sprsgu HAYNE. Picnic, i Forward, iniide B) center!" ttie Colonel cried, And his heart -within him froze, For he heard a green say to a friend, 'That means to follow your nose." Thus the long expected annual picnic or me -iNormai uananuu iu Fowler's grove, four miles southeast of the city commenced. In this age of the world the average student is cearly prostrated with the wearineas after a walk of two blocks. In fact it ia becoming a question with modern educa tors, as to whether legs had not be better dispensed with entirely, and the student of the future move his im mense brain from place to place by means of mechanical propulsion. Th8 State Normal school battalion has no sympathy with the modern philosopher, whose title to greatness is based upon profound erudition, by breath, knock knees, sallow complexion.

mincing steps, angelic phyBique, but has a firm belief in the necessity of a sound mind in a sound body, in the value of exercise and fresh air, to dispel stomach and liver complaints, laziness and hot-house sensibilities. While a tramp of eight miles may be shockingly suggestive of Plebeian coarseness, and the carrying of a musket a reminder of foolis men who laid down their lives to save their country, the boys have inherited just such coarseness and desire to be just as foolish as their fathers. Promptly at 2:30 Saturday afternoon the bat talion left the Normal for Fowler's groye. The bugler and drummer were at the head of the battalion, followed by Company and behind the uni formed company were Company in white shirts, and with red sashes. Professor Stevenson was mounted on a fine black horse.

At Tenth and Union the procession was led by a wagon in which were placed the coats of Company and which, also, held the fiag in position. A stop was made at Mrs. Wait'd to allow all to get a drink of water. Arriving at Fowler's, the boys took immediate possession of the grove. A target was placed in a field and each man was given three shots at the bull's eye, 200 yards away.

The winner was to get a prize. The following are the ones, in order of the best shooting: Mr. Ellsworth, Mr Abbott, Hugh Durham, Oscar Perkins, W. J. McCarty and Ward Arnold.

Considering that few of the boys have ever shot off a gun, they did remarka well, for few jumped more than two feet above ground while shooting, After the shooting match the boys enjoyed the hospitality of the Fowlersi A box was given to each one, contain ing the namo of some pretty country lassie, whom the young men were to eat supper with. Some boxes contained no names, there being not a sufficient number of ladies present to supply the demand. When the writer discovered that he, also, had been denied the priy nege ot snaring nis supper witu a country lass, he gently brushed away the tears that commenced to gather in the corner of his eyes and looked to the stars (that were not shining) for consolation. A br indie cur attacked a yaliant member ef the battalion and succeeded in tearing a patch from the seat of his pants. The member immediately charged the dog with his bayonet, after which bloody combat Capt.

Seaman was detailed to take a squad and retail the dog. After a bountiful repast, Col. Stevenson was called upon for a speech. The professor gave an excellent talk and was repeatedly cheered by his audience. An exhibition drill was then given for the benefit of the friends who had so courteously and generously received the battalion.

On the way home the boys sang the fol lowing song, which had been composed especially for the occasion by Quartermaster Otto Sump: Oh ring the good old banner, boys, We're going to pack our train, We're going to the country With a mighty glad refrain. We're marehing as we used to march, For the fun it does contain, While we're marching to the country. Oh 1 how the turkeys gobWed When the saw McCarty come. And the yellow-legged chickens Did skedaddle out for home. And how the people shouted When the Normalites did come, While we were marching to the country.

Yes, and there were pretty girls Who almost wept for joy, To think that every one of them Could get a Normal boy, Nor any of the hayseeds Would dare to us annoy, While we were marching through thecoun try. Steve's little Normalites Will be feelinar mighty sore, So the Normal hayseeds said And might have said some more. Had they not forgot, alas! We'd all been there before wmiewe were marctnng turoucn the coun try. Now get your Springfield rifle, boys And across your soulder sling We're going to Emnoria and to the K. S.

N. Three cheers for Col. Stevenson And for his brave young men While we are coming from the country. CHORUS. Hurrah! Hurran! We bring the jubilee, Hurrah I Hurrah I The spirit that makes us free.

The boys are all in uniform as all can plainly see. While we are marching through the coun try. Capt. Rosebush was allowed to ride with four young ladies as he pleaded a sore foot. He whipped his horses and tried to escape as the boys were running to stop ms team.

nam was again made at Mrs. Waite'a to allow the boy3 to get some water to drink. Prof. Stevenson gave a talk to the boys since it was the last time many of them would be together. It was almost ten o'clock wnen tne boys marched up Commercial street.

