I J I H i esilie Waqis mtx. w E hold it truth that there are some immortal dead who live again in in lives made better by their presence. The praise and lauda- tions of mankind rarely reward a noble work while the laborer rives ; but in the end justice will be done. There is a crown of glory that the world cannot give. There is a reward that transcends all others- For the final judgment from the Great White Throne : Well done thou good and faithful servant. will never fail to fall where justice is due. This was the lesson set forth by the Sacrifice on Calvary and the record of its glory is to be found inscribed upon the hearts of men. In the brave and unselfish life of the subject of this appreciation this truth was richly exemplified. Dr. Leslie Waggener was born in Trenton, Todd County, Kentucky, September ii, 1841, and died at Manitou Springs, Colorado, August 19, 1896. His father was Stokley K. Waggener, a merchant who lived In Russellville, Kentucky. His mother was a daughter of Elder Reuben Ross, a preacher of note in the early history of Kentucky and Tennessee. His grandfather, James W aggener, a Mrginian, was a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. In 1857, Dr. Waggener entered Union University, Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He remained in this institution for two years, and then entered the Senior Class of Bethel College, graduating in i860. In the fall of the same year, he went to Harvard, and received his degree in 1861. In June of that year, he enlisted in the Confederate Army, and served with dis- tinction throughout the War. He was twice wounded, once being shot through the right lu ng at the Battle of Shiloh, and left for dead ; but he was sought out and carried to Corinth by a negro boy whom he had brought from home. He surrendered with Johnson in 1865. In 1867, he married Miss Fannie Pendleton, of Uipland Pennsylvania, daughter of Rev. James M. Pendleton, professor in Union L niversity, when Dr. Waggener was a student there. At the time of his marriage he was principal of the preparatory department of Bethel College. In 1870 he was promoted to the Chair of English Literature in that institution, in 1873 he became Chairman of the Faculty, and in 1875 President, holding both the presidency and the professorship until 1883. In June of that — 5— 1 year, he was called to the newly established University of Texas as pro- ' fessor of English Literature and Histor}-. Subsequently (in 1888) this I chair was divided, and Professor Waggener retained English Literature j only. For ten years, he was also Chairman of the Faculty, but in 1894, he resigned this position. Later, however, on the substitution of the presi- dency for the chairmanship. Dr. Waggener, at the solicitation of the Board of Regents, consented to act as President ad interim, a position that he filled in connection with his professorship during the year 1895- 1896. It was immediately after the commencement exercises of 1896 that his death occurred at Manitou Springs, Colorado, whither he had gone on account of illness. i The L ' nivcrsity of Texas is indebted to Dr. Waggener. more than to j any other man, for its present condition. The services that he rendered during these thirteen years seem really wonderful, viewing them in the light of the present day, and considering the many difficulties under which he labored. These are aptly summarized in the following passage, from an address by Judge E. J. Simkins at the Memorial Services, held at Austin in October, i8g6: This University was formally opened for the admission of students on September 15, 1883. The Legislature met, and it was not long before its hostility was clearly manifested. .. To the new Faculty, composed of strangers, the sentiment against the University was a revelation. They thought it was doomed. The chairman (Dr. Mallet) became irrevocably fixed in his purpose to leave Dr. Brown v.as then placed in the chair; but he, too, quailed before the tempest, and left the State in August, 1884. It was at this dark hour, when the hopes of this institution were trembling in the balance, that Dr. Waggener came to the front, and caught up the reins that had fallen from nerveless hands. -pjjg results of that summer ' s work were that new chairs were established, vacancies filled, new lines of policy decided upon, and the students of 1884 and 1885 gathered in their new University building under a corps of professors as able as any in the South. « -pjig Nineteenth Legislature was more hostile than the preceding one. ♦ The general hostility took the form of destroy- ing the University. In this contest none took so active an interest as the able chairman of the Faculty. As if by intuition he seemed to know where the opposition was gathering, and at all times the refutation of every charge was placed before the friends of the University. Every emergency found him ready, and when, in later years, the enemies of the University, baffled in their plans and recognizing the futility of their warfare upon it, turned upon Dr. Waggener, personally, they found him prepared. WTien they said and did all that malice could invent or slander dictate, he turned not from his chosen pathway, but moved calmly forward, in apparent indifference, until in the very hour of victory, exhausted nature gave way. The incessant mental and physical labor and worry, the cruel attacks and malicious charges that pierced to the quick a soul brave and proud, but tender and sensitive, were more than he could bear. Rallying from the first sickness of June, 1894, after two short years he laid down a life, sacrificed for the Texas University; and while its friends may glory in its present condition and the grand prospects opening before it, let them not forget that it is largely due, under God, to him who lies out in yonder graveyard, still and silent, awaiting the Master ' s call.   PAGE Dedication 1 Foreword Opposite Calendar 12 Board of Regents 15 Administrative Officers 16 The Faculty 19 The Classes 40 Fraternities.. 139 Clubs 183 PAGE Literary Societies 197 Musical Organizations 209 Student Organizations 217 Publications . 233 Final Ball 243 Athletics 249 The Swell Set Magazine 269 Literature 341 Advertisements 407 % ' ' ' H IS ' OCTOBER. 1904 3 Session opened. 8 Football : Texas 40 ; Texas Christian Univesity o. 12 Freshman Class Meeting. 13 Contest between the Engineers and Laws for the possession of the stand pipe. 20 Grand Football Rally. 21 Football: Haskell 4; Texas o. 27 Football team leaves on its trip. 29 Football returns in auditorium : Texas 29 ; Washington o.

ITL ' ATED on the Isle of Galveston is a stronghold of the Profes- sion of Nursing, called the John Sealy Hospital. Eighteen maidens scattered throughout the State of Texas declared this stronghold to be a menace to their peace of mind, and they declared war against it. The walls of the John Sealy Hospital were great and high and it was peopled by a race determined to protect the Profession of Nursing. The only approaches were application Blanks, and they were strongly fortified and well protected. The force of Texas girls armed themselves with letters of recommenda- tion, and attacked the approaches. The onslaught was so furious that the stronghold was reached, a less determined army would have desisted even then, for their number was not great and their difficulties were many. They realized that they could not take the fort by storm, so they decided to besiege it. The resources of the garrison were many, and the army was constantly harassed by the relentless fire from within. First a withering fire of two months probation was hurled at them ; this they met bravely, and were firmly holding their own when a Scrub Brush was fired upon them, and one fled, panic stricken. Several fell under this two months of probation, but enough survived to continue the siege. A vollev of sick and afflicted was poured upon them, but they met the onslaught fearlessly by ministering unto them. Lectures w ere fired upon them which were grimly met with note books and pencils. A scorching fire of examinations was them poured upon them, and some fell slightly wounded, but by no means weakened as to their purpose. Their enemy then attacked them by night, but they were awake and alert and not to be taken by surprise. At the end of a year they were gain- ing the victory. In the mean time their number had diminished but the survivors were still desperately determined. The garrison still resisted grimlv. The sick and afflicted were discharged in such numbers that the army became quite proficient in ministering to them. JNIore lectures and more examinations followed, but the little army was well supplied with note books and pencils and the examinations passed without doing any damage. Scrub brushes were still fired at them in great numbers, but they had ceased to cause any annoyance. In the month of May, 1905, two years after the siege was begun a treaty of peace was signed. Of the little band of besiegers only ten had survived. They were arrayed in caps and gowns of black and certificates were given to them, and by these it shall be known that the Profession of Nursing is no longer fortified against them. P.

Think of your favorite dentifrice ; picture to yourself a page advertise- ment of the same ; eHminate the inessential ; the result will be a set of teeth. Now put a narrow border of features around them, affix a mustache and pair of spectacles, and if you think strenuously you will be able to identify your creation. Think of the lips as being drawn, for as he walked over the fragments of glass on the floor of the Freshman Chemical Laboratory, and approached a pale proud young man, his lips were spasmodically drawn toward each otlier, until his gums were almost completely veiled from view. Sir, do I address the honored President of the Freshman Class in Medicine? ' ' he asked, timidly. ' T believe you do, sir, answered the stripling, but come over here where we can talk better ; and he drew him into a little alcove in the laboratory. I hope sir, you will overlook my presumption in seeking this interview without any Icttcr-d ' audience, ventured the portly stranger, ' T am just from Washington, where I left my cabinet in coming to see you concerning a r.iatter of importance. I beg your forgiveness. Oh, don ' t bother, responded the younger man. ' T know photo- graphs are the thing now. and Fd like your cabinet if you ' d brought it along. I knew you, however, by your dental endowments. But away with this formality : let ' s not talk like parrots in polysyllables ; when no one ' s around, make free to address me as your equal, for we are fellow presidents. How relieved I am! ejaculated the man with the glasses, all right! To the point ! Knowing that not failure but low aim is crime, I want to secure membership in your class ' for my boy. How is the young man prepared? He has had some biology and some anatomy. Do you suppose. asked the young man, that he could tell a scope from a carpet bag? or would he recognize it if he met a tarsus in the middle of the road ? —134— Really, answered the visitor, I can ' t tell; but I have a catalog of his school out in my carriage. If you will be so kind as to ring for a faculty- man,, I ' ll send after it. Rut, wail. Tell nie who that young man is that has such a fine physique, and whose face shows so nnich. room for expression. ' Why, that ' s big Jones. ' was the reply. And that young gentleman over there talking to the lady that ' s talking to somebody else, is Doc Arons- feldt. Let ' s listen a moment, requested the official from afar. Who is Sally, by the way? I hear somebody asking what makes Sally so late. Oh, salicylate, you know, is a salt of a metal, you hear them asking also whether the oxide is worth as much as the stearate. Yes, I see now. I ' ve read The Mettle of the Pasture, but what did Eckel mean when he said something about giving Ethel alcohol ? you don ' t really give that stuiT to girls do you ? ' Oh, yes, replied the freshman, we frequently give etlyl alcohol. You do? And the faculty doesn ' t object? Well, I must say it doesn ' t speak Avell for her parents to allow such. You don ' t understand, expostulated the young man. I understand quite enough. insisted the guest — enough to keep ir.y son out of your company. But see here — NOj sir; I have seen all I care to see. ry good ; if it is fruitless to argue with you, I will save my Adam ' s- apple. You might as well, sir. If you argue till vou burst a blood-vessel, your blood will flow in vain. So, good-bye. ' ' Call again. And as he strode out, the freshman heard his ilio-tibial band playing. Historian. MEMBERS.

Webb HE Rusty Cusses as an organization is now a fixture in the Uni- ijy versity of Texas. The farming element has come to stay. LInlike many from other walks of life, it does not forget its raising and try to play swell; but being made up of plain people, it is modest and is content wdth the wages of the average laborer in this field. The boast of the Rusty-Cusses last year was the fact that they were newly organized. Now they boast a successful experience through that critical period of swaddling clothes — the first year. True, the overseer had to fire some of the no- ' countest ones, some quit the L ' niversity, and some of them took charge of the P. E. C. ' s. But new men have come in to fill their places. And new farmers brought new ideas. Crops were so good last year, in spite of the boll-weevil, that nearlv all the members got them some Sunday clothes, and nothing would do but that tbey should show them oiT in a picture. But the old-timers insisted that last year ' s picture be in the group to keep the hands from forgetting that they are not frats, but just plain Reubens. The older Reubs are fearful lest the gay young bloods recently let in forget the ancient principles of agriculture on which the order was founded and go oflf after strange letters from a foreign land. One thing can be depended on. the Rusty-Cusses are here to stay. —184— a usJtp Cus(s;es( Ney Payne Edwards J. H.

E. C. ■P HE p. E. C. is moslem in its nature, believing in and relying on the 3 j propagation of its tenets by the mailed fist. Its origin is shrouded in mystery ; none may know whence this order sprung and live. But wherever and whenever the good ship mav have been launched, it has been followed by a spanking breeze of prosperity from that very moment. P. E. C. stands for independent action. Paddle your own candidate, IS an underlying principle of its creed. The dogmas upon which its ritual is built are world-old and as lasting as the pyramids. The training a novice must undergo is adapted to all classes of students ; it may be comprehended by the Acedemic, it fosters the calculating spirit of the Engineer, and it makes the Law a good judge. And never in the liistory of the order has a single individual spiked for membership refused the ordeal. This is a record of which P. E. C. is justly proud. Recognizing the needs of the order, the University authorities have built for it a handsome and commodious chapter house on the east side of the campus. Thus equipped P. E.

Among its organizers were such men as Yancey Lewis, A. L. Burleson, and others, who are now prominent men of the State. The Society at first held its sessions in the Senate Chamber of the old Capitol, but finally succeeded in securing from the Faculty a regular meeting hall. Soon after the Athenaeum was organized there was a split among it-, members, and the bolters formed the Rusk Literary Society. So, we see, that the Rusk is of illustrious origin, and though many of her members know not filial obedience, and the society often poses as the rival of the Athenaeum, she is, on the whole, as subordinate as one would expect of a child who has attained its majority. The Athenaeum has always had many of the strongest and most in- lluential men in the ' Varsity among its members ; and its alumni, many of whom hold high positions in church and state, are glad to point to the pleasant meetings in the Athenaeum as among the most interesting and instructive of their careers. The Society is noted for the good fellowship of its members, and the kind and helpful influences it exerts upon its new men, enabling them to rapidly become clear and forceful speakers, and competent parliamentarians. The Athenaeum, too, is great on winning honors, and never lets an opportunity slip by of getting her share, which is alv ays a large one. For the last three years the Athenaeum has furnished the majority of the inter- collegiate debaters and orators. This year the Rusk was confident of getting three men on the team. Instead she only got two, and lost the $50.00 prize to the Athenaeum. W. H. Walne, of the Athenaeum, a few nights after the inter-society debate, easily won first honors in extempore speaking, and so will represent the University in the new National Associa- tion of State L ;niversities. instead of the Southern Oratorical as our orators have done heretofore. Besides the regular contest open to the members of both societies, the Aithenaeum closes her year with a contest of her own for the Ross-Rotan prize, worth $25.00. The event is held at the Driskill and after the speeches there is held the annual banquet in the hotel parlors. E. G. C, HlSTORI.AN. —201— RUSK, OFFICERS. FALL TERM. E. B. Grtffjn President F. p. Ar.

