We have en- deavored to maintain the high standard set us by previous publica- tions, and we trust that our critics will not be too severe. Many changes have taken place in the manner of conducting this paper in the last year-changes of which we have not approved, but which we hope are for the best. THE BLUE AND WHITE, hitherto a Junior publication, has been given to the Assembly, thus taking from the Junior Class a much cherished asset. The reason for the change seems to have been to increase the finances of the Assembly. The Junior Class gives to the Assembly money which it needs itself, thereby adding more fuel 'to the fire. The second change was in the time of publishing. However beneficial this may prove to be from a financial standpoint, it means an additional burden for the Editorial Staff. IN HONOR or SHAKESPEARE. For some months schools, clubs and other organizations throughout the world have been commemorating the the tercentenary of William Shakes- peare's death. In our our own school, the English classes have been laying special emphasis upon the study of the life and works of the bard of Avon. Later, as a modest contribution to what is being done everywhere, in recognition of the great dramatist's place in literature, the Seniors will present at their graduation a Shakes- pearian program, which will consist of appropriate tributes to Shakes- peare, including songs and character- istic scenes from his plays. Pnrzn EssAYs. 1 Following last year's precedent, the local W. O. T. U., early in 1916, again offered three prizes for the best themes on the subject: The Value of Total Abstinence to aHuman Life. As before, the student body took practically no interest in the contest, and it was o after repeated urging on the part o the faculty, that four essays were handed in. In our last number we saw fit to write on School Spirit. We asked that all school activities be supported heartily by the pupils. This is the answer which we have received. The manner in which the student body responded in this contest is simply disgraceful. To receive so generous an offer with such indifference shows not only lack of interest but of appreciation on the part of the students. It is inexcus- able! There is plenty of literary ability in the school. The trouble is a de- plorable lack of School Spirit! 8 wha Blue ants white The prize winners were,--Marion Hazelton, 1st prizeg Ruth Smith, 2nd prizeg Milan Welch, 3rd prize. ATTENTION ! At the beginning of the school year, the High School treasury contained three hundred and five dollars. Cn April 21, 1916, the treasury contained but sixty-live dollars. This is the lowest it has been for years. The situation is really startling. The reason for it is simple. For the last year, athletics have been altogether too expensive. We believe that it is possible to economize. It does not seem to us absolutely necessary that the teams pay such a large sum for coaches. Such an expenditure is an innovation in this school and thus far has not been successful. We do not, however, recommend the abolishing of athletics, for we believe that they can be conducted on a paying basis. Moreover we believe that they should be conducted on such a basis, for it can be readily seen that such lack of thrift as has of late been apparent will soon involve us in bankruptcy. It is, at least, certain that matters can not go on as they ar at present. What is to be the remeg? ATHLETICS. Aside from the Hnancial standpoint, athletics have been fairly successful during the present year. The basket ball season started in with promise. The break, however, was bound to come. Principal Conant and the School Board did the only thingpossi- ble under the circumstancesf Baseball was started this spring and a large squad reported for prac- tice. Captain Hulit and Coach Corey expect afavorable season. It is hoped that the school will give the team its support and make possible a credit- able iinancial season. DEBATING. School spirit, or rather lack of school spirit, renders the formation of a debating class a somewhat difficult project. Plenty material was avail- able, but only four boys joined the class. Later four girls joined and the teams set about preparing for the Bowdoin Interscholastics. Previous to this, one main-room debate had been held, Welch, 117, and Dodge, '17, defeating Sisson, '16, and Laverty, '17, on the following question :- Re- solved, that the Garrison plan of military reorganization should be adopted. The winners supported the aiiirmative. The same question was selected for the Interscholastics, the W. H. S. boys having the affirm- ative. The girls' team, in support oi the negative, planned to debate the Biddeford High School girls. Under the able direction of Mr. Moran oi Bowdoin, '17 , the teams prepared for the debates. On Feb. 25, the boys' team lost to Biddeford, by a 2-1 vote. Members of the team-Arthur Sisson '16, Harold Dodge, '17, Milan Welch '17, Manager, and Merton Laverty '17 . Cn the same evening, the girls team won from the Biddeford girls. by a unanimous vote. The members of the team are as follows: Nellie Burnell, '16, Marion Hazelton, '16 Florence Libby, '17, Manager, anc Helen Bancroft, '16, Prospects for a good debating tean next year are bright. Only one mem ber leaves the boys' team, and, al though the girls' team will have bu' THE CLASS OF 1917 i1L wiei , . Qtbe Blue ans white 9 one veteran left, plenty of good ma- terial is available. ScHooL Socisns AND ENTERTAINMENTS. 'On Saturday, February 5th, the musical comedy, Jack and the Baked Bean Stalk, was presented at Gum- berland Hall. Both performances were Well attended, and, thanks to management of Stearns, 'l6,the affair was a great financial success. Much credit is due Miss True, of the Faculty, Miss Clifford and Miss Phinney. On Friday, March 17, the Seniors and Juniors held a joint social at the Casino. Although a large crowd was present and a iine time had, the affair did not prove a lucrative one. The High School play, She Stoops to Conquer, was presented at the Scenic Theatre, May 8 and 9. It was a great success and does much credit to the school. Some students seem to think that the term school spirit applies only to athletics. To our mind, school spirit has a greater and broader mean- ingg it embraces not merely a certain group, but the student body as a whole, it stands for the welfare of the entire school! A Scnoor. SONG. Has it ever been brought to your attention that W. H. S. has no school song? True, we have the time- honored custom of singing Wake, Freshmen, Wake, to newcomers, but that is not a W. H. S. song. It is a Bowdoin fraternity song, adopted by us. We should have a school song of our own! This is a gentle hint for some of our composers to get busy and remedy this deficiency. A HIGH Scnoor. LIBRARY. We have long felt the need of a better library, one which would be supplied with some up-to-date period- icals, such as the Literary Digest, New York Independent, the Out- look, or Scientific American. These would be not only interesting during spare periods, but would be a great aid to the debating teams. It is thought that such literature would also prove valuable assets to both the chemical and literary departments. Would it not be possible for the As- sembly to subscribe to a few of the above-mentioned magazines? Although we are unable to agree with the views setforth in the follow- ing letter, we welcome it, as we de- sire to present both sides of the case. We believe that the author is quite sincere and is working for the good of the school. Westbrook, Me., April 29, 1916. 'ro the Editor of BLUE AND WHITE, Dear Sir: I have noticed, recently, that there has been considerable discussion among the non-athletic element of the school, relative to the seemingly unnecessary expenditure of the Assembly funds, for coaches for ath- letic organizations representing this school. If the pupils have any school pride Whatever, they will wish to have athletic teams which will compare with those of surrounding schools. If the boys have a. good team, they need a coach to keep things in order, and to give the finishing touches that are essential to team workg and then again, if the, material is poor, an expensive coach is still necessary. While he probably cannot develop a first- class team, he can give them the funda- mental principles, and the next year he will probably have the majority of the men back, and will be able to produce a winning team. We must look at a coach as nothing I0 Eb: Blue ants white more nor less than an investment. The money invested should return with interest, forthe school should be more willing to support the team. Every knock is not a boost-more material boosting would be appreciated, for if the games were well attended I am sure that the money taken at the gate would pay all expenses, including the coaching, and leave a balance on the credit sheet. It must be thoroughly understood that the salary is always carefully considered by Mr. Conant and the managers and captains of the diderent teams and the lowest pos- sible tlgures are always secured. If some do not think the coach is earning his money, they should get out and try for the team, personally, and then if they do not make it, they will have the satisfaction of saying that he does earn his money. Some people argue that the athletic re- ports of other schools do not show such deficits as ours, but in such cases, one al- most invariably Bnds a teacher, as a physical instructor, his duties being to teach some subject or subjects and, besides, to have full charge of the athletic interests. He is then paid by the city, and thus the coaching expenses are eliminated. This is something Westbrook High needs and should have and would surely appreciate. E. M.

