Are not we all continually grasping for those things which, we think, will afford us the most ease, satisfaction, and joy? Some seek it in trying to obtain wealth through the financial channel, others in doing for their fellow men, and still others in purifying their souls by obedience to the laws of God. The sparkling coin, although of true use to man as a means of ex- change, has, perhaps, caused more unhappiness, and ruined more souls than any other one thing on earth. We have not far to go to find the man who is struggling for it with the view of enjoying the luxuries of life, which he calls happiness; nor to find those who would purchase it even at the price of all earthly happiness and, in many instances, the loss of their own souls And yet “what has the owner but the sight of it with his eyes?” Notwithstanding this, there is still another view of the financial ques- tion. Money may be used as a means, to promote the cause of happiness not only on earth, but also in the great beyond. There is a time, use for it: but we too often lack the power to enjoy it. The fault, however, is not with the money but with the user, for the value of money depends upon knowing how to use it. as well as upon the way in which it is obtained. Too often we prize it too highly: and to obtain it we neglect the higher principles of life. The world is too much with us, Getting and spending we lay waste our powers, Little we see in nature that is ours.” Why should we spend so much time seeking for riches? “The rich and the poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all,” and “what doth it profit a man though he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” Among the great principles that promote time happiness is also that of striving to benefit our fellowmen: for in striving to do good to another we can not fail to bring joy and satisfaction to ourselves. The ways in which we might help others are many and various. However the one great law, '‘Love one another” will cover, or at least lead to all others. This law is exemplified in “King Lear” in the faithful old servant Kent. For although he had been banished from and by his master, his great love led him back to care for Lear in the hour of need. And while his eyes were filled with tears of sorrow, he must have enjoyed great inward pleasure to have the opportunity to prove of use to his master in the hour of affliction. The .leoni—Tage.? Gloucester is also an example of this: for although death was staring him in the face he could not he truly happy until he had given shelter to his friend. Even though his eyes were afterwards torn out for it, he could still retain that inward satisfaction of knowing that he had done his duty. We owe such acts of kindness also to one another, and there are daily opportunities for us to perform them. Who can value the price of a soul? Yet you may be the means of saving at least one if you will. This may be done by a word of encouragement, a hearty hand shake, or a comforting word or act in the hour of trouble. Then let us speak a kind and encouraging word when we can: let us open the shutters of our souls, pour out the sunlight of brotherly love and kindness: for we know not the good we might do, or the time when we shall need comfort in return. This is one of the great princi- ples which King Lear realized when he exclaimed, while in the hour of affliction: “Poor naked wretches, wheresoe'er you are, ■ •� ’ IIow shall vour houseless heads and unfed sides; Your loop’d and widow’d ragged ness, defend you Prom seasons such as these? 1 have ta’en Too little care of this!” These acts will develop, or will at least aid in developing in you purity and nobility of soul that quality which will draw from the souls of others love and respect that the stern command fails to bring; that quality which will stand forever honored and beloved by all: that quality which is so strong- ly exemplified in the life of our Savior, and which placed him on the right hand of God.

Don’t scoff or point with the hand of scorn At the man with the lagged coat: The billionaire isn't an angel born. Nor such does his dress denote: Don’t laugh at the girl who is “out of style,’’ Though her dress be threadbare and old; Perhaps there’s a jewel beneath that gown That in the billionaire’s wealth can't be told.

Each kindly deed has its recompense, We are placed here to make or mar; And e’re we take our departure lienee, Lets all he what we are. Nobility is the sum of all the goodness of the world; it constitutes every- thing that is honorable and virt uous Tennyson says: “Better not he at all, than not he noble.” A person that is not- noble in some degree, is a great injury to the world; for if he can not do anything to help the world, he must injure it: a person cannot lie in- different; every living being has an influence of some kind upon his associates. There are few people, however, upon the earth who do not possess nobil- ity in some degree, fn the meanest, lowest character some spark of honor or nobility is almost certain to show itself. Shakespeare says. “As the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, so honor peereth in the meanest habit. Nature has framed the human mind so that it seeks after the higher things of the world, unless marred by deep sin and crime. The natural in clination of the mind is to become better. Environment has a great influence and therefore. “It is meet that noble minds keep ever with their likes; for who so linn that cannot be seducedV” Noble people should seek the com- pany of noble people, so that they may be elevated, and become more noble, and at the same time assist to raise the character of their associates.

The Acorn—Page 6 The best thin in the world is love Christ said, in answer to the Phar- isee lawyer, who asked Him which was the greatest commandment, “Thou shaltlovethe Lord, thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.’ Christ also told him that the next greatest commandment was, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” We find that this answer silenced the Pharisees and they asked no more questions; nor could they find fault with His answer; for they could see for themselves what that one commandment in- cluded. “For this is the love of God. that we keep his commandments.” Then if we love God we will keep his commandments; and in keeping his commandments we would “love our neighbor as ourselves.” So what Christ called the second greatest commandment could be included in the first. Just before His betrayal, when Christ is trying to comfort His Apostles, He tells them to love one another, and to love their Father in Heaven, and also to continue in His love; for in that mutual love they would find consolat- ion and always live up to God’s laws. Love is really the source of all goodness It was for the love of man- kind that Jesus suffered death. The result of love may also be seen in our every day lives. If a child love his parents, he will obey them; and on the other hand, if the parents love their children, they will teach them to do right, and by doing that they are teaching them to love their God. Anyone who will say an unpleasant word or do anything unkind to a friend does not love that friend, or, if a play- mate or friend deliberately introduce to another anything that is wrong, he does not love th it friend or that playmate. If we truly love one another we shall all be united in gaining salvation. We should all feel as brothers and sisters, but too often we lack that brother- ly love. Do we love that fellowman whom we would not help up and encour age after he had fallen by letting his weakness get the better of him? In- stead of shunning him and ietting him become more and more discouraged as he tries in vain to rise against the force of some who are pushing him down. Love would help him to rise by encouraging him and making him feel as though some one would like to see him again on his r pd upward. By dropping a smile, a word of encouragement to one in distress, we may make the world brighter and happier, and the more that feeling of love exists towards one another, the more beautiful will seem the things of this life. Florence Woolley. '07. CHARACTER. The Acorn—Tage 7 Nothing has so much to do with our happiness as character. On it de- pends whether or not we are to he influential and whether or not we are to be loved, and whether or not we are to excel. And in these three we find the foundation of all happiness. Character means individuality or that which one is in himself. It is not effected in the least by any outward agency, but only by voluntary trans- gressions. Some might say that different circumstances have much to do with the formation of character; but in all walks of life there are temptations which must be overcome before we can establish truthfulness. So we may say, that regardless of social conditions or financial surround- ings. the essentials of a good character may be formed. These, I claim, are honesty, morality, and love, the first named being the most important. Honesty means straightforwardness and fair dealing with everybody; it car- ries with it that respect which no other attribute in life can. Call to mind any man who is minutely honest and see if his name does not connote a favor- able impression in vour mind By morality I mean being free from vice, from the use intoxicants and tobacco, from the habit of profanity. Who is there that does not respect morality? Even the vilest of men admire purity. Love includes kindness and sympathy. It is the result of some admirable quality we see in anything. Often love can accomplish results that force cannot. Refinement is a mark of good character, but cannot be considered as an essential. It includes etiquette, pride, and a love for the beautiful. These are wanting in many men who still have good, strong characters. Of course there are exceptions to the general rule concerning good and bad charactere in men. A man, by his outward acts, may create a good im- pression upon the people; and below this, he may be harboring deception, vice, and crime. But he will surely be found out before he dies. Call to mind your feelings when you have told a lie. or done something else wrong, and again, your feelings when you are void of offence toward anybody. Such a contrast will show the difference between the mind of the deceiver and the man who is what he professes to be. A CHILD S COMPANY MANNERS. The 1 corn—Page 8 “Sit down, will you, please, and wait a minute till my mother comes!” said a little girl to two ladies who came to see her mother. “And will you give me a glassof water? Edith!” asked one of the ladies. “With pleasure,” answered Edith, and she presently came back with two glasses. “Oh. thank you,” said the other lady, “you are very thoughtful.” “I am glad io serve you,” said Edith in her gentlest tones. When Edith went out of the room one of the ladies remarked, “That little girl is one of the loveliest children 1 ever met.” “Her manners are very sweet and obliging,” replied the other. Let us go into the next room and see. Edith went back with the glasses. “Me drink! me drink!” cried Bobbie, screwing up his rosy lips. “Get out, Bob,” cried Edith, “go to Bridget for water.” “Don’t speak to your little brother that way,” said Bridget. “It is none of your business what I say,” cried Edith. “Edith” called grandma from the top of the stairs. “What?” screamed Edith. “Come up, dear.” “1 don’t want to.” She, however, dragged herself upstairs: unwilling feet find it hard to climb. “Edith,” said grandma, “will you try to find my specs? I am pretty certain J left them in the dining room.” “No, you did’nt,” cried Edith in across, contradictory tone, “you al- ways lose them up here,” and she rummaged round the chamber tumbling things over disorderly. “No matter,” said the dear old lady, seeing she would have much to do to put things to rights again, “f can find them now, and Edith went olT pouting. Oh, dear! where are Edith’s obliging manners? Why, those are her company manners. She puts them on in the parlor and puts them oil’ when she leaves it. She wears them before visitors and hangs them up when they are gone. She forgets that true politeness is worn in the kitchen as well as in the parlor. Hattie Owen. '08. the: two armies. The Acorn— ! W 9 The mentioning of this heading suggests ;i battle between large com- panies of men, each one fighting to a different end Let us make a division between them, and find what their motives are. One army marches in perfect order to the beat of the drum; and their armor and spears glisten in the sunlight. At the head of the company walks the standard bearer. On the banner of crimson we read the motto: ‘‘Our glory is to slay ” When one of their number falls in the battle, he is consid- ered a great hero, and is mourned by thousands, who erect monuments to him. and sing his praises in the cathedrals. He has lived his life, and has used his strength for the attainment of glory—his one selfish aim. Now let us cross the river and notice the opponents. We find neither showy costumes nor drums, and instead of the bright colored banner we see a white one, and on it the single line, “Our duty is to save.” What a con- trast to the first! Yet in life we see these armies closely associated. On the battlefields we see forms moving to and fro caring for the wounded and slain; in daily life we find people devoting their whole time to the betterment of the nations, and of individuals, giving up all their own pleasure for the good of others. When these earthly angels pass away at the summons of Death, there are comparitively few who mourn for them, and they have nothing but the soil and nature’s beauty to mark their graves. Yet there is One who has been watching the deeds of each, and who has been marking the falling tear of Love as well as the glorious deeds of Valor. The army of Love have used this life for the good of others, and they gain their reward in the presence of our Father ; while the army of Valor have sought for their glory in this life, and having gained their reward, have nothing to claim in the next world. Let us then remember the words of the Savior: “He that saveth his life, shall lose it. And he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.” ). W. The Acorn—Page 10 The hope that rises in the human breast. Oft helps the weary pilgrim on his way: “Man never is. but always to be blessed.” By hope his fears are vanished day by day. The farmer plants where oft the crop has failed; Hope gives to him assurances most dear, Assurances that stand though oft assailed; And thus through life he plods from year to year. The heavens may be dark and drear above, From home and friends we may be severed far, The cold world seem to have no deeds of love, Yet after all appears a brighter star. As night is darkest just before the day. So doubt increases till it gains its height; And as the morning sun sends forth a ray, So our life's star extends to us a light. It often hap’s that when a child of God Falls to the ground discouraged and forlorn. A thousand buds he crushes to the sod, Which fragrant flowers and fruits would have borne. That spark of revelation kindly given Should not by disappointments whiff grow dim: But should be fanned to meet the light of Ifea’en, And lead the spirit to its home therein. The The savage who was never taught to pray. Or look for an abode above the earth, Still has a hope that on some brighter day, 11 is spirit shall receive another birth. He sees, away beyond the clouds of gold. A happy hunting ground, from sorrow free; Where with his comrades and his sires of old. His horse and dog shall be his company. Awake, sad mortal, then, and fear no more: I'or hope alone can sweet contentment bring! Prepare to meet, your Lord. His works adore, Who soon shall come to reign on earth as King. The bliss the future has in store for thee— Were it -evealed. wouldst thou in darkness grope? And after all, what thought could sweeter be, More comfort to the soul impart than Hope? Alumni. NOBILITY. Hie Acorn— Page Nobility is that elevation of a person's soul that raises it above (loin ' anything that will degrade or lower the character. Nothing is more desirable in character than nobility. In fact it is al- most everything to be desired. xV person with a noble character is generous and interested in the welfare of his associates: he always has contempt for crime, and determination to overcome the trials of life; while a character without nobility is selfish, and cares little for the rights and feelings of oth- ers. and is always willing to sacrifice honor and integrity to satisfy appetite and low desires. Nobility of character is obtained in several different ways. Some are born with a more or less noble character. For these, it is comparatively easy to reach the high standard of nobility. Others have their character ennobled by being brought up under favorable circumstances. These, having the best examples set before them, and always being placed in good company, have a good opportunity for education. They are taught the real meaning of sin and look upon it with utter contempt Then there are others who are self made. At the beginning of life, they realize the value of nobility and set iheir mark high, and never stoop to anything beneath it. At first they have many difficulties to contend with: but soon trials and temptations are easily overcome. If the desire and determination be sufficiently strong, there is no char- acter so weak that it cannot attain to some degree of nobility.

