Some years ago, though days it seems, Found some few children then in their dreams. But as the years went fleeting on These same few children now have grown. Of course these children went to school And studying hard complied with rules And later tho ' they all did say They ' d thank these good old rules some day. For just as this big world has run So start these children just begun. From babes, to school then out to life Where does exist the worst of strife. Tis like some mountaineer begun To climb a mountain just for fun ; And half way up the mountainside A log lies o ' er a chasm wide. The day is warm, the sun shines bright, And so begins his task so light. But ah ! alas ! as night comes on This gloomy darkened chasm dawns. But no retreat can now be made And shall he cross it not afraid, To gain the height for which he strove Or will he fall to death below? Just as this man ' s success hangs now, So does this young class hang. For we are all like swimmers in the sea, Poised on the top of a huge wave of fate Which hangs uncertain to which side to fall; And whether it will heave us up to land Or whether it will roll us out to sea, We know not and no search will make us know, Only the event will teach us in its hour.

THE TOTEM ii THE WHITE ARROW ' ' What do you think Japan means by sending spies over to these isl- ands? ' ' asked Lieutenant White of Admiral De-wey . They seem to be very anxious about something. I saw several Japs taking photograplis of the forts and garrisons the other day. I don ' t know what makes them so inquisitive just now, responded the admiral, but I fear they are not taking .these photos for mere me- morials of these islands. Nor are we the only ones who are puzzled con- cerning their actions. Yesterday I saw a Jap come up to Fort Washington in a row boat, went on the lieutenant, and, judg- ing by the bold and determined way in which he went to work measuring the walls and guns of the fort, he thought he was not in sight of the ship. He went over the walls with some kind of an instrument- and, after completing this work, he took some chalk or paint and made vari- ous signs on certain parts of the wall. One larger than the rest caught my eye ; it was a long arrow which pointed toward the water. This seemed to be the most important be- cause of its size and position. Where were all the men at the fort, that he could do all this without attracting attention? asked the ad- miral. I don ' t know how lie knew that on that day and at that time he would •find the fort vacant, as the whole gar- rison was out target practicing with the other garrisons of the island. It looks suspicious, for he evidently knew this before he came. Lower a boat at once and we will go over and see what he has left on those walls, ordered the admiral. A boat was equipped and in motion towards Fort Washington in an in- credibly short time, for the Oregon was one of the most efficient men-of- war on the blue waters. President Taft had ordered Ad- miral Dewey, who had been retired, to the Philippine Islands about six months before this event. The ad- miral was commanded to make a re- port of the present condition of the navy there, and also to look after the naval affairs of these islands until the Mexican trouble was over. The Oregon had been in the harbor of Manilla for about a week before this occurrence took place. The Japanese had been sending men over there ever since the beginning of the Mexican rebellion (about two years before). At first they had tried to gain the friendship of the natives and Ameri- cans. It was not long until they car- ried cameras under their coats, tak- ing snap-shots of things that would interest their military geniuses. They 12 THE TOTEM soon became intimate enough with the natives to inquire concerning - the number of men, guns and other equip- ments of the forts. However, the in- cident of the day before was the bold- est manoeuvre as yet discovered by the Amercians. When the boat reached the fort the men there had already assembled and were discussing the meanings of the marks and signs which they had dis- covered the night before on returning from their practice. The admiral made a careful study of these signs. He found the arrow pointed to the water, which had attracted Lieutenant White ' s attention. In rowing up to this mark for closer inspection, the oars struck something under the water This something proved to be a copper wire, one end of which was fastened to a hook inserted in the wall of the fort about a foot below the surface of the water, the other to something very firm at the opposite end. The crew followed it to find, if possible, to what it was fastened. To their surprise it led across the har- bor directly towards the Oregon. On the other side of the man-of-war they found the wire again. Get a diver ready as quickly as possible and see where that infernal wire goes under this man-of-war, ordered the admiral excitedly. In a few moments a diver had dis- appeared under the ship. About five minutes later ho returned to the sur- face. That copper wire, he began, is fastened to a cylinder about ten inches in diameter and three feet long. By means of these wires this cylinder is held in place about fifteen or twenty feet from the surface. I could not loosen it with the tools ' I had, but will get some more, loosen it and examine the contents. Not while this man-of-war is within half a mile of it, shouted the admiral. Man, do you know what that cylinder contains 1 ? It answers to the rixact description of an ar- rangement for blowing up the capitol that was being tested by some anarch- ists in the United States. But they were discovered. If this cylinder is struck by a submarine traveling at a terrible rate of speed, it will cause an explosion that will not leave enough of this vessel to keep as a memento. All hands on deck and get out of this place as soon as possible. The admiral had hardly said this, when out across the hai ' bor and the ocean, arose a deep hollow roar, as though some great toi-rent had sprung up from the bottom of the sea and was bearing down upon them. Every second it grew louder and more ter- rible. Shouts of horror were heard from those on the mighty Oregon, m their anxiety to get from that place. The engines were soon sending the spray and foam behind as they rushed away at the ship ' s topmost speed. They saw as it drew near to them that the approaching horror was a submarine. It was going directly to t he place where the Oregon had been a minute or so before. It left a white furrow as it rushed madly on to that awful explosive in the cyl- inder. The men on the Oregon, by THE TOTEM 13 this time a mile away, watched for the results of this collision. Straight to the cylinder, as if drawn by magic, rushed the submarine and with a bound it seemed to jump to its de- struction. The instant the submarine struck the cylinder torrents of water were thrown high into the air. Fall- ing in a showery downpour, they lefl the air full of feathery mist. Even the Oregon gave a bound forward t s the explosion occurred. The men stood staring at each other white faced and trembling as they thought of the terrible death they had just escaped. It was Ad- miral Dewey who broke the silence by saying: We all owe our lives and happi- ness to Lieutenant White. If he had not seen that Jap when he did, wo would all have been blown to pieces. I shall make a report to President Taft concerning this affair and shall see that the lieutenant gets a gold medal as a trophy of his faithful serv- ice to the United States and his fellow sailors. And the whole crew responded with a hoarse cheer for Lieutenant White. DEAN PATTISON ' 11. What happened during Senior recitations : Our principal is a lovely man But once he made a blunder: He went to shut the stove up tight And blowed us most to thunder. Mr. Kinnick — Hand in your excuse for coming to school today, before you ao to class. AS THE SENIORS SEE THE TEACHERS. Guess Who ' s Who.