But soon a girl espied his plight, And took him by the arm To guide him to the principal, Who stilled his wild alarm. A As days passed by, Sam lost his fear, But bashful grew insteadg And though he idolized that girl, Toward her, ne'er turned his head. But soon he had a happy thought, The month of May drew nearg A May-basket he'd fondly place, At the shrine of one most dear. But alas for bashful Sammie, He confided how he feltg And knowing not the wiles of Sophs, He asked one where she dwelt. It chanced that this kind Sophomore Himself that girl did likeg And so explained to eager Sam, The place where lived Old Mike. Old Mike, the miser, lived alone With his most vicious dog, And plagued and tricked by rascal boys, He threatened all to Hog. At last the fateful night arrived, And Sam with spirits lightg Had hung the basket on the door, And run with all his might. Then from the house there came a yell, The door was opened wideg And out the door there leaped the dog, Ere Sam had time to hide. Old Mike hurled threats and scornfu The dog came on full bound, ljibes Though Samuel was a Heshy youth, His sprinting would astound. Till reaching soon a low-branched tree, He clambered on a limbg g And there he sat for two long hours, While glared the cur at him. At last Old Mike aweary grew, And called the dog away: Then Sam with rising anger swore, For this that Soph shall pay! And here it may as well be said, That woe did soon betide, For Sammie licked that Sophomore, And won his girl beside. R. K., '19.

Her thoughts seemed to be traveling far out beyond the little harbor to the blue stretch of ocean which met the distant horizon. Scarcely a year ago her father had proudly ridden forth upon the crest of the waves with his well equipped fishing smack, fully confident of bringing home a big catch from the Grand Banks. But month after month passed and the little craft did not return. and no word was received from her captain or any of her crew. Little doubt now remained in the minds of the most hopeful of the friends that these men had met a sailor's fate and had been lost at sea. Mary's thoughts were busy devising some plan for lightening the house- hold burdens, for the tired look which the daughter had noticed that morning on her mother's face, showed only too plainly that care and worry were beginning to tell upon her. The murmur of familiar voices and the sound of her own name, caused Mary to turn to greet her friends, John Dallings and his sister Grace. Why, halloo, John, and halloo, Grace! How good of you to come! Isn't this a great day? Well, I should say so, an- swered Grace. Just right for a sail, exclaimed John. Oh! wouldn't that be glorious! Let's go over to Lovell in the sailboat. The Wind is just right, and mother can spare me, I think. Just the thingll' agreed Grace and John. At two o'clock, the trio set sail for Lovell, a small summer resort just across the bay, where they spent the afternoon with Mary's aunt. About five o'clock, they started on the homeward trip. When about half way across the bay, Mary spied some- thing iloating in the water near them. John directed the boattowards the object, which proved to be a bottle. inside of which, was a scrap of papei with Writing on it. Mary was the first to read the messagej As she read, her cheeks turned ashy, he lips began to tremble, and she seemes on the point of fainting. Crossing the stern to where Mary was sitting Grace dashed water upon the girl' temples and rubbed her hands, whil John seized the paper and read a follows : Lone Tree Island, June 6, 1915. Alone, starving and in need of clothing, living on roots and bark of trees. Will the one who finds this please offer some assistance to T. D. Smith, captain of fishing schooner Macbeth, wrecked off Newfoundland, July 1, 1914. Why! exclaimed John, th: must be Mary's father! Gite Blue aah white 23 Mary had by this time revived enough to tell them that shehad recog- nized the writing to be that of her father. Upon reaching home, the letter was shown to Mrs. Smith, who was also convinced that it was from her long lost husband, whom she had feared dead. Six weeks later, there was great rejoicing at the Smith home, for after a five weeks' search, -Mr. Smith had been found and restored to his wife and children. Purnus GnEssEY,'19. A CAT'S PLEA No, it's no use being just an old family cat Without any feelings! What? say cats have feelings, after the way you've pulled my tail and kicked me out of the door! You must remember that you are fifteen times heavier than I, and one hundred times stronger, but still you think it is all right to throw stones at me and toss me from some high place to see if I'll land on my feet. I won't say that you do all these things, but why don't you try to stop others from tormenting me? You laugh at the little baby for pulling my tail, and then you get mad and give me alicking for protect- ing myself by scratching. Another thing-you do not feed me enough. You say that if the old cat is hungry, she will go out and catch a mouse. But this is not so, for we cats catch every mouse we can find, whether we are hungry or not. You fire shoes at me and my friends when we try to talk things over in the back yard at night. Don't you like to have a good time with your friends? Then why should not' a cat like to, also? You make us beg for everything we get to eat. How would you like to have to beg for everything you Want to eat? You do not think it is cold for us to be out in zero weatherg but how should you like to stay out all night, as I have to? Now, Boy, you have heard my plea, and you know how I feel when mis- used. So won't you please try to treat the old family cat decently after this? DANA GREENLAW. HAZY-RIVER JDE ' Hazy-River Joe was a tall, muscular Indian, about forty years of age, with beady, black eyes, and dark, straight hair. His swarthy face was covered with scars, and was marked by very high cheek bones and a long, slender nose. His broad shoulders were covered with a buck- skin coat, the front of which was lecorated with beadwork. Like his face, his long, slender hands were :narred by scars. On his feet were a pair of knee-high boots, into which his trousers were closely tucked. The only visible weapon about him was an old-fashioned muzzle-loading rifle with a very long barrel. As he started quietly forth from his dingy hut, situated on one of the back streets of a small Canadian town a few miles above the border, he appeared as a man accustomed to strive for himself under all condi- tions. After walking aimlessly about for over an hour, he looked at a' battered silver Watch, and then hastened to- wards the small railroad station. He 24 Ghz Blue anim white arrived just in time to see the daily train continue it journey, leaving be- hind the usual crowd of expectant fall hunters from the States, who came yearly to this region to hunt big game. Suddenly two tall young men sprang forward and slapped the Indian on the shoulder. Been waiting for you for a week, he exclaimed. With a hearty hand- shake and welcome, the three men went to Joe's cabin, where he pre- pared a light meal. When this was over, they sat down and discussed hunting trips of past seasons, and the prospects of the present season, near the sources of Hazy River. ae w as 4 wk s Five days later, three very tired- looking men journeyed laboriously down the slopes of a steep, thickly- Wooded hill, towards the foaming torrents of Hazy River. The leader was dressed in the usual Indian garb, as were also the other two, with the exception of red flannel shirts, which replaced the buckskin coat. All had large packs over their shoulders, which they immediately cast off when when the stream was reached. After refreshing themselves with a drink from the cool waters, they set to work to arrange a camp. Two small, white tents were first set up, one for a liv- tent, and the other to sleep in, and having ditched these, they began to collect a large amount of fuel. In such ways they spent two days in preparing a permanent camp. On the third day, they started on their first hunting trip. It was very early in the morning, and the usual autumn chill was in the air. The leaves on the trees were just begin- ning to turn red and drop to the ground, presenting a picturesque sight as the hunters trudged quietly along. About