Vile pass on to Number Ten 3 this is a book of exaggeration. In it will be found a description of the Mess Hall Biscuit. His Home at Tampa and numerous other subjects of not very much importance. It is neatly bound with leather binding, but the paper used is of a very common kind. These expressions occur very many times on the pages, 'L If I was only to home on the farm, I am a table finisher by trade, buta machinist by occupation. We will now pass 011 to Number Eleven 3 this is a good one, but it has not been known to very many, as it seems to be of a very quiet form, and so far it has not been read by many people. There are some funny things, but not so many, as the author of it is a Chalker and not a writer. You will find on the worn pages such expressions as this, Mamma, can I go up-town ? Yes, my darling little baby boy, you may go, but do not stay more than ten minutes or I will have to come after you. O, go on 3 no, stop. VVe now pass on and see a very handsomely bound book-Number Twelve. This book is not an old book, and vet it is not unstained with finger prints. It is liked by all the boys, as it contains some very striking cartoons of different members of the college. On one of the soiled pages you will find a cartoon of a large number of brownies playing base ball and football, the faculty playing tennis, and last, but not least, a bunch of web-footed Normals paddling around in a puddle of water in the Prexyis back yard. He has very good taste, and is also a born artist, since he has drawn a picture of Heimberger comparing his head with a zero, since it is very round. VVe now pass to the unlucky Number Thirteen, a very sacred book this is. This book is known as Bridges Baby Stories for Little Boys. It is bound in black paper with gold bordering the edges, and has some very good cheap paper wrapped in it. It is liked by all the small boys OJ, and seems to be quite a favorite among the faculty. It is in very good ccndition, as it has been handled with care. I noticed particularly on one of the worn raw-edged sheets how he advises babies to go to heaven. He says: Never use tobacco, never drink intoxicating drinks, never swear and try not to do anything, justiso you do not do your friends, and your enemies especially, and you will be in the same condition I am in. CI feel sorry for the babies IJ XVe now pass to Volume Number Fourteen, Maud, the :FTIllS?!.l' This name got its origin from the Greek word Sphynxf' It is very hard to study, henceforth very few understand it. We have managed to make out one thing in it after so long a search, this was the morning when it fell down the stairs. O, pshawf' We now pass to Volume Number Fifteen. This is a very handsomely bound book with silver colored edges, and contains 501116 of the finest paper that has ever been put into books. It is known as Miss Peek's Advice on Etiquette. In it you will find some rules as, Never keep quiet. Talk all the time. U Never neglect to use all your lung power 1 it was given you to use. Never listen to other persons or you may forget what you Want to say yourself. We may depend upon these maxims, since the book itself is highly esteemed on account of its scholar- ship and intrinsic value. 45
