IT'S A GOOD THING---PUSH IT ALONG
SAINT MATTHEW.

Mary was espoused to Joseph, before
they came together, she was found with
child of the Holy Ghost.
10 Then o'seph her husband, being a
Just man, oand not willing to make her
publick example, was minded to put her
away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared
unto him in dream, saying, Jo seph,
Thou son of avid, fear not to take unto
thee Ma'ry thy wife: for pthat which is
aconceivcd in her is OF the Holy Ghost.
81 And she shall bring forth son, and

The school election in Delta
on May 3rd, will be an impor-
tant one, in as much as three
directors are to be elected; one
for five, one for four and one
for three years. Our school
matters should be in good hands,
and the INDEPENDENT feels sure
the people will take enough in
terest in this election to see that
they are kept in good hands, as
they have been heretofore. At
paesent the school conditions in
Delta are of the best in the en-
tire state. The school attend
ance and requirements have been
growing at a wonderfully rapid
rate in the last two years, and
they will continue to grow.
Hence we should take heed in
the coming election. 1t will be
hard to remedy any neglect or
misstep now taken, for the men
then selected are expected to
control our school affairs for
years. 1t does not require that
there should be great fuss and
feathers in a school campaign,
as sometimes happens, but care
should be taken to elect perfect
ly satisfactory men for directors.

SEASON IS FAILURE
Earlham Students Despond.
ent Over Showing of
Basketball Team
BASEBALL TALK is HEARD

In the athletics during the winter
season, Earlham has not met with as
much success as in former years. The
basketball team which is the chief
sport of the winter term was almost
total failure. At the beginning of
the season the secondary champion
ship of the state looked good to Earl
ham but Rose Poly and DePauw prov
ed too much and these hopes went
glimmering. The candidates for the
team seemed to know the game 20
that the fault OF not having winning
team cannot be laid at their door. The
gymnastic classes were well attended
and much interest was manifested by
the students. Financially the athle-
tics OF the winter term were a great
success. Manager Jones of the basket
ball team has not filed his final re-
port but states that he has some
money to turn into the treasury.
Commencing Monday Coach Vail
will direct all attention of the stu
dents to base ball and track athletics.
Earlham has a very hard season in
these lines and 1t is up to Coach Vail
to demonstrate that he is capable of
making first class base ball team
with the material and a track team
that cannot be beat Never before
has the college had as much material
to pick from and there is no reason
why Earlham should not win first
place in the I. C.. A. l.. meet which is
to be held here this summer.

Earlham Students Realize
That Only a Few Weeks
School Remains.
WINTER TERM EvENTFUL

With just a few weeks more Of
school before them the students of
Earlham college are settling down for
hard, earnest work. This will mark
the conclusion OF the winter term
which has been one of the most sue
cessful years In the history OF the col
1ege. In every phase the work has
been raised to higher standing and
much credit Is due the faculty for the
manner In which they have conducted
their classes.
It is stated by the members OF the
faculty that the grades made by the
students this term are on a higher
average than In previous terms. The
work that has been offered is also
much broader than in other years.
The classes have been larger and It
isestated that the terms enrolment is
the largest in the history OF the col
lege.
The social phase OF the college has
not been neglected this term. The re-
ception at the beginning Of the term
was q marked success. The reception
~ the dormatory students was well
attended and the faculty reception
which was given last week was the dis
tinct social event Of the season The
meetings OF the Ionian and Phoenix
societies have met with success, hav-
Ing q large Increase In membership

tngs.

indianapolis, March 3.
Senator Kirkman Of Richmond, was
a much ruffled law maker late Satur-
day afternoon. So ruffled was he that
he scnrried hither and thither about
the senate chamber button-holing
members Of the upper house, while ask
ing. Have you got It." Have you got

that the digpified senator from Wayne
was playing1a game Of Button, But

Even the doorkeepers and spectators
were cornered by Kirkman. As the
chase continued the senator's puzzled
face grew redder and redder. After
the attention of several senators had
been taken from t3le consideration of
the appropriations bill by the strenu-
GUS efforts of the gentleman from
Wayne to find that pulling some
thing, he was asked what was the
matter.

man in a tone Of voice generally sig

What's the matter? There is matter

mond, of course"
Puzzled almost as much as Kirkman,
the questioner stood stumped until
Kirkman exnlained.
He told Of the several boxes of roses
he had received from admiring tenn
perance friends in Richmond. a. a to-
ken Of appreciation Of his efforts to
prevent the passage Of the Tomlinson
option repeal bill in the senate.
Kirkman had looked In almost every
nook and crany of the old senate
chamber. when he happened to peep
under the desk of Senator Pearson of
Bedford. There was q box labeled

important committees and has worked
hard to bring out good bills and have
them passed. He has introduced but
four bills. He has preferred to help
select the good bills for passage rath-
er than try to log-roll for bills Of his
own. Wasmuth has not been q noisy
member. having made few speeches,
but he has been taken into the coun-
ellis of the republicans and his opin-
ions and advice have been heeded.
Representatives McGinniss. OF Nor

Two of the Y. N. C. A. Teams
Scheduled for a Game
This Evening.
EXTEND PLAYING SEASON
SEASON WILL NOT CLOSE UNTIL
LATE IN APRIL, EACH TEAM TO
MEET OTHERS IN SERIES OF
TWO CONTESTS.

When Chicago meets Yale in the Y.
NJ. C. A. basketball game this even
ing, great exhibition OF the sport
may be expected. The midway team
places a fast and furious game and
just now is striving to show the SUI.
periority of the western game over
the eastern. Yale has the credit OF
one victory over the Maroons and will
go into the struggle tonight expecting
to win.
All the teams in the Y. NJ. c. A.
league have adopted the name of a
college or university. When first or
ganized the teams were designated by
the number Of the squads. To see an
account Of a game between Yale and
Harvard, Princeton and Cornell. ILL
nois and Chicago, out in this neck OF
the woods is going some.
The athletic committee met Satur-
day afternoon and decided to extend
the season three weeks longer in
April. This gives each team chance
to meet each other in two games.
Games are to be played Monday, Wed.
nesday and Friday nights following
Senior class work.
Ferling. who has been playing a
guard for Princeton has been trans
ferred by the committee to Chicago.
This gives the latter team, which was
regarded as one of the weaker. anoth-
er strong guard. With Alderman and
Ferling in the back field, opposing
forwards will have to step some to
score.
Yale has acquired Gilchrist through
q trade and Princeton will have Paul
Miller in its lineup. Gilchrist, Spang.
Ter and Wiechman ought to make a
combination able to secure goals for
Yale.
