0, godess fair, why sitst thou there so mute?Thine eyes are dim, thy cheeks, so fair, now pale,Thy locks unbound, thy girdle of sapphire gone,And e'en thy robe falls limply by thy sideWhich e'er before in proud majestic foldsDid flow. Thy lyre unstrung, gives sighs of woeWhen thus unheeded, unattended left.Uplift thine eyes, and gaze on Nature's grief,As vainly she does strive to hear thy notesThat for so long have ceased to give relief.Arise, shake off that melancholy moodAnd save thy sons from that fierce monster's clutch.'1'hat brute in garb of friendship true does comeAnd charms his hearers with a metal's ring.'Their hopes, their duties, all are cast aside;They seek but money, trade, or enterprise.But touch thy strings, then through the airl sweet EchoWill waft them on her pinions far and near.Thy lyre must thrice celestial strains give forth,Before the shadow of this curse is fled.Behold! Thine art, one of thy sons has waked.He starts, and with that graceful touch you teachHe strikes a chord in every hearer's heartThat must respond to his g9ld lyre's tones.And yet another so11'! Through foreign climesDoth calm, doth wake, and with a passion shakeHis audience, as countless as the stars.His music murmurs, whispers or doth wail;Or laughs, or sighs, with mighty anger shakes.Sweet Nature, in her joy, then sings and laughs.Her eyes like diamonds glitter, her graceful formNo longer like a wilted flower droopsBut bubbles over with great,joy and health.And e'en false Gain, with bated breath oft stop£To wipe a tear that stole there 'gainst his will.Rejoice, sweet Muse, thy efforts are repaid!No longer wilt thou in deep sorrow brood!Thy sons have waked, their souls with rapture teem.And ne'er again wilt thou have cause to sigh!They bring the worshipers of thine exalted art.Art thou not proud to have such sons as these?

Somewhere on the record of Troop Cof the --th Nebraska lies the report,"Trevalyn, John W., deserted April 3rd,1899, while at the front near .Balagos,Philippine Islands." This man was a per­sonal friend of mine and as I know thatthe above inscription in one respect doeshim great injustice, I write this narrativemerely as an explanation.

Jack Trevalyn, the only son of a wellknown English lord, was still in histeenth when his father selected for hima wife who possessed lands, money,. titlesand beauty. Young Trevalyn, who didnot love her, had resigned himself to hisfate as cheerfully as possible when, as ill­luck would have it, he chanced to meetMiss Helen Gifford of New York, whoentrapped his heart with her first smile.

Lord Trevalyn, seeing that the happyfuture he had prepared for Jack was ina fair way to disappear, without waitingto be interviewed, ordered that all atten­tions between them cease. Jack pleadedwith him, Helen pleaded with him, butthe. gray-haired old noble was as obdurateas an army mule. In the end youngTrevalyn lost his temper, was disownedand fled to America with Helen.

He enlisted in the --th Nebraska, towhile away the time until he should be­come of a marriageable age, but soonafter the regiment left for the Philip­pines. It was a sad parting, but Jackhad Helen's promise to wait, and thatgave him courage.

Trevalyn had enlisted for three years.For two years he fought and bled in theservice of Old Glory. He wrote lettersaddressed to Helen F. Gifford every timehe had an opportulllty and he managed

to have them as often as possible. Hisrecord bears nothing but honor up to thispoint. Scars he had many and often thedispatches bore his name for conspicuousbravery at the front.

One the first of April, 1899, a privateof the 3rd Ohio stationed at Manila,camegalloping along the hot, dusty roadcarrying a fat mail bag. With a grunthe cast the pouch on the ground beforethe Colonel's tent, with a sigh he dis~

mounted and stretched his legs and witha grin he entered a nearby tent, fromwhich soon after issued strange gurglingsounds.

The mail was distributed. Trevalynreceived a letter postmarked "NewYork" and be~ring a special deliverystamp. He hastily tore it open and readit. Suddenly he turned pale and stagger­ed slightly, but with a great effort hepulled himself together and walkedquickly ,:nto his tent, closing the flap he­hind him.

Next morning the first sergeant calledhis name in vain.. He had deserted dur­ing the night and has not reported to the--th Nebraska since~ but this newspa­per clipping which I quote from'the con- .tents of the letter that he received on the1st of April, 1899, may help to explainthe young Englishman's conduct:

----lOAn English gentleman, John·W. Trevalyn, today was joined in mar­riage with Miss Helen F. Gifford ofBrooklyn, New York. The happy coupleleft directly after the wedding for a longwedding tour in Europe. .It is rumored

Mrs. Corntossel of Cadunct county,Nebraska, the wife of a most influentialfarmer in that prosperous locality, hadjust rehlrnec1 from a visit to Omaha,where she had gone to see if the HighSchool in that city was good enough forher daughter, Letitia, to enter. On theway home from the station she told herdaughter all about 'the trip.

F. M. GREENLEAF, '03.

After explaining that he wuz to be myguide, we started off thro' the halls.

The furst thing I seed when we wuzin the hall wuz a figger made 0pt ofParis paste. It's head and arms wuzbroke off and I wondered what it wuzdoin' thar-why, I wouldn't have had itin our cornfield as a scare-crow.' My'scort spoke up and sez, sez he, "Thatis Venice Day, Medicine. "Medicine,"I interrupted, scornfully, "Medicine­did catnip tea and boneset hev thet de­morilizin' effect?" I shed think stickin'plaster wuz what that poor critter need­ed," and I looked at Mr. Smith in .mycoldest manner. I don't believe I couldhev fruz him any more ef I had tried.But he only put his hand up to hismouth and bowed his head an' coughedonct or twict an' got awful red in theface.

But I happened to look tIp just thenand I seeder lot er boxes standin' erlongthe walls, jest like my Jonathan built ferhis squab pigeons. I axed my 'scortwhat them wuz fur and he says them wuzlockers. And then he steps up and opensone of them pigeon coops and what doyou think I seed. Nothin' but threehooks, three lookin' glasses and erbout a

peck, more or less, of self-raisin' pancakeflour. Jes' to think of buildin' all themthings to stowaway lookin' glasses andself-raisin' flour in.

But Letitia, I-a (accidentally) tooka squint at myself in all three of themglasses to onct' and fer a minnit I wuzreal scart, coz the way them things wuzput. up, I could see the front, back an'side of my face all at the same time.Now, Letitia, you know your maw isn'tvain, but I kin jest tell yer those glassesmade me out jes' the finest lookin' presi­-dint our missionary meetin's ever had,and I don't wonder yer paw won't lookat nary 'nother woman. Ez I wuz sayin'there is nothin' small about yer maw,so I jes' offered the presidint six bits ferthem glasses, but he sez nit. "Hey," sez1. "Nit," sez he. "Don't yer sling anyof yer Greek at me," sez 1. "Come,now," sez he, "yer musn't git mad, costhem belong to the Board of Eddyca­shun.."

"Jes' then I spied some of ther school­marms comin' out ef one ef the rooms.Why, Letitia, you jes' out to see howthem teachers dress. It's no wonder theBoard air runnin' behind every year.Paris, South Omaha and Council Bluffsfashions are all run together until it isjest simply grand. I told one of themschool-marms ef she'd cOme out ter ourplace and shew me them fashions, I'd lether go ter singin' school with our hiredman.

Then my 'scort sez perh~ps I'd like to 'go up stairs. He had ter go up onestairs and I tother one. He sed thetwuz ther rule, but I suspicioned he didn'twant ter help me up the stairs. I knowI'm hefty and I don't deny it. He metme at the top, but I wuzso out ofbreath thet I had to sit down on the steps

till I caught it again. While I wuz sit­tin' thar, I seed lots of boys fightin' oversome green and yaller cheese cloth. Someof the boys sweared and kicked. My'scort sed they wuz seen-yers, but themboys what acted manly and respectablewuz jUllyers. An, now, Letitia, ef Ishol~ld let yer go thar, yer mustn't haveenny thing ter do with the seen-yers,but if they should wanter, the junyerscan come ter see yer.

An' now, Letitia, wot with climin' somany stairs, an' wot with gazin' at allthe StyliS)l teachers, an' wot with havin"these big-footed seenyers gawpin' at meas if they'd never seed a good lookin'woman afore, I kinder heCl a sorter faintfeelin' in my stommick. I realized thotI would have ter go ter one ef thesestylish hotels and put up four bits fer a,meal and I wuz jest a wishin' I was backin Padunct when I got er sniff er some­thing thet kinder revived me and jes'then I spied a young feller comin' downthe hall so I axed him what that smellmeant, an' he lifted his hat and sed thetwuz the lnnch room. "Gee, whiz!"thinks I, "do they have lunch rooms in aschool house?" I wuz thet taken backthet I fergot the holler feelin' in mystommick. So I jes' turned to this youngjunyer (I knowed he wuz a junyer coshe wuz so nice) an' in a beamin' sort erway axed him ef he would 'scort me tothe lurich room.

Past ages sought for perpetual motion,but it was too much for the minds whichexisted in the generations that have fal­lcn asleep. The great Newton tried it,but all machines finally settled down to.rest. The skillfully arranged magnetswould not perform the task of keepingup unending motion. It was left for thegloriou's nineteenth century to produce'the wonder, which' dropped down as un­sought as a wandering comet. Whyshould a people who have realized someof the wildest dreams of Jules Verne nothave perpetual motion in their midst?Indeed it confronts one on all occasions,and the difficult question which arises is,where maya spot be found into whichthis movement has not penetrated?

