weeps for its lost beauty — That beauty of an hour. We sweep around the fern glades. They wave and nod and bend. And a happy, secret message To the tree-tops, they would send. We scatter faded petals, too. And hurry them away, To bury them forever From kindly light of day. We touch a grave, that's newly made, And catch a solemn air. i. We find a laughing child at play. And stir her golden hair. No wonder that some sorrow creeps Within our songs at night; No wonder that some joy resounds To make the shadow light. Bertha Phillips Marvel. t lilt A CHARACTER SKETCH Consider the real estate agent. How he toilcth with the reluctant renter and spinneth the wondrous tale. How he telleth the man that the house is just what he wanteth; that it is hot in winter and cold in summer. That it hath perfect ventilation; even so that it should be used as a sanitarium. And the man renteth the house; for he is a foolish man, and believeth all that is told unto him. Yea, he is a good thing and a cinch; and he causeth the rental agent to smile in his sleeve even unto the elbow thereof. And the man findeth that the rental agent had been sore confused when he spake of the hotness of the house in winter and the coldness of the house in summer. For, verily, in winter it is colder than the smile of the maiden who saith, “I will be a sister unto you.” And in summer it is II e unto a hothouse in winter. But it is ventilated, O yea! so that the North wind cometh into the parlor, and bringeth his friends and holdeth a dance. And when the man goeth unto the agent and ask- ’ eth for repairs, the agent saith, ‘‘Verily, I will have a man there this afternoon.” And the man cometh week after next and ringeth the doorbell, and goeth away again, and saith: “Lo, I came unto ye with my tools and ye were not at home; of a surety did I pound upon the door with the swiftness and strength of him who caresseth the bass drum in the German band.” Yet again the man goeth unto the agent; but in no wise can the agent be moved hurriedly or with swiftness in the matter of repairs. But in no wise can the agent get a move on? Yea, verily, and most assuredly. When rent day cometh around, he goeth unto the man with the speed like unto the British army leaving South Africa. Consider the real estate agent, and gather unto thyself a knowledge of his kind, and take heed. A. Storie Telleur, E., ’03.

The year has flitted away all too quickly. June seemed far away when, full of hope for the success of this volume, and, we are willing now to admit, with some secret misgivings, also, we put our first number on sale; but now, looking backward, we wonder where the hours have gone. In leaving, we would say that this year’s work has inspired in us an undying interest in the paper. As it continues to advance, we shall watch it with the most genuine pleasure. Dear Radiator, good-by. Staffs may come and staffs may go, but thou goest on forever. May prosperity ever smile blithely upon thee. Our manager pursuing ads. following officers were elected to take charge of next year's Radiator: Editor- in-chief, C. Sherwood Ricker, L., ’04; business manager, Lawrence Mitchell, E., '04; associate editor, Miss Katheryne L. Nolan, E., '04; assistant manager, Thomas P Durcll, L., '05; sporting editor, Warren G. Lawson, L., '04; treas- urer, C. G. Bean, E., '04. Mr. Ricker has written many clever stories for the Radiator, and we feel confident that he is amply capable of discharging the editorial duties of the paper. Mr. Mitchell has already had some experience by assisting this year’s staff in re- gard to the business management. We congratulate the school upon this elec- tion, as much is to be expected from a staff so well made up. X X X I� . X X HIS year’s officers of the Radiator will enter the world as follows: Editor-in-Chief McMillin, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Asso- ciate Editor Miss Jones, Radcliffe; Manager Chickering, Harvard; Miss Carle- ton, Radcliffe; Fitzgerald, Harvard. Philbrick will enter the commercial world. The other members of the staff do not graduate this year. X X X X X X X QUR thanks are due to Miss Merrill and Miss Pratt for their kind assistance to us during the year. Each staff remains only long enough to get experience, and if it were not for the help that each new set of amateurs obtains from the teachers, success would be impossible. Also, we acknowledge our indebtedness- to Mr. Harry Jones, teacher of drawing in the English School, for his untiring efforts to beautify the paper. In Clyde Scott’s hard work we see a brilliant suc- cess in embryo. Miss Belle Wiswell drew the lettering for the June cover. We are grateful to Mr. Kulz, of the Boston Post, for his drawing in this number. To all the school we would express our appreciation for the support they have given us during the year. X X X X X X X ENIORS, the last year in school has been the most interesting. We long looked forward to being the graduating class; but were we not happier in anticipation than we are in realization? How soon—alas! too soon—have we become men and women! The associations of four years are to be broken up, and each graduate is saying to himself, “Whither—whither?” For each of you, wherever succeeding years may take you, the Radiator wishes prosperity and plenty. There is wisdom summed up in the class mottoes, there are precepts to be followed in the class poems, but greatest of all that we have to rely upon is our training. Let us launch into the world with this equipment, and endeavor to make it bet- ter for our having been in it. Staff artist at work.

