The men who are connected with the
carnival are very gentlemanly and ac-
commodating, and the company is doing
all it agreed to do in putting up good
clean show. No gambling of any kind
is allowed on the grounds and not a bit
of grating has yet come to the atten-
tion of the authorities. Good crowds
have been in attendance the past two
days, the surrounding towns being well
represented. Bigger crowds are ex-
pected the last days of the week.
The Woodmen are we'll pleased with
the way the attractions are taking and
the good words that are being said of
the carnival. The crowd each day is a
good-natured one and all appear to be
having good time.

the Oakes boys, and although the

Oakes gave them shut out, the score
being 2 to 0. Game was called at end

The first contingent Of American
Rhodes scholars has now been at OK
for for more than whole academic
year. Already the scholars have had
many experiences and gained many
impressions that may be of interest
to their fellow countrymen.
Their reception, on the whole, has
been a friendly one. Although they
found their English cousins less de-
rlonstrative in their bonhomie than
themselves, and although they thought
it queer at first that these cousins on
being introduced to man merely said
How d'you do" with perhaps dis
tant nod, they soon discovered that
this reserve was rather trick of man
ner than an indication of unsociabili-
ty.

here is good deal of novelty to
the Americans. In the morning the

onto his knees and sobbed before her.

woman, drawing back her skirts,
which the man attempted to cling
pathetically to- Where's my Pete
who never did a wrong to anybody
and who always was bullied and
licked by Tom? | won't save him,
tell you | won't"
The day of the trial came, and the
prosecuting attorney arose calm and
confident. Here was an easy case
and 1t promised to be brief He
would get a quick conviction and the
accompanying glory and would hurry
along other cases and show a dispatch
of business which would reflect great
credit upon his office. The convic-
ton was sure because the boys moth
err was to go on the stand to testify
against him. 1t was lucky thing,
because she had been the only wit
ness of the murder. and without her
testimony only the weakest sort of
circumstantial evidence would have
to be relied on. But he had it from
her own lips that she proposed to tell
the truth and bring the murderer to
justice.
1t had been brutal murder too

brother Tom. AS nearly as could be

years ago. And in her old ears there
rang again the passionate words he
had whispered there in the days long
forgotten. She saw him beside her
at the altar on that day of days when
all the future was bright and all the
sky rose-colored.
And out of the mist came the out
lines of the cradle in which she had
rocked her first-born-the cradle Nat
had built with his own hands.
Then she heard as in a dream the
SNUG voice of the prosecuting attor-
ney;
Now, Mrs. Harter, tell the jury
your name and relationship to the
prisoner and the victim of this brutal
murder, and in your own words tell
if you saw the deed committed and
just how it happened"
Turning bewildered eyes on the
lawyer, the court and the jury the
woman gave her name and address.
Then gazing straight at her husband
through tear-filled eyes, she said, with
perfect deliberation and emphasis;
tom and Pete had some words
about some money and Pete got mad
and said: I'll kill you, you low,
good-for-nothin' blaggard; that's what
I'll do and he struck him with
chair and drove him back into the cor
ner. Tom was tryin' to defend him
SELF and he saw he was goin' to get
his bead broke, and there was MUIR
der in Pete's eyes, and Tom reached
out for the knife that was on the
table and struck at Pete. And it
killed him. And that was all there
was to It,"
During this testimony the prisoner
and his father had leaped to their
feet, the former with amazement de-
picted on his face, the latter with
tears starting to his eyes, while the
prosecuting attorney sat back with
mouth wide open, so thoroughly par
alyzed that he never protested as the
old woman, at the end of her testi-
mony, arose and stepped down from
the witness chair.
She never looked at the prisoner,
but walked straight to her husband
and, hand in hand, they walked from
the court room.

Athletics Enjoyed by All.
Nearly every Oxford undergraduate
goes in for some kind of sport. For
there is such a varied list to choose
from that every one can find sport
to his liking; the climate is such as
to require a great deal of exercise,
and it is considered each mans boun-
den duty to help maintain the ath-
letic prestige of his college. In the
performance of this duty the American
Rhodians have certainly not proven
laggards. Though the report that
they are all athletes is exaggerated,
they are nearly all lovers of outdoor
sport, and have entered into Oxford
athletics with great heartiness and
success. This is not the place to
enumerate their laurels at length, but
| must at least proclaim that they won
seven out of nine events in the fresh
man sports, and that many of their
number have gained distinction for
themselves in rowing-a sport with

Afternoon in Open Air.

The afternoon until or 5 O'Clock
is spent out of doors, whether the
sport be rowing, football, hockey,
cricket, lacrosse, golf, tennis, polo,
hunting, running, riding, cycling, or
merely walking. The Oxford under
graduate feels that he cannot exist
unless he exercises in the open air
in the afternoon. About 430 every
body goes somewhere for tea wheth.
er it be to fellow-student's room at
college, a public tea room, or the
home of friend. The little college
tea parties usually last till about 6
O'Clock, leaving a free hour between
