■'JELLY JMY''
Sunday was what I. vojijd call
"Jelly Day." J!s'early everyone
was "napped out." in this "eivies."
This had :i great effect on the
girls because ( 'noticed that they
v.-ere also dressed to a "T".
The "eiviea". changed some of
the boys "looks" so much that they
were , able to get the "S. A." A
few new couples were seeij tog-eth-
er which was. very surprising' to.
the student body, ''as a whole,"
for instance Forney l)a'wkina and
——'Leroy Brown and and,
and, oh, Shucks! I guess that's
all.
James started on to the English
class just as the last bell rang.
This college life was getting old
to him, and he hated English'
worse than anything else. Well,
he would'go on to this class, tho,
for he could not afford to get any
more demerits.
But as he passed into the En-
glish room .he thought he never
was so sleepy before. lie went
| on and took his seat just as the
J teacher called his name. Thank
goodness lie was not late. Then
James settled back peacefully, to
try to.get something out Of the
lesson. Everything went on nice-
ly. He thought the period must
be. nearly over. It 'Seemed to have
been two hours since he came in.
Just then the door opened and
someone came in with a card from
the Registrar. Yes, it was for
James, all right.
"What can this* mean/' James
wondered. "They never caught
me at the shosv the other night,
surely."
With this thought and many
others just as disagreeable pass-
ing through his mind James hur-
ried down to the Registrar's office
to see what waj wanted of him.
After pi heah'd discussion of
this and that James was allowed
to go. But he was to return at
a certain time the next (lay. Ho
had not been informed what his
punishment would be. No, they
had not caught him at the show,
but he had been caught, out after
hours two nighi.j and for being
out of uniform once,

your friends.
J<\mes thought, as he walked slow-
ly toward his room. "I'll certain-
ly get all the demerits that have
been reserved for me and then
some, I s'pose.
James^ reached his room in a
dreadful state, of mind. Now that
he would have to leave, he found
it would be difficult indeed.
"Sakey alive," he exclaimed. "I
can't afford to be sent home. Why,
I never would be allowed to come
t(> Tarleton again. I simply can't
gohome to mother and dad in such
a way. I haven't even passed all
my work. That makes it harder
than ever."
James thrust his hands into his
pockets and -stood staring out at
the window for several seconds.
He was viewing many familiar ob-
jects for the last time, he thought.
'"Well," he said at last, "I guess
[ deserve all this. I. knew 1 was
breaking the rules and' I got
caught. I s'pose I will have to
take what-is coming, but what will
my friends think of me being sent
away simply because I did not act
a gentleman as 1 should? 1 won-
der if it would do any good to go
talk to Dean Davis."
James' face brightened, at this
thought,
"Why, I'll go try it. It can not
do any harm, at least. Gee, I
would! promise him almost any-
thing'to get him to let me stay."
Just then a bell began to ring
loudly. James awoke with a start
and looked blankly around -the
room. He breathed in a sigh of
relief. Life is real after all.
SAUNDERS' HALL
'Tention! At ease!
This is station S. 11. S. spread-
ing the weekly happenings of the
day.
We are glad to note that M'llton
Alfred "Lefty" "Mit" Pinky S. A.
Browning is dead—ly in love with
the old cow 'jumped out of the
pasture last night,, and 'as she
came running down the street he
ran , out., and caught her aroupd
the waist and kissed.,her on the
front porch of the dump.
Deeri'hg never says nothing. He
hasn't said but one tiling this
year and that was so long ag<y we
have forgotten what it was.
Joe Griggs went out in the
country to see HIS. He thinks
she is a beauty or at least he said
so the other night while he was
dreaming. He talked a great deal
thu other night as he dreamed of
the future when he would be as
much of a poet as a sheep is a
go-it. While He.was dreaming the
dish ran'away with the spoon and
when .Jack fell dowu and, broke
his crown Joe came tumbling after
to spell o-u-t you old dreamer,
you.
Freeman forgot that a straight
line is the shortest path between
two given points antl the other
day he and another girl all by
herself walked down another
street, which caused her to be de-
layed and, when he came home he
found all the boys watching him
ami thinking how brave the other'
girl. Must have been to be near
him for so long a time.
Latson has taken an unusual in-
terest in his Spanish here of late,
for the other night when he asked
her for her hand she fjaid, I am
a good little Senorita, but if you
insist, I will give my consent."
Latson was too timid to look into
her eyes and he thought from the
COLOR of her voice she was a
Spanish beauty who had been
reared in Africa. This must be
the cause for his unusual interest.
The Saunders' Hall court met
the other night and convicted Bob
for bathing with his birthday
clothes on a trunk, in the center
of the nortwest corner of the
room sat Murray with a letter
from his mother-in-law's daugh-
ter which stated, "dear,' I am sorry
I ever met you, for I had intended
to give my hand to a white man,
but you know how dark it was the
other night on the back porch.
Wee will clothes this time, and
saye wee thank you for your kinde