THE TOTEM 15 THE LYNX Winter was approaching hard and fast in Ontario, a southern Canadian province. It was now about three months since Ned Harding ' and his two sisters, Mabel and Helen, had plunged into this wilderness, cut of which they carved the hut of unhewn logs and sod roof. One evening as Ned was slowly plodding homeward to his scanty meal after chopping wood all day, he was surprised to find his city cousin, Sam Alder. Sam intended staying all win- ter, and besides bringing with him the fine new shotgun which he had just received as a birthday present, he brought a dozen chickens; these would afford them some food in case the wild game grew scarce. Each day while Ned would be cutting wood, Sam would take his shotgun in quest of food; this he seldom obtained, for he never ventured farther away than the sound of Ned ' s axe: and although flocks of wild pigeons daily flew over, still they seemed to know the exact range of the old-fashioned shotgun and would rise in noisy circles before he got close enough to fire. It ' s high time we had some fresh meat, said Ned, one morning. He took down the large old-fashioned, brass-mounted rifle, and taking de- liberate aim against the door sill, fired. The woodchuck that was sitting on a large stump fell backward and lay still. Sam ran to the place and returned in triumph with the animal. But woodehueks were aol the Larg- est game in these backwoods. About one mile from Ned ' s home was a large, overgrown basswood which ' uid recently fallen and its hollow trunk afforded a sheltering home for the mother lynx and her brood. She was old and gaunt, for a rabbit plague the autumn before had swept off the most of their support; nothing was left for her but the partridges and red squir- rels, which were hard to catch. One day she heard a queer voice calling, and upon taking the direction whenee it came, hoping that she might find something new for her half-starved kittens, she got many new odors. She soon came to a clear place where there were many weeds and stumps; walk- ing about on a dry knoll were a num- ber of partridges, that is, birds like partridges, only larger and of vari- ous colors. All her nature was aroused; the old huntress sank to the earth. She must have one of the partridges at any price; no trick must be untried. She sneaked from stump to stump. Finally a huge white bird wandered behind the weeds near by. Five more silent steps and the mother lynx was behind the weeds. She gauged tiie distance, tried the foot- ing, and leaped straight with ail her force. The white bird never knew 16 THE TOTEM • . • .JC ft) « ..v . - Hill _t r i -™ r rl Hi 1 1 R THE TOTEM 17 the death it died; even before the a large creature like a big bob-tailed others bad time to fly the lynx was kitten appeared and Looked Lnquir- gone with its prey squirming in its ingly at him.

