SOUTHERN TRIP FOR
GRIDIRON MEN OF o. a. c.
Occidental College, California. Sends
Wire Challenging to Game This
EDII


Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
wallis, Ore.-A wire from President
John Willis Baer of Occidental Col
lege asks for a game on their home
field in San Jose with the Beaver
boys. On receiving the telegraphic
challenge this morning, Coach S. NJ.
Dolan of the agricultural college
team stated that at would be ac-
cepted and that, though a southern
trip had not been scheduled for this
winter, the eleven would without
doubt make the run down coast. The
matter will be submitted to the fac
ulty council for approval at its next
meeting, and as similar trips to Los
Angeles have met with favor IN the
quarter in previous years, no doubt Is
entertained of the ratification of the
coach's decision in the matter.
Although there are other teams
that the o. A. C. boys would like tc
schedule for games en- route, it IS no
probable that they will do so, since i
| Is a long, hard run at the shortest
and they could not spare time from
their school work for the necessar!

games. The coach, the captain an,
all of the old members of the team
who are back again this year are en-
thusiastic over the prospect of tn
California trip and are spreading tn
glad tidings among the husky appli
cants for places left vacant by the sc
niors of last year.

bines with them enough knowledge of
the world to convince the half formed,
half trained youthful mind that the
mentor has the best interests of the
lad in mind, that he has been through
it all himself and knows full well the
joys and disappointments, the fears
and hopes of early days.
And it is the habitually stern, opti-

he knows nothing of the fascinating
temptations of boyhood. The spirit
of compromise is allowed to perish by
such parent; the spirit Of rebellion
grows in the sons heart; a spirit nour-

JIMMY VALENTINES FATHER, WHO BROKE
THE sCHoOLBOY'S HEART.
1t is human TO have human emotions.
1t is human to have inhuman ideas
concerning some Of our fellow men at
various times: but. after all, why not
adopt the optimistic philosophy Of jim
my Valentine himself? For was it
not he who at the time Frisco Eddie"
bungled the ''inside job" of safe
lOoting expedition in Omaha sought to
soothe the latter's feelings by saying
sympathetically
"Nobody is a failure until he admits
it himself. You will never admit
you're a failure, Eddie, so cheer up.
You, therefore, can never be one."
Consequently Jimmy Valentine must
be given chance. His doctrine is the
doctrine of hope. Give him chance
to apply it to himself and await un-
! condemningly and dispassionately the
result.
If he succeeds in making a man Of
himself, man such as his Creator in
tended him to be, who Is there to say
that his past has anything in it to
concern critical world? Or who is
there to deny to Jimmy Valentine his
birthright if he should miraculously
redeem it?

CHAPTER VI.

THE weeks dragged slowly on
for Jimmy Valentine after the
momentous day when Rose
Lane and Lieutenant Governor
Fay visited the prison-weeks OF Won
der, weeks Of hope. weeks Of despair.
He concluded that the girl had for
gotten him; that her interest In him
had been but the evanescent manifes-
tation Of a fieeting impulse. Probably
Izzy" Snedden was right sitter all
Icy, doing bit Of four FOR bur-
gary, seemed to know great deal
about women, and he had assured
Valentine that "a girl don't know
what it means to keep her word. not
that she don't mean to. but she JUST
materially talks so much that she
can't remember half what she says.
The lieutenant governor. too. had
apparently forgotten about the ex-
istence of No. 1899, and Valentine be-
gan deeply to wish that his hopes had
never been aroused. Far better never
to have risen to the heights OF ex-
pectancy ut all than on attaining them
to be thus rudely cast from them.
But Valentine had not realized now

on death near the county line road
bridge and the fact that the lad we
are considering could swim very we'll
made no difference to the father as
well as to the mother. The son must
keep away from the water. That was
final.
The further fact that this boy as
pired to be a mining engineer made
no difference to this father or to this
mother. 1t had already been decided
for him that he must study for the
ministry.
Three years passed. The lad was in
college. The study Of theology did
not suit his temperament or his de-
sires He wanted, above all things,
to go out into the world of action, to
battle with the might Of the strong
tangible odds; out in the open air un
der the open heavens, down in the
bowels of the earth or wherever there
were mines to be dug and equipped
and operated. He wanted to study
the problems that faced the men who
decoyed the glistening ores from Sc
cretive Mother Earth, and he thrilled
with the idea that he could succeed
In this profession.
He sat in his room in the college
dormitory one sunny spring morning
and wrote his father that he could
not continue his study for the minis
try; that he wanted above all other
things in life to enter the school of
mines at the university.
He waited five days. The answer
came The same night there We're a
vacant room and a vacant bed In the
| dormitOry. Next morning came
search. Under table was found a
crumpled note that the tears OF the
lad had blurred as he read. The letter
was taken to the president of the col
lege. When this gray haired gentle
man adjusted his spectacles he pressed
the paper fat on his desk and read:
IF you do not continue your course
in theology l will cease to pay your
bills at college. Should YOU discnp-
tinue them you must return home.
where l will secure you position as
bookkeeper at your uncle's store"
Signed to this eloquent, brief epistle
was the name of the young mans ia.
Their.
Several years have passed since that
crumpled letter was picked up from
the floor of the college students room.
Several years have passed since an
aged couple, soon to exc out their
need of existence in small country
town, have heard news from the son
who would not become a minister.
Several years have passed since a
young college student appeared penni-
less and discouraged in middle west
ern city and vainly walked the streets
for days, subsisting as best he might,
in search of any kind Of work that
strong hands and arms could perform.
So there should be tempered judg-
ment shown, say l, in dwelling on
the present fate Of Jimmy Valentine
when it is considered that he was the
ambitious lad who left the crumpled
note lying on the floor in his bedroom
and set out to fight the world single
handed.
That Jimmy should have lost in his
first grapple with life should afford
no reasonable person ground for re-
proach. Those of US who have not
lost as yet quite humanity perhaps in
cline toward comparisons which favor
our own acknowledged virtues, but

their lives should always be remem.