Seniors seen making frantic efforts to divide forty history texts among 150 students. Mr. W.— How now, what’s this, whence all this noise and uproar? Methought I heard a clatter of hoofs, or worse, An armed revolution! Speak, I say! Why all this bustling and pulling hair, my friends? Come, out with it, and briefly, too! Hinckley! hold a moment where you stand, Why, sir, would you tear that book in twain? And Tift—yes, you—don’t pull poor Sanborn’s coat off. Now peace a moment while I make inquiries, For I will know the cause of this confusion. Some of you boys explain yourselves right now, Lest there come forth to-day a regulation, Making difficulty. Potter (sotto voce).— Sanborn, 'twill do no good for you to squeal, For if you do so, then twist I your ear, And make your howling similar to that Which a diminutive swine beneath a fence Produces. Give me that book, or I will do These things, and some things else, perhaps. Sanborn.— Ouch! I pray you, man, to please break off; Let go that ear, I say; in faith, my friend, The thing’s not nailed, and might, perchance, come loose. Now I did have this book before you came, And I shall have it after you arc gone, For though you’re built of muscle and brawn, my boy, There are other things that count; I had it first. So I will just retain it—gangway, there! Potter.— Nay, just wait a moment, please, I pray you, For I have still this ear, you know. But, sir, This much I’ll do for you, I will be fair, Potter. Cochrane. Horton. I have a proposition, sir; ’tis this: Now you may take this ear where'er you go, And keep it all your days, and it may be A resting place for all things sour and sweet That care to stop there while on earth you dwell. This ear that Nature gave you, you may keep, If you surrender me that copy of Bryce, Otherwise, I twist and screw it thus-- Sanborn.— Ouch! Murder! Let go that ear, I say, The line is busy, please ring off. Polsey (sf.).— Le’go, le’go. Cochrane, give me that book, For I am ’way behind, you know—of course, And all my notes must written be to-night. If you need some persuader, my good friend, Just look at what I hold within my palm, Mark carefully its shape and build, and know Its name is plain—it's simply called a hat pin, And it's mission in life is boring holes—thus--- Cochrane.— Peace, peace, let us have peace, Polsey! Thought you I had to have an object lesson? And, as you pluck'd your implement away, Mark how the blood of Cochrane followed it, As rushing out of doors to be resolved If hat pins so unkindly knocked or no. Polsey (largo).— 0 piteous spectacle! Mr. W. (presto).— Well, do you boys think I’ll wait all day? 1 want an explanation of this fray. Horton.— Good Freund, for friendship's sake, forbear, I pray, To take the scalp off with the hair—don't do it, For if you did, my brains might rattle out; Oh, what a rattle were there, my countrymen, Then cerebrum and cerebellum rattle, While from below Medulla Oblongata Calls from his depths to the other two just gone, And says, “When shall we three meet again?” Well, wouldn’t it be too bad! But I can’t help it, I've got to read a hundred pages, Horton, And bum the midnight oil in gallons now, So give me that book, I say, I cannot wait— Or else I’ll take some more of your chcveux.

Tucker.— Your most Exalted Excellency should be Informed the cause of all this turmoil here. 'Tis briefly put; the truth, my liege, is this: We’ve had so much of references assigned, That we must use these strenuous measures To get our lessons—sad it is, but true. Mr. W.— Well, is that all? I’ll put a stop to that, I'll ask the city fathers to provide More books—I’ll have this difficulty righted; Now, lay down your arms, and peacefully Return you to your homes—I'll look about And have some things adjusted.

Pretty work, Hodg.; keep it up. And now we hear that Edmund Burke had four objections to the use of “Force ’ Herbert Class President, '03. A few things the class of 1903 have originated and made a success of:— Class dance for three years; oratorio; class stationery; baking bread. We have also had a baseball captain for two years, the editor of the Radiator, and members on the-baseball, football, hockey, and track teams. Suggestion for a class motto: “Ain't we glad we’re through?” Where some of us are going next year: McMillin, Manning, Sanborn, Pot- ter, Freund, Tech; Currier, Lowell Textile School; Tift, Brown; Cochrane, Tarbell, Dartmouth; Lowell, kindergarten; Horton, Harvard; Burton, Babbitt, Tufts. Tucker was recently seen diligently perusing “First Steps for the Little Ones.” The chemistry class once made some bread, And all who ate it had a terrible head; A lot was sold to the city next day. To use as paving on the new highway. C. L. S. In severing his connection with the Radiator, the editor wishes to thank those who have helped him to make life unpleasant for his classmates. Also to add that all jokes were intended in the spirit of fun only, and he trusts no offense has been taken. Lastly, receive his thanks for the pleasure derived from filling this space at the expense of others. L. H. Steele, Class Editor, '03. What do you think Burton is doing now? Paperhanging! Isn’t that the limit? Some recent happenings of note:— Ames has a hair cut (just one). Cassidy had his English lesson. Freund didn't fall down all day. McMillin had a shave. Philbrick didn’t speak to a girl one whole recess. Manning was seen without Woodbridge. And now, acccording to Mr. Earle, we have sulphur in our hair. What a wonderful collection of various things, useful and otherwise, human beings are! Any one who was not pleased with his destiny can have the same altered entirely to his satisfaction by applying to either of the class prophets. Room 27; office hours, 8.30 to 1.30. We close Saturdays at 12. Chaffee (translating French')—“Je vais passer une partic.” “I am going to a party.” He must have imagined the Junior lawn party which did not materialize. Miss Stickney and Mr. Steele were the E., '03, prophets, Miss Carrie M. Frost was odist, Miss Beatrice Hodges, poet, and Miss Louise Dyer, historian. Dunham, of III.

'04. Sophomores, you are about to become Juniors. Now see if you hold the high standing of that class as those before you have done. According to M--------, the pulse is in the end of the fingers. Two prominent members of our class are to be married soon. The lumber for their home is already picked out. Miss B—ne (translating French)—“The mole-catcher before the table eat- ing with his small gray eyes.” The “Waffle Man” has returned once more. According to Brigham, “L’Allegro went to the window and heard the cocks • crowing and the hens walking in the barnyard.” Miss C-------(in history)—“Has the king the right to dissolve the prime minister?” Eustis says there is no difference between “steeped” and “boiled.” Ellis says that Apollo is one of the nine muses. Where is Weldon’s “block”? It was lost. Miss Dyer, Historian, 03. English F has lately drawn up “Articles of Agreement” to get their lessons.

Class organization: President, J. Albert Wilson; vice-president, J. Edward Frost; secretary', Edward J. Fallen; treasurer, Roland W. Dunham; editor, Lawrence Mitchell; Radiator representatives, Wilson, Bean, and Miss Nolan. The editor wishes to thank those who have given him their hearty support during the year. Many members of our class will be very sorry to learn of the death of one of our former classmates, Thomas J. Scannel. The Juniors defeated the Seniors at baseball, 14-13. This should settle the athletic supremacy of the two classes. Harold Currier, Class Editor. '05. '05. Class organization: President, Joseph Whitaker; vice-president, Mary Ed- mands; secretary, Edna Gordon; treasurer, Edwin Weaver. Our former classmate, “Dick” Libbey, has been down on a short visit before leaving for Mexico. Thirteen persons sat down at the F. B. F. dinner.

