The duties of a student body secretary do not differ to any extent from the duties of the secretary of any society or organization. Fol-lowing Is as nearly as I can tell you tier the duties of a secretary: The secretary is the recording officer of the assembly and the eus Wian of its records, exeept such as are spe-cifically assigned to others, as the treasurer's books. In addition to keeping the records of the society and the minutes of the meetings, i' is the duty of the secretary to keep a register or roll of its members and to call the rol when required; to notify officers, eommitteet SWEETHEART. Mink Creek, Ma. An Indian legend of how the Water or Pond Lily become known and named, ap-peared in your paper a few weeks ago. I will sprint it here for you : The Indians believed that the stars were the tomes of those who had walked across the tarry Bridge of Souls, and one night they aw a star leave the sky and come half way oward the earth. That night a young brave rcamrd that the star came and told him to k his wise men what shape she might tako nat she could dwell with the red people, whom he lo"H, forever. The "vise men said for her 11 choose for herself. So at first she came to Ive In the heart of a white ros.e on the moun-ai- n side, but she was very lonely, so she next 00k up her dwelling In a prairie flower, but reat herds of buffalo went thundering by and he was frightened. Co she again set forth a find a resting place, and as she floated over a great, blue lake, she saw her shadow in tho water, and sank down to rest on its cool bosom. The next morning the lake was covered with srreat, white, shining flowers, with golden hearts. The Indians said the White Star had called her sisters to live among thmi. They called them 'Wahbegwannee, the White Star Flowers." The following is an Interesting little history of the Forget-me-no- t: It Is related that a young couple, on the evo of their marriage, were walking along the banks of a river snd saw a elust-- r of Forget-'le-n- nt floating on the stream. The bride-to-- admired the beauty of the flower and lamented ti destiny. The lover plunged Into the water o rescue It but having caught it, found himjelf sinking. He made a final effort and hrew it at the feet of his as he did so, "fnrg-t-me-n- ot P Sines thst event this flower has been made emblemat-ical of the sentiment fnrgt-me-n- How would the "White Star Swarm" be for a name, emblematic of purity, and the Pond Lily as the symbol. Or the Indian name "O wa baa," meaning bluebird and have to bluebird as your symbol. Dear Miss Brooks, I am a read r of your Interesting corner, ami leelng how many others you have helped, I now enter your corner to ask for helo.

Th principal tributaries of this river ar th Sheyenn and Pembina Dear Misa Brooks; I have read yoar corner in th paper every week for long time and hav gotten some eery good advice, from it. This Is th first time 1 have written to yoa but bop yoa will not be too busy to kelp m with some euertions that are bothering tn. (1) When a boy and girl ar walking together should th boy take th girl's arm or should th girl take th boy's? (t) What ar th 1m test dance steps ?! (8) There Is certain boy in our town who tnsiiita ea kissing me ea the forehead while ke is stinting with me. My girl friends say he does not annoy them with snch actions. I have asked him to discontinue this and hav evea refused to dance with hha several times, but ke always asks me until I an ashamed to two him down any more and I de not like to tura kira down anyway as h is a very good dancer. What would you suggest? (4) This summer while I wss visiting friends m another town I met a very nice boy who fell desper-ately In love with m.

He got drunk and had a light with his best friend and is drinking and fiifhtlng all the time now and his folks cannot do a thing with kirn. Hi sister and several friends have written to me telling me kow I have ruined hiin, broke his heart and sent him to the bad.

I csn neither understand how a boy show you so little eoiuwderstkin or respect, or bow you couW possibly permit surb carryings on." And now you are not going to allow It any more, are you?