He was in despair Half an hour after seeing this lonely when his eves lighted on the chickens deer as he passed the huge basswood, in the stable. There were only torn- i; THE TOTEM now, and lie had only three charges of ammunition left. These four chickens lasted for two more weeks; at the end of this time there was but half a chicken between them and starvation, and no sign of Ned. On the day of the last chicken Sam was all morning carrying water enough for the fever that night. That night his fever was worse than ever; in the gray dawn he was awakened by a curious sound not far away from his bed, a splashing of water. He turned his head to see two glaring eyes within a foot of his face. Sam gazed in horror for a moment, then closed his eyes ; surely he was dream- ing. He tried to find his voice but could only mutter. In the morning he did not know whether it had been a delirium or not but he made a feeble attempt to stop up the hole under the lowest log with some firewood, where the lynx had entered the house. TI13 food that day was flour and water; all the am- munition being gone, he laid the old fish spear by the bedside. That night as before he heard the same splashing of water and saw the glowing eye- balls. He aiose and slowly called out, Helen! Mabel! The lnyx— here ' s the lynx again! May God help you, for we can ' t, was the answer. He tried to scare the beast away, but it leaped on the table and stood up growling over I he useless gun. He struck a match and lighted the pine- root candle, and took the old fish spear, meaning to fight, but he had to use it as a crutch. 3 1 is knees were smiting together, but he made a feeble lunge toward the brute. It sprang at the same moment, not at him but under th e bed. Sr.m then set the torch on the table and took his weapon in both hands. He steadied himself with a great effort and plunged the spear with all the force he could give it. A hideous snarl came forth. The spear struck some- thing soft and Sam threw all his weight upon the weapon. But at this moment the rotten spear head broke off and the beast sprang out of the window. Sam fell on the bed and lost con- sciousness. He lay there he knew not how long, but was awakened in broad daylight by a loud voice, ' ' Hello ! Hello! Are you all dead? Sam! Helen ! Mabel ! ' ' Sam told Ned the story of how the lynx had visited them, and stolen their bacon and chickens. Well, you got even with her, and Ned pointed to the trail of blood across the floor. Good food, nursing and medicine restored them all. A month later when the girls wanted a new barrel Sam said, I know where there is a hollow basswocd as big as a hogs- head. He and Ned went to the place, and when they had cut off what they needed they found at the far end of it the dried-up bodies of two lynx kittens with that of the mother. By the side of the old one was the head of a fish spear broken from the handle. —WILLIAM JACKSON ' 12. THE TOTEM 19 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY. ■■ Muldoon ' s Blunders, a force in three ' acts, was presented by the Junior class Thursday evening, .Jan. 12. at the opera house ' . Although this was the iirst attempt of the Juniors in the thespian arts, a laige audience joined in commendation of the work of each character. The play was a success from every standpoint, and when the same class gives its final Eigh School play next year, all may expect an evening of pleasure and pi otit. Sterling Hedges and Warren Man- ders carried the house with their Dutch and Irish jokes. Beatrice Hedges won everyone by a practical joke on her father. The count and Juliana did themselves honor also. Widen MeGreevy did fine and Harry Parrott made a good preacher. Toby Twilight will become a future John- son if he keeps in practice. A large part of the success Avas due to the ability of Mr. Spencer, who trained the cast. The proceeds were $101. which was paid on the piano debt ami the library fund. POPULAR SONGS AMONG THE JUNIORS. One of the late parties was given March 23 at the home of Miss Laura N . where the faculty and Junior class gathered for one of the best social affairs of the year. One of the many events of the evening was the auction of bundles which con- tained prizes. M. .M. Gone But Not Forgotten. .1. W. — Happy is the Miller. A. II. (all Me l ' p Some Rainy Afternoon. V.

Milts and miles away toward the horizon be eould see a long dark line which he knew to be the great forest, and be- yond the dark forest Little Hawk knew tli.it Silver Bell and Singing Bird were awaiting his return in their little log cabin. The wind arose and blew playfully around Little Hawk and aroused him from his meditations. ••Heap far to go tonight, he mut- tered in broken English, looking down at some object at his feet, that was nearly covered by the long prairie grass. It was bis pony — one of its lens was broken and an arrow stuck in its heart. The unfortunate beast had stepped into a gopher hole and had broken its leg; its owner had pat an end to its suffering with the kind but fateful arrow. The sun went down and with the daikness came the night chill. Little Hawk drew his buckskins closely about him. lifted a bag containing provisions from the ground to his shoulders, and set out with a nois: ' - less step in the direction of the dusky line on the horizon. Over the great forest the wind shrieked and shook the great oaks and pines as if they had been the merest saplings. It flew from the forest to a little cabin in the clearing, and flung itself with such terrible force against the unshuttered win- dows that the inmates of the cabin were aroused from their sleep and I he cry of an infant arose from with- in. A light soon shone in the window and an Indian mother could be dis- cerned in the pale radiance rocking a baby in a. crude cradle. The wind was not the only one who peeped through the window and saw the mother croning to her babe. A weary traveler looked through the window and the bright tire in the fireplace seemed to beckon to him. The wind whistled rudely in his ears and a feeling akin to homesickness came over him. The Indian woman ceased roeking the cradle and listened when the door rattled. Could it be someone knock- ing 1 ? No; it was surely but the wind. But the knock came again, loudly and more imperatively than before. Maybe Little Hawk come back. the woman said, so she arose and opened the (h or. But no; it was uot Little Hawk. A stranger, dressed in Indian garments, stood on the thresh- old ami coarse black hair hung down to his shoulders; but for all that face wa.s as refined as that of a white man. and when be spoke he employed the purest id ' English. Good woman, mav I spend the nighl here . ' ' he asked. Silver Bell she no make nobody g ' way. ' the squaw replied, open- 22 THE TOTEM ing the door wide and hospitably bid- ding her guest enter. The wind be- came strangely quiet, as if it wished to hear what this man would say to his hostess. 