NORMAL
Winter
The flrst of November comes witli its
chilly blast and gloomy sky. The frost
has turned the green of the maples into
gold, red, and .yellow, and the sharp
wind has blown them into some hidden
fence corner. There, covered with snow,
the.v will rest the winter through. The
goldenrod, which only a month ago was
proudl.v waving its head to the rh.vthm
of the autumn breezes, now gives up its
secret and scatters its seeds about. What
it retains are to become the food of the
hard.v sparrows and jays during tlic long
winter months when daintier morsels of
food are hard to obtain. The grass, the
marsh weeds, the clover, and all the
green forms, which in summer make the
earth so full of beauty and life, have
given up, willing to rest until spring
returns.
The birds, too, seem to think that their
work in tho Northland is completed and
now take flight to the far southern countries wliere they will feed and rear their
.young among the warm marshes and
highlands of a warmer zone.
The long, pleasant country roads of
summer are now deserted, and they
stretch away behind the hill or disappear into the grey sky. The lines of
the hills, which previously had been indented by the irregular surface of the
shady trees, are now hard and sharp.
Yes, like the instinctive nature of the
lower forms of life which tells them to
prepare for the northern winter, there
seems to be in the hearts of many hiiinaiis a desire, a vivid growing desire,
to also seek a fairer climate. They
seem unable to face the weather and
wintry blasts. They look on winter with
some feeling of dread and apprehension, as something to be met and endiii-ed. They are like soldiers in the
friiiit line of an opposing army. They
see the enemy come surging up the valley, and unless the.v meet it, oppose it,
and (li'stioy it, tlioy most necessarily
polish under its feet.
AN'hiit an oiitloiik to ha\"i' on wintei—

liare. It is, wlii>ii we contrast it with
suininer, fur at that season all things
are clothed in fine, summer dresses. The
birds, the trees, the wayside flowers, the
flelds, all have put on an outward show.
On Ibe other hand, in winter a new ap]iear;iiice is presented to us. All lies
ojieii to onr sight; tho view is unrestrict-

ed. There are new curves in the footpath that leads into the forest. We can
see the crevices iu the stone wall which
in summer were covered by the thick
niiiss of woodbine. AVe can see in the
hawthorn bush b.v the roadside what was
once the nest of the wood thrush. We
can look at the trees and feel tho
strength of their framework. We can
discover tho trail that was lost iu summer because of the heavy growth of underbrush. The creek no longer rambles
througii an archway of ferns and marsh
grass but is now entirely disclosed to
the eyes of the seeker. This is the season of the year iu which to analyze and
to examine.

Jerry Develops Class-Room
Methods
J e i r v ' s classruum methods were the
result uf exjierience. She htid reduced
the matter uf recitatiun to a system and
could foretell the da.v she would be
called ujiuii. Her tactics varied with
the subject and the instructor.
In Cliemistr.v, her instructor allowed
no najijiiug. •lorry discovered this early
in the .vear .-ind acted accordingly. As
long as she did nut understand the experiuieiit in hand she would watch him
with a face beaming with intelligence;
but when she did understand, and wished
to recite, she would let her eyes w.aiider dreamily to tho window. Upon being asked a question she would come
back tu realities with a start, a u d after
a moment's pondering, make a brilliant
recitation.
In French her tactics were exactly
ojiposite. The instructor called on those

Curin' Josiah
I don't know as I ever told you what
a time Josiah aud me had wdth them
calves. Well, if I hain't I will.
You know, Josiah ahvays had a hankeriii' after the farm, but I alius said as
how he wasn't cut out for farniiu'. But
that didn't make uo difference to Josiah.
All my wailin' and gnashiii' of teeth had
no more effect on that man t h a n if I'd
kept (juiot. So I decided that the best
wa.v tu cure him of secli a notion was
to let him cure himself.
It didn't take long. One day he just
naturall.v went out and bought himself
a farm. Then he started in right and
left biiyiu' all sorts of critters and niachiner.v to clutter it up.

the matter simple. J e r r y dropped her
pen, spilled pages from her note-book
and even sneezed in order not to catch
her eye at inconveiiieiit moments. The
rest of the class were not as clever, but
merely- lowered their e.yes as she looked
along the line—a method wdiich in Jerry's mind said as jdainly as words,
"Please don't call on me; I don't know."
Bnt with Professor Whitely it was
mure difiicult. Jerry had searched in
vain fur a clue. Some said that he
called on every seventh girl. Jerrj^ announced early in the course that she
had discovered the secret—that on Mondti.v he called on yellow-haired girls,
on Tuesda.v those with red hair, Wednesday and Thursday those with brown
hair, and on Friday those with black
hair. But this solution like many others fell down when put into actual practice.

