THE STAND-IN.
(Wi t h Apologies to Sir Kipling.)
There once was a boy, and he made his prayer, (E ve n as you and I,)
To an office desk and an offic e chair, (We cou ld have told him they would not care,)
But the boy was sure of a stand-in there, (Even as you and I.)
Oh, the miles we waste and the wiles we waste, And the fl atte ry cute and s l y, Tryin g to get what w e n eve r could get (In the nature of things we never could get,)
For a stan d-in comes to high!
The boy w nt i n for a wild tim e, (Ev e n as you and I,)
Bu t the teac h ers sternly judged hi s crime (Alas for the h ero of this bad rhym e,) He came from the office done up prime, (E ve n as you and I.)
And i t isn 't the shame and it i sn't the blame
That makes yo u fee l lik e a foo l , It's r emem bering how you us ed to brag
Of the iron-bound stand -i n t hat you had , To all yo ur friends at sch ool.

THE ADVOCATE EDITORIAL
Last spring when the Advocate Association elected Miss Fay Hartley editor-in-chief for the year 1905·6, we a ll felt that the paper would be a greater success than ever under such talented management. Now, we regret to announce, Miss Harlley has resigned from this office. She is in Colorado for the benefit of her health, where it is to be hoped she wlll soon get quite well again. v..r e very grateful to Miss Hartley for "copy" contributed to tbis Issue of The Advocate.
We are also indebted to Miss Helen Mitchell for help in securing news.
A new double-period system has been inaugurated in our school. Instead of having seven periods, as before, the day is divided into four double periods as follows:
I 9:00-10:17. Chapel 10:20-10:29.
II 10:45-12:00 12:00-12:45, noon hour.
III 12: 45- 2: 02.
Recess 2: 02- 2: 13.
IV 2:13- 3 : 30.
As will readily be seen this makes school last one-half hour longer, but it seves several hours of outside studying.
During the first half of the period the classes recite the lesson for the day. During the latter part they study and prepare the lesson for the following day .
Some of the advantages of this system are, tha t the pttplls study with the ass istance of the All are preparing th e ir lesson so that th e re is no disturbance of the students from thei r work. One thing is a disadvantage about this the students comp l ain that they have to sit for the full period with no chance for exercise
There would be no complain if all teachers did as some are doing, They let the llUpils have a few minu t es for rest in the middle of the period. The y can walk about the room and have a little exercise at least.
As most students have realized, a great deal more freedom is allowed all of them under this new system of periods Now the lower classmen as well as the upper enjoy a degree of government never before known to the L. H. S. Just as long as the pupils do not abuse these privileges they can have them and in time there will probably be more.
The new time of having chapel so far seems
to remedy one of the evils of past years. When convocation lasted anywhere from ten to one h undrecl minutes, every morning period was greatly shortened, much to the disadvantage of teachers and pupil. Now that there is a definite time for the morning gathering no periods suffer on account of too little time.
Many needed repairs, such as the new steps at the west entrance of Science Hall and a coat of paint on the same building have greatly Improved the appearance of our High School. Some things, however, have been left undone as most no doubt have noticed. In several places on the walls and ceiling of the Auditorium the plaster is hanging loos e and ragged. It Is not only dangerous but detracts much from the fine appearance which our chapel once had. This certainly deserves the attention of the school board before it grows worse.
S. I. S. NOTES
There was a l arge attendance at the S. I. S. meeting Tuesday evening after the Fourth in Room 203 The specia l feature of the afternoon was a pop corn feed and every one who was not present missed a good time. At the business meeting it was decided to have a bay rack ride and basket supp e r some time In the near future. The ride will be discussed further at the next meeting, Tuesday afternoon, and every Senior girl should be there to offer suggestions All desiring S. I. S. pins should give the ir names to Eile e n Dart immediately.
OCERONIANS
The Ciceronian Debating Society held their first regular meeting in Room 200 Friday, September 15.

The new question for debate at the next meetIng wlll be placed in bulletin on time

UAlHUSON FOOTBALL-PROSPECTS
The prospects for a football team was never more promising in the High School. There h ave been more boys out on the campus than ever before dur in g the first week of school. The eagerness of the boys, even the smaller ones, to make a place on the team is surprising. As a r esu lt of this the larger boys will have to work hard, or they will be beate n out, so boys, you vo nr s n: a ll s i7.e is not a drawbacl' in pla y ing fcotball. Ther e a r e p laces on the team where sma ll m e n are n ee d ed, just as t h e r e are places where weight is nec essa ry. But do not think that you stand no show, if you are smaller than the average Get out a nd try, you will be g iven a fair chance at the place for which you are trying.

Now it came to pass in the clays when the barons he l d the i r sway and knights were somewhat over-bold, that a great legion of warriors from the Nawtinyne country came marching a ainst E ll achess Castle to demand that they be admitted.
Cl ad in burn i sher armor were they not, for no nob l e knight were among them, but in s i mp le attir of hunting green, and in the cap of each man waved a green plume, for incleecl green was the clan-color of the Nawtinynes.

THE WESTERN MEADOWLARK.
0 friends, have you heard the meadow-lark, The bird of the boundless west, Who enriches the prairies wide and dark
Wi t h the g leam 'Of his yellow breast?
Amid the flowers in the summer hours
He sings as he guards his nest; But ah! in the spring is his sweetest song, For 'tis spring that h e loves the best.
Up in the poplar brown and bare, When the wind blows cold and strong, "Come up , come out, ye fiowrets fair!"
He sings the whole day long. And when in May on a gladsome day
The bright-winged songsters throng, "How happy, oh how happy and gay," He bursts into joyous song.
And still his notes are blithe and free
Through blustering winds annoy; For a dauntless hero's heart has he, Wbose gold is without alloy. And the joy that his carol brings t'O me
Is a sweet that ne'er will cloy, "How merry, oh how merry are we, Joy, joy, joy!"

DEBATING.
The Lincoln High School has always been , victorious in football. The school has taken pride in their team and shown more enthusiasm for it than for any other interest. Debate in the F.l;igh School has consequently be e n sadly n eg l e ct ed. Last year we were defeated by Omaha a nd Beatrice. Our teams put upa good strugg le, but there were too few candidates and school sp irit was lacldng. Omaha has defeated us for a good m a ny years. They put their who l e spirit into debate We beat them constantly in football it is true, but that gives them the impression that we are on their l evel, intell ect ually Beatrice a smaller school by h alf than ours, with no co a ch and only one society, also defeated us. In the Interscholastic Debate our repre se ntative won second place. We have not won first place in this impor t ant debate since 1900 when A l bert Levy secured the honor This yea r we have at

EDITORIAL
As most peop l e know, The Advocate i s i n the hands of an entire ly new staff. Our first difficulty is that we have had little experien ce in this ki n d of w o rk. Next o ur paper was not l eft in t h e best condition at the c l ose of l ast year, a debt bei n g l eft which we are g oin g t o
pay off i f means a r e w i th in our reach. Now t h e most i mportan t th in g t o be d on e i s to get a l arge subscription li st. Last year t h e n umbe r of s ubscribers was ·over s i x h u ndred. Thi s h e l ped g r eatly in keep i ng u p Th e Advocate S o fa r t hi s year we have l ess tha n t hr ee hun d r e d, no t a ll of these, h o w eve r, a r e pa id u p s ub scripti on s. W e want at l east on e thousan d names o n our li st of subscribers. If we h ad s u c h a li st we s houl d not have to answer, that t h e advertisers a r e o u r main suppo r t, whe n asked "wh at keeps The Advocate up." When we h ave to depend so much on advertisements to raise money for the running expenses much val uab l e space i s u sed i n this way when it sho u ld be fi ll ed with good reading matter.
What we ask now i s that each and every student clo a ll i n his power to make o u r H i g h School paper a great s u ccess. T hi s can eas il y be done by getting every one to subscr ibe fur The Advocate, the only successfu l weekl y High School paper published.
Several years ago a plan was inaugurated to give to the Lincoln H i gh Schoo l a system of so-called self-government. It is true that we then had more self-government than many other schools but it did not compare with what we now have under the new constitution lately adopted by our school. Few students realize what the new constitution means The Linco l n High School Commonweal th as the student body is now ca ll ed, can pass any law they see fit, provid ed it does not interfere with the state, county or city regu l ations and is approved by the school authorities. That seems at first to give us no more power than we have ever had But after a closer investigation one thinks differently. When nearly eleven hundred students ask a school board for something they are almost sure to get it, if the board can possibly grant it to them. Many pupils have a very faint idea of the provisions and meanings in our cunstit u tion. For their benefit and the information of all persons interested in our schoo l, we pub li sh in t h is issue as much of the constitution as we can. The remain ing portio n will be in the next issue.

No doubt they will all be in the pink of condition at t h at date.
Saturday the boy s will go to Omaha to play the high sc h oo l there. It is r epo rted that Omaha h as the strongest team she has had in years, and as they hav e been practicing much l ong e r than the Linco ln boys, it is thought that this will bE' one of the hardest games of the season, and as it is li kely that there will be a rate to Omaha It is hcped that many of t h e pupils her e will accompany the team and mak e our boys feel as though they were t l aying with t h e support of old Lincoln High.

S I. S. NOTES
The S . I. S. Society held its regular meeting Tuesday after the Fourth in Room 103.
Several suggestions for increasing the interest of the S. I. S. meetings were considered and it was decided to have a reading by Miss Pound, one of the sponsors, at the next meeting. All of the Senior girls shou l d come as Miss Pound will be sure to have something good for us.
The society dec i ded to have a party sometime in the near future but the exact date and other matters of detail were left to be discussed at the next meeting.
The hayrack ride held Friday night proved to be a great succe ss. Starting at 5:30 we went out by the boulevard, and about 6 o'clock we camped in a little grove. Several huge fires were built about which we were seated for our supper We toasted marshmallows and sang school and college songs until about 8 o'clock, when the moon commenced to shine, then we started for a long ride in the country. We sang, spoke, yelled and had a good time. Then

After going on in this manner for abo ut two weeks, t h ey lost their privileges as self-governing students of the High School. Th ey could not att e nd chapel and must s t.udy during lhat p e riod , which l asted sometimes fo r an hour. A close watch was kept over the f r esh i es This class was a model compared with our pr ese nt freshmen, if character can be jud ge d by one's action s
The n e w pupils do not seem to know or r ealize that they have e n te r ed a school--of students , and for students. They have brought with them childish tra its b etter adapted t o a set of childr e n who do not know right from wrong. Bois te rousness is no nam e for their b ehavior a nd actions around school. Th ey push and shove when go ing through the halls as if they were in some kind of a free-for-all fight. The b ehav ior of the present freshmen class in chapel is bad, but t his we are glad t o say is not all t h ei r own fault. Students who have b ee n in the High School long enough to be seniors sit up in the gallery a nd raise a disturbance by talking, laughing and attracting the attention of the freshmen. If these students who are really not claimed by any class w e r e kept out of the section reserved for freshmen a great improvement would be noticed
We speak of the class as a whole. Th ere are of course, some st ud e nts who are well behaved and mann e rly, but as a whole the Class of '09 is so far without any equal in disorderliness. Under the plans of Dr. Sanders all students are a llow ed more t ime for study here at school. This saves much outside work. This privilege is b e in g g r eatly abused. Many of the pupils waste a ll of t h eir vacant peri od s and h ave to do the ir studying at night. The best way for us to keep these as w e ll as other privileges is to us e them as they are intended to be used.

Clarence Clark was elected Justice of the Supreme Court.
As we elected only one Senator at our last meeting, two more were elected, Ralph Moline and Marion Sweezey.
The meeting was disturbed by a number of upper classmen, who forced their way into the room, and made a great deal of noise and confusion. We like to have upper classmen come in and speak to us during our meetings, but those who come to cause confusion, we ask to keep away.
A great many upper classmen also go up into the Freshmen section during chapel, and mal<e a great racket The sergeant-at-arms is goint to try to stop it, but it is the duty of every Freshman to aid him as much as possible.