1 am Silver Bell; this Little Hawk ' s home, and her (indicating the baby) Singing Bird. 1 am Mudwayanshka and I come from the rising sun and I go to meet my squaw. I shkoodah over where the sun sinks in the sea. As he finished speaking the wind burst into a wild and derisive shriek, as if to ridicule him. Little Hawk he go to white man ' s village to trade; me not know why he no here yet. A troubled look came into Silver Bell ' s face as she glanced out of the window into the inky dark- ness. She had scarcely finished speaking when for the second time that night she was summoned to the door to let in some belated traveler. This surely is Little Hawk this time, said Silver Bell, as she un- locked the door. Her supposition was correct, for when she opened the door a tall Indian, dressed in buckskin and hearing a bag on his shoulder, entered. The hostess introduced the newcomer to the guest and Little Hawk gazed intently at the stranger, for the face looked strangely familiar to him. If him dressed in white man ' s clothes, him look like man 1 trade with in In , the Indian said to himself. A gleam of recognition came into Mudwayanshka . ' s eyes, and he turned his face from the light. The wind laughed mockingly. About a year before the opening of this story Charlie Wesley had brought his pretty delicate wife to the little town, R , hoping that the dry wes- tern air would revive her health. But Lily (for that was what Charlie always called his little golden- haired wife), found that there were other evils in the world than delicate health. There were black eyes and round, rosy cheeks and coquettish manners. These attributes all be- longed to Felicia Jefferson. She had come to R a short time before the Wesleys did and being somewhat of a stranger in the town, she often spent the evening with Charlie and Lily., Charlie felt fettered as he com- pared his invalid wife with Felicia, rosy and lively. He became so dis- contented with his lot that he began to pity himself and blame Lily. The feeling so increased that he almost grew to hate his wife and sought con- solation in Felicia ' s smiles. From a gentle and careful husband he be- came irritable and careless. This pained Lily ' s sensitive nature and the work of the western climate was almost undone, and she grew worse again. With the decline of his wife ' s health Charlie became more unbear- able. Then one day Felicia returned to the city where she had formerly lived and Charlie seemed to forget her, and for one blissful week Lily was happy. But, alas; her happiness was only short-lived. One morning Charlie re- ceived a letter and he told his wife that he was suddenly ( ' ailed away on business. He was an agent tor a big real estate establishment, and il was THE TOTEM 23 not unusual for him to be called away in inspect sonic land. Lily asked for some definite idea of the exact nature of the trip, bul Charlie seemed 1111- communical ive. Charlie, .Mrs. Wesley said on the evening of her husband ' s depart- ure, ' 1 wish you wouldn ' t go; I fee] as if I would ne er si e you again. Please write to me as soon as you roach your destination so I will feel better about you. Charlie hesitated a moment by her side. He felt as it ' he must confess his guilt to the little trusting creat- ure; then he laughed scornfully at his own weakness, and kissing Lily light- ly on the forehead, ran quickly down tli steps. His wife stood silent and motionless where he left her, watch- ing her husband ' s figure grow dimmer •and finally disappear in the pale moonlight. Then she was siezed with a violent fit of trembling and she grasped the porch railing to support herself, but her strength deserteel her and with a faint cry she sank to the ground. A short time later a servant came to the deior in search of her mistress, and there on the porch Mrs. Wesley lay as cold and colorless as a dead person. The doctors weirkeel far into the night with her At last she came to, but she seemed wholly indifferent as to whether she lived or died, and lav motionless with closed eyes and a death-like ' pallor on her face, heeding nothing that took place in the room. But Lily was not the only heart- sick person. Over west by the big forest in the little cabin home ' of Lit tie Hawk, a young man was tossing sleep- lessly about on his bed. 1 le found ii impossible to put his mind at rest, but always before him was the- image of two women. One was small and delicate, bul when be thoughl of her another image arose- before him, rosy and healthy, with a coquettish ex- pression in her black eyes. At last the man fell into a troubled sleep, lie dreamed that he was in the cabin of Lit t le 1 [awk, but t he house seemed to In deserted; it was very dark and the only light was a patch of m iligh! on the floor. Something in the room seemed to magnetize his ewes ami he was conscious of another presence. He looked over his shoulder and saw Felieua. Her eye ' s ulitte ' ivel and her body seeMiied to taper away in the form of a snake. Charlie ' tried te move, but he seemed rooted to the spot. The wind outside moaned ami sighed, and now and anon it whis- pered : Lily. Presently several doctors came into view bearing a white coffin. When they drew near Charlie saw his wife in the coffin and she was reaching out her hand to her husband. He grasped the delicate little hand and Felicia slunk back into a Corner and the glitter went out of her ewes. Hut the doctors bore the coffin on and Charlie was alone with his tormentor, who hisse ' d like a snake and darted at him. Then he awoke with a start and found himself standing in the center of the room. The wind was whipping a. branch of a 1 1« ' against the roof and Charlie blamed it for disturbing his sle-i p. The next morning be purchased a 2 4 THE TOTEM pony from Little Hawk and