Dfvj o o;mkay £VA FARR ' ( • LIND .-• 'SV’LV£5TE O.BRADF0f!D HE Norrises were well-to-do before Mr. Norris became sick. After this, his bus- iness was left to uninterested persons so much that after his death all the property, even to the home, had to be sold to pay his debts and the expenses of the long-sick- ness. Tim, the only child, was then very young and could do nothing to help earn a living. Ilis mother’s health had been broken down owing to the close attention she had to give her husband during the last two years he lived, but upon her rested the responsibility of gaining a living. She rented a small house and began to take in sewing. Upon her scanty earnings she and her son lived. As soon as Tim was strong enough to do anything, he did what he could to help; but as the settlement in which he lived had a population of only about one thousand, composed mostly of ranchers and stock raisers, work for a young boy was not plentiful. They managed to get along someway, however, until Tim was fourteen years of age. It was then that he got his first steady job. The man who employed him was John Lennox, a wealthy rancher and stock owner. He was a business man in every sense. His much dealing with people had given him the impression that very few do exactly the “square thing,” conse- quently, he was very particular whom he trusted. He put Tim to work doing odd jobs around his home. He did the work so well, and was always so pleasant that Mr. Len- nox took a liking to him. He had several long talks with Tim regarding his plans tor the future, and from them he found that Tim’s ambition was to make his mother happy. He meant to accomplish this, first by bettering their financial conditions, and next by making something out of himself, so that she might feel repaid for the trials and sorrows she had endured in rearing him. In order to do this he thought the best thing to do would [1 tEfje Shorn of tfje Wcbzv ££ tafee cabemp be to get an education. This unselfish motive of the boy struck Mr. Lennox rather forcibly, so he decided to help Tim carry out his plans. It was early in August when Mr. Lenox made the proposi- tion to Tim that if Tim would work for him during the summer vacation and what time he could spare while in school, he would send Tim to school, and during that time would see that his mother wanted for nothing. Of course, Tim accepted gladly, and could hardly wait to get home to tell his mother. When she heard it she was so thankful that she was unable to say anything. But before she went to bed that night she knelt to thank God for His goodness to them. Just about a month from that day Seth Lennox, Mr. Lennox’s only child, left for the city to attend college. As he was leav- ing, Mr. Lennox was called away on business and shortly after- ward his wife called upon a friend, leaving Tim at the place alone. Seth had not gone far when he remembered he had taken no money with him. He had no time to lose as it was then almost train time. He ran back home, rushed into the house, but found no one there. To his joy, however, he found his father’s desk open and in one of the drawers a ten dollar bill. This was enough to take him to his destination, so he left the house without any body’s seeing him and ran to the station. When Mr. Lennox returned his eyes fell upon his open desk. He had never left it open before; so naturally, the first thing he did was to see if it was as he had left it. He found the drawer open where the money had been and the money gone. His wife knew nothing about it, so he next went to Tim, who was work- ing in the front yard. “Has anyone been here since I left?” asked Mr. Lennox. “Not that I know of,” answered Tim, “and I’ve been here in front most of the time, so that I could see if any body came.” “Have you been in the house while my wife and I have been away?” again Mr. Lennox questioned. 2] Wbe Alcorn of tlje ©Heber £btabe gcabemp “Yes, sir. I have been in the house several times for things I needed,” was the reply. “Did you see my desk open while you were in?” he con- tinued to ask. “I did not notice, I had no reason to. Why do you ask, Mr. Lennox?” “To be plain, did you or did you not, take a ten dollar bank note from a drawer in my desk?” “I can say most emphatically that I did not,” said the boy almost bewildered at the question. “And yet you say no one has been here?” “Not that I know of, and I can say just as truthfully that I did not take the money,” said Tim, and he broke down and cried bitterly. At this Mr. Lennox softened a little and told Tim he would take part of the blame himself for leaving the desk open, as he knew money was a great temptation to boys, and that if Tim would admit taking the money and give it back, there would be nothing done about it. But as Tim’s denial became stronger, Mr. Lennox said, “Well, if that is all I am to get for what I am doing for you, you may go, and the sooner the better.” Thus all the hopes Tim had been building for the past month were shattered. This was the first time he had ever been accused of doing anything wrong and it made him feel most miserable. His mother did not believe that he was guilty for a minute, and she and Tim tried to think of a way to prove his innocence, but the circimstances were so against him that it seemed impossible. All he could say was, “it does not appear so, but I am inno- cent.” Though falsely accused, he knew he was right, and this consciousness gave him strength. Tim determined to go away to work until it was found out that he was not guilty, so he would not have to hear the jeers of his companions, or meet the suspicious glances of the town people. He could earn enough, he thought, from then until Christmas holidays to take him to school the rest of the year, and by that time he hoped his innocence would be found out. [3 Cf)t Scorn of tfje ©Htbrr jfetafec Scabcmp The city seemed the only place to go, but a friend to the family offered to take Tim to his sheep-camp. He said Tim could not do much at that time of the year, but he would pay him all he could afford. Tim accepted the offer and spent four of the most dreary months he ever had in his life. At last the time for the long looked for home trip came. It was the day before Christmas. As Tim boarded the train at a near by station, the men whom he was with, who were headed for the “smoker,” called to him, “Come on kid, don’t go in there with civilized folks, lookin’ as you do.” He took no notice of them, but started into the other car. He turned, however, before he got inside the door. Seth Lennox was on the front seat, and he did not want Seth to see him in his sheep-herder clothes, so he decided to go with the men. When the train stopped at Tim’s home town, he was the last one off. He wanted to be sure not to meet Seth; but as he was leaving the train he ran into Seth, before he knew it. Seth hailed him, and asked him where he had been and all about himself, but Tim evaded his questions as much as possible and in the hurry, Seth found out nothing about what had happened. There was a happy meeting that night when Tim reached home. He never had been away from his mother before, and the life on the desert had been so different from what he