VARSITY DEFEATS HIGH SCHOOL.
Owing to the Muddy Conditi o n of the Feld, Fast Bal l Was Impossible.
With a field on which fast playing was an impossibility, and with only fifteen minute halves the varsity defeated Lincoln High School by a score of 20 to 0. To kick a goal in Saturday's game was almost an impossibility, for the ball was so slippery and heavy from the condition of the ground. A heavy rain ])egan to fall about one o'clock and continued until 3:40 p. m., when the teams appeared on the field. One of Nebraska's goals came from an overthrow by Collin s, the High School center, while on their own goal lin e, the ball being downed by Lundin of the University, , who vaulted the north fence to get it
The line men were called on to carry the ball quite often. Cotton and Taylor were b'oth generally successful in pushing it forward. Taylor broke through the line for several yards at a time, and had to be stopped by the back field. \Veller and Wilson got good starts for end runs several times, but were stopped by Smith, the plucky little High School end The High School did not have a very good opportunity to try offensive work, as they were forced to punt when they got the ball. Hildebrand was responsible for stopping the advance of the varsity players through the line several times. The High School give the varsity a much harder game than Grand Island a week ago.
The crowd came in spite of rain and mud until the grandstand was well filled. The rooting was not up to the standard on Saturday, but this was probab l y due to the weather. The story of the game in detail is:
F irs t Half.
The High School kicked ofl' to Morse, who carried the ball back to the thirty yard line before he was downed. The varsity started a steady march through the muddy field toward the north goal. Tay l or was sent through for small gains and Wilson was used on tack l e plays frequently. The mud being so heav y kept Wilson from getting away for long runs.
The ball was carried to within a few yards
of the High School goal, when a fumble gave it to the Eigh School. Minor at once punted to the thirty yard line, where Mo rse fell on the bal l. The s low march back to the goal began again and in a few downs Taylor was sent over for the first to uchd ow n. Mo rs e tried to kick the goa l, but failed. Score, 5 to 0.
The High School again kicl,ed off and the ball was downed on the forty yard lin e. The progress of the University team was slower than before and when Hildebrand broke through the line and tackled We ll er for a loss, Morse kicked, send in g the ball to Minor on the High School twenty yard line Before the ball was put in play the half ended with the score 5 to 0 in favor of the U niv e r sity.
Seco nd Half.
The ground impro ved somewhat during the second half, though it was still heavy and the play was somewhat fiercer than in the first part of the game. The University kicked off to Minor, who returned to the twenty-five yard line. Smith made four yards and Nebraska was penalized for an offside play by Borg. Minor made three yards, but then the University helcl On the next play the University got the ball on a fumble on the High School thirty yard line. The intervening distance to the goal was made in slow gains, Cotton going over for the second score. this part of the game Denslow got a bump on the side of the head and was replaced by Colhart Cotton failed to kick goal. Score, 10 to 0.
The University received the ball on the next kick off on the forty yard line. Gains by Schmidt, We ll er, Cotton and Little advanced the ball to within ten yards of the High School goal, where a penalty for holding sent it back ten yards. When the ball was within five yards of the goal again it was transferred to the High School on downs.
Minor fe ll back for a punt, but when Collins passed the ball to him he threw it high above Minor's head and over the fence into the street. T h ere was a scramble over the fence for the ball, and Lundin fell on it where it lay. After consultation, the officials allowed the Nniversity a touchdown Eager tried the goal, but failed. Score, 15 to 0.
The Univers i ty secured the ball on the thirtyfive yard line and after several downs, Schmidt kicked to Minor, who returned to the twenty-nve
yard lin e. The High School tried , a fake kick, but cud not ga in. Ta y lor was tak e n back and given the ball, making two five yard ga ins. \ Vell e r was sent over for the final score , directly in fro n t nf t h e goa l posts. Cotton missed goa l.
Sco r e , 20 to 0 Th e r est of the game was a ptmting contest between Schmidt and Minor, with the re s ult in favor of 't he latt er.

EDITORIAL
As everyone knows or should know, football is the thing which occupies much time during this season of the year. This fact is especia ll y so
with our team, which practices every eve nin g. The members work hard and do all in their power to make t he team one which is well able to r ep r esent the Lincoln High against a n y other school. After the foo tball boys do t h e ir part in preparing for a game i t i s certainly t h e part of the students to support them by attend ing the game and show in g some appreciation for their work. The team works not for its own honor and praise but for the g l ory and fam e which the High School gains through the ir efforts. It i s true that not so many and strong football celebrations are he l d in chapel as l ast yea r, but those were surely not what aroused a ll the e nthusiasm. The old Lincoln High spirit is weaker this year than formerly. They do not attend the games in one large body, which by its self helped the boys on to victory.
Now it lies with the students alone to make this season one which will go down in our history as the most successf ul and victorious football year.
The Advocate Publishing Association is greatly ind ebted to the Class of 1905 for their donation of $16 .22 as i ts share of the proceeds from the ir Annual. The Athletic Association received a g ift from the same class.
A LITTLE FRESHIE.
There was a littl e Freshman who started to our schoo l He was unacquainted and didn't know the rule
That all fresh ies caught down in the hall
Must go to the office and stand by the wall.
Not many clays had gone by Before the little treshie was quite sly
He usecl to creep t o his locker when all was still Ancl soon he earned the name of Sneaking Bill.
One day he slipped through the hall before the bell Suddenly when rounding a corner he t ripp ed and fell
A door nearby stood ajar
So the freshie didn't get very far.
Up to he office the little "dub" went With a note saying that he had been sent By Mr. Beclm1an who holds sway
Down in the hall a ll the day.
There in the office the freshie stood Until he promised that he'd be good
Th n he departed with a smile And said thaL be would behave for a while

S. I. S. NOTES
The S. I. S . Society held' its regular meeting Tuesday after the Fourth period in Room 103.
The society decided to hold a pie auction for the Senior boys after school on hallowe'en day.
On the afternoon of November 4, there is to be an S. I. S. at the home of the Misses Charolette and Ora Bushnel. This will be an excellent opportunity for getting better acquainted with the members of the society. The Senior girls who have just entered the class this semester are especially urged to come.
Regular Browning meeting held last Thursday in Room 302. An informal party was arranged for next Saturday at the home of Lora Smith.
Arter a short business meeting a miscellan eous feed was given in honor of our new pledge, Katherine Mockett.
PHLOGISTONS
Th e Phlogistons held their regular meeting last Friday evening in Room 201.
Aften an interesting parliamentary drill, the regular debate was held: Resolved, That the last part of the second sentence of sec. 6, article 2, in the L. H. S. constitution should be withdrawn. Archie Dinsmore and Edwin Miller upheld the affirmati 1 e. Glenn Bennett and Stanfield Wells spoke on the negative.
Everybody is invited to come to our meetings.
it is not known that any and all l'' u -'ents rre expected to contribute to The Advocate. Every one having new jol\es, joshes or anything of interest to the other students may drop them in The Advocate box opposite the uf-
fice door. ,;vhen we have hoor the best of these will be printed.
DEBATING.
Debating practice bas already begun in the L. H. S. Both of the boys' societie have been taking in new members and the girls' societies have been equally vigilant. A good many of the Freshmen have been coming to the societies Both there and in their class meeting they have shown a great deal of debating spirit. If a few of the older pupils would come to the society meetings we can do a great deal uf work towariJ.s the big debates. We are going to defeat Omaha and Beatrice this year if the school will help us, and every one should do his part. Mr. Cronin is trying a new style of debate in his debating class and it appears to be worldng well. Of course this is not debating season and what we h ave done is not especially interesting but when some uf the younger members hav e developed we will be able to show the school that we have not been idle even while football is the thing of the clay.
Remember Freshmen! Debates every Friday evening at 7: 30 p. m. in Rooms 200 and 201.

If you should see my pallid cneel\:,

THE SIMPLE LIFE AT LINCOLN HIGH
I am but a little freshie, So they told me when I came, And I've lately annexed "greeness" As a portion of my name.

Every morning, rising ear l y I my books and notebooks pile, And off to schoo l a hustlingIt' s a little o ' er a mile.
There, I race towards my lo cker, Throw my books in anyway, Grab my Latin' keep a runn ing, For this is my busy day.
A ll through first 'Im kept a ho pp ing, Learn in g hatin verbs and such, Then to chapel, whe r e I'll probably Hear-well 't won't be very much.
Then to secon d. That is science. Gee, the metric system's hard! There we l ear n how l ong an inch is , And the density of lard.
There's the bell, but 't means no lessons. Home agai n I swiftly tear , Gr ab some lunch, aga in start schoolward, Never stop to comb my hatr.
Back t o li terat ur e I hurr y, (Course I l eft my l esson home) Then to histor y I stagge r , There to learn of Gre ece and Rome.
Then-y es youth is scarcely over, But I have a fifth, and then I must speak before the senate, 'Fore I homeward go again.
Hastily I eat my supper, Then get lessons for next day, I came home at ten o'clock From my chum's, too late to play
So to rest I go exhausted, Dreaming of my next day's strife. Oh a chaos would be soothing
Beside this high school sfmple life. -FORREST TEBBETTS.
DEBATE
Debating will commence earlier than usual this year if the Beatrice high sc hool will agree to a debate to be held just before the Christmas vacation. The Debating Association held its meeting Tuesday after fourth period in room 304 and elected officers for the year. Those e l ected were: Cliffm·d Aylesworth, president; Ralph Moseley, vice president; Archie Dinsmore, secretary and treasurer; Char l es Bennett, attorney. One member from each society was e l ected to act as a co=ittee to instruct the secretary in matters of m in or importance, pertaining to the debates. The secretary was instruc ted to write Beatrice stating that we wish to debate this semester, and asking them to s ubmi t a question within two weeks. If they reply favorably they pre limin ar i es will probably be in about six weeks. When t h e drawing of places Is called for the :prelimin aries every one who can shou ld get out and draw a place Then get down to work and put up a g ood fight even if you do not expe ct to win. By so doing you help the others and you help yourself for you can only win by practice. We've Beatrice before, we can again and malre up for last year's defeat.

The l eaves lie t hick on t he sodd en plain , Chilled and wet by t h e m e rciless rain, An cl they whisper mournfully, " Never again."
As they h ea r the drea r , Fa r away sound of the wind's r ef rain.

SENIORS
The seniors held their regular meet in g in room 202. A fair number were there. More s e nior boys are wanted at the meetings. The
class is considering a new class yel l.
s ophomore party, some who might properly hav e been calls sophs. There were many different games to be played so that the old time worn ones like Winkum-Blinlmm did not have to be resorted to for amusement.. For refreshments, instead of the usual ice or ice cream, which everyo ne is tired of, the good, old time harvest festivals wer e suggested by serving pop corn and app l es, followed by punch and nabisco wafers. At 11: 20 a special car was run out to Thirty-t hird and 0 streets and all came in together t ir ed, but happ y, feeling sure that this was the b est class party the '07s had ever given.

EDITORIAL
The same old question comes up once more, that of the students' attitude toward our self-
government . Most of us already know that our principal has given the Lincoln High School the new system although it is not in accord with the wishes and sentiments of many of the ci tizens of Linco ln . We should bear in mind the fact that . he can withdraw our privileges whenever he wishes. It is well that some one class, at least, has taken the matter up and is trying to set matters before the students so that some common or general interest may be shown by the pupils.
The seniors have d r awn up resolutions condemning unruly actions; they have had one of their m embe rs speak in chapel and furthermore a sen ior has written a pape r for publication in The Advocate
\ 1\Till not other c l asses and individuals do likewise?
A COMMUNICATION.
Do we realize how much of a home our school is to us? As we spend the greater portion of our time within its walls, our lives are in a way mou l ded by its influence and it is really one of our hom es. Then if it be a hom e let us treat it as s u ch and not as a p l ace to be despised. Let us keep the walls c l ean from lead pencil marks; l et us not destroy the chairs by cutting our ini- · tials on them If we went into a private home and saw the walls marked, the chairs sc r atched, the furniture broken, what would be our estimation of the people li ving there? "Not much," you say. Well then what will visitors think of us if they see our schoo l building desecrated in such manner? So let us take care of our school; let us take pride in it for we all really lov e it if we only stop to think and we want to keep it as nice as we can, both for our own sake and for those who will occupy it after us.

NOVE I BER
The sun through mis t y curtains glows, A yellow-grey, And on a foggy world it shows, The dawning day.
As misty shadows move and sway Neath yellow li g ht , The sun shoots out i ts golden ray, Dismiss ing night.
A soft and chilly wind is blown Through scattered leaves, And fros t y apple branches moan, Neath dripping eaves.
The sparrow twitters; other birds Have southward flown No more do softly lowing herds Pasture alene.
The sun lo oks down, on dreary scene; For hills are g r ey
No more are fields and meadows green As yesterday.
The 'leventh mon t h; November now is nigh, And all is sear The bleal, est month, beneath the leaden sky Of all the year.

A meeting of boys interested in basket-ball was he l d November 7, in Room 116. Mr. Ottis Shatto reported, to the dozen or more who w e re present, that the School Board had given their c onsent for the boys to use the g irl's gymnasium for practice providing the apparatus was l eft alone. The terms of the board were agreed to and two full teams got out for practice that evening.
Challenges have been received from several teams but Manager Shatto has not arranged any games. He expects to get games with Geneva and Omaha soon.
The team is not yet chosen, neither has a captain been elected. Each place is open to all, an.d boys with any knowledge of the game should get out next Tuesday, in the girls' gymnasium to try for places. Mr. Heines purchased a new ball and some fast practice is expected.

