terupted by my roommate who threw
open the door, brandished a parcel
over bis head and shouted at the top
of his voice: "Sic Semper Tyrannis |!
E. Pluribus Unum!! Gardeila Air
ollaIi Eureka have it! !" [
asked my usually n'acid friend what
his object was in giving vent TO his feel
iDgs In such boisterous manner, and
he replied "success has crowned my
efforts" "You see" continued lake,
Il started out to find pair of overshoes
with straps, in fact had set my heart
on obtaining a pair and was deter
mined to take no other kind. | first
applied to Courtney, he told me that
they were out of style, Van Wagner
swore by his shoe makers last that
they never rad never been in style and
McCsrty affirmed that they never
would he"
81 continued NY search, however,
and finally found them" To prove
has assertion my roommate tore off
the wrapper and showed me pair of

After viewing the drill Of the Fam
beau club last Wednesday night, l
predicted to my roommate that our
boys would capture first prize sure
pop. Jake, VINO claims 10 be away
up in military tactics and had some
idea of accompanying the boys to
Washington, replied, that | was very
much mistaken. Said he: If they
return with the third prize, l, for
one, shall be very well satisfied" |
hootej at this assertion so emphatical-
" that Jake finally admitted that
they might come iii seco0d, but
FIRST, NEVER.
About this time it struck me that my
room-mate had been member OF ihe
del.4ocrat fiambeau club, and, attribut-

of jealousy, dropped the subject.

DO you know" impaired Jake,
"that the only hlrsute appendage
ffambeau club boy is allowed to
sport is mus:ache. Whiskers
aud side burns are strictly prohibited.
Jake ZuDz, Crawford, Herb Minis
Q and Harry Demuth are cnly few of
the many who were compelled to bow
to the inevitable and they look too
funny for any use, without whiskers
for the wind" Jake's comments
were cut short by a thunder bolt that
came direct from on high. Said bolt

a few moments.

given at the Broadway Presbyterian
church last Thursday evening and
claimed that the party delivering same
is fraud of the first water and ex-
pressed surprise that the management
of the star lecture course allowed
themselves to be "taken In" by a Zoe
museam freak.
Jake states that the little woman is
no more an Esquimaux than he is,
and is willing to bet dollars 10 dimes
that she is Norwegian.
Having great respect for my room-
mates opinion | declined to accept
the wager, which, however, is open
to ali parties who differ with Jake on
this subject.
Having occasion to purchase few
pieces of music, [ called on Truxel
one day last week. and after making
my selection started to leave. when [
noticed on the opposite side of the
store my roommate engaged in an
interesting conversation with Mr..
Heinrichs. Upon the show case be-
tween them lay a tray containing
plain gold rings. my Jeweler" held,
between thumb and finger, very
heavy gold band ring, and in glib
manner was saying:
'This, Jake, is a very popular size
for an engagement ring. 1t will, L
think, be about what you want, and
is not as expensive as some of the solid
gold ones. 1t is heavily plated, and
you will have secured divorce from
the lady you intend to marry long be-
