Four years ago the Freshmen came into the old assembly and looked around at the pictures and the clock and ornaments and then finally took their seats. Who would have thought then that .uld b( class?

A cooking class was started at the first of the year and is a much-wished-for addition to the course. Only one left the class this year. Ross Wills quit at the end of the first semester and is now attending school at Notre Dame. Three of the twenty-three who will graduate started to school together twelve years ago, Charles Smith. Will Cox and Lillian Cox. Our class has always been represented well in the athletic way. So now, we ' ll leave with very best wishes for the future of our dear old High. Sen ior r ' rophecy By his lodge deep i n the forest. At the touch of the musician, Stood an old man tali nd stately. Our Irene, The Laughing Brookl There we met old Jos iiakeed, Thus the aged prophet called her. Asked him to disclose c Asked him for the Sen ur future: ors ' future. In a green and hilly country. Yes, their future I will show you, Spoke the prophet, old in wisdom. Then he called his son unto him, Bade him bring the magic powder. Bade him on the fire to throw it. Bade us look upon it closely. From the fire we saw ascending. Figures strange in looks and actions, Figures that ascended slowly As the prophet spoke strange language. First thing there we saw a bakery. In a city large and noisy. Saw the owner, Henry Grabner, Saw the Little Bear, the burly. And ' twas spoken by the prophet, By his looks, he prospered greatly. Next we saw a great recital. Round about were many people; On their faces rapt attention. As the music swelled in rapture m Was a shepherd making music. Playing on a fiddle aged. Then we saw that Lloyd had proven That his love for sheep was lasting. Big Chief Oak, then said the prophet. And the vision slowly vanished. Next a building rose before us. College-like in all appearance. But It vanished very quickly Showing us a room within it. In her lap a cat reclining. On one shoulder sat a parrot. In her hands she held some papers. Papers written by her pupils; And we knew that she had learning. For she taught the college pupils. Then the prophet turned unto me. Once again he spake his language Agnes Bain, The Whispering Spirit Were the words he uttered to me. ■I ft Then we looked around the country. Saw the corn fields green and shining. Saw the land just freshly furrowed. Saw the plowman and his horses; ' Twas the boy we knew as Elie; Farmer Man then spoke the prophet. Next we saw a little cottage Neat and pretty in appearance. At the door there stood a woman Whom we recognized as Violet. Lily of the Praine, said he. And we knew that she had proven What her words had always told us, That she did not like the city. But the figure in the barnyard Was not one familiar to us. Saw the studio of an artist; Saw our dear old classmate Hilda; Saw that she had prospered greatly. There we saw the world ' s cartoonist. Funny woman said the prohpet. Then a vision rose before us Lovely in its every aspect, And we saw it was our Myrtle Going in the ways of fashion. Loved by all the lads and lassies. Butterfly spoke the prophet But she vanished very qucikly. Still another rose before us. Stranger still in all appearance, Twas the world ' s great annual field-meet And the wmner of the honors Was our classmate Hobe the Sport Chie Thus the aged prophet called him. On a platform in a city Stood a rampant suffrage lady. Stood our dear old classmate, Lillie, Talking of the rights for women; And we saw that she was noted For her fierce and fiery speeches. Heap Big Squaw then said the prophet. In the world ' s most famous playhouse. In the role of Charley Chaplin, Making all the people happy Laughing at his funny capers. There we saw a dark haired laddy And his acting looked familiar. Whereupon we bent more closely. Saw It was our erstwhile classmate. Ours who ' s gone but not forgotten; Ross The Prince of Sleep he whispered; Thus the aged prophet called him. Then another came before us. Showing us the Western Ranch land; On a broncho there, we saw him. There we saw our classmate William. Broncho Buster said the prophet. af ' - ' ' j: ;; ' In a fine old country mansion Lived a bachelor girl so pretty. In the yard we saw some chickens. Playing ' round the door a kitten. In the window hung a birdcage, In the front yard planting flowrets Was the owner of the mansion; Looking close we saw ' twas Ota, Falling Waters said the prophet. In a building high and lofty. In a little room secluded. Working in his laboratory Working out life ' s newest problems. Bending o ' er with rapt attention. Stood our friend and classmate Alpha. Lightning Chief, the prophet called him. On the shores of the Atlantic In a city big and rushing. There she lived, our pretty Chubby With a sign, said Sweets, above her; Princess Dark Eyes said the prophet And the figure slowly vanished. On a street, ' twas in a city, Stood a figure so familiar. Strange he was in looks and actions. On his coat strange things were written — Shone these words Salvation Army. •Twas our classmate Howard Hodgen. Pow Wow Brave. the prophet called hin: In the great theatric cirles. In the role of Lady Portia, Far and wide among the nations Spread the fame of Fair Marcella. Handsomest of all the Maidens Sweet Wild Rose the prophet called her. In his store behind a counter In a city large and noisy. Stood a man we knew as Tony. Wealth he had to spare in plenty. But that even-handed justice, So perverse in song and story. Had denied a sweet companion To our classmate, to our Tony. Fair Haired Chief then spoke the prophet As the figure slowly vanished. All at once we heard a noise. Saw a great big automobile. Saw a man all bruised and bleeding. Saw a doctor come and get him. Saw that he recovered quickly By the skill of this great doctor; Then we saw that it was Walter, Saw that he had prospered greatly. ' Mitch, ' The Healer, said the prophet. Ne.Kt we peeped into a citv. There we saw the state assembly. In the speaker ' s chair sat Addis. Teachers Partner, said the prophet. m % n a bright and sunny building Sa our little Irish Coleen Sa our friend and classm ate Gladys. Ro und about were many c hildren. Un their faces sweet contentment. ho they loved this gentle maiden. Lo ed her with the love o f childhood. Loved their kindergarten eacher. B eath of Springtime, s id the prophet Then we saw another vision. Saw a quaint old country churchyard, Saw a large procession enter. Saw the bride and bridegroom coming. Saw them bound in matrimony; Something there looked so familiar That we bent to look more closely And we recognized our Effie, Pretty in her bridal costume. Weeping Willow said the prophet. In a great and busy city. Manager of a department. There we saw our old friend Biffer; ' Chief of Money said the prophet. In a little lonely valley Twixt two mountains large and lofty. There we saw a rustic chaplet Covered o ' er with moss and ivy. Then we saw the people enter. Saw the pastor in the pulpit ; Looking close we saw ' twas Clovde, Member of the class of ' 16. Flowing Tongue the prophet called him. Then we saw our own first