A SENIOR'S ESSAY ON "POSTRY."
Literature may be either pros e or poet r y, because both a re allowed by l aw. Prose is mostly written to give us ef ul informa tion, lil'e history or recipes for cake. Poetry is u sef ul also, being used to fill space. Sometimes it does not fill up all the space because the lin es do no t reach clear out to the edge Poetry is never r ead exce pt by literature classes in H i gh School. If t h e persons who wrote the stuff which is studied knew bow much bother they were making for these classes they would n ever have written it. Ryhme is a word which is connected with poetry but does not need to be defined because it is seldom found. There is a c ertain tune which i s us ed when reading poetry in the li te ra:ture cl asses. There a re a great many poets, among whom a r e Shakespeare, Tennyson, Longfellow and Fo rrest Tebbetts. Mr. Tebbetts is sometimes called a great man, but i t is genera lly known that small men often accomplish as much as great men. It is certain, howev e r , that when young, Mr Tebbetts was certainly a great kid. Some poetry is supposed
to be sensib l e, but most of it is abo ut love. When p eople feel like writing poetry they a l ways take a dose of quinine. If they write some any how they generally write about "B itt erness of Life" or "The Bitter Tears I Shed." As t his is all I know about poetry I will c l ose by saying "subscri Le f J r Th e Advocate " Th only paper which contains no (real) poetry. Amen.

M A Y- D A Y I N T HE GERMA N FOREST
(Translated from "Frau Ho lde.")
0, blissful rest in forest grand, The pine trees shadowing widelyI looked into the sunlit land, Where swarms of gnats played idly 'I'he cricket chirrups loud and long, Grasshoppers join the summer song, While fat ol d bumbles, black and go ld, Swam 'round the apple blossoms and sco ld.
There where the brook the grass divides, And through the willow saplings glides, With silv'ry r i pples shimmer, About the rushes tall and slim, And 'round the lily petal s skim
Bright dragon- flies a-glimmer. In the wet reeds the bullfrog croaks
His newest love-song as he soaks, And wag-tails trip about the ooze, Like town frauleins in h i gh-heeled shoes. Up in the branches over me, Is rustling soft and peep ing.
A titmouse gray, around the tree
In search of insects creeping.
An d here the crossbill flutters trim, The merry sisk in follows him, The bull-finch, chirping loud l y, Shows his red waist-coat pro u dly.
Now cease your chirping and yo ur trill
Each pretty little fellow; The finch, the master, opes his bill, To sing us music mellow.
I know just what he says, I think"Let's get a drink, let's get a dr i nk!"
So runs his si n g i ng merry"l'm getting thirsty, very!"
-"CHA P ."
Was there ever an equa l to this? One evening not long ago a certai n young man visited a young lady, in the southern part of the ci ty. He stayed and stayed, and continued to stay after many hints that it was time to go home. Fi nally the girl slipped outdoors and stopped t h e next car, then came in and sa id that the car was wait· ing for him . He went.

THE S. I. S. HAYRACK R I DE .
On the thirteenth of October, The Senior girls agreed To have a hayrack party And a little evening feed.
And so a small committee Was appointed by the chair To carry on the business Of this wonderful affair.
The members all assembled In number fifty strong, With Helen Mitchell, president, Of all this goodly throng.
The S I. S. or Senior girls Procured for their ride
Two hayracks from a nearby farm, And farmer's two, beside.
So onward on their way they went With many a shout and song, The people on the way cllcl stop To see them pass along.
And when they reached the lighting plant Some distance from the town, They took their baskets in their hands And quickly all jumped down.
They spread their suppers on the grass, And eagerly did they devour What they had brought from home so far And stayed-but one short hour.
And when the supper all was gone Tbey proceeded on their way, And merrily did jolt along All seated on the hay.
So through the moonlit even tide They wandered far and nearA happy, carefree band of girls Beneath the sli:y so clear.
But when they reached the town again. One hayrack disappeared The other rattled o'er the streets Until the school was neared.
From there all went upon their way But ere their parting they did talte From all the i r friends and comrades clear, They gave on yell for S: I: s: 's sake. -E. B., '06.
HOW A CERT AI N PERS ON LEA R NE D TO RIDE A WHEEL.
" Possibly the rumor that I have gone dead, grew out of the fact that I have learned to ride a bicycle. I say 'have learned,' not 'am learning.' Learned in one lesson all by myself Went out in the moonlight the other night, after taking good care that no one was looking. Led my bicycle out on the turnpike. It's a young bicycle -a colt-foaled in '98. Would give the name, but for the fact that I had to pay for the wheel. Will only say, therefore, that it is not the wheel anybody says it is.
I held him by the withers, right in the middle of the road, and mounted without assistance. I dismounted in the same independent fashion. Got on again and proceeded to break him to the saddle.
Did I ride the first time? Well, say! People have told me-liars of all ages and both sexesthat I couldn't fa ll , if, when I felt myse lf I would stick out my feet. I stucll: out both feet and both hands and lit on my head. I fell on one side of that diabolical wheel and then on the other; I fell on both sides at once; I fell on top of it, ai;Ld beneath it, and made 'clog falls' with it. I fell between the wheels; I fell behind the hind wheel and before the front wheel at the same time and I don't lmow yet how I did it. I fell and thrust both legs through the SJ?okes of one wheel. I met a terrified man in a buggy and drove him clear off the road into a hedge at the side, and I don't think he has come back yet.
Every time I fell off I slapped the palms of my raw, swollen, throbbing hands on the hard 'in· elastic pike, except the time I fell on my head. I fell harder and with greater variety of landing, than any man could fall, unless he dropped out of a baloon and lit in a load of furniture. I lost ;ny confidence, my patience, my temper, ITIY clamps, lamps, bell and reputation. I broke one pedal, the saddle, and the ordinance against loud, profane and abusive l anguage at night. J. ran into everything in sight, except the midd l e of the (Uonlinued to page 5)

While the football seaso n is not yet over a nd iio one should stop supporting the team, we think it is time to give some attention to debate. There was a t im e when this branch of
school lif e h e ld a much more prominent place in the L. H. S. than it does at pres e nt. This is an interest which is more ope n to the whole school than ath l etics, for those who are physically unable to take an active part in ath letics can do as much as anyone in debate.

In debating c la s s es the grammar is closely watched a n d a ll mistakes pointed out and critici s ed. In making briefs , the corect form is required, so lhat we are taught to make neat and concise papers . The last point, is the ab ili ty to think on one's feet and express one's se lf before an audience. Co n ti nu a l prac tice is g iven in th i s line both in the debating societies and in classes. One of the greatest faults of p upil s is the ir inability to speak, int e lli gently and fluently in public.

The Seniors held their regular meeting Fri· day after the Fourth period in Room 202. There was a very good attendance and several matters of great interest to Seniors were discussed . Miss Wilson read a very interesting class paper. A motion was passed to elect two editors in the future, an editor-in-chief and an associate. Mr. Moseley gave an excellent tall' on the Seniors speaking in chapel. He urged that more interesting matter be chosen for these talks, as it would give the school a better opinion of the class. Richard Webster with Anne Thomas as his associate was elected editor for the class paper next week. The meeting adjourned at about 4:15.
JUNIORS
The Junior class held its regular meeting in Room 103. Vice President Nettie Holcomb, owing to the absence of the president, presided.

A new Program Committee consisting of Mecia Stout, chairman; Hazel Snell and Harry Stults, was appointed. Important matters are being decided in class meetings, come and have a voice in them.
SOPH OMORES
The Class of '08 held their regular meeting in Room 33. Resoltuions were passed to the effect that the class would not uphold any member who should make any disturbance at the Freshman party. They adjourned to the auditorium where a very interesting program was held, consisting of the following:

The question was: Reso l ved, "That the municipal government of Lincoln should own and operate the gas wori\S in this city." The affirmative s ide consisted of Dick Paddock and Dick Webster, the negative being Don Trueblood and Stanfie l d Wells. Much spirit was shown and some good points were bro u ght up.

A THANKSGIVING DINNER.
Young Turkey Gobbler, with highly arched head, at his mates gat h e ring round; " Tomorrow's Thanksg i ving," h e ea rnestly said, "And not one of us must be found; Fer 1 heard the farmer te ll his wife
That he wau l d only kill threeAnd all Lbe while he sharpened his knife He kept his eye on me "Forewarned is foreamred"-a saying old; Come. let's hide!" he said.

Th en l\. ·ss Yellow Pumpldn rolled downhill Bruising her dainty self.
And didn't come to her sen"es until There were twelve golden pies on the shelf.
"T won1ler what they are trying to do?"

"If we're to he pnre:l and cut in two, I think it's a shame an<l sin !
An<l only thinl·-to be wrapperl in dough, And put over a l'ettle of steam!
And now comes the very worst of it, thoughTo be eaten-with sugar and cream!"
The Potatoes and Onions, the Turnips and Squash Got into a r eg ular flutter,
Wh en t he farmer' ·s wife gave each a tasle
Of the very same of butter. ·
"How can I stand it," Sir Table said; And he groaned as if in pain
"Oh dear, I would be reall y g l ad
If Thanksgiv in g ne'er came again."
" Oh , me! oh, m e ! " and h e groaned the more
As the children took their places; But smili n g l y his lo ad he bore Wben he saw their happy faces. -Selected.

EDIT ORIAL
We are about to celebrate one of the great national holidays, one toward which everyone looks with great j-oy and expectation. But how many people are there who know how, when
a n d where this year l y ce l ebration started In o ur country? The ear l iest Thanksg i ving in America was l\ept by the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1621. They had had a successful voyage and their first "rop :; had done we l l. It was held off and on until the Rev-olu ti on when Congr ess recommended that it be made an annual event. Washington appointed such a day in 1789 after the adoption of the Cons tit ution. Ever since 1863 the presidents have always issued proclamations appointing the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day.
It is with great pleasure that we receive the news of Dr. Wolfe's return to Linco ln. Most of us, all in fact , except the Class of '09 r emem ber the man who was the principle -of our school a few years ago, the man who upheld athletics and helped make our teams victorious; and the person who took an interest in everything and gave the school their first self-government. The school as a who l e and especially the Clas·s of '06 w e lcome Dr. H. K. Wolfe's return. He always said that he w as one of the '06's since he took charge of the school when that class entered.

Lines-Upon seeing a certain fa m ous drop-kick. Rah! Hah! But look! A fumble! Have we lost The ball? Where is it now? Ah, there it Jie s.
The g ods be praised! 'Tis ours! And yet, what cheer?
The time flies fast The struggles' nearly done. The sun d e scending marks the close of day. While the goa l pos ts still are fifty yards away.
All afternoon, right royal battle ' s raged Before the Lleachers jammed,-all loyalty.
Our b o ner still do heroes brave defe n d; Our boner, the most precious in the l and. Oh Heave ns! But one minute left to play, And the goa l pos ts still are fift;v yards away
And see them standing, sturdy warriors all, unmoved amid the thunderous wave·s of sound. They a ll have rep u tations to sustain.
Their gore they've split on many a hard fought fie l d .
In them our fitfu l fortune now doth lay, And the goal posts still are fifty yards away.
And quickly now each hero takes his p l ace, lli'hile there goes up one l ong continuou s cheer. All lmow their cherished honor is at stake, And too, their school's, which surely i s much more . And so, for luck and fortunes all do pray, For the goal posts still are fifty yards away
But now a sudden hush falls on the crowd, The signal's given; the ball is seen to pass.
Watch him! He drops it with such careful hand, And, on the instant as it leaves the ground, He swings with all his fi e rce, terrific force, And drives it far o*er ou t s t retched hands It flies Ris ing in cres e nt true and ·s urt as't may, And hurdles o 'er the goa l posts, yards away.
Our cri es and yells seem near to shake the earth, And deafening cheers rise in the evening air, Our flags and penants flaunt most valiantly. The fire of victory gleams in every eye. This is our High School sp i rit,-splrit real; To it old L. H. S. holds victory due, A l though there's but a moment left to play, With the goal posts fifty yards away. _L. W. B., '06.

WHO IS IT?
Johnnie was a little boy, Who lived in Lincoln fair, He'd been his mother's only joy, H e' d been brought up with care.
One day he bought himself some glasses, And spared no pair or care, In trying to catch all the lasses, By oiling his red hair.
His pants had legs like bloomers big, His hat was "ping-pong" cute, His walk was something like a gig, He made a dandy loot.
A sweater bright and red be bought, He bought his "cheroots" by the gross, "I'm the · only one," he thought, I'll profit at the world's Joss."
He started into Lincoln High He thq!lght he'd' have a dandy cinch, His Latin r Qften made him cry, He pass e d his at just a pinch.
He found that life was not so As he'd imagined it to be, H e found h e' d hav e to work at last, Or else b e satisfied with "D."

