It seems that the Editor had attended a reception that evening, and in a guileless manner had written his name upon a slip of paper with a word beneath, as was requested of each guest. In the ordinary course of the evening's entertainment extem poraneous speeches upon these very words were declared to be in order. Woe unto the chief scribbler? No!

One after another of the assembled wits gave examples of their " wits dom," and when the Editor's turn came, behold the "power of the press."

The count less number of relics which might be gathered—the promise of future captures upon the grid-iron, diamond, track and field leads us to believe that such a room would serve as a grand reminiscent chamber. Gather your class canes, class flags, class trophys, class cups, college relics, etc. This would certainly tend to keep the student body in touch with the athletic history of the institution. Let some one step to the front and take hold of the idea. We are sure the authorities will co-operate.

Jaimeson's hesita tion in telling the story, and his wife's eagerness that he should tell it, made him think that something unusual was 'coming. The Free Lance. CONCLUDZD [NOV.EMBUR,
