In order to obtain the best results in athletic contests, it is important that you should have the best implements. They may cost a trifle more, but it pays. Many a match has been lost by the useef poor tools, so why not have the best Tennis Racket and Ball, Foot Ball, Basket Ball, Running Shoes, Skates. Hockey Sticks, Sweaters, Jerseys, etc. Our goods have character — our trade-mark means something. Send for our Catalogue.

'11 4 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR The Radiator Staff regrets that, owing tocauses for which it is in no way responsible, it has been unable to publish the October number. We pro- pose to make every effort this year to increase the receipts and to diminish the running expenses, so far as can be done without interfering with the lit- erary value of the paper. If our readers miss some of the artistic accessories of former days, they must bear in mind that calico and homespun for which the wearer has paid is a better dress than silk and broadcloth for which the wearer must inn into debt. it it it it Salutatory In the June number our predecessors gracefully spoke of, “resigning the management of the Radiator to other and worthier Jjands.” .. We.ap- preciate the kindness of this intrrfdijfctp N, re- make our editorial bow with much embarrassment; for more and more we begm to -rc life c Ute magni- tude of the task that has been-thrust itp'On n g and our own lack of preparation for the work. This much, however, we may modestly say: It will be our earnest and untiring endeavor to maintain the high standard that has been handed down to us from previous years. We wish to urge at the out- set that our efforts in this direction are doomed to failure if we are not loyally supported by our fellow- students. All can subscribe to the Radiator, and thus insure its financial success, and very many can write for it, and thus insure that wealth of material that alone will allow of proper selection. Without much material there can be no selection, and with- out careful selection we cannot have a superior paper. K It It K Oreetinos To the members of the class of 1911 we extend a most hearty welcome. You arc now entering upon a new era in your life,—one which is full of grand opportunities for both pleasure and profitable upbuilding, and at the same time one in which your path is liable to be beset with snares. In the high school you find an individual freedom to which you .were a stranger in the grammar school. Do not -■jnis'take that freedom for leisure. Here you begin to substitute the restraints of society and morality ; dor the arbitrary restraints of the teacher. Until You have learned to make this substitution you arc not fit to be turned loose upon the world. Do you want to have a good time? Then do your whole duty in your studies, on the athletic field, and in the social life and general interests of the school. You will tiien have many pleasant things to remember; if you spend all your time trying to have a good time, you will remember many things with regret. Why should we spend all our time in studying vs S3H STACK OT TA THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Latin, physics, or geometry in the high school, when most of us do not expect to make any great use of such subjects after graduating? Because we all want to remember well, to observe accurately, and to reason clearly; and the subjects studied in the high school arc those that have been found best fitted for developing strong and able minds. Re- member that we are all here that we may become good and able men and women. Therefore walk straight, be straight; remember that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. � r jfootball The football season is now drawing to a close. At the outset the team was greatly weakened by the graduation of five of its regular players in June, and by the loss of Coach Cuddy, who for several years had generally succeeded in developing a champion- ship team. Nevertheless Coach Hafford, though working with unusually light material, has devel- oped a team that has already lost but three out of thirteen games. Of the championship games, we have won that with Dorchester by a score of 12 to 4. The recent well-played and hard-fought game with Malden High resulted in a victory for Somer- ville, by a score of 6 to 5. Let every loyal student of the Somerville High School attend the R. M. T. S. game on the Broad- way Field on Thanksgiving Day, and lend his pres- ence and his voice to cheer our team on to victory, r ► r r iRew Ccacl.KTs The school year opens with four new teachers in the English High. Miss Hadley, who is teaching English, history, and Latin, is a graduate of Boston University, and comes to us from the Milton High School. Miss Howe, also a graduate of Boston University, comes to us from New Britain, Conn. Miss Anderson has been teaching in the Revere High School, where she has had charge of the com- mercial department. Albert I. Montague, A. B., Amherst, ’9G, has been sub-master of the Natick High School for the past two years. Fie had pre- viously taught in Lawrencevillc, N. J., and in the Alleghany Preparatory School of Pennsylvania. In the Latin High, Miss Hall takes the place of Miss Pratt as head of the department of English. To all of these teachers the Radiator extends a most hearty and cordial welcome. On an Hutumn 2Da ? When I look off from some high hill, I see The mountains dim and indistinct; the sun His glory llings around, and has begun To turn the leaves to red o’er all the lea. And over there the flaming maple tree Stands where the -silky cobwebs have been spun Amongst the crimson vines, which all have run O’er stony walls in manner gay and free. And nearer still the farmers’ houses stand, Surrounded by brown meadows, where the thin And scrawny hedge half screens the busy hive. These pleasures all I have so near at hand. I look around once more and take them in, And think how glad I am to be alive. APR 1 2 1972 6 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR IRobert Southern's Wrong -is j IDavtba H. Brpan, 2 ., TO N a room luxuriously furnished with soft Persian rugs, comfortable-look- ing leather armchairs, a library table «itrI in the centre of the room, and oak shelves on each side, with an astonish- ingly fine selection of books on them, stands a man with his back to the open fireplace in which is burning a cheerful fire. He is about fifty years of age, tall, and of kingly bearing; he has steel blue eyes, an aquiline nose, and a firm mouth. As he stands there, one can tell at a glance that he is nervously awaiting the approach of some one whose welcome will be rather brusque. Finally the door opens, and there enters a lad of eighteen, who bears a decided resemblance to his father, except that he possesses his gentle little mother’s soft brown eyes, and although he has his mother’s kind and loving nature, lie also has his father’s hot, hasty temper. The cause of the father’s anger is that Robert •Southern, the son. who has always been the leader in fun and mischief, has been unjustly accused of the serious offence of cheating at the final college examinations, papers having been found which bore a strong resemblance to his handwriting, and the initials “R. S.” in the upper corner, together with his high per cent., seemed sufficient proof of his guilt, and having no suitable evidence to prove his innocence, he has been declared guilty by the fac- ulty. his friends, and his father. When Robert arrived home feeling exceed- ingly downcast, his mother had said: “Don’t mind. Bertie, mother will never believe it of you, though the whole world declares you guilty, and father, too, will stand by you.” But what a disappointment it was to them both when Mr. Southern, having been acquainted with the news, called his son to him in anger and disgust. He told Robert in great rage that he had put up with his fun and mischief, but he would never put up with a sneak, a cheat, a dis- honorable coward, and a liar. It was then that Robert Southern, Jr.’s, manly nature asserted itself, and he in deep rage told his father that he would not be accused in that manner, and he again and again denied the accusations, each time the senior’s rage becoming more and more intense, until, with his face red with passion, he bade his son leave his home and never darken his door again. Days have passed into weeks, weeks into months, and months have rolled on into years since that stormy scene fifteen years ago. Robert Southern left his Eastern home, and unknown to his people worked his way to the West, the land of promise. In the meantime the father has died repentant of his rash act, having lived long enough to sec the inno- cence of his son proved, and the gentle little mother is left with no one but the child Alice, who was only three years old at the time of her brother’s abrupt departure, but who is now a girl of eighteen. The mother is little changed, save that she has a quieter and more melancholy expression than formerly. Alice, who has been away to boarding school, has just returned the previous night, much to her mother’s delight, and as she stood the following morning before the wide hearth in the dining-room, she thought how glad she was to be at home again. Her last glimpse of the world the night before had been of trees lashed by a cold rain, of arc lamps with globes of fog, and of wet asphalt pavements reflecting the lights of Wellington avenue. But now everywhere there was snow heaped in exquisite drifts about the trees and clinging in soft masses to the rough bark of their trunks. The iron fence about the great yard was half buried in it, and the houses along the avenue seemed strange and far away in the white transfiguration, and the roofs had lost their familiar outlines against the low, gray sky that hung over them. “What a beautiful scene, and oh, how glad I am to be home again!” exclaimed Alice, as she turned from the window to her breakfast. After hurriedly eating, she joined her mother in the library, where she was reading the morning news, and Alice, tak- ing a book from its place on the shelf, curled herself comfortably on a divan near the fireplace. Far away she heard the tinkle of sleighbells, and on the avenue she saw men trudging along with shovels on their shoulders, happy in the temporary prosperity this chance for work had brought them. With a slight shrug of her shoulders, she turned her mind from the snowy scene to her book, and here she sat till luncheon. When she had had her lunch, she again returned to the library and her book. She stayed there about two hours, then suddenly startled her mother by flinging the volume to the floor in disgust and running from the room and up the stairs. She came down presently dressed for the street, with her red tam-o’-shanter on top of her (Continued on page 2:5. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 7 Iberbert at tbe flMay H iDonolooue. .U3y? ii . S. ribaulsbg, os Y husband? Oh, he's in the other room. You know he works in the market, and he has to get up at four o'clock every morning, so when he comes home he’s pretty tired. As soon as he gets through his supper he takes the paper and sits down ir his easy chair and begins to read. But the first thing I know, I begin to hear him snore, and that means lie's fast asleep. When I get ready to go to bed, I have to wake him up and tell him it’s time for bed. Lots of times when lie gets through his supper, I say to him: ‘Herbert, you’re tired: why don't you go to bed?' But he always says: ‘I want to read, 1 ain’t sleepy to-night But in five minutes his eyes begin to droop, and after that it isn’t long be- fore lie’s fast asleep. “When we were first married we used to go to the theatre a lot; but he used to make such a sight of himself that we had to give it up. Why, one night we went to sec this new opera-----------let’s see, what do they call it? ’Tisn’f ‘Fantana’------ well, I can’t think what the name of it is; but, any- way, we saw it three times. There was this time, and then the Masons gave it once (you know Herbert’s a Mason), and then Mr. Good, lie’s Herbert’s boss in the market, invited us. Well, this time we was chewing gum when we started ; but. of course, when the play started we stopped. I threw mine under the seat: but Her- bert saved his so’s he could chew it later. I was real interested in the play, so at first I didn’t pay no attention to Herbert; but pretty soon 1 looked over his way. and he was sound asleep. I sec the lady back of me was watching, and I knew she thought he was drunk. He wasn’t, though, he was just tired. So I leaned over to him and tapped him on the shoulder, and says to him: 'Herbert, wake up!’ Well, he woke up with a start, and all of a sudden he held up his hand and said right out loud: ‘Maria, I can’t open my hand!’ Everybody heard him, and they all turned ’round to look at him, and what do you s’pose he’d done? He’d gone to sleep with that gum ir. his hand, and it had stuck to him just like mucilage. Of course everybody began to laugh, and I was mortified ’most to death. “I had a worse experience with him than that, just the same. That was one time we went to Keith’s, and it was a real good show, too. They always have good shows there, and the moving pictures arc ’most always interesting. We used to go there quite often, that’s how 1 happen to know so much about it. This time I wouldn’t let Herbert get any gum; but he determined to buy something, so I let him get me a pound of choco- lates. Before I said I’d go, I made him promise me that he wouldn't go to sleep; but then, I might have known that was too much to expect of him. We got along all right for quite a time, and then the trouble began. I didn’t want to be passing the candy over to Herbert all the time, so I told him to take three or four pieces at a time, and then he wouldn’t have to come so often. We’d seen about three acts, when I began to notice that Her- bert wasn’t saying much, so when a fellow began to sing that I didn’t like, I looked over Herbert’s way. Would you believe it, for all he’d promised, there he was fast asleep! Well. I was mad! I leaned over and tapped him. and it wasn’t no gen- tle tap. either, and I says: ‘Herbert, you wake up!’ And what do you suppose that man done? Oh, yes, he woke up all right. Well, he come to so sudden that he was kind o’ dazed; but the first thing he did was to put his hand up, just like a little boy in school, and then he srys in that loud voice folks use when they’ve just waked up: ‘Maria, look at my hand!’ He said it so loud that about a quarter of the audience heard him. and they looked. So did I. One look was all I wanted. He'd fallen asleep with the chocolates in his hand, and his hand bein’ warm, they all melted, and the chocolate had run up his sleeve, all over his arm. and all over the front of his best coat. My. but he was a sight! We had to go home right then, and all the way up the aisle people turned ’round to look at us and laugh. I got enough of the theatre that night to last me some time: but then you can’t exactly blame Her- bert, he has to get up so early, and he’s got to get his sleep sometime. “I like to go to the theatre, but after that scene, I told him I’d never go with him again. Of course I didn’t mean I never would: but it's awful aggravating to go to the theatre with a man, and then have him go to sleep. It don’t look nice. “Those two times were pretty bad; but they aren’t anywhere near as bad as the last time we went. Yes, we went again. This time, though, fContinued on page 11.] 8 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR H Crip to Jamestown THatbaiUel HMtcbell, ’I0 IIE last whistle had blown, and we were off upon a trip which promised to please all. As we passed out of sight of the friends and rela- tives who were waving their handker- chiefs to us, a gloomy sensation threatened us because of having to leave them be- hind, but the next moment we were all talking and joking about what we expected was before us. Our boat was a large one of about 22,000-ton weight. It was as homelike as a boat could be. Our staterooms opened out upon the upper deck, and were very neat and comfortable. The social hall was in the middle of the boat, with the dining- hall directly beneath it. The officers were quite so- ciable. especially the captain. Ilis quarters were directly over the steering room. Our trip from Boston to Norfolk was very pleasant to all except- ing those who were seasick and tired. The fog blew in while we were off Highland Light, and completely enveloped us till we emerged from it into the Chesapeake bay. At about eight o'clock we were landed at the wharf in Norfolk. After checking our baggage, we came on deck to sec the boat unloaded. There were about forty negroes on the wharf waiting for work. As we stood there, a man on the deck tossed a penny to one of the negroes. It seemed as though a football game was just starting a scrimmage; every negro made a rush for the penny. More pennies were thrown to them to sec them fight for money. This was kept up till the portholes were opened, and then they commenced their work as though nothing had happened. They all sang as they worked, and very few sang the same song. We watched them work for a while, and then decided to look over as much of Norfolk as we could before our boat left for Point Comfort. As our time was limited, we were unable to see any of the residential section. We saw a number of churches and noted buildings. We took the boat for Point Comfort at a wharf just beyond the one at which we landed. As we passed out of the harbor, we counted twenty-six American warships on the inside, and four English, with two French and one Argentina battleships, outside. There were about ten torpedo boat de- stroyers lying farther back to escort the battle- ships from the entrance of the bay to their places. Beyond the fleet was a boat built like the Monitor in every way. This boat interested many in our party. It was hard for them to realize that a small boat like that could do so much destruction. After a sail of about fifty minutes, we landed at Point Comfort. The wharf was completely cov- ered with negroes, all asking to carry our grips. As our baggage was checked, we proceeded to walk to our hotel. We found it very warm walk- ing. but cool inside the hotel. After a change in attire, we walked around the fort and other points of interest. The entire point was under military jurisdiction, with guards posted along the coast atid main roads. A guard told me that there were many plain-clothes detectives in the vicinity guard- ing government property. The houses are very much alike, being all made of brick. We noticed in numbering a double house they numbered them 10-N or 10-S, meaning north and south. The second day in Point Comfort we went through the fort. The entrance was a large stone portal, with a bridge, which crosses the moat, lead- ing to it. Inside the fort we saw on our left a large building, the soldiers’ quarters. In front of us was a large parade ground, which also served for a baseball diamond. On our right were the officers' homes. By crossing the parade ground, we saw the ammunition stores and some large cannon. Just beyond were the ramparts, which extended one mile to the left and about 500 yards to the right. The open bay is just beyond. We passed along the walks in front of the officers’ quarters. Everything was in perfect order, the gardens all in bloom, and the trees as green as they arc in our state in June. After lunch we took the steamboat for the Ex- position. On entering the enclosure, we were quite surprised at the condition of the grounds, and greatly surprised to find only twelve buildings com- pleted. The buildings were not all even occupied, but a few were nearly full and ready for opening. The government building was the first completed building we visited. As we entered, we saw a large model of the landing of John Smith. John Smith was in a boat with his sailors, the Indians were standing around holding out gold and silver and fruit to the sailors. The figures were made of some composition painted. They wore the clothes of Smith’s time; the Indians were clothed as Indians in those days. There were other models repre- senting the different types, from the Dutch, Span- ish. or English planter to the statesman of 18S0. The Virginian building was quite artistically ar- ranged with exhibitions of the different products and manufactures. There was also a display of the arms of the United States, from the flint-lock musket of 1775 to the repeating rifle of the twen- TIIK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 9 tictli century. Around the walls were paintings of noted Virginians. e passed on to the architecture and machin- ery building, where we saw the latest model of a locomotive engine, with its cars. There was a section of the East river tunnel, also a section of the East Poston tunnel. The Waltham Watch Company have on exhibition a watch as large as a barrel. '1 he mineral building is divided into two sections, one containing minerals and the other containing the exhibition of the cattle industry. Gold, silver, and all known minerals are displayed. The differ- ent states are sending on their mineral products. Alaska has a particularly large exhibition. In the second section there are many small stockyards. Gentlemen stand there to explain the different ways of branding and caring for cattle. As we entered the agricultural building, one of the young ladies in our party, seeing what she sup- posed to be imitation apples, said she would like a real apple. As we reached the apple display, the gentlemen in charge asked if we would like some. On learning that they were real, everyone said: “Yes.” They were a little soft, but of good flavor, and it was a unanimous vote of thanks which the gentleman received for his kindness. Corn was displayed from a very pretty booth made of ears of corn, with the stalks woven between in places. This build- ing contained the prettiest display of all {possibly it was because there was something to eat at nearly every booth). At the extreme end of the fair we saw a small building with a large horn or megaphone on the top. Through this a man announced that the building on which he stood did more towards educating the peoples than .all the schools. It was a home of the Filipinos, Japanese, Amazons, and Indians. These buildings constitute about all at present completed. When fully in order, it will be with- out doubt a magnificent exposition. We were somewhat divided in returning; some went by the early boat, and some by the eight o'clock. As for myself, I went with a few on the steamer to Newport News, and took the car to Point Comfort. We had ridden so long that a walk was proposed by one. We walked abut fif- teen minutes, and took the car for home. The conductor told us we had walked through Blood- field, so called because of the murders committed there about thirty years ago. The next day we visited Hampden Institute, a school for boys and girls of the colored race. The boys take the wood-turning and all the branches in manly work, the girls sewing, cooking, and a study of current events. We also visited the Soldiers’ Home. The grounds surrounding it are very beautiful. Just beyond we saw acres of graves. The stones looked beautiful in rows like an orchard whose trees are laid out in straight lines. In the afternoon we were taken on board the English cruiser Good Hope,” and shown all over this boat. We all agreed that it was a very nice boat, but not as good as some of our own. That night we stayed on the steamer “Point Comfort” for Washington. As the water was calm, we had a very enjoyable trip. At 0.45 we passed Mt. Vernon, and arrived in Washington at about eight o’clock. We had breakfast at our hotel, and then started for the Capitol. We were shown some court rooms, and climbed to the dome. As this was called the whispering room, one of our party went around to the other side and whispered. We heard her. but not distinctly. She said it would never do to have our rooms in the school like that. Another interesting place visited was the Mint, where we saw paper money printed. We were told that each bill was printed three times and counted fifty-six times. We next visited the Treasury building. This building contains a reserve fund of about fifteen millions in small coins, about eight millions in gold, and $300,000 in pennies. Hc: c they grind up old bills and sell the ashes for $40 a ton. In the White House we entered the room in which Alice Roosevelt was made Mrs. Longworth. In this room are three chandeliers, which each con- tain (5,300 pieces of glass, and a piano valued at $ -22,500, presented by Steinway Company. We saw the pictures of several of the Presidents’ wives. Some of the party went up in the Washington monument, from the top of which the view is mag- nificent. Most of the marble of the monument was donated by some of the states and higher lodges of this country. At night we visited the Congress Library. As you enter, on the left and right are corridors; in front is the Congressional Library. It is a beautiful sight at night when lighted by electricity. On the left corridor are manuscripts and two relief maps of Washington, one as it is. and the other as it will be; on the right are the reading rooms. The trip to Mt. Vernon pleased all, as a sight of Washington’s home always does. We started for Philadelphia at eight o’clock. We reached there at about ten o’clock, after trav- eling at times as fast as a mile in forty-eight sec- onds. We were taken through the Mint in this city, and also visited Wanamaker’s great depart- ment store. Both interested us greatly. We dined at the Windsor Hotel, and after a walk around the city, took our train for New York, our sightseeing finished, and only the short steamer journey remaining of our delightful vacation tour. 10 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Soliciting advertisements By? 3uUa jfreefcman, X., ’OS. T p y 71 H, dear! It’s all very nice to be an ZOVik editor, I suppose, but 1 simply cannot solicit ‘ads’ of people I do not know. At any rate, I shall not go alone. If I only dared to resign; still, mother would feel very badly, so that is out of the question.” Thus Helen Ilowes soliloquized after she had been given a list of places to go to in order to obtain advertisements for the Jabber- wock, her school paper. As misery loves company, she felt a little relieved (although it was rather mean) that three other girls had the same un- pleasant task before them; one of them. Marian Howard in ordinary life, was now the chief of the business committee, and had given her a list of six places which must be visited that same afternoon. These places were Metcalf’s drug store, a sewing machine company, a shoe shop, a furniture store, a fruit store, and a laundry. The places were all widely scattered; all of them, however, except one, which was quite a distance out in West Roxburv, were in Boston. By great good luck. Helen persuaded a class- mate, Isabelle Worcester, to go with her. Marian had already given her some blank receipts, an old copy of the Jabbcrwock, some good advice, and the different prices. Therefore when the 2 o’clock bell for dismissal rang, she and Isabelle raced to the dressing room, put on their wraps, and hurried off. As Metcalf’s was the first place on their way down, they went there. Timidly and blushing furi- ously, Helen stated her errand to the clerk. He was very pleasant to her, but he told her that tne advertising manager did not have his quarters in this store and that if she wanted to see him she would have to go to the one on Trcmont street, near Houghton’s. Poor Helen felt greatly disap- pointed. The first venture had been a failure, and it’s hard if anything goes wrong at the outset. But was it really a failure? Wasn’t there a wee chance left that she might succeed at the other store? So, with raised hopes, they set off again. The next place on their way down was the shoe store. It was the Krcak Shoe Shop on West street. The girls stopped before the building to gather the last remnants of their courage before entering. Finally, going in. they were asked by a nice old gentleman what they wished. Helen showed him his “ad” in the paper, and asked him if lie wished to renew it. Following her chief's advice, she as- sured him that all the girls would patronize him, and after he made sure that no other shoe firm had an ad in it he gave her a ten-dollar one. Then, in a very businesslike manner, she gave him a re- ceipt, although she could hardly keep from shout- ing for joy. When they came out they saw Marian, and told her the good news, and when the former said she had been to three nlaccs and had not been able to get a single ad” Helen executed a war dance on the spot. Feeling greatly pleased with herself and the whole world, she and Isabelle pursued their way to the machine store. 'I hey found it had its quarters in a very pretty little room, which had tables and chairs strewn everywhere. They sat down near one of the tables, and a man came over to ask them what they wanted. Again Helen had to do the talking. He was a young fellow, and he seemed most stupid. '1 he firm’s ad” in the paper had to be shown him about twenty times, and he could not remember the cost of it for two seconds. At length he said that he was not the manager, but if the girls would leave a copy of the paper he would try his best to get the ad” for them. But they had only one copy of the paper, which no doubt would be needed at the other stores. Finally a compromise was effected: they were to send a copy of the paper that night, and if they would call the next afternoon he would tell them whether or not the manager could advertise in the paper. Isabelle then proposed that they go down to the furniture store, and on the way back they could stop at Metcalf’s downtown store. So they went to the furniture store, which was ’way down on North Washington street, near Adams square. But the people there were very busy, and after a brief inter- view asked the girls to come the next day at about o’clock. Luck now seemed to be against them, for they were disappointed at Metcalf’s again. The manager was not in. l ie was there on certain days only, and the poor girls were told that if they would come on Thursday he would be very happy indeed to see them. There was only one town place left now, and these forlorn maids tried to find it. Then truly were they lost in Boston’s maze of streets. Have you ever been to Commerce street? If you have, you will appreciate the woes before these brave, but ignorant, girls. They asked policemen how to get there, and finally, after a dozen had been asked, they found the place. It is very far away, near the wharves. Well, after they had finally found the place, which is in a most disreputable part of the city, they were told that the owner was THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 11 lo vn South at sonic food fair, and would not be back for two weeks. If she wished, the editor could send him a letter at the end of that time, as he was traveling about, and his exact address was not known. Then Isabelle refused to go any further, and our undaunted little editor had to continue her way alone. There was only one place left, a laundry, but it was at the furthest end of West Roxbury. After a long, dreary ride there, the owner said he was sorry, but he could not afford to advertise in school papers any more, as it had been costing him quite a sum every year, and he received no adequate return. Thoroughly disheartened and fatigued, Helen went home. Her brother sent a copy of the Jab- berwock to the machine shop for her, since she had just swallowed her dinner and gone to bed, without doing a single home lesson. Thus ended an excit- ing and weary afternoon spent in soliciting adver- tisements. ------------------------ Derbert at tbe flMav? IContinucd from page 7.1 Mr. and Mrs. Good invited us to a theatre party with two or three friends of theirs, and of course we had to accept, because Herbert works for Mr. Good. What I saw of the play was real interest- ing ; it was at the Castle Square, and I always did like that theatre. We was in one of the lower boxes, and you know how they stick out into the audience; so everybody could see us easy. I Icrbert sat in the front row at one side, so that he could lean back against the wall, and right next to him was one of the ladies Mrs. Good had invited, a Mrs. White. 1 thought that Herbert would make a fool of himself, and so I spoke to Mrs. Good. So she says to Herbert: ‘Herbert, your wife wants to sit up front where she can see, won’t you please change places with her?’ But Her- bert says: T'm satisfied, this scat's good enough for me. If she wants to be in the front row, there’s plenty of room side of Mr. Good.’ I saw it was no use to make any more talk about it. so I settled down to watch the play. It wasn’t long be- fore Herbert pushed his chair back and lie went to sleep. You know what a red complexion he has anyway, and when he’s asleep it looks a good deal worse. Besides it was hot inside the theatre. “I knew that Mrs. White was watching him and that she thought he’d been drinking, so I stepped over to him and says: ‘Herbert, you change places with me, and then you can go to sleep where no one will see you.’ But he was only half asleep, and he kind of started up and rubbed his eyes, and then he says so we ah could hear hinr ‘I ain’t sleepy. I’m watching the play.’ Well, it isn’t any use arguing with him when his mind’s made up, so 1 gave in. But inside o’ five minutes he was fast asleep, his mouth was wide open, and you could hear him snore fifteen feet away. I could sec out of the corner of my eye that Mrs. White thought he had been boozing and was sleeping it off. Well, he did look like it. And she was looking over her shoulder at me as though she pitied anyone who had a drunken husband. I knew that even if I should say: ‘My husband ain’t drunk, lie’s only tired.’ that Mrs. White wouldn’t believe me; so I spoke to Mrs. Good again. She understood it all right, and so she went up to Herbert and shook him so’s to wake him up, and then she says: ‘Your wife is tired and wants to go home, so you wake up and go along with her.’ Well, lie knew that he’d been asleep and he was kind o’ ashamed, so lie obeyed meek as a lamb, and 1 got him home all right. But I know that to this day that Mrs. White thinks I’ve married a drunkard, and all the talk in the world wouldn’t convince her to the contrary. “I guess it will be some time before 1 go out with Herbert in the evening again. I wouldn’t go through an experience like that again, no, sir, not for ten dollars. I know Herbert will be glad to hear you’ve called, and I’d wake him up only that he needs the sleep. Listen!----- There, can’t you hear a kind of grating noise? Well, that’s him snoring. “Well, I’m sorry you must be going. Good- by. Come again.” --------------------------- Somerville jfootball IRujbt A high-class vaudeville and dance will be given at Odd bellows hall, Winter hill, as a reception to Coach Hafford and Captain Sham ’s football squad on Thanksgiving night.

We hope to see all old friends of the paper, and new ones will receive a cordial welcome. The Echo is a fine paper in many ways. It would improve it, however, to leave the advertise- ments out of the paper proper. The cover is very attractive. The High School Herald has an extremely good exchange column. The cover design of the Enterprise is very neat and attractive. “I'm told Mrs. Brown’s mind is entirely gone, poor thing!” “Well, she's been giving poor Brown pieces of it for so long, I don’t wonder.”—Ex. “Woman,” said the lecturer, “is pure gold.” “Yes,” interrupted the thoughtful man in the rear seat, “money talks.”—Ex.

TIIE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 3 pbt Blpba The first meeting of the newly-initiated members of the Phi Alpha Sorority was held in June at the home of Susie II. Pilsbury for the purpose of elect- ing officers. Those chosen were: President, Isabel McDonald; treasurer, Susie H. Pilsbury; and secretary, Katharine L. Bradbury. The other three active members are G. Marian Lovering, Annie M. Gridley, and Lavinia L. Ware. A second meeting was held September 20, and plans for the coming winter were discussed. Resides the annual gentlemen's night and dance, it has been proposed to hold a reunion to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the sorority. It is sin- cerely hoped by the members that the social suc- cesses of former years will at least be equaled, if not surpassed. ------------------------- 1W. X. C. The first meeting of the X. L. C. Club was held at the home of Miss Lillian Mugford, Bow street. The new officers, President Grace Bradford, Vice- President Eleanor Neilon, Secretary Mabel Ingham, and Treasurer Lillian Mugford, shoul- dered the burden of their predecessors. Extensive plans were made for the future, the first to be exe- cuted being a Hallowe’en party, which proved to be one of the greatest successes in the club's history. The guests assembled at the barn at 8 o’clock, and were conducted by a bevy of country lassies into a room decorated with beautiful autumn leaves and evergreen, and tastefully hung with Japanese lanterns. In the corners of the barn huge pump- kins, with grotesque features, grinned on the merry gathering, who were soon engaged in bobbing for apples and performing similar Hallowe’en stunts. The barn dance and Virginia reel were thoroughly enjoyed, the music of the phonograph adding to the merry bursts of laughter. After several games, including one named “Tucker,” which caused great merriment, every one adjourned to the floor above, where, amid artistically-arranged cornstalks, a genuine old-fashioned supper was spread, which was intensely enjoyed by all. In the wee sma' hours” the joyous crowd very reluctantly bade fare- well to the place where they had spent such a gay time. Miss Teele and Mrs. Bradford acted as chap- erons. Xe Cercie jf rancate Le Cercle Francais met at the home of its presi- dent, Miss Grace Bradford, 276 Summer street. Wednesday evening, October 30. The members of the club are Seniors who have acquired some | r - ficiency in French. The business and picas resnf the evening were conducted in that language. John Bettencourt gave a most interesting descrip- tion of the arena sports as known in Portugal, and Frank Adams told a number of interesting French stories. A game was played, in which Miss Mary Carney won the prize. Several songs were sung in unison, and all agreed that the evening was a suc- cess. The hostess served refreshments, and the meeting was adjourned until November 21. -------------------------------------- The opening meeting of the Gamma Sigma Club was held Friday, September 27. at the home of Miss Madeline Woodley. The annual election of offi- cers took place, with the following results: Presi- dent, Harriet Whitaker; vice-president. Jean With- ered : treasurer, Marion Foster; and secretary, Elsie Brown. 14 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR ’OS Class Editor, Harold L. Etheridge. At the election of officers at the beginning of the school year, the following were elected: President, Herbert V. Field; vice-president. W. Shipman Maulsby; secretary and treasurer, Isabel Mc- Donald; class editor, H. L. Etheridge. “This man made a rash statement, and received harsh criticism.

At a class meeting held on September 23, Arthur Hatch was elected president; Robert Davis, vice- president ; Maurice Barron, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Evans, class editor. Miss Evans re- signed, and at another meeting Harry Greenwood was elected to take her place. Miss Scoboria and Miss Ro—ts, the class chil- dren, have very hot disputes.

Chapin The usual remark about our being upper class- men is now apropos, of course. As such we really ought to have more dignity and serious purpose than is apparent in some cases. Now we begin to realize that in two short years we will be scattered and gone. This fact, brought to our attention so often as it is, should unite us in a closer bond of sympathy and fraternal concord. Speaking of sympathy, that's what the Tech- nology aspirants appreciate when they regard the relentless “six-straight” programmes. Cheer up!

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR It is interesting to note how many wireless ex- perts we have in this class.

For some months there had been no little speculation as to whether llafford or Dickinson would secure the position. No doubt the members of the association acted wisely in their decision. 11 afford was born in Somerville and was edu- cated in its schools. He was graduated from the Latin school in 1905. During his high-school course he played on both baseball and football teams, and won no little fame. In the fall of 1905 he entered Bowdoin Ccilcge, but was soon obliged to return home because of the death of his father. In September, 1906, lie entered Tufts Medical School, but left in the spring of 1907 to join the Cincinnati Nationals. Zbe Zcam On Monday, September 11 Captain Sharry called out the candidates for the football team; about fifty men turned out. The old men back are: Sharrv, Mixer, Forg, Hoyt, Gustin, Scriven, and Commin., also a few subs of last year's team. The team had very little time for practice before their first game, which was played September 25 with Everett. ATHLETIC NOTES Somerville Ibiob, 6; Everett Ibiob, 6 The football team lined up for its first game of the season on September 25 against the strong Everett team. Each team scored a touchdown in the first half. Everett put up a very fine game, and Somerville was able to gain ground only by end runs, while Everett ploughed through Somer- ville’s line several times for large gains. Forg and Sharry played a fine game; also Ma- honey. who, in the second half, carried the ball through tackle for a gain of thirty-five yards. Brickley and Lansing excelled for Everett.

The team showed up much better than in the game played with THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 21 Everett. The Cambridge line was very weak, and Somerville’s backs easily made large gains. Somerville scored twice in the first half and once in the second. Hafford tried out many of the new men, and they showed up very well. The line-up:— SOMERVILLE HIGH.

October 5, was a great surprise, Waltham landing a 17 to 0 victory over Somerville. Waltham kicked off. Donahue got the ball on his own fifteen-yard line, but was downed on the spot by a Waltham player. Somerville tried to punt and fumbled. Leary re- covered the ball and succeeded in planting it be- hind Somerville’s goal in less than four minutes of play. After the second kick-off Waltham carried the ball to the centre of the field, where they were held for downs. Sharry, after his team failed to make any gains, punted, but Carlton broke through and blocked the punt. Captain Haron of Wal- tham picked the ball up and ran fifty yards for Waltham’s second touchdown. In the second half Wiley, who was injured in the Groton game, took the place of Donahue at quarter. Sharry tried to kick a goal from place- ment. but failed. The line-up:— SOMERVILLE HIGH. WALTHAM HIGH. Forg. r.e Merrill, r.t l.t.. Partridge Nowell, r.g (justin, c Russ, l.g r.g..

Somerville played football of the old-fashioned kind, confining licr plays largely to line attacks. Captain Sharry made one run of sixty yards. Field showed up well at end and was successful in blocking Haver- hill’s tries for gains around his end. Haverhill at no time was near scoring a touchdown, and her gains were made mostly on forward passes and trick plays. The first touchdown came in a rush; Haverhill fumbled the kick-off. made a miserable try for a punt, and then lost the ball to Somerville, Sharry going over for a touchdown after less than a min- ute of play. In the second half Somerville made many changes in her line-up. and tried a few trick plays with success. At the end of the half Mixer made a twenty-five-yard run for a touchdown.

Somerville scored a touch- down and kicked a goal in each half, while Dor- chester scored four points, when they dropped a goal from the field from the twenty-five-yard line. Somerville showed its superiority over Dorchester from the middle of the first half to the close of the game. Sharry and Mahoney were the best ground-gainers for Somerville, Sharry getting in a number of end runs which contributed largely to the final score. Mahoney made large gains by carrying the ball through tackle. The first touchdown was made with Somerville’s backs carrying the ball without once losing pos- session of it for sixty-five yards. In the second half Somerville gained fifteen and twenty yards on two cleverly-worked forward passes, and went over the line for its second touch- down within ten minutes. Fraser.

As she was going out, her mother called after her: “Don't be long, dear, re- member the dinner. As she turned in between the high banks of snow piled along either side of the walk, she felt the fine quality of tne air that sparkled with a cold vitality, as pure as the snow which seemed to exhale it. She tossed her head as if to rid it of all the dis- ordered fancies she had gathered in the unreal world of romance with which she had spent the day. Then for the first time she realized how gigantic the storm had been. O11 the avenue the snow had been beaten into a hard, yellow track, and Welling- ton avenue was alive; the single sleighbell Alice had heard that morning had been joined by num- berless strings of other bells, until the air vibrated with their musical clamor. Great Russian sledges with scarlet plumes shaking at their dashboards swept by, with the faces of their occupants ruddy in their furs. When she came to Fairbanks street she turned down to the little old chapel where she had come so often before; she tried the door, and it yielded to her efforts. As she tripped down the aisle, she noticed that the church was full of shadows, and it had rather a dreamy effect upon her. Involuntarily she spoke aloud, and said: How good it seems to be back in this little chapel after so long a time, and how familiar the old chapel looks, with its darkly- colored windows through which are sent the vari- ous tinted shafts of sunlight! And still in a dreamy manner her fingers played oyer the keys of the organ and produced the familiar old ballad. “Home, Sweet Home.” The chapel seemed to in- cite in her a thoughtful mood, and she played all the old pieces she had heard her mother play so often before. Finally she thought of the time, and, closing the organ, started down the aisle toward the door. As she got about half way to the door, a figure ap- proached her from out the shadows, and seeing her retreat a step in fright, said: Don’t be afraid; I heard you say how good it seemed to be back in the old chapel, and I was of the same mind, and you played the old pieces my mother used to play, which brought back memories of fifteen years ago. Do you know Mr. and Mrs. Southern, and are they still alive? Alice started in surprise, and exclaimed: Why, of course I know them; they are my mother and father, but, ' in a sadder tone, my father has been dead these past twelve years. Then the man told her that they were his parents, too, and asked in surprise if it were possible that she was the tiny Alice he had last seen fifteen years ago. Alice confessed io being the same, and said: Why, you must be my much-talked-of brother Robert! How often mother speaks of you! It will make her real happy to see you again, her boy Robert! So together they started down the familiar street toward home. When they reached the house, they went straight to the library: the mother’s back was turned toward the door, but when she turned f Words cannot express her look of joyous surprise and welcome, and after fondly embracing her bov, who was now a full-grown manly man of thirty- three, she told him how he had been proved inno- cent thirteen years ago. Proof being found that the papers had belonged to a fellow by the name of Roland Saunders, thus accounting for the initials R. S.. and the fellow, being too much of a coward at the time, allowed the truly honest Robert Southern to shoulder his guilt. But after two years, he wrote to the faculty and confessed all. Mr. and Mrs. Southern were immediately in- formed of their son’s innocence, but it was too late; the damage was done, and the happy home was de- stroyed. but Mr. Southern was exceedingly pleased to have him proved innocent. Robert also rejoiced to know that his father had lived to see his inno- cence proven. lie told his mother that he had prospered in the West, but had never heard of his vindication, and had written to them. but. having received no answer, thought they still believed him guilty. But the mother told him she had received no letter, and had thought him dead after all these years, and as a proof of his father’s feeling toward him, told him how in his last sickness he called for him all the time. Now they were all together again except the father. Robert said he would stay at home now, for although the West offered great promises, the East was his home and he loved it.

Let us see that our gifts are bestowed in the spirit of loving kindness and not with the desire for dis- play. A merry Christmas to all our readers. Somerville is a city rich in historic associations, many of which are already suitably commemo- rated. On Prospect hill is the beautiful and com- manding tower, marking the spot where Washing- ton first unfurled the American flag. The Old Powder House, where Washington stored his powder during the siege of Boston, is known throughout the country, and the beautiful park surrounding it. with its well kept lawn and shrub- bery and its neatly arranged walks and drives, is a credit to the city. Within a few months wc shall be able to point with pride to another memorial. Through the ef- forts of Alderman William M. Armstrong, of ward 8, and others the sum of twenty thousand dollars has been appropriated by the city for the erection of a monument to those who fought and fell in the war of the Rebellion. Our frontispiece is a good representation of the monument as it will appear when completed. The figures, in bronze, of heroic size, represent the volunteer and the winged goddess of victory. They stand upon a granite pedestal which rises from the centre of a semicircular exedra. The total height of the monument is to be twenty-eight feet, and the diame- ter of the exedra twenty-five feet. The monument is to be placed in Central Hill park, east of the Latin building. The Prospect Hill Tower and the Old Powder House recall the birth of the American union; the Central Hill monument will commemorate those who helped to weld that union into the American nation. “The King is dead. Long live the King.” The football season is passed, but the season of basket ball, its winter substitute, is upon us. Con- sidering the athletic spirit in the schools and the large amount of available material it would seem that wc ought to be able to develop a winning team. At the outset, however, we are confronted with the same difficulty that has proved such a serious obstacle to the success of the team in former years. Wc have no suitable hall for prac- tice and for games. About the only place open to us seems to be Bacon hall, but those who have played there know how treacherously slippery the floor is. Is it too much for us to ask the school commit- tee of Somerville to provide us with a suitable hall for this most popular and valuable winter sport? THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 29 Following the custom of former years, the Janu- ary number of the Radiator will be devoted to articles and stories by members of the editorial staff. We shall do our best, and we trust that our efforts will merit the commendation of our readers. The alumni number will come in March. As several of the alumni have already promised to contribute, this should be one of the best issues of the year. We earnestly request that undergradu- ates will assist in the preparation of this issue by forwarding to their class editors any information that may concern the location and the occupation of graduates of the high schools. Any subscriber failing to receive his Radiator will confer a favor upon the management by im- mediately notifying the business manager. A change, much regretted by both schools, is the retirement of Mr. Sellon from the manage- ment of the lunch counter. Mr. Sellon has been in constant charge of that important feature of the schools since 189.15. He leaves us now on account of ill health in his family. Our heartiest good wishes arc his. Mrs. Norby, of Everett, who has had much successful experience in that line, will take charge of the lunch counter. ---------------------------- All scholars playing musical instruments arc re- quested to report to Mr. Eksergian, E., ’08.