The Acorn—Page i j For one long year we have enjoyed the labors of our Commercial teach- er. and we know that his efforts are always in our behalf; bub for all this we have troubles We often wonder why Mr. ShurtlitT talks to us, in Commercial Law, so much about marriage. It must be that he has heard some one speak on the subject. He surely can’t be old enough to know for himself. Etta blushes terribly when he mentions ••such a horrid thing.” When Charley and Eddie are conversing over a business transaction, our teacher looks at the girls and says, “Please make less noise,” at which the girls frown and suppressed giggles are heard from the boys. If you Could see the little mouse that has been our daily visitor during the year, you would'nt wonder why Hattie sits on her feet and why Esther gives an occasional scream. Whenever we come from dinner we find the Band boys have taken our chairs; so is it any wonder that the girls tie their chairs to the table legs? Then, if you had to listen to the discords three times a week you would’nt wonder why we get our balance sheets wrong, and why Eva often exclaims, • Oh, what a dunce I am!” When we want to type-write its no use the band is in one room and Mr. Shurtliff has a class in the other: but he can’t imagine why we do not hand in more lessons. Whenever the girls have a class in front of the room, Austin comes in late so that he can smile at them, and they can admire his “dainty” steps. We wonder why our banker doesn’t occupy the banks, it must be that he has a guilty conscience when behind the bars, or perhaps it brings back the past. The Commercial students must always give up their looms to the extra classes and must not s ty a word when the dance committees come hustling in with their noisy invitations. The other day our teacher was called out of the room; and upon his re- turn, what should we see but a beautiful red carnation on his coat. It was very much like the one Miss King had that morning The Acorn—Page In Commercial Geography Mr. Shurtliff asked. “Mr. Bingham, do you change your suits with the style?” “Yes sir.” came the prompt response. We notice that the style 1ms not changed for two years With all these trials and troubles, which we endure without a murmur, don’t you think our patience is perfect? Zclla Stephens. ’06. THE VOYAGE OF LIFE,. School Commencement Day is the beginning of the voyage of life. Be- fore that time every man depends more or less upon others for his guidance: but now he must learn to steer his own ship. He looks with pleasure and satisfaction at the vessel assigned to him, and examines every part to learn its strength and power of endurance; and views with pride the white spotless sails playing in the breeze. As he pushes out from shore he assures himself of a pleasant journey because the sky looks so clear, and the water so calm. A few miles out he meets a little squall, and discovering, to his sorrow, a weak point in his ship, turns back to port to have the weakness remedied, and gain more knowledge of the steering of the vessel. After this first ex perience he feels better prepared to meet the greater storms, and thinks his ship better fitted for the long, hard journey before him on the great sea of life. The sea again becomes calm, and as he sails peacefully along, he looks around on the waters and sees many white specks in the distance in all direct- ions. These he concludes to he the ships of his friends, and by these he can not help but mark his progress. In looking ahead, he sees a dark speck on the horizon, just a shadow of the coming st orm: but as he watches, and the wind increases, it seems to grow, and soon the whole skv is covered with blackness. The winds dash the waves against the ship, and it is tossed about like a ball. During this great storm of temptation and misfortune, the ship is hasteued on toward the opposite coast. He sees coining toward him, the white specks that were in the dis- tance. Their sails are torn, and the ships seem to be having a hard time to withstand the tempest; and the sailors, in despair, are letting them drift along at t he mercy of the raging sea Cries of anguish are heard as the ships part, and let their captains sink in discouragement. Now that the opposite coast is in sight, he gains courage, and puts forth all his energy to reach it in safety. Then lie sees others dashed against the rock bound coasts of dishonesty, intemperance and shame, just as they are about to win the goal. Spurred on by this terrible sight, he does all in his power to guard against their fate, and trusting in the strength of his ship and in the rules of land and sea; he enters the mouth of the harbor. Here is another difficulty to overcome. Through the dense fog of ex- treme old age he cannot see his way. and therefore must have a pilot to guide him safely to the wharf. As he steps out on to the land, he turns once more to look at his faithful ship. He sees it weather-beaten and weakened by the storms of life: hut well loaded with experience in the trials of the voyage. Let us then, heed the warnings of older sailors on this great sea. and make our ships strong enough to withstand the storms that they will have to meet. SKELETON’S STORY. There has been one feature of the Domestic Arts Social, which has not been related to the students, either for reason of the nervous attacks I have had since that night, or my timidity in posing as a writer or speaker. But even though it does reflect a little discredit on me for sleeping during such a time of jollity. I feel it my duty to explain, before school closes, what 1 learned of the life of our skeleton and the origin of our school. Growing tired of the ear-splitting sounds of the Brass Band, as they played Yankee Doodle, and of waiting for my companions who were entangled in the spider-web, being unable to go home until the spell was broken at midnight. I wandered upstairs to Room K, and took a seat in the corner near the heater—T will leave you to guess the result. The Acorn—Page 7 How long I slept J know not, but I was suddenly awakened by weird sounds of the rustling of dry bones and a voice like the moaning of the winds. I looked around, all was dark, every sound of festivity had died away. 1 listened, and the moaning shaped itself into the words: 1-Doomed! doomed! to pace these dreary halls! No rest! No rest! for my weary limbs, till some mortal give ear to my story.” As these last words fell upon my terrified soul, there appeared in the dim light of the doorway a skeleton. It moved toward me, and I screamed, but that scream echoing through the empty halls only told one that I was alone with this fearful guest. “Peace, mortal, and no harm shall come to thee, but thou must stay and hear my story, for I have long sought thee.” “Centuries ago, there lived in a great forest which covered this land, a city of giants. They were very superstitious and dared not disobey anything their wizards and witches told them to do. In the centre of the forest they built a large castle, and in this castle witchcraft had full sway. It happened, one day, that one of these giants wandered faraway from his home and learned of the schools in civilized countries. lie went home and told his people the little he knew of those schools, and they immediately decided to build one in their land. They built a grand academy, but knew nothing of Domestic Arts, Ath- letics, or manual training, but only of blackboards and desks. These giants were queer shaped people, very tall, and very thin. Some had long legs and short waists, others short legs and long waists. The seats of this school were built accordingly: a high seat and a low desk for the long-legged short- waisted one, and a low seat and high desk for the short-legged long waisted one. The children in this land, who were about the size of men now, were not allowed to write on the blackboards, for the teachers were afraid that their pupils would become brighter than they, if the samejadvantages were allowed them; and for this reason the blackboards were built high, and were convenient only for the grown giants. The witches were very displeased with this Academy, for they feared that the people might be taught witchcraft in this school and they would no longer come for information. When they heard that one of their number had consented to teach witchcraft, they all gathered together to determine what could be done. They decided to weave spells that could never be broken over the different class rooms, and interfer with the students’ learning. Tht .honi—Page iS In Room K, where the last stage of the art of witchcraft was taught they made the atmosphere one of drowsiness, so the pupils minds would be- come blank and they would forget everything they had ever learned, and be- come dull and stupid. In the Laboratory B where the charms were taught which could only be accomplished where there was no ether, they caused the Professor to have terrible nightmares, and ali the horrible creatures he saw would con- tinually warn him under pain of death, never to open the windows so the ether could escape The history of witchcraft was taught in Room M. In this class the students were injured by falls caused by those evil-plotting witches Every once and a while one of the scholars who were learning quite rapidly, would stumble over or fall from a seat and be disabled so that he could not resume his study. As morning draws nigh, T must tell the rest some other time But perhaps you are curious to know something of me and why 1 know all this. I wasoneof the wizards who taught in this school, and for doing so was locked by the others in the little room off Room B There I starved to death and years after my bones were picked up and wired together. Now you have heard part of my story, you are perhaps interested enough to be willing to listen to the rest some other time In the meantime I must go back to mv dismal closet, thereto remain forever. “Let such teach others who themselves excel.’’ Florence Woolley. ‘07. 'Ve look through our spy glasses. And faults of others view; Looking in the other end, Our own seem very few. To turn the glass around Would he the nobler plan? Magnify our own faults, Not those of a fellowman. Seek out the good in others, Find all of it you can: But if for faults you look, You may your own life scan. When you find in others A fault that you despise, Look into your own soul: Perhaps it ’s there disguised. The good we see in others Inspires a righteous life. The faults we give to others Spread seeds of care, and strife. Then let us seek the roses. From out life’s thorny bed: And bury deep the stinging prong, That shows it's threatening head. H. C. S.

