to- Butler students. They all. as well as
every graduate of both sexes, know the
run. its shady and sunny banks, and many
of the boys know its swimming holes.
Two hundred yards above Ritter-avenue
bridge the stream has another turn. In
stead of coming from the northwest 1t Is
seen flowing from the east. with d thirty or
forty foot bank on the north side. This
bank is literally carDetcd with anemones,
Dutchman : breeches. blOOd-rOot and other
wild flowers in the spring. Just below
where Audubon road ends tree long
served a foot bridge. but the floods this
spring tore ii loose and the tree probably
has served as lire wood, for ii is nowhere
TO be seen The improvised foot bridge was
narrow and lay ten or fifteen feet above the
water. 1t was no easy task 10 cross il, and
occasionally boy with wet clothes could
be seen scrambling uD the bank.
A ZIGZAG LINE.
Above where the footbridge was there is
high bank on the south side of the
red-eyes and sunfish have been caught.
Looking east the course of the stream
can be traced by the zigzag line that
seems to have been cut in pretty piece of
bottom land that is well covered with blue
grass. At the Arlington-avenue bridge,
which is high above the water, a good
view of the stream. as it flows westward
or comes from the east, can be obtained.
East of the bridge the north bank occa-
sionally rises high above the water, and
at one point it assumes the form of bluff.
with shrubbery and willows growing down
to the edge of the stream.
Almost every foot of Pleasant run from
Washington street north and east for miles
is interesting to nature lovers / have
walked its paths many times and always
found something new TO admire. CatbirdS,
robins thruSheS and other birds sing in the
trees above the stream and drink and
battle in it's waters. Muskrats are occa-
sionally seen and rabbits often are fright
ened from thicket. If you sit on the bank
water snake catches a minnow, ana you
also may be rewarded with the view of
water moccasin gliding from one side of
the stream to the other. Crows, jays and
blackblrds break the quiet of the scene,
for they are ever present, and sometimes
feminine laugh or the voices OF boys and
girls reminds you that you are not alone
in your enjoyment.
Among the artists who have sketched
and painted some of the scenes along the
run are T. c. Steele, r. B. Gruelle. VIII

and Moving Time Is Here

see how such mistake had occurred, but
they had absolutely no record of such an
order. They were very busy, but they
would send their vans late in the after
noon and get her moved by night surely
mo. you WON'T said Mrs. Blank. II
cannot possibly get moved till tomorrow
now. and III get somebody else for that,
thank you
So she ordered her vans from another
transfer company and spent the afternoon
waiting in her packed-up house.
Evening came and with it Mr.. Blank. He
made light of the misfortunes The fur
mace had been allowed to go out, but there
were fires In the CRATES; the gas range had
been disconnected. but the CRATES would
serve for cooking as well for heating.
1t was very jolly. and picnicky. They car
ried the edibles from the kitchen to their
room upstairs-shades were drawn all over
the house and they did not care to cook and
eat IN full gaze of the public-and Mr..
Blank proceeded to light the gas to read,
while Mrs Blank prepared their picnic sup
per over the CRATE That is, he lighted a
match to light the gas, but there was no
gas.
Not lamp in the house!" gasped Mrs.
Blank Nor a candle. I've got a little coal
oil. I'll borrow a lamp from Mrs. Next
door-I know she has a little one she uses
in the cellar
The lamp was borrowed. filled with coal
oil, and that furnished light for the Blank
house for the part of the night that the
family sat up.
That is practically the end of the story
for the next day they moved But before
they moved two things happened. The
transfer company from whom Mrs. Blank
ordered her vans the day before sent their
wagon at a few minutes past 4; at
quarter past Z the transfer company
from whom Mrs. Blank ordered van on
Saturday sent their wagon. and five min
utes later transfer company of whom Mrs.
Blank never heard sent their van. And
she discovered that the big bottle from
which she filled her lamp the night before
was her gasoline bottle, which was, in out
ward and visible signs. exactly like her
kerosene oil bottle
Mrs. Blank doesn't know whether there is
a moral to the story or not; but she doesn't
really care about moving.

