HER FATE
By Ruth O'Brien.
It was a warm summet· day, but not warm enough Lo be uncomfortable. Pleasant breezes whispered secrets in the treetops, while the lap• ping of the river on Lhe 1Ja11l, ,s joined in a deep undertone. And above all, the merry chirp o.f the birds could be heard. Yet 1\1arjorie noticed none of these things, not even the little squil'rel which peeped at her from behind rocks,, and uo,, and then shyly advanced , only to scamper back at Imagined sounds. She sat as if in a dream, her head sunk, her eyes staring fixedly at her lap. The long yellow curl ,s were towsled, and playful breezes sought to attract h r attention by whip• ping them across her face. H:ven the bright. new shoes which only a few moments before had been the topic for much admiring comrnenl, now were unnoticed. Around her the brightly colored pieces of a cbild's tea set and th remnants of what must hiave been a grand feast were scattered. Bu.t 11 r ~a,t the fair hostei:;s with a wislful look on her face. dreaming· amid the 1·uins. The sound of children's voices with high schrleks of laughter ean1e Eai ntly to her ears and through the trees a crowd of ·children could be seen, romping around the great house on the hil I. Suddenly the rise and fall of oars were heard, and tl1 liWe squi1T I sat up expectantly and turned his bright eyes up the river. Nearer and nearer came the sound , and finally, losing conr• age, 'he raced up the nearest lree. Then lhe boat came i n s ight, showing its two occupants, each wielding a pair of oars. What a strange pall· they were to be on that small stream. They seemed lo have been bathing, for their white shoulders gleamed in the ,sunlight as they rose and fell together. Still they kept their co1U·se until, look• ing up, one carught sight or tbe beautifu l child on the bank. He stopped rowing and seemed to be wondering a,t her motionless figure. His companion followe d his example , and in silence they drifte d down slream. When Just opp-Os i 1.e, with one impulse they took up their oars and turned to t h e otber shol'e. There they he l d a whispered conference, and after a time recrossed the stream, with h arsh bursts of laughter. The little squirrel das'hed wild l y over bls tree, an d the birds with sh r lll cries sou n ded the a l a r m. But all in vain. for l\rarjolie was far away in the La n d of _ od. Stretched ou t on the soft carpet of grass, she

lay with her head pillowed on her arm and the long black eyelashes resting 011 her rosy cheeks.
\Vith a thump the boat struck tbe bank, and both scrambled out on the shore. Their greedy eyes took in all the details or their victim; the baby face framed with golden curls, the blue silk [)art~, dl'ess, and the new shoes.
"Folk must be rich," chuckled tbe foremost one.
"You bet; we'll get even with 'em for not 'viU n g us to their pa rty," answered the othe r , with a nod coward the scattered tea-set.
"Take her up tenderly Lift h r with care; Fashloned so slender l y, You n g and so fair ," quoted the elder one , as he bent to pick her up.
"Better be ,careful and not wake her for fear we have a fuss," said the other with a sarcastic smi le.
"O, she seems to be pretty sound asleep," an• swered the other, as he led the way to the boat.
Depositing her on the bottom , they took their p l aces a n d soon we r e on their way, leaving the birds to discuss the strange occurrence Silently they rowed until well out of sight and sound of the house. then fell to discn sing the matter of dis11Qsing of their captive.
"Well, t11at's the easiest job I ever accom• plishPcl ," remarked one of the rowers at last.
''IIubm ! I should say so," answered the other. "Follis ought to have more s nse than to leave their kids scattered around on river banks," he addPd with a l augh
"Loolc out," called the first one, as the bottom of the boat slid over a hlddeu pile of rocks with a grating sound .
"Gee, that's the first time I knew those rocks were there, and I've been down these parts about fifty times," he announced as they slid off int o the water agoain.
"I should say so," answered the other, "an d th-at deep place is ri ght a lon g here some p l ace. I d'on't see-Hully Gee!" he broke off as a large stream of water burst tbl'o u gh a ho l e whlch the rock had tor n in the rotten bottom. Both dived off into the water without a thoug h t of Marjo r ie and l eft the boat to i ts end.

"A.nd also of ally Jane," put in the ocher grimly.
"Yep, but I guess tnere are enough kids around h re to make up for that one. We bad better g t out of here, thougb, and pretty quick at that." o saying, they got to their feet and straggled of!: across the fields
But what r :\larjorl ? That night loug after the brutal ruffians were a. l ep, a ,;tray wrw washed her water-soak d form ashore, th pretty blue frock all faded and stain d, one shoe missing. and th urly hair hanging in strings around her

Only after 11 number of hours was she mis:;ed, and what a search wa.s mad ! Lanterns were brought and the shore scoured ln both directions. It might lie w ll to mention the fact that two of the most diligent search r and chief mourners were some , mall ho~·s who lived near.

The play committ e is working hard. and the clrbnte, and having good S. 0. X. meetings, and th gi1·is }tre keeping up with them. This is a gr at year, Seniors, and our last, so let us make all we can out or ;t -ltncl leave a name to be proud or in the High School records.
DEBATE NOTES
The debaling <iocielies of the Lincoln High School have introduced a new feature, and that is th inter-society debate, There will be a series of these cl bates on important, Instructive, and interesting questions. The main object in creating these debates is to cause a greater interest iu debating in high schools,
In a Few weeks there wm come the try-outs for the team to represent Lincoln High, and it is hoped that a great many will take part, as there is certainly plenty of material in the school. With four societies doing active w01·k. it seems as though there should be at least twenty entered for the try-outs.
If possible, the inler-cla s debates will be begun before the end of the semester Last year much