was used to that he appreciated her and home more now than ever before. And he also became more firm in his resolve that at some time he would make her happy. After Seth left Tim that night, he began to wonder where Tim had been. His father might have sent him out on one of his ranches, but there was none in that direction which he knew of. And then Tim’s appearance showed that he had not been in civilization for some time. He could find out about it as soon as he got home. Nothing was said about it, however, until at the breakfast table next morning, when Seth asked about Tim. Mr. Lennox disliked to speak of the matter, so he merely said he had found 4] e Alcorn of tfje ?GHcl)cr :$£ tafee gcafcemp Tim was not what he thought him to be, and had let him go. Seth insisted upon knowing the particulars, and when he learned what it was all over he simply said. “And it is all my fault.” “What!” said Mr. Lennox. “Why, I took the money. I ought to have said something about it, of course I had, but I thought you would know.” Mr. Lennox’s head dropped as he said: “How easy it is to misjudge another!” Then they were both glad and sad. Glad because Tim had not taken the money; sad because they had caused Tim and his mother so much trouble. It was decided, though, at that break- fast table to make it right with them. That afternoon Tim and his mother were at their humble home enjoying each other’s company and the nicest things Mrs. Norris could afford for Christmas, when a knock came at the door. Mrs. Norris answered it, and to her surprise found Seth Lennox there. She could not imagine what he wanted and was almost dumbfounded when he said he had come to take Tim and her to his home if they would go. She could not think what was wanted of them the Lennox home, but as Seth in- sisted, she made preparations to go. That evening there was a great reconcilation between the two families. Mr. Lennox expressed his regret for having ac- cused Tim of taking the money, but he had learned to be sus- picious of people and from the circumstances it looked as though no one else could have done it. To right the wrong he had done, and to reward the first person, as he said, he had ever known not to gain by being dishonest when he had a good chance, he asked Tim and his mother to come and live with him, and said he would see that Tim had the education he had so longed for. Tim was a happy boy that night, not so much because of himself as for the favorable prospects of making his mother happy. [5 W t J3corn of tljc Mlcber ibtafee Scabcmp r tEfjeologp After man had been placed on earth, the life which had been arranged for him was begun. We all know that the first step was a change from immortality to mortality. Before this time Adam was a spiritual being working in the light and presence of God, with an understanding of where he came from, and of what he was on earth for. With the change to mortality, he was cast out from the presence of God with a life of work and toil before him. His whole attention was turned to worldly things and this would have continued, soon bringing him down to a level not much higher than the beasts, had not God merci- fully revealed his mind to him and told him what to do. Here is the first time we find the Gospel given to man. All its truths, principles, and ordinances are given to Adam who accepts them. In Genesis, it mentions his baptism, proving that to be one of the ordinances. Later we find Abraham, Moses, Noah, Elijah, and other of the ancient prophets and patriarchs with the same identical gospel. When Christ came in the Mercdian of Time, he ordained apostles, patriarchs, pastors, teachers, priests, and deacons, fulfilling and completing the gospel taught before His coming to earth. What is this gospel, and what does it embrace? It is a gospel of good tidings which teaches us of all truth, of future life with its glories and blessings, and of the ways by which we will be able to obtain future salvation and exaltation. Before accepting the gospel we have to accept some of its fundamental principles, among which are Faith, Repentance, Baptism and Confirmation. It is reasonable to see that it is first necessary to have faith in order to accept the gospel, for after having received faith in it, our next desire is to repent of the past, if it has been spent in any wrong doing. Belief alone in the gospel and its promises would not be sufficient to prompt repentance. Faith alone im- plies such confidence and conviction that we arc impelled to act. Neither is faith complete without work, for God has said, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the king- 61 tCfje Scorn of tfjc ?E2Uber j take Scabcmp dom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven. ’ ’ This does away with death-bed confession. Besides, he has also said that there are still other requirements made before a man can enter the kingdom of heaven, (John 3:5;). In order for man truly to repent, he must first be convinced of the wrong, then have faith that he may overcome the wrong and that in so doing he will be saved, a recompense worth all the effort exerted. When faith and repentance have been manifested, the next step is baptism. Baptism is in itself a beautiful and suggestive symbol. After we have thrown off a life of sin, what could be more appropriate as an initiation into the new life of purity, than a death, burial and resurrection? or what could be more appropriate than to be cleansed by one of the two greatest pur- ifiers—water? Baptism by immersion is the mode intended by Jesus. When Nicodemus asked Jesus how to gain eternal life he was told that only by being born again could he in any way enter the kingdom of heaven. We also see Jesus Christ himself setting the example in this by letting John the Baptist take him down into the water and baptize him, when as John said, he had more need to be baptized of Jesus. (Matt. 3:14-15-16). For this reason we should accept baptism as an example set by Jesus and as something essential to salvation. We should also accept the manner of baptism which He accepted and taught to His disciples. Literally speaking, baptism does not wash away our sins or cleanse our bodies of evil. The importance of the ceremony is in the covenants made at this time, and if the covenants are sincere, baptism will be the immediate result. Many different ways of baptizing are practised today. Some churches believe in sprinkling. In scripture (Rom. 6:3-4-5; John 3:23; Col. 2:12): we hear it spoken of as a new life, sug- gestinga re-entrance; then “John was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there.” Is much water required for sprinkling? Then the word baptism itself suggests the meaning—immersion. In sprinkling, the double significance and all that it stands [7 HCf)e Alcorn of tfje (L leber intake gfcahemp for is lost, but greatest of all there is no compliance to command. Infant baptism is not essential. Jesus atoned for the sins of the world, but each man is to atone for his own individual sins. What infant has sins for which it is necessary to atone? and how could a just God send an unbaptized babe straight to hell? This is unreasonable. Did not Jesus himself say, when holding