AN ODE. Mathematics may be easy 3 Q I have often heard it saidj But I've worked 'till I'rn dizzy, And I've wildly bumped my head.

We'd lived together but a year, Too soon, it seemed, to see Those gentle hands outstretched and still, That toiled so hard for me. My waking thoughts had been of one Who now asleep had dropped, lTwas hard to realize, my friend, ' My Ingersoll had stopped! There is an awful lot of difference between being broad minded and flat-headed. Now that mail is being sent by aeroplane we will have to write our letters on ily-paper.

Murphy, after being away for some time, rushed over to see his old friend Riley. He arrived there just as the pallbearers were carry- ing his old pal out.
