Numquam speak, As they pass by; Non etiam de the weather. To the Scicere Teacher. The following is a poem by Albert Johnstone and Charles Billings to their Science teacher: Miss Alice Venters Has spent many winters Among the hills of old Nebraska. She seems so old. And so very cold. As though she were from far-off Alaska. She's tail and fair, With dark brown hair. And eyes of a darker hue, But the way she can look, And still read a book. is a mystery to me and you. But this I know. And know for sure. That of all I know, I know more truer. To the good old hills of Nebraska. Brains Needed. There was an Irishman who was at work out in the street in the extreme heat with no hat on. A man passing, said: “Don't you know that its bad for the brains to be working out here with no hat?” The Iris’i-an looked up and said, with d'sg.ist. “Be gorry and do you suppose I'd be working out here if I had any brains?”—Ex.

His mother, who was very particular about politeness, inquired ad to whether the boy had thanked the gentleman. She received no reply. “Bobbie, did you thank Mr. Brown?” she asked again. Still no answer. “Bob, you should have thanked Mr. Brown. Come, dear and tell mother whether you did or not.” There was still a silence. Robert, answer me at once, or 1 will spank you. Robert (sobbing)'—I thanked him, but he told me not to mention it and you made me.—Ex.

the ojksheperida. 13 One thing we need and should have to win the next game is a large crowd to witness the sport and some good rooters, because nothing will encourage a team more than this. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL. With Buffalo withdrawn, and slightly recovering from the reactions of a double defeat, our attention has been given to local interests. Tuesday night, December 22d, the Spencer Business College team was in the arena for battle. The spectators were surprised at the rush of onslaught. Every one knew it would be a hard one to win and a close result. But “The H gh School girls.” says the Enterpr'se. “had the best of the situation from the beginning.’ They ended the first half with a score of 10 to 5 ir- their favor. Th's enco. raging score cheered our players as it would any athlete and they went into the second half with a grim determ nation to make it even more decisive than that. Miss Meyers w'as the strongest player for the College and netted all their points by successf il free throws. Miss Haywood, also as forwaid was in evidence. The High School guards played unusually wrell in this gime. Miss Buell as forward for the High School captured two field goals. When M ss Tschirgi as running center did not have the ball. Miss Stahl did. Miss Stahl made baskets w’hen she got the ball. Despite the defeat the College girls remained in sweetest spirit. The game was a pleasing and interesting event, devoid of those d stressing features that usually ' ccompany local contests. The final score was 19 to 10. The game was referee by Fred Portz, ’08. who is “aU right” and umpired by Barrett of St. Louis athletic fame; Tiverton Tynon was the “Rooting King.” His presence was both felt and heard. The lineup: High School. Position. College. Stahl (capta’n) .................. Haywood. Forwards. Buell ............................. Bruc°. Forwards. Tschirgi ........................ Aldrich. Center. Bezoid. Schmillan ..................... FriebeJ. Guards. Arrangements are now being made to meet Billings and Newcastle. Miss Whittier has taken the coaching and managing of the team so w’e continue to look for effective results. WHAT THEY KNTW ABOUT AMERICA. Ti e confus on that foreigners make of our geography s w’ell illustrated by a German poem that appeared not long ago. The p'et, with edifying unconcern as to loca tlons and dista ices, wras guilty of some amusing blunders. Tile argum nt of his extraordinary effort is something 1 ke this: Under a palm tree on the shore of Lake Fr e the hero is devoured by an alligator. The heroine, learning of his fate, rushes from her home in the everg ad s of Florida on the banks of Lake Superior, captures the alligator, extracts the hero’s body, and burl‘s it with magn ficent pomp in Greenwood. in the city of New York, state of St. Louis. In another instance, a German who really w shed to know’ the geography of this country. fell into the mistake so common with Eurcp ans of not appreciating the rather large scale on which nature has dealt with us n the matter of land and water. Near Concord. Mass., is Walden Pond, the little body of water near which Thoreau lived a cne in a h t for about two years. His most famous book is. as everyone knows, entitled Walden.” It purports to be an account of h s lif in that hut, and ranks with the masterpieces of American literature. Once a German professor, engaged in stlid es of Am rica. received from Washington a large map of the continent. Soon afterward. in writing to an eminent American, he said that he had looked all over the map without finding Walden Pond. This seemed tc him an amazing omission, and he urged his friend to lay the matter before the government author ties with a view to correcting the map. Perhaps the most amusing of mistakes in American geography are those to be found :n the “nigger” songs of which cockney singers in English m sic halls are so tond. Of the?e a most entertaining example is the effert of which the chorus bears ih s r »fra!n: Evans Guards.
