Cf)f St eamer A fair child sat beside his mother's knee. And dreamed great things of what he’d do and be. Some day his fellow-men should call him great, A leader in the nation and the state; Some day in history they should write his name With those who were already known to fame. While listening to his talk, the mother smiled And whispered soft responses to the child. Years came and went. The child a youth became. But still his hopes and dreams remained the same As when he sat beside his mother’s knee, A lisping child, and dreamed of what he’d be. His place was at the top, among the few Who have the high and lofty things to do. Thus he built up air castles to the sky While all around, his schoolmates passed him by. As time rolled on, the youth became a man. Still dreaming dreams, although he now began To wonder why they were not realized, Why others gained the fame he sought and prized. But suddenly from dreaming he awoke, For near his side it seemed a soft voice spoke: “Why waste in dreams the time God gives to you? Arise! Go forth and make your dreams come true! And that was all. It was enough; the man Went forth to find his place in God’s great plan Of busy life. At last he knew the way And reaped success by toiling day by day. So with us all, as on through life we go. ’Tis what we do; not what we think or know. That wins success in this great world of ours. The sharpest thorns surround the sweetest flowers. LEE PUR KINGTON. jfrom un$et to Sunrise orace Winters drew the covering over his masterpiece and left the studio. At last this picture was completed—this pic- ture. the dream, the work of years. To- morrow it would he placed in the exhibit. He imagined even now that he heard the people, the artists, and the critics praising it. and above the murmur of their voices he seemed to hear. “How wonderful! How true to nature! W hat a picture! How no- ble and uplifting! And the artist—he is greatly blessed by the Creator.” “Blessed!” That word brought him out of his reverie. “That is just the word they will use. he thought bitterly as he entered the room, lie caught sight of his haggard face in the mirror—it was worn and pale from overwork and insufficient rest. “Blessed? he repeated. “It is not bless- ing that has painted this picture; it is work and sacrifice. Impatiently he paced the floor, thinking of the morrow. He crossed the room and threw open the western window. The glowing embers of the closing day were beginning to burn out. The last crimson bar in the west was slowly fading into the mysterious gray which mantles the world in the hour of peace. Somehow the scene did not appeal to Morace tonight and tired and weary lie threw himself on the bed to rest. Still the thoughts of his picture haunted him. “They will praise the picture and the Creator who has so blessed tin painter, but the praise belongs to me. I have sacrificed home, parents, love—everything for my ambition. It is not blessing, it is work—perseverance has made me a creator. 'Phc.se were his reflec- tions as he fell asleep. When he awoke it seemed that he was being strangled, lie could not breathe. What was this choking sensation? The truth dawned upon him. It was smoke. 'Pile building was on fire! lie rushed to the door, but it was not the thought of reaching personal safety that possessed him—he remembered that bis studio was on tin floor below and that bis picture was there. He rushed down the stairs maddened by the thought that his work might be destroyed. Ilis progress was stopped by a wall of flame. He was too late. l or weeks and months after the fire Morace was melancholy, lie | U ye ACORN ]® Pag'e lO felt that all has work had been in vain, lie tried to paint another picture, but his soul would not enter into the work. The heavy sadness threatened to drive him into desperation. 11 is old haunts did not appeal to him now. He was not the same, and he knew it. At last he decided it was perseverance he had lost. He determined to regain it. He decided to begin a new picture and to complete it. lie began, but his work seemed tiresome, and when the picture was completed he was not pleased. hat is the trouble ” He asked himself that question and the answer came. “Mv work does not de- light me. There is no soul in my pictures. The life is gone.” He was awakened from these thoughts by a gentle voice. He looked up into a woman's face; she was neither young nor beauti- ful. but her face wore a sweet, motherly expression. “Mr. W inters, the artist? she asked. He nooded. “Mr. Winters. I should like you to paint me a picture. My only son is going away to school. I want a picture to hang in his room— a picture of the Christ Child.” “1 understand. lie answered briefly. The Christ Child.” Then he repeated, “The Christ Child. “You will paint it. will you not? she asked. 1 will try,” he answered, “but things are not the same as they were before the lire; yet I will try. After she had gone he began to wonder. What did the Christ Child look like? lie had forgotten. hat was the vision that he had seen at his mother's knees when she told him of the Child Jesus? Gradually the vision came back to him—his childhood’s dream of the Christ, lie determined to place it into the picture for the sake of this mother and for the sake of the mother lie had known long ago in the home of his childhood, lie worked his dream into a pic- ture. He hoped, he prayed, and when it was do te he knew that it was the work of a master. The day came when Morace was to part with his picture. He arose early and watched the sun rise. It is a new day—new hope. Ilovv strange. he mused, and thus it has been with me—a sunset when I began to doubt that God had blessed me. a night wherein I groped about blindly and. not finding what 1 sought, determined that I had lost it. Hut now comes the sunrise of hope. How wonderfully I have been blessed. I have lost nothing—I have found faith. ’A)t Alcorn VOLUME NINF.

