JUNIOR CLASS MEETS TO
LAY PLANS FOR 1915
TRIP TO SAN FRANCISCO
Lieut.. Brown and Sergt. Kenny
Address Class, Giving Useful
Information About Trip.

A meeting of the Junior Class was
held Sunday after dinner and some
very interesting proceedings took
place. The majority Of the Juniors
were surprised by the presence OF
Sergeant Kenny and Lieutenant Levi
G. Brown. The meeting was called
to order by the president Of the class,
V. Smitham, and the purpose was ex-
planned. The subject up for discus
sion was the trip to the Worlds Fair
in San Francisco in 1915. r. II. Allen
has been gathering information re-
garding the actual expenses, the trans
portation, the quartering Of the corps,
and the mess. He gave the Juniors
the information which he had gath
cred by means of correspondence with
the War Department and the railroad
officials. Lieutenant Brown then dis
cussed the matter and explained very
clearly all the benefits which would
be derived from the trip, and also
the benefits derived by having the
cadets going as a corps and not as
individuals. Lieutenant Brown high.
ly recommended the trip, and especial
ly that the students go as body.
Every statement made by him was
backed by conclusive proofs. He also
stated what would be required of the
students along the military lines and
the restrictions which would be placed
upon them. The items, he assured
the class, would be very reasonable
Permits to wear citizens clothes will
stand very favorable show for ap
prevail Sergeant Kenny, who knows
San Francisco very well, also dis
cussed the subject and gave the class
some hints which they should not
dare to overlook. He Is well acquaint'
ed with San Francisco and its ways
and announced his willingness to give
any information possible. All talks
were very interesting and all the de
tails were well brought forth. The
class was very enthusiastic over the
trip, which makes the prospects very
promising. Every cadet will find him
self able to go as the expenses will
be very low If the cadets go as q
body. Lieutenant Brown suggested
that the students would find ii a mere
trifle to finance their accounts by pay
ing for the trip on the installment
plan-save five dollars every month
Several questions were then asked
| and discussed.
No other business being before the
class, it then adjourned.-The Bat
| talon.

CHRISTMAS TURKEY
WILL BE A RABBIT

Pendleton, Ore, Dec. 23.-Many
poor families of Oregon and other
parts of the Northwest will feast on
rabbit done in various styles on
Christmas day, because they feel the
pressure of the high cost of living
and cannot afford turkey and Christ
mas presents for the youngsters, too
The best feature of it is that the rab.
bits will be furnished free by farmers
who are waging war against the little
animals which have destroyed SC
much fall sown wheat. The farmers
are trying to clear the wheat fields
of the pests and have killed thou
sands of rabbits as a result. These
have been sent to large cities for dis
tribution among the poor,

SONG THAT AROUSED
THE IRE OF WILSON

Damn, Damn, Damn the lnsurrectos.
In that land of dopy dreams, happy,
peaceful Philippines.
Where the boloman is hiking night
and day,
Where Tagalos steal and lie, where
Americanos die,
There you hear the soldiers sing
this evening lay:
CHORUS:
Damn, damn, damn the insurrectos,
cross-eyed kakiack ladrones,
Underneath the starry flag, civilize
'em with a Krag,
And return us to our own beloved
home.
There's land of dopy dreams, far
from Filipino themes,
Where the bolomen are busy night
and day;
Where they WELD the gladstone AK,
taking huge and CORY hacks.
At shining pate or locks of hoary
hair.
CHORUS:
Damn, damn, damn the insurrectos,
cross-eye kakiack ladrones,
Underneath the starry flag civilize
'em with Krag,
Ere they return us to our own beloved
homes.
Old time customs there are few, all
the members hack and hew
At the standpat bunch in manner
far from nice.
They believe in making Hay, Warren
for it day by day,
When the pie is cut each wants the
biggest slice.
I've a large and growing bunch that
this insurrecto bunch
Would have been the chaps to cor
the fleece of gold
Poor old Jason in his hunt would have
pulled a better stunt,
Had he the crowd that left us in
the cold.

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
THE LAND OF LONG AGO.

vt was raining hard. The front yard
was flooded with water and the big
country house dark, for 1t was in
vacation time, and Prue was spend
ing the week with her aunt on a farm.
No one seemed to enjoy the weather
except the ducks. But then Prue was
not a duck. She was a little girl, born
in town and apt to be dissatisfied with
everything she saw.
OF course the weather did not suit
her, SO she wandered about the rooms
and at last got to the garret. Here the
low beams were hung with old-fash-
ioned dresses, furniture 100 years old
was piled up in a corner, while boxes
and trunks stood about in disorder
And all were covered with dust and
cobwebs. most of them broken and
half open.
Prue spied an old chest and raised
the lid. Within was lot of silken
gowns that once belonged to her
great-grandmother, ribbons. fans, and
laces of a century before. So Prue
dressed herself up and laughed as she
paced before a huge mirror that stood
in a dark corner. Above the glass was
a stuffed owl with half his feathers
gone. - b.
Il wish l could go back to my great
grandmother's days" sighed Prue.
Nothing is as nice now as II used 10
be- We don't have pretty things and
fun like they did then" And she sank
iE disgust into a big armchair, with one
leg broken. that stood near the chest.
1t was soft and comfortable. Outside
the rain pattered on the shingles. and
she could hear the jingle Of dishes and
smell the warm odor of supper from the
kitchen.
so you wish you could live in the
fays of our great grandmother
squeaked the owl. fiuttering down from
above the mirror and lighting on the
arm of Prue's chair. Somehow she was
not a bit surprised.
Lets go down and see the folks"
continued the owl, walking awkwaroly
down the steps. Prue followed. But II
looked very strange in the big sitting
room. Instead OF the glow of the stove
there was an open fire, but the place
seemed very cold. There was no gas.
but many candles spluttered about on
tables in the room. Still II appeared to
be dark and full Of shadows. No tele-
phone was on the wall.
The owl fiuttered UP the chilly hall.
dimly lignted by candles, and into bed
room. There stood a wooden tub In
which to battle. No sign of the dainty
porcelain tub with hot and cold water,
TO which Prue was accustomed. And the
room was hardly warmed at all by the
wood fire.
MS pretty cold bathing in these
rooms" chirped the owl: but you
must remember they had no bathrooms
then
Outside Prue could hear the rumble OF
wheels on the gravel road. In mo-
ment a coach and four stood at the |
door.

1t is ten to one that the very last
thing with which anyone. would asso-
ciste Miss Williams, when she is sing
ing one of her song hits is housekecp-
ing or domestic science. And Yet. at
her New York home in Central Park
West, Miss Williams is absorbingly as
we'll as actively interested in solving
the problem of domestic science with
special regard to the elimination of the
servant and the practical methods of
making home place Of enjoyment to
the housekecper of moderate means in
stead of a scene of domestic slavery.
And ii is very seldom. while on tour,
that Miss Williams lives at a hotel.
Instead she engages a furnished house
