II, NO. �9.LOVE AND PROFESSION.My first meeting with Ballard was a-s peculiar.; as our later acquaintanceship.It was in my sophomore year in college. Mychum, Giswold, and I had occupied during our Fresh­man year a room on the ground floor of one of thedormi tories, one of. the cheaper and less desirablerooms that are reserved annually for the incomingclasses. Our scanty purse pad prevented us fromgetting a better room in our second year, though mychum, who had a streak of sentiment running throughhim, tried to think that we stayed there because of afeeling of affection for the old room.One night, towards the close of the Fall Quarter,it had been unusually noisy on the campus. Just aswe were about to "turn in" there came a loud knockat our door, and two college men walked in. Wegreeted them solemnly and they returned the greetingsomewhat shame-facedly. . Two or three bull-dogpipes lying about promiscuously, showed that we weresophomores. and not freshman, as from the location ofthe room they had supposed. They introduced eachother to cover their confusion. One of them wasBallard. We knew him by reputation. He was fastruining his bnlliant talent by reckless living. Weforced our guests to sit down while, in our nightrobes, we dispensed the hospitalities of the room.Ballard and I maintained a bowing acquaintancefor the rest of the year, at the close of which he tookhis degree and joined the "world" in the capacity ofreporter.I did not see him again for seven years. Duringthat time, curiously enough, fate had made me thehead of a family of my own, and had established mein the fairly remunerative position of' a traveli ngsalesman for a large dry goods firm. Still, with anincreasing family, my wife and I-especially my wife,who is a prudent little woman--found it necessary toeconomize, and our vacations were spent with mywife's relatives in the country. This summer, wewent to a cousin's. She had been a bright, vivaciousyoung girl, and the few terms she had spent in aboarding school had opened to her visions of a gayerlife, which the needless routine of duties as a farmer'swife had not yet entirely obscured in her. A railwayhad been built from a booming town to the north tothe metropolis a hundred miles or so south of herhome, cutting through her front yard.d estroying a bedPART J.of azalias, and uprooting one of the large oak treeson which she had been used to fix a hammock Itwas her habit to watch for the south-bound train, andtry to catch glimpses of the people as they were'whirled past her to the city, to that dreamland where,the pulse-beats of life were fuller and faster. ,Ibelieve she felt compensated for the trouble we gave­her by the tidings we brought from' the world beyondc-A short way from the house the railway disap- '"peared in the "long tunnel." One afternoon, my:wife sent me with a message to another dear relativeon the other side of the tunnel. . As' I carne to its·mouth, with the jagged rocks protruding like the teethof a mythological dragon, filed and broken by con­stant crunching of hum an bones, I ran against-of all'men-Ballard. As we breathed the dank air of thetunnel, he told me unenthusiastically of his work on .the Universe, and listened to my glowing descrip­tion of my wife and family; with the superior ·smileof a man who had not yet been caught on the hooks;that young women are supposed to be dangling aftermarriageable young men. As I remember, he wasvisiting the· tunnel on his, own hook, to' get the:basis of a Christmas story which he was preparing. -.He bore none of the traces of dissipation that were soapparent in his college days, though-he smoked in ces- .santly, and his ruddy face and rotund form bespoke a',:life not unacquainted with' moderate use of stirnu- �lants. We must have-walked half through the tunnel;when we became conscious of a burring noise broken Iinto bars by a rythmic click, click. 'It was a traincoming, an extra. surely, it was not time yet for the ;south-bound express. The air struck our backs· asthough a wind had arisen. 'The headlight i of tan·;engine appeared growing larger and larger. Smoke;and steam displaced the air already impure and'unpleasant to breathe. We crouched against the.jagged wall which seemed to push us back into thehot em brace of the locomotive. As the train rushedby us, the breath of death seemed to fan our cheeks.That moment, when we were clinging to the sides ofthe tunnel for life, did more towards making us friendsthan would years of ordinary intercourse. The same­night Ballard left for New York, and it was threeyears before I saw him again. We-never wrote toeach other, but we kept up a communication throughmarked copies of newspapers. A �opy of the FV(Jr142 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY ..with a blue mark around the Washington correspond­ence showed me that he was serving his paper in thecapital; on my part, I sent him the local paper con­taining the notices of any new arrival in the family,and once the announcement of a promotion I hadreceived, which