~ LILY Clarkson was spending the E<A autumn months with an uncle
 F. living in Colorado. This uncle's 0& name was John Clarkson, he being Billy's fathers brother. Uncle John, having no son of his own, had invited Billy to come and stay as long as his own parents could spare him. And they had spared him during the summer vacation, and had promised that he might continue his visit till the holidays, after which they thought he must come back to them.
 Billy had entered the little village school, on the side of rugged noun tain, and was enjoying the experience very much, and learning quite as rapidly as he would have learned In his own finely-equipped and carefully graded school in the city. Also, he made many firm friends among the boys who lived on the mountainside, both in the village and In the country

TIT WAS a bright autumn morning
 and a woodpecker, feeling need of
 exercise, decided to fly to scenes u new. He went a very long way; then he came to a farm house that he decided to rest Now, the wood becker did not know that the thing upon which he stopped to rest was the roof of house. Houses were mysterious things to him, and meant only inanimate things like rocks, stumps and caves. Well, he stopped for bit on this roof and while sitting there saw worm crawling up q narrow stone thing which stood up right on the roof. It was a stone kchimney, but Mir. Woodpecker did hot know a chimney from barn 1Aor.
 Never being too full of food to let

swept the convention hall. Standards
were wrenched from their supports,
and delegates, yelling and cheering
for Chairman Straus, paraded the
aisles, turning the convention into a
bedlam.
Chairman Straus at first shook his
head depreciating1y at the growing
ovation. He turned to friends and re-
marked: "This must not be; cannot
accept"
Chairman Hotchkiss left his seat
among the delegates and rushed to the
platform. Placing his hands on Mr.
lStraus's shoulders he said:
You must accept. you must accept;
Mll,the delegates are for you.
Scores Of delegates pressed toward
1.-THE platform to urge Mr.. Straus to
make the decision. Then Mr.. Hotch-
Kiss burst from the group that sur
grounded Mr.. Straus and held up before
lot yellow paper on which was written
"'He accepts"
Quickly the word was passed back
Through the hall and another demon
stration followed.
Chairman Hitchcock was allowed to
Iact as chairman in place of Mr.. Stratus.
The nomination Of Mr.. Hotchkiss for
governor was withdrawn by John A.
EKingsbury and the name of Mr.. Prem
Sdergrast by Timothy Woodruff. Then
came flood of speeches seconding the
nomination Of the former minister to
Turkey.
When the convention had recovered
and Mr.. Straus had been chosen unani-
mously he was called on for a speech
in which he formally accepted the
nomination.

ter.

Venice, where they will be the guests
of the Venice of Commerce. Saturday,
September 14th, the closing day of
the encampment will be Long Beach
Day and special arrangements are be-
ing made in that city for the enter
tainment of the veterans.
Besides the officially designated
days of entertainment the veterans
from the states sending delegations
will be the guests while here Of the
various eastern state societies which

A hard fight is anticipated in the
G. A. R. convention between the sup
porters of Judge Alfred B. Beers Of
Bridgeport, Conn, and Daniel E. Sic
kles of New York City, the two fore
most candidates for commander-in-
chief. Judge Beers is coming to the
convention with the unanimous sup
port of his department, while General
Sickles, while popular, has not secur-
ed endorsement of his department, but
will nevertheless, put up hard fight
for election. General Sickles Is the
last of the Union Brigade commanders,
but for the past few years has been in
very poor health. The condition of
his health will be the chief impedi-
ment to his election as commander-in-
chief"

there are three prominent candidates
for national honors, Mrs. Geraldine E.

of Veterans, whose officers succeed to
the presidency by rotation Miss
Nina A. Littleford Of Cambridge,
Mass, national senior vice president
Daughters of Veterans, is slated to
succeed Miss Philippine NJ. Schoeman
as national president.
Owing to the advanced age of ma

QUAKER PROSPECTS
CONSIDERED GOOD
Football Team Expected to
Win Secondary College
State Championship.

Earlham College will begin it's foot
ball schedule with the strongest team
that has represented it since the Qua
kers won the championship of the In
diana secondary college in 1908.
Prospects for a strong team are ex-
ceedingly flattering. All the old var
sity men, excepting four will report
for practice on September 20, when
Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite will put
this years squad through the. prelimi-
nary PAGES. Practice will open one
week before the resumption of col
lege session on September 81.
The old varsity men who will enter
college this fall are Ralph Guyer, cap
tain and fullback; Ben Brownell, right
half back; NJ. Bogue, left half; P. Wick
cry, quarter; A. Lancaster, left end;
L. Jones, center; F. Murray, right
guard, and C. Stanley, right tackle.
o. Highlands, last years captain,
has played four years but will return
to college and will assist in coaching.
c. Reagan, last years quarter, who
was graduated in June, will be back
as governor of Bundy hall, and will
also assist in coaching. H. Furnas,
right end, and P. Kelsey, left tackle,
two graduates are the other men who
will be lost to the team.
New Material.
Coach Thistlethwaite has a long list
Of men who will enter Earlham from
prep schools and with records as foot
fall players. The squad will be one of
the largest and best at Earlham in a
decade.
The schedule this season is one Of
the hardest the Quakers have sched-
uled in recent years. Manager Reed
has arranged eight games, four of
which will be played on Reid field.
Last year Earlham- won all but one
game on her schedule.
Indiana university will be tackled
by the Quakers this season for the first
time in many years.
Hard Schedule.
Rose Poly and Depauw will furnish
the leading attractions here. Both
these institutions will be represented
by strong teams and the two games
will probably decide the secondhand
championship of the state, as the three
teams have games with all the other
secondary colleges as we'll as with
Purdue and Indiana.
Earlham has never won a game from
DePauw on Reid Field during the last
twelve years and, although she has
been able to down the Methodists sew
eral times at Greencastle, DePauw
proves to be deciding stumbling
block when the game is played at
Richmond.
The schedule is as follows:
Oct 5.-Franklin at Richmond
Oct 12-Cincinnati at Cincinnati.
Oct 19-Rose Poly at Richmond.
Oct. 26.-Butler at Indianapolis.
Nov. 2-Indiana at Bloomington.
Nov. 9-Wabash at Charlottesville.
Nov. 16-Antioch at Richmond.
Nov. 23-Depauw at Richmond.

that the Harvest, which belonged to
the Jews, should be confined to them.
What was done for the Gentiles was
the seed-sowing, as represented in the

In the Harvest OF the Gospel Age the
reaping is to be done amongst those
who have received the seed-sowing
This is an intimation to US that the
