22 THE SAGE A TWENTIETH CENT TRY RIP VAN WINKLE. There are many twentieth century Rip Van Winkles of this age and I am very sorry to say it. “But several are in the Freshman Class of the Union Public School. ’ The one I write about is the one who impresses me as the laziest and I see him most as I sit in front of him in school and sometimes beside him in English Class. He is tall, stoop shouldered, has blue eyes, wears black buttoned shoes, black coat, black overcoat and a gray hat. And when he parts his hair it is parted on the side but seldom sees a comb or brush as he never gets up in time to comb it as he would be apt to be late for school. He seldom works but when he does it is for his own pleasure or at some one else’s home; but never to improve the looks of his own home. Sometimes he’s with some of his “pals.” plays hookey on Friday afternoons to “break colts” for his close friend, another Rip Van W.nkle. He spends his summers in the mountains, swimming, hunting, fishing, visiting. exploring caves, riding calves and bronchos to his heart’s content. When he goes home from school he throws his hat in one corner, bis coat in the other, moves a chair up close to a table and pretends to be studying so he will not have to work or milk the cow—says he has hay fever so as to get out of feeding the horses, compells his little brother to bring in the wood, goes to school because he wants to be an athleie as he cannot find anything else worth doing. He is very kind hearted, loves dogs as most Rip Van Winkles do. and his hardest task in life is to tell the truth. When he finds nothing else pleasing to do., he borrows his neighbor’s dog “Rastis. takes his gun, goes down to see one of the other Rip Van Winkles and they go hunting together. When they return home their game must be skinned and properly prepared by their mothers or sisters or it is left undone as they are too lazy to do anything but eat and lay around the house. “But with all his faults I love him still because he is my brother.” E. H.. 14. Letitia—The man I marry must have accomplished som th ng out of the ordinary. Gussie—I’m your man. Letitia—What have you done? Gussie—1 wrote a brand new joke for the annual.