Kill on the summit of the precipitous rock of Scylla, commanding an ex- cellent view of Sicily in all its splen- dor, towered the gloomy, threatening castle of the Prince of Tolfi. In the olden days, when the fertile fields of fair Italy were devastated by the hostile armies, this castle was used to confine prisoners, for whom a large ransom was demanded. Hut here, once, deep, deep down in a dungeon excavated in the solid rock, was immured a captive, whom revenge pursued, the dark, fierce, and unrelenting revenge of an Italian heart. The tale of the miserable victim was somewhat as follows:— Yivenzio, young and noble, fearless and brave in battle, the pride of sunny Xaples in her happy hours of peace, was made prisoner of the Tolfi, and languished in that rock-encircled dungeon, whose massive portals never opened twice for liv- ing captive. This dungeon was like a huge cave, for the roof and the floor were composed of iron. High on the wall ran a range of seven large win- dows, closely barred, but admitting light and air. Save these and the heavy doors beneath them, no crevice nor projection marred the smooth, black surface of the walls. An iron bed, softened with a bit of straw, stood in one corner. Beside this a coarse earthen-ware jar of water and a dish of food were placed. Even the haughty spirit of Yivenzio was daunted as he heard the ponderous doors t: iple-locked be- hind him. and the echoing footsteps of the guards dying away in the winding passages. As he lis- tened he seemed to feel that for the last time he had heard the footsteps of mortal man. No more should he breathe the balmy air of his adored Italy. Never again should the smiling earth and the blue sky greet him. Never again should he hear the voices of those he loved. Why was he led hither? To die? But he had just begun to revel in life. If to die, by what means? Starvation? He shuddered to think of it. By murder or secret poison? No. for it would have been needless to lead him there for that. He must, of a surety, be destined to waste long, long years in a captivity so dreary, a solitude so lonely that it would end in- madness or idiocy. He could hope for no mercy at the hands of the Tolfi. Yes, his fate was solitary incarcera- tion to last until reason had lied and the last lin- gering spark of life had expired. It was evening when Yivenzio had entered the cell: night had en- GrecnwooD, ’OS veloped everything in darkness as he paced up and down his ceil revolving these things within him. No bell from church or convent tolled the hour. No voice, near or far, sounded. No footsteps now were heard down the winding passages. His heart sank within him as he lay upon the iron bed. Gradually sleep stole upon him; in his dreams he forgot lie was the Tolfi’s prisoner, and reveled once more among the maids of Italy. It was morning when he awakened. At first he could not collect his senses, so strong was the feeling of disillusion brought about by his dream. But memory soon unveiled the past, while reason Hashed before his eyes the dread future. He lay for a time thinking, and then com- menced to survey his cell. Bright daylight only confirmed what the indistinctness of the night be- fore had merely suggested—the utter impossi- bility of escape. As Yivenzio glanced around, he saw two things that excited his suspicion and in- creased his wonder. 11 is dish of water and plate of food had been removed while he slept, and others, containing better supplies, provided. This was certain, for neither dish was of the same shape or color as that of the night before. How could any- one enter without his knowledge? The second thing was that, on going to bed, he had counted the windows, very carefully, several times; there were seven. He counted them now: only six. He concluded at last that he must have been mis- taken. and so ate his breakfast without any appre- hension. The day passed wearily enough. One thing consoled him. This was the thought of discover- ing who came with his food, and perhaps learning from him the manner of his death. He might bribe the one who brought it. or implore pardon, or even deal a deadly blow, for he was still armed. Evening came, and still Yivenzio remained in ignorance. He must have slept, for when day- light came there was fresh food. He counted the windows. There were five this time. He became convinced that the disappearance of this window was no mistake. What did it all mean? Into what strange and mysteri- ous den had he been cast? In vain he tried to find a solution of the problem. He examined the doors. They had not been opened, for a bit of straw which had lain near them the day before, and which would have been moved by their slightest motion, remained in its original position. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 3 He examined the walls and windows. Xo scam or crack could lie find. In truth, his cell did seem a bit contracted and smaller, but he attributed this to fancy. With intense anxiety he awaited night, resolved not to let sleep again betray him. So he paced up and down his cell, until, as near as he could judge, it was about two o’clock. Then he felt a rush of cold. and. dashing toward the place from whence it came, lie stumbled over his jar of water. He felt a slight, tremulous motion of the floors. It stopped, nor was any sound heard. The cold air ceased quickly, too, and stretching out his hands, he felt himself near the walls. He remained mo- tionless a long time, but nothing more occurred to excite his attention, though he continued to watch diligently.. When the first streaks of rosy dawn were visi- ble through the grated windows. Yivcnzio turned his eyes, hot and inflamed by his night's vigil, with grave apprehension toward the windows. There were four. As daylight penetrated farther and farther into the gloomy dungeon, he saw the jar lie had tripped over lying, broken in pieces, on the ground, while at a small distance from this, nearer the wall, was a new supply of water and food. He was quite certain that some mechanical device must have been used to form an opening in the wall, through which his food was conveyed to him. and. probably, through which had come the blast of air. But how silent it all had been! He ex- amined the walls, and to his sight and touch they appeared one even and uniform surface. He then pounded them with clenched fists, but no re- verberation indicated hollowness. He glanced at the windows. They looked as the seven original did, in that they were placed at very irregular dis- tances in the wall. The huge folding doors stood just in the centre of the four as they had in the centre of the seven. Tis true, the doors looked a little smaller, the roof lower, and the cell con- tracted. but he put that down to visual disturb- ances or perhaps to the effect of solitary confine- ment. In vain, he tried to solve the mystery. He was convinced that this iron cage was the machine of the Prince of Tolfi to produce exquisite torture of mind and body. W hat unheard of misery could this be? Distracted by the dread uncertainty of his impending fate, he sat ruminating hour after hour, until—suddenly a horrible suspicion flashed across his mind. Yes.” lie muttered, glancing wildly around. It is so. Yes. That will be my fate. This roof will descend slowly, slowly, and yonder walls will hem me round and crush me in their iron arms. G thou fiend of Tolfi. is this your revenge?” He threw himself on the ground in an agony of terror. Perspiration stood in large drops on his forehead. He sobbed aloud and breathed direful curses upon the Tolfi. Thus he remained until his fury had well nigh spent itself. The soft shades of twilight had cast their jgloom upon the sorrowing man when he arose. For thirty-six hours neither water nor food had he taken. Now he tasted his food and drank the water, then stag- gered to his iron couch to sleep—perchance to dis- pel his recent, horrible delusions. But his dreams were troubled and mingled with weird, ghastly visions conjured up by his imagination. It was high noon of the fourth day before Yiven- zio shook off the stupor and became conscious of the situation. He turned a wild, despairing gaze toward the windows and beheld only three. He looked at the roof. It was lower than the day be- fore. The contraction of the sides of the cell was too plain to be accounted for by a heated imagina- tion. He wondered by what mechanical device it was contrived that the walls, the roof, and the windows should thus silently fold within each other. hat matchless inhumanity it exhibited to doom a sufferer to such lingering torments. Alone he must perish. Alone he must await the slow- coming torture and bear the excruciating mental and physical suffering. It was not that he feared death. Only the death he must p-cparc for was so uncertain. He glanced at his jar of water. It had ceased to interest him. yet it suggested a means of escape. He could watch, and when the blast of air announced the arrival of a fresh day’s supply, he would give audible expression to his grief. Surely some one might be near who would, per- haps. pity him or. at least, tell him the manner of his death. Night came, and the expected hour approached. Yivcnzio feared almost to breathe lest he should miss hearing any sound that would warn him of the coming event. While thus listening, it occurred to him that if he lay on the iron floor he would be more sensible of the motion, so he lay down and had not been there long when—yes. he was positive the floor moved. He sprang up and screamed aloud. He paused. The motion had ceased. There was no stream of air. All was hushed. No voice answered. lie burst into tears and sank to the ground in renewed anguish. Another morning dawned, and the fatal index of his doom met the wretched prisoner's eyes. Two windows! Only two days and two nights more! Then all would be over. Fresh food, fresh water! The mysterious visit had been paid as usual. The roof of the cell was now within a foot of his head: the walls so contracted that six paces covered the distance between. He shud- 32 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR dcrcd as he gazed. No longer did he give way to groans. With folded arms and clenched teeth, he paced up and down, indulging dark and terrible thoughts. Suddenly above his iron bed, on the wall, he perceived some words inscribed by a human hand. He rushed toward them, and his blood froze as he read: “Tempted bv the gold of the Prince of Tolfi. I spent three years in contriv- ing and executing this triumph of my art. When I had finished it. the Prince of Tolfi led me here one morning to be a witness, as he said, of its per- fection. He had destined me for the first victim lest 1 divulge his secret or repeat this effort of my ingenuity. Miserable wretch that readest this, a few hours and thou shalt have met the vengeance of the Tolfi. T his huge machine will crush you as it did the wretch who made it.” A deep groan burst from Yivcnzio. Hope for- sook him. There, on the wall, stood the dread future unveiled before him. He clutched wildly for some weapon of self-destruction, but restrained himself. Why should 1 take my life? He was but a man, too. who first died in their embrace. I should be much less than a man not to do so. The evening sun was setting over lovely Sicily. It shot its golden beams through the windows of the cell and sent a thrill of joy through the prisoner. It was a precious link that united him with the world beyond. With one bound he leaped to the windows, grasped the bars, and looked out. He saw the sparkling billows of the ocean. the rosy-tinted sky, the setting sun. the olive groves, and the picturesque villas of magnificent Sicily. A cool, evening breeze, laden with fra- grance. swept across his heated check. There was a freshness in everything that fell cn his troubled heart like dew. How he gazed at it all, holding the bars first by one hand, then the other, until exhausted, he fell to the ground and lay there stunned. The sixth, and last morning for Vivenzio dawned through the one solitary window. He scarcely noticed the fact. But lie did note the change his iron bed had undergone. It was a bed no longer, but stood before him. a veritable funeral bier. lie started and in raising himself struck his head against the roof, which was so low tliJtt he could no longer stand up straight. “God’s will be done! was all he said, as he crouched his body upon the bier. For some time he lay in a lethargy, until the tolling of a bell reached his ears. It beat but once, yet it was so close that it seemed to shatter his brain. This was followed by a sudden crash and contraction of the walls. Vivenzio screamed and stretched forth his hands as though to push the massive iron back. He could not move. For more than an hour he remained motionless until another deafening tolling com- menced, followed by a crash. Vivenzio was bent double now. Then the bell began to toll loudly and frequently. Crash followed crash until Yivenzio’s groans were heard no longer; the massive walls and ponderous roof had fallen. Bn XUnpleaeant Experience 36v? Xaurence Colfcwell, 2 ., Tl FRIEND and I set sail immediately after the storm had ceased, and laying tl,e nosc °f our yacht off the beach, O[5!3aE ) we started on a beat down the bay. The water was unusually rough, and the boat’s nosc plunged into the high waves too often for comfort. Still we man- aged to gain. and. by steady beating, we at last ar- rived at our destination alive but wet. As the wind seemed to be freshening again, we stopped but a few minutes. Headed for home, we let out the sail, and, with a fair wind, we ploughed forward. It was not so wet this time, as we were running with the waves, and we enjoyed ourselves im- mensely. Suddenly we heard a faint “hello!” above the whistling of the wind, and looking sea- ward. we saw a small sloop bearing for the beach, dismasted and apparently uncontrollable. We at once put about and beat toward them. Quickly the wrecked boat bore down on us. and almost be- fore we knew it we were exactly in her path. With a cry. I threw the tiller over in a vain at- tempt to escape, but with a crash the bow of the other boat struck 11s, and. like a knife, cut a hole in the side of our boat. Staggering back, she pulled away. In a second our boat was filled and sinking when, luckily, our assailants, driven forward by the wind, again struck us. With cries of thankfulness we grasped her sides and clambered aboard just as our own craft, overcome by this last attack, sank beneath the level of the sea. But now our plight was but little better than be- fore. for we were rushing toward the shore with great speed. We at last struck and were pulled ashore, half dead, by willing hands of those who on the beach had witnessed our adventure. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 33 £bc Christmas Bngel 36 ? Ernest 'em. Gbapin, B.t ’09 O. Your debt has long been overdue. Now you must pay up or I shall fore- close. We are clearing everything up before New Year's,” said Clar- ence Dowlan, crisply, turning away from the worn, bent figure at his side and taking up the desk 'phone. Dowlan was a middle-aged man. tall. lank, and wiry. A square chin, large Roman nose, and high, prominent check bones made his face homely, not to say un- pleasant. The firm set of his thin lips and the cold glitter of Ids gray eyes seemed to indicate re- lentless purpose amounting almost to cruelty. 1 le was feared and disliked by all who came in con- tact with him. People were wont to take a curt dis- missal from him without a word. Rut the man now at his side did not take these words as final. He said falteringly: How much is due alto- get lier? “Er,—two thousand, I believe,” returned the financier over his shoulder. “ 'leven-o-seven-Man- hattan.” The other man rose quietly and left the room. He was bent by toil and trouble at best, but this sudden and unexpected calamity so weighed him down that he appeared an old man. James Ar- nold should have been in his prime had not a life of reverses and discouragements worn him twenty years beyond his age. His faded blue eyes and drooping mouth showed hopeless resignation to an unjust fate. “Two thousand dollars in a week or foreclose,” he murmured, and when we lose this humble home what will become of Mary and the little chicks?” Several years before this time the cashier of the First National Rank had embezzled a large sum, cleverly manipulating accounts so as to throw suspicion on Arnold, the assistant. The poor fellow, young and inexperienced, had been un- able to vindicate himself entirely, and realizing that he had not satisfied the directors, he had made up the deficit himself. To do this he borrowed from the millionaire. Dowlan, mortgaging the grand old family mansion bequeathed him by his father, and also the cottage in which he and his young wife had so hopefully started. At first everything went smoothly. But soon the cost of living mounted higher and higher, he lost his posi- tion at the bank, sickness and accident brought in appalling doctors' bills, and at last the big house was taken over by Dowlan. As the years rolled by, the clouds of trouble seemed t gather darker and darker over poor Arnold’s head. Each sea- son saw the struggle grow harder to keep up. It was with difficulty that he kept his little family alive and housed. Now their only shelter was to be taken from them. Rut this was Christmas Eve. Such gloomy thoughts must yield to the spirit of the hour, lie must show the children, at least, that this was the day of Peace on earth ; good will toward men.” The ideal Christmas scene about him smoothed the wrinkles somewhat from his face, although his heart was still sorely charged. The snow had been falling all day. but toward the last of the afternoon had almost stopped, saving a few big flakes which con- doned to fall as if loth to relinquish their errand of kindness. The streets were decked in a mantle of white, glinting and shimmering in the cold blue gleam of the arc-lights, 'flic telegraph wires, gar- lands of white strung between white poles, and the festoons of icicles about the houses seemed fairy decorations in honor of the day. A full moon cast her pale rays over the landscape, illumining the ghostly shapes of snow-covered buildings, while the silence peculiar to a snowstorm added to the vague sense of awe. Clarence Dowlan. who was plowing home on foot because of stalled car lines did not appreciate this majesty of quiet, nor did he reflect on the beauty of the drifts which encumbered his progress. His whole energy was bent on getting home to a delayed supper and an armchair before the open fire. As he paused on a corner to consider what was the course of least resistance across the street, he was passed by James Arnold, carrying on his shoulders a small evergreen for the young- sters. A sudden impulse seized Dowlan to follow the man : impulsively he yielded to it. Why he should forget the supper and the armchair to pur- sue his hopeless debtor lie did not stop to think, for a force outside himself seemed to lead him on like the Star of the East. Arnold advanced at as rapid a pace as was possi- ble toward what had once been a respectable quar- ter of the city, but which had lately descended somewhat in the social scale. As lie turned the corner of an obscure side street, his step quick- ened and his face brightened. 11 is gaze was di- rected toward a shabby little cottage crowded in between two great tenement houses. 11 is cheery whistle at the gate brought a wan and care-worn, but smiling, woman, surrounded by several rosy cherubs, to the door. The shouts of 34 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR juvenile delight which followed as “Jim skipped lightly up the steps flourishing the young tree, touched a tender spot in DowlanY heart. Hard headed business man of the world though he was, he was most susceptible to the welcome of the sparkling eyes and laughing lips of a little chile .. He. the wealthy and powerful, had yet not as much by a tithe as this penniless father, rich in the love of his family. Dowlan's life had been cinelly darkened by the death of his lovely wife, and later the loss of his tiny daughter had so embittered him that for years he had buried himself in money-making, mercilessly grinding a great fortune out of all who fell into his power. 'This glimpse of domestic happiness, short as it was, roused in the sad onlooker an unhappy long- ing for a life of his own. a real life, not an arti- ficial. dreary existence of eating, sleeping, and working. He realized, with a pang, that he lacked the great essential to peace and happiness, the love of his fellow-mortals. Many such thoughts, mingled with regrets for opportunities which he had wasted, coursed through his mind as he gazed through the curtainless window at the scene of Christmas jollity within. For the parents stilled their despair in order to give the children a merry Christmas Eve. It was not long ere the little heads began to droop, and then the mother bundled them off to Dreamland, leaving Arnold, pale and haggard, collapsed in a rickety chair, lie had worked hard and borne much through the year only to face ruin at the end. At the thought of his dear ones with- out a home the hot tears of manhood found their way to his eyes. “Dood-night, papa. said the little angel of four from the doorway. Ready for the Realm of Slum- ber, she had come as usual for her good-night kiss. Why. oo is c'yin'! With a groan somewhat akin to a sob. Dowlan hurried away. For the picture of this baby girl standing in compassionate surprise at her father’s tears was vividly like the picture he cherished in his memory of his own little daughter saying just what Arnold's baby evidently must have said. On Christinas morning, when Arnold received a present from his creditor in the Shape of a quit- claim cancelling the mortgage, he did not know that it was his Little Sunshine who had won the hard heart of a master of finance. B IRamble in tbe TCloobs 36 ? Hr.ua ft. IRoosa, X., ’to NLY a few rods back from the house where we were staying last summer the deeply-wooded hills of Enfield rose abruptly, with craggy rocks pro- jecting here and there from their steep sides. Merrily one day we scrambled up the steep slopes, over wild straw- berry and blackberry vines, stopping often to pick the ripe fruit; then over briers that pricked our hands and clung persistently to our skirts. The sun from a cloudless sky of blue crept in between the leaves of the green trees as they waved their branches indolently in the light breeze and lighted up the dainty many-colored wild ‘lowers. The air was filled with the sweet songs of the countless birds that flew about among the trees or rose above their tall branches. Often we found it difficult to follow our guide, who, caring little for briers or sharp edges of rocks, made her way easily through the narrow passes, or skipped from stone to stone down some steep descent. At length, however, we came out from the friendly shelter of the woods into the full glare of the sun. Before us a huge rock, like a small mountain, raised its gray mass almost perpendicularly from the mossy banks of the little brook that rippled by its base. Some of the girls were inclined to give up the view from the sum- mit of the rock rather than attempt to climb its steep and almost smooth side. Still, as our guide had not paused at all. we concluded to follow her, and so slowly, carefully, and with much merriment at our frequent mishaps, we persevered until the summit was reached. The view fiom this position was even more beautiful than we had expected. An one side rose dim blue mountain peaks clearly outlined against the sky. Far away in front of us •he spires and steeples of the village churches gleamed brightly in the rays of the sun. and the smoke curled lazily upward from the tall chim- neys. Through the broad meadows to the right flowed a small silver stream. We lingered long, enjoying the beautiful scen- ery. and turned our steps homeward only when the setting sun was lighting up the distant moun- tain peaks with its changing shades of crimson which faded into gold, then gradually turned to a rosy pink. The birds had ceased their tinging, and all sounds were hushed save our own voices as we made our way leisurely back through the deepening twilight. In the gathering dark- ness the branches of the trees cast grotesque shadows across our path, and oftentimes the low shrubbery looked as though some living creature were crouching before us. Till ' SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 35 C vcntv=C vo fllMles bv Stage 36v 5lafc$s IE. Iknowlton, X., '09 TELEPHONE message informed us, just as we were sitting down to breakfast at six o'clock one morn- ing last August, that the stage left the village post-office at. six-thirty. So, hastily swallowing our doughnuts and coffee. and donning our raincoats and rubbers, as it looked like rain, we hurried to the post-office. On arriving there, much out of breath from our rapid walk, we were informed by the postmaster that the stage didn't leave until seven-thirty. At length the rattle of a heavy vehicle outside announced the arrival of the stage, the driver in- forming us in curt sentences that lie could not take us that trip, as the stage was already overloaded. But fortunately we had engaged passage the night before, and this we hastened to tell him. The re- sult was that we were stowed away, my escort and I on the front seat with the driver, and with a Git-up! and a Gee-dap! our journey com- menced. Realizing that we had a long and tedious jour- ney before us we endeavored to pass away the time by talking about the beauties of nature and anything along the road that attracted our atten- tion. The first object of note was the village cemetery, where the cows were peacefully feeding, then the woods, such boundless acres of woodland. Conversation languished, and I thought of my neighbors on the back seat, a lady and two children. In my coat pocket were some pea- nuts: thinking the mother might be more sociable if I could win the favor of the children. I brought them forth and offered a share to the children. They were not refused, and we were soon talking like old acquaintances. To our mutual pleasure. I learned that the lady had a sister who is a teacher in one of the Somerville schools. . A few miles farther on we came to another post- office. the counterpart of the one we had just left, from whose capacious doors came a lady and a gentleman to take the stage. The driver refused. They entreated. There is absolutely no room. said the driver. They would sit on the baggage, anyhow, anywhere, but go they must, said they. Mayor So and So was to give a clambake that af- ternoon to christen his new cottage, and they were promised guests. At length it was settled, my es- cort giving up his seat to the lady, while he and the gentleman sat on a trunk in the back of the stage. The lady proved to be sociably inclined, discoursing about the difficulties of obtaining suita- ble conveyances in the country. She said that next season she would come in her own auto. I felt somewhat overwhelmed, but timidly inquired: Come from where? VVhv, from New Yoark, she said, with an ac- cent indescribable. Our home is white marble. she continued, and this summer we are having it polished. 1 simply could not stand the litter, so we hurried away, but then, we come to Maine each season. My husband's health demands it. Thus she talked on. going from one subject to another with no stops between, until we arrived in the city where we were to change stages. There we were to wait three hours for the ar- rival of the other stage. So we went to the hotel and entered the ladies’ parlor, ''here we found already ensconced in easy chairs a gentleman and a lady of unusually striking appearance. The lady was a typical French woman, small and very dark, but also very gracious, for as we came in and seated ourselves she smiled and bowed to me. re- marking: A disagreeable day for traveling!” 1 he gentleman, also, as I glanced at him. made me a courtly bow. Some foreign count and his lady, thought I. But my imagination played me false, for the lady herself told me that she was a fancy dog breeder, and the gentleman was the keeper of her kennel, and that she had forty-seven dogs now in training for the Boston and New York dog shows. Pleasantly the time passed until the stage came for the last six miles of our journey. Eight pas- sengers clambered into it. each a novelty in his way. An old farmer and his wife from ,Presque Isle, a Salvationist with red whiskers, and a young man dressed in band uniform interested me most. The farmer's wife and I at once became friendly, and as we were passing at one time what I thought was a large field of potatoes I called her attention to it. That a big field of pertaters! said she. That's jist about as big as my kitchen apron! You ought to see my farm, six hundred acres! 'fakes two span o’ horses. Forty acres o’ pertaters planted! The fellow in band uniform laughed, and so did I. Soon we arrived at our destination, where, by the warm fire and cosy tea table, we talked over the happenings of our twenty-two-mile ride by stage. 36 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Dow Darbing flRabe 5oob Cecil ID.

Harding was interested in athletics, but as he was doing four years’ work in three, he had no time for sports. His seeming indifference for any- thing but his studies won him no little unpopular- ity among his schoolmates. Whilst Harding was wrinkling his brow over the ’•language of the past,’’ Alton rushed in and slinging his books into a corner, began, hurriedly, to put on a very muddy and dilapidated sweater. “Coming down to try for the team?” inquired the younger one from the depths of the sweater, which seemed to have strenuous objections to going on. I can’t. Jack,’’ was the reply, I have lots more work than I can do as it is, and so have you for that matter. If you spent half the time on your studies that you spend on your football, you wouldn’t be so------” “Oh, yes! 1 know all that, and be a grind, not for mine; you and your books make me tired. I think you are afraid of getting hurt, that’s what I think.’’ With this Alton went out, slamming the door after him, the echo of his clcated shoes growing less and less on the stone steps. Harding Hushed as he thought over Alton’s hasty words, and while he was pondering over the injustice of the remark, he heard the noise oi some unusual excitement outside. He thrust his head out of the window, and looking down upon the yard beneath, saw small groups of boys stand- ing around and talking angrily. Their attention seemed to be directed towards some point hidden by the angle of the dormitory. Harding strained hard to get a glimpse of the cause of the excite- ment. but failing, he called to one of the boys be- low for information. 1 say. Harding! shouted the youth addressed. Guess what’s up, the Juniors have nailed their class Hag to the Hag-pole on the old tower, and nobody dares take it down.” “Hello. Harding! called another, why don’t you come down and help do something; don’t be a ‘grind.’ ” You fellows don’t seem to be doing much but talk,” said Harding, somewhat curtly, offended bv the appellation “grind.” And as he withdrew his head and closed the window, a great idea sprang into existence within his brain. Quickly drawing off his coat and putting on his sweater and taking down from its place over the mantel one of the two class flags, he thrust it under his sweater, and went out quietly. Harding then made his way along the silent dormitories to the eastern wing of the building where the old tower was. Now in the eye of the Faculty it was a terrible crime to go near the old tower, which was crum- bling with age. and, therefore, declared forbidden ground by the powers that be.” It was not this however, that made the boys leave the gymnasium and football field and stand talking in angry little groups, but it was the large Hag, bearing the numerals '09 that waved serenely from the Hag- staff that caused the excitement and comment. As the halyards had been cut it made the removal of the flag impossible except by hcro’c methods. Of course the Faculty would have it taken down, but what glory would that be for the Sophs, besides it might stay there for days a taunt and a reproach to the entire Sophomore class, until a man could be got from the city to remove it. As Harding pushed back the rusty bolts on the door leading to the tower, he noticed a few bright scratches, showing their recent use. Stepping out on to the tower, which was only a few feet in diameter, he started at once to climb the pole. I larding heard a murmur from below, he knew not whether of encouragement or disapprobation. The pole was thin and decayed, and it swayed with his weight. He could now see all the surrounding country, and the danger of the moment printed the picture indelibly upon his mind. He saw the river wind its way, like a silver ribbon, ftom the distant foothills: the football field beyond the gym, the distance making pygmies of the players; and his schoolmates, little specks on the ground below. A few more pulls, and he was at the top. It was the work of a moment to tear down the flag al- ready there and to replace it with his own. The little square of silk looked pitiably small from below, but as soon as the crowd below saw the numerals IH10, they cheered wildly, and a thrill of pleasure stole over Harding as lie started to descend. As he slid down, he felt faint, his strength sapped by the unusual strain, making it all he could do to hold on. At last when he was about eight feet THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 37 from the bottom, whilst he was preparing to drop, his hands, wet with perspiration, slipped, and lie fell to the roof of the tower, his side striking against the inner edge of the parapet. The pain brought him to for an instant, and he saw a sea of anxious faces peering at him: then he fainted again. When Harding awoke he was lying in bed. It was with an effort that he recalled the events of the afternoon. His head throbbed, and his broken arm pained him terribly. The window was open, and with the after glow of the dying day. the sound of many voices came into the room. They were cheering someone: he strained his ears to listen, and from the yard came the words, made faint by the intervening space, Harding! Harding! ’Kali! ’Rah! ‘Rah! What’s the matter with Hard- ing? He’s all right!” Happy in mind. Harding sank back on his bed, and soon was lost in dreams of heroic deeds to be done in the future. ©banget� IHts ©pinion Be Bessie ll . 5 octoroff, B., ’ll PA,” said six-year-old Louie, ’’do I have to go to school to-day?” This was said with an accent on the have. It was Louie’s fifth day in first grade, and, though he enjoyed school the first few days, he lacked enthusiasm now. His father, trying to be stern, said: Why, Louie, what do you mean? I thought you liked to go to school.’’ “I like to go to school only in the morning. I thought the teacher wouldn’t care if I stayed at home in the afternoon to play conductor and trains with Sydney.” he said, coaxingly. It was dinner time, and Louie, after sitting at the table in thought for some minutes, had asked this question. Sydney was the little boy next door who went to the kindergarten, and did not have to go to school in the afternoon. Louie en- vied Sydney because of this. “Why, just think,” said Louie’s sister, to grow up into a man and not know how to read or write.” Louie didn’t like to have his sister talk as if she was preaching to him, so lie said rather loudly, Well. Fan. I'm going to be a conductor. I don’t have to know how to read or write, only just to ring the bell, and take the fares, and show old ladies where to go, and holler out the streets, and -----” said Lottie, out of breath. “Come, Louie,” said his mother, have your face washed, and get ready for school.” Louie got up from his chair with a sigh. He felt still crosser when, on going out of the house with his hands in his pockets and trying hard to whistle, he saw Sydney sitting on his doorstep with his express-cart, in which sat Minnie. I don’t ‘ave to go to stool,” said Sydney. You ’avc. lie added. Shut up.” said Louie, and walked off. To have Minnie playing with Sydney, when she always played ossey” with him. was very trying on Louie's nerves. Some one seeing Louie’s face when he came home at four o’clock, would hardly believe it was the same Louie who went out of the house after dinner. 1 le ran into the house with a paper in one hand and his cap in the other hand. ()n the paper was a row of sprawling capital As and IVs. Ma, my teacher said I could write better than any boy in the room. Please change my suit and put on my overalls. I’m going to play conductor—and I’m going to school every single day.” abe ©It) Pear B 2 BNtb Farewell. Old Year, a last, a long farewell! Who shall live out the next no tongue can tell!

As softly on its downward way it glides, And in some rocky nook it. stealing, hides. With laughter and with song, then tearful moans. Then, springing into light, with gladder tones It bubbles in the sunlight. At its sides I row wild flowers and grasses on the meads. Again it swiftly flows through country towns, Where busy millers grind the yellow corn, And children, laughing, run along its bank, Or cattle, thirsty, stop to take a drink.

The robin knew it first because she laid, the three little blue eggs; the cherry tree knew it sec- ond because it was there the nest was placed: 1 found it out soon afterward when I was picking cherries, but I kept the affair perfectly quiet since I knew it must be out soon. And I was right, for one morning I heard some excited chirpings as I passed the tree on my way to school, and 1 was correct in my surmise that the eggs had hatched. When I returned. I resolved to see for myself, so I climbed the tree, which so frightened the mother that she left her babies and flew round and round over my head, begging me not to harm her little ones. I soon descended: when she was satisfied that the intruder had left, she returned to the little balls of down, and there was much delightful twit-' tering as the small family was united once more. And this is how it happened that we have had a brood of robins in the same cherry tiee tor so long. 46 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Somerville ibiob, 6; flDalben ibiob, 5. Somerville defeated Malden on Broadway Field November 1) by a score of ( to 5. Considerable interest was attached to the game owing to the fact that Cuddy, who for so many years developed win- ning football and baseball teams at Somerville, is this year coaching Malden High's athletic teams, and Leo Hafford, who was one of Cuddy's,pupils, is now coaching Somerville High. The scoring was all done in the first half: Malden high made the first touchdown. Malden kicked off, and Sharry rushed in ten yards. Somerville could not make its distance and lost the ball on downs. Malden tried a forward pass, but Mixer inter- cepted it. and Somerville carried the ball twenty yards on two rushes. Somerville was penalized fifteen yards for holding, and Sharry kicked. Forg recovered the ball, but Malden got in on a fumble, and in two rushes carried it twenty-five yards, and, aided by offside play on the part of Somerville, brought the ball to the ten-yard line. C. Miner went through the centre for a touchdown. Clark failed to kick the goal. Somerville took posses- sion of the ball on Malden’s twenty-five-yard line, when there was a misunderstanding of signals, and Malden's centre passed the ball over the halfbacks’ heads. Forg recovered it. Mahoney and Sharry ATHLETIC NOTES made ten yards in two rushes, and then Mahoney went through right tackle for a touchdown. When time was called at the end of the first half Somerville had the ball on Malden's five-yard line. In the second half the ball was equally in the possession of both teams, but neither could score.

Somerville lost their chance for the champion- ship of the Interscholastic athletic league when they were defeated by Boston English High by a score of fi to 5. The game was watched by about THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 47 4,000 people, and English High had a large crowd of rooters on the field that kept cheering and sing- ing all the time. The field was not in very good condition, and the players found it difficult to keep on their feet. Rumbling accounted a great deal for Somerville’s defeat. Russ was unable to get one of Upham’s long spirals, and, as a result, Kiley got the ball on Somerville’s forty-five-vard line. Upham again dropped, but instead of a punt, he made a pretty pass to Faulkner, who carried the ball thirty-five yards. On two line plunges Upham was pushed over the goal line for a touchdown. This was in the first half, with but three minutes left to play. Kiley kicked the goal. In the second half Somer- ville started into the game strongly. With a great outburst of speed, combined with excellent line- bucking by Cousens, who was sent in at fullback in place of Russ, Somerville was able to shoot him over the goal line. In the try for a goal, which would have made the teams even. Sharry missed. Somervitlg, after making the touchdown, did not continue its good work. Time and again the Eng- lish High forwards broke through and smashed up plays, toppling the entire interference over with them. Mahoney was the star player for Somerville. Captain Sharry worked hard to land his team a winner. The line-up:— ENGLISH HIGH. SOMERVILLE HIGH. Kiley, l.c........ Nelson, l.t....... Roach, l.g........ Brough, c......... Hagarty, r.g.......

By winning the game, which was the last interscholastic game of the season, Somerville went into the second place in the league, and forced Rindge into third place. Somerville played a brilliant game throughout, and outclassed Rindge. Rindge showed its only flash of strength in the first five minutes of the game, scoring its only touchdown by a series of delayed passes and end runs. After that the team was put on the defence. Rindge’s early score served only to infuse un- usual energy into Somerville’s team, and within the second five minutes of play the Red and Blue players crossed the goal line with end plays, plunges through centre on delayed passes and for- ward passes. It became evident then that Somer- ville was the better team and able easily to score, partly on account of its heavier line and partly oh account of the soft condition of the field, which Somerville’s heavier players were better able to overcome than their opponents, Somerville showed much superior form in its team work and in the maimer in which it ran off its plays. During the two halves nearly a dozen forward passes were successfully worked by Som- erville. while most of those tried by Rindge were intercepted by one of the Somerville ends. Ma- honey. in Somerville’s backfield, was easily the star of the game. He bucked the line for long gains on the delayed pass play, and it was almost impossible to stop him. Howard and Forg proved to be ends who played the game for everything there was in it. Both handled the forward passes well and made many yards after receiving the ball before being downed. Cousens, at fullback, was used when the plav was within scoring distance, and he bucked the centre for five and seven yards, and was a hard player to stop. Mixer, at quarter, ran the team well and made two quarterback runs which netted thirty and thirty-five yards each. Captain Sharry was a good ground-gainer, and was used for end runs, reeling off fifteen, twenty, and thirty yards during the game. For Rindge O'Brien played well, until he was forced to leave the game on account of an injury. Wilson and Carr played well defensively and Cap- tain Christman figured in a number of tackles.

It was agreed that peace and weakness due to defective design, and the reason for not war is the normal condition of nations, that the the defective design was the desire of those who TilK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 53 were to pay for the bridge to have it built for the least possible money. Among the names of the great men who have died during the year, that of W illiam Thomson, Lord Kelvin, will doubtless live longest in history. For a generation Kelvin's has been the greatest name among scientists, and his inventions and con- tributions to human knowledge have been of enor- mous value. The most notable event of the year in naval cir- cles was the sailing from Hampton Roads on De- cember 1G of the great fleet of sixteen battleships and numerous attendant ships for the Pacific ocean. No such powerful fleet was ever assembled before under the American flag, and no such powerful fleet under any flag ever before undertook a distant cruise. The value of this trip as a training for the officers and crew that accompany it cannot be over- estimated, and its reception by our countrymen on the Pacific coast will be most hearty. It is much to be regretted that certain sensational journals have pretended to see in this expedition a menace to a power with whom the United States has ever main- tained the most friendly relations. On the whole, we may look back upon the year that has just closed with a spirit of thankfulness. The country has been generally prosperous: it has enjoyed peace and good government: and more and more justice and morality seem to direct the progress of mankind. We are indebted to Miss Merrill, head of the English department, for the interesting article. “The Whittier Centenary in Whittier Land. From the May Radiator of last year we quote the following words: “Somerville is indeed fortu- nate in securing such a generous gift from Mr. Car- negie. A library in W est Somerville is a blessing that very few residents of that section had ever dreamed of.” ()nly recently, however, has the board of aldermen decided to accept Mr. Carnegie's gift and proceed with the erection of the building. Many have wondered why there should be any delay in the acceptance of such a gift, not realizing perhaps that the care and maintenance of such a li- brary requires the income of a sum of money as large or larger than the original cost of the building itself. We believe that the city government has- acted wisely in this matter, for. as a means of pro- moting education, good libraries arc second only to the schools themselves. The Radiator wishes to impress upon the stu- dent body the importance of attending the debate between the Somerville and Everett High Schools on Friday. January 24, at the Everett High School hall. The question for debate will be: “Resolved, that the Iiritish cabinet system is better adapted to the purposes of Democratic government than the presidential system of the United States.” Somer- ville will uphold the affirmative. Everett the nega- tive. Each school, it is expected, is to present its side of the question in an able and interesting man- ner. Tickets may be obtained from members of the Debating Society at fifteen cents each. The Radiator staff regrets the publication in the December number of a story that was not original.

