_I H E Thanksgiving

season, that most in-teresting and jovialof good times, the

one delightful oldPuritanic festivitywhich custom hasso well decreed shallbe observed by theAmerican of to-day,is now upon us. Notalone does it appealthoroughly t o t h e

Englander, and with peculiar strength

to the Bostonian, and therefore to us, whosecollege home is placed in so patriotic an at-mosphere, but also it is not lacking in loyalcelebration at the hands of our Southern andWestern cousins, and (may we be pardonedfor the allusion) in their response to the in-trepid callings of the inner man.

Already the mass of Technology men havebethought themselves of the conventional tur-key of the morrow, and are about to hiethemselves to other climes, where truestpleasure will be found in entire forgetfulnessof the dull routine of work. Already the cor-ridor of old Rogers betokens the advent ofvacation.

The minds of all must revert with especialgratitude to those far-sighted individuals towhose wise provision, during the early yearsof our history, is due the Thanksgiving re-cess which has brought such a deal of enjoy-ment into the Technology world. It is in-deed not necessary for THE TECH to recallthe advantages of this short gala period.With several weeks of industrious grindingat an end, and with prospective hard work inpreparation for the Semies before us, it istruly fitting that the Calculus and the Ap-plied, the Lab. Notes and the Drawing Boardshould be laid aside. Thent let every man atTechnology cast away all thought of his usualdaily cares, and let truest enjoyment in learn-ing be found in entire forgetfulness of it; thus,we dare say, the short recess will more per-fectly fulfill its purpose than in any otherway.

To every man at Technology, whetherfortune favors him with a Thanksgiving athome or not, THE TECH extends its heartiestwishes, and in the true spirit of the times,it appears in a new dress with substantialgreetings.New

THER TECH

HE Ninety-seven "Technique"Board, following the exampleof its predecessors, has endeav-ored to draw out latent talent in

- f the lower classmen by liberalprizes for best individual effort in variousdirections, literary, musical, and artistic. Itis to be hoped that every Technology manwill give his hearty support to our collegeannual and do all in his power to make itssuccess greater than ever before.

HE prevalence of many unfortu-nate impressions in regard tothe work and methods pursuedat Technology leads us to com-ment upon the well-intended,though misdirected, e d ito r i a 1

which appeared early last week in the col-umns of the Boston He]rald. The writerwas evidently deeply impressed by the highstandard of excellence required of our studentsas a prerequisite for graduation, and eitherthrough over-enthusiasm, or lack of properinformation, allowed himself to be led intostatements which are open to severe criticism.

The following paragraph fairly representsthe tenor of the article:-

The Freshman class every year is like a Scotch pud-ding. It contains young men of all sorts and conditions,some of whom are prepared to enter upon hard work, andwill remain, but a large proportion of whom are unequalto the schedule before them. Within six months after theFreshman year begins, a class of 400 will be sifted down toone half.

Nothing could have been further from thetruth than was this paragraph, as is shownby the fact that President Walker, in a letterto the Hecrald correcting some of the mis-statements made, said that the number of stu-dents actually requested to leave the Institutelast year was eight!

Again: great stress was laid upon the im-portance of passing examinations, and uponthe severe mental strain required of a student

in maintaining his work, the writer evi-dently being unaware of the importance at-tached by the Faculty to good daily records,or of the special and five-year courses ar-ranged for students finding it inadvisable totake the maximum amount of work.

While we thank the Hercald for its goodintentions, and for its expression of unquali-fied respect for our institution, we feel thatthe publication of such an article tends onlyto further distort the imperfect image of Tech-nology in the eyes of those unacquainted withher, and we sincerely regret the appearanceof a sketch as overdrawn and unreliable asthe one which lately marred its pages.

-HE famous and historicold University- of Vir-

/7 imginia is receiving, as itcertainly deserves, awide-spread sympathy inits recent severe loss by

fire. In the destruction of its chief building,the University has lost an honored monumentto the genius of Thomas Jefferson. Amongthe many distinguished alumni and profes-sors. whose portraits adorned its celebratedlibrary, not the least was one of our founderand first President, William Barton Rogers,who for nearly twenty years was a memberof its Faculty.