up a babe in front of the multitude, “Unless ye become as one of these ye cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.” To him little children stood for the greatest humility and purity. In only a few instances has the Holy Ghost ever descended upon man without having previously been baptized. In these instances it was to convince the skeptical apostles that the gospel was not only for the Jews, but also for the hated Gen- tiles. Cornelius and his household were Gentiles who had ac- cepted the gospel and were ready for baptism. Peter was com- manded by God to go and preach unto them, and while preach- ing, the Holy Ghost fell upon all present. Afterward, Peter baptized them. It took these instances to convince the apostles that the gospel was for all mankind. A portion of the spirit of the Lord is given every man as soon as he is born, but the spirit of the Holy Ghost is given only through confirmation. Then its influence is not immediately felt and in some cases, never. This would not be the case if those upon whom it was bestowed, lived worthily of receiving it, for with the confirm- ation their bodies are set apart as fit tabernacles for the spirit to dwell in. Baptism for the dead is one of the grandest principles of the gospel. If it were not for this provision, what would be- come of all those who have died without having the opportunity of accepting it? Granting, as most churches do, that baptism is necessary before entering any church, is it not just as necessary that the dead who receive the gospel be baptized? Just as nec- essary. But why is the baptism carried on as a vicarious work, why not let those who accept it in heaven be baptized in heaven? Because it is an earthly ordinance which God has authorized 1-Iis servants on earth to perform, with a promise that whatso- 8] tClje gcorn of tije Wtbtv italic gtabemp ever they bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever they loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. He recognizes this priesthood and honors it. There are certain relations between God and man as we here see. There are certain rights which He has over man and some of these, man can demand from God if he but put himself in a condition to receive them. God himself has said that surely He will do nothing but what He will reveal His mind to His ser- vants, the prophets. He did this in ancient times when the people needed his word no more than we do today, so why is it not just as reasonable to believe that He does reveal it today? Religion after all is nothing more than God’s will made known unto man and to the extent that we think, speak and act in conformity with His will, are we religious. —Belva Woodmansee, ’07.

And sought from this fountain, the boy’s soul to fill. When he spoke, there were tears in his eyes of blue. And his white head was bowed on a throbbing breast. There’s no easy way for them or for you: Only in Christ will you find true rest. But there's one truth I value above them all; It has been my light and ’twill guide you through; ’Twill help when success comes, 'twill help when you fall. ’Tis this: To thine innermost self be true.” Slowly and sadly the boy turned away.

M Cfje Scorn of tfje 2ftleber £ tabe Scabemp tnti Sftsf We cannot tell what effect the little things we do every day will have upon those with wnom we come in contact. This truth was impressed very forcibly upon my mind many years ago when I heard one of the old men of our town relate the following incident: “In the summer of fifty seven, while making one of my trips between Salt Lake City and Carson City, Nevada, I happened to meet an old Indian and his four grown sons at a place called Resting Springs in the Great American Desert. They had evidently come to the springs for a supply of water, as near by stood their horses loaded with two five gallon barrels each. The old Indian and his boys seemed inclined to be friends with us and so we treated them as kind as we could. During the short stay of the Indians, (for they soon left after we got there) I gave the old Indian a plug of tobacco, for which he seemed to be very grateful.” “About three months later I had to make this trip again, but some way, unaccountable to me, I got off the road, or rather the trail which is indicated on the government map as the best and safest route to California. I wandered about for three whole days. Just after sundown on the third day I rounded the point of a mountain, along which I had been traveling since morning. Right there, beside a little spring, I happened to meet the same old Indian and his four grown sons whom I had met on my former trip. When the Indian saw me, he ran up to me and asked as well as he could, how in the world I had ever reached that spot, for he said that his whole tribe had lately gone on the war path and a strict look out was kept for any white men who might pass.” “I then told him that I was lost, and had been for the past three days. As I noticed that these five Indians were alone in their sequestered dwelling, I asked where the other members of the tribe were. I was told that they were about 10 miles south of there in a very narrow gorge, called Cedar Canyon, [13 Sfje iUcorn of tfje fllleber fetafee cabemp through which the government trail passed, lying in wait to kill any whites who should pass that way. I was surprised, as well as thoroughly frightened to learn this. I asked why he and his sons were not with their tribesmen. The old Indian hunted around in his bundle of rags for a few minutes and then brought out a small piece of tobacco; the last of the plug that had been given him three months before. He held the piece of tobacco out in his hand and said that as long as that lasted, he could never help kill the whites, one of whom had given it to him.” “After this friendly explanation they asked me to camp with them that night, which I did. The next morning the old Indian and his four sons acted as guides and guards to show me my way and protect me from attack. By noon that day they told me I was within ten miles of the government road and that by riding straight ahead I would be sure to find it, which I did, and three more days of travel saw me safely in Carson.” How many of us, as we travel along life’s desert road, do little acts of kindness that, in after years, may serve as an ex- cuse for some one to do us a kindness ten thousand times more valuable than the act we did for them. —Briant Jacobs, ’07. Stuftinfttoe tonsf of tfjc Cfjtlb Certain activities, peculiar to children, have been carefully observed by psychologists and classed as instinctive. One of the most important manifestations of this instinctive action is the curiosity that all children show. This instinct is generally annoying to order-loving adults, as it sometimes becomes de- structive. We are much put out when Johnny takes his watch to pieces, or smashes his sister’s doll. But to him, it is almost a necessity to find out the cause of the ticking of the watch or the rolling of those glassy eyes. This tendency was formerly regarded as an expression of his evil nature, which was gradu- ally outgrown as he came to manhood. But we are beginning 14] tEIje gcorn of tfje ®Hcber