JUNE'S ·AWAKENING
(Lorena Bixby , 1910.)
Never before had the prairies looked so lonesom e to June as on this morning two days before . Christmas She looked out over the long stretch of waste lands, and as she thought of the girls back in New York, and the snow, and the glittering shop windows, hot tears came to her eyes.
"It Isn't fair," sbe exclaimed bitterly, "It Isn't fair! If it hadn't been 1or Aunt Mary we'd be th e re now instead of in this awful place with no money, and no good schools, and no presents. Not one single present for the children!" She slammed down the window, and ran down the stairs quickly , where meeting her mother in the doorway , she gave vent to her feelings In a burst of angry tears.
"Yes , I know it's hard," said her mother, "but as long as father is getting well, we ought to -bear it And you know, that was the chief reason we came here , not so much because Aunt Mary wouldn't help us, for there's just as many places in New York for poor people as in Arizona."
"But the children! There's no decent school , and they ' re getting so wild and bad-mannered it's just a wful. They'll be regular savages before long. " ·
" Yes, that Is the worst by far. But they are learning good common sense and independence . which Is much better than mere book -learning."
" Well ," sighed June , ''I'll admit they're learning indep e ndence! Why , this very morning- .-'
At this moment there was a knock at the door , and without waiting for an answer , Jimmie, the nearest n e ighbor ' s boy , burst into the room "OhMrs. Morgan-ma's broke-her arm , and wants you to come-right away, till the doctor gets there! Please-s he ' s hurt awful."
Mrs. Morgan was already slipping into her hat and coat , but turned as she reached the door " .June dear , you can do the work , can't you There's only the starting of the children to school, a nd th e r e gular hou s ework but I won ' t be back till evening ."
"Yes, I suppose so," replied June ungraciously. "Good-bye." Disconsolately she turned back to the kitchen and looked over the untidy room. Yes , there was the inevitable mush and milk on the table , nothing else In the ,sink the few dishes her father and mother used in their five o'clock breakfast, scattered over the floor were the baby's toys , and on the window seat was a promiscuouus plle of books.
"Oh. dear. what a mess! They never will learn to take care of their things, and I suppose I'll be picking up after them till I'm gray-headed. Goodness! They'll be late to school If they don't hurry." She rushed to the door, and vigorously •
s colded until she heard angry mutters from above, and then , satisfied , went back to the work.
Very shortly , her younger sister , Kitty, entered the room, shoe-laces flapping, hair unbralded, and dress unbuttoned. June surveyed her in despair, and then began to , laugh.
"Well , you needn't laugh about it. If you were so awkw a rd as ycu say I am you'd look a lot worse!" exclaimed Kitty angrily.
"Never mind, wash your face now, and I'll braid your hair and button you up I do wish you'd take more pains , and try to look like a civilized person!" Kitty followed orders with exasperating slowness , and June's patience being · exhausted , she helped her with an exceedingly ungracious air. By the time they had finished , the twins, Billy and Tommy , rushed in and went straight !or the table.
"Oh, boys , do wash your hands I should think you'd be ashamed to have such awful manners. Now there's the baby . If you hadn't made such a . noise she wouldn't have wakened."
With a sigh s'he left the table and going upstairs, soon returned with two-year-old Dumpy, whom she sat on the floor. The boys meanwhile consumed a most astonishing amount of mush and milk, and there was peace at the table until Tommy broke out: "You didn't show me that problem , and you said you would " "Mine too," chimed in Billy
In despair June got out their books and started in to working problems . "Well, here it Is," she said at la s t. "You see, I reduced this fractionMy heavens! what has that child swallowed now?"
Snatching the screaming baby from the floor , she shook it violently , and t'he boys in the meantime picked up their books and papers and scuttled out of the room. June ran after them, but it was too late , and grumbling she came back again. " Now I'll have to bring in all the wood and c oal today , and do the other work besides Kitty, you've got to help with the dishes this morning:'
"I won't! It's your turn, and · it's your turn to make the beds, too. You never help me on my JJ10rnings "
"Well, at least you'll 'have to take the boys' lunch to them. Mother made it before she left, , but they forgot it."' Kitty took the basket and started out , but t~rned at the door, hesitated and came slowly back
"June, do I-do I look so awful bad? My new teacher-oh. I'm so danged homely it don't matter anyway!" She rushed out the door, leaving June the picture of astonishment •
"Why, how qu ee r! I nev er knew s h e -cared at a ll a bout her lo oks. Hereafte r I'll help h e r out, a nd she r ea ll y isn ' t homely. We ll first ther e's t h e baby to feed , th en the dish es, a nd dusting and s we e ping and scrubbing, and t he upstairs work I see where li ttle v\:TilJi e puts i n a clay of stre nuous labor!"
So sh e flew a round, a nd u n d e r th e infl u ence of th e s t ead y wor k her sp ir i ts rose considera bl y. B u t wl1en it w as a ll done . a nd th e t hought o r Christ mas ca me to h e r mind , she dr o pped •disconsolately in t o her chair. Not a cent of money in the h ous e , nothin g to make pr es ents o f, an d not eve n anything extra for the dinn e r So m et h ing had to b e done. S h e start e d u p to ransack th e trunk s, when her fa t her appeare d in the doorw ay , comin g fr o m l1 long r i d e .
"H ere's a lett e r for you , my gir l ," he ca ll e d cheerfully. "It's fr om Aunt :i\Tary, so I t oo k th e lib e rt y of re a ding it, and-an d y ou may do just a s yo u c h cose. " He l ai d the l e tter in her h and , and w ith a quick, wistfu l look at h e r, went to unsaddl e t h e ho r s e an d pick up a b out t he p l ace.
J une turned t h e letter over an d ov e r b e fore sh e fin a lly open e d it and r ea d the contents Sh e d i dn ' t want to read it , but finally st arted.
Bosto n , l\1ass. , Dec. 16, 1909 . My Dear June:
Don't think this is a n a pology for my treatment of your f a ther I h ave no suc h in tent i ons. I never s h a ll fo rg iv e his u nfo r tunate m a rria g e , nor his lack of busin e s.s ab ilit y, but I c a nno t bl a ni.e y ou for e ith er. I h ave h ea rd there is no school for y ou there , and want yo u to ccme and live wi t h me, and go to a select pr ivate sc h oo l h e r e. I supp ose t he ot he r ch ildren are you ng Indi a ns but it' s only , the s in s of the f a ther s visit e d on t h e childr en. I cannot help that
I k now you' ll take this offer, as I ~.3surg you it w ill never be m a de ag ain and t rusting in a speedy r ep l y, I r em ain, Aunt Mary.
" Oh ." gasped Jun e, "my lo nge d-for ch a n ce ! ,To go to Boston, and liv e i n h e r be a utiful hom e, and at tend a private sc hool. and be with girls aga init ' s too g lorious to think of ! But y e t -how can I l eave mother to d o a ll th e work, an d th e childr en to grow up a n y old way , an d fat h e r w i tho ut hi s old est g i r l? Oh , what s h all I do ?"
The b a b y b ega n to cr y a nd s h e li fted him in h er arms a nd wa l ke d s lo w ly up and down th e room. Th a t ,comfortab l e , hom e room, w ith it s ra g ca rp e t and firep l ac e an d d ee p window se ats-Sudd enl y she look e d clown at the b a by-tlle s oft cheek r e sting aga in st h er s hould e r, the li t tl e dim pled fin gers, th e wa rm roun dnes s of the li ttle bod y , and with a qu i ck e x clamation h el d hi m c l oser. " l can't l eave them," s he murmured, "the baby l east of all. How could I even hav e thought of it?"
La yi ng the sl e eping child in the carriage , •Shi'! sn a t ched the lett e r from the floor, and waved it aloft. "Ble ss ings on this lett e r , and hurrah for Aunt Mary! If it hadn't b ee n for her, I would never have appreci a t e d hom e, a nd I'd hav e d evelop e d a r eg ular, a ll-around grouch, enough to last a lifetime. Now . l e t's see- W e ll , if h e r e isn't Tommy, and I do believe h e's b ee n in a fight."
At this moment Tommy burst into th e room his face bloody, and his eye black , and threw him'.
se lf up on h er in childish abandon. "Pete licked me." he sobbe d wrathfully. " H e c h eate d in a game , a nd I tol d him so , and he li cke d Ii:J.e. I w as n't big e n oug h. "
"1Vell, I'll ju st fix yo ur eye s up and was h yo ur fa ce , an d then you' ll go b ack, an d this time Pete will b e t h e one who's l icke d, won 't h e ?"
"Y ou j us' bet! Say, Jun e " he excla im e d shyly as he l ef t, "y ou 'r e-y ou're a r eg ular good fellow!"
"Now, the r e 's a comp li ment worth whil e ! I'll t ry to liv e up to thRt. We ll , now , I'll see what can b e clone. :Moth er lik es c hi cken so we' ll h ave on e for supper. and I'll b lac k Kitty's sbois, and pres s ou t h e r h a ir ribb ons, a nd iron a c l ea n dr ess . for h er , an d s h e 'll look as good as anybo d y. Th e n I can put up s ome pictu res and cu rtai ns in the boys' r oom a nd make th e m p l ea santer an d ,clean f a ther 's c lothe s , too. An d what ca n ·'r do about the pre se nts?"
She ro c ked ba ck a nd forth thinking hard , and fin a lly dec l are d , "\V e il,•! ca n make Dumpy a rag d r.11 an d a colo red picture book . Th e bo ys shall h ave a twine ba se b a ll apiec e, an d as for Kitty , s h e 's m other's s ize , and I ca n rip up th at red silk mothe r had. and eas ily m ake it over for h e r. l\Io ther sha ll h a v e that soft bri gh t cushion I began a year ago, and f a ther those s lipp ers I once starte d to make Then molasses candy , a nd popcorn, an d the nuts we got last fal] will fill up the stockings, . an d we'll hav e a dandy Christmas after a ll. Now to work!" * * * *
Twe lv e- thi rty the ni g ht before Christmas , and .Jun e was kneeling on the he a rth stuffing the last th i ngs away in the st ockings. 1The r e d silk dress a ll ccm pl e t e dfi . lay over the chair . a nd th e rest of t h e simple littl e presents were hidd e n away in th e stock ings , t h e candy and nuts filling them out to bursting. It did not hurt .June to see that no stock in g w a s there for h e r , although she did not dr eam her mother wa s coming down a ft erw ards to fill one for her with the same hom e-ma de gifts a s she h ad made.
But she did stand for a long time, loo king down on th e g loming embers, and a t last sh e whispered sof tl y to herself : "Som e how , t hi s is the happiest Chri st mas I've e v er had, and just supp o s ing I were at Aunt :Mary 's ? It isn't the amo unt nor the value that co uuts , a nd I know tbe children w ill be b a ppier tomorrow than they ever wer e back in New York!"