Day AUDITING COMMITTEE. G. S. Barham H. (). KniHit m XDER the wise management of the officers, and with the hearty co- operation of the members, the University Dining Club has enjoyed another session of great prosperity and success. When the boys returned at the beginning of school dinner was ready and waiting, and those who were fortunate to belong to the club did not have to hunt around town for a boarding place and at the same time run the chance of finding one that was not suitable. That the students who are not members have realized the convenience and advantages to be derived from the club is very plainlv demonstrated by the number of applications for membership which have been received. At the opening of the term at least fifty men were refused admission on account of limited space and accommodation. The University Book Store, a student enterprise, is operated in connection with the Dining Club. The manager of this, who is elected by the members, supplies books and all necessary material for work at reduced prices. The executive committee appoints students to act as waiters who thus earn their board at the hall. There were those who prophesied a short life for this organization when it first came into existence. However, the purpose for which it was inaugurated, to secure good board at a reasonable price at a place situated near the Medical College and Hospital, has been accomplished, and it w ill take nothing less than another storm to dissolve us.

Valentine Lanham U 1 heL aStaWay As seen through a frat-sister ' s eyes, l)y Susie Shelton, author of How- Basket Went Busted. This is the romance of the love of F. Valentine Lanham — the strange fascination, and still stranger separation, the riotous passion, the final ennobling affection — from the day when he awoke to find himself the victim of a co-ed ' s caprice, till searching vainly for the waters of Lethe, and finding that Hal Logan had consumed in its entirety the stream of oblivion, he played out his splendid death-scene in the Isle of the Huttuts. liss Shelton ' s novel contains the most pitifully pathetic, profoundly sympathetic, vivid and true portrait of Lanham ever drawn. The artistic selection of materials from the life of the macaroni and the masterly use of them are beyond praise. An experienced co-ed has succeeded better than anyone else in giving us the real Lanham in the dift ' erent phases of his panoramic character.

Bright, spaikling, effer- vescent, replete with doggerel, this little tale deals with the every-day happenings of a modern chapter house. We are given a glimpse of combats over stolen soap and misplaced towels, strenuous struggles to be the first out of bed each morning, and the awful Laocoon-like efiforts to break away from study every night. A Freshman rollicks through these pages, fresh as a new-laid egg, green as a tree toad. Still we are inclined to par- don his faults, inasmuch as Fido has drawn with a master hand Pn ' bark Hound of the Ca orpills $| 50 the virtues of this great unknown. Generosity, good fellowship and hospitality are so admirably blended with the Freshman ' s shortcomings that we are prone to admit with Fido that no mjitter how bughouse he may be, a man ' s a man for a ' that. Then when we see how Fido ' s hero in his all Kappacious camaraderie, becomes the impromtu host of a couple hundred guests clad in full evening dress, we are moved nearly to tears of pity and sympathy.

Mclnnis In this thrilling story of a misspent career we detect the heart wail of a second Prince Arthur. Checked, restrained, his mental growth overshadowed by the haughty arrogance of his imperial sire, we see him sinking day by day into misanthropical misery. Strenuous his efiforts, vain his frantic endeavor to escape his terrible doom. With him we feel the sickening shock that racked his quiver- ing nerves that fateful morn, when peering into his dainty shaving mirror, he sees grimacing back at him that hideous risible, the awful curse of his unfortu- nate house. Dogged by the Furies, lashed by the serpent whip of Tisiphone, hounded by this grim Nemesis, still we see him in a scene of grandeur, lit by the roseate hues of the rainbow of promise, to the music of the harps of the Seraphim, rising triumphant, phoenix-like, from the ashes of his misfortunes, blending himself, his sire, and the bright fame of the University of Texas into one grand, glorious Trinity. $1.50.

An admirable book which should be in the hands of every young man THE TRAINING OF WILD ANIMALS By a celebrated writer under the nom de plume of MAC LEAN Richly Illustrated from Photographs. : PRICE, $1.00 NET rr Each succeeding year is usually considered a sea- son for applying the famous transformation treatment, so well known to many of us, to that large and diver- sified army of entirely illiterate and absolutely sense- less devotees of the nipple of the small white bottle. This year there has been encountered some absolutely untamed, uncivilized savage beasts that have put the system of treatment to a cruel test. But the trainers have been successful at last. The author tells just how it was done. He cites as an example the wonderful work accomplished in the regeneration of the least tractable of the flock — Fierce Ferguson. In a pleas- ing manner he tells of how he is allowed in the course of time to run at liberty— enjoying the honor of being the first incubator graduate. The acquisition of genteel habits after a long period of nursing is portrayed. The ttory is thoroughly delightful. Young and old can not fail to enjoy it. THE REINCARNATION OF A THIEF. Being: the liiBtory of the malpractices of one Phil Bosche. By A VICTIM. This is a story involving questions in the reahn of metaphysical subtleties. In this work we trace the hero Clotho, through his successive reincarnations down the lapse of ages. From the time he first slinks from the rugged entrance of that prehistoric cavern and picks the teeth ofif a cave dweller ' s swelling breast, our attention is fixed. Then we see Clotho in the person of Alexander the Great, sighing for more worlds to conquer. Next he sallies forth from the portcullis of his Norman castle and falls upon some peaceful caravan. Now he sails with Drake, and now with Morgan, training his deadly culverins upon the plate ships of Philip, draping his stalwart frame with Indian silk and bedecking his gore- stained fingers with rings of slaughtered dames of Spain. The career of crime runs on, its red flood unruffled, until we see the modern Clotho stalking into our chapter houses and dormitories, ravaging chifYoniers, clothes presses, looking into stoves, shoes and beer steins for possible dirty clothes, and finally adding a tinge of grim humor to the situation by the briefly sardonic statement, One- third of?.

Rita ' s pink pina- fore was oversowing with the great imported red-checked a])ples for which her grandfather ' s orchard was so famed, and the while Jim annihi- lated a Borsdorfer, Rita read aloud ; and while Jim read, Rita thoughtfully munched with pensively tilted head. One could have guessed that Rita, despite ponderous braid, pink pina- fore and a most childlike simplicity of demeanor, was nineteen years old and had passed examinations admitting her to Cornell, and that the youth be- side her, in a very muchlv rumpled blue linen suit, was a Junior of that institution, home on his holidav. Ever since she was eight and he fifteen, there had existed between them the closest of friendships. In the atmosphere of the great, pine- board schoolroom, which the bearded Dutch master, whose besetting sin was certainly not overconscientious- ness, rendered thick with the smoke of his huge pipe, this tenderness had its beginning. To Jim, who had con- stituted himself the teacher ' s head as- sistant, she would come and sav her lesson, leaning confidingly on his shoulder. Every evening she would ride home behind him on his horse, picking his pockets, usually full of nuts, dainties froiu the grocery store, or perhaps there would even be a gayly-colored picture or a rag doll hidden away for Jim ' s little pet. Ever}- since those countrv school days, Jim and Rita had loved each other devotedly, at first with the love of children but ver - soon with the love of man and maid. ' ery letter was the parting , when Jim. at the age of twenty-three had saved enough from :. ])atch of land he had farmed 282 THE SWELL SET. for his own special profit, to visit tlie University, and great was the joy when after two years he came home to summer and brought with him a consumptive LL. D., who proved will- ing to coach Rita, so that she, too, might belong to that wonderful Re- public of Intellects, about which Jim had been writing her in frequent and substantial missives. Almost every evening after lessons and while the deepening twilight still showed the printed page, they would come to this tree to read froth and afterwards to talk and plan. This summer had been a mate to the last. She took Ihe book from Jim ' s hand and reread jiarts in silence, then sud- denly gazing up, tremulously, Jim, if you and ] should be parted by cir- cumstances, let us, too, send each other some token. Nothing dare sever us, replied Jim, placing his arms about her neck and kissing the saddened little face. I feel prophetic, Jim! And rather that we should marry to live in abject, miserable poverty, let us separate and keep our love untarnished. You are right, Rita ! I could not bear to pull you down day by day with weighty cares — better to lose sight of each other forever ! Some would call such sentiments sordid, but we know better, there can be no love in a cottage where wrinkled care serves salt and potatoes ; and rather than that our love should become hideous, shrivel up and die — let us put it away in a leaden casket, where, though we are not able to touch it. we may gaze at it always thru ' the tiny glass window. We think so much alike, Jimmie ! Do you remember how we laughed at Thackeray ' s little conceit — If a man were ofi ered wealth, a beautiful, true and intelligent wife, happy healthy children — in short, domestic bliss and no business or other cares, and in ex- change for all this need only promise never to walk a step without three long pointed nails in his shoes, he would not close the bargain. There ' s much truth in it — too much. Our bodies seem millstones about our spiritual necks — If our spirits have that isthmus between head and rump, added Jim wickedly. No reall}-, let us promise to send each other a rose on a special day to show we still remember — What day shall it be? The day }ou saved m}- life last year — June 20, and she rose to her knees from her sitting posture and fervently kissed the great purple scar on his forehead, over the right tem- ple. He had saved her from being gored by a ferocious bull at the risk of his life — after a scene too terribly hide- ous for recollection, and the kissing of that most honorable scar had be- come a religious rite to her ever since. Let us rather think of this fall when we shall be together studying — COXTEXTMEXT OR HAPPIXESS. 283 as in olden-days ! Smile again, Sarita. I ' m thinking of the Princess. ■ Yes, we will send each other a token, love, if that future which now so evidently wears a smile, should turn it into a leer. Come, I must go ! There was a momentarv chirping as of kisses exchanged and then silence save for the monster oak, shaking his leaves in the balmv eve- ning breeze. He had never realized what a queen she was until he saw her in that pale green robe, her rose-ivor_ ' shoulders bare and her piquant saucy little face surmounted by an aureole of glitter- ing rust-red hair. This was the Freshman dance — her debut ! she had refused to go, but Jim had insisted, so she accepted the young Greek Professor ' s highly complimentary in- vitation. He, Jim, was a passive spectator in the gallery, and was wedged between a stout lady and what was evidently her son-in-law. There ! she was chatting to a group — they stoop about her three deep and the numbers were ever increasing. Jim smiled that rare sweet smile. They below were probably wondering how such a brilliant butterfly had es- caped notice heretofore ! — simply be- cause this same butterfly with society wings demurely folded, fluttered by his side in long rambles thru ' unfre- quented ways ; because in the evening she studied or entertained a rugged youth with a great purple scar over his right temple, in the overloaded musty little parlor of her boarding house. Now ! the music began and she danced with McCarthy, the Prof. How well she did it — to the manner born ! Those girls had made a great swell out of her — there was no doubt of it — but they couldn ' t alienate her from him. And after ail, it was he who had decided the length of her train and the color of her gown. Curious, how liberal her grandfather had been of late, he was speculating, Jim knew. How like Rita, to buy with her first surplus money, that in- accessible set of law tomes for her Jim. She had disappeared ! The elegant hall seemed a trite place and Jim almost frowned. There was a light touch on his shoulder, a happy laugh and Rita and McCarthy stood behind him. You ma}- go ! she said to AlcCar- thy. come for me after the next two dances, I have these with — a graceful wave toward Jim. who had risen to greet his friend. What a good talk they had. How the new wine of her success intoxi- cated her, and yet how unspoiled the realization of her great beauty left her. She was still his. his Rita in the pink pinafore, grown a trifle wiser, perhaps, for just then she dropped her handkerchief, and with quick 284 THE SWELL SET.

He held the bit of lace in his hand, but they gazed unuttera- bly deep into each others eyes before it was reclaimed by the owner. That was to be their last moment of un.troubled bliss. When Rita saw Jim the next day, his face was drawn and ashen. She took his hand. Be brave! tell, what is it? I must leave school. Such a dreadful cumulation of misfortunes at home. Sister Betty, tho ' recover- ed from typhoid, leaves her bed a hopeless embecile. My mother ' s eyes have gone out completely — they need me at home and fitcy icill need me forei ' er! good-bye Rita, my goddess, forgive mv crying like a baby, but its good-bye forever my little girl ! He pressed her close for a long time, heedless of open doors and prying housen.iates — then, with a sob hat shook him bodily, he kissed her pas- sionately and was gone. It was at the end of Rita ' s sopho- more year when the crash finally came. One of the greatest swindles on record had left her (Irandfather ' s name dishonored, unless he could cover his liabilities within a given date, and that but too close at hand. McCarthy was rich, McCarthy ' s habit of proposing had become chronic. McCarthy would help her grandfather if she would marry him. Yes, she would tell him that her grandparents present situation great- ly influenced her, but she really liked and respected McCarthy immensely — he was strong, handsome, clever — and rich. Jim, my boy, it must be, it must be ! she whispered, you see, Jim, its the only way. This apologetic- ally towards his picture. And the next time when McCarthy who had half despaired of ever being taken seriously, proposed agrJn, to his great and joyful surprise, he was accepted. he made an ideal Professor ' s wife — and was universally adored. Al- ways cheerful, animating, loving and helpful. McCarthy simply worshiped her. Her exquisite nature lay as an open book before him, and in it he read a text human — divine, set to delicious music. Such heavenlv sim- plicity — } ' et there must be depths to every woman. Strange ! every year, about the 20th of June. Mrs. Mc- Carlh} ' would receive a lengthv and carefully-packed box, which was fcnmd to contain merely an exquisite rose, perfect in form and color and sweetly fragrant. She never ex- plained. There was another thing very curious about Mrs. McCarthy! Her husband at a verv earlv date had understood that when she kissed his forehead immediately above the right temple, caresses were to be entirely suspended for the ensuing days. 286 THE SWELL SET.