g tafee cabcmp to think that it is a heaven born instinct, which, by giving him experience and knowledge, aids his development. In other words, he sees an effect, and in searching for a cause, gains the power to think. It is the duty of guardians to direct this inquisitive dispo- sition to investigation of proper things, and along proper channels. We must say to Johnnie not only “Don’t take your new watch to pieces,” but also, “You may help me clean the machine, or the bicycle.” Another important instinct in children is the desire to im- part any newly acquired knowledge to others. The little child who first sees a rainbow, runs straightway to tell someone of his wonderful discovery. Children are continually bringing sticks, leaves, and pebbles to be admired by mother. This tendency is never outgrown, and to it, we owe all our recorded knowledge. The poet who discovers a beautiful thought is eager to give it to the world; the painter who imagines a lovely picture eagerly gives it to his fellows. This desire to tell what we know is often abused by gossiping. When children come to us with their tales of wonders found, we ought to encourage them by giving interest, attention, and appreciation. Most children love the beautiful, and seem to be attracted by bright colors and by flowers and pretty clothes. We must be careful not to repress this tendency too much, but by guiding it wisely, lead to appreciation for less obviously attractive things. The instinct of activity has many forms of expression. A normal child finds profit and pleasure in restlessness, lovely games, shouting, running, throwing balls, etc. Physical growth, and general development result. A longing for wild, barbaric, monotonous noises also char- acterizes the child, and if allowed and indulged, will pass into love for harmonious sounds. The child instinctively seeks the association of other children. He will play games with others and will thus exercise his ima- ginative, imitative and dramatic powers. He will organize with others—form a union as it were—and share gains and [15 Cfje Alcorn of tlje (KLlcbcr j takc gcabemp losses. Every child’s game contains the germs of future growth, and it is not safe for us to interfere without careful thought. Thus we see that these instincts are given by God, and are necessary for the child’s perfect development. —Minnie M. Brown. domestic rts The classes in the Domestic Arts are the largest known in the history of the department. The girls arc beginning to realize the importance and necessity of the Domestic Arts de- partment. There are seventy-three girls registered for first year saving. The models on hand sewing which must be completed before machine sewing is begun, have all been completed and the ward- robe is being filled with well-made garments. The second year class, thirty in number, are doing very good work. With the models the girls are able to draft their own patterns. On account of the large classes, it has been impossible for Mrs. Evans to give the lectures, but very important suggestions have been given from the blackboard. Many more girls are registered fn the Art Needle work class this year than last. A great variety of work has been done, colored embroidery, point lace, French laid, eyelet embroidery, mant melleck, drawn work, etc. Although the class has worked under great difficulties, having no special hours, their work has been very good. It is hoped that next year these difficulties will be overcome, and that the new building will make possible a special room for this class. Although Mrs. Evans has had one hundred eighteen pupils, she has worked very successfully for the welfare of her girls. We hope that next year the most essential part of our insti- 16] ZEfje gcorn of rfjc 2£leber tafee Stabcmp tion may have even a more successful class. The Domestic Art and Domestic Science work will go hand in hand. With more room, and an assistant teacher to help Mrs. Evans, we look forward to an ideal Domestic Department. —Anna Barker. Domestic Science The object of the Domestic Art and Science is to train and broaden the minds of women and to enable them to meet more intelligently the home demands of modem life. When a young woman has learned to apply the principles of science to the problems of daily living, she will realize that housekeeping is an occupation worthy of the best efforts of the brightest minds. Formerly the higher education of woman led her away from the practical interest of the home—not so today. Her interests are increasing in home development, and with the stand Utah has taken, our young women will soon lead those who com- menced this career several years ago. This year, owing to the crowded condition of the school, little has been done in Domestic Science. Two classes, how- ever were organized, in which much interest was manifested and good work done. To the advanced girls, a chafing dish course was given. They were taught how to make clear and cream soups, bullion, many appetizing preparations of eggs, different methods of cooking oysters, desserts and candies. At the end of the course, the girls served a chafing dish luncheon to eight of their friends. The class in household science has been studying foods, as to their sources, the process of manufacture, the conditions in which they are found in market, and the methods of preparation adapted to each. Sanitary conditions of the kitchen and store rooms were discussed. General rules of measuring and mixing food materials and their proper proportions and combinations were taught. [17 tBfje orn of tfje Wtttbzv £ tafce gkabenip Next year, in addition to this, instructions will be given selecting different cuts of meat, the best methods of baking a: boiling, deep and shallow frying, and carving and serving foot The principles taught in this class are put into practice each student in the kitchen. Five hours a week will be devot to this work. Fruit work will be given the first third of next year. Tf includes, first canning all seasonable fruits by the vario methods, making all kinds of preserves and marmalades, givii different methods of making jellies, ketchups, spiced fruii sweet and sour pickles, and meat relishes and second, lextur on the chemical nature of fruit, its acids and sugars and t value of fruit as a food, and its action on the human systei Four hours a week will be devoted to this work. In addition to this, a course including all kinds of plain, ai some fancy cooking, and, covering in a general way, all su jects with which a house keeper in moderate circumstanc needs to be familiar, will be offered. A three course lunch w be served daily during the winter months, each member of i. class preparing some portion of the meal and assisting in t' serving of the plates. They will also take turns in waiting the table. The confidence and skill thus acquired are invaluat to the students'. Rooms will be fitted up and furnished for the use and co venience of this department. Commercial department i otesi Business men have been and are still complaining again the inefficiency of the large army of stenographers and offi workers that are being turned out, each year, by the mai commercial schools of the country.

