Bell-' 'It's a box-shaped cavity where the brains ought to be. A young lady who was visiting school one day recently, deliberately walked to Mr. Turnerls seat and sat down beside him. We noticed the change on Mr. Turner's countenance but inferred that he was well pleased with the situation. Did Mr. Carpenter enjoy his stroll on deck the first night? Perhaps Miss Speare did.

THE BOUNCER I5 looking-out for her supper because in- stead of translating The Summer was nearly gone in Cmsar, she read it The Supper was nearly gone,', this together with other instances nearly proves the statement. Q Miss Sawyer-fTranslating Frenchl Do you remember how the silent lake skimmed the swallow? WANTED An extra period in which to read love letters. W. Tompkins Mr. Perkins-CTranslating Latinl And they fastened boards three feet thick together with pins. Miss Gower to Mr. Fletcher- What are you eating candy for? Ifletcher- A cold.

Miss Gower-Cln Physiologyl Why is it that animals can move their ears more easily than people? Miss Frazier- Because they are more in practice. Mr. Carpenter- A fellow's happier going up than when he's coming down. It seems that the Washington Pajama Parade was especially interesting to the lookersson when Mr. Fletcher appeared. Mr. Carlson-Always in Dreamland. Miss Hamilton- They told Ivanhoe that he must take ot? his head but he didn't want to. v WANTED A position to manufacture gold bowed spectacles. R. Fletcher Did Mr. Vose enjoy the first part of his Washington trip? Ask him. For the latest French pronunciations inquire of Mr. Perkins. We wonder if Miss Sawyer has found out what provender means yet. The Seniors thought that lemons were cheaper in Madison than in Washington and for that reason they took a good supply with them. Miss Gower- Will you dictate that to nie? Miss Young- Shall I read it? Was a Senior ever known to lose a bet?

There was a young sport named Pease Whom the boys all delighted to tease, He went out in the park One night after dark ' And was returned to his home by police. Two persons named Mary and Kate Used to fight both early and late, The rows were so bad, In fact, they have had No settlement up to this date. The fact to relate is quite sad, Miss l,Vi1ber was taken so bad, When the Steward, said he, Will you have some more tea? She replied, I don't want what I've had. Putt's trip's a success 'tis allowed, Of his conquests he surely is proud, If you ask him today You'll find that he'll say, . Two's a plenty, but three is a crowd. There was a young lady called E As athletic as she could beg She jumped on a bed And broke it down at the headg The climax you plainly can see. There was a young girl from Augusta Whom Victor thot sure he had crush- ed her, He followed her 'round All over the ground, My! Poor Vic was sure in a fluster.
