Notes OF a BugIe We're Substituted

Destruction OF Bell In Recent Fire.

Among Trinity traditions none Il

the annual lowering OF the flag b,
the senior class. 1t takes place a
the instant of sunset and marks the
official close Of the college year.
wealth Of sentiment has grown ur
around this custom and 1t is wit
messed every year by larger and
larger numbers' of the people of the
city and college communities.
The moment of sunset has fcr
many years been announced to all
within the range OF hearing by the
college bell. rne sunset bell, as II
has come to be called Is one OF the
fixed customs OF the college. On ac.
count of the destruction of the old
bell BY the fire last January. and the
failure OF the new bell TO arrive in
time there was no sunset bell yes
terday evening to announce the
moment. 1t was made known TO the
group of seniors gathered about the
tiagpole by the clear notes OF a
bugler stationed on the steps of the
Memorial hall.
The ceremony attracted larger
crowd this year than Il has ever done
before. II included generous
sprinkling OF commencement visitors
and alumni. as well as good quota
from the city itself who went oat

was slow and subdued music and
fitted magicaliy with soft afr of the
waning June afternoon. OF all the
commencement this scene was most
beautiful. The brilliant white Of
the dresses, the duller shades of the
mems suits and the somber black
robes OF the seniors themselves, all
set over against background Of
dark green below and grayish- blue
overhead. made picture possessing
all of the elements Of the wild and
beautiful.
Promptly at 7.2l the notes Of the
bugle sounding taps broke upon the
still evening air and Instantly every
head vas barred. The somber-garbed
group OF seniors at the foot OF the
tall tisgpole took of their scholars
caps and looked upward watching
Old Glory make its way slowly down
the pole. II was q minute OF abso-
lutte stiffness as the president of the
class pulled the fag slowly down.
There was an element Of sadness In
the ceremony and everyone felt Il to

end OF the year--and endings are

soon dispelled. Hardly had the Gag

TRUTH IS MOTHER OF VIRTUE
In Ancient Mythology She Was Pledge of Honesty and 5uIwark
 of Honor.

In the ancient mythology, Truth was goddess and the mother of Virtue. She wore garments as white as snow; her looks were serene, pleas ant, courteous, cheerful, and yet modest; she was the pledge of all honesty, the bulwark of honor and the light and joy of human society.
 Such was truth, which in these days is much abused. We are so apt to think if we have truth on our side we have right to be proud, arbi- trary and even insolent; but when we act that way we may be sure that the truth is not our ally. Truth is not rude and unkind. It does not bawl and below and shake its fist under our nose. Truth is friendly, and when it isn't it is a lie.
 There Is another thought one gets from the mythological faith, and that is this, that Virtue is the daugh- ter of Truth. So if a mans life is presided over by truth, it is necessa- rily virtuous and honorable life. and if it isn't that kind of life he may know that it is born of error and wrong. When we see a man at- tacking another or another's cause with prejudice, hate and angry words, we turn about and go ur street in sorrow, for that man who has never learned that there can be no truth not born of virtue.--Ohio State Journal.

GERMlNS IN THE HOLY LAND
Subjects of the Kaiser Are Rapidly Gaining Firm Foothod
 in Palestine.

Tourists who visit the Holy Land note the progress of its Germaniza- ton. On the road to Nazareth most of the inns are kept by Germans. Nearly all the streets of Jaffa have the aspect of the Prussian village. The houses have red roofs and are surrounded by the little garden so dear to Gretchen. Traces of the Teuton are everywhere. The Syrian has been supplanted by the Berliner, who has migrated from the banks of the Spree to the borders of the Jor- dan in order to make his fortune. German is spoken everywhere.
 The American consul himself is German. Souvenirs of the kaiser abound everywhere. Here one shows a fountain that he erected to furnish water to the pilgrims dying of thirst; there is a road that he lev elled to tighten the fatigue of the journey. Enthusiastic guides show on the Mount of the Ascension, be- side an imprint attributed to the Fhrist or to Mahomet, according to ones faith, a human foot, well marked in the rock, of which he will confidentially murmur in the ear of the tourist: S'William H. stepped there." In hundred years perhaps this will solidify into the legend of William II.-Le Cri de Paris.

