---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER FEBRUARY-MARCH ,1905 LINCOLN AND
WASHINGTON ALTHOUGH February is the shortest month in the year it has
produced two of the greatest men in the history of our nation. The
fourteenth of April, 1865, witnessed the death of the grandest man this
country has ever produced, when in the briefest instant of time, a
maddened actor cut the life thread upon which hung the hopes of millions
of people. Four years previous to this date, Abraham Lincoln had taken
upon himself the grave responsibilities of the presidential chair. Never
before in the world's history, had a nation been so sadly in need of a
wise guide, and rarely in the course of ages had the world produced a man
so ably fitted to fill the place. For years the ship of state had sailed
an unruffled sea, increasing in wealth and power. Now the clouds which
for years had hovered near the horizon rose black in the sky. But when
the storm broke with its resistless fury, a strong hand was at the helm
and despite bitter revilings of public opinion the stanch vessel was
guided safely past the rocks and into calm waters. The preservation of the
Union under the circumstances was a task of supreme difficulty; and of
all historical characters Lincoln alone was capable of the work.
Herein lay the secret of his success: "My paramount object is to save the
Union and not either to save or distroy slavery." Some people have called
him the greatest
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 4
---------- 4 The Normal Messenger man t h a t ever lived. But in
fact he is not to be compared with any other. He belongs in a class by
himself. Let us be content with this fact; he was the most individual man
that ever lived. In the words of Morse, "Let us take him simply as Abrahm
Lincoln, singular and solitary as we all see that he was; let us be
thankful if we can make a niche big enough for him among the world's
heroes; and there let him remain forever, lonely as in his strange life
time, impressive, mysterious, unmeasured and unsolved. We of the west,
who have lived all our lives surrounded by God's everlasting
sentinels, the mountains, rarely stop to think of the fact that we
are not equally impressed by the beauty of all of them. Only once in a
while does a lofty peak rear its head above the others and stand out as a
land mark for all who pass t h a t way. Thus it is with men. A vast
multitude of them are just ordinary mountains, but here and there we find
one with a mind broad enough and heart full enough to cause those round
about him to shrink in comparison. Such a man was Washington. Reared in
the country, growing up under the watchful eye of a christian
mother, the awkward lad developed into a noble American man. A temper he
had, truly, and some say that it was not well controlled; that during
outburts of anger he was exceedingly profane, but let us remember
that a man who is incapable of anger is worth very little; that no man
ever lived who had more to vex him than had Washington. When he did such
noble duty during our long struggle for independence, at the end of
that chaotic siege, "One of the greatest of the world's great men
consecrated himself anew to the service of his country and entered upon
the duties of giving Hfe and vigor to the new government of a
nation."
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 5
---------- The Normal Messenger 5 Washington was the first great
American, and no better example can be found for future great Americans
to follow than "The Father of his Country." Z. I. P. '06. AN INCIDENT OF
1863 BLACK OUTLINED against the vaulted sky rose the ragged edge of Arbor
Hill. Autumn's lavish hand had touched the trees, ferns and grasses,
giving them a gorgeous coloring with his finger tips of frost. Here and
there a noble old pine tree reared its head reverently to a close touch
with the fathomless blue above and seemed to look solemnly down on
the little log cabin which hid in the valley below. The sun was just
dipping over the crest of the hill as an old man scrambled through the
brush and entered the path which led past the well and up to the kitchen
door. "Yes" he said to himself, "I hate to do it but this infernal
rheumatism has stiffened me so I can't go. Besides the lad knows the road
as well as I do; only, how on earth is he going to carry that gold such a
distance without being robbed? The country is full of those d guerrillas;
night and day they prowl through these woods until this valley has
become a den of thieves. Well, there comes the boy now. Where you
been, Donald? Out in the back meadow? Well, come here. I want to talk to
you." So saying he led his twelve year old grandson into the kitchen and
closed the door. Then he explained quietly what he wanted done. He had
just learned that a score or more of Union soldiers were lying in a
dilapidated farm house some seven miles from the cabin, with scarcely
enough to eat, to say nothing of delicacies and drugs so essential to the
sick.- A slight skirmish had taken place in the neighborhood a few days
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 6
---------- 6 The Normal Messenger previous and these men being
unfit to travel were left behind in charge of a physician. Grandad knew t
h a t it would be worse than useless to try to send provisions, for the
guerrillas never allow anything like that to pass. But he though that by
sending money, food and drugs could be purchased by the farmer or his
wife and thus avert suspicion. How to send the money was the question
which puzzled the old man and caused Donald to thrust his hands in his
pockets and whistle. Suddenly he sprang up and tossed his cap into the
air as he exclaimed "I've got i t Grandpa! I've got it." "Well don't act
like a fool, but lets have it," replied the irritated old man. The
boy crossed the room and came close to his grandfather's side as he said
in a low tone, "You know that old push cart with the broken handle? We'll
put a double bottom in it and fill it with potatoes and you can nail the
gold between the two thicknesses of boards and they'll never think of
looking there." "Donald my boy you'll make a smart man some day," said the
old man giving him a slap on the shoulder that made the youngster jump.
