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

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

f Then there's Smally, who- tried to raise a mustache, but it failed to meet the app-roval of the class, so it was removed-that is, half of it was removed, and Smally did the rest. That wasnlt the worst of his troubles, fo-r he was visited.-one night by a band of desperadoes and hold-up men, who sto-le the brass balls off his bed and left him to pay the landlady a suitable recompense for them. Fortune seems to have been against him in the past, but his star is rising, and the fu- ture has a brighter hue than the- past. George Zederbaum, under whom George Dewey received his training which prepared him for the battle of Manila, will always shine as a beaco-n light up-o-n the pages o-f the nation's history. - Jose-ph Lippert is a famous plate polisher. He can polish a plate in one hour, and at that rate turns o-ut twenty-five a day, which, at ten cen.ts apiece, net him four dollars. His desire is to accumulate more money that did Dr. Evans in France, and fro-m his' own account he is making rapid progress in that direction. And there are others. Griffith, who stayed out of school to get married, and VVabash Blumenthal, Sissy Caldwell and Little Childs, f'Bessie Hess and Sleepy', Kenyon, Lasker, the Butcher, and Blacksmith Upland, Dad Maginnis and Curly,' MacMil- lan, Glad to Know You Poo-l and Johnnie Bull Spindlog the Smiths, who are always getting mixed, a.nd the Th-omases, the mighty giants, and, after all of these, it would seem that there could be no more, but there are. The ladies! It is utterly impossible to describe a lady and do her justice with a pen -or lead pencil, therefore I shall not attempt it, but will simply say that our ladies are ladies o-f rare talent and ability. Young, handsome and accomplished, they make their influence felt am-on-g the men of the class. Their attainments in the dental, pro- fessio-n rank high and their patrons may be sure of being well served. And, now, to close, a.nd I am frank to say that when I come right up against it, I find it harder to close than I fo-und it to begin. If it were a no-vel I should have the heroes stabbed and the heroines die for love of the stabbed heroes-g then l'd have somebody get married, perhaps Joliet Tommyf, and live hap-py ever aftergbut it is nfot a novel, and history doesnit end that way, so I see no way for me to do except to break it square off and leave the end in such a condition that if my successors should ever take it into their heads to revise mv work they can simply solder on as many additional chapters as they wish.
