He JeS Had to Fight.

"Bill Brown" is a colored boy about
Is years of age. He is even more col
cred than his name would indicate
he is coal black. He is a wise youth
is Bill, as is evidenced by the records
of the Juvenile Court.
1t appears that some months ago Bill
was arrested for roaming the streets
at unseemly hours and hailed before
the Juvenile Court Judge Murasky,
on his promise to keep off the streets,
released him, but warned him that his
actions would be watched and ordered
him to appear every Friday and let
the court know how he was getting
along. For several weeks Bill reported
and his statements that he was 'gettin'
along all right, mistah." were verified
by the reports of the probation officer.
One Friday afternoon Bill appeared
as usual, but this time he sat in the
jury box with the boys who had been
arrested during the week
How is this, William" said Judge
Murasky as the black boy stepped up
to the bench in response to his name.
Il thought you promised to behave
yourself. 1 see you are charged with
fighting"
II couldn't help it, mistah.'' said Bill
with a sly grin. Il jes' has to fight.
You've been pretty good to me"
well, WILL" interrupted the court,
what have 1 got to do with it?''
''Well, mistah,'' responded Bill, hang
ing his head, but slyly gazing at the
Judge, yer sent a white kid to de
Boys and Girls Aid the day yer let
me go. Dat kid got erway. and de
odder night he met me and said you
was no good. Mistah, L jes' had to
fight
Bill is still on probation.

Cloudy in the South.

Every old Stanford man will tell
this story, but for those who know no
Stanford men it will have a refreshing
ly humorous appeal.
In the old days when Bristow
Adams, Charlie Field and Bill irwin
were livening the prosaic atmosphere
down at DR.. Jordan's school it hap
pened that there came to the college
a freshman from the city who had
more money than wisdom and whose
dearest desire was to become mem
Der of one of the students fraternities-
He did not hesitate to voice his wishes
to fraternity men, q rank breach of
college etiquette.
SO it was that a dozen or more of
the jokers got together and sent bid
to the freshman to join their fraternity,
which they said was one of the strong
est in the East, but which was carry
ing on a temporary sub rosa existence
at Stanford. They said that he was 70

arboretum at a late hour of the night
with a bus of sufficient dimensions to
carry all the loyal brothers to May
field, where the initiation services were
to be held. He was there with the
bus and to Mayfield some twenty odd
of the mystic circle hied themselves.
The initiation, which was drawn from
the Koran, Josephus, the Talmud and
half a dozen other sources, was
noble one. Likewise the feed"
which followed-paid for, by the way,
by the novitiate.
In the height of the fun Bill Irwin
arose and with great dignity read
letter from one of the prominent MEM
bers of the faculty. regretting that he
was unable to be present at the festivi-
ties. but hoping that the newly initi-
ated brother would not be long in
coming to him and making himself
known. After the reading the let
ter the neophyte was told that out of
due courtesy he should call on Pro-
fessor Blank the very next morning.
Remember to give him the password.

and the sign-left forefinger to the
side of the nose.
Down at Stanford they still tell of
the meeting the next day between the
freshman and Professor Blank when
the boy brought his instructor to the
front door from his breakfast table to
look gravely at him over his left fore
finger and tell him that it was cloudy
in the south tonight"

idea, the giving to the world of the
particular message that the composer
had in mind, shall not be wanting.
There is always some particular
theme which is to dominate the whole
fugue, while other less important
themes are brought in to make the
work perfect whole.
A fugue is really to be lkened to a
play. For instance, there is the central
and most important theme equivalent
to the hero or heroine of the play), next
a secondary theme, and often a third,
taking the places of the lesser charac-
tiers, while there are innumerable small
passages whose use is merely to hold
the more important passages together
to effect a change of key, and so on.

from this point of view one finds it

when taken as a whole, and evidently

seems the aim of each voice to ex-

possible, and as the twistings and turn

more involved one becomes conscious

voices until, in the course of the ever
