h My life in college has been full of adventure, and many are the exciting tales I could relate if I had the time. I have been lost, borrowed, traded and swiped until I did not know who was my rightful owner. Ihave lain under the bureau amid spiders and dust for weeks at a time. I have been dropped on the floor scores of times, often barely escaping the slop-bucket, and one night I was even thrown at a Tom-cat that was disturb- ing my master's slumbers. g During the day- I lie on the shelf or table, or in a chair, but at night my work begins, and I am often kept out until twelve o'clock. My life is somewhat rugged, but I like the excitement and never have I wished myself back in the big store where I spent my earliest days. 4 , I have been at St. John's now three years and have lost much of my former beauty, though I am by no means worn out. My master left collegelast spring and since that time I have been in a low, dusty room that they call Doc's OfHce. I sometimes fear that I will end my days here, but cherish the hope that some young fellow will find me and restore me to my former life. p A ' I am, V Faithfully yours, A. PONYE. ' WW 185