nine o'clock, they came across a fresh moose trail, but, al- though they followed it until nearly sunset, they were not able to over- take their quarry. One good fortune resulted from the day's toil, however, for the moose had circled toward their camp, and when the hunters aban- doned his trail he was only about two miles from it. That night they erected a crow's nestf' that is, an inclined platform made of brushwood, amid the branch- of a tall tree, and after making a moose-call out of birch bark, they climbed up to their tree hut. Aftem it had grown to be very dark, the guide ,began to make long drawn-ou1 calls on his horn, and finally, after 2 very long period of waiting, a simila: noise was heard in the distance. Th4 call was repeated and the mooset answer drew nearer, until at last f crashing sound was heard near a hand, but not exactly from the direc tion from which they expected th moose to advance. Waiting until th Indian gave the word, the two hunter fired simultaneously. A roarin sound followed, and some huge an mal charged directly toward thei camp. At the same time anothe sound was heard from another poin' as another large animal dashed awa from the scene. You hit a prowling bearg moo: got away! Then came a crashing and rattlir noise, as the bear struck the row l kettles arrayed around the fire to dr Quiet followed, however, and tl bear was heard no longer. But in few minutes another sound could l distinguished-a dull, roaring soun As it increased in volume, J climbed hastily down from the ne: followed by his two companions, an The Blue sub white 25 hastened toward the camp. A shower of sparks met them and they were driven back. The bear had scattered the coals of the cooking iire among the dead leaves! Make for the raft I' made for crossing the river! shouted the guide to the hunters. He himself hurried again towards the camp, to get some necessary things, but it could not be reached. Quickly abandoning this attempt, he followed the other men, and crossed with them to the other side of the stream. No sooner had they landed than the trees began to burn on that side, sparks having blown across into them. Then Joe pushed the raft to the mid- dle of the stream, and let the current take it. Bump! bump! The raft swayed dangerously. Lay down flat! ordered the guide. The raft then began to go from one side of the stream to the other, plowing into rapids, bumping into rocks, and each time nearly tipping over. How long can -- Crash! went the float against a rock. Steer it ashore: we're nearing the Bend? The guide tried it, but the pole that he was using was not stout enough. Crack! and it was broken short off! Catch hold of the edges! cried the Indian, as the frail craft entered the Great Bend with the speed equal to an express train's. At times it bounced completely out of the water, and at other times it sank out of sight in the whirl of water. Thus it had made its way about half through the Bend, when it struck a snag, lurched to a. perpendicular position, and stuck solid. The three men were hurled into the water with great force. The two hunters were dashed upon the rocky shore, unhurt, but this good fortune failed the guide. Now unconscious, he continued his wild course down stream, shooting over rapids into the whirlpools at their base, rushing on until he finally was hurled ashore half a mile below the Bend. After a long hunt, his companions found him and restored him to health. To this day, he is the only man who ever went through the Great Bend, and lived to tell the story. I Thus the name Hazy-River Joe was bestowed on him, and even now he is known by no other. uf as It an s an In south-western Canada, about a hundred miles from the border, there is a very treacherous stream called Hazy River. Before power plants were established along its banks this river was noted for its very swift cur- rent and enormous stretches of rapids. The most dangerous part of the stream is at a place known as Great Bend. It is the most northern point of the river, and the point at which the stream turns and ilows southward. This place is made up of a series of tumbling rapids, uearlyhalf a mile in length, where the dark waters pour over immense rocks with a thunder- ing roar, throwing continuous showers of white spray many feet into the air. At this point the river is about a hundred feet in width, and its shores are lined with jagged cliffs, while its surface is dotted with snags. In parts of the Bend the water rushes over boulders so large that the roar can be easily distinguished long be- fore the stream is sighted. For the greater part of its length, this river ilows through endless forests which are inhabited by wild animals of all kinds, and the country is so wild and rugged that for many years it was visited only by Indians and a few of the more daring white men. Many times have men tried to 26 Qiibe Blue :mb white shoot these rapids, but up to the point of our story, no one has suc- ceeded, and those who have attempted it have either been drowned or killed by being dashed upon the rocks. O. S., '16. Tolly, the Amateur Detective JUNE 17. Now that school is closed, perhaps, I'll have time for my diary again. There's one thing about diaries-after you have kept one long enough, you see that things really do happen to you after all, even if you seem to be having a sort of dull time as you go along. And it's still worse when you have such an awful name as I have-Tolman Oourtenaye Smith, called Tolly for short. My mother got it out of a book. I suppose that's why none of the other boys have such names, but are just plain Tom orJim. I was twelve years old last week. QOne must always write numbers out in words, unless they are very big. Teacher says so.l I think it's about time I decided what Pm going to do when I grow up. I've thought of everything. There's dentists, and cowboys, and sailors, but I guess I'll be a detective, and what's more, I'm not going to wait till I get awful old. 1'm going to begin now, and hunt for clues and things, like Sherlock Holmes. A JUNE 20. It certainly is funny, but just as soon as I decided to be a detective, along came a mystery! To be sure, it wasn't like having a mur- der, or lots of diamonds stolen, but it's most as bad. Our big dog, Jip, has disappeared! Now, of course, Jip was kind of bad sometimes. Aunt Clare hates all kinds of dogs, and she always hated Jip, who felt a a similar dislike for her. He always barked when he saw her, and one day a while ago, he ran off with a whole leg of lamb which happened to be in the kitchen. But otherwise, Jip was a fine dog, at least we boys and Uncle John always thought so. We never would let him be punished, nc matter what he did. Jip and I were great friends. It seems kind of lone- some now. It has been two days since we have seen him. I thoughtl might as well begin practicing being a detective, so I looked around fo: foot-prints, but there so many every where in the road, that I gave it up Jip wouldn't wander away by himsel anyway. Probably somebody stolf him. JUNE 21. A clue at last! I wa out this morning with Tom Randal and we had a great time. He had half a dollar to spend, and there's on thing about Tom, he isn't a bit stingy Tom is fourteen, so he always ha more money to spend than I do, bu fifty cents, all at once, is a lot eve for him. But he said this wasn't any thing--it was only the remainder of whole dollar he earned three or for days ago. He absolutely refused 1 tell me how he earned it, even whe I said cross my heart and hope ' die. That was queer, for we haw always told each other secrets. B1 I don't care, I paid him back by n- telling him about being a big d tective. We were having a fine tin and then I began to tell him aboi poor Jip. I told him how Uncle Jol said held have the one that stole killed Jip arrested, if he could iii him. Just then Tom ,said he had Uribe Blue ani: white 27 go home, because he remembered his mother wanted him to do some er- rands for her. Look here, he said, I bet that dog got lost or something. I don't believe anyone killed him or anything. But he looked queer and hurried off. I wonder if he does know anything about Jip. I am going to watch out. JUNE 25. I had a queer dream the other night. I seemed to see Jip coming along toward me, wagging his tail just as he used