city. Saw the great inaugural hall. In the midst of dear old Glory Stood our classmate, tall and statelv. Stood our old friend, Buke the banker. From his lips the words were rolling Pledging that he ' d serve his country. Sleeping Beauty said the prophet. As the figure rose and vanished. Then they ceased; a sudden darkness Fell and filled the silent forest. Then It seemed we heard a rustle As of spirit passing by us; Heard the cracklmg of some branches. Underneath some stealthy footstep; Felt the cold breath of the night air. Then we found that we were standing Lonely m the gloomy forest; Saw no more the Indian Prophet, Sawn more the old chief ' s magic. Then we turned our footsteps homeward. Thoug htful that we knew our future. —Mabel Galbr Junior C7ass Junior C7a ss IN ' 13 we started here on the royal road to knowledge. Though now we ' ve dwindled down to twelve, yet everyone knows that quality makes up for quantity. Yes, here is Tommy our walking, classical dictionary and Freddie who will surely some day be a great law- yer; here likewise is Lulu whose chief enjoyment is brooding o ' er Sir Raleigh ' s method of book-keeping so that she might be able to become a head cashier, and Lucy who knows more about Longfellow and all those other great fellers than all the rest of us put to- gether. The rest of our class, although they may never come up to the high standard of the above mentioned, hope to gain some renown in our big life ' s career. In the old high school building we started, under the guiding influence of Mr. Geiser, Mr. Rittenhouse, Mr. Capouch, and Misses Hendrickson, Frazier and Harker. We managed to escape the confining walls of Fresh- inhood and under the same faculty with the ceptions of Harker and Rittenhouse, who stituted by Mr. Milholland and Miss Rahm, we in gaining the lofty title of Juniors. Since v Juniors we have met with a new Latin tea Duncan. We hope all to return in our ship, flying a flag one more year as brilliant Seniors. 5ub- eeded M r i::: R r: e ;::j SophoniorG Ciass Uuli 1 Baugh Boiini lliasi Bai MrUDLE ROW— George Biglt Irvo I now Muneh enbu S is for Sophomore the class of eighteen, for our colors, the yellow and green, P is the parties, which surely are great, H IS the hour which people call late. means that onward the Soph ' mores do strive, M is the good marks we hope to receive is the order which teachers have set, R is the rest which we so seldom get, E is the end of which all of us dream, ' Twill come in one thousand, nine hundred, eighteen.

At first there were thirty-eight names on the Fresh- man class roll, but this number has decreased from time to time, until now, only thirty remain. The causes for this decrease were various, but we hope that in- stead of decreasing, we may increase in size by the Soon after we entered High School, as the poor, green Freshies, we were initiated, and taught how to act in the Assembly, by the upperclassmen. They seem to think that we profited by it, but some of us have our doubts about it when we see our deportment grades. At our first class meetmg, the teachers presided, and made some speeches. They all said that the Freshies were always their favorites. Many are the good times we have had this year, in- side and outside of school. We always have a good time at our parties, even if we do usually pay the freshie game of wink, so scorned by the upper- The one great sorrow of our Freshman year, was the death of our beloved friend and classmate. Stella Meeks. The faculty this year was certainly great. It was as follows:— Mr. Geiser, Superintendent, Mr. Milhol- land taught us Algebra, Mr. Capouch, Agriculture, Miss Hendrickson, English, and Miss West, Music and Draw- ing until ill-health compelled her to leave, and her place was filled by Miss Barr. All the teachers have been very kind to us, and we surely are grateful to them. We hope that in 1919 we may all graduate from the W. H. S. with the best records yet. When you see the Senior class of that year, just remember that we were the scorned poor, little Freshies of 1915-16. In memory of STKLLA MEEK a member of the Freshman Class of 1916, who died April 8, 1916. Her ' s was one of those sweet, quiet natures which enter in and form a part of our life without perception. But all the more do we miss her from the accustomed place. We feel something has gone out of our lives that can never be replaced. I CQ:eiic]s of Chief Winanieic. f THe Potawatanii tribe of whom Chief Winamac was chief, had their village just below the place where the river bridge now is, on the opposite side of the river from where the town of Winamac now stands. Chief Winamac was married to a white woman who had been stolen from her home when a baby and adopted by the tribe. The old chief had a very beauti- ful daughter, Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta, who was the pride of the Indian village and who was loved by many of the young braves. But Mi-neek-sunt-ta had given her love to P ' tank-seet-tough and to the rest paid no attention whatever. The old chief worshipped his daughter and often took her on hunting or exploring trips in the surround- ing country. So, when some of the young men, who had been exploring, discovered a lake several miles west of their village and reported it to their chief, he prepared at once to start for the place. Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta wanted to go with him, and, as he complied with her every wish, they started on their trip. They were several days on the road, traveling through a trackless forest with nothing to guide them except their Indian intuition. At night, it was an easy matter to put up their wigwams and make a camp. As soon as the sun rose the next morning, they packed their wigwams and went on their way. It was the de- light of Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta to help furnish the food. She would take her bow and arrow and would often leave the others in an effort to capture a deer or other wild animal. Even though she did get behind the rest it didn ' t take her long to catch up. The white pony which she rode, was the fastest owned by the tribe and was the pride of her heart. Having arrived at the lake, they immediately named it Cedar Lake, because of the dense growth of cedar trees around it. A little way off one could not see the lake at all, but after breaking their way through the cedar forest, one would be surprised to find a lake, lying there peacefully in the heart of the forest. Having spent several days exploring and hunting and fishing, they started back to their village. When they were about half-way between the two places, Mi-neek- e-sunt-ta decided to mark the place so people passing by there afterwards would know they had been there. Therefore she called several of the braves to her and pointed out a tall white pine tree. Strip it of its branches and bark and leave it standing like a great white post, she ordered, and this country shall always be known as White Post. Everything was carried out as she desired and they continued on their homeward journey. It was a habit of Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta and her father to .b.Tl H.

