Weaver brigades. Emperor Kalstrom declared war on Irving February 16. When you our stories read, We are sure that you will think No better stories than these Were ever written with pen or ink.

I hope you won’t take advantage of the opportunity to whisper.” Geo. B. Hub.—“Opportunity knocks but once, Miss Alten.” Geo. Watson entering the study hall after the chemistry class had returned from the tannery— Who’s dead?” Mr. Henry in chemistry class—“The body contains about 2 lbs. of phosphorus, enough to make 6000 boxes of matches.” Conrad Punker—“I could make one match.” Mr. Henry—“You’ll do pretty good if you do.” Mr. Matson—“The teachers will have your schedule cards and will straighten you all on them.” After Mushrush’s announcement in the study hall, Freel suggests that it is a good thing the school is run on an honorary system. A Junior, as Ernest Smith left the study hall—“He took just four steps from Miss Kahler’s desk to the door. I counted them.”