'Hie Acorn—Page 2$ It was just before Commencement in KSl . The Junior class of the---- University had decided to «five a dance on the last Friday night before the Vacation. Invitations were distributed among; the pupils on the previous Friday evening at the dismissal of school: so those interested in such jollifications were inspired with pleasing thoughts on their homeward walk Fan and Daisy were not lacking in their share of inspiration. They were “aching for a time,’’ and were never tired of carrying out their tricks for a little innocent fun, as they termed it Their steps quickened and Daisy fairly danced along as Fan suggested this and other funny little things. They stood on the corner a few minutes: then parted, having decided to have something planned before Monday morning. Monday came; Fan and Daisy had been together as much as usual since we left them Friday night and were ready to put their joke to the test. They had contrived to send Irene a note asking her to accompany An- drew to the dance. Daisy was to put the note in one of Irene’s books so that she would he sure to get it during the day. The opportunity came at noon. Daisy was rather timid: but urged by Fan, she hurriedly laid it where it was sure to be found before night. Daisy’s heart beat a little faster than usual, but was soon quieted on rejoining Fan, who had been watching- all the while. They hurried out of the room, complimenting each other on their part of the play, their faces flushed a little as they met Irene just returning. Irene went to her seat little dreaming of the germ of bitterness, that perhaps lay before her. She was a very quiet unassuming girl, but possessed many good qualities that go to make up a lady. Fan and Daisy looked in vain all day for some expression on Irene’s face showing she had discovered the letter. It was not until late that night that, the note was found by Irene, short- ly before her time to retire. Imagine, if you can, her surprise on opening and reading: Miss Irene : v Please excuse my boldness, but I shall consider it the kindest favor if you will grant me the pleasure of your company to the dance Friday night. Anxiously, Andrew P.S. Please reply by mail. Could it be possible; wasn’t she dreaming? True they had been ac- quainted as schoolmates for more than a year, but there had been nothing but friendship between them. He was so much above her socially and financially. Surely the gulf was too wide between them; it couldn't be. After gazing on the dying embers in the grate for some time, she laid that uncertain message in her bible, where she had found it, closed the hook, pressed it to her breast, placed it again on the table, and retired. Fan and Daisy fancied the following day that the anxiously awaited change in Irene’s countenance had come; but could they have looked into the innermost recesses of her soul, and beheld the contending passions of faith and fear, there would have been no room in their minds for doubt. Could Fan have seen but a short distance into the future and beheld the outcome of her “innocent fun ’ she would have shuddered at the thought of trifling with one whom she unconsciously adored. She encountered him at every possible op- portunity and especially in the presence of Irene. Irene herself would have liked to speak to Andrew, but that gulf was still between them. Her courage was not sufficient to span it ami then her reply must be by mail. Why? Why did he deliver his in such a manner and request her to reply by mail? What could it mean? I f he really meant it, why didn’t he by some act. or look, or word, show it? Oh the suspense! But, “Love will find the way.” Wednesday came, and Irene had sent no answer. Her parents were too far away to be consulted in time, but she had prayed earnestly for guidance. She watched and waited anxiously during Thursday for some satisfac- tion from Andrew, but it came not. On reaching home she concluded there was some justifiable reason for his peculiar actions, so taking out his note she wrote beneath it: Mr. Andrew The Acorn—Page 27 f Many thanks. Please pardon my delay: I shall be pleased to grant your favor, if you so consider it. Irene. She sealed it up and mailed it. Friday morning came; Irene and Fan both looked eagerly for Andrew but for some cause his seat was vacant Ilis sister Ruth, however, with whom Fan was seen at intervals was there. The lessons seemed hurriedly passed over: everybody seemed to possess the spirit of the occasion and many had left school before the regular time of dismissing. Fan and Daisy left together as usual and seeing Irene cross the street ahead of them and turn in the opposite direction, they no doubt thought of what they had planned just a week before. Fan had declined offers from more than one school boy, for she was really keeping that place for Andrew, whom she hoped would ask her. Fan and Daisy did not stand on the corner that night, but agreed to accompany each other to the dance. Andrew, we said, was unable to attend school that day. Perhaps for- tunately so, for the morning mail brought him an unexpected letter. Space will not permit our entering into any detail of the emotions that seized his noble heart. Noble? Yes for “he above the rest in shape and gesture proud- ly eminent stood like a tower.” After much deliberation and after consult- ing his parents and sister he concluded that Irene’s trust and sincerity should not be wasted. ' V� The dance had been in progress some time, when Andrew and Irene, Ruth and-------, came in. Fan did not see them until they took the floor for a dance; and then, Oh the anguish that rent her breast! She then realized that she had carried her joke a little too far. It did not require much coaxing to get Daisy to go home with her. Fan would have wept but tears refused to come: but how her poor heart did bleed. ' � • .hor n—Page 3 S “Oh what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive,” came in response to svmpathethic appeals from Daisy. 1 ‘ � � ' Andrew and Irene have been married some years Andrew is a suc- cesful business man in a western city. Irene is the proud mother of three loving children Daisy has gone we know not where; but Fan is still with us, and fully realizes “The thorns which we reap are of the tree that we plant.” Why was I created? This is a question, which every thoughtful being asks himself. There are two ways in which it is answered; “to benefit my- self” and “to benefit others.” The world is divided into two classes. The members of the one are always trying to lift mankind, and in so doing elevate themselves. The mem bers of the other live for self alone, entertain the idea that they are to get all they possibly can out of this world, no matter at what cost to others. Had the Lord intended for each individual to think of self alone, He would have created us in just the opposite way. Each person would have been so constituted, that he could build himself independently, his feelings and instincts would have been different. As it is. however, we are created equal, each one is dependent upon all others and we are blessed with the de- sire of association. Jennie Marshall. THE MOST SACRED THING IN LIFE. The Feelings of Others. The shorn—Page 2Q Having been thus blessed, we owe certain duties to those with whom we come in contact. The one important duty, is the consideration of the feel- ings of others. Especially, do we owe this consideration to our associates in the home. The feelings of our mother, above all other persons on earth, should we hold sacred. The amount of love that one has for others, deter- mines to a marked degree the sensibility of one’s nature. It is impossible for us to conceive of the boundless love of a mother. In the home, where there is union, she holds the “side door key” to each heart, so our first duty is to her. If we keep constantly in mind her desires, and live as she would have us live, we should be sure of an exaltation in the Kingdom of our Lord. Selfishness is not approved bv our Maker. This was shown in the council of heaven, when Satan proposed his plan, in which he ignored the Father entirely and thought only of honor for himself. As a result his plan was rejected; while that of the Savior, which was just the opposite, as it gave all honor to God, was accepted. And Christ became the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible, through out Ilis entire life, to find one act which would point to selfishness. Although He was in a position to criticise all, yet He always Considered the feelings of others. Looking down from the cross, He saw Ilis mother weeping for the loss of her son, and the beloved desciple standing near, and Jesus commended her to the charge of the Beloved who took her to his home. The enemies sneering and jeering at him received a prayer: and even the thief beside Him was given comfort. Thus, though in the depths of agony. Jesus showed consideration for others before appealing for help for Himself. THE WIND. I blow where ere 1 listeth. No man knoweth where; I 11 utter o'er the tree tops And rest in upper air.