H. iDarion iTDerrlll OR weeks the newspapers had been giving occasional mention of the ap- proaching Whittier centenary. All through Massachusetts, New Eng- land even, the schools were preparing appropriate exercises. The clergy- man in his study introduced a special paragraph on the poet, or prepared for a Whittier evening instead of the usual service. Dusty ‘‘first editions came down from the shelves of private libraries, or were prominently displayed in the booksellers' windows: everywhere the thought of the great, good man and poet, the 100th anniversary of whose birth was at hand. In Whittier Land, especially, in East Haverhill, his birthplace, and in Amesbury, his home for fifty- six years, all hearts united to do honor to his memory. Nature lent her aid, and the trains, crowded with pilgrims to the common shrine, on the morning of December 17. 1907, moved through a scene which lay white and glorious beneath the winter sun. “No cloud above, no earth below, A universe of sky and snow. At Amesbury the more formal programme of centennial exercises was presented. The severe outlines of the town hall, with its simple decora- tions. befitted the occasion. Ropes of laurel ex- tended over the proscenium arch, groups of Ameri- can flags surrounding the state shield ornamented the rear of the stage and the front of the balcony, while for the ornamentation of the stage front the High School had loaned its magnificent portrait of Mr. Whittier, the work of the artist. Charles E. Davis, of New York, himself a native of Amesbury. A laurel wreath surrounded the portrait. Hon. George 1� . Cate, judge of the Second dis- trict court, in whose family Whittier resided at the Home during the last years ot his life, ably presided. The nation was represented in the exercises by the reading of a letter from President Roosevelt, an eloquent tribute to the “good Quaker poet. The state was represented by Hon. John I). Long, himself a poet, the beloved ex-governor of Massachusetts, and the personal friend of the poet. Mr. Long said in part:— Whittier is the best loved of poets; comparisons are idle. ()thers may be named by the score who in one way or another excel him. Much of his verse in merit of thought or detail of execution will not stand exacting criticism. But, all in all, there is in no other the comfort, the hope, so much of ‘God's love and peace,’ the sweetness of domestic chords, the fusion of plain living and high thinking, the sense of absolute justice, the passionate devo- tion to the rights of every human being, whatever his race or color, creed or station, to freedom and happiness, which is to be found in him. In this simplest of poets and of men the New England spirit found its best expression. He will outlast the others of that famous coterie of fifty years ago, which marked the Golden Age of Ameri- can literature, as Burns will outlive Wordsworth, or Shelley, or Byron. Whittier is our American Burns, but ‘The Cotter's Saturday Night’ falls below the level of ’Snow-Bound' in exquisiteness of poetic tenderness and feeling, and stops at a lower point of exalted spirituality.” Dr. Booker T. Washington represented, as he said, the ten millions of black people to whom Whittier gave, for many years, his sympathy and his energy. He found the occasion a fitting one in which to review the results of Whittier’s work for and faith in the negro. Much that he worked for and hoped for has already taken place. The 10,- 000,000 negroes, in the face of difficulties seem- ingly insurmountable, have accumulated more than $350,000,000 worth of taxable property, have ac- quired nearly half a million homes and farms, have moved forward to that extent that fifty-six per cent, can both read and write the English language, have 10.000 Christian ministers, 24,000 church organiza- tions. and $27,000,000 worth of church property. nitticr’s work was not in vain. Christian civiliza- tion is moving on. not halting or retrograding.” Letters were read from literary friends and ad- mirers of the poet: Mrs. Annie Fields, Edmund Clarence Steadman. Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward, and many others, all voicing the tribute of appreciation. A more personal note in regard to the poet’s character was afforded by the many anecdotes told by those who had known him personally:— TIIK SOMERVILLE RADI TOR “Mrs. Field often urged him to read some of his poems before a Boston audience in aid of charity. She received this reply: ‘Thee asks a miracle from me. Anything within the1 bounds of my possibili- ties I would do. as thee very well knows. Ask me to walk a slack rope from Park-street steeple to the State House dome, but don't ask me to stand up and read my rhymes before a Boston audience. “Mr. Whittier was really a wit. Some comic trifles of his fully equal to Tom Hood's have never seen the open light of day. Perhaps he thought it would detract from his dignity as a reformer to ap- pear as a wit. “The advice of Mr. Whittier was often sought bv opinions of others concerning candidates, and when occasion served giving his own. opinion with rea- sons. infusing his own sense of truth into the minds of his little audience, with plenty of humor and shrewdness, though sometimes shy and silent, even with those who knew him best. ‘Amesbury is go- ing to be a city,' he said once mournfully, but with a twinkle in his eye. 'but 1 shall never be stout enough to be an alderman. ” The warm affection of the people of Amesbury for Mr. Whittier, their sense of loving proprietor- ship in him is well expressed in some verses written over the modest signature, A Neighbor,” and en- titled Ours :— In the north room is the desk at which he wrote “ Snow-Bound.' those who were filling political positions. The late Henry Wilson once said: 'I can rely more safely on the advice of Whittier than on that of any other man in America.’ “When an effort was made to defeat Senator George F. Hoar for a re-election, Mr. Whittier wrote a letter which appeared in the Boston Ad- vertiser, and also wrote to the senator assuring him of his support. After the death of Mr. Whittier, Mr. Hoar said: 'If I could have had but one. the senatorship or the letters of John G. Whittier, I would have chosen the letters.’ “At certain periods of the year Mr. Whittier was sometimes missing from among his friends and his literary labors in Boston, and it would be discov- ered that voting day was at hand at Amesbury. There he might be found, sitting upon a barrel top in somebody’s place of business, listening to the I say it softly to myself, I whisper to the swaying flowers, When lie goes by, ring all your bells ()f perfume, ring, for he is ours.

Uooper ant) Ibarolfc X. lEtbertOge, X., 'OS y X the southeastern part of the Province Pv‘f • of Quebec are many thickly-wooded districts where the unbroken forest stretches for miles. The rapidly-in- creasing demand for lumber, and es- pecially for pulp wood, is responsible for the extensive lumbering operations in this re- gion. Last summer we were camping on one of the most beautiful of the many lakes of this re- gion. situated in the heart of many square miles of forest, owned by a large lumber company. A couple of miles down the lake was a lumber camp, where nearly forty men were engaged in peeling hemlock bark and getting out the logs for next spring’s drive. On the evening of the day following our arrival we received a call from the cook of the camp and several of the lumbermen, who cordially invited us to visit their camp and watch them at their work. We very gladly availed ourselves of the opportu- nity. and after breakfast on the following morning headed our canoe for the lumber camp. Our first visit was to the cook, who regaled us with fresh doughnuts, apologizing, at the same time, for a lack of milk in their composition ; milk is not usually found in a lumber camp. The principal building in the camp was a large mess room, in which were two long tables, on either side of which were benches of the same length. ()pening out of this room was the kitchen, contain- ing a large cook stove, a trough like a laundry tub for mixing bread, a table built against the wall, and shelves for dishes and cooking utensils. Adjoin- ing the kitchen was a storeroom containing several barrels of flour, a barrel of pork, a hogshead of mo- lasses, bags of beans, peas, and potatoes, tubs of butter and lard, and, cooked ready for use, a large box of bread, shelves of dried-apple pies, and a large basket of doughnuts. The cook informed us that he made no less than two bushels of doughnuts at one time. At the other end of the mess room was the sleeping room, the sides of which were oc- cupied by bunks in two tiers. Two or three rods south of the bunk room was a collection of half a dozen bark huts, occupied by those who preferred to sleep out of doors during the warm weather. In the midst of this group a smudge was kept burning THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 57 at night to protect the men from mosquitoes. While at work in the woods they protect them- selves by smearing the face. neck, and hands with a mixture of lard and pine tar. Beyond these bark shelters were the barn and the blacksmith shop. All the buildings were constructed of round logs, chinked with mud and moss. Back of the kitchen the cook had a small, but neatly arranged, garden containing onions, lettuce, radishes, beans, cucum- bers. and potatoes, but principally onions, of which the Frenchmen are inordinately fond. Here, also, was a pigpen, where two large hogs were being fattened for the winter. The remainder of the forenoon was spent about the camp, talking with the cook and an old man who was making axe handles from straight grained ash. He informed us that hand-made handles were very much stronger than those made by machinery, and in fact we saw only those of his make. Rather small they were, but of usual length. Between 11 and 12 o’clock the men came in from the woods, a rather hard-looking lot. all French, although some were able to speak tolerable Eng- lish. One of them asked us as he passed. You look for job? Another spoke to us in French, which we did not understand, whereupon he said, “Parlcz-vous francais? YVe were obliged to an- swer. Nous ne parlous pas le francais. Monsieur. While we were talking with a man who could speak English fairly well, the cook appeared at the door with a large spoon and a dish pan. and rang the dinner bell. The men lost no time in getting to the table, where they proceeded to stow away the good things that the cook had prepared during their ab- sence. They ate off of enameled iron plates, with steel knives and forks, and drank their tea from tin cups. The teapot itself was of enameled iron, and would hold from three to four gallons. The dinner consisted of pea soup, made of whole peas, baked beans, thick slices of salt pork, both raw and cooked until transparent. With this were served thick slices of white bread and black tea. 'Hie second course consisted of doughnuts, dried- apple pies, and boiled rice, which was eaten with thick, black molasses. After they had finished eating they smoked and rested for an hour. When they were all gathered in front of the house, we took a group of the crowd. We ate our dinner with the cook and his assistant, while the men discussed the operation of the camera and doubtless also its operators. The men were about to start for the woods again when we came outside. In groups of two or three they started out along the road again to fell the trees. We were invited bv the boss to accompany him and observe the real business of the camp. We had perhaps gone a quarter of a mile with him, when we came upon two of the men about to fell a huge hemlock about three feet in diameter and 120 feet high, hirst the bark was scored with an axe a short dis- tance from the ground, and again at a point four feet higher. The bark was then removed from this section with huge steel chisels called spuds. The men then proceeded to saw through the trunk of the tree with a long, slender crosscut saw. After they had cut in some distance, steel wedges were driven into the cut where the saw first entered to prevent it from binding. When the tree had been nearly cut through, one of the handles of the saw was detached and the saw drawn out. The uncut portion of the trunk, that is, on the side towards which the tree was to fall, was then attacked with an axe until the tree was entirely severed or the tree came down. The tree leaned slightly toward the north, so that some time before the men had chopped into the saw cut the tree began to sway slightly, and soon an almost imper- ceptible motion of the trunk could be seen. Look- ing upward from our safe refuge behind a neigh- boring tree, we saw the top of the doomed monarch slowly and majestically sweeping across the sky with ever-increasing velocity, accompanied by the whip-like crack of the fibres in the unsevered part of the trunk. Pile huge tree top crashed through the smaller growth, bearing destruction in its path, till with a thunderous roar that shook the very ground the noble tree lay prostrate before us. The men now proceeded to chop away the branches, after which the bark was scored at every four feet, and the work of removing it with the spuds was begun. While the lumbermen were thus engaged, we occupied ourselves endeavoring to find the age of the tree. We counted 337 rings of annual growth. As the bark was removed, it was leaned against the trunk to dry. Subsequently it will be piled in some neighboring place convenient for the teams that will draw it to the railroad. Such a tree as that just described will furnish about one and a quarter cords of bark, worth at the rail- road $-1 per cord. This bark was to be consigned to a Boston dealer, where it will be used to tan leather. On the wav back to camp the boss told us that after the peeling season is over the lumbermen saw the trunks into logs twelve feet, four inches long. These logs will make only twelve-foot boards: the extra four inches is allowed for shrink- age and waste at the mills. As soon as the winter roads arc ready for travel, the logs are drawn to the lake, where they await the spring freshet. Then on the swollen river they are sent down to the mill. 5« THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR So Easv, Bfter HU m m. %. flDaulsbg, X., ’OS m jrvF.i 'j k 1 has amused me very much to read the articles in the various magazines about how a family of five or six can live on any sum from $700 to $1,500 a year, and to notice the self-com- placent tone of these articles, as much as to say: Well. 1 guess there are very few people as smart as I am in running a household! Now I don't wish to appear conceited myself: and it is with all true modestv that I sav that not one of these people has reduced living to the science that I have. Wouldn't they be surprised to hear that my family of five persons lives comfortably upon an annual income of $450! Vet this is the plain, unadulterated fact, and we don't have any rich relations, either, who give us our house rent free, and present us with money every little while. Our family consistsof my husband and myself and three children, all boys, ranging in age from twelve to seventeen. We live in our own house in one of the suburbs of Boston. Our house costs us $100 a year; but it wouldn’t cost us that if it wasn't for the tax bills and the repairs. Blit then, what is a mere bagatelle of $100 to a family with $450 to draw from! All our money is earned by my eldest son, who works in a bank and gets $0 a week. My husband is a semi-invalid, so we cannot expect him to sup- port the family, since his health does not permit any indoor employment, and he has not the physique for any outdoor trade. Nevertheless, he helps in his way. He is a great lover of baseball, and as there are two professional teams in Boston, there is a game going on practically every day dur- ing the season. My husband holds the proud record of not hav- ing missed a ball game in this city for five years But as it is one of our cardinal principles not to do anything unless there is money in it. we regard his time as well spent, for he always wagers on the games, and he knows so much about it that he nearly always wins. In the past five years there has not been a year he has made less than $35, and his average is $50. Of course we would not think of using this money for household expenses. Certainly not! We divide it equally; one-half goes to the church (we are all regular church-goers), and the other half we spend for amusements. We believe with Horace Fletcher in the matter of food: that is, eat what you want when you want it: never eat unless you are hungry, and masticate all food thorough. We are blessed in re- spect to our neighbors, for there are several gar- dens near our home, and it is a poor day indeed when our younger sons cannot pick up enough for at least one meal. So our grocery bills amount to only $200 a year. Of course they are lower in the summer than in the winter, because in the latter season there is not the opportunity to annex vegetables and fruit that there is in the summer; but then, one can always borrow, and it is a bad neighbor, in truth, who ever expects to be repaid! For house furnishings we spend approximately $50 a year; sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. We think we have reduced the price of fuel to a minimum. We spend $10 a year for charcoal in bulk, with which we start our fires. A bushel of coal a week from the Salvation Army makes us a good fire on Sundays for broiling or roasting. The rest of the time we depend for cooking and heating on the wood the boys find around the new houses which are constantly being built in our vicinity For clothing, also, we spend practically nothing, $10 apiece, or in all $50 a year. We are on the Salvation Army free list in regard to clothing, as well as fuel, and every month finds us the recipient of no end of good things to wear. Whenever the boys want anything else, they earn the money for it themselves shoveling snow, putting out ash bar- rels. or, in fact, any way to turn an honest penny. We take a daily paper, and belong to a magazine club which supplies us with all the current maga- zines; but these, together with car fare, and oil, and all the other incidentals, amount to only $40 a year. My elder son rides to and from his work on a bicycle, and that helps a little. Now how simple it is, after all! We have every- thing we want to eat and to wear (of course, this last with limitations), and we move in the best of society, and all on an income of $450 a year. It seems incredible, doesn't it? But, remember, what man has done man can do,” and cheer up! If you can’t make money in any other way, there is quite a field, as yet quite undeveloped, with a few exceptions, in writing articles like this. It pavs, really!

It was the custom of Mrs. Read to gather her four grandchildren with her in the sit- ting room about the open fireplace for a half-hour every night after sup- per. and to tell them a story. The children had asked for a Valentine story that night, and Alice, the oldest, had pleaded for a really, truly one. At the death of her husband about three years be- fore. Mrs. Read had come to live with her daughter in her comfortable, old-fashioned house. The story room, as it was called by the children, was taste- fully furnished in red. and had a wonderful fireplace tiled with pictures from Shakespeare and the llible. Usually the grandmother picked out one of the tiles for the theme of her story, but to-night the children had asked for a Valentine story. Pleathc. dramma. pleathe,” echoed Archie, the four-year-old. The white-haired lady sat for a moment silently rocking in her big armchair: then, taking Archie into her lap, she began :— My dears. I am going to tell you the story of a valentine which meant a great deal to your grand- father and me. When I was eighteen years old and your grandfather twenty-one. we became en- gaged. and were happily looking forward to our marriage. Philip, for that was your grandfather’s name, my dears, was cashier in my father s bank in Ralston, which was the name of the town in which I lived at that time. Philip received a fair salary for those days, and by saving so much every month, we hoped to be able to have enough so that we might be married in a couple of years. One night Philip and I had planned to go to a dance. “Why, grandma! interposed ten-year-old Jane, “did you ever go to dances? Why. certainly. Jane, but if you interrupt 1 can- not tell my story.” I he old lady continued: It happened that Philip had a great deal of work to do that day. and it was with great difficulty and much haste that he was able to finish in time to escort me to the dance. He hurriedly put a sum of $5.000 info the safe, and a few papers, among which was a mortgage, which a certain Mr. White had taken out that day on his house. The next morning after the dance, when Philip opened the safe, lie discovered with horror that the money which he had put in the night before was not where it should be. He madly tore out one thing after another in search for the $5.000, but could find it nowhere. What was the poor fellow to do? Should he tell my father all that he knew about it? That would bring him nothing but accusation, for my father was a hard, unrelenting man. The only other thing to do was to go away from that part of the country without any delay. Hut Philip was too much a man to commit such a cowardly act: he would make a straightforward statement to my father and stand his chances. My father had the rheumatism very badly that morning, and consequently was in an unusually bad humor. Philip waited until my father had removed his coat and hat. and then, with an ashen face, made his appearance. ‘“Well, young man. what do you want? Speak up!' my father gruffly asked. Philip then told him how he had hurried through his work the night before, but had, as lie thought, locked the papers and money, as usual, in the safe, and that the $5,000 could not be found. My father, who had chosen a richer fellow than Philip for me to marry, was very glad of the chance to be rid of Philip, and so lie said in his hard, cut- ting tone: Tm sorry, young man. but the bank has not been paying well of late, and we cannot afford to lose that amount of money. You were the last to leave the bank, and suspicion rests upon you. 1 will give you just twenty-four hours to either find the money or leave this town.’ Philip was stunned. 1 le sat as though senseless for about five minutes, and then set to work with mad haste to find the missing sum. Me ransacked the drawer where the money was kept in the day- time. again hauled everything over in the safe, looked through the waste basket, and even pulled up the rugs.—in short, he hunted high and low. but all to no avail. At length the poor fellow sat down thoroughly disheartened. He could not bring him- self to see me. so wrote the following:— “‘Dear Mary: 1 have been unjustly accused of stealing money, and am obliged to leave the town. You are released from your engagement. I can- not ask you to marry an outcast. I beg of you not to write me until T have been proven innocent. In 6o Till-: SOMERVILLE RADIATOR that case, send word to my uncle, Mr. George Webb, Thurston, N. J. I will keep him informed as to my whereabouts. ‘Ever your devoted 'Philip When 1 received this I fell in a dead faint, and as I had a great deal of faith in Philip’s constancy, the whole affair preyed upon my mind, so that my health began to be affected by it. My father wor- ried about me so that he was willing to do almost anything to restore me to health. One day about three months after Philip’s departure, just three days before Valentine’s Day. as I was think- ing about the valentine Philip and I usually ex- changed, and wondering where Philip was, my father came hurriedly up the stairs and, bursting into my room, cried: ‘Good news for vou. Mary! Philip is innocent! The money is found, and I will make you two a present of it, if we can only find the boy. White paid off his mortgage to-day. and the money was inside his note in the safe Immediately rushing to my desk and seizing writing paper. I quickly wrote Philip, telling him all. and offering myself as his valentine for life. Phis letter reached Philip on Valentine's morning, and immediately setting out for Ralston, he arrived about 8 o’clock in the evening. What a welcome sound when I heard him coming up the steps, for I knew his footsteps, you see. I did not wait for him to ring the bell. but. throwing open the door, fell into his arms, crying: ‘O Philip, my Valen- tine !’ ” I he old lady had finished, and the tears glistened on little Archie's golden curls.

The great toy store had lain in darkness for some time, when sud- denly the stillness was broken by a shrill whistle from the toy saw-mill. As if at a signal, the great room hummed with the sound of voices, and all the inhabitants began to move about and stretch themselves out of the cramped positions into which they had been thrown by would-be purchasers. Lights flashed in the doll-houses, wnere fancy-dress parties must have been in progress, for there were confused medleys of Parisian beauties, nursemaids, sombre Puritans, and peasants from all countries. In the working district there was a great clatter of tools, while just beyond the circus drew large crowds. In a distant corner a collection of broken toys whiled away the time until they should be thrown into the rubbish barrel by telling their ex- periences of the day. “Oh. dear!’’ sighed a dainty doll dressed in blue, “to think that my arms should fall off just as that nice little girl was going to buy me! I know that she would have made a good mother, and so many don’t.” Well.” piped up a jumping-jack. I had such a fright! A terrible child came along to where I was looking out of my box, and banged my head down with such a thump that mv nose broke off when it hit the side of the box. When he saw what he had done, he wouldn't take me. Oh, I'm so thankful for my broken nose!” Not far from here an exciting scene was being enacted. Two tin soldiers were having a vigorous fist-fi gilt, brought on by the resentment of one to the taunts of the other that, when wound up, he could walk the farthest. I loth fought well, urged (.n by rheir companions, until the starter of the quarrel fell senseless by a blow from his assailant. I he crowd, dismayed by the serious result of the contention, rted back to. their tables with much rat- tling of tin. just as a toy policeman appeared in sight from behind a counter, where, safe from dis- turbances. he had been sleeping his time away, much after the reputed manner of policemen of the human race. At that moment, however, just as the first gray of dawn was appearing in the sky, the whistle on the saw-mill again sounded its shrill signal, and the policeman hastened back to his shelf. At the same instant there was a grand scurrying throughout the whole room, followed by an unbroken silence. When the watchman came through a few min- utes later, he saw only show-cases filled with dolls with painted and changeless smiles, shelves of me- chanical toys, and piles of miscellaneous playthings, left in heaps by the customers. When lie came to the senseless tin soldier lying on the floor, lie picked him up with an opinion as to how he came there which was far from the truth. SB’ ii Tin: SOVIERVILEE RADIATOR 61 H Xonc ©al? Bnon. the summit of Prospect Hill stands an old oak, its branches gnarled and wide-spreading, its trunk hoary with years. It is doubtful if any one knows its exact age: indeed, it is not noted abroad as an historical tree, but it is my fancy that it has seen many years roll by, and witnessed many scenes long since past. Behind it rise the spires of numerous churches, and off against the horizon the tower of old Memo- rial. the corner-stone of Harvard University, rears itself. 1'arther east stand the Blue Hills, sharply defined behind its top, and near at hand lies Boston, replete with work and play. During the summer my old giant is cool and leafy, a noble monument of living green. On a June morning, fully as soon as the sun rises, the birds in its branches awake, and fill the air with their glad carols. Robins, and at times a bright oriole, a none too frequent visitor to the hot city, find a home in the old tree, and delight to sing their songs of praise, and dig for fat worms in the greensward beneath. At noon, in the heat of the day. passersbv, coming over the hill, stop a moment under the shadow of the oak, and are refreshed by the welcome shade. The leaves droop in the heat, and like buttercups hang their heads, but at sunset, when the cool breeze comes wafted in from the sea, they spring up again, and are all a-quiver with life. And this sunset! How glorious the old tree looks, black against the crimson splendor of the sky. like some old warrior standing alone unharmed on the bloody field of battle. As the sunset fades, and the twinkling stars peep out, the slender crescent of the new moon wends its way downward through the sky, and the lofty landlord, erect and watchful through the night, guards his feathered Hock till the new day comes. Mv tree is no more beautiful in summer than in the cold, white winter. Then the morning light re- veals it wrapped in a covering of snow, its limbs laden with Nature’s beautiful garment, and icicles hanging from its frosty fingers. The paths, the greensward of the summer, the whole landscape is white and pure, and glistens in the winter sunshine. Under it the boys now build their snow-forts, and exciting battles are fought with shining snowballs. Manv a pelt the old tree receives, but it does not nuumur. On the contrary, it chuckles inwardly at the sport, and. at an opportune moment, shakes its high branches, and sends down a shower of Hakes upon the lads beneath. In the evening, when the young people bring out their sleds and coasters, and the hill below is alive with a throng of merry- makers. the old tree sighs in its heart, and wishes that it. too, might join in the sport. Sometimes in the cold winter, when the devastat- ing blizzard sweeps over the land, the old oak creaks and groans under its weight of ice, and bends low before the mighty storm king. Then, after the storm has abated, and the sun shines forth and frees the ice-bound branches, it again stands erect and noble, victorious in defeat. So the seasons pass over it ; in the spring the resurrection: in the fall the apparent death. In the spring the budding leaves and sprouting branches; in the autumn the frost and falling leaves. And still it lives on. an emblem of strength and might. Think of the many scenes this old forest patriarch must have witnessed! On the very hill where it stands General Washington was once encamped with his troops, awaiting the approach of the British from the heights of Boston. There the first Ameri- can llag was unfurled to the breezes. If. then a mere sapling, it was a silent spectator of the event, what joy must have thrilled it! The hasty pudding party, too; perhaps it witnessed this merry scene, when Whigs and Tories together held the great, festival. In recent years a massive stone tower has been , erected on the site, to commemorate the brave deeds of yore, and the grounds have been cultivated and beautified, leaving the old oak in all its glory alone on the green turf. Every day it looks down from its height upon the busy life of school and col- lege students, and secs the ever-changing scenery of the great city beneath it. What does the future hold for it to view' What will then be its possible outlook upon life? Xo one can tell. Its past and its present are ever before us, but of its future we can only surmise. But let us hope that it will live to see many improvements made and much good done, both for mankind and for the world. 62 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR tin 'Unbeliever ■Raymond XU.

Harold Chase. Fred was eleven years old. rather short for his age. and by a strange coincidence was fitted to his name. 11 is cousin was two years younger, and much more slender. Fred’s superior age caused him to be looked up to by his younger cousin, who often sought advice from him. On this particular occasion Harold, who lived a quarter of a mile away, had come to invite I 'red over to his house for the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Chase were to be away, and the boys could have a “bang-up time together. Fred's milking done, his mother gave him permission to go, on condition that he should return bv ten. and the bo vs started off. The first of the evening was spent in playing games. They soon became tired of this, however, and turned to some interesting storybooks of Harold’s. Fred was presently deep in an exciting ghost story, after having placed his watch on a nearby table, where he could easily see when to go. Finally Harold broke the silence by saying: “Fred, do you believe in ghosts?” “No, of course not. replied Fred wisely, the idea, is nothing but a silly superstition. “But.” persisted Harold, wouldn't you be just a little scared it’ you should see something that looked like one? “Why, no, how silly! he replied, more wisely than before. I tell you. there is no such thing.” bred had just become deeply absorbed again in his story, when ten loud strokes burst from the clock on the mantel.

His course lay through a deep wood, and but for the moonlight, which came slantingly through the trees, it would have been verv dark. When he had gone about half the distance. Fred suddenly re- membered leaving his watch on the table at Harold’s house, and turned back for it. What was it that startled him so? Back a little way was a human form. It was white. It was moving toward him. It took Fred but a second to comprehend this, and to start his short, fat legs homeward as fast as they could go. Instantly that evening’s story Hooded to his mind. In vain he tried to in- crease his speed. Hark! he could hear the stealthy step of the Thing: and—yes, sure enough, there came from behind weird sounds. Oh, would he be compelled to die here in the woods at the hands of this 'riling? His knees seemed about to give way, when his father’s house came in view. Could he finish? Only a few steps! A piercing shriek re- sounded through the air when, on his own door- steps. Fred’s collar was seized by a pair of hands! What’s your hurry, old man? Here’s your watch, announced Harold Chase. Fred didn’t believe in ghosts—oh, no—but some- how he felt rather foolish. ----------------------------- B Gruc £3tor Rutb H. .iGcwler, £., ’10 am deep down in the dungeon of Despair.

Every time she gets a call it lasts so long.” “I know it! chorused Helen, Ruth, and Mae in assent. Well,” spoke up Gertie, “if she is called up we shall only have to sit and wait for her return. 1 know we shall have a right jolly good time, anyway, spoke up Lill, the pet of the club. As yet Edith had not spoken. She sat on a stool off in a corner, apparently in deep thought. Well,” asked Mae, “what is my little girl think- ing of? Well,” answered Edith, 1 was just thinking that Grace will leave us for good soon. What! cried they at once.

And yes, said another, the party can't wait, and he can and the theatre can. Oh. isn’t he mean to take you away from us to- night ! Why. in about eight months he will have you for good! said Edith. And after going to all this trouble, and sneak- ing here and fixing up the room, to have him call you off! And now we can't have the party. Well, said Grace, what is all this about?

A spirit in our midst abode, Soon War s wild music filled the land. A champion, risking life and limb. And fields of fight were won and lost.

The burthen of an evil time '1 hat grieved men's souls with forfeit pledge; The task, t’ assail a nation's crime With weapon of celestial edge. For still a son of Peace was he. Servant and master of the lyre: All bloodless must his warfare be. Launched all in love, his bolts of fire. Such victories are given to song As slaughter never may achieve, When the rapt soul is wooed from wrong Some heavenly lessons to receive. I saw him when the locks that crown Fair youth were heaped above his brow; His eyes like lustrous jewels shone. The trifler's world they did not know. Feathered as from an angel's wing The arrows of his quiver flew, A thrill of sorrow they might bring, A wound, and vet a balsam, too. And many were the days of dole Before the bitter strife could cease. But ever that anointed soul Dwelt in its citadel of Peace. 1 hence, like an anthem rising clear Rang out the poet's helpful word. Melodious messages of cheer Above the battle din were heard. And years of labor came and went. But ere he passed the bound of Fate His days were crowned with high content; I le saw his land regenerate. ‘ Methought that from the Poet’s grave A whisper thrilled the ear. that said: Surrender not his music brave.

We feel as though in some degree it was re- lated to us. It is an extremely good paper. The exchange column in the Lowell High School Review is exceptionally good. SOME DEFINITIONS. 1.

Adams street. Somerville. A large number of the former members were present, in spite of the se- vere storm. The first hour was spent socially, the acting members receiving, and the guests renewing old acquaintances. Mrs. Emma Prichard Hadley then read several very enjoyable selections, and Miss Marian Bunker, one of the past members of the club, rendered some very delightful vocal selections. Miss Marian Lovering, one of the active members, was her ac- companist. Light refreshments were then served, after which all gathered informally around the piano and sang the popular songs of the day. The evening was pronounced by all a great success. tiii: Somerville radiator 65 5. Q. ID. Club The annual S. (). M. show will take place on March I?, and will this year be in the form of vaudeville. The sketches are mostly in the nature of comedy, and are all original, being written by members of the club. Several songs have been written by Ralph Barstow, the composer of the well-known S. (). M. song, and these will probably be rendered by a quartette of the club fellows. In order to satisfy the desire of those who dance, a dance will be held after the show. Leroy Fitz- herbert is business manager, and Ralph Barstow is stage director. The S. (). M. Club is the oldest existing club in the Somerville Knglish High School, and has had a very prosperous career. The club was formed in the class of 19,03. and now contains members, not only from every class since then, but has many members from the business world. Tech. Prince- ton, Tufts. Dartmouth, and Harvard have repre- sentatives in the S. O. M. Club. The rehearsals for the show have already commenced, and every- thing points towards a grand success for the 1908 show. ---------------------------- Club motes A new club has recently been formed by some of the members of the Latin and English Schools.

Fifteen members of the fraternity were present, and spent a very pleasant evening, aided by the ’’witty remarks of the toast- master. Edmund A. Arnold. The after-dinner speeches were very interesting, as all those present looked on the serious side as well as the social side of life. Howard Y. Poor, a present member of the faculty of the Somerville English High School, and David Wheeler. a late member of the same faculty, were guests of honor, and again turned boys and entered into the spirit of the occasion.

How glad we arc to hear that Bertie McLean has been reconciled to his implacable enemy. Looey Giroux! And tins is how it happened, as our friend Ray Lester so aptly put it: You all remem- ber that rainy day in the Christmas vacation? Well, when Bert got up that morning, he stuck his head out of the window to see what the weather was. As he was gazing intently at the falling rain- drops. behold. Giroux's head appeared from his bedroom window on the opposite side of the street. In the excitement of the moment, Mac forgot their recent quarrel, and shouted: “Gee!

Mr. Jordan has been elected class photographer at Emer- son College at least once, and he has always offered special rates to Emerson students. Artistically, the work of Mr. Jordan is of a high order; it speaks for itself, and cannot be surpassed. But it is not of the work of the Jordan Studios we wish to speak in particular, but of the kindness of its managers and the attention shown us as a college. This is in a way not often met in business, and is therefore all the more pleasant to encounter; it makes one feel as though getting photographed were not an unpleasant duty, like going to the dentist, but a pleasant half-hour spen with some one anxious to please, and who makes business interesting and the results most satisfactory.

'II 78 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Hit 'li risb Cragcttv By? iDgron X. fcarlow, ’OS was Mike that went to work that morning, and Mike that toiled hard during that day until at ( o’clock he laid aside his patched overalls, and smoothed down his red hair, which had been covered with a small, dirty cap. Mike’s vocation was slamming home bar- rel hoops, but Michael’s avocation was far from that. That night it was a dinner party, and Michael with all his glory was to sit beside Patrick and hear the Hon. John Kilarcy make his “foirst spache.’’ Mike hurried home and proceeded to dress him- self in his still shirt, high collar, and his claw- hammer cutaway coat. His vest was checked with green dots, and of course his necktie was of the same vernal color. He nearly scratched the shine on his shoes when his silver-headed cane fell down. After he had put on his tall silk hat and had drawn on his kid gloves, Mr. Michael was complete, but Mike was on the inside. It was a summer night, when twilight is length- ened until about S o’clock. The evening sun lighted up the dull landscape, and nature was nest- ling into the quiet of night. Michael thought everything beautiful, but lie had few sentimental thoughts, though the atmosphere was quite suited to that. I le only thought of his Mai.y a moment, and wondered what she might be about at that time. Then his thoughts were of the dinner. Although Michael had plenty of time to reach his destination, he thought he would go a round- about way across lots. He would go through the golf links, and from there on to the main road. Retween the links and Michael’s home was a large marsh. This was very moist and muddy in places. Some one for his own accommodation, for very few people passed that way. had built a narrow foot- path across this swamp. It was only a foot and a half wide, about a hundred feet long, and placed on small piles three or four feet above the marshy ground. Across this Michael must go. As he started across, he could no longer gaze about, for he had to walk carefully over the narrow boards, with his eyes lowered. He did not notice that some one had started to cross from the other side, and was groping along with equal carefulness, blindness, and with deeper thoughts. So the two walked towards each other until they came quite near, when Michael heard the steps. He looked up. There stood Mary, with her red tam-o’-shanter tipped on her head, holding some golf sticks in her hands, and altogether taking up three passagewavs. It is true thet Mary was fat,, but her roguish smile, and friendly frankness, and witty boldness had tickled Michael’s heart. Mary, also, looked up. and so greatly aston- ished was she to see Mr. Michael looming up before her that she dropped her golf sticks, blushing in her excitement, and hanging her head with open mouth in the manner of unpleasant surprise. Michael stopped short. His cane fell with a splash and a thud without his knowing it He gazed at her with open eyes for the moment. He couldn’t speak, and he couldn't swallow over his high collar. His first thoughts were that he couldn’t get around her. but his gallantry got ahead of his eves and brains when he saw her goif sticks fall. ’’Why!—Mary! Rless your heart, you’ve a drop’t'd somethin'. For sure and a gintleman that I am will hand yer thim.” Mr. Michael, forgetting everything, jumped from the walk onto a piece of green turf in the marsh, surrounded by wet mud and brackish water. The turf quivered and tiddled, and Michael did the same thing, only in an opposite direction. Alas! his hat toppled him over, and Mr. Michael followed one of his boots to the bottom, but he fastened his other leg to the turf. There he straddled the mud, stir- ring it ui) with his claw-hammer. A little bit of “Mike’s” language got loose, but Mr. Michael was aware that Mary was nearby. Goif sticks weren’t on his mind now; he was sinking in the water. Mary threw tip her hands in horror. Mr. Michael, with a flurry and a splash in the flying mud and watery soot, made a leap towards the foot-bridge in an endeavor to pull Mike from Mr. Michael’s predicament. Rut for Mike’s big feet, which had never walked on such soft pads as they did now, and Mike’s short arms and red head. Mr. Michael might have succeeded in grasping the foot-walk. Mike waded up to his waist and made another fling, this time grasping the boards. Mary grabbed him by the arms in a ticklish spot, crying, “Michael? get out!” Rut Mike yelled. “Get out!” Just then the foot-path broke, and Mary tumbled down into the mud with it. When Mike got the mud out of his eves, he saw Mary half on the ruined walk, with her eyes closed. She had fainted. Mike was half THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 79 buried, but lie had sense enough to find some of Mary s senses for her. He let himself down into the mud again, the water trying to fill up his boots which his feet occupied. He rolled Mary on to the walk, which now lay on top of the mud. but was sinking, little by little. Mike realized it. The mo- ment he got Marv on the boards, he got up there himself, and, as big as Mary was, he carried her over the slumping bridge to the part which was not broken. Mike says that at this time in two ways Mary came to. too. He also says he was very much relieved. He saw Mary smiling at him. and, turning his back. he.saw his hat and cane in the mud. It was an Irishman's duty to sec Marv home that night, and Mike did it. The consequence of Mike’s pulling Mary and the foot-walk over and Mary's knocking Mr. Michael into the marsh was that not long afterwards they were married. He wore the same green necktie to the wedding, that was not at all spotted in the tragedy. Mike says it was what saved them, and it certainly was a tie that made the matrimonial knot. Che tXlrcch of tbc Jason 36B G. IE. IROlmes, IE., '00 ALF a mile north of .iie Pamet River life-saving station lies all that remains of the Jason, whose wreck in 181)3 was one of the worst that ever occurred on the back of Cape Cod. The only part of the vessel now visible is that portion of the hull which lies between the mizzen- mast and stern. There it has lain for fourteen years, scarcely a quarter of a mile from shore, a melancholy warning to passing vessels, and a sad example of the puny strength of human work com- pared with the force of the elements. As one listens to the history of the Jason, whose wreck occurred within one day’s sail of Boston, its destination, after a most unfortunate voyage from Calcutta, lasting more than eighteen months, he must think of the doctrine of Nemesis, the pursu- ing fate. The Jason was a steel ship, launched at Glasgow in 1888. Her home port was Plymouth. England, whence her captain and most of her crew- hailed. In April. 1891. the Jason left Calcutta with a cargo of jute. When scarcely a month out, she suddenly encountered a typhoon of such violence in the Indian ocean that before sail could be taken in the mizzenmast and maintopmast were carried away. In this crippled condition the captain man- aged with great difficulty to put into Zanzibar for repairs. So numerous were the necessary repairs before the trip around the Cape of Good Hope could be attempted that it was April of the follow- ing year (1893) before the voyage was resumed. There was now a passenger on board—the son of a minister living in Truro. England. Accompanied by fair wind and pleasant weather, she rounded the Cape of Good Hope toward the end of July, 'flic voyage north to the equator was accomplished without difficulty, and the crew were beginning to plan how they would spend Thanksgiving. They soon saw that their hope of passing that day on shore would not be realized, for from the time they left the tropics until, on November 25, they sighted the Bermudas, the Jason was buffeted by high winds and heavy seas. The twenty-fifth was the last that any of those aboard, with one exception, saw the sun, for on the next day they were envel- oped by fog. It was impossible for the captain to take any observation, and as he approached land his anxiety and perplexity increased. At noon on December 5 he decided to alter his course toward shore to obtain some bearings by which to sail. Meanwhile the wind began to rise front the south- east. and the weather thickened. Gradually the wind veered into the northeast, so that at 3 o’clock a gale was howling through the rigging of the ves- sel, accompanied by a smothering snowstorm. Suddenly, to the captain’s intense horror, on his coming to deck at dusk he saw the crest of a wave break a quarter of a mile off his lee-bow, and on closer examination discerned the beach a short dis- tance away. So thunderstruck was he that he stood for almost a minute, in spite of the intense danger of the ship’s position, motionless: on com- ing on deck he had believed himself still fifteen miles from shore. The mistake made, nothing re- mained but to repair it. 'The captain had two al- ternatives: To turn and run before the gale, incur- 8o THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR ring a great loss of time and cold weather, for which his crew was unprepared; oi to attempt to beat away from the deadly shore towards which every wave was carrying him. He chose the sec- ond. Could the captain beat up the shore for thirty miles to Highland Light, he and his honor were safe; here the land falls away to the west- ward. giving more leeway. Stubbornly did the captain battle with the elements to correct his mis- take. and nobly did the vessel aid him in his at- tempt : indeed, it seemed for a while that he would succeed, but fate had determined otherwise. Meanwhile the captain of the Monomoy Point Station recognized the danger in which the vessel lay. and signaled to the captain. Then, deeming it impossible for the vessel to keep out of the breakers very long, he telephoned to the various stations along the route to be on the lookout for the vessel, and to be in readiness to lend aid. The life-savers were mistaken, however: at dusk the violence of the wind and waves was becoming more appalling, angered apparently by their disappoint- ment at losing the prey, which was now standing nearly a mile off shore, and seemed to be success- fully evading them. At «S o’clock the Jason was sighted off Cahoon’s Hollow Station, so close in- shore now that the crew at the station thought she would strike at any moment. At If o’clock, when within six miles of the point around which lay the road to safety, while shifting tacks, the vessel caught aback, and before any effort could be made to sworp her round, she struck. She was discovered almost immediately by the life-savers of the Pamet River Station. High Head and Cahoon’s Hollow Station were telephoned for assistance, and while waiting for its arrival, the crew of the Pamet River Station got their lifeboat and apparatus out on the beach. Five minutes after she struck, the foremost part of the ship was broken off and swept from the stern, a distance of several hundred feet separating them. Sea after sea broke over parts of the hull, washing away bulwarks, skylights, and crates, and adding them to the stream of wreckage now extending be- tween the beach and the hull, among which now began to appear large, black objects—bales of jute, which issued from the hold. The wreck was so close to shore that the life-savers could make use of the breeches buoy: as the crew could be seen in the fore-rigging, their chief at- tention was paid to the foremost portion of the wreck. Twenty-four attempts made to accomplish this were unsuccessful. Meanwhile the other crews had arrived, and after making attempts to launch a lifeboat, to save the boat from being demolished by the strength of the sea, the project was aban- doned as impossible. While the life-savers battled with the sea, they watched with attention the ob- jects in the rigging, for whose lives they were struggling with the sea. Twenty-four were counted when the life-savers first appeared on the beach, but as sea after sea swept over the vessel, the number decreased until, when their champions had become exhausted and discouraged, but five re- mained. The anguish that filled the hearts of these brave men when they saw five of their fellow-beings at the mercy of the sea, and knew that they were powerless to aid them, cannot be described. Their task now lay. since they could not reach the men, in patroling the beach and attempting to resuscitate any bodies which they might find along the beach. During the entire night the beach was patroled, yet when morning broke dull and cold, but one body had been found—that being the passenger, who was discovered clinging, in a semi-conscious condition, to a bale of jute to which he owed his deliverance. This was the only one among the twenty-six men who were in the ship who was ever found. The vessel and cargo were a total loss. The fore part of the wreck disappeared during a winter’s gale in 1895; the stern, however, is in the same position as when it struck on the edge of the bar on the wild December night. Few people have any conception of the force of the wind and sea during a winter’s gale. During the gale of 1 Si S many tons of coal were thrown up on the beach, after having been buried so long a time that it had become as green as copper. Dur- ing the same storm, bar cod weighing from twenty- five to fifty pounds were thrown up on the beach. This is nothing extraordinary, occurring often in light storms, but these fish had been pounded upon the sand until their flesh had become permeated with it. Another illustration of the force of the wind is this: A three-master was lying in Prov- incetown harbor, when a storm arose, so violent that, even sheltered as she was. her cable broke, and. becoming unmanageable, she ran into a wharf with such force, although she was under bare poles, that she cut through the wharf like paper. Sand greatly harasses life-savers, as much, perhaps, as tiie sea itself, for. blown along the beach at a rate of from fifty to seventy-five miles an hour, it is im- possible to face the unprotected. On their patrols life-savers arc obliged to wear goggles to protect their eyes. On windy nights it is a very common oc- currence for the sand to grind them to such a de- gree as to render them opaque durvig a trip. Under TUB SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 81 such conditions of elements, the life-savers faced the sea on the night of December . During the period of time that the hull of the Jason has lain on its side in the sand, a number of fierce gales have increased the number of vessels that have found their grave on the sand bars of the Cape; only the heroic work of the life-savers has prevented greater loss of life. On November 8. 1892, the bark Kate Harding came ashore, and on an exceptional high sea was thrown upon the beach, so that the crew landed by simply using ropes to reach the beach from the vessel's deck. When the storm abated it was possible to walk completely around the boat. On such an occasion the life- savers have little to do. but in the case of the wreck of the Katie J. Barrett, which came ashore at Orleans in 1890, the sea was too rough to enable the life-savers to launch a boat, and yet the wreck was too far to be reached by a shot. After many futile attempts to launch the boat, they went to Orleans Harbor and launched a lifeboat, crossed the harbor after great difficulty, and saved the cap- tain and a crew of nine men. During July and August life-saving stations are closed, as wrecks occur but seldom at this time of the year. The British schooner Walter Miller was an example of such, however, coming ashore at N’anset Bar dur- ing a dense fog in July. No one was on duty ex- cept the captain. He organized a crew among the villagers, and succeeded in saving the crew by means of the breeches buoy. The vessel was floated and towed to Boston in a leaking condition. fhe time when the trip from Boston to New York and Southern cities will no longer be danger- ous, whatever the weather conditions, is rapidly approaching. First, the number of life-savers is increasing, and their equipment is improving year by year, thus enabling them to combat with the fury of the sea with a greater chance of success. Second, a movement is on foot to prohibit the tow- ing of barges; thousands of tons of coal and many lives are lost annually by the breakage of the tow- ing hawser, resulting in the barges, nearly helpless, alone, being blown out to sea or ashore. Third, when the Cape Cod canal is finished, the notorious Race Point, Peaked Hill Bars. Monomoy Point, and the Nantucket Shoals will cease to inspire awe in the hearts of sailors, who. during, the entire trip from Boston to New York, will be in a land-locked space. 'I'lie chief danger in coastwise shipping has been encountered by New York and Philadelphia, whose course keeps them near shore : accordingly, these are the vessels which will profit most by the canal. Fourth, the reliable storm signals now es- tablished along our coast give vessels ample time to seek shelter. I he greatest danger is incurred by offshore vessels coming in, meeting a gale, and being blown ashore. I'lie Jason was an example of such a case. 'I'he only aid for such vessels is the numerous lighthouses, fog horns, and bell- buoys. added to the vigilance of their captains and that of the life-savers. flfcv Iftonv By? iDanon ibale, X., ’os 11 ERE lie was at last, gazing at us out of large, gentle eyes, as if wondering 1 who we were and what we wanted of him. He certainly was a little beauty, fitted out with his brand-new saddle and bridle. Yes, there he stood ready for us to jump on and ride. Ride him! That is very easy to say and sounds attractive, but I had had enough experience to know that there was something more to riding than jumping on his back and letting vourself lie jounced up and down at will. Never- theless I did not know just how to help myself. The only thing to do. however, was to learn. So 1 proceeded to try. Putting my foot in the stirrup and giving a little spring, I managed to get on, a little awkwardly, I’m afraid, for the pony turned his head, as much as to say. W hat can that be getting on my back. I’d like to know?” but it was perhaps not so bad for a first try. I picked up the reins, gave him a little touch with the whip, and off we went on a brisk trot. Yc did not go very far. however, as it was hard work to keep my weight in the right place. 1 would always lift up at the wrong time and come down hard in the saddle as it was coming up. When I got back every one was laughing at me except my father, for he was the only one who knew how to ride. He got on to show me how. Oh. how easy it looked as he trotted off! When he returned I got on again, for I would not give up. This time it went better, and I gradually began to 82 TfIK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR get hold of the idea, and had quite a fine little trot. I y this time my father said that it was long enough for the first trial. I hated to stop., but my legs and hack began to feel the effects of the exercise, and I knew it was best to rest. Some part of each day I tried riding him. and soon I felt that 1 knew how to ride pretty well. I learned to trot, because it is necessary to trot some- times. but the easiest riding was on a lope. He had such a nice lope, too, so gentle and even. Xo one who has never ridden horseback knows what great sport it is. and good exercise, too, equal to walking, and, I think, much better. Oh, what fun it is to race along on the back of a pony, feeling his steady little legs under you, and know- ing that you are perfectly safe! My pony could go fast, too, when he wanted to, but we soon found out he was very lazy. The smart fellow soon learned, however, just who meant business. When my little brother got on him he would play all kinds of pranks, would trot when lie felt like it. and when he got tired would stop and walk. When I rode him he went much better, generally on the lope, only now and then falling into a trot. But when he felt my father on his back he knew what to ex- pect, and would start right off on a lope, and would never think of stopping unless my father checked him. I lardly a day passed during the summer that I did not go off on a long ride. My favorite time was just after supper, during the long, cool twilights of the middle West, so much longer and brighter than those of the East, or even of the far West. 1 had many a fine ride that summer, but at last it was time for me to go away. The day before I was to leave. I started out for my last ride. It was cool and clear, except for some heavy clouds in the west, but I did not pay much attention to them. I went in a direction I had never been before. I had always enjoyed walk- ing in unknown places, but riding completely out- shadows it. We both felt fine, and went racing over the ground happily. On and on we went, up hill and down, past fields and fields of grain and corn. We came to a pretty little lake which 1 had never seen before or even known of. The pony hesitated, as he always did before crossing a bridge, but a little touch of’the whip recalled him. and he went on without stopping. Just beyond the bridge was a hill, and while we were walking up. I had time to notice that heavy clouds were rising in back of us. and that soon it would begin to rain. At first 1 didn't know what to do. 1 didn’t want to go back the same way. and I thought we must surely come soon to a cross road leading back to the part of the country I knew. Moreover, inasmuch as I should get wet anyway before 1 could possibly get home, I might as well keep on and have some fun out of it. So I rode on, think- ing that around the next bend I should see the road I wanted. We passed the first bend, and then the second, but still no road. Just around the next bend, however, I thought I saw something which looked like it. Yes, there it was. but here was the rain, also, for two or three large drops fell on my face. But this was no place to stop; so we went on, although the road was rough and looked as if it were hardly ever used. In one place a great rock lay in the middle of the road. There was no way to go around; we had to go over it. Just then more drops rolled down my neck to urge haste. I spoke to the pony, and up we went with very little difficulty. On and on we went, faster and faster, as the steadily-increasing drops made him long for his barn and measure of oats. Now it began to pour. I looked eagerly ahead for an overhanging tree to find shelter for a short time under its branches, but none appeared. Soon I was filled with a vague fear that perhaps the road didn't lead anywhere, and that we should fin- ally be stopped by a fence. Looking ahead from the top of a hill. I could see where the road lay. Yes, this was just the road I had expected, and we were almost at its end. As though urged on by the sight of goal, the pony's little legs went faster and faster. Down in the hollow some cows were graz- ing. Frightened, they lied before us. and when thev reached the cross roads ran off in the opposite direction. I'm afraid their owners had a hard time finding them that night. Ye were now quite a way from home : the road, though, was on the level, and the rain had almost stopped. We soorr reached home, wet, to be sure, but I would not have given up that ride, had I known we should be twice as wet. This was my last ride that summer, but he is out West, getting lazier and fatter in his good pasture, waiting for me to take him for a great many more long rides. Very pleasant they are to me. at least, even if not so much so to that lazy, lazv pony. TIIE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 83 S Clip to tbc EUjabetb Copper flIMne, Strafforb, IDermont B Burt H.

