EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT
WITH the present issue, begins the Eleventh Volume of THE ADVOCATE and is with pleasure, marred somewhat by the responsibility we feel, that we take up our new duties as editor. It shall be our earnest endeavor to give our readers a bright, newsy high school magazine, and in doing this we need the hearty co-operation of the entire student body. At least three-fourths of the students should subscribe to THE ADVOCATE. THE ADvocATE is not published for three or four hundred students, but is published for every member of the Matter for publication will be gratefully received by the editor. It will be our policy not to increase or decrease the size of the paper, but to improve the quality.

Sophomore Department
• _ The Class of 1907 has now commenced its second year in the high school. We are bound to come out on top and be the best class in the High School. Our class .has had many troubles, but when we look back over the year just passed, we can plainly see we have made a good start. We certainly were the " Banner Class " in THE AovocATE subscriptions, for we have the banner. Our parties have always been a success and that adds to our reputation. But let us not rest upon our past glory • but press forward, seeking future glory, which will lead to the cry " long live '07."
Our class meetings are not so bad as Dr . Wolfe thinks . We had fiftyfive out at our last meeting.
We are glad to see representatives of our class on the football field. They ··are bound to win places on the team, for they have got the . energy in them.

Two factions had arisen in the W. -H. D. S. and one evening one of these, upon being unable to elect their men to office, Jetired to the outside and began throwing brick-bats through the windows. It was then that an .honorable disbandment took place among the remaining members .

Rthletics
Athletics have again started off with a vim, by the showing made the first nights of football practice.
The bad form of high tackling has been the least felt for several seasons, and every player tackles low and hard. This one point is a sure sign the "goose hangs high" this season. At first the line was rather light and slim, but one by one, the men are making good, and the line is practically made up with a possible exception of tackle. Captain Saults holds his old place at left end and other good men are making a good showing for the other side. The back field had a limited number of men, but now we have a back field with a reputation for certain
Here is the schedule for the football season:
Oct. I.-Pawnee City H. S. at Pawnee City. Oct. 8.-Beatrice H. S. at Beatrice . Oct . Is-Omaha H. s. at Omaha. Oct. 22-West DesMoines H.S. at W . DesMoines, Oct. 29- York H. S. at Lincoln. Sanderson's Shoes are always right

COOK wtth I GAS
Economical Scientific Hygenic
COOK WITH GAS- No half cooked, half eaten breakfasts, and then a run for the school house, when gas is the fuel used in preparing the breakfast. No long waiting for the fire to burn when the wind .is in the wrong direction, and finally the children must be sent to school with a cold breakfast, hastily eaten, im'perfectly digested.
COOK WITH GAS-It is up to the parents to protect the children's health. Sending children to school with half cooked breakfasts and little time left for eating it, is sowing seeds of disease for future reaping.
COOK WITH GAS and do away with smoke, soot, coal, ashes and dust. Gives the housekeeper more time; the children better health; and the father smaller fuel bills to pay

SENIOR
The class h eld a regular meeting Friday after the 7th in room 204. There is not as much spirit and enthus iasm this year as we . would wish the members to have in their senior year. You doubtless feel, many of you, that there are things g-oing on under the head and leadership of the class that you yourself do not agree to or approve of. But this is only a thing- to be overcome, for how could you expect the interests and wi hes of as many people as are involved in the class of 1905 to have their opinions the sam e as yours? This is impossible, but by comin g to the class meeting and taking an interest in the proceedings of the class you may be able to do a great deal in the way of influencing the class the way yon think is the right way. Another thing- that is of great importance to the class is the obtainance of the class pin. A class without a pin is as a nation without a flag. Every nation has its established banner or flag- that disting-ttishes it from oth'er nations. For this same reason every class should have an emb lem and every member should be owner of one. One should look on a class pin in a very different light from which it is looked upon by many. It should be a thing of consolat ion and enjoyment to you, and every member of our class should have :mel wear a 1905 class p in There has been

NERO
(Ded icated to Dr. Wolfe.)
Now Nero lived amidst his courtly throng,
And let his subjects die alone unwept, \Vhilst on the northern borders strong T h e well led hordes of German footmen swept.
And though in war with half the then known world
He felt no care but let his mind go free, Though sout h the awful hordes of Germans hurled,
He on ly thought of pleasure and of revelry.
And as the Christians came upon the din T h e Emp'ror Nero in his wrath arose And then to punish them for awful 'sin'
Forth used the power to ki ll them as he ch ose.
And t h en when all his cruelties they took With meekness caused of suffering and woe, And their religion half the empire shook,
And almost dared his throne to overt h row .
And then to make his subjects fee l the hate
That he did feel t.owards the Christian race , By hi s command he dealt on Rome the fate
That in the future shou ld destroy the place.
And with a h eart of stone and mind that ought Not soi l the page of hist'ry of the earth
Set fire to Rome, and then the blame he sou ght
To lay upon the Christian martyr hearth. Now die, oh cr u elest of the cruelest men!
Oh die to hist'ry as you did to Rome! And may th ere never suc h as you again Claim right to sit upon a monarch's throne.
Though you h ad never bui lt a tower
O r territory gained aro und your home, You li ve, and shall , for future hour, 'fhe crue l est despot ever ruling Rome.

"Doesn't it fit?" he asked.
"It fits a ll righ t, but I won't wear it," she answe r ed. "I'm not your wife, I'm only your cook and your mistress."
Robert pocketed it and pulled her onto his k n ee, not unkindly, but roughly.
"You're my property, anyway," he said, "so ju st behave, will yott ?" And h e tried to kiss h er.

"Don't be so sure o£ that; I can drag your so ul in the dust." ·Th en he laugh ed aloud, ·'Kill you? Not much. Does a man kill his prize brood mare? You're mine and, so help me God, I'll brand you nice lik e I brand them!"

COOK WITH GAS-It is u p to the parents to protect the children's hea l th. Sending children to school with half cooked breakfasts and little time left for eating it, is sowing seeds of d isease for f uture reaping.
COOK WITH GAS and do away with smoke, soot, coal, a;hes and d u st Give the housekeeper more time; the children better health; and the father smaller f u el bills to pay.

The students of t h e Lincoln High have not yet had a chance to see the football team play a good game. One week from Saturday will be yo u r fi r st chance to see what the team can do. They are going to p lay York. We have not heard much from York so far this year. They are working in their quiet, peaceful way. T h ey will come to Lincoh1 with a heavy team, expecting to win all the g lorie . Now, students, save up your patrioti m. Just as soon as the ticket are ready get some and get out and sell them. We want a large crowd at that game, because it is one of the most important aames of t h e season.
T h e choo l does not show an y lack of pirit. Last Wednesday morning when you were practicing the new song , it seems as if everybody entered into them with all the spirit they h ad. Now if we should use t h is kind of spirit w h en York, Omah a and East Des Moines come here, we certain ly can w1n from them. The football team will have no doubt that the schoo l is standing behind them with good support.
T h e car Is came out Monday , and n o doubt there a r e a few sad hea.rted people in sch oo l. Don't worry over your low marks, because worryin g wi ll make it all t h e worse. Put a l itt le gi n ge r in you and say, "I am going to r atse my mark."
There is a considerable amount of kicking ab o ut th e short story in last week's paper. The ed it o r will not continue the story. It is said by some of the teachers not to be good literat_ure for high school students.
Student , do not talk in chap el. It is very rud e. If you are not interested in the affairs of sch ool and do not desire to come to chapel , pl ease go to the librar y Do not come and talk to yo ur neighbor wh o wants to sing or h ear what is being said from the platform. \Ve cann ot have chapel wh en the pupils sit and talk. The most of you do not know how e mbarrassina it is to get up beforean audience where at l east one-third are talking. Fro:n t h e platform you can s ee every pupil and you can al so see wh e th e r he is talking or paying attention. Th e majority of the high school tudents want chapel. Now , the rest of you will you p lease sit till and keep quiet or go som e where else?

flas h y vulgarity of his clothes and of his manners was very notic ea ble, especially when contrasted to h er quietness. His conversation was audible to all the passengers and tlus fact apparent ly embar ra ssed the young lad y.
The conductor was collecting the fare . The "di.1de" drew a quarter from a leather purse and tossed it in his hand. Simultaneo us ly the girl opened a tiny hand bag and t ook out a coin .
"Oh ! let me foot the bill," excla imed her fr iend "I've got m oney to burn. Cash is a ter ribl e bore to me sometimes."
She thanked him g raci ous ly.
T h e young fe ll ow st ill tos eel th quarter into the air. But "pride o-oeth before a fall.'" T h e quarter lipped and disappeared between t h e back of the seat and the window.
An expression of blank dismay appeared upon hi s face. Then the young man blushed fur io us ly. He spoke a few inaudibl e words to h er, but not with the same se l f-assurance as before.
She comprehended the situation immediate ly, and gracefully offered th e conductor a cl im e. The passengers were politely quiet until a sma ll b oy laughed h ea rtil y. Then everyone laughed uncontrollably.
Whereupon the man left the car.

0 'eniors had a pie feed Vn in the dining hall ___ .::very one was there, eniors great and small. And when we were assembled, Simpson, the auctioneer, Began to barter the pies off In voice both loud and clear. ''Pies, pies, lovely pies; Apple , pumpkin, peach and pear! First, second and last chance, Sold to the boy over there. " Some boys gallantly did bid
For the pies of the girls they loved best, And when they ' d gone up two dollars and more
They won them from the rest. And Bryant called in strenuous tones Till the sweat clown his face did stream , Yet three boys sat like bumps on a log And he could not wake them from their dream.
Poor Byron wa so elated That he had won his pie, But all his joy did vanish
When the footba ll boys came by. When t h e sale wa over We found to our o-lacl surprise That the treasury was o'erflowing From the money from the pies. Long live the Senior ciass, · Firm may she ever stand, A model to the high school, And t h e happiest crowd in the land!

Let us take the law relating to cigarettes and tobacco, and which o ur present state superintendent of public instruction (as well as former State Superintendent Jackson) deemed so important that he had t h e law, toget h er with hi s ruling and suggestions, printed in pamphlet fo rm , and sent to county and city superintendents. principals of sc h oo ls and members of school boards. T h e law is as follows: "No person in the sta t e shall sell, give 01' furnish any ciga1'ette or cigarettes or tobacco in any of its fonns to any minor under eig ht een years of age; t hat if any person, or persons in this state s hall violate the provisions of this act, h e, she, or they shall , on conviction forfeit and pay fo r each and eve r y such offe n se the s um of twenty-five dollars." The foregoing applies to tobacco in any of it s forms. The law r e lati n g to ciga rett es and cio-a r ette paper i far more stri ngent , viz.: aT hat hereafter no person, or persons in this state s hall se ll , give away, o r furnish any cigarettes or ciga r ette paper in any form whateve r to any minor under the age of twentyone.

The Sophomore-Freshman game was not well att<.>nded, but those who went to the F. & l\1. park last Friday ce r tain ly saw a good game. The first half went rather slow and on ly six points were made. In the second half the Freshmen got tired out and the Sophomores made many sensational p lays. Th<.> Freshmen have a good team, but they are not • equa l to t h e Sop h omores. The second half raised the score to 23 to o in favor of the Sophomores. The most exciting play was made by "l\'fun" Vlilliams, who made an eighty yard r un st r aight t h ro u g h big and litt1e Frcshies, and gained a touchdown. Ira Da r:s. Richard \Valli s, and Nate Hollman ¥.-·ere some · of the stars of the gan1e. The score p :w. cs the following :
(a) "Here's to nineteen seven dauntless as a football ' Ieven."
(b) "\Ve're hot stuff, T11at's no bl u ff, We play football. Never get eno u gh."
It is expected that we wi ll play the Juniors in the near future.
The class party was a great success. The classm en began to assemble in the Library about 7 :30 and by 8 o'clock everything was on full sway. The swapping game was very exciting and when all was over, each had something if it was only a hair-pin, brick bat, !coking glas or even a piece of paper. The football boys all made a speech and in that way added to the pleasure of the evening. r\t a seasonable hour refreshments were served and all retired to their homes.
A lthough some three Freshmen and a few more Juniors tried to break up the party, it went on just the same.
Come to cla s meeting next Friday in room Jj.

EDI'rORIAL
The question that is being discussed among the members of the faculty and by Dr. Wolfe is "\Vhether or not it is profitable to have c hap el?" The majority of teachers are in favor of no chapel, and it would take very littl e to turn the wheel so we could have no ::hapel the rest of this semester. If we should have a repetition of what happened last Friday it is certain that ch apel would be abandoned.
Fellow students, we 111.ttst have order. When Dr. Wolfe makes yo u feel cheap and disgusted he is doing it for a good purpose. He !mows that you are not doing right. And in his own way h e is trying to make you feel ashamed of yourself. And now take the hint that you have gone as far as you ought to go. Most of us would like to clear out the bad element t hat exists in chapel.
But on the other hand there are a few who are always wi llin g to lend themselves to mischief. These people are the ones who sh ou ld be watched. Last Monday morning when Dr. Wolfe was making his sarcastic remarks there were a few thoughtless ones who said some very injudicious and unwise things concerning his judgment in matters referred to.
Probably if you would sit there and listen m the right spirit you wou ld get the benefit
of what he is trying to say and yo u would be better off. Put yourself in Dr. Wolfe's positi on. What would you do? Would yo u allow the student body to run ove r yo u? If you did, h ow long wou ld you be principal? Dr. W olfe is a man whom we can look up to with sin cere respect and esteem. He 1mtst be allowed to direct yo ur movements at sc hool just as your fathers and mothers must direct them at home. (Some of you probably do not al!ow your father and mother to direct you at home )
Talking in chapel must be cut out or chapel will be cut out.
When you are in the hall and hear people talking about how Dr. Wolfe roasted us, ask them , "What were you doing in chape l ?"
The one that talks most against proper authority is most generally the one that does the misdeed .
Furthermore, Dr. Wolfe is for athletics. He is anxious to see a winning football team. But how many of you say every day that athletics are not what they used to be! And you a lso say "Dr. \iVolfe is killing athletics " If · all of you would put the true spi rit and loyalty into these games that Dr. Wolfe does we would never run athletics into the ground Ath letics in the hi gh school would be a

ucc ess over and over again. Now, students, do Jess criticising, put more spmt into your work, walk uprightl y in yo ur own path and be fair and s ur ely things will come your way. Those people who carry a chip on their shoulder and are always talking about somebody else's shortcomings and objecting to wholesome criticism are the peopl e who amount to very Jittle.-Ecl.

JW-liO R NOT E S
The class of 'o6 met Thursday instead of Friday last week because of the football game on Friday.
One of our members, Florence Comstock, died \"!V eclnesclay night. A lthoug h this was F lorence's fourth year in the L. H. S., he had been out of school many times on account of sickness and had only enough credits to be a Jnnior. She has many friends in this school who will miss her and grieve over her. The class voted to send flowers to her funeral, which was held Friday afternoon.
The sick members of our class are now get-· ting along nicely, but are not yet out of danger. Miss Pillsbury will soon be back at her wo r k, we hope, alt h o u gh th e fever has not yet entirely left her.
At the meeting the majority of the class who were present voted to have a dance in the reception beina- planned for the Des Moines football players. But this was not a vote of the whole class, and when the whole class votes we hope it will vote different. Some of the parents of the Des Moines boys are very much opposed to dancing, and if the class takes this into consideration they will prohably vote against it.
Did the members of the Junior class know the pins were voted for at every class meeting and that from these pins the class pin proper will be chosen? If all members of the class knew this we wou ld h ave room 203 packed so fu ll that we shou ld h ave to adjourn to the library and there ho ld our meetings. Come out and h ave a hand in this c h oo ing. The class need all of its members to take part in whatever was done in the name of t h e class. It is your duty to come out and he lp make the meetings lively. Do o without fail.

Of course it was tho u ght it time to stop t h e chase, so I st epped time for Willie to go to but I thought to t h e window and called t h e boys back.

I d!d not see \iVillie at breakfast the next became q u ite cheerful and h appy before we morning; but just before school began he reac h ed home; but at sigh t of h is mot h e r h e came into the school room with his mother, began crying and between his so bs h e to ld th e holding his dear little Cherry B lossom. He fate of C h erry B lossom. looked very pretty dressed in his white suit (Cont in u ed.) and broad brimmed hat with long streamers,too pretty, I t h ought, when I saw the g lances exchanged by the other boys.
When the be ll rang for recess I led Willie to his p lace in the l ine to march out with the other boys. He insisted u pon carrying Cherry B lossom, which I thought very unsafe for the doll , and sure enough they had scarcely reached the playg r ound when I hear.d, "Say, kid, what do you feed it?" "Will she cry if I pull her hair?" "Be you the nurse of tl1at baby?" and various other remarks of this kind which I knew frightened Willie. must have thought one of the boys was interested, for he handed Cherry Blossom to him when he asked to hold her, but t h e boy, to show his love for doll s, threw her in the ai r , and, failing to catch her, she fell to the ground and was broken into many pieces. Willie began to cry and the boys began to call, "Cry, baby! cry, baby! go home and tell your mamma we broke your doll."

THE FROST IS ON THE, r-UMPKIN
(Jam s \IV u.itcomb Rtley.)
frost 1s on the v4nLin and the fodder·s in the SDOCK
And you hear Lhe h) a,nd gobble of the struti.n' turLey-coci,,
And the • m· or the gu.ineys, and the cluckin' 01 the nens,
And the rccster s hallylooyer as '"'e on the fence;
0 its then s the t1me a feller is a'-feelin' at his best,
'With the nsin' sun to greet him from a night o' per.ceful rest,
And he leaves tl:ie house, bare-headed, and goes OUL to feed the stock;
When the frost is on the pun idn - and the fodder·s in the S..!OCk.
There's something kinde · hearty - lil'e about the atmosphere
When the heat of summer's over and the coolin' fa,. is here-
Of course we miss the flowers, and the blossoms on the trees.
And the rouble of the hummin' brds and the buzzin' of tbe bees;
But the air s so appetizin'; and the landscape through the haze
Of a crisp and sunny morning of the early autumn days
Is a pictur' that no painter has the colorin' to mocK-
When the frost is . on the punkin and the fodder's in the shoc,c
The husky, rusty, rustle of the tassels of the corn.
And the raspin' Of the tangled leaves, as golden as the morn;
The stubble in the furries-kindo' lonesome-like, but still
A-preachin' sermons to us of the barns they growed to hil;
The straw-stack in the medder, and the reaper in the shed;
- The bosses in their stalls below, the clover overhead!-
0· it sets my heart a-clickin' like the ticldn' of a clock, 'W h e n the frost is on the punpin and the fodder 's in the shock
Then your app l es all is gathered , and the ones feller keeps
Is pour ed around the cellar-floor in red and yelia<' h e a s;
And :\'OU cider -ma:. in ' s over and the wimmern -folhS is throue:h
WiLh their mince and apple-butter, and their souse anu sausage too;-
I don't Know how to tell it-but is sech a thing could be
As the _ wantin' boardin', and they'd call around on me-
I'd want to commodate them all-the w.i:J.ole endurin
When the frost is on the pun: in, and the fodder 3 in the shock.

GOODBYE, EAST DES MOINES
(Tru e Dolly Gray.)
You had better say good-bye, East Des Moines. You don't need to ask us why. East Des Moines. Th ere's a murmur in the air, You can hear it everywhere, I t's foretelling your despair, East Des Moines. You hav e come to meet defeat, East Des Moines. You may think you've got us beat, East Des Mo ines,
But the Lincoln boys so true Will just wipe the earth with you, And 'tw ill not be hard to do. East Des Moines.
Cllorus:-
Good-bye, East Des Moines, we'll beat you, Though we hate to use you so. Something tells me you'll be weeping When to E 'ast Des 1vloines you go. See the Lincoln boys are coming, They will tear you up, hurrah! You will never lmow what hit youGood-bye, East Des Moines!
When the game is over this afternoon, the footI.Jall team has passed over another victorious season. Early .n tbe season the material for a w;inning team seemed invisible. But the faithful of Coach Hunt er, Munn and Captain Saults have developed a tea m that stands as a credit to eve ry loya l High School student.
The team so far has surpassed all other Lincoln High School teams, and have won all the games l1y a good margin.
This afternoon you will see the team in good
condition. They are all going to do their best. Each man on the team is going to go into the game with the determination to win.
Now, stunents, the team is going to do all 1c can. The managers have used all their energy in pushing this game to their utmost capacity. Now, what have you done? have not supported the other games as you should, will you not do better this time? You like to participate in the celebration of victories, but there will be no victory this afternoon if you do not turn out and support the team right heartily -Ed.
THE SALVATION OF LITTLE WILLIE
(Continued from last weelc)
That evening I overheard Willie's mother say to her husoand: "I really think Willie is too young to go to school, he is not happy there and then, too , he is so liable to learn naughty things."
"Nonsense," said nis father, ·'Willie is not too young for school and should have begun before this. "
The next morning at brealrfast his father said: "Willie, my boy, are yo u r eady for schoo l ?"
Willie 's eyes began to fill with tears as he said: "No, I ain't going to school any more."
"Oh, yes; my son, you are going," said his father.
Then Willie began to cry very hard and his mother tried to comfort him by reminding him of the new doll he should have if he was good.

