Ode to the Monmouth Normal
Farewell to our school and college yells,
Farewell to the ones we love so web,
Farewell to the ones that are leaving too,
To be scattered around all Oregon thru.
Farewell to the dear old Normal School
That has struggled so hard to exist,
But without the support of the mother
state,
Has at last been forced to give up its
breath.
It is with deep regret that we say fare
Wl 11,
To the dear old place we love so well,
For here we found hearts that are ten
der and true,
As well as the false that have given us
pain.
Again we must say a fond farewell
To the place we have loved so well,
Rut we'll not forcrot the old Normal yet,
'Though we must say our last farewell.

Luck In Golf.
Luck, as will readily be understood.
Is a factor that enters very largely
Into coif. Perhaps the most notable
case on rw-ord is that ot Jamie An
derson when competing for the cham-
nloushln at Prestwick lu IS. 8. He baa
iut teed his ball for the seventeenth
drive when a little girl staudlug
anions the pectators remarked that
he had unconsciously placed It Just in
front of the proper line. Although
nl)dv else had noticed the fact, tills
proved u examination by the referee
to be correct. Thereupon Anderson
totO his ball again in a fresh position
well lHhlml the line and made a drive
which lauded him In the hole and
eventually enabled him to win the
match, if, however, he had played It
from the original spot he would have
been penalized a stroke and have lost
the championship. Clearly, then, luck
on the links is something to be taken
Into consideration whatever nonbeliev
crs may say to the contrary' Bailey's
Magazine.
What He Was Allowed to Do.
A Prestirterlan delegate who was
accustomed to being sent to denomina
tional conventions to extend fraternal
greetings was delegated to the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
Rising to speak, he said It was al
ways an Interesting study to him to
note the different receptions accorded
him at the conventions of the various
denominations.
"Whenever I attend a convention of
the Enlscopnl church, for example,
said he. "I find I can do anything I
like except preach In the pulpit. When
I go before the P.aptlst church I am
accorded every privilege except that
of taklnsr communion. Anil, be saw
with a smile, "wheu I appear among
the Methodists I notice I am allowed
every privilege except taking the col
lection!" Ladies' Home Journal.