"Come with me, now and we'll fix that old cart so t h a t you can get an
early start in the morning." Just as the sun crept over the hills next day
Donald started on his errand of mercy pushing before him a load of
healthy Burbanks. His grandmother wanted to send some sweet brown bread
and apple jelly to the homesick "boys in blue" but being finally
persuaded that her kindness would be worse than wasted, she kissed her boy
good-bye and he started off. Four miles he trudged happily along
whistling a tune now and then or chirping to some gay bird which had
delayed his autumn journey to a warmer clime. Suddenly on approaching the
bridge which spanned the gulch a man sprang up from the
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 7
---------- The Normal Messenger 7 roadside, a gun was leveled at
his head and a voice commanded,"HALT!" Donald was no coward but when, a
few minutes later he found himself surrounded by a rough guerrilla
band his heart almost failed him. "Well sonny what have you got here?
"Potatoes, by George! and dandies they are, too. We'll just relieve you
of these my fine fellow." And without more ado the boy saw his
grand-farther's fine potatoes dumped from the cart. They were no sooner
out, however, than one of the men exclaimed, "Rodney, what yer doin'
there; we can't pack those spuds anywhere. Take the cart and all and
lets be out of this; you were a derned fool to ever unload 'em.
"Well," said the other in a surly tone, " I had the job of taking them
out; don't you ever think I'm going to put them back in." "Oh, give the
boy his cart and lets be off," said their leader; so without more ado
Donald was allowed to move on. He had not gone more than a half dozen
yards when one of the men seized him with a cry, holding before his
astonished view a twenty dollar gold piece. "Ah! Ha! you carry something
more valuable than potatoes I reckon," exclaimed the leader and as
the remainder of the gang again surrounded him the big burly brute
stripped off the boy's clothes. Donald was terrified; he scarcely noticed
how roughly he was being handled; his whole soul was filled with fear
lest the treacherous crack which had given up one shining coin would let
fall others. They searched for fully an hour, even ripping out the
lining of his trousers to see t h at nothing had been concealed, but all
of no avail. Seeing that the search was useless they shouldered their
potatoes and disappeared in the woods leaving Don to dress at
leisure. A very hungry tired boy crept into the little cabin that
night and as he toasted his

to the indignant old couple his experience with the guerrillas. Z. I. P.
THE STARS The angels light the lamps of heaven And hang them out on high,
Where clear and bright, throughout the night They light the azure sky.
They guard the sleeping world below, They guide the traveler's way With
their soft glow, where ere he go Until the break of day. Then when the
golden sun a t dawn Climbs up the crimson sky, Their work is done and one
by one They fade away and die. J M. S. '08. The room is in disorder,
There is a horrid din; What can be the matter? No critic teacher's in.
Suddenly there is silence. Great interest now is shown; A stately lady
enters And sits as on a throne. The children now are angels. The
teacher's nervous though* For she, poor soul, is thinking That likely her
cake is dough. —The Mankatoniam.

VOL. IV. FEB.-MARCH, 1905 No. 5 EDITORIAL We were indeed disappointed in
the nonappearance of Elbert Hubbard who was to have given for the
fourth number of our lecture course, a lecture on "Roycroft Ideals." We
know that it was no fault of the committee in charge of the course
and trust that they may succeed in finding a number equally as good to
take his place. On March 23, Ernest Seton Thompson comes as the fourth
number on our course. Those who have heard him say that he is even more
interesting, as a speaker, than as a writer. If his lecture proves as
interesting as his stories there will be no cause for complaint.
LITERARY SOCIETIES The societies have decided to begin a cow-test to see
which can fanrisb the best programs. Bach society is to famish fowr
pro*-
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 10
---------- 10 The Normal Messenger grams of not less than six
numbers or more than ten, each number to be given credits according to
its rendition. The society which receives the greatest number of credits
is to be entertained by the losing society. The present officers of the
Sirius society are: President, Isabel McRae; vice-president, Grace
Dickey; secretary, Elsa Anthon; treasurer, Myrtle Williams;
sergeant-at-arms, Chas. Jones. Those of the Clionean society are:
President, Judeth Hawes; secretary, Isabel Holt; treasurer, A. R.