AR( ;()M in the Epsilon Rho Chai)ter house was hkie with tohacco smoke and had lan- guage, (irant ' s pipe, aided and abet- ted by Grant, of course, was responsi- bk ' for the former. Incidentally, the latter, for if there was one thing on the foot-stool that Machiavelli abomi- nated, it was the fumes of nicotine. Grant was a big, sturdv, wholsome looking fellow, as nice a chap as one would wish to meet. Machiavelli, or Mac, as he was familiarly known, was a verbose, profane, and alto- gether villainous old scoundrel of a green parrot. Mve years ago Carl- ing found him leading the strenous life in a battered stick cage at the Razor and Hone Barber Shop, and brought him to the house. There he stayed and he has seen generation on generation of Epsilons come and go. But never a one leaves X ' arsity before Mac has patly on the tip of his shame- less old tongue the characteristic cuss word or words of that ])articular E])silon Rho. ' h_ - ])arrots should take such ])ains to learn sentiments more powerful than elegant is a ques- tion for naturalists to answer. That they have such a tendency is an as- sured fact. That this individual was a genius in that line is still more posi- tive. While Mac held forth in all the gorgeous diction of his five languages and nine dialects. Grant sat thinking, thinking deeply. He had just been forced to acknowledge to himself that he was deeply, miserabl} ' . and hope- lessly in love with Miss Carr, the new Kappa Chi. While there are some other adverbs, 1 suppose, equally ex- pressive, these will suffice. But the one that had moved him to such pro- found and gloomy cogitation was the dread polysyllable hopelessly. As usual there was another man. His name was Lawrence, a fine fel- low, good to look upon, moderately rich, and a member of Theta Chi. Epsilon Rho ' s particular rival and life-long foe. ]Miss Carr was a Freshman girl and ( in spite of it ) as charming as a sum- nier landscape and as interesting as 290 THE SWELL SET. a. check from home. From the time ' Varsity opened, she had been rushed strenuously by Thetas and Epsilons alike, and fierce had been the fight for favor. However the issue had ap- parently been decided. All ' Varsity in the corridors that morning had seen on her waist not the golden cross of Epsilon but the flamboyant scimi- tar of Theta Chi. And after her ap- pearance at the theatre the night be- fore accompanied by Lawrence, this was highly significant. Wherefore Grant was well bogged in the Slough of Despond along with a pipe that wouldn ' t draw and with the sulphur- ous extravagances of a godless bird ringing in his ears. He threw the disappointing pipe aside and glanced at his watch. It was four o ' clock and at half past he had an engagement to play golf. The afternoon was fine as though made to order and the sun shone out so bright and jolly that it required quite an ef- fort to be blue. In spite of himself, Grant ' s face brightened but fell again as he reflected that this would proba- bly be his last walk with her. So, very moodily, he began to dress. With head critically cocked on one shoul- der, the parrot silently watched his master wrestle with his tie. Then he flapped his wings and strutted ma- jestically up and down his perch. To hell with the Theta Chis. he remarked genially. Grant ' s chuckle broadened into a laugh. You shall go with us for that, m}- beauty, said he, and joyfully Mac laid hold of the much scarred perch with his iron beak and skinned several cats in gleeful anticipation. Right here and there Grant knocked the final thorn from his bed of roses although he was far from realizing it then. On the stroke of the half hour. Grant sallied forth, Machiavelli perched majestically on his shoulder, with his chest expanded gloriously and the sunlight glinting and gleam- ing on the burnished green of his feathers. He found her waiting and flushed with welcome in the midst of a group of her frat-sisters. While salutations were being exchanged, Mac surveyed the group with intense disapproval. Men were more to his taste, for while they frequently blew clouds of horribly odored vapor from their mouths and noses, they talked in a language that a parrot with a bar- ber-shop and chapter-house education could understand and appreciate ; moreover store up in his mind for future repetition. Therefore it was to his great disgust that he was hail- ed with acclaim. O, you beauty ! exclaimed Miss Carpenter, the ever efifusive. stretch- ing forth a reluctant hand. The beauty declined the bland- ishment with a vicious snap of his beak. Shampoo? he inquired irrele- vantly. The Kappa Chis tittered ' ' ■ Miss Cart cnlcr backed up. aiul Grant turned a most uncomfortable red. 292 THE SWELL SET. audibly ; Miss Carpenter, to use a slang expression, backed up and Grant turned a most uncomfortable red. Splendid weatber. Mr. Grant, aided Miss Loring politely, noticing his confusion and tactfully striving to divert the channels of conversation. How ' v ' have it, wett ' erdi brightly responded Machiavelli. Miss Loring subsided forthwith and the titter grew less subdued. Grant savagely tweaked Mac ' s tail and the injured one turned and pinch- ed his master ' s ear till it tingled again. However anuised the girls must have been, they took pity on Grant like the gentlewomen they were and conversation waxed freer, Mac very providentially taking no part therein. Cirant was in an agony of apprehension lest he do so and for- ever disgrace theiu both, but tlie un- wonted sigbt of so much femininity had quite subdued the bachelor bird and be was discreetly mute. Grant felt constrained also (for different reasons, however) and Miss Carr found him a very silent com- panion. The third party brightened up considerably after the Kappa Chis were left behind and seemed fatally bent on mixing in with the rather one-sided conversation. Between fears for what Mac might say and his own feeling of gloom, about all Grant could do was to glare savagely at the unoffending pin gleaming awav so coldly and so impudently above the bosom that heaved and tossed under the billowing silk as ] Iiss Carr laugh- ed and chatted her gayest and strove to drown the occasional and vitriolic comments of Machiavelli. The grand finale came at last. The trio had rounded a corner sharply into the midst of a flock of geese that scattered in all directions, honk- ing their extreme displeasure at be- ing so rudely disturbed. Mac im- mediately waxed excited and flapped his wings. Danui the Freshmen ! he shriek- ed in high dudgeon. Miss Carr flushed. As I have said, she was a Freshman. In an agony of contrition. Grant pulled the offend- er ' s tail in good hearty earnest. Wotell ! exclaimed the son of Belial in astonishment. It ' s no use! apologized Grant, He simply won ' t be still : I should not have brought him along anyway, but I thought he ' d be decent, at least. Did he learn these dreadful things from the Epsilons? queried Miss Carr severely, though there was a curious little catch in her voice akin to tears — or laughter. Lord, no ! vowed the accused, I ' ve never heard him befo — Ak Gawd! corroborated Mac with unctions piety. ( ) out of my sight, you old pest ! impatiently exclaimed the master as he tossed his pet rather roughly on a branch of a roadside tree, Let ' s rest here awhile. You ' re tired, I know, IVHEX APOLOGIES WERE SUPERELUOUS. •3 and a l)uiKlle of golf sticks gets heavy after a person ' s lugged them as far as I have these. Miss Carr obediently settled her- self on the leaf-strewn turf and leaned forward supporting her pretty chin with both hands. Mac had dis- appeared in the upper foliage of the tree and the world seemed very quiet and seemingly far, far away. Neither spoke. But presently into her dreamy violet eyes there stole that in- describable far-oiT look that one may scarcely see unless ' tis set about with moonlight glinting upon still water, and the 9ongs of nightingales!, the rustle of the night wind in the trees upon the banks, and the murmuring of the tiny w avelets, as they chase each other past the boat ' s side, on, on, and out of sight into the shadows. And if you. unhappy oarsman, happen to decide to give the blisters on your unaccustomed hands a rest and lean for one brief moment upon your idle oars and meet the subtle witchery of that glance full and fair in the soft glow of the moonlight. I say, if you strive to match your strength against those irresistible eyes, you are lost as sure as fate. It seemed to Grant that someone was speaking miles and leagues and furlongs away. Miss Carr — Edith, said the un- known voice, why did _ ou do it? — the pin, I mean, at a glance of in- quiry. You don ' t know how much it hurt me to see it blinking awa ' at me all this afternoon. You know- how nuich I wanted to — er — that is, how much I didn ' t want you to — con- found it all, vou know what I want to sav. Xow look here, Edith, it ' s just this way. Here you ' ve gone and put on Lawrence ' s pin and mine ' s the prettiest, and his is only set with pearls and mine ' s with diamonds, and I like you bet — no, more than that ! I love vou and vou know it and everybody knows it and I don ' t care ! And he gazed at her in frightened ludicrous defiance. She looked neither to the right nor to the left, but the cheek nearest him was crimson as a blush-rose and he could see her lips were trembling. She hesitated and then sat bolt up- right and leaned toward him ever so slightly. Then : Iachiavelli in the branches above descried a throng of buzzards stooping low over a nearby thicket. In a tremendous panic he came tumbling from bough to bough, until he arrived safe in the protecting haven of Grant ' s shoulder. Emboldened by his safety, he cocked a defiant eye at the sombre scaven- gers. To hell with the Theta Chis ! quoth Machiavelli. Edith flushed an adorable smile a t the bewildered Grant and slowly her hand stole to meet his. It hovered above, fluttered, and then dropped in- to his close grasp. He felt the prick of something sharp and many-cor- 294 THE SWELL SET. nered. He glanced down. It was a tiny jeweled scimitar. Amen ! said Edith Carr. And that was all. At the Epsiion Rho chapter house in a gorgeously gilded cage, lives a green parrot who pours out the vials of his profanity on the luckless head of everyone who ventures into his sight, unquestioned and unrebuked. If you object, the Epsilons will tell you this story. I passed that way this morning. Therefore, I know. fe Where is the foam of last itigiu ' s stein 296 THE SWELL SET.

A CHAPTER OF CHAPTERS BY ATTILA. THE night was ver}- dark — so dark in fact that I had lost my way and stood leaning my confused and weary head against the cold, unsympathetic bosom of a ' phone post. Alone in the murky gloom, alone and helpless. Tears, hot scalding drops of sheer forlorn- ness, hopped down my cheeks. Sud- denly I started. A voice had broken in upon my ear, patronizing, unc- tuous with calm superiority. Ah yes. That ' s well enough, of course. But then, you see, I was built for a chapter-house. Aly eyes nearly started from their sockets. A huge mass was majest- ically trundling by, bulking high through the shadowy ether and rumbling over the uneven street like a mammoth traction engine. As the Trojans may have stared at the Grecian horse, drawn through their fated town, so did I gaze horrified as the vast mountain of yellow and white pulled to one side of the street and stopped. In the shadow of its wing I beheld another indistinct ob- ject, yellow and white like the first, but smaller. It was breathing heavi- ly, whether from ill-suppressed rage or great exertion I knew not. The Phi house continued : .Vnd then just look at my parrot! And Count too. Count ' s dead now, of course, Imt the parrot is still a drawing card — A voice bufifeted the heavy air. Wheezy, cracked and unmelodious it was, but raised in a pitiful endeavor to be tuneful. ■ ' She has a right to wear my Beta pin, my Beta pin ! — From my vantage post I saw an- other bulk approaching and behind it a number of others, shadowy in outline, like a drove of spectral ele- phants grazing in some mist-ridden jungle. The newcomer stopped a moment and snififed in patrician dis- gust. A parrot ! Shade of Henrv Lee, you boast of a parrot? Why that ' s nothin ' , just look at me ! I own Har- vey McLean and Wallie Tyler. So I guess that ought to hold you for a while ! And the Beta house rolled on and disappeared in the gloom, leaving no reminder of its presence but a faint breath of attar of ,1 CHAPTER OF CHAPTERS. 209 roses and a rnesonie calliope-like wail, You are my inspiration day by day. The Kappa Alpha house turned to its companion with a knowing- wink of an upper window and both laugh- ed. A deep, heart-broken sigh sever- ed their merriment in twain. Why what ' s the matter, old chap? P ' why sigh ? asked the Phi house. The sufferer looked from one to the other. It was a dark edifice, square in eft ' ect, with a skull over the door. P ' why sigh? With Jack IJrooke rooming in my wretched interior, to say nothing of Felix Bramlette chas- ing up from Galveston about twice a month and Danny Ruggles dropping in at any and all times ! And you ask me why sigh ? Great Scott, what utter callousness ! But say, old boy, that ' s a pretty pin you ' r wearing. Come to think of it, it looks a bit like ours. Now. ' ou see, ours has two little points — The Kappa Alpha house sighed wearily. The resemblance has never struck me. The Phi Psi house backed off. What infernal dis-Curtiss-y ! Well, excuse me, gentlemen. I had a whiskey before this, and was gone. A house with a big bundle of quiz papers under its arm and garbed in garments of ghostly white came glid- ing by. The Phi house started to fol- low, recovered itself sharpl - and re- turned muttering See what force of hal)it will do for a fellow. Ah, al- low me. Madam, to a house striving to free itself from some obstruction in its path. The Theta house scorn- ed the well meant offer with a petu- lant toss of a towering pompadour. Oh thank you, no.