There were some f the branches choicer than others, and of these the master said, “Let us take extra care of these shrubs, for J prize them above all the rest. Let us make props of strong sticks that the winds may not injure t hem. These shall be our constant care: they shall be well nurtured, and the supports changed as the trees grow larger.” The servant did as the master suggested, and labored diligently among the fruit trees. After many days the master went again to the vineyard, and saw that his trees were all bearing choice fruit “I think now these trees are fully matured, and need the props no longer.” So they were taken away. A strong wind came blustering through the vineyard. The master went out to see how all had fared, and found his choicest trees lying upon the ground, while those which had been left to fight all storms were standing as emblems of strength. So it is in life. One who is leaning upon his friends and superiors as crutches, must necessarily fall when those crutches are taken away. Success does not come in school to the one who leaves his lessons for others to pre- pare; success does not come in business to him who is, like a timid babe, afraid to take one step alone; but success does come to him has withstood the small storms of misfortune, and has thereby gained strength to overcome the greater. The Acorn—Page This has been a red letter year in the history of the Academy. OUR SCHOOL. We l)a ,nore students regis- ' ' A'° tered the first week than ever be- fore, and the percentage remaining until the end of the school year is equally high. The student body has been united in, and pushed to success, everything undertaken; and all feel satisfied with the year’s work. The constant increase of students each year for sometime back, has made it necessary for more room to be supplied. Steps will be taken in this direction immediately. The girls are looking forward with pleasure to the Domestic Science I)ep’t, and the boys, to the manual training; but both will be benefited by the modern gymnasium to be fitted out. We all have a mind picture of another building in the lot south of us; and have great hopes that the Board will, during the summer, make this picture a reality. Although a few unfavorable criticisms have been given by our ex- OUR PAPE.R. change papers, many favorable com- ments have been made by a large number of our out side readers, We also notice that some of our sister papers are reading our “Acorn” for they are beginning to use some of our locals for their exchanges. We have endeavored this vear to publish a souvenir number, the first in the short life of our paper. We will leave it to our patrons to say how well we have succeeded. We trust that they will not be disappointed; but be spurr- ed on to give the students next year, even more support than they have given us. Before leaving, the Acorn staff unite in thanking the student body for the support given them, both in contributing material for their paper, and in using their influence to assist the business managers in reaching the mer- chants. Let us continue, no matter where we may be in the future, to con- tribute to the success of the ‘ Acorn.” THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT 5APTISM. Baptism is the third principle and first ordinance of the Gospel of Christ. After a person has repented of his sins, the first thing that he will want is a remission for those sins; and for this purpose the Lord lias made baptism a symbol representing his acceptance of the man’s repentance. When a person is baptized he manifests to his Heavenly Father that he is earnest in his pre- tenses. Baptism is the most fit symbol that could be chosen to represent a cleansing new birth. Baptism is for two purposes; first, it is a door into the fold of Christ: second, it is for the remission of sin. We do not believe as many of the world do, that to be baptized is all we need to do in order to gain an exaltation in the Kingdom of God; but. that baptism just admits us into the Kingdom of God; this only puts us in a position to exalt ourselves; so by doing the will of the Father, keeping his commandments, we gain a higher degree of glory. If a person is baptized without fully repenting, he brings condemnat ion upon himself. The words of Feter are very good upon this point, when he says: ‘•Repent and be baptized every one of you for the remission of your sins;” thus showing plainly that we must repent before being baptized; for it is making light of the teachings of our Savior, if we do not. Again, when John was baptizing he rebuked the people who came unto him for baptism before they had repented, lie said. ”0 generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” This shows that they they had not prepared themselves for the holy ordinance. The Acorn— Page JJ In regard to salvation we learn from the teachings of the Savior, that it is impossible for a person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless he com- plies with this ordinance. This was made plain when the devout Cornelius was told to send men to Joppa for Peter, who would tell him what he should do to he saved When Peter came down he baptized Cornelius and family. Then again, there is definiteness in the conversation between Christ and Nicodemus, when Jesus used the words, “Verily 1 say unto you. except a man is horn of the water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.” Therefore, if a person must he baptized in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven; how necessary it is for us to be baptized. Before a person should be baptized, he should he old enough to know what he is doing; and in order to do this he should he old enough to think, realize, and form opinions of his own. If this doctrine is true, what a doc- trine is infant baptism! Who could think of condemning an innocent child? Mow can a child sin? It lies in its mother's arms, helpless, cannot distinguish its parents from any one else until it is trained. Jesus, himself, used them as the types of purity, when he said, “Whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, lie shall not enter therein.” This does not mean that we are to get small as a child, but that we must he pure, innocent, and he full of charity. We can find nothing in the Bible that would substantiate in- fant baptism. There are incidents recorded where whole households have been baptized: hut since a person is baptized for remission of sin, it is reason- able to believe that there were no infants in the families. Again since we have no account of the Savior's baptizing infants, it is reasonable to believe that his Apostles would not have changed the ordinance of the Gospel in so short a time. The mode of baptism is another very important thing to he considered. The Bible teaches hut one mode of baptism. How is it. then, that there are different ways of baptizing among the different churches? From the fact, that we do not find these different ways in the teachings of our Savior and his Apostles, we must conclude that the mode of baptism has been changed by man. The Acorn — Po«t i6 The word baptize is from the Greek bap l o or baptize which means to plunge or immerse; and it seems that this is the meaning the word had in the days of our Savior; for we find that when Philip baptized the Queen's servant they both went down into the water, and afler Philip had baptized him, they came up out of the water Tins would have no significance if they did not need to go into the deep water for the purpose of immersion. John also baptized near Aenon because there was much water. If sprinkling or pouring had been the mode, why didn’t, he go to some well and there bap- tize? And why did the families that were baptized need logo out of the house? Next comes the baptism of the Savior. We are told by Matthew that Jesus came from Galilee unto John to be baptized of him. but John forbade.” John thinking himself not worthy to baptize the Son of Man. But when Jesus told him that he must he baptized in order to fulfill all righteousness. John bap- tized him. ‘‘And Jesus when he was baptized came straightway up out of the water.” How foolish it is Lo believe, as some of the world do, that Jesus was led into the edge of the water by John, who taking up a sea-shell full of water paired it upon his head, and thus baptized him. The Apostle Paul, who was an earnest worker in the Church of Christ, gives us some very strong proof in favor of immersion. He compares baptism to a burial, resurrection, ora planting. In his epistle to the Romans he says, “Know ye not. that so many of us as were baptized unto Jesus Christ were baptized unto his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism unto death: that like as Christ, was raised up from the dead by the Glory of the Father, even so we also shall walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection ” And in Colossians, he says, “Buried with him in baptism wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him from the dead.” It is for each one to study the Gospel of Christ for himself, searching out the truth wherever it can be found. The Savior tells us to “seek and we shall find.” If a person will do this, with full intent of purpose, he will find the Gospel: for the Gospel of Christ is upon the earth at the present time with all its former gifts and blessings, bringing salvation lo all who repent of their sins and keep the commandments of our Savior. GOD HATH MADE OF ONE BLOOD ALL NATIONS. 7 'be Acorn—Page _ f 7 Paul says, “He hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before ap- pointed. and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, though he be not far from any of us”. From this we infer that from God's point of view, all nations are equal; and that men, no matter where they are situated, have the privilege to seek- after God, and they may find him for he is not far from any of us. Peter also testifies to this He says, “Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons; but in every nation lie that feareth him, and work- eth righteousness, is accepted of him.” Then according to these statements all nations are equal, and to the people of different nations is accorded the same share of God’s care. And if the people of one nation have a certain blessing from God, the righteous people of other nations are all entitled to that blessing, especially if they seek after him Were it not for the testi- mony the Book of Mormon gives of these statements, we would have good cause to think that Paul and Peter must have been mistaken, or that they did not understand what they were speaking of. Scientists and archaeologists have proved conclusively that there were at least two grand civilizations on this continent in ancient times. Their civilization and customs being equal if not superior to that of the eastern world. Most people will believe the statements made by Antiquarians, that these people reached the highest stages of civilization and attained to a high moral standard; but they treat with indifference the thought that God had anything to do with them, or any interest in their welfare; yet they are wil- ling to believe in God's dealings with the people of the eastern world, as re- corded in the Bible. God sent his Son to the world to redeem mankind. He went to the people in Palestine and established his church there, taught the people, healed the sick, raised the dead, and conferred many blessings on the people. He ordained Apostles to preach the Gospel to those who had not heard his voice, so that everyone might have the privilege of hearing the Gospel and obeying it; and thereby being saved in the Kingdom of God. Gould we agree with Peter in saying that God is no respecter of persons, or that he is impartial and just to all, if. while the people of the eastern con- tinent, were continually being blessed with communications from God; and, even having ids own Son, Jesus, come down among them to give them the chance to workout their salvation and teach them such glorious principles, this land were left in total darkness, as though God had completely forgotten it and its people? ‘‘No,” we would say of course God is partial if that were the case. And can we possibly imagine God as a partial or unjust being? ‘•No,” we say again. Then since God is just to all, we can reasonably conclude that he did reveal himself from time to time, to the righteous people of this continent; and that Jesus also had a ministry to iill among them. When we admit that Jesus came to this continent, established His church here, and gave to these people all the blessings and privileges given to those of the eastern world, we strike a key note with which all the tradi- tions of the natives, chord. Archaeologists give us some of the traditions found among the natives concerning a great man wearing a long white beard and long white garments, who came to them mysteriously, taught them milder ways of living, established peace in the land, and then disappeared as mysteriously as he came, promising to return to them again at some future time. In every tribe is found this same tradition, though the man described is given different names by the different tribes, yet we always iind the same characteristics, proving it. to he the same man In an old manuscript was found the tradition that t his man. Quet .alcoatl. by name, came from the east where lie was born of a virgin, his emblem was the moving star, and that, he was crucified for the redemptii These were only traditions, but Mr. Short says that such gi spiritual characteristics, as were ascribed to this man, could created without an ideal to go by or without the original Admitting then that Christ, did come to this continent i care was over these people, is it reasonable to believe that having all the arts and sciences, and having a perfect kn ' The horn—l‘ng( -,'0 would grow up and perish without leaving a record, to witness of them and to be of use to their seed, and also to other nations who should possess their lands? Of course they would keep a record, historical as well as religious. And when these people were destroyed, is it not reasonable to believe that this record would be preserved, to come forth when God should see fit, and when a place was vacant for it in the historical and scientific as well as in the religious world? A place is indeed vacant for such a book to fill the same place on this continent as the Bible does on the eastern, and be a guide book to religion as well as to arclueology Archaeologists have surely felt the need of such a book They lament ohe fact that in trying to penetrate America’s dim past they have nothing to guide them, no book to go to. when some important ruin has been discovered, which could lead them to correct conclusions concerning it or the people who left it. When anything of importance is found in the eastern continent, the bible is at once consulted, and its position found concerning it.; as now with the cities of Babylon and Ninevah which are being unearthed. When they were found the bible was at once referred to for light on tiie subject. Some people even doubted the bible because no trace of these two cities could be found. But now archaeologists have found what they are certain are the ruins of these two great cities, and of course our faith in the bible will bo strengthened when we see that it is proved by all the arclueology of the east- ern continent. Did not God make of one blood all nations? If so. America, too should have a guide book to throw light upon the ruins of the grand civiliza- tions which existed here. And if a record come forth claiming to be such a book and to be of divine origin, it should be allowed the same privilege as is given to the bible, that of having its position proved either true or false by the religious as well as by the Archaeological evidences. And. if the ar- chaeology of the continent confirm its position, and the vacancy in the re- ligious world be filled and the book proved to be of divine origin, why should it not be read and studied as a guide book—an interpreter of Avclucological discovery? We have just such a book in the Book of Mormon. It comes forth claiming to be the record of the people who lived here in ancient times and therefore a true guide book to American Archaeology. A vigorous testa- tor to the truth that God hath made of one blood all nations. Every position and statement in it concerning1 the Archaeology is corroborated by the evi- dences and the traditions found among the natives, and if all these statements are proved true, is it not reasonable to believe that its position on the origin of these two grand civilizations is true? Mr. Short gives his conclusions bearing on this thought as follows: “The fact that civilizations having such analogies are developed in isolated quarters of the globe, separated from each other by broad seas and lofty mountains, and thus indicating a uniformity of mental operation and a unity of mental inspiration, added to the fact that the evidence is of a preponderat- ing character that the American continent received its population from the old world, leads us to the truth that God hath made of one blood all nations of men”. The Rook of Mormon came forth about sixteen or seventeen years be- fore Prescott’s works which were the first archaeological books published, so Joseph Smith could not have copied these positions from antiquarians; and in the schools of that time Dr Robertson’s views of America’s past were taught and these were opposite to those of the Book of Mormon. If the Book of Mormon be read and studied, it will be seen how utterly impossible it would be for a young uneducated boy to write such a book which years afterwards would be corroborated in every statement made by scientific discovery. The testimony it gives of the bible and the great moral and spiritual teachings of our Savior and the glorious principles of bis church in their simplest and best form prove it to be of divine origin, as it bears testimony that God is indeed just and that of one blood he made all nations and gave to all the privilege to seek and find him. DOMESTIC ARTS DEPARTMENT It is in the two rooms, the •'blue’ and the “green,” where the girls' hap- py hours are spent. There they go to put in a few stitches, and take them out again, and then rush to tell their teacher the great trouble they are having. Oh! how their eyes open when their teacher tells them they have not entirely ruined the article they are making. Then there are those who are ready to stitch up their seams, and by the time they have wasted several minutes threading their machine, and getting things ready to sew. the bell rings and they have, to pick up the work and go to Algebra. Nobody ever knew such troubles before; nobody ever saw such worried faces and discontented looks as theirs, as they leave the classroom without completing the work they had planned. But wait until the girls have an extra hour. Watch them run down stairs and send the things flying in the Domestic Art rooms. It does not take them long to do their work when they are really in earnest. The result of this earnestness is that we have a wardrobe full of beautiful work, a great deal of which was done bv hand. The two sewing rooms are made very comfortable and convenient. In the large room where the hand work is done, we have three long white tables used for drafting and cutting, and also the large wardrobe. Upon entering the other, one is reminded of a great strong wind as those nineteen machines go moaning and groaning The mirror in this room serves its purpose well, for the girls never look untidy, and their dresses always lit well. The sewers are very much interested in t heir work, and are proud of that which they have done. The first year workers have finished their mo- dels and are working hard to make themselves dresses before the close of The Acorn—Page 43 school. The dress makers are working hard at drafting, and have completed many beautiful suits; many of the girls have made their own graduating dres- ses. The teacher, Mrs. Evans, tries hard to help them all, and spends many hours planning interesting work for them. The girls, seeing this, try to help each other. The faculty, being well pleased with the efforts of the girls, and seeing the necessity of having plenty of machines so all could accomplish what they desire, has succeeded in getting a wardrobe and some new machines. To show their appreciation of this the girls gave a social, where they served refresh- ments, and had games in which all could join: and thus raised enough money to pay for at least the wardrobe. We have seen that by working for each other, we can accomplish a great deal; and we think that before many years, the Domestic Arts Depart- ment of the W. 8. A. will be the best that can be found in the state. Edith Ensign. ALPHABET OF LOVE.