HE Brown-Dart-mouth game at Prov-idence on Thanks-giving Day bids fairto be one of the

-iffil closest and most ex-citing contests of the

season. Brown's pretty work against Yaletwo weeks ago and the winning by Dart-mouth of the championship from Amherst andWilliams shows that both teams are capable ofgood football. If they are in good condition,nothing but the closest kind of a battle may beexpected.

THE: TEOCH8

-ZP * XT may be ratherlate to mention

;Pff a nay r u m o r s.. '-,j ,4;,- ;, . w h i c h m i g h t

-~.~__: -._ have been made; - regarding the

-7.';*---'" -- m ~ ' playing of 'Var-sity men in the

class game, but since this point has been soprominently brought out in the columns ofTHE TECH, it seems an excellent time to statejust what the intention of the Football Asso-ciation was in taking such action.

In the first place it was thought that morematerial might be developed for both classteams by excluding 'Varsity men from them,thus greatly enlarging the field for choice of'Varsity players for the following season.Then, too, if either class chanced to havemore men on the 'Varsity than the other, aswas the case in the '97-98 game, the chancesfor winning lie obviously with the class whichhas the greater number of such men,-a factwhich seems to introduce an element ofunfairness.

Before this measure was put into operation'Varsity practice was often hindered by thewithdrawal of lower-class men, who left toplay match games on their class team. Thisaction of the Association was merely an ex-periment, and now that it has had a chance tooperate, there remains the question whether itwill be sustained in the future or not.

_ .' oORE interest is being takenthis year in gymnastic exer-

\i ~'i<j , ~cise than heretofore, especially' -|~ 1 by the Freshmen. Director

Boos's classes are well at-i t,~ , tended, and a similar training

may now be obtained to thatgiven at other colleges. Two

new classes have been formed this year,-onthe parallel bars and the horse; also new ap-

in good repair. The most serious drawbackat present to the efficiency of our gymnasiumis the lack of facilities for the proper heatingof water; a matter which has been mentionedbefore, for which it is hoped that a remedymay soon be provided.

Notwithstanding the various disadvantagesunder which our gymnastic work is carried on,all should appreciate the benefit to be derivedfrom a systematic course of exercise; and,despite the difficulties which beset us, weshould not lose sight of the advantages whichintelligent gymnasium work provides not onlyfor ourselves, but for the advancement inathletics of the college.

E have been informed thatduring the Harvard-Mich-

, " ~'"igan game, played somedays since at Cambridge,a small number of Tech-

~ -r_- nology men, presumablyfrom the West, desiring to applaud their Statecollege, made use of the Technology cheerfor Michigan, in attempting to encourage thework of that eleven. In consideration of thefact that the several Harvard athletic andsocial organizations, together with the AthleticCommittee from the Harvard Faculty, haveever extended to Technology and to her or-ganizations the most hearty, uniform, and hos-pitable courtesy, and inasmuch as the cheer-ing did in no way represent the true feeling ofour college, the action is wholly blameworthy,and is open to severe censure. We do notcriticize sectional feeling, but we believe thatthe method by which it was shown was mostunfortunate. THE TECH strongly urges thatin the future no such thoughtless action willbe indulged; it is at once at variance withthe true sentiment of the mass of Technologymen, and surely savoring of thanklessnesstoward a university from whfich so much ofbenefit, so much of courteous hospitality, has

paratus has been purchased, and the old put

if. iY'~ UR athletes are turning their at-"l\ tention to track athletics now that

the football season is over. Theseason opened with the annual

..- , cross-country run, in which a/, lamentable lack of interest was

~' evinced, there being only eight>, entries. Owing to the press of

college work, Technology hasnever takeri the prominent place in athleticcontests which is her due. This fact shouldserve to promote enthusiasm in the indoorclass championshlips, which are scheduled totake place the first of December. A series ofgames similar to those held last year will begiven again, as they were of advantage in de-veloping new material.

jE announce with pleasure the election ofMr. Lester Durand Gardner, '98, to

the Editorial Board at its last meeting, Mon-day, November 25th.

