The Short Story Club held its regular ses-
sion on March %. President L. V. DeCos-
ter presiding. The program. arranged by
Prof Hyland c, Kirk, was fully up to the
clubs high standard, and its thorough APP
probation by large audience was fully
attested by applause frequent and pro-
longed.
The story of the evening was read by its
author Professor Kirk. and entitled, "a
Christmas Story" which the writer ex-
planned might , for next Christmas If a
little late this year. The story sustained
the reputation of the writer for clever and
unique work. while intoxicating some quite
unortbodox ideas regarding this great reli-

UP AGAINST REAL THING

Tomorrow morning the Central High
School football team VIII leave for Phil
adelphia, where II will play the Central
High School team OF that city.
Although the o street squad did not
win the championship. It had an ex-
ceptionaily strong team this year, and
from the spirit the men have shown in
the practice of the past week Coach
Shaw has no fears that his men will not
be a credit to the school.
The local boys realize that they are
up against the real thing in this game.
and, though the Quaker City team
greatly outweighs them. they are de-
pending on speed and condition to win.
Rumors which have been reaching this
city regarding the caliber of the Penn
sylvania team give it good reputation.
The Quakers have not lost a game this
season, and. furthermore have won
most OF their victories by large scores.
Their size and weight are a mystery 70
the local enthusiasts. but as they have
cleaned up most OF the high and preps
schools up that way. 1t is safe TO say
that they viii give the followers OF the
Dark Blue and White hard fight.
Old Track Rivals.
What makes this game more interest
ing than It would be ordinarily is the
fact that for the last four or five years
these schools have been rivals on the
track at the University OF Pennsylvania
games. Last year the Philadelphia
school finished ahead of the Washing
ton institution, and the local boys Will
put forth their best efforts 10 make
amends on the gridiron for what they
failed to do on the track.

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE 1T.

This week marks the ending of the first year
of the war between Russia and Japan. Twelve
months ago the struggle began off Port Arthur
Port Arthur which the japanese had from
China in 1894, but which the Powers had forced
them to give uP. In February, 1904, not one man
in hundred would have predicted for the little
brown men such success they have had. But
they have paid fearful price. In our daily pa
pers we have read the story of siege destined to
become memorable in history. To understand how
fierce has been the struggle, take this brief sum-
fming up from Golfers Weekly:
"The japanese fired two thousand tons of shells
into Port Arthur-over thirty millions dollars
worth. 1t cost the Russians as much in powder
and shot to defend themselves. Forty-millon bul-
lets were discharged during the siege. Seventy
five thousand died there, and fully three times
that many suffered from wounds. The death of
every man cost his weight in metal. Every gun
fired over twenty Times us own weight"
