their search, but at the last moment Dewey made a supreme effort and with several buns and rolls, skilfully directed Qwhich had been collected at various time-s in VVest Madison street, at 8 o'clock in the morningj, he landed them in the enemies' boats, where they were eagerly partaken o-f by the warriors, who were, of c-ourse, soo-n placed ho-rs de combatf' Bacon, as might be expected, can be seen with whiskers untrimmed and tobacco juice zig-zagging down his calico shirt fro-nt, and with fingernails untrimmed, urging on a pair of dilapi- dated looking na.gs, attached to a riding plow. In his wake follows Christie dropping corn, when not engaged in extracting a la.rge hunk of Battle AX from a larger hunk of Battle AX. Addison, Baker, Bane, Dodge, Welker and Gibson will be found banded together as missionaries in Hindostan, but practicing en-ough dentistry to enable them to purchase their rice. As for Blaisdell, he has abandoned dentistry altogether, and may be seen on a stump among the- mountains of Tennessee, explaining to a large and admiiring audience- iQamon'g whom, with wide-o-pen mouths, may be fo-und Grinde, Hart, Kerfoot, Lampe, Sanberg, Wfick and Hughes, all of whom are attended by their better halves. with reproductions in miniaturej that old moss-covered doctrine of I6 to I. Blaisdell always did hang on till the last dog was hung. Pierce, W'ad- dell, Packard and Edgar-r are a quartet of indomitable spirits, and are seen astride fiery steeds, charging thro-ugh a small town in XVestern Texas, preparing cavities and hlling them in such an expeditious man- ner as would startle even Doctor Black. Burbank and Jenkins, the heavyweights, are starring ina dime museuni in San Francisco, their specialty is putting' up with one hand a large infiated rubber bag, on the outside of which is painted in large letters: XNeight, 5oo pounds. In this connection we might say that Calvert has occupation in a similar place of amusement, but does not perform such feats as the brothers just mentioned. He simply sleeps. Un the outside of the cage in which he reclines is posted the placard: Sleeping XVonder from the N. U. D. S. Runner is running a small store on NVest Madison street, the store being ornamented with three shining balls hung in fr-ont. Those having seen the way in which Runneris hat sometimes gets down over his ears. and also- the way in which his hands perform evolutions in the air, will not be surprised at his choice of vocation. 137

A FRESHMAN'S PROPHECY ' IN making this prophecy of the class of IQO3, I wish to state most emphatically that it is not my inten- tion to run in o-pposition to Daniel or Elias, or any other of the old seers, but unless I am greatly 1 - mistaken, these things of which 1 will speak Win come topass. No doubt, some of the members will be much disappointed when they find outlined the paths in which they will tread leading to diverse places most' unthought of at the present time, but as the stars read, so shall their signs be fulfilled. On account of their being greatly obscured from sight by pumice dust and gases arising from the lathes and benches, it will be impossible to foretell the destiny of each individual member with perfect accuracy, but as the signs are seen dimly outlined through the dense clouds ascending from the lab, we shall be as precise as possible under the circumstances. In silhouette, looming before us, we see the gigantic form of Welsh, who is doing police duty on' South Clark Street, while directly under his nose we see -Churchill taking a watch from an outside' pocket and transferring it to an inner one. As the clo-uds shift slightly we see the Mullen broth- ers, alias 'fCherry Sisters, doing a light fantastic step at the Hay- market, to the accompaniment of bones in the skilful hands of Huber. Nor is this all. ,We- see Murphy and Wololsoii, dealers exclusively in bromine, shaking their Ests in each oither's faces and emphatically shaking their heads as if in denial of something, but wha.t the trouble is we cannot make o-ut. . Afar off in the Fiji Islands is seen at small skiff, being stealthily propelled into a small bay. Cn closer examination we find it to be no other than Dewey, who is seeking to emulate his illustrious name- sake, by sinking, with his bow and arrows, a number of boats, the occupants of which are in search of him with the object in view of having tenderloin for their supper. Sad to relate, they succeeded in ' 136 I

Heyman and Land are teaching English, and from last accounts were having great success. Coming down one of the principal streets of Chicago is seen a band of men in marching order, all heavily armed with hatchets and stones, under the leadership of a women, who is, in fact, no other than Mrs. Carrie Nation, who arrived in town viacy- clone, direct from Kansas. Among the marchers are noticed the fol- lowing members' of the class of IQO3, each more enthusiastic than the other: Robertson, who is directly behind the fair leader, Eckstrom, Helbert, Ingersoll, Janes, Laflitte, Yeamens, Fox and G-reely. Gott- lieb is engaged in running a large daily, the circulation of which far surpasses any other in the land. Un his staff many illustrious names are seen, for instance, there stand the names Williain john Thayer, city editor, Henry S. Shipstead, sporting editor, and Wfilliam Joseph Skelly, society reporter. Among the 'ftyposw in the compos- ing room are noticed tw-or faces which have a- familiar look, and they prove to be the devils, Sauer and Phillips, while Blackmore holds the position of 'office boy. Crane' is in Europe most of the time, taking snapshots', for the paper, and McAvo-y has headquarters in Pekin, China, from whence he reports the Boxer troubles. Some of our members have risen from obscurity to places of great prominence. McGaw has been appointed consul to Cairo, Egypt, Bradley holds the office of Secretary of State, Brunner is Minister to Sweden, and Miller is,President of one of the principal countries in South America. Cf that loveliest of flowers, woman, we find six enrolled upon our class list: Mesdames Aren, Cannon, Norman and Carlene, who are found in Idaho, raising chickens by the incubator process, and Misses Forrest and Vlfesh, who are running a fashionable hair-dress- ing and manicuring shop- in Podunk. Carlile has a po-sition of trust with the quartet in Idaho, which consists of overseeing the karyoki- netic process go-ing on in the incubators. Une of the most successful ventures made by the members of this talented class is a gold mining industry in Africa. At the head of the concern is Borjesson, who speaks the Transvaal Dutch with great Huency. Among the stock- holders most largely interested are Bronson, McNinch, Normoyle, Huff, Lawrence, Courtice and Doerbecker. The Smiths are en- gaged in the horseshoeing business, with every prospect of soon being able to retire to private life. Engaged in one of the greatest 138