Every student a tending a school giving a commercial course of two or mo 18] tEfje Scorn of tfje fEHcber tafec Scabcm? years in length has an opportunity of becoming efficient,—yes expert in commercial branches, in connection with general high school work, if he but have the desire and determination. In this line of work there is an urgent necessity for high ideals. The student who starts his work in typewriting and shorthand with the intention of learning enough to enable him to take a position at the bottom of the stenographic help in some office, realizes his desires to the extent that he is able to take a letter at a moderate rate of speed and make a fair transcription. But the student who enters the work with a position as court steno- grapher in view, who sees a speed one-hundred-seventy-five or two-hundred words per minute ahead of him is the one who is going to get the position that pays the salary, and it is he that is going to make rapid strides in the business world should he choose to leave the stenographic profession. And in book- keeping the student who desires to learn how to keep books in a small grocery store or meat market usually acquires enough knowledge of the subject to post sales slips, and keep a simple ledger; but it is he who is determined to be the head book- keeper of a large business office that usually fills that position. Efficiency should be the watch word of every commercial student. It is within the power of every one to be an expert. Skill in shorthand is but the conscious training of mind and body to act unconsciously. Skill in typewriting is but training the fingers to obey, me- chanically and with mechanical accuracy, the command of the brain. Through a commercial course there is an opening to the business world for any young man. Why not be a good penman? You can. A halt should be called on the poor penman. It would add very much to the appearance of the bulletin boards and to your work. How would it be to have a whole school of at least mod- erately good penmen? The best student in bookkeeping is the one who does en- tirely individual work—dependence never develops independence. [19 Cl)t iScorn of tfje S Ieher italic £eabemp Brighter days are in store for the commercial departmen The increase in facilities and additional teaching force to 1 added next year will make it possible to introduce advance ideas and to strengthen, very materially, the present work. Next year the bookkeeping department will occupy the lar$ room on the second floor of the new building. This room w be newly and specially furnished. The students in first year bookkeeping have done better at more work than students of previous years. Most of them w complete the three budgets of the Sadler-Rowe system. The first year phonography students completed the manu about April first, and since that time have been reviewing ai practicing for speed. fEfje TSMay of a Ptrb One afternoon while I was sitting on a box at the south ei of an old shack, my attention was attracted by a male sparro looking for straws with which to build his nest. He was, as afterward found out by comparison, an unusually large ar beautiful specimen. He seemed to know that he possessed mo: than ordinary strength, as he seized a large straw from whic hung smaller ones and a bunch of matted string. I thoug that he had got hold of more than he could carry to his nes but I was mistaken. He dropped his load, hopped around several times before he could decide on the best way to tal hold of it, picked it up, and flew with it to a nearby fence. I- rested there for a moment and then flew to the roof of a bar From there he hopped with his load to a place under an eav where he was helping his mate to build a nest. I sat and watched the two work for some time. Then tl thought came to me, “catch Mr. Sparrow, and see what h mate will do.” I got a long piece of string, made a slip-kn loop in one end, and greased the loop so that it would si easily. I then got a ladder and climbed up to to the nest. 20] Cfje Scorn of tfje {KEleber intake Scabnnp set the loop in a place close to the nest in such a manner that the birds would have to hop within the loop to reach the nest, and then ran the string down to my box seat. I sat down to wait for the sparrows to fly to the nest. I had to wait about fifteen minutes before the birds would again approach. Mrs. Sparrow was the first to fly to their fu- ture home. She hopped within the loop and I gave the string a jerk. She dropped the straw that she was carrying and flew away before the loop had time to tighten around her leg. I again set the trap and sat down to wait. This time neither Mr. nor Mrs. Sparrow would come near the nest while I was in sight. I ran the string through a crack in the shack, and went inside to watch and wait. As soon as they saw that I was out of sight, they began in a timid way to approach the unfinished nest. Their caution almost outdid my patience. They would fly to the roof of the bam, then in a tree, back again to the barn, then to the fence, until it seemed half of an hour to me before one of them got courage to fly to the nest. I thought that I would wait until both became careless before attempting to catch Mr. Sparrow. After they had been working for some time, Mrs. Sparrow took hold of several straws broken and twisted together, and tried to raise them to her nest. She tried twice without success. Each time she dropped the straws before getting to the roof of the barn. Mr. Sparrow then took upon himself the task of