fear of rebuff. Before the last precinct
is counted he seems to know his sue
cess, for the senatorial candidate stiff
ems, dons his black clothes and fresh
fed stride for future use on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Babies and jackpots
have lost their alluring possibilities; no
longer does he tolerate familiarity; he
Is as patronizing as a rooster who
scratches worms for the hens and then
eats them before his invited guests ar

he should peer Through a microscope
to make sure he is there, but con6den-

ing a bill advocating the irrigation of
Eagebrush valley; also how he is work
ed to death by other senators asking
favors of him. As school for fiction

Mark Twain's last days. it will be re-

he had gone following the shock Of his
daughter Jeans death. The great

which began to recur with increasing
frequency. knew that. he was a dying
man. Yet his whimsical humor never
failed him. His biographer Albert

referred to the hypodermic injection.
which had become necessary to him, as
..hypnotic injunctions.'
AS long as | remember anything, "
writes Mr.. Paine in describing the trip
from Bermuda. Il shall remember the
forty-eight hours of that homeward
voyage. He was comfortable at first.
and then we ran into the humid, op-
pressive air of the gulf stream, and he
could not breathe 1t seemed to me
that the end might come at any mo-
ment. and this thought was In his own
mind. but he had no dread. and his
sense of humor did not fail. Once,
when the ship rolled and his hat fell
from the hook and made the circuit of
the cabin floor, he said. The ship is
passing the hat
Il had been instructed In the use Of
the hypodermic needle and from time
to time gave him the hypnotic injunc-
tion. as he called it. But it did not at
ford him entire relief. He could re-
main in any position but little while.
et he never complained and thought
NV of the trouble he might be max

grade guards was such as to make
the selections for these positions the
most difficult OF any of the positions
filled.
However, there is no question but
that Schlatter of DEBORAH. easily de-
serves one of the two leading posi-
tions. This lad, playing in his first
tournament exhibition, with a hard
luck team, and Loasting a scholastic
ranking of only sophomore, was
without question the class of the
running guards of the meet. In fact,
although less than II years of age,
this youngSter staged q running
guard game that was easily the
equal of that played by a majority
of the collegiate men of Iowa, and
to his individual efforts in breaking
up the team work of opposing fives
must be credited the lions share of
whatever honors the DEBORAH team
captured in weathering the first two
rounds, and gaining the right which
it waived, of competing for third
honors in the tournament.
In The Gazettes Adjournment
honor quintets, Harold Schlatter, of
DEBORAH, was given the honor of Sc
lection as guard on the first team.
The names of Earl Marsh, as forward
and Horace Weiser, as center, were
placed on the honor roll. This Is
certainly fine compliment for the
boys, and speak we'll for their ability.
