I thought I would find Home donr Bwert little white haired old maid to uh all the exprcHBloiiH I've hourd nhout her, and to find a woman like that, wan, to say the leant, unex pected," "Aha! I thought you'd like her," said the unsuspicious youth. The winter paHBed very pleasantly for MIbb Martha, ob bIip worked for her little HiiKBianB, or untangled and patdied up affairs for her retinue of hoys and girls. I'Vlton Flske fell naturally Into the hahlt of dropping Into the little cot take with the boys, then often with out the hoys. "I knew you would.' Bald his ador ing nephpw. "You can't help It. We all do. She said you could he one of her lioys before you came." This promise waB brought up to Mlfib Martha that evening when she and Mr Khike were reading one of Van Dyke'fc books which Felton had brought over. They had a habit of reading the late books together and were pleased, but not surprised, to find that their tastes agreed on bookB, as on a love for young people and out of door life. It seemed very pleasant and natural that such a friendship Hhould grow as it did, but when the "gang" as the H. S. boys called themselves, had come to Miss Martha for advice, consolation, or lust a good time and found Mr. Flske already thoro, Indignation waxed strong and Phil was not exempt from the general blamo. "You might have known what would happen, you old plug. Now, just see what you've done." Phil was also getting uneasy, but showed his loyalty to his undo still. The climax came, however, when one cold snowy morning, Douglas burBt In upon the crowd with, "This thing's got to quit. I put It to a vote now," and ho stopped, panting and indignant "What's up, Doug?" they inquired. "Well,' he spoke In a whisper, "Phil't uncle and Miss Martha have started foj the reservation in oue of Johnson' cutters, and By George! this Is go ing to far!" A chorus of indignant exclamations followed this announcement and aftej school that afternoon a crowd assem bled at the library In Douglas UaJneV home. For hours great hilarity reigned and a satisfied look was upon the face of each boy when he departed. The next day after a long wet tramp through the cedar bluffs Felton Flske returned to his sister's home, tired and hungry. As he dropped into a big chair before his bright fire hie saw on his desk a very Imposing look ing document, with a great flourish of Ink and much red seal. Curiously tak ing It up, he slowly brojto the seals and read, first with a smile, which deep ened as ho read, then changed to an expressed half .sober, half pleased, and when it was finished he sat looking long Into tho flro, his eyes, which wen in him truly "the windows of the soul" growing more tender and fraiiK. Immediately after dinner he placed the document carefully In his pockot ,and started out. "I must find her alone," he thought Miss Martha, used to guests at all hours, received him In her study, where she sat by the fire, sewing. "Did you bring the book?" she asked. "No. but I have something more in teresting," replied her guest, and pull ing out the document, he handed it to her, then leaning his arm against the mantle he looked down at her aa she read it.

I lore Ib what she read: "We, tho 'gang' of Benton high Bchool, do hereby formulate the fol lowing resolutions: "1. We, tho 'gang," are friendB o,' Miss Martha Hall, who 1b In turn out teacher, adviser, confidant, and friend "2. Tho said Miss Hall 1b an in dispensable part of this communltj , and It can not get along without her. "3. Specialization Is a good thing In Its plnce, but to specialize in men Is not a desirable accomplishment. "4. MIsb Martha Hall has not, bo far, specialized In men, and so of her own accord is not likely to do bo now. 'T. However, be It resolved. That If von. as there Is due reason to believe, 'ry to persuade her from hor chosen ourse. It will become the painful duty of the 'gang' you to leave this town "G. A copy of these resolutions will be sent to Mr. Felton Flske. and a opy to be placed In the Black Record of the 'gang.' Signed. "THE GANG," "Benton H. S." When Felton Flske saw the paper Ilp from Miss Martha's hand he bent over her and said: "Miss Martha, shall I go alone?" And she looked up at him with a smllr through her tears and said. "No, not If you need me more than they " H. B. Other Side Of It. (Continued from pnge 1.) the publication of the Junior book was ?iven are well known In Lincoln and Jio University. Three of them have 'iad experience In the newspaper field, and the Integrity of any of them can not be questioned. The thing for the Sophomore clasp to do Is to turn down those who seek 'o sow the seeds of dlssentlon nnd internal strife and to sustain the de cision of the majority. E. M. MARVIN Editor's Note: It appears to the Nc braskan from leading the above letter that our correspondent has formed var 'ous misconceptions in regaid to oui itund In reference to the Sombrero af fair. In the first place, we can defi nitely state that the members of tin Sophomore class who are most promi nent in circulating the petition which we published yesterday supported Mr Smith for the class presidency. Thr movement does not seem to be con fined to the faction that suffered defeat In that contest, but, so far as we can discover, meets the approval of mem bers of the class In general. In reference to the article in The Ne braskan of February G. in which it was stated that the management of next vear'B Sombrero woul ebdndure eltsh vear's Sombrero would be under the ontrol of the next president of the Mnrs. we would call the attention of qui orrespondont to the fact that at that tme no member of the class had seen he necessity for changing the method of selecting the Sombrero board, and ve based our statement on the custom which has prevailed in past years on this subject. In this connection we 'night mention that the statement line boon published that The Nebnlskau took contradictory views of this mat ter before and after the election. This Is not true. We have not attempted 'X) construe the Sophomore constitution it any time, -and the opinions that were voiced In that regard In our Issue of yesterday were takne from bona fide Interviews -with members of the class. We venture the suggestion, however, that a perusal of the constitution might clear many of the points In dispute If that document makes no provision for tho naming of the Sombrero board we fail to see where Mr. Smith secured it. Wo aro also surprised that so strict a follower of custom as that gentleman Is said to be should so far have forgot ten himself as to have announced the board before tho remainder of tlu class officers wore eleeted. Nor do wo understand why Mr. Smith's support ers should object so strenuously to a plan which could not but offer a just solution of the difficulty. It seems to us that the election of the Sombren board would furnish an excellent op portunlty for Mr. Smith to vlndlcat( himself in the eyes of his supporten by offering his full approbation of the project.