I WAS listening- to the rain beating upon the roof and swishing against the windows, to the cry of the night wind outside, and gazing at the red coals in the grate. It was a wild, blustering night. Therefore. I was glad to be in a warm room with a box of good cigars, and better still (which is a great deal to say), a good book. It was now nearly eleven o ' clock. For more than three hours I had been supremely comfortable. And why should I not be, for during that time I had read many pages in that rare little book of Jeffries — The Story of My Heart. Moreover, I had smoked several very fine cigars, dreamed some, and talked a little with my roommate. He sat just across the table from me ; or rather. I should say, lazily reclined in a big leather chair. Most of the evening he had spent in the delight- ful labor of trying to color an ex- tremely elegant meerschaum pipe. Now I say delightful labor, because I am quite a smoker myself and I know how to love a meerschaum. My roommate handled this pipe in a manner that was exceedingly caress- ing — and I knew why he did so. You would have known also, had I told you who gave it to him and that he was in love with her — in fact, en- gaged to her and they would soon be married. I rather envied him. too. I had never been in love myself, but just then I was uncomfortably near the danger line. ( )nly a few weeks be- fore I had met Her at a dance. She favored nic once in the german. gave me two regulars and an extra. and even asked me to assist her in cut- ting a dance with a certain chump for whom I long had harbored a kind of unutterable contempt. At first I thought her charming, then bright, then interesting indeed ; but when she asked me to help her give that guy the cold shoulder, I immediately decided that she was possessed of an unusual amount of common sense, good judg- ment, and, moreover, was very pretty. I had called several times since and incidentally enlarged the coffers of 304 THE SWELL SET. Mr. Huyler and a certain florist, also I really congratulated myself that everything was flowing along so smoothly and that no one was aware of what was happening. Now. for instance , there was my roommate ; even he, poor dunce, knew absolutely nothing of what I was doing, I wondered what he would say if I should tell him that I was in love with Rosalie Pierce. He would probably warn me and say what I had heard so many others say ever since I had been in college. He would tell me that she was very fast — one of the kind that rope a fellow in and love him in just proportion to the sum he earns. Then there would be trouble for I knew that all these charges were utterly untrue. The very idea of Rose — I mean Miss Pierce— being fast was so very preposterous that it was entirely absurd. She was too modest, too cold, too pure looking. The fact that she cut that dance with that rich chump, Fred Allston, show- ed undeniably that she was not a girl who would work a fellow. Of course, some foolish gossip would say she did it to catch me; but just think now how very ridiculous such a charge would be. The more I thought about it the funnier it seem- ed ; until, unconscious of what I was doing, I laughed outright and when I raised my head and looked across the table, my roommate was peering through all that blue smoke about his head right at me. What the devil are you laughing at? he quietly asked. Nothing, I replied, bluntly. Evidently, he drawled, and then continued after a moment ' s pause, well please cease laughing at noth- ing long enough to pull down that transom over there, if you don ' t mind. I don ' t care to have that cold air blow- ing on me. My roommate is rather sarcastic at times and a bit cross, but I usually humor him. I would have done so to- night, anyhow, for the poor dunce was so ignorant of the nothing that caused me to laugh that I felt very sorry for him. I closed the transom as he requested, returned to the grate, poured some coal on the fire, and sank back in my chair. Transom, nmrmured my room- mate. What ' s that? I asked, looking up. O, nothing nnich, he replied, only a memory. Rather funny, though. I was just thinking of a little exper- ience I had once. It ' s laughable now, but I ' ll be darned if there was much humor in it then. When you closed that transom I recalled it. What was it? I asked. Of course, I mean, if I am not too — Not at all, he interrupted, I ' ll tell you. Just pass those cigars over here, please. I pushed the box across the table and he carefully replaced the meer- schaum in that handsome case. Then he lit one of the cigars and leaned back in his chair. SUCH STUFF AS DREAMS ARE MADE ON 305 It was this way, he began, In my Freshman year I fell violently in love with Mabel. Of course, I had to see how much money I could spend on her, so what surplus I had after settlings with the stables, confec- tioner, and Florist, usually was donated to the opera house manager. Well, I had a date to take her to Florodora — the first time the show came South — and as usual it was a bad night — raining like a second flood. Xow, mind you, Mabel had al- ready said she loved me and I had supreme confidence in her. Well, I arrived at the house where she stayed rather early, for I wanted to see Jim Henderson who roomed at the same place. When thel servant answered the bell I told her to tell ] Iabel to wait for me in the parlor, and I walked upstairs to see Jim. I re- mained with him, I suppose, fifteen minutes and then started down. Now the stairway has a second land- ing and turns in such a direction that when you reach this landing and start down you are facing a very large transom just over the parlor door, and from where you are you can ob- tain a very fine view of the whole parlor. Before I knew what had happened I was staring through that transom and what I saw made the blood in my veins change to ice water. I staggered and caught the railing to keep from falling. T knew I had not been drinking and I wondered what could cause such a delusion. Then I rubbed my eyes and looked again. There was the same picture, horrible and undeniable. In the middle of the room there stood a man and a woman, and the man was kissing the woman as fast and furiously as he could. The woman wore a green dress and her back was toward me, but I could see that the man was Fred Allston. The woman didn ' t seem to mind what he was doing, for her arms were about his neck and they were locked in one fierce afifectionate embrace. Now, Mabel had told me she would wear a green dress that night and this woman was just Mabel ' s size. You may easily imagine how I felt. I didn ' t pause a moment longer, but turned and rushed back upstairs and stood in the hall. Aly face was on fire and my head throbbed like it would burst, while my heart tried to beat a hole in my side. For the time being I was too stunned to move or make a sound so I just stood there while the agony grew keener each moment. I suppose I remained in that hall fully twenty minutes. In the meantime I heard the parlor door open, then the front door close, there was the sound of footsteps on the gallery, and then — ye gods ! a car- riage rumbled away. I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt then that Mabel had eloped with Fred Allston and they had used my cab while I had been left to hold the bag. With mingled feelings of revenge and shame, I proceeded slowly and softly k They zverc locked in one fierce, affecfionatc euilvace SUCH STUFF AS DREAMS ARE MADE ON 3U7 downstairs and into the parlor. The room was empty and there was a bright blazing- tire in the grate. I paused onlv a moment, then turned and walked out in the hall. I had just reached for my coat and hat when I heard a door open, the rustle of a woman ' s skirts, and there stood Mabel — right there before me — and dressed in green ! Oh, George, she began breath- lessly, I know you thought I was never coming. I ' m so sorry 1 have kept you waiting. Vell, pardon me, I slowly re- plied, but I was going to say the same to you. I was too dazed to do anything but stand there and stare. This I did for several moments, while Mabel stood there and stared back at me with a puzzled expression on her face. Presently I turned, walked to the door, and looked out. There stood my cab ! What the devil was the meaning of this ? I was now com- pletely puzzled and astoimded. T turned and looked at Mabel. Your green dress is very pretty, I began, slowly. (), thank you, she replied, but you should see Rose ' s. Rose? I echoed. Yes, she continued, she spent the day with me. She went with Fred Allston to the show tonight and they left about twenty minutes since. She has on a perfectly gorgeous ereen dress. (), I said, I see. Then I frightened Mabel very badly, for I rushed at her and fiercely embraced her. Luckily the hall was empty, and before she could protest I had hurried her out and into the cab. Excuse me, old man, but I ' ll not con- tinue my story, and he paused abruptly, and began gazing into the fire while the faintest kind of a smile played about his lips. A very peculiar experience, I replied, but tell me — who was the other girl? Oh, he answered, she was a beauty. I could never say anything after that when I would hear people gossip about her being fast. I knew it was too darned true. Well, I broke in, hurry up. Tell me her name. Her name is Rosalie Pierce, slowly replied my roommate. The hell you say ! I cried, leaping from my chair. My roommate gazed at me with a startled look in his eyes. Yes, that ' s who, he said, what ' s the matter? Nothing, I replied and sat down again. Outside the wind whistled and moaned, and the rain beat against the windows and pattered on the roof. Mentally I began to figure up how much I owed that confectioner and the florist, while T wondered if there would be enough left for a flowing bowl in which to drown my sorrow and blot out the past. 308 THE SWELL SET. Excuse me, I said, arising, but I believe I ' ll raise this transom; its rather warm in here. My roommate smiled as he nodded assent. Now why the devil did he smile ? Did he know anything ? The thought puzzled me for a moment, but when I looked at his calm, placid face as he sat there gaz- ing at the fire, I decided that he knew nothing. So I merely sighed, lit a fresh cigar, and sat down. Then I picked up my little book — The Story of My Heart — and com- menced to read. It is a clever, foolish, sentimental little story — one of the kind that is full of heartbeats and dreams. Only I think it is not com- plete enough ; some day, perhaps, I will improve on it.

One day she was walking as all maidens should (Or, as our Mrs. Kirby would like), With nary a beau to attend her, you know, As she wandered along so provokingly slow, Past a thicket of trees on the Pike. Now, in that same thicket a hobo was hid And the ' Varsity girl he saw, And he gazed at her purse and he wanted it worse Than ever a suicide wanted a hearse, For he ' d never read criminal law. So he jumped in the road and invited the maid A dividend to declare. For she had looks and learning in books, And he was bent (that ' s why they ' re called crooks) On doing the Texas Fair. Oh, why came Ferdy and Clarence not. To battle for her that day. With Tommy and John and Algernon, And chivalrous Harry and bold Leon, And run that tramp away. She looked to the left and then to the right. And then straight up in the air. And as her eyes gazed up at the skies. To the occasion her spirits did rise. And offered it a chair. Then she snatched a hatpin out of her hat. And she stuck him full in the side, And he ripped and swore and rumpled his hair. And moaned and groaned and leaped in the air. And passed in his checks and died. L ' ENVOL Oh, how did she happen to aim so true? You may ask me now, mayhap. After sticking the boys for flowers and rings.

Illustrated bv Liicicii Henderson EVERY Tuesday and Thursday for about ten months, these two men had met upon this very road, had run a race occasion- ah} ' , too — but never spoken to one another. They had many points of common interest, even, but had not warmed half a degree beyond the laying of two finger-tips to the lac- quered shields of their automobile caps. They rode the same brand of French Auto, the only two specimens of this kind south of the Mason and Dixon line. Even this fact, however, had not served as a ligament. One of the two men was very well known in Xtown — he was the hand- some INIrs. Heath ' s husband, and every Saturdav afternoon, sitting bv the side of his dazzlingly beautiful wife, he would direct his luxuriously accoutred machine to the Post drives, where slackening up, there would at once be multitudes of uni- formed beaux to surround her chariot. ] Irs. Heath ' s flawless com- plexion would be graced by two dim- ples in lieu of a smile — for smiles, you know, crease and wrinkle the skin ! and Mrs. Heath ' s husband would sit by the while and carefully observe the seams of his gloves about the fingertips. Sometimes he was seen entering a theatre box, somewhere behind a gorgeous pile of milky shim- mering white satin, oversewn with constellations of silver spangles, but was soon lost sight of when the box gradually filled with gay-colored uni- forms and the immaculate attire of the best-known lions or litterati. The other man was entirely un- known here, tho ' he had been in town almost a year. True, he stayed at the prime hotel and kept his Benzinopu- lus at a carriage house. He called himself Harrv Smith, but didn ' t look the name. He was very fond of automobiling and was out constantly — no other hand but his ever cleaned, oiled or repaired Thyra, as a small chased silver name-plate showed was her cognomen. Many at first thought him a chafifeur, practicing for some auto race of international re- pute, but when he stayed three seasons 312 THE SWELL SET. and still showed no signs of depart- ing, they were again at a loss to know where to pigeon-hole the grim and silent stranger. L ' pon this particular Thursday, when Harry Smith, a few minutes later than was his wont, turned into their accustomed race-track, he saw the beautiful brass-and- white car, which usually ran abreast of him at this place, pushed up against the left curb, and below crawled his sight- acquaintance, intent upon removing some obstruction. Harry Smith halt- ed, dismounted and joined the crawler in the dust. A glance sufficed and from a leather case he drew an instru- ment which Mr. Heath found entirely adequate to his purpose. When both. a trifle nnissed and hot, rose to the surface, the stranger, pocketing his tool, made a flawless bow, saying in a monotonous drawl — Mr. Harry Smith ! Mr. Heath coughed in em- barrassment and then shook Mr. Smidi ' s hand heartily — You probably know my name, he added after a pause. Yes, I ' ve heard you spoken of and your name mentioned, replied the other. A sudden wave of anger seemed to sweep over the countenance of the man addressed. I ' ll be willing to wager that you heard of me. either as Mrs. Heath ' s husband or that poor Mr. Heath! he cried in a pitiful voice and one could hear that he hoped against hope he might be mistaken. Harrv Smith did not deny. In fact he could not truthfully. The ray of hope died from the little red face, then its owner suddenly blurted out : Oh! you don ' t know how low- down a fellow feels when everybody considers him a nobody, a useless ap- pendage to a prett - wife — a mean sort of a fellow, who will not even do his wife and her followers the favor of making her a widow, who is snubbed at the same time his wife is flattered and courted — you don ' t know how a fellow feels when some entire stranger to you, makes allusions to your wife or takes the trouble to do so behind your back. Allusions, not in a way that you could lay the whip across his face, but so elusive that your wife claims not to have thought anything was meant! You don ' t have to play watch-dog at balls, soirees and operas, you don ' t have to stand a wife ' s icy politeness and polite aloofness as an equivalent for the thousands of dollars spent on the baubles, with which she bedecks her- self to please all men but the one she married ! There he stopped sud- denly realizing that he was saying to an entire stranger what he had never spoken aloud before, except when his car was sousing full speed and no one near to overhear. The strangers fare showed a gleam of sympathy. No, he said, but I will tell you what have to stand, and altho ' my trouble is so unreal, you shall judge ■ r CROSSES. 313 whose lot is harder to bear. The Branch Hotel can ' t be but three minute ' s auto ride from here, there we shall be undisturbed. In a verv short time they were seated in the Old Eng-lish room of the tavern with two tankards of frothy beer before them, and Harry Smith began : I have a wife. She is the sweet- est, most loving woman under the sun. She adores me to a foolish ex- tent and no other man exists for her. She sings, writes, cooks and dresses to please me and me alone. She is as pretty as any woman, and with the in- tellectual beauty that waxes with age and a thorough knowledge of her character — He ceased, sunk in revery. But vou must be entirely happy! few men can say so much of their wives ! Yes, but !