to, and trying to make me follow him. I did so, and he led me out behind the barn,where the old Baldwin apple tree is, and began to paw the ground and bark, as though he knew something was hid- den there. Just as I began to dig, I woke up. All day I couldn't help thinking about Jip and the dream. Finally, I took a spade and went out by the tree, and I had just made a small hole when Iheard Tom shouting for me. I answered l1im and he came around the barn, but when he saw what I was doing, he turned awful white. Then he said, O, Tolly, please don't tell on me. Your aunt Glare gave me a dollar to do it, really she did. After that he told me the whole thing. How Aunt Clare hated all kinds of dogs, and was afraid of Jip, and so she hired Tom to kill him, but made him promise not to tell. But you found out, anyway, he said, so I had to tell you. Your aunt Glare knew your uncle would be mad if he found out, and so when you had all gone to the County Fair, I happened to find Jip asleep under this very tree. I ran home and stole some chloroform, and as soon as he was dead, I buried him right here. He didn't suffer any, truly. I told Tom I would never tell, I guess sometimes detectives do let their victims go free, anyway. Tom and I wrote an epitaph for J ip, beginning- Every dog must have his dayg Jip had his and passed away. We would have put up a board with this on it, but we knew it would be seen. and so we hid it in the hollow trunk of the tree. And now I am looking for more mysteries to solve and more clues to detect. MARIAN S. Hasmmon, '16. THE MAJOR'S ,BATTLES In a small New England town, there once lived a man called Major South. No one was aware that he had ever shouldered a musket, but, when he arrived in town, he told the stage driver about a great battle in which he had figured as major. So the stage driver introduced him as Major South, and Major South he re- mained. Now, this man had two hobbies. The first was to tell of his marvelous battles, and the second was to appear young. His hobbies soon became well known, for, as is the custom in all small towns, when they had noth- ing to do, all the men and boys sat around the country grocery store. Thither the major came every day and told of his great adventures. Oh! the many, many battles that man had engaged in! His recitals were interesting at first, but in time they grew monotonous. Yet no man, woman, or child would have dared breath a word of doubt concerning 28 mhz Blue ant white these tales, because of the major's terrible frown. His second hobby, as I have said, was to appear young. His hair was slightly gray, to be sure, but he was straight and tall, always well groomed, and his clothes were of the latest cut. He always attended the dances, nor did he sit by the stove and look on, as the old men did. Not he! He danced with the prettiest girls. None of them would have dared refuse, because of that terrible frown. Finally, a new family moved into town. Now, one of the members of this new family was a little lad of about seven years. Evey day since his arrival in town, he had sat on the bench at the grocery store, his elbows on his knees, and his chin in his hands, listening with wide-open eyes to the major's stories. Never before had the major entertained such an attentive listener. One day, as the boy was listening, a thoughtful look came over his face. He did not like to interrupt, but at length he could bear it no longer. Why, he said, you must be awful old, major. I've been counting up the battles, and you must be pretty nearly a hundred ! Everyone held his breath. Such a look spread over the major's features that the poor, little, innocent lad fled in terror. I am sure he did not stop until he was safe in his rnother's arms. The major stalked out of the store. He still attends the dances and is still called the major. But never since that eventful day has he ever mentioned the word battle. Bmralcu ANDEB SEN, '16. A KNIGHT FOR A NIGHT Henry Pownall was one whom for- tune had favored, in every sense of the word. After leaving college, he had entered the stock exchange on Wall Street as a clerk. Gradually, he invested what money he had, in a copper mine, paying six per cent. dividends, which soon advanced to ten per cent. At the age of thirty he had retired and become president of the W. dz M. Copper Syndicate,with a large income. With all this, however, he was not happy. He was unmarriedg in fact he never intended to marry, for in his college days, his faith in female tenderness had received a severe jolt, as his sweetheart had eloped with his roommate. But what did that mat- ter? he had often saidg they were probably living happily together. Mr. Pownall was of English birth: his grandfather had been in the English court, and it was his highest ambition to bear an English title. As he sat by the fireside one dark, cold night, smoking in comfort, his mind wandered back to the days which witnessed the deeds of his grand- father. While thinking of these ex- ploits, he ceased to draw on his pipe, his eyes closed, and he was soon in a deep slumber. In afew minutes he appeared be- fore the king of England, and was knighted for rescuing the princess from a band of German plotters. Then he was made lieutenant in the British army, and, after bidding the princess goodbye, he left for the front. He had been on the firing-line three weeks when he was wounded. During that time he had performed many brave deeds, such as piercing 'dlibe Blue aah white 29 the Kaiser's foot with his rusty sword, thereby causing blood-poisoning that would probably result in his death. Upon arriving at the hospital, he was visited by the king, who decorated him with the Victoria Cross, amidst the blowing of whistles, the ringing of bells and great shouting. At this point he awakened and was greatly disappointed in findingit all a dream, and that the confusion was caused by a fire. He stepped to the window and, much to his surprise, he saw that the hotel, a few blocks away, was ablaze. He lost no time in putting on his coat and hat, and in hastening to the scene of action. Such a fire! He had never before seen such a sight. Suddenly a cry arose from the spectators, as there appeared in a window of the third story, a woman crying for assistance, then she fell back, unconscious. Before the Hre- men could start to remove the ladders from the 'side of the building and place them against the front, Mr. Pownall had rushed into the burning hotel and, groping his way through the smoke, had begun the perilous ascent over the burning stairs. It seemed hours to him before he caught a glimpse of the prostrate form lying on the floor. When at last he found the woman, he seized her, rushed to the window, and with great difiiculty succeeded in putting her in the arms of the firemen, who by this time had placed the ladders against the wall. A great cheer arose from the crowd as the young woman reached the ground, followed by Mr. Pownall. The young woman was soon brought to and great was his surprise, when the rescuer found that he had saved his former sweetheart from the burn- ing building. After a few minutes' conversation, he led her to the near- est hotel, where she secured apart- ments. She related to him how her husband had been killed in a railroad wreck out West. ' A few days later they were quietly married and left on their honeymoon. When I next met Mr. Pownall, at a summer resort, he informed me that he bore the proud title of Daddy, which surpassed any English title ever held by his ancestors. EDWARD Pownns, '17. SHE WAS ONE OF THEM Oh, please, let her go, teased Angela. Please do. She'll like rolling around on the grass. Miss Phelps was to take the girls of her Sunday School class to spend the day in the park. It had occurred to Angela that it would do her little sister, Rosie, who had been ailing all summer, much good to go with them. Her mother at last consented. A group of girls had already assem- bled on the corner when Angela and Rosie appeared. They were passing comments on all the new arrivals. Here comes Marguerite, re- marked one. There's the new girl running to catch up with her, observed another. I don't believe Marguerite likes her very well, ventured a third. Well, I don't, anyway, declared Angela, with decision in her tone. When at last they were on the park