THE II ESTER IAN.

Soon the bonds will not be worth their face value, in other
words they will be below par, and unless there be a rise in
the market there will be a panic in Wall street and the result
will be a total loss to the partners on account of worthless
bonds which they retain. These they would fain get rid of,
but they cannot, and their only consolation is in singing, "I
wish 1 was single again." Perhaps it would be well for the
Jlftsstugcr to discuss in the next issue, whether or not a col
lege student is an advantage to a sweetheart.
The Notrt Dame Scholastic is a very well written,
unpretentious paper. An article on "The Sweetness ot
Longfellow" in the number bearing date of February 14, is
very interesting. It is to be expected that the Scholastic
should be a first-class paper, for it has just entered upon its
twenty-fourth year. In this paper is printed what is styled
the "Roll of Honor," also "Class Honors." This column
may be of considerable interest to those immediately con
cerned, but it seems to us to savor of the old primary usage.
The cover of the paper is not as prepossessing as it might be,
which we think is a fault with this particular paper, allhcjgh
it might. not be with some of our other exchanges.
Two weeks ago our invincible foot ball team scored
another victoty. Doanc college was the victim and Crete was
the battle ground. About 120 the foot-ball team accom
panied by fifty university students and several high school
enthusiasts boarded the train for Crete. The ride down was
very quiet Every one seemed to be saving himself until a
more advantageous time. Pound, however, was on hand dis
tributing the "old gold" and soon nearly every cane and hat
was decorated, rortcrficld whistled and tried to appear un
concerned but that picture of the giants on the bulletin board
had done its work and we all felt that wc would have a hard
struggle when wc reached Crete. Wc were met at the depot
by several Doanc students and a few of the most portly foot
ball players. They had rolled in the mud and their appear
ance struck many of our faint hearts with terror as we gazed
upon their ungainly figures. But wc managed to put on a
bold front and slowly ascended the long hill leading to the
college where away in the distance wc could sec four poles
standing defiantly upon a high hill and were told that there
the Doanc Hercules would roll us in the mud and otherwise
nrr.usc us for one hour and thirty minutes plus the time the
umpire and referee summed up the argument of twenty-two
men who would undoubtedly insist on talking at one aud tle
same time.
When the two tcam& Anally lined up in mud and slush,
determination was written upon every face. Quite a large
number of people turned out to encourage the home team,
but what our backers lacked in numbers was more than
counterbalanced by enthusiasm. The teams were arranged
as follows:
