A GLIMPSE OF CHILDHOOD.

stood bs.ek from the rond- tlmt old weatherbeaten hoyse. I waa ools " woo girl when I
went there to live with my grandfather and gmml·
mother, who were almos~ as westher-bcat('n lUI the
house ltaelf. Nea r by w!LI!Ia great rh·er that went
rushing and {umbliog along over the stones a nd
finally weot-1 ne\·er could Imagine where. [ used
to lo;e to sit on the great grsy rocks and watch the
water or gather the tiny, white shells on the shore.
My gnndmother, as I remember her. was a great
big woman who alyttl!:fB wore t~o aprons. She had
a funny way of watching me a.s I aat on the porch
surrounded by 8owen. moss. atones and bugs.'
Sometlaies ,.;.;, would wring her "bands and· say,
" Only the good Lord' ,knows what will beeome of
you. Why when 1 wu yotu-age I knew how to sew
and could do 'rithmet.lc in my hea.J."
"Do you auppose I spent my time with auch frvh
as you' ve go' there! Do you suppose I had nothtng
to do but watch ~e 'wigglen' In the rain·bsrrell
But children have cba~ged for .the WOAD since my
day." and abe would algb and walk slowly away.
"Let the lass alane, Sarlo, she'll turn out all
right, •• and the dear old Scotch grandfather would
press a peppermint Into my chubby hand. Some.
times he used t.o take me out In the field with him
and I rau along behind him In the freih turped fur·
row~ and he tOld me stories of Scotland. of h\1
fflothcr nnd of the bonny blue· bell and heather.
"Diona make your hands al!.d feet do all your
work, IR&~~ie, make your brain do some," be u&ed to
say In his quaint way. Every eveulng after hil wOrk ,
Was done, he ti&ed to glve'n1e his old corn-cob pipe •
and hit lantern. and send me into the cellAr··to fill '
his Pipe with the 1.0bact:o rrom the ·utue re<hln bOx
in the corner.
· The tobacco Willi rich-looking atuft' and It baod ' to' •
smell good abdooe nlght·I took a· tfny, woo bit on
the end of my tongue brit It tasted · horrid>a.od t't
stung and iiung an(l I Dever wanted any more' btit I
wu glad grandpa liked it. I Ulled to woni:ler'tbo~gb,
It it didn't stlng him or' if be liked It because It did
stiogao.
Not long a fterwards I waa takeli sick and bad to
go home. While I was gone, the old grandfather
and grandmother went away to be gone forenr;
the little weather -beaten bouse waa tom down, but
that great Impatient river still hurries along.

THE OLD MAN OF THE GLEN.
Away up at the head uf the \'alley where tho
mighty river of the pht.ius is a tiny rh·ulet, lin:d au
old man. His little shanty wns tucked up under the
edge of the bluff which rose sheer a~we i ~ t wo buu·

They' re all of 'ern city bred,

The fourth number of our lecture course Is now a
thing of the past. We have 11till two numbers to
look forward to, and we may well cong"}tulate our·
selves that they are of aucb unqueation6d excelleoce.
Leland Powera Ia a stranger t.o ua, but o ur (.'()mmlt·

had a committee. Kennan Is no stranger. and many
of ua will enjoy him for the third time.
The athletic enthusiasm of the school is bei ng well
kept up by the basket ball people. The game Is
deservedly popular and benefits more atudent5 than
football ·does, because more take part In it. The
oratorical interests. begun some time ,ago by the pre·
1\mlnary debates nod continued In the oratorical
contest,•are growlnp: !ltronger as time passes, and
the state contest, the de bates, and the declamatory
contest are all receiving attention . Let the good
work go on .
Before this number of the Pointer U! before Its
readers one of our regular annual mlleston~ will
have been passed. The oratorical contest will have
been held and the orator, who will represent us in
the state contest. selected. We feel Ullnred that
whoever ia chosen, we will send away a contestan t
who will be In no way in f~ri or t.o t.o our represent&·
tives of past years. And we have many reaaonM for
thinking that the prospects fo r a Stevens "Polot vic·
tory were never brighter. We look forward to an·
other ovation for a winner of tbeat.ateaod loter-•tatl'
contests.
