If You Have Done Your Best.

If you have done your level best
Your need not fear to look behind !;
At night, in peace, you'll sink to rest,
Untroubled then will be your mind.
It will not matter then to you
Whether you've lost your fight or won,
II looking back you do not view
A lot of things you might have done.
Ii you have done your level best
Your yesterdays will all be sweet,
Your thoughts will never be distressed,
You will not whimper at defeat
There is no shame in failure. when
You've noblv fought and nobly tried,
Your yesterdays are splendid then
You need not view them leaden eyed.
If you can lool, back when you've trod
And see no reason for regret,
Then forward you may bravely plod;
Your past is not a present debt.
You need not fear your yesterdays
Nor any future time of test,
The world must speak of you with praise
Ii you have done your level best.

Beef and Drawn of Spokane No
Match for Speed and Pluck of
Pullman High Boys

The team of football husl les rep
resenting the big Lewis and CLARK
nigh school of Spokane came down
last Saturday to indulge IN "prac
tice' game with the Pu.inlan high
school team They went home sad
der and wiser young men. with their
hopes OF the state championships
punctured. 1t was a case Of beef
and over-confidence VS.. speed and
determination and the beef lost.
The Spokane team, the heaviest
turned out by the Lewis and Clark
school for several years, came on the
field expecting to have a walkover.
They thought it was matter of
we came, we saw, we conquered .
and many of the spectators seemed
to be of the same opinion when they
noticed how small the Pullman boys
looked when they lined up against
their bulky antagonists But the
visitors overlooked the speed and ag-
gressiveness which had been drilled
into the Pullman players for two
years by Coach Cave and still further
developed by Coach Hinderman.
Spokane won the toss and elected
to receive the kickoff. They made
yardage several times by line
plunges and end runs, but the Pull
man defense stiffened with each
play. and soon the ball went over.
Pullman fumbled on the first pass
and Spokane recovered the hall. but
almost Immediately one of the backs
dropped it and Butler, Pullman's
speedy little end. scooped ii up and
ran 80 yards for touchdown, from
which Henry kicked goal. The game
had been in progress less than five
minutes and the spectators went
wild.
Encouraged by this good start. the
Pullman boys settled down like vet
Grams and never allowed the visitors
to get within striking distance of the
goal. Spokane was clearly Outplayed
during the rest of the game, both in
offense and defense Their superior
weight availed nothing and time

count of the recent trip of the Jolly
Entertainers, which refers to their
visit at Pullman as follows:
In this territory we had date
for two nights at Moscow, Idaho, but
here the probate officer and prose
cutting attorney had evidently come
in contact with some old fossil, who
wanted to become conspicuous as be-
ing interested in the welfare of
children, so they interpreted the
child labor law so closely that they
would not allow us to perform in the
theater or even play OF the street,
thus making themselves obnoxious in
the eyes of the people. OF course
this left us on expense with two open
dates so we made a wildcat" jump

the opera house being destroyed by

changed for the trustees of the

our rebuff at Moscow turned out to
