THE SPECTATOR 9 C So, fellows, beware of the ladies! Don't speak till you're sure you're in rightf' Then, if you proceed with due caution, You'll sure get the best of the fight A MEMBER OF THE '09 LEMON CLUB, Current Events N ATTEMPT has been made to revive the river com- merce on the Mississippi. Business men of the south and middle west are asking the government to undertake expensive dredging work to give a fourteen foot channel from Cario to the Gulf. The prospect is that the government will undertake this great work. With the proposed canal across Illinois from Chicago to the Mississippi the western metropolis would then have a continuous waterway for freight to the Gulf- and so to Europe and Asia. That which is of interest to the present Senior class, is the death of David Masson, a prominent figure in literary and educational circles, and the best informed man on Mil- ton's works. The world loses much by his death, for there is probably no other man living as great a Scholar on Milton. There died last week in a prison in Cincinnatti the greatest female crook the world has ever known. Cassie Chadwick obtained money from men all over the United States in large and small sums. She was the cause of the failure of numerous banks throughout the country and the loss of many a poor man's savings. Her methods were mysterious, and there are innumerable secrets connected with her life which will never be revealed. Contracts have been awarded by the navy department for five new destroyers. They will have turbine engines, and wiil be the most modern equipped.

At this juncture he drew himself proudly up, and, then with a conclusive shud- der, collapsed in the arms of Coach Bangs. F. MCM. B. 'o9. A Word to the Inexperienced We'd planned to go automobiling, My sweetheart, my doggie, and Ig And when, at last, came the day We had set, My spirits were Hying sky-high. We set out at nine in the morning, With a couple o' baskets o' grub , So that when we returned We couldn't complain That hunger had been all the rub . We'd made thirty miles by eleven, And decided to stop for the dayg So we ran the machine in a wood spot so cool, Just a little piece off the roadway. Then we hunted and fished and picked berries, Till the hands of my watch stood at one, When, with shouting and laughter and appetite too, We set off toward the car on the run. We finished our lunch in a jiffy, And then we strolled off for a walk, There was something I always had wanted to say, And I thought it a good time to talk. I slipped my right arm 'round my darling, And told her the love that was mineg But her answer quite silenced my rapturous plea, For here are her words in the fine: I care not for your love nor your dollars, Your asking my hand makes me sick, For Albert's my chosen admirer, And I think that you're naught but a stick. My spirits were low going homeward, My companion-she laughed and she sung, For her heart wasn't burdened with trouble and grief, And the thought she'd been hopelessly stung,