grounds, nothing more was thought of or said about the New Girl, as she was called. Florence 30 Gite Blue Oonnerly had entered the class three or four weeks before this time, but she was still the New Girl. A half-past eleven a carriage ap- peared with the lunch baskets. When they were unloaded and placed in the shelter house, Miss Phelps said, Now we will take a look at the gardens and animals. Angela rushed to find Rosie, but no little voice answered her excited call. In a minute she knew why, for she espied Rosie curled up on one of the girl's coats, fast asleep. Angela stood looking at her with a feeling of regret. Oh, dear! she thought, I wish I hadn't brought her. She will spoil all my good time. Well, anyway, I will leave her here alone. She often sleeps a long time, and if she wakes up---but she won't. After the girls had gone on for some distance, Miss Phelps asked, ' 'Where's Florence? But no one seemed to know. I'm sure she started with us,'l said one, but no one except Miss Phelps seemed to care that she was no longer in their company. Angela was more silent than usual. The iiowers were not half so pretty nor the monkeys so amusing as she had anticipated. Her chief thought was of Rosie. Suppose she should wake up and wander off alone and get lost? It was now nearly two hours from ante white the time they had started out to see the sights. Angela walked on ahead of the others, walked so rapidly, in- deed, that her pace was almost a run. Two hours was a long time for a child to sleep in the early afternoon ! Sup- pose Rosie had waked up and tried to go home alone? Angela reached the shelter house with her heart in her mouth. She could tell the exact spot where Rosie had lain, but no Rosie was there. Then there came to her ears, it seemed to her at that moment, the sweetest sound she had ever heard-her little sister's laugh. There under the trees sat Rosie, as happy and contented as could be. with the New Girl. For once in her life, Angela. was ai a loss. She smiled at the Nev Girl, awkwardly, and finally she stammered, You-you didn't see the --animals? No, I did'nt like to leave the bab1 alone, explained Florence. Ann then seeing the iiush that mountec Angelafs face, she added quickly, liked staying. My little sister woulf have been about as big as she, if-i she had lived. When they took the car for hom that afternoon, Angela and Rosie an Florence-she was Florence now- occupied the same seat. To mor of the class than to Angela, Florenc had ceased to be the New Girl. She was one of them. Donornr N AsoN, '1' 1 77 How Henry Foolecl the Groundfhog Henry had a special reason for wishing for continuance of winter. This special reason was that he owned an ice rink. It was a new-fangled rink, built after the style which is peculiar to Canadian cities. It pleased the young people of Henry's tow who took great delight in skimmii over its glassy surface by day or nigh and for this pleasure, they were gl: to pay Henry five cents a spin. It is not strange, then, that ti Eb: Blue anh white 31 proprietor of the ice rink was worried when Oandlemas Day came around. All gamblers are more or less worried when they are playing with fate, and Henry was certainly playing with fate. Should warm weather come, his little enterprise would be ruined, and his purse would not fill so rapidly with bright,coins. As is well known, the chief weather prophet on this particular day of the year is Mr. Ground-Hog. Now, Henry had heard that if this prognosticator could not see his shadow on February second, he would desert his under- ground home and would stay out-of- doors, awaiting the warm weather that he felt was sure to come. Ac- cordingly, the boy was bound that the ground-hog's shadow should be visible on that day. When Henry awoke on Uandlemas morning, the ground was covered with snow and the flakes were falling. These conditions made Henry hurry into his clothes and out into the shed where his father always kept his paint and brushes. He selected a pail of black paint and started off across the fields toward the home of a well-known ground-hog. Mr. Wood- chuck was at home, sitting peacefully before his door, when his visitor ar- rived. He did not notice Henry, how- ever, as he crept stealthily up behind him and with quick strokes spread some of the black paint over the crusty surface of the snow in such a way that the image of a ground-hog appeared. After Henry had completed his task, he gave a shrill whistle. The ground-hog glanced around, saw his shadow on the ground, and at once darted back into his hole, there to remain until warm weather should come. But Henry's schemeiwas not wholly successful. The sun could not be stopped in his course, so day by day the ice in the rink dwindled away and Henry lost his source of income. To return evil for evil, Mr. Ground- Hog now has a nice, cosy home in the ground which was in the center of Henry's rink. OLARA M. JACOBSON, '17 . President Monroe's Visit to Westbrook During his administration, Presi- dent Monroe came to Westbrook for the purpose of seeing the remarkably large and handsome specimens of the Bakewet breed of cattle, owned by John Gordon. Mr. Gordon lived at that time in what is now called Stroudwater, and bearing at present the number 152 Westbrook Street. After riding about the suburbs of Portland, the President entered the village of Stroudwater, then a part of Westbrook, about six o'clock, Tues- day afternoon, July 15, 1817. He rode in a carriage, along a beautiful, decorated roadway, and was escorted by cavalry. He visited the farm- house of Mr. Gordon, looked at the Hue specimens of cattle and expressed his delight at seeing such remarkable stock. Then thanking Mr. Gordon for his manner of entertaining, he left the farmhouse and went his way to Portland. On this occasion of President Mon- roe's visit, over the bridge that spans the Stroudwater river, were twenty arches, festooned with evergreen and roses and connected with evergreen wreaths-one arch for each of the 32 mhz Blue ans white p nineteen states, with the name of the state in large, black letters at the top, and one as a symbol ofthe Union. Surmounting the twentieth arch was another, trimmed with evergreen and emblazoned iu front with nineteen brilliant stars. On either side of the way from the brow of the hill to the bridge, were placed ranges of small white pines, spruces, and larches, exhibiting to the eye the appearance of a flourish- ing green hedge and forming a beauti- ful mall for a distance of nearly a quarter of a mile. When the President arrived at the brow of the hill, he alighted from his carriage, descended the declivity and passed over the bridge on foot. As he was passing under the arches, a national salute was iired from the hill above. A live eagle, which had been cap- tured in Dole's woods, Stroudwater, peached upon the top of the twentieth arch, and under the canopy of the arch of stars by which it was sur- rounded, spread its wings and screamed lustily as the President passed beneath the arch. The real cause of the eagle's screaming was due to an iron brad fastened on a long pole manipulated by a boy concealed for the purpose among the decora- tions. The President then entered his carriage and rode to Portland, staying that night at the residence of Matthew Cobb, which stood on the site now occupied by the Y. M. O. A. building. During his stay in Portland, Presi- dent Monroe was royally entertained. and when he left for his home the following Thursday, he expressed much pleasure over his visit to the Province of Maine. ERNEST A. Lnrsnrou, '17 A TRAGEDY It was midnight. Without, all was dark. The stars glimmered faintly overhead, while the moon, as if know- ing what was to take place on the earth, had drawn a cloud over her face, that she might not witness the dreadful scene. Within the room, all was dark. Suddenly a man enters silently, bearing in his hand an electric flash- light which he turns in the direction of the bed, upon which reposes his unsuspecting victim. He advances a pace, then, at a slight stir, he hastily dims the light and stands motionless. Presently he turns on the light, and on tip-toes, cautiously approached the victim of his wrath. For a moment he gazes at the form on the bed, then anger arises within his breast as he recalls the many insults and