At first the en- tire attention was directed to the production of copperas, a mineral used for coloring purposes and for disinfectants. Later large masses of copper were found, and since then it has been worked al- most exclusively for copper. At present nearly half a million of dollars is being expended in im- provements. such as modern smelters, an electric power plant, a traction road, and an electrical con- centration plant. Arriving at the mine. I was led to the entrance of the tunnel, where the superintendent bade me climb into one of the ore cars which was going into the mine. Seated in the bottom of the car. we rode about 2.200 feet in the darkness, lighted only by the dim light of a miner's candle. I y tins feeble light I could see that the walls were of solid rock, except near the mouth of the tunnel, where the loose earth was supported by large timbers. Upon reaching the field of active mining. I was shown a vein of low-grade copper ore, claimed to contain about four per cent, of copper and to have a width of sixty feet. The balance of the material of the vein is made up of stone, iron, sulphur, and slight traces of gold and silver. The iron is worthless for com- mercial purposes, as is also the sulphur. At the point where the miners were at work there was a large cavern where the ore had been taken out, and overhead near the wall was a hole in the roof called a stope hole. Through this could be seen other miners at work on another level, the ore which they mined coming down through this stope hole to the main tunnel. From here it is trammed out in small cars holding about a ton. After look- ing about, seeing the compressed air-drills at work and the large bodies of ore. I followed one of these cars out. and was then shown further working of the mine. At the crushing and sorting mill the cars, filled with ore, coming out of the mine are run in at the top of the building and dumped on to a grizzly. This grizzly is made of iron bars placed about an inch and a half apart and on an incline. All the smaller ore sifts down between these bars to the sorting belt below, but the larger pieces slide over the grizzly to the crushing floor beneath. The large pieces are then passed through the crusher and dropped to a moving belt below, beside which sorters stand. These men, as the ore passes before them, pick out the worthless ore and stone, and the good ore. passing along, is dumped into a car and sent to the roasting beds. This ore. as 1 said before, contains about forty per cent, of sulphur, and the most economical wav of getting rid of the greater portion is by means of the roasting beds. These are about sixty feet long by thirty feet wide. In forming them, a foundation of wood a foot thick is first laid, then the ore is dumped or piled on this wood to a depth of about six feet. The wood is then set on fire, and the sul- phur is ignited and left to burn as long as it will, usually from two to three months. The sulphur fumes which arise from these roasting beds arc very poisonous to vegetation, consequently there is nothing of a vegetable nature growing within a third of a mile. The fumes arc so strong that they nearly suffocate one standing near, and so, although examining them as much as I desired, I did not care to stay near them long. There were many of these ore beds either in the process of construction, already burning, or entirely burned out. The ore after having been roasted is again loaded into cars and taken to the smelter. Here, too,, the cars are run in at the top of the building, and the ore is dumped into bins, where before being smelted the necessary fluxes are added. 'The ore has been assayed, so when it gets to the smelter the engineer in charge knows just what fluxes are needed, that is to say. he knows just what materials will cause a perfect separation of the metal from the ore. This flux, which may consist of lime, silica, raw ore. or low-grade matte, all or any of them, is mixed with the ore. This is then dropped through an opening in the top of the fur- nace. the fuel, which is coke, having previously 84 THE SOM HR VILLE RADIATOR been put in. 'I lie beat from the fuel is greatly in- creased by an air blast forced into the furnace. As the ore is melted, the copper and other metals settle, while the slag, consisting of a portion of the sulphur, iron, melted stone, and ashes, remains at the top. ()n the sides of the furnace arc several tap-holes at different heights, which are plugged with soft clay when not in use. The clay is used because it is easily forced into these tap-holes, where the intense heat immediately hardens it into brick, and also because it is easily broken out by the tapping irons when necessary to draw off either slag or matte. The tap-holes arc above tlie line of the copper, but so placed that the slag can be drawn off. This slag when heated almost to a white heat is run into slag-pots, very heavy iron receptacles, which look like immense ladles on wheels. Here it is left until a crust is formed, and then it is wheeled out to the dump. In falling, the crust is broken, and the red-hot liquid flows down the in- cline a molten stream like lava. At the lowest ex- tremity of the furnace there is another tap-hole, through which the copper matte is drawn. This matte is an impure product of copper ores, contain- ing sulphur. This is also drawn off into metal-pots very similar to the slag-pots. Here it is left until thorouginy cooled. The matte thus obtained contains about twenty- five per cent, of copper, and is as far as the process of purifying is carried out here. This matter is finally sent to the converter plants in New Jersey, wnerc the pure copper ingots are made. Have there been accidents at the mine? Pre- sumably yes, but I heard nothing of them, although one of the oldest miners related to me several in- teresting incidents. In the early sixties there were large numbers of Cornish miners employed, who. besides being intemperate, had violent tem- pers. At frequent intervals there were quarrels, and one Saturday night one of the miners was killed. The next morning the sheriff was sum- moned. but the suspected miner had disappeared. The townspeople were then called out to make a search of the surrounding country, and the excite- ment was great. After several days, the culprit was found half-starved in a deserted sugar camp, lie was later tried, but sufficient proof could not be found to condemn him. and he was adowed to go free. My story-teller cited several cases of like character, but asserted that he had never known of a conviction. Hn Intcmiptcb Wall? J6p riDarion X. Smith, X., ’OS T was a beautiful summer day. Far across the white-capped waters of the bay the distant mountains lay faintly outlined on the horizon, the nearer ones with their bluish slopes forming a pleasing background for the many scattered islands. Across the river, where it wid- ened into the bay, was a green shore dotted with farmhouses, and here and there a little white church with its slender spire. (hit in the stream, swinging with the tide, lay the barges, some newly arrived, high out of the water, and others with their loads of plaster and lumber awaiting the tug which would take them to their destination. Though elsewhere the day was sultry, the breeze blowing in over the water was so refreshing that it did not require much effort to walk along over the smooth sand. Above the beach rose high sandstone cliffs, in many places crumbling or hol- lowed out by the water. It was easy to imagine robbers lurking in some of the gloomy caves. In one place was a high tower of rock standing en- tirely separated from the cliff of which the year be- fore it had formed a part, and in another a fiat, table-like rock was being gradually undermined by the force of the waves dashing against it. Each year some change takes place and some old land- mark is washed away. Not at all disturbed by this, however, the swallows continue to hollow out their nests in the top of the cliff, and these, with the oc- casional flocks of sand-pipers flying like clouds over the beach and water, were the only signs of life as we walked along. It was not to be so long. As we loitered close to the water's edge, looking for shells and skipping stones, we suddenly discovered a small object on the sand which attracted our attention. It was an odd creature, with a prominent head, very large eyes, and a rather oval body, from which in all di- rections extended dreadful tentacles. Had it been larger it would certainly have excited some fear. As it was, however, there was only curiosity as to THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR «5 what it might he. Many brilliant suggestions were made which did not show a remarkable knowledge of the subject, blit at length it was decided that the cieature was a cuttlefish. Hardly had this decision been reached, when our attention was attracted by a commotion in the water near a large rock which we had passed not long before. Hastening to this, we climbed to its summit and looked over the edge into the water. At first all was quiet. Then suddenly something shot through the water below us. closely followed by another creature. The pursuer gained rapidly on his victim: we were breathlessly waiting for the attack, when they were suddenly hidden by a dark liquid which spread over the water. There fol- lowed a great thrashing, when all at once a long, slender body shot upward, about which clung some tentacles belonging to an animal like the one which we had found on the shore. Its victim was an eel. It made a brave defence, lashing the water on all sides as it tried to free itself from those clinging arms that were twined about it. but from the begin- ning escape seemed hopeless. Several times it succeeded in escaping from its captor, and made desperate attempts to reach a place of safety, but in vain. Every time those arms reaching out over the water succeeded in grasping it. and the struggle would be renewed. The water soon became so dark that it was difficult to see them as they fought, except when they neared the shore. Farther and farther along the shore they went in their unequal struggle, but the eel was constantly becoming weaker, and there was little doubt as to the outcome. Then, just as the cuttle- fish had wound his tentacles about the head of the eel. an immense wave caught both, and with all its force dashed them against a large rock, separating one from the other. When the wave receded, neither could be seen. We never knew the fate of the poor eel that had so bravely defended his life against such a powerful and dreadful enemy. Ebe lltigbt Boat m Mabel m. TWUlber, X., '09 T the dock of the new turbine steamer all is excitement. It is G.45 p. m., and the boat is destined to leave at L Just fifteen minutes! To an excited youngster like me, it seems as though the whole population of Boston were trying to board the boat in these fifteen minutes. Now a fussy old lady conies fearfully down the gangplank, worrying about everything from the whereabouts of her baggage to the angle of her hat: now a middle-aged woman with two boys of about four and seven, who, in their short transit from wharf to boat, do their best to fall overboard : and now at the very last minute a young man conies flying down the pier, with hat in one hand and dresvs suit case in the other, evidently just from work. The deck-hand's relentless call of ‘'All ashore that’s goin’ ashore!’’ rings out. and amid a flutter of handkerchiefs and shouting of last good- bvs, the ship, large as coastwise steamers go, moves off. An inexpressible sigh either of relief or of antici- pation seems to rise from the voyagers, and those who are not afraid of seasickness scatter over the decks to enjoy the sail down the harbor. It is a pretty sail, in spite of the evidences of the city’s work-a-day life which we meet on all sides. Over the retreating city the sun hangs like a ball of fire. Slowly it sinks out of sight. 1 he rosy rays change to purple, and finally fade into the gathering dusk. On board all is bright and merry. Myriads of lights shine out. and the sounds of laughter drown the swish of the rather heavy sea. ()n the rear deck, especially, hilarious spirits seem to have gath- ered. In one corner an elderly gentleman is trying to play a flute with more or less success (chiefly less), urged on by the plaudits of the surrounding group. By the opposite rail a party of young fol- lows running in opposition are singing the last song they can possibly remember, and are preparing to begin at the head of the list again, blissfully ignor- ing the fact that they have already sung through their repertory three times. But now a negro en- tertainer puts in an appearance, and effectually ousts the rivals in the space of two minutes. He begins by successfully executing a Highland fling to the accompaniment of the flute-player, and winds up by imitating a locomotive with the aid of a lighted cigar which he stows away in his mouth. But did I say that all is bright on board? Let me except the forward deck. There darkness, the more intense bv contrast to the rear deck, reigns supreme, and all is quiet, save for tee slight mur- [ Continued on | a«e] 86 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR We gladly welcome the following new ex- changes: The Red and Black.

Civics Class Uisit State 1bouse The members of the Senior class in the English School enjoyed what was, perhaps, their best lesson in civics this year on Thursday. February I k when by invitation of Representative Charles L. Under- hill. of Somerville, they visited the State House. The party, to the number of one hundred, ac- companied by Headmaster Avery, were joined at the Winter Hill station by Mr. Underhill, and pro- ceeded by special car to Boston; thence to the State House. In the Senate ( hamber and 11 'ill of Representa- tives they watched the progress of various bills by steps familiar to them on the printed page. Later they were shown through other portions of the State House, and various points of historic interest, not omitting the venerable codfish were pointed out to them. Stopping at last beneath the battle flags, they listened to their histo-.y, then saluted the flag and joined in singing America. The dignified law-makers seemed to find not unwel- come the visit of the youthful students of civics, and even the “pictured lips ’ upon the walls smiled approval at the enthusiastic embryo citizens.

Overhead the blue dome of the heavens is dotted with millions of stars, while here and there fleecy clouds drift lazily along, pil- ing up on the eastern horizon in dense banks. Un- derneath the heaving billows seethe and roll, re- minding me of some restless soul reaching and striving for something which it car. never attain. There is a slight stir, and the attention of the watchers is directed towards the east. A slight sil- very radiance shows that the moon is rising. Des- perately it fights the black clouds: slowly it comes into view, only to be lost again. Finally, with one last struggle it rises above them and pours its light over the rolling waters. A sigh of admiration rises from the travelers: strains of music float forward from the rear deck, and the steamer plunges on- ward into the darkness. 1852 1908 FOR BEST RESULTS TUFTS COLLEGE (Accepted b.v the Carnegie Foundation) FREDERICK W.

Mr. Jordan has been elected class photographer at Emer- son College at least once, and he has always offered special rates to Emerson students. Artistically, the work of Mr, Jordan is of a high order; it speaks for itself, and cannot be surpassed. But it is not of the work of the Jordan Studios we wish to speak in particular, but of the kindness of its managers and the attention shown us as a college. This is in a way not often met in business, and is therefore all the more pleasant to encounter; it makes one feel as though getting photographed were not an unpleasant duty, like going to the dentist, but a pleasant half-hour spent with some one anxious to please, and who makes business interesting and the results most satisfactory.

O. Immedi- ately the signal for the fire drill was sounded, and the teachers led their pupils down stairs to the outer door, which could not be opened, either because it was locked, or because it opened inward and was held shut by the crowd pressing against it. Here in the narrow hallway more than half of the three hundred and twenty pupils of the school were killed either by fire or by being rushed by the crowd pouring down the stairs. We believe that the laws of Massachusetts de- mand that all schoolhouse doors shall open out- wards. We do not know whether there is any law concerning the locking of the doors; but plainly, during school hours no exit door should be locked in such a manner that it may not be unlocked and opened, from the inside, at least, by the ordinary turning of the regular door knob. Printed direc- tions of how to open a locked door in case of fire may be conspicuously displayed, or certain persons may be delegated to attend to the doors, but all these things are liable to fail in emergencies. To expect a panic-stricken crowd to do anything more than they have always been in the habit of doing is to invite a repetition of the Collinwood horror. k. p. r As previously stated, the present issue of the Radiator has been made an Alumni number. We arc greatly indebted to those graduates of the schools who have assisted us by their contributions in the preparation of this number. The custom of calling upon the alumni for the material for at least one issue of the Radiator is one that ought to be continued. Such a custom cannot fail to be of ad- vantage both to the schools and to their graduates. Let every graduate of the school feel that though he has received a diploma, he is still interested in their progress and ready to do all in his power for their welfare. v r I he approval of our readers is very gratifying to the Radiator staff. We have striven earnestly and constantly to keep our expenditures within our in- come. and to present to our readers the best paper that our income will allow. In the former attempt we have been entirely successful; the Radiator is paying its way. The fact that our subscribers ap- prove of the paper seems to indicate that we have succeeded in getting out a paper that compares favorably with the Radiator of other years, when it has not paid its way. We wish to thank our loyal supporters, and to urge them to help us by inducing others to buy the school publication. p p. The remodeling of the Latin High building two years ago necessitated the removal of the 'marble tablet in the lower hall opposite the main entrance commemorating the construction of the building in 1S72. Before being replaced upon the wall, it was unfortunately knocked over and broken. Recently, however, it has been repaired and placed upon the side wall of the vestibule, where once again those who enter its doors may read the names of the men responsible for the erection of the building. p, p p p.

Garrison, X., '04 ; iU.t ’OS Carl Peter Muchoften. a lineal de- scendant of the notorious baron of similar name, and a member of the famous Hookworms, commonly called Tubs, do now. for the first time, publish this true and faithful account of a wonderful adventure which once be- fell me in Egypt. 1 had gone forth one afternoon, in company with other tourists, to see the pyramids, and had found them less awe-inspiring than I had expected. That evening 1 sat late at the card table, and after de- positing my winnings in two barrels in the hotel office, I sallied forth to cool my fevered brow under the wonderful constellations which urged the Egyp- tians first to study astronomy. My walk led me toward the pyramids, and I was agreeably surprised to find that they appeared to far greater advantage by moonlight than by the glaring light of the day. As 1 gazed dreamily at the great pyramid, I became aware of an opening showing black against its white side. Being a for- mer newspaper man, 1 at once investigated, and dis- covered a doorway about six feet high, leading into the pyramid. Armed with my silver-plated match box. I entered the doorway. By a liberal use of matches, I found my way toward the centre of the great monument. About thirty feet in I came to a division of the passage and halted, not knowing which branch to pursue. My cogitation was brought to an abrupt end by feeling the match burn my fingers. I dropped it and reached for another. With a curious mixture of fright and amusement. I found that my match safe was as bare as Mother Hubbard’s cupboard. I began to censure myself for losing so much sleep, and decided that the sooner I was back at the hotel, the more I should enjov telling about my adventure. Cautiously - 1 turned in the darkness and retraced my steps. Ten, twenty, thirty feet I went: then stopped. 1 should have reached the door, but there was no sign of one. I took a few more steps and stopped. The humor of the situation began to pall upon me. 1 turned round, ran back a few feet, and bumped into a wall. Then mv self-possession left me. and 1 ran to and fro. stumbling and colliding with walls, until suddenly I stepped upon a slippery rock and slid down, down------- The cold water into which I splashed restored my self-possession, and I swam round for some time to get my bearings. I found myself in a cir- cular pool about twelve feet in diameter and of un- known depth. The walls were perpendicular save in one place. Here a narrow gutter led upward at an angle of about sixty degrees. It was by this gut- ter that I had entered the pool, and I soon realized that I must leave by the same way. if. indeed, I left at all. I racked my brains for some time to dis- cover some means of climbing the slippery incline. I endeavored to remember some event in '’The World's I Iistory which 1 could use as a precedent, for History, like a poor speaker, repeats itself.” Aften ten hours' thinking I remembered that I had once been kept after school for some childish prank, and. as a punishment, had written one hun- dred times. Constant dripping will wear a stone.” Swimming about, I found my pith helmet, which had been dislodged by my submergence when I first struck the water. It was floating still, fortu- nately. Hilling it with water, 1 reached as far as possible up the gutter, and let the water drip from the helmet upon the stone. It happened that the water was hard and the stone soft, so 1 made good progress, and in two days' time I wore a hollow in the stone, by means of which I drew myself up out of the water. In a similar manner I made other holes farther up the gutter, and in eight days reached the top. I then took my belt in six inches and slept for a day or two. On awakening, 1 de- cided that I must have a light to find my way about with. Going back over The World's History.” I remembered that Prometheus brought fire from the sun by means of pith enclosed in a reed. ‘'Enter the pith helmet!” cried I. Taking my knife, I cut the helmet into a long, thin strip. Then, scratch- ing my knife upon the stone wall, I endeavored to catch the resulting spark upon the pith. After fourteen hours' labor. I succeeded, and after blow- ing upon the spark gently, I had the satisfaction of seeing it—go out. Not being a swearing man, it took me only ten minutes to express my opinion of this mishap. After the echoes had died away. I tried again, and after three days work I got the pith lit. I then explored the pyramid thoroughly. Anv one who cares to learn the results of my ex- 102 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR ploration can do so by consulting the thirty-fourth Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institute, volume twenty-three. On the morning of the twentieth day, as nearly as I could judge, I awoke to find the passageway lit up rather brightly. The pith was smouldering, as usual (it was nearly burned up by this time), but there was some other source of light. It seemed to come from above. Madly rushing up the nine hun- dred and sixty-three steps which led to the attic. I saw an opening through which the daylight was streaming. Nearly blinded by the strong light, I rushed toward the orifice, fearing lest it might close before I reached it. It did not. On the contrary. I tripped as I went through it. and turned hand- springs and cart-wheels to the foot of the pyramid. W hen I regained consciousness in the hospital at Cairo.

Zhc English School debating Society J6 j 1b. IE. .ISabbitt, IE., '07 11E present debating society of the English High School was organized on November 28, 1905, by Miss M. Helen Teele, with the assistance of the members of the class of 1900. Hardly was the society formed when a letter was received from the Portsmouth (N. II.) High School challenging Somerville to a joint de- bate. Somerville declined, of course, but the fact of receiving the challenge gave new zest to work of organization. A mass meeting was held in the assembly hall the following week for the purpose of adopting the constitution which in the meantime had been drawn up, and for formulating further the plans of the so- ciety. At this meeting, January 10. 1900. there were so many applications for membership that it was con- sidered expedient to admit only the three upper classes. Walter Pilcher, a Freshman, protested so strongly against this in a remarkably good im- promptu speech that it was decided to admit any student connected with the English High School, the membership of the society being restricted to fifty. It was decided to hold our first debate in Room 19 January 31, 1900. Meetings were held regularly every other week, and many amusing incidents occurred during the speaking. At one meeting the relative values of men and women were being discussed, the girls up- holding the women and the boys the men. The discussion grew warm, as was usually the case. when some one referred to the story of Adam and Eve. showing that Adam could not get along with- out a woman. This argument was too much for one of the boys, who hastily arose, and. at his wits' end to refute the argument, declared that it was his opinion that the Bible was a fable, anyhow, and hoped that the judges would take this into consid- eration. Needless to say. the girls won the debate. The society progressed splendidly. Every one appeared interested: the faculty gave their strong and willing support: there was a long and im- patient waiting list; the meetings were well at- tended both by members and visitors; the club gained in strength and experience every day. In May. 19(H). the annual meeting was held, and officers were chosen for the season of 1906-1907. The class of 1906 had launched the society, and had done the hard work of giving it a popular start in the school. Would the class of 1907 show the in- terest and patriotism necessary to keep the club alive? It scarcely looked so, since the majority of the leading members were of the Senior class, and those in the Junior class had spoken before the so- ciety only infrequently. In order to avoid this condition in the future, the officers were evenly divided among the remaining classes. At our first meeting for the year in October, 1906. the executive committee reported on the question: Ms England or the I’nited States the Leading Country of To-day?” The very statement of the question shows how ignorant we were of even the fundamental rules of debating. The TUE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 103 leaders in this debate were selected on account of their wit and versatility: the first debate of the year must be witty and sparkling in order to arouse the enthusiasm of the previous year in the work of the society! The club now numbered fifty, but we had no waiting list. All who were members showed great interest and worked hard to fulfill one of the aims of the founders,—a joint debate with some other high school. Work progressed quietly in the club until January 1. 190L We held meet- ings regularly every other week, there was always good attendance and an interesting discussion. The improvement in the English of the individual members was remarkable, and many of those who had never spoken before a large audience were speaking with great ease by this time. In January there was some talk about an outside debate, but we were a new society, and felt that it might be pre- sumptuous for us to challenge any of the other high schools who were old at debating. Finally the alumni took pity on us and challenged us to a joint debate on the question of “Immigration.” so popular at that time. The alumni were represented by Miss Frances Russell. Richard Fernandez, A. S. Hart, all of the class of 1 !)()( . They had the affirmative side, while we had the negative. This debate was held January 21, 11)0?, in Un- assemble hall. The judges were J. A. Avery. 1). S. Wheeler, and Miss Elizabeth Campbell. 'Pile hall was well filled both with students and visitors, who appealed greatly interested and amused at the speeches of Mr. Arnold for the affirmative and Mr. Hart for the negative. They were the aggressive members of their respective sides, and it appeared at times that the matter might have to be settled in a different place and at some other time. At the end of an hour the judges retired and decided on a verdict for the affirmative. The society had won its first outside debate. While preparing our alumni debate, a challenge had been received from the Medford High School Debating Congress. e accepted, but with tin- aristocratic proviso that in' entrance fees be charged. Medford replied in a most surprised tone that they considered the fees absolutely neces- sary. one of the causes of their challenge being a desire to raise money with which to pay some old debts. They could not understand the feeling of Somerville against the receipt of money for a purelv intellectual pursuit. Since the decision was left to us either to accept a fee or wait for another challenge, we swallowed our pride and charged fif- teen cents admission. Shortly afterwards Mr. P.oothbv and another representative from Medford called on the executive committee in Somerville for the purpose of drawing up the rules, deciding upon the date, and arranging other petty details. The subject agreed upon was: The Future Increase of the Naval Rower of the United States.” At a flip of the coin Somerville got the negative, the un- popular side of the question. After two months of preparation, the two schools met in the Medford High School assembly hall on March 2«S. 1!M)7. Medford was represented by R. E. Boothby. E. S. Swenson. E. S. Bacon, and (1. C. Scott. Mr. Swenson spoke as alternate. Mr. Scott being unfortunately detained by illness. Somer- ville was represented by William Bishop. Harold Babbit, and Miss Edna Harrison, with Harry Rolf, alternate. T he judges were Professor L. B. Evans. Ph.D., and Professor I). L. Maulsbv, A. M.. of Tufts Col- lege, and Frank Ilervcy, of the Medford Historical Society. The Medford High School Orchestra and Miss l-'ffie M. Ritchie, of Somerville, furnished en- tertainment during the intermissions in the debate. The discussion started promptly at S. and was finished by 10 o'clock. The judges retired for half an hour. It seemed an age. and the audience grew nervous and impatient. At half-past 10 Profes- sor Evans, after complimenting both sides and dilating on the difficulty the judges had in reaching a decision, finally resulting in a disagreement, two standing out for Medford and one for Somerville, awarded the cup to Medford, and we came home defeated. During the rebuttal the chairman played a joke on Somerville which rather annoyed us at the time. We had prepared a summary of all our points and had enumerated them, the number run- ning up into the thirties. Mr. Bishop, the last speaker for our side, was given five minutes in which to read these points. As he reached the higher number in the scale, he brought out each numeral with increased emphasis, and by the time he had reached twenty-two the audience was in a litter of expectancy, though Mr. Bishop was en- tirely oblivious of what was coming. 11 is time was up, but the chairman permitted him to finish this point and to shout twenty-three with increased emphasis before he brought down his gavel. There was a shout from the audience, and we re- tired thoroughly crestfallen. The next morning (hriday) was quite exciting at school. In spite of our defeat, we had gone against a more experienced school and succeeded in causing a disagreement of the judges, quite an 104 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR unusual thing, and worth partly as much as victory itself. 'I he proceeds of the debate amounted to $27 and a few cents, with which we purchased lantern slides for the lantern in the assembly hall, and pre- sented them to the school. 1 he effect of our defeat was shown bv in- creased zeal and work on the part of the society, bunny incidents occurred at nearly every meeting. One zealous member, when expounding on the rascality of politicians, stated that the “chickenry” (meaning chicanery) of these individuals was a dis- grace to the nation. Another spoke of the dis- covery of the world by Columbus and Washing- ton’s discovery of America. In 1 iM)7 history repeated itself. The season opened with great enthusiasm. 'Flic alumni chal- lenged the High School early in the year, and were again defeated by them. At about the same time that the challenge was received from the alumni, a challenge was received from Everett. Since it was not the aim of the alumni particu- larly to retrieve our loss of the previous year, but rather to assist the High School against Everett, they discussed the question from the Everett point of view. After a month of preparation, the repre- sentatives of Somerville and Everett met in the Everett High School hall. Somerville was repre- sented by Miss Xina Gilley, Miss Elinor C. Xeilon. and Harry Cohen, the same team that had de- feated the alumni. Everett was represented by Messrs. Noon. Davis, and Gates. 1 he judges were Dean Warren, of Boston Uni- versity. Mrs. Weltmere, of Santa l'e, and Mr. Os- borne. of Winthrop. 1 his time Somerville supplied the orchestra, and the Everett High School Girls’ (dec Club vied with them in entertaining the audience during in- termissions. After an interesting and exciting de- bate. the judges returned with a verdict in favor of Everett. Somerville had been defeated again, but this time by one of the best high school debating teams in the state. Debating is part of the curriculum at Everett, and has been so for fifteen years. Ever- ett has won numerous debates, and justly considers herself the champion of the state. In September of this year a strong alumni de- bating society was formed. All those who have been connected with the High School Debating Society arc earnestly invited to join this society after being graduated. We meet once a month, discuss a few current events, and after a pleasant social time recalling old school days, disband fof another month. It is earnestly hoped the beginning made in the two years of the Debating Society’s existence may result in the continuation of the work, and the in- fant club develop into a stalwart and winning organization. However that may prove, the efforts of those who have been connected with the society cannot fail to have been of lasting benefit to themselves. Gamp Xife, Gbat’s HU! jH. IP. XOWCll, X., '0(5 OW many of you have been in camp? How many of you who have camped in the woods for the summer months have fallen victims to the delusion that you were “roughing it’’? Perhaps you may have glanced hastily at some typical logging, mining, or construction camp, and you may have spent an hour in eulogizing the won- der and the novelty of camp life. Of the three camps mentioned, the last is the roughest, as it is composed of the dregs of Europe and America. All languages are heard from Croatian to Profane; English is limited to the foremen, clerks, and timekeepers. One day in such a camp will make you sit up and rub your eyes, but you must exist in one a month to reap the full benefit of nestling close to Nature’s bosom. I say exist, because it is not life; it is entombment, for you are completely isolated from those precincts where the lights of civilization shine. Most of you are unaware of the birth of a city In Indiana bearing the name of Gary. She is the child of the Steel Trust; though now but a jumble of steel, brick, and cement, she will soon rank among the foremost manufacturing centres. Gary is a city founded upon the sand, upon a veritable desert, where trees are less common than cactus. The sand is omnipresent: it is in the atmosphere, in your eyes, cars, shoes, in any place ready to re- ceive it. TI-IE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR i°5 And where the sand is. the flea is; and where the flea is there are others. The flea is no hermit: he is fond of society, polite or otherwise. lie draws no color line, and if scorned by man will not hesitate to introduce himself to a horse or a dog. He is an athlete from birth, and holds the inter- insect record for both the high and broad jump. I had not been in camp one night before the social committee of fleas tendered me its nocturnal wel- come. They were so tame as to eat from mv hand, but they did not stop there. They had found a friend in me. and never once left my side. When day broke our acquaintance did not. “Out of sight, out of mind.” was not spoken of the flea. I read of a youth of antiquity who stole a young fox. which he hid under his tunic. Then, rather than be discovered, he allowed the beast to gnaw at his vitals, while he made no sign of emotion. Had he substituted a flea for a fox, the myth would have had a less romantic ending. Rut I am writing a tragedy, not a natural history.

Eating and feigning sleep are but a part of the vivid panorama of camp life. You should take a peep at camp on the Sunday after pay-day. Just one peep, then dodge. Xo matter what you dodge, be it an over-worked bottle or a human hand dis- guised as a list. You will find the air full of debris and oaths, both foreign and domestic: and you will soon discover that the air is not the only full thing visible to the naked eye.

Thus we modern Crusocs share the delights offered by a construction camp. For the first few days it is novel; in the next few it verges into monotony, and—well, if I continue down the scale. I shall be forced to resort to General Sherman’s laconic description of war. The moral of this fable is: “If you are dissatisfied with the environments of your parental thatch, squander a week in an earthly Eden which I have tried to paint in printer's ink. If this tonic does not afford instant relief, re- peat doses until home looks as good to you as does an unclaimed dollar to a street urchin.” Thus endeth the morning lesson on camp life. a IKUgbt 1Rii� e on JS? William B. I'M BEE 102—on time!” announced the dispatcher: and a few minutes later the heavy train from the East pulled into Portland station, with half of her night’s work done. Here, while baggage was being loaded and express registered. I examined the big engine which was to take us to Boston. As it tbe Yankee JBiSbop, IE., '07 stood coupled to the train, it looked like some great black monster held in leash and panting to be off. It was a powerful machine, with its great cylinders, its heavy driving rods, and immense wheels. The engineer was a short man, with blue eyes and a ruddy complexion: and the hair about his temples showed white beneath his cap. As he “looked her over,” dropping a little oil here, and 106 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR wiping a rod there, he gave one a sense of security, a feeling that he understood the intricate workings of this mighty machine and was master of it. At last all was ready; from the fireman’s seat I saw the conductor swing his lantern and jump aboard, and twenty minutes after its arrival. Xo. 102, the Hying Yankee, started for Boston. As we pulled out. the sun was just sinking in the west. The river was all red and gold from the set- ting sun. while the western sky was a blaze of glori- ous color. In the east the moon, already high in the autumn sky. promised a beautiful night. The night air was cold, and on the river and over the fields mists were lising. The engine threaded its way through the tangled maze of switches, whose flickering lamps showed red and green ; and by the time it had rumbled over the bridge, the light in the west had died out. and Night's mantle was flung across the skies. Then the great engine settled down to its work, and the long run was fairly commenced. Soon the speed increased, and the telegraph poles began to flit by in dignified procession. At intervals ap- peared the milestones, showing white and spectral in the moonlight, standing like guardians of the road, ever watchful and silent. Through the wooded tracts the moon seemed to flit along behind the trees, casting their long shadows across the tracks. Now and then a station flashed by. with its dimly- lighted windows, and the signal high above it show- ing “clear.” Looking back. I could see the night watchman emerge and hang up his green lantern, which swung and swung, until it was a mere speck in the gloom—then the curve shut out the view. At Biddcford the great steel bridge was crossed. Far below 11s the moon’s broken reflection rose and fell on the muddy waters of the Saco river. O11 its surface floated thousands of logs which had jour- neyed from the lumber regions of Northern Maine. On its banks were the sawmills—all quiet now. flanked and guarded by enormous piles of lumber. ()ut in the open country the rolling meadows 011 either side presented a pleasing picture. In the dis- tance the moon revealed a low-studded farmhouse, with its out-buildings and its orchard and pastures. Here and there a stream gleamed like silver as it wound among the hills. At North Berwick an extra stop and several min- utes lost, which, if possible, must be regained. Then commenced the wildest ride I ever experi- enced. The fireman redoubled his efforts to supply the steam, and under the engineer's direction, the monstrous machine leaped forward like a thing of life. Slowly, inch by inch, he drew out the throttle. The great machine rocked and swayed under the terrible strain. The throbbing beneath us grew to a confused roar. At every curve the engine seemed about to leave the track and go plunging down the steep embankment. Outside the wind roared past, and ahead the track seemed to dance before my eyes. Yet all the while the man with whom rested the care of hundreds of lives sat motionless, his eyes fixed on the track ahead. One hand rested lightly, almost caressingly, on the throttle-bar, the other on the window-sill beside him. Now he would “hook” his lever up: now open an injector; then resume his former position. Behind the train stretched a long feather of smoke, now white, now black, as the fireman threw in the coal: and at intervals the whistle would roll and echo over the fields. Crossings and stations, signals and towers all flashed by in a whirl of dust and smoke. A short stop at Portsmouth, and we were off once more in the mad race against time. Tints we ride on the night express. Through field and forest, on high embankments and in deep cuts, over and under bridges, around curves, through village and town, guided by the cool hand of the man in the cap and overalls, safely and swiftly until the goal is reached. Well might it be said of the engineer: “He does a man's work. He is a true type of an American man.” £be 'Uaasbimjton TIour The tenth annual tour to Washington will again be directed under the personal supervision of Mr. Poor, of the faculty of the English School.

