In 1907 foot ball was established on a
firm basis, which 1t has maintained ever
since, the team winning five out Of six
games on hard schedule. The eleven Of
1908 was perhaps the most prominent in
the schools annals, as It won eight out
OF hine games and piled up the over
whelming score OF 2S7 points. against IS
made by opponents during the year This
was the team which won the interschol-
astc championship of Nebraska and
Iowa that year. Ben Cherrington coached
the squad and Harold Mckinney, right
half, was captain.
The elevens OF 1909 and 1910 also made
brilliant records, losing only three games
in the two years.

''lIa ha! When you crib melons, you

Craig' was the response.
lie undertook to parry this hint and put US
of the scent, by declaring that he was going
to forage through the country for supplies, TO
make up for Hosmer's Losses.
Gut we went and started across a corner OF
the campus toward his room in the other
wing OF the building, when he halted us in
the moonlight and bade us wait. while he
stepped to Rev. Clarks premises. as he said,
'to reconnoitre."
While he was gone, the rest of us cphered
ou' his trick by. recalling his late arrival at
the meeting and putting it with Charey's
statement, that he thought somebody was

gested some one.

tents OF that basket groaned Gil. :,
But Tor you, prime conspirator, we should

another, in mock cloquence, and pointing u
long forehnger IN Giis face.
BY this time, Craig returned empty
handed, reporting that the woodhouse door
was shut and locked, and was saluted with
jibes and laughter.
"'Alas alas! our poor deprived palates~

The next day brought TO each Of us an in
!tation from Mrs. Clark to call at her home
from eight to nine that evening.
From Craig we learned that when some
cne OF the family came to lock up the house
the melons were discovered, and supposed to
be present from some country parishioner.
But, early in the morning, Craig called on
Mrs. Clark and explained.
That evening at the minister's our party
reinforced by several charming friends, over
took the fugitive melons, and with gusto put
an end to their wandering habit
But, notwithstanding the common impress
sion that such young fellows are chiefly crca-
lures of appetite, the fact remains that we
enjoyed the pleasure of pursuit more than
that of eating the melons.

Digging Up a Buried World

There is nothing in the fairy stories more
astonishing that what Schliemaan found at
Mycenac when he undertook to dig up Aga
memncn; and, even if it was not .Agamem
non he did dig up, the learned scoffers were
too much dumfounded at his success TO wish
to argue the case against him.
In these two or three tombs the gold found
had an intrinsic value of over twenty thou
sand dollars its value to art being simply in
estimable. But even greater discoveries were
made in the excavations at Olympia, Dodona,
Delos, Tanagra, Epidaurus, Eleusis and other
Greel, cities.
At Olympia, for instance, was found the
statre of Mercury described by Pausanias as
one of the treasures of the pie. 1t is GER
tainlNN the work of Praxitecs, and though
the right arm is broken above the elbow and
both legs are gone below the knees, it is in
valuable as an illustration OF Greek art.
1t is impossible to guess what may be
found at 1aurium, but it has been demon
strated that by diligent use of the spade we
are likely to learn more of the dead and
buried world than we have ever believed pos
sible.

Among other interests demanding attention
were certain affairs of our societ" and about
q dozen of US were gathered one evening in
Dan Hosmer's room for that purpose.

During the afternoon he had bought half
dozen mHk-me!ons, with which to surprise
the rest Of US that evening; and. when the
market man delivered them, they were placed
in a basket under>a lounge near the door, In

and there deposited the treasure. Then he
came to our meeting, made excuse for being
late, and awaited developments.
When the business was transacted. and we
were about scattering to our rooms, Dan de-
tanned us, saying:

After some good.natured chatting over the
matter, there being no help for it. we were
again about separating, when Gil spoke up:
Its too bad, fellows; but, If you'll step
into my room, I've something to show you,

"Twentyfour eyes equal twelve palates,"
muttered Charley Gates, his face glowing
roguishly. 1T is to be hoped nothing will
happen to eliminate the eyes from that equa-
Ton; We couldn't stand it."
when we reached Gil's room, and he had
struck a light, he went to the window, leaned
out, and seemed grasping for something, but
secured nothing more substantial than air.
Satisfying himself that he had been foiled
at his game, he drew back, greeted with the
"set up. your. show. Gil; the audience is
becoming impatient"
"Well, gentlemen, I'm more sold than

to keep them cool, placed them out on the

laughter.

Every boy, too, was fully convinced of the
fact that we were in pursuit of a basket OF
melons, under difficulties. Whether we should
ever catch it or not was the puzzle; but Craig
Hammond, of course, thought he was the only
fellow who saw the end from the beginning.
Like Gil, Charley undertook to procure his
bone and crust" through the window, and,
like Gil, failed, feeling wildly into the out.
side darkness.
When he turned and faced us, the laugh
ter that filed that room was uncomfortable.
Some of us sank to the foor-it would seem
almost in convulsions.
Witty remarks seemed dry and out Of
place, as we realized the merits Of our case,
in pursuit of melons, which lodged us as If
alive. At length Craig Hammond thought
his turn had come.
Now, fellows, we can't close up the fun
without something substantial We've fed
on air too long!"
A roar Of laughter answered him. for every
one of us knew well enough that another
chapter OF melons was coming.

discoveries made by explorers at

almost sound like fairy tale, and
yet they ought not to be dscredited too
readily.
LAurum is hill range which forms the
southeast portion OF Attica, in Greece, and
there is no doubt that the region is rich in
art treasures.
The entire learned world scoffed when
Schiemann calmly announced that he pro-
posed to dig up the bones of Agamemnon
and Clytemnestra at Mycenae, the wide

But the learned world held its breath in en-.
