Love and War In my room l Sl? and wonder On that rgvpllng UOIt'8 of thine: On the words you said so sadbf- Words that sound almost dlvlne, Yet that hold within their sweetness All the fatal spell of wzne. Though you preach agaznst ambztzon, Say the sting at last will come ,' Say that love alone endureth To the bright, Immortal home ,' That without It clouds will gather As around another Rome. Yet I believe that you were happy, That your wlll was not my own ,' For you bow to hfgher power, As our fathers to the throne. Though at first you dla' belleve It, You would not be queen alone. Soon you'd tzre of narrow kingdom And its small. enclrcllng bound. Though an empress of the emplre, You would long to be-uncrowned. And the ring of love-lorn music Be a sad and tzresome sound. For the object of devotion ls a soul beyond despazr, That can wander through the chaos And can flnd its cosmos there ,' That, In meeting .storms of battle, Finds them trU'les light as alr. Mnmanis love must have an object, And that object Somefhmg more Than the dung' distant echo Of the thought she's had before ,' Of the song her soul 13 srnging ln its chamber evermore. Deepest love must have some purpose Hld in future's distant dawn. lt must help our forward progress, lt must move the struggle on. Love must linger on attainment, And must dle, attainment gone. Struggle on, then, weary wanderen For your We and for your throne ,' Struggle through the weary marches, Though you struggle on alone ,' And wlthln the grand attainment Come at last unto your own.

UNSOPHISTICATED.-VVhat course should you pursue when a girl says she is sweet six- teen and has never been kissed? It would be best to avoid a girl who would say such a commonplace thing, but if it should occur, there is only one thing to do-kiss her. SENIOR.--After the third introduction, it will be proper to speak to the freshman on the street, provided you gaze across the street while doing so. XVIT.1NSVCf tell jokes unless you are sure they are new. Nothing is a greater strain on friendship. RUSTIC.-I would not advise the use of a letter-writer. The more natural and simple a letter is the better. SPORT.-Shoes should be polished at least, once a month, whether they need it or not. Never wear red ties. AGATHERIDAN.-Do not say there is not no in a debate. Two negatives make an affirmative. . ' EROSOPHIAN.-Try to remember that there are other societies in school. Swellhead is very bad taste. INNOCENCE ABROAD.-When you receive an invitation containing the card of a young lady, it means that you are expected to escort the young lady to the entertainment. It is courte- ous to make a date in advance. '1'RIPLE-M1Nm5D.-It will be nearlyimpossible to keep in with all three of the youngladies' societies. Select one and stick to it. AMBITIOUS.-'IH order to be a favorite with the Faculty, arise cheerfully when called on, and look as if you know it all. Begin away back and tell something which is true and every- body knows, but does not bear on the subject. The instructor will then ask questions or make suggestions which will help you to make a touchdown. Attend the Schoolmasters' Club, affect athletics and ask questions. .
