Popular %Sprinetime Pastime for Boys
to Be Taken on by University
Of California.
"Fen dubs. there: :"

"Fen dubs, there;"
"Knuckle down, now Prexyl"
"Say, Prof, how many taws will
you swap for my moss agateT
These are the sporting terms in the
vernacular which O o may be heard
on the campus of the University of
California, according to the San Fran
cisco Bulletin. The spectacle of a
group Of bearded dignified educators
squatting down on their "hunkers,"
while one of their number commands
their attention by the exhibition of his
skill, may be n common one.
The new course in applied science
to be included in the curriculum en-
braces the ancient problem of the ir-
resistible force and the immovable
body. 1t has to do with the tendency
of one spherical object to impart mo-
ton by coming in violent contact with
another spherical object previously in
a state of inertia, when the first OBJ
ject is given a certain velocity and mo-
mentum.
This is done by an intricate method
of expulsion, in which the sphere,
placed in juxtaposition Of the first and
second joint Of the thumb, is propelled
through space by a deXterous flip of
the member, which previously had
been held in q condition of suppressed
energy by means of ~interlocking two
or more digits.
In other words, the game of mar
bles is to be part Of the university
curse. The ancient and honorable
pastime, by which the vernal season of
the calendar is heralded by the small
boy, has been included in the scheme
Of exercise in the gymnasium, accord
Ing to the announcement Of r. l.. Klee-
berger, physical director.
Not only the undergraduates, but
the instructors and professors of the
university intend to take n course. De-
grees possibly will be awarded the
most skillful. It is held that the ac-
tivity necessary to play marbles will
be beneficial to a nigh measure.

YOUR LAD AND MY LAD.

Down toward the deep blue water, marching to throb of drum, 4.
From city and country lane the lines of khaki come;
The rumbing guns, the sturdy tread, are full of grim appeal,
While rays of western sunshine flash back from Furnished steel.
With eager eyes and cheeks ahame the serried ranks advance:
And your dear lad, and my dear lad, are on their way to France,
A sob cings choking in the throat, as file on file sweep by,
Between those cheering multtudes, to where the great ships lie:
The batteries halt. the columns wheel, to clear toned buple call.
With shoulders squared and faces front they stand a khaki wall.
Tears shine on every watchers cheek, love speaks in every glance;
For your dear lad, and my dear lad. are on their way to France.
Before them, through the mist of years, in soldier buff or blue,
Brave comrades from a thousand fields watch now in proud review:
The same old flag, the same old faith-the freedom of the world
Spells duty in those Tapping folds above long ranks unfurled.
Strong are the hearts which bear along democracys advance,
AS your dear lad, and my dear lad, 60 on their way to France.
The word rings out; a million feet tramp forward on the road.
Along that path of sacrifice DER which their fathers strobe.
With eager eyes and cheeks afame, with cheers on smiling lips.
These fighting men of ~ move onward to their ships,
Nor even love may hold them back, or halt that stern advance.
AS your dear lad, and my dear lad, go on their way to France.

CHAPTER XVII
Notice to Quit

Before the year was over Mrs. Betty
had become popular with MaxwelPs
Harishioners through her unfailing
good nature, cordiality and persistent
optimism. Even Mrs. Nolan, who liv-
Cd down by the bridge, and made ras
carpets, and suffered from chronic
dyspepsia, remarked to Mrs. Burke
that she thought the parsons wife
was very nice "cause she 'aint a bit
better than any of the rest of U.S.
which tribute to Mrs Betty's tact
made Mrs. Burke smile and look pleas
cd. All the young men and girls of
the parish simply adore her, and IL
was marvellous how she managed to
keep lin touch with all the guilds, do
her own housework, and learn to know
everyone intimately. Hepsey warned
her that she was attempting to do too
much.
"The best parsons wife," she salG,
"is the one who makes the rest work,
while she attends to her own house
hold, and keeps her health. Her bust
ness is not to do the work of the par
son, but to look after him, keep him
well nourished, and cheer BIN up a
little bit when he is tempted to take
the next trolley for Timbuctoo"
The retort was so tempting that
Mrs. Betty could not help saving:
"There's not person in this town
who does so much for others as you
do, and who makes so little fuss about
It. It's the force of your example that
has led me astray, you see"

you called my attention to it. shall
try to break myself Of the habit at
cnce.''
As for Maxwell, his practical help

ing that phase of his activities as a
lever for spiritual upheavels, and his
ready sympathy for and interest in
the needs and doings OF young and
old, irrespective of class or caste,
gradually reaped for him the affec-
tion and respect of all sorts and con-
ditions. In fact, the year had been a
pleasant one for him, and was marrcd
by only one circumstance, the contin-
ued and growing hostility of his Sen
Tor Warden, Mr.. Bascom. From tho
first, he had been distinctly unfriend.
ly towards his rector; but soon after
Maxwells marriage, his annoying op
position was quite open and pronounc'
ed, and the weight of his personal In
fluence was thrown against every
move which Maxwell made towards
the development of the parish life and
work. ..
To those more "in the know" than
the Maxwells themselves, II was evi

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

The Board of Trustees at a meet
ing held last week decided to open
the fall session of the City Schools
on Sept. 18th. The buildings are
being repaired and put in proper
shape for the work to commence.
Prof. Riser is here ready to do his
best to make the schools a success.
Several of the old teachers will not
be back for the coming session, but
new teachers have been added to the
teaching force and it is believed
that the Abbeville schools will offer
good advantages as any of the
schools in the state.
If as many as five pupils wish to
enter the eleventh grade the trustees
have decided to have that grade COM
mence work this year. This addi-
tional grade in the schools will en-
able pupils who wish to enter the
colleges and universities to do so
without examination.
