I was sitting in my quarters one 4 Y evening after retreat when my friend X ♦ Charlie St. Clair came in with a woe- !♦ X begone expression ou his face and, throwing himself into an easy chair, heaved a deep sigh. Charlie was one of the handsomest men 1 ever knew and withal the most lovable. He and I had been classmates and chums at West Point, bad served together in the Spanish-Aincrican war and were now
stationed at ibe same post. 'What's up. Charlie?” I asked.

a prominent Confederate general in this—the general when an engagement was coming on never could settle down to the work before him without riding out to the tiring line. Then he would ride back ready to listen to orders. Charlie lost all his indolence under the rattle of rifles and the boom of big guns, besides becoming brave as a
lion.
“I tell you what you do, Charlie,” I suggested—“put in all your time between now and the ride exercising. Get off some of your surplus flesh and harden your muscles.” “Oh. I’m too big!" That told the story exactly. He was a big man, and the accumulation of inertia had got ahead of him. I persuaded him to let me train him, and I worked with him right up to the day of the ride. But it was no use. I
The professor of oratory at Wooster University has proposed such a league and he writes that Vanderbilt, Illinois, Ohio, Purdue and Wabash ore entering and if a league is formed with these schools the association decided that DePauw should be a member. This of course, does not mean that DePauw will withdraw from the league already in existence but simply gives us another

I told him I might find a way to pull | him through, hut he shook his head I
despondently.
We hadn’t gone ten miles before I j saw the game was up for Charlie
From tlie very start lie looked tired. GROWN
and every mile we rode he lost breath The sweat was rolling down Ids fat cheeks, and he was the picture of melancholy. We had gone over about half the distance when, making an effort, be spurred beside me. puffing, reeling, j a bluish white hue on his face, and told me he was going to drop out. We were riding past a country place at the time, and 1 saw him turn in at the gate. That was the Inst I saw of him
on the ride.
On reaching my quarters the next day 1 found an order to go to France to be present at the army maneuvers. I was gone six weeks and on my return received a note from Charlie saying that he had been unable to leave the house where ho had taken refuge and wished me to go to him. I took n train and, getting off at the nearest station, drove to the house, prepared for a sad sight. Judging by his appearance when I had seen him last, he had probably strained some vital part, and 1 feared to find him forced to give up life ns well as the army. On reaching the house I sent in my card and was ushered into his
room.
There sat Charlie In an easy chair, surrounded by every luxury, puffing a fragrant cigar. His color was the healthiest, and Ids flesh was his usual 22rt pounds. A white headed old lady went out of the room as 1 entered it and left us alone together. “I’ve sent for you. old man.” he said. “to get me out of a hole. 1 haven’t yet been retired and am amenable to military discipline. In fact, I’m here without leave. I want you to go to Washington and fix matters up for
me.”
“I’ll send a surgeon to see you. He’ll give you a certificate, I suppose, of disability." "No. he won’t.” replied Charlie “I’m not sick.” “Well, then, what’s the matter?” Charlie reached out, pushed a button, a maid appeared, and be told her t > ask her mistress If she would honor him with her presence. In a few moments a pretty woman of about twen-ty-eight stepped into the room and stood, so to speak, at attention. “That’s what’s the matter,” said Charlie. “Mrs. Edgerton, permit me to present one of my most esteemed brother officers. Colonel Brewster, culled sometimes R. Rooster by those who love him, a gentleman and a soldier every Inch. Colonel. Mrs. Edgerton Is to honor me with her hand. I retire from the army into matrimony.” I could have been knocked down with a feather. While all us fellows had heeri'galloping over the country to prevent being retired the big. good nn tured, winsome, lazy St. Clair had dropped out of the race into the arms of a charming widow and a splendid fortune. Mrs. Edgerton had taken pity on poor St. Clair from the day he had rid don up to her house and had given him both meat and drink. Every day after that he would say that he must !»o gone, and the widow would say that he was not yet recovered. Before he was considered out of danger he had proposed to and been accepted by the widow. Since St. Clair’s ease has become known all the unmarried officers of the nrmv wish to take the president’s ride. F. A. MITCHEL.

Secret practice was held again yesterday on McKeen Field. The work was practically the same as the coach gave his men in Tuesday's practice, beginning with twenty min- | utes open field tackling practice on returned punts each member of the squad getting an individual work-
out in this department.
In the scrimmage of three quarters of an hour which followed the varsity was kept continually on the defensive and formed an impassable |
barrier for the reserves.