How about the five- minute period after school? It was too bad the whole school couldn't have heard the Emerson exercises by Division A. First Smith is found with the large dictionary in his desk, watching for a chance to swallow it, and next a girl’s rubber was found there. Anything else coming? Leonard Libbey has honored this class by contributing to two Boston news- papers both news and stories. '06. Class organization: President, Alfred L.

One of the girls wrote a theme on “The Public Telephone.” We wonder if she has had experience. Teacher—“Who can define a polygon?” K-------“A dead parrot.” How could Division A, of the Normal class, enjoy their bird walk without having Gow as informer? “Why are pianos noble characters?” “Because they are grand, upright, and square.” D-------, of I.

My dear Baker: I went to the baseball concert last night, and the temptation to tell you all about it is simply irresistible. Old man, you don’t know what you missed; the thing was exquisite. It was managed by Harold Baldwin, you know, and he did it well. The Sigma Delta crowd discoursed sweet music, under the direction of George Cohen, and there were numerous pretty accompanists for the soloists. The S. T. D. Club led off, rep- resenting a negro performance. I heard one of the girls behind me say they looked better that way. Then Miss Bragdon sang a solo. It was heavenly, my boy. Currier, as a member from the rural parts, next appeared. You should have seen the girls rubber. The O rien Club favored us with some music. James Nichols creditably represented the A. F. Frat. Then came a neat act by the F. B. F. Club, in which Billy Denvir did one of the neatest little stunts I ever saw. He certainly had the girls’ attention all right. Isn’t it too bad we aren’t all clever? Clyde Scott appeared next, and drew pic- tures faster than they could be hung up. Say, that fellow is a wizard. He will write his name high enough for all the folks to read it some day. Fairbanks and Howland came in here and played on the banjo. I never ap- preciated a banjo until that night, but I did then. Grover was next on the programme, and gave us a monologue. The grand finale of the whole affair was the Japanese wedding by Die Deutsche Gesellschaft. It was a fitting climax. Those girls moved about with a grace that was a- yjr charming, and they won much richly- carne( applause. It ended with a solo by Miss Hodges. You remember her, | don’t you? Well, sir, the whole affair was a supreme success. But I’ll give you more details later. Hastily yours, Buck Shot. Nilos. Niles.— Farrar.— McCrossan.