Finally his father said: "Now, young man, th is won't do, straighten up that face as fast as you can and don't let me hear any more crying."
Then turning to his wife he said: "I will takll Willie to school, so please have him ready in twenty minutes."
As his mother took Willie away to be dressed for school I heard her promise him candy and a doll tea party out on the lawn after school if he would not cry any more.
'Vhen I reached the school grounds I found several of the boys assembled ear li er than usual but gave it no thought until, as I sat at my desk, l heard some of the little gir ls talking.
"Isn't he the funniest lund of a boy you ever saw?" one of them said.
"I don ' t like him, do you?" another girl asked as she took a bite from a bright red apple.
"All the boys laugh at him, and I saw one break his doll," a Iitle girl in a white apron remarked.
"Do you remember who he was?" asl{ed the girl with the apple in some alarm.
"Brother said they were going to see if he could fight," was all th)'l little girl answered. "That is what the boys come so early for this morning;• she added as she looked toward the crowd of boys on the playground.
Just then Willie came in with his father. After his father had gone Willie seemed restless so I told him to go out and play.
In a few moments I heard some children talking.
"Hello, baby! ain't you afraid you'll soil your collar?" asked a boy's voice tauntingly.
"Yes, I am," returned Willie, "you haven 't got any nice collar like mine. My mamma says she thinlis you were very rude and nau ghty to break my dolly," and there were tears in Willie's voice.
Here the boys began to laugh and jeer at him. All was quiet for a few moments whe1;1 a little girl came running in and said breathlessly: "Oh, Miss Brown, Willie and the boys are fighting, anu one of the boys hit Willie 's nose and it's bleeding. Do come qt•• ck. 'fhe boys began it for they threw mud at Willie and then they asked him if he

I started immediately and as I was crossing th e grounds I saw children of all sizes standing around w 2. tching the fight. Wi111e evidenuy tad overcome his fears, for just as I reached the crowd I saw him hit out rather blindly and !mock the boy down
This blow was followed by another, but when Willie saw me he aslre a: "Did you see me hit him ?" and I suspect the tone was a bit more triumphant than his mother would have enjoyed
I said: ·Willies, what will your mother say when she sees you? Your cloch es are so dirty. Come w me to the pump and I will wash your face . Don't you know that it is wrong to tight'?" ' but he only nung his head and answered me never a word

Of course by this time Willie was greatly worked up , and he said : •· Y' es, I do, and I will fight every one of you, if you call me baby any more."
I insisted that all this talk of fighting must stop and as the bell rang just then we went into the school room. For the first period Willie seemed n er v ous and excite<). so I thought it best to send him home

THE SALVATION OF LITTLE WILLIE
I. returned home rather late that evening and was not surprised to find Willie's mother in tears, though I was greatly astonished to hear the cause wa& n o t due to Willies fig ht and. injuries, but beca use he had· in s isted upon her taking him down town and ha v ing his hair cut, buying him a pa ir of co rduroy trousers, a s-w.eater and a cap like those worn by the other boys.
" To think I s,hould, lose my baby all at once in thi s way, " she wailed, and then she lay ba ck on th e lounge crying hyst er i cally.
l went to my room sym];}athizing with the raother and yet secretly rejoicing that the boy in 'Wil.lie was beginning to assert himself.
It is astonishing what a differ e nce dress will make in a boy. Willie, who left school · in a Lord Fauntleroy suit and yellow c urls , walked into the dining room that night shorn of his c urls, dn'!ssed in his new trousers at last looking like a boy.
'·Hello, my son," said his father, " now you're ready for business, I see."
His mother looked sad, but Willie W!as so pleased that he sat U,P• straight and' tried very h-ard to act his part, thou@h I could· see th-at he still felt f'trange in those new boyish clothes.
Mter supper as we sat around the fire in the library, Willie told us how the boys had called rum lJRby and made fun of his white collar. "One boy told me to go fight them. I began to cry and he said, 'lam it to them,' and he showed me how to et ril'e from the shoulder. I know how now and I'll fight every one of them. You just see if I clon ' t.''
"Now, my son," said his father, "It is only brave io fight when it can do some good. I think that you were brave this morning to make those boys un de rstand that you woulcl not put up wlith such im;olen ce , but do not fight just for the sake of

fighting," but as he said! this I saw a twinkle in tbc father's eye.
" Well," said Willie stoutly, "They musn't call me baby nor ask after Cherry
His mother, noticing his flushed cheeks, said, "My precious baby niust go to beet now."
Will i e resented being called a baby and to prove be was a big boy now, said, "I can go to bed and started! off, tryingJ to whistle "A Hot Time."
As he said good-night, his mother, who still had tears in her eyes, would have followed him, but her husbandi said, "Wait a few moments, my dear."
The next morning Willie was· up ear l y, anxiously waiting for school time, and 'Wioudering why it took everybody so long to eat brealdast. At la st it was time to start and he insisted· it was not 11e cessary for either his father or mother to accompany him
He met the boys and: by his boyish ways must :r.avE: won their friendship, for as we walked home at noon he told me "the kids " had p •romised to t·all him "B ill "; that he never wanted· another C'hE:rry Blossom, but was going to get a bat and ball, as "the kids" had asked. him to join their baseba ll nine. He end ed· by asking rather timidly, "Wo n't you ca ll me 'B ill' in schoo l, :Miss Brown?"
And he l ooked at me so anxiously that I said', "Of course I will," and' the next day I erased the 1\ame "Willie" from my re cord -book and wrote in large letters "Bill."

WHY DON'T TO Sanderson's AND GET A PAIR OF SHOES ?
One of th e most su ccessful as' well as one of the bes t banquets ever given to a vi c torious football t eam was gi ven November 26th to Lin coln High S r·hool t eam by twb of its alumni members, Kim;nil and Mason
The b anquet was given at the home of Glen Mar on , and managed by his mother and Kimmel's t!l r ee able siste1s and their· friends .. The diningr uom was tastily decorated' with the red and black of the L. H. S Directly over the table was suJ:ip e ud ed the football which had! seen the terrifi c b a ttle b etw een the L. H. S and E'ast High , Des H a ines , two year s ago. On ea ch wall hung a large L . H. S. bann e r , fa ced: on the opposite wall by the East Des Moines banner Smilax and carnations adorned the table
The guests were us.hered. into th e dining hall at 1>: 20 by Mr . Luther Kimmel, master of ceremonies.. At the plate of e ach guest of th e '04 team was a r e d cardboar d football, with the s core of the L. H. S and E. D H. S on one side, with the player's name and: position in the team on the other, wlith rompliments of Kimmel and Mason . A red carnation also ac companied tbe football.
On the center of the table, dire ctly under the football, set a huge cake with snowy white frosting an in c h thi ck On top the s core of the L. H . S . and E . D. H . S . was· formed1 .
WUll the Mi ss es Grace, Mossie· and Kate Kimmel and Verna Hyd.er as attendants• , the first course was brought in . (It is almost needless to say that Hu nter, Harrison and: Calvin, who sat together at 0ne end, "passed their plates the se cond· time.':)
Besid•e s the team of ' 04 , there were all posstble m e mbers of ' 02 , who were the first to go up against the much heralded East Des Moines "bunch. " K essilba ch, who in '02 did mu ch eff ec tive work at guard, was there and amused the others of tales of the day when he 'Wias "green."
Avery , the diignified and learned sage who did th e heavies at e nd and quarter in ' 02, was among those " also pr e sent. " His numerous witti cisms did mn ch to enliven the evening.
Drain, who was starring at half and fullba ck l, osltions• during: the '02 season , add'ed hiS· mite toward the pleasure of' the evening:.
Kimmel, the '02 captain, the gracious giver of the banquet , was quite in eviden ce.
M1·. Mason , Cyrus, L H S., '97, was there with his inspiring presen ce.
The four M's, who were always "in" everything in the days of '0 2, showle d their old time form in " ltelng in " this parti c ular o cc asion. The four M's no mol'e explanation to students who remember back two years ago, but for the benefit of our younger readers, we will name them: First, Father Munn, better known as Ohio, Nebraska , whose foot :p rints can be clearly de cerned in the muddy :l:!eld of '0 2.

Th e secon d course of turkey wtith dress ing, sa l ad, mashed potatoes, sauce and coffee was then koug ht before the guests. (At thi s point Hunter came n ear p utting a quietus to the banquet by hying to joll y tbe same girl that Geb hardt winked ::..t. ) However, with t he skillful interferen ce of Calvin anc1 another young l ady, things were l5mooth e d over and Hunter then outdid Gebhardt in consuming the fan cy i ces and ice c reams in the third colll'se.
Th e cake was c ut and , of course, since Harvey wa;, so cl eve r in " lifting " huge and expensive pies, he mu s t needs "lift" th e great cake from the table tc be c ut in p ieces small enough to be consumed.

It w1as noticed that every one of the speakers of '02 spoke of the friendshi,ps made during the seas on, and no one could doubt that most true and l asting friendship ex isted between them.
Co uld anyone who he l d some n arrow p rejudi ces against football have heard the talks, given that rugbt he sure l y wou l d hav e been conve rted
Th e friends·hip of which s o mu ch has b ee n said exists between the m e mb e,rs' of t h e '04 team with ihl' same ardor as among the 'Q,2's, a l though perhaps not so noti ceab l e. It is to this fr i endsh•ip that Mr. Hunter strove so hard to infus e in the t ea m that many of our victories is due. True friend · hip means good team work and ' team worlr I:J eans victories.
ln this r espect Mr. Hunter deser-ves the highest p raise and com mendation and it is with the greatest of good fort une that he is to b e with, the team in '05.

GREGORY THE COAL MAN.
sentence, nothing is sadcler than .past JOYS remembered ' in unha p py days. To others , such memories ha ve seemed the con s olations of a dismal age. Goethe spoke the central truth about happiness when he said it comes most surely to those who li v e in other lives as fully as in their own. Many have saiclJ this also, and a greater than Goethe said' it in words which underlie what is most alive in Christianity todaY".
In remaining a tim'3 of fellowship and joy, Christmas has continued to represent the spirit of Christ. The more exact ly religious side of Christianity is expressed rather i.1 the Easter season . Christmas gives us Christ's religion after it has entered into the ordinary affairs of men, after it has become the l eaven of our daily lif e. It is the spirit which makes life on this more abund,ant. It contradicts that strange perversion whi ch has, now and' again, turned sweetness into threats and ' bitterness. Sorrow may be more beautiful than Beauty's· self. Keats, who said that, haCL in some reE.pects a pagan mind, but the beauty of sorrow, the ha ppiness of s ympathy, first be arne real to man through Christ. It is the greates addition which His rel i gion nas' made to human feeling. It is the onlY' great creation of i deals s in ce the race of highest genius, living for a little while in Greece, expressed another 1\ind of beauty, another sight of life. Since Christ, sympathy with suffering, the shading of happiness by the sorrow'S of the world , and the lightening of grief by a feeling to which the ancient wo rl d was stranger, have changed! the temper of mankind. The pagan spirit is forever dead' Fine sou l s have wept for it, and bf!moaned the new force before which it fell, but, on the who l e, the world believes the ne wjoy, when all is said, i s greater than the old.
In the actual festivities of Christma.s, ch ild ren are the ce ntre, by a .pleasant coincidence, as they were favorites of Him through whom Christmas is. To the c hild it is a season of enchantment, a fairy time. It is so fu ll of golden dreams and half mysterious hope s and joys, it is such com pl ete felicity that nothing in the world seems more desolate than a c hild/ to wlhom Christmas pleas ur es• are unknown. Nothing in later lif e wiU be the same. The romance of love wi.ll most resemble the romance of toys. A maid, with a shape of cur l or turn of nose, will raise feelings most akin to those which respond!ed to direJ.ms of rocking-horses, illumi nated trees, and stockings full of candy.
Each stage in our progress from the cradle to the grave has its diff erent Christmas. Old age forgets itself, the ghosts which haunt its memories , and enters into the young creature's happine ss with a relish second only to the child 's. The grandmother no longer wishes sleds or hoops or gingerbread t monkeys for herself, but she looks with and wonde r upon the little beings who respond so radiantly to these objects of mestic manufacture. Between these generation s stand the r, arents, with their own lives of bustle and responsibility and ' desire, their own games and gewgaws to pursue, but yel with a beginning of the change , from li ving for themselYes, to living for their young. These reflections are perhaps too serious for a festive time . The average human con n ects his pleasure with material experiences. An old English tradition ran that as many mince "Pies as you taste at Christmas, so many halJPY months will you enjoy. Gorging indigestible food i"S not so cl o sely allied with gayety as it used to be in "the good old days," say of George IV, or in the older and still better dtJ.ys of the Roman E:m,p ire, when the December holidays were cal l edt the Saturnalia. We have departed from such hapits, but even now holiday stuffi ng bas its· p l ace. It also l eaves its aftertaste.
'·Man, cu rs'd • man, on Turkeys preys, And Christmas shortens all our d::tys."
lf this rhyme emblazoned on every table, more would be l eft wherewith to make a holiday for ch ildr en who never guess the delight and wonder of the day.-Norman Hapgood in Christmas Collier's.

EDITORIAL
We extend to all, greetings and best wishes for a ]l[erry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
After Christmas there will be a box in the ball some lle1 e near the b.illetin board s , and all joke>, joshes andl jing l es, will be glad ly received and greatly ap p reciated.
The girls were largely instrumental in bringing about the football victories this year and also in creating enthusiastic hapels. Now it behoo v es the boys to express their appreciation of the same by W'armly supporting the girl's basl<et ball team.
In assuming the editorial duties we have but two statements to make. First, we shall do our best to make The Advocate an advocate of everything that represents the best intere>ts of the school. Second, re::tlizing that our efforts will be futile unless backedo by the school, we asl< and expect to receive your heartiest sup ,:ort.
We bring Llto the work no new or foreign ideas regarding the editing of a high s c hool paper, but on t h e contrary only inexperience and the handicap that accompanies it. l! or this r e ason we belieYe that e v ery student will see the necessity of ta)dng a great per s onal interest in the publication of The Ad vo cat e and, alt n ougb the pa.p er may su ffe r som ewh at f or the n ext few i ss ues, yet in th e end w e will hav e a p a p t• r published by and not alone for the schoo l. We are positive that no one person can edit a successful L. H. S. paper. It r equires the ind u try of a l arge portion of the stude:J.ts and with from tw elve to thirteen bundTed in our s chool, we should hope to put out weekly , at least, as good • a paper as many contempora ry r h ools one-fourth our s i ze t::ut out monthly. Good•, whol esome c1iticism will do much toward raising the standard of our paper. However, no
The unqualified· announcement that Dr. Wolfe i s: to l eave us at the c lo se of this semester, bas now been made. Glaring us in tne face so sudd enly last week, it occasioned a considerable shock After om: remarkable pwsperity and progress this fall and our wonderful football vi tories, it i s much to be regretted• that we are now obliged to l ose the one wiho bas to so great an extent, made our •P•rogress and our victones possib l e. Were we inclined to be at all pess.mist i c, we shou ld say that this po rtray ed a bad omen for the futtue welfare of the schooL However, we can only express our thoughts by stating that we exceedingly, to see Dr. Wolfe l eave. Even those•w'ho have been the most unfortunate in the matter of eighth periods, etc., are uttering only the deepest regrets at ba,ving to lo se our principaL
When we look about us and · see the beautiful pictures, the new grand piano, the unique lo cl<er system, or when we ,pause to consider the conven ience of the l unch room, or realize the ,high plane that all schoo l interests have reached, we are forced to conc lud-e that the expressions just mentioned are fully justified. !Nevertheless, we should speak dti>•P·Uagingly of Dr. Wolfe were we to allow the things that appeal to a portion oi our five senses, to stand as the greatest emolument in his principal s hi .p 0\ er and abo ve all these, we consid.er the continua l and unabating advoca c y that he bas made for self government and the progress effe tedo along that lin e in our school, to · be by far the greatest thing in his principalsh i p. We have no doubt but that the school will do its best in the matter of giving our principal a hearty farewell when the time for his departure arrives, but that can only be clone as a school and not as indi v id'uals. What we, as individuals, do between now and then, toward e:x,pressing our esteem and appreciation of Dr. Wolfe will be far more enduring. Let every one do his best, then, to make the remaining weeks of Dr Wolfe's stay as pleasant as possible
To say that the school does not li ve through the princi p a l alone, is in a sense true. But to go farther and• say that the principal does not represent or stand for the schoo l is a mistake. Ask any of those who were in our school during the ,principalship of Prof. Waterhouse or Dr. Davenport and they 'W'i ll quicldy. tell you that the school no longer seems the same to them. Why? Sim p ly be ca uE e they grew up wi th Prof. Waterbouse or Dr. Da -v enport as l eader of the school and unconsciously found a place in their heart for him. The same thing is true at the present time. Unconsciously we ha >· e formed a devotion to Dr. Wolfe that will cause him to live in our minds forever, and although hi s s •uccessor may be in eve ry way' an able andi competent person, yet it will be months before the schoo l will seem the same to use, and those in their senior year m!l.y not realize it at aiL

A PORTO RICAN CHRIS,TM<AS
(The fo llowin g is made the more interest.ng by the lmowleclge that the young 1ad y writing the item is now in our school l earning to convert her S pa ni s h into English The arti cl e is proof in itself thflt she is succeeding admirably.-Ecl.)
Wy ob:ect i s to tell y on about th e way Christmas is elebrated in Porto Ri co th e ever gre e n littl e island , where the ;p·etty palms g row and flowers are found all the year.
Christ11'a<; begins therP on Decem ber 24th and last s until Januuy 6th. E oi phany or Thr ee Kings' day which is the princip31 dl:V 0f our Christmas, i s the clly on which we exchange gifts o r gi,·e remem b r anres to 0 ' '1' friends and relatives.
On the eve of De cembe r 25t h YP rv <olemn serYi ces are held , in e '·ery chur h, and there most all the fam ili es attend , having, when return at
12 o '.:: locl(, a very gooJ dinnet·, which among thE> better c lasses, consists of pavo relleno, (stuffed turl(ey, rice and chicken, cooked together baked green bananas and many sweet mPats, but in the c ountry towns and ' on the farms the table is graced by a whole young pig, whi ch is roasted in a ver y peculiar way.
It is spitted! on a stick about four yards long, which rests on two Y-shaped sticks that are driven into the ground. A man cook turns the pole over a wood fire for about three hours, after which it is served with cool\e d bananas and rice.
I wi ll tell now about the happy day for the Porto Rican children. It comes on the 6th of January and the Porto Rican mothers say to their c hildren all the year: ' Be good littl e ones, because the Three Kings will not bring any aguina ldo s (presents on Christmas time) for you, and Mel c hor. the blacl{ ldng, will get you and carry you to the East on the other side of the Ocean."
" Wl10 are the three kings?" as!;: the children.
"They are three very wdse and rich men that Jh•e afar off and they like good ' ch ildr en very well. When Jesus was a child' they brought presents for Him because He was so good. Now they only come to this i s land and bring presents for those that know their l essons and obey their parents. "
The Porto Rican ch ildr en believ e that the three 1\ings co me every year from the East on horsebac k, and be ca use they are so wise they can cross the ocean in that way.
On t he e ening of .January 5th :he children till boves or baskets with fresh ni ce grass. The se and a glass of water, with some molasses. they put on the balconies or porc hes , and , if the children ha ' e been good the hon::es will eat the grass and drinl( the water and the kings l e::tve p re ents for t h e children. They also lea1·e a l e tter telling bow they must beha · e d uring the year.
The ,,:c orer pecp l e do not re ce iv e pres en ts, hut go froJl house to house playing guitars and ' s ingin s song 3 mal; e up as thy go abo .J t, and ar " l? i Yen clo t h es and food in r e turn.
The ma j ority of the Porto Rican children lmow nothing about Santa Claus. Some of the American tea c hers, howev e r, exhibit real Christmas trees and ha'"e a Santa Claus on the 25th of December, according to the American custom .
Wben the American schools were first estab1ished in P orto Rico, the Americans, not being a cquainted with the Porto Ri can customs, held s chool on January 6th. The children did not attend . and when the members of the Department of Education knew the reason. they de cided to make it a school holiday. For this the Porto Ri cans are very much obliged· to the Ameri cans. ·
As this is all I can write in English about Christmas , I will close this narrat! 1·e.

to the High School g ir l s. N e arly every member of the Y W. C. A team was tall and often th e contrast between two play e rs was laughab l e. The de ci s i ve vi ctory of the High SL oo l team wlas due e ntir e ly to superior team work of the g i rls .

THE ADVOCATE
DEBATING ASSOCIATION NOTES
Too much emphasis, cannot be put upon the Jlecessi ty of attending at least some of the debating societies in the High School. In no other single interest can one get so much "allaround" training. To those not familiar with the work done by these organizations this may seem an exaggeration, but one who attends a few of the meetings, either of the boy's or girl's societies, cannot but feel that they are doing sp l endid work. For example, the reg'ular members are getting the power, lacking in so many students, of expressing clearly their ideas, be they ever so few, upon a question To be able to speak fluently is a rare accomplishment. Only a few of those who have s.poken in chapel this year seem to have acquired! the art. Our football boys are particularly baclrward in this respect. To see great husky boys, who risk bone and muscle in mighty line plunges and• think nothing _ of tearing off 60 or 70 yards in a run d!own the field-to see such boys helpl ess and stammering before the school unable to reel off a few t remarks an inch in length is indeed hLJmiliating. And! it is not because football boys have no ideas nor be cause they lack a vocabulary. Their tall' on the field and off the platform gives abundant evid:ence to the contrary. The trouble with the majority of tbe football boys is that they have not had enough experience facing an audience and speaking their tho ughts with a hundred ' eyes ·up on them. There is no reason in the wor ld why they should not ha ve the same self-confidence and self- contro l before the chapel that they ha ve before the bleachers. 'l'hey can get the one just as they get the other, viz., by hard and constant practice.
Etvery High S hool graduate ought to be ashamed\ not to be able to stand before a class or gathering and express his opinion in plain s imp le language without twisting the buttons off his• coat or being obliged to lean on a table for support. A few may get this power in ordin :uy class work, but the pla ce where all can get it is in the debating !SOC i ety.
One is likely to get the notion that .a n organization managed by the students themselves will be too unruly and ill-directed to give any real discipline. A vi sit to any of the clubs will disabuse one of s'llch a notion . Tbe rules of order and dlec orum are nowthere b ette r observed . While the interest in the soc ieties is greater than last year, the number who r egular ly attend is below what it ought to be in a school of 1,300 students.
Let u hope, then, to see more out to these meetings. This is at least tbe easiest way that you cJ.n d•etermine whether or not yo u will be benefitted! by a membership in a debating society.

The one the Seniors hold most dear Is "Slouch Day," and • it is fine For no one seems to want to pine. II.
On Friday last, in full array, The 1905's did• hold full sway, And in the hall were very gay And lamblike in their joyous •P·lay. III
The teachers lool,edl with many smiles On farmer garbs and Kitchen styles, Hut never once did. they assume, To tell us " Please to l eave the room!" IV.
And so the day moved gaily on With full good c heer and• packs of fun, Until the West began to darl,en, And· now, my good ones, please do hearl,en!

At seven s harp, and! all so quiet, We gathered at the school to "pie" it; But instead1 we "cracker jacked," While in the !Jorary we all packed . VI.
There time passed• on in happy glee, With boys' Ha:WI! Haw! and· girl's Hee! Heel 'Till we lool,e d about us for to see In greastest style, dear Iviiss Kingsley

She, in her hat of scarlet hue, And fan-a style of great aJpan, Went sweetly past, as but she can, And· bowed to me and you. VIII.
Then midlst the whirl of games and chats, With praises for us and! kind pats We there de c lared before the world "That no such class. as 1905 Had< never yet-nor could abide."

SENIOR NOTES
Frid,ay after the seventh the Seniors held their regu lar meeting in 204. The minutes of the last meeting were read and• the general routine of busin ess carried out.
Dr Wolfe gave us a talk on our government of the s<'hoo l and the support he hoped we and• the school at large would give his suc cessor.
The Senior class regrets the fact that Dr. Wolfe is going to leave us. Although· we know it is better for him and> it is work more fitted to him than ours, still we wished• that he might stay with us the rest of the year. He is now in sympathy with the school and the different classes, and we wish that he might finish with us instead of having to have a new man in the place.
Everyone in the schoo l knows of Dr. Wolfe 's attempts to make the L. H. S. an institution for every one to respect and be proud' of, and· not only th e wor l( for the school at large, but also the individual work he has done which has helped us all. Dr. Wolfe has shown unselfishness in everything he has done for us, and' it · has been wholly for our good and towlard the making of better men and' women out of us
We feel we express the sentiment of the entire High S c hool as w e ll as the citizens of Lincoln, in 1 egretting Dr. and' Mrs. Wolfe 's departure , but yet we wish them the greatest s uccess in their new work. FLORENCE ANTHONY.

