Mrs. Elizabeth Weiss, 2442 North

"From morning until night I under
went tortures. My head throbbed and
tl could scarcely stay
on my feet from diz

ached as if It would

nervous and often
cried. I doctored

relief was to coma

Boys Again
After dinner Mannows. who had
gone east on a business trip, went
out for a walk. Presently he found
himself passing the buildings wherein
he had had education forcibly in
stilled in him.
"Forty years old!" he said, a trifle
Indignantly, at length. "I don't be
lieve it!"
As he still stood and stared some
one passing bumped into him. Man
nows, catching sight of the face in
the glare of the street lamp, whirled
him around. "Bill!" he howled. "If
it ain't Bill!"
The captured man, after one look,
broke into exclamation points.
Two rather portly men dancing on
the sidewalk are apt to attract atten
tion, so Mannows and his friend
moved on.
"I was just mooning over the time
when I was hiking up those steps,"
explained Mannows. "Greatest old
college on earth, that!"
"Not while Harvard is still run
ning," said Bill.
Mannows laughed, remembering.
"Terrible rows Harvard and Tech
used to have, eh? Odd how hot-head
ed boys will get. Why, I remember
calling you every name in the diction
ary because you were so chesty over
Harvard and sneered at Tech! Tech
meant more to me then than family,
friends or fortune! 1 felt that you
had insulted me personally!"
"So did I," confided Bill, "when you
did a highland fling the time Tech
licked Harvard at football! I remem
ber meditating how satisfying it
would be to slay you. Bloodthirsty
little demons, college boys."
"That they are." agreed Mannows.
"Too young to know better! It takes
years to drill a little sense into them!
Ever go back on class day?"
"1 went two years ago," said Bill.
"I tell you it made me feel good to
see what a splendid class of fellows
Harvard turns out each year!"
"I'hhuh," said Mannows. "Of course.
Harvard is bigger, but when you come
right down to it I guess the men who
goto Tech are about the cream of the
lot. Fine chaps, good families and all
that."
"Oh, yes," said Bill. "But nothing
like Harvard. I tell you "
"Oh, come now, Bill," Mannows
broke in complacently. "Of course,
it's all right to stick up for your alma
muter and all that, but you're old
enough now to look at things with a
sane and unprejudiced eye, and you
must acknowledge that the mere fact
that Tech is a scientific school would
bring to it a brainier, more earnest
set of students than would attend an
ordinary university! Fellows with
some real purpose in life, you know,
and with aims—no society butterflies
with more cash than brains ever
chose Tech!"
"Well, just because Harvard isn't
crammed with a lot of fellows with
bulging foreheads doesn't hurt it, I'd
have you know!" said Bill, warmly.
"They are all around men who take
an interest in all sides of life. I hate
a narrow man! And in athletics —"
"Now, now!" interrupted Mannows,
warningly. "You are never going to
dig up that Gensler game, are you?
Harvard never could take a licking
gracefully—"
Bill stopped short and shook his
finger under Mannows' nose. He
tried to speak three times before he
could get out the words. "Licking!"
he repeated in strangled tones. "No
one but a prejudiced, unfair, sponge
headed idiot of a Tech man ever
would have agreed to that umpire's--
decision. If Harvard wasn't euchred
out of a fair game by the most under
handed, unjust, outrageous decision
that ever—"
"Everybody saw Gensler when he
cheated!" Mannows shouted. "Every
body! Nobody with a grain of de
cency in him would have dared to
claim that game! Harvard showed the
yellow in her all right by having the
sneaking nerve to object! She should
have hid her head in shame! The
Harvard men should have been egged
off the grounds! They should have
been ridden on a rail! All of the —"
"You with your bribed umpire!"
Bill yelled. "I'd talk if I were you.
yes, I would! Of all the disgraceful
acts of Tech that was the limit!
From top to bottom Tech is a moth
eaten, disreputable—"
"I'll punch your |ace!" Mannows
bellowed, shaking his fist, "if you
don't take back your slanders on the
best —"
Stepping off the curb at the unno
ticed crossing, both Bannows and
Bill reeled, grabbed and fell in a heap.
A passing boy heli>ed them up. "Eyes
must be getting bad," he commiser
ated.
Mannows and Bill paused to look
after him.
"Say," exclaimed Bill, a- bit sheep
ishly, "blamed if I haven't got a boy
of my own as big as that —he enters
Harvard next fall!"
"ITmph!" said Mannows. "I'm an
old fool! I'm 40!"
"I guess we'd better call it square!"
said Bill.
A Mean Fling.
"When you told Miss Slicer that I
created a ripple in Paris, did she seem
to be envious?"
"No. She said she guessed you fell
into the Seine."