PH I L I P' S CHRISTMAS. (Mae Ch r istian.)
Little nine-year-old Philip arose from his b e d of straw, and cast a hungry, sad look at his poor , s ick mother, who lay on a cot n earby This was a c old , bl eak morning, and was to be an unusually sad day for Philip because the next day was Christmas.
" Oh, mother," shivered Phili p, "what are we a -goin' to do? No coal and nothin' to eat 'cept hard br ead. Th e r e is some cold tea , and I will warm it for you. I'll get some sticks and make a tire to ke e p yo u warm till I com e home."
"No, Philip, I can't eat a thing ," sighe d poor :urs. ;\fagoon. " Just to think that I must stay in here, a nd not a thing in the house to eat; but I can ' t get up from bed. Poor little son , why is it that we have to liv e like this? If only you r poor daddy was here, we would live happily, and you would nev er have to blac k shoes to make enough money to buy a bite to eat. Mr s. Brown sent word to me that she will bring over an overcoat that Willie outgrew , and I think it will b e all right for you to we a r until I am able to work and buy you another, and " continued the poor s u ff e rer, be cko n i ng f or shivering Philip t o c ome to her bedsid e, "your poor daddy 's last words were , 'Take good care of our boy , and when I come home w e will live so happy .' Poor boy. ,That promise can never be fulfille d "
"Don't worry, marnma, you will soon b e well, a nd when I g e t to be a big man we ' ll live in a ni ce, b ig house. Can ' t I see his pi cture again, mamma? He looks so good, I like to look at him."
Philip took th e p i cture from the trunk in the eo rn er, a nd gazed with a sorrowful look at it.
"Let me see it aga in, Philip " sighed his mother. '\ Oh, it is s o natural of him! He h ad it taken when we li ved in Chicago, b efo re he went away to work in the mine Th e n when h e never came b ac k I lrncw he was d ea d , because the paper desc rib e d an unid e nti fied man which I knew was your d a ddy. Then I took y ou and we moved many miles away fr om the place wh e r e I was so happy once "
"There now , mamma , just wait till I get big and you can be h a ppy again. Tomorrow is Christmas , but we can try to be happy even if w e can't h ave a n ice dinner and Christmas tree."
"Yes, clea r , it will be a sad Ch ristma s; but you had better go to work now , and hurry home tonight."
After makin g a littl e fire , and ea ting a crust of bread, poor little Philip kissed a fond good-bye to his sick mother . an d started for hi s d a ily tas k of bo o t-bla c ldn g Ou his way he loo ked wist[ully at the beautiful di s plays of Christmas art ic le s in th e windows. About eleven o'clock Philip was busily shining a man's s ho es, and think in g of his mother and his poor father wh ose picture he had s ee n a short time befor e. When the man paid Philip , h e was amazed to find that he had no change except a two-dollar bill
"I'll run o ve r t o Billy's cigar store and get t h e ch a n ge," said Philip "You wait right here and I 11 s oon be back."
I mme di ate ly h e was dashing across the street, but he g ot only half way across, because an autonrnbile st ru ck him , hurling him to the ground.
Th e occupant of the car, quickly jumping out, 11icked up the poor l ad He still clutched the bill. He was carrie d into the cigar store, where he was ca refull y uurs ed for an hour before he was brought to consc iou s n ess. Op e ning h i s eyes he gasped for the money, b ut was told that the man h a d his clrnnge a ll right. The occupant of the a utomobil e was st ill in the room with Philip.
"How a r e you, sonny?" he aske d kindly
"Oh, I'm a -feelin' good now. How did I get in here?"
"I carri ed you in, lad "
"You're so good to me .-b ut my mother , can't I go hom e to her? She is sick and home alone.''
'Tl! take you home, sonny-I'd be g l ad to You remind me of a littl e boy I used t o have. I would li ke to do something for you."
"D id you us ed to have a little boy? Where is he now?" queried Philip.
" I went to work in a mine an d left my wife and li tt l e b oy at home. A t err ibl e disaster h ap1ie necl, and I was entcrn b ed for a lcng time Evcr ·one thought I w a s dead. I was almost dead when the y found me, but they took me to a hospital and I r ec ov e r e d in a month. I was unconscious most of the time When I w a s able I sta rted ho me, but my wife and boy w e re g o~e. No one kn ew wh e re they hacl gone, only that she heard t h at I was cle acl and this grieved her so t h a t she could not sta nd to stay in Chicago any more. That was s even years ago, and I have searched all over for them since, but I have never succeeded in finding them I have advertise d in papers, but it did no g ood. Now, you say your mother is ill?"
"Yes," faltered P hilip. "Your story interested me so much :\Iy mother told me one like that t his morning about my father."
"1Vbat ?" ej ac ul a t e d the m a n in surprise. "Your moth e r told youo one like that about your father? Why, how stra ng e! What is your name lad?"
"Phili11 " he repli e d , "PhHip i\Iagoon."'
The man turned white a nd · nearly reeled, but pre_vente cl it b y cla s ping a cha ir.
"O h , what's th e matte r? Are you sick?"
" No , s onn y, I take f h ose spe lls often," he stammered; but in reality the truth w as beginning to clawn on him. "C oul d it be possible? Can it be true?" he thought to himself.
He carried Philip to the aut omobile and placed him on th e c u shion preparatory for taking him h o m e Philip was n ot seriously injur ed just brui se d a little '

A splendid chapel was given Wednesday, December 8, which was greatly enjoyed by all. Dr. Herbert Yeuell , who has been conducting evangelistic services at the First Christian church, spoke and Mr. Budd and Mr. Sturgis , who have been assisting Dr Y e uell in a musical way, favored us with several violin and cornet solos. Dr. Yeuell is a very interesting speaker, anr his meetings at the First Christian church have attracted c onsid· erable attention.
A h e avy fall of snow has given some of the boys .considerable exercise in sweeping oft the walks, and has also caused some of the students who live out of the Colleve View line, and are depending on the cars, to get to school in time, to be late Th e car service on all lines, for a few days, was very irregular.
Prof. H. W. Hoffman , the learned an d genial German instructor, has been absent from his classes for several · days, on account of illness. Miss Persinger, of the University, has 'had .charge of his classes.
Townsend took the picture of the football team.
About thirty members of the senior class indulged in a bob-sled party Wednesday evening, December 8. Thte weather was quite cold, but a very enjoyable time is reported. rThe S H U. members furni s hed refreshments afte rthe ride.
At the football banquet Superintendent Stephens feelingly referr e d to "the late Mr. Cruse." Cruse says he was only a few minutes late just enough to catch a fleeting glimpse of the green ~ags on th end of the special.
Joe Witmer's friends are very glad to see him ·back safely. When they heard he had gone in to play in the Yorlr game , they feared the worst, as the attractiven es s of the York girls is weU known, and their fondness for real football players is
notorious. Joe says , 'however, that the only injury he received was a loss of wind, and of this, it is thought, Joe has a plentiful supply.
When you want n. good Christmas present for your friend, just apply to Townsend; he makes good pictures a specialty.
Shorty Meadows feels quite indignant at being left off the football picture, but as he has another year in school, he hopes to do better next season. He and Francis Fensler are going to get up art all-star team and beat the High team then.
Mis Spafford , who teaches about sines and cones and things in Math. V, was out of school several days on account of sickness. Miss Bailey took charge of her classes.
The Thanksgiving quotations have been received. Mr. Mays thinks it is impossible for students to do their best from the seats in chapel, so 'he is now going to give them an opportunity to recite fromo the platform. We imagine this will cause consi derable joy to thise who have not yet given their quotations.
Tryon Shepherd had the misfortune to see his hydrogen apparatus explode quite violently in the c hemical labor atory, causing something of a commotion among the students therein assembled
Mr. Hoffman (in German class): Should the verb meaning "to die" be conjugated with the auxiliary "hab•m"? Is it transitive or intr a nsitive?
Dut ch Student : It shou ld be conjugated with "sein ."
Herr Hoffman: Why?
Der Student: It r efer s to a change of place.

