enough, they still retain many of the

it contains one very ridiculous element.

where the visible bond, usually typified
in civilization by the ring. this sister
steps forward and in place of the ring

The ceremony is concluded by n
very mournful song sung by the COM

her again to the home Of her parents.

They won by narrow margin. the
decision of the judges being two to
one in their favor, but the majority was
enough to put them in good spirits for
the reception at President Bells resi-
dence after the debate. The Ames men
won by virtue of better organization OF
their arguments. and by addressing
their arguments to the judges rather
than to the audience. This latter diff
ference in policy was especially no.
ticeable in tae speeches in rebuttal,
when the Drake men got the applause
and their opponents placed all their
emphasis upon a few telling points.
But the Drake boys. with the burden
of proof resting upon them, acquitted
themselves worthily, and neglected
no point Of argument or force of pres
entation. They coveredthe field clear