(Translated from "Frau Holde!')
(Continued from a Previous Is·sue. )
My happiness has fled, ah me ! The birds I neither hear nor see 1\Iucb more than fiowers, brooks and trees, The church-roof with my mood agrees, That rises fro:n the green nearlJy And lifts its spire towarJ the sl,y. For where the church towers are, The tavern too is seldom far.
And, as I hesitate, and frown, And count my buttons up and crown, If I shall leave the comfort here, And hie me to the village nearSuddenly I hear a "shrum, shrum, Like a bass viol's rumbling hum, And gazing o'er the gra.sy leve l 'l'o see whence comes the sound of revel, There meels my sight a May pole fair, Rising amid the balmy air.
I thank you for your 'Shady rest, You pine trees and you grasses; But now I go, as a thirsty guest, 'To well-filled pitchers and glasses. I thank you for your voices sweec, \Vee birds above me playing; But fife and flute cl ang call my feet, To walch the merry Maying.
And here's this stout old cane of m i ne, How oft I've leaned upon it! I'll pick a little sprig of pine, And place it in mv bonnet And now I hear confusion gay, And shouts and clear-toned laughter; They 're dancing through the first of May, And I must follow after.
"CHAP."
A man was trying to explain to his friend w h at a mirac l e was and he asked, "If a man fell out of an upper story window on to a stone sidewalk and did not hurt himself, what wou l d you call that?"
'l' he otb.er replied, "An accident."
"But i f he did it again, what wou l d you call it then?"
"Why then I wo uld call it a hab i t."

In the last few years many impor t ant questions of reform have been agitated One of th e questions now before the public is that of football. Every days during the season we heard of some players being ei t her severe ly injured on even killed. At the end of the season t hese results are summed up by some one and spread broadcast over the country. From the last season the report showed a list of 19 deaths and over a hundred bad injuries. As soon as the public sees this, it ris e s against football as being brutal. It h; true that the game is rough and causes many hard bumps, bu t it causes no more actual deaths than other sports. This was shown by a prominent educator in one of the Eastern colleges. He secured report s from the heads of all important institutions in which football was played, m; to t he number of students playing, the number of accidents, injuries and deaths. Among more than twenty thousand players there was only one death really traceable to football. Now there were over a dozen casualities attributed to this popular spor t. Upon close and accurate observation, however, all bu t one of these deaths were in part or wholly due to some other cause, as disea·sed or weak organs, previous injuries, etc. Figures show that other sports kill or maim as many or · more persons than that great game which is now threatened with abolishment in many places in the United States.
Homer Gibson the young Kansas City Manual football player who was se verely injured in our last game is im.proving steadily. Few persons realize how serious his condition has been. For many days he was only semi-conscious, noticing very little about him. He is able to talk some now, although he is very weak The students of the High School unite in wishing for his complete recovery.

Mr. Dwyer. Charles Bennett , Fred Marconnit and Alice Mockett were chosen for the first team. Homer Aylesworth and Marvin Levy for the second team.
Charles Benn e tt represented our school last year on the team which debated agains t B e atrice and has had mor e experience than any member of the t eam. These who have heard Charles debate need no introduction.
Fred Marconnit although the young es t member probably that has ever maue the team has shown remarkable ability in the line of debate and the school can rely upon him as a good representative.
Alice Mockett has shown a marl,ed ability in the line of debate and the girls may proudly look upon her as a good representative. We all know she will do her best.
The team as a whole possesses excellent debating abilities. It is united in spirit and has only one object in view-that is to repr e sent t heir school the best they can.
It is hoped that old L. H. S. will , after her successful year in athletics, make a clear record in debate, which she has failed t o do for so long, B e atrice has probably the s trongest debat ing t e a:n in t he sta te and they make it their stronghold.
Now our team is compos ed wi t h new, but good material and with Mr Cronin, the bes t coach in the country, we may hopefully look for a victory.

Just in rul e and in ea ch li t tle thing, H e lov e d his country so
So bus y was he with matters or state, A nd of his good count1·y, He never had time (0 sad to relate) His own childr e n to see
It happened once as she wa l k e d along A ' little child he saw
The little lad in a voice quite strong Was crying for his rna.
" We ll , well , little man," the good king said, "And how ' is it with you?
Lest you r rna! Well that surely is sad. Now what am I to do?"
I'll just carry you home t o my frau (Li k e her there is no o t her)
And she 'll care for you and perhaps may know who is your good mother.
And hastening ere the light grew dim His homeward way he made
When s t ill far away, she espied him, And th is is what she said:
"Ho! Our little Benjamin is gone Hast s een aught of the child?"
" No. But I bring one I have just found " He won d ered why sh e smiled
Sh e lau ghed outright till she fairly cried "That is our own little Ben"

KRIS KRINGLE ' S SURPRISE.
With heavy pack upon his back, And smies upon his face, Kris Kringle waded thr ough t he snow And went at rapid pace
His sack that made him sweat and tug Was stuffed with pretty toys, And up and down throughout the town
He sought the girls a nd boys.
Not l o ng before, within one door, One Little Johnny Street, By lucky chance got in t o pants, And grew ab out two feet.
On Christmas eve h e asked for l eave
To hang upon a peg
Th e woolen stockings he had worn, with its l engthy leg.
The cunning boy, on joy all his heart was bent, And for old Kringle's packages
With a ll his might he went.
In b i g ·surprise Kris Kringle's eyes
Stuck out and stared around, Fo r two such stock in gs as those were He ne 'er before had found.
He thought he'd never get them full, They were so strangely deep; So, standing there upon a chair, He took a hasty peep:
Young Johnny Street, the little cheat, Had watched his lucky chance, And to the stockings, at the top, Had pinned his pair of pants.

Th e actual worth of t h e constitution got into discussion and was brou g ht befor e the student body Much in t erest w as shown by th e students in their efforts to m a k e others see as they did. Those who wanted a change argued that at pr e sent ther e was no power and that little or no good , other than th e practice in parliamentary drill, could b e obtained from the pr e sent system On the opposite s i de the sp e ak e r s put forth th e arguments that we had some power and had not shown ourselv e s ab l e to us e i t , let alone asking for more.

THE FARMER B O Y WIT H THE MULE.
A farmer boy once went to a show That came to a town call e d Broken Bow, He bought a ticket and passed right in With stately stride and a happy grin.
Ee saw the camel, the birds and beasts And w ns g iven a sample cake of yeast. He saw a great big lion eat And then went in and took a seat.
Pretty soon the show began, The horses round a big ring ran, The actors and clowns their stunts performed And the clumsy elephants strange figures formed.
A man brought out a mule, named Maud And said that this was not at all a fraud, He ·said that any one who rode the mule Should have ten dollars. "Here it is on this stool."
The farmer boy he yelled right out, "That he could ride a mule with the gout," He climbed on the mu l e with very much grace And hung on so tight you couldn't see his face.
The man cracked his whip and the mule did run And the crowd stood up to see the f u n. The boy hung on for quite a while, And then lit on a clown, all in a pile.
The ringmaster merrily smiled As off from the clown the farmer boy piled. The man said he was very game, Picked up the ten dollars-gave him half of the same.' · J. H., '06.

THE MOUSE AND THE CAT.
Once there wa·s a small gray mouse , Who lived in an old, old house; Where there also lived a cat, Whcs e chi e f policy was that E:e would chase the mice away When they ran about in play.
This old cat loolied very wise
When he blinked his big gray eyes. But little mouse was somewhat sly And often dodged his. watchful eye
But one night, alas to say, Miss Mouse forgot and passed his way .
Then sudden ly up jumped the cat
And Mousie's heart went pitty-pat
Sh e d a shed away, the sprightly elf And dar t ed toward the pantry shelf.
But th e re directly in her way
S t eed a big brown jar of curdled whey.
The mouse with one mad leap and dash
Fell in the whey with an awful splash, And the cat in his maddening chase Paus e d at t be jar with wond'ring f a ce.
And placing his paws upon the rim
Wi t h searching look peered vexed-ly in.
He look e d and looked and looked in vain, For the mouse that never rose again . For she, in trying to evade the cat, Had jumped into her own death tray . And the cat unable to find his prey Skulked disappointedly away.

" Well, boys, this 'u'd be jest like old time if only the lnjuns 'u'd come 'round and yell a bit. I tell you what, we pioneers have learned what trouble means but after all we was happy. And I'd as lief start over and go through the hull thing agin. It see ms migh t y good to get this little remembrancer of them good times, when we heerd the wolves howl and the red men skeerd us out of our lives every night. 'Member thet time the squaw warned you to get out, Bill? "
Bill's sunken, faded eyes lit up as he rose from his reclining position against a rock, and the firelight played over his face. "Huh, you wanted to go yerself, Bud, just as much as me You was jest as s ;;:eerd, now wer e n't you?"
" You know what thet youngun did, boys," c o n t inued Bud, turning to the o t her recliners who seemed all legs, for their heads were back in the shadows.

"S t ory about the Walla Walla massacre where Witman was killed." continued Bud, utterly ignoring the interruption. "I 'spose you've heerd of it. Most everybody in this part of the world did. But maybe you didn't hear It from headquarters, the way I did."
"You know when I first come out here I lived a little while up there in the Walla Walla country. The Injuns wandered 'round a lo t then and the only one I ever knowed was 1m-budgea-reo, or how ever you say it. I never could get the hang of them Injun names

For the last two months the question of selfgovernment under the present constitution in the High School has caused much discussion by
students and patrons of the school. It was known that only a small part of the pupils were taking an active part in the workings of the school according to the constitution, but few per· sons realized that there was such a spirit of indifference as was shown in the gen(lral assembly on January 9. At that meeting only about one hundred out of the whole eleven hundred students seemed to have any definite opinions or views on the subject The committee which was appointed before vacation to confer with J)r. Sanders and see if arrangements could be made whereby the students would have more actual power, reported that no more power could be obtained. The matter of keeping the constitution was then discussed. There were speakers on both sides and several lengthy talks were made. After much wrangling and beating aruund the bush a motion was put and passed that we do not give up the constitution This will probably tnake matters quiet for a while at least.
The Advocate told last yeflr of the very bad behavior of the class of 1909 soon after it entered the school. We were about to tell of the marked improvement in this class when all our new founded hopes for the innocents, composing the class of '09, were shattered by the unusual disorders in their section during the general assembly last week. The members talked, laughed, jumped up in their seats and caused general disorder in the gallery. The president of the school repeatedly asked them to be quiet and keep order. Some even had the audacity to whistle during the speeches. It is true that others than Freshies sit in the gallery, but it is the duty of the class to keep them out or to ask the assistance of the other classes .

