And foolish uotiotl. Now, dear old .Aunt Jemimy has a nephew here at Bucknell who goes home and tells her many stories of collejje life. As I was sitting one evening with her by the fireplace, I ventured: Aunt Jemimy, what do yon think of Bucknell? Land alive, child ! I don ' t know nothin ' about that there skool down there ' cept of that there .seksion wat Jim belongs to. The Class of 1902, you mean, Aunt Jemimy ? Very like, Law, me I I never could git the hang o ' them high-cofluten names. Now what you mean by the Class of 1902 I don ' t portend to know. Why, Aunt Jemimy, that is the class which will graduate in the year 1902. That is the class I belong to. Auntie. Well, now, aint that singular? Guess that ' s a mighty fine affair, — that class. How I have to laff when Jim tells me o ' some o ' the things they do. He said once when they first went there the Softs got to botherin ' ' em a little, an ' he an ' some of the boys belongin ' with them ought to-ers ( ' 02-ers) went out an ' rolled ' em in the snow. He said it was such fun to wash their faces an ' get a lump down their backs onct in a while. I think that was so funny. Well, they must ' a been .soft ! Whv- I I never minded havin ' my face washed when I was a girl, but I suppose the poor things were housed up so studyin ' they were afraid of takin ' cold. Then he told how onct they took a couple o ' sledfuls, girls an ' all, and had a big dinner right in the middle of the night. The)- took just one Soft along — it seems they don ' t like them Softs — and, as I was about to say, they penned him up in a room when they got there. Oh, .Aunt Jemimy ! We had lots of fun that time. Well, now, mercy! Was you along? .Aunt Jeminiv proceeded: There is one thing I ' ve been a-turnin ' over in nij ' mind a long time, an ' maybe you can straiten it out. Jim said that when they got to be Softs they went off an ' had another big feast in the middle of the night. I was so disappointed. I never thought Jim an ' those other boys ' ud ever be Softs. 24
