ONIONS.
Sometimes it rains from tho sky
although that is rare in tho West;
But if not from tho sky
It must from tho oyos
For tho "Fish" must havo water to
rest.
"Salloy" Bradloy: f Think III bo
drawn for military sorvico oroul next
February.
Bystandlng "Fish": Havo you boon
Inspected yet?
Speaking of utility Prof. Richard-
son Bald: "Tho second slice of water-
melon always has much greater util-
ity than the first.
MARY AT THE RECEPTION
Mary had a littlo Fish
Sho lovod tho best sno could
Tho day boforo tho party camo
Sho promised him 'sho would.
Ho woro a shirt of flimsy woavo
A suit of bilious green
Rod tio.'lourt sox and all I say
His looks wero not so mean.
Tho smiling matrons touched his hand
And passed It down tho line
Whoro fairy wondorB dressed in whlto
Turned way In meok resign.
To feel an arm pump up and down
And hear a word of fond salute
As down the lino tho gay Fish went
Shirts and socks and now greon suit
Tho air wob filled with a subtlo fra-
granco
As our horo stalked 'round tho room
'Surcharged with scent of vegetable
greon- -
Tho od'rouB sancity of Fish porfumo.
Mary stood upon tho stair
A glow of curling tresses
(And now and then sho peered in vain
A sea of ovonlng dresses.
From out tho crowd hor horo came
Tall strident and serene;
An ample path was mado for him
His shirt and sox and suit of green.
"My only Mary" ho whispered close.
Sho caught hor breath "So bold?"
"Why don't you como with mo my
dear
And got your fortune told?"
Tho room was small; tho crowd was
largo;
And spaco was as a prize
But speaking down ho ovorcamo
Tho difference in their size.
Fond Mary slipped ono hand in his
Hor face an ashon hue
As In her palm tho Gysy read
Tho things sho'd like to do.
"Kind fortune must havo smiled on
you"
Tho wily maid began
"Of all tho women you'll bo tho richest
Your ljUBband a. richer man."
y
I
Poor Mary's pulse was all a-trcmble.
"Your frocks of rainbow colors;
Your car a Super-Twelve
A nlghtlngalo below your window;
"And when you die you shall bo buried
Amongst a bed of what you wish."
"OnlonB!" wailed tho fainting maiden
As she swooned against tho Fish.
Who's the Joke On?
Tho Juniors know what thoy want
but they do not know how to spell It!
This seems to bo tho "Big Joke on tho
Junior Class.'' Hero Is how It hap-
pened :
Tho above mentioned class believ-
ing themsolves entitled to certain pe-
culiar advantages rights exemptions
and immunities present a written pe-
tition to the faculty in tones of gentlo
persuasiveness that they be pormitted
to enjoy the favors which havo since
been considered just and entirely in-
offensive. The joke is not on tho
Junior Privileges. As a Junior ex-
presses it "They're no Joko! Tho Joko
Is on a certain member of the "Privi-
lege Committee" who cannot spell his
own given name. Ho misspelled tho
word which stands for tho very thing
tho Juniors wore most desirous of
privileges. i '
A slx-cpurso lycoum thaMa guaran-
teed to please ovorybody: Got your
tickets boforo tho seats aro all tak-
en. Tho lycoum is to bo bettor in every

I don't mind my room-mato wearing
My collars and my shoes
And ho may havo my shirts and ties
And handkerchiefs profuso.
My suits aro his if ho wants thom;
My towels and my soap
But at my collar buttons friend
Is whoro I draw tho ropo
Now I woko up this morning lato
Ho had already left;
Of fresh-pressed suit and collars clean
I found myself boreft.
With patient grind I donnod tho
clothes
That I woro yesterday
Thon turned unto tho dressor whoro
My collar buttons lay.
Or rather whero I thought thoy lay
For thoy wero not there thon
And I was Just a trifle peeved
To tell tho truth my friend.
Of courso I had a nine o'clock
'Twos thon olght fifty-two
Eight minutes kid in which to dress
Now what was I to do?
I looked through all tho drossor draw-
ors. In hopes I'd find a pair
I rummaged through his dirty shirts
But not a ono was thoro. t
Now on my nocb thoro was a wart.
As big as any dlno
And I was very proud of it
Had ownod it qulto a tlmo.
I tlo'd my collar down in front
That wart sorved well indeed
To hold my collar down behind
It was a friend in need.
But as all day long tho collaVchafed
It looso and loosor grow.
And when I took my collar off
1 took my wart off too.
"Roomio'' is for arbitration-
"Tho tonguo boforo tho fist''

MARY F's DRE8S.
Mary had an evening dress
Its COLORS wore very bold;
And every where that Mary went
This dress was wont to go.
It followed hor to Simmons this year
Which was against tho rule.
It mado tho matron say "O dear"
To Beo this dress so cool.
And so tho censors ruled It out
And left the girl in tears
But in tho bottom of her trunk
This dress 'will last for-years.
"What makes tho girls love colors so?'
Tho many teachers cry;
"Why the colors love us all you know"
Tho lassies did reply.
And now
Mary has a nice now dress
Its color is like tho snow
And the FEW receptions Mary attends
This dress is like to go.
Tho neck of it comes to her "years''
Just in accord to rule
Tho sleeves reach to her finger nails
Just soo this dress so now! !
