The “Maroon and White” from Dan- ville, will withhold the issue of their paper for the month of February to leave the work on exams and sched- ules undisturbed. The “Skirmisher” Hillsdale, Mi h.: Your exchange department for the December issue is very clever but you haven’t enough literary work. Money talks, As we've heard t.ell, And to most of us, It says, “Farewell!’' t . Two Germans, who knew nothing of French, were bidding each other fare- well: “An reservoir” said one. ‘ Tanks”, replied the other. Teacher—Can some one tell me the title of the poem beginning: “The melancholy days are come, The saddest of the year.” Student—“School Days.’’ She—“Oh professor!

Smith kindly let them use. Mi's Gourley is afraid that the Physical Geography class will never be weather prophets. Appreciation of Caesar I started to read Caesar, I knew it would be dry, It was worse than I expected. Don’t ask the reason why. I put it in a hogshead, I filled it with H 2 O, Mayle you won’t believe me. When I tell you It was so. I left it in a week. And then alas! I swore!! (Believe me, I am truthful). It was dryer than before. If there should be another flood. For safety hither fly, Tho’ all the world should be submerg- ed. This book would still be dry. Ye Caesar Student.
