A writer in the Saturday evening Call Irelates a touching episode in every day life as follows: Entering the office of a well-kno, wn merchant, I lifted my eyes and found payself confronted with the brightest and most thrilling temperance lecture X ever steered myself against in the whole course of my life. It was an inscription marked with a pen on the pack of a postal card nailed to the desk. The inscription read as follows: fWhich? Wife or whisky? The babes or the bottles? Home or hell?" jWhere did you get that and what did you nail it there for?" I asked the me'rehant. "I wrote that myself and nailed it up there," was his reply, "and I will tell you the story of that card. Some time ago I found myself falling into a drinking habit. I would run out once ih awhile with a visiting customer, or at the invitation of a traveling man or on every slight offered. I soon found that my business, faculties were becoming dulled, that my stomach was continually but of sorts, my appetite failing, and a constant craving for alcoholic stimulants becoming dominant, ij saw tears In the eyes of my wife, bonder depicted on the faces of the children, and then I took a long look ahead. One day I sat down at this desk half unconsciously wrote the inscription on ihat card. On looking at it upon its completion, its awful revela-tio- n burst Upon me like a flash.

The gymnasium hall is large and well fitted up, and in an adjoining room there is a swimming bath, 43 feet long by 24 feet wide, where the physical director gives lessonsj in swimming to any who- wish to learn. In the theater, above the exercise room, there is a sufficient space for indoor tennis .and basket ball. But, of course, the new Athletic Association has in view systematic training in outdoor exercise more than general gymnastics, and in these lines the girls have done very good work, considering the recent date of their inter est in the matter. In the 100 yard dash on field day, Miss Wilkinson of '98 won the first heat in 15 seconds, while Miss Vassar 's time for the final heat, in which she won, was 16 seconds.
