Class Motto-' ' Success Always. LITERARY THE FALL OF THE WASP. O11e day not lo11g ago, while I was ill, a tumbler of my medicine had been left carelessly on the window-sill. The tumbler contained a few lumps of sugar over which a mixture of glycerine and whiskey had been poured. The sugar gradually melted in the sun, and a strong odor of alco- hol rose from the mixture. This odor and the sunshine must have aroused the wasp from. his winter sleep, for I had seen him Hying about the window shortly after the mix- ture had begun to give off the odor of whiskey. I fell asleep for a short time, and when I awoke, 11ot hearing my hornet, I got out of bed to investigate. There he lay by the tumbler, dead drunk. He was stretched out on one side with one wing doubled under him, and a ludi- crous expression of sleepiness on his pointed face. I poked him with my finger to see how the whiskey had af-- fected his temper. He rose unstead- ily, staggered about for a few mo- ments, but soon lost the use of his legs, and in spite of my pokings, went off into a drunken sleep again. All the afternoon he lay there. As it grew cooler he stirred about un- easily, and just before dark he start- ed to crawl up the window. His head was heavy and his legs very shaky. He stopped on the top of the lower sash to lie down awhile. He evidently had a terrible headache, for he kept rubbing his head with his fore legs as if to relieve the pain. After a fall or two on the lower sash he reached the top of the window, there falling into a crack in the window-casing to sleep off the effects of his spree.
