Through a wager OF pie, between a
college student and one of the lady
tutors, the college clock is again in
motion, and it strikes the hours of the
day and night with commendable regu-
larity. The wager is understood by DO

the source of wonder is that Its compli-
cation did not stop the clock altogether.
the proposition concerning the can
ming factory is still being agitated by the
owners of the roller rink, and as general
public conclusions point to the fact that
the enterprise would have no other than
beneficial results, something should be
done about it. The gentlemen who are
thinking the matter over. would ike
some assistance, and the people Of Yank.
ton should see that they have it.
