cock." We have saved the best glass of nectar and ask everyone, students and faculty' to join in a toast. To "The Gamecock," the game little Bird, all the time without finances, sometimes without friends, ever de serving support both financial and literary. We make this toast: May 191I see you more prosperous than ever, a semi--weekly, newsy paper, on a firm financial basis, enjoying the support of the students and the aluinni.

The lives of several men w%,ere taken as examples of the great suc cess which follows the man who seeks diviie guidance in the selec tion of his life profession, and some whose lives were lives of unrest and turmoil because they had failed to imbibe those high and noble things wlhich go to make a strong character. Mr. IHounshell is a man of varied experiences. He was reared in Virginia and educated at Van derbilt Universi,ty; )eing a college mate of Dr. N\eatherford. Having finished school, he became a mis sionary to Korea. After spending some time in the foreign land, lie returned to America and spent one year as a traveling secretary for the Laymen's Movement. He thcn felt it his duty to go among the coll-ege boys and urge them to the nobler life. We will always welcone Mr. Iounshell to the campus, and the messages he gave will linger vith us through the coming years. University Strides to Front in igo.

It was the last Xenophon trans lation before the Christmas holidays, and naturally my phalanxes became confused with plum puddings. The two occupied my mind jointly until a late hour. \Vhen I went to sleep they ran into all sorts of kaleidoscope blendings. I seemed to see the river Euphra tes, which, if I am not mistaken, is some four plethra in breadth. On its surface, like watermelons oi a mill pond after a freshet, floated miyriads of plum puddings. Along the banks of the river were drawn up in martial array the forces of Cyrus. The ranks seemed in a tense state of excitement, and Clearchus and Cyrus rode beside each otlier in hurried conference. They looked often toward a white cloud of dust on the plaii, which, as it approached, assumied the aspect of a dense fog; here and there was the glitter of bronze armor. Tlie altar sacrifices were consist ently of evil onienl. Tlie plum puld ditgs found in the beasts had failed to rise. I became terrified as the hordes of hiarbarians approached wvith blood curdlintg cries. The Greek' merce naries on tile right flank. that is to say, those iear the rilver fell back inl disinmav, so that tile )htlnn puddinlgs fell in all directions from the points of their spears. 'I'he barbarians (rew near, almost Vithin lhov shot. The host of Cyrus was cotemplat ing a stampede, when, whatdo v,on suppose05 happened ?

Immediately hopping beCfore the frightened ranks and shaking his everty limb, lie 'shouted, "'Give 'em the sky rocket, fellers !" WVhereupon, the Greeks reinstated their plum10 p)uddings hurriedly on their spear p)oinlts, and cJapping on their helmets, putt to rout the bar bari-ans, so that the scythe-bearing chariots were rendleredl useless.