TIMES
tliuugh he stuck out at the sides ;nid the
lid wouldn't go on nohow. But Josiah
lowed iis how that wouldn't matter, fur
he would drive nice and slow so he
wouldn't fall out. For my part I didn't
see how he could fall out, he fit in so
tight. He looked to me as if he htid
been poured in and left to cool.
We made short work of the other calf.
We tied his feet together and put him
in between the front and back seats.
Then Josiah sort of lowed as how I had
better sit iu the back aud put my feet
on his neck to sorta hold him down.
Well, everything went ;ilung fine until we got a piece down the road to one
of them mudholes I was a-telliii' you
about, and there the first thing we saw
was six cars a-standiu' waitin' to get
through. "Jly land, Josiah," says I, "if
all them folks has got stuck, you'd better not t r y it."
"If that aint just like a woman!"
Josiah he snorted. "D'ye think I'm goin' to be put off by a confounded pesky

Normal Loses to Indiana

The Normal five fully acknowledged

The local team wiis unable to solve

Indiana boys. Not only in offence, but
also in defense, Indiana disjilayed a
skill not matched by the home team.
So effective a barrier was set up by
Indiana on defense that only once did

a basket during the first half.

The Selection and Care of the Racket
Is Important
Any one intending to take uji tennis
seriouslj- should be careful about choosing a racket which will give him the best
iind longest service wdth the maxinium
eflieiency. The balance and weight of
the racket are of first importance. The
weight should range between 13V^ to
14^^ ounces, depending on the strength
of the player. In choosing a racket for
balance one should always try a few
strokes with it. One of the chief points
ia the Ciire of the racket is to keep it
away from iiU dampness. Bainpness will
cause the gut to break and the frame
to be pulled out of shape. If the racket
is laid aside for a long period of time,
such as over winter, it should be put
in a press. When playing one should
use as new and lively a set of balls as
possible and be careful to keep the net
at its proper height.
Types and Lay-Out of Courts
There are miiuy different kinds of
tenuis courts, such as griiss, asphalt,
cement, clay, wood, etc. The grass court
is generally conceded to be the best
court, especiall.y for tournament pla.v,
although it is harder to keep in condi
tion for playing. The clay or dirt court
is the most eonimon and if given some
attention now and then, will give very
Siitisfiictory service. The court should
be so situiited tluit the sun passes across
it ill line with the net, and not loiigitudinall.v. The backstoji netting should
be high aud wide euough to stop idl ordiuarj- balls which go out of the court.

It is early morning and our room is
dark and quiet. Nothing is moving b u t
the curtains at the window, as the winter air enters making the room colder
and colder. Suddenly there is a great
pounding and rumbling, followed by a
comfortable sizzling, and the room becomes a little warmer. When the lights
begin to flicker iind go on, iii,y roommate, Euth, turns over, troubled only
for a moment by the noise and light.
Deep silence iigain fills the room a n d
we two sleep sweetly on.
Belvy's bell which once seemed so
loud comes faintly now and still we
sleeji, not even stirring wdien our neighbors call loudly to each other. The t e n
minute bell rings and as the noise grows
greater in the hall, Euth opens one eye
and mutters, " A r e n t you going to get
up now. Peg?" And I merely groan and
turn over, while Euth lies in her bed,
blinking in the light, trying to gather
courage to put one foot out on the cold
floor.
Suddenl3' the big bell, the bell, begins
to ring. Out we both jump, sham t h e
window down, grab the handiest pieces
of clothing we have, pull on hose and
slipjiers, dash down to wash our faces,
and when the bell stops ringing we are
walking calml,v into the dining room,
looking forward to a broiikfast eaten in
leisure.
Thus our bus.v day begins.
