Great and glorious were the achievements of this pair, and had they the proper support they c-o-uld make touchdowns against theiworld, for Tommy Cole- man says so, and he's not a junio-r, either. Charles,Lyle-Daniels of Pennsylvania is a man who has se-en things. himself.-3. He is a bro-ad-minded, deep thinker, often thinking aslow as Q,Q. his diaphragm, brave and unflinching in times of peril, and, I dare say,'wouQd as readilyface. the lions infront of the Art Museum as did Daniel the lions of old. For a time in-the early part of his course he handled hash in a restaurant for the sole purpose of deter- mining its chemical composition and itseffect upon the teeth. He has unraveled the mystery, and that long unknown compound is n-ow within his power. This wonderful addition to science is no-t all of the results of Dr. Danie-ls'. research. He has also discovered an anti- dote against alQ kinds of hash, even a.gainst the variety known as boardin-g-h-ouse hash, and will have it on sale soon, la.rge size, SI, six bottles for 35, and to anyon-e who can prove that there is any- thing poisonous or injurious to health in his antidote, Dr. Daniels offers. to give the complainant three more bottles free of charge. The Doctor assures us that by using his antidote people ma.y eat all kinds of hash and not only live, but thrive to the fullest extent of human capability, and he thinks that with its introduction hash will soon become the only recognized food of the American people. A man who says little but thinks much, who is small of stature but a giant when measured by his ability, is Charles David Eaton. He is certainly carving his way to fortune and to fame. Filling teeth is mere play to him, and he does it so easily that most of his patients fa.ll asleep as soon as he begins to- work up-on them and do not wake up until he presents the bill., Edward Stanton Gregg. The great three in one-dentist, doc- tor and violinist-has not yet decided whether he will pull teeth with the violin, coctor with the rubber dam, or fiddle with the forceps. He will no doubt use the hddle a.s a l-ocal anesthetic in painful extrac- tion, will rosin his bow with liver pills and fill teeth with :'Air from Bohemian Girlf' There is nothing like correla.tion, and the mo-re you get correlated the more fascina.ting the mixture and I dare say that Prof. D1'.'G1'Cgg,S will be sufficiently fascinating to make 116 Y! fl

next, in my feeble way, endeavor to chronicle the events in the life of one of W'isconsin's illustrio.us sons, Henry Baumgarth. His life is a picture of innocence and bliss. His disposition is as a sum- mer dream, 'as sweet as the perfume of the rose that floats upon the dewy air of a summer morning at ten minutes past four. Nothing can disturb this sweet serenity, not even the necessity of making over a gum section+plate about fourteen times. So great was Henry's love for his native hills and vales that all last year he boarded about half-way between Chicago an-d-lVIilwaukee, that he might be as near them a.s possible. He now lives in the city and is beginning to even enjoy, at his leisure, the time he used to spend in walking. Henry is a wo-rker, and is one who will stand at the fro-nt, and were I a. prophet I should predict for him as glorious future. . Carl Rudolph Brandt comes from Iowa, but from his dignity and noble bearing o-ne might feel certain that he belonged to the royal family of the Kaiser, in fact, in form and feature, he resembles the Emperor, except for the mustache, which he does not wear. He assures us, nevertheless, that he could raise one just as fine as VVilliam's, but he doesn't want to. He is becoming very popular as a dentist and has to book his patients weeks ahead. Many people have been deceived in Mr. Brandt by the story which has obtained notoriety of his being the Count Von Bismarck Qpersons believing it no-t hav-ing heard of the Count's deathj in disguise studying the pro- fessions and trades, as did Peter the Great. Wfhatever may be re- fported in the future, I here make public the fact that he is not Bis- marck, and that there will come a time when Carl Rudolph Brandt's name will stand so far above Bismarck's that the difference cannot be measured with a millimeter gauge. ' Any account of this class would be incomplete without the life of Charles VV. Bushnell. Wfhile others are struggling' for fame he can sit inihis easy chair and feel content, for all there is, is his. He is a prodigy in his chosen profession and such exhibitions of his skill did he give in- his native hamlet after his Hrst year that it was with dif- ficulty that he was able to get away from his patrons to put in another year at schoo-l. Peter Alexander Campbell, like Alexander the Great, has a love for war, so he, along with Frederick lVilliam McCallum. enlisted in the football team and did credit to themselves, to their class, to their 115

the frigid oscillations reverberate to and fro between the vertebro- -cranial articulation and the co-ccygeal terminus of one's neuralis canalis columni vertebratum. Paul Ira Hayes, from Nebraska, was one of the most innocent 'little boys it has ever been our lot fto see until one day he threw a wet towel in the presence of Dr. Eckley. The act called forth ,a reprimand, and, like Benedict Arno-ld, his spirit rebelled, his little heart was at once on fire, a.nd at that moment degeneration set in and Ira has gone from bad to worse. Of course, his folks know nothing about it, and we are trying to keep it from them until Dr. Daniels' antid-ote co-mes out, which we believe will have a beneficial effect upon such maladies as Irafs, as well as upon chronic hash-eaters. The train is coming around the bend. Toot! toot! johnson! the great railroad magnate fro-m Duluth. He is undoubtedly the most popular man in the class, for he never comes into the room without receiving an ovation. His friends often grow almost frantic at his approach, such is their devotion to him and to his train. 'How different arethe conditions when one stands within the august pres- ence of Dr. Keller, Demonstrator. A feeling of awe comes over one at the thought of that mighty mind which shall dominate the world. As the Doctor feels more at home amongithe seniors than among the juniors, the senior history will undoubtedly contain his bio-graphy, so I need not dwell longer upon it here. The scene again changes, and we behold a picture fr-o1n sunny Kansas, with still a touch of the glow of the setting sun upon a west- ern cornfield upon it. Joseph Francis Kernan, a youth with talent to burn, stands forth before the world a living example of what the mighty west can produce. Curtis Io-hn Burwell Kitchen, com- monly known as Stop-Cock Johnf, the great inventor from To- ronto, Canada, will take a back seat for no-body. He holds valuable patents on rubber ball-oons and other dental instruments, and is bound to make himself felt among the dental profession as well as by his patients. ' Talk abo-ut the Kansas sun! It can't touch in brightness the smile that always spreads itself across the face of Wfilliam Freeman Rich- ards from California. It is such bright spots as these among human- ity that keeps it fro-m despairing, for who could feel sad or gloomy with such a smiling countenance near? II7