Each witness took the stq.nd in his own behalf, all having neglected to obtain an attorney Near the end of the session of the court, however, Charles Bennett appeared in defense of Alonzo Farrow, Ray Kibler and Max Woo dard, who, as a result of his plea ding received the light sentence of occupying seats in the first row of their
respective sections. The o t her boys were sus· pended from chapel for a time. Another trial will be held soon to take up the more serious offenses of those who failed to appear before the court when ordered.
BIG HEART
(Continued from last number.) , "Anyhow, when I come back in thet n eighbor· hood, ' bout a year later, I was kind of interested to know how he got along. So I went to Para· dise Grove; thet's the name they put to the bunch of white's shanties up in them parts, though why called it thet I never could make out, for the only thing up there like a grove is t he darndest little neck of woods that ever growed."
"Well, when I come along, I seed there was something doing, for the villagers was a shooting to beat the band. I passed a man riding like mad, kicking up a derned lot of dtist; I asked him what was up and yelled, 'Injuns , murder,' and chased on like they was trying to murder him. I found out . afterwards he was going for the troops.
"When I got near, the firing was stopped and the folks was gathered in one of the shanties, talking to a couple of Injuns. I walked right on ln. Then I reco-nized my old friend, Big Heart, and he knowed me, too The other Injun was a kind of sad but desperate looking chap.
"Before I could jest make out what was happening a miserable white cur, darn him , Try Our
· knocked Big Heart's friend in the head and killed him then and there. I was mighty hot and said so, too, and that brute said he'd crack my skull, too, if I didn't shet up.
"I jumped onto him. good to;ve choked him. It 'u'd have done me But Big Heart pulled me of!', calling, 'No, no, no, no fight.' Then one of them others yelled, 'You fool, get out of this,' and pushed me out.
"I hung 'round till they scattered, and then found B'g Heart, and started with him to the camp. I asked if his fulks 'u5d kill me if I walked home with him. He smiled thet gentle, sad smile of his and said, 'Red man, he love gqod white brother. No hurt good white brother.'
"So I walked along and got him to tell me the whole story by the time we come to the camp . It seems thet jest after Whitman got there, they got the measles or something. (You needn't laugh, fellows. I tell you the measles ain't no joke when you get 'em bad like I did.) They called it a plague. It killed lots of 'em and they were all sick. It got worse and worse so they called all their medicine men together to find out what made it.
"Thet Whitman had made 'em all stay right there in one spot for a year, and he just would stay with them They'd never settled down fur so long before and I suppose it didn't agree with 'em. Poor Big Heart said the only way his folks had stood the folks at the Grove was by wandering of!' so much thet they needn't see 'em but twice a year. They'd never so much as seed the sight of sickness before thet fool began to pester them. So it was natural their wise men thought that the missionary had considerable to do with the plague.
"Well, this meeting said thet Whitman had brought it and it 'u'd stay till he got out. So they sent and asked ·him to go. He stayed right on-never said a thing about leaving.
"Then a fellow, named Wapou, couldn't stand it any longer. Thought he'd kill him of!' if he couldn't get him of!' n:o other way. Big Heart spoke as if he was a tyrrible hot headed brave, but, I tell you what, he had some right to be hot headed. If one of us had seen our good woman die and a son just old enough to join the war band, all the family we'd got, I guess we'd 've thought we had a right to kill the cuss thet we believed had killed them.
"Big Heart was skeerd thet Wapou, being reckless, 'u'd do something rash. But he thought there must a been some mistake, cause he didn't believe Whitman 'u'd jest stay right there and kill all the people if he knowed what he was doing. Se he went to see him and begged him to leave. But thet missionary was as stubborn as he was full of religion. Then Big Heart went to Wapou and when he had done his best to quiet him left.
"Thet night Wapou killed Whitman. When the villagers heerd about it, they was most wild, so skeerd . A lot of 'em got out their rifles and went out toward the camp. Some got stationed 'round the town to keep out these 'turrible bloodthirsty red devils.' Till ten the next morning they kept a shooting all the Injuns they could. Of course the red men tried to defend themselves. Then the chief begged them not to fight because there were so many 'white braves,' he said, (I'd call 'em white cowards) and there was onl y 'bout fifty Injun braves so thet it 'u'd be useless.
"At his asking, they sent him and thet same Wapou to the village under a flag of trust, or the 'peace wave,' as they called it, to ofl'er to do anything the whites wa.nted them to. So they come and talked to a council of the vii· lagers. I'd how the white folks had treated Wapou under his 'peace wave.'
"Big Heart felt turrible 'bout it 'cause of the death of his friend and 'cause he thought ·maybe his people ·'u'd . be so mad thet they'd fight anyway; and thet 'u'd 've meant the death of all of 'em.
"The viilagers had told Big Heart thet the troops was coming to fight 'em if they didn't give up two of their braves so as they could hang 'em as the murderers of Whitman. When Big Heart told 'em thet Wapou had done it all, they said he was a liar. So the chief said thet two of 'em, though they was innicent, 'u'd have to go and die to save the rest of 'em.
"I said I didn't think no Injun 'u'd do thet, but Big Heart wasn't skeerd of thet. 'My braves love their tribe,' he said.
"When we'd reached camp I come back to the Grove. The last thing he'd said was, 'No good fight. Fifty red men's braves; hundreds white braves. No good fight.' I felt mighty sorry for him.
"Well, 'bout ten thet night I heerd a lot af

howling. I'd put up at the hotel and was sound a s leep when this roar begin. I hustled out and seed a gr e at mob down in the center of Main street. A fire in the middle and, when I begun to get the sleep out of my eyes, I seed a new wood scaffold had been set up and two men hung down in the flames . One was the chief. The o t her was another Injun thet looked something like him. He was twitching and writhing. But the chief was calm, almost peaceful. Boys, I never seed no one thet looked more like he was · seeing heaven than that chief.
"All the time those · flames kep' creeping up, he looked straight ahead with thet same sad, kind, smile and the same, steady but troubled eyes. They was dark and they jest shined out there in the night. I 'spose you'd say it was jest the fire light but I knowed I seed thet man's heart right there in his eyes, a shining through. I could see the wondering helplessness thet couldn't understand the meanness of the whites, the appealing look for mercy and kindness for his people, all his sorrow for his suff-ring tribe, and a sweet, pure light, thet meant love for e v erything thet's good.
"Pretty soon he caught my eye and smiled a little more, jest like he' d smile when he said, 'Injun braves love their tribe.' Then I knowed h e was right.
"Bime-bye all thet loving light thet made his eyes shine was gone, and I knowed thet his soul had flown right up to heaven. But even now when his eyes was dark, his lips smiled and you could almost think they trembled a little, like a little child's, wondering at the unkindness of the world. Then the flames went out, and I just sat right down there, and thought awhile
a death like thet, so as there'd be peace. An d ever since thet night I've had a diff'rent and sort of respec ' ful feeling for Injuns.'' · "Huh," sneerd Bill "Don't be so darned sentimental. You needn't waste yer sympathy on them red devils. They don't have feelings like ourn, Bud. They aren't really men like we be.''
"How do you know," asked Bud.
"Huh ," exclaimed Bill, "huh.''

Beginning with this number of 'The Advocate i t shall be our constant endeavor to get out a first class, up-to-date High School pape r We shall strive to retain the high standard this pape r has enjoyed in the past years, and i mprove itif possib l e. In order to accomp lish this we ask

A PRESSING NEED.
A mo ng the many needs of Li nc o ln High Schoo l is more room. The scarcity of suitable rooms is parti cu l ar l y noticeable since the introduction of th e four period system, as it is now necessary to prov i de room for practically all the students at one time . Near l y a ll the rooms are overcrowded and i n many it is found necessary t o crowd two students into one s:ngle seat. This state of affairs makes it ev i dent that as soon as t h e e nrollment i s materially i ncreased, more room must be provided. Lincoln needs another High School building, for our present quarters are not only ovetcrowded, but many of the rooms n ow in use arc not w e ll adapted for study or teaching. The li ght and arrangement are such that the best results cannot be obtained. For the future good of the school, and in the interest of education in Linco l n, i t is hoped that the school authorities will see their way c l ear to provide the· High School with more suitable buildings-buildi n gs that shall be a credit to Lincol n and her schoo l system.
OBIT U ARY.
On Monday, January 28, 6cc u rred the death of our sc hoolmate , Dae Williams His sudden death was a severe shock to his many friends as we ll as a great l oss to the High School.
Dae was born in April, 1889, at Emerson ,' Neb. His parents moved to Lin co l n in 1904 and Dae entered the High School at the beginning of the spring semester . He was one of the brightest students in t h e schoo l , always standi n g n ear the head of his classes H e was a member of the class of 1908.
The funeral service was held at the family home, 2804 T street last Wedp esday. Dr . B. M. Long, who conducted the services, paid a l ov ing trlbute to the memory of the boy, whom he referred to as being dignified, manly, intelligent, and industrious. The remai n s were la i d to rest in Wyuka Cemetery. Although D ae W ill iams has gone from among us he will lohg be remembered by his many friends in the High School, who extend their h eart fe lt sympathy t o t h e be r eaved f am il y. •

For the benefit of our many patrons, the treasurer of the L. H. S. Athletic ' Association, herewith submits for Inspection the association accounts up to the end of the first semester. An endeavor has been made to make this report as brief as possible without running separate accounts together. . All accounts are completely and concisely itemized on the books, which are at all times open to public inspection.
· Several unauthorized accounts, and one incorrect account still remain outstanding. A few bills contracted by High School students and later found difl'icult to collect from such students were shrewdly charged against our athletic association.
c a n , however, not hold ourselves liable for the p a ymen t of any such claims, and mu st positively r e fus e to honor any bills which we have not contrac t ed ourselves or given specific orders for. All such orders are signed by both the Athletic Direc t or and Student Manager.

ATHLETIC REFORM MEASURES.
The wave of football reform which has swept over the country from east t o west has at last reached us. The members of the board of education have recently atempted to reform some abus e s wh ich they believe to exist here. Whether or not their action will bring abo ut any needed reform i's a question which only time and experience can answer . If the game of football is bettered in any way, if it is made less dangerous, i f ther e is graft in the management and the reform proposed can do away with it, then the ac t ion of the members of the board is commendable and it is the duty of eve ry lover of t he game of football, and oth er athletics, in t his school and e ls ewhere to support them in their action. If on the other hand our athletic management i's and has been free from graft, if it has stood for what is good in amateur athletics, if the rules as adopted do not greatly l essen the dangers of the game, the n it is a self-e vident fact that the action taken was not onl y useless, but unfair to the students of this school. The students feel that the r e should be some material gain in order t o compensate for the loss of the management of our athletic affairs, for by the new rules the control of athletic s is taken out of the hands of the Athletic Association and placed in the hands of a board composed of faculty and student members, with the faculty members in t h e majority.
So it is evident that from this time on, this school interest will follow the policy of t h e principal and board of education rather than that of the student organization known as the Athletic Association. · Even if the rules as laid down by the board do no t seem to reach the tihngs that are generally considered to be the worst features of football namely , danger to life and limb of the players, and the demoralizing effect on the spectators, and although the management of their ath l etic affairs ha s practically been denied to the students, nevertheless tr.e thanks of the school are due to those who supported football and made it possible for us to retain the game at all for
i t has been evide n t for some time past that ll!Ome of the school authorities are strongly opposed to ath le tics, particularly football, and seemed willing to fol"c e tha t interest out of the scnool.
ADVICE TO YOUNG SPEAKERS
When Cice ro got up to speak,
Do you think they could see his knees shake?
Could they see him turn pale?
Did his stock of words fall?
From his speech ; I should say he did not.
Did his eyes seek the floor as in fright?
No in deed-t hey gleamed out like a light.
Was his voice soft and low?
Did he speak very slow?
No. He bellowed with all of his might.
Did jl.e stop when he thought he was done?
No! He kept the whole place on the run.
And he stopped at the time W h en they'd a ll l eft the house
And the moon shone in stead of the sun.

During the t alk of Professor Jones of the Univ e rsit y on the subjec t " Life at Oxford, " the order in chapel was very bad. It was not confined to any on e ae c t ion or g roup of students, but was £ en er al all ove r th e room, and was the most disg r a c e ful tr ea tment th at has b e en shown to any speake r in chapel this year. In fact, it is the opinion of m a ny tha t th e ac t ion of the students wa s the worst example of anarchy and discourtes y in place of self-government and courteBy that has b een shown in th e chapel for a long time. Such conduct is a disgrac e to the High School and t o e v er y member of the school. It is not only discourteous to the speaker but if it is often repeat e d we will find i t difficult to get outsiders to app e ar before us in chapel. If such conduct is to be cont inued under our self-government, then the soon e r that we g e t back to he eighth grade plan of k e eping order the better.
OUR CHAPEL AS SEEN BY A SENIOR
The morning chapel is the place where the pupil's show the training they have received in court es y and behavior. It is surprising how many pupils ar e deficient in good manners and how many ar e discour te ous Not only when one of our own members is on the platform, but even when outsiders consent to speak to us or entert ain us the discourtesy is shown. There is a continuous din and babble going on, some pupils talking out loud , some scraping and stamping their feet so th a t none of the audience except those sitting in the front seats can hear anything. This is discourte ous to th e students who want to hear and to visitors who come in and try to . hear, but especially to those on the platform. L

SENIOR SKIP-DAY.
One of the pleasant est days wllich the Senior cl as s h a s enjoyed was experiencea last Wednesd ay wh en the entire clas s laid aside t heir school w or k a nd s allied forth from the school on the am1 ual s k ip-day, an ev e n t which has been obse r ve d for som e ye ars past by the Senior class. Thi s ye ar the entire S e nior clas s skipped school and spen t the day in pursuit ot pleasure.
This ev e nt is one of the important affairs of t h e· Seni or y ear and one which is looked forward to from the time a class enteMI the school until i t h a s taken its place as a Senior class and has p ull e d off this important affah: This is a cust om which is looked upon with favor by nearly a ll, t h e f aculty included, as highly proper and b eneficial to the school, and It certainly is enjo y ed b y the Seniors if we are to judge by the nois y clatter and other !ndicatiuns of hllarity which were heard about t he school grounds and o t h e r parts of the city. May the 'senior classes in the fu t ure continue to observe the custom of s kip-d ay and may they enjoy themselves as the class of ' 06 did last Wednesday.
HOW NEW YORK CLERGYMEN SWEAR.
(From the New York Tim es.)
A new York clergyman some few weeks ago was pla y ing golf on the links of the Mount Airy clug, n ear Phlladelphia.
In the course of the game he drove Into a bunker , where upon his partner h e ard him exclaim : " Croton! "
Th e latter did not understand but said noth ing Shortly afterward, upon slic ing his ball into the long grass the clergyman again ejaculated " Croton! "
What do you mean by that word "Croton" Mr R ?" inquired his partner. " It sounds like a s wear word "
" No,' ' said the reverend gentleman, "but it express es my feelings exactly."
" How so?"
"Why, it represents the biggest dam in the wo r ld."

