Mr.. Davis viii be much obliged.
All student dom turned out to see
the game of ball last Saturday, but
they were once more doomed to dis
appointment, it's hard luck boys, but
We cant help it.
And now when a student feels a
hand laid on his shoulder suddenly,
he involuntary starts, with the idea
that it is the Sheriff with summons
before the grand jury.
The Parthenons invested in the
Encyclopedia Britannica at its last
meeting. This will prove good in
vestment, kind of legacy to be
handed down to future generations of
Parthenons.
Quite number of the boys went
to Clarksburg last Friday. From all
accounts they had most enjoyable
time, and came back to their studies
at the University, impressed with
Clarksburg's hospitality.
We are glad to have our President
with us once more, while perhaps a
majority Of us are somewhat sore
Puycr his defeat, we cannot but know
that what may be the loss of the Sec
ond District is the University's gain.
Miss Lee who is visiting her broth
er, Major Lee, has painted beauti-
full picture, looking down the river
from the University. 1t is well con-
ceived and splcndidly executed, and
its merit shows Miss Lee to be pos

talent
One day last week was the birth
day Of Joseph Mickledoony Devinc.

pensities of his roommate, Solomon
Peter Wells, and when Solomon "riz in
his wrath" they all decamped, leav-
ing the field and Sets worth of lamp
black to the victors.
We notice that the habit Of cigar
cite smoking is obtaining among the
boys to a very considerable extent
On the street the smoker opens his
way by a thick cloud Of smoke, in no
way seeming to care who may be in
front of him; on the campus, in the
house, wherever he may be, he still
INDUCES in this most useless and
dangerous habit. you may eveE know
him as he sits during the study hour
by the following description:
"In mind composed he sucks thick curling
OF smoke around his reeking temples play
Joyous he sits, and, lmpotent Of thought
Pufs care and sorrow from his heart.
We now hand our baseball laurels
over to the victorious Rough and
Readys, since our University Nine
was not as good as they were, we
cheerfully award them whatever
dreams of the Diamond Champion
ship" that may have flashed through
our benighted minds. The game
last Saturday was good one, and
the Rough and Readys deserve all
the credit Of the, victory, and now
that this question is settled, they
may look to the students for friendly
encouragement in all their playing.
The Second University Nine played
the Half-past Nine and defeated them
last Saturday morning.
The sun had bIazed the western sky,
As onward in his course on high
He passed; the hills in darkness lie.
All sounds are hushed, save one, the cry
The fogs Of night were gathering fast,
And tightly in his hands he pressed,
bottle, which his lips caressed:
Twas "Peruna'
The stars looked down npon the scene,
And wondered what those yells could mean
In such strict non-license town,
Where good people look with frown
On "Peruna."
Oft had the streets of Morgantown
Resounded thus from eve till dawn,
But ne err such a racket came,
As from the flask that bore the name
Of"Peruna"
Just as you've hushed. with brickbat,
A festive, moons.rnck Thomas-cat,
So such would be the just reward,
Of such young men, who sleep retard,
With "Peruna"
Let now admonish the boys,
To abstain from such bcastly noise,
As this youth would surely have done,
Had he counted the cost Of his fun
And "Peruna."
May the day dawn, when no more,
Shall cur streets resound as OF yore,
When quiet homes and streets shall tell