Moore; sergeant-at-arms, Minnie Osberg; reporter, Frankie Sullivan;
pianist, Harry Raymond. Program committee, Edith Collier, Thomas
Evans, Rossae Swartz, Susie Andrus, Kate White. The young men of the
school met in Prof. Wilson's room, January 27, to organize a debating
society. Messrs. Smith, Jones and Davenport were appointed to draft a
constitution and by-laws. A very appropriate name indicative of the
object pursued was given to the society—Normal Debating Club.
Although debating is maintained as the principle of our
programs, they are not confined to this special sort of contest. Instead,
occasionally some bright young fellow is called upon to make an
impromptu speech on some subject familiar to the individual as "Love and
Hatred," "Friendship," "The True Athletic Spirit." We mention these
subjects because they were the initial impromptus. Mr. Smith
handled the subject of "Love and Hatred," like a veteran giving evidence
of less knowledge of hatred than love. Mr. Nichols on "Friendship" and
Mr. Phelps on "The True Athletic Spirit" proved themselves indeed
orators. The club has held weekly meetings since its organization and the
interest shown in the
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 11
---------- The Normal Messenger 11 first meeting has increased
with each succeeding meeting. It is certain that if the interest
continues to increase as it is now doing that the society is bound to grow
numerically and intellectually. Our programs so far consisting of
music, debates, impromptu speeches, recitations and essays, we believe
have been interesting as well as helpful. The one given March 9 was: An
address - Fred Johnson Impromptu. Debate—Resolved, That the
sympathies of the United States should be with Japan in the
Russo-Japanese war. Affirmative—N. Davenport and H. Smith.
Negative~W. Nichols and A. Willard. An Invective on the Saloon - Chas.

Society Our first president, Charles Jones, was suc-ceede by Noah
Davenport. The members of the Young Women's Christian Association
are glad to welcome all the students that the new semester has brought t
o our school. We hope that they will lose no time in finding their places
in the membership of the Association and the friendship that awaits
them there. It is hoped that they will feel free to spend a social hour
with us in the Association room any noon hour, or t o attend the Bible
class held there by Rev. Yarney at the "students' hour" on Friday
mornings or the one taught by Dr. Bowman in his recitation room at 3:30 on
Friday afternoons. At the election of officers last week the following
members were voted into the cabinet: President, Minnie Carver; vice-
president, Ethel Cook; secretary, Walborg Olson; treasurer, Ethel
Jones.
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 12
---------- 12 The Normal Messenger ATHLETICS With the arrival of
spring days the interest has turned to out door games. The boys'
attention has turned to base-ball and the girls' to tennis and boating. A
boating club has been formed with Miss Hallock as chairman while
Miss Sloan heads the tennis enthusiasts. Basket-ball games this year have
been few and far between. The boys have had two games, both of them well
played but whether they will have any more we cannot say. The only games
played by the girles are those between the Junior team and the Bellingham
High School team. Unless some playing is done soon between the class teams
the Kline cup, for which the classes worked so hard last year will go
back to the Kline Bros, who gave it on condition that the class teams
contest for it each year. The Junior girls have a team but so far have
found no other class team to play. It is to be hoped that something may
be done soon to keep the cup in the school. The young men so far have
made a good record in athletics especially in there foot-ball games last
fall. Although the scores of the basket-ball games were not so favorable
the work was good especially in their game with the Maroons. Considering
what little time the boys have to practice they have done remarkably
well. We expect to see good work from them in base-ball. AROUND SCHOOL
Say not all t h a t you can say; hear not all that you can hear; believe
not all that you hear, and whatever else you do, don't attempt to
tell all that you know. Miss Bessie Robertson has left school to accept a
position in the Port Townsend schools.
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 13
---------- The Normal Messenger 13 Miss Le Conte's "magic lantern
show" of pictures taken in the Yosemite Valley was highly appreciated by
the students. It was not quite a "sermonette," but the school is willing
that it should take the place of one. Dr. Mathes visited Olympia during
the recent meeting of legislature. A recent interesting talk in the
series of talks given by members of the faculty was the one given by Dr.
