TO ny LOVE

Outside, the blasts of winter blow
Across the city clad In white;
Each flake OF madly driven snow
A demon seems with teeth that bite;
The windows rattle as with fright,
And winds the chimney whistle through;
Alone with memory, tonight,
I'm happy, thinking, love OF you.
Within, watch the embers glow,
The slender flames In sudden flight
Leap from the cracking logs and throw
Around the room golden light;
Romantic tales their tongues recite.
And mellow songs, as II they knew,
Alone with memory tonight.
I'm happy, thinking. love OF you.
From Dreamland all my fancies flow;
Ny friendly books. with faces bright,
Return my listless gaze and show
No sign of sorrow at the slight.
Hark! From the steeple's dizzy height
The bells the air with echoes strew:
alone with memory. tonight.
I'm happy, thinking, love OF YOU.
ENVOI.
Love, let this valentine invite
Your sweeter voice to echo too:
Alone with memory, tonight.
I'm happy. thinking, love OF you.

AN ORDERLY CROWD.

The crowd which filled the town,
despite the fact that It was largely
sprinkled with the riff-raff, was an ex-
ceedingly well behaved one, and there
was no serious disturbance of any kind.
City Marshal Grimshaw had an extra
force of officers sworn in, and Sheriff
Burr, with number of his deputies
was on hand. but they were not called
upon to make single arrest.
Not few of the visitors had inbibed
of the cheering cup too freely, but It had
not made them Ill humored, and they
did not prove troublesome. Every
thing passed off as smoothly as could
be expected with so large a crowd and
the gentlemen having the affair in
charge are to be praised for a consum-
nation of their most sanguine hopes

1t was tired but good natured crowd
that fought for seats and standing room
in the trains which began to leave San
Pedro at o'clock in the evening. The
wind and flying sand had caused physi-
cal suffering which under other circum-
stances would have been agony. but the
event had overcome this and as the ex-
hausted celebraters sank wearily into
their seats or clung to the arms of the
car seats and were whirled home, each

Jessie Cole The committee in charge of the

Weldon, Miss Ida Tattersall and Miss Char
lotte Grant.
The musical interests of Brown are IN
mixed up state. An attempt was made to
organize musical club at the Women's Col
lege, but it was unsuccessful. There can be
no glee club this year for the lack OF first
class tenor. IL was tho weakness OF tho tenor
section which crippled the club last year, and
"a thorough canvass of the freshman class has
failed to reveal any tenor voice of sufficient
strength and cultivation. A necleus of glee
club men remains, and soon material is
developed the college will be musically repre-
sented again.
The instrumental clubs arc in the same
sorry plight. There are not enough banjo,
guitar and mandolin players in college to
form club Those possessing even average
knowledge of tho instruments are greatly in
the minority. Men cannot be found who play
an instrument well, to say nothing of being
able to double up or play two Instruments
1t is triho more work to teach a man to play
banjo than to teach him football and 1t is
not SO fascinating an occupation.
Thus ii will be seen that the college musical
clups, which have heretofore possessed such
a uniformly high standard of excellence, are
this year seriously crippled through no fault
of those who arc most eager TO sustain their
splendid reputation. An adjustment is soon