Ther of an Indian chief embellished on the back a numbers under it, which none of the tribe c This was enough to keep all others away fro if there had been no stories about it. Bu ones who knew the real story about it we chieftian and his daughter and they kept it to themselves. One afternoon, when returning from a hunt of sev- eral miles up river, the old chief ' s canoe, which was guided by Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta, grazed a rock, which was covered by water and tipped to its side. The old chief laughingly said to his braves River tippi-canoe and the Potawatamies adopted that name for their river. The favorite spot of Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta was the first island down river. The island was thickly wooded and just below a bend in the river. It was a very pretty place with vines growing among its trees for Mi-neek- e-sunt-ta took a certain pride in the island and trained the wild vines up off the ground onto the trees in such a fashion that a passer-by could not see very far onto the island. At this place she spent many happy afternoons alone and away from everyone. All the tribe knew this and therefore held the place sacred. However, one after- noon Ki-mit-ta-sha-wa, an objectionable lover, followed her there and threatened her if she would not promise to marry him. When she scorned him and told him she loved P ' tank-seet-tough, he became angry, and in a fit of passion threw his tomahawk and killed her. Frightened by his deed, but trusting he had been un- observed, he hastened on down the river so he would not be suspected. But P ' tank-eet-tough saw him hastening from the island, and, mistrusting him, hurried to the place and saw what had happenend. He quickly spread the ter- rible news, then he challenged Ki-mit-te-sha-wa to fight with him. In the battle both were killed. Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta was buried on the island and long years afterward, anyone passing the island at midnight could see a light and hear the chant of the wierd dying song. The two Indian braves were buried together in the woods some place north of the present town. Not many years ago a farmer dug into an Indian mound and found two Indian skeletons, supposed to be those of the unfortunate lovers of Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta. The old chiefs health rapidly declined after the death of his daughter, and. although he still led his braves to battle and in the hunt, all the joy had gone out of his life. The island had been named Ghost Island by the tribe because Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta ' s spirit returned to it. Often at twilight, not fearing the ghost, the old chief would take his violin and float down the river by himself. . ft Soon strange, uncanny music could be heard coming from the place where Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta had been buried. It was a tradition for many years afterwards that often at twilight the wierd music of the old violin could be heard by those who happened to be floating on the waters of the Tippecanoe. One morning the old chief was found in his last sleep, lying beside her grave. He had a smile on his face and had his violin clasped in his arms. The spirit of old Chief Winamac had gone to the happy hunting grounds to stay with his darling Mi-neek-e-sunt-ta. — As told by one of Winamac s oldest citizens, and written by Gladys Kelso, ' 16. IT was m the begmning of the year 1811 that Chief Winamac began to lose his friendly attitude to- ward the whites. This was due to the continual en- croachments of the whites upon his territory and hunt- ing grounds. As time went on, his hatred grew and after each Indian victory, when his braves brought home the gory scalp as the trophies of their battle, he would smile grimly and vaguely think of the time when the whites would exist no more. The Potawatami Indians of which Winamac was chief was a powerful tribe, nearly in fact to the famous Shawnees. There never was a prouder chief than Win- amac. Whenever he looked down from some high eminence and saw the women and children at work, either tilling the soil or grinding the grain into meal, his heart surged with pride. His shoulders, always straight, seemed to straighten more, and his grim Indian face with its cheeks painted with a design that spoke no good for any straying whites, seemed to set more firmly. He had eyes of coal black that snapped in the light and his face, which was framed with coarse, black hair, gaily decked with feathers, glowed with mingled hate and In the early spring of the following year matters reached a climax. Three of Winamac ' s braves brought in two young trappers whom they had captured. Chief Winamac immediately called together a council of old men to decide what to do with the prisoners. Some wanted to burn them; others wanted them to run the gauntlet and still others wanted to bury them alive. No decision could be made, so the meeting adjourned s filed out jntil sunrise the next morning. Tli )f the wigwam in which the council had bt n held and making a who were md red to their respective homes, sor detour to kick and beat cruelly the prisoners w securely tied to oak trees. A crowd of woi children stood by looking on. When this unhuman treatment began, a young In- dian woman, very beautiful, silently and without notice turned and walked to the wigwam. The younger trader, struck by the woman ' s beauty had watched her intent- ly and wondered at the time at her conduct, so differ- ent from the other women of the tribe who apparently enjoyed the distress and discomfiture of the white men. When it grew dusk, the Indians tied the prisoners still more securely and, leaving a guard to watch them, they ate their evening meal and rolled themselves up from head to toe in their blankets to spend the night. The fires flickered fitfully and one by one went out. An occasional snort and tramping betrayed the fact that the horses were still trying to glean the remains of their supper. One, over zealous, would compel the timid to stand aside while it consumed the choice mor- sels. As often as an attempt to recover the prized bits was made the impact of two strong rear hoofs might be heard upon whatever was closest to them. The wierd call of night birds betokened a sense of restless- ness which is often the harbinger of storm. All else was sound asleep. That is, all except one person, the beautiful Indian woman. When all had grown quiet she stealthily crept out into the night. The moon was just rising amid a veil of misty clouds and its light glittered on a shining dagger. Inch by inch, she moved. Indeed, so cautiously did she tread that she seemed to be scarcely moving at all. At last she stood directly be- hind the place where the guard lay, half asleep. The wind sighed softly in the tree-tops, then another gust came sailing through the forest, bringing snow flakes with it. The maiden hesitated, looked around her, then upwards. Again she began to creep, cat-like toward the dozing Indian. This time her purpose never lagged. but she raised high the dagger and plunged it deep into the Indian ' s heart with a sickening unksh! Never flinching, she drew out the bloody dagger and boldly walked to where the prisoners were tied. They were alarmed at first but in a second they found that their fears were ungrounded, for in a hoarse whisper she said to the younger trapper, Like white man heap good. Cut loose, and with a few quick strokes she set them free. Then with hasty words of caution to the men, she carefully led them to where the horses were picketed and selected the swiftest ones the chief pos- sessed. They were just ready to ride away and the younger trapper turned to thank the maiden for what she had done for them. She stood with downcast face, slightly turned away. All the frenzied impulse of the murder had died away and as he looked upon her, thinking that he had never seen a creature half so beautiful, a burn- ing desire seized him to carry her away and make her his own bride. So with one mighty sweep, he caught her and landed her upon the horse in front of him. She did not protest and the snow soon covered the tracks made by the feet of the galloping horses. The next morning Chief Winamac was wroth indeed when not only his prisoners but also his beautiful and most loved daughter, The Red Bird, was gone. He sent his warriors far and wide. He himself was unable to go because he was violent with anger. Gradually, as time lengthened into days, and weeks and finally fi! months, his rage softened into sorrow, and he would sit brooding by the rippling waters of the Tippecanoe for hours at a stretch. His people explained his ac- tions by saying that he was listening to his daughter singing in the waters. Thus the once proud chief spent the remainder of his years, watching and hoping m vain for one who did not return. — Marcella Hoover, ' 16. To the First Dandelion.