S . O. X. NOTES.
(Reed Dawson, Editor.)
That wonderful class of '89 claim they had the best class since--? They , ought to come to '10 class meetings once and see the bunch which comes out and does things. But we are afraid they would go away with a poor opinion of the boys of '10 if they happened to attend an S. 0. X meeting. What is the matter with you fellows? Why don ' t you turn out to the S. 0. X. meetings? Ev e ry one of you would like to see the S. 0 X. do something, but fift e en fellows can't do as much as one hundred. It falls on us to do a great deal in class and sc'hool affairs , and we have got to have somebody to do this. We have decorated the stage for two chapels and we did our best but think what we could have done with fifty in;tead of ten. Every senior boy would like to get as c lose as possible to the S. H. U's, an -d the best way to do this Is to come in and join the S. 0. X. W e have a very elevating lecture at each meeting, and as a rule we can scare up some grub. In the n e ar future we are going to have a joint S. O. X. and S H. U. pie feed , and we will have SOME pies Come, too , fellows, and join the S. 0. X.

At the debating try-outs Saturday evening , December 11th Richard Stout, Paul Cannell and Clark Dickir{son were selected as the debating team John Farrell and Eugene Becker as alternate;. About 100 students and patrons were present. Sixteen contestants tried out, the largest number that has contested for a place on the team for several years.
On the train coming from York the coach came through the car and asked Ben Kohout if he had a girl for the banquet. Ben blushed and said "No." The coach agreed to get him theh finest girl in L. H. S. But as he was as bashful as Ben, he had Miss Green ask the girl.
Frank Cruse was also without a girl, but C. Mann and Max ff'owle came to the rescue. The girl was beautiful, and they were late to .the banquet.
Townsend makes you look like some one, in a picture.
Rebert Funkhouser , '09, visited some of his old haunts in the chemical laboratory the other day. He is carrying twenty-one hours' work in the University, but is looking hale and hearty for a' that.

The costumes worn by the seniors Slouch Day were unusually good Fritz Harris appeared as a dashing cowboy, several circus clowns were in evidence, the Goddess of Liberty favored us with her presence, and ~t the party in the evening, Milton Overstreet was awarded the prize for th e best costume. He was attired as Buster Brown, while his sister Henrietta impersonated Mary Jane.
The basket-ball team has been practically selected, and the games will soon begin. We play Beatrice January 7th, at whi c h time a debate between our school and Beatrice will also be given. Last year Lincoln won the basket-ball game at the double-header, but was so unfortunate as to lose the debate. A double victory is hoped for this year.
S enior Slouch Day occurred Friday, December 10th. A program was given in c hapel in the morning, which consisted of a song by Misses Dorothy Raymond, Laura Pratt. and Lucile Johnson , a duet by June Troxel and Howard Ankeny, entitled "That' s the Kind of a Girl She Was ," a Highland Fling by Ruth Walters, and a comedy s ketch repr e senting the discovery of the North Pole , a nd subsequ e nt events. These four numb e rs w ere al! enjoyed very much by the school, and also b y several patrons who were present. In th e a ft e rnoon those seniors who w e re off the s i x th went to th e Orpheum, and in the e vening a Slou ch Party was given at the gymnasium in the McKinl ey building. About sixty-five seniors were pres e nt at this party , the inclemency of the weather keeping away several. 'The different slou c h day affairs were, on the whole. very succe s sful , for which great credit is due the committ e e who had it in charge, Eliz a beth Hyde, Evelyn Beaum ont Reed Dawson, Budge Widener and Br y an Waugh. ·
Hel e n Bennett has been compelled to give up sc hool for the rest of the semester , as she is not in good health.
Bud g e Widener as "Doc Cook" and Maurice Fry e as "Lieut. Peary" in the Slouch Day prog r a m , g ave very realistic interpretations of their parts.
In chapel Monday morning , December 13th , Miss Louise Miller gave a very interesting account of her trip to Europe last summ er. Following this , Mr. Mays present e d th e footb a ll team with th e sweater s provided for them by the Board of Control. The sweaters are of the "V" neck type , black, with larg e block r e d "L' ' s. Th e y will undoubtedly be of inestimable benefit to the team In keeping them warm , and if it were possible , would improve their looks; but after the record they made this fall., they look pretty good to us in any old things.
SENIOR NOTES.
(Lorena Bixby, E ditor .)
You sho ul d have seen the m ee ting II'uesday, Dec 7. Over a hundred there! The greatest enthusiasm was displayed, and plans for the f u t~re came thick and fast. We had a bob-sled nde Wednesday night, the S. 0. X.'s furnis~ing th e sleds , th e S. H. U's hot choco l ate at Krug s.
And then Slouch Day, Friday, was the best ever. By nin e o'clock the e ntire auditorium was full of students and visitors, and there was bar~ly room for the seniors when they came marc hmg in . The first thing on the program was 3:song b y Dorothy Raymond , Laura Pratt, an d Lucille Johnston. This touching little ditty, entit~ed "The •rhree Old i\laids of Lee," called fort h v10l ent applause, especia ll y when th ey turned their b acks !
Next June Tro xe ll and Howard 4nthony gave a dialo g u e which was ridiculously funny , an d tlte students' went ·around all day singing , "A nd that 's the kind of a girl she was." The Rut~ Walters gave th e "Highland Fling," and nothmg could hav e been more graceful and pretty.
Lastly a one-act play entitled, "The North Pole," was performed. /fhe two renowne~ and faruou~ seniors Budge Widener and Maurice Fry, too,c the pa/ts respectively of Dr. Cook and ?.1r. Peary. This play, the work of Bryan Waugh anc l Arnold Grimm was espec ially good an d funny. In the afternJon all went to the Orpheum , and in tl!e eveni ng we had a jolly party in the gymnasi u m . So we all agree that th i s was the be l:t Slouch Day in the history of the H. S.