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR tlbc jfatc of tbe 3figbttng Gock JGv? Marion G. Eaton, X., '00 ; 1R„ HO S Ilcnrv drove up to Judge Parker’s side door, a fat little boy jumped up from the steps and ran into the house, crying excitedly: “I’a! the hen-man’s here! Come quick! Presently he returned, pulling his father by the hand. “Good morning, Henry, said the judge, you are -round early this year, it seems to me. Yes,” admitted Henry. I be. Don't generally get round till after Thanksgivin’. Thought this year I'd do it early. So's to have something to be thankful for to-morrow. he added, chuckling. The judge smiled politely. Well, he said, “I've got some extra pullets for you, I guess.” He led the way to the barn, and waited for Henry to climb stiffly down from his seat. Then both men went inside. There was a startled cackling, and presently they re-appeared, Henry dangling four or five pullets by their legs. Throwing them into a crate in the back of his wagon, lie began to count out money from a greasy leather bag that served him as a purse. 'Hie judge watched him thoughtfully a moment before lie spoke. Henry. he said. T wonder, would it be too much trouble—would you do me a favor? That depends. answered Henry, as he gave him the money. “W hat's it you want?” Are you going to the Xorth Parish to-day?” Presume so, if nothin' hinders.” “Would you carry a co—rooster for me to Si Holt’s? I'll pay you express rates, a quarter. Silas has bought it of me. It is a fancy breed. he explained elaborately. I Icnry looked astonished, but he assented. All right. Bring him out. I’ll just nail the crate down. and the judge hur- ried away, while Henry climbed into the wagon to wait. 'File fat little boy came and stood by the wheel. We’re going to have a lickin’ good dinner to- morrow, he volunteered. “Mas in the kitchen now helping the. girl make pies. We're going to have it early, too. Pa says he has got some busi- ness to tend to. Ma said she didn’t see what it could be Thanksgivin’ day, but pa. lie just grunted, so I guess we'll have it by noon, ’stead of waiting. He paused for breath, with a happy look on his fat, round face. Henry’s own face was lean and shriv- eled, mottled by the cold. But his watery blue eyes were kind, and lie answered the boy with a smile. That so! and be you goin’ to hcv a drumstick?” Two of ’em.” gloated the boy. Henry laughed. Judge,” lie said, as he leaned down to take the crate, I'm afraid your boy’s greedy. I he judge smiled with his mouth alone; his eyes were troubled. Here. he ordered, “shove the box under the seat so. and let the blanket fall over it. Don’t want him to get cold, and it's spitting snow al- ready. And—and you had better not say anything about him. You know, though Si and I arc cousins, we haven’t been very good friends, and people gossip so.” The judge’s gray-whiskered, respectable face grew red, and his eyes never lifted to the'other man’s frank gaze. “All right, Henry assured him. as lie pulled on his red mittens and picked up the reins. Good day. judge. Be round in the spring. 'I he judge’s house was on the outskirts of the town, and presently Henry was out on the open road going north. He hung the reins about his neck, plunged his hands deep into his old ulster pockets, and bent his head before the November wind that blew cold under the gray, snow-laden clouds. The sun was a round spot in the sky; the air was full of snow so fine that it was scarcely dis- tinguishable. and seemed to grow out of the wind rather than fall from the clouds. Sometimes Henry stopped at a bleak farmhouse, surrounded by naked, gray trees, and looking over wide stretches of dead brown land and patches of ploughed fields, where the snow was beginning to whiten in the black, frozen ruts. At all these houses he was a familiar figure. The men wel- comed him. the women, little shawls wrapped round their heads, came out from the kitchens to bring him hot. good-smelling things from the Thanks- giving ovens, and to hear his gossip of the country- side. Yet he said nothing of the rooster, true, as the judge had expected, to his request. All the more, however, he thought about it as he rode along, bent before the wind. A puzzled frown gathered on his forehead and puckered about his pale blue watery eyes. ()ncc he pulled his hands out of his pockets, re-tied his gray and red knit comforter.” and pulled his old cap. green with age. farther over his ears. “Jim,” he said aloud, addressing the shaggy brown horse. Jim, it's mighty funny about that rooster. They do say he ain’t been on speaking terms with Si for years. But that ain’t no reason, THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 108 fur as I can sec, why he don’t want folks to know Si's bought a rooster of him. Come , to think, don't know as I ever heard before the judge was much on fancy hens.” Henry’s eyes grew more and more puzzled. He clucked to the shaggy horse absently as they rounded a curve on to a straight stretch of road that ran across a frozen, wind-swept meadow, with a steel-gray, evil-looking stream of open water through the midst. Beyond the meadow the North Parish straggled up a little hill. A buggy was coming along the road, driven by a fat man with a comfortable face, whose weak mouth was partly hidden by a heavy gray mous- tache. “(lolly! exclaimed Henry, “it’s the chief. Got on his brass buttons, too; must be something up.” When the two men met, they stopped their horses. Morning. Henry, said the constable. “Morning, chief. What’s the trouble?” I he fat man assumed an air of mystery. I'm following clues. There's things in the North Parish ain’t going to happen if I can help. Lord, chief, there ain't nobody plotting murder, be there? We—ell.” the constable considered, kind o’ murder like.” Henry's blue eyes opened wide, but before he could speak, a loud, prolonged crow came from under his wagon seat. 'Pile constable started; slowly into his eyes came an expectant look. What you got there? he demanded sharply. Henry, his caution dispelled by curiosity, an- swered unwittingly: “A rooster I’m fetching to Si Holt’s for Judge Parker. The constable sat tip straight, with a look mingled of honor and satisfaction at the scandal. So the judge is in that cock-fight to-morrow?” he said. Well, you just hand over that there rooster for evidence, and he held out his hand eagerly. The judge in a cock-fight nothing! answered Henry loyally, though his gaze wavered and fell away from the constable’s. By some chance he looked over the meadow at a little red house that stood apart from the others on the hill. A sudden marvelous inspiration came to him. I suppose you mean Si Holt's going to have his annual cock-fight in his old barn down by the river. Thought for a minute there was something new, he parried sarcastically, as he edged along so that the constable could not poke his whip handle under the wagon seat. You let me see that rooster, Henry. lie de- manded. Henry laughed. That rooster ain’t going to no cock-fight: it's going,” he explained steadily, to Miss Cy Holt’s, down on the West Road, for her Thanksgivin’ dinner. Huh! How long sence Judge Parker's been giving away anything? You let me see that rooster.” Maybe the judge is stingy, but his wife ain’t havin’ it said that her husband’s own cousin is going hungry. Anyhow, it’s a mighty skinny fowl. Naturally thin. I guess.” 'Ihe constable still looked incredulous, and he poked about till he found there was a crate under the blanket. What’s it all boxed up for? he inquired sus- piciously. ’Cause lie was goin' to send it by the grocer’s boy, when I happened along. Seemed sort of fittin’ like to send it by me.” Henry chuckled ner- vously at his joke, and started his horse. Then, remembering the boy’s talk of his father’s busi- ness.” stopped again. Say. lie called back, be you goin’ to tell the judge 'bout this cock-fight?” Well, maybe, admitted the fat man. I would if I was you. Seems as if he oughter know, bein’ a legal man.” That’s so. said the constable, slapping the reins on his horse’s back. Guess I will. Good day, I lenry.” Henry drove on with a sober face. The judge had told him to take the rooster to Si I lolt. because he had bought him. Still, even so, he might have meant it for Miss Cy Holt. It was equivocal. On the other hand, Henry had told the constable that lie was going to carry it to Miss Cy Holt. There was no doubt about that. If he did not do it, he would have told a lie. I never did tell a downright lie, lie muttered to himself. The shaggy horse quickened his pace, as he felt the full force of the stinging wind across the Hat meadow, but his master did not notice. And cock-fightin’ is against the law and Scrip- tures. he mused. And it will be encouragin’ a sin if I take that rooster to Si's, and I’ve told the chief fair and square I was a-going to take it to Miss Cv’s.” Now his horse had crossed the meadow and started up the hill. Still Henry made no attempt to guide him. At the fork of the West Road the horse paused a moment, then turned his back upon the uncomfortable wind to jog along in the shelter of the hill toward the little red house that stood apart. It’s the (loin’s of Providence.” Henry said aloud with a relieved air. He took the reins from about his neck, straightened his bent body, and urged his horse into a protesting trot up to the sagging red gate of Miss Cy Holt.

Mr. Jordan has been elected class photographer at Emer- son College at least once, and he has always offered special rates to Emerson students. Artistically, the work of Mr, Jordan is of a high order; it speaks for itself, and cannot be surpassed. But it is not of the work of the Jordan Studios we wish to speak in particular, but of the kindness of its managers and the attention shown us as a college. This is in a way not often met in business, and is therefore all the more pleasant to encounter; it makes one feel as though getting photographed were not an unpleasant duty, like going to the dentist, but a pleasant half-hour spent with some one anxious to please, and who makes business interesting and the results most satisfactory.

'11 124 THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Again the baseball season has opened, and again it behooves every loyal student of Somerville High to work for the success of the team. We arc somewhat heavily handicapped by the fact that Captain Sharry has been declared ineligible to play in the league games this season, and will therefore probably not play in the practice games, for the man who is to captain the team and the one who is to play in his position will need all the drill of these practice games to fit them for the league games. The wearers of the red and blue have long been able to boast of winning teams. Let us see to it. fellow students, that we increase this year our ef- forts and our determination to win the champion- ship. We cannot all play on the team, but we can all attend the games and give the enthusiastic sup- port that every player needs in order that he may do his best. Would it not be a good plan for the Senior class in each school to select a cheering leader whose duty it shall be to see that the team does not lack support? at ft i It is. perhaps, not too early to call attention to the June number of the Radiator, which will ap- pear on the l«Sth of that month, and will have about seventy pages. It will contain the custom- ary half tone cuts of the athletic teams, editorial staff, class presidents, clubs, also some well written stories, and abundant class notes. The class edi- tors are looking forward to this number, in which extra space will be allowed them, and for which they have been saving their best hits. The sport- ing editor will also have a full account of what we hope will be a championship team of the Inter- scholastic League. Lay aside a quarter for the June number, and sign the subscription paper when it is passed. ft ft ft ft The Radiator Staff for next year will be chosen immediately after the appearance of the May num- ber. This early election will, we feel sure, be greatly to the advantage of both the outgoing and the incoming staff. 'Hie present staff will have assistance in preparing the principal issue of the year, while those who are to conduct the paper next year will have an opportunity to become ac- quainted with their duties under the guidance of those already experienced in its management. There is always a good deal of friction in start- ing a new machine, as we found to our cost last fall: the new plan, we think, will largely eliminate this starting friction. All who are willing to assist in the production of the Radiator next year should send in their names, with the position desired, to the Editor-in- Chief, Room 22, Latin School, not later than May 10. ft ft. ft ft The Junior dance will be held in Anthoine Hall on Thursday evening, May 7. The class is planning to have this daneg surpass all former affairs of its kind. Every Junior is ex- pected to attend. Tickets may be obtained from the committee. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 125 Eor the past few weeks, owing to the illness of Mr. Hadley, musical instruction has been sus- pended. We are glad to learn that lie is now gain- ing daily, and hope that by the time this issue ap- pears he will be with 11s again. •t r r On the morning of April 7 several of the Bos- ton dailies contained lurid accounts of alleged wan- ton destruction of school property by vandals, who were supposed to have entered the Latin High building the preceding evening. This report was entirely false, as nothing in the building was found to be disturbed. If the originator of this story in- tended it as an April fool joke, it was entirely out of place, to say the least. Would it not be well if the daily press should have less concern for the “scoop and more con- cern for enlightening the public? Would it not have been practical for the reporter in the present case to have got into communication with the school authorities, and thus have verified the out- lines of his story? If, however, all papers were as careful as we have suggested concerning the news they publish, we imagine the columns of many papers would contain little but advertisements, r. r The High School Orchestra again makes an urgent plea to those who play musical instru- ments. If you play, consult Mr. Eksergian, E., 08, as soon as possible. r k r It is exceedingly gratifying to hear that Gover- nor Guild is rapidly recovering from his severe ill- ness. Through the kindness of the Somerville Journal we arc able to produce his picture as a frontispiece. JEaster EMtb fc.

BrafcforD, X., ’04; D.t 'OS XASMUCH as I am a bachelor, of comfortable means, with no aims but leisurely study and quiet enjoyment of life, I am able to indulge whatever whims 1 may have. Hence, when an access of filial piety came upon me, I resolved to visit a certain New England town wheie my ancestors lived for several generations. I found the old seaport very interesting. After roaming through the burial lot, I wandered along the deserted wharves and among the dusty and dilapidated warehouses, experiencing particular pleasure in imagining scenes of former activity. In this frame of mind 1 walked along the streets, un- evenly paved with large cobblestones, and leisurely inspected the old curio shops, making an occa- sional purchase. In one shop an old man, scrupulously neat in broadcloth, received me with old-fashioned cour- tesy. He showed me all his stock, old lanterns, candlesticks, furniture, nautical instruments, pistols, swords, and miniatures. We came upon an old army cap of the time of the Mexican war, which I laughingly put on. “A good fit, is it not?” I asked. The old man ignored my question. “Excuse me, but is your name Winslow?” he asked. Why, yes,” I answered, somewhat surprised. “And your grandfather was Captain John Winslow ?v Yes.” ”1 remember him, and in that cap you arc his very image. He went away to the Mexican war when 1 was a boy, and later settled in Ohio.” I made some reply, and he went on :— I was very young, but I remember him. His father, Richard Winslow, was a sailor, a privateers- man of 1812. I remember my father saying that he sailed with him. He was engaged, they say. to a girl of this town, a girl whose beauty was famous for many years, but she died, and some years after- ward he married some one else. His son, John Winslow, fought in the Mexican war and settled in Ohio.” “And died at Antietam,” I added. So we talked till the afternoon was gone, and, promising to return the next day, I went to my hotel. After supper I took a stroll through the quiet streets to enjoy my cigar. Thinking of my experi- ences of the afternoon, I wandered along, taking no notice where I went, until slowly I became aware that I was in a part of the town where I had not been before, yet it appeared strangely familiar. I had no sense of being lost; on the contrary. 1 seemed on my way to some definite place. The balminess of the May twilight and the song of a robin in the treetop got into my heart, and I hummed a quaint old tune as my footfalls echoed along the narrow street. I came to a little cottage with an old white picket fence and high gate-posts, and smelled the lilacs and the apple blossoms. Whistling a peculiar call, I opened the gate, went up the gravel walk, and knocked with the ponderous brass knocker on the door. Then the strangeness of my action came over me: I reproached myself for my intrusion, and was about to withdraw, when the door opened and a negro servant grinned a welcome. Instantly I experienced my former feeling of familiarity, and asked : “Is your mistress in, Cato?” Yes, Mars Richard. Miss Jeanette am waitin’.” I entered, giving him my hat. Urged again by what seemed to be habit, I turned to the left and entered a room in which I heard music. The music ceased, and in the faint twilight I saw a girl- ish figure, in the white dress of 1812, rise from the melodeon and come a little way toward me, then extend her hand, saying: “Art come at last, thou tardy knight?” I crave forgiveness,” I answered, almost invol- untarily. “Hut all day long we have been equip- ping the ship for sea. We sail again to-morrow.” “Oh, you men of war! Home yesterday, gone to-morrow. And some day the English will gobble you all up. I must get me a new knight, thou art such a dilatory one.” “When the war is over you’ll never be able to get rid of me,” I suggested. “As Dr. Hopkins says, ‘Well, sufficient unto the day----- But we shall be late for the assembly. I will go and get my wraps.” And she added, as she ran up the stairs: “John Kendell is home from the army.” “He’d better go back,” I called after her, as I sat down by the window and listened to the last notes of the robin’s evening song. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 127 “All ready !” a sweet voice said a moment later. 1 jumped up. Cato gave me my hat, and vvc went out. “What a lovely night! We were all going for a little picnic to-morrow. Instead, you are going off again to the war, and I'll sit at home and-” And what?” Cry.” But when the war is over. I persisted. It seems as if it never would be over. But heigh-ho! I might as well wish for the moon as that you should be home for a week.” But when the war-----” Here, I will pick a nosegay for you.” And she picked some flowers and put them in my buttonhole, arranging and patting them into place with two dainty gloved hands. I grasped the hands and tried to kiss her, but she slipped away. Naughty boy! she laughed as we passed through the gate. I'm having a miniature done by Le Eevre. and if you'll be real nice I may let you take it. Oh. my fan! I’ve forgotten it.” 1 11 go fetch it.” “No, I will—I know just where it is. You walk along slowly, and I’ll overtake you. We’ll miss the grand march.” Obediently I walked slowly along, smelling the lilacs and watching the stars appear one by one. The houses were only scantily lighted, so I judged that everybody had gone to the assembly. Arrived at a corner, I waited a moment for my sweetheart, enjoying the twilight and listening to a violin some- where far off playing some old dance music. “Pshaw! She will come tripping along, said I to myself when the music had ceased, and I went leisurely on. The clock in a steeple somewhere struck eight, and I turned another corner and watched an electric car pass. Wondering vaguely at this anachronism, yet not greatly troubled. I walked along the street to my hotel, and was soon sleeping soundly. In the sunshine of the next morning I began to wonder at my strange adventure, and I found no solution. After breakfast 1 went to the shop where I had met the old man. It was closed: the old man, some one told me, was dead. I walked all over the town, threading every street and alley, but could not find the quiet old street I sought. I have consulted astrologers, psychologists, and other learned men, with scant satisfaction. But some- times now in the summer twilight I walk through the echoing streets of the town, gazing wistfully— and vainly—at pleasant little cottages, and return home to take down an old volume and gaze at a faded nosegay of old-fashioned flowers. (Ibe Iftowcr of Tbvpnotism B ? Ibavolb THHtewall, JE., ’08 BELIEVE to some extent in the powers of hypnotism, but my friend, Mr. Hawley, ridicules it, as well as those who believe in it, strongly as- serting that no man on earth could hypnotize him. At one time I knew a certain Mr. Ellis, who was one of the officers of an English tramp steamer ; a dark-complexioned man, with small, black eyes which seemed to look right through you. This man had that peculiar power of controlling the will of almost any one he met. One afternoon, after a somewhat lengthy argu- ment with Mr. Hawley on the subject, I proposed that we go to Mr. Ellis and see if he could hypno- tize him. Hawley readily agreed to the plan, so we found our way down Atlantic avenue to the vessel’s pier, where I found Mr. Ellis and explained the matter to him. He offered to try his power on my friend, and led us into the cabin, where he requested Mr. Hawley to be seated. Then, standing before Hawley's chair, Ellis ordered him to look stead- fastly in his eyes. I le then passed his hands before my friend's face, and I could see at a glance that he' was under his power. To my amazement, Mr. Ellis repeated at least half a dozen times: W hen any one addresses you by name you arc to say, ‘You are a fool and 1 mean it.’” He then passed his hand before my friend’s face again. He apparently came to. although, as it later transpired, he was still under Ellis’ power. After being shown around the vessel, we went home together, as I was to remain with Hawley that night. Nothing of note happened until we reached the house, when Mrs. Hawley opened the front door, saying: Henry, the cook— when she was dumbfounded to hear her husband tell her she was a fool and he meant it. 'Flic poor woman was 128 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR so startled that all she could say was: “Henry Hawley, what do you mean?” when lie promptly answered: “You are a fool and I mean it. By this time she had decided that her husband must be out of his head, and was about to send for a doctor, when I explained what had happened, and offered my opinion that he was still under Mr. Ellis’ influ- ence. We decided that the best thing to do would be to wait until morning, as he appeared ra- tional in all other ways, and take him to Mr. Ellis to have the spell removed. The next morning everything went smoothly, as we all took care not to call him by name, until we got to the railroad station. Mere Mr. Hawley offered to buy the tickets, so I went out and waited for him on the platform. In a few minutes I heard the most unearthly commotion inside the station. Hurrying in. what was my amazement to see the portly Mr. Hawley covered with dust on the floor, while one of his neighbors was sitting on top pounding him with might and main, exclaiming at the same time that he wouldn’t be called a fool by any man. I hastily explained matters, whereupon the gentleman apologized to my friend. It seems that the gentleman had said, “Good morning, Mr. Haw- ley. with the result that he was called a fool. By considerable brushing. Hawley was made present- able, and we proceeded to the city, surrounded by the amused spectators of the affair. Immediately on pulling into the station we hur- ried to the wharf, only to find the steamer gone and the place deserted. Upon inquiry, the wharf mas- ter told us that she had sailed on the tide early that morning for Liverpool, and probably would not call at Boston again for some months. What were we to do? Here was my friend liable to call anybody a fool at almost any time, and the only man that could give any help somewhere on the Atlantic ocean. What was I to do? If the spell was not removed before Ellis got back to Bos- ton my friend would probably bring up in some jail. Finally, after consulting Mrs. Hawley, we de- cided to take the first steamer for Liverpool and in- tercept Ellis there. By consulting the time tables. 1 was elated to find that the Ivernia sailed the next day. We hastily engaged passage, booking Mr. Hawley as “Mr. Smith. I didn’t wish to take any chances, and it was with a sigh of relief that I found no one knew us. Four days after our arrival in Liverpool the other ship arrived. We soon saw Mr. Ellis, who hypnotized Hawley in much the same manner as before. When he had him under his will, he kept repeating. “You are not to say, You are a fool and I mean it.’ when a person addresses you by name.” With a few mystic waves of his hand lie brought him to again. That is the end of the incident, except that ever since Mr. Hawley has been a firm believer in the power of hypnotism. H tCrue Stow JB Or wap Tleafc, %., ’OS All was hurry and confusion and bustle. The last fond friends had left the ship and were looking up at the voyagers from the dock. The last steward, loaded with valises, had come aboard, and the gang-plank was rolled back on to the pier. A few brisk, terse orders from a man in numerous gold braids, and the great ship swung slowly out with the aid of many industrious tugboats puffing at her bow. Most of those left on the dock were friends of those who were leaving Germany to seek greater fortunes in great America. There was many a sad tear. Beloved mothers saw their sons go off, pos- sibly never to be seen again. Husbands and wives were being wrung from one another. Lovers were separating, the young men to make a home for their future brides in the New World. Only the tourists would look admiringly back at this foreign scene and smile; they were bound for home. The boat had now turned down the river. Nearly all on the emigrant deck had left the side of the ship, and were busy getting settled. One young fellow, however, a striking Teuton, with high forehead and stalwart body, had no affairs to settle, and was eagerly waving good-by to a weep- ing girl on the pier. She was evidently his be- trothed. who was to wait in the Old World till he should make a cozy home for her in the New. The boat turned, and he could no longer sec her. Great hopes, great aspirations, great dreams were theirs, Hulda's and Frans’, as they left each other, one to go back to the old life, the other to go out to the great new life beyond. A hardy, brown lot of men were sitting around THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 129 the grateful fire in the “club of a small mining town in Montana. They had talked all the even- ing, and now the party of men were leaving, each to go to a comfortable, though rude, fireside of his own. I he small houses ranged out from the “club, for, as soon as each miner had brought his wife over from “across,” he had bought a little plot for his home. And nearly all the miners had plots. One man, however, when the others left, still sat gazing into the fire. Me was a German, but the stalwart frame he had once possessed was somewhat bent. His hair, too. was tinged with gray; not that he was old, for he had come there five years ago, when he was twenty-two years old. but because he had worked so hard. His money had come slowly. But at last he had got together enough to send for his bride, his Hulda. It had been hard work and lonesome work, but his re- ward was coming now. I'rails was to go to New York the next week to meet Hulda, and then he would bring her back to the little house he had bought and furnished. In a little while lie, too, would go home from the club”—home to his wife. The days flew by, until at last one bright, happy morning Frans strolled down Broadway, looking in at the jewelers’ windows. One window display specially caught his eye, and he went in and bought a ring. Next, a directory helped him to locate a necessary priest, and the two went down to Ellis Island. The liner was in. and the immigrants were being examined, so Frans and the priest remained in the waiting room until, when they were despairing of seeing Hulda that day, she came in. The priest turned back, and Frans, open-armed, came for- ward to claim his bride. Hulda gave a sharp look, and then, turning back, she would not be touched, but burst into tears. The priest came to her, and Frans hovered around, dazed and wondering. “No! No!” said Hulda. “I cannot marry him. He has changed so! I have been loving an idol. Let me go back. I cannot marry him.” Frans heard, and turned away—back to Mon- tana. Hulda returned on the same ship. The happiness of both was shattered. He was sitting in the same place by the fire. All the others had gone home. He was looking into the fire, and his eyes glistened with its light. In one hand he held an empty, little plush box; in the other a ring. A great, warm tear fell on the diamond as he kissed it. and then distractedly threw it in the fire—threw it where his hopes were. Ships’ JSoats Stored at Charlestown Itlavw Ijarb Samuel IRicb, '09 Iti a new. fire-proof storage building at the Charlestown Navy Yard, almost two hundred ships’ boats are stored, costing more than one hundred thousand dollars in labor and material. These boats are used to fit out new ships from the Fore River Ship Yards, and to replace boats which are lost from the ships during storms or by accident. The boats are made of the best obtainable stock, and with the greatest of human skill. Most of the boats are arranged in order in regular rows, or piled in tiers, three and four high, while those for. which there is no room are stored in another building. With the same systematic arrangement the oars, masts, booms, boat-stretchers, provision and water casks, bailing-kits and other fittings are stored in racks along the sides of the building or on overhead platforms. There are all kinds of launches, both steam and electric; small, speedy, and finely furnished ones for admirals and commanding officers, and forty- foot launches of great power, which are very use- ful in towing the ships’ sailing launches and cut- ters. and carrying rapid-firing and shore guns, used on every ship. Side by side with some plain, cheap little din- ghies used in cleaning and repairing the sides of ships are some twelve-oared mahogany barges for rear-admirals. These arc used only on ceremonial occasions and during visits to foreign ports. These are finely carved with the seal of the United States, stars, and other designs, and are very costly. In another place arc some large, heavy, and sturdy forty-foot sailing launches, which will carry one hundred men and two small cannon easily for � 30 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR a landing. They are equipped with gun circles and standards used during boat attacks. Near these are some rowing barges, the same size, shape, and capacity as the sailing launches. These are fitted with sails which are sometimes used, but these boats are generally towed like the sailing launches. Each is equipped with ten or twelve oars, which, when used by two strong men, can be driven through the water at a great pace. The worth of these boats has been tested, as one two- thousand-mile voyage for succor was made in one, and this was the kind of boat in which the men from the Kearsarge made a fifteen-hundred-mile journey when she was wrecked in the Caribbean Sea. In the next collection there arc all kinds of boats —gig, cutters, and whale-boats; all the vari- eties used in the navy. There is a trim regulation twelve-foot racing boat used on every ship. All of the boats are the standard size, which makes fairness in rowing. This is encouraged, as it in- creases the efficiency of the men. Formerly there was no regulation size for racing, and the officers- and men bought boats like those used in racing on rivers, and had no practical value. The Batten- burg cup. which was presented by the Duke of Battcnburg and the officers and sailors of the Brit- ish squadron which visited here several years ago, has increased the rivalry, as the cup is worth ten thousand dollars. All of these boats, except the mahogany rowing barges of the admirals and the lighter and smaller special boats for torpedo-boats and torpedo-boat destroyers, arc immaculate in white paint and pol- ished brass fittings. Those of the torpedo-boats and torpedo-boat destroyers are all painted to conform to the color of these little ships. All of these boats at the Charlestown Xavy Yard make it one of the largest storage depots for small boats in the Tinted States. H Balloon HEpisobe 36 ? iNowavfc flDacXean, ’09 In a field not far from the town of C----I first caught sight of our balloon. Her spacious gas- bag was capable of holding twenty-four thousand cubic feet of gas. The wicker basket was large and roomy, and so high that I could just look over it. I had left everything to my aeronaut, and he had attended to business well. The bottom and the sides of the basket were well lined with canned goods and a large wooden box filled with sweet chocolate. 'The amount of our provisions was not to be wondered at, for wc intended to take a long journey; in fact, we were off for the pole. Cut her loose!'’ and up we shot; the crowd surrounding the balloon just dropped away. Strik- ing a fair current at the height of fifteen thousand feet, we were whirled along at a good rate. Al- though I had never been in a balloon before, the sensations that I experienced were no more than wonder and delight in seeing mother earth so far beneath me. There to the northwest lay the Great Lakes and the shimmering St. Lawrence. In one hour and a half we passed over them into Canada. About this time 1 looked at my watch; it read half after four. I was amazed, for so far that day 1 had had only one piece of toast and a cup of coffee. My excitement had carried me so far that I had forgotten to eat. I suggested a luncheon to the pilot, who thought that it might be a good plan. We unpacked a few tidbits, for that was all we cared to spare then. When it began to get colder, we put on the thick reefers which my thoughtful aeronaut had provided. The fast-ap- proaching darkness and the intense cold had a drowsy influence on my nerves. Happily there was room for one of us to sleep while the other took care of the balloon. My slumbers that night were short, for the piercing cold would not allow me to sleep long. The next day wc passed over Hudson and Baffin Bays, and not far to the east- ward Greenland. The cold now was so gredt that we put on our newly patented coats that had been chemically treated to keep the cold out. That evening we came to the edge of the ice pack, which stretched as far as we could see. The quietness that reigned over this vast floe of ice was oppres- sive. For four days we had to endure this with- out seeing land. ()n the fifth day, after traversing twelve hundred miles of ice. we caught sight of an island and decided to descend upon it. We landed at the base of a small mountain. Our first move- ments were to prepare the supper in our firclcss cooker. After the meal I started out to climb the mountain, and as it was not very light I took along some torches. My ascent was laborious, for the ground was frozen and very slippery. I reached a position somewhere near THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR the summit when I perceived that the mountain ■was Hat on the top. When I ascended higher I found that my former impression was wrong, and that it was not flat but hollow. This evidently was an old volcanic mountain. My curiosity led me to go down into the crater; as it was dark, I lit one of my torches. Immediately mv eyes were blinded by the dazzling brightness. Great icicles hung in festoons from the sides of the crater, and enormous cakes of ice were strewn here and there, reflecting the light in myriad colors. Led on by the beautiful sight I penetrated still farther into the frozen crater. I had not gone far when on turning a corner in the ice I saw ahead of me great cakes of ice piled end upon end forming an arch. Just above the arch, written in aeternum ignem, were the words. “The Home of Merlin, the Enchanter ' This palace of ice. as I afterward found it to be, was as the realization of a miser’s dream, for dia- monds seemed to sparkle and flash everywhere. The words written above the arch were fascinat- ing. but my inborn curiosity led me on. I had not gone far when I was met by a decrepit old gentleman who asked me in perfect English the direction in which I was perambulating. I ex- plained as best I could that 1 was an explorer and was looking for Mr. Merlin. He said: Follow me,” and 1 did. through transparent halls, ascend- ing staircases, and descending staircases until at last I arrived at what I supposed was the recep- tion room. The reception room was certainly pa- latial. but it made me somewhat shivery to find myself surrounded bv ice. 1 did not have to wait long before Merlin arrived. He greeted me rather effusively, asking me how my wife and children were. I was considerably astonished, as you may imagine, at this, but I answered they were well when I left. He conversed with me about my mother-in-law. and even about the coming presi- dential nomination. About this time I began to feel a gnawing sensation in my stomach, and was glad when Merlin, as if reading my thoughts, asked me to stay to dinner. I accepted his invitation readily. He escorted me through many transpar- ent passages until he brought me to a banquet hall such as I had never seen before. It was brilliantly lighted, but it puzzled me to find where the light came from. Not a chandelier, gas jet. or electric light could 1 see anywhere. My curiosity prompted me to ask Merlin. He replied that he had placed small pieces of radium in every cake of ice in the hall, and by his marvelous power kept every cake from melting. This was very astonishing to me. � 3� but 1 was bewildered not more by this than by the conversation of the assembled guests. After my introduction to the assembly I was placed at Mer- lin’s right at the head of the table. The conversa- tion was marvelous, for never before nor since have I heard more tongue-twisting English. A very beautiful lady at my right, speaking to a man opposite, said: Mr. Dumdiddlc, the elongation of your proboscis is ludicrous.” When I looked across the table I saw a small, weazened old man with a nose almost a foot long. Another old lady at the other end of the table, speaking to a beauti- ful young girl beside her, said: Phe brilliancy of your gems and the iridescence of your variegated skirt are most beautiful to behold.” Then I. like a silly fool, thinking this talk was all a joke, cried out. in the language of Macbeth. Hold! Enough!“ Everyone turned about and looked at me in puzzled amazement. After that I kept quiet and passed through about sixteen courses with that—well, they might as well have talked Hottentot to poor, ignorant me. The last course was frozen daffodils; this may seem peculiar, but as prepared by Merlin’s cook they were delicious. The assembly then dispersed, and I walked back to the reception room with Merlin. He asked me if I wished to go home. I replied that I was in search of the pole, and would continue the hunt until I found it. He seemed pleased with my project, and offered to place in my hands some- thing that would carry me around the pole and then home. I jumped at his offer, thinking to my- self that I should like to get out of this place, where the inhabitants were so full of large words that phrases fairly protruded from their heads. At the touch of a button the old man appeared again. Merlin told him that I wished to sec the pole and then go home; he also told him how I was to do it. The old man disap- peared. but soon returned. I bade good-by to Merlin and then was escorted to the door by the aged servant. When he had placed in my hands what I supposed to be a magnet, for my hands clung to it like glue, he said in his outlandish tongue that lie wished to bestow a gentle kick upon me. I was so elated to think that 1 was go- ing to see the pole that I said: All right.” The people in Merlin's palace do not always say what they mean, or perhaps he had a grudge against me. for 1 never received such a kick in my life. But I soon forgot it. for I was speeding along at a terri- fic rate through the air. 'Hie magnet, or whatever it was, had drawn my arms out straight before me and was pulling me along at an ever-increasing speed. My speed soon began to decrease until I 132 Till : SOMERVILLE RADIATOR at last came to a monster whirlpool. The water about foamed and splashed and many great cakes of ice were sucked into the mighty grasp of the vortex. I circled around the raging pool twice, and then started south at a terrible rate. I ac- tually went so fast that the hairs on my head be- gan to come out and the buttons on my coat ripped off. As it was night-time the cities that I passed as I tore along looked like streaks of light. My speed soon began to decrease as before, and I recognized the country below me. Then I saw my native town, into which I descended, still con- trolled by the mysterious power. When I landed, the magnet flew from my grasp and went speeding off into the darkness. I came to my house, entered, and immediately sought im- bed. The next morning I arose and went to tell my aeronaut's wife the sad news that I had left him in the Arctic. When I rang his doorbell he appeared himself. I was so astonished that my legs shook and 1 had to hold on to the door-knob. When I had recovered sufficiently he told me how he came back. Me said that while standing near the bal- loon something popped into his hands and carried him upwards at a great rate. He said he looked back once and saw the balloon following him at the same pace; the front of the gas bag was all caved in by the resistance of the air. The balloon landed near the house: as proof of it lie took me out and showed me it. This experience I shall never forget, but sometimes I can’t help but think that it must be a Welsh rarebit dream. Gbe IRoom at tbe JEnb of tbe Gombor .16v? Ibevbeut Cooper, JE.f TO The night was stormy; the wind howled fiercely around the eaves and chimney, making the fire in the open hearth roar with a noise like the rum- bling of a train through a rocky gorge, or like the rushing of water through a deep canyon. It was a night when one likes to be in the house with good company about him. and good cheer beside him; and I had both. I had gathered together a company of old college chums at my bungalow, where I had decided to keep open house, so to speak, during the Christmas season for those old comrades who had no better place to go. This was our last evening, and. tired of card playing and boisterous amusement, we had drawn our chairs around the open fireplace, where I had had a fire built for the final revelry. The spirit of the evening seemed to have affected us, and finally the talk drifted around to the subject of ghosts. As soon as the subject was broached. I fancied that one of our number, Alfred Armstrong bv name, started, and a wild look seemed to steal into his eyes, but perhaps it was only imagination, for the light was flaring and uncertain, dazzling one’s vision. Collingwood, one of the merriest of the party, scoffed at the idea of spirits, and, in defence of his assertion, told an amusing story of an adventure of his younger days. The talc was humorous, and seemed to carry his point, but, somehow, it did not take; we were not in that mood. Collingwood was slightly piqued at the failure of his wit, and sneered: “Come, wake up, you all act as if you had just seen a ghost.” Perhaps,” calmly replied Armstrong. “At least I, for one, have.” We were all anxious to hear about it, and so he said: Fill up your pipes, and draw your chairs closer, and I will try to give you the main facts of an incident which caused my hair to turn gray ’ And he pointed to his head, which, although he was only thirty-two years old, was already tinged with white. When we had done as he had bidden, he began. Three years ago I was traveling in England when I met a fellow. Masters by name, with whom 1 soon struck up quite an acquaintance. It was about this season of the year, and as I was situated then as I am now, with no home to go to. he in- vited me down to his father’s house, in Kent. I was very glad to have the opportunity to exchange an anticipated dreary Christmas for what would surely be a merry time, for he told me his cousins would be at the house, and they were charming girls; so I accepted. Then nothing would do but must come down for the week preceding, and Tuesday, the 18th, found me lodged in his paternal mansion. The house was situated about a quarter of a mile from the railroad station. The nearest neighbor lived perhaps an equal distance on the other side of the railroad. The mansion itself was an old one, dating back to the fourteenth or fif- teenth century, but being strongly built, was in good repair at that period. To reach the room I was told was to be mine, one had to pass through a long corridor, the floor THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 133 of which was covered with a heavy velvet carpet that looked as if it had been laid expressly for this Christmas festival. A heavy door, which was usually kept locked, divided the corridor. At the end of the hallway was a short flight of steps, then a walk of about eight feet. There, with the door facing down the corridor, was my room. 1 he room was an extra large one and about twelve feet high. The ceiling was crossed by two beams about eight feet apart, in the middle of which were driven two heavy staples. Almost the only furniture was a large wooden bed, a bureau, and three chairs. The floor was covered with a heavy carpet. After having spent a jolly evening with various amusements, we prepared to retire. A servant ac- companied me to my room, and after wishing me a good night, went back through the long hallway to the main part of the house, locking the corridor door behind him. After a smoke 1 went to bed and .quickly fell asleep. About two o'clock I was awakened by an over- powering odor which almost suffocated me. I struggled out of bed and made my way to the win- dow, which 1 opened. The fresh air soon revived me, and turning back to the room, I was surprised to find that the odor had completely disappeared. I went to bed again, and after tossing about for some time fell asleep. In the morning I awoke feeling very dazed, and with a strange feeling in my throat, but gathering my scattered wits about me. I recalled the event of the night, and resolved to make investigation. At the breakfast table, in the course of conver- sation, I casually inquired if ever they had heard anything strange about the room in which 1 had slept. Squire Masters looked at me before an- swering, then said: “Why, no. 1 don't believe that room has been used since I have been here any- way.” Then 1 told my story. ____ The squire laughed at it. and remarked that per- haps I had swallowed more ale the night before than I had thought. I let it pass at that, but was not convinced. The second night I went to bed early. About midnight I was again awakened by the same suffo- cating smell. Again 1 opened the window, and again the odor passed away. The next morning 1 told my story. The squire thought it a fine joke, and told me that I must not drink so much ale; it wasn't good for me. 'Phis made me angry, and I decided to make a little experiment. Perhaps everybody knows that a so- lution of calcium hydroxide, if brought in contact with any finely divided mixture, will become quite cloudy; so procuring some from one of the servants, I prepared a solution. L’pon retiring. I placed the solution at the foot of the bed. 1 went to sleep as usual, and about one o'clock the same thing occurred again, the sickening smell filling the room, only to vanish when I opened the window. In the morning I found my solution of calcium hydroxide quite milky. This certainly was a con- vincing argument. Hurriedly dressing, I hunted up the squire, and telling my story showed him the solution, all milky. The butler was standing by, listening to my story with wide-open mouth and staring eyes. The squire, noticing him, turned and demanded, “Well, sir? ’’Please, sir,” he stammered, the door, the door in the long corridor has been open every morning for the last week.” And what of that? asked the squire. Why. I locked it every night, and I put the key in my pocket,” was the astonishing reply. What!! You locked it every night, and you carry the key in your pocket?” Yes, sir.” I he squire's voice trembled as he turned to me and whispered: Say nothing about this until we investigate. There may be something to your story, after all.” He cautioned the servant to do the same, and then we went to breakfast. That evening he made known his plans to me. He asked if I would consent to stay one more night in the room at the end of the corridor. I promised I would, for I was as anxious as he to clear the mystery. Then.” he said. I will myself see that the door is locked, and I will put the key in my own pocket.” This plan was accordingly carried out, and eleven o’clock again found me in bed, trying to sleep. Finally I fell into a troubled doze. I was suddenly awakened by a sound as of the banging of a door. I sat bolt upright. The room seemed quite light. The door was open, and I could see half-way down the corridor. That also seemed flooded with light. I saw noth- ing for a moment, when something seemed to be moving. What was it? Ah! in the thick vel- vet carpet, on the floor of the passageway, I could discern footprints like a man walking towards me. That was all. just the footprints. At the steps they disappeared, when suddenly, what was that at the door? A man was standing there, dressed in the robes of a priest of five cen- turies ago. His back was towards me, when [Continued on page 141.1 34 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Artisan (Boston), the editorials in your Febru- ary number, as well as the exchange column, are unusually good.

