"Stephen-ville's Greatest Store"
At last—Possum is in love! The
following letter is evidence that he
has finally fallen:
"Darling Pearl:, I just received
your wonderful letter, and I am writ-
ing this to assure you of my undying
love. Sweet girl, how could you ever
doubt that I love you with all my
'heart? My every thought is of you,
and I dream of you at night. How I
wish we could be together for one
more precious evening—but a thought
of the long miles between Tarleton
and C. I. A. makes such a wish futile.
Don't worry, dear, we will be to-
gether again in a few weeks—but
how long these weeks seem! If I only
had the patience that Witcher has.
He has been hounding the same girl
for a month and hasn't been given a
date yet. But when I think of you,
I can hardly wait for the school term
to end. Some day, though, when you
and I are at the little Baptist church
at Knox City—■
But such thoughts are in vain. I
can only- work and wait, until the
time, conies, Sugar, when we will be
together again. Take care of yourself,
dear, and write to
Your ever faithful/
LEONARD.
"Why is an oil well like a college
professor?" r ~
"Because it is always gassing."
How is it different?
. "It sometimes produces money."
He: I don't believe' in sett nig
precedents. They usually do a lot
of harm, and little good comes of
them."
She; "1 don't know about that.
Suppose Adam hadn't kissed Eve?'
At sixty miles,
Drove Willie Srniddler
He lost control,
His wife's a widow.
"You quit beating my time,"
said the upperclassman to his
freshman roommate who was
sleepily pounding on the alarm
clock. :

man with the S. A. ?
Mr. Howell smaking a cigarette?

Mrs. Ohamberlm being on the cam-
pus list?

ed?
Anyone Mistaking "Mary" Witch-
ev's voice for Prentiss Young's?

A CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
There is a new disease spreading
over the campus. It has been here
for years (that is, to a certain extent)
but now it is getting dangerous, be-
cause someone (mothers and fathers)
are going to lose some ox their boys
and girls.
Some people call it M. A., but, pare-
goi-iettiiy speaking £n>m 'an siredalo
standpoint, T think that' it- should
have another name, for instance, "The
Lvroya," "The Forneys," "The Maxes"
or it might be called the "Fat Cart-
ers." For further information please
sue one of the above.
Tif E SfjiHIS'S 23UD PSALM' V '
1. The Soph if; my Shepherd: T
shall not want attention.
2. llo rnaketh me to lie down on
his knees; ho k-udelh me down the
*
dark avenues.
3. He I'estoi'eth his dignity: he
leadeth me into the paths of humble-
ness for his joy's sake.
4. Yea, -though I walk in the
shadow of the Main building, I shall
always fear evil; for he is with me;
his rod and his belt they discomfort
me.
5. I preparest a room before him
in the presence of his classmates: I
anojntest his boots with Dyanshine;
my heart runneth over.
0. Surely these troubles and sor-
rows shall not follow me all the days
of my Varsity life, for I shall not
dwell on the campus a freshman for-
ever, ,
Of Course!
"How in the world do you keep
that wild patient in number ten so
quiet ?
"Science, my boy, science! I found
that he went bughouse working on
cross word puzzles, so I. gave him a
checkerboard patchwork quilt to sleep
under, and he goes to sleep happy ev-
ery night." (

Lake is ?

r, Fish: "Wonderful—-this elec-
tricity,"

lings?" .
• Cocoo: " Well, it's tha light that,

Co-Ed: "What is;the score?"
Ed: "Fourteen to seven."
Co-Ed; "You must be mistaken
I have not seen but five men car-
ried off the field, and' I have
watched carefully.
Why Cry? i
Pause not, nor shed one salty tear.
That idiot cranked his car in gear.
Hank: That Freshman Smith looks
sad. Didn't he enjoy his Xrnas ?
Foot: His family gave him a razor
which he can't use yet.
Hank: That oughtn't to worry him
much.
Foot: It doesn't, but the upper-
classrnen have been using his strap.
Demma: ,-1 am so doggoned broke,
n dirrfe looks like a washtub to me.
Tassa: Gee, you are flush, I have
been squeezing this quarter so long
that the eagle looks like a crane.
The 'One (either one): Why do
they call those things dressing
gowns? You can't- 'dress in one .of
thpi-Mj ■
The Other: Well, you don't cake a
bath -in a bathrobe, do you?
He: "Your littis brother just saw
me kiss you. What can I give him
to keep him from telling?
She: He gen'/raHy gets u dollar.
"Why are you mailing ail those
empty envelope.'!V"
"I'm cutting class in' a correspond-
ence school."
Under the sod lies Tib O'Toole.
He borrowed a feather to tickle a
mule.
He: 'Would your father be willing
to help in the future?
Site: Well f heard him say he felt
like kicking you into the middle of
next week.
Mike: Why do boys part their
hair ?
Ike; Yon win. Why?
Mike: Each block has its alley.
A Fault After All
She has some lovely recipes
For cakes and stuff— there's none
can beat 'em ,
They're just one drawback, if you
please,
She bakes the things and none can
eat 'em.