The picnic was highly successful and all declared they never had a better time and that now they would more fully understand why a soldier could sleep oft the hard ground and what they endured when they made long marches. Major Hill did not go to the picnic because he was on special duty at his house teaching manual of arms to a new son, who has been enrolled aa a member of the batallion's awkward squad. Prof. Stevenson has been eminently successful in Instilling patriotism in the minds of hia young and inexperienced charges, and as they leave the Normal, they will always re- or but. also, as the true friend and the true soldf er BliUNSW'IG.

liaecalaarate Sermon by Dr. Hewitt and Address to T. M. C. A.

by Key. Allison Yesterday The Dramatic Contest Saturday lsht OtUer Notes. The Tbaccala urate services at the Colleger filled the? Wm. Austin chapel with a throng of interested listeners. The doasology, the Gloria by the choir, scripture rea3ing by Rev.

Allison, of Holton, an anthem, prayer by Rev. Sauerber and a duet by the Misses McCabe and Bigger precsded the address by the president. Dr. Hewitt announced as his text, Hebrew XII-22, "But ye are come unto Mount Zion." An able discourse was then pre sented from which the following thoughts have been gathered: "It is important to know where we stand in relation to all things, but especially to spiritual things a knowledge of our relations with God will establish our relation to other things. "We all like sheep have gone astray." All are hurt, many are held captive by the fall.

Our attempts to riae have produced a history of failures. There is only one way out of this ruin, and that is absolutely by Mount Zion the law. Without holiness no one shall see God. We have attempted to approach Mount Zton, but the nearer we come the more terrible are its ter rors (verses 13 21.) Through that mountain we must go. God sent Christ to meet the fate at Sinai that otherwise we must have met At the base of the mountain ia his grave.

It opened a way for the house of Israel to pass through. A straight, well-lighted, beauteous way. Those who have accepted Him have already passed under Mount Sinai, and are come to Mount Zion. Mount Zion is a place first of absolute safety; second of riches, beauty and glory; third of association with the angels, with the general assembly of the church of the first born, with with Chriat. We are the children of God because the brethren of Christ; are citizens of this country together with Jesus the Son of God, the Son of woman.

Dr. Hewitt then addresss the seniord class in particular. This is the region of the grandest possibilities. lie has called you to it with an emphasis be cause of your advantages. Think what may foa yours.

The possibilities of such association is your greatest privi lege. With the wealth of the universe at your service, realize and lay hold of that for which God designed you? These possibilities call (or the discharge of duty. (25th verse.) See that you preserve a clear vision of the excellency cf glory: that you meet the conditions of this citizen-ship which is yours. Go out, attain for yourself and your brethren. He.

will touch your eyes so that you will see no longer darkness. For your best service, you will receive when that" day shall come: Well done, good and faithful servant: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." After a hymn sung with spirit by the congregation, McCabe closed with the benediction. Address to Y. 01. C.

A. and T. AV. C. The address to the Christian associations of the college wa3 given in the evening at the Presbyterian church by Rev.

Mr. Allison, of Holton. The President of the Y3 M. C. M.

H. H. Pratt, introduced the speaker. Mr. Allison( announced his intention of giving a simple address, which he hoped be helpful.

His discourse was an earnest plea to the young people to do their best, laying clearly before them, the need and the possibilities of such service. His line of thought lead them especially into the field of Christian work, where not only the of a few consecrated ones, but cf all Christ's flowers is needed. Dr. Hewitt supplemented Rev. Allison's remarks by the short story of man who did his best, a classmate of his, Mr.

McKay, of Formosa He considers his work with Mr. Gor don, of India, the grandest accomplish ment of the age. The meeting abounded in thoughts which all young people need to absorb. The singing, led by the College chapel choir, partook of the spirit of hearty enthusiasm, and altogether the even ing was one which will long carry its influence in the hearts of those ad dressed. Dr.

Hewitt tendered the thanks of the College and audience to Rev. AI lison for his able discourse. College Frajer Meeting. A prayer meeting at the college in the afternoon, with Mr. Satkey as leader, was one of the interesting fea tures of Baccalaurette Sunday.

