Thackeray's Version.

M ERTHER had a love for Charlotte
w Such as words could never utter;
Would you know how first he met her?
She was cutting bread and butter.
Charlotte was a married lady,
And moral man was Werther,
And for all the wealth of Indies
Would do nothing for to hurt her.
So he sighed and pined and ogled,
And his passion boiled and bubbled,
Till he blew his silly brains out
And no more was by it troubled.
Charlotte, having seen his body
Borne before her on shutter,
Like well conducted person
Went on cutting bread and butter

Hauptmann's Characters.

HAUPTMANN's characters have an or
IL ganic justification. They grow as
plants grow, or as the sound of a sea
shell, which comes to our ears on the
waves of the air, swells on and dies out;
but in the depths of our heart we hear it
eternally long after it has been swal-
lowed up by the roar of the universe.
Thus do the people grow whom the magic
touch of this poet has brought into life;
thus do they grow into death. He does
not kill them by chance. They simply de-
part; depart when their soul has been
used up. To ashes, to earth, to leaf. to
rind. Thus Pippa, departing like dying
ray of the sun, fades out before the eyes
of old Wann, whom Hauptmann has set
apart from the current of events. and
who lost in enigmatical contemplation
abides patiently; a humble, lofty nature
who in the whirring of insect wings hears
the breathing OF the spheres.-From "The
Women Of Gerhart Hauptmdnn' in the
Freeman.

of fight that American fiction can offer.
Except the fight in Cashel Byron and Haz-
litt's famous essay / cannot think of any

finales of Mr.. Shaw's or Hazlitt's capital
pieces. Another composer than Mr..

Future Options.

= OMETIMES, indeed, publisher "signs
~ up" with an author for an option on
so many of his books to come as the next
ten. There have even been cases wherein
an author has agreed to give his pub
Usher the first examination of all his
work for the rest of his life. The mean
ing of this arrangement is that the pub
Usher is at liberty to decline any book
that the author may submit to him, after
which decision the author is at liberty
to place the book elsewhere; but the
author is obligated to continue to submit
first to this publisher anything else that
he does. Instances have occurred where
the publisher has agreed to take anything
and everything that an author does.

Pepys's S Diary.

HAVE recently been asked sundrv
questions about Samuel Pepys's ia
nous diary. This was written in cipher
and covers but short period of Pepys's
life-from 1859 to 1869. Pepys left the
manuscript, with his library, to Magda-
lene College, Cambridge, and there the
six bound volumes of cipher remained
untouched until, in 1919, the Rev. John
Smith undertook to decipher them. He
tells us that he worked for three years at
the task, usually for twelve and four
teen hours day, with frequent wakefuI
nights" portion of the transcript was
published by Lord Braybrooke in two vol

been reprinted by many firms. But in
none of these editions is more than half

STANFORD out
OF CONFERENCE
SERIOUSBREAK
Maintains in Withdrawing That
Non-C Conference Game Not
Subject to Censure.

: New York, Nov. "A serious break
has occurred in the Pacific coast foot
bail conference on account of the with
drawal of Leland Stamford university,
Stanford resigned from the conference
as q result of a reprimand. from the
conference for alleged ~discourtesy and
for violations of conference ruling by
~sceduling a game with the University
of Pittsburgh on December 80. The
fact that Stanford had no representa-
tive at the ~conclaye held in Portland,
Ore, on October Z is said to have
aroused the ire of officials of the con
ference. No notice Of the rebuke has
been received at Stanford and the
withdrawal decision was based upon
reports furnished by a witness present
for Stanford by proxy.
According to the resolution passed
by the board of control Stanford's po-
sition is that she has at all times acted
in good faith in arranging a game with
Pittsburg, that she repeatedly informed
the conference that she did not wish
to be considered as a possibility to
represent the west in n East-West
competition at Pasadena on New Years
day, that Stanford arranged the Pitts
burgh game as q non-conference game
to be played on her own grounds and
that President Dubach was notified
Immediately.

Stanford maintained in withdrawing
that it had not been the custom for
members to report to officials negotia-
tons for non-conference games. that

plays it is thought probable that Bill
lings will use.
But the mentors have very little of
the football low down on what Bill
lings will USE, the team is not ranked
up among the first division on COM
parative scores, but the majority of
games have been with teams in the
southern part of the state or Wyom-
ing about which nothing is known.
The squad turns In a good health re-
port, not a player possessing any in
jury which is liable to keep him out
of the game Saturday. Coach Crouch
has not decided whether to start Char.
teris or Murphy at quarter and it is
probable that both of them will be
used. The remainder of the lineup will
be as in the games to date, with eth
er Shaw or CoWan starting on the OPP
posite wing of the line from Lowry,
Captain Baier and Thisted as fixtures
at tackles. Bartsch and Harris start
ing at guards and Olson passing 'em
back. Sohl is scheduled to start in
his usual fullback berth, thanked by a
picked pair from HobeR, Anderson,
Woodahl and Jaeger.
Particularly noticeable last Satur-
day was the improvement in interior
ence, the ability of the backs to fol-
low it. and the lack of fumbling. This
is a good omen. for fumbling is usual
ly one of the last faults which a team
is able to correct and is a dependable
index of measuring general ability. In
case stormy weather prevails for the
game Saturday, n team which can hold
the ball has a big edge on that point
alone.
The Billings team will reach Great
Falls early tonight, coming in on the
Great Northern, and will be quarter
ed at the Park hotel during it's stay
here.
