JUNE. 1926 3 THE WANDERINGS OF A NEW STUDENT (Apologies to Homer) As soon as bright-throned morning came, a clear-eyed seventh-grader arose from his bed and spoke thus to his fair-haired mother, saying. “Prepare me with great speed, abundance of bread and rosy red fruit for my mid-day meal.” Then his mother did thus address him in winged words. “Thrice hast thou wakened me from deep slumber, disturb me not again.

A NIGHT ON AN EXCURSION TRAIN My vacation in Chicago drew to an abrupt close when my unde broke the news that he was forced to go to Minneapolis that Friday night on business. As I was to have no companion on the train from that big city to this, it was soon decided that I should go with him. and before I realized what had taken place. I was on an excursion train, homeward bound. Since this was my first experience on such a car. my attention was soon drawn to the many odd types of people on board. One bent old woman seemed intent upon telling people’s fortunes with cards. She was very amiable and seemed always ready for conversation. I was very anxious to obtain a better view of the woman and my excitement was readily aroused when she drew three bejeweled hatpins from her broad-