on this telescoped view of the life

TilfJ TAKLETON CHEE CHEE
Dear Mi mi: I thought I had
told you all about Tarleton, but
ah—zere is so much; I have only
mentioned it before. It is never
the same two days. Something
always changing. Why only Tues-
day we went to ze chapel hall and
what do you suppose, 2ere wis
instead of ze dean, ze "slave" of
which I told you about in my other
letter; I think hez -name is which-
are "or something like that. Zez
all talk so queer, and oh, so many
funny words. (I don't know, but
zey must have tvvb kinds of lan-
guage, any way zere is only one
kind ze ladies use, they say.)
Now to tell yOu about ze funny
chapel. To get in, you give him
a piece of money at the door, j Ev-
eryone seemed so interested aat I
give him my money too. zere as
I told you before was ze dean,
(only it wasn't ze dean,) and ze
Mrs. Chamberlin, who ez so nice.
She had grown too much hair over
ze night to look like she always
does. Oh, but she was very good,
I did not know before people could
look so much alike unless zey/were
twins. And Mimi, ze. Mister Fer-
guson sat there just like he al-
j -ways does wiz zat far-away look
and a nice pose for a good nap,
and his arm. so comfortable on ze
back of Mrs. Chamberlin's chair.
Zere were so many I did not know
them all, but zere is one Monsieur,
who ze dean is always saying Is
ze ugliest man on ze campus; but
Mimi, he is surely playing ze joke,
(zat is ze favorite sport, over here)
I gues if ze dean had the study of
funny letters like H2Q- and NaOH
wiz him,he would change his mind.
Zero is only one more I will tell
you about now; as 1 told yo.u be-
fore, zere is so many I do not know
ze names. I'll try and learn zem
before I write again. I am learn-
ing bo many funny names you will
almost die when I tell you, why I
■can't spell zem now, they are so
,funny. ' But ze man I, will tell yout)
about how is ze Mister Road—oi?<
I believe it, ez Lane,—oh, any way
it . means ze boulevard, he is so
queer. In his classes he gives lit-
tle papers; zeii before you c'fiM
count, he takes zem away. He is
a; little like zey say we are,r—'he
could not talk wiz out his hands.
Zey say the man who really waa
"ze1 man" liked it so good, he let
his class go. He surely must have
liked it very much, for ze always
keep the students until ze little
bell goes olf.
Mimi, zere was a man who come
| ze other day, zey called him the_
President; he must have been ze'
President of America, for, zey
changed Friday to Thursday for
him. I did not know such a thing
could happen, but it did right here
in ze Tarleton—Aw! zey do won-
der here. In ze laboratory zey
call chemistry zey change water
to wine. Presto; its water; presto
its wine.
Zere is a drink they have here
(it is called pop, I think,) zey had
on a picnic ze Seniors had. 1
gues they call it pop because it la
all shook up, it comes out of ze
bottle right quick and makes a
funny noise-—Oh! it serves the
purpose of helping the sandwich
down ze throat. I am very fond of
It; I'll bring you some when I
come home.
Zere is another funny thing
about Tarleton, zat is, every time
they see ze boy and ze girl togeth-
er they say he has S. A.; I guess
S. A. means the girl.
Well, Mimi, ze little book they
have here which is called the pur-
ple book, (I guess it is because it
makes one so blue zat he is pur-
ple when he reads it,) says all ze
lights go out at ten o'clock; they
must be mi stake n-J-zey are still
on and it is ten minutes after ten,
so for fear zey leave me in ze dark
I close.
Your,
FiFi.
THE RAINDROP MELODY
DIDJA?
Didja ever answer the telephone
and hear some sweet voice, begin to
flow over the wire, asking you about
your family, friends and landlady.
She would at least ask you if you
would like to go fishing. If you an-
■ -sweredj--"Yes,"--she ' w->tW -.iSy-Jtfsfc"
You may talk about your music—
A piano great an' fine,
On any kind p'line*,
But to me the finest music
That makes you fairly tingle
Is the patter O'the raindrops
As they fall upon the shingles.
1
Especially in the springtime
When your corn is in the ground,
And you've plowed , 'til milkin"
time
Ter make the long last round.
But ain't you you glad you have
done it
As you crawl beneath the sheet
An' isten to the raindrops
As on the. roof they beat!