It is very important that a young person should have a proper begin- ning in order to carry the responsibilities which present themselves when she launches out alone in the world There is and should be in the schools of today a tendency to look forward and picture the future so that opportunities may be brought before a student to lit her for the duties that are almost sure to come. We have an educational science for the girls, domestic arts and science. One Author has said, “Woman’s education is very imperfect unless it be largely in the line of that which best becomes her nature.” From this we conclude that she must have a knowledge of household science. Almost every girl will someday have a home of her own to care for. She ought to have a “home education” in order to assume such a responsible position. This cannot be obtained by mere practice in the kitchen; but the mind must expand, and a study be made of nature and her laws For a moment, glance into the home of a girl who has just left wealthy parents and has never been allowed in the kitchen. Her husband is not in a position to surround her with accustomed luxuries and her home is one of des- pair. She has never received instructions regarding the road she is traveling and she must learn bv the hard knocks of experience. She soon becomes de- jected and uncheerful. This discourages her husband, and the home is in- deed an unhappy one Now think how easily all could have been remedied in earlier life by just a few hours each day spent in housework. It would then have been a pleasure to exhibit her skill in her own home. At last, the truth has dawned upon the world so that schools are esta- blished for the purpose of educating girls in this line: and this instruction sometimes begins at a very early age. This seems a great step in progression. Wherever, as it is in our school, an opportunity is offered to the girls they gladly avail themselves of it This statement is verified by the large classes in sewing at every hour of the day. When this movement becomes more universal 1 think we will find more happy homes; for instead of being burdens, our duties will be pleasures. Hazel Hudman. THE PURPLE AND THE WHITE.

