O.  E.  YATES  W I TH  'jO,  HOLLAND. 

As  I  cosily  sit  by  t he  glowing  g r a t e, 
A nd  m u se  upon  the  curious  fate 
T h at  tosses  t he  s h u t t le  of  h u m an  life. 
And  w e a v es  t he  woof  of  toil  a nd  strife, 
I  pictured  see  in  its  r u d dy  blaze 
Scenes  of  my  h a p py  childhood  d a y s. 
I  behold  a g a in  the  old  h o m e s t e ad 
A nd  the  w i n d i ng  p a t hs  I  u s ed  to  t r e a d,

F r om  out  the  o r c h a r d 's  fragrant  s n o w, 
Tossed  by  the  breezes  to  a nd  fro, 
Again  I  h e ar  t he  n o o n d ay  call, 
T he  horses  s t a mp  in  their  n a r r ow  stall, 
W h i le  faint  and  soft  I  catch  t he  strain 
Of  t he  r e a p e r 's  song

Westward  and  Skyward. 

T he  lecture  Friday  evening  by 
H o n.  H.  R.  Pattengill,  on  " W e s t 
in 
ward  and  Skyward  was  both 
T he 
structive 
audience  was  not  as  large  as  was 
hoped  for  but  those  who  were  there 
were  in  no  way  disappointed. 

entertaining. 

and 

M r.  Pattengill 

the  old-fashioned 

began  with  a 
humorous  description  of  the  start  on 
a  journey  westward,  and  his  strik 
ing  descriptions  and 
comparisons 
caused  much  hearty  laughter.  He 
described 
tourist 
sleeper  in  which  he  traveled,  and  in 
which  " t he  seats  were  like  those  in 
a  primitive  church,  where  the  fattest 
man  had  the  softest  seat  and  took  it 
with  him  when  he  left."  He  made 
several  remarks  about  the  snores  of 
his  fellow-travelers,  and  suggested 

that  Our  Governor  -in  his  railroad 
schemes  should  arrange  to  have  the 
i.  e.  the  basses, 
snores  assorted; 
tenors  and  other  parts  each  put  by 
itself  and  so  prevent  the  discord  of 
having  a  heavy  bass  across  the  aisle 
from  a  high  treble. 

After  describing  his partner,  whose 
snore  exceeded  that  of  all  the  others, 
he  skipped  over  the  journey  west 
ward  and  skyward  into  the  moun 
tains  and  told  of  the  grand  scenery 
of  the  Yellowstone-  P a r k;  the  hot 
springs,  geysers,  grand  canons,  and 
fine  streams;  and  here  he  told  what 
he  called  "fish  story  number  one." 
He  said  that  a  person  could  stand  at 
the  point  where  a  cold  stream  joined 
the  hot  springs,  catch 
another  from 
trout 
turn  around  and 
in  one  and 
cook  them  in  the  other. 

About  forty  pictures  were  shown 
with  the  stereopticon,  of  scenery  in 
and  around  Yellowstone  P a r k,  and 
they  were  explained  by  M r.  Patten 
gill  in  a  manner  very  acceptable  to 
the  audience. 

In  closing  he  compared  our  lives 
to  the  river  which  he  had  described, 
which  was  sometimes  clear,  some 
times  muddy,  but  always  came  out 
clear  at  the  end.

Sophomore-Freshman  Field  D a y. 

It  took  just  two  hours  and  twenty 
minutes,  last  Saturday  morning,  to 
decide  the  supremacy  of  the  sopho 
mores  over  the  freshmen  in  athletics. 
Perfect  weather  and  close  contests 
in  every  event  made  this  one  of 
the 
best  local  field  days  ever  held  here.

Wolf's  puzzling  delivery  and  abso 
lute  coolness  at  critical 
times,  and 
the  excellent  support  given  him  by 
every  member  of 
the  home  team, 
except  in  the  first  two  innings,  were 
the  features  of  Saturday's  game 
that  kept  down 
the  Normal  score. 
Hard  hitting  when  hits  were  needed

that  time  being  8  to  6  in  our  favor; 
but  then  the  visitors  lost  sight of  the 
ball,  and  while  they  were  reaching 
and  looking  for  it  our  boys  scored  6 
hits  and  8  runs.  This  cinched  the 
game,  but  we  were  not  yet  satisfied 
and  ran  in  3  more  in  the  eighth. 

Decker  made  two hits and  accepted 
eight  chances  without  error.  Norton 
accepted  nine  chances  and  Kennedy 
16.  T he  latter  is  credited  with  two 
errors  but 
they  were  on  difficult 
chances  and  his  work  at  other  times 
was  good  enough 
to  make  us  lose 
sight  of  the  faults.  Beebe  led  the 
batting  with  four  singles  and  a  two-
base  hit,  and  Murphy  drove  the  ball 
three 
down 
bases.  Wolf  not  only  kept  the  hits 
well  scattered  but  also 
fielded  his 
position  perfectly,  taking  six  chances 
without  error.

Development  of  Lear's  Passion  in 
to  Madness. 

E.  WINIFRED  CANNELL,  FERONIAN  SOCIETY. 

T he  nature  of  Lear  and  the  forces 
acting  upon  him  are  such  that  it  is 
little  or  no  surprise  that  we 
with 
are  led  to  the  final  centemplation  of 
the  utter  downfall  of  his  reason. 

