One day Mrs. Mills offered to give him an infallible rule for such cases. lt is a rule , she said, That for twenty-five years has never failed me. The Ifreshie expressed his delight and waited. Mrs. Mills resumed: The rule is to write your 'e' and 'i' exactly alike and place the dot half way between them. L'nanin1ously adopted by all D. ll. S. pupils. A SHADY QUESTION Hazel R. swears her hair isn't red. How's that, Lester? XVell. you see she says its Syracuse, just because its near- Auburn. HEARD IN PHYSICS Mr. XY.: XYhy does the full moon as it rises appear to be oblong with the major axis horizontal Mac Y.: The Earth was squashed flat at the poles. maybe the moon was too.

He let it drop upon the floor. Miss Owen woke up from a snore. She looked around: she saw the lad Then scowled. and frowned. and looked quite mad: The seniors they began to smile: Miss Owen then tried to beguile l'he little boy who dropped the book XYith that Awful Staring look. Robert XY. reading an essay on Scott said something to this eftect: Scott introduces hermits, battles. lunatics. and girls to revive interest.
