THE Pixies PEAK ITERATION.

LbE FIk = y EhAh
The Pixies Peak celebration is
merely one among a multitude of evil
dences which show how keenly We are
coming to appreciate the Importance
OF the westward movement which has
overspread the interior of the CONT
nent. and passing the western noun
tains, has now possessed the country
to the Pacific coast The consistency
and significance of that movement
were not SO apparent to those who led
OF followed in its earlier stages, but
they stand out in retrospect in bold
relief.
The mountain peak which the ro-
mantle young army officer first caught
glimpse OF just a century ago has
stood for three generations one OF the
great familiar landmarks on the path
OF the westward moving army of occu-
patton; and the name in large measure
suggests the experiences, the hard
ships. the aspirations and, more than
all. the undesirable victory which
constitute the story of western civil
lied life. Commemoration of Lieuten-
ant Pixies discovery thus really signi-
fies an awakening consciousness -
the importance and unity of western
history. etJe

The EmperOr'S Clothes

EOriginal.l
Paul Courtney was an unsuccessful
poet.
1t happened that Mrs. Paul Court
ney was very practical. Few women
have so completely depended on their
brains instead Of their feelings for re-
suits as she. Among other traits she
possessed that Of observ ton, and
what she observed she G Id utilize.
One evening she read to L. little son
story of Hans Andersen :. An en-
peror was fond of dress wo rogues
came to town and clals ID to make
clothes Of 50 fine a text that those
who We're stupid and UNI ted for their
positions could not soc hem. The
rogues were ordered to Ike clothes
for the emperor, When taay were be-
ing woven he sent his prime minister
to see how they looked The rogues
were working on nothi@ss. The minis
ter supposed he was too stupid to see
the fabric and untitled for his posi-
ton. Not willing to admit his I'M
worthlness, he reported to the emperor
that the clothes were splendid. 9th
ers made the same report. When the
clothes came the emperor saw nothing,
but, not willing to admit his deticien-
cics, accepted them, put them on and
appeared In them before the whole
city. All. supposing that they We're de-
flclent. applauded the clothes except a
little child. who said, The emperor
has nothing on at all"
That night Mrs. Courtney stole one
| OF her husbands oft neglected poems
entitled I'm Imitation of Poe" put an
appropriate heading on 1t. copied II In
Poe's handwriting (she possessed q
autograph speclmenl, signed his name

stating that she had found Il among
the papers Of her grandfather. who was

She signed a fictitious name to her let

One evening Paul Courtney plcke,

ton and establishment. he called hi

been taken with his work, She advises

The editor gave way to thought for
awhile and then said:

before his poems and his physiognomy
were alike familiar to the public.
What the critical journals pronounced
excellent the general reader accepted
as such. Every magazine tried to Sc

had all the space he wanted in one.
At the end Of year the poet was
notified that he would be given no
more space in Song and Story. HAY
ing made name for himself, he was
not disturbed. But In time the editors
OF other periodicals noticed the omis-
sion, and Courtney's poems began to

him that he had had his day In the

He wisely decided to take her advice.

Chicago, Nov. S.-Football activity on Mar

the maroon squad this morning and an exhibition
game between the Hyde Park and the university
high schools In the afternoon. Assistant Coaches
Speik and De Tray took charge Of the maroon
regulars, scrubs and freshmen and sent them
thru hard practice in formation and possibly
scrimmage work.
The varsity defense again proved penetable
to the freshmen in today's scrimmage, and the
frst-year men succeeded in making their second
touchdown of the week. Young, who was play
ing quarterback, made his getaway on a quarter
back run and crossed the goal line at least q
yard ahead of the nearest pursuer. The work Of
