take the place of the three-period-

substitute-credits for the rt
relaxation classes are given to stud-
erits who are not deemed physically
fit to follow the regular courses
gymnasium work, dancing, or swi
ming, that make up the physical
educational reljuirements.
THE RANDOM SHOT
I shot an arrow into the air
fell in the distance, I know not
where, till a neighbor said it killed
his calf, and I had to pay him
and a half. I bought some poison
to slay some rats, and a neighbo]
swore it killed his cats; and rather
than argue across the fence, I paid
hiih four dollars and fifty cents.
One night I sat sailing a toy balloon,
and hoped it would soar till it reach
ed-the moon; but the candle fdl
the farmer’s straw, and he said I
must settle or go to law. And that
is the way with the random shot
it never hits the proper spot; and tlie
joke you spring that you think
smirt; may leave a wound in so
fellow’s heart.
“kin I ride with you to my home
“How far away is your home?”
“Eight blocks.”
“I’m parked farther than that.”

on their attention was directed to a
heathen graveyard with its obvious,
crude associations. Over each grave
the natives had built a thatched hut
in which was placed furniture, food
bedding, and even clothing as sup
plies for the departed in his future
life.
Mrs. Hamilton next turned her
attention to the language of the na
tives. It differs from the languages
of Europe and North America in
that the vocabulary is short, and it
is especially ill-suited as a means of
Bible-teaching, because there are no
abstract nouns. Love, for instance,
is a compound word meaning liter
ally “a pain the heart,” hope, “stand
ing at the end of the road and wait
ing for the things that are to come,”
and Mercy, an especially meaning
ful word, "God has a white heart.”
A trip thirty-five miles along the
beach on a half-starved horse was a
hardship in itself, but to make mat
ters worse, there was a fine, driving
ing rain which aggravated the mala
ria fever with which Mrs. Hamilton
was afflicted at the time, to a dan
gerous state. The missionary give
a realistic narrative which not only
brought out the hardships of travel
of this kind but showed its necessity
as well, and the speaker unconscious
ly convinced her audience of her
hardy spirit and genuine pluck by
the simple way in which she told of
the tortuous situation.
Her next picture of South Ameri
can life was a skillful reproduction
of the village in which she and her
husband have lived and taught for
some years. There is no store or
trading house; everything is carried
on at the mission church. In thi
unpretentious building Mr. Hamilton
preaches and she herself teaches
reading, writing, and a form of do
mestic science. Their activity does
n'ot stop at teaching and preaching,
however; the two of them have at
tempted to teach the boys to play
baseball and the girls to play basket
ball. Their efforts have finally been
successful and most gratifying. “The
two medicine days” which the Ham-
iltons schedule each week are
source of much benefit and actual
relief to the people.
Mrs. Hamilton closed with a
nificant reference to the missionary
challenge, “Go ye into all the world
and preach the Gospel to every
creature!”
TO WOMAN
(By a young gentleman of the 60’s)
Thou do’st thy smiles on all bestow
Who at the shrine of beauty bow*
Yet fairiest tempter of the earth
Thou’rt fickle as the smiles of mirth
Though fleet as vision of the mind
And changeful as the summer wind
Thy vows are bound with silken
bonds
And all thy thoughts are “tracked
in sand.”
Thy vows are made yet fade as soon
As the orb of the inconstant moon
Yet we are bound by heaven to
love thee
If 'twere not vain we would adore
thee
For who can resist the matchless
grace,
The beauty of thy form and face.
The tear drops in the darkling eye
Like star that gems the midnight
The nectar lip that blushing glows
And cheek that shames the reddest
The alabaster neck and brow—
But devil fake the muses now
For who can paint a woman’s tongue
A shame that it were made so long
It spoils my picture and my verse
For woman, ’tis thy greatest curse
But pardon me I do thee wrong
For pity only to thee does belong
When pain and sickness round us
And sorrow gathers o’er our head
Thou art as holy angel then
Sent to soothe and comfort men.