The S. H . S. (Shamokin, P a.) contains an excell e nt cut of the ir football team.

The paper is criticised on cn ntaining too rriany school notes and not material-founding this criticism on the fact that it is not interesting to outsiders. It is all ri g ht " to criticis e for not having enough literary material, but for "heavens sake," don't make such a foundation for your criticism, for a paper is supposed to please its school and not the outsiders.

As several prominent lights of the clas s were out and as Archibald H.

One of t he many things which we desire to im p r es s u p on t l:). e stud e n t s of the Hi g h School is t h e obli gatio n which they are under to p a tronize the firm s who adverti se in our paper. If it were n ot for t h e fin a ncial support which the business me n giv e us in the way of advertising, it would be impo ss ibl e t o get out a weekly pap e r at anywh er e n ea r th e pric e for which this pap e r has b ee n i ss u e d for the l a:st y e ar or so. To patronize th e firms who gi v e us th e ir ads would cost you nothing in mon e y and very little in effort. It simpl y would m ean that you tr a nsfer your patronag e fr o m fir m s who do no t think th e int e r e sts of the H i gh Sc h oo l wor t h t h e ir no tice to peopl e who r eg ul a rl y pay us consid e r a bl e sums for a dve·rtisin g : If all th e studen t s will stop to think this m a t te r ov er t h e y will r e adily s e e that it is their duty and t o th e ir own int e r e sts whenever possible to p a t roni ze those busin e ss houses who help us by t he i r adv e rti se ments
B e c a u s e of some misund e rstandings and mist akes in printing the names of the edit ors of the v a rious soci e ties, we ask that all societ y notes b e signed by the e ditor. This will insure a correct copy and also give the credit to the one to whom it belongs.
It was a great surprise to the citizens of Lincoln the other day when they lea:rned of the ideals of the High School students. The fact is that the students lowered themselves in their dignity to t he l eve l of grad e students. We hate to think th a t High School students would indulge in the little f e llows ' game of snowballing the citizens as they walk e d along on public highways. Students you have done more harm to yourselves in the few minut e s when you indulged in a little fun than you can build up in a year. Students never ask for self-government when you have not the moral courage to keep your selves in order.
Since th e Freshies have been expelled from chapel a decided improvement has been noticed.

GIRLS' DEBATING SOCIETY
The Girls ' Debating Society held their regular meeting Wednesday in Room 22 After a short business meeting Miss Lo t tie Vodenburg read a very interesting pap e r on the Panama Canal. Wedn es day, February 28 an open meeting will be held in the auditorium after the Fourth period A very entertaining program will be furnish e d. All are welcome.
MUSIC
The Glee Club will render a few selections in t h e concert. We have had very fine music in chapel lately and the ' stud ents seem to appreciate it better than they did. And we shall have singing more in ch a pel if the students will help Th e classes in harmony are having ve r y hard work but are doing well.
S. I. S. NO TES
Regular meeting was held Tuesday after the Fourth period. The debate was taken up and
wa s: R eso lved, That boys were more obstinate than girls. I t was d e cided that the girls would occupy t h e back rows in the Senior section for a time All come to our meeting. You don't know what you miss.
EXCHANQE.S lril
To tem : You lack material. More literary work, jokes and cuts, I believe would make a better pap e r Exchan g e editor don ' t fall into that bad habit of h ea ding a list of exchanges, "We wish to ac knowledge the following exchanges "
Whether it means that the freshies make all the discuss e d and finally voted upon. The res u lt noise or the other classes fear they will be expelled, i s h a rd to tell. But if the fr es hies have to stay away from chapel, a great many of them do not care, and say they would rather study anyhow, beca u se · half of the time chapel is not at all inter e sting and no t worth climbing up all those s t ai r s to h ear. Perhaps if those poor little fr e shies knew what they missed Friday morning they would begin to be a littl e sorry that they couldn't come and en joy th e good programs we do have, and probably by th e end of the week, when the fr es hi es come back they will be the best class in schoo l.
High School Record your paper lacks in many r espects thi s month. Your cover design is poor, paper is poor, no cuts and no literary material. Your paper would be bette r by far if you would do away with t he expe nse of a cover and put it on t he quality of paper on which th e mat e rial is printed.
The Hi g h School Chronicle (Ottawa, Ka.s.,) is a paper d eser ving praise in many ways. As r egar d to exchanges - we favor the method of mixing the jokes with rem arks. On looking over your ex change column I see you favor this idea to an extent yourself. One suggestion which I should like to offer is that your editor arrange to have your e xchanges together and not ued from one place to ano t her . Your paper as a whole is good. Of course it hasn't a back, but this is a point to comment on rather than criticis e-it is the material that we s h ould watch. A few cuts would brighten up the appe arance

EDITORIAL
The Supreme Court in a special session last week found Ray Kapler :and Burnham guilty of snowballing passers-by. At the same · time Raymond McDugal was convicted of unnecessarily loud talk on the school grounds during classes. These stringent measures will bring the school commonwealth into a better light before both friends and foes of the system of selfgovernment. These trials were entirely fair and conducted according to the law. Ellis Harrison as chief justice conducted the affair in a commendable manner and with the assistance of Charles Bennett as commonwealth attorney will certainly enforce our ordi_nances .
TO THE SENIORS
Since the Senior class has decided not to have a · Senior Annual this year it means that there · will be a large number of pictures exchanged among the students and coupled with this fact the unusually low price which Mr. Kennedy asks for pictures makes it quite certain that there will be some d e lay in getting your pictures unless you go early.
The regular pictures chosen will cost $1.50 for the first dozen, all after that $1.25 per dozen. You have the choice of five styles of finish and six different cards. This is the only opportunity that you will get to obtain first-class, up-to-date photos at such a price, and it is hoped that as many as can will take advantage of it.
NOTICE

DEBATING
(Forest Tebbetts, editor.)
For some reason which is unknown at present, the secretary of the Omaha Debating Association has not answered the letters sent him by the secretary of our association so that nothing definite is known about our debate with Omaha, except that it will probably be held sometime before the close of school.
The interscholastic debate is not creating as much interest as it should even among those who should feel it their duty to enter the preliminariel!l for it. The question has been out for a long time and there is no reason why a number should not enter for this event. If you expect to go into debate to get a place next year you had better try out for the practice in the interscholastic, or Omaha debate and get the in practical debating afforded by appearing before an audience.
The class in debate conducted by Mr. Cronin is not as large as last semester's class, but everyone seems enthusiastic and some good material may be found in it for later debates.
A new society for the purpose of debating and oratorical work has been organized, and meets in room 202. This makes three debating societies meeting side by side on Friday evenings wi t h a total membership of about fifty-five members. This looks as if we were getting back to the good old da ys when the "Webster-Haines" De bati ng Society with seventy-five members was kept thriving Debate is not dead yet. Keep the good work up!
The other two societies are the Ciceronians and Phlogistans. They are planning a debate in chapel in the near future.
Girls and boys are always welcome at the ' different boys' and girls' societies. Let's beat Omaha and win first place in the interscholastic. "Every little bit helps." Do your share.
THE SENIOR PLAY
All the Seniors are by this time aware that the '06 class is to give "The College Widow" as their class play This is one of George Ade's most popular plays, and, as the name hnplies, a college play.
It has a good plot enlivened throughout by humorous local touches. Billy Bolton, a famous half-back from Minnes, stops over at a small
college in the east, Atwater by name, while on his way, in company with his father, to a rival school. The football coach, Jack Larabee, dis· covers his presence there and is, of course, anxious to keep him there to play on their team. So they persuade Jane Witherspoon, "The College Widow ," to use her wiles upon htm. She does so and various interesting complications arise, etc.
The whole play IE! carried out very well by the caste, and under the able coaching of Miss Edholm, with the assistance of the class sponsors, it promises to be a gre11-t success.
The date set for its presentation is March 23, not very far off you see One thing we wish to impress upon you is the fact that if you miss this play you will really miss something good. We do not intend to put up a talk of "school lo yalty" to get you to come. We will have no trouble in filling the house anyway for one , and possibly two performances. So, if you want to see a first-dass, up-to-date play well presented, you'd better not have "another engagement' • that evening.
lmtThe Comus (Zanesville, 0 ) has an abundance of literary material this month, howeyer, the paper lacks humor. The acknowledgment of papers without comment is also a bad practice.
The Owl is fine this month.
The Blade (Nashville, Tenn.) is a cutter. A decided improvement may be noticed in the last number. The comments on exchanges show careful work However, exchange editor, you wasted ·a great deal of paper when you gave that list of exchanges without remarks.
The Narrator (Schuylkill Seminary) is 0 K. with the exception of the exchange column. The habit of simply acknowledging a list of exchanges seems to have the exchange editor in its grip.
The Tooter (South Omaha, Nebr.) is a pretty good paper for Omaha; the quality of the paper is good and the material is well arranged.

WHAT'S THE MATTER 'wiTH THE SCHOOL INTEREST?
One thing that we want t o speak about is the reluc t ance of the s t uden t s t o contribute copy. Amon g the twelve or thirteen hundred students t here are not above a score who ever turn in anything. What is the reason for this? Surely not because the great majority are unable to do anything. You surely do not want to admit that there are only those few who can write an article of int e rest to the school, a short story or a poem, or turn in an item of news or a roast that would be printable in your school paper. The purpose
of a High School paper is to promote the int erests of school and its members and the be s t way in which thhl can be accomplished, and in fact the only way, is for each one to do somet h ing himself or herself and not leave everyt hin g fo r a few to do. This applies not only to l h e scho o l p aper bu t to all school interests. For i t is said tha t the great road to success Ii e·s the e xchange of ideas. Although there has be en v e r y li t tle h a nded in lately, we do not think i t is b e c a us e the students are unable to p r o uuc e a ny t hing good, but rath e r a lack of selfcc n fide nc e. Put the id e a that you can't write a n y tll iug g ood enough out of yoLlr head s. If you h a ve a g ood idea, put it on paper, send it in and we can a ssure y ou that i t will be carefully considered At least you can get in on the stor.y cont e st.
There has been much complaint against the facul t y for the recent strict action against walking throu g h the halls.
It is certainly very disagreeable to be pulling on y our wraps at your locker, when all of a sudden you are accosted by a tall, dark figure • standing by your side With your heart in your mouth and your hair standing on end, you raise your e ye s and look up, up , up, and before your eyes re a ch the stopping place-long before thatyou know who it is, for who is there quite so tall and commanding as the guardian of the upper hall at the going home time of tile day "The Sp e ctator."
JUST A REMINDER.
Look out for the police! The halls are now pa t rolled by minions of the law" and terrible is the fate of the luckless Freshmen or belat e d Seniors who in an evil hour are caught wandering about those forbidden passages. Enough of this nonsense. The new policy of puttin g the hallways in charge of teachers is one t hat has been forced upon the principal and one fro:n which he would gladly escape. Bu t the conduc t of students in the halls has been such t hat some action had to be taken and as the s t uden t s did not s e em to care to take the matter into their own hands, the facult y had to act. The condi t ions at this time are very strict In fact many believe that they are altogether too s e v e re. Be this as it may, it is almost certain that a looser system would be considered if carried on by the students themselves. The fac-
ulty are determined that there must be l ess disord e r and intend to enforce the presen t system the entire semester. But as it throws a large amount of extra work upon the teachers and as it is very unpopular among the students, the facult y might" consider a proposition from the stuWahoo.

s,a.ratn JI for it by their exceptiona ll y good goal throwing and the of their p l aying. They did not seem to mind fa ll s or anything else just so they got the ball, which they often succeeded in doing During the most of the first half Waho o seemed to have the best of the game, being at one time five po ints ahead of Linco ln. At this po.jnt our girls seemed to wake up and get down to business and at the end of the fi rst ha l f the score stood 16 to 20 i n favor of Linco ln
It was during the second half that the Linco ln g i r l s got down to team work and steadily forged ahead of their opponents. Lincoln played a st r on g game, each one p l aying her position consistently and well. There was very little star work don e, a lt h ough Marie Barr and Kate Fie l ds made some very difficult field goa l s dur ing the l ast half, thereby p l acing the final score of 40 to 28 in favor of Lincoln.
The gir l s' team seems to be determined to uphold the Lincoln reputation in basketball, even i f the boys are unable to do so. They have won every game so far this season and if they continue t o play in their present form, it w ill be a good team that ca n take a game from them.
Quite a spirit of enthusiasm was shown at the game and there was p l enty of rooti n g, a l though It was not well organized. The line -up was as fo llo ws:

Omaha has still disdained to answer our earnest appeals for a debate but they will probably become interested enough to at least answer soon.
We wish to correct the statement that appeared in The Advocate last week that Lincoln would debate Des Moines this semester.

Her Yoice is remarkably sweet and strong and h eld the attention of our rather noisy assembly better than an yone has this year.