THE GIRLS' HOCKEY CLUB
(Ethel L ewe llen, Editor.)
The girls meet as before on Tuesday and Thur sd ay after four o'clock. The weather being very disagreeable for some time, we have been un able to p l ay. A party was held Saturday in the gymnasi um . Ever yone had a delightful time. We seriously hope more gir l s will jo in the club and help those now interested to push hockey next fall
' Some teacher commented on the way in which so m e of the gir l s were getting out for the hockey team . Also how the senior girls were s lo w in getting out. Well, go ahead and plan and arrange your tournament, and we will guarantee that the • senio~ gir l s' hockey team will be there wit h the big "shinny club."
Al most five years ago it seemed to be the sty l e, as well as the fad, for every boy who could find a rubb e r to shoot paper-wads, bent pins, stap l es, and anything e l se that would hurt the intended victim as it strucl, him or her.
,There was only -one ttrouble with this fad and that was that it somet imes caupsed trouble. If it had not been for this reason the style might hav e been prolonged. As it was this is what happened.
Some one, ha vi ng run out of paper , and still wishing to c ontinu e the sport, found that bent pins and stap l es were even more effective, and so adopoted th e latt er missiles. They were effective , so effe c tive in fact that one of them struck a boy's eye (of course by mistake) and af t er many expensive treatments it was found that the eye could not be saved.
I am not maintaining that any bo y or girl will have his or her eye put out, not at all, but I do maintain that unte ss it is stoppe d , right now , while it is in its infan cy, s ome one is bound to be hurt.
The teachers as we ll as the well-meaning students must co-operate and stamp this evil out. It must be done before anything so serious as that in previous years, again 'ha ppens
FARM NOTES.
(J. H. C.)
Cows ' hoofs should be manicured carefully and frequently or they are liable to collect barnacles , causing them to stumble and st rain their milk . Thi s duty shou ld be attended to in the busy season, when it will interfere with other work
An improved condensed milk can be made b y. crowding cows closely together in the barnyard . Guinea hens should 'have axle grease rubbed on their vocal chords three times a day.
A PROPOSED EXCURSION.
Last year, about this time, an exc u rsio n to Beatrice was proposed. The basketball an d the debate teams each had an eve nt schedule d for the same day in that city. About two hundred · went down and hed the time of their lives.
This year, it seems, it will not be a questio n of can we get enough to fill a train, but whether we can g e t a tr a in l arge enough for the crowd Further not e will be made concerning this in next issue.
Not His Fault.
Judge: "Up again for evading the law?"
Unlucky One: "Evade nuthin'. The cops are so thick around here you couludn't evade them in an airship."
An Afflicted Clock.
A stuttering gentleman was quietly sneaking up the stairs in the wee ·small 'hours, when an angry voice was heard from above : "What time is it?"
" It is j-j-j-j-just one ," sai-d tha belated one.
'The words were scarcely uttered when the old clock in the hall struck four times very loudly.
"Did you hear that?" came sharply from the head of the stairs.
"But, my dear," came back pleasantly, "you mustn't m-m-m-mind that k-k-k-k-clock. It's j-j-j -just J-1-1-likem-m-m-me."
Too Particular.
Dick Westover , while eating his soup in a Hastings hotel , after having to wait for the_ short time of half an hour to be served , complamed to the c olored waiter that the soup bowl was dirty ,
" Bo s s , fifteen men have eaten out of that bowl today , and you a re the first to complain."
Something New.
"Plase, sur , me grand mudder--"
"Teli me a new one , Johnnie."
" Promised to take me to the game today if you would let me off."
And he got off
"Darn it all , anyway ," said Max Towle to Dick Westover, while they · wer waiting in the lobby after the banquet , "I was so busy that I forgot to press my suit."
"Well," replied Dick, "you'll still have last chance on the way home.' '.
Miss Gere : "Mr. Beechley, is there any connecting link between organic and inorganic matter?"
John (promptly): "Y ,es, ma'am, hash ."
An Irishman got off a train at a station for the purpose of taking a stimulant, but it took longer than he expertE>d, and when · he returned to the depot the rrnin w11R moving out of the yards.
"Honlrl nn'. " C'rled Pat, as he ran like mad after the fast di s appearing train. "Hould on, we ould starne !njun . ye've got a passenger on board that ' s lift behind!"
Correct.
Sunday School Teacher: "Elsie, can you tell me anything about the Epistles?"
Small Elsie: "They must .have been the wives of the apostles."
T-he other day one of L. H . students who is undergoing the classical operation, voice culture , met me on the street.
Says he: "Where're you rooming?" -
! said: "On Q street." .
He said: "Is there another room up there for rent?"
I said : "Why?"
He said: "Well , er , the landlady informed me this morning that I'd have to move."
I said: "Why?"
Says he: "She said, 'All ye've qone lately is to howl! Ye howl in your room, ye howl in the bathroom, ye howl in the hall, in fact ye howl all over.'"
ATHLETICS
The athletic celebration held Monday morning, November 29th, was one of the best of its kind ever seen in Lincoln High. It was full of interest from start to finish. It was a great comfort to hear the old-timers, Mockett, Elliott, Gerhart, say that the 1909 football t eam ranks with the great teams of the past, as th 'e teams of '91 , '99, '04, '05 . We, of course, had known this all along, but still were glad to have th e weight of outside authority.
A stirring speech from Mr. Philpott near the end of the athletic -chapel met with the usual enthusiastic reception , and we are now prepared for his basket-ball "stories."
The speeches of the different members of the football team were greatly enjoyed by the students, not a bly Les Mann's account of the "peefide" some of them attended at Hastings This, as he explained was only an ordinary pie-feed.
No sooner lb.ad football , closed tli.an, on the following Monday, Coach Wilson an( Leslie Mann took up th e task of forming a basketball team. The work has ben going on with great vigor and there are three or four teams out for the places on the r st te a m. L Mann th e cap1;ain, and J oe Mapes, ·probable center, have ben playing with some steam and ginger. The manner in w'hich they have be en throwing baskets would lead one to believe they had b e en on the floor for months.

When Nettie Saved the Day
(By Gertrude Scribner . )
T here are several ways in which you find your particular crowd, and Nettie found us to be h er bunch in a very unusual way, I think
It will 'have to be explained of Nettie that she was a regular book-worm. She was thin and tall and she never employed a n yone's else hair. Indeed, there was no mystery at al! a 'bout Nettie except that she preferred to study when the rest o f us were rooting for the team, and that she n ever wondered three weeks before hand if she'd get a bid to the coming dance. These were mysteries which I could never fathom.
She certainly was a wonder at books. Her compositions just glowed with flowery descriptions and high-sounding phrases. I can't remember any of them now, for my mind doesn't r un to books, and I never read anything I don't have to except accounts of football games. But I do remember one composition in particular which had a simply great description of an old castle on the Rhine, a place which Nettie had actually visited. Miss Thomas said s'he was a marvel and encourage!i the rest of us to follow her example.
And, although I admired her genius, I rather stood aloof from her and considered that it must I noticed that the girls who always had their lessons were somewhat nervous, though I didn't guess the reason until later.
A sharp tap of the ruler on the desk <'ailed the class to order. There was something not altogether pleasant in the sound. Miss Thomas was not in sympathy with football, and our English period was cut ten minutes short by the football game .
At first i\Iiss Thomas asked some questions which were of the kind that defy you to bluff an answer. However, we got through them very well, and then there was a silence, and I knew something was going to happen; something was.
"I should like to hear some of the compositions ," sa id :Miss Thomas, rather too cheerfully to predict any good
She began with Mary Williams and Bertha Morris, w'ho sat in the front seat stiff with fright it was plain to be seen. Both shamefacedly replied that they were unprepared
She then went straight up the line, calling on each student in turn. With each refusa l her voice •became more stern. Things were at a crisis. We all held our breath as she reached Marie Hughes. Marie, too , was unprepared.
An ominous silence -settle d upon the room It seemed to me that the period would never end.
She stopped right i n front of the next to t h e l ast seat; I was in the last one. She surveyed be very much of a bore to study for so many h ours every day when there was ice or s n ow , and always the crowd outsiqe.
But I'm afraid now , as I think it over, that I yielded too often to these calls from outside; fo r at the end of the year I found myself with tw o conditions , which were not so easily made up.
I have been rambling on at the rate of forty miles an hour , without doing anything towar d s the story I started to tell of how Nettie all unawares, found her way into our crowd.
Well, you will have inferred that Nettie was not a favorite In fact, we all found her a diffieti: t proposition to talk to. One always felt the need of speaking very correctly when she was arou n d, a thing very difficult for me, with my poor supply of words in good usage.
Sometimes I used to imagine that Nettie looke d 'rather lonely and as if she were sorry to be left out of things. At such times I made desperate attempts at a conversation, which ended general l y in a decided failure.
And so it was that , until October ninth , nineteen hundred and eight , Nettie had been the brightest star in our English class, a marvel ·at compositions , but an utter failure in society .
It was the day of the great game , Lincoln vers,1s West Des Moines, a game that knocked all studying out from Thursday night until Monday morning, and gave us an extra half hour of ch!l.pel as well . Thus it was that on Friday afternoon we all came to class without our composition,;;. Friday was composition day , a big mistak ,~ by the way , for one always has so many othe:- things planned for the last of the week.
We had all been to the depot Thursday night to w e lcome the Des Mo i nes team.
There were a few in the class who alwl' ys had their lessons in spite of other things that were going on, but October the ninth proved to be an exception long to be remembered by the whole class . Only one person in the class had her lesson, Nettie, the heroine of the day, who did not go to the depot to meet the Des Moines team. us calmly for fully a minute, and I'm sure she thought there was no hope for us. She l ooke d sharply at me and said, "One more failure to recite , and I shall ask the class to remain for forty minutes."
A groan quite loud enough to be heard escaped from the -class as a w h ole, and then she called on the next to the last student , which was Nett i e
We waited, leaning forward in our seats, with eyes fixed on Nettie. There was not a so u nd in that room for fully ten seconds, and then Nettie rose and read the greatest literary g lo ry our clas s has ever produced. It was a masterpiece, an d it set twenty hearts to beating normally again , a t h ing which most masterpieces do not do.
The be ll rang just as she finishe d , and we fairly carried her away to the game, and n ow she is a regular member of the crowd and a very jo lly gir l whe n you know 'her.