Before leaving, however, there are many fierce battles fought in which one tribe is always sure to gain the crown of victory. Such has been the fortune of tribe They have proved themselves superior in every respect, and so great has been their influence over other tribes that many have been led to ask: Why the rest should be so frightened? Why from these they take their flight? ? Why 'OS should stand and tremble? ? ? Why 07 should keep so quiet? ? ?? Why ’� ($ should make obeisance????? When '05 comes into sight. It is needless to say that any one of the tribes could answer: but in order that they may be spared such humiliation, and that others who have not had the opportunity the trines have may be answered. 1 will give the re- sult of a four years’ sojourn in the W S. A. kingdom. In 1001 tribe 05 invaded the kingdom after a seige of many years. They came in large numbers pioneering the way for others. Of the pioneers we have but four with us now to tell the story. King Moench anti all his rulers.sat on the throne that morning, and it is needless to say that the tribe felt in a sort of “twitterat.ion, and scarcely knew where to go or what to do. Wiley felt a little timid, William tried a man to be, Alice clung to Stella's apron, When the rulers they did see. The Acorn—Page They sood felt perfectly at home; but suddenly their peace was disturbed in April 1902 by signs of war among the tribes. They immediately prepared for battle, appointing the great and noble lliekenlooper as chieftain, who suc- ceeded in leading them to honor, after which all went into summer quarters for a rest. When they again returned, they found King McKay as chief ruler At a council held in L903 they chose as their chieftain, Charles Lyon; and imme- diately the white flag was hoisted by all the others. L iter, tribe '04 was de- sirous of showing tribe ’03 a good time for they were soon to leave. ’04’s could not and dared not do it without first compromising with ’05 who willingly consented to help, for in the spring, their warlike feelings fondly turned to thoughts of love. 1904 found ’05’s holding their own, with Orlinda Woolley as chieftain, and William Manning as helpmate. All decided to make much ado about something, while other tribes must have decided to make much ado about nothing; at least it looked that way. ’04 thought they would give a play, so they went quietly (V) about, often sitting up all night selecting plays so as to give them to 05 the next day. They finally became discouraged, and thought best to get in a crowd where they could not be harmed; so as a refuge, The ’04 s gave a grand ball. All on a Kriday night, The hall was decorated. And all was gay and bright, All day they kept it. guarded, At night reenforcements came; But two bright ’.Vs crept up there just the same! “Go back” young Lindsay shouted, “We want no poles in here. Then two to one the band began to play; Then Bel nap scared up Bartlett, And knocked the young man down; ’OS's marched up for they had won the day. The Itoni—Ptivt 4Q After this peace and quiet reigned, duriug which time 05 worked out a surprise for all. Although ’Oh’s staved on the outside and man iged to dis- turb a little, all was pronounced a glorious success. This was not all for they then gave the king, rulers, and tribe '04 a grand reception, during which time the’06’s stood out crying for cake, the’07's trying to comfort them. Soon they scampered away home, and spent the night wondering what the conse- quences of offense against '05 would be. They began to excuse themselves; and among other excuses was the following, explaining their action during the reception. “When we were babies, we sucked our thumbs, And our little white teeth grew out of our gums, Our noses were flat and our heads were bald. And we never were happy unless we squalled.’’ Although they were terribly frightened, they were in need of.money, so decided to give a ball. All day the '00 boys pleaded with timid partners to meet them at the hall, so they could bind together for mutual protection. The timid little partners thought it a very dangerous plan for ’05 boys might capture them. ' K ’s knew the result of such a thing as t hat, so after much debating and words of courage, they called for the trirls. Chieftain Wood had just breathlessly arrived at the car when his Fairy Queen gave such frantic screams that his heart turned to stone: not because he was frightened you see, but because liis partner was frightened. She frantically screamed to the carmen to get a policemen, and it was not long before many spectators assembled to determine the cause of such a disturbance. They were told that two mighty men of ’05 were seen crossing the street, and the sight of them was enough. That night, in some mysterious way, chieftain Wood obtained an unusually black face, and was heard to say “my punishment is greater than I can bear.” Several ’00’s were unable to be out for some time after this, for “cowards die many times before their deaths.” Laier the kingdom had a field day, and the tribes bravely fought for the great medal. Great were the intentions of all; but when ’05 marched into the field, the tribes hid their heads at sight of them, and faded as leaves. Doxey and many others reeled to and fro, and staggered like drunken men when they saw their fate; Belnap put them at their wit's end, and they were The corn— Jagc jo later found prostrate on the ground. ’05’s walked off with the medal while all the rulers strove to control ’06’s but all they could say was “thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting.” Thus ended the wars and contentions of 1904. All summer, chieftain Woolley kept in touch with her people, and in 1904 and 1905 all were in the kingdom again: and with Wm. Manning as chief- tain. they have made the ’06’s feel: “we are such stuff as dreams are made of, and our little lives are rounded with a sleep. The first great event this year was that of choosing a president of the kingdom. ’Ob’s went slyly about telling all of the dangers of putting a ’05 in that position; they pled night and day for other tribes to join them in order that they might put their man in: but made a failure of it. They were so troubled they began to have day dreams, and thought all were watching them and doing likewise. It was plain to all that ’05 was superior and that the squeals of ’06 were caused by the thought of the great wound they were about to receive. Poor things were left out in the cold until others took pity on them, and appointed Doxey as chairman of executive. ’Ob’s have taught all that thinking too little ami talking too much is a dangerous plan, for in that way they assisted everybody’s business but their own. They must learn In- experience, for all this resulted in an '05 man stepping in, and ’Ob’s stepping out. Besides the battles fought. ’05 has had to be the thinking power for others. They gave a reception to the basket ball boys, and to the mighty rulers, and immediately the ’Ob’s followed suit. In their endeavors to get up a tribe exercise, their minds must needs go back to the night of ’OS’s appear anec in 1904; and finding nothing better than the “play of the future” given that night, they must reproduce it, “as if their whole vocation were endless imitation.” Among other great things, the ’05’s have taught the people of the W. 8. A. kingdom that “All That Glitters Is Not Gold.” 7'be horn— Page y With these facts, 'Ob’s are suddenly aroused, and we hear them say “Lives of ’05’s all remind us, We can make our lives sublime; And departing leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time.” Then “Here’s to oursel’s, say we to oursel’s And hale ’re our hearts, and here’s to us: And thanks to oursel’s, say we to oursel’s, And muckle a good may it do us.” I).

There is nothing in this life. ’Mid the din of care and strife, That brings the heart more joy than our school-days dear; Of the many, many schools, Where Progression always rules, Weber Stake is most beloved by students here.

