Demosthenian Grinds. . When can their glory fade? Griffin, did you say? Oh, yes, his one fount of knowledge. ,Says he: Any carpenter can build docks, that is, of course, any carpenter who builds docks.

for disturbing the peace, and as his words had no result, the President was forced to the sad necessity of iining the said Mr. Prentiss tive C55 cents. Ah, Mr. Prentiss, we all hope that you have repented, and, further, that you have paid the ive cents. But, while We are talking of money, it must be recorded, sad as is the task, that two of our members were once accused of stealing ten thousand dollars from the Eighth National Bank of Toledo, Ohio. But they were proved not guilty, thanks to the able defense of Mr. Corkery, Mr. Bittner and-part of the money ! These tribulations, however, were all forgotten in the rousing meetings and debates of those by-gone heroes. As we pass down to a period within the memory of living man, which, be it understood, is the time of our own member- ship, another trial will be found recorded on the Annals. This one had the real yellow-covered iiavor. Money box 3 a dark night, detectives galore 5 weary vigils, and-the burglars were not convicted. Thus it goes on. Doubts, disappointments, failures, new hopes, and, many times, success have been our lot. And all Demosthenians will wish with me that the arrow so propitiously launched may Hy on and on, higher and higher, with our brothers, to whom we now say Farewell, ever watching its course, until at last it stands quivering in the very center of the sun.