Yes, my wife wrote that book, and that book is the author of all my troubles and my present banishment from the sweetest woman in the world. When we started out housekeeping together, we were mighty hard up. 1 couldn ' t keep a servant for my wife ; she worked hard and kept the house as neat as a pin ; her clothes and mine were always in tip-top shape, and oh ! the dainties she could prepare for our cos}- little meals. She was ah a s sweet and loving and full of pity for poor Clyde, who had to work so hard — . How she ever did it, I don ' t know, but she managed to have a catchy article or storiette in each month ' s issue of a certain magazine published in our city. She was paid fairly well, too, and claimed it wasn ' t any work at all — she simply thought the things out over her cook- ing or dusting, and then took two hours from some afternoon to bring them to paper. All the while she was writing on a more ambitious work which she wished to ])resent to me for an Xmas gift. It was this very book, ' Oz ' cr flic Masses ' . You haven ' t read it so I ' ll have to explain. You see when my wife was a kid she had a }oung puppy lover, a good-for- nothing scoundrel, whom his parents shipped out to a mine in Mexico, to keep his misdemeanors from coming to the surface right under the noses of his aristocratic relatives. My wife corresponded with him for some time, and then their sweetheartship died a natural death. In this book, however, my wife pretends the heroine was cruellv parted from her true love and forced to marry a hound of a man who mistreats her atrociously.

Thus the entire book is a dialogue between the lovers oz ' cr the heads of the masses, and the clever management of these stories, which make the reader give himself credit for great perspicacity in divining the meaning, created for the book a popularity far beyond her boldest dreams. Fearing that if her identity became known, I might be put in a sinister light, she kept up her pen name. One morn- ing I came into my club and was treated by my friends with the most contemptuous coldness. Inside of another hour I knew all, that puppy dog in Mexico had read the book and had recognized the situation. Im- mediately he had sent all my wife ' s letters to a paper low enough to do an underhanded thing for the sake of notoriety, and I was shunned as onl_ - the monster luy wife pictured in her book so richly deserved. Of course she was besides herself when she learned what her book had caused ; she spoke and wrote for months, attempting to counteract the effects and to check the reports which were frying broadcast through the land, and had even bodded up in well known English ])apers. Every- thing in vain ! Each day she had a new plan by means of which she wanted to exculpate me — once she at- tended the races, begging me to come for her at a certain hour. When I arrived she laid her arm about my neck and said words of such true- ringing affection, with a look beam- ing of true love — all just loud enough for the next neighbors to hear and plain enough for them to see. At that moment there was a murmuring as the happening was carried from ear to ear — then a terrific hissing — threats — insults ! Every one thought I had forced her to such a public demonstration, as such an action would have been entirely in keeping with the character of the book-hus- band. After that we decided to fly together — to Australia, anywhere — just to escape from the world ' s sympathy for my wife. ' hen we reached the station, I went to purchase the tickets and when I returned, my wife had disap- peared. They had kidnapped her to keep her from going off with the brute. Her avowal that she loved me and wanted to go with me, were considered inspired by the dreadful fear she felt. I was told she was in the sleeper and boarded the car. grateful to be rid of my pursuers. The train pulled out, and too soon I discovered that my wife was not on it. At the next station — it was a small town — I got off but was met by a delegation from our city who al- lowed me to infer that if I dared re- turn to R , my life would be un- safe. So I decided to go to New 316 THE SWELL SET. York, where I should be lost in the legions of tracked and hunted, and write my wife to join me. For two months I was unable to make a let- ter or telegram reach her, and then it was weeks before she was able to answer. She told me to change my name and appearance and come South, and as soon as the public sympathy should have cooled down enough to make her life less like a prisoner ' s, she would come to me.

You see nothing but pumphandling arms, glad rags and blase features ; you feel nothing — but sorrv for the last ladv whose train you have boarded just as the conductor rang up a go-ahead signal ; Jl ' ifli a leather lunged Ethiopian card tray in front.

For ( as though there wasn ' t noise enough be- fore) there is a band or orchestra or something hidden out somewhere (God wot there ' s wisdom in hiding ' em) and Anona and La Golon- drina are punctuated by our sten- torian friend who pokes his head in at intervals and brays Air. Smith! Mr. Robinson! cheerfully, regular- ly and emphatically. Xow as I said, Hal ' s party was not of this variety. It was a stag affair strictly. Cards and good smoke, and lots of the wine that is a mocker}- and the strong drink that is raging. There were ten fellows in all, I remember, nearly all Epsilon Alphas, but me, who am nothing but unlucky. Hence my presence, I verily be- lieve. A wedding invitation always spells ten, fifteen, twenty dollars or maybe more (more probably less), but to me a poker party is a synonym for considerable more. I am thorough- ly convinced that Hal had this in mind when he so anxiously insisted that I be there. I dislike him for it, too. Rut as some good hearted Ro- man said De mortuis, nil nisi bonum, which means that you nms ' nt talk about the hand you ' ve just played. LUit while Hal is not mortuis, he ' s married, and that ' s much the same thing. For all this happened away last spring, the night before his wedding with Helen Banks, his final and everlasting fare- well to bachelor jollity. He had been winning steadily, the swine ! Think of a man inviting others in and then calmly robbing ' em ! Once when he scooped in my three pretty little nines with a vulgar spade flush, I really pitied Helen for the beast she was to wed until Death did them part. Besides then too. back in the old days, Helen and I were by way of being rather good friends until, — until — well, until I discovered that she was extremely anxious for me to accept an Epsilon Alpha bid. I fought shy of the bid,, and since that time, of Helen herself. Now Freshman, just a word. When a girl comes to you and her eyes arc big with entreaty to join the Epsilon (jammas or the Alpha Chis, or the Theta Rhos or any other frat, don ' t think it ' s on your account. Stoop nearer. Some Prince Charming of that particular frat, has made en- treaties for feminine assistance and when she makes her plea, it ' s the hero of whom she thinks and not the frat nor vet the Freshman. This is ad- vice ; therefore you won ' t take it. All flesh is grass and it ' s your only op- portunity in life to be absolutely green. But I was speaking of Mac- Kensie. As I have said, he saw me and rais- ed. I raised. He observed me again and called. All he had was a runty two pair. I had thought as much by the way he had drawn. The horticultur- ist will tell you that pears are fruit. So will the man with three Kings. LIKE AX OTHER HELEX. 321 I showed down and smiled contented- ly, for among other things I had a smile coming. Hut Mac had in ad- dition to his queens and sevens, a beastly King of Hearts. There w ould have been nothing very irritat- ing in this, had I not held a King of Hearts myself. Something was rot- ten in Denmark. Everybody grew suspicions of his very shadow, and no one wanted to deal because people watched him so. Consequently, when I proposed an adjournment sine die, nobody voted nay but the host. To this day the mystery of the deck that was so royalist in sentiment, is an unsolved one. Anyway, it was five o ' clock and high time to break up. I was broken up already, as were several others. I lied to Hal, like the others had done, and told him what a bully time he had given us. and came away with MacKensie. We were not the least bit thirsty, but hungry as wolves. So we decid- ed to hit the first joint we came to which would be Jim Wing ' s. Curi- ous coincidence of idioms, isn ' t it? Mac had been dipping into Hal ' s champagne pretty freely, first a little for his stomach ' s sake, then a little for his heart ' s sake, then some more for his lung ' s sake, and on the whole, I don ' t think he omitted much of his internal economy from the category. Therefore he was talkative. In the East was appearing the first glow of the day, Helen Banks ' wedding day — wedding the sus who had won m}- money. Therefore, I didn ' t care to do much more than be miserable. Mac maundered on about difiFerent things until suddenly I awoke with something like a start. ' S ' ou know Helen, I suppose? he was saying. Well, did I ! Rather, I replied. What of it? Lord, how I loved her! He snivelled. And how she seemed to lo -e me ! When I think now that I sold her ! I was wide enough awake by this time. To whom? I queried. Why to Hal, of course : Didn ' t you know I sold her to Hal? His face flushed full of drunken wonder. Xo, I confessed, I didn ' t! I had heard from dift ' erent sources that Helen ' s mother had, but I didn ' t dream tha t Mac had an}- hand in the transfer. But he had been very at- tentive some two seasons ago and there had been rumors — but tongues will always wag. Why so? I was feeling my wa} ' along dreadfully dangerous ground. Because I needed the money, of course, returned the bibulous one. I rather thought he w ' ould be a beast to her, but Lord ! How I was strapped and the money looked so good. The villain ! To sell that girl to a rival like Hal. What won ' t necessity make of a man ! I walked on speech- less. 322 THE SWELL SET. You remember when she was laid up last winter, don ' t you? Well, she had been up in his lap and when he thought she intended to kiss him, she nearly bit him. Then he jumped up threw her flat on the floor, and kick- ed her. Yes sir, that man that called himself my friend kicked my Helen ! His boot struck her foot and she didn ' t bear her weight on it for a month. I had stopped and was staring at him aghast. Was this some cock-and bull story of his alcoholic imagina- tion ? But no ! He was as earnest as a judge. I felt like going back and pvmching Hal ' s head. Rut then, I reflected, that would do no good and he might punch mine. It was not mv funeral anyhow, and if Helen want- ed to marry a brute like that, she could. So I walked on. Her mother had told me that the last time I had called that Helen had sprained her ankle while out at the golf links ! What an old she-devil, she must be to let her only daughter marry such a cowardly beast ! Mac went on. Hal and I like to fell out then. I couldn ' t see even a dog treated like that ! And the way she moaned ! Oh, damn him. damn him, he shouted, stopping short and glaring at me with heavy-lidded blood-shot eyes. Be still! I commanded, it ' s too late now. He turned aside and leaned his head against a trolley post with his arms before his eyes, for all the world like a little child. Yes. he mourned, but why did I sell her? O why did I sell her. when I loved her so ! When I loved her so ! O why did I sell her ! He asked the post over and over again. Great Scott ! I hadn ' t dreamed of Helen ' s loving Mac. Was he too drunk to tell the truth? Or were there really two Kings Of Hearts in this pack of troubles even as there had been in the pack of the night ' s play ? He was crying now, and the way the tears dropped down his maudlin face would have amused me any other time. It didn ' t now. however. And the way she guarded me and watched over me ! I remember the time the burglar got in and how she chased him off and tore the seat out of his trousers and — What!!! Helen Banks run a burglar off and tear — ' ' You dainucd fool! Who said anything about liss Banks? My English bull-dog, Helen of Troy, and she was the — I lost interest and leaned up against a lamp post to recover from the shock of a tragedy spoiled. I no longer heard Mac ' s ramblings over the dog he had sold to Hal and whom Hal had abused. In the East the dawn broke in rosy splendor, ushering in the new born dav, Hal Barkington and Helen Banks wedding day. Which was in itself sad. He turned aside and leaned his head against a trolley post for all the ii ' orld like a little child. 324 THE SWELL SET. Through the mazes of my revery itole the voice of the spirituous Mac- Kensie detailing the virtues of his lost pet and as he maundered on his voice broke which was even sadder.

A fair co-ed she was, and rather hright. The moon was high, it was a perfect night, But when I begged, she only sighed : My mamma says it isn ' t right! A Fresh she was in that past time. But grown a Senior, she has learned her line. For ' twas last night she coyly said to me : The next show, people say, is very fine. That co-ed ' s locks I thought most fair — So silken, soft, and she so debonair — But when I touched them, Jupiter and Jove ! A hundred Rats have tumbled from her hair. Then once I wept in much disgrace. And begged of her to stop the pace ; No answer came — she sang right on : O, don ' t drive nails in Mother ' s face! I sometimes think that ever blooms too red The paint upon the cheek of that co-ed. And then again I smile to think There may be wheels within her head ! These girls are only human, after all. Full of nnich vanity — as men. of gall — • And curiosity — O, no! Just hear them plead : Please tell me who will lead the Final Ball. See that co-ed, and as I pass her Isy, How saucily she winks the other eye. I wonder would she wink if I shouUl say That all that stuff I told her was a lie. Ah, Love, as down the corridor you walk, And let that Guy beside you stalk. That world-old question comes to me: Will co-eds ever cease to talk?

