THE RULE OF REASON. I do not like sulphuric acid, I am not fond of prussian blue, I cannot feel serene or placid While eating chlorine in my stew. I do not like to feed my boys on Arsenic salts, refined or crude- In short, I do not think that poisons Amount to very much as food. It's always been an open question, Whose answer I could never find, If copper oxide aids digestion, Or formalin improves the mind. l've never tried a daily diet Composed of acetanelid. I know a man that used to try it, And now he's sorry that he did. But I suppose that I must acquire A taste for viands of this sort, For I certainly don't desire To peeve the U. S. Supreme Court. And following the rule of reason, Of which said court, is very keen, With cyanide my soup l'll season, And spice my pie with Paris green. -V. B. MAURICAU, '16 220

So if you read a stale old joke Put out in modern guise, Don't knock and say, the thing's a fake, just laugh-don't be too wise. lt's a poor rule that won't work both ways. Some men fail because they are mis- understood: other succeed for the same reason. .-X jolly physician is often better than all his pills. .-X proposed epitaph: There lies jackson. flt was a way he had.j UNO. maiam. he ain't well yet, but he's out of danger-the doctor's stopped com- mg.
