Of the mothers of the debaters. Even a
few OF the seniors. who generally hold
themselves aloof from freshmen meetings,
were in evidence. and also & part of the
faculty.

bate, and all Of the youthful debaters had

platform and debated, three were chosen to
form the freshmen debating squad The
successful speakers are as follows; Gilbert

THE ARTIST WON.
His Nerve and His Drawing Combined
Made tho Editor Meek.


The editor had given the artist an
order to Illustrate the story and had
drawn a rough diagram Of the kind Of
sketch he wanted. 1t must show q
deer vaultlng in high leap over
clump of bushes. The artist read the
manuscript. made the picture and sent
1t In. 1t was well done. The deer was
magnificent fellow, with pair Of
antlers that the most ambitious buck
might we'll be proud Of. The editor
took one look at the drawing and then
In disgust returned It to the artist,
with letter stating that the figure
must be redrawn because 1.-The story
plainly states that the buck was a
yearling, consequently he would have
had only spike horns and not the kind
Of antlers you have depicted"
The artist was not, however, dis
mayed. He stood pat for antlers. With
courage born Of immovable conviction
he returned the drawing unaltered to
the editor and wired him: Compost
ton demands antlers. Change manu-
script to three year-od buck"
The editor was struck so dumb by
this manifestation Of nerve that he
actually took time to study the draw
ing He let his Imagination picture
the spike buck Instead OF the majestic
antlered beauty and meekly decided
that the artist knew a thing or two.