injurie heaped upon him by the one now ii his powerg he remembers, too, hi countless futile attempts to wreal vengeance. Now his long-looked-fo opportunity has come, and he smile triumphantly as he stands thus ove his enemy and prepares to deal th death blow that shall mete out retri bution for all his suierings. The Whistle of the midnight expree passing through the village rouse him from his reverie. He raises hi right hand. and the dim electric ligl falls for a moment upon the murde: ous weapon. Then he directs th light downward upon his victim, an measures the distance with his ey- calculating the force necessary f1 the death-dealing blow. Satisiiedi Ebe i3Iue ant bite 33 this, he rises to his full height, and with all the might of his strong right arm brings the weapon down upon the poor unfortunate, who dies with- out uttering a sound. The murderer pauses for a moment, looking down upon the remains, and utters the single Word, Revenge Then he silently glides from the room, leaving THE CHEAP Ever since Bob Owen and his mother had moved to the little Massachusetts poultry farm, where they had gone because of the consumptive condition of Mrs. Owen, Bob had longed for a fur coat. Nothing but the best, how- ever, would satisfy him, and with his sick mother to care for, such a coat was a greater luxury than he co ld afford. But one day the unexpected happened. Mrs. Owen's brother, a bluff, Cana- dian farmer, paid the family a visit. He appeared at the house wearing a coat of the thickest, heaviest, finest fur that Bob had ever seen and his admiration for it knew no bounds. At dinner Uncle Jim told them of life on his farm. I am having much trouble with bears this year, he said. They have carried oifl six of my best lambs. But then, he added, I have kept even with them, for I have shot seven. 'Seven! gasped Bob. What do you do with them? i Well, for one thing, replied Uncle Jim, laughing, I had a fur coat made out of the largest skin. You don't want a skin, do you, Bob? he inquired. You could have a coat made out of it very cheaply. Needless to say, Bob enthusiastical- ly accepted the offer, and in due time the victim of his wrath as a warning to all who should dare insult him. The next morning, as the family was seated at the table, the son of the house, who had attended a ball the night before, rushed into the dining-room and exclaimed, Say, ma, you should have seen the big mosquitol killed last night on my bed. ELBEM E. S'rnAnNs, '16. FUR COAT the skin arrived. Delighted, Bob carried it to an old furrier, who, be- cause of his habits of drink, had long ago given up steady employment. He promised Bob, for the sum of ten dollars, to convert the skin into the best coat he had ever seen. The coat was finally done, and Bob, in high excitement, carried it home, Where he donned it and proceeded to explain to his mother its many merits. And just think, mother, how cheap it is, he kept repeating. Bob wore the coat for several -days, much to his own satisfaction and to the envy of his friends. One morning after it had been in his possession for about a week, he donned it and set out to drive Dobbin to the nearest village with their weekly load of eggs. Dobbin was of great age, very fat, and exasperatingly lazy, but at length they arrived at the village, where Bob began to deliver his goods. Meanwhile, a light rain had begun to fall, and he noticed that as his coat became wet, an unpleasant odor of bear began to come from it, due, as he feared, to improper dressingg so he determined to see the furrier before he went home. But he was not des- tined to do so: for as he was about to step into the Wagon, Dobbin turned, sniifed the coat, gave a bound, Hing- 34 Gb: Blue aut white ing Bob and his load of eggs into the gutter, and fled. Bob, who did not realize that the coat was the cause of Dobbin's fear, would not have been more surprised had he seen their aged and dignified Methodist minister iiing his hat into the air and then turn handsprings. However, he ran in pursuit of the horse, but he did not overtake him, and was obliged to walk the four miles home, wearing his heavy coat. When he arrived, he found his mother in a state of great excitement, trying to soothe the foam-covered Dobbin. Bob hastened toward her, when Dob- bin, again smelling the coat, tore loose from Mrs. Owen's grasp and iied through the Helds, with Bob and his mother in anxious pursuit. The old horse ran with all his might, leaped a ditch, and in attempting to run be- tween two trees caused the wagon tc be held fast. But Dobbin, freeing himself, leaped a stone wall into the road and fied with increased speed. As Bob and his mother reached the wreck, Mrs. Owen suddenly smelled the coat, and exclaimed Why, Bob! what is the matter witl your coat? Well, said Bob, gaz ing at the wrecked wagon and the fas' disappearing Dobbin, I guess tha furcoat wasn't so cheap after all. EBVIN JoHNsoN, '16 THE COVVARD Steve Pearson was the proud pos- sessor of a pretty, agreeable young wife, two sweet children and a very happy, attractive home. Steve ap- preciated his home life fully and con- tributed his share of love and protec- tion in a genuine, whole-hearted manner that made him a model hus- band. Steve was a chauffeur in the em- ploy of a rich old miser who had gold enough to pave a roadbed from his gloomy old mansion to his soul's Bnal resting place, wherever that might be. But in spite of his employer's great wealth, Steve's pay was only moderateg consequently, much to his regret, his wife and children were denied many luxuries. The one thing, however, which the miser willingly spent money for was automobiles. He owned two, the best in the country. He was very particular about them and demanded that his chauffeur give them the best of attention. On certain nights Steve was obliged to sleep at the garage t see that they were not stolen. It wa on one of these nights that his own an his family's name was branded with mark that burned deep with humilif tion. Everybody, for miles arouni knew about the stigma, which was a convincing as it was unjust. On this fateful night, Steve donne his hat and coat, kissed his wife an children good-bye, and left with rr luctance for his lonesome night 4 guard duty. When reaching tl garage, thinking that there was sma danger of anyone attempting to ste the autos, Steve went to his room ul stairs, and about as soon as he he stretched himself out on the couch l was fast asleep. He had slept, pe haps an hour, when he was sudden aroused by stealthy sounds benea' him. He started to investigate, on to find the door held by someoi without. He could easily have forc- it open and, in fact, was gathering 1 his strength to do so when the i Eb: Blue auh white 35 truder calmly informed him that it meant death to open that door. Yet this announcement meant nothing to Steve, for he was no phy- sical coward. He was preparing for his dash and in another minute he would have forced the door, had not a vision appeared before his eyes. He saw his wife and children waiting eagerly for him to come home. He pictured their grief if he failed to re- turn. What mattered it if this old miser did lose his machines? They were of no consequence to him aside from a certain pride which he had in being the possessor of the best. But, argued Steve, if I go through that door and am killed, shall not I myself be a robber, in depriving my family of its only means of support? And, on the other hand, if I do nothing, shall I not be branded as a coward? Yet so paltry did this form of coward- ice seem in comparison with the other that he decided to do nothing. Ac- cordingly, he sat on his couch and listened to the bnrglers start the machines and drive off:into the night. He then went to spread the alarm and tried to explain matters, but the more he talked, the more convinced the people became of his cowardliness. The next morning the autos were recovered, but Steve's name became a byword. Even his wife felt the disgrace when the women on the street ceased to speak to herg the children, at school, were taunted by their playmatesg and Steve was given a wide berth by everyone except the miser, who, strange to say, did not discharge him, a fact that was doubt- less due to his previous service, which had been faultless. However, trouble which slips into one's