Berlin has probably one of the most peculiar ornaments for a reading room that has ever been seen in a similar position in a civilized country. This is a gravestone which stands, large and massive, in one corner of a small room. It is not only a gravestone, but is in its legitimate position at the head of a grave. The history of its location in the house is Interesting. It was not put up in the house, but the house was built around the stone. Its original position was in the burial grounds in the churchyard at St. Hedwig's. How Could He Help Itt He-Do you trunk marriages are made in heaven? She I don't know.

It was the first Alumni game ever played ' at O. A.' C, and it called out a lively interest. .Scores of raople went oat to see tbe old boys give exhibition of how the cham pioDShip of the Northwest coast was won; in 1897 and they were well repaid for their trouble. bave"Pap Hayseed, Mc Allister, tbe old center, Stimpson and Kruse, quarter, all the mem bers of the old team were on the field. To ti l the places of the miss ing veterans, there were other old mttn galore, ,Fred , Edward9,J98 playing at quarter, 'Nash, -03 - at eod and Harley, Hall '98 .at. full baek. Tbe game resulted in a score f 11 to 0 against the veterans. lhough a Dractice game, the play was characterized by an earnestness and effort that made it highly in teresting, the old men bad a rep utation to sustain, the new ones, one to gain. It would, have been dis heartening for the latter to have sustained a defeat. The old 'men J had but a single - signal - practice, and were wholly i out of training. The new ones were working with: new uiays ana-- uuaer a new -system. of coaching. Neither team was at its best by a long, shot, jet with a fierce surr blazing down fen a field; almost as hard as macadam, the two lines of big men faced each oth er for the scrimmage, and went at the work with a spirit that won one championship and that ought to win aaotaer. ; - In the beginning, 'the old boys, tor a lew piaye, surprised the new ones with good steady gains. Thev received the kickoff and worked off- twenty yards or more . before they were forced to punt. They used the formations in vogue in their time, and were not subjected to the pen alties incident to the new rules Tbey played good strong ball, but all acknowledged : afterward that they speed and strength of the new men were of consequential value in tbe contests that are shortly to be ushered in on the gridiron. The ball chacged hands frequentlv be fore there was a touchdown, tbe new men often losing by fumblicg and the old ones punting to save yardage. At last Rose made balk in passing tbe ball, and sain ing the oval himself dashed through tbe center of the opposing line and ran sixty yards for a touchdown-.: It wis ruled out though as a for- wad pass and the new men penal ize! 15 yards. After that, the old m"! 's punt was blocked, and grab bin up,the ball, Root lit out for a fo- y yard run and the firot and on ly touchdown of the half. In the 8eo" d half, Williams, whose play io this year promises to be ageret,-siv-, and if it is, will make him one of the star men of the coast, got away for a 20 yard ran and the last touchdown of the game. After the game there was a big reception to the old warriors in the armory. It was attended by bun dreds of students and scores of down town people, young and old. Frank .Edwards, manager of the old team, responded to the subject. "The championship team ot 1897,? and Coach Steckle did a similar stunt on the topic, "The. team of 1904." Prof. Berchtold spoke to the subject, "The Alumni," and af ter, that there was conversation, music and a general good time. In cidental to the programme was s piano solo and encore by Prof. Tail land'er and a vqcal solo and encore by Miss Spangler. Captain Gaii't, of the veterans, made a brief ad ress, expressing great satisfaction at the treatment accorded his met, and declaring that they would all be back next year to give the new men another Ijveiy practice. i;t looked good to everybody to see Bodine, Walters, Thurston, Elgin, McBnde, drawn out in line of bat tle, with Holgate, Scoggins, Ed wards and John Gault for back, Us well -as to- see Hall. t Osburn. Hud- dleston, Baxton,; Nash, Hamilton, Tharp; and. the ;many others wjhj came to make toe day and the Oc casion successful, and the returning event of next year c will " be looked forward to with' extreme-interest;, by students and citizens alike.

': Tbe Only Preparations General Tayw lor Made For Defeat. Santa Anna was the greatest military leader the Mexicans have ever known. Santa Anna with 25,000 veterans went to the batUe ot Buena Vista with the avowed purpose of exterminating the entire army of the United States, and there was no doubt in the mind of Santa 'Anna that this great feat could be ; accomplished with comparative ease. Oeneral Taylor, with, his 5,000 men, prepared for the unequal contest, and not only defended himself success fully, but won a substantial victory from ' his aggressive antagonists and drove them from the battlefield of Buena Vista. -- . ; Some time after the battle was fought and the Mexican war concluded Gen eral aylor was criticised for having made no -preparations for the retreat of his army -in the event of defeat. General - Taylor promptly replied: , "I made every preparation necessary, for the battle of Buena Vista. I wrote my will, and so did nearly every man in my army. "If we had not won that battle, we would have needed no lines of retreat. It was, from our stand point, victory or annihilation. The only preparation necessary for the contin gency of defeat at Buena Vista was that we should write eur wills." :. g3 jz?- -sggi! (EMERY'S 'ART-STUDIO 2 - -South Main St., Corvallis, Ore. .
