He went flat in the dirty hole. But the hand that had nailed the fly never touched the ground. He waded out, covered, with mud and soaked to the hide, two facts of which he seemed unaware, because he had caught the fly and had held it. , Some hoys would have started for the ball and stopped at ;the edge of the puddle. Some others would have lost it when they fell. Dick held on. That particular ball game soon will be a forgotten affair, or at the best only a memory. But we can picture Dick when he gets into the real game of life, as being classed among ' the star players. He will not look for the little unpleasant things but will hurl himself at the ball and hold on for dear life. lie may fall in the mud he may even have to be lishert out but when ho comes to top, in his hand von i "M'ya of Oregon's primeval t;ii ,1 1 I.

At the university, numerous fossils have been received : from many sections of the state nnd i field parties have added to the col- lections.