Chorus When life’s cares are thrust upon us, And our classmates are far from us, Then fondly will our memory Turn to happy days of school. Now the moments pass in pleasure, Rach one brings us some rich treasure! (), their value we can’t measure! These happy golden moments of our school days. Now the friendships we’ve made here Will to us be always dear, Though many weary miles we must roam apart: And the lessons we have learned Will in our minds be burned, And we’ll thank our teachers daily in our hearts, When with sorrow we're o’ercome, And we feel that we’re alone. We’ll be cheered by the bright memory of past days, And the class of 1905 Will be ever kept alive Through the gladness that it brings in troubled days. SENIOR S WILL. The Acorn Page 54 Be it remembered that we, the Class of’05 of the Weber Stake Academy of the city of Ogden in the State of Utah do make this our last will and testa- ment, in manner following, that is to say: We order and direct that all our surplus real and personal property shall be divided among our beloved teachers and fellow students, with con- venient speed. Mr. Wiley Moroni Cragun, member of said class, gives unto David Obadiah McKay, the authority to act as guardian of the Faculty, after the year of 1905, A. D. Unto Thomas Ezekial McKay, brother of said David Obadiah McKay, Delphia Ann Hetzler, and Orliuda Belinda Woolley each give thirty cents to be used in buying shoes and trousers for the members of the Athletic Associ- ation. We graciously bestow upon the Junior Class, all the old rubbers to be found in the halls, with the understanding that they be worn in reaching the height that the Seniors have gained. To Louesa Jane Critchlow we give our beloved John Erastus Bel nap. In case of default or failure to pay attentions, the said John Erastus Bel nap shall be given to one more worthy of his aftVctions. We direct that minor Daniel Raymond Shurtliff shall be given unto Mrs. Sarah Tibatha Evans for further training and development. Unto Caleb Boaz Marriott, we give to hold, to own, to travel through life with. May Matilda Lindsay and Belva Lucy Woodmansee. We devise the piano in the north west corner of study hall, to Joseph Eleazar Ilallantyne. Unto William Zaeharias Terry, we give the organ and baton, to be well taken care of, and handed down from one generation to another. It is our will that all the stray buttons in the Domestic Arts room be given to one Sophomore, 1). B. to be used as said Sophomore sees tit. The Acorn—Page We bequeath Jeunette Betsey McKay to the one most worthy to receive her-----John Gabriel Lind. Unto Wilford Methuselah McKendrick, we give the snare drum, also the remains of the spider-web where he was caught. Strings from said spi- der web must be wound into a ball for the use of Geometry classes. We solemly give unto James Wood the value of $1«K)0 in goods, namely ----Effie Sarah Reast. Estella Polly Hollands, member of said class, gives with deepest feel- ings. her old basket-ball shoes, to one Pearl Evangelina Cragun. Unto George Reuben Doxey we give a companion for life, the skel- eton. However, said George Reuben Doxey must first ask consent of Miss Skeleton’s guardian, now one Macropogones Rhosphodusa Porter. IJnto Mary Edith Ensign we give ten volumes of Prof. Achidach’s works on “IIow to be pleasant.” Unto the Freshman class the copy of “Illustrated book of Childhood.” The comb and brush in the basket-ball boys’ dressing room we lovingly bequeath to William Zaeh arias Terry. Unto the student body, we give a bar of soap and a clean towel, (note that these are not given because they are needed, but because we have a warm feeling in our hearts for the W. S. A.) Upon our class-mate, Henry Clabler Belnap we bestow. Zella Rachtel Stevens, and the house on the adjoining lot on the south furnished with the following: a table and a machine from the Domestic Arts department; a washstand that stands in the typewriting room (it is understood that they are to have the loan of the comb and brush willed to William Zacharias Terry;) the old clock from the Preparatory department; the looking glass from the commercial department, the dust rags in the library, and last, but not least, the dish-pan.

We’ll not have him here who says we’re asleep, We’re wide awake students and firm on our feet; We’re care free and joyful, we stop not for fear; We’re as glad and as happy as any this year What matter though rain comes or winds blow and howl? It takes more to move us than weather’s stern scowl. We stop not for obstacles, monstrous or small; We’ll push straight ahead through the tussel and brawl: We are not found at the end of the school; We’re equal to any in keeping the rule; We’re as quick as you, learning, whatever it be; And if you object, ask the teachers and see. For loyalty, why there’s no better in school. Don’t think so! Come with us, and who’ll Disagree with our statements when proofs you shall see! Who was it responded when loud came the call For “Acorn” subscription to effect that we all Should subscribe for our paper! Why, the Juniors; their scroll. Came out next day noon with one hundred percent roll. Who was it when the question came out for the school, “Should we have a student body and make our standing rule?” We were there among the starters; but we didn’t send a band Around to other classes with favors in our hand.

That was all the good it did them; for we prospered anyway, And we didn’t sit down baffled over who had won the day; But we sent them our vice-president, on Executive to be, And they chose him there for chairman, him a J unior! (5 e o r g e D o x e y ! Ah, they know quite well they need us when there’s trouble in the wind; Then the junior is the dearest and the nearest kind of friend. Oh, of course, they won’t admit it; but they know it just the same, And they’re willing to accept us when they need us in their game. Of the school, they termed us sluggards, just because we didn’t show All our talents, when they thought we should, you know. So last year when we were soph'mores how they tried with thrust and jeer, To lower the opinions of the others through the year; But we fooled them all in ending with a grand reception ball, Tn honor of our graduates in Toller’s Dancing Hall. Success? T rather think so: for the manager exclaimed, That we gave the finest party that had ever there been named. Well, this year the same old story came about our sleepy mass, And we perfectly surprised them when they learned the ’06 class. V him as Prof. Wiley Oragun, president of our student body in 1903. We were entertained very well that day and at noon the Domestic Science girls and boys prepared dinner for us. This department was well equipped with modern apparatus and at the head was William Manning. It seemed strange that he, a man. should teach cooking, but they said that years ago while going to school he had to do his own cooking and had liked it so well that he made it a profession, and was now teaching. I had to confess that the cake he made was the finest 1 had ever eaten. It was served hot with ice cream in the center. I knew it took a specialist to do this. Many other teach- ers were there, but as T was more interested with the class of '03, 1 will endeavor to tell you of them only. When we entered the Kindergarten room, 1 was surprised to find at the head Madam Alice Taylor Del- nap. She invited me to her home but requested that it l e in the evening, for her days were spent in school. T also found that Parley Taylor was keeping hooks and all accounts of the University. 11 is wife came in and I found her to he our classmate Esther Erickson. She had two sweet children with her. and told me that her eldest son went to the W. U. I spent a very en- joyable day at t he school. That night before retiring, my friend and I began to talk of those we had seen during the day. 1 told her I should like to see all that were in the � he introduced him as Prof. Wiley Crngun The Acorn—Page 61 the class of ’05. She said she had not seen all for some time and would he pleased to take me around. Next day as we were walking along the street, I saw a policeman. His face looked familiar and I asked who he was, and was told that it was Reuben Saunders. Instead of a pencil he carried a billy club. We had a short chat with him and he told us to go up to his home. As it was only one block away we decided to go. When we arrived there we found Mrs. Carrie An- derson Saunders rocking the baby, suffering from an attack of colic. We were soon talking of old school days She said that she and Ueu-ben often talked and laughed about how he took her before the executive committee. I noticed she still cal- led him by his old pet name Virgin Mary.” As we were going back we met Mr Saunders again, but this time lie had his son Reuben, by the collar taking him home, for he had been in a light. We next went to Prof. Cragun s place to see liis wife Delphia Hetzler Cragun. They had a beautiful home and Mrs. Cragun greeted us warmly. They had ten children in the family, but only three were home, the other seven being in school. She said they kept her busy mending clothes. She accompanied us to Prof. Manning’s place which was near by. When we came to the gate we asked a little fat, white headed boy if this was where Prof. Manning lived. He said, ‘‘Yes here’s where my gran’ma lives She’s washing, and told me to tell everybody what coined that she ain’t home, hut seeing it is you. aunt Delie, I s’pose you can come in.” Little Willie was determined that we should go around to the back “it was Reuben Saunders. ' The Acorn—Pagr Had entertained our teachers in a royal pleasing way, To their great satisfaction, as they told us that same day. Then we gave another party to ’06 and Basket Bail, And we spent a happy evening of enjoyment all in all. Yes, we gave another party in the dancing line as well, And all who went enjoyed it there immensely, so they tell. And these few things we’ve given, with the others we shall give We hope will be remembered by us all while yet we live. We care not for other prattles that, we hear from day to day, Concerning us, our actions toward the school, and of the way In which we fail to please them; if we do what we think right, And see that we are free from accusations when they light. We can say, ‘‘we’ve wronged no student, neither class intentionally; In all our undertakings, we’ve tried all true to be.” We give this not in boasting neither in self conscious- ness. For we hold that all are equal—ah. we trust that none are less. With good will to all around now we remain, till life is past, The class of nineteen hundred six still loyal to the last. Sarah M. Williams. TWENTY YEARS HENCE. The Acorn Page f ? Tt. was a beautiful morning when I started out for the World’s Kair, at Ogden, the 25th anniversary of the Lucin Cut oft The flying machine and my servant Half were ready. I seated myself in the machine and it started upward. How lovely it seemed as we went up through the cool breeze. Mow beautiful looked the scenery below, as on we Hew. like a bird, over valley and mountain. As evening approached we neared the city. Mow large it looked! My friend lived on the outskirts, so 1 thought I would find her place first. She had written and described her home, so I had little difficulty in finding it. Half lowered the machine; but before we reached the ground she was there to meet us. Upon my invitation she decided to take a ride with me over the city, ami soon we were going upward again. As we traveled over the city, I noticed the many improvements. No telegraph poles were standing in the road, as the wireless system was used throughout. Then 1 noticed some large buildings upon the hill, and asked, “what buildings are those extending into the air so high ?” She answered, “why those are the buildings of the Weber University. Don't you remember the Weber Stake Academy? This is what it has grown to.” I answered. “I shall never forget that school, but where is the old building now?” She said that shortly after I left school they sold it and moved upon the hill where they could have plenty of room for all the manual training and university work. I told her I should be pleased to visit the school while in Ogden, so we decided to make the visit on the following day. After a pleasaut ride we returned home. The next day we made our visit to the University. We climbed the stone steps and were soon in a large hallway. Everything was beautiful and the ap- pearance cleanly. The marble floors and the brocaded ceilings were a little different from the old ones in the W. S. A. Then J saw a tall stately gentleman coming towards us. Me greeted my friend, and to my surprise, she introduced door. There we saw Mrs. Orla Woolley Man ning with her arms in the tub rubbing with the same zeal that char- acterized her as editor of the “Acorn.” She looked up surprised, but pleased to see us. She told us that as her electric machine was out of repair, and Will- iam had to have clean clothes, she determined to do it herself. She let her washing go, however, to have a chat with us. Next day down town 1 met Mrs Blanche Greemvell Jones. I had a good talk with her. but her husband Dr. Jones v as very busy: so I could not get to see him. On my way home, seeing an edition of the “Ogden Times” E r- Charles Jones was and knowing Walter Emmett was editor, I bought very busy. one. Looking down the columns I saw the head lines that ran as follows: “Fell Twenty Stories. Several Bones Broken, cured in five hours.” Walter Wiison had fallen 20 stories but luckily he had only broken a few bones. Dr. Charles Jones, with his new medical discovery, assisted by the use of the compressed air and radium, was able to set all the bones so that he was well and could walk in 5 hours. Underneath ran the following: ‘There we saw Mrs. Orla Woolley Manning. Dr. Jones’ Nervine.