FOOTBALL AND WHAT IT MEANS
By Fred M. Hunter.
For several years football has been considered almost ind•ispe nsable in the· ath1etic department of most higher inst i tutions of learning. In fact, in the case of many of the less perfectly equipped schools it constit utes well nigh the whole der-artment. It is without question the best advertising medium and the best money maker of all athletic events. Th e public patronizes it not so much be-
the first pl ace there is always a s u perab undan ce of life in an institution where there is very much of a student body . This bubbling enth usiasm is always ready for the strenuous and exciting, and its l eaders are always bound to find an outlet for it for the· whole stud en t body . Now football is usually played by men who are l eaders among the stud·ents and who would be such even without the assistance of their football careers. •ro give healthy and beneficial direction to the effervescing energy of the young lif e of the institution is simply to
cause its merits· are recognized' as· a worthy and beneficial school a ctivity, but rather for the sal'e of the strenuous and exciting it affords. Although its· criti cs are loathe to adm,it and the general public to recognize the fact, football performs yet a greater service than that of advertisement and gathering m finan cial profits. In
save that mu ch energy whi ch would otherwise be wasted and very often turned to evil purposes· Men who eat and drink the regular training diet, who keep regular hours, wllw, in fact, take every care for the perfection of their physical being and _who turn their pent up strength loose for two or three hours1 every Saturday afternoon are not

the men to s eek for a vent for their energies in lead<ing their fellow students in drunken braw ls or in , arious· p.aths of temptation or vice which usua ll y are mo r e or l ess Open to the st u dent body of e Yery educationa l instit u tion.
Pe1 haps even greate r yet is the cultivation of school pride and spirit. If there i £ eve r one thing w1hich a s chool is more proud of than another it is a succe Esful footba ll team. This is one thing at least to which the wh ol e student tody l ends its efforts and enthusiasm and support, one thing u p on wh i ch they practically a ll un i te. And it is just this s p irit, this feeling of unity that makes for the succe s of e ery school a ctivity, and it is this pi rit which is ezl)ec i a ll y e ss ential to the succes sful self- disc i pline of a high school. T rue, schoo l spirit can be aro nsed' wi thout football. But one can travel far without rai lroads , but it is much too s-low for th i s age of advance and progress. It if; just about in this relation that schoo l spirit and unity stand to footba ll.
Nor is this a ll T he benefits to t h e indiv i d'ual football man are not for a moment to be overlooked. It is on this •point that the opponents of football aim their strongest argument. They wis h tc see footb all p-ut ou.t of the school wor l d on the ground that it is brutal and that occasionally a player is hurt. As us u a l , the a r gumF;nt is brought without looking fully into the real situat i on, and as usual there is no real gr<Jund for the argument. In the first place, the majority of players who are hurt are not members of school teams who keep train i ng and who play under scientific directions, but membe r s of small schoo ls or tow n teams who hav€ no coach and pay no attention whatever to train i ng-who have not even a prete·nse of physical condition for the game In favor of th i s var i ety of football there is, of course, little argument, for in it none of the benefits and all of the ev ils• of football are realiz ed. I n actual co ll ege footba ll there are comparati ely few <PIayers h un se r io usly. A thorough and statistical invest i gation was mad e last year by a profess o r or the Unive r sity of Illinois. He found that in the last ten years in t h e leading i nstitutions of the country onl y one player had been killed and two permanently in j med. This• is l ess than the killed and· injured from either
bicycling or baseball for the "Same p eriod. The frequent reports on the subject are due l argely to newspaper exaggerat ion and• the i r circulation by e n em i es of the game For i nstance, a man who had been a prominent footba ll p l ay ar wh il e in co llege, became an e l ectrician after l eaving school. He was acc i denta ll y electrocuted• and next day the pa<p•ers flaunted the headlines: "Football Player Killed," and the enemies of the game held: up the i r hands in holy ho rro r at its awful brutality. Those wlbo lmow most abou t football do ·not deny that i t is rough; it should be r ough-not bruta l-and therein lies m u ch of the ind i id'Ual benefit. It there is one p l a.c€ whe r e a man must exercise se lf con trol and keep his temp er, and· yet exert himself to his ve r y utmost, and that under t h e most adverse ci rcumsta n ces, it is• in tb is game There is no pla ce for the "dirty" player in scientific footba l l. When a man loses h is temper and E,tr i kes, h quits p l aying s·cientific footba ll , for to p l ay the game we ll a man must conce n trate his while attention and energy upon his pa r t of t h e game and nothing else. Hence it is only an easy step• to the conc lu sio n that footba ll not on l y requ ir es the highest degree of physical and teaches the greatest amount of endurance and "stick-to-it-iveness,'' t u t also requires the bery best self control.
A n other th i ng which p l ayers themse l ves regard as one of the greatest persona l a<::qu isit i ons· from football is• the bond of fellowship wh i ch must always exist between the members of a team if the highest phase ofl sc i enti fic footba ll is reached. The s uccess of a team dep ends on what is comm o nl y know n as "team work" T h e analysis of th i s word makes• it mean, t h e willingness and ability of every member to do j u st exactly the best th i ng for every emergency. That is the various members m ust at all times be will i ng, whether in a game or. not, to sacrifice thei r personal interests and g l or i es for the success of the team. Lack of this sp i rit will offs et the finest footba ll ability i n the wor l d, and its presence with any ab ili ty whatever gua r antees the success of a team; and more, i t unites the fe ll ows who play together in a bo n d• of se l f - sacrificing friendship which is very oL te n never to be broken.

A REVIEW OF THE SEASON
By A. J. Mercer.
At the close of the football season one year ago there was little specu lation a•s to whom the captaincy of the team s ho uld' or wo u ld go, a s it wo.s known that only one of the '03 team would be back, he nce w ithout a contest Winnie Saults was chosen captain. On account of the above fact, the !rind· of team that would d<o work on the grid'iron of '0•4 was "up in the air." T'wo or three subs of the previous year were ready for work, but all in all it was supposed ' the te3.m would be we-J.k. Arrangements, however, were made by which we were assured the services of a first-cla s coach · in the person of Mr. Hunter.
When t h e t e r m opened in September, and: football regalia began ·to appear on the field, new t imbe r presented its elf. Although mu ch of it was new, there were hop es that something w o Ill d be d•one in 1904 through the superior efforts of Captain S a u I t s and Coach Hunter.
I n arranging o u r ser i es of games, an invitation was exte-nded tc, Kansas City for a return game at Lincoln, which was refused ; and we were co mpelled to look e l sewhere. We were unable to s chedu l e any game
Oct. 1, Pawnee C'ity; Oct. 8, Beatri ce ; Oct 15 , Omaha; Oct. 22, West Des Moines; Oct . 29, York; Nov. 4, Harlan, Ia.; Nov . 12, OmaNov. 24 (changed to Nov. 23), East Des Moines..
Th e game at Pawnee City, our first, was a wellfought game and re zulted in a score of 28 to 0. One sp.ecial fe a ture of this game waS' the gi \ en u s by the crowd. Although they w-atched their team being d efeat ed w ;th no fence around the gridiron, not one person int erfe:-ed wit h the play.
Our second game, at B Eatri ce, on Oct. 8t h, was fought on a soft field, and wh ! l e it vns ha r d work, the score of 31 to 0 was an indication that the boys were impro ving.
The game on Oct. 12, w i th Omaha, was abandoned becat:s e it wa s im p o :: s i ble for O:naha to get a ground upon which to play. After several attempts to land some other team, it was given up
and• a day of rest w1as gi en the bo:vs.

about one o'clock i n the morning. With an insufficient amount of rest the team was not in the best of shape to meet an adversary of the mettle of West Des Moines, but when the ' day's work was through, it was found they had not yet met their match, which was shown by a score of 16 to 6. The next four games, to be played in Lincoln, were suppoEed to be hard battles.
The first of these, the game with Yorl!:', was· expected to be fierce, but in this we were disappointed, as the score of 27 to 0 is conclusive proof.
On Nov. 4th Lincoln was to meet a new team, an unknown quantity-that of Harlan, Iowa. They came with much assurance of taking the muchcoYeted champ-ionship away with them, but as the sun '"ias sink i ng in the west as they wended their way from the fiel<1 they admitted the supremacy of Linco l n when they loolted at the score of 1<8 to 0.
On Nov. 12th our old• adversary came to the capL tal to " do up" the lincoln High, but when a score of 33 to 0 was piled up they simply said they were not in it.
But one game remained. The only team that had made Lincoln bite the · dust for the past two years was to be met Nov. 23d• . They came, confident that the conditions of the past two years should continue, while Lincoln was just as confident that the stain of the past two years should be blotted out. Uncoln was• right. A score of 34 to 6 is proof of this. T'he coach of the Iowa team said: "You have the best team."
The season was closed. Lincoln had played a strictly high school season; she had met the strongest teams s-he cou l d' find; sne had not lost a game; her goal was crossed but twice; she had 187 points to her cred'it and 12 against.
The season began with a doubtful team; it closed with the best team the school has produced, the cleanest team, every man a stayer, the least sloughing in class work of any team. Such is the record.
The season was a success financially, as the following figures· will show:
131.17
There were seYeral factors that made the· team a strong one. The first was that nobody knew more than the coach, or even thought he Jmew more. Again, everybody mas willing and anx,ous to learn and do whatever was• ordered: and play where he was put. Both the coach and the captain at all times were interested in tbe· team being a winning team. E:Very man on the team was a star in helping every other man win his point, and no jealousy was felt when some one proved to be a little brighter than the others.
A large part of the p :- esent team will be in school next year, which will insure a winner then.
Ellis Harrison, a tachle of this year's team, was chosen captain and Sid'ney Collins was re-elected manager for next year.
OUR TEAM
FREID M. HUNTER. Fred · M. Hunter, our coach, was• born in Savanah, Mo., March 24, 1879. His present home is Blue Rapids, Kansas, where he graduated from the B. R. high school in 1895. For four years he taught in schools of his home town serving in the C3ipacity of principal for two years: In 1901 he entered the University of- Nebraska, and has been a prominent figure in Lincoln since He was alternate on the debating team against Kansas in 1902 and a member of the debating team that defeated Missouri in 1903. For the past threP. years he has been an important member of the football team and· has he l ped the University win many a football victory. He is now president of the senior class of the University, - an instructor

in the high school and an educationad director of feet 10 inches. The latter record· he has· since rethe Y. M. C. A. The latter position he has occu - peatedly broken by some 15 or 16 feet. He was pied for the past two years·
This is the first season we have had' Mr. Hunter's services as' football coa ch and with almost entire new material he dev e loped a r ec ord• breaking team. It is now the one ambition of every member of that team, to have him with us again next year andl from present indi catio ns' this ambition, a s well as that of the entire school, will be realized, which insures a winning team for next year.
A. J. MERCER. Andrew Ja ckwn Mercer, business manager, was born near Ashland, Ohio, where he mad e his home till 1877 when he took the degree of A. B. at Bethany College, Bethany , West Virginia. The following two years' he taught in Indiana, serving as princilpal at Bellaire ' 79-'80. For the next four years he was secretary in the office of a glass· factory and in '81 came to Nebra'Ska. His connection with the schools of the state has' been a long one For five years he was SLiperintendent of the He bron schools. For seven years he wlas conne cted with the co llege at Fair:lield After this college ceased running he served as editor of a Fairfield paper for two and one-half years During 1898 to 19 02 l)e was conne c ted' with the schools of Carletown . Davenport, Greenwood, and Fall City, coming to the L. H S. in 1902 In 1901 he took his A. M. degree at the state university. Th e great finan c ial success· of this season's f ootball is largely attributable to his untirifig efforts and all hope that nothing will prevent him bei ng with us again next year.
W A. SAULTS. Winfield Alexander Saults, capt ain, was born at Clarion, Iowa , in 1885. He bas been go i ng to school in Lincoln for the past :five years, living at his home in the western part of the state for tlie previous eight. Before entering the high, he spe nt a year in the Bryant school. For three years be bas been playing end on the L. H. S. teams and has made numerous spe cta cular plays• at the position. His efficiency as captain this year help ed produce the mar ve lous team we had.
S. COLLINS . Sidney Cullins, team manager, was· born at Brand e nburg, Mont. He spent nin e years of his life at Sheridan, Wyoming comi ng to Lincoln in 19'02. At St. Louis last spring be won honors both for L. H. S. and· himself by throwing the hammer 134 feet 9 in ches and the dis c us 90
ca>ptain of last spring's track team and was reele cte d for this coming s pring, At the beginning ol the season " Sid" was one of the most promising men on the field but unfortunately after having played' the position of center in but two games, he was taken S'ick with typhoid• fever and confined to the hosp ital for several weel;s. He is team manager for next year. This year's excellent schedule was a rsult of his' labors.
E. M. HARRISON. IDllis Menton Harrison, '06, was born August 25, 1887, at Panama , Nebr. , where he livedJ for eleven years before coming to Lincoln. He was a member of the '0 2 second· team and of the '03 track team. This year he played the entire season, generally at the position of right ta ck le, but frequently playing back of the lme at half. His certainty together with his speed made him a ·P'ronoun ce d sta r , if we be allowed to use that term , in speaki ng of an te-am. "Scrubby" was unanimously elected cap tain for next year.
A. GEIBHARDT. Albert Gebhardt, '06, was born at 'Basel, Switz er land , Dec. 25, 1886, where be lived for ·seven years, when his' folks moved to New Yorl\ and' thence to Lincoln. He is a graduate of the Glinton school. Last year "Hei d•leburg," as he is familiarly c alled, was a sub, at !Jalfbaclc This year his· regular position was right half. During the season he made many sensational plays but a 50-yard run for a touchdown and a 35-yard drop ki cl\ , in the East Des Moines game, capped all.
S. H. RATHBONE.. Sam Haney Rathbone, '05, was born in New York June 19 , 1886. He came to Uncoln in 1898 with his folks . He tied for the high jump in the '03 M V. meet but lost on a fl'p. In the University meet he won first pla ce in the high jump and s ec ond pla ce in the high hurdle s. Th e .past seaso n he played at left half though this was his first year's football. His w<ork was excellent and' be seld•om failed · to carry the ball the ne ce:ssary yard or two for the down.
El. WITTMAN. El·ric Wittman was born some pla ce at some tim e He played cen ler the sea·wn just closed, and developed great strength and stability in the p ositio n He is· counted on a s one or the ce rtain '05 winners.

These are the things which are the resu l t and direct outgrowth of a game often chara cte rized as brutal and unfit for a -pla ce in school athletics. When any other game o r event ca n be bro u ght forward whi c h will guarantee for its supporters and particip!l,nts stronger physique , more self-control, more wlhole-heart ecJ: spirit and self-sacrifice, higher development of school enthus·iasm, and more certain bond s of friendship, then it cert ainly will and should supplant football.

The greatest interest in athletics just now is basl,etball. Basketball is a fas c inating sport that tak es a great deal more scientific practice and stud'y than it manifests on the surfa c e. Players ne v er tire of ind ulging in the· old favorite, and n e w men, as the older ones graclually climb to prominen e in our basketball world here, get out and see if' it is merely lu c k or skill.
In the east basketball teams· are supported by enthusiastic spectators, who furnish substance enough to mal'e baske tball a business proposition, and any town of any importan ce has its professional team of salaried players Their schedules c arried on in the winter draw larg e crowds of appl·eciative spe c tators, such as basketball does. There is no sport that will produce a more symmetrical physique than basketball, for in its s huffle in the full swing of the game eve ry muscl e of the body has a c hance to be used.
Ba s ke tball is also a "wind" breaker if •Played with vim. A man's end•u r an ce , if he has not ca refully tralned, is surely teOit ed. Natural ability, suc h as quickness, speed and a good eye add to the quality of the player.
THE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEIAM HAS NNV.IDR BEI:IDN BIDATEN BY A HIGH SCHOOL TEIAM SINCE BASKETBALL HAS BIDE\N RUNNING IN THE HIGH S CHOOL , whi c h dat es back to the fall of 1899. Sin ce the days of Condra the team bas hadJ ve r y little outside coaching , but bas developed its own sta ndard.
This year our meta l will be tested by some strong aggregations that will be a dt ·awting card for nome games.
Ne x t w ee !' the team will start on a southern trip including Topeka, Baker univ e rsity and poss ibl y Joplin, Mo , h i gh school. By a]] arTangements now, Baker will be played Ja nuar y 20 and 'l'o pe l' a January 21.
It is pretty ce rtain that Omaha and Sioux City high schools will be playe d here some time in February or March together with Bai<er univer·sity , February 13.
Although the team is not as stro ng as that of la st year it will !·auk close up to our average, We bo l d- two r ecord's in the we;;;t , one for the highest s ore against an op pon ent, (1'17 to 16 against St. Paul, Neb.) and for the greatest number of fouls thrown from trials , (20 fou ls thrown out or a possible 21 against Omaha.)

E v identl y all the high schoo l girl s n eeded was a little support from the school, for to that which was g iveu they re s ponded beautifully , running u p the s core until it stood 82 to 16 in their favor. The game wa s phy e d in th-e High School gymnasium Friday, De ce mber 16, and was called sharply at 3:20.
Both t eams lined up qui c l(ly ani! seemed to be pretty e' enly mat ched. N eith e r side was confide nt ancl eac h played hard from the first. The score mounted · up rapidly but the Academy gir l s d i d not. get di s ,c ouraged. Ma ri e Barr anJ Isabel Wo lf e alternated throwing goals in the first half with Anna Watt and ' Vera Barger. Mis s C'am e ron did the star p laying for the Academy girls and threw all the goals
Th e re is n ot much to tell of the · game ex cept th e score. One of the goals had be e n furnis he d W'it it l;oard in ste<:d of a sc r een but it did not seem to Loth e r tbe girls at all.

CONt:ISTE'NT training, consistent pract i ce, co ns ist ent support by the school, and consi.stent advertising, made L. H. S . football the groat success that it was.

ATHLETI CS enable us to pro v e our physical superior i ty. Debating enables us to pro ; e our oratorica l status. Is this sufficient? Should om efforts cease when we arcompHsh these tv.:10 things? I s not a third pinnacle worth reaching? A great m an has said, "The pen is the tongue of the mind." If this be true then we shou l d a lso attempt to excel in a lit erary dir ection to prove our complete superiority. Many who do not tal\e an intere Et in athletics or debating, can do exceeding ly credi table work along a literary lin e. Those who do take such an interest are not barred from literary pursuits . Then why not use the Ad vocate for the p urpose of giving prominence to, if not a ls o for stimu l ating, lit era ry activity?
This was probably one of the prime causes for beginning the publication of the paper, some eleven years ago, and• it should now be a principal cause for cont inuing the publication. Th e r e can be no reason why our schoo l paper should not be the means for excelling in a literary way, the same as the gridiron is for football or the platform is for debating. On the contrary, there is every reason -why our literary ability should reach its climax in the pages of the school paper. Let u s have a greater number take an interest in bu ildi ng up the literary portion of the Advocate.

The Ciceronians met in their regular room, 201 of the High School building, Friday evening at 7: 30, with the usual enth usia sm.
The meeting began with its u s ual parliamentary drill, but with uncommon earnestness.
After a discus·sion relating to a party in the near future, the debate was taken up. E 'ach speaker was lilll'it edl to three minutes, which, of co u rse, was a very short time. However, each speaker used it to his best ad vantage and • the debate was an unusually good' one.
After the regular business· was' completed, Ed. Westover was talten into our organization. Our soc iety at present is as large, if not larger, than
ever before. We have at •p•resent twenty-three members. The society feels that next semester they will be ab l e to do better work than ever before. We had eight members enter the Omaha preliminaries and we feel that we are doing ou r part by the school.
We extend a hearty invitation to all interested in debate to come and• visit our society.

Nlegative-illthel Bohrer, Inez Hamilton, E s ther Warner .
Owing to the excellent rebuttal speech, made by Mr. Bennett , the jud ges , who were Miss Cl ark, Miss Marsh and Mr. Hunter, awarded ' the de c ision to the Phlogistons. T'he deci&ion was close, however, and neither the g i rls nor the audience thought the defeat at all disgraceful. We are a younger society than the Phlogistons, and expect to improve very mu ch this year. Any bright girl of the Lincoln high is invited to join our club.

Someo ne has suggested that we have a debate .he t,•:ee n the r lub s before chape l some morning. This is a s plendid idea and will go far towPard increa:s ing int e r est in debating . No other high schcol activity needs sup port more right now than debating. StPdents will gil e their support as soon as they realize the need of it and feel that desenes their attention. The question i s, " How may we get debating interests before the school?" Wuuld not a short, snappy debate in ch apel on some real li ,·e question of High School intere:;t at leas t heJp things along? Who will tal{e thE> matter up?
In about a week tbe Lincoln High will be face to fa ce with its deadly foe , Omaha, in a fight which will show whether we can do anything besides de' rlop our brute· forre ; wlbether we are able to acquit ourselves honorably in an i ntellectual battle a s we ll as in a gridiron struggle.
Tt has always been a boast of our friends on the banl:s of the murky · Missou · i that they cou ld "sl• in" rs in if not in football; that they ha'e the brains wh 'l e we only have the brawn.
Whether it be the soothin3 effect of the thicl'ened waters from the muddy MisEouri or something e lse which endows our worthy opponents w ith the oratorical power;; that they di !> play we do not know 1. But we do know that we must get down to bu>iness, that we must su j::-1J ort our team as a school if we wish to meet sucreESfully such a foe as Omaha.
PeTha t: s you woud"r whv hac; hPen so successful. It is bec:HJse the enti re ,schoo l supports d ebate.

And these same persons claim t'l oatri oti ,.. enthus iasm for their schoo l. We admit that some debales are dr,y, but we do say fnrthpr +h ot enthusiasm, which does not partake of a self-denying natnre, is not worthy in the least to be called patriotic.

But, as in football, we must sup.p ort our team and coa ch in order to insure a vi ctory. The debate occurs at Omaha February 3d, and b e tween uow and then we should give the team and coa eh e r ery word of en couragement possible. Doing this will cause them to work harder and to realize that the Lincoln High is ba c k of their efforts.

WEIDNESDAY morning dawned upon the ashes of another fearful fire in our city. Besides recal l ing to our mind previous fires in lincoin, it caused us to th i nk of the Iroquois disaste t and its attendant horrors. Th i s in turn brougn t to mind the advi e of Dr. Wolfe as to how we s lto u ld make our exit from the High School buildings in caEe fire started in either of them. The advice, ho'.\"e Yer, we think amounted to but littl e , te c ause undoubtedly it would be forgotten the m om e nt the a l arm was given. The haste in tryi n g t a get Ot;t \rou l d p-robably jnjure many and po ssib l y resu l t in the death of quite a number Esp ec ially would this be true if the fire occurred in the ba c k end of the auditorium during chape l , or mad •e it s a ]; pearance from the stairway leading to the [!latfoJ m. A ca l m wo r d , i f spol\en qu i ckly enough , might prevent a great deal o-f disaster, but we should not be content to rely upon it very mu ch. In s tead, we sho ul d provide some additional meth c rl ,yiJeJ eby a safe exit would be a:;sured In the exciten:ent of the moment, the few fire es ca pes wouirl pr obab l y b e forgott en and all would bolt f e r t:::t> stairs.

way of l eaving chape l or the rooms of the various buildings would be insured in case of fire. We wou ld not advise turning in false alarms, becaus e, even after considerable practice, some injury might result in trying to escape from what was supposed to be a real fire. Practice, however, in the best ways of l eaving the buildings in ase of fire would be a very great help if the time sho uld ever come when the school is visited by the horror of the flames.
THE SKATING RINK.
A decidedly new and enjoyable· amusement has been lately opened to the Lincoln public, namely; the Auditorium sl;ating rinK. Tbi s rink is being run by capable management so it is possible for the you ng p eop le to spend an eve ning of pleasure without fear of any d•isagr eeab l e qualities entering in, as is the case in mo £t amusement open to the public.
E'Yerytbing is new and there is little fear of gett in g a· fa1! from a d•efective sl;ate. The skates are made by a firm w,ell known for their quality of s katEs and are the best possible to be obtained. Ea ch roller bears sixteen balls, thus ins u ring easy s k ating. :Music of the best ldnd is added in the e \ ening and all are able to have a good time You might drop in some eYening when there is nothing else doing and see for yourself.