Resolutions of the Class of '96.

INASMUCH as it has pleased Almighty Godin His divine providence to remove from ourmidst, on the 2 9 th day of July, i895, ouresteemed classmate and beloved friend, Mar-shall Mar Dickson,

Be Zt Resolved, that we, the Class of '96,express our great sorrow and our heartfeltsympathy for the family thus greatly bereaved,by causing a copy of these resolutions to beentered in the minutes of the Class, and to bepublished in THE TECH.

For the Class,WILLIAM A. KEITH,

JOSEPH M. How.E,HARRY P. BROWNE.

OM M U N IGAltIONS.

The 'Editors do not hold themselves resionsible for opitn-ions expiressed by correspondents.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:

As an active and interested member of the Class of'98, I wish to correct a statement made in an editorialof your last issue regarding the annual class game.

While there has been much discussion, and is nowmuch feeling regarding the decision made by theFootball Association, disqualifying 'Varsity men fromplaying in the class game, there is no ground what-soever for the rumor that '98 has threatened to dis-acknowledge the authority of the Association byplaying 'Varsity men. Furthermore, in the gamesplayed by '98 during the present season no 'Varsitymen have taken part.

Her Birthday.

EAREST ETHEL," hisletter began. He

-tfaRB HI had never written toher this way before,but he was feelingperhaps a bit reck-

. less that night, andwilling to take the

Dr / consequences. Thegirl had never treat-

ed him on anything more than a very friendlybasis, and that was what he told himself againand again, as his thoughts ceaselessly re-curred to the bright blue eyes and laughingface that had so completely fascinated him.He acknowledged to himself that she couldnot possibly have found in him any qualitiesmore worthy of her notice than in the count-less other men she knew, and yet he couldnot always satisfy himself that in her in-most heart she really held for him only thecommonplace feelings of "good friendship."Good friendship with her was something hecould not be satisfied with now, for his ownsentiments told him every hour that the feel-ings he entertained were far from being ofsuch a Platonic character. His emotions werenot to be mistaken. He loved to be nearher. The touch of her hand thrilled him.The magic of her smile told him that for hersake he would do anything. He delightedto walk by her house at night when she wasall unconscious of his presence, and, in hissentimental way, he almost wished for a fire,for burglars, for any sort of calamity thatwould afford him an opportunity to show hisbravery, to attest his devotion. In short, Ar-thur Tisdale's passion was palpable enough.

He had just penned the superscription tothe letter. It was just a bit of a note whichhe was sending with a bunch of roses on herbirthday. The box and the letter havingbeen duly dispatched by the messenger boy,Tisdale settled himself back in his easychair.

A little reflection soon convinced him thathe had gone too far in calling her "dear-est." No word of affection had ever passedbetween them, and his mind instantly picturedall manner of distressing ways in which, asa reward for his impetuousness, she mightintimate that their friendship might as wellbe discontinued. He was a sensitive man,and apt to magnify the importance of casualthings; moreover, this was his first afaire,and he never happened to think that perhapsthe magnificent roses that accompanied hisnote might serve to palliate his offense in theuse of the superlative. And so in his igno-rance he cursed himself for a fool, andevolved all manner of schemes for overtak-ing the messenger before the accursed noteshould be delivered.

But fidgeting over anticipated complica-tions, and trying to find a way out of his im-agined difficulties proved a nerve-wearingpastime, so seizing his hat and coat, hestarted out. Across Newbury Street he hur-ried, into Exeter, and up Beacon, till atlength, before he realized where his footstepshad been tending, he found himself at her door.

In an instant his mind was made. A ner-vous ring, and he was ushered into the draw-ing room, where he awaited her with tremblingheart. At last she came, beautifully gowned,and holding in her hand an envelope whichhis quick eye instantly recognized.

"I have just received your lovely flowers,"she said, kindly, while she fastened one ofthem more securely in her bosom. "It wasso good of you to remember me. Every onehas been most kind, and my birthday hasbeen indeed happy."

