The young mountaineer was interrogating a stranger. “You got a brother?” he inquired. “I had one but he died.” “Get shot?” “No, he wasn’t shot.” “Drink himself t o death?” “Certainly not.” “Now I know you are a liar,” exclaimed the boy triumphantly. “There’s” only them two ways of dying. —Colyums. “Father, what is a col lege?” “A football team en tirely surrounded by root ers, my son.” —Purple Parrot. “What is it, Mi*.

I DEAR JIM— » I’m all down hearted. You { know my old friend and beer I buster, Hank Fanner? Of 5 course. He’s president and 5 riding delegate of the Anti-Pe : destrian League here, in the I shape and form of the Taxi j Cabbers. Old Hank won’t | speak to me any more, sorer : than anything at me. You see 1 it was like this: Pete, who is I the gride and sorrow of our I household (from the fact that | he weighs two hundred and s twenty pounds at sea level in his socks and spends his spare time in the fall walking ; through and all over the lings in the Pacific Coast Confer ence) went to a party on New Year’s Eve and got a little 1 more liquor than party. We i were all sitting around the fire , about twelve bells, wmiting for Old Dad Time to bring in the Neophyte, when in drifts Pete, a little bit unsteady like thfi U. S. S. Mississippi in a heavy gale. We could discern right off that he was well hoot ed up and when he makes the bald .statement “Tha’sh h’esh | out for a good time,” we knew, for we all knew Pete, that ' something was going to happen. Pete started out on his joyous and happy celebration of the New Year by knocking out all the window lights in the living room, and one of the neighbor houses. The old boy across the alley wrapped a chair around Pete’s neck and was getting ready to prod him with a load of buckshot, when he persuad ed Pete to come back into the house, with the ultimate result to ns of four cracked shins and one black eye. I would just as soon try and argue with the Shennandoali in a high wind as with Pete when in the mood he was at that time. Merely as a rest from these violent exertions he goes up on the sleeping porches and tosses a couple of beds out of the window and then jumps out on them to see how many times he would bounce. The line held and he didn’t bounce so we dug him out of the snow with the coal shovel. We four brothers immediately saw the dire necessity of conveying Pete off of the premises, for the sake of the future existence of our chapter at Oregon. The other three boys were for hang ing and I held out for depor tation to Siberia, but we com promised on going out to a midnight show where we felt sure that Pete, if he followed his natural instincts, would go to sleep when he sensed the in tellectual. We went and he did. Everything was rosy until the climax of the play when the villain fired off his gat at the hero who was successfully en deavoring to rescue the fair “damsu-u-1 held in the villu-u u-n’s lair-r-h, out in the great open spaces where a man’s either a sheep herder or a cow boy and never takes a bath.” Pete evidently thought the half was up and came out of his sweet dreams and took in the whole . situation, the heroine struggling wildly in the vil lain’s clutches and screaming louder than Pierce did for votes, and rvhat does this big truck do but tear down the aisle with a roar and with one leap clears two bald heads and the orchestra and in another instant has knocked the villain over the cliff in. the back ground, (he wasn’t really knocked over a cliff but only down a flight of steps and he didn’t say a thing when they picked him up. Well, to get back, where Hank comes in, you see they called in ten of his drivers to throw Pete out, and what surprises me yet is that only six of them had to go to the hospital, I guess they just left the rest of them for the janitor to clean out, a sloven trick on the janitor. We bailed Pete out next day, a sober and penitent hunk of beef, but old Hank is( still sore, and me being so hot tem pered I’m afraid I’ll do some thing I’ll be sorry for if he jays anything. ANNA NY AS. THE FRESHMAN’S LAMENT The old green lid sits on my crown. The rain comes pouring, pouring down. The water hits me with great force And causes much remorse. ffl The green lid sits upon my head. I’d rather wear a hat instead. This Oregon tradition of many years Is enough to drive a “Frosh” to tears. The green lid sits upon my dome, I have no use for brush or comb. A “Frosh” can never look all right, Because his hair is just a fright. The water runs from off my nose And slyly slips down to my toes. A physical wreck I’m apt to be, With chronic “water on the knee.” C want to say there’s never lack Of running water on my back. I never have to wash my neck, Because the rain does that, by heck. But folks it won’t be very long, Until I’ll sing a different song. Then I will laugh at the other guy, Who mops the water from his eye. — KLASS V. POWELL.