announcement the firm had judiciouslyworked' over into a eulogium on their own rapidsuccess.My new duties took me to fashionable wateringplaces, and one morning, as I was giving my wifefinal instructions about packing my grip preparatoryto a business trip to Saratoga, the post-man left me acopy of the TForM, with the Saratoga correspondencebracketed. There was the opportunity of seeingBallard again. I guessed that he would be likelyto stay at the American hotel, and I went there.I had guessed rightly, and I had no trouble in findinghim. But I was surprised at the change that hadcome over him. In the few moments I had seen himthat day in the "long tunnel," it had required butlittle perspicacity to see that he was entering, though'still young, on a confirmed state of bachelorhood.The little that came to my notice of what he hadwritten had shown decreasing idealism and increasingcymcism. Now he was more carefully dressed thanwhen I had last seen him. His buttons were sewedon less securely, but with the superior art of the tail­or's needle. He was full of good impulses. Hewould neither drink nor smoke, and he spoke withdisgust of the wild life he had led at college. Heseemed restless, and suggested a walk. I fell in withthe suggestion, being anxious to draw him out, tolearn the cause of the change. He talked in a drearykind of way about his newspaper work. He neversuppressed an item or toned up or toned down any­thing he wrote, by reason of request of friends orimprecations of enemies. He sent to his paper every­thing that he thought would be printed, and neitheradded to the. facts nor detracted from them. Hespoke of several sensational articles that he hadsecured, but without any thrill of satisfaction. Hisjournal dealt largely in "that sort of rot," and ofcourse he tried to get all the sensations he could. Hedid his duties by his employers. His stay in Wash­ington was not very successful. "I told the truthabout those fellows," he said, grimly, "and after awhile they would close up like an oyster when I cameround, so that a man with more tact was detailed forthat service."I kept him talking for I felt in this blase reporterthe keen interest of a man who had spent most of hislife among prosaic people. He was paying for theexcesses of his youth with interest at frightfullyusurious rate. His perceptions had been quickened,. and the accuracy with which he recalled the minutestdetail showed how prodigiously developed his memorywas, but in his other mental faculties a dry rot hadsettled, His work was done, so I concluded from his conversation, automatically and under pressure of apersistent, cold-blooded sense of duty to his paper,which,in his Washington correspondence at least, wasshort-sighted. He had got into the rut of unimagin­ative faithfulness characteristic of the typical govern­ment employes.We had walked, out to some of the out-lyingsprings, and I was so fascinated in the study of myfriend that we were back again OIl the main avenuebefore I was aware of it, As we passed the UnitedStates hotel, he caught my arm. I looked up in timeto see the receding folds of a woman's gown, as thewearer passed through the door-way. That then, wasthe displacer of "my lady nicotine" in Ballard'saffections, and the cause of his lately acquired finicalqualms about an occasional glass of brandy and soda,and a quiet game with low stakes. He hesitated fora moment,-long enough, as I afterwards thought, toshow the proper amount of reverence for his divinity,-then he broke through his, imperturbability andbecame positively animated."That," he said, "is Miss Adams. She belongsto one of the oldest families of the South.""The name," I suggested, "attests the familyantiquity. "He passed over what my wife is wont to call myfeeble attempt at a joke."But you didn't see her. She is the loveliestwoman I have ever known. Her eyes, mellow, liquideyes-I scarcely know their color, but her glances aresteady and true, and her voice has all the luxurianceof southern clime. She is not quite so tall as I, anda: Godiva in form, with the firm, rounded neck andshoulders, such as Millet puts on his peasant girls.And her hair, black and wavy, with the daintiest littleears peeping out from beneath the tresses! She is asclever as she is good. She rides superbly too. Sinceshe has started the fashion, riding has become thecraze here. Poor girl, poor girl!""Why 'poor girl?'" I asked.He was silent for a moment, and then as we partedon the balcony of the "American/' he said with aneffort:"Come up to my room, No. I76, after dinner. Iwant to talk it over with you while dressing for a ballat the' 'States" tonight!After dinner and a cigar, I went up to his roomasdeliberately as possible. I did not care to seem toomuch interested in his affairs."Come in," he growled in response to my knock,and then he finished dressing punctiliously, withouttaking any further notice of me. Finally drawing uphis chair, he began bluntly and without preface totalk.(CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK).