Bound are thou in autocracy, Enslaved by selfish lords, art Lhou, w ho mock you midst your misery
An d laugh as ' n eat h their yOl{e you bow You worl\ and toil from morn till night
Yet still your ch ildren cry for bread. On you struggle in this sad plight
Whil e your oppressors are we ll f ed
At lavish balls, in banquet halls; Little they care for your welfare, Carouse do they, while on you falls
The load that you poor mo rta l s bear. Your peas ants till the fertile soil
With ox e n and old ' wooden plows, :Yet searce can they, midst a ll their toil, Fill hungry c h i ldren's open mouths. 'rhe landlord steals kind nature's gift
To those who serve her always well; Into his bins the grain he' ll sift
Though it would sound your sad death lm e il
Oh, Russia! How long mu s t this be?
How long shall we be forced to beho l d
Trodden to earth, man's liberty?
Shall this still be when dea d and co ld We will lie down to rest from toil?
Oh, Russia! Cast from t hy bosom
That which disgraces so thy so il
And fi ll s thy land with filth y scum. ln God's name, through thy breadth and l e ngth,

WINTER BIRDS
The day is darl\, and the snow comes down Softly and sadly out of the sky; But little Dame Junco in warm gray gown Is )lappy and has no time to sigh. She swi ngs on a sunflower's withered head An d busily run ches its stored-up seeds; "Cheep, chee p! Chee p, cheep!" and the bird· ha s fl ed , And the li."fe is gone from the swaying weeds
Thr ee solemn c row s in a tipsy line Vlla"e r about th e pond's cold brink; Tb ev ha··e found a bole where the thirsty kine Reach through the froz en c rust to drinlc
The white snow sp r ink l es their coal-black wings, -B,, t sti ll tbE'y are black; and what r ec k they? Kab, l;ah! Kab, 1\ah ! Th e ir harsh cry rings o· er the snow the live l ong clay.
0\' er the trllnk of an app l e t r ee, Gnarled and knotted by stormy years, Merrv and blithe cree ps a chirlcadee"Chi kadee-clee" gay greets our ears.
White is his breast as the falling snow, C'ollar and jaunty cap are bla<l)\; And his fluttering flight so light and low Traces a path lil\e a snowflal\e's tra ck.
How dear to my heart are the winter birds, Their c hirps, their co urage, their grace, their ways-
But who can express by faltering words
The joy that they add to the winter clays?
Bits of life that gladden the fields, Snatc h es of song that cheer the heart, E ,·en the joy that the springtime y i e lds Scarce ca n comfort when we mu s t na rt F. M. H., '05.

U S talk is now · being heard r ega rding the making of our auditorium into cla ss rooms Th e argument s advanced in favor of s u ch a proce dure ar e: First, t h e space is n eeded mu ch mor e for cla ss rooms than for th e purpo e 1t is n ow being put to. Sec ond, no benefits of any account are de riv ed from cha pe l exe r c ises a nd the ,other us es of the room do not justify i ts maintenance. W e admit that we ar e in ne ed of class rooms and in n ee d of th e m badly. We deny that we n eed cla ss rooms, howev er, mor e than we need the auditorium. W hat we want and what we n ee d i s a n ew build in g. Thi s w e must ha ve, and if the auditorium s boul\) be mad e in to cla ss rooms it would s imply be giving us relief [or the p ese nt and postpon in g for a year or two the erection of a n ew building. L in co ln is a progr essive town. Not only is her popu l ation in creas in g, but her educat ional lif e is r apidly growing. A lar ger per ent t han ever befor e of the boys and girls of high s chool age ar e found in the high sc hool. As long as the city co ntinue s to grow as au ed u cat ional ce ntr e, thi p er ce nt will in c r ease.
If the bill, no w b efore the l eg is latur e, to aboli sh tuition and open the pub li c schools to rural t h e sa me as to ci ty st ud ents, passes, n ext year we s hall probably hav e a hundr ed mor e out-of-town st udents tha n we hav e th is year. This , added to the usu a l increase in enrollm e nt , shows that the high-school attendance has by no means reached its max imum or even a pla ce whei·e it will co ntinue to grow slowly. lt is quite evident, therefore, that the auditorium , remod e led' into a half dozen class r ooms, would not greatly benefit u s. Not o n l y is the aud itorium at present very us ef ul as a st udy room, but it a lso g i ves u s a place to congregate for th e morning exercises. These , we ho l d, ar e very esse ntial if the a cm e of perfection in high schoo l lif e i s to b e so ughl. It is strange how' ab stra ct some of L in coln ci t i ze n s regard us.They do not seem to th ink for a moment that we are a body of young peopl e , full of life and e nth u s iasm, e nti rely optimi s ti c, e a s ily im pressed, and with an ear and an eye to things beaut i fu l .' They seem rather to look at u s a s so many animals, to be driv en about in the high schoo l cl ass roo ms for four years and and then turn ed loo se t0 do whatever may co m e handi es t. If, during th E-se four yea rs, they h e ar frolJJ u s outside t h e v; c init y of the sc hool buildin gs, the i r boyh ood i mag in atio n, tha t bas so long been call oused, rey i-; e·s a n d we are i mmed iately t hara cte ri zed as fit. C<tndidat es For· admission to e i ther th e r e form school, J... Pn it ent iar y or in s an e asylum. To allow us to cong regate in o n e pla ce for about half an hour three days in the week i s regard ed as the h e ight of fo ll y and no good whatever is pi ct ur e d as a r esu lt of th ese m ee ting s . For instan ce, they see m to have no co n cept ion of a football ce l eb ration except as an hil arious affair that unfits us for st ud y the balan ce of th e day, instead of be ing, as i t i s, an in s trument that brings th e sc hool together, makes eac h individual st u dent patrioti c, and paves t h e way for better athletics in t b e sc.uool, besid e s putt in g everyone in a happi e r and b ette r m ood for s tudy on that day. Th e o ppo rtunity afforded us, through the soc i ety and class programmes and the ce l ebrat ions g i ve n in chap e l , of l earnin g to s p eak , s in g or play in public i s very sl i ghtly co nsi d ered The benefit the great mass of the st udents der·i vc from each c hapel exe r ci se and the means these exercises afford of promoting a ll schoo l int eres ts, are exceed ingl y great, yet they, too , receive no co nsid erat ion. Th e id ea that there shou ld be some means of maint ai ning school unity i s sco rn ed. Self-gove rnm ent they laugh at as a tbmg we s hall s oon tire of and discard. We a r e l ed to be li e v e that no g r eat number o f T .incoln'speople s h a re these opinions and we think that tho se who do. will , if th ey in ves ti gate, find that the cha pe l exP.rcises afford only an e n v ir onment fOI' good an d ronseque ntl y are indispensable. and fu rth er, that the sc hool unity and sy tern of se lfgovernment that i s b emg worked out throu g<h them is growing perm <n ent and becom ing a g r eat facto r in i nc u lcating se l f - respect in th e individual stude nt a nd in stre n gt h e ning hi s chara cte r.

Yet 'neath outward rug ge d tra i ts Was found a heart so big. so good, Th at several million people's fates He gladly turned to brotherhood.

A SKETCH OF LINCOLN'S LIFE
"The attention of an observer, who stands upon the seashore and surveys the changing surface of the deep, i s not attra cted so much by the mighty mass of waters spread out b efore him as by the
wa• es wh i ch lift the i r crests hi g h in the air, as if to assert their individuali ty and power "
So, when we study the death strugg l e wdtb the ' Tcu th," we do not notice so much the masses of tbe peo ple engaged in that struggle as we do the leaders . Among tbeEe there is none so strik in g , as we l ook back o v er the field of action, as Linro l n towering high above, not on l y the dead l eve l of humanity, but all bis illu striou s co ntemporaries.
If any man's caree r ca n be sa id to have been guid e d by the hand of the Omnipotent One, sure l y such muEt h ave been the caEe w;it h Ab r aham Lincoln. On February 12 , 1809, among Le wilds of Kentucky , in what co uld har,.uy be called a substant i al log-hut, of a sh i ft l ess father and a physically weak moth er, midst abject poverty, was born the man who was to b eco m e one of our most noted, lov e d and honored statesme n. Nor was this low• b irth a ll that Lincoln bad to contend with. Educational opportumties in the ba cl;woods were very few. What schools there were were of the poo re s t quality. H i s sc h ooling all togeth er did not amount to a year. Abe, however , r ece i ved valuab l e h elp from hi s mother, who was · ab l e to r ad and write, a rar e accomp li shment in t hi s backwoods co u nt ry. His fat h er ca red little for his so n 's e du cation and t rainin g. He seemed to be sat i sfied so lon g as there was bread and whisky to be bad. The mother , on the co ntTary, can no t be too highly spoken of. Alt h ough she was taken from him by the enemy wlhen be was but twelve, lle r influ e n ce n eve r left him .
Mounting over all these difficu l ties by haTd wol'li: and cease l ess e n e r gy, LinroJn ro se to the, head of the nation. He ros e just at a time when his cle arsighted, so un d statesmanship was most needed ; when perhaps the union ro ulcl not hav e been preserved w ithout the aid and se lf-sacrifice of a sympathetic yet firm leader.
It see med that this man bad been born for no other pu rpo se than the preservation of the union, for sca r ce l y had this been secur e d w h en, lil'e a •pr earr ang ed tragedy, b e was stricken by the hand of the a ssass in. To us nothing seems more horr ible in a ll our hi story than this fou l deed .•Thus a life of se l f - sacrifice was brought to a martyr's clo se His tas k was done; the s l aves were free. the union saved.

The sound of bells to hear And the folks, the· spo n sors too , in most eager ch ee r.
At n ea rly nine the "bo bs ' arrived, And, oh, suc h fun was had, the girls climb ed o v er s id es of sleds, As thi s became the fad
Wben one b ra ve cr ew got started, though, To tbe great dismay of all , 'l'he sled broke clown with suc h a crashThere wa s a mighty fall.
Although no one was injur ed mu ch, Ther e was a general scramb l e, For those who had not fallen out Toward the doors did ramble ··.

M.USIC in the L. H. S. has always received considerable attention We have had a director to superintend the regular chapel singing and various artists have frequently entertained us: Chorus worl{ has for some time been an elective stud Y in the High School cu rri cul um. The annual opera is now a fixtur e and the claims being made for this year's production indi cate that it will eclipse everything previously given. All this is indeed gratifying, but something is la ck ing i'n a musical way, and that is an orchestra Many who take little interest in singing have attained considerab l e 'Proficiency on some orchestral instrument and both they and the school should profit by it. Though poorly organized and • practically without assistance, yet much b e nefit was derived from the orchestra of last year. Now, we should lil{e to see it reorganized and we believe if the proper inter est is shown, the principal, faculty, students, and board of education would give it their support and p rovide the necessary sheet music and a director . Those most interested wo uld facilitate the matt er by ca lling a meeting for the purpose of 'Perfecting such an organization.
For some teason our local editor failed to get in his copy this week and we are obliged· to go to press without that portion of the paper.
"SKIP DAY "
Senio r Skip Day, worlds of joy; Fiftee n girls to e v ery boy, Snow and i ce were everyw 'he re, Straw mos tl y in maiden's ha i r.
Frosted toes and frozen hands, Jolliest of jolly bands; Sleds pa cl,e d tight with many fo l ks; Things that occurred were mostly jokes.
Eat in g, eat ing till we're full; Not a gir l or boy was du ll , And sponso rs happy looked Peering from their pretty nool{S .
Dancing, jumping, bo p ping too, All indulged in them 'cept few, ft nd the g am es were much enjoyed By the peo•p le so employed,
So our happy day was ended; On our homeward way we wended, Feeling very much alive'Cause we're the cl ass of ninetee-n five. -FA

Last Wednesday the Seniors had the most fun that bas ever been experienced by any Se ni or class. Our holiday, usually called "Skip Day," coul d not have occurred at a more su itab l e time than Wednesday. The sleighing w'as excelle n t and we made good use of the snow.
About two hundred and fifteen Sen i ors met i n the lower hall of the cap itol at 9 o'clock. Miss Fox and! Miss Kingsley, the cl ass s ponsors, ente rtained the crowd by trying to escape from their "kidnappers." But even against the mighty strength of President Collins• and Bl anche Gibbons, Miss Fox made her escape, taking a mile-a-minute gait down Fifteenth street. Miss K i ngsley, a lthough not so light - footed as Miss Fox, offered as · much resistance, but her plans for escape d i d not work, so she was compelled to ride to school with us in a sled. At 9:15 the sound of sleigh-bells were heard and the Seniors forgot the ir d i gn i ty and ra ce d over the banks of snow to the s l eds as a band of Freshies might nave done.
When six sleds were packed the merry c r owd started on their journey. But, a l as, befo r e one s l ed

w&s bare l y outside the capitol grounds it br oke dow'll and such a fall of Seniors wa s n eve r seen be fo re. This was only one of th e exciting thin gs t h at ha ;:•pe ned on the r ide. Another s l eigh went as far as· Seventeenth and C streets bef or e it bro ke do\• n This afforded the people a jo ll y ti :ne, for they had to come Lip town on a car In the confusion Ne va Hibn e r ws.s heard to a sk, "What is my name? Where am I at? ' No one seemed able to a ::u;;wer h e r. Th e merry bunch got off at t he postoffice, ior they cou ld rid e no fu r ther for on e fare. Whil e one of the boys 'p hon e d for another sled, the rest of the people hung aroun<l o r perched on radiators. It was found that Gra ce Mi tche ll had fro ze n he r ear and Gene Sage ke pt bu s y pa cking i t in 10ucw to ease th e pain. Soon th e bob came ann this •pa rty s ta r ted out in search of more experie r,ce£ Other sled loads had a-s thrillin g expe ri ences, but in spite of many fro zen and hands they all d ec lared that they had · had a fine ride.
During the afternoon t.oe Seniors wer e very qui e t and all stayed at hom e to r est. At 5 o' cl ock they gathe r ed together again at the High Sc ho ol grill room, where a fi ve - co ur se dinner was se r v ed. Th\s was given by the gi rl s, complimentary to the boys The menu cons i sted of:

These were introduced by Sidney Co llins as toastma-ster.
After this h earty repast th e party adjourned to Wa ls h hall for an all around good time Many of the class did not dance, but games were •pro vided for these and we had a most g l orious time.

The cla ss of '0 6 met Thursday instead of Friday night . So me of th e Juniors thought it was v e ry ne ces sary to have a skip day F .r iday and that was the ca use of the e arly meeting.
The skip day plan was easily overruled, but the
question of a Junior bop was di sc ussed. A r ep r esent ati ve was sent to Dr. Sanders to see if h e appr o ve d of the plan, and to get him to come to the meEt in g, but he was busy and was not d isturbed. A committee was a pp ointed to see to this dan ce
All three of our cla ss sponsors were present. We we r e very g l ad to wel come Miss P il s•bury. She is one of o ur sponsors and was out the greater part of last semester owing to sic lm ess.

Some are making comm e nts on the par liam e n tary ord e r of our cla s-s meetings They say that we a re t oo st ri ct in ruling people out of ord er and in conside ring "Robe rt s' Rules. " However true this may be, it seems to th e writer that our work m ight be carr i ed on in a quieter and more business -li ke way if we did more and talked less in r la ss .meet i ng.
The clas-s me e ting January 27 was held in room 33 as usual. After a heated discussion as to whethe r or not the party committee appointed by Ex-President Bennett was now a l ega l comm ittee , we pr ocee ded to our other bus in ess.

THOUGH the punishment Inflicted for tardin eGs, viz. an eighth periort, seems somewhat harsh, yet when we are informed that it has reduced the tardiness two-thirds, we come to believe it is justified . Slow street cars , a late breakfast, heavier work than usual, a poor clo ck o,• one of a hundred other things may ca us e lis to b \' tardy, but nine times out of ten none of these would cause us to miss a train. WheneYer we think it is absolutely neces:;:ary that we do a certain thing we generally accom p- li s h it If ge-tting to s chool on time is made a fixed rule , and enforced, we sha lL, of cour:;:e, come to abide by it. If in doing so we learn to be r e-g uhr and alway;; "o n time" we shall be benefited by what we consider a somewhat severe r egulation.

Perhaps they do so in the ro l e of compassionate missiona rie s, int€'ll ding to give comfo rt and wla ce to the lon e ly. We are s-ure no feeling of rancor or even slight enm ity exists betwe en t he F re shman class and a s ingle other memb eT of the school , but we be l ie> e the cla ss is ju stified in exhibiting indignation when its pre-rogatives are int e r fe rr ed with by mem hers of other clasSE'S· Do you r emembe r the first f ew weeks of your Freshman year? How strange everyth ing seen::ed and how intri cat e the anangement of hall s and c las s rooms , how co nfusing the rush a n d jam of hundreds about you and in what a bur ly -b ur l y world you thought yourself. Nothing stayed with you as keenly, howe ·. er, as the pert of some Senior, petrified w i th dignity and im'igining himself a second Socrates fer wi s dom, who, when you meekly as ked wh e e room 22 wa s , co nde s cended to say, as be you to on e dde and passe d on, "Top floor of north bui!d i ng; a guide· will take there in a mo11"en t."

THEI DE<AR LITTLE LOCKERS.
How clear to this heart are the scenes of the high school, when fond recolleetion presents them to view! The c hapel, the office, the o.ft c r owded lun ch r oom, And ev't y loved spot which my maidenhood knew, The wide spre ading halls with their welcoming POI ta l s,
Where teachers. were waiting with Jool;s that apall The youth and the maiden with stud ies o'er laden, And the d-ea r little lo ckers which stood in the hall,
. Th e dear littl e loc l;ers, The tall li ttle locl;ers , The small li ttle lo ckers whicb stood in the hall.
Those littl e lo c!;e r s I hailed as a treasuse, For ofte·n when wearied I wanclerecl that way,
· T found it the source of e1<q ui s it e
· To p-ut up my boo l;s for the r est of the clay. How ardent I siezecl it with bands that were glowin g,
That bat which was o u ce a ll my trea:3ure ancl p· itl e, Then soo-n with a fee ling of wrath overflowing, I st n c l\ in the )1at pins, aucl sat clown and cr ied, Tbose cl•e ar littl e lo ckers, Those tall littl e lo cl;ers, These sma ll little· lo cl;e r s wh i ch stood in tile hall.
That oft w ritt e n note, how I lo ved to r ece i ve it. 'T'hougb plarec1• in the lo cl(er and safely co n cea l ed , Not -a friend or companion cou ld tempt me to l eave it.
· Fer house cleaning clay wou l d it's presence r e veal, And now, far removed• from the clear old su rrouncliuJ!E,
Th e tear of re"'ret will i lltrus iv e ly faJI
As fancy · reverts to the o l d I in co in h igh s c hool .APcl sighs for the l oc l•ers which sto o d in th e hall. The dear littl e Jo cl<ers, The tall littl e lo cke r s, The s !llall little l ocl;ers which stood in the ba ll.

GRAND MASQU E CARNN AL ON SKATES
Fri day , March 3d
It will be something new to us all and undoubtedly will be one of the most amusing and interesting events ever witnessed in Lincoln.· This will take place at the Auditorium, March 3rd. No one will be allowed on the floor except those who are masked. Just as interesting to spectators as to those who take part. Spectators will be admitted to the gallery at the usual price. The grand march will take place at 9:30, at which time the following prizes will be awarded: Ladies-First most original costume, pair of niclde -p l ated· second, best comic costume, twenty-session ticket.

The Basket Ball Games
Those who were not present at the Auditorium last Friday evening to see the basket-ball games with teams from Topeka High School missed one of the big treats of their high school life. The tables were just turned around from the result at Topeka-the boys winning and the girls losing. The sum .of total scores for all four games shows the Lincoln High School Is one point ahead· . Space does not permit personal mention of the work of the teams. The boys' game was won largely by team work and those who saw the game know that s'plrit and• determination to win was the prln-
clpal factor . , Every man on the team played a strong game and we should not forget that the guards deserve as much credit and often more than the men who throw the goals . In the Topeka tfam, Hope (Oapt.) was the star and played a brilliant game .
In the girls' game the Topeka girls were s•wift on their feet and played a hard, aggressive game. Our girls. made a good showing, however, and de· serve credit for their plucky efforts to wln.
Final score: Boys, Topeka 80, L!nco.ln 45; girls, Topeka 85, Lincoln 26.

My Dear Friend: I l"ejoi ce d excedingly when your !etta- arrived. It p ut me at in the old hall s witl! mu ch noise, and more ha1>1iness than any othsr halls I have ev 'e•r known In Qming to a n ew p)lce one feels more or les s lon e.- and the r e pJerrbrance of the home and friends s. re ce ntly l eft ]1h ind is a great satisfaction, even if it ;8 ting e with sad ness. The la st se mester in the r in c• ln high school was a v 'e ry happy perioqn my life ,and' it will not soon be forgotten.

In this section of the st<e weather has• not been as cold as at Lineal. "Je mountain-s around seem to have· a heavy coa i snow but this va ll ey is almost enti r ely free ':' h e s tr ee t-s and roadG• are dry, and in places ar e dusty. We are pleasantly situated and have alI'e.ady commen ce d to enjoy our new work, and to feel mor e or l ess at home. Our entire family ha s been unnsllally fortunate in escaping all ills except trifling colds.
The ' unive : sity is much better housed and equipped than the U. of N. was at the corresponding p e riod of life. It has a much b e tte r colle cti on of pictu r es and casts tnan the U. of N. now owns. B u t on the wi1ole it is still young and· like all of us young peop l e is just dying to grow.