The Windy City, apparently anxious for a revival of the days of timers will remember McGee when he was racing over western tracks In the colors of Edward Corrl-ga- He was then merely a selling plater above the ordinary. Ills racing career shows 24 firsts, 13 seconds, and 5 thirds, with money winnings of $18,-87- He was fast, but had no fondness for dis-tance over a mile. McGee's sire, White Knight never raced and begot but one foal. McGee had not been long at the stud before he turned out a Kentucky derby winner, Donerall (1013). Exterminator won the same classic In 1918. Since then McGee's progeny have been mak-ing turf history. Exterminator's dam . Is Fair Empress, by Jim Gore, a stake-winnin- g son of Hindoo and Katie. She was foaled In Kentucky In 1809 and was bred by the late Col. William S. Barnes. She raced twice, unplaced, as a She has had 17 foals. Nine have started in 684 races, winning 132 and earning 1208,014. Four have raced and not won. earning $200. Three foals have not raced. She has also a yearling son. She Is now In foul to McGee, so W. C. Patterson, Jr., of Jamestown, N. V., hn 'a prospect a brother or sister to the American cup champion. , 1884-100-4, when Washington park was in Its glory nd the American derby, attracted a natlcn-wld- e attendance, staged a successful race met ting at the Hawthorne track. Exterminator was billed . for the opening day in a race against time the mile snd a quarter track record of Dodge in i, t:04 8-- The champion was visited by thousands before the opening day. The track was slow from long disuse. Exterminator was content to gallop around is 2:10. But, Just the same. 20,000 paid 3 each to see him run. What's more, they stood np when he came upon the track and cheered him till he returned to his stable by an odd coinci-dence the same stable that used to house McGee, tls sire, when racing In the colors of Edward Cor rigan, the "Master of Hawthorne" In the old duys. Now, the grent running horse Is almost as rtllll-eu- lt of description as the gentleman. But certain qualities h must have to be truly great. He must have speed to run with the best. He must b able to carry weight. He must have the endurance to go o distance. He must have the courage to hook np with a rival In the stretch, look him In the eye, nd go on to win. He mut have the Intelligence to understand the game and the will to win. He must be sound physically and have the stamina to stand training and rare often. He must be honest and always do his best. And he must not be temperamental. Exterminator has all those qualities. Now, there's his rival Mad Hotter, who hn" several times run Exterminator to a nose. He's temperamental. For Instance, at Belmont this fa!!, !. ran tvo miles !n ff:22 3-- 5 with 125 pounds up and won the Jockey club gold mp by two lengths from Bit of White and Pillory. In his very next race, at Aqueduct, something made him "sore" and he pinned back his enrs and wouldn't run. He got off Inst and stayed Inst. At thiit, Mad Hatter Just e.caies being truly great. He's been racing five years and has started 72 times. Here's his score: First, 27; second. 20; third, 12; unplaced, 13; won, $102,335. in fact, this great son of Fair Play Mad Cap, belonging to the Run-coca- s stable, Is the sixth highest winner of the American turf, being surpassed only by Man 0' War, Exterminator, Colin, Sysonby and Domino. Observe how Exterminator shines by contrast being an honest equine gentleman ! Why, any behavior anywhere Is unthinkable of Ex terminator. Just as a sample, here's the way he won the Toronto Autumn cup this full for the third suc-cessive time. Incidentally other hrsis have won this famous race twice, but It remained for Ex-terminator to go them one better. In 1020, with 132 pounds up, Exterminator bent My Dear by a head and In the following year with 1.17 isninds Jn the saddle he tignln beat the same mure by a head. This full Exterminator curried t.';2 pounds and won going sway from Guy and Bit of White in exactly the same time he run the race last year, 2:05 for the mile and it quarter. The race was marked by n terrific early pace. Guy, 102 pounds, assumed nn early lead and, with the Imported borne, Golden Sphere, 11.'!, In close pursuit, they went to the quarter In '2 he half In 4i the three-quarter- s In 1:11 and the tulle In 1 ;W Exterminator was rated along hi llfth position and Johnson never made a move with him until the top of the home sireteh. When culled on the latter responded with h!s tccial Sti rling gameness and, passing the In the final eighth, won going away by a half length. Guy managed to last long enough to beat Bit of White. 