A Pirst J onieinco. IN a certain part of Bucktown, the siven to the colored settlement )f the city, ther is an alley known as Bluebird Alley. Why, know. Perhaps some imaginative coon named it that from the blue paint on the corner drug store. For certainly no self-respecting bluebird would ever have been caught dead m Bucktown. On Bluebird Alley, however, tucked in between two larger buildings was an old ramshackle house, where a particular little fel- low lived, who, at the court house was registered as Maximilian Belvedere Jack Johnson Jones. Among his playmates this monstrosity was abbreviated to Max. Now there was really nothing especially distinctive about Max, unless, perhaps, it was his unusual amount of trouble, for he had known it all his life. Indeed, as his daddy often remarked, Trouble done seem to be dat chile ' s middle name. And, in fact, it had started with his name but did not end there. For when this little darky first arrived on the scene, his mother introduced him to his proud father as Maximilian Bel- vedere. But her husband had other plans for the nam- ing of his son and heir, for he was very enthusiastic just then about Jack Johnson. He objected so vigor- ously to Maximilian Belvedere that his wife was com- pelled to take him in hand, or rather in the head, with the result that both landed in the police court. The judge could settle it no other way, so he finally brought about a compromise and bestowed both names upon the defenseless child. Whether it was caused by the burden of such a name or v. ' heiher he was just born under an unlucky star, it is uncertain, but, at any rate, from that day forward, Max ' s life was a series of mis- haps. And now not the least of his troubles was Ahas- uems Clematus Dide, otherwise known as Hazzy Dide. Being unacquainted with Cupid and his mischief- making darts. Max considered Hazzy the entire cause of the painful affair. For didn ' t Hazzy, just when Max had singled out Arabella Marie to be the object of his attentions, go right straight and pick her out for himself? And was there ever a nigger on the face of this earth with more impudence than that? Of course when it came right down to picking out a girl there wasn ' t any choice. Max admitted that. For Arabella Marie wore pink skirts that stuck out farther than any- body else ' s and she had ten little black braids with pink ribbons on every one of them and none of the other girls had more than six. But just the same Hazzy had no business making eyes at any girl that Max had picked out, and if he didn ' t stop it there was going to be trouble. The rivalry went on for same time without any open show of hostility. If Max brought her a rabbit foot to wear for good luck Hazzy took her a ride in his goat-cart; if Hazzy loaned her his gum to chew. Max offered her his horseshoe-nail ring to wear over night; if Max gave her half a stick of candy Hazzy brought her a piece of his mother ' s clothesline for a jumping rope. So day after day these loyal knights laid siege to the heart of their lady-love with all the wiles Cupid and lovers know of. Day after day they came laden with their offerings to tempt the smiles of Arabella Marie. But the beautiful Arabella Marie was wise after the way of women and if her little heart was fluttered by these ardent demonstrations of admiration, she gave no sign, but showered her toothy smiles alike on each. But, as all things come to an end, so must love trials. In this case the crisis was finally precipitated by a master-stroke on the part of Max. His father, in cele- brating an unexpected raise of wages, had presented him with a nickel, the first whole nickel he had ever possessed. Did you ever know what a wonderful thing it is to be the possessor of a whole nickel? Max felt like Rockefeller and Carnegie all rolled m one as he left the house with the coin securely confined beneath his tongue. Just then he saw ahead of him Arabella Marie ' s pink bows seeming to form a perky question mark that struck a note of such sudden feeling around his heart, that he gulped and nearly swallowed the nickel. Taking it out carefully and putting it in his ear for safe-keeping, he thoughtfully considered his newest idea. Should he give the nickel to Arabella Marie? Seen Paul? - What a blow that would be to Hazzy ! Across the way he spied Hazzy hurrying to catch up with her. All doubt fled. In a moment he was pressing his gift firm- ly into the hand of the astonished Arabella Marie with a grulf, Heah ' s sumthin ' foah yo ' , then turned and fled. For a moment Arabella Marie had such difficulty in keeping her eyes from popping out of her head at the sight of such munificence, that she entirely lost her power of speech. But when she did recover that im- portant organ she made use of it to such an extent that inside of half an hour, all the children in the neighbor- hood were gathered discussing it. Max walked proudly down the street with head up, shoulders back, and chest puffed out like a toy balloon. But alas ! It was thus that Napoleon marched to Water- loo. Hazzy was standing by himself leaning against a tree, and as Max passed, he gave a contemptible snort from the very depths of his bruised heart. Max stopped and eyed him pompously. What foah yo ' make dat noise, niggah? For answer Hazzy only snorted again still more loudly that at first. Max spoke once more. Say, air yo ' tu ' nin ' inter an ' engine? Cain ' t vo ' talk eny mo ' , yo ' cod-livahed coon? Cain ' t yo ' do nuthin ' but snork? I ' clah, yo ' am a puhty lookin ' howdy-do, ain ' t yo? Ho! Ho ' And overcome with amusement and exhiliration, he bent himself double. But this was too much. Hazzy, -Clara Kroft. S--3 with a lunge, had him down. Then they went to it with a hearty good will. In a moment a little crowd had gathered and foremost was Arabella Marie, watch- ing her knights do battle for the heart of their lady- love. Up and down they rolled and tumbled, first one on top and then the other. Then just when Max seemed to be getting the worst of it and Arabella Marie had nearly decided a good scrapper was better than a nickel anyway, there came a sudden cry of Cop! Max ' s unlucky star seemed once more to be in the ascendency. For Hazzy was on top and after a final punch made his get-away with the rest of the children, while Max had no sooner gained his feet than he felt a heavy hand on his shoulder and he was shaken until his teeth rattled. What do you mean by this? Haven ' t I warned you kids around here time and again to stop your fighting or 1 would report you? I ' ve put up with it long enough and I ' m tired of it. What ' s your name? Maximilian Belvedere Jack Johnson Jones, came the uncomfortable, wriggling answer. Who were you fightmg with? Has he what? Hazzy Dide. Has who died? Dat yaller-gizzahed, pig-nosed, green-eyed, snorkin ' Another shake more vigorous than the first. What do I know about any coons dying? Are you going to answer me or not? Be quick about it, too. I won ' t put up with this tomfoolery. Who was it? Ah telled yo ' , was the sullen reply. Like fun you did ! The young officer ' s anger was cooling fast. I ' ve a good notion to take you right to the station, you young rascal ! And if ever I catch you or any of the rest of them stirring up a rumpus again, you ' ll go there quicker than shooting. D ' y ' understand? I ' m going now and see your parents and try what they can do m the way of management. With a final shake he was off, leaving poor Max to melancholy visions of a renewed acquaintance with the razor-strop. He looked about but all his playmates had scattered and he was forsaken. As he was in no hurry to go home, he turned and walked slowly towards the blue drug store. As he drew near a familiar voice followed by a still more familiar laugh came to his ears and caused him to press his face closely to the screen to look in. There sat the scoundrel Ahasuems Clematus Dide and the unfaithful Arabella Marie, sipping a soda bought with his nickel! Was there ever fate more cruel? For an instant his fists clenched and he started to open the door. Then he paused for a moment, slowly turned, and, unseen by those within, slipped away, a sadder and wiser Max. —.Agnes Bam, ' 16. ThG Wishing Method. ' m IF we would only do and not wish quite so much, I am certam life would be more like the desired bed of roses and less like the haled thorns. Wishing, as ap- plied to the minor details of life or to the highest, can do little harm and then again can do much. The other day a woman, about middle age, was oc- cupying the seat in front of me in the interurban car. Another woman of about the same age came in at one of the small towns along the way, taking the other half of the seat. Judging bv the delighted greetings, they were old friends who seldom met. As I was alone, and their conversation was carried on in very clear tones, I could not help overhearing it. The last arrival asked, looking curiously at her companion by the window, Have you been sick? I never saw you look so pale. No, I haven ' t been sick, was the reply, but It ' s just the worry over the children — Why, they are all married and doing well, her friend interrupted; why do you worry over them? I didn ' t mean my own children, I forgot that you didn ' t know where I live now. After the children were married and gone, I sold