How would you like to get on ;i train, take ;i sleeper, change oar.in the station of a bis city and, in short, make a long journey of two days and one night all by your selves, without any big folks comfortably near lhat is, any of the folks you know?

Caotalncv in Fall The following letter was written by a wide-awake Junior in Granite City, 111., to Mrs. L. M. Tucker, of Richmond. We thought it so well written and full of interest ins I things that we are glad to print it I in our Junior Palladium: Granite City, III., July 9, 1920. Dear Aunty: Received your card yesterday and was glad you liked Sister's picture. I will send you one of my benign countenance when I graduate Christmas. I hate to write to you I write so badly it's like chicken tracts (Sis says as how that's slang, but I can't help it.) you always write so pretty. One of my cam pf ire sisters is quite an author and has brought honor to the camp. She wrote a story and sent it to " Wohelo," our campfire magazine in New York, and it was accepted. She says as how she will have to buy a new hat. Sure, and I am a-wishing I were she but I couldn't write a story on a bet. Our Campfire guardian took us to the Y. M. C. A. swimming, and it's ! great. Some day when I've had my i training, I'm going to be nurse there. i I can't hardly wait till school starts. I hope to make first team in basket ball next winter. I wish I could be captain, but my disposition don't suit my position. I've got a temper. You're not supposed to have that kind of possessions when you're captain. Mama said she would give me five dollars if I could keep my blessed temper for a week (I didn't mean blessed, it slipped). Here is a verse I heard: Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard To pot her poor husband a drink; As ishe drew niijll, the country went dry, And she got him a drink at the sink. I've read so much today that when I look up I see letters jumping around in front of me and on everything I do. I suppose I'm boring you to make you read all this nonsense so I will wind up. With love, ESTHER L. DAVIS. Personals 'iola Cain, of Indianapolis, was the ftiest of Miriam and Marguerite Burbanck, at their home in Reeveston riace during the past week. Alice Margaret Test, who lives on a farm southeast of Richmond, visited relatives here, Friday and Saturday. Running may or may not be a healthful exercise; it may depend on what is chasing you.

For peveral weeks, when the wea ther has been lavorable, the class has been outdoors, usually in the neighborhood of Mr. Brown's home, sketching. Before the term is ended, it is the plan of Mr. Brown to have some indoor work in his studio, doing some figure work with a live model and !;ome studies from still life.

Double Play by Hamilton Is Feature Of Tuesday s Game With a score of 17-12 in their favor, Baxter caried off the victory in the baseball game played Tuesday afternoon at the South Twenty-second street playgrounds, be tween teams of the Baxter and Wliitewater playgrounds.
