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.
Finally, a merry Christmas and a
happy New Year to all, and to all
goodl-night.

who were not present missed a rare
treat.
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.

The Night Before Christmas.
'T Se K-porerte.
It's peculiar how things will hap
peii. 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 ?
It filled my1) hieart with pide and
nob)le impjulses to see dlressedl in the
compos)0itIe garb of a Greek hopli te
and of Santa Claus,- w*ith here a
greave andl here a muffler of Evbite
fur, none other rush out but Johni
Illocy. 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.