Our journey has been one of joy —we have traveled through fields of experience and we have passed over hills of difficulty—now we halt, bigger and broader. But have we dropped any acorns by the wayside which will take root in the rich soil of Weber and come forth as good character?

Fellow-students, in parting we would have you remember that we have possibilities just as great as have acorns—let us grow intc mighty oaks.

Farewell.’ £ ur iHotto Tired :m l carewbrn—disheartened l� v their repeated discouragements, the Carthegeninn soldiers slowly make their way up the Alps. Now they halt, and Hannibal, their great leader, inspires his loyal followers with the words. “lie vond the Alps lies Koine.'' Ihiring the past four years, as we. the 1912 class, have been moving slowly upward, these wolds have been before us. When a difficult problem has been before us. when we have been discouraged and disheartened, these words have ,-ome to US with a double meaning. We have realized that each day has its Alps to cross and each day has its Koine. First the struggle, and then the calmness that follows a well-earned victory. And now we have graduated and the question .•.mies Will there be no more difficulties, no more barriers to overcome, no goal to beckon us on to gieater things and greater success? Surely we are to prepare tor a greater climb and our future hopes are the same as Hannibal's and his soldiers, for when they had reached Rome, it was then that they realized even greater difficulties lay before them, and they never though of saving. “There is nothing left to do. But the very greatness of their past exploits began soon to awaken in their hearts an ambition to go on and on and undertake the ac- complishment of other deeds of daring and glory—to reach one goal only t start for another. Debating Again the god of victory smiled upon us. Our debating team defeated tin Juniors 3 to 0. No one ever dreamed that the contest would ever result other than as it did. I seemed that victory laughed aloud when we defeated the Freshmen 2 to 1. The Presides, who ceitainly put up a hard light for the cup, succeeded in proving the “Sophomore Hoodoo’ to be a myth and. since they have three year:- more to be at Weber, we expect to see three ’lo’s on the t rophy.

He saw the words ‘‘Weber Academy” over the door and decided to enter. He did so and stared around in amazement. Nothing was familiar. There was a large number of trange students standing near a desk where was seated an old. gray- haired lady, lie heard somebody address her as Mrs. Kunz, and then plead not guilty to the charge of being on the “exclusion list.” She asked Myron what he wanted, and in bewilderment he said. •’Where is everybody that was here yesterday?” This is the same bunch in the office.

Cora Knsius was giving lectures against the adoption of the Initiative and Referendum.

It is not only the great worth of the flag that makes it so dear to us—it is the givers. These noble men who fought to preserve our l uion have indeed taught us many lessons in patriot- ism.

E. Cain. Every stale has its heroic age. Iowa, young as she is. has prob- ably passed the high tide of her existence. Scarcely once in a thou- sand years do states or nations fight for a principle really vital to the human race. All states worth preserving have wars; yea. so long as men are human wars will rage somewhere in the world. Put war for the upholding of freedom, for the unchaining of millions of human beings—such wars are the epochs of the gaes! All other wars of former times were petty encounters when com- pared with the war of the Rebellion. Many northern states won im- perishable renown, but the state of Iowa bv common consent stood first and foremost among them all. Of a population of less than 700.000, nearly 80,000 were in the field. Of her arms-bearing men. every other one stood in the ranks of the I'nion army. Two thousand | one hundred and fifty-two of them were killed outright in battle:: 10,216 died in hospitals from wounds and sickness: and more than 10,000 were discharged for disability and bodies ruined by the service. It was an awful price for young Iowa to pay. When Fort Sumter was fired upon and the dissolution of our Ini � n was driven upon our people. President Lincoln knew that moment, as the world knows now. that his conduct in the crisis and! the conduct of those he might control would settle forever the tion whether a Republican form of Government could live in spite oil internal foes. Put it required a million armed men to decide it. Within four days of that fatal shot on Sumter, Governor Kirk- Page S e ACORN u(x. ! of Iowa received from Secretary of War Camerson the follow- ing telegram: Call made on you by tonight's mail for one regiment of militia for immediate service. Iowa readily responded to this call, before this fearful war was ended sell had furnished nine cavalry regiments, forty infantry, and four batteries. One of these, the 'Third Iowa Cavalry, the one to which I wish to call especial attention today, more than 1,000 strong, was organized and equipped by Col. Cyrus llusscv at the request of (General Tremont. This was to be one of the “crack cavalry regiments of the service, and its history proved its men to be up to every expectation. Colonel Bussey was a cavalry officer of the first order: and his command was thoroughly drilled and disciplined at Benton barracks in the early winter of 1F61. On December 12. Companies K. T. C«. and (I marched under Caldwell to Jefferson City: and more than two years passed away before they were again united with the oilier companies. They, as many oilier regiments during that struggle, endured many hardships. On March 7 and 8. 1862, they participated in a severe battle at Pea Ridge. In this battle the 'Third Iowa Cavalry lost more than eleven per cent of its enlistment: only one cavalry regiment in the Union army lost a greater per cent of killed in a single action. This was the Sixth Michigan, at Hawes Shop. Virginia, which lost twelve per cent. W e find our Third Iowa at the battle of Helena. Then again. °u June 10. we find them at the battle of C.untown : here they were almost cut to piece. Tor 54 hours the men had been in the saddle without forage for their horses or food for themselves: but Col. John W . Xoble led the Third Iowa with a gallantry equaled only by the hard fighting of his command. Again, at Ripley, we find them: this bine defeated, but bravely fighting to the end. In the I at tie of Tupel o they marched to victory .