What is this untiring action? Thecattle sometimes cease the swing of theunder jaw, but the full-fledged Americangum-chewer-never. He, she, it, whichis the proper pronoun? Suppose we treatthe being as a machine, and proceed tosay that it has become omnipresent andhence rises before one at all times and inall places. The machines are not entirelynoiseless, being accompanied by a cer-

taill" indiscribable rustling sound. Someare more noisy than others. These op~r­

ate by the constant opening and closingof a certain cavern, so to speak, whichleads into the interior of the machine.The quiet kind operate withOllt openingthis cavity, and these latter form themore pleasing spectacle, if any of themmay be said to be pleasing.

Some business houses have adoptedthese machines' and placed them behindthe counter to attend to the wants of cus­tomers. You step to the counter, makeyour request 'known to the perpetualmo­tion apparatus which, confronts you, anda sound is thrown back which seems to 'say in almost inarticulate sounds:"Chew! Chew! Chew with care­Chew in the presence of the customer."

Customers are not partial to any kindof perpetual motion machine, but arebecoming accustomed to it and are learn­ing how it is to be treated.

Not long since during a lecture deliv­ered by a learned professor, in them'idst of well-arranged .selitences andlogical arguments, a rustling sound washeard at the left. It proved to be com-

ing from one of these open-cavity gum­chewers. Why the machine was thereno one knows, but the question of per-petual rilOtion was solved. .

How the sight might have delightedthe eyes of Newton!

In the opera house, a few eveningsago,'" one of these same gum-chewersmoved down the aisle in the form of anusher. The perpetual swing kept timewith the footsteps and seemed to say,

"Sweet Yucatan!I chew all I can.Chew! Chew! Chew! I declare;Chew right here in the theatre."

Like the horse-car poetry, the gum­chewing carri~severythingbefore it, andthe people were surprised to find them­selves unconsciously hobbing down theaisle in the measured time of the swing­'ing jaw in advance.

As has been said, the gum-chewer iseverywhere-upon the public highway,within the private dwelling-; even thechurch doors are not closed against thevibrating- jaw, nor have, the massivedoors of the new High School buildingbeen able to close so quicl<ly as to ex~

clude this ever moving jaw. Variousclasses have been invaded and even theKing's English has suffered. Thequestion has been thought of so seriousa nature as to be considered in a meet-

Are we right in interfering with thisform of tireless energy? We denouncethis form of perpetual motion becausewe are not wise enough to see its greatvalue. Steam was before man's eyesmany ages and no one knew its worth;electricity flashed in the clouds and noman looked upon it save with fear.

Now if some fertile brain would onlyinvent a delicate attachment by whichthe swinging jaw' could be made to movemachinery, what a blessing might be con­ferred upon humanity. There are ma­chines not run by steam and a delicatetouch may set. inniotion heavy machin­ery. Why may it not be so arrangedthat the tireless jaw may perform use­ful labor?

Perpetual motion is before us, but weknow not how to use it. The Temple ofFame has a seat of honor waiting for theone who will demonst,rate to the presentage how this vast amount of waste forcemay be utilized. A STUDENT.

CLIO SOCIETY.The Clio Society gave a program Jan­

uary 30, and although the historicaltopics discussed were not as interestingas those of some of the other programsgiv~n by this society, it was probablydue to the fact that some periods of his­tory are not as interesting as others. Itis a new society, but has a very promis­ing future.

A number of the students who takepart in the programs are not l~eard far­ther back than the middle of the room:The room is very large and it takes afull, strong voice to travel the length ofit. ' Those sitting in the rear shoitld hearjust as much of the program as the onessitti'ng ~n the front seats. It would bewell if those who take part in the pro­grams remember this.

very good. The opening number, an in­instrumental solo by :Miss Strawn, wasvery enjoyable. The "Story of theOpera" was beautifully written and wellread by Miss Clark. The violin solo by:Miss Cleve was one of the finest numbersof the afternoon. Miss Cleve has a greatdeal of talent and from present indica­tions has a brilliant future before her.'The "Motives and Explanations of theOpera," by Miss Rhoades and Miss Ogle,was something out of the ordinary andwas well ·executed.

The enthusiasm and patriotism of theHigh School was certainly shown by thenumber of pupils who attended the ben­efit for the boys' encampment. All ofthe music was well rendered and the ap­propriate song, "Don't Mind Me," sungby Mr. MacDiarmid, was fully appre­ciated.

Another excellent program was givenby the Browning Society. Although aFreshman Society, it promises to surpassany other society in the -High School.The reading from "Mrs. Wiggs of theCabbage Patch" was very ·pleasant. Thesecond edition of "The Oracle" was readand as it is something out of the orcli­nary it. was very acceptable. They havean originality and "freshness" which agreat many. of the other programs lack.

The last debate between the O..H. S.and the L. H. S. at the Cit,y Hall wasparticularly interesting as it decided thestate championship.

The delivery of the Omaha boys wasexcellent, but each one made the mistakeof repeating the points made by his col­leagues instead of spending his .time inbringing .out the new points in his ownargument. Their arguments also seem­ed to be committed to memory. It wasa praiseworthy debate, however, and oneof which we may well be proud.
