HUMOR THE TRUE STORY OF CINDER ELLA Poor Cinder Ella was sitting in her tiny, lonely home. Two rivulets of tears were streaming from her heautiful eyes. The cause of all this consternation was the fact that poor Cinder was an orphan for whom her parents cared hut little. She was the goat of the family, and had to do all the dirty work, That night her sisters and hrothers had gone with her mother and father to a hop, Cinder cried hecause they had made her stay at home, to take care of her kid hrotherf' I I 1 I 'V P' Q , I Q I 0 TQ - 4' ln the midst of her gentle sohs, a fairy fanned her on the dome with a hrick. Cinder stopped crying immediately, and, looking up, she heheld the glittering splenf dor of the little elf. Wliziteli:i hellyfachin' about? asked the fairy. Cinder explained her plight to her dear benefactor, who told her to cheer up. Then the fairy touched a tin can and it immediately turned into a heautiful fsicj Ford. Cinder was overcome with joy and heeame quite looney when her little henefactor touched her rags and turned them into a heautiful dress of shining silk, studded with diamonds. Cinder was just ahout to step into her flivver and rattle away when a happy thought struck her. Fairy, she said, can you always make Fords out of tin cans? Surest thing you know, replied the elf. Then let's go into the husiness, replied Cinder and that is the reason why the price of tin cans has gone up and that of Fords has gone down in Cinder Alley, the higgest little town in this section of Cook County. 1.

ki 0 gl 3 ' J' I-n-I 1 -un -1 - PLUTO AND PROSERPINA Pluto, I guess, led a hard working life, And encountered much trouble in finding a wife. His dark, dismal cave where the sun never shone, Did not seem on the whole a nice place for a home. And the maidens, it seemed, by common consent Shunned the handsome young Devil wherever he went. Proserpina, daughter of Ceres, they say, Was out in the woods with her nymphs for a play. Pluto, who also was out for a stroll, Saw down in the vale, as he came o'er a knoll, The beautiful goddess with nymphs at her side, And Pluto decided that there was his bride. He had vowed ne'er to beg any maiden to wed, So he whipped up his steeds and kidnapped her instead. She probably thought of her mother and home, And the warm sunny spots where she oft used to roam. The flowers and trees and all she did love Wciuld have to be left in this bright world above. 'Twas but a short time till she'd be on her throne In the kingdom of darkness, abandoned, alone, But Ceres, I guess, was a regular mother For she declared Hades no place for her daughter. So good father -love let her out for a while, And for six months she gladdens the earth with her smile. LIENVOI Now if Pluto's own wife doesn't relish her stay In the Land of the Dead-I think I'll keep away. I shall watch all my actions and prepare lessons well, For I have no intentions of going to4sHades. CONRAD SEAGRAVES. HUMOR Page ninety-th1ce 'WL - - . vP w

May due reverence be shown them. Section II-We hereby give and bequeath unto the class of 1927, all our second- best excuses for tardiness, absence, and every other dearly beloved irregularity fthe best we retain, hoping that we may use them even in that higher existence to which we are so soon to be calledj. Section III-We bequeath a myriad of lexicons of the English language to the Speakers Club and to the debating teams, by virtue of which they can become more proficient in the use of the mother tongue, and through the aid of which they can voice their superncial sentimentalities in polysyllabic profundities. Section IV-We bequeath to the members of Mr. Wilson's classes, that good' natured gent1eman's short lectures and clever remarks. Section V-To those who follow in our footsteps, we leave our beautiful La Salle Street Campus, where they may have their daily noonfday chats. Yet we caution them to beware of one Mr. Wing, who has promulgated his aversion to smoking in that sacred and much cherished demesne. We do provide that the execution of this, our Last Will and Testament, be jointly assumed by the two very capable personages, Mr. J. E. Seney, and Mr. W. O. Webber. In witness whereof, we do hereunto set our hand this Thursday, the thirteenth day of May, in the Year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred TwentyfSix, to be effective immediately. A.