The girls of the gymna,s i um were pleased to r e ceive a holiday last Wednesday, but half the enjoyment of the vacant periods was des t roy e d by the fact that Miss E l holm ' s illness was t he cause of the release . Although this is her first year of work in our gymnasium, Miss Edholm is a great favorite both on her own account and because of the interesting work which she g i ves. Her trainng was begun in the U. of N. D e par t ment of Physical trainng under Mrs Cl a p p and finished last year at Chicago. Her Ey st em is entir e ly new and the li f e she pu t s into t:b e wcrk ne ver fails to bring its response from t he girls.
The .Junior p lay! That must now be the uppermos t thought in High School minds bent on pleasure. It will be better than an y thing that h a s ever happened-things in the future always are Great effort is being made by every member of the cas t e to make the opening appearance of the class a great success The caste is a large one but not a third as large as the number in the tryout. The enthusiasm and interes t sh o wn in the trial has qeen a revelat ion to the coach and sponsors who have great hopes for th e production The play Is Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer," a lively ol d-fashioned comedy which is always successful. The very fact of its long life is a voucher for its quality. The players are especially adapted to their parts and on their originality much of the play's success will depend. Watch for the announcements.

LAW AND ORDER.
The anti-pool hall campaign has been sta r te d in this city and the High School has com e in for its share of the work. The growin g habit of High School boys to frequent these i>lac es led to an action being brought against the proprietor of one of these places of amusement. Th e case was heard in police court last Thurs-
day and the state of affairs given a thorough airing This case will have a good effect in the city and promises to be a strong factor for stricter e nforcement of the law, although the case in question looks as if it would be dismissed because of an error in the ordinance under which it is sought to enforce the law. It wlll, at least, have the effect 9f causing a new ordinance to be passed under which pool halls may be more closely regulated

GENERAL THAYER.
The Wh o Freed the First Slaves in Miss ou ri
Through the courtesy of Mrs. Lamb, wh o has bee n close l y connec ted with t h e pr i vate life of General Thayer and a few observations I have made while Jiving next door to him, I have had the privilege of studying some of his characteristics.
Gep.eral Thayer's indomitable courage, his unimpeachable honesty , his Spartan simplicity, his sagacity, h is franlrness, kindness, moderation and magnanimity, his fidelity to his f r iends, his humanity to his enemies, the purity of his private life, the patriotism of his public prin, clple, will never cease to be cherished in the grateful remembrance of all just men and a ll true-hearted Americans.
People meeting General Thayer fur the first time were attrac t ed by his courteous manner, h's simple and yet dignified speech. He ta l ked deliberately and used the best of l anguage. His choice of words was especially noticeable as he formed them into rhythmic sentences. If he told you he was glad to see you, he said it in s uch a manner t hat you fe l t it. If a n eighbor w a s sick he made inquiries daily If he heard of a family that was in need , the day did not ]l ass withou t his offering some help H is favorite g ift to the poo r was a sack of flour . Like all true soldiers he always possessed that s oldierly spirit, which gave him dignity He neve r to l d of his adventures in the wars un l ess asked to relate them Such a request, however, alwa:vs pleased him and he would describe the battles with such clearness and detail as to make them very inte r esting H e li ked to tell small c hildren wa r like and adventuro u s sto r ies, his favorite being Genera l Putman and the wolf. If a child asked him to repeat a s t ory, he was especia ll y pleased and wou l d say : "We ll dear, get up here," and he would repeat the story with earnestness and patience. He l o ved t o see boys vigorous , but polite and obedient, and always tr i ed to in spire them w i t h his own military spirit. Some seven o r eight years ago b o ys throughout the town were seized with the military fever and many little companies were formqd
a ll over town . The b oys in o ur n eigh borh ood h ad f ormed a sq u ad and on e mo rn ing as w e were march ing up t h e street, we met Genera l Thaye r. We ha l ted a n d prese n ted arms. T h e genera l was greatly pleased a n d I can sti ll remember that flash of his eye as he straightened his body and said, "My little soldiers, obey yo u r c apt ain and above a ll a l ways be po li te "
No one enjoyed joking and music more than this grand old and no do u bt n o man ever enjoyed Abraham Lincoln ' s witty jokes more than he did, and yet n o one obeyed the orders of Gen e ra l Grant more promptly or in more detail than he .
Any act of kindness or recognition, no matter how sma ll , he appreciated 'it greatly. He never passe9, an acq u aintance on the str eet by me r e l y biddin g the time of day , but always shook hands.
Ge n e ra l Grant had many r i va ls at t h e time he was coming into power but General Thay e r !mew his many good qualiti e s and went to Abe Lincoln to te ll him of th e m Linco l n asked Genera l Thayer if Grant dran lc "No," the ge n eral s aid, "not a drop ." Lincoln af terwards asked o ne of Grant's ri v a ls if Grant drank and the answer c ame that Gr a n t was a great top e r " Well ," said Lincol n , "I wish more of my g e nerals wou l d drink the kind of li quor he does." T h is Is one of Lincoln's witty stories that the general a l ways liked to t e ll. He was · an admirer of Grant and Gr ant- was a great adm i rer of him . His bravery during the battles he fought cannot be described, though the horse was sho t from under h im, not a fa l ter wou l d he make

forth and forever we will direct our attention to the members of the debating societies who are so blissfully inactive when the associat i on asll:s for their help at a meeting.
Of course there is nothing amusing about a debating meeting but every member of the debating clubs should come when one is called, , or if the duty ·is so painful, (a representative at lea·st from each society is desirable) we would suggest that a salary be appropriated by each society to hire representation .
The debating class squads are debating the ship subsidy bill, the educational qualificatioon for voters, the concentrationo of rural school districts, and the convict leasing ·system.
We would give special notice to freshmen that there are now three societies that meet every Friday evening. You are always welcome to visit these societies.

SHALL THE ADVO C A T E STOP ?
Students do you want The Advocate to discontinue publication? Do you want other schoo l s to say that the Lincoln High School cannot put out a schoo l paper? This ts just what will happen and in a very short time unless this students pay more attention to what pays for the paper, namely, our advertisers. Now students if you want the o l d L. H. S. Advocate to continue running you must watch its ads and tell the adverttsers you saw the ad in the paper and so came to see them. Now it is up to you, if you want a paper support our advertisers, if you don't want a paper, c"Ontinue ·to do as you are.
A meeting of the boys held just before vacation to determine what course they would pursue in regard to the rules passed early in the year by the Board of Education, regulating athletics in the high school. This was the first meeting of the boys since the new regulations went into effec t and Superintendent Stephens and Dr. Sande rs were present and tried to explain the purpose and reasons for the new rules as adopted. Many pointed questions were a·sked by the boys and Sup erintendent Stephens attempted to answer them. In many cases his answers were satisfac t ory , but in o t hers no definite answer could be obtained from him.
In regard t"O financial management he said he could not state what the policy of the authorities would be, while on the question of the schedule of games for the various t eams and whether or not our teams would be allowed to match games with teams "Outside of the state, he said rested with Dr. Sanders, who in turn would not say what his po li cy would be
Superintendent S t ephens when asked as to what he considered to be the advantages gained by athletics said there were tbree reasons why he favored athletic sports. First, a personal liking for the games; second, that games, if properly conducted, developed sucll traits as go"Od judgment, rapidity to see and execute the necessary plays , and a spirit of fair p!ay, and lastly he believed that these sports a school spirit which is a very desirable feature.
Following uperintendent Stepnens ' talk Dr. Sanders was called upon to state what h is policy in regard to out-of-the- state games would be. He said said that he could not at this time state definitely what stand he would take next fall, but a t the present time he felt t•:at two outside games would be desirable each season, one to be played here and one at some such place as the students should choose. He went on t"O state that he favored athletics, but thought ma t they should be of such a nature and so conducted that more students collld take part in them. He said he did not favor having big games ana a very strong team for he believed that it was bad to take the players out "Of school for the long trips that it was necessary to make and that than that a strong team lowered the purpose and ideal athletics by infusing the spiri t of w:nnlng, thereby lo"s ing sight of the prime object of athletics that is the good it does to the ones wll.o take part in the sports.
To t he questi"On as to conduct of our teams of the pas t he said he did not lmow of anything

that was not clean ath l etics and did not think there had been. He said h e expected to encourage athletics and that he hoped to hav e as good a man as cou l d be obtained in the country to take charge of athletic s and that he intended to recommend to the school board that they provide physica l training for the b<>ys .
After some hot discussion among the boys a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution that wou l d or ga nize the athletic association in harmony with the n ew regulations and report the same at t h e next meeting.

MEN ARE NAUGHT BUT MEN.
Oh for the days of my school again Oh for the g lorious day When we were boys in a college town And worked and ca ll ed it play.
Oh that the days of youth could come Bacl{ to my bowing form
That has weathered through score years and ten, Through many a roaring storm.
Those days when a ll our hearts were free The future promised bright That was the morning, now alas My sou l is lost in night .
Back to the campus now I stroll Back where my youth was spe n t In hopes that the o l d familiar scenes Will l ent my heart content.
Alas the scenes that meet my e:r"' Familiar are no more Old faces, scenes and land marks now Have faded as of yore.
For fa lli ng 'neath the han d of time They lived and passed away While I am doomed and l eft a l one Uncared for, o l d and gray.
If they be good who die off you ng The punishment is h ard When me n have naught to live for t h en They're better 'neath the shard.
And t h us to live, and live, and live, While all aro und me live, and an Who once were young have died.
A l a·a! alack! my days are o'er "To die! to s l eep'" for me As Hamlet sa i d "Perchance to dream " Came sleep what e'er ye be.
Perhaps that "in that sleep of dreams" I'll live my childhood then For boys are boys and girls are gir l s But men are naught but men .

·in him. He plodded along with h i s head hanging almost to his knees.
Thus I rode on for miles, when all of a sudden , raising my eyes from the ground, where they had rested for the last half hour, I saw in the di'atance the little town of Red Eag l e, toward whlch I had been r i ding all day and which was the end of my j ourney. My horse seemed to know that he had only a short' distance fart h er to travel, for h i s pace quicken ed. and bef<;'re l ong I had reached my destination.
It was a sma ll place of not more than one hunrlred and fifty inhabitants. The houses were small patched up affairs that looked li ke large drygoods boxes set upon end with ·a]ant roofs and stovepipes stickin g out of the top.
There was a hotel that gloried in two stories, a coat of paint, and the na:me "The Palace; " three saloons, two poo l halls, a jail-tbat was actually mad e of b rick , hauled a great many miles and at a vast amount of trouble- and a genera l store where one could buy anything from a p l ug of tobacco to a pa i r of spura, or the leather chapparojos, or "chaps" as they were commonly called.
As I rode into the town the first thing .t h at. g reeted my ears was the sound of loud oaths from one of the saloons nearby. As I was what is termed a "tender -foot," I was not used to such performances and naturally was rather shy of gett ing in close proximity with what appeared to be so dangerous a l ocality, for I thought that I foresaw trouble.
I was turning to go in another direction when my attentio n was attracted by a voice shouting:
"A w come off an' let the t kid alone, can't yer ?"
"Say, Lightning," responded another voice, angrily, "can't yer mind yer own affairs, just fer once in yer life?"