G. Cressey,an occupant of a room on the second floor of MiddleDivinity Dormitory was awakened by a noise at hisbedside. . Opening h is eyes he perceived the burlyform of a man bending over a package which lay onthe floor. Cressey jumped from his bed and seizedthe man, shouting lustily for help as he did so. Adesperate fight ensued, and the unbidden visitor hadsucceeded in dragging the plucky divinity student intothe sitting room, where he was pounding him viciouslywhen help appeared. The help was in the shape ofW. G. Chalmers, Mr. Cressey's room-mate, who occu­pies an apartment adjoining the sitting room, andwho had been awakened by his fellow's cries and thesound of the thief's blows. Undismayed and courage­ous, the redoubtable Chalmers rushed into the fray,and landed several body and neck blows in quick suc­cession upon the miscreant. This made the man"groggy," and turning from Cressey, he pro­ceeded to dislodge portions of epidermis from Chal­mers' body. Chalmers was "game," however, and itwas a good fight while it lasted. Suddenly the thiefclenched with his opponent, and then suddenlydelivered the rotary motion and uppercut blows usedwith such terrible effect by Mr. Corbett upon thelate Mr. Mitchell. Breaking loose, he ran into Mr.Chalmers' bed room, closing the door after him andthrowing his weight against it. Still "game," Chal­mers succeeded in forcing the door, and again grappledwith Mr. Corbett's disciple, some fierce infighting tak­ing place. Mr. Cressey had, in the meantime, beenleaning out of the middle window, yelling for help.His lungs were on the point of bursting when a knockat the door caused him to cease his uproar. The doorbeing opened revealed a cold, curious and frightenedgroup of divinity students, clad in abbreviated night­gowns and sundry articles of wearing apparel pickedup in haste. The procession filed into the room, andsurrounded the fighting gladiators, who had nowadopted the fighting tactics made famous by therenowned General John L. Sullivan. The descrip­tion of the four final rounds is given us by a spectator:ROUND I. Chalmers sparred cautiously for anopening, while the unknown got his wind. Receiv­ing the same, the unknown planted his .right knee inChalmers' shoulder, being promptly knocked down.ROUND 2. The unknown uppercut Chalmers, fol­lowing with his right on the nose of the champion ofthe University. The round ended with Chalmersplanting his left on his opponent's jaw, almost dis­locating that part of his anatomy.ROUND 3. The unknown came up groggy, his lipcut and his wisdom tooth missing. However, hedelivered the pivot blow and found Chalmers' nosewith his right, surprising a stray blood vessel intoaction.ROUND 4- As the men came up to the scratch, Chalmers discharged his right into the unknown'seye, and his left into his teeth, following with bothfeet into his breast. The onlookers now gatheredup the remains of the early visitor, and placed themin the coupe provided by the. police from the HydePark station.When searched at Woodlawn station the prisonerwas found to have on his person a tailor's outfit, acostly opal ring, a diamond pin valued at $150, two sou­venir spoons, a brooch pin, a razor, and two silk neck­kerchiefs. All of this plunder except the tailors' toolsare thought to have been taken from occupants of theUniversity Hall. At the station the burglar wouldonly say that his name was Lund. Aside from giv­ing his name he acted as th-ough ignorant of whatwas said to him. The police, however, have locatedhim as a man caught at the Bunton Hotel, corner ofSixty-First street and Madison avenue, some timeago, and was released on a fine of $25 which was sus­pended.During the fall and winter scarcely a_ week hasgone by without bringing to light some act of thieveryperpetrated on the students. Although a detectivehas been stationed on the campus the thief was notapprehended. All his acts have been extremely dar­ing. Entrance has been made through transoms andwindows, and property taken while the occupants ofthe room were asleep or momentarily absent. It isbelieved that Lund, as he calls himself, has been theperpetrator of many 'of these robberies.Athletic Entertainment.Pursuant to a suggestion by President Harper, anentertainment will be g iven in Kent Auditorium onSaturday, February 24th, for the purpose of payingthe athletic debt of about $400.