A TRUE GHOST STORY
About two miles outside of town and near the bank of a pond, is an old two-story house. Its dilapidated a!)pea ran ce -shows that it has not been o r cl' pied for a l ong time. The doors hang loos ely 011 their hinges or flop about in the wind A ll the glass ha s bee•n broken out of th e windows and the dirt is thick on the floors.
The story is told that the hou se was entered one night and the man Ji , ing there was t..:i ll ed and ever f ince the house has be'En haunted, it being said that the old n:a n 's ghost ' isits it e1 e ry night.
The g r oups that go skating on the pond, moon· "light nights, always give the haunted hous e a wide berth. But one night a crowd of us were out skat. - ing and one of our party, a boy, said "I'm not -afraid• to go in the haunted hou se I'li dare anyone to go with me."
Most of the boy·s took up the dare , and as the gir ls did not wish to be call ed cowards and l eft alone, they said they too would go So we started
Rogers & P e rkins Co ., 0 Stieef
toward the hou se, but wh en we had gone part way N e l li'e said: "Where have Ben and Chick gone?" and one of the boys told her they bad decided to Elay and sk at e up the pond. By this time we had :ear h ed the old broken down fence sur rounding the ho c: se. The group stood huddled together to hold a co nsu l t1tion and r ene w the cr;>urage of some of the g irls and some of the boy.s too, for that matter. F inally we ad vanced in a bunch to the front por ch of the old house and w•ere just cl imbing u p onto it wh en th ere was a terrific cras h withi!l as though a large pane of g l ass had been b t olten. We ran back in terror to the open space in front of the hm: Ee and s tood there a moment in silence. Sudden ly a blood-curdling sc r eam came from the house which was fo llo wed by horribl e g roans and we rould see ghostly forms mov ing about. By this time "·e were all thor o u gh ly f flg ht e!led and ran with all our might down the road towards tow11, some of the girls scre aming 1ike mad people. Befor e lo ng we overtool' B en and Chick who were also quite breathless. They said they thought we were farther ahead and they were trying to overtal•e us We all stood there a few minutes while ,, e caught our breath and told the story to the boys. They to think it w'as a great jo l'e and l3. u g hed a !l d nudged each other. In a few minutEs we started on h ome but we could talk of nothi ng e l se all the way to town
Now wheneYer we go to that pond to skate, no one dares eve n to go near the haunted house but B en a n d Ch i ck often try to get u s to go I -guesb tl:Jey don ' t believe w e sa w the ghost. · N H.
BROTHER NED
I was on my way to the capito l , thinking of f;;ome pa re rs that had been laid on my desk the ni ght before, conce rnin g the case of a young fe llow who had cau s ed much trouble in the East Ninth district. That morn ing I was to give my d ec ision :0-11 the case, the sentence being ten years in the penitentiary A pardon had been peti tioned for and I was debating whether or not it s hould be granted, when my attention was attracted by a child 's coming along the dri v-e to wa : ds me.
H e was tired, very tired and oh, so dirty. Hts little l egs had been going very fast along the park dri'. e and the ch ild was so sma ll. ins l ittle body sank wearily down on the bench nearby and a pair
New Spring Styles Wal k- Ove r, W . L. Davis , and Sorosis at Roge rs
of big blue eyes in a very grimy little face looked appealingly tnto mine
"Say, does you know Ned•?"
"Ned? Why who's Ned?" I asked in return.
"Just Ned, that ' s all. Ned me and l loves Ned. Ned's gone. Does you want to help me find him?"
I tool< the little fellow on my knee and stroked the tangled yellow curls, so like anoth-er l ittle fel· l o w who was s afe at borne W1ti:J. his mother.
"Now, tell me all about Ned, child, and tell me your name."
"My name's Johnny and Ned-why Ned' .:; my trover, but a bad man co:ned and too !; ed him away one day and I comes e very day and 1oo1's for Ned l: u t he d on ' t come and I m:ed to meet him in the rarl, , and I wants him."
The dirty little li ps quiYered, the big blt;e f li e d with tears and tbe tangled yellow culls fell on my slee v e.
"Poor little man, we will see what we can do for you. Tell me all about Ned and we will find him."
The little head raised itself slowly and the b ig blue eyes lool<ed bra v'ely into mine. " We find him -me and you?" and the sturdy little legs strugg led to th e g r ound. After much persuasion and many interruptions the child• told his• story and as he tall,ed I realiz'ed that the young fellow whom I was that morning to pardon or to send to prison was the child's brother. It was a strained positiO"n for me, the governor of the state, to be placed in Should I write the word which would save this child ' s brother, tlte only friend he had in the world, or should I let him pay the penalty for his crime. Justice was struggling with sentiment and justi ce had almost won, but at that moment I felt a little arm about my neck and a soft cheek pressed close against my own. The caress· was so like that other little fellow's.
"P l ease, mister, is you ready to go find Ned?"
I thought again of the boy at home with his mother, then looked into the appealing face of the boy beside me, and I put my arm about him. Mere justice was forgotten. The child had won.

APLAN for adding. executive ;powers to our present system of self - government is now being suggested. At the present time publi c opinion alone must serve to discountenan ce all 2.cts of impropriety and it iR thought that this i s not as e ffective as it should be. T •he plan under cons ideration is briefly as follows: Elach class e le c ts thr ee of its members, and in a manner that w ill give minority representation, and choses one it s sponsors, who, together with the members and sponsors of other classes and• the principal, fo rm an investigating and advisory board, somet hing similar to the grand jury of the pr e•se nt day judicial system. This board would' be expected to g ive attention to all matters affecting the best deportme nt of the school, such for example as scuffl ing in the lower halls and unbecoming conduct in c hapel, and to advise the separate classes as to what remedies are most desirable. The classes would then be free to act in accordance· with the s ugg estio ns or not, just as they ,please, but in all r robability after a matter had been· threshed over by twelve representativ e members of the school, io ur members of the faculty and• the princi pal, and a de cision arrived ' at, the r e would! be ' little room for questioning by the classes and little doubt but that theY' wou l d rea d ily sanctio-n ' it and rmt into \ Xecution whatever the decision : demanded What
we must no\'r decide is· whether or not we want this committee, who's duty it sha ll be to guard our interests and seek to root out e <: e ything that shall in any measure tend· to reflect d iscredit upon our s : bool. W'ill it benefit us? If so, then we muEt ha - e it. But how are we to de cide as to whether it will b E bene D.c i a l ? S i mp ly by t r y i ng it. In theory, at it seems very p l ausible and to determine whether it i s p rac ti cab le we must give it a fair trial. Th e r E• seems to be no a v en u e whereby a committee of t h is l' ind cot·ld injure us, but on thl.l co ntrary e'l'e r y reason why it shou l d prove very helpful.
ALONG with the suggestion of a schoo l organization comes one of classroom organization, which is mere l y t h at each class in each room at each p e,r iod have a pre gident and secreta r y who ' s duty it sha ll be to iook after the intere s ts of that class and relieve the teac h er of all work pe rtaining to the school outsid·e of his or h e r study, e. g., the se lling o f tickets to the various High S c hool e v ents, malang announcements, etc. This suggestion does not ap1pear as feasible as the first fo r the reason that on account of so many classes it would· a ppe ar quit e as difficult to keep th e organi zation of each into line as it would be to attend to the matters that woul d affect this organization. Perh a ps, however, we do not fully appreciate the va l u e' of the classroom organization because we are unable to discover its many ways of usefulness, hence this too should be given a t r ial.
An in cre ase in outside work has obliged Lynn Fo£sler to r es ign his position on the sta ff As ioc al editor Mr. Fos sler perfo rmed his duties admirably and the va lue of the paper has to a conE: id erab le extent been due to his untiring energy. lY. r.

CICERONIA NOTES
· February 24th the Ciceronians held their meeting in room 200. The debate as usual was characterizEd by earnestness and snap. 'l'he Ciceronians are doing some genuine work in debate. The soc i ety no w1 co ntains twenty - six members and• every member is thorough l y interested in debate.
The pleasant feature of the evening was a visit from the Girls' D ebating S•ociety as a body. The gir ls gave the boys a candy feed which was mu ch appreciated Miss Clarke, their spo n ser, offertd some excelle nt s u ggesti ons a l ong tile line of debating in the high school. She especia ll y recommended the teaching of elo cut iOn in the high school in order that the debat e rs we put out shall have a pleasing delivery as well as sound argument. This s uggestion was tal,en up by the boys and they agreed that a department of elocution in our school would strengthen our debating very :ma-
terially.
March 4th the Ciceronians held• their· regular

A STUDY IN BLACK
Jack looked dis co n s olat ely around the skating rink.
" Thr ee o'clo ck; I don ' t belie ve T o m i s c oming. I will skate a few times a r ound and then go."
As h e n ea r ed the er;tr an c e a small lithe figure shot in from among the spectato r s. N He r in his life had he seen anyone so gra cef ul. She was dressed entire l y in black and her sm all hands w ere claspe d behind her.
Arou nd an d around she g lid e d a nd, to hi s amazement, Jack found he was following her. He was poss essed- by a strange des ir e. He wanted to spea k to h e r. If he could only skate with her h e felt he would be p e rf ectly happy.
For two weeks Ja ck haunted the rinl' and that black, ;pathetic figur e glid ed ever before him. He invented plans, fashioned exc uses to speak to h e r , all to. no purpo se
Many a fellow would ha •e asked h er to skate anyway, he knew. But somehow Jack cou ld' not do that for there was somet hing in that small perso n which placed her out away from the c r owd abont her. She !mew no one, she spoKe to no one. Just at three she came, just at five she l eft, and as the .time passed Jack noticed she seemed weary; h er face was paler, her eyes la rger and darker, her whole appearance sadder. A strange contrast to the bright, hap;py throng about her. There came a day when she · seemed ra cing against herself. Looking utterly weary, she forced herself to go
faster and faster till Jack could· s c a rc ely keep near her. Then came a qui ck snap, a c ry and she would hav e fallen hnd he not c aught her. Th e strap on her skate had· broken, a n d going at such a speed she surely would have been severely injured had- she fnllen to the floor. She loon.ed at him with great gratitude in her wonde r ful dark eyes
" I thank> you," she said, simply.
"Do let me he l p you to a seat, " Jack cried eagerly.
" If you will, p lease," said· she, and took hi s ar i!l.
Now it i s very diffi c ult to walk on one r o ll er skate and Ja c k found it very pleas ant to ha ve her cling to his• arm in that helpl ess way.
"May I g e t you anoth e r pair of skates," he ask ed as· he pla ce d h e r gently in a chair.
"I do not think I shall go U!POn th e floor a ga in today, and• , "s h e add e d shyly, "I want to thank you for yo ur troubl e and· attention."
Ja ck grew Ye ry r e d in th e face.
" Now don ' t think of it I b eg of you. It wa s no trouble at all. I hop e yo u will gi ve m e th e p lea s ur e of-I meau-oh, goo dby e," h e stammered, and dart e d off very mat at him self for his conf u sion. The sma ll maid en in b l ack smiled but siip;ped qui Etly o u t before he could skate around to h e r again.
On the next day she acknow l edged hi s greeting with a sm il e and· h e joyfully skated to her side
··won't you l et me skate with you Miss- Mi ss-''
"My name is Rosali e Stu r ge ss," she sai d
"And mine is Ja ck Armstrong," s aid be, an d tal\ing he r hands in his they skaled on in pe r fect rhythm. The baud was p l aying "In the Good O l d Summer Time."
For months the gir l in black was not seen at the· r ink, b ut one day in she came and her black gown was brightened by a huge bunch of Yiolets. She was not alone. A young man accompanied her. Silently th e y skated for many m i n ute 3.
"lt doesn't seem possible it was here· I fir s t met you," he said l ooking around the rink and then at h i s companion. She laughed but there was no sadne s in her voice as she answered,: "How discouraged I was that day. It was the fi' st anniversary of my father's death and my mother was weaker than usual. I scarce l y l eft her day or night. The do ctor forced me to come and tal'e the daily exercis e ,p-r escribed for me. I did not want to come that day, and yet, yet I can never regret it for it brought about the happiest day of my life."
"Mine too," he gently whispered. M. H.

Onr Early School
I wish to s ing a song today Of old schoo l days a-gone for aye; Of those glad' times wh en we were tots, And on the b la ck board st ill made1 dots .
Our h earts were gay, our hearts were light ; Our faces shone with gladness brig ht.
We never dreamed' that soon would come The afterlife so burdJcJIIsome.
We loved to play with snow and ice, Or shoot at teacher with our rice; Not much we cared! when she wou ld• rave And try to mak e us all beha ve.
We to play the shinny game, For cra cki ng shins increased our f ame ; And every spring we marbles played Until our knuckles sore we made.
When someone cried ' , "A fight! a fight!"
We always ran with all our might To s€'€1 the bloody, bloody fray
And praise the man who won the day.
THE CURSE OF CURLS
B T K.
Angelina wrinkled up her little forehead and pulled savagely at her favorite curl. What was the use of having your hair washed anyway? She wished she had black hair like the big black cat and then her mother would let her hair alone maybe, or she could wash her own hair like the cat did.
Something had to be done and done at once. With this prodigious conc lu sion Ang-elina stood
;.' J before the big hall clocl,, sucking one thumb and slowly counting the hours- with the othe r Wh eu you can only time by the hour hand, you h a Ye to guess at t he minutes. Angelina sat on the bott a m sta ir a n d meditate d. When she sat below the gra ndpa cl ock it was two o' clo elc When she stood up it was halE rpast two The point of view often changes matters. At any rate her mother would be home at five o' c lock a n d say:
"Now, Angelina, it's ti me to take off your hair rib bons."
Then th e awful s oap y' water would be in h e r eyes , and he r ears would bu zz, and she would cry wh i l e mo re so a p hurt h er eyes.

Mayb e the r ed boo!' 1rit h the pi ctur es of ii ttle g irls w oul d te ll how n ot to wash one's ha;r. The· book was in the d oll hou se , only it was n ' t a bo o k be ca use wh en a handi;e r chief was o vEr it, t he· b o ok was a table.

There was the knife brother gaYe her-but br othe r always had to open it Ange li na s i ghed; sudden ly s h e 1 emembere d her lit tle ldndergarten scif.sors' with the r ed ribbon on the handle . With this means o f escape open Angelina committed the rash deed.
Afte r the first joy of freed o m came remorse. She l co k ed into the mirror and threw herself sobbing on the ficor. Her mother would ne 1· er, ne r er know her and wouldn't t hi nk she liwd here anrl she couldn't ha v e the doll hou se. Ang elina s obbed and gasped alternately, soon falling to s leep witlt the yellow proofs of guilt about her.

"Mur·.-er did it up . in wiggles," she murmured drowsily and fell asleep. L. F., '05.

The lincoln High School not only bas the credit of fumishing the greater number of the succeEsful athletes of the University, but of the debate rs as well. In tbe recent selection of the inter state debating team, which will represent Nebraska in contests· with the University of Iowa and Washington uni ve rEitY' th i s year, four out of the eight men chose n were Lincoln High s ehool alumni. The repr esentatiYes of the High School are: Chat'les A. Sawyer, Albert M. Levy, Dean Ringer and· Merton Corey. Of these four, S•awyer, Levy and· Ringer are old Giceronians.

Now th •at the track team i.s fairly laun ched on its spring training, the boys have had · a c han ce to get acqt;.ainted with their coach and become accustomed to his methods. E ld. M•anning bas· been found to be a better coac h than we eve r expected to get. His words are few andJ he is ve r'Y quiet as a rule, but when be does say anything the boys are all attention at once, for what he says is sure to be worth wlhile. He is a good, clean fellow in a ll r espects and the High S choo l can congratulate itself on the choice of one who is looked up to bya ll the boys.
There w>a.s a small boy named T app, For the girls be gave not a rap; When it comes to a door bell, He has shown be could ring right well.

THE SENIOR PLAY
The Senior play last Frid'3.Y, March 17, marked the climax of the success of the cla ss of '05 in the matter of High School entertainments. Probably no Senio :1 cla s s of the High S-chool has ner .shown more unity, more se1f-contro l, more school sp irit than the class of '05 But while these Yirtues are rec ognized , it should' also be noticed that probably no cla ss has e Yer receiYed more hearty recognition and more gene ous support from the rest of the - sehool. The play gi v en last Frid-ay evening pro ,· ed no exce ption to the rule. Tbe auditorium wa'5 fillEd with students and friends of the clas•s and of the school whose frequent and enthus-iastic ap•plause out the best effort of the players.
It i s a matter of great regret to teachers and stud ents both that apparently no plays exist of r eally good literary quality adap ted to the age anu abil i ty of High School students. "The Bigelow_, Butler," though not quite so objectiona ble on the score of Engl i sh construction, is much in-f e rior in dramatic interest to that selected as the Junior play last )"ear The interest of the story centers in the ad \ entures of an English nobleman, whr> has dis•ap -peared• from home and• is discove:.o.a by his friend and! his uncle's solicitor in the disguise of a butler in the household· of Joshua Bigelow, a Ruccess.ful soap manufacturer, whose daughter has been s elected by the eccentric uncle as• a s uitabl e wife for his nephew. The butler ma.nages to become mixed up in a burglary attempted upon Mr. Bigelow by a rascal who poses as the cle :.ical agent of the mission boar-d. Tbe butler maKes his escape and returns home to assume his proper title of lDrdi Carstairs, but lea ·: es a con viction in the mind of Mr Bigelov,; that he is a thief. This leads to some amusing blund•ers when the Bigelows lat er c all up on I ord Carst a i :;s in Engla!l d. His lordshi p has his way in th e' end, but the play l ea ve s Mr. Bigelow in an undeservedly humiliating p os i tion. The v ery ap parent w e akn es•s of the third a ct r es ult s from th e att empt to h old the attentio-n t o t h e ma i n int E.re s t of the form e r a ct by a very fl i m s y thr ea d Th e young lady , who kn ows who th e r e al thi ev es and how h e r th e butl er , ca me t o b e a cc us ed, i s highl y off e nd•ed for no b ett e,r r e a s on than b e aus e he· l eft Ameri ca withou t te lling her goo d! -by e

e <: ?. r cely thought of the w<eaknesses. Lynn Fas s l er d•id well in the · double character of the deferential butler a r. di the easy, self- confid ent Lo : d Carstain. )iarian Hart Yery ably· showed the, gentle attra cti ene s of France.s Bigelow . Katherine Follmer's ll··rs. Bigelow, homely of sp e ech and sturdy of character, could hard ly ha Ye been surpassed. The part of Joshua Bigelow, the self-made man, conscious and ' p :10ud of his achiev ement, was very taken by Dwight BelL Probably no part requir ed• more study and· more constant selfco ntrol than the difficult one of Mr. McE;unis, the Engli'sh solicitor, because it presents a ty•pe quite unknown in this part of the world. Searl Da Yis' success speaks well for his careful attention to detail of the part. EYen those w'ho know Gene Sa ge were surprised by the Yersatility d!splayed by him in the widely different roles of Sli ck Sandy, the Iris•h policeman, and · J-arrocks, the Engish butle,r. Hooper, the maid, was well dt me by Bessie Fader; and the fr-an c ciergyman was realistically p :.esented by Lloyd Whitney. Rugg s , r epresented by Holly Clark, was in look and act so manifesl:ly the crook that he could not have failed· of recognition by anyone a degree more suspic ious than the Bigelows. George Pratt's Trethway, pert andl self-assertive, was enthusiastically applauded by the audience.
The success of the Senior play le-ad'S us to anti cipate with interest the effo : lt of the Juniors, which will tal'e place in two or three weeks. We p rophe-sy for th e m the sup.port of the whole schoo l and the success which the hard work they are alread y doing in !}reparation for the event deserves.

ORDEIR in the lower halls only seems to grow worse . Comp,Jaint after compl a i nt is heard and the matter is now b e,coming intolerable and may soo n demand a very severe and arbitrary r:emedy This is a shame Mter having· our attention called to a thing of this kind we should t:1l: e pride in eradicating it inst ea d of allowing it to continue. What claim can we make to selfgoYernment if we permit continual disorder in t h e halls? Is it necessary that v.ne be threat e.nedl with temporary su.spension f r om schoo l in order that we ca r ry ourselves in proper demeanor while inside the buildings or can we of our own accord· act d ece ntly? It would be humi li ating, not to say disgra cefu l, to have a police system inaugurated i n our sc hool, but such w ill certainly be necessary unless some very prompt improvement of present cond•itions becomes eJVident. None of us desire to go through the balls in funeral pno cession style or when remaining in them act the :part of living statues, but neither should we desire to go at
speed; or if spending a minute or tWO in a ball to begin play i ng leap - frog. Our principal bas been 'ery l enient and e>en now does' not intend to t:ll;e matters into his own hands unl ess we force him to do so. Sc uffling and chas in g tb e1 halls cannot be tol e rat ed, how e • er, and it is up to us to exhibit a little self-control, and if ne e ss3ry, influen ce our n eigh·bor to do tb same, if w e wou l d' maintain the one thing we anl · procd of and the one thing that pla ces us ah ead of con t Em po rary

Many of last year's veterans will show up this year to make the team in the pi'a ces th ey will fill.

Many candidates are out for the d i ff e reJ;lt p laces, whi ch assures good, keen competition and a recordbreaking trac l' team that will probab l y win the Missouri va ll ey championsbJp .
Basket- ball is· practically at an end It :was hoped that a game cou l d be arranged between the High School and the U11ivers i ty team and the Wesleyan university. After dtt-ubbing the University Freshies 73 to 11 and• the Soph omores 63 to 11, the University showed no s i gns of accommodating us with a game. The Wesleya n five, after being beaten twice this: year by the Y. M C A., which was composed of fO Ul' High School p l ayers , decidled it wo ul d be foo lish to undertal'e to play the L H. 8.
Our scores in both Topeka games gave us' a margin of two points , which we can rightfully apply in justifying our claim to Kansas-Nebraska championship. Our team this year developed rapidly, under the coaching of Mr. Morrill, to be as good a team as we ever turned out, if not the best.

The se cond· team squad was· faithful to the last, as has not been the in former y€ars, and to them is due, in large measure, the degree of proilci!mcy obtained by their stiff "hucking."