Carlton tried to imitate a grizzly beast, and suc- ceeded in scaring Miss McD—11—d when he roared. Miss B—d—n: I see a voice.” “My mouth hears a face.” We have spelling lessons in IV. English E. Teacher reads from themes written in class the following: Her voice spoke. “The king and queen took Psyche upon to the mountain, where he fell asleep. Mounting his saddle he flew off with lighting speed.” That fairy chorus sounded like a cat fight. In English: What do the old coffee houses of England correspond to in the present day? Miss McK—: Town meetings. The editor regrets to announce that Carl Law- rence has left school. Let him have our best wishes for future success. Sullivan is the man in the moon. Let the Senior class be well represented on the diamond. What a tragic scene that was in the last play! Miss B—d—11 had a hard time dying. Teacher: “When do we have the highest tides? Pupil: When the moon is full. V e are now informed in Englisn that young men generally begin to write verses when they fall in love. Beware, boys! I're—on in English : “The old Saxon poem, 'The Ruin.’ refers to the destruction of the City Bath. What's that? Some more Finance Com- mission? The Senior class was very fortunate in being able to listen to the Honorable Mr. Luce, who gave us a very interesting talk and emphasized the thought, of being able to do a simple thing ex- actly right. Did Perry's affinity let him take that hair-ribbon to wear as a necktie on March 17? Adcock at class meeting, after heated debate: I nominate that we adjourn. Has some young and pretty maiden made a leap-year proposal to Mr. —? Some one took his breath away. Pre—on looks more intelligent every day. Has everyone made a court visit yet? We are told that Carlyle devoured all the books he could get hold of. (Hidden. Rolfe, Laurie, and Cohen arc num- bered among Weston’s followers. They walked to Concord the other day. We regret that Mr. Hadley has been sick with the grippe. We hope he will return soon. Mills makes a good clown, but he cannot talk like a girl. Miss Sc—t in Latin Hall: Where is my duke, my duke? We all enjoyed hearing Miss Drake sing. Craig has been writing a story since last Sep- tember on How the Boys’ Brigade Paraded. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 391 (Hidden and Rolfe were seen talking together in the hall. They had serious expressions on their faces. What does this mean—some new inven- tion? There was a young man from Cid, He kissed his girl on the eyelid. Said the maid to the lad, “Your aim is very bad. You should practice a bit.” So he did. ’09 Class Editor, Ernest W. Chapin. It is quite surprising to notice how proper that naughty “Tech” division has been lately. Keep up the good work. Winter has been completely annihilated by Palmer’s hot air, blown off in Room 32. We will now have some warm weather. Iiistorv Teacher: “Tell me all vou know about John Eliot.” Blanch : He died in the Tower.”' How to get to the Junior dance: First, get a ticket (if you don’t know the committee, ask Les- ter. he can tell you). Second, get a girl (Lester can’t help you there, we leave that to you). At the telephone in Room 36: Hello — Yes” —“Five cents, that’s all 1 haven’t spent. Puzzle, —what was said at the other end of the line? “Tum breviter Dido, voltum demissa, profatur.” “Then briefly Dido spoke, casting her face on the ground. Dioclesian, we arc told, created four men, and then split them in halves! Our hero marches grandly to the board, seizes the unoffending pointer and performs numerous military gymnastics with it, and then solemnly pro- claims: If lines be drawn tangent at the points of contact of the lines bisecting the arcs subtended by the chords forming a regular inscribed poly- gon-----” but here the distracted instructor calls a halt. Who cannot hear is blind, according to At— Miss Green— is anxious to know,—Can a per- son die of love? One on Nebuchadnezzar: “N—n—n—neb- neb—well.—Hippopotamus, or somthing like that.” Yes. the notes have been more freely contrib- uted this month. Keep up the good work here, too. But hasn't someone a few serious thoughts? TO Class Editor, Stuart Foster. A few more ambitions of the ambitious ones:— Cooper—to be in a minstrel show. McGinn—to be a sport like the Junior Gould. 11. Gardner—to know a girl. Latin, 1911.. Crispin—to play baseball. Gibson wants it understood that he objects to his nickname. Bill Field misses the music so much that he, has to sing a solo in Room 12 every Wednesday. Now that the Tech Division are having building, construction in mechanical drawing we shall ex- pect them to be living in their own houses pretty soon. G—v—n would like to know which is the right hand side of the page. Am-—Id is well satisfied with his seat in Room 15. Is Miss Newh—se of the same mind? Miss Benjamin is fond of debates, even in Eng- lish. Did you ever read any of B—ow’s poetry? It is of the same rank as that of Dionysius. Anyone wishing applause for a recitation, recite in Room IX. McGinn will clap for you. Great excitement in Room 19. Miss Bryan had a big bug. II. Geography B witnessed a great downfall of the Orange, on March IT, when McG—nn got up to recite. The Ditcher took a walk through a Field on Monday (Munday) to find the Moon (Winn), but was chased by a Savage for Miles down the Bike. An Actual Occurrence—Teacher: How have you marked that sentence?” Freshman: I haven't punctured it at all. G—r—ior desires to get all the theorems in his book and needs help. Who'll apply? McKinney must eat Quaker Oats because he’s always happy. Miss S—v—ge's attempts to live up to her name arc fruitless. For information on everything and anything, please apply to Miss Brown. If she hasn’t the right thing, she’ll given you something just as good. We regret to announce that the rumor concern- ing Miss Hooper and Miss Swallow, in the last issue, is false.

Heavens! He had an expression of evil on his face such as 1 hope never to sec again. I was transfixed for a moment, looking upon his face. Then my eyes followed his gaze. What was that? From the two staples driven in the beams hung two figures, one of a boy. the other of a girl. They were struggling in the last throes of death. Then the overpowering odor filled the room, and I fainted. By five o'clock 1 could stand it no longer, and went over to the main part of the house. The cor- ridor door was wide open. Early as it was. the squire was up. When he caught sight of me he exclaimed : '1 leavens, man ! You’re as white as a sheet!! What's happened?” I told him as briefly as possible. lie called a servant and said: Get this gentle- man something to drink, quick ! Then turning to me, he said: “You don't know how sorry 1 am that anything like this has occurred to you in my house. But here, drink this, it will make you feel better. Little was said during breakfast of my experi- ence. though they all seemed to know about it. I could not stay in the house another night. Even the thought of it almost overpowered me. So 1 packed my valise and that night I was in London. I did not stay there long, for I was a nervous wreck after my adventure, but soon left for'a health resort in France. About two weeks later I received a letter from Masters, which read as follows:— Dear Armstrong: I hope this letter will find you much improved after your startling experi- ence. My father has been investigating the his- tory of the old house, and finds that it was once used as a sort of monastery. The owner of the house was dead, and had left his two children, a boy and a girl, in the care of the abbot, who could use the house as a residence until the children be- came of age : but in the event of anything happen- ing to them, the house should remain in his pos- session. The abbot, wishing to keep the house, and the children being well and strong, he conceived the idea of doing away with them. At least they were never heard of from the time the boy was twelve years old. Mv father had the little flight of steps at the en- trance of your room torn down. It was found to be a concealed closet, in which was a chest. This opened, revealed the skeletons of two children. I think that explains the mystery. And that is why I believe in ghosts. 142 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Scenes jfrom a Car TOUnbow J6 ? iDaufce iDicfeson, X., '09 e were at last comfortably seated in the soft, high-backed scats, bound for the East. The baggage-master hastily put the last trunk on board, and then we slowly pulled out of the sta- tion. Soon all the signs of the city were left be- hind. and we entered a region of broad meadows and pasture lands. Except for the lack of trees, it was a bit of rural Xew England, transplanted to the West; there were the grass-grown lanes, the garden plots, and. to complete the picture, tiny cottages, with ivy-covered porches and roofs. Then we came to a long stretch of level country, where grew countless acres of wheat. There were hot. dusty roads, running like long, brown ribbons between the fields of yellow grain, big ranches with their lazily turning windmills, and many barns and out-houses, and the ranch houses them- selves. with their unpainted boards and wide, com- fortable porches. The grain fields, standing yel- low and golden, almost reached the height of a man's head. It was not long before we reached the woodlands. Here and there on the hillsides were long piles of freshly-cut firewood awaiting shipment. Now and then a red-shirted. broad-shouldered woodchopper on the side of the hill would pause from his work and. leaning on his axe-handle, wave a friendly greeting to the passing train. Just before we came to the little station, by name Jack Fish, we passed several Indian tepees. The squaws were lazily sitting at the en- trance of their well-worn tents. Some of the men and boys were herding up the large bunch of po- nies: others stood by the railroad tracks, busily smoking their queer pipes, and talking earnestly to one another. We were now almost in sight of Jack Fish. A few stray cows were quietly nib- bling the grass by the side of the tracks. Pres- ently we came to the station itself ; what a deso- late. lonesome place it was! There was not an- other building in sight, but probably there were a few in back of the hills. On the opposite side from the station, and very close to the railroad, was an old freight car which was being used for a good purpose. W ithin its walls a family were making their home. Several small children came to the door and waved to us. It was rather a queer sight.—but then one sees many queer sights in the Western lands. We were soon living out from the woodlands into the glare of the alkali plain. We passed many herds of range cattle, and once in a while we could see a Mock of sheep on a hillside. Countless wild ducks filled the small lakes and ponds. After a time the ranch houses and small shacks became more numerous, a fact that indicated a town near by. Finally our train slowed up in front of a small station, which, although it was built on the same style as the last one we passed, was quite different in other respects. A number of Indians were seated by the platform displaying articles of bead- work for sale. The guardians of the herds in their picturesque garb, every article a necessity of their calling.—the hairy chaps. the broad sombrero, the clanking spurs, the glistening slicker. —sat smoking cigarettes. Back front the station was the “Mountain House, a typical hotel of the plains. From our car window we could sec the Chinaman busily engaged preparing the noonday meal. Leaving this interesting little village, we con- tinued our journey. At times the rolling hills and the level plains, extending inland until lost to view, presented a black and cheerless aspect as the result of recent prairie fires. The adjacent lands were clothed in luxuriant verdure, and rich bottomlands reached for miles inland, until bounded by rolling hills. When at last, nearing Medicine Hat. we entered the confines of civilization, the sights of the habi- tations of Western pioneers, and fields of yellow corn, cheered the remaining hours of our journey. TIIE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 43 XT be Hearn Although handicapped by poor weather during early spring, the high school started its baseball practice March 21 at Tufts Oval. A large num- ber of candidates reported, and under the careful scrutiny of Coach Dickinson, a former high school player, batting practice was started. 'The follow- ing Monday there was no practice, owing to poor weather. Tuesday, however, the candidates were out again, and worked hard at batting and fielding practice for the rest of the week. The first “scrub game took place Saturday, March 28. Monday. March 30, the first cut was made, and the following candidates were retained: Xolan and Hayden, catchers; Mixer, Serivcn. Lougee, Pike. Earl, and Lewis, pitchers; Mitchell and Cliff, first base: Sharrv. second base; McLean, Garland, Donahue, Eislier, and Ennis, shortstop; Wiley. Dickerman; and Scgrue. third base; Mahoney. Al- len. Craigen. Miller, Duggan, and Hooper, out- fielders. 'flic veterans are: Mitchell, who was last year’s fast first baseman: Captain Sharrv. who mav not be able to play his old position, second base, on account of being debarred by the League board on March 30: Wiley, who will probably hold third base again ; and Mahonev and Hooper. ---------------------� ■� ...+■� -------- Hbe Coacb Allie Dickinson was the coach elected by the Athletic Association, after the resignation of Leo HafTord, to look out for the team this year. Dick- inson attended the Latin High School at one time, and played end on the football team and second base on the baseball team. After graduating from high school he went to Brown, where he played second base on the baseball team for four years. Dickinson is now a post-graduate student at Har- vard. XT be Jfirst Game The first schedule game of the season, with Pos- ton College Prep, on April 11. resulted in a victory for Somerville by a score of 5-1. The high wind prevented a fast game because of the difficulty of nidging the Hies. Somerville started in scoring in the third inning, and for the remainder of the game kept an easy lead. The hitting throughout was weak, only six hits being made. Certainly there is plenty of room for improvement in this important line. On the bases the team showed snap, as several runs were the result of stolen bases. -------------------------- I'he Phi Delta basket ball team, made up of scholars in the Latin and English schools, finished their season March IT. with a victory over the Fort Andrews team. The Phi Delta team has been playing nearly all the basket ball season, and has won most of the games played. The team ex- pects to organize again next season, and hopes to have a good schedule.

Mr. Jordan has been elected class photographer at Emer- son College at least once, and he has always offered special rates to Emerson students. Artistically, the work of Mr, Jordan is of a high order; it speaks for itself, and cannot be surpassed. But it is not of the work of the Jordan Studios we wish to speak in particular, but of the kindness of its managers and the attention shown us as a college. This is in a way not often met in business, and is therefore all the more pleasant to encounter; it makes one feel as though getting photographed were not an unpleasant duty, like going to the dentist, but a pleasant half-hour spent with some one anxious to please, and who makes business interesting and the results most satisfactory.

Though a fair number went to the first league game with Rindge Manual Training School on May 'i. there was little show of interest and no cheering till the brilliant scoring of the sixth inning. Even then the ap- plause was mere yelling rather than organized cheering. Last month we urged the importance of the election of cheering leaders by the Senior classes, but nothing seems to have been done. Once more we call upon the presidents of the Senior classes to take the matter in hand. We have won the first league game. W hether or not we win the championship will depend in no small measure upon the support of the student body.

Not only is photography valuable from the artis- tic point of view, but it is of ines- timable value as a life-saver and a scientific aid. It is now possible to use the X-rays in methods peculiar to photography, and their use has proved a great boon to the medical science. Improved photographic plates and films for making expo- sures of incredible speed have given results never before dreamed of, such as beautiful pictures of the skies and of lightning flashes. A camera called the cinematograph has been invented that repro- duces accurately every phase of life in rapid mo- tion by the aid of exceedingly sensitive or “fast films. It was only recently that a wonderful in- vention was placed in the hands of the photog- rapher of a plate that not only makes excellent pictures, but reproduces them in their natural colors. In photographing by the aid of X-rays no spe- cial apparatus is used outside the regular X-ray producing machine. In order to take X-ray photographs, it is necessary to place the subject in such a position as to insure absolute quietness. A photographic plate enclosed in a light-tight black envelope, which is in turn enclosed in an en- velope of orange paper, is placed beneath the part to be photographed, and as close to it as possible. The X-ray producing tube is adjusted to a con- venient height directly over the enclosed plate, and the electricity turned on. The exposure varies in length according to the thickness of the object. Brain specialists are particularly enthusi- astic over this invention as a medium for learning whether clots of blood are pressing on the brain, thereby causing insanity. One well-known law- yer. while defending his home from burglars, re- ceived a severe blow on the head which rendered him insane at times. By means of an X-ray photograph, a shadow was seen that indicated a pressure on that part of the brain. An operation was performed in which the pressure was removed and the lawyer’s reason was restored. But per- haps the greatest uses of X-ray photographs arc in locating fractures of bones, and in classifying mum- mies and mummified animals that are so dried that the family to which they belong cannot be ascer- tained without an exhaustive study of their bones and skulls. From the beginning of the science of photog- raphy. the need of a fast plate, i. e., a plate with which exposures lasting only a thousandth part of a second may be made, has been felt by all experi- menters. Such a plate is now almost universally used. As it is almost an impossibility for a small child to remain quiet even for a few seconds, it makes it very difficult to photograph them without the aid of very sensitive plates. In laboratories electro- graphs or pictures of electric sparks are produced by exposing a fast” plate to the path of a spark I$0 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR jumping from the poles of an electric machine. The plate is first enclosed in envelopes similar to those used in X-ray work, and placed between the poles of the machine, at right angles to the line that would connect them. The spark leaps out. penetrates the envelopes, exposes the plate, and. rushing over its edge, leaps across the air-space to the other pole. The cinematograph, which en- ables the scientist to take and reproduce moving pictures of rapidly-moving objects, is possible only by the use of a strip of film coated with the same power. The traveler photographed the bird, and on developing the plate he beheld, much to his surprise, the image of a bird with wings pointing straight upward. The mystery was solved. The bird flapped its wings at very frequent intervals, but did so with such rapidity that the human eye could not detect the motion. The latest and most wonderful of all improve- ments in photographic plates is the Lumierc.” color plate. On one of these plates any object .may be photographed in its true, natural colors. i. j-o HOOKS ON THE WING OF A WASP (highly magnitied). Photo by Author. sensitive composition as are ‘ fast” plates. The value of fast plates as used in hand cameras is illustrated by the following instance:— A traveler aboard a sailing vessel in tropical seas observed that an albatross which had been following the ship for several days apparently never flapped its wings. The great bird, soaring with motionless, outstretched pinions, seemed to be upheld and propelled forward by some unseen Vivid sunsets and sombre foliage alike affect these plates, and give to them colors more true than could be painted by the brush of an artist. Such plates are now very expensive, but promise in the future to be within the means of every photog- rapher. So many varieties of photographic, sensitized papers have appeared and they are all so much alike that only a few need be mentioned. The THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR old-fashioned papers requiring sunlight as an illu- minant are being replaced by papers that are affected bv artificial light. In portrait galleries a platinum paper is extensively used that makes a photograph strongly resemble a fine steel en- graving. A very pleasing effect is secured by using a paper coated with a sensitive film resem- bling aluminum. Many instances arise where, because of the dis- tance of the subject to be photographed, the photographer secures very poor pictures with only faint outlines, or, at best, very small reproductions. To do away with this difficulty, a new process called telephotography” has come into use. It I5i process for securing pictures of camps and forti- fications which would have otherwise been impos- sible because of the deadly fire from the Boers' guns. Microphotography is rapidly rising to a place in the foremost rank of importance in the science of medicine. Before this time it has not been defi- nitely known just what conditions existed in cer- tain diseases, but now, with the camera and the microscope, lasting pictures may be made of the death-dealing germs. The apparatus for this process is simple, and amateurs may easily get beautiful results with flowers and minute animal life. A light-tight box is arranged for the camera UNDER SIDE OF THE PAINTED BEAUTY.” Photo by Author. originated partly from the use of ordinary field glasses and the telescope for observing with the eye; and later on with the photographic attach- ments to the great telescopes in observatories. Now. however, cameras arc made so compact as to be carried around from place to place, and yet so arranged that if the view to be photographed is across a wide river, the long-distance lens is simply adjusted and the “telcphotograph” made. 'Pile one great drawback in the use of this lens is the length of exposure that is required with it. This will doubtlessly be overcome before long. Pile uses to which this process may be put are many. While traveling in the mountains a perfect photograph of a snow-covered peak miles away may be taken. I11 the war between England and the South African republic, England used this with a very long bellows. At the end is attached a powerful microscope, while farther up is an ordi- nary photographic lens. The box must be held very rigid, for long exposures are always required. When the plate is developed, one may see in detail minute objects not visible to the naked eye. These, when thrown on a screen from a magic lan- tern, make beautiful enlargements. In summing up the facts which show what photographers of to-day are doing, it is clear to see that the camera is ranking among the most important of all scientific instruments. Photo- graphs may be taken of immense lightning flashes and of minute electric discharges: objects hun- dreds of miles away may be made to appear as if they were but across the street; flowers and sun- sets of the most vivid colors may be reproduced 152 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR accurately and beautifully in a single process; photographs of rapidly-moving objects may be made and reproduced in life-size moving pictures: but perhaps the most wonderful of all, disease germs so minute as to require the most powerful microscope to render them visible to the human eye may be photographed and reproduced upon a screen in such proportions as to make them ap- pear as giants—even to mankind. In no other branch of science arc there more possibilities or is there more interest shown by the public than in the science of photography. H iDav of fllMsfovtunes By? Xillian B. TTrea well, X., '09 X 1C day not so very long ago my father and mother planned to make an all- day visit to one of my uncles, intend- ing to leave the house in the care of my elder sister, with me as her first assistant ; and as it is quite a long distance to my uncle’s, they had planned to leave home early in the morning, and return some time in the evening. However, they had not done all the planning, by any means! Janet, my seventeen- year-old sister, had laid out in her mind a pro- gramme of the work she intended to do during the absence of my parents: and when 1 was told only a few of her plans. I was more than surprised that she should even think of trying to do so many things in one short and. as it afterwards proved, eventful day. Of course I expressed my views on the subject: younger sisters always do. But I was soon silenced. Janet had made up her mind to give the house almost a complete cleaning as a surprise tor my mother's return: and when once made up. what could alter my sister's mind? The evening before this “day of misfortunes'' the alarm clock in our bedroom was set at I o'clock, iu spite of my vehement protests. This was one of the first of the well-laid plans that had entered Janet's active brain. She would rise early, and nothing should be lacking to the dainty break- fast which my mother and father were to take be- fore leaving. There would be neither rushing, burnt toast, nor muddy coffee ; everything would be perfect. This was her intention. We went to bed early that night, for neither of us was used to rising at such an early hour, and even my sister admitted the need of a good night’s rest in preparation for the coming day. I lardly had I gotten to sleep, at least, so it seemed to me, when the unfriendly alarm clock sounded its awakening call. I awoke with a start, and looking at my sister, who was sleeping, although restlessly, I decided to lie in bed just a minute longer. It seemed that before that minute had even begun I felt some one shake me. and when I opened my eyes, beheld Janet glowering at me, her jaw swol- len to such a size that I couldn't help laughing at her strange appearance. My laugh was quickly ended, though, for I soon found out that my sister was in anything but an amiable temper. It was provoking, one must admit, to have one’s plans frustrated in the very beginning! Janet was angry, fearfully angry ! She had been awake most of the night with a most inconsiderate tooth, as a result oversleeping, and now at I! o'clock there was hardly sufficient time to get together any kind of a breakfast before our parents would be ready to leave. As her tooth was aching terribly, and her temper in a precari- ous condition, my sister was not in an enviable frame of mind: and naturally everything went wrong. The fire would not burn, the water would not boil, and everybody and everything was to blame except Janet herself. My father and mother, after a somewhat meagre breakfast, left the house very much later than they had expected to. and with repeated injunctions to my sister not to attempt to do much work until after she had been to the dentist’s, at least. Of course Janet did not pay any heed to what they said! She had made up her mind to do so much, and do it she would, no matter how much her tooth ached or things went wrong. She would not acknowledge herself beaten. All this time my sister had been growing crosser and crosser, and the crosser she became the worse things went. I was ordered to clear the breakfast table, my little brother was sent to the drug store for some remedy for the aching tooth, and then my sister started in to carry out her somewhat dis- arranged plans. Xo sooner had she begun to wash the dishes than one of my mother's best cups slipped from her hands and broke to pieces. The cup had no business to be used for breakfast, but THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 153 in her haste Janet did not notice that she had put it on the table. Needless to say, this accident did not tend to calm my sister's rutiled feelings, and when a few minutes later, while she was tidying the kitchen, a flat iron fell from the stove right on her toe, it seemed as if the crisis had been reached. But no. indeed! Forgetting that the iron was hot, and seizing it to place it again on the stove, Janet severely burnt her hand, and then there was cer- tainly a scene. After the wounded toe had been doctored and the burnt hand bandaged, my sister once more ral- lied her forces. She decided to rest, however, until my little brother had returned from his errand, thinking that she might feel a little more like resuming her work when the remedy had been applied to her tooth. It was some time before Jack re-appeared, and then it was with a woeful, almost frightened look on his usually happy face, lie had met with a misfortune, another to add to the already long list. On his way home he had tripped and broken the bottle containing the much- desired medicine for my sister. Then Janet really lost her temper, and Jack and I were glad to leave her presence, he making for the back door, and I for the front. The last of the misfortunes of the morning oc- curred while Janet was alone in the house, for Jack and I did not come back until dinner time. We heard of it then, however, and both were glad we had escaped our sister’s wrath. She had thought of a bottle of toothache drops that my mother al- ways keeps on a shelf in the cellar, and had deter- mined to secure the bottle and try the remedy, for her tooth was still aching unmercifully. The shelf was a high one, and my sister, attempting to climb up, in some way had slipped and fallen right into a tub of soft soap standing near by. Perhaps the rest can better he imagined than described! By this time Janet’s intentions were badly frus- trated. but after a rather impromptu lunch, she de- cided to try to carry out the remainder of her plans. The fire in the cook stove was out through bad management, so, intending to do a little cook- ing. my sister lit the gas stove. Turning around too quickly to reprimand Jack for some misde- meanor. her skirt touched the flame and in a minute was on fire. Janet had sufficient presence of mind to crush out the flames before they had time to spread, and thus saved her life. She had extinguished the fire none too soon, however, for her skirt was a blackened ruin. The shock to her nerves was great, and my sister spent the re- mainder of the day in a condition bordering hysterics. We waited impatiently for our parents’ return, and never again do I wish to be left with my sister to experience such misfortunes. H Cbilbboob IRemimscence 36 ? ID. J15. G., IE., 'IO NE day in the latter part of July my two cousins and I went into the neighboring country in search of blackberries. My cousins, Muriel and Allan, lived in Cambridgeshire, and therefore knew nothing of the land, but they accepted my guidance. Although we intended to be away all day. we bur- dened ourselves with nothing in the way of eat- ables, as I knew of a friendly farmhouse where bread spread thickly with home-made butter, rich, creamy milk, and currant wine were dispensed with a liberal hand. We walked along the high road for some dis- tance; then, crossing the muddy Mersey, we left the road and started for the open fields. We walked along a narrow woodland lane that wound in and out among the pleasant coverts, sometimes bringing 11s to the edge near the fields, and some- times taking us into the midst of the game pre- serves, with nothing around us but trees. We easily half filled our pails from the low shrubbery that bordered the lane. By noon we reached the farmhouse, and after a long dinner and a short rest, Muriel and L wished to go on to a place where I knew from past experi- ence there were more and larger berries than those we had already gathered. But Allan had struck up an acquaintance with the farmer’s son. and preferred being shown the horses and initiated into the mysteries of butter-making, rather than tramping over rough fields. Muriel and I went on, leaving Allan to study farming at close range. Muriel was quite strong for her age, and she boasted that she could walk as far and as fast as I, which indeed she could, but as she was two months lay of the i 54 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR older than 1. and as she kept me constantly re- minded of the fact, I had to disclaim her walking powers to offset her assumed superiority due to the difference in our ages. Finally, however, we both succumbed to heat and thirst; we sat under an oak tree at the side of the road, and by mutual consent consumed our berries. While we were engaged in this comforting occupation, we saw a figure coming down the path towards us. It turned out to be a man of middle age. His dress, which was very dusty, proclaimed him to be a clergyman of the Church of England. He spoke to us very pleasantly, lie had a dark red book projecting from his pocket, which, I feared, was catechism. Muriel offered him the remaining ber- ries, which he accepted, and as the catechism did not make itself evident, we soon fell into pleasant conversation. Until that time my idea of the priesthood was dimly associated with embar- rassing questions on Bible history that could not be answered, and with long, weary sermons of which incomprehensible words of ten syllables formed the basis. Our chance acquaintance, how- ever, destroyed this theory. The dark red book proved to be “Kipling’s Ballads,” from which he read us many delightful poems about soldiers. He also told us many tales about foreign lands and things that happened “long, long ago,” so it was quite late when we remembered Allan. I had hoped our friend would tell us who he was, but he did not. and 1 was puzzled, as well as dis- appointed, for I knew the vicars of the three neigh- boring parishes, and this man was surely too old to be a curate. Who, then, could he be? Muriel and 1 said good-by to him. and after watching him out of sight, we started homeward. When we reached the farmhouse, there was no Allan. It seemed that the farmer had driven to the village, and Allan went with him on the wagon, thus leav- ing him only a half-mile walk from home. We dragged our dusty feet homewards, envying Allan as we went. Muriel was tired and I was cross, so we quar- reled incessantly all the way. But we reached home all right, and after a good wash, felt much better, and by the time we had reached the second cup of tea. Muriel smiled gaily at me across the tea table, despite the previously reiterated declara- tion that she’d never speak to me again. Almost a year later we were invited to stay Whitweck with some distant relatives in Chester. My father was abroad, so my mother and I went, my brother being at boarding school. The festivi- ties of Whitsuntide ended on Pentecost Sunday with a big service at the cathedral. The cathedral was packed, and we had to sit quite far back, so that the people in the chancel and on the altar looked like dwarfs. The proces- sional went straight from the vestry door to the chancel, but at the recessional they marched down the centre aisle and back to the vestry through a rear door. 'Phis brought them near us. The pro- cession was a brilliant one. First came the cross- bearer. then the choir, then the clergy, and lastly the bishop. It may have been the swish of silken vestments, it may have been the brilliancy of his scarlet cape, anyway, I raised my eyes from my hymn book and looked right straight into the eyes of the bishop, and the face under the mitre was the face of a man that I had last seen under a very travel-worn hat reading Kipling to two blackberry- stained children. two Maths in jforest flbarh 36 ? IRutb I£. TTucher, ’OS NE lovely morning last summer I went with a friend for a walk in Forest Park, Springfield. Entering by a narrow, sandy path, we found our- selves after a few minutes on a wide road, bordered by large nut and pine trees. On the nut trees were many chestnut burrs, which foretold a good harvest of nuts as soon as Jack Frost put in his appearance. There were many blue jays in the park, and every little while one was seen or heard; sometimes other birds were heard, and now and then a squirrel would frisk across the path or run up a tree. The road continues bending here and there, and going down hill all the time. Near the end of the road is a pretty little rustic pavilion. The pavilion stands on a point of land quite a little higher than the land around it. This THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 15$ point comes out like a peninsula, and is sur- rounded by a ditch. A little bridge of logs leads from the path to the pavilion. The pavilion is round and has a sloping roof. In the centre a seat is built around a pole. The whole thing is built of logs. Soon this road runs into another just about as lovely as itself, though not so shady. On either side is a small meadow. Through this meadow runs a little brook, which crosses back and forth from one side of the road to the other, here and there forming a little waterfall. Its banks at this time were blue with forget-me-nots. For nearly the whole length Ad the road the brook follows it. In one place it tfVffvs into a large pond, which in winter is used for skating. Several large arc lights are placed on the banks of the pond, and mane it very light for those who wish to skate in the evening: here and there are benches for the skaters to sit on while putting qu or taking off their skates. On the bank farthest from the road is a little hut. I believe one can go in here and rest or get warm. Almost opposite the skating pond is another of about the same size, but this pond is nearly full of cat-o’-ninc tails. Just below these ponds is an artificial waterfall. It is very pretty, but at the same time it docs not look natural. On either side of it arc seats where one may sit and watch the fall. Near this fall arc the lily ponds. These ponds are small: I think there may be nine or ten of them in all. The largest ones are filled with Egyptian lotus. The others contain red, yellow, pink, and white pond lilies. It is very pleasant to walk among these ponds in the morning and notice the beautiful colors of the lilies. Some are very rare. I believe the red ones were the rarest this summer. On both sides of the pond arc hills. On the top of one is the Barney estate ; the top of the other is leveled, and a fence is put around. Back of the fence are settees where one can sit and enjoy the excellent view. Crossing the brook, we climbed this hill, going up by a flight of steps made of old grind stones taken from the Barney and Berry skate factory. When we reached the top we felt that our exertions were well rewarded. At the foot of the hill flows the beautiful Connecticut river. There arc no trees on the nearer side, and a fine view of the river and opposite shore is ob- tained. The farther bank is covered with trees, and the green of the trees looks so pretty against the clear, shining water, with numerous small boats going up and down. The Barney house and Mausoleum on Laurel Hill just opposite can be seen. Although we did not go over to the Mausoleum at this time, 1 am going to stop long enough to tell a little about it. It is built of marble and granite. Stairs go up from either side to the floor, which is protected by a roof supported by four marble columns. Here are seats, as in so many lovely spots throughout the park. Under- neath the floor is the vault in which Mr. Barney’s son is buried. Two iron gates enclose the vault. The walls arc of iron. ()ne looking in can see in the open space between the gates three pieces of marble on pedestals. These pieces of marble are carved to represent very plain caskets. On one is carved the name, the (fate of birth and of death of Mr. Barney’s son. The Mausoleum has never been opened since it was built, when the body of the son was placed in it. When Mr. Barney dies his body is to be placed in it, and that of his wife, who is already dead and is temporarily buried near the house. On Mr. Barney’s death this beautiful estate and park is to go to the city of Springfield. A part of it has already been given to them. Mr. Barney is the head of the Barney and Berry Skate Company. On each side of the steps going up to the Mausoleum is a carved figure something like an Egyptian sphinx. Just in front of the Mauso- leum overlooking the river is a monument to the Barneys. Returning, we left the road at a junction with another road, where a handsome drinking fountain is situated, at which people, dogs, and horses may get water. Phis fountain is a memorial to one of Springfield’s prominent men. but I do not remem- ber his name. This road was another of those shady, winding roads in which the park abounds. After dinner we started out for the band con- cert. We followed a path which is considered one of the prettiest in the park. It winds in and out, almost doubling on itself in places. Soon we could hear the band, and then we came out on the main road. This road was almost black with car- riages, automobiles, men, women, and children. The band was a good one, and the selections fine. While listening to the band, we walkol around and saw the animals, which are near the band stand. There arc many kinds. I never saw such a large variety of rabbits. There is a whole row of cages in which arc rabbits, then come Belgium hares and prairie dogs. In another place there are owls, eagles, and magpies, foxes and raccoons, also wolves; in another part buffalo, Japanese deer, and many other species of deer, and an alpaca goat, I think it was. Then there are alligators, THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 156 ducks, swans, and geese. I11 the barn is a small wild cat; in this barn arc monkeys, parrots, and numerous small birds from other countries. Many of the parrots can talk. I heard a bird sing- ing, and was watching the little birds to see which one it was, and a parrot at my elbow kept saying: Rubber! Rubber!” to me. A friend was in there, and she spoke to her companion of how homely one parrot was. The bird immediately turned around, and said: 'Oh, shut up!” Outside is a cage full of pigeons. Then in some other cages are pheasants, partridges, and rare species of liens and ducks. Peacocks proudly strut around in many parts of the park. Then there are two cages of bears. The gardens around this part of the park are very pretty. One is very unique. Red and green plants are arranged so that in red letters one reads Forest Park and the date. They have an arrangement by which they can change the figures each day. After seeing the animals and hearing the band, we took a path which leads around a chain of ponds. I11 many of these ponds are ducks and swans. They start with a small pond under the trees, and continue for some dis- tance. joined by small, artificial waterfalls, each pond a little lower than the other. I think there are about six in all. We made a circuit of these ponds and then returned home. after Miflb School, tiClhat? Hundreds of young men in the high schools of this country are confronted with the problem, After high school, what?” To the members of the graduating class this comes with the greatest force, as they will find in a few short weeks that it must be answered, and answered correctly. As the writer of this article is dealing with thou- sands of men who have endeavored to answer this question, an,! in many cases have done so incor- rectly, this word of advice may not be without value. Young men, if you can at any expenditure of time, money, or personal convenience attend and graduate from an American college or technical school, do so by all means. A recent statistical summary has disclosed the startling fact that while but one man out of every hundred obtains a col- lege or technical education, over fifty per cent, of the highly-paid and desirable lines of employment in America are monopolized by this one per cent. In other words, the chance for success is fifty times as great for the college man as for his less highly trained brother. If you cannot go to college, let us urge upon you the great necessity of remaining in the high school the entire four years, and getting everything possible out of such training. The great army of young men who each year leave our American high schools before graduation, and then seek employment, only to find before them long hours, smali pay, and hard work as long as they live, is striking testimony as to the short-sightedness of this policy. Let nothing influence you to cut short your high school course, but follow it to the end, and do more than is required of you. You are the only one who will suffer if other action is taken, and, conversely, are the one to be most benefited by pursuing this wise policy. Upon graduating from the high school, if you do not go to college, endeavor to locate in some line of business for which you have a natural in- clination. Do not merely drift into the first thing that presents itself and expect to succeed. Every person has certain natural inclinations, and these are the ones most easily developed, and affording the greatest satisfaction in their develop- ment. 'fry, therefore, to locate yourself in a posi- tion which, first of all. is attractive, no matter how hard, and then identify yourself with some high- grade evening school, where, during your hours of leisure, you may perfect yourself in your special subject, and obtain the nearest equivalent to a col- lege or technical education. Thousands of young men have done this to their great and lasting benefit. The choice lies with you,—an education and complete equipment in some particular line of work, or the hard knocks and uncertain existence of the untrained, who be- come hopelessly the football of fate. Graduate from high school first of all, and let nothing pre- vent your so doing. Go to college or a technical school if it is a human possibility to do so; if not, enter the best evening school of which you can learn, and make yourself thoroughly master of your subject, and the matters of income, hours of labor, and position in the community will take care of themselves.

XTbc Bnniversarg ot tbe Xatin School On Friday, April 24, tin entire student body of the Latin School assembled in the lecture hall to commemorate the fifty-sixth anniversary of the founding of the Latin School. Dr. Baxter made a short introductory address, in which lie spoke of the propriety of commemo- rating the founding of the Latin School, and then announced the following programme:— Piano and violin. Ruth Smith, ’08, Bertha Stone, ’08, Carolyn Weckes, ’08. Reading. Gladys Bodge, ’09. Reading. Florence Markcl, ’10. Singing. Clarence Hoyt, ’ll. Singing. Helen Weckes, ’ll. Reading. Raymond Wiley, ’08. Singing. Eva Bancroft, '08. Dr. Baxter then related something of the his- tory of the school in a brief, but interesting, man- ner. and spoke of the graduation of the first class, of which our distinguished music teacher, Mr. Hadley, was a member : he expressed his regret that on account of a business engagement Mr. Hadley was unable to be present.

The pupils of Room 35, Latin School, surprised Miss Anna L. DcAvellar at her home, 11 Arthur street, Monday evening, April 27. The guests presented Miss DeAvellar with a ring, set with a ruby and pearls. The evening was a most enjoy- able one. Vocal selections were rendered by Miss Palmyra Lemos, Clarence L. Hoyt, and Harold Marks. Miss Currier and Miss Ilcckbcrt enter- tained the company with comic readings. John Henry Marshall, with his jokes and comic phrases, added greatly to the enjoyment of the party. Norvillc Millmorc, the class president, and Miss Ruth Cummings, secretary, were present. Re- freshments were served by Miss DeA vellar. 'Hie party broke up at about quarter to eleven, and the guests all went to their homes declaring it a great success. E. G.

Lord, of Columbus avenue, was Tues- day evening awarded the Rotch scholarship, which consists of $2,000 to be used within two years in connection with architectural study and travel in Europe. The successful competitor is a son of Israel (de- ceased) and Catherine Lord, and was born in Som- erville. He has lived for years in the family home on Columbus avenue, and is twenty-six years of age. He was graduated from the Pope School in 1896, and from the English High School four years later. He took a course at the Massachusetts Normal Art School, and then entered the Massa- ISKAEL P. LORI) chusetts Institute of Technology, from which lie was graduated in 1901. He has since studied abroad and established an office at 15 Beacon street, Boston. The Rotch scholarship which Mr. Lord has won was established in 1883 by the heirs of Benjamin S. Rotch, a wealthy Boston merchant, stipulating that the money must be used within as previously stated. Mr. Lord is the twenty-fifth winner. The Boston Society of Architects has charge of the contests. Mr. Lord won the second prize of $75 when he first tried for the Rotch scholarship two years ago. He has not yet decided just what he will do. “TTbe Girls of ’76” The ( liris’ Dramatic Club of the Somerville Eng- lish High School scored a distinct success on Fri- day evening. May 8, when they presented the drama, The Girls of ’?( , at Unitarian Hall before a large and enthusiastic audience. The parts were all exceptionally well taken, with an absence of consciousness alike of self and of the audience rarely accomplished in amateur acting. Special mention might be made of the excellent conception of the very difficult character. Grandma Mayfields; of Barbara and Dolly, whose grace was not all hidden by the costumes of British officers; of Jacqueline, the French maid, with gestures scarcely less French than her speech: the dignified Madam Mayfields, outgeneraled by her daughters, and the little loyalist.