We urge thatanother man be engaged to share the duties of thepresent night-watch.** *PRESIDENT HARPER is now engaged in deliver­ing a series of lectures on the stories of Gene­SIS. Every Saturday evening he lectures at the Mem­orial Baptist Church on Oakland boulevard under themanagement of the Extension department of the Uni­versity. Anyone having the required ticket isadmitted to the church on the occasion of each lec­ture. Sunday afternoons, in the theatre of KentChemical Laboratory, the same course of lectures isdelivered. If we are to believe the announcements receptions, chapel or in the corridors. But theannouncement, previously referred to, reads: -Onlymembers of t/ze University are admitted.It is indeed hard to credit this statement after see­ing with our own eyes and hearing with our own ears.It is not unfair to ask the authorities: "Have youacquainted yourselves sufficiently with every studentand every professor, so that you can turn from t�edoor all who are not members of the University?"The answer must be "no." For admission to KentHall no identification and no money payment isrequired. Persons of all conditions and races, ofhigh and low stature, are passed without question.The lectures have been well attended. Every Sun­day the seating capacity of Kent has been tested tothe utmost. Students, naturally chivalrous, havegracefully yielded up their seats to decrepit old menand women, who have never before entered the doorsof a university, but who wish to hear what the learnedapostle of religious truth has to say in reply to thepopular Dr. Henson. These people occupy thegreater portion of the best seats, while Universitystudents, for W/Z017Z the lectures are intended, are forcel·to stand. It is not hard to interpret the intentions ofthe unwelcome visitors. It would be charitable tobelieve that they come simply for the .purpose ofbeing instructed in the truths of the Bible. Butthere is another purpose in their attendance at theSunday lectures. The price of tickets to the Mem­orial Church course is two dollars. The Sundaymade through the bulletins at the beginning of the lectures are free. Can we draw a conclusion fromcourse, these latter lectures are arranged expressly these two statements? Can we not correctly deter-for U niversi ty students and professors. Only mem­bers of the University are admitted, at least, so we aretold. And yet we feel inclined to doubt this statementafter attending several of the addresses. It is improb­able that the old maid with the poke- bonnet, whoalways occupies a convenient seat near the front, is a"fair co-ed." And the stuffy, corpulent little manwith the red nose and a wheezy voice, who is continu­ally muttering "good, good," whenever Presiden tHarper makes a telling attack upon the "good oldbeliefs of our ancestors" is he too one of the athleticyoung men, who attend classes in this institution oflearning? And the young damsels who cast shy andwinning glances at the University men, and droptheir eyes modestly when these glances are returned,they also are University students, we suppose. Yet,we never meet any of these people at classes ; neverencounter them on the campLlsl never see thern at mine why so great 3. number of outsiders visit theUniversity Sunday afternoons unasked and unwished?If the University wi she; to protect its students andfaculty from inconvenience, if it cares to have its bul­letins and announce men ts cons trued as meaningsomething, if it wishes to preserve a reputation-fordecision, it must enforce its rules. If visitors are tobe admitted to the Sunday lectures, let it be known.Students desiring to hear the lectures can then arrangeto attend the Memorial Church course. If, on theother hand, the authori ties wish to carry out theirintention of making this course strictly for Universitypeople, let them go about the matter properly, andenforce the rule prohibiting visitors from entering.The first mock trial in the Harvard law school furforty years was held last week.