RULE BRITANNIA BY VIRGINIA RICE. Illustrated b Liicicn Henderson. IT WAS absolutely iiiconoruons to hear American college slang issu- ing from his lips ; one would ex- pect the Gaelic, or at the very least, the regulation Highland dialect of the ever recurring Scottish short-story, for his sleepy blue eyes looked out from under a heavy thatch of straight black hair, and his dark face had the characteristic square jaw and tender mouth of his race — it was the face of a mystic and a tighter — and his name was Angus Stewart. But as far as dress and speech goes, he was very much like the thousand or so students of his University, and his chief end in life seemed to be attaining perfect form in running, for he was already the crack long distance man on the A ' arsity track team and had aspira- tions toward such things as world championships. Then, in his Sophomore year, the inevitable happened, a girl turned up — girl very lovely to look upon and one who had keener perceptions and sympathy than most. And she soon found out the ruling enthusiasm of his life (which he carefullv conceal- ed ordmarily), an inordinate love and pride toward the land of his ances- tors. The girl was of Huguenot ex- traction and very proud of it. Her name was unfortunately Roach, but she was well aware that originally it had been de la Roche and that behind her were the glorious traditions of ancient France. They united in a fierce hatred of all things English, from the dynasty of Orange and the Duke of Wellington to plum pudding. And Angus told her all he knew of Scottish lore, so that she astonished her history class by familiar allusions to subtle points of Scottish history; and she knew the tartans and slogans of the various clans as well as x ngus himself. Whenever he needed cheer- ing, she would murmur gently the Stewart war cry of ' The Cormorant ' s Xest ' — but she could never manage the Gaelic of it. The case was longer-lived than the majority of college affairs ; it lasted nearly a year, then the crash came. There was rather a spectacu- lar quarrel. It was spring; she left for a twu years ' polish of travel and ■ RULE BRITAXXIA. 321 finishing school ; he settled down to hard training. II. The stadium was packed, but Stewart, jerking- himself along the home stretch of the four-mile in the Olympian games, heard nothing but the roaring of his own ears, felt noth- ing but the burning emptiness of his lungs. His feet had been rising and falling for ages, their motion was difficult now, but quite mechanical, he could not remember any other cir- cumstances than keeping up their steady rise and fall. Then he saw, only a yard before him, the back of Baxter of Yale who had led the field from the beginning. He was dimly conscious that the proper thing for him to do was to pass Baxter, but the distance between them refused to lessen, the stuflf for a spurt was not in him. Suddenly, through a confused buzz, and from very far oiT he heard a clear voice crying : Go on, remember The Cormor- ants Nest and something added the one touch of energy that made the intervening three feet disappear — and he threw up his hands and broke the tape. It was his last entry for the day, so when the tumult had subsided and he had been duly photographed re- ceiving the cup, he hastily got into his clothes and made a dive for that spot of the grand stand where his instinct told him she was. As he ap- proached, a figure detached itself from the crowd ; yes, it was she. And just behind her there was an- other figure, which made the conquer- ing Stewart smile reminiscently. Jove, what an English caricature, he muttered, won ' t she be tickled when she sees it. He swung himself up to meet her, and his eyes were not sleepy any longer. She greeted him with grace- ful cordiality, he thought eagerly that she, too, seemed to have for- gotten that silly quarrel. Then sud- denlv she turned to the English caricature behind her.

Far in the depths of the temple ' s courts, Under the cloudless sky. Sits an idol, crowned with a golden crown. And it stares and stares for ages down With a single jeweled eye.

Grimmer than all the gods of old That the fancy of Man designed. Awful as Siva, the Queen of Death ; Awful as Moloch or Ashtoreth, Is the God of Self in the temple of Mind. —.347— THE RUBAIYAT OF A MODERN RUBE. (Translated from the Riibinesque by Red Ale Nepopex.) Come fill the stein, and in Jacoby ' s home The memory of your last exam for- get— What boots it if while here we work and moan ? Tis g ' ood times we ' ll remember when we ' re gone. Each fall a thousan.d co-eds brings. )ou say ; Yes, but where now the co-eds of yesterday ? And something answers back from all the State: They ' ve graduated, for they ' re all M. A. ' s today. Well, let them be, what now have I to say, Of Penick, Campbell, and the gay array? For Gray and Griffith, Miller, too, and Hill ; All batch it, but they ' ve lost old Fay. Rather a dozen Steins beneath a shady tree Down at old Jake ' s — sandwiches three ; A crowed of jolly students with me there — O, University, were Paradise to me ! Some for the glory of the game, and some Sigh for the A ' s that never come. Ah, take a D and let the difference go, Nor heed the rumble of old Mezes ' gun. Look to the cold about us — Lo, Laughing, she says, into this school I blow At once the silken tassel of your purse Tear, and its treasure on me throw. -348— Ah. yes, T answer, Ijiit what matter tliat, And all the scroll of things unwritten, too ; The protest of Mrs. Kirbv and of stately Prex — The contents of a purse a woman ' s due. Ah, dearest, cut the class with me nor fear The grumbling- of a crusty Prof., my dear ; Come to the woods with me — to class each day we go — And Springtime comes but once a year. For some co-eds we loved — the loveliest and the best That from this school the waves of time have prest. They danced their dance, and cut their class, And Primer-like crept silently to rest. And we that now make merry in the school They left, and watch the antics of the Freshman fool Ourselves must go out, too, some day ; Go forth ourselves to make a place for — other fools ! A.h, dear. Til make the most of what I }et may do; Eat, drink, be merry, dance the long night through ; E ' re long, into the world 1, too, must go; Sans dance, sans beer, sans classes, and sans — you ! Why, all these Profs, and teachers who discuss Of all things wisely, some day must Lie down and die (like all the rest), and never know Of beer and love, like us! Myself, when just a Fresh., did eagerly frequent Doctor and Prof., and heard great argument. But now a Senior grown, and wiser, too. To Jake ' s I go whene ' er I have a cent. There was the door to which I found no Key, There the Keyhole through which I might not see ; Some little talk awhile of Him and Me, And then, no more of me. but all of Robert Lee ! When you and I out of this school shall pass. Oh, but the long, long while this place shall last, Which of our coming and departure heeds As some Profs, heed a student- — ont of class. —349— Waste not your hour nor throw away your time Studying hard in order to improve your mind ; Better be happy with the gay co-ed ; Eat of the melon and to others give the rind. For Afath. and EngHsh, though with toil and tear. And Latin, Greek and Physics I hold dear; Of all that I have ever studied I Was never deep in anying but — Beer ! Like Dr. Schoch, who passes and is gone, Hurry, my boy, from Dawn to Dawn, And ask of those who pass you by Will Dr. Primer ever cease to yawn? I sent my friend unto the Registrar, Some line of my report to spell. And, by and by, my friend returned to me And answered : O, John, but your report is Hell ! Some Profs. I know will jabber yet in Hell; Others behind the Pearly Gates will dwell, But this ril bet : where ' er they be They ' ll have those same old jokes to tell. Ah, with the Stein my ' Varsity life provides That from these co-eds I may hide The great love that I feel for all of them. And thus keep One forever by my side. Indeed, these co-eds I have loved so long Have done my credit in this town much wrong; Have caused my grades to look like E ' s, And sold my Reputation for a Song. Ah, dear, could ou and I with Prex. conspire, How we would change this sorry school entire ; Would we not shatter it to bits, and then Remould it nearer to our heart ' s desire? Yon, moon, that looks on old Bonnel, so plain, How oft hereafter will she wax and wane ; How oft hereafter, rising, look for us On this same mountain, and for me in vain ! And when, O, co-ed, dearest, you shall pass Out from these halls, out from each class, A thousand years from now, turn in your grave and laugh At that exam you did not pass ! —350— ©r U1003 A is for Adrain, or rather Boss Pool.

No answers to correspondents will be sent by mail unless a two-cent stamp is enclosed with the question. Address all such letters to Thi: Cactus, Austin, Texas. Leslie G. — We recommend Whittemore ' s shoe polish or Jet Oil. You will find, however, that the latter requires less exertion in applying. P-n-ds. — The light silk will be much more dressy, but you will find the dark flannel more serviceable for a bathing suit. ] Iiss D-n-m. — After investigating the acoustics of the library we find that a man ' s voice carries as far when, in conversation with the librarian as with a co-ed. B-11-rd-B. — I. ' ait until you are grown. 2. Would not advise it for several years — until you have reached the age of discretion. Joe H- — We agree with you that co-eds are intruders and are to be ignored. W. D. — After a thorough investigation we find the men in the A ' arsity are in no greater hurry for books than the girls. E. C. C. — You will find the following directions satisfactory, we trust. First, soak thoroughly in warm water; push back the skin around the roots with orange stick and applv ongaline ; again rinse in warm water, using Pear ' s soap freelv; then dry thoroughly and polish vigorously with bufifer. N. H. — It is well to be broad, but in frat. talk ' tis best to specialize to avoid complications. R.-W-t-on. I. You will find it effective at the opening of college to wear your oldest sweater, smoke a pipe and mingle with the common herd. 2. After the season, a smart black suit and hat are suitable, always accom- panied by a good cigar. —358— Dannv R. — From your letter we jiulgc that you are rather younj 1o affect the man of the world, and refrain from giving- advice. H. L. S. — We find it hard to advise you without knowing more about the matter, but warn vou not to allow freshman naivete to lure you from that which is tried and true. Lucile L. — Fashion decrees large hats and flowing veils for this season, and with vour stature you are wise in adopting this style. Joe K. — Our advice is : Be sure you are right hereafter before you begin to associate with Rockefeller. These get-rich-quick schemes are mostly hot air bubbles and liable to burst, you know. Snipe hunting is pleasant sport all right — when you don ' t have to hold the bag. L.-Br-y-1-s. — We find that the Rosaline brand can be used with perfect safety. It will impart a beautiful rose color to the cheeks, and can be used without permanently endangering the complexion. A.-J.-G-r-n-r. — If you feel that you are safe in playing the game, go ahead. Complications may arise, but, doubtless, you can explain matters. Egypt is a dark country and rather removed from the world, so, I guess, he won ' t hear much. And I thoroughly agree with you that it ' s only natural for the mice to play when the cat ' s away. H-r-r-t Sm-t-r. — We agree with you that an austere behavior towards him and an affected cold manner will tend to strengthen his ardent devotion. If you can hold out and strike at the right moment we believe that you will land him. P.-Ph-s. — There is nothing in names, according to Sir William ' s phil- osophy, so we hardly think there was any harm done. Evidently he took the compliment as it was intended. By the way, what kind of a dog is this anyhow ? L-tt-e H-rr-s. — Kicking is all right in its place. But it ' s rather expen- sive to experiment on derbies. Next time suppose you try an old slouch hat, or a cap, or a lunch basket. S-s-e S-e-t-n. — We hardly know how to keep him in Galveston. The woods are delightfully tempting these days, and cross-country running has ceased. At any rate, I would insist that he come not more than five days each week. E-h-1 M-r-y. — We have a page on the Infantry that will probably interest you. Doubtless the prep, school product is interesting and decidedly easy ; so push it along. We feel sure you know your game and therefore refrain from giving advice. B-u-a-h S-h-e-d-s. — i. Cultivate demureness. 2. Concerning the con- ferences we hardly know what to tell you. Probably it would be best to —359— refuse to attend more than four conferences each week, and under no circum- stances would I consent to remain longer than one hour each time. Va. R-ce. — Yours is a most peculiar case, indeed. When one ' s artistic and literary emotions conflict we won ' t gamble on the outcome. For the rest it ' s about a stand-ofif. Therefore, we cannot say what it shall be — Lit- erature or Art. A. P-o-t-r. — If it ' s easy to work the instructors and to play politics, wc advise you so to do. Judging from the past you have been very successful. J-l-a E-t-L— We think it best for you to quit school at the end of tlie session. And when you ride away don ' t take a car or carriage, omnibus or buggy, or wagon — take a — Ha ! Congratulations ! E-l-e B-w-n. — We agree with you that the horseshoe is quite becoming, and we hope there is good luck in it. H-l-n T-or-on. — All men are false, so don ' t worry. In the future, how- ever, don ' t rely too much on the belief that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Blot out the past and look to the future. F-o-e-ce C-w-n. — If you feel that cute ways are becoming we advise that you wear them. Be shy, coy, dainty and demure, and the girls will all come UP TO YOUR ROOM when they go to the W. B.

He ' s loving the girls, Their smiles and their curls ; This onetime bashful man, Robbie. Since the handsome young sophomore called Jones, And his slim better half known as Bones Are wearing derby hats And flaming cravats. The corridors echo with groans. Indeed, we are loathe to defame So able a president ' s name, But he knows he is pretty. And thinks he is witty, So, alas ! for poor Freshman McLean. There was a scapegrace at the Hall Whose inconstancy led to a fall. For he tried to combine An affection for wine With the ethics of Brackenridge Hall. That pretty Junior Law, Tommy Cobbs, With the common herd never hobnobs. Ere many months go He will learn this is so. That arsity ' s no place for snobs. I know a man who so dense is That he thinks talking frat no offense is. Of his ' steen bids he boasts. But a few well-aimed roasts Will briniT him back to his senses. There was a young man named AlcCall Who grew ' till he grew very tall. When twenty-one came He said, what a shame ' T can now grow no more at all. —362— ANOTHER ALL-SOUTHWESTERN TEAM.