the big house and rented half of a new double house that ' s been built since you moved away. It ' s a splendid place and I could be so comfort- able if It wasn ' t for the children in the other part. They nearly drive me crazy. Their mother is raising them by the plan of ' wishing ' they would do things in- stead of ' making ' them do. She says it won ' t do to give commands and that a child ought to be allowed to de- velop according to his own desire and will. She has lots of books on the subject of rearing children and reads and reads. The other day she had a new book on the subject and was just buried in it. I heard china jingling, and I peeped in at her dining room door. There was Sarah Bell dancing on the top of the side- board. I just shut the door and let her dance, for it wasn ' t any of my business. At the same time, Charles Leroy was out in the kitchen with a silver spoon and the best china cup, making a paste by dipping ashes from the stove and mixing them with water. He spread this mixture, in various designs, on the floor and on the work-table, and I must say that kitchen was a sight. What did she do with them? was the horrified Nothing, was the reply in a disgusted tone. By the time she was through exclaiming ' Why, Sarah Bell and Charles Leroy! ' they were upstairs planning up Do they ever come into your side of the house? asked her friend, sympathetically. Do they? Well, I should smile! When I have call- ers they come in and do the entertaining until I ' m so mortified I can ' t enjoy company at all. I told her about it one day, and she called them and said, ' Children, I do wish you wouldn ' t go into auntie ' s rooms when she has company. ' But they came just the same. I was away the other day and when I came home all my lily bulbs, almost ready to bloom were pulled out of the water and were being dried over the register. I told their mother and she said it was just like her children, always trying experiments. She imagined they thought the flowers would bloom quicker if warmed up. Sh seemed to think it showed wonderful reasoning power. Maybe it did, but the lilies never bloomed. The other night I went up to the bathroom (the hall and the stairway and the bathroom are in partnership) and I didn ' t turn on the hall light before I started. I stumbled and fell over something in the upper hall, and, do vou know? Those little rascals had carried a lot of then- best books from the book case and piled them up there. Their mother had been to a mother ' s meeting and didn ' t get in until after dark. She asked them to tell mamma why they had worked so hard, carrying the heavy books upstairs. She then told me that the little dears had been playing with the water in the bathroom and imagined there was a big flood coming to wash the house away, so they had built a dam across the bath room door. Perhaps it was quite as cunning as their mother seemed to think, but the wrench it gave my back is not well yet. This morning when I was all ready to start, I couldn ' t find my jacket and hat. I was sure I had brought them down stairs, but to make sure I looked everj-where. Just as I was growing desperate over missing the car, I saw Sarah Bell way down the street, wearing them. I ' m afraid I wasn ' t ' very gentle about taking them off, for I heard the car whistling and she fought like a little t the I had to le find a plac double hoi take half , half had two childi Bell and Charles Leroy. had stopped at my station and ve wondering if that poor soul would ever where she could get the much needed rest. w the name of the family who used the nethod and I don ' t know what town that ;e is in ; but if I should ever be forced to house, I ' d inquire if the folks in the other id if their names were Sarah ,• Miller ' 17. Who Are They? Of all the art and learning fair. And masters of the deeds of yore. We have as master of our school, And wielder of the birch and rule A man of greatest range in thought. And who for many years has taught And ruled his school with greatest care. Now, who is he? Another man, I ' m glad to say. Lays down the laws for every day; He knows Geometry by heart. Of other books a greater part; He leads the boys in basket-ball To give some neighboring town a call. I ' ll ask of you, if such I may. Now, who is he? This man was once a farmer lad And of this fact he should be glad. His knowledge and experience much Helps him to keep the boys in touch With agriculture and the farm; As manual training has it ' s c harm He teaches this to urchins bad. Now, who is he? A pretty maid with dark brown eyes. In English and in Rhetoric wise; She wants to know and catch the boys Who in the assembly make such noise. She asks us to write stories long. And verses of poetic song. And recipes for favorite pies. Now, who is she? Complexion dark and hair as black. In foreign tongues she does not lack ; She ' s whipped the Germans fair and square And given old Caesar his just share. She never scolds except for noise; She says the girls will beat the boys; And we should always say attack. Now, who is she? Our music teacher quit one day And left our town without delay. And then there came a maiden fair. With bright blue eyes and golden hair. Then everything was all right soon. And the whole school was back in tune. And traveling the harmonious way. Now, who is she? —William Werne Do OLz HemenilDGr? SAY, J,m. don ' t It make you sick to hear the old folks talk about the people they used to know) The other day my uncle Frank Hickman came up to our house with Aunt Lizzie and of all the chatter you ever heard ! It was much worse than the night those two tom-cats met on our wood shed. I had just come in from school and was in a hurry to get a theme. 1 had forgotten about it until I heard the fellows talking about it on the way home from school and I knew mine was due the first period after dinner. Don ' t know as I ever heard much of that talk. What is It like? Well, you see Uncle Frank lives down there in the country by IVlillville. That ' s a little town down the river. It is pretty well out in the grubs. Used to be quite a mill there, but it burned down and the ice took the dam out, so all there is left is an old store and a post office, both of which are in the same building. Good country around there, though. Yes, I understand all this but what was it all about, that talk that was so terrible? Oh, it wasn ' t so terrible, but it got on my nerves. First Dad said, ' Is Abe Lampson still around there ? He was a great fellew. Used to know him back in Ohio. He came here the next spring after we did. ' About that time Aunt Lizzie would chime in, ' Wasn ' t he the one that married Sam Watson ' s oldest girl? Le ' me see, what was her name? I know it just as well as I know my own. What was it, Frank? Amy, yes, .Amy, that is what it was. He married her and they done well, too. Old man Watson let him have that hundred and si.xty just east of him, where old Linckenburg used to live and he done well there. Finally bought it of the old man for seventy-live dollars an acre. Dirt cheap too for that place, but he made it what it was. ' Then Mamma and Aunt Lizzie would start, ' How did your chickens come out, Lizzie? ' ' Oh, they did just fine. Had two old hens that had seventeen chickens apiece. Two big Plymouth Rock hens they were and certainly good mothers, too. They would— ' ' Say, Lizzie, ' said Uncle Frank, ' Who was that young fellow that moved on the old Kepner place, the one that lost his boy last spring? ' ' Ed Downey? ' ' Oh, yes, Ed Downey, that was his name. ' And Uncle Frank continued to spin off his yarn, while Aunt Lizzie went into detail concerning the good qualities of those two old hens. And that is the way it went. Uncle Frank told about selling all his hogs but three, and how old Bess, that was one of the horses, cut herself on the fence. Mixed in with this was the life history of all the 4 people in that community. Once Dad asked about some fellow and I guess Aunt Lizzie didn ' t think much of him, for she drew her face up till it looked like a pretzel with cramps. I could have learned who everyone married and where they moved to, and all about them, but I couldn ' t stand it so I ate dinner in a hurry and the as quick as I could, which was none too so I went out I heard someone say, ' She was vin ' s girl and — ' Well, by that time, I was c going some. —Paul Wasser, got away 1. Just as idow Mar- t A Thrilling JS pGrience. THE professor had delivered a lecture in a strange town and, with the results of his labor in his left hip pocket, he retired to his room, where he put the wallet under the pillow. No sound was heard. All was as still as the bosom of a fried chicken after the spirit has departed. He needed sleep but the fear of being robbed kept him awake. He recalled hov the desire for wealth had often led even the mildest man to take a short cut to wealth by committing murder. The professor shud- dered. However, he soon dropped to sleep. He probably did not know what caused him to wake. Some slight sound or other, no doubt He opened his eyes wildly. He probably could not have opened them any wider without their falling out. He heard a slight movement in the corner and the low regular breathing of a human being. Each time it lieve the profess or. Probably it w as not done for that purpose.