The explanation of such discussionis not to be found in the radicalism of some peopleand the conservatism of others. The reason for it isthat men perceive that the Bible deals with the mostvital themes that cal! possibly be considered, thethemes of the most profound importance and of uni­versal interest. Whatever affects their views of theBible is almost instinctively called upon to showcause for its existence. Nor can any judicious thinkerfind fault with this attitude of mind. It is, therefore,not surprising that the lectures of President Harperon the "Stories of Genesis," given Saturday eveningsin the Memorial Baptist Church, and Sunday after­noons in the auditorium of Kent Laboratory, arern uch in people's mouths.To many, perhaps the majority of the hearers inboth audiences, the facts presented from sources out­side the Bible are, for the most part, new, and theviews presented seem a great innovation upon theideas which they have been accustomed to hold, andit becomes an exceedingly important matter to knowhow to regard the entire subject.Now, in considering what is said in these lectures,there are several things to be borne in mind. In thefirst place, there is the fact that these stories, in theform in which we know them, exist. And they exist,not in obscure documents, known only to a fewscholars, but as a part of the most widely knownliterature in the world. Marry, many centuries ago'they were exerting a profound influence on the actionsand characters of men, they have lived on throughthe ages, and they still continue to exercise a realspiritual power. They are great moral facts in thehistory of the world. As such they demand explan­ation. The exegete, the religious teacher, the phil­osophical historian must take account of them. To.ignore them would be as uncientific as to disregardthe poems of 'Homer, or the writings of Herodotus.In the second place, it must be remembered thatin a careful study of these stories, such study as is-put upon any other piece of ancient literature, thereare encountered a great many difficulties-very seriousones-affecting the literary character of the form,and the historical character of the subj ect matter.With some of these difficulties most people are moreor less familiar, as, for' example, the often-alleged"(:Qnftict" between the stories of creation and the find- ings of natural science, the long lives of the ante­diluvians, the story of the flood; but with many othersthey are unacquainted, because their study has beentoo superficial, or, at any rate, too general to revealthem. The difficulties exist, nevertheless, and aresufficient to enable many disbelievers in a divinerevelation to argue very plausibly against the credi­bility of the Bible as a whole. Here is a second setof facts.In the third place, it is found that in the literaturesor traditions of almost, if not quite, all peoples whosehistory reaches back to remote antiquity, similarstories exist, differing in form and details from theBiblical stories, but having points of resem blance tooclose and too numerous to be disregarded as acci­dental. Many of these outside stories are found in doc­uments known to be of much more ancient date thanany Hebrew writings with which scholars are acquain­ted. Here, then, is a third set of facts.N ow, the lecturer announced at the outset that hisaim was, in the light of all the facts obtainable, toshow that these Biblical stories rest on a sure basis asa part of inspired scripture; that they are of a form somarked, and are animated by a spirit and purpose sounique, that no one who studies them fairly and fullycan fail to see their divine character, or to acknowledgethe force of the religious teaching wl.ich they contain.This is a kind of work much needing to be done, and,a method which no one who understands what is meantcan fairly gainsay. President Harper is not theoriz­ing; he is not indulging in speculation on theseimportant themes. He is bringing together theresults 'of an immense amount of painstaking researchin many wide realms of study. And while many com­monly held views are shown to be un tenable, theunique character of these Biblical, stories is shownmore and more clearly as they are contrasted withthose from other sources. If he is a "destructivecritic," it is of misconceptions and untenable positionswhich believers in a divine revelation have mistakenlyassumed. It is, moreover, too early to make up one'smind in regard to the views presented until thecourse. is finished. The subject is too great to be dealt within one lecture or two, and it is fair to ask that judg­ment be reserved till all sides of the matter have beenstated.On the other hand, it is no mark of learning orliberality to sneer at those who do not see their wayclear to accept these views. People do not easilymake radical changes in their ways of looking atimportant matters, and when the question concernsthe writings on whose teachings a man rests his relig­ious faith, he will not, if he is an independentthinker? accept new views without very careful and!IIi UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.mature deliberation, no matter how great the authoritywhich presents them. His acceptance would not beworth much if it came too readily. Probably thosewho have most heartily welcomed the lectures are thepeople who have long recognized the difficulties con­nected with these old Biblical stories, and have at thesame time felt and acknowledged the force of thereligious teaching contained in them. They belongto 'a large and growing classof Christian people whoare sincere enough to recognize spiritual truthwherever found, open-minded enough to acknow­ledge difficulties where they really exist, and wiseenough to wait for explanation of the difficulties whilethey s till hold f as t to the truth which they see. It isto be expected that the President's lectures will proveexceedingly helpful. especially to hearers of this class,and it is to be hoped that they may also awaken theinterest, and direct the purpose of many students todevote themselves permanently to this most interesting and most profitable of all fields of investigation-Biblical study.

