A REVIVAL IN ATHLETICS

The present year has shown
very marked revival of interest i'm
athletics of all kinds at West Virg-
mia University. The gift of 81, 900
by Hon. Geo. c. Sturgss for
grandstand on the athletic field was
received with great pleasure, and
has helped to increase the athletic
spirit. The remarkable success of
the baseball team this spring is also
adding to the enthusiasm. The
team has defeated this spring such
strong competitors as the u. s.
Naval Academy, the University of
Wisconsin, Ohio State University,
DePauw University, Washington and
Jefferson College, Allegheny College,
Maryland Agricultural College, and
Grove City College. The Univer-
sity has undoubtedly the best team
in its history, team that will com
pare with the very best in the country.
For the first time also the Uniyer
sity was represented in the Inter-
Collegiate Track Meet at Pittsburg,
held on May 80. Ten representatives
of the University student body
participated in the various athletic
contests.

disturb the night were the yeowls of

by the shoulder and softly said;

One Of the Dearest Nomenioes Of the
Early Days of American
independence.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition man
age'aeni have determined to bring II possible,
the old "Liberiy B-ll'' from Philadelphia to
St. Louis for exhibition a, the Worlds Fair
in 1904. II the effort Is successful Il will
he the first visit TO the territory west Of the
Mississippi river Of this sacred memento Of
the early days of American independence.
psychic influence is In the prophetic
inscription Of the bell, "Prociaim Liberty
Throughout all the Land Unto all the Iu-
hAbiianis Thereof' tI.eviciicus ss,ro) cast
on II a quarter Of century before il accom-
p'ished its epochal task OF calling the colo
MES TO the first public reading of the
Declaration of Independence, six score aud
six years ago. There is a qualification to
the morbid and sentimental hint at the
muiabiliiy of things in the crack which has
parted the sounding lip of Liberty Bell and
silenced IL forever. Persons who do not
know ask with surprising interest how the
bell came by the crack, and are disappointed
to learn that 1t came, not In fire or battle,
but from the impact of its own clapper on
July 8. 1885, while iolIing the funeral of
John MARSHALL. II was cast in London in
1851 and II was cracked by blow of IDS
own clapper a month after 1t was hung in
State House at Philadelphia. Pass & Stow,
Americans, re-cast il on the same model
and with the same inscription The first
re-eas,ng was unsatisfactory and il was re-
cast again.
Contrary to the popular impression, the
bell did not ring at Philadelphia on July 4,
1916 after the passage of the Declaration of
Independence. It's service TO American
Independence was that it called the
colonists to public meeting at the State
House on July s. 1916, a, which the Dec
claration of Independence was first pro-
claimed.
II Liberty Bell comes to ST. Louis /, will
be the sixth journey which the bell has
taken The bells first journey was from
Philadelphia TO Allentown in 1877, to save
II from falling into the hands of The British,
when the Americans evacuated Philadelphia.
The other four journeys of the bell have
been TO American exposltons To New
Orleans on the east bank of the Mississippi
River, IN 1885 10 Chicago in 1893 to
Atlanta in 1895 and to Charleston in 1901.

THE ROUND TABLE.

Eugene r. ware OF Kansas, whose
name has been sent to the senate by
President Roosevelt for confrma.
ton as United States commissioner
of pensions to succeed H. c. Evans,
owes his appointment principally. i,
is said, to the presidents admiration
for ''IronquillPs best-known poem,
"The Washerwoman's Song" Mr..
Roosevelt read the poem about two
years ago and expressed desire to
meet the author. From this acquain-
lance sprang a friendship which
eliminated in Mr.. Wares present
good government position.
The poem that landed a S., 900
a year job is called The "Washer-
woman's Song" and is as follows
In n very humble cot,
In rather quiet spot.
In the suds and in the soap,
Worked woman full of hope;
Working, singing, all alone,
In a sort of undertone
y ''With the Savior for friend,
He will keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along,
had heard the semi-song.
And often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile;
But l never said a word
In regard 10 what heard,
Aud she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee,
Working all day long was she,
As her children, three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in the monotone the song
She was humming all day long;
''With The Savior for friend,
He will keep me to the end"
It's a song do not sing,
For scarce believe thing
OF the stories that are told
OF the miracle of old;
But know that her belief
Is the anodyne of grief,
And viii always u friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just trifie lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be;
But her spirits always rose,
Like The bubbles ia the clothes,
And. though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
OF a Savior and friend
Who would keep her TO the end.
have seen her rub and scrub
On the washboard in the tub,
While the baby, sopped in suds.
Rolled and iumbled, in the duds,
Or was padding in the pools
With old scissors stuck in spools;
She still humming of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs;
And should not wish TO strip
From that washwomans lip
Any song that she can sing.
Any hope that song can bring,
For the woman has friend
Who will keep her to the end.
