Side-tracks With Boys. BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Bob Richardson: Yes the effect would be decidedly fetch- ing, also striking, if you should turn your coat around the same way as your collar. No objections whatever to parting your locks in the middle. Burton Smead: In answer to your inquiry, we have inves- tigated the matter, and have found that Corliss Sa Go. make the desired 611- inch collar. H. B.: To acquire a flow of language, step on a tack in your stocking-feet, or stub your toe against the bed. Mark Mennell: Don't be so bashful Mark. The young ladies adore you. Adams: Yes you are right for once. Since your whiskers have refused to grow in spite of all you have done, it would be a good plan to graft feathers on your face . instead. T. J. C., '99: A book of effective expressions may be ob- tained in any book store. Of course, 'fOh, my dear f99 ! ! !,', accompanied by slashings of the air, tearings of the hair, and a tragic facial expression, produces a stunning effect, but variety is the spice of life you know. C. Niles: Poor fellow, judging from your poem, I can- not make her smile, you must be in a deplorable con- dition. Perhaps you will succeed if you show her the poem. Try it. Among the Freshies. Fond Mother-I am so delighted to find you reading the Annual for I know that with such a book as that for your guide, your thoughts will be led to the loftier things. What is that which you just read to your friend, my son? The Sonny QC. Bartonj-lill read it, mother. 'flt was glorious to see Colie I-Iade drive over that heap! Keep it up, old boy! 'J Miss Peck- Surely, now I know that you never went to the grammar grade.

The Tail, of the Midnight Ride. Listen my children and I shall tell, Of the midnight ride of Willie Worrelle, He rode on a pony so swift, so fleet, That Willie could hardly keep his seat. To Hellas fair, 'neath the evening skies, Galloping on our William flies, Where 'mid those heroes of endless fame, The pony, browsing, becomes quite tame. You know the rest, how in class next day, William alone was happy and gay, He-the star pupil, he-Vance's pride. This is the tail of the midnight ride. Side-talks With Girls. BY ASH RUTHMORE. Lily F...z, '99: Certainly, a petrined pig-tail would look very pretty suspended from your bracelet. If soot won't stick on your eyebrows, try barn-paint. Cecelia: Drink sage tea. Probably in this manner you might be able to imbibe some wisdon. Yes, the begin- ning and the end are equally important. No, King George the third did not write the Declaration of Inde- pendence, McKinley did. B. von B.: The Melville Penninsula mentioned in the geo- graphy is not in Purdue. Mabel A.: A haughty manner is apt to discourage the young gentlemen. Carrie Armstrong: No, it is not improper to carry his pic- ture in your watch, provided you do not look at it more than steen times a day. Pricilla: We are indeed sorry to learn that you have lost the power of speech, but for the benefit of others we will suggest no remedy. Dorothy Bonner: It would be perfectly proper to swear at Mr. Vance, if you do not swear out loud. Bessie Gannan: To eat ice-cream from the same plate with a boy is not strictly a penitentiary offence, but to use the same spoon might make you acquainted with the interior of the house of correction.