'Tis come to pass That we must cease to be a class. Nineteen-Three will no longer be Aught but a treasured memory. The time is come to say farewell To the dear old school we love so well, To classmates, teachers,—lessons, too,— Terrible lessons we never knew. It's a sad good-by we bid to thee. Beloved class of Nineteen-Three. William Jennings. Class President. ‘03. Our race is run; the goal is won, And each one's sorry the task is done. For the time is come when we must part, And each, with fresh-born zeal in his heart, Betake himself without delay Along his rut in Life's highway. Class organization: President, William Jennings; vice-president, Miss May Baker; secretary, Miss Edna P. Jones; treasurer, Alfred W. Dickinson; editor, Edwin P. Fitzgerald. It looks natural to see '03 so well represented on the High School baseball team. The class has always been conspicuous in all branches of athletics. We have four live social organizations in the class: Phi Delta Fraternity, Phi Alpha Sorority, Somerville Sorosis Society, and the German Club. “He’s little, but O my! —Niles. In case of a change in your residence, kindly inform the secretary of such change. It will make it vastly easier in case of future class reunions. Soiree committee: Miss Woodbridge, Alfred W. Dickinson, Edwin P. Fitzgerald. And now we all realize the stern truth that “Tempus fugit. E. P. Fitzgerald, Class Editor, '03. P. A. Harrison, Class President, ’04. Now aren’t you sorry you didn't do something funny enough to get your name in the Radiator? 1903 can be described properly only by superlatives. Let it be ever thus. '04. SENIORS-ELECT! We recently noticed in a newspaper an editorial to the effect that “little” boys would be glad that June was near and would soon be over. This shouldn’t be restricted to little boys. “Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.” Hence, dear teachers, if you are troubled by too much noise in your room, pump out the air. P-----ps will be given a chance to apologize for his story. He says the incident is not a part of his biography; but, then, he can't be expected to com- mit himself. Next year Stevens expects to grace these pages with his Auto-biography. N. B.—Permission to laugh may be obtained from the desk. Several of our illustrious class have started to compose impromptu poems on “The Flag on Prospect Hill. One got as far as:— “Ah, Quirites, get wise and pipe The Flag on Prospect Hill.” No flowers—’04 will not compete. C. S. Ricker, Class Editor. '04. A POINTER. There was a young fellow quite smart in Greek, In dress he was foppish and tony; The latter was due to his being a freak, The former was due to his pony. Class officers for the past year were: President, Percy Harrison; vice- president, Boyle; secretary, Miss Preston; treasurer, Miss Foster; class editor, C. S. Ricker; Radiator representatives, Lawson, Getchell, and Leavitt. The long vacation is at hand, With all its hopes and fears; It does not bring the unmixed joy It did in other years. Our Greek is very doubtful, And our Latin’s hopeless, too, While history and algebra Both make us feel quite blue. For as vacation comes apace, With thoughts of idle play, Examinations claim our thoughts, And make our hair turn gray. Then physics is our only hope, The thought moves us to tears; Vacation does not bring the joys It did in other years. '05. Our chance is gone, we study now; Are to our books devoted. We weep and cry, and wonder why We didn’t get promoted. “And what is so rare as a day in June?” Who is in the doubtful list? “Almost all filled their ‘pitchers’ with wine.” No wonder they didn’t play ball. Next year we will be Juniors, And show them we're alive, For there’s nothing that’s the matter With the class of ’05. Last year three flights we had to climb To reach our destination, And now we have to climb but one, And arrive quickly at our station. As Juniors, we must climb again, Just as we did of yore; For then our seats again will be Upon the topmost floor. So near and yet so far—vacation. We rise again, this time to Juniors. '06, keep up the reputation of the present Sophomore class 1 El------r does not seem to understand that the Dutch are not Germans. A. T. Soule, Class Editor, ’05. The editor wishes to thank the three members who contributed class notes this year. Farewell, Seniors! We wish you all good luck. The year ends with the following class officers: President, Robert Burns; secretary, Miss Mulliken; treasurer, Allen E. Elliott. Our class is not only the largest Sophomore class that was ever in the Latin School, but we have the first five period French class. Haflford is again nobly representing the class on the diamond. D------(in Latin)—“The sea flows into the Rhine.” We wish you all a happy vacation. We are very sorry to learn that Cameron has left school. '06. Our class motto for next year: “Do unto others as you have been done by.” Our class president, A. R. Corwin, is traveling in Europe, where he intends to spend about two months. We wish him a very pleasant time. Kelley is now learning the “Prelude” of the Constitution. Captain Cuddy is doing fine work with the track team. You should hear Mr. M----------’s stories of the “wild and woolly West.” They fairly make your hair stand on end. We are glad to see Burns back at school again. The members of the class of '03 have our good wishes. What would the square root of Bowlby look like? “And what is so rare as a day in June?” Small Boy—“A day when the no-school bell rings.” R. A. Burns, Class President, '05. diator I9 J H. S. Sanborn, Cla'sa Editor. ’06. A. R. Corwin. Class President, ’06. Teacher What did Trajan do to the Roman empire?” Miss S-------“He stretched it.” Division 3 should have a change once in a while, and not have Lamb every day. Why does Division 1 move so slowly? Because it has a bad “Carr” and a slight ‘'Delay.” Good-by to the “Attic” in a few days. The editor wishes to thank the class for the number of notes handed him during the year. TEN LITTLE FRESHMEN. Ten little Freshmen standing in a line, The Sophomores hazed one, and then there were nine; Nine little Freshmen sitting up late, One died of overwork, and then there were eight; Eight little Freshmen out for the “eleven,” One really made the team, and then there were but seven; Seven little Freshmen in school at tricks, An hour after school for one, that left but six; Six little Freshmen trying to keep alive, A timid one got homesick, then there were five; Five little Freshmen over their books did pore, One was called to recite, leaving only four. Four little Freshmen hoping to be free, Still another left school, and then there were three; Three little Freshmen feeling very blue, One went into a grocery store, and then there were two. Two little Freshmen at recess having fun, One died a-laughing, and that left but one; One little Freshman standing all alone Wore off his greenish tinge, and then there were none. Moral: “Everything comes to him who waits.” MR. BAXTER’S RECEPTION On May 14 Mr. and Mrs. Baxter entertained the class of '03 at their home. The first part of the evening was spent in looking over the class pictures of many years previous, and in pleasant chats, in which pupils and teachers joined. Then a very bounteous collation was served, after which Mr. Fitzgerald played at the piano, and was followed by Miss Marion Farrar, who sang a charming song. The class history, written by Miss Edith G. Carleton and Charles E. Nichols, was read by the former; the class poem was read by the author, Miss May H. Baker, after which the class prophecies, written by Miss Almira F. Leavitt and Edwin P. Fitzgerald, were read by the former. The class president, William Jennings, in behalf of the members of the class, thanked Mr. Baxter for his kind efforts in their behalf, and presented him with an edition of Ralph Waldo Emerson's works. Mr. Baxter thanked the class, and spoke of the appropriate- ness of the gift. The rest of the evening was spent in singing by the entire class, after which the happy party dispersed. Bans le flnon e The Phi Delta Fraternity, which for three years has been so closely connected with S. L. S., '03, will make its adieu to the school in June, and leave behind a record which will stand for some time. Since its organization, the colors of the club have been conspicuous in all branches of athletics, and the basket ball team has earned a reputation of the highest order. For three years the yellow and black has won the interclass and city basket ball championships, and is acknowledged to be one of the fastest school teams in New England. Most of the men will enter Harvard in the fall, and the team will in all probability organize next year. Despite pressure brought to bear, the members have refused to establish chapters of the fraternity in the school, and have retained the original member- ship throughout. The Oajaca is the most happy-go-lucky club of the English School. They organized in the spring of 1902 with eight members of the class of 1903. Since then two others have been admitted. Of its many queer customs and rules, there is one fixed and inviolable: “No girls!” This rule is observed, and no girl ever beheld the Oajaca Club in session. Some claim that the exclusion of the girls is the secret of its great success; others claim that its name wins re- nown. Besides having several members on the executive committee of the Athletic Association, it has the manager of the track team, the sporting editor of the Radiator, the president, secretary, and class editor of the Senior class. A majority of the boys enter college next fall. Its membership consists of the following: “Brutus” Potter, “Prophet” Steele, “Cupid” Freund, “Johnny” Tarbell, “Fat” Sanborn, “Cassius” Cochrane, “Niny” Countway, “Tobey” Cur- rier, “Phil” Philbrick, “Hank” Dix; honorary, James B. McCoy, of Chicago. Phi Alpha! the sole feminine fraternity of S. L. S.! Five years has the Phi Alpha lived, and the prospects are that it will continue as long as our High School itself. At the end of each school year the Senior Phi Alphas take in six Juniors girls to succeed them. Several pleasant social functions have been given by the club, including a luncheon, and in April a club dance. The '03 members arc: Lucy A. Gow, Beatrice R. Robertson (secretary), Edna Pollard Jones, Edith Gordon Carleton (treasurer), Marion Frances Orne, Alma Drayton Stone (president). The '04 members are: Blanche Preston, Lura Elliott, Helen Nichols, May Davis, Frances Frost, Grace Jouett. 