In this there was little hard lighting, but the amount of property and stores de- stroyed by the Third Iowa proved as useful to the I’nion cause as a great battle would have clone. The first of the year 1865. the two divisions of the regiment were united at Louisville. They were at once remounted and newly equip- ped to take part in the last campaign of the war: the great raid under General W ilson. This was one of the most important and daring campaigns narrated in history. It commenced at Last Port, on the Tennessee River. March 21. 1865. and ended at Macon. Georgia, with the close of the war. The distance marched by this column, 14,000 strong, was not less than 60C miles. They took not less than seven fortified towns: captured more than 1 (X) cannon: burned 300 bales of cotton worth $50.CCO: destroyed railroads, bridges, factories, and army stores beyond computation; captured thousands of prison- ers; and left Alabama in desolation and waste. At Selma the Third Iowa was at the front, led by General Wil- son. In an hour Selma, and its vast stores, ammunition and prisoners were in the I’nion hands. The city of Montgomery next fell without a blow, and the Iowa Cavalry rode through the streets of the Confed- eracy'. first capital with banners Hying and bugle sounding. In :i lew days the strongly fortified city of Columbus was attacked: the Third and Fourth Iowa and the Tenth Missouri making the principal assault. This was April It). The resistance against the t'nion lines was very severe. Six companies of the Third Iowa were dismounted and fought as infantry, assault- ing the entrenchments and a battery. Guided in the darkness only by the flash and roar of the enemy's guns, they advanced over rough and unknown ground with a cheer, and took the outer works. Another charge made by a part of the Tenth Missouri Cavalry to a bridge near by resulted only in a fiercer fire being opened up on the Iowa boys, but they held their ground; and another advance over lodgment was gained inside the defense. It was now short work. Troops of the brigade were charging in; the battery flag and runners were captured by the Thitd Iowa; and shortly the position was in the I'uion hands—Columbus was taken. The superior pronounced the gallant charge of the Third Iowa as heroic and worthy of all praise. For this service. Colonel Noble, with his brave regi- ment. was selected as ptovo guard for the city, and went on guard the same night. The charge, which won groat honor for the Third Iowa, was the more noticeable, as it was the last cavalry tight of the year. On April 21 the regiment readied Macon and here learned that the cruel war had come to an end. It was shortly mustered out. and reached home August 9, 1865. Its last campaign was the most glorious. Colonel Noble always gave just praise to his subordinate officers; also, to Private Tibbets, who captured a bat tery flag at Columbus. Nor would I forget to pay honor to tin loyal women of Iowa; such as Mrs. Anna Witten Meyer. Mrs. (frillies. Mrs. Salter, Mrs. Joseph Harlan, and |uau others who gave liberally of their time and means to organize Red Cross societies for the aid and relief of her army in the field. So long as an Iowa soldier breathes, their noble work will never be forgotten. | Sfte ACORN ]0 Pa c 58 QZ )C -past Reason in ©asffeft iBall 'flic sameness, team work, and the way the team took defeat was so pronounced that even our opponents expressed their admiration.

WEBER ACADEMY “Jesus says: ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven.’ The realization of the Divine spirit in your life and through your life, and what- ever else your finite life may require will be added unto you. Early work, guided in accordance with its inner meaning, confirms and elevates religion. Religion without industry, without work is liable to be lost in empty dreams, worthless visions, idle fancies. Similary, work or in- dustry without religion degrades man into a beast or burden, a machine. Work and religion must be simultaneous, for God, the Eternal, has been creating from all eternity. Were this fully recognized, were men fully impressed with this truth, were they to act and work in conformity to it in life, what a height could mankind soon attain.” Froebel. JOHN SCOWCROFT SONS CO.