life so easily, will, if fate so rules, slip out as smoothly as it en- tered. And the results are some- times so good that it seems as if we are repaid for the inconvenience forced upon us, just as we are paid for any life work. And so it was with Steve. One day he and his employer were riding along one of the smooth high- ways at a very slow rate, when sud- denly a masked and armed man stepped in front of the machine and ordered them to stop. He then sprang onto the running-board and bade Steve move on, telling him to the first road to the right, which Steve knew led through dense woods. That road was a good half-mile away and Steve was doing some rapid thinking. The man had said nothing after giving his orders, but, as Steve's foot touched the accelerator, he casually remarked that it was a Hue car. This gave Steve an idea and he quickly asked the man if he would like to see what the car could do. The man made no answerg so Steve nursed the big machine along, at first, very slowly, but with ever increasing speed. The man could not help ex! pressing his admiration for the machine as it swiftly ate up the road. This encouraged our hero and he opened the throttle wide. They were now speeding along a ridge, with deep gullies on each side, at the rate of sixty and soon seventy miles an hour. Presently Steve re- laxed in his seat and let his hands rest lightly on the steering wheel. Then, without removing his eyes from the road, he asked the man if he realized the rate at which they were traveling. When he replied in the negative, Steve informed him, and added, Now, while going at this speed, if I should, for any reason, take my hands from this wheel for 36 H Ciba Blue the smallest fraction of a second, you, of course, know what would be our fate. Now, then, I decided to go straight by that road, in fact, it is far behind us. Furthermore, I shall drive, at this same speed, right up to the door of the village police station. If you wish to shoot, do sol Steve had not misjudged his man. He was of the same cowardly class that infest our reformatories and pen- itentaries, brave only when the odds are all in their hands. Steve's calm and decisive words, and his apparently careless manner in driving, caused the highwayman to break down and beg him to slow BIIU whit! up. But there was no call for this excessive fear, as Steve had never had better control of the machine in his life. The miser had been a silent lob- server of what had occurred, but now that the affair was over, his tongue was loosedg so were the strings of his money bags, too. What a man wit- nesses with his own eyes, is stamped on his mind for good, and nothing can change it. The miser realized that Steven Pearson was no coward and never had been. Here was positive proof of the fact and he lost no time in refuting far and near the charge against his brave chauffeur. SHIRLEY M. Lnrcnron, '16. AMBlTlON'S REVVARD Ambition was born in the West. As a young man he was rugged, very determined, and possessed much con- fidence in himself. Moreover, he was always looking for a chance to win fame and to make his way in the world. One day when he was out riding he heard the sounds of shooting. Riding toward the sounds, he came upon a group of men talking excitedly. He asked them what the trouble was and they told him that an outlaw was hidden under a ledge and was. con- cealed by rocks. They had long tried in vain to capture him and were about to give up. Ambition said he would get the man, and his offer was accepted. Accordingly, he took two men with him and after making a detour, he came to the top of the legde above the outlaw. He was then lowered by the two men till he was behind the outlaw. Leaping upon him, he knockhd the gun out of his hand. A desperate struggle en- sued, but Ambition was the younger and stronger, so he finally overcame the outlaw. The men rewarded the victor by electing him sheriff. Ambition wrote an account of his adventure and sent it to an eastern newspaper. It was well written and so much impressed the editor that he oifered him a place on his staff. Am- bition seized this opportunity, re- signed his oiiice, and went to the establishment where he was assigned a desk, and his work as a reporter be- gan: His advance in the oiiice was very rapid, because of his wonderful ability and determination. He was soon introduced into society. One oi his acquaintances, a banker, by the name of Thrift, had a very beautiful daughter, Faith. From the first, she was very much interested in Am- bition, and enjoyed his company. She rejected Friendship, an excelleni young man, a tried and true friend oi the family. Ambition and Faith were 'Ebt Blue mth white 37 finally engaged. Friendship did not withhold his congratulations, for, al- though he was unhappy, he was glad to see Faith happy. Too manly to brood over his disappointment, Friendship decided to travel, and when taking leave of Faith and her father, he told them if ever they were in trouble, to call on him. Both recognized his sincere good-will and thanked him heartily, Some weeks later, the banker was sitting in his ofiice one day when Despair, one of the employees of the bank, came to him and showed him a mistake, in the accounts, of such a serious nature that it would cause the bank to fail if it was found out. The banker was greatly troubled and was trying to End a Way out of the diiiiculty when Temptation entered. He showed the banker and Despair an easy way out of their predicament, through a scheme for concealing the mistake. For a long time the banker hesitated to adopt the plan, but finally he yielded to Temptation, as many are apt to do. Meanwhile, the newspaper manage- ment of The New York Times was considering the selection of a new editor. The choice lay between one of the old hands and Ambition. One night the retiring editor and Am- bition were dining in a public restau- rant. It happened that Despair was seated at the same table and from free indulgence in wine he was very talkative. In the course of the con- versation, he told them all about the trouble at the bank. The discerning editor saw a chance to boom his paper, and, as they left the restaurant, he told Ambition that if he would write up that story he would be promoted toeditor. Ambition, thinking only of himself, and not of the trouble which the exposure would bring upon Faith's father, hastened to the office and did his best. The publication, the next morning, caused, of course, a panic at the bank. Men and women fought to get their money out before it was too late. The next day Ambition visited Faith and found her and her father in utter dejection. With no suspicion that he was the guilty one, Faith asked her betrothed who wrote the heartless account that ruined her father. Too late, Ambition realized his mistake and he could not blame Faith when she ordered him to leave the house, never to come again. While Ambition was at Faith's home, Friendship was landing from a steamer. He heard the newsboys shouting Extra! and bought a paper, On the first page, in large type, was the story of the failure of the bank. Knowing what this meant to Faith and her father, he rushed to the bank, where he found several of the directors, and asked them how much money would be needed to save the bank. They told him, and he realized that by giving his entire for- tune, he could restore the bank to its good tanding. Without hesitating at the great sacrifice, he gave the directors permission to use his money. From the bank he went to see the unfortunate banker. On his way, he met Ambition walking with downcast head, and his face told the tale of his blasted hopes. When Friendship entered the banker's house, he was admitted to the room where Faith was sitting alone. He asked at once that he might see her father, and together they sought him, reaching his door just in time to stop him from shooting himself. Just then the telephone 38 Mhz Blue rang and a message came from Hope, an employee of the bank, that Friend- ship, by sacrificing his fortune, had saved the bank. Faith and her father were overjoyed and moved to tears of gratitude at the nobility of their Q . Y? ani: white friend. When Friendship departed, Faith followed him to the door, and, as he said good-bye, he read in her eyes the promise of her love. EBEN L. HULIT, '16.

