THE LIBERTY BELL Elin' Hllizztrh On a bright and sunny morning Ou it morning bright and fair, lkrought Chick-a-wee-kee- To our school house A lizard small and brown. Lizard was a harmless creature Harmless as 21 little child, But the girls were scared of Lizard, Ifrightened most to death were they And the boys they thought it funny To see them scream and run away. So little Mac the awful torment Took the lizard small and brown And into Miss Tee Hee's lap he threw Threw it hard as hard could be. And Miss Tee jumped and hollered Hollered as loud as she could yell Aud the lizard small and timid Tried his best to run away: But the boys they caught poor lizard Caught the innocent small thing And into the joke box put him Put him for a joke, you see And Miss Chase she found the lizard Found the lizard small and brown, She couldn't see the joke about him Couldn't see the joke at all. So she took the lizard with her Took him with her where e'er she went And at noon she gave him freedom Turned him out into the garden And the lizard ran rejoicing, Ran away among the flowers, And the hors they hunted greatly Hunted widely for the lizard But they never found poor lizard Never found him high or low. And although the lizard really. Dldn't get into this hook I have substituted fairlv This short. jingle in his stead. l23l

'Tllli lil IZERTY BELL Nevertheless int.o the hall the crowd proceeded. Where shall we get a knife, now, said Harold. Oh, I guess my pocket knife will do, answered Everett. The melons were cut one after another until everyone had all he could eat. Fun and merriment abounded and no one thought. of cue o'clock approaching or that they were eating in the hall against rules. The hall lookcd like a melon parlor. Rinds lilled the coal scuttle to the top, a pile in the middle of the floor. and more were scattt-red about. But nevertheless with all the merriment the hands of the old clock in the assembly room slowly ap- proached a quarter to one. Suddenly the gate loudly hanged. Can that be the Professor? cried a Senior wit.h terror in her Voice. Let's run. suggested seine Fresh- man. if he finds us. what then? No that will never do, the upper class men explained, 'tYou have to suffer with us. For the lirst time durins: the hour silence reigned. Quickly the students glanced around the hall. Their faces turucd pale with fear. Alas! rinds t.hat some mischievous Freshman had dared to throw lay on the door. Seeds were scattered abroad. Each student realized that punishment. awaited him for disobey'- iug rules. The girls voices trembled with fear. The boys laughed, they knew not for what. l32l If they could only dispose of the rinds. Put them in the stove! No they could not do that for they would be found. ltuu! No never, for their our mis- chief. Harold picked up the coal scuttle in the excitement and started for the door, but alas! he stumbled and out rolled the rinds -:ver the floor. No time was left to pick them up for footsteps were now heard upcn the stairs. Louder and louder the noise grew and closer amlroached the foot- steps. Each one stood anxiously waiting, tl6llll'bllI1g,' with fear. At last the door was opened. t 0h! it's only dear little Pat. How you have frightened us. cried the girls in relief. Just in time for the feed, shouted the boys and bang! bang! the rinds flew at him. Just came in to tell you the Professor is coming. stamniered Pat. Quickly the students flew in every di- recticn carrying the rinds out of the hall in every conceivable way. Some were for- gotten in their excitement which were found by the ever critical eye of the Professor. ' After everyone was quietly seated in the assembly' hall at one o'clock, those who had rartaken in the merriment were ordered to report at the office after school. Xlfhat occurred that afternoon on the carl-et has never been divulged to this rlav.

As I sat poiing over a dry essay by some renowned author or other, in the ounce waiting for the Prof. to come in and give me a re-instateuient for absence of nay beiore, a shrill voice cried out, The meeting will now come to order. That was .Myra Pearce and no other. What was the matter now 'I l looked around me. Yes, everything was quite natural, a stud- ent body meeting was evidently proceed- ing. A very serious matter, began Myra, ls before us and- Bliss chairman, came from the Prof. bounding from his seat. Alr.

I sat up in my seat and stared about, every scholar was glaring at me. What ailed me anyhow? Surely I was gllilib' of some terrible crime, but I couldn't ex- actly think what it was. A motion to that effect, screamed the chairman. I never moved. indignantly declared I grasping my desk with a death grip. Prove it, demanded Richard waving his chock hook at me. I felt in my desk and triumphantly brought forth my notebook. and began reading my History notes. She is right, admitted Myra, be- cause her notebook is more than two- thirds larger than the student body note- book. Now, proceed to business. I demand a sentence, screamed Miss Chase. Remember the predicate precedes the subject in an interrogative sentence, warned Mae opening her German book for corroboration. ln other words a sentence precedes an execution, analyzed Myra. I say I move that the matter be re- ferred to the Executive Committee, cried the Prof. I second the motion, some one cried. lt has been moved and seconded that she shall be referred to the Executionersf' announced Myra. I gritted my teeth and squirmed. Ready for question? was query. Question! came answer. All those in favor signify by saying 'Aye'. 'I heard Myra say, and held my breath in fear- Aye, aye, from 3 few. Those opposed, 'No'. No-o-o, loudly. Motion is defeated. Could I be- lieve my ears? I never heard sweeter music. Here is your re-instatementf' I heard the Prof. faintly say. I eagerly reached forth my hand to take it and poked the Prof. in the back, who was just entering the ofTi-ce. My eyes flew open upon hearing him scream in a very undignified manner. Chairman, student body and Executive Committee had vanished and there lay the detcsted essay before me once more, and the Prof's familiar voice saying sternly, Miss Dickinson. did you bring your ex- mise?