6.O.B. fl.T. The E. O. B. Club, organized November 6, 1902, consists of eight young ladies from both the Latin and English High Schools. The club has had a very successful year, many social times being enjoyed at the homes of the different members. The club’s event of the winter was a gentlemen's night, held at Mrs. Howard’s private academy. The members are as follows: The Misses Margaret Woodbury, Grace Kendall, Alice Fuller, Hazel Trueman, Irma Christopher, Louise Lcyland, Emma Prouty, and Muriel Trueman. The Sigma Delta Fraternity, of Latin, '04, has inscribed the records of another successful year on its annals. The club meetings were held, as usual, bi- weekly, at the houses of the different members. A ladies’ night was held at Mrs. Howard’s, Mrs. Ricker, Mrs. Pierson, and Mrs. Wyman acting as matrons of the affair. Through the efforts of the club, an orchestra was formed for the baseball concert, consisting of material chosen from the two schools. The officers are: President, Warren Lawson; vice-president, Sherwood Ricker; treasurer, Walter Stevens; and secretary, Ernest Moore. The S. T. D. was the first club to be organized in the class of 1904 of the English School. The first meeting was held in the early part of 1901, and at this time the club was composed of twelve members. Since then four new members have been admitted. During its two years of existence it has held regu- lar meetings at the homes of its members; it has had two ladies' nights, a club dance, and a successful basket ball team. Some of the members have figured in High School athletics, including football, baseball, track team, basket ball, and hockey. The present membership includes: J. Albert Wilson, president; J. Edward Frost, vice-president; Ralph A. Hight, secretary-treasurer; Harold M. Allen, William Barton, Gerard C. Bean, Harry S. Chandler, Arthur H. Duhig, Roland W. Dunham, Warren B. Farnum, Edward J. Fallen, Lawrence Mitchell, Lewis H. Remick, Gardner W. Stacy, Clarence Woodworth, and Arthur M. Russell, who is an honorary member. The A. F. Fraternity has enjoyed its last meeting for this term, after a very successful year. The “Frat” was organized in October, 1902. The first impor- tant business was the election of the officers who are now serving. The club, so- cially, has been very successful. Probably the most important social function was the ladies’ night, held in the winter at Flemming Hall. The club will be reorganized again next fall, and hopes to enjoy an even more successful season. The members are: Leo Haf- ford, president, Arthur T. Soule, secretary and treasurer, Robert A. Burns, Allen E. Elliott, Edgar F. Scwall, James Nichols, James E. Beard. idiator I IK- I9°J •V b On January 6, 1902, eight young ladies of E. H. S., '04, organized the secret society known as the L. E. D. Club. Besides the charter members, two have recently been initiated. Since its organization, several social events have taken place. The present officers are: President, Ethel M. Snow; vice-president, Alveda F. Greenwood; secretary, Mary E. Dolbear; treasurer, Helen L. Hatch. The Amitie Club was organized in March, 1902, for social purposes only. At a recent meeting, it was unanimously voted to continue the club after graduation. The present officers are: President, George J. Cummings; vice-president, John E. Cassidy; secretary, J. Howard Mohler; treasurer, William Knecland; sergeant-at-arms, George Barton. Der Treue Verein, a German club of Latin, '05, girls, was organized Octo- ber 29, 1902. They hold monthly meetings at the homes of the members, and have very good times. They held a very successful gentlemen’s night on Janu- ary 27, 1903, at the home of Mrs. Eastaman, 111 Summer street, and arc expect- ing to have a picnic some time in June. The members are: Edith Marshall (president), Marion Bunker (vice- president), May Sargent (secretary), Ruth Butters (treasurer), Mamie Connor, Alice Elliott, Fidela Holm, Jennie Dunham, Gertrude Merrill, Emma Davis, Avis Hall, and Alice Cullin. The Lambda Delta Guama is one of the latest additions to the clubs of the English School, it taking the form of a canoe club. The membership consists of Harold Currier, president, Lawrence Gray, treasurer, Frank Bradford, and Howard Crosby. Although the membership is small, the club owns a seven- teen-foot Robertson canoe, with furnishings, kept at Riverview, on the classic Charles. A pleasant canoeing season is expected by the lucky four. Among the many Sophomore clubs formed this year is the Theta Epsilon. As this club is one of the largest, whatever efforts it has made have been at- tended by success. Among the events of the season was the gentlemen's night, which was creditably mentioned in the January Radiatok. The members arc as follows: Gertrude E. Baxter, president; Harriet E. , Robinson, vice-president; Alice M. Chadwick, secretary; Ethel M. Cole, treas- urer ; Ruth Dodge, Bertha D. Sias, Ruth L. Whitman, M. Louise Thiery, Mary T. McCarthy, Hazel Rugg, E. Louise Kittredge, Ellen Baker, Cara E. Patten, and Mr. Hosmer. The Entre Nous Club is made up as follows: President, T. C. Edwards; secretary and treasurer, R. G. Woodbridge; Charles Manning, F. L. Gray, C. W. Nangle, Harry Fallis, Lawrence Horton, Harold Currier, L. A. Coles, R. A. Me- serve. The club has been very active during the year. Fortnightly meetings have been held, and the numerous ladies’ nights much enjoyed. Our basket ball team was composed of Nangle (Capt.), Gray, Countway, Manning, Woodbridge, Edwards, and Currier. Our track team is made up of Gray (Capt.), Nangle, Currier, and Horton. A picnic was held Memorial Day at Silver Lake. During the morning athletic games were enjoyed. Some men are born great. Others have greatness thrust upon them. Others are in the Entre Nous Club, S. E. H. S., ’03. A secret club has recently been organized, and is known as the M. T. S. At the election of officers, the following were chosen: President, Miss Mabel C. Peterson; secretary, Miss Bertha G. Hayward; treasurer, Miss Flora B. Smith. A flower party will be given by the club “the night before the Fourth,” at the mx-$- PHI DELTA BASKET BALL TEAM. home of the president. There are only a few, but don’t worry, there’ll be more before '05 comes. The first club of young ladies to be formed in the class of English, ’04, was the B. C. S. it has just closed its second successful season, in which it has given several •gentlemen’s nights, and other entertainments of various kinds. The present organization is: President, Miss Russell; vice-president, Miss Phinney; treasurer, Miss Caldwell; secretary, Miss Emerson. Other members are: The Misses Nolan, Stevenson, Hegan, LeCour, Moulton, Dil- lon, Priestly, and Downs. The D.-T. Club was organized by eight Junior girls of the Latin School. 1 he chief event of the season was the gentlemen’s night, given at the home of Miss Grace Jouett. The members consist of the Misses Helen Nichols, Marion Cousens, Carrie Jarvis, Hattie Bailey, Grace Jouett, Cecilia Doe, Grace Harding, and Blanche Preston. The U. S. Club has spent a pleasant and profitable winter working for the Floating Hospital. The meetings have been held every two weeks at the homes of the different members. Besides having a good time, the members of the club have done much useful work. The Giueck Auf Verein of the Latin High, ’03, has held its regular meet- ings at the homes of the members. One new member, Miss Hallett, passed through the initiation successfully. An entertainment and dance was given in Flemming Hall to about fiftyl friends of the club. The entertainment consisted of piano, vocal, and cornet solos, also readings and dialogues. The young ladies of German IV. of the Latin High Sophomore class formed a club last fall for the purpose of uniting the interests of the class, and of aiding each member to speak German by devoting half an hour at each meeting to German conversation. It has had eleven meetings during the winter. The club has nine members, and will renew their meetings, if possible, next fall. The members are: President, Ethel L. Mulliken; vice-president, Florence L. Leonard; secretary and treasurer, Edith F. Munroe; Lilly M. Lunt, M. Myrtle Lunt, Myrtle Merrill, Josephine O’Riley, Florence Sanders, Florence Scott. In the middle of the winter this club of five girls was formed. The members are: President, Florence Leonard; secretary and treasurer, Ethel Mulliken; Mamie Connor, Bessie Connor, Ruth Whitman, Harriet Robinson, Hazel Rugg, Bertha Sias. During the year the members of the W. L. S. Club have met eight times for social afternoons, all of which have been very enjoyable. At present plans are being discussed for using the money now in the treasury for the benefit of some institution. The club has now fifteen members. On Monday evening, May 18, the F. B. Fraternity of the ’05 class of the E. H. S. assembled at the American House for a dinner. Toasts were enjoyed and speeches called for. The following officers were elected for the coming sea- son: President, Harold R. Currier; vice-president, “Tom Commins; secretary and treasurer, Joseph Whitaker. Those present were Harold Currier, Tom Commins, Joe Whitaker, Ernest Ware, Francis Rice, Charles Parks, Vernon Willey, Winthrop Sears, Robert Thayer, William Curran, Wilson, Arthur Drake, and Sam Barker. iil.LS. T.B. 888818 988 9 The S. O. M. Club was organized in September, 1902, being es- tablished by the charter members: Clyde E. Scott, Leonard W. Libbey, Frank R. Bradford, Laurin W. Waldron, and Frank J. Murphy. The first initiation was that of Edwin H. Weaver, followed by Arthur J. Mullen, Samuel II. Dolbear, Frederick Spike, and Albert S. Snow. Although the club was not organized for social purposes, a theatre party at the Tremont, the establishment of tbe first annual supper, and the lawn party at the home of Frank R. Bradford have figured among the social events of its history during the past year. The S. O. M. Club has been prominent in Radiator work, four of the nine covers having been designed by members. Several stories and poems have also been contributed. At the baseball concert, the club was represented by the president, Clyde E. Scott, as lightning sketch artist, and by Bradford and Dolbear in the Sigma Delta orchestra. Percy G. Burns and George F. Trenholm have been taken in as pledged members, to be initiated in September of the coming school year. The membership of twelve consists of the following: Clyde E. Scott (presi- dent), Frank J. Murphy (vice-president), Laurin W. Waldron (secretary and treasurer), Frank R. Bradford, Leonard W. Libbey, Edwin H. Weaver, Arthur J. Mullen, Samuel Dolbear, Frederick Spike, Albert S. Snow; and Percy G. Burns and George F. Trenholm, pledged. The S. O. M. Club was the first club organized which consisted of English School Sophomores. The T. H. D. Club, consisting of eighteen members of the English High, class of 1905, held its last meeting at the home of Miss Marion Prichard, Walnut street. The officers of this club are: President, Miss Ethel Brown; vice- president, Miss Mildred Allen; secretary, Miss Hazel Trueman. The club looks forward to its Junior year with much anticipation. LATIN SENIORS ENTERTAINED During the February vacation Miss Almira F. Leavitt entertained the class of ’03 of the Latin School in a royal style. Everybody was obliged to go repre- senting a city, and much merriment was caused by some of the representations. Our hard-working business manager came, attired in his best, representing Butte, Montana. Refreshments were served and enjoyed by all. After this all joined in a game, new to most of the class. Mr. Baxter and Mr. Hosmcr spent the evening with the class. They were both asked to speak, and Mr. Jennings, the class president, was obliged to follow suit. Mr. Fitzgerald was induced to play at the piano, after which he was presented, in jest, with a calla lily, where- upon he rose, joining in the fun, and thanked the audience for its appreciation. diator I IK.