By the Ringsias Reporter of BLUE a Wim-E Wl.en it became officially known that Harry Corbett, the Irish Whirl- wind would battle with Alphonse Dancause, the French Terror, for the Fresh.-Soph. championship, excite- ment ran high. The big fight was staged on the Warren League Grounds and was scheduled to open at 2 o'clock. Doc Rideout, that ever pop- ular referee, was selected to have charge of the ceremonies. Long be- fore 2 o'clock the grounds were packed. At 1.45 the French Terror entered the ring. He made an irn- pressive appearance, wearing the French tri-color around his waist, and he-was given a great ovation. He was followed by his trainer, Doc Powers, and by Sam Guimond. At 1.56K Whirlwind Corbett en- tered the ring. As he leaped over the ropes, he tripped and slid half- way across the ring, the Westbrook City Band playing Hail, the Con- quering Hero, in the meanwhile. Corbett was followed by his trainer, CHE Winslow and by Doc Witham. At exactly 2 p. m., the fighters shook hands, and the bell clanged. At the same moment twenty-two moving picture operators started to take the tight films, which will be shown exclusively at the Star. THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS. Round 1-Corbett swung wildly with his right, Dancause ducked and the blow knocked Doc Rideout out of the ring. The fight was called until the referee regained consciousness. Corbett then rushed Dancause to the ropes and was hitting hard when the bell rang. Corbett's round. Round 2-The fighters circled cau- tiously, Corbett chasing Dancause around the ring. Dancause turned and uppercut with his left, slapping Corbett severely on the wrist. Cor- bett retaliated by patting his op- ponent heavily on the back. Dan- cause's round. Round 3-The fighters at once clinched. Dancause wrapped his arms around Corbett's neck, and by mistake, slapped his own face rather severely. Corbett then broke away, shut his eyes and started slugging viciously. His blows hurt only the air, however, as Dancause had retired to his corner to get a drink of water. 42 Ghz Blue Creeping up behind Corbett, who was still swinging wildly, he handed him a terrific wallop, throwing him to the ropes. The bell saved Corbett. Dan- cause's round. Round 4-After much maneuvering the fighters clinched, Corbett biting Dancause's ear. The French Terror at once retaliated by attempting to choke his opponent. Doc Rideout tried to separate the combatants but was unsuccessful. A riot call was sent in, and after the Militia was called out the men were separated. No damage was done. No decision was given. After the fight each man expressed the opinion that he had won and de- manded his money. No money was to be had, however, as Doc Rideout had grabbed it all 65.985 and fled to the wilds of South Windham, where hehas hidden himself. M. O. W..'17. Srnmmsnrs ON SACRED AND SECULAR LITERATURE. 'Sinia was Abraham's wife. Joshua was the man who took Jericho, the fighter. Jehovah was the son of Adam and Eve. The tower of Babel was built on Mt. Sinia in order to escape the next Hood. Isaac sacrificed Abraham on Mt. Ararat. ann white Know one new the exact place where Moses was buried. Jephthah was one of Isaac's sons. Upon her arrival in Judah, Ruth went into the sheathing Held, and later she married Rahab. Jehovah was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Exodus was a version of the Bible made by seventy-two Jews. Egypt's preparativeness for the fam- ine enabled Joseph to supply corn to his father. 'Jacob sod pottage' means that he gathered herbs. The kinds of questions not suitable for argument are those which do not contain unity, coherence, and empha- sis. I Other plays of Shakespeare were historical novels.

The services of Happy Hogan, last year's coach, had been secured and they hoped for a successful season. A squad of twenty-five had reported for practice, with but two of them, Hawkes and Guimond, veterans, but the new men became valuable under Coach Hogan, and in playing but twelve games of a schedule of twenty-two, the team gained seven victories. The schedule follows : , w.H.s. opp. Dee. 4-fA1umni at Westbrook, 26 35 Dec. 11-G. N.

When applied to the acquisition of a business education it means that if you are the possessor of a High School education, have ambition to succeed in life, and the necessary perseverance to stick to a thing until it is completed, nothing can hinder you from reaching your goal. We propose to give you three concrete examples of the success of young men who were possessed of these three qualities, and who are certainly examples of which any school should be proud. We name these three individuals because recent incidents have called the writer's attention to the fact that they have been successful. We could give hundreds, but these will be sufficient to bring out the strongest feature of the argument, that is, the greatest success is not always to those who are possessed of the most brilliant minds, because the writer can testify that none of these men at the time they entered The Shaw Business College showed by their previous records, or their work while here, that they were more capable than a large majority of- our students are. They were, however, possessed of these three qualities and made the most of their opportunities. No. I entered here from a small town in the eastern section of this state where he had been employed in a grocery store at a salary of 58.00 per week. His means were limited, so he was obliged to make two trials before completing the course. Immediately after graduating, he became bookkeeper for a large manu- facturing concern in Massachusetts and, once started, he stuck to it. He is today sales manager for that concern with a salary one-third as large as that of the Pres- ident of the United States. No. 2 entered here from another state where he had been employed as news agent on one of the railroads. He also, made the most of his opportunities and at the end of his course of study took up office work as his best chance for success. He is now accountant for a large manufacturing concern in Canada, drawing a salary of S2500 per year. My informant, in speaking of him, fnot knowing that he was a graduate of this lnstitutionj said, He is the smartest man at figures l ever saw. To be frank about the matter, the writer has seen hundreds who were apparently much smarter than this young man was upon entering this Institution. No. 3 had followed the sea before entering here, but being ambitious to better ais condition, decided upon a Commercial Course. After leaving, he returned to :he sea until the opening which he was looking for came. He grasped the op or- :unity and his perseverance has won success, if that can be measured by doiiars and cents, because he has accumulated a fortune in his business ventures. We might go on and enumerate case after case, but we have cited enough to :rove our statement-that success is assured by Preparation, Ambition and Perse- ferance. Without these qualities the young person will drift around like a vessel vithout a rudder. He may reach his destination, but is more likely to land on the ocks. it is important, then, for the young person about to start out in life to re- member that while we may not all be possessed of brilliant minds we can acquire hese three qualities necessary for success. Are you interested? We shall be lad to hear from you. Sincerely yours, THE SHAW BUSINESS COLLEGE. By F. L. SHAW.