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 159 ClYDt SCOT 1 or Academe (Albany, X. Y.) is one of those school papers which devote most of the space to the lit- erary department. The stories arc good, and the paper is unusually fortunate in having so many to draw from. However, the paper might be made more interesting by adding more school notes and a few cuts. Enterprise (Roxbury) has a very short exchange column and no cuts. Gleaner (Pawtucket, R. L), your literary depart- ment is very good, also, your exchange column. Scientific notes are something we do not find in many papers. When we do we expect to find something new to add to our store of knowledge. High School Panorama (Binghamton, N. Y.) continues to rank among our best exchanges. It gives us pleasure to read this paper; surely it must be of greater interest to the students of the school. Lakonian (Laconia, N. H.) has made rapid prog- ress during the two years of its publication. Megaphone (Franklin), the alumni number is excellent. Would that all schools might have equal success in preparing such a number. Par-Sen (North Parsonfield, Me.) has a good lit- erary department, but the arrangement of the paper is poor. Pinkerton Critic (Derry, X. II.), the alumni de- partment is arranged in an interesting manner. Latin High School Register (Boston), unlike the Lakonian, could not have progressed very rapidly during its long period of publication, if we may judge from its standing now. Neither exchange nor alumni notes are present. Red and Black (Claremont, X. II.) has an excel- lent exchange column, an abundance of poetry, and very fine editorials.

Sharry was not in the game, his appeal for reinstatement hav- ing been denied by the league. Mitchell acted as captain. Mixer pitched for Somerville, and did good work until the ninth inning, when he went up in the air a little, and Pike was sent in to finish. Mixer fielded his position perfectly and outclassed Fritz, the Rindge pitcher. The Somerville team played the best game they have played so far this season, and hit the ball strongly. Rindge scored in the first on hits b Harlow and McDonald, with good base-running. Somerville tied the score in the second. Mahoney scoring on Fairbanks’ muff. Rindge scored again in the third on two poor throws by Garland. Somerville got two in the third. Xolan's pretty double start- ing the base-running. In the sixth Somerville bunched four hits, and three runs came in. Rindge got two more in the eighth on poor play- THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 167 ing by Somerville, and Somerville scored the same on good batting. Rindge in the ninth made four tallies and tied up the score. Somerville then came up to win.

Mr. Jordan has been elected class photographer at Emer- son College at least once, and he has always offered special rates to Emerson students. Artistically, the work of Mr. Jordan is of a high order; it speaks for itself, and cannot be surpassed. But it is not of the work of the Jordan Studios we wish to speak in particular, but of the kindness of its managers and the attention shown us as a college. This is in a way not often met in business, and is therefore all the more pleasant to encounter; it makes one feel as though getting photographed were not an unpleasant duty, like going to the dentist, but a pleasant half-hour spent with some one anxious to please, and who makes business interesting and the results most satisfactory.

'10 ARTHUR LEIGHTON, ’ll i ;4 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR UaleMctorv The present number completes the seventeenth volume of the Radiator. When the present staff assumed management at the beginning of the school year, it found the paper so heavily bur- dened with debt that the school committee felt called upon to prohibit the publication of the Radiator until a substantial reduction of the debt had been effected. Accordingly, our first task was to organize a campaign for the raising of the Radiator's debt, and towards this every one of the 1 .( 00 pupils of the High Schools was invited to contribute. In this connection we must not forget the teach- ers, who by their generosity and kindness helped to enlarge and collect the subscriptions. We arc happy to say that, as a result of this campaign, more than half of the debt was paid, and satisfac- tory arrangements were made with the Somerville Journal to continue the publication of the Radiator. We wish to urge upon the incoming staff the necessity of continuing the work we have begun. Let their first duty in September be the starting of another subscription, and let them keep the papers circulating till every cent of the remaining debt shall have been paid. Thus will the good name and the credit of the Radiator be restored, and thus will the labors of those who are to con- duct the paper be made lighter. Then let the staff see to it that the Radiator does not again become encumbered with debt. The most important innovation of the year has been the reduction in the size of the page. Though originally prompted by considerations of economy, experience has shown that the change was in every way desirable, and we trust that our successors will continue to employ the present size of page. We relinquish the management of the Radiator with the confident assurance that in the hands of our successors it will continue to diffuse its genial rays even more copiously in the future than in the past. Vale atque salve. w. � ►. H Carfc of Ubanfes The Debating Society some time ago unani- mously voted to apply the unexpended balance from the proceeds of their joint debate to the further reduction of the Radiator debt. Our hearty thanks are due to the Debating Society for its wise and generous action. . Zbc Ifncomtno Staff In accordance with the announcement in the April number, the election of the incoming staff occurred on May 22. Ernest W. Chapin. English, '09, was elected editor-in-chief: by his witty class columns and well-written stories he has already shown his fitness to direct the destinies of the Radiator. Miss Vivian Beers, Latin. ’09. will as- sist Chapin. The exchange column will be under the guidance of Miss Lorinc Whitney, Latin. ’09, and the alumni notes will be edited by auss Edna TIIE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 75 Tcele, English, ' 9, and Miss L. E. Chickering, Latin, '09. The finances will be under the super- vision of George M. Hosmer (faculty). Howard McLean, Latin, 09, as business manager will be assisted by Stuart Foster, English, '09, and J. El- liott Slater, Latin, 09. We feel that we should be remiss in duty if we failed to urge upon the newly-elected business manager the importance of beginning the work of securing advertisements for next year's issues at once, and continuing without rest until the adver- tising columns for next year are filled. The position of business manager is one of great importance, and one that calls for much judgment, tact, and hard work. � . r treasurer's IReport We have already expressed the opinion in a for- mer issue that inasmuch as the Radiator repre- sents the student body of the Somerville High Schools, it is right and proper that they should be fully informed concerning its finances. We accordingly publish in this issue the treas- urer’s report for the year to June 1, 1908. We take this occasion to express to Mr. Hosmer our most p-rateful thanks for the interest he has shown in our work and the kind advice he has given dur- ing the past year. We suggest that a similar financial report shall be published in the June number each year, and that a report of the entire year be published in the first issue of the coming year. at r at EH Baxter's iReception On the evening of Saturday, May 9, Dr. and Mrs. Baxter gave a reception at their home to the Senior class of the Latin School. During a part of the evening Dr. Baxter entertained the class by exhibiting photographs of former graduating classes. This was especially interesting to those who recognized fathers and mothers among the earlier graduates. Bountiful refreshments were served, which were certainly much appreciated by some of the bovs. The programme of the evening was as follows: Piano selection, Muriel Galloupe; solo, Helen Phelps; violin solo, Carolyn Wcckcs, accompanist, Ruth Smith; class history by Bertha Stone and Ordway Tcad, read by Bertha Stone; violin solo, Carolyn Weekcs; class prophecies by Fannie O Brion and William Patrick; recitation (mono- logue)', Raymond Wiley; poem, Jean Withered; solo, Helen Phelps. All then joined in singing America.” and the evening closed with cheers for Dr. and Mrs. Baxter. Zo the Graduating Glass of 1908 Three cheers for aughty eight, the class that has been foremost in scholarship, foremost in athletics, and foremost in the various activities of the schools. Fellow-classmates, this dear old hill and these beloved walls will know us as a class no more. But though we go forth in glad anticipa- tion of what the future may have in store, we shall always look back upon our years in Somerville High as among the happiest and most profitable of our lives. We shall always be proud to be reckoned among your children, dear Alma Mater. r Zo the Class of 1909 Juniors, you are now to enter that august body that you have so long and so reverently looked up to, the Senior class. Whether the mantle that we are now casting aside will worthily descend upon your shoulders will depend in a large measure upon the complete- ness with which you cast aside frivolity and assume the dignity of a Senior. To perhaps the majority of you the coming year will be the last exclusively devoted to preparation for your future career. Make the most of it. n ► Zo the Class of 1910 Sophomores, you have reached the half-way mark in your high school career : you are about to pass from an under class to an upper class. 176 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Press forward with renewed determination to im- prove to the utmost the many and great oppor- tunities that arc open to you. We of nineteen- eight, your elder brothers and sisters, urge you to remember that in this most favored country merit and earnest endeavor will receive its due reward. We bid you farewell. tr Zo tbe Glass ot 0 You are to be congratulated, Freshmen, on ac- count of the very creditable reputation which you have established during the school year now draw- ing to a close. May that reputation be sustained and increased during the remaining years of your course. Sec to it. Freshmen, that the good treat- ment which you have received from the Sopho- mores and upper class men shall be shown to next year’s Freshmen and to succeeding classes, r Gbc Ibiflb School Orchestra Great praise is due the High School Orchestra for the creditable showing it has made at the vari- ous school functions during the past year. The first of the year Rupeti Ekscrgian. the director, conceived the idea of reviving the latent interest in music by means of an orchestra, and his efforts have been instrumental in raising it to its present high standing. Besides being an expert violinist. Mr. Ekscrgian understands the organization and the leadership of orchestras. He will play the violin obligato to “The Vision,” one of the selec- tions to be sung at graduation. The most impor- tant events at which the orchestra was represented in whole or in part during the past year were the interscholastic debate at Everett, the shorthand convention (with a few other school orchestras), and the Chelsea relief concert. All were brilliant successes, and reflect much credit upon the musi- cians. 'I'he members are: Miss Ritchie, Miss Weeks, Mr. Quigley, first violins; Miss Wilson, Miss Johnson, Miss Lovcjoy, Mr. Barber, Mr. Hamman, second violins; Miss Sargent, Mr. Chaffee, cornets; Mr. Brigham, drums; Mr. Earle, piano. A few outsiders have also assisted at various times. ibr. Soutbwortb’s IResignation Gordon A. Southworth has tendered his res- ignation as superintendent of schools of the city of Somerville, his resignation to take effect on August 31. Mr. Southworth was elected super- intendent June 26, 1893, and has therefore com- pleted fifteen years of service in that responsible position. Previous to his election as superintend- ent of schools, he served for twenty years as prin- cipal of the Prescott School. He is the author of several excellent and widely-used text-books, and for years past has been considered one of the lead- ing school superintendents of the state. During GORDON’ A. SOUTHWORTH. Superintendent of Schools. the fifteen years of service as superintendent Mr. Southworth has seen the schools of Somerville grow from 389 teachers and 7,200 pupils to 337 teachers and 14,223 pupils. During this time the following schools have been built: English High, Hodgkin , Brown. Durell. Hanscom, Carr, Perry, Baxter, Bennett, Lowe, Proctor. We congratulate the city of Somerville for hav- ing the valuable services of Mr. Southworth for thirty-five consecutive years. May your future de- clining years. Mr. Southworth, be as peaceful and happy as your past years have been busy and fruit- ful of good. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR i 7 Ifoovv Burton iftrovet� IHimself a flfian By? C. H. HMUlen, %., '00 ED BURTON lay back in the canoe, idly watching the rings of blue and gray smoke which rose above the long-stemmed pipe at which he was puffing. lie was aroused from his reverie by a gentle voice, which called out in a chiding tone: Ted Burton, why in the world don t you do something, instead of lying there taking life easy? Be a man! As this ungracious sermon sounded in his ears, Ted was propping himself up on the pillows, in order that he might see the owner of the voice, which came from around the bend in the river. In a canoe of the same size as his own sat Peggy, wearing an immaculate pink dress, which Ted thought made her look like a Grecian goddess. Little wisps of brown hair curled in ringlets about her white brow, and on her cheek was a becoming brown tan. Surely she was good to look upon. Ted was not to be allowed this opportunity for any length of time, for Peggy, with a becoming toss of the head, disappeared around the bend from which she had first made her appearance. All this had been done in so short a time that Ted could hardly realize what had happened. With a start the words came back to him : Why don’t you do something? Be a man! Somehow the words hurt him. Why, he could not tell. In a short time he sprang from the canoe with a bound, and walked hurriedly along the shore. Jove, but Peg was right! he exclaimed. Here I've been waiting all my life for things to turn up, instead of going ahead and acting. I can prove myself a man. I will do it. After all, it takes a mere slip of a girl to get you started. While these thoughts had been rushing through his mind, Ted had reached the house- Two of Ted’s companions of the same age joined him, but with a nod of recognition Ted went up the stairs two at a time, and disappeared behind the door of his own room. “What's the matter with Ted?” one young man asked the other. “Don't know, but there must be something in the wind. You don’t suppose he’s in love, do you? The other uttered a faint grunt, and then re- plied : It would take more than love to excite Ted Burton. Meanwhile the ungracious Ted sat in a room gaily decked with college flags, pennants, and por- traits. of all sizes and descriptions. The once orderly room was now strewn with wearing ap- parel. while on the floor beside Ted stood a dress- suit case filled with garments necessary for a jour- ney. While he was sitting thus, a servant softly entered bearing a telegram. Ted slowly read it, and then threw the paper from him in disgust, ex- claiming: The dickens! Here I’ve got more money than 1 can use, and now I receive word that some hitherto unknown uncle, aunt, or some one else has passed away, leaving me the neat sum of twenty-five thousand. How can folks expect a fel- low to go ahead and make something of himself when he’s tied down by a lot of money he can't get rid of! Why in thunder they don’t leave the money to somebody that needs it is what puzzles me. I guess I must have been born under an un- lucky star. Eor ten minutes after this outburst, Ted Burton was buried in thought. Finally he seized pen and paper from the writing table near at hand, and dispatched the following message: “Give the money to the Hamilton Hospital, and leave me in peace. 'I'. Burton. Having directed the servant to send the message to the lawyer from whom he had received the telegram, he hastily snatched hat and satchel, and reached the station just in time to board the last train for New York. While society was reading the next day of Ted Burton’s mysterious disappearance, that young man was calmly surveying the landscape, as he sat in the train which was gradually nearing New York city. Passengers now and then cast side glances at the young man. who seemed oblivious of everything save his own thoughts. These, how- ever. were in a very chaotic state. There was but one thing of which Ted was certain, and that was that he would show Peggy that he could be a man. Perhaps then Peggy would—but he would not allow himself to think of the result until he saw chances of success. At last, after what seemed an eternity to Ted. the train drew into the Central station. Ted lost no time in registering at a hotel, where he dined, and retired early for the night. Of course, during the night the usual fire broke out. Ted, as in the case of most heroes, was awakened by the smoke. Naturally lie realized that it was a case for immediate action, and did not delay in notifying the manager. After all the oc- cupants were thought to be out. the inevitable i78 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR helpless maiden was seen at an upper window. Then Ted, amid great applause, ran into the burn- ing building and rescued the maiden, after which he fell unconscious. During the next four days Ted lay in a hospital cot. still in an unconscious condition. As time wore on. he grew gradually stronger, until one day he startled the nurse by asking for the edition of the paper published the day after the fire. He started at once to read the account of the fire, but his heart sank within him when he saw before him on the first page the startling announcement of how “Ted Rrunton had saved the young lady at the “Brunswick. Ted let the paper fall unheeded to the floor, while he said: “Well, if that doesn't beat the Dutch! I might have known it would be that way. though: it's still the same old luck- Well, it's some consolation to a fellow to know that somebody’s got the credit of his good work. Just as Ted uttered the last words, the nurse quietly entered the room, and said: Mr. Burton, here are to-day’s papers if you wish to look at them. Ted listlessly took the proffered papers, and was soon engaged in reading the various articles. In turning a page, he saw the startling head-line: “Mr. Burton. Young Harvard Graduate, Saves Many from Death. The papers went on to say that Mr. Burton had sent $25,000. through his law- yer, to the stricken people of Hamilton. It stated that a pestilence had broken out in Hamilton, due to improper drainage. People had fallen on every side, struck down by the terrible scourge. The arrival of Mr. Burton's money put an end to the disease, for a new body of nurses and doctors were procured, and temporary buildings were erected for their comfort. The account ended with a great tribute to the generosity and noble conduct of the brilliant young man. The paper dropped from Ted's hold, and lie gazed steadily at the wall before him in a dazed condition, until the following message was placed in his hand : Come home at once. We know all.

I don't care so much for myself, but I’d like to have it for your sake.” “Never mind, Ted.” the young lady replied, as her little white hand slipped confidingly into the large brown one, “you’ve proved yourself a man, and that’s worth all the badges in this whole wide world.” Down tbe S5av J6 ? JErnest X'Cl. Gbapin, JE.f ’00 IFTEEN years after graduation from a technical school, the ordinary civil engineer is not inclined to do much broad jumping, even though he was on the track team at college. But my brother Carl was always erratic. So it was not surprising that he should suddenly drop his business cares to take me for a week’s outing just before my Freshman year at college began. We naturally chose Chatham, the ideal place to a yachtsman, or. at least, to these yachtsmen. Four days of thick fog had prevented us from indulging in our favorite sport. But on the fifth day a fresh northerly breeze blew out the fog. and our spirits revived. About the middle of the morning Carl found me on the hotel piazza, my feet on the rail, enjoying forty winks by way of excitement. “Come on, Kid (that has been my nickname from early childhood), since we have to pay for the boat, we might as well use her once,” said he, shaking me from my dreams of geometrical French. All right, old man. Got any grub?” “Yes, we can stay till supper time.” Although the hotel was a mile from the water, and the boat anchored in the outer harbor, a half- mile row from shore, we were soon on board. We found the litle cat boat all her owner claimed, fast and seaworthy. Before noon we bad reached the can buoy, and by the time our appetites asserted themselves we hove anchor at Monomoy Point. “I call that a dandy little craft. I'd like to race her in the eighteen-foot class,” declared Carl, as we munched our sandwiches. “Sure, I agreed, “she’d be a nice boat for a little cruise.—say over to Nantucket.” Great, if the weather is good. But the wind THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 179 has backed round into the southward again. Seems to be breezing up, too. That'll make a dirty sea. with this ebb tide. I suppose the fog will blow in again. In half an hour the wind had increased from a gentle breeze to a pushing two-reef blow. We quickly shortened sail and headed homewards, for the fog bank was already threatening on the horizon. Out from the lee of the Point we found the wind indeed Kicking up a dirty sea. the green mounds rolling up around us crested with white. “I don’t like this a little bit, Kid. remarked my brother at the wheel. “Pm going to just drive her for what she’s worth. When a good skipper speaks of driving his boat, it means speed. And to the true sailor there is no greater enjoyment than to cut through the whitecaps before a spank- ing breeze. What exhilaration to feel the salt wind blow in one’s face, to feel the boat strain forward, quivering under the tugging sail, the boom rising, dipping, dashing through the wave tops, flinging the spray high in air, to plow through tlie heaving billows as a ploughshare fur- rows the soil, while the ballled waves slap angrily against the counter, and curl their foaming crests behind the rudder in vain pursuit! That is tie true charm of the sea, as subtle and powerful as it is indescribable. No one can appreciate it who has not experienced the thrill of sailing in a staunch catboat, well reefed down, and heeling under a stiff southeaster. That trip up from the Point was the most en- joyable I ever had. The wind sounded in my ears like siren music, while the pleasant creaking of the sail and spars, the rushing of water along the ship's sides, and the sound of the rolling wave crests lulled me into a beatific doze. The skv was overcast enough to let me lie comfortably on the floor of the cockpit, watching the scudding clouds, until I was rocked to sleep by the motion of the boat: motion which would seem rough to any one but the sailor who knows how to follow each sideways roll, each rise and descent of the billows. My sweet sleep was soon interrupted, however, by Carl, who jolted me with his foot, saying: “Take the helm while 1 have a look at this craft coming out. He balanced himself with easy grace, gazing sharply through the marine glass. By Jove! That boat is certainly jumping! What a fool skipper, only one reef! No. a whole sail, and close-hauled at that! Say, she’s heeling dangerously! Come up a bit and let’s get in their way. Possibly they’re in trouble.” Accordingly, we trimmed our sheet in a little, and altered our course so as to pass near them. The two boats drew rapidly together. As we mounted the waves, we could see that the other boat, a cat somewhat larger than ours, was having a hard fight. The two “prep school boys sailing her evidently did not know how to handle such a wind and sea, and in their ignorance were doing just the things to wreck an ordinary boat. As Carl had said, the whole sail was up and close-hauled, although they were heading several points off the wind. As the boat bounced over the waves, the sail alternately flapped empty when she plunged into the trough, and filled as the next wave, raising her bow, pushed it away, careening the boat so that they scooped several buckets of water from the top of each wave. The boys were thoroughly scared, and well they might be, for each roller threatened to capsize them. One fellow was bailing with furious energy, while the other tried to steer. What little knowledge of the art which he pos- sessed being driven from his head by fear, he took each wave incorrectly, turning almost broadside instead of bow on. Put vour tiller down! DOWN! yelled Carl, as we rushed by their stern. “Keep her head into the wind!’’ Now, Kid. stand by when I give the word. he snapped, jumping aft to the sheet. I lard-a-lce ! I spun the wheel over, mv brother hauled in the sheet with lightning deftness, and we had turned in the twinkling of an eye back toward the boys. You must run up as close to their quarter as you can. directed Carl, going forward beside the mast. I saw in a flash what he was planning. You can’t do it in such a sea! I yelled. I can swim. he returned, as he settled himself like a crouching tiger. Realizing that the success of his jump would depend much on my handling of the boat. I put my whole energy into playing for the desired position. It was a hazardous thing to attempt. Roth boats were jumping about in the wind and sea pretty lively. We would flash by their stern in a quick rush, lie must spring at the instant when the two boats should be nearest, and as steady as possible. The task required an ath- lete, powerful and clear-headed. As we rapidly approached, the boys saw our intent, and prepared to help as well as they could by getting out a life- buoy and a rope. We were almost there. Carl half crouched, every muscle taut as a bow-string. He glanced at me with a confident smile. Luff up to them, but don’t strike. This was the hardest part, to avoid the boom and the rudder, slatting about, and yet get near enough. By his direction, as we reached them. I poin d the bow up dangerously close for- an in- i So THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR stant. He sprang. One light, easy, but powerful leap took him across the intervening waters as gracefully as a hare jumps a ditch. With a trium- phant shout, I turned my boat away, barely avoid- ing the boom, which was banging to and fro. “You fellows just keep her nose into the wind ’ I heard Carl say. Standing up and down in short tacks. I could see his red sweater dashing about the boat, as he put her in better sailing trim, hirst the sail rattled down part way. Although my brother is a large, strong man. he found it ex- ceedingly difficult to take in the two reefs neces- sary. For the waves were running pretty high now. making the little craft toss about quite roughly. In addition to the difficulty of keeping his balance was the task of furling the slack of the sail and tying the reef points. Now he would be yanking the reef-plat tight, leaning out over the stern, being shaken by the swaying boom, as a terrier shakes a rat. Now he would be on the cabin roof, hurriedly tying knots, one minute per- haps at the very edge of the gunwale all but pushed off.—the next astride the gaff like a cow- boy on a bucking broncho. Despite this continual bouncing, Carl rushed about with the grace and agility of experience, and had the boat trimmed down to the weather in a surprisingly short time. Then, with a wave of his arm to me. he took the helm, turned the boat's head down the wind, and made for the harbor entrance. Hastily slacking my sheet, 1 followed. “A race to the moorings,” I challenged, as I passed them. Although the larger cat was now riding the waves as steady as a veteran duck, she was still a little logy with so much water shipped during her former wild tossing. And. besides, she was evidently not a heavy-weather boat, and so Carl was unable to get the speed from her which I could from mine. I was sure of the race as I slowly, but surely, put a quarter-mile between us. At that distance the gathering fog almost envel- oped the other boat, significant of their defeat. Rut, alas! in rounding the black buoy to head northwest, I thought to save time by jibing, in- stead of coming around in a great circle, my sail being on the wrong side for a simple quarter turn. The jibe was prettily executed, but the sheet, a little old. parted under the strain, my sail spilled the wind, and I lost headway. Such was the failure of my hopes. Instead of riding tranquilly at anchor, as my defeated brother would come foaming in. ten or fifteen minutes late, I was forced to delay long enough to splice or replace the sheet. Unable to find a new rope, I must needs drop an- chor and sit down to splice the break, cursing For- tune and the man who furnished a good boat with a rotten sheet, and nothing but cod line or anchor cable to use when that parted. Since I never had occasion to do such work, I was anything but skil- ful in splicing. As I pulled my third bungle apart, I was greeted with derisive shouts from the other boat, gaily passing me in triumph. Rut this attempt succeeded. In five minutes T was under way again. In the calmer waters of the harbor my boat could take advantage of the heavy wind better than when climbing the waves outside. She buried her lee rail in the water and shot for- ward like an arrow. The water fairly boiled under the bow, which rolled two sheets of spray up in fanlike showers. The usual gurgle at the stern became a roar. The boat seemed to enter the spirit of the race as well as I. She buckled down to the work with eagerness. In fifteen minutes I was at the moorings awaiting Carl’s tardy arrival, as I had first hoped to be. So ended one of the pleasantest short trips I ever enjoyed. The day had been an ideal one for sailing: pleasant, calm weather in the morning, and then a heavy enough blow in the afternoon to make things hum. Resides, it makes one feel happv to think that he has aided in saving human life. Spring in Maine dbaC'clinc if. palmer. £., ’OS Oh. spring is the time of birds and flowers.

It’s been sech a long time sence you’ve been over I’m mighty glad ter see yer. Wal, how’s yer folks—well? That’s good. Yes, my children manage ter keep well ’bout all the time—yer see. school keeps ’em out er mischief most er the time. Yes, Johnny’s gettin’ along fine in spellin’, and Mandy’s at the top er her class. Ought ter be proud, had I? Oh, well 1 s’pect as I am eon- sid’rably. The deestrick school is a fine place ter be eddicated in. with a finishin' off at the high school. Jest think, we’re the only village that’s got a high school within forty miles of Jenston. “Yer say that yer heard the class what gradu- ated year afore last was agoin’ ter hev a ‘union? Oh. yes, that’s Miranda Snow’s class, ain’t it? I suppose yer’ll go—won’t yer? Yes, it’s on a W ednesday, the twelfth. Yer hcven’t decided yet jest whether yer’ll go er not? Oh. yer must. I guess I’ll go, ’cause Mandy and Johnny is goin’ ter sing a ‘twoet’—‘When Johnny Comes Marchin’ Hum’ is the name of it. and at the end all the boys whistle. Then Jenny White and Bill Johnson are goin’ ter speak pieces, and some er the others will sing an’ speak, too, so I guess it oughter be very good. They wanted Betty Dunstan to come ter read ter them, but she couldn’t get away from collige jest now. Could I tell yer how Fenelly managed ter let her go ter collige? Why, of course—but didn’t yer hear about it before? Wal. now, an’ I thought everybody in town knew about that. Wal, p’raps I c’n tell yer somethin’ about it. “Yer may remember that Bostin gal what came down ter visit Betty summer before last? Vincent gal? ies, that’s her—Dorothy Vincent. Wal. yer know she goes ter collige—I can’t remember which one because it had a kinder mix-yer-up sort er name. Wal. she was always tellin’ Betty about the enj’yable times they hev at collige: tho’ then I couldn't nowhere sec how they could hev fun, when they say the teachers arc strict, an’ I thought then there was only one buildin’ where all the gals lived, an' studied, an’ everythin’. Wal. many’s the time 1 went up ter Fenelly’s an’ I hearn them gals laughin’ ter beat the band. Fenellv seemed kinder out er patience with all their foolishness, but she liked Dorothy, so she let them go on, an’ the only thin she said was: T reckon Dorothy’s tellin' some more er her collige yarns ter Betty.' “Then we got ter talkin' about eddication an’ she said how Betty was smart in her studies, an’ she guessed she’d let her finish out the last year in the high school. Then I asked her if Betty would go ter collige, an’ she said no. she wouldn't, ’cause all collige was good fer was ter help yer hev some fun an' yer didn’t learn much er anythin’ there. An’ then she didn’t see but Betty had enough schoolin': she’d had more n her mother—(yet, say. Fenelly is purty well eddicated. I guess—but then as she lived in the city some, she ought ter be) an’—where was I? Oh. an' then besides it costs hunderds er dollars to get some fun at col- lige. “Wal, Dorothy liked Betty so well that she staid the rest er the summer, an' Betty and Fenelly liked her so much that they give her a swell time. When she went hum in the fall, she teased Betty to study hard so's her ma might let her go ter collige (Gwendolin Vincent, who intended to start in the next fall, would be in the same class with her if she went). An when Dorothy was back ter collige again, she sent Betty a list er studies what she’d hev to know ter get in. (That's a funny thing—ain’t it?) Wal, 1 asked Fenelly if she’d changed her mind about sendin’ Betty ter collige, an' she said she hadn't because she didn't sec any sense in goin’ there. She said it wasn't any use. 'cause Betty could hev all the fun she wanted right here to hum —and she’d let her hev all the parties she wanted an' could go to others. So I thought she’d have plenty er fun then—wouldn't you, Seliny? “Along towards June Betty got er letter an’ a invite for her and one fer her ma ter go ter the gradiation from Dorothy: an' to the beginnin’. I think it was, an’ class day. Wal, an’ what do yer suppose Fenelly did? She come down here an' told me she was agoin’ ter go! What do yer think er that? An’ the next day she an’ Betty went ter Bostin’ an' got a whole new outfit fer both er them. Betty come chasin' down after me the next day ter go up an' see the new things.

Just think of the extravagance Ecnelly went ter when she got all them things for that col- lige gradiation! '1 come near ter die when I saw all them beyewtiful things. Say. Seliny. 1 wish ycr could hcv seen ’em. My! they were grand! • An in another week Betty an’ Ecnelly had gone up ter collige. Betty sent me some er the handsomest post cards! Wait a moment an’ I’ll show ’em ter ycr. Here, this is a bird’s-eye view er the collige. Yes. it takes every inch er that land! Who’d a thought it? I asked Ecnelly the first day she got home, an' she said it was just like it. An’ here’s one er the houses where a part er the girls live. Isnh it big an’ pretty? There's stacks er girls up there. Betty says, an' they’ve got two er three er these houses—p’raps more, fer all 1 know. An this is the chapel. Isn't that grand? It must be lovely there, musn’t it? “Wal, when Eenelly got home I went up there the first mornin'. an’ it was so interestin’ I didn’t get home till supper time. Eenelly an’ Betty told me all about the gradiation—the girls wore big black coats, and board hats shaped like a square, with a point in front an’ a tassel on it—not ’xactlv a board—but I can’t think of the other word. No. they only wore these when they got their diplomas (I guess that's when, if I haven’t got the things mixed up). “They had just stacks of other han’some dresses what they wore at different entertainments they had. besides. The girls that gradiated were awful popular with every one, an’ every one had a good time. Betty says some parts were awful sad. be- cause the girls were kind er sorry not ter come back any more. Must hcv liked it purty well— don’t ycr think? Wal. the entertainments were gran’. Betty says, and it must er been about as good as a play in a Bostin theatre. I said so ter Betty, but she said: 'Oh. Mis’ Laviny. much better!' Just think- er it! Wal. Betty met lots er ivee rir!s there m’ so on the last day she went in with Dorothy wh.cn thev started ter go hum. Thev sung their good- bv song as they were goin'. an' Betty says .t was so sad that it made her cry. (Touchy little thing. ain't she? But then, Betty always was rather touchy, anyway.) Wal—oh, yes—the song was about Almy Someone—I don’t know who—an' about savin' farewell. At the end a gal who didn’t like cryin’ but liked funny things gave the cheers for that class, an' then, Betty says, they had fun all the way ter the station, ’cause all the other classes kept givin' cheers for their class. Then they cheered the collige, and dozens of other things I've forgotten about. Betty says that Dorothy looked lovely all the time, an’ that she had to give the history er the class, I guess, and she did fine, too. “Eenelly liked it great, too, an’ she said, when Betty had gone after some pi'tures she took with a camera her ma bought her to show me, she said: 'Laviny. I wish ver could hcv seen them girls. It was lovely, an’ if my Betty could gradiate like that some day. I'd be more ’n happy. An’. Laviny,' she said. 'I told yer once I wouldn't let Betty go ter collige—but I’ve changed my mind, an’ she’s goin’ next fall. An'. Laviny, don’t tell her—I’m goin’ ter keep it a surprise until her birthday in the middle of August.’ she said. T arranged it all with Miss Vincent one day up ter collige. Both Vincent girls are coinin' down ter stay the rest er the summer, an’ Bclty’U keep on with her studies so to pass the examinations. Then we’re all goin' ter Bostin. an' the two gals will go off ter collige An’ that’s just what they did. Betty came out a little ahead er Gwendolin in the esaminations, but both passed high, an’ they’re regular chums now. Betty writes me letters quite often now, bein’ as I’m her godmother, yer know, and she must hev fun. Don’t ver want me ter read yer one er two? Yer really must go ter get Sam's dinner?

Isabel Mells, 11 ., ’OS I. dear me! sighed little Miss Smythe, as she placed the last hairpin in her auburn hair. '1 do wonder how I shall manage ‘District Number Four’ to-day. It does seem to me that those scholars act. as Farmer Jones says. wus and wus' every day! Miss Smythe was the new school teacher of District Number Four in the little town of B-----. She was small, very prone to laugh at amusing things, no matter how tiny, and this was her very first attempt at school teaching. How am I to keep those sixteen mischievous children . within the bounds of reason? she thought, as she hurried downstairs to breakfast. Promptly at quarter-past eight the buggy stood at the farmhouse door, and Marion Smythe. with mind filled with resolves, climbed in beside Bob Taylor. Her heart beat fast, and she grasped her tin dinner pail with a firmer hold as the little red schoolhouse came into view. She must be digni- fied—yes. she must! Good morning, Sammie, she said brightly, as she entered the schoolroom. Wouldn't we bet- ter have some fire this morning? It seems to me to be chilly here.” Oh. yes, ma’am! cried Sammie eagcrlv, let me build it. I know where in the woodshed there's a fine chunk o' wood! Miss Smythe took off the top of the old box- shaped stove named Trojan. and raked over the ashes. Then she emptied the waste paper box into the stove, and by that time Sammie had re- turned with the wood. She left him to his own discretion as to the rest of the process, while she dusted the desks and aired the room. My! Oh. my! how unfortunate! and Miss Smythe's lips went to a peculiar little pucker as she looked up from her register. There are just thirteen children here this morning. I wonder if this really is to be an unlucky day! Arithmetic B. rise! Pass! she said. “Teacher. piped the shrill voice of Jedidiah Allen, please may I pass the water? No. it’s too early to begin passing the water. By the way. Sammie. it's getting very hot here: can’t vou close up the stove?” Sammie tried, but old Trojan was started, and when that old stove was once started, it was use- less to attempt to shut off the heat. The room grew hotter and hotter, the flies, which had been half frozen through the night, began to buzz louder and louder. Mischief went to work in the mind of Jedidiah. Say. Sammie! he whispered, teacher won’t let me pass the water. Wonder what she'd do if 1 should put some rubber on the stove? “Gee! Go ahead! Won't it be fun? She wouldn't das’t do anythin'! Jeddie, thus stimulated, took out his knife and carved off minute pieces of rubber from his eraser. Then he carefully snapped from thumb and middle finger these bits of rubber on to Trojan’s” almost red-hot top. Aritlupetic B, rise! Pass to your seats! said Miss Smythe. Primer reading class, rise! Pass! This morning we are going to learn about some- thing altogether new, children.” she said. Who wants to read first? Gracious! teacher, somethin’ smells awful here! cried Emma Desjadon. after having vainly waved her hand in the air for four seconds. Just at that moment the terrible odor of the burnt rub- ber reached the dainty nostrils of Miss Smythe. Who’s been putting rubber in the stove? she sternly demanded. No answer. 1 say. who put the rubber in the stove? she again fiercely asked. Yet no answer. It must have been some member of Arithmetic B, for you are the only ones who have been near the stove. Tell me!” ()ne by one the scholars’ names were called, and one by one came the answer. No, ma'am. When Jedidiah Allen's name was called, he, too. boldlv said No, ma’am. and in answer to the cross glance of Sammie. whispered under his breath:— I didn't put it into the stove.

Miss Smythe’s ideas of dignity became vague— they fled like frightened elves at daybreak, and left her poor, and weak, and helpless. She laughed! Her dignity was gone—yes, gone, but it was al- most recess time—she could recover it then. Two hours and a half had passed. It was time to ring the bell to call the children from the noon recess. Miss Smythe stirred uneasily in her chair —what would happen next! “Sammie. will you ring the bell? she said. Ding! Dong! sounded the bell louder and faster, until suddenly, without any warning came one faint Ding! and then a suspicious stillness, followed by muffled giggles. Something had hap- pened. She hurried to the door and looked out into the entry. There stood Sammie. still hang- ing on to the bell-rope, and looking overhead with his great mischievous eyes. He had turned the bell over so it wouldn't ring! “Children, take your seats immediately! com- manded the teacher in her sternest voice. There was a subdued patter of feet while the thirteen chil- dren crossed the room to their scats. Sammie. I believe that you deliberately turned over that bell in. order to bother me, for you know it means that a ladder be brought, and that some one climb up into the belfry and fix the bell. I must punish you. You take your book and go into that corner and stand there the rest of the day. Sammie seized his book with alacritv and walked to the corner, his mischievous spirit aiding his feet as martial music does a soldiers. Here he stood, with legs slightly bowed, his head bent forward over his book in such an exact imitation of old Judge Gray that a smothered titter completely cir- cuited the schoolroom, and little flaxen-haired Stella French, the minister's daughter, laughed audibly. Who laughed out loud? Miss Smythe asked, her voice almost choking with anger. This time she would be dignified! Whoever it was may take his place in the cor- ner opposite Sammie! and she emphasized her statement with a petite stamp of her foot. I did. answered poor little Stella, as with smiles turned to tears she took the assigned cor- ner. What would her father say! She standing in the corner with Sammie, the known bad boy of 1’� --! Oh. it was too awful to be true! And Stella's little form shook with sobs. The clock slowly ticked out the long remaining hours of school. The books were put away, the matter of who put the rubber on the stove was duly discussed, but Jedidiah, who was in some points honorable, owned up, and received his sentence. Miss Smythe turned the key in the door, and silently climbed into the carriage beside l� ob. The conversation was not animating in the least, and both were glad when the farmhouse was reached. After tea Miss Smythe went at once to her room. So this was what her life was destined to be! What a hopeless failure she was. either so undignified as to laugh or so cross as to hurt both herself and her pupils. As sleep began to hover near her. the tear-stained face of little Stella seemed to haunt her with the words of “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm : If—if thou hadst loved me—hadst loved me—thou wouldst—wouldst not have stood me—me in the corner with—with Sam Simpson.” THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR i85 3ust a (Plimpse Eg ftarg C. Smith, X., 'OS T was a beautiful evening. The wind blew fitfully in gentle zephyrs which «jp: wafted toward me the fragrance of the early blossoms. The sky was quite clear, although to the west a dark, threatening cloud seemed to be slowlv ap- proaching. and just a few white clouds drifted lazily across the starry heavens, obscuring but for an instant now and then the face of the moon. 1 hen the ‘’queen of night” would again appear, shedding a silvery lustre over all. while myriads of twinkling stars peeped merrily from behind the tiny clouds. Even the well-known old gentleman who for centuries has looked down on the strange happenings of this world from his place of vantage on fair Luna seemed to smile down more benignlv than ever before. 1 he calm beauty of the evening did not soothe, however, my troubled musings. As the breeze blew softly among the leaves, I thought 1 heard my name called. I looked around, but saw no one. Again I heard it, low. yet very distinct. I arose and looked about. There, but a short distance away, was a woman, clothed in white, standing with quiet dignity on the soft green grass, her graceful figure silhouetted against the mass of shrubbery behind. The moon seemed to cast its radiance caressingly about her. while I stood dazed and wondering. “Come, she said gently,'“follow me. 1 obeyed without a word. We had gone but a short distance, when she turned, took my hand, and whispered: Be not afraid; trust me.” As she spoke 1 felt myself slowly rising from the ground. I’p, up we went, as if lifted by some un- seen power, until we reached the clouds. 11 ere my guide, once again bidding me fear nothing and fol- low closely, started to cross the billowy clouds. I was afraid that they would not sustain my weight, and that I should fall through: to my surprise, though. I found 1 could walk across easily. Al- though the clouds had seemed huge and black as we approached, here all was brightness. The glistening ravs of the moon were reflected, and as I walked along I decided that this was the silver lining which they say every cloud has, but which seems so hard to find. It was almost heavenly, among the clouds, with never a sound to break the awful quiet, save when occasionally the faint sigh 6f the wind was heard. I dared not speak, so holy seemed the calm; but I wondered whither my guide would lead me. At last she stopped, and. turning.j aid but one word: Look. Quickly I reached her side. We were standing on the top of a huge cloud, and although it was bright about us, it was as nothing compared to the brilliancy spread out be- fore us. Looking. I saw a land such as I had never seen before. Flowers of every kind bloomed there. Rare, exotic plants clustered about tiny, shimmering lakes: here and there were fountains, whose waters, sparkling and scintillating in the light, fell down among the fragrant blossoms, and murmured and tinkled over the stones in little rivu- lets. There was but one path in this beautiful gar- den. one that neither turned nor twisted, but went straight through the centre. It looked cool and inviting: on either side grew lofty trees, whose spreading branches cast a delightful shade over the way. The one strange thing that impressed me was that the garden was on the slope of a hill, ris- ing gradually from the base, which 1 could not see, to the summit, where the path ended at a magnifi- cent golden gate. I luge golden pillars Hanked the beautiful portal, which swung open as. every now and then, a traveler, tired from his journey, was admitted. As I stood there. I saw several, one after another, stopping to refresh themselves with a cool drink, and then continuing their solitary way. to enter finally and be lost to view. The light beyond was dazzling, and at times I thought 1 heard the faintest strains of music, not such as I had ever heard, but something exquisitely divine. At last my guide, gently placing her hand on mine, said: Come, you must return.” I would have lingered, that I might feast my eves longer on the lovely scene and drink in the soothing strains, but I dared not. She led me back the way we had come, and, standing in the place I had first seen her. she re- mained motionless for a moment, then smiled, and quickly vanished. A calm, sweet peace stole slowly over me. The clouds had all disappeared, and from the clear sky the man in the moon still smiled kindly, while all about the little sparkling stars winked and twinkled.