Somerville visited Southboro May 9, and defeated St. Mark’s easily by a score of 1G to 2. The team played gilt-edge ball throughout, and touched Fay, the opposing pitcher, for sixteen hits. Hafford was in the box for Somerville, and had fine control, striking out twelve of the opposing batters. Our team ran the bases with rare skill and speed, stealing sixteen cushions in all. That but two bases were stolen by St. Mark’s speaks well for Goode’s wing. The features of the game were a fine catch of a long drive by McCall, of St. Mark’s, and the bat- ting of Hafford and Goode, of Somerville. GROTON, IT; SOMERVILLE, 11. May 13 Somerville was royally entertained by the Groton School at Groton. The baseball team took a decided slump, and pjayed like a team of novices. Tift started in to twirl for Somerville, and his curves were bumped freely. Neverthe- less, the support he received was enough to rattle any pitcher. Hafford relieved Tift in the seventh, and struck out five men in three innings. The feature of the game was the playing of Crocker, right field, for Groton. He had eight put-outs, four hits, and no errors. SOMERVILLE, 20; MEDFORD, 1. May 25 the strong Medford High School team visited Somerville, and went home badly defeated, and witji the reputation of being poor sportsmen. Cram, Medford’s star twirler, was in the box for the visitors, but our team pounded his curves so hard that he was sent to the “stable,” and Tyron, his suc- cessor fared little better. The features of the game were the playing of Blair and the batting of Goode. The game was delayed at several stages of the game by needless and unsuc- cessful protests on the part of the Medford team. Such protesting should be avoided by any team, for, besides delaying the game, a team gains the reputation of being quitters. A. W. Dickinson, President Athletic Asso. SOMERVILLE, 15; R. M. T. S., 3. In our first league game with Training School we rather had a walk-over. Beckett was found for fifteen hits, while but six hits were made off Hafford, who burned them over with such speed that ten batters fanned the air. We started in the first. Blair went out on a foul, Mulloney drew a pass, stole second, and went to third on Hafford’s sacrifice, scoring on Tift’s double. Dick- inson tripled, scoring Tift. Cuddy hit safely, and Hodgdon got his base on an error, but was forced by Doughty. Training School made a good start, and for a time our team was up in the air. Boyson went out on an infield fly. Hamilton drove a hot one at Hafford that got away from him, and Hannum got his base on an error, advancing Ham- ilton to third. McCrchan flied out, scoring Hamilton, and Hannum scored on an error at the plate, but Parks retired his side by going out on a fly. In the second, Goode got his base on an error, stole second, and scored on CHAMPIONS OF SENIOR INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE. 1903. Blair’s single. Mulloney got a scratch hit, and Hafford sacrificed. Tift went out on a foul, and Dickinson received a gift, but Cuddy fanned. It was one, two, three order for Cambridge, the first two striking out, and Beckett going out on a fly to Tift. In the third, Somerville scored another run on a hit by Goode and a scratch hit by Blair. Again R. M. T. S. drew a blank. White failed to connect, Boyson got a hit, but was thrown out at second in an attempt to steal, and Hannum fanned. In the fourth, Hafford hit safely, stole second and third, and scored on Dick- inson’s out at second. Cuddy got a scratch hit, stole second, and scored on Hodgdon's hit. In the fifth, the spectators were brought to their feet by a fine running catch by Hodgdon of Hamilton’s long drive, which looked good for at least two bases. In the seventh we scored three runs on hits by Doughty, Mulloney, Tift, and Dickinson. In the eighth, Hamilton cracked out a triple and scored on Ilannum’s sac- rifice. This ended Training School’s scoring. In our eighth Hodgdon hit safely, Doughty went out on a fly, Goode drew a base on balls, and Blair made a drive for two bases, scoring Hodgdon and Goode. In the ninth, neither team scored. It became necessary to change umpires in the fourth inning, owing to un- satisfactory work he was giving both teams. Mr. Butman, a local official, was substituted, and gave satisfaction. The score:— SOMERVILLE. AB. R.BH.PO A. E. R. M T. S. AB. R.BH.PO. A. E.