rais- ing the load, fie also tried twice without success, but being persistent, he tried again. He got a good hold of it, flew to the fence, and from there to the barn as he had done several times before with large and heavy loads. He had some trouble in adjusting it, however, and for a few moments hopped around within the loop of the string. This was the chance that I had been waiting for. Just as he went to pick up the straws, I gave the string a jerk and had the satisfaction of seeing it tighten around his leg. Mr. Sparrow was mine. 1 drew him to me and picked him up. No sooner had I touched him than the courageous little fellow took hold of my fore-finger [21 dje gcorn of tfje meber takc gcabemp with a grip of a body larger than his. I had to take hold of his neck with my other hand and pull until some of the flesh on my finger was torn off before he would let go. I took him indoors and put him in an old bird cage. For a while, he fluttered and beat himself upon the sides so violently that I thought he would do himself injury. He soon settled down but still flew wildly around inside the cage. Meanwhile his mate had set up a doleful chirping in a tree not far from the barn. This she continued the remainder of the day and all of the next. I really felt sorry for her and felt as though I should like to let Mr. Sparrow go free before ac- complishing my object. On the second day after I caught the sparrow I saw that another one had taken his place. Mrs. Sparrow had mated with another. I felt indignant at this for I thought that she might have waited at least a week. On the third day, and while the newly mated sparrows were busily putting the finishing touches to the nest in the barn, I took Mr. Sparrow out in the cage and hung it on a nail in the side of the house, where he could see the nest that he had helped to build. He immediately tried his best to free himself from the cage. He couldn’t bear to see the other bird taking his place. I tied a red string around his leg and let him out of the cage. He flew, as near as I could tell, to some trees about half a block away. He soon came back, and, with his mind on noth- ing but his mate and future home, flew straight to his nest. There he met his rival. With feathers that made him look nearly as large as a robin, and with all his strength, backed by the fury of hate, he pounced upon his enemy and drove him from the neighborhood. What would he now do to his unfaithful mate? I expected to see him drive her away also, but instead he forgave her and set about again to woo her. If a bird, a mere bird, can forgive such an offense, then ought not we, blessed with greater intelligence forgive little offenses and even the greater offenses of our fellow man? —Lawrence Green well. 22] £fjc Alcorn of tfje flKHeber Intake Scabemp €bents! in W . £ . .

All Christian churchc believe in this; but the faith to which we belong, the Church c Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, emphatically teaches that n amusements should be indulged in on this most sacred day We believe that on this day we should attend church where w are taught God’s laws; and while at home, spend our time read ing good books and in meditation. Students, how many of us spend our Sundays in this way Plow many of us practice the doctrine set down for us by ou own church? Many do, I know, but some of us are apt to b thoughtless and do things that are not right. In the summe months, especially, when the weather is delightful and natur 24] Cfje gcorn of tfje ©Heber italic 3cabemp has on her most attractive garb, how easy it is for us to say, “Oh well, a little buggy ride will not be bad. I need the fresh air,” and away we go. Our consciences can be easily satisfied this way and in the act itself there is no harm—but let us see. We meet a friend coming down the street and think “There’s Tom, I’ll take him along just for company.” Tom is usually pretty good company and before very long we are telling jokes and laughing merrily. Next Sunday the same thing is done again. Perhaps this time we stop for a drink. It won’t matter just this once and Tom want’s it. Thus it goes on, the acts perfectly harmless within themselves but see to what they lead. Soon we are regarding this hallowed day merely as a time for pleasure. Evil tendencies and bad habits are formed of which we may never be able to rid ourselves. All our time is spent in building up the physical part of our beings in gratifying its desires for wealth, happiness and power. This is not the only part that needs food and development. We have a soul which must be nourished or it will die. How many of us are allowing our souls to die? How ashamed and remorseful some of us will feel when we come forth in the next world with souls small and withered, because they have been deprived of proper nutrition. God has appointed the Sabbath to be spent in obtaining spiritual food. Can we not devote just one seventh of our time to the development of this eternal part of us? As members of this church we preteni to live up to its teachings—to keep the Sabbath Day, be temperate, etc. When we violate these principles, people who do not pretend to live exemplary lives, look down upon us with contempt because we are not living up to our pretentions. Then let us not pretend but be true Latter Day Saints, al- ways remembering the many ways in which we are dependent upon our Heavenly Father, and spend this one day in devotion and thanksgiving, thus strengthening our souls by getting'in closer touch with our maker.

