COME INTO THE GARDEN, MAUD.

Come into the garden Maud.
FOR the black bat. night. has flown!
Come into the garden, Maud,
L am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbne spices waited abroad
And the musk of the roses blown.
For a breeze of morning moves
And the planet Of Love is on high
Beginning to faint in the light that she loves.
On bed of daffodil sky
To faint in the light of the sun that she loves.
To faint in its light and to die.
All night have the roses heard
The flute, VIOLIN bassoon;
All night has the easement jessamine stirred
To the dancers dancing in tune
Till silence fell with the waking bird
And hush with the setting moon.

M with whom she has heart to be gay.
When will the dancers leave her alone?
She is weary of dance and play
Now half to the setting moon gone,
And half to the rising day;

The last wheel echoes away.

From the lake to tire meadow and to the wood
Our wood, that is dearer than all;
From the meadow your walks have left so swcc
That whenever a March-wnd sighs

In violets blue your eyes.

JOY RIDING THROUGH COLLEGE

In the opinion of Dr. Stratton D.
Brooks, president OF the University of
Missouri, joy riding is no part of the
process of obtaining al education.
Ponies" may help some students to get
through college, but it is almost as hard
for a youthful owner of an automobile
to pass out OF the door of university
with a shcepskin under his arm as it is
for camel to trot through the eve OF a
needle. Therefore,. DR.. Brooks has writ
ten letter to the parents of the students
under his charge requesting them to do
their part toward making the university
an institution of learning, i'll the academic
sense OF the term
There is probably no one thing more
detrimental to success in university

a motor car" Experience shows that an
unusually large proportion of students

the parents were requested to deny the
acquisitions" of their sons for autorn0-
biles. and to take away cars that had
already been supplied.
Possibly there are two sides To this
question. However. it is gratifying to
observe that President Brooks lid not
arbitrarily bar automobiles from among
the students. He displayed an adnirablt
sense OF the fitness OF things edrcation

But though there NAV be two side'

There are many boys who during a

reckless and daring criminals. Secret

bravado-they envy the notorious
highwaymen of the open country or

period in which this obsession touches
them, they have passed a critical
phase of their youth. and in later
years they can look back with salts

able to keep on the right track and
thus have avoided the evil and dam

FUTILITY OF CRIME

used the last cartridges in their pistols
to kill themselves rather than surrender
On the back of bench they had scrib-
bled a last defiance in misspelled letters
to the guards and troops who hemmcd
them in.
For four longs days these desperate
criminals stood at bay knowing from the
first instant they entered the building
that the end was inevitable. But they
had shot down their guards in trying
to escape and they realized fully that
execution awaited them # captured.
While the convicts stood at bay inside

Strange indeed must have been the
thoughts and emotions of the three cor
nered men, knowing as they did know
that the end had come and that they
must die. not as men customarily die.
but rather as men self-doomed by their
folly. They knew they could not get
out alive and the only satisfaction LETT
to them was the possibility of being able
to shoot down one or more OF their
guards before they were killed them
selves. This, after the first wild break,
they were unable to do. One OF them
was killed by the fire OF the guards
and the other two probably shot them
selves when their ammunition gave out
and further resistance was impossible.
The tragic end OF these men points