A  man  accustomed  to  command, 
flattered  by  his  subjects  and  main 
tained  in  the  belief  that  his  slightest 
wish  should  be  law,  his  will  was  not 
one  to  brook  any  obstacle  or  hin 
drance  to  the  furtherance  of  his  de 
sires.  Also,  he  was  an  old  man, 
long 
wearied  by 
reign,  and  weakened  by 
frequent 
outbursts  of  passion.

Although 
realizing  his  condition  ( " C o me  not 
between  the  dragon  and  his  w r a t h ") 
this  giving  way  surely  lessens  his 
future  power  of  self-control.  His 
gentler  feelings  are  so  far  subordi 
nate  that  they  have  little  influence 
upon  his  ultimate  madness.  V e ry 
clearly,  he  has  a  great  deal  of  self-
command,  of  which  there  are  several 
instances,  but  throughout  the  play 
this  power  becomes  less  and  less  by 
repeated  outbursts  until  his  will 
snaps  completely  and  he  loses  his 
reason.

T he  final  disillusionment  proves 
too  much  for  him  in his  overwrought 
condition,  and 
is  one  of  the  final 
causes  of  his  madness.  He  wildly 
rushes  out  into  the  night,  "unbon-
neted,"  and  " t e a r i n g h is  white  hair," 
and  the  coming  of  the  storm  does 
not  drive  him  to  seek  shelter.  He 
seems  rather  to  court  the  fury  of  the 
elements, since  it  "  will  not  give  him 
things  would 
leave 
hurt  him  more,"  and  so  despairing 
is  he  when  he  says:  "A  poor,  infirm, 
weak  and  despised"  old  man.  He  is 
not,  however,  insane,  for  he  says: 
" My  wits  begin  to  turn,"  indicating 
that  he  realizes  his  condition. 
Just 
at 
this  point  he  seems  considerate 
for  the  fool,  and  greatly  softened  in 
his  mood. 

to  ponder  on 

This  is probably  the  result  of  phy 
sical  exhaustion,  caused  by  his  trip 
from  Goneril's 
to  Regan's,  and 
thence  to  Gloster's,  apparently  with 
out  food,  by  the  rude  shattering  of 
his  hopes  and  his  subsequent  ex 
posure  to  the  storm. 

To  Kent's  importunities  to  take 
shelter,  he  finally  yields,  and  when 
E d g ar  is  discovered,  seemingly  mad, 
Lear's  madness  is  absolute.  He  tries 
to  imitate  E d g ar  by  pulling  off  his 
clothes,  and,  assisted  by  Edgar's 
feigning,  goes  on 
t o.  the  wildest 
vagaries  and  fancies.  His  physical 
senses, however, report  to  him  things 
as  they  are;  as  when  he  perceives 

the  "fashion  of  Edgar's  garTnenTs." 
Soon  tired  nature  succumbs  to 
the 
strain  and  he  falls  asleep. 

While 

in  Dover  he  has  some 
glimmerings  of  reason,  as  when  he 
refuses  to  see  Cordelia.  He  seems 
to  remember 
that  his  treatment  of 
her  was  cruelly  unjust,  and  is  there 
fore  ashamed  to  meet  her.  His  fan 
tastic  ideas,  dressing  himself  with 
wild  flowers,  etc., show  that  they  are 
only  glimmerings,  however,  that  he 
is  still  mad. 

His  old  habit  of  command  he 
seems  not  to  have  forgotten  ( A ct 
I V,  Scene  6,  1 106 

). 

W h en  he  first  sees  Cordelia,  he 
does  not 
immediately  know  her; 
when  it  begins  to  dawn  upon  him, 
he  seems  to  douhj:  the  intelligence 
of  his  senses, and  feaVs being  laughed 
at.  He  remembers  his  treatment  of 
her  and  feels  that  he  deserves  ill  of 
her  in  return.  He 
is  at  this  time, 
neither  violent  nor  defiant,  but  en 
tirely  softened  and  submissive. 

Finally,  reconciled  with  Cordelia, 
his  mood  is  one  of  childlike  happi 
the  prospect  of 
ness  and  glee,  in 
her. 
companionship  with 
future 
H er  death,  almost  immediate,  brings 
despair  which  he  is  unable  to  sur 
vive,  and  he  dies  in  the  vain  and 
hopeless  attempt  to  restore  her.

'99. 

It  is  eminently  proper,  I  suppose, 
that the  new  term  should  be  prefaced 
by  a  few  words  of  advice  as  to  how 
one  should  conduct  himself  while  at 
College.  Of  course  at  the  close  of 
the  term,  each  one  takes  his  books 
home,  where  he  reviews  his  lessons 
for  the  past  twelve  weeks,  writes

To  be  a  good  M.  A.  C.  student, 
you  should  rise  early  enough  to  get 
down  to  breakfast  before  the  doors 
are  locked,  otherwise  some  difficulty 
might  be  experienced  in  obtaining  a 
meal.  After 
table  has  been 
reached,  if  you  want  people  to  think 
you  are  used  to  college  life,  a  few 
remarks  should  be  made  about  the 
close  relationship  which 
the  meat 
bears  to  sole  leather.  This  is a  very 
important  point,  and  must  never  be 
overlooked.