Also another sigh later on. The professor decided to light the gas and fight it out. You have no doubt seen a man light a match on the leg of his pantaloons. Perhaps you have also seen an absent minded man attempt to do so, forgetting that said garment hung on the back of a chair at the other end of the room. However, he lighted the gas with his left hand, keep- ing the reolver pointed towards the dark corner where the breathing was still going on. Hearing the shot the people of the hotel rushed in, hoping no doubt that the professor had committed sui- cide. But instead of this they found that the professor had shot the valve off the steam radiator. —Vera Long, ' 19. IDehorerih BEHIND every song there lies a singer, and behind one of the oldest, noblest lyrics in the world, the ' Song of Deborah, ' must be a woman worthy of our acquaintance and study. She lived in a free, wild primitive age. And we will study her figure against this background. Israel was without a king, without any real leader, and the different tribes were scattered and separated. Civilization was in the earliest stages. The weapons were rude, and they had few implements to work with, and were always in constant fear of foreign foes and this often made travel impossible. As there was no central government, there arose a succession of dictators who were called Judges. They raised armies of volunteers and aroused Israel to a brief resistance against tyranny. Such was Samson, whose physical energy accomplished no permanent good. But in Deborah ' s day there was not even a Samson to lead the army. The Canaaniles oppressed Israel cruelly. Then at this time arose Deborah, who had power not only to sing but also to act. She could not only write Israel ' s Marsellaise, but she could lead the armies that her songs inspired. For a time she sat under the palm tree and judged the people. Thus she learned their poverty and despair. She saw their homes vanishing, children carried captive and faith in God dying out. So she was determined to act. She selected Barak as her leader. She commanded him to raise an army of 1 0,000 men and strike a sud- den blow. He wanted her to go with him, so she con- sented. Messengers were sent out and a little later 10,000 men were assembled under Barak and Deborah. Deborah ' s army drew up on the slope of Mt. Tabor, and across the plain they could see the famous nine m ■ri. m ' .f|- hundred chariots of the enemy driving to position. It was a terrifying sight for her soldiers had only the rudest weapons. Barak hesitated and did not wish to advance. Bui Deborah cried Up, Barak, and lead thy captivity capt- ive! Up! for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hands. The 10.000 Israel- inder their woman leader rushed down the slope th their chariots, n became a mass entangled. The 1 fought with of Tabor. The Canaanites came on wi and the two nations met in battle. Suddenly a storm broke and the plai of mud in which the chariots were Israelites, seeing their God in the stt marvelous courage, while despair settled i Canaanites. The Canaanites fled and one of the great- est victories of the world was won by Deborah. There is no finer poetry than that in which she sang the event. The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased. Until that Deborah arose. That I arose a mother m Israel. n he goeth n bold- It seems we can hear the storm breaking in, They fought from heaven The stars in their courage fought against Sisera. Then after all this is not a victory of Deborah but of Jehovah. So let thine enemies perish, Lord, But let them that love him be as the sun whe forth in his might. No character in the Old Testament stands ( er relief than Deborah, woman, minstrel, and soldiei Her song has proved immortal because her deed was heroic and sublime. Deborah ' s lyric was the finest fruit of a heroic life. Such a song taught the people that faith is mightier than the chariots. Israel had at first believed that they should rely on brute force and that God was on the side of the strongest. Deborah ' s victory taught the people that the chief requisite is the spirit of faith in a living God. It was the faith of one woman, compared to the grain of mustard seed moving the mountain. — MyrtleKilander, ' 16. Simon I eter OF all the New Testament characters, there are none that stand out so strikingly, and with such sim- plicity as Simon Peter. He was not a Theologian as John the Baptist, nor was he a mystic as John the Evangelist, but a plain blunt man that spoke the com mon needs of his own class, the uneducated people. He was a native of Bethsaida and a son of Jonas. At the time of his meeting with Jesus, he was living with his wife, Concordia, and mother-in-law at Capernaum, on the north bank of lake Galilee, where he was oc- cupied as a fisherman. His life may be divided into three periods: first, in which timidity entirely rules his life; second, the strug- gle between timidity and a new principle, courage; and third, in which timidity vanishes, and courage be- comes the dominant note of his life. Many critics have placed the brand of cowardice upon him, and have ac- cused him of being inconsistent, yet his inconsistency lies not in his own weakness, but in his strength. It was the divine about him, and drew him more near Jesus. He was a brave man at heart and possessed a soul of fire, which was shown by his love toward his master. It seems that he was more intimate than any of the Apostles with Jesus, for the ta.x collector asked him if his master paid tribute; and to him and John, was given the duty of providing the lamb for the paschal supper, although Judas carrie d the purse. The whole keynote of Peter ' s character — courage warring against cowardice — was struck when he was walking on the sea to meet his master. His lov id his utter forgetfulne act. But as we already know, his just before he reached the Master pelled to take the helping hand e; ised this impulsive :ourage failed hin and he was com ended toward hin In the four books of the Savior ' s life and death, Peter frequently declares his faith in Jesus and says, warm- ly, that he would lay down his life for him. And again his love is manifested, when he impulsively cut off the ear of one of the soldiers in the garden of Gethsemane. Yet we are deeply disappointed when Peter ' s courage failed him in the vital moment, as he followed Jesus and his captors afar off, and indignantly denied companion- ship with the man, in whom, so short a time before, he had declared his faith. Jesus forgave him and accepted his renewed profes- sions and gave him a new commission to work in his It was on the day of Pt ■anished and he became th t Peter ' s timidity il man of courage that we so much admire. It was also on this marked day that he preached the marvelous sermon, which in results, has remained without a rival, even to the pres- ent. He performed miracles, and, by a miracle, pun- ished with death two who had tried an experiment on the omniscience of the Holy Ghost, and rebuked Simon the magician at Samaria, who wished to buy the secret of working miracles. At Joppa, he was taught in a vision that the ancient ritualistic distinctions between clean and unclean were abolished or that the Gentles were to have the saving power as well as the Jews. While preaching at Jerusalem, he was put into prison by King Herod, but was later released by an angel. He, the first of any