Clyde Schmoeller is the champion heavy-weight biscuit maker, James Forbes makes coffee with no grounds for complaint, and the other day Paul Scott churned some cream until it turned to butter Scotch. You’ll have to give it to them; they are a fine outfit of Seniors.” But just at that time some one in the laboratory threw a current from the electrical machine out the window, and the pewee flew off in pursuit. “Some nymphs there are too conscious of their face. —Daisy Joesting. l
