versity items, his eye rested upon the
well known form Of Maj. Lee. The
Major seemed to be in unusually
good spirits; a broad smile, which

that splendid opportunity was Offer

will have n number Of new students
from that section next fall. tell
you there is nothing like the military
to bring them in"
"Well Major, how about that re-
port about one Of the boys shooting
some farmers dog along the road2
