NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE. Don’t look for the flaws as you go through life; And even when you find them It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind, And look for the virtues behind them; For the cloudiest night has a hint of light Somewhere in the shadows hiding; It’s better by far to hunt for a star, Than the spots on the sun abiding. The current of life runs ever away To the bosom of God’s great ocean. Don’t set your force ’gainst the river’s course, And think to alter its motion; Don’t waste a curse on the universe— Remember it lived before you. Don’t butt at the storm with your puny form, But bend and let it go o’er you. The world will never adjust itself To suit your whims to the letter. Some things must go wrong your whole life long, And the sooner you know it the better; It is folly to fight with the Infinite, And go under at last in the wrestle. The wiser man shapes into God’s plan As water shapes into a vessel. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Welch-Ham Wedding.

Friday was examination day, which is always dreaded by the pupils, however hard they may have studied. About a week ago the Phi Kap pa society challenged the Kappa Mu for a public debate. The K. M.'s were delighted and began preparations at once. But Fri day the P. K. ’8 withdrew their challenge. This is the second time the Phi Kappa society has backed down on the debate ques tion, as the K. M.’s challenged them last fall. The Kappa Mu has always been victorious in the debates until last time when the P. K. ’s won. So evidently they want to let well enough alone and refuse without any reason whatever to debate. The K. M. ’s are considering having a public debate to show the people what they can do. The children in Miss McCord's room enjoyed an Easter egg hunt Friday afternoon.
