Thanks to the Circle
Mr.. President and Fellow Members:

Mr.. President and Fellow Members:
Inasmuch as was wholly unprepared
for the unmerited eulogy presented so un-
iquely by Mr.. Esprita; adopted and entered
on the minute books of our local Chautauqua
at the last meeting, Sunday, the 29th, instant,
permit me to express through the columns
of The MIRROR at this time, my most
sincere and heartfelt thanks for the kind ex-
pressions vouchsafed therein.
Personally consider it the greatest honor
(outside OF being a member of 'Our Chau-
tauqua') that one could have thrust upon
him "within the walls" and to be frank
| with you was somewhat frustrated. Yes
indeed!
But good can only come from good and
the Chautauqua movement is great thing
grand thing. 1t has become an institution
| and it is the consensus of opinion of those
who know that it is the greatest thing let
loose in the midst of men, these two gen.
erations past. Most of US are 33rd degree
Chautauquans and we have earnestly en-
deavored to grow with its growth.
Under your present efficient and e:udite
President, your business-like and systematic
Vice President, your amiable and accomodst-
ing Secretary and your caustic and college
bred Critic, not to mention your promising
quarette, great things are in store for you;
and it is, therefore, the wish of me who has
fortunately or unfortunately been with you
these last two pleasant years, that the Chau-
tauqua movement within the walls of this
concrete and steel university may live long
and prosper, and may it ever flourish like
| the proven bial bay tree.
Thanking you all personally for the many
little helps and suggestions received from
time to time and for the intrinsic worth of
your work, and moreover, the incalculable
good your versatile President Mr.. ]. S. has
disseminated, and for his untiring energy
and good cheer, permit me to subscribe my
self,
Most sincerely,

M. S. P. Finally Bat Out
Victory
Visitors Hit Hard Too. Ninth
Inning Rally Just Falls
Short

For the first time since Sept. %, victory
at last perched upon the banners of our To-
cal ball team when they ran up big score
and won last Saturdays contest with the
Cellar Colts. But whisper it softly the
score was ID to Is. The M. S. P's. made
a brave start and fell upon Mcclellan for
hits and runs in every inning but the last.
They garnered total of sixteen hits and
every member of the team secured at least
one. After having made fourteen scores,
the NJ. S. P's. came very near losing the
game in the ninth. After two visitors were
out in that inning, four consecutive hits
and a muffed fly gave them four runs, but
Underwood then strayed too far off second
and was thrown out.
The fielding of both teams was rugged
but the M. S. P's. piled up the most errors
including number of inexcusable muffs.
Lee pitched fair game and had the visit
ors IA to when he was taken out in the
last of the seventh in order to give a couple
of recruit pitchers a chance to show their
mettle. The shift was not success as the
Cellar Colts made seven runs and like
number of hits in the last three frames.
Hard hitting was the order of the day.
Wag and Lew led for the home team
with three hits each for the afternoon.
Brad, Bush and Sh'l'ds each made
two bingles. One of Brad's was home
run. Lew and Fan each made a
two-bagger. The Hoy family was we'll
represented in the melee. c. Hoy made
four bingles, three of which were two-bag-
gers. S. Hoy had three singles to his
credit. Arndt baggei triple and double.
Errors by the home team were responsible
for FIVE of the visitors runs.
Mcclellan, for the visitors, was bit wild
for he hit FIVE of our athletes during the
game. Four of the pastimers who were
thus busted off completed the circuit of
the bases. Fan was so successful that
he did the trick twice. Brad covered
| the initial sack for the home pastimers and
looked like thousand dollars playing the
bag in hustling style.
The day was almost perfect for baseball
fine warm autumn sun extinguished the
nip in the air and making it possible to
play nine full innings before darkness
set in.

The Blues"

What do you do when you're feeling blue,
Do you grumble around and growli
Or do you laugh and chaff at the dismal
view,
Or sit around with a scowl:
What do you do when you're feeling blue,
Does everyone see your grouch'
Do you sit and stare with miserable air,
And walk with miserable slouch?
Or do you wistle and sing, do any old
thing,
That will make you laugh and smile'
A joke or two, if made by you.
Is certainly worth your while.
And l think you will find you've lighter
mind,
For the joke, and the laugh, and the song.
It's good thing to try, just to laugh, not
to sigh,
And your "blues'' won't last you so long.