The Morgan Park Academy team wasdefeated by the score of 20 to I I by the 'varsi ty team,and the Snell Hall nine went down before the pickedteam by the score of 20 to 16. Fowls were even inthe tirst game, but the 'varsity piled up a trio of goalsmore than the academy. Bliss, of football fame,made a star run in this game, which elicited admira­tion. He covered the entire length of the gymnasium,bouncing the ball up and down on the floor, and atthe enemy's goal tossed the leather to big Adkinson,who cleverly placed it in the basket. The playerswere as follows:Academy. University.Ellsworth Goalkeeper Nichols.Dietrich I G d 5 Hubbard.Campbell I uar s.................

The student sentiment is strongly infavor of upholding this rule The old system ofespionage in examination was distasteful to the stu­dents.

For the first time prizes were offeredto the successful competitors, and this stimulusbrought forth brilliant scientific productions.There are in the University sixteen literary andscientific clubs. Three of these in rotation present apaper apiece at each meeting of the University Union.The Exegetical, History and Political Science, andSemitic Clubs had charge of the meeting last night.Af ter a sharp competition in these clubs, Mr. J. H.Ward was decided upon as the representative of theExegetical Club, Miss Elizabeth Wallace, of the His­tory and Political Science Club, and T. G. Soares, of.the Semitic Club. To each of these a prize of $50was awarded, the donor being Mrs. Elizabeth G.Kelly who gave the funds for Kelly Hall.The exercises were held in Kent Auditorium,where, on the platform, besides the speakers, satPresident Harper, Professor Dewey, of the Univer­sity .of Michigan; Deans Judson and Hulbert, Pro­fessor Goodspeed, Professor Burton, Dr. Kent andW. B. Owen, president of the union.Mr. Ward spoke 011 "The Significance of Sacri­fice, " From a profound knowledge of the Old Testa- ment, and a thorough acquaintance with the originaltongues, he discussed the development among theHebrews of the ordinance of the sacrifice.The "Latin-American Republics" was the subjectof the paper read by Miss Elizabeth Wallace, head ofBeecher Hall and docent in Spanish. Miss Wallacespoke in detail of Brazil, and of the half dozen insur­rections that have taken place during Peixoto's briefadministration, begun in N ovem be r, 1892. She said:"In the North the people are anxious for therestoration of the monarchy, in the cen tral provincesthey are uneasy, but not clear as to the wants. Inthe South the uprising actually began. Last Julythe insurgents were made formidable by variousaccessions, then the navy under Mello turned in revolt.The prospects for the future of the South AmericanStates may not seem very bright. But the true great­ness of these countries lies in the future. For 300years they have been shackled with the bonds of·Spain. The wonder is that any spirit of libertyremains.Mr. T. G. Sores, student of comparative religion,read the final paper, a production of considerablescholastic merit, on "The Exodus."Lines Sent With a Philippine."When this you see,' '-the verses run,Let it remind you of the funWe had at Christmas time, v. hich sureThe sou ven ir of silk so pureHand-made, will do for me.And when again occasion causeThe answer to demand a pause,When' 'Yes" or "No" in PhilippineWill make you fall in traps unseen,Then ' , Remember me."But when, in rarer, gentler voiceA question's asked that calls for choice,When "Yes" or "No" will seal, forsooth,The fate of some besmitten you til ,Ah, then, "Remember me!"S.

"One of the features of theclub," said Professor R. F. Harper, who has been theprime mover of the organization, "is to have a reading­room containing all the important European pericd­icals. The club rooms will be a convenient place for thefaculty to bring their friends, and besides its socialfeatures there will be opportunities for the membersof one department to keep informed, in a generalway, of the advances made in another."UN1VERsrty OF CH1CAGO WEEKLY.Majors and Minors.The young ladies of Kelly Hall received theirfriends Monday afternoon from 3 to 6.There will be a game of basket ball in the U niver­sity Gymnasium Saturday, with the Y.
