DR.. Allen made professional visit
to Kingwood last Saturday, Mrs.
Allen and visitor accompanying him.
We will retract what we said about
the organization of glee club, in
recent report, tie boys got ont the
other night just about our bedtime.
The Base Ball Club had a picture
taken last Saturday. 1t may not be
the best club in the state, but as the
the other sex would express it, we will
wager III is tue pfeltlest.
The Cadets marched through town
last Thursday evening. and had dress
parade before the court square. The
appearance toe corps made was uni
versally admired, while their drilling
was excellent.
And now Bob Stewart is happy.
He received hallmark from the
object Of his affection, and he has
patent device whereby it is rivitcd in
an old hat, no one wants an old hat,
therefore his. smiles.
A large number of ladies were
present at dress parade last Thurs
day on the campus, but the change
of parade to Court House Square
disappointed them. Come again,
ladies, we are always glad. to see
you.
Jimmy Shearer was poisoned last
week, and his face swefled up until it
was the image of "Chinese" baby,
| (no disrespect to the baby, Jimmy.
We are glad to notice him out again
and hope he will be free from such
experience in the future.
A prize ring has been established
near the campus and students of a
pugnacious turn of mind, may now
work off the passion of heated
breast" according to the Marquis of
Queensbury Rules. But one mill has
been fought as yet, one throwing up
the sponge ON the Both round. The
contestants were Tug Talbot and
Sullivan Boughner.
The story is now in circulation
that certain student went home the
other night, and pulled off his clothes
and put them to bed, and then very
carefully hung himself over chair.
OF course it was the abstraction of a
studious mind, but let us remind
those thus affected that q bed is q
much more comfortable position for
the body, notwithstanding the mind
may be raised so far above sublu-
nary things.
Last Friday night, chairman Of
a committee to fix the locks of the
library door in the Parthnon Hall,
reported his work done, stating that
on the LIST of october he proceeded
to the iron store and there purchas-
ed lock, etc. The report was
adopted and the committee was dis
missed under censure for buying the
lock on Sunday. We don't think
Strauss will attempt to report again
until he has his report duly. made
out in ink.
The correspondent of the Post
from the University, has evidently
, not recovered from the effects of his
apple eating, he perpetrates some
astrocious puns, and he winds up an
item thus: "Boys, how many of you
will go and do likewise p Echo an
swers: "How." Does it? Well, it

able echoes, but since he declares he
is suffering for want Of something to
eat, we will suggest that it is our
opinion that it is nothing but the
growl Of his empty stomach.
The University Club was defeated
by the Rough and Readys last Sat
urday, but we are authorized to chal-
lenge them to play any day next
week for purse of $40. and the gate
money. If the r. d RS are not
afraid they will accept this challenge.
1t is now useless to talk of the mis-

but if the r. d RS think they are
so much superior to them, let them
come up with their $40. and name
the day. This they cannot help

be required. Come to the front and
let us know you are not trying to get
out of second game.
Another of the University's sons
has launched his frail bark upon the
uncertain sea Of matrimony. Last
Thursday evening amid the good
wishes and hearty congratulations of
his many friends, he weighed anchor
and sailed away from the port of
celibacy. Way out on that precari
Gus sea he Joyous glides," and his
many friends from the distant shore
wave him bon voyage. 1t is our
hope that on this sea where there
are many storms and even the calm
