DIVINE FIRE.

Genius is that gift Of the gods which
makes a man eight feet tail in q
crowd.
II he wishes to shake hands. no
body can reach up 10 him.
IL he has a notion to kiss a pretty
girl. he has to stoOp so enormously,
and make such a spectacle Of himself,
that there's no fun in IL.
In short, he is denied about all the
larger comforts.
Nor is he deserving OF any credit
II anybody praises him, he is not
tickled, knowing in his heart that he
can't help being a genius.
Prometheus was the first genius. He
is still getting his. they say. Most
anybody would rather be the iceman.

manager of the crew department, on behalf
of the athletic association, asked me to do
nate a launch to the university to be used

to YOU today via Pennsylvania railroad the
speed launch Dixie, which / ask that you
accept with my compliments and best
wishes for the success of the crew in the

with the Dixie for a week to see that every

The coaching launch was then formally
accepted and a set. of resolutions thanking
Mr. Collier for the gift was forwarded to

isfied the fight will be arranged.
