FAREWELL ANNOUNCEMEIE: 14' t DEAR SCHOOLMATES: It has always been the custom in past years for the Tatler to write a farewell, would-be-witty note to his Classmates. As it was, is now and ever shall be my policy to try to be different. I will not write a last Spec of the Spectator. I had not the chance to re veal my identity in Old Hughes. and I therefore take this opportunity to sign my name as Tatler. iu- surance inspector and statistic collector. 1' ask you to kindly remember me as one who tried to develop the humorous nature of each one of you, or to keep in condition that nature, if it was already developed. Whether I have succeeded or not. is merely a matter of opinion I bid you all God-speed in days to come, and hope you have received my efforts in the light in which they were offered. Remember me. tag the Maine said When it started for the bottomy R. L. BUHRMAN, TATLER. WW3 CURIOSITY SHOP Anxious :-No. the spots on the sun are not caused by prickly heat. Constantz----A is right.

informed that your-got three throws for five, I made an at- tempt, and succeeded in getting one, which I sold to some easy mark a little later for 14 cents. Right across the way was a. lemonade stand, In charge of Margaret Barkley and Bess Broerman, and seeing me pass, insisted on my taking some, which I willingly did, and while I was standing talking, along came Raphael Isaacs,walking' with an Annual under his arm, and very busily engaged in an argument with himself. He was talking so loud that I could not help hearing what he was saying. It seems that the young men of Hughesville were thinking very seriously of giving the young ladies a dance, to repay them for one that had been tenderd them many Ueapl years ago. but somehow they could not agree as to the amount each should pay; some were willing to give ten Cents, but the majority thought that too large a sum, and would not volunteer a Lickle, so Isaacs was appointed to ask one of the ladies how much she had given toward the other dance. but she had told him that it was none of his business. At this he had Flown into a passion, and vowed that they should not give them a dance at alll A few minutes later, Harold NEavc came along and in- vited me to accompany him to the games, and thinking this a good chance to have my admission paid, I grabbed his arm, and we started off. We did not stop to talk to anyone on the way, so arrived at the gate in a short time. Max Fried- man, the door-keeper took our tickets. and called an usher. who happened to be M. Miller. He ran ahead so quickly that we had some trouble in following. After we were seated. we heard the cries of Edna Ringold, Here you are, get your programmes right here, Every event marked, high lope walkers, sweep-stake horses, matched mules, spotted hogs, and the baby show, open to all not over twenty. Here you are, cost you but a nicklc. a half dime, a five cent piece. We purchased. or rather Harold purchased one, and we started looking over it, but before we had hnished, a loud bell rang which announced the opening of the games We were all attention in watching the display on the tracks. which lasted for some few minutes. Then the prizes were announced. and Rosa. Schear was awarded the blue ribbon for having the fattest spotted pig, and Rickcll the best pair of mules. Now the center of attraction seemed to be a little stand brought up in front of the grand stand. which held the beau- tiful babies. up for inspection. Ye gods! Could any one ever imagine a more terrible sight; some I know would be dee lighted to see hfty, yet posing as under twenty. I made a side remark to my friend, but alas, one of them heard it. and before I had time to utter a final prayer for salvation, I was scalped. I felt my head go off with a terrible 'slash and fall on the Floor, I opened my eyes, and found the sunlight streaming in through the window of my cabin, and looking at my clock. found it long after rising time. My alarm had gone off some time ago, and yet I did not feel like I had had any sleep. I ruhbed my eyes, tried to think, but my brain was dustyV so I sneezed and jumped out of my bunk, and dashed a bowl of ice water on my face, and then my senses gradually came hack, and I was still sailing in the Atlantic, with nothing like Hughesville in sight.