Until the seventh inning, the game was very close, but after that our boys banged the ball all over the field. Tift pitched a fine game, allowing no hits and but three passes to first. He also had ten strike-outs to his credit. DEAN, 11; SOMERVILLE, 1. June 4 Somerville visited Franklin and met the strong Dean Academy team. It was the old story, strange grounds and yellow baseball. In the first, Dean scored seven runs, chiefly on errors. After that the game was close and interest- ing. Charles Patch, formerly of Somerville High School, captained, and played centre field for Dean. May 23 Somerville met E. H. S. on Broadway Field, and had a walk-over. Brennan started in to twirl for E. H. S., and Hafford was Somerville’s slab artist. Hafford pitched a superb game, giving but four bases on balls, allowing but two hits, and of the twenty-eight men who came up to the bat, seven died at the plate. The support given our pitcher was excellent, the only exception being a poor throw. Cole, the first man up, was hit, and took his base, but was thrown out in an attempt to steal second. The next two men fanned. Somerville scored three in the first. Blair flied out to Cole. Mulloney got his base on errors, and scored on Hafford's two-bagger. Tift got his base on an error, and Dickinson scored both on a single. Cuddy and Hodgdon went out on infield flies. It was one, two, three order for High School in the next two innings, but in the fourth Hamburger rapped out a three-bagger and scored on Clapp’s sacrifice. Somerville scored two runs in the second, two in the fourth, and in the fifth and sixth we batted Brennan so hard that Burke went in the box and held Somerville for the remainder of the game. The features of the game were the playing of Dickinson, Blair, and Cole, and the batting of the whole Somerville team. The score:— SOMERVILLE. AB. K. BH. PO. A.