rode to , the nearest railroad station. When he arrived at the town he sold the pony and then went into a cloth- ing store, and when he emerged from the store he was dre.sed in white man ' s clothing. He went to the depot to await the west bound ex- press. It Avas early yet and he went into the waitingroom. He tried to sit quietly but his limbs were goaded by his conscience and lie walked back and forth with quick, nervous steps. Just as Charlie heard the shrill whistle of the coming train, a middle- aged man and woman came into the watingioom. It is Col. Wilson; the very man 1 sold that land to last winter. I hope he doesn ' t recognize me, Charlie muttered under his breath. Meanwhile Wilson Avas saying to his wife: There is Charlie Wesley. I wonder what he can be doing here. 1 saw in the R paper last night that his wife was very sick. The train came then and the Wil- sons got on it, and a young lady got cff. The newcomer was Felicia Jef- ferson. Charlie greeted her in an in- different manner, attended to her lug- gage, then took her to a hotel, where he left her and then went back into town and walked aimlessly about the streets. When does the next east-bound train leave here, Charlie asked of an arehin in the street. In fifteen minutes, was the an- swer, and Charlie started in the di- rection of the station. It was yet morning, and the train would reach R some time in the middle of the night. That night Mrs. Wesley wakened in the middle of the night and called hmdly for Charlie. The nurse came quickly to the bedside, thinking that her patient was delirious. Don ' t be alarmed. I just awoke suddenly from a dream, Lily said, as she let her eyes rove restlessly about the room. Suddenly her eyes stopped their wandering and she ap- peared to be listening. Wasn ' t someone knocking? she asked. No, said the nurse, it was only the wind, or you dreamed it. Take this powder; it will make you sleep more soundly. But someone was knocking at the front door. She went through the hall and started to open the door, but as soon as it was unlocked it was thrust aside by someone outside, and a masculine figure dashed through the hall straight into the sick woman ' s bed chamber. The nurse stood pet ri- fted with horror, for who but a mad- man, or someone equally terrible, would burst into a sick woman ' s room at midnight in such a manner. There was a faint cry of Charlie and another of Lily ; then the nurse saw the man fall on his knees by Mrs. Wesley ' s bedside and bury his lace on Lily ' s breast and weep tempestuously. Lily ' s white hands stole out from under the coverlet and gently caressed Charlie ' s brown eurls. and a happy, peaceful smile settled on her face The nurse turned awav with tears THE TOTEM 25 nt joy and sorrow mingled in her eyes. Silver Bell and Little Hawk sal by their fireside and listened to the wind blowing playfully among the trees. 1 1 se ni ' il in whisper softly with hushed breath, bul now and again it would laugh softly. The wind is very happy tonight, maybe. said Silver Bell. The wind answered her with a little gurgling laugh. —IV A GALBREATH. TEN LITTLE STUDENTS.

THE TOTEM 27 THE TWO DIGGER BOYS Fay Spaulding and Rollin Gleason were digger boys, which is to say they were the sons of gold diggers. Fay ' s father was the foreman of the Gold Dollar mine, and Rollin ' s father was the superintendent. The Gold Foliar was a placer mine, the surface gravel being torn down and washed through the sluices by powerful hy- draulic monitors, the streams from which were many times more power- ful than the streams from the nozzle of a city tire engine. The Gold Dollar was located in the heart of the Sis- kiyou mountain range, in Colorado, many miles from any town or school, and the boys ' fathers, not wanting their sons to grow up uneducated, had hired a private tutor to teach them. ' ' School hours, as the boys termed them, were from eight in the morning till twelve. This gave them all the afternoon to use in outdoor sports — rambling through the forest, operat- ing their placer mine down the creek, panning for gold in the gravel, or rid- ing the ponies along the trail. One Friday afternoon as the boys returned from a long ramble into the forest , they halted at a newly-made fence, which surrounded a barren strip of ground that lay between the Gold Dollar holdings and the steep mountain side that formed one side of the narrow valley. This strip of ground belonged to Skookum Ike, a trapper and prospector, who lived in a little cabin which stood in a group of laurels near t he I rail. Though the strip was known to be rich diggings, Ike worked only in a desultory manner, by shovel and rocker and other crude met hods, tak- ing out only a little gold each winter. He was unable to work it on an ex- tensive scale for the reason that the entire water rights of the creek were owned and controlled by the owners of the Gold Dollar mine. Ike had lived there many years before the Gold Dollar mine was developed, and knowing nothing of the requirements of the law respecting the usages id ' water, he neglected to file application for water rights and so found him- self deprived of all the water of the creek, when he later attempted to work his claim. This embittered him against the company, and when they offered to buy his strip of placer ground, Ike would not sell; moreover, he closed the trail the company had made across his ground in going to and from the trading post. He would not even allow r any of the men to walk across his place and would not grant them any favors whatever. Fay and Rollin had heard much un- kind talk about the trapper and knew that there was enmity between him and their fathers, and this was why they now hesitated about crossing his ground. However, they had not 28 THE TOTEM THE TOTEM 29 seen the old trapper for a few days, and were in hopes just now that lie was not al home, for they were about fagged out from their Ions tramp, and preferred striking straight across rather than following the new road around. Urged onward by their tired limbs and the hope that he really va gone and would not see them, the boys hesitated no longer, hut climbed the fence and entered Ike ' s diggings. Half way across the dig- gings they came upon the dried and sun-baked sluice, where Ike had worked the year before. This year he had been unable to do anything because of having- no