After the people go to bed, I sit down iu the chair and with my head resting on my hands try to recall the different things 1 have just seen. My life seems like a dream. My entire high school career seems to have lasted but one day. Yesterday I was at school living a care-free life aud having good times; today I am out in the trying business world. No school boy can have the least conception of the phases of this life until he gets out into the business world. •‘The way of the transgressor is hard, and no one learns it quicker than the new arrival into the great systems of business enterprises of today. In order to relieve the dull monotony of business life, 1 go to a play or other form of amusement. But all diversions lose their fascination in time. Everything palls. All hut the recollection of my school days. That will remain a happiness imprinted in my memory as long as memory lasts. We eannot help admiring the never-failing patience of the teachers, together with their unflinching desire to compel us, even against our will, to learn somethng which will benefit us only. Our teachers knew what we needed to help us in business, but no one knows better than we. what a hard time they had convincing us. All will realize these things some day, and I can say for the rest of my class, as well as myself, that no matter where we are. or what, conditions may be, whether we are working hard at our daily toils or singing Love’s Sweet Songs, we shall always regard our teachers and schoolmates as our dearest and truest friends, and will forever cherish those good old days at Commerce High.

THE “MIXUP.” AT a Pardee given to the teachers of the High School of Commerce, all members of the faculty were present. Everything was proceeding in fine shape when Mr. McMyler happened to look out of the window and saw Mr. John-stone a dog. Mr. McMyler immediately notified the rest of the faculty. All became excited. Mr. Dutton became very Harsh upon seeing Mr. Gor-don his coat and hat and rush to the street. Becoming very Curryous, Mr. Harry Vson also rushed to the street, and upon arriving was asked by Mr. C'reig, Wei-Mer had not stopped the rush to the street? Being afraid a riot might occur, he shouted, “Mr. Geh,-ring for a patrol !” After the arrival of the patrol, all those involved in the mixup were rushed to the suffragette court, and a call for witnesses was sent out. After hearing several of the defendants, the feminine Judge announced that Mr. Ver would take the stand. The attorney Dutt-on this, immediately asked Iloo-ver was, and was told he had no right to question. Mr. Ver told what he had witnessed, and when the judge was through questioning him. Ver said, “Judge, Am-I-don?” Next the judge asked questions regarding the patrol horse, for it was a thoroughbred Corser, noted for its speed in any race. The judge then asked what color the horse was. Miss Ely said that it was Rohn. The judge then asked the owner if the Corser was very much hurt, and he replied, “Never mind. Miss, Heal be all-right in a few days,” and lisping, added. “Leave it to the Doctor, Ili’l-dreth the woundth and have them Ilcald in a week. Mr. Evans next to testify, rather balked at the idea of having so many witnesses and said, “Say. Madam Judge, just because I am in this case is that the reason why Miss Pitt-is and again, why Dit-Mer have to be brought into this?” The judge called it a social “mixup” and dismissed the case. The teachers all returned to their homes and reported for duty the next morning. ED. DAY, T3.
