were tables for whist. The imported

heard everywhere.
Presently Georges modification was

CHAPTER III.

Until he reached the age Of twelve
Georges education was a domestic
process; tutors came to the house,
and those citizens who yearned for his
taking down often said: "Just wait till
he has to go to public school; then
he'll get itw But at twelve George
was sent to a private school in the
town, and there came from this small
and independent institution no report,
or rel rumor, of Georges getting
anything that he was thought to de-
serve; therefore the yearning still per-
sisted, though growing gaunt with
feeding upon itself.
The yearners were still yearning
when George at sixteen was sent
away to a great prep school,"
"Now," they said brightly, hell get
it! He'll find himself among boys just
as important in their home town as he
is, and they'll knock the stufing out
of him when he puts on his airs with
them! Oh, but that would be worth
something to see" They were' mis-
taken, it appeared, for when George
returned a few months later he still
seemed to have the same stufing. He
had been deported by the authorities,
the offense being stated as "insolence
and profanity ;" in fact, he had given
the principal of the school instruc-
lions almost identical with those, for
merly objected to by the Rev. Malloch
Smith.
But he had not got his come-upance,
and those who counted upon it were
embittered by his appearance upon
the downtown streets driving a dog
cart at a criminal speed, making Pc
destrians retreat from the crossings,
and behaving himself as if he "owned
the earth"
When Mr.. George Anderson Nina
fer came home for the holidays at
Christmastide in his sophomore year,
probably no great change had taken
place inside him, but his exterior was
visibly altered. Nothing about him
encouraged any hope that he had re-
ceived his ~come-upance; on the con.
trary, the yearners for that stroke OF
Justice must yearn even more itch

and, standing thus together, the trio
offered a picturesque example of good
looks persistent through three gene
rations. The Major, his daughter and
his grandson were Of a type all Am

dark eyes, short noses, good chins;
and the grandfather's expression, no
less than the g%randson's, was one Of

was a difference, however. The grand
sons unllned young face had nothing
to offer except this condescension ;
the grandfather's had other things to

game at Eugene on November Is is
being proposed, according to DIR. John

is in the city Considerable interest
is being manifest in the proposed trip,
he said today.
The big game at Eugene will mark
the dedication of a new athletic field
for the state university and will also
be Homecoming week for alumni of
the university. 1t will be one of the
biggest week-ends in the history of
the institution, according to DR..
Straub and alumni are coming from
all over the northwest. 1t is be-
Iieved that sufficient persons will
come from this part of the state to
warrant a special train
The oregon Aggie hackers. too,
will want to take part in the annual
game and dedication of the field, DR..
Straub believes, and a goodly num-
ber of them would assure the success
of a train. Wallace Eakin and
Prentiss Brown, at Baker, Fred Kid
