VOL. S62 THE HARPOONER Maxx' mira LITERATURE GEOMETRY GERMAN THE SOCIAL WHIRL Augusia Zlluller and Roberta 7YlL7'I'7:.Ul 'ElI'tf7'Z-C68 Society was all agog at the Collegiate last night when Mr. Edouard Aye Stewart gave a stag party to celebrate the anniver- sary of his birth. The party was held in the auditorium, the scene of so many historic functions. Never was seen such an array of the beauty and wit of this city. Just as the handsome Collegiate alarm clock commenced to chime out the hour of eight, the Quadrille d'honneur was formed, and the blushing bachelors danced gaily to the sweet strains of the three-pieced orchestra. Mr. John Jay McNeice received with Mr. Stewart. Mr. Stewart Wore a charm- ing new baseball uniform and displayed a delicate breath of chiclet de spearmint. Mr. McNeice looked charming in a Louis Riel hat lined with otter. Mr. Sylvester Kramer displayed his usual pomp. Unfortunately he had to leave early in the evening to rest up for the next day's study. Mr. Ralph Cushing presented a sort of general appearance which became him exceedingly. Mr. G. A. Robinson was beautifully attired in a sergc de Prussian bleu. His felt-trimmed baseball fan made his appearance all the more striking. Mr. Jimmy Paterson Nicol wore a flashy suit of Organdy trimmed with Burgundy and purchased in Normandy. Mr. IV. G. Wilson wore a crimson vest de rouge covered with spots dc porridge. Mr. Wilson introduced for the first time a dance of his own composition, Wilson's Clog. The popularity of his master- piece was evidenced by thc enthusiastic applause of the guests. Mr. Merry Farmer appeared carrying a beautiful cane de willow in which his initials were beautifully carved a la jack- knife. Mr. George lVells, who was in a neigh- boring city visiting new acquaintances, was not present. Mr. Fred. Ross, Mr. R. XYillia1nson, Mr. George Boyd, Mr. Freddy Streib and several others were not invited. 4 Q92 HQ 4 I 54 . v' I xx 'Ss lsr C iylaf X ' ANNOUNCEMENT DINING ROOM European Plants U.S.A.

D I JOURNALIST IS VICTIM OF THUG. UNKNOWN RUFFIAN ASSAULTS AUGUSTE MULLER. Editor Pluckily Rejects Poem. Auguste Muller, the editor of IFHE I'LmPooN1Qn, was the victim of a das- tardly outrage late last night. While peacefully strolling on the Col- legiate campus, endeavoring to manufac- ture the necessary epigrams for his next editorial, Mr. Muller was suddenly accost ed by a masked man. Looking round, the editor found himself gazing down the barrel of a six-stanzed ballad of heavy calibre. V Mr. Muller kept his nerve and asked his assailant what he wished. Give me four columns of space in your next issue, or your life, growled the villain. True to his tenets, Mr. Muller refused, whereupon the villain with a mad shriek discharged two stanzas of the ballad at the editor's head. Though severely wounded, Mr. Muller endeavored to make his escape. He had, however, barely staggered three paces, when his assailant discharged the third stanza. It took effect and Mr. Muller fell unconscious on the campus. SLUGGED VYITH EPIC. Seeing hi111 helpless at his feet, tl1e ruffian treated the unfortunate :nan with the greatest brutality. He discharged the remaining three stanzas into Mr. Muller's body, and endeavored to com- plete his deadly work by striking the editor with an epic which he had concealed upon his person. Then, hearing approach- ing footsteps, he fled. Mr. Muller was found lying uncon- scious by George Porter, his business manager, and was conveyed to the Library. He was in precarious condition, but restoratives in the shape of a report of the algebra examination having been applied, he recovered, and is now doing well. The fragments of the ballad found floating at considerable height above the campus, have failed to reveal the identity of the notorious composer. A posse, headed by Detective Cap. Murray, is on the track of the villain. LIMERICK COMPETITION. Today we are able to announce tl1e results of our last Limerick competition. The first, second and third prizes were awarded to Mr. Johnny Hindson, Mr. Danny MacLean and little Murray Farmer. Mr. Johnny Hindson is made richer by the sum of thirty-five cents by a clever use of his poetic ability. Here is the Limerick: There was once a beautiful eo-ed. Who said to l1er dapper young bo-ed. How long will you wait, dear? Till I graduate, dear. Said he, t'It is only a dream. Mr. Johnny Hindson supplied the last line which hits off the situation admirably. It shows the youth's quick grasp of the situation and his terse decision. Un- fortunately, he forgot to make the last line rhyme with co-ed, but we considered that such a slight error did not detract from the merit of his contribution.
