The New Curtain.

Inc new CURTAIN.
The curtain rolls back, day by day,
Where we may look within,
To find our part of pain and joy,
OF mystery and sin,
OF war and peace-of life and death
OF happiness and woe,
All ready with their scrambled parts
Of buoyant hopes and broken hearts,
Sped onward by the mystic darts
From Fate's elastic bow.
The curtain rolls back, foot by foot,
Where we may look beyond.
To see what waits along the road
For king and vagabond,
For all who mingle In the game
Or wait around the tee,
For in advance no man may know
The arrows way from Fortunes bow,
Nor who will stick-nor who will blow,
Nor what the score might be.

ago." confdes Jekkel, "who was the

q; o. ? & Re! It:

1914, in the East, found Harvard on
top; 1915 fell to Cornell; 1915 be-
longed to Yale, so far as Harvard and
Princeton was concerned. No Won
der Princeton is looking to 1917 with
yearning eyes. The Tiger, even
though it be at odd intervals, must be
fed.
Home-run ability is not so much a
matter of the Batting Eye as it is the
location Of a right or left field fence.
! Peace may arrive soon.'' But,
whatever the date, it will arrive too
late, for at least 100000, who will
have very little use for it over the rest
of the way. -

And maybe, again, we will fail,
But the least that we want is a chance

To open 'er up, or to trail.
There's new pack at hand for a
plunge or a stall
Where Fate may be tender or raw;
But our eyes are all peeled on the
cards as they fall,
With our ears we'll attuned to the
draw; 90.
And maybe we'll get what we figure is

And maybe Well come to a jar,
But our .eyes are all peeled on the

College Department
Closes a Spirited
Membership Contest

With the regular session Sunday
morning at $3.50 o'clock, the college
department of the FIRST Methodist Sun
day school concluded a very interesting
and successful membership contest that
has been in progress ever since this
department was organized, the first OF
last January. There are two classes in
this department, one of young women
taught by Mrs. w. w. Tousley, and one
of young men, taught by DIR. Wallace
N. Stearns, the latter of the Fargo COL
lege faculty. Miss Ethel Fisher is
president of the young women's class,
and T. 2. Shaw of the other class.
Rather a remarkable coincidence is
that as a result of the contest each
class now has . membership of forty
two, but as the contest was baSed on
the number of points won in conform
ance with certain requirements, the
treats are on the young men,, accord
ing, to the reports given Sunday. The
young ladies. with over roo points,
scored over 100 points more than their
opponents, and will therefore be enter
tanned by the young men next Saturday
evening, festivities to begin at 1880
o'clock. Rev. and Mrs. H. II. Frost have
invited the young people to use the
parsonage for this affair, which will
likely be in the nature of valentine
party While the expense of the re-
hosts, the young ladies will assist in
arranging program for the occasion,

joint committee of four members from
each class "A fine time is anticipated
