Homesick and heartsick. Viola
Glenn arrived at a settled cOnclu-
sion as to the best course she
should pursue Since she was a
child she had been motherless.
Then for six years her father and
herself had made their home with
a distant relative, an old widow
lady At length Mr.. Glenn had
been called west to look after
some property near the Mexican
border From a place named WaE-
Ter he had written Viola that his
duties would detain him longer
than he had thought.
1t was only that Viola spent
many pleasant hours with her
fiance. Ernest Dare, that she was
willing to remain away from her
father. Then came a second cause
of anxiety and loneliness Her low
er received a letter from Mr.. Glenn
asking him to come to him, as This
engineering experience would be of
much benefit. Viola Glenn was
tearfully solicitous when Ernest
impaired to her this intelligence,
but he assured her that within a
few months 10th he and her father
would return: Then came a long
spell of silence on the part of both
father and lover. Viola wrote re-

could only decide that they had

SORTING OVER THE SYMPTOMS.

SORTING OVER THE SYMPTOMS.
My readers will recall that have
frequently declined to publish symp-
toms Do not assume, however, that
l consider symptoms of no value.
They have great value, for they tell
the sufferer that there is something
wrong with his health, and, if the
symptoms peFsevere long enough
they drive him ultimately to the
doctor
Lightly here, for we tread delicate
ground. How will the doctor weigh
the symptoms? Will he sort them
over and try to fit them to some dis
ease, after the manner, Of picture
puzzle games? Will he look wise
and remain anchored in his chair
and write a prescription for some
new-fangled doctors nostrum? Will
he make the symptoms the material
out of which he constructs the
diagnosis on which his advice must
be based, or will he consider the
symptoms merely as suggestive OF
the direction his examination
should take? That all depends on
the kind of doctor and on his esUl-
nation of the class of patient. If he
is good doctor, and If he feels that
the patient is willing to buy some
of his skill, then he proceeds sys-
tematically to follow up the clues
presented to him by the patients
chief complaints.
Vague rumors from Europe are
not one whit less reliable than
symptoms. recall vividy how, when
l had the appendicitis las l blush
to confess) / could not understand,
until the day after the operation,
why an indulgence in cocoanut had
given me such a prodigious stom-
achache for once in my well regu-
lated life.
symptoms are a dangerous thing
20 monkey with. If you have any 90
not sort them over more than neces-
sary, but take them to a doctor and
see what he will see.

Luther evened things up by winning

lowing from the Dubuque Herald
about the game:
Having unraveled all the bad base
ball they knew on the day previous
the Luther college baseball team
tramped up the Fourteenth st. hill
Saturday afternoon and proceeded to
erase the faint on their record. They
succeeded after battling twelve Cruel
ling rounds with Pitcher Bernard

1t was a bitter pill !cAreavy
to swallow as he pitche d winning
game but nine to one is hardly a
fair proportion and he capitulated
only after giving the DEBORAH bunch
the toughest opposition they have en-
countered this season. 1t was the
verdict of several of the visiting
players that Mac had more stuff on
the ball than any man they had fac
ed this season.
The last appearance of Luther on
the Dubuque College diamond was
back in 1909 when Red" Faber was
hurting for the Purple and Gold and
Father Steffen was doing the back
stopping. Red let them down with
one single that trip and the locals
copied the proper end of to l
score.

check Plass' nine Friday, came back
yesterday and pitched brand of
ball that baffled the cadets COM

to the plate only to watt the breeze
harmlessly. Four hits are accredit-
ed to the Dubuquers, but only one
was of the clean-cut variety. Ray
mond Finn, second baseman, had the
distinction Of performing that merit
orious feat. He was not so stingy
with the passers, permitting four to

ing alright ball the chances of ever
getting the run back looked slim.
The DEBORAH moundsman tipped the
adipose pill from the summit with
such velocity and funny twisters that
the opposing batsmen failed to flut-
ter until the seventh inning. Johnny
Long popped an easy fly to Monson,
but' Larsen muffed Mccormack S
grounder to first. Cannon then came
across with wallop to short center
which either the left or center gar
dener could have scooped easily with
little judicious composure. They
became tangled up some way or an
other and the ball fell between them
for a hit. Mccormack scampered all
the way home before the horsehide
bolus could be relayed to the catcher.
Dubuque had chance to win the
game in the ninth, but the punch to
score was lacking. Finn started off
with a crash to right field. He stole
second and went to third when Nc
Cormack grounded to Ellingson. In
the meanwhile Johnny Long had

Failure of Bottalfson y to touch
third after slamming drive over
the left field wall prevented Luther
from winning in the tenth. An end
was put to the long contest in the
twelfth when o. Sorlein whanged a
fast one by Keane at third. The ball
started straight at Johnny Long, but
seemed to deviate it's course as it APP
preached the horticulturalist and he
failed to impede it's progress on its

hand for the encounter. Dubuque
