There kin Art, close-touches Art-Divine, In which the spirit, ficsh-bcund, great may shine The Rat-Lax, disrupting Ancient Night; Whence Day-spring sprang, and mirkest dark was light.

Emerson fays, "all life is a search for power,'' and the child between two and three is seek ing for wider fields. As the physical chords of mother-hoxl weaken, the bonds of Fpi ritual inolher-hood should strengthen; but too often, for lack of wisdom and time, the reverse of this happens, and the alienation which takra place between a mother and her three year-old child is never tiridged over. The principal need of the 89 "naughty children" is for conditions which will let them use their developing strcnglh in association with their pears. It is here the kindergarten comes in as the mother's helper, for it provides just these conditions. All the great truths which the world is striving to live may be brought within the comprehension of the three year-old child in the kinder garten. He can readily ste the results of his own acta as the effect of his own volition. In learning to adjust himself to his companions and live in harmony, he is entering upon great questions social relations, and the solution of which the world breathleesly waits. His energy is turned to practical account, ho makes something, and learns the world's great lesson the joy of service. As an aid to the ideal development of a child, the kindergarten has no rival. It will help the mother in her divine task of helping a soul to more adaquate ly reflect its maker. Harriet H. Heller. The Kindergarten and the. Mother. It is possible to so adjust the lens through which we look at life that the work of the mother not only seems the work the of the world but the only work worth considering. Vet in a uni verse so ordered that there is no waste, it must mean something, that maternity is granted only the smaller half of its laborers. Perhaps it means that the rest we to assist the mothers. If this be trut, it indeed agrees that the mo thers need help. Indeed, does not and ehouki not all things animate and in animate, unite to assist in the pro duction and developement of the human leings highest, noblest and most ada quete revelation of the Creator that we yet know. But a9 we are able by great er patience and wisdom to assist human ouis to more perfect development then and then only, shall wo approach the ideal of seeing face to face. 'The new born child lie3 helpless in it? new domain the universe, a bundle of possibilities, an undeveloped soul. who3 only possibility of connexion with this material world, which he is to conquer. lies in the yet unopened road ways, the senses. For weeks and months, the mother supplies his every need. She rouses and calls forth tbo awakening soul, with tender smile and soft caress, lets down the bars to road the ways the senses. The spiritual life requires nurture and care a well k6 does the body, while the lov ing m-th"r tends tha body, consciously, (unconsciously for the most part.) she developee the spiritual nature. Children who receive but little care, thought and love at this period are not tbo normal, brigLt, active little people with whom wc are familliar. A child absolute des titute cf mothering, is apt to be qui.o abnormal, dull or even fcable minded. By tie time the child is two years old, he has usually parsed beyond the starve where be requires the undivided thought acd attention of the mother. He begins to need other things.

GRIDIRON If one compares the two scores of t he games which Tarkio played with the State University and Wesleyan University, one sees that the game between these two latter schools will be a close and interesting one. The "Varsity team showed tip the lest in resiwct to rapid playing, and undoubt ly will play a faster game than Wes leyan. But this is merely a surmise. What can lie done in a week issurpris ing. and it is iKissible that the home team will have no great advantage. Coach Thomas is working the line men into shape, and Coach Crawford the backs of Wesleyan. Both these men are good men. hut are not used to ninty-seven methods as is Coach llobison. In comparing the two games one must, take into account the ex isting circumstances of each day. A muddy field played Tarkio and Nebras ka on a level when it came to field. Whatever advantage one might have had in quick starting and snap, was lost for this reason. What Nebraska won uikiii, was lietter influence and superior defense work. In the game following, the ground was dry and if AVesleyan had lieen iiossosed of faster play, she would have had a jioint over Tarkio which Nebraska did not have. Then too, the team was utterly worn out from the game liefore. No team can play two games hand running and do well in second; for the players are too stiff and lacking in ginger to do themselves justice. Considering these facts, it apjiears as if the "Varsity team should defeat the visitors from Wesleyan on tlie twenty-third. The game lictwccn I own AVesIeyan and Missouri .State University ttKiii the same day as the game ujkjii the home grounds, has set every one en quiring aliout Iowa Wesleyan. The score of six-four indicates either that Missouri is weak, or a new star has risen. Twice, the players from Iowa carried the ball to Missouri's touch down line ahd were not iermitted to score lierausc time was just tip in each halt, Missouri has canceled her game with Iowa on the ground that Iowa is Do hot be misled Cheap Stores and Cheap Goods now being" placed on the market, but stay with the old est and most reliable firm it the city. - - as .

According to the constitution all memliers of this league must lie rep resented at the meeting, and Iowa failing in this respect is technically outside. Whether Kansas will raise the same objection is unknown, but the game between the two is played in a week: and so far Kansas has said or done nothing. The charge which wasmadeand published in the Kansas City Star, that uikiii the University team of Kansas there is to be found two hired players, has Ikhmi refuted by Chancellor Snow in a circular letter sent to the various in stitutions forming the league. The person making the statement supports his words by claiming to have a portion of the corresjiondence which iiassed lietween the playersand the manager and coach. Caspar Whit ney, of Harjter'n Weekly, is investigat ing the charges, and one may lie sure, that if there is any truth in it. it will lie brought to light. Brown University, the institution from which Nebraska obtained her coach, gave Yale a severe shock last Monday, in scoring fourteen jioints to Yale's eighteen. The difference in score was due merely to Brown's full back failing to kick goal. Had he succeeded in making every one, the score would have been eighteen each. It will be remembered that Brown tied Yale in the season of "!"), and Coach Robinson in this game made his enviable reputation. THE BALLADE OF FOOTBALL, A hundred groans upon the air Above the yelk and shouts arise, And bones are crunching everywhere, While shrieks proclaim the agonies. Oh, listen to the glad, sweet cries That follow on the mob's mad praise, 'When they poke out each other's eyes Oh, happy, joyous college days! Now watch the halfback, debonair, Push in a face as on he flies, Or break a head beyond repair In this, his gentle exercise! And see the rush as he unties His knotted legs or starts to graze Upon the mud that 'neath him lies Oh, happy, joyous college days! The ambulance flits here and there To gather up the mangled thighs, The unclaimed heads, the tufts of hair, That once were full of enterprise! Veep not if mother's darling dies, And death his sightless orbs doth glaze, We'll chant his valor to the skies Oh, happy, joyous college days! L'envoy. Prince, so long as we've the prize, What care though the morgue displays The ones we loved to idolize? Oh, happy, joyous college days! NOTICE. (First Publication October 21.)