Is culture of the truest kind.” So thought the faculty of the Weber Stake Academy five years ago when the first committee was appointed to arrange a short series of lectures for the student body, and the patrons of the institution. When the first list was arranged, it consisted of home talent with one exception. That was Prof. S. H. Clark, of the Chi- cago University, and he has given at least one lecture or inter- pretative recital each year since. The thought of paying one hundred and fifty dollars for one man caused some to shake their heads doubtfully and predict financial disaster to the enterprise, but the students and the public stood by the movement and made possible its growth, until now it is unexcelled in the state or in the west. The program has been so varied that every one must have found something to interest, to entertain and to inspire to better deeds. In art, in music, in magic, in science, in literature and in philosophy, opportunity has been given to listen to the latest and best thought. What pleasure will always be associated with the names of Alton Packard, the cartoonist, Dr. Richard G. Moulton and Prof. S. H. Clark of the Chicago University, Chas. T. Grilly, Van Veachton Rogers, Prof. John B. DeMott, Dr. Thos. E. Green, Maro, the magician, the Dunbars, Dr. George Riddle of Harvard,and the Hon.William Jennings Bryan! Each brought with him a fund of knowledge and a strong individuality, and each one left with words of congratulation, for the inspiring audience that greeted him. Of the large crowds that have witnessed each number during this year, few have realized the work and actual expense of bringing these great men from all parts of our country, and doubtless some have wondered what was done with the money [27 £fjc corn of tfje Slefjcr tafcc cabemp coined by this undertaking:. There are those, however, v realize that the Tabernacle is not large enough to support si a course at the price asked for the season ticket, and many hi expressed their willingness to pay twice the sum, should it necessary to raise the price next season. For the success of this course great credit is due to the thusiasm and energy of the committee, and especially to Pr Wilford M. McKendrick, who has been chairman from the fii and who has worked untiringly to establish this source of spiration and culture. JfaretoeU Dear School-mate and Teacher, and Sister as well.

Unity is Strength It has always been the desire of the class of’08 to be the largest and strongest class that has ever graduated from the W. S. A., and, knowing that parties, as well as hard study, are needed to keep the class united, we have given four successful parties this year. A class re-union, October 25, 1906, was the first party of the season, and we all had a delightful time. The reception to the Faculty and Board on January 22nd, 1907, was enjoyed by both students and guests. The dancing party, given December 20th and the one on March 1st, were successes both financially and socially. We hope that when we separate this June, we may feel that we have come nearer our aim, and that next September every member may return with a determination to realize more fully our ideal. “I got hit with a coward egg.” “What kind of an egg is that?” “One of those that hits you and then runs.” [39 {Efjc Scorn of tfje 2 lcbcr takc Scabcmn opf)omore Class; President...............................................................Burton Driggs Vice President..........................................................Lenora Brown Member of Executive Committee...................................Heber Woolley Motto..............................................................Progression Yell: We are in it all the time. We the class of '09. Color: Olive, Blue and Silver. Our class party given the early part of the school year was an entire success. The games were amusing and every one had a jolly time. Refreshments were served later in the eve- ning. The only disagreeable feature of the evening was tnat twelve o’clock came too soon. After the B. B. game, between the L. D. S. and our boys, the Sophomore class entertained the faculty and two teams at a banquet. The tables were very artistically decorated and the class colors were hung about the room. Toasts were given by members present. The last school dance, in the Royal Academy, was given by the Sophomore class, May 10th. The decorations were ap- propriate, and all had a merry time. ? ? ♦ ♦ One bright morning a little child started out to see what she could of the world in one day. Not Farr from her home was a beautiful Wood, and as she followed the narrow trail leading through it, she looked about her and thought, “How beautiful nature is.” Through the forest there were many great oaks, and she wondered how such a tiny thing as an Acorn could grow and produce such great results. She noticed how the then turning Amber and Brown, and shuddered to think ®je corn of tfje V tbev tafee gcabemp how very soon the cold Winters blast would destroy their beauty. Child though she was, she had learned to Reed, and Wright, and was indeed a good Reeder, so as she Felt tired from the long walk, she set her basket, which she had been told to Carry to the next town, on a huge Stone, seated herself beside an old Green well and began to read. She was deeply interested when she heard a sudden rustle of leaves, and looking up, saw a little Fawn run before her. She left this forest and soon came to the city. The first thing she saw was a Marshall rudely dragging a young Mil- ler to prison and following close behind was the ever curious Weaver, Carver, and Tanner trying to see for themselves the cause of the trouble. She hurried away from the scene for she Felt she could not Barrett. So she started on a path leading up a Hill, on the top of which was a great Chapel, and to which all the Royal people went. After reaching the top she looked down at the scenes below. There was the broad landscape and at a distance stretched the ocean, on which sailed a great Shipp. “Oh” she thought, “How happy would Victor be if he could but Wade to her and receive some of the beautiful Pearls with which she is laden.” That night as she thought over the events of the day she was sorry she had been compelled to see the unhappiness of life in the city, but she knew that the Ray of happiness she had felt had come through the beauty of the Wood. —Genevive Williams.

The team met the O. H. S. second team, and defeated them with a score of 29 to 3. The game was exciting and for quick playing was second only to the game with the D. D. S. Thus encouraged, the Freshmen team set out to make a great record in the B. B. world. Don’t you wish you were a Freshie now? Just think what a long time, the class is to occupy the new building. (When its finished). On the night of April 12th, the Freshmen entertained at a dancing party. The hall was decorated with flags, palms and class banners. In spite of the warm weather all enjoyed them- selves and pronounced the event an entire success. March 21 the Freshmen played their first class league basket ball game. After a hard fight, they lost to the Sophomores. This was the first defeat and the boys do not seem to have re- covered yet. The Preparatory were easily beaten. The proud band of first years were enjoying the coming defeat of the Jun- iors when upon reaching the Armory, they discovered it was soldiers’ wash day and the floor was covered with wet clothes. This put an end to the enthusiasm and Basket Ball stepped aside for Socker. (43 Cfjc corn of tfjc 3 Ieber tabe gcabemp preparatory President.......... Vice President....

