12 THR PORCUPINE “JIM” Yes, strange, that’s Jim. He wasonly a tramp, Jest a rovin’ an’ roamin’ an’ worthless scamp, An’ that on the slab’s all that’s left o’ him. He was only a t-amp, jest a tramp called Jim, But I reckon as how, on th’ other shore, They’ve recorded his name an’ a whole lot more. Jim came t’ my ranch some time last year An’ esked for a bite, an’ I saw a tear A tricklin’ An’ speak. Yes, stranger, I sort o’adopted him, down his sunburned cheek, his heart was so full he could hardly This rov’in tramp with th’ name o’ Jim. If eve: a man worked hard for his keeps, Jim did, an’ we all grew t’ think a heap, O Jim, an’ my little darter the-— The gal with the gold in her tangled heir— She thought as the’ sun rose an’ set in him; They was allus together, th’ gal an’ Jim. She’d see him a-comin’ an’ start an’ run T’ met ole Jim when his chores was done, An’ Jim’d get down on his knees, while she Climbed upon his shoulders with childish glee, An’ then they’d play as th’ horse was him An’ she was th’ rider, th’ gal an’ Jim. Well, yistiddy, stranger, th’ gal was out In th’ field, jest playin’ aroun’ about, W’en one o’ Perkens’ bulls came down A-pawin’ an’ rakin’ th’ new plowed groun’; The gal didn’t see no danger in that An’ beckoned th’ bull with her red straw hat. With an angry bellow th’ maddened brute, With his tail in th’ air, took a sudden shoot For th’ gal, an’ in jest a minute or less His horns was caught in th’ young one’s dress. He’d a’torn th child from limb t’ limb, W’en over th’ fence, with a yell, leaped Jim. He was just in time; with his nerves all tense He grabbed th’ gal an’ run f’r th’ fence. He saved th’ gal, but jest too late He started t’ vault the orchard gate, An’ that on th’ slab’s all that’s left o’ hi;m He was only a tramp, jest a tramp, called Jim. M. McD.

EXCHANGES This, our last issue of the exchange column, as well as.of the paper, for this year, we will try. to make more general than heretofore. In the exchanges we have received and some- times, even in our own columns, there has been noticed too enough suggestion. much criticism, and not The purpose of exchange columns in our High School papers help the papers up to a higher and a better status. The papers ought to be bright and interesting, filled with good, original stories, (not those taken from hackneye d plots.) They ought to con- tein articles of human They ought not to be filled half full of jokes, as many of them do—of travels, natu-e and of events of the day. some of them insipid enough, which are only intelligible to a small majority of the pupils in the same school, much less to those of other institutions. So many of the exchange columns and some of the joke columns repeat jokes by the score, from other papers. This is hardly an exhibi- tion of local school talent, and is poor practice when carried to the extreme. We have noticed that many exchanges are illustrated, especially those of the commence- ment numbers. Some of the illustrations are When a. paper can afford it, the illustrating is highly desirable, as it brightens the paper, and brings hand work, others are photographs. the pupils of different schools in close com- munication with one another.