He bowed his acknowledgments, murmur-ing confused words of congratulation.

c "But what a funny note you sent," shecontinued, while Tisdale suffered the indes-cribable tortures of the anxious seat. " Ihardly think you realized what you weredoing," she added, with a furtive twinkle inher eye, which he failed to notice.

" I know," he began hurriedly, " I had nobusiness to do such a thing, but I hardlyknew what I was about, and before I cameto my right senses the letter was gone. Ididn't mean to send it, and yet," with' an ap-pealing glance, "II did mean to; and now,-now you will think I am a presumptuousidiot, and deserving of nothing but your ridi-cule," he groaned.

" Oh, no," she answered, cheerfully, " notquite so bad. I should never think that.But you must really be more careful," sheadded, archly, as she returned his note, "forsuch things aren't quite right, you know."

He walked slowly homeward, his handsburied deep in his overcoat pockets, one handnervously clutching the wretched note thathad precipitated the difficulty from which heflattered himself he had escaped with so littleloss of dignity.

As he reclined in his armchair shortly af-terwards, he mused thoughtfully on the eventsof the evening. "s I guess," was his musingremark, between the puffs of a favorite briar," I'll have another look at that note, just to seewhat I did say." As he crossed the room tohis coat a scrap of paper on his desk chancedto attract his glance. " Dearest Ethel," it read."Gad,"' he almost shouted, "what have 1 beenup to? " He rushed to his coat, snatched theletter from the pocket, and gazed in horrifiedwonder. The words swam before his eyes,but he saw enough to recognize, "ArthurTisdale, Esq., Dr. Two Dozen Mermets,

$I8s."It was his bill from Galvin's.

The Freshman-Sophomore Struggle.

ii HE Sophomores and Fresh-men of Technology met in

2// 11 the annual Cane Rush andFootball game at the South

,AdzgS ~ ~ | t End grounds last Wednes-a|iK ,,1 day, and broke with honors

I/N' ~ even. Although the class

~,~-_~~ Iof '98 is justly pleased overits victory in the cane rush

by 22 hands to 7, the '99 men have everyreason to be proud of their eleven, which notonly piled up a score of i6 to o against theiropponents, but made their class the first ineight years to defeat the Sophomores at foot-ball.

Although the usual fight to fly the class flagon the flag pole of the grounds was dispensedwith this year, on account of the serious in-juries incurred by last season's participants,class spirit was strong, and many little rushesand incidents kept the spectators interesteduntil the game commenced. There were thetwo German bands that have gradually becomefixtures in inter-class games, and the usualnumber of transparencies and signs with in-scriptions and mottoes which do not look wellin print. And as the two classes marched intothe grounds headed by bands and grotesquelyarrayed in every conceivable costume, froma football suit to overalls, or a drill uniform,they presented a very interesting sight.

On each end of the grand stand a class flagwas hung, while the tall staff, where somany fierce struggles have been fought inyears past, was bare. The classes took theirpositions on opposite sides of the field andgreeted the football teams with enthusiasticcheering. The Junior class gathered on thegrand stand and gave the Freshmen a heartywelcome as they trotted upon the field. Be-fore the opening of the game and during thefirst half both classes engaged in rushes, andeach directed its efforts against the other'ssigns. The- sophomore signs disappeared

first, but Barber, '98, saved his class bysnatching the last '99 transparency from thehands of an unsuspecting freshman and dash-ing across the field closely pursued by half' ofthe Freshman class.

THE GAME.

The surprise of the day for every one wasthe excellent showing made by the Freshmenin the football game. The '99 eleven proveda dark horse, and completely outplayed '98 inevery point of the game. The Freshman teamshowed the results of hard and careful train-ing and successful management. The teamwork was decidedly better than was expected,and the individual work of the half backs wasbrilliant. The Sophomores on the other handplayed slowly and showed little team work.They were especially weak on the ends andthe backs did not keep together. The bestwork for '98 was done by Wilder, who playeda remarkably steady game and made most ofthe gains for his team. The Sophomore linewas very weak and the freshmen brokethrough and stopped end plays with ease.

