Irate Neighbor—I'm sure of it. If he were living in olden times he’d surely hold the office for which he seems eminently qualified. Papa—What is that? Irate Neighbor—Town crier.—Ex. She walked into the office of the judge of the probate court and inquired, “Are you the judge of reprobate? I am the judge of probate, was the reply. “Well, that's it, I expect, quoth the lady, “You see, my husband died detested, and left me several little infidels; and I want to be appointed their executor. —Ex. An oligarchy is rule by a a few or by a board. Probably a great many of us have been ruled by an oligarchy. A boy once told his playmates that he was getting ready to run. away to sea. Several months later they met, and the one playmate acked the other if he had been to sea. Yes,” was the reply. “I was found out and went on a whaling expedition with father!”—Ex. Mulligan—Th’ byes ray ye licked poor Casey. Shure he niver hurt any man's feelin's. Harrigan—He’s a shnake in the grass. Th' blackguard referred to me as his con-timperary, and I'll be contimperary to no man livin'.—Ex. Mother—(looking over boy’s shoulder)— Your spelling is simply terrible. Roy—This isn’t a spelling lessen. It's a com pos ition.—Ex. Fourth Week. P.usiness is resumed again All along the line! All those crce coiverted men Now are going fine. Seems to be a sort of law In the saintly clan— There has been an awful thaw In the month of Jan.! —John Kendrick Rangs in Judge. Pessimist. Favorite Son of Dame Fortune. Are you looking sour? Then don’t cheer up. To be sour in appearance Is the latest fashion aerogram from “Lunnon town. A strain of “sour color” runs through nearly all the topsy weaves they show you at the tailors. Seemingly, it's to be a pessimistic season. Even the hat ruins have a drooping, doleful expression as they hold then before the mirrors at the 'atters. Already in those hippodromes of “bespoken” style, such as the Michigan avenue clubs and the corn-clutch hotel lobbies, the sour tones are frequent. It is teh prevailing mode. The sour effect is reached by splashing, gaudy gray with remorse, embittered essence of citron. IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY. First Week. Hear the sinners swearing off! Hear the joyous crew Vcwing how they're going to doff Naughty things they do! Sweet reform is in the air. 'Tis a splendid plan, Cutting vices everywhere In the month of Jan.! Second Week. Hear the sinners weakening! Hear their sorry plaint! How the crowd is murmuring, “Hard to be a saint!” 'Tis not easy to be good— Mighty few who can In this surging multitude In the month of Jan. Third Week. Hear the slipping sinners slide! Hear ’em climbing back! Best w'ill weaken when they’re tried; Vows are getting slack. Taking on their former ways, Now beneath the ban— These are very trying days In the month of Jan.!

The bright October days are almost gone The leaves are falling faster day by day, The wind keeps moaning softly all daylong; Along the woodland paths the squirrels play. The autumn flcw’rs are gone from by the way; The hungry deer now search for grass in vain; The little brook seems just as bright and gay. As if the summer had not gone again. And all seems reconciled now to cold and rain. By Nellie Reed, ’10. The year is like a summary of life— Each has its summer, winter, spring and fall. The spring of each is gay and free from strife, But fall, we hold the sweetest of them all; For things found best come just before the call That ends all things. And grim cold Death doth yearn. For us, as winter with its dark gray pall Engulfs the year: While we can never learn Of where we go; from whence none ever do return. —Tiverton Tynan, ’10.
