ULMER BIRD WRITES
FROM PRINCETON U.
Tho following letter wa received from
Uimer S. Bird. '24 who is in school ai
Princeton University. New Jersey this
week. Mr Bird was one of the outitand-
Ing members of his class and for over
three years held important places of honor
among the students. He was president of
tho Philomathian Literary Society and rep
resented the college in several intercol-
legiate debates during his college course.
The letter follows:
Princeton N. J. January 17 1926.
Mr. 0. D. Carter Simmons Brand
Abilene Texas.
Dear Carter:
How about a word from an old timer
"back east." When I was up at New
York some time ago I went out to Colum-
bia University and talked to Nelson Hutto
for awhile and he told me you were Edi-
tor of the Brand this year.
After questioning Nelson about your pedi
gree I came to the conclusion said Editor
was my old friend Carter of Philo glory
and If I don't get the initials right forget
about it. Also if it isn't you I guess it
was two other fellows and we never met.
But I'm satisfied it's you. for I remember
talking with you about journalism one day
at Simmons and am not surprised at your
making good at it.
Nelson gave me the only word I'd had
from Simmons since coming up here and
I will say without Tiesitatlon he was tho
best looking man I saw in New York. For
goodness sake write me a letter and send
me a copy of the Brand before I die of
Intellectual starvation 1
I am half-way through a great year up
here at Princeton Theological Seminary.
I have been exposed to some of the best
brand of knowledge in tho country and
escaped unscathed. 1 am enjoying the
work and the association with men from
all over the world. Some of the great
scholars of the country such as Dr. Wil-
son Dr. Machen Dr. Erdman and others
are my teachers and the work is of the
.best.
Boy I appreciate more all the time the
Uays I spent at old Sjmmons and the
things the old school stands for Give
mj regards to any of the old crowd that's
still there.
There are a lot of things up here that
are different -from the way we do them
down in" Texas. For instance the preach
ers all wear gowns like the Seniors do on
commencement day that is they wear
thern while they're in the pulpit. And the
natives up Iiere carry walking sticks with
them when they go walking. Also the
water freezes on top of tho lakes so you
can skate on it that is if you can stand
up long enough. The trouble with me is
' I have trouble standing up. I sit down
more ways than a Chinaman can eat rice.
Put skating Is great sport.
I'm going back to Texas in my Texas
Ford next spring and hope o see you
when I pass through Abilene on my way
home. .
With best wishes and highest regards
to you to the Brand to the faculty and
to Simmon University in general.
Sincerely yours
ULMER S. BIRD.

FURNITURE IS INSTALLED
IN FERGUSON HALL WED.
The occupants of Fergusan Hall shall
suffer hardships no more. No longer shall
It be necessary for the dormitory lads to
stand up constantly. Heretofore chairs
were practically unknown within the walls
of the new building. But that day is past
The remainder of tho furniture of the
hall was delivered Wednesday morning
Oak chairs matching the study tables al
ready provided were placed in every suite
in the dormitory and the furniture there
is now complete. The furniture is of good
material and Is beautifully finished all
in keeping with the building itself.
Furniture for the parlor was also deliv-
ered this week. This room Is comfortably
and beautifully furnished with spacious
overstuffed arm chairs and divans finish-
ed in brown vclour. A long center table
of walnut is also provided. With this fur-
niture the Ferguson Hall parlor Is as com-
plete and tastefully equipped as the rest
of the splendid building. This dormitory
can now compete with the best in the
state.
o
MOKE NAMES NEEDED
Although the students have cooperated
heartily in the calendar project one hun-
dred more names are needed to finish out
the four hundred necessary to fill the caV-J
endar. A number who stood pledging
themselves to place their names on the
calendar have not yet done so. Miss Grove
who devised this scheme for raising money
to buy a concert piano for the chapel and
yet giving the subscribers their money's
worth in the form of a birthday calendar
said "We would like the name of every
student on the calendar as a manifestation
of both their interest in the beautifying
of the chapel and in their friends in Sim-
mons "