Christians to advocate exemption from the law of Moses. Later, at Antioch, Paul rebuked him for timidly dissembling on the question of the equality of the Jews and Gentiles. At Babylon, he wrote the first epistle of St. Peter, about 63 A. D. As for the rest of his life, we have only tradition, which says that he traveled, as Paul did, among the cities and churches to which his epistles are addressed, in Pontus. Galatia, Bithynia, Capadocia and Asia. His visit to Rome established the foundation for the dispute between Catholicism and Protestantism. The tradition of his visit to Rome takes two forms. One shows that Peter and Paul worked together at Rome, and that they founded the church, and suffered martyrdom together. The other tradition shows Peter as an opponent of a certain false man called Simon Magus, who was said to be St. Paul under a light dis- guise; it shows Peter pursumg him through many lands and finally in Rome, triumphing over him and dying a martyr ' s death. The first legend is called the Petro-legend and the second, the Simonian. There is a great dispute and question over which is the original form. The first says that the two were friends and fellow workers, and the second, that they were bitter enemies. Yet the latter conception is historically prior to the former. There- fore, it follows that the Simonian legend is the earlier and is the parent of the former, the Petro-legend. The proof that St. Peter visited Rome lies not only in the absence of rival tradition, but that there are many sources of evidence to prove his visit. There is the evidence of official lists and documents of the Catholic church which rests on earlier evidence. And yet it seems impossible for us to imagine that Peter worked in Rome before Paul came, for after Paul ' s arrival, he ex- cludes from all his epistles, the name of Peter nor any mention of him whatever. Therefore it seems as though he had not visited Rome at the beginning of Paul ' s captivity. We are led therefore to the conclusion that Peter had not come to Rome until long after Paul had been thrown into prison. The death of the Apostles occurred under the terrible reign of Nero, about 65 A. D., Paul being beheaded and Peter, at his own request, by being cruci- fied head downward. Peter ' s motto. Forasmuch as Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mind. ex- pressed all his loyalty and devotion to his master. -Mabel Galbreath, ' 17. igs ' — Paul W.isso Greetings from Pornier Teachers I am glad to have the opportunity of saying a few words to the class of ' 16, before you leave W. H. S. It is needless for me to tell you that my thoughts are with you at this season of the year. Although I am several hundred miles away from you, yet I find time to let my mmd wander back to Winamac and I can see you workmg hard on the Totem, hustling costumes for your Senior Play, and assuming the expression of digni- fied Seniors at your Junior reception. I can assure you that I look back upon the three years spent in the Winamac High School with nothing but pleasant memories. Through the Totem I would give my regards to all who were at any time my pupils. I wish for every member of the Freshman class of 1913 a most successful and happy life. FLORA FRAZIER. Totem Staff: — Little did I realize when I left your ranks last May that I would be writing to you from Colorado at this time. It affords me great pleasure to write to you, as Seniors of the class ' 1 6, and to wish you the greatest of success in the tasks that you will be called upon to perform as you journey forth from the doors of the Winamac High School. Western country is most fascinating and I sincerely trust that if any of you become fabously rich from rural teaching that you will not fail to come out where the West begins. Out where the landscape ' s a little stronger. Out where the smile dwells a little longer. That ' s where the West begins. Out where the sun is a wee bit brighter. Where the snows that fall are a trifle whiter. Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter. That ' s where the West begins. Out where the world is in the making. Where fewer hearts with despair are aching, That ' s where the West begins. Where there ' s more of singing and less of sighing. Where there ' s more of giving and less of buying. And a man makes friends without half trying. That ' s where the West begins. — Arthur Chapman Most Sincerely. Supr. Music and Art, LELA M. RAHM. Fort Morgan, Colo. Class of ' 16: Your kind invitation e.xtended me to take up a little space in the Totem this year makes me think again I.aiMTs.-— Mr, Millinllaii.l. } of the days spent in the Winamac High School. 1 think I can say, without danger of exaggeration, that thev were the happiest of my school-teaching days. And yet as I look back it hardly seems possible that those Sophomores can have grown into Seniors and will soon leave the school forever. I have been in Humboldt, S. Dak., two years. I have a small high school here, and not as much interest is put into high school work as was found in Winamac. Yet I am enjoying the work very much. But nowhere, since I left Wmamac, have I found that interest and enthusiasm which are such great factors in school work. With the completion of the new high school building, you ought to make old Winamac High second to none m Indiana. I not only wish the Totem to be successful, but to each of you, the Senior class, and to all my friends in Winamac, I wish the greatest success possible. C. H.

H. S. lost seven of the twelve games played this season. it proved itself the strongest the school has ever pos- sessed. The team played stiffer games this year than ever before, but owing to the irregularity of the schedule and the inconsistency of courts, unfortunately we came out at the short end of the Ime. However, the team was fortunate m havmg three experienced players (Seniors) Hodgen, Fritz and Dennis all having played since their Freshman year, with Grabner, Smith. Falvey and Wasser equally as good. The first four games of the season were played by Seniors. On Nov. 12th the Rochester quintet came to Win- amac for the first game of the season, but were de- feated by a score of 28 to 23. This team annexed the championship m their district last year. On the fol- lowing Friday night we met the Lacrosse five on the home floor and were again victorious with a score of 52 to 9. The Winamac team journeyed to Culver Nov. 24th, where they played equally as good a game as did the lake lads, holding them to a tie score the first half, but finally losing the game 40 to 20. The fourth and roughest game of the season was played at Medarvville, Dec. 3rd, resulting with a score of 37 to 21 m favor of the west-siders. The Monticello vs. Winamac game was the only one lost on the home floor, the score read- ing 40 to 26. The Winamac five with two carloads of rooters went to Rochester Jan. 7th, expecting to hold the east-siders to a close score, but, for lack of teamwork, were cleanly defeated, 73 to 12. The boys traveled to Monticello Jan. 14th and really won the game 22 to 20, but, failing to have a timekeeper, were beaten 24 to 22 in an overtime game. A second time the home team was defeated 40 to 3 1 by the husky Me- daryville bunch. This was a much cleaner game than the previous one played at that place. On Feb. 5th the Winamac boys in the best game of the season defeated Culver 34 to 24, on the home floor.