Ego, I, me, and myself bave all unanimously, concurrently and witb one voice requested asked, begged and even plead with me to pick an All-Southwestern Football Team.

In general I may safely say that when we gaze upon this aggregation we see stars. Taken indi i(lually, each player runs like an antelope, butts in like a goat, and the ladies all say he is a perfect deer. His interference is superb ; in fact he is n.oted for interfering with everything he sees. He is a wonderful kicker and the possessor of an aquiline nose. This is always seen thrusting itself into line bucks, end runs or affairs of others. He is a model player and never indulges in fits of anger approaching hysteria and would rather die than to be guilty of unseemly, uncalled for and ungentle- manly conduct towards the officials of the game. He cannot gain nuich ground because he is not a householder, but aside from the fact that he is no good, he is still all right. F. H. C. -365- SKISM A FARCE IN ONE ACT Presented With Great Success Before The Student Body of the University of Texas by A Talented Company consisting of Delegates from the Various Sororities of the University of Texas With apologies to The Texan of Nov. 16, 1904 DRAMATIS PERSONAE, KosE Bush and Pracious Gilliaed, Without thorns, and delegates from Tri Alpha. Olive Green Everlasting and Marion Steadfast, True, tried, and trusty, delegates from Delta Sigma. JULIA Stiles and Delphi a J ckson. Dainty delegates from Epsilon Beta. Laura David and Lilly L rcher, Demure delegates from Tau Sigma. KiTTiE Corner Brown, Victimess of the Torture-Chamber. (A Freshman) laids-inAVaiting: Wax Figures; Chewing Gum Ads containing photographs of Robert Wat- kins; Face Powder Representatives; Members of the Various Sororities, Copies of Ladies Home Journal, Delineator, and Standard Designer are scattered about the room. SCENE: Ashbel room during Pan-Hellenic Meeting. TIME: Three Jays and Fifteen Minutes before Pledge Day. Curtain rises on excited groups, girls running hither and thither, wildly gesticulating and tearing their hair (also that they hought). Delta Sigmas on being approached refuse to osculate and stand ' )stentatiously aloof from the rest. Opposite them, the Epsilon Betas and the Tri Alphas are engaged in close conversation. The Tau Sigmas in the center of the room are palpably vacillating and furiously chewing gum. The President takes the chair and raps vigorously — who happens to l e standing nearby. Pres- ently she raps the table also, and at this juncture one of the girls calls for her wrap. Then suddenly there comes a pause stealing in through the door and the assemblage is wrapped in a heavy cloak of ominous silence. The President (in a melo-dramatic villain whisper): (iirls, the hour has came ! ' A titter runs around the room, but is speedily caught by one of the girls and thrown from the window. Silence again. President: The meeting will please come to order. Miss Steadfast: Where is order . President: You are out of order, please be seated. Aliss Steadfast : Am I ? I never knew I was in. Thank you for the suggestion ; and, er-pardon me — would you mind lending me your frat piii — I want to write a story. Another titter starts, but is hastily stopped and choked to death. Miss Gilliard: Rose P)ud, deary, tell ' em to state the object of the meeting. —368— T Prcsldoit : Miss Marcher, will yon kindly state the object of the nieet- ino? Miss Marcher: ' hy-er-T-ahem-l don ' t know exactly, but a bov told me — Frcsidciif : (icily) Miss Steadfast can YOU inform ns? Miss Sf cad fast: (Rising- with great dignity — who is sitting by her) I will read the contents of this document. Loud cries from all assembled — The Document ! The Document ! We ' ll hear the DOCUMENT ! Read the Document ! On with the DOCU- MENT ! The President raps rapidly for order and presently that worthy individ- ual comes sliding through the door with her hands up as if warding ofif a blow. She has just taken her seat and silence begins another reign of terror among the girls when Miss Delphia Jackson asks in a whisper : Is that the Doc-you-meant ? Pandemonium starts again and with much dit culty (who works hard) the President finally restores peace-piece by piece. Miss GiUiard : Mr. — I mean Madam President — I make a motion that everybody except the delegates leave the room. President : Does tlie lady from Tri Alpha put that in the form of a motion? Miss GiUiard: She do — I mean, I do — she does. President: Do I hear a second to that niotion ? Afiss Steadfast : Wait long enough and you will hear a minute. Again the titter makes a feeble effort to exist. The President raps for order. Miss Jackson: (Slowly arising) Madam President, it gives me great pleasure to have the exquisite honor of arising to second that momentous motion. Miss Steadfast : Pray, tell me, when did you get to be time-keeper for this assemblage? Miss B-c ' crlastiiis: ' . ladam President, I protest. I protest in the name of all that is sacred, true, noble, honorable, and fashionable. The honor of Delta Sigma has been impeached, and Delta Sigma has a right to hear and be heard. That ' s not all that Delta Sigma has, either. Besides, we have talkcfl to juen who know and we demand that this thing be done legally. President ( In a pacifying manner) : Well, if you want a trial I suggest that we call in Judge Townes ; he knows all about equity. —369— Miss Steadfast: Pardon me, my dear Alphonsess, but Judge Simp- kins TEACHES equity ; and, moreover, I may add, that he knows something about contracts, and he has offered — Miss GilHard : ' Well, pardon me, my dearest Gastoness, but my motion for the delegates to move hasn ' t been voted on yet. Rosy. President : The Chair rules that all out-siders leave the room. Miss Steadfast : How can they ? All out-siders have already left the room — if they were ever in — and now that they are out, how can they be in to leave? President: Then to be more explicit — the Chair rules that all those who are at present present and are duly delegated delegates will remain. All others — towit : those who are not delegates will please make their | exit (and anything else they may choose to). | Exit all the delegates, talking rapidly and murmuring indignant pro- J tests. ; Miss Everlasting: Pray proceed, Marian, and read the thing. ! Miss Steadfast: This document — ' Chorus : Protest ! ! ! Miss Steadfast : Madam Chairman, I have the floor and I demand ! that my rights be protected. I shall brook no interruption. Why there is so much noise here that one would think we were in the library and that the i librarian was entertaining a crowd of young gentlemen gathered about her desk. President: I order order! ' ' I Silence slowly settles down. } Miss Steadfast: (Proceeding) This document was delivered at the Delta Sigma lodge last night at half-past eleven (just after we had suc- ceeded in making Wallie Tyler and Tudie Thornton leave), and it will probably explain the meaning of this called meeting. (Reads) : We the undersigned chapters (4, 5, and 6, pages i to 3 inclusive) members of the Pan-Hellenic Conference of the various Sorori- ties of the University of Texas wish to enter protest against certain courses (aside from i Iath., English and Geology), which, in our opinion, violate the spirit of the inter-fraternity contract. Can Delta Sigma explain the persistent and wide spread rumors that Miss Kittie Corner Brown was pledged to that fraternity, by that fraternity, previous to her graduation at prep-school ? We are informed, also, that said young lady has been invited to be a guest at your house within three weeks of pledge day. This, in our opinion, violates the clause pledging to refrain from violent rushing. —370— In addition to suljtraction. from and multiplication of these offenses, Miss Katherine Gould was heard to yell Time! and seen to break away excitedly from a group of Delta Sigmas, crying out, T can ' t tell vou now — please don ' t ask me any more ! ' We know this to be true. Can vou explain it? We ask for justification on these points — however sharp thev mav seem. Moreover, we beg to announce that we cannot another year be bound by a contract — in view of the fact that we have not heretofore been bound by it. We suggest that probably some leather binding or cloth or even paper will suffice in place of a contract. This, Madam President, and Lady Delegates from the Various Sorori- ties of the University of Texas is the document we received last night. We are here to demand an explanation why these charges are brought, and to investigate the foundation upon which they rest. Miss Jackson : Nobody wanted the old contract in the beginning — we told you it would be. (with dignity) The Epsilon Betas — Miss Gilliard: (Interrupting) Oh, hush Delphia ! We want these charges explained. Rosy Bud, I want that freshman brought in ! President: What is the pleasure of the body? Chorus: The FRESHMAN! The FRESHSMAN ! ! we ' ll have the FRESHMAN ! ! ! (Exit Laura David. Tense silence for a moment. Re-enter Miss David with Kittie Corner Brown, blindfolded, gagged, bound, handcuffed, being led by a chain. The victimess is led to the side of the President ' s table where she remains standing, pale and trembling.) President: Miss Gilliard, you may examine the witness. Miss Gilliard : Well pardon me, but I am no doctor, and I don ' t imag- ine I look much like a teacher. President: The Chair by way of explanation will say that you may question the witness. Miss Gilliard : Oh, ha ! ha ! — you mean I may ask questions, do you ? Well, I am a co-ed and, therefore, I proceed. First, however, please remove the outer covering and hardy habiliments. (The victimess ' blind- fold, handcuffs, gag and chains are removed and she blinkingly stares about her.) Miss Gilliard : Now Miss Brown tell the jury, your name, age, date and place of birth, occupation and — Miss Stiles: (Interrupting) Oh, let me question her — now, please do. Really, Precious, I ' ll treat to chili if you ' ll only let me. Ah, that ' s a good girl. (Turning to victimess) Now I want to know about this. Three weeks, eight days, twenty-seven hours, seventy-four minutes, and eighty- ' s 71— six seconds ago — to be precise and exact ( which is always best in inter- fraternity matters) — a boy told me that a girl told him that your aunt told her that her uncle ' s daughter-in-law once said that a friend of her brother ' s wife ' s sister told her that you were pledged to Delta Sigma last year. Now (breathlessly) what have you to say to that? The Vicfinicss: What bo}? What girl? When? Who? which or what? wherefore and why? ' Miss Stiles: Never mind: that does ' nt matter — you ought to be able to see that it dosen ' t. We don ' t want to bring men ' s names into this. Can you deny the charge? The Victiiness: (Innocently) I haven ' t my purse with me, but how much is it? Miss Stiles: Enougth ! answer my question. T ie Jletiiness- Has it any sub-heads? Miss David- (Interrupting) Now Julia, I don ' t think she can have said that. Somebody told me that every night she cried herself to sleep for fear she wouldn ' t get a bid. Miss Gilliard : Stufif and nonsense ! It was all over Rockport last sum- mer that Elizabeth Ormond gave a bathing party in honor of the ' Delta Sigma Pledge ' . Chorus: A l:)athing party — (Jh, Heavens! — this is too much, too too much. (Girls all faint and smelling-salt representatives step to the rescue.) Miss David: (Arising and almost breathless; staring straight at the victimess and pointing a finger of denunciation at the crouching creature) BUT ARE YOU PLEDGED? I ' he Jlctiiness: Tlie Delta Sigmas never wrote, printed, or spoke to me of frat in my life. Of course, I am not pledged — boo hoo — boo hoo O me — boo hoo. ' ' Miss Stiles: I suppose we shall ha ' e to take the voung lady ' s word. After that if there is anything left we will take that also. Now, on the next head (referring to notes) : ] liss Brown do ' ou consider that you were violently rushed while lodged at the Delta Sig;-er-Lodge ? The Viefimess: 11, hardly. Why, they were-er-lovely to me, of course they always are — but I DID study — Miss Steadfast ( Loftily interrupting) We have seen to that. I am SURE Kittie has had more lime to study than she EVER did when the Epsilon Betas were monopolizing her everv other night — at their PARTIES! —372— Miss Stiles: Really. Well, we did not think that we had encmoh elaim on Aliss lirown to supervise her studies, hut — llic rictinicss: (Meekly interrupting) The ' parties were awfully nice — and — and — so was the week at the Hon — I mean Lod_ge — and the chilis, and i um — and candy, and trolley rides — and all that — (breaks down and w eeps) l oo-hoo — lioo-hoo. lUit, girls, PLEASE don ' t fuss over me and don ' t weep and e;nash your hair and tear your teeth when I am gone — P.oo-hoo — I — 1 — I — Like you All ( Bursting in to tears) Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo — and I hate to lose any of you for my friends — but (sobbing) since this has come up, I mig ' ht as well tell vou that I have made up my mind — and this in spite of the fact that I am a co-ed: (Bracing up) I — I — I — Boo-hoo — I am g ' oing to be a Tau Sigma ! ' CURTAIN. (Wild apjjlause and cries of Speech! Speech! Speech! Curtain slowly rise on victimess (who holds it up all right) supported by the Tau Sigmas. The other girls sit, exchanging looks of blank astonishment- — no one getting the better of the trade. Second curtain slowly decends and some one froui the gallery cries out: ALL ' S WELL THAT ENDS WELL! ) THIS NOBLE FRESHMAN PRESIDENT. Well T don ' t want no gatlin guns in mine, No forty fours, no dirk, no gun. no knife Nor anv other thing that blots out life. I ' or I ' ve no earthly use for things like those So long as moisture from my tear-duct flows. The plashing tear drop soothes the savage breast. The salt tloods straightway wash grim wrath away. And murd ' rous glances from black masks allay. The pine trees shudder at the gloomy sight as I Redouble tear on tear and sigh on sigh. Rause mit the pomp of war. What use say I Is yonder frowning fort, von stately fleet ; The reeking tube of carnage now is obsolete. r,rim visaged War hath smoothed his wrinkled front, r.ecause he knows my tears have got him skunt. —373— Jk SCENES FROM THE GREAT EASTERN MEET.

