An interesting story of how a Maine
young woman secured position as
teacher in Massachusetts is as follows:
She had been teaching in Maine and
was anxious to go to Massa chusetts.
She made application for a position
and one day received notice that the
superintendent would be in Boston on a
certain day to receive applicants. The
Maine girl took the first train for Bos-
ton on receiving the notice and report
ed at the office about fifteen minutes
ahead of the scheduled hour. The SUI
perintendent arrived a few minutes
later. At the hour given in the notice,
the Maine girl was on the spot, and
none Of the other applicants had ar
rived. When the superintendent
learned that she had made the long
trip from Maine to secure the appoint
ment, there was no delay in making the
contract. The promptness of the Maine
girl was one of the features which led
to her success in securing the position.

July on the Mountains.

There is sultry gloom on the mountain

And sultry glow beneath,
Oh. for breeze from the western sea,
Soft and reviving, sweet and free,
Over the shadowless hill and lea,
Over the barren heath.
There are clouds and darkness around
Gods ways
And the noon Of life grows hot;
And though His faithfulness standeth
As the mighty mountains. shroud is

Yelling, but changing it not
Send sweet breeze from thy sea. o

Though it lift not the veil from the cloudy

Let the brow grow cool and the footstep
AS it comes with holy and soothing
might,

The schedule is so arranged that each
quintet plays around its respective loop

ALL WRESTLERS ON
GERMAN TUG TEAM
Pete Loeb Digs Up Six wrestlers
Who Are Also Strong Men for
Tug-of-War at Auditorium.
ANCHOR MAN Is A MOUNTAIN

There is a dark-horse team entered In
the big international tug-of-war which
will be staged at the Auditorium this
week, starting Monday night.
The dark-horse lads are on the German
team and the other pullers are in for the
surprise of their lives when they tackle
the chaps from the Rhine.
When Pete Loeb was elected to be cap
tain of the team representing Germany
he decided Germany should be repre-
sented by a swell team. Nobody can
beat the Germans" quoth Pete, and
away he went to scout up strong men.
He got 'em.
OF the six big, husky Germans on the
team every last one OF them is a wrestler.
Those on the team are Charley Peters,
Paul Romanoff. Klul1lux whitehouse,
Bill Finland. Alfred Allcox and Matt

SHEYLTN'S RECORD
is MOST GLORIOUS
He Was One of the Four Great Yale
Athletes Who Have Died Dur
ing Last Decade.
LEAVES HOST TO MOURN HIM

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The passing Of
Thomas Lee Shevlin adds another name
to the list of famous Yale foot ball line
men who have died In recent years when
apparently on the threshold OF a business
career as promising and brilliant as their
gridiron record just few years back
Four great Yale scrimmagers who won
their ''Y' In play since 1900 have died
within the last decade is f. Gordon
Brown. Stillman. James j. Hogan and
Shevlin, all leaving foot ball records
that few gridiron stars since the begin
ming of intercollegiate play have equaled
and none can surpass.
This quartet OF giant linemen played
game after game without injury during
the entire four years OF their undergrad
uate lives making the mythical Al-Amer-
lean eleven with an ease and regularity
which left no doubt as to their foot ball
ability. Brown and Hogan were selected
for four consecutive seasons at guard
or tackle, while shevlin made an end
position three out of his four college
years and stillman two seasons at tackle
A glance at the caliber OF players wearing
uniforms in those years and the type OF
game played will add impressiveness to
these feats.
strong Opponents.
In the case OF Shevin II is only neces-
sary to mention that his running mate
was the famous Rafferty, and that when
Yale lined up against Princeton these blue
jerseyed ends were opposed by the ia
nous Tiger pair. Davis and Henry, while
Bowditch was holding down a wing tip
position for Harvard about the same time
Play In those days was faster and harder
than now and to see Shevlin sweeping
down the field at close to ten-second
gait with his 200 pounds OF bone and
muscle poised for flying tackle was
enough to worry the brsvest back who
ever assayed to catch a punt and avoid
the charging end.
As captain of the Yale team OF 1905
Shevlin left a record that few gridiron
leaders can equal His team played eleven
games, scoring 227 points to its opponents
four. The list included Wesleyan, SYRIA
cuse, Springfield. Holy Cross. Penn
state, West Point, Columbia. Brown,
Princeton and Harvard. The Tiger team
was the only one to score on Yale that
season. the final result being Yale, Is;
Princeton. 4; while a week later Harvard
was defeated. TO o. Shevlin's record as
an emergency coach at Yale IN 1910 and
1915 IL too well known 20 need repetition.
