Elisabeth Ann Pool White was
born June 5 ,1 8 8 7 . Her father
was Wm. Pool, son of John
P ool, head of Richmond, Indi­

Her
mother was Rebecca HarVey
daughter o f Wm. Harvey. Her
father died when she was four
years ok). She was educated in
Bariham College, then Friends
Boarding School, o f which her
mother, then Rebecca Clawson
was one o f the directors.
In 1868 she was married to
Nathan White, of Blue River, in
the meeting house at Richmond
they being one of three couples
married at the same time. In the
spring o f 1866 the family itooved
to Kansas, near Lawrence, where
Nathan White suffered a sun­
stroke the follow ing summer.

complishes nothing and is assin-
ine. Personally, I hope the state
goes dry so we will have no need
o f a drunkards' home. If it
stays wet we should see that a
drunkards’ home pa established,
supported entirely by the liquor
traffic. Our . state, through
legislation, has adopted a policy
which proclaims to the world
that each industry should take
care of its own killed and
maimed. The owner of the saw­
mill, the brick yard, the powder
factory, all contribute a stated
amount in order that the families
of those killed or injured while in
their employ should be properly
taken care of. Can you tell me
any good reason why this pro­
vision o f the law should not be
extended tó the liquor business?
If it is a legitimate business those
engaged in it should be proud to
maintain a home which would
be a monument to their handi­
work. Here all old battle-scar­
red or bottle-scarred veterans
could spend their last days re­
counting their fights w ith John
Barleycorn. They would not
feel that they were supported by
the bounty o f the state, for they
would realize that the industry
that made them helpless and
hopeless wrecks was supporting
them and* paying the bills.
she entered the school-room
again from sheer love o f teach­
ing. More than 2.000 children
in Portland have been under -her
care. She took a keen interest
in the well being o f each child
and young person she met. All
tender, helpless, clinging things
appealed to her heart. She never
allowed herself to brood over
sorrow , but went to help some
one else. Throughout her life
and to its close she kept in touch
with public affairs. Sbe was an
ideal mother. Her Sabbath
afternoons were given over to
her children clustered about her
knees while she read them Bible
stories from “ Streaks o f Light”
and “ Star of Bethlehem.” As
they grew older their jo y s and
sorrow s were hcr’s.

brated their golden wedding in

G. O. Bassett, the men. T o the
jo y o f the contestants the first
ones to be seated were the lead­
ers, and the word was “ shep­
herd.” The temperature was too
high for W. T. Anderson and
“ fahrenheit” proved his undoing.
One o f the college boys, evident­
ly studying stenography, spelled
geography with a “ J” and
promptly sat dow n. An “ ava­
lanche” struck the club and dis­
posed o f tw o o f their number.
Near the close o f the match F.
A. Morris, L. F. Hall and Bert
Miller were left. Mr. Hall, realiz­
ing the fact that “ Gazetteer” had
an unusual number of e’s, added
one for good measure and was
lost. Bert was to o prodigal
with the letter “ c” and recom­
mend was too many for him.
Francis says he became conscious
of his danger, so omitted the “ s”
in the word and the match was
over, leaving Mrs. Coulson, Mrs.
Hurleston, Mrs. Bassett and An­
na Fogle still standing. This
would seem to mean that if the
men wish to defeat the women
they must either play ball or
drive nails.
It is reported that there is be­
ing arranged a return match, so,
if any o f the members o f the club
are seen to consult a small book
surreptitiously, and their lips are
moving meanwhile, it may be
understood that they are prepar­
ing to “ d o or die” in the effort
to spell down some one.
Taken altogether the affair
was a splendid success. Every­
one seemed to enjoy “ playing”
once more; everyone was in the
best of spirits and most o f those
present hope the return match
will materialize soon. A. M. F.

__________________
formed a committee with the
presidents of the literary societies
and o f the student body to ar­
range for securing the funds
necessary for the project. Some
such organisation was rendered
necessary by the fact that there
is no regular college fund which
cpn be used for such purposes.
It is believed that piano sales­
men will feel it to their interest
to make a special effort in the-
w ay o f reasonable terms because
o f the advertisement which w ill
be given the instrument pur­
chased, considering that, by all
odds, the greater part o f New-
berg’s lectures and entertain­
ments are held in this hall. T he
stud sots and faculty are taking
hold o f the matter with great
energy. A series o f popular en­
tertainments is already planned1
at a very popular price, tern
cents, and the first will be given
in W ood-M ar Hall on F riday.
October 23, at eight o ’clock is»
the evening. This will be fol­
lowed by others o f a similar kind
throughout the season, all at the
same nominal price o f ten cents.
It is believed that at this price
practically every one can afford
to have an occasional pleasant
evening by attending and to help
a worthy cause.
The first o f these program s
will be given in Indian costume.
There will be songs by lovely
dusky Indian maids, and by
some not so dusky. The terrible
tale o f the chattering sqnaw w ill
be told, and there is much food
for thought in her fate, horrible
though it may be. You w ill
hear a real Indian dance played
and many other interesting
things. The program will be
concluded with a charade o f In­
dian character and to the first
person in the audience who
guesses the correct solution will
be given tw o complimentary-
tickets to the second concert o f
the series. Remember the date—