The game began with a kick-off to Nolte,and the Sophomores worked the ball out tothe forty-yard line where it was lost on downs.Then '99 took the ball and by end plays,principally around right end, carried the ballover the line for a touchdown. A difficultgoal was kicked by Ferguson, and the scorewas 6 to o.

Nolte kicked off and the Freshmen carriedthe ball from their twenty-yard line to thesophomore goal without losing it once. San-chez and Ferguson made beautiful end runsand there was very good interference aroundright end during several of the plays. No goalwas kicked and the score stood Io to o for '99.

Nolte kicked off, and then came the mostexciting part of the game. Ninety-eight gotthe ball on downs on the freshmen ten-yardline but could not gain for three downs, thenpushed the ball to the six-yard line. Herethe freshman line held firm and the ball

91

changed hands. This was the only goodchance '98 had to score, and the ball went outto the center of the field again.

In the second half '98 woke up and playeda stronger game. For some time after thekick-off the ball remained near the center ofthe field and neither side could gain. Then'99 began to force the ball down the field andfinally scored. A goal was kicked, and thefinal score was I6 to o in favor of the Fresh-man eleven.

THE CANE RUSH

The most interesting event of the afternoonwas the cane rush, and as soon as the Fr-esh-man Team had been carried off the field bytheir delighted classmates, the men beganforming for the final struggle. Ninety-eightprobably went into the rush with a do-or-diespirit, realizing that it was the last chance towin a Freshman-Sophomore event, and boundto retrieve the defeat it had suffered at thehands of '97 the previous year.

As usual, the Freshmen formed in concen-tric circles around the cane, making a com-pact mass of men about 200 strong. Eachman in the crowd had '99 stamped on hisforehead and cheek in red ink, to preventmistakes during the fight.

The sophomores arranged themselves inthree wedges, with skirmishers out to preventthe '99 men from stopping the first rush. At

a signal from H. W. Allen, the official, thewedges started, but the freshman eleven didsuch excellent work that none of them struckwith any force, and the Freshman rings wereunbroken. But the Sophomores were not dis-couraged at this first failure, and in sevenminutes the rings were completely shattered,and every one was fighting for a place onthe cane without any regard to the rest. Intwenty minutes the upper classmen stoppedthrowing the faint-hearted back into the tur-moil, and forming a circle began pulling offthe outside men. In a few minutes the canewas reached, and '98 was proved victoriousby the score of 22 hands to 7.

After the rush '98 formed and marcheddown Columbus Avenue, headed by the om-nipresent band, and gave vent to class pridein steady cheering all the way to the Gymna-sium.

advisability of undertaking a smaller numberof subjects. The Secretary will be glad tomeet and advise any such students during hisoffice hours.

The Army and Navy are now so well rep-

resented at Technology by sons of officers in

closer relations with the teachers of those

preparatory schools from which the Freshmanclass is derived, a blank has been preparedby the Secretary, stating that any informationwhich will assist in estimating justly thequality of the work of each new student wouldbe gladly received. This action has been

taken with a view, also, of reducing thechance of failure, or of misapplication ofenergy.

The leaves have left forsaken boughs,And dreary whistlings now are heard.

But ere the frigid North has sentIts frozen fleece to fill the air,

And chilling winds with Winter's blastHave spread their tremblings everywhere,

There is a time that's filled with joyWhich other of our thoughts give birth,

While -leaven itself smiles sweetly downTo grace our home upon the earth.

For when Thanksgiving Day is here,-Most blessed of all November's days,-

With Nature's bounty blessed, will allLift heart and voice in Heaven's praise.

The girl I love no more."

My pretty girl; you seem to meThe fairest ever seen,

So daintily by nature crownedAn undisputed queen.

My witty girl; thy face recallsThat choicest repartee

Which wvas, alas, too often aimedAt no one else but me.

"The girl whom I adore" is writBeneath thy winsome face;

But as thou art my '"sister" now,Be that its only place.