water, and his only means of making money was from the skins of animals which he sold at the trading ' post. Poor old Ike. said Rollin, sym- pathetically, while they paused for a moment to view the almost pitiful methods the old man was obliged to adopt in his effort to wash a little gold from the gravel. It is really a pity that he can ' t have a little of the water from the creek. The company could spare him a little and then have enough left for its own use. It ' s his own fault, ' ' Fay declared. If he had treated the company right he would not have been denied the water of the creek. Rollin was not as hot-tempered, nor as outspoken as his chum, and always had a desire for peace; therefore he merely let the matter drop, knowing that if he continued he would soon be in a quarrel with his friend. He again commenced his investigations of the old-time rocker, in which there still remained a few shovels of gravel. [ke had tlOl returned td cradle this through because the water had given out. Out of curiosity Rollin lifted t he old hopper. • ' I wonder what sorl of riffle he used, said he. quietly raking the gravel to one side of the box. How- ever, his eye was not attracted by the ingenious construction of the lit- tles, but by a large, dull-lust red and yellowish stone in the gravel. The mere sight of it set his heart to beat- ing wildly, for he had seen other pieces like it, though none so large. He siezed it quickly, al the same time utering a loud cry. It was so heavy that he nearly dropped it on his toes. It was a monster gold nug- get. Gold! Gold! both boys shouted exultantly. You certainly have struck it rich. Fay added running over to Rollin ' s side. They handled and fondled the nugget, and guessed its weight and value. They were both of the opinion that it would weigh about six pounds, ami that its value was about one thousand three hun- dred dollars. It isn ' t my strike, said Rollin. This belongs to Ike. He had shov- eled it into his rocker and quit work- just before cradling it out. Half an hour longer and he would have found it. But you are not going to put it back in the rocker? •• No; we will take it to him. That will be impossible. Fay as- serted. Ike would not let us come near his cabin. He would order us 30 THE TOTEM off his place right now if he knew we were here. ' ' Well, we will try to get near it anyhow, Rollin said, exhibiting for the first time a determination to be master of the situation, and before Fay could enter further protest, Rollin had struck off across the dig- gings toward Ike ' s cabin, and rather than be left alone and also to show his loyalty to his chum, Fay followed after. They soon reached the cabin and knocked loudly at the door, but they received no response whatever. Fin- ally after peering in at the windows and making sure that he was not at home, they again turned their foot- steps towards the camp, fully de- termined (or at least Rollin was) to come again in the morning. He ' ll be back from the trading- post in the morning, said Rollin, and we ' ll come then. Well, I think you are a big fool, asserted Fay. You could keep that, and, my lands, the things you could buy with it. Ike never would have found it. I know he wouldn ' t; but it is not mine, and I am going to give it to him, Rollin replied with a deter- mined voice. That night at camp the boys heard a strange story. A man had returned from the trading post with provisions, and also with good news for the com- pany. While at the trading post he had met an old friend who had told him that he had that day taken a mortgage on Ike ' s diggings because Ike had not been able to pay his taxes for several years back, and had bor- rowed money of him to pay them, and had given him the moi ' tgage on the diggings. The company now knew that Ike was at his rope ' s end, and would soon have to sell out to them. The next morning the boys arose early and scampered down the trail. In a few moments they reached Ike ' s cabin, and as they expected the old man had come, but when the boys knocked on the door and asked ad- mittance, he swore at them and threatened to thrash them if they did not go away and leave him alone. They told him that they had good news for him, and begged and plead- ed to talk with him, but all was of no avail. They had almost gotten out of patience at him, and were thinking of going back home, when Rollin hap- pened to think of a plan. He took the nugget and held it up to the win- dow-pane and tapped it gently on the glass, which drew the old man ' s at- tention. As soon as he caught sight of the gold he quickly opened the door and let the boys come in, giving them a seat by the fire. Then he bade them tell what they wanted. Rollin soon told him how he had found it, and where. During the story the old man sat very thought- ful, and when Rollin gave him the nugget he had tears in his dim old eyes. God bless you, boys, he said in a broken voice. This will bring enough money to pay my mortgage, and will pay my needs for a year. You don ' t know what a blessing you have brought me. That ' s all right. We just hap- pened to find it in your rocker, and THE TOTKM 3 ' thought we would give it to you. replied Rollin. The old man was overcome with joy. He invited the boys to stay and partake of his sim- ple fare, and they accepted bis in- vitation. During the meal the old man star- tled them by saying: Boys, tell your fathers I ' ll sell out to them at their price. 1 reckon it will keep me the ' .est of my days. I did intend to hold it as long as I could, for 1 was at outs with your fathers, but yon hoys softened me up some way to- day. Thev assured him thev would tell FRESHMAN PARTY. On Friday evening, Dee. 0, the Freshman class of the Winamae High School entertained their teachers for a few hours in the Pattison hall. The walls were draped in the Fresh- man class colors of Nile green and maize. Punch and wafers were served in the course of the evning. and many games played in which all enjoyed themselves.

Refreshments were served and all departed at thirteen o ' clock wishing the club many other happy anniversaries. their fathers as soon as lhe got heme, knowing it would please and also surprise them greatly. In a little while the boys started home, but before they went the old man made them promise to come back fre- quently and see him again, for they would be his only visitors.