IS IT WORTH WHILE?
Men hnvo been giving up every-
thing they possessed in order to get
money. They have dissipated health
sacrificed friends surrendered honor
and given life itself in order that they
might have a few thousand dollars
lor their children to quarrel over.
They have crushed their noblest
ideals stifled their truest aspirations
and denied God that thoy might add
to their bank account.
Hut In an hour when such men
stand in the presonco of a disaster
llko the sinking of the Titanic they
are compelled to acknowledge all
their achievements and accumulations
are as nothing when measured wjth
Ufa hero and eternity to come Thoy
are made to cry out "Vanity of vani-
ty nil is vanity."
A striking illustration of this truth
is seeri in the experience of one of the
heroes of tho Titanic disaster Maj A.
G. Peuchen of Toronto who had more
than f 300000 in money jewelry and
securities in a box in his cabin when
he left the ship. Ho went back to his
cabin for tho box but decided to take
three oranges instead
"The money seemed to be a mere
mockery at that time" said the
major. The only trinket which I
saved was a littlo pin which I remem-
bered had always brought me luck
I picked up the pin and three oranges
instead of tho money and the docu-
ments." Let us learn from Maj Peuchen
and. his choico that while money is
something it is not everything Lot
us know now and for all time to come
that when we must choose between
money on the one hand and honor and
God and life on the other U pays to
loe the jsopey and to keep our in-
FISH GOES A FISHING
GETS
REAL GOOD KICK
SAYS SOMETHIN' BRIGHT
Say I This goln' to school sure docs
worry me. I've sweated and studied and
made excuses 'til I'm all worn out.
The other day in History class I was
dreamin about a cork bobblln' on a cool
shady stream. All at once that tall teach
cr yelled out "Mr. Pembcrtdn wake upl
When was America discovered?" I an-
swered "The significance of sin is Hypo
thetical Syllogism" I don't know whether
he said I answered correctly or not. I
was dreamin of pullin' a long yellow cat-
fish out of a cool shady stream.
The other day one of the teachers was
countln' us to see how many of us that
were slttln' in his room didn't have scats
or somethln'. Anyway I said "Ain't we
a fine look In' bunch?" And believe it
or not a smarty that might've been a
Soph (Oh I'm not sayin' it wasl Sophs
are all right) said kinda thrcatcnin' "I'll
have to 'tend to that Slime. He's always
sayin' something' bright." Now can you
beat thatl And I had just been repcatin'
what I heard a Soph say in another class!
But you cannot please some people.
Well that Soph 'tended to me all right.
and I guess I must have kicked some.
was so busy I hardly knew what I was
doing but the next morning I found a
mule drawn in front of my scat.
You know that box of steps in front
of the Wage. Well some boys told me
there was something under that box with
a kick in it. I dared 'em to show it to me
and a bunch of 'cm took me down there
They told me that all I had to do was to
say "hocus pocus" pull the box out from
the Hugo stoop over and take a look. I
said "hocus-pocus" pulled the box out
from the stage stooped over but as I was
taking a look well I got the kick all
right 1
Some folks live in the Future
Some folks live in the Past;
But I am a Slime
I live in the Present
The Present is blue (and I am too)
That's "Free Verse."

"DEEP SEA SLUM"
A doughboy still clnd In khnkl and
overseas cap was whilinn awny time
between trains by casually reading
titles of books on display in tho win-
dow of a second-hand bookstore near
the depot. His glance fell upon n
copy of Jacob Rils' "The Battle with
the Slum" when he turned to a man
next to him saying: "I have henrd
of fellows writing articles nnd books
on their experiences in the war and
have heard them 'lny out' everybody
from the old man to tjie K. O 's dog
robber but this is tho first book I
have run across that is devoted en-
tirely to the crimes of army cooks."

HIS MATCH
On the occasion of one of his public
speeches in Wales Mr. Lloyd George
was introduced to the assembly by a
Welsh deacon.
"Gentlemen" said the deacon "I
have to introduce to you tonight tho
member of Carnavon Boroughs. He
has come here to reply to what the
Bishop of St. Asaph said about the
Welsh dis-cstabllshment. ... la my
opinion gentlemen the Bishop of St.
Asaph la one of the biggest liars in
creation but thank God wo have a
match for him tonight."

appropriate program will be arranged con-
sisting of a short talk by the senior presi
dent Judge Caldwell and others; stunts

as large a crowd as possible present.
