much worry by his Inquiries about
bis studies and hi bill, mad a very
successful characterization of a fus
sy old gent, and proud of bl ion.
Dulcle Harlngton, the very suihy
high school lister of Tom was vividly

James Roberta, freshman, baitily
forced to be a professor of tnatha
matlcs, with whisker, much against