May 27 Malden High visited Broadway Field for the second time this season. The game was too one-sided to be interesting. The Malden team was in a crip- pled condition. Tift pitched an excellent game, and kept the five hits made by the Malden team well scattered. Carter pitched a fair game for the visitors, with the exception of the third inning, but was given poor support at times. Some of the longest hits of the season were made during the game.

May 30 Broadway Field was the scene of one of the fastest ball games ever witnessed on an interscholastic diamond. Both Hafford and Barnstead pitched superb ball, but Barnstead was unfortunate in his support. Dorchester started the game with Hopgood up, who was given his base. Hickey singled, and Braley followed with another, scoring Hopgood. Wolff went out on a drive to Doughty, and Barnstead and Vinal struck out. In our half, Blair fanned, but got to base on a passed ball and stole second. Mulloney got a hit, but was thrown out at second. Hafford singled, sending in Blair. On the first ball Hafford went down to second, and Tift got to first on an error by Hopgood. Dickinson sacrificed, scoring Hafford, but Cuddy retired the side on a grounder to second base. In the second, Dorchester went out in one, two, three order, and Somerville had but four men face Barnstead. In the third, Dorchester scored one run on a hit by Hopgood, a passed ball, and an error. Somerville had a man on third in this inning, but was unable to Baldwin, Manager Baseball Team. score. In the fourth, it was one, two, three order for both teams, but in the fifth, Haynes and Sullivan led off with hits, but were left on base, as the next three went out on easy chances. Somerville scored one run on hits by Hafford, Mul- loney, and Tift. In the sixth, on an error, aided by two singles, Dorchester had two men cross TRACK TEAM. S. H. AND L.. 1903. the plate, and in the seventh, Somerville added one more to its tally.by errors in the infield. The eighth and ninth were uneventful for Dorchester, but in our ninth we made a “Garrison” finish and bunched three singles. Goode went out on a grounder to Wolff. Blair cracked out a pretty single, cleverly stole second, and went to third on Hafford’s single. With two on bases, Tift came to the bat and placed the ball between second and first. Sullivan went after it, and in the excitement first base was vacated, and Tift reached first and Blair scored, giving Somerville the winning run. The score:— SOMERVILLE. AB. R. BO. PO. A.

S., 5. One of the most exciting games of the season was played with Training School June 6. With the score 4 to 1, against us, our team went in and batted out a victory in the eighth inning. Hafford and Beckett were the opposing pitchers, and each pitched masterly ball, Beckett having the little better control. The game was filled with spectacular plays. Cleavland gathering Hafford’s hard drive into left field, after a long run, White's one-hand stop of Tift’s liner over second, and Hodgdon's hit, scoring two runs, thus winning the game for Somer- ville, were the features. Training School began in the first. Boyson reached first on an error by Dickinson, Hamilton followed suit on an error by Goode, Hannum sacrificed, scoring Boyson, and Parks singled, scoring Hamilton. McCrehan popped up a fly that fell into Hafford's glove. Blair was thrown out by Hamilton to McCrehan, Mulloney got a pass, but was forced by Hafford, and Hafford was thrown out in an attempt to steal second. In the second and third it was one, two, three order for both teams. In the fourth, after striking out Hannum, Hafford gave three passes, but Training School failed to score, as Parks was sent to the bench in an attempt to steal sec- ond, and Beckett struck out. With two gone in the fifth, Somerville got two men on bases, but it resulted in nothing, as the next man up struck out. In the sixth Mulloney reached first on an error and stole second, Hafford’s hard drive was taken care of by Cleavland, and White made a fine stop of Tift’s hit over second, but threw wild, Tift going to second, Mulloney scoring. In the idlator inc I9«j •V Tift, Captain Baseball Team. seventh, with two gone, Blair cracked out a two-bagger, but was left on base, as Mulloney went out on a grounder. In the eighth, Boyson was given his base. Hamilton followed with a hit, and Hannum reached first on an error. Parks sacrificed, scoring Boyson, and McCrchan did likewise, sending Hamilton across the rubber. Cleavland struck out. In our eighth, Hafford bunted, and Parks, in throwing to McCrehan, hit Hafford, the ball shooting off toward the fence. Hafford, in the meantime, had reached third. Tift’s grounder to McCrchan was fumbled. Dickinson got a hit. Cuddy went out, Hamilton to White, and Hodgdon, who has been rather light with the stick this year, came to the rescue with a pretty hit, scoring Dickinson and Tift, thus tying the score. Doughty fanned, and Dick Goode singled, and scored on Hannum's error of Blair’s grounder. In the ninth for R. M. T. S., Beckett was hit by a pitched ball, White and Slocumb each met the ball for a hit, and Boyson got to first on a fielder’s choice, Beckett scoring. White reached third, but in an attempt to score was thrown out at the plate, and Slocumb was forced out at second. With two gone and three men on bases, Parks sent a fly up to Doughty, who gathered it safely, thus ending the game. The score:— SOMERVILLE. ' | AB. R.BII. PO. A.

We were pleased to see so many of the faculty present at the R. M. T. S. game. It is pleasant to see the good feeling existing between Somerville High School and Rindgc Manual Training School. Training School has always been a firm friend of S. H. S., and the best of spirit exists between the two associations. OFF THE PITCH By E. D. P., E., Sing a song of pennies, A pocket full, ah, me, “I’ll try my hand at pitching,’5 Said little Elmer B. So, with a few old cronies, Behind the school he went. And during all the recess They pitched away their cents. '03. Oh, how those coins did rattle And ring against the brick, “Ah, my, but this is easy, I’ll show them a little trick.’’ But when the game was over, Poor Elmer he looked sad, For he was minus twenty, Twenty pennies to the bad. WE WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP SOMERVILLE, 10; BOSTON E. H. S., 6. June 10 Somerville ended the season by defeating English High School in a slow game. Both teams fielded poorly, and put little spirit into the game. The feature of the game was the pitching of Hafford. He had sixteen strike-outs. Out of five times at bat, Hafford got four hits, with a total of seven bases. The score:— SOMERVILLE. AB. R.BII. PO. A. E.