A DISSERTATION ON GIRLS.
A girl is a kid what will some day grow up to be a woman stead of a man if she is kareful an aint kiled by a oughtomobeile or dont die death from other natch e l cases. You kin allus te ll the difrance between a boy and a gir l becos she puts on ares an has cur ls an dont get holes in the nees of her stockins or kalus on her thum from shootln marbles fer keeps.
Girls is funny c hildr en. They get sore on a feller when he kisses em an they sometimes gets sore cause he dont kiss em. How kin a fe ll er te ll what to do? I dont know. Ive knowed · a pile of girls in my time an their all jest the same ceptin the co lor of there nare an eyes an the dresses what t h ey ware.
Girls favorut fun is chewittg gum an tattlin to there mothers. They also enjoys ice cream sody when they gin get it. I wouldnt be a girl fer ennything becos they cant never be a base ball picher or president of these united states of america. Girls looks nice when they is dressed an in the parler but they a1nt no fun play in fer they is a llu s afrade of gettin dirty or gettin thP-re hare pulled.
Girls - is afrade of mice rats bugs and freckels an l ast years c lo se. Girls is certai n funny some-

"This kid accm;ed me of cheatin' an thet's somethin' thet yer all know I won't stand fer, - not ·fer a m i nute!"
"That don't make a bit of difference, Sim Haw l ey, yer know as we ll as the rest of us thet yer c h eated the kid just because he lool;:ed easy, he bein' the on ly one thet had the nerve ter ca ll · yer do"w n since per wiped out Boston Bob, an' ye r a goin' ter l et h im alone, too, I'll have yer unders tand that!"
By this time I had summoned up enough courage to get off my horse and go Into the place to see what the trouble was. As I entered the door I saw a man , whom I discovered l ater to be Sim Haw l ey, reach for h i s revo l ver. But before he had so much as drawn it from the holster he was looking into the muzzle of a pisto l that was thrust into his face by his onponent.
"Ah would you?" he draw l ed, l apsing for the instant' into t h e speech the ea sterner "Now see here Sim Haw l ey I'm gettin' mighty tired of the way yer hev been bu ll -dozin' this p l ace an' I lmow that the other fellers air, too, so the best thing f e r ·yer to do is to git on yer horse and skedaddle out of the country before I l oose what pity and contempt I've got fer yer a n d make the sunshine through yer . An' don't yer let me ketch per a nosin' 'round this l oca li ty again er I' ll jest pump yer so fu ll of l ead t het ye 'll tip the scales at tw i ce what yer do at th i s present instant."
Shouts of approval rose from all the cowbo ys, except a few who had been cronies of Haw l ey, but they did not dare do any t hing, seeing that ' 'the majority were c l early in favor of "Lightni n g" of. "Lightning .Jack, " which was the w h o l e of his cognoman.
The man who had th u s aroused the ire of Lightning .Jack, or .Jack Rosewood, as I l ater found to be his Christian name, was one of that species of desperado and pub li c n u isance lmown all over the West as a "bad man." For some time he had, after a fash i on, terror i zed the· place, as he was quicJ;: with his pistol and had killed two or three men

Rosewood replaced his revolver with a ·smile " Wa ll , s'tranger," he draw l ed, turning to me, " I s'pose thet this k i nd of thing is new t o yet, but i t s an eve r y way occurrence out here in this country. "

LEG E ND S OF OUR COUNTRY
.
It is only a little more than four hundred years, since the con'dnent of North America became ge n era ll y known to the civilized w9r l d. In such a comparatively s hort time we have acquired some legends which, being mixed with the old Indian myths, are in ·most respects decidedly · unlike anything European. Our continent is very large a-nd as the people in the various part -o f i" c are surrounded by di1'l'erent

termined that t h e Aztecs should not surpass her people in glory. In'te nt upon this purpose she plan ned a glorious palace and to comp l ete it in her life time she made her people slave·s and drudg es, forgetting that by doing this she was ruining all hopes of lasting glory. She even made h e r d!!-ughter one of the l aborers who toiled to follow out her se l fish whims. She made herself a taskmaster and drove 'the laggard on with blows:
One day ·when t he heat and burdens were and environments, · each natural ·sec-· tlon has a particular l e gend of its own . especially unendurable, she · struck her dal.lghter.
The country arou nd the Hudson River has a The girl, unable to bear· more, threw down h e r load and cursed her mother, the palace and the considerab l e element of t he Dutch as -as the Indian f o lk lore . Perhaps the best example is the well known story of Rip Van Winkle . This, of course, can be explained by the ·· fact tha t the Du tc h were about the first settlers· there . But fm '•her south a l ong ..the De l aware River the influ en ce of the Revolution outweighed that of the early settlers of the country A _ great man y of th€se stories center about Washiilg'wn : and to me, at least, they are more· Interesting than anything else t old about him >
But New England has t h e greates't variety of legends. However, witchcraft and Indian stories play the most Important · party. The latter and those of buried treasure · are the · favorites in the South. In · the middle . section the l egends of the white men are coarser and mo,·e unpl easant though the Indian stories are fuller and more in teresti-ng than those of the · East. Going still far t her west 'the legends are almost entirely Indian.
All over the c o untr y, but especially on the Atlan t ic coast, are the tales · of Captain Kidd and buried treasure very popular. l 't is a fact that many liv es and fortunes h ave be en wasted in the mad d esire to r ecover the money sto l e n by the worst criminals of their times.
My favorite lege nd is one of the far West. In southern California 'there is a desert valley called the Death Gulch . Th ere, the s'wry runs, no ma-n can go in and come out a liv e. But it was once a fair and flourishing valley inhabited by a race of Indian s far ahead of the average. Th ey were rul e d ov er by a queen who was , d e-
smiling fruitful valley But the efrects of"" her curse, the people sickened · and died anddeep, rich soil became dry, shifting sand T]le , , quee-n who ·lived ·. longer 'than her'· u nhappy . jects , perished .of -thirst, neglect -and starvation. Ever since · then the valley has been> a ·neath Gulch, without water . and food. And it is sii.id tha't in the center stands a deserte d· pueblo , the l ast, horrible monument · the · tomb of a · once great peop1i\.

THE INTERCLASS MEET.
The Interclass track and field meet which was held Friday was a success although the heavy rain hindered all and prevented some of the events from being held The enthusiasm shown was a surprise to many, f<>r some felt · that the athletic spirit was dead In the school.
Not only did the spirit with which the thing was carried out please and encourage those who are trying to keep our reputation up in track and field athletics , but some good material from among t he lower class men was brought out. The events all went off nicely and although no records were broken some creditable time· was made.
Early in the meet it was clear to all that the con t est for the championship was between the Juniors and Seniors with the Seniors somewhat in the lead. The meet not being yet finished it is impossible to say just which one will win. If the weather is suitable the events which were not h e ld last Frida y will be held next Friday after school on the school gro unds.
There were several surprises sprung Friday, the most notable being the winning of the mile run by Henry Holdeman, a Freshman runner, who is expected to make things lively for High School runners in the next few years.
As the relay race will not be held there r emains six mor e events to be held, namely, running high jump , broad jump, pole vault, 120 yard hurdle, hammer throw and the discus event. As so many events remain, it is by no means decided w ho will win the meet The events held Friday and the winners are as follows:
Half mile run-Shatto 1st, G. Westover 2nd, Tigh and W. Woll enberg 3rd.
50 yard dash-Yates 1st, Uhl 2nd, Swendel 3rd.
440 yard dash-Flower 1st, W. Wollenberg 2nd, Shatto 3rd.

THE JUNIOR PLAY.
H any one expected a sober kind of treat at the Junior play, they must have been sadly disappointed . "She Stoops to Conquer" has dignity enough to cary itself anywhere, but the dignity was well set off by the lighter parts. The minor characters did much to carry the p l ay with spirit and sweep. The Jolly Pigeons made an excellent scene and the servants deserve much credit for the way they entered i nto the parts. Digory should have especial mention among these. " She" who stooped to conquer, was very charming and coquettish and the class may be very proud of their l eading lady, F lorence Chapma n The work done by "Cousin Con," Lelia Reith, was very commendab l e both in interpretation of lines and expresio n and spontaniety. The mother had a di fficu l t p'lrt and made Mrs. H ardcastle's troub l es very l:J.ughable. The ol d man was a worthy partner for her and did some very excellent work in a very hard part. Young Marlow's doub l e part was very difficult and h e filled it we ll Both he and Hastings l ooked very gall ant in their powdered wigs and buckled shoes .
Edw. H yde does not ne e d to be written up by any who s'l.w him. Whenever he was on the stage he was the ·center of attraction, was perfectly n atura l, original and a "To n y " It may be s a id that it was probab l y natural to him and that he did not have to do much acting but at any rate he fitted the part a n d the part fited him.
The Juniors are to be congratu l ated o n the play. The costumes were appropriate and no pains were spared anywhere to make it a success and i t was a success.

The exchanges for this week were edited by Paul Sinclair who will continue in that caapcity for the next few issues.
Our " josh" column has b ee n rattier limited the I a:; t few issues, but since the Junior play is over Charles Bennett will have more time to devote to that department of the paper and will endeavor to make up for lost time, so you may expect some chcice roasts.
Never try to work the faculty, remember ti' ey have a ),oard behind them.
T hE NEW HISTORY COURSE.
In the rearrangement of the course of study for next year, an opportunity has been given for a wide range of electives in the department of history. The course has been broadened and strengthened and made more flexib l e, and with improv e ments it will continue doubtless, as h ere tofore, to be one of the desirable and attractive subjects.
Those students who have just completed the gener a l course and who h ave taken merely a survey of the world 's history will now be prepared to make a more int e nsiv e and detailed study of some par t icular period H av ing a g'enera l perspective of the fie l d as a whole, they will now be ab l e to apprec i ate what the re a l contributions of the different peoples have been to civiliz ati on when they h ave an opportunity to study more intensively the art, the lit e rature, the economics, the philosophy, the religi on, as well as the political side.
In addition to the improvements mention e d above, the department has in contemplation the purchase of a fine lant e rn whicu will he used to give illustrated l ectures similar to those given in the University This w ill give added interst to the subj ec t and will enable t !J.e student to enter into the spirit of the period s t udied with a more appr e ciative int e r est when an opportunity for extensive illustration is afforded. After finishing the general course, specia l courses in Greek, Roman, Mediaeval, Mo der n, English, and American hist o ry will he off ere d and the student w ill be permitted to select the course in which he may feel de ficie nt or w h ich m ay suit his particular tastes
The Lincoln High School ranks among the most pr ogre ssive schoo'Is in offering such an extensive co ur se in history, and recognizes the fact that a knowledge of hi sto ry-if the world's deve l opment is re a lly the basis of a broad c u lture and an intelligent citizenship.

Flowers won the most points in the m eet, getting two first and two seconds. Ewing came next with three fir sts.

A CLASS PO E M.
By a member of '06 , Classma'tes, 't was only four short years ago
Since, timid fre s hmen, we first entered here, Despairing at the lon g and dreary years Till we should grave and stately seniors be. But now the years have pass e d, and quietly, too, happy hours at last draw near their end, And we must bid our high sch-ool days farewell.
Of all the cl as ses that have gone before, Not one more loyal, more 'true than ours h as been-
We'v e proudly borne o l d Lincoln's b l ack and red, In hard defeat and glorious vic t ory.
The s n irit t hat ha s mad e her justl y great vVe h o pe to foster i n the years to c-ome ,
To h e l p u s in th e life we now begin.
This morning is t he b est asse :11 bly called, wit h t:s as students of old Lincoln High; Fo r w e ha ve reach e d \ he part in g of the ways, Tho s a d to l eave, moTe eage r yet to go.
In cher i shed memo ry shall we a l ways ]{ee p, The rec-c llection of on r hi g h schoo l da ysand the best of youthfu l life.
A::Jd so o l d scho ::J l, f arewe ll; we only ask That cl ass of nin etee n hundr e d six
In fu t ur e years sha ll be not quite forgot, Bu t honor e d, tha t it may be said of us :
" No greater class 't han this was ever known ."

" A BLACK CAT."
Dorothy Miller.
Two little bo ys, e i g ht years old, were playin g toget h er. The m-other of one of the boys overheard the following c onversation:
"Don ' t you dare s a y that again, T ed Raf e; I know as sure as I'm alive that cats on board brin g bad luck."
" Pooh! 'fore I'd b'lieve such a thing; Willie Johnson! An y li'ttle kid six yearsold ought to !mow bet te r'n that ."
"Y-ou called me a li tt l e kid six years old. Gee whiz! I don't stand that! I'm two months older this minute than you are. Come, 'II you fight?"
MAGEE & DEElllEit
"No, I won't This cat cost $25 dollars. Mr. Humbert said so. Since I can't keep it myself and because you're such a baby, I'll take it to Ed. Thomas."
That ni ght Ted got a lett er It ran:
"Dear Teddy: I am sorry if I was cross today. I wo-od like the cat. It is a buty. I am no lon ger a babby. Yours truly "WILLLIAM T. JOHNSON "
THE FOUR SEASONS.
I claim .that spring's the beoat 'time, In all the yea r around, . When the sun it shi n es so warmly, An' grass covers a ll the ground. Th e r e's l ots of thin gs for kids to do-Fr-om fishin' all the day, To s pinnin' t ops an' p la yin' ball Spring is the best I say !
L east ways i t's next 'to summer, 'Cause summer's awfu l nic e, vVh e n a f e ll e r go Es a sw immin' An' dives in in a trice. An' it brings to us the jolly Fourth, With all its fun and nois e; With guns an' bomt•a an' other things, It's b est for a ll boys.
But though th e summer's 'bout all r i ght, Don't know bu't that old fall, That bring us nuts an' fruit a n' thin gs, Is 'bout t he best of all! Although it brings us sch-oo l again, We ' re a lmost tired of play, An' we don't care, much , whe n we start To go to school eac h · day .
But thou gh the sea•so ns ali are fine, I'm not so sure, now, That win't e r do e sn't beat them all; I think it ' s great, I vow! It brin gs us Christmas, an ' good timesThe times that can't be beatWhen you go chasin' with your s l ed, To hook rides on the street!
I g uess I can't d ecide at all Which sea·son I like best. When I conclude which one I lill:e, Th e fun that's in 'the rest, Comes loomin' up to me, an' the n I ch ang.e mY mind,-! can't decide But this I !mow that in a ll four I'm always satisfied!