My winter girl; wind, snow, and iceAnd sleigh bells ringing clear,

Thy picture brings again to mind,E'en now 'tis rosy, dear.

My summer girl, a perfume rareOf flowers you bring to me,

And words, which were, we both are glad,Heard but by moonlit sea.

The girl I love no more" is writ'Neath a space as blank as air;

May cupid hasten to eraseEach outline showing there. T. E. T.

TO MY LADY.

Thou evening star, pure and soft-shining lightAfar in depths of misty, violet sky,Thou'rt not more softly fair, nor pure, nor high

Than is my love. Ye fi agrant lilies white,Whose perfume rare the wayward wind of night

Reluctant bears to me with plaintive sigh,Ye're not more fragrant where ye droop so shy,

Than are her thoughts and maiden fancies bright.~Whene'er I think of her so fragile fair,

With a quick throb of pain a prayer I breatheThat angels round her their white arms may wreatheTo keep her safe fiom each insidious taint

Of wickedness and every earthly snare,And bear her onward till she's crowned a saint.

- ~ ~~ H TEC 99

IN anticipation of the imminent morrow theLounger has been impelled to ponder upon his bless-ings. Though it often happens that blessings arepretty well disguised, the Lounger feels that the maskhas been sufficiently lifted from his own to render anidentification complete; and so, whether his causesfor rendering thanks be many or few,-a matter the de-cision of which should, perhaps, be left to the all-wise future,-he is willing to incur the responsibility ofclassification, trusting to luck and to his good geniusthat no revision will be necessary. A material bless-ing is, of course, the presence of the sainted birdwhich has become so essential to the proper observ-ance of the feast day. The Lounger is possessed ofconsiderable patience, but he trusts that the reaction-ary period of soup and croquettes will not be undulyprolonged. He likes a variety of diet, and he is, inconsequence, in a permanent attitude of diffident ex-pectation.

As for the vacation, the Lounger notes that it ispossessed of its old-time briefness, and so all that onemay do is to hope that Monday may be as far distantas the calendar allows, and govern one's self accord-ingly. The great cane rush is over, at any rate, and theLounger is satisfied with the worthy spectacle provided.The Freshman proved an easy mark for '98, and theSophs will doubtless carry themselves with all possibleflourish until the rush is forgotten. "Next year," saysNinety-nine, sententiously; and were our next year'sFreshmen within reach the Lounger would be promptedto utter a warning word. He feels of course appro-priately pleased at the success of the rush, and trulydelighted at the delicacy displayed by the manage-ment in announcing that ladies would be admittedfree. This was polite, and marked an indication ofgallantry not always witnessed at such ceremonies.

The Lounger need scarcely express his thanks tovarious learned gentlemen, his instructors, who con-tinue to regard him in stlaztu pupi/ari, and who have

been singularly appreciative of his painstaking effortstoward learning. To the Faculty, of course, he isgrateful for their continued interest, and for his weeklybi/cets toaIx and " see-me-at-once " cards, withoutwhich he iwould have felt indeed neglected; he isglad in addition that he has not found it necessary tocall much attention to the vagaries of some not overpopular functionaries. The Lounger's eye is alwaysobservant, but at this convivial season he has kept itlooking for other things. The Lounger is glad, too,that under the hands of the Juniors the next "Tech-nique " bids fair to be a volume of brilliance unsur-passed, and he notes that the grind fiend's efforts arenow, as in the past, certain to amuse, instruct, edify,and otherwise enliven the Technology world.

The Lounger rejoices, also, that the Seniors seemto be in a fair way to elect their Class-day officers.If the vague rumors be true, he anticipates some livelytimes to come, but if Ninety-six escapes the usualunsavory political methods, the Lounger will havespecial cause to rejoice in an unexpected purificationof modern Class-day methods.

