play basketball on last Saturday. Our
boys had just returned from the South
Dakota trip on which they were snow
ed in but pulled themselves together
sufficiently we'll that they won the
game by q score of % to 81. On Mon
day of this week Coach Cook and six
of the boys went to Valley City for a
game with the normal team on Mon
day night. The trains were so late
that the boys had to play without sup
per which told seriously upon them in
the latter part of the game. They were
beaten after putting up a heroic game,
They were able this time to get back
without being. snowbound.
On Saturday afternoon after the
Yankton game the cadets of Company

took the form of a debate rally when
Miss Brendemuhl, Professor Fuller
and Miss Olson each gave a talk on
the opportunity and benefits Of debate
after which a committee Of students
was appointed to confer with the FAC
|ulty on choice of questions and time
and plans for the debate. The school
has received a challenge from Aber-
deem and from Wahpeton and the
questions to be decided are. Shall we
Debate? and What Shall the Question
Be?
On Monday night Miss Gay Zenola
MacLaren gave what was expected to
be the closing number of the lecture
course for this year. Miss MacLaren
gave George Broadhurst's Bought and
Paid For in four acts, in reading and
Interpretation. She is an expert in this
line and gave q very excellent enter
tainment It was somewhat out OF the
usual order of Lyceum numbers but
perhaps all the more interesting for
that reason.

Vacation and Efficiency.

1t Is the change, really more than
the rest, that is of so much value in a
vacation. Besides the absorption of

and even atrophic, to exercise and de-
velop. 1t is restoration of balance.

years the spring hat longer plays leading part
as an Easter symbol. for, 1t insists appear

until Easter time, 1t can no longer make Easter
entrance with any dramatic effect.
Those who complain that it is difficult to
member the date of Easter should glance the
records of the troubles of the early Christians
In this regard. It was many, many years before
1t was possible to settle upon the method where
by the date Of Easter should be determined and
so violent were the disputes over the matter that
different schools of Christians arose, follow
ing decree to the Easter celebration and
others obedient to entirely opposite pronuncia-
mentos.
Discrepancies In Dates
There was such difference in calculations as to
the time of the feast that Bede records that in a
certain year Queen Eanfeda who had received
her instruction from a Kentish priest Of the Ro-
man obedience, was fasting and keeping Palm
Sunday while her husband, Oswy king Of North
umbria following the rule of the British church,
celebrating the Easter festival. In 325, ut
the council summoned by Constantine, 1t was de-
cided that Easter day was to be on Sunday and
that 1t to be calculated at Alexandria, the
home of astronomical science From this
the present method of calculating Easter, which
sets the day the first Sunday after the first
full moon after the verna equinox provided that
full moon does not fall Sunday. Should 1t do
so then Easter Is the following Sunday.-New

containing the mixture in a saucepan of boiling
water and stir rapidly and constantly until 1t
thickens like boiled custard Tarragon vinegar
may be used in place of the lemon Juice, with the
addition of n few tarragon leaves blanched and
cut up very small.
Scrambled eggs with green peppers make very
good Easter dish. For four or five persons at
least six eggs should be used. Toast slices Of
bread for each person and lay in dish to keep
hot. Put tablespoonful Of butter in the frying
pan, and while heating break the eggs into q
bowl. Allow tablespoonful of cream water
to each egg. Milk Is not good for omelettes or
scrambled eggs AS soon the butter is melted
and begins to bubble, turn the eggs in, and the
whites begin to set lift and stir with silver fork

pers from which the seeds have been removed
and after the eggs begin to cook stir the peppers
through the mixture. Cook a half moment dish

Alan Ware was twenty and Mary
Watson was eighteen when they ran
brother objected to the visits of his
prospective brother-in-law.
Bruce Watson objected because his
own life was soured. He was five
years the senior of Mary had inherited
the family estate, had doubled. and
trebled 1t in two years and was rich
man. Then he ran across beautiful
but frivolous girl, who lured him on
to love, and eloped with a circus actor,
leaving Bruce the laughing stock of the
town. From that moment Bruce Wat
son shut out of his heart all human
sympathy. He was tyrannical with his
sister and she submitted, except when
1t came to Alan Ware. She loved him
devotedly and ran away with him to
get married.
II cast the unworthy creature out of
my life forever!" pronounced Bruce,
and he kept his word.
Thenceforth he interested himself
no further in their doings than to cold
ly listen to n friend, who told him of
the poor, but happy truants, who had
settled down on little leased farm
twenty miles distant.
The years went on. Bruce Watson
became recluse. He lived in a
sumptuOus manner, his gains in
creased, he had leisure to indulge in
such fads as appealed to his fancy. for
he practically had nothing else to do.
He tOyed with numismatics. He had
very unique collection of coins. He
bought rare old books. These efforts
at banishing ennui filled in his life, but
there was no real happiness or interest
ut base.
He heard about his sister frequently,
In casual sort of way only, however,
for he turned deaf ear to particulars.
Her husband had turned out steady,
Industrious man and Mary contented,
sweet-tempered woman.

In his splendid equipage, Bruce passed

and unfeeling as ice.
So nearly half a century passed
away. Bruce Watson was an old man,
shriveled, snarling, unhappy. Time
had as well touched the clear brow of

Mary. Through all the years, however,
