U g We-urci' ol' L' D This introduces to you one Doog - a typical Tarheel of woolen texture measuring anywhere from a yard to a yard and a half wide. His Weakness is Foot Ball and Base Ball, Wherein he displays a deal of strength. From Davidson on down he is hailed as a diamond dancer and a conjurer of the hide- bound sphere. Being possessed of a romantic turn of mind and an appetite for watermelons, he migrated Southward not long since, and located at Jonesboro, but not before he had cultivated the very desirable acquaintance of Madam de Lex, through one years' residence at Chapel Hill. His idle hours are spent in a rehearsal of the assassination of Ceasar. The Personae of this little act are Ceasar - Shipman's Common Law Pleading, Brutus, and Doog with a large butcher knife.

I found that it Had all been meant for me. XI

And Lol after many days and many nights, it came to pass that a young Christian did journey on his ass to the University of Florida, during the third year of the reign of A. Sledd, saying I have come unto you to taste of the tree of knowledge. A. Sledd answered him saying: Awake thou wicked and slouthful Christian, the feast has been ready these many days, partake of the fruits of wisdom. The Christian did eat of the fruit and went his way rejoicing. Chris- tian is a quiet retiring sort of a fellow, but to those who know him, he is the hest kind of a friend, Yea Verily. A. S.

Portly, rotund, and truely Falstafiian, he would have heen warmly welcomed by Julius Ceasarg hut notwithstanding the age which he adorns, he is none the less a favorite with his contem- poraries. Like others of our numher, he once regulated the How of the Piersian Spring, hut tiring of his duties there, he is now here, slaking his thirst at the fount of Law. liver hear him laugh? My Lord and Ladies, he has a gurgle that takes the hoodle. His chuckle is contagious in its corporeal mani- festations. It has a vihratory quality which makes the epidermis loosen up and get there on hoth feet. Tradition is to the effect that it was largely through the instrumentality of Blackstone,s gleesome gohhle that the walls of Jericho were shaken down.
