The Operating Coats. The classes, respectively of 'oz and 'og Held a joint meeting one day in Hall B. The object of the meeting was to try and agree On a neat-looking operating coat, as you 'll soon see. On color and style they tried to decide. But on that little Op question they seemed to divide. Committees were appointed on whom they relied. And on their decision 't was agreed they 'd abide. They solemnly vowed to do the best that they could. And look at the samples of goods that were good. A selection was made, and 't was soon understood 'T was impossible to please all-try as they would. And now. if you please. we id like to suggest A few of the ideas as we heard them expressed. Some wanted coats of blue. others preferred coats gray. Some wanted coats of white. some had nothing to say ' Some wanted a coat with a collar to roll. Some wanted a coat trimmed in braid as a whole: Some wanted a coat neat and plain as could be. Some wanted a coat everybody could see. 'T was l:lll3ilf' decided that the color 'd be gray. And 't was really hoped it had come to stay. But tor some reason or other it would n't quite do: The committee came forth with a coat made of blue. Of course some objected and started to pout. They were hunting a way to try and get out: But the majority stood pat and gave in their name. And were on deck for their measure when the man came. The order was to be nlled in about a fortnight. But 't was fully six weeks before a coat was in sight. XVhen they finally came. there was surely some fun: The troubles of the man at the Big Store begun. Some men were all right. but the man was too tall. But each one was pleased when he got a good tit. And on his first appearance made a great hit. Taken as a whole. they 're indeed the real thingf' And here's hoping they 'll always remain in the ring: All future classes should surely vote yes And keep up the good work for the O. C. D.

generally warni it up in an ice-crearn freezer. said the hero. They looked at all his sturf. and passed opinions on same. until they were at an end. Then Taylor suggested they have a dernonstration. It 's long time. he said. since I have extracted a tooth. and I reel the habit coniing over nie again. Let 's go upstairs. Now. Keely and VVatt. being old nien. had no teeth. so could not be operated upon. There being no patients at hand. it must devolve upon that idiot. the hero. to act the role of patient. He. poor fool. did not catch on. and so brought up the rear of the tile that niarched upstairs. Dr. Taylor selected a pair of forceps. Then. it dawned on the kid. he knew then. that he was it. He shrieked and niade a wild run for the hallway. He ran through the clinic. out through the laboratory. down the back stairs to the lower hall. shrieking all the way. with the three doctors in hot pursuit. He dashed up the front stairs, and down the back ones. and Hnally down those that lead to the street. The door was locked, and they caught him. They carried hi1n upstairs on their shoul- ders, singing: john Browns body lies a moldering in the grave. 'While we go marching ou. XYatt brought up the rear grinning and singing. and beating the bass drum. which belongs to the band. They placed hirn in the chair, and just as Taylor was getting a good hold, some one punched hirn in the side and said: XYhat are you yelling about? Xobody 's go- ing to hurt you. Can't you let a fellow sleep? Lay on your side. then rnaybe you wou't have bad dreams. He just rolled over. and said. Gee whiz. while he wiped the cold sweat frotn his forehead. The next morning, he took a good look at the tablets in the hall. but no amount of magic words that he could use. would make them fall. E. H. K.
