The Chorus of Stars poj ped out at the proper intervals and winked at the Moon as a cue for her to commence her gliding act. The Queen of Night peeped cautiously from her dresssing room behind the horizon to make sure that the stars were not deceiving her. Seeing that ail was in readiness, she threw a last kiss to the East and began her stately march across the stage, keeping time to the majestic music of the Spheres. The usual aristocratic audience of mountains brightened at her appearance, and a thousand lake glasses were leveled to catch her expression. Sec how she smiles at me, whispered one of the Rockies from the bald-headed row, appropriating the look of love which she cast towards the Sun, who was watching her from behind the opposite horizon. With such stately grace she moved that all the Earth, thrilled with the poetry of her motion, kept silence until she had reached her zenith. Then, swirling her draperies of mist about her, with a last bewildering smile, she passed behind the heavy curtains of clouds. The South wind screamed out its wild delight and all the little Hills waved their trees in applause. Several phlegmatic old ' ol- canoes coughed hoarsely to conceal their emotions, and Pelee threw up a brilliant bouquet. The Oceans lost control of themselves completely, and clapped their million hands in an ecstacy of enthusiasm. So tumultuous were the encores that the { ueen was forced to peep out from the curtains six times and smile her thanks to the audience. Thus ended the billionth night appearance if this most popular of performers in the magnificently-staged Dance of Diana. H. R. Keeble.

A Model Recitation Tiine: Any Tuesday, lo-ii A. jNI. Place: The Latin Room. Dratnatis Dr. Kerns, of the Chair of Latin. Perso7i}ue The Junior Latin Class. Dr. Kerns picks up his attendance book, and after carefully adjusting his spectacles, approaches the front of the room. The members of the class come streaming in at irregular intervals, making desperate attempts to throw hats, coats, etc. , on the nails along the side of the room provided for that purpose, but, unfortunately, placed about two feet too high. Dr. K. in a loud voice — Now, gentlemen, you will please answer to your names as I call them, and if any of you are not here, just let me know after the class and I will mark you absent. (Loud stamping greets this bright and thoughtful remark of the Professor. ) Dr. Kerns, at the top of his voice — Gentlemen, will you please come to order immediately; I shall not begin until I can have quiet in the room. Dr. K. proceeds to call the roll, and then goes over it twice to make sure that he has marked the attend- ance correctly. Dr. K — We have for our lesson the tenth chapter of Sallust ' s Cataline today, gentlemen, and before we take up the lesson, let me caution you to be careful of your cases. Through the correct reading of the passages, we come to feel the force of the Latin. What we want to do, gentlemen, is to eel the language, not translate it in a hit or miss sort of fashion. Mr. Stevenson, you may begin to read. Stevenson — I was sick last night, Doctor, so I am not prepared today. (As Stevenson is sick five nights out of six, his reply is greeted with an outburst of clap- ping and stamping). Dr. K — Gentlemen, we must have order. Mr. Carpenter, you may recite. (Mr. Carpenter sails successfully through the first line and is greeted with the usual outburst of applause. ) Mr. Shields enters the room, as usual, five minutes late, and the room resounds with a terrific din. He no sooner gets seated when Mr. Rader makes his apipearance. Five mintes is taken out while the Professor marks them present. Dr. A ' ., referring to his book — Mr. Bird, you may continue. Mr. Bird — I didn ' t get as far as that. Doctor. (As this is only the second sent- ence, the applause is tremendous. The Professor takes off his glasses and glares around; nobody injured.) Dr. K — There has not been sufficient time spent on this lesson; gentlemen, you 24