The games v civ well attended and the work of the team was quite satisfactory, bar- ing won five out of the seven games played. At the beginning of the season it looked doubtful if anything like a winning team could he whipped into shape from the the candidates who presented themselves for practice. Mn.-t of the men were comparatively new at the game, and it became a question of building an eleven around Captain Jim Felvev. Conn, Jen- kins. Tuttle and Williams, whose gridiron aehievemenets of the previ- ous year bad promised greal things for the coming season. It was. how- ever, a difficult proposition to get a line strong and aggressive enough to protect the back tied players in their speedy formations. Gradually the squad, through constant practice and Laid scrimmages, was worked into a well-balanced team. The half-back positions were played by Falvey and Conn, who worked together well dur- ing the whole season; Jenkins was a tower of strength in the full-back ' s position; Tuttle at quarter-back proved himself valuable, not only at passing tie hall but in open field run- ning and drop-kicking; the end po- sitions were taken care of by Met . and Wiliams; at tackle and guard positions there appeared during the season a series of shi fts, involving Blew, Galbreath, Henry, Cloud, Par- rott and I ' atu is ui : t lie pivotal po- sition was played most of the season by Baker, a little man but with D world of nerve; Fugate also showed up well in the center position in a couple of t he garni s. In closing 1 t us say that too much praise cannot be given Captain Jim and his tea u-mates for the successful and honorable manner in which they repres nted W. II. S.. both on and off the gridiron, and we predict that they will long be he ' d in the memory of all who love old W. II. S. Winamac 5 — Kewanna 6. The tint game of the s ason was played at Kewanna on Saturday. Oct. 1. The Winamac team soon demon- strated its superiority over its op- ponent at every stage of the game. By consistent gains the ball was car- ried to within striking distance of Lewa nna ' s goal, and Falvey was soon shoved over for the first touch- down of the season. Tuttle failed to makf a fair catch of the punt-out and the seme at the end of the first quar- ter stcod 5 to in favor of W. II. S. During the second quarter, when W. II. S. was marching st adily down the field towards it 1 - opponent ' s goal line and another touchdown, several of the Kewanna players, purposely or 38 THE TOTEM otherwise, were so injured that they were removed from the game and town players substituted therefor, over the protests of the Winamac captain and his team-mates. It was a case of play or forfeit the expense money, and our team chose the former. The final score stood 6 to 5 in Kewanna ' s favor. Later the Kewanna team forfeited the game to Winamac. Winamac 5 — Kewanna 3. On the following Saturday Ke- wanna played a return game at Wina- mac. Neither team showed up well and the game was slow and devoid of spectacular plays. Jenkins played the star game for W. H. S., while Foglesong, quarter- back on the Kewanna team, did most of the stellar work for the visitors. In the second quarter Conn was shoved over for a touchdown. Tuttle made a fair catch of the punt-out, but failed to kick a goal. Near the c ' ose of the game Fogle- song made a beautiful drop-kick, thus registering a total of three points for Kewanna. The final score stood 5 to 3 in favor of W. H. S. Winamac 15 — Star City. 8. On Saturday, Oct. 15, t he team journeyed to Star City, a little town about six miles south of Winamac, and there proceeded to win another victory. This was nally the first important game of the season, and every mem- ber of the team was determined t- win if possible. Although out- weighed, the team from W, II. S. showed vastly superior team work, greater speed and a more thorough knowledge of the game than did their opponents. Shortly after the game was called. Tuttle, by a run of over sixty yards through a broken field, planted the pigskin fairly between the goal posts and behind the goal line. Goal was not kicked and the score stood Win- amac 5, Star City 0. Shortly after play was resumed Star City scored three points by drop-kicking a Held goal from the thirty-yard line. In the third quarter Marsh Williams proved himself a wizard at open held running and scored two more touchdowns. Star City also scored in the last quarter of play. Both teams failed to kick goal and the game ended with the score 15 to 8 in favor of W. H. S. Winamac — Kewanna 28. It was an unlucky day for W. H. S. when they played Kewanna on the batter ' s grounds Saturday, Oct. 22. The team was in poor condition; kicked practice, and also several of its best players. Nevertheless the defeat they met was as unexpected as humiliating. The game was marred by much wrangling and taking ' out of time. The sad story is best told by the final score, which stood 28 to in favor of Kewanna. W. II. S. 5— Winamac Tcwn Team ()• On Oct. 29 the W. 11. S. lined up for a practice game againsl a team composed of ex-high school stars and other foot ball celebrities picked up about town. Although out-weighed THE TOTEM 39 twenty-live pounds to the man. the high school team easily held its own and made consistent gains through the opposing line and had no trouble in skii ting the ends. Met , on a criss-cross and wide end run scored the only touchdown of the game. The final score was • to in favoi of the high school team. Winamac — Galveston 26. On Nov. i the team journeyed to Galveston and there met their Water- loo. It was not so much the good playing of Galveston but the poor playing id ' Winamac that made the score so one-sided. McDonald, the big tow-headed half- back of Galveston, seemed to be a battering-ram that the Winamac line was unable to stop. He repeatedly tore through for long gains and scored most of the touchdowns. Falvey, Conn and Williams struggled heroic- ally to hold down the score, but their individual efforts, without other aid, were powerless to stem the tide. The heavy condition of the field accounted in a great measure for the poor show- ing of the Winamac team. The score at the close of the game stood 28 to in favor of Galveston. Winamac 26— Star City 0. Though the team was defeated by Galveston they emerged from the conflict not crestfallen but courage- ous, defeated but not routed, and in the terminology of the athletic world, ' ' came back and took the one game of the season from Star City at Winamac on Thanksgiving Day. Never did a team train more faith- fully and never was a team more physically tit than the one that went forth to battle tor the glory of W. 11. S ..ii that memorable day. This was the one game of the sea- son and a victory meant not only the defeat of their old time rivals, but the foot ball championship of Pulaski comity. It was an ideal day for the game, and a large crowd of enthusiastic rooters attended. From the kick-off to the close of the game it was evident to all that the Star City team was outclassed. The Winamac line was impregnable and their interference on end runs was the best ever exhibited by a local high school team. Long forward passes, line bucks, slashing end runs were reeled off in rapid succession. And they all seemed to work success- fully, for Star City was completely bewildered by the whirlwind style of play. Tuttle, Jenkins, Williams and Conn made touchdowns, while Tuttle added to the score by kicking three goals and successfully booting over a pretty drop-kick from the thirty-five-yard line. When the referee ' s whistle closed the game and the foot ball season of 1910, W. H. S. had piled up a total of twenty-six points to their oppon- ents ' nothing. The bright particular stars for W. H. S. were Falvey, Conn, Jenkins. Tuttle. Williams. Blew Baker, Patter- son and Henry. Thus ended the fool ball season of 40 THE TOTEM 1010, one of the most brilliant in the annals of W. H. S. And now in closing let us say a word in praise of the student body and the faculty who so loyally sup- ported the team throughout the sea- son, and especially is praise due to our bunch of enthusiastic girl rooters, who cheered the team on to victory on many a hard-fought field. And may every student of W. H. S., on beholding the glorious banner above the entrance to the assembly room, recall with pride the achieve- ments upon the gridiron by the team of 1910. Warren Manders entertained the Junior class at his home on South Monticello street. All enjoyed the pleasant evening.