Outsid ers would say -a s an excuse for their attitude-- " Well , what's the use of turning them (the pupils) loose in a new building, they would treat it like the one the y have now?"
Let's not allow that ·remark to be made tru ly, but on the contrary , use the building with as much care as though it was our friend's hous e and one in whkh we must necessarily be very careful.
A man would be foolish if, on the moment tha t he has a job ofl'.ered him. he should immediately b eco m e· slovenly an d careless with his present position It is only plausible that his attitude would reflect upon his reputation with his new employers .
Now , is it plausioble fo: us ? We have just been cfl'.ered the position of a place in ::i. new high school building at some future time. Shall we grow indifl'.erent and not take th e proper care of this school house o! ours?
It's well these days to sta,rt to school fifteen or twenty minutes early because the cars have a habit of stopping out yonder long eno u gh to make it impossible to get to school on time.
For some time it has been courteous for gentlemen to remove their hats in th e ·presence of ladies F1ellows, there isn't any use trying to reform a •custom like this , so you'll just have to fall in line. Don't forget that oostom when you come Into the high school bullding.
It isn't always ')Vise to ye!] at everything which happens in -<:h11.pel.
If you don't believe the High School question is red hot just read the papers Now, if not before we are before the eyes of the public. Are y ou doing your best in boosting for it?
When the building is so cold that ink in the ink wells is frozen, just mention the fact to outsiders and ex plain the reasons
P e ople say that there is no disgrace in failing in a n y project after havin g exerted all the force of mind and body in trying to accomplish that end . However, there is disgrace in having failed because of la ck of that exertion.
Has Lincoln High School been disgraced or ac quitt e d honorably in its last effort, that of the Beatrice excursion?
First was this excursion a. thing worthy of put ting through or not? Evidently it was, from 1.be fact that the school, st ud ents and faculty 1'ecm e d nearly unanimous in its approval of the plan. Then there is no apparent reason for not. h ;1ving had the co-operation of every member o f this school in this undertaking. It is not a question of whether it inconvenienced those who had planned to go, • SO much as it Is whether the bigh ,:;chool shall a llow an event which has been advertised to the public to fa .11 through .
The failure of this project was not du e to the la ck of efl'.ort on the part of those in charge, but it.e was d ue to th e lac! < of co•operation of those upon whose shou lders every project fust eventually fall, the mass to be b enefite d by the event. :Dhose who gave their time that 1:ihis might be engineered to a successful end , could neither have made nor broken the excursion had those to b e benefited or hurt by it stood against or for it.
Remember , don 't let the other fellow do that which you can do as well, if not better than he. Aild when a good thing is started, just put a shoulder to the wheel.

XXIII PSALM OF GEOMETRY C L ASS
Miss Kirker is my . teacher, I shall not pass , She maketh me to explain hard propositions an d ex poseth my ignorance before the whole class.
She restoreth my sorrow , She causeth me to draw para ll elograms for my grade's sake
Yea, though I stud y until midnight , I shall ga in no knowledge , for originals sorely troube me , pyi·amids, and prisms they distress me.
Th ou preparest a test for me in the presence of the se nior s; thou givest me a poor grade; my sorrow runneth ove r.
Surely d istress and sadness shall fo ll ow me all the da ys of my life , and I shall d well in the class of geometry forever

THE ADVOCATE
In the debate at Beatrice, one of the Beatrice men waxed very warm during his speech. lle had a chart on tlrn wall to which he was r · ferrlng, and in 11ointing out the various crimes of labor unions, h brandished a yardstick in a manner calculated to inspir I rror in lhe hearts of the Lincoln boys. The latter bravelr stood their ground, however, and that •vaning "at supper. Dr. Maxey, of the University of Nebraska Law School. who was one of the judges said: "I looked for trouble, I will admit. and L honed the Lincoln boy would dodge nown und r the table to get out of the way. But it ~eemeci to me (he height of inconsistency in the beatrice man, for he was at that time arguing against intimidation!"
Mr Hofflllan (in Germau I): "Ted, how would you say in German. 'The fire is hot'?''
Ted l\Tet alfe: "Das feu r ist hell.''

\Ve felt confident or winning from Beatrice, but we w re not half so confident as they were. Everyon was wild about it. They sent their boys up to our librari es, e;conrageu them, and advertised the debaLe But all this doesu·t make a particle of difference, we won and deserved lhe decision.
Our team-Paul Cannel, Z. rlark Dickenson and Richard Stout (with .Jean Beech r and .John ~,arr I as alternates)-upbeld the affirmative side or the question, Resolved: That labor unions on the whole are beneficial. Our boys debated in a way which l\Ir. Philpott expresses as "simply fine," and th outcome was at no lime doubtful. Z. Clark Dickenson even went so far l:.S to crack a joke. 'l'here were fully a half dozen perceptible smiles
The Failure of the excursion was a disappointment LO man) yet there ,vere about thirty who went regardless-these can easily be identified for such names as Tilton ana jlahoney figure large]~ in their con l'Crsatiou.
The question for onr Omaha debate has not heen ~elected, lrnt eYeryone knows tlmt there will be a real tlebale. With such encouragem nt we Ehould hav twenty-five stud nts of L. H. to choo1<e a learn rrom. \Vhere are the girls' representatives? The junior and senior plays may take a good many from the preliminaries and it's a bad habit to keep thinking that Omaha is an
easy learn. They heat Lincoln elev n ·consecutive times until last year~so the) at least have a r putation to fall back on
PHLOGESTONS.
(Carleton Young. Editor.)
Well the Beatrice debate is over, and Lincoln High once more showed her olors by triumphing over B nLrice b) llle score of 2 to 1. Xext will be the Omaha debate, and it would not seem proper if we sh.ould let Omaha go back with tbe scalps of the Lincoln dE>bal rs; so it is probable that Lin<·oln will Ile the victor. The Philogestons have been having some most interesting debates of late, and it woulcl benefit the lower classmen to come out and listen awhile. Our parliamentary drill is always bigh-s1>i1·il d, which brings forth many ah any laugh. All underclassmen are cordially im iled, as well as new students. Don't forget th time and date eve r y Friday evening at 7: 30 sharp, in ro m 201.
CICERONIAN NOTES.
(Silas Bryan, Editor.)
'l'he C D. S. has taken in Lbe new members Fred Burke. Richard Westover and :\lax Towle. Om meetings have been interesting lately and we wish to ap)leal to the lower classmen and show them what we can do for lh m.
We succeeded in plqcing all Ciceronians on the team and one allernate from our society-which is really encouragement.

S. O X. NOTES .
(John Farrell, Editor.)
Say, you fellows don't know what you missed by not coming to the S. 0, X. meeting and peanut feed on Tuesday, the 11th of January. It was interesting right from the start, when some of the S. H. U.'s tried to sandbag our poor little se·geant-at-arms, Clint Ross, so th y cou l d help devour some of the peanuts. But as all the members quickly rallied to the aid or Clint, the attacking party was repulsed. Alter listening to an excellent talk by George Burch and stories by several of the members, which w re very well received the peanuts were brought forth and passed around by the committee Everything went in a very orderly manner, and ther was plenty of peanuts for everybody, untU one of the S. H U.'s got past f'lint and everybcdy wanted to gi\•e h r some of the ))eanuts.
Now. fellows, don't miss another good time like this. ,Ve meet every Tuesday in room 116 after eighth period. and w will show you a goocl time .