T O THE MEMORY OF 44SPORT"
Out on the spotless snow you li e, Dear friend of my helpless years. Your loss will occasion many a sigh, Your memo ry bring many tears . The- childhood griefs I told· to you In s impl e trust were list ened to, And tho ' you co uld not speak, I knew Your s ympathy was sta un ch and true For was there meadow path so wild To lure the unsuspecting ch ild In sea r ch of flowers and' sweet birds' nest ; ·· Or over the hillside'si \'e't'lian'1!< 1cr€st 'i 1 Into thl! valle¥Js fresh embTaeil. - " "fill' , 1Jo see the tiny minn,gws ra_qe, And laun ch each little p aper boa t An& watch ' it 'do<vn the c urrent 'ttoat ;- ' u· ;t. by thl! ri'jjplel; and· ge:iitleThat' strays from yo nd er fore s t Or WB.$ there i,n J:bat prairie woods ,.,:fha,t Tin_e il the river ' s sand'y bank And shaded o'eT the marshy ground• ': ' T'n whi ch the bare f ee t slowly sank Among llie Wild ferns which abound · And 'neath the tangled orush are found, Was there a rplace you wo1J ldt not go? Was there a time 'the Jiidd€m foe ' Came unawar es up on me? No. The snake that glided to my feet
On ce, thrice its rattle did repe:J,t And held me by its glassy sta re Fixed. To speak I did not dare And in a horrible night-mar e I see!lJed, when thro' the air
OYer the grass and hi'gli-grown tar e ,
You l ea p to my side with savage glare And grow l at the dark coi l lmotted there. I .ike a flash it s·prang from its grassy lair And disappeared, I know1 not where. I only knew that my tr e mbling hand Was clu tch ing the glossy co llar band Of S port. ' Twas· enough to quell my fear To ha ve my brave play -f ellow near. Ah. Sport! tho se h appy days have gone And with them c hildhood's •play has flown You spent the days in lo nesome p eace Until my daily worh sh ould cease, Then always with your old-time glee, Lool!i ng up with fa ithful eyes, You bounded fortli and greeted me. You waf!'ged' your tail at e·very word As tho' you trusted all you heard, ..A nd• always gave me just the same Gl - d welcome when we met again. Dear fa ithful, brave, t iue -hearted friend, Your mEmo ry to my life will lend And with my l ove for nature b l end · A sympathy that hath no end. Farewell! God sees the sparrow fall; H e hath created each and all. He put all nature in His plan To make this life complete for man. V S., '05.
PINAFORE AND SCHOOL SPIRIT
Lincoln Hi-gh -School pupils have heard. a great deal about loyalty to tlreir school, and it is justly p r aised. Our present rank in athletics would• never have been possible if the stdents had not stood almost as a unit - back of that enterprise. When W{· gi Ye the same support to debating its place will be a s sured High School plays have bee'll phenominally successful, because the school has pushOOJ- them with a will But th ere remains one High Sc hool interest on which the students are divided; where not all of us see that here again there must be united action; where some of us p Erhaps have allowed personal to stand before loyalty to the school-this is the High School ope r a.
It is probably well known that years ago all •public events, d<ramatic and otherwise, were wholly by the students. Owing chiefly to tbeir inexperience and lack of 6stematic work, probably, the res-ults were not so gratifying as they migbt have been financially or otherwise. Gradually, as time passed, it was seen that better results w 'Fill obtained by the co -operation in such management of both faculty and students, and by thjl spring of 19 04 every enterprise of a money-making nature, with one exception, was und er such management. The Eocception was· .the, opera. This had been g i ven great in both 1903 an,l J 9 04, but the school reaped more glory than financia l benefit from the perfo r mances. A unanimous vote of the • facult y la s t sprine de cid•ed that it would be best that some of its members· should have a •place on every c ommittee which handles money. In a cco rdance with this rule a faculty musi c committee was appointed to help Mr. Miller in any >vay possib l e.
As it came time to plan for the opera the co mmittee found its elf confr onted by a most extraordinary situa tion-students , failing to gain •ontrol of the High School opera, deliberately organizing another in o ppositio n and defiance of the High S('hool. It is perhaps not so remarkable that those who had had the management of former entertainments shou l d feel the change keenly, but that there should be found students in the schoo l who bad no personal feeling in the matter, but were still willing to aid in such an PntPr'!Jrise, is hard to believe. It seems, how e•v er, to be true. And several stu(ConLin u ed to Page 6)

JOHN'S DECISION
Wiclcfield had liYed until he w as a young man in a little country to w n. His people were of a poor, hard-working class . T'heir reli g ion wa s their only Ielaxation. Th ey were ard en t Methodists and John himself had been converted at the a ge of nine years. After this im po rtant episode in his life hardly a Sunday passed b t what he was held up as a mod el to the re mai nd e r of the Sunday sc hool. As a result of being considered a pattern of perfection he was pretty generally l eft alone by .his classmates, even afte r he had entered the high school. Mrs. Vale, one of John 's teachers in the hi gh school, e n couraged him a great in his determination to be a minister This decision r egard to his future life nad been settled more
by his admiring neighbors than by himself When John , in his stiffly starched' little b l ouse waist and big sailor coll ar, stepped on the platform and re· cited long psalms, word for w<ord, they nud,ged each other triumphantly, nodded their heads and whis· pered, " That boy was ce rtainly intended· to b e a m i nister " So John finally d ec id ed to be a mini ste r and bent a]] hi s energies upon making himse lf a g o od' and wise one, for h e n eve r b e li eved in boeing second wh ere any amount of hard work co uld make him first. Mrs Val e, Jonn's teacher, was one of the first to whom he announ ce d this de c ision. S·h e t ook John 's hand's in both of hers and ·smiled, although h e r eyes brimmed over with tears. Her voi ce tre mbled as s h e wi s hoo him s u ccess.
John 's little hoard of mon ey for his co llege life grew slowly. He saved carefully and studied hard in schoo l and · in his spare moments diligently studied his Bib l e and the few theological books he bad' been able to 'procure. 'l' h e last y ear of John 's high school li fe came and h e had not yet brought together the amount of money which he had ca r efully deci(!,ed it wtas necessary to raise before he should l eave home
John and Mrs. Vale held many anxious consultations as to .some pra ctical method of adding to his hoard•
Oue afternoon John noticed that the usually quiet teacher was greatly excited. Her thin cheel{s were flushed and her eyes were bright. Her voice shook slightly as she · r e qu ested John to remain a few minutes a f t e r class. "I've t!:J.o ug ht of s omething at last that you can tlo, John," she said almost bef ore the dear was shut uJ;-on the la s t of the pup il s John sm iled an inquiry as he s tood up st1 aight and tall before her.
"You can write stori es, John I am sure you can get them printed , fo r you are the best pupil I ha' e ever had in my classes and I havP taught a J.o ng, long time ."
John's eyes gave a sudden flash, anc;I the n he stood l ooking thoughtfully out of the• window and making tiny c rosses on a blank sheet of paper on the window s ill.
"I believe I can do it," he sa id at la st, turning slowly to the eager- little te acher.
"Of course you can, John, Of cour se you can, " she said exc ite dly. (Co nclud ed u ext we e k)

WHY can't we have a ba-seba ll team this spring? In the past we hav e had teams that did credit to our sc hool and at present there is no reason why one should not be organized. A large number of fellows who tal'e no in-t e r est in tracm worl' are good men o-n the di-amond and would undoubtedly mak e a s trong team. That a team would r eceive support by the school goes without saying, -since th e basket - ball season i ;; now over and th•e ti'8!Ck m eets with possibly one or two exceptions, will not occur here. Th e athletic spirit of our schoo l has been fos.te r ed too long to lie dormant and a good baseball team this spri n g wo uld b e the pri d e of all. Who will take the initiative in its organization?
NEXT Friday our debating team meets the Beatrice High School at Beatrice. The loss of the Omaha d ebate served to place a temporary d•ampe•r u pon debating enthusiasm. Since then another gir l s' de b ating ociety has been o g•an i zed and each of the soc i eties a lr eady esta-
li s h e d a-re in ;:t. more prosp e ro u s condition than ever berore. The gelleral attitude of the school, f ac ulty as well a s students, is be co ming more and mor-e f-avorable to d e bating. Now that we are to meet one of the s tronge s t debating schools of the s tate, within a few days, it seems quite proper that we turn our attention to this branch of s chool activities. M eEs rs. Ben j amin Kess, Charles Bennett and Allen Meier, our re pr esen-tati ves in the co ming debate, are all capable spea k ers. Und e r the coa c hing of M r. N e il Cronin they have worked fa i thfully along well directed lines and are sur e to a cquit themsel ve s with honor and c redit to th e L. H. S . As a school it is our pla ce to give· them e ery poss ible e ncouragement during the next few days .
IN a !'ecent letter to one of o u r stude-nts, Dr. , W:olfe said:
"I am ve r y gl a d, indeed, to learn that Dr. Sand el's is receiving excellent sup port. You cannot understand what a great school you have. A full understanding of conditions in other large high schoo l s wou l d produce such loyalty and s u ch harmony in all essentials that the prin cipal of L. H. S. wou ld h.aYe few moments of di sc ou r agem e nt. It is true that some pupils must sacrifice their op inions a n d even labor against their b etter judgm e nt in ord e r to secure the blessi ngs· of lib e rty ; bu t is it not be tter to make this sacrifice voluntaril y than t o· li v e under condition s w b e : e th e opinions -of the pupils are not consu l t e d at all?"
If those will carefully read th e abo-ve extr a ct who do not a p prov e or the inauguration of a student marshal system, such as was recommended to the various classes by the co nferen ce comm ittee , perhaps they will conclude to modify their opinion.
ONE wee!' from today tne election of Th e Advocate staff takes place aJS provided for by the constitution of the a ssoc iati o n. W e make the announcement of it at this time in order tha-t eve ry subscriber in the school may arrange to be pre-sent. In pro portion to the interest s bown by attendance of s ub sc riber-s· at tn.s election, w ill the paper be valuable ne xt year. Du ring the present staff's tenure o.f office the pa per ha s had a debt hanging over it lil \e a. nightmaTe and the only revenue f or s u pport has been that d e<five d through adver ti s ing. Consequently the standard of the paper bas been far below what i t should naturally be Next year we sho uld lil\e to see the pap e r mo r e meritorious and r ep r ese ntati ve of ou r -s c h oo l than it has been this year. Schools and colleges f ro m Majne to Californi a judge us by our pap er and we shou ld have suffic i ent self-r espect to pub li sh a worthy one. We wou ld benefit ourselves by so doing To this• end let every subscr ib er ma.l<e it bis or h er bus in ess to be present at the com ing e l ection.

It is se ldom that a more attra ctive group of amateur actors has been seen on the High School stage than appeared in " Tulu" Friday night. The play itse lf was who l esome and clever, and most of th e players fitted their parts• to perfe ction.

Beatrice Defeats Lincoln
The annual debate between the teams of the L. H. S. and Beatrice, held last Friday night, was a victory for the latter by a unanimous decision of the judges. Beatrice had the affirmative ana Lincoln the negative of the question: " R e solv e d, That congress was unwise in abolishing the army canteen. " James Lawrence, Lawrence Weaver, and Samuel Rinaker spoke for Beatrice, and Charles Bennett, A. Meier, and Benjamin Kess for Lincoln. Each speaker was allowed fifteen minutes. The judges were H. E. Sackett, S. D. Killen, and Professor H. W. Caldwell of the Uni: The debate was held iJ!. the Christian church and brought out a good, enthusiastic crowd. The Beatrice boys showed much greater knowledge of the question than did Omaha in the recent debate with Lincoln on the same question. The debate was pronounced intensely interesting by every one. The team was accompanied by Coach Cronin, Roy Johnson and Forrest Tebbetts. All the visitors were hospitably entertained

JOHN'S DECISION, COncluckd.
They• talked fo r some time concerning John's plan of proceeding and he finally left the school house very hopeful and more ambitious than ever.
The first story was the work of several weeks. but at last it was finished to the perfect satisfaction of both John and his tea c her.
The story was grammatically ,perfect. But John did not realize that his teache r thought it was good only because it conformed exactly to her cut and dri ed methods of writing. He c arefully addTessed it and sent it off lovingly. By his father's suggestion be had en c losed stamps for return in case it should not be accepted . Both John and Mrs. Vale co nsid e red this an insult to the story. They waited anxiously for many weeks and• them the story was r eturned. The very curt note with it said that the story was unfit for publication. That it was unintere s ting and no one could be induced to read it. This was a shock to them both, but Mrs. Vale rallied first
" Neve r mind, John," she said. "Some of the b est literature we have now was at one time refused by an ignorant publisher." So the story was s e nt off again and John W'atched•it go less hopefully than before . It was returned a little more promptly, but no letter came with it John smiled in his teach er's tearful face, but when he had gone .to hi;;; room he sat with his head· bowed· upon the table until long after· his usual bed time.
Off the story went again, and John came back from mailing it and spoke gay•ly of the third time being the charm; that it would have to be printed this time
One day two letters came for John in the afternoon mail. One was the: much marked, mis-sent letter of the second publisher to whom John had sent the story John dropped it and· picked up th e very thin envelope from the last publisher, almost expecting a check. But the note only said that his story was altogether too old-fashioned in construction . That it was absolutely uninteresting and would never be read That the writing was so 1 stiff and unnatural that it could not arouse interest in any subject.
John mechanically picked up and opened the misSE\nt letter . The sum and· substance of it were the same as the one before. The words " absolutely unin.teresti:ng" s ee med to John to dance across the page in every direction. He sat in his chair too dazed to move and· his mind seemed to ce ase its working for a moment. Then he began to think> of old Deacon White nodding in his pew as the minister droned his sermon, and shudd ered.

HANFORD'S LI TTLE JOKE
·:r don-'t believe in this thing of just turning your pockets wrong s i de out to please these so· c:;tlled 'gentlemen of the road.' I tell you what, fd· never do it; I'd show fight. You wouldn't me meekly handing over a ll of my available
. Mr. Stan_ley Redmond, an extremely p r osperous man, thus vaunted his fighting ability. ,. "Mr. Redmond, would you just as 'lief' give the u,:; ,a pointe r s the ]?est way to over ce>me Sir Robber? I take lt from your talk that you inust have had experience in that line." ,· it Mr, Hanford who spolte. Redmond turned round ancJ thought he caught a glimpse e>f a smile of sarcasm on the face of hls interrogatcr. J?ut this self-satisfied man soon assured himself t,hat .it was merely imagil!ation that had p l ayed hiin a 'trick, for Hanford's face was set in its gravity.
Hanford was .a man of medium size. He a l ways dre!;lsed well and Properly-a great contrast to tbEl man with whom he was speaking. His hair was llrown and cur l ed delightfully (at least that was the feminine verdict), and his eyes· seemed to have a way of contr<t.dicting his ·This. feature was always fixed in a grave line, but the eyes · a l ways seemed to smile as tlwugl{ life was only a joke, after alL
Mr. Redmond was very evidently confused "Er, well no; llanford-I-I can't say as I've had actual ex pei·ience, but then you know, a fellow can know pretty well what he will do and then he will be prepared · if misfortune sho uld ever throw him in the way of a foot-pad."
"Tl:eories don't always work, you know," and wjlh that Hanford retired behind his new s paper. Dut Hanford's fertile brain: was not endching it s'elf with the-sensational contents of the p'aper,
but was evolving a little plan which had suggested itsel1 Yes, it would be great fun as well as teach that fe ll ow a few th ings that he wou l d remember, . for awh il e.
Hanford l eaned comfortably back in his seat and apparently dozed , while the others chatted about their coming pleasures. There was st ill plenty of t i me; he need not hurry.
The party was made up of the Denver members of the Bankers' Association They had left a ll care a n d b u siness wor r y at home in their offices with their clerks and sub -officials. They were off to the St. Louis Fai r for a thorough-going good time. Of co u rse, as they were going to the Exposit i on, they all carried well -fi ll ed purses, and here and there a diamond shirt stud shed its radiant beauty. Mr. Hanford smiled up his s-l eeve as he thought of all this and saw various elegant timep i eces pulled out for use and care l ess ly thrust baclc in their respective pockets. He thought of the country they wou l d pass through shortly after the evening shadows begin the ir earthward desce!lt for he had heen over that road before. He appeared to be in a somnolent c tate, yet his m i nd was working more actively tlian that of any other man in the car.- · He listeneci now as Redmond aga i n aired his sentiments on highway robbery.
"I say it's a shame," ciedared that individual , bringing his hand down so fo1:cefu ll y on the back of his eeat that he had to stop and say "Ouch!" before continuing, "Yes, sir, it's a burning shaine th1t such fellows are allowed to exist. Now i f' eve ry patriotic, true-hearted citizen would only help , it wouldn't be long before such a thing as a robber would be unknown. For He • \Y:Js cnt short l)y the gentleman opposite who l aughed and remarked :

Hanford yawn e d very audibly, and said that he guessed he'd go out on the platform and stretch himself a bit. He staggered down the aisle as the train swung sharply round a curve and brought them out upon the broad, rolling prairies of central Nebraska.
But Hanford did not stop long on the platform. He passed on into the dining car and proceeded to interview the negro porter, Joe, whose eyes protrutled in such a manner as to cause serious wonder as to whether or not they could be easily knocked off. But when Hanford had shaken hands with him and Joe felt the substantial round piece in his palm, many of his scruples vanished and his mouth extended Into a grin which seemed to divide his face into two black hemispheres, parted by two shining rows of Ivory.
Hanford was well satisfied with this mark of approval, and they plotted and planned together until rJl was in readiness.
Dusk was gathering and the train still sped on through th e coming darlmess. A huge purple bank, growing more and mure indistinct, was all til at was left of . the glorious sunset. And what is as beautiful as a Nebraska autumnal suns e t? Th e full moon rose in all her majesty and shed a s ilvery light over all. Aside from this no light could be seen on all that vast prairie but the one fil:'rce glow of the engine's piercing eye and the lights shining from the car windows.
Suddenly an exclamation of horror escaped the lips of one of the bankers, causing the others to look quickly in his direction and then to follow his horror-stricken gaze to the forward end of the coach. There, standing motionless, was a
HALLETT,
fi g ur e which imm e diat e ly turn e d the laughter on t heir lips to expr e ssions of fear.
In the doorway was a masked man, covering the inma tE s of the car with a brace of pistols held in steady hands. The newcomer commanded them to cc m e forward one at a time and bestow all or t he ir valu a bles In a satchel which he placed a f e w paces in front of him.
Of all amazing things it was most amazing to see Mr. Stanley Redmond, first of a ll , walk toward the little satchel, shakin g as though he had se en the ghos t of his grandfath e r standing before him and tr e mblingly working with his watch -fob, e nde a voring to unfasten it and at the .same time ke e p his ey e s on the awful being confronting !Jim. Redmond along with th e oth e rs, piled out everything of valu e in his possession and then backed into the farthest corner of the car where the first on e s huddl e d while the next unfortunates made their sacrifices.
Wh e n the last one had bow e d down and made his little offering with the utmost humility, the wicked train-robber , still covering the cowering men with one revolver, stoped and picked up tile satch e l, which was p l easantly heavy, backed out of the car and closed the door carefully after him. The startled bankers saw him enter the car ahead. That was th e dining car and he would certainly mal\ e a g ood raise there on th e company's silverware.
Of all the humiliated men in the group none was hal! so much so as ' Redmond. Now that the danger bad passed he remembered his boasts of his fighting spirit. And to think that Hanford should see--but, by the way, where was Hanford? Oh, yes, be bad gone into the forward car. We ll , he thought grimly, Hanford would have to hand over his belongings too, but he really was glad that Hanford bad not been there to see his humiliation.
Soon Hanford came sauntering into the car.
" Well, g entlement," he remarked as he pulled his trouser pocl, ets wrong side out, "I see that you also have b e en relieved of a little surplus w e alth. Of course it will inconvenience us slightly at the F a ir, but- " he turn e d suddenly to Redmond, "Where is our brave gentleman who intended to show fight? Did be also meekly enrich our friend of the road?" He smiled as he said this, a slow smile in which sarcasm and amusement were generously mixed.
Redmond tried to assume an attitude of insulted dignity but only succeeded in making hims e lr more ridiculous. Hanford said no more, but

HANFORD'S LITTLE JOKE
(Uorai rruetl f'r om pagf' :1) again took up his paper. A g loo my silence reigned before had been ouly mirth and gcod fellowship.
Redmond broke the monotony-"! suppose you fellows think I'm a cad, but really, you know, it's not nearly so 'easy to do as to know what 'twere best to do.' I really thought I did have a little nerve, but those revolvers comp letely wilted me."
"Shake on that, old man," Hanford rose from his seat as did the other, and they fervently clasped hands on birth of a new friendship which was to continue to the end.
IIanfc rd then departed and soon returned carrying a small b ro wn satchel. All eyes were glued upon this, but Hanford he ld it unopened while f1 O:!l his pockEts he drew a black mask and a brace of r evo l vers. As the bankers viewed these an unders tanding dawned upon them. This, then, was the cause of their discomfiture. As one man they hurled themse lves on him, all trying to grasp his hand in fervent thanksgiving . Those who could not reach Hanford embraced each other in their. joy; these men who had fondly that they were beyond such manifestation of emotion. They h ad been able to bear up under their Joss, but the unexepected joy of regaining it was fO ovErwhelming that they completely lost the · power of r estraining themselves.
!\"hen he cquld at l_ast be heard, Hanford told them how he had thought of the joke during the · conversation on robbers.
"And now, gentlemen, I take pleasure in restoring to yo u the gifts which you so generously bestowed on me."
As the city of St. Louis and its beautiful white exposition buildings came in view, Redmond ' grasped Hanfo rd's hand and said:
"Hanford, you've brought me to my sen ses; I'll not forget the l esson soon."
As the train drew into the great station, a prosperous looking party of gentlemen stepped from their private car, many with diamond sh ir t studs gracing their proud bosoms. No one would h ave imagined from the amount of wealth displayed in their jewelery and the l avish way in which they bestowed tips, that the Denver members of the Banl<ers' Association had been held up and robbed in the most heartless fashion on their way to St. Louis B. W., '06.

A RUMOR
It is rumored that Miss Heilman, ex-state champion on roller skates, will challenge Miss Mabel Abbers, who now holds the state championship, for a race before the rink closes for this season Don't forget that the rink will clos e on May 4. The past season has been one of gr eat success. The skating has furnished both exercise and pleasure for a large number of High School students. Its early close will no doubt be r e gretted by many. All patrons of the rink will do well to Impr ove their last opportunity.

TME ADVOCATE
She was behind the coffee-urn-he was beh ind the n ewspape r; the breakfast table was betwee-n them. Her hand was a lr eady on the handle of the urn, preparato ry to pouring the steaming beverage; but she hesitated a moment and loo ked up. Again, however, her eyes encountered only the formidable barrier of the Morning Star. Then she coughed loudly, but the paper clicl not move an inch. Of course she did not notice that it was upside clown, and consequently could not lmow that beh ind i ts protection her husband's head was turned toward the window with a se lfconsc i ous air. So she picked up the urn with a jerk, and then rude l y shoved the full cup half way across the tab l e and let it remain the r e.
It was certainly becoming un bearable, she tl10ught to herself. Things had been going on in this fashion for over a month-and all because of Rosetta Maria. It wasn't her fault t)1at that tyrant of the k i tchen would not cook things •·ight, and persisted besides in sticking closer than a brother. She had discharged her at least a dozen times a lr eady, but every succeed in g morning fognd Rosetta Maria's two hundred and fifty pounds avo i rd upoi s e nsconced on her stool in the kitchen.
Certainly, thought Margaret, if she had known that Jim was going to be such a bear she would never-but at the thought of what that "never" meant she involuntarily look e d up. This time s h e met a pair of grey eyes peering around the side of the newspaper, but they immediately dropped to the coffee cup, and after he had unconsciously deposited four lumps in the contents, Jim onc e more r etired into oblivion and the rv.Torning Star This was the last straw.
"Jim, if you can't wai t u n til you get to the 9ffice to read that paper I wish you would a r ise all ho ur earlier and finish it before breakfast. "
"Beg pardon," innoc e ntl y inquired J i m, lower· in g one-half of his barricade.
"You know what I sa id as well as I clo!" snapped his w ife
"My dear Margaret; you set!m to be a little ou t of h umor this morn in g, won't you try of the coffee? ·It may make yo u fee l better." And as if to sel a good example Jim sti rr ed Lwo more Jum ps of sugar in his own cup, and took a sip Then he rose solemn l y, 7ook the cup to the window, and slowly poured tne t:outents out
"I hope it didn't fa ll on a n y of your posies, Margaret," he said sarcastically, "it's strong enough to intoxica te a hors e."
"I wish it were s t rong enough to. get riel of Rosetta Maria," answered his wife with a sigh.
"No such lucie She'll help make my shroud I know," and Jim r es umed his seat and impatiently dr u mmed his fingers on the table for breakfast to appear. It was one of Rosetta Maria's characteristics that she served the meals on the "strangest installment plan ever invented by man," as Jim put it. "No one but old R. M. co uld h ave thought of it," he declared. After summon in g them to dinner it might be half an hour befo r e she again put in a n appearance, and they n eve r knew what part of t h e meal they would see first. This time the coffee was aheadand the rest deciclecJiy behind.
Margaret was about to c a ll the delinquent when a chance sight of h e r coff ee cup brought something else to h er mind. Sh e was secret ly pleased that Jim h'ad again become more jovial, but perhaps she did not wish him to see that she was p l eased; anyway, she said:
" Jim, you r uined that coffee yourself; you put six l umps of sugar in . I k n ow yo u did, ror I cou n ted. T h at's a nice way to do-put six lumps in on e cu p an d tMm bl ame the cook!"