At first the child absorbs the beauty of his surroundings without analyzing what it is that pleases. We have the phrase, as happy as a little child. which expresses a characteristic of this first stage. At school this appreciation begins to take definite form. For instance, the child no longer views colors as a chaotic mixture of beauty—he can distinguish and name each shade.

Unable to escape, the poor man stumbled to the platform, and before making a final dash for liberty, blurted out: Saw th’ lady in the water—pulled 'er out— MISS MABEL S. WELLS. Author o!

I hough we hardly agree with the sailor’s senti- ment regarding the woman, we see clearly how his action was an impulse of the moment—an auto- matic appreciation of his duty. It sometimes re- quires a shock to make one conscious of appre- ciation. A beloved official of our country has been near death’s door. The whole country, es- pecially his own state, anxiously watched the bul- letins of his condition. Then they were concerned —then they appreciated his worth and his nearness to their hearts! It may be that loss—or dread of it—accompanied by a reluctance to give up that which we prize, is the key of appreciation. At first we see only a part of that which surrounds us, as though we were looking through the key-hole of life: then something deeply affects us: the por- tals yield before our awakened emotion, and pre- sent to us a new view of the world. The child early becomes conscious of right and wrong: as related to himself, his appreciation of it is perfect! Witness his tears when he is told that he has been naughty. He retains some measure of this consciousness when older grown, as clasping that unflinching monitor, the bi- monthly report card, “he creeps like snail un- willing home from school.” Though the apathetic period may threaten here as in other directions, we find this truth holds good. in the business world America has been called “the land of the mighty dollar,” and on the surface it would seem that money, not worth, is the legal tender in the great Wall Street” of life. But it is not so—integrity in business has ever triumphed. Men who have held aloof from intrigue, who have succeeded by fair means, are still the great and honored among us. Appreciation is part of the business system! An employer wishes to promote a young man to an important position : he selects the one who will be responsible to his trust. The young man may be steady, may be brilliant, but there is one faculty that lie must possess! He must thoroughly ap- preciate his obligations to his employer, or he will not be chosen. To prevent such possible failure, when we arc- promoted into newer, wider fields of action, may we not now well consider some of our obligations? Let us. classmates, consider our privileges as we stand here on this historic hill.—one of the land- marks of American freedom! And know that we now stand here, 1.000 strong, free and equal be- cause i 1T7 � our forefathers asserted their inde- pendence then and forever. 1 horcau has said: It will be soon enough to forget them (our an- cestors) when we have the learning and the genius which will enable us to attend to and appreciate them. More directly our appreciation is due to our parents. It was their efforts which glided us over that stage when school seemed a rather useless and wholly inconvenient institution. They sup- plied the ambition which we ourselves were not to feel until riper years. It was they who gave us our first lessons on ethics and taught us the duties of citizenship! My classmates, let us not fail to appreciate these dear ones, who have so unsel- fishly striven for us. and to whom our success as good men and women means so much! As we have advanced in the subjects which we have taken up in this school, we have perhaps felt sometimes a sense of doubt as to their value to us. What’s the use? is a very familiar cry. But we all now realize that whatever the subject, it was a part of our preparation for the grand issue. Be- neath us are our stepping stones, namely, our books and drill-work : near us arc the friendly helping hands of our teachers: behind us are the encouraging plaudits of our parents and friends. What excuse have we if we fail to advance success- fully? How can we acknowledge the benefits we have received? Not with money: not with mere thanks! Classmates, our conduct and character are the measure of our appreciation. The world, a better world for noble lives lived in it by those they have trained, will be the best reward of all our helpers; as Whittier has written, thanks untraced to lips unknown shall greet them like the odors blown from unseen meadows newly mown.” I bis may well be our purpose as we endeavor to show by deeds our appreciation of the efforts in our behalf of parents, teachers, and friends. We. the class of 1908, go forth to new duties under sealed orders, for who can forecast the future? The parting hour is proving the needed force to awaken what may sometimes have seemed dormant: our appreciation of our High School course. Already our hearts arc swelling with the sentiment which the years, as they pass, will only strengthen. There are no times like old times, They shall never be forgot; There is no place like the old place, Keep green the dear old spot; There arc no friends like our old friends,. May Heaven prolong their lives!” THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 189 Xafcberman ZEbirteen By Hrtbur Hrmttaoe, ’OS I was a warm afternoon in August, and all was quiet at the house of Ladder Seven on Fourth street. In the centre of the floor stood the long lad- der truck, newly painted and shining in the sunlight. Behind it in their stalls stood the three noble grays, whose great strength hauled Seven to fires in record time, mak- ing it one of the crack companies of the depart- ment. On duty at the desk beneath the great house gong sat George Daly, officially known as Ladder- man Thirteen. The youngest member of his com- pany. he was commonly known as “Little George. “To-day completes my first year in the service,” he mused. How I wish that on this anniversary I might win a place on the Roll of Honor in the office of my chief! If I could only----- and lie fell to dreaming. Upstairs in the big recreation room the other members of the company were whiling away the warm afternoon with checkers, books, and papers. “Hello! here is a line about Jim,” came the voice of the captain from behind a paper in the further corner. At the mention of an injured fel- low-member. all were instantly alert and eager to hear the latest news of Jim. Captain Thomas continued: “‘Driver Jim Law- son. of Ladder Seven. Fourth street, has so far re- covered from his injuries, received at the big ware- house fire last week, that he will be able to leave the hospital to-morrow.' ’ ’Rah for Jim !” cried one, “he will soon be with us again. ‘Little George’ for one will be glad to see him. for I fear he does not fancy Jim’s place 011 the seat. Again all was still. Nothing broke the silence save the pawing of the horses below and the occa- sional rumbling of an L train in the next street. “Well, finally broke in Jack Lambert, let’s get----- but the sentence was never finished, for the gong below was tapping off a call. The room was cleared in an instant, and the men were down the poles and making the hitch in a few seconds’ time. Tap, tap. tap. went the gong above the desk. “Two! called some one on the rear. Tap. “One! cried the voice. Not one of Seven’s num- bers yet. Tap, tap. “821! Almost before the words were uttyred, the great doors swung open, and with a mighty plunge the three horses started the heavy truck. ith George Daly at the reins, Seven swung out of her quarters into Fourth street. There was a whip in the socket, but it was not needed to urge the noble animals on. and they were quickly plung- ing away on a long uptown run. Block after block were whirled behind in safety, the bell of the truck clearing a wav through the crowded streets as if by magic. As they dashed across Michigan avenue, “Little George saw their old rival, Ladder Eleven, a block to the north and living towards the fire. Could he reach the scene before them? Seven’s record was at stake, and with a few kind words he urged his galloping steeds on to greater speed. I le turned the corner into K street 011 the run, just as Eleven came in from the. north. There at the right was a tall apartment house enveloped in smoke. The other truck was coming like a comet, but George gained the gutter and drew up before the burning building a good two lengths ahead. Seven had won, and its record was still unsullied. I he crew, with trained skill, raised the long ex- tensions in quick order, and while thev were still in the air, our hero and a comrade were mounting the rounds. As the ladder top reached a sill on the fifth story, the axes were sent crashing through the sashes, and the smoke poured out in great rolls of black. George and his comrades disappeared within, followed by the members of an engine company with their line of hose. The police had cleared the building of its occupants before the arrival of the firemen, so their only task was to extinguish the fire, which by this time had gained great headwav. It was plainly a bad fire, and the crew of the truck went about on the upper floors opening the win- dows. George and Captain Thomas went to the roof to “open up the roof. They were the last to leave, but groped their way in safety through the thick smoke to the sixth floor, one above their ladder. Here they found escape cut off. for the wooden stairs were a mass of flame. No hope offered itself, and they began to retrace their steps to the roof, where they would be safe for a time, at least. As they were slowly making their way up 190 THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR the steep stairs, the captain, overcome by the chok- ing smoke, collapsed. Here was a new difficulty, but with undaunted courage Daly picked up bis comrade, and partly carrying and partly dragging him. gained the roof. Beneath he could hear the roar of the flames, and beside him lay the captain. Something must be done quickly, or they were lost. There before him was a telegraph cable, which ran across the street to the building opposite. In an instant his plan was made, and he set to work to complete it. He first tied the limp form to him by means of his life belt, and then slipped the steel snap of his own over the cable. He moved to the edge of the roof, and without a moment’s hesitation swung off into the air. It was their only chance- Would the cable hold? Yes. it must! If it should break, the two would be dashed to death on the pavement below, it held fast, and George, aiding the leather belt with a hand-over-hand movement, slid down the sag of the cable. He could see an ocean of upturned faces in the street below, and then he saw the big aerial truck drive under him and its crew raise the long ladder up into the air. His muscles were standing out rigidly now. and his eyeballs stared in their sockets. He heard the plop of the ladder against the cable, and saw the tops of helmets coming up. After that things got hazy. Strong arms soon relieved the cable of its human load, and the unconscious hero and his cap- tain were tenderly brought to the street. A mighty cheer went up from the breathless crowds as they reached the street, safe once more. When Little George awoke he turned his head painfully towards the white-capped nurse and whis- pered : Is the captain safe? The nurse nodded, smoothed his pillow, and the brave fire-fighter dropped off into a peaceful slumber. His fondest hopes had been realized, and his name may now be found among those of the honor men on the roll in the office of the chief. Bn Ofce to lDusfc .1Gv jfannfc Xevls £.. '09 I lail to thee.

CLASS PRESIDENTS 194 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Cbc City of Cwo Continents 3B Senefterim iDobtanian, E., '00 F course we all know that Constanti- nople is situated on two continents, viz., Europe and Asia, the Asiatic sec- tion being separated from the Euro- pean by the Strait of Bosphorus. There are three ways of crossing the strait: First, by way of a wooden bridge (which connects Europe and Asia at this point), on which no one is allowed to smoke; second, you may bar- gain for passage in a caique, a slender, swift, graceful, little boat; third, you can ride on the ferry which goes back and forth between the two portions of the city. The Bosphorus ferryboats do not much re- semble those on the Hudson river; but rest as- sured, for what they lack in elegance they make up in novelty. The feminine members on any ferryboat will find their accommodations in the women's apartment, which is only a portion of the deck. It is closely screened from the view of men passengers by canvas curtains. In the seclusion of this enclosure the Turkish women throw back their veils or their bright-colored draperies, and usually occupy themselves during the whole pas- sage in making and smoking cigarettes. This is the general usage among women of all ages and all grades of society. Scutari, an important part of Constantinople, of which it is sometimes called a suburb, is itself a town of .' 0.01)0 inhabitants. History tells 11s that this is the place where Xenophon, in his retreat with the lo.ooo, halted seven days to dispose of his booty. Also, it is the spot where Constantine the Great (after whom the city is named) won the vic- tory which made him master of the Roman em- pire. It was here that Florence Nightingale min- istered to the wounded soldiers brought from Crimea. The place itself is uninteresting and ugly look- ing. Although it is more Oriental than Stamboul itself, yet it looks to be much cleaner and more orderly. Its rows of dull-colored wooden houses, with latticed windows, are just as one sees in all parts of Stamboul. Stamboul is the Turkish name for Constantinople. It contains many little shops of all kinds, but truly there's nothing like the bazaars of Stamboul. The distinctive feature of Scutari is its cemetery. This is the largest in Stamboul. intersected by several roads and thickly planted with tall, murderous-looking cypress trees, which are generally gray, being covered with dust. There’s not a more depressing place than a Turk- ish cemetery to see. There everything signifies hopelessness. The long, dark stones clustered among the cypresses lean forlornly toward one side, or lie bending forward upon the ground. On certain occasions the Turk will take his wives and children on a clay's picnic to the cemetery, the family sitting on the tombs to eat their luncheon; then they drop what is left of the repast into the holes which are seen at the head of every grave. But the general view of the place is one of oppres- sive desolation. Each grave has two stones, one at the head and the other at the foot. These the Turks believe to be for the accommodation of the two angels, the good and the bad, who sit to examine the dead on the first night after burial. The headstones are tall slabs or columns, larger at the top than at the bottom. The monument to a male Turk is sur- mounted by an odd-looking object, like a sculp- tured turban or fez, or whatever kind of a head- dress the dead man was accustomed to wear in life; while that of a woman or girl has a carved ornament of flowers or foliage. The two sexes are as strictly separated in death as in life. Even in family vaults, one side is reserved for the men, the other for the women of the household. Here there is also a British cemetery, in one part of which rest many soldiers who fought dur- ing the Crimean War. Three-fourths of all the “dervishes (Turkish monks) are located in Scutari, and a monastery of “howlers attracts many visitors on every Thurs- day in the year. There is here an excellent American college for girls, one of the most valuable institutions in Turkey; in here many Armenian, Greek, and even a few Turkish girls are being educated. Back of Scutari rises Mt. Bulgurhe, reaching a height of 850 feet above the sea. The ascent of this mountain is well worth making, by carriage or on foot, for the sake of the magnificent view which one gets at the summit of the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmora. Thrace, and most of the . Moslemmountains and valleys of central Asia Minor. It is There is immense pleasure in sailing up the THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 95 Bosphorus and hack. Eor the best ride, take a small steamer from the Galata Bridge, choosing one of the steamers that has both the red and blue flag, which indicates it stops at every station on both sides of the strait, going up on one side and coming down the other. The whole strait is nine- teen miles long, its greatest width being two and a quarter miles at Buyukdereh, and its narrowest spot being a little over 800 yards. Its name, which is connected with the Myth of Io. history tells us. has exactly the same literal meaning as the English Ox-ford. The whole course from Stamboul to Yeni Mahalleh is a lovely panorama of forests, hills, and valleys, here and there being marble palaces and elegant summer residences set in groves and gardens, and with innumerable pretty villages along the shore. Counting the sta- tions on both sides, there are in all twenty-eight of them. The first point of interest after leaving the city and passing the gun foundry and small arms fac- tory is the Yeni Yalideh. which, it is said, was built by the mother of the Sultan Abd-ul-Mejid. It stands in a square fronting the sea. Here, when Constantinople was taken by the Turks, their gal- leys were hauled up for transport overland to the Golden Horn. Nearby are the sultan's stables, which you can easily obtain permission to visit. Adjacent to the square is the famous Dolmah Baghchey palace, built a half a century since by Abd-ul-Mejid. It is said that the only require- ment of the architect was that this should be the most splendid palace ever erected by a sultan. Its material is white marble, and its architecture is a combination of European and ()riental styles. Here are the celebrated crystal staircase and ala- baster baths. In the glittering throne-room the present sultan holds a reception twice a year. Further on is the Cherighan palace, where the late ex-Sultan Murad (who died in 1904) passed his old age in misery, being confined and closely guarded. The height above is occupied bv the Yildiz Keosk. or Star I’alacc. the residence of Sul- tan Abd-ul-Hamid. the weak and corrupt sultan of the present day There's a road between these two palaces, the grounds of the two being con- nected by a bridge over the road. In the cute little Renaissance mosque, in the Yildiz grounds, the sultan attends to prayers every Friday. W hen he goes crowds of strangers flock out from Stam- boul to see him. to get. a view of “the sick man of Europe” on his way to his devotions. This palace is surrounded by barracks and a large force of imperial guards, no stranger being permitted to enter its gates. In the market gardens of the Bosphorus the best fruits and flowers sold in Constantinople are raised, the choicest coming from the large village of C )rta Keui. Classic associations also abound here. At Kuru Chcshmch is the place where Medea is said to have planted the laurel tree when she came here with the Argonauts. The village of Stenia. on a pretty bay further on. is the site of the temple which the Argonauts erected on their return from the quest of the golden fleece. The large and elegant wooden houses, gaily painted and full of windows, scattered along the shore, are mostly “Yalis.” or the waterside resi- dences of public persons of high rank and the min- isters of state. Many of them are built in luxuri- ant gardens. 'Hie water-gates under most of the houses open into the cellars, which are used as private boathouses. Each aristocratic household has its own “caiques. corresponding somewhat to the gondolas of Venice, with its “caique-jis,” or boatmen, who in their fantastic dresses of full, white trousers, yellow shirts, and embroidered green or crimson jackets are as picturesque as the gondoliers. One of the most beautiful of the country residences is that belonging to the sons of the late Egyptian prince. Halim. Near to this is the village of Bcbbck. especially charming for its picturesque situation and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Bcbbck is the landing place for Robert College, which every American who chances to be in Constantinople should visit. The handsome building is near the top of the hill. Between Robert College and the village is a Turkish cemetery, in which lie the first Turks that crossed into Europe from Asia, now adored by their co-religionists as saints and martyrs. A monastery of dervishes is also situ- ated on this hill. Roumcli Ilissar is the narrowest and most pic- turesque part of the strait. A Turkish village lies on the shore. The castle here was built in 1 I.V2 by Mohammed II.. who ruthlessly demolished Chris- tian churches and other buildings to obtain mate- rials for its erection. It has three massive towers, and by a singular conceit the plan of its walls rep- resents the four Arabic letters which spell the name Mohammed. This fortress, often called the Citadel of Europe, enabled him to command the strait in both directions, and to force all ships passing up or down to pay toll. After the taking of Stamboul. the castle served as a place of con- finement for Christian captives, the Knights of 196 TIIE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Malta being the first to be imprisoned within its walls. Only a little above its towers is the point where Darius led his army across to Europe on his “bridge of boats. Here, also, later the Goths and Crusaders crossed into Asia. Crossing Buyukdereh at this point comes in sight Black Sea ; but why “black is not explained by its color. 1 he aspect of the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus is quite distinctly different from that of the Euro- pean side. There are few or no evidences of that luxurious, seductive life of the waterside villas. Vegetation is more abundant, the forests are denser, the dwellings in the villages are of a dif- ferent order, and the people in the fields and on the landing places are of a more definitely Oriental type. ------------------------- Comma’s Cable flDantters J6v?

The original color of his hands was pink, but no one would know it for their thick covering of dirt. This was Tommy Brown. Receiving no reply to his question, he seated himself at the table, which was all set for supper, and beat a tattoo on it with his knife and fork until Mrs. Brown, who was a conscientious mother, en- tered the room bearing two covered dishes, from which a savory odor was escaping. She reproved Tommy for his impatience and for having seated himself before the rest of the family had appeared.

Papa Brown, looking critically at his youthful son and heir, frowned at the crooked part in his hair, his necktie under one ear. and the rim of dirt around his face, all signs of a hasty toilet, and was about to send him from the table again, when Mrs. Brown interceded in his behalf. So Tommy tucked his napkin under his chin (a thing entirely forbidden when company was present), and was soon stuffing his mouth by means of both fingers and fork. “Tommy!” cried his mother, haven’t I told you never to eat with your fingers?” Yessum. came indistinctlv from his bulging mouth. Then don't do it. And eat more slowly.” Complete silence on Tommy’s part for a few minutes. Then, Ma! Gimme some more pickle.”- Is that the way to ask for it?” Wm. Will you please pass me the pickle, mamma?” All of a sudden there was a crash, and one of Mrs. Brown's choicest teacups lay in shivers on the floor. All eyes were turned towards Tommy, who was looking at his plate in embarrassment and fear of expected punishment. But his mother only said : Now, Thomas, if you had remembered what I told you, this would not have happened. In the first place, you left your spoon in vour cup—‘don’t' number 1. In the next place, you should never reach for anything. Ask for it—‘don't’ number 2. I shall put you to bed earlier than usual to-night, so you will not forget next time.” The way Tommy behaved during the remainder of the meal would gratify any mother’s heart. He said 1 thank you and “Yes, if you please,” at the proper times, waited patiently until his elders were served, kept quiet while his elders were speaking, and excused himself politely when he had finished. The next afternoon Mrs. Brown entertained a spinster aunt of Mr. Brown’s, who was prejudiced against children in general, and boys in particular. She had never seen Tommy, so Mrs. Brown hoped to change her views about boys by exhibiting his- virtues. Therefore, when Tommy appeared just before supper time, she hustled him upstairs and put him through a course of sprouts.” She told him about the spinster aunt and her hatred of little boys, and how she wished him to behave as well as he could and try to make his aunt like him. Tommy seemed perfectly resigned to this state of affairs, and all the doubt and worry disappeared from his mother’s face. But how deceitful looks sometimes arc! All the rebellion and hatred in Tommy was aroused against this spinster aunt. He violated every rule ■ of table etiquette he knew, made remarks about his aunt's quaint dress and her bobbing cork-screw curls, stepped on the cat’s tail when she was under the table and made her howl, pinched his little sis- ter. revealed dark family secrets which he had overheard, and, in short, behaved so badly that his mother sent him in disgrace from the room, after which she tried to repair the mischief he had done, while her checks were blazing with mortification. Needless to say, the aunt was not impressed by his virtues, but Tommy was impressed by some- thing more powerful. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 97 THE ROAD AHEAD. The dawn had ccme, whose dcwv touch Dispelled the night. Releasing from Ids gloomy clutch. Bringing its beauty forth to light, A land of purity sublime. V hich had not felt the touch of Time, A wondrous plight. The hue of spring lay over all. And Joyous sound. From blooming trees young birds did call. Nor hid were they by leafy screen. For leaves or Mowers would ne'er replace The blossoms which the zephyrs chase Upon the ground. Nodding from myriad slender stem?. Shy, fragrant Mowers. Worthily called Dame Nature’s gems. Slept soundly through the passing hours, Snug in their nests of mossy given. Fit couches for a fairy queen Or princess' bower. I sought a rose to wear on my brea t, A crimson one Which, wakened from its drowsy rest, Stand. boldly forth, and to the sun Doth Maunt a heart whose golden gleam Rivals young Helios’ darting beam. Nor plays the nun. 51y search was vain and my desire Was unfulfilled. When I perceived a reverend sire. Whose snowy beard and dark attire Seemed out of place in such surrounding, With life, and light, and joy abounding. From heaven distilled. He saw my plight, and sweetly smiled. Then softly spoke:- - “Nothing is finished here, my child. The fragrant Mower, the branching cak, And every kind of life that stirs. Both lads and lassies, plants and birds. Escape Time's yoke. “Youth Is the land In which you stand A stranger now, And though you know full many a strand.

Far onward stretched a rolling plain in mist enshrouded; This dewy mist like phantom rain l,a.v like a lovely veil unclouded. While on the far horizon lay Great mountain peaks in same array. In beauty shrouded. Above the mist in fragrance space. Untethered, free. Now raised, now lowered by an unseen grace. Now slowly, now more merrily. Were clouds the‘color of the summer rose. Which, slowly drifting, oft disclose Sights strange to see. For piercing through the rosy down That hung o’er all Idke beacons on the highway of Renown, The mountains showed their summits tall. Gleaming afar with golden hue. But softened by the rosy dew, They did not pall. Dazzled. 1 turned my wondering gaze Back to the heights. Wiiere gathered from a myriad ways. Happy and merry as the sprites. The band of youths and maidens gay Gazed off across the rosy way In sheer delight. Inquiringly I turned my glance Upon my friend. Who. all alone in that expanse Of freshness, .witnessed that an end There was of all things fair. Not only here, but eveiywhere. He spoke again:— I Each year the eldest dwellers here That path must tread. For Future's Plain they have no fear. With such a goal as theirs ahead. 1 For viewed from youth and crowned with gold. I Age doth no terrors for them hold.” 'Twas as he said. The sun in noble splendor r se Above the hill. And with its gleaming radiance clothes The travelers, as with farewells shrill They answer those who watch them go, Until the voices fainter grow. Then become still. Merrily then we reached the piain. And I came. too. Joining in with their glad icfrain. When !o! the path we traveled through On either hand grew brown and sere, But just ahead the r sy cheer Spurred us anew. Then soon I saw Dull Care slip in Frcm out the mist.

Twin paths seemed they: Through either road our eager hearts Perceived the mountains where they lay. Though nearer l y the left they loomed Bess brightly through the rosy gloom Of the new way. Dull Care stalked grimly down the right As we stood there With pondering hearts, and doubtful quite. Till some besought with earnest prayer We take the shorter seeming road.

No matter how he strove and tried?'' Thoughtlessly then they turned away. To hasten down the newer way, lx t what betide. I left them there, but ere I turned To other lands, I watched a while where the bright peaks burned. And followed the disappearing bands.

Oh, an Indian war story! cried the small boy at his knee. Indeed, vou shall have it. said the colonel, smiling lovingly at the excited lad. You know an Indian is first named for some- thing in nature which his parents love. Then when he grows older, before he can be called a man, he must perform some difficult task, then he is given a name in keeping with his heroic feat. “When I was stationed at a post in the West, near several Indian camps. I became acquainted with many of the Indians. Among them were a young girl and boy. They were engaged, but the girl would not marry the young fellow until lie earned his name He and I were great friends, and he told me all his troubles. Horicon was a slender, manly-looking fellow. I felt sorry for him. and told him I would try to help him. The girl was a beauty, if ever there was one. Both had been to the Indian school, and were well educated, and I could not understand her reason for clinging to the old tradition. Perhaps it was just the contrariness of women cropping out. he said reflectively. Go oil. grandpa. cried the lad. don’t stop. Well. continued the colonel. Horicon finally became verv much discouraged, for he could think of no way to earn that coveted name. Just at this time an unscrupulous man in some way had given or sold the Indians of a neighboring camp some liquor. We found out later that for several weeks they had been getting more and more excited, and now they were all crazed with drink. Willing to do anything, dressed in full war paint and dress, they started on the war path. The commander and soldiers at tiie fort at the time knew nothing of what was happening. A few rumors came that the Indians were restless, but we thought nothing of it. On the way to our camp they came across a lot of cows, hulls, and horses, tethered just outside the village. They started a stampede, and in a shorter time than it takes to tell it. the camp was in the greatest confusion. Meanwhile the girl was just returning home from the well with a pail of water. Horicon, who was standing near, had just caught sight of her. and was making his way towards her. when a hull, rushing between two adobe houses, caught sight of her red shawl. The angry animal was now doubly enraged, and bounded towards her bellowing. The girl stood dazed with fright. Just as it seemed inevitable that she he knocked down and trampled upon. Horicon snatched the pail from her hand and threw it full in the face of the enraged beast- Startled and blinded, he swerved from his course and continued down the street, bellowing, with foam streaming from his mouth, in a wild, furious rage, and on to the plain beyond. ”()ur trooi)s were ordered out to quell the aris- ing of the Indians, and when we returned Horicon had received the name of Red Bull.

Club since its organization, and during the past year its success has been par- ticularly marked. A series of enjoyable theatre parties, dances, a night at the Pops, and as suc- cessful a vaudeville show as has ever been pre- sented on the amateur stage have all tended to build up the club and strengthen the fraternal spirit among the fellows. The pleasant year is to ter- minate in a banquet at one of Boston’s best liostcl- ries in June. The S. O. M. consists of the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Chapters, the last-named containing most of the High School members. The officers of the Alpha Chapter are: President. F. Carlton Gorman: secretary, Arthur Drake; treasurer, Aaron B. Noyes. And of the Beta' Chapter: President, Arthur Y. Freeman; vice-president, Robert S. Paine. Jr.; secretary. Russell Pitman; treasurer, LeRoy Fitzherbert. The members of the Gamma Chapter and those attending High School are as follows: President, Harold E. Keb- bon; secretary. Arthur Pitman: treasurer. Harold Pcndcrgast: Roland Pease. Arthur Camp- bell. John Fames, Ingraham Taylor, Spencer Saw- yer. Herbert Googins, and Raymond Wiley. m. x. c. Four years ago a group of Freshman girls who were taking the normal course in the English School decided, because of their congeniality and friendship, to form a Normal Latin Club.” Miss M. Helen Tccle, the beloved teacher of the class, was made an honorary member. Her influence upon and her friendship with these girls has been a most valuable factor in their high school life. The club, although exclusive, has especially cul- tivated the social side, and some of the most en- joyable evenings have been those in which thev have entertained the members of the Tech division of their own class. The most successful of these occasions was the ever-to-be-remembered Hal- lowe’en party given this year. Of the fifteen charter members, twelve remain, while three others have been added. The present members are: Miss M. Helen Tcele, Nina Gilley, Mildred Hager, Lillian Luce. Hester Philbrick, Mabel L. Tcele, Pearl Whitehouse, Genevieve Brvan. Mildred Jones, Mabel Ingham. Lillian 'Mugford. Elinor Neilon, Edith Babcock, and Sarah Coyne. Although the girls will be separated more or less : of the time after graduation, they intend to con- tinue the club. As most of them intend to enter higher institutions in the fall, meetings will be held during vacations and such times as the girls can get together. Their different paths in life will only tend to bind more closely together the girls of the N. L. C. G. H. D. The G. A. V.. formed in 1!)05, composed of mem- bers of the present Senior classes, have passed three years of very successful work. Although few notes have appeared in the Radiator, the club has enjoyed many social times given by its mem- bers. which now include the Misses Stockwell and Pease, formerly of the Latin School: Miss Stearns, of the. Latin School, and Misses Fish and Savage, . of the English School. The club will continue its organization. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 205 Pbi Blpba As the end of the school year draws near, the members of the Phi Alpha Sorority of 1908 realize that after June they will no longer be active mem - bers. The club has had a very successful year, and in many ways it is to be regretted that it is past. The first event of the year, the reunion, proved very enjoyable. A large proportion of the former members were present, and old friendships were gladly renewed. The dance given in April sur- passed all expectations, and was mutually voted a success. This year the annual gentlemen’s night was omitted, but was amply made up for by the delightful Mav vacation, which the girls spent in the W hite mountains. After the vacation the new girls received their notes of invitation, and the next two weeks were given over to the usual initiation. The girls chosen as members for next year arc the Misses Elizabeth (.'bickering, Marion Corliss, Amy Barker. Lorene Whitney. Marion Jlallett, and Helen French. They take the places of Isabel McDonald. Susie Pilsbury. Katharine Bradburv. Lavinia Ware, Marian Lovering, and Anne Gridlev. ------------------------------■ Gamma Sigma Club The Gamma Sigma Club, consisting of twelve girls of the Senior class of the Latin School, has had the most enjoyable year since its organization. At the March meeting, held at the home of Miss Edna Nickerson, Miss Bertha Stone was unani- mously elected an honorary member.

It is distinguished, also, as the birthplace of a little club, small in numbers, but great in enthusiasm and fervent in ambitions. Never before in the history of the school has there been any dramatic association ; so. realizing this lack, and having for its object the development of our dramatic powers and the furtherance of the in- terests of the school in this direction.’’ there was formed in the month of January. 1 DOS. the (lirls’ Dramatic Club of the Somerville English High School. As yet the club is in its infancy. It is a preco- cious child, however, having made its first bow to the public at the tender age of three months in the play. The (lirls of Owing to your hearty support on that occasion, we are able, besides con- tributing to the Chelsea relief fund, to leave to the school this gift—the Statue of Victory, the original of which stands in Perlin. Mr. Avery, in behalf of the Girls’ Dramatic Club, it gives me great pleasure to present to you, as representative of the school, this statue. Whenever present and future pupils of the school turn their eyes to this graceful figure, we hope they will remember what it typifies; we hope it may stimulate their efforts not only in dramatic, but in all lines, until in the future, as in the past, the name Somerville English High School shall be forever synonymous with—Victory. The class ivy was obtained from Wellesley Col- lege. The parent plant was presented to the class of ’SI by Professor Hosford. who procured it from Ellen's Isle. Loch Katrine. Scotland. --------------------------- Speech bp Gotten H. Soutbwortb Graduates and Members of the English High School:— I wish, first of all, to congratulate you on the excellence of these Ivy Day exercises. The rep- resentatives of the class who have taken the lead- ing parts have certainly reflected great credit not only on themselves, but on the class and on the school of which they are members. I wish, also, to congratulate you on having had for four years, or on having in prospect for one. two. or three more years, the advantages of the best high school in Massachusetts, and the instruction of a corps of teachers probably unequalcd in New England. In return for the enjoyment that the last hour has given me, J should like to present each one of you with a fifty-dollar bill as a souvenir of the occasion, but unfortunately I have left my check book at home, and so purpose to give you an equivalent in advice based on the experience of years. As you leave school for a wider and more varied field of effort, there arc three or four things con- cerning which I urge you to take exceeding care. First of all. take care of your health. This advice may seem superfluous given to those whose fresh and ruddy faces show abounding life and vigor, but the health you now possess must be preserved. The modern theory is that, with due regard for hygienic laws, any of 11s may live to be a hundred years old. This would certainly be undesirable for the few of us. but if we could all live to that age and retain our faculties and our friends, we could accomplish more for the world than if we were cut off at the end of the traditional three score years and ten. Put we needs must begin early. The simple life, a plentiful supply of fresh air. food judiciously chosen, abundant exercise of the right sort, at least seven hours’ sleep daily, the avoidance of all excesses, freedom from anxiety, care, and worry, and a clear conscience will under ordinary conditions secure to us the health that is absolutely essential to any worthy achievement. I charge you. take care of your money. Your smiles indicate that you have no anxiety at present in your impoverished condition concerning this subject. However, you are standing on the threshold of a business career, and one impelling motive is the acquisition of money not for its sake alone, perhaps, but for what it alone can secure. Thrift, next to integrity, lies at the foundation of success in business. Resolve from the outset not only to live within your income, but to save a cer- tain portion of it. however small it may be. This will require self-denial and sacrifice, but nothing valuable is attained in this world without these vir- tues. Supply your absolute needs rather than your wants. Wear the old hat another summer, cut out needless expenditures for confectionery and for whatever else is useless or pernicious, and save for the future what might otherwise be fool- ishly spent. I have myself squandered a possible fortune of a hundred thousand dollars by not fol- lowing the advice which I now give you gratuit- ously and which I. received in my younger days. Thirdly. I charge you, take care of your time. It is more precious than money if rightly used. The leisure moments, the evenings that might be Till-: SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 207 spent in frivolity, if used for the reading of good books,—not books simply, but t ood books,—the storing of the mind with good literature, the memorizing of worthy selections of prose or poetry will not only be of present value, but when the physical strength is enfeebled and old age comes creeping on, will prove a storehouse which will fur- nish pleasure and satisfaction. 1 have an aged friend whose sight and hearing arc gone, who finds delight and profit in recalling the treasures which he unconsciously stored away in his younger days for just such an emergency. And. lastly. 1 charge you. take care of your heart. 1 use the word as the Scriptures use it: “Out of the heart are the issues of life, not simply the transitory life we are now living, but that future endless life whose character is decided by the present. Live up to your ideals. Preserve your honor and your integrity, at all hazards. Fight temptation and all allurements toward the wrong. Exercise self-control. P e kind, sympathetic, help- ful. pure,—strive after those things which do not perish with the using. Be loyal to the voice of conscience, to the instruction you have received here, to the city, it� the flag, and prove by honest,, earnest, noble living that you appreciate and seek to reciprocate all the advantages which the city of Somerville has placed at your disposal. H transient Success Ev? Cccilc IE. Giroux, X.,'OS HERE I was, perplexed with the ter- rifying problem—it was worse than the worst proposition in geometry— of “What should I adopt as my life work?” or, in plainer and more sug- gestive terms, What was I to do for a living? It was June, I was about to graduate from college, and so 1 must decide. 1 felt that my natural bend was towards teaching—but what? 1 had taken up a course in Latin. Greek, French, and English, yet understood that there was a vast difference between having studied a subject and be- ing qualified to teach it. How I had ever passed the finals was beyond me, for I knew so little about any one of these languages that it was next to impossible to decide with which one I was the best acquainted. I went over them again and again, and at last concluded in favor of French. Yes, on second thought, I certainly was fairly well versed in French. I had avoir and etre down to perfection: I knew two French fables by heart; and then I had learned the finest sentence 10 illustrate the fact that the present of etre and suivre are alike. Je ne suis pas ce que je suis, car si j’etais ce que je suis, je ne serais pas ce que je suis. That would make a good impression on my pupils, I was sure. Here was practically the sum total of my knowledge: but nevertheless I had made up my mind—1 was determined now to be a teacher, and a French one. too. I consulted my professor, but he appeared rather indifferent. You can never do it now. lie assured me, However, a year in France with French people might fix you up all right. It might fix me up all right if I could go. but I was quite sure I couldn't. There was the trouble. For a moment I was tempted to give the whole affair up as useless, but then, realizing that While there is life there is always hope, I determined to make a trial, whatever came of it. Acting on this principle, at dinner I laid the question as an open one before the house. To my surprise, there was no opposition except from my brother, who always chooses to take the contrary side. He scolded so all through the meal that I was glad when he was through—gladder still when I saw the door shut behind him. My joy was short-lived, however, for a moment later lie stuck his head in again, saying: Xo. ma, I wouldn't let her go, for she’ll never make the least use of it. to which I flung back the unladylike reply: That’s all you know about it. Well, to make a long story short, I was sent to France, where I studied as a girl in real life seldom studies, and as 1 have never studied either before or since. 'Hie progress 1 made was remarkable, amazing,—almost superhuman. In fact, I could not understand it myself. The year passed quickly enough, and I came home, confronted this time not by the question, What shall 1 do? but. Where shall I get some- thing to do?

In spite of everything, Miss Bab—ck persists in whispering to the boys behind her in physics. IV. English E showed remarkable ability in writing poetry(?) Craig proved to be a genius. Mr. Abbott says that he always has “softening of the heart during the last two months. Shcdd has a poetic instinct and a wonderful imagination. Mr. Obear made some alcohol and in passing it around the class said: All smell of it, and those who have not signed the pledge may taste a drop of it.” Brace up, Seniors, and square your shoulders. We are about to show the world what we can do. Let every one make his mark, and one that will be remembered. We have finished a year that has been one of the most enjoyable for us all. We will look back at our school days as the best time of our life. Each year has seemed to grow shorter than the one preceding, as we have become inter- ested in our different lines of work. Gliddcn was afraid to give in any class notes. The Senior classes of both schools are smart, ac- cording to Mr. Hadley. Knight has had his pictures taken, but was un- able to get his proofs.

Keep on the straight and narrow path, Seniors. Cupid tells us he is very busy at present. Who is the young lady in Room 27 that wears the hat banked up with poppies? Our High School days are going fast, And soon will be no more; Then think of the hours that have gone by, When you might have studied, And didn't try. The editor hopes that the class notes have been satisfactory. It is impossible to please all. but if the majority have been pleased, the editor is sat- isfied. The editor wishes to extend his thanks to those who have contributed to this column, and it is hoped that all whose names have appeared have not taken offence, as remarks in the Radiator arc of a friendly nature. The Senior class had the pleasure on Monday, May 11. of listening to Rev. Dr. Winship.

Class Editor, Ernest W. Chapin. Now we have reached our third milestone. Fretted by many cares, wearied with much work, gladdened by many pleasures, led on by high hopes and ambitions, we have completed the hardest year of our course. If we have not done well, whose fault is it? if we have been successful, whose honor? Have we learned a new lesson each day? Shall we profit by our mistakes? Let those of us who return as Seniors next year think on these things. Next year will be the best of all. We ought to know one another pretty well after work- ing side by side for three years. Our social and intellectual associations will be more enjoyable, our friendships deeper in another year's intimacy. The thought of separation, coming only too soon, will make us realize how fond we arc of one another and of our dear Alma Mater. So let 11s resolve to be the best Senior class that ever crossed her thresholds. We must set a good example morally as well as mentally. Tis the Senior class that sets the keynote of school spirit. With one accord we extend our heartiest good wishes to the class of '08 at graduation. We have always looked up to you with respect and admira- tion. Surely as you enter the great world you will acquit yourselves as creditably as we have always known you to do.

Here was a stroke of good fortune! What joy to think that I was going to teach where I had formerly been taught, that I was about to be a co-laborer with my own instructors! Truly my cup was full—I had reached the height of my ambition. I lay down with a light and happy heart, think- ing of what was to come to me on the morrow, and awoke at sunrise with a start, remembering that I must go to school—not to teach, however, but to study and to learn.

It looked like an easy victory for Groton, as they scored five runs in the first inning, but Somerville steadied down and did not allow them another run.

Somerville flliflb, 10; Camhrihoe Xatin, 7 Somerville High, amid several showers, defeated Cambridge Latin May 9, 10 to 7. Scriven pitched for Somerville, and was pretty wild, giving nine bases on balls. Somerville clinched the game in the fourth inning, when five runs were scored. Two men hit by pitched balls, a sacrifice, an error, a single, and a two-base hit were responsible for the runs. The visitors made seven errors, which evened up the handicap of Scriven's wild pitching.