The members of the Young Women's Christian Association at yesterday’s meeting were given an account of the recent meeting of delegates representing various colleges in the state at Earlham College, Richmond. Miss Tessie Evans was the principal speaker, but short addresses were given by various members of the DePauw delegation. The meeting was opened with a Scripture reading by Miss Pyke, the local president. Miss Evans was then introduced as the speaker for the association's representative. “We were all royally entertained,” said Miss Evans, “and you girls who didn’t attend missed a splendid meeting of the Y. W. C. A. workers and a good time. Earlham acquitted herself splendidly as an entertainer, and we who were present will not soon forget, their hospitality.” Miss Evans then gave a brief resume of the meeting. She commented on the talks of Miss Ruth Paxton Miss Margery iMelcher, Mrs. Mans field and Mrs. Helm. • The business meetings and the things accomplished at them were explained at some
length.
"Every hour from Thursday after noon when the meetings began until Sunday evening when they ended was one of helpfulness and inspiration,’ were the words with which the lead cr ended her address. After the meeting pledges were asked for among the members for systematic giving.
THEY WANT A LINE COACH
ATHLETIC BOARD AND “D” ASSOCIATION FAVORS AN ASSISTANT FOR BROWN.
ARE NOW LOOKING FOR A MAN
Two badly frightened girls and an innocent but deeply embarrassed old gentleman were the characters that figured in an unusual episode Tuesday evening. The two girls had been attending choir practice at Locust Street church and a few flnutes past nine started home alone. They had not gone far on their way down Locust ; Street when their attention was attracted by the somewhat mysterious | actions of a man just a short distance | in front of them. He was stamping his foot vigorously and shaking himself now and then as if siezed by some sort of convulsion. He had been tramping from the girls, and they thinking him drunk, had mounted the dormitory steps and waited for him to go on down the street. A little this side of Music Hall he turned around, and seeing the girls, walked quickly in their direction. Believing themselves about to be attacked the girls went at once and tarried not upon their going. In the dormitory two girls peeped fearfully out of one of the windows to see what had become of their assailant. Below on the pavement as if doing guard duty the man stood motion less. He seemed peaceable so when he got up the street the girls again started home, but no sooner had they appeared than the stranger made for them. Now thoroughly frightened they ran to the phone, and calling a friend who was entertaining a young gentleman of acknowledged strength and bravery, had them in the name of all that’s holy come to the rescue. They rushed back to the window just in time to see the stranger accost another girl. “I am sorry to have kept you waiting so long, papa,” the terrified girls heard her say sweetly as she took the old gentleman's arm. and they linked off down the street. The girl had been calling on friends at the dorm and her father had called for her, and not finding i her ready and unused to the custom 1 of calling at Woman's Hall had | tramped back and forth on the front sidewalk until she appeared.

ART CLUB MEETS
At botli the athletic board and D” men's meetings, the matter of
It is probable that the little a, ‘ distant football coach, especially
for the line, was discussed. The sentiment in both was strongly in favor of such an action providing a bt liable man can be secured. This would enable Coach Brown to devote all of his time to the back field and also provide some specific and regular coaching for our line. Judging ‘‘rom the Illinois game our defense is our weakest point and this is what a line coach would develop. It is verv probable that if a good man for the position can be found he will be se-
cured.
Work Done by the Members Criticis-
ed Last Evening.
The Arts and Crafts Club met in Art Hall last night. The work of the memberf came in for considerable criticism in a number of cases, but it was given and received in a spirit of helpfulness and mutual interest. At tire business meeting some definite plans were made for the entertainment that the club will give soon It is probable that the invitations
will lie out in a few days.

His Mistake.
“Bisbi p Potior was a wonderfully effective pi'eacher,” said a Brooklyn clergyman. ''His method was reserved and quiet. He always had himself well in baud. 1 once delivered a sermon before him. I was young and eu thusiustic at the time, a disciple of the methods of Talmage. I let myself go in that sermon. My voice shook the eliur li. My gestures shook the pulpit. At lum boon afterward I am ashamed to say that I fished for compliments. I leaned over the bishop and asked him in a low voice to give me some advice
on preaching.
“Dear knows what l expected him to reply, probably that I was beyond any advice from him. At any rate, what he did reply was this: •‘‘My dear young friend, never mistake in the pulpit perspiration for in-
spiration.’ ”

Why He Hurried Away. A supposedly confirmed old bachelor had lately fallen deeply In love and might be seen almost any day passing and repassiug the house of his ladylove. One day lie picked up a small thimble which had suddenly rolled down the steps. He stood awhile meditating on the beauty of its owner and looking at Hie thimble lovingly. Then he pressed it to his lips, saying, “Oh, that It were the fair cheek of the wearer!” As lie finished he looked upward, hoping* for a glimpse of her, but instead, from the second story window, a big negro wo-
man looked out.
“Boss,” she said, "please to toss up dat flmble <>f mine. I wants to go on sewing."—Ladles’ Home Journal.