Engineers, Freshmen, and Laws engage in guerilla warfare from 10 o ' clock at night until 3 o ' clock in. the morning. Foot races take place all night long, in which, the Laws were in the main victorious. Tank was the scene of feverish activity, all the fever, however, not being con- fined to the tank. Engineers paint inscriptions all over the tank and guard it all night. They evince considerable contempt for all things lawful and legal. They made a clean sweep of P). Hall. The bath tubs were kept busy all night long. Lumpkin, Tipton, Nev, and other prominent Laws become web- footed. Ed. Crane and Billy 131ocker were hauled l iack from the Sigma Chi house and made to walk the plank. Oct. 15. Carrie Nation arrived this morning and made a speech, creating a great stir in the Corridors. Pat quakes and talks Hibernian slang. The President was not to be found, but a battery of rapid-fire ' plion - graphs was turned on the crowd and they dispersed be- fore the storm of armor piercing speeches. The Laws resolve to wipe out the night ' s defeat in gore. The tank is scientifically rushed and a phalanx of Peregrinders guard every approach. The Hickey Quartette is dumped into a deep mud-hole to the enraptured delight of all the spectators. The Faculty appears, but as all the mud has been used on the Engineers they are left unmolested. Speeches follow from the President, Alezes, Miller ct al. [Much speculation is rife as to what Governor Lanham will say. Crowd is dispersed by the Austin Rifles. The signs are painted out that afternoon and peace reigns. Oct. 15. Mammoth shirt tail parade. B. Hall walks the streets like Hamlet ' s ghost. The ghosts proceed to haunt the Kappa house, and cause consternation at a rush party there. Tableau, hilarious paraders, terrified PYeshmen, tearful Kappas. Ed Crane is so shocked that he cuts a wisdom tooth on the spot. His jaw is the size of a peck measure by 1 1 o ' clock P. M. Oct. 16. Great indignation is felt by the student body over the molesta- tion of the Kappa house. Crane ' s jaw is still on a swell. The Facultv —376— holds a meting- to take action (m the paratle and to relieve Crane shonid worse come to worst. Oct. 17.

Diogenes tells a fearful tale of midnight deviltry, and Officer Brodie gives up the chase. Nov. 15. Reign of terror still continues. Freshman reception takes place on this night. The president of the Freshman class is kidnapped by masked banditti and prevented from leading the ball. He outwits his captors and by his valor and addresses makes his escaoe. Another M. M. M. out- rage. The college authorities unite to crush such lawless outbreaks and the Betas vow revenge. Nov. 16. Great excitement j revails among the sororities. A midnight message is delivered at the Kappa house requesting them to disgorge feloni- ously secured Freshman in violation of the spirit and letter of the rushing agreen-ient. A crowd of revellers passing the Kappa house at 5 A. M. re- n-iark Thev ' ve seen a rat. WHO ARE THE M. M. M. ' S? —377 — 1 he (zTt eatJbcA ' sm Nov. 17. Article appears in the Texan containing a vivid account of the sorority muddle whereat excitement waxes hotter and hotter. Clint Brown takes to the woods. Fake letter purporting to come from the Kappas is sent to the other sororities with counter charges of treason, murder, arson, sacrilege, and attendant villainies. M. M. M.

Who wrote Skism ! Skism ! Skism ! Who sent the fictitious letter? Emmett Mclnnis joins Clint Brown in the woods. Are the ] I. M. M. ' s an auxiliary of the Kappas? Nov. 19. Sorority pledge day. Kappas find all the messenger bo} s cornered, and they hire Beta, Phi, and Kappa Alpha porters. The other sororities serve notice on these fraternities that such partizanship will not be tolerated. Three dummies arc found on the campus bearing signs Spiked by Kappa Alpha Theta, Spiked by Pi Beta Phi, ' Spiked by Chi Omega. . grave stone is also found near the Wonian ' s Building with the inscription Done to death by the Kappas — A victim of violent rushing. The I.A ' I. M. ' s have been at work. The M. ]M. M. ' s have a bacchanalian orgy on the campus Beck vows vengeance on all lawlessness.

I would let the Junior Faws eat up the Freshmen, I would make those Engineers do many chores And Fd not allow a single frat to rush men. Lentil the spring of nineteen eighty-four. And if ever came the time when from work Fd cease. Or if ever I were troubled with ennui, I would take the wheels beneath Joe Kerby ' s sky-piece And Fd roll the Hancock Theatre up my sleeve. And then Fd have the Austin Rilies for a kind of body guard, I would make examinations so they wouldn ' t be so hard, I would be the dashing President of every Final Ball, I would have the best of champagne in the coolers at B.

It is due to a learned professor who had just returned from years of hard study abroad tliat we first had an inkling as to what this creature might be. It seems that when this professor first beheld it, he threw up his hands in horror and ex- claimed horribile visu ! SetvovtSe ! the terri- ble boll-weevil has reached us but I had no idea it was so large except in the dreams of cotton-planters. Of course any well- informed Texan with practical experience must know that it is not a boll-weevil, but if he has any doubts about its being an in- sect he can now be thoroughly satisfied. Has it not rings or segments of the body like an insect; and has it not six legs like an insect ; and has it not an ovipositor or sting which is also a characteristic of many insects ? It is an alarmingly fearful looking creature as it stands reared on end as if it were going to pitch forward, thrust its beak, and suck the juice from the bloated enlightment-furnishing departments located in the upper floors, or else fill the earth full of its progeny to break out and suck to dryness the schools of less airy locations. However, there is not yet even circumstantial evidence to show that any of the prevailing dryness of any department can be attributed to it. When Insectus first appeared it became infested with thread like external parasytes which coiled themselves into shapes singularly like letters such as C. E. O. L. 7 ; these parasytes had no more than taken possession when they suddenly departed. The utilitarians declare that only one field of usefulness is left for Insectus. We are afraid, however, that in their decision they have allowed some feeling of spite to enter. They proposed that, since Insectus had constituted itself the fidiis Achates of the Engineering building that it be accepted as a i ciius loci and that its picture be adopted by the Engineers as a fitting banner to be carried forward dauntlessly in battle to meet the approaching Perigrinus. — Here the risioiiist interposes to say to the timour- ous, should the Utilitarians suggestion be accepted, think not less you would die of fright, of the result of that terrible spat, if like the ' gingham dog and the calico cat ' there should be a waking of the Insectus and like- Avise a waking of Perigrinus. —384— ' i no ' 5 wnicn at tcxas anyhow CL ' RTISS, Frank Homely.

The Faculty of the University of Texas are even now grappling with some such problem. The Cactus this year mingles the different departments of our school into one, and it is, therefore, not now inopportune to talk of a closer bond between the Galveston College and the one at Austin. At present, each one is striving toward its own peculiar aim. The Academic Department wants to bring out every hidden power, to satisfy every craving for exercise, and thereby to lay a strong, broad founda- tion for character. When a man craves athletics, science, or literary lore, this school stands like a sylvan pool, inviting him to bathe. The aim is, not that each graduate shall know so much pedagogy or so much oratory or so much science, but that a large number of men shall go out into the world trained in the accomplishment of their legitimate desires ; men that shall perform, mingle, enjoy, and teach others to do the same. So the training be there, it matters not a straw whether a man has studied Sanskrit or slang, the solar system or pollen granules. It is different with the ] Iedical Department. Here, the goal is entirely objective. Every peculiarity of the human machine must be noted, every whim remembered. What good to sa this vein shall have lain deeper, if the vein be already severed? The physician absolutely must possess a thousand bits of knowledge which resemble the trivialities of a cyclopedia, but which lead to momentous results. And yet, our teachers have managed to combine these two incongruities. The Academic Department, it is well known, desires to furnish trained men for public life. A physician associates with more people than a farmer; his chance to spread enlightenment is consequently greater ; and hence he is one man that certainly ought to have good literary training. Moreover, there are some four or five scores of men that begin studying physic in Galveston every fall ; and of these men not three per cent have literary degress. It seems indeed advisable, therefore, that the Academic Depart- ment should allow her doors to remain open toward these needy ones. Of course, the ] Iedical Department desires trained freshman. When it gets them, much of the drudgery of teaching the abc ' s of science is avoided, and the faculty can devote their time to more professional sub- jects. A trained class has some notion of how to take notes. Besides, the most learned doctor on earth, if never consulted, would be but a grave- ar(l for knowledge, and there is some satisfaction to the Faculty in knowing that their students arc men ])repared to wi:i places. —39.5— It has been stated that the Faculties of the two departments have dis- cussed a shorter course leading to both B. A. and M. D. Why should not six years earn both degrees? At present, there is over a year ' s work common in the two schools ; and only mechanical difficulties prevent students from earning both degrees in seven years. There is a wide gap between four years and seven, and yet some men finish at Austin before beginning the study of medicine. Now most men that spare four years could spare six. Many of them would, if by so doing they might win the literary degree. Every medical student knows he cannot minister unless he be sum- moned. He knows he is a failure unless he gains a practice. He believes he will be at a disadvantage when he competes with men having a literary equipment. He observes the University of Chicago giving both degrees in six years ; and he wonders how a green high-school graduate can prepare himself in four years to cope successfully with such seasoned competitors. It is true, the Texas boy may and can either attend the Academic Department for two or three years and leave degreeless. or he may spend eight years in school, not to say in monastic seclusion. He does not do the former; he won ' t do the latter. The lawyers get both degrees in six years, and that is enough time to spend in school. No one but a college professor knows how hard it is to make a new adjustment of the schedule ; but it does seem possible so to combine the two courses that a man might secure both training and attainment in six years and get credit for his work. WHY MEDICAL STUDENTS DON ' T DRINK MILK. There are germs in the milk, for the stable was dirty, Per c. c. three million three thousand and thirty. There are some from the hair of the cows nasty tail. And some from the rim of the unsterilized pail, Some more from the teats, and a lot from the udder. The sight of milk gags me, the thought makes me shudder. For I think of the cocei, the tetrads and such. The staphlos, comas, bacilli, and much. That flies from the dust ! ' Tis a fluid to fear, To ily from and spurn ! Let me rather drink beer. Of Pilson or ' Wurzburg, Milwaukee or Ehrett. But no bovine secretion ! I simply can ' t bear it, When I think of the colonies, thousand and thirty. From cow, pail, barn, farmhand — and all of them dirty. —.396— GALA ' KSTOX TE VS. GALVESTON MEWS. A UNIVERSITY DAY. 3T HAS been suggested that a new day be inserted into the calendar of the Medical College at Galveston, and that it be called University Day. The suggestion comes from those students o the Medical Department who would like to see a closer union between ' X ' arsity and the Medical School, and the plan, in brief, is to have one day in the college year — Thanksgiving- l)a -. say — upon which students from the Mddical Department shall visit en masse the Main University at Austin. The plan reckons upon an annual excursion train from Galveston to Austin ; and then, Austin reached, one grand University of Texas union of Medics. Lits, Laws, and Engineers. The idea shoul meet with instant approval from every true college man. No harm and great good should result from such a mix-up. The occasion would be the Thanksgiving holiday and regular Thanksgiving football game, with A ' arsity pitted against a strong and worthy opponent. Moody and monocled Medics would then have opportunity to raise their hats to A ' arsity Co-eds and a whoop for A arsity ' s team, and feel the better for both. With- out conjecture as to the elifect upon the Co-eds, the team, it is safe to say. would do the better for their share in the greeting. Two hundred students from the Medical Department on the side-lines, and each with the Orange and White streaming from his coat lapel and a voice to cheer the boys on would not fail of effect upon the struggling team, and what an impression it would make upon visitors ! this showing of forces united. Then after the game was over. ' ictory resting upon the Orange and White, there would be a union in celebration, and the Medical boys would feel the quell was part their ' s. Supposing, then, defeat were the issue, a feeling of common regret would reign, and the boys from Galveston would take the defeat as part their own. And so, out of it all would grow a bond of union. a feeling of closer relationship between the departments. The Main University has reason to see good in the carrying out of such an idea. In the first place, it will become better acquainted with a member of its own family, will come in personal contact with students making up one of the University ' s most important branches. And then, there are many students of the Academic Dedartment who, after leaving Austin, expect to —399— take a professional course in the Medical School. The contact of these with students already taking- such courses would be a source not only of pleasure but also of valuable information and suggestion to those expecting to take the Medical work. lUn most of all to be benefited by a University Day will be the boys from the vledica! College. (Jut of the sand of the Island City they will be permitted to step upon the firm ground of ' X ' arsity ' s athletic field ; instead of the sad, ceaseless roll of the sea waves they will hear the quick, triumphant shouts of Hullabaloo. They need the change; they need to know some- thing of college spirit ; they need the intercourse of representative college men. Xot to disparage life at the Medical Department, there are few to deny that the boys there know little of that fine thing which we know as college spirit. And then, finally, there is need that the Medical College come in truth to feel itself a part, close, vital, and appreciated, of the Uni- versitv of Texas, rather than the State Medical school as it is more generally known over Texas today. A Universiy Day, the general idea of which I have tried to present above, would it seems, be a good start in this direction. SiMMs French. i i —400— ESCHAROTICS. Hullabaloo — , — , (Cop), Maverick.