Waitin' For The Letter

Yes, know the stage is comm - it will
soon be passin' by,
For saw it on the mountain, leanin up
ag'in' the sky;
It's a-threadin' in the valley--it will pretty
soon be through
But the time'll seem forever till it strug-
giles into view;
For among the things upon it, am hopin
there may be
Quite an interestin' letter that my Johnny
wrote to me.
1t has been a work O. waitin' for half a
score o years,
An l often see the driver through win
dow-full O. tears;
Oh, l do not have to ask him, as he goes
upon his way
For he smiles at me so sadly, meanin' !,
Mother, not to-day"
But he'll al'ays find me waitin', as we
both of US agree,
Till he handles out the letter that my
Johnny wrote to me.
But month ago, he halted, sort O. shakin'
of his head,
An he whispered, Little mother, I'm
afraid the boy is dead.
There's lot of things III happen, just
within year or two,
An it's possible the young'un may be
waitin' now for you.''
But l says, 'You do not know him;
Johnny's full O. grit. is he!
You will never catch him dyin', till he
writes line to mel"
Johnny come to me one even an he
twined into my arm,
An he says, 81 amt adapted to a stony
mountain farm;
I'm weak an puny fellow, with surgin'
heart and brain;
There is honest Ways of workin' that the
muscle don't contain.
I'm a-goin' to find our fortune, on the land
or on the sea;
An the minute have got it, you will get
line from me-
An I've waited, an I've waited, full O.
hope an full O. love,
An l KEEP steady strivin' with the powers
that are above;
If the blessed sunbeams cheered us, KEEP
pleadin' all the day,
Father, when the boy is happy, do not
let let him 60 astray?"
If the storm was on the mountain, would
pray, 80 let him be
Safe as ever in his cradle, on the land or
on the seal"
There's the stage at last! the driver hasn't
anything to say,
An he doesn't smile or gestur' but he
stares the other way!
There's man looks like the preacher, an
fear there's somethin' wrong
o my God! what is the the tidin's you hev
come to bring alongi
Tell it quick I'm goin' to stan it-hand
the trouble, full an free!
Oh. - it's Johnny - Johnny - Johnny
brought my letter clear to me!

The Wind and the Leaves

"Come, little leaves said the wind one
day,
"Come DER the meadows with me and
play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold,
For summer has gone, and the days grow
cold"
Soou as the leaves heard the wind's loud
call,
Down they came t1uttering. one and all;
Over the brown fields they danced and
flew,
Singing the soft little songs they knew.
"Cricket, goodbye, we've been friends so
long,
Pretty brook, sing US your farewell song;
Say you are sorry to see US go,
Oh! you will miss US right well, we know.
"Dear little lambs, in your heecy fold,
Mother will keep you from harm and cold;
Fondly we've watched you in vale and
glade
Say, will you dream of our loving shade?''
Dancing and whrling the little leaves went.
Winter had called them and they were
content.
Soon fast asleep in their earthly beds,
The snow laid a soft mantle over their
heads s-Cnidnetifed.

An Unknown Foe

The awful fight is going on,
A day-long dream of He'll
Where deadly bullets whisper fate,
And The air is a reek of she'll
A squad of foreign soldiers came
To little garden space
And found therein a youthful lad
Flat-fallen on his face
His bandcleer was cartridge-crammed
His bulgy pockets too
The creviced wall his rifle held
Where he had thrust il through
One broken arm was bandage- gripped
That had not made him quail
But glory spot above his brow
Proclaimed it's fatal tale.
The wall before was scared with shot
Around this little spot,
But with smile the hero lay,
All mortal things forgot.
Others had fed that shrapnel dread
That seemed the earth to rend,
But in himself host, his post
He'd held until the end.
A silent reverence lit the eyes
Of those who looked on him,
And all of them were fearless men,
Unfinching, stern and grim.
A grave they made beneath the shade
Of two young linden boughs
And there they lay him comrade-like
Within his narrow house.
They placed cross above his head,
Nor did their service cease
Till one had writ: "Here buried lies
Some Mothers son in peace.
Why did they show this kindness
Above foeman's grave?
1t was the tribute paid by men
Of bravery, to the brave.

Financial Preparedness
First you save a nickle.
Then you save dime;
When YOU get the habit
Most sincerely,
w. E. L.


When you get the habit
You'll have dollar all the time
1t has been said that the habit of saving
inspires to better things. promotes self-re-
lance and self-respect. 1t teaches the econ
omy of one s powers, inviting a wholesome
confidence in our better selves, and enabling
US to live in greater tomorrow. 1t is the
nest egg of character.
The amount one is privileged to save is
not the all important principle. The culti-
vation of the habit of saving however, is
more essential to ones welfare, and once
acquired financial success is assured.
Thrift or Financial Preparedness is
to-day the important PLANK in the platform
of our commercial. professional, educational
and religious life. Opportunities and even
inducements are offered by all reputable
banks to encourage thrift and stimulate the
habit of saving.
Savings banks are now in operation in the
public schools of all our leading cities. the
direct result of the campaign of education
in saving and thrift inaugurated by the
Savings Bank Section of the American
Bankers Association, by authority of the
board of education and under the supervi-
sion of the principal of the school, and the
cooperation of some local bank.
The remarkable success of this movement
in the city of Chicago. whereby total de-
posits of approximately forty thousand dol
ars were received from some eighteen thou
and pupils in sixty-four of the schools of
the city since its Inauguration, practically
assures the permanent adoption as one of
the important departments of our public
school system.
What the rifle and the axe were to the
American pioneer, the savings account is to
the wage Garner of to-day.-Ea.

When you find that the truth is in your
way, you may be sure that you are on the
wrong road.
Many girl has found herself in the
spinster class because she was too clever at
the wrong time.
1t is sometimes better policy to remind
a man of something he already knows than
to tell him something he doesn't know.
When a mans down he thinks it is all
up with him.