Moore on "The Birthright of the Child." At the beginning of the
semester a new student appeared in room 24 and said that Dr. Mathes had
sent her up to see Dr. Moore about her work. "Well what can I do for
you?" asked Dr. Moore, coming out of her office. "Why, er-nothing, I
guess, thank you," stammered the new student. "I prefer to speak with Dr.
Moore himself." Two of our young men have gone from us and are no more.
We are sorry to lose both Mr. Dunning and Mr. Potter. Mr. Dunning has
secured a position near Sumas and with him go our best wishes for his
success. Since the spring weather has begun Prof. Romine has been taking
his class in nature study on short excursions near the campus. The
faculty have a new fad—visiting country schools. The students are
getting anxious to know if they are looking for better positions
than they now hold or whether that is ust their way of getting in extra
holidays. Miss H (in drawing class)—"Make a sketch rf your favorite
animal." Mr. K — "Miss H, I-er-er-ah- I forgot ny mirror." Miss
G—"May we sketch a man?" Dr. Bo wan (after days of drill) —
"Where vas the contract theory originated?" Mr. Raymond—"I'm not
sure, but wasn't it vith Adam and Eve?"
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 14
---------- 14 The Normal Messenger Dr. B (patiently)—Was
that before or after Rousseau?" From a member of the faculty: "Which is
the more easier to understand?" Who said, "I didn't understand your
question Dr. Bowman?" Dr. Bowman (expectantly)—"I didn't
quite catch your answer. Miss M—"Poor man! Will he always be doomed
to celibacy?" Why does Prof. Romine have such a happy exalted expression
lately? Is it because"Hal-lelujah" is uppermost in his mind these days?
Mr. Dunning (waxing eloquent)—"I tell you I had the typhoid fever so
bad and I was that far gone that I could see over into the other world."
We are still wondering which world it was for he didn't seem at all
anxious for more than a look. One of the practice teachers in the primary
department of the training school had been telling the children the names
of the different stars and what they stood for. "Now, Ben-net, can you
tell me what very bright star it was that led the three wise men to the
manger where the Christ child lay?" "It was the star of
Bellingham," replied little Bennet promptly. CLASS NOTES SENIORS The
Seniors have received their pennants now and they are even prettier than
we had hoped. Nearly everyone in the class has one. The beautiful red
makes a good background for the figures '05 and the letters B. S. N. S
The pennants add much to the cheerfulness of our rooms. Several new
members have entered the class this semester. Miss Morgan, who attendee
the school during the first year of its history
---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 15
---------- The Normal Messenger 15 Miss Birdie Winchell and Miss
Anna Hanne-bohl, who were members of the class last year. The new class
pins have arrived and now where a Senior is found there likewise is seen
the class pin. The pin is rich looking, fully justifying the price paid
for it. The pin is the shape of a shield; the background is of black
enamel, bordered with a narrow strip of gold and makes a rich setting for
the letters B. S. N. S. and '05. The Senior class day "play" is under
construction, the thesis are being written, credits counted, and
dresses talked of (by some of the most certain ones) already and things
begin to take on a final look. But woe! Some in the class have a fatal
look already. What does it all mean? JUNIORS The Juniors are planning to
give an evening entertainment in a few weeks. The program
will consist of two farces, vocal and instrumental music and several
readings. More definite announcements will be given later. Our class is
sorry to lose one of our members. Miss Bessie Robertson, who is
leaving school to teach. At a recent class election the following
officers were elected: Pres. Alice McCullough, Vice-Pres. Helen Miller,
Sec. Sarah Van Rey-jen, Treas. Frank Knight, Sargent-at-Arms jordon
March. On the evening of February 9th a small but :nthusiastic crowd
witnessed the defeat of the Bellingham High School basket ball team by
gt;ur Junior team with a score of 13 to 8. tf iss Le Conte acted as
chaperone going with he girls to the Armory where the game was gt;layed.

---------- 16 The Normal Messenger BOOK REVIEWS Very few volumes
have reached our desk this month, probably owing to the fact that our
criticisms have been administered minus the sugar coat. We wish it
thoroughly understood that any remarks we have to make are given in
a helpful spirit and trust that they will be accepted in a kindly way.
One of the best of the recent publications is entitled, "A Trip to the
Portland Fair," written by the Seniors. The book has a neat little cover
and not only gives good descriptions but is brimming over with the
wit and wisdom for which the class is famed. Its only fault we think is
its lack of unity perhaps due to the fact that it was written by so
many writers. J. N. SELBY CO. BOOKSELLERS AND STATIONERS Have removed
