Fred johnson In the month of October, of the year 9, Chemistryx became king of Com- mercia. He was heralded amidst much joy and tumult, and for several weeks of his reign his court enjoyed much pleasure. But then Chemistryx determined to show his power, and the court had to bow to his bidding, even to the proof of their strength, which came in December.

QDryden.j 296 ZBun'ts for beniurs Don't endeavor to look too wise, it might give you an owlish expression. Don't look too supercilious, it wrinkles the nose. Don't hold your head too high, you might stumble. Don't develop the habit of writing your name' with class numerals at- tached, it mars the beauty of blank spaces. Don't appropriate too many privileges, you might be called down. Don't under any circumstances, say the class, remember there are other classes. Don't be too shocked if you're asked if you are a junior, 'tis an honor. Don't hold us underclassmen in too much contempt, it might annihilate us and deprive you of victims. a CLARA PFISTER, '11, 42

Chemistryx had decreed that Silicato be punished, but he not being present, Coala was the one who had to be chastised. This so angered Coala that he determined to help Silicato in his revenge. They aroused the anger of the other mem- bers of the court and the cry of revenge was in the air. Copperito, the sister of Chemistryx, who knew the reason for the trouble, told her brother. In order to right the wrong, Chemistryx determined to take the entire court to Rolling Millio, a visit which proved to be of great enjoyment. But Chemis- tryx again angered the court by demanding of them a show of their strength, beauty and wisdom in june. This the court refused to give, and they de- serted the King, who then had full sway over the kingdom, there was hence- forth no one to dispute his power. STELLA BECK, '10. if hx gl.