The Factsof the Caseof John Ruskovitch
By He r bert Grnmman.
J<'Or thirty years I hav e been the o nly man in th e world "·ho knows the secret of the disapp ea ranC'e of John Ruskovitch. Fo1· thirty years I have h es ita ted to record the details of this affair because [ have re cogn ized the fact that nobody would believe them. HoweYer, as I feel old age slowly taking hold of me and know that my days are numbered, I feel it m y duty to r ec ord this wonderful . affair, although I know w e ll enough that my contemporaries will laugh at it. They will laugh because they cannot establish any connection be t w ee n it and o the r ordina ry happ e nings. Tha t is the way: p eo ple cannot cornvrehend a phenomenon until they see its connection with oth e r phenomena. It is, therefore. mainly for po ste rity that I r ec ord this, since posterity which will h ave candidly note<I other s imilar occurrences , will be l ieve me, because thes e fa cts which I am about to record will not seem so extraordinary to it.
A lm ost seventy-five years ago John Ruskqvitch was born in St. Petersburg. His parents were friends of mine and John and I were educated together. As John's father and my father were both fairly w e ll- to -do, we receiYed a p rett y extensive educat ion . I mention these things as a proof th2t I was in a position to know the facts of Rnskovitch's schooling.
John preferred mathematics and logic to his other studies. I wish to speak of this to throw li ght on his lat er dev e lopm ent. I need not say here that Ruskovitcb became the most famous chess p lay er on earth, because the world knows of his fame in this direction I say the most famous chess player on earth, b ec ause I wish to exc lud e a ll other places at the start.
,vhen Ruskovitch was twenty -six years old, his paTents died , leaving him a comfortab le income. At the death of his parents he shut himself up and mixed in no society. From this · time on he saw nobod y except an occasional very famous c hess players with whom he would condescend to play. All the world knows of Ruskovit ch at this period of his life was leamed from the three or four players who matched him. In these much ta lked of matches Ruskovitch, after about a half hour's playing, would say to his opponent "I shall chec kmate you in exactly thirty-six moves," or something similar, as the case might be. According to the reports of his opponents, he always did it . too.
I might say here that he even renounced the best of his former friends (myself inc l uded; I had been his closest companion in his school days) . During the last years of his lif e he even gave up his small social association with the few. players
I have svoken of, matching no one. He had become an ahsolnte recluse, devoting hlu1self entir e ly to c he ~s probl e111 s ,-i n s hor t, hi s id ea l was to have a p e rfectly comp l ete and in fa llible know ledge of one tll in g ,- chess. H o\\'eYer, he n eve r expect e d to rut tl i e develcprnent he :t c(]nirM by his study to any pr act i cnl us e or to teach a n~·one e l se what he had discovered. It wa s thus with e:-dreme s111·1n·i~e thaL J receive<!. after h is lif e cf a b solute s l.'clusion had pr c gressed [er about e i g h t years a note from him in which he begged me to c ome t o his a par t ments at ,:30 on Friday eve ning. DeC'ern\Jer Lhe seventeen th, 1871. The letter bore a pos tseri pt in which Ruskovitch, after seYe r a l almost 11athetic e utreaties, had written "For God's sake corue!"
It i n ee dle i::s to say that I \\·ent. When I first saw RuskoYitcb I scarcely recognized him. He lo oked as if he had suclclE:!nlyor l ate,~· grown old. He was extremely nervous and sat in a stra i ght backed chair his hands clutchin1?; at tlw edges of the seat. H e s2id not a word , bu t -tossed me a l etter written with a peculiar r e d fluid on black vaper. The Jetter was anonyrnotis . and announced that its writer would be pres Ent on the sanie Friday eve ning to play Ruskovitch one game in order to show him that he was not the b est 11layer ex i sting.
Ruskovit c h had received the letter 0110 year befor e the elate appointed in it for the m atc h. The le t ter was very ragged and torn and showed signs of haYing been read hundreds of times. The mysterious assurance of the stranger had made Rusl .wv it ch doubt his efficiency for the first time in his lif e. After that he \Jecame nervous and restless. and had become old, as h e I.old m e afterI read the le tter
Promptly at eight o'clock (the time appointed in the mysterious l etter) there sudd e nly a11peared in the room, as if by magic-how can I say it and be believed ?-no other person (or shou l d I say thing?) than the devil. I confess that I do not know why we were not both fright e n ed to death, unless it was because a·nother emot ion surged through us,-that of intense curiosity. As for Ruskovitch himself , his hair (previously only gray) turned absolute l y white and stood on end. However , the devil assured us that he was the expected visitor and that he would immediately play the match with Ruskovitch A coin was tossed up. Rusk ;ovitch had the first play. He moved the second pawn on his right hand two spaces, whereupon the devil said, "I shall check• mate you in one thousand, three hundred and seventy-two moves." Ruskov\tch trembled more violently and made several rather poor moves
THE AD V O CATE
However, he was beaten squarely by the devil in exactly one thousand, three hundred and seventytwo moves The devil checkmated him just at three o'clock in the morning. (I i·emetnber this because I distinctly beard the three chimes from the- church belfry.) Ruskovitch fell limp in his chair. The devil entirely unruffled , rose an d ad· dressing him, said, "You are beaten first , for your selfishnern; and second, because you were pre· sumptucus enough to attempt a mastery in even one thing." With these words the devil plunged his pitchfcrk fairly into Ruskovitch and disappeared with him · in a flash of flame.
I was unconscious for three weeks after this horrible experience, but I have lived to confide these facts to my fellowmen, trusting that posterity will regard them candidly_

The years roll on. Too soon we find Our boyhood days are o'er; The scenes we've known the friends we've 11ved Are gone to come no more; But in the shrine of memory We'll hold and treasure nigh . The recollections fond of those Dear days at Lincoln Higl1.
The years roll on. To man's estate From youthful mould we pass, Anrt life's stern duties bind us round And doubts and cares harass; But memories we'll guard through storms, The ones that never die, The ones we love to think We have of Lincoln High.
DON ' T BE A KNOCKER
Did you ever stahd 'round the hall way, And hear the boys say "Hoch! Of all the thing I ever, That is the bummest joke."
Did you ever try to write one? I think you will all say "~o."
Just try it once and you will see
There are easier rows to hoe.
I sat up until midnight, From midnight un ti! morn; And rack my brain as much as I might, Not a single joke was born ·
And so when it don't strike funnr, Don't sit around and mutter; Just sympathize and say you'll try To make the next ones better. -Shirley ~farshall.

Once on a day, now dead and gone.
And by you long forgot;

We were by fate together thrown, And thrown, and threw, and throwed; It seems it's taken my last bone
To put on such a load!
We were by fate together threw-
Get up you smokes and fly!
And all you frogs and monkeys blue , Called forth by good old rye!
We were by fate together castOh how my head roes hum!
One of those drinks-it was the l astHas put me on the bum!
We were by fate together tossed, As pitchers toss the ball. How much that last drink did cost , I cannot think at all!
We were by fate together hurled, I landed on my head!
That head of mine-Oh how it whirled!
I guess I'll go to bed!