TURNED OUT TO BE GOOD Tlr
dends on Stock Given Him for a Favor.

The room clerk took out a check for $1.50 drawn on a Philadelphia bank and indorsed it. "That's my semi-annual dividerd," he remarked.
 "One night about six years ago a man telephoned over to me from Philadelphia to say that he had left some valuable patented models be- hind. He said he was afraid to trust an ordinary messenger, and asked if l could arrange to bring the things over myself. l was to go off duty at eleven o'clock, so 1 caught the mid night train, delivered the models, and was back in good time for my work next day, which began at noon. The owner of the models paid all my expenses, and then gave me $1OO worth of stock .n the concern he had just formed. 1T did not think any, thing much of it, but in six months arrived check for $1.50, and I have drawn altogether SIS in the same way.

WHEN scHUMANN WAS SORE.

An amusing story of Schumann is told by a Vienna critic. The com poser once accompanied his wife. who was even then celebrated plan ist, to the palace, when she went to play before the king of Holland, and was gratifed by the monarch's com pliments of her performance. The composer was somewhat surprised, however, when the king turned to him and courteously inquired "Are you also musical ?' They say Schu- mann was so indignant that he didn't speak for an hour.

WRONG PLACE TO BUY MEAT
Ahsent-Mnded Girl Is Distressed, but She Gave Joy to the
 Postal Clerks.

The absent-minded young woman emerged from the branch postoffice station with a flushed face and met friend at the corner. "Oh, Stella" she exclaimed, 'let me weep on your shoulder 1"
 What's the matter this time?"
 "You may we'll say this time.' I am always wondering if I have yet done the most awful thing possible in the world, or if the worst is yet to come. When I left home a few minutes ago I intended to do two errands. One was to buy some post age stamps and the other was-well, just now I walked up to the stamp window and said blandly to the clerk, Please give me pound and q half of lamb chops Do you wonder that I want to cry1 Could anything be much worsep For tunately, the clerK knows me. UT course he grinned and said, Not here, Miss Wander. The butchers shops in the next block Of course he'll tell all the other clerks, and of course 1 can't blame them for laughing. If l could be sure that this experience would cure me l could bear it better"
 Don't worry. Just think how much joy you have given the clerks. Count it a contribution to the gayety of nations and season your lamb chops with it. They will taste bet ter and be more digestible than if watered with tears.'

NO TIME TO PRAY FOR RAIN
Wise Old Negro Slave Knew 1t Would Not Come Till the Wind
 Shifted.

During slavery times my father owned a splendid negro man who, however, was rather liberal in his religious views, and was classed by his more emotional fellows as plumb infdel." There had been continued drought, and pious be- lievers, black and white, were to pray for rain. On Sunday morning my father found Henry srrrepti- tiously hoeing a bit of late corp of his cabin, instead of going to church.
 "I'm surprised, Henry,'' said my father. "Why are you not at the meeting to pray for rain with the others"
 Henry shifted from one foot tc the other and looked at his master quizzically.
 "Now, Marse George" he said, apologetically, "you know, an I know, 'tain't gwine to rain nohow till de win shifts" ."--ExcbangA

rather disappointed last night to learn
that there were no indoor baseball

1t was originally planned to play these

impossible. However, the two post

be played next week. The protested
games were the "Y'' VS.. the Presby-

SCIENCE School
wins LAST GAME

Wahpeton, N. D., Feb. 25.-To The
Forum: The State Science school
basketball team came out victorious
here Friday night in a fast but one
sided game played at the local armory
over the Park Region Lutheran
school, by a score of % to 10. Close
guarding coupled with active passing
and good team work at all stages was
the deciding factor in winning the
game.
The last half was the most spec
tacular as both sides got in some
good work and made many long bas-
kets. The visitors netted four fields
and two foul baskets, while the
Science boys secured thirteen fields
and three fouls during the last period.
The visitors were good in guarding
at times but had rather ragged team
work