About twenty-five ladies and gentlemen were there, moBt of them beiDg members of tha Y. W. and C. A's. There weie also present" Dr.

and Mrs. Hewitt, Prof. Ward, Rev. Bracken from town and Rev. Mr.

Allison, of Holton. All the members of the graduating class who were present, took occasion to speak of what the Christion life of the college has been to them, and most who spoke suggested helpful ways of utilizing the Christian privileges con stantly enjoyed here. It was a time of earnest thoughtfulnees, one that will be remembered with hearts uplifted in thanksgiving. Comparative Drama Entertainment. Saturday night witnessed a new and successful departure in the literary field of the college.

A large audience gathered in spite of the heavy wind to see the production of classical and modern plays in the original tongue. The first presented was a scene from The Frogs" of Aristophanes, in the Greek. This was followed by a Latin play, the second act of the Plautus. These were given as tar as possime in tne manner ot classical times, with the typical street scene and masked performers- The slaves, Zanthus and Tranio were the center of interest and often brought forth hearty laughter. A German farce, "One of Them Must Marry." a little love drama, was next on the programme.

The difficulties of the Prof essors Zorn in de ciding which it should be was the theme of the play. The last to be giv en was in the French, "La Cigale Chez Les Fournirs," ouin English, "The Grasshopper Among the Ants." Both were given with the characteristic spirit of these people and were heartily enjoyed. Latest U. S. Gov't Report SE, See Randolph for ice.

P. Free Sliver Catecliisni." As Mr. Charles Harris has had the kindness to propound a catechism, in part at least, for my benefit, I will endeavor to answer him. I pass over his personal allusions to myself, as my motives whether good, or bad, can have no bearing on my ar gument, and because Mr. Harris' view and mine as to what should be proper ly excluded from a discussion of this kind are probably diametrically op posed to each other.

The criticism on Mulhall's article in the North Ameri can Review is peculiarly unfortunate Mr. Harris, like a number of other would-be critics, undertakes to criticise what he has never read. This article contains not the faintest alia sion to the free coinage of silver, it is solely a cold blooded statement by professional statistican, giving facts and figures whih indicate that in vital energy the United States ia nearly equal to England, Geamany and France combined. If Mr. Harris wishes to prove tnac tnis country is one or no more importance than Mexico, (as his letter would seem to intimate he does) ne should produce statistics in support or nis extraordinary position.

He asserts that England is the ene my of the United States as far as the silver question is concerned, that she wants this country to adopt free coin age, and that it is a good plan to find out what our enemy wants, and do the other thing. A grown man, who is at the same time an intelligent being, does nothing because his enemy wants it, or does not want it, but acts as he bsheyes his own best interests dictate The statement that England wants the United States to adopt the free coinage ot silver 13 a supremely rid'eu lous one in view of the notorious fact that Great Britain for many years has done everything in her power to induce tne whole commercial world to adopt the single gold standard, and that the leading newspapers in England to-day are now crowing over what they allege are indications that freti. coinage will not appear in the platform of either of the two great parties, I agree with Mr. Harris that England is the enemy of this country on the money question, but she is so because she does everything she can to prevent the free coinage of silver. As London fixes the market prices of all commodities in general use throughout the world, it is to her interest that they should be measured by the gold standard.

Free coinage would not put us in the same position as Mexico, for the very sufficient reason that Mexico has a single silver standard, and we would then have a double standard consisting of both gold and silver. It might ossibly put us on a silver basis. Mr. larris confounds silver standard with silver basis, a very different thing If he had taken the trouble to read mv letters before attempting to answer them he would not have made this blunder. As the United States would not have a single silver standard, the Mexican dollar illustration can have no application.

Free coinage would not make our dollar worth only half what it is now. It would restore silver to its proper place under the constitution, and by increasing the demand for it would increase its purchasing power, it would deprive gold to an advantage to which it is not entitled, and instead of per mitting a few cornerers of the yellow metal to increase the gold yard stick (to which Mr. Harris refers) to a yard and a halt or two yards, would keep it at its normal and proper length of three feet. Our staples would com mand a better price in the foreign markets which fix it; with the in creased means of expenditure would come a capacity to pay higher wages which the wage earners could obtain by demanding them. The advocatea of free coinage do not say that it is a panacea ror all the ills.

financial and otherwise, which flesh is heir to, but their much more modest claim is, that the probability of free coinage substantially improving our material condition is so very great as to justify us in returning to it.
