A clergyman was called out of town one Saturday on a very urgent call. He asked his friend, Rev. Jones, to preach in his absence. Rev. jones had a poor memory, so he had to employ a man to get under his pulpit and prompt him. It came time for his sermon and the man under the pulpit began, softly: Brethren, my text this morning is Moses. Up above- Brethren, my text this morning is Moses. The man beneath- Moses was an austere man, who made atone-V ment for the sins of his people. The man above-- Moses was an oyster man, who made ointment for the shins of his people. The man below-- Now you've gone to work and spoiled it all. The man above- And, brethren, the man went to work and spilled it all. -Ex. '

I8 THE LOTUS, and telling him to call within a week, he did not in the least suspect that Mr. Burton had been his benefactor. 'lf 21 Dlf PEI is Pls lYelcome back to New York, my boy, we are certainly proud of you and glad you belong to us, called out Mr. Hall's cheery voice, as ,lack entered the office one day about three years later, on his return from a XYestern city, where he had been conducting a big case, which he had won chiefly on his own merits. Thank you, sir: the welcome you give me is worth more to me than all the other praise I have gained. And now I have a surprise for you, we have decided that if you consent, the firm of Hall X Reed shall be changed to Hall, Reed 8: Harmon. Ch, Mr. Hall, stammered lack, this is too much. I-er-I- Now, now, you don't have to give an answer right this minute to that question, but to this one you must: Wlill you dine with us to- night ? .i, cf. .v. .-. ,y, -. . -t- ft- fr 4- fw is As That evening, when Jack was ushered into the drawing-room of Mr. Hall's hne Fifth Avenue residence, he was very cordially received by both Mr. and Mrs. Hall and their son, Harry. Later, in the midst of a conversation between the two young men, a step was heard on the stair and as a young girl stood in the doorway, Harry arose, saying: Come in, Cousin. Miss Messick, this is Mr. Har- mon, who is soon to be the junior partner in the firm of Hall iv Reed. At the double exclamation of Ethel-Jack, Harry exclaimed, W'hy -where-when did you two people ever meet? Ethel, why didn't you Rn tell me you knew him' Then, though Harry was only fifteen, he knew that Two's com-- pany, three's crowd, so he beat a hasty retreat and left the happy COUPIG 2110110 Anna M. Carter, 'I5. A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is that in which a sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper, until the sleeper which carries the sleeper, jum-ps the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleep for the sleeper, sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper. -EI.

The Thirteen Colonies were helpless against England until bound together by the Declaration of Independence, then, in the Revolution, they threw off the yoke of oppression forever. As in great countries, so in schools- unity spells progress. This issue also closes the sixth year in the career of the Lorcs, and in this time, through the diligent efforts of each board of editors, our little paper has improved, step by step, while, in most cases, the majority of the student body stood quietly by and looked on.

Next year, let us have team work, and make it a banner year in the career of the LOTUS. In laying down our work for the present year, the staff extends
