Ready! Left! Left! Three! Four! Let's sing "Skittermerink," etc. These and similar shouts greet the ears of the passers-by as the Hiking Club swings past of a Saturday morning, all pepped up for a brisk tramp over hill and dale. It may be rough, it may be smooth, it may be mud, or it may be snow, but always it's heaps and heaps of fun as through briar patches, under barbed-wire fences and over rickety stiles, the hikers wend their way. The trying and sometimes serio-comic experience of losing or otherwise damaging one's attire does not dampen the sportsmanlike spirit of "There or bust," for a sport's a sport for a' that, and we gradually climb to the "Castle of Good Health." So what say you, girls? Three cheers for the Hiking Club Hip Hip Hooray

THE BATTLEFIELD#afeS|iNlNETEEN TWENTY-FIVE And so it was that on a rare day in May, the Httle city of Fredericlcsburg and thousands of visitors who made their pilgrimage from far and near paused for an hour and a day to pay homage to the spirit of Washington, who had known and loved the stately building standing on the widely sweeping lawn of "Kenmore," removed scarce a block from Meditation Rock, still keeping silent tryst with the gleaming day or the calm night; removed scarce a block from his mother's home, between whose great rows of box-woods he and the matchless Lafayette walked in the quiet of lavendar-scented garden,
—
while they talked of the Birth of a
Nation America. Here on this day of dedication matrons in high powdered coiffure and hooped skirts strolled with dignity; exquisite young girls in frocks of lacy flounces and garden hats made their courtesy; tiny children, clad in quaintly long dresses, bewitched all on whom they smiled; old-fashioned coaches rumbled through modernly paved streets; fine ladies and escorts in gorgeous riding habits and plumed hats sat restless mounts. Such was the local coloring on this lovely occasion which brought back to the heart, for
a
few hours, the tender grace of
a
day that
is
gone.
In these surroundings, of a truth, hover the intimate associations, the tender memories, the battles fought in silence of soul by a heart courageous. Who knows but that the patriot at eventide stood beneath the trees of his planting, and glimpsing the stars above keeping watch like sentinels,

Rainey day, a Young city guy named Lewis Tyner was seen riding up to the Hamlet in his big Chandler car. The car stopped at the village store and out he jumped, wearing several Coates to keep off the dampness. Into the store
he dashed, and while he was purchasing a box of Norris candy, he was conscious of the suspicious glances of the Hicks who were Jess Up from the country.
On coming out of the store, because of the dense Hayes caused by the rain, he got into a Willis-Knight instead of his own car. Immediately there arose such cries as "Hold that man Get the Car, Michael/" In a short time, however, everything was settled, and he was allowed to go on his Ruff way to the Garrison, just outside the village, where his brideto-be awaited him. !
Arriving there, he found the bridal party in a turmoil, for, unfortunately, his fiancee had torn her Lacey gown. But the best man, Daniel Boje, was ingenious, as all Frenchmen are, so he called to one of her attendants and said, "Go look under the lilac Bush, Nell, and bring me that package of Gauze I saw there today." Soon, through his cleverness, the dress was patched, and his heroine rode to the Chappell, where they became the same as one
On their honeymoon they chanced upon the big Clark Brothers Circus, as they were taking in everything that came their way, they tried this. In one of the big side shows they saw the great Jerrell Curry and his fiery steed. Wandering farther on, they saw a certain lady by the name of Moran giving Eppes-som salts to the monkeys, and to destroy the bad taste she was adding Wm-Berger cheese to the dose. They also took a thrilling ride on the Ferris wheel, and, looking down among the crowd, they recognized none other than the Misses Huey, Holman, Summy and Maakestad, who were seemingly having the time of their lives. and