WINAMAC High School played its first Base Bal! game at Kewanna. Dennis and Falvey formed the battery with Long at first base, Grabner second base, Wasser short stop. Smith third base. Hoffman left field, Gordon center field, and Fritz right field. The boys lost by a close score, but avenged themselves in a return game two weeks later. The third game was played at Knox, where the boys easily outplayed the Starke county nine. This completed this out door sport until spring, when three more games were played, two with Star City and one with Kewanna, all resulting m our favor.

This year, however, the gym had a girls ' night on which the girls were to have an hour after school one evening a week for training. A girls ' athletic association was organized with Hazel Degner as president, and Pearl Goodpaster as coach. Two teams were then organized, a first team and a second team. The girls turned out very well once a week for practice and we soon had pretty fair teams, considering the fact that some had never played basket ball before. One game was played with the town team — the H. S. team being victorious. There is great promise of some good material among the girls for basket-ball. Acl -ice to the I ovelorn f 3:- By Sophio . Mildude. Having all my life been a recipient and Cupid ' s most fatal darts, and knowing it impossible to undo the mischief I have dc the next best way by devoting my life as balm for those suffering from like causes, fectly fitted for this, for I know only too agonizing throes which come to Two eggs with but a single yolk.

(For further advice please send self-addressed stamped envelope to 5360 Slush St., Hullabaloo, Utah.) I feel per- well those may have the :h that longed- Dear Miss Mildude : I am being very much embarrassed by the unsought for attention of several young ladies of the high school, especially of the sophomore class. I see no reason why I should thus be tormented for I have tried for two years to peacefully pursue my high school education. I have always tried to be exceedingly modest and care- ful in my dress. I black my shoes every morning and spend at least forty-five minutes making my toilette. So you see in every way I try to efface myself from every possible conspicuosity. Please advise me if I have failed in any way in my endeavors to evade my too numerous girl admirers. Yours Trulv, JOHNM. SPADES. I received your letter and can say that I sympathize with you greatly. My own experience in life has been similar. My method of escaping this great annoyance would be for you to be less careful about your dress. Do not comb your hair so smoothly; wear a red sweat- er; do not press your trousers so often and black your shoes but once a week. If you do not wish to be ex- tremely polite to your lady friends, at least show some degree of courtesy, for you r success in life will not be the greatest if you do not mingle with the fair sex. Dear Miss Mildude— I am a Senior of the Winamac High School and am known as a student of no mean ability. Yet with this reputation, I think I have a most trying position to fill. The fact is that I am very, very bashful, my face turns a brilliant crimson every time I am brought to notice. I consider this one of the greatest afflictions that could be placed upon anyone. Will you please tell me how •fc -— to overcome it? I have tried n various ways but they se m of no avail Please rec ommend something, for J eel that if I an a not cured Tiy mission in the world ca n not be fully accomplished ANTHONY. Your condition is only that of thousands of others. Ba shfulness must be overcome by weeks, months and ev en years of se ere struggle . I have given several oi the young ge itlemen in your class recipes for a liquid face powd  r that when applied looks like tan. If enough of thi IS put on I guarantee it to cover bli shes. Please send stamped envelope for particulars. Dear Miss Mildude— We are four nice looking girls considered by some to be quite pretty. We want your advice in a school mat- ter. We have been dismissed from a class whose teach- er we greatly admire. It is such a sorrow to lose all that time of gazing at him that we have all lost several pounds since our dismissal. Besides there is another girl about our age whom we know he is greatly inter- ested in, and we fear that we shall lose out entirely if he is left to her influence. Dear Miss Mildude, please help us in our great affliction and we will always remain Your Devoted, EMIRA, BYRN, ANIN. Z EHAL. Your teacher must be very handsome or he not be so popular. Would you mind sending name and address? Be happy and cheerful so that hi ild will thi.nk you really do not care. This attitude of in- difference will often pique attention. Pretend to be interested in other affairs and people. Fate only can do the rest, but if you follow up my instructions you will probably win your case. But remember you are still young and that Cupid ' s darts are not necessarily fatal in youth. Perhaps if you would diet yourself on soup beans and cabbage you would regain your lost flesh. My Dear Miss Mildude— I am writing to you of a matter which has troubled me for several months. A certain young man in this town, whom I greatly admire, does not treat me as I would like for him to do. Last fall he went with a friend of mine who stayed at my home. Whenever he made a call I was quite friendly, so at length, he quit my friend and made frequent calls on me. In a short while, however, we quarreled and now he is going with my friend again. I have pondered and shed many tears over the situation. I do not think it right for her to entertain him in my home when she knows how I care. I feel that I cannot endu of affairs continues. Wha much dot : life longer if such a state t can I do to win him back despair, ELONA. poison cost? surely a trying one, but you mu-st be brave and patient. Still, I do not advise you to try to win him back, for it would be no true lady ' s act. Console yourself by mingling with other young people. Perhaps some day you will find someone who will be far more attractive to you. Whatever you do, do not worry, and at all events do not do anything rash. (I have a lotion for broken hearts that I sell for fifty cents a bottle.) Miss Mildude— I am a brilliant There is one litl whom I especially admire.

I enjoyed it so much and only regretted as I left that the time had been too short to make two dates instead of one. I would like to know how I might bring about this situa- tion again. Yours hopefully, H. H. H. H. — You seem to be quite a progressive young man. It is a great pleasure for me to correspond with such as you. I should advise you to visit the young lady in her home rather than after classes. (If you find difficulty in expressing yourself on occasions of your calls, I have a pamphlet entitled Dates and Darts which I am sure would be of great use to you. Price 25c.)

Mr. Geiser — Richard, you may answer the next question. It ' s a grand opportunity for you. You know all that Americans want is an opportunity. — (Pause) — The chance is yours, why don ' t you take it? — No one is hindering you or stepping on your dress to pull you back. nan I — Ed Ewing answered a questio s follows: Nein, mein Herr. Henry Grabner, greatly worried on account of his steadv increase of avoirdupois, went to a doctor one day and consulted him. The doctor recommended a diet and told Henry what he should and should not eat. Henry joyfully went his way. After two weeks he came back to the doctor ' s office stouter than ever. The doc- tor questioned him: Did you eat what I told you to? Sure, but it is no use, replied Henry. Are you sure you did not eat anything I told you not to? questioned the doc. Yes, I am sure, except of course my regular meals. One morning in January, when it was five degrees below zero.
