Any parties contemplating a banquet in which it

The early frosts this year have been doing their
work and as a result, many chestnuting parties
may be seen strolling away to the mountains on
Saturday mornings. As the yield is large this
year, no better opportunity presents itself for
pleasure and exercise, than the forming of these
parties.
A Van ted—A room mate; must be of good mor
als, perfectly quiet, must always keep his feet on
the floor and not sit on the bed ; must have sound
teeth and be an iriveterate smoker. If good cre
dentials are furnished, a person will be taken on
trial for a week. No others need apply. Ad'

The building “boom” at the village still goes
on. During the summer several new houses were
completed and at present quite a number are in
process of erection, The growth of the village,
Win late years, has been marvelous, and its progress
is a source of wonder to old students when they
return to P. S. C.
On Saturday, Sept. 27th, the P. S. C. foot-ball
team went to Lewisburg to play a game with the
team of Bucknell University. When the college
team appeared on the field, the Bucknell manage
ment made objection to the college playing
McLean, Foster, and Cxraham. After a time all
objections to McLean and Foster were removed,
but Bucknell would not consent to Graham being
played. The college would not break their team,
as every man on it was a student, and consequent
ly the game was off. On this account the chances
for a game with Bucknell this year are very slim.

Pood, watch me fool my girl”—writes— Dear
Miss S —, you asked in your last letter for a lock
of my hair. I will send you something better.
Enclosed are three hairs from my side whiskers.
That is all I can spare—Pulls three hairs from his

A long felt want in this college has been a larg
er corps of instructors in mathematics. The large
Freshman class, which we now have, not only
made it necessnry, but demanded it at once. Mr.
J, PI. Root, a graduate of Cornell University, has
been chosen to fill the position of assistant to Prof.
Jackson, and accordingly the Sophomore and
Freshman classes have been divided.
The reading room of the library is now open
from 7 to 10 p. m., thus giving students the op
portunity of spending much more time there than
heretofore. The privileges of the reading room
should not be overlooked by the students. By
spending some time there daily, if it be but little,
one may obtain a good knowledge of passing
events, which can be found in such periodicals as
we are fortunate to possess.
The shades of night wero falling fast,
As through the college halls there passod
A Freshman.
Ills clothes wero wot, Ills feet were damp,
As on 110 rushed, with clumpy, clamp;
TUI exhausted In his room he sank,
This Freshman.
In hot pursuit, anothor came
With bristling hair and eyos utluimj,
A Sophomore.

With which he ducked the little Freshman ;
And to punch his head was now Ills plan,
Tough Sophomoro,
Hut when he reached the Freshman's door,
Which was fastened by two looks or more,
Ho turned away and badly swore,
Dad Sophomoro.
I'll oatoli him yet, the little sneak,
And if ho says again, ''Your whiskers leak I"
I’ll bet on it—no more he'll speak,
Bold Freshman.