THE ADVOCATE
Jim was irate . "Me? Me put six lumps of sugar in a cup of coffee? Maybe you think I'm a lunatic. Perhaps you expect me to believe all the things y'ou say about me:" and he actually snorted.
Margaret had regretted her words in a moment; and at this additional example of the unreasonableness of man, she buried her face in her h.nds almost in tears.
Tears always unmanned Jim, and he feigned ignorance. "Rose!" he called, turning his face ill the direction of the kitchen door . " Rose!" There was no answer. "Rose! "
Margaret looked up now. "You've got to say it all, Jim, dear," and she giggled hys te rically. Jim s igh ed r es i g n ed ly. "Roset-ta Ma-ri-a!" h e called, pronouncing each syllable separately. Immediately a fat round black face, framed in ponderous fo l ds of purple turban, appeared through the swinging door.
"Rosetta Maria, I don't know how you gene rally do, but Mrs. Ford and myself are accustomed to having our breakfast served within three quarters of an hour after we drink our coffee-or dispose of it otherwise" he added aside.
" Now I want some ham and eggs on this table inside of three minutes. "
"Yes Massa," replied the negress me e kly "And remember that I want my eggs very h ard."
"Yes Massa " "No w do y ou understand?-in three minutes , and my eggs hard! "
" Yes Mass," and the door swung to. " ow," said Jim, with a superior air, "you see bow easy it is to manage her if you only use judgment You could get along with her all right if you only would. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll take foxy R. M. under my jurisdiction for a day, and if I hav e n 't either reformed her o:- discharg e d her by tomorrow morning you may have that new hat. Is it a go?"
"Yes," answered his wife, her eyes dancing with mischief. "But, ob, Jim, hard eggs in three minutes! How long do you think it talres to poach eggs?" And she laughed outright.
But Jim was occupied with his watch . "Twothirty, two-forty-five, two-fifty-why, here she is already!" And he looked triumphantly across at his wife But she presented a very innocent countenance, though her eyes danced with f u n as Rosetta Maria so l emn ly p l aced the dishes on the tab l e and l eft the room. Visions of a beautiful green hat were flitting thro u gh her head.
How well it wou l d match her new gown! And everyone said she looked simplyJim int e rrupted her severely: "Now, perhaps , you will own that she obeyed me," he said. "You see you have to adopt a commanding air with these people;" he picked up his fork and cut the ''white part" from around his egg. "If you work it right all you have to say is, "I want a hard egg," and you get-" He stopped openmouthed, for his plate had suddenly assumed the aspect of a miniature lake of brilliant yellow hue. Margaret giggled--she absolutely could not help it
" That blasted cook hasn't bad that egg any place hotter than the refrigerator! " he growled savagely. "I'm going to discharge her at once!" And he started for the· door .
" Oh, Jim, not yet!" gasped Margaret, alarm geting the better of her mirth "M rs. iSnes is coming over for dinner, and I'll have to have Rosetta Maria here."
"You wont hav e anything fit to eat anyhow; I don't see wbat you want her to stay for," growled her better half.
" Well, I can make some excuse-or-orsomething. I couldn't manage alone." And Margaret rubbed her brow perplexedly.
" I'll get some one else and send her up, " answered Jim, as if that settled the difficulty.
" You can't. It will talre ages to engage another cook. You know we were two weeks finding 'R. M.' as you call her maybe she'll reform by evening anyhow," she added hopefully.
"Refo rm! Yes, maybe we'll find the north pole in our back yard maybe we'll come to an inheritance! Maybe-" his wrath was too great for further words.
"Well, I can't help it! " Margaret answered hotly
" Well, I'm getting tired of this thing; this idea of domestic bliss don't appeal to me-l know my mother never bad so much trouble with her servants. I don't-"
He stopped, for Margaret's eyes bad become bard, and a spot of red burned brightly in either cheek. Jim had never said anything so cruel to her before ; it was unjust to say the least; she turned abruptly and left the room.
Her husband stared wrathfully at the door which banged behind her, as if it were to blame. Then he said slow ly and impressively: "Damn that cook!" Having re li eved his feelings somewhat he turned and strode through the hall, snatching h i s hat from its hook as he went; and

The cuclrco had appeared ou : side the big walnut clock in the dining room, and had ca ll ed five ti;nes in clear silvery tone3 The door opened and Margaret entered. As she passed the table she stopped to rearrange the roses which w e re cra::nmed ru :hlm:sly in the cut- glass bowl. Then sile opened the kitchen door. It rev ea led to her the back view of a fat figure on the other side of the room in a green-checked dress and purple turi1an.
'"Rose!" she called , and realized her forgetfulthe same moment. "Rosetta Maria!" The figure turned stolidly. "Mum?"
"My guest can not come, Rosetta Maria; have you rade the sherbet yet?"
1 '1'To, mum."
"We ll , then, we'll just have berries for dessert; and yo u haven't fixed the roast lamb yet, have you?"
"No, mum .•· repea te d R. M. with an unchanged countenance.
"Well , then, we'll just have steak tonight The Ia -:1 will keep till tomorrow, won't it? Mrs. Sines may come then." And poor Margaret l ooJ.:ed helplessly at the unsympathetic face.
"No, mum; dis yere niggah is a gwine to cook de Iamb 'n de sherbet jes like she had 'lowed to. We kain't change de minnew dis late. o, mum, we'll have de lamb and de sherbet dis yere night," and she turned to her work.
Margaret stared dumfounded. She couldn't quite comprehend for a moment that Rosetta Maria had flatly refused to obey her. She had had trouble before-but never anything to equal this. Of course her servant had no right to talk to her that way, why the very idea! But-what should she do? She had a vague idea that she ought to discharge her-or something-but how? "1 haven't any idea what to say to the horrid old thing." She thought to herself. I wonder, what would mother do?. She looked desperately at the fat figure, and then fled through the door with a d r y sob.
"I wish I cou l d just drop the wh ol e t h ing- I

OUR PIAN O
There is no t hin g the school is so proud of as of its LEautiful Grand p:ano, the bigaest and best in the· city af Lincoln. It is the pride of our hearts. lt is not yet wholly ours. There is a note clue upon it in June which we must pay. Our High School Opera, is given expressly for the purpose of paying that note. The whole school should pay its share of that debt and feel its share of ownership in the piano by advertising the opera well, selling as many tickets as possible, and coming to see a bright, wholesome comic opera. The ch01·us and tile soloists, M r Miller, Mr. Seamark, and the committee, are doing their full duty toward it. Every loyal pup il should do his. To you, the student body, depends the payment of that piano debt.

When they consider however, that an ideal govern · ment, (whe r e everyone ac t s correctly from a suffi· ciently high conception of his relations with o t hers) is impracticab l e among so large a number, they can not b u t see the propriety of ar· rang i ng some sort of student control.
Beyond that of guiding our conduct and pro· viding a means of protect ing our rights, the school organization will benefit us in other ways. It will enab l e us to act in business affairs the same as the various classes and societies now do. It will perm i t us to focus the entire strength of our schoo l for the purpose of securing any important need, such, for examp l e, as that of a new bui1ding next fal l. And lastly, it will throw us upon our own resources, make us participants in a real government, cause us to realize both the privileges and limitations of society, and give us, in addition to our reg ul ar high school course, a training in citizenship that will be of lasting benefit.

The attendance at the Sophomore class meetings has been exceedingly small for the last few weeks It is especially hard just now to keep up the class without a· good representation of its members. There are important measures to be acted upon and each member should make It a
point to be. at the meetings if only twice a month.
The marshals elected for chapel are as fol· lows: Harry Stults, Grace Salisbury, Kimmel. Ralph Wilson, Earl White, Stanfield Wells. They are to meet very soon this week to decide upon their j)Ositions in chapel.
A short program was given including an excel(ent class prophecy by Nettie Holcomb, and a s t ory read by Grace Kimmel.
." April 28th, at a short class meeting it was deciaed to accept the suggestions of the general council and e lect cage monitors, and out-door guards. A committee was appointed to for a candy or pie auction. Another committee was selected to send flowers to Stanfield Wells, who has been ill the l ast few weeks with typhoid f e ver. The program committee has a hard time gE:tting up programs. Everyone wants one, but no one wants to help. When a member comes to you for help, give it; otherwise don ' t complain.
Next Friday we meet in room 33 as usual. At least 80 membet:s of our class should be there.

After the adjournment of the Debating Association the gir ls of the Debating society he l d the ir regular meeting in room 304. The debate showed exceedingly good and careful preparation. Resolved, "That the negro should be disfranchised."
The society is very much enco u raged and delighted with the real manner in which our new members are picking up work and profiting by it.
Three of the debaters this time were debating for their first time and .the results were remarkable.
A QUARREL OF THE CHEMICALS.
"The sodium and chlorine were left by mi"Stake, Side by side, without thought of the fuss they might make.
The latter, a member on quarreling bent, In the seeking of trouble was al'W'ays intent.
So the chlorine, as usual, began the d'ispute, And • the metal prepared the attack to refute, 'Of what use are you to the world, tell me, pray, Lying there ' in stupidity day after day?'
'Of as much use as you are in rushing about To discomilort of everyone in aoors and out.
It's yet to my credit that I keep my place, And< what's more in my favor, have not the disgrace
Of a sharp, nasty temper, so hateful to own, That every one lets you severely alone.'
The chlorine by this time becoming quite heated, And perceiving it soon would be quickly defeated, Could no longer its fiery temper contain, Nor from striking the sodium long.er refrain.
A quick rising ll'P·, a dart, and a dash!
As one touched• the other, a hiss, and· a flash!
When behold, there lay on the very same spot
Where the previous conflict was recently fought,
A peace ful white powd•er, in which is no fault, Its misson is usefulness,-our common salt.''-Ex.
"0 peerless one," he said' to her, "Without thee give me death; You are my very breath of life," Ancll then he held his breath. -Ex.
Sergeant Bro:wn-"Halt! You can't go in there."
Private Murphy-"W•hy not, sor?"
Sergeant Brown-"Because it's the general's tent.
Private Mur,phy-" T he n , bedad, what they doing with 'private• over the doo!'I?"-Ex.

THE RAINY DAY
The rain comes down from the cold gray sky, And the w ind shakes the trees with a sobbing cry.
"Weep, weep! for the sun doth li e in his shroud of cloud, About to die-to die!"
Come forth, 0 Sun, from yo u r curtain gray, For the hours a r e dark and dreary; It has r ai n ed and rained the liv e-long day, . And my heart is s ick and weary.
Come forth, 0 Sun, and a token give That still you live, that still you liv e; 0, chase t h e clouds f r om my· heart away, And g iv e us again a sunshiny day!

Qur building accommodations are at best rather poor, but it seems they might be somewhat improved if a few awnings were attached to the west windows. The afternoon sun often becomes so hot as to make the rooms having these windows, a l most suffocating. Shades, the only protection from the sun's rays, can not be lowered on account of shutting out what little draft of air there may be and darkening the room too much. Teachers who occupy these rooms find it very hard to carry on their work during this portion of the day and under existing conditions it is unfair to ask them to do so. Why can't the board of education give the matter a little atte n tion?
There was a much larger number of contestants among the Senior girls for the medal given by the Deborah Avery Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution this year than formerly. The subject ot the paper was "The Treason of Benedict . Ar· nold," and some papers of superior excellence were produced. Those who entered the contest were: Gertrude Kincaide, Fanchon Hooper, Ada Herpolsheimer, Winifred Miller, Pearl Miller, Kate Dunkle, Jessie Beall, Ethel Eddy, Elva C. Sjogren , Neva Hibner, Marian Holcomb, Edith Mickey, Vera Borgen, Kate Pierce, Louise Hoover, Ruth Easterday. This is an excellent showing for the Lincoln High School and for the Senior class.

LINCOLN WINS FIRST AT DES MOINES
The High School track team left last Friday 1ncrn i ng at five-thirty, over the Bmlington, for Des Moines. where the sixth annual Missouri Vall ey in terscho lastic athletic meet was held.
The meet, although smaller in point of entries than former meets, nevertheless proved to be the f;1steEl meet yet held.
The team with the coach and Mr. Morrill arrived in Des Moines at twelve-twenty-five, and imn1e diately went to the Savery. Tbe team loung ed until four o'clock when the boys were take n out tc: the fair grounds for a warming up.
The meet was started sharply at one o'clock Sat· m day with probably one thousand people in atte-ndance. The first event, the pole vault, was
Kensington
called for and at the same time the high hurdles. Ellis Harrison, by an oversight in making out the entry blanks in Lincoln, was not entered in the pole vault and could not therefore enter the event. he would undoubtedly have done cred i tab l e worl, if he bad competed. The entries for the high hurdl e s were few enough to abandon the trial:; and only one heat , the final, was run, in which Shepperd of East High Des Moines won, breaking the old r eco rd of 02 and setting the new at 16:03. Rathbone ran a good race in these and managed to land a second out of the nine entries.
The h und"red was won by West High in 10: OJ . winters being pu ll ed off the mark, was handicapped by a yard back-set which he was not quite able to overcome before reaching the tape Sage lead off in the mile with a string of about thirty following. The first half soon told of the real contestants, as the greater part of the runners were then lagging. In the race for the tape E. and R. Andrews were together, with O'Connor third, all ol' East High, and Lewis of Lincoln push in g O'Connor for third place to the limit.
In the half mile, Hess, altho ugh running a good r"e;e and taking a lead of thirty yards was unable to keep ahead of the two Andrews and O'Connor of East High, the two former equalling the Missouri \'alley record.
The low hurdles were won by Sh ep perd of East. High in the record-breaking time of 26: 03 with Stm·er of West High second, and McDonald of York third.
The two-twenty was won by Winters in 23 flat. with Gates of North High second and Wildman oi' York th ird.
In the shot-put Curtis Collins won with a put of 42 feet 7 inches. Somerhalder secured second and a man f rom Effingham th.ird.
Tn the hammer-throw Sidney Collins brok e the M. Y. L A. A. record with a throw or 137 feet 7 inches. Sommerhal cler took second in this.
In the discus throw Sommerhalder took first by a throw of 103 feet 4 inches, with Cmtis Collins seco nd.
In the quarter mile Winters gathered up and established a new M. V. I. A. A. rllcord that will probably stand for some time. He clipped fourfifths off the former record, which was equalled by Minor l ast spring, lea ving it stand at 51:03. Gates of No r th division High took second with McDonald of York third.

L a s t \ Ve::lnesday the Girls' Debating society had
e n t heir progra m probably the most difficult subj e c t to 'handle they have had this year: Resolved, Tha t the labor unions are beneficial to the United States. Affirmative, Dorothy Harris, Jessie Ran· d <:t ll, Hel e n Lev y Negative, Daisy Green, Mao
L c: so rhe g en e ral discussion after the spealHlrS 'had finis h ed showed more spirit than has been sho wn heretofore. Last fall the greatest fault in thi s society was the decided Jack of self-con:fidence but our last few debates show a surpris3n g progr e ss along that line. Self-confidence is the f ound a tion of g ood debating. Fluency of s p eec h is i m possibl e without it. Arrangement of n: a t eri a l a nd t echnical points are subordinate to it. As a society we feel we have this idea well in hand and expec t now to Jay more stress on <ether points-form-deliver y , etc. Hereafter S)J eakers will b e given but five minutes each and mus t consequ e ntly condense their material.

THE Hawthornes held thQir regular meeting Thursday. Elsie FitzG e rald gave a very interesting tall;: about Vienna.
Saturday afternoon the Senior H a wthornes entertained the Senior Brownings , a nd sponsors of both societi e s, at a mock weeding held at the home of Louise Hoover. The ceremony was followed by a wedding supper. The tables were d e corated with yellow roses and candles. The place cards , the work of Hazel VanDenberg, wer e dainty water-color heads.
( 0 L D R. M. l I (CONCLUDED ) J
" Wa1l now, I'd like tu know ez tu who's been me ddlin' w i d dem dar posies?" she demanded.
"Jes' look a t 'err:-a stickin' every which-way The tl'l s t e some J)eople has!'' Her tone expressed the d e epest disgust, as she jerked the roses from the bowl, scattering drops all over the table. With great precision she put all the heads evenly together, and then thrust the bunch as far down in the bowl as the stems would permit. Then with a last glance around the room she returned to the kitchen.
In a moment Jim and Margaret entered and
seated themselves at the table. They gazed so le m nly around the room awhile, then plainly grew uneasy. Mar g aret sipped her glass of water again a nd again, while her husband toyed with his fork. Finally he burst OJlt-
" Dicln ' t the dinner bell ring? "
"I think so."
"Then what in Sam Patch is R. M. doing with the stuff? Is she eating it herself? Hadn't the butcher done his job yet?" And he glared at the k itchen door wrathfully.
"You can't expect Rosetta Maria to do everything right when she's the only servant," answered Margaret cuttingly.
"Onl y servant! Yes, thank the Lord, if we had one more like her I'd have got a divorce a month ago."
There was silence again, then Jim made anoth e r attempt to start a conversation.
"Didn ' t you say that Mrs. Sines was to dine with us?"
"She couldn't come. " The answer was so curt that Jim subsided for a time. Then he volunteered cautiously:
"Did you t e ll her how to salt the soup , Margaret? Did you warn her of the extravagance of using more than two or three sacll:s to the dish?" and he made a wry face at the remembrance of a too-well seasoned past
" Yes, I took the right amount in the hollow of my hand, and showed her all about. it. I think she'll-"
"Sh! Here she comes, " and in marched Rosetta Maria, resplendent in a white apron and b Ei aring aloft a tray of steaming soup
" Do hurry and divy up Margaret, " said Jim with forced jovialty, as soon as the waddling figure was out of hearing . "I'm hungry enough to eat old R. M herself."
Margaret fi ll ed his dish and helped herself to a less generous amount. They took the first spoonful at the same time-and dropped them at the same time.
"Thunderation)"
"Rosetta Maria!" Margaret was standing, h er eyes actually flashing, and her pretty brow co ntTacted. "Rosetta Maria!" she called again before the ill-fated cook could possibly have made her appearance.
" Mum'?" and a violet-hued turban was thrust through the door.
THE ADVOCATE
"Rosetta Maria, how much salt did you put in the soup?" demanded Margaret, trying to look very stern.
"A handful, mum," answered Rosetta Marta, confidently, "a handful, just like you told me, mum." And by way of illustration she spread out her huge palm before her .
The situation was too ludicrous-they both laughed in spite of themselves
"Take the soup away at once," and Margaret seated herself once more.
"Well, Margaret, I'll give her one more chance," said Jim, when the second course had been placed before him. " If this meat is fit to eat we'll let her stay. Her innocence is so sublime that I can't be too hard on her, " he added in explana· tion.
"Innocence! You'd think she was innocent if you had heard her flatly refuse to-"
An exclamation from her husband silenced her.
"What the dickens is this made of-rubber?" he was cutting and sawing and slashing without making any appreciable impression on the meat.
"Perhaps it is a bone, dear," Margaret was sympathetic in spite of herself, and started around the table to help him.
"Bone nothing! " growled Jim. "It's R. M.deuce take her-that's what it is. I'll get a ten she ' s boiled one of her old shoes and is trying ' to pass it off on us. "
After a great deal of muscular exertion he finally succeeded in depositing a rather forlorn looking piece on Margaret ' s plate. " Looks like it had been mixed up in a beef trust, " he observed sarcastically.
Each made a pitiful pretence of nibbling at it, but each managed to see that the other's dinner consisted mainly of potatoes and salad, neither touched the gravy and Margaret didn ' t even dish t he green p e as.
"Margaret. "
"Jim."
"I don ' t believe I care for any " I don't think I do either, Jim."
They rose-- and then paused awkwardly a moment
" Go on in the drawing room, Margaret- I'll be there in five minutes. " .
Without a word his wife went through the door he held open for her; then Jim turned and walked up to the kitchen door-and stopped "I wonder what they say when they discharge cooks?" H e wonderingly inquired of himself, in· dustriously scratching his head in a vain search
for ideas. " Let me see-'Rosetta Maria, I am surry to say that you don't quite suit my wife; you-you- ' " and Jim floundered helplessly. Sud· denly he drew himself together. "I'll trust to inspira t ion," he declared and boldly pushed open the kitchen door and entered the empire of Rosetta. Maria. At present that dignitary was industriously stirring something in a pan. Seated on the floor against the green-checked skirt wae a white cat. Somehow Jim spotted that cat as his friend at ·once-perhaps if for not other cause than that by very reason of color it afforded such a contrast to its mistress.
The latter took no notice whatever of her caller. H e shuffled his feet and coughed, but she volun· tl'er e d no response. The master of the house moistened his lips several times, and finally · struck out-"Rose"- and then stopped with a vague id e a that the name wanted both a prefix and a suffix. His effort was not without result , however, for the addressed dropped her spoon long enough to turn around and remark with a great deal of dignity:
"Sah-me name's Rosetta Maria! Rosetta after me blessed mother, and Maria after a cousin-inlaw on me fawther's side ob de fambly!" and she returned to her task.
"Oh, I beg pardon, Rosetta Maria, to be suret·.> be sure; well Rosetta Maria, I thought-! believe-that is- what are you stirring?" He asked tte question desperately
"Daffodil sponge cake, from a receet of my aun t 's , Marthy Washington! "
"Ob!" Not feeling adequate to dis<;uss the merits of "Daffodil sponge cake," Jim turned to the cat.
"Nice cat you have there-kitty; kitty?" The cat did not move, only looked solemnly at him. With the bright thought that a good way to R. M.'s heart might be through her cat, be continued his advances. "Kitty, kitty," and stooped suddenly to caress the animal - and as suddenly the cat sprang snarling on the open window sill, her tail increased several timse in size , and she spit and glared and exhibited other signs of feline ange r , and finally disappeared on the other side of th e window.
Poor Jim felt as if his last friend had left, but the cook wasn't discharged . yet. Suddenly another idea struck him
"Ros-e t t a Maria, did you have references when we engaged you?"
The cook dropped her spoon and repeated meditatively-"References? No, I didn't never have