The work done by the Preparatory students has, as a whole, been successful. We believe that our studies completed this year, will serve as a solid foundation upon which we can suc- cessfully complete our four years course. A good spirit has been manifested by all, and we will look back with joy to the good times had together. The Preps have also showed quite an interest in athletics. We have had a fairly successful season in basket ball, losing only two games, and those by close margins. We were success- ful in these games: O. H. S. 20—5. State Industrial 6—2. State Ind. 13—10. We have a base ball team which we are sure will do excel- lent work when they commence playing, as the captain is a gale, supported by a contractor, a musician, a newsboy, two farmers, a guard, a policeman and an undertaker. We must not forget to mention that we have two Brigham City players to help us. Prep Gingles Bro.

[45 tEfje Alcorn of tfje 3QHeber take cabemp Jfuture of ’08 In this most noted class there is one Vivian, who declares she will live a life of single blessedness, but as I look into the future, I see her Mrs. Nephi Manning. There is a history to this happy couple, for, When Vivian was a Freshmen green. Nephi tried a smile to glean. But Rosella came along. Politely stole the smile therefrom. Now on a bright and sunny day. Nephi was asked to stay away. For Rosella, strange it seems. Saw Brother Lind in all her dreams. So I see the old love grow, and in a few years, Nephi and Vivian making their home in Roy. While pondering over this I was carried to New York in a dream, I wandered along Broadway until I came to a theatre. I went in and found that the last act of Madam Butterfly was being played. Imagine my surprise when I recognized among the players, two of my old school-mates, Beatrice Barnes and Wm. Wright. There was William bending over the prostrate form of Beatrice. I hurried out of the theatre and rushed in a dazed manner down the street. Turning a corner, I found myself in front of a large house, on each side of which was a tiny one-roomed house. The three houses were built on one lot and as closely together as possible. To my great astonishment, I was in- formed that Mrs. Katherine McKay Owen lived in the large house and that Raymond Becraft and Wm. Driver occupied the two lonely little houses. Apparently, they were living alone but as close to Katherine as possible. I called on Katherine and she informed me that Mrs. Pearl Cragun Brown was living across the street. Also that she was exspecting Ethel Guild almost any day, as she was coming to New York, where, after all these years of waiting, she would become the bride of Raymond Becraft. 46] fCfje grorn of tfje GHeber tafee Scabemp From here, I was carried, in my dream, on board a ship, which was bound for Holland. Among its passengers I met William Ellis and Harold Johnson, who were going on missions, As I drew near to them, I noticed traces of tears. I inquired if they were homesick but just one sad glance was all the ans- wer I received. The gaze of each turned mournfully to some- thing in his hand. There, clasped tightly in Harold’s hands was the picture of Mina McFarland while William clung lov- ingly to the portrait of Florence Barker. I asked no more questions; this told me all. When I arrived at Amsterdam, I bade our two lonely mis- sionaries goodbye, and started to look for the shop of Dewey Ensign, as I had heard that he had moved over there, where he had taken up the trade of making wooden shoes. I also met Elsie Powel who was standing on the comer sell- ing choice canaries, which I found was her chief attraction. From Holland I sailed to Liverpool. After landing, I bought a newspaper. One of the first things that attracted my atten- tion was the following, stated in large, black headlines; “The two well-known explorers, Lawrence Greenwell and Francis Goddard, have started on one of their long journeys, to dig in the ruins of Pompeii, for ancient skeletons.” Another large announcement, that I noticed, read as follows: “Mr. Irving Erickson and Miss Pearl Smuin, the renowned singers, will give one of their grand concerts.” Next, I was carried to a little town in America, called Huntsville. Here I met Heber Hancock hauling hay. He was very glad to see me for he said he had not been to Ogden for three years, so had seen scarcely a person. As I stood there, I was startled by the noise of tin cans. Looking up, I saw Walter Thomas, who was driving a milk- wagon. Elinor was along with him, selling butter. I learned that William Shaw had acquired the title of Dr. and was teaching in the University of Huntsville. From here I went to my dear old town of Ogden. Lillian Guthrie told me that George Hooper had been elected Mayor [47 Cfje corn of tlje K3Kefjcr tafce gkatoemp r and that she was giving' a grand ball in his honor. I was in- vited to attend and did so. Among the many friends I met were Walter Cordon, who was leading the orchestra. Also Clarence Wright, who had become a famous orator; and, al- though an old bachelor, appeared to be very happy. After a few moments, I saw William Driver behind me, and upon ask- ing why he had returned from New York so soon, was informed that he had come to claim Sadie Wade for his bride and, that they expected to go into the chicken business. He asked me where I was living and then I woke up, only to find myself seated beside the table where first I had started to imagine the future of my class-mates. —Frances Poulter, ’08.

We have ap- preciated these different school papers and have looked forward each month to their coming. We only hope that our ‘Acorn’ has been as gladly received.