DEBATING WITH OMAHA.
A few weeks ago, the Lincoln High sent two teams to Beatrice. One was our baslrntball team, and the other the debating team. Of course, you know the results of the two events as " We have not lost a contest since we have had our new principal."
Last Saturday evening we gave tbe Omaha basket-ball team the usual treatment, but soon we are to meet their team in debate. Shall we carry off the honors again? It depends on you. !f you get out and boost, help those who are gomg to try out, etc , we are sure to win. We will debate Omaha at the L. H. S. auditorium some time in i\lay and we need your support. If you can do nothing else you can go and hear tbe debate and help by your cheering, etc.
The subject with Omaha is the same as the one with which we defeat Beatrice. On l y we have the negative side instead of affirmativ -e as before. Wether or not Omaha knows whicb side of the question we had with Beatrice we do not know. However, we must work for we must win. Omaha will put every bit of power obtainable to defeat us, as we defeated them last year in debate and basketball, and last fall in football, Saturday in basketball again. So it is evident she will do her best.
Come out and boost everything pertaining to the debate.
Debat i ng So c iet ies.
:Huch interest has been shown in the debating societies of late. Although during examina: tion week and the first week of the new term the attendance was not as good as usual. However, now they are running their old pace and everybody is working for his or her society This was shown in the late election of the officers of the Advocate. All of the boys' societies were representeq by a nominee for every officer and e l ectioneering was the principle business of every member from Thursday a. m., until Monday p. m.,
a( 4 : 30 when the polls closed . The Ph l ogistans seemed to have worked the hardest for their men got the desired positions. We understand that the vV P S boys came out second in every place, but of course suffered sorrie disappointment in not securing one first p l ace
We understand that the societies are going to continue with their intersociety debates. The Phlogistons and the Ciceroneans have had two a l ready and now the W. P. S. and Ciceroneans are planning on a ocntest.
These little debates are very interesting as well as instructive. Come out and be entertained for an hour or two. Time wi!l be posted
Inte r
Cla ss Debates
The interclass debates are going to be given soon. Who will be the victorious cl ass this year? The class of ' 12 were last year Are we seniors going to let the class of ' 13 carry off the honors this year? The freshmen are turning out more men for the try-outs than any other class and they are going to make us older classmen work. Coach Bednar stated today that the sophomores have several registered for try-outs , the seniors a few. but at 12 m., Wednesday, no juniors had registered and at 5 p. m. Wednesday the registration was to be closed. It is possible that you juniors are not going to even try for the interclass debate championship? Remember tbat from the four class teams tlle team for Omaha will be chosen. The junio~ should have at least one man on the team.
We hope that the juniors registered before the cl ose of registration and have a team as the other classes have done. Dick, you better get busy.
CICERONIAN NOTES.
Clark Dickinson, Editor.
At a recent meeting of the C. D. S . . Marsha ll Dunn was elected president for the next six weeks , Silas Bryan, critic; "Shorty" Meadows, secretary and treasurer, and Frank Kruse , sergeant-at-arms. ~1arshall, "Shorty" and Silas a!I promise to put their shoulders to the wheel, and there is every reason to believe that things wilf move with a will during the remainder of the semester. Several new members have been taken in recently , among them being two enterprising freshmen, McDonald and Osthoff. We wish more freshmen and sophomores wou l d visit our meetings We have sev:eral old, moss-backed dried-up seniors. who will ~oon be out of their misery, and we want some wide-awake young fellows from the lower classes to take t h eir p l aces Come out to our meetings , and let us show you where we are right.
It will not be long now until the try-outs for the Omaha-Lincoln debate, and we · can help you get into your best form for it. There is certain to be one new member on the team, as Pau l Canne ll graduated last semester. We must beat Om-aba and want as many to try out as find it poss i ble'.

LINCOLN H IGH SCHO OL
The Village Scliool of Austria
By J ames E. Bednar
To the studMts of the Lincoln High School , I trust a few word s co ncerning Lhe village sc ho ol s of Austria will be of inter est and if the statements below are carefu ll y contrasted with state· ments that might be made concerning our own schools I am si1re that we would realize our advantages If the con dition s, against which the peasant boy and girl of Austria must battle in ord e r to secure an educat ion, are caref ull y com:i:ared with conditions, we, ours e lves encounter in a similar purpose, I am sure that w e would appreciate our advantages as we never have b efore.
The slab-rnofed sc hool building in ' the Austrian village serves a double purpose. It is the fountain of knowledge. Here facts and figur es are crammed and jamm e d into vacant intellects Aside from this it is also the professor's home, i. e., in case be is married. Thus at the outset the scho l ars must not be too noisy le st they disturb the peaceful slumber of some member of the professor's family, and the professor's family must a l so take precaution to be quiet lest tbey disturb the busy worldng scholar.
The portion of the grounds, surrounding the school building, which here is variously des i gnated as campus, athletic field or p l ayground, is there converted into a vegetable garden It mak es a model garden, all the more common vegetables, such as cabbage, potatoes, peas . beans an-cl onions, us e d by t he average family, are grown here . They are planted, weeded , hoed, wa:tered, cultivated, all by the scholars during intermis s ion. It's a beautiful sight to see the long, straight, rows of growing beans and with scarcel y a weed among them. Children everywhere are hoeing and watering them as directed. It is a beautiful sight for the visitor to l ook at. It must be a delight , for t buse who l ove the professor , to take part in th e work. But how about those "contrary wise-minded?" Don't you think there would be a tendency on their part to pull up the cabbage and onion plants in place of the weed s ? No doubt they ent erta in such thoughts, but the presence of the austere faculty prevents any such action .
The purpose of the above plan is practical. The r e ason for having the professor live in the school building and of converting the playground into a garden is two-fold. The various plants and vegetables are grown beneath the very eyes of the scholars, and the successiv e stages in the growtb and development of each p l ant is explained to the scholars by the professor. It forms an ob j ect les s on. Cl asses nee d not go botaniz i ng into distant woods an d past u res s i nce nearly all material needed by them may be found on the school ground.
:\lor e ov e r the garclen , with its vegetables, goes a long way towar ds s up porting the professo r and bis rarnilr, thus acldin g materially to h is meager salary.
Oh Paddy dear!
You're sure ly h er e : Your co lors gay aclorning; Heart gay and l ighl
As Banshee bri ght ; To you-t he top o[ the morning!
Here's to th e blarney that never was meant To wound , malign or assail you; Here ' s to the chaff like sweet balm it is sen t To cheer when scrrows bewail you; Here's to that blarney beneath a kind heart That ever stands rea dy and glad To help a weak brother take on a new start When his s oul feels lonely and sad.
St. Patrick was a temperance lad, vVho ba il ed from Dub l in town By chas ing snakes from Ireland Thi s good sa int did win r enown. But faith 'tis different now-days H e re beneath the stripes and stars, Th e man caught c h asing snakes , begor, Will land behin d the bars.
Toast America's golden rod, Toast England's rose so rare , To ast Scotland's downy thistle, And France's lilly fair. Th ey a ll de se rve our praises And our blessings too, I ween , But give to me this git of gras s From that l ittl e is l e so green

THE GIRLS ' DEBATING SOCIETY
We ha ve had two very in teresting debates of late. In one we proved that the Davenport tract is mo s t d es irabl e for a high school; in the other we proved that fraterni tie s should not be abo lished in high sc hools.
Th e G. D. S party give n at the president's hom e, Alice Dullenty, was a great success. The va ud ev ill e was on e which would be mu ch apprec iated by the whole school. A few of the best features were the stunt given by our sr.onsors and the way that saw mill was stopped was a wonder. Th e a lumn i were present.

JUNIOR NOTES .
Hurrah · for the girls! At the g i r ls ' basketball tournament th e Junior girls s ur e l y s howed th e schoo l that the Juniors are not r ea lly so slow af ter all. This fact was demonstrat ed very emphatically to th e Sophomor es, who succeede d in running up the high score of 1 i n the finals. ow comes the track season, so it's u p to y ou boys to win it.
The p,la y, w'hich is ca ll e d " harley 's Aunt," has been chosen and the cast, which was chosen after the try-outs, promises well for its s uc cess.
FRESHMAN NOTES
(Leigh Osthoff, Editor.)
Fr es hmen , our peanut feed was a g r eat s u ccess M an y pecks of peanuts were devo ur ed, but up to the l atest report no one felt any ill effects.
At the meeting of Ma r c h 8 a little comedy entitl e d "Jane's Legacy" was given. The actors played their respective parts very well. The play was a laugh from beginning to en d
Th e Sophomore s must have heard of the great acting ability of the Fre shmen, for many of them came over to see the play.
Our meetings are well atte nd ed, for at the meeting of Mar c h 8, the room was ct·owded; even t h e win d ow-s ill s were utiliz e d as seats.
Boys, yo u should show more class spirit, for at th e me e ting of i\farch 8 there were only about eleven boys pr ese nt , not counting the s ophomor es. This makes a very bad showi n g for the bo ys of the Freshman cl ass.

The Junior gir ls chinched the class ch ampionship by administering to the Sophomores an overwhelming defeat. The Jun i or t ea m is probably one of the strongest clas steams ever developed in L. H. S. They play swift and hard and one of th e strongest points in their ravor is their excellent team work. Elsie Vallis and Lue lla Di e rks are without a doubt the best pair of forwa rd s in the school. Jean Cutts plays a steady game at' center. The two g uard s , Annette Bright and Althea Litton have no superiors in the school. In the two games played their forwards on ly scored 5 points altogether, whi ch shows the ir strength. The least sa id about the the better , as it was entirely too on strongest p la yer for the Sophomor es :\fill e r, who put up a good game at ce of the fact that she bad just recove week ' s illness.