After trying Dr. Jones Hair Vigor as directed, my hair grew to be 7 feet long. Yours truly, Miss Sarah Melvina Williams We visited Prof. ('has. Lyon's place, and found Mrs. May Higginbotham Lyon patching a pair of trousers. She said that Charles was very busy writing on “The Basic Principles of Fundamental Logic.” It was his life’s work, and he was so incessantly at it that it kept her busy mending trousers. At Prof. Glen Tompson’s place we stayed but a little while for he was just pre- paring to go bn a geology trip with some tourists. This was his specialty and he had written many text books on it. His wife Mrs. Marion Bel nap Thompson was very busy tak- ing care of all literary work that came to the fair as she was at the head of thatdepartmenfc. Though very busy she did not neglect the little Kindergarten of her own. It was four o'clock when we left Tomp- son’s, so we decided to call on Mrs. Alice Bel- nap. We were going to ring the bell, but the door was opened and a little girl, just the image of Alice, told us to come in. She led Chnrlc� «t worK even while the patching is going on.

She sat down and talked to us while he went about washing dishes, etc. On our way home we met Hattie Lambert and her husband Roy Cordon. She said that she had moved to Ogden, for Salt Lake was so far behind the times. Mr. Cordon was a Photographer and was taking pictures at the fair. We were told that Edward Bingham and his wife, Vesta Shaw Bingham, had made a fortune at selling hand electric fans. They were of his own in- vention. There were only a few people at the fair who did not have one of these fans. They were small and easily carried about, and the electricity from the human hand operated them. I was informed that Mr. Henry Beluap had been iu politics a great 1'ht Acorn—Page 6j «leal He rail for Governor of Utah, but failed, and then decided that the hum of the city was too much for him. He and his wife Mrs. Eva Iletzler Bel nap moved into the country to enjoy a quiet life. They both decided it was far better, and he found he had all he could do to govern his own household. We visited the W. S. Hospital and found Mrs. Gftie Ballantyne Anderson matron of it. She told us that she had been a little too independent to ask for her needs, and her husband was too economical, so they agreed to disagree, and she was making a good living at the hospital, and seemed t, be perfectly happy. Mr. Joe Anderson was keeping books for H. C. White and Sons at Roy, and was doing well. While in town one day I was attacked with a severe toothache. I went to the nearest Dentist Parlor, and whom should 1 find but Dr. Riley Brown and his wife, Mrs. Etta Halverson Brown assisting him. Through his tact and skill he re- moved my tooth and replaced it by a new one in less than half an hour, and I felt no pain. One evening I picked up the paper and saw the following: Henry on the form. “A man wanted.

How she had changed! She looked so pale and thin and sad. Soon she began to tell me of her love affair. She had been en- gaged to Austin Win tie for 15 years and then he refused to marry her. She sued him f r breach of promise, and had nearly won the case, but poor Austin begged so inno- cently to get off. that on account of her great love for him, she let him go. Now she was in Congress fighting for woman’s rights. I asked her who she thought 1 was at first. She answered, “Oh, I thought _ it was an answer to the advertisement I private cab driver,” (not a husband, but a cab “I found it to be the number of Miss Estella Hollands. had put in the paper for driver.)

The Acorn Twelve in a row they sit, jolly and sober; Some scarcely try to smile, some laugh all over; Some are tall and some are short, Some are thin and some are not. On one thought their minds incline. And they make � goodly line, Our Faculty. Twelve around the table sit down in the office, Thinking hard and working fast, straightening conflicts for us. Frowning, staring, knitting brows, Scratching heads and making mouths Clasping hands and pulling hair: Bound to overcome despair. Our Faculty. Twelve in a row they lie, peaceful and silent: Free from their wordly cares and all schoolday clients; Sleeping in a sweet dee]) sleep; Waiting for the judgment’s peep; Then to hear immortal fame Wind in glory ’round each name, Our Faculty.

This morning about 3:30. as William Manning was going home, after spending an evening with Marion, lie was accosted by three desperate burlics, who commanded him to throw up his hands. William’s heart had been in a flutter all evening; but this was more than he could stand. After deliberating for a second or two. he decided to obey the injunction of his new friends. So reluctantly drawing his hands from his coat pockets, where one was holding a photograph and the other a lock of hair, lie extended them high above his head. One of the desperadoes then approached him from behind and calmly went through his pockets. I'en cents and a door key were all there was to In; found. William was then released, and immediately ran down the street, clinging on to the precious relics. At the first telephone station he tuslicd in and informed his intended of the terrible experience. He then went to his bachelor W. S. A. Friday Feb. lO, 1906. apartments, but was here confronted by another difficulty. The bandit� had taken his key. Me then went to the room of his friends, and after briefly relating the events, asked to be taken in for the night. Just who the hold ups were remained a a mystery, until late in the day when one of his friends presented him with hi key 3tid ten cents. It is to he hoped that hereafter William will keep better hours. —m—- COME AND SEE Our first-class up-to-date Dressing Parlor, no. 37, S. E. cor. of Study Hall. Tel. 2 K. Messrs.

The Acorn— ■ Taze 72 The teacher by business has been called away, So in comes a Senior to teach us today. All pulled up with pride, she looks over the lesson, Then she begins to ask us the question: “Please give me a sentence, the best of your choice, Using the verb ‘be’ in the active voice.” “If you please,” said a Freshie, “that cannot be done,” “it says so on this paper, so please think of one.” “The incorrect sentence on page seventy-eight Should read, “Pm afraid that 1 (will) be late. ” Though the students explained it contained no volition. The wise learned Senior still held her position. When the Senior in English thus failed with a sigh. A Junior was a ked to teach in “X Y.” So the Junior came in with smiles on his face, Proud as a peacock and stepped into place The lirst problem given brought down his brow; “It’s been so long since I worked these, T hardly know how Wait and see what Bro.

The Athletic Department of the School has had the most successful season in the history of the Institution. Under the management of Prof. Thomas McKay, the Association has paid the old debt, which amounted to$86.80, incurred in previous years, and has provided new suits for the boys. A handsome sweater was also presented to each member of the team for the credit they have gained for the Academy. The basket-ball team of this year was the strongest ever produced by the school, and won five out of eight games played in the Inter-State Collegiate Basket-ball League. A strong base ball team has also been or gani' ed. In the games preliminary to the game for the State Collegiate championship, our team has been undefeated. The first game was played in Plain City and resulted in a score of 15 to 4. The Mound Fort hoys were next, being defeated with a score of 14 to 11. On May 6, the track meet between the L. I) S. P. of Salt Lake and the B. Y. C. of L � gan took place in Ogden Although no records were made, owing, perhaps, to the poor condition of the track, it was very interesting. After the track me -t, a base ball game was played between the L D. S. team and our hoys. Although a great many errors were made on each side, the game was exciting from start to finish. Our team became rather excited The Acarn—Paze 77 in the fifth and sixth innings, allowing the visitors five runs in the former and two in the latter. In the eighth innings, they made one run, making a total of eight runs. Our boys found it easier work than the visitors to solve the curves of the pitcher. They hit hard and made eleven runs About one hundred thirty-five students and their friends went to Salt Lake City, May 20th, to be in attendance at the State Track Meet, and inci- dentally to cheer for the W. S A. boys in their game of base ball with the U. of U. The ball game resulted in a score of 12 to 4 in favor of the Ogden nine. The Track Meet was one of the best ever held in the West and will do much toward establishing ideals for the work of our team to be organized next year. The State Institution deserves great credit for the masterly way in which the entire affair was conducted. The Weber Stake Academy extends sincere thanks to the IT. of U., and % O especially to Prof. Cummings, for the courteous treatment received on that day. From the time of arrival at the R. G W. station until the presentation of the Cup to the successful team, everything was done that could he done for the pleasure of the Ogden students. Teacher Why could not the North and South have settled their dif ferenees without a war? Pupil -Because at certain times of the year some of the Northeners were left out in the cold, and at other times the Southerners became hot. Teacher—What of the Americans and the British in the Revolution? Pupil There was a much greater difference between the king and the colonist. Teacher—What was if?
