of his being as it can be broadened and matured by contact with his fellows. Enough variety in his life to prevent stagnation; enough purpose and motive to bar ennui, and every inducement for the finest and best kind of social life. I do not think that a more ideal existence than this could be ordered in Utopia, and certainly it is to be found in no other condition of life on this sorrow-darkened planet.

Compare it with the life into which each one of us must so soon step out. Four hours a day and a third of the year holiday is contrasted with eight or ten hours of real out-and-out work, and two weeks out of harness in the Summer. Then the men with whom you are in contact all day will not be picked and chosen by your autocratic self. They will be next you, congenial or not, by force of circumstances, and there is no ministering to affinity of mind.

Each one of us knows all these things, but there is a tendency to lose sight of them, and often a trifling unpleasantness will be magnified through forgetfulness of the greatness of our gift. So Saint Elihu has willed to preach a little, and try to impress the fact that a college man has more than most men to be thankful for. Here is a bit of verse from an

exchange.

WE

E have everything to furnish your room comfortably. Our Prices are low.

THE AMERICAN PARTRIDGE.

Neglected minstrel of the single song,

Piping at twilight through the russet fields,
Thy two soft silver notes, one short one long,

Rich with the careless joy that nature yields,

Rise from the stubble round the well stocked fields,
Far from the chattering flock or warbling throng:
Bob White !

American! All hail my countryman !

Thy treble, sweet or shrill, delights my ear;
A song of freedom ere our race began,

A challenger of conquest loud and clear
Bespeaking nature pure as God's first plan,
And pride and peace, and quiet ever dear:
Bob White!

Indigestion

Horsford's Acid Phosphate

Is the most effective and agreeable remedy in existence for preventing indigestion, and relieving those diseases arising from a disordered stomach.

Dr. W. W. Gardner, Springfield, Mass., says: "I value it as an excellent preventative of indigestion, and a pleasant acidulated drink when properly diluted with water, and sweetened."