At the Vurpillal opera house on the evening of February 22, the Senior class of the High School presented a very pretty little college play, Cupid ; t Vassar, to a capacity house. Be- cause of the numerous requests from those unable to obtain tickets for the li rst performance, the play was re- peated on March 17. Much of the decided success was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Spaulding, who not only chose the characters with the mo 1 excellent judgment, but also trained them with such unceasing vigilance thai the play was pronounced the best ever. The parts were all very ably tilled and the cast, which read as follows, was well balanced. Wanda, daughter of Mrs. Carroll.. Gertrude Grilsinger. Mrs. Carroll of Great Falls, Ver- mont Opal Taylor Shiny, the colored boy Glenwood Tuttle Hank Gubbin, the hired man ... Waldemar Huddleston Sally Webb, Kate ' s roommate at Vassar Zola Riggs Helen Conway, a freshman Hazel Netherton Kate Newton, a half-sister to Wan- da Josie Mulvaney John Willett, a young architect .... Ralph Ewing Amos North, a country youth, of North Son, bankers. James Falvey Tatty Snow, Mattie Hart, Alice Worth, college girls Beatrice Morri- son, Sylvia Lowry, Carrie Campbell .Miss Page, Hint ion of dormitory, and chaperon for Kate ' s party.. Phalla Riggs The music consisted of three S ' OngS, America to Her Children, Hope, and My Country, by the pupils of Room Five, and several piano selec- tions by Mildred Hathaway, added much to the already interesting pro- gram. With seventy-six dollars of the pro- ceeds the Seniors purchased for the library The New International En- cyclopaedia in twenty-two volumes. This gift, their class gift to the school, will certainly serve to fix in the memory of the dear old High the Class of 1911. LOCALS. Some people like two-steps, others waltzes; but The Totem manager knows at least one person who would rather have a March. Great large peaches grow on some of the trees on Pulaski county farms. Only one can be canned in a half- gallon can. Some peaches. We know that Wat Huddleston went to church on at least one Sun- day night this winter. There was a reason. Ask Sylvia. Eula Ross has the cutest laugh of any one in school. The peculiar part about it is that you can ' 1 see it, but it ' s there just the same. Some of the girls think it would be awful nice if their fellows lived in town. But they don ' t. 42 THE TOTEM Miss Diedrieh said that she could be mean enough to plunk some of the Senior German students, but we don ' t believe it. The Latin teacher called on a little boy to give the present indicative of a certain verb. He did not know what it was, so he asked his neighbor, who said, Darned if I know. So the litle boy started recitation: Darned- ifino, darnedifinas, etc. Miss Stratton — Donald, if every- body in the school room chewed gum but you, what would you do? Donald B. — I would put a slot machine in the hallway. Mr. Kinnick — Charles, stand on your own feet; they are larger than anybody else ' s. Gladys H. — Mr. Kinnick, where can I find happiness? Mr. Kinnick — You ' ll find it in the dictionary. The field meet held here April 22 between the Winamac and North Jud- son high schools resulted in a victory for Winamac by a score of 68 to 49. North Judson won first place in the 50-yard dash, the half-mile run, the mile run, the 120-yard hurdle and the standing high jump. Winamac took first in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, the discus throw, the shot-put, the 220-yard hurdle, and the running high and broad jumps. The 440-yard dash was a tie. Second and third places were divided, a little in favor of Winamac. JOKES. Why should a young man never raise his straw hat to a lady? Because it ' s never felt. Are you a judge of horseflesh ? No, sir; I prefer beefsteak. What ' s the difference between a lemon and a mule? I don ' t know. You would be a nice one to send after lemons. My coat feels black. Get out ; you can ' t feel color.