The new lunch-room girl seems to have ingratiatedherself into the giddy Tech man's heart, and to havedisplayed charms of manner heretofore unsuspected,all of which is of course a proper subject for gratula-tion. The Lounger is also glad that esthetic Bostonsees its reputation justified in the artistic grouping ofthe subway refuse, that the Boylston Street sidewalksare not more than usually impassable to pedestrians,and that Paderewski failed to recognize him the otherafternoon at the Christian place over the way. Hefeels grateful, too, that the subscriber is still extant,and he wonders whether that essential person realizesthat he is only one hundred and fifty out of twelvehundred odd. The Lounger's benison on the sub-scriber, and may his life be long and happy !

A particular cause for thanksgiving is that severalmisapprehensions have been recently corrected, andthat the Boston Le-wral/, always so accurately mis-informed on topics relating to Technology, has re-ceived and published a dignified reminder from ourPresident.

After all these reasons for thanksgiving, who shallsay that the Lounger's vacation does not'deserve tobe a merry one? He knows himself that of whateverenjoyment there may be in it he will miss as little aspossible; and trusting that all his friends may find thejovial feast a worthy day for celebration, he will retireto a proper contemplation of the joys to come.

Is Cupid a good Archer?

Though oft his arrow hisses,And all his aims seem fairly true,

He's alwvays making Mrs.-University Courier.

On pianos and organs she lbs.,Making strange and mysterious sds.;And the watchman calls out,To see what she's about,As lhe goes on his cold, nightly rds.

- University Chrionicle.

A PULL.

I love to sit and watch the leaves

Fall fluttering to the ground,For nature has a " pull " on them,

As Isaac Newton found.

La Fayette.

AT THE FOOTBALL GAME.

' The umpire called a foul just now,But I see no feathers," said she.

" Uin,-ah,-yes, the reason is'Tis a ticked eleven ! " quoth he.

Th e Unit.

SHAKESPEARE'S MISTAKE.

"' The apparel oft proclaims the man,"As Shakespeare once foretold,

But since women are wearing bloomersHis words no longer hold.

-- The Lafayette.

VERY ROCKY.

" Did you ever," said the fair young thing,As they gazed on the starlit heavens,

" Did you ever stand at nightOn a rocky bluff- " " You're right,"

Said he. " I've stood on a pair of sevens."

-Stevens Life.

LONE-LAND.

Around us lies a world invisible,With Isles of Dreams, and many a Continent

Of Thought, and Isthmus Fancy; where we dwellEach as a lonely wanderer intent

Upon his vision; finding each his fearsAnd hopes encompassed by the tide of tears.

-Bachelor of Arts.

There are, at least, two reasons whyMankind to church oft goes:

The qld attend to close their eyes,The young to eye their clothes.

- Willzian's Weekly.

LOVE'S CHEMISTRY.

The chill, swift winds are alkaline:They turn my love's red lips to blue.

But kisses, acid strong are they:They turn blue lips to a reddish hue.

-Student Life.

A RACE NOT TO THE SWIFT.

A college course a race course is,With a difference, though, 'tis said,

For those who trot the fastest pace,Come rarely in ahead.

- Vassar Miscellany.

A FIN DE SIECLE GIRL.

She studies Henrik Ibsen "' to cultivate her mind,"And reads Shakespeare and Browning through and

through;Meanwhile she knits her browvs-it is the only kind

Of fancvwork this modern maid can do.-Concordiensis.

She has a stutter quite unique,Her face mere speech defies;

She, quite impartial, rolls her R's,And then she rolls her I's.

But what care I for trivial faults ?Regrets love can appease;

She's given me her promise, andShe has her roll of V's.

-Yzale Recored.

ONE APPLICATION OF IT.

" Fow dare you, sir, to be so bold?"Inquired the blushing miss;

' Come, give me a good reason whyYou just now stole that kiss."

Said he, "'I have a reason, andIt is a good one too;

Do unto others as you wouldThey should do unto you."

-Yale Record.

N'EST CE PAS?

It's easy to sing of your love,And easy to worship above you.

But here's where the trouble comes in,Will poems persuade her to love you?

It's easy of kisses to prate,And easy to picture embraces; ;)

But when to fulfillment it comesYou'll find that far different the case is.

- Wrinkle.
