i . When AI Jennings had served
"several years of his life sen-
tence in a Federal prison, he de-
cided to make a model prisoner
of himself in order to have a
, chance for a pardon. This he
did. For two or three years he
livpd as perfect a life as is pos-
v.sihiefor.. convict ..to. ..live—He.
. did, what he thought was right
' in 'every instance.
Jin; due time Mr. Jennings'
.: actions were noticed,.; and he
was considered for a pardon.
■ The prison warden gave him a
high recommendation, and the
Federal Board of Pardons was
favorably impressed. '
' It was' almost a settled fact
that Al Jennings, a notorious
Oklahoma bandit, was going to
be' pardoned. The warden told
Mr. Jennings one Sunday iriorn-
ing that the prison gates would
open for him to pass out the"
; next Thursday,
5', Mr. Jennings was a Very
proud man. All week he "mill-
^ ed" around like a young colt.
: But on Thursday,- instead of
; getting a pardon, he heard these
' words from the warden: "Al,
; i they have give(n you a blamed
scurvy deal ; there is no pardon
for you."
Poor transition.
About a week ago an extra
• good article was handed in to
.! be .published* in the J-Tac. The
editor actually uttered words
' of praise to the "thrilled" con-
tributor. Other members on the
J-Tac staff said nothing, but
they lqoked pleased—even the
. faculty adviser. 1
i . ; But when the paper was pub-
i>s.hed, the good article—by the
way, it was the Here and There
column,—had none of its artis-
tic originality; it had been add-
ed to and taken away from, and
how it was, ruined—a blamed
' " scurvy deal, I calls it. .

THE ROYAL CITY
By Elizabeth Zant
The'Royal City of the fai-
ries is not like &ny other
city in all the length and
breadth of the land. It is
constantly changing, be-
cause fairies do not like for
their homes to become mo-
notonous. When I tell you
that fairy-land is among
the clouds, you will not be
surprised that it is ever
changing to a new form,
,My favorite time for vis-
iting my" friends of this en-
chanted world is just after
the sun has gone from the
sight, of those who dwell up-
on the common world. The
queen of the fairies goes
abroad then to meet her
subjects. The winds have
whispered to me that no
mischief can be done on
earth when the royal queen
comes out to view her king-
dom; but woe -betide us
when she is ill, for then the
thunder-storms rage over
the land and work havoc
everywhere.

PUBLIC SPEAKING DE-
PARTMENT TO PRESENT
PLAY FRIDAY, NOV. 16
The Public Speaking Depart-
ment is to present a new one-
act play, "Enter the Hero" on
Friday, November 16. Jean
Rogers is a scream in his dra-
matic part as Harold Lawson,
Can you imagine his sending
Leonaj Patterson, who plays the
role of Ann Carey, telegrams,
romantic letters, candy, flowers,
and even a diamond ring? It
is all so real that we catch our
selves wondering if it- isn't -fcrue
in life. It is worth the entrance
fee alone to see Leona on her
knees before a man. Just like a
young sister, Merle Collins,' in
the part of Ruth Carey, persists
in telling all of the love affairs.
Ann Maness plays the part of
the patient mother.
"Enter the Hero" was first
produced in San Francisco by
the St. Frances Little Theatre
Players, We a'll know that any
play Miss Lillarcl presents is
going to be good. Don't forget
Friday, November 16, 1928, at
seven thirty in the College Au-

OPEN HOUSE AT GIRLS'
DORMITORIES
Some |;ime within the near
future the doors of the girls'
dormitories will be open to the
student body, the entire citizen-
ship of Stephenv'ille, and all
other guests who wish to attend.
This is an annual affair, for the
purpose of permitting the pat-
rons of„_Tarleton the opportun-
ity of seeing the condition of
the homes for our girls. At the
present time there is one dor-
mitory, the Mary Corn-Wilker-
son Dormitory, and two Annex-
es, one constructed in 1923 and
the other in 1925. '
This' Open House is always
eagerly looked forward to both
by the girls who live in the dor-
mitories and by the visitors.

convention. The convention was
held in a large assembly room at
Simmons University, The delegates
from each school sat together,
Tarleton was proud of her; group.
Rooms and breakfast was given
free by the kind Abilene people.
A wonderful program was plann-
ed for all four days with an in-
spiring theme that can not be for-
gotten; "Magnifying Christ." The
talks made by students from the
different schpols were very inspir-
ational. Magnifying Christ in Sun-
day School, magnifying Christ in
B, Y. P. U., and best of all, magni-
fying Christ on our campus were
some of the subjects discussed.
Each student who attended that
convention received a great bless-
ing, It is our aim and our desire
to magnify Christ on our campus.
We thank Mrs. Ramey, our faculty
adviser, who made it possible for
some of us to go.

CAMPUS MEN GET A TREAT
■ ^ %
Dean Davis was host to the em-
ployees of the college farm and
campus on Friday evening, Novem-
ber 2, at. a supper given in the col-
lege dining hall. All employees
were present'with well-whetted ap-
petites; since they had been ad-
vised to postpone the evening meal
until the hour of gathering.
They were met at the door with
a hearty handshake and smile,
characteristic of the Dean; and at
once the feeling of a family* gath-
ering was evident.
A regular workingman's meal,
yet fit £or kings, was devoured with
no formalities; for as has been
stated, it was a family gathering.
After every one had gotten his fill
of hot biscuits, cornbread, and pie;
Dean Davis, in his true manner,
stated the purpose of the gather-
ing. He stresser cooperation, (to
render Service), courtesy, and work
for something other than the com-
pensation reeeivqdv'-Responaes were
made 'by Mr. Bland, chief engineer
of the power and heat departments,
Mr. Richardson, foreman for the
student labor, Mr. Dpyle, carpenter
foreman, and a unanimous expres-
sion of thanks and approval to the
Dean for the good fellowship of the
gathering and the fin.e supper. The
writer, personally, believes in the
song of the Lions Club. Here's
hoping there will be more such
gatherings, even if the same par-
ties are not the guests.
The following were there to the
feast on time:
J. A. Bland, chief engineer, de-
partment power and heat; W. P.
Anderson, assistant engineer5 de-
partment power and heat; Ben P.