100, by a head for second place. Bonlfnce was fourth, a length away. The winner's portion of the stake was $12,800. Exterminator was favor-ite at 4 to 5. That's the way Exterminator runs well be-haved at the post, easily placed in the race and ready for the test at the wire. It's Exterminator's good character that makes him the horse he Is. lie's run 13 races this year nt distances from six furlongs to a mile and a half on all kinds of tracks and has won all but three of them. In his second race this year Boniface beat him a nose. In the other two, which were In succession, he was evidently not la his usual first-cla- ss condition. The old fellow began the season In the spring at Huvre de Grace and traveled all over the country, racing at Plmllco, Churchill, Bel-mont. Aqueduct, I.atonla, Saratoga and Woodbine. In this racing Extenninutor never carried less than 120 pounds and that only once. He curried as high as 140. His usual weight was 132 to 135. Almost Invariably he was fnvorlte and usually at odds on. He beat Mud Hatter, Bon Homme, Grey Log. Polly Ann, Captain Alcock. Devastation. Be Frank, Firebrand. Lady Madcap, Rouleau, Boni-face, Iteglstrar. Bring a Buck and cither August 31 he won the historic Sarutogu eup for the fourth time. A. Johnson rides Exter-minator these days and E. Wnyland Is the stable trainer. Oct. 21 Exterminator won the Laurel handicap nt Lucre! ? 10.075, Jlefeatlng Tryster, Careful; I'ara gou II and other good ones. Exterminator's career can be briefly summarized thus : Fouled. 101.1; races, 84; first, 44; second 10; third, 13; won $1:23.104. As a mutter of fact Exterminator has wan more money In real races than any other horse In thv history of the American turf, notwithstanding the fact that Mun o' War (now retired to the stud) is credited with bigger earnings. As all racing en-thusiasts know, Mun o' War owes his place at the heud of the list to a "hippodrome" performance In Canada, which smacked more of commercialism than sportsmanship. Incidentally, Exterminator was Invited, but his owner and trainer declined to participate. There have been three greut geldings on the American turf before Exterminator Banquet. Hacelund and Strathineatli ; all three are dead. Banquet, fouled In 1SS7, had this score: races, 100; first. C2; second, 42; third. 23; won $118,.Wi. Itaceland (18Sfi) had this record: 130, 70, 2.", 12. $110,:!tU. Strathmenth (1SSS) had this score: 133, 51), Sit, 19, $114,.'H. It Is tn be remembered that the purses and stakes of the day of Exterminator's three predecessors were relatively smaller. It Is a mutter of sincere regret to racing en-thusiasts that Extenninutor, a .'elding, cannot transmit his qualities to future generations of the American thoroughbred. And here comes In a big "If." Would Exterminator, entire, have been so great? Or would he have been temperamental, lifre, for hiittinee, the hurte Mad Hatter? Many a d gelding has been made from an un-manageable thoroughbred. As u mailer of I'a't. Exterminator was gelded simply benuixe be was not considered well cnouuh bred to be worth while i;- - a breeding asset, When he was foaled In 11)1.' t.i.i McGee, did not enjoy his present reputation us a progenitor. Old- - When Externilw tor's turf career comes to an end the champion villi pass the remainder of his days In peace and comfort at Willis Stmrpe Ki-lmer's Sun Brlur Court at Blnghamton, N. Y. Mr. Kilmer Is u wealthy mun who has gone Into the breeding of thoroughbreds on an extensive scale and races for love of the sport. Ills sending of Extenninutor to Chicago was simply to help the 'nuui; alofsg uiicl old In the possible revival of rac-ing there. He was there, with u party of friends, to see his champion perform. Mr. Kilmer's breeding establishment at Blng-hamton Is a model which attracts many visitors The estate, which Is extensive, Is within the city limits and surrounded by beautiful homes, on the historic and beautiful Susquehanna. The first of the buildings one approaches is the large club-house, built by Mr. Kilmer for the entertnitiuient of his friends and visitors. The innin training buildings have stalls for 100 horses and a covered training track of a quarter of a mile. Besides this there are many stables for brood mares and stallions and large paddocks and pastures. Extensive offices and dormitories for grooms and others are provided, and a sep- arate house for the farm staff. Faultless organiza-tion, cleanliness and order show In every depart- ment ami detail about the place.