'em, as I rekamember. I've had smallpox and the itch though. My! Is Mis' Ford ailin'? If it ' s smallpox or the itch, or suffin' what a in't cotchin' I'll nu ss her; but if it references-I'm gwine ter and she rose determinedly and set . the pan emphatically on the table.
Jim saw the straw and grasped it . " Yts Ro- sEOtta Ma ria, I a m afraid she is very ill, and it cer t ainl y does look like 'refe rences.' I hate to ha ve you go, but of course I couldn ' t ask you to expose yourself Here is your wag e s. "
Rosetta Mar ia put the money in the pocket of h e r dress, her apron and carefully smoothed out the creases. She took down her red shawl f rom behind the door, and pinned It on whilo Jim waited.
"Where shall I send your things?"
"T o .my cousin ' s, George Washington Andrew Jackson Smith," answered the woman with much dignity, "47 The Row."
"Certa inly; good -bye." Jim waited until the door had actually c l osed behind her and he had locked it; then he almost ran to the drawing room.
"G one!" he cried. "Congratulate me!"
The word " gone" brought a feeling of such re· lief to Margaret that she forgot in a minute the cruer words he had spoken, and in a minute she was laughing heartily over her supposed attack of the "references "
"Po or o l d R. M., I almost like her since she'» gone."
"A nd I don't care if we starve!" declared Jim. "The trouble and salt have gone together." They · both laughed-and laughed again from sheer joy because the recent barr ie rs between them were gone. "And you'll get your new bonnet just the same, Margaret," he added, in a burst of gener· csity. " Now won 't you sing for me? 'C ould I,' please, and that new song of MacDowell's I. brought up a month ago."
Margaret seated herself at the piano, and with her husband leaning against the ins trume nt sang, iu a sweet contralto one after another of his favo rite s
" Now just one more- 'Du Bist Wie Em e Blume'" he begged, and started to find the music for her when a peal of the bell brought them both to their feet .
"It's the back door; that bell always rings as i f had the consumption."
"T he back door-oh, Margaret! I won't go!" and Jim t urned a look of blank dismay on his
wife.
Another mere r:ng and Ma rgaret r-ave htr h usb and a push.
" I sup p cEe I m i ght as well come , to it!" he [. r ca n ed, and hurr ie d through the house to the l; ;tchen dee r. E:e opened i t and a short fat figure wadd l e [!. in.
" R. m.," groaned Jim.
"Yes, Ford , I's e come back," and she beamej confidently on t he unhappy r::t an. " You Eee when I got to my cousin ' s I asked Marthy Ja ne-t ha t ·s his wi fe, and a l azy nigga h she i:;-I ::: s ·;.e d her, and she ' l owed as the refer e nces wu z 'tout the same as v e ryloid, and didn ' t think as I'd cotch it. So I've come bacl; to nuss her, Marse Fore!."
Poor Jim felt as if the earth hac! given way b eneath him; w ith his hands moving gropingly behind him he backed up against the wall for suppor t and gazed almost imploringly at the woman.
" Yes," he said wea ldy, "yo u 've come bacl•, J won't deny that."
Then the more alarming situation s t ruck him
"You needn't go to her now ,'' he said hurriedl y, as she opened the back stair door "She seems some better, she-she-is asleep. I don't think she'd better be disturbed I'll send if she need s anything."
R. M. turned. "N o, I reckon as she hadn't ort er be 'sturbed. I'll just get to stirrin' my batter , and go up arter while." And she rolled up her sleeves.
"Ye gods," thought Jim, "is there nothing on tliis green earth t hat can demagnetize her? 1'\ e a notion to try ra t poison." He glanced steaithil y at her. She had turned her baql' on him and w as "stirrin' her batter " She loo ked so big and solid, so much in her plac e, that Jim g a ve way to the inevitab l e without another scruggle, and h ur ried back to the drawing room.
l'.'l:argaret l ooked inquiring ly at alar m ed as he sank weakly on: the davenport. "W hy, Ji m, dear, what is it?"
"It's R. M ., he groaned, "She's back What will we do?"
"Why," she answered gayly, "just at present I'm going to sing 'Die Bist Wie Eine Blume,' I've f<'und the music."
She received the shock with such un exp ect ed cheerfulness that in spite of himself Jim felt mor e hopeful.
The song was finished and Jim was scattering the music a ll over the floor in search of another
wi1en heavy s hu ffli n g f oo tsteps were hearJ in th e rco'Tl ad:ojning. For once Jim's wits to the occasion; he darted into the ha ll and leek the stairs three at a ti:ne and before t h e fro ts: ers had reached the door Margaret found b n::: eJ; ensconced in the N orris chair wit h a bed(' :.Jii wrappe:i atout h e r in very uncomfortab l e fcL: s. w a s b y her, tenderly adjustin g the cush!cns w h en Roseaa Maria entered with a Lcwl of steaming something.
"Laws, i:J.oney, be yon's feelin' spry enough fer t· coir:e ctown stairs? I was jest taldn' a bowl · of bro t h up t ' yer-after a receet o' mah mother's An' I "low e d as I'd t etter ax Marse Ford as mebbe yo u 'd b e sl e epin', so I co n: e dis yere way. Now you ' l l ea t i t , won't you honey? If references is l i1-:e the Ye ryloid it won't hurt you a m i te-jes m ak e ycu fee l bett er, an' Marthy Jane says as it
She had placed the soup on the arm of Marr e t ' s c h air, with a plate of wafers beside it; t hE n s he c a re f ully spread a naplcln on the cumbers ome folds of the bedquilt which all but eclipsed her mistress. She stood off to view her work, and resumed doubtfully, "I ain't so sure as you'd orter bl. up, after you've et up all that soup I 'low as you'd better go right to bed. Now go ahead and help yourself, if you want anything jest call me rm gwine ter set up all night."
She waddled to the door, then turned and beckoned mysteriously to Jim. He followed her obediently, and when safely in the next room she turned toward him and inquired in a stage whisper, "An' what did the doctor say, Marse Ford? Does he ' low as it's dangerous or not?"
Jim wa!? becoming so accustomed to lying to her that the words came quick l y:
"No, he says it isn't at all dangerous; with a little proper care he thinks she'll be up in a day or two, as well as ever."
"Wall now, I'm glad A little proper care, did he say? Wall ef she don't get it my name's not Rosetta Maria! "
Jim didn't undertake to deny the last fact, but made his way back to Margaret.
She had cautious ly emerged as much as she dared from her bedquilt, and was partaking of the wup in a manner a l together too hasty for an invalid.
"Oh Jim! It's just glorious! Just taste!" and £he held out a full spoon
Jim took it with a great show of doubt as to the consequences, but when he had tasted it he !>!!l ack e d his lips.
"Goll y ! " he said expressively, if not elegantly. ··r wonder if she ' s got some more of that variety out th e r e ?" And as h e started kitchenward he r. aid: " Old R. M isn't so bad after all. " N. W., '05.

II A WE.STERN GIRL ll _
Jack and Minta were the only children of Mr. McCall, the richest cattle owner in Montana . Their mother died when they were very small and they had grown up, centering all their affectio'l upon their father and upon one another.
The brother and sister were the dearest friends and closest companions Where Jack went Minta accomvanied him, and where ,Minta went Jack was by. her side. . .
Growing up on the ranch and seeing nothing of any' otber life, knowing nothing of o!her, gir lsfor was the only on the ranchshe w&.S ' indeed very little like ,the girls .:we . kn9w. She rode the range with her brother and tea other cowboys tbe year round She could handle a gun better than any tman , on the place. She could treak a branch when all the boys had given it up as "hopeless" and she could rope· the wildest cattle.
It was late in the fall this year when they came in from the round up, she and Jack both tj!"ed cut with three long weary months in the saddle Their father greeted them in a grave, thoughtful way, so different from his customary hearty manner, that they perceived at once something serious was on his mind.
"What is it, dad?" Jack asked quickly. "Has anything happened while Mint and I have been on th•;j range? Is the ranch all in order? Have Martin's men bothered the cattle?"
"It ain't Martin this time," his father answered. "It is the eastern fellow who bought the ranch from Davy. . His fellows have been trying to move the fen ce and I must go over tonight and settle it. " Jac it ,. knew his father's disposition too well to allow him to leave their ranch that night . If a man disputed McCall's word or crossed him, or treated him unfairly in any way, there was little hope for the man. A curse and a shot and all was over, and all knew the old ranchman's aim never wavered and his determination never faltered.
" I will go myself," said Jack, tightening his belt and· r E-ac hin g for his gauntlets and sombrero. "Dad, yo u stay here and help the men guard the ranch. I will be back in the morning."
_ "Yes, we will go," Minta said quietly, speaking for th,) first time, and glancing up from tbe revolver sh e was examining Jack had expected this and did not know what to tell her. He knew that · if he mentioned shooting or trouble, nothing <;ould hold her at home; but otherwise there was no reason why she should not go.
"No, Minta, you must not go," said her father. '"it will only take a short time to settle the ter. J:: .ck will not need you."
The two men shook hands and the younger want out to catch his horse, Minta following him. She stood by his side as he cinched the saddle and ne ither spoke a word. At last he ,was ready to mount and turning he met ber full gaze.
"Jaek," she said in a low voice, "tell me truthfttllY riC' you expect to have trouble?"
"No, Minta, there will be no trouble. Run Into the hc•use wit,h Dad !lnd do .not worry. If I am not here by six in the morning come after me yourself. Do not let hiln come." He kissed her tenderly and in the next instant was of!'. She sat on the fence, her face buried in her hands, and listened until the last sound of his horse's hoofs came to her through the darkness Then with a deep sigh she entered the house, after first saddling her own horse and tying him near her window.
She said good-night to her father, and all night long sat by the window straining her eyes for a glimpse of a horseman and her ears for the sound of hoofs. But all in vain. At five in the morniug she thrust two revolvers into her belt and while her father was out in the corral examining the cattle, she slipped out the window, onto her pony, and, digging in the spurs with all her might, was off at a gallop.
It did not take her long to cover the miles be:ween the two ranches and in less than an hour Swell Snappy Shoes

The question of High School Debating must be considered from two points of view, as a branch in the prescribed course of study, and as a high school activity , embracing the work of the c lubs and the inter high school debates. With the l atter phase of debating we are more or l Ess familiar, so a few words concerning it as a r e gular study in the high school course may not be out of place. As such it is almost an innov at i on, since in but two high sc hool s in the state has i t been estab lish ed . -in Lincoln and Omaha. Whether i t deserves t h e dignity of being placed b eside time-honored branches is st ill perhaps a question in the minds of many of even t ho se most enth u s i astic over debating itself. This apparent distrust is due to a teeling that debat in g, generaliy speaking, is mere talking or "spielin g, " someth ing that cannot well be taught according to principles or rules, bu t is more or l ess in t h e nature of a gift. A brief cons id eration of what the course in debate aims to accomplish will, we venture to say, at once ma!{e clear t hat not alone natural born orators may study i t with profit, but
question, ' 'Prohibition should be estab li s h ed i1: Linco ln ," the average student invariably po in t : out the ev il effects of alcohol upon the nervou s and muscular tissues, or pictures with varyin ::; degrees of luridn ess the family sce n e with th e hom e-com in g drunkard as the in ev it ab l e result: of having saloons in town. These ev il effectr h e presents as r easo ns wh prohibition s hould be estallish ed A careful scrutin: · of the question makes clea :· that the evil effects of drunJ;en n ess, thus portrayed, hav ' no particular bearing on th ( ge n eral issue, and the oppc nent of prohibition can wittout sacrificin g: any advantag ' admit all the ev ils laid a t the door of alcholic drinkr Since there will be drunker. n ess and drunlmrds uncl e any syste m , the vital issu r is whether under prohibit.iOl' there will be l ess drunll: en ness, l ess disorder or l esdemoralization r e s u 1 t i n c· from the use of liquor .
Another illustrat ion: debating the question, "Atb l etics," have been carried t r ex c ess in Lincoln Hig i School," are lik e ly to dwe r upon the advantages of exe rcis e, fresh a ir , systematic training, development o: the average student, not endowed with t h e g if t of "gab" will find it worth while.

Briefly stated, the purpose of debate is to convince, to mal'e others see things as we do. a lin e of argument, u sed, w . '
In t h li first place, one of its purposes, put in hom e l y language , is to teach a student to know what h e is talk in g abo u t. In any g iv en question certain facts and
sc hool spirit, sc hool unit '" and t h e many other goo C th in gs that ath l etics secur : for a student body, individra lly a nd collectively. Sue:

ten students who debate o;the affirmitive, misses th r po int entire l y. Th e spec ia· issu e is not whether atrJetics give certa in advan ' ages-this both sides wiJ" ideas are more or l ess closebearing on the r ea l point at issu e
Discussion of such irrelevant top ics is t im e lost. In any question t h ese is a l so a certan id ea or group of id e as upon which the whole question hinges. Points or topics that hav e no bearing upon this central theme have no place in the discussion. A few illustr ations will make this clear. In the
adm it-bu t whether the grea att e n t ion g i ve n to athletics, in time u sed ant: e n ergy spent, may n ot be incon s ist ent with th • primary business of a high school - in te ll ectua : advanc e ment. In other words, "Do athletics interfere with the work of a student as a student? '. Not a lon e high sc hool students, but p ublic speakers of no mean reputation make the mistake in
THE ADVOCATE
discussing public questions of failing to discriminate between incidentals and fundamentals. To carefully separate essential 1 oints from nonessential ones, to see through a group of facts and clear away the irr elevant ones and lay bare the real point at issue, the point upon which the whole question turns, means the development of keen ana l ytical power, similar to that acquired in a study of mathematics. Such a discipline correeLs to a large extent the so-called woolly th inking co=on to students in their oral and written productions-in short, teaches a student to know what he is ta lkin g about.
Another result aimed at is the cultivation of the judicial attitude Despite their training in historical criticism which enab l es them to take a somewhat fair view of historical questions, high school students because of home prejudice and social prejudices are likely to have pretty strong convictions without having a substantial basis for th ir views. Each student is a strong democrat without really knowing the reason why. We hope we are not c laimin g utopian effects for debate wben we claim that it bas a tendency to correct this weakness.
It does so in two ways: First, by forcing him to produce reasons or evidence for his views. Mere statements or assertions his opponent will not accept. Every fact of importance must be supported by evidence or authority, that is sound and unbiased. He soon realizes that merely saying that a thing is true does not make it true, and further that bi s beliefs or convictions about ordinary quest ion s rests upon no very sound basis. In still another way i s he l ed to view questions with mere tolerance Placed upon the side he does not believe in, his search for facts reveals that tbe supposed weak s id e has some tremendously stubbo rn facts in its favor. Or, better still, he takes his chosen side and, confident of i ts supe riori ty, i s overwhelme(l by the array of facts and arguments brought up on the other side. Such experiences cannot fail to be e y e openers and at l east help to teach the much needed and se l dom earned truth that except in tbe domain of mora ls , every question has two quite evenly balanced sides.
Besides being a discipline in analytical power and inculcating judicial attitude, both extremely valuable, it g i ves a further extremely practical training in the abil i ty to investigate questions Admittedly to teach a student how to investigate i:S the prov inc e of hi story and we do not wish to seem to enc ro ac h upon - t t1 e historian's field. Debate does not pretend to do the work of historica l but a different kind of equa ll y va lu ab l e investigating power we c l aim it does give. In history the sources of information are pointed out chapte r , page , line. Tbe student n€'ed on l v follow directions in getting his material. The teacher points the way.
In looking up the canteen however, for example, the student bas ordinarily only the bibliographies 'and indexes of the libraries to guide him. He must nm down, locate, select his material. He must reject unsigned magazine articles,
look up the antecedents of authorities whose names are unf amiliar, that he may know upon what sort of evidence he i s relying. Accuracy and certainty in tbe use of facts and authorities is intensified by the feeling that his opponent has examined the same material and is ready t0 take advantage of any flaw in a statement or any weakness in one authority.
The abi li ty to locate, gather, se l ect, compare and class if y such varied sources of information as official reports, magazines, bibliographies, textboolcs, speec h es, newspaper accounts and from them lin e up a lo gica l hang together argument, calls into play a student's utmost intellectual efforts.
Some of the commonly emphasized benefits derived from any sort of public speaking, such as wide knowledge of current questions, ability to think before an audience, the art of c lear forcible expression need only be mentioned.
Because, then, a course in debate aims to cultivate the habit of close th inkin g, encourages a spir it of fai'rness in the attit ud e toward pub li c questions and strengthens the in vestigat in g power, must it not fo llow that, if it approx im ates or· approaches the results ai m ed at, the average student will find it worth while and it must thuS' deserve T'ecognit i on beside tbe t im e-hono r ed branches in the high school curriculum.
A word as to debating as a hi gh sc ho o l activity. The exce ll ent work of the boys' and g irl s' clubS' is so well known that i t requires no exp l anation. There i s a marked increase on tbe part of both faculty and students in these organizations. The forming of a new girls' debating society recent l y and the threatened organization of another boys' c lub i s evidence of the healthy grow t h of a debating spirit. These promising signs of a future vigorous life, in the face of fb·e success iv e defeats in our inter high schoo l contests proves that this function does not depend for support upon the winning of victories.

Ellis H. Harrison, C3ptain
Our schedu l e is nearly complete, and is as follows:
September 30, Un iv e r sity of Nebraska at Lincoln.
October 6, York High School at York.
October 15, Omaha High School at Omaha.
October 21, West Des Moines High School at Linco ln.

November 11, Beloit High School at Beloit, Kansas.
Fted M. Hunter, Coach.
November 18, North Division High School of Ch ic ago at Linco ln .
Thanksgiving clay, East Moines High School at Des Moines.
We will have a g r eat team if Fred Hunter, our last yea r 's football coach, is still with us next fa ll. There is a great fund of material avail ab l e fu r next yea r and with good coach in g we should liave a r ecord-break in g team. Let us hope that Hunte r will appea r on the g t·icli ron next fa ll as our coach. If h e does, the football boys stand ready to guarantee t h e results of the games.
Our Track Team
Have we not a right to be proud of our track team this year? Proud of t h em because t h ey have h ac! t h e moral courage to forego a ll t ho se things, such as l(eeping irr egu l ar hours , eating unwhol esome food, go in g to parties a nd eating candy, which tend to keep them from reaching their hi !rh est perfection in physica l cond iti on. Proud of them because t hey are a r eprese ntat ive set of c l ean wholesome boys who sta nd for scho l arship as w e ll as ath l et ic prowess. Lincoln High School students a lw ays make h aste to l ose int e rest in , and re spect for any ath l ete who i s
simp ly a physical mon.strosity. We must stand for t h e best traditiuns of the school. Vi'e must b€ lo yal in sY.pport of our high schoo l ' s great aincs a n d movements It is not e nou gh that a boy shou ld win athletic g lory and renown for his schoo l. If ath letics are to continue to li ve in our schoo l and c l aim the pl ace that they really should have in anv schoo l the ath l ete must stan I for scho l a r ship and clean, manly , spirited at h· l etics, for mora l c l ea nliness, for a ll t h e best tra· diticns and hi ghest ideals of t h e sc h oo l which he r eprese nts. Do we not a ll believe t h at our
THE ADVOCATE
ath l etes are coming to stand for that sort of thing more and more? It seems that we do, because in the first p l ace, a boy must live up to very stringent scho l astic requirements before he can represent his school. Second, we as a school should congratu late ourselves on our good l uck in securing coaches in the various branches of athletics, w h o are men that reall y stand for something; who teach the boys that w inning isn't all but that we shou l d have fine po i n s of honor and if victorious should purchase victory on our merits as a c lean bunch of contestants. Again, we are reaching a higher p l ane in ath l etics because the school is progressing and grow ing a long desirable lines and this who les ome moral growth of the student body nowhere manifests itself more than it has among our boys engaged in athletics. Hence our present reputation as a schoo l which is great in ath l etics is the highest tribute that could possibly be paid to our school, because that reputation rests upon scho l arship, clean coaches, and a so und moral development of the st u dent body. Do es i t not appear clear, therefore, that no school's athletics can r i pen into the fu ll ness of their possibilities, or long survive, except such athletics be b u ilt upon a foundation of scho l arship, manly coaches , and a sound enthusiastic student body By conform i ng to these principles Linco ln High School has earned an enviable place among the high schools of our state.
PERSO NNE L OF THE T EAM.
ED WA R D MAN NING - Our success this year is clue to the efforts of Coach Ed Manning. He is a Texan and a natural born westerner. The boys all have great Tespect for Eel. and without him we cou l d not have been successful. All teams of whatever kind must have jud ic ial direction 'This is true of debatin g te s, and especia ll y tr u e of all ath l etic teams. We were forttmate in securing him for co ch, an.d a ll the boys hail him as a man of honor and moral stamina.

Gene has made a sp l end i d m il er. Every man that Gene has run agai n st th i s yea r has happened to be a bay l ed hay product of great notoriety, and for that reason he has n ot a l ways wo n first pl ace, though he !llwa,·s ran a creditab l e race.

I S T HERE F OU N DA TI ON FOR M R. BAIRD ' S ATH L E TI C VIEWS ?
All l oyal High School students w e re v ery muc h surprised at the late change in Mr. Baird's ath· let ic views, which we all regard as very significant. It has also been sugge sted that his repor t wou l d hav e b ee n diff e r e n t had he known anything approximating the truth.
Certainly h e choose the greatest insult possible when h e a ll eged that both High School and Univers i ty athletics are now on a "profes· sional " basis. Such charges are unworthy of an argumentative reply.
First, the public is convinced that no facts exist which wou l d tend to prove such charges. S e cond, our faculty, principa l and coach hav e exerted every influence to keep our ath l etics on a clean, vigorous, amateur basis Such charges are as much an insu l t to them as to those at whom they were d irected. We are convi n ced that it is unnecessary to cite the fallacies in his report, which are too numerous to mention, and unworthy of conc l usive refutation
In concl us i on we wo u ld say t h at Mr. Bai rd has disp l ayed his i gnorance as regards "profess i onalism" in athl etics, because i n many of the best and largest high sch oo l s of the west and east they employ a paid ath l etic d irector or coach , u sua ll y a membe r of the faculty In such case athletics become a department of the schoo l.
As regards the ind ividual pl ayers, the charge of "professionalism" brought against them is a ill h amefu l one witho u t any foundation , and unworthy of the dignity of a reply. 1307 0 STREET X X

'Z1 S we fi nish our duties in connection with The Q Advocate we desire to thank all who have co ntribu ted to i ts support. Advertisers have been unusually gene rous in taking space and but fo r t h ei r a iel no paper could have b een published. We trus t subscribers h ave app r eciated this fact and reciprocated by liberally patronizing them. The st u dents have manifested considerab l e interest in the paper and furnished a great deal of materia l for publication . We regr et that it was impossible to publish all copy handed in, as for the most part, it was very meritorious. Every member of the staff has been untiring in the ir efforts to make the paper successfu l, and if it has poss essed any merit at all. it bas been due to this fact.
N e xt year a much better paper than ever be· fore published, is anticipated. Mr. Homer Ayles·
worth, as business manager, and Miss :F'ay Har tl ey as editor, represent the two strongest persons that could be found in the :school for their re spe cti ve positions Mr. A y l e swor t h bas had a great deal of praclical business experi e nc e and Miss Hartley's literary work is of the very hi ghest class Both are hustl e r s and lmow how tO' make a project succeed The assistants in the IJusin e ss department will be W1lliam Byerts, adv e rtising manager, and R ich ard Webster, circul ator; in t he editoria l department, Mr. Sam :F'os1.er and Mi s s Louise Gu t hne, associat es . All are especially fitted for their positions and the staff will be a n unusuall.v strong one
In closing, we wish the new management the best of success and The Advocate itself a prosperous. enduring lif e . Our connection with i t will be remembered with pleasure.

A COMMUNICATION
Tc, the Editor of The Advocate:
The very fact t ha t. the system of self-government and student organization bas been propos ed to us at t hi s l ate period in the semester m eans that we shou ld give it very car ef ul a nd thoughtful consideration Don't be too ha sty in eit her favoring o r condemning the pla n. One view especiall y seems very im portant abo u t which I wish to say a few words. B r iefly s ated it is, we are too anxious and willing t o appoint othe rs t o do work.
'rh's is the mcst dangerous side to our proPrse ,J "YS t e-:n of se l f -l!o v e rn me nf . We hav e go od thnn<:>:hts a n d intent'ons . bu ' w e are apt to fee l we can n0 t heln and that one more or les s will '"'nl;e no difi:erence, and so we count ours e lv es nnf . 'ill is is wron g from the very foundation, as ron wi ll see when y ou t ry to i 'ua-rinFJ the r esu l t i <'n e of t h e 13,000 st ud e n ts wou l ct "mnl ; e nn rlifference."
In the first place, i f the constitution drawn up ll Y the committee appointed is not satisfacto r y i L sho'l l d l' e reversed. Don't make t h e mistake , of t hin k in g; tbat after the is arlopted, it hDs any nower or fo rc e. 'f'h e constitution is a force onlv in as much as we use 'it with our own effo r ts and determination for t h e betterment of our school. '!' he matter of officers h ns only one imnortant feature and that is to h ave a "focus" f o r the or gan i zation, they being merely our servants, and we must in stru ct them rath e r t han depend upon them to carry o u t and •mak e a success of this system
"We must all our shoulders to the wheel and push.'' There is no other way To b e sure, one cannot make it a success but 1,300 "ones" can Be "o n e" of them. ' Keep the motive and requirements of the s vstem firmly fixed in your mind and live up to all of its details in y our own dealing s an d actions, t h ereby setting an example t o the incomin g students
So, above a ll. r e member that it is you upon whom the strength and power of t his organization depends, which l eads to a strengthening and uplifting of the best hi gh school in the west.