spots along Pleasant run. At E!enberg-
er's woods the course OF the stream turns

form arch that extends from the east

avenue bridge. Looking west from the

Just above the bridge the stream winds

and suckers can be seen. Farther down lS

advantages many other old swimming holes
have not; ii is arched over with trees,
the branches and leaves making a well

current constantly running through, thus
giving the bathers fresh water all the time
they are in 1t. There are plenty OF otner
good swimming holes in the creek, but this
is the most popular because ii Is the
best screened from houses and roadways
short distance below the hole Is
sulphur spring. marked by a yellowish or
orange circle, whose overflow can be traced
to the creek by a yellowsh-red irregular
line. Across the run is a pretty grove of
forest trees known as Ellenberger'S woods
and familiar to every Butler student, for
no students education is complete until
he or she has picnicked in the grove, botan-
lied il thoroughly, plucked from its wealth
of wild flowers, or visited it by moonlight
properly chaperoned, and participated in
marshmallow roast.
STRANGE STORIES TOLD.
And what happens there sometimes at
midnight, when the frat "spiking" season
is over and initiation begins, only the
Greeks, the owls and the four-footed noe
turnal wanderers can tell. Strange stories
have been told by nearby residents. but
people who are aroused from their sleep
by blood-curdling yells are apt to imagine
a great deal, and the tales of weird dOings
may be overdrawn. Anyhow, what mat
ters il If procession of white-robed stu
dents carrying a casket passes along the
street to the run at midnight and lowers
a coffined initiate into the water. No human
skeleton ever has been found in the classic
confines of Irving ton-none, at least, since
the secrets of the Holmes house We're dis
closed-and no student honored by cleo
ton into a college fraternity ever has COM
planned of what happens to him. He takes
his medicine, to use a slang phrase, and
waits until next year TO assist in admin

tim.

Pleasant run is a pretty stream, but 1T
is not all beautiful. That portion between
Fort Hilton L. Brown and Garfield Park
and from the dam in the park to White
river has been defled by civilization. 1t
may seem contradictional to say that civil
ization, which is supposed TO educate and
refine, defle, but it is true as TO
streams that run through cities. Pleasant

is an eyesore. In summertime old tin cans.

a concert every Sunday afternoon at River

and Brookside Parks every other Sunday
afternoon.
These concerts have been so popular
that the board feels they should not be dis
pensed with. They attract thousands of
people to the parks and 1 think do mate
rial good 10 the city and the people.
I'VE have also decided" continued Pres
ident Coffin, Ito put in two more baseball
diamonds at Riverside for the benefit OF
the local clubs. As this is the purely Amer

what it can TO help it along There Will

OUTDOOR SPORTS.
You see the tendency for outdoor sports
has increased to such a great extent in the
past few years and Riverside Park affords
such excellent opportunities in this direc-
tion that we will try and arrange every ac-
commodation for those who desire 10 enjoy
the various games"
''Will golf be as popular as ever?' was
asked the president.
Yes" he said. golf will be played as
much the coming summer as ever. from
all indications. The golf course was en-
larged year before last by the addition OF
nine holes, thereby making il full eight
een-hole course which Is said 10 be the.
best public course in the country.
Mr. Lee Nelson, who has heretofore
had charge of the links at the Country
Club, has been employed by the board and
we think the golf grounds will be ready
Tor the public about the time the parks
open.
The board has also leased 10 the High
land Golf Club President Coffin went on
10 say, the ground west OF the river. where
the club has at it's own expense. made a
very fine eighteen-hole course. This ground
has never been used for park purposes and
therefore IL would have required quite =
sum of money TO get il in shape. As IL is
now, this club will improve the grounds
and when they are again turned back TO
the city they will be in excellent condition
and the board will not be out OF pocket a
