AT EVENING AI HOME. Tuesday evening the seniorclass spent a most enjoyable evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell. The party last ed three hours, during which time there was "something doing." The fore part of the evening was devoted to singing, the playing of games, and other things which tended to make things happy and merry. The feature of the evening was the graceful stunt preformed by Mrs. Camp bell and Orin French, after which every body entered into a contest for a prize. The contest proved to be not so difficult as it seemed and as a consequence there were many, who should have won prizes, but as there were only two prizes, one for a boy and one for a girl, we were obliged to guess a page in a book and the one who guessed nearest the page won. In this Allah Madison and Amos Smoker were the fortunate ones Other games were played until a late hour, then we were all summoned to the dining-room where there was a table daintily served with refreshments, and which made one's mouth fairly water. After the edibles were disposed of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell gave us an account of the hardships and trials they have ex- periehced during their employment in the Indian Service. Everybody then made ready to retire, after thanking Migs Noble, Miss Irene, Mr. and Mrs. Camp, beli, who had made every effort to make this party a success, we departed. The evening will be long remembered by the "Class of 1910." Harry Jones, '10. POWER OF SILENT PERSISTENCE - Strength is not a thing usually con nected with maidenhair fern, yet if its roots nave not sufficient room they will break the pot in which the plant grows. Blades of grass will force the curb stones between which they spring up out of their place, and in a single night a crop of small mushrooms have lifted a large stone. Indeed plants have been known to break the hardest rocks. The island of Aldabra, to the north west of Madagascar, is becoming smaller and smaller through the action of the mangroves that grow along the foot of the cliffs. They eat their way into the rock in all directions, and into the gaps thus formed the waves force their way. Exchange. CHE MAW A -DALLAS COLLEGE.
