CEDAR'S CHATTER
Back again to the little house in
the Cedara. Everything is just as
we left it and we are glad to be
back. It has been a long hard
summer and the old room looks
pretty good to us:
There arn't as many of us this
year aig there were last year. Joyce
has gone to A. & M. Dawkins is
married—'Bailey is — who knows
where?
Speaking of Dawkins reminds
me that every one I have'for a
roommate gets maried the next
year. I hope that is no ill omen
for "Dusty"—looks awful thata'
way though.
The same bathroom scene:
■'Gimme that towel."
"Get that razor out of my face."
"Here! It's my turn to use the
wash basin."
"Where's that confounded soap."
Good grief! There's the bugle"
Slamm! Bang! And we're gone
to breakfast.
Well, I've struggled through this
spasm, college algebra, trigonom-
etry and junior English, maybe
I'll , do it again next week. Any-
-how Stagger Inn, Cedars bids you
a fond farewell.
TREES
If you see the Dean shedding tears
you may know that it is because a
tree had to be cut down when the
foundation for the new dormitory is
laid. One of the things which makes
our campus so pretty is the location
of its many beautiful trees. The Dean
realizes this and takes every precau-
tion to see that our trees are spared
and tended. Joyce Kilmer has truth-
fully said; '
"Poems are made by fools like me;
But only God can make a tree."
EX-STUDENTS VISIT
THE COLLEGE
Miss Mabeth Hanna, Tarleton
tnurse of 1924-25, visited us last
week end. Miss Hanna was a true
Tarletonite and her visit was a
real treat. . . -
Dewey'Mulloy was also our hon-
ored guest over the week end. Mr.
Mulloy is a famous man in Tarle-
ton. He lead a very victorious
Tarleton basketball team last year
and was also an honor stijdent'and
a letter man in football. "Mully"
is a very precise "Prof" and coach
at Gorman Hi this year.

How the Reform Worked
When the Union troops under
Grant, early In the Civil war, took
possession of West Kentucky.. some
difficulty was encountered In con-
trolling the populace, for that end of
the state was a hotbed of southern
sentiment and most of the young
men had enlisted in the Confederate
army. General Grant Issued procla-
mations stating that no citizen
would be molested unless he under-
took to give aid and comfort to the
enemy.
In one town In the Invaded district,
though, there was an elderly gentle-
man whose sympathies with the
southern cause were especially out-
spoken. Whenever word came of a
victory for the southern armies his
jubilation was undisguised.
The Union provost-marshal, hear-
ing complaints from his men of this
man's actions and words, decided to
make an example of him. He sent
a squad to arrest the offender and
presently, under guard, the old
gentleman was brought before htm.
"Look here," said the provost,
"I'm' getting tired of your behavior.
Every few days I hear that you've
been going about again spreading re-
ports that our forces have been de-
feated and bragging about the cour-
age of the other side. Now then, I've
decided to reform you. Either you
take the oath of allegiance to the
Union right now or off you go to a
military prison. Which shall It be?"
The prisoner decided to take the
oath. After It had been administered
the northern officer felt that a fur-
ther admonition might be In order,
"Now, then," he said, "I hope you
understand what this thing means?
If ever again you utter a word of
disparagement for the Union cause
or a fword of approval for the Con-
federates, and I hear of It, you'll
suffer' severely, because now you're a
loyalUnionist. And if you make a
single disloyal remark you're guilty
of treason."
The reclaimed one thanked him
for the warning. On hlB way out he
stopped at the door.
"Major," he said, "they ain't no law
against thlnkin', is they?"
"That depends," said the major.
"What's In your mind now?"
"Well," said the Kentucklan, "I
was just thlnkin' that them Johnnies
certainly did give us fellers h—l.day
before ylstlddy down below the. state
line."

I Want to take this means of ex-
pressing, for myself and my fellow
students our gratitude to Dean Davis
and the College for the recent increase
in pay for student labor. It means a
great deal to all of us who must work
our way through school. We wish to
extend our most sincere appreciation
for this step.

MY LOVE AFFAIR
•I once met a very beautiful girl.
Oh! she was beautiful, beyond doubt!
She had the most beautiful teeth I
ever saw in a woman's dome. Ex-
quisite—both of them. Keally she had
three but one was so far back in her
head I don't count it.
I met her at the beach, One day I
was walking along and I heard an
agonized scream for help. I dashed
madly into the water and dragged her
onto the beach by her hair.
Instantly I recognized my beloved
wife to be. (It is a peculiar coinci-
dence but my father met his wife
when he saved her from a watery
grave. I always wondered why he did
not teach me how to swim!)
Well, I asked her if I might call on
her and she replied in a voice like a
fog horn, tempered with garlic that I
might.
One day I gathered some "lilies of
the alley"—they were to pave the way
—put on my other clean shirt and
went to her house. I knocked at the
door, she answered, I said, "Kitten—
(I called her 'Kitten' for the first nine
days, until I had my eyes open) will
you be mine," She said, "You will
have to ask father."
So I went into see her father. He
was a very fine old gentleman. His
uncle was a retired banker—the judge
retired him for ten years, I said to
him, "Sir, I wish the hand of your
daughter in the holy bunk of matri-
mony. He looked me over from my
halfsoled shoes to last winter's hat
and said, "What will you do if I re-
fuse?"
I said, "I shall take her away from
you and you shall never see her again."
So he refused—
We went to see the preacher. He
tied the knot. He was a kind man
and a good fellow. I hated to offend
him by giving him money, so I show-
ed him how to fix his gas meter so it
wouldn't register. He was very pro-
fuse in his thanks. Very. My coat-
tails were full of shoes as I left the
house. .
So that is how X became a married
man.

THE "FISH'S LAMENT
I had a good name, John Jones, and
they took it away and gave me a num-
ber, 679. I had a good bed and they
took it away, and gave me the floor
to sleep on. I had a good home and
they took it away and gave me the
"Fort." I had a good place to eat
and they took it away and gave me
the "Dump." I had a sweetheart and
they took her away and gave me
nothing.
So one day they marches us up to
chapel and a fellow up in front with
a song book in his hand says, "Are Ye
Weary, Are Ye Tired, Are Ye Sore
Oppressed, Number 679." And I jumps
up and yells, "You bet I am," and they
gave me six demerits.
Although the report has been cir-
culated that our shop was closed on
account of the fire Monday morning,
we assure you that we are very much-
ly open, and will appreciate your busi-
ness as usual,—Pate Bros., Barbers.
What's the matter with the Dump?••
Why, everything! They haven't con-
tributed hardly at all to. the J-Tae.
Come on, girls, jar loose', shell down,
break out, step on it, let's get some
Dump scandal running in this paper.
There are lots of things happening
that the Fort wants to know. Women
aren't the only curious creatures there
are. Us men sure do crave, some
knowledge as to the inside doings of
the Dumpitory. Right here we chal-
lenge you to hand us a column for
next week's J-Tac and if you don't
you're "pikers," Get the think tank
and pencil going.
"Although she's the garbage man's
daughter,
I love her with all of my heart.'
She comes to our house every morning
On her father's old slop cart.
Wejove each other so dearly,
Our two hearts beat as one,
And some of these days, she consent-
ing,
I'll be the garbage man's son."
